Arizona zombie run abruptly canceled
PHOENIX -- The undead won't be walking around Arizona this week. At least not at a scheduled fun run.
According to the Baltimore Sun, the "Run for Your Lives" event scheduled for Saturday in Arizona has been canceled.
"We had to make a really tough decision today," said William Ward, vice president of marketing for Run for Your Lives LLC. The company laid off all its employees Wednesday, a decision he said affected about 20 people, himself included.
Ward cited a massive fall-off in attendance as the reason for the run's cancellation and the layoffs.
Ward is unsure if the company will refund runners or seek bankruptcy protection.
"It is a question that remains open," he said. "No one wants to say 'No' to that, but I don't know what [the company] is capable of, or what is legal at this point."
Arizona runners paid between $35 and $97 to participate.

try this:
$ export NNTPSERVER=news.ucdavis.edu

see if that helps. this will only "work" as long as you're coming in
on ucd's modem pool. if you're using DSL, you'll have to use a
different news server.
just to let you know, some people like a newsreader named slrn. i have
a feeling that slrn is to tin as mutt is to pine. however, it took me
almost 2 years to switch to mutt, so i have another year or so before i
need to switch over to slrn. ;)
also, some people like browser newsreaders like mozilla, but frankly,
browser anything (except for good old fashioned browsing) makes me barf.

Nicole, I think you need to learn more about history, lol. Yes, our grandmothers cooked with lard and ate sugar and potatoes, but they didn't have to worry about GMO's and antibiotic/hormone laden meat. And yes, they did buy cereal, but the definition of cereal has changed over the years. Most cereal in those times were things like shredded wheat, corn flakes and rice cereals. Cereals with food dyes and marshmallows were added in my generation, so unless your grandmother is really young, I doubt she ever bought that for her children.
And if you don't think homeopathy is a viable medical science, then I'm guessing you don't believe in vaccinations (hint – http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/homeopathy)Reply
I don't believe in cereal. with color The only cereal out of my comfort zone that I allow my children to enjoy once in awhile is the marshmallow cereal. Everytime my children shop with me and they want cereals that I dont approve of, I tell them that they are not healthy and have too much sugar and they are okay with my response. They have been knowledged about most of the basic nutrition. I am blessed that they atleast try to understand at their young ages. Most kids don't want to hear of it or don't care as long as they are satisfied.Reply
Really, because the recent studies show there is NO significant improvement in quality of organic over non organically processed foods. Also our grandmothers cooked with LARD and ate all the sugar and potatoes they wanted to plus fatty beef and tons of fatty smoked pork.
If you are going to make a point using history, at least KNOW your history.
As for cereal… our grandmothers also had THAT and it historically had MORE sugar in it not less than what we eat now. Again… a total failure to understand history. acid imbalance? Show your credentials or sources or you are just making things up or worse.. parroting some neo-nutritionist who thinks homeopathy is a viable medical science.Reply
Come on this is rubbish.
Q1. Cereals with marshmallow and colors. No-no. Of course the kids will have it at the friends house because most people don't have a clue about nutrition. To start with cereals should be avoided altogether because they are a significant source of inflammation and acid inbalance. Should kids have some, only in small quantities and real cereals like unsweetened organic oats and never the heavily processed industrial GMO junk like colored marshmallow Cheerios. My philosophy is that if your grand-grand mother did not find it in stores, it's probably not good to eat.
Q2. Agree except that for the milk, only use organic milk, which does not container rGBH and if possible grass-fed.
Q3. Wrong response. Proper response should have been, don't worry about the fat, good fat is good and we should eat plenty unlike carbs which should be limited to very small amounts. However the only beef one should have regardless of how much fat it contains is 100% grass-fed beef, locally grown if possible. As a default option if not available, organic beef only and really avoid all conventionally raised beef which is hormones, antibiotics laden and raised sick on a GMO corn pesticides laden diet in over crowded feeding lots.Reply

The Nairobi all Share corrected 1.12 points lower to close at 92.78. The Nairobi NSE20 index corrected 24.89 points to close at 4139.02. Equity turnover was 560.182m and dominated by Safaricom which traded 68.48% of the total volume at the Exchange.
In Commercial and Services:
Safaricom was the most actively traded share at the Securities Exchange and retreated 3.85% off a 25-month closing high to close at 5.00 and traded 76.767m shares worth 383.626m, which was 68.48% of the total turnover at the Securities Exchange yesterday.
Safaricom traded session lows of 4.85 -6.73% and the reason is the cut in the mobile termination rate from 1.44 shillings per minute from 2.21 shillings, backdating it to July 1 this year. [Set aside the backdating issue which is egregious and drains the Bonafides of the regulator and increases Kenya Business Risk].
Recall that at the FY mark voice revenues totalled 68.96b and represented 64.448% of total revenues. At the H1 earnings release Safaricom announced that voice revenues increased +18.84% to 37.422b and represented 63.3005% of total revenues.
Now clearly the majority of calls are Safaricom to Safaricom but this [back dated] adjustment is material. This announcement detracted from what I consider the 'Next Big Thing' for Safaricom which is the launch of the mobile bank account M-Shwari.
I wrote on Friday that, 'If I were BobCollymore and looking for my next big thing it would be something a high velocity, small denomination credit facility piggy backing on M-Pesa' and M-Shwari is exactly that. This is a revolutionary product and with '15.2m; 9.7m of whom actively use M-PESA at least once every 30 days,' Safaricom has enormous scale at the get-go.
Safaricom is +76.949% on a total return basis in 2012. Car and General firmed 4.166% to close at 25.00 and traded 400 shares. Among Banks
Kenya Commercial Bank retreated 4.2% to close at 28.50 and traded light volume of 246,700 shares worth 7.075m. Standard Chartered Bank's recent rights issue shares traded for the first time on the Securities Exchange yesterday.
Standard Chartered eased 0.82% to close at 234.00 and traded 132,800 shares worth 31.162m which ranked it the third most active share at the Exchange yesterday.
Equity Bank firmed 1.05% to close at 24.00 and traded 1.546m shares worth 37.461m. COOP Bank improved 0.41% to close at 12.20 and traded 1.497m shares worth 18.314m. COOP Bank is +23.592% on a total return basis in 2012, trades on a trailing PE of 7.973 and accelerated Q3 2012 PAT +35.617%.
Barclays Bank eased 2.00% to close at 14.70 and traded 468,300 shares. Barclays Bank trades on a trailing PE of 9.891 and reported a Q3 2012 net profit +2.2%. NIC Bank closed unchanged at 40.75 which is a 59 Month Closing High and is +107.07% on a total return basis in 2012. NIC Bank accelerated Q3 2012 net income +35.59%.
In Industrial and Allied:
EABL was low ticked 0.826% off a record closing high to close at 240.00 and traded 9,100 shares. KenolKobil firmed 1.0135% to close at 14.95 and traded 438,400 shares.

What is Aquaculture?
Aquaculture also known as aquaculture farming or aquafarming is the process of farming aquatic creatures such as molluscs, crustaceans and aquatic plants. In addition of shellfish such as mussels and oysters. Under specific conditions, Aquaculture include farming saltwater and freshwater. Aquaculture farming report a global output which cover one half of the fish and shellfish that is directly consumed by humans worldwide.
Legal Definition: The culture or husbandry of marine organisms by any person. Storage or any other form of impounding or holding of wild marine organisms, without more, shall not qualify as aquaculture. In order to qualify as aquaculture a project must involve affirmative action by the lessee to improve the growth rate or quality of the marine organism.
History of Aquaculture Farming:
When we dive in the history, we found that aquaculture has been used in australia nearby 6000 BC for elevating eels. In China, there are proofs that the industry of aqua farming has been used around 2500 BC. After river floods, fishes such as carp were captured in lakes and fed up with nymphs and silkworm feces.
Aquaculture Farming Production:
The total production of fisheries is over than 150 million tonnes per year, with 18 million tonnes of Carps and other cyprinids, 5 million tonnes of Oysters and 4.5 million tonnes Clams, Cockles and Ark shells. The rest is for Shrimps, Prawns, Salmons, Trouts, Smelts, Mussels, Tilapias and other Cichlids and Scallops.
In the top list of aquaculture producer countries we found that the industry of aquaculture farming is considered as a major economic activity in China.
The Chinese Bureau of Fisheries reports a grow of about 17% yearly to reach 70% of the total world production, followed by some other Asian countries like India, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia.
Nowadays Aquaculture Practices:
Aquaculture is also currently one of the fastest growing fields of food production in the United States of America. Approximately 90% of all U.S. shrimp consumption is farmed and imported. In recent years Salmon aquaculture has become a major export in southern Chile, especially in Puerto Montt, Chile's fastest-growing city.

With so much news coming from the asteroid capture and determent sector, we're starting to think that there's something somebody isn't telling us. It was only last month that new details surfaced about the EU's plans to redirect massive asteroids with suicidal satellites. This month, the asteroid redirection plan is even more awesome, because that's what happens to a plan when you add lasers to it.

The Hendrickson (Ephemerella) hatch should be starting later this week. Not being one to wait, I tried my luck at a nice pool. Initially I started with a red bodied bead head nymph and started dredging the pool. I took a 9-inch brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) on that.
After an hour or so, around 3 p.m., and after trying a few flies that I thought would bring a strike, I changed tactics. No fish were rising and taking dries, but I like to throw a curve ball out once in a while and see what happens. The way I figure it, if a steak sandwich with gravy and mashed potatoes floats by, why bother with bologna. The fish took the dry fly as it was swept downstream and started to swing. By that time the dry was getting wet, so the fish may have thought it was a mayfly starting to emerge from its nymphal shuck.
I caught the fish, a beautiful 14-inch brown trout (Salmo trutta). The trout took one of my hand-tied dry flies; my own creation. I carefully released it after we both posed for a photo op of course.
While I was fishing I met three guys from Calgary Canada who were staying in Lake Placid for a veterinary medicine conference. They rented some waders and tackle from Tom Conway at the Two Fly Shop in Wilmington. They had an assortment of flies and were out whipping the water. One fellow never fly fished before so I worked with him, gave him a couple of my special home grown flies and let him whip away. He was the one who took the photo of me with the fish. Fly fishing folks swap or share flies with other fly guys. Worm guys don't.
Being from the flat prairie country of Canada, they were impressed with the beauty of the Adirondacks. I was up in the Canadian prairies so I know what the terrain is like. Canadian wheat and flat paprika colored plains. There are miles and miles of flat, to gently rolling wheat fields and prairie. Prairie is French for grassland. Those fly fishing prairie guys hope to return to our mountains someday.

USB Connection Information
Compatibility Information
The SideWinder Force Feedback 2 software was designed to run on Windows 98 or Windows 2000 Professional operating system. It is not compatible with earlier Windows-based operating systems.
To install the SideWinder software under Windows 2000, you must log on as an administrator.
The SideWinder Force Feedback 2 software is compatible with Windows 2000 Professional. However, signed drivers were not available at the time this software was released. If it's important to you to have signed drivers, please check the SideWinder Update Web site for an updated version of the software.
To install the SideWinder software under Windows 2000, you must log on as an administrator.
If you're recording a game command and can't see the recorded characters in the SideWinder software, or if your current profile appears to be blank, this may be due to a Windows font problem. To resolve the problem, restart your computer.
SideWinder Force Feedback 2 Software
When you record a macro consisting of two or more keys or buttons pressed simultaneously, the Game Action Recorder may insert extra keys or button presses into the macro. This occurs because the Game Action Recorder is extremely sensitive to joystick and keyboard input. For example, A+B might get recorded as A A+B B; AA+B; or A+BB. If this occurs, select the extraneous keystroke or button press, right-click, and then click Cut.
It is not possible to record the following keystroke combinations on the Keystrokes or Macros tab of the Game Action Recorder:
If you install SideWinder Game Device Software version 1.5 on your computer after the SideWinder Force Feedback 2 software has already been installed, your SideWinder Force Feedback 2 will no longer appear in Control Panel: Game Controllers. To fix this problem, disconnect the SideWinder Force Feedback 2 from the USB port, close the Control Panel, and then reconnect the joystick.
If you are using version 2.0 of the SideWinder Game Controller software with a SideWinder game pad and you also have the SideWinder Force Feedback 2 software installed, the Test tab in Control Panel: Game Controllers for the SideWinder game pad will display two game pads when both the SideWinder game pad and the SideWinder Force Feedback 2 are connected. The buttons on the second game pad (Game Pad 2) will not respond when you press buttons on either the SideWinder game pad or the SideWinder Force Feedback 2.
This happens because the Test tab in version 2.0 is able to test up to four SideWinder game pads that are connected together. It recognizes the SideWinder Force Feedback 2 as a game pad and displays a second device even though the SideWinder Force Feedback 2 is not compatible with version 2.0 of the software. You cannot test the SideWinder Force Feedback 2 on the Test tab for the SideWinder game pad. You can use this page to test the buttons on your SideWinder game pad, however only Game Pad 1 in the picture will respond when you press the SideWinder game pad's buttons.
To test the buttons on your SideWinder Force Feedback 2, select it from the list of devices in Control Panel: Game Controllers, click Properties, and then click the Test tab. (This starts the SideWinder Force Feedback 2 software.)
Game Play and Game Compatibility Issues
If your joystick's forces do not appear to be working, see the Troubleshooting section of the software User's Guide for tips on how to solve force feedback issues.
You may experience problems in some games while using the SideWinder Force Feedback 2. If this occurs, try the following troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the problem.
If your game isn't responding to the joystick or some of its controls, try the following:
For more information about any of the previous troubleshooting tips, please refer to the SideWinder Force Feedback 2 software User's Guide.
If you continue to experience problems:
If the troubleshooting tips included here and in the SideWinder Force Feedback 2 User's Guide don't resolve your problem, your game might not be compatible with the SideWinder Force Feedback 2. You can also try:
Some games do not work as expected with USB game controllers. For example, game response may be slower than normal when playing with a USB game controller.
Incompatible games:
SideWinder USB game controllers will function with most MS-DOS games played under Windows 98; however, there are some games that do not work with USB controllers. If you are having difficulty playing your MS-DOS game, it may be due to USB incompatibility.
When playing MS-DOS games with SideWinder USB game controllers, keep in mind the following:
USB Connection Information
If you have a USB hub and you connect, disconnect, and then reconnect two or more SideWinder USB game controllers to the hub in succession, Control Panel: Game Controllers may not update correctly and you may receive a "Game Controller Not Connected" message for a game controller that is connected to the hub.
To fix this problem, close Control Panel: Game Controllers and then re-open it to update the game controller's status in the Control Panel.
If you have both version 3.02 and version 4.0 of the SideWinder software installed on your computer and have at least one version 3.02-compatible USB controller (SideWinder Precision Pro USB or SideWinder Freestyle Pro USB) connected in addition to the SideWinder Force Feedback 2, your system may freeze up when you start or restart your computer.
If this occurs, unplug any version 3.02-compatible game controllers that are connected to your computer, start Windows 98 or Windows 2000, and then re-connect your USB game controllers.

From now on all game updates will be posted on http://www.rsgames.ca
Thanks for your time, please remember to visit our new site every day for updates. :D
It is a nice day to be up and awake because I have been hard at work, If you haven't noticed the site has been undergoing changes, and I have been looking into a better user interface website.
The site should be updating almost every day, I do try to keep game updates but I can't make many promises. I will be posting a screen shot of what I have so far in the game. Of course the alpha will be possibly web game, or a computer game. I do realize that this update is small and I have not made any updates in a while so I apologize. I wish you a fare week.
Beware Android users for we will get you to soil yourselves! We have gotten the Android License, so we can make our game Web and Android o.o. You may be asking "well what about the IOS?" Well the thing is that the IOS is a mac only license and here at RSG we only currently have Windows... (I don't even have a Smart Phone (let alone one that has the Android OS), so hooray!! *rolls eyes*. Well cory and I have been working hard and I wish that you have a good week because I will not be posting till next week. (Exciting news next week when I return!)
Alpha Test is Tomorrow and I think you will be surprised to find out that there are a lot of differences between what I have shown you and will you will see only because the old files were corrupted, >.<.
Errors, bugs, problems loading file, ect.. have been happening just today as I was trying to build the game to import it, sigh!! It will take a long time to recover. NExt update will be on wed-thurs.
Cory Lynch has created a website where you can see what he has completed.
He will post a comment to let you know when it's finished.
Ahhhh*Yawn* yeah its late its approx 12am EST and I said I would be 10:30 on Facebook...well I did not make it as you can see. but the reason is that I have been hard at work designing the area and getting a Demonstration game ready for those that I have authorized to test it. Well as for the good side I have been working on mastering Autodesk Maya and well its getting very easy.
The following above is just the first preview of a ruins that will be located near the players spawn point in the demo. (Look for it one is hidden and another is in the open.
Now as you are wondering if the next preview update will be later today probably 10pm est... well we will see about that, there is a possibility that it would be earlier or some time late Monday. My apologizes if it turns out to be Monday
That is correct, there will be testing for testers so far there are many but we still need more, so email us at email@example.com and say why you qualify for testing our game and if we accept you will be getting the (pre-pre alpha) game, and you will be emailed 2-4 times a week with updated files for you to test with new areas. BUT make sure you email us glitches, problems, and errors that occur in the game. And you should know that you will be granted special rewards once the game is released if you help us! So Stay tuned and wait for us to email you.
On other news, if you have not been looking at our facebook page ( http://www.facebook.com/Terrifyingpresence ) or twitter page ( https://twitter.com/Runscaredgames ) be sure to like and follow them, for special updates that wont be seen on this site, and back to the start of the conversation I have been posting pictures of progress in the game, and everything has been coming out very well. Cory and I have been discussing the last couple of days (except for today) and we have had great progress in the further development of our game.
Arial Valley. (Above)
And Buero Bay Beach (Above)
And I will leave you off with that.
Hi Everyone, in today's update I have been creating an area so massive it would take the character 4 hours to walk and 60 cities to hold (with spaces in between) Hooray! And here is the picture!
Here is a picture from my browser, and yeah it is just the trees and the mountains but hey it looks pretty good so far. And its just off to a good pace right now.
Well As I promised on twitter, an update!! But it will be tragically late I'm afraid, because I am behind on school work and other work aroundthe update will have to wait approx. 1-2 hours so stay tuned.! The update will appear on the top as always.
We are still looking for donations (and we need a lot of them) so if you can donate a single dollar. It is completely optional. We just want you to be happy that you took place in helping build this company. Remember that you as the player and as the reader and as a viewer are our utmost asset while we build our company and game.
And the kick in the head......Very little viewers so go out there kick your friend in the head (not literally) and tell them "Hi can you please go to this site? The person posting is really desperate and wants to have more viewers and if there are more viewers then we can see more and get more updates!!".
If they don't come to the site oh well, but I really meant it, I will be posting concepts and will be doing live videos of us drawing what you ask us to O.O I know you must be thinking "WHAT IN THE WORLD!! HE WOULD LISTEN TO US AND DRAW WHAT WE SAY IF HE GETS ENOUGH VISITORS" And four times a week to "Wait 4 times a week?! So if we don't get to say something that we wanted to say the time before we can ask that it be drawn the next time!! What is the catch?!" Oh the catch is only that we have to set a basis for what were drawing say an Armor or a Weapon. "Omg This is amazing I can't wait to go out there and tell my friends!".
So if you want this to happen at least the Live drawing sessions, you will have to go out into the internet and tell your friends or walk out into the world and tell your friends face to face so you can watch over them and see that they visit the website. Don't forget to Sign Up either.
Sorry I have not posted in a while I have caught the flew and have just recent made a recovery. Cory and I have been working on designs and models, drawing and doing concepts. So I hope you can forgive me for not posting....Well that was the bad news the good news is that I have been writing the script for start of the game, and have been touching up on some nearly non existent programming skills and working on my mathematics. Cory and I are still looking at Unreal Engine and Unigine but so far we are liking Unity and suggest that you download the Unity Web Player for when we are ready for Alpha Testing which I am going to say truthfully is going to be probably in Late August to Early October. If were lucky it will be earlier but since we are a new company I have high hopes that it will come just in that estimated time range let alone earlier.
We are learning very quickly thought learning from 3D Buzz http://wwww.3dbuzz.com
and I hope that things will come smoothly. Wish us luck, I will be posting tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that and ect...
Thanks for reading
We are looking for donations so we can buy Hardware, Software, and web-hosting for our company. We would appreciate it if you would donate. If you wish to donate click our donations page and have a great day.
What we have:
Game Engine: Unity (http://www.unity3d.com)
Progress: (out of 100% Till Game Alpha Release) %99.999999999/100%

Ex-Southern Baptist president delivers an anti-gay sermon at the legislature
A baptist minister invited to give a devotional at the opening of the Georgia House of Representatives on Wednesday (14 January) took the opportunity to rant against gay rights, which he called 'erotic liberty.'
Bryant Wright, pastor of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church and former president of the Southern Baptist convention, reminded legislators that their role was to protect citizens against the 'evil,' in this case gay marriage.
The Iowa City First Baptist Church has become the first Baptist church in the state to allow same-sex couples to marry under its roof in a Christian ceremony, four years after the state legalized same-sex marriage
Iowa City's First Baptist Church has become the first Baptist church in the US state of Iowa to perform religious marriages for same-sex couples.
The First Baptist Church as labelled itself as an 'open and inclusive' community for over a decade but only recently voted to join the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists (AWAB) and to allow same-sex couples to wed under its roof.
Majority of religious delegates say same-sex marriage is not a civil rights issue
Thousands of Southern Baptists voted gays do not deserve to have equal civil rights yesterday (20 June).
The decision comes a day after the American religious group for the first time voted black man Fred Luter as their leader, striving to erase the organization's legacy of racism.
The majority of delegates said same-sex marriage is not a civil rights issue, as it affects their strong Christian faith.
In sermon, Sean Harris advocated punching effeminate acting boys
Sean Harris, the Baptist pastor in North Carolina who advocated that fathers 'punch' their sons if they start to act effeminately, is suffering backlash from other Christians who say 'violence and child abuse can never be justified by the teachings of Jesus Christ.'
Sean Harris says: 'Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist'
The pastor of a Baptist church in North Carolina had some advice for parents during his Sunday sermon this week: beat your children if they start to behave differently from their gender.
Sean Harris, senior pastor of Berean Baptist Church in Fayettesville, said to his congregation: 'Can I make it any clearer? Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. Man up. Give him a good punch. Ok? You are not going to act like that. You were made by God to be a male and you are going to be a male.'

Nineboys Wedge
A UK-made, off-the-shelf diddley bow!
We've tested some strange things over the years, but this has to take the biscuit, or indeed the tin can.
The diddley bow was created in the American South - and before that in Africa - by nailing a piece of wire to the side of a shack (or something more portable) and creating a vocal-like wailing tune by sliding a piece of metal or glass up and down it: a one- string slide 'guitar'.
Our sample is more sophisticated, but not much - like a one-string lap-steel with a bolt as the nut and a slightly flattened tin can as the bridge/ resonator. A rather over-spec'd Gibson-style humbucker picks up the sound, and we even get a volume control.
All of this, along with a transparent stick-on fret guide, is mounted on a tapered piece of two-and-a-half by four-inch pine.
"We made a right ol' bluesy racket that modern slidesmiths such as Jack White or Seasick Steve would be proud of"
We tuned the thick unwound string to G, picked up a slide (a kitchen knife worked well!) and made a right ol' bluesy racket that modern slidesmiths such as Jack White or Seasick Steve would be proud of.
Fans of African and Asian music will easily find a use for it, too. It has a honky resonance, very different from even the cheapest lap-steel, and plugged in with some gain it also has a tendency to self-oscillate like a kind of lo-fi Fernandes Sustainer or other-worldly theremin, but in a good way.
MusicRadar Rating
Well, someone had to do it.
Nothing... if one- string blues/world music slide does it for you, that is.
Strangely addictive. Sure, you could make your own, but if you can't be bothered, Nineboys has done it for you.

My Moveable FeastParis, Summer 2012
As I walked home Tuesday at 12:30 a.m. after my last night out in Paris, "Yeah" by Usher was stuck in my head.
Damnit Amanda, this isn't appropriate. You should be humming some sob-worthy song because you're leaving tomorrow, I thought to myself. I tried to think of sad songs that would be the perfect backdrop as I attempted to use this final walk home from the Tour Maubourg metro stop to my quaint apartment so that I could produce some deep thoughts regarding my time abroad. My self-inflicted bullying didn't seem to do the trick, though. Well, not until the next day.
During my travel home Wednesday, I would've done anything to have "Yeah" stuck in my head to help stop myself from crying in my apartment elevator, on the street outside, or most notably, on the bathroom floor on the plane. I felt like I was watching a clip of some heartbroken woman who was going through the "everything is going wrong in my life" movie scene, except that woman was me and I couldn't sit through a mere 15 minutes to see the happy ending. When I got back to my seat after my low moment on the bathroom floor, I ate six Ladurée macarons to console myself. However, after realizing that I had consumed 15 euro worth of French delicacies that I had intended to bring back for family and friends, that sweet taste in my mouth became cloying. I hadn't felt so low in months.
Yet when I got off the plane and started walking through the Detroit airport, it hit me: I knew why "Yeah" had been stuck in my head the night before. I thought back to my weekend in Amsterdam, where I had found myself dancing on the stage to no other song but "Yeah." It was at that moment that I remembered how many great experiences I had while I was abroad. It wasn't something to be sad about, but instead, something to be grateful for. I finally left my "heartbroken woman" clip in the movie in my head; I could see the happy ending. While I wasn't there yet, I could see it before me.
When I landed in Fort Wayne, I saw two of my closest friends (thanks Dylan and Drew!) waiting for me at the gate with a welcome home sign and can of coke, at which point I remembered all the great things that are here for me at home. I still had a lingering feeling of sadness in my heart, but I also felt relief. While I was no longer living in one of the greatest cities in the world, à mon avis, I was in a city with so many people that I love and care about.
So I'm glad "Yeah" was stuck in my head on my last night in Paris instead of a sad song. While leaving a place you love is sad, you can't look at it that way. You have to look at the experience as a whole and be grateful for it. That, and I know I'll be back one day. This isn't the last you'll see of me, France.

We examined the solid-state water-soluble amorphous precursors that are formed by partial thermal decomposition of Al(NO)·9HO (aluminum nitrate nonahydrate: ANN) using Raman and FTIR and solid-state magic-angle spinning NMR spectroscopy. We also studied the species formed in the aqueous alumosols formed by dissolution of the pre-ceramic precursors using Al NMR spectroscopy. Species identified in the alumosols included the Al(HO) monomer, the [AlOAl(OH)(HO)](Al) Keggin ion, and the Al polycation, [AlO(OH)(HO)], as well as various other oligomers or nanoparticles containing IV-, V- and VI-coordinated Al ions. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

FIRE reports that a professor at East Georgia College was fired after he noted that the college's sexual harassment policy provides no protection for the falsely accused. If true, EGC could be staring at a First Amendment retaliation lawsuit that will raise interesting questions about the scope of the Supreme Court's holding in Garcetti v. Ceballos as applied to college faculty. There, the Court held that public employees do not have a right to free speech when acting pursuant to their official duties. However, the Court specifically stated that educators are exempt from this standard. Nevertheless, some colleges have already argued that Garcetti gives them absolute authority over what their faculty say on and off campus. I'm glad FIRE's involved and hope that EGC sees the error of its ways.
To borrow a Texas custom, we should all tip our hats to the officials at Texas A&M University. Why? Because they chose to honor the First Amendment rights of their students instead of following the misguided lead of most other public universities in America.
Almost every public college and university in the country currently requires student organizations to abide by a nondiscrimination policy in order to receive and maintain official recognition status. These policies forbid student organizations from discriminating against potential members based on a number of categories, including race, sex, national origin, religion, and sexual orientation. Most would see this as a laudable effort. But the inherent flaw in such policies is that they bring a one-size-fits-all paradigm to student organizations that leaves little breathing room for the First Amendment.
Let me demonstrate. We would all answer affirmatively if asked whether a public university has the authority, and indeed the moral duty, to prohibit a student club from rejecting African-Americans from becoming members. But when a student organization is formed to promote certain ideas and beliefs, should the university have the power to force that group to accept persons who dissent from the group's belief system? Most universities confidently answer, "Yes," on the grounds that they need to prevent all discrimination on campus. This profound and bold-sounding response, however, is demonstrably wrong. Why? The First Amendment provides the answer.
The First Amendment guarantees the freedom to join with others to form organizations, advance particular viewpoints, and to associate with like-minded individuals around a core of beliefs. This freedom of association strengthens our cherished rights to free speech and free exercise of religion. Thus, when a group of college students decides to form an organization to advance a set of beliefs, they are employing their freedoms of speech, association, and–in the case of religious groups–exercise of religion. Although the university has broad authority to regulate the conduct of such student organizations, this authority must stop where the student group's First Amendment rights begin.
So, where is this line in the context of nondiscrimination policies? It lies at the intersection of status and belief. The university can stop status-based exclusions unless the protected status is belief-based, as in the case of religion. What sets apart a member of a certain religious group is not some visible, immutable characteristic, but rather, a set of beliefs. When a university forbids a religious organization from selecting its membership based on religion, the university is essentially dictating what the organization can believe. The First Amendment condemns this type of government compulsion.
Texas A&M grasped this principle after engaging in discussions with the ADF Center for Academic Freedom, and allowed the student organization, Freshmen Leaders in Christ (FLiC), to continue its mission of training Christian freshmen to become Christian leaders. By working with ADF and responding to the needs of its students, Texas A&M has made the First Amendment feel quite at home in College Station. If only other universities were so welcoming.
Camille Paglia writes this today about the problem of indoctrination in higher education:
But affluent middle-class Democrats now seem to be complacently servile toward authority and automatically believe everything party leaders tell them. Why? Is it because the new professional class is a glossy product of generically institutionalized learning? Independent thought and logical analysis of argument are no longer taught. Elite education in the U.S. has become a frenetic assembly line of competitive college application to schools where ideological brainwashing is so pandemic that it's invisible. The top schools, from the Ivy League on down, promote "critical thinking," which sounds good but is in fact just a style of rote regurgitation of hackneyed approved terms ("racism, sexism, homophobia") when confronted with any social issue. The Democratic brain has been marinating so long in those clichés that it's positively pickled.
In any campaign, logistics represents an essential, though often overlooked, component of victory. While Napoleon once quipped that "an army marches on its stomach," a corollary of this principle holds true for the ADF Center for Academic Freedom: defending liberty requires funding. Thus, we are thrilled and grateful to announce a recent $9.2 million grant to support our efforts to defend the free speech and religious freedom rights of university students and faculty. With ADF matching this grant, just under $20 million—the largest effort of its kind ever—will be directed to defending the rights of university students and faculty and to eradicating unconstitutional university policies. This historic gift positions us to challenge university speech codes, to ensure that Christian and conservative student organizations can operate on campus freely, and to eliminate ideological litmus tests for students and faculty. While this grant should serve as a warning for universities, it should also reassure students that the Alliance Defense Fund and the ADF Center for Academic Freedom are committed to defending their freedoms over the long term. In a nutshell, thanks to the generosity both of those behind the grant and of those who will help us meet the match, the Lord has graciously allowed us to expand our efforts to restore the marketplace of ideas and to keep the door open for the spread of the Gospel on campus.
Update: David French, the Director of the ADF Center for Academic Freedom, recently appeared on The Michael Medved Show and on Moody Radio's Prime Time America to discuss this unprecedented grant and what it means for Christian students and faculty members.


text: Has anyone compared the difference between the 2? I am getting the Promise Fasttrak tx2300 soon and hope it is going to be an upgrade. Ever since I got rid of my old Promise ata raid setup, I feel like I have a much increased cpu overhead but with higher throughput and some loss of responsiveness. In all honestly, I've thought about putting it back in. My new drives are NCQ capable and have 8mb cache vs my old 2mb ones. The nforce 3 does not support NCQ, the tx2300 supports sata2 fully along with NCQ. The biggest benefit is being able to keep the same install on the same array no matter what I upgrade including the motherboard (which isn't too far away). If anyone has done the switch or could even reference me a site that has compared it, would be most helpful.

Following our previous successes (2010, 2011, and 2012 winter meetings), at the 2013 meeting in New Orleans (February 17-22), we will conduct the S-Factor Video Workshop once again. Randy Olson, the marine biologist–turned filmmaker, will bring his Hollywood "S Team" for expert critiques. Randy has written and directed films about the oceans (his Shifting Baselines shorts), evolutionary biology ("Flock of Dodos") and climate change ("Sizzle"), authored the book Don't Be Such a Scientist, and for 2013 has a new historical documentary about a part of World War II featuring the voices of Richard Dreyfuss, Martin Sheen, and Brian Dennehy. As he did for the 2012 Ocean Sciences meeting, he will bring two Hollywood veterans: Dorie Barton, script analyst and actress (e.g, Meet the Fockers, Down with Love) and Brian Palermo, improv instructor and actor (e.g., The Social Network, Disney's Girl VS. Monster) to join him on the S Factor Panel and other workshops in New Orleans.
WE WANT YOUR SHORT VIDEOS! As with previous S Factor Workshops, we want you to submit your videos explaining aquatic science for lay public consumption. We will select 10 for presentation and analysis, which (believe it or not) is fun and informative for everyone, including the filmmaker. The workshop will occur in two parts: Monday at the mid-day lunch break and Tuesday evening. As in the past, videos must not exceed 5 minutes and should be in YouTube format. We will open our website for submission of videos in December, but wanted to get you thinking about submitting a video. If you have any questions, contact Jon Sharp (jsharp at UDel Edu>

Marcus Thigpen returned a kick and a punt for touchdowns last season. He's hoping that's just the start.Thigpen, a former Canadian Football Leaguer and second-year NFLer, has his sights set high for what he hopes is an illustrious career in the big leagues. "My goal is to get at least seven returns for touchdowns on kick returns and punt returns combined," Thigpen told MiamiDolphins.com recently. "I want to do something that's never been done before and anything's possible."Thigpen averaged 27.4 yards a kick return last season, which included his 96-yarder that went all the way against the Buffalo Bills. He gained 12.2 a return on punts, as well, with his score against the Houston Texans coming from 72 yards out.The special-teamer has clearly embraced his role as a return guy, but he doesn't plan to stop there."...

All you need to do to install Linux is to boot off Linux install medium.
What OS is on the hard drive is inconsequential. You don't install Linux
from "within" Linux; you just boot a Linux install disk/floppy. That said,
I'm sure there are fancy-pants way of installing Linux. But that would be
needless complicated.
However, if the ultimate goal is to change the boot sequence, installing
Linux won't help at all. Linux has nothing to do with setting BIOS config
If she really wants to change the boot options, she'll have to get into
That said, if what happened is that she changed the "factory default"
settinga and wants to set it back, then she can drain CMOS to reset back to
the default setting.
Every theory is killed sooner or later, but if the theory has good in it,
that good is embodied and continued in the next theory. -- Albert Einstein

Modified Mustangs & FordsEvents
SEMA Show 2012
Crashing the automotive aftermarket's biggest party in search of the latest high-performance parts
9. Edelbrock unveiled its new E-Street electronic fuel injection system that is designed to work with any carburetor intake manifold with a 4150-style flange. The system is ready to run right out of the box, features a wide-band oxygen sensor for accurate air/fuel ratio monitoring, and utilizes dynamic fuel control to learn your engine's requirements. One thing that sets the E-Street EFI apart from others is the included 7-inch tablet used to program the system. The tablet is a wireless, blue-tooth-based unit that also offers a digital dashboard application for engine monitoring. To complement the E-Street EFI, Edelbrock offers a few different fuel system options, including this new universal fuel reservoir kit. This kit is designed for vehicles that are equipped with low-pressure, carbureted fuel systems, and is installed under the hood. The reservoir kit eliminates the need for a return line and is capable of delivering a constant 60 psi of fuel pressure.
10. For all of the Coyote 5.0L engine swappers out there, C&R Racing is offering this aluminum radiator/electric fan setup just for classic Mustangs. C&R offers high-quality, high-performance radiators for most Mustangs, and now they are offering one just for classic Mustangs that have a Coyote between the fenders. Available with the standard core or race core, each radiator comes with AN-20 inlets and outlets, as well as an internal thermostat and Spal dual electric fans.
11. San Diego-based HRE Wheels and Wisconsin-based automotive artisans Ringbrothers have come together to offer the new Ringbrothers Editions by HRE Wheels. Mike and Jim Ring have certainly pushed the envelope of muscle car design, and they have applied that same design philosophy to the new Ringbrothers wheel line. HRE will initially offer two unique Ringbrothers designs, the RB1 that utilizes HRE's proven Monoblok technology, while the RB2 (Pictured) is a lightweight, high-strength forged three-piece. The new Ringbrothers Editions will be available in 18-, 19-, 20-, and 21-inch diameters, with widths ranging from 8 to 13 inches. Custom bolt patterns are also available as are optional center-lock hubs.
12. Designed to complement the EZ-EFI 2.0 system, these die-cast aluminum valve covers and air cleaner are a nice high-end upgrade over your typical stamped and chrome-plated steel dress up items. The FAST logo is prominently displayed on both of these black-crinkle-coated items, and the valve covers feature a tall profile for valvetrain clearance. Breathers are included, and the valve covers (not the SBC ones pictured, of course) fit small-block Ford engines. The unique air cleaner features a hidden fastener design that is covered with a magnetic logo insert, and it is available in 14x8x3 and 14x12x2½ sizes.
13. McLeod Racing's new Line Launch is sure to be a hit with the drag racing crowd. It allows you to disengage the clutch hydraulically, and at the push of the button, drop the hammer and enjoy hard launches. An added benefit is that McLeod has a two-stage switch, so you can tie the Line Launch into your roll control device and operate the two simultaneously.
14. For small-block Ford race engines operating in the 3,500-7,500rpm range, Trick Flow now offers a carbureted R-Series intake manifold. Features include extra material for porting, integrated bosses for fuel injectors or nitrous nozzles, and a choice of mounting patterns.
15. Scott Drake just came out with this Boss 302-style oil pan baffle and pickup tube. Made to fit the Scott Drake Mustang reproduction oil pan, this kit is a great upgrade to your early 260/289/302 small-block and will help prevent oil starvation during spirited driving.
16. The latest in bolt-on EFI, FAST's EZ-EFI 2.0 features ignition control, a higher flowing and higher horsepower capable throttle body, and tuning that will support 1,200 horsepower. The handheld tuning interface has been updated with a color touch screen, as well as on-board diagnostics and EZ-Test indicator lights. EZ-EFI can be used with a number of different fuels, and comes dressed in a sweet black crinkle coat.
17. Taking advantage of Ford's EcoBoost technology is this 3.5L V-6 EcoBoost crate engine from Ford Racing Performance Parts. The twin-turbo, direct-injected mill offers a stout 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque—enough to embarrass most small-blocks these days—while offering superior fuel economy. As no one has had a chance to drop one of these between the fenders of a classic Mustang, the jury is still out on shock tower fitment, however, Ford Racing will make the install easy by offering an electronic controls pack for the engine. Look for this to hit the shipping docks in the spring of 2013.
18. Available for '64-'68 Mustangs, these remote control mirrors from Scott Drake feature integrated LED turn signals. Trick pieces for sure and a nice addition to your restomod.
19. For those high-friction, high-heat racing environments, C&R Racing offers this Pro-touring Ford 9-Inch Rear Gear with Internal Oil pump. The pump circulates the diff fluid to an external cooler to ensure optimum lubrication of the differential and ring and pinion gears. The lightweight, nodular-iron housing can be fitted with optional gears that have been chemically treated to reduce friction. C&R offers the package with numerous gear and differential options as well.
20. Seeing a need for something a bit more aggressive than what it offers in it's current line up of hydraulic roller, small-block Ford camshafts, Trick Flow Specialties just added a pair of race-bred profiles to its Track Max line. The smaller of the two features a duration split of 242/246 at 0.050, with lift figures of 0.595.595 and an LSA of 110 degrees. The more aggressive of the two profiles features the same LSA and lift figures, while stepping up duration to 250/254 at 0.050.
21. NASCAR brought in electronic fuel injection to its Sprint Cup series in 2012, and Holley now offers the same 950-cfm throttle body that is used on those 200-mph screamers for your hot rod at home. Terminator EFI is a bolt-on EFI system that is ready to start and run after answering just a few short questions about your combination. The unit self tunes from there. The integrated injectors are designed for 200- to 600hp applications, and the throttle body will fit any 4150-flanged intake manifold. Holley offers a number of optional fuel systems as well.
22. Eight Stack Injection had a number of products on display, including this small-block Ford setup that featured black wrinkle coat assemblies, along with polished stacks and manifold. Looking to complement it's offering for Windsor, FE, and SOHC engines, Eight Stack also has plans for a forthcoming eight-stack injection system for the 5.0L Coyote engine as well.
23. Robert Pond Motorsports was on hand to display its latest SOHC high-performance engine parts, including these trick aluminum cylinder heads. The CNC-ported runners are said to flow about 15 percent better than the factory castings, and RPM added five additional boltholes to the exhaust flange for better sealing. Whether you need individual parts or a complete engine, Robert Pond Motorsports most likely has you covered on the 427 SOHC front.

Banjul — The Gambia Forestry Commu-nication Concept (GFCC) recently concluded a one-day training workshop for media practitioners at the Fisheries Department conference Hall in Banjul.
The aim of the workshop was to elevate awareness, create social consciousness and foster a shared sense of responsibility for improving the lives of people and their communication through the protection of their natural environment. It also aims to facilitate a nationwide commu-nication campaign between the forestry department and The Gambian public of which the media society is no exception.
The coordinator of Community Forestry and Forestry Commu-nication Concept, Almami Dampha, urged the media practitioners to open a dialogue with the forestry department to continue relating information to the grassroots level. "There are a lot of information at the department, but without the help of the media, the information will lie there dusty," he said, promising that the department's door are always open for them.
The Media Coordinator at the forestry department, Saikou Samateh said the overall goal of GFCC is to achieve the sustainable management of The Gambia's natural forest resources in cooperation with local communities.
"To create a coherent pattern of communication, we have developed a set of themes under which we group intended messages and target specific demographic," he said.

Sharjah to shift Abu Shagara used car market
Afkar Abdullah / 24 May 2010
The Sharjah Municipality has decided to shift the used car market to Al Ruqha Al Hamrah, thus reviving the plans that had been shelved earlier.
The plan was put on hold due to the high cost involved in the project and ongoing construction projects around the proposed area.
The move will involve increasing the area and adopting a new design which will allow accommodation of 600 used cars show rooms existing in Abu Shagara.
Speaking exclusively to Khaleej Times, Sultan Al Mualla, Director General of Sharjah Municipality, said that the initial project was cancelled and the civic body is currently studying the new designs and ways of shifting the market in Abu Shagara.
The municipality will soon call for tenders following the approval of designing of the project. He said the construction of a multi-storey car park and the new used cars market in Al Ruqha Al Hamrah is aimed at solving problems faced by the residents of Abu Shagara. The municipality is working towards quick execution of these projects, following several complaints received from the residents of Abu Shagara, on the traffic and parking woes faced daily, he said.
Residents of Abu Shagara expressed their satisfaction at the news. The area is no longer good for living. Already, a large number of people have moved to other areas. Its now very polluted, noisy, crowded and unsafe for families, said Salah AL Tyeb, resident of the area.
Nimat Ahmed, another resident of Sharjah, said she is tired of waiting for the municipality promising to shift the used cars market from the locality. She has complained that parking problems persist in Abu Shagara despite the Sharjah Municipalitys efforts to introduce parking meters and other facilities.
She pointed out that companies dealing in used cars located in the neighbourhood continue to occupy almost all parking spaces in the area. Hence, she is sometimes forced to look for parking space far away from her building.
The owners of used cars show rooms also welcomed the opening of used cars market file and urged the municipality to execute the project as quickly as possible, as it has been delayed for two years.
Mohammed Amjad, owner of Al Hikmah Used Cars showroom said that the completion of the new used market is the only solution to protect the business. This is a residential area in which more than 500 used cars showrooms are doing business. The residents are suffering a lot and the owners of the showrooms are losing money. The municipality towes away cars and fines me Dh500 and Dh300 as recovery fee.
I ended up paying a lot of money which made me lose out not only on my profit, but also my capital. The cars were parked on the road as the space given to me by the municipality was not enough for display, he said.
Siddiqi Rahman, owner of Al Taqwa showroom, said, We hope not to hear that the project of new used cars market is delayed again due to the financial crisis or some other issue. Its very difficult for us to keep the business running in this situation, because the little profit we make goes in the payment of fines to the municipality which tows our cars away daily.

Appointment: 2012 to 2015
Erik Linstrum is a historian of modern Britain and the British Empire. His first book, Making Minds Modern: Psychology in the British Empire, traces the global circulation of innovations in mind science — laboratory measurements, psychoanalysis, and mental testing — which reshaped British rule in unexpected ways. The promise of measuring and managing minds anywhere in the world encouraged far-reaching plans for the transformation of colonized societies, from child-rearing and character-building to the promotion of talent in schools, factories, and armies. Even as the techniques of mind science became increasingly commonplace across the world, however, the modernizing ambitions which fueled their movement were seldom realized in practice. As the product of a surprisingly fraught relationship between experts and the imperial state, the strange career of psychology in the empire illustrates the limitations as well as the reach of expert knowledge on a global scale. Making Minds Modern is under contract with Harvard University Press.
Linstrum received his Ph.D. from Harvard and held fellowships with the Institute of Historical Research in London and the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard before coming to Michigan. His work has appeared in Past & Present, the Journal of the History of Ideas, and other publications. He has received the Walter D. Love Prize from the North American Conference on British Studies, the FHHS Article Prize from the Forum for History of Human Science, the Bowdoin Prize for best graduate essay at Harvard, and the Harold K. Gross Prize for best dissertation in the History Department at Harvard. He plans to write his next book on the history of technology and violence in the British Empire since the late nineteenth century.
