The College of Prayer MissionOur mission is to mentor, train and equip Christian leaders to reach a lost world through a revived church — both inside and outside the walls. We build "upper room environments" where believers can have a fresh encounter with God.
COP Promo Video
How We Accomplish Our MissionWe own no buildings and pay no salaries; we train leaders. We establish COP campuses where our Bible curriculum of kingdom-advancing principles is taught for three years.
What's the Investment?Because we do not pay for salaries and buildings, an unusually high percentage of gifts go directly to scholarship pastors and Christian leaders at our international campuses.
- $5,000 — Partial Partnership (scholarship for more than 100 Christian leaders)
- $15,000 — Full Partnership (sponsors an entire COP module)
- $50,000 — Continental Partnership (sponsors all COP campuses on a continent)
What's the Return?Your investment provides the following returns:
- Stimulate revival and advance Christ's kingdom among unreached people groups.
- Lead pastors and Christian leaders to a fresh encounter with God.
- Strong Biblical curriculum that can be taught in local churches and workplaces.
- Establish a COP campus that will train leaders for years to come.
Join a Winning TeamThe COP was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation in 1993 with both a Managing Leadership Team and a Board of Directors. Currently we have over 65 campuses worldwide, and expect to have close to 100 by the end of 2011. You can see the exponential growth we are now experiencing.
Action Steps
- Pray. Ask God how He can use your gifts and talents in training leaders through the College of Prayer. The man who had received the five talents brought the other five... "Master, I have gained five more." His master replied, "Well done good and faithful servant." Matthew 25:20-21
- Attend. We would love for you to attend a COP module here in the US. You can register online.
- Invest. There is an open door of opportunity for you to join with us to transform a nation. Select the financial level of Strategic Partnership. you would like to establish. Plan to visit one of our international COP campuses this year to see firsthand the high return on your investment.
- Network. Meet with other business leaders who might also be interested in establishing a Strategic Partnership. Contact us today at today.
- Travel. Visit with us. Teams are facilitating COP campuses every month. We would love to have you join one of these teams.

A new Tomb Raider film is on the way from GK Films, the company that produced Academy Award Best Picture winners The Departed and Argo. Variety reports that Crystal Dynamics is working "closely" with GK Films instead of merely licensing off the rights.
"They are working from this new take that we've given them," Crystal Dynamics studio head Darrell Gallagher said of GK Films. "It's a good partnership. We're seeing the challenges through the same lens."
Gallagher explained that the upcoming Tomb Raider film will not be a continuation of 2001's original Lara Croft: Tomb Raider or the 2003 follow-up Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, both of which starred Angelina Jolie.
"It was important for both of us to have a cohesive version of the franchise," Gallagher said.
It was not mentioned if Jolie will reprise her role as the lethal archaeologist Croft for the upcoming film or if the studio will bring in someone new. Californication actress Camilla Luddington provided the voice work and motion capture for Croft in the latest game.
Tomb Raider was released today for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. For more, check out GameSpot's review.

No ombudsman office can function effectively without cooperation from the communities it serves. Anita and I are truly grateful for the support we receive from Western's staff, faculty and students throughout the University and the Affiliated Colleges. We offer special thanks to those of you who routinely make students aware of our office, by mentioning the office in decision letters, or by encouraging students to seek a second opinion or advice and assistance when a decision disappoints them.
We thank also the parents and friends of students, who are often the first to contact us.
Finally, we thank the members of the Coordinating Committee, now Advisory
Committee, for their thoughtful guidance over the year, and particularly
Professor Marty Westmacott, who served on the Committee from 2000 until
spring 2003. Over the years Marty has been a much valued supporter of
the Ombuds Office, and a true advocate for fairness.

I like to think that I'm somewhat gifted at finding out, or coming up with li'll useful tricks that improve a hacker's workflow and help to optimize the pain-to-awesomeness ratio of our daily tasks. I am, however, thoroughly rotten at leveraging them once they are done. Mind you it's not like I'm the first one…
Meet Oozie's Workflows Oozie is a workflow scheduler for Hadoop, but that's not terribly important right now. What is important is that it defines its workflows using an XML dialect. And as all XML things go, the result is… shall we say, less than easy on the eyes and the typing fingers.
Woe, woe is me. After two years of YAPC, meddling circumstances force me to skip attendance this year. Still, I am extremely pleased to know that Pythian is still sending one of our young Padawans into the fray. Yesterday, he was asking me if I had any tips, survival strategies, or any words of wisdom…
Sometimes, it's humongous revolutions. Most of the time, it's itsy bitsy evolutionary steps. Today's hack definitively sits in the second category, but I have the feeling that it's a little dab of abstraction that is going to provide a lot of itch relief.
DBD::Oracle version 1.57_00 is on its way to CPAN. This release is small, but should make some Win32 users happy:
Wouldn't it be cool to be able to scan your code for all TODOs and FIXMEs and generate GitHub issues out of them? Well, I thought so too, so:
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to flip block and postfix statements with the ease of a single command? Well, I thought so, so I came up with a dirty little script, have a look.
This one was going to be a cry for help and a request to confirm that I'm not going cuckoo, but I think I figured it out. Still, for giggles, hear this:
DBD::Oracle v1.54 is on its way to CPAN. In this iteration, no new feature, but a large amount of bug fixes.
It has come again. This magic time of the year when, in-between the hangovers of Christmas and the hangovers of the New Year bashes, one takes a longing look back at the ending year, and make mad plans, wistful wishes and grandiose resolutions for the new one. So, for a moment, let me indulge in this tradition and let my gaze wander at the distances that stretch forward and behind, while my mind drift back and forth betwixt what has been and what shall be. But gently. 'Cause lemme tell you, that was damn good eggnog (so please be kind and don't click so hard with the mouse, will you?).

ATHENS - The Sanford Stadium scoreboard said the Red team won Georgia's G-Day spring game on Saturday, beating the Black team 13-3.Rennie Curran said he knew better. The real winner of the annual spring game was Georgia's defense, which didn't allow a touchdown until Carlton Thomas scored on a 20-yard run with only 9 seconds remaining. The game matched Georgia's first-string defense, which played for the Black team, against the starting offense, which played for the Red team. When Thomas finally scored in the final seconds, the starters were not on the field for the Black's defense. When the first-string defensive players were on the field, they contained Joe Cox, Caleb King, A.J. Green and the other starters on offense. Defensive end Justin Houston capped his strong spring with four tackles for 26 yards in losses, including three sacks. Bryan Evans had an interception and starting linebackers Curran, Akeem Dent and Darryl Gamble each had two stops. 'I feel we took care of business when we were all out there,' Curran said. Marcus Washington had three sacks for the Red defense. Former quarterback Matthew Stafford, who could be the No. 1 overall pick in this month's NFL draft, and tailback Knowshon Moreno, also expected to be a first-round pick, watched from the sideline as Cox, King and others competed for the vacated starting spots. Cox and the Black team's starting quarterback, Logan Gray, each were hurt by dropped passes. Cox was 9-of-16 passing for 105 yards. Gray was 9-of-13 passing for 91 yards. Freshman Zach Mettenberger, playing behind Cox, was 0-for-3 passing with an interception. Another freshman, Aaron Murray, was 3-of-5 passing for 62 yards, including a 43-yard completion to Marquise Brown. Cox, a senior, used the spring practice to affirm his status as the heavy favorite to replace Stafford. He opened the game by completing a 35-yard pass to Green on a flea-flicker. The other highlight for Cox came in the fourth quarter when the game was tied 3-3. Cox completed a 22-yard pass to tight end Aron White on a third-and-20 play to set up Andrew Jensen's 48-yard field goal that gave the Red a 6-3 lead. 'It definitely wasn't our best offensive day, but we did some good stuff,' Cox said. Cox said he was 'completely comfortable' while playing before the crowd of 42,458 and ESPN national TV audience. 'Joe just has a cool about him,' White said. 'He's a real cool cat.' Thomas, a 5-foot-7, 170-pound freshman from Frostproof, Fla., had eight carries for 59 yards. King had seven carries for 22 yards. Coach Mark Richt said the tailback competition remains 'wide open.' Richard Samuel, who joined King as backups behind Moreno in 2008, missed spring practice with a wrist injury. Redshirt freshman Dontavius Jackson was limited with a knee injury. Walk-on Kalvin Daniels missed time with a shoulder injury, leading coaches to give fullback Fred Munzenmaier some snaps at tailback. Freshman Washaun Ealey will join the depth chart at tailback in preseason practice. 'As of right now, I'd say we would play more than one guy,' Richt said. 'I don't think we'd feature one guy right now. That might change.'

Indonesia's Bakrie Family Gets Bumi Loan Default Notice, FT Says
April 21 (Bloomberg) -- Indonesia's Bakrie family received a default notice from creditors on a $437 million loan after a drop in the shares of London-listed mining company Bumi Plc that guarantee the facility, the Financial Times reported.
Lenders led by Credit Suisse Group AG probably won't demand repayment even if the family fails to increase collateral, the FT reported, citing people familiar with the deal.
The Bakries and Bumi Chairman Samin Tan together own 47.6 percent of Bumi, and the family's financial woes contributed to the company's 60 percent share fall over the past year, the newspaper said.
The shares were also hurt by the ousting last year of Bumi's co-chairman, Nathaniel Rothschild, the FT said.

Cyclist gets home ownership rolling
An Evansville man is spending his summer helping people in another state get into a house.
Instead of participating in an internship or another type of summer job, Neil Broshears, 22, is riding from Providence, R.I., to San Francisco for Bike & Build.
"I've always cycled for me," he said. "This was a way where I could cycle (but) do something productive with it."
- Bike & Build organizes cross-country bike trips to raise funds for affordable housing groups. It has donated $1,144,231 in the past five seasons, with volunteer riders pedaling more than 2.2 million miles.
- This summer, Bike & Build is supporting seven cross-country trips with more than 210 participants.
- For more information on Bike & Build and to read Neil Broshears' blog, go to www.bikeandbuild.org.
Bike & Build lets people who love biking help build homes for the less fortunate. In the past five years, it has raised more than $1.1 million for construction projects, according to its Web site.
Broshears had to raise $4,000, with half going to his needs for the trip and the other half going to building projects.
Broshears is on the cycling team at DePauw University, so training for the ride wasn't a problem, but construction work was a different story. "I just sort of learned on site," he said.
His group of 32 riders left Providence on June 4 after days of orientation and building. By Saturday they were in Colorado, with 2,322 miles of their 4,071-mile trip behind them, having stopped to work at sites on the way. They're due to arrive in San Francisco on Aug. 12.
But even being an experienced cyclist didn't prepare him for some of the conditions he has faced.
The riders become very familiar with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Broshears said.
And by now, the cyclists are used to sleeping anywhere.
The cyclists stay the night in churches, YMCAs and campgrounds. Broshears said they seldom get to stay in a hotel and sleep on real beds.
"It's hard to get a good night's sleep with 31 other people sleeping on the floor next to you," he said.
The cyclists could bring only one duffel bag, have no televisions and limited opportunities for Internet use. Broshears said he doesn't even have his iPod with him.
"I've learned to live on the basics," he said.
Riding 70 to 110 miles a day, Broshears and the other cyclists talk, play games and have little races to pass the time.
A senior biology major at DePauw, he loves the outdoors and is really enjoying the scenery along the route. He's studied abroad, but he hasn't seen many areas of the United States.
"This has sort of opened my eyes to my own country," he said.
He said he won't forget what he's learned from this volunteer experience, which is his first.
While working on a house in Lawrence, Kan., he had the chance to meet the new owner.
"She wanted us to sign her house," he said, laughing. That "brings it home. Instead of 'I'm just hammering nails,' I'm actually doing something for somebody."

How To Fold It is a splendid little book that grew out of the more demanding monograph Geometric Folding Algorithms by E. Demaine and J. O'Rourke. According to the author, both of Demaine and O'Rourke had experience presenting aspects of the material in the monograph at various educational levels — from fifth grade to high school. Both found that the tangibility of the topics made them accessible through physical intuition. The book is — in my view — a very successful attempt to capitalize on the readers' intuition in introducing several beautiful facets of contemporary mathematics.
The book, however, should not be perceived merely as a collection of hands-on activities. The author successfully weaves a synergetic combination of do-it-yourself activities and see-why-it-works theory. The do-it-yourself portions could be performed by middle schoolers; and so might some of the mathematical expositions which never require experience beyond common high school curriculum. The author goes to a considerable length to make the book accessible to a broad audience. Some of the ancillary mathematics — vectors, mathematical induction, triangle inequality, the theorem of the incidence of the angle bisectors in a triangle, convexity — are conveniently framed in blue boxes and stand out to be easily found or skipped, depending on the reader's level.
On the whole, the book is very well illustrated with high quality diagrams and photographs. My only peeve is with the manner the author adopted for denoting valley and mountain folds in the 2D — origami — part of the book. Usually, these are distinguished by the lines drawn with different patterns (dashed, dotted, or a combination). The book makes a distinction by using two different colors — red and green. This is unfortunate. The sad fact is that about 8% of male population are red-green color blind. I, for one, could hardly tell one kind of the folds from the other. From experience, I would be far more comfortable with the lines of different thickness.
The book consists of three parts that deal with folding of objects loosely defined as 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional. The subject of the first is linkages, that of the second origami, while the third part deals with polyhedral nets and related questions. To give a little more extensive description, the first part contains discussions on the reachability region of robot arms, linkages transforming between curved and straight line motions, pantograph and protein folding. The second part takes up flat foldings and the way to produce various shapes with a single straight line cut (after folding of course). Here the reader meets results that are not new but are still not widely known: theorems of Maekawa/Kawasaki/Justin and the hugely entertaining "Shopping Bag" theorem.
The third part starts with a problem posed yet by Albrecht Dürer: does every convex polyhedron have a net? At first glance, the answer to the 500 year old problem seems obvious; O'Rourke explains why it is not — in general. Some families of polyhedra do have nets, though. The author proves that the so-called orthogonal polyhedra — likely the invention of some urban planner — do have nets. The final topic is the folding of polygons into polyhedra. Say, what can you do with the Latin Cross? (The author can fold 23 different shapes: the cube and several of tetrahedra, pentahedra, hexahedra, and octahedra.)
There are three chapters in each of the three parts, each ending with an "Above & Beyond" section that gives a glimpse of deeper or less specialized results. There are also 50 exercises, with complete solutions at the end of the book. The author also highlights a great variety of open problems. As the author observes, the topic of foldings is attractive in that many of its unsolved problems are accessible to the novice and might be solved by just the right clever idea. He'd appreciate being informed if you crack one of them. This you can do through the book's web site http://www.howtofoldit.org/. The site contains videos, some extra material, and a short errata.

She may not have been aware of Shah's butt-grazing, but Chrissy Teigen certainly knows (and is willing to call someone out on) behavior that is unbecoming of a brand ambassador. Once again, the Model Employee is providing a humorous and thoughtful look behind the scenes of life in Las Vegas, as seen on our competition series. To the recap!
Read on for Chrissy's take on the contestants' fourth challenge, including Shah's dramatic meltdown, and the fact that we should never, ever, ever think of separating our M&M's by color–even if it's to make a reference to The Wedding Planner.
Well this episode provided me with yet another line I will be adding to my refrigerator in the form of those silly word magnets: "I can spot a crazy bitch from a mile away, and that's where she can stay," offered up by dear Britany. And that's pretty much the overall theme of this episode.
The girls are given their challenge by moi, as I stand in front of 100 catered hamburgers with my name written on top in ketchup. I ask Doug, Mandalay Bay's head concierge, if that's the craziest request he has ever gotten. OF COURSE NOT. Actually, I am pretty sure I have personally asked Doug in prior stays for things much crazier, but we won't get into that…
The girls are split up into two teams to take on the task of being hotel concierges. They must pick their own leader and Johanna immediately lets it be known that noooo way should she be the leader as she is not good with people and will curse them out. While I appreciate this honestly, I gotta agree with Shah on this one: how are you gonna be a spokesmodel if you're bad with people!? In modeling, you can be as huge of a b–ch as you want; you can't see "b–ch" in photographs. But spokesmodels, your whole world is kissing hands and dealing with people. Probably not the best statement to throw out there, but who am I to talk?
Concierges fascinate me. As I am in hotels most of my life, the concierge kind of becomes my partner in crime in whichever city I'm in. They're like your one-day best friend. Did you know there are actually life concierges you can hire on a yearly basis? Seriously. (Rich people) can buy yearlong memberships to have a luxury concierge cater to all your life's needs. This includes s–t like hunting down this month's impossible-to-find "it-bag" for your wife on your anniversary, dinner reservations at uber-exclusive restaurants, salon appointments, everything. Basically an assistant on steroids.
Anyhoo, the head concierges, who will automatically be the challenge MVPs if their team wins are Aspen and Alexis which I thought was great–both are mothers who cater to the needs of someone else every day, alllllll day. Shudder. I can't even imagine.
Alexis and Aspen are stuck at the desk, fielding outside tasks to their teams and taking on some oddball tasks at their stations. The first of which is separating brown and more colorful M&M's from a couple of dudes. Personally, I would have flipped the bowl of M&M's onto the floor at such a request, only after Googling that the brown ones indeed have the same effing ingredients as the colorful ones so those two guys can kindly stop wasting my time. But, hey, that's why I'm not a concierge. They do it and are completely sweet about it, of course. They're great.
Fun fact: did you know that Van Halen were the first to add such a request to their rider for every show? A giant bowl of M&M's but absolutely no brown ones? This had nothing to do with the fact the brown ones were bothersome in any way, but more about the fact that their show had an extremely intricate production. If band members found brown M&M's, they knew the promoter hadn't fully reviewed the rider or contracts and there could be other problems lurking.
The more you know.

Scoliosis is a spinal condition that affects its alignment. A person with scoliosis has a spine that curves from side to side, often developing in adolescence before puberty, but sometimes occurring in adults as well. Adult scoliosis may also be the progression of an early childhood condition that was not diagnosed or treated before.
Pain from scoliosis may also be related to the muscles that are working overtime to compensate for the curve in the spine.
How We Can Help
We have products that help by providing spinal support, improving posture, relieving pressure on the spine, and soothing sore muscles.

Coating Materials
America's coatings manufacturers have a few requests for President Obama: Cut the red tape on pipeline permits. Expand the allowable compounds in aerosol coatings. Ditch the emissions crackdowns. And ease up on OSHA's "adversarial" approach to business.
Those and a few other issues make up the American Coatings Association's regulatory wish list, written in response to Obama's call for a government-wide review of federal regulations.
In a letter Feb. 10 to Office of Management and Budget director Jacob Lew, ACA president J. Andrew Doyle requests review of "several programs or policies that significantly jeopardize our industry's efforts to contribute to the emerging but still fragile economic recovery."
ACA said it was focusing on regulations "believed to be particularly onerous for the industry, or stumbling blocks for economic and job growth."
The programs touch a wide range of issues from three federal agencies.
U.S. Department of Transportation
In 2009, the Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)'s Special Permits Program was revised to add a requirement for a "fitness" determination by the agency before granting permits. ACA says the change "articulates criteria that appears to be beyond PHMSA's authority and does not articulate what constitutes 'fitness' or a finding of 'unfit.'" Those issues, it says, have created a backlog in new permits and renewals.
ACA requests that PHMSA initiate a rulemaking "to significantly change the fitness criteria for Special Permits and Approvals."
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
ACA has five requests of the EPA.
Aerosol Coatings Regulation
Aerosol coatings are regulated by a rule that establishes air-quality standards that are based upon reactivity principles. Each Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) used in a formula is assigned a "reactivity factor" from the Table of Reactivity Factors in the regulation. However, the table lists only 169 compounds, when potential aerosol compounds number more than 800.
"It is virtually impossible to use a compound that is not on the EPA list, as doing so inevitably deems the product non-compliant with the current standards," ACA contends. This squelches innovation and may even prevent the use of environmentally friendly compounds just because they are not on the list.
ACA says it petitioned EPA more than a year ago to expand the list and has received no reply. The group seeks "a mechanism to add compounds to this list more efficiently."
Boiler MACT
On Wednesday (Feb. 23), EPA issued final Clean Air Act standards for boilers and certain incinerators "that achieve significant public health protections through reductions in toxic air emissions, including mercury and soot." The agency cut the cost of implementation from an earlier proposal it issued last year.
ACA's letter, sent before the rule was issued, said the original proposal would have a significant, direct impact on "paint manufacturers with new boiler operating and compliance costs with resultant impacts on economic recovery and jobs in the industry."
Any proposal "should ensure that the standards are economically feasible and achievable in practice for all manufacturers that operate boilers," ACA said.
ACA could not be reached Thursday for comment on the new rule.
NAAQS for Ozone
EPA's 13-month-old proposal to reduce the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ground-level ozone standard below 75 parts per billion (ppb) is a "far-reaching" proposal that "may prove impossible to meet," ACA contends.
Often, ACA says, "EPA has not fully considered the life-cycle impacts of their proposals, including the potential impact on the efficacy of the reformulated products and their ability to forestall deterioration of our nation's infrastructure."
Tightening the ozone standard should factor in "the health and environmental benefits as well as the economic and infrastructure impacts," says ACA.
Cleaning Product Claims Policy
Another new rule requires that products claiming to clean mold and mildew stains be registered as pesticides under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The rule could affect manufacturers and distributors of cleaning products used in surface preparation, ACA says. The association calls the change a costly and damaging change in longstanding practice.
TSCA Inventory Update Rule
EPA has proposed to amend the Inventory Update Rule (IUR), which collects information on chemical manufacturing, import and processing. The "dramatic departure from current practice" would expand the rule's scope to require more information from raw material suppliers—information that it could no longer protect as confidential business information. ACA opposes the rule.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
"OSHA has recently moved to a more adversarial approach toward business, issuing enforcement notices as a result of employers, in particularly small businesses, seeking to consult with the agency to better understand and comply with existing workplace safety standards," ACA contends.
It believes the approach will discourage businesses from seeking OSHA's help and from cooperating with OSHA. "Instead of deterring engagement with the agency in an effort to protect worker health and safety, OSHA should be focusing on developing incentives," according to ACA.
Noise Proposal
OSHA has temporarily withdrawn a proposal that would have mandated greater use of engineering controls to reduce workplace noise. Many industries, including ACA, want the proposal killed, saying it reverses longstanding practice and had no input from the regulated community.
Injury and Illness Protection Program (I2P2)
OSHA's highest priority, due out in the spring, is a regulation that would mandate a standard for employers' Injury and Illness Prevention Programs (I2P2). ACA says the regulation "will have sweeping ramifications on all aspects of both workplace safety enforcement and the promulgation of new regulations. ACA believes the efforts made by employers operating effective safety and health programs should not be disrupted by this new mandate."

NORCROSS -- Bremen won the tip against Wesleyan and for the first minute of the game, the Blue Devils struggled to get the ball away from midcourt, finally missing a shot and giving Wesleyan its first possession.
By the end of the second minute, the Wolves were up 11-0 and well on their way to a 71-34 win over Bremen in the second round of the Class A state girls basketball tournament. The win advances top-ranked Wesleyan to the state quarterfinals against Darlington at Marietta on Saturday.
But as much as it was an all-around domination from Wesleyan, the first half alone was a showcase and re-emergence for Jordan Frazier.
The senior scored 22 of her game-high 25 points in the first half with nearly half of them coming off her 10 steals. With the score never close, Frazier kept badgering every Bremen player and picking off pass after pass, leading to plenty of open layups. Her 10 steals came four shy of the school record for steals in a game held by Jenny Hall.
"We are a pressing team," Frazier said. "This game it was right on point and the steals were there."
The 25 points were a career high for the Wofford-bound Wolves guard, who hadn't played well during portions of the regular season.
"Ever since the break, my game really hasn't been on point," Frazier said, "but since the first round of the playoffs, my game has gotten back on track, which is good for our team."
She did everything right Tuesday, including grabbing three rebounds despite her 5-foot-4 height. She hit four 3-pointers and was 1 of 1 from the free throw line. Her 14 second-quarter points were almost half of Wesleyan's 30 as the Wolves went from up 27-5 to a lead of 57-13.
Frazier played a part of the shortened third quarter, extolled by fans to go for the steals record, but only came away with her final 3-pointer as Wesleyan eased up its pressure on the Blue Devils.
"I was told by my coach I had three minutes to break the steals record," Frazier said. "I didn't really think about it, so it didn't happen."
By the end of the night, 10 different Wesleyan players scored, but only Frazier broke double figures. Kaelyn Causewell scored eight and grabbed six rebounds, while Katie Frerking, Brittany Stevens and Joshlyn Belcher all scored seven. Stevens' points all came from the free throw line and she and Belcher each added four assists. Holli Wilkins led the Wolves in rebounds with eight to go with her modest four points.
Add that to Frazier's return and Wesleyan cruised back into the quarterfinals.
"This is what it's really about," Frazier said of playoff basketball. "Everybody should give their all, give all they can."

RICHMOND,VA (WWAY) — Senior Brittany Blackwell scored 14 points to lead five Seahawk players in double figures as UNCW defeated Richmond, 63-54, in the first round of the Postseason Women's National Invitation Tournament Thursday at the Robins Center.
In the first meeting between the two former Colonial Athletic Association rivals since the 2000-01 season, the Seahawks improved to 24-8 and advanced to the second round of the Postseason WNIT, where they will face Eastern Michgan Monday at 7 p.m. at Trask Coliseum. Richmond slipped to 18-13 as it saw its season come to a close.
Blackwell highlighted a balanced UNCW attack that finished the game shooting 39.6 percent from the field, highlighted by a 44.4 percent effort from the floor in the final 20 minutes. Senior Martha White, junior Kristen Hanzer, sophomore Jessica Freeman and freshman Alisha Andrews all pitched in 10 points while White added a game-high eight rebounds. Andrews also dished out a game-high six assists and Blackwell tallied four steals as she became the program's single-season steals leader during the contest.
Senior Crystal Goring scored a game-high 17 points and added seven rebounds to lead Richmond, who shot 42.0 percent from the field and held a 32-30 advantage on the glass but was unable to overcome a season-high 31 turnovers. Senior Brittani Shells added 13 points and junior Abby Oliver pitched in 11.
Trailing 28-26 at the start of the second half, the Seahawks benefitted from five Spiders miscues to score 12 of the first 16 points of the frame and build a 38-32 cushion.
The Spiders responded to the UNCW run, using a 6-2 mini-spurt over a 2:25 stretch to pull within two, 40-38.
The Seahawks once again put some distance between themselves and Richmond, scoring eight of 10 points after the Spiders mini-run to push their lead back to eight, 48-40, with 6:50 on the clock.
A pair of free-throws by redshirt junior Samantha Bilney and a layup by freshman Leah Johnson would trim the Seahawks advantage to four, 48-44. UNCW answered the Spiders charge, however, scoring eight of the next 12 points to regain their eight-point cushion, 54-46, at the 3:05 mark of the frame.
The two sides would go almost two minutes without a basket until a three-pointer by Goring with 78 seconds left to play put the Spiders within five, 56-51.
Andews and Hanzer would keep Richmond from drawing any closer, however, as the duo teamed up to score the Seahawks final seven points and give UNCW the nine-point victory.
Earlier in the contest, Richmond opened the game on a 10-0 run and held a 12-3 advantage when a pair of free-throws by Hanzer and back-to-back layups by Blackwell made it a 12-8 contest.
The Spiders tallied six of the next eight points to stretch their advantage back to nine, 18-9, before a pair of free-throws by Hanzer sparked a 14-2 run that lasted more than five minutes and gave the Seahawks their first lead of the game, 23-20.
Richmond responded to the spurt, closing the frame on an 8-3 run, highlighted by a running jumper Shells at final seconds that put the Spiders ahead, 28-26, heading into the halftime break.

Tuesday, May 14, 2013
By Chris Sokoloski
More than 1,000 of the countrys best shooters, plus their families, are in Georgetown County this week for the National Sporting Clays Associations U.S. Open at Back Wood Quail Club.
Tucked away in the Rhems community, the club has been preparing for the tournament for three years. About a mile of new roads, extra shooting stands and stations and trees have been added to the club grounds.
Rick Hemingway grew up on the land and runs the club. His family owns 5,500 acres, and he leases another 10,000 for the club.
He calls shooting clays golf with shotguns.
Last week workers were putting the finishing touches on the property, positioning the more than 200 golf carts that will be used, delivering hundreds of boxes of clay targets to courses, and helping vendors set up to sell their wares.
The club hired an extra 100 people just to work the tournament, according to general manager John Michael Morris.
Back Woods has added three clay courses and 300 launchers for the event and expects to go through more than 1 million targets during the tournament. The club usually goes through 1 million targets in year.
Spaces in Back Woods RV lot sold out quickly so Hemingway and Morris created a second lot in the front yard of a family home on the property. That lot also sold out and theres a waiting list to get spaces.
Tournament participants and vendors have reserved the majority of hotel rooms in Georgetown, and rented at least 24 houses in DeBordeiu, according to Morris. Many are staying as far away as Murrells Inlet, about an hours drive from the club.

The end of the year is a time for the nostalgia of looking back and the excitement of looking forward. Mrs. Hemstreet's Hippos enjoyed writing a KINDERGARTEN MEMORY BOOK in which they wrote about their favorite kindergarten activities. Some students wrote about P.E. Others wrote about Fantastic Fridays and Zero the Hero. They dedicated their book to all of their little brothers and sisters who haven't been to kindergarten yet.
Mr. Galloway's Bunny Bunch wrote FROM LITTLE TO BIG in which they compared their current selves to the babies they once were. After describing how they once slept in cribs and crawled, the Bunny Bunch celebrated abilities like tying shoes, riding bikes, and learning the alphabet.
Ms. Biechman's Sea Turtles were also proud to share their skills. They created a HOW-TO BOOK in which they detailed the steps for taking care of pets, riding scooters, flying kites, and a variety of other activities. Each child chose a topic they felt they understood well enough to explain to others and enjoyed the opportunity to show off what they knew.
Mrs. Toner's Pooh Bears celebrated the arrival of spring by writing poems and producing the 2011 POOH BEAR SPRING POETRY BOOK. The Pooh Bears did their best to make words come alive by using their five senses to describe real animals and plants. They illustrated their poems with technology by choosing a font for the lettering and creating pictures on the computer.
Mrs. Cooper's Koalas are wild about wheels. Their FUN WITH WHEELS book talked about all the different ways they used wheels in their lives. Students wrote about riding to the swimming pool, learning to ride bikes without training wheels, and riding on trains. Some even imagined driving a trash truck or a fighter jet.
The publication of FUN WITH WHEELS, 2011 POOH BEAR SPRING POETRY BOOK, THE SEA TURTLE'S HOW-TO BOOK, FROM BIG TO LITTLE, and THE KINDERGARTEN MEMORY BOOK is part of Nottingham's Exemplary Writing project. Through the Knight Writer project, students write for an authentic purpose, and experience the pleasure of seeing their own words and art in published form. The Nottingham PTA provides the funds for the printing of these magazines, which are produced by grade level and made available online at the Nottingham Elementary School website. Many thanks to the Nottingham PTA!

There is no IT labor shortage in the U.S. There is no dearth of software developers. Instead, this shortage is reinforced through repetitious pronouncements by industry of the impending labor crisis, and is used as outsourcing ammunition. In reality, organizations outsource because of two simple and related factors:

March 31st marks my first day as an Analyst with Burton Group working in the Application Platform Strategies group. To an extent, this is a career change for me. Since I've been in IT, I've worked exclusively on enterprise development projects. Over the years, I've played most roles on the software development team, but my favorite has always been as the guy who gets his hands dirty writing code. Through writing and speaking, I've enjoyed sharing these experiences with others. To this point, however, any writing or speaking I've done has always been an extracurricular activity, making it feel like I've always had two jobs instead of one.
My role as an analyst means I'm no longer a software developer working in the trenches. The reality over the past couple years is that I was working less in the trenches anyway. As I continued to shape and express my software development beliefs, I also began to gravitate more toward leadership roles, though not always intentionally. Whereas I once coded all day every day, I now code only a few hours each week. Instead, I spend more time mentoring developers, evaluating emerging technologies, and guiding teams through the process improvement quagmire. But yes, through it all, I still code even if it's of my own accord.
My new role offers some exciting opportunities. Foremost, I'll be working for a great organization with a stellar reputation. I also feel I have a single job that that combines my passion of technology, software development, and software process with that of my desire to learn and teach. I'm excited for what lies ahead, knowing that I must be careful to remember the important real world lessons I've learned. I intend to continue writing code, hopefully experimenting with new languages, platforms, and tools. I look forward to working with new organizations, and meeting new people.
Since I'm moving onto what feels like a career change, I've also decided to update my web sites (Yes, I love to hack!). First in queue is this blog, which now has a new skin. I'll also be moving content away from my home page and onto this blog. Eventually, the code I write will reside on Google Code. Probably other presently unforeseen changes too. I'm excited about what lies ahead, and my expectations are high.
Filed Under Agile | Leave a Comment
For the past two years, I've been writing The Agile Developer column at Agile Journal. Most of the articles are small focused pieces that share my experience with a specific agile practice. This month's theme is sharing agile successes, so I took the opportunity to traverse back through many of my previous articles and discuss how each of these practices fit into a more complete agile development approach. The Agile Roadmap can serve as a launching pad for those teams new to agile, or as a gap filler for struggling teams.
I'm sure there are some omissions and gaps in coverage - some I know of, others I may not. If you feel strongly about a practice or technique not mentioned in the article, please comment.

Ky. Pro Football Hall of Fame shindig June 20
From the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame …
Golfers are invited to play with some of the NFL's greatest players from Kentucky as the Class of 2014 is inducted into the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame on June 20.
The golf outing will take place at Covered Bridge Golf Club in Sellersburg, Ind., with team entries set at $2,500 and $5,000. All proceeds benefit Kosair Children's Hospital's Congenital Heart Center. To register, call (502) 629-8060.
The Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame celebration will take place at the Brown Theatre in Louisville, June 20, at 7 p.m. Tickets are available for $25 and may be purchased online at www.HelpKosairChildrensHospital.com. Click on "fundraising events."
Lexington businessman Frank Minnifield (Henry Clay High School, University of Louisville, Cleveland Browns) will receive the eighth annual Blanton Collier Award for Integrity, an honor named after the former University of Kentucky and Cleveland Browns coach. The award recognizes individuals who have shown outstanding integrity on and off the field. Minnifield, 54, started and grew a successful home-building business. He was the first African-American executive on the Lexington Chamber of Commerce board of directors and was elected chairman of the University of Louisville board of trustees in 2011.
"Frank Minnifield lives out our father's belief you can accomplish anything so long as you do not care who gets the credit, which explains why he was so surprised to be nominated for this award," said Dr. Kay Collier McLaughlin, daughter of Blanton Collier, speaking on behalf of her family, the Blanton Collier Sportsmanship Group and the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame board. "Frank is a visionary and humanitarian who almost single-handedly created the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame to benefit children in the commonwealth."
The class of 2014 inductees include:
Sherman Lewis of Louisville (Manual High School 1960, Michigan State '64), who coached with the San Francisco 49ers (1983-91), Green Bay Packers (1992-99), Minnesota Vikings (2000-01) and Detroit Lions (2002-04).
Elvis Dumervil of Miami (Miami Jackson H.S. 2002, University of Louisville '05), who played for the Denver Broncos (2006-12) and Baltimore Ravens (2013-present).
Larry Seiple of Allentown, Pa. (William Allen H.S. 1963, University of Kentucky '67), who played and coached with the Miami Dolphins (1967-78), Detroit Lions (1980-84), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1985-86) and Dolphins (1988-2000).
Mark Clayton of Indianapolis (Cathedral H.S. 1979, University of Louisville '83), who played for the Miami Dolphins (1983-92) and Green Bay Packers (1993).
The Centre College team from Danville also will be inducted.
Proceeds from the celebration and golf outing will support the Children's Hospital Foundation, Norton Kosair Children's Hospital and its Brave Hearts, a support group of local families united by their children's fight for life after being born with complex congenital heart defects that require heart surgery.

Video: David's Brisket House, the Jewish Deli Run by Muslims in Brooklyn
Several sandwiches at David's Brisket House have made the pages of Serious Eats, but there's a lot more to this place than brisket three ways. The deli, originally owned by Jewish immigrants from Yemen and Russia, was passed down to a Muslim partner (also from Yemen) during the 1980s. Now it's keeping up the deli tradition—in Bed-Stuy—in a fashion that's quintessentially New York. More


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Vault 13 is the home of the protagonist of Fallout. Construction of Vault 13 began in 2063 and was completed in March 2069. The initial budget for creation of the vault was $400,000,000,000, but that cost ballooned to around $645,000,000,000 by the time of completion. The number of occupants was set at 1000 and the vault was designed to remain closed for 10 years, but due to Vault-Tec's secret population experiments, the vault actually remained closed for 200 years. Vault 13 was powered by a geo-thermal energy reactor and controlled by a Think Machine supercomputer. In addition to its population, the vault contained a complete set of construction equipment, agriculture supplies, water purification technology, enough arms and equipment for 10 people and various entertainment facilities. Due to a shipping mishap, Vault 13 received Vault 8's extra Garden of Eden Creation Kits while Vault 8 received the spare water chips that would necessitate sending the Vault Dweller into the wasteland.FalloutBy 2161, the vault's water chip had begun to degrade. The ability to purify water was essential to the continued survival of the vault's populace, so the Overseer chose the Vault Dweller to journey into the wasteland and find a replacement. After locating Vault 15, the Vault Dweller dispatches word to Vault 13 that there may be a spare water chip in the derelict vault. Following the defeat of the Master's mutant army, the Vault Dweller returns to Vault 13 only to learn that he has been exiled by the Overseer. Some of the members choose to follow the Vault Dweller into the wasteland, while others remain behind with the Overseer. Once the Overseer's knowledge of the Vault-Tec isolation experiment was made public, he was tried and executed for his crimes. While the Vault Dweller and his followers would travel north and found the village of Arroyo, the vault dwellers that remained behind were hesitant to elect another Overseer. They instead chose to barter with the Brotherhood of Steel for a fully-functioning mainframe computer that could run the vault in place of a human being. Fallout 2Investigation of the abandoned Vault 13 by the Chosen One reveals the fate of those left behind. Sometime in 2242, the Enclave opened the vault and kidnapped its remaining inhabitants. Some time later, a group of intelligent deathclaws, trained and bred by the Enclave, found Vault 13 and established a community along with various wasteland humans. Following the Enclave's destruction by the Chosen One, the remaining deathclaw and human residents of both Vault 13 and Arroyo unite and found the hamlet of New Arroyo.

NASA forms unprecedented coalition to search for alien life on exoplanets April 22, 2015 at 2:23 pm
The agency has announced it's bringing together experts from a variety of scientific fields in a new coalition to search for alien life on planets outside our solar system.
We'll find alien life in the next 20 years with our new, awesome telescopes says NASA July 15, 2014 at 10:16 am
In a public meeting with NASA's chief, the agency's top scientists have said that they expect to find alien life within the next 20 years. Unfortunately, for those hoping that Europa or Mars might harbor life, NASA is fairly confident that the discovery of extraterrestrials will probably be outside our Solar System rather than within it. But still, suffice it to say, the discovery of life of any kind outside of Earth's atmosphere would be massive news. Within 20 years, we could finally find out that we're not alone in the universe — and, well, that would change everything.
Alien spotting: By 2020, we'll finally have the ability to locate life-harboring, alien planets November 8, 2013 at 11:49 am
The universe, as you probably know, is almost impossibly large. It is almost 100 billion light years across and consists of of billions of galaxies and trillions of stars. The latest estimate is that there are up to 50 sextillion potentially habitable planets in the universe. Now it's time to go one step further, though: The scientific community is preparing to launch a bevy of new space telescopes that can peer across the universe and tell us how many of those planets actually harbor life.

Nobels were awarded to 10 men and 3 women in 2011; recipients included a trio of female peacemakers lauded for their nonviolent efforts to include women in the peace process, an acclaimed Swedish poet noted for verse described as "active meditations," two economists for their work on the causal relationship between economic policy and macroeconomic variables, and scientists who discovered the acceleration of the expansion of the universe, a new form of matter called quasicrystals, and mechanisms underlying immunity.
Prize for Peace
The 2011 Nobel Prize for Peace was shared by three women: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Leymah Gbowee, both of Liberia, and Tawakkul Karman, of Yemen. In its announcement the Norwegian Nobel Committee said that the three were being honoured "for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in the peace-building work."
Johnson Sirleaf, president of Liberia, was born on Oct. 29, 1938, in Monrovia. She trained in economics in Africa and in the U.S. and received an M.A. degree (1971) from Harvard University. Johnson Sirleaf served as finance minister in the Liberian government, but in the 1980s she was arrested for opposing Liberia's military regime. After a brief period in prison, she spent several years in exile and worked for the World Bank and the UN before returning to Liberia. In 2005 she became the first woman to be elected head of a government in Africa. During her administration she negotiated forgiveness for billions of dollars in foreign debt, and the country enjoyed a period of calm in spite of extreme poverty and high unemployment. In the national elections held on Oct. 11, 2011, she did not win an outright majority of votes. In the November 8 runoff, she was elected to a second term.
Gbowee, born in 1972 in central Liberia, trained as a social worker. She moved to Monrovia in 1990 as the country was entering a long period of civil war. She worked to bridge the gap between Christian and Muslim women and in 2002 began to lead passive protests by women against the brutal regime of Charles Taylor. In 2003 Gbowee and her followers escalated their demands for an end to the civil war, which led to a meeting with Taylor and then to an end to the fighting. She was often credited with having created the conditions leading to the resumption, three years later, of a civilian government under Johnson Sirleaf. Gbowee was the director of Women in Peace and Security Network Africa. Her writings include an autobiography, Mighty Be Our Powers (2011).
Tawakkul Karman was born on Feb. 7, 1979, in Taiz in southern Yemen. A journalist, she came to be known as the "mother of the revolution" and as the "iron woman" for her role in the 2011 protests demanding the resignation of Yemen's president, ʿAli ʿAbdallah Salih. A cofounder of Women Journalists Without Chains, she participated in sit-ins staged in 2007 to oppose the Yemeni government's ban on the media's texting of news alerts. Although she was a member of Islah, the country's Islamist party, Karman challenged some of the restrictions commonly imposed on women, and she stopped wearing the niqab, or face veil, in favour of a headscarf. Living in a tent in the centre of Sanaa in 2011, she became a powerful symbol of the antigovernment protest movement. When Karman was arrested in January, the popular outcry was so great that she was released within a day. She was the first Arab woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
In honouring the three women, the Nobel Committee expressed the hope that the prize would "help to bring an end to the suppression of women that still occurs in many countries, and to realise the great potential for democracy and peace that women can represent." The award to Karman was widely seen as a recognition of the so-called Arab Spring, in which autocratic governments across North Africa and in the Middle East had felt the force of demands for change.

Airlines still need shaming over carry-ons
If we learned nothing else from going to the airport in 2014 it's that, more often than not, U.S. airlines don't seem to care if you bring more than one grossly oversized suitcase as carry-on luggage, as well as half a dozen "personal items," a garment bag and, possibly, a pack mule named Eunice to [Read More]

Sochi's whiny Western journalists need to travel more
Greek archaeologists, apparently, have unearthed new artifacts that prove that in the city of Olympia, Greece, during the first Olympic games in 776 BC, there was a shortage of 600-thread-count sheets, showers were tepid at best and the chariot-shuttle system would take toga-clad journalists to the wrong venues at times. Which means, most likely, they […] [Read More]

Elias from Iceage goes KraftwerkMore on Various Artists
Safe to say, not many people expected the side-project of Elias from Iceage to sound like Kraftwerk being fronted by Ian Curtis. The fact it does is now our second favourite thing about Elias, shortly behind the fact that he once tried to sell bits of his own hair as merchandise.
