WEDNESDAY, April 10 (HealthDay News) -- Life expectancy of people with aggressive brain cancer may be easier to determine with a new method under development at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, researchers say.
The UAB researchers found that patients with an overactive version of a specific enzyme live less than half as long as those with a less active version. This overactive enzyme can help predict how resistant the brain cancer will be to chemotherapy, and also help doctors arrive at treatment recommendations, the researchers said.
In conducting the study, published April 10 in the journal PLoS ONE, the researchers examined tumors from 84 patients with a form of brain cancer known as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). This deadly and aggressive cancer quickly becomes resistant to available treatments. With a combination of surgery, radiation and the chemotherapy drug temozolomide, patients with this form of brain cancer typically survive an average of 12 to 15 months.
The study revealed, however, that 25 percent to 30 percent of the patients whose tumor cells had an overactive version of an enzyme known as cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) live less than half as long as patients with a less active version.
"Our study reports for the first time the role of [CcO] as a prognostic marker in GBM patients' tumor tissues," study leader Corinne Griguer, an associate professor of neurosurgery in the UAB School of Medicine, said in a university news release. "High CcO activity comes with a 25-fold increase in risk of death."
The researchers said patients with the overactive enzyme lived for an average of six months. Those with a less active version lived for 14 months. Examination of a second group of glioblastoma multiforme patients from Europe confirmed their findings, the researchers said.
They concluded that tumor cells with increased CcO activity generate more energy and are more resistant to ch

Facebook, Apple, Comcast, China, Saudi Arabia & Iran vs. an Open & Free Internet.
Do you support an open & equal-access internet? Because it's endangered.
Netflix's CEO calls out Comcast for creating an illegal, tiered system of access to the internet:
"Comcast no longer following net neutrality principles," Hastings wrote on his personal Facebook page. "Comcast should apply caps equally, or not at all."
"For example, if I watch last night's SNL episode on my Xbox through the Hulu app, it eats up about one gigabyte of my cap, but if I watch that same episode through the Xfinity Xbox app, it doesn't use up my cap at all," Hastings explained.
"The same device, the same IP address, the same wifi, the same internet connection, but totally different cap treatment," he added. "In what way is this neutral?"
While the dispute between content delivery networks may appear relatively minor to some, it is actually indicative of a broader fight over the free and open Internet. The brewing dispute between cable providers and Netflix, along with many bandwidth intensive services, is leading to a "Balkanization" of the Internet, according to Google co-founder Sergey Brin….

And, Sergey Brin of Google calls out Apple, Facebook…and Iran, China, and other governments who would suppress the use of the internet by We the People.
"There are very powerful forces that have lined up against the open Internet on all sides and around the world," Brin was quoted as saying. "I am more worried than I have been in the past. It's scary."
Of course, Google (along with Bing, Yahoo, Apple) has itself allied with China, and other governments in the past, to allow censorship of such words, ironically, as "freedom" and "independence."

Camarillo woman struck by car backing out of driveway
A Camarillo woman was hospitalized with injuries to her legs Thursday after being hit by a vehicle that was backing out of a driveway.
Police said they were told of the accident at 3:03 p.m. in the area of Gitana Avenue and Camarillo Springs Road.
Police said a 94-year-old Camarillo man was backing out of a driveway when his vehicle hit the 75-year-old woman.
After hitting her, the vehicle continued to travel in reverse, hitting a carport across the street as well as a gas line, authorities said.
Crews were able to turn the gas off without having to evacuate the area.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A 46-year-old Mexican national was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for re-entry after deportation, possession of a firearm and making a false statement following a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)-led investigation.
According to the charges and other court records, Fausto Jaimes-Santibanez, of Lake Worth, Fla., was involved in shooting where a mechanic was seriously injured. He was identified as the shooter by eye witnesses.
Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputies located and arrested Jaimes after a search of his home revealed a loaded semi-automatic 0.22-caliber Ruger handgun wrapped up in his shirt with one round in the chamber and eight in the magazine. A box of 0.22-caliber ammunition and three additional rounds were found in Jaimes' truck and pockets respectively. The investigation revealed that the mechanic was shot with a 0.22-caliber firearm.
Jaimes made a false statement to the deputies by claiming U.S. citizenship. He denied being the shooter, but admitted to possessing the weapon, reloading the weapon after the shooting, and making an agreement with someone else to shoot the victim.
ICE investigation confirmed that Jaimes was removed from the United States on three occasions: April 18, 1994, April 22, 1999 and Nov. 4, 2003. He will be deported again after completion of his sentence.
He was charged with possessing a firearm while an alien unlawfully in the United States, reentry after deportation and making a false claim to U.S. citizenship.
On Nov. 14, 2008, Jaimes entered guilty plea to all three offenses pursuant to a plea agreement before U.S. District Judge Kenneth Ryskamp.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney A. Marie Villafana.

Program Seminars
The Program has organized several seminars and journal clubs that enable students to interact and exchange ideas.
Research in Progress
Held monthly, these sessions are present by two more senior students who summarize their research for the group. (See this document for schedule.)
Journal Club
Organized by students, the purpose of this club is to enable scientific students to understand their role as physician-scientists in translating basic research into health-related issues.
Bedside to Bench: Seminars in Pediatrics
In order to have students in all years think about their careers as physician scientists, and to provide role models among active clinicians who also conduct basic research, we have organized a series of seminars in pediatrics. The purpose of the seminars is to help students begin to understand how interesting questions derived from patients can help them learn more about biologic and pathologic processes. They are encouraged to muse over the questions or issues that have not have not been studied, and think about how they might address these questions, which center on a patient's disease process.
Cell Biology: CBIO 601a/b, Molecular and Cellular Basis of Human Disease - Fred Gorelick, Marcus Bosenberg, James Jamieson, and staff.
The course emphasizes the connections between diseases and basic science using a lecture and seminar format. It is designed for students who are committed to a career in medical research, those who are considering such a career, or students who wish to explore scientific topics in depth. The first half of the course is organized in four- to five-week blocks that topically parallel CBIO 502a/b. Examples of blocks from past years include
"Diseases of protein folding" and "Diseases of ion channels." Each topic is introduced with a lecture given by the faculty. The lecture is followed by sessions in which students review relevant manuscripts under the supervision of a faculty mentor. The second half of the course focuses on the relationship of basic science to disease processes while emphasizing translational and clinical research. In addition, sessions are devoted to academic careers and cover subjects such as obtaining an academic position, promotions, and grant writing. The course is open to M.D. and M.D./Ph.D. students who are taking or have taken CBIO 502a/b. Student evaluations are based on attendance, participation in group discussions, formal presentations, and a written review of an NIH proposal. The course runs from September to mid-May and is equivalent to three graduate credits. Thursday 5–6:30.

lol. I thought at first that, knowing how hard your puzzles usually are, after g8=R with the B on f8 that there was no way to maneuvre the B and Rs into their target positions but then I noticed that another piece could block the check. Thought it was a simple puzzle.
this is where i've got to WIll try the maneuvering later dont know if its possible
Yes, it is harder if you can only promote on b8. Here's a hint though if you feel like it (highlight to read): You don't have to play exf6 with black early. Maybe it is best to wait until it is necessary.
Anyone is still trying to solve my previous 3# puzzle? it is quite hard. I will otherwise post the solution much later today as I get back from work.
dont post the solution of puzzle 3 plz plz plz. i am working very hard on it and i am almost there.
I was on other topics and I found one puzzle on how long do you take to find this mate in one by Tantale and there was a mate in one and I thought: was it possible? here it is:
Tantale said not to post the answer so don't post the answer!
Special thanks to Tantale!
Yes, it's a "trick" puzzle :P
I will post the solution to my own puzzle:
Regarding puzzle 3#, any further progress on that one?
Switching the rooks isn't easy. For this particular maneuver, you need to find a way to block the white rook from checking the black king. But how can this be done? does white have any piece that can interfere with that check?
I give up. No use posting half-hearted solutions. I guess its ur turn shoopi...
Alright. The really tricky trick is to use the white king in order to switch up the rooks - white rook getting to e2 (you need the white king to prevent the rook from checking the black king), then the black rook gets behind it, then the white rook gets back and viola! the switch is complete. Proof game below (watch move 51 onward for the critical maneuver):
New positions coming up.
First one is a composition by einstein_69101, second one is a composition by myself. Possible or impossible?
Second one is impossible. How could 2 rooks be on the 1st rank adjacent?
Yeah, but that's not the final position expressed in the puzzle originally, so still impossible.
Puzzle 2 is indeed impossible see position below
After Black plays gxh2 in that setup (the only way to get a promoted Rook on g1, White is stuck: no pawns can be pushed to alter the position and the remaining piece is pinned. Now bite me and prove me wrong as always
Hm... What if there was another knight on f1, like this:
Yes but in order for the c7-pawn to reach h2 White had to sacrifice 5 mens (excluding Bishops since they could never get out of that pawn formation), two Rooks, a Queen, a Knight and the h-pawn. I would liked a scenario like this however...
The first position in #151 is possible:
and viola! the switch is complete.
Correct, solved!
Still awaiting sentence for the second puzzle... good luck.

A Denver-based oil company has pleaded guilty to violating federal law in the deaths of migratory birds in fluid pits at the company's oil and gas drilling facilities in Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska and has been fined $22,500.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Montana said SM Energy Co. pleaded guilty Wednesday one misdemeanor count of violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act in each state.
U.S. Magistrate Carolyn Ostby also placed the company on probation for a year and ordered it to make a $7,500 payment to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
The case dates back to 2005, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service documented deaths of a dozen migratory birds at uncovered open fluid pits at Nance Petroleum sites in Wyoming. Nance later become an SM Energy subsidiary.

the reconcilier
By Diogenes (bio - articles ) | Jun 26, 2004
On the Touchstone blog, contributor S.M. Hutchens gives us a deft portrait of an all-too-recognizable figure.
... the ever-smiling bishop of beneficent visage, the open-minded, open-armed, blessing-filled aristocrat of smooth lips and perfect control -- a master of prevarication and double meaning, who could preach to an audience of naive traditionalists and knowing liberals and please them all, the traditionalists because they took him at his word, the liberals because they took his meaning.
Hutchens's model was taken from the Episcopal Church. Most of us (if we substitute "administrator" for "aristocrat") can find specimens closer to home.

Ukraine PM resigns, government offers concessions

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — In back-to-back moves aimed at defusing Ukraine's political crisis, the prime minister resigned Tuesday and parliament repealed anti-protest laws that had set off violent clashes between protesters and police.
The two developments were significant concessions to the anti-government protesters who have fought sporadically with police for the last 10 days after two months of peaceful around-the-clock demonstrations.
The protests erupted after President Viktor Yanukovych turned toward Russia for a bailout loan instead of signing a deal with the European Union and have since morphed into a general plea for more human rights, less corruption and more democracy in this nation of 45 million.

Standardized testing of all kinds — such as the ACT and SAT tests, college level Scantron bubble sheets, and other across-the-board testing applications — are not yet fading out as common practices. They are still schools' ultimate gauges of student success.
But alternative, additional formats are cutting their way into the classroom.
This stands not only as relief to college students such as myself, but as a practical solution to preparing students for the real world.
This week is finals week for many colleges and universities. While most of my friends have their heads stuck in textbooks, cramming and memorizing and stressing out, I have the opportunity to show my professor what I've learned without filling in a single bubble, guessing A through E, or writing long formal essays in quiet classrooms filled with nervous tension.
This semester, I took a class called Creativity at Grand Valley State University. The course description was: "an examination of the creative process across disciplines," or something like that. I expected to sit through a series of lectures on people who have done extraordinary things who cannot exactly share their secretive, mysterious processes, because their genius puts them out of the range of averagely ambitious people.
But that wasn't the case. To the contrary, we learned that although the creative process is not easily defined in simple terms, and there are no concise parameters, everyone has the potential to do creative work and carry that spark in their own individual way. And throughout the semester we have been tested on this through creative activities.
This week, there is no exam. Instead, we are doing what we have done all along: creating something meaningful that not only represents our learning, but actively puts that learning directly into practice. It allows for retention of the material we've discussed, the work we've done and the lessons we've learned — all of which cannot be synthesized into an exam format.
The creative process, as it cannot be precisely defined, also cannot be computed and graded to a statistical fine point.
The creative process is especially important in schools. And yet, when students are taught to the test, creativity — a valuable asset in the social, academic and business world — is shut off. The education system has not yet found a solution to keeping that flame lit without deliberately pitching a pail of water over it and dousing the encouragement students need to be successful — not just as statistical entities, but as people.
Fortunately, in some realms that is changing.
I recently had the opportunity to meet Sir Ken Robinson, who gave his popular TED talk based on his book "The Element" at Grand Valley's Fieldhouse. He is a world-renowned leader in transforming the education system. He emphasizes the importance of talent, passion and imagination as the pivotal forces for learning, and acknowledges that schools have a way of stamping this out of students at an early age.
Robinson writes in his book, "One of the principal effects (of standardized tests) is to discourage innovation and creativity in education, the very things that make schools and students thrive."
Testing is just one of those pieces to the system which fails to allow students to embrace their individuality and pursue their passions. The grading system as determined by rigorous final exams is the most obvious and disappointing factor.
Our Creativity professor recently shared with us a highly unorthodox approach to transforming the nature of grading students in an article published in The Chronicle of Higher Education. Jeffrey R. Young wrote the story, titled "Grades Out, Badges In," which illustrates the potential advantages to incorporating a badge reward system into student assessment.
Badges, familiar to Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts (as well as video gamers, which inspired this idea), could reward students based on more specific areas than an entire course. Such a system could also reward them for mastering "soft skills not usually measured at all in college courses, like teamwork or asking good questions," as the article puts it.
The importance of improving these areas lies largely in the global issues we now face in the 21st century. The economy, the environment, technologies and culture are shifting much faster than schools are yet able to. Companies like Apple and Google are innovating way beyond the potential of schools to train students to think in the innovative ways which create such products.
The changing nature of the world outside the halls of academia brings all the more necessity for the system to change within.
Robinson explains, "The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn't need to be reformed — it needs to be transformed."
I hope that transformation begins to happen more rapidly, because I honestly feel sorry for my roommates cramming cursory facts into their minds for the sole sake of this week's exams, while I sit here and happily write this article.
And I hope that by the time we graduate, when we enter that world with all its challenges, we'll have all had a class that encourages us to be creative, rather than requiring that we simply shut up and chug right along with a No. 2 pencil.

PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA) — Whose concerns are more important – the people who eat at restaurants or the people who own them?
For the first year, you'll have to go to a website to find out how an eatery does in its annual inspections, if the board of health's latest plan goes through without changes.
But public comment to this proposal could change things. CSPI staff attorney Sarah Klein has been involved in this and talked with Rose and Paul during the KDKA Afternoon News.

"A rainy Manchester day seems greyer than any other, the roofs seen from the hotel windows look wetter, the houses more sombre." Thus opens Chapter Four of Richie Benaud's A Tale of Two Tests. Then came August 1, 1961. On that day, Manchester, for Australians in general and Benaud in particular, was simply heavenly.
Not that anyone saw it coming, least of all Benaud. Australia's captain was in no sort of form. He'd spent most of the tour in pain, sometimes excruciating, mostly the nagging sort that deprived his bowling of "zip". At the very outset, at Worcester, he ripped a tendon at the top of his right shoulder, potentially crippling for a wrist-spinner. He recovered sufficiently to toss up in the drawn first Test at Edgbaston, only for the shoulder to "go" again, causing him to miss the next at Lord's.
Led by Neil Harvey, Australia won the so-called 'Battle of the Ridge'. Benaud returned at Headingley, as did Peter Barker Howard May. Captaining England for the first time since an ulcer truncated his Caribbean tour in early 1960, 'PBH' emerged immeasurably the happier. Fred Trueman and his mojo were in complete and irresistible harmony; on a pitch John Arlott derided as a "dusty freak", the Yorkshire maverick cut his run, dipped into his bag of tricks and pulled out his secret weapon: a devilish off-cutter. In the first innings Australia lost their last eight for 50 (Trueman 5-16 in five overs); in the second they were even feebler, losing their last eight for 21 (Trueman 6-4 in 45 balls, including Harvey, Norm O'Neill, Bobby Simpson, Ken Mackay and Benaud without conceding a run). It was all over by the third evening. All-square with Old Trafford looming – not the most welcome sight for baggy green eyes.
For Australians, Lancashire had long been synonymous with agony and misery. Not since 1902 had they won an Ashes Test there. The 1938 Test was abandoned without a soul taking guard; even Don Bradman's flame was doused – in four innings his peak was 30. Then, in 1956, came the biggest chiller of all – Jim Laker's n-n-n-nineteen.
The last week of July 1961 brought no respite. The final day of the fourth Test had barely begun and Australia, to all intents and purposes, were up a creek and paddle-free. Trailing by 177 after an innings apiece, they were buoyed by Bill Lawry's second hundred of the rubber ("worth at least the Military Cross" reckoned Alan Davidson) and resumed on 331-6, but added just three as David Allen's off-breaks whisked out Mackay, Wally Grout and Benaud. Given the presence of May, Ted Dexter and Ken Barrington in the home camp, the lead, 157, appeared perilously paltry.
Davidson, whose formidable all-roundedness would take nearly five decades to replace, was joined by Graham "Garth" McKenzie, a nerveless maiden tourist. Encouraging the rangy young quick to give it a go, "Davo" climbed into anything driveable: 20 were clouted off one Allen over, climaxed by a six into the railway wall; Mackay was "amazed the ball didn't burst". The last pair piled on 98, swelling the target to a considerably more demanding 256 in 230 minutes. Upon returning to the dressing room, attested Harvey, Davidson was "mobbed".
This, though, was shaping up as Dexter's Test. He'd already taken six wickets, his most productive Test with the ball; now he regaled spectators and viewers with perhaps the most vivid demonstration yet of his clean-hitting brand of buccaneering orthodoxy.
Sauntering in at 40-1, England's lordly No.3 lost no time in opening his shoulders and showing his officer class. In 84 minutes of controlled mayhem in consort with the more sedate Raman Subba Row, he struck 76, 62 in boundaries. "He was in a murderous mood," Mackay would recollect, "and when he is like that no one can touch him." Never had the artist otherwise known, sardonically, as 'Slasher' seen an Australian attack "flayed like that". Hailed by Benaud as "one of the best short innings I have ever seen", there was "no margin anywhere" for error.
Perversely, this worked to Australia's advantage. Ludicrously, some England players, betraying the conservatism of the age, would blame Dexter for what ensued.
It was a cool, cloudy afternoon, but still Benaud called for drinks. "I wanted a break to regroup. I had a very quick team meeting in the centre of the ground to tell them that, thanks to Ted, there was no way we could now draw the game, it was a case of win or lose."
At that juncture, there was only one winner, much to May's unease. To him, the target had been unattainable: "Short of a miracle, it was unrealistic to consider it seriously on that pitch." Dexter's onslaught changed all that. "We had to go on," May would acknowledge, the sense of obligation quaint. He also knew that if Benaud could break the second-wicket stand, the rest of the batsmen would be in a bind, "honour-bound to press on but having to take chances on a worn pitch and without time to settle in". Honour-bound? Fifty years is assuredly a long time in cricket.
Before every session and during every break, Benaud had been having "exercise treatment"; each time the shoulder felt better, stronger, more supple. Confidence was "creeping back". Being a popular leader was a further boon: he inspired complete trust. This was due in no small measure, scorer Jock Cameron told Gideon Haigh in The Summer Game, to his literal approach to one-for-allness. "Richie had a rule that if we were given anything, there had to be twenty-one of them. For instance, Remington offered him an electric razor and a typewriter but he made sure we all got them." Indeed, Benaud had set the tone on the outbound voyage aboard the Himalaya, splashing out his entire £50 captain's tour allowance on a team party.
One memory of England's last Ashes tour, in 1958-59, moreover, was buzzing away. Seeing the craters left by Trueman's footmarks outside the right-hander's leg stump reminded him of the MCC-Australian XI match in Sydney: aiming for Trueman's imprints, Tony Lock bowled his left-arm slows over the wicket to devastating effect, winning the match. With Dexter in full flow, emulating Lock – ie, as a right-armer, going round the wicket – was a massive risk. Benaud was desperate enough to take it.
As 4pm approached, tea beckoning, England needed 106 at a run a minute and Benaud had sent down 17 fruitless overs. Then, in his second over from that new angle, he defused Dexter: champing at the bit after five dot balls, Milan's foremost contribution to cricket cut at the sixth, a top-spinner, and Grout snaffled the edge. Here, indubitably, was affirmation of everything Benaud had ever felt about the margin separating glory from ignominy: "If that ball had spun another quarter of an inch or even landed on the seam, it would have missed the edge…and England would have been lionised the next day."
The captains' duel was brief and utterly one-sided. Attack, for Benaud, was the sole option: "It was no good trying to keep May quiet." Landing on leg stump, the first ball was patted back. The chastened bowler scolded himself: "Get it further out, you idiot." The next found the footmarks; fresh from a commanding first-innings 95 but hamstrung by strategic uncertainty, May, unconvincingly, swept with a vertical bat; the ball nipped back behind his pads and kissed leg stump. For "a terrible fraction of a second" Benaud was as bemused as May, who awaited the official verdict, but when his downfall was confirmed, Benaud – plainly not the retiring sort, on any level – erupted with delight.
Now it was England's turn to crumble. In eight overs either side of tea, Benaud struck six times as May's self-fulfilling prophecy was realised. Unsure whether to swing from the hip (Brian Close, unfairly cast as scapegoat) or bite that bottom lip (Subba Row, Barrington), the resistance melted, the last nine wickets evaporating for 51. Brought back after Benaud began to feel the strain of his three-hour stint, Davidson had the final word, castling Statham with just 20 minutes remaining, sealing Richie's finest hour as player, leader and adventurer.
On as captivating a final day as any Test has ever served up for our delectation, Australia had conjured the rabbit of victory from the black hat of defeat – twice. "More than at any other game I have known, the final day provided revealing material for self-examination as a critic," confessed the veteran reporter Ron Roberts. "Thrilled" as he was by Davidson's power, and marvel as he did at Benaud's enterprise, the Daily Telegraph man found it difficult keeping his allegiance – and dismay – in check. He wasn't alone.
"I think it was the best Test I played in," reckoned Davidson, no mean accolade given that, in common with half a dozen teammates, he'd also played in that immortal Brisbane tie against West Indies the previous December. "Go on, Rich, dive in," exhorted O'Neill as he filled the communal bath. "With your luck you won't even get wet."
To Harvey, the comeback "bordered on the impossible". Three hours later, as they sipped champagne on the dressing-room balcony, he and Benaud recalled the delirium that followed Laker's triumph half a decade earlier. Toasting "sweet revenge", they revelled in the golden silence.

In the cold light of history, I'm sure there will be plenty of blame to be laid at the feet of one George W. Bush, but blaming him for movies? Well, that's what Ramin Setoodeh over at Newsweek is proposing -- that the rash of downer films that have littered the box office in the last two years is all because of big bad Bush, and it's a bit of a leap. After all, there's the tried and true logic that awards season usually has studios releasing their 'serious' pictures, and in the world of cinema, serious usually means depressing. But Setoodeh has some evidence to back up his claims, mainly that in the so-called 'golden years' of Bill Clinton, films like Shakespeare in Love and The Full Monty were Oscar contenders, and now we have grim, foreboding films like There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, and Slumdog Millionaire. But it didn't stop at Oscar nominees, because according to Setoodeh, Terminators, the kids of Hogwarts, and even a pair of star-crossed lovers from Forks, Washington seem to be suffering from bouts of depression thanks to the Republican president.
Now I truly believe that if you need to take the temperature of any nation, pop culture is one the best places to start. But it does strike me a little odd that Setoodeh glossed over so many of the films released during Bush's reign that were far from the dark and depressing world of Cormac McCarthy. If you take a quick look, Bush's term was full of romantic comedies, animated films, superheroes and gross-out comedies galore, which makes it just like any other year at the movies.
After the jump: Oscar nominees that weren't a downer, and is Setoodeh right?
Even at the Oscars, during the Bush years, we had films like Lord of The Rings trilogy racking up the nominations, and that could hardly be considered a dark and depressing time at the movies. But maybe it was us out there in the dark that were different, and suddenly a film like The Dark Knight was about Cheney and the War on Terror rather than just a guy in a bat suit ... or maybe that's just me.
But now I'm going to turn it over to you: do you think the Bush years had Hollywood in a bit of a funk, and now that there's new hero in the White house -- and we're slowly climbing out of this recession -- do you think our movies are bound to get a lot happier? Sound off below...

York University Moves to Suppress Offensive Speech — But Only When Jews Are Speaking
The Canadian university hosts the odious anti-Semite and pro-terrorist George Galloway, and moves to suppress the free speech rights of a Jewish rabbi for condemning him.
November 19, 2010 - 12:00 am
York University in Toronto, which has gained for itself the dubious distinction of being Canada's epicenter of campus anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism, is displaying once again the moral inversion that seems to have infected its student body and administration when the issues of the Middle East are discussed.
The issue at hand is a November 16th visit to the York campus by British MP George Galloway, as the invited guest of the York Federation of Students. In 2009, Mr. Galloway had been barred from entering Canada due to his public support of and donations to Hamas, a group designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the U.S. State Department, Canada, and the EU, but a court has since overturned that decision and given Galloway access to Canada once again.
Not everyone was thrilled with the prospect of having Galloway, who, according to wry commentator Christopher Hitchens is "100 percent consistent in support for thugs and criminals," arriving on the York campus to spew forth his rabid fulminations against Zionism, Israel, and the West. In particular, Toronto-based Rabbi Ahron Hoch took it upon himself to post an announcement on his Aish web site in which he urged readers to proactively protest Galloway's appearance, and to take specific steps to inform the greater community about the noxious speaker, including emailing York's president, calling the dean's office to lodge a formal complaint, and participating in a rally to be held on the York campus.
Feeling that the Galloway visit was one more contribution to the cesspool of anti-Semitic, pro-Palestinian activism that has punctuated the York campus for years now, Rabbi Hoch took York's president, Mamdouh Shoukri, to task for allowing Galloway to speak "under the pretext of freedom of speech," even though it "was never meant to be used as a vehicle to spread support for terror, murder and genocide."
And more relevant to Rabbi Hoch was that York's president had again failed to take a strong stand to rid his campus of anti-Israelism that frequently has morphed into anti-Semitism. "Mr. Shoukri has again showed his amazing tolerance for anti-Semitism and lack of vigilance regarding the feeling of safety for Jewish students on campus," Hoch wrote.
Rabbi Hoch did receive a response from the university, but not the one he had probably hoped for. In fact, what he received was a formal letter from Harriet Lewis, York's general counsel, who ordered the rabbi, in no uncertain terms, to remove the announcement "from [his] web site and to direct [his] supporters to cease and desist" any further distribution of the online poster. Why was the university demanding these steps? Because it believed that Hoch's comment about President Shoukri was "untrue, harmful to [him] and his reputation, and to that of the university." More ominously, the university considered the rabbi's words "actionable,"( read: criminal), and expected "a retraction and apology forthwith."
The letter also warned Hoch that his request for individuals to come to the York campus to protest Galloway's appearance "might disturb and provoke others to disturb the peace" and "that this too is actionable and may constitute criminal behavior." (Emphasis added.)
In a morally coherent world, university administrators might be better able to distinguish between behavior by terrorist-coddling ideologues and the actions of those who wish to protect Jewish students from hatred, bias, and vilification as a result of their perceived support of Israel. But not at York, where, when someone stands up and asks why anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism have infected the York campus and have even recently widened into physical assaults and attacks on Jews, it is that individual who is condemned for saying what has not been said before: that the university's failure to take a strong moral stand — when it sees obvious hatred and aggression towards Jewish students as part of an ostensible discussion about Israel — is a great moral lapse that no amount of talk about "academic free speech" and the supposed right of people like Galloway to speak on campus can remedy.
Before threatening to take legal action against Rabbi Hoch for his possible criminal behavior of criticizing the moral judgment of York's president and urging others to protest Galloway's appearance, the university might well assess the character and odious moral behavior of Galloway himself.

Peachtree Ridge teacher named finalist for TOY
Physics teacher Dean Landers of Peachtree Ridge High this week was named a finalist for the Gwinnett County Public Schools Teacher of the Year award. Landers teaches juniors and seniors and has five years in education, all in Gwinnett. Landers began his college career as a mechanical engineering student, but switched his career path to education after a semester abroad teaching English to Spaniards.
"Not only was it fun, but I was good at it," he said.
Landers has a mechanical engineering degree from Georgia Tech and a master's degree in science education from Georgia State University.
Landers is one of six finalists for the annual award, presented at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 1 at the Gwinnett Center. A selection committee of 11 GCPS educators narrowed the field from 26 semifinalists that began as a list of 131.
Gwinnett's Teacher of the Year will receive an annual award of $1,000 and the other level winners will each receive $750 each year, for as long as they are employed with GCPS. The finalists will receive a one-time award of $500, and each local school winner will receive a one-time award of $200.
Toast at Town Center wraps up
The final Toast at Town Center of the year is at 6 p.m. on Thursday. The theme of the monthly street festival is "Night of the Living Dead."
Peachtree Ridge homecoming this week
Homecoming Spirit Week at Peachtree Ridge High is scheduled for this week leading up to the Lions' football game against Norcross and Homecoming dance on Saturday.

Students may invite a non-PRHS student as a date to the dance, but all students attending the dance should be in high school. They will be expected to show photo ID at the door. Students should pick up their Homecoming tickets Monday through Friday during lunch.
City to purchase financial software
The city of Suwanee has issued a request for proposals to purchase new financial software that will allow it to accept online bill payments, and have systems better communicate with each other.

PIB medians move forward
City staff has reported to the City Council that work on the Peachtree Industrial Boulevard medians is planning to be completed this planting season. Russell Landscape Group has doubled its effort to find product to plant that will survive the dry and windy conditions along the road. City officials have said the project was designed to be cost efficient with low maintanence, but the native grasses would take about two growing seasons to settle in.
I-85 project expected to finish by Christmas
The long-awaited Interstate 85 landscaping project, that was delayed by a drought and the service delivery dispute with Gwinnett County over the last six years, began this week and city officials expect it to be completed by Christmas. The project is a mixture of landscape and hardscape, and will have 11 small plazas near the corners of the interchanges and north bound and south bound ramps from I-85 to Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road. There will also be three plazas where Sawmill Road meets Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road and a variety of benches and trash cans. The landscaping will include 250 trees, 6,000 shrubs, and some sodded areas.

Have you ever seen -- or even heard of -- a live documentary? That's what David Cerf and Sam Green's Utopia in Four Movements is labeled, and it is and has the capability to be more organic than most non-fiction films. Really, it's more of an academic lecture with accompanying score and PowerPoint presentation (well, Apple Keynote presentation), but you know a lot of documentaries are like that anyway, just without the in-house presence of the narrator and band. Green recites, with some apparent improvisation, what would otherwise be voice-over, while Cerf mixes the soundtrack from a laptop as members of the Brooklyn-based group The Quavers perform ambient music on guitar, trumpet, violin and vibraphone.
The focus of the film/lecture is the idea of utopia, how it has been attempted and how it likely will never exist, just as Thomas More presumed when he coined the term (utopia = "no place" in Greek). Utopia in Four Movements argues that the progression of events of the 20th century is evidence for why utopia is so difficult to achieve, whether they're related to "good" communities or those horrible pseudo-Utopian societies that squash others with conflicting ideals (see the Nazis, the Khmer Rouge, the KKK, Stalin's Soviet Union, North Korea and way too many other genocides, regimes and organizations from the last hundred years). Yet he does highlight some developments, such as the invention of the shopping mall and the endurance of Castro's Cuba, that at least hint at possibilities for modest utopias, whether based in capitalism or communism.
As its title suggests, Utopia in Four Movements is divided into quarters, the first of which tells us about the history of Esperanto, a language invented in the 1880s to unite the world through a politically and culturally neutral lexicon. Apparently a lot of its speakers were wiped out during and following World War II, but the society continues to grow and thrive with members in all corners of the globe. I'd only heard of Esperanto prior to this film, and I had no idea there is actually an old horror movie starring William Shatner in which all the dialogue is spoken in the constructed language.
Cuba gets its spotlight during the second movement, which looks at the overall concept of revolution and concentrates primarily on African American activist Assata Shakur (Tupac's aunt), who has been living as a fugitive in exile for more than 25 years. From there Green takes us to China for a look at the largest mall in the world. It's mostly empty, of shops and people. Finally, the fourth chapter concentrates on forensic anthropology, a science Green considers in part to be an elegy for the 20th century and also a hopeful means of reminding us of recent history's worst moments, so that we don't repeat them.
Had Utopia in Four Movements been a straight sort of documentary I probably wouldn't be so excited about it, though I am and was fascinated by the subject and Green's exploration of it. Compared to his Oscar-nominated doc The Weather Underground (for which Cerf did the score), though, it's pretty light stuff. But given that most documentaries today aim to be seen on HBO, PBS, Netflix or wherever else audiences are more willing to give them a chance, I love any sort of non-fiction work that necessitates a theatrical experience. While docs are often not cinematic enough to be better suited to the big screen, they are more appropriate for collective viewing than most fiction features. Especially if there's room for the audience to discuss what they've seen afterward. And one of the great things about having the filmmaker/narrator present is there's likely room for a Q&A or similar sort of talk following each screening.
I also see the potential for the live documentary concept with more contestable and controversial films than this one. Imagine if a film like Fahrenheit 9/11 or GasLand or any other such doc that's been highly refuted or debunked could just alter the narration with each screening in order to be more accurate*. I was reminded of how Loose Change has done something similar by outputting new iterations, each version leaving out anything proven wrong and adding in any new developments regarding its 9/11 conspiracy theories. I also like that Green was able to control the pace of his narration and the visuals depending on if he had to wait out audience reactions, especially laughter.
As far as I know, Utopia in Four Movements won't end up on DVD. Not that it would be difficult to simply attach audio of Green and The Quavers more permanently to the film. But some of the point of the film is to bring people together (and to me, a movie theater is a kind of utopia, so that's fitting). More screenings are scheduled throughout the year, including at fests in Maine and San Francisco. To experience a documentary like you've probably never done before, definitely seek out one of the planned showings or find a way to bring it to your neck of the woods while you have the chance. I doubt Green and company will be doing this for too much longer, and I hope they move on to another live documentary after this.
*if need be. I did not mean to necessarily imply either film has inaccuracies, though some people believe they do.

Britain cuts interest on 3.7bn loan
Published 22/07/2011
The British government is cutting the rate of interest on its 3.7 billion euro loan to Ireland.
UK Chancellor George Osborne said the move would be in the "national interest" of Britain.
The move came after eurozone states agreed a new bailout package designed to shore up the positions of debt-laden members, including Ireland and Greece.
Mr Osborne said he had told his Dublin counterpart Michael Noonan of the decision to reduce the bilateral loan interest on Friday morning.
"I've been arguing for some time that the interest rates charged for eurozone loans were too high. I'm pleased therefore they have now reduced those rates," he said.
"That enables Britain to cut its rate on its loan to Ireland, while ensuring all of the benefit goes to Ireland and not to higher interest rates paid to euro area governments. We will still be more than covering the cost of our borrowing.
"We stayed out of the Greek bailout as promised. But, for Britain, Ireland is a special case. Our loan will help them and is in our national interest."

What is the relation between SWV and CMS SP2 MP1?
Hi All,
What is the relation between SWV and CMS SP2 MP1?
Comments 25 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Client Management Suite includes the Symantec Workspace Virtualization plugin for distribution to the Symantec Management Agent.
Features in the CMS product include the ability to distribute software into a virtual layer using both policies and tasks. Additionally, CMS includes tasks that can be issued to managed clients that can create, activate, delete, deactivate virtual layers.
SWV paired with User-based policies can give you a mechanism to deliver software easily to a user rather than to a computer.
Thanks to response but sorry my questions is different.
If suppose I have Client management Suit (7.1) on one server and I have installed Symantec WorkspaceVirtualizations and Symantec Virtual Composer on other system. Now we are able to create a virtual image of software.
My questions are:-
- Is both are different product?
- How I can integrate both the product? How I can use both in same environment?
- Can I install both the product on same server?
- Is any product are missing for doing virtualizations?
Thanks & Regards,
Nagesh Singh
Hey Nagesh,
1. Based on the suites, CMS is a different product from SWS. CMS, or rather NS7.x, has the ability to deploy and manage virtualization layers, but not stream it. SWS, or rather Workspace Streaming, has the ability to manage the exact same virtualization layers as well, but chopping the virtual package up into tiny bits, or streamlets, ala how Youtube delivers a video. In that regard, Youtube chops up a flash video into pieces and then delivers it to you as pieces.
Yes and no. You can use the same virtual packages, but Streaming requires an extra step as you have to use the Virtual Composer to create a wrapper or rather edit it so that it has meta tag information that the Streaming Server can interpret and deliver it out.
2. You can't... yet. NS 7.5 is being worked on at present and will have the ability to stream, but it is not slated to be released until the Fall. Until then, if you want to use Streaming, you must use SWS. Otherwise, you can use the same virtual package and deliver it via NS 7.x.
3. Yes, but you don't want to. While you can install the same product on the same server, there is really not a lot of gain there and can be harmful. SWS uses a seperate database from CMS so right off the bat you need two instances for your Databases. Also, if your NS is being hit with requests from agents and then your Streaming Server is being hit from the same network interface, you are going to saturate your bandwidth, IOPS, CPU, and RAM. I would recommend against doing it unless you are trying to setup a proof of concept to get funding for a project.
4. If you get Endpoint Virtualization, you automatically have all you need in order to create packages. The Admin tool has the ability to capture whatever is happening from a command window along with child processes as well as the ability to parse down and edit the registry. Heck, you can even download a trial of the old SVS product and start working from there.

Remember, "The happiness of your life, depends on the quality of your thoughts."
SWS is not integrated into SMP, so treat it like our Win32 DS product (this can also control SWV).
Both SWS and SW Mgmt Solution include the SWV Agent.
SWS controls SWV via its SWS Agent. CMS can control SWV via its SMA and/or CTA (SWV must be installed with its NS flag).
SWV can also be used as a standalone product.
SWV provides an Admin Tool that allows you to create layers. WPS can also be used to do this.
WVC is included with SWS and allows you to create layers via the SWV Admin Tool (it can also import existing layers), and also alows you to perform more configuration actions to the layer that can be utilised from within a SWS environment. WVC also includes templates for a number of aplications, to aid in layer creation. WVC finally compiles the layer into a SWS package which can then be uploaded to the SWS Repository for deployment via SWS. You can also deploy the raw layers created via WVC via CMS.

Thanks to response.
Please correct me if I am worng with fullform of below one to understand the above sentance.
SMP--->Symantec management Plateform(if I am not wrong then you want to say Client management suit)
SWV--->Symantec workspace Virtulizations
WVC--->Wise Virtual Composer(if I am not wrong)
Thanks & Regards,
Nagesh Singh
Hi SK,
Thanks to given the good information's about both SWS and CMS.I have tried to elaborate the same thing which you have written above, there are still some word which are out of dictionary of mine which I have made in bold.
If I conclude with your statement then SWS and CMS are two different products and there are no relations between them. CMS Suit also having Symantec workspace Virtualizations plug in which are only useful when I have implement SWS
Symantec Workspace Streaming is not integrated into Client management suit, so treat it like our Win32 DS product (this can also control Symantec workspace Virtualizations).
Both Symantec Workspace Streaming and SW Mgmt Solution include the SWV (Symantec workspace Virtualizations Agent).
Symantec Workspace Streaming controls Symantec workspace Virtualizations via its Symantec Workspace Streaming Agent. CMS (Client management suit) can control Symantec workspace Virtualizations via its Symantec Management Agent and/or CTA (Symantec workspace Virtualizations must be installed with its NS flag).
Symantec workspace Virtualizations can also be used as a standalone product.
Symantec workspace Virtualizations provides an Admin Tool that allows you to create layers. WPS (Wise Package Studio) can also be used to do this.
WVC (Wise Virtual Composer) is included with SWS (Symantec Workspace Streaming) and allows you to create layers via the SWV (Symantec workspace Virtualizations) Admin Tool (it can also import existing layers), and also allows you to perform more configuration actions to the layer that can be utilized from within a SWS (Symantec Workspace Streaming) environment. WVC (Wise Virtual Composer) also includes templates for a number of applications, to aid in layer creation. WVC (Wise Virtual Composer) finally compiles the layer into a SWS (Symantec Workspace Streaming) package which can then be uploaded to the SWS (Symantec Workspace Streaming) Repository for deployment via SWS (Symantec Workspace Streaming). You can also deploy the raw layers created via WVC (Wise Virtual Composer) via CMS Client management suit.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagesh Singh
Yes, SWS & CMS are two different products; however, both can be used to deploy and managed the SWV Agent. You could even use Run Script tasks to manage SWV without using the built-in tasks. DS 6.9 is also a standalone product which has the ability to manage SWV. SWV can also be used as a standalone product, by the user of the machine that it is installed on, if they have local admin rights to that machine.
CMS & DS 6.9 can both deploy layers, but it will be the complete layer.
SWS deploy's layers via packages that can either have initial blocks streamed and then further blocks when more of the products functionality is required (on-line mode) or all blocks streamed (off-line mode).

Hello Nagesh,
SWS uses SWSA to manage SWV. SWSA streams the layers and then uses SWV to import and activate them, etc.
CMS (including DS 6.9 and ealrlier) can deploy SWV and also layers, as well as manage them via policies or tasks.
Deciding how you wish to deliver and manage the layer will determine if you wish to use SWS, CMS or DS.

Hi SK,
Thanks to response,
So if I have to do the WinZip as a Virtualizations software through CMS then What Component I need to install it?
- Can I do only with CMS? If yes then can you please share the document )
- If I want to stop to install SWV through CMS then where is that setting? If you have any video link then please share with us to get more clear picture of it?
Thanks & Regards,
Nagesh Singh
Hello Nagesh,
The way I would do it would be to use either SWV Admin Tool directly or via WVC if their is a template, or even WPS.
There is also a tool on Connect that provides templates for itself (not for WVC); however, I cannot remember what its called.
A Managed Software Delivery policy also provides the option to install into a layer; however, that action is run on every machine, and I personaly would not use it, as it is far better to create and test the layer first and then deploy to all machines that require it.
To deploy the layer, you could use DS, SW Mgmt Solution, Task Server or a 3rd Party product.
To stop deploying a layer, you can simply disable its associated policy (this will prevent future deployments and will not stop an install that is currently running).
To stop using SWV altogether, you would first diable all polices/tasks that deploy layers, disbale the install to layer option on any MSD#s that is configured with it, and then uninstall SWV. Obviously, whatever product you used to install SWV, you would need to disable their install policy.
For documentation, please go to our products web page, and select the product you are interested in, as it will give you access to its documentation, etc.

Date Climbed: Apr 14, 2012
|I don't know that I've climbed enough to say it should NOT be Top 10, but it was a really good day. Climbed with Rom and a large crew. Scrambled over the Fatironette. We didn't see a way to descend to the south gully (Maiden side) - at least it seemed like it would be a hike up a good piece before we could get to it. The descent off the north-side gully seems like the natural way down.

|Lower chunk: Scrambled up the 4th class P1. I led P2 & a short P4. Rapped from an existing anchor.
Upper chunk: Scrambled up a bit, then I led an easy pitch and my partner led a second easy pitch to the summit. Rapped from existing anchor.
Hiked up to Devils Thumb for a quick thrill afterwards.

|climbed the east face w/mike under a morning of confusing skies which never materialized into anything before clearing to a bluebird afternoon. never found the 5.4 route, and ended up climbing a bit of runout, slabby 5.6 on the bottom piece.
overall, an interesting climb but not a top-10 flatiron route, the first time i've climbed a "miss" in that regard.

|Climbed with Jamie after warming up on The Forgotten Flatiron (aka Icarus), which was my first trad lead. I led most of the Fatiron as well, and found it a bit run out in places, but tree slings came in handy! We both think we ended up too far left on P2 and into the 5.5/6 variation.

Can dogs be vegetarian?
Watching Seven Pounds today, starring Will Smith, there's a scene where he laughs at the notion that a big dog could live on "steamed broccoli and tofu." I'm thinking about feeding my dog, Redford, a rescue, vegetarian dog food. I already know he likes plenty of vegetarian foods—including grass, which he eats assiduously every day…but worry that it's not natural, or healthy, for me to impose my ethics on his tummy.
Can dogs be vegetarian? I've checked out a bunch of sites, including PETA, but most seem pretty biased.
Incorrect source, offensive, or found a typo? Email us (please put title in subject bar of email so we'll be able to fix). Or do you want to write for Elephant?

8 Responses to "Can dogs be vegetarian?"
it is hard for us with our "spiritual" ideals to think that killing animals might be ok. it's true, domesticated animals are the first problem, but now that they are here and we are caring for them, we must honor their needs. canines are decidedly carnivorous and thrive on raw meat/veg/meaty bones. please feed your animals properly. it's the highest form of ahimsa.
Apparently they can be – so long as it is a lacto-ovo diet. Do check out the authoritative ¨Natural Health for Dogs & Cats¨ by Dr. Richard Pitcairn and Dr. Marty Goldstein´s books as well.
this book is quite outdated. he suggests a cooked diet, whereas most authorities now recognize this is not a great route to take for canines or felines.
No. Dogs need to eat meat. It may be possible for them to survive and derive nutrition from vegetables, but it is by no means natural. If you are not comfortable with the responsibility of feeding your dog what it is meant to eat, you should show the animal more respect and not become its owner. If you TRULY appreciate animals and care about how they are treated, you would cater to the dogs natural needs – otherwise all of your "animal loving" is proven to be completely superficial.
A dog will eat and enjoy most anything edible (and some things that are not) that you put in front of them. The dog eating/enjoying the food is no sign of it being the right food for the dog. Dogs often eat grass to induce vomiting, or to deal with digestive problems that they are experiencing.
I'm not a meat advocate – in fact I have been a vegetarian for close to 20 years. I started my journey for my love of animals, and that love naturally extends to my dogs.
Dogs are opportunistic omnivores, like humans. So yes, they can thrive as vegetarians.
Although cats are 'obligate carnivores', with the right formulation & supplements, they can thrive on a plant-based diet as well. I have 4 cats that are living proof!
also you want to give them 'real food' – steam those veggies & grains and see what kinds of flavors they like! My cats are fond of broccoli, spinach, nori and anything green
We have EIGHT dogs, who have thrived for YEARS on plant-based meals exclusively. We have the comprehensive blood work results to prove it, not to mention a meat-eating vet, who thinks ea one is the picture of health & considers them among his healthiest patients. Their meals are diverse, nutrient rich, while providing plenty of protein.
They ARE Domesticated – with a capital D. The majority of canines are far removed from any "omnivorous" ancestors or relatives. Our companion animals live posh, comfortable lives and don't have to avoid predators, travel long distances, endure tempestuous weather, etc., or necessarily eat meat.
[…] And: can dogs be vegetarian, and healthfully so? […]

Still running a small network, now with a RH7.3p server (SAMBA) and one Win98 workstation. The server can see and copy files from the workstation just fine. However, the workstation doesnot ever see the server in Network Neighborhood. I've looked at all the entries in the forums, some are simular but don't seem to help me. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Was answering another thread and i can across this while lookin for an old thread of mine with samba.
I think (not completely sure) that samba can only be a server or client - not both. If you can read the files on the windows machine from the linux machine then you are running the samba client.
Hope u can prove me wrong.
Its better to regret something you have done than to regret something you havent done :P

Aguilera isn't holding anything back on this playful and upbeat track. The tune is synth-heavy and has all the makings of a strong, modern R&B song with electronic influences. The single may be Aguilera's biggest club-hit of her career and is one of her boldest hits since 'Dirty.' Aguilera sings with her strong and confident vocals that she's known for and sings about finding a lover for a one night stand. She sings in the song's opening lines: "Come here tonight to get you out of my mind/I'm gonna take what I find."
'Lotus' is scheduled to be released on November 13. The album features a track with 'The Voice' co-star Cee Lo Green. Listen to 'Your Body' right now on AOL Radio's Fresh 40 station.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Junior All-America candidate Chastity Goochhas been named the CollegeSportsMadness.com Mid-Major National Player of the Week and Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week, it was announced on Monday by CollegeSportsMadness.com.
Gooch averaged 26.5 points and 9.0 rebounds per game in two road wins last week to stay near the top of the SBC standings and improve the Lady Toppers' road mark to 3-1 in league play. Gooch scored a career-best 31 points to help WKU overcome a 13-point deficit in the second half to win 77-73 at ULM last Wednesday. Gooch also grabbed seven rebounds in 39 minutes of play. In one of her top individual performances of her career, Gooch picked up her second foul with 12:45 remaining in the first half but then played 16:09 of game time before picking up her third foul with 15:41 left in the second half.
Gooch followed up her performance at ULM with a 22 point, 11 rebound and four block performance against Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday in a 68-63 win. She hit 10-of-12 shots from the field in the contest.
Gooch reached two major milestones during the game at ULM. Gooch became the 35th member of WKU's 1,000 point club late in the first half and also posted her 700th career rebound. Gooch became the 35th member of the school's 1,000 point club. She scored the basket that put her at 1,000 points for her career with 2:33 left in the first half to cut the deficit to three at 32-29 against ULM. Gooch reached the 1,000 point mark in her 80th career game in a WKU uniform. She becomes one of 11 players in program history to reach the 1,000 point mark in 80 games or less in a WKU uniform.
Gooch is the second WKU player to join the 1,000 point club this season as junior Alexis Govan reached the feat on Dec. 7, 2013. The last time that two players joined the club in the same season was in 2008-09 when Dominique Duck and Kenzie Richboth reached the mark in the same season.
After posting six blocks on the weekend, Gooch is also just two blocks away from reaching 100 blocks in her career. When she reaches the mark, she will become just the sixth player in program history with 100 steals, 100 assists and 100 blocks in the course of their career.

As video conferencing becomes more ubiquitous, many professionals are looking for the best ways to adapt to the new medium. Although it has many similarities to traditional meetings, there are a few noteworthy differences.
In order to ensure that you are up to speed on the latest etiquette and expectations for online conferencing, here are a few tips for what to do - and what not to do - in an internet meeting.
Minimize the multitasking
Although many of us are used to checking email or surfing the web during phone calls, it is important not to do this during an online meeting. In addition to the obvious problems this could create during the meeting - being unprepared to answer a question or appearing distracted - it could also cause your computer to run more slowly or even crash. Treat it like any other meeting, which means paying attention and focussing on the speaker.
Don't ignore your surroundings
Just because you are conducting or participating in an online meeting doesn't mean that your actual surroundings cease to exist. Make sure you're aware of what's going on around you, because you are not the only one who will be affected by it. Close doors, inform people nearby that you are in a meeting and avoid busy and loud settings. Understanding how the other participants will experience your surroundings is integral to making sure you are a thoughtful participant.
Know what's available to everybody
Being aware of how other participants are engaging in the meeting is important. Not everybody necessarily has the same access you do, so be careful what you call attention to. If you refer to a visual aid, such as a Powerpoint presentation or a graph, make sure that everyone has see the video content.
One way to avoid such an embarrassing situation is to provide all participants with the necessary information beforehand. Something as simple as sending an email with all the attachments you will be referring to can help keep everybody on the same page.
Sync carefully
It's important to make sure that your audio and visuals are well coordinated. If you are discussing something that is not yet on the screen - or has already disappeared - your audience will be confused. If you are trying to synchronize these elements in real time, it's best to preview them fairly exhaustively beforehand.
Many businesses are turning to web conferencing as their primary mode for holding meetings. Therefore, it is imperative that you incorporate these techniques and etiquette practices to ensure that your meetings are as effective and professional as possible.

Re: World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie Wars
A mate of mine had the survival guide (I still eye up buildings with stairs as possible places to hide) but extracts have not convinced me that WWZ would be enjoyable. Brooks just seems to take the fun out of it all with the drawn out explanation of how the zombies came about and how they ended up over running civilisation.
For me, part of the fun is that our heroes in most of these types of shows/films simply wake up and find the zombies everywhere. Much like a force of nature, they're simply there for us to recoil in horror at. Going into the wheres and whys just takes away from that for me.
