Marshall's Walker qualifies for NCAA nationals in long jump
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Third place in the long jump in the NCAA East Preliminary Round was good enough to earn Marshall University senior Crystal Walker a spot in the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships next week at the University of Oregon.
Walker recorded a leap of 20-feet, 6.5 inches (6.26 meters) Thursday at North Carolina A&T University.
Marshall Thundering Herd women's track and field has eight athletes at the meet that runs through Saturday.
Walker became only the third Herd track and field competitor in program history to qualify for the national championships. Fellow senior Vanessa Jules already has a spot secured in the heptathlon, and Erin Crompton qualified in the hammer throw in 2003.
Jules also competed in the long jump Thursday, with a distance of 19-8 1/4 (6.0 meters) which landed her 21st in the field of 46.
She will compete Friday in the 100-meter hurdles and high jump Friday. Marshall's Amanda Kennedy will compete Friday in the javelin.
Marshall entered the regional competition ranked No. 40 in the nation, the highest ranking the team has ever achieved.

Boeing and Northrop both submit systems developed under J-UCAS for service¹s combat air system competition
Boeing and Northrop Grumman are responding to a US Navy request for proposals (RFP) for the $1.9 billion unmanned combat air system carrier demonstration (UCAS-D). Award of a contract for the six-year technology demonstration effort is expected in the third quarter of this year.
Boeing will offer the X-45N naval derivative of its X-45C demonstrator, the first of which was completed but never flown after the US Air Force/Navy Joint Unmanned Combat Air Systems (J-UCAS) programme was cancelled in February 2006. Northrop will offer the 19,000kg (42,000lb) gross-weight X-47B, which was also under construction for J-UCAS.
The RFP calls for an at-sea demonstration of a "low-observable planform" UCAS involving autonomous operations in carrier-controlled airspace within a 90km (50nm) radius of the ship; catapult launch and arrested landing, including approach, wave-off and bolter (missing the wire); and deck handling.Boeing is already flying an F/A-18F Super Hornet modified with X-45 software to demonstrate approaches at the navy¹s Patuxent River test centre in Maryland, says George Muellner, president of Boeing Advanced Systems. The UCAS-D is the first step towards a next-generation strike system for the USN, he says.Another solicitation, meanwhile, for management services to support the navy's UCAS advanced development programme office (ADPO) at Patuxent River, reveals that the UK remains part of the effort. The UK Ministry of Defence joined the J-UCAS programme before its cancellation, but the new solicitation includes support for UK ³technical and programmatic staffs² in the ADPO.Boeing is "working with the US Air Force Research Laboratory to decide what to do" with the single X-45C, says Muellner. The company¹s work on the USAF¹s emerging Long-Range Strike requirement is focusing on a survivable, subsonic manned/unmanned platform about twice the size of the X-45C carrying a 9,000kg-plus payload.

Oh Joy, Unemployment Above 10%!
Worry not my fellow Americans; the government is on top of things. Those of us educated in the perfectly predictable science of economics know that the government is on top of things and will curb unemployment when the time is just right. They have good reason for doing the things that they do; for example, we have been hearing over the past few weeks how the stimulus is creating jobs (even though it apparently is not). This 'white lie' is to help make the general population feel better and get them to spend the monies that they have started saving after the shock of the recession and the bursting of the housing bubble. Because as any economist knows, saving money is a terrible idea and that is what leads to personal economic instability.
Aside from that, now that the unemployment rate is above 10% the government will unleash its political and legislative tools to put a quick end to this problem once and for all. And if you don't believe me then just look at what President Obama said.
"I just signed into law a bill that will help grow our economy, save and create new jobs and provide relief to struggling families and businesses," Obama said in a statement delivered in the White House Rose Garden.
"The need for such a measure was made clear by the jobs report that we received this morning. Although we lost fewer jobs than we did last month, our unemployment rate climbed to over 10 percent, a sobering number that underscores the economic challenges that lie ahead," he said. (Reuters)
Oh, phew! We are saved! Now that a bill has been signed everything is going to be ok.

text: on Jul 15, 2013 @ 2:35 PMJul 15, 2013 @ 2:35 PM Published Acquittal shifts race issue in US back to the foreThe acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin stirred outrage Monday among African-Americans while resurrecting tough questions about racism in America today.Suspicions that the killing of the unarmed Florida teenager was racially motivated hung heavily over the lengthy trial of the pistol-packing neighborhood watch volunteer whose defense hinged on the state's "stand your ground" law.That controversial statute -- first enacted in Florida in 2005 and now in place in about two dozen states -- gives citizens the right to use deadly force if they believe their life to be at risk.The venerable National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) launched an online petition to pressure the US Department of Justice to pull Zimmerman back into court, this time on civil rights grounds."We are outraged and heartbroken (and) we will not rest until racial profiling in all its forms is outlawed," its president Benjamin Jealous said in a statement.Civil rights firebrand Reverend Al Sharpton called Monday for a "Justice for Trayvon National Day of Action" for next Saturday in more than 100 US cities to keep a spotlight fixed firmly on the case."We're not having a fit. We're having a movement," he told syndicated radio talk show host Tom Joyner, whose breakfast program is widely heard among African-Americans.The 17-year-old hoodie-wearing Martin was carrying nothing more lethal than a bag of Skittles when he died, but when police freed Zimmerman without charge just a few hours afterwards, the seeds of suspicion were sowed.The ensuing public outcry led to the 28-year-old Hispanic American's belated arrest -- six weeks after the fact -- and a trial before a jury of six woman, all but one white, covered breathlessly by all-news cable TV channels.Rarely did the issue of race come up in the court room, not least after Judge Debra Nelson ruled at the outset that prosecutors could not say that Zimmerman profiled Martin on the basis of race. Age and fashion sense, yes. But not race.But race loomed large in the sidelines throughout the trial, then returned to the forefront with a vengeance when the jury late Saturday acquitted Zimmerman, triggering angry protests throughout the United States.In New York, 15 people were arrested, mostly for disorderly conduct, a police official said. At least six others were arrested when riot police in Los Angeles -- where memories of trial-related unrest in 1992 are fresh -- intervened.In a post-trial press conference Sunday, Zimmerman's lawyer Mark O'Mara startled many observers by declaring that if his client had been black, "he never would have been charged with a crime."Martin's death, he said, had been made "the focus for a civil rights event" in which Zimmerman would be the fall guy, "used as the creation of a civil rights violation, none of which was borne out by the facts."Others meanwhile felt let down by Barack Obama, whose election in 2008 as the first black president was seen by many as a hopeful sign that America was finally putting its ugly history of slavery and segregation behind it.The case is widely regarded as the most racially sensitive issue in the United States since Obama entered the White House.Without condemning the verdict outright, Obama -- a father of two girls who once said that if he had a son, he would "look like Trayvon" -- appealed for calm, saying: "We are a nation of laws and a jury has spoken.""There's a widespread sense that this verdict is not justice and that it shows again that the courts are not capable of producing justice," said Ajamu Dilahunt of Black Workers for Justice, a North Carolina civil rights group."There's certainly interest in remedies (such as) changing laws like 'Stand Your Ground'. But there's wide disappointment in the rather meaningless statement that came from the White House."rom/jm

Indian Gracey to be scratched from Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Indian Gracey was to be scratched from the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies on Friday because of soreness in her right front foot, trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said Thursday morning.
Hollendorfer first noticed the problem on Wednesday morning, but wanted to wait a day to see if the filly responded to treatment. At the time, Hollendorfer thought there was a chance she would respond and make the race. But by Thursday morning, he realized he was running out of time, and decided to pass.
"It's just bad timing," he said. "We could push it and make the race, but it's not worth it. I'll take her back to Hollywood Park."
Hollendorfer is based at Hollywood Park. He said his next objective for Indian Gracey would be the Grade 1 Hollywood Starlet on Dec. 11.
Indian Gracey most recently had finished third in the Grade 1 Oak Leaf Stakes during the Oak Tree meeting at Hollywood Park. She finished second in her first two races, both sprints, before defeating maidens at Del Mar on Sept. 5 when first sent around two turns.

My table is 5 1/2 to 6 ft long without the leaf which won't be used everyday. Would I be able to use two of these with this size table or do I need the slightly smaller ones available. I will be using 2.
It looks nice, but the inside of the glass is hard to keep clean. The only way to clean it is to take the whole thing apart which can be a hassle, especially since it's hanging over my kitchen table....

Nice, but inside is hard to keep clean
It looks nice, but the inside of the glass is hard to keep clean. The only way to clean it is to take the whole thing apart which can be a hassle, especially since it's hanging over my kitchen table.Read More
Beautiful fixtures. Packaging is very well done. Lights arrived on time and in great condition. Ordered two of these to put over my dining-room table. I have 8 foot celings with 4 inch decorative beams running across ceiling. I had an electrician install them from one of these beams using two links on the chain to hang lights. Perfect height. This allows the light to still sit above everyones head while seated at table. My son is 6'5" and it is still at a good height for him. Could have even used 3 links but I like them a bit higher. Very impressive looking. In fact the electricians that hung them asked for the item number. They liked them so much they were going to try and get one for themselves. As others have said.. I had to adjust some of the light sockets. They were a little bent, but it was nothing to straighten them out. Chain to hang the glass seemed just a fraction to short but electritian was able to fix that rather easy for me. If you like the looks of them from the pictures you wont be disappointed with the real thing.Read More
beautiful light
I was sad to have to send this lantern back the chain and wire was not long enough for my high ceilings.Read More
Love it!
I have had this chandelier for 2 years and I absolutely love it. Just getting around to writing a review.. Got it for a great price and looks amazing above my kitchen table. Only con would be that it does collect dust and you have to wash it every 3-4 weeks at the minimum.Read More
PB Snob
LOVE this fixture, looks just like PB but half the price!Read More
Beautiful light
I love this light, in fact I purchased two of them! I am a picky person and researched for weeks. I swear this looks exactly like the light at the PB. The light is heavy and well made. I have one hanging over my kitchen island and one in my master bath over a clawfoot tub. I have 10' ceilings and still had to remove some links of chain, so if your ceilings are lower than that. you may not be able to hang it with much chain showing. I still think it would look good. If you are thinking about ordering this light, do it! You will not be sorry. It's stunning and would look great in a modern setting since it has so much glass and equally as well in a vintage setting (like mine) since it resembles a big glass jar. Enjoy!Read More
Great looking, but it is a bug catcher
As other reviewers noted, this looks pretty darn similar to the Hundi Lantern on another more expensive company's website. I really like the way this looks hanging in my stairwell, but when I showed it to my husband, his first words were "bug catcher" and it pretty much is. It's easy to unhook the 3 prongs around the bowl and clean the bugs out, but its something to think about if you are considering this light and how high it will be, how much trouble it will be to clean it out regularly. Assembly and installation were super easy, overall, I'm very happy with it.Read More
This lantern requires a lot of patience!!!
I was excited to find an inexpensive substitute for a spendier lamp to hang over my kitchen island. Just as other reviewers have said, I had to gently bend the 'candles' to appear more upright-- no big deal. My issue is that the glass does not fit snugly in the ring so I had to spend time moving the glass 'slightly to the left' and 'a smidge to the right' so that the candelabra is centered in the glass. It looks like it came off the scratch and dent shelf unless you get the glass perfectly centered, which I haven't managed yet on one of the lights. I am developing patience though.Read More
Amazing Piece!
I bought this light fixture to hang over my kitchen sink. I love it so much! I get tons of compliments and it really brightens my my kitchen. Before this fixture, we just had a recessed can light and this puts off so much more light in the entire room. It is beautiful. I can't say enough wonderful things about this product. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Extremely fast shipment, all pieces & parts were there, easy to install. If you're on the fence, buy it now! You won't be disappointed.Read More
Love it!
Love how it looks! I have been wanting to get this from Pottery Barn ever since I saw it but it was so expensive. It lived up to my expectations.Read More

Thanks you for the advise overstock but I would like to know if 2 of this size would work over a typical dinging room table or should I buy the slightly small size. We have 8ft ceilings and want to use 2 fixtures instead of 1. Thanks

I wonder when they will have their Swift book out. They wrote the gold standard for learning Objective-C and iOS development.
Big Nerd Ranch hits the road this fall to teach iOS 8 and Swift
App development education group Big Nerd Ranch has announced a roadshow for Swift and iOS 8. Coming this fall, the eight-city show will offer advanced classes for both Swift and iOS 8 to experienced iOS developers. These will be one-day courses, and developers can sign up for either or both. They will run from 8AM to 5PM and cost $700. Both classes will go over the ins and outs of Apple's new software and programming language, for instance, detailing the differences in writing in Swift and Objective-C.
The Roadshow will kick off on October 2 in Atlanta, lasting there until October 3. The show will come to San Francisco on October 9 and 10. From October 16-17, the show will be in Portland Oregon and New York City. Washington DC and London will have it on October 23 and 24, while Chicago will host on November 6 and 7. The show ends with the Austin, Texas stop on December 11 and 12.
Registration for the show opens on August 18. If it's coming to a city near you, will you be signing up for one or both of the classes? Let us know below in the comments.

At first, the story looks like any other fairy tale. There is a princess, a prince and a dragon, typical fairy tale characters; however, this is not your classical fairy tale. Thank god for that. Stories where princesses are waiting to be rescued by charming princes and are so delicate and helpless that they might faint any moment, are really getting old. This one is different, all the pieces of fairy tales are there (big bad dragon, a prince, a princess, a castle, the rescue and cunning) but the way they are put together is something different, something new and fresh.
The language is smooth and the characters are well developed. The author managed to create real, picturesque characters with only a few lines. Forget about Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora who get their happy ending not because they are particularly smart or because they had worked hard for it but because they are beautiful, that is all. What an accomplishment. This is not what we want to teach our children. The Paper Bag Princess gives us a real heroine. The main character is strong, clever and independent, a great role model for girls and boys.
The story is appropriate for children between ages 3 to 8, but even I as a grown up enjoyed reading the story. I think that has a lot to do with the story itself, characters, wonderful illustrations and humor. Humor is what gives the story that kick, children and adults alike would appreciate it greatly. The story has an interesting and unexpected ending and it makes you say: "High five."
The story comes to life with the help of expressive illustrations: the snobbish prince, the mean and not very clever dragon and one determined princess. The illustrations are playful with a dose of funny. Nicely done.

This is a miniature edition of Robert Munsch's The Paper Bag Princess and is part of the Annikin editions. It measures just 8.5 cm by 8.5 cm in size. My children LOVE these tiny books! They work well for their little hands. They are great for taking along on a trip in the car as they easily fit in a small purse or bag and weigh next to nothing.
If you are looking for other Annikin edition books, they generally cost around $2. Check the bibliographic data and check the dimensions listed for the book to be certain.

It's very very small - about 6cm by 6cm....still agreat story though
By Jamee Naylor 28 Oct 2010
I find it funny, its cute and small, and indeed for children. I would have liked the full blown size, but it will do. Please indicate the dimensions for the buyer next time.

This is a lovely story, and one that I remember fondly from my childhood. It subverts the normal archetypes, telling the tale of a princess whose castle is destroyed by a dragon that flies away with her prince. All her clothes having been burnt, she puts on a paper bag and follows the trail to the dragon's lair, where she outsmarts the dragon and rescues the prince. However, the snooty prince turns up his nose at her dirty appearance, leading to the princess to reply: "Ronald, your clothes are really pretty and your hair is all neat. You look like a real prince, but you are a bum." It still makes me laugh now.
It is quite a short and simple story but nicely written and with a full illustration alongside each page. The copy I am buying now is for my 4-year old cousin.
However, I didn't look at the details when I was buying, and was rather disappointed to find that this edition is TINY!! It measures 8.5 cm square, and cute as it is, does not feel like a 'real' book. So the price may be cheap, but be aware that this is the reason why - check the full product information.
Review quote
Lush and beguiling legends and gloriously gory descriptions... rich with color... will rivet all but the most squeamish readers.

The Highlight takes a few design liberties that reflect its entry-level image. It's a bit rounder and sleeker than many of its Samsung touch-screen brethren and it shows a pattern on its rear cover.At 4.27 inches tall by 2.11 inches wide by 0.54 inch thick, the Highlight a bit chunkier than some of its counterparts, but we welcome the extra girth. Indeed, it has a comfortable feel in the hand, and it fits easily in a pocket or bag. The display measures 3 inches, which is just on the edge of what we consider acceptable for a touch screen. However, for what it lacks in size, it makes up in resolution. The display shows 16 million colors (400x240 pixels), which results in bright colors, sharp photos, and vibrant graphics.
