Men's Golf Selected Fifth in Preseason Poll
January 28, 2011
HIGH POINT, N.C. - The Barton College men's golf team is picked first in the spring poll by Conference Carolinas head coaches after finishing 11th in the Golf World/Nike Golf Coaches Poll and 13th in the Golfstat poll following the fall season. The Bulldogs, led by sophomore Daniel Claytor, placed first, second, fourth, fifth and third in their five fall tournaments, winning the 21-team Kiawah Island Invitational. Claytor, who is the No. 1-ranked player in the Southeast Region with a 71.69 scoring average, was top five in every tournament and won medalist honors in a playoff at Kiawah. He was also two-time league Golfer of the Month (September & October). Pfeiffer University checked in fifth heading into the 2011 spring season.
The Bulldogs, who had a 47-9 record against DII foes, returned six players from last year's squad, which was ranked No. 2 in the Southeast and finished runner-up in the Conference Carolinas Championships. All-American Daniel Castleberry (73.9) and East Carolina University transfer Michael Marshburn (74.0) also played well in the fall (posted a school-record tying 65 at PGA National) for Barton. Freshmen Dermot McElhennon and Micah Lawrence completed the lineup in most events, but 14th-year head coach John Hackney has three other players averaging better than 75, and expects contributions from all 10 of his players.
"The guys had a nice fall, so we are just looking to back it up in the spring," said Hackney, whose teams have made 11 straight NCAA appearances. "We have some great players and great teams in our league, so I would love to see Conference Carolinas continue making inroads on the national golf scene."
Queens University of Charlotte is coming off of their best year in program history having advanced to the NCAA Championship, and have no hesitation in thinking history can not only repeat itself, but improve upon the past. Queens returns all but one player from that NCAA Championship team and currently three of the Royals starting five from the fall are ranked amongst the top 15 players in the region.
Coker College is ranked third in the pre season poll. The Cobras are coming off a successful fall campaign where they placed in the Top 10 as a team in three of their four tournaments, including winning the Lenoir-Rhyne Myrtle Beach Intercollegiate. Returning for the Cobras are Jake Murphy, the 2010 Conference Carolinas Freshman of the Year, along with All-Conference selection Jared Crane. With the help of sophomore Ben Conroy, junior Diego Polo and freshman Matt Kreider, the Cobras have a solid core of golfers that should help them compete for the Conference Carolinas Championship in April.
Rounding out the golf preseason poll 4-10 was: Belmont Abbey, Pfeiffer, Mount Olive, Limestone, Erskine, St. Andrews, and Lees-McRae respectively.

"Jugglery, slight of hand [sic], comic concerts, and songs" brought the congregation of Centenary Methodist Church and members of the Sons of Temperance, Pendleton Division No. 22, to the Lynchburg courts in 1881. In Peleg Seabury, etc. vs. E. A. Emerson, etc., 1881-030, the plaintiffs and defendants argued over the proper use of Halcombe Hall. Congregation members complained that the hall was rented out and "filled up for a public exhibition house, for theatricals, and concerts," but the Sons of Temperance deny any intention of allowing it to be used for a "demoralizing tendency."
The church purchased Halcombe Hall to promote the "cause of temperance" and objected to its use for such entertainments – especially the play, East Lynne, performed there by the Fay Templeton Star Alliance. The Sons of Temperance countered that East Lynne had "frequently been performed in said hall before the intelligent people of this city who have never pronounced it demoralizing" and that the "performance is of an elevating and refining tendency, and will not injure the morals of any, not even of those whose morals are unhealthy and have a natural demoralizing tendency."
So what was this play that caused such concern in Lynchburg? Was it so very demoralizing? The play, based on a popular English sensation novel of 1861 written by Ellen Wood, saw many … read more »

Hugh Aderholt spent nearly 15 months as a German prisoner of war.
"They didn't beat us too bad as long as we worked hard," said Aderholt, 88, of Morehead City.
Possible imprisonment was never even a thought in the months leading up to his deployment to Italy during the height of the World War II — and especially not when he first enlisted.
Aderholt dropped out of high school without his parents' permission in 1943 and tried to join the Merchant Marines but was denied. His second choice? The Army.
"The training was pretty rough," Aderholt said. "It was six days a week and it rained a lot. (But) I'd rather go through it 100 times over than be a prisoner of war again."
In August of 1943 Aderholt graduated infantry training and was immediately put on a ship that took him to Casablanca. He then was shipped across North Africa in a box car for nine days before being sent to Naples, Italy.
"We got there on a Sunday," Aderholt said. "That night the Germans bombed us. You should hear those dang things. It was scary to hear them things coming down on you just screaming. You never knew where they was gonna land."
After two weeks he joined his unit, the 34th "Red Bull" Division and participated in the battle of Monte Cassino.
"We marched into the city single file as the U.S. was shelling them," Aderholt said. "It looked like the town was on fire. It was truly something amazing to see. Everything we had was being fired on that village."
While searching a house a tank fired two main gun rounds through the wall. Aderholt and five others took cover in a bunker waiting for more incoming rounds. That was when the Germans found him.
"They took us to a house in the country and made us sleep in a shed full of hay," Aderholt said. "Then we moved to a prison camp outside of Florence for a month."
Over the course of his imprisonment he would stay at many different camps. As the Americans got closer, they uprooted the prisoners and moved to different locations, said Aderholt.
"We walked for two and a half months sleeping in sheep barns and fields," Aderholt said. "We crossed from Germany into Belgium and a lot of guys got sick and died. We were skin and bones — everyone lost a lot of weight.
"It was the worst time of my life."
But then in April 1945 the Americans got too close, and the Germans abandoned the U.S. prisoners and ran away.
"We just stood there and didn't know what to do," Aderholt said. "It felt so good to be liberated and to be free again. When the Americans finally picked us up and put us in the back of a tractor trailer it finally hit me — I was free."
It was the first time in more than a year that he knew he was going to make it home, he said.
"It was not a good feeling being stuck behind barbed wire. and I was glad that feeling is behind me," Aderholt said. "That was a tough war, old World War II.
"Good Lord, almighty, it was a hell of a war."

Security Intelligence
Security Intelligence – We develop the right defense strategy for you.
Security Intelligence is the ability to gain, merge, analyze, and visualize data in order to gain conclusive insights.
As demonstrated dramatically by numerous security incidents in the past, the motivation and aggressiveness of attackers has grown significantly. IT security must be integrated into all business and IT processes in order to cope with these developments. To achieve these objectives, it must existing "silos" must be broken and a holistic approach for security must be chosen. Prevention alone is not enough anymore. The early detection of security incidents or indications of an incident (IOC) is the challenge. To achieve this, internal as well as external sources must be used.
Internally, a data flood is underway. Keyword: Big Data. Externally, the appropriate information channels need to be selected, for example: threat intelligence feeds, global honeynet feeds, etc. Processes and people are required to control both and to integrate with technologies in order to create a good security intelligence solution.
We support our customers in advancing from a having a defensive attitude to having an active defense. Additionally we help you implement a responsive, sustainable, analysis-driven concept for your IT security. Let us advise you and show you how you can profit from our know-how gained from numerous security projects.

I think you didn't get his point: he's not worried that /he/ will misuse
pointers, he's worried that _his colleagues_ will.

If "safe" means "managed" and
"unsafe" means "unmanaged" then answer is no.
By definition as D code is "unmanaged".
To implement realy "safe" mode (whatever it means) you need
at least VM creating safe sandbox for you.
February 13, 2006Re: unsafe
By implementation detail, are you speaking to it nulling the pointer? I
was pretty sure that was in the spec, and not in the implementation.
Delete is needed if you ever want to immediately call a destructor. If
used wisely, it can also decrease the memory usage of your software, and
reduce garbage collection runs (if the GC won't run unless there's more
than X to collect.)
Overriding new and delete would definitely fit into the same class as
pointers, recursion, casting, != in fors, and delete. They're all scary.

February 13, 2006Re: unsafe
Why don't you give them access to a scripting language? Perhaps
something like Python/Ruby or even DMDScript?
If performance is an issue, just make sure the scripting language
doesn't allow eval (which is so much more evil than pointers, by the
way) and you should be able to convert easily.

Pointer problems are notoriously difficult to track. Pointers are a feature that is not necessary in 90% of production code. Hey, Joel called them DANGEROUS. (I'm going to use that one a lot now.) My example demonstrates a potential error that, if occurs in a library that you don't have source for, will cause you hours of grief. My example was carefully constructed. In it an object was passed in using the /in/ keyword. That should guarantee that my copy of the object doesn't change. If you are saying it is OK for it to change, then you are basically saying that the /in/ keyword is useless (well, not really useless but almost). I don't think that's cool. Unknown W.

The rest of these aren't really pointer bugs. So, if you want to try a slippery slope and argue that all of programming is unsafe, be my guest. It isn't particularly productive though.

>> Most programmers are amateurs; you're not going to change that.
That's an easy one. You can't do unsafe things without wrapping your
code in the unsafe keyword. That's fairly easy to add, if you ask me.
However, when that amateur gets the compiler error, he/she will look it
up. Once they do, there will be a big notice "DANGER, USE THIS INSTEAD".
I work with a lot of EEs who only had one or two programming courses.
They get a job mainly based on their hardware architecture knowledge.
Now they have I have to work with them and write a hardware simulator.
Oh, I don't know if you realize this, but essentially removed
/in/out/inout from the D spec with my example; please go read it.
If you think that people are going to use the language the RIGHT way
when there is such a tempting wrong way, I suggest you look at C++ and
its operator overloading.

I didn't say I had a solution, I just said I have a problem. The "unsafe" thing is just some syntax that looked pretty cool in C#. If c-style pointers are left the way they are now, you might as well not have in/out/inout parameters.

A lint-like tool may be the way to go. However, there definitely need to
be an in-language solution to the /in/ parameter problem. That seems to
be unacceptable (see my previous posts for the details).
There is a lint-like project for Java called Find Bugs. Bill Pugh at
UMCP is leading it. I happen to know Dr. Pugh; he taught one of my
courses and sponsored my senior C.S. project. If someone decides to work
on a lint-like tool, I will be happy to introduce them to Dr. Pugh.

A better locking bridge.
This is the new locking version of the standard Tune-O-Matic bridge that secures solidly to your guitar and won't
come loose or fall off when the strings are removed. Components are the same as those you will find installed on all
the top new guitars direct from the factory. Fits Les Paul, SG, 335, and most USA-made guitars.

Comments about TonePros Locking Tune-o-matic (small posts) Notched Saddles:
I used this to gain some intonation travel on a vintage SG. It does drop in, but the holes are larger than the old style (6/32) threads so it is a little loose. The set screw help tighten it up, but they do chew into the threads. I needed a lot of travel to get the intonation right and this bridge was not quite enough. So I wanted to turn the saddles around, but the nuts are glued on and just would not come off. Also the washers under the bolt head are very delicate and in the process of intonating, they got very ragged. Finally, the phillips head saddle bolts were very touchy and were getting stripped, even though I have first rate tools. Overall,it seems well made, the notches on the saddles were sufficient, and the look was good. But the inability to reverse the saddles, the rather delicate washers and bolts...well it is just not great.
Comments about TonePros Locking Tune-o-matic (small posts) Notched Saddles:
I put this on a 61' sg and a Les Paul standard and it works great. The precut saddles aligned with the pickup pole pieces great and actually brought the high e string in from the edge a bit (which is a good thing for those people that have high e strings rolling off the edge under vibrato). All in all very nice.
Comments about TonePros Locking Tune-o-matic (small posts) Notched Saddles:
I own two T3BP bridges. They are o.k.if you change all the strings at once, but a properly filed nut makes all the difference. Or if you have a vintage instrument. I just believe the metal used for the Schaller bridge sounds better
Comments about TonePros Locking Tune-o-matic (small posts) Notched Saddles:
I replaced my stock Gibson SG bridge with this, but it's so low quality, it's already corroded in some places, and the top layer of metal is wearing through, revealing what appears to be copper underneath. Regardless of what people say, locking bridges don't improve your intonation, because regular string pressure is enough to stabalize a non-locking bride.
Comments about TonePros Locking Tune-o-matic (small posts) Notched Saddles:
I would never use a basic Tune-O-Matic ever again after having one of these puppies on my guitar. My Schecter came stock with it and it stays in tune for long periods of time. I only have to tune my guitar about 1-2 times every two weeks. The sustain is amazing it seems to last forever. I would highly suggest buying one for any guitar that has an obsolete Tune-O-Matic.

Islamist retreat in Mali was orderly, witnesses say, suggesting force will return to fight again
One day in early January from her home in the middle of the Sahara Desert, Rakia Wallet al Hamdou watched as a hoard of Islamist rebels pulled out of the town of Kidal on what would turn out to be a surprise offensive into central Mali.

Each year around 1,000 Russian children move from orphanages to American homes through adoption.
Americans like Laurel Kish and Kim Hughes will no longer get a chance to bring a Russian child into their hearts and homes after Russian President Vladmir Putin signed a law Friday that banned Americans from adopting Russian children.
The move extinguishes the possibility of an American adoption for 52 children who were in the process of being adopted, according to the Associated Press.
Putin's move came in retaliation for a U.S. law that sanctioned Russians who were thought to be violating human rights. The law takes effect Jan. 1.
- - - - - - - - - -

Justine Kish slept with the photo of her potential adopted family under her pillow in an orphanage in St. Petersburg, Russia.
That was in 1992. Kish was 4½-years-old and had just left an orphanage for babies and entered an orphanage for toddlers. Russian orphanages grouped children according to ages.
Back in Pennsylvania, Laurel and Zoltan Ladislaus Kish held a photo of the blonde-haired girl. They watched a video of the girl in the orphanage being handed a photo of their family, pointing out "This would be Momma. This would be Poppa. This would be brother."
"She was staring at our pictures. And she wouldn't give up our pictures when they tried to take them," said Laurel Kish, who now lives in Cramerton. "So a week later they made the rounds of the orphanage. She still had our pictures in her hand. She was sleeping with them under her pillow."
Laurel's husband died in a car crash a year after the adoption. Laurel moved to Gaston County four years later to be closer to her son, bringing her Hungarian mother-in-law with her and Justine.
Kish graduated from South Point High School in 2007 and has become a world-class competitor in mixed martial arts.
But none of that would have happened if she hadn't been rescued from the Russian orphanage.
'I couldn't wait to leave Russia'
The Kishes agreed they wanted to bring this curious little girl who knew all the other orphans, helped out with chores and had a quirky sense of humor into their family. Justine, too, was eager to leave the orphanage.
"I remember being very, very excited, and I couldn't wait to leave Russia. It was a bad period for me to be in St. Petersburg, and there was no money in the orphanage," said Justine, now 24. "Even I knew that."
The family originally submitted paperwork in several countries to adopt children. Romania was having problems with international adoptions. El Salvador's adoptions were falling through at the last minute.
"Russia really chose us," Laurel said.
All of the paperwork had been put together in 1992 when the adoption agency called the Kishes to let them know that Russian children were ready to be adopted. The couple was supposed to get an older child, one under age 10. Representatives from the adoption agency went to Russia after interviewing them and decided that Justine would be a perfect fit.
"They called her 'Little Momma. She was only 4 years old. She was very helpful to them. She was the one who would help a lot of the little kids," Laurel said. "Justine knew about everyone of these kids, who could be adopted."
Coming to America
Justine was so helpful that those running the orphanage didn't want to give her up, saying she was too healthy, too good and they were getting too much work out of her.
The Kishes also had to deal with changing rules. The family wouldn't fit into the rules that were changing, but Russian officials made exceptions for them. Laurel thinks that because her husband was an emergency-room doctor, a position that has clout in Russian eyes.
The Kishes paid to have Justine visit so she could meet the family and see where she would be living, but her visit required some stealth. A person at the orphanage snuck Justine's papers out at midnight, meeting the adoption agency representative in the parking lot.
"And then I got the word that she was coming," Laurel said.
Justine was just as anxious to leave Russia as her new family was to meet her.
"On the plane, I'm looking at photographs of my family. And I'm trying to remember as many words as possible to impress them," Justine said. "I couldn't wait to get to the states."
Laurel said her daughter was a little bewildered, but brave when they picked her up at the airport. When they were leaving the airport, Laurel worried that their little girl would be terrified to leave with strangers she knew only from a photo album. But she wasn't.
"She reached over the back of the car and she patted my husband on the back and she said 'Poppa' like that," Laurel said.
'They rescued me'
Laurel would watch Justine wake up each morning, realize where she was and display a big smile. She'd giggle sometimes that Sasha, one of the boys from the orphanage, couldn't beat her up anymore.
"I remember the first day her picking up a broom. She knew three words of English, but she knew how to pick up a broom and sweep," Laurel said. "But she was a wild little thing. No, she had to do everything her own way. Nobody ever did anything for her. And that's basically the way she's always been."
Justine wanted to forget about Russia. She'd tell people she was American, not Russian. She didn't want to keep her Russian name. She wanted to learn English.
"They really rescued me," Justine said.
Athletic talent
Justine began excelling in sports in middle school and began taking martial arts classes at 13. She continued to show athletic prowess in high school while improving her martial arts skills.
She's competed all over the world in mixed martial arts and Muay Thai, a kind of Thai boxing. In November, she won the World Muay Thai Council Championship in her weight category.
Justine said she was saddened to hear about the ban on Americans adopting Russian children. Both Justine and Laurel said the decision hurts children who deserve to have a home.
Justine can't picture what life would be like if she hadn't been adopted.
"If I wasn't here right now, I can't even imagine where I would be, or if I would be alive right now because it was just that bad," Justine said.

In 1953, the I Love Lucy The Movie DVD was created and then lost. The film includes three classic first-season I Love Lucy episodes; The Benefit, Breaking the Lease and The Ballet were edited together with newly-filmed connecting scenes to create this never-before-released feature-length film. This I Love Lucy film had only a single "test" screening in 1953 at a small theater in Bakersfield, attended by the Arnazes. But Lucy and Ricky had just signed a deal with MGM to do "The Long, Long Trailer", and MGM, fearing competition, insisted that they shelve the film. That's literally what happened.

Yes, America is in simmering water right now, many of us floating in a tranquil stupor....sort of like the boiling frog story:
If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out. But if you place it gently in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, it will float there quite placidly. As the water gradually heats up, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled to death.
The boiling frog story is often used as a metaphor for the inability or unwillingness of people to react to significant changes that occur gradually. People should make themselves aware of gradual change lest they suffer eventual undesirable consequences. en.wikipedia.org

I sit in a chair just enough to keep organized, but not enough to hate it.
When I'm not sitting in a chair I'm getting the (company) truck stuck in the snow, troubleshooting a radio, or stopping for wildlife that is trying to become wilddead by standing in the middle of the road eating salt. On Thursday we had to snowmobile to the top of a mountain to clean off the solar panels on a radio tower.

You're doing it wrong. Vultures need to eat too.
No worries, these salt-licking beasts will die of high blood pressure, kidney stones, osteoporosis and hypernatremia anyway, and so will the vultures eating them. On the plus side, the salt will preserve their dead bodies for a longer time.

You have to stare at a screen for 10 hours a day; you hate it; you want to change that but can't? Why? Not because you lack opportunities, not because you can't do anything about it, but for two main reasons:
1. You got used to it. You got used to this life style you dislike and prefer to sit and whine rather than go through the pain of changing it.
2. It brings you a certain comfort. Something you can't let go. Fast Internet, life in a big city, whatever. Something you somehow wouldn't give up.
A rather extreme example: sell all your fucking belongings, move to the middle of nowhere, buy a tiny piece of land there, start growing fruits and vegetables, live off the fat of the land.

Bullshit. I certainly don't have the resources. I also spend time in front of a computer to eat, pay medical bills, rent and take care of my family.

AKRON, Ohio – A pair of first-place finishes by Anna Lamb and Laura Bess ended the Miami women's track and field's stint at the Akron Invitational on a high note Saturday.
Lamb won the 3000m, crossing the finish line in a career-best 9:48.18 to win the event by over three seconds, while Bess' personal-best time of 4:55.55 edged out Dayton's Lizzie Gleason (4:56.27).
"Anna and Laura both ran very solid races today," head coach Kelly Phillips said. "Overall, things are starting to come together for us. Next week we have a good opportunity to compete against some great competition in Michigan."
While Lamb and Bess took gold in their events, MU posted several strong performances throughout the day. Alexus Jimson-Miller continued her big debut season by finishing runner-up in the 60m hurdles with a season-best time of 8.55. The freshman also clocked a personal best in the 200m (25.16), placing fourth in the race. She also anchored the RedHawks' third-place 4x400m relay team to a season-best time of 3:47.86, teaming with Kala Allen, Taylor Wickware and Charlotte Myers.
Individually, Wickware also took fourth in the 800m Gold Division, running a season-best time of 2:11.55. Myers also notched a top-five performance, taking third in the 400m Gold Division
The Red and White field events also notched some season-best outputs. Amelia Strickler placed fourth in the shot put after launching her second throw 15.34m, which ranks second on Miami's all-time list. Adaora Anunike also posted a MU season high in the weight throw, taking sixth in the blue division with a throw of 16.70m. Erica Mudd's long jump of 5.42m also represented a season best and was good for sixth in the event.
"Alexus ran a fantastic 60m hurdles today," Phillips said. "Also, Amelia continues to perform great for us in the shot put and is starting to creep up on our school record."
The RedHawks return to the track for the GVSU Big Meet, which runs Feb. 14-15.
