Dew Homers in Collegiate Debut; Lady Falcon Softball Swept in Season Opener at Carson-Newman
February 12, 2011
Story Courtesy of Carson-Newman Sports Information
JEFFERSON CITY, T.N. - The Carson-Newman College softball team swept visiting Pfeiffer Saturday afternoon, winning the first game 7-1 and claiming an 8-0 victory in game two in five innings at the Lady Eagles Softball Complex. The sweep moves the Lady Eagles to 4-2 on the season while Pfeiffer drops both of their season openers.
In the first game, junior pitcher Mary Shealy (Clinton, S.C.) grabbed her second win of the season for Carson-Newman in the circle. Shealy (2-1) threw a complete game, giving up four hits, one run and seven walks while recording six strikeouts.
C-N took the lead in the opening inning with an RBI from sophomore catcher Bri Shoemake (Ooltewah, Tenn.) that brought in senior left fielder Leah Price (Spring City, Tenn.)
Pfeiffer put their only dent in the scoreboard in the top of the third thanks to a solo home run over the left field wall from shortstop Celia Dew. It took the Lady Eagles two innings to answer back, but when they did they nearly put the game away.
A five-run fourth was sparked by a lead-off triple from freshman third baseman Sara Kelley (Birchwood, Tenn.). Freshman Dariayn Wright (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) was brought in to pinch run for Kelley. Junior first baseman Amy Lawrence (Knoxville, Tenn.) drew a walk from Pfeiffer starter Melanie Conklin (0-1).
A double steal from Lawrence and Wright put C-Ns first run on the board. With two outs on the board, second baseman Amber Hewitt (Ringgold, Ga.) sent a single up the middle of the field, scoring Lawrence. A single from Shoemake brought in Hewitt. A stand-up triple from senior third baseman Whitney Kee (Knoxville, Tenn.) helped Shoemake cross the plate. Junior right fielder Kim Whaleys RBI scored Kee finished the damage in the inning, giving Carson-Newman a 6-1 lead.
Junior center fielder Cassidy Skeen (Powell, Tenn.) capitalized on a Pfeiffer mistake in the fifth, scoring on a throwing error by Falcons third baseman Sarah Waylock.
Starting freshman pitcher Jessie Forrester (Flintstone, Ga.) pitched a complete game shutout for Carson-Newman in the second game. Forrester was on the mark from the opening inning, giving up just three hits and two walks in the five-inning game. Forrester (2-1) fanned four in the game.
The Lady Eagles grabbed their first run in the opening inning on a throwing error from Pfeiffers Waylock that allowed Skeen cross the plate.
A five-run second inning for Carson-Newman began when freshman first baseman Caitlyn Lance (East Ridge, Tenn.) drew a lead-off walk, then took home on a Pfeiffer throwing error.
A Shoemake single scored Whaley with one out on the board. A three-RBI double from Kee brought in Wright, Price and Shoemake for C-N to take a 6-0 lead.
The Lady Eagles added a run in the third on a Whaley RBI double. Kee picked up her fourth RBI in the game in the bottom of the fourth, scoring Skeen.
Pfeiffer returns to action on Wednesday hosting Catawba College in their home opener at 1:30 p.m.

To Marcus Paige, if North Carolina continues on the upward trajectory it recently has established, there's no height to which the bar of expectations can't be raised.
"If we keep playing the way we are and keep growing as a team, keep competing hard and playing defense, I'm not sure you can put a ceiling on what we can do come March and April," the freshman point guard said.
And that's similar, in some respects, to how coach Roy Williams saw the long view of this basketball season unfolding for the Tar Heels.
"I said in the preseason I thought my team would get better and better as the season went along, and I think we're doing that," Williams said. "We are getting better.
"We're still growing. I'm pleased with some of the things we're accomplishing right now. I'm not pleased with where we are, because I want us to even get better."
North Carolina, which downsized its lineup two weeks ago and seemingly has experienced across-the-board upgrades, can produce its second four-game winning streak of the season — and first since four straight victories to start the season — by defeating host Clemson tonight.
After beating rival North Carolina State 76-65 on Saturday, Williams said the Tar Heels "definitely look like a different team" in comparison to what they put on the court during blowout losses at Indiana (in late November), at Texas (in mid-December) and at Miami (earlier this month).
So has the 62-year-old Williams, in turn, coached any differently?
"Not really. I'm begging and pleading, doing like I've always done over there," he said. "The only difference is that we have been preaching a sense of urgency and playing harder so much more, because if you have more experienced teams you sort of expect that they're going to do that without you continuing to harp on it all the time.
"And I really believe that if you play with a sense of urgency, you've got a tremendous chance. And I don't think we did that earlier in the year, and that's what we're doing better now."
North Carolina has an average margin of victory of 11.7 points in the last three games — defeats of Virginia, Georgia Tech and N.C. State — and essentially has broken even on the glass, grabbing a rebounding edge of plus-five in combining the totals from those three games.
Creating and recreating energy has become a must for the smaller Tar Heels.
James Michael McAdoo, now essentially the team's lone post player, said he's not overly concerned about North Carolina wearing down as the regular season wraps up and the postseason approaches.
"We're fine. We're all young kids. We just refocus," McAdoo said. "I think that's the biggest thing, knowing that we can't dwell in the past with what we're doing."
Clemson, tonight's opponent, has lost five of its last six games and hasn't won at home since Jan. 29. At home in Littlejohn Coliseum, the Tigers are allowing just 55.7 points per game to their opponents.
Who: North Carolina (19-8, 9-5) at Clemson (13-13, 5-9)
When: 7 tonight (ESPN)
Where: Littlejohn Coliseum, Clemson, S.C.
Series: North Carolina leads 126-20 and has won 14 of the last 15 meetings

SALEMBURG – Jamaz Richardson is known for his ability to churn out the yards rushing, but the Lejeune senior tailback showed he can be something of a magician and a passer as well Friday night against Lakewood.
Richardson, who had already rushed for 207 yards and two touchdowns, threw an 8-yard halfback pass to Cameron Mallard with 8 seconds left as the Devilpups rallied for a 22-19 win over Lakewood, which was ranked No. 8 in this week's Associated Press poll.
"I don't when was the last time we beat Lakewood, but it's been many years – about 20, 30, who knows?" coach Darryl Schwartz said. "A very exciting game. I've only been in a few in my life like that."
Both teams are now 2-1.
The Devilpups jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first quarter on runs of 2 and 86 yards by Richardson, but Lakewood rallied to go up 19-15 on a field goal and a 63-yard return of a fumble by the Devilpups with nine minutes left in the game.
"We were just punching it and did a great job," Schwartz said. "And then they came back strong. We made a few mistakes and they capitalized."
But so did Lejeune.
With time running out, the Devilpups defense stopped Lakewood on downs, and on fourth down the snap went over the punter's head, giving Lejeune the ball at the 20-yard line. Three plays later Lejeune pulls off its miraculous rally on fourth down.
"We ran Jamaz on sweeps all night long," Schwartz said. "So on the very last play … we said, 'Jamaz take the ball, run; linemen don't go down field, run the ball like you're going to sweep, hold up, pull up and throw the ball and he threw it to Cam Mallard – touchdown.
"After that letdown that we had, we thought the team may crash, but they didn't. They came back. That shows a lot of perseverance, all those words you use, of a team that didn't quit – against a good team, too."

DEEP RUN — When Heather West made the decision to transfer to South Lenoir, she had no idea what lied ahead.
After helping turn around its girls basketball program she's headed to Meredith College.
The Parrott Academy transfer who sacrificed everything to attend South Lenoir for one year has accepted an offer to play basketball for the next four for the Division III Avenging Angels.
"It was a risk but I'm really glad I took that risk because it worked out great," West said of the transfer. "Today's like a dream come true. It's surreal."
The guard left Parrott Academy after three years and as its scoring leader at 11.5 points per game as a junior to attend a school not known for its basketball program, but it didn't take long for West's enthusiasm for the game to rub off on her teammates.
The Blue Devils started winning immediately, going 18-7 last season and finishing tied for second with East Duplin in the East Central 2A Conference. They also won a state playoff game and made the state playoffs for the first time in four years.
West, a first team all-area selection this year by The Free Press, averaged 13.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in her only season in a South Lenoir uniform.
Blue Devils coaches Mishella Craine and Donald Mooring are glad West decided to attend the school. They can also see how West's work ethic and intensity made the rest of her teammates better this season and set things up for the future.
"You know when you get that small gift and it brightens up your day? I think that's what Heather brought to this program this year," Craine said. "She made all the girls, as well as the coaches, step up and play to another whole level. I think she's going to do amazing things for Meredith."
"Her coming here this year, as I've said in the past, gave everybody here a chance to be a better player," Mooring added. "She made our job as coaches a lot easier."
Meredith coach Melinda Campbell is happy she is getting an all-around student-athlete, both on the court and off.
"We are excited that Heather has made a decision to attend Meredith and look forward to her joining the Avenging Angels basketball program and our college community," Campbell said in an email to The Free Press. "She is an excellent student, role model, and athlete and we are fortunate she has chosen to bring her talents to our campus."
West said she plans on majoring in chemistry and once her time at Meredith is over she will transfer to Campbell University where she plans on fulfilling her dream of becoming a pharmacist.
But for now, she's going to enjoy the rest of her time at South Lenoir and prepare for playing basketball at the next level.
"I want to go play basketball before I start pharmacy," West said, "so I'm really excited that I have that opportunity."

help z80 coders & pc programmers wanted
if you like all these old machines have a look at http://www.retrocomputermuseum.co.uk/ they have a vast collection and often do open days in the East Midlands.
Where are Atari 800XL models?
Disappointed in the over-prominence of the Amstrad and Sinclair lines, and next to no mention of the BBC Micro - except the Domesday project. NO IBM PC and PS/2 lines or early Compaq kit either. If their had been no BBC Micro, there would be no ARM chip today, powering >95% of all mobile phones and tabs.
The BBC Micro is hardly mentioned. And what about the Nascom 1 and 2 systems which, fully built up, was capable or running CPM. I built a Nascom 2 for my girlfriend at the time! Also the UK101 was a ripoff of the Ohio Superboard - I have mine in the garage! I bought my Ohio Superboard from a bloke in a semi-derelict squat in London. He was importing them wrapped in silver foil in a suitcase!
I still have mine, in the original box, the tape drive and all the games that you had to wait to load up and then would crash after 30 minutes of loading! I still have my Amiga too!
Atari 64 Color! 40 column monitor wrap-around. Not one but two 5.25 floppies. Custom memory up to 128. Are you feeling the pain, monochrome Dudes? We will not even talk about sound. We will not even discuss ST 3.5 floppy and 20 meg harddrive 80 column monitor in living color.
c64 and c128 long lost (dead). But still have my Commodore 64 programmer's reference guide circa 1984. I am flipping through it right now. How sweet it was to be a kid and have something very cool to play with. Dual 1541's and TV OUT. Games, ya. But BASIC, sprites, 3 voices and machine language (Chapter 5) made it a play ground of my youth. I can only hope I can provide my kids with something as enabling as the c64, the best selling computer of its time. This comment will cold start in sys64738.
In the 1980's 16mb of RAM, 40 MB of Hard Disk oh and a floppy disk no less. Cost ? ??950 !!! Mind I sold it for ??500 1 year later !!
I have an old 650MB full sized 5.25" SCSI hard-drive that is still in working condition that I use as an external expansion for my Amiga 1200 with it's 120MB 2.5" internal IDE drive. A CD/DVD/Blueray drive for instance is only a Half height 5.25" drive. a Full height 5.25" drive takes up 2 modern computer 5.25" bays just to give you an idea how big my old SCSI drive is! The external case the drive sits in and powers it is an old Commodore PC10 case that no longer has the burnt out PC 10 motherboard. The old PC10 power supply also powers the Amiga 1200 via a cable cut off the brick style external power supply the 1200 came with that burnt out a year after its original warranty was up.
These type of Galleries are a trip down memory lane for me. I started off with a 1K Sinclair ZX81 as my first computer when I left school and upgraded it with the 16K expansion pack as shown plugged into the ZX81 in the pictures gallery. I then went to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K model as my second computer. I later went to the Commodore 64, before Moving to an Amiga 500 I expanded with the A590 20MB hard drive add on. Later I purchased both an Amiga 1200 and a Amiga CD32 both of which I still have in working order. I don't however fire them up to often, instead running my old Amiga games on my Windows PC using an Amiga emulator program.
My master's thesis generated TI99 assembly language using a compiler running on a CDC mainframe. I liked the architecture much better than the 8080.
Someone gave me two of these along with the voice synth but got rid of them it was a great system!
I remember seeing most of these computer in Byte Mag. Looked at a Sinclair ZX-80 computer before I bought an Atari 800. Later upgraded to an Atari 800XL then a 1200XL when lightning fried my 800XL but none of the hardware on the Serial bus (i.e. 4 serial ports, floppy disks, and hard disk (all 20megs of it. Today's cache memory is bigger on most hard disks, but that was 30 years ago when the 5.25" floppy at 320K/360K was big. And Space Invaders came on a cartridge with the Atari computer, and could have 4 players per computer. Played it on my computer before getting the cartridge for my Atari 2600 game machine.
and a couple Macs. Also have a store's parts bin of Atari 400/800 switches, roms, and whatnot. Just couldn't bear to throw it away.
Man.. I think it just couldnt have been as long as its been .. but it has. I remember my "Trash 80".. the floppy disks were notorious for not writing the medium correctly or the disk themselves were bad. I dont think I really did anything useful with mine other than play stupid games.. never realized it would take me from a Telecom profession to IT.. Time marches on does it not?
If you want to know anything else about the computers featured here, feel free to leave a comment on my blog, send me a email or message me on Twitter. All my contact details are on my blog. Hope you enjoy the photos! Andy
i HAVE MY COMPLETE TRS-80 MODEL 1 KB WITH 16KB RAM, SYSTEM UNIT, B & W MONITOR EEXPANSION CHASIS WITH 32 KB MEMORY & PRINTER CONTROLLER & 2 FLOPPY DRIVE CONTROLLER 1 88KB FLOPPY DRIVE & TRS ORIFINAL UNIDIRECTIONAL PRINTER
Uh.. not to gripe or anything. This is great. I actually used a few of the systems that are shown. I seem to be at a loss with some of the pictures, particularly those with no captions or short captions. A short provenance on the systems would be nice.
I still have a Commodore 64. The tape reader died though, so there's no storage, but still fully functional otherwise. The Commodore CBM pictured here looks exactly like the Commodore "PET" my 4th grade class got to use for a few months in the 1970's. The Vancouver School Board had borrowed one or two of them and they moved from school to school for those kids in "advanced" math to play around with "Turtle Graphics" / Logo. The "Dragon" machines here look pretty much identical to my big brother's Apple][ circa 1980 -- from the outside anyway. Those were good times: we soldered SAM (Software Automated Mouth) together from a kit, and we built our own paddle controllers in order to play the new and amazing (Vancouver created) "Evolution" game and my brother's version of Lunar Lander (he's 18 years old than I and was at uni at the time).
My first computer was a Sinclair ZX81 with a 16k RAM pack. Man, I thought I was in hog heaven with that! For some reason it wouldn't talk to my tape deck (storage) and the RAM pack didn't fit tight so you had to make sure not to jostle the machine, but we had a lot of fun with it. Got rid of it when I upgraded to a Commodore 64. Wish I'd kept it. Prior to that I also had a Sinclair pocket calculator. That was 1975 when very few calculators were around. It was a great little machine (glowing red numbers) and got me branded by many as a 1970's version of a geek. Don't recall we had an official name like Geek though.
Most IT pros and computer enthusiasts that I know have at least one old computer stored away in basement or closet. I still have have my first Tandy 1000, which still works. What about you? Do you have a computer that's more than 20 years old? Take the poll over on the TR Dojo blog and let me know: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/itdojo/?p=1976
and I was shocked at how well the basic programing could synthesize voice! The programs I wrote sounded just as good as some of the modern stuff you hear now. I greatly preferred it to anything coming out until the first Toshiba laptop, with built in hard drive in the mid 80's. The Ti/99 would have made a great portable too, if Texas Instruments had just thought about it a little more.
IBM PS/2 75 486 original IBM monitor with the reversed VGA pinning, Micro Channel for Ethernet card (most cards at that time were for Token Ring, was told that IBM only made a 1000 Ethernet cards) and Creative Sound board, SCSI hard drive
My TRS-80 model 1 has been boxed for a while. Miss the voice synthesizer but voice recognition did not like me (modern systems still do not understand me very well.) Had 2 floppies (often used flip enabled disks) and an Olivetti spark jet printer (that you never had to worry about ink drying out but had been unable to get replacement ?ink? 20 years ago). Had quit working (maybe just a fuse but never opened it up to check - yet). Had a model 4p that I was using anyway. 4p worked last I tuned it on - a few years ago - about it's 21st birthday. (Worked with PC's and Windows much of last 20 years - mostly as workstation for Mainframe access.) Had a Sinclair for a while. Small footprint but too limited for me.
The TRS-80 computers were not as popular in the UK. We were more of a country of Sinclair, Amstrad, Atari & Commodore. I do have a TRS-80 Model 1 in my collection.
Ha ha - the ZX-81 was my first computer. Talk about good programmer training. You learn to use space extremely efficiently when you're working with 1K RAM! ;-)
Your experience sounds a lot like mine...the Timex/Sinclair ZX 81 was my first computer (unless one counts the Atari 2600), followed by the C=64. I had better luck with the RAM pack and tape recorder, though. I had the thermal printer, as well.
My first computer was a TRS80 Color Computer. Sold it for the Amiga 1000. Still have 3 Amiga computers. A1000 and 2 A3000's in the attic. Wish I had room to set them up again. 2 Apples, a Macintosh Performa 6115CD and a Power Macintosh 7100/66. All are collecting dust now. The Amiga X1000 pictured is a new computer though. Should be out this year... maybe. http://www.a-eon.com/
I have an Expon HX-20 with printer and micro-casette modules included in it. The first real 'laptop' and until fairly recently this one was still being used to run a telephone switchboard.
In 1987 I traded in my Atari 800XL system for a NEC V-30 (286-386sx) Laptop, then traded it in for a 386DX in 1995. Hand built a Full Tower AMD 64bit 1 gigahertz system in 2000. Still have that, then hand built a AMD 64/2 in 2003. Now ruining a mid tower HP 6000 media center over clocked from 2.44G to 3Gigahertz. Saving up to build a 6 core AMD that I will connect my 8Terabyte RAID HD box to, and have a AMD ATI 1080p HD/HDMI card. That will start after I fill the RAID Harddisk with 3 more 2T drives. The ATI video card is kind of over kill since my RAID drive connects to my HP system via a E-SATA cable and to my WD media player via a usb cable and the HDMI out goes to my 40" HDTV that is hooked to my Dual Tuner HD Dish box. And my PC is not needed to play Digital movies that I store on my RAID drive. This way I will no longer need to burn DVD's to watch movies and no longer need to add to my 3000 DVD collection.
I've kept: ZX 81 Atari ST AMIGA 1200
Anyone ever heard of the ATR8000? This was an upgrade/add-on to the Atari 800 computer. The ATR8000 turned the Atari into a CP/M machine on it's Z-80 processor thereby allowing the owner to utilize an abundent supply of 8 bit CP/M software (including freeware) avaialble at the time. Additionally, it allowed Atari owners to purchase less expensive hardware such as line printers, disk drives such as quad density 5 1/4 drives or 8 inch drives. It also came with an option that allowed the Atari to become IBM compatible by using MS-DOS with an 8088 processor. For approximately an additional $1000 dollars it made the Atari much more than a game machine.
I have a fully functional C64 with two 1541 disk drives, AND a Commodore MPS801 printer. I used it until we bought our first PC in 1997. I used to crank out programs in BASIC, write essays and term papers in GeoWrite, play tons of games on it, and compose music on it...ah, good times.
IBM-PC-XT with 640K, replacement NEC V20 Processor, 8087 math co-pro and LIM Memory board, Hercules Monochrome Graphics. 4.77 Mhz. 30MB MFM 5-1/4" full-height HDD. Compaq Portable (luggable) III IBM-AT Clone Explorer-80 MB attached inside cabinet of TTY-KSR-636. No drives, uses either audio cassette or paper tape reader. IBM/HP 7473 Sheet Vector Plotter, complete with full manuals.
of the originals I owned back when. My friend and I used to maintain a junk pile for fun; but he's moving, and all the vintage stuff is going to the dump! *sigh*!
Unfortunately I don't have any of my old computers anymore...no room for them. I actually went retro in the early '90s and bought a Kaypro portable, just because I wanted to try CP/M, which I'd wanted to play with in the '80s but never had the opportunity to do so.
I still have an Apple 2e, a Mac SE FD/HD, Powerbook 180c, Amiga (various), Acorn Electron (plus about every peripheral), Got 3 different Apple Newtons (iPad predecessor (sort of)), and many, many more! My wife has an issue about this, something about storage! :-)
Dual 5 1/4" drives, no hard drive. Still have a box of software for it also.
With their stupid Micro Channel system that made you keep a floppy disk for each PC ! Hated them...
I had one here in the UK. In fact that's the machine that got me into computers. Anybody remember Haunted House and Dancing Demon?!
@LedLincoln My first computer was a 1K Sinclair ZX81 as well that I purchased already built. After just over a year with only 1K ram I saved up and purchased the 16K expansion module that plugged into the back. It actually only had 15K in it. The 16K written on it referred to the total memory once it was plugged in. I used to purchase the imported British magazines and type in the games code printed in the pages. I remember later on once I upgraded to the ZX Spectrum tying in the code to build Manic Miner and Jetset Willy from the original printed code that came out in one of the Spectrum magazines before the games went commercial and became available on Tape.
My brother had a friend that use to do almost all Heathkit build your own kits. He made a ZX-80 project. I got to play with it as I taught him to use the Micro BASIC ROM ROM chip to it. I intern learned how to do Z-80 machine code. The Tiny Basic was not HP or even DEC or Microsoft but much easier to write in over machine code. Those were the days writing stuff to fit into 4K ROM chips. Now days we can do things 1,000 times bigger and almost fit the Universe into one computer database. What will we do when they can think faster than we can. But thinking of that you start hearing 'I'll be back echoing in the back of your head.
Basically it turned your Atari into a dumb terminal. Never owned the unit but still have my Atari 800. Look what you could do with 48K of RAM..
I bought a C64 back in 1982 and owned it for over 10 years till it died which then I had built my first PC. Later I discovered Linux, so found an emulator for those old C64 games and word processor and they now live on. Good times indeed!
I used to have one of these. It had a Z80 processor with 2*5 1/4" floppy drives and ran under CP/M. It had some overheating problems and now rests in peices.
My husband has that same issue with storage, as I have every computer I ever purchased--which is quite a few! As a teacher, I started with the TI 99A, then into Apples--II Plus, IIe, IIc (the only Apple I don't still have), Macintosh with the $400 20 MEGABYTE external HDD and the 9 inch B&W screen (NO internal HDD), and many more past that They were all working the last time I turned each one on. I'm about to dump them--I'm too old and the kids don't care.
...but it was not a Heathkit. It was provided by Sinclair. I think in kit form it was $99, and the assembled version was $150. I built plenty of other Heathkits, however.

Confident, independent, and dangerous. These are three words that designers Adoni and Giordano had in mind when creating Kelsi Dagger, a fresh and cutting edge line of footwear. The two settled on the name from the fictional English literary showgirl and femme fatal. Kelsi Dagger seeks to bring out the feisty cat in every woman who steps into her shoes. The line showcases everything from luxurious knee high boots to flirty, embellished flats.

Gamble, Hebberd and Binder Score Three Each as Women's Lacrosse Rolls Queens 14-4 in Season Opener
February 20, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Three different Lady Falcons scored three goals apiece as Pfeiffer University rolled past Queens 14-4 in Conference Carolinas womens lacrosse on Saturday afternoon. Allie Gamble (Easton, MD), Sarah Hebberd (Golden, CO) and Tory Binder (Woodstock, MD) each notched a hat trick as the Lady Falcons win their 2010 season opener while the Royals fall to 0-2 overall.
Pfeiffer struck just 49 seconds in as Jessica Kennedy (Perth, AUSTRALIA) quickly tallied her first of the season. Queens would square the contest on a Brittany Barnwell (Lorton, VA) goal before the Lady Falcons regained the lead with a Hebberd strike at 24:12. Again, Barnwell would tie the contest 2-2 with her second score 45 seconds later.
With just over 17 minutes to play in the first half, Hebberd found the back of the cage again to give the hosts a 3-2 advantage. A late score by Gamble with 78 seconds to go gave the Lady Falcons a 4-2 lead at the break.
Queens fought back to make it a one-goal game 4:31 into the second period as Caitlin ORourke (Winter Springs, FL) hit to make it 4-3. From there, Pfeiffer would go on to register the next nine goals opening up Saturdays contest. Alex Cook (Commack, NY) would score her first of the season in between two Binder strikes while Natalie Marvin (South Berwick, ME), Kennedy, Gamble and Binder would all score in a 4:45 span to put Pfeiffer up 11-3.
Gamble would then assist on Hebberds third of the day at the 10:53 mark before Heidi Karasckiewicz (Glen Burnie, MD) recorded her first of the year putting the Lady Falcons up ten. Brittany Philip (Painted Post, NY) scored the final goal for Queens with just over seven minutes to play before Gamble finished off the days scoring with 17 ticks left on the clock.
Kennedy had a game-high seven ground balls for Pfeiffer, followed closely by Binders six. Barnwell had the two goals to pace Queens with Taylor Kuhn (Lewis Center, OH) and Alison Doron (Zionsville, IN) each recording three ground balls. Caitlin Ryan (Perth, AUSTRALIA) earned the win in goal stopping four shots. Kaitlin Booth (Winter Springs, FL) stopped both shots she faced, relieving Ryan with 7:10 to play.
Pfeiffer will return to N.E. Lefko Field on Monday afternoon in the Conference Carolinas opener. The Lady Falcons will host the Lady Fleet from Erskine beginning at 3:30 p.m.

The first seat had a blemish on the surface so I returned and ordered a replacement. The second one arrived and the white cover on the bottom front fell off out of the box. Not good. I'm sending this one back too. Not sure I'll be ordering a third. :(
Best Uses
Comments about Ergon SM3 Pro MTB Carbon Rail Saddle:
So I tried this saddle based purely on the brand recognition. Everything Ergon has manufactured so far has been a hit. I currently run the GS1 grip and HX2 gloves, both of which I love. When the saddle arrived I was a little surprised at how flat and wide the nose was. The saddle is smooth and after some light modifications to the angle I'm set. If you're on the the fence here pull the trigger. You won't regret it.

Kayseri Kaskispor got a taste of the big time this season when the Turkish team made it to the EuroCup Women Final.
Although the Turkish outfit lost over two legs to Dynamo Kursk, the hunger for success remains.
That is evident by the club's activity in the player market.
The team swooped for Asjha Jones almost immediately after the USA international was named MVP of the EuroLeague Women Final Eight in early April.
They followed that up by bringing in Nuria Martinez, following the Spanish guard's spell with Umbertide in Italy this season.
Kayseri have also added pivot Nicky Anosike and there is now rampant media speculation that Greece international Evina Maltsi is to join the team.
According to reports in Greece, Maltsi has signed a one-year contract with the Turkish club.

What results are you seeing in using gene therapy to treat mesothelioma?
AnswerDan Sterman, MD, Interventional Pulmonologist at Penn Medicine, responds:
The results of gene therapy trials for mesothelioma to date (from 1995 to the present) have shown that the delivery methods are safe, that we can get expression of the therapeutic genes within the tumor cells, and that we can induce some anti-tumor responses. The trials to date, however, have all been in the Phase I trials. Therefore, response rates, increases in survival, and other crucial questions still will await final analysis of current Phase II and future Phase III clinical trials.

I really appreciate Aly's work also. It's a clever idea and nice continuation with her subject matter (pin ups). The rendering of all the little objects in her pics is what always gets me. They're all carefully done and positioned nicely. Always great rendering.
Icon and Vlyes ideas, also clever. Icon's choice for lighting is what I always like. I also like the skulls in the sky giving that story a little more dimension.
I aboslutely love Nicolas' clothes designs! He's a great pro, awesome rendering/lighting... but his design aspects that get me. Awesome job man!

As soon as I heard this was up, I decided to storm to my friend's house about 40 minutes away, kick them out of bed and use their computer! And my was it worth it!!!
First I wish to thank everyone. Mainly Cody, judges and the entire 270 artist that worked so hard on this (a few pussouts here and there, but this is a speech not a damn math class!!!!!) ... this contest truly changed me as an artist, and it wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for all of you. I'm blessed, honored, and overwhelmed to be next to these fantastic professionals!
With that out of my system
Nicolas: I laugh every time I see it, and it's wonderful! The army is silly but it truly attracts attention to the main figure, which I sigh about, since it's executed wonderfully!!!
Shelly: My dear! That poor lady is delusional; she thinks wall pictures will save her from assassins!! !!!! No, just joking. Wonderful Shelly, just wonderful! Its design, color, composition, is just out of this world. You truly excel more and more with each work delivered! I guess I'm just so happy for you since I remember the first pieces you posted in concept art (well not the first, but the ones before the girl Thunderdome) and you have grown so much!! I'm glad and I can't wait until we get to hang out again ;p. (or at least until I get my net back so I can make a blogspot and chill)
Vyle: Don Quixote owns my heart, and so does this piece. I'm typically not a fan of low key pictures, but it works so well for you since I find myself going back to the painting making out the different shapes. It could also be this horrible monitor. In any case, I adore it
Posh/Aly: The king of pin up is what I shall call you. This is fantastic!! I did a list as well, and there are only three things that can be assigned to " charge!"
: 1. A battle.
2. Someone charging their credit card
3. Someone charging their battery.
I was a 100% sure everyone (including myself) would do a war scene... and I'm really happy you didn't! It works so well, I adore your details and names. Abby normal...seriously!! I love its humor, color, composition...well everything =/ . She's even suicidal! Mix hairspray with electricity and you get a happy explosion. Well anyways, great work!
You four have inspired me greatly, and your work for this "just for fun" competition has been amazing, to me there is no clear winner! I feel sorry for the judges, since these are all so great, that it suddenly becomes a matter of taste! So good luck to them!
¡Que Viva El Concept Art Atelier!

congrats to all the finalists,i pull my nonexistant hat in front of you.
for me it's a tie between the females of this one,shelly,icon,aly(),wouldn't wanna be a judge.
each and every one of those pics deserves to be on a cover of it's own though,and should there ever be a "best of thunderdome" book coming out *hint hint*,multiple editions for different countries wouldn't be much of a problem
by some i was thrown outta my socks by what seemed a sudden gigantic leap in quality (icon f.ex.,compared to your female pinup,which is hot on it's own,this owns by even a few miles more).
once again congrats to all for being this far,and my vote is for icon and shelly sharing first place
you've all certainly inspired me to work harder on my own entry next time.

Great job, everyone! I'm really glad everyone was able to finish and submit their pieces in time :-P Personally, I'm in favor of Nicolas' piece. It's just oozing with style and it's cute, too. But, really it's impossible to decide on a winner without having to go back and taking a look at the entries again and choosing some one else (and so on and so on). Can't wait for LMSTD3 (get a start on it, Codybear!) !!
January 24th, 2007 #88
Nicolas that is pretty hip idea. I still think this one could have maybe been pushed a bit more. Maybe with the addition of cast shadows. It is still a hot bit though!
Shelly Wan you never cease to amaze me! I love the way you have taken a different route with your canvas. Composition is lovely!
Aly that is a really hip take on the subject. I am glad that you have taken this route with the theme. This is what will separate you from the rest. Originality is a bonus for you dude!
Vyle incredible scale in this one and the texture work in your work is always a treat!
Icon really nice to see that you have made it this far! I am on the bandwagon of being an Icono fan. I really like your approach in this entry. I still feel that you fell short with the forground a bit. I wish there was an element that followed the motion of what is going on in the background! Still this a really powerful image!
Good stuff everyone! I can't wait for the next thunderdome!!!

I think that shape is a well written magazine and it offers good health tips and exercises. Sometimes I feel that the articles are irrelevant and have nothing to do with that particular issue.

Shape magazine is helpful in reporting all of the latest information about fitness and weight loss. Since there are a variety of weight control strategies explained in each issue, you are sure to find a strategy that will work for you!
Shape magazine is one of my favorite magazines. I have been a subscriber for the past 4 years and it is the one magazine I will never let go.
I received Shape magazine subscription for free with my gym membership. However, I will continue to renew it as well as recommend it to any friend who is interested in health and fitness. The suggested workouts are varied and challenging. I like the monthly cardio routines. I tend to get bored with cardio easily so this helps me change it up. Not only that, each month they publish new strength-training exercises, which focus on a particular muscle group. I enjoy this as they are almost always new exercises to me. There is some fashion advice, but I am not particularly interested in that and read other magazines to look at clothes. I do appreciate it being there, though, especially when it tends to be related to fitness (i.e., best running shoes, most supportive sandals, swimsuits, etc.)
Shape magazine keeps me in line with my goals and helps me beat boredom. In every issue I find a different approach of working on my problem zones. There's always something new and exciting to look forward to when I go to the gym.
I looked through Shape magazine at a friend's house and really liked it. It had recipes in it that I wanted and many articles about real people and how they worked to get in shape and healthy. So I came home and ordered it. I have really enjoyed reading my Shape magazine. Thanks so much for such a great deal and interesting and helpful magazine.
Shape magazine is a decent women's health magazine. It is a motivating magazine for women looking to get in shape and stay on top of women's health issues.

Shape Magazine Subsription Video Review
Hi, I'm Tami.
I've noticed that subscribing to a health & fitness magazine like Shape every month helps me to stay motivated to eat healthy and work out regularly. I like Shape magazine because it has new recipes and easy-to-follow workouts each month, which keep me from getting bored with my eating and exercising routines.
Shape magazine is also a great source for latest fitness, nutrition and weight loss information. There are always a lot of easy tips on how to lighten up recipes and mealtime staples without compromising taste. Since Shape magazine explains a variety of weight control strategies in each issue, I always find a strategy that will works for me.
The suggested workouts are varied and challenging. I like the monthly cardio routines the best. I tend to get bored with cardio easily so Shape's monthly workouts help me change up my routines without getting off track. Also, each month the magazine publishes new strength-training exercises, which focus on a particular muscle group. I enjoy these since they are almost always new exercises to me.
I appreciate that most of the fashion advice that Shape offers is fitness related—they've featured the best running shoes and workout clothes. Still, Shape does include short features on the latest trends in non-fitness fashion and beauty. Thanks for checking out the current Shape Magazine subscription offers today at Magazines.com.

Official Travel Basics
The General Services Administration (GSA) is responsible for developing the policies and procedures regarding Federal employees who travel on official business. The Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) is the regulation found at 41 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Chapters 300 through 304 that implements statutory requirements and Executive branch policies for travel by Federal civilian employees and others authorized to travel at Government expense. Below is a list of frequently asked questions about official travel.
What travel expenses may an agency pay? An agency may pay or reimburse only those expenses essential to the transaction of official business, which include: (a) transportation expenses (as provided in FTR Part 301-10); (b) per diem expenses (as provided in FTR Part 301-11); (c) miscellaneous expenses (as provided in FTR Part 301-12); and (d) travel expenses of an employee with special needs (as provided in FTR Part 301-13) (see FTR §301-2.2).
Must an employee have authorization to travel? Yes, generally an employee must have written or electronic authorization prior to incurring any travel expenses.
What travel arrangements require authorization or approval prior to travel?
If not practicable or possible to obtain authorization prior to travel, the employee's agency may approve a specific authorization for reimbursement of travel expenses after travel is completed. However, written or electronic advance authorization is required for certain expenses (see FTR §301-2.1). An employee must have a specific authorization or prior approval for: (a) use of other than coach-class service on common carrier transportation; (b) use of a foreign air carrier; (c) use of reduced fares for group or charter arrangements; (d) use of cash to pay for common carrier transportation; (e) use of extra-fare train service; (f) travel by ship; (g) use of a rental car; (h) use of a Government aircraft; (i) payment of a reduced per diem rate; (j) payment of actual expenses, unless your agency has issue a blanket actual expense authorization under §301-70.201; (k) travel expenses related to emergency travel; (l) transportation expenses related to threatened law enforcement/investigative employees and members of their families; (m) travel expenses related to travel to a foreign area; (n) acceptance of payment from a non-Federal source for travel expenses (see Chapter 304 of the FTR); (o) travel expenses related to attendance at a conference (see FTR §301-2.5); and (p) Due to an employee's medical requirements or religious beliefs, payment of the full M&IE allowance even though meals are furnished by the Government either directly or through a registration fee or other payment for a conference or other event, in accordance with §301-11.18(b).
How must employees make travel arrangements? Employees must use their agencies' E-Gov Travel Service (ETS) or Defense Travel System (DTS) to make travel arrangements. If the service is not yet available to the employing agency, its employees must use the existing internal Travel Management Service (TMS) to make travel arrangements (see FTR §301-50.3).
Are there any limits on travel arrangements employees may make?
(a) Common carrier accommodations:
(1) if the employee's agency is a mandatory user of GSA's city-pair contracts for air passenger transportation services, the employees must use the contract carrier, unless the employee has an approved exception (see § 301-10.107);
(2) employees are required to use coach class accommodations unless granted an exception under FTR §§301-10.123, 301-10.162 or 301-10.183; and
(b) Lodging accommodations:
(2) when selecting a commercial lodging facility, employees first consideration should be given to government lodging agreement programs such as FedRooms, all of which meet fire safety requirements. FedRooms benefits include:
(i) Lodging rates are set at or below per diem rates;
(ii) There are no add-on fees;
(iii) The room cancellation deadline is 4:00 p.m. (or later) on the day of arrival;
(iv) Most hotels offer last standard room availability rates;
(v) There are no early departure fees; and
(vi) Rates are available using all booking channels (e.g., E-Gov Travel Service, Travel Management Service, FedRooms website, and hotel reservation call centers). The FedRooms rate code (XVU) must be entered to get the program benefits
(c) Car rental accommodations: when authorized to use a rental vehicle under FTR §301-10.450, employees should rent a vehicle from a vendor that participates in the Defense Travel Management Office's (DTMO) U.S. Government Car Rental Agreement, unless travel is OCONUS and no agreement is in place for the OCONUS TDY location. DTMO has negotiated rental car agreements that include automatic unlimited mileage, collision damage insurance, and ceiling rates (see FTR §301-10.450).
How must employees pay for official travel expenses? Employees are required to use the Government contractor-issued travel charge card for all official travel expenses unless granted an exemption (see FTR §301-51.1).
What official travel expenses and/or classes of employees are exempt from the mandatory use of the Government contractor-issued travel charge card? The Administrator of General Services exempts the following from the mandatory use of the Government contractor-issued travel charge card: (a) expenses incurred at a vendor that does not accept the Government contractor-issued travel charge card; (b) laundry/dry cleaning; (c) parking;
(d) transit system at TDY location; (e) taxi; (f) tips; (g) for meals when use of the card is impractical (e.g., group meals or the Government contractor-issued travel charge card is not accepted); (h) phone calls (when a Government calling card is available for use in accordance with agency policy); (i) an employee who has an application pending for the travel charge card; (j) individuals traveling on invitational travel; (k) new appointees; (l) relocation allowances prescribed in Chapter 302 of the FTR, except en-route travel and househunting trip expenses; and (m) employees who travel 5 times or less a year; however, even though exempt, agencies have the discretion to issue a travel charge card to such employees (see FTR §301-51.2).
What information must be provided in an employee's travel voucher/claim? Employees must provide the following:
(a) an itemized list of expenses and other information, as specified in the FTR (agencies may have additional requirements, as well), except: (1) an employee may aggregate expenses for telephone calls, transit system fares, and parking meter fees, except any individual expenses that cost over $75 must be listed separately; (2) when an employee is authorized lodgings-plus per diem, the employee must state the meals and incidental expense (M&IE) allowance on a daily basis; (3) when an employee is authorized a reduced per diem, the employee must state the reduced rate the agency authorized on a daily basis; and (4) when the agency limits M&IE reimbursement to the prescribed maximum M&IE for the locality concerned, the employee must state the reduced rate on a daily basis. Please note, however, that some agencies may or may not require itemization of M&IE when reimbursement is limited to either the maximum M&IE locality rate or a reduced M&IE rate is authorized;
(b) the type of leave and the number of hours of leave for each day;
(c) the date of arrival and departure from the TDY station and any non-duty points visited when the employee travels by an indirect route other than a stopover to change planes or embark/disembark passengers; and
(d) a signed statement, "I hereby assign to the United States any rights I may have against other parties in connection with any reimbursable carrier transportation charges described herein," when the employee uses cash to pay for common carrier transportation (see FTR §301-52.2).
What must employees provide with their travel vouchers/claims? Employees must provide:
(a) evidence of the necessary travel authorizations including any necessary special authorizations; and
(b) receipts for:
(1) any lodging expense;
(2) any other expense that cost over $75. If it is impracticable to furnish receipts in any instance as required by the FTR, the failure to do so must be fully explained on the travel voucher. Mere inconvenience in the matter of taking receipts will not be considered; and
(3) receipts must be retained for 6 years and 3 months as prescribed by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under General Records Schedule 6, paragraph number 1 (see FTR §301-52.4).
When must employees submit their travel claims/vouchers? Unless an employee's agency administratively requires submission of travel claims/vouchers within a shorter timeframe, employees must submit travel claims/vouchers as follows:
(a) within 5 working days after completing a trip or period of travel; or
(b) every 30 days if the employee is in a continuous travel status (see FTR §301-52.7).
How should employees submit their travel claims/vouchers? As soon as the employee's agency fully deploys ETS, employees must use the ETS to file all travel claims/vouchers. If this service is not yet available to the employee's agency, employees must file their travel claims/vouchers in the format prescribed by their agencies. If the prescribed travel claim/voucher is in hardcopy, the claim/voucher must be signed in ink. Any alterations or erasures to hardcopy travel claims/vouchers must be initialed. If agencies have electronic processing, employees must use their agencies' electronic signature where required (see FTR 301-52.3).

The HttpClient is an implementation of the client API. It makes it easy to conduct exchanges with a server, and to process the responses. It can use either blocking or non-blocking connectors, the default is to use non-blocking. The HttpClient can also do SSL, use proxies and authentication.
By nature it is asynchronous. To begin a request, create an HttpExchange instance (or a subclass of it). HttpExchange provides a number of callback methods that you implement in order to receive reply. You can be notified of the receipt of particular parts of the response, such as the headers or just the content. To start the request, call
HttpClient.send(HttpExchange) method. A single HttpClient can have many exchanges outstanding.
Asynchronous Request Example
Synchronous Request Example
You can perform a synchronous request by using the HttpExchange.waitForDone() method.

Phil Wharton wants to help you learn to love your body.
With a month to go before the 2002 London Marathon, Khalid Khannouchi was walking with a hitch. A recurring hamstring strain had flared up as Khannouchi prepared for a much-hyped showdown with Paul Tergat and Haile Gebrselassie. Yet on race day, Khannouchi won London in a then world record of 2:05:38.
Not long before the 2008 Olympic trials, Lopez Lomong had a sprained ankle and a pulled hamstring. Yet at the trials, Lomong made the 1500m team, which led to his memorable turn as the American flag bearer in Beijing's opening ceremonies.
Last summer, University of Oregon runner Matthew Centrowitz was hobbled by stress fractures. Yet this June he won the NCAA and USATF 1500m titles and a bronze medal at the World Championships.
The common thread in these abrupt turnarounds is Phil Wharton. For the last two decades, Wharton and his father, Jim, have worked on seemingly half the leading names in running. They've also worked with Broadway dancers and FBI agents, New York Times columnists and Washington lawyers. They've done so with the zeal of missionaries and the convincing competence of maestros.
It's easy to call Wharton a "therapist," but hard to feel that the word captures what he does. In a 90-minute session, you're likely to hear about fascial release, energy fields, organic nutrition, workplace ergonomics, rope-assisted stretching, joint integrity, arch rebuilding, emotional pain cycles, postural re-education, the dangers of texting, "glutes in hibernation" and more. Jay Johnson, who last summer brought Wharton to a Nike camp for 20 of the nation's top high school runners, says, "You can't put Phil into a good category or box. You definitely want this guy on your bus, but on the conventional seating chart, there's no obvious place for him."
Maybe a more accurate word is "healer." Dick Patrick, the former running reporter for USA Today who initially referred Khannouchi to the Whartons, says, "Phil has the ability to 'see' with his hands. By poking around with his fingers, he not only can tell you what is wrong with your body, he can tell you why things went wrong." Bystanders often have a near lusting to be the one strapped to the massage table.
For Wharton, what happens after a session is what's most important. Says Patrick, "Then he gives you a program to treat the cause as well to address the immediate problem." Then this mop-topped 44-year-old with a 2:23 marathon PR shows you that the work has just begun if you want to be a healthy runner in modern America.
Wharton's work can't be separated from his biography. As a high-schooler, first in West Virginia and then in Florida, he was well above average, with bests of 1:58 for 800m, 4:22 for 1600m and 9:36 for 3,200m. But starting in high school, and then as a junior college student in Florida, he suffered one injury after another. By the time he transferred to the University of Florida to finish his degree, he had been diagnosed with scoliosis, a lateral curvature of the spine.
Jim, the elder Wharton, was trained as an architectural engineer. He had also started studying exercise physiology when his son's scoliosis arose. Convinced that there was a structural element to Phil's inability to run without injury, he researched what his son could do to get healthy again. That led the Whartons to consulting and studying with a Floridian named Aaron Mattes.
Mattes is a therapist who created a flexibility method known as Active Isolated Stretching (AIS). The technique is based on the theory that working one muscle group (for example, the biceps) allows the opposing muscle group (in this case, the triceps) to relax, and while it's relaxed to be lengthened. That's the "isolated" part. The "active" part stems from stretches being dynamic, rather than static. Also in contrast to traditional static stretching, where you'll be told to hold a stretch for 30 to 60 seconds, in AIS each stretch takes only a couple seconds and is repeated 10 or so times. Static stretching, Mattes says, decreases blood flow within the muscles you're trying to stretch and sets off a protective reflex.
AIS is often called "rope stretching," although not all AIS stretches (e.g., for the neck or lower back) involve guiding the movement with a rope. More important for AIS proponents, thinking of the stretching solely in terms of a rope can encourage improper technique. You can lie on your back, wrap a rope under your right foot and pull the foot of your straightened leg toward the ceiling. And you'll certainly feel something in your hamstrings when you do that. But, Mattes would caution, you're not allowing the hamstrings to relax and lengthen. Instead, if you use your quads to move your foot toward the ceiling, the opposing hamstrings can relax. Mattes would then have you gently pull the rope at the end of your two-second stretch to help lengthen the muscle and release the surrounding fascia a little more.
Mattes' ideas made sense to Jim Wharton's engineer mind. For the next year and a half, Phil spent three hours a day on AIS and related strengthening exercises. He also switched his educational focus from journalism to "all things therapy," he says. A college friend, Anthony Nesty, was a swimmer from Suriname who beat Matt Biondi for the 1988 Olympic 100m butterfly title. He saw Wharton's gradual improvement from AIS, and Wharton introduced him to Mattes and started traveling with him to competitions. Jim Wharton also started working with top athletes, such as University of Florida alum Dennis Mitchell, a sprinter who was part of the American 400m relay team that won gold at the 1992 Olympics.

About UNDP in DPR Korea
The UNDP country office was re-opened in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in October 2009, after activities had been suspended in March 2007.
In January 2007, UNDP's programme in DPRK was audited by the UN's external Board of Auditors. At the same time, UNDP's Executive Board mandated several changes to its programmes and operations in the DPRK. By the beginning of March 2007, UNDP had adjusted its practices in several areas in order to align them with its system-wide standards. These involved changes in the recruitment of local staff, the use of local currency and the oversight of projects. However, because an agreement could not be reached with DPRK authorities on the implementation of the mandated changes, operations were suspended and international personnel were withdrawn.
In 2008, an independent review panel led by the former Hungarian Prime Minister Miklós Nemeth made a number of recommendations for improvements in the management and oversight of the programme, including proper procurement and the use, inspection and disposal of equipment, which UNDP endorsed and implemented.
With the approval of Executive Board members, UNDP then initiated new negotiations with the government of the DPRK, which agreed to changes in the areas of finance and banking, human resources and project management. At its January 2009 session, the Board subsequently approved the return of UNDP to the DPRK.
During 2009, the UNDP office in Pyongyang was renovated, local staff were hired according to new agreed-to practices and, from October to November 2009, international staff were engaged, headed by the UN Resident Coordinator/UNDP Resident Representative.
Six projects, which had been suspended during closure of the office, in agriculture, rural energy and statistics on the Millennium Development Goals were updated and resumed in 2010.
How We Work
UNDP operates in the DPRK with limited resources in an environment constrained by the unique situation on the Korean peninsula. With due consideration for the complexity and constraints of the external political environment, such as relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions, we follow a people-centred approach that directly addresses the needs of the most vulnerable: young children, new mothers, adolescents, the elderly and households in remote and under-served areas.
Project approvals
On an exceptional basis, all projects are to be approved by UNDP Headquarters. All projects are executed by a UN agency or UNDP itself. We will only implement projects that operate in areas where UNDP personnel have physical access to verify the results.
Monitoring and evaluation
UNDP DPRK follows special monitoring and evaluation (M&E) arrangements.
The Internal Control Framework for DPRK requires a dedicated M&E Specialist and international staff to conduct all monitoring. The Country Office undertakes regular visits to projects and adequate reporting on a regular basis on projects/programme, including tripartite review meeting, mid-and end-of-term evaluations. In addition, items procured and installed are verified and monitored during the reporting period to ensure that all equipment are being used for their intended purposes.
Human resources
UNDP is following the recommendations by the Nemeth Panel. Human resources practices are being followed as national staff are recruited on the basis of the best qualifications available, following interviewing of multiple candidates for each position. ,National staff are employed and paid directly by UNDP in keeping with international practice.
Financial controls and procurement
A new and more stringent Financial Internal Control Framework has been developed specifically for UNDP operations in the DPRK, and an International Finance Specialist has been posted to the Country Office.
Special attention given to equipment to ensure that procurement is in compliance with UN rules and regulations and export licences, and that no dual-use equipment. Procurement reviewed by the Procurement Support Office and the Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific at Headquarters, which also conduct regular, in-depth country scans.

Parameters to configure project analysis can be set in various places. Here is the hierarchy of parameters:
- Global analysis parameters, defined in the UI, will apply to all the projects
- Project analysis parameters, defined in the UI, will override global parameters
- Project analysis parameters, defined in project analysis configuration file or in analyzer configuration file, will override the ones defined in the UI
- Command line parameters, defined when launching an analysis, will override project analysis parameters
sonar.profile parameter via command line for a specific project, it will not be stored in the database. Then, a local analysis in Eclipse will be run against the default quality profile.
Mandatory Parameters
Default value
|Server URL
Default value
JDBC Connection URL
User for the JDBC Connection
Password for the JDBC Connection
Project Configuration
Default value
The project key that is unique for each project.
Name of the project that will be displayed on the web interface.
The project version.
Set through
<version> when using Maven.
Set the language of source code. If a plugin allows to analyze another language, the associated source code analyser can be activated with this property.
Comma-separated paths to directories containing sources.
Optional Parameters
Project Configuration
Default value
Description of the project.
Comma-separated paths to directories containing binaries (in case of Java: directories with class files).
Comma-separated paths to directories containing tests.
Comma-separated paths to files with third-party libraries (in case of Java: JAR files). Pattern can be used.
Note that * wildcard character is not supported for directories (only for files).
This property is used by rule engines during issues detection (mainly SonarQube engine and FindBugs engines which rely on bytecode). Having the bytecode of these libraries allows to get more information on coupling, possible null parameters when calling external APIs, etc. and thus getting more accuracy during issues detection.
Encoding of source files. Example of values: UTF-8, MacRoman, Shift_JIS. This property can be replaced by the standard property
The list of available encodings depends on your JVM. See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html.
System encoding
Sometimes, for security or other reasons, project sources must not be stored and displayed.
When starting to analyze a new project, you may want to feed your SonarQube instance with the quality snapshots of the last versions of this project. In order to get some information on quality trend over the last versions.
When moving from one database engine to another, it is highly recommended (even mandatory) to start from a fresh new database schema. In this case, you will lose your whole history. So, you may also want to feed the new SonarQube instance with some historical data.
To answer those use cases, you can use the
The process is the following:
Note: first analyze the latest version and then move in chronological order to the newest one.
Current date
Exclude files from analysis. See Project Administration for more details. This page also details
Some project modules should not be analyzed and consolidated with global project measures, for instance samples, integration tests or generated code.
Comma-separated list of the modules to analyse, all other modules are automatically ignored. Be careful: the root project must be added to the list.
Manage SCM branches. Two branches of the same project are considered as different projects in SonarQube.
Through the web interface, you can define as many quality profiles as you want and you can easily associate one of these quality profiles to a given project.
Default profile for the given language
To skip the computation of design metrics and dependencies.
Currently only available for Java.
When SonarQube needs a Maven phase or goal to be executed prior to the analysis, this parameter can be used. For example
Dynamic analysis relates to unit tests. By default (
See the Code Coverage by Unit Tests tutorial for details and examples.
To set the working directory for the SonarQube Runner or the SonarQube Ant Task (versions greater than 2.0).
