Project completion is scheduled for 2015.
Work Hours:
Monday - Friday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Saturday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. (with advance notice)
Sunday 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. (with advance notice)
Contractor Access to Campus & Off Campus Buildings:
Contractors are required by their contract with the university to observe all city ordinances with respect to site access.
Woodward Design Build is currently working six 10-hour days per week on the Yulman Stadium site. Work Monday through Friday begins at 7 a.m. and ends at 6 p.m. In consideration of concerns expressed by neighbors, Saturday work starts at 8 a.m. and ends at 7 p.m.
This work schedule covers the period of foundation/steel installation, which is expected to continue into early December.
Dear Tulane Neighbors,
As many of you know, the City and Tulane University committed to executing a Tulane Stadium Agreement before any permits would be utilized for the construction of Yulman Stadium. On Friday, January 25 after eight months of work and four community meetings attended by more than 500 neighbors, that agreement was executed. Shortly thereafter, the university was awarded a demolition permit to prepare the Yulman Stadium site for construction.
On Monday, January 28, Woodward Design Build will begin demolition work. This will include:
- Demolition of the practice field bleachers
- Demolition of the score board
- Demolition of the tennis court stands, including bathrooms
- Removal of the turf and track around the existing practice field
Woodward may also begin the removal and relocation of underground utilities and sidewalks in the stadium footprint this week.
All work will take place between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. If work on the stadium requires after hours or weekend work at any point, we will provide advance notice.
Later this week, we will announce a date for a community meeting to discuss construction of the stadium.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Paul Harang at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling (504) 988-3394.
The Lemoine Company will mobilize on Thursday, January 24 to begin site work at the Zimple Quad in preparation for pile-driving for the new Zimple House dormitory. Traffic congestion at Broadway and Zimple will occur periodically as workers move on and off site with materials, equipment, etc.
Construction is expected through July 2014.
Hours of Test Pile Operations:
Monday - Friday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
If work is required on Saturday or Sunday, 48 hour notice will be given.
Contractor Access to Campus & Off Campus Buildings:
Contractors are required by their contract with the university, to observe all city ordinances with respect to site access.

Starting on Tuesday, January 8, Woodward Design Build will begin testing the piles that were driven on the stadium site over the past few weeks. There will be no pile driving during this phase. The site will be active from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. We expect this work to be completed by the end of the week.
Woodward will also begin putting up a temporary fence around the construction site. This fence is being erected to secure the site for safety reasons. It will be an eight foot "hurricane type" chain-link fence that will surround the entire site.
We will also conduct a utility survey over the next two weeks. This week's survey work will consist largely of preliminary research, with minor excavations taking place next week.
Lastly, we will conduct cone penetrometer testing (CPT) on the tennis court. The slab has already been cut, and the CPT rig, fully extended, is twelve feet. This week's work will be quieter than the test pile driving.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Paul Harang at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling (504) 988-3394.
The Lemoine Company will be mobilizing their pile driver to perform pile testing on Monday, November 12 on the corner of Zimple and Broadway. The pile test will consist of 7 probe piles. This should take approximately two weeks to complete. Pre-drilling will be performed to eliminate the vibrations as much as possible. Also, vibration monitoring will be done while the piles are being driven. Contractors are required by their contract with the university to observe all city ordinances with respect to site access. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call. If you would like to keep abreast of the construction projects on campus, visit the Capital Projects & Real Estate Group website to subscribe to the construction-lists.
Hours of Test Pile Operations:
- Monday - Friday: 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
- Saturday /Sunday: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. (with 48 hour notice and university permission)
To prepare for the work to be done on Howard Tilton Memorial Library (HTML) as a result of damage sustained in Hurricane Katrina, two houses located on Zimple Street adjacent to the library will be demolished within the on January 2. In addition the staging for the construction on HTML has already started with the construction of a new Temporary Main Entrance which is scheduled to be completed by November.

Uterine growths are tissue enlargements of the female womb (uterus). Uterine growths can be caused by either harmless or dangerous conditions. Growths are sometimes referred to medically as masses or tumors. An example of a harmless (benign or non-cancerous) growth, which does not pose a threat, is a polyp of the cervix. Some growths, such as uterine fibroids, are benign, but they can still cause some annoying problems, such as bleeding. Other dangerous growths of the uterus include cancerous (malignant) tumors. While the majority of uterine growths are benign, cancers of the uterus do occur. This article will discuss the benign conditions that cause uterine growths or masses. Benign growths, or non-cancerous, growths include uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, and uterine polyps. Anatomy The uterus (or womb) is a hollow, pear-shaped organ that is located in a woman's pelvix between the bladder and the rectum. The narrow, lower portion of the uterus is the cervix; the broader, upper part is known as the corpus. The cervix forms the transition between the uterus and the vagina. The vagina, or birth canal, connects the uterus to the outside of the body. Female Illustration of Female Reproductive System What are uterine fibroids? Uterine fibroids are benign masses that grow in the uterus for unclear reasons. Uterine fibroids are commonly called by the shorter name, "fibroids." The medical term for a fibroid is leiomyoma, which refers to a proliferation or abnormal growth of smooth muscle tissue. Uterine fibroids arise from the tissue in the muscle layer of the wall of the uterus, called the myometrium. They are not usually cancerous.The reason why some women develop fibroids is not yet understood. Family history may play a role, since there is often a history of fibroids developing in women of the same family. For poorly understood reasons, fibroids are more common in African American women (who have a two to three fold increased risk) than in white Americans or Asian women. Fibroids are most common between the ages of 35 to 49. In addition, women who are overweight have an increased risk of fibroids. Most women with fibroids probably go through life not even knowing they have them, because fibroids are often found incidentally during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

When looking at the code quality of an application and willing to decide of an action plan, it is sometimes not sufficient to get a snapshot of the quality at a given time. You also need some visibility on the application history to take the right decision.
For example, let's say that you have defined a requirement that each application should have a coverage by unit tests of 60%. And let's say that one of you application has got 50% coverage. Without historical data, you can only conclude that the team does not write sufficient unit tests and that it should become the next focus of attention. But let's now say that a couple of months ago the coverage for this application was 20%... then you would probably conclude that although the requirement is not made yet, the team is doing a very good job and that no special focus needs to be put on unit tests. This is why having access to historical information is important.
Sonar provides this historical information through two features: the Time Machine and the Tendencies.
The Time Machine
The Time Machine is made of two generic widgets that can be instantiated and configured in any dashboard.
Timeline Widget
The Timeline widget provides the capability to display a chart containing historical data of up to 3 metrics. Passing your mouse over the timeline will display the different values.
This widget can be customized:
History Table Widget
The History Table widget provides the capability to display a table with the historical data up to 10 metrics:
This widget can be customized:
Default Dashboard
A default Time Machine dashboard comes out-of-the-box when installing Sonar. This is a combination of Timeline and History Table widgets:
What are Tendencies?
The tendencies are arrows that are displayed next to metrics in the dashboards. Those arrows show the trend for the measure.
How to Read Tendencies?
Sonar uses 5 levels to describe the tendency of a measure. Each level is represented by an arrow:
Strong increase
Medium increase
Medium decrease
Strong decrease
Sonar uses black ( ) arrows to represent tendencies on the quantitative metrics (the ones that are not reflecting quality of the code, for example number of lines of code).
Sonar uses red ( ) or green ( ) arrows to represent tendencies on the qualitative metrics (the ones that are reflecting quality of the code, for example code coverage). The red is used when the quality decreases, the green when it increases.
Of course, it is to be noted that if the percentage of duplicated lines decreases it will be represented in green by because it is considered as an improvement.
How are Tendencies Calculated?
To compute the tendencies, making a simple difference between the last two measures of each metric would not be accurate enough. Therefore Sonar implements a more advanced algorithm: the least squares method. The least squares is a linear regression analysis that helps removing the noise in order to determine a trend on discrete measures. In other words, Sonar takes all the measure taken in the last XX days, checks that the set of measures makes some sense (by testing the correlation rate), determines an estimated slope and displays it using the arrows.
It is possible to configure the tendencies by logging in as an administrator and going to Settings > Configuration > General Settings > Differential Views.
- To activate/deactivate the computation of tendencies, set the Skip tendencies property to true/false. Default is true.
- To configure the number of days used to compute tendencies, set the Tendency period property to the desired number of days. Default is 30.
Managing History
Whatever the reason (wrong quality profile, issue with analysis, etc.), it is possible to remove a snapshot to polish the Time Machine widgets. Note that the last snapshot can never be deleted.
At project level, go to Configuration > History.
For every snapshot, it is possible to manually:
- Add, rename or remove a version
- Add, rename or remove an event
House Cleaning
Removing Useless Data
When you do a new analysis of your project, some data that were present in Sonar will not be accessible anymore. For example the source code of the previous analysis, measures at file level... These data will automatically be removed at the end of a new analysis.
Removing Unnecessary Analysis
This is very useful to analyze frequently a project in Sonar to see progress on quality. It is also very useful to be able to see the trends over weeks / months / years. But when you are back in time, you do not really need the same level of details as you would for one week ago. The Database Cleaner aims to delete some rows in database to save some space and to improve overall performances. Here is its default configuration:
- it deletes all data older than 5 years
- it keeps a single monthly analysis by project over 1 year
- it keeps a single weekly analysis by project over 1 month
- analysis with an event are kept
These settings can be changed in the page Settings > Configuration > General Settings > Database Cleaner.

Baseball Season Ends with 7-5, 11-Inning Loss to #6 Barton
April 17, 2011
Story Courtesy of Barton Sports Information
WILSON, N.C. Freshman David Gibbons ripped a two-run single through the right side of the infield in the top of the 11th and Barton College was finally able to preserve the two-run lead in an 7-5 victory that eliminated No. 4 Pfeiffer University in the 2011 Conference Carolinas Baseball Tournament hosted by BC and the Wilson Tobs at historic Fleming Stadium.
The Bulldogs (16-25 Overall) led 3-1 in the ninth and 5-3 in the 10th but the Falcons (21-28) were able to rally both times before Barton was finally able to secure the victory on the third try. Barton plays a third elimination game against second-seeded and No. 30 nationally ranked Limestone College on Sunday at 5 p.m., for a trip into the championship game(s) on Monday.
Junior shortstop Chris Rawlings had three of the Bulldogs 12 hits. Gibbons, senior Matt Willis and sophomore Ryan Daughtry all connected for two hits. Daughtry drove in a game-high four runs with a pair of two-run singles in the first and the 10th.
Senior starter Hunter Meekins pitched into the 10th inning and had two chances to finish off a complete-game victory but Pfeiffer prevented it with two late inning comebacks.
The Falcons forced extra innings in the ninth on an RBI-triple by freshman Jon Gray followed by a high-chopper to second by senior Eric Shoemaker. The second baseman attempted a throw home on the fielders choice by Gray slid across the plate before the tag was applied.
Barton regained a two-run edge with Daughtrys second two-run single in the top of the 10th, before Saints freshman Kevin Price deadlocked the score for the second and final time with a two-run single just inside the right field corner foul line in his only plate appearance. Price pinch ran and scored in the ninth.
Seniors Aaron Watkins and Matt Willis sparked Bartons final scoring drive with a pair of singles before Gibbons placed his game-winning two-run base knock just out of reach of the first baseman and into right field.
BC jumped out to a 3-0 lead as the first four batters of the game singled. Daughtry was the fourth consecutive hit, a two-run single to right as Barton led in every inning. All 12 of the Bulldogs hits were singles.
Limestones lone run in the first eight innings off Meekins was an unearned tally in the third. Meekins hurled 137 pitches in the 9 1/3 inning no-decision. Meekins scattered nine hits and struck out five.
Barton chased Pfeiffer senior starter John McDaniel after one inning before classmate Ethan Marsh kept the Falcons in the game with 8 1/3 innings of effective relief. After allowing a two-out single in the second, Marsh did not allow a hit for seven consecutive innings retiring 22 of the next 24 batters allowing just one walk and one hit batsman along the way.
Sophomore Christian Oliver (3-2) was credited with the win in relief of Meekins. Oliver retired the final five batters he faced including ending the contest with his only strikeout. Graduate student John Sullivan (0-3) suffered the loss allowing the final two Barton runs in an inning of relief.

You know it's true: Senior dogs are the best. As much as we can't resist puppies, there is something about an old pooch that really makes our hearts sing. In honor of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, we're counting down the top five reasons why old dogs rock.
1. What you see is what you get. Older dogs are open books—from the start, you'll know important things like their full-grown size, personality and grooming requirements.
2. Seniors are super-loving. Adopted dogs already in their golden years are devoted and grateful. They create an instant bond that cannot be topped!
3. They settle in quickly. Older dogs have been around the block and already learned what it takes to get along with others and become part of a pack. They'll be part of the family in no time!
4. Seniors enjoy easy livin'. Couch potato, know thyself. Consider adopting a laid-back canine retiree rather than a high-energy young dog who needs constant monitoring.
5. They're CUTE! Need we say more?
Did you adopt a senior dog? Tell us about your elder states-pooch in the comments below.
Brandy was 13 years old when she became part of our household. Her human family were getting divorced, and she was going to be "put to sleep." Make that "killed"--I hate the euphemism. She was old and crippled, but still spirited. As spirited as a golden retriever gets. I had her in my car, and we were on our way to the vet's office before her former human got to the end of the street. She began to get treatment for her terrible arthritis and her other less serious ailments. She got a warm comfortable bed inside the house instead of being relegated to an open garage with a thin rug. Although she howled when first left with me--she knew she was being abandoned by the person she had lived with all her life--she quickly became a member of the family, the matriarch in fact. She was the eldest of my four dogs, and they all showed her the respect due to an elder.
Brandy was only with us for a year, but I feel good thinking that her last year just may have been the best year of her life. She gave us so much, not least of which is the knowledge that adopting a senior dog brings wonderful rewards to the adopter.
I adopted my German Shepard, Kristi, when she was 13. She weighed 60 lbs., and looked like she didn't have much time left. I knew that I could make her remaining days wonderful. Well, in March she will be 16, she weighs a very healthy 90 lbs., and is the Love of My Life!
We now have a 10+ year old adopted dog. Her family moved to Europe and didn't take her with. We have had her for 3 years. The little girl we had before her was 10+ when we adopted her, she was a stray from Chicago and not spayed and had tumors. We took care of her medical problems and my husband said "no heroics" Well she developed cancer in her bladder and we took her to the UofI Vet School for treatment. She lived with us for only 10 months, but they were probably the best 10 months of her life. We miss her very much and would not have done anything different. HURRAY FOR SENIOR DOGS!
I love old dogs they are great! I remember one who was at the New Rochelle Shelter. They had a big old dog that would lay in the front of the building enjoying the sun close to the street. The first time I saw him I walked closer and closer and he never moved...I was worried he was hit by a car and unconsious but as soon as I got one foot close to him he rolled over and gave me his belly to rub. I was so happy he was OK and rubbed his belly a long time. He was a great old dog too!
I do not agree with some of this. I absolutely adore older dogs and will likely never again adopt a pup. Older dogs, once settled in, are incredibly loving and thankful and all the way around great additions to loving homes. However, older dogs DO need more time to settle in because they're more set in their ways; they do NOT immediately embrace new homes because they tend to miss their previous homes more and are hurt/disappointed deeper. They require a bit more patience early on and don't offer that instant gratification that you get from much younger dogs. But ohhh.... when they finally come around to trusting again, there's absolutely nothing better! Yes, old dogs rock!
My mother's little dog was found tied to the fence at a shelter in Florida. He was already an elderly dog. My mother owned him for several years, but when she passed away, I had him vanned up here from Florida. He has lived here in RI for almost 5 years now and is still going strong even though he is in his late teens. He has never given me one moment to regret that I gave him his last "forever" home.
My daughter adopted a 13 year old male shepherd from a rescue that was shutting down. The lady called her a week later to convince her to take another male shepherd that was 4 years old but has severe colitis. They are all so happy now.
We adopted an older dog from the shelter. He was an 8-year-old Cockapoo who had been turned in by his owner. When we took him to the vet the following day, we were told he had kennel cough and when x-rays were taken, one lung was completely filled with fluid. He either had pneumonia or was going into heart failure. The vet said that if I didn't want him, she would take him. It took three months to get him healthy. He does have heart disease, but he shows me so much love. I tell him every day he will never be in a dark place again. Elderly people should adopt older dogs. You have committed 15 years to a puppy, and too many dogs end up in shelters after their owners have died, and the kids don't want the dogs. We have also adoped an older Cocker Spaniel, and we are the fourth family she has had, but we will be her last. My vet told me when he dies, he wants to come back as one of my dogs.
My husband and I have adopted several senior dogs. Ziggy was a puppy mill mom who was scheduled to have her life ended. She gave us several more years of fun than she would have otherwise had. Mandy was also destined to be put down as her former owners were moving and didn't want to take her to the new home. She was a jewell and like Ziggy, had so much to give. Then came Puff. Her owner passed away and she spent a month in the local animal shelter before we learned of her plight. She has so much spunk and character and in spite of her epilepsy, she never fails to warm our hearts. The length of time they are with us is not the issue but what we learn from them and the joy we share in their twilight years is the gift. Never pass up the opportunity to adopt a senior dog or cat. I've also adopted senior horses and learned volumes from them. Then there was Cleo and Jube and Jamboodi… Well, you get the picture. Seniors are a gift.
I saw this photo of the "old dog" and recognized my rescued dog. She was found on a dairy farm and my husband said we would take her since the family was heading to the humane shelter. Cassie, our old dog, is now 12 years and looks identical to this sweet dog. She is the best. God brought her to us when my old cocker spaniel would be leaving us. Thank you Lord for filling the gap with this special baby.

GARETH DUNCAN brought you live commentary from the Test in Cape Town.
80 mins: Argentina are awarded a penalty in their 22m area. Hernandez clears the ball into touch as the final hooter blows. Disappointing end to the match for the Boks. SPRINGBOKS BEAT THE PUMAS 27-6!
76 mins: Time is running out at Newlands, and it seems the Boks are going to fall short of that four-try bonus point.
73 mins: The Boks have clear control of the game, but are struggling to turn this ascendancy into points.
69 mins: The Boks are breaking the Pumas defensive line regularly, but not enough support play. They're also losing ball at breakdown too often.
66 mins: The flood gates have opened. The game has opened up and both teams are running the ball dangerously.
62 mins: Interesting sub. Mvovo is called off, and Ruan Pienaar comes on to play scrumhalf. Hougaard shifted to wing. Is this the way he it should be?
57 mins: SPRINGBOK TRY! And it's a brilliant try. Morne Steyn puts in a cross kick with two chasers following the ball. And it's wing Bryan Habana who grabbs the pill, and falls to score. Steyn converts, another difficult conversion. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 27-6!
55 mins: The Boks forcing play into Argentine red zone. Pumas struggling under pressure as the knock-on ball 10m from the tryline. Heyneke Meyer's men have a good platform to score from.
53 mins: The Boks not going for goal from long distances, intent is clear that they want four tries. Four-try bonus points against Argentina will be crucial in Rugby Championship title race. The Boks need more composure on attack though.
50 mins: A poor clearance sees the Pumas under pressure in their own 22m area. The Boks enjoy a clean lineout, but lose the ball forward in the first tackle.
47 mins: Herandez misses another penalty moments later. Argentine driving maul looking very dangerous.
45 mins: This time, Hernandez misses. The Pumas No 10 pushes his kick wide.
43 mins: The Pumas have a lineout at the halfway line, and they show they can also produce a strong driving maul. They force play up field, and win a penalty in a kickable position.
39 mins: The hooter blows as the Boks attack from a scrum in centre field. They get three good phases in, but lose possession after a poor De Villiers offload. The Pumas hack the ball forward, but the Boks manage to boot the ball into touch. And that's the end of the first half.
37 mins: The Boks find themselves in another try-scoring position, following a good touch finder from Morne Steyn. However, this time, the Pumas defend well, killing off the ball at a breakdown and winning the feed to a scrum.
34 mins: Hernandez is proving to be magician with the boot, he has a superb tactical kicking game. If only the Pumas could capitalise on these favourable field positions.
32 mins: PUMAS PENALTY! After being well restricted by a firm Bok defence, Pumas get awarded a penalty as the hosts are caught offside. Hernandez slots the three-pointer. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 20-6!
31 mins: Another injury for the Boks, and another Du Plessis brother. Jannie du Plessis limps off with an injury after bumping heads with the Beast, and Pat Cilliers gets an early run off the bench. It's only a temporary blood replacement.
28 mins: SPRINGBOK TRY! Boks using their driving mauls to great effect, and the Pumas are struggling to stand firm against the hosts' powerful pack. Flank Marcell Coetzee spots space out wide and peels off to touch down in the corner. Morne Steyn finds the target from a difficult angle. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 20-3!
26 mins: Argentina showing poor discipline midway through the first half. They're pinned on halfway, this time for a breakdown foul. Could we see a long shot from one of the Steyns? No… De Villiers wants to attack and tells Morne Steyn to kick for touch.
24 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Morne Steyn gets a good touch finder, and the Boks win a penalty shortly after the resulting lineout as they catch Argentina offside. Steyn converts the easy penalty. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 13-3!
23 mins: Wing Lwazi Mvovo jumps high for an up and under, and gets tackled in the air. Receives some medical attention, but gets up and returns to action. Penalty awarded to the Boks.
22 mins: Hernandez tries another up and under, but this time, it's an easy take in for Kirchner, who calls for the mark. The Bulls man then drives the ball back into Pumas' territory. Good game so far for the fullback.
20 mins: Argentina build on the counter-attack, and tighthead prop Jannie du Plessis is pinned for a late shoulder charge. Poor by the experienced front-rower.
16 mins: SPRINGBOK TRY! Argentina lose the ball forward after the restart, and Boks have attacking scrum. Pumas are pinned for early engagement again, and Hougaard takes the quick tap. After a strong carry from inside centre Frans Steyn and flank Willem Alberts, Kirchner is put into space outwide and crashes over the try-line. Steyn converts the extras. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 10-3!
14 mins: PUMAS PENALTY! Hernandez scores Argentina's first points of the match from right in front of the posts. SCORES ARE LEVEL AT 3-3!
13 mins: Great up and under from Hernandez after frustrating period of play for Argentina, and well taken in by fullback Zane Kirchner. However, the tourists manage to turnover possession and they go left on the counter. But Boks force tourists into touch. Referee Steve Walsh awards Argentina a penalty for a transgression before then.
9 mins: The Bok lineout is well composed and doesn't succumb to the early pressure. Hougaard clears play to the halfway line.
8 mins: Argentina now enjoy a good spell of possession. Flyhalf Juan Martin Hernandez capitalises and boots a good touch finder into the Boks' red zone.
4 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! No advanatage, and Steyn will get his first pot at goal. And its successful. Bad news though, as hooker Bismarck du Plessis is carried off the field with what looks like a serious injury. Adriaan Strauss gets an early run. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 3-0!
3 mins: Pumas are pinned for an early engagement, and the Boks attack from a quick tap. From the second phase, skipper Jean de Villiers runs into space and offloads to wing Bryan Habana, who rushes deep into the Argentine 22m area. The Pumas are penalised for a breakdown infringement.
2 mins: Scrumhalf Francois Hougaard executes his first box kick, just inside the Pumas' half. It doesn't go far, but Argentina lose the ball forward. Boks get feed to the first scrum.
KICK-OFF: Springbok flyhalf Morne Steyn will start the game, and he does so with a high kick-off. Argentina gather possession, and clear play from their territory.

Casey Anthony has been venturing out in public on a routine basis lately, going unnoticed as the Tot Mom is virtually unrecognizable due to her extreme weight gain, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
Anthony has been in hiding in Florida since she was acquitted of murdering her two year old daughter, Caylee. Casey was recently baptized, and is embracing religion to signify a new beginning in her life.
PHOTOS: Casey Anthony Released From Jail
"Casey has been venturing out on a much more frequent basis recently because she is almost unrecognizable," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. "Casey has gained a great deal of weight in the past six months and her face is extremely puffy. She hasn't needed to wear a disguise because of the physical transformation. Casey is finding comfort in food and she is clearly eating a lot. She typically goes out at night to rent DVDs and pick up food to go from restaurants. She is very careful to not linger anywhere when she does and tries not to make eye contact with anyone. Casey doesn't feel safe anywhere and just wants to leave the country and begin a new life."
PHOTOS: Celebs Involved In Murder
The one time accused murderer is currently on probation for writing bad checks and is required to live in Florida until it formally ends in a few months, but Anthony's legal woes are far from over. She is being sued by Zanaida Gonzalez for defamation after Casey said a woman with a similar name kidnapped Caylee.
The trial is scheduled to begin in January and Anthony will be called as a witness by Zanaida's lawyers. "We were finally able to successfully serve a subpoena on Thursday to Casey Anthony's lawyers, ordering her to appear at the civil trial which is scheduled to begin in January 2013," John Dill previously told RadarOnline.com.
PHOTOS: Casey Anthony's Secret Wild Life
"We had been trying for months to serve her and we were finally able to get it done this week after a lot of legal wrangling because Casey wouldn't accept the subpoena at the location she has been hiding out in. Our client is thrilled that Ms. Anthony has now been formally served and it's a successful start in the proceeding," the lawyer stated.
According to reports, Casey Anthony is "annoyed" that she has to testify at the upcoming trial but Zenaida's lawyer minces no words, saying Anthony has only herself to blame.
PHOTOS: Celebrities Who Died In Bizarre Circumstances
"Too bad! Yes, we heard that Ms. Anthony was annoyed that she was going to have to testify at the trial," Dill tells RadarOnline.com. "This was all brought on by Ms. Anthony herself, she is the one that started down this road and it's time that she be held to answer for her actions. Zenaida's life has been absolutely upended by Ms. Anthony's actions, so, no, I don't feel bad that she is upset. Again, she brought this all on herself."

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and that means it's time to celebrate all things canine and get more homeless pups into forever homes. To get the party started, we've prepared a special Adopt a Shelter Dog Month section on ASPCA.org devoted to the lovable shelter pooch.
Speaking of Pet Adoption…
Earlier this year, we polled hundreds of pup parents—some who adopted from shelters, and others who purchased their puppies at pet stores—about their experiences during and after acquiring their four-legged family members. You'd think that the pet store-pup parents, who got exactly the puppy they wanted, would be happier, but that's not the case!
Our poll showed that people who adopted a dog from a shelter were much more likely to be pleased with their experience than those who purchased a puppy from a pet store. Shelter dog adopters are also almost twice as likely, compared to pet store customers, to feel that the process by which they got their dog was honest and transparent.
Here at the ASPCA, we've long been convinced that shelter dogs are awesome and that adoption is way better than buying a puppy from a pet store. Now we have the data to prove it!
"The ASPCA's research confirms that adoption really is the best option when it comes to adding a new dog to your home," says Cori Menkin, Senior Director of the ASPCA Puppy Mills Campaign. "Most pet store puppies come from puppy mills, and we continue to urge those who are looking for a new companion to adopt a dog from a shelter instead of buying a puppy from a pet store. By doing so, you're not only giving a shelter pup a new chance at life, but you're also helping fight puppy mill cruelty."
"And once you do adopt," adds Menkin, "be sure not to buy any of your new pets' supplies at pet stores that sell puppies!" Take the No Pet Store Puppies Pledge today.
Get Involved
There are tons of ways to get involved this October, ranging from sending a single tweet to volunteering at your local shelter. Head over to ASPCA.org to read all about it, and remember—there are millions of wonderful, adorable dogs in our country who need homes, so please opt to adopt!
I wasn't going to get another dog, but my daughter rescued this about 2 and a half year old intact male German Shepherd off a very busy street in a large southwest city. He had no chip, no collar, no ID tags,&no obedience training. I could not resist adopting this lovable, gentle boy. I am a sucker for GSDs. He is now, 4 years later, and many obedience trainings later, my best friend and a therapy dog as well.
I wanted to adopt my dog and ended up buying. I really support adoption and think everyone should adopt, but I ended up with the most amazing dog in the world. You just never know
I am a foster failure, I fostered my dog from a local shelter and ultimately adopted her. A little pit mix, she had been used as a bait dog and I have had her almost 9 years, she is the sweetest, smartest, best dog I've ever had. And I've had many dogs.
I just rescued a shelter dog who was a puppy mill survivor. He is a chihuahua who has had a rough life but he is the sweetest most lovable dog. He is nine years old (estimated), suffering from slight cataracts, kneecap displacement, and has no teeth but that hasn't stopped him from wiggling his way into my heart. I love him more and more every day and am grateful to the shelters for rescuing him and giving him a chance.
Three days after my husband died, I found Isabella on Petfinders. She was found on a street in Kentucky and was with a foster family. She is a Yorkie-wire haired terrier mix and weighs about 12 pounds with long legs (like me). She gives me so much love and comfort everyday, and I thank God I saw that little face in her profile and fell in love. Shelter dogs are the best companion with no diva attitudes. Her Vet says she is in excellent conidtion and it only cost me $250.00 to adopt her with her shots, spaying and a chip.
my dog came from a petstore. There were lots of reasons for this. I refuse to put my name because last time i commented on something like this I was bashed beyond belief. Not really convincing me to change my mind when you're a nazi about your beliefs and rather impolite. My dog is awesome. No health problems, no issues. He's a healthy 7 year old Shih Tzu and I'd do it again. My last dog was also a pet store dog, she was super healthy, lived to be 15 years old, which is pretty darn good for a Retriever. Both of them were super smart, well behaved, and healthy, so you can get lucky. i support adoption. I've adopted dogs in the past, but sometimes shelters don't have what your looking for (or what you need to fit in your apartment.)
I have saved/rescued 2 dogs from puppymills and 1 dog from a high kill shelter. I love all 3.
I adopted my shelter dog 9 1/2 years ago and he is my best friend, my protector, my beloved dog, Shiraz. He is a black Lab/chow mix who was unwanted because he was a wild young thing who hated other dogs and wouldn't walk at all nice on a leash. I got a gentle leader and he took to it right away. We still walk about 3 times a day for a mile or 2. He's got a fabulous sense of humor, is wicked smart, and is loyal and loving. He's truly unique and I'm so glad that I walked into a shelter and asked,"which one needs me the most?" and was lead to my Shiraz. Please opt to adopt! There's someone out there that needs you desperately and you will feel that love for all of it's life!
I adpoted my boy from the local pound. He is a great dog. Needs some training to stop the biting and to walk nice on a leash. But other than those couple issues...He's be awesome.
I recused a 9-year old Jack Russell Terrier.

Your Clitoris Is the Size of a 'Medium Zucchini,' and Other Vagina Facts You Didn't Know
Here's a biology pop quiz question. What is the average size of a clitoris in a human female?
A. the size of a chickpea
B. the size of a mini pickle
C. the size of a medium zucchini.
Unless you've been paying particularly close attention to the gynecological literature, you're probably not going to say C. And yet that is the correct answer. Sure, the externally visible part of the clitoris is puny, but that is literally the tip of an iceberg that extends deep beneath the pubis, five inches down either wall of the vagina, consists of six separate parts, and carries more nerve endings than the [...]

In October 2008, a month before the movie "Twilight" debuted, one of Vanessa Conradi's co-workers gave her the book and suggested she might like it.
"I asked what it was about and he said, 'Well, it's about this girl who falls in love with a vampire in high school,'" Conradi says. "And I said, 'That sounds so stupid.'"
A week or two later, though, Conradi picked up the book, started to read and could not put it down.
"I was like, 'Oh my God, this is the greatest love story,'" she says. "And then the obsession began."
The 36-year-old from Rancho Cucamonga, who works in Orange, tells this story on Monday from a room in the JW Marriott Los Angeles Hotel high above the Nokia Theatre in the L.A. Live entertainment complex.
In a few hours, Conradi, her friends and hundreds of fellow fans would gather in bleachers outside the theater to cheer actors Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and other stars of the movies as they arrived to walk the red carpet for the premiere of the fifth and final movie in the Twilight Saga.
That movie, "Breaking Dawn: Part 2," opened in theaters everywhere late Thursday night, and with it the final chapter in The Passion of the Twi-hards will be written, as a journey that started in 2005 with Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" novel wraps up after four books and five movies worth of vampires and werewolves, romance and battles, love and undeath.
And we wondered: How will these fans who packed book stores and theaters on premiere nights, argued endlessly whether Team Edward or Team Jacob was most worthy of their love (and that of Bella), wrote fan fiction on websites, and elbowed aside skinny comic-book nerds at Comic-Con, how would they cope in the darkness after "Twilight"?
So we went out to meet a few of the fans, to talk them about what brought them into the "Twilight" family, and how life will change now that their stories are done.
When "New Moon," the second movie, premiered in 2009 Conradi had dived deep enough into the "Twilight" world to figure out how to attend the red carpet premiere. Around that time she also started a blog, the Twilight Sisterhood, and started meeting people from all over.
"We got a lot of girls who came together," Conradi says. "Most of us were a little bit older. And we all came together to get giddy and talk about the movies."
One of the women she met through her blog was Emma Preston, who lived in Runcorn, a suburb of Liverpool, in the United Kingdom. When the third movie, "Eclipse," was about set to arrive in 2010, Preston and Conradi were chatting about how much fun it would be to attend that red carpet event together.
"I'd always wanted to go to a big 'Twilight' thing," says Preston, 22, as she puts the finishing touches on a huge "Twilight" poster she and Conradi are making in the hotel room. But with not that much money, it didn't seem possible.
"Then she said, 'Well, I'll put you up,'" Preston says, and with that, the Internet friends met in real life as well, camping out together for a few nights before the premiere in order to snag a spot along the red carpet.
"You get to see (the actors) and get autographs," Conradi says of the appeal of those events. "All of that sounded so appealing, even for a 30-year-old."
Preston came back the next two years – this final premiere is her third in Los Angeles. Conradi's group this time also included Nandi Olowo, a 17-year-old from West Hills, who admits she's more of a Kristen Stewart fan than a Twi-hard in general, and Vicki and Natalie Figueroa, a mother and daughter from Whittier.
They all have stories about red carpets past. Preston, a tall woman, got a hug from Robert Pattinson, a shorter man, which ended up with his head on her chest like some darling baby boy. Olowo came to the "Eclipse" premiere with a sign that said "Kristen Be My BFF," which caught the eye of Stewart who then gave her a pair of tickets to the movie premiere. Natalie Figueroa, 16, skipped school for the premiere of "Breaking Dawn: Part 1" and got busted when she landed on TV and in OK! Magazine's coverage of the event.
Now, having camped out for three nights outside the Los Angeles Convention Center in a "Twilight" tent city of fellow fans, the hotel room their refuge for warming and cleaning up, the five were fixing their hair and makeup and posters and signs for one last "Twilight" premiere.

Springbok forwards coach Johann van Graan says the time has come for Andries Bekker to establish himself as the world-class lock he has the potential to be.
Bekker debuted for the Springboks in 2008 and was soon being touted as the natural successor to the mercurial Victor Matfield. Indeed he pushed Matfield hard in 2009 and 2010, but was never able to consistently dominate him, the veteran schooling his student in their most high-profile encounters.
Matfield would always speak of Bekker's technical ability in glowing terms, but privately he always felt he had an advantage over him mentally. Matfield would seldom be found wanting under the sternest examination. Bekker, it is felt within Springbok coaching circles, lacks the mental toughness to match his appreciable technical skill.
Certainly a now chronic back injury and an all too public breakdown of his marriage have contributed to his stuttering ascent, but his capacity to deal with the highest pressure situations remains the biggest stumbling block to him moving out of the shadow the retired Matfield still casts.
Van Graan worked closely with Matfield at the Bulls for nearly a decade and was his right-hand man in many of the late nights spent dissecting the opposition's lineouts and formulating plans to engineer their demise in this facet of play. He is among those best placed to make the comparison between the two. He intimated that Bekker still has some way to travel in his journey to Matfield's standard and suggested that this is a defining period in his Test career.
'Victor was a once in a lifetime player. He brought new things to the lineout and his record speaks for itself,' Van Graan told keo.co.za. 'I think the 2010 Super Rugby final in Orlando at that stage pitted the two best lineout jumpers in the game against each other. Andries has had some injuries since. Now it's time for him to make his mark.'
He did, however, make no secret of his admiration for Bekker, who is likely to start against Argentina at Newlands on Saturday and, fitness permitting, retain the jersey for the remainder of the tournament.
'Andries brings experience and stability. Credit must got to Juandré Kruger who ran the lineout well against England in a short time. Andries in 2010 and 2011 showed his potential to become one of the great locks of all time. I haven't worked with him a lot but I've been very impressed. He is extremely tall which is a self-evident benefit, he understands the workings of lineouts and as a technical decision maker he has come to the fore. There's good competition between him and Juandré which is a good thing, as is the fact that they've both been under Victor's wing at different stages of their careers.'
Bekker alone can shape his Test career. Keo.co.za understands that he continues to be hampered by his back ailment and is far from confident in his ability to stay injury-free for an extended period. This has seen him consider cashing in on the limited time he may have left before the injury worsens to the point of forcing his retirement, by taking up one of a number of lucrative offers available to him to play abroad.
The Stormers and Springboks' medical staff have tailored a programme that seeks to circumvent the triggers for his breakdowns. This, they hope, will give him longevity. They've panelbeated his body and I suspect the success or failure thereof will have a telling effect on his mental strength.
As a starting point he needs an extended run of games without suffering a recurrence of the injury. From there he will be better placed to make the mark Van Graan hopes he will.

Softball Earns 3-2 Game One Win; Shutout 4-0 in Game Two by Francis Marion
April 10, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Pfeiffer University and visiting Francis Marion University split a non-conference softball doubleheader on Tuesday afternoon. The Lady Falcons improve to 18-31 on the year with a 3-2 win in game one while the Patriots move to 29-13 after a 4-0 shutout in game two.
Francis Marion jumped on the board with runs in the first and second on an Olivia Ferguson RBI-single and Sara Broderick run-scoring single. Pfeiffer's three all came in the fourth frame on three-straight RBI-singles from Lindsay Russell, Melanie Conklin and Emily Workman.
Despite making five errors defensively, the Lady Falcons did enough for Russell to earn the win going all seven frames in the circle allowing two runs on four hits.
Errors would come back to haunt Pfeiffer in game two as three more led to four Patriot runs in the sixth. Ashley Jaramillo had a two-run single in the frame while Tristan Faile picked up the other run batted in. All three Pfeiffer errors, eight total on the day, were committed in the sixth.
Pfeiffer now turns to their final home contest of the season on Thursday taking on Limestone in Conference Carolinas action. First pitch with live stats begins at 3:00 p.m.

When writing a script, it may be unwieldy to call the script defining the whole classpath at the command line, e.g.
groovy -cp %JAXB_HOME%\bin\activation.jar;%JAXB_HOME%\bin\... myscript.groovy
You can go the other way - let the script itself find the jars it needs and add them to the classpath before using them. To do this, you need to
1. get the groovy rootloader
def loader = this.class.classLoader.rootLoader
2. introduce the necessary uls to groovy rootloader. Use whatever logic suits your situations to find the jars / class directories
3. Load the classes you need:
4. To instantiate the classes, use the newInstance method:
Note that newInstance is on steroids when called from groovy. In addition to being able to call the parameterless constructor (as w/ Java's Class.newInstance()), you can give any parameters to invoke any constructor, e.g.
You can also pass a map to initialize properties, e.g.
The downside of using this approach is that you can't inherit from the classes you load this way - classes inherited from need to be known before the script starts to run.
2 Comments
What about loading classes defined in groovy scripts?
Seems to me that this would hold some promise for getting around the problem of TemplateServlet not recognizing 'import' statements in Groovlet code.
Could you possibly show how that could be done?
My groovy fu is a bit weak.
When I try the code you gave, the script ends (with no error message of any kind) at the very first line,
def loader = this.class.classLoader.rootLoader
oddly, the entire code works just fine when I run the same script at the command line.

Anyone used this? Aerobie Epic. Saw a guy with one the other day and he was forehand throwing it really far.
Anyone used this? Aerobie Epic. Saw a guy with one the other day and he was forehand throwing it really far.
Personally I have not thrown one but from what I hear its a love or hate disc. People use it for overhands and tune it to get certain results. When thrown properly it barrels over and soars for some insane D. I see alot of people trade/buy them then turn around and do the same a week or so later.
Like Kao said it's a love hate disc. It can be bent to tune in to a specific style throw. I have one really more for novelty more than anything else. I have mine tuned in to do two complete barrel roles on a tomahawk and then flatten out and fly upside down. I really only use it to tommy when I need to get through a super tight gap a ways off, it flies with about a 15 foot wide barrel roll.
I can also put another bend in it that gives me a ridiculously long forehand roller (for me at least). It's too difficult to tune in for a consistent backhand or roller. 95% of the people you meet that throw it use it solely for overhand shots. I got mine for $3 off Ebay.
Check out http://www.discgolfreview.com/discs/...obieepic.shtml for some more info on it.
If you do get one to use overhand be careful of trees, the plastic does not take the abuse too well.
I'm lucky to throw it once every 10 rounds or so but I have a buddy that throws his 10-12 times a round. Whenever one of us donks the throw the other one always says "EPIC FAIL". It's also great when I play RIPT because most people haven't thrown it so I always find a way to play a card for them to throw it and shank a shot.
hate this disc. i hid mine from myself at iroquios park. tossed it into the water to the right of hole two. it is red and says "if found, throw in fire". If you want it get it. i'm sure it's just a puddle now. I did use it for thumbers, but i can use any other driver for that.

The ASPCA is excited to announce the launch of a new farm animal campaign focusing on the plight of chickens raised for meat (often called "broiler" chickens). Roughly 8.5 billion chickens are raised in the U.S. annually, most on squalid factory farms where there is no government oversight of their treatment.
The issue is not just the treatment of chickens, though: it's that modern chickens are selectively bred to grow so large, so fast, that they struggle to simply move or stand.
Today's chickens are bred to have such massive and disproportionate bodies that they often collapse and spend most of their lives lying helplessly in their own waste. Many have open wounds, which act as gateways to infections that can be passed on to people. Don't be fooled: Most chickens who wind up on American dinner plates bear no resemblance to the healthy-looking, active birds you may have been led to expect.
The ASPCA is calling on the chicken industry to do better—but to make sure they're paying attention, we need to show them that people like you care about how chickens are raised, too.
Visit TruthAboutChicken.org to learn more, then add your voice to the chorus of concerned Americans asking the chicken industry to change its inhumane practices.
By insisting on slower-growing chickens and better conditions, we can reduce suffering and raise healthier birds who may be less likely to spread dangerous infections like salmonella. But to get the chicken industry to move in the right direction, they need to see that people like you are paying attention—and counting on the industry to do what's right for chickens and consumers.
We need you on our side: Please tell the chicken industry it's time for slower-growing chickens raised in safer, more humane conditions. Speak out today by adding your name to our Truth About Chicken petition.
They are not wrong. Take a look at some research that has been done. This is a real issue. There are definitely those that are the exception as you mentioned but the problem does exist. Please do your research.
Yes it is true, definitely about battery chicken farms; however what about the farms that are supposedly "grass-fed, free-range, organic" chicken farms? Do they count too?
To help answer your question, the original ASPCA email states: "Did you know that 99% of chickens raised for food—even many labeled 'organic' or 'free range'...." I'll be buying nothing but that which is locally produced and verifiable. I guess there are all kinds of people, even in the organic community, so, sadly, some producers follow market trends just because there's money to be made, and not for ethical reasons.
Some farmers do not care about their animals,all they care is about the profit.
I would like to point out that profit is a direct consequence of care. Think of it this way... if you were manufacturing and selling computers would you leave out parts or break the keyboard and crack the screen? The answer is no, you wouldn't because nobody would purchase your product and you have no way to make a living... If we do not provide the best possible care for our animals we lose money and risk not being able to provide for ourselves and our families (yes I said family, 98% of all US farms are family owned). I am not here to downgrade anyone and I am not trying to pull you one way or another, I just ask you to please research both sides of the argument and base your thinking on what you feel to be the true facts. Thank you
You are but one state - what about the others - I'll bet you don't have dog fights there either
Of course we don't have dogfights. Are you saying you do. If so you are low life coward that has no heart

No way would i travel close to 50 miles just to play a 9 hole course. Don't even think i would hit it up if i was passing by either. I feel i have played all of the greater Louisville courses including Jims

That sounds right. ScottyB would definitely know if he's around.
Where we have strong emotions, we're liable to fool ourselves. Carl Sagan
Don't knock 9 hole courses...I haven't played linza or harry hill yet but plan to
Some 9 holers are great, some have dual pads which practically make them 18 hole layouts
When I played courses around southern indy I played 5 nine holers some were beginners, some were okay, and one was awesome in some ways better then a few of the 18 holers I played
If your in the area hit me up, I live on the other side of the lake, so its about 15 mins away and I have a pass.
I don't know I'd go as far as saying Patoka Lake is better than Sevrien because it's a beast in it's own right. I am partial to it, as I should be, but comparing courses has never been my thing! Give it a try, hopefully there will be another course inside the gates of Patoka soon, WITH WATER!!

Definitely worth the trip the trip from Louisville, Evansville, Indy...
(No offense to Martin & Adam of course - Seviren is great in its own right. I just feel that strongly about Patoka.)
Also, Mike... your comment of "I wouldn't travel 50 miles for a 9 hole" comment really irked me. A great course is a great course, regardless of the number of holes.
There are very few courses I won't play. The main reasons I won't play a course are that it is in a less than desirable part of town or there are other, better courses in that town. The fact of the matter is, regardless if it is small 9 hole beginner course or a 5+ course complex, someone has put a lot of time into that course, from the very beginning getting it approved, to the clearing and install, and all the way past into the upkeep. In a lot of smaller communities, that little 9 hole course is all they have and someone is very proud of that course.
So don't crap on someone's hard work because it's not up to your "18 hole standards".

I have not played Harry Hill but have heard a lot of great things about it. Being nine holes I would try to play more than one round to make the drive worthwhile.
The number of holes makes no difference to me because I love the sport.

GAVIN RICH, writing in SA Rugby magazine, says Meyer Bosman has added a new dimension to the Sharks backline.
Up until last year the Sharks' search for an inside back playmaker who could make decisions and create opportunities for the players around him was like England cricket's fruitless search for a world-class batsman actually produced in that country.
At the start of last year's Currie Cup season Sharks coach John Plumtree spoke about his mission to bolster his inside back resource base, but it wasn't really necessary as the need was obvious.
The Sharks have always had enough brawn and brute force upfront, and in the professional era they've never lacked for physicality. The poorest Sharks teams of the past 15 years have, even in defeat, left their opponents gingerly nursing severely bruised bodies on the morning after the match.
But one of the most famous stories to come out of the 2000 Currie Cup final when the Sharks lost to Western Province summed up a problem that had developed. Legend has it that some of the Sharks celebrated the physical dominance they had exerted on the WP players; it seemed to have escaped them that they had lost the match.
So to sum it up, plenty of brawn but no brains, and even back then it should have been clear what the Sharks needed. Gaffie du Toit had been imported to solve the problem but it was obvious even by then that he wasn't going to crack it at the highest level. What the Sharks required was a flyhalf or an inside centre, or preferably both, who could act as a seamless link between the forwards and backs.
Joel Stransky and Dick Muir, who filled the two positions making up the key decision-making axis at the start of the 1990s, were the perfect example of what was required. Henry Honiball and Muir also fitted the bill, as did Honiball and Thierry Lacroix.
Those combinations played together in the Sharks' Currie Cup-winning years, and it wasn't a coincidence that the Durban union experienced a sequence of lean seasons in the period between when those players left or retired and the Sharks re-emerged as genuine trophy contenders again in 2006.
Those who question why 2006 was so significant need reminding of what happened that year. It was the season the Sharks, under the coaching of Muir and with New Zealander Tony Brown helping nurture the promising young inside centre Brad Barritt, started to turn around a protracted barren period.
Brown's stint at the Sharks only lasted a few months but it had an impact on Butch James, and it was with James in tandem with Barritt in the 10/12 axis that the Sharks topped the 2007 Super 14 log before eventually losing to a freak last-gasp Bryan Habana try in the final.
So what happened after that? James went to Bath, Barritt went to Saracens, Ruan Pienaar and Frans Steyn were never committed enough to flyhalf and inside centre respectively to make a proper fist of it, and even though Frédéric Michalak did help win a Currie Cup, he didn't stick around.
The Sharks had the outside backs and the forwards – what they lacked was class in the decision-making positions, with a clutch of journeymen doing a solid job in the interim without ever really taking ownership.
It set the Sharks management on a search for recruits from outside the province who could fit that bill, and the switch to a more fast-paced and possession-based style of play at the start of the 2010 domestic season made the quest even more imperative. As luck would have it, they had a youngster in Pat Lambie who proved well suited to a switch from fullback to the pivot role, and with Jacques-Louis Potgieter and Meyer Bosman joining from the Bulls and Cheetahs respectively, suddenly the land of drought has become the land of plenty.
Lambie's conversion was really a fruitful, happy accident. So the big fish, the man the Sharks pinpointed last season as the player who could bring the dynamic they were looking for, was Meyer Bosman.
'We realised Meyer was a player who could bring what we wanted,' says Sharks assistant coach Grant Bashford. 'He was always the player who kept the Cheetahs backline together and who made life difficult for us when the Cheetahs played against us.
'He has played at No 10 for the Springboks, he has a great rugby brain, a good kicking game, and most importantly his excellent distribution skills and decision-making suited the style of rugby we had decided we wanted to play. He really does have a great passing game and he is a player of great intelligence, so we decided to make a concerted effort to get him to move to Durban.'
Luckily for the Sharks they made this decision at the same time that Bosman was thinking he needed a new challenge in his career. He turns 26 this year, and Bosman knows that now is the time to make his move if he wants to fulfil his wish to get a regular taste of what he experienced only fleetingly as a 20-year-old.
More than five years have passed since he first hit the headlines as Jake White's surprise flyhalf choice for two Springbok Tests against Wales and France.
'Although I didn't take my opportunity when it was offered I wouldn't say I'm disappointed because there have been many highlights in my career,' says Bosman. 'But it's still one of my goals to play for the Springboks again. That ambition didn't play a direct role in prompting my move to the Sharks, but if you look at it logically it does make sense that if you excel for a team that does well in the Super 14, your chances of being selected improve considerably.
'I like the way the Sharks play, I've always admired the professional environment here, and I reasoned it would be a place that would offer me great opportunities. I enjoyed my six years at the Cheetahs, but I had reached a stage in my career where I needed a new challenge. It's not like I've sat down and decided I want to play for the Boks at the World Cup or even in 2012. It's more a case of me wanting to be part of a team that has a good Super Rugby campaign and then to take it from there.'
The emergence of Lambie as an astute playmaker has suited Bosman as he has been happy to ease himself into the Sharks system. He has been reluctant to come in and take charge of the backline communication, something often expected of an inside centre.
'Not only do I have Pat on the inside making decisions, I also have the experience of Stefan Terblanche on my outside. So there hasn't been pressure for me to take any kind of leadership role or to be too prominent as a decision-maker or communicator,' he says. 'I'm not being pressurised to force anything. I see my main role as providing continuity as a link between the flyhalf and the outside backs, just to ensure that everything functions smoothly for the Sharks.'
In the early rounds of this Super Rugby season Bosman may be happy to be an almost inconspicuous link in a smooth functioning Sharks chain, but Bashford doesn't see it staying like that.
'The leadership role will come and his playmaking abilities and communicative skills will start coming through in time; I have no doubt that he has that ability,' says Bashford.
'At the moment he is just using the fact that he has Pat and Stefan around him to his advantage so that he can settle in. He doesn't want to be seen as a guy who comes in and calls the shots straight away. Once he becomes more comfortable in the environment and with our plays you'll see him starting to come more into his own as a leader and communicator at No 12.'
Bashford has been impressed by the work ethic that Bosman has brought with him from the Cheetahs.
'He was honest with us and admitted that his defence had let him down a bit when he was with the Cheetahs. He has worked really hard on his defensive game.
'His pre-season was hindered a bit by a groin injury when he first arrived in November, but since he joined up with the squad he has done really well. We were pleased with the way he fitted into the team in the pre- season games.
'What we want from him is the dynamic playmaking at inside centre that he provided for the Cheetahs. We see him as a player who will make the right decisions, who helps the flyhalf control the game and who is the creative presence that can make opportunities for the players around him.'
Bosman says that although he made his international debut at No 10, inside centre is the position he feels is tailored for him.
'Obviously it helps that I have played flyhalf as it means I know what a No 10 expects from a No 12. To some extent I think the positions are interchangeable,' he says. 'But I also think the two positions require different skills and attributes. The inside centre has to get involved in play a lot further away and whereas the No 10's main role is to make decisions and be a director of operations, a No 12 has to get stuck into the rucks a lot more.'
Apart from his distribution skills and rugby brain, the other boon that Bosman brings to the Sharks is his ability as a goal-kicker. He didn't take the long kicks during the pre-season as he didn't want to aggravate his groin. However, he did start kicking again at training in late February.
'That is a big bonus for us as it takes a bit of pressure off Pat and gives us more options,' says Bashford.
Options are something the Sharks have plenty of now that Bosman has joined them. With Potgieter also there to back up Lambie, it's hard to imagine the Sharks needing to push Bosman to flyhalf, but he has plenty of experience there and as long as he is at 12 he will take a heck of a lot of pressure off whoever is wearing No 10. The Sharks suddenly have plenty of what they lacked before – the search for brain and creative ability looks like it's over.

Trained as a graphic designer at the Newcastle School of Art and Design, Hush's art practice has taken him around the globe—throughout Asia, Europe and the United States. Hush's immersion in such a diverse range of cultures and environments is evident in his work and his captivating portrayal of the undying beauty of the female form. Over the course of his travels, Hush developed a fascination with the mark-making, tagging and graffiti he encountered along the way.
British artist Hush merges various street art approaches with traditional art practices to create complex and original work. The artist presents contemporary depictions of traditional portrait and figurative imagery through an inventive mix of seemingly incompatible themes and aesthetics. Through his technique of layering divergent aesthetics, Hush's contemporary paintings disclose the beauty produced by years of decayed tagging and the possibility of creating something new.
Hush has participated in both solo and group exhibitions and shows worldwide including galleries in Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, London, Basel, San Francisco and Berlin. His work has been featured in a series of publications including Street Knowledge (Harper Collins), The Street Art Stencil Book (Laurence King Publishing), Huck magazine, Art Monthly and The Independent newspaper, where he was recognised in their list of the 'Top 20 Up and Coming Artists'.
In 2011 Hush launched his new installation program and exhibition space, onethirty3, in Newcastle, UK.
