i do use the phone in English interface. but to navigate in the Middle East is very hard because the spelling of the names of the street is so different. So better to navigate in Arabic. when i switched the phone to Arabic the maps switch too. but i wish if there is anyway to keep the phone in English and the map in Arabic ..... any ideas ??!!!

If you are referring to the displayed names, then no - this is determined by the phone language settings, but if you are referring to voice guidance then it's as easy as pie - the Maps voice guidance language is not linked to the UI language, you can download voice files to the phone using either Map Loader or Ovi Suite, then you just need to go in Maps to Options>Tools>Settings>Navigation>Voice guidance and select Arabic.
It is also possible to download the voice files directly to the phone, though the download is likely to be several megabites so beware if you are using a chargeable connection. Simply make sure that Maps is online (Options>Tools>Go online) then select the Arabic language as I guided above and it will ask you to confirm that you want to download the voice files and then do it.
The very latest Maps version, 3.03, also includes a new feature to read out the street names, so instead of just "In 100 metres turn right", it would say "In 100 metres, turn right into High Street"; but unfortunatelty this new feature is only so far available in a small number of languages and Arabic is not yet one of those.

Hi, I have a question that I've been searching the answer for long time. Take this example, I'm driving across borders that speak different languages, I have downloaded maps for both countires, but I can only understand one of their languages, is it possible that the voice I understand can also speak the streets names in the other county? I mean can one specified voice speak another language?
12-10-2011 15:20
Whilst the number of voice files with TTS = Text to speech is limited map data should be delivered in accordance with default language upon device so there should be minimal problems crossing from one country to another; as English is default I don't get cyrillic entries for Russia.
12-10-2011 18:30
Irrespective of the Native language of the country you are Navigating within, the Voice Guidance will be in the language that you download from (Attachment 1) and select (Attachment 2)

Men's soccer scores three unanswered goals for rain-soaked win over Upstate
Related Links
Not even a torrential downpour could stymie the JU men's soccer team as the Dolphins played through a driving first-half rain storm to post a 3-0 victory over USC Upstate on Friday night at the Ashley Sports Complex.
Senior Darko Karamatic and sophomore Trey Collins netted first-half goals for the early lead and senior Casey Tafuri added the insurance marker in the 74th minute to lift the Dolphins back to .500 overall (5-5-1) while staying undefeated in Atlantic Sun Conference play.
The Dolphins posted a 21-12 total edge in shots and have wins over Mercer and the Spartans and six out of a possible six points to start league play entering Sunday's home contest against ETSU. USC Upstate fell to 4-5-1 and 1-1-1 against the A-Sun.
"We came into this weekend with designs on getting six points, and earning this win was the first step," JU coach Mike Johnson said. "It was good to see offensive contributions from multiple players and we executed well playing on a soggy field."
The slick grass didn't slow down the Dolphins early. Karamatic took Nick Rodriguez's feed and blasted a shot inside the right post past goalkeeper Jason McCabe just 4:19 into the contest for the early lead. That marked Karamatic's first goal of the season.
McCabe would finish with seven total saves but couldn't get a hand on Collins' shot from eight yards out in the 41st minute. Collins took advantage of frantic movements inside the box following a deflection. Collins hit a low left-side shot for his second goal of 2011.
Senior Daniele Campailla assisted on the goal, giving him five points in his last two games after the forward's two-goal effort propelled JU to a 2-1 win over Mercer in the A-Sun opener on Sunday.
Tafuri's scoring strike marked the defender's first goal since Oct. 25, 2009 against ETSU.
Sophomore goalkeeper Gavin Carlin improved to 2-0 though his first two starts for JU. The netminder posted four saves. Senior Johnny Foley, who started the first nine games for the Dolphins, played the entire second half and finished with one save. The combined shutout marked the second time the Dolphins blanked an opponent, with the first shutdown effort coming in a 2-0 home win over UMass on Sept. 4.
JU will get ready to face ETSU on Sunday at 2 p.m. Fans who cannot make it out to the Ashley Sports Complex will be able to view the video stream through ASun.TV.

Master of Arts in Intercultural Ministries
The Master of Arts in Intercultural Ministries (M.A.I.M.) is a 48-hour degree designed to form leaders with a thorough understanding of God's mission for the Church and the interpersonal and intercultural communication skills essential for productive ministry in cross-cultural settings. The program helps students integrate anthropology, psychology, sociology and theology to inform the task of world evangelization and the planting and nurturing of the Church. It also trains missionaries and other cross-cultural workers for roles in theological education and the development of leaders.
For courses successfully completed as an undergraduate, a student may substitute an advanced course. See the Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree for examples.
One of the following:
This is a cross-cultural practicum. Students who choose the Islamic Studies concentration must complete their practicum in a Muslim context. This practicum requires a pre-session orientation, a post-session assessment and an approved, supervised cross-cultural involvement. The practicum will usually be completed in a two to four week time frame and should normally be scheduled during the summer recess. An exception may be granted to allow the practicum to be scheduled during the course of a regular semester.
In addition to appointing an on-field supervisor, AGTS will assign an in-house mentor to prepare the student for the practicum, and facilitate the understanding and synthesizing of the experience. The student is required to keep a daily journal of experiences. This journal will be utilized in the writing of a reflection paper which the student will present in a final debriefing session at AGTS.
The length of time required for securing AGWM approvals, communicating with a mentor, getting immunizations and visas and raising funds for Global Missions participants affects the application deadlines for intercultural practicums (see Resident Academic Calendar). Late applications will be approved or denied at the discretion of the GM Committee.
Prior to registering for the cross-cultural practicum, the student must have completed the following four courses: BTH/MHT 501, MHT 635, MCS/MHT 642 and MCS/MHT 643. For an exception, the student must petition the GM Department
M.A.I.M. Advanced Standing
Students who have earned a significant number of credits in religious studies from approved colleges
and universities may request exemption from certain required courses in the M.A.I.M. degree
program, thus granting them Advanced Standing. Life experience does not qualify for advanced
standing. (See registrar for further details.)
The following rules apply to M.A.I.M. Advanced Standing:
1. Advanced Standing cannot exceed nine credits.
2. Advanced Standing is considered for undergraduate courses with satisfactory parallel
content, provided the equivalent collegiate courses are double the credit value of the
seminary's courses. A minimum grade of B is required and the student must be able to
demonstrate competency in subject matter by presentation of an Advanced Standing
Portfolio for each course for which advanced standing is desired. A fee of $50 per course
will be charged for each portfolio that is evaluated, regardless of whether or not the
advanced standing is granted.
3. Advanced Standing must be requested prior to enrollment but no later than the end of the
student's first semester of study at AGTS. Requests should be submitted to the Registrar's
4. Partial course advanced standing will not be granted.
5. If the student later takes a course where advanced standing has been granted, the
advanced standing would be nullified.
6. Advanced Standing may be granted for a course from "Bible and Theology," a World
Christianity? course and a Missions Elective? course.
7. In an area where a student demonstrates competency but the criteria preclude Advanced
Standing, a substitute course may be allowed if approved by the faculty adviser and the
Academic Dean.
In addition to the general
requirements for graduation, the student must submit an acceptable student portfolio and pass a comprehensive examination based on competencies in key areas within the disciplines of missiology. Students who receive a grade of "unsatisfactory" may retake the examination following a 3-week study period.

Former Carolina Panther Jeff King reached an agreement Tuesday night with the Arizona Cardinals, according to reports. He will fill the role of a dependable blocking tight end that the Cardinals lacked.
A five year veteran out of Virginia Tech, King was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the fifth round of the 2006 draft. After catching just one pass his rookie year, King surprised many by breaking-out for 46 catches, 406 yards, and two touchdowns in his second NFL season. Since then the 28-year-old has played in every game for the Panthers, becoming renown for his remarkable strength and stout blocking ability.
King adds a veteran presence to the crop of Cardinals tight ends under contract, joining second-year prospect Jim Dray and expected rookie signing Rob Housler. Up to this point, Arizona has had apparent interest in free agent tight end -- and former Arizona State alum -- Todd Heap; however this newest development could curtail that option.
For more about how Jeff King will impact the Arizona Cardinals, check out Revenge of the Birds and SB Nation Arizona.

JUAN GONZALEZ: Two converted fishing boats set sail from
The boats—the Liberty and Free Gaza—left the southern port of Larnaca this morning for the estimated thirty-hour trip.
The Israeli foreign ministry said in an open letter to the participants, "We assume that your intentions are good but, in fact, the result of your action is that you are supporting the regime of a terrorist organization in
AMY GOODMAN: We are joined right now by one of the activists at sea on the boat
We welcome you to Democracy Now!
HUWAIDA ARRAF: Thank you for having me.
AMY GOODMAN: Huwaida, tell us just where you are. And when did you set sail?
HUWAIDA ARRAF: We left the southern
JUAN GONZALEZ: And what do you hope to accomplish? What kinds of medical supplies do you have?
HUWAIDA ARRAF: Well, we are carrying onboard approximately 200 hearing aids that were requested by a society in Gaza for the children, because it's not very well known, but many of Gaza's children are going deaf because of the Israeli—the sound—the sonic booms that they constantly let off over Gaza. They actually requested 9,000. We could not arrange it in this time. We're also carrying some urgently needed medical supplies.
However, we are very adamant and clear that this is not—ours is not, you know, a humanitarian convoy, because we do not intend to keep putting band-aids on Gaza, when what's happening is that Israel's policies are starving the people and causing them to basically cease to—or just exist on handouts, and that's not what we're after. We are out to show that the people of
JUAN GONZALEZ: Well, press reports in
HUWAIDA ARRAF: Well, that's ridiculous. We've been very open in our communication in—as far as what we're doing and why we're doing it and pointing out that
Now, so we have instituted many communications, put all of our intentions on the website. We even, before leaving the
And that is why, actually, we're on this mission, because, as an occupying force,
Because of the state that exists over the past couple of years that Israel has had this stringent siege over Gaza, 200 patients in Gaza have died because they have not been able to access the medical—to leave Gaza to access the medical care they need. 80 percent of the Gazan people, according to the United Nations, are living—cannot survive without handouts. You have hundreds of students that seek to pursue their education abroad that cannot leave. You have a horrendous sewage crisis, because Gazan people cannot import the materials they need to construct adequate sewage systems, so you have UN organizations claiming that pretty soon there might be an outbreak of waterborne diseases. You have fishermen that try to fish and get shot at when they go out more than three nautical miles. And so, the situation is really unbearable, a manmade humanitarian crisis. And the international community, governments, institutions that are supposed to uphold people's human rights are not doing anything about it. And that's really the purpose of our mission—
AMY GOODMAN: Huwaida Arraf, can you describe who is on the two boats, the
HUWAIDA ARRAF: Sure. We have approximately—we have forty-three civilians from seventeen different countries. We have on our—on the
AMY GOODMAN: Huwaida, I just wanted to ask if, by any chance, as we're talking to you, if you could tell people on your boat to tell the others we're trying to reach them. We had reached them all morning. Now we're not able to reach Free Gaza, the other boat. But if you could tell them that, maybe they could—I don't know how you two communicate, the two different boats.
HUWAIDA ARRAF: We do have satellite phones, which I'm speaking to you now from, and we also have walkie-talkies. And we have the VHS system. So we have various means of communication.
AMY GOODMAN: Well, could you—
HUWAIDA ARRAF: We have not had a problem reaching them, but—
AMY GOODMAN: We are right now. But could you also tell us—we've heard that you've gotten death threats before you left Cyprus—what is the situation?—and that you had frogmen, police, checking out the bottom of the boats, Cypriot police, underneath the boats before you set sail.
HUWAIDA ARRAF: Yes. Well, over the past couple of weeks, we've been into many harbors. And we have tried to be vigilant about security, because we've learned from previous experiences, and specifically in 1988, the Palestine Liberation Organization tried to organize a similar boat to Palestine, and that boat was—that boat was actually attacked, it was exploded. So we've had people on twenty-four-hour watch. And before leaving each boat—before leaving each port, we've done dive checks. We've done our own dive checks in
And we're going to keep sailing until we reach

Tough Mudder 10/12/13 by Tight Butts and Sweaty Nuts - 11 months ago
"We set out as a team on that chilly October day, most of us not knowing the pain we would be in 5 hours later! However, not one of us would take the experience back for anything! We knew we were a team starting out, some of us meeting for the first time that day but never knew how truly important sticking together was for this race. We were boosting each other over obstacles, conquering fears, trying to get our bodies to do what the mind was telling us not to. Even completely covered in mud, our shirts were bright and distinctive so that we knew where we all were at all times. 10+ miles! shock therapy, ice water, miles of mud....nothing phased us and we finished as a team holding hands as we crossed the finish line. We are already talking about next year! And it's only the day after the race! Thanks customink for making us stand out as a team!"

UCF Hands JU First Conference Loss
October 30, 1999
Jacksonville, Fla. - The University of Central Florida (15-10, 8-0) committed only three hitting errors on their way to a 3-0 (15-10, 15-5, 15-8) victory over Jacksonville University (12-10, 4-1) in volleyball action here Saturday night. With the victory, UCF remained undefeated in league play and wrapped up the Trans America Athletic Conference regular season title. The loss was the first for the Dolphins in TAAC play. The Golden Knights have now won 10 straight and 13 of their last 14.
Senior Susan Rosenberger (11) and sophomore Piper Morgan (10) both reached double-digit kills for the Golden Knights as the team combined to hit .404 (43-3-99) for the match. Freshman setter Becca Saldana paced the UCF attack with 35 assists, while senior Brandi McCollum recorded five service aces. Senior Lisa Rieman chipped in with a team-high 12 digs and eight kills for the Golden Knights, with no hitting errors in 17 attempts.
Jacksonville was once again led by the combination of sophomore Carrie Arago (13) and senior Kelly Hickam (11), the only Dolphins to post double-digit kills. As a team, JU was held to a .177 (37-17-113) hitting percentage for the match. Sophomore Carrie Bosworth picked up 26 assists, while Hickam and Arago paced the Dolphins with 12 and 10 digs respectively.
Jacksonville will return to action on Friday, November 5th at 7:00 when they host TAAC foe Samford in the first of two homecoming weekend matches. Meanwhile, UCF will step outside of the TAAC to host South Florida at 7:00 on November 2nd, the only team to beat the Golden Knights in their last 14 matches.

Whether you choose to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy and have qualifying unsecured debts discharged or if you are forced to repay your debts by filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy, there will be certain debts which are considered nondischargeable debts. Filing any type of bankruptcy will not discharge or clear all of your debts.
What are nondischargeable debts in bankruptcy?
Wage garnishment for medical bills?
A wage garnishment allows your employer to automatically withhold a portion of your wages and send the payment directly to your creditors. Recently on our legal forum a user asked, "If I cannot pay my medical bills will the creditors have a right to have my wages garnished?"
Employment and bankruptcy should I be concerned?
Millions of Americans file for bankruptcy protection each year, suggesting there is much less of a social stigma for filing bankruptcy than in the past, but the real question is whether or not filing bankruptcy could jeopardize your employment. The answer is…it depends.
Can I discharge hospital bills in bankruptcy?
If you have suffered a severe medical crisis it's easy to rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical debt, especially if you do not have good healthcare coverage. Recently on our bankruptcy forum a user asked, "Can I discharge my hospital bills if I file bankruptcy?"
Bankruptcy debt how much should I list?
Many debtors considering bankruptcy have questions about how to list their bankruptcy debt. For example, do they have to list all of their debts? If they do not, how much debt do they have to list? What if they want to pay off certain debts and discharge other debts?
Child support is it included in bankruptcy?
Filing bankruptcy is a legal means for debtors to potentially eliminate unsecured debts they cannot repay and make a fresh financial start. There are debts, however, that the government considers so important they are not legally discharged while filing bankruptcy. Recently on our legal forum a user asked, "Will my child support be discharged in my bankruptcy?"
How will bankruptcy affect a lawsuit?
After you submit the bankruptcy petition the court will initiate an automatic stay which will stop creditors from continuing their debt collection efforts, this includes ongoing credit card lawsuits. The lawsuit, however, may be continued under some conditions after the bankruptcy is completed, if it is dismissed or if the court decides to lift the stay. So what will happen to the underlying credit card debts if you file bankruptcy? It will depend on whether you file Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Can I file a second bankruptcy if I filed in 2003?
If you have filed bankruptcy before and are now facing another financial crisis you might wonder if it is possible to file a second bankruptcy. Although there are no regulations about the number of times you can file bankruptcy, if you have received a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy discharge there is a specified time period you must wait between each discharge before you can file a second bankruptcy and receive a discharge. Recently on our legal forum we had a user ask, "Can I file a second bankruptcy if I filed in 2003?"
Debt consolidation is it a good idea?
Debt consolidation allows an individual to consolidate or combine various different types of debts such as a personal loan or credit card debt into a single loan. The benefit of consolidating the debts is it may allow the debtor to extend the repayment period and lower the interest payments, allowing the debtor more time to repay the debts.

Facebook API in Cascades/Native Development
Hello fellow developers,
I am building an app that uses Facebook's graph api and I am wondering if it is possible to connect the app to my app in Cascades or is the only way to do it in HTML5 development?
I need to be able to use the graph api to login into facebook, and pull down a users facebook friends and store it in my application. Please let me know if there is a way to do this in Native Development?

Re: Facebook API in Cascades/Native Development
It is possible to connect to Facebook, for example via this QML plugin: https://projects.developer.nokia.com...GettingStarted
I haven't tested it myself though and the getting started guide is tailored for Symbian and MeeGo development.

Re: Facebook API in Cascades/Native Development
Thanks this would be a great starting point, I am new to the blackberry qt and qml framework and would love to know if it works for blackberry 10. I shall try it out and hopefully it works, but I'm beginner in qt. If you could test it for bb10 and let me know if it works, maybe even send me a sample, it would be very appreciated. Thank you,

Re: Facebook API in Cascades/Native Development
Do you guys think the new facebook app on iOS seems to have some peek and flow feel in it?
- 11-17-2012, 12:04 PM Thread Author #6
Do you suggest I just do it in WebWorks and forget about Cascades?
- 11-24-2012, 02:47 PM Thread Author #7
I am still trying to figure this out. I am not getting anywhere.

This is a better starting point: https://github.com/blackberry/bb-cascades-oauth
oauth is used for authorisation in many places. Social networks and cloud services would be using this. Innventology (maker of files and folders) informed me of this library and the basics behind oauth.Check out my apps on App World!

Hey, So I am moving to anchorage and this may be a lame question but here it goes. Looking online at various sites, there doesn't seem to be much trad climbing that is accessible for just day climbs in the anchorage area. Am I better off just selling my rack because I won't use it much for the next couple of years? Is there much trad climbing in the area that can be done on day trips? Thanks
Just curious, are you in need of money? Otherwise why selling your rack instead of keeping it for future climb?
I mean, don't sell your rack unless you need the money. Right? Anyway, yes, there is trad climbing that can be day tripped from Anchorage. Just not much quality stuff. The Hatcher Pass area is very pretty and, yeah, there are actually some great, granite trad routes. Free camping for weekend trips too. One hour drive to a 5 mile rough road to a 1/2-1 hour (or longer) approach. Endless daylight. Maybe a 4 month season. Or skiing in earlyer. Like Dustin said, you can use your rack in the winter too.
yeah-I need to come up with some extra cash for some crap. And if there isn't much trad climbing, I would rather get a speedwing (in addition to the paraglider that I have) and a new kayak. hey, One other question. I own to many down jackets, but I want a "beater" down jacket. I already own the mountain hardwear nilas, some patagonia and montbell ultralight down jackets. How would the mountain hardwear chill wave be for urban use and just casual use regarding the temps in anchorage? How long is the water ice climbing season in the anchorage area?
Your nearest crags will most likely be on The New Seward Highway -named America's worst crag by one of the rags a handful of years back. At the time, the article rubbed me the wrong way because I enjoyed the craggin' up there and I was new to it all. The Scar was one of the more comprehensive guidebooks for the area at the time, by Kristian Sieling(?). David Whitelaw's guidebook for Hatcher's Pass was what we used as well (I've completely forgotten the name of either edition I once had). Now that I live and climb down here in the "Lower 48", I would agree that the two don't even compare -if I were to move back up there I'd get back into climbing ice, skiing and playing hockey, and save my (rock) rack for the AK range in the summers or roadtrips back down here. The ice season there is long, and there is plenty at all grades that is easily accessable! The weather in Anchorage is generally temperate by Alaskan standards, but unless you live in Montana, or Wyoming, or Minnesota, or -you get the idea; I'd prepare for a REAL winter, long and dark. And, it's ALASKA -forget about brand names or what matches with what for whatever "outfit". Go with shit that works and that doesn't break or tear. No one gives a fuck about that up there, and scoff at us pussies that do down here.

Daniel Radcliffe Talks Epilogue, 'The Forest Again,' Saying Goodbye to Potter and MoreRadcliffe Interviews
A number of new articles and videos have surfaced on the MTV website in which Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) has spoken briefly about "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." You may remember that last month we let you know about an interview MTV conducted with Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) in which the actor mentioned that he was "excited to see what we look like 19 years later" in the epilogue scene. In a follow up to this article, Radcliffe comments, "[we] have done a few tests, and it does look really, really rather good." The Harry Potter actor also spoke about the daughter of Amanda Knight - the head of the makeup department - who Radcliffe hopes will portray Harry's daughter Lily Potter. "She was born a week before I got the part and is now 9," continued Radcliffe, "So it's the kind of physical embodiment of how long we've been there." You can watch a video of this section of the interview here on the MTV website.
Secondly, Daniel Radcliffe has spoken about saying goodbye to Harry Potter, "something," he concedes, "you have to accept, and it's also very exciting." The actor described seeing fellow cast members leave the set for good as, "odd" as they finish their individual stories in the film and also discussed the lasting impact of the film on the British film industry:
I did have a moment the other day, in the makeup room that I have been in for ten years now. I did walk in and go, 'Wow, this is [hitting me]. One day — in about four or five months from now — I'm going to walk in here for the last time.' Especially since, after we're done shooting, they're redoing the entire studio, tearing down and starting again. Which is, about time! They could have done it ten years earlier, really. It's going to be amazing, actually. A big investment is going into Leavesden [Studios] and England will finally have a third film studio. They've always had Shepperton and Pinewood, but to have Leavesden? That will do wonders for the film industry in England, which is always a struggle to keep going. Potter has been the major film in England for the past ten years and it's [...] kept a lot of people in work, myself included, obviously.You can find the video accompanying this article at this link, where you can also find more video clips of MTV's interview with the actor. In these clips, Radcliffe also discusses everything from the hypnotising effect of Olympic curling, social networking website Twitter and his involvement in The Trevor Project. Furthermore, Radcliffe mentions filming the resurrection stone scene in 'The Forest Again,' saying he "put a lot of pressure on [himself]" to get it right.

The final places in the 2012-13 Champions League group stages were secured today across Europe. Three of the matches were fairly pedestrian with nothing changing from the first leg as BATE Borisov, Dinamo Zagreb and Malaga advanced while Anderlecht fought back to win their tie over AEL. For second straight year, Udinese failed to qualify for the group stages, this time in heartbreaking fashion.
Hapoel Kirya 1 - 1 BATE Borisov
BATE Borisov advances 3-1
Despite a goal from Laszlo Lencse in the 67th minute, Hapoel Kirya couldn't find the second goal they needed to draw even with BATE Borisov. Alexander Pavlov scored for Borisov in the 90th minute to put the final touches on their aggregate goal victory.
NK Maribor 0 - 1 Dinamo Zagreb
Zagreb advances 3-1
Maribor already had uphill battle ahead of them going in to the Ljudski vrt Stadium, but an away goal could have made things interesting. Instead, Zagreb's Tonel scored in the 12th minute and the Blues never looked back, coasting in to the group stages.
Panathinaikos 0 - 0 Malaga
Malaga advances 2-0
Malaga and Panathinaikos played a fairly entertaining first leg in Spain, but with Los Boquerones holding the commanding 2 goal advantage, Manuel Pellegrini's side chose instead to conserve their energies and defend their way in to the group stages.
Udinese 1 - 1 Braga
Braga advances 2-2 (5-4 on penalties)
It easily the most entertaining match of the day, Udinese got the goal they needed Pablo Armero to take a 2-1 lead in the tie in the 25th minute. The Bianconeri seemed to relax a bit too much after the goal and even had a chance to extend their lead when Armero was in alone on the Braga keeper but inexplicably fell in the box before he could get off a shot. Despite that, Udinese were still still in good shape until Rúben Micael scored for Braga in the 72nd minute, sending the match to extra time. After 120 minutes, the teams remained tied and penalties would decide the day. The difference ended up being the incredibly poor decision by new signing Maicosuel to attempt a paneka on his OK attempt that was easily saved by Beto.

Charges are pending against the father of the child.

We've come to the point where the "new LaMarcus" has played exactly as many games this season as the "old LaMarcus." The "old LaMarcus" played 26 games, and then BRoy, our franchise player, went out with double knee surgeries. The "new LaMarcus" has filled the void as go to guy quite remarkably. What do the scoring and rebounding stats tell us about this tale of two half seasons?
The "old LaMarcus" averaged 17.8 points and 8.0 rebounds. This is consistent with his prior three (non-rookie) years, in which he averaged 17.9 and 7.7.
So what has the "new LaMarcus" done? Just averaged 25.4 points and 10.2 rebounds. He jumped his scoring by 43% and his rebounding by 28%!
Points-wise, "new LaMarcus" would be tied witrh Kobe and DWade for 4th in scoring, behind only Durant, Amare, and LeBron,
Rebounding-wise, "new LaMarcus" would be 6th in the league, behind Kevin Love, Dwight Howard, Zach Randolph, Blake Griffin, and Pau Gasol.
If you make a "big man index" that adds points per game and rebounds per game, the rankings of this year's top big men are as follows:
1 Love 37.0
2 "new LaMarcus": 36.6
3 Dwight Howard 36.1
4 Durant 36.0
5 Griffin 35.7
6 Amare 35.1
7+: 33 or below: LeBron, Randolph, Carmelo, Nowitzski, Gasol
"old LaMarcus": 25.8
"New LaMarcus" has vaulted himself to the top of the pack of NBA big men! What a remarkable transformation! Congratulations, LA, and keep it up. Good things lay ahead!

Man, 66, one month away from completing community order for Asbo breach
12:00pm Sunday 23rd December 2012 in News By Kate Wilson, Reporter
A COURT heard Martin Solomon, 66, is just one month away from completing a community order for breaching an Asbo last January.
Solomon, of Farmhill Lane, Stroud, was given a community order on Wednesday, January 25 last year after two breaches of an Asbo.
The conditions of the order were to complete a six-month alcohol treatment requirement, 100 hours of unpaid work and one to one supervision meetings.
The 66-year-old told Stroud Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, December 19, that he had seen where he had been going wrong and was now taking every chance and opportunity to become a better citizen.
Stroud probation officer, Tanya Phelps, told the court it was another positive report that has been a theme throughout Solomon's order.
The community order is due to finish on Thursday, January 24.

Osi Umenyiora's opportunity to find a new team has apparently ended, just days after it began.
According to Mike Garafolo of The New Jersey Star-Ledger, the Giants have informed the defensive end that he is no longer allowed to find a trading partner for his services. Once it was determined that Umenyiora and agent Tony Agnone could not find a team willing to deal a first-round pick, the Giants told the pair that they could no longer work out a trade.
Umenyiora is set to earn $7.1 million combined the next two seasons and he is looking for a long-term contract. He claims the Giants promised him that his deal would be restructured, but that has yet to take place.

The Ravens officially announced the departure of QB coach Jim Zorn and added that offensive coordinator Cam Cameron's duties will be expanded to include working more closely with the team's quarterbacks.
"We've talked about this since the end of the season, and we believe this will help improve our offense," Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said. "Cam is noted for his development of quarterbacks, and that includes Joe Flacco and Pro Bowl players like Drew Brees and Philip Rivers. Cam is excited about this change and is looking forward to it."
The Ravens also announced that offensive assistant Craig Ver Steeg, who has been both an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in his 26-year coaching career, will assist with the team's QBs.
According to PFW correspondent and Baltimore Sun reporter Jamison Hensley, Harbaugh and Zorn had a long meeting this week and decided to go their separate ways. Flacco had his best season as a pro under Zorn's watch, throwing for 3,622 yards, 25 TDs and 10 interceptions in the regular season.
"We were able to get Jim here for a year after his head-coaching job with the Redskins," Harbaugh said. "He was able to help us get back to the playoffs, and we thank him for his contributions."
Prior to taking the job with the Ravens, Zorn was the head man in Washington. He was fired following the 2009 season after going 12-20 during his two years in charge. He's expected to be in demand by other teams this offseason.

What Could a Casino Mean for Local Real Estate
11/13/2013 (Updated 6:41:24 PM)Reaction on Wednesday to a potential casino in Johnson City.
Fox 40 has learned about plans to build a $150 million dollar casino and resort at Traditions at the Glen.
This just about a week after New York voters approved Proposition 1 allowing for seven Las Vegas style casinos, four of which would be located upstate.
The project could mean hundreds of jobs. Such a project would have far-reaching impact, but what about for the local real estate market?
"Well that's all going to depend on how many people are going to be hired and how many people are actually going to be looking for homes. If we can bring more people to the area then of course home sales will increase," said Thomas Reid, President of the Greater Binghamton Association of Realtors.
While not disclosing the exact reason why, Traditions is planning a press conference Thursday evening at 5:30pm.

Chuck's Newsstand was a fixture on 13th Avenue in Vero Beach (across the street from the main post office) for decades. However, its owner, Daranee Chitwannapa, recently moved the business to the Causeway Plaza on 17th Street.
It appears another newsstand will be opening at the 13th Avenue location.
The name? "Chuck's New Stand." (See accompanying photo.)
Hmmm. Sounds vaguely familiar, doesn't it?
Whether that name will face a legal challenge remains to be seen. If so, co-owner Miles Wright says he has a few other possibilities.
"I'm putting in a modern newsstand," he said.
That would include Internet access, coffee and snacks.
Jared Smith is his partner in the venture.
The "new" newsstand at the "old" location will open later this year, he said.

From STEMRobotics
Remember to celebrate Engineers Week - February 16 -- February 25
Welcome to STEMRobotics!
We are a non-profit group that is bringing Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to students using competition robotics.
Driving the robots in Competitions is a small part of what we do. From the beginning we teach each roboteer valuable life skills like communications, planning, getting a group consensus, cooperation and negotiations. We also bring to life STEM skills in areas of electronics, mechanics, pneumatics, programming by planning, designing, building (and sometimes rebuilding), testing and driving our robots.
Current Events
Check out the full schedule of our current events.
Mentor/Coach Training: Get a Chance to Build a Robot Yourself!
We are working to arrange a place to meet. When we have that, we will begin scheduling these "Coach-the-Coach" sessions again.
Maybe you can help? Have a place that we could meet to build some robots? Any room will do.
Learn to Program Your Robot!
When we have a place to meet again, we will start programming our robots with RobotC. Until then check out the new, Philly area - TechnoMage League. All across the Philly Metro area - parent and educator led groups are hosting workshops and League Ranking events (http://technomage.radcorp.com - the site is being constructed right now :) )
When we program, we will be programming with ROBOTC and a Vex controller and various motors, servos, and sensors.
We will be running through the RobotC environment and programming our robots.
We will also be looking at the sample programs and going through as many as we can over the course of several Wednesdays.
You really need to set up your laptop before you come to the class. Here are the prerequisites:Setting Up Your Laptop To Program RobotC.
Here is the link to download the RobotC for Cortex and PIC to program the Vex. Please make sure that you get the latest version (Platforms: Cortex, PIC (Version 2.32 - 08/06/2011)
Don't forget to load the Prolific Driver to use the USB-to-Serial adapter. This lets you plug in the orange programming cable to put code on the robot. There are specific versions for the Windows OS that you are running, make sure you have the right one. The drivers are found on the same page as the demo copy of RobotC.
Start Your Team!
There is still grant money available for new teams! Contact Info at stemrobotics dot org for more details.
Steve's Email Blast
About twice a month Steve sends out Steves Email Blast to the mailing list. To get on it, contact him at Steve.Rhoads at STEMRobotics dot org.
PSU Scrimmage
We had a 21 robots at the Penn State Abington VEX Clean Sweep Scrimmage, played 23 matches, saw some amazing play and ate 50 pizzas, 6 dozen cookies and 10 dozen doughnuts.
We also had an amazing team of Combat Coders help everyone at the event with their RobotC programming: Mike Long, Taylor Gore, Sadat Shaik, and Shashank Bhargava. These young men tackled every robot brought their way.
Here is a link to pictures taken at the event:

Combat Coding
Wednesday (Nov 18, 2009), we met again.
This time, Foster had the programming team working on mechanical construction with their respective teams, BUT Taylor Gore took a moment off building to demonstrate some solid Combat Coding! He programmed a holonomic drive for another team (?Team 84?). He made sure that he enabled the Y-Axis of both joysticks plus the buttons on the back of the transmitter all worked together to strafe, drive forward, rotate and back up.
Very impressive! Good job, Taylor!
Previous Combat Coding demonstrations!
Low-Cost FIELD!
Note the field in the picture above! I built that field using the Vex Robotics site instructions and PVC.
There is NO REASON for every club/team not to have a field! It was easy to put together, and the cost was nominal (at most ~ $100. I think that my costs were closer to about $75.00) The result is very lightweight, yet sturdy, and transportable! Join us at one of our throw-downs and take a look.
Looking for a location sponsor. Can you host these workshops?
We will be working through the Yolande Petersen Guides below in Resources. Our primary resource is VEX for the Technically Challenged.
See Mentor Workshop for a week by week description on what is planned.
Events: Throw-downs, Workshops and Competitions!
The Current Events list!! Don't miss the Summer of Fun 2009
Some of our past events have been:
- Radcorp Summer of Fun 2007
- We held a number of robot build nights and some competitions.

The White House is praising an agreement on immigration reform reached by senators from both parties, calling it an important first step.
White House spokesman Jay Carney says it embodies the same principles President Barack Obama believes are necessary.
A bipartisan group of leading senators announced their plan Monday for a sweeping overhaul, including a path to citizenship for about 11 million illegal immigrants. The plan also includes border security, a guest worker system and employer verification.
Obama will travel on Tuesday to Las Vegas to lay out his vision, which is expected to overlap with the Senate effort.
Meanwhile, the reaction to a bipartisan immigration reform plan being outlined today is generally favorable -- from Latino advocacy groups, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and organized labor. But some are also sounding a note of caution.
The head of the AFL-CIO is questioning a proposal that would require illegal immigrants to provide proof of employment before they can gain legal status. Richard Trumka says it could exclude millions of workers who can't provide proof, because they've been forced to work "off the clock" or they are independent contractors.
The plan includes a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who are already in the United States. But Clarissa Martinez of the National Council of La Raza says the path must be one that is workable. She says it can't be "so rigorous that those seeking to apply would not be able to get there."
And the American Civil Liberties Union is taking issue with a proposal to require employers to use an electronic system to verify employment. The ACLU calls it a "thinly-disguised national ID requirement."
The deal being announced today also covers border security and "guest" workers.
The White House calls it a "positive" development. (AP)
Nevada Sen. Harry Reid issued the following statement:
"Fixing our broken immigration system is an urgent priority, and I fully support the efforts of the bipartisan group of senators seeking to solve this issue. We need a comprehensive solution that includes a tough but fair path to citizenship for the estimated eleven million individuals in our country who are undocumented, and a plan to secure our borders. This framework meets those criteria, and I am very encouraged to see this group making progress and finding common ground. The true test of our leadership will be passing common-sense legislation, and nothing short of success will be acceptable.
"President Obama has made immigration reform a top priority for his administration, and I thank him for his leadership. With bipartisan support building in both houses of Congress and a President eager to solve this problem, we should be able to get this done in the months ahead. The American people want a solution, our economy requires a solution, and families across America are praying for a solution. Now is the time to act."

A Stevenson High School senior won a $250 U.S. savings bond scholarship for her version of President Barack Obama's second inaugural speech.
Her essay was among nearly 60 submissions from a dozen Illinois high schools. The students' essays showed the writers' knowledge of current events and topical issues. They were written and judged before Obama delivered his second inaugural address.
Only three students received awards in the contest.
The winning entry was written by Glenbrook South High School freshman Elayna Mork, who discussed civil unrest in North Africa and the Middle East and the current financial crisis. She won a $500 savings bond.
Another finalist, Harry D. Jacobs High School junior Hari Manikandan, received a $250 savings bond.
