Hilarious and high-spirited aptly described one of Hollywood's more endearing starlets, Eliza Coupe. The blonde-haired beauty first gained widespread notoriety for her portrayal of the mega-driven Denise "Jo" Mahoney on the hit medical comedy series "Scrubs" (ABC, 2001-2010). The actress-comedienne continued to pop up on the silver screen and on numerous popular television shows, including the film "I Think I Love My Wife" (2007), the HBO series "12 Miles of Bad Road" (2008) and the movie "Somewhere" (2010). It was her next project that put her on the map. Coupe and her fellow cast mates from the hit comedy series "Happy Endings" (ABC, 2011- ) created a huge buzz with audiences and critics following the show's 2011 premiere. As Jane Williams, Coupe played one of the close friends and a wife on this updated version of the popular comedy series, "Friends" (NBC, 1994-2004). Although über-motivated Jane's happy ending involved having two high-brow children who grow up to become world leaders. It was harder to determine what Coupe's own happy ending would be, but based on her comedic skills and track record as a dependable, engaging ensemble player, Coupe's future in Hollywood seemed limitless.

A message we could dance to

Can James Brown really be gone? After all, no one could stage a false exit better than the Godfather of Soul.
He'd be singing "Please, Please, Please" down on one knee, his face gleaming with sweat, after two hours of sweet, pulse-pounding soul stirrings. Then his dapper assistant would appear and drape a bright satin cape over Brown's shoulders and Soul Brother No. 1 would slowly stand up, turn around and step rhythmically offstage as the backup singers moaned, "Please, please don't go-oh-oh ... " and ... the ... crowd ... would ... go ... wild!!!
And Brown would stop, shake off the cape and dance back to center stage for an encore! And another! And another!
It was pure cornball show biz, but we, the James Brown baby boomers, loved it because Brown did it with so much, ah, yes, soul!
Brown died on Christmas Day of heart failure in Atlanta after a lifetime of gifts to our musical and political culture.
His hit 1962 "Live at the Apollo" album set the mood of countless "blue light" parties in our parents' basements. His eye-defying, quick shuffling, rubber-legged dance moves were widely imitated but never quite duplicated.
Ever wonder where the Rev. Al Sharpton found his exotic hairstyles? Blame Brown. J.B. befriended Sharpton, then a prodigious teen preacher who became Brown's road manager in the 1970s. When Sharpton married show business and civil rights activism, he learned from the master.
Ever wonder why Mick Jagger started dancing like a madman on stage? Blame Brown again. As a singer, Jagger was a remarkably calm-looking chap until the Rolling Stones were booked to follow Brown in the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1965. Brown whipped up those California kids to such a frenzy that a nervous young Jagger decided to explode onto the stage with a manic chicken-walk herky-jerk that he's been dancing ever since.
After surviving the Motown wave and the British invasion, Brown jumped ahead of the 1960s political curve with an anthem for a new socio-political consciousness: "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud." No one did more to drive nails into the coffins of "colored" and "Negro" as acceptable labels.
Looking back, it is easier to appreciate the message Brown was trying to deliver. "Black power" rose in 1966 in the wake of the civil rights movement as a slogan in desperate search of a program. Brown, a seventh-grade dropout, suddenly became the least academic, yet most influential voice to give at least a little intellectual meat to the new movement.
I prefer a lesser-known Brown anthem with a mouthful of a title that says it all: "I Don't Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing (Open Up the Door, I'll Get It Myself)."
Its message offers an important response to the many people who were asking in the midst of urban riots and a rising "black power" movement in the late 1960s, "What do black people want?"
Brown's answer appears to be, "We want equal opportunity, not guaranteed results." If so, it should come as no surprise that he endorsed President Richard Nixon's re-election in 1972. After all, it was Nixon, not John Kennedy or Lyndon Johnson, who actually signed the first affirmative action executive order into law. In those days, even a Republican president like Nixon could safely say that affirmative action was only an open door, not a "quota" that guaranteed results.
As an impressionable student, I was changed forever by Brown's recounting in an interview in the late 1960s his own struggles against childhood poverty. "I used to shine shoes on the front steps of an Augusta, Ga., radio station," he said. "Now I own that radio station." So could we all, he was telling our generation, if we took full advantage of the doors that were opening to us.
Unfortunately, Brown took great advantage of those open doors only to lead a life of maddening swings between wealth and ruin, artistic genius and and drug abuse. Yet, he kept coming back for more encores.
The curtain has come down on his turbulent life. Fortunately we still have his music, his memories and his messages. They'll be taking encores for many years to come.

Back in February, the Red Sox official website opened up fan voting for an "All-Fenway" team to celebrate the park's 100 years. The first wave of voting was for lefty and righty starting pitchers, and nine of each handedness were put up to vote. While you can still vote for those pitchers (cough, Lefty Grove and Pedro Martinez), voting for first baseand catcher are now open as well.
Like we did with pitchers, let's take a look at the candidates and their qualifications so we can sort this whole thing out. Given the unreliable defensive data of the past, we'll be looking at hitting primarily. Though, with the best at each of these positions over the last 100 years, defense is somewhat secondary anyway given the bats involved.
Catcher | Years Played | PA | OPS+ |
Rick Ferrell | 1933-1937 | 2100 | 102 |
Carlton Fisk | 1969-1980 | 4353 | 126 |
Rich Gedman | 1980-1990 | 3129 | 94 |
Birdie Tebbetts | 1947-1952 | 1601 | 91 |
Jason Varitek | 1997-2011 | 5839 | 98 |
Sammy White | 1951-1959 | 3621 | 81 |
Rick Ferrell was very solid while with Boston, but wasn't here very long. Carlton Fisk has the second-longest tenure of the group, and was easily the most productive hitter during his time here -- even more impressive given how long he was in town.
Jason Varitek is the only real contender to Fisk's crown, but he's brought down by the fact he played with Boston from his slow start to his diminished finish, and not just his best years. Fisk finished up the start to a Hall of Fame career by heading to the White Sox for another 13 years (109 OPS+). Okay, so "contender" might have been a strong word, given Fisk is one of the best catcher's ever, whereas Varitek is "just" one of Boston's best.
This is an easy choice if you base your decision on who The Best catcher in Red Sox history was, and not just the best catcher of your own era. Varitek is easily the #2 here, and there's no shame in being lined up right after a Hall of Fame backstop.
First Base | Years Played | PA | OPS+ |
Bill Buckner | 1984-1987, 1990 | 2224 | 94 |
Jimmie Foxx | 1936-1942 | 3935 | 156 |
Stuffy McInnis | 1918-1921 | 2240 | 90 |
George Scott | 1966-1971, 77-79 | 4740 | 103 |
Mo Vaughn | 1991-1998 | 4452 | 140 |
Kevin Youkilis | 2004-2011 | 3809 | 127 |
Making this table, it hit me that the Red Sox have not been especially blessed at first base over the years. (Since we aren't counting part-time first basemen, like Yaz, Jim Rice, etc., anyway.) Jimmie Foxx was (obviously) amazing -- and was even better while with the Philadelphia Athletics (an 11-year line of .339/.440/.640 with a 179 OPS+) -- but he also happened a long time before most, if not all of us, were around. It's been somewhat quiet since then, except for the occasional noise at first.
Mo Vaughn was great when he was with the Red Sox, taking home an MVP in 1995 and earning himself a lucrative deal with the Angels once he hit free agency. (although Albert Belle would like a word on that subject). Kevin Youkilis is arguably the second-best first baseman the organization has had over the long-term, but he's also spent time at third base, too. He's kind of a wild card here, in that regard.
Maybe it's hard to appreciate Foxx (or maybe even Fisk) the way we all should since we didn't see him, but if it were possible to get these guys together for a game when they were in their respective peaks, you could do a whole lot worse than these two Hall of Famers. Foxx is pretty much Albert Pujols for hipsters, and Fisk caught games in four different decades.

You can assign a pen width to the lines of a hatch?
Solved! Go to Solution.
When you create or modify a filled region (hatch) - you can control the pen. I have an image attached for reference.
you know - that is a really good question - I did some looking and I am not finding anything specific to control it..
What I did find - under VV or VG you can control the pattern but not the pen weight. Image attached
but on others you can control the pen weight. image attached.
I looked under the object styles and was not able to find anythng there that corresponds to the patterns or lines.
So very interesting question - maybe someone else has some ideas!

According to an August 2012 study conducted by ReffferralCandy, in the US there are 102,728 ecommerce retailers that generate $12,000 or more in revenue.
Given the ever increasing consumer migration to the digital marketplace, this number has likely grown even more in the last year and a half.
With such a competitive market, online retailers need to do what they can to stand out and provide incentive for consumers to shop at their store over another.
One way to do this is to gain the consumers' trust and loyalty; as part of a full strategy, effective pricing strategies can help grow this customer relationship.
Pricing strategies on the website slightly mirror those in physical stores, and they are a great way to capture potential customers throughout the phases of the sales cycle.

Ecommerce is growing and information technology is becoming more robust. As a result, some innovative pricing strategies have come into play.
Dynamic pricing is one that has been applied more broadly across a variety of industries, and its usage is growing among retailers.
Let's take a closer look at price discrimination and how it has evolved, the legality and ethical implications, and why many companies see it as an effective tactic.

Microsoft's launch of its Windows 8 later this year may be the most important product launch in the company's history. Seeking to compete in a world where the desktop is no longer king, the Redmond software giant has performed massive reconstructive surgery on its operating system in an effort to provide for a commercially-viable touch-first experience.
Change may be a necessity for Microsoft and its operating system, but change this significant rarely comes easy. Despite the fact that the company's Windows 8 effort may be its greatest in many years, there are plenty who believe the new operating system is a disaster in the making.

Los Escondidos annexation not off tableDecember 13, 2012, 10:00 pm by Adam Troxtell After approving the annexation of over 1,000 acres to the south of the city on US 281 amidst controversy from a number of local landowners, Marble Falls city officials can now turn their attention to the Los Escondidos subdivision on Lake Marble Falls to see if it can also be brought into the city limits. In the summer, both the southern US 281 corridor and Los Escondidos, which sits along Lake Marble Falls to the southeast of the bridge, were identified as areas the city was interested in annexing. City Manager Ralph Hendricks said at the end of July that instead of working on both areas at the same time, city staff would first work on bringing in the 281 corridor before working on Los Escondidos. "Its not at the forefront, but its not off the table, Hendricks said. "We put a lot of staff time into the 281 annexation and put Los Escondidos aside. Now, we can start to work more on survey results and cost estimates. For the full story, see Friday's Highlander.

So what's the big deal? The OCLC Platform gives you, a library app developer, a place to show off your mad coding skills AND help other libraries in the process. You can create something awesome using OCLC Web services and then use the Platform to share your work with other libraries and users with similar needs. This way, even libraries that aren't fortunate enough to have development resources or technical expertise can still benefit from your brainpower.
Our own Kathryn Harnish, the product manager for the Platform, will give you the lay of the land for the Platform itself. She'll be joined by three guest speakers who will show off apps developed and shared through the Platform environment:
• Andrea Schurr from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
• Al Cornish from Washington State University
• Shelly Stuard with Alibris for Libraries
We're proud to say that Andrea and Al are WorldCat Mashathon alumni, who are now expanding their use of OCLC's Web services via the Platform.

The Miele S2 Olympus is a perfect vacuum for homes with hard floors and light carpeting. Despite the attractive $299 price this vacuum has a 1200 watt Vortex motor for superior suction. Lightweight, study and with excellent filtration the Olympus is an excellent entry level Miele vacuum.
If you live in an apartment without pets, in a small home with mostly hard flooring with low smooth nap carpeting, or just moved into a new home, the Miele Olympus 2 is the ideal vacuum cleaner for you. With a small, compact design that stows away easily, it will not require much storage space, and is very much suited to homes where space is a constraint. If you are new to owning vacuums, this would be the perfect purchase at entry-level without extra features that you may not need immediately. It is upgradeable and therefore ideal for low budgets without skimping on quality and reliability. If you are looking to acquire a discounted vacuum or simply looking for vacuums that cost less, the Miele Olympus fits the bill.
Miele Olympus 2 is one of the lightest in the Miele family of vacuum cleaners. It belongs to the canister category and stands upright on its own. It can be carried from room to room, as well as upstairs and downstairs with ease. Setting up the telescopic wand is simple with Miele's Quick Connect System, which is specifically designed to help you snap the desired components in place. A benefit of having a canister vacuum is that you have more control over the wand and not have to lug the motor with every sweep. This allows you more flexibility in vacuuming underneath low furniture like coffee tables and nightstands, without the need to move furniture.
The following are key features of this Miele vacuum:
Instead of buying a discounted Olympus vacuum, consider this model which is priced affordably. You will be backed by the same Witbeck Vacuums warranty on top of the Limited Miele Warranty where shipping charges are waived both ways. You are purchasing from an Authorized Miele Diamond Dealer which has been in the business of selling vacuums since 1917.
Our recommendation: Ideal for homes comprised mostly of hard floors and area rugs.

When it comes to jobs that kids covet, zookeeper is usually near the top of the list. After all, who wouldn't want to spend the day hanging with hippos or chatting with chimps?

You might want to start saving now for Vet School. $24, $20 members. 1-3 p.m. Feb. 11. Lincoln Park Zoo, 2200 N. Cannon Drive, Chicago. (312) 742-2000, lpzoo.org.

Yosemite in the winter is simply beautiful. Many people come here to camp and hike during the warmer weather months, but there is something magical about this grand national park in the colder months.
Snowy meadows, frozen peaks and the quiet can be incredibly conducive to romance or just a great way to recharge your batteries. Whatever you decide, there are many ways to enjoy the Yosemite Valley.
Our stay at The Ahwahnee in January was overall so relaxing and a wonderful time. We had thought about waiting until February and enjoying a Valentine's escape to Napa, but decided instead to experience Yosemite in snow.
The Ahwahnee Hotel is a splurge compared to other lodging options in or near the park, but worth it if you can swing it. The architecture and magnificent façade are amazing to see, especially for the first time. There is a grandeur about this stately hotel. No wonder presidents and royalty have stayed here.
Did you know that The Ahwahnee was specifically designed to highlight its natural surroundings, which feature Yosemite Falls, Half Dome and Glacier Point? This beautiful hotel has the warmth of a mountain ski lodge but on a grander scale. The interior rooms have Native American motifs and accents with natural wood furnishings.
This AAA Four Diamond hotel has 123 handsomely appointed guest rooms, including 99 hotel rooms, parlors and suites and 24 cottages. We stayed in the main building in a guest room and found that we ate most of our meals in the grand dining room.
With the chilly air and icy roads, I quite enjoyed staying indoors and staring out the enormous windows at the fabulous views, with a warm drink and book. However Badger Pass is not too far if you prefer to go skiing and the hotel can help with arrangements.
Other types of lodging around Yosemite National Park are available during the winter and summer months but you will need to check ahead of time to see what roads are open, besides availability – I suggest you check directly with Yosemite National Park. Booking directly with the park may also save you money or get you one of their seasonal packages or other sweet bargains.
Discover your inner Ansel Adams and no matter when you go or where you stay, don't forget to take your camera!!

Hampton University is a historically black university located in Hampton, Virginia, United States. It was founded in 1868 by black and white leaders of the American Missionary Association after the American Civil War to provide education to freedmen. In 1878 it established a program for teaching Native Americans which lasted until 1923.
The campus looking south across the harbor of Hampton Roads was founded on the grounds of "Little Scotland", a former plantation in Elizabeth City County not far from Fortress Monroe and the Grand Contraband Camp that gathered nearby. These facilities represented freedom to former slaves, who sought refuge with Union forces in the first year of the war.
The American Missionary Association (AMA) responded in 1861 to the former slaves' need for education by hiring its first mulatto teacher, Mary Smith Peake, who had secretly been teaching slaves and free blacks in the area despite the state's prohibition in law. She first taught for the AMA on September 17, 1861 and was said to gather her pupils under a large oak. After it was the site in 1863 of the first reading in the South of the Emancipation Proclamation, it was called the Emancipation Oak. The tree, a symbol of the university and the city, is part of the National Historic Landmark District at Hampton University.
The Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School, later called the Hampton Institute, was founded in 1868 after the war by the biracial leadership of the AMA, who were chiefly Congregational and Presbyterian ministers. It was first led by former Union General Samuel Chapman Armstrong.[2] Among the school's famous alumni is Dr. Booker T. Washington, who became an educator and later founded Tuskegee Institute, another college supported by the AMA. The President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was read to local freedmen under the same historic tree, which is still located on the campus today. It serves as a symbol for the modern city of Hampton.
Civil War[edit]
During the American Civil War (1861–1865), Union-held Fortress Monroe in southeastern Virginia at the mouth of Hampton Roads became a gathering point and safe haven of sorts for fugitive slaves. The commander, General Benjamin F. Butler, determined they were "contraband of War, to protect them from being returned to slaveholders, who clamored to reclaim them. As numerous individuals sought freedom behind Union lines, the Army arranged the construction of the Grand Contraband Camp nearby from materials reclaimed from the ruins of Hampton, which had been burned by retreating Confederates. This area was later called "Slabtown."
Hampton University can trace its roots to the work of Mary S. Peake, which began in 1861 with outdoor classes which she taught under the landmark Emancipation Oak in the nearby area of Elizabeth City County. The newly issued Emancipation Proclamation was first read to a gathering under the historic tree there in 1863.
After the War: teaching teachers[edit]
After the War, a normal school ("normal" meaning to establish standards or norms while educating teachers) was formalized in 1868, with former Union brevet Brigadier General Samuel Chapman Armstrong (1839–1893) as its first principal. The new school was established on the grounds of a former plantation named "Little Scotland", which had a view of Hampton Roads. The original school buildings fronted the Hampton River. Legally chartered in 1870 as a land grant school,it was first known as "Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute."
Typical of historically black colleges, Hampton received much of its financial support in the years following the Civil War from the American Missionary Association (whose black and white leaders represented the Congregational and Presbyterian churches), other church groups and former officers and soldiers of the Union Army. One of the many Civil War veterans who gave substantial sums to the school was General William Jackson Palmer, a Union cavalry commander from Philadelphia. He later built the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, and founded Colorado Springs, Colorado. As the Civil War began in 1861, although his Quaker upbringing made Palmer abhor violence, his passion to see the slaves freed compelled him to enter the war. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for bravery in 1894. (The current Palmer Hall on the campus is named in his honor.)
Unlike the wealthy Palmer, Sam Armstrong was the son of a missionary to the Sandwich Islands (which later became the U.S. state of Hawaii). He also had dreams for the betterment of the freedmen. He patterned his new school after the model of his father, who had overseen the teaching of reading, writing and arithmetic to the Polynesians. He wanted to teach the skills necessary for blacks to be self-supporting in the impoverished South. Under his guidance, a Hampton-style education became well known as an education that combined cultural uplift with moral and manual training. Armstrong said it was an education that encompassed "the head, the heart, and the hands."
At the close of its first decade, the school reported a total admission in the ten years of 927 students, with 277 graduates, all but 17 of whom had become teachers. Many of them had bought land and established themselves in homes; many were farming as well as teaching; some had gone into business. Only a very small proportion failed to do well. By another 10 years, there had been over 600 graduates. In 1888, of the 537 still alive, three-fourths were teaching, and about half as many undergraduates were also teaching. It was estimated that 15,000 children in community schools were being taught by Hampton's students and alumni that year.[3]
Booker T. Washington: spreading the educational work[edit]
Among Hampton's earliest students was Booker T. Washington, who arrived from West Virginia in 1872 at the age of 16. He worked his way through Hampton, and then went on to attend Wayland Seminary in Washington D.C. After graduation, he returned to Hampton and became a teacher. Upon recommendation of Sam Armstrong to founder Lewis Adams and others, in 1881, Washington was sent to Alabama at age 25 to head another new normal school. This new Institution eventually became Tuskegee University. Embracing much of Armstrong's philosophy, Washington built Tuskegee into a substantial school and became nationally famous as an educator, orator, and fund-raiser as well. He collaborated with the philanthropist Julius Rosenwald in the early 20th century to create a model for rural black schools - Rosenwald established a fund that matched monies raised by communities to build more than 5,000 schools for rural black children, mostly in the South
Native Americans[edit]
This section requires expansion. (June 2013) |
In 1878, Hampton established a formal education program for Native Americans. In 1875 at the end of the American Indian Wars, the United States Army sent seventy-two warriors from the Cheyenne, Kiowa, Comanche and Caddo Nations, to imprisonment and exile in St. Augustine, Florida. Essentially they were considered hostages to persuade their peoples in the West to keep peace. Richard Henry Pratt supervised them at Fort Marion and began to arrange for their education in the English language and American culture. Numerous visitors to St. Augustine from the North became interested in their cases and volunteered as teachers. They also provided them with art supplies, and some of the resulting works (including by David Pendleton Oakerhater) are held by the Smithsonian Institution. At the end of the warriors' incarceration, Pratt convinced seventeen to enroll at Hampton Institute for a fuller education.[4] (Later Pratt founded the Carlisle Indian Industrial School based on the same philosophy of education and assimilation). Altogether, seventy Native Americans, young men and women from various tribes, mostly from the Plains rather than the acculturated tribes that had occupied Virginia, joined that first class. Because Virginia's aristocrats sometimes boasted of their Native American heritage through Pocohontas, it was hoped that the Native American students would help locals to accept the university's black students. The black students were also supposed to "civilize" the Native American students to current American society, and the Native Americans to "uplift the Negro[es]."[5][6]
The program died in 1923, in the face of growing controversy over racial mingling. Native Americans stopped sending their boys to the school after some employers fired Native American men because they had been educated with blacks. The program's final director resigned because she could not prevent "amalgamation" between the Native American girls and black boys.[6]
Name changes, expansion, community[edit]
Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute became simply Hampton Institute in 1930. With the addition of departments and graduate programs, it was accredited as Hampton University in 1984.[7] Originally located in Elizabeth City County, it was long-located in the Town of Phoebus, incorporated in 1900. Phoebus and Elizabeth City County were consolidated with the neighboring City of Hampton to form a much larger independent city in 1952. The City of Hampton uses the Emancipation Oak on its official seal. From 1960 to 1970, noted diplomat and educator Jerome H. Holland was president of the Hampton Institute.
The school is informally called simply "Hampton" or "HU" by many students, faculty and supporters. Hampton University and Howard University constantly claim the title, "The Real HU". Both schools enjoy the friendly rivalry.
The campus contains several buildings that contribute to its National Historic Landmark district: Virginia-Cleveland Hall (freshman female dormitory, as well as home to the school's two cafeterias), Wigwam building (home to administrative offices), Academy Building (administrative offices), Memorial Chapel (religious services) and the President's Mansion House.[8][9]
The original High School on the campus became Phenix Hall when Hampton City Public Schools opened a new Phenix High School in 1959. Phenix Hall was damaged in a minor fire on June 12, 2008.[10]
The Emancipation Oak was cited by the National Geographic Society as one of the 10 great trees in the world.

Student activities[edit]
Hampton's colors are blue and white, and their nickname is "The Pirates". Hampton sports teams participate in NCAA Division I (FCS for football) in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in which they joined in 1995 upon leaving the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association, an NCAA Division II conference, of which they were a founding member. Since joining, Hampton has won MEAC titles in many sports, including football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's track, and men's and women's tennis.
In 2001, the Hampton basketball team won its first NCAA Tournament game, when they beat Iowa State 58–57, in one of the largest upsets of all time. There were only the fourth Fifteen-Seed to upset a Two-Seed in the tournament's history. They returned to the tournament a year later, as well as in 2006 and 2011, having won their conference basketball tournament.
The "Lady Pirates" basketball team has seen great success as well, and made trips to the NCAA tournament in 2000, 2003, 2004, 2010, 2011, and 2012. In 1988, as a Division II school, the Lady Pirates won the NCAA Women's Division II Basketball Championship, defeating West Texas State. In 2011, as a number-13 seed, the Lady Pirates nearly upset Kentucky, but fell in overtime, 66-62.
The Pirates won their conference title in football in 1997, shared the title 1998 and 2004, and won it again out right in 2005, 2006. From 2004 to 2006, the team won 3 MEAC Championships, 3 SBN-Black College National Championships, and was ranked in the Division I FCS top 25 poll each year. The Pirates also sent five players to the NFL Combine in 2007, the most out of any FCS subdivision school for that year. They have also been dominant in tennis winning the MEAC from 1996–1999, 2001-2003 & 2007 for the men and 1998, 2002-2004 for the women.
Rivals include Norfolk State University, located across Hampton Roads in downtown Norfolk, and Howard University in Washington, D.C.
Pirate athletics are supported by a plethora of groups, including "The Force" Marching Band. The marching band has appeared at several notable performances, including the Barack Obama Presidential Inauguration parade (Washington, DC). "The Force" was chosen out of a large pool of applicants to participate in the parade as the representative for the state of Virginia.

First Auction Includes Cars, Trucks, Heavy Equipment and Computers.Mayor-President Melvin "Kip" Holden announced today that the City-Parish has contracted with an online government auction site http://www.municibid.com to auction off surplus and police-seized items. Holden said the use of an on-line auction will provide greater exposure of the surplus items to a broader audience, and ultimately result in greater benefits and cost savings to the City-Parish and taxpayers. The Mayor also said online auctions are widely recognized as a "best practice" approach to inventory management for local governments.Municibid was chosen because it is designed for local and state government entities. The move will increase non-tax revenue by enabling the City-Parish to more effectively sell surplus items by using municibid's online government auction platform. Unlike other auction services, municibid does not charge commission on sales.The first round of auction is scheduled to begin on April 20, 2012 and end on May 4, 2012. Items up for auction include cars, trucks, heavy equipment, lawn equipment and computer equipment. Bidding is open to the public.For more information, go to www.brgov.com/dept/purchase/auction

Better effort can't save Rebels in loss
The effort was there Saturday for the Ole Miss Rebels compared to their Week 3 performance against Vanderbilt. Unfortunately for them and coach Houston Nutt, the results of that improved effort weren't enough to produce a win.
Ole Miss fell to 0-2 in the Southeastern Conference thanks to a 27-13 setback at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs. What the crowd of 58,042 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, and a regional audience watching on the SEC Network, saw was a young Ole Miss team show more fight than it did against the Commodores, but come up short on the scoreboard because of the same miscues that have haunted them all year.

#include <db_cxx.h> int DbEnv::repmgr_start(int nthreads, u_int32_t flags);
The DbEnv::repmgr_start()
method starts the Replication Manager.
There are two ways to build Berkeley DB replication applications: the most common approach is to use the Berkeley DB library Replication Manager, where the Berkeley DB library manages the replication group, including network transport, all replication message processing and acknowledgment, and group elections. Applications using the Replication Manager generally make the following calls:
Use DbEnv::repmgr_site() to obtain a DbSite handle, then use that handle to configure the sites in your replication group.
Use DbSite::set_config() to configure sites in your replication group.
Use DbSite::remove() to remove a site from the replication group.
Call DbEnv::repmgr_set_ack_policy() to configure the message acknowledgment policy which best supports the replication group's transactional needs.
Call DbEnv::rep_set_priority() to configure the local site's election priority.
Call DbEnv::repmgr_start()
to start the replication application.
For more information on building Replication Manager applications, please see the Replication Getting Started Guide included in the Berkeley DB documentation.
Applications with special needs (for example, applications using network protocols not supported by the Berkeley DB Replication Manager), must perform additional configuration and call other Berkeley DB replication Base API methods. For more information on building Base API applications, please see the Base API Methods section in the Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide.
Starting the Replication Manager consists of opening the TCP/IP listening socket to accept
incoming connections, and starting all necessary background threads. When multiple processes
share a database environment, only one process can open the listening socket; the
method automatically opens the socket in the
first process to call it, and skips this step in the later calls from other processes.
The DbEnv::repmgr_start()
may not be called before the DbEnv::open() method is
called to open. In addition, this method may not be called before
your replication sites have been configured using the
DbSite class.
In addition, the local environment must be opened with the
flag set.
The DbEnv::repmgr_start()
method will return
as an informational, non-error return code, if another process has previously become the
TCP/IP listener (though the current call has nevertheless successfully started Replication
Manager's background threads). Unless otherwise specified, the
method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an
exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
Specify the number of threads of control created and dedicated to processing replication messages. In addition to these message processing threads, the Replication Manager creates and manages a few of its own threads of control.
