This Week: The New Mexico State women's basketball team opens the 2012-13 season at the Pan American Center against Loyola Marymount on Monday, Nov. 12, at 6:30 p.m. After the season opener, the Aggies make the trip to face UC Santa Barbara on Nov. 14.
About the Aggies: NM State returns six from the 2011-12 team, including Kelsie Rozendaal, who finished the season with a .526 shooting percentage. Rozendaal was third on the team with 108 total rebounds and second with a .778 free throw percentage on the year. Senior Jasmine Rutledge also returns for the Aggies after averaging 5.7 points per game with 4.1 rebounds. Rutledge saw action in each of the Aggies 30 games last season and started in half of those.
Chrissy Fletcher and Camila Rosen also return to the hardwood as two of the Aggies starters. Fletcher went 4-for-4 at the free throw line against UTEP (11/16) while earning her second straight academic All-WAC honor. Rosen picked up 32 steals as a junior and earned a season-high 13 points against Boise State (1/7).
Gilbreath joins the Aggie squad as a transfer from USC. The former Trojan played in each of USC's 30 games last season, starting 17 contests and averaging 3.9 points per game. She led the team in free throw percentage at 83 percent (24-of-29) and averaged 2.6 rebounds per game. Gilbreath sat out three seasons with the Trojans due to knee injuries.
Along with Gilbreath, Trakh added six other newcomers to the roster. Las Cruces native, Elena Holguin, comes in after redshirting her freshman season. Three-point threat, Alexis Nelson, also joins the Aggies after breaking the single-season record for three pointers with 60 during her senior campaign at Aurora High School in Aurora, Ill.
NM State also brings in University of San Diego transfer, Denesia Williamson. The sophomore started one game and participated in 16 while averaging 12 minutes per game last season. The 5-6 guard averaged 5.1 points, 1.4 assists and 1.1 rebounds per game with the Toreros. Abby Scott (Madras, Ore.), Sasha Weber (Lacey, Wash.) and Shay Young (San Diego, Calif.) round out the newcomers for NM State.
Thriller on Opening Night: The New Mexico State women's basketball team trilled the crowd with an overtime victory over the Lions of Loyola Marymount, 77-76, on Nov. 12, at the Pan American Center.
Sophomore transfer Danesia Williamson locked the score at 69-69 with less than 30 seconds to play in the game. The 5-6 guard notched 19 points on the night. She paved the way for senior Kelsie Rozendaal to give the Aggies the 77-76 advantage with two free shots in the final five seconds of overtime. Rozendall's shots at the line earned her a career-high 22 points, while shooting 8-13 in the season opener. She also notched her first double-double of the year with 11 rebounds.
Williamson and Rozendaal were accompanied by senior Stefanie Gilbreath and junior Jasmine Rutledge in double-digit points. Gilbreath and Rutledge each earned 12 points on the evening with Gilbreath going 5-6 at the line and Rutledge collecting eight boards.
Williamson started things off early with a three-pointer and three buckets in the first four minutes of play. She managed nine points in the first half alone. She was 4-5 from the line and helped the Aggies to an overall 42.3 shooting percentage in the first 20 minutes of play.
Loyola Marymount went on an eight point run in the middle of the half, giving the Lions their first lead of the half 22-21. After trading shots back and forth, a deep pass by Sasha Weber to Rutledge gave the Aggies the lead once again 28-27 with 3:53 left in the first half. Two free shots made by sophomore Simone Ruedin tied the score for NM State at 30 with less than three minutes to play in the half. LMU answered back with seven straight late in the half to gain a 37-30 lead and close out the half. Ruedin earned three steals on the game, a career high for the sophomore.
Big Night for Rozendaal: Senior Kelsie Rozendaal opened her final season in Crimson and White with an outstanding career-high 22 points. She also earned her first double-double of he season with 11 rebounds and not a single turnover
Looking Back: On Monday night, the NM State Aggies opened the seaosn with an overtime win against Loyola Marymount, 77-76. This marks the third straight season-opening win for the Aggies, but the first home-opening win since the 2009-10 season.
Last week, the Aggies opened the season with a preseason exhibition against Fort Lewis College. NM State flew past the Skyhawks in an 80-73 victory in the Pan American Center on Nov. 2.
Newcomer Stephanie Gilbreath led the Aggies with 26 points in just 26 minutes on the court. The senior transfer from USC was 2-for-3 on three pointers and worked for four rebounds.
NM State powered through the second half with 13 second-chance points. Denesia Williamson opened up late in the game to earn 13 second-half points, six of those from the line.
Senior Kelsie Rozendaal proved to be the force under the goal for the Aggies. She finished the game with eight total rebounds, seven of those on the defensive side of the ball.
Aggies vs. UC Santa Barbara
Series History: The Aggies meet the UC Santa Barbara Gouchos for the second straight year. NM State took the win in the last meeting in a nail-biting 52-51 win in Las Cruces, N.M. Prior to the Dec. 19, 2011 meeting, the teams had not met since the Aggies final year in the Big West Conference during the 1999-00 season. In that game, the Aggies fell 86-65. All-time, UCSB holds a 12-5 record over NM State.
About UCSB: The Gauchos continue in the Big West Conference and are the defending conference champions after a 17-16 season.
UCSB has eight players returning, including three starters from last year's conference championship team. Four seniors make up the leaders on the team, including Big West MVP Kristen Tilleman.
The Gauchos welcome three newcomers to the squad this season in freshmen Jasmine Ware, Jessica Pino and Kendra Morrison.
UCSB opened the season with a 52-39 exhibition win over Vanguard last week. Starting the game with a 15 point run, Nicole Nesbit led the Gouchos with 17 points with Sweets Underwood just behind her with 14. Last season, Underwood led the team with a 46.9 shooting percentage in her 33 games played. The junior guard averaged seven boards a game with 7.7 points on average.
Looking Ahead: The Aggies continue on the road to battle Rio Grande Rival New Mexico, on Nov. 20, at The Pit in Albuquerque, N.M.
Aggie Returners Earn Academic All-WAC: The 2011-12 Academic All-WAC women's basketball was announced in the spring. To be eligible, a student-athlete must have completed at least one academic year, have at least a 3.00 cumulative grade point average and have participated in at least 50 percent of the team's contests. The following is a list of the five winter sport honorees from the women's basketball squad: Chrissy Fletcher, Jr., Malia Magazzeni, Jr., Kelsie Rozendaal, Sr., Kaitlyn Soto, Sr., Tabytha Wampler, Sr.
Fresh Faces for Trakh: Head coach Mark Trakh brings on a slew of newcomers for the 2012-13 campaign. Among the new Aggies are transfers Stefanie Gilbreath and Denesia Williamson. Gilbreath joins the Aggie squad after spending four seasons with USC. Gilbreath sat out three seasons with the Trojans due to knee injuries, but played in each of USC's 30 games in 2011-12. Williamson wears the Crimson after one season with University of San Diego. The 5-6 guard averaged 5.1 points, 1.4 assists and 1.1 rebounds per game with the Toreros.
Along with the two transfers, Trakh also adds five other players to the roster. Las Cruces native, Elena Holguin, comes in after redshirting her freshman season. Three-point threat, Alexis Nelson, joins the Aggies after breaking the single-season record for three pointers with 60 during her senior campaign at Aurora High School in Aurora, Ill. Abby Scott (Madras, Ore.), Sasha Weber (Lacey, Wash.) and Shay Young (San Diego, Calif.) round out the newcomers for NM State.
Last Season: Under the helm of first-year head coach, Mark Trakh, the Aggies finished the 2011-12 season with a 6-24 overall season record. This left NM State with a 3-11 Western Athletic Conference record. The Aggies made an appearance at the WAC Championships at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. (3/7). The Aggies were seeded eighth in the tournament but were quickly booted out by No. 1 66-58 State.
Senior guard Tabitha Wampler was the most recent Aggie to join the 1,000 Point Club with a career 1,254 points (2008-12). She joins former teammates Danisha Corbett and Madison Spence along with Aggie great Anita Maxwell (2,601) and Andrea Kabwasa (1,788).
Another highlight for the Aggies in 2011-12 was coach Trakh coaching his 500th game of his career as a Division I head coach. In his 17th year on the sidelines, the floor general notched the milestone against Hawai'i in Las Cruces Feb. 16.
Preseason Accolades: The Western Athletic Conference coaches and media picked NM State to finish eighth and ninth in their respective preseason polls, and senior guard Stefanie Gilbreath was named an All-WAC preseason pick.
The Aggies were picked sixth in last season's preseason polls. NM State finished 6-24 overall and 3-11 in the conference to place in eighth. The eighth place rank gave the Aggies a tough battle against top-ranked Fresno State in the 2012 WAC Championships. The Bulldogs defeated the Aggies 66-58, knocking NM State out of the tournament.
Reigning first team All-WAC honoree Christensen was voted Preseason Player of the Year and is the on the preseason All-WAC first team. Joining her on the first team are Alyssa Charlston of Idaho, Louisiana Tech's Whitney Frazier, Diamond Ford of Texas State and Seattle U's Kacie Sowell.

-- This season also marks 25 years since the Aggies last NCAA tournament appearance. The 1987-88 team was the last in program history to receive an NCAA berth.
Potential Aggie Milestones:
-- Head coach Mark Trakh needs just four more victories to reach No. 300 in his career as a Division I head coach- this could happen as early as Nov. 24 during the Hotel Encanto Thanksgiving Classic if the Aggies take a 5-0 start.
-- With 11 victories during the 2012-13 season, NM State will reach its 600th win in program history. Currently, the Aggies are 589-524 all-time.

Trakh's squad is set to host 16 regular-season games at the Pan American Center for the third straight season - matching the third-most amount of home contests in the NM State record books. It marks the 14th season that the Crimson and White play host to 15 or more opponents in the regular season. In those previous 13 seasons, NM State averaged 18 wins per year.
With five new squads joining the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) schedule this season, the conference slate grows to 18 games. Each squad will play home-and-home contests with the other nine teams. New schools on the Aggies' conference schedule this year include Denver, Seattle, Texas State, UT Arlington and UTSA. NM State's travel partner in 2012-13 will be the Pioneers of Denver.
The Aggies' upcoming non-conference ledger consists of seven home match-ups and four road contests. Prior to the WAC schedule, NM State tips against four opponents with 2012 postseason credentials.
NM State's 29-game, regular-season schedule kicks off in Las Cruces Monday, Nov. 12 against Loyola Marymount.
The Aggies' first road contest occurs at 2012 NCAA Tournament team UCSB (Nov. 14) in Santa Barbara, Calif., NM State knocked off the Gauchos at home last season 52-51.
In-state rival New Mexico is on the Aggie docket for a pair of home-and-home contests in 2012-13. NM State travels to Albuquerque on Nov. 20 and completes the Rio Grande Rivalry against the Lobos at the Pan American Center on Dec. 18.
New Mexico State looks for its fifth Aggie Hotel Encanto Thanksgiving Classic title in six seasons on Nov. 23-24.

The 2013 WAC Tournament will be held at a neutral site in Las Vegas for the third year in a row. The Orleans Arena will play host to both the men's and women's conference basketball tournaments March 12-16. All 10 teams will take part in the conference tourney.
In a transitional season, the Aggies completed the 2011-12 campaign at 6-24 in Trakh's first year on the NM State sideline. The Aggies finished the season on a strong note pushing top-seeded Fresno State to the final minute at the 2012 WAC Tournament before the Bulldogs escaped with an eight-point victory.
NM State returns seven players from a year ago but loses the services of Aggie 1,000-point club member Tabytha Wampler and fellow departed seniors Erica Sanchez and Kaitlyn Soto. Trakh and his staff added six new commitments including former high school All-American and USC transfer Stefanie Gilbreath.
Gilbreath, a 6-1 guard originally from Katy, Texas, joined fellow spring signees Danesia Williamson, a 5-6 guard from San Diego and Alexis Nelson, a 5-7 guard from Aurora, Illinois.

iTunes has become a jumbled mess over the past 3-4 versions. I hope this is a significant overhaul. I was never an iTune hater like a lot people are, but I've grown quite frustrated with the patchwork going on with the evolution of this piece of software.

While I do believe these apps could use a bit more work and cost a little less I am happy to see technology in special education classrooms. In many cases children with special needs cam work better with computers than they do with people.

Thursday, June 27, 2013
A man who has lost everything loses his faith in the world and becomes a roaming hobo until a crippled dog finds him and saves his life.
That's the premise of the second book published by Goose Creek resident Tony Ratliff.
"The Hobo and the Dog: A Tale of Prayer, Pets and Healing" was published in February by Wheatmark and is available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and as an e-book.
Ratliff took his beloved golden retriever to a specialist and spent thousands of dollars to try help its health problems. "The dog died in spite of it," he said. "It broke my heart."
Taylor was only three years old when she died of kidney failure.
Miraculously, Ratliff eventually found an abandoned golden retriever on the side of Cypress Gardens Road on his way to work. Ratliff said the idea for the book started nearly a decade ago when he wrote a 40-page poem about finding this dog.
Ratliff said he fed the skittish dog daily until eventually he was able to pet him then take him home.
Ratliff wrote the book over the last three years in his writing studio in Goose Creek's Foxborough neighborhood. He has lived in the city since 1970.
"This book is heavy into holistic healing . . . the power of poem, music therapy, prayer and pets for healing," Ratliff said. "Eventually it all comes together. That was how this book was written.
"A book like this you can't just write overnight. I used to have a writing habit. I would get up about 5 a.m. and write two or three hours, maybe until 9. I was also writing other things at the time.
"Whenever you have a thought you need to write it down or it'll get away. It has to be a discipline, you need to take control and do it, like Hemingway said. You can't wait to be moved."
Ratliff said creating a book does not begin and end with writing.
"Editing is one of the most important and complicated things in the writing process," he said.
Ratliff said he read the book 50 times looking for mistakes and had two professionals (one is a professor at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh) edit it as well.
Ratliff's writing studio is filled with bookshelves packed to the brim. Included in the room are a host of reference books. "I have the entire Library of Congress at my fingertips," he said, holding up his iPhone.
"This is a very sad story in a way," Ratliff said of his latest effort. "This dog was dropped. It was an abandoned dog. Then I dropped back in time a few years. A man and wife were trying to have a baby, she finally did, but she lost the baby and he lost her."
While he's not writing Ratliff has hobbies such as playing a classical guitar and collecting ducks and Yodas.
He also enjoys reading existentialist philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. "We need more people like him," he said.

Faculty Governance
SPSU is a state university in the University System of Georgia (USG), thus, is subject to policies of the Board of Regents (BOR), which give the president of the institution broad powers. (See Section 2.5 in the BOR policy manual.) The president, for example, is the ex-officio faculty chair, and may preside at faculty meetings. At SPSU, though, we have a tradition of shared governance, that is, governance shared by faculty, administrators, students, and other parties with a major stake in a given decision.
The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has among its purposes the advancement of shared governance. Its Committee on College and University Governance composed AAUP's first statement on the subject in 1920, ``emphasizing the importance of faculty involvement in personnel decisions, selection of administrators, preparation of the budget, and determination of educational policies.'' (See http://www.aaup.org/issues/governance-colleges-universities.) In 1966, AAUP published an update of its original statement.
The primary mechanism through which the SPSU faculty contributes to shared governance is its standing committees. These are ongoing committees of the faculty as established by the University Statutes.
Minutes waiting for approval are available here.
The Faculty Standing Committees for 2014-2015 are:
- Faculty Council
- Faculty Senate
- Graduate Programs Committee (GPC)
- Information Technology Advisory Committee (ITAC)
- Student Life Committee (SLC)
- Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (UCC)
- Undergraduate Student Status Committee (USS)
Standing committees operate independently of one another and independently of the general faculty, which convenes several times a year. Standing committees make recommendations to the general faculty, which in turn, makes recommendations to the president. The president is the final authority on all policy matters.

Wolves Center Andrew Ebbett takes his hits, but perseveres.
Photos by Ross Dettman
On Jan. 7, 2012, Andrew Ebbett lay in a Boston hospital bed with a fractured collarbone after taking a massive check from Boston Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg.
Considering Ebbett spent most of the last four seasons playing in the National Hockey League, it might be fair to assume the 30-year-old Chicago Wolves center prefaced his professional career by winning a million awards and honors during college.
But when you retrace Ebbett's four-year run at the University of Michigan, which has won more NCAA championships and appeared in more Frozen Fours than any other school, it's not easy to find evidence that people appreciated what he brought to the ice.
Though Ebbett remains among Michigan's all-time top 10 in games played (167) and top 16 in assists (105) and served as one of the Wolverines' top scorers in his last three seasons, he never earned so much as honorable mention status in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA).
While teammates Jeff Tambellini and T.J. Hensick hogged the league's and the nation's spotlight – Hensick, now with the Peoria Rivermen, was a two-time first-team All-American and Tambellini was a first-round pick in the NHL's Entry Draft – Ebbett settled for being a three-time selection to the Big Ten's All-Academic team.Tweets by @aebbett
"I had a lot of points, but we had guys like Tambellini and Hensick and (Eric) Nystrom – guys that were a little more electric," Ebbett said. "I guess you could say I was more of a set-up guy than a bring-the-crowd-to-their-feet guy."
Oh, wait. One fitting honor came Ebbett's way. After his senior year in 2005-06, during which he served as captain for a team that spent time ranked No. 1 in the country, Michigan's players voted him the team's Most Valuable Player.
"He put up a lot of points, definitely," said Wolves forward Tim Miller, who was a Michigan freshman that season. "But we picked him because he was always one of the hardest workers. When we did our off-ice testing, he always finished first.
"He was more of a lead-by-example guy on and off the ice. He was always doing the right things. He was working so hard and it rubbed off on you. The team always appreciated what he did more than anybody else did."
That last sentence is close to the truth, but not exact. Legendary 73-year-old Red Berenson, who has served as Michigan's head coach since 1984, appreciated Ebbett's abilities at least as much as his teammates did.
"He's a coach's player," Berenson said. "He makes players around him better. He did all the little things to make his team win. He would win faceoffs, he would block shots, kill penalties, get the puck out of the defensive zone. Unsung would be a good word for Andrew Ebbett. All of your 'star' players appreciate someone like that. Maybe other players get more recognition, but guess who's on the ice in the final minute of a game? Guess who's on the ice for a key faceoff?"
Berenson retains vivid memories of Michigan's two-day road trip to Alaska during Ebbett's senior year. Scouts typically don't waste their time making such a long trip for so few games, but Berenson recalled Anaheim Ducks assistant general manager Dave McNab being the only guy in the house. Michigan and Alaska Fairbanks split a pair of games and Ebbett didn't score any points – unless you count the ones with McNab.
"He told me the player that jumped out to him was Andrew Ebbett," Berenson said.
Ebbett, who tops out at 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds, went unselected in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. But after one season playing for the American Hockey League's Binghamton Senators, McNab and the Ducks signed Ebbett to a free-agent contract. Ebbett made the Ducks for good early in the 2008-09 season – scoring 32 points in 48 games while centering a top line for high-scoring Teemu Selanne and Bobby Ryan – and he thought he had found a place where he was appreciated.
He discovered otherwise just two games into the 2009-10 regular season when the Ducks put him on waivers.
"It was almost like a shock," Ebbett said. "You're just not expecting that to happen. Anaheim brought in Saku Koivu (to take my place) and pretty much said I couldn't play a third- or fourth-line role. That's why they had to put me on waivers, because there was no room for me in the top six."
That's when Berenson's coaching techniques and Ebbett's versatility (not to mention his willingness to adapt) morphed him into a player that NHL teams would appreciate.
"Let's face it: Everybody can't play on the power play at the next level," Berenson said. "We have to teach them to be all-around players – not just play one end of the rink. 'Ebby' was very comfortable at both ends."
After Anaheim dropped Ebbett, the Chicago Blackhawks picked him up for a month. After scoring 1 goal in 10 games for the eventual Stanley Cup champions, Ebbett was waived by the Hawks and signed with the Minnesota Wild. He found himself playing on the third and fourth lines and focused on the tough jobs – taking faceoffs in the defensive zone, killing penalties, playing defense – that he learned to handle while at Michigan. All the while, Ebbett was motivated by the sting of being released.
"It's just something that sits in the back of your head," he said. " 'Just because I'm 5-10 and 180 pounds, you don't think I can play that grinding role?' Once I got to Minnesota, it was kind of proven I could play that third- and fourth-line role. And I added that to my game, so you're not going to be able to put me on waivers because I can play wherever I need to play to stay up."
After splitting the 2010-11 season between the AHL's San Antonio Rampage and the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes – where coach Dave Tippett described Ebbett as "very intelligent" and "very valuable" in the Arizona Republic – Ebbett spent all of last season with the Canucks.
Actually, between his fractured collarbone and a broken foot earlier in the season, Ebbett appeared in just 18 games last season for Vancouver. That's why he was fine with signing a two-way contract with the Canucks this season: It gave him the flexibility to play with the Wolves during the NHL lockout.
"It's been fun with these guys," Ebbett said. "It keeps me young, especially talking with the centermen. Being the veteran guy, talking with them about different plays and different faceoffs. With (Alex) Mallet and (Alex) Friesen being rookies coming into the league – and even (Jordan) Schroeder – it's been fun playing that role and helping them with a tip here and there."

There's a gazillion little ad tech companies out there, as you can see in the well-traveled chart called the Display Lumascape on the right. Conventional (and probably correct) wisdom is that eventually many of them will get snapped up by bigger fish, whether that's giants like Google, Oracle, and Facebook or rivals that just did a better job.
Since that process has happened a little more slowly than many people expected, though, a few of those fish are getting pretty big. One of them is Rocket Fuel, a Redwood City (Calif.)-based startup that despite its name has flown under the radar of the general public. While it started out as an ad network, it might be better seen today as a so-called demand-side platform, or DSP. It buys ad space for marketers and uses its rocket-science technology to target ads precisely in real time to the most receptive prospects, a process that goes by the industry shorthand "programmatic buying."
Today, Rocket Fuel is announcing with unusual candor for a startup that its gross revenues rose 238% last year to $107 million. Notice I said gross revenues; a good chunk of that goes back to publishers from which it bought ad inventory. The company won't reveal net revenues.
But the growth is real. And that includes growth in customers, nearly a doubling of new advertisers. On their behalf, Rocket Fuel's system deals with more than 26 billion ad impressions a day. Not least, the company has more than doubled its staff, to 289 employees, including a new chief marketing officer and a couple of VPs.
CEO George John says the company isn't profitable yet, though he says it's close. "The playbook is to invest," he says, so plans are not for near-term profits.
You might wonder, as I did, whether revealing revenues is an indication that the company aims to go public soon. Actually, it has been just as forthcoming previously, and John won't say what his plans are.
But given that it had made noises back in 2011 about an IPO in 2012, instead raising a huge $50 million round last June, it's not out of the realm of possibility this year, market gods willing. Or, to mix a metaphor, it might continue to swim around the Lumascape and try to figure out whether to eat or be eaten.

Hello, How have you been?
I've recently (last week) completed my MFR/EMR class and waiting for NREMT so I'm "Officially" going from supportive spouse to active member in EMS. I'm so excited!
I joined the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) last November. In our rural area they have certified me to perform Traffic Control, change out FF airpacks and refill them (and monitor them so that FF like my dear hubby only get to go inside for 3 airpacks and then have to sit out and rehydrate and be evealuated by a medic when they don't appear well or have exceeded their air pack limit. My sweet Steve will not being going back for his 4th and 5th air packs anymore) , perform Advanced Field Operations and Urban Search and Rescue, and Wild Land search and Rescue, set up LZ's, refil oxygen tanks, Pipeline Emergencies response and damage Prevention.
I've missed our cribbing class, but will be caught up to speed ASAP. Not sure what our next class is on the 6th, but May 13 we're being trained as Weather Spotters.
Sorry I just can hardly stand the wait or contain my excitement and wanted to share part of why I've not been here lately.
Hope you have a TERRIFIC Easter holiday . As Always...Be sAfe and stay in touch.
Thanks for stopping by hope all is well things have been crazy here slowing down now should have more time for the link
Be well be safe and my god bless you and your family in the coming New Year.

GStreamer on TI DaVinci and OMAP
Adding Features
Unfortunately, not all wonderful new features can be integrated into the DMAI plug-in source code. If we can't integrate your feature, we still want the patch so we can share it with the rest of the community.
A feature needs to have the following characteristics to be included:
- Builds without error using currently supported DMAI/DVSDK for each supported device
- Does not require special hardware to use the feature (feature can be accepted if it extends existing functionality, like adding resolutions)
- Follows the GObject, GStreamer, and DMAI plug-in design philosophies and coding standards
Developing a New Feature
Depending on the complexity of the new feature, you may want others in the community to assist in designing developing, reviewing, and testing. If so, it might make sense to setup a branch you can use for feature development.

Mancini has previously expressed an admiration for Cavani, who is regarded as one of the most potent forwards in world football.
Napoli have recently insisted it will cost £60million to persuade them to sell, although the Uruguay international said he is unsure where he will be playing next season.
Chelsea and Real Madrid are other clubs to have been linked with Cavani, and Gregucci says there is no 'exclusive' deal for City to sign the player.
"He is an important player and any club which wants to be better must look at players like him," Gregucci told Radio Crc.
"Mancini has expressed his appreciation for Cavani, but there is no 'exclusive' for City."
Reports have suggested that a deal for Cavani would prompt the summer departure of Edin Dzeko, but Gregucci would not be drawn on whether the Bosnian striker would be sold.
He added: "Dzeko is an important player too and, at the moment, it seems inappropriate to speak of the market."
City's faltering defence of their Premier League title has also raised questions over the future of Mancini at the Etihad Stadium.
Gregucci commented: "Mancini has a contract with City, we will see at the end of the season."

Did you read my post?
Aionios, being an adjective, does not change meaning. It's duty is to inform us of that which pertains to the eon(s).It cannot be greater than the noun from which it is derived.
Quote from: Tony NAionios, being an adjective, does not change meaning. It's duty is to inform us of that which pertains to the eon(s).It cannot be greater than the noun from which it is derived. That your statement is false is obvious when considering the fact that words change meaning over time. For instance, in English, the word gorgeous means "beautiful". However, gorgeous derives from the noun gorge, meaning "throat". By Tony's logic, when I tell my wife she is gorgeous, I really mean that she is "throaty".Besides, aionios first appears in Plato's writings, where he clearly uses it in reference to timeless eternity.
The original meaning of Gorgeous is of French origin (gorrias) and meant "elegant". People wore gorria necklaces around their throat and so they were said to be gorrias or gorgeous. Now it is a faded figure that people themselves are gorgeous due to the quality of their looks just as their necklaces had a beautiful quality about them.What is the noun of gorrias and how is gorrias greater than that noun?
gorgeous c.1495, from M.Fr. gorgias "elegant, fashionable," perhaps lit. "necklace" (and thus "fond of jewelry"), from O.Fr. gorge "bosom, throat," also "something adorning the throat."
Gorgeous is a word whose etymology demonstrates how a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, though a little more knowledge is often enough to set you right. In this case, the root gorge- suggests "eating" or "devouring", and so a folk etymology is obvious: gorgeous means "edible beauty", that is, something so pretty you are tempted to eat it. But that would be wrong. The fossil record of words makes clear that the ultimate parent of gorgeous is, indeed, the root gorge-, which does not so much mean "eat" as it does "throat" or "narrow channel". But the descent of meaning is something like the following: gorge is taken to denote the throat, and then various things around the throat get similar names. A gorget is a piece of throat armor, and a gorgias was a neckerchief. Then, the use of fancy, colorful neckerchiefs spawned the word gorgayse, meaning "elegant", "dressy", or "showy", and now the final step to gorgeous, meaning "beautiful" or "captivating", is easy to anticipate.
Plato never used aionias as "timeless eternity." We've been over this time and again.
Besides, aionios first appears in Plato's writings, where he clearly uses it in reference to timeless eternity.
That your statement is false is obvious when considering the fact that words change meaning over time.
But writing in the very expressive Greek language, Justinian says, "The holy church of Christ teaches an endless eonian (ateleuteetos aiõnios) life for the just, and endless (ateleuteetos) punishment for the wicked."
Hi everyone. I am currently involved in a discussion concerning Plato's use of aionios in Timaeus.
just as "aeonian punishment" is simply that sort of perfect parental punishment which originates in the heavenly Father. Thoughts?
That your statement is false is obvious when considering the fact that words change meaning over time. For instance, in English, the word gorgeous means "beautiful". However, gorgeous derives from the noun gorge, meaning "throat". By Tony's logic, when I tell my wife she is gorgeous, I really mean that she is "throaty".
Just because some words morph over time (and they do) does not mean that the morphed meaning of TODAY is the meaning that the words ORIGINALLY meant. Do you understand this?
Also, this is not about morphology. It is about what the meaning of the word was WHEN it was used in the Bible.
There is not one place in all the Bible where aion or olam (olam being it's equivalent) were ever used of the sense of eternal.
Therefore it is impossible for its adjectival form of aionios/olam to mean eternal, for the adjective in the bible is NEVER greater than the noun from which it is derived. NEVER.
Aionios, being an adjective, does not change meaning. It's duty is to inform us of that which pertains to the eon(s).It cannot be greater than the noun from which it is derived.It (aionios) modifies the noun (i.e., Theos/God) as in Romans 16:26. The noun should never modify the adjective.
Upon a lead tablet found in the necropolis at Adrumetum, in the Roman province of Africa, near Carthage, belonging to the early third century, the following inscription is scratched in Greek, "I am adjuring Thee, the great God, the eonian and more than eonian (epaiõnion) and almighty, the One up-above the up-above gods." Deissmann requires to render this as follows: "the eternal and more than eternal and almighty, who is exalted above the exalted Gods."
Are you familiar with Palto's philosophy?
The original Hebrew Bible was translated into Greek, by seventy scholars, and hence called "TheSeptuagint," B.C. 200-300,(1) and the Hebrew word Olam is, in almost all cases, translated AiónAióniosetc., (Aíwv, Aíwvios,) so that the two words may be regarded as synonymous with each other. In theNew Testament the same wordsAión and its derivatives, are the original Greek of the Englishwords,Eternal, Everlasting, Forever, etc.. So that when we ascertain the real meaning of Aión, we havesettled the sense of those English words in which the doctrine of Endless Punishment is erroneouslytaught.
The oldest lexicographer, Hesychius, (A. D. 400-600,) definesaión thus: "The life of man, the time oflife." At this early date no theologian had yet imported into the word the meaning of endless duration. Itretained only the sense it had in the classics, and in the Bible.
Theodoret(9) (A. D. 300-400) "Aión is not any existing thing, but an interval denoting time, sometimesinfinite when spoken of God, sometimes proportioned to the duration of the creation, and sometimes tothe life of man."
Hesiod employs it twice: "To him (the married man) during aiónos (life) evil is constantly striving,etc.(17) Æschulus has the word nineteen times, after this manner: "This life (aión) seems long, etc.
Aristotle uses aión twelve times. He speaks of the existence or duration (aión) of the earth;(22) of anunlimited aiónos;(23) and elsewhere, he says: aión sunekes kai aidios, "an eternal aión" (or being)"pertaining to God." The fact that Aristotle found it necessary to add aidios to aión to ascribe eternity toGod demonstrates that he found no sense of eternity in the word aión, and utterly discards the idea thathe held the word to mean endless duration, even admitting that he derived
THE PLATONIC DERIVATIONS.We have proceeded on the ground that Aristotle's etymology is authoritative. But nothing is furtherfrom the truth. The scholarship of to-day, possessed by an average educated philologist, is far morecompetent to trace this or any Greek word to its real source, than Plato or Aristotle was able to do. Inhis analysis of Plato's Cratylus,(8) Grote accurately observes of Plato's etymologies: "Though sometimesreasonable enough, they are in a far greater number of instances forced, arbitrary, and fanciful. Thetransitions of meaning imagined, and the structural transformations of words, are alike strange andviolent. Such is the light in which these Platonic etymologies appear to a modern critic. But such wasnot the light in which they appeared either to the ancient Platonists or critics earlier than the lastcentury. The Platonists even thought then full of mysterious and recondite wisdom. So complete hasbeen the revolution of opinion that the Platonic etymologies arenow treated by most critics as too absurdto have been seriously intended by Plato, even as conjectures. It is called 'a valuable discovery ofmodern times' (so Schleiermacher terms it) that Plato meant most of them as mere parody andcaricature."The character of Aristotle as an etymologist is thus stated by Grote: "Nor are they more absurd thanmany of the etymologies proposed by Aristotle." A slender hook this, whereon to hang such a doctrineas that of the immortal wo of countless millions of souls.
Some years since Rev. Ezra S. Goodwin(13) patiently and candidly traced this word through theClassics, finding the noun frequently in nearly all the writers, but not meeting the adjective until Plato,its inventor, used it. He states, as the result of his protracted and exhaustive examination from thebeginning down to Plato, "We have the whole evidence of seven Greek writers, extending through aboutsix centuries, down to the age of Plato, who make use of Aión, in common with other words; and no oneof them EVER employs it in the sense of eternity."

When cloud computing first emerged, IT analysts had mixed feelings about the hosted services, unsure if they would be embraced or disregarded in the enterprise. Today, experts understand that the cloud now plays a central role in the ongoing development of the business world, providing decision-makers and employees with innovative solutions for growth and performance improvements.
Companies are using a mix of different cloud models, including Platform, Software and Infrastructure as a Service, all with positive results. In fact, a recent CA Technologies survey of IT decision-makers who have been using the cloud for at least a year found that the benefits of using the hosted solutions are exceeding many respondents' expectations.
Many executives highlighted the cost-saving advantages of the cloud. This is because the ongoing use of the cloud is allowing decision-makers to become more familiar with the technology and, as a result, establish new goals and objectives. "Cost is often considered an early benefit – or even a required result – in order for IT teams to justify moving in the direction of the cloud," said John Michelsen, chief technology officer of CA Technologies. "Once they show that cloud computing improves the bottom line, they can shift their focus to innovation and other objectives, such as increased performance and enhanced security."
Who is using the cloud?
CA Technologies found several unique distinctions between organizations planning to invest more in cloud servers and other solutions within the next year and firms that are still on the fence. First, businesses that have been using the cloud for four or more years are roughly six times as likely to spend more money on the hosted services in 2013 than their counterparts that are relatively newer to the environment. This suggests that companies that have done more than just tested the water are more comfortable with the cloud and are experiencing greater results.
Second, the study found that organizations in the United States are more likely to invest in the cloud this year than businesses in the U.K., France, Germany, Italy and Benelux. In fact, 48 percent of U.S. respondents stated they plan to up cloud spending by up to 30 percent, while another 17 percent will invest even more. This is a stark contrast between the 42 percent and 4 percent, respectively, of European IT decision-makers.

Chattanooga Basketball Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga at College of Charleston
TD Arena - Charleston, S.C.
Saturday - Jan. 12, 2013
Chattanooga Head Coach John Shulman
Thoughts on the game
"Charleston won the physical battle today. Their physicality, not only on the glass, but defending and getting through screens is tough. We threw it inside but they were beating and banging. I knew they were either going to be down or they were going to be really mad. They played very lethargic against Furman, should have lost against Furman, and they played the same way against Samford. Had they beaten Samford, it would have continued until they got a slap in the face. But they got a slap in the face Thursday and it woke them up. They haven't played like that in a while. They haven't been playing inspired, and they got woken up Thursday. We got woken up a little bit today and we've won five out of six coming into this game. Now we've won five out of seven. We would have killed for a split when the trip started and we got it. We are going to learn from it."
Thoughts on Charleston's physicality
"Baru altered our shots and a nice shot blocker does that. He made it to where we couldn't nearly attack the basket, but I thought Gee did a great job of attacking in the second half. Dontay didn't have the juice to go like he did against The Citadel, so his night was over when the score got out of hand, but Farad, Gee and Eric all need to grow up. They are getting better, but the physicality and athleticism showed tonight by Charleston was overpowering for the young guys. There is a reason why they beat Baylor at Baylor. There is a reason they had a top-75 RPI going into the game the other night. They have been sleepwalking and winning games, and they learned the hard way, you can't do that. And we got punished because of that."
On where the Mocs go after the loss
"This opened the eyes of some of our young guys. I was sitting on the floor after the game, and this is a good thing, Gee comes back off the floor from giving interviews and he looked at me and told me, 'Get up, Coach. We're going to be alright. We learned a lot tonight.' If you have guys saying that, it's a great thing. And another great thing, Dontay has finally opened his mouth. I walked into the locker room and didn't have to talk much because Dontay is leading the postgame speech. When you have Dontay leading the speech and Gee telling me it's going to be alright, then we are going to be alright.
Gee McGhee, guard, freshman
Thoughts on the game
"Charleston is a great team. They came in and did what they were supposed to do. We just had an off-day of shooting the basketball. We had problems executing our plays so that was a tough one."
On being aggressive down low
"Adjehi Baru is a great player. I think he is more of a health-side blocker so, if I ever went after him, I went straight after him. If you are going in on the health-side, he is going to block it because of how big and athletic he is. I went at him from the top as a one-on-one because he wasn't going to try to block that and pick up fouls. I was just doing what I could to get to the rim."
Thoughts on Charleston's quick start
"It just got out of hand really quick. It was hard because they were executing and they are hard to slow down when they are in their flow, and they didn't let up. They may let up on some teams later in the game, normally, but they didn't. They just kept going to the goal and we didn't have an answer for it, but we have to keep working at it and getting better."
Ronrico White, guard, sophomore
Thoughts on Charleston's quick start
"They really got their momentum going early. They were hitting shots and we couldn't stop them. They were just lights-out. They were making it to the goal, shooting layups and hitting their three-pointers. It was a great game, on their part."
Thoughts on Charleston's comeback after losing to Samford
"You could say they woke up after their loss Thursday to Samford, but we have to come out and play better than that. That is unacceptable for this program. There is no way we should have lost by this much tonight."
On trying to keep the game in reach
"We just have to keep doing what we are doing. We have to stay in character and try not to get too out of system offensively when the game begins to slip away. We had to start getting stops. We started the game 1-for-11 and they weren't missing shots and we weren't getting stops on the other side."

Fifa president Sepp Blatter could emulate hockey example by scrapping the offside rule.
What do you think of this?
Should the offside rule be scrapped?
Well Blatter... here is the thing.
Why do you not introduce technology that can keep check if the ball has crossed the line, instead of considering dramatic changes such as scrapping the offside rule!!!
well if he really said that i hope he was jokingeven the idea of scraping the offside rule is really stooopid
If he removes the thing off, there will be 3 forwards standing next to post and try scoring on long balls haha
and tall strikers demand will rise rapidly. Real madrid would want to sign peter crouch and barca will go for nikola zigic.

Throughout the Elkin City Schools annual board retreat this past weekend, the increased use of technology in the classrooms and school facilities was emphasized.
With the rise of programs like NC Wise, Moodle, and Blackboard, teachers are increasingly using computers and the Internet to educate and engage students.
Britt Shaw, Technology Coordinator for Elkin City Schools, gave his department's update and summary for the year. He painted a bright picture, highlighting the expansion of wireless Internet at the schools and the new technologies entering the classroom.
According to Shaw, the average computer usage for the school system is roughly 41 megahertz, with a peak of roughly 68 MHz. Prior to this year, the schools were only running approximately 20 MHz. The jump is due to increased usage of Internet-based utilities like Moodle and ClassScape by teachers. Once the monthly usage reaches 60 MHz, the state will automatically update the Elkin school system to 250 megabytes per month to handle the larger workload, free of charge, Shaw said. Currently Elkin stands at 25.82 MHz a month..
When Shaw first began working for ECS, the system had a 1.5 megabyte Internet connection. Three years ago, that number jumped to 10 megabytes. Today, the school has 100 megabytes.
Because of the 100 megabytes "pipeline," Shaw said, the schools were able to do things they would not have been able to do a few years ago.
Elkin schools had 700-800 computers three years ago. Today, that number has nearly doubled, totaling 1,300 computers. However, some of those units are old and need to be disposed of. The need for more and more machines is being offset by students and their personal devices from home.
BYOD, or Bring Your Own Device, is quickly becoming commonplace in Elkin City Schools. Students are allowed to bring their own mobile devices to participate in homework and class time, allowing students who are not able to provide their own laptops or devices more time on the school-provided instruments.
With an increase in availability, plus additional computers being provided by students, ECS is quickly approaching one device for every one student. Currently, there is one computer cart available for every two teachers to share in their classrooms. Shaw said that in comparison with larger school systems, ECS is much closer to a one-to-one ratio.
As students are encouraged to bring their laptops, phones, and tablets, the board may have to rethink its policy on devices in the classroom. Teachers would have to consider their lesson plans and the intended programs to be run, so students who have a small phone screen can do the same tasks as someone with a Kindle, a tablet, or a laptop.
When asked about security and what measures could be taken to prevent objectionable material from being viewed, Shaw said that filters would prevent most problems from arising.
The potential for risky viewing comes from the use of 3G data plans, where the school's filters have no control. The need for responsible Internet usage lies on the student. When asked if teachers or administrators have any control over the students' private property, Elkin High School Principal Joel Hoyle answered yes, and no.
If a student is observed with inappropriate content, such as pornography, the teacher can confiscate the item and the principal can contact the parents to discuss the issue. The principal will not confiscate the item permanently, as some systems do until the end of the semester. Mr. Hoyle said that this was due to the fact many parents want their kids to have a cellphone for safety reasons, and the schools would not infringe on that.
The introduction of wireless devices is still a new topic, and the rulebooks are having to be rewritten to identify the new technological developments.
"Those technologies are not going away, and we need to find ways to make good, constructive use of that," said Hoyle.
Elkin City Schools Superintendent Dr. Randy Bledsoe said, "As we move forward in education, there are so many opportunities for our children, and at the heart of that is technology."
Recently, the school system has made a guest network of wireless Internet available to visitors, although the system is still in its infancy. Shaw said that the first day the network was set up for about 500 devices, and that number has since been increased to over 4,000 users. Wireless routers can be seen under the basketball goals in the high school gym inside a protective case, looking similar to a smoke detector.
Elkin City Schools had to relocate its annual Board Retreat Friday, Feb. 22nd, due to inclement weather conditions. The yearly meeting was slated to be held at the Elkin Center of Surry Community College, where Highway 268 Bypass and Bridge Street meet. Instead, due to closings by SCC, the board met at the Central Office off West Spring Street.

Jeff Weber, a chemistry and mathematics senior at Willamette University, was one of only 15 students from nearly 600 applicants nationwide to earn a prestigious $250,000 Hertz Foundation Fellowship for innovative leaders in the applied sciences and engineering.
The award, which supports up to five years of graduate studies, is the nation's most generous doctoral fellowship. Stanford, Harvard, Caltech, Princeton, MIT and Columbia are recruiting Weber for their graduate programs, but he is still deciding where to continue his research.
While attending Willamette, Weber worked closely with chemistry professor Karen Holman to research an anti-cancer drug by collecting data with a particle accelerator, and he won a fellowship to spend a summer at Caltech working with Nobel Prize-winning chemist Ahmed Zewail.
He previously earned a national Goldwater Scholarship for students pursuing mathematics or science careers, and Willamette awarded him a Presidential Scholarship, which provides money for tuition and summer research.
Many of this year's Hertz Fellows come from large, research-oriented universities - including MIT, Stanford, Berkeley and Harvard - but Weber says he earned distinct advantages by studying at a small, liberal arts university like Willamette.
"The most exciting aspect of my research at Willamette was its conception - from a wide range of interdisciplinary topics, I was able to choose and pursue my own interests in the laboratory," he said. "This provided me with insight into the holistic world of research design and development that I'll enter after leaving Willamette."
In graduate school, Weber plans to examine how proteins fold and interact within the body. "A great number of diseases are caused by the phenomenon of protein misfolding: in many cases, important proteins are rendered dysfunctional by mysterious 'mistakes' in self-interaction," Weber said.
Using physical principles such as quantum and statistical mechanics, mathematical frameworks that describe subatomic processes and how they affect larger objects, he hopes to better understand certain diseases and to help design drugs that inhibit mistakes.
Holman, Weber's mentor, said that his work will have an important impact on society.
"If he wins his own Nobel someday, I won't be surprised," she said.
About Hertz Fellowships
Hertz Fellowships allow exceptional applied-scientists and engineers the freedom to innovate.

Top quotes of 2012
A look back at some of the most memorable soundbites from the past year.
Barack Obama, July 13
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business—you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."(Photo: AP Photo)
