Ella Mae Morse (September 12, 1924 – October 16, 1999[1]) was an American popular singer.
Morse was born in Mansfield, Texas, United States. She was hired by Jimmy Dorsey when she was 14 years old.[1] In 1942, at the age of 17, she joined Freddie Slack's band, with whom in the same year she recorded "Cow Cow Boogie", the first gold record by Capitol Records.[1][2] "Mr. Five by Five" was also recorded by Morse with Slack,[3] and they had a hit recording with the song in 1942 (Capitol 115). She also originated the wartime hit "Milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet", which was later popularized by Nancy Walker in the film, Broadway Rhythm.
In 1943, Morse began to record solo. She reached #1 in the R&B chart with "Shoo-Shoo Baby"[4] in December for two weeks. In the same year she performed "Cow Cow Boogie" in the film Reveille with Beverly and starred in Universal's South of Dixie and The Ghost Catchers with Olsen and Johnson and How Do You Dooo? with radio's Mad Russian, Bert Gordon. She sang in a wide variety of styles, and she had hits on both the U.S. pop and rhythm and blues charts. However, she never received the popularity of a major star because her versatility prevented her from being placed into any one category of music.[1]
The song "Love Me or Leave Me" as recorded by Morse was released by Capitol Records as catalog number 1922,[5] with the flip side "Blacksmith Blues", which became her biggest hit.
In 1946, "House of Blue Lights" by Freddie Slack and Morse, (written by Slack and Don Raye) saw them perform what was one of many of Raye's songs picked up by black R&B artists.[6][7] Her biggest solo success was "Blacksmith Blues" in 1952, which sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.[8] The same year her version of "Down the Road a Piece" appeared on Capitol with Slack again on piano accompaniment. Morse also recorded a version of "Oakie Boogie" for Capitol which reached #23 in 1952.[9] Her version was one of the first songs arranged by Nelson Riddle.[10]
Morse ceased recording in 1957, but continued performing until the early 1990s at such clubs as Michael's Pub in New York,[11] Ye Little Club in Beverly Hills, the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel's Cinegrill and the Vine St. Bar and Grill. She appeared regularly at Disneyland for several years with the Ray McKinley Orchestra, and did a successful tour of Australia shortly before her final illness.
Her music career was profiled in Nick Tosches' 1984 book, The Unsung Heroes of Rock 'N' Roll: The Birth of Rock in the Wild Years Before Elvis. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1724 Vine Street. Her entire recorded body of work was issued in a deluxe box set by Bear Family Records.
Musical style[edit]
As Morse's musical style blended jazz, blues, and country, she has sometimes been called the first rock 'n' roll singer. A good example is her 1942 recording of the song "Get On Board, Little Chillun", which, with strong gospel, blues, boogie, and jive sounds as a genuine precursor to the later rockabilly/ rock 'n roll songs.[12] Her records sold well to both Caucasian and African-American audiences. As she was not well known at the time of her first solo hits, many people assumed she was African-American because of her 'hip' vocal style and choice of material.[13]
Personal life and death[edit]
Morse had six children from two marriages, as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and an estranged sister named Flo Handy, who was also a singer.
In 1999 Morse died of respiratory failure in Bullhead City, Arizona, aged 75.[1]

It is sometimes erroneously reported that Morse recorded with Bill Haley & His Comets in the 1950s. This is not true, although she did record versions of songs also recorded by Haley such as "Razzle-Dazzle" and "Forty Cups of Coffee".[citation needed]

Mystery foam on Lake Murray
Gloria Ciprian 1:30 p.m., May 2
Margarita Rocks
212 North Tremont Street, Oceanside
This is a 14,000-square-foot extravaganza, with a basement "dive" bar and dance floor, and a large, third-floor, ocean-view deck. Airbrushed murals of waves and sharks riff on '60s surfboard art and catch the unpretentious vibe of the fledgling downtown Oceanside scene. By Gaslamp standards the place "goes off" early, around 10 p.m., which is a good thing if you don't want to stay up until the 4 a.m. closing time. Dancers in their late 20s are the norm, but folks over 40 have been observed. The DJs mix music ranging from Nine Inch Nails to Nelly, and the sound system rocks. Only complaint: everybody crowds onto the dance floor.

Trajok's species

Trajok's species were a race of humanoids, likely from the Alpha or Beta Quadrant. Their faces had three sets of thorned ridges, two on each side of their foreheads and one in the middle.
Contact between the Federation and this species occurred prior to 2370. (DS9: "Playing God")
Given Trajok's appearance, it is possible that he was actually a full-blooded Ktarian, as evidenced by the subtler features seen on the half-Ktarian Naomi Wildman of USS Voyager.

Reader, Dave alerted me to this hilarious, creative, and very well done music video- a parody by the Mike Church Show Band of the Simon & Garfunkel classic, "Mrs. Robinson."
*A couple disclaimers:
This isn't an unqualified endorsement of Mike Church or his song parodies. While browsing around, I also stumbled upon a Mike Church parody entitled "Manuel Went Down To Georgia" which, as you can imagine, was racially charged and espoused a protectionist view of American immigration policy that is just plain inconsistent with Mike's pro-free market capitalism rhetoric. I still thought that "Mr. Jefferson" was an excellent find and merited sharing with you.
Also, this isn't an unqualified endorsement of President Thomas Jefferson. Although he was a powerful rhetorical champion of freedom, in terms of suiting action and policy to words he fell quite short of the mark in my estimation. He owned slaves, made the unconstitutional Louisiana Purchase, forcibly relocated Native Americans, and levied an embargo on foreign trade with Europe, violating Americans' economic freedom and causing a severe economic downturn. My feelings on Jefferson are very mixed, but once again, I loved the spirit of this song, I thought it was very well done, and I cherish Simon and Garfunkel.
Here's one more from the great ones themselves:

You may be wise to call ahead. The GSP Harbor Dept Pump-out boat can be reached at: 401-466-3204. Personally, I've never gone this early in the season - so can't help you with the schedule.
We've also always anchored or rented moorings in GSP on our boats with holding tanks. The pump-out boat, if running in early May, is a free service and should be able to empty your porta-potti by using a lower pump pressure.
Just east of Paynes is a good anchorage since it's a closer trip to shore - but watch the depth there. Personally, given the availability of plenty of moorings then and if only spending a couple nights, I would op to pick one up.

Kanchanaburi - Accommodation & Advice
I have looked at the accommodation reviews and some give conflicting views - I'm still no nearer to making a decision and would appreciate advice from other, more experienced travellers.
The places I looked at are Pong Phen GH, Ploy GH, Sugar Cane 1 and the Jolly Frog. Sugar Cane looks like it's out and the Jolly Frog sounds like a good place to eat but not to stay, which leaves me with Pong Phen and Ploy.
Has anyone here stayed at either recently and what is your opinion please? I will be arriving by bus probably after 4.00pm. (Land in BKK airport, bus to city then bus to Kanchanaburi) so would prefer a place that's not too far from seeing the city sights (museum, etc).
Also wishing to see Hellfire Pass and Erawan Falls. And of course, ride on the train and get off at the Bridge. I would also like to ride the train as far as Nam Tok. Is it possible to do this - that is get off at both places, or would I not have time? Would you advise doing these things by myself or taking a tour? The tours I've seen all seem to depart from Bangkok, I can't seem to find any departing from Kanchanaburi. Where can I find a detailed map of Kanchanaburi, I've looked online but they're fairly basic.
Thank you in advance.#1 Posted: 24/11/2010 - 18:51

We've been at Ploy's last Feb and we really liked it. It's between a busy road and the river, but it's very tranquil. Rooms are around a little garden, clean, good beds, good bathroom. There's a very nice breakfastarea and kind of a rooftop lounge area where you can overlook the river.
We came by train from Bangkok and drove past Kanchanaburi to Nam Tok (very nice raft hotel there: Boutique Raft Hotel). From there we visited Hell's fire Pass and Erawan. From Erawan we went on the ordinary bus to Kanchanaburi, so the other way around would also be possible. I'm not sure, I thought it's an hour and a half drive. But in Kanchanaburi you can book a tour everywhere. We like to do things at our own pace, not having to hurry or wait, and we like taking the public transport.
The only map I found was at the TAT office, near the busstation. Not very detailed, but according to the TAT-man it was the most detailed there was.#2 Posted: 25/11/2010 - 03:36

Probably about right for the Jolly Frog, but it depends on what sort of room you'd like - their rooms are set round a garden overlooking the river - very pleasant, pretty basic.
The food at the JF both Thai and Western is great - and absurdly cheap - for the western food -
next door is the Tamarind which has rooms around 300 to 500 baht, depending on air or fan, some have TV - and you can walk next door and eat at the Jolly Frog.
I would stay at the Frog out of preference but you have to bear in mind that it is usually full.
I also can't find their web site - the "jolly Frog" site at Kanchanaburi seems to be a travel site and doesn't deal with booking rooms etc.
Read up on the bridge and the background - the Bridge itself is pretty much a joke.#3 Posted: 25/11/2010 - 09:06

We stayed at Jolly Frog several times; it's cheap 200 Baht but very basic but wins us over because of it's setting (All rooms are located around a very nice garden). Also stayed at Sugar Cane which has better rooms, but smaller verandas. As already stated, the new Tamarin next door to JF is much better but more pricey.
There's no shortage of places (unless you are arriving Xmas or Songkran) and you can always check places out when you get there.
There are no shortage of organised trips and everything can be done from Kanchanburi. If you are on your own then Hell fire pass is best done with a tour. We did it on a rented motorbike but it's a good 2 hours each way - well worth the trip though. The waterfalls can be done by local bus, but organised trips seem very cheap (not that I have done any!!).
BTW, if you are going direct to Kanchanburi then you need the bus to the Southern Bus terminal, from there mini bus (bit quicker) or government buses run there for 100 baht.
Also, the old town & market is worth a day exploring. Try renting a push bike and you can do the to the old town, cycle over the bridge to see one of the war cemeteries (another is very close to JF & the like) and if you continue along the far river bank you can walk across THE bridge with the bike! It's a great day trip!#4 Posted: 28/11/2010 - 04:14

Well I have successfully upgraded to version 1.9 of dasBlog. I didn't have any problems. For anyone that is interested, the process of upgrading from 1.8 to 1.9 is very straightforward. According to the Scott Hanselman's upgrade note, you should be able to merge any of your own changes into the web.config, backup any custom themes, and overwrite most of the other files.
The process I followed was as follows:1. merged my changes into the web.config2. merged my changes and settings into the appropriate files in the SiteConfig subdirectory.3. I left my content directory and my logs directory alone but copied over everything else as though it were a new install.4. Once I had everything copied, I browsed to the site, logged in, and changed the administrator password (since in 1.9 it is encrypted and thus it is probably not advisable to change it directly in the config file).
There you have it. Pretty simple. I had no problems and am looking forward to utilizing some of the new features. Oh and BTW, I am posting this entry from Live Writer so there are no issues with Live Writer and 1.9!
Happy Upgrading!

Vojislav Šešelj Mirko Jović Dragoslav Bokan |
The White Eagles (Serbian: Бели орлови, Beli orlovi), also known as the Avengers (Осветници, Osvetnici),[1] were a Serbian paramilitary group associated with the Serbian National Renewal (SNO) and the Serbian Radical Party (SRS).[2][3] The White Eagles fought in Croatia and the Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Yugoslav Wars.[2][3]
In the 2003 ICTY Vojislav Šešelj indictment, the group is included as an alleged party to the joint criminal enterprise to which Vojislav Šešelj is allegedly a party. In the indictment the group is identified as a "volunteer units including 'Chetnik', or 'Šešeljevci' (translated into English as 'Šešelj's men')".[4] This association has been denied by SRS leader Vojislav Šešelj.[5]
Although the group's members were occasionally referred to as Chetniks,[6] they are not to be confused with the Serbian anticommunist guerrilla group during and after World War II also known as the White Eagles and also referred to as Chetniks. The name White Eagles comes from an anti-communist organisation that was formed during World War II and continued a guerrilla war against Tito's government after the war.[citation needed] White Eagle refers to the national symbol of Serbia, the double headed white eagle under a crown.
The White Eagles paramilitary group was formed in either late 1990 or early 1991 by Dragoslav Bokan and Mirko Jović. The group split into different fractions as Bokan and Jović went their separate ways in 1991.[7][8][9] Jović called for "a Christian, Orthodox Serbia with no Muslims and no unbelievers".[10][11] Šešelj states that the group was started by Jović but they got out of his control.[12] According to Šešelj the White Eagles and Arkan's Tigers operated with help from the Yugoslav counterintelligence service.[13]
War crimes[edit]
Paramilitary units are responsible for some of the most brutal aspects of "ethnic cleansing". Two of the units that have played a major role in the "ethnic cleansing" campaign in BiH, the "Cetniks" associated with Vojislav Šešelj and the "Tigers" associated with Zeljko Raznjatovic (Arkan), have been active in the Republic of Serbia as well. Seselj's followers have reportedly waged "ethnic cleansing" campaigns against ethnic minorities in Serbia's provinces of Vojvodina and Kosovo.[14]
— Report of the United Nations Commission on ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Testimony at the International War Crimes Tribunal indicates that the White Eagles were responsible for a number of atrocities[3] during the Croatian and Bosnian wars, including: the Voćin massacre,[15][16] Višegrad massacre,[17] crimes at Foča,[18] Gacko[19] and others. Various members of the White Eagles were indicted by the Tribunal.[20][21] Mitar Vasiljević received a fifteen-year sentence.[22]
It has been also reported that White Eagles managed detention camp in Liješće, near Bosanski Brod.[23]
In December, 2010 a group called "Beli Orlovi" (White Eagles) took responsibility for the killing of Kosovo's Bosniak leader Šefko Salković in the north of Kosovo. The group also took responsibility for obstructions of the election process in northern Kosovska Mitrovica, as well as for attacking KFOR troops.[24][25]

In Reply to: Eggs? posted by Sandra on January 26, 2010 at 4:34 pm:
Hello, Sandra. No, eggs from hens (or any other birds) are not vegan under any circumstances. Please read my column in the link below. Personally, I find just the thought of eating a bird's or other animal's waste products (which is exactly what eggs are) rather disgusting. I would no more want to eat unfertilized hen's eggs than I would a human woman's unfertilized eggs (which are also released when a woman of child-bearing age does not conceive, and they are equally "waste products"). Eggs are unnecessary for cooking, baking, or good health. If you want to know what to do with the eggs your hens produce, contact Farm Sanctuary for an ethical solution.

In JSF, you send and display dynamic data by binding UI components or component tag attribute values to data in the model layer. This data can be held in any JavaBean within the application. However by registering the bean as a managed bean, at runtime the JSF application automatically instantiates the bean on demand, when the bean is accessed through an expression language (EL) expression from a page for the first time. Property values on the bean can then be displayed, and can also be updated when data from the page is submitted.
In previous cue cards, you have already created the JavaBean and registered it as a managed bean. The JavaBean has two properties:
. Bean properties can be bound to component values or component instances. In the example, you will bind the bean properties to component values using the Expression Builder. To open the Expression Builder, you will click the
dropdown menu at the end of the
Value field in the Property Inspector, and then choose
Expression Builder.
You will use the Expression Builder to create the EL expressions for binding the Input Text components'
attributes to the bean properties.
Some component tag attributes can be bound to methods in JavaBeans. In the example, you will use the Bind Action Property dialog to bind the Command Button component's
attribute to a new method which you will create in the JavaBean.

Used in: | GOPTIONS statement; GDEVICE procedure; GDEVICE Gepilog window |
See also: | PREGEPILOG, POSTGEPILOG |
Syntax | |
Details |
Syntax |
GEPILOG='string' <...'string-n'> |
'hex-string'X | |
'character-string' |
In a GOPTIONS statement or in the GDEVICE procedure ADD or MODIFY statement, you can specify multiple strings with the GEPILOG= option. In this case, you can mix the formats, specifying some as ASCII hexadecimal strings and some as character strings. Multiple strings are concatenated automatically.
In the Gepilog window, enter the hexadecimal string without either quotation marks or a trailing x. Note, however, that the string must be entered as a hexadecimal string.
PROC GOPTIONS always reports the value as a hexadecimal string.
Details |
GEPILOG can be used in conjunction with the GPROLOG= graphics option or device parameter.
If you must specify the long and complicated initialization strings required by some devices (for example, PostScript printers), it is easier to use the GOPTIONS GEPILOG= option rather than the Gepilog window because it is easier to code the string as text with GEPILOG= than it is to convert the string to its ASCII representation, which is required to enter the string in the Gepilog window.
Note: On non-ASCII
hosts, only ASCII hexadecimal strings produce consistent results in all instances
because of the way the character strings are translated. In addition, the
only way to specify a value for GEPILOG that can be used by all hosts is to
use an ASCII hexadecimal string; therefore, using an ASCII hexadecimal string
to specify a value for GEPILOG is the recommended method.

Luck is a 2009 Indian action-thriller film directed and written by Soham Shah, and produced by Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd. The screenplay was adapted from a 2001 Spanish thriller film, Intacto. The leading roles were played by Mithun Chakraborty, debutant Shruti Haasan, Imran Khan and Sanjay Dutt; the other significant parts, and fellow members of the gang were played by Danny Denzongpa, Ravi Kishan and Chitrashi Rawat, prominent actors from the Indian film industry. The camera of the film was handled by Santosh Thundiyil, whilst composer duo Salim-Sulaiman recorded the musical score.
The film released to Indian audiences on 24 July 2009 & was critically panned.
Luck is the story of kingpin Karim Musa (Sanjay Dutt), who is a very lucky person seeing the story of his life. He remained the sole survivor when a mosque collapsed in Maharashtra when he was just a child of nine months and was amongst very few survivors of another incident at the age of 12. When he was 14, he challenged three friends to jump from a four-storied building and remained alive, though with some injuries, and won. He started gambling at 19 and since then tried out his luck in different places of the world and became known as Musa Bhai. To him gambling and drug smuggling have become old ways to get money, his latest interest is investment on people's luck.
A very lucky young man, Ram Mehra (Imran Khan), is abducted by Lakhan Tamang (Danny Denzongpa), but instead of taking, he gives Ram 100,000 rupees and explains that Ram is very lucky as Tamang bought lottery tickets for two years without any success until he took tickets from Ram both of which won him 200,000 rupees. He then offers Ram 200 million rupees for which Ram has to gamble with him for 20 days. After Ram agrees, Musa Bhai and Tamang create a game, getting lots of lucky people to play, and the luckiest ones win them money.
Later, along with Ram, Tamang hires another lucky man, Major Jawan Pratap Singh (Mithun Chakrabarty), who is a soldier and a lucky one as he fought in many battles and faced numerous bullets none that could kill him. He is in need of money for the operation of his wife, Sheela (Rupa Ganguly). Tamang visits Pakistan where he sees Shortcut (Chitrashi Rawat), a 16-year old girl, who is also known to be lucky as any camel she rides wins the race and observes her winning one despite her camel's half-broken leg. Tamang pays four lakh rupees to "export" her to South Africa. Tamang then invites the sole-criminal, Raghav (Ravi Kishan) to the game. Raghav was put in Tihar Jail for raping many women, and also killing them, but when he was hanged, he survived, and since the Indian law doesn't allow one person to be hanged twice, he frees from Tihar Jail.
All competitors arrive in Cape Town. There, Ram meets another lucky girl (Shruti Haasan). Her name is revealed to be Ayesha and Tamang says she took part in the game once before. In their first game, all competitors shoot the person to their right at the same time. All the real unlucky ones die, though the real lucky ones survive. Later that night, while everyone is eating at a dining table, Raghav goes to Ayesha's room, and starts flirting with her, though Ayesha pays no attention and leaves. The second game is where all of the lucky ones take parachutes and jump off from a helicopter. Among the unlucky is Ayesha whose parachute doesn't open but she is saved by Ram, who developed a liking towards her, and afterwards, they start getting closer. In the third game, everyone is left in a hollow tank with one of everyone's hand locked with handcuffs and in front of them are 300 keys and one each will open the handcuffs and added to their trouble are the sharks that swim around them as they start opening the handcuffs as the tank sinks. Only one dies, though the most jolly girl, whom everyone loved, Shortcut is attacked by a shark. The shark bites her leg, but since Ram can't bear to see it, he jumps into the water, and saves the harmed Shortcut (who is then taken to the hospital). Later on, it is revealed that due to her leg, Shortcut will not be taking part in any of the games any more.
Before the fourth and final game, Raghav tries to kill Ayesha, who then runs away to Musa and Tamang, where it is revealed that Ayesha is really dead and it is Natasha (her twin-sister) playing, taking Ayesha's character whilst seeking revenge on Musa, for murdering her sister, though Musa finds out about this, and uses her for the game. In the final game, Ram, on whom the bid is the highest ever, has to save Natasha before the train she's tied to hits an oil tanker while Major Singh will help him and Raghav will shoot at Ram and the other survivors try to stop Ram. On the train, Ram starts to fight Raghav, but once Raghav is knocked out on the floor, Ram goes to save Natasha, but Raghav gets up, then interrupted by Major Singh, who to save Natasha and Ram, jumps onto Raghav. However, Raghav pushes Major Singh down to the back of the train, which later explodes. Raghav then goes to Ram, who is currently untying Natasha's hands, though Raghav attacks Ram from the back, but when the oil tank reaches right in front of the train, Ram and Natasha jump off, and Raghav dies. When Ram and Natasha realise what has happened, before they lose hope, Major Singh is seen on the floor getting up, who explains that he jumped off the train a second before his side of the train exploded. The three survivors are then approached by Musa and Tamang, who claim that they won 200 million rupees each due to Ram.
In the climax, Ram stakes his reward and challenges Musa to a game where two pistols are dug in coal the train's carrying and one has to find one and shoot the other. Musa finds both but hands one to Ram and both shoot at the same time and hit each other, Ram is shot at the place of his heart and Musa survives as he is hit at his shoulder. Though, it is shown that Ram's heart is at his right side (dextrocardia), very rare for a human, rather than left and eventually wins back his reward. Then, Shortcut's leg is fixed by a prosthesis, Major Singh saves his wife and maintains his title "Lucky Major Jawar Pratap Singh" and Ram and Natasha become life partners.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lockdown

- Developer: Red Storm Entertainment, Ubisoft Montreal
- Genre(s): Tactical Shooters
- # of players: 1-2
- Cheats: On GameFAQs
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 4 out of 8
Mixed: 4 out of 8
Negative: 0 out of 8
And to top it all off, Lockdown features Lifetime channel–style scenes that do their damnedest to to make you think of your squad mates as real pals instead of the "meat shields" they really are.
With a lengthy yet entertaining campaign mode, Rainbow Six: Lockdown manages to pull off the best Rainbow Six game on the GameCube.
While still a worthwhile shooter, Lockdown's overall feel may leave longtime fans wondering if the developers have finally strayed too far from their roots.
Doesn't live up to the goals the team originally set for itself, but despite not being a great or impressive game, this new version still isn't all that bad. It's just not all that good; nor is it nearly as good as the previous iterations in the series.
It will attract new fans to the franchise with it's fast, arcade action. It will deter old fans with it's fast, arcade action.
Lockdown has a steep learning curve and an unfair difficulty level for all players not intimately familiar with the Rainbow Six setup.
As an action game, it's intense and fun; as a tactical game...well, it's not one. [Nov 2005, p.114]

Social Question
What's the difference between a regular and daily yoga practice?
Asked by cinnAmini (29
September 24th, 2012
My yoga teacher often encourages us to keep up our practice daily, and says that we can realize more health benefits this way. It's a great goal and all, but I have so much going on that it's hard to stick with it on a daily basis. Does practicing every day really make that much of a difference? Can't I get the same results from 4x/week?

Jagger: Keith's New Book Is 'a Bit Bitchy'Posted at 7:24AM Friday 05 Nov 2010 Keith Richards' war of words with Mick Jagger continued yesterday, when he admitted that his Rolling Stones bandmate had described his autobiography as "a bit bitchy".It seemed a mild term for a brutally candid memoir that mocks the size of the legendary frontman's "todger" – a fact that was later disputed – describes him as "unbearable" and says he is worthy of the nickname "Your Majesty" for his diva-like behaviour.

I've been a little surprised that Tim Brewster hasn't been hired somewhere yet, particularly since NFL jobs are being filled now. Perhaps he's been holding out for a head-coaching job, since he reportedly came relatively close to being hired at Texas State last month.
But Brewster, whose resume as an assistant coach before he came to Minnesota is impressive no matter what happened here, may be close to finding work for next season. According to Tom Dienhart, who closely follows coaching moves for rivals.com, Brewster is a candidate for a vacancy on Nick Saban's staff at Alabama.
The job is as wide receivers coach, a reasonable fit since Brewster has plenty of experience teaching tight ends. The job was rumored to be going to former Mississippi State coach Sylvester Croom, but he decided last week to remain with the St. Louis Rams. Now, according to Dienhart, Brewster is a candidate along with four others -- one of whom is Mike Groh, Louisville's quarterbacks coach and a former Alabama graduate assistant. The Tuscaloosa News calls Groh the "leading candidate."
Also a candiate, according to Dienhart: former Clemson offensive coordinator Billy Napier, Crimson Tide quality-control coach Derrick Crudup, and former Alabama receiver Lance Taylor.

dc.description.abstract | This paper augments the new historical literature on factor price convergence. The focus is on the late nineteenth century, when economic convergence among the current OECD countries was dramatic; and the focus is on the convergence between Old World and New, by far the biggest participants in the global convergence during the period; and the focus is on land and labor, the two most important factors of production in the nineteenth century. Wage-rental ratios boomed in the Old World and collapsed in the New, moving the resource-rich and labor scarce New World closer to the resource-scarce and labor-abundant Old World. The paper uses both computable general equilibrium models and econometrics to identify the forces causing the convergence. These include: commodity price convergence and the Heckscher-Ohlin Theorem of factor price equalization; migration, capital-deepening and frontier disappearance, factors stressed by Malthus, Ricardo, Wicksell and Viner; and factor-saving biases associated with induced-innovational theory, an endogenous response to relative factor scarcities. | en |

20 May 2011 / GIRLS' SCHOOLS PRODUCE TOP SPORTS' PERFORMERS
Almost 88 per cent of Girls' Schools Association schools educate girls who compete at national level in their chosen sport and many of these have their sights on the 2016 Olympics.
Neither do the endless training schedules and intense sporting competition seem to come at a price. On the contrary, GSA schools produce top A Level results and by far the highest university transition rate of the entire independent schools sector - 95 per cent of GSA leavers go on to higher education and 92.5 per cent to university&.
"It's a bit of a cliché for independent girls' schools to say they produce all-rounders but that's because it's generally true," says GSA president Dr Helen Wright, who is also head of St Mary's Calne school in Wiltshire. "The days when pupils were expected to follow one path narrowly have gone. We find that the more opportunities girls have to participate in a full programme at school, the more likely they are to excel in many different areas and find an area where they particularly shine as these top young sportswomen have. I'm tremendously proud that so many pupils from the UK's girls' schools are set to become Olympians."
So what makes the difference? How do ambitious young sportswomen, who need to maintain a balanced life, achieve academic success as well?
The difference, as suggested by Lesley Watson, principal at Moira House Girls' School and chair of the GSA sports committee, is in the excellent support mechanisms provided by the staff in independent girls' schools. She says:
"When you look at the schools which have girls competing at International level, there may be a disparity in terms of the facilities and resources that they possess, but the common denominator in all is the support and encouragement they give. Girls are given the opportunity to develop in their individual sports and academic support is given to enable them to achieve at the highest level. That's what makes the difference."
As part of this support mechanism, the Girls' Schools Association organises an annual Girls Go Gold conference to inspire young elite sportswomen. Each year approximately 15 girls per school attend. Dame Kelly Holmes will be the key note speaker at this year's event at Edgbaston High School for Girls in September.
Barcelona Olympics veteran (1992 heavyweight women's eight) Caroline Pascoe is now head of Truro High School for Girls where young sportswomen are given an in-school academic mentor, a scheme supported by the Youth Sports Trust. She says:
"If you have the determination to pursue a sport to Olympic standard you tend to have good time management skills. Olympians are excellent at managing their time and also tend to make self-assured leaders."
So much for the high fliers. But not all girls aspire to be Olympic athletes. As Jo MacKenzie, head of Bedford Girls' School, acknowledges, some girls don't aspire to sport at all. Miss MacKenzie says: "Because research shows that girls tend to drop out of sport between the ages of 16-24 we've decided to extend our PE provision beyond Year 11 and make it an integral part of the curriculum for all sixth form students. By continuing to put sport on the agenda we hope to encourage the girls to maintain physical activity during the week, making sport a natural and enjoyable part of their everyday lives in preparation for when they move on to university or working life."
Kerry Mullen, head of physical education and sports studies at Leweston School in Sherborne Dorset says:
"The positive effect of sports achievement appears in a myriad of unexpected places - self-esteem, individual belief, an ability to cope under pressure, commitment, work-life balance, academic performance, social life and general health. Sport at top level is so sophisticated that the 'trickle down' effect to both the high end achiever and her peers is exciting."

Manchester City striker Rolando Bianchi insists Serie A remains the best competition in the world.
He told Corriere dello Sport: "It is wonderful to score on my debut, but that is not enough. I don't want to be a flash in the pan in England, I am eager to leave my mark.
"Clearly I miss Serie A, which remains the best League in the world, but the Premiership is a great stage for me to show my worth."
By Bianchi's own admission, he only accepted the £8.8m move to Manchester City because "I was disappointed by the kind of offers I received from Italian clubs."

HI, my maps app updated itself last night and now it crashes a few seconds after opening it or the navigation app. I cleared the maps data, that didn't help, and I uninstalled and re-installed the update, and that didn't help. I have a Rezound with ICS, not rooted. Any help would be met with much appreciation!
Crashing for everyone on ICS with Rezound. Temporary fix is to remove updates, otherwise we just have to wait for Google to fix it.
Anybody know what the prior version for Maps was? When we upgraded to ICS we got a newer version or just that the ICS version was different. I am asking so I can try to find the .apk online and remove all updated and install the prior version onto the phone. thanks.
Just use the 6.3.0 included in the ROM, it works fine, anything prior to 6.10.0 should work OK though.
Thanks. I did uninstall back to 6.3.0 but the navigation is not what I had on my Rezound after ICS. When I got ICS the Navigation was totally different. It had a "Go Home" feature that you could program your home address and the voice was a much better, less robotic voice. I guess I can deal with this until Google corrects it. With their track record I am guessing it should be quick.
Whew, I'm road tripping today and I go to make sure i have the address in maps and my phone starts rebooting. Anyone have the 6.9 apk handy? Nevermind, 6.3 is good enough for me. WTF did they do my phone was whacked out until I yanked the battery
Damn, I just sent my wife out on a 6 hour trip and set her phone up for the trip by pairing it to the car (BT). As soon as she launched Nav, the phone kept rebooting. She had to get her friends standalone nav unit so they could navigate. I thought maybe it was too hard on the phone to be streaming Pandora while navigating, but it would crash (do a soft reboot back to the boot animation, not the HTC logo) as soon as I opened maps and started navigating. Then it would mess up the BT radio as it wouldn't toggle on/off and froze at "turning on", so I had to do a hard restart to get BT to work again. It's awesome that as soon as she leaves, I come here to see if someone has posted this issue and it's the top thread! lol. I called and told her I think I can fix it for her next time she stops and I can talk her through it. So I just have to tell her to go to settings > apps > Maps > uninstall updates (just going off my memory for the settings), then she'll be good, right? She's totally stock/unrooted with the ICS update. Thanks!
That is what I did too. I uninstalled the update and now it works fine.. except I keep getting reminded I have an update pending.... lol
Here's another link for the old version of Maps: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mpnuwq1sxxurdce/com.google.android.apps.maps.apk And the link came from the neomax thread on xda, so I know it works.
Anyone else having reboot issues with the new update for maps,every time i open maps or navigation my phone restarts itself.
It crashes mine too. I just removed all updates and it works with the initial factory settings. I quess we have to wait till the next update and see if that fixes it. This is getting normal now for updates. Pretty soon there will be enough updates so that the phones will not work at all. Maybe this is a terrorist plot from apple to make us switch to iphone.
I'd been too busy to check on this till now and was thinking I'd have to hard reset, since I skipped that step after the ICS update. Glad to know there's an easier fix. (and before anyone says so, yes, I know I should hard reset anyway. Just haven't had time)
I had the same issue (phone rebooting) and a buddy told me to clear the cache in the apps settings and it worked! Hopefully it's that easy for all of you.
Tried clearing the cache after updating back to the newest version & started crashing phone again. So uninstalled updates again & works fine.
WTF, this is the 2nd time I can remember a core app being updated that crashes the phone. Anybody have a link to the last version of maps? This also happens during navigation.

So I've recently been opened up to many opportunities at my current job. These opportunities have much better pay with a degree than without and I will be moving to Pittsburgh, PA. I will have these opportunities until I decide to move as it is with a large company with positions coming open all over.
Ive decided to go back to school, this way when I move to take this job, I will have a much higher starting salary and pay grade, as well as many more areas to pursue. I havent been to school since 2007. I did not flunk out, but I did drop out due to taking less than required credit hours for the semester (11) and losing my scholarship and financial aid, making it impossible for me to continue.
After I left school I couldnt afford a PRIVATE student loan I had taken out, and it defaulted. I had 3 federal loans which were all paid and no missed payments, but the private loan did charge off.
Can I still get a federal student loan to go back to school? Anyone with experience in this, Im so confused and lost. A lot has changed in 5 years.
