Question Details:I was charged with Breach of Trust at my job, $1000 or less, my first offense in my life. I want to apply for Pre-Trial intervention, since I qualify for it. My problem is, if I get accepted into the program, will that have an impact on my court hearing? Of course I'm going to plead guilty because that's what I am in this case, but I don't really know what exactly I'm supposed to do if I get PTI. Do I need a criminal attorney? I'm in Greenville County, SC.
Yes, I would get a criminal attorney involved. Reading what is on the Internet regarding the program it seems like a good idea if you are eligible. But applying does not guarantee acceptance in to the program so you will have to worry about the charges if you are not accepted. I think that you may have a better chance of the solicitor's accepting your case if an attorney appeals to him or her on your behalf.
It is my understanding that if you are accepted then you can avoid having a criminal history as well as a fine and/or incarceration. Take one step at a time before you plead anything. That is why you need someone on your side to help you each step of the way. Good luck.

Winemaker's Journal — Nefarious Syrah a winner
Looking for a great wine to stowe away for the future? There's a great one nearby just waiting for you. Well, maybe not.
Nefarious Cellars' 2010 Rocky Mother Vineyard Estate Syrah is the only wine from a North Central Washington winery to make Wine Enthusiast magazine's list of 2013 World's Top 100 Cellar Selection Wines. The Chelan winery's estate grown syrah was number 23 on the list. The wine scored a teriffic 95 points in the magazine's wine reviews in 2012 and was also picked as a Cellar Selection last year.
Which is probably why the wine isn't listed on the Nefarious wine purchase web page. Unfortunately, it's sold out. There are some other great Nefarious wines that are available.
I'm thinking there are many great local wines that will improve with a little time in the cellar that magazine reviewers missed. Most Washington red wines from 2010 and 2011 benefit with additional cellar time. There are several other Washington wines on the list, which speaks well of the rising world aclaim for Northwest wines.
But it's great to see at least one locally grown, locally made wine on this national magazine's list. Congratulations Dean and Heather Neff!

WOW! I have the V6 and it is by far the best car I have ever had. Maybe it is the 4 cylinder or the tires that cause it to wander. That is a NON issue in my car.. I have factory Michs on mine and I have driven 26k miles in 8 months since I owned. The tires are perfectly balanced and smooth . Have only had them rotated, not balanced. Up to and at
80 mph they are like riding on glass.
So i suspect it is the tires that are your issue...
I have a 2010 V6 and I'm not a power driver like you are but my experience is pretty different than yours. If anything I find the driving experience pretty mindless. If you are struggling to steer the car at high speeds I'd take it to the dealer, there's something wrong.
I came on here to see if anyone else is having the same complaints as I am about my 2011 Venza 4 cyl and what you are describing is exactly my problem. I have only 10K miles in about 10 months that I have had it. I am ready to give this car back (thank God I'm only leasing it!). After driving it for 1000 miles, the car is drifting severely and I need both hands on the wheel constantly. Then after a five hour road trip and noticing how bad it drifts, I took it in for the 5000 mi service and complained about it. They aligned it and it did seem better for about 2 weeks. Then it started drifting heavy to the opposite side. Then at the 10K mi service, they said it's not the alignment but it needed to balance the tires, so they did that. Again, it was better for about two weeks and now its pulling to the opposite side as the last time.
I tested it out at a high rate of speed (75 mph) and it was extremely bad. If I travel on a windy highway, I am paranoid and have both hands on the wheel just to stay in my lane.
I hate driving this car and I don't feel safe in it.
The car sounds course and there is absolutely NO power when accelerating. I should've got the 6 cyl but I wanted to save gas. I had a Honda Odyssey before and that was a 6 cyl and the gas consumption on the Venza is the same so I don't see any savings having a 4 cyl, just no power.
If the handling and power of the car would be better, I'd really enjoy driving this car since it offers the interior space that I need. But this woman needs more handling control and engine power.

Grizzly Peak celebrates the wild, natural areas of the state, such as the majestic redwood forests and rugged Rocky Mountains. The large number of trees in this area tend to give it a sense of calm, and help to make it feel cooler than other areas of the park. The main features are the park's water ride, Grizzle River Run, and the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, where parents can let kids climb and explore to blow off some steam.
This area also provides an oddity among Disney theme parks with a second entrance. Located near Grizzly River Rapids it provides direct access to the Grand California Hotel. Sometimes entering (but not exiting) by this gate may be limited to Disney hotel guests, especially early in the park operating day.

Nice shorts
I really like these swim shorts. The material is ultra soft and stretches as adverstised. They are also lightweight in the water and out. The zipper pocket is perfect for my needs. I have short legs, so the shorts fall just past my knees. This is the only drawback I have. I'd prefer at or just above otherwise I'd give 5 stars. The extra details, such as the rubber on the drawstring, are a very nice touch.

Color Scheme Is Not As Advertised On The Black Combination
I got these for swimming and they are really nice and true to size; a high quality product. But beware, the black, yellow and pewter color combination is really black yellow and bright white. For me it detracts from the look and I may exchange it for the pewter black and red.I would have given it 5 stars, because of the overall quality of the product, The color scheme is just personal taste.

The influence of Jesuit missionaries in China receded in the eighteenth century, but other European connections continued to grow. Commercial interests were quick to see new markets for the natural resources of China, and the rich opportunities for trade. Banking houses like The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation operated on mainland China and in Hong Kong to finance the burgeoning trade in raw materials and commodities. Because the Royal Society had laid great store from its inception on the European applications of materials gathered in China, it was excellently placed to take advantage of the growing two-way commercial traffic.
Johan Nieuhof, An embassy from the East-India Company of the United Provinces, to the Grand Tartar Cham Emperour of China (London, 1669)The Dutch East India Company competed with the English East India Company for Oriental trade. Nieuhof's book, translated into English by John Ogilby, was a best-seller and provided its readers with an up-to-date account of China.
Chinese sycee, strings of cash, and banknotesSycee (or bullion) was the silver money of China. Individual ingots came in many shapes and sizes according to where they were made. Round coins of copper alloy were also used, known in English as cash. They were designed with holes so they could be carried in strings. Silver sycee continued in use until 1933 when paper notes and machine-struck coins became accepted currency. Foreign banks had issued their own banknotes from the 1860s. The $5 notes on display were issued by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation in Peking in 1907.Sycee, cash and banknotes on loan from the HSBC Group Archives, London.
ScalesCommercial visitors carried portable scales to check the weight of currency.On loan from the HSBC Group Archives, London.
Great Ming circulating treasure note (first issued in 1375)This early example of Chinese paper money was issued under the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), when bronze for coins was scarce. The writing at the top translates as Great Ming Circulating Treasure Note'. Below, the denomination is written in two characters, yi guan' (one string'), with a picture of a string of 1000 coins. The text at the bottom gives instructions for use and a threat to punish forgers. The note was donated to the Royal Society by Cromwell Mortimer FRS in 1749.
Foreign trade in China 1929 (Shanghai, 1930)The trade of China 1932 (Shanghai, 1933)Reports on Chinese mining and agricultural activities, early 20th centuryReports written by or for Western companies operating in China in the early 20th century highlight the strong connection between scientific and economic development.

Two key former officials with the nonprofit group that manages the Internet's domain name system are raising concerns with its plan to allow an unlimited number of generic Internet addresses, the top-level domain name suffixes that come after the dot like .com or .org.
Google Chief Internet Evangelist Vint Cerf and tech investor Esther Dyson chaired the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers during its early years, when the group was introducing the first set of new domain names to compete with the only Internet addresses available to the public at the time: .com, .net. and .org. They now said they see several potential problems with ICANN's latest domain name plan, which has sparked strong opposition from major trademark owners.
Dyson was ICANN's founding chairman of the board from 1998-2000, while Cerf, one of the pioneers in the Internet's development, succeeded Dyson in 2000 and served until 2007. Despite their past association with ICANN, neither has a formal role with the group any more.
Following an appearance at an unrelated event on Wednesday, Cerf told Tech Daily Dose that he's "nervous" about ICANN's new domain name proposal. He cited several potential concerns, including that it could create confusion among Internet users, big problems for trademark owners who may feel forced to register their trademark in all the new names or launch their own Internet addresses, and also logistical headaches if any of the operators of the new domain names go out of business.
"At this stage of the game I think the engine is now running, and ICANN will do whatever it does," Cerf said. "We will have to watch and see what happens and figure out what to do if the outcomes turn out to be harmful."
ICANN is currently set to begin accepting applications for the new domain name program in January.
Dyson has raised similar concerns in recent months about ICANN's plan. In a syndicated column in August, Dyson also said expanding the number of domain names reduces the value of those out there already and questioned the motives behind the plan.
"Most of the people active in setting ICANN's policies are involved somehow in the domain-name business, and they would be in control of the new TLDs (top-level domain names) as well. It's worth it to them to spend their time at ICANN meetings (or to send staffers), whereas domain names are just a small part of customers' and user' lives," she wrote. "And that means that the new TLDs are likely to create money for ICANN's primary constituents, but only add costs and confusion for companies and the public at large."
ICANN, which did not respond to a request for comment, says the plan will promote innovation. And it is supported by ICANN's latest chairman, Steve Crocker, a peer of Cerf's in the development of the Internet.

|The 13th Hussars in
the South African War (Boer War)
IT will be remembered that on May 7, 1900, three troops of the B Squadron of the 13th Hussars marched from the regimental camp at Ladysmith to Modder Spruit, to act as divisional cavalry to General Clery. Here the fourth troop, which had been with Clery's division for a month, joined them. The B Squadron was thus again complete.
The officers were Captain Wiggin in command, and with him Captain Battye, and Lieutenants Symons, Pepys, and Twist. The strength of the squadron was 106 non-commissioned officers and men, and 113 horses.
On the following day all tents and heavy baggage were sent back to Ladysmith.
May 9th found the force advancing with Sir Redvers Buller in an attempt to turn the Biggarsberg. The country through which this march was made was for four days rough and bushy, but beyond a few shots exchanged between the scouts of the enemy and the British advance-guards nothing of note occurred.
On May 12th the force camped at Vermaaks kraal.
Early next morning, when just breaking camp, the Boer gun on Helpmaakar Heights began to drop shells into the baggage. The two 4.7 guns with the force replied at once, and the third shot put the Boer gun out of action. The Helpmaakar Heights were captured with little loss during the day by Dundonald's brigade and the 2nd Infantry Brigade under General Hamilton. The appearance of Bethune's column from the east, which had worked round through Greytown and the Umvote country, materially contributed to the discomfiture of the enemy, who offered at the best but a feeble resistance.
During these operations the squadron was detailed to escort the supply column, and in consequence could not take part in the pursuit of the enemy by the Colonials along the Dundee Road.
Next day the force moved to Beith, awaiting there the arrival of the supply park from Waschbank.
At 2 A.M. on the 15th they arrived at Dundee, after a march of six hours.
As the Boers had evacuated the town, the force was bivouacking on the 16th about one mile north of the place. Here there was a day's halt for rest, and the force then advanced, reaching Newcastle, a distance of 38 miles, without opposition, in about 48 hours.
On May 19th the Boers were found in position at the historic Laing's Nek by the 4th Brigade (Cooper's) and Dundonald's brigade, this force having pushed on to Mount Prospect and Ingogo. The squadron meanwhile halted at Newcastle with the 2nd Brigade until the 29th, when it moved on to Ingogo Hill. The squadron during these ten days made several reconnaissances towards the Buffalo, and by crossing the river at Wool's, a small patrol under Lieutenant Symons were the first party of the Natal army to enter the Transvaal. Lieutenant Pepys, who had been sent to Dundee in charge of Boer prisoners, rejoined the squadron before it left Newcastle.
Outpost duty at Ingogo occupied the squadron from May 29th to June 16th. The Long Tom mounted by the enemy on Pongwana, which could effectively use shrapnel at a range of 11,000 yards, while able to annoy the 4th Brigade at Mount Prospect, was luckily powerless to reach the camp of B Squadron.
While at Ingogo Lieutenant Symons carried a letter, under a flag of truce, to General Botha from General Sir Redvers Buller. The small party were allowed to approach within a mile of the Nek before being stopped.
General Buller was now making his flank march through Botha's Pass and Alleman's Nek, the squadron on this occasion acting as escort to the heavy guns.
On June 16th Laing's Nek, which had been evacuated by the enemy on the 14th, was occupied.
Three days later General Buller advanced with his whole force, arriving at Standerton on June 24. The enemy was not met with, but the weather was excessively rough. On June 20, Lieutenant Pepys was sent down to Durban suffering from jaundice.
At Standerton they remained for a week's rest, and then pushed on again; the only events being that the Boers ambushed a party of Strathcona's Horse and captured ten men. The rear-guard also had a slight brush with the enemy near Groot Spruit, losing one horse.
On July 5, the armies of Buller and Lord Roberts joined hands at Vlakfontein: General Hart, who had gone round on the other side after the relief of Ladysmith, riding over from Zuicherbosch to meet Buller. Trekking with Clery's column between Bethel and Greylingstad for the next three weeks, with a considerable number of Boers under Pretorius and Buys hanging on the flanks and rear daily, the squadron acting as the permanent rear-guard was perpetually being sniped. The only casualties were a few horses. On July 16th Lieutenant Pepys rejoined.
Three days later, under cover of a grass fire, the enemy charged the squadron near Leeuw (Standerton). Two companies of the 60th came to its assistance, and the attack was soon beaten off. One man of the 60th was, however, killed.
Nothing occurred of note until August 14, when the strength of the squadron was raised to 6 officers, 142 non-commissioned officers and men, and 140 horses, by the arrival of Lieutenant Gubbins with a draft from Newcastle. For the whole of this month the force remained at Greylingstad and Vlakfontein, nothing occurring, after which it returned to Standerton. The squadron then left the column and formed part of the garrison, being employed on outpost duty, cattle guards, and clearing farms.
Private Brodrick, while on outpost duty at Rademeyers Farm on August 20, was badly wounded in the leg by a Boer sniper.
On the same day the troop under Lieutenant Twist, which had been patrolling to Leeuw Spruit, was somewhat severely pressed by the enemy when returning, two horses being killed.
Riding back under a heavy fire, and catching a horse which had broken loose, Private Pritchard distinguished himself on this occasion. Private Pritchard brought the horse back to the troop, and for his conduct earned a mention in despatches.
On October 28th Lieutenant Symons and half of the squadron was sent to assist the garrison at Platrand in reconnaissance duties, returning on the evening of November 2. During this expedition the half squadron came in contact with the Britz Commando, and in the skirmish which ensued Private Lewis was wounded and three horses hit.
The month of November was uneventful.
At 4 A.M. on December 2, Captain Wiggin with the squadron, 150 mounted infantry, 150 infantry, and two guns, moved out to clear a farm some ten miles to the east. The removal of the mealies there was opposed by a strong force of Boers, who nearly succeeded in cutting off a party of the T.M.I. The enemy had possession of a kraal from which they were firing heavily. Under cover of the guns Captain Wiggin with some mounted infantry advanced on foot and turned them out. Eventually the enemy were driven off and the force returned to Standerton, escorting four waggon-loads of mealies, &c. During the fight Private Ware was slightly wounded in the face, and Sergeant Mahon, who had taken on his horse an officer of the T.M.I., who had been dismounted, had a heavy fall over wire, and was unfortunately incapacitated for three months from the effects.
Two days later the squadron with 7o mounted infantry, 200 infantry, and 2 guns, under Major Coghill, Royal Artillery, while clearing a farm in the same neighbourhood, had another sharp brush with the enemy. Two gunners were wounded, but the rest of the force suffered no casualties.
On December 13th the holding up of the train near Vlakfontein, already mentioned, took place. About 6 A.M. on December 21, Private Pearson galloped in from Rademeyer's picquet with the news that it had been heavily attacked. Private Pearson, who was alone in the right sangar at the time, emptied his magazine before retiring on Standerton, and a dead Boer horse was afterwards found thirty yards in front of his post.
The affair happened thus. It was very foggy, and the Boers crept up under cover of the mist. Appearing suddenly, they captured Corporal Willman and two men who were patrolling in front of their post. They, however, released their prisoners after taking their arms and horses. Then the enemy attacked the post, but Privates Pike and Laggett, who were inside, held on and wounded two of them. When Private Pearson reached Standerton the squadron saddled up and sped to Rademeyer's farm, only to see on arrival the Boers trekking away in the distance. The 4.7 gun on the kop sent a shell after the retiring enemy, but did not quite reach them.
On that evening the squadron received the rifles in lieu of carbines, as has been already stated.
On January 2, 1901 the squadron, with two companies of infantry and two guns, under Captain Wiggin, reconnoitred towards De Lange's Drift, but owing to heavy rain and mist were obliged to return after a ten mile journey.
Five days later, about 2 P.M., news arrived that the Boers had driven off some cattle from grazing south of Standerton Kop. Half the squadron galloped out in pursuit and engaged the rear-guard of the enemy across the Vaal river near Eloff's Farm, some ten miles away.
The Boers were too strong, however, for the forty men of the half squadron to attempt to force a crossing of the river.
On January 13, at 1 A.M., the squadron, with the 2nd Divisional Mounted Infantry, started for Boschof's Farm, hoping to find the enemy there, but failed to do so, and a heavy fog compelled a return to camp. Next day the squadron marched at 2 P.M. to join Colville's Column at Reitvlei, a spot fifteen miles north-east of Standerton. The column, of which the strength was about 1200 men, consisted of 1 squadron 13th Hussars, 1 squadron Mounted Infantry, 50 Standerton Police, the 1st Battalion Rifle Brigade, 4 guns, 64th Battery Royal Field Artillery, and 1 pom-pom.
On January 15th and 16th the column moved towards Bethel, where a considerable force of the enemy was found in the front. From 6 A.M. to 5 P.M. the mounted units were engaged, and during the afternoon it became necessary to charge a ridge which was strongly held and whence a hot fire was coming. The hussars, mounted infantry, and police then dismounted, and with great steadiness rapidly drove the Boers back to Boschmanskop. Two men, Privates Brewer and Mitchell, were wounded, and seven horses were hit.
During the day Private Cleaver behaved with commendable coolness in catching the horse of Private Jennings, while Private Snelling took his dismounted comrade on to his horse and conveyed him back to the squadron.
That evening the column camped at Van Staden's Dam. During the night a lamp message was received, ordering Colonel Colville to march back to the line at once and to entrain half the battalion of the Rifle brigade at Vlaklaagte for Heidelberg. Accordingly on the following morning at 7 A.M. the column marched in this formation the Standerton Police formed the advance-guard, then came the main body, the baggage with half of the Rifle Brigade battalion followed it, while the rear-guard marched in the following order: artillery, the other half of the Rifle Brigade battalion. The squadron and mounted infantry with a pom-pom formed the rear party. Lieutenant Pepys with half the squadron formed the right rear. Lieutenant Twist with the other half the left rear. The mounted infantry with the pom-pom were in the centre, somewhat closer to the column than the cavalry. Very shortly after starting the Boers began to press on the left rear, in consequence of which the mounted infantry and the pom-pom moved to support Lieutenant Twist. While this was going on, the enemy began to move round the right, crowning the ridges strongly on that flank. Suddenly as the rear half battalion and guns were crossing a vlei near Bosmanskranz, the Boers made a sudden and simultaneous attack on the right rear and left rear. For some little time the half squadron with Lieutenant Pepys on the right held on in a pan, but were so hard pressed that they had to fall back to a small knoll where they took up a position between the infantry of the baggage guard and that of the rear-guard. Lance-Corporal Harding, who belonged to the half squadron with Lieutenant Pepys, was out with a patrol of two men on the extreme right and behaved with great gallantry. They held on to a ridge till the leading Boers were but 200 yards distant, when they mounted and galloped back to the half squadron. The effect of this was to cause some of the enemy to dismount and open fire, thus delaying their advance. By this means time was given for the rear-guard infantry, who formed to their right at the double, to just reach the top of the ridge as the Boers were riding up the other side. The enemy made a gallant effort to get to close quarters, standing up in the open and replying to the fire of the Rifle Brigade. The latter then fixed bayonets and began to advance, upon which the Boers gave in and fled with precipitation.
Meanwhile the baggage guard and the little party under Lieutenant Pepys on the knoll, which practically formed the connecting link between the two half battalions of the Rifle Brigade, were heavily engaged. Their steadiness, however, prevailed, and the Boers eventually remounted and galloped off. On the left rear and protecting both the left of the baggage and the rear of the infantry who had formed to the right, Captain Wiggin with the half squadron of Lieutenant Twist and the company of mounted infantry had occupied a round hill where the firing was also heavy. But owing to the length of the grass but little damage was done on either side, and after an attempt on the part of the enemy to take the hill, which failed, the Boers in about half an hour drew off. There was, however, an expectation, and a reasonable one, that another attack would be developed on the original front, which might involve the baggage. Here, with the exception of a few police, the position was unprotected. Colonel Colville therefore gave the order to draw in on the guns. No attack by the enemy, however, was made, and they had evidently had enough for one day. The force was, however, annoyed by sniping.
It was ascertained afterwards, from Boers who had been engaged, that their casualties amounted to about 50 killed and wounded, and that their force, which was composed of men from the Heidelberg-Bethel, Standerton, Ermelo, and Wakkerstroom Commandos, numbering 1500, was commanded by Christian Botha and Vecht General Spruit. The British casualties were these-Guide Alison killed, twelve Rifle Brigade and two privates of the 13th Hussars wounded (Privates Sutton and Pollock), and one private of the mounted infantry. In addition, Private Ware of the 13th Hussars received a slight wound in the hand, Lieutenant Pepys had a narrow escape, a bullet passing through his helmet, and seven horses were hit, among them being the charger of Captain Wiggin.
In his report on the engagement Colonel Colville wrote: "I ascribe my success to the good handling of the baggage guard by Captain Talbot, Rifle Brigade, of the mounted troops by Captain Wiggin, of the guns by Major Coghill. In a later despatch he also especially mentioned Lieutenant Pepys and Lance-Corporal Harding of the 13th Hussars.
Later in the afternoon the column moved on towards the line, and went into camp about four miles from Vlaklaagte, and next morning at about 4 A.M. they marched into that station.
For a few hours a halt was called, and the squadron with the Standerton Police then left the column and marched to Standerton. The next operation of importance took place on January 28, when 70 men of the B Squadron and 40 Standerton Police, under Captain Wiggin, paraded at g P.M., and with Mr Alison, the resident magistrate, as a guide, made an eighteen-mile night march to a farm near Roberts' Drift on the Vaal river. The night was both very dark and very wet, but the force keeping steadily-on reached the river about 1 A.M. This had to be crossed, and the crossing was by no means an easy one, as the banks were very steep and slippery. Descending the bank, one man and horse rolled down about thirty feet into the water, but luckily escaped injury. After some little delay the force succeeded in effecting a safe crossing, except one troop under Lieutenant Gubbins which was left to hold the drift and cover the retirement.
About a mile beyond the river the natives informed Captain Wiggin that the farm was quite close, and the force dismounted. Creeping through a big mealie-patch there, the house was surrounded. A dash at the door, which was speedily burst open, disclosed seven of the enemy in bed. No resistance was offered, and the Boers at once surrendered. Two natives who tried to escape were slightly wounded. The force then retired, taking with them their prisoners and a dozen ponies found in a kraal, together with about fifty head of cattle. Some little difficulty was experienced in finding the horses again, as the night was so dark, and in consequence, when the river was reached, Captain Wiggin determined not to attempt a passage until dawn. With daybreak a crossing was effected about 3.30 A.M., and three and a half hours later the force marched into Standerton after its successful foray. Nor considering the difficulties of the expedition and the darkness was it a bad performance, as 35 miles, with a nasty river passage each way, was covered in ten hours.
On February 4th the B Squadron paraded at 4.30 A.M. and proceeded about ten miles eastward in order to bring in a convoy from Dartnell's column. On approaching the column the squadron was mistaken for the enemy, and received the polite attention of a pompom. Luckily, however, no harm was done. Bringing in the convoy, the force returned to camp at noon. On the following day the empty waggons had to be escorted back again to the column, and this was done.
At 6.30 A.M. on February 6, the squadron marched to Waterval, and at the same time on the following day proceeded to Greylingstad. The circumstances, which were concerned with the blowing up of line and the culverts, and holding up trains by the enemy, which called for the junction of the A and B Squadrons on this occasion, have already been narrated; as has also the return of the B Squadron to Waterval on February 10. Captain Wiggin, however, had had the misfortune to experience a severe fall, and was compelled to return to Standerton by train.
On February 11th the squadron marched at 3.45 A.M. and met a party of mounted infantry and two guns from Standerton, the whole being under the command of Major Kayes of the 60th Rifles.
The force reconnoitred as far as Joubert's Kop. While returning, the enemy to the number of about 200 attacked the rear-guard, but were driven off, thanks mainly to the excellent practice made by the Royal Artillery. One of the mounted infantry was wounded, and a horse was hit, but there were no other casualties.
On February 13th half the squadron under Lieutenant Pepys went out to Welgedacht to take over a convoy of Boer families that had been collected by Colonel Colville's column, and which had to be escorted to Standerton. On the road there was a little sniping on the left flank. This habit of sniping was very annoying, but at times the enemy did not have things all their own way in the game. On February 21st the picquet at Grobelars' Farm was thus persecuted. The picquet, however, replied, and wounded a Boer, who was carried off by his comrades to a safe distance.
Two days later an order was received to send a patrol of one non-commissioned officer and six men to Boschman's Kop, about six miles distant. When nearing the top of the hill the party was fired on, and Private Heaps of the 13th Hussars, who was the advanced scout, was severely wounded and fell from his horse. The picquet at Rademeyers Farm, hearing the firing, galloped out in support and occupied the Kop. Their appearance was sufficient to cause the withdrawal of the enemy. An ambulance was sent out from Standerton to bring in Private Heaps, but the poor fellow died of his wound the same evening.
For the next few days affairs were quiet.
On March 3rd orders were received for the squadron to start for Vrede on the following day, as forming part of the column under General Barr Campbell. This column consisted of the 3rd Grenadier Guards, the 4th Imperial Yeomanry, 4 guns and 1 pom-pom. Marching at 5.30 A.M. on the 4th, De Lange's Drift was reached without any of the enemy being seen.
Proceeding at 5.30 A.M. on the morrow, the column reached its destination, Vrede, about 5 P.M.
During the march the B Squadron furnished the rear-guard. For the last eight miles the road ran through rough, hilly country, and the flanks and rear-guard were incessantly worried by some 200 of the enemy. The half squadron under Lieutenant Pepys was pretty constantly engaged, and fired on an average about 150 rounds of ammunition per man. Several Boers were killed and wounded, and the only British casualty was one man of the Imperial Yeomanry wounded. Incessant rain delayed the column at Vrede from the 6th till the 9th of March. On the 10th the force marched at 6 A.M., and were accompanied by a reinforcement consisting of the and Leinster Regiment and two more guns. The squadron was not engaged, but there was a slight rear-guard skirmish in which the Leinsters had two men wounded.
That night the force camped at Mooi Bank.
Next day the rain came on again with redoubled violence, and the drift over the spruit, known as Zonderdrift, became impassable. Throughout the day the Royal Engineers and the infantry were busily employed endeavouring to repair it.
The spruit having been rendered passable, on the morrow at 6 A.M. the squadron with the Stafford and Leinster Squadrons Imperial Yeomanry left the camp, and crossing the spruit occupied the high ground on the far side. From this elevation some large parties of Boers could be discerned in the distance hovering about just out of rifle-shot. A few who were nearer and unseen indulged in sniping, but beyond this the enemy did not venture on an attack.
At about 6 P.M. the squadron of the 13th was relieved by the infantry, and at the same time the first waggon crossed the drift. It was a terribly tedious business getting the convoy across, as break-downs were frequent, and each necessitated a delay for repairs.
At length, after thirty hours-a period which included the whole night and the next day-the last waggon was safely on the other side.
On March 14th the squadron left camp at 6 A.M.. A half squadron under Captain Wiggin formed the advance-guard, and the other half squadron under Lieutenant Twist forming the right rear-guard. In order to protect the convoy it was needful for Lieutenant Twist to occupy a ledge of rock. To do this there were only a very few men available, and the party had a great difficulty in holding it. For nearly an hour they were under a very hot fire. Then Sergeant W. Mahon was shot through the head and died the next day. Sergeant Mahon was one of the most gallant soldiers of the regiment, and his loss was greatly deplored by all ranks. The enemy who were opposing this half squadron numbered between two and three hundred. It became necessary for the half squadron to retire, and this was carried out under cover of the guns which had been sent to their assistance. Lieutenant Twist then occupied a grassy slope where there was practically no cover. Here the enemy gave them a very warm time, but there was luckily only one casualty, Private M'Sweeney being wounded in the arm. It now became needful to send Sergeant Maguire and ten men from the half squadron to hold a hill that ought to have been held by the Gloucester Yeomanry. Just as he was getting into position, three volleys were heard from a flank-guard post of the Gloucester Yeomanry, and Private Parr fell with a bad wound in his thigh. On investigation it was found to be due to the negligence of a sergeant in charge of the flank-guard, whose men were in a very excited state and were firing at anything. Meanwhile Captain Wiggin, with his half squadron which formed the advance-guard, had received orders to cross the blip river at De Lange's Drift and to occupy the high ground on the northern side. Beyond a few snipers whom he drove away they reached the river unmolested, only to find it in flood and the drift impassable. The column could not, therefore, attempt to cross, but camped on the southern side that night.
Here the force was practically fixed from the 15th to the 22nd of March, as the river fell so slowly. But the convoy had to be got across somehow, and in consequence all the waggons-nearly three hundred in number-were floated across, while the baggage was ferried over on a raft. The horses and cattle were swum over. Eventually the column marched into Standerton on March 22. Two days later the squadron paraded at 10 P.M., and together with two companies of infantry, two guns and a porn - porn, the whole under the command of Colonel Colville, made a night march to Palmietkuil, a place sixteen miles to the north, where at a farm near it had been reported that some of the enemy were wont to sleep. The farm was surrounded and rushed at daybreak; nothing was found in the place. At the deserted farm the force rested the next day.
On March 26th the squadron with a pom-pom were sent out to reconnoitre. After being out for about two hours, thirty Boers were discovered holding a ridge. They were immediately attacked with vigour, and were speedily driven off with a loss of two wounded. Their small laager was taken with all their blankets, and dinners ready for cooking. These Boers belonged to a small commando under Corporal Charlie Parsons. As the squadron and the pom-pom returned to camp, Parsons followed up the rear-guard, and was rather troublesome.
The force was also somewhat severely sniped by a party under Hans Nagle, which had come up from New Denmark. The only casualty, however, was that Private Letts of the 13th was wounded in the wrist.
About 10.30 that night heavy firing was heard at the outposts, and the whole force turned out and lay down around the camp. It was, however, a false alarm, and proved to be the outposts firing at the Kaffir scouts, whom they mistook for the enemy. By luck nobody was hit.
The next morning the camp awoke to a thick mist. About 8.30 A.M. firing was heard, and bullets began to drop into the camp, one gunner being wounded. A hail of lead was sent into the fog, and the sniping ceased. When the mist cleared off about 10 A.M., the force marched over the railway crossing near Waterval. Here a large quantity of forage was destroyed and some horses were captured. The force encamped that night at Vlaklaagte.
On March 28, as information had come in that de Wet was about to attempt to cross the line to the south, the force was ordered to take up a line of outposts from Waterval river on the left to the Greylingstad mine on the right, while a column under Colonel Borroughs, Royal Artillery, came out from Standerton to hold the line from the Waterval river as far as Poortje on the Vaal river. The orders to Colonel Colville were to the effect that the B Squadron, who were reinforced by Lieutenant Church's troop of the A Squadron from Waterval, should form the advanced outpost line, watching the drift over the Waterval and those over the Groot Spruit. The infantry and guns were to bivouac in rear of the centre at Vogelstruisfontein. Just before nightfall the B Squadron took up its position, and remained watching that line until the morning of March 30. These were two most unpleasant nights, as the front being more than six miles practically every man was necessarily utilised as vedettes. No Boers were seen, but the whole force was attacked by swarms of mosquitoes of a specially ferocious breed.
How Corporal Gavin was wounded by an infantry outpost on the night of the 28th has been already mentioned. It would, however, appear that he was challenged by the sentry and replied, but that his reply was presumably not heard. When the post fired into him, he was not only wounded, but his horse was killed.
Shortly after daybreak on March 30th the outpost line was drawn in and the column was concentrated. At 5.30 A.M. the whole force marched and crossed the Waterval. On the way parties of Boers belonging to Buys' Commando continually sniped them. A halt for breakfast was called at Vaalbank, and here seventy of the Johannesburg Mounted Rifles and one hundred mounted infantry under Captain Ionides joined. While at breakfast some Kaffirs came in and reported that a commando of Boers with waggons lay just on the other side of the Vaal at Roberts Drift. The mounted men got into the saddle immediately, and made a dash for the kopjes overlooking the drift. Apparently the Boers had had intelligence of the proximity of the force, for they were visible streaming away to the south-west at a distance of about two and a half miles. Colonel Colville under the circumstances did not consider it worth while to pursue. A few shells were, however, fired after the retiring enemy, and the Johannesburg Mounted Rifles crossed the river and captured some cattle. The Boers had, however, left a few of their number behind, and these, as usual, began sniping, wounding one man.
That night the force camped under the kopje near the drift.
On the following morning the baggage came up, escorted by another squadron of the Johannesburg Mounted Rifles, which had picked it up at Vaalbank after the rest of the force had left. At 2 P.M. the squadron of the 13th received orders to march at once to Waterval, and arrived there at 6 P.M. An attack on the road from a party of Boers at Plat Kop had been expected. It, however, did not come off, though a few of the enemy hung on one flank, but contented themselves merely with sniping.
On April 1st the squadron marched at 8.30 A.M., and reached Standerton at 2.30 P.M., with the exception of Lieutenant Church and his troop, who returned to Greylingstad. At Standerton the large draft from England already mentioned was found awaiting the return of the B Squadron.
On April 3rd Captain Wiggin was ordered with his squadron to Katbosch, where he was reinforced by one company of the East Surrey Regiment and a 15-pounder gun. With this force he was to be employed in watching De Lange's Drift and the other passages across the Klip river, and also to cover the construction of blockhouses at Erdzak and Darling.
Next day this force moved to Katdoorn kraal and took up a position enabling it to watch all the approaches from the Klip river, from Wildebeest kraal, and Kromdzai station. On April 5th half the B Squadron reconnoitred to the north of the railway towards Diepspruit, and on the two following days reconnaissances were also made, but few Boers indeed were seen.
On April 8th the force marched at 8.30 A.M. and returned to Standerton.

2013-2014 TMCF/MS Software Grant
TMCF Technology Initiative OverviewThe Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) commissioned a comprehensive study of technology usage at our 47 member publicly-supported Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in April 2000 and from that study, identified needs and opportunities to upgrade technology at our member-schools. We are determined to eliminate the digital divide that separates students at our colleges and universities from their counterparts at better funded colleges and universities. Upgrading technology at publicly-supported HBCUs will help ensure that our institutions remain equally competitive in preparing young men and women for the global marketplace. Further research indicates that the schools continue to need software to support the instructional programs at the institutions and manage the campus networks. Training is the major need of the institutions. This training should be in the form of face-to-face instruction since staff has a difficult time finding the time for on-line training.
The member-schools have also indicated that there critical need for data storage on the campuses. They have also indicated that there are needs for improved security tools to manage the campus networks and data storage. This will become a critical issue with some new federal regulations. In addition, the campuses indicated that there is a continued need for network switching and wireless equipment.
The Thurgood Marshall College Fund Technology Initiative was created to address long-term technology needs of the schools and to identify funding sources to support technology upgrades. TMCF is the only national organization providing programmatic and capacity building support to the 47 publicly-supported HBCUs, which enroll 80% of students attending HBCUs.
The TMCF Technology Initiative has three goals:
- University and college faculty, administrative personnel, and students will have access to current technology and be able to employ the use of them in their respective activities – increase productivity by administrative personnel, improve instructional effectiveness and make more information available to faculty, and enable improved learning for students through additional information and methodologies.
- The new technology will be promoted to administrative staff, faculty, and students, and the benefits will be shown to them. Assistance will be provided to help them understand the use of the technology.
- Residents of the surrounding communities will have access to IT Resources through the college and university.
- Effective communication
- Critical thinking
- Collaborative learning
- Digital age literacy
1.0 Microsoft Donation Overview
The software is available to TMCF member-schools through a review process, managed by the TMCF, designed to identify the schools best prepared technologically to effectively use and implement software and solutions for the benefit of students, faculty, and administration. TMCF member-schools selected to receive software from this grant implemented technology solutions to help the schools become more competitive; address key long-term technology needs and opportunities; and, benefit students, faculty and administrative staffs.
1.1 Technology Advisory CommitteeTMCF has established a Technology Advisory Committee (TAC) to investigate, evaluate and recommend tactical and strategic advanced technology initiatives on behalf of the TMCF. The scope of the TAC includes the evaluation of the following information technology areas for the TMCF and its representative schools and support organizations:
- Hardware
- Software
- Network/Internet
- Technology Education
- Implementation Strategies
The Microsoft grant makes available Microsoft software and licenses across the spectrum of Microsoft products including operating system software, desktop applications, programming, server, site management and instructional software. A complete listing of software available can be found here.
This RFP is for software only. Installation, training, and other services are the responsibility of the campuses or may be obtained through future grants from other sources. One goal of this donation from Microsoft is to ensure that the university and college faculty, students and administrative personnel will have access to the latest software technologies and be able to use them in their respective activities. It is anticipated that the implementation and use of these software tools will:
- Improve instructional effectiveness and increase resource availability for faculty;
- Increase students' IT skill development and access to current information technology tools, positioning them to be more competitive in the job market after graduation;
- Increase the productivity of administrative personnel; and
- Enhance the technology infrastructure of the campus.
Review and evaluation by the committee will be rigorous and will follow the evaluation criteria described in Section 4.
The process to be followed is shown below.
In reviewing and evaluating proposals, the action by the committee will consist of any of the following:
- Notify TMCF of the TAC recommendations, and after TMCF approval, the request is sent to Microsoft;
- Return the proposal/request to the college/university with recommendations for modification and re-submission;
- Request more data from the college or university before making a decision; or
- Reject the proposal/request (outright rejection is unlikely – recommendations for changes will generally be made by the committee to a campus).
Once Microsoft approves a grant of software, TMCF will inform the campus and the procedures for obtaining the software. All donated software will be made available to campuses through Microsoft's Software Donation Program. Donated software (with few exceptions) will include software assurance and the ability to upgrade the software for a minimal fee should Microsoft issue an upgrade within a period of two years following the initial donation. Campuses will have the option to elect to continue a subscription to software assurance on their own as a part of their Campus Agreements or other campus licensing/software purchase agreements. Campuses can expect to receive software within four weeks of notification by TMCF.
Proposals may be submitted at any time during the two-year period of this project. A college or university that has received software as a result of a successful proposal is not precluded from submitting an additional proposal(s) for different software and/or different uses or to fulfill newly recognized needs. Each proposal will be evaluated on its own merits. TMCF will be allocating $4 million worth of software in 2013 and the remaining $4 million in 2014. TMCF will also be pursuing other funding sources that may afford additional opportunities.
A timeline for the program is as follows:
2013 Submission Deadlines – Jun. 30th, Aug. 31st, Oct. 31st, and Dec. 31st
2014 Submission Deadlines – Feb. 28th, Apr. 30th, Jun. 30th, Aug. 31st, Oct. 31st, and Dec. 31st
Shipment of software from Microsoft – Approximately 4-6 weeks after award date
2.0 SoftwareThe Microsoft software products that may be requested are shown in the table below. When available, Microsoft will include Software Assurance with each software donation. Software Assurance provides access to the newest version of Microsoft software for a product for a period of two years from the date of purchase (date of donation). If a product you receive through this donation is upgraded within the next two years and is eligible for Software Assurance, the donated licenses will automatically convert to the newest version of the software. You will be instructed as to the appropriate procedure for receiving updated media at a minimal one-time charge.
Specific product information on Microsoft software can be found here, while the price list can be found here.
Further questions may be directed to Microsoft Pre-Sales Support at 1-800-426-9400.
3.0 Instructions to PreparersQuestions should be submitted to:
Brad Gebert
p: 704.443.8014
It is important to be as accurate as possible and to provide as much data as possible to justify the request. Microsoft and the other donors must be assured that the products they donate will be used to directly and actively affect the teaching programs and won't sit on a shelf. Donors are giving their products with the expectation that the products will become familiar and useful tools to users.
Your proposal should consist of the following information:
- Submitter Data Sheet consisting of the following information:
- Member-school name
- President/Chancellor's name and signature
- CIO's name and signature
- The Software Request spreadsheet with quantities listed for each software title requested
- A statement of how this software will meet the academic and/or administrative needs of your campus, how many faculty/staff or students it will benefit, etc
- An Implementation/roll-out and Support Plan - a plan of how the products will be implemented/installed, including installation support, training, maintenance, and publicizing the new products and features.
4.0 Evaluation CriteriaThe TMCF Technology Advisory Committee (TAC) will evaluate all proposals. The TAC will review each proposal against the established criteria including merit/need and content and will make recommendations for a software donation to the TMCF. The TAC may request additional documentation or responses. After approving the TAC's recommendations, TMCF will work with Microsoft to fulfill the donation.
The following criteria will be used in evaluating proposals:
- Application of IT resources, including approach to improving access to computers and IT resources on campus; demonstrated improvements to the teaching process and the education of students; expected improvements in productivity of faculty and staff; ability to provide additional resources, classes, programs, and opportunities to faculty, staff, and students; and benefit to the community.
- Planning, including a cohesive and realistic plan or vision to improve the IT resources available to faculty, students, and staff; adequacy of plans to train faculty, staff, and students to use the new software products; realism of Implementation/Roll-out Plan to include adequate resources that are in place, planned, and/or requested to implement, maintain, and support the products requested as well as those in place or planned (independent of this grant).
Questions should be submitted to:

You have $1000 you are willing to spend on a external monitor. You are going to school in a few months for Digital Design and you do Final Cut editing. You already have a 15" Macbook Pro and you want extra work space.
Big screens are very attractive but all the same are apple products.
Would you buy a 24" Apple LED Cinema Display (Apple LED Cinema Display - Apple Store (Canada)) or say a 42" Samsung HDTV?
Both are around $1000. Price doesnt really matter. Quality wise.
Love to hear everyones opinion. Thanks

My first try at using an HDTV as my primary computer monitor was a 32". The initial thrill of the screen size is great. But, over time I realized it really was too large, especially if you're sitting at a desk from only 2-4' away from the screen and playing games. You end up have to actually move your head to see things that you need for playing rather than just being able to move your eyes. Downsized to a 26" screen. That was about the perfect size. I also routinely connect my Mac to both, 55" and 65" 1080p screens.
If you're looking for a screen primarily to be working on your school projects, I would recommend a monitor over an HDTV. Especially if you and the monitor are sitting at a desk. Whether the Apple or ... there are some other very good monitors out there. If you're going to be sitting further from the screen, probably 6-8' back at a minimum and/or wanting to have it as a dual function monitor/TV, then would 'consider' the HDTV.
At the price you're considering paying, you might consider investing the few bucks in the adapter and HDMI cable for your MBP (not those over-priced Monster things) and find a store that will let you plug your Mac into a TV and check it out for yourself. The time and the few dollars checking it out will be worth it in the long run.
I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth.

Julia was a student at a university in Michigan. She was asked to help a homosexual client by using "gay affirmation" therapy. But she refused to do so because of her beliefs about homosexuality. (Note: It is OK to refuse to provide gay correction therapy even if that is what the client desires. But one must not refuse to provide gay affirmation therapy). Julia was expelled from Eastern Michigan because of her views. So she ended it all.
Graham was a freshman at a university in North Carolina. He was taking a class in the political science department when the issue of gay marriage came up. When Graham mentioned his opposition to same-sex marriage his professor told him to shut up. He then threatened him with prosecution under the university speech code. So Graham decided to file suit. But before the suit was filed he took his own life.
Ruth was a student in Georgia. She was battling her campus speech code in federal court when homosexual activists began spreading rumors about her on the internet. They even called her a "bitch" for fighting against the campus speech code. After they circulated pictures of her Jewish co-plaintiff (doctored with swastikas) all over the internet she decided she had had enough. So she took her own life.
Mike was a professor in North Carolina. The director of the local LGBSTQQCCISA (Lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgendered, queer, questioning, completely confused, indecisively-sexed, and allied) Center kept sending him emails promoting LGBSTQQCCISA issues. The director of the LGBSTQQCCISA Center admitted that she did it to provoke him. He felt bullied. So he killed himself.
These eight cases are all true except for one thing: The Christians who were bullied by gays and gay activists are all still alive. Not a single one has committed suicide. That is because they have centered their lives around Jesus Christ, rather than their sexual identity. And no amount of bullying can change my mind about that.

Sting leads to arrests of prostitutes, men
HUNTINGTON -- A sting focused on four blocks of 6th Avenue resulted in 17 women being charged with prostitution, 19 men cited for trying to pick up an undercover officer in a reverse sting and one man facing a felony charge for pimping out a juvenile.
The Huntington Police Department on Monday released information about the prostitution sting, which started in mid-March and focused on 6th Avenue between 2nd through 6th streets. Capt. Rocky Johnson said it was all possible because of the community.
"It all started with numerous complaints from people who live and work there," Johnson said. "If they think people aren't watching, they're wrong. They are watching and they are calling."
He said those providing tips were specific about what the girls looked like and were wearing, while also providing information about the vehicles picking up the girls. That prompted the reverse sting in May, he said.
All the men were first-time offenders and were issued citations to appear in Huntington Municipal Court. Johnson said many times, men are embarrassed that they've been caught. But he did say it was troubling that nine of the 19 who men were from outside Huntington.
"I'm a little surprised by that," he said. "That guys from out of the state and area can manage to come into Huntington and find 6th Avenue and exactly where to go and what they are looking for."
Drugs often play a role in the women who are arrested, as many report their participation as supporting a drug habit. Johnson said the men cited know that, which led to some to offer drugs in exchange for sex.
"As we continue to address the prostitution problem in our community, our goal is to identify and assist those in need of drug addiction related services, incarcerate those who repeatedly engage in prostitution, and hold accountable the male 'customers' who are exploiting vulnerable and often times drug addicted women," Chief Skip Holbrook said in a news release.
The prostitution sting, which still has 12 active warrants, resulted in six women charged with felony counts for third offenses, four arrested on second offenses and six arrested on first offenses, including a juvenile who, police say, was being pimped. Eric L. Evans, 34, of Cleveland was charged with a felony charge of pimping out a juvenile.
The men cited in the reverse sting include: William G. Ritton, 54, of West Hamlin; Ralph Waldon Bauman II, 38, of Huntington; Brian Steven Peliwo, 44, of Barboursville; Hal Simpkins Jr., 37, of Huntington; Cody Aaron Hanley, 23, of Huntington; Jerry Everett Dunbrack, 48, of Huntington; Sean Scott Harbour, 29, of Huntington; Merrill Eugene Harrison, 75, of Huntington; Travis Lee Hudnall, 28, of Huntington; Claude N. Whitt, 42, of Ashland.; Troy J. Donahoe, 31, of South Point, Ohio; Darrell E. Blake, Jr., 35, of Chesapeake, Ohio; Michael Lee Whitley, 30, of Proctorville, Ohio; Duke Orlando Geary, 29, of Kenova; Chai Weston Moore, 30, of Huntington; Franklin E. Waller, 47, of Fort Gay, W.Va.; Carl David Clay, 50, of Huntington; Michael E. DeMarco, 42, of South Point, Ohio; and James Bradley Dalton, 35, of Huntington.
The prostitution arrests included: Celeste K. Pierce, 34, of Huntington; Allison M. Edwards, 25, of Huntington; Brooke L. Moore, 31, of Huntington; Natasha L. Estep, 29, of Kenova; Courtney L. Webb, 23, of Huntington; Karen E. Bennett, 30, of Huntington; Penny S. Schmelter, 35, of Huntington; Alecia D. Kay, 22, of Huntington; Maria D. Birchfield, 41, of Huntington; Danielle N. Landis, 22, of Huntington; Stacy E. Gilpin, 40, of Huntington; the juvenile; Kelly J. Stickler, 32, of Huntington; Samantha E. Canterbury, 34, of Kenova; Amber N.

The following information is for Western Michigan University students and alumni who are preparing an application for the BCBA exam.
Fifteen WMU courses have been pre-approved by the Behavior Analysis Certification Board. If you would like to include any of these courses on your application for the BCBA exam, check the "Pre-approved?" box for each course on the Course Content Verification Form. Pre-approval eliminates the need to submit a course syllabus, catalog description, etc. to verify course content.
Make sure that you use the content hours specified in this table on your verification form, as these have been pre-approved by the BACB. You may, of course, include in your application WMU courses that are not on this list, however you will need to submit written documentation to verify the content of each of those courses.

Making progress
Women lost ground on some fronts and gained on many others
Now we launch the beginning of a new decade and close the book on the '00s — the first 10 years of the second millennium. As a full-time cultural critic, my first thought was that women did not make much progress this decade.
Sexism was clearly more acceptable than racism in the '08 campaign. I'm saddened by the fact that sexism is still alive and well in American media and culture. There was ample evidence in the presidential campaign when then-Sen. Hillary Clinton was called all manner of sexist insults without fellow partisans protesting the abuse. There was the chorus of Democrats calling on her to give up her campaign before she was ready to do so. Nonetheless, she became the first woman to win 20 state primaries.
On the GOP ticket, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin became the first woman to run for vice president on the Republican side. She, too, has suffered sexist treatment in the media.
A report by Catalyst last month found five years of stagnation in terms of women being appointed to Fortune 500 corporate boards. The percentage has remained at just above 13 percent since 2003. And so on.
On the national front, the brouhaha in Congress over the death of Terri Schiavo prompted conservatives to push through the Unborn Victims of Violence Act. This was the first time federal law recognized personhood for fetuses and a major blow to women's rights.
But there are areas in which we've made real progress. One is the military, which is often first to break down barriers. The decade began with the closest presidential race in history, resulting in a win for George W. Bush. Less than a year later the country witnessed the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil. As a result, the country launched two wars, with thousands of women joining the services.
Hurricane Katrina had the indirect effect of helping to elect the first female speaker of the U.S. House. The Bush administration's delayed reaction caused Republicans to lose control of both the House and the Senate. Nancy Pelosi became the first woman Speaker of the House.
This year President Barack Obama took office filling his Cabinet with a number of women, most notably his former rival, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The first bill signed into law by Obama was the Lilly Ledbetter Act, adding strength to equality laws.
As the '00s draw to a close with some major ups and major downs for women's advancement, let us hope we make up some lost ground in the second decade of the new millennium.

Former WBO Heavyweight champion Michael Bentt, who knocked out Tommy Morrison in one round to win capture the title in Oklahoma breaks down this weekends clash of titans, Floyd Mayweather vs. Canelo Alvarez.
"Floyd by decision. Canelo will come to fight but he will be shut down by Floyd's elusiveness and class. Canelo can fight but Floyd has seen this type before. Floyd is a master at solving opponent's offenses and keeping them in center ring, peppering them with shots and breaking them down."
Interestingly, Bentt made a baseball analogy, comparing the the young Mexican to a home run slugger and the crafty American to a batting champion type consistency hitter. "Canelo does have above competent hand speed and talent but is one-dimensional in his articulation and use of it. He is a Dave Kingman-style longball bomber for the fences. Whereas Floyd is a surgeon, a la George Brett, hitting to all fields for high volume average while setting up the longball, when we, or should I say, his opponent, least expects it," stated Bentt.
Unbeaten Mayweather will face also undefeated Canelo Alvarez this weekend for the WBC Super Welterweight title in Las Vegas on Showtime Pay Per View.

adding/subtracting a further delay factor changes the amount of delay in

My system is Celeron 1200MHz, i440BX, G400DH, Ensonic ES1371, directfb 12-12-04, mplayer CVS-041213 and 2.4.28. I moved es1371 to another pci-slot to give it a new irq and now G400 doesn't have to share its irq with anyone. Still no success. With -framedrop I can see that mplayer has to drop frames ~1-3/s in order to keep the sync.
The command is mplayer -vo dfbmga:fieldparity=top:buffermode=triple:input -fs -vsync and without the -vsync av-sync is perfect but the picture is unviewable. Any ideas?
