text: The Light Gun wiki last edited by jbn566 on 09/04/13 10:15PM View full history A light gun is used to more realistically simulate holding a weapon in a game, this style of controller can be seen in many arcades and has been also created for home versions. Varying incarnations have appeared over the years, the latest being the Wii Zapper. It should be noted that the Wii Zapper is not an actual light gun, but a shell for the Wii Remote, to emulate the feeling of using a light gun. Controversy arises over the nature of the light gun, many parental groups feel that the Light Gun desensitizes users due to its resemblance to an actual gun.Light guns, such as the early Zapper for the NES and early light guns in arcades function based on flashes of light. An initial flash of white across the entire screen, followed by a flash of white over the target areas. If the photodiode in the barrel of the gun sees two flashes, it counts it as a hit. If it sees one flash, it is considered a miss. More recent guns in arcades, such as Ghost Squad and The House of The Dead 4 use tracking systems similar to Wii Remotes. This enables additional gameplay elements, such as in Ghost Squad of freeing hostages.

Pasadena's own denizens Laura and Kate Mulleavy came out strong at New York Fashion Week this morning in Rodarte's fall 2010 collection, worthy of an ethereal ghost bride with a penchant for neutrals, lace and a touch of pearls.
Still present were their bold textures and patchwork layering, but the muted color palette put a dreamlike haze over the affair. Where before their designs were almost tribal, that quality was overtaken by a spectral, romantic glow.
The Mulleavys have said they were inspired, among other things, by the notion of sleepwalking.
The waxy candelabra pyre was actually the opening video sequence at the show, and in the darkened runway space, its lighting felt ritualistic.
While Rodarte is still fully invested in fantasy, it seems like this collection is their most wearable yet. It's easy to imagine some bohemian creature wearing the ensembles exactly as they are presented. And, taken as pieces, even more so. For example, the sweater wrap above.
I wasn't enamored with some of the print picks, but I loved that they hinted at Rodarte's previously bold color choices. It was as if to say: "You know we can do color. Now look at this." Elle is already noting this trend across the board at Fashion Week: white, cream, beige and other pale colors everywhere. (And, across the globe, ivory-skinned folks like me shudder and hope for the best.)
The embroidered tights are something to see. (Can I call them tights? They aren't really that tight.) Here's a close-up.
This feminine frock is delightful. The sheer, floaty creations look so breezy and comfortable on the runway.
OK, I saved all the snow- and off-white creations for last. When you see them in a series, the garments are really breathtaking.
She goes on for miles and miles in this dreamy silhouette.

Just catching up with this thread.
Thanks to all the loud and proud! And Jan I do understand that sometimes it just becomes too much constantly having to defend Andy against idiots!
As for UK, well until recently I think many people in England thought English and British were synonmous. Interestingly, Scottish and Welsh nationalism is forcing English people to realise they aren't and to think about what it means to be English. Personally I'm an English person who thinks of herself as British rather than English (ie I identify with my citizenship rather than my nationality).
Littlebuddha - to be fair to Sky they pay for a fixed number of 500 tournaments in advance I think and then have to decide which to cover. They had highlights down for that night in radio times already so it was always planned,

What's TV's Sexiest Hookup? (POLL)
For every happy, stable couple on TV there's a sexy, passion-fueled hookup that makes steady-as-she-goes monogamy look super boring.
From Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair's (Leighton Meester) hot-'n'-heavy limo ride on the first season of Gossip Girl to Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett's (Stana Katic) makeout sesh (and more) on the Castle Season 4 finale, these small-screen romps are full-on steamy — often because they're long overdue. (It's one of the most basic laws of TV: If you can cut the sexual tension with a knife, the first time will be smokin' hot.)
Now it's up to you to make the tough call: Of the following hookups, which was the sexiest?
So much hotness!
You left out my favorite!


text: To perform a silent barter, one group of traders would go to a specific location, leave their trading goods and then withdraw to a distance. The other group of traders would then approach and inspect the goods (most commonly salt or gold). If the goods met with approval, the second group would then take the goods, leave their own goods in return, and depart.This system of trading was used in particular in Ancient Ghana.It was also used among the Kushites and the Aksumites.(see Aksum for details.) It's described in detail in Robert Heinlein's science fiction novel Citizen of the Galaxy, where the crew of a starship stops on a world whose nonhuman inhabitants practice a form of silent barter. The Greek historian Herodotus wrote about the gold trade with Ghana and Carthage: "The Carthaginians also tell us that they trade with a race of men who live in a part of Libya beyond the Pillars of Hercules. (Straits of Gibraltar) On reaching this country, they unload their goods, arrange them tidily along the beach, and then, returning to their boats, raise a smoke. Seeing the smoke, the natives come down to the beach, place on the ground a certain quantity of gold in exchange for the goods, and go off again to a distance. The Carthaginians then come ashore and take a look at the gold; and if they think it represents a fair price for their wares, they collect it and go away; if, on the other hand, it seems too little, they go back aboard and wait, and the natives come and add to the gold until they are satisfied. There is perfect honesty on both sides; the Carthaginians never touch the gold until it equals in value what they have offered for sale, and the natives never touch the goods until the gold has been taken away."

Christianity Today has an interesting interview with Ross Douthat the author of Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics (Free Press). You can read the whole interview here.
At the end of the interview, Douthat is asked "How do you adapt to cultural forces while maintaining tradition?"
You have to address the issues and places where orthodoxy has lost people over the past few decades without just saying, "We're losing people here, so we just need to change this teaching or jettison this," which was the accommodationist answer. There's evidence to suggest that churches that self-consciously surrender big chunks of Christian teaching don't seem to thrive in the long run. Also, it has to be possible to be Christian on contentious cultural issues without making it seem like Christianity is just an appendage of the Republican Party.
Finally, it's very important for contemporary Christians to be ecumenical and to see the best in one another's congregations, but not at the expense of having a robust, resilient internal culture within their own churches. Lewis compares his "Mere Christianity" to a hallway with doors opening into various rooms, which are the actual Christian churches. You can't spend all your time in the hallway. You can go out into the hallway to talk, but you have to go back in the rooms to worship.
There are a couple on interesting points being made here.First, Douthat is correct that Christians need to not conform their dogmatic and moral teaching to the spirit of the age. Seeking to keep people by compromise is a project guaranteed to fail if for no other reason than because what he calls the accommodationist answer makes the Church look more like the surrounding society and so less like herself. Yes, the Gospel in its fullness is not an "easy sale" but moral or dogmatic accommodation is only possible at the expense of what is distinctive–and so at least potentially attractive to inquirers and faithful alike–about the Church.
His second point–that it should be possible for Christian to offer a witness in the Public Square on "contentious cultural issues without making it seem like Christianity is just an appendage of the Republican Party"–is somewhat more problematic. The independence that Douthat calls for is certainly good and necessary but it is not wholly under the Church's control. At least in the American context, the broader culture is increasingly polarized on a range of moral issues and public policy matters. In such a context even the most carefully crafted response is likely to be interpreted by many as the Church taking sides in partisan politics.
We simply cannot, for example, support legalize abortion or the re-definition of marriage to include same-sex couples. While there is likely a range of morally acceptable public policies positions we Christians can hold to help pregnant women or to protect the civil rights of sexual minorities, such policies we can't do so at the expense of the moral tradition.
Likewise, Christians can–and in fact should–disagree on the best way to care for the poor and to preserve the peace. To the best of my knowledge what Christians disagree about is not whether to care for those indeed but what is the best way to do so. Likewise with issues of national security, what disagree about is not that justice and peace are good but how to promote them in the practical order.
Where I think Douthat is right is that whether from the political let or right we be very careful with (1) identifying our own prudential decisions with the Gospel and (2) assuming those who disagree with us as operating in bad faith.
His last point–that Christians must both see the best in each other's traditions while fostering "a robust, resilient internal culture" within their own community–is not just "very important" but foundational for an effective Christian witness in a secular and polarized culture. Like it or not, and I suspect many Christians don't like it at all–my behavior as an Orthodox Christians priest has positive and negative implications for how people see the ministry of a Baptist minister. And the same is true for me, many people will see me in light of their experience with Evangelical Christians or Roman Catholics.
Whatever we make of it theologically–Christian witness is necessarily a shared witness that transcends our theological differences. It is to my advantage as an Orthodox Christian to help my Episcopalian or Presbyterian neighbor live more faithfully his or her life in Christ. Yes we disagree with much of what such a life means but we can't allow these real–and often substantive–differences to blind us to the fact that in the eyes of the world we are all of us simply Christians.
This last point is one that we overlook to our own harm. The vast majority of people–including Christians–are not interested in the dogmatic differences that divide Christians. This is lamentable and we need to the religious indifference that is common among American Christians. But as a pastoral matter we can't start with an approach that Christians look like simply one more group of individuals struggling for social or political dominance.
Much less can we as Christians allow out differences to become so important that we appear to outsiders, and even our own faithful, as merely two political parties each seeking victory over the other. We need, Douthat argue, to take a positive, more constructive approach.Without it, Christians appear to be simply another internally divided faction struggling for power.
What this more positive approach might look like is, alas, beyond me. But as always, your comments, criticism, thoughts and questions are welcome and actively sought.
In Christ,
+Fr Gregory

Jan 22, Technology/Energy & Green Tech
The engine, which allows up to 80 percent driving on compressed air in cities, offers fuel economy of 2.9 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres (81 miles per gallon) and emits just 69 grammes of carbon dioxide per kilometre.
"This breakthrough technology ... represents a key step towards the two litre per hundred kilometre car by 2020," chief executive Philippe Varin said at a press conference unveiling a series of new technologies.
Peugeot said what it calls Hybrid Air technology can be fit into small to midsize cars without any loss to storage space.
Whereas conventional hybrids use electric batteries to store energy, the compressed air system "allows the recuperation of energy from braking and slowing down," said the head of the Hybrid Air project, Karim Mokaddem.
The project, partially financed by the French state, also includes German auto parts specialist Bosch and Faurecia, a car parts firm controlled by Peugeot.

Call it media center, an extended TV room, a giant home theater or a complete entertainment center – at the end of the day it all comes down to one wonderful room and the delights it offers. Since a home entertainment center extends a tad bit beyond your conventional TV room by creating a whole new visual experience (an exclusive den to escape the world), let's get down to 10 steps that will open up the doors to your personal heaven.
1. Pick a theme for the room
This can vary from one which you are already using, to a movie, game or even an environment you like. But since you might want to get that theater-like feel as you are watching your favorite flick, it's probably best to keep it in line with the way many home theaters are basically built.
2. The type of screen
This is the most important decision of your new home theater. You need to buy something that falls into your budget but still satisfy your need. It can vary between a screen and a projector (for a very authentic movie-like experience) or a giant 70-inch plasma television as a more convenient and modern alternative (which will also come in handy for your gaming needs). If it's just the movies, stick to the screen and the projector as they're hard to beat.
3. Get the location of the room right
For a giant home theater it's the location that ultimately defines how good it really is. Make sure that the room has as few natural windows as possible and make sure that it is in a place where you do not get
disturbed by any external noises (and you don't disturb others, too). Your home theater room has to offer plenty of privacy and the best audio and visual experience.
4. The audio equipment
A home theater is nothing without the right sound system that mimics the amazing experience of the cinema halls. Go for a sub woofer and make sure you got the speakers arranged in the acoustically right fashion so that the sound is not being disturbed. Acoustics is no easy topic to understand and get right, so it might be good to take an expert's advice in this matter in case you want the very best.
5. It's all about comfort
This is your home theater, so why not have one of those large sofas for the ultimate comfort experience while viewing! Remember that by trying to mimic the theater atmosphere completely, you might be
sacrificing too much on comfort at times. So when it comes to seating, you could bring in some of those luxurious-looking seats with plenty of leg space.
6. A dark interior
There is a reason why most theaters in the world use a combination of dark purple and deep black tones for its walls and ceiling. It's the contrast and the shades that bring in the very best on your screen. So forget about any neutral shades for this one and go as beautifully dark as possible.
7. Ergonomic design
Wires that hang all around the place and are not taken care of in the proper fashion not just look bad, but could be a real hazard in all that dark. And believe me that there's going to be plenty of wiring to do with all the screens, audio systems and a lot more going on. So it is best to ensure that the mess is hidden away in the right way. This makes your entertainment center a lot safer and ergonomic.
8. Gaming is "special"
If you are an avid gamer, then it's best to double up this room for both your gaming needs as well as for the viewing pleasure. If you do wish to have some fun here, then make sure you have all the extra-gadgetry readily installed with extra audio and video ports for input and output.
9. Get the lighting right
This makes or breaks your TV. Pretty much the rule of decorating everywhere, you have to get the lighting right. Use the same ambient lighting that is generally used in theaters. But a better option would be to bring in LED lighting. This looks ultra-cool and also sets the mood perfectly by changing the light intensity. And if you wish to get real fancy you can use those tiny blue lights close to the floor, to highlight the pathway!
10. Throw in the red carpet and some old memorabilia
There are numerous ways to accessorize your entertainment center using stuff like the red carpet for a more authentic look, movie posters and memorabilia on the walls. Outside you can always add an old popcorn
machine or a pool table that makes it look like a waiting area. If you are imaginative and have the cash, there is well and truly plenty on offer here.

Clearly your posts didn't address the technical side of the Home theatre equipment, etc. So this for me was a great angle, but I would have liked some feedback in terms of setting up the room for best sound quality. eg: what type of floor and wall surfaces work best ini minimising echoes and that sort of thing!

Saint Paul, Minn. (PRWEB) May 22, 2014
On June 21-22, 2014, the first annual GermanFest will be held at the Historic Schmidt Brewery, located on West 7th Street in St. Paul, Minn. This free, family-friendly festival will provide a fun and memorable experience for all ages through food, music, art, and education.
FILO Productions and the Fort Road Federation are partnering to bring this inaugural event into the community of St. Paul – where one-third of the city population is of German ancestry. This two-day celebration expects to attract 20,000 people. It will feature many aspects that make up German culture and bring a rich selection of activities, German food and drink, and reflections of history into a family and kid-friendly event.
"There is so much more to German culture than what you see at a typical Oktoberfest event," said Kevin Weinhandl, President and CEO of FILO Productions. "We felt that other events focus so heavily on the food and beer that the beautiful art and rich history are often overlooked. As someone who grew up in St. Paul's West End, I'm proud to bring the neighborhood together at the first annual GermanFest."
Those in attendance can participate in a number of free historic tours and lectures including a walking tour of the Schmidt Brewery neighborhood, a presentation on German lager beer, and a bus tour of German brewery sites and the homes of German brewers. In addition, two stages will have live music and kids entertainment throughout the weekend.
"We are thrilled to bring our traditional Bavarian varieties to this historic site. The Schmidt Brewery produced beer for 140 years – it's the perfect place to celebrate German heritage," said Joe Goodin of Paulaner USA. "We'll have plenty of delicious German beers on tap to pair with the food, music and dancing."
Event activities will include:
Sponsors to date include Paulaner, Schell's Beer, Visit Saint Paul, BankCherokee, The Growler, Vine Park Brewing Company, Big Top Wine & Spirits, Peter Hill Design, and K-TWIN 96.3.

Choice Proof 1851 Restrike Dollar1851 $1 Restrike PR64 PCGS. The 1851 Restrike silver dollars are differentiated from the Originals by placement of the date. The Originals, struck in 1851, have the date high in the field with the tops of each numeral almost touching the base of Liberty. The Restrikes, minted in the very late 1850s at the earliest, and possibly into the 1870s, have the date almost exactly centered between the base of Liberty and the border. 1851 Original silver dollars exist in both proof and business strike format, while the Restrikes are only known in proof format. The total mintage for the Restrikes is not specifically known, however, it was certainly not a large quantity for these are almost as rare as the Originals. This Choice proof is extremely well detailed, and has pale champagne toning on each side. A few hairlines and other tiny scratches keep this from Gem quality. An exciting opportunity awaits bidders in Long Beach.(#6993) (Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 2524, PCGS# 6993)

Nature's Secret Digestive Bliss Probiotic combines a proprietary blend of Lactobacillus and other friendly bacterial organisms. A healthy digestive tract contains a variety of Lactobacillus bacteria' which it must maintain in proper balance for overall health.
The proprietary blend of probiotics in this formula contains Lactobacillus Reuteri to support the body's natural defenses and to help maintain healthy equilibrium in the gastrointestinal tract. This probiotic strain secretes reuterin' a substance with beneficial properties to promote a healthy balance of "good" bacteria.
The key breakthrough of Digestive Bliss Probiotic is its patented delivery system which is designed to deliver live probiotic bacteria into the gastrointestinal tract. Each patented technology tablet of Digestive Bliss Probiotic forms a gel barrier around the tablet as soon as it is ingested. This barrier helps protect the delicate probiotic organisms inside as they travel to the low acid environment of your small intestine. The result? Digestion and immune support.

LET'S take a peek at the neighbours. The closest Earth-like planet is probably orbiting a star just 13 light years away. While that's too far for a visit, future telescopes should be able to see it and probe for signs of life.
At a press event on 6 February, Courtney Dressing of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics presented data from NASA's Kepler telescope. Her team pulled out all the red dwarfs in Kepler's catalogue and found three with possible Earth-sized planets orbiting in the habitable zone, the region around a star where liquid water can exist.
Statistically, 6 per cent of all red dwarfs in the galaxy should have rocky planets in the habitable zone, Dressing calculates. Because most of the stars nearest to us are red dwarfs, a habitable world should be very close - near enough for planned observatories like the James Webb Space Telescope to check its atmosphere for gases produced by life, such as a large amount of oxygen.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by SummerDarling What a disappointment... Was really looking forward to feeling like a goddess in this at my mother's 50th, but I don't see that happening! First off, if I were to keep this dress (which I most definitely will not), a lot of fabric would have to be sacrificed at the tailor. The dress is HUGE. I have a hard time understanding how the model in the photo is wearing a small considering that she is 5'8. For reference, I am of similar body-type to her, just 5'3" (50kg/110lbs). I expected to trim the hem, but the rest of the dress fits like a bag, not nicely fitted like in the photo. That was not the worst of it. The sizing issue is entirely minuscule in comparison to the following: The dress arrived in a COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE state. Two large, dark grey stains on the front, make-up stains on the inner edge of the bust-line, and the bottom hem was tattered and dirty....as if someone had worn to an event and returned it or something... This being my first Free People online order, I can't say anything other than that I am deeply disappointed. I really hope FP ups their standard and checks orders more thoroughly in the future. I'd like to end this on a positive note, however. The dress is beautifully crafted in the softest and most comfortable cotton (100%). The lace is made in France, a lovely detail. Wish I could have had the chance to wear it! I'm sure it would have turned a lot of heads. 8.4.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by kaskinner89 Not at all like the picture I originally bought this as a summer wedding dress. I'm 5'7/150 lbs and first ordered a medium. It was huge to say the least, and absolutely not appropriate for a wedding, even if tailored. The side boob action was ridiculous. So I exchanged it for a small, and when it came it was still just as big. There is SO much fabric in all the wrong places. I really don't know what body type this dress was made for but all I can say is that it fits nothing like the picture shows. If I were to wear this anywhere it would be to the pool or the beach, and $300 is a little much for a barely-there cover up. 9.12.2013

A chance encounter in a slum on the outskirts of the Ugandan capital, Kampala, led to a project that helps some of Uganda's poorest women sell handmade paper-bead necklaces in North America.
In 2004, three American women were walking though the Acholi Quarter slum, home to hundreds who had fled a brutal civil war in northern Uganda. For most residents, the only paid work was breaking stones in a nearby quarry for 80 cents a day. The Americans came across one woman sitting in front of her mud hut rolling strips of old paper into beads. The woman, Millie Grace Akena, told them that she and other women in the slum made necklaces out of the beads, but had no place to sell them.
The Americans -- Torkin Wakefield, a psychologist who divides her time between Colorado and Uganda, where her husband trains AIDS doctors; Devin Hibbard, her adult daughter; and Ginny Jordan, a psychotherapist -- brought necklaces home and found that people admired them. They set up a nonprofit association, BeadforLife, and sold the jewelry online.
Three months later, the project was mentioned in O, The Oprah Magazine, published by popular TV host Oprah Winfrey. Hibbard, who heads North American operations, called the response "astounding." Orders poured in.
Prices for the jewelry range from $5 for a single-strand bracelet to $30 for a five-strand necklace. Although the jewelry can be ordered online, most is sold at "bead parties" in homes and community centers. Two thousand such parties were held in the United States and Canada in 2007, organized by people who like the beads and want to help the Ugandan women.
Three hundred Ugandan women participate in the project. They are among the poorest in a poor country; often they are their families' sole breadwinners. The beaders together support about 3,000 people.
Many are infected with HIV, which causes AIDS. In the project, they earn, on average, more than $1,200 a year, more than many schoolteachers make in Uganda.
BeadforLife takes a holistic approach to tackling participants' poverty. It provides health services (malaria pills, mosquito nets, vouchers for medical care), training in bookkeeping and other skills so participants can start small businesses, and affordable housing. The project purchased 8.1 hectares of land outside the capital and named it Friendship Village. With the help of the nonprofit group Habitat for Humanity, the beaders have built 67 three-room houses there.
The houses cost about $2,000. To pay for them, the beaders save until they can make a 10 percent down payment and pay the rest over five years. The houses have neither electricity nor indoor plumbing, but are clean and solid and a big improvement over the slums where most of the beaders and their children have been living.
Beaders stay in the project for 27 months, with the first three months devoted to training in high standards of bead making. (Triangular strips of colored paper are rolled, the tips are glued and then the beads are lacquered.) The goal is for the women to use their savings and new skills to start their own small businesses by the time they leave. Dozens have done so, starting small-scale vegetable or poultry production operations, selling shoes or drinks from market stalls, or, in one case, investing in a motorbike taxi.
BeadforLife sales grew to $3.5 million in the most recent fiscal year, and the beaders barely are keeping up with demand. Organizers are reluctant to expand too fast for fear of diluting the efforts to permanently improve the lives of the Ugandan participants.
Several scholars give the project high marks but point to its limitations. They wonder how much impact even the best-designed charitable initiative can have on a continent where people have few economic opportunities.
Lee Cassanelli, director of the University of Pennsylvania's African Studies Center, said, "My intuition is, it's better to produce something for the local African market than for the maybe-ephemeral international market."
Holley E. Hanson, a professor of African history at Mount Holyoke College, said that while the project appears to have had a great impact on the lives of a small number of people, it could not improve the powerlessness of African countries over issues that greatly affect them: the undermining of African agriculture through subsidies for farmers in wealthy countries, the debt burden of African countries to banks in wealthy nations and patent protections limiting access to cheaper generic anti-AIDS drugs.
"I'd like to see the people who buy the beads also ask our government to make sure there is a place at the decision-making table" for African governments, she said.
Meanwhile, BeadforLife's founders believe the project connects Ugandan craftswomen and their customers. "It's not just about a product," said Hibbard, referring to the jewelry. "It's a circle of reciprocity," in which the lives of Ugandan beaders and North Americans who buy their handiwork become bound together.
More information about BeadforLife is available on its Web site.

APAGS/CAPP/Division 31 SPTA Award
This $1,500 cash award recognizes a state, provincial or territorial psychological association for superior performance in promoting graduate student development, involvement and joint APAGS/SPTA membership. This award is funded jointly by APAGS and CAPP with support and contribution by Division 31, State Psychological Association Affairs.
This award is intended to promote continued development of programs and activities that meet the needs and interests of students in their states/provinces, and to enhance collaboration with APAGS that promote joint APAGS/SPTA membership and involvement in both associations.
A qualified SPTA must demonstrate an exemplary level of commitment to providing opportunities for graduate student development. Applications will be evaluated based upon how well the SPPA actively incorporates students and student issues into the governance and activities of the association, develops and implements innovative programs that target the needs of students, promotes joint APAGS/SPTA membership, encourages socialization of students into the profession, and helps students to shape their own professional identity.
In addition to recognition as the "APAGS outstanding state, provincial or territorial psychological association of the year" and a monetary award of $1,500 that must used to support future student activities, the winning SPTA will be presented with a plaque during the annual awards ceremony at the APA Practice Organization's state leadership conference and acknowledged in APAGS publications.
To be considered for this award, a state, provincial or territorial psychological association must have an active doctoral student membership from regionally accredited universities. SPTA's that are previous recipients of this award are not eligible to apply again for a period of five years.
To apply, at least one APAGS member and one SPTA member or staff person must collaborate on the required application materials (see below) that describe the SPTA's proposal to meet the needs of graduate students and offer enhanced opportunities for professional development within the SPTA.
The APAGS Award Selection Committee will review all applications and select the recipient. The APAGS Award Selection Committee will take into account both past and current activities. Funds must be used to develop new programs and opportunities for graduate students or to build upon and enhance existing student activities.
Required Materials
A cover letter (two pages maximum/double spaced) that includes the name of the award for which you are applying, a brief summary of the nominated SPTA's membership data (i.e., number of members, student members, APA members, APAGS members) and a brief statement describing how the SPTA is committed to student development and values the contributions of graduate students.
A descriptive list (two pages maximum/double spaced) of recent/ongoing student programming or activities and student involvement in the SPTA's governance, activities and advocacy efforts.
A formal proposal (three pages maximum/double spaced) that includes a description of association goals with regard to enhancing graduate student development, a discussion of anticipated student initiatives and a statement indicating how award funds would be used to support future student activities.
If you are not an APAGS member at the time of submission, you may send a copy of the receipt you get when you join APAGS/APA electronically as proof of membership.
Please submit each of these items as a separate PDF file. We will not accept Word documents. Letters of recommendation (if and only if stated as a requirement above) should also be in PDF form; however, we will accept both Word and PDF versions of the letter of recommendation only.
Please note the online system will close at 11:59 p.m. ET on the day of the deadline; all application materials must be submitted at that time. No mail submissions will be accepted. If you are not an APAGS member at the time of submission you may attach a copy of the receipt you get when you join APA/APAGS electronically as proof of your membership. Letters of recommendation may be submitted separately via email by the deadline. Submit your application online.
Please Read This Carefully
Approximately two months before an application is due, you will see this specific grant/award as a choice in the drop-down menu under "Grants" in the online submission form. Do not apply until the grant is listed in this menu as your application will not be accepted. Check back periodically if you are waiting for a chance to submit.

My name is Andreas and I must be some kind of artist. Sometimes I do things that you can see
but sometimes I also do things that you can hear. And sometimes even both. In fact for me it makes no difference.
My studio is called ›the void‹. This website is a little portfolio of works – regardless wether they`re audible
or visible – that emerged from the void.
As a visual artist I see design as the link between art and science. In this way, good design makes knowledge
accessible visually. So my special interest lies in creating visual systems that are able to communicate complex
content in an understandable way.
Beside my practical work I wrote some essays – for example on the construction of identity in the web, on the
role of chance in arts and especially composition or audiovisual aesthetics of music in movies. I am also one of
the editors of music media publishing. I enjoy coding with Processing
and JQuery.
I also teach at Graz' very own Ortweinschule in the department of Grafic- and Communication-Design.

Rifle Back at No. 1
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Following a three-week stay at No. 2, the West Virginia University rifle team has reclaimed the No. 1 ranking in today's Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association (CRCA) Poll.
The Mountaineers' (9-0, 4-0 GARC) ranking is based on their team average of 4716.0. Team averages are derived from a squad's top three scores shot at three different venues.
"We feel confident heading into winter break," says Mountaineer coach Jon Hammond. "We had a good semester and we shot some high scores, so we expected to reclaim the top ranking.
"Our average shouldn't change much next semester, so we're hoping to maintain the high standard we have set. Ultimately, our goal is to keep improving and to continue to shoot high scores."
TCU dropped to No. 2, while Kentucky held steady at No. 3. WVU, along with the Horned Frogs and the Wildcats, have combined to win the last four NCAA titles, with TCU claiming its second championship in three seasons in 2012.
Alaska-Fairbanks is ranked No. 4, Jacksonville State is No. 6, Army is No. 6 and Nebraska is No. 7. Murray State, Air Force and Memphis round out the top 10.
The Mountaineers will return to the WVU Rifle Range on Saturday, Jan. 19, for a shoulder-to-shoulder match with Nebraska.

A large blob of foam, which up until that point had been performing sterling service in the cause of the essential decencies, slipped slowly to the floor. 'Well?' he snapped. 'Haven't you lot seen a wizard before?'
A watchman snapped to attention and saluted. 'Captain Carrot, sir. We've, er, never seen so much of a wizard, sir.'
Ridcully gave him the slow blank stare used by those with acute uptakegrasping deficiency. 'What's he talkin' about, Stibbons?' he said out of the corner of his mouth.
'You're, er, insufficiently dressed, sir.'
'What? I've got my hat on, haven't I?'
'Yes, sir-'
'Hat = wizard, wizard = hat. Everything else is frippery.'

Linux Game Programming ReviewJuly 20th, 2001 by Crusader
Slashdot has posted a rather critical bookreview byCraig Maloney ofLinux Game Programming byMark Collins, Ben Campbell, Steve Baker and Martin Donlon.
Slashdot has posted a rather critical bookreview byCraig Maloney ofLinux Game Programming byMark Collins, Ben Campbell, Steve Baker and Martin Donlon.
It had a brilliant tech editor!
On IRC, I saw the author of the review say it sounded more harsh than he had intended.
Andre: "I am such a luser. I will make a series of books."
Nurgle:"Can I do Linux?"
Andre: "Lennox? What you say?"
Nurgle:"No, Linux. It's my operating system of choice. Free, simple, and very advanced… Linux… uhh, it's UNIX."
Andre: "I hate UNIX! Isn't that a band?"
Nurgle: :Ignore band comment:
Nurgle:"Yes, I know. But Linux is different. It's very popular. Lots of people use it."
Andre: "(Note to self: popular does not refer to the state of corn kernels being exploded in a paper bag) Okay."
Nurgle:"So, what can I do?"
Andre: "Well, the deadline's in four weeks. Have fun."
Andre: **BRAAAAP**
By saying that I like Nurgle. I've talked to him a bit on IRC , and he's a great guy. Definatly an intelligent, respectable man. SO.. what I'm about to say doesn't apply to him.. his work was admirable.
This book sucks. Don't by it. It has programming errors, mispellings, etc. I want .. what I really want.. is all my money back for it. It's that bad. IT does have some redeeming qualities but over all the editor screwed it up SO badly that it cannot run. The examples on the CD do not run. They simply don't, becuase they were mastered from the book, and the book is _WRONG_ because the technical editor sucked.
There is no way to put it where this book will be better, and that's sad, because Mark's a great guy. But the truth is, when edition 2 comes out of this book, I am avoiding it like the plague. I'd rather get the Loki version now and eat the $40 from this one.

Tech Talk 3 by Miguel de Icaza
Server Windows to Linux Migration
It's the New Black
April 2008
- Tech Talk 01 With all your data in your OpenOffice.org Base database, how do you access it to help make decisions? Query your database to help you analyze your data
- Tech Talk 02 If you didn't make it to BrainShare or just want a recap of the keynote messages this article is for you. The Novell executives walk you through the latest and greatest in Novell strategy and technology.
- Tech Talk 03 Attention Web enterprise developers: Mono is ready to take on the Microsoft-dominated ASP.NET stack. You can now deploy your software on Linux-based servers without the powers that be feeling a thing.
- Tech Talk 04 Lengthy release cycles are a thing of the past. We want to know what you want, and we want to deliver it to you now.
- Proof Point As a non-profit organization, Sesame Workshop has a small IT staff with a big job. They've found the extra help they need with Novell ZENworks Asset Management and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
- Trend Talk Are tightening budgets forcing you to consider other options? Start considering other office productivity suites (and some are online offerings) to release the strangle hold proprietary vendors might have on you-and your budget.
Some of the ASP.NET applications we have made available include:
- ASP.NET's Blog Starter Kit
- ASP.NET's Classifieds Starter Kit
- ASP.NET's Club Web Site
- ASP.NET's IBuySpyPortal
Some open source packages that support Mono out of the box are:
- MonoBlog
- MonoForums
- dekiwiki
- MojoPortal
Installing our Packages
If you want to take our various Web sites for a test drive, you can use our repositories and the SUSE built-in installation tools to do this.
On OpenSUSE 10.3
1. Add Mono:Community to Zypper:
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Mono:
/Community/openSUSE_10.3 monocom
2. Search for a package (for example, ?ibuyspy?) to get the full name of the package to install; it's listed in the Name column:
zypper se ibuyspy
3. Install ibuyspy using the full name of the package:
zypper -r in Mono_ASP.NET_IBuySpyPortal
On SUSE Linux Enterprise
1. Add Mono:Community to ZMD
rug sa -t yum http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Mono:
/Community/SLE_10 monocom
2. Search for ibuyspy to get the full name of the package to install; it's listed in the Name column:
rug se ibuyspy
3. Install ibuyspy using the full name of the package:
rug in Mono_ASP.NET_IBuySpyPortal
Learning from our Ports
Let's explore a well-known ASP.NET application, the ?Classifieds Starter Kit?, originally available from http://www.asp.net/downloads/starter-kits/classifieds/.
You can download our source rpm from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Mono:
To explore the port, you will need to install this .src.rpm package. Type the following command as root: rpm -i Mono_ASP.NET_ClassifiedsStarterKit-1.0.0-20.1.src.rpm
Once you do this, RPM will leave the source files in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES. You'll find two files there: a tar file with the original contents, and a patch file that is used to alter the original tar package to port it.
Most of the changes in the patch file are used to port the application from SQL server to PostgreSQL using the Npgsql database provider, which is included with Mono. But it also deals with a few differences between deploying on Linux and deploying on Windows. You can read more about the differences on the Mono Project Web site, http://www.mono-project.com/Guide:_Porting_ASP.NET_Applications.
You will find the file that drives the packaging of the Classifieds Starter Kit in the /usr/src/packages/SPECS directory. The spec file creates a few configuration files. For example, it creates an Apache configuration file that publishes the starter kit on the /ClassifiedsStarterKit directory on the current server, and it provides a few configuration options to Mono to run the application.
One important feature in the Apache launch script is the use of the MONO_IOMAP environment variable. It instructs Mono to emulate the Windows file system semantics on Linux. Windows files are case insensitive and applications tend to depend on the case insensitivity for file names, but Linux files are case sensitive.
If you want to build the software from the spec files, just type this command: rpmbuild -ba Mono-ASP.NET-ClassifiedsStarterKit.spec Wait for a few minutes, and you should have a shiny package built on your very own system that is ready to be modified and deployed.
The Opportunity
The major chunk of code in our port is the database conversion; it has to change the way the database is created and the syntax of the stored procedures. But if you don't need to do this, porting an ASP.NET server application from Windows to Linux only takes a few days for someone with ASP.NET background.
If you ever wanted to consolidate some Windows workloads into your Linux systems and depended on ASP.NET or .NET to be available on Linux, it is!
In future articles, we will examine some of the technical issues involved in porting applications and some of the tools that we use to port. We'll also show more of our roadmap for various technologies that Web developers use.

Back or neck pain can be debilitating and interfere with your normal daily activities. Lower back pain affects nearly 80% of people at some point in their lives. At Bear River Valley Hospital, we believe that patients should not have to live in pain. With the proper physical therapy and education, many of our patients find relief from back and neck pain. Whether you've been living with back pain for a just a few short weeks, or several years, physical therapy can help. Our staff is dedicated to helping relieve your pain and move easier.
Each patient that comes into our clinic has a one-on-one interview with one of our physical therapists. Together with our staff, patients have the opportunity to plan their physical therapy goals. For patients with back and neck pain, we typically use things like exercise therapy, unloading therapy with traction, the McKenzie approach, and other flexibility and strengthening exercises. We do our best to help patients decrease pain and increase mobility and flexibility.

2008 Ford Escape Hybrid Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 6 reviews
The 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid got a makeover for its third birthday. And it was just in time for the spotlight, too: The '08 Escape Hybrid has grabbed headlines as the face of New York City's hybrid taxi initiative.
It's a terrific choice to spearhead a push for greener taxis. The 2008 Escape Hybrid has a roomy interior, which (thanks to the new design) is more rugged than ever. And its EPA fuel economy estimate of 36 miles per gallon in the city makes it more than twice as efficient as the current taxi fleet.
But what about the rest of us who just want a midsize SUV that's easy on the wallet and the environment? Well, the good news is that the '08 Escape Hybrid is more comfortable than ever, with a spacious cabin, plenty of legroom and cargo capacity, sustainable seat fabrics made from recycled materials, and ice-blue lighting on the dash. A top-of-the-dash multimedia center is also part of the package.
The bad news? It's still quite a bit more expensive than its traditionally fueled Escape counterpart. But over time, you may be able to recoup some of that investment, thanks to the Escape Hybrid's fuel-saving powerplant. It consists of a compact electric motor, which can power the vehicle alone at speeds up to 25 miles per hour, and a fuel-efficient 2.3-liter four-cylinder Atkinson Cycle engine.
Other hybrid-related technologies include an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT), which results in seamless acceleration, and regenerative braking, which generates electricity when you apply the brakes to recharge the battery. According to Ford, the hybrid powerplant produces 70 percent better fuel economy in the city than a traditional gas-fueled four-cylinder Escape.
Among the options is an Intelligent 4WD system.
