It's essentially a mod for MW2. They changed the guns a little and made "new maps" (i.e. parts of old ones). How hard is it to include FOV and FPS adjustments? The back-end commands are already there, along with the console...
The reason they didn't include these things on PC is because they're lazy. Plain and simple. Since it wasn't there in MW2, it's not there in MW3. All the features are there to change these things. Just unlock the vars we want, that's all...
I'm surprised to hear you say MW3 is a good game. All my friends on 360 hate it, and they have gone back to Black Ops. One of my friends found that adding 200ms of lag to his connection actually
his hit registration in MW3. Tell me in what world that makes sense.
I've expected devs to make the PC version truly that "step up" from the console level for years and they have failed to deliver time after time, at least for the games I give a crap about. Valve is really the only true PC dev left IMO.
I like MW3 better than any of the CoD games, it works great on the 360 and it's a blast to play. Coworkers are huge fans and same for a lot of my friends. I spent a lot of time in Black Ops but with MW3 being more "common time", I prefer MW3. But who cares what I prefer around here.

Bonnaroo Stars 2013
by Cyndi Hoelzle | March 11, 2013
For four days in June, more than 80,000 "Bonnaroovians" descend on a 700-acre field in rural Tennessee, transforming the field (and the festival) into a crazy city unto itself. Now in its 13th year, Bonnaroo has become a rite of passage, both for the attendees and the performers. Rolling Stone dubbed it one of the Top 50 Moments in Rock and Roll, and The New York Times declared that it "revolutionized the modern rock festival."
One reason for all this praise: a profoundly diverse lineup. This year 150 performers will grace the affair's various stages, representing genres ranging from Americana to indie to rap to bluegrass to comedy to other stuff too hard to categorize. Headliners this year include Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Mumford & Sons, Wilco, Björk, R. Kelly, The Wu-Tang Clan, Pretty Lights, David Byrne, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Sam Bush and Del McCoury, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Dwight Yoakam -- and that's just scratching the surface. So whether you're making plans to join the party or just wishing you could, here's a playlist to help get your 'Roo on.

A connecting sleeve generally used for a bus bar connection is produced from an insulating elastic material, often an elastomer material, having insulating properties which are deteriorated by partial discharges and decrease over the operating time of the switchboard system. According to the invention, so-called partial discharge measuring methods must be carried out, inter alia also in the UHF range (UHF: ultra high frequency), in order to identify damaging effects on the insulating material in time. For the reliable and simple detection of the measuring signals, the connecting sleeve (M) has an outer, electroconductive surface (OA) which is earthed, and an inner, electroconductive surface (OI) to which the voltage potential of the bus bar (S) is applied, in addition to a coupling electrode (KE) which is integrated into the insulating material (I).
1. Connecting sleeve for a bus bar connection, having inner and outer electrically conductive surfaces, that is used to connect two switchboard sections of a gas-insulated switchboard system, wherein:
the connecting sleeve is an insulating, elastic material that is in the form of a tube;
the outer, electrically conductive surface of the connecting sleeve is grounded;
the connecting sleeve has a sensor in the form of a coupling electrode that is imbedded in the insulating material and electrically insulated from the inner and outer electrically conductive surfaces of the connecting sleeve; and
the connecting sleeve has a hollow center which encompasses the bus bar connection, and wherein the voltage potential of the bus bar is applicable to the inner, electrically conductive surface of the connecting sleeve.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a coupling sleeve for a bus bar connection as defined in the preambles of the Patent Claims, as well as to a gas-insulated switchboard system as set out in the preambles of the corresponding secondary claims, which incorporates such a connecting sleeve.
2. Description of the Related Art
In switchboard systems with gas-insulated switchboard sections or with other modules that are connected to one another through bus bar connections, exacting demands are imposed not only on the electrical contacts, but also on the gas seals themselves.
Within the area of the bus bar connection, it is customary to use a connecting sleeve that is of an elastic material, often an elastomer, which is in the form of a tube so as to enclose the bus bar in a reliable fashion and insulate it against the environment.
EP-A-1 111 748 describes a bus bar connection that is fitted with such an insulating connecting sleeve (manchon isolant).
However, the insulating properties can be degraded by partial discharges and can deteriorate during the operating time of the switchboard system. So-called partial-discharge measurements (TE measurements) must be made in order to ensure safe operation and before the system is put into operation so as to identify possible damage to the insulating material and so as to ensure installation that conforms to the relevant standards. In addition to methods that are base on optical and ultrasound principles, a usual method is electrical TE diagnosis (according to IEC 60270), in which the occurrence of partial discharges is monitored and recorded over time by using measuring sensors, which are also referred to a coupling electrodes, when the measurement signals obtained are subjected to intensive signal analysis. The signal analyses are completed in different frequency ranges that extend into the GHz ranges, which is to say into the UHF (ultra-high frequency) ranges. If signal analysis is completed in these ultra-high ranges, this is also referred to as UHF-TE diagnosis.
A UHF sensor (UHF coupling electrode) is usually integrated into a cast-resin part that is positioned in the gas chamber of the system in order to record the measurement signals. Or it is provided with a voltage take-off, by way of the bus bar.
These known measures entail the disadvantage that additional components with a not inconsiderable space requirement have to be built in, and this results in additional costs. In addition, in order to wire up the sensors and voltage take-offs, additional seals are needed to route the wiring out of the system. Furthermore, it is only possible to replace the sensors by entering the system gas chamber, and this makes additional gas work necessary.
For this reason, it is the objective of the present invention to propose a solution to these problems which permits reliable UFH TE diagnosis that is both safe and as simple as possible to be performed on a bus bar connection for gas-insulated switchboard systems.
This objective has been achieved by a connecting sleeve for a bus bar connection having the features set out in the Patent Claims, as well as by a bus bar connection and a gas-insulated switchboard system that is fitted with this, with the features set out in the corresponding secondary claims.
According to these, it is proposed that the connecting sleeve have an outer, electrically conductive outer surface that is grounded, and an inner, electrically conductive surface to which the voltage potential of the bus bar is applied; and in that the connecting sleeve incorporate a coupling electrode that is imbedded in the insulating material.
These measures result in a very reliable measurement system in which the sensor (coupling electrode) is located outside the system gas chamber, so that no gas work is required when the sensor is replaced. Given this configuration of the connecting sleeve and the arrangement of the sensors, the primary capacity of the coupling electrode for the bus bar is a function of the surface of the electrode and the distance to the inner conductive layer (the inner, electrically conductive surface). For this reason, the primary capacity can be very large without this affecting the dielectric strength of the sleeve. It is thus possible to achieve a high partial-discharge sensitivity of the sensor (coupling electrode).
Particularly advantageous configurations of the present invention are set out in the secondary claims.
According to these, it is particularly advantageous that the coupling electrode have a sensor surface that is tangential to the outer surface. This makes it possible to avoid a field increase occurring in the area of the electrode, since this would affect the UHF TE measurement.
In this connection, it is advantageous that the coupling electrode be so imbedded in the insulating material that the coupling electrode is insulated from the inner surface and from the outer surface, and that the coupling electrode have an edge area that is lined up so that it overlaps the outer surface, at least in part.
It is also a particular advantage if the coupling electrode is connected with a plug-type connector that is located in an opening that is surrounded by the insulating material. In this connection, it is also advantageous if the plug-type connector can be connected with a mating element; and that the opening be matched to the outside shape of this mating element to form a dust- and moisture-proof plug connection. These measures create a reliable connection possibility for measuring equipment, in particular for voltmeters and spectrum analyzers.
The present invention will be described in greater detail below on the basis of one embodiment shown in the drawings appended hereto. These drawings show the following:
There are bus bar tubes S in the gas containers of the two switchboard sections F1 and F2; one end of each of these extends from the gas container so that they can be connected to one another through the bus bar connection SK. To this end, the bus bar tubes S are coaxial to each other, and the ends of each of them extend from an opening that is sealed off by sealing rings (O-rings). All of the leadthroughs are located on a container support and are sealed by O-rings so as to prevent the egress of insulating gas. One bus bar tube S of the second switchboard section F2 (right-hand part of the drawing) extends further out of its opening than the corresponding part of the first bus bar tube (left-hand part of the drawing).
A connecting sleeve M extends around the bus bar ends (ends of the bus bar tubes S), and this is in the form of a tube and of an elastic insulating material I, preferably an elastomer. The sleeve M is secured to the outer wall of the switchboard sections F1 and F2 through flanges FL and encloses the parts of the bus bar that extend beyond the switchboard sections. The connection is electrically insulated from and protected against the environment by this sleeve M.
According to the present invention, the sleeve M has an inner conductive surface OI that is in electrical contact with the bus bar S so that its voltage potential is applied to this inner surface OI. In addition, the sleeve M has an outer surface OA that is also electrically conductive. This outside surface OA is grounded through the flange and the walls of the gas containers of the switchboard sections F1 and F2.
A sensor in the form of a coupling electrode KE is incorporated in the middle area of the connecting sleeve M In order to capture the measurement signals during TE UHF measurement. The coupling electrode KE is positioned in the insulating material I and is formed as a concave curved surface that is tangential to the outer surface OA. The coupling electrode can be of a conductive material or of a semiconductor plastic. A contact pin is attached to the coupling electrode KE, and this pin forms part of a plug-type connector that is positioned in an opening and so can be connected to measuring equipment through a matching plug (counterpart of the connection).
As can be seen, the coupling electrode KE itself is imbedded in the insulating material I, with the edge area R of the sensor surface of the sensor surface overlapping the outside surface OA of the sleeve M. The electrode KE is thus separated from the grounded outside surface OA by a thin layer of insulating material I. Because of this, and because of the tangential orientation of the sensor surface, there is no noteworthy increase of the field in the area of the electrode. This entails the advantage that the primary capacity of the coupling electrode for the bus bar S is a function of the sensor surface of the electrode KE and the distance to the inside surface OI. For this reason, the primary capacity can be very large without affecting the dielectric strength of the sleeve M. Because of this, it is possible to achieve great sensitivity of the sensor KE to partial discharge.
Contact with the sensor KE is made through the plug-type contact S1 that is positioned within an opening A in the sleeve M and thus forms a socket in which the plug S2 fits exactly and is dust- and water-proof. Since the sensor KE is accessible from outside and is also located outside the gas chamber, not only is it very simple to establish a measurement contact; it is also possible to effect any replacement of the sensor KE that may become necessary without any difficulty.
The system as a whole contains only a few inexpensive components. No additional seals of the like are required, and there is no requirement for additional space.
For this reason, the system that is proposed is well suited for use in gas-insulated switchboard systems. Other potential applications are possible, such as its use in power transformers and the like.

Afternoon Roundup: Strasburg throws, NFL labor mediation, and Hinrich punks Redick
- Strasburg throws a baseball at the Nationals spring training complex in Viera, Fla. today. (Photo: Associated Press)
We hope you've been enjoying the nice weather as much as this reporter has been enjoying the lull in the Brandon Banks and Albert Haynesworth stories. Remarkably, there are other newsworthy items involving D.C. teams this afternoon, and here's what's going on.
-Stephen Strasburg threw for the first time at Nationals spring training today, doing some very, very light tossing as he continues to recover from Tommy John surgery. Afterward, Strasburg met with the media and Adam Kilgore has a few quotes from that encounter.
-Last night, the Wizards closed the pre-All Star Break portion of their schedule just as they opened it, with a blowout loss to the Orlando Magic. But the night did have one moment of humor, as Kirk Hinrich managed to completely break J.J. Redick's ankles. The video is embedded for the enjoyment of Wizards fans, Maryland fans, and Duke haters below.
-The NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed to meet with a mediator in an effort to restart the moribund efforts to agree to a new CBA. A statement from the NFL Players Association reads, in full: "The NFLPA has always focused on reaching a fair Collective Bargaining Agreement through negotiations. We hope that this renewed effort, through mediation, will help the players and owners reach a successful deal."
-And finally, the Capitals' lineup for tonight's game against the Sharks (10:30 p.m., CSN) will once again not include Mike Green.

Do any of you create your Holiday decor around a theme? I have for the past several years. Last year my Christmas theme was red roses and tartan, the year before was a Country Christmas, and this year is Winter Wonderland (all silvers, sky/ice blue, white).
I'd love to share and exchange Christmas ideas with you.
I also just saw that Canadian tire carries them. Have you checked there yet?
The one on The Shopping Channel is a 7 foot, not 8. Sorry.
Here's the description.
7' Pre-Lit Canyon Fir Tree - 700 Lights
• 7' canyon fir tree pre-lit and 700 twinkling lights
• Available in green, height of 84" and weight of 52 lbs
• Easy to assemble
• Hinged metal stand flame resistant
The shopping channel has some really nice ones. They did a show today on 7 and 8 foot trees with pre strung lights. They were about $200.
Hope you find one.
Thanks ZZ. Beautiful decorating!
LIla, I just love your light fixture!!! And your Christmas decor is absolutely beautiful! I love your doorknob, so very cute~!
I did a similar small touch to my chandelier. I love to find new ways to do these small touches!
Mambo, that is truly spectacular. It's not hard to tell she put a lot of thought and work into that. I love how the boughs played off the wood. I would love to see more if you more pics.
I wish you could post bigger pics here.
Do you have any of your "blue" Christmas decor?
Last year I started far too early. I'd been saving all summer and fall and went on a shopping spree for red roses and tartan everything! LOL. I wanted to put it all up in October. hahaha... but I held off and didn't put it up until December 1st but by that time the energy had been burned and I took my time decorating. I loved how it looked.

Dr. Kumaravadivelu Abstract
Forging the future of language education: transforming the teaching Self
It is my contention that (a) language teachers can use their developing knowledge systems effectively only if they recognize the teaching Self that they bring with them to the classroom, and that (b) they can make sense of their own teaching Self only if they continually interrogate, understand, and transform their own identities. What is, however, complicating the (re)construction of the teaching Self is the on-going process of cultural globalization that is effectively challenging the traditional notions of identity formation of an individual or of a nation.
Taking these contentions as points of departure, I briefly outline in this talk two narratives of identity formation – modernism and postmodernism – and argue that a third – globalism – is fast emerging as a crucial factor in identity formation. I argue that the unfolding and the unfailing impact of globalilsm has a huge impact on the shaping of the teaching Self, and consequently, the practice of everyday teaching.

Now I understand why this book is so popular. It has an engaging hero and a quest and a love story and an evolving story of self-discovery and growth. The writing is so appropriate. The author has created a voice that is a marvelously transparent creation.
If you enjoy dystopian fantasy, this is a great book for you. It takes place in Panem which is what is left of the ruins of North America after a huge war. The government is housed in the Capitol which is a wasteful and shallow place and it is supported by twelve districts of poor and starving people who support the needs of the Capitol in return for not being killed. As a post-war condition, each district must send one boy and one girl to appear on an annual reality television show where the participants fight to the death. Our heroine, Katniss, volunteers to fight in order to save her sister. You won't be able to stop rooting for her as she navigates the game!
Science Fiction
6th grade and up
Not interesting really. Slow. Predictable. Too similar to Divergent. Katniss is basically Tris and vice versa. The movies were better.
Just as Sig had to make a choice between violence and passiveness, so to did Katniss in Suzanne Collin's The Hunger Games. While this novel is in a different genre, the parallels in the choices the characters had to make in order to survive are similar.
The concept of the book isn't particularly original — a nearly identical premise is explored in "Battle Royale," a wondrously gruesome Japanese novel that has been spun off into a popular manga series.
Nor is there anything spectacular about the writing — the words describe the action and little else. But the considerable strength of the novel comes in Collins's convincingly detailed world-building and her memorably complex and fascinating heroine. In fact, by not calling attention to itself, the text disappears in the way a good font does: nothing stands between Katniss and the reader, between Panem and America.
The Hunger Games isn't exactly a deep work of literature, but it is a fun, exciting adventure story with a cool, believable female hero. And a entertainingly bleak, dystopian world with just enough of a reflection of our own reality to be thought-provoking. And most of all, a media-savvy story of on-camera slaughter by a former television professional. Good stuff, check it out.
As negative Utopias go, Suzanne Collins has created a dilly. The United States is gone. North America has become Panem, a TV-dominated dictatorship run from a city called the Capitol. The rest of Panem is divided into 12 Districts (the former 13th had the bad judgment to revolt and no longer exists).
Het verhaal, vertaald uit het Engels, speelt zich af in de toekomst. Na een burgeroorlog is van Noord-Amerika het land Panem overgebleven, bestaande uit het welvarende Capitool met twaalf daaraan ondergeschikte districten, waarin veel armoede en onvrijheid heersen. In de jaarlijkse Hongerspelen moeten 24 kinderen, uit elk district een jongen en een meisje, strijden op leven en dood in een 'Big Brother'-omgeving. Katniss Everdeen (16, ik-figuur) uit het 12e, armoedigste district springt in de bres voor haar jongere zusje Prim wanneer deze wordt uitgeloot. Na een wat aarzelend begin krijgt het verhaal vaart in het tweede en derde deel. Het thema is gedurfd: een strijd op leven en dood tussen twaalf- en achttienjarigen, als vorm van vermaak. Wie is de slimste overlever? De auteur creëert een eigen begrippenkader dat zijdelings doet denken aan Harry Potter. Ze combineert overlevingstechnieken uit de traditie van Jean Auels prehistorische romans met ultramoderne technologie. Het slot lijkt voorspelbaar, maar is dat niet. Spanning, romantiek en het open einde maken de lezer nieuwsgierig naar het volgende boek in deze serie, 'De Hongerspelen II: vlammen'*.

Dominic Howard
My 12-year-old son is a budding rock drummer. The drummers who have had most impact on his excitement about drumming are Tré Cool and Dominic Howard. The latter, especially, has really ignited his passion for music and drumming over the past year.
Is there any reason why Howard, the brilliant drummer for Muse, is not listed among the greatest drummers? We took our son to see Muse in concert in Denver and were blown away by the world-class musical skills of Howard, Matt Bellamy and Chris Wolstenholme.

Feb 27, 2013 Comments Off on Dr. Carson: Obama Repeatedly Asked For Advanced Copies Of Speech Before Prayer Breakfast Jake Hammer
Excerpted from THE HILL: The White House repeatedly asked Ben Carson for his speech before the rising Republican star criticized President Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast earlier this month.
Carson, a prominent neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins University, declined to do so, noting that he doesn't put his speeches down on paper beforehand.
"I told them that I don't have an advance copy because I don't write out my speeches and I don't use teleprompters …they asked more than once … I gave them the [Biblical] texts around which the remarks would be framed … I said read those texts, the remarks will be framed around those … that should have told them something," Carson said in an interview with The Hill this week.
His speech attracted a lot of media attention, most notably a "Ben Carson for president" piece from The Wall Street Journal's editorial page. It also landed him on two recent Sunday political shows.
Many on the right championed the address, which appeared to make Obama uncomfortable and has been viewed on YouTube nearly 2.8 million times.
Liberals, including Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), criticized Carson for delivering a "political speech" during a religious event.
But the White House, which did not comment for this article, has not criticized Carson.
After Carson finished his remarks at the prayer breakfast, the usually loquacious Vice President Biden sat next to the physician but had little to say from that point on, Carson pointed out.
Carson, 61, chuckled as he recalled the lack of chitchat: "Later on, [Biden] said, 'Nice being with you.' "
And Carson said the president approached him after to say "he appreciated me being there and he admired me and shook my hand."
Carson, who is black, has emerged on the national stage as the GOP is attempting to improve its outreach to minorities. But most of that effort has focused on Hispanics, black Republicans say, adding that the party needs to do more to court the African-American vote.
Carson, a registered independent whose views are conservative, believes the "spirituality of the country is sick right now," and he didn't want to waste the opportunity with a "vanilla" speech.

Welcome to The Sampler Guild. With hundreds of members based here in the UK and throughout the world, the aim of The Sampler Guild (TSG) is to offer a forum furthering the research of sampler history, provide the next step-up from Cross Stitch, promote the preservation of antique samplers, continue the art of sampler making and most importantly, have lots of FUN!
Items above stitched by TSG member Marjan Kuyken
Hi - my name is Linda Hadden and I have been a sampler enthusiast for over thirty years. I became interested in the idea of starting a UK based Sampler Guild after the first time I met my good friend Kristy in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London some years ago. Kristy was visiting the UK from the USA and during our ensuing conversations, it became obvious that the UK had nothing like the USA and Canada to offer, in terms of a platform where fellow sampler enthusiasts enjoyed a common forum to share ideas and information.
The Sampler Guild developed from that chance meeting and all that has now changed...

The Kane Horseshoe League ended their season with their annual horseshoe picnic on Saturday Sept. 13 at the Kane Fish and Game Club. The picnic's tournament champs were Jeff Kinney and Mike Williams. The overall champions of the year were Bob and Bryan Olsen. Pictured above is Chris Wilson, league president, and Bob Olsen. Wilson is holding a perpetual plaque, made by league-member Ryan Swanson. The plaque was made in memory of Wilson's grandfather, and longtime league member, Ben Ishman.Â
The KHS boys' cross country team competed in last weekend's Ridgway Invitational shorthanded but the KMS boys finished third in the team competition as several Kane runners posted good times.
The Kane Tornado Pee Wees played two games against the Portville Panthers on Sept. 28 and won both contests.
In the first game of the day, the Kane Pee Wees won by a score of 20-12 behind three touchdowns by Dane Anderson. Anderson rushed for more than 100 yards against the Panthers in his big game. Brady Danielson provided the Tornado's other points when he tackled the Portville quarterback in the end zone for a safety. The Kane coaches were pleased with the team's play on both sides of the ball, especially Ethan Illerbrun, who had several nice runs and also recovered a fumble on defense.
The Kane Lady Wolves started out slowly in Saturday morning's loss to the Keystone Lady Panthers and it cost them in a 3-2 loss in Kane's Senior Recognition game. The visiting Lady Panthers had several good scoring opportunities during the first half but some nice saves by Kane goalie Daria Huckabone and a couple of shots that ricocheted off of the crossbar had the home team down only 1-0 at the half.
The Kane boys' soccer team honored the teams' six seniors prior to Saturday afternoon's game with Keystone. The Wolves sent the Senior Recognition crowd home happy with a 6-1 win over the Panthers.
Kane's offense had a number of good opportunities to score early, but the shots were either stopped by the Keystone goalie or missed wide. Senior Chris Cummings got the home team on the scoreboard about 10 minutes in when the senior stepped in front of a goal kick, slipped, somehow regained his balance and drilled the ball by the goalie for the 1-0 lead.
Senior kicker Dillon Mattis drilled a clutch field goal with eight seconds left in the game to lift the Kane Wolves to a thrilling 9-7 win over the Brockway Rovers Friday night at Paul R Miller Stadium.
The Wolves' homecoming game began in a downpour, and both teams struggled to move the ball. Brockway received the opening kick and moved backwards a few yards before punting to the home team. Kane returned the favor as a fumbled snap on second down led to a three-and-out.
BROOKVILLE – "If I had to sum up our match in a word, it would be 'perseverance,'" said Kane head varsity volleyball coach Judy Kessler following the team's road win over Brookville. "The girls never gave up on the match against the Brookville Raiders from beginning to end. We had leads that we kept and leads we gave away but we battled all night long for this win. Sometimes when you get in the hole two games, there's no getting out of it.
The Kane Wolves look to rebound from last week's 21-20 loss to the Ridgway Elkers tonight when they take on the Brockway Rovers. A battle of 4-1 teams would always be a big game but throw in the mix that it is the Wolves' Homecoming game, and that raises the stakes even more.
The Rovers opened up their season with lopsided wins over Smethport, Coudersport and Cameron County before ending their run against the AML North with a hard-fought 33-13 win over Otto-Eldred. Last week, coach Frank Zocco's team had their record blemished with a 28-17 loss to AAA Clearfield.
The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch soccer team handed the Kane Lady Wolves a 3-0 setback Thursday afternoon at the SMAHS soccer field.
The Lady Dutch took a 2-0 first half lead. They added another goal early in the second half.
"Overall we played a good possession game today," said St. Marys coach Eric Bridges.
"Our reserves played aggressively and helped us to keep possession of the ball," said Bridges.
"Kane impressed me with their 80 minutes of play. We were forced to fight hard for the 50/50 balls," added Bridges.
The Coudersport Falcons came to town on Thursday afternoon and handed the Kane boys' soccer team a 3-0 loss on the Wolves' home field. Coach Ernie Chamberlain's Wolves played well, but just couldn't find the back of the net despite more than a dozen shots on goal.
Kane's best chance of scoring early on came when goalie Michael Butterfield made a save and punted the ball way downfield where teammate Chris Cummings caught up to it and redirected it towards the goal. Falcons goalie Michael Chambers batted it away and scooped up the rebound before Cummings could knock it home.

Students, parents and community members all came out to a meeting last week at Bailey's Elementary to vote for the name of the school's new expansion campus.
The vote came as part of a deliberate effort by school officials to bring community voices into the plans for Fairfax County's first urban-design school. But from School Board members to school parents, some remain concerned that the outreach efforts are not extensive enough.
Communication with the public has proved a sticking point throughout the project, which will see a five-story office building on Leesburg Pike converted into a vertical-layout school. The renovated building will hold grades 3-5 from Bailey's, providing relief to the severely crowded Falls Church school. The school is currently at 130 percent capacity, with more than 1,300 students in a building designed to accommodate 1,024.
Before the school system purchased the property in December, several community members came before the School Board to express frustration with what they saw as a veiled decision-making process.
Others said they felt duped that the purchase and renovation of the office building would be funded by $20 million earmarked for construction of a new elementary school, not an extension of Bailey's.
As a result, FCPS administration is now trying to keep the community informed. Updates on the renovation are being posted on a project website, and members of the school community and surrounding neighborhoods are being asked for their input on the design and now on the name for the new campus.
At the meeting on March 19, the community came together to vote for the name.
"We did try to do as much outreach as we possibly could to make sure people knew this was going to happen and they could participate," said School Board member Sandy Evans (Mason) at a School Board meeting the next day. Evans represents the Mason District, which includes Bailey's.
School officials reached out to parents and local civic associations starting in early March, Evans said. And of the eight candidates for the name, three were suggested by students, three by the PTA and two by community associations.
Several rounds of voting narrowed the name choices to the top two: "Bailey's Upper Elementary School for the Arts and Sciences" and "Bailey's Elementary School for the Arts and Sciences - Thurgood Marshall Campus." In the final ballot, the former won out.
That name will now be voted on by the School Board at their next meeting on April 10.
Suzie Phipps, a Bailey's parent, applauded the vote at a School Board meeting the next night.
"What I saw was a process that was well thought out, thorough and allowed all members of our community, both parents and neighbors, to participate in the naming of our campus," Phipps said.
Still, despite the soliciting of community input, Stephen Spitz, a resident of Lake Barcroft who attended the meeting, took issue with yet another opaque procedure.
"We did not know who got to vote until less than 24 hours before the vote," Spitz said in front of the School Board. "Nobody knew in the broader community what the candidates were for the name until we got there. I find that very inadequate."
Spitz urged for further community discussion before the School Board comes to a final decision.
"As we move forward, I do have concerns that we're just transferring a name," School Board member Elizabeth Schultz (Springfield) said. "I would expect that there's going to be further discussion about community involvement. We want to make sure that the name for a building that is probably going to be here long after we're all gone has been carefully considered."

She was a cat made in Internet heaven.
The 2-year-old calico was sweet, and friendly, but there was something else rather unusual about her. She was born with a birth defect in her right paw, which mimicked the splift-fingered hand gesture made popular by actor Leonard Nimoy on Star Trek.
That certainly got the attention of members of the Atlanta Humane Society as they walked through the Fulton County Animal Services looking for animals to rescue.
So they named her Spock, and featured her on the homepage of AtlantaHumane.org. Within a week, news of the cat with the sci-fi foot went viral, inspiring geeky commentary and photo illustrations from Trekkies on Fark.com.
Soon after that, Spock found her forever home – fittingly, with a family of Star Trek fans, though this one had no idea about all the buzz.
Freelance photographer Hannah Wildner and her 14-year-old son Chas, had been traveling to the Atlanta Humane Society in search of a dog, but as cat lovers, made time to meet some of new feline friends.
"My son was walking by her cage, and she just kind of hopped down, and was like, 'Hey, take me,'" Wildner tells PEOPLEPets.com. "When we found out her name was Spock, my son thought that was really cool, but for my husband and me, it just clenched it because we're Star Trek fans. Our other cat is named Rebel Alliance."
As she settles into her new home, the Wildner family is finding that Spock has rather un-Vulcan-like traits. According to Wildner, the perpetually saluting kitty is friendly, happy and active, and not at all calculating or controlled. "She's just a little cuddle bug."
Her housemate Rebel Alliance, meanwhile, seems more closely related to the Star Trek character Spock, and she is none to happy about Spock the cat's presence.
"Rebel Alliance is very reserved, and she doesn't like to be held," says Wildner. "It's always on her terms. Rebel is top kitty. They'll have to figure out their social order just like siblings, but it'll work out."
The Wildners haven't squeezed Spock into any Star Trek costumes yet, but fans can follow her adventures on her new photo gallery, and pretty soon, everyone will be able to connect with Spock the Cat on her very own Facebook fan page.

Who actually develops Linux? The answer might surprise you February 3, 2014 at 11:00 am
If I tell you to think of an open-source project, the first word that probably comes to mind is Linux. Then, if I ask you what open-source actually means, you'd probably say something like: "Open source means everyone is free to use the code, and it's usually developed by lots of independent programmers, who contribute their work freely, to make the world/internet a better place." That's what I thought, too, until I read The Linux Foundation's annual report on the state of the Linux kernel. The report's findings may surprise you.
Linux 3.11 named Linux for Workgroups in odd homage to its archenemy Windows July 16, 2013 at 6:49 am
Ever the prankster, Linus Torvalds has paid homage to Windows 3.11 by naming Linux 3.11 "Linux for Workgroups." Tux, Linux's penguin mascot that appears during boot-up, is now holding a Windows flag (pictured above). This might seem a little odd, given Linux's reputation as the Windows antithesis, but Linux for Workgroups is actually one of Linux's saner names. Over the years, the Linux kernel has been lumbered with some amazingly undignified designations, such as Unicycling Gorilla, Erotic Pickled Herring, and Holy Dancing Manatees, Batman!
Linux is 20 years old today August 25, 2011 at 1:46 pm
What begun as "just a hobby" has grown into one of the largest and most important jewels in the open source crown.

I wonder if Tubb's gets suspended over this?
Saw it on TV during our half & it was more clear that he grabbed the mic on the headset, yanking it off. It is still in Tubbs' hand at the end of the motion. Still immature but not a slap.

Aug. 16, 2010
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- University of New Mexico men's basketball coach Steve Alford recently announced the Lobos' 2010-11 schedule. The back-to-back Mountain West Conference champion Lobos will face 10 teams during the season that advanced to the postseason in 2010 and will play in front of a national television audience at least 18 times. Currently UNM is still looking to add one more home game and has the possibility of more games being televised during the season. Schedule changes will be posted on GoLobos.com.
"This is Year 4 for us and this will be the most difficult schedule we've had at New Mexico," said Alford. "We have a lot of new, young guys on the team this season which is a cause for concern, but we need to continue to upgrade our non-conference schedule to be prepared for a tough conference season."
The Lobos will have the opportunity to show off the newly renovated Pit 17 times during the season, including two exhibition and seven non-conference games before jumping into the defense of their 2009 and 2010 MWC championship titles. The $60 million renovation is nearing final completion after over 16 months of work.
"Playing five to six BCS schools in the non-conference helps us in our preparation," said Alford. "We'll play our first nine games without (transfer) Drew Gordon before he becomes eligible at the end of the semester. That will give our young guys a great opportunity to get some experience."
The season will begin with two exhibition games against familiar programs to UNM and Alford. Local Division II opponent Eastern New Mexico will get the opportunity to play in the soft opening of The Pit on Nov. 3. It will be the first contest between the two schools since 2007. Manchester College, out of Indiana, will visit The Pit on Nov. 6. Alford's first head coaching job was at Manchester. He was 78-29 in four seasons (1991-95) with three appearances in the NCAA Division III national tournament. Manchester was the national runner-up in his final season with the program.
New Mexico will start the regular season against Detroit on Nov. 13, during a week-long celebration of the grand re-opening of The Pit. It will be the first meeting between the teams since 1989. 2010 National Invitational Tournament participant Arizona State will come to The Pit to play in front of a national television audience on Nov. 16 on VERSUS. The series with the Sun Devils dates back to 1931, but the teams have not faced each other since 1995.
The Lobos stay in the Pacific-10 Conference for a game on the road to California on Nov. 20. The Bears lost to Duke in the Second Round of the 2010 NCAA Tournament. UNM beat Cal last season, 86-78, in The Pit when the Bears were ranked No. 25 in the USA Today Coaches' Poll.
Thanksgiving weekend will wrap up with a visit to The Pit by San Diego. It will be the fourth season in a row that the Lobos and Toreros have met during the regular season. UNM has won the last three meetings, including last year's 82-78 win in San Diego.
December will start with the Lobos on the road for two games. Carbondale, Ill. is the destination on Dec. 1 as UNM faces Southern Illinois in the second annual MWC-MVC Challenge Series. It will be the first meeting between the two programs. Last year, the Lobos beat Creighton, 66-61 at The Pit, in the first challenge between the two conferences.
The Rio Grande Rivalry with New Mexico State will start in Las Cruces on Dec. 4 and move to The Pit on Dec. 11. The Dec. 11 match-up will be televised on The Mtn. UNM leads the series 110-94 and has won the last five meetings.
In between finals and the holiday break, New Mexico will squeeze in four games of the Las Vegas Classic from Dec. 17-23. Longwood (Dec. 17) and The Citadel (Dec. 19) will be the first opponents in The Pit before the tournament moves to Las Vegas. It will be the first meeting with The Citadel and the second with Longwood.
The tournament moves to the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Dec. 22-23. The Lobos will face Colorado on the 22nd with the opportunity to face 2010 Sweet 16 team Northern Iowa or Alford's alma mater, Indiana, on the 23rd.
After the holiday break, UNM will play three non-conference games before diving into the Mountain West Conference schedule. The Lobos travel to Texas Tech on Dec. 29 and head straight to Dayton for a meeting against the 2010 NIT champions on Jan. 1.
Division I newcomer Cal State Bakersfield will make their way to The Pit for the first time ever on Jan. 5. The Roadrunners became active members of Division I over the summer after a successful Division II men's basketball history.
The Lobos begin the climb to their third MWC championship with the 16-game conference schedule, with all 16 games televised on CBS C, The Mtn. or VERSUS. UNM will start on the road at Wyoming on Jan. 8 before returning home to host Colorado State on Jan. 12 and San Diego State on Jan. 15.
The following week puts UNM on the road at Utah on Jan. 19 and UNLV on Jan. 22. January will close out in The Pit with TCU on Jan. 26 and BYU on Jan. 29. The first half of conference action will wrap up at Air Force on Feb. 1.
The second round of conference action begins with Wyoming in The Pit on Feb. 9 before a road trip to Colorado State on Feb. 12 and San Diego State on Feb. 16. Utah visits The Pit on Feb. 19, followed by UNLV on Feb. 23.
The last road trip of the regular season sends the Lobos to TCU on Feb. 26 and BYU on March 2. The final home game of the 2010-11 season will be March 5 against Air Force.
The 2011 Mountain West Conference Men's Basketball Tournament returns to the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, March 9-12.

Hamed Haddadi has workout with New Orleans Pelicans
Aug 28, 2013, 10:11 AM EDT
The New York Knicks are looking for a little depth along the front line, but at this point in free agency the pickings get slim. Jeremy Tyler is going to get a look after playing with the Knicks Summer League team and averaging 12.8 points and 6.4 rebounds a game. However, the Knicks want a more veteran presence, too.
They worked out former Grizzlies' reserve and Iranian international Hamed Haddadi, but now he has worked out for the Pelicans too, tweets Jared Zwerling of ESPNNewYork.com.
Haddadi has size — he's a legit 7'2" and weighs north of 260 now. He spent four seasons on the Memphis bench but he was traded to Phoenix as part of the Rudy Gay deal last year. He's not part of the Suns plans so now he is a free agent. Haddadi struggled to get on the court in Memphis and Phoenix and while he finishes fairly well around the rim and is a solid rebounder, he doesn't bring a ton of other NBA skills to the table. Other than size.
The Pelicans are going to start Anthony Davis at the five and behind him they already have Greg Stiemsma and rookie Jeff Withey. New Orleans has a roster spot and you can't have enough depth along the front line, so they are taking a look at Haddadi, but I'm not sure about the need. Also, are they really going to offer more than the minimum (which is all the Knicks could offer)?
The Knicks need another big on the bench as insurance. We told you before Earl Barron got a workout and Zwerling notes he still hopes to get that job. However the Knicks are looking around and may wait into training camp to see who gets cut and may become available.

The Pellys need to give Jeff Withey a good try out with some decent minutes. Being third on the C depth chart will be hard, but if Haddadi or Barron do get picked up I hope it's just for bench insurance and they stay nailed to the pine, barring injuries.
- tjgrizz - Aug 28, 2013 at 11:05 AM
Hamed was great for the grizz, he is a fan favorite and can play when given a chance. Any team in the league should be happy to have Hamed as the 3rd C off the bench. Not to mention a great nickname: Hamed "Who's your Dadi"
- 00maltliquor - Aug 28, 2013 at 11:31 AM
Hammed's pic looks like a mug shot.
- midnite2020 - Aug 28, 2013 at 3:41 PM
why the hell should I care that ladi daddi or whomever the hell he is working out for the pigeons??
- casualcommenter - Aug 28, 2013 at 10:35 PM
Well, the article headline stated that a specific player – Hamed Haddadi – was working out for a specific team – the Pelicans.
The reason why articles have titles is to provide clues to readers about the article topic.

By now, you've probably noticed that you're never described as intelligent by people who know you.
There's a reason for that.

I am currently pursuing chaplaincy training and aim at becoming a Board Certified Chaplain by the American Association of Chaplains .
My view of the purpose of life is to serve others, I love the creation of God and the role assigned to all creatures--
"Even now all created things declare the glory of His excellence. There is nothing, save the selfish heart of man, that lives unto itself. No bird that cleaves the air, no animal that moves upon the ground, but ministers to some other life. There is no leaf of the forest, or lowly blade of grass, but has its ministry. Every tree and shrub and leaf pours forth that element of life without which neither man nor animal could live; and man and animal, in turn, minister to the life of tree and shrub and leaf. The flowers breathe fragrance and unfold their beauty in blessingto the world. The sun sheds its light to gladden a thousand worlds. The ocean, itself the source of all our springs and fountains, receives the streams from every land, but takes to give. The mists ascending from its bosom fall in showers to water the earth, that it may bring forth and bud" (Ellen G. White, Desire of Ages, pp. 20-21).
My greatest joy comes from my familia they are composed of a small nucleous of three sons and one daughter in law plus a bigger circle of sons and daughters by "spiritual adoption"...all of them bring me my greatest joys in life!!!

Aug. 17, 2005
INDIANAPOLIS - Recent Xavier University graduate and four-year women's tennis standout Lauren Clary has added another honor to her long list of achievements as the Terre Haute, Ind. native earned the National Collegiate Athletic Association's 2005 Sportsmanship Award. Clary represented the Atlantic 10 Conference on the national ballot after claiming the A-10's Sporting Award on May 19.
Clary is just one of six student-athletes in the nation to be honored as the Committee on Sportsmanship and Ethical Conducted selected one male and female student-athlete for each division. The NCAA Sportsmanship Award It honors student-athletes who, through their actions in the competitive arena of intercollegiate athletics, have demonstrated one or more of the ideals of sportsmanship, including fairness, civility, honesty, unselfishness, respect and responsibility.
In Clary's nomination to the NCAA, Xavier head coach Jim Brockhoff stated "Lauren exemplifies the term student-athlete because of her commitment to doing things the right way whether it is on the tennis court or through her extensive involvement in the community." Some of the community activities in which Clary has been involved include running in the Chicago Half Distance Marathon to raise money for the Terre Haute Self-Sufficiency Dental Fund as well as her volunteer work at the Rape Crisis and Abuse Center of Hamilton County.
Clary is a four-time All-Conference selection. She was the 2002 Atlantic 10 Performer and Rookie of the Year, becoming just the third player ever to win both awards in the same season. The Musketeers' all-time leader in singles and doubles wins, she ended her career with a 115-25 record in singles and a mark of 103-27 in doubles with all of those matches coming at the No. 1 position.
She graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor's degree in psychology in May and was a three-time Atlantic 10 Student-Athlete of the Year in women's tennis (2003, 2004, 2005), becoming just the second person in A-10 history to earn three Student-Athlete of the Year awards in a single sport since the award was instituted at the start of the 1999-2000 season. Later this month Clary will head to St. Louis to attend Saint Louis University to pursue her doctorate in psychology.

HARRAH, Okla. – The unseasonably cold weather in Oklahoma could be taking a toll on a summer tradition.
James Spencer is the owner of Spencer's Orchard & Greenhouses in Harrah.
"The hot summer days and bright sunshine make some of the sweetest peaches," he said.
Spencer has been growing peaches for the last 50 years.
Many come to his orchard every summer to pick their own fruit and buy his flowers.
A late cold snap is raising concerns for orchard owners across the state.
"It was down to 18 degrees the night before last," Spencer said.
Many people have been worried that the freezing temperatures will hurt the peach crop for the coming summer. Spencer said his trees are doing just fine.
"There's still plenty to have a good crop," he said.
Spencer's orchard has seen about 20 percent of its trees affected by the late frost.
The cold killed the few flowers that had already bloomed but many of the buds that have not opened yet are safe.
Ryan Lawson is the newest worker at Spencer's Orchard & Greenhouses.
He isn't concerned about the recent weather.
"Every year comes with a new situation at hand," he said. "Usually [James] keeps tight control over things. Whenever he worries, that's when it's time to worry and he's never worried!"
It only takes about 10 percent of a crop of peaches to make a bountiful harvest.
Those numbers help ease some of the stress of growing an orchard in a state where the weather has a mind of it's own.
"The old adage rings true, 'patience is a virtue,'" Lawson said. "You just can't jump the gun on these issues whenever a freeze comes and worry about the trees because what's the use in worrying until you actually see the results at the end."
As for Spencer, he's looking forward to this summer's crop.
"I just enjoy watching them bloom and having the good sweet peaches."
Spencer's Orchard & Greenhouses has been family-owned and operated since the 1960s.
You can buy produce at the farm from June through August.

It seems like everyone on American Idol (Katherine and Ruben, to name a few) has body issues, including it's newest teen queen, Jordin Sparks. The winner recently revealed that her stint on the hit show helped her learn to love her voluptuous frame. At 5'10" tall and wearing a size 12, she "stood out everywhere" in her pre-Idol days, and envied her tinier friends, wondering "why can't I look like that?"
But her grandmother says that her Idol success has "really helped boost her self-esteem and made her realize she's beautiful as she is." Tall is beautiful! Just ask puny runner-up Blake – I'm sure he wouldn't mind stealing a couple of inches.
It's a good thing that she has embraced her body, because a former vocal coach has come forward to call Jordin out on her voice. Though she writes on the Idol website that her she's never had formal training, Melissa Black claims otherwise. "Jordin was just 14 years old when she studied with me in 2004… We were together for nine months of intense vocal work."
Black says she was "hurt for a week" by the snub. Sounds like someone else needs to do a little work on her self-esteem. Melissa, listen to us, you're beautiful as you are – with or without credit for Jordin's skills!

No one expects it to happen. You're careful with financial information, so how could someone steal your identity? The truth is, identity theft requires very little information -- just a name, Social Security number and birth date. Armed with a few facts, thieves can apply for a credit card, obtain a loan, purchase a car or look for a job -- all in your name.
Where do thieves get financial information? Here are some common tactics:
If you become a victim, you typically don't have to pay for anything charged by an identity thief. But you have to restore your credit and ensure all fraudulent accounts are closed. That can be time consuming and expensive. If you think your identity has been stolen, inform the three major credit bureaus so a fraud alert can be placed on your account. That way, no new credit will be issued without first contacting you.
Also file a report with the police in case a creditor wants proof of the crime. And file the Federal Trade Commission's ID Theft Affidavit, which advises many companies and organizations about the theft.
To Help Guard Against Identity Theft, Follow These Four Steps:

John Osborne's Look Back in Anger sent crowds of inspired Britishers to their typewriters. Osborne invented the Angry Young Man: his Jimmy Porter rants about the evil in everybody--especially the upper class. Arnold Wesker takes up the topic of class conflict in Chips With Everything. He pushes a well-meaning aristocrat into a group of peasants and concludes that amalgamation isn't possible. The hero of Little Malcolm and His Struggle Against the Eunuchs has Jimmy Porter-like qualities -- he knocks the Establishment, he bruises his dearest friends, he demands to be idolized.
But David Halliwell, the playwright, gives the character a new twist. He shows in some tremendously comic episodes that his hero is a power-hungry Hitler because he's afraid he really has no power at all. Malcolm has a hard time just getting out of bed in the morning. And he has an even harder time screwing up his courage enough to accept advances from the girl he likes. Kenny McBain's production (he directed the show and played the title role) implied that hesitancy with Ann Gedge and ensuing self hatred were what spurred Malcolm on to power politics. He became the Leader of the Dynamic Erectionist Party in place of seducing the lady.
Halliwell exhibits satiric and sympathetic attitudes toward his characters, and the actors took advantage of it. James Hoare (playing Dennis Charles Nipple) delivered a magnificent speech about the lay of his life-time. She was, according to him, a dark-skinned sensuous-lipped lady who tore his clothes off. Hoare gave absurdity its due: he relished his prose almost as much as he relished the illusive charmer. But when he stood before a tribunal consisting of his pals--they gave him the choice of pleading Guilty or Very Guilty--he dropped all rhetoric, became a madman in a circle of worse madness. A ludricous, touching performance.
John Pym played the goodhearted dimwit Irwin Ingham. He too, though he's the only first-rate comedian at Harvard, did more than grub for laughs. At first you noticed the variety of expressions he used to convey dimwittedness. And how perfectly his baggy pants suited his clumsy movements. But Pym is indefatigable. At the end, when he confessed the skepticism he'd felt all along about Party success, benevolence toward his Leader radiated from his muddled face. His companion, Prentiss Claflin, wasn't as whole a man. Still, considering that he was on book for an ailing member of the cast, he donated funny bits. Francine Stone (Ann Gedge) was the only disappointment.
And Kenny McBain (Malcolm) was superb. He sulked, raged, spoke nonchalantly of impossible exploits. Occasionally he displayed an earnestness at once irrestible and absurd. Other times he sat on his throne, demanding obeisance yet remaining withdrawn. His final cry--"I can't even believe in my own fantasies"--confirmed the rightness of his characterization. The cry was a surprise, but after it came you felt you'd expected it all along.
McBain was equally happy as director. All his actors held their own while the play pursued its lively path. Larry Gage's set was appropriately scrawny, and his lighting--with the aid of the gridding and an electric fan--appropriately bizarre. Costumes looked as though they'd been worn before, unlike the cardboard casements often displayed on the mainstage.
Too bad you missed Malcolm.
