CONWAY — The official Big South Conference tournament theme is "Myrtle Beach Madness." Perhaps you can relate from your own athletic adventures on the Grand Strand.
You know, sometimes that three-foot putt on the back nine at Goofy Pirate Mini-Golf turns into a nightmare of wavy carpet.
March Madness (and sadness) was on full display Sunday at the HTC Center as Liberty stunned top-seeded Charleston Southern, 87-76, in the Big South championship game.
The Flames, 15-20 after a 1-11 start, won four games over six days in cozy Conway to claim the league's automatic NCAA tournament bid.
The Bucs still have a precious NIT prize earned as Big South regular season champs.
"It's not going to be a show-up game for us," CSU head coach Barclay Radebaugh vowed.
But this was a grand opportunity on the Grand Strand. You never want to be the answer to the "How did a 20-loss team crash the NCAA tournament?" question.
Liberty came in with a mediocre resume, and tired. If the Big South seeded its tournament by overall standings and not division standings, Liberty would have been No. 10.
Saw it coming
Radebaugh saw trouble coming almost two months away.
"I wouldn't want to play them again," he said after the Bucs' 79-75 victory in Lynchburg on Jan. 26.
Reasons: The beat-up Flames were likely to get injured players such as center Joel Vander Pol back, and head coach Dale Layer, formerly of Colorado State, has been around the block.
"I thought they were laying in wait," Radebaugh said. "That's a scary team. They have size, they have length, they have some pretty decent depth, their guards are good, they're strong."
And you gave up on Liberty basketball after Seth Curry transferred to Duke.
A blown NCAA tournament shot always hurts for the seniors, in this case guard Jeremy Sexton and forward Mathiang Muo.
"We had a great shot and a great year," sophomore guard Saah Nimley said. "We wanted to finish it off in style with a Big South championship, but we couldn't do that this year for them."
It's just those two seniors on a young roster built around Nimley and fellow sophomore guard Arlon Harper.
"We're going to the NIT, which is a great, competitive tournament," Harper said. "We'll take a couple days to get over this then we'll get ready for the NIT."
'So proud of them'
Few college basketball programs can match Radebaugh's year-to-year improvement over the last four seasons:
2009: Nine wins
2010: 13
2011: 16
2012: 19
2013: 19, with a Big South regular season title and the accompanying NIT bid.
"We're a really young team and we have a lot of basketball left in us," Radebaugh said. "Not only this year but in years to come. We have almost everybody back. And the best thing about it is, it's a classy group of kids. We haven't had the first problem this year; not the very first problem. I'm so proud of them."
A lot of people come to the Grand Strand and lose, at miniature golf or tournament basketball. Not many have an NIT fallback.

Tonight's Lubbock DFA "Best of the Political Internet 2007″ event went pretty well. A group of us watched a bunch of internet video clips from last year and had a good discussion after each one. Lots of Daily Show and Colbert, for sure. "Don't tase me, bro!" made an appearance, as did a compilation video of Alberto Gonzales' 70+ "I don't recall" statements strung together in one memory-busting blitz. We also watched short clips about many of the current (or currently-dropping-out) presidential candidates and had a thorough discussion of the primaries so far.
It feels good not only to talk to fellow Democrats and digest the current state of things, but also to beef up the memory of our collective consciousness. American culture tends to be "in one ear, out the other," especially when it comes to media. It's important to remember that 2007 was a year when blogging became a big deal (again), that we ran an incompetent crony of an Attorney General out of office (although it took too long to do so), that a roomful of college students did nothing when one of their number was tasered right in front of them, that Republican primary voters cheered as their candidates advocated torture, and that we lived under an Administration that refused to face its own lies and mistakes with a Congress that failed to enforce consequences for those lies and mistakes.
In the end, one of the greatest contributions of the internet will be the ability to revisit our recent history and master it before moving on.

Things I liked:Fits most if not all 1911 GBB pistols, and feels like a quality product
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Make sure that you check the amount of power your gun has because then you should buy a reinforced version. With Co2 GBB you can run into this because of the high pressure and stress put on the parts themselves. For those who do not know, please be sure you lubricate before installation.
Things I liked:Fits my WE pistol and functions the same as the stock loading nozzle.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:If you own a 1911 or Hi-Capa style WE pistol and your loading nozzle breaks, this is what you need.

Need to Know: Redskins rack up yards, not points
Oct 14, 2013, 7:30 AM EDT
Here is what you need to know on this Monday, October 14, six days before the Washington Redskins play the Chicago Bears at FedEx Field.
Nickel coverage
Five notes from the Redskins-Cowboys game:
1. The Cowboys had 213 yards of total offense. In all of the thousands of games in the NFL since 1940, only 63 have seen a team score over 30 points while gaining 213 yards of offense or less. The Redskins have not give up fewer yards to a team that put up 30 on them since 1944.
2. The Redskins rushed for 216 yards in the loss. Only three times since the merger have they run for more yards in a loss.
3. Pierre Garçon had six receptions, giving him 35 for the season. That is the most through five games by a Redskins player since the merger. Santana Moss had 33 in 2005 as did Laveranues Coles in 2003.
4. Alfred Morris' 45-yard touchdown run in the third quarter was the longest run of his career. He now has five touchdowns against Dallas in three games. Only John Riggins (9 in 16 games), Stephen Davis (8 in 10 games) and Terry Allen (7 in 7 games) have more career rushing TD's for the Redskins against the Cowboys.
5. Rob Jackson's interception was his fifth since the start of the 2012 season. That is tied for the most among NFL linebackers in that time span.

- RG3 says team is "close" but "close doesn't do it"
- hailyeah1 - Oct 14, 2013 at 8:27 AM
I might sound like a broken record but with no special teams breakdowns we win at least 19-17 in a nail bitter
Dallas knows they didn't run away with it and it looks like Griffin is back and the defense did play well.
but when the special teams coach gets a penalty for tripping a ref you know it will be another crazy game, only in a rivalry game that can happen!!!

Embassies and Consulates | Glossary | Taxes
Below are listed a variety of resources to guide your stay in the United States and to inform you of the various requirements you may face. Remember, if you have questions, stop by the Office of International Education for further clarification.
The following links should be helpful for you while you are studying in the United States:
Student and Exchange Visitor
Immigration forms and fees
U.S. Department of State: visa information
U.S. Education Guides
U.S.A. Study Guide: International Student Scholarship
International Student Exchange and Study Abroad Resource Center
International Education Financial Aid
U.S. Embassies and Foreign Consulates
U.S. embassies and consulates overseas
Foreign consulates in the U.S.
The OIE recommends that students keep in contact with the consulate of their home country. Some countries require their citizens to register at the local consulate while overseas, while others only recommend it. The OIE encourages you to maintain contact with your consulate and familiarize yourself with their services and programs.
Glossary: Immigration Terminology
Immigration regulations can often appear very complicated, involving unfamiliar terms or concepts. To help you understand the essential rules and regulations which govern your status, the following glossary of terms may be useful.
Completion Date: A student's completion date refers to the date the student completes the requirements for his or her degree program; i.e., it is the date the student finishes the last class, turns in a required thesis or dissertation, or otherwise meets the requirements for the degree. It is not the date of graduation, which may follow the completion date by weeks if not months. F-1 student have 60 days to remain in the U.S. beyond completion of studies to either prepare for departure or begin any authorized practical training.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP): The bureau within the Department of Homeland Security that includes the border patrol, customs service, and inspectors at the U.S. ports of entry.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS): The U.S. government department responsible for most areas of national security, including all areas related to foreign visitors in the U.S. Under its jurisdiction are three bureaus that handle the work previously done by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Foreign students come into contact with DHS at the ports of entry to the United States, through the SEVIS database, and when applying for nonimmigrant benefits, e.g., employment authorization.
Designated School Official (DSO): A Designated School Official (DSO) is an employee or agent of an educational institution who has been authorized by the Department of Homeland Security to verify information about and certify documents for F-1 students.
D/S: An abbreviation used by DHS for "Duration of Status." F-1 students are admitted to the United States for as long as they are full-time students complying with all pertinent regulations. It is not indefinite, however; the period of time reflected on the I-20 in section five or the DS-2019 in section three determines the maximum length of the individual's stay and remains conditional upon the pursuit of full-time study.
Employment Authorization Document (EAD): The laminated card issued by the DHS as proof of valid employment authorization for F-1 students. The EAD indicates the begin and end dates of employment and the type of work permission authorized.
F-1: Most international students at FSU are under this immigration classification, which means they have been admitted to the U.S. for the purpose of full-time study, have demonstrated financial resources for the entire academic program, and have a permanent residence abroad which they have no intention of abandoning.
F-2: The dependent spouse and unmarried minor children of an F-1 student have this immigration classification. F-2 dependents are not permitted to work in the United States under any circumstances. F-2 dependents are also prohibited from full-time study at the post-secondary level.
I-20: Formally known as the I-20 AB, this DHS document is issued by the OIE for individuals abroad to obtain an F-1 visa or to apply for or to maintain F-1 status if they are already in the U.S. The I-20 contains a unique identification number, which is for the student's record in the SEVIS database. The I-20 serves as a primary record of a student's immigration-related actions, such as program extensions and transfers. A student should keep all I-20s ever issued to compile a comprehensive history of F-1 status.
I-94: The small white card also known as the arrival/departure record. It is issued to the student at the port of entry by a DHS officer and removed from the passport when the student leaves the U.S. It is a very important document that verifies a nonimmigrant's legal entry to the U.S., including the date of arrival, the classification of the individual, and the time allowed to remain in the United States. It is the I-94 and not the visa stamp that controls how long someone may remain in the U.S. legally.
I-539 : The I-539 is the application for a change of status within the United States. It is also used to regain legal F-1 status in certain situations, in connection with an application known as reinstatement.
I-765 : The I-765 is an application for the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) card (see above).
Immigrant: An immigrant is a foreign national who intends to establish a permanent residence in the United States. Permanent residency is granted when an immigrant visa is issued or a foreign national undergoes a successful "adjustment of status" application.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE): The bureau within the Department of Homeland Security responsible for the SEVIS database, and intelligence and investigations related to nonimmigrants in the U.S.
INS: The United States Immigration and Naturalization Service was responsible for enforcing the regulations that apply to non-citizens within the United States. These duties now fall under the Department of Homeland Security.
Nonimmigrant : A nonimmigrant is a person who is in the United States temporarily to pursue a specific activity or purpose (e.g., study, travel, business). Most nonimmigrants, including all F-1 students and their dependents, must have an established residence abroad to which they intend to return. There are over fifty classifications of nonimmigrants, each defined according to the primary purpose of stay in the U.S.
Passport: The passport is a formal permit to travel abroad and return to the issuing country. With few exceptions, it is issued by one's country of citizenship. All individuals in F status are required to have a valid passport at all times. It is your responsibility to extend or replace your passport when it expires. Information on renewing your passport is available from your country's consulate in New York City, Boston or embassy in Washington, D.C.
Status: Upon entry to the United States, all individuals are classified based on the documents and reasons they present at the port of entry. Most international students at FSU are in F-1 status. Individuals who do not comply with the regulations governing a given classification are "out of status" and therefore ineligible for certain "benefits" such as employment.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS): The bureau within the Department of Homeland Security responsible for adjudication of applications for benefits filed by nonimmigrants.
Visa: The stamp in a passport serves as an application to enter a given country, in this case the U.S. Visa stamps can only be obtained overseas at U.S. consulates and embassies. The visa does not indicate how long someone can remain in the U.S.
International students and scholars are often surprised to learn they have tax filing obligations while they are present in the United States — even if they did not work in the prior year. Tax filing does not necessarily mean that taxes must be paid. Tax filing is a legal requirement. Please note: The OIE cannot advise on tax issues. Keep copies of all tax forms you file each year.
All those who are in F-1 and F-2 status must file tax forms with the U.S. government, even if they did not work in the United States. Even an F-2 dependent, who is never allowed to work in the U.S., must still file a tax form.
In some cases an individual in F-1 status will receive a refund. And in some cases, an individual in F-1 status will have to pay more taxes to the U.S. government.
The first concepts to understand are: resident vs. non-resident alien (for tax purposes) and Substantial Presence Test (SPT). Whether you are considered a resident or non-resident for tax purposes will determine what tax forms you file with the U.S. government. Those who have F status but are resident tax aliens should seek information and advice from tax professionals such as those who advise U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents (Green card holders).

Junior Seau found dead; police investigation underwayBreaking News, Top Highlights Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012
Former San Diego Chargers star and community legend Junior Seau was found dead Wednesday in his Oceanside home. The U-T reports that Seau died from "an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound," and police are currently investigating his death as a suicide. Seau was 43.
According to the U-T, Seau's girlfriend called the police at 9:35 a.m. Wednesday after returning home from the gym and finding Seau in the bedroom with a gunshot wound to his chest. Junior Seau was pronounced dead by police, and the Medical Examiner's Office expects his autopsy to be completed by Thursday.
Dean Spanos, President of the Chargers organization, released a statement in which he said, "We all lost a friend today." He spoke of Junior Seau as an "icon" of the San Diego community, someone who "transcended" the game of football and represented so much more to the local people.
LGBT Weekly columnist Nicole Murray Ramirez is pictured here with Seau earlier this spring.

A better location for this memorable, compelling exhibit might be the Ohio State House, Governor's office and in Congress.
Those are the people who need to be reminded about the ravages of this disease and the need to find ways to prevent and cure it.
I'm shocked and greatly dismayed that the Plain Dealer would run an article on such an old, long-discredited allegation. I'm not shocked that Josh Mandel would resort to such mud-slinging tactics.
Sherrod Brown has a long established reputation for going above and beyond the call of duty to help working class Americans on issues such as job growth and access to affordable health care. He's worked to ensure uninsured cancer patients have access to treatment and routinely supports essential funding for critical cancer research. His reputation in advancing these causes is impeccable. His work has helped save the lives of thousands of cancer patients and protected the jobs of millions of voters who would otherwise be unemployed.
In stark contrast, Josh Mandel supports none of these causes. Sherrod's impeccable record of caring and compassion speaks for itself, as does Mandel's more questionable one. Like most other Ohioans, I have no qualms in voting for Sherrod Brown.
On January 20, 2009, a group of 12 GOP Congressmen met in a Washington DC restaurant to develop a plan to bring the U.S. Congress to a standstill and block all legislation proposed by President Obama and Dems. They made a conscious choice to stop all legislation that would help with economic recovery, regardless of the damage to the public.
"Show united and unyielding opposition to the president's economic policies."
Rep Kevin McCarthy said,
"We've gotta challenge them on every single bill."
At a time when the U.S. economy was shedding over 750,000 jobs per month, they plotted to deliberately stop any attempts to stimulate the economy, even if it meant shutting the government down. Why? Political gain.
We don't know what could have been done to revitalize the economy in 2009 because these unpatriotic Republican leaders chose to thwart any attempts to help it recover. They had no ideas of their own, their interest was to simply block it for political gain.
Read Robert Draper's new book "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives".
I think we all know where this latest message strategy is going, so let's clear this up right now - keep your hands off Social Security and Medicare.
End the unnecessary and wasteful wars, cut defense spending, make the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share of taxes.
But keep your hands off Social Security and Medicare.
If Kucinich decides to run for Congress in Washington, that's between him and the voters who live in Washington. This isn't Cleveland's business. Northeast Ohio has enough problems of its own without trying to tell another state who to elect. As the old saying goes, its no skin off your nose.
Sounds like a great idea, a great way to cover the uninsured until the ACA becomes effective in 2014. Good job, John!
How embarrassing for Ohio that its governor and GOP legislature are incapable of taking common sense measures to deal with this problem.
Connie is an incredibly talented journalist and writer, the best thing to happen to the Plain Dealer in decades. Her work at this paper will be missed by many. As a fan, I look forward to seeing her move on to bigger and better things.
Those who allege voting fraud are ignoring a key part of the system - provisional ballots. If someone shows up at a polling place whose name is not on the list of registered voters and presents something other than a photo ID, they are allowed to vote on a "provisional" ballot. These votes are not tallied immediately, but are held until their residence and ID can be further verified. If verified, their vote is added for the final count. The same procedure applies for voting by mail.
That's why voting by mail and other systems begin before the election - to allow vetting of the ballots to eliminate the possibility of errors or fraud. Bottom line, if someone is trying to commit fraud, the system will catch them and their vote will not be counted. It's a solid system that works well without unduly inconveniencing voters.
With such a good system in place, one has to wonder if GOP objections to the system are geared towards forcing large numbers of targeted voters into provisional voting in hopes of disenfranchising enough people to trigger close races on election day followed by expensive recounts.
Party operatives should just play fair. Rely on your candidate's platform, experience and message to win votes, not trickery.
Sorry, but we need more than rumors. It would be nice to learn the whole story on this.
Is there a link for this story? Somehow, it doesn't sound as though we're hearing all the facts.
No, he just drinks the booze at the new bar in the Ohio Statehouse.
Ohio didn't say no, Kasich did. Please correct your headline. Don't lay the blame for Kasich's poor judgement on the rest of Ohio.
Thanks for a fabulous story on this historic event! Though I'm not a native Ohioan, I was fascinated to read about this part of Cleveland's history, a real accomplishment during difficult economic times. Cleveland was and still is a great city and keeping this great history alive is an important part of moving forward.
What a poor cartoon, attempting to create false equivalence between right wing Republicans in Congress who created the entire debt mess and Democrats who have a long history of sensible public policy.
Hang tough, Congressional Dems. Cutting Social Security and Medicare simply to preserve endless, unnecessary wars and tax cuts for billionaires is the worst idea in recent history.
Republicans and the Obama WH need to fix the economy and protect & create jobs in the US, or voters will throw them out in 2012.
Lido Shuffle was a great performance not only by Boz, but also drummer Jeff Porcaro. Lowdown, too. RIP Jeff.
Sounds as though the roof was in poor condition. Good preventive maintenance goes a long way. Austerity and "small government" usually have negative consequences.
Very true. This sort of propaganda, disguised as "news", is nothing more than an attempt to make people think high unemployment is inevitable. It makes it easier for the upper 2% of US income earners to lower wages on the lower 98%.
It isn't inevitable and it isn't the "norm". It's just theft.
If businesses want locations with access to water, they should move here to take advantage of our natural resources. Northern Ohio shouldn't be giving away one of its greatest assets so that private profiteers can sell water to companies. Some businesses made the mistake of moving south for cheaper wages only to find they're bereft of water and other resources to support manufacturing.
If you have some proof of voting fraud please provide it. Thanks to computerized vote tallying, its not difficult to detect these days. Please share any instances of voting fraud, otherwise your claims are false.

Spring Training Biking
By Rich Snodsmith in Backroads Staff, Fitness Tips, Hear it. Our Experts., Tips. Tools.
I love cycling and pushing my physical limits, but I'll admit that my training tends to drop off around the holidays. Winter weather hits, I don't eat as healthy as I'd like and social engagements take up most of my weekends. By the time spring rolls around, I want to kick it into high gear to get in shape for my summer cycling season. I start doing my typical after-work loops and venture a bit farther away from home for longer rides on the weekends. But this routine can become…routine. That's why I helped develop Backroads' new Spring Training Biking trips.

I've been lucky in my time as a Backroads leader to have some amazing guests, like Andy Russell. If that name rings a bell, it's because Andy was an NFL star in the 1960s and '70s. It was day three of our trip and Andy and I were riding along a gorgeous stretch of road. Something shiny coming from Andy's handlebars caught my eye, so I took a look: a ring. It looked like a Super Bowl ring. I had to ask…. Andy, who hadn't mentioned anything up to this point, grinned a little grin and told me his story, and what a story it was!
Spinning vs. Cycling
By Alessandro Fusaro in Fitness Tips, Tips. Tools.
Is spinning a good training for a biking trip? Will it make you strong enough to face the demanding hills of the Canary Islands? I was curious about this topic and I tried to investigate a little bit. I eventually found all the answers I was looking for when I met an extraordinary sporty couple: Andrea and Caterina.
Wonderful Windshirt
By Dirk Badenhorst in Gear Reviews, Tips. Tools.
It's 50-something degrees out and you're soaked to the bone. You're on an epic ride and your heart is beating like the bass drum of a metal band–fast. While standing at the top of a gnarly climb, you're sure that the well-deserved descent will be steep and send you screaming past moving cars like they're parked on the side of the road. The only dilemma is that you're dripping sweat, fully kitted out in spandex, and going 45 mph sounds awfully chilly and unpleasant. With hypothermia around the corner, you realize you might have to squeal the brakes all the way back down the mountain. Having a windshirt would have turned this epic fail into an epic win.
Back to Backroads
By Angelisa Espinoza in Hear it. Our Experts., Inside Backroads., Leader Profiles, Our Leaders
It was springtime in northern New Mexico. The snow was melting off the Sangre de Cristo mountain range, the wildflowers were blooming and the bold colors of chiles rojos y verdes adorned my plate night after night. Our first Backroads Santa Fe & Taos walking tour of the season was infused with that ethereal ebullient light that has attracted many to reflect and interpret its artistic form.
Tag Games for Kids
By Beth Herrmann in Activities, Hear it. Our Experts., Our Leaders, See It. Do It.
Backroads Family Trips are packed with fresh air and outdoor activity sure to keep even the most energetic kids entertained. Our on-trip Kid Coordinators love to get kids playing with these fun variations on the classic game of Tag.
Expectations Matter
By Dirk Badenhorst in Active Travel Pitfalls, Hear it. Our Experts., Our Leaders, Tips. Tools.
The wind is blowing in your face, which is usually a pleasant feeling but today it's making the riding one hell of a lot tougher. Your head feels heavy and your eyes are fixed on the tarmac just inches ahead of your front wheel, the beautiful scenery stopped mattering a long time ago. As the sweat drips from your face, you struggle to find your breath and you wonder, "How in the hell was I ever talked into going on an active travel trip?"
High Altitude Health
By Heather Hendrie in Active Travel Pitfalls, Backroads Staff, Hear it. Our Experts., Tips. Tools.
Here's the first thing you should know: how you perform at high altitude can have very little to do with your fitness level. So let yourself off the hook for that one. Of course, being fit and healthy always increases your resilience and helps you recover more quickly from challenges. So it doesn't hurt. Get fit. But don't beat yourself up if you've done all your stair training and still find yourself breathless in Iquitos.
Beat the winter blue...
By Travis Steffens in Activities, Fitness Tips, Hear it. Our Experts., Our Leaders, See It. Do It., Tips. Tools.
The sun's shining, there's a white carpet of snow covering the ground, and the trees are heavy from the latest snowfall. Working up a sweat, I ascend a small hill and drink in the view. As far as I can see, forest covers the landscape…
Tom Hale on fitness
By Tom Hale in Fitness Tips, Hear it. Our Experts., Tips. Tools., Tom's Corner
I used to be pretty serious about the whole competitive running thing. I've run my whole life. And I've run myself into the ground—quite literally. I've had plenty of injuries. Too many, in fact. And those injuries prompted me to develop Tom Hale Total Health.

GeoVisitors plots your visitors to a Google Map - This service allows you plot the last 100 visitors to your site on a Google Map or in Google Earth. The map allows you to filter by continent to take a closer look at individual visitors. All that is required is to paste a few lines of code into your blog or website pages. To test this out, I've put a link to my GeoVisitor map here on Google Maps Mania. Click the following icon in my right side-bar:
Find MySpace users on Google Maps - Here is a nifty search tool that allows you to find out what MySpace bloggers are within a given zipcode. To test it out, try "94112". Clicking on the "people-pins" displays information about that MySpace user. Not only can you search by zipcode, you can narrow it down even further by specifying the age range and gender. Hmm.. sounds a bit like the HotorNot mashup. :)

:After a bit more thinking about NSS and IPC, do we even need that? :I mean for mounting the critical filesystems it is not needed. If we :have a complex backend like LDAP which needs network access, having :a stackable facility in the NS server is enough or alternativly start :a bootstrap version and later update to the "full" NS configuration. :That way libc only needs very basic fall-back functions generating :e.g. some kind of template entry with sprintf(pw_name,"%d",uid) for :getpwuid and the like. The sysop hopefully knows the uid of root if :he spots it with ps ;) Authentication in such a situation is somewhat :different, since login or its backend can get the necessary fall back :support directly, they need to anyway since providing pw_password :via NSS is not really useful, is it? The situation is similiar to :a hosed up /etc, once you got a shell you do not need the uid/gid lookup. : :> :> A bunch of things are coming together all at once, it's kind hard to :> pick and choose what piece of pounce on next! : :It is definitly an interesting month. : :Joerg I think we we need some sort of dirt-simple flatfile access built into libc. There are a number of situations in early boot as well as when you drop into single-user and/or when you are rebooting that we want to retain basic root functionality for. It definitely does not need to implement all the bells and whistles, just enough that a sysop can still do work as root. So, e.g. hard-wiring /etc/group lookups would work but we'd probably still want to parse /etc/master.passwd. One interesting fallout of using the IPC mechanism is that we no longer have to DBM system files. The IPC server's flat file support can load the flat file once and hash it in memory, and then simply check to see if it has been modified. If kqueue() does not already have the ability to detect file modifications we can add that feature (I seem to recall that kqueue does have the ability, or is very close to having the ability). -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Three Law Faculty Members Receive University Merit Awards
April 02, 2012
Elizabeth Léone 4L earned the California Bar Foundation's Rosenthal Bar Exam Scholarship, which supports graduates with financial need entering the legal profession as public interest attorneys.
"As an African American single mother raising two kids in San Francisco, there has never been any question that my legal education would be put to use in the public interest," Léone wrote in her scholarship application.
Léone is one of 15 scholarship recipients who will receive a BARBRI course to prepare for the California Bar Examination, and one of five recipients to receive an additional $2,000 to help defray bar exam expenses.
Before law school, she worked for nearly two decades in nonprofit administration. Léone also spent a year in Kenya producing radio programs on HIV/AIDS and girls' education during which time she briefly visited Sudan schools.
"I came away extremely impressed with how young schoolteachers with almost no funding or other resources, were able to educate hundreds of children in buildings damaged by years of conflict," she said. "The experience left me hungry to take advantage of earning a law degree to help others receive the same options I was fortunate enough to have at home."
As a law student, Léone has worked to promote social justice by assisting Haitians in Miami receive temporary protected status after Haiti's devastating earthquake in 2010; lobbying at the United Nations for education and employment programs to help reduce the economic vulnerability of women and girls; investigating legal mechanisms to protect Cambodian domestic workers in Malaysia; serving as a tenants' rights counselor at the San Francisco Tenants Union; and co-founding the Global Justice Advocacy Program to coordinate student-run projects with local NGOs that specialize in human rights.

Gender Symp: "Rebecca Couch's Pan-Mississippi Journey"
Fri, October 22, 2010 • 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM • GAR 1.102
"Rebecca Couch's Pan-Mississippi Journey"
Peter Weiss will present a talk titled, "Rebecca Couch's Pan-Mississippi Journey." In April of 1841, Rebecca Couch, a free woman of color from Cincinnati, was snatched from the deck of the steamboat Lexington by white deputies and held as property in payment of her former master's debt.
As the story of Rebecca's life unfolds in a Vicksburg courtroom, we hear of an American odyssey that spans three states of the deep South and one of the booming Northwest, follows waterways from the Gulf of Mexico to the Ohio river, and enters communities from an Alabama plantation to a Mississippi riverside tavern to a notorious Cincinnati slum.
Rebecca's multi-state legal battle over the rights — and indeed, the very existence — of black personhood in the antebellum South illuminates both the power and the vulnerability of notions of black citizenship to a society that associates freedom with whiteness.

Gossip Girl Spoiler: Is Chuck Bass Alive — And NOT a Ghost? Photographic Evidence!
Okay, we'll admit it: We don't really think Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) will turn apparition and start haunting his friends on the UES. And clearly you don't either. But it was fun to speculate, right??
We're admitting defeat on the theory now because, well, there's some serious evidence to the contrary. Photos are rollin' in from this week's filming, and there on the streets of NYC is one fantastically dressed gent named Ed Westwick... as Chuck Bass. See what we mean?
Ghosts can't very well communicate on the phone, as far as we know, and they're not likely to take on dog-walking duties either. And even if we could rationalize our way around those two, we're pretty sure nobody would know to grab the door for them, as the fella in the background appears to be doing for C-Bass.
Okay, okay!
As much as we hate to be wrong, we're TOTALLY RELIEVED in this case. Who wanted Chuck Bass to die, for cryin' out loud! And who woulda taken care of Monkey?
Facts are scarce in GG-land these days, but knowing Chuck will be around for the foreseeable future is a good one. Plus, those pink socks are reminding us exactly why we love this guy so much. Gah! LOVE LIVE CHUCK!

Stephen Colbert Is Really Excited About the Apple Watch
Not even Stephen Colbert is immune to the charms of Apple's new wearable. But his reasons might have less to do with "intimate communication directly from your wrist" and more about personal validation: "It's finally cool to wear a calculator watch!" »


text: After last summer's treadmill tricks took OK Go from skilled but secondary power-pop maestros to bonafide InterWeb geniuses, you knew that the follow-up video had to be conceptual coup part deux. So when you see the guys wrapped in ballroom burkas in the "Do Want You Want" clip, just consider it a job well done. It'd be interesting to find out how many times they fell off those motorized two-wheelers, and no, there's no confirmation that the band has changed its name to the Paisley Mummies. In YOUR face, Slipknot – costume rock is back.

After two Bond songs and one adorable, award-winning fall, the Academy Awards are (finally) over. While many of tonight's winners might celebrate by spilling shrimp cocktail and one too many glasses of champagne all over their haute couture, there were plenty of stars who showed up to tonight's shindig already looking like a hot mess.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville's dress was completely ill-fitting, looking as if she had strapped a pair of Playboy bunny ears across her chest, while Oscar winner Anne Hathaway risked getting upstaged by her own nipples (which put on a very strong supporting performance, might we add). We love us some Helena Bonham Carter… we only wish she seemed to enjoy posing in that gown (help her out, Tim!). They can't all be winners, sure, but tonight's show proved many of Hollywood's best and brightest–Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Garner–can suffer from red carpet fatigue, phoning it in with uninspired, ridiculously expensive versions of gowns we saw frenemies wear at our high school prom. Sigh. There's always next year?

Is 'ad-seg' prison confinement inhumane?
In prison terminology, "ad-seg" is shorthand for administrative segregation. What it boils down to is that inmates are held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day and allowed one hour outside their cells for exercise. It's reserved for the worst of the worst — prisoners who have attacked guards or other inmates, run prison gangs, […] [Read More]

Since today is the first day of spring break, I thought it appropriate to share the spring mantel...... before the kids summer break starts!
What's your approach to life these days?
by laura janning
That old clock face looks great. So glad you found that. Have fun this week!ReplyDelete
Love your spring mantel! I cannot wait to start some decorating!ReplyDelete
Absolutely stunning!ReplyDelete
I just love the mantel !!! Subtle, relaxed. Great work. Just down my ally of simple and uncluttered, just like my new life these days. Thanks girl :-)
Very pretty Laura...love the clock face!ReplyDelete
Oh, my Laura! I love this soft-colored mantel! I'm with you on making things simple these days! So happy to see some Bradford Pear blooms. They are one of my very favorite. Nothing here at all... it's been too cold! Hope you have a wonderful and memorable Spring break!ReplyDelete
Fresh and stunning! Simple suits you!

So pretty Laura! I agree that simple is the way to go!!! Enjoy your family this week!~~AngelaReplyDelete
LOVE the clock - hands or not!ReplyDelete
I'm still not in Spring mode. Maybe by May, but since you have tulips I can see why it's sprung at your house.ReplyDelete
Love your Spring mantel. The clock looks great above it and I like your mantel painted white. Hope y'all find some fun things to do this week while your kids are out of school. We're in the same boat. We're not traveling during Spring break (we rarely do) but will do some things locally.ReplyDelete
Laura your mantel looks great!ReplyDelete
Your mantel looks so serene, love colors and accessories you used, all compliment each other. Looks like several people are taking it simpler, good idea, lose some of stress trying to do too many things. At my age (73) I still need to learn to do that. You are being a good example.
The blue flower branches you put in with pear branches look so real, love that they're so petite. Now if I could only find all the ceramic bunnies I got last year and recently. Have no idea where I put them, probably find them after Easter as is usual for me, duh! lol. Hope you're having some gorgeous sunny days.
I love the decorative clock.. I want a 'clock' like that. I keep putting off diy~ing one but every time I see one I cant help but want one.ReplyDelete
Everything you do is simply beautiful! Love the blue and green! The eggs in the nest in the compote are my favorite. Keep sharing your great ideas and thank you for always being so sweet with your comments. Have a great break!ReplyDelete
Oh how I love your mantel. I just couldn't get mine the way I like it. I just don't have a Springy home:( You do , love the clock!ReplyDelete
Love the colors. Yay! Spring is finally here!ReplyDelete
The colours of this are SO beautiful.. I am adoring the nest photo! Sharing on my FB page. :)ReplyDelete
Laura I LOVE the clock, gorgeous color and the mantle is so pretty. Have a great staycation, you guys will have some great times together.
Looks gorgeous Laura! I love the pops of turquoise and I'm swooning over that framed nest picture!ReplyDelete
I just love your spring mantle Laura!ReplyDelete
I did notice the missing picture and that you painted your mantle white. My Spring 'thing" is just to get through the week as easily as possible with a new baby and two little kids and Mom here healing. We did pull the eggs out so I we have some "Easter" here-but that's about it.
Love how sweet and simple you have kept it there, Laura. Enjoy your time with the kids- xo Diana
Hi Laura! Hope you and your family are enjoying your stay-cation. Your spring mantle is so sweet and pretty! That clock is the prettiest I've ever seen -- love the colors and patina -- and you're right, who cares what time it is? Beautiful job on your spring décor, and the mantle looks great in white! Cheers, Catherine (newest subscriber to your blogging adventures!) :)ReplyDelete
Hope you are having great fun with the family this week...your mantel is simply beautiful...what a fantastic clock face....no matter if the hands are missing....as time always stands still when you are with our cuties!!ReplyDelete

Danica Patrick Dating Fellow NASCAR Driver Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.
Danica Patrick's personal life is no longer a secret! The famed NASCAR driver revealed to The AP she and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. are dating, ending widespread speculation about their relationship.
"I have a boyfriend, his name is Richard," Danica said during a telephone interview with AP.
"I think I am just finally excited to tell someone about this," Patrick laughed, sounding almost giddy as she said the two-time Nationwide champion's middle name is Lynn and he prefers she use his first name.
The two waited until the end of Charlotte Motor Speedway's weeklong media tour to reveal that they were in a relationship.
Stenhouse was somewhat of a mentor to the 30-year-old Patrick, who left IndyCar after the 2011 season to make the full-time switch to NASCAR.
"We are dating, and I know there's been a bit of a runaround this week at the media days and poor Ricky got grilled (with questions)," she said.
"It was out of respect to NASCAR, to all the manufacturers, the new cars, the teams, the sponsors, just to allow the news of the day to be about racing and not let anything interfere with that. So, it's Friday now, so that's why we waited until the end of the week to be up front about each other."
Stenhouse confirmed the relationship.
"Yes we are dating," he said. "I don't normally say too much about my private life, always been focused on the track. I didn't want to confirm at media day so that we could keep the focus on the season, the Gen-6 (car), my sponsors and team. That's what it's all about for me."
Danica Patrick remains one of the most renown drivers in racing, even if winning has been a bit difficult.
There was speculation that she was no longer marketable, but sponsor Go Daddy said Patrick be making an appearance in the website domain provider's commercials during the Super Bowl next month.

Blackboard Launches New Client Support Site
[Sept] 20, 2006
Commentary by Stephen Downes
Re: Blackboard Launches New Client Support Site
Meanwhile the old webct.com site seems to be refering all support, download and documentation queries to Blackboard's support site. Fine enough, but when you log in... is there any Webct information in there? WebCT users have just been supplied with a service pack that kills the old WebCT logo, and replaces it with a new "Blackboard learning system CE enterprise license" one. It seems the WebCT name is now dead. [Comment] [Permalink]

The Program continues to receive strong support from Dean of Arts and Sciences, Guillermo Frerreyra, and has also forged new connections with disciplines in the natural sciences, notably the Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences. These connections are fostered through a series of brownbag lunches, guest speakers, academic conferences, and interdisciplinary course offerings. Past conferences, "Beyond the Islands: Extending the Meanings of Caribbean Culture," "Creole Connections: Linking Louisiana and the Caribbean," "After Katrina: Rebuilding Landscapes, Rebuilding Cultures," and "Black Diaspora in the South and the Caribbean" will be followed by this year's gathering, "Rhythmic Rituals of Performance: Revisiting the Past and Realizing the Present in the Gulf South and Circum-Caribbean Musical Discourses" in March of 2008.
Ultimately, our work establishing campus connections will lead to a minor, and then a major field of study for undergraduates at LSU. We are committed to increased study and translation of the major languages of Louisiana and the Caribbean, including French, Spanish, Creole and Pidgin. In our first year we have brought Professor William Ferris of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill here for consultation and for a public lecture on regionalism. The former Director of both the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at Ole Miss, and then the National Endowment for the Humanities, Professor Ferris offered crucial advice and encouragement, and helped us publicize our efforts. Our community of scholars also began to coalesce through a series of Brown Bag lunches organized by Professor Henninger.


text: Rouge Moire Le Vernis ($27.00 for 0.34 fl. oz.) is a medium-dark, cool-toned red with ruby red shimmer and a slightly metallic finish. You can see the threads of metallic ruby shimmer running through the polish, so there are noticeable brush strokes. They weren't as noticeable as they were with Rose Moire, but they were there. The color was opaque with two coats of polish, and the consistency wasn't too thick or too thin. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Black Metal Dahlia (P, $10.00) is much darker. Le Metier de Beaute Dynasty (LE, $10.00) is similar, slightly darker. China Glaze Ahoy (LE, $8.00) is pinker, less metallic. Zoya Blaze (P, $8.00) has a different finish. Butter London Blowing Raspberries (P, $15.00) is a cream. See comparison swatches.

Gender Symp.: "Politics of Identity in the Archives"
Fri, September 21, 2012 • 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM • GAR 4.100
The Department of History's Graduate Symposium on Gender, History, and Sexuality presents:
"Politics of Identity in the Archives"
Politics of Identity in the Archives: Do gender and issues of identity matter in the archives? Do the politics of place impact one's research? Our panel of distinguished History graduate students will grapple with these issues and more at this week's session of the Symposium on Gender, History, and Sexuality. Our panelists, who conduct research in Latin America and Southeast Asia, will speak on issues of race and gender in the archives. They will also share some of the particular challenges they have faced while conducting research in their respective sites and offer helpful advice for how to cope with the unexpected aspects of fieldwork, archival and otherwise. For those of you graduate students who will soon make your first forays into the field, our panelists will also share what they wish they had known before setting out.
The Symposium on Gender, History, and Sexuality has been a fixture in Department of History since 2001, offering a forum for graduate students and faculty to present papers and works-in-progress for discussion in a relaxed and collegial atmosphere.
For more information, please contact Program Coordinators Lady Jane Acquah and Cristina Metz

Like in the Belle Epoque, the ALANDIA Fairy oil painting is framed in a wooden, golden frame. Every picture is a hand painted original! Pictures have to be sent separately. The ultimate ALANDIA Accessory!
This Absinthe spoon has a wormwood leaf on the front. It is available with different finishes (gold is sold out).

Probably the coolest thing I have seen so far at SXSW Interactive this year comes from the labs of Chaotic Moon – a skateboard controlled by the power of thought. Using your mind to control an object is the stuff of science fiction… or at least it was until they let me try out the technology.
The video below shows the whole experience, from the application of the sensors, through a quick training talk from the builders, and then to the experience of riding my mind on the board. It reminds me of Harry Potter's Apparition Lessons at Hogwarts – think yourself into the space where you want to be. in this case William Hurley told me to "think myself into the spot twenty feet in front of me."
And the skateboard took me there.
It's hard to describe just how magical, wonderful, spooky, and downright cool this actually is.
There's a lot of practical applications for this in industry, but right now all I can think is "Mind. Controlled. Skateboard. For. The. Win."
Find out more at Chaotic Moon after the video.
