Many of the communities that have seen devastation in the path of hurricane Sandy depend on tourism for their lively hoods. Think about these places when you schedule your spring or summer vacation and help them to rebuild their lives.
Throughout the next few months I will give you information on things to do and places to go.
Starting with
Cape May, New Jersey
...the oldest seashore resort in the nation.
Just about anything you are into you can do here!
If you like history...Cape May light house, located in
Cape May Point State Park
, was built in 1859
. About
100,000 visitors climb to the top of the historic lighthouse every year. It is just something you do when you visit the Jersey Shore. However, for those of you that are not going to make the climb, you can explore the visitor's center and museum shop. There is plenty of memorabilia and maritime accessories.
Cape May is known for its historic
Victorian Homes
. In fact, the town of Cape May is a national historic landmark. There is so much history behind these homes. The fire of 1878 wiped out 30 blocks of the town and out of that came some beautiful
Victorian homes.
If shopping is your thing...you will not be disappointed. There is plenty of shopping in the downtown area of this historic resort town.
Washington Street is loaded with shops. From soaps to popcorn and sports memorabilia to olive oil there is something you will want to take home with you.
Washington Street is a great place to wander around, get an ice cream cone and hop on a trolley tour with
Cape May Trolley Tours
to get a view of the town and a little history before you go out on your own. Watch for more "things to do" on a visit to Cape May, New Jersey.

Price goes after rare feat in makeup tilt vs. Red Sox
Ace faces Boston for second straight start; Doubront faces Rays
At Fenway Park on Wednesday, David Price was almost unhittable, coming one mistake away from joining a prestigious list of four pitchers who have shut out the Red Sox over nine innings since 2011.
It wasn't just what he did, it was how he did it.
Price pounded the strike zone, attacking Red Sox hitters and negating their patient approach that's allowed them to see more pitches per plate appearances than any team in the Majors. He needed just 97 pitches over nine innings, throwing 72 strikes, in a dominant performance.
"He was throwing strikes all night long," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "Up until about the sixth inning he was around 80 percent strikes, which is almost unheard of. Power stuff, stayed out over the middle of the plate, and with the exception of [Mike Napoli's] solo home run, he never gave us a chance to build any kind of an inning. Tip your hat, he pitched one heck of a game against us."
On Monday, the Rays return to Fenway Park for one game following Thursday's rainout, and Price has a chance to become the first pitcher in more than 70 years to beat the Red Sox at Fenway twice in five days.
The last two pitchers to turn the trick were Rip Collins for the St. Louis Browns in 1931 and Lefty Grove with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1929.
With the Rays' resurgence, in which they've won 21 of their last 25 games, has come the unveiling of their new-look starting rotation. Chris Archer, Matt Moore and Jeremy Hellickson have been nearly unbeatable in July. And at the front of the rotation has been Price, who has been one of the best pitchers in baseball since his return from the 15-day disabled list on July 2.
In his five starts since, Price has thrown 41 innings, struck out 27 batters and walked just one. His ERA over that span is 1.76.
"I do feel very good," he said. "But it's a mindset. You hear it all the time. Once you have that mindset one time out there, you really grasp the concept of what it means. A lot of guys say they have the right mindset, but they really don't know what that mindset is. Once you can have that feeling out there on the mound and be able to duplicate that five days later, or the next day if you're a reliever, then you kind of understand what it is. To have that mindset is a big part of pitching."
And with the standings as close as they are, with the Red Sox holding a half-game lead over the Rays in the American League East, these games have a playoff feel.
"They know the team they have in that locker room," Price said of the Red Sox. "They're a confident group and we're a confident group. They're not going to back down from any challenge and neither are we. It is like a playoff series facing the same team two times in a row. But I'm going to go out there and attack the hitters. Some of them the same way and some of them a little different.
"Whenever you're out there on the mound, it's a game within a game -- the thinking between the hitters and the pitchers. You've got to try and keep them on their toes. Make sure you're not pitching them the exact same way you did the last time. Obviously, the way I got them out, they're going to be looking at that in those situations."
The Red Sox counter with Felix Doubront, who is on one impressive run, having gone 13 straight starts without allowing more than three earned runs.
The talented lefty held Tampa Bay to three runs on six hits over 6 2/3 innings last week.
Rays: Myers on a tear
The Rays are 26-10 since Wil Myers joined the club on June 18. In the last 50 years, only six players have matched his total for hits (42), homers (five) and RBIs (22) through their first 32 games.
Ryan Braun and Albert Pujols are on that list.
Myers homered two more times in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Yankees.
Red Sox: Carp earning more playing time
Mike Carp got the nod in left field Sunday against the Orioles, playing on two straight days for the first time in more than two weeks.
But the way he's swung the bat this season, posting a .324 average, Carp could see himself in the lineup more frequently.
"He's done a heck of a job when called upon," said Farrell. "You might look down and say he should get more at-bats coming up here, the way he's been swinging the bat, and he just well might."
Worth noting
• This will be the seventh one-game series in Rays history. They're 0-6 in such games.
• Farrell remained confident on Sunday that David Ortiz would not be facing a suspension following his ejection on Saturday and subsequent beating of the dugout phone with his bat.

I think that Mackenzie Foy is an excellent choice for Renesmee. I can't wait until Breaking Dawn part 2 comes out next November. I wish that Stephenie Meyer would write another few books for this series to let the fans know how life turns out for everyone Cullens and the pack too.

One who falls into the label of the punk scene. Traditional punkers wore 501 levis or tight plad pants known as bondage trousers. They usually have their hair in some sort of spike form, be it "Plain spikes", a 'hawk or liberty spikes, although the hair can be anything, these are the most popular. Most punkers are againts "Selling out", the act of giving into main stream things, such as buying high priced clothes or being "trendy". To day, being a "Punker" dosent have the same meaning that it did 30 years ago. Most "Punkers" to day will buy high priced "Punker clothes" at trendy stores or with hold the "Fuck the goverment and society" idea.
"Most punkers today would'nt know what punk is if the Sex pistols walked up and kicked them in the ass"

Not a punk, get over it. Used for a person that a non-punk person would think of as a punk (but usually isn't). Isn't it some little boy that screws old men, too?
You're like such a punker!

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Created by Dr. Fritz Briem of Doemens Institute, brewed by Weihenstephan & Doemens (ed: Weihenstephan denies this), 1809 is a very traditional interpretation of the Berliner Style Weisse with an intense blend of lactic tartness and complex fruitiness. It is bottle-conditioned, unfiltered and unpasteurized. "1809" will age beautifully in a dark and cool location. Its complex fruitiness and tartness will most likely develop in quite astonishing ways. 1809 is fermented in traditional open fermenters and horizontal lager tanks. The applied mashing regime is a single step decoction mash with 50 % wheat malt.The total amount of hops is added to the mash so that isomerisation takes place in the decocotion part of the mash. The wort is not boiled but only heated up to boiling temperature and then transferred to the open fermenters and pitched with yeast and lactic acid bacteria (isolated from malt) at 18 °C (64°F).

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is the back up of acid or food from the stomach to the esophagus. The esophagus is the tube that connects your mouth and stomach. GER is common in infants. It may cause them to spit up. Most infants outgrow GER within 12 months.
GER that progresses to esophageal injury and other symptoms is called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The backed-up acid irritates the lining of the esophagus. It causes heartburn, a pain in the stomach and chest.
GERD can occur at any age.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
GERD is caused by acid or food from the stomach that regularly backs up into the esophagus. It is not always clear why the acid backs up. The reasons may vary from person to person. There may also be a genetic link in some GERD.
Acid is kept in the stomach by a valve at the top of the stomach. The valve opens when food comes in. It should close to keep in the food and acid. If this valve does not close properly, the acid can flow out of the stomach. In addition to GERD, the valve may not close because of:
The following factors increase the chances of developing GERD:
Symptoms of GERD include:
Your doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your child may need to see a pediatric gastroenterologist. This type of doctor focuses on diseases of the stomach and intestines.
Tests may include:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Treatment options include the following:
Medications options include:
Many of these are over-the-counter medications.
Surgery or endoscopy may be recommended for more severe cases. It may be considered if lifestyle changes and medications do not work.
The most common surgery is called fundoplication. During this procedure, a part of the stomach will be wrapped around the stomach valve. This makes the valve stronger. It should prevent stomach acid from backing up into the esophagus. This surgery is often done through small incisions in the skin.
Most causes of GERD in children are unknown. Some cases of GERD may be prevented by:

Berlin City Kia Used Inventory
Buying a used car is a big commitment just as buying a new car is, but with a used car purchase, you have to have faith in your car dealer to get a high quality pre-owned vehicle at a good price. When buying a new car, you know you're getting a car that's in perfect condition and has never been owned before, but with a used car, you have to hope the car is in as good a condition as the car dealer says it is.

Show your support today by clicking this link. Dear supporter of IndictBushNow, George W. Bush has his back to the wall. He just cancelled a speech in Switzerland due to fear of mass protests and his arrest for authorizing the torture of detainees at Guantánamo Bay. Bush is afraid of another Pinochet incident. In 1998, late Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet was arrested in London on a warrant from Spain for multiple crimes committed during his brutal, bloody reign. Human rights activists all over the world have pledged to seek arrest warrants wherever Bush travels outside the United States. Already, legal proceedings in Spain and Germany target Bush and his henchmen for their crimes. Bush cannot hide, just like Pinochet couldn't. We owe the people of Switzerland, Spain and Germany a debt of gratitude for their steadfastness and continued activity to bring Bush to justice. We can do no less. Bush and Cheney were hoping that the outrage against them would die, but it never will. We in the IndictBushNow movement are committed to ensure that Bush will be pursued wherever he goes for his war crimes, torture policies and attacks on civil rights and civil liberties. We demand justice. Taking IndictBushNow to the streets IndictBushNow is organizing around the country for IndictBushNow contingents at the upcoming March 19 anti-war protests and at many other upcoming events.

SUBJECT: Wilmington Softball Takes Down No. 17 West Virginia Wesleyan and Felician On Day 5 of Florida Trip
Seniors Jillian Stafford, Brooke Berger and Katie Warrington all had big days in leading the Wilmington University softball team to sweep of Friday, first defeating No. 17 West Virginia Wesleyan, 6-5, before taking down Felician, 6-0, in a nonconference battle at the National Training Center.
Stafford pitched and hit her way through West Virginia Wesleyan (5-2), ranked No. 17 in the latest National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division II Top 25 poll, knocking in three runs while throwing a complete game in picking up her second win of the season.
The Wildcats grabbed the lead for good with a three run fifth inning. With two outs and the bases empty, Berger started the rally with a double to left field. Stafford followed with an RBI single to left field to make it 4-3. West Virginia Wesleyan helped keep the inning alive by committing one of its five errors for the game and Skye Boris loaded the bases with a walk. Freshman Rice Fazio made it 6-3 with a two run double to right center to cap the scoring for the Wildcats.
Stafford allowed a single in each inning from the third frame on, but never gave up the big inning to keep the Wildcats in front. Leading by two runs heading into the seventh Rebekah Honce hit a two-out run scoring double, putting the tying run on second. But Stafford induced a game ending comebacker to the circle, give the Wildcats' its first victory over a ranked opponent in program history.
Game two was all about pitching, as Warrington struck out 17 of a possible 21 batters to move to 3-0 on the young season. Freshmen Brook Ash and Cambria Ziemba, and senior Shelby Thompson led the offense by collecting two hits each while Berger cleared the bases with a double in the fifth to finish the game with a team high three RBI's.
Warrington's 17 strikeouts were the second most in a game by a Wildcat, trailing her own program record of 20 strikeouts in a single contest. She only gave up three hits on the afternoon.
The 6-2 start to the season is the best record the Wildcats have produced since the 2008 team started 6-2 in its first eight games before jumping out to a 13-3 record. The Wildcats face Cedarville and Stonehill on Saturday continuing its two week Spring Break trip to Florida.

Just a short one again. This time I will explain the coefficient of variation. And once again give you a full code example of how you can implement it in c#.
The coefficient of variation (CV) is a normalized measure of dispersion. It is a measure of consistency indicating the uniformity in the values of the signal from the mean of the signal. A smaller coefficient of variation indicates a more consistent signal. The values are more uniformly dispersed.
Coefficient of variation is useful when comparing data with different units. For example in the SoapSynergy project I am working on I often have to make comparisons between displacement and angles. Since those signals have different units ((centi)meters versus degrees) it is useful to have a dimensionless number to compare with.
The downside of the coefficient of variation is that it is quite sensitive to changes in the mean. So if your signal moves around the 0 (as a sine wave does) making your mean ~=0, the coefficient of variation can quickly jump to near infinite numbers rendering it useless. For this reason I chose to calculate the coefficient of variation using the absolute values of my signals.

I love the game but the save system is whack.
The third entry in the Sci-Fi/survival horror franchise, Dead Space 3 returns boasting new gameplay elements, terrifying visuals and a deep, although often convoluted storyline. An ice covered planet called Tau Volantis has been found along with the ruins of an old colony. It's revealed that this planet is the Marker home world which spawns the undead Necromorphs. More startling is that someone apparently found a way to turn off the markers and stop the Necromorph outbreak.
You once again play as Isaac Clarke, the beleaguered engineer protagonist of the first two entries. Clarke has been living in hiding after the events of in Dead Space 2 but soon soldiers of the last battalion of EarthGov track him down to enlist his aid. He at first refuses until he finds out the woman he loves, Ellie Langford, has gone missing along with her team on Tau Volantis.
The action begins immediately as Clarke and the two soldiers are ambushed by Unitologist forces, a zealous order that has sprung up that worships the Markers. Isaac will travel to Tau Voltanis, first to find Ellie, and then to make his way across the frozen wastes of the planet, battling the Necromorphs and making an even more startling discovery about the planet and its nearby moon.
Dead Space 3's story unfolds itself often in cluttered, confusing chucks but that is pretty much on a par with the previous games in the series. Subtlety has never been the franchise's strong point. But what it might lack in comprehension it more that makes up with its visuals and ability to build tension. I've never played a game that took place in a snow covered environment that felt so real. You also feel like the strength of the wind and the show pelting you with threaten to knock you down.
The game's soundtrack and sound effects meticulously add to the terror of the environments that you can feel as your heart pounds away, unsure of what lies behind the next corner. Noises come from all sides, and you're often not sure if the threat is close or nipping at your heels.
Dead Space 3 introduces several new gameplay elements that make the game as much a shooter as a survival horror. First we get true drop in and drop out co-op play. Your partner will play as Sergeant John Carver and what's cool is that the players will experience the game in different ways. One play may see something that the other does not or find himself trapped against a horde of Necromorphs. Co-Op play also opens ups several optional co-op only side missions.
The Weapons Bench is a new weapon upgrading system that allows the player to cobble together pieces of different weapons found within the game to create all new weapons. This can make for some ultra-cool weapon combos and while the process can be time consuming it is never boring and you feel like a mad scientist throwing together parts to make something completely unique. Also added is an organic cover system which will allow the player character to grab cover when it makes sense instead of having to always need to execute a button push.
And you will need all of the best weapons you can build to takeout the Necromorph enemies, including several new insidious versions. As always blowing the limbs off the Necromorphs is a great way to dispatch them but new enemies will require new tactics to kill them in the most efficient way.
Despite a storyline which is flat and sometimes repetitive, Dead Space 3's deep weapons system, fantastic combat, and incredible graphics makes this one another winner. Figure upon 10 – 20 hours to complete the campaign, depending upon how many side missions you do and how much time you spend looking for loot. Grade B+
The saves are bullshit. In the other games you can save exactly where you are. In this one you still will appear at what is basically an auto-save or a checkpoint and often lose what configuring you did for a new weapon or upgrades. I don't get that the "Save and Exit" only saves your inventory, not your progress.

Rate increase coming: City of Portola discusses how much
Diana JorgensonAt the first of two rate study presentations to the Portola City Council to discuss increases in city water and sewer rates, Mayor Pro Tem Juliana Mark asked, "Why now? Right now, people are having a hard time of it, so why are we talking about rate increases now?"
City Manager Jim Murphy had several reasons: Right now, the water and sewer funds are not covering their actual costs and their deficits are being covered by the General Fund, which is not an acceptable practice. The Lake Davis Treatment Plant (LDTP) will be online soon, and although the construction of the plant had not been financed by the water fund, its upkeep, maintenance and replacement down the line will be part of the water budget.
While water breaks and the LDTP are primarily responsible for the necessity of significant increases (an estimated shortfall of 25 percent) in the water rates, sewer shortfalls are primarily due to the cost of increased federal and state regulation.
In addition to these extra expenses, a comprehensive rate study has never been done. Capitalization plans to replace old infrastructure in a periodic and planned fashion and cash reserves are both inadequate for each of the enterprise funds.
Last August, the city hired HDR Engineering to examine the data and design alternative utility rate structures for the council to examine. The completed study, paid for by Community Development Block Grant funds, was presented to the council and to the public at special meetings held Jan. 18 and Feb. 15.
At the first meeting, HDR's Shawn Koorn outlined a process for examining data in three steps: First, compute how much revenue is coming in as well as what will be required in the future and then note the level of adjustment required. Second, determine the cost of service by examining various customer classes (residential, commercial, etc.). Third, design rate structures that will meet revenue needs and be distributed among the customer base as fairly as possible.
In examining revenue requirements, HDR's table indicated $125,000 shortfall in the water fund at the end of 2011 at current rates. Anticipating only 3 percent growth in customer base, at current rates, that deficit would increase to $768,000 in 2016.
Koorn presented a rate increase schedule over a period of six years. Because of the need to recoup historic deficiencies as well as anticipate future operation and maintenance of the LDTP, the city planned to spread out the increases in order for ratepayers to adapt to and incorporate the increases.
Large upfront rate increases at the beginning of the six-year period put the funds in the black at the end of 2012, but the rate increase per customer would go up nearly $20 per month the first year, with following years showing smaller increases. At the end of six years, the rate increases would cumulatively be smaller, resulting in a $43.56 total increase over six years.
The council opted for a different approach, one that would yield a much smaller increase the first year and similar increases for the following years. The budgetary shortfalls would last for more years and the cumulative customer increase would be more ($54.93/month) but the first year's increase would be an average of $9.43, not $20.
In addition to deciding how long a period to stretch rate increases over, city staff and council members examined their customer classes and current rate structures and billing practices. Several changes were made.
Several years ago, the city stopped billing itself for water usage, including the summer watering of the many parks. The reasoning behind that decision was that all residents in the city benefited from the parks. Murphy said that the city's water bill was about $24,000 per year. In the future, the city will pay its water bill from the General Fund.
Other structure changes included a policy of minimum billing, whether there was water usage or not, and eliminating 5,000-gallon water allowances. In the proposed rate structure, all water is billed at $2.80 per 1,000 gallons after the first 1,000 gallons are used.
These changes will benefit small households who may not be using all of their current allotments. Households who use only 1,000 gallons per month will actually see a decrease in their bill of $5.80 and households using 2,000 gallons per month will experience bills with no change.
In sewer, HDR data showed an existing deficiency of $113,000 at current sewer rates and predicted a $323,000 shortfall by 2016. The report named an increase in testing and system maintenance costs, the necessity of replacing aging infrastructure, and an increase in sludge removal as increased costs.
Koorn said that the flat rate structure that the city currently used did not require changes, as the water system did; rather, it only requires an increase. Because the deficits in the sewer fund were not as great as in water, the council opted for a larger upfront rate increase, bringing current monthly bills of $25.24 to $32.81, with $3 to $4 increases in subsequent years.
At this second meeting, the council confirmed its earlier option choices and directed city staff to include all six years of increases in the Proposition 218 process. While the city may choose not to implement planned rate increases in following years, it cannot go over the designated amounts if the rate schedules are established through Proposition 218.
The city plans for considerable public outreach in future weeks to answer as many residents' questions as possible. To that end, it has put together a list of frequently asked questions and responses for community benefit. The meeting presentations are also available on DVD and on the city's website.

I'm not saying your criticism is unfounded but it does show that you are biased towards modern gaming hardware. Gaming hardware is usually made for windows, hence the driver trouble.
As I'm no gamer, do not care for Creative soundcards or high resolution mice I find linux driver support far better than in windows.
Also often the Linux driver is better than the windows one, they get more testing because kernel drivers support a certain chip while win drivers support a certain manufacturer's card.
Thanks for banning Quadri-whatever by the way

Phoronix: AMD Radeon OpenCL On Linux - Is It That Bad?
A story run on Phoronix yesterday was AMD admitting it has Linux problems and are looking to improve the situation. In large part it comes down to improving OpenCL on Linux with the Catalyst driver, but how does the OpenCL Linux performance stand today? Here's some benchmarks to answer that question...

It would have been nice to see numbers about the A8 APus, since the GPU is supposed to help the CPU with this kind of task on these devices.
at least we got another german beer picture...
I use NoScript and AdBlock Plus, and I do block all ads on Phoronix.
I will not whitelist ads on Phoronix. I will continue block all ads.
Phoronix without ads blocked have popups, full screen ads, flash ads, and all kinds of stupid shit that makes the site slow as hell to load, the browser lock up, etc.
If it were unobtrusive lightweight text ads like Google AdWords, maybe I wouldn't block that.
P.S. I feel sorry for all the premium subscribers who have to put up with all beer picture crap.
P.P.S. Maybe premium subscribers should have an option not to have beer crap in the articles?
I Miss the CPU result :/
After having read things, and I know people around here love to misinterpret, but the original source is more about supporting OpenCL in terms of availability and allowing developers to use it easier, and not about improving the performance of the OpenCL implementation (not that the later wouldn't be welcome from any company). Important distinction there, and something that wasn't made clear enough I think.
Another Premium subscriber here. I don't mind the beer either since I'm also a beer aficionado, even though it gets a bit thick sometimes. What really pisses me off is the lack of automatic login for the site.
I have to go to the forum every time I enter the site to get rid of the ads (I do block them though) and extra "Upgrade to premium now!" stuff, as well as being able to see an article on one page.
Automatic login is still the number one feature the site lacks.
btw, why no Radeon 4000-series?

A top al-Qaeda leader who helped plan the 1998 U.S. Embassy attacks in Kenya and Tanzania is in custody following a U.S. anti-terrorism operation in Libya.
Pentagon spokesman George Little said Saturday that Abu Anas al-Libi is in a secure location outside Libya.
The embassy attacks killed more than 220 people, and the FBI had offered a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to his capture.
"As the result of a U.S. counterterrorism operation, Abu Anas al-Libi is currently lawfully detained by the U.S. military in a secure location outside of Libya," Little said in a statement.
Al-Libi was captured during an operation outside Tripoli, according to The New York Times.
U.S. officials did not release details of the operation late Saturday.
Al-Libi, whose real name is Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, was linked to Osama bin Laden and could ultimately be brought to the U.S. to stand trial, NBC reported.
He has been on the USA's most-wanted fugitives list since 2000, when a New York court indicted him for his role in the embassy attacks, the Times reported.
The news of the capture comes as U.S. forces launched an attack against a top level al-Qaeda linked target in Somalia two weeks after the militant group launched a deadly attack on a Nairobi shopping mall, officials said.
The Pentagon confirmed that U.S. military personnel launched an attack Friday against a terrorist linked to al-Shabab, the al-Qaeda-linked group responsible for the the mall attack.
Little confirmed a counterterrorism operation against al-Shabab took place but would not release details.
A U.S. official who asked not to be named said no U.S. personnel were injured or killed in the attack. It was not clear whether the target was killed or captured in the operation.
AP reported that a U.S. Navy SEAL team in Somalia aborted a mission to capture a terrorist suspect linked to last month's Nairobi shopping mall attack after a fierce firefight.
The New YorkTimes reported that elite Navy SEALs raided a seaside villa where al-Shabab members were staying in the Somali town of Baraawe. The firefight lasted more than an hour. Somali officials told the newspaper that the government had been informed of the raid.
U.S. officials have been concerned that al-Shabab might attempt attacks in the United States and have sought to weaken the group. The group is based in Somalia and has been linked to attacks throughout Africa, including the Nairobi mall.
Terrorists "can run but they can't hide," said Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday.
Kerry, the highest-level administration official to speak about the operations yet, made his remarks at an economic summit in Bali.

The Kanuri, Hausa, and Fulani peoples subsequently migrated there. Islam was introduced in the 13th century, and the empire of Kanem controlled the area from the end of the 11th century to the 14th. The Fulani empire ruled the region from the beginning of the 19th century until the British annexed Lagos in 1851 and seized control of the rest of the region by 1886. It formally became the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria in 1914. During World War I, native troops of the West African frontier force joined with French forces to defeat the German garrison in Cameroon.

Nicasio faces Giants with rotation spot in jeopardy
Zito looking to rebound in finale vs. Rockies
The clock is ticking for Juan Nicasio. Despite a 3-1 record, the Rockies right-hander hasn't performed up to snuff through the first six weeks of the season, unable to pitch longer than six innings in any of his eight outings so far while his ERA has ballooned to 5.13.
All the struggles have Nicasio's spot in the Colorado starting rotation hanging in jeopardy as Jeff Francis gets closer to returning from his left groin strain and veteran Roy Oswalt, who signed a Minor League deal May 3, builds up his arm at Double-A Tulsa.
With his opportunities dwindling, the 26-year-old will look to turn things around Sunday when he takes the mound against the Giants as the two clubs conclude their National League West series.
"When you don't play good or when you aren't pitching good, there will be a lot of people expecting us to either get sent down or get traded or something," said Rockies catcher Yorvit Torrealba. "But he's a talented pitcher. That's the reason he's here."
In his last outing, Nicasio surrendered five runs on eight hits over six innings against the Cubs, taking the loss even though the outing marked the first time he pitched more than five frames since April 3.
"I know what's going on," Nicasio said. "I'm fighting for my job. So I have to get better, quick."
Taking the mound for the Giants will be Barry Zito, who is also coming off a start in which he gave up five earned runs. In Toronto on Tuesday, the left-hander served up 12 hits over 5 2/3 innings of work as the Blue Jays tallied six runs off him in the first inning, with three of them unearned.
"Give Z credit. ... He did a great job of putting that inning behind him and pitching well," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said after the game. "He didn't cave in; he kept going."
Giants: Machi called up, Pill send down
Returning to a 13-man pitching staff Saturday, the Giants recalled right-hander Jean Machi from Triple-A Fresno. First baseman Brett Pill was optioned to Fresno to clear a roster spot.
In a previous stint this year with the Giants, Machi, who will be used in the middle frames out of the bullpen, recorded a 1.74 ERA in nine appearances. He struck out 10 and walked three in 10 1/3 innings.
"It's fair to say we've gone to [the bullpen] a little bit earlier than we're accustomed to," Bochy said. "This will give us another arm and we'll see how it goes for a little while here with 13 pitchers. I can't tell you how long, but until we get more consistency, we'll be like this for a while."
Pill, 28, was 2-for-6 in in three games with the Giants, collecting a pair of doubles. In 32 games at Triple-A this season, Pill was hitting .341 with nine home runs and 47 RBIs.
Rockies: Cuddyer on track for DL activation
Michael Cuddyer was happy enough with his throwing and hitting in the batting cage that he believes he will be ready to return from his neck injury Friday, the day he is eligible to return from the 15-day disabled list.
Cuddyer has a disk issue that appeared in 2004, flared in 2011 and recurred during the Rockies' last homestand. He had an epidural shot Tuesday and has improved his range of motion since.
"I'm on track for Friday," Cuddyer said. "I'm sure I'll do a rehab assignment, just to see how it feels. Today was the best I felt. It's definitely gotten better every day. Two days after I got the shot, it started getting better."
Worth noting
• The Rockies are 7-9 against left-handed starting pitchers this season.
• The Giants' 10-game winning streak against the Rockies ended Friday. It was San Francisco's longest win streak over any division opponent since divisional play began in 1969.

Office for Civil Rights
Washington, D.C.20202-1328
Revised August 1998
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities which receive Federal financial assistance. Title IX states that:
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
The United States Department of Education (ED) maintains an Office for Civil Rights, with 12 enforcement offices throughout the nation and a headquarters office in Washington, D.C., to enforce Title IX.
Education Programs and Activities Covered by Title IX
Title IX covers state and local agencies that receive ED funds. These agencies include approximately 16,000 local school districts, 3,200 colleges and universities, and 5,000 for-profit schools as well as libraries and museums. Also included are vocational rehabilitation agencies and education agencies of 50 states, the District of Columbia, and territories and possessions of the United States.
Programs and activities which receive ED funds must operate in a nondiscriminatory manner. These programs and activities may include, but are not limited to: admissions, recruitment, financial aid, academic programs, student treatment and services, counseling and guidance, discipline, classroom assignment, grading, vocational education, recreation, physical education, athletics, housing and employment. Also, a recipient may not retaliate against any person because he or she opposed an unlawful educational practice or policy, or made charges, testified or participated in any complaint action under Title IX. For a recipient to retaliate in any way is considered a violation of Title IX. The ED Title IX regulations (Volume 34, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 106) provide a detailed discussion of discrimination prohibited by Title IX.
The Office for Civil Rights Enforces Title IX
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) in ED is responsible for enforcing Title IX. OCR's responsibility to ensure that institutions which receive ED funds comply with Title IX is carried out through compliance enforcement. The principal enforcement activity is the investigation and resolution of complaints filed by people alleging sex discrimination. Also, through agency-initiated reviews of selected recipients, OCR is able to identify and remedy sex discrimination which may not be addressed through complaint investigations.
Given the large number of institutions under its jurisdiction, OCR is unable to investigate and review the policies and practices of all institutions receiving ED financial assistance. Therefore, OCR provides information and guidance to schools, universities and other agencies to assist them in voluntarily complying with the law. OCR also informs students and their parents, and those who apply for admission to academic programs, of their rights under Title IX.
OCR has investigated and worked with recipients to resolve many kinds of civil rights problems, including the following:
- the provision of less than a fair share of funds for athletic scholarships to females;
- inequitable pay for female teachers holding similar teaching positions to those held by male counterparts; and
- discrimination against female students on the basis of pregnancy.
Anyone who believes there has been an act of discrimination on the basis of sex against any person or group in a program or activity which receives ED financial assistance, may file a complaint with OCR under Title IX. The person or organization filing the complaint need not be a victim of the alleged discrimination but may complain on behalf of another person or group. A complaint should be sent to the OCR enforcement office that serves the state in which the alleged discrimination occurred. A complaint must be filed within 180 days of the date of the alleged discrimination, unless the time for filing is extended for good cause by the Enforcement Office Director. If you have also filed a complaint under an institutional grievance process, see the time limit discussed at the end of this section.
Complaint letters should explain who was discriminated against; in what way; by whom or by what institution or agency; when the discrimination took place; who was harmed; who can be contacted for further information; the name, address and telephone number of the complainant(s) and the alleged offending institution or agency; and as much background information as possible about the alleged discriminatory act(s). OCR enforcement offices may be contacted for assistance in preparing complaints. OCR keeps the identity of complainants confidential except to the extent necessary to carry out the purposes of the civil rights laws, or unless disclosure is required under the Freedom of Information Act, the Privacy Act or otherwise required by law.
If an investigation indicates there has been a violation of Title IX, OCR attempts to obtain voluntary compliance and negotiate remedies. Only when it cannot obtain voluntary compliance does OCR initiate enforcement action. Enforcement usually consists of referring a case to the Department of Justice for court action, or initiating proceedings, before an administrative law judge, to terminate Federal funding to the recipient's program or activity in which the prohibited discrimination occurred. Terminations are made only after the recipient has had an opportunity for a hearing before an administrative law judge, and after all other appeals have been exhausted.
Prior to filing a complaint with OCR against an institution, a potential complainant may want to find out about the institution's grievance process and use that process to have the complaint resolved. A complainant is not required by law to use the institutional grievance procedure before filing a complaint with OCR. If a complainant uses an institutional grievance process and also chooses to file the complaint with OCR, the complaint must be filed with OCR within 60 days after the last act of the institutional grievance process.
