I don't know how relevant this is to Sunderland in itself however I heard today that Newcastle are going to end up with nine French players in their first team squad, without counting their other first team members who are not British. I cannot help feel that their players can never understand or grasp the passion and importance of a derby game especially the one which Newcastle will be hosting in April.
The way things are going for them I feel like we are just going to feel we are playing a French club whenever we play them don't get me wrong not all of the French players will be inept to understand what this derby means to locals but I just don't think they will 'Get It' I am also going to try and connect this with how Sunderland are thinking of moving a few youth names on such as Ryan Noble and Roarie Deacon and in my honest opinion - Its a correct decision.
Ryan Noble this lad I thought had bags and bags of potential but has yet to prove it truly. His first spell for Hartlepool was mediocre in a Premiership standing point of view and I thought perhaps this season would be His time to make some first team appearances here and there and He never got it, Did O'Neill ever give him a chance? Despite that cracking goal during pre season He has proved He cannot cut it in League One and moving him on is important.
The second we can shift some of this academy deadwood means we can give some other youngsters a chance to play for the reserves and maybe get someone who is Premiership quality like Hendo or Colback (If you want to call him Prem quality of course) I honestly wish there was a rule in English football where you would have to field at least 5 British players every game this would encourage so much more youth development and even perhaps push more kids to try and play for their local clubs. It could also bring in a prospect of having a couple of Wear and Tyneside lads in the derbies, You know - Lads who care about the derbies because at points in our derby games I don't see many of our lads caring the game and what it means to our fans, they say "Its a big game for the club" but You don't see it in the way they play both on Newcastle and Sunderland's end.
I guess what I am mainly getting at is I hope O'Neill can get it into his head to get some of the U18s turned into First Team members I am not going to say that they are going to be the next Wayne Rooney or Lampard but at least competent enough to make our Academy look as half respectable as what Championship clubs such as Crystal Palace can offer along with Southampton and even Middlesborough. I honestly hope I will see something like this one day because seeing a young lad from Sunderland play in front of an audience He was once part of excites me more than bringing half a dozen lads from Paris.

When you're a desktop support technician, it soon becomes obvious that no two end-users are alike. We often remember the most churlish users, but you sometimes see real humility and curiosity, as I learned from my days on help desk at a corporate bank in New York.
The placebo effect
One day, I was the sucker who answered a call from a gentlemen in the M&A division. None of us liked to help this particular person. He was rude and obnoxious, and he complained about anything and everything that wasn't to his liking.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Stay away from these 20 common IT blunders -- and save your career. | Follow InfoWorld's Off the Record on Twitter for tech's war stories, career takes, and off-the-wall news. | Subscribe to the Off the Record newsletter for your weekly dose of workplace shenanigans. ]
His complaint this time was that his mouse was not moving the same or as fast as it had previously. We had recently done some upgrades to his PC, so of course he blamed us for causing the problem and demanded I get to his office immediately.
I made my way upstairs, and while he stood there telling me how terrible the IT staff were, I worked on figuring out the problem. I first checked the mouse to see if anything was wrong. No, everything was fine.
I then started poking around on the settings on the computer. Needless to say, I could not find a thing wrong or out of place. Everything worked smoothly. I moved the mouse around the screen, and again all looked great.
I told him that the mouse seemed to be working without glitches, and I left, assuming that everything was all right and glad to be done with his unpleasantness.
The next day I got another call from him. He was again complaining that the mouse was not working to his liking.
I went back to his office to investigate and still couldn't find anything unusual. I looked at the computer, the mouse, the settings, anything I could think of, but all was fine. I asked some questions to figure out if it was working OK for him at that point and to better understand what he was seeing, but he brushed me off. I left, thinking it must be OK.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Continuing its long-standing participation in NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletics, San José State University has accepted an offer to change its conference affiliation by joining the Mountain West on July 1, 2013.
"Joining the Mountain West in 2013 is an exciting opportunity for San José State University's student-athletes, coaches and our many supporters," President Mohammad Qayoumi said. "I want to thank everyone who worked hard to make this happen. The Mountain West and San José State are a great match.
"We are not joining this conference simply to compete. We are joining to win, and to build upon our current record of success reflecting San José State's role as a leader in the classroom, in research and in athletics."
Beginning in 2013-14, San José State will share Mountain West membership with the Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, Colo.), Colorado State (Fort Collins, Colo.), Fresno State (Fresno, Calif.), Nevada (Reno, Nev.), UNLV (Las Vegas, Nev.), New Mexico (Albuquerque, N.M.), Utah State (Logan, Utah), Wyoming (Laramie, Wyo.) in many of its sports and Hawaii (Honolulu, Hawaii) in football only.
"Today is a historic day for San José State University athletics. We are proud to join the Mountain West in 2013 and continue our long and rich history of offering our student-athletes and coaches the opportunity to compete at the Division I-A level. In addition, our fans and alumni will continue enjoying the best in major college athletics," said San José State University Interim Athletics Director Marie Tuite.
"We will join familiar opponents in competition, gain a better geographic fit when we travel to away games and provide a level of stability, particularly for our improving football program led by Coach Mike MacIntyre, with additional opportunities to grow all of our sports programs."
With the recent addition of women's outdoor track, 14 of San José State's 17 NCAA Division I programs will compete for Mountain West championships. Presently, the Mountain West does not sponsor conference championships in men's soccer, women's gymnastics and women's water polo. SJSU has a total of 450 student-athletes.
The Spartans will be exiting the Western Athletic Conference after securing membership in July 1996.
"As we look forward to becoming a Mountain West member, we want to thank the WAC for its support of San José State University athletics and providing our student-athletes a positive Division I athletics environment," Tuite said. "On behalf of everyone affiliated with San José State athletics, we look forward to the challenges ahead, and embrace them willingly, as we enter the Mountain West."

Possible Replacements For Boston College's Athletic Director: Total Pay
Ole Miss AD Ross Bjork: "I think the SEC Network will be every bit as big as the Big Ten Network"From CBSSports.com's Brett McMurphy Actually Ross, I think the SEC Network will be bigger. The new SEC will have a lot more people in its footprint, and you won't find a conference with a more rabid collective fan base than the SEC. Can you imagine how many people will be tuning into football replays over the off season? It'll be huge. And furthermore, I... Oh, wait. That's an AD saying an SEC Network "will" be coming. I don't see an "if" or a "possibly" or a "potentially" in that sentence. This doesn't constitute an official announcement, but it sounds like Bjork just confirmed that a TV network is on the way.

This is pretty big news and a big loss for UCLA. Ross spent the past five seasons at UCLA as our senior associate athletic director for development and external relations. He was doing a really good job in fundraising. Needless to mention this a huge area of need for us given the activities around Pauley's renovation. Ross (37) becomes the youngest athletic director among the 120 schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Good luck to him. GO BRUINS.

The English language has been shaped by a number of other languages over the centuries, and many English speakers know that Latin and German were two of the most important. What many people don't realize is how much the French language has influenced English.
Without going into too much detail, I want to give a little bit of background about the other languages which shaped English. It was born out of the dialects of three German tribes (Angles, Jutes, and Saxons) who settled in Britain in about 450 A.D. This group of dialects forms what linguists refer to as Anglo-Saxon, and at some point this language developed into what we know as Old English. This Germanic base was influenced in varying degrees by Celtic, Latin, and Scandinavian (Old Norse) - the languages spoken by invading armies.
Bill Bryson calls the Norman conquest of 1066 the "final cataclysm [which] awaited the English language." (1) When William the Conqueror became king of England, French took over as the language of the court, administration, and culture - and stayed there for 300 years. Meanwhile, English was "demoted" to everyday, unprestigious uses. These two languages existed side by side in England with no noticeable difficulties; in fact, since English was essentially ignored by grammarians during this time, it took advantage of its lowly status to become a grammatically simpler language and, after only 70 or 80 years existing side-by-side with French, Old English segued into Middle English.
During the Norman occupation, about 10,000 French words were adopted into English, some three-fourths of which are still in use today. This French vocabulary is found in every domain, from government and law to art and literature - learn some. More than a third of all English words are derived directly or indirectly from French, and it's estimated that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words. (2) You can see 1,700 words that are identical in the two languages right here: True cognates.
English pronunciation owes a lot to French as well. Whereas Old English had the unvoiced fricative sounds [f], [s], [θ] (as in thin), and [∫] (shin), French influence helped to distinguish their voiced counterparts [v], [z], [ð] (the), and [ʒ] (mirage), and also contributed the diphthong [ɔy] (boy). (3) (What is voiced/unvoiced/fricative?)
Another rare but interesting remnant of French influence is in the word order of expressions like secretary general and surgeon general, where English has retained the noun + adjective word order typical in French, rather than the usual adjective + noun used in English.

Cramer Quick Take: Buy The Banks? Not So Fast
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Should investors be piling into the bank stocks now that shares are off to the races and the analysts are finally upgrading some names?
Jim Cramer told Debra Borchardt at TheStreet.com that investors need to take a pause first and think before they pull the trigger.
Cramer said he's definitely a big fan of the banks, and even owns Wells Fargo (WFC) for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, but that doesn't mean he's willing to jump in and buy at the end of a big two-day rally.Cramer said his trading discipline over his many years has shown him the tail end of a big rally is the time to trim positions, not add to them. He said he likes Bank of America (BAC), but that doesn't mean the stock can't drop a quick $1 over the next day or two as at least some investors lock in their big gains. Cramer's advice: Look for value and wait for a better entry point. This may sometimes cost you, he noted, but sometimes it's better to say "I missed it" than to pay too much buying into a rally that's already happened.

I will start with the problem. On the night of the 3rd day, I became very ill with a GI problem. I found out later that I was not the only one with the problem. I am guessing that 75-100 people had the same problem. I spent the better part of the day in the cabin, in the bathroom, voiding from both ends. Sorry - no other ways to say it. When I did get to the infirmary, I saw that I was surrounded by others with the same issue. The 2 doctors and nurses were extremely busy with all of the people, but not well organized. Some people were told that they were quarantined for 24 hours, but not all. This was not conveyed to the housekeeping staff as they asked me to leave my room when they finally showed up to clean up. Yes, they were very busy, but my room needed attention and we had to ask 4 times before someone came to clean. I was contacted the next day to see how I was and at first was told that I could not eat in the dining room, but could eat in the buffets. That did not make much sense to me. Shortly before leaving the ship I asked if they knew what we "had" so that I could speak with my own doctor. I was told that they did not know. Data was collected for the CDC, so we may hear more.
I was unable to visit Halifax. My husband stayed with me, just in case I needed him. He left the ship for an hour's walk into Halifax. In order to make up for our inconvenience (?) Carnival let us disembark with an earlier group. Wooppee!! We had lost 20% of our vacation. I don't know how often these things happen, but once is too much. On our first cruise, the staff was constantly cleaning handrails and bathrooms. We were strongly offered Purell whenever we went into the food areas. This did not happen on the Glory. I don't know if it would have prevented the virus, but it could not have hurt.
If this review is too long for you, you can stop reading at this point. I want you to be aware of the virus and how it was handled by Carnival.
The embarking procedure went smoothly and relatively quickly. No complaints there. The cabin was clean and had plenty of room for the huge amount of stuff that we always take. The cabin steward introduced himself and the housekeeping staff was always friendly. The room was kept tidy. Another reviewer noted the lack of garbage bags and I would agree that it adds to the level of cleanliness.
It was a full ship and it was difficult to find a place that did not have a lot of noise. Another complaint, which seems to be true on many ships, is that people put towels on the couches and stake them out for the day, making it difficult for others to use them.
Along those lines, while the well equipped gym clearly stated that cardio equipment could be used for only 30 minutes when the gym was busy, this was not always respected and did not appear to be reinforced.
The food was OK. The buffet food was too fat laden for my taste. The salads were good as was the fruit. Sit down dinner food was better on 4 of the five nights, but not really terrific. We felt that the staff was very rushed and it was difficult to engage in conversation with any of them, something that we had enjoyed during our first cruise. Also, because we engaged more, we had better service and ended up tipping considerably more than was "suggested." This did not happen on this cruise as everyone seemed too busy to pay any special attention to us. They were working very hard but perhaps did not benefit monetarily because they could not interact as much with the guests.
We enjoyed the shows and the entertainment. We do not gamble and we drink very little. I would not buy expensive jewelry or artwork on a ship. We enjoyed our few hours in St. John. The New Brunswick museum was very interesting and worth seeing. We chose to walk around and enjoyed the architecture and the local market. Did not see Halifax, for reasons explained, above.

Discuss the Broner-Reese fight here. (Preview and Comment.)
According to Box Rec, Gavin Reese is not a nobody nor total shit. He is the British Lightweight Champion with about 40 fights and 18 KO's He also is a former WBA Super Lightweight Champion. Very strong, very tough, and supposedly game as hell. Here is Gavin's record (from Boxrec:)
Going around the Net, the consensus is that he is NOT coming to lay down. His only loss was to a very good fighter in the 12th round according to British reports, Andriy Kotelnyk back in 2008. I don't think this guy is coming to pull an Audley Harrison like against Haye or Price! (UGGHHH!) Throughout boxing history, there have been so many UK contenders who fold like accordions when they come over to America to fight top competition. But those who don't fold, have done very well. Where to rank Gavin Reese going into this fight with Adrian Boner, for the WBC Lightweight World Title?
I think Reese could be tougher than expected. However, toughness only. Hopefully, he will show heart and determination Broner has a huge reach advantage, and the Brits say Gavin is slow though determined. He is also been quoted by Broner as "dangerous."
This is a beat-down, stopped on cuts with Broner winning by TKO 8. Reese takes two rounds on courage, tops.

I dont like those odds at all Jack...not all all. 80-1?! C'mon man, those numbers are crazy.
I may need to go and watch a few Rees fights, so I can make at least a decent assessment of his fight game. I think folks are riding on the fact that nobody really knows who he is.
Let's see how this goes. Any suggestions on Rees fights that I need to see? Any difficult fights that he's been in? I think those are the ones that truly matter right now. Lol

During my last trip to New Zealand, I encountered the above shown lovely cow pasteur with fenced-in bee hives. If you look carefully at the hillsides, you'll see tall wild manuka bushes (latin name: leptospermum scoparium). The manuka bushes are filled with blooming manuka flowers, ranging in colors from white to pink. Manuka Honey has been used by the Indigenous People for centuries for an upset stomach or as a honey salve on openings in the skin.

Members of the Australian Ukrainian community hold placards as they hold a rally in Sydney July 19, 2014, demanding that Russian President Vladimir Putin not be allowed to attend the G20 Leaders Summit in November. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott blamed Russia on Friday for the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines passenger jetliner MH17 over eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board, including 28 Australians. Abbott appeared to go further than other Western leaders in apportioning blame over the crash, demanding that Moscow answer questions about the "Russian-backed rebels" that he said were behind the disaster.

Colored Concrete Cautions
When you hear the word "concrete," you probably picture
structural elements like footings, foundations, and slabs. And
whatever you picture, the material is probably smooth and gray.
Yet there are lots of ways to transform this common structural
material into an impressive decorative element.
Most decorative techniques involve changing the color and
texture of the concrete surface. These methods allow concrete
to be used for nontraditional applications like countertops but
are most frequently used for flatwork, which is the focus of
this article.
The most common treatments make concrete look like more
expensive materials such as brick, flagstone, and slate.
Skilled finishers can produce stone or tile-like surfaces that
are hard to tell from the real thing. But techniques aren't
limited to copying other materials. Color and texture can also
be used to produce abstract or painting-like effects that are
not possible with other materials.
In researching this article, I talked to a number of suppliers
and spent time visiting job sites with Tom Ralston of Tom
Ralston Concrete in Santa Cruz, Calif. With the exception of
stenciling, his company has done just about every kind of
decorative concrete there is.
There are a number of ways to color concrete. One of the older
methods is to color the surface by exposing attractively
colored aggregate. Other methods involve dying or staining the
cement that's in the concrete.
After scoring a damp exterior slab to
suggest stone pavers, workers sprinkle on color hardener to
change the tint (see photo at top of article). Latex molds
taken from actual stone are pounded into place to provide the
Integral color. The easiest way to color
concrete is to have the supplier add color pigment at the batch
plant. You can also add pigment to the mix after the truck
arrives on site. Either way, the concrete is colored before
it's poured, so placing and finishing aren't much different
than usual. Concrete prices vary widely from area to area, but
depending on who you talk to, using integral color may add 10%
to 50% to the cost of the material. The labor to finish is
about the same as for a standard mix.
Pigments are usually powdered and come in a wide range of
hues. You can get reds, greens, yellows, blues, browns, tans,
grays, and black. The color will go all the way through the
crete, so chips and dings will not be noticeable.
Adding integral color is a simple way to color concrete, but
there are ways to mess up. The most important thing is to be
consistent, especially for jobs that require more than one
load. Each batch should contain the same materials and the same
amount of pigment and arrive at the recommended slump --
typically 4 or 5 inches. Each batch should be mixed, placed,
finished, and cured exactly the same way. Change anything and
you can end up with areas that don't match.
Pigment should be measured by weight and added in proportion
to the amount of cement that's in the mix. Intense colors are
more expensive than subtle ones because it takes more pigment
to get them. It might take 3 pounds of pigment to color a yard
of light tan concrete and as much as 24 pounds to produce a
deep brick red.
Watch out for cold weather. It's common practice
to use calcium chloride to speed setting in cold weather. But
you shouldn't add it to concrete that's getting integral color
because chloride-based accelerators can discolor the slab or
cause efflorescence. If you need to pour in cold weather, ask
your supplier to use hot water or to increase the cement
content of the mix. Other options include using a more
expensive nonchloride accelerator or concrete containing
fast-setting type III cement.
Hot days.
Dark colors absorb heat, so a dark mix may set faster than you
expect when it's sunny and dry. That can make the concrete hard
to finish and may lead to thermal cracking. If you can't avoid
pouring dark colors on hot sunny days, you should tent the slab
or use extra curing compound to keep the concrete from drying
Another way to color concrete is to add pigment after it's
placed. This is done by heavily dusting the surface with a
dry-shake color hardener after the crete is floated and the
bleed water has disappeared. The moisture in the slab activates
the hardener, which is incorporated into the surface by
floating, troweling, or stamping with textured mats. The color
typically goes about 1/8 inch into the slab.
The main ingredients in color hardener are pigment and
Portland cement. The pigment provides color, and the Portland
enriches the surface and makes it harder than the concrete
below. You could pour material that's 3,000 psi and end up with
a surface that's 6,000 psi. The extra hard surface helps the
slab wear better and makes it more resistant to freeze-thaw
Skilled labor needed. Using color hardener takes
more skill and labor than using integrally colored concrete.
Color hardener is applied in stages. The first two thirds are
broadcast on the slab and worked in by trowel or float. The
final third is worked into areas that didn't get enough color
the first time. The slab is then ready for finishing.
Color hardener comes in a wide array of colors. There's more
design flexibility than with integral color because the
finisher controls the process. He or she decides how much color
to apply and is able to create highlights by using more than
one color.
It takes between 60 and 120 pounds of color hardener to color
100 square feet of concrete. Lighter colors typically require
more. Most color hardener costs between 35¢ and $1.00
per square foot. But blues and greens are more, costing between
$1.20 and $6.50 per square foot. As with integral color, you
should avoid using chloride-based accelerators with this
Cured concrete can be colored by treating it with acid stain.
The stain, which is made from water, acid, and inorganic salts,
can be applied with a roller, brush, or garden sprayer. It's
applied to the surface but does not form a coating like paint.
Instead, it soaks in and reacts with the free lime that's in
the concrete. Free lime is not evenly distributed, so the
treatment produces an attractive mottled effect.
You can use a single color, multiple colors, or mix colors on
the surface. Geometric patterns can be created by using a
diamond blade to score the slab prior to staining. The kerfs
can be grouted later on to create a surface that looks like it
was tiled. Free-form patterns can be created by masking off
portions of the slab and selectively staining the
Manufacturers recommend allowing new concrete to cure for two
to four weeks before staining. The slab should be carefully
cleaned before treating because surface contamination by oil or
drywall dust can mask the surface and keep the stain from
soaking in evenly. Check with the stain manufacturer before
using any cleaning solution on the slab. And whatever you do,
don't acid-etch it first because the acid will react with and
"use up" the free lime that's in the slab. The stain won't take
if there's nothing in the concrete for it to react with.
It's possible to acid-stain old concrete, but the results are
unpredictable because there's no telling what has gotten onto
or into the slab in the years since it was poured. In general,
colors are likely to be more intense on new material than on

Big Banks: Financial Losers
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC) was the loser among the largest U.S. financial names on Wednesday, with shares declining more than 5% to close at $8.68.
The broad indexes all pulled back over 1%, after China's first-quarter gross domestic product growth came in at an 8.1% annualized pace, slowing from 8.9% during the fourth quarter.
A market rally during the previous session had in part reflected whispers that China's first-quarter gross domestic product report would show a surprisingly strong annualized growth rate of 9%.
The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) declined over 3% to close at 47.18.JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) led off earnings season for the largest U.S. banks, and the reaction wasn't pretty despite above-consensus profits from both companies. JPMorgan Chase
JPMorgan's shares pulled back 4% on Friday to close at $43.21. The stock has now returned 31% year-to-date, following a 20% decline during 2011. The shares currently trade at eight times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $5.54. JPMorgan reported first-quarter earnings on a managed basis of $5.38 billion, or $1.31 per share, soundly beating the consensus estimate of $1.18, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. The company saw a strong recovery in trading revenue, to $4.66 billion in the first quarter, compared to $2.49 billion during a very difficult fourth quarter. Trading revenue was still down 8% year-over-year. JPMorgan also reported very strong first-quarter mortgage revenue of $2.01 billion, up from $725 million in the fourth quarter and a loss of $487 million during the first quarter of 2011. All of the large banks are expected to report relatively strong first-quarter mortgage volume and revenue, in part from President Obama's expanded Home Affordable Refinance Program, which allows certain mortgage loan borrowers to refinance their homes at the current low rates, no matter how much the value of the home has declined.

Point Park women win at Carnegie Mellon, 56-54, improve to 6-4 overall
Dec. 10, 2011
Kristen Veseleny had 11 points off the bench to key Point Parks' win. File photo by Chelsey Engel.
PITTSBURGH -- In the first game between the two nearby schools in 26 years, the Point Park University women's basketball team came away with a 56-54, non-conference victory at Carnegie Mellon University Saturday at Skibo Gymnasium.
Point Park (6-4, 1-0 AMC) jumped out to a 9-0 lead after five minutes, found itself trailing, 31-24, at the half and needed a key, second-half run to beat Carnegie Mellon (4-5).
The Pioneers improved to 10-2 all time versus the Tartans, and they are now 7-0 in games at CMU. Point Park's first-ever women's basketball game was a home loss to CMU in November 1978. The teams played 10 more times from 1978-85, but the last meeting before Saturday came on Dec. 6, 1985.
Emily Schartner, a junior guard from Finleyville, Pa., and a transfer from NJIT, led Point Park with 13 points and was 3 for 8 from 3-point range. The Ringgold High School product nailed two of her treys during Point Park's important, 13-0 run that gave it a 39-36 lead with 13:30 to go.
The Tartans then scored five quick points for a 41-39 edge with 11:51 to go, but Point Park's Maura McCaslin connected from the outside for a 42-41 advantage on the next possession. That basket came with 11:31 to go, and the Pioneers held the lead the rest of the way.
Point Park got some important separation, 54-49, with 3:08 left after Joncelyn Peterkin and Katresa Savisky scored inside and April Austin hit a jumper. Although the Pioneers did not make a field goal the final 3:08, they held on for the 56-54 win.
Kristen Veseleny, a senior guard/forward from Pleasant Hills, Pa., came up big with 11 points and seven rebounds off the bench. She joined Schartner as the only Point Park players in double figures after going 3 of 5 from the floor and a perfect 5 of 5 from the foul line.
Peterkin, a 6-2 center from West Mifflin, Pa., just missed a double-double and was a factor at both ends with nine points, 10 rebounds and four blocks. She helped hold Carnegie Mellon's leading scorer, post player Emily Peel, to four points and 10 rebounds. Peel averages 20 points and 10 boards per game.
Point Park pitched a shutout the first five minutes in taking its 9-0 lead as CMU started 0 for 6 from the field. But after taking a 16-8 advantage, Point Park went cold as the Tartans' 17-0 run resulted in a 25-16 lead for the home team.
Carnegie Mellon went on to lead, 31-24, at the half. Sixth man Gabrielle West ended up with 19 points, and she led the first-half comeback by nailing four treys the first 20 minutes. The Tartans made 7 of 13 treys the first half and finished 9 of 17 (53 percent) from distance.
Neither team shot well as CMU's 33-percent shooting narrowly edged Point Park's 32 percent. Carnegie Mellon was plagued by 28 turnovers compared to 16 for Point Park. CMU won the rebounding battle, 46-40.
Point Park will take this coming week off for final exams before visiting Pitt-Greensburg Saturday at 2 p.m. The Pioneers have upcoming home games versus La Roche (Dec. 20) and Rio Grande (Dec. 30).

A South Boston man convicted of drunk driving eight times was arrested again in the South End on Saturday night for allegedly driving drunk again.
Timonthy Davidson, 51, of South Boston was arraigned in court on Monday was held without bail and will remain behind bars until later this week, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley's office. Prosecutors are seeking to continue to hold him without bail as a "threat to the community."
According to prosecutors, Davidson was driving a rented 2004 GMC box truck at an excessive speed around 7 p.m. Saturday when he struck a Lincoln Navigator driven by a 48-year-old Rhode Island man at the intersection of JFK Surface Road and Lincoln Street. Davidson allegedly took off on the Expressway, while the driver of the other vehicle called 9-1-1 and followed Davidson until he stopped at a Mobil gas station on East Berkeley Street, prosecutors said.
When a responding Boston Police officer told Davidson to step out of the truck, he shouted that he "didn't have a shoe on" and retrieved an orthopedic walking boot from the passenger's seat. Inside the boot, prosecutors said, the officer discovered a half empty bottle of chocolate whipped crème flavored vodka. Both the officer and the victim noted a strong odor of alcohol coming from the truck's cabin, prosecutors said.
Davidson fell as he stepped out of the truck, striking his head on the pavement, police said. As he sat on the sidewalk, he repeatedly fell asleep and woke not knowing where he was, prosecutors said.
Davidson refused to take field sobriety tests and a blood alcohol test, prosecutors said.
Since 1980, Davidson has been found guilty of drunken driving eight times and had a ninth case continued without a finding, according to prosecutors. His most recent such conviction was in 2007, when Suffolk prosecutors indicted him and secured a 2½-year state prison sentence for a drunk driving case out of Dorchester; he has also been convicted in Brockton, Brookline, East Boston, Clinton, and Hingham.
Davidson was chard with operating under the influence of alcohol as a fifth or subsequent offense, operating after suspension, and leaving the scene of an accident causing property damage.

Let me be clear from the outset: I'm not here to argue about whether Obama's speech is good, bad, ugly; propaganda, motivation, or mind control. There are too many unproductive shouting matches going on about that elsewhere on the web. Missing from those shouting matches is reasoned discussion of what I think is a more important question with a much larger impact on what I do as a teacher.
The controversy about the broadcast of Obama's "work hard" speech has precipitated some interesting responses from school districts across the country, ranging from the superintendent of schools in Tempe saying all teachers shall show the address and parents are "not allowed" to opt out, to districts like mine who instructed teachers to get parent permission before showing the speech. These policies have an impact on classroom instruction--much more of an impact than the speech itself--because it brings up the question about how schools should handle politically charged and divisive content, and what the school's role is in mediating that content for students.
Many an educator who attempts to make content relevant will want to connect to current events. Whether its genetic engineering, military endeavors, alternative energies or health care, it is easy for a curriculum to turn into a volatile tinderbox, because these topics and others have clear political implications.
How should schools handle hot political topics?

What is Redmond Clay
Redmond Clay is a rare volcanic ash that is found in central Utah. The composition of this clay is unique in that it is high in sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite. This combination of properties makes it highly effective in:
Redmond Clay can be taken both internally or used externally. The following are different ways this amazingly diverse substance can benefit your life.
About Redmond Clay
Redmond Clay is an old "Home Remedy" that generations of people have used for a variety of ailments. Clay's origins are as old as the practice of putting a mud poultice on a bee sting. Geologically, Redmond Clay is volcanic ash that was deposited in sea water approximately 150 million years ago. Technically, Redmond Clay is a swelling-type sodium bentonite. Redmond Minerals brings this "clay of a thousand uses" to market in its natural state with no additives, chemicals or preservatives. The only processing it undergoes is crushing and screening.
Internal Uses:
Redmond Clay has been taken once or twice daily with or without food, as desired, by mixing 1 heaping tablespoon of the mixed gel in 1/2 glass of cold water or juice. There is no laboratory proof that Redmond Clay is effective for any internal disorders, but people have taken the clay on a full stomach for acid indigestion or heart burn for its cooling effect. Taking the clay on an empty stomach in the evening has been known to bring relief for ulcers. Some people have felt that its ability to absorb water is beneficial for constipation. In the same sense, it seems to absorb moisture thereby relieving diarrhea.
External Uses:
Mix the Redmond Clay with water to make a gel the consistency of mustard. Then apply the gel/paste directly on the skin for a drawing effect, as in the case of a bee sting, mosquito bite, boil, spider bite, stinging nettle, etc. If the clay is not covered it will dry out, and as it dries, you will feel it draw and pull. If you want a tightening effect, as in the case of a facial for acne, pimples, or minor cuts, leave it on until it is almost, but not totally dry, then remove. If you want a more cooling and soothing effect, as for burns or scrapes and bruises, cover the gel with a plastic covering or wet cloth so it won't dry out. To remove the clay pack, simply wash it off with water and a gentle rubbing motion. Do not reuse the clay pack. Other external uses have been as a talcum powder or a diapering powder.
Pre-Mix Ready To Use Gel:
Mix two parts water with one part Redmond Clay to make a gel or mud. You can use a blender or mixer to speed up the process or you can just shake or stir by hand and then wait 3-4 hours for the clay to activate. It should make a mud the consistency of mustard. If it seems too thin, add more clay. If it seems too thick add more water. Keep the gel in a covered, non-metallic container and it will not dry out and will not separate. It stores with or without refrigeration for an indefinite period. If it does dry out over prolonged storage, just add water and remix.

UPDATED: Magpies' captain Jermyn hoping to be fit for cup clash
6:13pm Saturday 27th October 2012 in Sport
MARK Jermyn remains confident he will be available to face Plymouth Argyle, despite fears he had sustained a fractured cheekbone in this afternoon's 2-1 defeat to Tonbridge Angels.
The county town captain clashed heads with Tom Davis in the first half and despite returning to the action, he looked to be in some distress.
Jermyn was substituted at the break, with the Magpies trailing to a Chris Piper double, and subsequently taken to hospital - which was later confirmed by boss Phil Simkin.
But since then, the skipper has ruled out a fracture, telling Echosport he has merely suffered heavy bruising.
During today's contest, Jon Garcia reduced the deficit with a superb effort just 20 seconds into the second period but the hosts were unable to find a leveller and so fell to their first home defeat of the campaign.
See Monday's Echosport for full report and reaction.
* Jamie Reid's loan from Exeter City has been extended by three days, allowing him to feature in the FA Cup match against Argyle.

|Peninsulas of Asia
|Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam
Indochina or Indo-China is a peninsula in Southeast Asia[1] lying roughly southwest of China, and east of India. The name has its would be origins in the French Indochine as a combination of the names of "India" and "China", referring to the location of the territory between those two countries, though the majority of people in the region are neither Chinese nor Indian. It is also referred to as Mainland Southeast Asia. The term may also be used in biogeography for the "Indochinese Region", a major biogeographical region within the Indomalaya ecozone.
The countries of mainland Southeast Asia received cultural influence from both India and China to varying degrees.[1] Some cultures, such as those of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand are influenced mainly by India with a smaller influence from China. Others, such as Vietnam, are more heavily influenced by Chinese culture with only minor cultural influences from India, largely via the Champa civilization that Vietnam conquered during its southward expansion.
The historical term French Indochina was a federation of French colonies and protectorates, respectively the three Vietnamese "Ky" of Cochinchina, Tonkin, and Annam, plus Laos and Cambodia. The subjects of the colony were not homogenous; rather, Indochina was a "separate entity, it was largely unrelated to the cultural, geographical, and racial elements which shaped the people and governments of its constituent parts".[2] However, the overall shape of the French Indochina greater colony was significantly influenced by key geographical factors (such as the Mekong river which was a focus of French exploration and which crosses all three countries) as well as by the political entities which existed at the time of French colonization, i.e. the empire or kingdoms of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, as well as those of adjacent China and Thailand with which France had to negotiate various border agreements with respect to French Indochina.
The territories of Indochina comprise the following:
- Cambodia
- Laos
- Vietnam
- Myanmar (formerly Burma—part of British India until 1937)
- Thailand (formerly Siam)
- Peninsular Malaysia (which geographically includes Singapore)
- Yunnan Province (China)
In biogeography the term Indochinese Region is used to mean a major biogeographical region in the Indomalaya ecozone, and also a phytogeographical floristic region in the Paleotropical Kingdom. It includes the native flora and fauna of all the countries above. The adjacent Malesian Region covers the Maritime Southeast Asian countries, and straddles the Indomalaya and Australasian ecozones.

PFW's Dan Arkush focuses on Vikings DRE Jared Allen vs. Seahawks OLT Russell Okung in the Vikings-Seahawks game Sunday in Seattle.
Kluwe's latest campaign for a cause isn't sitting well with his position coach. Vikings special teams coordinator Mike Priefer says Kluwe needs to "focus on punting and holding." Kluwe has been one of the most outspoken players in the NFL, taking up very public fights for gay marriage and against drunken driving this season. Priefer says "it's getting old."||||||| On Sunday against the Bears, Kluwe put a message over the Hall of Fame patch on his jersey that read "Vote Ray Guy" for the former Raiders punter. It was an effort to raise awareness that the Hall of Fame does not have a punter enshrined, and it cost Kluwe a $5,250 fine from the NFL. Priefer says wants Kluwe to concentrate on his job.
Kluwe says he's had enough with these replacement officials after watching them for three weeks of preseason games in a series of tweets following a 12-10 loss to San Diego on Friday.||||||| Referee Wayne Elliott's crew called 20 penalties in the game, including 14 against the Chargers. They had two calls overturned on review and several others that had players and coaches shaking their heads after the plays.
The Vikings signed Kluwe to a six-year contract extension today, locking him up through 2013, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.||||||| Kluwe ranks 14th in the NFL with an average of 44.2 yards per punt and leads the league with 18 punts inside the 20-yard line.
Kluwe will have reconstructive surgery later this month to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. The Vikings' rookie punter finished sixth in the NFL and second in the NFC with a 44.1-yard gross average this season. He injured the knee against the Detroit Lions on Dec. 4 and played through pain for the final three weeks of the season.|||||||
According to Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Tice, Kluwe will be forced to miss Sunday's matchup with the St. Louis Rams after spraining his ankle in last weekend's win over the Detroit Lions. The team will audition temporary replacements this week.||||||| Kicker Paul Edinger handled the team's punts following Kluwe's departure on Sunday, but the Vikings don't want to go that route again this week. In 12 games this season, Kluwe is averaging 45.3 yards on 58 boots.

I have N97 SDK installed on one machine. Unfortunately, I lost the setup files for the same and now want to install it on my other machine. With pathetic network condition in my area, I'm unable to download the setup again.
Will it work straight forward if I just copy paste the SDK directory(C:\S60devices\<N97 directory>
from one machine to other?
I'm doing the same but it's just not building. I have also copied the tools from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Symbian but it is not helping either. I guess I'm missing environment variable that are to be set? I'm setting EPOCROOT variable to point to C:\S60devices\<N97 directory>
Can someone please help.
