The Department of Geography at Florida State University offers graduate degree programs at the master's and doctoral levels designed to equip students with the technical skills and intellectual creativity required in a changing labor market. Faculty and students working in the geography department investigate critical issues of society, geospatial inquiry, and the physical environment, including the linkages between global and local processes, a hallmark of geographic investigation. Within this larger set of concerns, individuals in the department study and devise methodological and theoretical solutions for specific issues ranging from cities and mobilities, hurricane activity, climate change, urban remote sensing, and space-time visualization.
The overarching focus of departmental research is on geospatial modeling, urban analysis, and environmental hazards. Current work under investigation includes transportation optimization, land use/land cover change, urban growth, population mapping, regionalization and localization theory, political ecology, environmental conflict and policy, local economic development, urban sustainability, environmental health, hurricane forecasting, tropical forests and grasslands, coastal and estuarine ecosystems, energy consumption and conservation, and resource management. The department's foundation in geo-spatial sciences is built upon expertise in geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and spatial analysis. Faculty active in this area specialize in theoretical developments in GIScience, quantitative methods and spatial modeling. The College of Social Sciences and Public Policy hosts a GIS laboratory with microcomputers running GIS, remote sensing, and statistical software, as well as access to digital representation of satellite sensor imagery, and population statistics. A master's degree in GIScience is popular with students intending to enter the GIS industry as program managers, systems analysts, programmers, and application directors for GIS companies or private and public opportunities, such as the EPA, and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, as well as environmental agencies, real estate, and financial institutions.
Graduate students design programs of study focusing on important social issues, geospatial techniques, and environmental problems. While in residence, funded students gain valuable experience and skills in teaching and research, as well as assisting faculty in the classroom and on study projects. By the time they graduate, PhD students will have experience as instructors holding full responsibility teaching undergraduate courses and many will have published papers in scholastic journals and presented results of their research at professional conferences.
Applicants must hold a degree in geography or a related field from an accredited college or university, a baccalaureate degree in the case of students entering the master's program and a master's degree in the case of applicants to the doctoral program. Individuals holding degrees in fields other than geography are welcome to apply but may need to make up deficiencies, as judged by the graduate director and major professor. Minimum requirements for admission are a 3.0 GPA and a combined math/verbal GRE score of 300. Students who native language is not English in addition to the above, must also score a minimum of 600 on the paper-based, 250 on the computer-based, or 100 on the Internet-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), and at least 45 on the SPEAK test. Current application instructions are available from the FSU Department of Geography Web site (http://www.coss.fsu.edu/geography/). Applicants are required to submit GRE scores, three letters of recommendation, a statement of intent, and a writing sample through the online Apply Yourself (AY) application portal described on the departmental Web page.
The non-thesis option master's program is designed as a flexible course of study allowing the student, in consultation with the major professor, to develop a specialized program tailored to the student's interests and career goals. Students entering this program generally seek the master's as a terminal degree. The department offers both the Master of Science (MS) and Master of Arts (MA) degrees.
The coursework for the non-thesis option consists of a minimum of thirty-two semester hours. Students are required to take three core courses (nine semester hours total) designed to provide a solid foundation for investigating geographic issues relating to social and environmental problems. Students who have taken similar courses at the bachelor's level may petition for exemption. Students must earn a grade of "B" or better in each of the core courses:
GEO5058 Survey of Geographic Thought (3)
GEO5118C Introduction to Geographic Research (3)
GEO5165C Quantitative Geography (3)
In addition, each student selects at least eight elective courses (total of twenty-four semester hours) in consultation with the major professor.
The thesis option master's program is designed to provide for and certify a student's mastery of the discipline. This requires both breadth of geographic knowledge, acquired through a range of coursework, and depth of experience, achieved through original research culminating in a thesis. Master's students planning to pursue a doctoral degree should take the thesis option. The department offers both the Master of Science (MS) and Master of Arts (MA) degrees.
The coursework consists of a minimum of twenty-four semester hours (plus a minimum of six thesis hours). Students are required to take three core courses (nine semester hours) designed to provide a solid foundation for investigating geographic issues relating to social and environmental problems. Students who have taken similar courses at the bachelor's level may petition for exemption. Students must earn a grade of "B" or better in each of the core courses:
GEO5058 Survey of Geographic Thought (3)
GEO5118C Introduction to Geographic Research (3)
GEO5165C Quantitative Geography (3)
In addition, each student selects at least five elective courses (fifteen semester hours) in consultation with the graduate advisor or major professor.
With the advice of a supervisory committee, the student prepares a written thesis prospectus that identifies a substantive geographic topic and demonstrates familiarity with the literature and methods appropriate to its solution. The prospectus is developed in consultation with the major professor. When the major professor deems it ready, the student must orally defend the prospectus. Full-time students should plan to defend the prospectus by the end of the first academic year. Once the prospectus has been accepted, the student begins the research and writing process, working with the major professor on initial drafts and drawing the supervisory committee into the process over time. The final step involves an oral defense of the thesis after the complete working draft has been accepted by the major professor. The defense is open to departmental faculty and graduate students.
The applied MS program in Geographic Information Science (GISci) is aimed at individuals who wish to cultivate a deep understanding of geospatial technologies in mapping and data analysis rather than a broad-based understanding of geography as a discipline. Students must earn thirty-two semester hours, including six semester hours in a capstone project. This fast-track option allows students to complete their degree in twelve months if they wish.
Required Courses. Students are required to take three core courses (fourteen semester hours) designed to provide a solid foundation for investigating geographic issues relating to social and environmental problems. The capstone course, GIS 5950 (six semester hours) is required of all MSGIS students during the last semester of residence. It is designed in consultation with a faculty member and demonstrates the student's skills by either developing an individual project or engaging in a work-related internship. It is offered only during summer terms. Students must earn a grade of "B" or better in each of the core courses:
GIS5034 Introduction to Remote Sensing (3)
GIS5034L Introduction to Remote Sensing Lab (1)
GIS5101 Geographic Information Systems (3)
GIS5101L Geographic Information Systems Lab (1)
GIS5106 Advanced Geographic Information Science (3)
GIS5950 GIScience Capstone (6)
In addition to the required courses, each student selects at least four elective courses (twelve semester hours) in consultation with the Applied GISci Program Coordinator Dr. James Elsner, 323 Bellamy or firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit the department's Web site at http://www.coss.fsu.edu/geography/.
For the doctoral program, the course requirements include the three courses required of the master's degree (if not taken previously), two additional core courses, and at least seven elective courses (twenty-one semester hours total.) All doctoral students must pass qualifying exams, including written and oral portions, for admission to candidacy for the doctoral degree. The supervisory committee determines passage or failure by a majority vote. Students who fail these exams after two attempts will be dropped from the doctoral program. A student admitted to candidacy is eligible to register for dissertation hours. Completion of the dissertation normally requires at least one year. The student prepares a written dissertation prospectus that demonstrates the potential to conduct original research making a significant contribution to knowledge. Once the prospectus is deemed acceptable to the major professor and the supervisory committee, the student begins the research and writing process. At some point during one's doctoral study, a student must register for a total of twenty-four semester hours taken in a period of twelve consecutive months. The final step involves an oral defense of the dissertation, which is open to public viewing. During the dissertation defense, all committee members and the student must attend the entire defense in real time, either by being physically present or participating via distance technology.
Students are required to take four core courses (twelve credit hours) and earn at least a "B" in the following:
GEO5058 Survey of Geographic Thought (3)
GEO5118C Introduction to Geographic Research (3)
GEO5165C Quantitative Geography (3)
GEO6093 Professional Development Geography (3)
The department offers a limited number of graduate assistantships. These are initially awarded for two semesters and generally entail a stipend of around $16,000, with possibility of additional support for teaching summer classes. Support in following years is contingent on satisfactory performance academically and in assistantship duties, for a maximum of two years for master's students and four years for doctoral students. Department assistantships usually include a waiver of tuition.
Department assistantships require that recipients perform instructional or research duties within the department. Students holding research assistantships are required to provide between thirteen and twenty hours of service to the department per week. Most master's students assist faculty in the classroom or on research projects, while most PhD students have full responsibility teaching undergraduate courses, gaining valuable instructional experience. University policy stipulates that all students receiving financial assistance in a given semester must register for nine credit hours, including summers. For more information, contact the Graduate Admissions Coordinator in the Department of Geography.

alcove when he collapsed on Friday afternoon, the Sunday
Telegraph reported.
He died at nearby St Vincent's Hospital a short time later
from a suspected heart issue.
Witnesses told police the man "didn't look very well" in the
moments before he fell to the ground, the newspaper reported.
Police confirmed the man was a New Zealand national and had
been formally identified by a relative living in Sydney.
A spokesman for FreemantleMedia, the production company
behind the X Factor, described the incident as tragic.
"He collapsed late yesterday (Friday) and was treated by
medics on site before being transferred by ambulance to St
Vincent's Hospital."

This week, you'll need a little patience as you wait, wonder, and hope.
The embryo-to-be, now securely implanted in the lining of your uterus, is starting to develop. Although you could do a home pregnancy test this week, you may end up disappointed or uncertain because at this stage a definite result is unlikely. It can be nerve racking, wondering if an unwanted period is about to arrive and dash your hopes. Talk to your partner and share your feelings with him-he may be anxious, too.

Interesting work and nice. Beautiful!
This is a great picture and I love the way you presented the furs. Very much meant as an honor to them.
I do think the fake eye on it is a little distracting from the beauty of the pic tho. But that's nit-picking!

I love animals too, and will never hurt them. The artist here didn't hurt or kill one of our furry friends. The way it is showing and wearing by the model, gives to the fox a place of honor in this picture.
this photo has an amazing atmosphere !
It's just amazing! I have no words to describe my admiration.
I love it - it just works so well!
what a wonderful character!
would love to see more!
Absolutely beautiful image...it somehow manages to be primal and fairy tale at the time time. Gorgeous!
Ich m a g es, wie die Haarfarbe zur Tapete passt. Alles in allem super stimmig!
the model is very beautiful! and the place seems to be very nice. but is that fur real?
Deine Arbeiten sind so schön, dieses hier gefällt mir besonders gut!
Wow, she's like a natural extension of the room!
Wow, I love the character, concept and especially the colors, but still kind of feel bad for the fox

Rep. Luzviminda Ilagan (Party-list, Gabriela) said the Philippine National Police (PNP) should increase visibility and presence in crowded areas and install Close Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in key points.
"The Aquino administration through the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) can ask malls to increase guards and cameras, issue advisories and warnings to parents and train bus conductors on the protocol regarding suspicious characters and distracted parents," Ilagan said.
Ilagan said Congress should increase the penalty for child abduction. Rep. Reena Concepcion Obillo (Party-list, Una ang Pamilya) said raising parents' awareness primarily through mass media could prevent child abduction. This would curb the vulnerability of kids to become victims, she said.
Obillo underscored that it is the primary responsibility of parents to keep their kids safe. Obillo suggested more police visibility in high-risk areas where abductions take place, plus more police intelligence work on perpetrators and their modus operandi, where the abducted kids end up, and greater interdiction efforts on ransom attempts.
The police have activated "Task Force Sagip Anghel" to look into reports of missing children in the metropolis. In recent weeks, a number of children have been reported missing to the police. Some of the kids were recovered while others remain missing. Records from the NCRPO showed 38 cases of child abductions in Metro Manila last year.

The form of the default name for an Azure Website is along the lines of:
But you'd very probably like something like:
mywebsite.com ...or...
To get that with a Windows Azure website - you need to configure DNS and make entries in to your DNS registrar's zone file for the domain you want to use. You need to use some special "Azure Websites Verify" (awverify) CNAME records to prove to Azure that you actually own the domain.
This video shows you how to do it:
Oops, something didn't work.
Very informative. Is it possible to have wildcard subdomains? We have a multitenant app where users can sign up and create a new site where the url of their new site is customername.example.com. Is this something that is supported by Azure websites? Thanks.

Skip to comments.Axelrod Refuses to Say Whether Obama Met with Natl Security Team Before Heading to Las Vegas
Posted on 10/14/2012 4:02:07 PM PDT by Snuph
After David Axelrods repeated assurances this morning on Fox News Sunday that there isnt anybody on this planet who feels a greater sense of responsibility for our diplomats than this President, Chris Wallace asked how soon after the Benghazi attacks the President actually met with his national security team.
Wallace followed up on Axelrods non-answer by asking whether the President managed to squeeze in a meeting with the National Security Council before jetting off to Las Vegas for a campaign rally. Given Axelrods inability to produce a straightforward answer to the questions, its pretty clear the answer is no.
(Excerpt) Read more at nationalreview.com ...
doubt it...he's all knowing,all exceptional,all benevolent, and all BS
He is a pig.
"I don't need to meet with them for a 'bump in the road.' They can write up a little review and email it to me in Vegas."
He read the brief on his iPad.
Certainly the award for the biggest liar on the planet will be given to someone inside this administration!
I propose that for the next Presidential debates, we have rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and Mark Levin as moderators.
Of course, "Axe" failed to mention that the planet in question was Zotton.
Of course he didn't. He's too busy with important things to be bothered about doing his job.
Oh Krap! I would hate to find myself buying a car from this smarmy person! This administration has nothing but contempt for US - the people!
First things , first, with this President.
Priorities . . .ya know.
I watched in real time and when Wallace asked him that question, you can see Alexrod had a touch of fear in his eyes...
He knew it was a 50 megaton loaded question...that had no good answer ....
Chris should have nailed him to the wall.....
Two thirds of the magic triad.
Hear No Evil
See No Evil
Speak Lots Of Evil
Those intelligence briefers are such pests! No wonder he went to Williamsburg to prepare for the debate- something important- where they won't be interrupting him with their unimportant trivialities, bumps in the road...
That would be a no - he did not.
The reason Axlegrease was soooooooooo blue is that all he was doing was blowing smoke.
What was very clear to me is he wanted to get the heck out of town and on to more campaigning. He certainly did not show "cares so much" but "I don't care". If he were an R...but he's not so he gets away with way too much as in everything. You just know that the LSM will get back to reporting as soon as we have a Pres. Romney. I am so sick and tired of them!!
I heard the radio replay of the interview and what really got me was when Axelrod said TWICE "No one in the world is more concerned for the safety of our diplomatic personnel than this president..." Yes, and that's why he went to Vegas after hearing that they were brutally murdered, hung out with Letterman and the girls on the View, whooped it up with Jay Z and Beyonce and skipped intelligence briefings. NO ONE is more concerned! What an azzho.
"" Improve your golf swing in 7 easy steps"
Probably watching "Dorf on Golf!"
And like Cutter said, none of these problems would even have happened if Romney and Ryan hadn't shot first and aimed later! They recklessly put Benghazi into the news cycle when we were proceeding with quiet, cautious diplomacy, about which Romney and Ryan know nothing!
Our protest story was... was... was working until Romney and Ryan screwed it up!
Chris should have nailed him to the wall.....
A good reporter would have done just that. A partisan or thoroughly mediocre reporter would have done just what Wallace did.
the day after four Americans were murdered, Hussein was in Las Vegas partying and raising money for his re election not concerned for four American families...
seems to me the only one he cares about is himself and family..the he!! with the ones he is suppose to be leader for, I'll be watching to see how thin skinned he is on Tues. night...
We don't need you to answer the question Axie, because we know if he had met with them, you and your minions would have had it spewed all over the news. Loser.
Every word out of this mans mouth is pure evil. This is the kind of man that will feed his own children a snake.
Romney should ask him this in the debate
Exceptional idea.
And terribly sad that a Presidential candidate must do the work that a fair journalist should... but apparently, there aren't terribly many of those around.
I'm with you. Why in the world do we need to exclusively have rather poorly educated ultra-liberal "journalists" who are generally paid to read words written by somebody else? They do not moderate these debates at all.
In addition to your list, I'd add Dr. Thomas Sowell, Larry Arnn, president of Hillsdale College, and James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute. Our very weak Republican delegates to the Presidential Debate Commission are really letting us down.
Chris should have nailed him to the wall.....
YEAH, he should have, but Chris only nails Romney supporters to the wall. So damn sick of him. At the end of the show Brit did ask Wallace about where the intel on Susan Rice's appearance came from and Wallace looked like a deer-in-the headlights when he had to answer "white house".
This has Jarret's fingerprints all over it. She and Moochelle are the only ones 0zer0 answers to. Jarret is for all intents and purposes, the Prez, not 0zer0. You can bet all this Libya cover up leads directly to her.
With all the technology on Air Force 1 there is no way NOT to be in touch or KNOW what was happening the entire evening.
———With all the technology on Air Force 1 there is no way NOT to be in touch or KNOW what was happening the entire evening.——
Then why didn't Alexrod say so ?
....because Obama went back to sleep when informed of the Attack....
omission is a clear indication of guilt.
Does anybody else see the major Obama campaign people as just plain ugly and gross?
Plouffe: buck teeth, strange hair and talks like a retard
Messina: childish, borderline retarded, writes on his hands.
Axelrod: gross, greasy, ugly, evil, occasionally w blue tint
Cutter: slut, white trash, ignorant, stupid, and a proven liar
Axisrodent is a disgrace. I don't understand why the campaign staff is involved with national security?
Wallace: "What's your favorite color, David?"
Axelrod: "What is today again?"
Wallace: "Sunday."
Axelrod: "Plaid."
Plausible Deniability. They had to get Obama out of Washington, D.C. So that he could say he wasn't that involved in this mess. They were trying to work a deal with al-Qaeda and it blew up in their faces.
They haven't given a single honest response to simple questions about Benghazi for the past month- why should anybody but hardcore leftists believe what they have to say about anything else (the economy, health care, taxes, etc.)?
Thank you for all the great comments.

Evolution door - Mind-blowing door mechanism - dsgnrt - daily dose of inspiration! - find your inspiration! architecture, design and art daily! You may think that You cannot do anything really diffrent about doors - we have sliding doors, rotating or revolving doors and many more similar inventions, but this is something else!
Project: Evolution door Designer: Klemens Torggler Austrian designer Klemens Torggler designed completly unique door mechanism that opens up new applications for the door. The basis for his design is dividing door into to squares that rotate sideways without using any external track system. The process of opening and closing is absolutely absorbing to watch.
Modern Log Furniture Fuses Sliced Trunks & Organic Resins. Strangely enough, the creative duo behind these hybrid synthetic/organic designs will be the first to tell you: even they are not sure what the piece will look like when the resin solidifies and the finished object is revealed.
Michael Thomas Host and Tanja Hinder of mth woodworking in Vancouver, BC, use sections of trees ranging from 60 to 600 years old to craft new works. The idea? Chaotic nature moves into contemporary contexts (and can be easily cleaned and eaten off of) but still use 100% all-natural materials. Usually using the base of trees essentially as is, they decide how best to feature its inherent shape with a minimalist resin addition – rather than first imaging the result, then working to produce it. The pair also prefers action to talk – in that spirit, well, the beautiful items above can largely speak for themselves. Kitchen inspiration. I thought those of you looking for a little kitchen inspiration might enjoy the following kitchens from the folks at Dovetail~Workers in Wood.
They are based in Hampshire, UK, and obviously take pride in their work and create dream kitchens for each one of their clients. I love the details they've included in some of their kitchens - from a compost drawer to a little niche for trays. Check those out after the jump. Colorful Volcano Inspired Fireplace. If you think that modern fireplace designs are boring than the Terragen fireplace by a young UK company, Flying Cavalries.
It's inspired by those natural pheonomena that are a source of enourmous energy: volcanoes. This fireplace can easily become the heart of your home and become a source of energy for you after the working day. Its colors go from red and melt into gray so even when it isn't working it's still an eye-catching sculptural object. Besides being just a fireplace, the Terragen is also a stylish coffee table.

I have been involved with Open2view since April 2000.
From being one of the first contractors to start Open2view in Canterbury I have seen the company grow into the well respected and professional Real Estate Photographic and Internet Service that it is today.
I am married to Susan and have an adult son Jeremy, who is currently at Canterbury University studying Chemical & Processing Engineering.
My photographic experience stems from being a Senior Photographer in the RNZAF covering all photographic services for all three Armed Services and sometimes NZ Police.
I started my working career by joining the NZ Army at age 16, and had a number of âTradesâ until I completed 20 years in the Armed Services, the last 12 as a Senior Photographer. I then followed the civilian Photographic Trade in various roles until I purchased a Retail Photographic store in Christchurch (GardenCity Photos â Riccarton Mall) which I operated with Susan at my side for nearly 10 years, after which I sold out to the giant Kodak.
After a brief period (Nearly 2 years) of selling Real Estate with âThe Professionalsâ, I then followed a sales career with âNoel Leemingâ for 8 years and gained valuable Sales and Computer experience finishing up as Store Manager of the now defunct âComputer Cityâ.
When the opportunity arose to become involved with Open2view in 2000, I jumped at the chance. I immediately saw the potential of Real Estate Marketing via the Internet and have seen many changes in the growth of the internet and services.
The one thing that hasnât changed in 10 years though, is the requirement for High Quality Images that can be used in all facets of Real Estate Marketing.
Owning the Open2view Fendalton Photographer Franchise has given me the opportunity to provide a full high quality photographic service to Real Estate Salespeople with-in my select franchise area whilst being a part of a progressive and innovative international organisation.
I pride myself in giving the best possible service and product to both salespeople and vendors alike. I strongly believe in Honesty, Integrity, Reliability and Loyalty to all my âcustomersâ and strive to achieve the best possible result to assist in the positive marketing of all Real Estate.
Cindy and I wanted to just say a great big thank you for once again going âabove and beyondâ and providing us with such exceptional photoâs of Marinerâs Cove.
It always such a pleasure to work with you.
Thanks so much!!
Kind regards
PA for Cindy-Lee Sinclair - Harcourts Merivale.

The strong points for this sexvid are the wide variety of sets employed and the willingness of the players to get sexually involved quickly. But the sex never does ignite.

MINIMIZE FEES: Most credit cards add a 1 to 3 percent currency conversion fee to the cost of any purchase outside the U.S., even when you pay in dollars. Some cards however, like Capitol One, have eliminated it entirely. If you have more than one credit card, you might want to check the fees and use the one with the lowest foreign transaction fee.
When traveling overseas, you will likely be hit by ATM fees when you're getting cash withdrawals in local currency. There are a couple ways to minimize these fees, which can be as high as $5 per transaction.
—Call your card issuer to ask if it has partnerships with bank ATMs in other countries.
—Use a debit card from a credit union, which tends to have lower fees than a bank card.
—When doing ATM cash withdrawals, get large amounts so you're not making frequent ATM stops and incurring fees.
—Perkins said he typically uses a Bank of America debit card, which charges no fees for ATM withdrawals at its partner banks in France (BNP Paribus), Germany (Deutsche Bank), Canada (Scotiabank), China (China Construction Bank), Mexico (Banco Santander), Italy (BNL d'Italia) or Britain (Barclays).
In general, Perkins recommends using a debit card to make cash withdrawals (because of lower fees compared with most credit cards). For large purchases, like hotel stays, car rentals, shopping, etc., he says, use your credit card.
And Perkins noted: At all costs, avoid going to a currency exchange office or airport kiosk, which typically charge high currency conversion fees.
CHIP OR NO CHIP? If your credit card has been around a while, it's probably not imbedded with a microchip, a security feature that makes it harder for cyberthieves to steal your credit card info. These so-called microchipped cards are standard in Europe, but many Americans don't yet have one (although they're becoming mandatory by October 2015).
In most cases overseas, "a standard old American (magnetic-) striped card will work most of the time, in most places," said Perkins, who uses both chipped and non-chipped cards and rarely encounters a problem. He said certain situations, such as trying to use a self-service gas station or ticket kiosk, may cause a card to be rejected.
Overall, "If your bank offers the option of getting a chipped card, I recommend it because it decreases the chances of running into a problem."
PAY BILLS IN ADVANCE: Don't forget to pay off credit card bills before leaving, so you don't come home to unanticipated late fees or other penalties. Especially if you'll be gone for an extended period, you can pay your monthly bill ahead of time or set up an online automatic payment.
CHECK YOUR LIMITS: If you'll be charging lots on your trip, be sure you've got enough available credit on your card. Let's say your card has a $1,000 limit and you exceed that while renting scuba gear: Your card transaction could be denied or you could get hit with penalties on your next bill.

text: This plugin gets five stars for two reasons. 1) The plugin works wonderfully. It's simple enough for a regular person (like me) to set up, but there's also a lot of customization available. 2) The customer service is great! It was a huge relief to have someone respond to me the same day on their google group. They helped me work through a question I had within hours. Very happy!

Two of the SEC's top shooters face off Wednesday when streaking Mississippi travels to struggling Tennessee. Marshall Henderson is his hitting his grove as the Rebels have won four in a row to move into a second-place tie with Kentucky while Tennessee's Jordan McRae looks to bounce back from a 1-of-15 performance in a loss to first-place Florida that dropped the Volunteers into the middle of the pack. Coaches on both sides talked about trying to stop the opposing big-time scorer during their weekly press conferences.
Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said McRae "is probably as explosive a scorer from the wing as there is in our league" and Volunteers coach Cuonzo Martin said Henderson "is a threat at all times, whenever he touches the ball." Both shooters have a strong supporting cast, including Henderson's backcourt mate Jarvis Summers, who is shooting over 50 percent from the floor. The frontcourt duo of Jarnell Stokes and Jeronne Maymon has helped Tennessee dominate the boards in league play.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, SEC TV, ESPN3
ABOUT MISSISSIPPI (14-5, 5-1 SEC): Henderson averages 18.7 points and is third in the country with 4.19 made 3-pointers per game, and Summers adds 18 points per game while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor and 55 percent from deep. Forward Aaron Jones adds seven points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game as the Rebels lead the league with 7.1 blocks. Freshman forward Sebastian Saiz has three 11-rebound performances in his last nine games and is averaging 6.1 points and 7.8 boards in that span.
ABOUT TENNESSEE (12-7, 3-3): McRae's average fell to 18.5 points after that five-point performance in a 67-41 loss at Florida, and the senior leads the team with 51 assists and 19 blocks. Stokes (13.6 points, 9.7 rebounds) and Maymon (11.1 points, 8.3 rebounds) have helped Tennessee to a plus-10 rebounding margin in league play. The Volunteers are averaging 73 points but have been held to an average of 54.3 points in their three league losses.
1. Henderson, who has attempted at least 10 3-pointers in all four of his SEC games, has hit a trey in 52 straight games, the third-longest streak in SEC history behind Arkansas' Pat Bradley (60) and Vanderbilt's John Jenkins (59).
2. Ole Miss is 12-3 when committing 15 or fewer turnovers while Tennessee is ranked last in the SEC with a minus-5.3 turnover margin in conference games.
3. Stokes (13 points, 10.8 rebounds) is one of four players from a major conference averaging a double-double in league play (with Kentucky's Julius Randle, California's Richard Solomon and Oklahoma's Ryan Spangler).
PREDICTION: Mississippi 70, Tennessee 60

I have been playing with Geo Mashup for a while and am a big fan of this plugin. I am not much of a programmer and have come across the following problem today trying to use the 'Earth plugin' or google earth plugin on my website.
Google earth plugin was not woking under 'google v3', site only displayed 'maps' but not 'earth plugin'.
Set settings to 'google v2' which enabled the 'earth plugin' and google earth was displayed on the website including all markers etc.
In the wordpress admin section I got a message telling me I need to get a 'Google API Key', but the site was working fine.
I returned to my website approx. 1 hour later but logged in from a different location (home network now, used University network before). The front end website does not load the map anymore but instead comes up with a window that prompts me to get a new Google API.
Set up google API account, activated Google v2 and Google v3 under Services in the API account. Obtained an API key and copy and pasted the key under the Setting > Geomashup > API Key in wordpress. I followed the instruction regarding the URL excluding 'www.' even tried including 'www.', used the same URL that I used under WordPress > Setting > General. I then tried using a different API Key and set up a 'new browser' API ..
nothing worked!!
Strange thing is that it worked first without entering the API Key but then stopped. Then after getting an API key it stopped working all together.
I can still use Geo Mashup under 'google v3' but it doesn't give me the Google 'Earth Plugin' option that I am after.
Any ideas on how to get Google 'Earth Plugin' working under 'google v3' or how to get my API Key working? My understanding is that 'google v2' will be discontinued in May 2013 so maybe 'google v3'?
Hope this all makes sense.
P.S.: Otherwise awesome plugin :)

We say a special Beracha Achronah on the seven species that Eretz Yisroel is praised in the Possuk Eretz Zeis Shemen etc. My question is, since Eretz Yisroel is also praised with milk (albeit in other Pesukkim) as the Possuk says Eretz Zovas Cholov Udevash, why is there no special Beracha Achronah for milk?

On wine, grains and fruit one can be "Kove`a SeUda" meaning on can make a filling meal out of it or when someone comes to visit that is what is served. Milk is not in that catagory.
There is an opinion that the milk mentioned is white wine. http://www.ou.org/torah/article/tzarich_iyun_milk_and_honey

Civil War - U.S.
The Civil War 150 exhibition planners recommend these titles for possible book group discussions. Books whose titles are linked may be found in the Central Rappahannock Regional Library. Please click on the title to begin the reserve process. Other books may be available through our interlibrary loan service.
Causes behind the Civil War:
On Tuesday, September 18, in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Antietam--the single bloodiest day of battle on American soil, PBS' American Experience will premiere a new NEH-funded documentary, Death and the Civil War, by six-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ric Burns.
Based on the book This Republic of Suffering by historian Drew Gilpin Faust, President of Harvard University and the National Endowment for the Humanities' 2011 Jefferson Lecturer, the documentary examines how the unprecedented death toll and carnage of the war challenged American cultural attitudes about death and fundamentally transformed federal government policies towards soldiers.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tony Horwitz will lecture on his new book, Midnight Rising, on Sunday, Sept. 23, at 2 p.m. at the Culpeper County Library.
The opening months of the Civil War had a certain boldness and cachet to them. Young men in particular signed up in droves. Picnickers came down from D.C. to take a gander at the First Battle of Manassas, discovering all too quickly that war is no theatrical entertainment. However, four years later when the South was playing an end-game, the damage to not just its army but also to its civilians was clearly a factor in its surrender. In 1863, there had been bread riots in Richmond. In 1864, the Shenandoah Valley's crops and businesses had been burned by Union General Sheridan who was advised by his commander Grant to "Give the enemy no rest ... Do all the damage to railroads and crops you can."
And so it was. The civilians and soldiers alike were hit with shortages, and the last year of the war was a particularly brutal time. In William C. Davis' and James I. Robertson, Jr.'s Virginia at War: 1865, the editors include eight essays by modern scholars and a diary from a Virginia woman, the wife of a minister, who observed that last year from her refugee quarters in Richmond where she served as a nurse and a clerk.
The University of Mary Washington's 2012 Chappell Great Lives Lecture Series concludes on Thursday, April 26, with a lecture on lives of Civil War soldiers by James Robertson, author of The Untold Civil War: Exploring the Human Side of War.
Professor Robertson spoke previously as part of the Chappell Great Lives Lecture Series on Stonewall Jackson. He returns to UMW to discuss the daily lives of the Civil War soldiers. That topic is treated in the latest of his numerous books, The Untold Civil War, which is a visually striking collection of the 132 episodes of his popular public radio "Civil War Series" stories, illustrated with 475 rare images of battle scenes, artifacts, and people. Having retired recently from the history faculty at Virginia Tech, he achieved iconic stature as a Civil War scholar, going back to his appointment as executive director of the U.S. Civil War Centennial Commission, working with Presidents Kennedy and Johnson in marking the war's 100th anniversary. The recipient of every major award given in the Civil War field— and a mesmerizing lecturer of national acclaim — Bud Robertson is probably more in demand as a speaker before Civil War groups than anyone else in the field.
All lectures in the university's Great Lives series are free and open to the public.
For more about the life of a Civil War soldier check out these resources from the Central Rappahannock Regional Library.
The University of Mary Washington's 2012 Chappell Great Lives Lecture Series continues on Tuesday, April 3, with a lecture on J.E.B. Stuart by Emory Thomas, author of Bold Dragoon: The Life of J.E.B. Stuart.
James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart was the most famous Confederate cavalryman of the Civil War — and one of its most dashing figures. Born in Virginia and educated at West Point, he was a trusted associate of Robert E. Lee, leading the Army of Northern Virginia's cavalry in important battles including Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and the Wilderness – as well as Gettysburg, where his actions proved controversial. His death in Richmond in spring 1864 marked the decline of the superiority of the Confederate horse during the war. Emory M. Thomas is Regents Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Georgia, a long-time member of the history department faculty, and the author of eight books, including authoritative biographies of Lee and Stuart.
All lectures in the university's Great Lives series are free and open to the public.
For more about the life of J.E.B. Stuart check out these resources from the Central Rappahannock Regional Library.
When one thinks about the U.S. Civil War, or the War Between the States, one does not come up with images of food and recipes. Rather, it is the exact opposite: we think about hunger and even starvation. But the truth is, some of the most creative recipes are invented at times when the basic food elements are scarce.
Virginia's many rivers were strategic points in the Civil War. Thousands of men had to cross them at a time, whether by boat or pontoon bridge, or, in shallower places, on foot. Major rivers slowed down--or, in the case of flood, could block movement entirely. Generals placed their supply depots on rivers, and gunboats patrolled the waters, blasting artillery positions as well as enemy strongholds in large plantation houses.
In Mark Nesbitt's Rebel Rivers, readers are treated to an easy-to-follow guide to river sites and their Civil War history. Rebel Rivers, published by Stackpole Books, is available to check out from the library. The author is also the creator of the Ghosts of Gettysburg Candlelight Walking Tours® and the Ghosts of Fredericksburg Tours.
This excerpt is used with the author/copyright holder's permission.
One hundred and fifty years ago, life was turned upside-down for residents in our communities. Stafford County was occupied by Union troops. Fredericksburg changed hands many times between Union and Confederate and was the scene of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. Spotsylvania County had the battles of Spotsylvania Courthouse, the Wilderness, and Chancellorsville. Thousands of men encamped and fought here. Many died here. Our state—even just our own area--has some of the most fought-over ground in the country.
Present-day Christmas conjures memories of snow, lighted trees, cinnamon, gifts, parties, and music. If we lived during the Civil War, what kinds of memories would we have? Would they be of family, food, warmth, and parties, or would they be of just trying to survive and stave off hunger? Would there be presents under the tree, or would we be happy just to be present with our loved ones. To learn a bit more about Christmas during the years 1861-1864, explore the items in the library and the Web sites listed below.

Oh Elane, I hope all goes well with Mason's early arrival for both Mom and Baby! I can't imagine how tiny your jacket turned out using sock yarn it must be the cutest thing ever!
Just Darling! Love your colors and of course the buttons are the best!! Great Job!!!!Never attempted anything of Elizabeth Zimmerman. Always alittle bit intimidated?! Sue
Thanks Sue. I love those acorn buttons. I had them in my stash but I only had 2! There was much discussion and debate with my husband and kids about if I should use them and how. I knew they were going on the sweater just not how I was going to pull it off. :-)
Thanks Sue! I had the acorn buttons in my stash but I only had 2. I knew I was going to use them but I wasn't sure how I was going to pull it off! :-) A trip to Jo Ann's solved it when I found the simple "all purpose" buttons in the perfect color. BTW you should give the pattern a try... once I got my brain cells functioning on Elizabeth Zimmerman's wave length, it was a pretty easy project! :-)
OOPS! I guess my first reply posted... I thought I lost it. I can't figure out how to delete it either. Oh well. :-S
I'm debating weather to make this one of my to do projects! I was inspired by your beautiful sweater and think I'll give it a whirl.
Oh do give it a whirl. I think you'll be glad if you do! I'm going to make one in an adult size next.
Just got this pattern. What tweed yarn did you use? Loved your colors!
