St. John USVI Trails: Petroglyphs TrailExcerpted from St. John Off The Beaten Track ©2006 Gerald Singer
In the lower section of the Reef Bay Valley, there is a fresh water pool fed by an intermittently flowing stream called the Living Gut. It is surrounded by large, smooth rocks onto which dozens of drawings and symbols have been carved. These rock carvings, as well as the pool itself, are known as the petroglyphs.
High above the pool a waterfall cascades down a forty-foot cliff where strangler figs and wild orchids have taken root using cracks and crevices in the rock face as footholds.
The fresh water provides an environment for shrimp, frogs, small fish, dragonflies and hummingbirds and at night bats zip back and forth above the pool searching for a cool drink.
The natural moisture of the area promotes lush, tropical vegetation and the ambiance is serene and tranquil. There is an air of magic and spirituality here that undoubtedly inspired the unknown artists who long ago created these carvings.
If you're coming down the Reef Bay Trail from Centerline Road, the Petroglyph Trail will head off to your right at a point 1.6 miles from the trailhead. Coming up from the sugar mill, it is 0.8 miles to the Petroglyph Trail, which will be on your left. From the intersection of the two trails it only requires an easy half-mile walk over flat terrain in order to reach the petroglyphs.
this petroglyph-lined pool lies at the end of a spur off the Reef
Bay Trail. It has become a popular place for hikers to pause
and contemplate their surroundings while enjoying a snack or
picnic lunch.
Although no one knows for certain, the most likely answer to this question is that the petroglyphs were created by the pre-Columbian inhabitants of St. John known as the Taino.
Before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492, and the subsequent annihilation of the native population, the Tainos inhabited the islands surrounding the Caribbean Sea. Archeological excavations, such as the one being conducted at Cinnamon Bay under the direction of National Park Archeologist Ken Wild, have shown that St. John was once a major settlement site of this society.
One characteristic of Taino culture was the carving of petroglyphs in caves and along rivers, streams and rocky coastlines. Petroglyphs have not only been found on St. John, but also on many other islands formerly inhabited by the Taino such as Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, Cuba and the Bahamas.
The designs of the petroglyphs are similar to each other and are artistically comparable to the images found on other Taino artifacts such as on pottery and on carved representations of spiritual beings called zemis.
Professor Gannon reports that this species has been recorded on St. John back in the late 1950s, but not since.

Manhunt (Mass Market Paperbound)
A woman with a talent for numbers, Alexandra Scott wanted to escape the rat race and go someplace where the men outnumber the women. Trading in her Wall Street job and fancy condo for a rundown cabin in the woods. She's now Alaskan Wilderness Woman. It isn't long before she finds exactly what she's looking for: one sexy pilot named Michael Casey. But this confirmed bachelor has no intentions of getting caught in any woman's crosshairs—especially a hunter as appealing as Alex. It'll take skill, determination, and a little romantic persuasion for this big-game hunter to bag her prey.
About the Author
Janet Evanovich is the author of the Stephanie Plum books, including "One for the Money" and "Sizzling Sixteen", and the Diesel & Tucker series, including "Wicked Appetite". Janet studied painting at Douglass College, but that art form never quite fit, and she soon moved on to writing stories. She didn't have instant success: she collected a big box of rejection letters. As she puts it, "When the box was full I burned the whole damn thing, crammed myself into pantyhose and went to work for a temp agency." But after a few months of secretarial work, she managed to sell her first novel for $2,000. She immediately quit her job and started working full-time as a writer. After 12 romance novels, she switched to mystery, and created Stephanie Plum. The rest is history. Janet's favorite exercise is shopping, and her drug of choice is Cheeze Doodles.

Winter Olympics: Five Absurd St. Louis "Sports" We'd Rather Watch Than Curling
See also: The 10 Dumbest "Sports" of the Summer Olympics
2. St. Louis Biathlon
Jon Gitchoff
It's surprising just how boring the winter biathlon is to watch. Yes, it has guns, but the pace is plodding and slow.
A St. Louis biathalon would start with a bracing, polar plunge into Lake St. Louis. After finishing their laps, competitors would then locate the nearest fast-food joint and attempt five perfect Nerf gun assaults on the drive-through.
3.Winter Idiotarod
Jon Gitchoff The Idiotrod is already a ridiculous competition, but adding snow and Nerf guns elevate it to Olympic-caliber ridiculousness.
This event would stay faithful to its St. Louis roots, but with one Olympic twist: Teams would still build elaborately themed, ramshackle racing carts -- but the finish line would lie on the other end of an unplowed residential street covered in black ice.
Style points awarded for competing naked, a la the World Naked Bike Ride. (We'd like to think Vladimir Putin would enjoy the naked Winter Idiotarod. We know he's a fan of partial nudity.)

As a kid, my Mom was a big fan of Dr. Robert Schuller's Hour of Power and his Power of Positive Thinking. Dr. Schuller's lessons stayed with me while I was growing up and I became a "glass is half full" kind of person in nearly everything I do. One of the other things I became was a goal oriented person. Everytime I achieved one goal, I would celebrate briefly and then set a new goal.
Shawn Achor (in the video below) has inspired me to look at goal setting in a slightly different way. Mr. Achor argues that people who are happy are better able to work than those who work and think that should make them happy. Please watch the video and let me know if you agree with my assessment of the video. I'd also like to know if you agree with Mr. Achor's argument about achieving happiness.

How do you monitor performance on nfs.. other than nfsstat? would be usefull if vmstat included nfs mounts..
I just migrated our NFS server(s) from 5.4 to 6.0 - our clients are mainly still 5-STABLE, only few 6-STABLE clients. I saw a few NFS locking problems (lockd starting to spin) with the server while it was still RELENG_5, especially after stating with RELENG_6 clients. This was clearly load dependant (started usually on busy days when the backup was running into daytime). I haven't seen this yet with RELENG_6 servers, but the migration was just one week ago and the backup scheme had been changed also to avoid the problem, so I'm not completely sure here.

50 People Who Matter 2010 | 36. Jacob Zuma [1]
Rainbow warrior.
Rainbow warrior.
by New Statesman [2] Published
Jacob Zuma presides over two countries.
One is the largest economy in Africa, able successfully to host a World Cup costing billions. The other is a country with 25 per cent unemployment, one-third of the population living on less than $2 a day, and deep racial and economic divisions.
Zuma, a Zulu former herdboy and polygamist (soon to acquire a fourth wife), has an increasingly difficult job. Discontent is growing - exemplified by the just-ended public- sector strikes, which were often violent - and the country is still feeling the effects of recession.
Whether the "miracle" of a peaceful, post-apartheid South Africa can continue will depend on his leadership.

"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: Entertainment News
Consumer electronics gadgets such as digital cameras, MP3 music players and mobile phones are often dismissed as "boys' toys" — and this is simply wrong. They are girls' toys, too. In fact, in the United States, women are buying more of them than men. According to America's Consumer Electronics Association, which runs the giant Consumer Electronics Show, women accounted for $55 billion of the $96 billion spent on electronics gear in 2003. In most categories except video games, women have either caught up or are already on top.
The market power of female electronics buyers doesn't seem to have made the impact in the U.K. that it has in the U.S., South Korea and Japan. In the U.K., people who are interested in gadgets still probably think about men's magazines such as T3, Stuff and Boys Toys, rather than the trendier, women-friendly Web sites such as ShinyShiny, Popgadget and GirlsStuff.co.uk. Consumer electronics manufacturers have relatively few products aimed specifically at women, and women may feel patronized if they visit popular electronics shops.
However, Paul Hide from Sony says that in the U.K. last year, 53 percent of the purchasers of electrical and electronics products were men and 47 percent were women, and with products such as DVD players, TV sets and laptop computers, the number of female purchasers was about the same as the male. The market is changing, and the changes could go even further.
If you look at the next generation of American teenagers, ages 13 to 18, girls are already more frequent users of some consumer electronics products than boys. Girls are more likely than boys to use a mobile phone (88 percent to 83 percent), a digital camera (54 percent to 50 percent), a DVD recorder (21 percent to 19 percent) or a satellite radio (24 percent to 18 percent), according to CEA market research into use over the previous 30 days. In most other areas, girls score the same as boys — for using TVs, VCRs, DVDs and PCs — or a little less. Only in video-game consoles (49 percent to 89 percent) and portable MP3 players (18% to 29%) are girls way behind.
Paul Jackson, a principal analyst with Forrester Research, thinks teenagers adopt consumer electronics products, whether they are boys or girls, partly because they have grown up with them. "They don't necessarily see it as technology anymore; they just accept it, like electricity or television." However, he reckons that changes in the nature of the technology have contributed to the shift in focus away from just males.
In the early days, new technology was of particular interest to men because it provided access to productivity tools that were familiar from work — word-processing programs and spreadsheets, for example — and appealed to hobbyist instincts. As the industry developed, emphasis shifted to things with much broader appeal, such as music, entertainment and e-mail. More recently, there have been moves toward areas that appeal strongly to women, such as capturing family memories (with digital cameras) and communications, which takes in instant messaging, mobile phones and camera phones.
In other words, women's interests haven't necessarily changed, but digital technology has finally caught up with them, in forms that are affordable and reasonably easy to use. Portability and wearability have helped a lot. CEA's market research says that "in a reflection of their increasingly mobile lifestyle, teens have particularly embraced electronics products and services that enable them to be and stay on the go." This may change when they get married and settle down, but perhaps not. Women, like teenagers, also have increasingly mobile lifestyles.
Genevieve Bell, an anthropologist and ethnographer who works for Intel in the United States, points out that women may now have a wider range of demands than men because they often have to combine work, running the home and child care — ferrying the kids about. These time-challenged "soccer moms," who have grabbed the attention of American marketing departments, may need their BlackBerrys and mobile devices more than men do.
Manjit Waters, head of O2′s active/mobile portals business, certainly thinks so. She thinks the BlackBerry is, for businesswomen, "the greatest invention" because it lets her do quality work while still being there for her daughter.
But Bell reckons there are still some gender differences. There are some women who are geeks and lots of men who are not geeks, of course. But "there's something about playing around with technology that is distinctly male," says Bell. "Women are more likely to say, 'I don't have time for this.' They need good ease of use, simplicity, reliability, durability. To be adopted, the technology has to take the burden off somewhere else."
Either way, consumer electronics markets have not split along gender lines like, say, wristwatches, and there is lots of overlap. As ShinyShiny's Katie Lee says: "It's not just about women: Things are less geeky and more appealing for everyone. The key is just to make things that are small and look nice, because men like nice, small things as well."
Should consumer electronics manufacturers design things specifically for women? It is a tricky question. Maureen Craig, vice president and chief strategy officer at Red Tettemer, an advertising agency based in Philadelphia, agrees there is "a gender-agnostic teen market," but says: "I don't believe that will hold up when they become adults." Mobile products suit the teen lifestyle — "if you look at what they can use and what they can afford, mobile fits" — but when they get their first apartment, they will have different needs.
Craig thinks there is a market if consumer electronics companies can come up with gadgets that are "tactile and feminine — look at the products you find in the kitchen," she says. "That's not to say you just have to paint it pink: Barbie ain't the answer!"
Clearly, there's more of a fashion element to portable electronics because so many of them are wearable, and disposable. Intel's Bell points out that many girls in Korea and Japan "wear their phones around their necks so they are on display all the time, as a statement of who they are. There are handsets you buy at the jewelry counter!"
This kind of business has driven Asian manufacturers such as Samsung to produce small, cute, clamshell phones that look less like geek gizmos and more like jewelry — and these have also proved popular with European and American women. The ability to change colors by using add-on fascias is also an advantage, since it allows one phone to be matched to different outfits. In Asia, there is also a market for cute, branded gadgets based on characters like Hello Kitty, though this does not seem to have traveled as well.
Jo Twist, science and technology reporter for BBC News Interactive, says she finds the cutesy approach — visible in some displays she saw at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month — somewhat patronizing. Catering for women "is more than just sticking a mirror on a mobile. I tend to steer away from things that are aimed specifically at women, and I couldn't bring myself to buy a Hello Kitty phone," she says. "That's the wrong approach."
What she wants are functional products that are well designed and easy to use, but aimed at a range of people, "not just the main demographic, middle-aged men." She also wants them explained in media that women are comfortable reading, rather than in T3 or Stuff. "If you have to find the gadget in the cleavage, that is bound to put women off."
This is the approach that chimes with the industry. For example, Mike Short, vice president for research and development at O2, the mobile network provider, argues that the appropriate differentiation can be done via content, and via different advertising and marketing channels, rather than by redesigning the product. For example, companies could sell basically the same phone either with access to Disney or Hello Kitty content (which they do in Japan), or with access to Premiership goals. An MP3 player could come preloaded with classical music or rock classics. The same products could also reach different demographic markets by being marketed differently through different types of outlet. The same phone could be sold in bubble wrap in a trendy fashion store such as Gap or by mail order from your pension provider, perhaps differentiated by a spangly red or silver gray fascia.
At Sony, the largest consumer electronics company, Paul Hide says: "We have some products, like portable audio, that come in a range of colors, but they are not specifically aimed at women. We are trying to be gender neutral. But we are moving away from 'technology buyer' messages to 'lifestyle' advertising. The days of us selling a lot of technology because it was high technology have long gone. On its own, being a technology leader is not enough: There has to be more to it than that."
Bell says that catering nonspecifically for women "is part of a larger move for companies like Intel. It is not just a matter of paying attention to women but paying attention to older people, to the developing world and a range of other groups."
In other words, consumer electronics companies are not switching from catering for men to catering for women. There will always be some products targeted at specific groups, but the general idea is to switch from catering for geeky men to catering for everyone. That must be a good thing.

Machine Head rip off... Or something?
Alright... I'm totally confused here. This is just Machine Head's Clenching The Fists Of Dissent! But, it's not? Apparently it's the soundtrack from some game released in 2004... Just listen to it...
If you're not familiar with Machine Head's song, it's here...
Does it make sense to anyone else?
Re: Machine Head rip off... Or something?
Re: Machine Head rip off... Or something?
I'd assume the game really wanted the song, but were unable to license the actual track.
So they had a note for note cover made, and just paid the publishing rights.

Language :
Often detected at the back of the tongue. Chicory or dark chocolate and cocoa deliver quite characteristic bitter tastes. Bitterness is vital - it allows the taste of coffee to linger in the mouth.
At Nespresso, we are committed to producing the highest quality coffee. Numerous quality control tests are carried out at more than six key stages, from the selection of the green coffee in the producing country to the release of the Nespresso capsules from the factory/production site. At each stage of the entire production process of roasting, grinding and then sealing into capsules, the coffee undergoes both sensory, physical and chemical quality control tests. Nothing is left to chance.
The Nespresso machine's high pressure extraction system, combined with the freshness and quality of the coffee, naturally produce a thick, smooth crema. Once prepared, the espresso continues to develop. Floral flavours tend to come out first, whereas others, including the heavier, more roasted aromas, are slower to emerge. The crema is essential for releasing and protecting these aromas. Immediately after its extraction, the crema, which naturally forms from liquid coffee and air, stimulates the release of aromas from the cup. Once it has settled, the crema's role reverses as it forms a coffee "cover" and prevents the most volatile aromas from escaping. The quality of the crema provides an important first impression of your espresso, and naturally influences the way you perceive it, by whetting your appetite before tasting.
This method consists of drying the pulp and the skin of the cherry to get a dry bean easy to deparch or hull. The green coffee produced is called "natural" or "unwashed".
Espresso technology was created in Italy in 1903 when Luigi Bezzera, wishing to extract coffee more quickly, invented the principle of "high-pressure percolation". The name "espresso" therefore comes from the Italian word "esprimere", meaning to express. Preparing a genuine espresso consists of forcing water at high pressure through finely ground coffee to extract it's true essence very quickly. Espresso is therefore not just a coffee name or a cup size. It is recognisable primarily by the density of its body, the richness of its aromas, a lingering presence on the palate and the thickness of the "crema", generated by the high-pressure extraction.
This term designates the coffee beans after processing and prior to roasting. It is in this form that the coffee is shipped to coffee merchants like Nespresso.
Operation that consists of "toasting" the green coffee beans and enables the coffee flavours and 900 aromas to develop. Roasting is carried out prior to grinding.
With the wet method of processing coffee, the cherries are first washed and seperated. Then only the ripe fruits have their pulp and mucilage removed before being washed and dried. The green coffee produced is called "washed".

Home. Some pets never have one to call their own. We'd like to help change that by introducing you to an extraordinary adoptable pet every week. Today, we bring you Angis, a sweet pup who steals scenes on next week's episode of The Bachelor.
This season's suitor, Juan Pablo Galavis, is looking for true love – and so is Angis. The 3-year-old pops up on Monday night's episode, which takes the eligible Venezuelan on a group date where he poses in photos with adoptable dogs from Best Friends Animal Society's Los Angeles pet adoption center.
If you happen to see Angis on The Bachelor, then you're probably his ideal owner. The French Brittany spaniel is mellow and the perfect companion for someone who loves camping out on the couch to watch TV.
"He is very happy to hang out with you while you watch a movie or play on your computer," reads a message from his foster mom on the National Brittany Rescue and Adoption Network website.
Already a pro at commands like "sit," "come," and "down," Angis is a quick learner and wants nothing more than to please people.

Apparently there are too many geek guys and not enough GirlGeeks. Some people have tried to reconcile this unfortunate situation with Geeks and Girls Humour. However, a SlashDot post refered to a study that claimed Girls Don't Want To Be Geeks!
"According to a study by the American Association of University Women, 'Girls have the ability to learn and use computers, but they are turned off by technical careers that they view as full of geeky guys'. The study blames the general sentiment on a gender imbalance in access to computers, and on social pressures that steer girls away from technology."

Hi all,
I came across an excellent (and free!) piece of software here;
It is a real-time generative composer and mixer, designed for live performance of midi information, and after only a couple of days messing around I can promise you that it is quite superb.
It will work on a standard soundcard with the expected limitations that such a device will offer, but I have it powering a Roland XV-2020 and hey presto! sounds like 808 all over the place!
Don't worry if you can't play a note as the generative engine takes care of everything, from the break-beats to the synth-lines, and all you need to do is just tweak the filters or chop up the beats and melodies in real-time.
The best fun I have had in ages!

If you're over age 50 and haven't had a colon cancer check, you're not alone. A whopping 23 million Americans have never had a proper test for this killer, a sobering new report reveals. This is one club you don't want to be a member of.
Here's how to get out, and save your life.
Colorectal cancer claims 50,000 lives annually. But 60 percent of these deaths could be prevented if tiny growths on the lining of the intestines, called polyps, were spotted and removed during a colonoscopy. Most polyps are either non- or precancerous or in early stages of gastrointestinal cancer.
Colonoscopy, the gold-standard gut-check, is recommended when you hit age 50 (younger if this cancer runs in your family) and every 10 years after that if no problems are seen.
But a third of you have never had any kind of colon cancer screening. And we sympathize; they're intrusive and scary (both of us had polyps removed at age 50 during a simple colonoscopy), but battling advanced colon cancer is a whole lot more frightening.
So, here's how to get past common fears that may be keeping you from getting a life-saving colon check.
Fear No. 1: It'll hurt.
Fact: Most, if not all, colonoscopies are done under mild sedation using the drugs fentanyl and/or midazolam. You'll feel nothing as you go into in a light sleep. Your privacy, modesty and dignity get plenty of respect, too.
Fear No. 2: Bowel prep is pain in the ...
Fact: Your doc needs to see every inch of your colon, without an obstructed view. At best, incomplete prep boosts your odds for a do-do-over; at worst, it ups the risk for undetected polyps and missed cancers. Sure, the prep may keep you home for a while, but try to schedule your colonoscopy for a Monday morning; then you can spend Sunday around the house.
Fear No. 3: I'm scared they'll find something.
Fact: Colon polyps are super-common, 30 percent to 50 percent of adults have at least one; less than 10 percent are precancerous. If you've got a polyp, finding it and having it removed during your colonoscopy is the best thing that can happen to you.
Fear No. 4: Colon cancer runs in my family. I'm afraid I'll find out I have it, too.
Fact: If a close relative (mom, dad, sister, brother or child) had colon cancer, that boosts your risk by 35 percent to 70 percent. Your doc should advise you to start having colon checks at age 40.
If any close relative were diagnosed before age 44, then you should begin getting colonoscopies five years before the age he or she was diagnosed.
Also, ask about having those earlier checks if more distant relatives (aunt, uncle, cousin or grandparent) were affected. One new report says waiting until age 50 could miss 10 percent of early cancers in this population. If you have colon cancer, you want to know now, not later when it's harder to successfully treat.
Fear No. 5: I can't afford it.
Fact: About one in four people who skip colon checks have no insurance. But thanks to changes in federal health laws, more insurance policies will cover the costs (with no co-pay, thanks to the Affordable Care Act) in 2014. In addition, the federal Colorectal Cancer Control Program could help pay for yours. Learn more at www.cdc.gov/cancer/crccp.
If you can't handle the procedure, you do have options even if they aren't the gold standard.
Your best option is a high-tech, at-home test. The latest at-home colon-cancer check, the fecal immunochemical test (FIT), sleuths for blood hidden in stool, a warning sign for polyps.
Just take a sample from two bowel movements and get 'em to your doc or lab pronto. There is no prep, it's cheap (about $22 per test) and nearly as accurate as a colonoscopy, but you need to do it every year. If blood is found, then you'll need a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy (a scan of the large intestine).

"Of all who give and recieve gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the wisest. They are the magi."- Discuss with close reference to the story "The Gift of Magi" by O. Henry.
1 Answer | Add Yours
The point of the quote is that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
On the surface of the story, Jim and Della seem very unwise by selling what was most precious to them to give it away to another person who could not use it. From an economical point of view it is foolish. From a social point of view it is foolish as well. However, from a loving and spiritual perspective it is wise.
In the end of the story, Jim and Della are so happy. They are filled with joy, because their love showed in what they gave. Moreover, giving they were able to see the expression on each other faces. This was priceless for them.

Russia's answer to the latest turbofan engines for single-aisle aircraft from CFM International and Pratt & Whitney was on public display for the first time at the MAKS air show.
Engine manufacturer Aviadvigatel unveiled the technology demonstrator - bearing serial number 100-01 - of the PD-14, the proposed alternate powerplant for Irkut's in-development MC-21 narrowbody.
Although Aviadvigatel has previously displayed scaled mock-ups of the engine, the MAKS show marks the first time the manufacturer has shown off the real example of Russia's latest engine technology.
The engine was displayed with a 1.9m (75in)-diameter inlet fan composed of 18 blades made from a titanium alloy. The fan diameter provides a bypass ratio of 8.5:1, which is significantly larger compared with previous Russian engines, but still slightly below the 10:1 bypass ratio achieved by the CFM Leap-1A or the 12:1 ratio of Pratt & Whitney's PW1400G.
The latter is the baseline engine selected by Irkut to power the MC-21 at service entry in 2017, but the PD-14 is being pursued as an indigenous option.
Aviadvigatel acknowledges the PD-14 would also provide a new core that could be developed into an engine it calls the PD-18R, which would feature a fan-drive gear system similar to the PW1400G.
Although the PD-14 display at MAKS revealed that Aviadvigatel has not yet adopted CFM's composite fan blade technology, the Russian manufacturer is catching up in other ways.
The first-stage high-pressure turbine of the Russian engine was shown with 3D aerodynamic shaping and advanced interior cooling channels, which are hallmarks of all modern Western engine designs.

Senior Ashley Wanninger tied her career high with five three-pointers
Jan. 8, 2014
CINCINNATI - The Xavier women's basketball squad led by senior Ashley Wanninger's (Cincinnati, Ohio/Colerain) career-high 26 points and a strong first half earned its second win in BIG EAST play defeating Georgetown Wednesday night at Cintas Center, 85-68.
XU improved to 7-8 on the year (2-1 BIG EAST), while Georgetown's lost its sixth straight game and fell to 6-9 overall (0-3 BIG EAST).
The Blue and White, who entered the contest ranked fourth in the conference in three-point field goals per game (6.3), hit 9-of-21 shots from behind the arc.
Wanninger scored a team-high and career-high 26 points and grabbed four rebounds to lead the Musketeers to their second BIG EAST win on the year. Sophomore Jenna Crittendon (Union, Ky./Ryle) finished with 13 points and five rebounds. Sophomore Briana Glover (Mason, Ohio/Mason) went 4-of-6 from the field to score 11 points. Freshmen Kayla Davis (Brampton, Ontario/St. Marguerite d'Youville) and Maddison Blackwell (Gahanna, Ohio/Lincoln HS) each added 10 points to round out the top scorers for XU. Blackwell also grabbed a team-high six boards.
Andrea White had a team-high 16 points and six rebounds for the Hoyas. Natalie Butler, the BIG EAST leader in rebounds per game (12.7), finished with 20 boards and 14 points. Butler's performance marked the second time the freshman grabbed 20+ rebounds in a game (season-high is 21 against UAA).
Xavier could not have asked for a better first half. XU started off the half shooting 6-of-7 from beyond the three point arc. Wanninger finished the first half with 19 points, going 6-of-10 from the field and tying her career high for three-pointers made shooting 5-of-7 from three. The Musketeers used runs of 17-2 and 13-2 to grab an early 24-point lead over the Hoyas and score its highest point total in one half on the season with 48 (previous was 47 against Ohio on November 10). Georgetown answered late with a 9-0 run of its own, holding XU scoreless for the last 2:23 and going into the locker room down by 15 points, 48-33.
The second half was a closer contest for both teams (37-35 in favor of XU). Georgetown went on a 7-0 run and came within 10 of the Musketeers after Andrea White made two free throws for the Hoyas with 7:31 left in the game, but the consistent play of the Musketeers proved too much for the Hoyas and XU picked up another win as a new member of the BIG EAST.
Xavier will end its three-game BIG EAST home stand taking on Marquette Saturday (Jan. 11). The game is set to tipoff at 2:00 P.M.

The Hartford Foundation was instrumental in the creation of Hartford Community Schools (HCS),
offering insights and lessons learned from our long-running After-School
schools are based on one fundamental premise — that every child and every
school is capable of excellence given the right conditions for learning. The
community schools strategy engages community leaders in collective action to
remove barriers to students' success and address the opportunity gaps often
reflected in low-income students' academic and developmental outcomes.
The schools offer students services before, during, and after traditional school hours and during the weekend and summer, extending students' total learning time by 35-40 percent. In this way, community schools substantially improve schools' capacity to meet the highest-need students and families' most pressing concerns. The community schools model also supports a school culture and climate that promotes high expectations for students, teachers, families, and the surrounding community.
schools integrate multiple services and supports
At the service site/school level - we connect
community resources (such as universities and health centers) to select schools
in ways that support student achievement and family stability;
At the "systems level" - we promote public/private partnership as well as
structural, procedural, and operational shifts at school sites and at the
district level, to increase low-income students and families' access to
high-quality educational and developmental opportunities;
At the policy level – we support policy change, addressing barriers to student
success and increasing low-income students' access to opportunity.
The Foundation
supported the first group of five Hartford Community Schools with a three-year,
$3.1 million grant. In 2011 and 2012, that commitment was renewed and more than
$1.6 million was awarded in grants to six lead agencies working in partnership
with the schools in 2012.
Community Schools are a partnership of:

Popular Cartoon Network programme Regular Show has had its first official video game, with the lazy groundskeepers Mordecai and Rigby starring in the very aptly-named Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-bit Land for Nintendo 3DS. Developed by WayForward, which has a number of solid titles under its belt now, fans of the show will be hoping for a good game to kick-start the Blue Jay and raccoon's gaming adventures.
Going off of WayForward's recent past record, good things could safely have been expected with its handling of this game. It's actually very surprising, then, that Mordecai and Rigby in 8-bit Land unfortunately delivers some of the most frustrating and poor level design in the 2D platformer genre on the 3DS.
In its simplest terms, there are 20 levels to work through; four worlds with five stages each, with the last one always being a boss encounter. Four worlds mean four different themes, but they are far too bland and forgettable; it's difficult to pick out any specific levels that offer any stand-out and fun experiences. When 8-bit Land tries to produce something different, it ends up feeling out of place and infuriating.
Take Worlds 2 and 3, for example. The normal procedure thus far was that of a typical 2D platformer; run along and jump on bad guys' heads. World 2 introduces the ability to switch to a spaceship akin to an Arwing upon crossing in front of a space-like background. At this moment, the game becomes a side-scrolling shooter; which is fine for the most part. The issue comes in the need to switch back and forth between normal character and ship, which produces difficulties at many points in the game in trying to reach certain platforms.
World 3 brings in another type of gameplay when jumping in front of a more plain-looking grey background; that of a top-down shooting game, that could probably be likened to the style of classic games Time Pilot or Zombies Ate My Neighbours. World 4 goes a step further to then meld all of the platforming, side-scrolling shooting and top-down shooting into the same levels, where these attempts to deliver unique and fun gameplay end up becoming extremely maddening means to reaching the end. The necessity to switch between each one by hitting either shoulder button at the right moment in some of the more convoluted areas surrounded by enemies rarely is a pleasantly safe transition.
Even sadder is that the actual main 2D platforming segments don't come out to high standards. Hit detection is very poor, where jumps on top of enemies that should defeat them end up doing the very opposite and killing Mordecai or Rigby instead. From the very early instance that this becomes apparent, it's then a constant worrisome trek through the entire rest of the game because it is never a sure-fire guarantee that a bob on the head of a bad guy will actually connect. More irritating is that this is practically a one-hit game, and is certainly not very appealing for the younger audience that would be more inclined to picking this up due to their fondness for the TV series. 8-bit Land is hard, and whilst that may in part be paying homage to classic games from the NES days, rarely does it feel like the player has ever accomplished something after eventually completing a level; it's more of a relief that the trying and stressful parts are over with.
This is without even going into the final boss of the game. Again, whilst it may be a throwback to retro games and their insane difficulties back then, this one was far from a boss worth enduring for the length of time and retries that it took. With just one hit to live on throughout every boss encounter, it's hard to see how many would tolerate it.
On top of that, numerous glitches occurred during the adventure, including one that happened in the final boss that forced a quit to the level map, thus giving up the midway checkpoint of said boss and having to start from the beginning again. Imagine how that must have felt after already somehow making it to the midway point in the first place. A checkpoint at all was welcome, though… and quite surprising given everything that had gone before reaching the end of the game.
One-hit deaths and the very unreliable hit detection mean the majority of the game is spent trying to jump high and over every enemy, instead of on top of them. The total gameplay style changes during platforming and the need to constantly switch between them in many levels feels out of place and isn't implemented well; standalone stages for each may have worked better. Levels feel too much like a mish-mash of ideas that come across as poorly designed and uninspiring.
Incredibly bland and nowhere near the standard expected of WayForward after gorgeous games like A Boy and His Blob and Mighty Switch Force. From the stages to the enemies, everything is forgettable. It isn't always clear which platforms can be jumped on or which are in the foreground or not, as well as it sometimes not being easy to see the areas that allow for switching the gameplay style. A number of glitches happen frequently; normally upon collisions with enemies, causing oddities to occur.
Much like the graphics, nothing stands out, which is again unusual, and the variety of tunes is thin on the ground with the same track used for every stage in the current world. In its attempts to sound like an 8-bit game, there are too many loud beeps and crackles that aren't very pleasant on the ears.
About three hours to get through the 20 difficult levels on offer, with a New Game+ option unlocking afterwards that makes enemies and bosses stronger… However, by the time the game is completed the first time round, it's unlikely to warrant another go again.
There may be many fans of the show interested in Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-bit Land, but it will undoubtedly come as a real disappointment to them. Lacking in fun and memorable level design, being far too difficult for its own good and plagued with glitches, it's difficult to find a reason to part with the cash for this. Not a good start for Mordecai and Rigby's first video game.

Perry insists South Carolina primary is not his Alamo
Polls are showing that Rick Perry may be running low on ammunition in what could be his last stand in the GOP presidential primary contest. But the Texas conservative is flatly rejecting any suggestion that his fight to survive in South Carolina's first-in-the-south primary on Saturday is anything like Texans' last stand at the Alamo.

If you are planning to use your Berry financial aid while studying abroad, you must have been approved by the International Programs Committee to study abroad on a Berry-approved program, paid your non-refundable $500 tuition deposit, be registered at Berry during your study abroad semester and attend all orientations. During pre-registration the semester prior to departure, International Programs will send you an authorization form to register for STA 305. Simply sign this form, have your academic adviser sign it and submit it at the Registrar's window. Once registered, your course load will be listed at 12 hours. Do not worry if you will actually be taking more than 12 hours - once Berry receives your transcript, the Registrar will list the exact course names and credit hours you earned onto Viking Web. If you complete more than 18 credit hours, you will be charged an overload for each hour above 18.
If planning to study abroad transient, Berry institutional aid will not apply to your study abroad program, and you will pay the program directly. You must complete a transient form with all required signatures before leaving campus. Failure to submit this form prior to the study abroad semester will result in loss of credit. Be sure to consult the Berry catalog on transient policies -- a specific number of upper-level hours in the major and minor must be completed in residence.
Students must have host institution courses approved by Berry College department Chairs, school Deans and in some cases the Provost before studying abroad. Students studying abroad through Berry complete the course substitution form, which you receive from the International Programs Director during your advising session. Students studying abroad transient complete the transient form instead of the course substitution form. Students taking classes in English in a country where English is not the native language are required to take one course in the host language. If your schedule changes when you arrive to your host country, email the IP Director the description of the new course, along with the Berry course/requirement it is to fulfill. The IPD will forward the request for approval to the appropriate Chair and Dean and inform you of their decision. International Programs cannot guarantee course substitution approval for these new courses.
The week before pre-registration, you will receive an email from the International Programs Director reminding you to log on to Viking Web to look at available courses for the next semester. The Registrar also sends newsletters about pre-registration. (IP is not responsible for full mailboxes!) After selecting courses, you must contact your academic adviser to discuss your selection. You may register online as soon as registration opens; however, your adviser still needs to release the courses.
When thinking about which courses to take, consider those that might build upon your study abroad experience. Have you developed new interests and skills that Berry classes might help to enhance?
Transcripts from study abroad sites take longer to receive than Berry College transcripts -- six weeks or longer is not unusual. Because Berry has no evidence of the completed courses until we have the official transcript, you will likely receive a notice from financial aid, reminding you of the need to earn 24 credit hours in an academic year in order to maintain satisfactory progress and eligibility for financial aid. Financial aid awards may be delayed until the transcript has been received and evaluated. Once the transcript is received and the student has otherwise maintained eligibility and has submitted a complete financial aid file, the financial aid award can be finalized. If you are in a situation where you need your grades quickly, you must make arrangements with your host institution before you leave for the transcript to be sent to Berry College earlier. Remember you are working under the procedures of the host institution, so even if you request, they might not be able to accommodate you.
Once your transcript has been evaluated by the Berry Registrar and is put into Viking Web, be sure to confirm that the classes you took fulfill the requirements you had originally indicated on your course substitution form. This can be done by reviewing your advising worksheet on Viking Web. If there is a discrepancy or you completed a course abroad that was not indicated on your substitution form, contact the IPD for a new form. It is your responsibility to make sure the classes you took abroad appropriately fulfill the Berry requirements.

LUTHER, Iowa — In the small Boone County town of Luther, the number one problem — is number two.
"Yes, there's sewage in people's homes and when we had…we have storm water problems and when we fixed intakes and tiles there's raw sewage coming up," says Luther Town Clerk Linda Benson.
The town, with a population of 122, sits low and tends to flood. When that happens, sewer lines spill off into storm lines, causing the sewer lines to back up. Town leaders want to require all the homes in town to install water treatment systems at a cost of about $15,000 per unit. The town would borrow the money, and residents would be charged $80 per month. Neighbors aren't happy about that.
"We're already up over $50 a month without using one drop of water," says resident Cindy Miller, "This project that we're gonna do, you can clearly see it costing $200 a month whether you use water or not. Whose home is gonna have any value with a $200 water bill?"
Mayor Frank Duroy admits the council proposal will likely fail because of public outcry. "Right now I can see it not going anywhere," he says, "(So) we're at the mercy of whatever the DNR and the county wants to do."
The town council plans to discuss the matter further Thursday at 7:00 p.m.

Measuring just 23miles by 13 miles, the Isle of Wight is often referred to as a little slice of England.
What makes the Island so different is that here you will find the best of Southern England's landscape features condensed into an area of just 147 square miles, all easily accessible and unspoilt.
The Isle of Wight is the perfect growing area. Its low horizon line and reflected sunlight from the surrounding waters of the Solent are the vital ingredients for some of the most fertile land in the UK, contributing to the abundant crops of tomatoes, garlic and grapes, to name but a few.Read more...
You are never far from the sea on the Isle of Wight. As England's largest Island there are over sixty miles of fantastic coastline, half of which is in 'Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty' and vast tracks are classified a Heritage Coast.
The wonderfully varied and unspoilt coastal scenery is probably the Island's greatest natural asset, from glistening chalk cliffs overlooking clear blue waters to the tranquil estuaries which meander inland.
Trouville Hotel
A beautiful Isle of Wight hotel with a seafront location and sweeping views of the Bay.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I'm looking for some ideas for a new trail shoe. Here's the big constraint: my "A" race will probably be muddy and wet. It has been for the past 3-4 years and probably will be again. Most of the trail is a horse trail (nothing will make you despise horses more than running or riding on a wet horse trail) with a little bit of fire road and little bit of non-technical, soft single track.
I recently purchased a pair of the MT1010. They appear to be fine, except they suck up every ounce of mud possible-the biggest problem is between the pods. I would not consider these to be an option for the race if it is muddy/wet. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm basically looking for a lighweight, low drop, mud shedding shoe that will keep me from sliding around (if that exists).
Race: 5-25K (My "A" race is 20K)
Pace-approx 7:15/mile for 20K
Heel drop: 0-8
Current shoes: Altra instinct, Saucony Fastwitch 5, Saucony Triumph 9. Past favorites: Kinvaras, Mirages. I seem to do fine in a wide variety of shoes. I need at least some cushioning. The Peregrines and Kinvara TRs caught my attention.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

As Hollywood reels over the shocking murder of veteran publicist Ronni Chasen, we would like to extend our condolences to her brother and other loved ones. With her unyielding persistence and boundless energy on behalf of her clients, her smarts, her style, and her distinctive New York-inflected voice, Ronni will certainly be remembered — and could easily wind up as a character on page and screen for years to come. She was a top-notch publicist and will be sorely missed.

Chelsea Davis scored a 9.925 on bars Sunday at Stanford.
Jan. 13, 2014
Jan. 10: Oklahoma 197.700, Georgia 196.500
Jan. 12: Stanford 196.325, Georgia 196.150
Jan. 17 (7:30 p.m. in Athens, Ga.): LSU at Georgia
Jan. 20 (2 p.m. in Athens, Ga.): Iowa at Georgia
ATHENS-----The Georgia gymnastics team opened its 2014 season last week with road meets at Oklahoma and Stanford. Oklahoma defeated the Gym Dogs, 197.700-196.500, on Friday night in Norman, while Stanford rallied for a 196.325-196.150 win on Sunday. Oklahoma's 197.700 was the highest score of any team last weekend, and the 196.5000 was Georgia's highest score in a road opener since 2009.
Georgia will be back in action with two more meets in the coming days. No. 2 LSU will visit Stegeman Coliseum for a 2 p.m. meet on Friday, while the Gym Dogs will take on Iowa Monday afternoon at 2 p.m.
The Gym Dogs fell one spot to No. 9 in this week's top-25. Oklahoma took over the No. 1 spot, followed by LSU, Alabama, Florida, Utah, UCLA, Nebraska, Michigan, Georgia and Arkansas in the top-10. Current rankings are based on average overall score. In the team event rankings, Georgia is ranked fourth on bars, tied for ninth on vault, eighth on beam and 19th on floor.
Lindsey Cheek had an impressive start to her senior campaign with 9.9s on vault and bars in both of Georgia's meets against Oklahoma and Stanford. Chelsea Davis had Georgia's highest score of the weekend with a 9.925 on bars against Stanford.
Four Georgia freshmen saw action during opening weekend. Ashlyn Broussard, Kiera Brown and Morgan Reynolds earned spots in the lineup, while Lauren Johnson performed an exhibition on vault.

Very nice presentation, I especially enjoyed the section covering connecting on prem systems with azure systems.
It's Build Day! In honor, here's a tip to script Visual Studio with PowerShellApr 02, 2014 at 6:47 AM
very nice! It had never occurred to me to do something like that...I fail at automation! lol
That's super awesome! I'm actually working on some code to consolidate all my images from various drives in to a single location, then sending them to flickr...cuz 1TB!
If you're interested i'm actually creating a hash of the image contents, I wrote some functions for powershell, that i'm working on flipping over to c# since i'm moving all my powershell dev to c#.
the function is get-bitmaphash
it uses system.drawing to load the image into memory then I just use cryptoserviceprovider to compute the hash from the memory stream.
There is some other stuff that will pull gps data from the exif tags and give you coordinates and such.
Any updated information about authentication with azure ad? I know there used to be a tool to handle that for us in VS2012, but it doesn't work in VS2013.
Identity and Access Tools for Visual Studio 2012
I can't think of a use case (right now ) but that is pretty cool!
Great presentation, and I'm really enjoying playing around with this in my test rig at home. My one question is, and it's cool if the answer is no or never, will the x86 version of Windows 8 be supported for the WMF 4?
Windows 7, and Server 2008 listed, there is a x64 Windows 8 download, but nothing for Windows 8 x86. Again it's cool if the answer is it will never be supported for x86, I'll just need to rebuild my little management vm.

Gear Review
Tyler Johnson
Great Pack
I bought this pack for long weekend trips, since that is just about all I get to do these days, and I love it. The ergoACTIV belt makes the pack feel like it's a part of your body. I've loaded this pack up with 35-40 lbs of gear and dog food and I can barely tell it's there. In terms of durability it's been on two long weekends hiking, a week in the BWCA, and checked twice in the last couple months and it seems to be holding up fine.
No complaints at all. Absolutely a great backpack.

Cisarua. A cleaning service officer of Taman Safari zoo in Cisarua, West Java was fatally attacked by a tiger on Friday afternoon.
"After Friday prayer, Junaidi [32-years-old] was no longer seen by his colleagues," Yulius Suprihardo, the zoo's spokesman told Antara news agency on Saturday. "An official that usually handles the tigers found him dead."
He was taken to the hospital but he was dead on arrival.
Yulius said added the location where Junaidi's remains were found is not a public area — only tiger tamers and trainers have access to the location. He did not provide any details on the reason why Junaidi went into the tiger cage.
"We're still investigating the incident," Yulius said. "He was a diligent worker. This is a disaster for us."

Good Shirt
By Monty
from NRH, TX
Comments about Jos. A. Bank Traveler S/S Buttondown Patterned Cotton Sportshirt:
This shirt is not too light and not too heavy. I bought this on-line and was worried that it would be a very light shirt that would wrinkle at the seams and collar, but when I washed it and have been wearing it, the shirt stays crisp and presentable throughout the day.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In Flash Professional CS5 Essential Training, author Todd Perkins explains the fundamentals of Flash Professional CS5, the industry standard for creating animations and interactive applications for the web, desktop, and mobile devices. This course starts with the basics, such as using the drawing tools to create simple animations, and progresses to automating animation with tweens and adding interactivity with ActionScript. This course also covers how to add sound and video to projects, enhance realism with effects like easing, and publish a project to a variety of platforms. Exercise files are included.
Another way to get pre-built interactivity in Flash is to use a template. So if you go to Create from Template from the Welcome Screen or go to File > New and choose Templates, you can create a file based on a pre-built template. Note that you can also save an FLA file as a template if you want to be able to use something over again. So in here you will see things like advertising templates, and these are just based on the size of certain banner ads. So you can base your banner ad off of one of these pre-built sizes. You can use pre-built animations.
You can see pre-built buttons. So let's go down to Presentations and take a look at this simple presentation and see what we have. So I will click OK and I will click on the first keyframe of the Actions layer and open up the Actions panel. So in here you will see a whole bunch of code and basically what this does is it enables you to create slides and then Flash will automatically go through the slides as you click. So you can follow the instructions that are on the Instructions layer, and those are below the Template, and you can create a simple slideshow.
So in this way you don't really have to write any code at all. You can just add extra frames and Flash will create your presentation for you. So this is just one example of a template that's pre-built in Flash. I encourage you to go through them and see if you can find anything useful so you don't have to do as much work in preparing an application.
There are currently no FAQs about Flash Professional CS5 Essential Training.

You will need:
- EL wire
- inverter (chose one for the length of the wire you are going to connect)
- wire stripper
- cutter or scissors
- solder iron with fine tip
- shrink tube
- hair drier
- uninsulated ferrules
Step 1: Prepare EL wire
At this point you will be able to see the inner conductor covered by the phosphorus layer and the outer conductors, the two fine wires.
Using the cutter blade scratch the phosphorus paint out of the inner copper conductor for approximately 4 mm (0.16"). Be careful to remove it completely or welding will result difficult. Be careful not to cut the two fine wires. The EL wire must look approximately like the one in the last picture.
Step 2: Placing uninsulated ferrule and crimping
Get a uninsulated ferrule and place it on the EL wire, so that the two small wires remain inside the ferrule. Slide it on the EL wire as indicated in the pictures.
Using a pair of pliers crimp the ferrule around the EL wire as shown in the picture. If the diameter of the ferrule is correct the two fine wires will be kept in good contact with the ferrule. The ferrule will also be sturdily attached to the EL wire external PVC sleeve.
Great instructable!
I would think soldering the ferrule might cause damage to the outer casing to the el wire - obviously it doesnt. If it becomes problematic, a person could pre-tin a dot of solder on the ferrule so that adding the connection wire would only take a very brief second and ensure no cold solder joints :)
Great stuff!

What's truly authentic? Like pornography, I suppose we know it when we see it. Rehearsed or impromptu, it sparkles with genuine feeling.
Because most of us spend our days persuading, pitching, exhorting, and otherwise spinning content to make it look like it's well, authentic, I wanted to share this brief little vid. It features Anna D. Shapiro from Steppenwolf Theatre Company accepting her Tony Award for August:Osage County. And it's a gem.

I purchased after Christmas 2014 for $8/box. Note that the backside is completely burgundy, which limits the use, and what seems to be white in the photo is more of a beige. Rather silly no dry erase pen is included, but that is disclosed. Nice for Christmas or Valentines.
This are awesome. I am a Mary & Martha consultant and I am using them at our taco gatherings. I also plan on using them at my family gatherings. I got them while they were on sale which was even better. They are wonderful

Voice of the People
Even death can't stop the solicitors
My 91-year-old mother died this past November.
She had lived in her Huntington home since 1964 when my family moved from Barboursville.
She was a frequent donor to nearly all of the charities who send requests through the mail.
Those continued to come almost daily. After she died, I took over paying her bills so I had the billing address changed to my own for the utility companies only.
However, shortly after that my poor dead mother started receiving lots of mail at her "'new" address from all those same charities in addition to offers from credit card and insurance companies and more.
I later found out that Equifax sells its list of names.
The kicker occurred when she received an official letter from the Huntington Finance Department requesting money she owes for "multiple rental properties" for the years 2008-2012.
Forms were enclosed for filing.
My mother has never owned rental property in her life!
I'm well aware that Huntington needs money and think that unpaid taxes should be collected, but certainly not for non-existent property!
Between so many charities soliciting money and now Huntington, I feel sure my mother must be rolling in her grave.
It's time for her to be allowed to R.I.P!

In a population at equlibrium, mating must be random. In assortative mating, individuals tend to choose mates similar to themselves; for example, large blister beetles tend to choose mates of large size and small blister beetles tend to choose small mates. Though this does not alter allelic frequencies, it results in fewer heterozygous individuals than you would expect in a population where mating is random.

Adaloald (602–626) was the Lombard king of Italy from 616 to 626.[1] Son and heir of King Agilulf and his Catholic queen Theodelinda, he was baptised shortly after his birth in 602. He was an associate king, raised on the shield by the warriors at his father's request, when still young. Upon becoming sole king as a teen, he reigned under his mother as regent.
Adaloald went insane and lost the support of the nobles. He was deposed in 626 by Arioald, a Lombard noble from Turin and husband of the king's sister Gundeberga, who was hostile to the Catholic Church. Adaloald died mysteriously in Ravenna shortly after.
