Mexico's 'presidential vote-rigging' controversy continues
Mexico's post-election controversy continues. The next president is likely to be Enrique Peña Nieto, with 38% of the vote - this after half the ballots cast in this month's election were recounted. But leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is refusing to concede defeat, gathering evidence that his adversary bought votes in the run-up to the election. He claims there were irregularities in three out of every four voting booths.

"World's Greatest Adventure Photographer." "Explorer of Light." These are the names of just some of the awards that Tyler Stableford has won during his distinguished career as an outdoor/adventure photographer. Those are titles just about any adventure photographer would be more than happy to have.
Sitting front and center at Tyler's lecture last night were regular IRIS Nights attendees, Vaughn Hart and Jack Weiss. The two have each been to over 47 sessions of the lecture series since it began two years ago!
Tyler presented his lecture, titled "Out There: Capturing the Dramatic Moment," and the rock-climbing enthusiast, explained just how he goes about capturing those dramatic images.
One technique he prefers is to aim his camera directly into the sun. Take a look at the breath-taking shot above!
Tyler loves using wide lenses in his photographs and has a lot of fun framing his subjects in his photographs.
Tyler spent some time talking about his experience photographing a coal mine in Colorado. Tyler recounted incredible stories of harrowing near-death episodes from the miners he photographed. Mining isn't just a dirty job, but a dangerous one!
Tyler touched upon the impact his photography has had on his personal live revealing that he and his wife, Megan, recently adopted a 9-month-old orphan from Ethiopia, a country in which he's shot some brilliant images.
Tyler screened the trailer to his short film, The Fall Line, which is about an injured Iraq War veteran whose mental and physical recovery involves the skiing slopes of Aspen, Colorado and his membership in the 2010 Paralympic ski team.
Tyler further lives up to his adventure reputation by photographing f-16 fighter jets and their pilots. Taking pictures in the sky - now that's adventurous!
Thanks for a great lecture, Tyler! We can't wait to see you capture more exciting images in the sky, below the ground and everywhere in between!
Watch Tyler's IRIS Nights lecture here (where you can also see the full trailer for The Fall Line) and learn more about him on his official site.

Parade marches Claflin in Saturday homecoming events
By HAVEN TULLOCH
The Claflin University homecoming parade started at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, kicking off a full day of events.
The parade route was along Russell Street to the Claflin University's gym parking lot.
Russell Street as well as Magnolia Street were blocked off from traffic to allow the parade to go on without any interruption.
High school marching bands and female dancers joined the parade and played their instruments as they walked.
There were a couple of floats for Miss Claflin University, the Homecoming Queen and others.
President Henry N. Tisdale and the first lady participated in the parade, waving and enjoying the celebration.
Fraternities, sororities, cheerleaders and alumni all merged together and walked in the parade to represent and spread the Claflin University pride.
Pep rally on plaza gets students ready for games By HAVEN TULLOCH
The crowed was live and full of spirit Friday evening on Panther Plaza at Claflin University.
There was a black commercial van that brought all of the music equipment and to add, there was a MC that controlled the crowed.
The pep rally started with music that got students in the spirit of homecoming. Dancing, socializing, hanging out and having fun was highly encouraged.
The Pep rally was used to get students and alumni pumped for the remaining days of homecoming and for the basketball games on Saturday.
In the middle of pep rally, the MC introduced the male and female basketball players. After the introduction, the cheerleaders did a cheer that would get the crowed going.
There were dance competitions being held, with the winner at the end of each competition getting a small prize.
There were giveaways being thrown all throughout pep rally including:
· Hats
· Shirts
· Balls, which had a special code for an even greater prize.
The comedians also asked students who wanted to participate in games with the guys on stage to go on social media and tweet #FFCSpickme.
One of the students that were brought on stage was our Student Activities Board Vice President, Dahlia Mallett and Mister HBCU 2014-2015, Anthony Hyland. One of the games they played was called 2 pictures, one word.
The Freestyle Funny crew kept the audience in stitches all night long. If you weren't there, you missed out on a whole lot of funny!

Claflin University is nearing a week-long celebration of its 145th anniversary – and student involvement is being stressed. Assistant Vice President of Communications Charlene Slaughter and Student Activities Board President Shaketa Maiden addressed this year's Homecoming, which begins Nov 16 and concludes Nov. 22. Big emphasis is placed on Founders' Day, which this year will include a special tribute to groups that made contributions to the university. Also, families that have left behind a legacy of children or grandchildren will be honored. "This year's Homecoming will bring about new energy," Maiden said. Maiden stressed getting students more involved than ever in Homecoming events and festivities this year. "Homecoming would be nothing without alumni and Claflin's students," Slaughter said. Maiden stressed that student recommendations are always taken into consideration when planning Homecoming events while noting that the Student Activities Board has specific rules and a budget to follow. All student requests cannot be honored. "There will be a combo ticket," Maiden said. "However, day events are not included in the combo ticket, along with the Greek step show." The events that are included on the combo ticket are:
The combo ticket is $20. Students that do not buy the combo ticket, but without it they pay individually for every event they wish to attend. The Greek Step Show has its own fee of $15 to be paid at the cashier's office in advance. The cost is $20 by 5 p.m. at the door before the show.

Yes we've begun a new month with expectations for something new and exciting. Well there is the issue of money. While some of us would be smiling all the way to the bank as its pay day, some of us are also doing extensive room cleaning just to find a few quarters. Money is a word frequently popping up in every one's mind, but is money really important? Well they say money is the root of evils however, in today's world, almost everything centers on money. You can't go anywhere or do anything without money. I sometimes think back to how first money started, when people way back in the days just exchanged goods. Some parts of the world actually used big stones as money. Weird huh? I am still trying to figure out how a simple printed piece or a piece of metal became so valuable. So if money was not important or needed, would you be in college or would you still chase your dreams? Well for me all I would need is a few lessons in geography and cultures of the world then I am good to go. I would just jump onto a plane free and go to where ever I want to go, buy whatever I want(mmm not actually buy just pick anything from a shop ) and do whatever. However come to think of it, people are motivated by the prospect of making money, so if money wasn't important, would the world be how it is now? Well we would never really know, would we? For me all I want is enough money to live comfortably and still pursue my dreams. To those lucky ones who have received their pay checks and are regular visitors to Pizza Hut, Zaxbys, McDonalds and the like, this month wouldn't even come to end and you would be running back to the cafeteria. But that's none of my business though, this tea taste great, must be from Japan, lol.
Surprise me November……..
Ms. Annette Grevious began the coronation by informing students, faculty, staff and family of Lia Holman of the purpose of this event. The royal court and other queens of campus clubs and organizations were introduced, along with gentlemen who accompanied them to the stage. The girls, decked in their sparkling black or red dresses, danced and welcomed the audience to peek into Lia's unique and queenly version of Broadway, and the audience accepted that invitation. Lia was revealed, being the pinnacle of beauty in her jewel-studded white gown, standing center stage in front of a seat fit for a queen. After being presented with her crown, Miss Claflin University sash and scepter by our very own President Dr. Henry Tisdale, Holman took her throne and the program continued with performances dedicated especially to her. The audience was serenaded with songs and exhilarating dances by C.U's very own new Motown, Supremes, Temptations and Michael Jackson reincarnated. Miss Claflin herself took the microphone and sang. Receiving a standing ovation, Holman humbly thanked the audience for their support. Dillion Isaac, the president of SGA, briefly took the stage, speaking highly of Lia and describing her as a "woman of distinction defined by her elegance and contribution to her University." Isaac continues by saying "She epitomizes the ideals of Claflin University and embodies the stature, fortitude, pride and capability of Claflin. Congratulations Lia!"

Senior, English major, Ta'Shae Sterling has published her first book, entitled A Walking Contradiction. Sterling wrote the book within a four year time span. The novel is self-help book with information on bettering ourselves. "Basically, it's about everybody having the potential to better themselves, instead of living day to day, being rude to people, and setting goals and dreams, but not doing any actions to move forth and accomplish them, I'm saying stop procrastinating, and start being a better version of yourself now today. So I give step-by-step guiding help, and I hope that it's very helpful for everybody," Sterling said. Sterling recalls having a niche for writing since the third grade. "I guess I've always had a natural passion for writing," Sterling recalls. Sterling received the inspiration for writing this book simply from watching the world news. "For example, baby formula was being contaminated, and I'm like, 'This is crazy. What kind of world are we living in?' However, I cannot say we're living in a bad world, because at the same time, people are having fundraisers every other day trying to raise some awareness for something positive, so therefore, I was trying to realize that life as we know it is really a walking contradiction, so that was my inspiration," Sterling explained. Sterling has plans of publishing more novels in the future, and is currently working on two. Sterling's advice for other young aspiring writers is: "I remember reading somewhere, 'If you want to write a book, then just do it.' I partially agree with that statement, because I feel that you can do whatever you want to do as long as you put your mind to it, and do it, but also own your talents and skills. If that's what you truly want to do, then go take some classes. Go write something, and give your work out to other people with opinions that you value, so you can better your craft. So I wouldn't say, 'If you want to write a book, then just do it.' I would say, 'Write it. Let the people with valued opinions read it, critique it, and that's how you write a book.'"
Senior Business major, Michael Devore from Hampton, SC was the mastermind behind the winning idea of last year's Shark Tank Business Competition.
Michael's business concept was entitled, "InstaPrintz," which is now known as "InstaPrinture."
InstaPrinture allows you to print anywhere at any time using Smart phones without the need of a costly printer. The software component of InstaPrinture has a unique advertising feature for local businesses, international businesses, and universities that can allow 100% of their advertisements to be seen by their targeted customers.
"InstaPrintz previously had another company who manufactured shirts with the same name, so I wanted people to be able to search 'InstaPrinture' and see us as the first thing that pops up," Devore said.
Over the summer and after last year's competition, Devore got to work on improving the technology for his business.
"This year, I have a lot of new things to showcase for InstaPrinture, and applications for students to be able to use it, so I might be pivoting the InstaPrinture business a little bit, but it's still a lot of the same technology that has been improved drastically, and I want people to see the possibility of having prototypes this year," Devore explained.
The $5000 grand prize from 2014's business competition was divided by four. Each of Devore's teammates invested $250 into the business. Those expenses went to website development, new business cards and new t-shirts.
After graduation, Devore plans to keep pursuing the perfection of InstaPrinture technology. He also plans to attend graduate school to learn more about technology, how to build different websites, and obtain fundamental knowledge.
"I also plan to keep putting the technology in different business competitions, working on getting it patented and everything finalized, so after I get out of graduate school, I can turn it into a full fledged business, or maybe even start some partnerships with technology companies that are interested in the technology."
Devore's advice to incoming freshmen and fellow business majors is to think outside of the box.
"Everyday, we see new businesses that are emerging that didn't exist yesterday. For example, we have Candy Crush and SnapChat. We have all of these apps that may seem small, but are worth billions of dollars. If you're going to join the Business Competition with plans to compete, I encourage each of you to not be scared. Pitch your idea, no matter how crazy it may seem. If you believe in something, be passionate about it, and showcase it in front of these judges, because at the end of the day, it's going to feel very rewarding when people see what you see; and you've helped these people realize, 'Hey! There's a better way to do things' or 'I've never thought about that before!' You'll be so happy that you got up there, participated and had fun doing what you love to do."
Claflin's second annual business competition will be held February 9, 2015. The university's Microsoft App Competition is November 12-14, 2014.

Claflin University welcomed a poet, writer, activist, educator and icon.
The event on Oct 16 in the Moss Auditorium W.V. Middleton Fine Arts Center was open to the public, where the guest speaker graced everyone with her presence. It was none other than Nikki Giovanni. Giovanni's knowledge and clever wit won the hearts of everyone in the room. She spoke about topics that are affecting the African-American community, especially the police violence that has been happening all over the world.
"As a cop, you ought to be strong enough to say, 'I don't need a gun, I have authority.' No one on earth needs power and authority; you do one or the other," Giovanni said.
Giovanni stressed the importance of getting a passport. She said young African-Americans need to take the time to travel and learn about history.
Being an African-American woman, she also expressed her thoughts on slavery. Giovanni said African-American people can't look at slavery as if they were white, they must see if from a black perspective.
"Something good had to have come out of it because we are black and we know something good comes out of everything. The skills that they learned (slaves) under horrific circumstances, they learned that whatever it is, a song will soothe it."
Giovanni stressed the importance of voting and getting an education. She told the young college students in the audience, "Extend yourselves, to find a way to create and to add to what these wonderful ancestors gave to us," she said.
Giovanni also read some of her special pieces of poetry such as:
· "Quilting the Black Eyed Pea (We're Going to Mars)"
· "The Spirit of Martin"
· "That Day"
Giovanni took everyone down memory lane and talked about her relationship with the late Maya Angelou. She then ended her speech with one of her famous poems, "Ego-Tripping (there may be a reason why)."
After the event, senior biology major Kacy Haynes said, "She was truthful, raw, something we needed to hear. She was very straightforward, very honest and true. It was a great experience!"

New York, London, Paris and now Orangeburg, SC, fashion week has arrived. Our very own Panther athletes ripped the orange and maroon runway Wednesday night. The show opened up with a bang, smoke and the Panther Dolls. The dancers brought tons of energy to the gymnasium as the crowd anxiously waited for the models to walk the runway. Our athletes mean business as they strut down the runway in their best business attire. The women were dressed for success in their pantsuits, leather pencil skirts and briefcases. The men followed with well-tailored suits, bow ties, and their finest dress shoes. The school spirit and athletic set followed. The models were dressed in traditional orange and maroon with a twist. Leather skater skirt, platform booties, and a fringed Claflin shirt win best dress at this school function.
After the models heated up the runway, Claflinite Kevin Walls performed a melody of Chris Brown songs to slow down the show. After Kevin's soulful performance the models took, the crowd back in time with the vintage category. Flower Power ruled the runway with floral print sheer bell-bottoms and denim overalls. Then, the En Veux Modeling Company came to show the crowd how to really rip the runway as they sashayed down the runway in killer heels and denim shorts made by fellow Claflinite Kashayla Bennett, Owner of Savage Denim Company. Kristen Murdock (Beyoncé) then took over the outfit on fleek (urban wear) category with her all black ensemble; she was defiantly flawless in this look. Next, the athletes displayed their best kicks in the sneaker head category, which featured everything from Jordan's to Kevin Durant's and even a pair of leopard print Adidas. The show ended with the swimsuit set. The guys flexed their muscles in swim trunks and flip-flops and the ladies showed the crowd how to rock a white monokini to the beach.
The Claflin Athletes truly ripped the panther runway. A great show with a great crowd was definitely the best way to kick off fashion week in panther town. The next show is the Mister and Misses Junior Fashion Show Friday October 10, 2014 at 7pm in WVM Auditorium.

Former rapper, actor, Grammy Award winning music producer, activist and philanthropist, David Banner joined SGA president, Dillon Isaac, and Entrepreneur Lifestyle Expert, Aaron Paxton Arnold on a panel at the College Completion (Town Hall Meeting) at the UNCF Empower Me Tour. Banner, Isaac, and Arnold shared the many obstacles faced while traveling on their road to success. "If you're faithful to your vision, God will reward you," Arnold said. "It's not how you start. It's what you do along the journey." When Arnold presented Banner to the audience, Banner immediately explained to students that people get paid for what they know. "If you don't say nothing, you don't get the money. I want you to understand how important education is," Banner stressed. Banner explained that initially, the only reason he went to college was for his mother. His first two years of college were a blur, due to being constantly inebriated. "I then realized the things that I knew would bring me money," Banner said. He began to excel academically, with a GPA skyrocketing to a 3.9987. Banner shared that he too was an SGA president of his alma mater, Southern University in Baton Rouge, LA. In a separate interview with student journalists, Banner revealed that he never knew that God would take him on the path that He did. "The things that I've done, I wouldn't have ever been able to imagine traveling around the world…I used to beg for people to listen to my opinion. They're all just opinions. For people to want to pay for them, and be excited about me coming is just amazing," Banner explained. David Banner is also the CEO of his own multimedia company called, Banner Vision. The company provides services such as, scoring music, making sounds, consulting, shooting commercials, visuals, graphics, and audio arts. "I had a vision. If we don't have respect for our images, how can we expect somebody to?" Banner expressed that he is extremely humbled that the UNCF wants to hear his message. "I'm honored that the UNCF finds what I believe in valid, because I know what I believe in is revolutionary." Banner wanted to leave Claflin students with the message to learn as much as you can. "Thirst for knowledge the same way you thirst for air in your lungs, but until that point you are not ready. In order for these students to be free, they must thirst for knowledge like the last breath in their lungs. We have all of these books, all of these people from different parts of the world now. Knowledge is global. We learn from each other. Take advantage of the blessings we have in front of us."

Female students of Claflin University and female high school students from surrounding areas filled the auditorium in the W.V. Middleton Fine Arts Center for the "Girl Talk: Imagine A Future" work shop during the UNCF Empower Me Tour. The work shop was hosted by author, award-winning political strategist, women's activist, and lifestyle expert, Valeisha Butterfield-Jones. "When you find strength in yourself and in your sisters (other women), you can create a very powerful relationship with other women that can help you overcome challenges," Jones said. Other panelists were Miss Claflin University, Lia Holman and Mrs. Janette Williams, assistant principal of North Vista Elementary School of South Carolina's Florence District One. Panelists interacted with students by touching on topics like, inner beauty, outer beauty, and the role it plays in females' everyday lives. "I feel the pressure of looking a certain way every day because I'm Miss Claflin University. I have to represent the university in a certain light," Lia Holman said. "You have to set your own standard of beauty. Love who you are and accept what you have." Students of the audience shared their experiences with bullying and what they love and would change about themselves. "If you don't know who you are, you will become what they say you are," Jones said. The panelists closed by opening up the floor for students to ask any questions about clothes, complexions, and physical figures. "You are more than just your body. Don't let anyone define you by how big your rear end is, or how tiny your waist it. Let them know that you have a brain, a personality, and that there's whole lot more to you than what they look at whenever you walk through that door," Williams closed.
PR Campaigns & Management students strategize to rebrand Mass Comm Dept
By PRINCESS B. WILLIAMS The Panther
Public Relations Campaigns and Management students are in the process of strategizing a PR plan to rebrand the Claflin University Mass Communications Department. Students have taken the first step to kicking off their campaign by having a formal interview with the chairperson of Mass Communications, Dr. Donna Gough, and planning events. "We want everyone on Claflin's campus to know who we are," senior Tevin Rice said. "I'm very excited about this campaign for the Mass Comm Department. I believe it's long overdue for reconstruction," senior Jayla McCaw said. After the campaign, PR students hope to gain an even bigger voice on campus and for everyone to have a clear understanding of what the Mass Communications Department is all about.

There are a lot benefits to eating healthier and exercising that people may not know. Eating something healthy each day and getting a bit of exercise can daily or even a few times a week can really benefit your health. Eating foods such as fruits, vegetables or even a salad to your daily meal can make a difference. Some of the benefits of eating healthier and exercising besides getting in shape is that it can give you more energy, it has a positive effect on moods and will help you feel more relaxed and helps boost immune systems.
Throughout the day, feel exhausted, like you don't have any energy? It's probably because you are not getting enough of your daily vitamins and minerals that you would get from eating vegetables. Eating vegetables or even adding a salad to your meal can make a difference in your day and can even give you more energy throughout the day.
Eating healthy and exercising has a positive effect in your mood in various ways. The Mayo Clinic notes that physical activity stimulates brain chemicals that often leave you feeling both happier and more relaxed. Eating a healthy diet as well as exercising can lead to a better physique, so you may also feel better about your appearance, which can boost your confidence and self-esteem. Research shows that when people eat healthier instead of unhealthier, they tend to be in better moods.
Eating Healthy and exercising can help prevent certain health conditions such as stroke, some types of cancer, high blood pressure and heart disease by boosting high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or the "good," cholesterol and decreasing unhealthy triglycerides. Eating vegetables and fruits rich in potassium as part of an overall healthy diet may lower blood pressure and can also reduce the risk of developing kidney stones. Eating foods such as vegetables that are lower in calories per cup instead of some other higher-calorie food may be useful in helping to lower calorie intake.
"Healthy eating" is a lifestyle, and is not a diet. It means making changes you can live with and enjoy for the rest of your life. Diets are temporary and you give up so much when you diet. You may be hungry and think about food all the time then after you stop dieting, you also may overeat to make up for what you missed. So I encourage everyone to start living a little more healthy, it can make a big difference in your life.
On Wednesday, 24 September 2014, the International Student Association, in conjunction with Ms. Jarvis, the counselor in student Support Services, held the annual "Different Faces, Different Cultures" program at Minister's Hall to celebrate faculty, staff and student diversity on campus. The enlightening program started promptly at 7:30 and had such an abundance of students in the audience that the room's capacity limit may have come into question. The Hall was filled with sitting and standing students whose eyes were glued to the stage and whose noses were directed to the containers of food at the back. The program began with the infamous "country walk." Students from approximately 20 countries and at least 10 different states paraded their colorful flags for the audience to see. Next, we were entertained with exciting dances from Nigeria, India, Brazil and Jamaica. The audience was then serenaded with songs from the Nepali and Chinese students who sang in their native languages. Finally, the long-awaited foods were shared. Most of these dishes were cooked and brought by our own international faculty members who attended the program with their families and decked in their native wear. The foods included gulab jamun, stewed chicken, curried chicken with chick peas and many more foods and deserts. All in all, the audience as well as the international student enjoyed an entertaining program and left with their hearts and their bellies full.
The official color of Alopecia Awareness month in no way reflected what type of month September was. Although September has officially come to a close, its liveliness is still remembered and more importantly, Alopecia awareness lives on.
During this month, many students on campus learned about Alopecia, a condition that causes either partial or total head or body baldness in women and men.
The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. was the only student organization on campus that supported this cause. The sorority held a forum to raise awareness on September 29, 2014 in the Multi-purpose room. The Zetas invited a guest speaker, Ms. Faith Spells, to speak about the condition, and adopted the slogan "Celebrate Alopecia Month with our Alopecia Beauties!"
Allison Pickering, a Junior Biology major, who is Alopecian and was also invited by the Zetas to speak about her experiences, spoke out about Alopecia and the strength of the people who live with this condition. She commends the support she got from the Zetas.
Pickering states that "This cause is important because even though Alopecia is not a life-threatening disorder, it is life-altering for those living with it. There are too many people suffering in the silence of their emotions. The more people can become aware of the condition, the more these bonds of silence can be broken."

Campus changes go
beyond new dorm,
include security cameras,
Durant says
By TAYLOR HARRIS and HAVEN TULLOCH The Panther
Dr. Leroy Durant held a news conference with Mass Communications students on Sept. 16 to discuss progress on campus, including what he described as a lot of changes.
He opened by announcing the finishing touches on the new dorm Claflin Commons.
"On Sept. 15th, we allowed the students to move into the Claflin Commons," Durant said, noting that the move actually began the Friday before on Sept. 12.
"We wanted to be complete with the Commons before the summer break ended. But due to the weather … and materials not arriving on time, it delayed completion of the project," Durant said.
The Commons is expected to be completely finished by the end of September, including landscaping and development of a courtyard to include benches and trees, Durant said.
Claflin wants this to be a "building that uplifts Goff Street," said Durant, vice president for student development and services.
Durant addressed the related issue of campus changes impacting parking.
"More parking has been opened down Goff Avenue. To enter, you must enter in off of Goff Avenue, or enter through the gym parking lot," Durant said.
Twenty on-street parking spots were eliminated off Goff Avenue, but elimination of Millwod Apartments and a few trees tripled that amount of parking, he said.
Three speed bumps will also be placed near high rise and farther down the street to help make it safer for students and pedestrians moving to and from their living areas and parking places, Durant said.
On the topic of security, Durant said security cameras being put in place will be monitored 24 hours a day by Clafin Public Safety. There will be 15-20 cameras operating on campus in four general areas: Kliest Hall, West, Highrise and Jonas T. Kennedy Center.
Ten emergency phones will also be operational on Claflin's campus, Durant said.
Plus an escort service has begun under the supervision of Claflin Public Safety. Escorts are available from 7 p.m.-midnight.
"We want to have more eyes watching for the safety of the campus," Durant said.

Bill Cosby joins Claflin University to celebrate
20 years of presidency with Dr. & Mrs. Henry N. Tisdale
By PRINCESS B. WILLIAMS Panther Editor
Dr. President Henry N. Tisdale and Mrs. Alice Carson Tisdale were honored with an evening of tributes at the Visionary Leadership Gala at the Columbia Metropolitan Center in Columbia on Sept. 18.
Student journalists, WLTX News and Orangeburg's Times and Democrat were granted an interview with Dr. and Mrs. Tisdale, the legendary comedian Dr. Bill Cosby, and Master of Ceremonies Orangeburg's very own Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for The Washington Post Eugene Robinson before the gala commenced.
"An education does reward if you try for it, and if you have the proper encouragement," Cosby said.
The comedian is a firm and strong supporter of education that has donated millions of dollars to historically black colleges and universities all over the country.
"Many HBCUs struggle to reach certain numbers in terms of monetary gifts … We [wife, Mrs. Cosby] believed that that number would in fact cause others to believe that they too can donate," Cosby said.
"You all are super special. This school was not founded so we could smoke dope on the weekday and the weekend. It wasn't founded so our children can come here and get drunk and fall in the bushes, throw up on themselves or wear their pants all down like they've been in prison first. I'm celebrating tonight," Cosby said. "I want all of you to realize where you sit tonight and the spirit that embraces you."
Tributes from the board of trustees and Gov. Nikki Haley were presented to Dr. and Mrs. Tisdale, marking 20 years as Claflin president and first lady.
Haley presented the Tisdales with the highest civilian honor in the state of South Carolina, The Order of the Palmetto.
Since arriving in 1994, here are a few of Dr. and Mrs. Tisdale's visions that became reality:
*Alice Carson Tisdale Honors College
*Presidential Scholars Program
*Study Abroad Program
*Leadership Development Program
*Leadership Alliance Program
*Career Development Center
*Visionary Leadership Institute
*DNA Forensics Science Lab
*Claflin Commons Dormitory
*Top 10 rankings in national reports.
"Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for believing in Claflin," First Lady Tisdale said.
Students make career,
internship contacts at annual event
By HAVEN TULLOCH The Panther
The Annual Career Fest was held Thursday, Sept. 18, in the Jonas T. Kennedy Center. The Career Fest was open from 9 A.M. to noon and was available for students of all classification types. Some companies were doing on-the-spot interviews for students who are anticipating graduation in December. "I had a scheduled interview with Enterprise Rent-A-Car today at 10:45 a.m.. It was nerve-racking, but I feel I did all right," a graduating senior said. A majority of the companies were targeting junior and senior students. Companies offering internships were targeting mainly sophomores and juniors, so they can get some experience under their belts. "I introduced myself to SYNNEX, but they told me to come back next year when I am a junior and they would give me more information on open positions. But they pushed me to look at internships offered online," said Jamira Stewart, sophomore. Companies all around the gym accepted resumes and student information such as social media and email contact information. Representatives also urged students to go online and apply for available positions.
The Annual Career Fest was held Thursday, Sept. 18, in the Jonas T. Kennedy Center. Among those at the Claflin University Fall Career Fest were ABC Columbia. According to Panther reporter Taylor Harris, the station's Chief Photojournalist Rich Wandover said, "We are here to help recruit but to also help educate. Other vendors included AFLAC, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Enterprise, the U.S. Army and the S.C. Highway Patrol. (Panther photos by Princess Williams)
'Laser Tag on the Yard'
Claflin University's Student Activity Board hosted Panther Fest and HBCU Week from Sept. 21-27. On Tuesday evening, the SAB provided an event called "Laser Tag on the Yard" from 7-11 p.m. SAB also provided music and food for the students while they enjoyed the event. Panther Fest is an annual week-long festival at Claflin during which the university holds daily events for students. Here's a link to photos from Laser Tag. The images are by Andres Waters of The Panther and first appeared in at TheTandD.com, the website of The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg: http://thetandd.com/news/laser-tag-on-the-yard/collection_0b3c00ee-4396-11e4-bed4-dfa6708441b6.html#0
En Veux returns
at Panther Fest pep rally
By TYLER M. JACKSON The Panther
En Veux returned at the 2014-15 Panther Fest pep rally held on Thursday, Sept. 25, from 6-9 p.m. in the Jonas T. Kennedy Physical Education center. En Veux is a modeling troupe created by one of Claflin's very own in the year of 2003. But En Veux has been off of the yard for about two years, returning to campus this year. The anticipation was high for this return and En Veux set the tone for the rest of the night. "We have waited for the return of En Veux since my sophomore year. They did great and we are happy to have them back on the yard," senior Sierra Youngblood said. The pep rally is one of the main events held during Panther Fest and the gym was packed full of students, faculty, staff and members of the community. President Dr. Henry Tisdale spoke and urged studenst to "support our athletics department as they lead us to SIAC victory." This event was hosted by the Student Activities Board. After the pep rally, Midnight Breakfast was being held in the cafe starting at 10 p.m. and a meltdown social was held in the plaza as well. Panther Fest is being held in conjunction with HBCU Week this year.

Panthers represent their cities in talent show
By CHRISTOPHER BOWMAN The Panther
The "Rep Your City" Talent Show kicked off the daily Panther Fest festivities on Monday, Sept. 22. Various students from cities in Michigan, Missouri, Virginia, South Carolina, plus those from Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, represented their home towns with forms of talent such as singing, the spoken word and rapping. Students such as senior class member Gibson Najee enjoyed the show in its entirety. "It was better than the last three years that I've attended," he said. "I actually had fun at a talent show this time," junior class member Matthew Boone said. "My favorite performer was the rapper from Philly. He had the crowd hype." But senior Daniel Simmons said, "As a whole the performers were good. I thought it was boring, though, because the crowd is biased at times and doesn't give certain talented people a chance to showcase themselves." Tiyona Council and Larry Wells hosted the show and kept the crowd engaged with music and dances that got people out of their seats, thanks to the music played by DJ Rell. The crowd energy was live and the tone was set for the rest of the week of Panther Fest.
Students making move
into Claflin Commons
By PRINCESS WILLIAMS and ANDRES WATERS The Panther
A week after President Henry N. Tisdale told students at Matriculation Day of a projected Sept. 12 date for students to begin occupying the university's new dorm, Claflin Commons, the moving got underway in earnest on Friday. Students who have been temporarily housed off-campus in hotels were the first to move into the dorm, which Claflin had hoped would be ready when the semester began in August. "The day is finally here," senior Christina Davis said. "I'm so happy to be in my own room! I need my space!" The $12 million, 64,000-square-foot dorm features four-bedroom and two-bedroom suites that will house up to 200 students. The four-bedroom suites feature a large living area (with a community sink, tables, chairs, and a couch), two showers and four bathroom sinks. Each room features a desk and chair for the student as well as storage for clothes and other personal items. The two-bedroom suites feature a much smaller living area (with a community sink, a small table and two chairs), but the bedrooms in these suites are slightly bigger than those in the four-bedroom suites. These will also feature a desk and chair as well as storage for clothes and other personal items. "Each wing will have card access locks accessible only by residents and will feature its own elevator, laundry room, computer lab and informal study areas. The wings will be connected by a shared student commons area that will include the main entry to the building and a fitness center. Open gathering spaces and high ceilings will allow for lots of natural light and a seminar room will be available for student meetings," the university said in a news release on Aug. 25. Inside the Commons is a new fitness center for students that consists of two separate rooms (one specified for weightlifting, the other for cardio). The rooms will be open for those who live in the Commons 24/7. Those students who do not live in the dorm will have specified hours of availability. The Commons will also feature new plazas and courtyards that will provide additional outdoor gathering spaces for students. Work on the dorm's landscape is ongoing.

Is the Commons
too common?
By CRYSTAL PAYNE The Panther
On Sept. 12 and 13, students moved from their holding spots all over campus (and off campus) to Claflin University's new dormitory, the Commons.
There had been wild rumors for months as to what was really inside the Commons. Some said "kitchens in every suite," others "a Starbucks," or "a gym!"
When the day of realization came, did the Commons really live up to its legends?
Emynee Garett, a senior who moved into the Commons, explained that "the lack of storage space and the small rooms will definitely take getting used to," but she still had positive comments about the dorm overall, stating that she liked its "modern design, abundant counter and cabinet space and individual sinks."
Another Commons resident, Jessica Hunter, a junior mass communications major, said, "I really like the Claflin Commons. The decorations and colors are lovely and enticing. Also, I admire the 24-hour gym service. A bigger closet would be nice, but all in all, the dorm is beautiful!"
The new building stands tall, now filled with students, juniors and seniors, especially. Residents seem to be happy with having their own spaces so impeccably decorated.
"It looks like a mini hotel," said Gyasi Julien, a junior accounting major. He took the tour a couple weeks ago and saw it firsthand.
Many of the legends have been proven false: only the manager suites and what should have been residential assistant suites have kitchens, instead of all suites; there is NO Starbucks (sorry, coffee lovers); and there is a small fitness center instead of a grand gym. Nevertheless, students are overall content with the Commons.
It seems like it is not too common after all.
Claflin students react to Ray Rice's NFL suspension
By PRINCESS B. WILLIAMS The Panther
The domestic violence scandal with NFL's Baltimore Ravens' running back Ray Rice has been stirring up lots of chatter around campus. Footage of 27-year-old Rice punching, knocking unconscious and dragging the limp body of his then-fiance and now-wife from an elevator has leaked. Many say the athlete should be indicted. The NFL has suspended the football player indefinitely. Here's what a few Claflin students had to say about the NFL's punishment of the running back: * "I honestly don't think the NFL is wrong for Rice's punishment," sophomore Curtis Patterson said. "He knows he's famous. He should be careful of his actions, especially in public. Therefore, he should be able to take responsibility for his actions," Patterson said. * "Rice is a brand. His actions reflect not only himself, but the NFL as well. Rice should accept the consequences. If the NFL allows Rice to continue to play, it is as if they're accepting domestic violence," sophomore Joyce Brown said. * "The NFL should try to work with Rice, and get him some anger management. I don't think they should have suspended him indefinitely, because now he doesn't have anything to fall back on," senior Ashley Mitchell said. "However, I do understand why the NFL would not want to uphold the image of being supportive of domestic violence." * "I feel like they shouldn't take his career. Suspension for a few games is fine, but don't take his whole career over a mistake. It's the fact that Rice is a superstar, so they feel like he should get the ultimate punishment," S.C. State senior Anthony Coleman said. Rice's wife, Janay Palmer is standing firmly by her husband during this matter. "To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing," she wrote in an Instagram post. "To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass off for all his life just to gain ratings is a horrific (sic)," Palmer said.

Claflin remembers 9-11
By JUSTIN A. WHITE The Panther
On Sept. 11, 2014, 13 years after 9/11, Claflin University held a memorial service and silent walk to remember the terrorist attacks on our nation. The service honored the thousands of men and women who lost their lives and gave praise to those who served and protected us. The silent walk recognized that all people were affected by 9/11. Capt. Ed Conner, a 30-year veteran of the Orangeburg Department of Public Safety, was in attendance. He said that during the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, he was working in his office when someone came in and told him to turn on the television to the news, which was showing the attacks in New York as they unfolded. Connor said he was shocked when he saw airliners hit the first tower and then the second. The Claflin service is an appropriate remembrance and shows gratitude to those commemorating 9/11, Connor said. He prays for his friends and family members who were affected by the events of the tragic day. Claflin sophomore Xavier Black attended the service because he wanted to show respect for his father, who was in the Pentagon during the attack on 9/11. "I don't remember. I didn't even know my father was there when it happened and when I found out later on in life, it hurt me a lot," Black said. He said the Claflin ceremony was to the point and respectful. Steve Gibson came from the Orangeburg community to remember 9/11, praising Claflin for holding the event. He was at a nursing home with his mother on 9-11 and watched all of the events unfold on television. He said he remembers clearly everything that happened. During the silent walk by Claflin students, senior and Student Government Association President Dillon Isaac said he wanted to pay homage to those who lost their lives during the attacks. He said that when he was younger, he didn't understand the magnitude of what happened on that day. Now he wants to keep the memory fresh for the next generation so it will remember those fallen heroes. "It happened when I was at recess and I was playing outside," Isaac said. "My third-grade teacher called my class inside to watch the news and we all watched it happen." Shaketa Maiden, also a senior at Claflin and the person in charge of the silent walk, said, "I really appreciated that people showed up. I really wanted to show my respect to those people who were affected by this tragedy and the people who lost their lives because of it."

I am now coming around to the view that the Pentax K-r is better than all of those and as it is now selling for about £400 with kit lense has got to be the bargain of the century. Has anyone on this Forum bought one of these? If so, how do you find it?

Why Linus Torvalds tolerates and distributes this I have no idea. He surely has some rationale buried in a LKML flamewar somewhere, but it doesn't change the
fact that there is clearly non-Free code in the Linux kernel.
A little over three years ago BLAG made a commitment[2] to RMS to only distribute software that met the Free Software Definition. Since then, I have
learned about the issues with the non-Free Linux kernel (IIRC around the time gnewsense popped up). I kept punting the issue hoping it would just go away and
upstream would solve it. They haven't and the blobs remained in the kernel.
After talking to Jaromil from dynebolic, looking at the gnewsense approach (which has to remove additional non-free blobs that ubuntu adds), and debian's
approach I felt a single clean source tarball would be of benefit to everyone who wants a truly Free Linux kernel. This new cleaned kernel source has been
dubbed "linux-libre" and I am its janitor. It is available here:
If you actually go there, you'll see a TESTING directory--currently that is where the tarballs are stored, but once everything is finalized they'll be in
the main directory. One issue I wanted to settle before moving things from TESTING was a version numbering system that we could live with long term. I have settled on the following approach, which is subject to change if anyone comes up with good objections: I'm adding a last digit to show the "libre" release based on the upstream kernel. Examples:
Linus version Linux Libre version
2.6.24 220.127.116.11.0 first libre release
2.6.24 18.104.22.168.1 second libre release
184.108.40.206 220.127.116.11.0 first libre release
22.214.171.124 188.8.131.52.1 second libre release
220.127.116.11 126.96.36.199.5 sixth libre release
So the latest linux-libre release is 184.108.40.206.1--my second spin based on upstream's 220.127.116.11. In sum, the last digit is mine, the previous digits match
The `deblob` script used to clean the kernel is in the scripts/ directory of the tarball and can be used to clean other kernels.
Now that there is a nice tarball to use as a base, BLAG will be building it's own kernels based upon that and not distributing any Fedora kernels. We have
unreleased ISOs spun that are using this new kernel and kernel RPMs are hitting the repository. "Real-soon-now" we'll have new BLAG releases.
All for now,

wow, that is a lot worse than I imagined. Especially the copyright message. Without that, at least someone could try to decompile, reverse engineer stuff. I'm disappointed in seeing that.
Hopefully we'll start seeing the FSF take a more active role in repackaged "free" software as truly free.

Alexandre Oliva, who is a "Red Hat Compiler Engineer" and a "Free Software Evangelist", contacted me about linux-libre and expressed interest about getting a Free kernel into Fedora. Today I came across a long thread about this issue which has been going on this week on fedora-devel. Here is the thread archive:
I rarely post to fedora-devel, but added info to the thread here:
Good luck Alexandre! :)

I update this thread that Alexandre Oliva has been maintaining this kernel (to my great relief) at the FSF Latin America:
BLAG kernel releases for the last couple months have included his package (built on the blag servers).

I always thought the point of Linux was that it was free and that you could modify and reproduce it any way you see fit.

3rd November: As the promotional tour for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn II continues, one interviewer took the chance to quiz Robert Pattinson on the Dior fragrance rumours. 'I don't know yet,' was Rob's response. 'I guess an announcement will be made if it is or not.' That's not a no, people.
* * *
UPDATE We've just heard from a reliable source that Robert is shooting the Dior campaign in London any day now (eyes peeled, ladies!). We also know it's set to be a Moulin Rouge-style shoot in black and white. Appaz, Rob had no less than three offers on the table but chose Dior because it's 'classic and timeless'. Stay tuned as we bring you more details as they arrive...
* * *
Be still our beating hearts. As if Brad Pitt striking a pose for Chanel No.5 wasn't enough to get us girls all giddy, today brings news that another hunky Hollywood star has bagged himself a beauty deal.
Step forward one Robert Pattinson. E! News is reporting that the Twilight star has signed a mega-deal with Christian Dior for their line of men's fragrances. The deal is estimated to be worth a whooping $12 million over a three year period - ooh la la - and R-Pattz will apparently star in not one but a SERIES of ad campaigns for the French fashion house.
Admittedly, Rob isn't renowned for his beauty prowess - he's more of a scruffy beard than man-tan kinda guy - but with that gloriously becoiffed mane and weak-at-the-knees pout, the images are bound to be sizzling. And, of course, there are a gazzilion women out there who'll be desperate to get their hands on his scent so they can transform their men into becoiffed dreamcakes too. The actor's camp hasn't confirmed the news, but E! News does have a source who says: 'Rob likes the brand'. What more do you need?
Also: Grazia Daily is slightly surprised considering Rob has a well-known relationship with Gucci. Frida Giannini, Gucci's creative director, dressed the actor for his recent film Cosmopolis, he's confessed to ringing her when he's in need of a dapper suit and just this weekend, he was spotted partying with the likes of Cameron Diaz and Salma Hayek at a swanky Gucci event so the Italian brand would've been our first bet.
But don't get us wrong, we wouldn't refuse Dior either, Gucci suit or no Gucci suit. And after we saw Mr Pattz schmoozing with Natalie Portman - the face of Miss Dior fragrance - in September, there's no doubt he'll make the perfect addition to the Dior family. What's more, Rob will follow seamlessly in the footsteps of fellow Brit hunk Jude Law - and with Brad Pitt joining the beauty bandwagon, he's certainly in good company.
No official word from Dior (yet), but it does tie in nicely with the release of Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 and all eyes being on R-Pattz as he reunites with his on-off girlfriend Kristen Stewart. So with K-Stew fronting Balenciaga's scent, Florabotanica, their red carpet reunion is SURE to smell of success. Bring on the His & Her fragrances...
This happy news gives us the perfect excuse to collate our favourite R-Pattz pics into one gloriously hot gallery, which you can drool trawl through above. Yes, you're welcome.

Oatmeal Container Yarn Holder
By: Molly Kozera of A Bit O' Shine
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Molly Kozera of Bit O' Shine shares this wonderful papercraft tutorial. Turn an ordinary oatmeal container (or similar sized container) into a pretty yarn holder. This makes a quick and thrifty Mother's Day gift for a mom who crochets or knits.
A few months ago my friend Judy handed me an empty oatmeal container and asked, "Can you make me a steampunk yarn holder out of this?"
I traced my container onto the back of the wallpaper with a pencil and carefully cut out the size I would need.
Then I made a wash (part paint, part water) out of two colors of acrylic craft paint - burnt umber and metallic gold. I only used a few drops of the gold paint since I wanted a subtle sheen. I applied the wash with a large brush and let the first coat dry. Then I came back and brushed on a second, heavier coat, blotting at it with a paper towel to leave some places a little darker and to make the design have more depth and a more aged look.
Though glued, painted, and dried, the wallpaper is still a bit fragile and I applied two coats of spray can clear sealant to protect it.
Now for the lid! I have a great piece of scrapbook paper that looks like leather so I traced the lid onto the back of the paper, cut it out, and mod podge'd it onto the top of the lid.
Now for the embellishments! Steampunk style, being inspired by Victoriana is meant to be functional but gorgeous and detailed at the same time. This in mind, I dug out the trims and tacks. The points on the tacks were too long - they would have poked all the way through the container, so using some heavy duty wire cutters, I snipped the sharp bits off and dug out the glue gun.

As we reported earlier today, yesterday saw the Victoria's Secret crew take to the runway for the lingerie brand's annual catwalk show. The underwear extravaganza featured performances from Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars and appearances by ultra-cool London model mates Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn. What's not to love?!
Of course we were thrilled to see all the fabulous runway looks, including Alessandra Ambrosio's $2.5 Million fantasy bra, but that was just the tip of the Victoria's Secret iceberg. Bee Prinsloo, Joan Smalls, Jessica Hart et al Tweeted some ever so glamorous pictures from backstage at the show, as did super sexy singer Rihanna who looked like she was having a brilliant time with the VS girls. She met Cara Delevingne and Karlie Kloss and pouted and posed along with the best of them tweeting 'I'm a #VS girl now lol'.
Meanwhile the ladies were all left a little hot and bothered by an encounter with Justin Bieber who had his photo taken with a bevy of pink-clad beauties. Supermodel Joan Smalls posted a picture of herself and the singer with the caption: 'I got the @justinbieber fever now! @JLJablonski, @LilyMDonaldson. Do you girls?' Course they do!

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert.
In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Here we have a collection of articles to help with your health.
Although creating healthy eating habits may be hard in today's society, there are many things that motivate people to make the right choices, and to stay healthy. Some of the things that motivate me to make healthy eating choices are seeing others around me that are in good shape, feeling better, and keeping my doctor happy.
I try to motivate my peers by telling them about the health risks of gaining too much weight, and by asking them to go to the gym with me to get in shape for summer. The quality and quantity of the food we eat significantly affects not just our health, but also our energy levels, and perhaps even how long we live.
Deciding to make healthier eating habits, can be one of the best, and healthiest, decisions you can make. As you make the decision to adopt healthy eating habits, the question is, what do you eat now? Too much of the focus in nutrition is on how bad everything is for you.
Instead of dwelling on what you can't eat, try focusing on what is healthy for you and good to eat. Junk food such as french fries, cheese, and chocolate is all allowed. What matters for your healthy eating habits is how much, and how often, you are eating each food. Portion control is the most critical part of maintaining a healthy weight, and also preventing yourself from gaining any weight.
Even if you are eating fatty foods, every day you should attempt to focus on eating a balance of items from each food group. In the facts I learned, it's simple. If you eat more calories than you burn, you will eventually gain weight over time. If you burn more than you eat, you will then lose weight over time.
For the majority of people the most difficult part of a healthful diet is balancing the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they burn every day. As difficult as it may be, staying fit and choosing healthy eating habits prevents many diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and many cancers.
Just answer a few questions to figure out your weight loss goals and we'll provide
solutions to help you achieve life-transforming wellness. Our diet delivery program
is a real life tool to help you lose weight.

Coppiced Wood: New Work by Junko Mori
6 July – 8 September 2013
Junko Mori is one of the country's most exciting and innovative contemporary metalsmiths. Coppiced Wood is an exhibition of new work that is a direct response to the unique position of the Holburne Museum within the eighteenth-century landscape of Sydney Gardens. This new work will be significantly larger in scale than previous work and will include a new exploration of patination and colour. It will be combined with loans of existing pieces by the artist to create a spectacular sculptural display in Ballroom Gallery table case.

A superb forwards effort from the Brumbies handed the British and Irish Lions their first defeat on tour by 14-12 in Canberra.
The Australia side controlled the breakdown and set-pieces until 60 minutes, when the cavalry arrived off the Lions bench attemping to narrow the gap on the scoreboard.
With a severe lack of time together amongst the Lions backline and Stuart Hogg starting only his second game at fly-half, the lack of cohesion many feared before kickoff was a crippling blow to the Lions early success.
Brad Barritt, Christian Wade and Shane Williams all arrived in camp this week and combined with Hogg's inexperience in the pivot role, there were many moments in the first half where the Lions appeared understandably lost.
The sight of Williams returning in a Lions shirt at 36 was a surreal experience and nearly resulted in a dream start - the veteran Wales winger bundled into touch going for a try in the left corner.
Instead the Brumbies struck first. Confusion in the defence between Wade and Hogg gave Tevita Kuridrani too much space and he brushed off Wade to score.
Stern defence from the Brumbies and lineout woes for captain Rory Best sent the Lions backwards rather than forwards in attack, but the work of their forward pack when keeping it tight around the fringes was initially effective.
It handed Hogg a first penalty attempt, only for the ball to ricochet back off the post.
For all of the Lions problems though, the Brumbies only lead 5-0 after half an hour, squandering chances of their own and with Mogg missing a long-range shot at goal.
It took three attempts before Mogg finally found his range, converting from 40 metres out before Hogg responded to leave the Brumbies 8-3 ahead by half-time.
A furious half-time message from Andy Farrell was designed to spur the Lions into action, but early territory ended in no points with the Brumbies instead adding three more of their own by the boot of Mogg.
With the Lions missing the intensity in their one-on-one collisions that was so obvious against the Waratahs in Sydney, the Brumbies controlled the proceedings both at the set-piece and at the breakdown with worrying ease.
Some tactless physicality from Ryan Grant in the maul then handed Mogg a further three points, the Lions down 14-3 and feeling the game slip away.
Fine work by Sean O'Brien at the breakdown cancelled out the Brumbies latest penalty, before the heavyweight bench arrived.
The introduction of a new front row in Alex Corbisiero, Richard Hibbard and Dan Cole produced penalties at the scrum, only for Hogg to find the woodwork again.
With Hogg replaced by Owen Farrell, goal-kicking was never going to be an issue and the England fly-half added three points instantly to reduce the deficit to five.
It brought the Lions within range but battling against the clock and a tricky, physical Brumbies side that had reminded everybody watching why they are leaders of the Australian Conference, the task was ominous.
The work in particular of Matt Toomua at fly-half, both with his distribution and his defence, was noteworthy as the Brumbies pack toiled to keep the visitors at bay.
Farrell's second penalty, with the Brumbies not releasing, cut the lead to 14-12 with ten minutes left.
Momentum had truly swung in the Lions favour - Farrell and Conor Murray dictating as the tourists desperately searched for the three points needed to take the lead.
Hibbard called for a big scrum to create the penalty opportunity with time disappearing as the Lions opted to reset and break the Brumbies spirit. Instead it was the Lions who were crushed - the Brumbies winning the ball and clearing away.
The scenes of celebration at the final whistle spoke volumes of how much victory meant to the Brumbies and the important of these matches. Having suffered their first defeat, the Lions must now lick their wounds ahead of facing Australia in Brisbane on Saturday.
The scorers:
For Brumbies:
Try: Kuridrani
Pens: Mogg 3
For British and Irish Lions:
Pens: Hogg 2, Farrell 2
Brumbies: 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Andrew Smith, 11 Clyde Rathbone, 10 Matt Toomua, 9 Ian Prior, 8 Peter Kimlin (c), 7 Colby Faingaa, 6 Scott Fardy, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Leon Power, 3 Scott Sio, 2 Siliva Siliva, 1 Ruan Smith.

My daughter fell in love with the comforter online. She was thrilled when it arrived and loved the bonus turtle that came with it!
The colors are so bright and vivid! The comforter is soft and snuggly, but not overly warm. It may not be warm enough on its own in northern winters, but it works in the south!
beautiful comforter, only would have preferred pillow shams were in standard sizes.
My daughter loves the stuffed turtle very much. The comforter itself (with polyster material) is very light, and not very warm.

II. Stats/Gemming/Enchanting
Intellect - Intellect is incredibly useful to discipline priests more than other healers because in addition to providing spellpower, our primary mana regeneration mechanic, rapture, is also tied to our maximum mana pool, which is affected by intellect. Other abilities that restore mana based on maximum pool size are shadowfiend, hymn of hope, archangel, and replenish.
As a result, gemming should always aim to include intellect where possible. If a slot can take a red gem, get intellect. If it takes a yellow gem, get an orange gem that includes intellect. If it's blue, get a purple gem that includes intellect. The most effective meta gem for discipline priests is also the ember shadowspirit diamond. In addition to providing more intellect, it increases our mana pool size by another 2%.
Spirit - Spirit will provide a significant amount of mana regen, and as such, every item you pick up (except for trinkets) should have spirit on it, all other things being equal. This is to say, you should never have to reforge another stat to spirit. Obvious exceptions include large jumps in iLevel that provide enough of a boost to other stats (such as intellect).
Crit, mastery, haste: There is no right answer for all discipline priests to take as far as these stats are concerned. It will largely depend on your playstyle and raid composition.
If you are casting a lot of power word: shield, then mastery is going to be your most valuable stat.
If you are casting most of your spells on a regular basis, then crit will be your most valuable stat.
If mana is not a concern, and people are dying because you aren't healing them fast enough, then haste is your most valuable stat.
Effectively, haste increases your throughput at the sacrifice of efficiency. The longer a fight takes, the less attractive haste becomes since it will run your mana dry. The shorter a fight is, the better haste becomes. Typically, haste will be the least-valued stat at early gear levels and becomes more attractive as you gear yourself up.
Mastery will only affect divine aegis and power word: shield, so for all other spells, mastery is not-quite-but-very-close to worthless. Now that prayer of healing's divine aegis can also benefit from crit, it also means that mastery is only more valuable than crit as far as power word: shield is concerned. However, power word: shield, as of patch 4.0.6, is now our primary go-to heal.
Again, whether or not you want to stack crit or mastery is based largely on just how much you're using power word: shield. There are priests completing top-end content such as heroic raids who will stack either one, so it's dependent on how you use your spells.
As far as socket bonuses are concerned, anything that provides more intellect should always be gemmed for when possible. Anything that provides spirit as a socket bonus is typically also very beneficial to gem for. Blizzard has, in general, tried to make socket bonuses much more attractive to use, and they should be since all 5 stats are now important to discipline priests.
There don't seem to be a large number of enchants for any given item slot that healers can use as of yet. As a general rule of thumb, however, grab intellect where possible. Otherwise, grab spirit where possible. Otherwise, grab whichever stat you are currently low on.
III. Glyphs
Penance is mandatory, as it is our most efficient heal, and will heal for a great deal, as well as stacking up grace to its full capacity. Power word: shield is also a spell that make frequent appearances in our rotation, so power word: shield is a must.
Following that, the choices are between power word: barrier and prayer of healing. I feel the prayer of healing glyph will get the most mileage of the three unless you are solely dedicated to single-target healing; power word: barrier is limited to 10 seconds every 2 minutes in terms of usefulness, and you will generally see a greater performance when prayer of healing is made more useful.
Use whichever you feel comfortable with.
Divine accuracy is mandatory for smite specs, as it will give you a guaranteed chance to land the spell whenever it's cast. Prayer of mending is also an attractive option. All other major glyphs are up to playstyle. I wouldn't recommend the glyph of smite because holy fire will often miss, and the DoT from it simply doesn't last long enough to take advantage of.
Mass dispel comes highly recommended, as the times you'll need it, you'll want it to go off as fast as possible.
Shadowfiend and levitate come recommended, but these are all also up to personal playstyle.
