William Edward Burghardt (W. E. B.) Du Bois, one of the greatest scholars the world has ever known, and leader of the New Negro movement, was born on February 23, 1868, in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.
His father, Alfred Du Bois, died before Will was old enough to remember him. His mother, Mary Silvina Du Bois, had to struggle to make ends meet for herself and her son.
When she passed away in 1884, young Du Bois went to work in a local mill. He continued to excel at Great Barrington High School, where he was the only black student. He graduated the same year his mother died. A few months later, the principal helped arrange a church scholarship for him to attend Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee.
Du Bois arrived at Fisk in the fall of 1885, and he never forgot his first day there: "It was to me an extraordinary experience," he wrote. "I was thrilled to be for the first time among so many people of my own color or rather of such various and such extraordinary colors...."
During summer vacations, he taught black students in rural Tennessee. After three years at Fisk, he had gained a lot of insight into the depths and complexities of racism.
Du Bois graduated with a bachelor's degree from Fisk in 1888, and entered Harvard University as a junior. There he graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in 1890 and earned a Master of Arts degree in history in 1891.
He studied at the University of Berlin in Germany for two years after graduating from Harvard. Europe was the first place he had ever lived without race prejudice, and this had a profound effect upon him. "I ceased to hate or suspect people simply because they belonged to one race or color," he said.
In the next few years, Du Bois began an academic career that brought him nationwide attention. From 1895 to 1897, he taught English, Latin, Greek, and German at Wilberforce University. There he met and married Nina Gomer in 1896. The couple had two children: Burghardt Gomer, who died while still a baby, and Nina Yolande.
When his son died, Du Bois sat down and wrote what many have called the most searing essay in the history of race relations: "On the Passing of the First Born." It included this passage: "All that day and all that night there sat an awful gladness in my heart ... and my soul whispers ever to me, saying, ... 'not dead, but escaped, not bound, but free.' No bitter meanness now shall sicken his baby heart till it die a living death."
In 1899, Du Bois's book The Philadelphia Negro, a survey he conducted of the social, racial, and economic conditions of black Philadelphians, was published. The book was the first in-depth study of an urban African American community. Today, it is still considered a significant work of its kind.
From 1897 to 1910, Du Bois taught history and economics at the old Atlanta University. During that time, he published fourteen studies on African Americans that were so important he could later say truthfully: "Between 1896 and 1920 there was no study in America which did not depend in some degree upon the investigations made at Atlanta University...."
He had enjoyed friendly relations with Booker T. Washington, the famous founder of Tuskegee University, for several years. In 1903, however, with the publication of The Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois posed a direct challenge to Washington's philosophy. Washington believed in practical, vocational education. In his "Atlanta Compromise" speech on September 18, 1895, at the opening of the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, Washington had urged black Americans to quietly accept segregation and its second-class status.
In a period when the South averaged five lynchings of African Americans a day, when black southerners in rural areas were being reduced to a condition of semi-slavery, and when Black Codes forced thousands of black men, women, and children to work as unpaid labor on chain gangs and plantations, Du Bois declared: "We have no right to sit silently by while the inevitable seeds are sown for a harvest of disaster to our children, black and white."
Instead, he urged black Americans to unite with white Americans who believed in racial equality, and to use "force of every sort: moral persuasion, propaganda and ... even physical resistance."
Rather than concentrate on vocational training, he urged higher academic training for what he called the Talented Tenth (the top 10 percent) of black students, who could then go on to help teach, inspire, and lead the masses. He also practiced what he preached. In 1905, Du Bois was one of the founders of the Niagara Movement, a group of black professionals and intellectuals whose aim was to fight for full equality in every area of American life.
Booker T. Washington used his influence to try and destroy the new organization, but he failed. In 1909, the Niagara Movement merged with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Du Bois served as an officer in the new group.
In 1910, he left Atlanta University to join the NAACP in New York City as its director of publications and founder and editor of its magazine The Crisis. It expressed his hopes for the black race.
In the pages of The Crisis, Du Bois supported American involvement in World War I (1917-1918). But after the war, the widespread lynchings and raw racism inflicted on African Americans led him to declare that all "of us fools fought a long, cruel, bloody, and unnecessary war, and we not only killed our boys-we killed Faith and Hope."
In 1919, he began trying to unite people of color throughout the world by organizing the First Pan-African Congress in Paris. In the years to come, he organized several more congresses: in Paris, Brussels, and London in 1921; in Lisbon and London in 1923; and in New York City in 1927. Although delegates attended from many parts of the world, the idea of Pan-Africanism did not develop a strong following until decades later.
The Great Depression of 1929-1941 led Du Bois to conclude that the NAACP needed to change drastically. In his view, racism existed because it was profitable to white Americans to exploit black Americans. Du Bois said that what was needed to fight racism was black economic power, even if it meant temporarily accepting racial segregation.
NAACP officials, who were committed to working for integration, were horrified at his ideas. In June of 1934, they forced him to submit his resignation. Du Bois was now sixty-six years old, but he was about to embark on some of the most productive years of his life.
He returned to Atlanta University, where he taught for another ten years and produced two of his finest books: Black Reconstruction in America: An Essay Toward a History of the Part Which Black Folk Played in the Attempt to Reconstruct Democracy in America, 1860-1880 (1935), and Dusk of Dawn: An Essay Toward an Autobiography of a Race Concept (1940). In 1944, he returned to the NAACP as director of special research. There he served as an associate counsel to the American delegation at the founding of the United Nations in 1945, speaking out strongly for independence for European colonies in Africa and Asia.
Du Bois also helped revive the Pan-African movement. He attended the Fifth Pan-African Congress in Manchester, England, in 1945, and presided over several sessions. Delegates from sixty countries and colonies elected him permanent chairman and president, and he was widely recognized as "the father" of Pan-Africanism.
In 1961, he and his second wife, Shirley Graham Du Bois, moved to Accra in newly independent Ghana, at the invitation of its first president, Kwame Nkrumah. Du Bois's first wife had died in 1950. He became a citizen of Ghana and settled down to work on a long-dreamed-of project: the Encyclopedia Africana.
On August 27, 1963, Du Bois passed away at the age of ninety-five. The government of Ghana honored him with a state funeral, and he was buried in Accra.
Word of his death came to a small meeting of African Americans in Washington, D.C., on the eve of the March for Jobs and Freedom, where the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. made his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Author John O. Killens said someone told those at the meeting that "the old man" had died, and everyone knew without asking that "the old man" was Du Bois. For generations of African Americans, he was also, as Killens described him, "our patron saint, our teacher and our major prophet."
His tremendous contributions to scholarship and the cause of human freedom were recognized by honorary degrees from Howard, Atlanta, Fisk, and Wilberforce Universities and several foreign universities.
What Are Your Plans for the Future?
One night in 1893, alone in his small room in Berlin, Du Bois realized what he wanted to do with his life. "These are my plans," he wrote, "to make a name in science, to make a name in literature and thus to raise my race."
Du Bois quickly made a name for himself. He received a Ph.D. degree in history from Harvard in 1895. He was the first African American to receive a doctorate from Harvard. His Ph.D. dissertation, The Suppression of the African Slave Trade to the United States of America, 1638-1870, was the first of nineteen books (both nonfiction and fiction) he would write.
The Power of the Pen
For twenty-four years, through the power of his pen, Du Bois turned The Crisis into one of the most powerful publications the United States has ever known.
His NAACP colleagues would later say that the ideas Du Bois expressed in The Crisis "and in his books and essays transformed the Negro world as well as a large portion of the liberal white world.... He created, what never existed before, a Negro intelligentsia...."
Du Bois called all aspiring African Americans "the Talented Tenth." This group included Howard University teacher and writer Alain Locke. He guided many young poets and writers. The lawyer, novelist, composer, diplomat, and journalist James Weldon Johnson was another influential figure. His song, "Lift Every Voice and Sing" became the unofficial "Negro National Anthem."

At age 78, Frank Hennessy, a master piano tuner known throughout the Midwest, will launch a new business during a grand opening Friday and Saturday this week in Millersburg.
Hennessy closed his piano store in Columbia last year, but has decided to open a new piano store in Callaway County at 3077 Lighthouse Lane in Millersburg.
The new shop is located across the street from Hazel Kinder's Lighthouse Theater near the Millersburg exit off I-70.
Even after he closed his store in Columbia, Hennessy continued to tune pianos.
"Although I'm 78, I have no intention of retiring," Hennessy said with a wry grin. "I've accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience over the years and I just can't give it up."
After most people tune a piano to the correct pitch, they're finished. But not Hennessy. He adds several more steps. "I'm concerned about the tone of the piano. It's possible to change the tone. It's called voicing a piano. A lot of steps are involved. It's complicated," Hennessy said.
Hennessy also has gained fame for his ability to restore pianos. An article about his restoration and tuning expertise was distributed in June of 1996 by the Associated Press wire service and published by newspapers around the nation.

College Student Experience Life In Haiti
February 5, 2010
By Sofia Bledsoe, Rocket writer
Story Highlights
- "Moving around so much with my dad being in the military, I really enjoyed having new experiences."
- "You see yourself as a global citizen and that everyone is equal and that they're worth being helped."
- "I had never really thought of Haiti. I was really focused on faraway places like Africa and Asia."
- The girls performed mission work at the Canaan Orphanage in Montrouis, Haiti.
REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. -- Ever since Megan Scott was a little girl, she always had a heart for helping others. The middle child in the Scott family, she never imagined that her heart for adventure would give her an experience she would never forget and take her to Haiti and one of the deadliest earthquakes in history.
Moving from place to place and being somewhat of a nomad was neither new nor frightening for Scott. After all, she is an Army brat and daughter of Maj. Bruce Scott, assistant product manager for the Light Utility Helicopters in the Program Executive Office for Aviation and an Army National Guard liaison officer.
Aca,!A"IAca,!a,,cve always wanted to travel and interact with people outside of the U.S.,Aca,!A? Scott said. Aca,!A"Moving around so much with my dad being in the military, I really enjoyed having new experiences.Aca,!A?
That love for travel led her to pursue national and international missionary work. One of her first mission trips while in high school was to Arlington, Texas. Last summer, Scott applied for a program called Youth Works and worked at the Lakota Indian reservation in South Dakota and was in charge of a childrenAca,!a,,cs ministry. Youth Works organizes and facilitates youth mission trips for the purpose of raising global awareness.
Scott, a junior at Samford University in Birmingham, is majoring in nutrition and dietetics. She is also a pre-med student interested in pursuing her medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine, the University of South Alabama, or the University of Alabama-Birmingham.
During her freshman year at Samford, Scott decided to do international work for the first time and went to Mozambique, Africa. She paid for her entire trip with the help of family and friends who helped raise money for the effort.
Aca,!A"ItAca,!a,,cs good to be able to apply what IAca,!a,,cve learned in school and be able to help out others who are not so fortunate,Aca,!A? Scott said. Aca,!A"You see yourself as a global citizen and that everyone is equal and that theyAca,!a,,cre worth being helped. For my future and my career, I just want to help people as much as I can. Mission work is a great way to do that. ItAca,!a,,cs not like youAca,!a,,cre just going on vacation. YouAca,!a,,cre actually helping out.
Aca,!A"There is a great need for doctors and people with medical skills. ThatAca,!a,,cs why I wanted to go to medical school in order to help a lot of people. It is also a great way to connect with people.Aca,!A?
Haiti was ScottAca,!a,,cs second international mission trip, which she paid for all on her own. Together with two college classmates, Katie Snider and Anna McKoy, the three girls left for Haiti on Dec. 27.
The girls performed mission work at the Canaan Orphanage in Montrouis, Haiti, approximately 45 miles north/northwest of Port-au-Prince. They were due to return to the U.S. on Jan. 22. They soon would realize coming home would happen much sooner than planned.
Whether it was fate, chance or pure luck, one of ScottAca,!a,,cs Christmas presents from her parents was a new iTouch (iPhone). This new device would be the only means of communication for the family after the earthquake.
Aca,!A"I had never really thought of Haiti,Aca,!A? Aca,!A"I was really focused on faraway places like Africa and Asia.Aca,!A?
She quickly realized that Haiti is just as foreign and faraway. After hearing stories from her friend Snider who had visited Haiti just last summer, Scott decided she wanted to go and make it happen. Aca,!A"I knew I could get some experience on malnutrition. I had done a couple of projects in school, plus I would be able to apply what IAca,!a,,cve learned and learn new things in the process.Aca,!A?
The 7.0 quake, the most powerful to hit Haiti in a century, struck Jan. 12. The tremors were felt more than 200 miles away, as far as eastern Cuba.
Scott said she remembers feeling the earthquake and never imagined the severity of the damage it caused. Aca,!A"She had no idea of the scope of the earthquake,Aca,!A? noted her father, Maj. Scott. Aca,!A"She was more amazed than troubled by it.Aca,!A?
When Maj. Scott and his wife Jane first heard the news, they immediately turned on their computer knowing that if their daughter was alive and OK, she would post a message on Facebook. There was no phone reception, and texting did not work. It only took about an hour after the quake when they saw ScottAca,!a,,cs first posting telling them of the quake they just felt. Aca,!A"We all but cried,Aca,!A? Maj. Scott said. Aca,!A"It was the best news we could hope for.Aca,!A?
Scott and her friends learned from her father just how serious the earthquake was and quickly assessed their situation. There were more than 100 people in the orphanage, and they were already starting to ration power, which was fueled by diesel, to two hours a day. This included rationing their usage of the water purification system and food. They quickly realized that their situation was more than status quo.
As any parent would have done, Maj. Scott began to make phone calls and worked with the Puerto Rico Army National Guard while keeping his chain of command informed of the situation. He was instructed that he needed to submit a mission request to start the process of determining resourcing and mission priority in order to extract the girls from Haiti. After the National Guard verified that all the information Scott provided was correct, they assessed the immediacy of extracting the students. Using Google maps and Facebook, Scott was able to show his daughter how and where to set up a landing zone providing her with the latitude and longitude in a flat area where the Black Hawk could land.
Aca,!A"The LZ was marked well enough,Aca,!A? Maj. Scott said. They did a thorough job of providing the details of their location to him which he relayed to the National Guard. The girls were extracted via Black Hawk from Montrouis and flown to Port-au-Prince, one of several missions being flown that day. Aca,!A"Their flight was in conjunction with other missions they were already flying,Aca,!A? Maj. Scott said. They were then flown via Black Hawk to the Dominican Republic where they were processed through the evacuation center and spent the night. Scott and her friends flew via commercial flight the next day and landed in Atlanta on Jan. 17 where they were met by grateful parents.
The experience in Haiti did not dampen any of the girlsAca,!a,,c spirits of continuing to do mission work. Aca,!A"I want to continue these mission trips for the rest of my life,Aca,!A? Scott said. She hopes to someday be able to live internationally.
Aca,!A"I donAca,!a,,ct regret going to Haiti. It was definitely an adventure. Looking back at it, IAca,!a,,cm glad I was there and able to come back to tell my story and tell everyone about the people there. I want to raise awareness of the Canaan Orphanage where I was at,Aca,!A? she said.
Scott said she hopes more young people will take an interest in missionary work and find it fulfilling and rewarding as she has.
Aca,!A"They might have a lot less and have more problems, but theyAca,!a,,cre still the same. They feel the way we feel and have hopes and dreams. It took an earthquake for people to know Haiti,Aca,!A? she said.
Aca,!A"IAca,!a,,cm still a parent,Aca,!A? said Maj. Scott. Aca,!A"We donAca,!a,,ct discourage her, but we make sure she is aware of the risks. But I am very proud of my daughter.Aca,!A?

Ex-Beatle McCartney gets French legion of honor
Sunday, September 9, 2012
PARIS (AP) — France's Elysee Palace says former Beatle Paul McCartney has been decorated with the legion of honor for services to music.
On Saturday the presidential office said that seventy-year-old McCartney — who sang and co-wrote hits like "Hey Jude" and "Yesterday" — was decorated at the rank of officer by French President Francois Hollande at the Elysee Palace, with members of McCartney's family attending.
McCartney joins the ranks of other singers to have received the honor. Barbra Streisand and Liza Minnelli were similarly honored by former President Nicolas Sarkozy.
McCartney — often referred to as "Sir Paul" or "Macca" in his native Britain — has already received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II, who watched him perform at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Professional Interests
My research interests can be summarised as aiming to investigate and explain human behaviour by considering multiple potential influences at different levels of explanation. For example, people's genes, their brain structure, their brain functioning, cognitive, physiological and emotional functioning can all affect people's behaviour both individually and in an interactive way. In addition to this, all individuals exist within a specific environment, as does each level of their functioning (for example a person may behave differently in quiet, relaxed surroundings compared to noisy, chaotic surroundings; and the same cognitive process may have different effects depending on which other cognitive processes are engaged). The environment in the broad sense of the term is therefore also an extremely important factor to consider when aiming to explain human behaviour. Finally, I am extremely interested in ultimately being able to bring about a behavioural change when such a change is desired by the individual in question.
I took up a post as Lecturer at the School of Psychology, Queen's University Belfast in March 2014.
Research Background
PhD and Postdoctoral research
I carried out my PhD research (2005-2008) at the School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, supervised by Prof. Chris Oliver and Prof. Glyn Humphreys. My work focused on understanding temper outbursts in people with a genetic developmental disorder called Prader-Willi syndrome. For more information about this previous research click here. After my PhD I worked for just over two years at the Cerebra Centre for Neurodevelopmental Disorders, where I was involved in work aiming to better understand the difficulties faced by individuals with several different developmental disorders.
Marie Curie Fellowship
In January 2010 I was awarded an International Outgoing Marie Curie Fellowship by the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme. This fellowship supported my research for the three years between March 2011 and March 2014. During the first two years of the fellowship I worked with the Culture and Social Neuroscience Laboratory at the Department of Psychology, Peking University, China, and during the final year I returned to Birmingham. The focus of my work during this fellowship was on understanding how aspects of the environment – including someone's immediate social surroundings and their broader cultural background – can impact on how they respond emotionally and how they control those emotions. This work has provided me with a strong basis for developing research aiming to increase understanding of how disorder may affect emotional processes and impact behaviour.
Current Research
Helping strategies for people with disorders who find changes to routines or plans difficult
This research began with the work of Dr Leah Bull whose PhD I supervised alongside Prof. Chris Oliver. You can read more about Leah's work in the previous research section. In January 2015 we will begin a project called PREDICTORS which stands for Parent Resource for Decreasing the Incidence of Change Triggered Temper Outbursts. The project is funded by the Bailey Thomas Charitable Foundation and Prof Chris Oliver at the Cerebra Centre for Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Prof Jane Barlow at The University of Warwick, and Dr Katerina Dounavi at Queen's will be supporting the work. During the next two years we will develop a set of web-based resources to teach parents and caregivers of children who find changes to routines and plans very difficult to deal with and often show difficult behaviours such as temper outbursts follow these types of changes. Clare McGeady will be coordinating this project for us at Queen's University.
Training attention switching in children with Prader-Willi syndrome
In November 2014 we began work on a project funded by the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research . In the project we aim to develop the first prototype of a computer based training game for helping children with Prader-Willi syndrome to get better at attention switching, which is a brain process we know can be impaired in people with the syndrome. Nigel Robb is coordinating the project for us at Queen's University. We are also being supported in this work by Professor Annalu Waller who is director of the ACC research group at the University of Dundee. My previous research showed that the impairment in attention switching that people with Prader-Willi syndrome can show seems to be linked to the difficulties with changes to routines and plans that people often experience and the temper outbursts that can follow these sorts of changes. So ultimately we hope that our switching training will have a positive effect on behaviour. This project is called TASTER .
Executive functioning and behaviour in disordered populations
With the support of researchers at the Universities of Birmingham, Oxford and Bristol I developed a battery of executive functioning tests that aims to be appropriate for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. With the support of several researchers at the Cerebra Centre – most notably Krupa Seth – I administered this battery to a large sample of typically developing children. The aim of the research is to develop a tool that is capable of measuring certain important executive processes in individuals who may have a developmental disorder. Ultimately I aim to better understand the associations between executive functions and clinically relevant behaviours in disordered populations so that this information may be used to develop effective intervention approaches.
Associations between emotional control and behaviour in disordered populations
Building from the work I completed as part of my Marie Curie fellowship I have designed a way to examine people's capacity for controlling their own negative emotions, which is appropriate for individuals with a developmental disorder. I am currently using this method to assess the relationship between people's capacity for controlling their negative emotion and certain profiles of challenging behaviour that appear to have a strong emotional component – such as temper outbursts.

Hitler had a son with a teenage French girl, new evidence claims to prove.
The shocking revelations that Adolf Hitler had an affair with a french teenager while he was a soldier in World War One, has been published in French magazine Le Point.
Hitler's 'son', Jean-Marie Loret, never met his father, and served as a soldier fighting against the Nazis during the Second World War. However before Loret died in 1985, he told his story to a Parisian lawyer Francois Gibault.
Loret was given up for adoption by his mother after a difficult childhood, his peers knowing that he was the son of a German soldier. Like many children fathered by German soldiers, his mother was destitute, and he was jeered at, known as "the son of the Boche."
Loret's mother met the young Hitler whilst he was serving as a soldier in northern France. On leave in a rural village outside of Lille, he first spotted Charlotte Lobjoie, as she cut hay in a field.
"We saw a German soldier on the other side of the street," she told her son, years later.
"He had a sketch pad and seemed to be drawing. All the women found this interesting, and were curious to know what he was drawing.
"I was the one chosen to approach him."
After that encounter, 16-year-old Lobjoie and Hitler would often go for walks in countryside. However she told her son that "these walks usually ended badly".
"Your father, inspired by nature, launched into speeches, which I did not really understand.
"He did not speak French, but solely ranted in German, talking to an imaginary audience. Even if I spoke German I would not be able to follow him, as the histories of Prussia, Austria and Bavaria where not familiar to me at all, far from it.
"My reaction used to anger your father so much that I did not show any reaction."
After a 'tipsy' night out together in June, the couple slept together. Loret was born in March 1918, by which time Hitler had left the country.
Alone and struggling for money, Lobjoie gave up her son to another couple. However years later, after Loret's mother confessed to him the truth of his parentage, Hitler's son struggled to cope.
"In order not to get depressed, I worked non-stop, never took a holiday, and had no hobbies. For twenty years I didn't even go to the cinema." he told his lawyer.
However Loret began investigating his past. He enlisted an expert in physiognomy (the way faces are aligned) and asked for advice from the Institute of Anthropology and Genetics at the University of Heidelberg. The blood type of the two men are similar, and their faces suggest famial characteristics.
Paintings by Hitler, an accomplished artist, have been found in Lobjoie's attic. A painting of the young Charlotte, signed by Hitler has even been found. Papers from the Germany and French army corroborate Loret's mothers story, showing that the Nazi dictator was serving in France at that time.
It has also been revealed that Lobjoie received packages of money from Hitler, years later.
Loret died in 1985. Four years earlier, he had written the book Your Father's Name Was Hitler. The memoir is to be republished with the new evidence that corroborates his story.

Despite a 1-0 loss to Germany Thursday, Team USA will advance to the Knockout Stage in the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
The United States men's soccer team was in the right place at the right time despite losing to Germany, 1-0, in the final game of group play at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil on Thursday afternoon.
Although the Americans did not draw or beat Germany to advance out of "The Group of Death" at the World Cup, they got outside help -- when Portugal defeated Ghana, 2-1 -- in order to move on to the Knockout Stage.
"All of the teams qualifying for a World Cup are good teams and strong, but most would agree that this was, maybe with another group or two, by far, the strongest group to go through," Team USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "Ghana, with what they bring to the table, and Portugal is tremendous quality.
"I think Germany, for the reason you saw today, is among the four or five favorites to win this title here. For us, it was hard, hard work and tremendous commitment and we're just growing. We're learning with every game. We take so much good stuff and grow into the next game."
By advancing to the Knockout Stage next week, the Americans made history.
It is the first time ever that they have qualified for the Knockout Stage in consecutive World Cup tournaments.
"It's great to advance out of the group, a group that many people thought we wouldn't advance from," U.S. captain Clint Dempsey told ESPN. "We'd have liked to end the last game on a better note. We would've liked to have gotten a better result, but at the end of the day, we're excited to get to the Knockout Stage, and hopefully, we can do better than we did in the last World Cup.
Goalkeeper Tim Howard added, "We've still got a lot left in us. I thought we played well throughout the group. Today was a tough game in tough conditions. Hats off to Germany. I think they have an opportunity to win the World Cup. That's how good I think they are.
"We had a chance there at the end, but we get to the Round of 16. It shows how far we've come, that we're not happy just getting there, that we want to progress."
Now, the Americans have to wait for the Algeria-Russia and Belgium-South Korea games to conclude before finding out who their opponent will be during the Round of 16, but who they play is of little importance to Klinsmann.
"Whoever we face now, we're going to take it to them," Klinsmann said. "For all of the players, it's a tremendous achievement. Now, we really get started. Now, we can put this behind us, the whole group phase.
"Once the group is done, another tournament actually starts because the Knockout Stage is a completely different ballgame. We can't wait for that to get started next week."

Multifaith Prayers for Animals
Animal blessings, prayers for sick or deceased pets, and a covenant liturgy for animal guardians.
Dear God, you have given us care over all living things; protect and bless the animals who give us companionship and delight, make us their true friends and worthy companions. Amen.
Dear God, protect and bless all beings that breathe, keep all evil from them, and let them sleep in peace. Amen.
--Albert Schweitzer, "Memoirs of Childhood and Youth
Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. You inspired St. Francis to call all of them his brothers and sisters. We ask you to bless this pet. By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan. May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.
--Franciscan prayer
[Name of animal], may you be blessed in the name of the Holy One who created you, and may you and [name of human] enjoy life together and care for one another in peace.
Healing and transforming God, your love knows no boundaries, and in your sight every life is precious; look with compassion on [name of animal], and make us your agents of healing in a broken world. Amen.
God of the universe, be present with this your creature. Bless [name of animal] and [name of human companion] who cares for him/her, now and always. Amen.
May God, who heals the sick, defends the vulnerable, cares for the poor, and liberates all creation from suffering and injustice, bring us all to that peaceable kingdom when all creatures shall live in harmony and all suffering shall be transformed into joy. Amen.
A Covenant Liturgy for Human and Animal Companions
Mindful of our kinship with all living creatures, and our responsibility to care for them, let us renew our covenant with the animals in our care.
Leader: Will you name this creature?
Human: (name of animal is given)
Leader: Will you care for [name], and love and protect him/her, in good times and bad, as long as he/she lives?
Human: I will.
(The human companion is invited to touch/pat/stroke the animal as a sign of the covenant reaffirmed between them.)
We give thanks for the creatures who live alongside us as companions and friends; for their loyalty, love, and trust which enrich our lives and give us joy. May we learn the value of kindness, the power of mercy, the strength of gentleness, and a new spirit of humility. Amen.
--From Animal Rites: Liturgies of Animal Care by the Rev. Andrew Linzey
Eternal Spirit, we bring you our grief in the loss of [name of animal] and ask for courage to bear it. We bring you our thanks for [name of animal] who lived among us and gave us freely of his/her love. We commit our friend and companion [name of animal] into your loving hands. Give us eyes to see how your love embraces all creatures and every living thing speaks to us of your love. Amen.

How to fine tune colour in Lightroom: 6 tricks for stronger, bolder images
Go beyond simple saturation tweaks and learn how to selectively enhance, adjust and alter colours in our latest Adobe Lightroom tutorial.
Colour can be a tricky thing to get right in digital imaging. First there's the issue of white balance, then we have to decide the intensity of the colours, before thinking about selective boosting or altering of different areas.
The aim is usually to create strong, impactful colours while keeping oversaturation and gaudiness in check.
Adobe Lightroom gives you a number of options for controlling, boosting and adjusting colours.
We can correct white balance with the Temperature and Tint controls, then go on to alter colours, either by making simple adjustments to Saturation and Vibrance, or by delving deeper into the colour options within the powerful HSL panel.
This houses three tabs – Hue, Saturation and Luminosity – each containing eight colour sliders. They have far-ranging uses.
You could lower the blue slider in Luminance to darken a sky, for example, or knock all but one of the Saturation sliders to -100 for a quick spot-colour effect.
SEE MORE: How to use Lightroom – 8 mistakes everyone always makes (and how to avoid them)
A quick change
Here we've used the Hue sliders to change the colour of the model's top. A quick adjustment to the blue slider in Hue is all that's required.
But bear in mind that it's only effective if, like our image here, the colour of the area you want to change isn't present elsewhere in the image.
For more precise control over specific areas of an image, we can switch to the Adjustment Brush.
With this useful tool, we can paint masks over parts of the image, such as the background, lips or eyes, then use the tool controls to introduce subtle colour shifts. Here's how it's done…
SEE MORE: Master Adobe Lightroom in 12 minutes or less
How to fine tune colour in Lightroom: steps 1-2
01 Fix the white balance
Download our start file and follow along! Go to the Library module, then drag in colour_before.dng and click Import. Head to the Develop module. In the Basic panel, set Temp to 4900 to cool the colours. Next, scroll down to the Tone Curve. Click the Point Curve. Plot an S-shaped curve line with two points, to boost contrast and colour.

02 Change the blue top
Go to the HSL/Colour/B&W panel. Click HSL and select the Hue tab. Click the target at the top left of the panel, then drag over the blue top to change the colour. We've gone for a deeper blue here with Aqua at +16 and Blue at +66. Next, click Saturation and set Aqua to +21.
Expert Tip
Our eyes are drawn to light, so darkening the corners of a frame with a vignette has the effect of drawing the eye inwards. You can add a vignette with the Post-Crop Vignette control found in the Effects panel.
The Amount slider controls the strength of the effect, while options like Midpoint, Roundness and Feather let you customise the shape and reach of the vignette. Lightroom 5 users can also make vignettes with the Radial Filter tool.
Hold Ctrl/Cmd and double-click with the tool to snap a circular vignette to the edges of the frame.

Padres at Mariners
Today: 7:10 p.m. at Safeco Field. RHP Jason Marquis (0-1, 3.00 ERA) vs. Mariners RHP Hector Noesi (2-6, 5.99).
On the air: FSSD; 1090-AM, 860-AM (Spanish)
SEATTLE Before last night's opener of the road interleague portion of the Padres' 2012 schedule, manager Bud Black said the most frustrating part of the season thus far was his team's inability to bring together all facets of the game at the same time.
"Now we're hitting," said Black. "But we're not pitching that well.
"Early in the season, we weren't hitting or playing defense while getting solid pitching. Our defense is getting much better."
For eight innings, the Padres responded with one of their best all-around games of the season.
The offense scored five runs on nine hits off 2009 American League Cy Young Award winner Felix Hernandez — scoring four runs in the sixth thanks to three straight hits with runners in scoring position.
And starting pitcher Clayton Richard allowed one run on eight hits over seven innings.
But after Luke Gregerson followed Richard with two strikeouts in a perfect 1 1/3 innings, the Padres bullpen gave up three runs before Huston Street finally got the last out to preserve a 5-4 victory as the Padres defeated the Mariners before 13,034 at Safeco Field.
Everth Cabrera, who returned to the Padres Monday night after having his domestic violence case was dismissed in Arizona, led the Padres' 10-hit attack and ran the visitors to a 1-0 lead in the top of the third.
Cabrera — who was 2-for-3 with a triple, three steals, a walk, an RBI and a run scored — drew a walk leading off the third. He then stole second and scored on Chase Headley's bloop single down the line in left.
The Padres blew an excellent opportunity to widen their lead when Chris Denorfia led off the fourth with a triple. But Denorfia never budged as Cameron Maybin grounded out to short, Nick Hundley struck out on a high fastball and Cabrera popped out.
The Mariners wasted no time in tying the game in the bottom of the fourth on back-to-back singles by Ichiro Suzuki and Dustin Ackley to open the inning and a run-scoring ground out by Kyle Seager.
But Maybin and Hundley each came through the next time they had a chance with runners in scoring position as the Padres scored four times in the sixth to take a 5-1 lead.
Carlos Quentin opened the inning by drawing a walk from Hernandez and Yonder Alonso followed with a single, although Quentin was forced at third on Denorfia's one-hopper to Seager at the bag.
"The lower part of the order came through," said Black. "It was good to see that happen and it was critical to the game."
The next hitters in line were Maybin and Hundley, who were, respectively, hitting .196 and .125 with runners in scoring position.
Maybin broke the tie with a single to center, scoring Alonso as center fielder Michael Saunders' throw to the plate was far up the first base line. Hundley followed with a ground single to right to score Denorfia and make it 3-1.
Maybin hustled to third on Hundley's hit and scored on a wild pitch. Cabrera drove home Hundley with a triple to right center.
The four-run inning gave Richard some breathing room, which made it easier for the left-hander to work out of a jam in the bottom of the sixth.
"I thought Clayton was in control of that game," Black said. "He had a real good first, second and third innings. He threw especially well."
The Mariners loaded the bases with two out before Richard retired Saunders on a deep drive to center. Richard walked only one and struck out three while picking up his first win in seven road starts this season.

Amano Shrimp?
I currently have a fully cycled 10 gallon aquarium. The pH is 7.4 and the temperature is 71 F.
It currently houses 6 White Cloud Mountain Minnows, but I wanted to add a little action at the bottom:-D I recently came across Amano Shrimp, and after a little research, fell in love! Before I go out and buy some, I wanted a few tips....
Can I keep Amanos with White Clouds?
How many can I put in a 10g? (I was thinking 3)
Do they need any special care?
What is their average lifespan?
Could I give them fresh veggies?
Thank you!!!!!!:-D
Do you have hiding places for them (dense plants, small crevasses in the rocks, ect) to get away from the white clouds if need be?
Thanks for the reply!!!
Yes, the tank has lots of artificial plants along with a cave, a nice rock that has a big hole in the center, and some rocks stacked up with some hidey holes in between:-D The gravel is Petco Black Lagoon Gravel:-D
Also, I wanted to add some to my 20 gallon too. Would they get along with harlequins, black skirt tetras, and a Molly? Thanks!
As long as they have adequate hiding places they should do just fine, but expect some to be eaten.

Category : Motherboards
Manufacturer : Asus
Posted by: Ian Jackson on 2010-04-21
Manufacturer: http://www.asus.com Price: £329 inc VATBest Price: http://pricebomb.co.uk
The Rampage series has included Asus' flagship Intel motherboards for the past three generations, pushing the boundaries of what is possible when it comes to overclocking and innovation. Today we have the latest iteration in the ITShootout labs; the Rampage III Extreme.
The first thing to strike you about the Rampage III, monolithic box aside, is the board's aesthetics. In our opinion this is the most gorgeous looking motherboard yet released with stylistically shaped heat sinks, a lovely red and black colour scheme and a larger-than-ATX layout. This oversized footprint will cause some users problems during installation. We were unable to fit the board in the Silverstone Fortress FT01 case though in all likelihood the kind of user to buy a Rampage will probably have a top notch full-tower chassis as well.
As well as the board Asus provides a generous bundle. You get two flavours of SLI bridge, a Crossfire connector, 8 SATA cables, a USB/eSATA bracket, cable ties, an optional bolt-on Northbridge cooler, a temperature probe, a driver disk and a detailed manual - phew! Asus also includes its usual handy Q-connectors for easy case switch and LED installation and a "ROG Connect" cable, as well as a Bluetooth RG connecto module that doubles as a conventional Bluetooth dongle.
In terms of layout the Rampage III Extreme does little wrong. The single-sided memory slots mean that Asus can increase the spacing between the two primary video cards without impeding memory upgrades and there is enough space around the socket to accommodate the largest of CPU heat sinks - our colossal Danamics LMX included. No fewer than four PCI Express slots are included for quad SLI or Crossfire X support and you also get a single legacy PCI as well as a 4x slot for other goodies. Some people may bemoan the lack of any 1x slots but remember these can easily be fitted into 16x or 4x slots without any problem.
The board's eight SATA ports are all placed at the bottom-right hand side of the board and are installed at right angles to the plane of the PCB. This prevents interference with video card placement but also means you'll have to allow even more space to install this board in your case. Two of these SATA connectors are of the latest 6Gbps variety and are driven by a Marvell controller.
Eagle eyed readers will notice that the Asus ships with not one but two eight-pin 12V Aux connectors. If you have a suitable power supply this allows you to improve the voltage being supplied to the CPU.opo If that still isn't enough power for your overclocking exploits you can add even more via two further 4 pin Molex connectors; one above the primary PCIe slot and one right at the bottom of the board. Whilst these are appreciated their placement doesn't exactly lend itself to tidy cable routing.
To the right of the memory modules are some interesting gizmos. There are four switches which are used to disable the expansion cards in each the four 16x PCIe slots. We can't see this being useful on a day to day basis, but for the benchmark addict it certainly beats having to physically remove the cards. To the right of these are reading points for various system voltages using your voltmeter. This will allow you to measure droops and rises without the need to load up a monitoring application. Next to this is the ubiquitous power and reset buttons which are joined by a "Q reset" button on the opposite side of the board. This allows you to clear the CMOS then power up in a flash. Lastly in this area of the board you will find an 'LN2 mode' jumper which is specifically designed to avoid cold-boot bugs when playing with liquid nitrogen. In case you were wondering there are no fewer than eight PWM-controlled fan headers on the Rampage III Extreme.
The Rampage III ships with dual BIOS chips. These allow you to keep one BIOS chip for normal or low-noise use whilst the second can be kept for performance-critical applications. Switching from one to the other is done by pressing a small red button on the bottom-right hand corner, or via the ROG Connect feature (more on this later). Those planning to water cool the Rampage will be pleased to hear that the heat sink assemblies can be easily unscrewed - no more of those pesky plastic push pins to worry about.
Moving to the rear I/O panel we find a single PS2 keyboard port, 9 USB ports, Firewire, Gigabit LAN and an ESATA port. Two of the USBs are of the 3.0 variety and are delivered via an NEC chipset. Home Theatre fans also get an optical SPDIF output and six analogue audio jacks. There are also three buttons on the I/O panel. The first clears the CMOS, the second activates ROG connect mode and the final one activates ROG Connect Bluetooth. We were a little surprised that the Rampage III omits the X-Fi audio found on other boards in the Republic of Gamers series, but frankly this is no major loss. Most of us would rather not have Creative-branded applications on our PCs after all, and previous experience tells us that the benefits of the licenced X-Fi software is limited at best.

2008-2009 New Orleans Hornets Season Preview
2008 New Orleans Hornets preview from the Maddux Sports experts. If you are a sports bettor you will love Maddux's NBA lines page where you can compare daily odds
The New Orleans Hornets (56- 26) were the surprise team of the season. Last year, the Hornets seemed destine to leave the City of New Orleans. Their attendance was dismal at the start of the 2007- 2008 season. The team signed an agreement with the city that if specific attendance projections weren't hit, the Hornets would no longer call The Big Easy home. As the team continued to win and ticket sales swelled, the franchise became the darling of the town. One major reason for the team's success was guard Chris Paul. The aggressive, athletic and talented third-year player had a breakout season and his teammates followed suite.
The team lived on three-pointers and ball control. They didn't throw the ball up all the time but when they did shoot from downtown they hit 37% of the time. But the lack of turnovers, fine ball movement and smart passing was what made this team a standout. They had the second-best turnover rate on offense, giving the ball up just 12.8% of the time. The club ended up fifth in offensive efficiency. The Hornets were seventh in defensive efficiency. They excelled in two areas—rebounding and giving the fewest fouls in the league. The club's dream season came to an end when they lost to San Antonio in round two of the playoffs.
The Hornets sold their 27th draft pick to the Portland Trail Blazers and with the cash acquired free agent swingman James Posey. Posey is a veteran defensive specialist who has two championship rings—one with the Heat and the other with the Celtics. No rookies are on the team's roster.
Forward David West commands the frontcourt, having grabbed 8.9 RPG and scored 20.6 PPG. He hit 48% of his shots and 85% of his free throws. Forward Peja Stojakovic, a ten-year vet, scored 16.4 PPG in 2007- 2008. Seven-foot-one Tyson Chandler is the team's center. His numbers include a double-double averages of 11.7 RPG and 11.8 PPG. It's hoped that Armstrong, who is now entering his third season, can offer the defense exactly what they need.
In the backcourt, guard Chris Paul is a dominant force. He scored 21.1 PPG and dished off 11.6 APG. The Hornets extended his contract for three years, ensuring that they will have a powerful player who can get them to the Promised Land. The problem with rostering a player like Paul is that he demands solid support and if he doesn't get it, then he'll try to do it all himself. After awhile that type of commitment simply wears a player down. It's hoped that veteran shooting guard Morris Peterson will score more than 8.0 PPG this season. That will help relieve the pressure
If this team stays healthy, first or second in the Southwest Division is a good possibility. The addition of Posey gives coach Byron Scott a key weapon, especially in close games. But with Houston's addition of Artest, the Hornets are still at a disadvantage and look to come in just below the Rockets in the division and in fourth-place in the Western Conference.
If you liked the 08 New Orleans Hornets team preview read up on the rest of their Southwest Division basketball rivals like the Mavericks, Spurs, Grizzlies, and Rockets.

The Jamaica Observer reports Bolt said his fellow racers flinched in both the finals and the semifinals:
Bolt said in the finals he saw Nesta Carter beside him flinch, "I lost focus and when the gun went I was not focussed," and in the semi-finals "the guy next to me moved and it threw me off; I see these guys in my peripheral vision and it is kinda hard to ignore them so when they move its gonna throw me off a little bit and I got left and when I get left it is hard."
No false start was called, but track and field officials may be hesitant to call a false start because of the IAAF's one-and-done rule. The current rule disqualifies a runner after just one false start. Bolt was disqualified in the semifinals of the 2011 world championships. Though he's the world's fastest man, he's not the world champion.
[ Photos: Usain Bolt loses in 100-meter dash at Jamaican trials ]
I'm not alleging any wrongdoing on behalf of Jamaican track officials. It's more they are giving athletes the benefit of the doubt. In the face of a rule so harsh, who can blame them?

Baritone Gunn to be Notre Dame artist-in-residence
Opera singer Gunn to return to native South Bend to be artist-in-residence at Notre Dame
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Internationally known baritone Nathan Gunn is returning to his native South Bend to be an artist-in-residence at the University of Notre Dame.
The university says Gunn, who has performed at major opera houses across the United States and Europe, will spend one week each semester for the next four years teaching Notre Dame vocal students, visiting classes, and coaching students as they prepare for performances.
Gunn won the inaugural Beverly Sills Artist Award for young singers in 2006.
To mark the first week of his residency, Gunn will perform a concert for the public on Sept. 10 at the university's DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.

From Patronage to Proficiency in the Public Service
An Inquiry Into Professional Qualification and Methods of Recruitment in the Civil Service and the Municipal Service
by William A. Robson
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
From Patronage to Proficiency in the Public Service Part I. The National CIVIL Service. The old saying that the success or failure of all institutions depends on the men who work them is a political platitude of the first water; but it is acquiring a new aspect of truth with the gradual evolution of modern political science from the old art of government. For with this development success or failure comes to depend not only, as hitherto, on the spirit and character of the men who work the institutions, but also, to an ever-increasing extent, on their expert knowledge and professional qualifications. The progress of this transition is necessarily a slow one, and in our own day we shall see no more than its mere beginning; but still we can note that the most significant characteristic of the progressive development of State activity, public ownership and administrative regulation which has been one of the outstanding political features of the past century-, is the alteration in the methods by which the greatly extended functions of government are carried out. In the old days, the whole sphere of government was in the hand of the amateur. Legislation was mainly the privileged affair of the leading members of a few wealthy landowning families, and administration entrusted to the tender mercies of their usually incompetent and corrupt satellites younger sons, needy relatives and the lower strata of a noblemans entourage. Those days are gone, so far as administration is concerned. Gone, too, are the days when the central government relied for its local execution on the benevolent despotism of the propertied Justice of the Peace. Legislation, it is true, and the ultimate executive power, are still in the hands of the amateur; for from our supreme law-makers we have still not learnt to ask for more than tact, a pleasing personality, the ability to compromise, 5

simple question about medications..
I got some maracyn for my bala shark's fin rot, do i need to remove my filter that has the carbon in it before i put medications in the tank or no?
Most definitely. Carbon will remove the meds. I see you are using maracyn, I do not like using these types of medications unless it is as a last resort. Try using PimaFix and MelaFix. These are natural herbal medications and are much less stressful on you tank's ecosystem and biosystem.
roger that. I only started using the maracyn because the chick at the fish store (besides being really cute :P ) said she uses it and would recommend it, yadda yadda i know all about the junk they spew when they want to sell something...
but should i stop the maracyn and get one of those or should i keep it up for the 5 days and then try one of the others if its not successful?
IMHO and if it were my fish I would cease the maracyn and begin dosing with MelaFix.
Triple ditto Hf's comments.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Cake is the always delicious way out of any dilemma.
A dilemma is defined as a situation in which you have two choices and you find yourself too much of a pussy to take either of them without suffering mental trauma. Philosophers have long ago realized, however, that a third option is always available[1], vis:
Dilemma: To be or not to be?
1. Be.
2. Not be.
3. Cake.
This has been verified by many authorities as being conclusive evidence that Hamlet was an idiot.
The dilemma of action or inaction
In the run up to World War II, Winston Churchill was faced with a dilemma:
1. Appease Hitler and POSSIBLY avoid a disastrous war
2. Fight Hitler and certainly have a disastrous war, and on top of that maybe not win.
Churchill forgot number three...
3. Cake.
The dilemma of being a romantic or a playboy
1. Go for a single girl and risk having your heart broken
2. Go for many girls and get lots of sex but no emotional fulfillment
3. Cake.
The dilemma of eating healthy vegetables or delicious cake
1. Eat vegetables and become healthier
2. Eat cake and get fat, but enjoy eating
3. Cake.
Special qualities of cake
Cake is a binary quality, that is, something is either cake or it is not cake.
Here is a table to help you decifer binary code in terms of cake:
1 = Cake.
0 = No cake.
2 = No No cake.
When viewed in this way, all but the simplest computer programs become obsolete.
Most other things are not binary qualities, especially not love. This makes cake infinitely preferable to almost anything in the world.
Dilemma: Wit or Random Humour?
1. Write a Random Humour style article. You need use no brain cells, and at least you find it funny. You won't get banned.
2. Write a witty article. You get to use brain cells, but still, no-one else will find it funny, and you'll probably get banned.
3. Look at porn.
4. This has nothing to do with cake.
"The cake is a lie" is a lie. This is the truth. Don't listen to GLaDOS. She isn't real. I'm lying, she's real. That was a lie. If you're scared, use this dilemma. Take the third option. Always take the third option. Unless it's a lie.
The dilemma of fearing that cake is/isn't a lie and GLaDOS is/isn't real
1. Remember that robots don't exist, and decide that the cake is lie-free. Don't follow Option 2, it's a dirty lie.
2. Remember that robots exist, and decide that they want to eat you. With their cake. Don't follow Option 1, it's a disgusting lie.
3. Cake. Saying that the cake is a lie is a lie in itself, but this is also a lie, because this is Uncyclopedia. All of the above are lies as well[2]. Still, the sentiment (cake) stands.
- ↑ This is the first and only example of a time in which philosophers have been useful as far as real people are concerned. The reason for this is that you are reading Uncyclopedia, and therefore everything on this page is a blatant lie.
- ↑ Cake physically cannot lie, so they are possibly the only party mentioned within this article that isn't lying. That was a lie. So was that.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Rinse the chickpeas and drain completely. Lay them on a dish towel and gently rub them to remove any remaining skins, making sure that they are totally dry. In a large bowl, stir together the olive oil, curry powder, thyme, and ginger. Add the chickpeas to the bowl and toss to coat. Spread the chickpeas on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
Bake the chickpeas, tossing them occasionally, until they are light brown and crisped, 40 to 45 minutes. As soon as you remove them from the oven, sprinkle with a teaspoon of salt. Taste and add more salt if you like. Let them cool completely (this will make them crunchier), then serve. These are best eaten the day they are made.
