Women's hockey: England takes 4-1 win over Wales
England forwards will be thanking hat-trick hero Crista Cullen for saving their blushes as the 2006 bronze medalists won their opening game against neighbours Wales in Group B, after dominating the entire 70 minutes.
The Leicester full-back swept home three penalty corner drag flicks past Welsh stopper Margaret Rees before Charlotte Craddock capitalised on a loose ball to give the top ranked side in Delhi a four goal advantage.
But Wales, who had rarely threatened the England defence, pulled a goal back late on when forward Sarah Thomas drifted easily past four defenders before beating Beth Storry in the England goal.
Cullen made up for some poor finishing from the England forwards and head coach Danny Kerry admitted that his side must improve in front of goal if they are going to win gold.
He said: "We need to set high standards and we expect high standards from out teammates if we had done that that today it could have been double figures.
"I am happy with the performance just really disappointed with our play in the attacking circle. If we don't have that application in the circle we won't win Gold," added a downbeat Kerry.
Captain Kate Walsh was also concerned that England could only score four goals considering the high percentage of play they had in Wales' half, she added: "We've got to be ruthless in these games, as the goal difference might count at the end of the tournament. We have to put in a gold medal winning performance every game."

Audio Applications of Matrix Completion
Date:Tue, 11/27/2012 - 5:30pm - 7:00pm
Location:CCRMA Classroom [Knoll 217]
Event Type:DSP Seminar
"Audio Applications of Matrix Completion" --- Statistics PhD student Dennis Sun
Abstract: The Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is a powerful tool in the analysis and synthesis of audio. Regarding the output of the STFT as a matrix enables many audio applications, similar to techniques which have enjoyed popularity in the image processing and machine learning communities. In the first part of this talk, I describe a convex optimization approach to the classic problem of magnitude-only reconstruction --- how to recover a signal given only its magnitude spectrogram. The second part will discuss how the low-rank structure of audio spectrograms can be exploited for bandwidth extension, noise removal, and other audio application. This is joint work with Julius Smith and Rahul Mazumder.

text: Information from the Chessbase website: GREGORY HUBER: The Vienna Game C23-C29 Gregory Huber's CD actually covers two openings, including the Bishop's Opening (1.e4 e5 2.Bc4) as well as the Vienna Game (2.Nc3). This is logical, however, since in various lines of the Vienna Bc4 is also played and in the same fashion the Bishop's Opening often involves Nc3. Nor does the author omit further possible transitions – above all to certain variations of the King's Gambit – with the result that the CD offers a complete repertoire for 1.e4 e5. The work consists of a clearly laid out database containing 26 texts and 330 games, 220 of which have been annotated by the author. In addition there is a large database containing more than 27,000 games (a good 300 of which have been annotated), a training database with 124 training questions and a large opening tree constructed from all the games. All the features at a glance: • 26 database texts • clearly laid out database by the author • containing 330 selected games • large database with over 27,000 games • training database • reader based on ChessBase 9.0 The author: This is Canadian FIDE-Master Gregory Huber's début CD for ChessBase.

Update to Upgrade 2.0
Thanks to Jan Andrejkovic for pointing out a tool I missed in my column "Upgrade 2.0" [5]. Fedora ships with a program called Presto [6] that uses DeltaRPMs to provide smaller updates. In my first test, a normal update would have required 972MB of downloads, but with Presto, it was a mere 224MB (pretty impressive savings). Fedora 11 now includes a yum-presto package (not to be confused with the presto package that is a graphics-related engine) that is a plugin for the yum program. Installation is simple:
yum install yum-presto
First, manually update your /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo to include either a baseurl or mirrorurl pointing to a site that carries the presto RPMs (they are signed with the GnuPG key of Jonathan Dieter, so you need to trust him). Alternatively, you can run your own repository and create RPMs with the presto-utils. If you have more than one system, this might be your best bet.

Geographic Range
White-tailed rats, Brachytarsomys albicauda, can be found in eastern Madagascar from Marojejy (northeast) to Andringitra Massif (southeast). This is a long narrow strip of land stretching from north to south which has patches of rainforest. This is considered only the extent of their potential range, due to the rarity of human encounters with these rats. They have been confirmed at various locations in this range but not everywhere in it. (Baillie, 2006; Garbutt, 2007)
- Other Geographic Terms
- island endemic
White-tailed rats have strong, sharp, curved claws. This characteristic and many others indicate a high degree of specialization for arboreal life. that parallels the way it nests in tree holes. They live in tropical forested areas in Madagascar. They nest in tree holes, some have been observed in holes near the base of trees, most have been observed within 2.5 m of the ground.

Physical Description
There are two species in the genus Brachytarsomys , B. albicauda is the smaller of the two. Other than size, B. albicauda is distinguished from its cousin, Brachytarsomys villosa (Hairy-tailed antsangys) by its nearly furless tail. Though smaller than B. villosa, white-tailed rats are up to 50 cm long. They are easily identifiable by the white tip on the tail, which averages 230 mm long. White-tailed rats are covered in a thick coat of brownish-grey fur with a white underside. They have short snouts, giving the face a blunt look. (Garbutt, 2007)

- endothermic
- homoiothermic

Virtually nothing is known about the reproductive ecology of B. albicauda or its cousin B. villosa. However, observations suggest they are monogamous. (Carleton and Goodman, 2003)
- Mating System
- monogamous
Though there is little information available on the mating behavior of white-tailed rats, it is known that they can have litters of at least 6 in the wild. A female of this species was captured in late October with 6 well-formed embryos. Similarly, individuals held in captivity produced litters of 6 young. Unfortunately no other information about the offspring is reported (Carleton and Goodman, 2003)
- Key Reproductive Features
- iteroparous
- gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate)
- sexual
- viviparous
- Average number of offspring
- 6
Little is known about parental care in white-tailed rats. Observations suggest males may remain nearby after offspring are born and defend the nest while the female takes care of young. (Carleton and Goodman, 2003)

The natural lifespan of B. albicauda is unknown. The lifespan in captivity has not been published.
White-tailed rats are nocturnal and arboreal. It is assumed that they spend very little time on the ground. They have specific adaptations that indicate a primarily arboreal lifestyle. For example, they have an elongated fifth digit on the hind feet for better gripping and an unusually long and flexible tail for greater balance. Nest cavities are within hollowed portions of standing tree trunks and these rats travel along branches to reach foraging areas without having to move across the ground. If white-tailed rats are disturbed while on the nest, they will often appear at the entrance and chatter, perhaps to scare away the disturber. This may indicate that they are territorial or protective of young. Little else is documented about behavior. ("The Cricetid Rodents", 1975; Carleton and Goodman, 2003)
Home Range
There is little information about the home range of B. albicauda. It is assumed that individuals stay very close to their nesting area. (Carleton and Goodman, 2003)
Communication and Perception
Due to its nocturnal and arboreal nature, there have been few observations of white-tailed rat communication behaviors. Like most nocturnal mammals, olfaction is likely to be an important way of sensing the environment. (Carleton and Goodman, 2003)
- Communication Channels
- acoustic
Food Habits
White-tailed rats are generally described as frugivorous. According to some, their craniodental characteristics would be better suited for a leaf-eating (folivorous) diet. They have short rostra, broad zygomatic arches, relatively wide incisors and a long row of molars that have ridged masticatory surfaces. When offered an assortment of leaves in captivity, white-tailed rats refused to eat them, preferring only fruit. They may also eat seeds. (Carleton and Goodman, 2003; Garbutt, 2007; Miljutin, 2008)
- Plant Foods
- seeds, grains, and nuts
- fruit
No information on predation of B. albicauda is available. Their nocturnality is an anti-predator adaptation and their brown coloration serves as camouflage. (Nowak, 1991)
- Anti-predator Adaptations
- cryptic
Ecosystem Roles
No information on the ecological role of white-tailed rats is available. However, they may play a role in seed dispersal through their frugivorous habits.
- Ecosystem Impact
- disperses seeds
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
White-tailed rats are hunted by local people who consider them as tasty as lemurs. (Miljutin, 2008)
- Positive Impacts
- food
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There are no known adverse effects of B. albicauda on humans.
Conservation Status
White-tailed rats do not appear to be endangered. The IUCN redlist recognizes them as "least concern." However, continuing human-induced habitat changes may impact populations of white-tailed rats negatively. (Miljutin, 2008)

Least Concern

Other Comments
The subfamily Nesomyinae is diverse, with 9 known genera (including Brachytarsomys) and endemic to the island of Madagascar. This degree of endemicity is typical of Madagascar. It is unfortunate that so little is known about many of its native species. The forests of Madagascar continue to shrink due to human destruction and every day the diversity of the island is reduced.

A computed tomography (CT) technologist is a medical-imaging specialist who is responsible for running the equipment necessary to obtain images of clients needed by medical professionals providing care. CT technologists are directed by medical professionals to take an image of particular area of the patient.Read More...
After meeting the patient - in which the technologist must have a friendly demeanor that assuages any potential patient fears - the CT technologist explains the basics of the test to the patient and answers any questions the patient may have. When the patient is prepared, the CT technologist helps them into the testing apparatus and appropriately braces and stabilizes the patient. Then, the CT technician activates the imaging machine and observes the patient during the imaging process; they subsequently help the patient to exit the imaging apparatus before reviewing the obtained image(s) and properly annotating and recording them. Finally, the CT technologist sends the images to the requesting medical professional and offers any insight into the images that the medical professional desires.
CT technologists must be able to run a variety of medical imaging devices in accordance to procedures and standards that are established by law and medical ethics. To be appropriately trained in these procedures and standards, CT technologists must have an American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification and must have completed a two-year radiology program. CT technologists must be able to work flexible hours, due to the patient-driven nature of the medical profession.

Computed Tomography Technologists' salaries may rise greatly for those who assume a higher-end position such as a Radiology Manager. The average Radiology Manager brings home $70K per year. Becoming a Computed Tomography Scan Technologist or a CAT Scan Technologist is a common transition from a Computed Tomography Technologist role.
Survey results suggest that Computed Tomography Technologists put a wide range of professional skills to use. Most notably, skills in Computed Tomography, Emergency/Trauma, Picture Archival Computer System, and Radiology are correlated to pay that is above average. At the other end of the pay range are skills like mammography. Those proficient in Computed Tomography are, more often than not, also skilled in Picture Archival Computer System (PACS) and Emergency/Trauma.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Computed Tomography Technologists do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $48K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $54K. For Computed Tomography Technologists, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $60K. Veterans who have surpassed the 20-year mark may make only slightly more than those who are navigating the mid-career stage; the more senior group reports median earnings of around $64K.
For those looking to make money, Computed Tomography Technologists in New York enjoy an exceptional pay rate, 44 percent above the national average. Computed Tomography Technologists can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Seattle (+30 percent), Chicago (+19 percent), Dallas (+15 percent), and Austin (+13 percent). The smallest paychecks in the market, 14 percent south of the national average, can be found in Oklahoma City. Two other places where employers offer below-median salaries are Jacksonville (10 percent less) and Charleston (7 percent less).

9/11 victim's mom upset film used son's last words
9/11 victim's mom upset film used son's last words
NEW CANAAN, Conn. — A Connecticut woman whose son died in the Sept. 11 attacks at the World Trade Center says she's upset the Oscar-winning movie "Zero Dark Thirty" used a recording of his last words without her permission.
Mary Fetchet of New Canaan told CBS News and the Daily News this week that she was shocked the filmmakers didn't ask if they could use the voicemail her son, Bradley Fetchet, left on her phone while he was on the 89th floor of the World Trade Center's south tower.

Staffers supervise fun-filled visits, during which adult counterparts leap around with their kids through gargantuan bounce houses, skip down air-filled slides, and slither like snakes covered in bacon grease through an inflated obstacle course. The colorful venue also hosts custom birthday parties and private team parties, each themed to please the partygoers in question. These soirees immerse children in a schedule of interactive activities befitting a pirate or a superhero while melting off youthful energy faster than ice cubes thrown into a running DVD player. The birthday boy or girl even gets to blow out the candles on their cake seated in their blow-up throne. Occasionally, the staffers switch off the lights, arming the roomful of players with glow sticks and bracelets as they navigate the air-cushioned obstaclescape. Relying on the staffers' vigilant, watchful eyes, guardians can rest assured that their charges will stay safe, and each piece of the inflatable playground is held to the floor and ceiling by a complex series of anchors installed according to strict safety standards.1309 Elmer StreetBelmont, CA US
Kids Culinary AdventuresRead MoreThough they come from different backgrounds, the three chefs behind Kids Culinary Adventures have all seen the positive impact that cooking has on children. Chef Brian Allen honed his cooking technique at California Culinary Academy's Le Cordon Bleu Hospitality Management program, but he's been comfortable in the kitchen since childhood, when he would cook and bake with his father, mother, and grandfather. Chef Danielle Nunes also grew up in the kitchen, learning many of her grandmother's secret family recipes and discovering her passion for multicultural dishes. Pastry chef Caitlin Allen fine-tuned her baking skills at Walt Disney World's Yacht and Beach Bakery. Now, they coordinate private cooking classes, camps, and themed culinary-focused birthday parties for children of all ages. Many of their programs combine the culinary arts with lessons in math, reading, science, and visual arts. During private custom cooking classes, they work with individuals and groups to coordinate custom menus based on Italian, Mexican, or Asian recipes. Calibrated for kids as young as 3 years, their classes encourage proper nutrition and creative meal preparation, and teach kitchen cleanliness with visual aids such as "kitchen cooties," a culinary toolbox, and teddy bears carved out of soap. In multi-day camps, chefs teach academics and professional skills that help children execute DIY culinary tasks such as building a themed holiday menu, baking and decorating a cake, or mastering tools such as grills or woks.1275 Danmann Ave.Pacifica, CA US
Belmont Greek FestivalRead More420 pounds of butter. 900 eggplants. 210 gallons of honey. This isn't a recipe for a record-breaking dish, but rather, a portion of the ingredients that go into making this festival delicious. A crew of chefs and bakers spend the three-day event whipping these products and more into Greek dishes and pastries, employing the same recipes and culinary techniques that their forefathers used. This celebration of cultural history and traditions is the foundation on which the Belmont Greek Festival is built. Hellenic enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds descend upon the Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Cross to enjoy food and festivities. A calendar of engaging events includes cooking demonstrations, performances by folk-dancing groups, and tours of the church's Byzantine-style interior. The outdoor amphitheater hosts live plays, evoking the feel of an ancient theatre thanks to its open-air design and centaur ushers. Kids can take to the Fun Zone for games, rides, and bouncy castles, and shoppers visit the agora flea market to find Mediterranean books, artwork, jewelry, and clothing. The Church of the Holy Cross spreads cheer after the weekend is done by donating part of the festival's proceeds to local charities, which in the past have included the Children's Advocacy Council and Samaritan House.900 Alameda De Las PulgasBelmont, CA US

I am new to this site so bare with me as I update my profile and continuously add more. I am an independent women looking for a man who has it together and is independent as well. I do not play any games at all and I am as honest as it gets. I would really like to find a stable guy and a man who is or will be ready to settle down in the near future.

I am a very hard worker and believe that people should not just be handed things. I listen to almost any type of music but my favorite is Country!

I have and will always have a passion for junk food though;) Please do not contact me if you are just looking to hook up or live up a fantasy you have. It is a major turn off to discover how easy some of the men on these sites are and if I'm looking for a diseased infested whore, you'll know it I am looking to find my partner in life, my husband, the one, whatever we will call it but I am truly looking for just that. If you are looking for the perfect women, (as most of the really good looking men on this site are, perhaps they think they are) don't hold your breath. There is a reason Barbie is plastic and doesn't speak. I hate to feel that some of you would actually choose to be on this site until you are 50 or older. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you may be interested and I look forward to hearing from you. Unlike so many people on these sites, I will reply to you, I reply to every single email I get regardless of the outcome. Best of luck!

Paul Rampell is a lawyer in Palm Beach who specializes in estate planning. He is the author of "Dictionary of Basic Estate Planning Terms."
We all know that far too many marriages end in divorce, yet this institution does not adapt. Indeed, most Americans today want to expand conventional marriage to include same-sex couples.
So why is there no effort to improve the legal structure of marriage, when it shows itself to be deficient?

Flash. Really looking forward to it, also Gotham. Watching the first season of Arrow now, it's pretty good. The actors are pretty bad and very cliche (gotta love Felicity though) and there's this whole "Gossip Girl meets conspiracy thriller" vibe going on, but it still manages to be exciting and interesting. They could have done so much more with the superhero aspect, though.

A microkatal is a unit of measurement used in chemistry to describe enzyme reactions. A catalyst starts or speeds up a chemical reaction. Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in the body. A catalyst measures one katal if it causes a chemical reaction at one mole per second. A liter is a measure of volume that is a little more than a quart.
Some medical tests report results using microkatals per liter (mckat/L).

text: I was wrong about Stephen Strasburg's MLB debut being on June 4th as I had been saying to anyone and everyone who would listen. His debut will be on June 8th at Nationals Park against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It looks like the Nationals want Ivan Rodriguez to be the catcher and he will be coming off the disabled list and ready to play. I understand their reasoning behind this decision because of how well Rodriguez works with young pitchers and the tremendous hype surrounding this kid's arrival in D.C., I think the place will be a madhouse and having Rodriguez out there to help keep Strasburg calm and focused is a great call by the team! I'm looking forward to this and every Washington Nationals fan I've spoken with is excited as well!

text: it is unbelievable that this show will not be back till march 9th. I will forget what happened in the last episode. what is wrong with abc. this is a very long time in between episodes. that scene two weeks ago with emily shot in the stomach and swimming to safety was insane. no one could do that in real life. I don't get the scene when daniel says that emily was sterilized. what happened he just told the doctor's to sterilize her. I don't get it. a doctor would never do that until he spoke with the patient. jack does not go with that girl at all. he belongs with emily. does she have a memory problem or what? very confusing show now. the writers do not know what to do with the show. maybe they need a long break to figure out what they will do next. can anyone explain the show sunday night . or the week before? thanks mary

For anyone who's interested, I've posted a new dinner review of the Vineyard Room in DCA. Here's the link:
Thanks for taking the time for the review.
I've got to try that smoked salmon and the ribeye steak. They are some of my favorites!
I would guess that DCA would be closed by the time that third Fantasmic! show started.Quote:
As we were waiting for our first courses, we heard an announcement being broadcast in the park that because of the large crowds, Disneyland would actually be offering a third performance of Fantasmic that evening. At first, we thought it was an odd announcement to make in another park, but given the probably large numbers of people who could visit both parks on the same day, it was probably a convenience to let them know about the added show.
I didn't count exactly, but there seemed to be about 100 different flavors to the meal!! Sounds extremely tasty (empahasis on "extreme").
Thank you for sharing your review and menu of the Vineyard Room!!!
As a fellow "foodie" and a restaurant person, did you try the cheese course? It looks interesting and is usually my fave for dessert.
And the accompaniments to the DayBoat Scallops seem to try too hard to mask that they are frozen at this time of year... hmmmm :))
Gotta ask, are the descriptions of the dishes on CDF site - DL's or your's? Esoteric I know, but I am involved in producing 80+ menu's a year!
Sounds like even with the cold, wrong wines (???hrmm I'm thinking new wait staff), lots of kids AND the ELP you had a lovely time! :thumbup:
thank you for sharing!
Aren't the only people in DCA those who have APs or paid the extra $20 for a park hopper?
Nope. I love cheese, but I rarely ever order cheese at restaurants. I also just don't think of cheese as a dessert, more as an appetizer.Quote:

This holiday season is different from many that we have seen in the past. The main reason for that is because the economy is horrible right now. Most people are spending less than they ever have before on holiday gifts this year. Things are so bad that most stores do not even have those amazing deals that we are used to seeing this time of year. If you look at Black Friday's deals none were really earth-shattering. So with that said here are some things you can get for that computer enthusiast or yourself on the cheap.

These forums actually seem helpful so that's good. I just got the Daz 3D for free so that's great.
Is this finally going to be my chance to learn to make computer art and animation? I hope so…
Every other program I have tried, I've quit. It's like running your first marathon and both feet are tied together. You ask for help and they say "just run" and take off. Or they answer with trigonometry equations.
(Why aren't more visual programs visually intuitive?)
Hi! Hope this one sticks. Fingers crossed.
PS is there any way to change my user name? Thanks.

Concerning a new aquatics facility to replace Burnworth Pool after it closes in 2014...
Nadia Rhodes, 8, made use of South WhitleyŌĆÖs newest playground, Adventure Mania, Thursday.
The new equipment was installed and open to children to utilize last week.
Adventure Mania is the second phase of the town park renovation. Doodle Bug Village, also in South WhitleyŌĆÖs town park, was erected over the last several years.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Passages, Inc. is offering a Summer Youth Enrichment Program which will begin on June 10.
The program consists of two four-week sessions designed for individuals with intellectual disabilities who attend a Whitley County middle or high school to practice and enhance their academic, social and vocational skills in a structured and fun environment.
The participants will be offered local field trips to Morsches Park including the splash pad, The Humane Society of Whitley County and PaigeŌĆÖs Crossing.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö American Legion Post 98 in Columbia City hosted a ceremony Memorial Day to honor local men and women who have fallen serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Deceased members of American Legion Post 98 and VFW Post 5582 from the past year were memorialized.
They were Adrian R. Beers, Phil Glassley, Teddy R. Hare, Jack Kessie, Phillip L. Lundblad, Jack Moore, Chester Napier, Talbert W. Pittenger, Marquis Reid Jr., Robert Sandager, William H. Smith, Herman P. Stuersel, John Boggess, Earl McEntire, Tony Treece and Bobby Turner.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Columbia CityŌĆÖs Rotary Club hosted, State Police Officer Brian Bills at its Tuesday meeting.
Although BillsŌĆÖ main job is that of a state police officer for Indiana, he is an advocate for the rejuvenation of Camp Whitley. Bills started his involvement in Camp Whitley by just offering a gun-safety program to campers prior to them being active on the rifle range. This is just one of a host of activities offered at the camp.
As school came to an end for Whitko Community School Corporation, an unexpected visitor was found on the premises of Whitko High School.
A large snapping turtle was camped out on the lawn at WHS, and Joe Jackson, head custodian for the school, took on the challenge of removing the turtle from the property.
The turtle had made its way to the front of the building, but it was uncertain where it came from.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö A Columbia City man who pleaded guilty to burglary was sentenced in Whitley County Circuit Court Monday.
Charles Rector, 18, pleaded guilty last month to burglary, a Class B felony. He was sentenced by Judge James Heuer to six years at the Whitley County Jail, with three years to serve and three suspended.
At his hearing last month, the state dismissed a charge of theft upon accepting his guilty plea to burglary.
RectorŌĆÖs admission of guilt was ŌĆ£straight upŌĆØ ŌĆö that is, it was not part of a plea agreement. This left Heuer with a 6-to-20 year sentencing range.
SOUTH WHITLEY ŌĆö Great things are happening for businesses in challenging times.
That is the opinion of U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman. The Republican representative of IndianaŌĆÖs third district was in South Whitley Wednesday and visited Shindigz, among other stops.
Stutzman lauded the work of the company.
ŌĆ£This is my first visit here,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£There are 450 jobs, and here in the district that is always important.
ŌĆ£Jobs are the number one focus of what we do in Washington.ŌĆØ
Stutzman was quick to point out that times have been difficult lately for companies.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Residents of Columbia CityŌĆÖs southeast side had the opportunity to participate in a neighborhood meeting to discuss city ordinances Thursday.
Sixteen citizens from the area around Swihart and Collins Streets met with Mayor Ryan Daniel, Councilman Nicole Penrod and Councilman Dan Weigold at Gospel-Land Ministries on Douglas Avenue to discuss issues of importance to the neighborhood.
CHURUBUSCO ŌĆö Churubusco will be represented by two throwers in the track and field state competition held in Bloomington today and Saturday.
Senior Katie Monk is competing in girls discus after advancing out of regionals with a throw of 128 feet, 6 inches.
Senior Austin McClure will return to the state meet after claiming the regional championship in shot put with a heave of 51 feet, 9 inches.

Backupbuddy Dreamhost

Posted 19 May 2013 - 07:47 PM
I was considering buying a license for BackupBuddy, but my site is on Dreamhost, and I read that there are some issues with compatibility.
In another thread on this topic, the forum admin refers another DH user to a BackupBuddy support forum which seems to no longer exist.
So, my question is can I use BackupBuddy with a DH site, and, if so, what kind of support can I expect to receive if I run into difficulties or errors during use?
Posted 20 May 2013 - 09:50 AM
BackupBuddy can work on Dreamhost, but everything regardless of host, comes down to the host's server configurations. Every server is going to have max PHP runtimes and maybe actual limits set by the host. So it's always a question if the server configurations are too strict for a site of whatever size yours is.

McDonald's has announced that the "fantastically flavorful" McRib has returned. The ever-so-popular McRib sandwich, which has been virtually hidden in McDonald's across the country, has made a thunderous comeback. The sandwich was officially announced to return to restaurants in the United States on October 24, 2011 (Since its creation, it has periodically been served in international McDonald's restaurants), although some U.S. McDonald's franchises began selling the product before that date.
Avid followers of the elusive pork-rib style McRib will do anything for their fix. If they can find the sandwich, it will be available through Nov. 14. To find McRibs, McDonald's has created the "Quest for the Golden McRib" on its Facebook page. But questers beware; McDonald's warns that only the true McRib lover will succeed. To begin the quest, take the leap of faith here.
The sandwich, according to McDonald's is dressed with sensationally savory onions, tantalizingly tart pickles and sweetly scrumptious barbecue sauce and is magnificently mouthwatering and fantastically flavorful. "Even your dreams dream about this."
The McRib has 500 calories and 26 grams of fat making it slightly lighter than the Big Mac, which has 540 calories and 29 grams of fat. The McRib consists of a ground pork patty with sliced pickles and onions and is topped with barbecue sauce served in a six-inch roll. Despite the McRib name, the meat is mostly pork shoulder.
The McRib was introduced nationally in 1982. Like all cult favorites, the sandwich was not initially popular outside the Midwest and was removed in 1985 as McDonald's executives determined that pork is not eaten frequently enough in the U.S. to stay on the menu. The McRib Jr. was available briefly in 2000. This version replaced the roll with a standard hamburger bun, and was served with two pickles and a smaller pork patty.
The McRib has had a cult following spanning Twitter as well as Facebook. There is also a McRib Locator, a website where true believers can report McRib sightings and even truer believers can take a road trip when one shows up within driving distance.
According to McDonald's, some interesting McRib trivia facts include:
• Every year McDonald's purchases 250,000,000 pounds of pork.
• The McRib sandwich as been mentioned twice on David Letterman's "Top 10 List."
• Each McRib sandwich is actually submerged in tangy BBQ sauce.
• The McRib sandwich sports 2 pickles and 0.25 ounces of onions.
• The McRib sandwich was spoofed in The Simpsons episode #303.
Marta Fearon, McDonald's U.S. marketing director, told USA Today that bringing McRib back every so often adds to the excitement. She added that it is not known if McRib will be back next year as it is too early to speculate.

research guide
editors & contributors
write the editor
Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Congratulations to attorney Todd M. Hughes, who has been nominated by President Obama to a seat on the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. If confirmed by the United States Senate, Hughes will become the first openly gay appeals court judge in American history.
In a press release, President Obama described Hughes and fellow nominee Raymond T. Chen as having "displayed exceptional dedication to public service throughout their careers." He said, "I am honored to nominate them today to serve the American people on the United States Court of Appeals. I am confident that they will be judicious and esteemed additions to the Federal Circuit."
Hughes currently serves as Deputy Director of the Commercial Litigation Branch of the Civil Division of the United States Department of Justice, a position he has held since 2007. He also has served as an adjunct lecturer in law with the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and as an instructor for Duke University's writing program.
Hughes received his A.B. from Harvard College in 1989 and completed a joint degree program at Duke University, where he earned both his J.D. with honors and his M.A. in English in 1992.
After graduating from law school, Hughes clerked for Judge Robert B. Krupansky of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. In 1994, he joined the Commercial Litigation Branch as a trial attorney. Five years later, he was appointed Assistant Director for Commercial Litigation, a role he held until assuming the title of Deputy Director in 2007.
During his service at the Department of Justice, Hughes has concentrated on matters of federal personnel law, veterans' benefits, international trade, government contracts, and jurisdictional issues regarding the United States Court of Federal Claims.
Hughes has appeared frequently before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the United States Court of International Trade, and the United States Court of Federal Claims, and he has garnered a number of special commendations from the Department of Justice and from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The Federal Circuit is unique among the thirteen Circuit Courts of Appeals. It has nationwide jurisdiction in a variety of subject areas, including international trade, government contracts, patents, trademarks, certain money claims against the United States government, federal personnel, veterans' benefits, and public safety officers' benefits claims.
Appeals to the Court come from all federal district courts, the United States Court of Federal Claims, the United States Court of International Trade, and the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. The court also takes appeals of certain administrative agencies' decisions, including the United States Merit Systems Protection Board, the Boards of Contract Appeals, the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, and the Trademark Trial and Appeals Board.
Upon learning of Hughes's nomination, the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund issued the following statement: "His nomination is a testament to the expanding opportunities for openly LGBT Americans who want to serve their country, and to the president's respect for the depth of talent and experience within the LGBT community. We look forward to his confirmation by the U.S. Senate."
Hughes is the ninth openly gay life-tenured federal court judicial nominee named by President Obama.
Three of the President's nominees have been approved by the Senate. Judges J. Paul Oetken and Alison Nathan both now sit on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Judge Michael Fitzgerald sits on the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
Awaiting confirmation by the Senate are Pamela Ki Mai Chen, an out lesbian who was nominated in the summer of 2012 to serve on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York; Judge Michael McShane, an openly gay man who was nominated in September 2012 to serve on the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon; Judge William Thomas, who was nominated in October 2012 to serve on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida; and Judge Nitza I. Quiñones Alejandro of the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas who was nominated in November 2012 to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The final openly gay judicial nominee put forward by President Obama, Edward DuMont, was nominated for seat on the same court Hughes is nominated to serve on, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Dumon withdrew his nomination after there was no movement on it over the course of two sessions of Congress.
Before President Obama, only one openly gay or lesbian person was nominated to the federal bench. Judge Deborah Batts, the first openly lesbian federal judge, was nominated by President Clinton and serves on the Southern District of New York bench. She took "senior status," a near retirement, in 2012 and made news in 2011 when she wed Dr. Gwen Zornberg, as reported here.

Doc: 'I like where we're at
|10.17.09 at 2:45 pm ET
WALTHAM – Celtics coach Doc Rivers sounded a very optimistic tone following Saturday's practice in Waltham, 10 days before the team's season opener in Cleveland.
"For us, it's just getting better with continuity on both ends, working on all the little things. I like where we're at, honestly. I like our team. The answer to 'Are you ready to play the first game?' You don't know that until you play it. You think you are all the time but I do like where our team is at," Rivers said.
"This group to me, the first unit is playing fantastic. [Rajon] Rondo has been absolutely fantastic and Kevin [Garnett] is coming along and everybody is playing well."
The Celtics are 4-1 in preseason and play in Toronto on Sunday in the sixth of eight preseason games.
Anatomy of a Rumor
|10.16.09 at 10:58 am ET
On Tuesday, Comcast aired a conversation between Paul Pierce and Greg Dickerson, who asked Pierce about his contract situation. For those who don't know, the captain has a $21.5 million option sitting on the table for the 2010-11 season. Ordinarily, this would be a no-brainer. As a general rule NBA players (or anyone else, for that matter) don't leave $21 million sitting on the table.
But the Celtics will have some interesting financial decisions to make after this season. Ray Allen's contract will be up, and we'll know by the end of the month if they have extended Rajon Rondo or whether he'll be a restricted free agent. Add to that Wyc Grousbeck's cryptic comment last summer that there was a scenario where the Celtics could be a player in the fabled free agency class of 2010, and suddenly the Pierce option is no longer such a no-brainer. (Worth noting that Grousbeck said that before the Celtics signed Rasheed Wallace to a three-year deal).
Before we get to all that, let's go to the videotape.
Pierce said two things of note during the conversation.
"I definitely want to retire as a Celtic. As far as my option goes, I haven't really given it any thought."
"I want to do what's best for the team. If that means doing whatever to keep guys here and make this team strong for the next three or four years, I'm willing to do it."
That's pretty consistent with what Pierce has said at other times during camp. But CSN's Gary Tanguay wrote on his Twitter page: "Pierce told CSN he will re-work his contract to keep players in Boston," which then made the rumors page on Hoops Hype, which brought it to the attention of True Hoop, which had an item by ESPN's Marc Stein outlining the scenarios by which "doing whatever" became Pierce opting out and/or signing an extension, which could spread out the cash and free up some cap space, which got play on Celtics Blog and Celtics Hub Thursday night, to name two.
First things first. The Celtics already have about $33 million-plus committed to Kevin Garnett, Kendrick Perkins, Glen Davis and Wallace for 2010-11. Add to that a "cap hold" of $6.3 million for Rondo if he doesn't sign an extension, and we're already looking at about $40 million for five players before Pierce even does anything, let alone before the team makes a decision on Allen. The salary cap for this season is set at $57.7 million and there has already been talk that will trend down in 2010-11. (Celtics Blog has a good look at the down and dirty).
In other words, hold off on those LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh dreams.
Second, this sets up an unrealistic set of expectations for Pierce, who has already shown on the court that he is willing to "do whatever" to help the Celtics win games. That should be more than enough before anyone asks him to leave a pile of dough on the table.
The Celtics are positioned to win this season, if everyone stays healthy. There are way too many factors at play to go much beyond that.
Celtics look sharp in beating Raps
|10.14.09 at 10:05 pm ET
Earlier this week Celtics coach Doc Rivers was asked how many preseason games he'd like to have before the season started. "In a perfect world I'd get to five games, maybe six, tops," he said. "That would be perfect. You do need games to see what other teams do against what you run and also to play in front of a crowd."
The Celtics put their fifth preseason game in the books Wednesday night with a 106-90 win over the Raptors in Hartford, and aside from a tough shooting night for former UConn homeboy Ray Allen (1-for-7 from the floor) they look more than ready to start the season. It was one of the Celtics' sharpest games offensively as they shot 46 percent from the floor and had six players score in double figures led by Paul Pierce's 17 points. (Click here for a recap).
It's been a very good preseason for the Celtics so far. Consider the two biggest question marks facing the C's this October: Kevin Garnett's health and the revamped bench. Both seem like they've been answered positively already.
Garnett was again spry, getting up for a couple of lobs and jumping out on the high pick and roll. While the bench, even without the services of Rasheed Wallace (ankle), turned in another solid effort. In the first half the second unit changed the energy level and extended the lead, two things that were in scant supply last season.
A couple of other observations:
Shelden Williams might have some game: The new big man's job is simple. He has to be ready to play at all times, even if it doesn't look like he will. If (and that's a mighty big if) Garnett, Kendrick Perkins, Glen Davis and Wallace all stay healthy Williams could go weeks without seeing the court once the regular season begins. But if one of them goes down or gets into foul trouble Williams has to be ready to go.
So far this preseason he hasn't shown much of an offensive game. Indeed, on his first touch Williams looked stiff and predictable working on Chris Bosh in the post and Bosh easily swatted away his shot. But Williams then rolled down the lane and tossed in a nifty little jump hook. He followed that up by hitting a pair of 15-foot baseline jumpers.
If the Celtics wind up looking for offense from Williams then there in trouble, but if he is able to provide something dependable–like that baseline jumper–then he will fill his role nicely.
The rotation starts to come into focus: In the first half Rivers went with Eddie House and Marquis Daniels in the backcourt along with the three frontline starters. In the second half Rivers went with House, Allen, Pierce, Davis and Perkins. In both sets, Pierce brought the ball up and initiated the offense.
It's no secret that the Celtics want to hide House's weaknesses as a ballhandler when he's in the game, and also take advantage of his strength as a 3-point shooter. With Pierce and Daniels they have two forwards who can handle the chore.
Lester Hudson continues to make a case: It happens every preaseason. A rookie plays well in the exhibition games and gets everyone projecting great things about their future. It's difficult to say what, if any, role Hudson will have with the Celtics this season. In fact, one can make the argument that if he does have a role they might be in some trouble.
But Hudson is showing in spurts that he might have the skills (and toughness) to make it as a reserve guard. Hudson needs to continue having a strong preseason because at 25 years of age he won't have a lot more chances to show what he's got, but it's to his credit that he's taken the third point guard job by the throat and played fearlessly.
The C's and Raptors play again this Sunday at 3 p.m.
Garnett joins new adidas campaign

Perkins and Daniels to Kick Off Celtics Stay in School Program
|10.14.09 at 9:41 pm ET
On Friday the Celtics will kick off the 19th season of their Stay in School program. Kendrick Perkins and Marquis Daniels will host an assembly of honor students at the Mildred Avenue Middle School in Mattapan and encourage all students to take pride in their academic work.
The Celtics will visit Boston public middle schools throughout the season to motivate students and emphasize the importance of staying in school. Top students will be honored for academic success and perfect attendance at the end of each year. The Stay in School program, presented by Arbella Insurance, is a collaboration of efforts from the Celtics, New England Sports Museum, Northeastern University Center for the Study of Sport in Society, and Boston Public Schools.
Rondo and Reserves Propel Celtics over Nets
|10.13.09 at 10:57 pm ET
On Tuesday night, the Celtics overcame a 14-point deficit to defeat the Nets, 91-88, in Newark, N.J., during preseason action (recap here). With Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen getting the night off, the Cs were propelled by Rajon Rondo and the reserves.
- Rondo led the Cs with 18 points, 13 assists, and nine rebounds in 40 minutes. This is in contrast to Sunday's game against the Nets when he posted eight points, three assists and two rebounds in 26 minutes.
- Rasheed Wallace (20 points, 9 rebounds, 25 minutes) was the Celtics' driving force in the first half. However, he rolled his right ankle in the third quarter and eventually left the game. Doc Rivers told the media he considers the injury to be mild.
- Eddie House demonstrated his tenacious intensity by fighting for loose balls, forcing jump balls and hitting clutch shots, including a go-ahead jumper with 34 seconds left. He finished the night with 14 points.
- Glen Davis continued to knock down his mid-range jumper en route to 18 points. The Celtics were a game-high plus-12 with Davis on the court.
- J.R. Giddens, whose talent only had been showcased in the D-League, played his best NBA game. He grabbed 13 rebounds and scored seven points.
- Marquis Daniels started the game but left after 15 minutes with a stomach bug.
The Celtics will travel to Hartford to take on the Raptors on Wednesday night.
Pierce Turning 32 Going on 20
|10.12.09 at 11:08 pm ET
Paul Pierce was 20 years old when he was drafted by the Celtics in 1998. Eleven years later, he still doesn't feel a day out of college.
'I still feel in my early 20s,' he told WEEI.com after a recent practice. 'I feel like I'm back in Kansas.'
Pierce turns 32 on Tuesday, and a new lifestyle has him energized as he enters his 12th NBA season. Last month he was one of several Celtics who showed up to media day with a noticeably slimmer frame. While Kendrick Perkins and Glen Davis admitted to dropping up to 15 and 30 pounds respectively, Pierce (who is listed at 235 pounds) isn't paying attention to the scale.
'I maybe lost two pounds, I don't know,' he said. As for losing body fat, 'Probably so, I haven't measured it, but most likely I have.'
Pierce isn't counting the pounds because it's how his body feels, not what the scale reads, that matters more to him. And even though he feels young, he understands the reality of being a professional athlete in his 30s. Pierce made a commitment to improve his overall health and kick the habits that could eventually catch up to him.
'I just think it's more important because the body is aging, it's getting older,' he said. 'You're not as quick as you used to be and your body has to adjust with the times. I mean, what I used to do when I was younger are some of the things I can't do now. I'm stressing more rest, I didn't sleep as much when I was younger, so a lot of things change. It's easier to gain weight the older you get so that's why I decided to change a lot of my habits.'
The change in his physique has more to do with the changes he endorses through his healthy living initiatives rather than a regimented weight loss program.
'I think it has more to do with my eating habits,' he said. 'Ever since I changed everything I'm doing as far as my foundation with The Truth on Health and FitClub34, I've got to practice what I preach. I've pretty much benefited from the things I'm doing of that nature.'
He added: 'I've just changed up my eating habits as far as eating a lot of fish, chicken, vegetables, not as much red meat ' almost no red meat ' no sodas, not a lot of juice. I drink a lot of water and Gatorade and Powerade.'
Ray Allen, a stickler for healthy living, already has noticed the changes in Pierce. Allen was 32 when he was traded to the Celtics in 2008, a time when he says he began to get in his best shape by eating better and getting more sleep. He understands firsthand the importance of Pierce taking care of his body at this pivotal stage in his career.
'Just yesterday in the weight room I told him he was starting to look skinny,' Allen said. 'You know, Paul has always had like a heavy look, a heavy body. Now you see in his legs he's slimming down, his upper body is slimming down. I think it's the natural evolution when you get into your 30s and your metabolism starts to slow down and you start thinking about eating better, getting more sleep, and then your body starts to show it. And then as for us, this schedule is so demanding you really have no choice, your body will tell you you need more rest.'
Pierce has learned to listen to his body, and because of this he can celebrate his 32nd birthday feeling like he's in his 20s.
