The Division III All-American is coming off a career year in which he hit .392 with seven home runs and 49 runs batted in.
The .392 average and 10 triples are single-season records for the USM program. White also scored 48 runs last season with 10 doubles.

Now, this is perfectly in line with the goals of the FSF, which is to empower the end user, this may or may not be what the developer wants, which is why it's so great that we have choice. Linus want to allow a company to deny the end user the right to modify and run his/her code on a device that requires code signing, so he sticks with GPLv2 (well, it's not as if it would be easy to switch even if he wanted to), other developers may want to ensure end users have this right and will choose GPLv3.
A thing that has been confusing me, you are obviously a BSD advocate and from the looks of it you have no love for GPL, why are you developing a udev fork (eudev) which is GPLv2 licenced and specifically for Linux which is also GPLv2 licenced? Wouldn't someone who are strongly advocating BSD work on, well BSD software?

Located in trendy and bustling downtown Royal Oak, the site opened prior to 1995 and enjoys the patronage of shoppers who arrive by car and on foot. This 7,934 sq. ft. store holds the distinction of having the smallest square footage of all of the stores in the Southeast MI ARC's 'chain'.
This location was most recently remodeled in 2011 into the Sally's on 4th Boutique, it offers spacious fitting rooms for the convenience of shoppers and the "Best of the Best Donations" from our SEMI ARC Thrift Stores.

In addition, we hosted a successful boutique at The International Women's Show three consecutive years. Armed with this information, we believed the trendy community of Royal Oak would embrace this new concept in thrift. Because this location, one of our oldest, did not have the ability to expand, we evolved.

Two teens charged in Portsmouth drug bust: Case involves Homeland Security, possible money laundering
Wednesday, February 6, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — Two local teenagers were arrested and face charges of drug possession and distribution after an extensive drug network was uncovered as the result of information gathered over the last month by Portsmouth Police with the assistance of Homeland Security.
"Obviously it's not the norm," he said.
Portsmouth police detectives are also working with federal law enforcement partners to continue an investigation into viable information that exists leading police to believe some of the drugs were received from international locations. A parallel investigation has begun into money laundering of the alleged profits from the drugs.
Anyone with information as to the circumstances surrounding this case or with drug intelligence information should contact Detective Scott Study at 603-436-2511.
Those wishing to remain anonymous may contact Seacoast Crime Stoppers at 603-431-1199 or submit information online at www.seacoastcrimestoppers.org. Text messages may also be sent to CRIMES (274637) with "TIPSCS" included in the message. Information leads to an arrest and indictment could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Hi everyone, we just bought our first big tent today, an Oztrail 15 x 12 cabin tent. (Any tips on this tent would be most welcome.... do we need a tarp? How big etc). We have a couple of 10 y/o Border Collies and two young boys and would love to camp together on weekends. I'm more of a glamour camper than a bushwacker.... need electricity for the hairdryer and clean toilets/hot showers. Happy to spend half an hour putting up the tent and then sitting back for two hours with a couple of bottles of wine and celebrating the achievement.
I am completely naive on all things camping, happy to have a go and enjoy a relaxing holiday. Can anyone tell me if you can take your own port-a-potty to caravan park campgrounds? Also, are there any campgrounds on the NSW coast that take dogs over Christmas?
Look forward to learning from everyone here. Kylie

The Faculty of Science and Agriculture no longer exists.
The University took the decision to separate the Faculty of Science and Agriculture into two new Faculties: Food and Agriculture and Science and Technology. Students will be unaffected by the "de-merger" of the Faculty of Science and Agriculture as there will be no changes in the current academic programmes as a direct result of the separation and the regulations of the old and new faculties will remain as similar as possible.
In case you missed the sessions held during the last academic year, special orientation sessions will be conducted during the first two weeks of registration for the new academic year. We want to assure you that the effect of the transition will be minimal as far as you are concerned. In the current Faculty of Science and Agriculture structure, students are organized and categorized according to the departments to which they are assigned, and as such will not be affected by the demerger. However, special efforts will be made to deal with any student issues that arise in the coming semester.
Should you have any special concerns, please contact the respective Dean's Office or visit one of the helpdesks located in the Sir Frank Stockdale Building.
Please note the following website links and update your bookmarks accordingly.

Right, now does anyone have a Legal Speak to English translation?
Phoronix: Google & MPEG LA Reach VP8 Agreement
MPEG LA will not be forming a patent pool to go after Google's "royalty-free" VP8 video format...
Right, now does anyone have a Legal Speak to English translation?
So does this mean MPEG-LA has caved in to Google, after VP8 has been proven to be a very solid alternative to the patent-encumbered H264 family of codecs?
That makes it a bit clearer, but... So MPEG LA wanted to find proof that VP8 was covered by software patents, but couldn't find enough, and now they officially gave up? It doesn't sound like a particularly important change...
It might not seem like much, but this is an important change.
The MPEG-LA was saying that they were putting together a patent pool since (they claimed) VP8 infringed on their members' patents. Apple was against WebM as the standard video format for HTML5 due to the "uncertain patent landscape". The major opposing force will have officially and publically declared "VP8 is dandy, no worries from us about patents there", so hopefully everybody can breathe more easily.
When the terms of the sublicensing are made public, there should be no cause for uncertainty: every web browser can implement WebM, and every operating system can have WebM support out of the box.
Assuming the sublicensing terms are good, this means there's a high-quality, open-standard, royalty-free video codec that can be used by anybody for any purpose.
MPEG LA were bluffing all along. This news means they have finally folded.
Their income comes from license fees for H264, so they had every incentive to spread FUD about VP8 for as long as they could get away with it.
None of this means that VP8 is safe from patent lawsuits. Or, for that matter, H264 with a license from MPEG LA. Just because some company promises not to sue you for patent violations (whether you've paid them a licensing fee or not) doesn't mean that someone else isn't sitting on another patent somewhere waiting to pounce.
Patents suck.
VP8 isn't as good as H.264 I'm afraid. We need VP9! But I guess they're waiting for WebM to be adopted everywhere.

The Fire Department seeks to replace its ambulance. Voters will be asked to appropriate $227,572 for a replacement. The warrant article will have no impact on the tax rate if approved, as the funds would be taken from the revenue collected from fees for service of the ambulance. The existing ambulance, which is about six years old, has required increasing amounts of repairs over the past two years, testing its reliability, according to town officials.
If warrant article 2 does not get approved, warrant article 4 will become null and void.

Sucking Eggses
1. Sucking Eggses
~ Riddles in the Dark, The Hobbit
"A box without hinges," so he asks us, yes precious: "A box without hinges, key, or lid. Yet golden treasure inside is hid." Treasure... We had a golden treasure once, yes, we did, long ages ago; we found it by the river. We still have it. The Precious, gollum, yes... But does he know?
Of course not. Does we keep it in a box? No, of course not. We keep it hid, no nasty boxes for the Precious. We keep it in our hands, or on the island, far, far away. Not in a box, not with nasty hinges, or without them. But what then, precious, what then? What does it mean, a box without hinges?
We had a box once, long ago, long ages ago, before we found the Precious. A special box for rocks, and for birds' nests, and bones from fisheses, and string, and many things; many, many other things, precious. Yes, we had many things then. We would go and play in the fields, and by the river, and find things to put in the box with hinges in our room. Our room, precious… we had one of those once. No nasty cave, no island to hide on, no orcses to the left, orcses to the right…
Yes, precious, orcses, orcses everywhere. You should be happy for your hole, away from the nasty faces, the white face and the yellow face, so bright, so cruel.
But, precious, they were not so cruel once. We remember. We had a room, and a window, in the hole by the river. And we had brothers, and cousins, and grandmother -- she was nice, precious, nice to us, always so nice --
Lies! They called us murderer! Thief! They told us to go far, far away…
But that was later, precious, yes, much later. After we found it. Before that we were happy -- happy with Grandmother, and with our cousins, and with the sons of the big people. They lived there, too, the tall men with their tall houses and their strange ways. And some of them were mean, yes, but some were nice to poor Smeagol. Haldad was nice, yes, taught us where to find birds nests, and where to find …
Yes, precious, so nice, so kind, always helping us by getting us in trouble. What did they say, what did Grandmother say when we brought her them?
She was busy, very busy, getting ready for the big party. She wanted nuts, sent us out with the nice, big basket to find them for her, and when we came back…
She yelled at us, precious, she yelled at us. Sent us back out for nutses.
But she was busy, so busy. Cousins were coming, and there were pies to bake, and rooms to clean. Was… was a party, precious, and it had a name. What was its name, precious? We remembers the cousins, and the fire, we remembers the nuts and the pies and the songs. Yule! Yule it was called, precious, yes, Yule!
She was mean! Called us names!
No, precious. Later, that next week all the cousins were gone, and she came with us. You remember. Grandmother, she came down to the river, and we showed her how, showed her how Haldad had shown us. Was good luck, Haldad said, good luck to suck them at Yule, before the new year. What were they called, precious? We took the needle and punched the hole, yes we did, then sucked it out, and washed it down with cold milk, nice cold milk.
No, no, no! Nasty, nasty eggses...
Eggses! That's what it was called, precious. Eggses. Nice and yellow. That's it precious! Eggses! Box without hinges, golden treasure inside. Eggses, precious! Nasty Bagginses tries to tricks us, precious, but we remember, we guesses the answer: eggses!

The Sword of Elendil: 29. They Also Serve Who Only Stand and Wait
"Estel, my son!"
Mama is calling me, but her voice is faint and far away. And papa's lap is so warm, his arms so strong, that I do not want to leave. I reach out one finger toward the beautiful sword on the table. Papa's large hand closes on my small one. "When you are bigger, little one," the sonorous voice says, "I will teach you to wield it."
"Estel!" mama's voice insists, nearer now, clearer….
…As the dark room in Thurnost gives way to the winter light of Rivendell.
Aragorn opened his eyes. Above him stretched the wooden beams of his bedroom in Elrond's House, carved with birds and beasts and stars and ships, and at the edge of his vision, his mother's anxious face. He tried to smile, but his mouth was dry, his lips chapped. "Water," he whispered. He struggled to lift himself up in the bed.
"Shh," she said, and, lifting a mug, made as if to hold it to his lips, but he had eased his shoulders onto a fat pillow against the bedstead and reached for the mug with one hand, so thin he could not recognize it as his own. He drank cool, earthy water—Rivendell water, the best he had ever had.
As Gilraen hovered about him, slowly he hoisted himself up on his elbows and drew his legs from under the covers. He clutched the edge of the bed with lean, trembling hands, his bare feet planted on the sheepskin at the bedside. "I am as weak as a kitten," he said with disgust. He looked up into her face and smiled. "Thank you."
She laughed happily. "You will mend. You have been ill a long time."
The black mist shrouded his sight again and he shuddered. "Yes. It was a hard struggle. But I gained some things as well." He thought of the beautiful face of his beloved in the golden mirror. She came to me. But he would not speak of that. "I saw my father."
She caught her breath. "Ah, Estel." A hesitation. "Are you sure?"
"I was two years old again. He held me on his lap and showed me Narsil." He would not tell her that in his dark nightmares under the spell of the Sorcerer, he had also seen his father's death at the hands of the Orcs. "Where is it?"
She gestured at the large, brass-bound trunk against the far wall. "Safe. It has suffered no harm."
"Let me see it."
She brought it to him in its worn scabbard, the old leather hiding the Dúnedain's chief treasure. He did not draw the blade, but caressed the golden hilt with its red gem, remembering it in the hands of the Sorcerer as it hovered near his throat. May I live to see the day it is reforged, he prayed, and to wield it against our enemies, whether I be king or not. He then nodded at his mother to take it away.
He rose to his feet, shaking slightly, and slipped into soft woolen slippers and a furred robe. Sitting in a chair before the fire, he took a deep breath and began to take stock of his body. Weak, yes, but whole, each part moving as it should, the muscles beginning to wake. The knife cut on his chin had healed to a small raised scar that he could feel with his fingertips under his rough beard. "The dagger?" he asked.
"What dagger?"
"The silver blade I took from—him," he said.
"Elrond had it melted. He said that he had seen it, or one just like it, during the wars with Angmar, but only now do we know what it did to its victims."
Aragorn shivered at what had almost happened to Rodnor and to him. "Rodnor and Daeron? Are they here?"
Her cheeks reddened slightly as she shook her head. "No. Rangers are looking for them. So far there is no word."
"Then how did you find us—" But then he knew. "The Queen's falcons. I heard them calling in my dreams."
"Yes. They led Elrond to you, though he said he already knew you were in danger. How, he did not explain."
But Aragorn, remembering the flash of blue light on the shore of the far sea, now knew that Elrond had powers far beyond what he had ever guessed. "He is the Master of Rivendell and would be High King of the Noldor but for his own refusal to take the title. Where is he?"
"He left you in my care," she said. "You slept for several hours after he joined you in the ordeal, whatever it was. He says that you should come to him when you are ready, and he will instruct you in the use of the power. I don't understand these deep matters." She took a deep breath. "Elrond has told me many strange and wonderful things. He says that you drove the evil taint from Daeron and from Rodnor, and you defeated it within yourself."
"For me it is a memory of horror. Do not speak of it."
"When you are ready, Elrond says," she said gently. "Until then, rest, eat, recover your strength."
After a thoughtful moment, Aragorn looked up to his mother and smiled. "I think I will take a bath."
It was like Elrond, Aragorn knew, to leave his foster son to choose the time of his own healing. At first he wondered if he would be able to bear the wait, the tedium of recovery—but found, to his own surprise, that he seemed to have acquired something of the virtue of patience. For the first few days, when he was not resting in his chamber, he wandered the hallways of the House, visiting old friends from his childhood—the cooks in the vast kitchens, from whom he had often begged treats, or the workshops of the carpenters and joiners, or the stables and kennels filled with horses, hounds, and hawks—as he again got used to the movement of his own body. Then, wrapped in furs and warm boots, he began to walk outside in the gardens and woods. Even in the winter chill Rivendell was beautiful; the bitterest snows of the mountains did not penetrate into the Valley.
At night he sometimes had bad dreams of his ordeal, but soon found that he had also gained from the struggle. His sense of hearing and awareness of other creatures had grown more acute, almost as if he could feel with his feet that a fox dwelt in a den in the ground below. When he touched the bark of a tree, he felt its life surging under his warm hand. Far above he heard the hunting cries of an eagle and knew what prey the bird was stalking. In wonder he explored further and further as his strength returned.
He never saw Elrond, but from time to time he heard from Erestor that news had come of the campaign against the Sorcerer and his wolves and Orcs. The Rangers and the Elves were having little luck in hunting them down; the enemy seemed to have vanished into the earth itself. But the scouts kept up their vigilant guard around the entire Trollfells, expecting that when the warmer weather came, the enemy would again be busy. And still there was no news of Daeron and Rodnor, and fear grew that they were lost—and with them, the Ring of Barahir.
Each day, as the evening quenched the light of the sun, he studied history, poetry and the lore of healing out of the books in Elrond's vast library. Here he had spent many days in his youth, taking his lessons in mathematics, natural philosophy, history and the tongues of Elves and Men. But the library was so vast and so old that as a growing boy he had touched only a small part of the wisdom that slept there.
He read voraciously of the history of the First Age, seeking always for the story of Ahando and his deeds, but little was said beyond what he already knew. Guilty of many evil deeds he may have been as the servant of Celegorm, but what had brought him into the service of Sauron the Abhorred? That question was not answered, and Aragorn wondered if anyone would ever know.
He sought out the annals of the Northern Kingdom and found the words that he remembered from the archives in Thurnost:
The Witch-King of Angmar was Sauron's most fearsome servant, the Lord of the Ringwraiths himself, yet many others, albeit of lesser power, served him too. Little is known of some, for they fled when the power of Gondor, joined with the Men and Elves of the North, crushed Angmar at last.
After the last prince of the Dúnedain fled, the lord of Rhudaur in its later years was a king of the hill folk, but the wise know that the real command in that fell land was held by a sorcerer trained in Sauron's evil arts. He was no wraith, but his power was second only to that of the Witch-King. It may be that he bore one of the lesser rings or had another source of power that is yet unknown. None knew his name, and perhaps he had forgotten it himself, but some tell that he was a Black Númenorean whose life had been prolonged by unnatural and evil means.
Dark-haired and grey-eyed, noble of bearing, he insinuated himself into the counsels of the first kings of Rhudaur and so corrupted them. Every year, some said, on the darkest day of the winter, he would drink the blood of a newborn babe to renew the life within him. In this fashion he lived many hundreds of years.
But now they knew it was no blood of a newborn babe, indeed, but something just as horrible: the theft of a living Man's body by a Houseless Elf. Slowly Aragorn gained the ability to delve into all his memories of his dealings with the Sorcerer, and wondered if he would indeed face him again. He had threatened to again search out the Heir of Isildur. It was no idle threat. His grandfather, his father, his father's sister and child—all died at Ahando's will. He knew now in his gut that Elrond's warnings that he hide his identity from all strangers were wise and necessary. With some amusement amidst the grimness, he thought he would need yet another name. This time it would be one he chose for himself.
He read about Númenor in the days of its glory and remembered the glint of white sails on the edge of the far horizon of the sea that he had seen in the Pathways. He hungered to see the sea where once his forefathers were great mariners and travelers, and wondered if Númenoreans carried shipcraft in their blood. He read legends of Harad and other faraway lands in the East where the knowledge of the Valar had never come.
Always the memory of the Hall of Tapestries remained strong within him, and he searched the books of lore for any tie of what he had seen to the past, present or future.
At the end of every night, when only the stars and the candles lit the library, Aragorn pulled down the same old volume from the shelves: The Lay of Leithian.
As Beren looked into her eyes
Within the shadows of her hair,
The trembling starlight of the skies
He saw there mirrored shimmering.
Tinúviel the elven-fair,
Immortal maiden elven-wise,
About him cast her shadowy hair
And arms like silver glimmering.
As he chanted the verses softly to himself, always he saw the face of Arwen Undómiel in his mind's eye, and wondered if she had indeed spoken to him through the golden mirror, or if her voice had been only a phantom of his own desire.
A good month passed before he felt himself truly ready to return to the Pathways, and then at last he sought out Elrond in the healer's wing. He knocked on the door and waited till Elrond's voice bade him, "Come in."
Elrond was sitting at his vast worktable, writing in a book. His eyes grave, he rose from his chair. "You have recovered well, Aragorn."
Aragorn knew from one look at his foster father's face, and from the use of his given name, that they were not to speak of the hard words between them at the shore of the great sea. It is as well, for what more could be said? "I am ready for my training now, Master Elrond."
From that day on he spent his mornings at Elrond's side, and in the afternoons went to the practice field to regain his warrior's strength and skill. But they did not again enter that strange land where men walked in their own dreams. Instead he helped Elrond gather herbs and prepare medicines, much as he had as a boy, and treat the small injuries that happened each day to the dwellers in the Valley, for even Elves sprain their ankles, cut their fingers and suffer burns in a fire. At first he wondered when the real work would begin, but then he began to see that the sharpening of his awareness carried over into the skill of healing. When he touched a knee bruised in a fall, he sensed the hurt in the flesh and the distress of the Elf-woman who had slipped on the stairs. Closing his eyes, he grasped her injured knee in both hands and held firmly while concentrating on the feel of the flesh. After a time the Elf-woman sighed and seemed to relax.
"Sleep now," Aragorn said. But already her eyes had closed.
He stood up and looked at Elrond. "Was that—" he hardly knew what to call it.
"Yes," Elrond nodded. "Your touch has hastened the healing of her hurt. Now time will do the rest."
They walked together in the garden. "With time and practice," Elrond said, "you will learn how to harness and wield the power to its greatest extent."
"But when I healed Rodnor, I entered great shock and horror—a black thing—"
Elrond held up his hand. "Say no more. When you treat such wounds of the Enemy, where the dark arts are strong, you must enter into the Pathways with your very heart. You did so, but you did not yet know how to walk the way of your own power. He tried to overwhelm you and nearly succeeded—but in the end, you won."
Aragorn shuddered at the dark memory. "Barely."
"You will grow stronger. With the healing of small wounds and hurts you will learn to focus your power and grow in its use. You will learn how to fully unlock the power of athelas."
Silent, Aragorn pondered his words. Will I also learn how to walk the Paths of the Dead? Elrond had often spoken of destiny and hope, but Aragorn wondered if his great destiny was to find a glorious death in the war against the Enemy. So be it! Many men have achieved much less.
"If I live long enough," he said, but Elrond did not answer.
Gilraen watched over her son's convalescence with vigilance. Day by day his appetite grew and he began to put flesh back on his bones. She cherished being able to care for him again, even for so terrible a reason. She realized yet again how lonely she had been in Rivendell since he had left.
"Almost I am truly Estel again," he said, laughing, as he dined with her one evening. But still the dark look came into his face from time to time, and he still cried out in his dreams, and Gilraen knew he brooded on the fate of the warriors, his friends, on the hunt, and Rodnor and Daeron still lost who knew where. She, too, brooded, and thought often of Daeron and Rodnor, who had risked, and maybe lost, their lives to save her son. Aragorn's twenty-third birthday passed on March 1, but they had no spirits for more than a toast over their food. "I cannot celebrate while my friends are in danger, or maybe worse," Aragorn said. "And the Elves have little interest in the yearly celebrations of Men." But she kissed him warmly, and remembered the joy of having a baby at her breast. She thought often of the other baby, the girl-child who had died in her womb, but she did not speak of it. The memory of the Sorcerer's darkness was still too near for her son.
On a bright day that spoke of the coming spring, she was sitting by the hearth, mending, while Aragorn lounged on a bench at the window, reading a small book that he had fetched from his pack. "My great-grandmother Saelind gave me this book," he said. "There are many wonderful poems here. One she pointed out to me especially; it ends 'They also serve who only stand and wait.' I think I am beginning to have a glimmer of what that means."
Putting aside her cloth and needle, she looked up at him. "I remember Saelind speaking of that poem when I knew her in Thurnost. She said the poet spoke of the long years of the Dúnedain living in the shadows, unsung and unacknowledged. But when I hear it, I think of the labor of women—those who wait for their men to return, and sometimes they do not. But we too have a task."
" 'They also serve,' " Aragorn murmured. "It is well said."
A howling scream broke the peace of Elrond's House.
Frighted like a startled cat, Gilraen leaped up, her hand clutched to her breast. Aragorn sat up with a jolt and rose to his feet. "What devilry is this? My sword—"
The light patter of hurrying Elven feet sounded in the hallway, and a maid burst through the door without knocking. "The Master calls for you. Come quick! No, Lord Dúnadan, you do not need your weapon."
They followed her through the House to the wing where Elrond treated those who came to him for healing, but the Master himself met them in the corridor outside the rooms. Distress clouded his face.
"Rodnor and Daeron have been found at last," he said. "Halbarad brought them here. I need your help, both of you."
"Are they wounded?" Aragorn cried. "Why were we not told before?"
"No, no, not wounded," Elrond answered. "I was just going to send you a message to come to them when Rodnor made it unnecessary. Orcs drove them over the pass and they spent the winter east of the mountains, sheltering with the woodmen. Daeron is quite fit, not harmed at all beyond weariness. But Rodnor is in a bad way. He is terrified—" Elrond stopped, seemingly at a loss for words, his face turned toward the room within, as if listening.
"My healing was not complete," Aragorn said. "The Sorcerer haunts him still."
"That I do not know. I cannot even tell—because it is me he fears."
"You, Master Elrond!" Gilraen exclaimed, astonished. "Why?"
Elrond held out his hands to both of them. "He seems to be afraid of all Elves, but me especially. Halbarad could hardly get him to enter the Valley, only on command did he come. You must help me to reach him, both of you."
"Of course," Gilraen said. "What must we do?"
"Go in together. Daeron is there, alone with him for now. Talk to him. Find out what he fears."
"Where is Halbarad?" Aragorn asked.
"Eating and resting, as I commanded," Elrond said.
"Then I will see him later. Come, mother," Aragorn said, and took her arm.
Inside the room Rodnor crouched in a corner, both arms wrapped around his head. He moaned softly, rocking back and forth on his heels. Daeron stood over him, seemingly helpless. So distressed was she over Rodnor's sorry state, Gilraen gave scarce a thought to the scarred man who once was her betrothed. She knelt down before the boy and coaxed his hands into hers. "My dear," she said, "you are quite safe here. Have no fear."
"The king," moaned Rodnor. "The dead king."
"Rodnor, look at me!" Aragorn spoke in a voice of authority that Gilraen had never heard from him before. He even looked somehow bigger.
Blue-grey eyes peered out from Rodnor's tangle of ginger hair. "Aragorn," he whispered. "Help me."
"Stand up, Rodnor, and give me your hand." Aragorn held out his hand and raised the boy to his feet. "Now tell me, who is this king you speak of?"
"I saw him in the sparkling cave, all covered with blood. Then he walked before me here, into the room. The bright eyes! An Elvish ghost…." He shuddered.
Aragorn took hold of his wrists, closing his eyes, and his face grew remote with effort, until, at last, Rodnor cried out sharply. "The king! Do you see him?"
Aragorn released the boy's hands. His face was pale and drawn. "I see what has happened. Mother, stay here with Rodnor while I speak to Elrond."
"Come, Rodnor, sit here by the hearth." She raised her face to Daeron's, conscious of the blush she could feel suffusing her cheeks. "Help me."
"Listen to the lady," Daeron said in his gruff voice. "Come now, boy."
Gilraen sat beside Rodnor on the bench by the hearth, and stroked his face with a gentle hand. "There now, my dear, there now."
Daeron retreated across the room. Gilraen tried not to think of him standing there, watching her, and gave all her attention to the boy who shivered before her. It seemed an eternity before Aragorn came back. He sat on Rodnor's other side, took the boy's two hands in his and gazed into his eyes. "Rodnor, you are safe here, I swear it. The one you fear is no dead king, but my beloved foster father. Trust me, and let us help you. Close your eyes now, and breathe deep. I will protect you, and my father will help me."
The boy's eyes closed, and Aragorn whispered words over their grasped hands. Gilraen watched his intent face, amazed at what she saw. She did not hear Elrond's footsteps as he approached but saw only his two hands close over Aragorn's, wrapped around Rodnor's. Utter silence filled the room, but for their slow, deep breathing. Rodnor's face relaxed into peace, and he slumped forward in a profound sleep. Elrond released his hands, and Aragorn and Daeron together lifted Rodnor to the waiting bed.
"He will sleep well now," Elrond said. "The attendant will watch over him."
"But one of us should be here when he wakes," Gilraen said.
"I can stay," Daeron said.
Elrond shook his head. "No, you need rest yourself to recover from your months away."
"I will stay with Rodnor," Gilraen said. "You are all three weary now." She saw with motherly alarm the pallor of her son's face.
"True," Elrond smiled. "It was a trial unusual even for me."
"What happened?" asked Daeron in his harsh voice.
Aragorn sighed. "Apparently Elrond bears a great resemblance to his grandfather, Dior, Thingol's Heir and Lúthien's son, who died at the hands of Celegorm in Doriath three Ages ago. Rodnor recognized him from the dreams of terror the Sorcerer had inflicted on him."
"Yes," Elrond said, "And only through Aragorn was I able to reach him. Your son has a remarkable power, Gilraen."
"He does," Daeron said. "It is what saved me."
Gilraen turned to face him. "And you saved him, and all of us, Daeron son of Galion. We, and I especially, owe you more than I can say. Thank you."
"It was only my duty," Daeron said. Emotion flickered across his reddened face, and he quickly turned his one good eye away. "As a Ranger owes to his lord."
Aragorn put out his hand and grasped Daeron's forearm in a soldier's greeting. "Come with me now, we'll find you some food and rest."
As the men left Gilraen heard Rodnor stirring. Kneeling at his bedside, she smiled down on the motherless boy. His blue eyes opened. "Lady Gilraen," he said weakly.
"I am here," she said. And she knew then what she wanted to do.

Meet Michael Jarboe
Irving, Texas
Home church
St. Luke United Methodist Church, Bryan, Texas
Degree program
Master of divinity Other degrees: B.A., communications
Formative experiences
One person who had a significant influence on my call to ministry was Katie McKay Simpson (G-ETS 2007), an associate pastor at First United Methodist Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. After a coffee conversation filled with laughter, tears, and prayer, I was thankful that Katie recognized gifts within me that she thought would benefit the church.
Personal information
I was introduced to the church and to performing when I was five years old and a neighbor invited me to join the children's choir at First United Methodist Church in Irving. During high school I found myself enrolled in choir and theater, always auditioning and performing for anyone who would watch. At Centenary College, I was involved in the choir, the United Methodist Student Movement, and Canterbury House ministries. I also had a radio show on KSCL 91.3 and was active in the Centenary Musical Theater Group. My greatest accomplishments were being voted by my college peers to be the class speaker at commencement and asking my high school sweetheart, Lesley Jones, to be my wife.
Experiences at Garrett-Evangelical
During two visits to campus prior to admission, I was struck by the culturally diverse student body and the large number of ordained professors who had served both in local congregations and in the classroom. The sense of community was intoxicating from the moment I came to campus. Community Meal on Wednesday night is like a big family gathering.
I feel called back to the local church in an urban Texas setting as an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church. I hope to be a voice that helps alleviate tension between the intersection of church and society by helping people find outlets to express their faith through film, blogging, tweeting, art, and the creative process.
The church is the vehicle in which God is bringing the kingdom into the world. If I can help people grasp the reality of that statement then I believe we can make a difference and be people of example in our communities.

Revamping a style staple, the Original Penguin Earl Polo defies convention, and defies you to find a better fit. Is your interest piqued? We'll attribute that to The Earl's pique fabrication.

- Pique Fabrication
- Light Garment Wash

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 20 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brandon Hands down, my favorite polo of all time I love the Earl Polo (Heritage fit). By far, it's the best fitting polo I've ever worn. I am a fairly slim guy (5'8", 145 lbs), and the size small fits perfect. It's not overly tight in any areas and it doesn't look like I'm wearing a bag. I love the style with the contrast piping, and it looks good tucked or untucked. I wear it untucked for casual wear, but I would also be comfortable wearing it tucked if I was playing a round of golf. The only negative thing would probably be that the material shows wrinkles somewhat easily and after a wash it faded ever so slightly, but that's to be expected of most pique polos. I currently own 2 colors, a dark red and Ceylon Blue. I will definitely be buying more in the future. It's just a matter of finding a color combination that I like since I personally don't like some of the color combinations. November 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Luisy Underestimated I love this shirt. Looking for a stylish uniform to wear at school and this goes extremely well with the khakis I bought at the Original Penguin store. Truly catches attention and makes you feel better. Only problem I think I'll have is when raising my hand in class... I think I might show some of my belly but that's about it for the bad side. I LOVE IT. Thank You OriginalPenguin!! July 22, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by TMac The Lumberjack Nice Polo Overall I like the Earl Polo. I usually by Daddy-O Polos from Penguin but I wanted to try something different. I'm a young guy (21) and I've found if I button the buttons on this shirt, it tends to look a little too old man for someone around my age. I do really like the shirt, but its not quite as versatile as another Penguin polo like the Daddy-O. August 2, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Penguin24 The Earl..a classic Overall a class product. Looks great with anything. Very comfortable to wear while playing golf or just at a casual outing...plus you look tremendous and the fit is top quality. July 22, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by M & E Classic Styling This shirt is a great example of a versatile classic. The styling of the shirt has stood the test of time. Everyone can pull it off, young or old, small or large, and it does not matter if your a style driven guy or a casual everyday kind of guy, this shirt works for everyone. You can throw it on with a pair of jeans and a light jacket to go out for the day or dress it up a little bit and wear it to a party. Very Versatile! March 15, 2010
Rated 2 out of 5 by Joe Cool Not so youthful anymore I have an Earl from a few years back and an Earl from a more recent season, and the fits aren't the same at all. Why is this one baggier and shorter? Don't even bother with this unless you're chubby, muscular or you want to look fourty. March 12, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Christopher Michael Polo Perfection The Earl is a must have in any stylish man's wardrobe. It truly speaks for itself and makes a statement about the wearer! February 2, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by David A.K.A. Meogie Me search for a polo ends with an earl. I have been to many shops looking for the right polo(s) and Penguin is quite a rare brand to come across here in Dublin. When i did find the right Polo(s) they had ridiculous prices, So i decided to search the internet for a more wider range of Polo(s). I looked up [...]... None of these gave me a "wow factor" for the price they were, so when it came to Penguin i fell in love with the simple design of The Earl. The smallest lining on the polo is so effective to its look. I havnt a bad thing to say about The Earl, it also fits well not baggy around the waist or the arms, but at the same time its not the kind of thight that makes you feel uncomfortable. Take my word.

MILL HALL, PA—Congressman Glenn "GT" Thompson (R-PA) joined The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility to bring Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don't Mix to students at Central Mountain Middle School today. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility created an interactive, physical fitness activity that builds on the existing Ask, Listen, Learn program and encourages kids to "say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking." The initiative is based on research by Harvard Medical School's Dr. John Ratey, showing that for a person's brain to function at its peak; the body needs to move. The interactive activity, as well as a supporting website, encourages kids to live a healthy lifestyle. The website also provides parents with information and strategies to help jumpstart the conversation about the dangers of underage drinking.
"It's important that kids understand that the choices they make today—good or bad—will have a lasting impact on their lives," said Congressman Thompson. "I'm proud to participate in the creative work the Ask, Listen, Learn team is doing to engage children in the sometimes challenging discussion about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and the hazards of underage drinking."
Sarah Cissna of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility added, "According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, nearly 16% of 12 to 14 year olds report they have consumed alcohol in the past month. Our Ask, Listen, Learn program has the potential to further reduce these numbers, as half (49%) of 12-14 year olds believe alcohol education has made a difference in the decision they have made regarding alcohol."
"We are thrilled The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility was able to bring their Ask, Listen, Learn program to Central Mountain Middle School. Talking about the dangers of underage drinking with our youth is incredibly important and I have a feeling after today's event our students will be asking to play the interactive activity a lot. I believe the more enthusiasm we can build around this important issue – saying 'no' to underage drinking – the smarter choices our students will make," said Principal Mark Rowedder.
Developed over six years ago, Ask, Listen, Learn has already reached millions of parents, kids, and teachers around the country. Ask, Listen, Learn's new initiatives include:
Asklistenlearn.com encourages kids to "say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking" by offering kids interactive and educational games and videos.
- Any kid can become a member of the Ask, Listen, Learn Team by taking a pledge to make healthy choices.
- Ask, Listen, Learn utilizes role models such as Speed Skater Apolo Anton Ohno and professional track stars Tyson Gay and Bryan Clay, and swimmers Rebecca Soni and Mallory Weggemann as "SuperStars." Ask, Listen, Learn Team members will be encouraged to read Questions and Answers from SuperStars to learn how elite athletes dealt with peer pressure as they were growing up. SuperStars will encourage kids to make responsible decisions and live a healthy lifestyle.
- Ask, Listen, Learn will have a supplement in Scholastic where teachers may find information about the program and how to incorporate it into their lesson plans, kids can tear out posters, and can play educational games to learn about living a healthy lifestyle and saying no to underage drinking.

How to prepare for new flooring
Whether you go for vinyl, carpet or even ceramic tiles, changing your floor covering is a great way to give a room a new lease of life. But before you start work, make sure the surface underneath is sound and level. If it isn't, any defects are likely to show through. This will spoil the look of your new floor and eventually cause it to wear unevenly. Luckily, there are some effective ways to deal with problem floors which we will share with you.

Gallery: WaterShed: University of Maryland's Solar Decathlon Home Gives...
Although the University of Maryland may have a home court advantage for the upcoming competition, now set to take place at West Potomac Park, we're not going to hold it against them. The small home is split up into two modules connected together by the bathroom, which is where the water axis is located. This core water system collects rainwater from the roof and then diverts it to services in the house. The remaining rainwater and grey water are then processed through the living machine, before finally being diverted into stormwater catchment.
One half of the butterfly roof is covered in photovoltaic panels to generate electricity for the home and hopefully sell it back if the conditions are favorable. The other half is a green roof to help absorb rainwater and insulate the home. A solar thermal hot water system provides domestic hot water, while a ground source heat pump helps efficiently heat and cool the home. WaterShed also features daylighting, natural ventilation, passive solar design, an edible garden and living walls. The student's from the University of Maryland hope to show that by using integrated systems, you can achieve far greater efficiency and much lower impact.

I was just talking about getting something like this, anyone have any experience with these?
huh???? 32 degrees? Guess these won't work in winter.....
"Working Temperature: 32° ~ 104°F"
Where I live it is consistently over 110* in the summer and most of the spring and fall. I would venture a guess and say that this wouldn't work out doors for me then?
heres a couple reviews that make this seem very simple to set up. I'm in for one.

Yeah, just read reviews on Amazon that they're not weatherproof....thus the 32 degrees. Oh well.
So Amazon has it for only 15 dollars more.
Not much of a deal.
