Carrie Tollefson, a 2004 Olympian (1500 meters), ran through her pregnancy—right up until two days before going into labor. By the time her daughter was 3 months old, Tollefson was back to logging 40 miles a week. Granted, Tollefson went into pregnancy incredibly fit. But she says it was the weight lifting she did while pregnant—and now, postpartum—that has gotten her back up to speed quickly and without injury. "It's all about the gym," says Tollefson, who at four weeks postpartum was given the green light to resume weight lifting three days a week.
"The first focus should not be returning to running," says Tim Hilden, physical therapist at the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine. "What's most important is rehabbing the postdelivery woman—or anyone who's gone through a setback of any sort—by strengthening the muscles the body needs to recruit for running."
Tollefson's routine, shown here, is advanced—the modified versions are a good place to start. For each exercise, do three sets of 10; progress to five sets of 10. Try to do this routine three times a week—with your doctor's permission, of course.
Hamstring Curls
Strengthen glutes, hamstrings, lower back, oblique muscles, stabilizing muscles of the hips and pelvis.
Lie on the ground with your feet on a stability ball. Lift your pelvis up. Then, while maintaining that position, push the ball away with heels, then pull it back. Lower and repeat.
Place your feet on a stable object. Lift up your pelvis, lower. Progress to placing heels on a ball.
Strengthen hips, pelvis, quads, glutes, and core muscles.

Marketing Strategy Practicum
- 7-weeks
- No credits
- Prerequisite:
Marketing Strategy Practicum is a project-based course that allows you and your team to work for a client on a marketing project deemed substantial to their business. The list of clients changes each year (past projects have come from Lilly, General Mills, Intel and others). Each year we also offer significant projects from our own Bloomington Brands. Examples of past projects include a study on the viability and financial impact of selling Osmocote through supermarket channels, and development of a strategy to reach and use Master Gardeners as influencers (both for Bloomington Brands).
We meet as a whole class only a couple of times- to discuss the course and your assignments in depth, and to present to the client. The rest is done in your team, with guidance from the manager you're working for. The course will require as much time as a "regular" course.
The course is taught during the 1st 7 weeks of Spring- descriptions of the projects will be available sometime in November. Please contact professor Jonlee Andrews to learn more about the projects.
Deliverables include regular team updates with the instructor and client, and a final presentation and white paper.

Vitamin A can benefit your skin
By Meredith, Pure Matters
It comes first in the vitamin alphabet, but you're more likely to hear about the benefits of Vitamin B or Vitamin D before you hear a peep about Vitamin A, so let's show it a little love today.
The most common benefit of Vitamin A -- the one I bet you're already familiar with -- is its positive effects on vision health. Vitamin A deficiency can cause night blindness, and it's been used to treat age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma as well as cataracts. Yes, it's why your parents made you eat your carrots every night at dinner, and yes, it's why you'll never catch rabbits munching in your garden … they see you coming from a mile away (and, yes, I made that bit up).
While pegging Vitamin A as the "healthy eyes" nutrient is appropriate, it's limiting! Here are three other health benefits of Vitamin A.
It can benefit your immunity.
While Vitamin C has rightfully cornered the market on warding off colds and flu, you might want to consider Vitamin A, too. Its immunity benefits come in broader, hard-to-define strokes, but basically: Vitamin A helps in the production of white blood cells (those are the ones that fight off illness), as well as in the health of your mucous membranes -- your nostrils, your mouth, your eyelids. If those areas are healthy and their defenses are able to ward off illness, you're less likely to catch that cold that's been getting passed around.
It can benefit your sexual health.
Ladies, if you suffer from difficult periods -- the kind that stick around for more than the usual three to five days and tend toward the heavy side -- it may be due to a Vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A plays a big role in women's sexual health, particularly during pregnancy, when it's crucial in the development of an embryo.
And Vitamin A isn't just important for women -- when it comes to men, Vitamin A is "absolutely essential" to the production of sperm. That's a key detail if you're trying to start a family and looking to maximize your manpower. Interestingly enough, scientists suspect that inhibiting a man's body's use of Vitamin A eventually hold be the key to a male birth control pill.
It can benefit your skin health.
Because it's an antioxidant and ultimately helps keep your cells healthy, Vitamin A can help with certain skin issues. It's a common ingredient in acne medications, particularly those that treat cystic acne.
If you're past your acne days and more worried about aging, research has shown that topical application of Vitamin A can help reduce the appearance of age spots. Vitamin A is a trendy ingredient in pricey department store skin treatments, such as Laura Mercier's Mult-Vitamin Serum. (If you've ever tried that product, I'd love to hear whether or not it worked in the comments!)
Sold on the benefits of Vitamin A? There are three ways to get it — through animal sources, like fish and eggs and dairy products, through fruits and veggies like carrots and sweet potatoes, or through a daily Vitamin A supplement.

The Healing Power of Oxygen
The air we breathe contains 21 percent oxygen. During hyperbaric therapy, the patient breathes 100 percent oxygen at greater than normal atmospheric pressure.
While providing 100 percent oxygen through a facemask has certain benefits, providing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber delivers even greater benefits. Hyperbaric therapy works by increasing oxygen carried in the blood stream – not by the oxygen having direct contact with the skin or wounds. Hyperbaric therapy has been proven to:
- Promote blood vessel formation
- Enhance wound healing
- Improve infection control
- Preserve damaged tissues
- Eliminate and reduce effects from toxic substances
- Reduce or eliminate tissue and blood flow obstruction by gas bubbles
For a patient with a problem wound, increasing blood oxygen levels promotes healing. For a victim of smoke inhalation, the extra oxygen can rapidly reverse the toxic effects of poisonous carbon monoxide.
Hyperbaric oxygen treatments are normally painless. The patient lies comfortably and restfully in an enclosed plastic acrylic chamber. You can watch TV, listen to music or even sleep. Side effects are limited, with the most commonly reported including light-headedness or popping in the ears.

Jetty is a project at the Eclipse Foundation.
|Jetty Powered:
private support for your internal/customer projects ... custom extensions and distributions ... versioned snapshots for indefinite support ... scalability guidance for your apps and Ajax/Comet projects ... development services from 1 day to full product delivery
Clustering with Jetty and WADI
What is WADI?
WADI is an acronym of 'WADI Application Distribution Infrastructure'. WADI started life as a solution to the problems surrounding the distribution of state in clustered web tiers, but is becoming a more generalised distributed space service.
How to cluster your web application with Jetty and WADI
First, svn checkout jetty and then buid it by calling mvn install. Once it finishes, go to jetty.home/extras/wadi and mvn install that project. Besides compiling the java files and generating the jetty-wadi-session-manager jar file, this will copy all the dependencies into jetty.home/lib/wadi.
To cluster a webapp, you need to define the WadiSessionManager and create an instance of WadiSessionHandler (passing the WadiSessionManager object as a constructor parameter). Then set the WadiSessionHandler as your webapp's SessionHandler. You can do this in a context xml config file.
This context xml config file is readily usable. After building the jetty.home/extras/wadi project, drop this config file into the jetty.home/contexts directory. You can create a node in the cluster by calling "java -Dnode.name=nodename -Djetty.port=portnumber Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar start.jar etc/jetty.xml" in the jetty home directory (where nodename=a distinct node name for this node, and portnumber=a distinct port number for this node).
For instance, if you want to create a cluster with three nodes, you can do so by calling the following:
java -Djetty.port=7070 -Dnode.name=orange -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar start.jar etc/jetty-wadi-cluster.xml
java -Djetty.port=8080 -Dnode.name=red -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar start.jar etc/jetty-wadi-cluster.xml
java -Djetty.port=9090 -Dnode.name=blue -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar start.jar etc/jetty-wadi-cluster.xml

I'm sure those of you who watch Dexter know what I'm talking about. For the longest time I thought it was "blood splatter" and looking at Google results, I'm not alone.
Don't know how well known it is, but it IS a real branch of forensics. I don't know if it's well-known enough to be 'eggcorn' material, but its notoriety definitely increased ever since Dexter became a hit TV show.

It's not clear to me that this is an eggcorn. Is there any difference in meaning between spatter and splatter? Etymonline suggests that splatter might have originated as a blend of splash and spatter.
"Spatter" and "splatter" are not quite the same, to me at least. "Spatter" emphasizes the scattering of something either of a drop-like nature or a drop-like size. "Splatter" seems to focus on the impact itself, not just on the result, with implications of a subdued, liquidy sound. When you open the wrong end of a bag of frozen peas, they spatter across the floor, but they don't really splatter.

Curious about getting rid of dark armpits and whiten dark underarms? Not simply can they cause you to look aware whilst putting on sleeveless clothing, but additionally while wearing a bathing suit or maybe planning to a parlor for additional remedies. Nonetheless, to comprehend how to get rid of dark underarms, you need to understand the dilemma.
It's likely you have discovered that renowned deodorant manufacturers are usually operating campaigns which guarantee to whiten underarms. However, eliminating darker underarms is just not as simple as many of us believe that it is. While these could actually help to some degree, deodorants are the cause of darker underarms to begin with. So, to understand how to get rid of dark underarms, you must realize just what could possibly be triggering dark underarms in the first place.
This occurs as no real surprise that a lot of girls possess dark underarms, mainly because there are actually lots of aspects that develop this issue.
If you use a razor to shave, you take off wild hair simply beneath the surface area belonging to the skin. Shaving ends up with unpleasant stubble, which provides the optical illusion that you simply have darker underarms. Exactly the same applies to hair removing products like Anne French or Veet. Both of those also take away hair on the surface merely, which can make the underarms look more dark. The truth that shaving results in ingrown hair furthermore additionally results in the condition. Alternatively, have a shot at waxing since it purges the hair with the root by itself.
Darker underarms might be the consequence of dead cells deposition on your underarms. All that's necessary to accomplish is exfoliate smoothly, possibly simply by using a loofah or scrubs having lactic acid solution.
Several concepts disclose the fact that chemical substances in powerful deodorants could possibly be the reason behind darker underarms. This results in pigmentation, which sometimes bring about once and for good darker armpits. In order to modify that, employ deos for delicate skin or resort to organic options for coping with underarm odour.
Occasionally, whenever we put on stretched clothes on a regular basis, the friction among the substance and your armpits can result in darkening. To invert this deterioration, swap to looser clothes and materials that inhale without difficulty in the summertime. Fundamentally, body fat built up underneath the limb rubs next to cloth and causes darkening. Slimming down may also assist.
Sometimes, hereditary factors could possibly be the trigger for darkened underarms. It may be extreme fat gain hormonal factors that result in skin discoloration as well as the use of birth control pills. Such situations, pay a visit to the physician to receive specialized suggestions because the challenge is actually considerably much deeper compared to just simply dark underarms.
What lots of people don't understand is that diabetes also causes pigmentation, contributing to darker underarms. The simplest way to cope with this can be to take care of most effective insulin levels and try natural remedies.
Given that we know very well what could be causing darker underarms, let us concentrate on how to get rid of these.
The most important reason for dark underarms is shaving or using hair removal creams. Instead, try waxing. It will hurt much more, yet at the very least the hair will be stripped away from the foundation and your underarms will certainly look fairer quickly. Waxing also functions being an exfoliating procedure. For individuals who would like to eliminate underarm hair permanently, electrolysis is another long term alternative. On time, the darkened sections under the arm will brighten.
Probably the most efficient solutions to lighten underarms is usually to stroke them with lemon juice everyday just before going for a shower. Lemon is a natural bleaching agent and can slowly but surely lighten the region. Right after your bath, use moisturizer to ease your skin and omit the deodorant for some days.
To eliminate dark underarms, create a self made whitening pack or purchase one in the marketplace. If you would like make the mask at your home, blend a handful of gram flour with yogurt, lemon and a little turmeric powder. Preserve it for 15-20 minutes, after which wash it down. If you want to purchase a ready made mask – try any clay-based lightening skin mask.
Potato also works as a natural bleaching agent. You may either rub underarm skin with thinly sliced potatoes, or grate the potato and utilize the liquid to the damaged region. Keep it on for 15 minutes and rinse. You will learn that shortly the underarm skin seems to be brighter in color. In the same way, you can grate a cucumber and apply the juice under your arms.
A highly effective home cure that works in a couple of ways is blending a nip of saffron in two spoonfuls of milk or cream and applying to the underarms before bed. Keep this for the entire night, and wash off the following morning. Not only does this lightens the underarms, but also wipes out all bacterias and germs that cause underarm odour.
Considering that we know that your deodorant or antiperspirant could be the reason you have darker underarms, give them a neglect. Instead, try natural remedies to fight body odor for a few days. You can mix the baking soda using a little water and clean the underarms using this solution. Anti-fungal powders and alum may also be great choices. As soon as your underarms look lighter, shift to specialized whitening Deos or Deos produced specifically sensitive skin.
One more smart way to deal with dark underarms the natural way is to create a paste of sandalwood with rose water. While the sandalwood provides lightening components, the rose water will cool down the skin and make it smoother. Leave the substance for a few minutes before cleaning it off and utilize this every day to find out the variation.
In case your dark underarms really are a outcome of dead cell accumulation, the best way to treat this is to use whitening scrubs. Pick a scrub for sensitive skin, such as Nivea, St Ives and Everyuth Naturals.

What to Do About Asbestos
You can't detect asbestos on sight alone. Don't touch suspected asbestos in good condition. Avoid touching or exposing your family to any damaged asbestos, and test any suspected asbestos before remodeling.
Hire somebody to test the asbestos, then somebody else to remediate. Otherwise, the testers may find overestimate the asbestos content to drive up their charges. Don't worry if the remediation doesn't actually remove all the asbestos. Professional repairs typically involve covering the material or applying a sealant that binds the fibers. Removal can be more expensive. Either way, don't try it at home. Leave it to the experts.

A golf ball is a ball designed to be used in the game of golf.
A regulation golf ball weighs no more than 1.620 oz (45.93 grams), with a diameter over 1.680 in (42.67 mm), and is symmetrically spherical in shape. Like golf clubs, golf balls are subject to testing and approval by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews and the United States Golf Association, and those that do not conform with regulations may not be used in competitions (Rule 5-1 — also see rules of golf).
Wooden balls were used until the early 17th century, when the featherie ball was invented. This added a new and exciting feature to the game of golf. A featherie is a hand sewn leather pouch stuffed with goose feathers and coated with paint. The feathers in the ball were enough to fill a top hat. They were boiled and put in the cowhide bag. As it cooled, the feathers would expand and the hide would shrink, making a compact ball. Due to its superior flight characteristics, the featherie remained the standard ball for more than two centuries. However, an experienced ball maker could only make a few balls in one day, so they were expensive. A single ball would cost between 2 shillings and sixpence and 5 shillings, which is the equivalent of around 10 to 20 US dollars today . Also, it was hard to make a perfectly spherical ball, and because of that, the ball often flew irregularly. When playing in wet weather, the stiches in the ball would rot, and the ball would split open after hitting a hard surface.
In 1848, the Rev. Dr. Robert Adams (or Robert Adam Paterson) invented the gutta-percha ball (or guttie). The gutta was created from dried sap of a Sapodilla Tree. The sap had a rubber-like feel and could be made round by heating and shaping it while hot. Accidentally, it was discovered that defects in the sphere could provide a ball with a truer flight than a pure sphere. Thus, makers started creating intentional defects in the surface to have a more consistent ball flight. Because gutties were cheaper to produce and could be manufactured with textured surfaces to improve their aerodynamic qualities, they replaced feather balls completely within a few years.
In the 20th century, multi-layer balls were developed, first as wound balls consisting of a solid or liquid-filled core wound with a layer of rubber thread and a thin outer shell. This idea was first discovered by Coburn Haskell of Cleveland, Ohio in 1898. Haskell had driven to nearby Akron to keep a golf date with Bertram Work, then superintendent of B.F. Goodrich. While he waited for Work at the plant, Haskell idly wound a long rubber thread into a ball. When he bounced the ball, it flew almost to the ceiling. Work suggested Haskell put a cover on the creation, and that was the birth of the 20th century golf ball. The design allowed manufacturers to fine-tune the length, spin and "feel" characteristics of balls. Wound balls were especially valued for their soft feel.
They usually consist of a two-, three-, or four-layer design, (named either a two-piece, three-piece, or four-piece ball) consisting of various synthetic materials like surlyn or urethane blends. They come in a great variety of playing characteristics to suit the needs of golfers of different abilities.
Until 1990 it was permissible to use balls of no less than 1.62 inches in diameter in tournaments under the jurisdiction of the R&A.
A ball moving through air experiences two major aerodynamic forces, lift and drag. Dimpled balls fly farther than non-dimpled balls due to the combination of two effects:
Firstly, the dimples delay separation of the boundary layer from the ball. Early separation, as seen on a smooth sphere, causes significant wake turbulence, the principal cause of drag. The separation delay caused by the dimples therefore reduces this wake turbulence, and hence the drag.
Secondly, backspin generates lift by deforming the airflow around the ball, in a similar manner to an airplane wing. This is called the Magnus effect. Backspin is imparted in almost every shot due to the golf club's loft (i.e. angle between the clubface and a vertical plane). A backspinning ball experiences an upward lift force which makes it fly higher and longer than a ball without spin. Sidespin occurs when the clubface is not aligned perpendicularly to the direction of swing, leading to a lift force that makes the ball curve to one side or the other. Unfortunately the dimples magnify this effect as well as the more desirable upward lift derived from pure backspin. (Some dimple designs are claimed to reduce sidespin effects.)
In order to keep the aerodynamics optimal, the ball needs to be clean. Golfers can wash their balls manually, but there are also mechanical ball washers available.
destinee = nastyDimples first became a feature of golf balls when a certain Taylor patented a dimple design in 1908. Other types of patterned covers were in use at about the same time, including one called a "mesh" and another named the "bramble", but the dimple became the dominant design due to "the superiority of the dimpled cover in flight".
Most golf balls on sale today have about 250 – 450 dimples. There were a few balls having over 500 dimples before. The record holder was a ball with 1,070 dimples — 414 larger ones (in four different sizes) and 656 pinhead-sized ones. All brands of balls, except one, have even-numbered dimples. The only odd-numbered ball on the market is a ball with 333 dimples, called the Srixon AD333.
Officially sanctioned balls are designed to be as symmetrical as possible. This symmetry is the result of a dispute that stemmed from the Polara, a ball sold in the late 1970s that had six rows of normal dimples on its equator but very shallow dimples elsewhere. This asymmetrical design helped the ball self-adjust its spin-axis during the flight. The USGA refused to sanction it for tournament play and, in 1981, changed the rules to ban aerodynamic asymmetrical balls. Polara's producer sued the USGA and the association paid US$1.375 million in a 1985 out-of-court settlement.
Golf equipment maker Callaway has introduced a ball with hexagonal dimples to increase the dimpled area on a golf ball, as hexagons tesselate unlike circles.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office's patent database is a good source of past dimple designs. Most designs are based on Platonic solids such as icosahedron.
Golf balls are usually white, but are available in other high visibility colours , which helps with finding the ball when lost or when playing in frosty conditions. As well as bearing the makers name or logo, balls are usually printed with numbers or other symbols to help players identify their ball.
Advanced balls are made of multiple layers (three or more), with a soft cover and firm core. They induce a greater amount of spin from lofted shots (wedges especially), as well as a sensation of softness in the hands in short-range shots. However, these balls require a much greater swing speed that only the physically strong players could carry out to compress at impact. If the compression of a golf ball does not match a golfer's swing speed, either the lack of compression or over-compression will occur, resulting in loss of distance. There are also many brands and colors to choose from, with colored balls and better brands generally being more expensive, making an individual's choice more difficult.

Refinished, sometimes called reconditioned or refurbished, golf balls are different than used. Refinished golf balls may look new, but do not meet the manufacturer's original requirements. In the processing procedure, the golf ball is stripped of its original surface paint and reprinted with the original markings, then a new clear/coat is applied.
Jason Zuback broke the world ball speed record on an episode of Sports Science with a golf ball speed of 328 km/h (204 mph). The previous record of 302 km/h (188 mph) was held by José Ramón Areitio, a Jai Alai player.

Havelock commissioners have long lobbied for a solution to traffic issues at the intersection of U.S. 70 and Slocum Road at Cherry Point's back gate.
They thought the answer to the problem was creation of a flyover interchange that would allow eastbound workers entering the base to efficiently transit over westbound traffic.
This was, and is, a solution on which commissioners, base officials and N.C. Department of Transportation engineers agree.
But DOT's proposed rearrangement of traffic patterns associated with the interchange has been a source of disagreement ever since the state announced its design plans last year.
On Monday night during their board meeting, city commissioners again expressed displeasure with what they see as DOT's apparent inflexibility on the design of the project.
Mayor Will Lewis cited correspondence between the city and the DOT and a Dec. 13 letter from the state "where they essentially said no to everything except one thing we asked."
The city's concerns include several key features of the DOT plan, including:
-- closure of the service road in front of Wells Wayside Furniture;
-- absence of a pedestrian walkway along Marsha's Way, a new road to be constructed between the MacDonald Downs subdivision and Tucker Creek subdivision, and absence of a pedestrian access from MacDonald Downs to Walmart;
-- closure of the entrance to MacDonald Downs;
-- a controlled hazard light at Pine Grove Road for emergency vehicles from the West End Fire Station;
-- conversion of the U.S. 70/Pine Grove Road/Hickman Hill Loop Road intersection in front of Wells Wayside to a superstreet intersection that reduces the traffic pattern and requires motorists entering Hickman Hills and Tucker Creek to make U-turns rather than left turns at the current traffic signal.
The city expressed 11 points of concern with DOT's plans in a June 25 letter and eventually whittled those to five in a July 15 letter. Of the five points of concern, the city appears to have received accommodation on only one — the hazard light for emergency vehicles at the fire station.
In its Dec. 13 letter, the DOT said it could accommodate the city's request for pedestrian improvements along Marsha's Way as long as the city paid for it and was responsible for its maintenance. The estimated 2,800-foot walkway could cost about $20,000. The state flatly declined the city's proposal for pedestrian access from MacDonald Downs to Walmart.
The DOT said it is still attempting to decide about the Wells Wayside access issue based on the opinion of the property owner.
Concerning the MacDonald Downs entrance, the state is still holding firm to its proposal to close the existing access and funnel that traffic out via Marsha's Way and Pine Grove Road.
Concerning Hickman Hills access, the state contends that "there will be sufficient gaps in U.S. 70 eastbound traffic flow to enable U-turns from a stop condition, as well as adequate sight distance for the travelers."
"That's their plan. They're going to stick with it," Commissioner Danny Walsh said.
Walsh said that the original intent of the entire project was to eliminate crashes at U.S. 70 and Slocum Road, but the future plan, he said, just moves the danger westward a few hundred yards.
"Instead of front-end collisions, you're going to have rear-end collisions," Walsh contended. "This whole system is totally wrong for the future. DOT is not right. DOT is wrong on this."
City Manager Frank Bottorff called for an urgent meeting between city officials and DOT engineers.
"We need to do a lot of legwork in advance so that we're all talking on the same page and we all have it figured out in advance," Walsh said.
Commissioners said that the city needed to get help from county, state and federal elected officials.
Lewis said the city needed to tread lightly. After all, congressional representatives had a hand in helping get the project off the ground after city officials expressed concern over vehicle crashes and frequent traffic backups during rush hours, he said.
"The talk's been thrown around that we'll just kill the project and I don't think for political capital, it's not that simple," he said. "So just to throw that in everybody's mind, it's a decision we're going to have to think long and hard about if we can't mitigate everything that we want. We certainly don't want to make our citizens' lives harder, but at the same time we don't want to destroy relationships that have been built over the last several years."
The $20.5 million project is slated to start in December with right-of-way acquisition. Construction is set for December of 2015.
In other business Monday night, the board:
-- decided against moving forward with a pay and classification study in lieu of having the city manager make proposed adjustments to pay scales and bring forward the proposals to the board;
-- asked Bottorff and City Planner Katrina Marshall to make proposals for changes to city rules concerning maintenance of developed and undeveloped property. In a 45-minute discussion, the board considered possible new regulations that could require property owners to have perimeter buffers clear of unmaintained growth of grass and weeds. The board also discussed ways to use city rules to require property owners to clear growth from front yard/street-side ditches. The discussion took place based on a citizen complaint about the maintenance of undeveloped property in her neighborhood that is deemed to be in a "natural" state and could violate current regulations. The board plans to revisit the matter at a future meeting.

I'm embarrassed to have to admit that Mr. Jones is my representative in the U.S. Congress after his complaint about
Remember Lt. Cable's song from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical "South Pacific":
"You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a different shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!"
How sad that Mr. Jones is trying to continue to ensure that hate and intolerance (for some of the Creator's children) thrive in our society.
Ellen Herron,

The term direct solar gain simply means window placement and design. In warm climates, the largest windows should be on the north side to minimize heat gain in summer months but still allow plenty of natural light. In cold climates, large and insulating windows should be on the south side of the house. They will draw heat during the winter, and are easily shaded with awnings, trees and bushes, or window coverings in the summer.
EnergyStar-rated windows and many other models come with a label that lists four numbers. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends fitting south-facing windows with double- or triple-pane glass that has a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of at least 0.6, a U-factor of less than 0.35 and a high visible transmittance (VT) to allow in plenty of light and reduce the need for artificial lighting. Also keep windows clean inside and out to maximize the incoming sunlight.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, Nov. 24, 11 pm (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: Aloha Stadium (50,000) -- Honolulu, Hawaii. Television: Time Warner Cable. Home Record: UNLV 2-5, Hawaii 1-3. Away Record: UNLV 0-5, Hawaii 0-6. Neutral Record: UNLV 0-0, Hawaii 0-0. Conference Record: UNLV 2-5, Hawaii 0-7. Series Record: Hawaii leads, 13-8.
GAME NOTES: Two of the more disappointing teams in the Mountain West Conference get together on Saturday, as the Hawaii Warriors welcome the UNLV Rebels to Aloha Stadium in Honolulu.
Under the direction of new head coach Norm Chow, the Warriors began play in the MWC this year and enjoyed very little success. In fact, the lone win for the Warriors came at home the second week of the season, a 54-2 triumph versus Lamar, which means the team still hasn't defeated another FBS program since taking down Tulane in late November of last year. The most recent league triumph for Hawaii was a 16-14 decision against Idaho on Oct. 29, 2011 when the team was still a member of the Western Athletic Conference.
It goes without saying that, with their 21-7 loss to Air Force last Friday night, the Warriors are now winless in conference (0-6) and are owners of an eight-game losing streak, which is tied for the fourth-longest in the nation this week.
While Hawaii still has one more game left on the schedule in early December against South Alabama, this is the 2012 swan song for the Rebels who, if they fail to win here will have matched their win total from each of the past two seasons. UNLV has come out on the winning side only twice this year, against Air Force and New Mexico, so at least the triumphs came in conference play.
Last weekend, the team fought hard against Wyoming at home, but was dealt a 28-23 setback, the second straight loss and the seventh in eight tries for UNLV.
Hawaii leads the all-time series between these two squads, 13-8, although it was UNLV that posted a convincing 40-20 victory in Las Vegas last season.
After suffering an injury against Colorado State a week earlier, Nick Sherry sat as Caleb Herring started at quarterback for the Rebels and the change nearly paid off. Herring completed 22-of-36 for a career-high 268 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn't quite enough as the UNLV defense allowed Wyoming to produce more than 400 passing yards and 500 yards of offense overall.
Sherry, who is still a possibility for this game, has been decent for the Rebels this year, hitting his attempts at a 54.6 percent clip, but his 15 touchdowns and 14 interceptions are too close when it comes to risk-versus- reward. However, giving the offense some serious punch this year has been Tim Cornett with his 1,200 rushing yards and seven TDs, his scoring total one less than that of Bradley Randle who has accounted for another 617 yards on the ground.
Just like UNLV, the Warriors also went with a backup quarterback against Air Force last week, as Jeremy Higgins began taking the snaps for the hosts. Higgins, actually put the Warriors on top with a 26-yard TD pass to Clark Evans in the first quarter, but after that the Hawaii offense disappeared. Higgins finished the meeting 14-of-23 for 125 yards and was sacked three times. Sean Schroeder even made an appearance, but he missed on all five of his pass attempts and was sacked once as well.
Also causing the Hawaii offense to sputter a bit was the fact that Will Gregory, the leading running back for the team with 62.3 ypg, was suspended for the outing. This is a program that has always had trouble producing on the group, now averaging 93.5 ypg (114th nationally), but at least they always had an aggressive passing attack with qualified personnel.
It seems that now the Warriors don't have much to lean on from an offensive standpoint because they are averaging just 188.4 ypg through the air and a minuscule 281-9 ypg overall which is second-worst in the FBS. Put it together and this is a group scoring a mere 18.3 ppg, 10th in the conference and 113th in the country.
If the defense had any influence maybe games wouldn't be such blowouts for the Warriors, but the fact is this group is allowing opponents to walk (run, pass) all over them and it isn't pretty. Only twice this season has Hawaii allowed fewer than 35 points (Lamar and Air Force), which has led to the group giving up an unsightly 41.1 ppg overall.
UNLV may not be a scoring powerhouse, but against a defense like the Warriors you can't be so sure. As long as the defense can keep the Hawaii offense guessing, this is a game for the Rebels to win.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: UNLV 28, Hawaii 17

It is brushed suede and the color was spot on. The only con I can say about this one is it should be just a little thicker. The fit was perfect. The last one was more about protecting the car from heat than to look good so time will tell if this does as well as the first from protecting against the heat.

The rear deck cover is high quality and looks very good in the back window. Gives the car a nice overall look compared to old faded original fabric. Fits well, but does allow the original fabric to be seen in the corners here and there. There are NO holes for the speakers, but could easily be cut to fit. I just left it over them as they sound the same either way. It did take a little work to get it around the rear deck tail light housing but it looks good that way.

For a photo gallery from the Havelock-Swansboro basketball games, click here: http://portal.havenews.com/photogallery/?CatID=6&AlbumID=2238
Defense, the staple of Havelock's powerful football program, carried over to the hardwood Wednesday night as the Rams laid a different sort of blitz on the visiting Swansboro Pirates.
Havelock forced 19 Pirate turnovers in a 70-36 route.
Sophomore Kyran Bowman dazzled the crowd with rim-rocking jams and fluid long-range shooting as he led the Rams with 19 points. Older brother Micheal added 12, while sophomore center Keion Joyner poured in 17.
Both Micheal Bowman and Joyner also got in on the dunk show that broke out at the basketball game.
"We tried man-to-man defense early because the boys wanted to and it wasn't working very well, so we switched to the 2-3 zone, got in the passing lanes and got into transition and got I don't know how many dunks," Havelock coach Bill Fryczynski said. "That's the entire key to our offense – get out in transition and take advantage of our athleticism."
Swansboro hung tough for the first quarter, trailing 14-11, but got down 35-19 at the half and it only spiraled out of control from there.
"We just moved the ball great tonight," Joyner said. "I feel like when we play together and the way we did tonight, we shouldn't lose to anyone."
Joyner swished a pair of 3-pointers in addition to being a force in the paint.
Havelock dominated the rebounding in the contest as well, 34-22.
Jared Morton was the lone Pirate in double-figures, leading the way with 11 points.
Havelock's win extended its winning-streak to six games, as they are undefeated since many of the football players joined the team after winning the state title on Dec. 14.
The Rams were able to empty the bench as everyone in white and black got into the game.
"They are a goofy bunch to coach," Fryczynski said with a smile. "But they are fun to coach and fun to watch and I like this team and hopefully we can keep this streak going Friday night down at Jacksonville."
Havelock improves to 6-5 overall and 3-0 in the Coastal Conference, while Swansboro drops to 4-10 and 0-4 in conference play.
Havelock (70) – Kyran Bowman 19, Keion Joyner 17, Micheal Bowman 12, Jordan Begley 8, Matt Boykin 3, Anthony Fisher 3, Jordan Cuthbertson 2, Shondel Granison 2, Maurice Harris 2, Ransford Johnson 2.

OXFORD, Ohio - Sarah Mueller came up big in goal with eight saves, including several late as the Miami University field hockey team defeated Kent State, 2-1, Saturday afternoon to earn the Mid-American Conference Tournament Championship. It is the first tournament championship in school history. The RedHawks improve to 12-9 on the season, while the Golden Flashes finish the season at 9-13.
As MAC Tournament Champion, Miami will now advance to
take on Stanford, which defeated Liberty 3-0 for the NorPac Tournament title on
Saturday, for an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The NorPac champion has
the right to host the match, but the Cardinal have agreed to play it at
Longwood University in Farmville, Va., where they just concluded the NorPac
Tournament. The game will take place on Tuesday at a 1 p.m.
Bea Dechant, who had the game-winning goal in both tournament games, was named the MAC Tournament MVP. Mueller, Ali Froede and Jordan Long joined her on the All-Tournament Team.
Miami had the first good scoring chance of the game in the fourth minute. Leni Gross had a shot that beat the Golden Flashes' goalkeeper, but Abbie Carrico was in position to make a save. About three minutes later Hannah Faulkner took a shot that Mueller saved, but the rebound came right back to her. Faulkner then put the rebound in to give Kent State a 1-0 lead.
It remained that way until the 31st minute when the RedHawks were able to even the score. Gross took the ball into the center of the circle and sent a pass to Olivia Miller in the right corner. Miller one-timed the shot into the net to send the game into the break tied at one.
Kent State earned a pair of penalty corners in the first seven minutes of the second half. Each time it was able to get off a good scoring attempt, but Mueller made a couple of saves to keep the game tied. In the 44th minute the RedHawks received a penalty corner of their own. Emily Gruesser sent a pass into Froede. Froede then found Dechant who plugged it in to give Miami a 2-1 lead.
The Golden Flashes became the aggressors as they looked for the tying goal. In the 54th minute Julia Hofmann took a one-timer on a penalty corner, but Mueller was able to block it away. Hofmann would break free on another penalty corner in the 65th minute, but this time Mueller came out of net and kicked it out of the circle to end the threat. Mueller made four saves over the final 25 minutes to secure the championship for Miami.
Kent State outshot the 'Hawks, 18-12, for the game. Miller led Miami with six shots. The Golden Flashes had a 6-5 advantage in penalty corners with all six coming in the second half.

Loved my Invitations
I loved the invitations (in color combo of carnation and Ivory) once I received the final product in the mail and I must say the pearl paper complimented the design perfectly. I'm very excited to mail out the invites and I know that everyone is going to think they are beautiful! My only wish is that the design center was a little bit easier to navigate (maybe it is just me being computer illiterate!) so that I could make changes and tweak the text and sizing on my own without having to go through the proofing process several times. However, the designers who work on the personalization and proofing of your invitations are SO helpful, that I feel like I shouldn't complain! Thank you Magnet street!
Sooo easy to design. And fun! I'm in love with this Web site!
These invitations are simply elegant and beautiful in person. The paper quality is phenomenal and the layout is perfect. I also ordered the rsvp postcards and guest info inserts and those were equally gorgeous. I was very proud to mail these out! I highly recommend them! P.S. They looked perfect in purple and champagne!
Perfect invites
Ordering from Magnet Street was easy and making my invitations unique was great. They make it simple to choose your own color, font, and wording. My proofs were sent and they even responded quickly to my changes. Only small problem was not receiving they correct quantity of an item. I called customer service though and was quickly sent the others I did not receive. However, it would have been nice to have been offered a discount on my next purchase since it was a small inconvenience and since I planned on purchasing my programs and thank yous from them.

PowerBuilder 11's features have new prerequisite software items that you'll need to install and configure before making your first .NET deployment.
The .NET Framework and its SDK act as a foundation for PowerBuilder's .NET capabilities. You'll want to review the PowerBuilder installation guide, especially Table 1-3 for a concise yet comprehensive list of these prerequisite packages and tasks.
Let's Get to Work: Migration
To take advantage of PowerBuilder's .NET capabilities, you'll need to migrate your application to PowerBuilder 11. Before you do anything else, review the migration guide in the "User's Guide" under Working with Libraries>Migrating Targets
Invaluable anecdotal information and recommendations can also be found in Terry Voth's (TeamSybase - www.TeamSybase.com) Migration Guide...especially for "grooming" PBLs before migration by optimizing them.
Of course, if you're migrating from PowerBuilder 6.5 or earlier, you'll be working more issues than an application that's on version 10.5. As of PowerBuilder 10, unicode rather than ANSI is the default for the character encoding format and will impact strings in external function calls, string length calculations, etc. The compiler in PowerBuilder 11 is more stringent about certain coding practices like casting. Distributed PowerBuilder (DPB) has been removed. Graphics capabilities that were added in 10.5 may cause visual changes in your layouts and fonts that you may want to adjust.
I highly recommend creating a formalized Migration Plan. Not only will this plan let you identify refactoring tasks that need to be done, it will also let you quantify the number of those tasks and estimate the time and effort they'll require. Migrating your application forward should be relatively painless if it's managed as the bona fide project it is.
Let's presuppose your application is on a version of PowerBuilder no earlier than 7.x. Below, we'll cite possible migration tasks related to each subsequent version leading up to PowerBuilder 11. Then we'll examine the Migration Assistant tool and how it can help you to identify which of these migration issues affect your application.
Migration Issues Version by Version
- PowerBuilder 7.x
- New IDE
- TreeView and ListView changes
- PowerBuilder 8.x
- Workspaces and Targets added
- Source Code Control (SCC) configuration
- SystemError event behavior changes
- PowerBuilder 9.x
- PowerDynamo support removed
- Distributed PowerBuilder removed
- PowerBuilder 10
- Unicode implementation
- Last Sybase delivery of PFC (now Open Source)
- SQL Server native driver removed
- PowerBuilder 10.5
- Byte data type added
- Updated Decimal support
- Rich Text Control implementation enhanced
- Icon changes
- .NET Web Service support added
- PowerBuilder 11
- SySAM license management added
- DataDirect database drivers removed
- SQL Server native driver (SNC) added
The Migration Assistant tool exists to help you discover migration issues in your PBLs before you make your first attempt to migrate your applications and targets. (Figure 1)
Note: You'll want to use the Migration Assistant to analyze your PBLs using PowerBuilder 11 before you open your application in the IDE to migrate it.
It can be accessed from PowerBuilder's menu by clicking on File>New and then choosing the Tool tabpage in that response window.
The tool will search for obsolete syntax as well as for other migration issues in the PowerBuilder versions between 6 and 11 that you specify. If you're migrating from PowerBuilder 5 or earlier, you'll want to check all the versions available up to and including 11. (Figure 2)
The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

OXFORD, Ohio - After Colgate scored the game's first goal, the No. 8/8 Miami hockey team responded with five unanswered goals, including three in the third period, to complete a weekend sweep of the Raiders with a 5-1 victory Saturday night at Steve Cady Arena. The RedHawks (2-0-0) opened the season with a sweep for just the second time in the last five years as Miami blanked Colgate (1-2-0), 3-0, in its season opener Friday.
The 'Hawks received offensive contributions from all four forward lines as five different players notched goals while 11 RedHawks recorded at least a point, led by a trio of assists from sophomore Cody Murphy. The three helpers marked a career high in both points and assists for Murphy. Classmates Alex Wideman and Blake Coleman each tallied multiple points as well with a goal and an assist each.
"That's the way it is going to be for us, everyone is going to do their part and just play hard and continue to play hard and continue to execute on our game plan. Hopefully good things will happen," head coach Enrico Blasi said. "We are getting good play from everybody. It's tough to close out a team in college hockey and I think our young guys got a good lesson in that this weekend. We learned a lot and that's the experience I was talking about earlier in the week. There's only one way to get the experience and that's to go through it."
For the second straight night, Miami received strong goaltending from a freshman as Jay Williams made 20 saves while allowing just one goal in his first collegiate action to earn his first career win. Classmate Ryan McKay pitched the shutout Friday night in his first game at Miami.
Colgate jumped out in front 11:40 into the opening period as the RedHawks allowed their first goal of the year. Tylor Spink started the play with a pass from below the goal line to Jeremy Price, who fired a shot from the blue line that was deflected. The slow moving puck went right Kyle Baun between the circles, where he turned around a Miami defender and fired a shot past Williams, who had slid out of position in attempt to stop the initial shot.
"After that first goal (allowed), there was no doubt and no one was down on themselves on the bench, which is huge," Wideman said. "Everyone was calm and everything was going to be alright. We just had to do the process right. In the process we are going to get some shots on net, go to the net, screen the goalie and you're going to get goals. We did that and got the win."
The RedHawks did not trail for long, however, as junior Bryon Paulazzo scored his second goal in as many nights less than five minutes later on the power play. Wideman sent a pass from the point to Murphy in the circle to Colgate goaltender Eric Mihalik's right, where he quickly centered to Paulazzo, who was camped between the circles and banged the puck by Mihalik to even the contest at 1-1.
Freshman Kevin Morris gave Miami its first lead of the night, 2-1, 2:52 into the second stanza with his first career goal. Junior Max Cook went to work behind the net and was able to break free for a quick shot at the near post from Mihalik's right. The netminder made the save but the rebound went right to Morris, who buried the puck in the open net on the opposite side. Senior Steve Mason picked up the second helper.
Miami continued to control the second period, but was unable to add to its lead despite outshooting the Raiders, 16-6, in the middle 20 minutes. Colgate had a few chances on its lone power play opportunity of the period but Williams made multiple key saves with heavy traffic in front of the crease to keep the 'Hawks on top.
With 13:22 remaining in the final frame, Miami doubled its advantage off the stick of Wideman. Coleman went hard to the net with the puck before having it poked away to Murphy in the corner to Mihalik's left. Murphy centered to a cutting Wideman between the circles, where he beat Mihalik above his left shoulder with a hard wrister for his first goal of the year.
Colgate nearly got one back less than a minute later as the puck was loose in the crease and the Raiders had an open net, point-blank but Williams swung his arm behind him on the ice to prevent the puck from crossing the line with a highlight-reel save.
With 4:26 remaining in the game, the Raiders' Tyson Spink was disqualified for an elbow to the head of senior Marc Hagel, giving Miami a power play for the remainder of the game. The RedHawks took advantage with two power play goals in the final three minutes.
Freshman Riley Barber scored the first one for his first career goal, cleaning up a rebound off a wrap-around from sophomore Jimmy Mullin right in front of the net to make it 4-1. Just over a minute later with only 1:13 to play, Coleman recorded his third goal of the year with a sharp-angle shot from the left circle to complete the 5-1 victory. Freshman Chris Joyaux earned an assist on the goal, his first career point, while Murphy picked up his third assist of the night on the goal.
Miami finished with a 32-21 shot advantage, as Mihalik totaled 27 saves in defeat for the Raiders. The RedHawks went 3-for-6 on the power play while going a perfect 5-for-5 on the penalty kill. Miami was a combined 13-for-13 on the penalty kill against Colgate on the weekend.
"It's huge," Blasi said of the opening weekend sweep. "It gives us so much more confidence going into this week's preparation. It gives us an idea of what we need to do. Besides that, we got a couple wins and those are huge. You never know how big those are going to be at the end of the year."
The RedHawks continue their season-opening home stand next weekend, hosting Hockey East foe Providence Oct. 19-20 at Steve Cady Arena. Puck drop Friday is at 7:35 p.m. while Saturday's contest is at 7:05 p.m.
