I had a constant influx and outflow of pets in my life as a kid. I had the usual short-lived carnival goldfish, the token hamster or two, some small worried looking white mice. But mostly, there were cats (no wonder the mice looked worried). My first memories are of cats. Cats curled by my neck, my side, on my belly, pouncing on my ballet bun (my hair in a topknot was very similar in size and texture to a mouse). Cats weaving through my ankles, curled in my trumpet case, sprawling across my homework giving themselves a long bath. When we didn't seek out cats they would seemingly seek us out.
Our first cat was Andrew---a big, white, long-haired, rubbery-limbed kitty, who was so relaxed you could pick him up and cart him around the neighborhood or, if the mood struck you, dress him up in doll clothes. He fell in love with the lady cat next door and started spending all his time with her. When the neighbors moved we gave Andrew to them because we felt it would be cruel to separate such a devoted couple. We grieved but only for a moment because within a week we found a pair of almost newborn stray kittens in the wastebasket in our garage. The boy kitty had ABC (already-been-chewed) gum stuck to his fur. We carefully removed the gum with tiny manicure scissors and promptly named him Blackie and his spotty sister, Callie. I could happily tell you all kinds of intricate details about Callie and Blackie and Every Cat We Ever Owned (at one point we had ten, granted, nine of them were kittens), but I won't. I will mention that when you have ten cats, nine of whom are kittens, they sort of "flock". The ten of them, at times, moved as one entity, like a roly-poly, frolicking, fuzzy herd. I will also mention that the cat I had the longest and strongest bond with was named Jessica aka Jessie. A boy in my third-grade class brought kittens to school one day and the moment I saw her I knew she was mine and brought her home without asking my mother. It was the boy who suggested I name her Jessica; "That's my ex-girlfriend's name," he said. Initially the question may appear to be: Wasn't it awfully audacious of me to bring home a new kitten without permission? But I believe the deeper and perhaps more compelling question here would be---what was a third grader doing with an ex-girlfriend?
Most of my adult life I've lived in places where pets weren't allowed, so sadly I haven't had a pet to call my own. So I write about them. Pet-sit them. And seem to still, somehow, attract cats. Though solely as visitors nowadays. Every apartment or cottage I've lived in seems to come with the requisite curious neighborhood cat,who, on warm days will wander into my place, wind through my legs while I work at the computer. Meow. Sniff. And in some cases, if I'm lucky, let me pick them up and give 'em a scritch.
For instance, in my current place a sleek, talkative kitty named Lenny frequently comes to visit. I like to imagine he's named after Lenny Bruce because he's so outspoken. He's just growing out of adolescence and is frisky, curious, very soft, and occasionally, a wee bit smelly (that's adolescence for you). Now, as much as I enjoy borrowing neighborhood cats (Lenny's grooming habits are improving all the time) I am determined (not unlike Prudence, the protagonist in my book) to have my very own pet someday. In some ways Prudence Wants a Pet is a wish-fulfillment story (it may as well be called Cathleen Wants A Pet). But it's also a story about tenacity and not giving up on dreams. And I dream of kittens (yes, more than one, but definitely not ten) curled up on the small blue blanket at the foot of my bed.
"In real life Prudence would probably be viewed as the weird kid with the branch, but in the literary realm she's an imaginative and determined heroine, and audiences will be glad to see her persistence rewarded." ―BCCB
"Sweetly illustrated by Stephen Michael King (Leaf), 'Prudence' deftly combines funny and cute, and has a resourceful heroine too." ―The New York Times Book Review
"In her first picture book, Daly (Flirt Club) chronicles Prudence's misplaced affections . . . rife with understated humor . . . . King (Leaf) pictures Prudence's passive-aggressive charade in loose pen-and-ink sequences reminiscent of Quentin Blake's sketch art." ―Starred, Publishers Weekly
"A classic theme feels fresh as a squiggling kitten." ―Starred, Kirkus Reviews
"I admire this book so much I have adopted it as my pet. I drag it around with me wherever I go, never letting it out of my sight." ―Lemony Snicket
"Small pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations on a white background reveal a time progression in vignettes that are spread across the pages. The humorous consequences of Prudence's experiments make this a lighthearted read about never giving up on one's dreams." ―School Library Journal
"It's ultimately Daly's dry humor and her wonderfully imaginative and persistent protagonist that elevate this book above typical kiddo-wants-a-pet fare. King's deceptively simple illustrations―spare line drawings punctuated with color―are hilarious, perfectly chronicling the ups and downs of Prudence's endeavors, as well as her emotions." ―Horn Book

Definite way for checking for pre-emphasis, Is there a method?

Is there a definite method for checking pre-emphasis on CDs? Many of the CDs with pre-emphasis don't even light up the EAC flag.
Is the track peak a reliable gauge to pre-emphasis? Those with pre-emphasis have a large drop in track peak after running through Sox.
Brothers in Arms drops from 1.00 to 0.77
Toto IV drops from 0.86 to 0.66
Tried a modern CD
Oasis' Dig Out Your Soul drops from 1.00 to 0.98
I've tried other files which I thought had pre-emphasis but the track peak doesn't drop much.
Never Mind the Bollocks drops from 0.87 to 0.83
U2's Boy and War drops from 1.00 to 0.98
These sounded a bit murky as well after the de-emphasis
Can I safely conclude these have no pre-emphasis?

Vikings add Moats to backfield
Updated: June 15, 2010, 2:26 PM ETAssociated Press
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings have signed running back Ryan Moats.
The team announced the addition Tuesday. Moats was waived by the Houston Texans last week after rushing for 390 yards and four touchdowns last season.
Vikings coach Brad Childress was the offensive coordinator in Philadelphia in 2005, when Moats was a rookie. The Eagles drafted him in the third round out of Louisiana Tech.
Moats signed with the Texans in 2008 and filled in at times for starter ...

I've got lots of source code files written in various languages, but none of them have a standard comment at the top (sometimes even across the same project). Some of them don't have any header comment at all :-)
I've been thinking about creating a standard template that I can use at the top of my source files, and was wondering what fields I should include.
I know I want to include my name and a short description of what the file contains/does. Should I also include the date created? The date last modified? The programmer who last modified the file? What other fields have you found to be useful?
Any tips and comments welcome.


text: Auburn area canals have become deadly during the past couple of years and no one seems to care. The problem, however, is not unfenced canals. We've had canals for years without issues. Putting a fence to completely surround every canal is a ridiculous idea. You cannot fence in every place that could be possibly dangerous. If that's the case, why don't we fence in all rivers and creeks, too? Let's fence in the confluence while we're at it. The fact of the matter is I do not believe these men died because they "accidentally" fell into unfenced canals. It's too much of a coincidence that six men would die in the same place in less than two years. If it was six cats that had been found dead in a two-year period, animal rights groups would be doing everything they could to find out who was harming them. Yet with these men, who have just as much value as any other person living in our town, no one seems to care. To say "there's no foul play" because the last man who lost his life did not yell — he was pushed in but only yelled for help — doesn't fit, either. It seems like when your survival instincts kick in all you care about is getting help, not explaining how you got into the situation. Is it not feasible that someone is buying these men alcohol, waiting for them to get inebriated and then pushing them in? Is anyone researching this further? Is anyone doing more? Right now it honestly feels like we have someone killing homeless people that live in our community and no one cares. Nancie Goodnough, Auburn

Living In Malaysia
- Malaysia is known as a melting pot of various ethnic, culture and religion which are blessed with a geographical landscape of natural beauty. Today, with its increasingly cosmopolitan business environment, Malaysia has geared up to become a choice destination for an oversea learning experience. Under a recent strategy to create itself as an excellent international hub of higher education, it is targeting some 150,000 international students studying in its Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) by 2015, or 200,000 by 2010.
- Its population of some 28.8 million is made up of various races such as Malays, Chinese, Indians, Dayaks, and Kadazans, all living and working with each other in harmony.
- Islam is the official religion of the nation. However, the Malaysian Constitution guarantees freedom of worship, and as such, Malaysians embrace other religions, such as Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism.
- Malaysia is one of the most prosperous and progressive countries in the world. Malaysia was ranked 10th in the 2010 World Competitiveness Yearbook by the International Institute of Management Development (IMD), 26th in the 2010 Global Competitiveness Report by the World Economic Forum, and No. 35 on the KOF Index of Globalization. Our student and education fees are also some of the most affordable in the world.
- Malaysia has a pleasant tropical climate and is predominantly sunny weather all the year round with temperatures ranging from 21°C to 32°C. The general weather is humid with annual rainfall varying from 2,000mm to 2,500mm. Malaysia has numerous tourist destinations waiting to be explored and is also well known throughout the globe for its food and culinary galore.
Pre Arrival Information
- Valid International Passport (with at least 6 months validity).
- Letter of Acceptance / Letter of Admission from the Higher Education Institution (HEI).
- Entry clearance. Check on requirement at your local Malaysian Embassy or Consulate or High Commission well in advance.
- Evidence of financial support (documents to show that you have enough money to allow you to complete your course, e.g. letter of scholarship award, bank statements, etc.)
- There is a personal bond fee required by the Malaysian Immigration Department which is payable at your HEI when applying for a student visa. The fee varies from RM200 to RM2000 which is refundable upon completion of your course.
- A medical examination is compulsory for all international students in Malaysia. If you have not done it prior to departure, you may have your examination done at your HEI.
- In addition to tuition fees, you must also take into consideration expenses related to accommodation, books, stationery and equipment, health insurance plan, food, clothing and entertainment.
- It is strongly advised that all new students entering Malaysia via the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) or other entry points to inform the International Students Office of the HEI about the flight number, estimated time of arrival or other detail of mode of entry. Most HEIs will have representatives waiting to receive the students at KLIA or other points of entry upon arrival. (Suggested arrival date: One(1) week before the actual enrolment day as stated in the Letter of Acceptance)
Immigration & VISA Requirement
- All international students in Malaysia are required to apply for a student visa called 'Student Pass' regardless of whether they are full time or exchange students.
- Application for a student pass must be made through the Immigration Department. However, all HEIs will apply for the pass on behalf of the student if he or she is accepted into the HEI.
- Please allow sufficient time of at least one (1) month for your HEI to facilitate the application.
- The related fees are as follows:
- Student Pass is RM60 per year or part of the year (it is renewable every year).
- Visa fee (varies according to country of origin and does not exceed RM50)
- Payment of a personal bond to the HEI, refundable upon completion of studies. The fee varies from RM200 to RM2000
- An international student is permitted to apply for permission to take on employment from the Immigration authorities subject to the conditions below:
- A student is permitted to do part time work for a maximum of 20 hours a week during semester breaks or any holidays exceeding 7 days.
- Part time work is only permissible in restaurants, petrol kiosks, mini markets and hotels. The job should not involve financial aspects of the company
- Permission to work part time may be extended by the immigration authorities subject to receipt of good academic reports on the student.
Entering Malaysia
If you are entering Malaysia via KLIA, your international flight will arrive at the Satellite Building. Here are some guidelines for you to follow:
- Always look out for signage indicating where you want to go.
- Board the automated train shutter or aero-train to the Main Terminal Building
- You will arrive at the mezzanine level of the contact pier. Take the escalator down to the arrival level.
- Follow the signboard and find your way to the airport's Immigration office.
- Remain seated there until you are approached by your HEI's representatives.
- The representatives will introduce themselves as the assigned representative from the college and their job there will be mainly to see that you are through the immigration check-point without any hassle. Please cooperate and surrender your international passport to them who will meet the immigration officer on duty on your behalf.
- When that is cleared, the representatives will return to you your passport and then show you the way to the luggage hall to retrieve your luggage before proceeding to Customs' checkpoint for next clearance.
- When all are done with, the representatives are set to drive you to Ipoh.
Living in Malaysia
Being away from home as a student in a foreign country can be a daunting experience. The following information may help make your stay in Malaysia a comfortable one:
- Accommodation
Rental of a serviced 3-bedroom furnished condominium in Ipoh could cost you between RM1200 to RM1800 per month. Other facilities included air-cond., swimming pool, gym and security guards. It can be very much cheaper if you choose to live in a rented unfurnished linked-house.
- Financial Matters
Malaysia has an internationally linked banking and financial services sector. There are usually banks and ATMs at all major HEIs in Malaysia where you can withdraw money using your credit cards or ATM card. You are encouraged to open up a bank account with any major bank to facilitate all your banking needs. If you are a sponsored student, you are advised to make arrangements to have the allowance deposited directly into that account.
- Medical Facilities and Health Insurance Plan
International students usually go to a designated private clinic nearby to their living place if they wish to seek medical attention. Or, you may choose to go to either a private hospital or government hospital for that. Non-citizens pay a higher rate at government hospitals but this still tends to be lower than the charges at private hospital. The Ministry of Higher Education of Malaysia has made it compulsory for all international students to purchase a comprehensive health insurance plan to cover medical treatment cost throughout their stay in this country.

Improving food security in Africa through agroforestry
The Centre de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement (CIRAD) is studying three different types of agroforestry systems in Cameroon, Kenya and Madagascar in an attempt to demonstrate that agroforestry can improve food security and wellbeing for African farmers in rural areas.
The AFS4Food project not only aims to show how food and cash crops can be effectively combined, it will also launch a network of partners in countries where CIRAD has had a longstanding presence.
CIRAD agronomist and project coordinator, Didier Snoeck, is quoted on their website as saying "an effective agroforestry system lies somewhere between a monoculture, which has a very strong effect on the environment, and an agroforest, which rarely provides farmers with a satisfactory living".
With benefits for both farmers and the environment, agroforestry offers diversification, reduced workloads and lower use of inputs. It can also make farmers less vulnerable to climatic and economic variability. Environmental services - including soil fertility and water resource preservation, prevention of erosion, carbon storage and biodiversity conservation, can be maintained through agroforestry.

Lancope's Tom Cross Presenting on Applying Military Doctrine to Cyber Defense at Black Hat 2014
Attendees will leave session with entirely new approach for securing their networks from advanced adversaries
ATLANTA and BLACK HAT, July 28, 2014 – Tom Cross, director of security research at Lancope, Inc., a leader in network visibility and security intelligence, will present next week at Black Hat 2014 in Las Vegas. He will deliver a session entitled "The Library of Sparta" with co-presenters David Raymond and Greg Conti, who are both associate professors at the United States Military Academy at West Point. The presentation is taking place on Wednesday, August 6 at 10:15 a.m. PDT, and will discuss how military doctrine can be applied to the problem of cyber security from both an offensive and defensive perspective.
"Classical military doctrine is a veritable gold mine of new insights into the process of attacking and defending computer networks," said Tom Cross, director of security research for Lancope. "For example, the 'kill chain' has been a highly influential concept among computer security practitioners as a way of thinking about the stages of a sophisticated, targeted attack on a computer network. There are a variety of other doctrinal concepts that can provide similar kinds of insight. At Black Hat, we plan to review these concepts and encourage conference attendees to dig deeper."
In an effort to up-level security discussions, many people in the computer security community use words like "OPSEC," "kill chain" and "intelligence-driven" without fully understanding the underlying concepts. This talk will ensure that participants know what these terms mean, and more importantly, how they can be used to keep valuable network assets and data out of the hands of state-sponsored attackers. The talk will cover topics including: deception, operations security, cyber terrain analysis, the intelligence analysis process, intel gain/loss calculations, and the OODA Loop, among many others.
"Conventional wisdom at Black Hat is that the attacker will always win," added Cross. "This session will help defenders generate the intelligence, information and disinformation advantage necessary to turn the tables."
Tom Cross heads up Lancope's StealthWatch® Labs security research team. He has over a decade of experience as a computer security researcher and thought leader, and is credited with discovering a number of critical security vulnerabilities in enterprise-class software. He previously served as the manager of X-Force Research at IBM Internet Security Systems, and frequently speaks at security conferences around the world.
For more details on the upcoming Black Hat session, go to: https://www.blackhat.com/us-14/briefings.html#the-library-of-sparta. Lancope will also exhibit its StealthWatch System at Black Hat Booth #1115.

Re: Mountain Lion Screen Freeze in response to Wemyss4
I have been having the same problem ever since I installed Mountain Lion - Snow Leopard was rock solid on my 2011 Macbook Pro with 4GB and HD3000 graphics. I performed a clean install and wiped the disk (Samsung 830 256GB SSD with the latest firmware) before upgrading.
At first I thought it was an issue with Safari, but it seems the system can lock up at any time for no particular reason. It has done it it Firefox too. It will typically hang for about 30 seconds with the beachball going - the dock still works but I can't select anything. The top bar does not work at all. Then everything seems to catch up and all works again until the next time. It seems totally random.
I have reset the permissions, verified the disk, but nothing helps. Really disappointed in Apple.

Re: Mountain Lion Screen Freeze in response to dayweed
Hi everyone!!
All I can say at this moment is OS X v10.8.2 improved notably my proceses on my MBP 13" (Dec 2011), and since 1 week ago I have not had more freezes (working full at the same time with Firefox/GNS3/SecureCRT/Adobe/Parallels/iTunes/All MS Office/RealVNC/MSN/iSoftphone/ACAD/so on). I think each one have a different "freeze" case, so it will be better if you could check your system.log and paste what happen here, in order to Apple Technicians (or any delegate) could check your specific problem...someone here (including me) we did it, and in some cases the problem was solved.
I will not doubt, if anything wrong happen in the next days (a new freeze), to post again what my syslog shows.
Jerry@Apple Oct 2, 2012 11:53 PM
Re: Mountain Lion Screen Freeze in response to Jerry@Apple
It's been 6 days since I did my manual upgrade. There is no single freeze up and I am pretty happy with my iMac. The only thing I did afterwards was to remove Google Chrome.
Can't tell which one works now, would say the 10.8.2 combo update makes more sense.
adam1232 Oct 3, 2012 4:10 AM
Re: Mountain Lion Screen Freeze in response to Jerry@Apple
Is there a difference between OS X 10.8.2 and 10.8.2 combo? Also, it is highly likely the freezes are caused by google chrome because I am always getting 2-3 logs that repeat in my console about google chrome.
Humps_s Oct 3, 2012 4:13 AM
Re: Mountain Lion Screen Freeze in response to adam1232
Not targeting you specifically, just everyone who is going down the chrome route.
THIS CANNOT BE CAUSES BY CHROME, I dont use chrome and seem to be experiencing worse symptoms than most described here...
Please apple sort this, this is my business I run from this mbp!

Re: Mountain Lion Screen Freeze in response to adam1232
i'm not sure anymore.
After changing graphic card everything works smoothly again
i havent managed to install Snow Leopard again because i have to format the HDD
but right now i am running 10.8.1 and using Chrome all the time and nothing happens
"Knock on Wood!"
i still believe that it has something to do with ML and overloading Graphic Cards.
adam1232 Oct 3, 2012 4:23 AM
Re: Mountain Lion Screen Freeze in response to Humps_s
Oh ok. Well this is very frustrating for many reasons. 1. Not EVERYONE is having this problem. 2. We don't even know what's causing this yet! 3. Has apple even realized this issue?
I'm worried and angry about this and I haven't even had a freeze since the 10.8.2 upgrade. But, I do realize other people are still having the hard freezes in this new update as well.
adam1232 Oct 3, 2012 4:25 AM
Re: Mountain Lion Screen Freeze in response to theWoodenKing
Well it does mention the graphics card in the logs in the console. But why would apple make a Mac's graphics card not compatible with Mountain Lion???
theWoodenKing Oct 3, 2012 4:41 AM
Re: Mountain Lion Screen Freeze in response to adam1232
i have no idea, Apple should be taking this very seriously.
All i know is that i had an A-OK working Mac Pro and suddenly after installing Mountain Lion my graphic card burnt out.
The phone service mentioned it being a coincidence but a lot of people are having related problems
and i now have to buy a 250$ card just to fix the problem.
mikebrew Oct 4, 2012 11:16 AM
Re: Mountain Lion Screen Freeze in response to sdaza
I had the same issue and thought it was Google Chrome as well. It actually ended up being a file in my "/Library/Contextual Manu Items" directory which was left over from Google Drive that did not have the correct write permissions and somehow stalled my wifi connection. Once I removed the *.plist file I have not had any issues since.
keliutZu Oct 5, 2012 2:52 AM
Re: Mountain Lion Screen Freeze in response to Jerry@Apple
How did you install the 1.8.2 Combo?
I get a message that (roughly translated) "This volume does not meet the requirements for this update"
Did any of you got a strange message while updating to 1.8.2 in the first place?
My very recent Retina MBP used to run great (It came with ML preinstalled)
I updated to 1.8.2, and after the dowload, restart, update i got a message that the update was NOT correctly installed. It was just a message window with an OK button.
However, even if it was "not correctly installed" I couldn't reapply the update.
From that update everything went to ****.
If i Plug In or Out the external monitor while the computer is running, it will freeze (with graphic glitches) and need a hard reboot.
If I open for example Google Earth ( OpenGL render ) it will crash.
Only Safari works ok, every other browser has random garbled graphics ( Firefox, Chrome, Opera )
+ Other random crashes when opening PgAdmin or Photoshop.

Re: Mountain Lion Screen Freeze in response to sdaza
Hey guys,
Looks like I'm not alone here. My MacBook Pro (late 2011) already froze twice after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I have also updated to the cumullative patch of last week.. and this still happens. First time I was shutting down the laptop when it froze.
Now it froze right at the login screen upon a cold boot.. so I think definitely this is not due to any running browsers... this is just some weird stuff going on
Here's the video proof
If someone thinks this link earns a new thread, just let me know and I'll create one but it seems like it's the same issue people are complaining about in here..
rslvnpryr Oct 12, 2012 11:20 AM
Re: Mountain Lion Screen Freeze in response to sdaza
Hey all,
Just posting an update on my issue here... I'm running Mt. Lion 10.8.2. I'm on a brand new MacBook Pro (Retina) with 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
Many of you are posting about older mac versions and upgrading to Mt. Lion and that being the issue... I'm assuming with this machine right out of the box — the graphics card should handle it just fine.
This is not a Google Chrome issue as they've resolved their browser leak. Not to mention I get freezes when Chrome is nowhere near being open.
Here's what I do know... I had a few files in my download directory, when I would pull up that directory, I had a lot of freezes occuring (requireing a full power off and reboot — totally locked up). I narrowed the freezes down to a single file I had in that directory. I deleted this file via the Terminal. I thought the problem was resolved.
This is my second attempt to post here, the first time I was writing this message and the freeze occured again. I'm really hoping that there's a fix to this soon. Likely, I'll be taking a trip to the Apple store soon.

The Sheung Wan district's iconic market, a hulking Edwardian-era brick structure, is a good place to get your bearings. Built in 1906, it functioned as a produce market for 83 years. Today it's a shopping center selling trinkets and fabrics—the architecture is what's worth the visit. Nearby you'll find herbal medicine on Ko Shing Street and Queen's Road West, dried seafood on Wing Lok Street and Des Voeux Road West, and ginseng and bird's nest on Bonham Strand West.

Comcast SportsNet is all about the CAA this weekend with three games, including George Mason, William & Mary and James Madison. For game previews, keep reading.
(Also on out air Saturday, Georgia Tech at Wake Forest at 2 p.m. followed later by George Washington at VCU at 7:30 p.m.)
*William & Mary (10-14, 4-9 CAA) at Old Dominion (3-22, 1-12) -- Saturday, 12 p.m.
If the Tribe shoot 3-pointers like they did in Wednesday's 92-86 win over UNC Wilmington, good luck to the Monarchs. Then again, if William & Mary simply show up that might be enough. We kid, we kid, though that's the kind of year it's been this season at ODU, losers of 12 of 13 games - plus a head coach. Way back on Dec. 1, the Tribe won the previous meeting 71-62 behind 21 points from leading scorer and former Bishop McNamara star Marcus Thornton.
*Georgia State (13-14, 8-6 CAA) at George Mason (15-10, 8-5) -- Saturday, 4 p.m.
Just when the Patriots appear headed the wrong way down the CAA standings, they pull you back in with a strong performance like Thursday's 68-62 payback win at Drexel. Offensively challenged throughout the season, George Mason scored 44 points in the second half against the Dragons, overcoming an eight-point second-half deficit. Vertrail Vaughns paced the scorers with 14 points as the Patriots essentially flipped the script from last month's stunning home loss to the Dragons.
While there is no previous history this season with the Panthers, a 61-43 winner over Hofstra on Wednesday, the Patriots Homecoming weekend game plan should be rather apparent. For starters, stopping 6-foot-5 wing guard R.J. Hunter, the runaway leader in the CAA Freshman on the Year race, who is averaging 17.1 points and 5.3 rebounds. The second best 3-point shooting team in the conference, Georgia State struggles on the glass, averaging three less rebounds per game than the George Mason.
*James Madison (15-12, 9-5) at Delaware (14-12, 9-4) -- Sunday, 7:30 p.m., CSN-plus
Second place is at stake - well, almost - in this matchup, as is staying alive at having any shot at catching first place Northeastern. The Dukes, winners of six of eight, knocked off Towson on Tuesday to move into a tie with the Tigers, one-half game behind the Blue Hens. Arguably the hottest team in the CAA, Delaware has won three straight including a 76-74 thriller over Northeastern on Wednesday. Last month JMU won the first meeting 64-50 behind 15 points and 13 rebounds from senior forward Rayshawn Goins.
and beyond the CAA...
*George Washington (11-11, 5-4 Atlantic 10) at VCU (20-5, 8-2) --Saturday, 7:30 p.m.
Recently Colonials coach Mike Lonergan said he originally took the Foggy Bottom job because of the challenging A10 roster of teams - and that was before Butler and current conference-leader VCU showed up. Well, now in consecutive games GW faces arguably the top two teams, having come up short against the Bulldogs last Saturday after rallying from 17 points down to within one. We'll see if any rallying is in the Colonials future, but they certainly will be scrambling because that's what happens when teams face VCU's "Havoc" defense.
With waves of perimeter speedsters in the mix including sophomore guard Briante Weber, the Rams lead the country with 12.1 steals per game. Yes, the Colonials still start four freshmen and no matter what the backcourt trio of Joe McDonald, Patricio Garino and Kethan Savage have faced this season, nothing will compare to VCU's full court pressure. Then again, George Washington has thrived under a different type of pressure, having won three straight road games.
Since losing two straight games last month, the Rams have won four straight including an 86-68 Valentine's Day beat down over UMass. D.C.'s own Trevon Graham leads VCU with 16.0 points.

Mission Accomplished! This was the coup de grace uttered by Jim Graves in his truncated attempt at political redemption. The predictable driveled invective from the usual suspects of editorial boards and self aggrandizing societal gatekeepers over my mother's recent retirement has become pallid. However, the borrowed George W. Bush maxim by Graves was curious for a man whose political accomplishment can be summed up simply: a singular congressional loss. That isn't to say that there is shame in losing. On the contrary, losing on principle and with grace is to be commended. Losing with snark is pathetic. This ironic phraseology was used by a Minneapolis liberal who once said that if he couldn't beat Michele Bachmann in 2012 with a formative president and popular U.S. senator leading his ticket in our blue-leaning state, then the Democrats would never knock her off. Beguiled by hubris or sheer vanity, he portended himself the liberal elixir to the DFL's torment: Michele Bachmann.
If one were to indulge Mr. Graves' plagiarized proclamation, an appreciation would be had, not for his delusional narcissism, but rather the accomplishments of a four-term congresswoman from Minnesota. In the formation of the Tea Party she fostered a renewal of ideals based upon limited government, liberty and free markets. This movement served as the impetus for dismantling the unchecked stranglehold that liberalism had assumed under the guise of Hope and Change.

Cutting food programs
Disagreements over policies from Washington are common enough but, every once in a while, one stands out as especially egregious. So it is with the proposed cuts in the Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program ("food stamps") within the Farm Bill.
With our economy recovering and the federal deficit shrinking, what possible reason is there for making it harder for impoverished Americans to get enough to eat? The House version would cut $20 billion over 10 years from SNAP -- 210,000 children in low-income families would lose their free school meals. The Senate version would also introduce cuts, albeit smaller ones. The bills now are being reconciled by a conference committee.
Cutting food programs for impoverished families is as self-defeating as it is reprehensible. The National Academy of Sciences reports that food stamps helped lift nearly 4 million Americans out of poverty in 2010, while improving basic food and economic security for millions.

Blast kills 32 in Nigerian villageComment on this story
Maiduguri, Nigeria -
Hospital and local government officials say an explosion at a village market near hideouts of Islamic extremists in north-east Nigeria has killed 32 people.
Local government officials said 29 people died at the scene at Ngurosoye village. The explosion happened on Thursday and because of poor communications it is only now that word of it is getting out. The military has cut cellphone service in the area.
Ngurosoye is near the Sambisa forest in Borno state bordering Cameroon where the military has been carrying out aerial bombardments and ground assaults on camps of Islamic militants.
A hospital official said three of the injured died at the hospital on Friday and Saturday. The death toll could rise with some victims seriously injured.
Most victims were traders. - Sapa-AP

text: [[quoteright:240:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/makingfiendslogo-727434.jpg]]->''"Once there was a little girl, a girl who could make fiends,\\She kept the whole town terrified, the girl who could make fiends,\\Then there came another girl who wanted to be friends,\\Vendetta can not stand her, so she plots her end!"''''Making Fiends'' is an animated television series, created by Creator/AmyWinfrey. It is a spin-off of an online series of the same name and started airing on NicktoonsNetwork on October 4, 2008.The show revolves around the life of Charlotte, a sweet, innocent little girl who is the new girl in the town of Clamburg (she used to live in Vermont, according to the first webisode). Charlotte is also incredibly naďve, and is unable to think badly of anyone around her. Charlotte quickly makes "friends" with [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Vendetta]] (or so she thinks), a horrid little girl who makes monsters, or fiends, through baking. Vendetta cannot stand Charlotte's happy-go-lucky nature, and will often go to great lengths to destroy Charlotte (or at least get her out of the way for a little bit). These attempts inevitably backfire, usually resulting in Vendetta doing great damage to herself. When they do succeed, Charlotte can only see the bright side of her situation and will become more annoying than usual. [[StatusQuoIsGod Everything is back to normal by the end of the episode]].Vendetta, due to her fiend-making abilities, [[VillainWorld appears to have the entire town at her control]]. As such, Clamburg is a bleak, dark and forbidding place. The show seems to be cancelled at this point, as it has been almost 4 years since an episode was aired, and even reruns of the show have stopped airing, as of July 2012. The show's creator has stated that she's made 7 more episodes, but it seems Nick has no plans to air it ''WebAnimation/BigBunny'' is another web series by Amy Winfrey. It never had a chance of becoming a TV series, [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids for]] [[BloodierAndGorier various]] [[ItsShortSoItSucks reasons]].----!!''MakingFiends'' contains examples of:* AdaptationExpansion: The TV series expanded the scope of the series beyond the school and into the town, allowing for greater exploration on how Vendetta's rule works out for Clamburg. It also fleshes out Charolotte and Vendetta's home lives and provides deeper characterization for many of the side characters. * ADayInTheLimelight: Marion, Marvin and Mr. Milk "New Best Friend," "Marvin The Middle Manager," and "Toupee," respectively.* AdultsAreUseless * AffablyEvil: Charlotte in "Making Friends". Even when she's trying to kill Vendetta, she's still as [[CheerfulChild cheerful]] as ever.* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: All of the main human characters besides Charlotte and Vendetta have names that start with "M" (Marvin, Marion, Malachi, Mr. Milk, Mrs. Minty, etc).* AndThenWhat? Mr. Milk in one episode mentions how he could have put (shrunken) Vendetta in a jar, but had no idea what would happen afterwards.* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Every human character is basically a stick figure filled in with one color. Usually blue, grey or purple.* AprilFoolsDay: ** The Bulgarian Episode. As in an episode spoken completely in Bulgarian. This received a ''lot'' of complaints for being impossible to follow -- so Winfrey added subtitles that were [[GagSub intentionally mangled and grammatically incorrect.]]** The [[http://makingfiends.com/fiend/movies/aprilfoolsversions/fiend06.swf April Fools' version of the sixth webisode]] replaces all the spoken dialogue with a text-to-speech computer voice.** On April 1, 2012 uploaded a new episode called "[[http://www.makingfiends.com/fiend22.htm Making Friends]]", which reverses the roles of Charlotte and Vendetta. * ArtEvolution: From the web series to the TV series. Houses and backgrounds are heavily detailed, and the characters are geometric rather than scribbly.* AscendedExtra: Maggie, who sits in the back of the room, had exactly one line in the original webseries. On the TV show, she's gloomy and depressive. Sure, she only gets one episode, but by comparison it's a lot. * BigNo: Vendetta's usual reaction when her plans go awry.* BreakTheCutie: Averted.** Although played straight in the TV episode "No Singing", [[spoiler:when Charlotte hears a very sad poem and [[HeroicBSOD falls into a depression.]] Being Charlotte though, she does get better rather quickly.]]** Also played straight in "New Best Friend," where Vendetta befriends Marion, leaving Charlotte a sobbing wreck. It takes a while for this one.* BornInTheWrongCentury: Malachi.* ButtMonkey: Marvin is always having his property forcibly taken from him by Charlotte or Vendetta, and according to his bio on the Nickelodeon Making Fiends page, is also tormented by [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling eight younger siblings.]]* CannotSpitItOut: Mr. Milk* CatchPhrase: ''Ooh, a puppy!"** "So, she wants a [noun]? I think I will make her a [noun], a very special [noun]!"** "I will destroy you....destroy you with FIENDS!"** "My [noun]!" ** [[AnnoyingLaugh Teehee]]!** "[Person Charlotte likes] is THE BEST!"* ConditionedToAcceptHorror Maggie, who doesn't even react to Charlotte's new pony.* CrapsackWorld: Clamburg is a pretty crappy place to live, although it is implied that it used to be a nice town before Vendetta showed up.* CrossdressingVoices: Mrs. Minty is voiced by Peter Merryman, [[TalkingToHimself the same guy who voices Mr. Milk, Marvin, Malachi, Mort, Grudge, and various townspeople and fiends]].** Amy Winfrey, the show's creator, plays Charlotte, Grandma Charlene, Giant Kitty, Marion, Maggie, Buttons, and Mrs. Millet. Producer and director Dave Wasson, voices Vendetta's father, Viktor, and Mr. Gumpit. In fact, Aglaia Mortcheva is the only one ''not'' doing double duty, playing only Vendetta.** Hilariously, the [[http://makingfiends.com/fiend/movies/aprilfoolsversions/fiend06.swf April Fools' version of the sixth webisode]] replaces all the spoken dialogue with a text-to-speech computer voice. All of the voices used are male.* [[DealWithTheDevil Deal With The Toupee]]: The Toupee Fiend promises to get Mr. Milk the life and Ms. Minty he always wanted, so long as Mr. Milk kills Charlotte. [[spoiler: He doesn't go through with it, leading to a DownerEnding.]]* DevelopmentHell: The show had been in the planning stages for years and there were promos made for it ages before it actually aired on tv, only for it to get a shaky under promoted start and then tossed back into development.** The second season has been this. Six episodes in, the series stopped airing episodes. The last episode was in 2008, though the creators has season 2 episodes.* DownerEnding: Two words: Toupee episode.* DumbIsGood: Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte.* EconomyCast* EvilCannotComprehendGood: "No Singing" where Charlotte falls into depression and Vendetta tries to cheer her up (only for her to sing so a new fiend can flatten her). Her attempts to cheer her up involve the foods that she enforces upon everyone, magazines about torturing others and the other students being attacked. These don't exactly help.* ExpositoryThemeTune* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Vendetta cannot destroy Charlotte no matter how hard she tries! About halfway in the tv series, Charlotte gets even more stupider, and even more invincible.* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Played with in a bit of dialogue.-->'''Charlotte''': But Vendetta, what can I do if a kitty is stranded up high and I want to get it down?-->'''Vendetta''': [[KickTheDog You could shoot it]]...[[{{Beat}} (long pause)]]...with a [[{{Nerf}} water gun]].* FantasticRacism: Vendetta always calls Charlotte "Stupid Blue Girl!"* FunnyForeigner: Vendetta's parents.* GagSub: The April Fools' web episode, which was originally written in Bulgarian.* TheGlomp: Mr. Huggles' entire purpose.* HasTwoMommies: "Mama Vendetta"* TheHeartless: Vendetta's fiends are a subversion, as they can become tame when influenced by Charlotte.* HeyItsThatVoice / ProductionPosse: Peter Merryman is the voice of Amy Winfrey's WebAnimation/BigBunny. Amy Winfrey herself, who has also done voices in her other cartoons.* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Charlotte.* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The web animations used to come in available [=DVDs=] with many alternate versions and character commentaries of the webisodes. Since ''Making Fiends'' is licensed by Nickelodeon, the creators can't sell any of its merchandise, even what they made independently. All of the DVD was uploaded by someone on [=YouTube=] at one time, but he deleted his account over a year ago. The only way you can get a DVD of the webisodes is if you win the [[http://www.makingfiends.com/artcontest2010/contest2010.htm Making Fiends Art Contest]].** As of May 2013, Amy Winfrey has an [[http://www.youtube.com/user/fancymeats official YouTube channel]] and has uploaded all twenty-one of the original web episodes. * LickedByTheDog: Charlotte likes Vendetta despite all of the horrible things the latter tries to do to her.* LighterAndSofter: To a ''slight'' degree. In a first few episodes of the web series, there were posters in the back of the classroom that weren't very kid-friendly, such as a cat being hanged, and a poster that read [[DudeNotFunny "A is for Alimony"]]. When Nickelodeon licensed Making Fiends, these were removed. In the TV adaptions, they also changed "Hellcat" to "fiend cat" and "your eyeballs will fall out!" to "your eyebrows will fall out!".* MeaningfulName: Vendetta. Charlotte might count, depending on whether or not the StealthPun was intentional.* [[MesaCrowd Me's a Crowd]]: Charlotte in "Puppies! Puppies! Puppies!"* MisplacedKindergartenTeacher: Mrs. Minty in "The Substitute Teacher". Oddly enough, Mr. Milk seems to have [[AllLoveIsUnrequited a bit of a thing for her.]]* {{Megane}} ({{Meganekko}}): Mr. Milk and Ms. Minty.* MegaNeko: The Giant Kitty.* NeverSayDie* NonHumanSidekick: Grudge, the giant hamster.* OhCrap: Vendetta's reaction when the Canary Bombs she tossed off a cliff learn to fly and make a V-line straight for her.* ParentalAbandonment: Charlotte claims that her parents are on a space station (it is implied that they died); Vendetta keeps her parents in a hamster cage.** It's also worth noting that in "Parents", Vendetta and Malachi were the only kids to show up to the parent teacher conference with a full set of parents.* PetTheDog: Strongly averted in Vendetta's case. [[spoiler: Just tell yourself that any time it looks like Vendetta's actually doing something nice for somebody, there is always a sinister ulterior motive. ALWAYS.]]* ThePollyanna: Charlotte, to the extreme. [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Though there's always the possibility]] that she's [[StepfordSmiler not as happy as she seems]]. * RealMenWearPink: Grudge, the presumably male giant hamster, once donned a frilly, pink apron while cleaning Vendetta's house, and was shown to be very good at it. * Remaster: The webseries episodes on Amy Winfrey's YouTube account have been rerendered in HD widescreen. * RunningGag: Marvin has something of his destroyed (or injured) and goes "My ____ !"** The President's Day episode builds on this, as ''every single sentence'' of his begins "my". -->''My fellow students! My plan, if elected, is to...''-->(upon being overthrown a class president by Vendetta) ''My term...so short... My downfall...so swift..."* ShortRunners: The TV show lasted six episodes.* SlasherSmile: Vendetta got a very scary one in "Super Evil".* SnapBack: Used in many of the web episodes, [[spoiler:but subverted in episodes 18-21, when many events lead up to Clamburg being rendered uninhabitable by fiends, forcing everyone in Clamburg to board a large boat and [[DownerEnding search hopelessly for dry land]].]] * SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: In a fashion. Vendetta and Charlotte both took the quiz in Vendetta's evil magazine. To her horror, Charlotte's score indicated that she was more evil than Vendetta. This led to Vendetta studying Charlotte and attempting to learn from her.* SpannerInTheWorks: Vendetta's birthday party of DOOM for Charlotte is undone by her sheer stupidity and general niceness.** Actually, ''most'' of Vendetta's plans end up undone by Charlotte's stupidity and general niceness, in both versions.* StealthPun: In "Mama Vendetta".** "Look Vendetta! They're forming a [[ComicBook/VForVendetta 'V'! For you!]]"** Of the two main characters, [[Music/GoodCharlotte Charlotte's the nice one]].* TalkingToHimself: The voice cast for the TV series consists of just nine people, including the director and the composer. Only three of these nine people voice regulars. The web version had even fewer voice actors. Seriously.* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The clothing of the human characters is [[LongPants barely detailed]] other than that the girls wear dresses/muumuus and the boys wear shorts. Also, for some reason, all the male characters have ears and none of the females do, even if they're wearing earings.* TooDumbToLive: Charlotte again. Even the others [[{{Lampshading}} admit it]]:-->'''Charlotte:''' I wish Vendetta could be here.-->''(Happy music stops)''-->'''Maggie:''' Charlotte's dumb.** Subverted for the most part that Charlotte always seems to avoid certain death. [[spoiler: Her clones in the episode "Puppies!Puppies!Puppies!" on the other hand, plays this straight by riding a slide right into the gaping maw of a huge fiend. It takes the very last clone (after HUNDREDS) to realise what's going on, only to have the fiend's jaw snap shut on her.]]* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Vendetta and clams.* UnknownRival: Charlotte is never aware of Vendetta's mean attitude towards her.* UnluckyEverydude: Poor Marvin.* VanillaEdition: The DVD of the TV series.* VerbalTic: Marvin beginning almost every sentence with "my" and Charlotte's "tee-hee".* VillainSong: Vendetta gets "Me And My Best Friend Marion", which is a song based on pretending to be friends with marion so Charlotte won't play with Vendetta.** She also gets "If you lived upon the moon..." which is a alternate version of Charlotte's song "If I lived upon the moon", while she's pointing out the downsides of living on the moon.** She also shares quite a few songs with Charlotte. "Neighbors" and "Cheese" (While, Charlotte's dream vendetta).* VocalEvolution: From the web series to cartoon the two main characters voices deepened.* WebFirst* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Though it's implied that the birthday cake Vendetta made for Charlotte is poisoned, we never do find out what's in it (besides strawberries and clams).* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Malachi's dialogue consists exclusively of this. When asking Marion what Charlotte was doing with a giant hairbrush:-->'''Malachi''': Whither doth yon cheery one go with yon titan implement?** Even lampshaded once, where after Malachi is done talking Charlotte says, "...What?"----

Telenor : Large mobile services contract signed with Federation of Norwegian Agricultural Co-operatives Fornebu, January 16th 2013 - Telenor has won the contract to supply mobile services to AgriKjøp.
