Peavy's return highlights Sox-Sox series opener
Right-hander amped to see friends in matchup with rookie Johnson
Chris Sale knew his work schedule for the upcoming three-game set against Boston, with the White Sox ace pitching in the series finale Thursday night at U.S. Cellular Field.
Sale was not aware of the set day for Jake Peavy, his good friend and mentor with the White Sox until Peavy was moved to Boston as part of a three-team deal on July 30 last season.
"There's nothing more that I'd love than to have him throw on Thursday," said Sale with a broad smile.
That anticipation quickly turned to disappointment for Sale, when he found out Peavy starts for Boston in Tuesday's series opener on Jackie Robinson Day, and it's Jon Lester on Thursday.
"I said, 'I know you wanted an Old Man Peavy but you're going to get our lefty Thursday night.' I said, 'You're going to be the best left-hander, you've got to surpass this guy that we're throwing at you,'" Peavy said. "Thursday night will be fun. Chris Sale is such a good kid and one of my dear, dear buddies, and I pull for him and still keep in good contact with him on a weekly basis really. Two pretty good left-handers going at you Thursday night."
Peavy pitched parts of five seasons for the White Sox after coming over from the Padres in 2009. Though Peavy is the most recent departure from Chicago to Boston, the Red Sox roster also features catcher A.J. Pierzynski and pitching coach Juan Nieves.
Nieves served as White Sox bullpen coach from 2008-12, before helping the Red Sox win the '13 World Series championship. Pierzynski holds a special place among the White Sox fan base as the starting catcher on their '05 World Series title squad and the man behind the plate through '12.
Pierzynski was honored by the White Sox via a video scoreboard tribute when he returned with Texas last season. The fans and players will look forward to seeing these ex-White Sox, but the good will ends once the first pitch is thrown.
"You wish them all the best, except for when they are playing us," Sale said. "A.J. being my first catcher, Peavy being kind of the leader of our staff for the first couple of years I was here, it's different. I would like to have those guys here. It's kind of the nature of the beast and that's how the business goes."
Peavy actually started against the White Sox on Aug. 31 at Fenway Park. He allowed five hits and two earned runs over seven innings and 109 pitches, picking up the win in a 7-2 Red Sox victory.
His homecoming comes against a new-look White Sox lineup and with rookie Erik Johnson as his mound counterpart.
"It will be strange. We enjoyed having him here and he was a good pitcher," Chicago manager Robin Ventura said of Peavy. "I'm sure guys will have fun. They will try to do something to distract him, I'm sure."
"For us, it was kind of fun, something new in September," said White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn of last year's matchup. He has two career homers against Peavy. "For him, he's trying to get his team in the playoffs so it meant probably more to him because of the situation. It's definitely less of a circus because it's a year removed. It's always fun for me because he's one of my buddies."
Cold weather on Tuesday could be as big of an issue for Peavy as the White Sox. And while he might spend time with Dunn or Sale in between games, that friendship will be tossed aside on the field.
"This guy is like my family. It's like facing a brother. It's a little bit different," Peavy said of Dunn. "I promise you, when you get out on the field, I don't have any hate in my life outside the game of baseball, but I really ... when I get on the field, I don't like the opposition.
"If I had to use the word hate, I hate them. I don't want to like them. I think I can really get in that mode, even though it's the White Sox. I'm going to spend some time with 'Dunner' over these next few days, but I will not like him on Tuesday night and he won't like me."
White Sox: Beckham returns to action
Gordon Beckham hadn't played on his injury rehab assignment since April 3 with Double-A Birmingham, but he was cleared for baseball activity Sunday morning and returned to the Barons' lineup. He tweaked his strained left oblique muscle during Spring Training and opened the 2014 season on the disabled list.
Beckham singled to left in his first at-bat as Birmingham's designated hitter, batting second, and then walked and scored on Trayce Thompson's home run during the Barons' 9-1 victory. There is no timetable for Beckham's return to the White Sox, although both general manager Rick Hahn and Ventura said their second baseman won't be rushed. He needs to play a few games in a row in the field at full health.
Red Sox: Badenhop off to slow start
Reliever Burke Badenhop, one of the key new pieces to the bullpen, has gotten off to a slow start. After a scoreless first outing, Badenhop has given up runs in his last three appearances.
"I just need to be ahead in the count more. I thought I made some pretty decent pitches," Badenhop said. "I can't possibly be giving up more hits than I have been, knock on wood. So I just need to be in the zone and be a little more aggressive and stuff like that. It obviously wasn't the start I wanted to see. Hopefully there's light at the end of that tunnel."
Though Badenhop's best role is to come in and get a double play, he's also been used in some long-relief situations.
"His multi-inning ability is what puts him as a leading candidate early in the game as we've done in recent series," Boston manager John Farrell said. "[Saturday] he was the available guy as we've gone through a number of lefties and who else was available down in that bullpen. He's well aware that he could slide in at any point during the game."
Worth noting
• White Sox infielder Marcus Semien is hitting .412 (7-for-17) in the seventh inning or later.
• White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu's sixth-inning single Sunday snapped an 0-for-10 streak.
• By a wide margin, Pierzynski has played more games at U.S. Cellular Field than in any other venue. In 571 games there, Pierzynski is a .283 hitter with 76 homers and 252 RBIs.

What I think is most interesting with these benchmark results is that the r300g driver seems to be A LOT faster than just a month ago. Check the graph for Open Arena in this article. Its about twice as fast with the same graphics card while the classic driver shows the same numbers. And as you can see in this new article the numbers are not at all cpu limited, so the weaker cpu in the older test should not be a factor.
Looks really promising.

Top Definition
Similar to metrosexual but one who lives in the mountains or otherwise pursues the outdoors adventure lifestyle. Kind of a cleaned-up granola, a Woodsy GQ kinda guy with a splash of bohemian. Knows that he doesn't have to look or smell like a dirtbag to enjoy climbing, hiking, cycling, skiing (all forms), snowshoeing, etc. Probably reads Men's Journal, Outside, Outside's Go, National Geographic Adventure, even Wallpaper* and Dwell. Brands: Patagonia, Keen, Kuhl, The North Face, Mountain Hardwear, Marmot, Mountain Khakis. Strong environmental ethic. Drives a well-maintained truck, performance SUV, or cross-over when absolutely necessary but walks or rides a bicycle whenever possible. Works out gym but primarily to be in shape for outdoor pursuits. Shuns chain stores and shops in outdoor specialty stores such as The Trailhead in Buena Vista, Colorado.

American Firehouse Tour
Hi there,
If this a violation of the forum rules, we aplogize. We're trying rapidly to spread the word because the goal of this song and tour is to raise public awareness of the local Fire Department and we need all of your help to make this happen.
Just in case you havent heard it yet, country singer/songwriter Paul Cummings, a member of the Bergen Fire Department, has written and recorded a song dedicated to Firefighters.
We encourage you to download it for free and pass it to all your members and anyone you know. The goal is to bring the public up close and personal with the Fire Department and since there has never been a song truly dedicated to Firefighters, this is a good way.
To listen and download the song, please visit www.pauljcummings.com/firefighters.html
A Nationwide Tour is being set up right now thanks to this song. Nashville Recording Artist Derek Joseph will be teaming up with Paul for the The Paul Cummings and Derek Joseph American Firehouse Tour. The tour will kick off September 11th, 2010 in New York City, and end March 11, 2011 in San-Diego California.
The tour will be making 4 stops in your region so if youd like more information on how your department can be included, please let us know and someone will be in touch and ready to send out our packet of details. Its about time someone stood up and honored our nations Fire Departments.
E-Mail firetribute@pauljcummings or call 585-755-0141. Thanks!
Thanks so much and also for your continued service.

Norovirus infection occurs in the stomach and intestines. It is most often call the stomach flu. Outbreaks often occur in areas with close contact such as:
These infections are caused by a specific group of viruses. The viruses can spread through:
The viruses can also spread by direct contact with an ill person. This is common in a daycare center or nursing home.
Any person who ingests the virus is at risk of getting this infection. Older children and adults commonly get this infection.
Even if you have been infected with norovirus in the past, you can become ill again if:
If you have any of these do not assume it is due to norovirus. These may be caused by other health conditions. Symptoms may include:
Symptoms often appear within 24-48 hours of exposure to the virus. Symptoms often last about 24-60 hours.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your doctor may determine you have a stomach flu from your symptoms. It is rarely necessary to determine the exact virus causing the infection. Stool and blood samples may be taken if your doctor wants to know the exact type of virus causing the problem.
A norovirus infection will go away on its own. Medical treatment is often not needed since the illness is often brief and mild.
Most people will recover by resting and drinking plenty of fluids. Oral rehydration solutions are the best option to help replace fluids and electrolytes. These can be found in most drugstores. Severe dehydration may require IV fluids in a hospital but this is a rare complication.
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses. There are no antiviral medications or vaccines used to fight or prevent this infection.

Like most sys admin, I'm lazy. I try to automate almost all things in order to save time. Inexperienced sys admin and help desk staff working under me finds all these tools useful. It saves their time and avoids security issues. Automation allows help desk staff to do things that they don't have enough direct system knowledge to do themselves. However, selecting correct tool and applying correct methodology is very important.

Looks Fantastic and is Reliable
By Terry
from Camp Hill, PA
Best Uses
I have this item outside my home hanging on a lighting fixture by the garage. It looks wonderful both up close and from the roadway. The battery is reliable, as is the timer. Once set it comes on at the same time every day, remains on for six hours and then goes out for 18 hours. It would be nice if it could be on a little longer (8 hours) however, I love this item, and would recommend it all day long.

By Leny
from Maple Ridge, BC
It's even more beautiful than it looked in the picture! I wish the Christmas season were closer so that I could put it on my front door. The built in timer function will make it easy to use.

Great product
By Marie
from Florida
I had looked at a similar product sold by other companies, but decided on this one due to positive customer online feedback. I purchased two teardrop swags and am very pleased with them. They are beautiful; I like the size as well, not too big and not too small. The timer works well and is a great feature.
product performs as advertised.

By Cop's wife
from Oklahoma City, OK
The swags look great hanging from the brick columns on each side of our front porch. Because I wanted more color, I added BIG red bows at the top of each swag. It's so convenient to have the lights on a timer....just wish there were a lot more lights!
I will by this product again
By Fran
from Houston, TX
Very easy to hang and hung securely in place. Beautifully decorated.
I would buy this product any time
By Candy
from Monroe, NC
This product was used in the front entrance of our house. Our house sits on a small hill overlooking the roadway and is very visible to people that drive by. It is simplistic which makes it beautiful. Great for Christmas or even Thanksgiving and New Years Eve.

Awesome product!
By Yankee In Virginia

I purchased two of these teardrop swags for the front of my home. They looked so nice that I went back and bought the coordinating wreath for the front door as well! Love the timer feature, and the batteries eliminate the ugly cords. I would highly recommend this product.

Legislation to improve patient access to physical therapist services in Texas took an important step on Thursday, April 11, when Texas HB 1039, Patient Access to Physical Therapy, was considered in the Texas House Committee on Public Health. Texas Chapter members provided excellent oral testimony to the committee in support of the legislation, including physical therapists Michael Connors, PT, DPT, OCS, Cynthia Fisher, PT, DPT, MS, PCS, Nick Patel, PT, DPT, CSCS, CCP, Mike Geelhoed, PT, DPT, OCS, MTC, Jennifer Kish, PT, DPT, SCS, Kathleen Manella, PT, PhD, Matt Walk, PT, FAAOMPT, Allan Besselink, PT, Dip.MDT, Ben Keene, PT, OCS, FAAOMPT, and Jarod Carter, PT.
Opposition testimony to HB 1039 was provided by the Texas Orthopaedic Association and a physical therapist employed in a physician-owned clinic. The Texas Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also provided testimony against the bill, expressing concern about the ability of physical therapists to perform dry needling.
Improving patient access in the Lone Star state has been an important goal for the Texas Chapter.
The legislation awaits action by the House Public Health Committee; the deadline for house bills to be reported out by house committees is Monday, May 6. Meanwhile, the chapter is also advocating for House Bill 2357 and Senate Bill 1099, legislation that would provide title protection for the doctor of physical therapy (DPT) and master of physical therapy (MPT).

Was it completely broken using TTM? Just wondering why you didn't try that.
Also, I thought FBO and pretty much everything new that was in this code was only enabled if you were using the new memory manager. Are you sure it was enabled for these tests?
Of course, the larger point you made here that the driver still has a long way to go is absolutely correct. It's exciting to finally see some progress, though. Hopefully 3D r6xx/r7xx won't be far behind.
Yep, this link seems to confirm it - you're not enabling FBO for these tests. http://airlied.livejournal.com/66706.html
It also seems like they weren't aware of these serious regressions - maybe a non-mobility card would fare better?

39 RYAN NEWMAN, Chevrolet
Team: Stewart-Haas Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 15th, 26 points out of the top 10. Stands second in the race for the two wild card spots in the Chase with one win.
ATLANTA RECORD: Six top-10 finishes in 20 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Newman knows he needs to have a "real good weekend" at Atlanta to stay in the thick of the hunt for the final two spots in the Chase for the Championship. "Things are really tight," adds Newman. "From seventh or eighth on back to where I'm at, every point is so important. We need to run up front and stay out of trouble."
LOOKING BACK: Newman finished 21st at Bristol after being involved in a multi-car accident with 53 laps to go. "I think it was Brian Vickers and Denny Hamlin who made contact and that triggered a big mess," said Newman. "Our Quicken Loans Chevrolet was damaged pretty significantly. It was a handful to drive those last 50 laps. The guys did a great job on pit road, getting it fixed enough so we could finish the race. Every single point is so important."
ETC.: Newman is one of the leading candidates for the ride being vacated by Juan Pablo Montoya. But he also knows that Kyle Larson, the young phenom on the Nationwide Series, is under contract to Earnhardt Ganassi Racing and may be in line to drive the 42 car in 2014 and beyond. "Right now, I don't know what is in store for me," said Newman. Earnhardt Ganassi Racing said it plans to announce the new driver for the 42 car on Friday afternoon.
1 JAMIE MCMURRAY, Chevrolet
Team: Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates
WHERE HE STANDS: 16th, 38 points out of the top 10.
ATLANTA RECORD: Four top-10 finishes in 19 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: McMurray said, "This will be a critical weekend for our team if we are to maintain a chance to stay in contention for the Chase. We have had pretty good cars on all the 1.5-mile tracks this year, so hopefully we can continue that trend in Atlanta. We need to have a really good weekend."
LOOKING BACK: With about 100 laps to go, McMurray told his crew that smoke was filling the cockpit and the car had become extremely loose. This forced an unscheduled pit stop where the crew determined that a tire issue was causing the problem. McMurray returned to the track two laps down as he ended the day in 19th place. "It was a disappointing turn of events for our McDonald's team tonight," said McMurray. "We had a good car early in the race and we were making good adjustments to make our way to the front. Apparently we had a tire issue and that put us a couple of laps down. Just a tough way to end our night."
ETC.: McMurray stands second in the percentage of laps completed in 2013. He has finished 98.95 percent of the laps run this season. "That shows what good cars we have put on the track this year and how good our team has performed on those days when things didn't go right," said McMurray.
27 PAUL MENARD, Chevrolet
Team: Richard Childress Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 17th, 47 points out of the top 10.
ATLANTA RECORD: Finished eighth last year for his second top-eight finish in the last four races.
LOOKING AHEAD: Menard calls Atlanta "one of my favorite tracks. I've had some good races there in the past and we've got some momentum heading into this weekend after our sixth-place finish at Bristol. Atlanta's a track that races really well and it's a lot of fun, especially with it now being a night race."
LOOKING BACK: Menard finished sixth for his third straight top-10 finish at Bristol. "It's great to bring home another top-10 finish this weekend," said a beaming Menard. "Bristol has been good to me over the past couple of years, and I love this short-track racing. We had a great Schrock/Menards car and it was awesome to be able to lead some laps tonight. We got shuffled back in the field taking fuel, but we were able to make some ground up with pit strategy at the end."
ETC.: Menard knows his only chance of making the Chase is by winning either Atlanta or Richmond or both. And for that reason, he says "If we need to do some gambling, we'll do it. We've run well the last two weeks with finishes of fourth and sixth so we feel good about the direction we're heading. We've got to just step it up a little (to get to victory lane)."
43 ARIC ALMIROLA, Ford
Team: Richard Petty Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: 18th, 69 points out of the top 10. Gained one spot last week.
ATLANTA RECORD: Best finish in two starts is 21st.

By JeanMarie Brownson, Dinner at Home
October 3, 2012
Advertisement |
Decades ago, our family spent vacations camping in Arkansas. We'd eat out twice: Once for fried catfish and hush puppies and the other time for a pancake breakfast. Reading the menus in the Mountain Home cafe, my Chicago-born siblings and I would marvel at the odd-sounding options, especially biscuits and gravy. We knew biscuits: Our mom served them for dessert with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. But breakfast? With sausage gravy? Not so much.
I was newly married and a culinary school graduate when I ordered them at a coffee shop in Brown County, Ind. Fluffy white biscuits split open and completely covered in a pale, chunky white sauce. My husband immediately embraced the richness.
My conversion proved slower. During three decades of travel together, we've continue to order the dish whenever it appears on menus. A diner in Austin, Texas, filled with antique mixers, toasters and coffee pots, serves my favorite rendition: Crusty, herb-riddled biscuits topped with gravy flavored with rusty red, spicy chorizo sausage.
We incorporate this version into our special occasion weekend breakfasts. So much so that I stock the freezer with chorizo and keep the vegetable shortening chilled. To make the morning prep go faster, I mix all the dry ingredients for the biscuits in advance. No matter the recipe, warm, fresh-baked biscuits always gratify.
The best tip for light, fluffy and delicious biscuits: Do not use excess baking powder. The biscuits will have a bitter, metallic aftertaste (which I always detect in the refrigerated dough versions). That's also my problem with self-rising flour and buttermilk baking mixes — excessive leavening giving an off taste. It's simple enough to mix flour, salt and baking powder anyway.
Seasoned pork sausage, crumbled and skillet-browned, flavors the classic milk-based gravy served throughout the South. If the sausage is good, so follows the gravy, since it's based on the sausage drippings. Typically, the chub of bulk breakfast sausage flavored with sage and herbs gets top billing.
The Austin diner version I like uses Mexican chorizo, typically made from ground pork, red chilies and vinegar. (Don't confuse Mexican chorizo with the Spanish version that is actually a cured sausage like salami.) The recipe that follows also tastes great with spicy Italian sausage.
You can always skip the gravy and serve the herb-studded biscuits with skillet-fried eggs. Or, add them to the dinner table with sweet, soft butter. I also like to eat them warm with a smear of mayo and thin slices of prosciutto or country ham.
The Northerner in me puts sliced ripe tomatoes and/or salad greens on the plate (dressed with lime juice and salt). Strong black coffee and fresh grapefruit juice work to cut the richness. Then take a nap. You deserve it.
Herbed breakfast biscuits
Prep: 25 minutes
Cook: 12 minutes
Makes: 12 biscuits
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour (or more all-purpose flour)
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 to 3 teaspoons sugar, to taste
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
3 tablespoons trans fat-free vegetable shortening, very cold
3 to 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or chives (or a combination)
¾ cup whole milk or half-and-half, very cold
Milk for brushing on top
1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Put flours, baking powder, sugar and salt into a food processor or into a large bowl. Pulse or stir to mix. Drop diced butter and shortening randomly over the flour mixture. Pulse or use two knives to cut the butter and shortening into the flours until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in herbs. Sprinkle the milk over the mixture. Pulse or stir until the mixture barely gathers into a ball.
2. Transfer to a piece of floured wax paper; gather into a ball. Cover with a second piece of floured wax paper; gently roll or press into an even 1/2-inch thick circle. Use a floured 3-inch round biscuit cutter or drinking glass to cut into circles. Place the circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Very gently gather up the scraps; roll into a 1/2-inch thick piece and cut more biscuits.
3. Brush the tops with milk; bake until tops are golden, 12-15 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Serve warm.

For centuries, Weimar in Thuringia was at the centre of intellectual life in Germany: the city experienced its heyday in the early 19th century when it was home to no fewer than three of Europe's leading intellectuals – Goethe, Schiller and Herder. The Classical Weimar ensemble is testimony to the enlightened, courtly but also civic culture of the period around 1800.
A new era of tolerance, education for the masses and Humanist views: Weimar became a focal point of European intellectual thought and Weimar Classicism became a part of World Cultural Heritage. Important reminders of Classical Weimar include the baroque house on Frauenplan that was Goethe's home for almost 50 years. Today, the house looks largely as it did during the final years of his life. Diagonally opposite is the Schwanenbräu inn where the great master liked to indulge in a beer – and it's still open for business today. Goethe's summer house in the park on the river Ilm was a gift from Duke Carl August to tie the poet to Weimar – and it was always to remain his sanctuary in the midst of nature.
The name of Friedrich Schiller is also inextricably linked with Weimar. The writer spent the final years of his life in a town house on what was then the Weimar esplanade. Nowadays the house is furnished with period furniture, some of which is original, while the permanent exhibition 'Schiller in Thuringia' gives an insight into his life and work.
The philosopher and theologian Johann Gottfried Herder came to Weimar at the insistence of Goethe. The garden of his home and the town church in which he worked as a priest can still be visited in Weimar today.
With literary works spanning the 9th to the 21st century, the Duchess Anna Amalia library is a veritable temple to learning. At its heart is the famous Rococo Hall, which is now once again open to visitors in restricted numbers following a devastating fire in 2004.
People come in their droves every year for 'Weimar Summer': with theatre, open-air concerts, film screenings and much more, it offers another highlight nearly every day. The famous onion market in October, which attracts around 300,000 visitors, is the biggest Volksfest not only in Weimar but also in the whole of Thuringia.
Guided tours run by Weimar Tourist Information
March to October: 10am to 2pm daily, also at 4pm on Saturdays; November to February: 11am daily

Report: Hazing rules ignored before death at FAMU
Friday - 12/28/2012, 5:14pm EST
By GARY FINEOUT
Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A blistering state report released Friday contends that Florida A&M University officials failed to follow state laws and regulations on hazing in the years leading up to the death of a FAMU drum major.
A 32-page report from the Florida Board of Governors inspector general's office concludes that the school lacked internal controls to prevent or detect hazing, citing a lack of communication among top university officials, the police department and the office responsible for disciplining students.
But investigators said there was insufficient evidence to conclude whether university officials ignored allegations of hazing given to them by the former director of The Marching 100 band shortly before the November 2011 death of Robert Champion.
Larry Robinson, FAMU's interim president, said the university would officially review the report for any inaccuracies, but noted there were no new incidents detailed in the report. Still, he said the university would use the report to make sure that it had taken appropriate steps to prevent future hazing incidents.
"What I want to focus on is what we are doing at the university to minimize the chances of things happening again," Robinson said.
The report comes at a critical time for FAMU. Earlier this month a regional accrediting organization placed the school on probation for 12 months. The university has one year to prove it is turning itself around or its accreditation could be revoked.
FAMU officials say they have already made sweeping changes in the aftermath of Champion's death, which also resulted in the retirement of the band director and the resignation of the university president. The Marching 100 band remains suspended, but when it is reinstated band members will have to meet strict new eligibility requirements, including a minimum grade point average.
Robinson said that he still does not know when the Marching 100 will return. FAMU still has not picked a new band director, or hired someone for two other positions intended to help the university clamp down on hazing at the school.
The report caps a tumultuous year for the university, which has also endured a criminal investigation into the finances of the Marching 100 as well as the revelation that the university trustees were given false audit summaries by university auditors.
State University System Chancellor Frank Brogan stated in a memo sent out Friday that the problems detailed in recent months at the university "did not happen simply by accident, nor did they result from benign neglect."
"The problems that have permeated FAMU for more than a year were a direct result of action or inaction by FAMU personnel, who either had not developed adequate policies or simply did not enforce policies that were in place," Brogan wrote.
Brogan recommended that the Florida Board of Governors _ which oversees the state university system _ work closely with FAMU officials in the months to come and report regularly on the actions being taken.
It was the board's own inspector general who issued Friday's report, which was ordered shortly after Champion was beaten by fellow members of FAMU's famed band during a hazing ritual aboard a charter bus. More than a dozen students were charged for their role in Champion's death.
But the inspector general looked at how FAMU officials handled hazing complaints during the tenure of former FAMU President James Ammons. The report echoes an Associated Press story from March detailing how hundreds of pages of public records showed that repeated warnings about brutal hazing passed without any serious response from the school's leadership until Champion's death.
The Board of Governors' inspector general conducted more than 35 interviews and reviewed more than 7,000 pages of documents covering 2007 through 2011.
The final report found that hazing complaints were not routinely forwarded to the school's judicial affairs office for review or disciplinary action, band member eligibility was seldom verified, there was no central database to track hazing complaints, and there was no communication between police and the school's judicial affairs office. For example, nine hazing cases investigated by FAMU police were never referred back to the judicial affairs office to see whether student conduct rules were violated.
The report points out that rules adopted back in 1998 intended to prevent hazing in the band were ignored.
Investigators also tried to figure out what happened at a Nov. 16, 2011 meeting that was held just days before Champion's death.
Top FAMU officials at the meeting discussed hazing in the band and the possibility of hazing at the upcoming Florida Classic game being held in Orlando. The meeting was being held shortly after band director Julian White suspended nearly 30 students for the game due to hazing allegations.

IUCN's work is driven by two features of life today: Global production and consumption patterns are destroying our life support system – nature – at persistent and dangerously high rates.
And people, communities, governments and private actors are under-using the potential power of nature and the solutions it can provide to global challenges in fields such as climate change, food security, social and economic development. IUCN calls these nature-based solutions.
Our work builds upon IUCN's niche as the world's authority on biodiversity conservation, nature-based solutions and related environmental governance. It has three key areas:
Valuing and conserving nature enhances IUCN's heartland work on biodiversity conservation, emphasizing both tangible and intangible values of nature.
Effective and equitable governance of nature's use consolidates IUCN's work on people-nature relations, rights and responsibilities, and the political economy of nature.
Deploying nature-based solutions to global challenges in climate, food and development expands IUCN's work on nature's contribution to tackling problems of sustainable development, particularly in climate change, food security and social and economic development.

You are completely right, I was just amazed how Qt simplifies writing cross platform application in C++. I used Qt in my MA thesis, I wrote proof of concept application for Linux, Windows and Symbian. The same code, just recompile. Beside small bugs everything worked quite smoothly. Of course Qt brings some problems, Symbian port was beta-quality and had some issues with threads and input handling, but (form me) it would be impossible to write such application in very limited time.
I know that Qt is not a remedy form every problem, but it really helps in C++ applications, when usage of Java or HTML is not possible. Is not the only solution too. But (IMHO) in this case it's done great job. This application don't use platform dependent features, differences in file and network handling were solved by using Qt. Could be done in another way? Surely, but this way was chosen
wrong! the product is indeed called "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom". (if you really want to attack someone on such a minor naming error at least make sure you are correct).
wrong!. the product is indeed called "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom". (if you really need to attack someone on a minor naming thing like this, at least make sure you are correct!).
It wasn't long ago that I got an inkscape svg file that librsvg couldn't show properly. Browsers still differ and so on.
Well, as a quick test I tried darktable and Bibble/Aftershot scanning a directory of 200 CR2 files to generate their thumbnails in the GUI. Darktable was slow as molasses (around 3 minutes) to get them shown while Aftershot took about 15 seconds to check through the whole directory. Also I have to say as a long time Bibble Pro user that I wouldn't find darktable usable to my needs especially owning a license to noiseninja as well which Aftershot supports.
I'm curious as to what version you were using since the darktable website (http://www.darktable.org/features/) states a number of optimizations. Now, maybe you didn't have an opencl enabled stack, or your processor didn't support the simd, but I would expect it to be extremely fast.
Version: Ubuntu darktable oneiric package v0.9-1. So, looks like it's not the newest one there yet. The updated versions of darktable must not have gotten into 11.10 due to their release dates compared to oneiric version freeze. Perhaps I'll try the PPA version later and compare again.
Processor: Intel i7 950 with 12GB DDR3 RAM
Anyway, the ease of Bibble's lens correction, noiseninja integration, really well working image adjustments, speed of generating previews and processing image in batch output, with the predefinable output profiles also, keep me pretty well still using now AfterShot, I mean Bibble Pro. Corel may have renamed it to fit better into their naming portfolio but I still consider it as Bibble Pro.
It is good that there is darktable, don't get me wrong but having already paid for Bibble and gotten used to that one on Linux, I like it and I might like darktable if I hadn't already gotten used to Bibble. The GUI in darktable 0.9-1 felt badly ordered compared to Bibble to me but perhaps I'm just used to doing things in the Bibble way and couldn't get enthusiastic about doing things the darktable way.
We'll have to see what Corel does to the software in the future but if Bibble Labs employees still do the actual work and are allowed to support the way they used to, the software has great support crew and community behind it who react to problems well and instruct even in harder issues with distributions that aren't actually supported.
Besides, the upgrade price of 18 to AfterShot Pro that earlier Bibble Pro customers had to pay, was not that bad. Although, it remains to be seen how that pricing will be with Corel once the first new paid upgrade comes. Bibble used to give all minor upgrades for free and major updates had to be bought unless if you happened to buy close to next version release when you got the upgrade for free as well. Personally I would have considered Bibble Pro 5 -> Aftershot Pro as a minor upgrade but they decided to request a payment from the upgrade. Luckily the pricing was reasonable for old customers though.
Yeah, obviously if you've already paid for something, and it works for you, then changing doesn't make sense, and I think you're using a recent enough version (assuming you're driver is able to handle OpenCl) that the recent OpenCL work should've come down.
I found an interesting thread in the ubuntu forums where there was discussion about darktable as compared to lightroom/BP/RT/etc. This guy in particular (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...4&postcount=95 ) seemed to really like DT as compared to everthing else (except lightroom), but obviously if you've invested significent time into a particular workflow getting to a similar level of productivity with alternate software can take awhile, assuming such is even possible.
Still, glad to see you giving DT a look.

An amplifier increases the power of the signal being fed to it by taking energy from its power supply and matching the signal but increasing its amplitude. Amplifiers use many different methods for converting these electrical signals and have been categorized into classes.
Class A/B: Greater than 50% of the input signal is amplified while the other percentage is off. These amplifiers have a small amount of current flowing through the output transistors all the time which almost eliminates crossover distortion. Class A/B has great sound quality but is not as efficient as class D. These amps are most commonly used to drive speakers.
Class D: Also known as switching amplifiers, class D amps have output transistors that are completely turned on or off. This means that when the transistors are on, there is almost no voltage across them but when they are off there is significant voltage but no current flowing through it which makes these amplifiers very efficient at the cost of sound quality. These amps are most commonly used to drive subwoofers.
Other Classes: You may see classes such as GH, bD, X, FD, etc. by some manufactures. These amplifiers tend to be either class A/B, D or a hybrid of the two but with improvements to their designs that can make them more efficient or offer better sound quality.RMS power is the amount of continuous power, measured in watts, that an amplifier produces is called RMS power. The higher the RMS figure, the louder and cleaner your music sounds.
The RMS output figure is much more accurate than the peak rating when comparing products.
A crossover is a type of filtering system that permits only certain frequencies to play. A Low-Pass (LP) crossover allows only frequencies below its setting to get through which is good in the case of some subwoofers. A High-Pass(HP) filter allows frequencies above its setting to pass through, this is normally used on speakers.
When a crossover is set to FULL it means no filtering is added and the full frequency spectrum is allowed through the amplifier. Filtering is important because feeding a speaker frequencies it cannot reproduce effectively creates distortion.
The steepness of the roll-off slope is measured in dB/octave and refers to the rate of attenuation (lowering of volume) outside their pass bands.
This rating applies to both external car amplifiers, as well as the amplifiers inside of in-dash stereos.

Amp is a mid level amp, doesn't like low voltage so if you don't have a sturdy power supply you better buy a warranty. It does do what its rated at at least.

Las Arenas
Several structural options were researched for the roof with the preferred solution being a lamella structure in which the timber members form a pattern of lozenges creating a grid-shell of timber. This works by having simple, repetitive short lengths of timber glu-lam beams, made of fir and joined together to form the dome. The pattern changes at the crown where the structure terminates in a circular ring beam, defining a 30 metre-diameter oculus constructed from a simplified pattern of glu-lam members. The primary members of the dome are connected invisibly, so that even though they are bolted together, all of the metal is hidden within the wood so that observers beneath the dome will perceive only a continuous timber structure. The laminated beams are topped with two layers of plywood – 'Kerto' panels which aid structural stiffness – and a layer of insulation, topped with a seamless liquid application roofing system for a weather-proof finish.
The entire roof sits on a three metre high 'skirt' to overcome the possibility of unusable low space at the perimeter of the dome. The skirt is comprised of 20 boomerang-shaped columns supporting the domes perimeter beam. Inclined struts spring from these columns to directly support the ring beam where it meets the timber grid-shell, while providing stability to the entire structure. This approach not only provides a visual contrast with the steel used to construct the dish, but has the environmental advantage of being a sustainable and renewable natural resource. The choice of timber also meant that the structure could be exposed, to dramatic visual effect, as fire performance is achieved by sacrificing charring layers.
Public Realm
Large external landscaped areas surrounding the bullring provide high-quality public open space that also serves to connect the building to the metro station and the adjacent park. The roof-top piazza and the viewing platforms provide additional public space with spectacular views over the city.

Home · Centers at McCombs · EMIC · News · Austin to Boston in a Natural Gas Car: Castlen Kennedy, BBA '01
May 20, 2010
While many of her graduate student peers start to hit the books this summer for their masters theses, Castlen Kennedy, BBA '01, will be hitting the open road. But she's not skipping out on the research; she's performing it by driving a compressed natural gas (CNG) powered vehicle to explore challenges and benefits NGV divers may face, including analysis of fuel costs and supply availability.
She will use the data from the trip to benchmark CNG against other fuels and will create a set of policy recommendations to encourage the expanded use of natural gas as a transportation fuel.
A McCombs undergraduate alumna, Castlen is pursuing her Dual Masters at the University of Texas at Austin, working towards a Masters in Public Affairs at the Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs and a Masters of Arts in Energy & Earth Resources at the Jackson School of Geosciences.
In addition to being a full time student, she works part time for Apache Corporation, an independent oil and natural gas producer headquartered in Houston.
She's no stranger to the energy industry. Before returning to school in the fall of 2008, Castlen spent seven years in various positions in both the public and private sector working on energy issues. Prior to joining Apache Corporation in 2006, she worked in the Office of Fossil Energy at the United States Department of Energy as a Senior Policy Advisor on oil and natural gas issues. She has also held positions at S&B Infrastructure, RWE Trading Americas and Enron Corporation.

These backpacks were purchased for a church project to be given to kids-in-need. The backpacks looked very well made and like they would handle lots of wear and tear.
I wanted a big backpack for carryin my kids' stuff in while we were out and about. This bag seemed good & big enough to hold everything bit when it arrived it was much smaller than I thought it would be and the way it was made the pockets especially the front one are very tight and it is hard to put a lot in there. Overall not a bad bag for price just thought it would be larger.
I always worry about buying something on line and not being able to see what I am getting, but Overstock has always given me good quality and I have never been disapointed, yes I may have found a backpack in one of the local big chain retailers cheaper but the quality and size is great ... thank you O.co
Product seems of average quality and was as advertised, but ultimately is not as roomy as my son needs for school. He needs to carry his books, school work, a lunch bag, and sometimes gym clothes. A larger Jansport backpack with two full-sized compartments and a few small pockets works better for him than a backpack with one large compartment and one smaller compartment. We kept this as a back-up, however, because the price was so inexpensive.
This is somewhat lighter weigh than I anticipated, but for the money, it's great. I use it to take my "stuff" with me as a PT delivery driver since my recent retirement. Keys, a book, gum, general junk that's too clunky to carry separately. I think it would be great for a pre-schooler or someone who has kids in primary school, but not for high schoolers or anyone that wants to carry anything with much weight.
acceptable delivery time. for the price, very good quality. i took the pack on a one week Christmas holiday. On the plane as a carry on and out and about. it held up nicely. it's my go-to carry on travel pack from now on. very happy with this item. but, it's canvass so it picks up smells, i discovered. I had some garlic in the pack for about 30 minutes and so the pack smelled like garlic for a while. so, if you don't want your pack to smell like garlic, you know. I wonder if it picks up the smell of chocolate chip cookies? Hmmmmmm.....
I do a lot of school groups in my garden all season long. I wanted to have backpacks for the kids when they come. These are a terrific value. I bought 21 which was all they had in the the green and would have bought more if I could have. I will have to settle for a different color.
I purchased these for my 3 grandsons, ages 3, 5 and 8, they are the right size and color. I was very impressed with the quality of the product.
i just got my backpack its very good would buy again.
I have been using this product for over a year now, still holding up~!

Home > Community > Health Library > Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is numbness, tingling, weakness, and other problems in your hand because of pressure on the median nerve in your wrist.
The median nerve and several tendons run from your forearm to your hand through a small space in your wrist called the carpal tunnel. The median nerve controls movement and feeling in your thumb and first three fingers (not your little finger).
Pressure on the median nerve causes carpal tunnel syndrome. This pressure can come from swelling or anything that makes the carpal tunnel smaller. Many things can cause this swelling, including:
Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain in the fingers or hand. Some people may have pain in their arm between their hand and their elbow.
Symptoms most often occur in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and half of the ring finger. If you have problems with your other fingers but your little finger is fine, this may be a sign that you have carpal tunnel syndrome. A different nerve gives feeling to the little finger.
You may first notice symptoms at night. You may be able to get relief by shaking your hand.
Your doctor will ask if you have any health problems—such as arthritis, hypothyroidism, or diabetes—or if you are pregnant. He or she will ask if you recently hurt your wrist, arm, or neck. Your doctor will want to know about your daily routine and any recent activities that could have hurt your wrist.
During the exam, your doctor will check the feeling, strength, and appearance of your neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands. Your doctor may suggest tests, such as blood tests or nerve tests.
Mild symptoms usually can be treated with home care. You can:
The sooner you start treatment, the better your chances of stopping symptoms and preventing long-term damage to the nerve.
You also may need medicine for carpal tunnel syndrome or for a health problem that made you likely to get carpal tunnel syndrome.
Surgery is an option. But it's usually used only when symptoms are so bad that you can't work or do other things even after several weeks to months of other treatment.
To keep carpal tunnel syndrome from coming back, take care of your basic health. Stay at a healthy weight. Don't smoke. Exercise to stay strong and flexible. If you have a long-term health problem, such as arthritis or diabetes, follow your doctor's advice for keeping your condition under control.
You can also try to take good care of your wrists and hands:
Learning about carpal tunnel syndrome:
Being diagnosed:
Getting treatment:
Ongoing concerns:
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when a combination of health conditions and activities puts pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in your wrist. This pressure leads to symptoms. Anything that decreases the amount of space in the carpal tunnel, increases the amount of tissue in the tunnel, or increases the sensitivity of the median nerve can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.
Things that help cause carpal tunnel syndrome include:
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common work-related condition. It can be caused by work that requires:
Carpal tunnel syndrome is even more likely if you have these work-related issues along with other health conditions.
In some cases the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome cannot be found.
Mild carpal tunnel symptoms most often affect the hand and sometimes the forearm, but they can spread up to the shoulder. Symptoms include:
With moderate or severe carpal tunnel symptoms, you may have numbness or reduced strength and grip in your fingers, thumb, or hand. It may be hard to:
Symptoms most often occur in parts of the hand supplied by the median nerve: the thumb, the index finger, the middle finger, and half of the ring finger. The median nerve doesn't affect your little finger. So if your little finger is affected, you may not have carpal tunnel syndrome.
Symptoms often occur in both hands, but they are usually worse in one hand than the other. You may first notice symptoms at night. People with carpal tunnel syndrome can usually fall asleep, but pain or numbness may wake them up.
Not all pain in the wrist or hand is caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. There are many other conditions with similar symptoms, such as:
The symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome usually develop gradually. Symptoms often improve if you stop or change an activity that is helping to cause the condition.
Most mild cases of carpal tunnel syndrome get better with treatment. Usually there is no permanent damage to the median nerve. Your symptoms may improve by themselves when:
Long-term carpal tunnel syndrome can cause:
Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common causes of absence from work.
Things that put you at risk for carpal tunnel syndrome include:
Call 911 or go to an emergency room immediately if you notice sudden loss of feeling in your arm.
Call your doctor if you:
You can treat mild symptoms of wrist and hand pain or numbness at home. You may try home treatment for 1 to 2 weeks before calling your doctor.
To check your symptoms, you may first want to consult the doctor who provides care for your other health conditions, especially conditions that may be contributing to carpal tunnel syndrome. (Health conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism, or diabetes can all lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.) Or, you may choose to see:

To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is usually diagnosed using:
If your symptoms are severe, if nonsurgical treatment has not improved symptoms, or if your symptoms aren't clearly caused by carpal tunnel syndrome, your doctor may recommend:
The goal of treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome is to allow you to return to your normal function and activities and to prevent nerve damage and loss of muscle strength in your fingers and hand.
Treatment options include:
Treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome is based on the seriousness of the condition, whether there is any nerve damage, and whether other treatment has helped. If your symptoms are mild, 1 to 2 weeks of home treatment are likely to relieve your symptoms.
To help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome:
If you feel that certain work activities are causing finger, hand, or wrist numbness or pain, talk to your human resources department. Ask about different ways of doing your job, changes in your equipment, other job assignments, or the possibility of an ergonomics evaluation of your work space and procedures. For more information, see the topic Office Ergonomics.
In daily routines at home or while doing hobbies, think about changing activities in which you make repeated finger, hand, or wrist movements. Train yourself to use other positions or techniques that won't stress your hand or wrist.
Home treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome:
If you have mild symptoms, such as occasional tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain in your fingers or hand, follow these steps to reduce inflammation:
When your pain is gone, begin exercises for flexibility and strength for your arm and wrist. Learn the best positions and posture for hand and wrist movements.
Medicine may relieve swelling, inflammation, and pain in the wrist or hand related to carpal tunnel syndrome. Reducing swelling in the wrist will relieve pressure on the median nerve in the carpal tunnel and relieve your symptoms.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may relieve pain and inflammation and are available with or without a prescription. They work best if your tendon is inflamed. NSAIDS don't relieve pressure on the median nerve, but they may make you feel better.
Corticosteroids may be a treatment option when NSAIDs don't effectively relieve pain and inflammation. But these are powerful anti-inflammatory medicines. They have side effects that should be considered. Corticosteroids can be taken in pill form or injected into the wrist by a doctor.
Medicine should be used with other measures (such as ice, rest, and splints) to reduce pain and inflammation.
Most people with carpal tunnel syndrome are treated without surgery. Surgery is considered only when:
The most common surgery for relieving carpal tunnel symptoms involves cutting the transverse carpal ligament to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. Two approaches for this surgery are:
Some surgeons are now doing small- or mini-open release surgery. This requires a smaller incision than standard open carpal tunnel release surgery. It may reduce healing time and scarring. But it also allows the surgeon to view the ligament directly during the surgery to minimize danger to the nerve itself. This procedure may be promising. But there are few studies comparing it to the open carpal tunnel or endoscopic procedures at this time.
Nerve tests (nerve conduction velocity test and electromyogram) are often completed before surgery is done. Surgery is more likely to be successful if the results from nerve testing point to carpal tunnel syndrome.
Your decision about whether to use open or endoscopic surgery depends on your doctor's experience with the procedures. Endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery uses very technical equipment and is most successful when the doctor has done the procedure many times.
After surgery, it is important to avoid any activities that may have caused carpal tunnel syndrome. Or you can change the way you do them.
Other treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome include:
Some people try complementary and alternative treatments to help with the symptoms of tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain felt in the fingers or hand. There is not strong evidence that they help.1 Some of these treatments include
