Reno, NV (Sports Network) - Robbie Rouse gained a season-high 261 yards on 36
carries as the Fresno State Bulldogs used a big third quarter to defeat the
Nevada Wolf Pack, 52-36, in a Mountain West Conference duel at Mackay Stadium.
Rouse also scored two touchdowns for Fresno State (8-3, 6-1 MWC), which needed
a win to stay tied for first in the conference standings. Derek Carr completed
17-of-35 attempts for 220 yards and two touchdowns while Davante Adams reeled
in nine catches for 120 yards and a score. The Bulldogs' defensive unit played
a huge role as it scored twice on fumble returns and once on an interception
The Wolf Pack (6-4, 3-3), which came into the contest with an average of 523.2
yards per game, were held to 404 yards in the loss. Stefphon Jefferson was held
to 95 yards on 19 carries to make it two weeks in a row he has failed to
surpass the century mark on the ground. The Football Subdivision's leading
rusher did however manage to rush into the end zone three times. Cody Fajardo
went 21-of-39 for 214 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Nevada's
quarterback also picked up 59 yards on the ground. Richy Turner led the Wolf
Pack's receivers with 73 yards on six catches.
The high scoring affair took some time to get up to full speed. Fresno State
struck first as Carr completed a 36-yard touchdown pass to Adams at the 6:27
mark of the opening period. Jefferson scored his first rushing touchdown of the
evening with 1:26 left in the first quarter to tie it up, 7-7.
The Bulldogs received a spark from its defense in the second quarter as Derron
Smith returned an interception 34 yards for a touchdown less than five minutes
into the period. Nevada tied the score and then took its first lead as
Jefferson scored his second and third touchdowns of the contest. FSU made it a
one possession game when Carr found Marcel Jensen for a 32-yard touchdown pass
with 1:28 left before the half. Jensen's touchdown grab sent the contest into
the intermission knotted up at 21.
The back and forth battle turned into a one-sided bout in the second half as
the Bulldogs built a commanding lead. Sophomore defensive lineman Tyeler
Davison recovered a fumble in the end zone less than a minute after the third
quarter started to instantly give FSU a one touchdown lead. Quen Breshears
added a 31-yard field goal, Travis Brown returned a fumble 26 yards for six
points, and Rouse punched it in from a yard out with 5:41 left before the final
Breshears missed the extra point attempt after Rouse's first touchdown run, but
the Bulldogs did their damage and held a 44-21 lead as the game progressed into
the fourth quarter.
Fajardo ended the run by completing an 11-yard touchdown pass to Nick Hale just
one minute into the fourth stanza. FSU answered as Rouse broke away for a
backbreaking 39-yard touchdown run. The Wolf Pack continued to fight back and
Anthony Knight scored on a one-yard touchdown run with 4:21 left. Fajardo
completed a pass to Brandon Wimberly for two points on the ensuing conversion
play, but it was too little too late and the Wolf Pack lost by 16 points.
Both teams managed to move the ball with success in the shootout. Both offenses
combined for 904 total yards of offense.

Literary Betting: Popular Abroad, but Could It Catch on Here?
When Mario Vargas Llosa won the Nobel Prize for Literature this week, the British literary betting agent Ladbrokes couldn't have been more pleased. Ladbrokes had given Vargas Llosa slim odds of winning the prize so when Vargas Llosa won, Ladbrokes avoided a massive payout.

Comments On Apr 05, 2016:i put it on a yz85, price was better than some, but depending on what gear you are using you may have to bend the mounting bracket to fit over the axle bolt

Comments On Jul 29, 2014:I read a few reviews on this before purchase, most said it is too upright. They are right, if you are trying to stand this bike up on flat ground... put some thing under the rear tire or find a divot for the leg to sit in. But, being out on the trail not needing a stick or hill to lean it on... saves the day.

Comments On Oct 24, 2013:It looks like " a after market type Kick stand! I sure wish some one out there built a kick stand that looked liked it came from yamaha! trail tech builds one for my yz 125 also Ricohet kickstand needs to have a little more lean / slant on the kickstand! the bike stands to verdical!!!
Thanks for having and building one for my wifes bike!

Comments On Nov 30, 2012:requires some minor bending to fit a 2001 RM 125. Good product though!

Comments On Nov 05, 2012:I bought this for my son's YZ85, it was just a little too tall and it never really worked well unless you kicked some dirt out from under the stand. Would not buy again.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 09, 2012:After leaning the bike on slight grades the weight of my CR250 (without rider) eventually bowed out the brackets causing stand to come loose. I've elected to go without now.
Additionally, on the 02-07 CR250 the stand rubs the swingarm when mounted. Not a good fit.

Comments On Jun 22, 2012:installed on a CR250 2001. Install was easy after we removed the rear tire. I wish they had one that would fit our 97 RMX 250. would buy it without hesitation.

Comments On Mar 06, 2012:Goes on fairly easy and does hold the bike good on some surfaces, but it sits the bike to upright and wants to fall over the opposite way. Needs to be just a little shorter in my opinion. When there is NO trees you will be glad you have it.

Not quite cinema verite of old, but with the obligatory shakiness of a hand-held camera, Rachel Getting Married feels as though the film's director (Jonathan Demme of Silence of the Lambs, Beloved, Philadelphia ) was provided unfiltered access to capture the intimate conversations, tragedies and joys of a dysfunctional family brought together to celebrate Rachel's big day. What makes this film so visceral in its immediacy and kinetic energy is in large part due to how the film was shot and the way in which many of the scenes feel as though they were improvised or at the very least, minimally scripted and choreographed to allow the actors freedom to embody the naturalism of the moment. Though I would have preferred another actress as the rehab-prone enfant terrible (sorry Anne Hathaway fans), Rachel Getting Married's strength as a film comes from the strong ensemble cast who did well to transform a rather stale plotline into a well-mannered and passable drama.

Bono, Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr., otherwise known as the rock band U2, have been rocking out and filling arenas since they formed in 1976. Arguably the most successful and popular music act around these days, the band has released 12 studio albums and have sold more than 150 million albums worldwide.
Being U2 aficionados we have attempted to construct a list of U2's 10 best songs. Many gems have sadly been omitted as one can easily come up with 100 great songs. Let us know below which U2 songs you would including in your top ten U2 list.
So without further ado, put on your knit hat and your fly goggles as we present to you our top ten best tunes
1. "Where the Streets have no Name"
This iconic song that opens the Joshua Tree album has a bombast matched by few other songs. The Edge felt he had come up with "the most amazing guitar part and song of (his) life." The third single off the seminal album climbed all the way up to number 13 on the US charts and number 4 in the UK. The tune is probably best known for its video of the band performing the song live on a Los Angeles rooftop before being stopped by the police.
2. "One"
Arguably one of the best rock ballads ever written "One" was released as the third track off of Achtung Baby in March 1992. At that point in time the band members were at odds with each other coming very close to the brink of splitting up due to differences over the sound and quality of the recordings. This song unified the band and made them one again. "One" reached the #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and #1 on Us Billboard Modern Rock Tracks Chart.
3. "(Pride) In the Name of Love"
This song vaulted the band to commercial success in the US as the group's first top 40 hit in the states. Written about the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. the tune was the lead single off of 1984's "The Unforgettable Fire". Bono was actually dissatisfied with the lyrics calling them " simple sketches". This may lend to the song's universal appeal, however.
4. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
This gospel-leaning hit was released in May 1987 and was the second consecutive single from "The Joshua Tree" to rise to number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song is a highlight of the group's live show as witnessed in the band's rock film "Rattle and Hum" as Bono soulfully croons accompanied by a full-fledged gospel choir.
5. "Sunday Bloody Sunday"
The controversial song conveyed the aversion to the Troubles in Northern Ireland as well as senseless violence and killing around the world . The band was not glorifying violence of any kind in the region. It is widely considered one of the world's best political protest songs. Released in March 1983 as the third single off of "War", the song helped the band reach a wider listening audience.
6."Walk On"
The fourth single from "All That You Can't Leave Behind" was released in November of 2001. It was written about the Burmese politician and activist Aung San Suu Kyi. The song took on a new meaning and purpose in light of the September 2001 terrorist attack on New York City. It brought a ray of hope to the darkness at the time.
7. "With or Without You"
The band's first number one hit single in America from "Joshua Tree" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks straight in 1987. A rare and gorgeous love song written by Bono explores the balance in his life between being a musician and a domestic man. "With or Without You" made the cut as the number one song on Rolling Stone's list of "100 Greatest Pop Songs" and is the group's second most covered song.
8. "Even Better Than the Real Thing"
Off the experimental and electro "Achtung Baby", it was released as the fourth single in June 1992. It evolved from a demo entitled "Real Thing". Bono describes the hit as ""(being) reflective of the times [the band] were living in, when people were no longer looking for the truth, [they] were all looking for instant gratification." This became a theme of the band throughout the 90s.
9. "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)"
This song that was heavily influenced by Sinatra and even was entitled "Sinatra" while in its working stages. The band completed the "Stay" when German Director Wim Wenders was looking for a song for his new movie "Faraway, So Close!" Bono has said the song was one of his personal favorites by U2 and perhaps the most underrated. It was released as the album's third single from "Zooropa" in November 1993. The beautiful music video was shot by Wenders himself and features the movie's hallmark of angels falling to earth.
10. "Beautiful Day"
One of U2's biggest hits helped launch the album "All That You Can't Leave Behind" to multi-platinum status. The Edge went back to his 80s guitar sound on this album that was a topic of controversy among the band members. The song, described as Bono about losing everything but still finding joy in what you have, won Grammy Awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Rock performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

Stomach cancer is cancer that occurs in the stomach — the muscular sac located in the upper middle of your abdomen, just below your ribs. Your stomach receives and holds the food you eat and then helps to break down and digest it.
Another term for stomach cancer is gastric cancer. These two terms most often refer to stomach cancer that begins in the mucus-producing cells on the inside lining of the stomach (adenocarcinoma). Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of stomach cancer.
Stomach cancer is uncommon in the United States, and the number of people diagnosed with the disease each year is declining. Stomach cancer is much more common in other areas of the world, particularly China and Japan.
Signs and symptoms of stomach cancer may include:
If you have signs and symptoms that worry you, make an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor will likely investigate more common causes of these signs and symptoms first.
Doctors aren't sure what causes stomach cancer. There is a strong correlation between a diet high in smoked, salted and pickled foods and stomach cancer. As the use of refrigeration for preserving foods has increased around the world, the rates of stomach cancer have declined.
In general, cancer begins when an error (mutation) occurs in a cell's DNA. The mutation causes the cell to grow and divide at a rapid rate and to continue living when a normal cell would die. The accumulating cancerous cells form a tumor that can invade nearby structures. And cancer cells can break off from the tumor to spread throughout the body.
The cells that form the tumor determine the type of stomach cancer. The type of cells in your stomach cancer helps determine your treatment options. Types of stomach cancer include:
Because the other types of stomach cancer are rare, when people use the term "stomach cancer" they generally are referring to adenocarcinoma.
Factors that increase your risk of stomach cancer include:
Start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have signs or symptoms that worry you. If your doctor suspects you may have a stomach problem, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in gastrointestinal diseases (gastroenterologist). Once stomach cancer is diagnosed you may be referred to a cancer specialist (oncologist) or a surgeon who specializes in operating on the digestive tract.
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For stomach cancer, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions as they occur to you during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow more time later to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose stomach cancer include:
The stage of your stomach cancer helps your doctor decide which treatments may be best for you. Tests and procedures used to determine the stage of cancer include:
Other staging tests may be used, depending on your situation.
The stages of adenocarcinoma stomach cancer include:
Your treatment options for stomach cancer depend on the stage of your cancer, your overall health and your preferences.
The goal of surgery is to remove all of the stomach cancer and a margin of healthy tissue, when possible. Options include:
Surgery carries a risk of bleeding and infection. If all or part of your stomach is removed, you may experience digestive problems.
Radiation therapy uses high-powered beams of energy, such as X-rays, to kill cancer cells. The energy beams come from a machine that moves around you as you lie on a table.
Radiation therapy can be used before surgery (neoadjuvant radiation) to shrink a stomach tumor so that it's more easily removed. Radiation therapy can also be used after surgery (adjuvant radiation) to kill any cancer cells that might remain around your stomach. Radiation is often combined with chemotherapy. In cases of advanced cancer, radiation therapy may be used to relieve side effects caused by a large tumor.
Radiation therapy to your stomach can cause diarrhea, indigestion, nausea and vomiting.
Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses chemicals to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs travel throughout your body, killing cancer cells that may have spread beyond the stomach.
Chemotherapy can be given before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) to help shrink a tumor so that it can be more easily removed. Chemotherapy is also used after surgery (adjuvant chemotherapy) to kill any cancer cells that might remain in the body. Chemotherapy is often combined with radiation therapy. Chemotherapy may be used alone in people with advanced stomach cancer to help relieve signs and symptoms.
Chemotherapy side effects depend on which drugs are used. The type of stomach cancer you have determines which chemotherapy drugs you'll receive.
Targeted therapy uses drugs that attack specific abnormalities within cancer cells. Targeted drugs used to treat stomach cancer include:
Tests of your cancer cells can tell your doctor whether these treatments are likely to work for you.
Clinical trials are studies of new treatments and new ways of using existing treatments. Participating in a clinical trial may give you a chance to try the latest treatments. But clinical trials can't guarantee a cure. In some cases, researchers might not be certain of a new treatment's side effects.
Ask your doctor whether you may be eligible for a clinical trial. Together you can discuss the benefits and risks.
A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming and frightening. Once you start to adjust after the initial shock of your diagnosis, you may find it helps to stay focused on tasks that help you cope. For example, try to:
It's not clear what causes stomach cancer, so there's no way to prevent it. But you can take steps to reduce your risk of stomach cancer by making small changes to your everyday life. For instance, try to:

Parents have been alerted to a case of whooping cough at one Craven County elementary school.
The Craven County School system says there's been one case of the highly contagious disease at Bridgeton Elementary School, confirmed by the Craven County Health Department.
Letters were send out to parents today and they also sent out an in-touch message as well.
Whooping cough is a very serious disease, especially for young children and infants less than one year old. The disease is highly contagious and can be easily spread through talking, sneezing or coughing.
Symptoms start out with a runny nose, sneezing, mild fever and a cough that slowly gets worse. The next stage has uncontrolled coughing spells or fits, especially at night, and a high-pitched "whoop" sound when the person inhales.
Last October, 90 people were exposed to whooping cough in Lenoir County.

In honor of True Blood Sundays.
If the title didn't get your attention, this full size picture should:
This is probably one of the most awesome Stone covers ever. The only thing that would have made it better would be if they replaced a lame Sookie with a naked blood soaked Halloween Harlot. We can't all be perfect though.
Anyway, here's the plan. This picture has inspired me to throw a hot vampire orgy sex party (even if it's just in my head).
First step: Invite sexy vampire friends (remember: you MUST invite them in) All pre-party fang re-vamping can be done here. Also invite a flock of Fang-Bangers for food supply.
Second step: Provide mood lighting and ample beverages.
Sample Beverage List:
BLOODY MARY (what's a vampire party without a classic bloody?)
|INGREDIENTS: 1 part Vodka, Tomato juice, splash of Tabasco, a splash of Worchester, a little horseradish, a slice of lime
|INSTRUCTIONS: Mix Vodka and Tomato juice and serve over ice with a splash of Tabasco, a splash of Worchester sauce. Mix in a little horseradish if you want a little more of a kick. Place a slice of lime on the rim.
SERVING GLASS: Tall glass.GARNISH: Celery Stick
|INGREDIENTS: 2 parts vodka, 3 parts bourbon, 1 part red wine, 3 drops of virgin blood
|INSTRUCTIONS: Mix all ingredients in a blender and heat over an open flame for 20 minutes. Serve with extreme caution!
SERVING GLASS: Wine glass or hurricane glassGARNISH: 3 cherries
|INGREDIENTS: Amaretto, Southern Comfort, Sloe Gin, Orange Juice, Vodka, Triple Sec, Lime Juice
|INSTRUCTIONS: Mix one part of each in a cocktail mixer with ice. Strain into shot glasses (or serve over ice if you want to get trashed faster)
Goes down like fruit punch… be warned!
SERVING GLASS: Shot Glasses
GARNISH: None
Third Step: Cover furniture/floors in saran wrap a la Dexter style.
Fourth Step: Get everyone drunk and naked and covered in blood…. and proceed with vampire sex orgy.
I mean. It's so simple that even a Jason Stackhouse could do it.

An 'Eeveelution' (Japanese: ブイズ Buizu) is a popular term among fans that is used for the current group of eight Pokémon that evolve from Eevee. Eeveelution is a portmanteau from the words "Eevee" and "evolution". The term Eeveelution is because Eevee can evolve in different kinds of other Eeveelutions but with different kinds of types. The Eeveelutions are very liked among collectors when it goes about a full set of all eight evolutions including Eevee.
Many Eeveelutions have made their first appearances in almost every Pokemon handheld game since Generation I. The first three to be introduced in the first generation are Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon, which evolve from Eevee through the use of a Water Stone, Thunderstone, and Fire Stone, respectively. Two more Eeveelutions were later introduced: Espeon and Umbreon. These two can only evolve from an Eevee with a high level of happiness, and at different times of the day (Espeon during the day/morning, Umbreon during the night/dusk), starting in Generation II, and onward. In Generation III, no new Eeveelutions were introduced, but in Generation IV, two new Eeveelutions were created, which are: Leafeon, who evolves from Eevee when leveled up near the green moss stone in Eterna Forest, and Glaceon, who evolves from Eevee when leveled up near an ice rock on Route 216/217. In February of 2013, Nintendo revealed a new Eeveelution for Generation VI, named Sylveon.
Generation I
There were three Eeveelutions introduced in the first generation of the Pokémon series, all three of which are obtainable through use of a Water Stone, Fire Stone and Thunderstone.
- Main article: Eevee
Eevee is the base Pokemon of the Eeveelution chain, and is considered to be one of the most popular and fan-favorited of all the Pokemon. Eevee was introduced in Generation I, and can be obtained in Pokémon Green, Red, Blue, LeafGreen and, FireRed at the top floor of the Celadon Condominiums in Celadon City , but the player can only obtain one per game. Eevee can also be obtained in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver from the NPC named Bill after speaking to him in his house in Goldenrod City if you have already meet him in the Pokémon Center in Ecruteak City. There is a second way to obtain Eevee in Pokémon Gold and Silver, which requires the player to obtain a total of 6666 coins at the Game Corner. Eevee is also obtainable as a starter Pokémon in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness . In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the player will obtain an Eevee from the NPC Bebe in Hearthome City, but there is a difference between versions. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the player will obtain an Eevee from Bebe after obtaining the National Pokédex, but in Pokémon Platinum, obtaining Eevee from Bebe does not need a prerequisite. Eevees can also be found in the wild at the Trophy Garden of Backlot Mansion below Hearthome City. Eevee can also be obtained as a gift in Pokémon Black and White 2 from Amanita in Castelia City, but is extremely hard to find in Castelia City.
- Main article: Vaporeon
- Main article: Jolteon
- Main article: Flareon
Flareon is the Fire-Type Flame Pokemon and one of Eevee's final evolution forms, and can onty be obtained through use of a Fire Stone. Flareon is weak against Vaporeon, since Fire-Type Pokemon are weak to Water-Type abilities.
Generation II
Espeon is an evolution of Eevee, it is of the psychic type and along with Umbreon takes advantage of the Day/night and friendship features, Eevee will only evolve into Espeon with high friendship in the day time.
- Main article: Espeon
- Main article: Umbreon
Umbreon is the dark type Eeveelution, it takes advatage of the friendship and day night features, Eevee will only evolve into Umbreon with high friendship at night.
Generation IV
- Main article: Leafeon
Leafeon is the Grass type Eeveelution, an Eevee will only evolve into Leafeon if the player character touches a mossy rock, then levels up the Eevee in one of the sections of grass directly next to it.
- Main article: Glaceon
Glaceon is the Ice type Eeveelution it is ice type and an Eevee will evolve into Glaceon if the player character touches an icy rock, then levels the Eevee up next to the icy rock.
Generation VI
- Main article: Sylveon
CoroCoro Magazine revealed a new Eeveelution in February of 2013 for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS games, Pokémon X and Y, named Sylveon. As of March of 2013, Sylveon's type is unknown, as well as its ability(s) and how it will be obtained.
- The two Generation IV Eeveelutions were both owned by rivals of Dawn. Zoey owns Leafeon and May owns Glaceon.
- Also Dawn's other rival, Ursula has a Vaporeon and Flareon.
- All but Jolteon have been owned by a character who plays a large role in multiple episodes and isn't a Gym Leader.
- No new Eeveelutions were revealed in Generation III or V.
- Ursula has a Vaporeon and Flareon.
- Sakura has an Espeon.
- Gary has an Umbreon.
- Zoey has a Leafeon.
- May has a Glaceon.
- Virgil had all current know Eeveelutions until Gen. VI.

Education is termed as an important component in man's life and engine of the economy. In other words, education is the brain of the socio-economic development of any country.
Just like the human brain which controls and commands the functions of all other organs of the body, education determines the type of human resources and the economy which will drive the development of the country.
The philosophical, political, cultural and economic orientation and identity of a certain society or country are embodied and transmitted to members of the society through education, whether be formal or non-formal.
Through an education system children and adults learn about their society, their roles and responsibilities toward society development…
Knowing the importance of education toward the socio-economic development of the society and as a brain or an engine which controls and determines the development of various sectors of the economy, one could therefore, conclude that the education system of a society need to be stable, well structured and have firm foundation which could not be shaken easily.
The human brain is fragile to frequently disturbances or shocks. If frequent shocks happen, the results are that the person will either have trauma, faint or get extreme effects such as paralysis or even death. That's why the brain has been well protected in the hard skull with the fluids which absorb various shocks we encounter in our daily life. The same way our education system needs to be well protected against shocks.
Since independence, out education system seem to have gone through a number of significant changes, according to my opinion, some of which were necessary and some were not necessary.
As we obtained independence, it was necessary to make some changes from colonial education system to fit our political and economic orientation. The Education for Self Reliance (ESR) policy booklet published in March 1967, argue that policy aimed at re-defining the purpose of education. It aimed at eliminating colonial education system which aimed at inculcating colonial attitudes of human inequality and domination of the weak by the strong.
The ESR policies therefore, aimed at changing the elitist education system and therefore enable wider part of the society access education. Moreover, to inculcate in people the sense of valuing work as an integral part of education. This paradigm shift from colonial education to our own system of education seems to have strong justification.
However, in the last two decades there has been a dramatic change in the education system which affected curriculum, textbooks, and many more. However, all these changes have not been due to changing of various socio-economic policies but due to the wishes of the prevailing education ministers.
In 2004, the then Minister of Education, Joseph Mungai announced that some subjects especially in business studies will no longer be taught in secondary schools. Moreover, he introduced a new subject known as "Unified Science" whereby physics, chemistry and biology were combined as one subject. He further, eliminated sports activities and competitions in schools.
By the time he was eliminating business studies in secondary schools, the University of Dar es Salaam, has just started a Bachelor of Education (Commerce) course in order to produce graduate teachers in business studies who were lacking in secondary schools.
In addition there was a Physical Education course which was producing sports and physical education teachers for secondary schools. Moreover, he unified primary school geography, history and civic education into Social Skills.
Mr. Mungai's decision was followed by wide criticisms from academia and other members of the society, but nothing was changed.
Later on, in 2005, Mrs Margaret Sitta, became the Minister of Education and Vocation Training, and she reinstated all the curriculum which were there before 2004 changes. The Minister defended her position that it was necessary to reinstate the former curriculum after realizing that the 2004 changes reduced a number of subjects in secondary schools after elimination of studies in vocational, business, agriculture, home economics and sports activities. Moreover, formulation of unified science was also not fruitful. The government reinstated all former subjects at primary and secondary school levels.
In October, 2010 it was reported in this newspaper that the then Minister of Education and Vocational Education, Professor Jumanne Maghembe announced that according to 2010 CCM Manifesto, the government has plans of overhauling the country's education system to enable primary education to run from nursery school straight to Form Four beginning 2012.
This effectively means that Tanzanians will since then be studying non-stop to Form Four. He added that the Standard Seven examination will not be used to split or classify pupils but only to test how well they will have done in Standard Seven. The point here is that all Standard Seven pupils will proceed without let or hindrance from primary school to Form Four.
Professor Maghembe's statement met a lot of criticisms from the academia and other members of the society, whereby some of them even called it "suicidal, because the foundation will be too weak to withstand the pressure" and that "the government should ensure that pupils completing primary school education are really well groomed as demanded. Swamping them only with theories for all those years is unlikely to have positive results".
We have recently heard on the on going review of Education and Training Policy which is undertaken by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training.
During the inauguration of Education convocation organized by the School of Education, University of Dar es Salaam, the Deputy Minister for Education and Vocational Training told journalists that the reviews of the Education and Training Policy will include shortening of primary education circle years.
From seven years to six years, while pre primary school will be one year instead of two years. Children will be enrolled in pre primary schools when they reach 5 years, and enrolment in primary schools will take children aged 6 years. These some of the few ideas from the new management of the ministry to be revealed.
I am yet to know what other ideas, innovations and wisdoms which will transpire in the near future from the ministry for our education system whether they are going to continue with ideas of the former ministers or they are going to come up with new sustainable ideas and innovations.
As I said before that education is the brain and engine of the socio-economic development, therefore we need to take cautious measure to ensure that it become stable in order for it to produce the highly qualified and skilled manpower which will take us to the development level we need to reach.
Frequent changes make our 'brain' unstable and we cannot expect the whole 'body' to be stable either. Most of the changes which the previous ministers have made were not out of a general consensus with education stakeholders but it seem that it is either their personal views or just few people making decision for something which will affect all sectors of our lives.
My challenged to the government especially the Ministers for Education, that instead of concentrating on playing around and experimenting their ideas or trying to leave their legacy, they should concentrate on the most pressing needs in the education system such as lack teaching and learning facilities in ward secondary schools, teachers incentives, infrastructure development, mass failures in primary and secondary education and the like. It is my hope that the coming education policy and programmes will ensure that they draw a sustainable 'road map' towards the 'land of promise'-quality education for all Tanzanians.
I am not quite sure how much power is vested into the minister to make any changes in the education sector without consultation with education stakeholders at all levels.
But if that is the case, then there is a need to put some checks and balances on the ministers, so that they cannot make their personal decisions today and when they are out the next minister eliminate the former ideas and instate new ones. We need a stable education system which will have a long-term vision not only during the term of the ministers.

Admission Procedures
Admissions procedures differ between undergraduate and graduate classes. For undergraduate admissions please see the procedures below. For graduate admissions please click here.
Undergraduate admissions procedures for Xavier are described in the Xavier University Catalog. Admission procedures differ slightly for traditional undergraduates, transfers, international students, and non-traditional students (age 22 or older).
Admission is either granted or denied to the University as a whole. The Williams College of Business does not have a separate admission procedure.
Transfer Students
Transfers from the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Professional Sciences are automatically accepted into the Williams College of Business.
Transfer students from other universities are first evaluated by the admissions office, and then a formal transfer evaluation is conducted by the Director of Undergraduate Programs in the Williams College of Business.
Non-traditional Students
Students admitted through the center for adult and part-time students (CAPS) and the weekend degree program are subject to similar standards as traditional undergraduates and transfers, but more attention is given to the applicant's employment history and letters of reference. Usually it has been a number of years since the student attended college, and the CAPS staff therefore pays slightly less attention to the GPA than for a traditional transfer. Probationary acceptances are frequently made, and the student is required to take a limited course load for the first semester. A number of "success stories" have resulted from such probationary admissions (See CAPS folder in Resource Room).
International Students
In addition to the conditions for freshman admission listed above, international students must have a minimum score of 530 on the paper-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

Lil' Probe'Inn
this wiki
The Lil' Probe'Inn is a bar in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The bar is situated in Bone County, next to a dried lake (possibly San Andreas' equivalent to Groom Lake, a dry lake next to Area 51), and is only a few miles from Area 69. Immediately to the east are Green Palms and Octane Springs. The Lil' Probe'Inn is based off the Lil' A'Le'Inn in Rachel, Nevada (a town just north of Area 51), and is additionally distinguished by a variety of photographs hung on its walls that seemingly depict flying saucers; a map of San Andreas with a number of marks is also found in its back room. The purpose of this map is unknown, but is likely to be the result of a UFO hunter's spare time (interestingly, this map also appears in Mike Toreno's Ranch). There is also a functioning billiards table, where the player can play Pool against a competitor and bet money. The radio inside the bar is the K-Rose.
There is a small trailer park across the Lil' Probe Inn, probably meant to emulate the rest of Rachel, Nevada. The only cars that spawn in the trailer park are Beater Glendales. There are three solar panels at the trailer park that make decent stunt ramps.
- Desert Eagle (Next to the end of one of the solar panels at the trailer park).
- Pool Cue (After a game of pool)
- The name Lil' Probe'Inn is spelled as deliberately as its namesake, the Lil' A'Le'Inn, whose name, when spoken with apostrophes, sounds like "Little Alien". Similarly, Lil' Probe'Inn sounds like "Little Probing", a double entendre indicating both sexual penetration and the infamous anal probes supposedly used on abductees by curious aliens.
- You can enter blue hell in the diner. You must jump at the crates, at the back of a bar. It is one of the only ways to get in Blue Hell without cheats.
- There is a glitch that makes the pool player in the bar invulnerable to a stealth kill.
- The locations pinpointed on the map are believed to have something to do with myths. One mark is at the river between Shady Creeks and Back O' Beyond; another at Easter Bay Chemicals , Area 69 , the inn itself, Green Palms , and Arco del Oeste.
- Sometimes, if you kill all the people inside the diner, and then go into the back room, upon re-entering the main area, more people will have spawned.
- If you gain a wanted level whilst inside, cops may spawn inside the building and attack you.
- There is a total of 69 pictures related to UFO's, it is likely that this is a sexual joke by Rockstar.
- The map at the inn is a map of the beta-version of San Andreas.

This is Python version 3.0 final
For notes specific to this release, see RELNOTES in this directory. Copyright (c) 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 Python Software Foundation. All rights reserved.
Python 3 (a.k.a. "Python 3000" or "Py3k", and released as Python 3.0) is a new version of the language, which is incompatible with the 2.x line of releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed.
Documentation for Python 3.0 is online, updated twice a day:
All documentation is also available online at the Python web site (http://docs.python.org/, see below). It is available online for occasional reference, and it can be downloaded in many formats for faster local access. The documentation is downloadable in HTML, PostScript, PDF, LaTeX (through 2.5), and reStructuredText (2.6, 3.0, and going forward) formats; the LaTeX and reStructuredText versions are primarily for documentation authors, translators, and people with special formatting requirements.
This is a work in progress; please help improve it!
The design documents for Python 3 are also online. While the reference documentation is being updated, the PEPs are often the best source of information about new features. Start by reading PEP 3000:
What's New
For an overview of what's new in Python 3.0, see Guido van Rossum's blog at artima.com:
We try to eventually have a comprehensive overview of the changes in the "What's New in Python 3.0" document, found at
Please help improve it!
For a more detailed change log, read Misc/NEWS, though this file, too, is incomplete, and also doesn't list anything merged in from the 2.6 release.
If you want to install multiple versions of Python see the section below entitled "Installing multiple versions".
Proposals for enhancement
If you have a proposal to change Python, you may want to send an email to the comp.lang.python or python-ideas mailing lists for initial feedback. A Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) may be submitted if your idea gains ground. All current PEPs, as well as guidelines for submitting a new PEP, are listed at http://www.python.org/dev/peps/.
Converting From Python 2.x to 3.0
Python 2.6 contains features to help locating and updating code that needs to be changed when migrating to Python 3.
A source-to-source translation tool, "2to3", can take care of the mundane task of converting large amounts of source code. It is not a complete solution but is complemented by the deprecation warnings in 2.6. This tool is currently available via the Subversion sandbox:
Installing multiple versions
On Unix and Mac systems if you intend to install multiple versions of Python using the same installation prefix (--prefix argument to the configure script) you must take care that your primary python executable is not overwritten by the installation of a different version. All files and directories installed using "make altinstall" contain the major and minor version and can thus live side-by-side. "make install" also creates ${prefix}/bin/python which refers to ${prefix}/bin/pythonX.Y. If you intend to install multiple versions using the same prefix you must decide which version (if any) is your "primary" version. Install that version using "make install". Install all other versions using "make altinstall".
For example, if you want to install Python 2.5, 2.6 and 3.0 with 2.6 being the primary version, you would execute "make install" in your 2.6 build directory and "make altinstall" in the others.
Issue Tracker and Mailing List
We're soliciting bug reports about all aspects of the language. Fixes are also welcome, preferable in unified diff format. Please use the issue tracker:
If you're not sure whether you're dealing with a bug or a feature, use the mailing list:
To subscribe to the list, use the Mailman form:
Build Instructions
On Unix, Linux, BSD, OSX, and Cygwin:
./configure make make test sudo make install # or "make altinstall"
You can pass many options to the configure script; run "./configure --help" to find out more. On OSX and Cygwin, the executable is called python.exe; elsewhere it's just python.
On Mac OS X, if you have configured Python with --enable-framework, you should use "make frameworkinstall" to do the installation. Note that this installs the Python executable in a place that is not normally on your PATH, you may want to set up a symlink in /usr/local/bin.
On Windows, see PCbuild/readme.txt.
If you wish, you can create a subdirectory and invoke configure from there. For example:
mkdir debug cd debug ../configure --with-pydebug make make test
(This will fail if you also built at the top-level directory. You should do a "make clean" at the toplevel first.)

The Puerto Rican Connection
this wiki
|This article or section needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of GTA Wiki
- "But I'm pure ghetto, man."
- — Manny Escuela.
The Puerto Rican Connection is the final mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to Niko Bellic by Manny Escuela.
In the cutscene Manny is watching the video of him and says it doesn't make him look street. He then asks Niko to kill some of his old buddies who made fun of him and his new film. So Niko goes to the train station and waits for it. The target you are looking for is on the train, so you need to follow it and eliminate him when he gets off. The chase will lead to Cayuga Avenue in Schottler.
Make your way up to the platform and eliminate the three targets. It might be useful to take cover before launching your attack, but if you start with full health and a decent weapon such as the Micro-SMG, then it shouldn't be necessary.
If you don't kill them when they get off the train, they get into a car and you must follow them until they arrive at the back of the Burger Shot Broker branch, and you have to hunt them down there. After this Niko refuses to do any more work for Manny.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the Algonquin Bridge.
- The target is on that train. Follow the train and take him out when he gets off.
- The target got off the train.
- Take out the targets.
Video Walkthrough
- The mission is an obvious homage to the film The French Connection, in which Gene Hackman, playing a New York cop, chases a hitman on an elevated train in identical fashion.
- In the beginning cutscene of the mission Manny says "Im a Lord not a Lady", referring to a show in another Rockstar game, Max Payne.
- The name of the mission could also be a play on Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection.
- The train travels on the wrong side of the tracks, an error also found in the missions Three Leaf Clover and For the Man Who Has Everything.
- On its way, the train passes Hove Beach station, but will not call there.
- If the second part of "Out of the Closet" isn't completed, the "date" may start during the mission.
- After completing this mission, Niko will receive a text message from an "Unknown" sender, asking him to meet at the end of the pier at Castle Gardens. Doing so will trigger the first mission for Francis McReary.
- Upon completing this mission, the random characters, Ilyena, Hossan, Sara and Pathos become available.

The size is absolutely mindblowing, very impressive! Great work!
I guess it's time to show you a mapping project I've been working on. It's based on very simple pencil maps a close friend of mine made for a fantasy world called "Timnath" about 30 years ago. Well, after over 120ish hours over the last month, I'm thrilled to say - I'm finished!
As some of you may recall, I posted a thread or two out here when I was struggling with finding the best techniques for a usable tabletop map style. This is a project that I actually started about four years ago, but (frankly) stalled out when I couldn't find a cartography style I could draw with that didn't take 15-20 hours per map tile. Inspiration hit over the holidays, I came up with a technique that let me work a map in about 3 hours (average), and I decided to finally attack the project from scratch one more time - and get these maps DONE!
To give you an idea of how big this thing really is: Each map tile is a full 8.5 x 11 inches @ 300ppi. When printed edge to edge this map is 110" (w) x 102" (h)! It contains numerous climates and features: Arctic, Alpine, Temperate, Arid, Volcanic, Swamp, Jungle, Desert, Mesas, Tropical, etc. Talk about diversity. Each hex is 9 sq miles (or 3 miles edge to edge).
Part of the project is to build a website around this fantasy world. As part of this, I put the map tiles all together in a webpage to show the whole "world" at once. You can click into any of the tiles for a close up. I'll be adding notes to all the maps as my friend sends them over, and making any necessary tweaks.
I still need to put together the map legend so everything makes more sense. Also, if you look, you'll note some anomalies with the rivers and some geographic "problems"... that's how the original maps were drawn, and my interpretation needed to respect those elements. It's a fantasy world where magic messes with everything anyway!
This is probably the single biggest creative project I've ever done. Whew, indeed!
Here's the link (if you are interested):
World of Timnath > World Map
Thanks to those of you who gave me advice way back when. Thanks to all the great artists here who continue to inspire me (I lurk for ideas at times).
Thanks for taking the time to look.

My finished maps
Mapping Worlds (My blog about mapping)
Imaginary maps (My facbook page devoted to mapping)
Agreed, that's massive! Great stuff.
Nice, it reminds me good old rpg maps !
A very big playing field !
Wow it really is a wonderful piece of art. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Thanks very much. It should be known that this campaign world is still in use today. Since 1979. We have used the maps for everything from party travel, to encounter tables, to regional events, to full on military war gaming over approximately 200 in-game years; much of this was documented as we went.
Every single location, some dungeon markers, and every road, was put there (and subsequently destroyed or taken over) by a player character. Occasionally, PCs would drop stars on each other... or attempt to. Thus the many craters.
The campaign follows a loosely Ptolemaic cosmology. The world is flat, gradually sloping in altitude as you go West. It floats on an ocean, and the whole environment is contained by a glass sphere. Stars are suspended by powerful, magic threads which can be severed by high level mages who have discovered the appropriate spell...
On average we get together just about every Friday evening. Numerous players have come and gone, each leaving their mark. We have about 12 active players now. Ages 17-50.
I will be fleshing out the site as more comes available. There are some hand drawn cities that are jaw dropping in detail...

Finished phase 2 and 3. Should be done now... I hope.
As planned, I went back and made a gigantic composite of all the tiles, then fixed all edge matching and created the continuous hex grid so it's all completely seamless edge-to-edge. The files were truly gargantuan (7.5GB for the geography and about 5GB for the various overlays). When flattened it's still a 200MB JPG. It comes in at 110" x 102". Yeowza.
Also created a nice legend so everything can be identified.
I recreated all the standard sized tiles with hex grid, then created a mega version that's only sliced into four huge tiles without a hex grid. I did this so we can do several other types of overlays and slice it up as needed. I'll be printing the quad tiles at work - so it should come out at 84" x 80", roughly. I can't wait to put it up on a big wall.
Here's a link to the revised standard tiles and legend:
World of Timnath > World Map
Here's a link to the quad sliced larger version:
World of Timnath > World Map Quad
Thanks for the feedback guys. I do appreciate it.
This is a very interesting work. Good job!
This is pretty amazing. Just the sheer amount of love and attention that went into this are mind-blowing. 30 freakin' years!
I got the opportunity to print the map at full size on a large plotter. Final printed size is 9' x 9.75'! Here are a few pics. For scale, there's a 12oz dixie cup and a large podium in the full map shots.
Gonna have to get a new house with a wall big enough for this!
Thanks again for letting me totally geek out.

Kal online not many players play it and new aren't going to play it but still it has
Duel-Ask someone for duel
Assassin-Put assassin mask on and kill everyone everywhere except in safezones.
Triangulare battles-Registering for tournament.
Castle wars- Defend/Attack Castle - Install flag-Win
Protecting leader-Two guilds fight each other; one is left with the task of defending their own guild leader while he prays. There are a total of three rounds. If a leader is killed, or the round ends, the roles are then reversed and the defenders become the attackers.
Suffering Valley-Two guilds must fight monsters to gain points, higher level monsters are worth more points. Killing opposing players also rewards your team more points. The team with the most points after 1 hour is declared the winner.
Destructing Key Points-The goal of this mode is for two teams to destroy towers. After three small towers are taken down, the giant tower can be destroyed. The team who has killed the most opposing players and destroyed the most towers wins.
So yeah so many pvp options,but game in wrong hands.

System Administration Practice
Revision as of 16:55, January 13, 2014 by Duncan.Britton (Talk)
Keep Portage Tree Up-To-Date
Even if you're not doing a full update every day, you should sync the portage tree and overlays regularly. It will reduce the time that you need to sync tree before a system upgrade. Also, if you just want to install something, it will be installed with latest deps so you will not waste time on upgrading it later. Here is an example script to upgrade portage and overlay every day:
# nano /etc/cron.daily/autosync.sh
if [ ! -f $log ]; then
touch $log
chmod 600 $log
chown root:root $log
echo >> $log
echo "*** autosync started! ($(date +'%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S'))" >> $log
echo "*** running emerge --sync" >> $log
emerge -q --sync >> $log 2>&1
if [ -f /usr/bin/layman ]; then
echo >> $log
echo "*** running layman -S" >> $log
/usr/bin/layman -S --nocolor >> $log 2>&1
Purge unused distfiles
Distfiles may take up a lot of space on disk, and if you do not clean them from time to time it may become an issue. There are many ways to clean them.
- Remove distfiles which wasn't accessed in last 90 days. (WARNING: It will not work if distfiles are on filesystem with noatime option. You may want think about relatime).

Rachel Kirk Artwork on Exhibit at Thigpen GalleryThe Volunteer State Community College Thigpen Library Gallery will display the work of Nashville-based artist Rachel Kirk in January and February.
"My drawing process is guided by inconsistency and imperfection, the very things that make me human," said Kirk. "In order to develop a deeper understanding of my surroundings, I strive to mimic those patterns that I find so mystifying. I begin by emulating a specific pattern or concept, employing a system of deliberate mark making that celebrates, and is often guided by, the prospect of chance."
Kirk earned her MFA in drawing and painting in 2004 from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She is an adjunct professor of art at O'More College of Design and The Art Institute of Tennessee - Nashville. Her abstract artwork has shown locally and nationally. She currently lives in East Nashville with her husband.
The exhibit will be on display through February 21. It is free and open to the public from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and closed on Sunday. The Library will be closed on January 20 for the MLK, Jr. holiday. The Thigpen Library is located on the Vol State campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin. For more information call 615-230-3201.

A Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) survey last fall found that communication barriers such as language, trust, culture and literacy exist that prevent health messages from reaching various communities. "It wasn't particularly surprising," said MDH International Health Coordinator Sara Chute of the survey results. "I knew that these were major issues, but I wanted to make sure that I was representing those beliefs correctly."
As a result, Chute co-facilitated the first of two "community communications conversations" April 25 at Rondo Library in St. Paul. The second is scheduled for sometime in May in Minneapolis. Continue Reading →

Ah, the Medicine of Youth (ああ、青春の漢方丸, Aa, seishun no kanpōgan) is episode 186 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
Story setting of this episode is around Lee's surgery. Naruto, Sakura and Ino are sent in Jofuku Forest to deliver a message to Furofuki. On the way there, they were petrified because an old lady from the village's inn said that the place was haunted. Naruto managed to take a sample of Jofuku flower for Lee's recovery. They also fought a deity representing Gaara, but Naruto managed to defeat him. They arrived at Furofuki's house and completed their mission.
- Though the episode takes place before the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, and the apparition of Gaara is wearing the same clothes he wore during that arc. This creates an inconsistency as the apparition is supposed to be brought on by Naruto's team's feelings and at that point in time, they had only seen his original outfit.

Will Strong Encryption Protect Privacy and Make Government Obsolete?
Recorded: Tuesday, April 24, 2001
Many people have wondered how technological progress will affect political, economic, and civil freedoms. With the rise of encryption software, the National Security Agency's Echelon worldwide surveillance system, and the FBI's Carnivore e-mail snooping program, this subject is no longer the exclusive domain of speculative thinkers or futurists, it is the subject of intense public-policy debate. Will privacy-enhancing technology improve faster than privacy-threatening technology? Should the government mandate privacy standards? Should it enforce contracts in cyberspace, or would private law do a better job? Economist, physicist, and legal scholar David Friedman discussed these and related questions about technological change and the case for and against government involvement.

DeeGee wrote:If you understood what I was getting at when I meant two players Solitaire, you'd know that a file that depends on establishing a return lock (Dion) is the very opposite of a Solitaire file. Solitaire means that you play as though you had no opponent. A return-lock file plays a bunch of units with rather mediocre stats in the intent of locking down the opponent. The entire file is created with taking away an opponent's options, rather than winning in an overwhelming display of force.
Solar Kingdom vs. Merc Nation is far more solitaire than the usual Dion control match will be.
Dion makes her opponents watch Diondora play solitaire because opponent can't play anything except watch Diondora abuse her way to victory. That is Solitaire.
Merc Nation vs Solar kingdom, You get to watch units punch each other faces out. That isn't solitaire. That is Action. While you may fail to realize, I am currently playing merc nation because of all falkow wusses out in force lately and solar kingdom is extinct again.
Saw a duel earlier today and watched it. Was damn boring. Owl sage keep an high sp enviroment for diondora abuser.

Pardon us. We – like the rest of Us Weekly–reading humankind – have gotten so wrapped up in baby George's public debut and the Duchess's incredible post-baby body that we've lost track of some of the other things that make London tick. Like these five quick and completely non-Royal facts.
- Covent Garden is a spelling mistake. The area used to be the market garden for a convent.
- The street-style label seen most during London Fashion Week was Zara, hands down.
- Waterloo Bridge was built mostly by women.

Solomon, Susan
Antarctic ozone hole. Source: NASA.
Susan Solomon is an Atmospheric Scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. She completed her doctorate at the University of California in Berkeley, California, in 1981. Her research has focused on the role of atmospheric chemistry in climate dynamics. Specifically, she has conducted numerous investigations of photochemistry and of transport processes in the upper atmosphere (that is, the stratosphere and troposphere). Her most recognized work has involved remote sensing of the atmosphere through innovative use of spectroscopic methods. This work has revolutionized our interpretation—and our theoretical and practical understanding of ozone depletion; in particular in the polar regions. Her antarctic investigations employed ground-based visible absorption techniques that monitored ozone, nitrogen dioxide and chlorine dioxide. Significantly, Dr. Solomon's work has guided and strengthened the work of scientists worldwide in filling gaps in assessing and understanding the complexities of climate change.
Twenty years ago, during the antarctic winters of 1986 and 1987, she led the National Ozone Expedition at the National Science Foundation's McMurdo Station. That work included pioneering observations on how chlorofluorocarbons affect ozone concentrations (that is, decreases in concentration known popularly as the antarctic ozone hole). Two antarctic geologic features—Solomon Glacier (78°23'S, 162°30'E) and Solomon Saddle (78°23'S, 162°39'E)—were named in honor of her Antarctic research in l994. In 2000, Dr. Solomon was awarded the National Medal of Science by President William Clinton for observing and explaining the yearly genesis of the antarctic ozone hole. She was awarded a 2004 Blue Planet Prize for work that identified the mechanism that lead to the antarctic ozone hole and for science-based evaluations underlying protection of the Earth's ozone layer. In 2006, she was named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and she received the V.M. Goldschmidt Medal from the Geochemical Society. Her interests include history and she authored The Coldest March recounting the circumstances surrounding the hardships experienced during Robert Scott's tragic expedition to Antarctica in 1911. In 2008, Dr. Solomon was elected a Foreign Member of The Royal Society of the United Kingdom.
In September 2010, in recognition of her pioneering work that altered the course of atmospheric research, she was awarded the Career Achievement Service to America medal at a White House ceremony.

text: Super Bowl Sunday for iOS 6.1 Jailbreak [Updated] Posted: 01 Feb 2013 05:31 AM | Anonymous February 3, 2013 not only marks the start of Super Bowl Sunday, it could also signify the arrival of a new untethered iOS jailbreak. The newly formed hacking group, going by the name of evad3rs, is reportedly close to completing their latest iOS 6.1 jailbreak. More importantly this jailbreak works on the A5 and A6 chip architectures in the latest flagship iOS devices. Previous reports claiming that the group held back releasing the jailbreak, in the knowledge that Apple were to release the long awaited iOS 6.1 update which surfaced on Monday. The group claims that publishing the exploit earlier would allow Apple to develop a patch to counter-act their efforts. So, immediately after the iOS 6.1 release, some four and a half months after the original iOS 6 release, the group have said they are ready. ...
