Earnestine Edwards Hill, age 89, of Corona, N.Y.
FUNERAL SERVICES Donella Burton
The celebration honoring the life of Donella Debbie Iszard Burton was held at Morningside Church,
Port St. Lucie, Florida on August 31, 2013. Donella was born January 22, 1933, in Georgetown, SC, to the proud parents of Howard B. Iszard and Rebecca G. Iszard.
Donella proclaimed Christ as her personal Savior early in life as a member of Arnett A.M.E. Church.
Church Georgetown SC, where she served faithfully until she relocated to Brooklyn, N.Y. Donella was graduated from Howard High School in Georgetown in June 1951; attended Oakwood College, Huntsville, Ala.; Columbia Institute, N.Y.; Massasoit Community College, Brockton, Mass.; Southeastern Regional Technical School, Easton, Mass. and Brevard College, Cocoa, Fla.
It was in 1960 she married the love of her life, Harold Alfred Burton (deceased). A year later, Donella and Harold moved to Merritt Island, Fla. where her husband was employed as an engineer with the NASA space program, he wanted Donella to share in his accomplishment. It was during this time Vincent Alfred Burton, a loving son, was born.
The family remained in Florida until her husband earned a job promotion as senior engineer with Raytheon Company in Massachusetts; therefore, the family relocated to Randolph, Mass..
While in Massachusetts, Donella continued her Christian faith by serving her church and community as a strong prayer partner and an information receptionist — the receptionist with the sweet, calming voice, full of wisdom, knowledge and love that could direct you through the most difficult situations. The family remained in Massachusetts until Donella retired from ICI America's, Inc. as an assistant buyer.
Then the decision was made to move back to Florida.
Donella joined Morningside Church in Port St. Lucie, Fla., where she and Harold resided.
She served her church and community as a prayer group leader, a religious advisor, a missionary receptionist (calling the sick and shut-in to find out what they were in need of) and as a special friend to the children as a foster group parent volunteer at Village Green Environmental Studies School, Port St. Lucie, Fla.
On August 27, 2013, Donella D. Izard Burton heard her Master's voice and closed her eyes in eternal slumber.
Donella was preceded in death by her father Howard B. Izard and two brothers, Woodrow A. Iszard and Henry H. Iszard.
She leaves to cherish her memories a devoted family, a loving son, Vincent (Mary Lou) Burton; grandchildren, Vincent Harold, Nicholas Andrew and Hannah Florence Burton of Randolph, Mass.; a devoted mother, Rebecca G. Iszard of Georgetown, S.C.; sisters, Marilyn I. (Fred) Sumpter of Georgetown, S.C. and Eva I. Glover of Vero Beach, Fla.; sisters-in-law: Kisha Ajose of Albany, Ga. and Mary Hawkins of New York, N.Y.; brothers-in-law: Benny and Lenny (Diane) Burton of New York, N.Y.; and a host of friends nieces, nephews, cousins and dedicated friends, Elmira Gainey, Sarah G. Myers, Stella Myers, Georgia Johnson and Lillie Lewis.
Lois Ethridge
Lois Glisson Ethridge, 89, of Andrews, widow of James Muldred Ethridge, died Saturday, October 26, 2013, at Tidelands Hospice House in Georgetown.
Mrs. Ethridge was born in Georgetown County on December 23, 1923, a daughter of the late David Marion Glisson and Nora Bell Aldridge Glisson.
She grew up in Andrews and was a former employee of Oneita Knitting Mills.
Mrs. Ethridge was a life-long member of Andrews Baptist Church.
Surviving are two brothers, John Watson Glisson and Ronnie Glisson (Annette), all of Andrews; three sisters, Johnsie Johnson of Georgetown, and Evelyn Hughes and Modrey Chavis Coward (Jack), both of Monroe, N.C.; a special niece, Debbie Morris (Laurie); and a number of other nieces and nephews.
In addition to her husband and parents, Mrs. Ethridge was predeceased by a daughter, Patsy Gail Ethridge.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon, October 29, 2013, at the Andrews Chapel of Mayer Funeral Home.

YIVO's first exhibition at its new home—YIVO At 75: Milestones & Treasures— opened in October 2000 at the Center for Jewish History. The exhibition celebrated the breadth and richness of YIVO's history and chronicled the role YIVO has played in Jewish scholarship and communal life in Europe and the United States.
Curated by YIVO Archivist Fruma Mohrer and designed by Paul Hunter of Artel Exhibitions, the show traced YIVO's history from its founding in Vilna, Lithuania in 1925, through the Holocaust and the post-1940 period in the United States. The story of East European Yiddish language, literature, and culture was also told through YIVO's collections. The exhibition included many rare documents, books, and artifacts never before displayed in public.
The exhibition was accompanied by a catalog, edited by Fruma Mohrer and Roberta Newman (English) and Dr. Paul Glasser and David Rogow (Yiddish). This catalog is available for purchase at the Center's Fanya Gottesfeld Heller Book Store. Click here for a list of other available YIVO publications and for information on how to purchase the catalog.

To The Editor:
Reuse of historical buildings in a registered historical town is the goal.
Speaking with many people in the Mad River Valley about the location of the town office, everyone says YES we have a duty to preserve history. Using the Methodist church as our town hall brings with it the history of the town, state and country plus a modern efficient office space in the exact proper location. Now, when we bring in cost nobody wants to spend money to make a historical town worse. So spending money on a brand spanking new building while letting a perfectly useful and perfectly located one rot away is wasteful and against any so-called New England values.
The town office task force has worked hard and I know everyone wants to see planning finished, decisions made and projects moved ahead. But we the townspeople cannot compromise on our history and a project that will last another 100 years.

Apple TV 3 rumored to be readying for March launch
There's a rumor going around that Apple could be preparing a second product launch to accompany the iPad 3 this March, and the current front-runner is Apple TV 3. Mark Gurman from 9to5Mac reports:
We've been hearing that supplies of the Apple TV are severely constrained, but it's hard to see a reason for this besides an imminent refresh. We've been hitting hard with evidence for the past few months that suggests a new Apple TV is in development, and what better time to launch it than alongside the latest and greatest mobile iOS device?
Rumored new features center on 1080p content made possible by an updated chipset, perhaps the current Apple A5 dual-core, ARM Cortex A9, or even a next-generation Apple A5X or Apple A6 (whichever ships with the iPad 3).
What and how much 1080p content Apple will have available via iTunes to accompany the launch is unknown. What a new Apple TV 3 this march means, if anything, for rumors of a full-on Apple iTV television is also unknown.
The current, iOS-powered Apple TV 2 was announced in September of 2010. Apple TV 3 rumors have been swirling for a while now, beginning well before the 2011 holiday shopping quarter.
If these rumors pan out, March could just bring us one more thing...

Apple TV 3 rumored to be readying for March launch
I've had an Apple TV for years. ALL THIS TIME it has had the potential for apps. It STILL doesn't have apps! If they don't have support for apps I'm going to pass. If they do have support for apps, then HOORAY!
Dear Apple: I'm using Google TV right now because it has apps and a keyboard. Give us apps and support for a keyboard. Every day that goes by, I'm getting more and more integrated into Google infrastructure, and even considering switching to an Android as my main phone.
Apple TV was an innovative leap forward, but now you have watched others pass you by instead of leading the way.
I'm fairly unhappy with my Roku. An Apple TV 3 could be what I am looking for.
I would return it ASAP & keep an ATV3 in both rooms.
Just brought ATV2 but think I'll be keeping it as I'm loving xbmc on there and can't see the ATV3 getting jailbreak anytime soon
ATV is weak. I have one. Enjoy it ok. But it's lacking in so many ways. Not enough content. Bad interface. Lots of lag. This is a device that didn't get much thought out into it. And don't give me the cop out excuse of it being Apple's "hobby". That's BS. Just as much a load of crap as Siri being released in "beta". Both are half-baked products rushed to market in an effort to make an extra buck.
But I can't wait for AirPlay mirroring to my MBA w Mt Lion. That will change the game for ATV. Should be pretty sweet.
I'll get the Apple TV the minute it comes out, assuming 1080p is part of the new version. If the only feature I'll get is AirPlay mirroring with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, I'm good. With that, all shackles are removed from the Apple TV as far as compatible codecs and container formats are concerned, as you could watch anything and everything, iTunes-compatible notwithstanding and without having to convert ever again, by simply running VLC and streaming your whole OS.
Mountain Lion in its first developer preview is ridiculously stable right now. Since installing it over Lion, I've had 2 apps crash and one other app doesn't work yet on 10.8. The new Safari browser is also smooth as can be and I've never even considered going back to Lion. Mountain Lion + Apple TV 3 will essentially turn the Apple TV 3 into a full-blown gaming console. Game Center is part of OS X 10.8 anyway, though, so Apple seems to want to accomplish exactly that anyway. Sweet days are ahead....
Let's get this iPad 3/Apple TV 3 launch out of the way, so that the "radically re-designed" MacBook Pro's and iMac's can get the full attention by Apple engineers. Retina and IPS please! Then I'll never leave the house again. (seriously, why would I?) :-D
@ Crunch - Agree that 10.8 is rock solid. It should be, since it's an evolution of 10.7 which was already very stable.
And we agree with Rene in predicting an ATV update soon after the 2012 iPad launch. Same basic circuit board as the 2012 iPad and presumably the 2012 iPhone (minus the cell phone radio of course). But Apple likes to keep its announcements focused, so it's possible that the 3rd-gen ATV won't be announced together with the new iPad.
apple tv is such a useless piece of poorly built technology. I have had three die in a year. They just stop working. Cant connect them to the desktop to reinstall the os so i have to take another two hours to go to the nightmare of customer service that they call the apple store. This thing never worked properly, from not keeping a connection to lock ups and death. Not to mention the lack of apps and providers. Too many better options out there from roku to xbox and ps3. I would rather have access to more free content and lower price options on the others. Example episode of walking dead on itunes 2.99 same episode on amazon 1.99.
Sorry to hear you had such problems. The three I have have been amazing. Simple interface that my non-technical mom can use and the few times it has locked up, I've just had to power cycle from the remote (didn't want to get up an unplug). And you totally can hook it up to the computer and restore the OS if you need to. I jailbroke one and didn't find that too useful. Eventually updated it and then the NetFlix issue with certain servers wouldn't authenticate cropped up. Used the desktop connection to downgrade back to prior release until Netflix did something on their end go prevent the problem from re-surfacing.
Josh ,your post it utter bs simply because Apple has THE best customer service. When my ATV2 remote stopped working , I called them up and after 5 mins of trouble shooting the lady helping me said they'll replace the entire unit. No questions asked about where I bought it or when. 2 days later I had a brand new apple tv and return label.
Good for you, have never had a good experience with their customer service. On four different occassions always crap outcome the best being my ipad 2 5.0 upgrade promised call backs on three occassion when the upgrade deleted all my info and some important docs, that was what five months ago still no call. The store is even worse at least where i live.
This could be brilliant...
Retina IPad 3 w/ full screen 1080P using 802.11ac gigibit WiFi.
Apple TV with same specs.
Enter the world of no cables between the computer and the monitor.
Expect a release of monitors that have 802.11ac to follow, and an upgrade to Macs to support them.
Can you spell "disruptive"?
I've been ready to buy an ATV but have been holding out for the ATV3. Specificaly holding out for 1080p and more content partners (pandora, vevo, etc). Also an app store download apps such as pandora or games. The beginnings of a casual gamers console perhaps? I hope it doesn't disappoint.
Honestly couldn't live with out my Apple TV. Love being able to stream my 866 movie collection and my 1,235 album music collection. Air Play is awesome for steaming youtube videos from my iPad. Can't wait till Mountain lion comes out so Air Play will get even better.
So alot of people on here are concerned about the Apps. Once Mountain Lion comes out you'll be able to mirror your Mac to your TV. You can already mirror an I Pad or an I Phone to Apple TV so in essence you don't need any apps. You can stream movies or TV shows from Hulu or even your own video collection to Apple TV.
I've been exploring for a little for any high-quality articles or blog posts in this sort of house . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this website. Reading this info So i am happy to convey that I've an incredibly excellent uncanny feeling I came upon just what I needed. I so much without a doubt will make certain to do not overlook this site and provides it a look regularly.
Style and Sound not familiar with Jessica Harlow, guess I'm out of the beauty and glamour loop. But she does a good job presenting this howdini how-to, and I like the idea of customizing mass market consumer stuff....is etching my drivers license number considered "personaliization" lol
I can't launch Absinthe…get an error saying it has quit unexpectedly…try relaunching with same error.
hello!,I really like your writing so a lot! share we keep up a correspondence extra about your post on AOL? I need a specialist in this house to solve my problem. Maybe that is you! Taking a look ahead to see you.

Yo yo yo, Bratzos!!
Sasha here, and I want to talk to you about the hottest autumn trend. Moustaches are in! And they're not just for hipsters. Not during the month of November, anyway.
This November, help raise awareness for men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, by joining in the epically fabulous, MOvember.
Movember stands for "moustache November." Men who are supporting the cause, grow their moustaches for the entire month of November. But you don't have to be a dude to dive into all the dramarama. You know this Queen Bee isn't giving up an opportunity to rock the latest look!
Mo-Bros may have it easier by simply letting their facial hair grow, but Mo-Sistas have many options to help the cause and look fab doing it!
Here are a few ways Mo-Sistas can celebrate Movember:
1: The Finger-Stache.
Simply place your pointer finger above your upper lip to look like a moustache. Whenever you see a Mo-Bro, make your finger-stache to show your support!
(Picture by us.movember)
2: The Pony-Stache
Use your own hair or ponytail and pull it around to front of your face to act as a moustache!
(Picture by voucher codes.co.uk)
3: Jewelry-Stache:
Check out these ultra fab sunglasses and fabnomenal ring! Some moustache jewelry even donates a part of their proceeds to men's cancers research! Check before you buy! Shopping is so much more fun when you're helping peeps at the same time! Am I right?
(Pictures by Rainandhaleblog and iloveitsomuch)
4: Nail-Staches
For an easy and free moustache look, you can always paint on your stache! This way, you can never leave your look somewhere or forget it at home! You'll be supporting the cause 24/7!
(Pic from The Brothers Frost)
5: Stache-on-a-Stick
Cut out a moustache in your fave construction paper color and tape it to a straw for an easy, no-drama moustache.
(Pic from the train tattoo)

NO, because you can't take away the only reason PvP servers exist in the game: ganking. You can't have people learning the game in a decent enviornment. They need to be able to regret their desicion to play the game immediatley!

Seriously I think they would be shooting themselves in the foot if they didnt make a PvE server, at least in the sense of having safe areas. A lot of people prefer consentual PvP, without worrying about some loser camping the low level areas ganking people, not supporting that would lower the potential player base a lot.

I understand this is a PvP game. That said, the goal of any company should be to make money. First, there is no harm in making at least one PvE server. It wouldn't hurt PvP players or PvP servers as they would be on another server all together. Secondly, if the Dev's found there was much interest in the PvE side, they could simply start creating content for it. If they find no or little interest, it's a simple matter of flipping a switch to shut it down.
Wurm Online when it first released was also a crafting / PvP game and was doing vary poorly. They made a PvE server and found more folks wanted the PvE side than PvP. They also found at time, people wanted to play the PvP side, so made it so that people could travel from one to the other.
Best of both worlds.

Your attempt at sarcasm fails. Horribly.
1. They're implementing protected areas for new players to learn the game prior to going out into the PvP areas. So, yes, there will be a "decent environment" for people to learn the game in.
2. If being PK'd in a FFA PvP MMO would "make you regret your decision to play", then why the hell are you playing a FFA PvP MMO in the first place. They're not exactly deceiving anyone about the kind of the game it is.

Isn't saying there should NOT be a PvE server the same thing?
I get the argument a gainst in for Darkfall just based on numbers alone. . but so many games people get all fiery when someone wants a PVE server. I know it takes the sheep away to farm but seriously.
Also for every PVE game I have played there has been a vocal minority screaming for a full PVP server even though those are rarely successful because the game was not designed for it.
For Darkfall I Used to wish there was a PvE only server because I wanted to explore and just play away. . after a few weeks I raelized how boring that would become and that one of the reasons I liked the game was beacause it had that element of danger.. same reason I love/hate MO.
I don't think it would work but I don't see the harm in having one either.. . does it destroy your game on the PvP server if the other does exist?

Ask them what their expenses would be to implement such an idea, for initial development and then to get it off the ground, including the first month or two's sub fees. Then propose starting a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for it. See if they'll get on board with such an idea.
If they are, then get everyone interested to donate to the Kickstarter fund. If you reach the required amount, then you will have proven that
A) There's sufficient player interest to make it worth their while
B) You're willing to actually invest in such an idea, such is your interest and desire to play the game.
C) AV will actually have enough money to make it happen.
If you're that keen on seeing it happen, then certainly donating the cost of a game box shouldn't dissuade you?
Even if they don't go for it, you've at least made yourself heard beyond posting haphazard suggestions on a message forum, no?

"Hurr it's code it can be changedz", is a piss poor argument.
Changing the fundamentals of the game takes alot of time and hence a significant portion of money. Given we are talking about a small, indie company and given we are talking about a company which has expressed zero interest in deviating from their core pvp principles, the idea of whacking in pve servers is simply ludicrous. Even before you consider the subsequent support and development concerns of running essentially two game variants.
Some people need to start to grasp the fact that not every single game out there needs to be tailored to their needs. Is there scope for a quality pve sandbox? Sounds like crap to me but yes. Now should that be done via butchering Darkfall, a game centred on ffa, full loot pvp? Nope, that should be as clear as day to anyone with a modicum of common sense.
Maybe you should spend time petitioning Blizzard to make skill based, sandbox, pve servers for WoW. After all it's only code not the fing Mona Lisa. Moreoever they have a larger team and more money to make it happen. Quick get on the WoW forums and get asking, go, go, go!!!!
Oh and at people using the argument "They should want to make money". Er they do, but they don't want to completely destroy the vision of the game thay they want to make, just to squeeze out some extra dollars. For all their faults, thank God we still have companies in the genre that think like that.

Darkfall is the type of game that only ever wants to have 1 server. Its just like Eve online that has 1 server for the entire world, but sadly Darkfall is also half a FPS game, and pings higher than 200+ do not allow for a fluid gaming experience. So Darkfall has two servers, one for EU and NA (they are thinking about one more for Ocianic)
The main reason though as to why there will never be a PVE server, is because Darkfall is a Conquest game. Where players are supposed to fight for holdings (Citys and Hamlets). This would not be possible on a PVE server, I guess there could be a trading city feature added but why bother really? Darkfall has a very lack luster PVE experience also, and is really just a nessacery evil, to at the end of the day, PVP.

Well stated. It's amazing how people think it's as simple as just "turning off PvP" and "voila" PvE server, with absolutely no thought or consideration for the cost in man-hours, hardware, bandwidth, etc. to produce and maintain it. It certainly explains how they can so easily use arguments like "they just flick a switch and turn it off" or "it's not the f'ing Mona Lisa" - both of those being equally ridiculous and uninformed assertions if one has even the absolute most basic understanding of programming and how complicated it can be to balance and interweave multiple complex systems into one big functioning whole.
I also agree that the "they need/want/should want to make money!" is a ridiculous and, again, poorly thought through argument. We're talking about a developer who went headlong into a genre where FFA PvP with full looting is a small niche, and invested the time and money into creating one anyway. They knew the risks and they knew the limited potential from the time they draw their first line of concept art. They aren't in this "for the money". They're in this to create a specific kind of game that they want to play, and that they know there are others who want to as well.
It's like telling someone opening an independent, "mom and pop" pizzeria that they "should want to make money, and the best way to do that is to open a location for one of the well-known chains instead, like Pizza Hut or Papa John's. After all more people know and like the pizza chains than would probably like their own recipe". The people opening mom and pop pizzerias aren't doing it "for the money", they're doing it for the love of owning their own pizzeria, selling their own unique recipes, from their own hand-made menus, in their own place, with their own decor and style and ambiance. The idea is that enough people like it and they earn enough customers to keep them in business, and continue doing what they love doing.
As you explained (and I touched on earlier), AV would essentially be running two different MMORPGs at that point, and having to give each version equal attention specific to its gameplay style, else they run the risk of one side claiming the other is being favored and they're being neglected. An already small team of about 30 people would have the task of doing for essentially two MMOs, what much bigger companies struggle to do with just one.
As I suggested, people could approach AV with the proposition of starting up a Kickstarter fund to generate the money required to create and launch a PvE server. Let those who are truly committed to the idea - and don't just want AV to take on 100% of the risk and cost on something that has no guarantee of being worth it in the end - put their money where their mouth is and show how dedicated they are to seeing it happen. Take some of the risk on themselves. And it'snot even like it's a "real" risk. Kickstarter doesn't take your money unless/until the goal is reached. It would be a symbolic gesture up to that point.
Somehow I doubt people are that committed to the premise though. They'll happily make every suggestion they can think up, as long as they're not the ones paying for it.

Darkfall is a PvP MMO. Leave it alone.
If spineless jellyfish like me want PvE only content .... then look elsewhere at other MMOs. If it gets changed that radically (PvE only content) then it will get ruined.
Darkfall is a MMO for people that like to PvP... don't change it.
(There... now the village idiot (me) has spoken his insane ramblings and now this question can be put to rest and the thread closed.)

I don't care either way, but I would say a stronger PvE model would be easily achieved with DF. There's a large sandbox following that enjoy the world / social building aspects of sandbox PvE. I would expect a larger player base would be interested in a PvE server and/or expanded PvE aspects to a PvP server.
From a business perspective, it would make sense as they could use additional PvE player base to fund PvP + PvE functionality.
Originally posted by rmk70
So, AV should make the game they aren't interested in making. Then, maybe if they do well enough and make enough money above and beyond supporting the PvE version alone, they can reward themselves by making the game they actually wanted to make to begin with.
Yeah.. that's perfectly logical. Do some of you people even think through these suggestions before you make them? Honestly.
I feel like I'm witnessing the equivalent of a bunch of people standing outside a vegetarian restaurant trying to argue/haggle/plead with the owners to expand their restaurant to include a meat menu. "Seriously, maybe you could just make the meat-serving version of the restaurant first, and then use those funds to create the vegetarian menu you actually wanted to offer in the first place. That is the most sound business advice you will ever get and you'd be a fool not to agree!".
Maybe people looking for a sandbox experience sans PvP could go play Wurm Online, or A Tale In The Desert instead? It's actually a much more rational suggestion than the one you just put forth.

It is considered "OK" to "swap customers" in the retail business world.... if they changed Darkfall by adding a PvE only server that is what the Devs would be doing. it is NOT "OK" to change a MMO product and drive away many of it's Player customers just to get the bigger group of Player customers.
I don't even play Darkfall and I know it's the wrong thing to do. Why? Because I have respect for the Players that DO play Darkfall NOW.

Despite a hole-in-one by Eagle freshman Spencer Klimek, Columbia City fell to the Vikings, 161-169.
Klimek led the Eagles with a 39, scoring his hole one-in-one on hole No. 17 from 142 yards out.
"Spencer led our team tonight," Columbia City Head Coach Andrew Thompson said. "He came out and had the great fortune to have the hole-in-one and that is a tremendous accomplishment. It's a tremendous feeling, and that is icing on the cake for him."
Fellow freshman Tyler Green was not far behind Klimek, scoring a 41.
Junior Trent Murphy carded a 44 while freshman Cameron Slavich came in one stroke behind him with a 45.

And while we like to think of Luther as a safe and welcoming place, we have round-the-clock safety and security personnel on campus.
Part of what creates an engaged student body and a deep sense of community at Luther is the fact that students live right here on campus in newly renovated, modern, and welcoming residence halls.

- Fields of Instruction
in the Mobile River area began in 1519 when
the Spanish Admiral Alonzo Alvarez de Pineda
entered and charted the area now known as Mobile
Bay. The old fort, now known as Fort Morgan,
guarding Mobile Bay, was first fortified by
the Spanish in 1559. Settled in 1711 by the
French, the bay area has had a tradition rich
in culture and vital in the affairs of the nation
from its formative years to the present.
Trade and
shipping are vital to the economy of the area.
Millions of tons of shipping are handled annually
through the Port of Mobile, which is rated among
the top ports in the country. More than fifteen
million tons of shipping are carried yearly
on the Tombigbee-Black Warrior waterway system
with its modern locks and dams. The intracoastal
waterway, crossing the southern end of the state,
is connected at Mobile Bay with both inland
and ocean shipping. Railroads and airlines serve
the Bay area. Diversified farming, woodland
crops, and seafood and fisheries are major factors
in the areas economy.
The University of South Alabama, with a global reach and special focus on the Gulf Coast, strives to make a difference in the lives of those it serves through promoting discovery, health, and learning.
University of South Alabama is dedicated in purpose
to the creation of an environment of intellectual
excitement and an educational climate that will
stimulate both faculty and students. A forum of
free thought and discussion is provided which
is intended to help develop an independent spirit
undergirded by the moral and ethical values essential
for effective participation in a free society.
The University strives for fresh approaches to
courses and programs. Emphasis is placed on the
traditional dedication to the advancement and
dissemination of knowledge, as a center of learning
concerned with the arts and humanities, study
of human nature, phenomena of the physical world,
processes of human relationships, and the knowledge
and skills necessary for participation in professional
vocational endeavors. The University actively
encourages the students to take responsibility
for their own welfare and that of the community,
thus stimulating them to become vitally involved
in the pursuit of knowledge and the continuing
use of their intellectual capabilities as responsible
and effective individuals. Students are encouraged
to participate in University decisions involving
their own welfare, impressing upon them the responsibility
inherent in this participation. The University
is conscious of its obligation to the local, state,
and national communities to assist students to
attain the fullest possible knowledge of themselves
in relation to society, and to become enlightened
participants in civic affairs. An ever-present
concern with the problems of a changing society
causes recognition of the Universitys responsibility
to cooperate with local, civic, professional,
and governmental organizations. It inculcates
an awareness of the necessity for effective leadership
in the social, political, and economic affairs
of our society. The University intends to extend
its academic and professional programs to the
highest level by introducing graduate programs
and forming new schools and colleges when appropriate.
New programs will be instituted only after necessary
facilities, library resources, and faculty are
acquired. The University reaches outward to the
international community and encourages a wide
exchange of knowledge and cultural relationships
with other peoples. Relations are maintained with
other colleges and universities, for the purpose
of sharing resources and responsibilities in teaching,
research, and service, in this country and abroad,
as well as with the secondary schools and junior
colleges in this vicinity. The need for continuing
adult education accounts for the public being
offered an opportunity to profit from these intellectual

advancement of knowledge, by involving faculty
and students in teaching, learning and research,
and by offering its services to society commensurate
with its resources, the University will achieve

The Sportspark facility in Norwich, UK has a clever and motivating approach to small group training. The small group training area there went from a nondescript daycare center to the exciting SYNRGY360 Face Off training facility.
June 16, 2015 / Category: Fitness Advisor
The popularity of high intensity interval training (HIIT) has been on the rise for years, and understanding how to successfully implement a HIIT program in your facility is essential. According to ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine), HIIT involves repeated bouts of high intensity work followed by varied lower intense recovery times. The intense work periods are typically performed at or above 80% of the theoretical max heart rate, which should feel "hard or very hard" for the exerciser. And it varies in length from as short as 10 seconds to several minutes long. Recovery periods are usually performed at 40 to 50% estimated max HR, which should feel "very comfortable" to the individual and last the same length, less or more than the intense periods.

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

There's also http://data.stackexchange.com/
There's an ever increasing number of data sets to choose from. These sets are of different sizes, the Stack Overflow one being the largest by far.
On W3Schools you have the "Try it yourself" option where you can make your own queries. It's a very very useful site!
While I was learning SQL, I had saved a small list of usable bookmarks of good sites from which you can execute SQL queries and I'm still keeping this list. Let me share it with you:
You can get an account on apex.oracle.com and run SQL statements there.
You can upload CSV files into tables, then query them through the SQL Workshop. You also get to build Application Express web-apps over the tables if you want.
Try SQL Exercises
You could start with learn stage
Note: I am affiliated with SQL Exercises
Note2: I am affiliated with SQL Tutorial also.
A XAMPP installation is probably the easiest self hosted solution. It is a portable mysql-php-apache on windows application that lets you query a mysql database locally. Because it is portable app, it doesn't require admin rights on your workstation to set up. Really only a self hosted solution will allow you to practice the non -INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE commands, like backup, create db, etc.
Not a web app, but SQLiteman is a GUI interface to the SQLite database engine. You can create database files locally and query them through the application.
FreeSQL looks like something for you, not web based though.

This story was updated at 11:35 a.m. May 3.
A 38-year-old woman and an 18-month-old child were taken to the hospital Thursday after the woman's van flipped over after crashing into a tractor-trailer on Interstate 270.
The driver of the van, Joana Bartolata of Montgomery Village, was traveling north on I-270 near Democracy Boulevard around 4 p.m. when she attempted to change lanes and crashed into the tractor-trailer, said Sgt. Vinson Smith of the Maryland State Police.
When the van flipped, the child was restrained in a car seat, said Asst. Chief Scott Graham of Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services.
Bartolata and the child were taken to Suburban Hospital, both with non-life-threatening injuries, Graham said.
The driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured, Smith said.
All northbound lanes of I-270 except the shoulder were shut down Thursday during the evening's rush hour.
At about 4:30 p.m., traffic was backed up 8.5 miles, according to Alert Montgomery.

Owens Corning celebrates 75 yearsWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
From the shingles on your roof and the cellphone in your hand to the wind turbines and Corvettes you pass on the highway, products containing glass fiber made by Owens Corning (OC) are everywhere.
The Toledo-based Fortune 500 company will celebrate its 75th year in business Oct. 31.
"Throughout its 75 years, Owens Corning and its people have proven to be resourceful, resilient and relentless amid some of history's most trying and triumphant times," said Chairman and CEO Mike Thaman in a statement. "The people who built this company had a revolutionary vision to create fibers from glass. That was the beginning of Owens Corning's legacy of innovation, and now it's our time to carry that vision into the next 75 years."
The company is currently in negotiations with the City of Toledo to remain in its Downtown headquarters for "the foreseeable future," said senior corporate communications leader Matt Schroder. The company's current lease runs through 2015.
In a statement, Schroder called the proposed agreement a tremendous example of a public and private partnership to benefit the entire region, adding that OC looks forward to maintaining jobs and growing employment when appropriate. Toledo City Council still needs to approve the deal.
The company, which employs 15,000 people in 27 countries on five continents, operates in two segments: residential and commercial building materials (primarily roofing and insulation) and composites — glass-fiber reinforcements and engineered materials for thousands of end-use applications in a number of markets.
Most people associate Owens Corning with building materials, not realizing how many other products contain Owens Corning materials, said Byron Hulls, director of market intelligence for composites.
"They don't have an 'Owens Corning Inside' label — although we've talked about it a lot," Hulls said.
Glass fiber reinforcement composites is a $7 billion global market, with more than 40,000 applications markets like transportation, industrial products, consumer products, construction and renewable energy, Hulls said.
He estimated the average North American household contains 100 kilograms of glass fibers, which can be found in insulation, showers, washing machines, cushion vinyl flooring, ceiling tiles, window frames and more.
"A composite just means a combination of two materials where the resulting properties are better than the properties of each individual component," Hulls said.
Materials made with glass fibers are both lighter and stronger than traditional materials like wood, steel or aluminum, smaking cars and boats more fuel-efficient, Hulls said. Fiberglass-reinforced composites also don't rust, making them good for underground pipes and storage tanks.
Renewable energy is a fast-growing field and fiberglass is a key component in wind turbine blades.
"That's come to the forefront as a big market," Hulls said. "Ten years ago, it was almost zero percent and now it's almost 10 percent — 8 percent in 2012 — of that $7 billion glass fiber market globally."
OC is continuously working with clients to develop new applications and improve current ones.
"One of the things with this company is there's always been the ability to find and deliver on future market opportunities," Hulls said. "Our culture creates ways we can identify and communicate those and people are willing to take those risks. That's a great statement about the leadership."
The industry changes so rapidly it's not possible to predict where the company might be in the next five years, much less the next 75.
"It's a really dynamic marketplace. It's actually a lot of fun," Hulls said.
Accidental discovery
With Prohibition and the Great Depression reducing the demand for glass bottles in the early 1930s, the glass industry, including Toledo-based Owens-Illinois (O-I), found itself searching for new markets, said Bill Hamilton, an OC retiree who now serves as the unofficial company historian.
While glass is typically thought of as rigid and brittle, in fiber form it is soft and pliable. A marble approximately one inch in diameter can make more than 1,000 miles of fine glass fibers, yet pound for pound those fibers are stronger than steel, Hamilton said.
O-I didn't invent glass fiber, but it was the first company to develop a method of making it in commercial quantities and create markets for the product, Hamilton said.
The discovery was made by accident. James Slayter, a consultant hired by O-I to develop architectural glass block, had noticed some glass fibers hanging from the roof joists at an Illinois factory. He realized they might make good insulation material, but didn't know an efficient way to make them.
Meanwhile, Dale Kleist, a young employee at a plant in Columbus, was frustrated by attempts to weld two halves of a glass block together.
The tool he was using was producing only fine glass fibers rather than the stream of molten glass he was looking for.
His boss, John H. '"Jack" Thomas, happened to walk by and asked him how it was going.
"Dale said, 'Not very good. All it's making is these fibers,'" Hamilton said. "Jack got kind of wide-eyed, grabbed some and ran out of there like a child with a new toy."
Thomas immediately recognized the fibers as the insulation-quality material Slayter had been looking for.
"That was the discovery that launched the fiberglass business within Owens-Illinois. Later New York-based Corning Glass Works joined them and they worked together," Hamilton said.
On Oct. 31, 1938, the companies founded Owens Corning to focus exclusively on what they called Fiberglas.
Early days
One of the first big breakthroughs for the new company was making insulation for warships during World War II. It also started making airplane parts.
"Lots of materials like aluminum, steel and rubber were scarce during the war years so engineers and designers were more open to using new materials," Hamilton said. "That willingness to try fiberglass as a substitute for other materials was a big boost for Owens Corning in its early days."
After the war, the company moved into home insulation and later the transportation industry, including frames for boats and cars, Hamilton said. It also provided materials used in NASA spacecraft and astronaut suits.
Owens Corning also revolutionized the roofing industry, Hamilton said. When at first the industry balked at OC's new Fiberglas-reinforced shingles, OC set about to change the industry from the inside out.
"Shingles used to be made with an organic felt — it was like very porous thick paper saturated with asphalt. If you didn't totally saturate it, it could absorb moisture and curl up on the roof, which didn't look good and didn't work well," Hamilton said.
"Owens Corning acquired a nationwide company that made shingles and asphalt and started converting them to make shingles with fiberglass reinforcement. Soon the whole industry changed. I don't know what the percentage of fiberglass-to-organic is today, but I have to say it's over 90 percent fiberglass and Owens Corning is the leading manufacturer of roofing shingles today."
The company's flexibility and resiliency has allowed it to "survive and thrive" through ups and downs, including a declaration of bankruptcy in 2000 following a series of asbestos lawsuits. It emerged from bankruptcy on the anniversary of its founding, Oct. 31, 2006.
"A lot of things that might have taken down other companies they managed to overcome and reinvent themselves, but always around the core businesses of glass fibers," Hamilton said. "To still be there making glass fibers 75 years later is pretty impressive."
Special events
OC has several special events planned to mark its 75th anniversary.
On Oct. 28, Thaman and Owens Corning's senior leadership team, along with the Pink Panther mascot, will be at the New York Stock Exchange to ring the closing bell. On Oct. 30, the company will award $10,000 to a retiree volunteer of the year to present to the charity of his or her choice. Also on Oct. 30, OC will host an evening cocktail event for community leaders, nonprofit partners and more. On Oct. 31, Thaman will host a "town hall" event for employees.
Owens Corning reported total sales of nearly $5.2 billion last year. This year's third-quarter earnings report, released Oct. 23, showed net sales of $1.32 billion compared with $1.28 billion during the same period last year, and adjusted earnings of $63 million, an increase of $23 million from the same period last year.
"Today's Owens Corning embodies the same confident vision our founders had in 1938: to create a better tomorrow and to inspire our people to perform at their best every day," Thaman said in a statement. "Owens Corning has many bright years ahead. Our success will continue as we anticipate the needs of our customers and grow our people into tomorrow's leaders. We will meet the needs of the present without compromising the world we leave to the future."

Maya rebuffs Carter's overtures, Wyatt continues to question Quinn about the necklace, and Liam tells Hope what happened in Paris.
At the studio, Carter admits to Maya that the fantasy scenes are getting to him. He doesn't think they can just turn it off when they get off-camera. Maya says kissing him isn't exactly a chore, but it's not her kissing him, it's her character. "Remember that." She tells him she's committed to Rick and he needs to keep his feelings in check. Carter notes the scenes are getting hotter and hotter. She tells him to keep the water cold in his dressing room shower.
At Forrester, Caroline tells Rick about Maya and Carter steaming up the screen. She describes how Maya rubs her hands all over Carter's sexy chest. She thinks it must bother Rick. Caroline starts flirting, and tries to kiss Rick. He takes a call and then reminds Caroline he's with Maya now. Caroline makes a pitch for what a great couple they were. Rick tells Caroline his future is with Maya. Caroline gets a clip from Rafael of the racy scenes and shows Rick. Maya arrives. Caroline says they're watching her fantasy scenes, and then leaves. Rick admits to Maya that he's upset. Maya says it's upsetting her too - it's not what she signed up for. Rick vows to stay supportive.
At the jewelry warehouse, Wyatt's still talking about Hope. Quinn notes they don't run in the same circles as those people. Wyatt wonders what's going on with her. Quinn doesn't think Hope's the right girl for him. He looks at photos online and see Liam's sword necklace - he'd swear it was the same one. Quinn, once again, says it must be a strange coincidence. Wyatt has no idea why Hope's so hung up on Liam - he hopes he stays in Paris.
In Hope's office, Liam tells her he got answers from Steffy. Liam says Steffy sacrificed her happiness for theirs after explaining she can't have children. Hope realizes he loves Steffy even more now for doing this. Hope tells him she needed more from him, and this isn't it. He says he wants a life with her. She complains. "Because Steffy was kind enough to let you go." Hope says she deserves all of him, nothing less and notes he's still wearing his ring. She doesn't want to be together because Steffy thinks it's best. Hope asks him to remove his ring. Liam steps away and slowly does it. When he turns around, Hope's gone.

Does anyone have advice for someone who has a (nervous?) habit to rub/scrape their fingernails together - thereby tearing away parts of the nail and surrounding skin (which is a rabbinic prohibition on shabbat)?

I believe that sometimes with nervous habits such as this one may be able to direct the energy into a more "parve" habit. Its possible that with focus tapping you fingers, perhaps quietly on your legs so as not to disturb others, may help someone not bother with their nails as much.

Muslims thankful for support after arson at mosqueWritten by David Yonke Editor, ToledoFAVS.com | | email@example.com
Toledo-area Muslims are reeling from an arson fire at the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo, but are grateful for an outpouring of support from the local interfaith community.
"All the support we get is very welcome because if you are going through a tragedy and you have a friend who is holding your hand it means a lot," said Dr. S. Zaheer Hasan, a spokesman for the United Muslim Association of Toledo.
Perrysburg Township police said Oct. 2 that a suspect has been arrested and is in custody in Fort Wayne, Ind., for the Sept. 30 arson blaze at the highly visible mosque just south of Toledo. Surveillance footage from the Islamic Center, located at the junction of I-475 and I-75, showed a "person of interest" — a white middle-aged male wearing a camouflage sweatshirt and hat — at the mosque's entrance shortly before the blaze, which was reported about 5 p.m.
Suspect in custody
Det. Sgt. James Gross said Perrysburg Township police and the Ohio State Fire Marshal have identified the individual in custody and are continuing an investigation with help from the FBI and the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Gross did not name the individual but the Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette reported that Randy T. Linn, 52, of Saint Joe, Ind., was arrested at his workplace on Tuesday and was being held at the Allen County Jail until an extradition hearing. He faces charges in Ohio of aggravated burglary, carrying a concealed weapon and two counts of arson.
Mahjabeen Islam, president of the Islamic Center, said the suspect poured gasoline in the center of the main floor where men worship at the mosque. Women pray on the same main floor, but in an area separated by a low divider.
"It was set in the men's prayer area and the sprinklers turned out the fire. There is a lot of water damage from the sprinklers," Islam said. "The Islamic Center is uninhabitable for easily three months."
She said the Islamic Center is making plans for an interfaith prayer session on the mosque's grounds at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 5, the time Muslims normally hold Juma prayers, their main service of the week.
"All the faith communities are invited to come and join us in solidarity," Islam said.
Outpouring of support
The mosque has received many phone calls and emails of support from non-Muslims in the Toledo area, Islam said. The outpouring reminded her of when Toledo Christian radio station YES FM organized a prayer rally at the mosque a week after 9/11. In the wake of 9/11, someone had fired a bullet from the road through one of the mosque's stained-glass windows.
More than 1,500 people of all faiths turned out on Sept. 18, 2001, holding hands as they encircled the Middle Eastern-style mosque and prayed for the safety of those who worship within.
Rev. Steve Anthony, executive director of Toledo Area Ministries, said he and his organization that represents 125 Christian churches and faith-based agencies are outraged by the arson attack and will do what they can to help local Muslims.
"Any attack on a house of worship, no matter what faith, is deplorable and should be condemned," Anthony said. "And there's no room for that in a pluralistic society. We should respect each other's houses of worship.
"I want to be a part of whatever [local Muslims] are doing to support them," he said.
Islam said there is no information yet on a possible motive for the blaze.
"It's difficult to draw a conclusion as to whether it's connected to world events, or a simple case of Islamophobia, or if this is someone who is a pyromaniac," she said. "Unless we find him and talk to him we don't know."
But the damage to her house of worship is heart-rending, she said.
"It's so painful to see. It goes to my heart to see the prayer area where there is now a crater, a black crater."
She said the fire reached high enough to shatter lightbulbs on a chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
"You can smell the gasoline. The main damage is in the prayer area but the rest of the Islamic Center has water damage," Islam said.
There were no services or organized activities taking place at the mosque at the time of the fire, Islam added.
Islam said mosque officials are discussing what they will do until the center is repaired. Insurance officials inspected the building.
Members of the Islamic Center will likely worship under a tent on the mosque grounds as long as the weather permits, according to Islam.
The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life has reported community opposition to 53 mosques and Islamic centers across the United States in the past several years, including one in southwestern Ohio.

I love MMA.
And the best MMA right now can be found (by and large) in the UFC. I like watching Bellator, MFC, WSOF, etc. But the UFC is king. That being said... I hate the obvious cash grab of Fight Pass. I LIKE watching prelims. Now, I can't. Not without shelling out MORE money. That is annoying.
How the hell is Ronda Rousey so esteemed? Seriously? She's a good fighter... no doubt. But I read yesterdays article about how "her striking is the best in MMA" and didn't know if I should laugh... or cry? Rousey will not be champ for long. But never have I seen the UFC SOOO blatantly WANT a person to remain champion... it's unreal. And sadly... it's because the promotion of women's mma... like women's EVERYTHING... is heavily tied to the appearance and relative attractiveness of women. Put simply... Ronda is fairly attractive in a sport that is not overly full of attractive females... so she gets held up as "the best". It's sad really. Because she is a great fighter WITHOUT all the hype/crap.
Dana slamming GSP/AO/other current fighters (Ben Henderson/Rory Mac/etc) is just annoying.
His ongoing hatred of Tito is annoying.
His refusal to sign Ben Askren but his willingness to promote a 4 and 0 Pat Cummins in the co-main event is RIDICULOUS!
And annoying.
I could go on and on and on...
His irrational crusade against internet piracy (Prosecute servers who provide the streams... but fans who watch? that's just lame!)
His either INSANELY NAIVE stance on PEDs (Seriously Dana... if you don't know that the VAST majority of fighters are on something than you have your head crammed up your ass)
Etc. Etc. Etc!!!!
So Yes... the UFC is annoying.
And they are right on the border line of being a Monopoly.
I LOVE the UFC.
Stop gouging fans.
Start paying fighters more.
Stop letting politics and personal vendettas influence fights/signings.
Start behaving like a professional sport please.
If I wanted to watch pseudo drama crap I'd tune in to the WWE.
Just my two cents.
