The year 2011 saw serious violations of freedom of association both in the public and private sectors, with opposition to the right to unionise and collective bargaining, and government intervention to end strikes.
The Bahamas saw a slight upturn in the economy in 2010 with growth of 0.9%, following a fall of 5.4% in 2009. The economy benefited from an upturn in tourism thanks to the recovery in the United States, its main market. This trend continued in 2011, according to the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). Although there are no official unemployment figures, the ECLAC indicates that employment is expected to pick up, especially in the tourism sector.
Trade union rights in law
While basic trade union rights are guaranteed, they are subject to many excessive restrictions. Private sector and most public sector workers have the right to form and join trade unions. However, the authorities have real discretionary powers to refuse to register a union, and to deny the required licence unions need to affiliate with any body outside Bahamas. The authorities also interfere with internal trade union matters, as the Registrar must supervise the secret ballot to amend a union constitution. The law stipulates that union representatives should be elected at intervals not exceeding three years.
Furthermore, the right to collective bargaining is recognised, but a union must represent 50% plus one of the employees to be recognised as a bargaining agent. Also, if the employer and the union fail to reach an agreement after 12 months, the employer can apply to have the union's recognition revoked.
In order to call a strike, the Ministry of Labour must approve the strike ballot, and can refer a dispute to the Tribunal if the parties fail to reach a settlement, during which time strike action is prohibited. The authorities also have the right to intervene in strikes to ensure the delivery of basic services and to uphold the "national interest". The law restricts the permissible targets for strikes and appears to prohibit protest and sympathy strikes, and workers who participate in unlawful strikes face excessive sanctions including imprisonment for up to two years.
Link to additional detailed information regarding the legislation on the ITUC website here
In practice
Dismissal, harassment and threats are common anti-union practices: Harassment and threats are practices widely used to quash trade union activity.
Collective bargaining deliberately delayed: In some workplaces, employers deliberately delay collective bargaining with the union for around a year before making use of the legislation available to request that the union's recognition be revoked.
Government intervention in strikes: The right to strike is not exercised freely as the government intervenes in some instances, using the power conferred on it by law to stop strike action.
Refusal to negotiate and fulfil collective agreement at Sandals Royal Bahamian hotel: In February 2011, the Industrial Tribunal overturned a Court of Appeal decision denying the Bahamas Hotel Maintenance and Allied Workers' Union (BHMAWU) the possibility of representing workers in collective bargaining negotiations at the Sandals Royal Bahamian hotel. At the end of the year, the company was still refusing to accept the ruling and to initiate negotiations regarding the 12 trade union leaders dismissed in 2008, as well as to honour the labour agreement signed in 2009.
Protest over annihilation of union at BTC: In March and April 2011, various trade unions and the Commonwealth of the Bahamas Trade Union Congress demonstrated in protest at the sale of 51% of the state-owned company Bahamas Telecom (BTC) to the private UK firm Cable & Wireless; the sales agreement involved a 30% cut in jobs. According to the union at the company, this move will lead to the organisation's almost complete annihilation.

WHEELING-Ending her five-year hiatus from coaching girls' basketball, Dee Davis is back on the bench at Wheeling Park High School and she probably couldn't have picked a better time to return.
Davis, still regarded as one of the Ohio County Consolidated school's all-time greatest female athletes, was handed the reins of an ultra-talented Patriots squad that returns four starters, two of whom are already three-year letter-winners.
When Meredith Dailer resigned the head coaching position after giving birth to her first child last spring, Davis was tabbed as her replacement. During her previous tenure coaching the Wheeling Park girls, Davis' accomplishments included guiding the Patriots to back-to-back West Virginia Class AAA state championships (1998 and 1999).
''This feels great. I am very excited to be back coaching basketball," said Davis, who also will continue her duties as the Patriots' softball coach. ''After five years away from this, I feel rejuvenated. I love going to practice and can't wait until our first scrimmage to see how well what we have been practicing on still works."
''These are very smart kids, and I believe they are picking up my system quickly. Our practices have been really competitive. The girls have been willing to do things over and over again until they got it right. This group is similar to our two past state championship teams except maybe we are a little quicker team-wise this year."
Some other good news surrounding program became official recently when returning two-time all-state standout Emily Puskarich announced she had committed to Robert Morris in Pittsburgh.
The 5-foot-8 Puskarich, already a three-time All-Valley and All-OVAC honoree, averaged 18.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.7 steals per game from her off-guard position last winter. Her work ethic and solid all-around play helped lead the 2011-12 Patriots to a 22-5 record, OVAC and Region One championships a final four berth in the Class 3A state tournament.
Puskarich's running mate at guard, Haley Robb (5-8), also had a huge junior year displaying her hustle and deadly shooting range from the perimeter and beyond. Robb earned All-Valley first-team laurels after averaging 13.6 points and 4.9 rebounds. She drained 56 3-pointers last season during her third campaign in the starting lineup.
Other returning starters are highly regarded junior point guard Marissa Tucker (5-5) and junior forward Kelsi Johnson (5-8).
For the past two years Tucker was been the igniter for the Patriots on the both ends of the floor. She is another scoring threat from behind the arc who won't hesitate to put up a shot if left unguarded. Johnson had a promising sophomore season in her first opportunity as a starter and will be counted on heavily for her rebounding and improved inside scoring potential.
Among the other returning players from last season are senior Kristen Slater (5-5), juniors Kambrea O'Neil (5-8), Danielle Kutrovac (5-8), Caitlyn Taylor (5-11) and Audrey Loew (6-0). Sophomores also in the picture are Kendra Johnson (5-10),
Chloe Robb (5-5), Faith Peluchette (5-5), Skylar Carrington (5-6), Morgan Karnell (5-7), Sidney Stewart (5-7), Hannah Muth (5-8) and Katie Franke (5-5).
A couple of freshmen candidates that have been making their presence known are Tamara Bumgardner (5-9) and Shelby Peluchette (5-5).
Not very big inside, Park will be a 90-foot team with expectations of being able to push the ball up floor and apply much defensive heat, exactly the style of play Davis prefers.
''We want to be able to take advantage of our speed. We can move it (the ball) pretty well. Because we aren't very big inside, rebounding is our main concern. I think we can be a good defensive team once we break them of the habit of reaching so much," Davis explained.
On the Patriots' graduation list were starting forward Krista Crawshaw, who is on the roster at Wheeling Jesuit, and Alex Franke.
The early schedule is another concern as Park will play six of the first seven games on the road against the likes of George Washington, Morgantown, Shadyside and University. The season opener is at regional rival Brooke on Dec. 4, while the only home game in the early going is against Parkersburg South on Dec. 7.
Joining the Patriots' coaching staff this year are a couple of very familiar Ohio Valley basketball names, former Magnolia High School and West Liberty University standout Ashlea (Bland) Minch and Rick Jones, who had some successful season coaching girls' basketball at Union Local. Elaine Hatcher and Marci Imhoff round out the list of Davis's assistants.

BENWOOD - Bishop Donahue softball Coach Curt Mele will be the first to tell you that it is still early in the season with the calendar not even hitting the month of April.
However, he is also willing to admit that Wednesday's season-opening victory against fellow West Virginia Class A, and perennial power, Wheeling Central was a real nice way to open the 2013 campaign.
Senior standout Andrea Guzek limited the defending regional champion Maroon Knights to one hit and collected a double, triple and three RBI herself, as the Bishops capped a stellar game with four runs in the bottom of the sixth to gain a rare walk-off, 9-1, triumph against Wheeling Central at blustery Benwood City Park.
The one-hit setback came on the heels of a season-opening victory by Coach Rick Magruder's Knights on Tuesday in which Sarah Henry tossed a no-hitter against Weirton Madonna. Allie Cook's lead-off triple in the top of the sixth provided Central's only hit of the contest and eventually also cost Guzek a shutout on Sydney Bennington's one-out, run-scoring fielder's choice.
''This is a nice win to open the season,'' Mele said. ''And it makes it even nicer after we lost a scrimmage game to Martins Ferry last week that was not very pretty at all for us. But the girls really responded (Wednesday) and I could not be more proud of them.''
Both teams wasted opportunities in the opening frame, stranding a pair of runners each on walks. Donahue, however, finally got on the board in the third. Sommer South, who had two hits and reached base four times, got the second hit of the day, a one-out single to left field.
With two down, Guzek ripped a pitch deep over the right fielder's head for an RBI triple and a 1-0 Bishops lead. Ali Bauer's two-out run-scoring single in the fourth pushed the count to 2-0 before the hosts opened it up in the fifth.
South led off the fifth with a double and went to third on a Katie Scott single to left, with Scott scooting into second. Guzek's second RBI, on a sacrifice fly, made it 3-0 before Selena Ghaphery was hit by a pitch. Abbey Mele brought home another run with a single before Kat Polinski's fielder's choice made it a 5-0 margin.
After Central made it 5-1 in the top of the sixth, the Bishops again went to work with two down and this time and put an end to the game.
South got things started with a walk, went to third on Scott's single and scored on the only error of the game before Guzek plated another tally with a double to right-center field. Ghaphery's single made it 8-1 before Abbey Mele's base hit invoked the eight-run rule to finish things off.
''While this was nice, there is still an awful lot of softball to play and hopefully just one of many wins for us this season,'' Curt Mele added. ''Andrea pitched a phenomenal game and when she is on good things are normally going to happen for us.
''She is a four-year starter and we are going to rely on her very heavily all season long. She gave up the one hit, but it was a bomb by Allie Cook who is a very good hitter.''
Guzek finished with three strikeouts and four walks while Madison Basinger took the loss, fanning a pair and issuing three free passes.
''Guzek pitched a very good game and did a great job of hitting her spots,'' Magruder admitted. ''And Donahue hit the ball pretty decent and had a couple of real nice shots. They were just the better team today.''

The American Civil Liberties Union is demanding two local sheriff's offices release information about the types of military technology and tactics they are using to observe and investigate the public.
The ACLU is focusing on 250 metro areas across the country, four here in Florida.
They include Miami, Jacksonville, Bay County and Holmes County.
ACLU officials said the goal of the public records request is to the extent local police departments are using military technology, like aerial drones and shock handcuffs.
They claim use of that type of equipment encroaches on American's civil liberties.
"We all have a right to live without fear of a military style interrogation in our daily lives and the increasing militarization of police is a threat to that right," said Baylor Johnson, a spokesperson for ACLU.
Bay County Sheriff's officials confirm they have received the ACLU public records request, and are processing it, but they did say they are not using surveillance drones.

Item # SRM0304
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Rear Derailleurs in stock than that.View Similar Products
SRAM Red Aero Glide Rear Derailleur $0.00
When SRAM first introduced its groundbreaking 10-speed Red component group, the heart of the industry-shaking design was 1:1 Exact Actuation technology. In ordinary terms, this means that with each shift the derailleur pulls the same exact length of cable, regardless of what gear you're in. 1:1 is simple to set up, it stays in adjustment longer, and it provides laser-accurate shifting. This advancement sent competitors scrambling to one-up SRAM -- cranking it to 11 or going electric. SRAM's engineers didn't buy the hype, and instead of 'me too-ing,' they've put massive efforts into improving their 10-speed drivetrain. The result is that the Red Aero Glide Rear Derailleur benefits more directly from the lessons learned over the life of first generation 1:1 than if SRAM were to start from scratch.
The Red Aero Glide Rear Derailleur now has a clean, air-cheating, low-profile mounting bolt that's made of titanium to keep weight as low as possible. The long upper knuckle clears 28-tooth cogs, and it is made of extremely stiff forged aluminum to resist flex, which helps to maintain perfect gear alignment. The inner carbon fiber pulley plate has also been enhanced to resist flex, increasing rigidity for precise gear changes, and its low weight results in a light action.
SRAM continues to run their Black Box ceramic cartridge bearings in the pulleys. Ceramic bearings offer outrageous hardness and roundness in comparison to steel, which reduces mechanical drag by a substantial amount. After aerodynamic drag, mechanical drag is the leading source of power loss.
The pulleys themselves were a focus area for SRAM engineers, and they improved weight, durability, and operation. Coined AeroGlide, SRAM optimized the jockey wheel's profile so that the chain will glide more efficiently over the tooth profile as it threads through the cage. This helped silence a notably noisy drivetrain and enhanced chain movement across the cassette. Most would call it a day with those advancements and skip out early for a ride, but SRAM's R&D team developed an elastomer coating to further quell pulley noise.
The SRAM Red Aero Glide Rear Derailleur also receives a barrel adjuster for simple fine tuning, and because it continues to use Exact Actuation technology, it's compatible with all SRAM shift levers: Red, Force, Rival, and Apex.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Best rear derailleur - period. I just changed the pulleys, and you can use this with 11-speed SRAM 22! Excellent! :)
Pretty Darn awesome
First off setting this derailleur up was a snap.
1. Set the high and low stops
2. Pull cable pretty tight and cinch the bolt
3. Dial out the barrel adjuster until shifts are snappy.
4. Go on a ride confident your shifting will be awesome.
For some reason the SRAM Red was a lot less finicky to setup than my other non-Red derailleurs. Maybe its the engineering but it might be worth spending the extra $ if you maintain your own bikes, cause working on the good stuff is easy.
Other than that this thing is light, sculpted, elegant, and my drivetrain is quieter now (must be the jockey wheels)
Minus one star for the silly price tags on this stuff, if it breaks I will have to sell my son's braces.
Is this the medium cage or short cage? ...

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried took part
in a portion of Friday's practice, though the second-year pro remains a likely
game-time decision for the team's Western Conference quarterfinal opener on
The Nuggets termed Faried, who sat out the club's last two regular-season
outings with a sprained left ankle he sustained last Sunday against Portland,
as a limited participant in Friday's session. His status will be re-evaluated
prior to Saturday's Game 1 matchup against Golden State from the Pepsi Center.
"I feel physically better," Faried told the Nuggets' official site on
Thursday. "I can walk without a boot. I can walk barefoot now. It's just
getting better and better each day. Like I've said, if I can walk, I can play,
so I'm just going to see how good the tape job is when game time comes."
Faried started all 80 of his appearances during the regular season and led
Denver with an average of 9.2 rebounds per game. The 23-year-old also averaged
11.5 points while shooting 55.2 percent from the field.

BTS reports surface trade with NAFTA partners is up 15.7 percent in May
August 02, 2011
The United States Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported today that trade using surface transportation between the United States and its North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners Canada and Mexico was up 15.7 percent in May 2011 compared to May 2010, hitting $77.3 billion.
This output represents a 4.8 percent gain from the $73.8 billion in April.
The BTS said that the value of U.S. surface transportation trade with Canada and Mexico in May was up 17.2 percent compared to May 2006 and up 55.9 percent compared to May 2001, with imports up 46.4 percent and exports up 68.5 percent.
Surface transportation, according to the BTS, is comprised mainly of freight movements by truck, trail, and pipeline, mail and Foreign Trade Zones, and nearly 90 percent of U.S. trade by value with Canada and Mexico moves by land. According to the BTS 84.8 percent of U.S. trade by value with Canada and Mexico moved on land in May, with 11.1 percent moving by vessel, and 4.1 percent by air.
The BTS said the value of U.S. surface transportation trade with Canada was up 15.1 percent year-over-year in May at $46.3 billion. Michigan paced all states in surface trade with Canada in May at $6.3 billion for a 15.6 percent annual gain.
The value of U.S. surface transportation trade with Mexico was up 16.6 percent year over year in May at $31.0 billion. Texas led all states in surface trade with Mexico in May at $11.2 billion, up 18.8 percent annually.

Fantasy demon lords don't poop...they just rip heads off. The best resource that I came across for realistic floor plans was at the bookstore...so I bought a whole bunch of castle and medieval books. Never found one for dungeons.
I'm a big fan of Turgenev's old school D&D style maps.
I'm inspired to make some of my own, but as I look through some of my creations from Middle School, they strike me as preposterous. There are, for example, no bathroom facilities. Where did all those demon lords and goblins go to the bathroom? Not to mention eat, get fresh water, etc.
So I would like to try my hand at making a slightly more sophisticated dungeon, one in which the floor plan makes sense. You know, instead of opening this door and there's a room with two goblins in it, you get the part where the goblins slept, ate, stored their weapons, etc. I think this would be cool.
But my imagination fails me.
So does anybody know of maps like those old D&D style maps, but rendered of actual dugeons, keeps, and castles? Anybody know where I can get some of those? I think studying them would be very instructive, and the dungeons you could make as a result of this study much more believable.

Lots of buildings can be like dungeons but the classic 'dungeon' in the adventure sense almost doesn't exist. Buildings are very very expensive in labour and materials. Tombs exist - usually intended to be fully occupied. Some royal residences serve as prisons for noble captives - Tower of London, see the imprisonment of Mary Queen of Scots. Some buried temples and ruins exist - barrows, perhaps the palace at Knossus.
Most medieval prisons were small by rpg standards - often a room or two, maybe a set of pits. I suspect this was because they were expensive and perhaps unsightly. Work houses were bigger because they actually produced something.
Modern buildings - Schools not in use, Chernobyl - vacated town, and many modern prisons are far closer to 'dungeons' on the grand RPG scale of things.
btw Here's a cool blog entry with lots of real images and evocative talk about themes etc...

--- Sigurd
I remember playing a TSR dungeon a long time ago where a fair part of the story took place in the attic of a manor. The manor, including the attic, was nicely mapped, but they forgot to include some stairs or a ladder to actually reach that attic. Also, while there was a bathroom (or several) included, the bathtub measured 5x10 feet, and the (single) beds were even bigger...
To be honest, these were the least of the problems we had with that adventure (it went from hilarious to downright sad), and since then we have never played another ready-made dungeon again.
Edit: It was TSR #2509 "Night of the Vampire" for those interested.

Understanding Your Type of Bladder Cancer
One way to discuss bladder cancer is to describe what kind of cells it starts from. The bladder is made up of many layers of cells. Bladder cancer can affect any 1 or all of these cells. These are the 3 types of cells most commonly affected:
Urothelial cells (also called transitional cells). These cells make up the tissue that line the inside of the bladder called the urothelium. Cancer in this area is called urothelial carcinoma or transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). This type is the most common bladder cancer.
Squamous cells. These look like cells from the skin. They lie under the transitional cells.
Cells that make up glands. This type of bladder cancer is called adenocarcinoma. It is very rare. Only 1% to 2% of people with bladder cancer have this type.
Another way to talk about bladder cancer is by how deeply it invades the wall of the bladder. The 2 main classifications for bladder cancer are superficial and invasive:
Superficial bladder cancer. This is cancer that affects only the lining of the bladder. After treatment, superficial bladder cancer may come back, usually as another superficial cancer. Many transitional cell cancers are superficial.
Invasive bladder cancer. This cancer affects deeper layers of the bladder, which may include the outer muscular wall. Invasive bladder cancer may spread to nearby organs, such as the kidneys, the prostate gland (in men), and the uterus and vagina (in women). It may also spread to the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small, pea-sized storage units for special cells that fight infections. Clusters of lymph nodes are located in the groin, abdomen, chest, underarms, and neck. Almost all squamous cell bladder cancers and adenocarcinomas are invasive.
Subtypes of TCC
Transitional cell carcinomas (also known as urothelial carcinomas) may also be described as being either papillary or flat:
Papillary tumors. These look like small mushrooms and grow into the open part of the bladder. They rarely invade other parts of the bladder. Some types of papillary tumors tend to come back. However, they can be removed fairly easily with minimal damage to the bladder itself. These tumors may be superficial or invasive. Invasive bladder tumors penetrate the inner bladder wall and can spread to other parts of the body.
Flat tumors. These do not grow into the open part of the bladder. They may be either superficial or invasive.

Disney Will Delay Pirates Of The Caribbean DVD For A Month After Blu-Ray
Yesterday, Disney announced the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Blu-Ray, 3D Blu-Ray, and movie download release for October 18. Oddly, the only mention of a DVD release came with the available combo packs. Since Disney isnt known for making many mistakes, the looming lack of DVD release seemed like it could be a serious problem.

I have a 24"w x 22"h forkie on my wall! An absolutely beautiful mount! A biologist with F & G validated the tag and told me it was a pretty old deer. He said a lot of times when they get just past their "prime", their antlers will revert back instead of gain points. He called it a "Pacific Buck". Regardless, it was a great buck, shot it in 1969 in D7. Big body, weighted 179# field dressed. There were 3 bucks moving together in some pretty thick manzanita brush and all I could see was horns, all were nice shooter bucks (at leasy for me). I held on a small opening about 100 yards away and slightly downhill and when the first one moved thru it, I popped him. My hunting buddy worked down to where the buck was and I started down to start gutting him. I asked how big he was and he said "Just a Forkie". I yelled no way, when I got to the deer he had the biggest grin on his face and just about fell over laughing.
I'll get a picture and post it. I think it might be already on my Profile. It's the last one, only one with 2 images. Bottom pict.

Hey CC, just saw the pictures in your profile, "Man," you have taken some nice cali bucks!! The one tied to the horse, looks to be around 30 inches wide.
I have...got a couple over 30" over the years. That one was 31" (if I remember correctly!) All of them were taken in D7 backcountry.

In 1991, renowned New York dermatologist Dr. Howard Sobel founded DDF, Doctor's Dermatologic Formula, to enable his patients to care for their skin at home. Inspired by dermatologic approach and expertise, the DDF skin care system is designed with advanced protocols targeting one or more specific skin concerns. This skin care collection contains some of Sobel's signature ingredient blends and is designed to help people everywhere benefit from the Doctor's treatments.
Drawing on his background as a dermatologist, Dr. Howard Sobel, developed an innovative collection of skin care formulas carried by the brand known as DDF, or Doctor's Dermatologic Formula. Understanding the risk of possible unpleasant side effects through the use of strong clinical formulas, Dr. Sobel took the time to discover unique ingredient blends that would produce desired results without disrupting the skin's existing state of health in a negative way. He did so while keeping in mind that everyone's skin is unique and requires specialized care that addresses individualized needs.
Breaking his products up into categories, he has come up with five innovative groupings: The Clarity Collection, The Purity Collection, The Timeless Collection, The Nourishing Collection, and The Radiance Collection. Each one of these assortments addresses one of the specific needs experienced by different skin types throughout life. Toward that end, each formulation within the DDF brand is blended to encourage a renewed state of health for skin that is suffering from early aging, severe aging, breakouts, sensitivity and skin discoloration.
Creating a personal regimen of skin care solutions from DDF collections is simple and effective. Each of the products has been formulated with unique skin types in mind, so you can easily put together a quality routine. The formulas contain active ingredients that deeply nourish as well as soothing components that pamper your skin. Everything you need to encourage radiant skin is found within this brand, including cleansers, exfoliators, masks, acne treatments, toners, moisturizers, eye products, and treatments.

Hi All,
I have a client who had an 11GB mailbox, I advised him best thing to make life easier would be to archive his emails to Local Folders up to a certain date and continue on with only 6 months of email. This was also to reduce load and costs for running his mailbox.
Problem I have is, I exported the mail from the server, created a TGZ and saved down locally to import into his ZD. ZD Craps out on the import. There are some "\" characters in some of his mail folders. Originally I imported his mail from outlook.pst and had no trouble bringing it in or exporting it.
Now on ZD that I try to bring it back in using .tgz format I get a "import started" and then nothing. No messages in the log or errors.
So, I've copied the .tgz (6.4GB) back to the server to import into a second account but I'm getting
/tmp$ zmmailbox -z -m email@example.com postRestURL "//?fmt=tgz&resolve=reset" MQ-Archive-All-2011-07-20-090115.tgz
ERROR: zclient.IO_ERROR (Broken pipe) (cause: java.net.SocketException Broken pipe)
I suspect it's getting held up on these characters again.. But Im not sure. This is a bit of an ongoing one, I have imported previously into the ZCS then connected ZD, Synced and copied the mail manually (100's of folders) into Local folders only to have ZD crash and erase all knowledge of the mail ever being there and ended up with half his mail missing from the server and none of it locally. He's been away and i've only got the laptop for one day this time. It's annoying and time consuming. 11GB of mail back and forth for syncing to the server and back to simply crap out is eating up hours! this is my third attempt to get Local folders with his archive file and I'm a bit over it, so is the client.
I can decompress the .tgz but I also get character errors on the decompression and it cuts out, I'll try this on linux as it may succeed there due to / and \ having different meaning. But regardless I'm stuck with a backup of archive mail that my client needs access to that I can't get to.
Thoughts? Ideas?
If I can de-compress the .tgz into .meta and .eml files, what is the best way to get em somewhere useful?

Bunky Harkleroad enters his third season at Sacramento State after two record-breaking season leading the Hornet women's basketball program.
In two years under Harkleroad the Hornets have twice broken the NCAA Div. I single season records for 3-pointers made and attempted, and in 2014-15 the team led all of Div. I in 3-pointers, steals, and offensive rebounds per game as well as turnover margin. His teams have broken Big Sky season records for points, field goals, scoring average, steals, 3-pointers, and assists and has established new conference game records in points (123), steals (30), and made 3-pointers (21).
In 2014-15 Harkleroad led Sacramento State to the postseason for the first time in the Div. I era (1991-pres.). The Hornets qualified for the Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) and defeated Pacific and Eastern Washington to reach the round-of-16 before being narrowly defeated by Saint Mary's.
The squad tied for second in the regular season Big Sky standings and was the No. 2 seed for the Big Sky Tournament, the highest tournament seed in program history. The Hornets advanced to the semifinals of the Big Sky Tournament before an overtime loss. Senior Fantasia Hilliard, the program's all-time leader in assists and steals, was an all-Big Sky First Team selection while sophomore Gretchen Harrigan was named the Top Reserve in the conference and was honorable mention.
In his first season in Sacramento Harkleroad was one of five finalists for the 2014 Spalding Maggie Dixon Division I Rookie Coach of the Year award, which honors a Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Division I head coach who has led his or her team to a successful season during his or her first year at the helm.
Harkleroad came to Sacramento State less than a month before the start of the 2013-14 season after he was hired to replace former head coach Jamie Craighead. He had served as the head coach at Glenville State College (WV) for four years after nine seasons as the head coach at Berea College (KY), his alma mater.
Harkleroad led the 2013-14 Hornets to a school record 11-1 start with a record nine-game winning streak, using his up-tempo system to lead the team to wins over quality programs such as Oregon and Saint Mary's. Sacramento State qualified for the Big Sky Tournament for the third consecutive season and finished the year at 18-12, just one win shy of the program record.
During the 2013-14 season Harkleroad's squad broke the NCAA single-season record for three-pointers made and attempted while also breaking school records in points, scoring average, and fewest turnovers. The team led the nation in steals per game and 3-pointers per game while also ranking highly in points per game and turnover margin. Junior point guard Fantasia Hilliard earned honorable mention All-Big Sky Honors after breaking the program career and single-season assist records.
Harkleroad runs a high-tempo system that continues the playing style employed by Craighead. His non-traditional style produces fast-paced play aimed at overwhelming an opponent both physically and mentally while providing fans with an entertaining product.
Glenville State, which is located in Glenville, W.Va., led NCAA Div. II in scoring in each of Harkleroad's four seasons and averaged 95.3 points per game in 2012-13. Glenville's record improved every season during Harkleroad's tenure while the squad broke virtually every offensive record at the college, compiling a 91-30 overall record with a 47-3 mark in home games. He was a finalist for NCAA Div. II Coach of the Year after his final season at Glenville State.
Glenville State made two NCAA Tournament appearances in Harkleroad's four seasons at the school while winning a West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC) tournament title and a regular season title. The Pioneers went 27-4 in 2012-13 while outscoring their opposition by an average of 18.1 points per game with 13 games scoring more than 100 points. The team also broke the Div. II NCAA Tournament record with 21 three-pointers made in a game vs. Shaw that season.
In addition to leading NCAA Div. II in scoring Glenville State also led in three-pointers made per game in three of Harkleroad's four seasons at the school and led Div. II in turnover margin in 2012. He was named the 2013 WVIAC Coach of the Year and the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Region Coach of the Year before becoming a finalist for national Coach of the Year honors.
Harkleroad came to Glenville State after spending nine seasons as the head coach at Berea College, an NAIA Div. II school located in Berea, Ky. His overall record at Berea was 167-93 while he led the team to its first 20-win season in school history and totaled five 20-win seasons. Berea won three consecutive Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (KIAC) tournament titles and made three straight NAIA National Tournament appearances between 2005 and 2007.
Berea College also broke 33 NAIA records and 24 team records during Harkleroad's tenure. His players earned two NAIA honorable mention All-America honors and one WBCA/Kodak honorable mention All-America award.
Harkleroad attended Berea College where he played for NAIA Hall of Fame coach Roland Wierwille and graduated in 1993 with a bachelor of arts degree in history. He earned a teaching certificate and taught public school in Berea for 12 years before earning a master's degree in sports administration from the United States Sports Academy in 2004.
Harkleroad and his wife Shan have three children, Tory (20), Tahni (19), and Ty (16).

1. Ok so the first thing you have to do is get some terrain. I won't go into that part here as there are many other tuts for that.
2. The second thing is to have your rivers and lakes on a layer separate from the terrain.
Here's what I have so far...2 layers, terrain and river.

A Croatian fan managed to get onto the tennis court last night after Andy Murray's 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 win over Marin Cilic in the Aussie Open semifinals.
He was eventually carted away by security but not before he was able to get close enough to shake hands with his compatriot, recalling last year's U.S. Open when an excited fan ran onto the court and planted a smooch on Rafael Nadal before security took him away and Roland Garros when a man tried to put a flag on Roger Federer during the final.
As you can see in this photo below the security in yellow (is being bald a prerequisite for this job?) seemed a bit frozen in their tracks even after he got what the 21-year old called a "present":
Q. Did you have somebody come up to you out of the stands and shake your hand?
MARIN CILIC: I think the fan got excited and he wanted to shake my hand, so... I gave him a present.
Q. What did you give him?
MARIN CILIC: Nothing. I shook his hand.
Q. He had a Croatian jumper on.
MARIN CILIC: Right, he was happy.
Okay these incidents are driving me fucking bonkers. I mean, it's good to see Marin taking it in stride but this is a big issue that needs to be addressed. Even if the ballers don't react negatively in the moment it must be a little worrisome at some level to see how easy it is for anyone in the stands to reach them. It's one thing for someone in the stands to get on court but a whole other thing to get on court and make contact with a baller. The security must have had an opportunity to stop him before he got to Marin but they failed.
How many times does this need to happen before the ITF takes a hard look at their security procedures at matches and makes real improvements? Does someone need to be harmed again before they make a concerted effort to protect the ballers? After incidents at three of the four majors you'd think they'd realize there's a big problem.
This particular fan is not even sprinting or even jogging around the court - he's moving around with ease. This is not acceptable. At all.

LemonFree has found some important recall information regarding 2007 BMW 3 Series vehicles2007 BMW 3 Series (8/10/2012)
Campaign Number: 12E029000
Component Name: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN
Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC
Description: This recall involves aftermarket parts sold by Valeo. Valeo is recalling certain engine cooling fans, part numbers 696121, 696273, and 696275, used as service replacement parts for model year 2008-2011 BMW 1-Series, 2006-2011 BMW 3-Series, 2000-2009 BMW 5-Series, 2004-2005 BMW 6-Series, and 2006-2007 BMW 7-Series vehicles. A metal-oxide semiconductor may overheat due to insufficient screwing of the semiconductor on the aluminum heat sink. This primary failure could cause adjacent components on the fan assembly motor circuit board to overheat and short.
Defect: This condition could cause the fan motor to become inoperative, or cause the motor circuit board in the assembly to overheat, potentially leading to a fire in the engine compartment.
Corrective Action: Valeo will notify owners and replace the fans free of charge. The safety recall began on August 22, 2012. This recall is being conducted by Valeo, not by BMW. For further information, owners may contact Valeo at 1-888-718-2536.

n I'm calling about the administrator from MSU, where she said to "bring it on" to these students. I saw where a few of the students, she gave out their emails. That is against the law. That is a federal offense, and I think she should be brought to trial or court on stuff like that.

Bengals even record, pounce on Steelers
Andy Dalton threw for 280 yards and the tie-breaking touchdown as the Cincinnati Bengals evened their record at 1-1 by beating Pittsburgh 20-10. Giovani Bernard accounted for both Bengals touchdowns, rushing for a seven-yard score in the first quarter before grabbing a 27-yard TD pass from Dalton in the third period. The Steelers had just 44 rushing yards in falling to 0-2.
Safety suspended
Tampa Bay safety Dashon Goldson has been suspended for one game for flagrant and repeat violations of NFL safety rules prohibiting hits to the head and neck area of defenseless players. Goldson was penalized for unnecessary roughness in the second quarter of Sunday's game against New Orleans for making direct, helmet-to-helmet contact with a defenseless receiver, Darren Sproles. Goldson can't practice this week nor play in the Buccaneers' game on Sunday against New England.
Tampa Bay tops Texas
Tampa Bay beat Texas 6-2 last night, giving the Rays a one-game lead over the Rangers in the scramble for the first AL wild-card berth. Wil Myers homered and had three RBIs to support Alex Cobb, who allowed two runs and six hits while striking out 10 in eight innings. The Cleveland Indians lost to Kansas City 7-1, keeping the Indians a half-game behind the Rangers and pulling the Royals within 2 ½ games of Texas.
Pirates tied for the top
Pittsburgh and St. Louis continue to share the NL Central lead after both teams lost last night. Andrew Cashner faced the minimum 27 batters while tossing a one-hitter in San Diego's 2-0 shutout of the Pirates. The Cardinals were 6-2 losers at Colorado as Wilin Rosario sparked a four-run eighth by supplying the tiebreaking, RBI single.
$10 million up for grabs
Zach Johnson closed with a 6-under-par 65 to win the rain-delayed BMW Championship by two shots over Nick Watney. Johnson now has the No. 4 seed going into Tour Championship, giving him a clear shot at the FedEx Cup and its $10 million prize. Jim Furyk built a two-shot lead with a 10-foot birdie putt on 10, but he played the last eight holes in 2-over and wound up with a 71 to finish alone in third.
