How to Select
How to shop for Faucets
Choosing a faucet is often a question of combining style with practicality. Faucets are the most visible part of any plumbing system. They protrude from above the sink or basin and with a quick twist will release cold or hot water. They serve a vital role in washing hands and dishes. Imagine if whenever you wished to do the dishes a hosepipe or bucket was needed to provide the water.
Besides the practical aspect faucets also add a level of style and individuality. Faucets differ depending on their location in the home, office or industrial space. Each faucet should be selected for either its ability to meet the demands of the user both stylistically and functionally.
When choosing a faucet it is useful to consider the following factors:
- Use. The faucet may be placed in one of several locations. Bathrooms, kitchens and work areas all need faucets. However a faucet will a bucket attachment would look out of place in a bathroom and elegant chrome finished faucets would be inappropriate and a costly addition to most workrooms.
- Environment. Busy industrial kitchens are more likely to need faucets that come with spray attachments. Whereas in the tranquil haven of the bathroom a faucet with a touch of luxury of style is likely be better suited. Individual tastes must be factored into any decision.
- Material. Faucets are available in a variety of materials and finishes to match or complement the environment. Faucets can be chosen in black, brass, bronze, brushed nickel, chrome, gray, oil rubbed bronze, stainless steel and white.
- Features. The modern faucet has evolved beyond a simple valve device. Flow control options now ensure constant pressure and remove the risk of scalding. Motion sensing faucets offer hands-free operation and increased levels of hygiene.

The Doorways International Program Series presents Egyptologist Dr. Peter Lacovara, on the topic of "Life and Death in the Pyramid Age: The Emory Old Kingdom Mummy."
Date: Thursday April 12, 2012
Time: 5:30 pm
Location: Belk Library and Information Commons, Room 114
Life and Death in the Pyramid Age: The Emory Old Kingdom Mummy
An open lecture at Appalachian State University by Egyptologist Peter Lacovara will discuss the oldest Egyptian mummy in the Western Hemisphere. More than 4,000 years old, Emory University's Old Kingdom mummy, acquired from excavations at the sacred cemetery of Abydos in Middle Egypt in 1920, comes from the twilight of Egypt's Pyramid Age. After more than two years of study and conservation, the Old Kingdom mummy has now been exhibited to the public for the first time, restored to its original appearance.
The open lecture will shed light on ancient Egyptian rites and rituals regarding the afterlife, by chronicling the development of the burial site of Abydos and the cult of Osiris, with reference to the current excavations where the Old Kingdom mummy was found nearly a century ago.
Peter Lacovara is one of this country's foremost experts in Egyptology, and is Senior Curator of Ancient Art Collections at the Emory Carlos Museum in Atlanta. He has written and contributed to numerous books and publications on Egyptian art. His fieldwork includes site supervision and excavation at locations such as the Valley of the Kings at Thebes, the Sphinx/Isis Temple, and now at the palace of Amenhotep III at Thebes, where Lacovara is currently excavating. Since Lacovara came to the Carlos Museum, Emory has become one of the South's leading centers for ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern art. In 1999, Lacovara was the driving force behind the Carlos Museum's acquisition of a collection of ancient Egyptian mummies. Included in that collection was a mummy identified as Ramesses I, the patriarch of one of ancient Egypt's greatest dynasties. In 2003, when a delegation led by Lacovara returned the pharaoh to Egypt and residence at the Luxor Museum, the University earned the thanks of a grateful Egyptian nation. Currently, Lacovara is excavating at the palace of Amenhotep III at Thebes.
This Doorways session is organized by John Stephenson in the Art Department, and co-sponsored by the Belk Library Doorways series, General Education, the Office of the Dean of Applied and Visual Arts, and the Anthropology department. The Doorways series provides a platform for people to share their research and knowledge on international issues and build relationships on campus based on interest in international affairs.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Sam Not impressed I have over dozen Perry Ellis Portfolio series dress pants, ever since I bought first one at then Robinson May store. I had been purchasing them online for last couple of yeas directly from Pewrry Ellis. I have never been disappointed before, the cloath (the rayon plolister mix does not seem to be of quality as other Portofolio pants I bought in past), the pattern, and the design (mordern fit vs clasic fit). I like clasic and did not realize this is mordern fit which is tight at knees. Makes the pant look and feel weird when wearing it. Please avoid. January 3, 2013

Continent of the Ninth Seal
Continent of the Ninth Overview
Continent of the Ninth also known as C9 is a 3D dungeon based free-to-play MMORPG by Webzen. Originally a Korean MMO, players embark on an action-packed journey through the Kingdom of Tampera. The once peaceful land has been consumed by an unknown evil presence and their emperor is missing. Players step into the role of a hero determined to set things right. Battle swarms of ruthless monsters invading the countryside using a variety of animated skills and combat moves similar to Dragon Nest or Rusty Hearts. Complete quests, raid dungeons, craft, and melee on the PvP grounds to prove your worthiness as a legend. In this action packed MMO players choose from four starting classes which can later be advanced into higher ranking positions.
Fighter (M) – These brave soldiers are heavily armored and equipped with an assortment of swords. They are skilled knights always ready for battle. This class can advance to Warrior, Guardian, Berserker, or Blade Master.
Hunter (M) – Notorious for their accurate aim and impeccable shooting skills this class can easily defeat their foes from remote locations. This advantage on the battlefield makes them a perfect edition to any party. They can transform into an Assassin, Ranger, Shadow, or Scout.
Shaman (F) – This class of supernatural healers can summon the power of the spirits to aid them in combat. Shamans advance to Elementalist, Taoist, Reaperess, or Illusionist.
Witchblade (F) – This class combines the power of magic with the mighty sword. These mighty mages conquer all those who oppose them with a combination of devastating spells and blades. They can advance to Warden, Slayer, or Bladedancer.

Continent of the Ninth Review
By Ange Perdu
Continent of the Ninth or C9 is a 3D fantasy themed dungeon action MMORPG by Webzen. Players are transported to the Kingdom of Tampera which has been overtaken by an evil satanic force. With a king that has suddenly disappeared and droves of invading monsters the empire is need of a few good heroes. C9 is a Korean based MMO which features a solid storyline that slowly unravels as players embark on their journey as a warrior fighting the mysterious darkness corrupting their world. Complete various quests, fight off hordes of invading beasts, raid dungeons with fellow comrades, and even loot other players' instances. Wage war against other players in multiple PvP modes or go on a PK spree. The destiny of Tampera is up to you.
A Hero's Quest, the Gameplay
Like most traditional role-playing games players start out with a brief tutorial and a wolf killing quest but Continent of the Ninth isn't your average MMO. Players enter a visually impressive world where combat and challenges are part of a hero's daily life. C9 is very action and PvP-oriented. Although there are plenty of quests players will find themselves constantly fighting off an onslaught of monster attacks while attempting to go from point A to point B. Most of the quests involve relaying messages to other NPCs or slaying beasts terrorizing the local villages. The game's unique FPS style controls and combo system really makes the game interesting but there's a slight learning curve. Players have to manually execute each attack or combo move by hitting the correct key combination in sync. WASD keys are used for movement as well as together with the left and right mouse button to perform certain moves. Similar to Dragon Nest players have to be quick on their feet to execute various combos and counter attacks. A meter on the side of the screen keeps score adding a console or arcade type of feel to the game. As heroes battle against swarms of creatures an adrenaline pumping rock soundtrack plays in the background. Little touches like that along with the powerful graphics engine used in the game really sets the tone. Before and after each quest an optional cut scene with text dialogue plays as well. The skill animations of magical fireballs blasting foes to the details of a knight's sword add to the overall atmosphere as well. The fluid combat is very reminiscent of popular titles like Vindictus.
PvP Action
Another major part of the gameplay in Continent of the Ninth is PvP battles. There are four different PvP modes that range from Relay to Ranking matches. In Relay mode 16 players are divided evenly into two teams of 8. Each member will battle a 1 vs. 1 match against a player from the opposing team. The first team to have all of their opponent's team defeated wins. Relay is an arena style war with an option to allow non-participating spectators to watch. A popular mode in C9 is the Deathmatch. This round is very similar to Relay with a few minor changes. There's a time limit during death matches and each kill is counted towards a player's teams' overall score. The first team with the most kills or combo points at the end of the match is declared the winner. During Team Match mode it's a player killing free-for-all. Each match in this mode is divided into 2 to 5 rounds. The team with the highest number of surviving players wins. Players must be level 45 or higher to participate in the fourth PvP mode known as the Ranking Match. It's slightly more complicated to enter but reaps higher rewards. Once a hero has applied to participate they will be automatically matched up with a worthy opponent with similar rank status. Both parties are transported onto a random battlefield to fight for three consecutive rounds. Players earn rank points that can advance their title from Warrior all the way up to Majesty. Forming parties and joining guilds is also an important aspect of the game since PvP wars and dungeon raiding make up most of the gameplay.
Dungeon Invasions
There are dungeons, chaotic invasions, intrusions, and a special Hell-mode feature in C9 as well. Scattered throughout the world of Tampera are dungeon instances crawling with deadly monsters that players can enter. These special zones feature platforms, traps, buildings, and sometimes perplexing puzzles for heroes to navigate through. Each instance can be tackled solo or with a party of friends and range in levels of difficulty. Normal to Master modes varies with an increase in the number of enemies and their strength. The dungeon system in Continent of the Ninth is much like the one in Rusty Hearts or other instance based MMOs with a reward chest presented at the end of every successfully clearing. At level 25 chaotic invasions can be performed. This system lets heroes raid other players' instances. When a players overthrows an instance they receive additional experience along with more valuable item drops. In high level dungeons intrusions can take place allowing other players to enter an occupied instance to kill that player or party along with the area's inhabitants. When an intrusion occurs players receive bonus XP and the victorious champion will earn possession of all the zone's treasures. In the eloquently titled Hell-mode instance heroes must attempt to collect dropped magical shards and class stamps which can later be exchanged for rare Hell Armor items in the shop.
Witchblades & Longswords
The NPC shops stationed within villages only offer basic items. Many of these accessories are rather generic in appearance and functionality. Players can purchase skill stones, healing potions, magic elixirs, and beginner concoctions from the Magic Merchant. Depending on a player's set gender class gear in the form of old bracelets, rings, armor, necklace, rings, boots, and belts can be purchased. The weapons selection is a somewhat limited as well. There are only a couple weapons for each class. Buy an Old Dagger of the Patrol Recruit, Staff of the New Adjutant, Blade of the Retired Brigadier, or Longsword of the Patrol Recruit at the local merchant shop. Bucklers and longbows are also available. Most items can be earned through monster drops or raids. The crafting option in the game is pretty basic and doesn't leave much room for customization. In the C9 item mall shop there's a dozen or so signature items like blue lace bikini outfits and hell attire for heroes to choose from but those rare items require a special currency. Despite the lack of weaponry or crafting options one of the best features in the game is its in-depth character creation. Players have complete freedom to create a cool looking hero. Choose from a variety of facial and body sizes. Adjust bust measurements; add tattoos, select skin color, eyes, and hairstyle. Unlike other MMOs that restrict the number of character creations allowed players are able to make multiple heroes, each with a distinctive look.
Final Verdict: Good
Continent of the Ninth is a fun adrenaline pumping action MMORPG that's infused with just the right amount of fantasy and PvP mayhem to keep gamers challenged. Although the quests, NPC shops, and crafting feature could be better the game excels at player killing and engaging PvE combat. Fight mobs of swift AI monsters that seem to know your next move before you make it or duel a rival player for rank with spectators cheering you on. There's also dozens of dungeon raids, an extensive guild system for higher level players, and awe-inspiring graphics. Comparable to popular titles like Vindictus, Dragon Nest, or WoW in terms of gameplay this dungeon based MMO is definitely worth checking out.

Fans are encouraged to bring new or gently used baseball equipment to the Orioles game on Saturday to be used in this year's distribution. Financial donations will also be accepted to help with shipping costs.
The Oriole Advocates Charitable Foundation will also conduct a silent auction of sports memorabilia at the game on Saturday, on the lower concourse near Gate E. Fans will have the chance to bid on baseballs, photos, bats, and jerseys autographed by current Orioles stars including CHRIS DAVIS, RYAN FLAHERTY, MIGUEL GONZALEZ, J.J. HARDY, TOMMY HUNTER, BRIAN MATUSZ, BUCK SHOWALTER, CHRIS TILLMAN and MATT WIETERS. Funds raised from the auction will be used to support the Cardboard to Leather Program™, which this year will provide baseball equipment to players in Mexico, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, and other Latin and Central America countries. Bids will be accepted from 5:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.
The Orioles will host LUNGevity Foundation's Breathe Deep Baltimore, a walk to raise funds and awareness for lung cancer in memory of Orioles' late Public Relations Director, Monica Pence Barlow, on September 20 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

Too little, too late.
I will not support Creative anymore, no matter what they'll do. Hope 'em die soon and their successor won't be that stupid.
I wish you good luck touching no hardware with questionable Linux support if you wish to do high quality and high performance sound programming ( aka games ). If you only require a mediocre sound solution then there are many around but if you need something worth the trouble then simply saying "no" to such companies is a problem.
Now that the drivers are open I expect some better drivers in the near future. Just hoping the team forming around this driver won't be as moronic as some other OS teams.
And yes, I have an X-Fi in my development rig and yes I knew that Linux support is most probably going to take a lot of time. This is why I have two cards... X-Fi for when I develop under Windows and another for Linux ( not as good, but 3D sound I can develop on Windows if required ).
Creative is dying. Going GPL is kinda desperate measure for them, and not some kind of good will. So i'm glad them dying. Anyone so ignorant and unrespectful to customers should stay six feet under.
Now tell me more about those cardboards, i'm oh so scared.
So... sales were slow or what?
I'm still never ever going to buy a Creative card.
I bought the X-Fi Platinum when it first came out, returned it the next day.
I'm really annoyed at the way they treated the Linux community. ATi gets away with it, because you can never really use the card to its full potential on Linux, cos there are no games or hardcore CAD apps. But with soundcards, Linux has support for multichannel audio, recording, mixing etc.. so we can use the card to its full potential.
I'll only reconsider Creative, if they can make something twice as good as the Maudio1010 and at half the price.
I for one am glad they did something that will probably produce some beneficial, though far from optimal results. Took long enough, though... Can you say EPIC FAIL?
Speaking of EPIC FAIL...
That's enough out of me.

Survey of Scientists Supports Evolution, Rejects "Intelligent Design"
A survey of Ohio university scientists shows that they overwhelmingly view "intelligent design" as a religious, not a scientific, concept. The survey was conducted by faculty at Case Western Reserve University and the University of Cincinnati, and results were announced at a press conference on October 10. Professor Joseph Koonce, Chair of the Department of Biology at Case Western, issued the following statement:
Creationism Not to Appear in Cobb County Public Schools
Contrary to some recent press reports, the "Theories of Origin" policy adopted by the Cobb County, Georgia, Board of Education on September 26, 2002, specifically disallows the teaching of creationism. As enacted, the policy explicitly states that, "It is the intent of the Cobb County Board of Education that this policy not be interpreted to restrict the teaching of evolution; to promote or require the teaching of creationism; or to discriminate for or against a particular set of religious beliefs, religion in general, or non-religion."
"IDnet" Expands to Third State
An organization which has actively promoted intelligent design creationism and opposed evolution education in Kansas and Ohio in recent years has now opened a branch in New Mexico. Intelligent Design network, inc. ("IDnet") of Shawnee Mission, Kansas announced the creation of Intelligent Design Network of New Mexico in a July 23 press release. The announcement implies that IDnet is also looking to expand to other states as well. IDnet is led by retired lawyer John Calvert; IDnet of New Mexico will be led by Joe Renick, a mechanical engineer.

|$K$-theory of Furstenberg Transformation Group $C^*$-algebras
The paper studies the $K$-theoretic invariants of the crossed product $C^{*}$-algebras associated with an important family of homeomorphisms of the tori $\mathbb{T}^{n}$ called Furstenberg transformations. Using the Pimsner-Voiculescu theorem, we prove that given $n$, the $K$-groups of those crossed products, whose corresponding $n\times n$ integer matrices are unipotent of maximal degree, always have the same rank $a_{n}$. We show using the theory developed here that a claim made in the literature about the torsion subgroups of these $K$-groups is false. Using the representation theory of the simple Lie algebra $\frak{sl}(2,\mathbb{C})$, we show that, remarkably, $a_{n}$ has a combinatorial significance. For example, every $a_{2n+1}$ is just the number of ways that $0$ can be represented as a sum of integers between $-n$ and $n$ (with no repetitions). By adapting an argument of van Lint (in which he answered a question of ErdÅs), a simple, explicit formula for the asymptotic behavior of the sequence $\{a_{n}\}$ is given. Finally, we describe the order structure of the $K_{0}$-groups of an important class of Furstenberg crossed products, obtaining their complete Elliott invariant using classification results of H. Lin and N. C. Phillips.

Kitsu Saga Review
By Erhan Altay
Kitsu Saga is a martial arts themed MMORPG by X-Legend, the same Korean developer behind Grand Fantasia. The game is published in the West by Aeria Games and entered closed beta testing on October 1st, 2010. The graphic style is more mature than Grand Fantasia, but has distinct visuals that help it stand out from similar titles. Players are accompanied on their adventures by Fox spirits called Kitsu.
The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend
If the martial arts theme didn't give it away, Kitsu Saga is set in an oriental fantasy world populated by demons, thieves, and stray animals. Things weren't always so bad. Not long ago, the Order of the Iron Claw and the Flamewind Society were content killing one another. When a new dark power emerged, the two factions were forced to call a truce and work together against the followers of the Golden Dharma King. Players can select between these two factions when creating a new character. Each faction has four distinct classes called ''disciplines.' The disciplines are named after weapon styles so they may sound exotic, but by reading the descriptions players should be able to figure out how they function. For example, the Godhand style uses sabers and dual weapons, and is a warrior class. But players don't pick their disciplines during character creation – there's a quest for that later on.
Growth Factor
Kitsu Saga has a fairly in-depth character creation process. After selecting their faction, players must chose their gender and from three body types. Both gender and body type play a role in Kitsu Saga and the effect is different for each gender and body combination. Generally speaking, smaller characters gain bonuses towards their intelligence and chi (mana) while larger characters gain bonus hit points and strength. Players must also select their growth trend from five choices. These effect which stats are given priority as the character levels up. The eight available disciplines combined with the various body type and growth combinations leads to a huge variety of possible characters. The appearance customization options are sparse; there are half a dozen hair styles, hair colors, skin colors, and three eye colors available. Even though players don't chose their class right away, planning ahead is recommended in order to build the most efficient character.
Story Book Adventures
Immediately upon logging in, players will notice the distinct art style in Kitsu Saga. I haven't seen anything like it, but it works well. The graphic options allow for a variety of resolutions, but an annoying bloom effect is turned on by default. The controls are simple and allow for either W,A,S,D or point-and-click movement. While keyboard movement is functional, I found it a bit awkward. Point-and-click just feels more fluid in Kitsu Saga. Luckily, players won't have to do a whole lot of manual movement in the first place. Kitsu Saga has an auto-navigation system and quest driven progression. The auto-navigate feature takes players to and from NPCs, and right to the monster spawns they have to defeat as part of their objective. Unlike many other Asian MMORPGs, Kitsu Saga doesn't rely on underlined quest objectives – instead players simply click the 'go' button next to a quest objective and are on their way. This makes the quest log and the quest tracker easier to read, as there are no red and yellow underlined words. The character screen, inventory, and other interface menus are simple, but a bit dull.
Storing Energy
The experience rate in Kitsu Saga is relatively high (so long as players stick to questing). Unlike other free-to-play MMORPGs, many of the quests in Kitsu Saga are repeatable. There are usually plenty of available quests near the same level range, so repeating the same one is more than once or twice is optional. As players level up, they won't receive stat points to distribute or skill points to allocate. Instead, there are two distinct experience meters that fill up at different rates. This is similar to the system used in games like Silkroad Online. Both bars are located above the hotkey bar. The experience meter is in blue, while the energy meter is in red. Energy is required to train and upgrade skills. All players start with a basic skill book that can be used to train basic skills, but after choosing their discipline at around level 7, players are given a new skill book that corresponds to their new class. Players won't be able to learn every new skill (at least not to a sufficient rank0, so they'll have to chose how to specialize their character.
Spirits and Demons
Combat in Kitsu Saga can be initiated by right clicking on a target, or using a skill on it. Mana, or chi, in the game fills up rapidly and its entirely possible to spam skills and spells without worrying about running low. This makes combat a little more exciting since players will have a variety of skills to choose from as they level up. Even the casters in Kitsu Saga take part in melee combat, and have the health to endure it. Most low-level monsters do very little damage, and it's possible to get three or more enemies grouped up and perform area of effect skills to mop them all up at once. The first few dozen levels in Kitsu Saga don't offer much challenge, but the game manages to keep things interesting nonetheless. Equipment drops are very common, players will have their inventory open and will constantly be upgrading their gear as they complete quests. Class specific skills won't function if a player has the wrong weapon type equipped, but there's so much loot around that finding an appropriate weapon won't be a problem. The only issue with the generous loot drops is inventory management. Players can find or purchase additional bags that expand their inventory, but new players will find their bag fill up within minutes.
A Land of Your Own
While completing their first few quests, players will be rewarded with a rune that holds a Kitsu inside it. Kitsu are fox spirits that recently made themselves visible in order to help humans combat the evil forces plaguing the land. So how do these little floating foxes help players? First, they auto-loot the items dropped by enemies. More importantly, they populate each player's individual Kitsu Cottage which acts as an instanced homestead. Players can teleport to their Kitsu Cottage at any time from the Kitsu menu, opened by hitting the 'f' key. Its also possible to visit the Kitsu Cottage of other players (assuming you're mutual friends). The Kitsu Cottage is more than a private home – its a whole plot of land where players can put nearly a dozen Kitsu to work mining ore, chopping wood, fishing, herding animals, and crafting gear. Quests explain each step of the process, but it will take some getting used to. There's a cauldron in the middle of the Kitsu Cottage area where players can upgrade their Kitsu by fusing them with gems that they acquire throughout the game world. Kitsu come in many forms, each with different strengths and weaknesses. Some are better than others at mining or crafting.
All The Rest
Kitsu Saga has some PvP features, but it is not a primary focus. Besides duels, players can team up and fight on instanced battlefields against opponents within a similar level range. Players can also join or found guilds. Guild themselves can rank up to a maximum of rank 5, and there are special guild related quests and dungeons to tackle. Kitsu Saga also has a title feature, wherein players earn various titles by completing certain quests, or defeating certain monsters. These titles each offer different stat bonuses when equipped. Kitsu Saga is one of many oriental themed, free-to-play MMORPGs released in 2010. The list includes games like Martial Empires, and Heroes of Three Kingdoms. Its also very similar to its predecessor, Grand Fantasia, which had a much more anime inspired look. What sets Kitsu Saga apart from the rest is its art style. Some will love it, others will hate it, but its definitely something original.
Final Verdict: Good
Kitsu Saga has a unique character progression system, and an in-depth pet feature in which players can put cute little foxes to work mining, fishing, and collecting lumber. There are plenty of classes to choose from, and combat can get hectic since players will often have to take on multiple enemies at once. The package as a whole will feel familiar to veteran MMORPG players, but the unique art style means its presented in a new way.

While specifics of Gelinas case aren't known, prisoners not required to get counseling
Thursday, February 7, 2013
DOVER — Though prison sentencing may come with orders for treatment or counseling programs, those convicted of a crime are not mandated to follow those orders if they choose not to.
Gelinas was sent to state prison in May 2005 after being convicted of a burglary charge with the intent to commit sexual assault and being sentenced to 1� to 8 years. In May 2008, he paroled out of that sentence. However, he was returned to prison on a parole violation in July 2008, a little more than two months later, and remained jailed until April 2012.
Jeffrey Lyons, public information officer for the men's state prison in Concord, said he could not disclose what, if any, programming is in Gelinas' record or whether he accepted or declined, but that there is an 18-month sex-offender treatment program offered.
Velardi said sometimes sentences are written in such a way to suggest programming as an incentive for the criminal. But that doesn't always work for those who may be looking ahead, or perhaps not fully understanding any wrongdoing on their part.
"As law enforcement officers we have to hope and pray that they don't reoffend," Velardi said.

Remembering the Triangle Fire
March 25th marks the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in downtown Manhattan. The fire started in a scrap bin on the 8th floor of the factory building, claiming the lives of 146 garment workers. The tragedy led to changes in labor and fire safety laws, and coincidentally, the centennial comes at a time of labor union struggles across the country.

TRAINING: A typical day of training starts with drilling technique and MMA grappling or sparring in the morning, and swimming or strength and conditioning in the afternoon. Mitt workouts and game plan in the evening.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started in 2003 by accident, fighting an exhibition bout on a small Midwest show. I was going to watch my brother fight Adrian Serrano, they announced an opening for a NHB fight, and I thought my wrestling background would carry me through the fight. It almost did until I gave up my back and you know how the rest of the story goes. Oh yeah, and training kept me out of the bars and taverns.
Do you have any heroes? Dan Gable and Joey Gilbert
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It is an honor, but most important is winning and trying to attain the featherweight title.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I went to Harper Junior College, and did not earn a degree.
What was your job before you started fighting? Union Carpenter, framer
Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? Wrestled for 2001 Junior College National Champs at Harper College
Specific accomplishments in pro competition? Former Strikeforce LW Champion
2X XFO LW Champion, Xtreme Kage Kombat LW Champion, Combat-Do LW Champion
Favorite grappling technique: Rear naked choke
Favorite striking technique: Any technique that will get me a KO.

Salsa Verde Carnitas
I really enjoy the flavours of Mexican and Texmex cuisine and I am always on the look out for new dishes. I recently came across the concept of carnitas. Carnitas are made by braising the meat, typically pork, in a seasoned liquid until it is tender enough to shred. After the meat is shredded it baked at high heat to turn the edges of the meat crispy while the inside stays nice and tender. After the meat has been prepared it can be used in tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. The recipe that I came across was for salsa verde carnitas. There was no way that I could resist trying pulled pork braised in salsa verde and then baked until slightly crisp and yet still tender. I used some home made salsa verde that I had made with some tomatillos that I had in the freezer. The carnitas turned out pretty good. The meat was really flavourful and I enjoyed the combination of crisp and tender textures. I used the carnitas meat in a simple taco with lettuce, cilantro, shredded cheese and sour cream. I really look forward to using carnitas meat in other dishes in the future.
1-3 pounds pork shoulder
1 onion (chopped)
2 cups salsa verde
2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
1. Trim the excess fat from the pork.
2. Place the pork, onion, salsa verde, chicken stock, cumin and oregano in a pot.
3. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the pork is nice and tender, about 3-6 hours.
4. Take the pork out of the liquid and shred the meat with a pair of forks.
5. Bake the shredded pork in a preheated 400F oven until just browned and slightly crispy.
6. Skim the fat from the liquid.
7. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer to reduce for about 10 minutes.
8. Mix the pork back into the liquid.
9. Use the pork mixture in your favorite tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc.
Note: Can be used as a filling in burritos.

Intel® RAID SSD Cache with FastPath* I/O
Improve your storage performance
Premium Upgrade Feature Increases ROI for SSDs
The Intel® RAID Premium Feature SSD Cache with FastPath* I/O allows users to take advantage of significant performance enhancements while generating a higher ROI for SSDs. This feature offers two distinct usage models for server systems with one or more solid-state drives (SSD). The first usage model is to use SSDs as extended cache for an array of conventional hard drives. The second usage module is using FastPath I/O to accelerate I/O performance of a complete SSD array through the enablement of algorithms optimized for flash-based storage.
SSD Cache Key Benefits:
- Accelerates performance of existing HDD arrays with small upfront investment
- Read and write caching of hot spot data for significant reduction in I/O latency
- Optimized for real-world workloads of transaction-intensive applications
- Simple, intuitive management tools to assign and manage SSD cache pool
SSD Cache Reduce Latency Bottlenecks for Server-based HDD Volumes
Workload-intensive business applications are often constrained by the performance limitations of their existing hard disk drives (HDDs). With this type of storage infrastructure already in place, many businesses have not previously been able to adopt higher performing SSDs as a full array of SSD's is too costly despite the significant IOPs benefit.
Accelerate the performance of existing HDD arrays without making substantial investments in new hardware by deploying SSD cache with LSI MegaRAID CacheCade* technology. SSD cache leverages SSDs in front of HDD volumes to create high-capacity, high-performance controller cache pools.
Video: Supercharge server performance with Intel® RAID SSD Cache 2.0
Intel® RAID SSD Cache 2.0 with LSI MegaRAID CacheCade Pro* 2.0 read and write caching technology eliminates the need for manually configured hybrid arrays by intelligently and dynamically managing frequently-accessed data and copying it from HDD volumes to a higher performance layer of SSD cache. Copying the most accessed data (hot spot) to flash cache relieves the primary HDD array from time-consuming transactions, which allows for more efficient hard disk operation, reduced latency, and accelerated read and write speeds. This provides significant improvements to overall system performance—two-to-twelve times that of HDD-only configurations—for a wide variety of server applications, including Web, file, online transaction processing (OLTP) database, data mining, and other transaction-intensive applications.
FastPath* I/O
FastPath I/O increases standard transactional performance or application workloads by up to 200 percent as it operates as a high-performance I/O accelerator for SSD arrays connected to an Intel® RAID Controller. This advanced software can dramatically boost storage subsystem and overall application performance—particularly those that demonstrate high random read and write operation workloads—when deployed with a 6 Gb/s Intel RAID Controller connected to SSDs. Application workloads that will benefit most, from FastPath I/O with SSD volumes, are those with small and random I/O patterns requiring high transactional throughput, such as OLTP.

Phoronix: OpenSUSE Looks To Switch To Btrfs For Next Release
With today's release of openSUSE 13.1 Beta has come some more interesting news about the future of the German-founded Linux distribution: they're hoping to switch to the next-generation Btrfs Linux file-system as their future default file-system...
btrfs seems to be still unstable according to amount and severity of bugs reported to kernel bugzilla
bugs reported last 12 months according to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/query.cgi
btrfs - 79
ext4 - 26
OpenSuse has always had the potential to be the next big Linux distro due to its ease of installation and long term support. However, here is a small list of reasons why I passed over OpenSuse (it mostly had to do with the way their repositories are split up)
- I get that Yast is different (and that's not a bad thing) but installing common applications that are needed right away is not a friendly way to teach new users how to add Yast repositories.
- Installing a different version of KDE that didn't come with the installation requires to match up several repositoires. It isn't intuitive at all. Why would you want to only update KDE applications only when the next big point release has quite a number of Plasma Workspace fixes? Plus, it seems pointless now that Plasma 1 is in maintaince mode.
- It seems that the rolling release is actually a repository that depends on a stable installation. Also, users need to reinstall properiary graphic drivers themselves if they use Tumbleweed (thankfully, I have Intel hardware).
- The milestones releases works differently then most distros. They seem to contain their own repository and don't seem to update at all until the next milestone release. For instance, if one milestone comes out a week before a beta 2 version of some software comes out, you have to wait three weeks for the next milestone to come out in order to get it.
If a user on this forum can explain what I did wrong or what I missed when it came to OpenSuse's repositories, I would really appreciate an answer. Also, I think that OpenSuse should come out with a true rolling release model to compete with the fact that Ubuntu is "always stable" at any point in its release now.

From linus' git, also known as 3.12-rc1+ (a version later than what OpenSuse is shipping):
Does that sound stable or finished to anyone?Btrfs is highly experimental, and THE DISK FORMAT IS NOT YET
FINALIZED. You should say N here unless you are interested in
testing Btrfs with non-critical data.

Mr. Alexander goes to Washington to talk about the Small Business Investment Company program
Blog Entry:
July 25, 2013 9:54 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Phil Alexander, CEO of marketing firm
in Cleveland, is in Washington, D.C., today to
before a House subcommittee about the impact of the Small Business Administration's Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program.
He'll be testifying on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on how the program affects U.S. businesses' and entrepreneurs' ability to compete, innovate and create jobs and how the SBIC program helped Brandmuscle grow.
The event will be livestreamed
starting at 10 a.m. today. Politico.com
that the hearing will look at whether the SBIC program "is adequately meeting the capital needs of small business owners and entrepreneurs."
In addition to Mr. Alexander, those providing testimony are Pravina Raghavan, acting associate administrator for investment at the SBA; Steven Brown, president of Trinity Capital Investment in Chandler, Ariz.; John Sherman, founder, director and former CEO of Inergy LP in Kansas City, Mo.; and David T. Robinson, a professor at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University.
Stranger than fiction
You'll need to set aside some time to check out
this long story
, from the Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation, which carries the intriguing headline, "The Erstwhile Hedge Fund King of Akron, Ohio's Very Difficult Summer."
It starts out sounding like a John Grisham novel:
On Aug. 4, 2012, a bright young mortgage department employee at J.P. Morgan named Ben Sayer was all smiles: The head of a rapidly expanding hedge fund said to have almost $200 million in assets — one Anthony Davian of Davian Capital Advisors — had invited him to attend his fund's annual golf outing for clients at the swanky Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. And this meant, to Sayer at least, that he might be on the verge of snagging a job offer at Davian's Akron-based fund. …
But within a month of Sayer's taking the position, the smile had vanished from his face and questions about the firm came to him fast and hard. Not only could he not get a straight answer from Davian about where the $200 million of client capital was, but by this past June, the fund itself had come to a standstill after being besieged by fraud allegations from all directions.
Things got even worse: After Anthony Davian's wife found him passed out in their car suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning earlier this month, he was rushed to the intensive care unit of a hospital. Meanwhile, a growing number of regulators swarmed over the fund asking some very pointed questions about what had happened.
When the Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation examined the fund's documents and conducted multiple interviews with investors and the fund's founder and employees, it says it "uncovered a very different reality behind the well-constructed image of Anthony Davian and his fund. It appears that Davian's greatest accomplishment may be the invention and marketing of his image as a tech-savvy fund manager of an immensely successful hedge fund portfolio."
While Mr. Davian's assertions that his fund's asset base reached about $200 million "appear to be pure fiction, there's no doubt that the fund's investors have suffered sharp losses in their investments, with the extent of the damage still unknown," according to the story. "Though the Davian Capital Advisors drama can't rival other hedge fund sagas in size, for sheer difficulty in sorting out the true from the false it has few rivals."
A cut above
National radio program Marketplace.org
takes a look
at the entrepreneurial culture in inner-city barbershops and salons, starting with Coco's Hair Extraordinaire in Cleveland, a place where "you can get anything you want:" clothes, underwear, shoes, even cars.
"We have a guy who comes in, he sells tennis shoes and cars," Schenese Small says. "He'll come in and say, 'Anyone want to buy some tennis shoes? Anyone want to come in and buy a car? I got one outside, got a price on it.'"
Ms. Small is the managing cosmetologist at the beauty shop. The peddling she sees "is common in African American salons," the story notes.
Donald Graham, a business coach across town at the Urban League of Greater Cleveland, tells Marketplace.org that he's not surprised when vendors approach customers at the barbershop he's been going to for 21 years. Mr. Graham says beauty and barbershops are thriving marketplaces.
"We all have money in our pockets when we walk into the barbershop... it's just a friendly environment," he says. "Men are getting their hair cut and we want to support the community so we buy their products."
Mr. Graham adds that many vendors who sell that way probably don't have a business plan, or an accountant; they're winging it.
"(He's) probably a bootstrap entrepreneur who doesn't really follow all the traditional rules of running a small business and he's just making it work," he says.
But the story says that description "doesn't apply to Roland Muhammad," who Monday through Thursday is in the kitchen at his bakery, making apple and bean pies. "On Friday and Saturday, he carries the pies — and body oils and incense — to shops all over the city," the story notes.
"So on Friday, I have about 100-something stops. On Saturday I have likely the same thing. It's continuous from 11 in the morning to 8 at night," Mr. Muhammad says.
