Knight Tallies Twice as Men's Soccer Picks Up 3-2 Road Win at Mount Olive
September 22, 2009
Story Courtesy of Mount Olive Sports Information
MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. Matt Cargile and Scott Mitchell scored goals in the final 21 minutes, but Mount Olives rally came up short as the regionally 10th-ranked Trojans fell to Pfeiffer 3-2 in Conference Carolinas mens soccer Tuesday at Amon Field. The loss was the Trojans first at home this season.
Kash Knight scored Pfeiffers first two goals, while Luke Vernon had two assists.
Mount Olive (4-3-0 overall, 1-2-0 Conference Carolinas) was down 3-0 when Frank Boateng played a long service from midfield to lead Cargile past the Pfeiffer defense. Cargile shot from the top right of the box to pull the Trojans within 3-1 at the 69:03 mark.
The Trojans mounted a furious attack late in the match as Murilo Pelegrino fired a shot from the top of the box. Pfeiffer goalkeeper Alex Moreno deflected Pelegrinos shot, but Mitchell put home the rebound to make it a one-goal game with 11.7 seconds left. Mount Olive had possession deep in the Pfeiffer half when time expired.
Pfeiffer (4-3-0, 2-1-0) broke a scoreless tie midway through the first half when Renato Barbosa played a long service to Knight. Knight dribbled and scored from 15 yards out to give the Falcons a 1-0 lead at the 23:18 mark. Pfeiffer outshot Mount Olive 9-3 in the first half, but Trojan goalkeeper Zac Scott recorded four of his six saves in the first half to keep it a one-goal game at the half.
Knight scored on a breakaway goal at 56:20 to extend Pfeiffers lead to 2-0. Alex Landim converted a breakaway at 67:07 as Scott had to come off his line and Landim scored into an open net. Vernon assisted on both second half goals.
Mount Olive would answer with a goal less than two minutes later, but the Trojans rally came up short.
Prior to Tuesdays match, Mount Olive had held five of its first six opponents to a single goal and had not allowed more than two goals in a match.
The Trojans outshot Pfeiffer 7-6 in the second half. Moreno finished with three saves for Pfeiffer.
Mount Olive kicks off a three-match road trip Friday as the Trojans travel to Salisbury, N.C., to take on Catawba in non-conference action. Match time is 7 p.m. Pfeiffer plays host to nationally 11th-ranked Anderson Saturday at 2 p.m. in a Conference Carolinas match-up.

Health Disparities in Cancer
CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC) monitors trends in cancer incidence and mortality, and identifies which populations are disproportionately affected by the disease.
Causes of Death Among American Indians and Alaska Natives
New data show death rates are 50% higher among AI/AN people than whites.
Breast Cancer Disparities
Black women have the highest death rates of all racial and ethnic groups. The reasons for this difference result from many factors.
AMIGAS is a bilingual educational intervention designed to help increase cervical cancer screening among Hispanics.
Contributing Factors
Socioeconomic status, access to health care, behaviors, and exposure to carcinogens contribute to health disparities.
Access to Health Care Podcast
About 50 million American adults had no health care insurance for at least some of the last year, and many did not get needed medical care because of cost.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Very helpful
These holders are really a must have for the magnets, otherwise the magnet will just slide around inside the envelope. They really should be included in the set or you should have the option of getting a smaller envelope for the magnets instead of the holders. Regardless, definitely worth the extra money. Personally, if I could change anything it would be the color I picked. The sample shows the holder in the secondary color on the magnet, so I did the same. But now I have a lot of green and only a little pink when pink is my primary color and green is my secondary. Oh well. Great product though!
Very Nice Quality!
These magnet holders really compliment the magnets well. They match perfectly! I love that I was able to write a personalized message on the back of them as well! The paper quality is very nice. I will definitely be ordering the matching invitations soon. I would without a doubt recommend the Save the Dates and the matching holders. Magnetstreet is a great company to do business with!
Worth it to add the carrier card!
Adding a carrier card adds cost to your order, but the quality and the look/fit of the card with the magnet is really worth it. You receive a bigger envelope because you are placing your magnet into the card and the presentation is fantastic! I highly recommend spending a little extra money and going with the carrier card!
Loved this addition to the magnet
Love this, as we did not want a lot of info on the magnet itself gave another place to post information. Additionally makes the magnet fit perfect in the envelop and adds a level of class to the whole presentation.
Loved them!
I changed the colors to match my wedding colors. There was plenty of room to include all of the hotel information for my guests. The paper quality was great! They looked expensive even though they were not at all Everyone is giving me compliments on the save the date package!

Travis McKie scored 19 points as the Demon Deacons (6-5), playing in their final game of 2012, won a true road game for the first time this season in their second attempt.
"We're going into the break with a positive result, not only the win but the way we played,"
Chase Fischer scored 10 of his 13 points in the second half off the bench for the Demon Deacons, who shot 57.7 percent from the field in the second half. Freshman forward Devin Thomas scored a season-best 12 points.
"We executed, came out and got the job done," said
Trevis Simpson led the Spartans (2-8) with 25 points. Derrell Armstrong added 16 points. UNCG reserve Kayel Locke scored all 10 of his points in the first eight minutes of the second half.
UNCG didn't have a first-half offensive rebound.
"I'm not sure our aggressiveness was where it needed to be for a game of this magnitude," UNCG coach Wes Miller said.
The Demon Deacons went on a 10-0 run for a 36-27 edge late in the first half.
"That gave us some separation and really helped," Bzdelik said.
"We'd make a good play," Miller said. "They'd make a great play, a better one right back at us."

Good points made on NDP
Hi SandeeC, You made a great post today on the news article "Industries try to stop higher-ethanol fuel". E-10 reduces production of poisonous carbon monoxide, but we need to keep E-15 and higher concentrations of ethanol out of our fuel systems. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
Hi, that was a great post that you made on today's news item: "Iran could begin feeling a further squeeze on its oil income soon." You also have a very cool avatar picture here. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
>It's Obama's way or the highway!< LOL stupid Canadians! It's Bush's way or the highway! Congress passed the law requiring the use of ethanol, Bush signed it, and Congress so far doesn't want to change the law!
Loved your take on winter driving in T town :-)
Reminds me of all the dumb A** drivers on this side of the pond.
Hi, you made a great post today on the news topic "Malloy energy plan pits natural gas against oil". We need to use more abundant, cheap and ultra clean North American natural gas to replace all oil based energy sources that we can. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
Because many of those idiot citizens voted based entirely on race/ethnicity (blacks and Hispanics). When that happens of course you're going to get an idiot in the WH. Sadly we have a bald faced lying, murdering bastard of an idiot in the WH.

A battle over the children is brewing between Tiger Woods and his wife.
The struggling couple has been leading separate lives and attempts to repair the marriage are not going well. As RadarOnline.com reported exclusively, Elin was visited last week by a divorce lawyer she hired.
A big issue that now looms between Tiger and Elin is their children and they are already at odds. Elin plans to spend more time in her native Sweden and of course expects the children to be with her.
But Tiger does not want to go long periods without seeing his children – regardless of the status of his marriage.
PHOTOS: Sexy Pics of All of Tiger's Women
"There's conflict between Tiger and Elin," a source told RadarOnline.com. "And Elin doesn't just give in and do what Tiger wants. She's become very independent."
That independence has led to Elin taking three trips without Tiger in recent weeks, with a four trip soon to follow.
EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: First Pictures Of Tiger Woods In Sex Rehab
And Tiger and Elin have already started sharing custody. He took the children on vacation this week, with Elin flying to Arizona by herself. When Elin traveled to South Florida for the Sony tennis tournament, she took one child and left one home with Tiger.
But Elin is going to want to take the children to Sweden with her, the source tells RadarOnline.com. And that's where the custody battle will get heated.
PHOTOS: Tiger & Wife Through The Years
During his golf comeback press conference, Tiger expressed how much he missed his children while in rehab and lamented missing his son's first birthday. He seemed fiercely determined not to miss out of his children's lives.
"Whatever anyone thinks of Tiger, he loves his children," the source said. "You can't criticize him as a parent at all."
PHOTOS: Tiger At Masters – Without Elin
Custody, more than money, is likely to be the most discussed issue if a Tiger-Elin divorce occurs, RadarOnline.com learned.
"Things have changed between Tiger and Elin. She has shown a lot of independence," the source said. "She has gotten a lot tougher. But they both love their children."

Rescued Pups Land On L.I.
Dozens of dogs plucked from puppy mills may have new homes for the holidays after being taken to Long Island.
Some 50 Yorkshire terriers, Pomeranians and other purebred dogs arrived Friday at Republic Airport in Farmingdale. Animal-rescue workers say many had been taken from Utah puppy breeding operations. Some came from a Missouri shelter that didn't have room for them.
North Shore Animal League spokeswoman Devera Lynn says the dogs are undergoing medical evaluations and might be ready for adoption next week.
The animal-only airline Pet Airways flew the dogs for free.

A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that life expectancy rises in tough economic times, and declines when the economy is going strong.
The basic finding of the paper is that mortality rates tend to evolve in parallel to the economy," said lead study author Jose Tapia Granados, an assistant research scientist at University of Michigan Institute for Social Research. "When the economy goes up, mortality tends to go up. When the economy goes down, mortality rates tend to go down, too."
The study did not dig deeper as to why people lived longer, however several possible reasons have been given, including more disposable income means more money for food (overeating), cigarettes and alcohol. Some also think that increase in traffic accidents may play a factor. And, it is postulated, in times of economic prosperity people have more work to do and the stress levels are higher. Though in my experience during bad economic conditions there are less people to do the work so the ones that are left are overworked, I guess you could go either way with that.
Not surprisingly, the one type of death that increased in the Great Depression (which this study mainly focused on) was suicide, up 2%. but overall that has little impact on life expectancy. I was always under the impression that the increase in suicide was much higher during that time.
So its an interesting study, and certainly counter intuitive. It would be revealing for someone to pick up where this left off and help to answer the question 'why'. I'd also like to see some trends regarding this not just from a physical health perspective, but mental and emotional as well.
While no one would argue being broke and unemployed is a desirable state, the opposite assertion–that being rich and materially 'successful' is the key to happiness–is similarly untenable. You can't buy happiness as they say. There have been studies I've seen previously that clearly indicate people who are less affluent (though not in grinding poverty) tend to have a higher level of satisfaction, contentment and happiness than those who are classified as rich. One reason I came across was that the more people had, the more they desired. Its also interesting to note that poorer people were more philanthropically generous as well.
On a deeper level, all these physical states come and go (rich, poor, healthy, sick etc.), indeed a single individual might expect to experience all of them several times in their life. So regardless of someone's opinion about this study, the question is how do we effectively deal with all that life throws our way, how do we attain that happiness which we know instinctively we cant buy?
One might assert that the key to tranquility is a spiritual connection with the Divine which provides a rudder as we navigate through whatever material state we may find ourselves in…

Am I the only one who thinks that ME3 is just a bad third person shooter with (maybe) a good story and (some) RPG elements in it? Only played the demo and I didnt like it.

@Anon: It probably will be a bad first-person shooter again, like the first two incarnations. But the way I see it, you don't play the game for the mediocre gameplay. It's more a well-made interactive movie with some RPG elements.

You know what I find ironic about the timing of this release? It's almost as if EA/Bioware is competing with itself. How many people are going to "drop" SW:TOR for ME3? And they ARE in competition. They are more similar than they are opposed. SW:TOR is the most single-player focused MMO probably ever, and ME3 is the most multi-player friendly version of the game ever, pushing them both into a similar "gray area" between SPRPG and MMORPG. And they both are attractive to the same basic demographic, people who love Bioware games and their storyteling.
Me thinks it may get a little "quiet" in the galaxy far, far away for the next few weeks.

I was REALLY looking forward to a great RPG but 2 hours in and locked in an invisible arena with a mini boss I realise what I've actually got is a game that's hard to control for shooting and has boss battles.
Seriously, I didn't expect this shit in a RPG. It's about time developers really understood that yes, ok, shooting a few mobs is ok but not everyone wants boss battles in the middle of their lets-think-about-choices RPGs!
What a crock of shit.

Jason Mraz Biography & News
Jason Mraz Details
|Official site
|Singer Songwriter
About Jason Mraz
Jason Mraz to play all five NY Boroughs
Jason Mraz has released his latest album "Yes," to critical acclaim and solid sales figures. The project bowed on July 15, 2014, and is his first true acoustic album. It was recorded with the pop-rock all-girl band Raining Jane, who had previously co-written "A Beautiful Mess" for Mraz's 2008 album "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things."
Beyond a cover of the Boyz II Men song "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday," every song on "Yes!" was written by Mraz and Raining Jane. The lead single, "Love Someone," released on May 19, 2014, and Mraz recorded a separate acoustic version of the song for Time Magazine. A little more than a month later, he released "We Can Take the Long Way," a music video 'trilogy' for the first three songs on the album. It premiered on the USA Today website.
Mraz is now out on the road to promote "Yes!" and will do something pretty unique once the tour hits New York – he'll play shows in all five boroughs, something only two other mainstream artists have done before. The venues he'll stop at are the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts (Brooklyn), the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts (Bronx), the Colden Auditorium (Queens), St. George Theatre (Staten Island), and Radio City Music Hall in downtown Manhattan.
Mraz's North American tour runs all the way to November, wrapping in Chicago with back-to-back dates at the Chicago Theatre on Nov. 7th and 8th. He'll head overseas just a few days later, with two dates in Tokyo and another date in Osaka, Japan.
Jason Mraz - From Coffee House to Concert Headliner
Straight from the San Diego coffee house scene, Jason Mraz used a jolt of Joe to find worldwide critical and commercial success inside a five-year window. The singer-songwriter from Virginia tapped into a crowd in tune with the sounds of local roots musicians and ran with the support, his popularity soaring as high as his vocal range as he crisscrossed the country.
Moving from the Commonwealth known as Old Dominion into the madness of a bustling New York, the California music scene would eventually settle Mraz in more ways than one. Landing a weekly gig at local hot spot Java Joe's after heading out West, Mraz formed a duo with drummer Noel "Toca" Rivera and moved into the Los Angeles area to grab the attention of record labels. He had a deal in place by 2002 and released his debut album, "Waiting for My Rocket to Come," that same year.
On the heels of an international breakthrough following the release of his sophomore effort, "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)" in 2005, Mraz kicked down the door three years later. His third studio album, "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things," debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 was a commercial success around the world. It contained the single, "I'm Yours," which sat on the Hot 100 for 76 weeks, besting the previous record of 69 weeks held by Lee Ann Rimes for "How Do I Live."
Mraz's fourth album, "Love is a Four Letter Word," was released on April 13, 2012. Though it received generally favorable reviews, it was panned by one critic who attacked Mraz for his, "relentlessly upbeat and happy romanticism. The review went on to state that outlook was, "annoying for even the least cynical."
A tour in support of the album returns stateside in December, with Mraz expected to play Z100's Jingle Ball Jam at Madison Square Garden on Friday, December 7. He'll headline the iconic venue on his own four nights later.

The state champion Arlington softball team is The Herald's Team of the Year

Genna Martin / The Herald
Arlington softball assistant coach Rachel Koenig-Eng instructs pitcher Hayley Fields on her release as catcher Lynsey Amundson looks on during practice on Thursday at Arlington High School. The team's first season game is on Friday, March 15.
For high school softball teams this spring, looking over and seeing the Eagles in the dugout across from you was a sign that the next seven innings were going to be rough.
The Eagles shot out to a 7-2 record to start the season. Then Arlington got star pitcher Ronnie Ladines back and the Eagles became even more difficult to beat.
Ladines, who missed the early part of the season with an injured finger, went 16-1 with an earned-run average of 0.17 as she helped stymie Arlington's opponents on its way to a 4A state championship. The Kent State-bound senior faced 317 batters and struck out 154 of them. She had 55 more strikeouts at the state tournament, where she didn't allow a single run until the championship game.
Meanwhile, the Eagles really hit their stride offensively. Arlington outscored its opponents 24-1 at the state tournament.
In just half a season Ladines batted .552 with 10 home runs and a slugging percentage of 1.259. She had a 16-game hitting streak and despite missing the first month of the season still put together a season impressive enough to be named The Herald's Softball Player of the Year.
The dangerous Arlington team was bolstered by Ladines, but was still a force before she was able to return. Senior Hayley Fields stepped up on the mound, going 10-2 for the Eagles and also batting .522 with a 19-game hitting streak over the course of the season.
Arlington's last loss of the season came on April 26 against Cascade. The Eagles won 11 straight games to close out their season with a state championship.
And it should be pointed out that Arlington didn't just beat teams, it beat teams with authority. The Eagles had 11 games in which they outscored their opponents by 10 runs or more, including Arlington's first game at the state tournament in Spokane against Todd Beamer.
Hayden Fields, Hayley's sister, drove in six of the Eagles' 12 runs in that game, including what Arlington head coach Dan Eng called "two monster home runs," as Arlington gave a glimpse of what was to come in the state tournament with a 12-0 win.
Dominant, almost doesn't feel like a strong enough word.

OutOfMemory Errors
Well, the most obvious cause of this is memory leaks in your application But, if you've thoroughly investigated using tools like jconsole, yourkit, jprofiler or any of the other profiling and analysis tools out there and you can eliminate your code as the source of the problem, read on.
JVM bugs
Garbage Collection Problems
One symptom of a cluster of jvm related memory issues is the OOM exception accompanied by a message such as
"java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested xxxx bytes for xxx. Out of swap space?".
Sun bug number 4697804 describes how this can happen in the scenario when the garbage collector needs to allocate a bit more space during its run and tries to resize the heap but fails because the machine is out of swap space. One suggested work around is to ensure that the jvm never tries to resize the heap, by setting min heap size to max heap size:
Another workaround is to ensure you have configured sufficient swap space on your device to accommodate all programs you are running concurrently.
Direct ByteBuffers
Another issue related to jvm bugs is the exhaustion of native memory. The symptoms to look out for are the process size growing, but the heap usage remaining relatively constant. Native memory can be consumed by a number of things, the JIT compiler being one, and nio ByteBuffers being another. Sun bug number 6210541 discusses a still-unsolved problem whereby the jvm itself allocates a direct ByteBuffer in some circumstances that is never garbage collected, effectively eating native memory. Guy Korland's blog discusses this problem here and here. As the JIT compiler is one consumer of native memory, the lack of available memory may manifest itself in the JIT as OutOfMemory exceptions such as
"Exception in thread "CompilerThread0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested xxx bytes for ChunkPool::allocate. Out of swap space?"
By default, Jetty will allocate and manage its own pool of direct ByteBuffers for io if the nio SelectChannelConnector is configured. It also allocates MappedByteBuffers to memory-map static files via the DefaultServlet settings. However, you could be vulnerable to this jvm ByteBuffer allocation problem if you have disabled either of these options. For example, if you're on Windows, you may have disabled the use of memory-mapped buffers for the static file cache on the DefaultServlet to avoid the file-locking problem.
JSP bugs
Permgen problems
The JSP engine in Jetty is Jasper. This was originally developed under the Apache Tomcat project, but over time has been forked by many different projects. All jetty versions up to 6 used Apache-based Jasper exclusively, with Jetty 6 using Apache Jasper only for JSP2.0. With the advent of JSP 2.1, Jetty 6 switched to using Jasper from Sun's Glassfish project, which is now the reference implementation.
All forks of Jasper suffer from a problem whereby the permgen space can be put under pressure by using jsp tag files. This is because of the classloading architecture of the jsp implementation. Each jsp file is effectively compiled and its class loaded in its own classloader so as to allow for hot replacement. Each jsp that contains references to a tag file will compile the tag if necessary and then load it using its own classloader. If you have many jsps that refer to the same tag file, then the tag's class will be loaded over and over again into permgen space, once for each jsp. The relevant Glassfish bug report is bug # 3963, and the equivalent Apache Tomcat bug report is bug # 43878. The Apache Tomcat project has already closed this bug report with status WON'T FIX, however the Glassfish folks still have the bug report open and have scheduled it to be fixed. When the fix becomes available, the Jetty project will pick it up and incorporate into our release program.

Black Hawk Tennis Center
The Black Hawk Tennis Club has many convenient facilities, including six indoor tennis courts, an exercise room, a pro shop, locker rooms, and six outdoor tennis courts, including a deck with multilevel viewing areas. John Delorbe, owner of BHTC since 1989, says the Club has great viewing areas both at the inside and outside courts.
The Club also hosts many special activities, such as clinics and lessons, Ladies and Mens Leagues, Junior Development Programs, Mixed Doubles Tournaments and Club meets. The Black Hawk Tennis Club was built in 1970.
This is the sixth year that the University of Northern Iowa tennis team has competed on the BHTCs courts. Its a great way to bring the community into the spirit of UNIs tennis action.

GARETH DUNCAN brought you live commentary from the Rugby Championship Test in Dunedin..
80 mins: ALL BLACKS PENALTY! Cruden denies the Boks a losing bonus point with the scoring act of the match. The ball sails over the crossbar and the final whistle blows. ALL BLACKS WIN 21-11!
79 mins: Cruden has a late shot at goal, but hits the post. And a rushing McCaw gets the ball and creates some late drama. But the Boks restrict the New Zealanders, but illegally so and the All Blacks have a late penalty.
78 mins: Boks find themselves in All Blacks' danger zone, but they're errant and can't capitalise. New Zealand escape thanks to a big Dagg clearance. The fullback shows his big boot
73 mins: ALL BLACKS PENALTY! Cruden converts another penalty soon after Goosen's three-pointer. All Blacks in a very, very comfortable position now. ALL BLACKS LEAD 18-11!
70 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Goosen lands his second kick at goal, from the right touchline. Wonderful attempt. ALL BLACKS LEAD 15-11!
67 mins: Replacement flyhalf Johan Goosen gets his first chance at goal – from 55m out! Gets some good distance, but falls short. Good try from the young Bok.
65 mins: All Blacks get a penalty in a kickable position, but Cruden misses this time.
63 mins: BIG BLOW! Greyling costs the Boks a man as he gets a yellow card for foul play on Richie McCaw. All Blacks against 14-man South Africa.
60 mins: ALL BLACKS TRY! Brilliant stuff from replacement scrumhalf Aaron Smith. The ball spills out of the breakdown, but he picks it up and has dart. He beats three defenders as he dives over for a telling score. Cruden adds the extras. ALL BLACKS LEAD 15-8!
57 mins: Poor kicks from Pienaar and Morne Steyn costing Boks the ascendancy. Morne Steyn tries to find some space behind the All Blacks line, but Dagg punishes the Bok 10 with a big clearance.
50 mins: ALL BLACKS PENALTY! Replacement prop Dean Greyling gives away a silly penalty at the breakdown, and Cruden punishes the Boks. THE SCORES ARE LEVEL AT 8-8!
48 mins: SPRINGBOK TRY! Individual brilliance from Habana. The speedster breaks the line, and chips ahead before chasing it down to score. What a try. Morne Steyn doesn't convert. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 8-3!
42 mins: Boks gaining good metres, and hit All Blacks hard on attack. But Habana loses the ball in the tackle, and it's another butchered opportunity in the opening minutes of a half.
41 mins: Springboks get a deep kick-off to start the game. All Blacks kick a poor clearance in return. Good attacking position for the tourists early on.
40 mins: All Blacks prop Tony Woodcock concedes a late penalty at the lineout, taking out a jumper in the air. Morne Steyn gets the final chance to score points before the break. But he misses … again!
36 mins: Lucky let-off for Habana, as he makes a hash of fielding an up-and-under. He clearly touches the ball as the kick goes out on the full. But the assistant referee misses it, and takes the play back 30m and gives the Boks possession.
32 mins: ANOTHER MISSED PENALTY! From five penalty attempts, the Boks have now missed four. Morne Steyn pulls his third shot at goal – and it wasn't a difficult one.
30 mins: Boks win a penalty 58m out from goal, and Frans Steyns argues he can do it. He gets a good strike, but it falls inches short from the crossbar.
28 mins: Boks do well to put themselves in good attacking positions, but their backline play has been so uninspiring.
26 mins: Boks defend the All Blacks rolling maul well, and force the tunrover. Kruger does well coming through the middle and wins the visitors a scrum, relieving the pressure.
24 mins: BIG HIT! Read welcomes Vermeulen to New Zealand with a big, big tackle. And the All Blacks win a penalty at the breakdown.
22 mins: Springboks are doing well in contest at the breakdown on defence. No 8 Duane Vermeulen does the job on this occasion, and Morne Steyn gets his second chance at the posts. But he misses as he slices the goal attempt, which fades to the left.
19 mins: ALL BLACKS TRY! Offloads galore, punching holes in the Bok defence. Lock Sam Whitelock's offload to No 8 Kieran Read puts the hardman into space and he sucks in two defenders. And during the tackle, he offloads to fullback Israel Dagg, who has a clear run to the whitewash. Cruden misses the conversion. ALL BLACKS LEAD 5-3
17 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Morne Steyn finds the target from his first attempt. the Boks are finally ahead. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 3-0!
16 mins: Bok pack doing good work with some strong and effective ball carries. They milk a penalty against the All Blacks defence, and flyhalf Morne Steyn will get a shot at goal.
14 mins: The All Blacks find good field position from the resulting touch finder, but knock the ball forward at the lineout. Then they concede a penalty at the following scrum. The Boks are dominating the set-pieces.
12 mins: Frans Steyn carries the ball against Cruden, but the New Zealand No 10 does well to take down the big man. All Blacks contest well, and the Bok support concede a penalty at the breakdown.
9 mins: Habana wins a penalty in a kickable, but difficult position. Inside centre Francois Steyn steps up for his first shot at goal, from about 48m out. He strikes … but it's wide.
7 mins: The Boks are enjoying most of the possession and playing the game in the All Blacks' half, but not making much of this early ascendancy.
4 mins: MISSED CHANCE!!! Wing Francois Hougaard puts the boot to a loose ball and finds space behind the All Blacks line. Possession is recovered and the Boks are 5m out. After a couple of drives, the ball is spread wide but fullback Zane Kirchner's pass to wing Bryan Habana is spilled, and the hosts escape. The Boks butcher a clear try-scoring opportunity.
KICK-OFF: All Blacks flyhalf Aaron Cruden starts the game with a high kick-off. And it's a good start as lock Juandre Kruger takes it in neatly. Scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar clears to the halfway line.

NAMI Advocate e-newsletter, December 2006
Dear Friend of NAMI,
Happy Holidays! In this final issue of the NAMI Advocate e-newsletter for the year, we take a look back at how the NAMI movement has been on the move in 2006. We also list the best books and movies of 2006, provide tips on coping with schizophrenia, report on a new National Anti-Stigma Campaign, remember Bebe Moore Campbell, and more.
NAMI & You Made a Difference in 2006
It was through the dedicated financial support of friends like you that NAMI was able to make significant accomplishments on behalf of people with serious mental illness in 2006, and for that we say thank you.
Here are just a few highlights of what people like you made possible:
• NAMI Grades the States
In March, NAMI released the first comprehensive state-by-state report on the state of America's mental healthcare system for serious mental illness. The U.S. earned a "D" overall for its mental health care system, but the report also found examples of innovative programs in virtually every state. More than anything, this report illustrated the tragic gap between what could be and what is. Learn more....
• NAMI leads the way in Stigma Busting
A front-page story in the The Chicago Tribune brought national attention to NAMI StigmaBuster protests of Halloween stigma in Illinois, Ohio, and Tennessee. Coverage then expanded to CBS Radio, MSNBC.com and other media. Also complaints to ABC-TV and the FOX-TV by StigmaBusters are believed to have contributed to network decisions to cancel the heavily stigmatizing comedy Crumbs and the reality show Unanimous. Learn more....
• NAMI educates and supports thousands
NAMI's family and consumer peer education programs continued to reach a large and growing audience in 2006. Family-to-Family counted 13,000 graduates this year alone; the Peer-to-Peer Recovery Course has graduated 3,500 consumer participants to date; In Our Own Voice is reaching a yearly audience of 12,000, and the Provide Education Program is conducting 50-60 classes per year to over 1,500 providers working in the mental health system. Learn more....
• NAMI convenes its first Multicultural Strategic Summit
Several organizations and more than 300 advocates participated in this Summit during NAMI's 2006 Annual Convention and helped draft a national action plan to eliminate disparities in mental health for racial/ethnic communities. Learn more....
• NAMIWALKS across America
Over 55,000 people walked this year in 59 sites around the country to raise awareness and funds through the NAMIWALKS program. Over $5.5 million was given by individuals and the business community, to benefit 200 NAMI affiliates. Lace up those walking shoes and get ready to join us in even more cities in 2007. Learn more....
• NAMI grows NAMI FaithNet
NAMI expanded its support for the faith community in 2006 by assuming responsibility for the NAMI FaithNet Web site and e-mail newsletter. Learn more....
• NAMI.org celebrates 10 years
NAMI launched its first site in 1996, when the Web was still in its infancy. Today at NAMI, the Web is important not only as a way to provide information and support but also as a way for the thousands who visit each day to take action and make a difference in the lives of people affected by serious mental illness.
If you have never made a financial contribution in support of NAMI's work, or have not done so this year, we hope that you will take the opportunity to do so now. 2007 will provide many more opportunities for NAMI to continue to lead the way in support, education, and advocacy. But we cannot do it without your help. Make a donation today!
Best Books and Movies of 2006
The end of the year typically signals the announcement of many annual "best" and "worst" lists. So in that spirit, we have compiled our second annual "best of" list of some of the best books and movies of 2006.
This year's list includes a novel, a comic strip, a true crime story, a movie starring two Oscar winners, and more. Indeed, 2006 provided an array of positive portrayals of the issues related to mental illness. Read more...
National Anti-Stigma Campaign Launched
On Monday, December 4, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and the Ad Council launched the National Anti Stigma Campaign, releasing a national survey of public attitudes on stigma and unveiling free multimedia public service announcements (PSAs).
For the first time in history, the authority of the federal government is being put behind a sustained national PSA campaign to reduce stigma and encourage support of people with mental illnesses. It is also the first time that the tremendous leverage of the Ad Council--the folks who created Smokey the Bear--is being made available to the entire mental health community. These PSAs are specifically targeted to 18-25 year olds.
Download the PSAs and other resources at: www.whatadifference.org.
Coping with Schizophrenia: Don't Compare Yourself to Others
NAMI partners with HealthCentral.com to bring you relevant information from their Web site. The following is a blog entry by Robin Cunningham from HeathCentral.com's schizophrenia site.
Individuals with schizophrenia respond differently to various medications available for the treatment of this brain disease. And they may respond differently to the same medications at different points during their illness. No medication works for all patients and at all times, i.e. there is no "silver bullet."
Coping mechanisms are much the same. The coping mechanisms I will share with you in this and future blogs will be those that have had the greatest impact on my quality of life over the long term. Read more...
Depression Is Real
Frustrated and concerned by popular misconceptions that trivialize depression as "just the blues" or dismiss it entirely as an "imaginary disease," seven prominent physician, patient and civic nonprofit organizations have joined together to launch a public education campaign to tell Americans the truth about depression. Read more...
Hotsoup.com Gives Advocates New Place to Dig In
Do you want to spread the word about mental health? Do you like to educate others about mental illness? Do you enjoy spirited debates about hot topics? If so, NAMI has the place for you. Pull up a chair and dig into Hotsoup.com. Read more...
In Memoriam: Thank You, Bebe Moore Campbell
NAMI mourns the passing of Bebe Moore Campbell, the best-selling author who shared great insight and compassion in writing about individuals and families confronting social issues, including mental illness.
She has been considered one of the most important African American novelists of the 20th century for works such as Brothers and Sisters (1994) and What You Owe Me (2001). But she also was more. For NAMI, she truly has been part of the family.
Bebe was trained as a teacher in NAMI's Family-to-Family education program, as a member of our NAMI Urban Los Angeles affiliate. She attended NAMI conventions and conferences. She was a national spokesperson for us, speaking out against the stigma that often surrounds mental illness, and promoting treatment and family education.
Because of her commitment, NAMI's name and voice was heard in countless newspaper, radio and television interviews, touching millions of Americans.
In 2003, Bebe received NAMI's Outstanding Media Award for Literature for the book Sometimes My Mommy Gets Angry, written especially for children, about a young girl who learns how to cope with her mother's bipolar illness. In 2005, her novel 72-Hour Hold focused on an adult daughter and a family's experience with the onset of mental illness. It helped educate Americans that the struggle often is not just with the illness, but with the healthcare system as well.
Bebe spoke from experience. She spoke from the heart. She spoke for NAMI. We are grateful for all that she shared.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Perfect for Christmas!
I used these cards for Christmas instead of New Years. Very easy to change things around. I used a photo of kittens that I'm fostering and the team at MagnetStreet helped me adjust the photo perfectly. The paper and printing are beautiful.
Best card yet...
Our family has been sending photo cards for over 20 years and this year my husband remarked, "this is the best card yet!" The paper quality is amazing and the ability to use both sides of the card is genius! I love that you can change the fonts and colors... but we liked the template so much that we kept those design elements the same! My favorite part though, is that the photo takes up the entire front of the card. Friends and family really like to see that photo... it's why we send these cards - right? Thank you magnetStreet!
Perfect Christmas card!
My husband and I just received our Christmas card order in the mail and absolutely LOVE them! The paper it was printed on is excellent and the design was fun and easy to work with. It's a great quality for the price! We will definitely order again.
Great Service
I've used Magnet Street initially for my save the date magnets for my wedding and haven't stopped since with my wedding invitations, birth announcements, and now Christmas cards and I'll never use anything else. No other sites compares with the quality, price, individual attention they give, accuracy of order, and quickness with getting everything delivered on time or before. I always get compliments on everything I send out.

SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED Speedhunters Pack Available Now!
May 17, 2011
It's a big day because the SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED Speedhunters Pack is available for download now! I just logged on to Xbox LIVE to check and it is indeed there...ready to download. The Speedhunters Pack will be available on the PlayStation Network as soon as it comes back up.
Featured in the Speedhunters Pack are two new game modes; Drag and Standing Mile. Also included in the pack are 14 new cars, two of which are cars awarded to you when you beat the Drag or Standing Mile rivals, and two new career branches with nine new events to encourage some friendly Autolog competition with your friends.
One thing to note about the new modes; players will only be able to use the manual gear change so that they can really feel what it's like to be in the driver's seat. This means the traction control will be forced off and the HUD will display a new rev counter and gear indicator.
One other thing...you should keep your eye on the Need for Speed Twitter feed over the next couple days because we may just be giving away codes that will give you the Speedhunters Pack for free!

This is related to the (closed) question New job - not got any work to do.
I'm a week and a half into a brand new job and despite asking for work to do I keep being brushed off. The set-up here is just an aggregate of of services, which are then provided to the outside world, so any bugs that do occur are usuaully with the service provider so as far as I can tell there's very little to do.
In my first week a contractor actually quit (after a month of just sitting there) and a co-worker (6 weeks in) was discussing leaving, am I destined to go the same way?
I moved cities for this job, and would hate to think of the impact on my cv of a short stint at a big company - may look like I can't 'hack' it to future employers?

- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Some people are obsessed with coffee... (Score:5, Interesting)
We grew up drinking coffee as a social drink: when visitors come you serve them coffee and it was also used when the family gathered to chat or chill.
You drink coffee slowly while sitting down.
Now, I only have one cup of coffee a day, which is usually when I first wake up and it literally takes me a good 20 minutes to finish it. This quietness helps me think through the day and also go through my junk mail (paper ones). It's a relaxing ritual.
I don't understand people who are so addicted to it that they would drink coffee while walking or catching the train. What's the point?

Caffeine lightweight (Score:4, Interesting)by Anonymous Coward on Thursday February 14, 2013 @06:08AM (#42893797)
I'm English. I grew up in a family of tea-swillers who will routinely work through several pints of the stuff every day, with some coffees on top. My in-laws are much the same. In fact everybody I know seems to consume huge amounts of caffeine, all day every day. It's endemic. I have no idea what the average caffeine intake is around here, but it has to be pretty high. If they were drinking beer at that frequency, everybody would be walking around constantly half drunk.
I don't drink tea (except when I'm ill) and I can't stand coffee. I will very occasionally drink cola/ lemonade / similar if I'm at the pub and not drinking beer, or as a mixer. I will eat a small amount of chocolate a few times a week. Most people tell me I'm one of the most laid-back people they know.
In my younger days, I went out drinking and spent an entire night consuming red bull + vodka. I got to bed at 3 or 4 in the morning, feeling pretty good. Went straight to sleep.. Being used to alcohol, my body processed off the vodka quite quickly. However the caffeine affected me a lot more profoundly. By seven in the morning I was up, cooking dinner and vacuming. By eight I was watching Dr Who with my face 8 inches from the screen and twitching uncontrollably.
Not really sure what I'm saying, or what point I'm trying to make. I do think the world would be a better place if people consumed less caffeine.

I drink two 20 oz cups of green tea most days at work. It's low in caffeine so I don't get too bad withdrawals (which are almost always day-long migraines) from it, and good quality green tea tastes nice enough by itself I don't need to add sweeteners to it.
Otherwise, a couple of times a year I like a nice, thick, rich and super sweet coffee drink, about half milk half water...

Actually I intentionally don't drink coffee, don't want to get sucked in and addicted to it and I stopped drinking soda 2.5 years ago to be healthier.
I've bailed on Coffee again. I find too much caffeine makes me edgy and irritable. A light dose from Green Tea is sufficient for most work days. So I have Green Tea with Coconut or Green Tea with Apricot, saving Genmaicha for special days when I want something with a richer taste.
I had a major caffeine dependency in the mid 1990's, going through a pound of Kona in about a week to a week and a half. The stuff I drank was like tar and what I didn't have during breakfast went into a large travel mug with me to work, which I'd sip throughout the day. I was working 14-16 hour days and ruining my physical and mental health, with caffeine as the enabling agent. When I finally wrapped up the projects which were at the core of my labors I took a long weekend, without coffee and realized what I had sunk to and was allowing to happen to myself to meet other people's goals. I started looking for a new place to work, where I could put in 8 hours, get some sun and exercise, enjoy a bit of life and not spend Saturdays going through detox, only to restart the cycle on Monday mornings.
For my tastes Starbucks makes their coffee far to strong. A medium cup will usually last me 2 days. When I make my own coffee it's fairly thin as the first hit of caffeine has the greatest impact, with a declining rate of return on successive sips. Loading the body up with caffeine at some point has no other effect then to channel body energies into overriding it - which creates the physical wreck I once was.

GSA to phase out apps.gov portal
Friday - 11/30/2012, 4:12pm EST
The General Services Administration is phasing out the Apps.gov portal.
GSA spokeswoman Jackie Stewart confirmed the decision today as part of the agency's efforts to streamline delivery of its services.
"All of the services listed on Apps.gov will still be available on GSA Advantage at www.gsaadvantage.gov, and agencies can access free social media applications at www.howto.gov," Stewart said in an email to Federal News Radio. "Simplifying these customer-facing websites is a testament to GSA's commitment to being responsive to our customers and to promoting effective and efficient government."
The Office of Management and Budget tasked GSA to develop a cloud computing storefront and apps store. GSA launched it in September 2009 with great fanfare.
Vivek Kundra, then the federal chief information officer, said the goal of the apps storefront was to make it easier for agencies to adopt cloud services and mobile applications.
"One big barrier has been the process to acquire cloud computing," Kundra said at the time. "We want to streamline the process, move toward central certification so industry doesn't have to get certified from every agency to offer their solutions. We also want to make sure we are focused on business problems, and not just the technology itself."
But agencies didn't use the portal to buy apps.
Tom Suder, president of Mobilegov, said there was no clear market for the apps.
"For smaller purchases that could be used on a government credit card, there are plenty of commercial sites to buy commodity products," he said. "For larger 'product purchases' there are invariably many options available to the 'product' that are service-oriented," he said. "For example, no one is going to buy a Talent Acquisition Suite with a one-paragraph description for $599,985.97 and 'add it to their cart.' A better purpose for the apps.gov 'real estate' is to maybe repurpose it for an enterprise mobile store for GSA that could serve other agencies."
GSA reported in the fiscal 2011 Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies annual report that there were more than 3,000 cloud-based products and services. Apps.gov received about 3,800 web visits a month. Agencies have purchased more than $5 million in cloud computing services and products from the site.
Suder added GSA has implemented several successful projects over the last few years, including data.gov and apps.usa.gov.
"Not everything works and I give them kudos for pulling a project that didn't pan out despite best efforts," he said.
Dave McClure, GSA's associate administrator in the Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies, said in February GSA was applying some of the lessons learned from apps.gov to the online marketplace of cloud services it was planning on developing.
"There certainly contract thresholds or spending thresholds that determine whether someone can actually enter into the agreement, and those vary across the agencies and according to legal interpretation," he said at the time. "When we stood up apps.gov, nothing was put through an authority to operate or a FedRAMP process. It was simply an illustration of services available. We would have to determine whether those government providers have been 'FedRAMPed' and if they are providing low, moderate or high levels of security for other government customers."

In celebration of Halloween, here's my list of 13 scary things travelers are forced to endure.
1 The middle seat: No aisle. No window. No armrest of your own. Boarding in "Group 5"? You are doomed. Hell is 11 hours in an E seat in the economy section of a Boeing 777. It's the middle seat of a five-across section. You have two people on either side.
2 Resort fees: The extortion of paying $35 to $50 for a bunch of stuff that either you don't want (free yoga lessons at 8 a.m.) or should be included in the price (bottled water, Wi-Fi).
3 Removing belt and shoes at security: Pants do fall down. Feet do stink. Yours and everybody else's.
4 Five stars!: Travelers who think TripAdvisor, Yelp and other "customer review" websites aren't gamed by hotels and restaurants probably also believe LaToya Jackson and Carrot Top came to look that way naturally.
5 Why all 14-year-olds hate their parents: Is there anything sadder than the kids dumped at the "teen club" at a resort?
6 Glad my son is a college chemistry major: Who knew so many hyphenated-name chemicals could be packed into the plastic-wrapped motel breakfast Danish the size and consistency of a flattened golf ball?
7 The flight attendant call button: You want the economy-class flight attendant to come help you? Ha ha ha ha. Shut up and eat your pretzels. It's the last time you'll see them.
8 Connecting flights: You're either tempting a heart attack by running for your next gate because your incoming flight was late or sitting against a pillar for four hours because the plane for your connecting flight is still somewhere in Ohio. As the old joke goes, when you die it doesn't matter if you are going to heaven or hell, you still have to change planes in Atlanta.
9 Stay! Sit! Sleep!: Checking into a "pet friendly" room that has carpets.
10 Airport prices: "A large pizza, two beers and two sodas – that will be $52.75."
11 Bad translation: Yes, we Americans are behind the rest of the world when it comes to learning the languages of the lands we visit. Guilty. But it's still grating to pay for a foreign tour guide who seems to have learned English from Mumbles on Dick Tracy or Boomhauer from "King of the Hill."
12 Jackhammers in paradise: Arriving to find your romantic resort has made no mention of the ongoing work at the hotel or nearby that will have jackhammers and bulldozers serenading you the entire week's stay. Compensation rarely involves a lower price – maybe a free luau, bottle of water or Wi-Fi on the house (see resort fee).
13 Electronic mini-bars: If you so much as touch that tiny $20 bottle of Grey Goose, it's yours!
No! no! no! no!

Columbus, OH (Sports Network) - Braxton Miller threw for 143 yards and ran for a pair of touchdowns, as No. 16 Ohio State defeated UAB, 29-15, on Saturday.
Miller completed 12-of-20 passes and rushed for 64 yards on 11 carries for the Buckeyes (4-0), who were coming off a narrow, 35-28 win over California.
Jordan Hall had 105 yards on 17 carries in Saturday's victory, while Rod Smith and Zach Boren both ran for a score. Corey Brown added 67 yards on four catches.
Austin Brown threw for 196 yards and an interception on 21-of-35 passing for the Blazers (0-3), who took on a ranked opponent for the second straight game after falling to then-No. 8 South Carolina, 49-6, last Saturday.
Darrin Reaves rushed for 72 yards on 16 carries in the setback and Ty Long made 3-of-4 field goal attempts.
The Blazers cut their deficit to 21-15 early in the fourth quarter when Long made a 34-yard field goal to cap a 16-play, 80-yard drive, which lasted more than seven minutes.
They moved into field goal range again after an Ohio State 3-and-out, several completions by Brown, and a 15-yard taunting penalty on Christian Bryant. But Long, who had made his previous 11 field goals, pulled his 46-yard attempt wide left.
"We played well, some things we didn't do well, like the 46-yard field goal I missed," said Long. "I knew what I did wrong right when I hit it. I take blame for that."
The Buckeyes capitalized on Long's rare miss with an 10-play touchdown march.
Miller hit three different receivers during the drive and ripped off a 17-yard run before reaching the end zone on a short keeper with 5:03 remaining. He then found the edge and stiff-armed his way to a two-point conversion for a 29-15 advantage.
Brown was intercepted by a leaping Doran Grant two plays into UAB's next drive as the Buckeyes held on to secure their fourth straight win.
Ohio State got off to a sluggish start, resulting in an early 9-0 deficit.
UAB fumbled away the football on its first possession, but the Buckeyes failed to capitalize and lined up to punt on 4th-and-2. Ben Buchanan never got the kick off, however, as Cortez Webb got a hand on the ball before Nick Adams scooped it up and scampered 20 yards for a touchdown.
Long missed the extra point, but he atoned with a 47-yard field goal early in the second quarter to make it 9-0.
"Basically, we came out slow today," said Brown. "It was obvious. We prepared well throughout the week and our main focus is to come out strong. I don't know what it was about today, but I know this week we'll get it fixed."
The Buckeyes notched their first third down conversion of the game on their next touch courtesy of a short burst by Smith, who followed with runs of 12 and one yard to cap the 75-yard touchdown march.
Long answered with a 54-yard field goal, but Ohio State closed the quarter with a pair of scores to take a 21-12 lead into the half.
Miller sparked the late flurry, which began with a five-play, 75-yard touchdown trek. The sophomore signal caller completed four straight passes on the drive, including consecutive connections with Brown of at least 20 yards, before eluding a defender and extending the ball into the end zone on a 12- yard draw.
Kennard Backman fumbled two plays into the Blazers' next possession and Grant recovered the ball at the UAB 32.
Miller then reeled off a 19-yard run and found Brown for 11 yards before Boren scored from two yards away.
The Blazers recovered an onside kick to open the second half but went 3-and- out, beginning a string of back-and-forth punts which highlighted a scoreless third quarter.

As a mom I worry about my children's health. It is so easy to keep them inside and safe from being hit by a flying baseball, or trampled over while playing sports. But I want them to be healthy so this means staying active for them. I have to let them as my parent would say "be boys." I realized that being boys for them is actually saving them from childhood obesity.
Childhood obesity is one of our biggest concerns in the United States. I for one blame it all on the wonderful technology that we have. Who wouldn't want to sit around all day and play video games, shop on the Internet, have your food delivered to your door. Why would any of us need to get up and get moving with all of these wonderful society has created for us. I will tell you why, because we need to stay healthy. Recently I've seen many people taking advantage of Garcinia Cambogia fruit extract to lose weight faster than diet and exercise alone. I think some people do actually need something extra that have been dealing with obesity for more than a decade.
If we lay around and never get out and moving, we just may as well be writing our own death sentence. Our bodies need exercise everyday. It is a given fact the more you exercise the better your body will feel. I actually have energy all day from just spending an hour a day exercising. If I by any chance have to miss a day of exercise, I feel guilty.
It should not be any different for young children, it is important to teach them that skipping out on exercise and being active through out the day is a bad thing. The more we incorporate this into our children, the more they will realize that exercising and staying fit is very important.
Most people don't even realize they are out of shape until they are asked to perform a once simple task, and they find out the task is not so simple anymore. Just remember staying active is the keep to good health.
