Wimberly Joins List of Star JC Running Backs at ISU
AMES, Iowa - The emergence of running back Aaron Wimberly has ignited the Iowa State offense in recent games. Since the junior college transfer was inserted into the ISU lineup for the Tulsa game, the Cyclones have averaged 402.7 yards of total offense, including 174.3 yards on the ground.
The Snellville, Ga., native was pegged to be a strong contributor for the Cyclones this season after an All-American career at Iowa Western C.C. Wimberly helped lead the Reivers to the 2012 NJCAA national championship after rushing for 1,125 yards and 13 touchdowns.
Wimberly's breakout game at ISU came against Tulsa when he rushed for 137 yards. He followed that performance with a 117-yard game with a pair of touchdowns vs. Texas.
The speedster leads the team in rushing with 367 yards, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. His quick bursts and cuts are what make him dangerous, and Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads likes what he sees so far.
"He's got a step of quickness and is an excellent one-cut guy," Rhoads said. "He runs hard and he runs fast. He's a good football player."
Wimberly isn't the only junior college running back to find immediate success at Iowa State. The Cyclones have had an outstanding tradition of junior college running backs producing memorable moments, and Wimberly is certainly among them.
Cyclones.com went back into the history book to give you a quick look at other star Cyclone running backs from the junior college ranks.
Dwayne Crutchfield (1980-81) 6-0, 225, Cincinnati, Ohio (Garden City [Kan.] Junior College)
Crutchfield burst onto the scene in 1980 by breaking Iowa State's then single-season rushing mark with 1,312 yards. Crutchfield was unlike any other runner the Cyclones had ever seen. He wasn't fast, or very quick, but as head coach Donnie Duncan put it best, "He's like a bull coming out of a chute."
Crutchfield punished would-be tacklers for 11 touchdowns and a 4.6 ypc average in his All-American junior season. He had seven 100-yard games in 1980 to earn first-team All-Big Eight honors. Crutchfield reached the 1,000-yard mark again as a senior (1981), running for 1,189 yards. He is one of seven Cyclone running backs in school history to amass 1,000 yards in a season multiple times.
Crutchfield went on to play three seasons in the NFL.
Blaise Bryant (1989-90) 6-0, 200, Huntington Beach, Calif. (Golden West [Calif.] College)
Nine years after Crutchfield set ISU's single-season rushing mark it was eclipsed by another junior college transfer Blaise Bryant. Bryant ranked fourth in the nation in rushing in 1989, grinding out 1,516 yards on the ground to earn All-America honors and Big Eight Newcomer of the Year accolades. Bryant also set the school mark for rushing touchdowns in a season with 19.
Bryant was the nation's leading returning rusher in 1990 and a preseason All-America pick in virtually all preseason magazines. Injuries plagued Bryant's senior season, however. He still led the team in rushing with 753 yards and 12 touchdowns despite missing two games.
His 1,516 yards in 1989 is third-best single-season total in school history.
Harold Brown (1982) 6-2, 210, Ravenna, Ohio (Joliet [Ill.] Junior College)
Harold Brown only had one year of eligibility at Iowa State in 1982 after transferring from Joliet Junior College. Brown played two seasons at Ohio State before going to Joliet, where he set the all-time junior college rushing mark with 2,100 yards and 20 touchdowns in his only season there.
Brown had a solid season for the Cyclones in 1982, rushing for 622 yards and scoring eight touchdowns at 5.5 yards per carry clip, which ranks as one of the best single-season averages in ISU history.
Brown is best remembered for his 242-yard, three-touchdown performance vs. Kent State in 1982. It was the third-best single-game rushing performance in ISU history at the time and it ranks ninth all-time in school history now.
Andrew Jackson (1985-86) 5-10, 195, Los Angeles, Calif. (El Camino [Calif.] Junior College)
Andrew Jackson led the Cyclones in rushing in both of his seasons in Ames with 415 yards in 1985 and 455 yards in 1986. Jackson was a member of the USC football team for one season before heading to junior college.
Jackson tallied a career-high 141 yards vs. Kansas State in 1985 and had a 140-yard performance vs. Wyoming as a senior in 1986.

Portland Swap Meet - Swap Meet Shoppin'Written by on December 16, 2010 One Man's Junk Is Another Man's Treasure
A good swap meet is like a treasure hunt because you never know what you're going to find and one of the best events on the West Coast is held in Portland, Oregon, every April.
Although the primary function of a swap meet is obvious, they also serve another purpose-they're a great indicator of the economics within the hobby as the basic concept of supply and demand couldn't be more evident. On that subject, we made a number of observations about the custom classic truck scene and some of them appear to be contradictory. Chevy C series are hot and the price for complete trucks is on the rise, while on the other hand Chevy parts are plentiful so they remain reasonable-go figure. As always, '53-56 Ford F-100s are desirable, although the price for complete trucks seems to have softened ever so slightly, and while later Fords are increasing in value the biggest jump in sticker prices was on F-1s. These haulers are really coming on strong and the price of parts reflects the demand, they're going up. Then there are the Dodges-while Mopar fans are loyal, they're small in number and we didn't see many trucks for sale and not much in the way of parts either. That means building something different, like a Mopar (or how about an International?) could be a challenge, but then it may be an inexpensive way to go and definitely set your ride apart.
There's an old saying: "Let the buyer beware" and it must have been coined by someone who attended lots of swap meets. When hunting for parts come prepared and make sure you know exactly what you're looking at. We've actually seen few instances of a seller purposely identifying an item incorrectly. But just because someone says a part or piece is one thing doesn't necessarily mean it's not something else-they may not know. A case in point-one vendor was selling an intake manifold with three carbs that was said to be factory setup for a small-block Chevy. We knew there was never any such thing and what he had was for a 348. Out of curiosity we asked the seller for more information and he explained the tri-power set had been purchased years ago at another swap meet but since it was never installed he decided to part with it. After we, and several others, convinced the seller what the parts were the sign was corrected and shortly after the manifold and carbs went to a new home. While some misrepresentations are honest mistakes, others are not. There are those who will try to hide flaws; as an example, take a close look at parts in fresh primer, flat black from a rattle can hides a multitude of sins.
When it comes to good buys, abandoned projects can be an absolute bargain. For one reason or another someone's dream of building a truck came to a halt and now it's got a For Sale sign hanging on it with a price far less that the value of the individual parts. For some recouping a portion of a lost investment is often better that letting it sit in the garage. Then there are projects for sale because they became someone's nightmare. It may be on the block because the builder got in over his head and made modifications that were ill advised he and didn't know how or couldn't afford to fix them. We've seen frames that have been butchered with horrific clips, chopped cabs that were crooked and worse and the owner wanted out. In some cases the project in question could be saved in others it was beyond help. In any case, when buying someone's stalled project look it over carefully to make sure you're not getting in over your head, and, most importantly make sure it has identification numbers and a good title. In most states today registering any vehicle without the proper paper trail and corresponding ID numbers can be difficult, if not impossible.
We've always found that swap meets were great places to look for a finished truck as there are often bargains to be had. However don't let money burn a hole in your pocket-the trick is to shop carefully and make sure you're not going to want, or have to, make a host of changes to a finished vehicle. Minor tweaks are one thing but major changes can get out of control and become expensive very quickly so factor any alterations into the purchase price. And again, make sure to verify ID numbers. Now with that said we have to point out that when you do find a truck you want, don't hesitate. A good friend found the truck of his dreams and while he walked around thinking about it someone else made a deal and drove it home.
At the last Portland event we found a ton of parts and a half-dozen trucks in conditions ranging from salvageable to show worthy we would have liked to haul home; but we were in a rental car so our capacity was limited. The 2011 Portland Swap Meet will be held April 1, 2, 3 at the Portland Metropolitan Exposition Center and next time we'll be taking a truck and trailer-just in case.

With a 327 under the hood, a Turbo 350, disc brakes, and Flowmasters this very presentable '70 Chevy short box was priced at $15.5K.Lots of effort and a long list of improvements and new parts came with this '68 Chevy Stepside. A 400 small-block with an Edelbrock carburetor and manifold, a Turbo 400 with a shift kit, a new radiator, even the heater motor was new. A factory tach, sport wheel, custom grille treatment, the addition of a '72 bumper with parking lights and fresh paint made the $13.5K asking price seem more than reasonable.Considerable time and money has been invested in this '53 GMC. There's a blown small-block Chevy under the hood backed by a Turbo 400 transmission and a 9-inch Ford rearend. Nice paint and interior make this truck hard to duplicate for the $39K asking price.A work in progress, this '56 F-100 has a 460 Ford under the hood, power steering, widened rear fenders, and an asking price of $8.4K. A few more bucks for dropped suspension components, new wheels and tires and you'd have a cool cruiser for reasonable money.Equipped with a 305 V-8 and a four-speed, this '60 GMC had fresh paint and an unusual set of fender skirts. Asking price was $6.8K.This may have been one of the best buys we found. A stone stocker, this one-owner '72 C10 was as original as they come and had complete records from the day it was new. With only a few minor blemishes, this truck is as nice as you're likely to find, and the vintage camper was included in the $9.5K asking price.Second series '55 Chevrolets are a valuable commodity-this one had excellent chrome, a very nice body and interior, and a 235-inch six cylinder and a three-speed manual trans and an asking price of $15.5K. You have to ask yourself a couple of questions when looking at a truck like this. Could you build one for the asking price? How much would you change and what would that cost?With white paint, black wheels, and stock hubcaps this '59 Chevy Apache Fleetside was so subtle it probably didn't get the attention it deserved-that was until the owner fired it up and the twin pipes burbled.
We didn't see many Mopars at this event although we did spot this '71 Dodge D-200 equipped with a 383 and TorqueFlite and wearing a $4,995 price tag. Truly tough trucks, this one was in nice shape and would make a great vintage hauler.For little truckers this pair was available, would it be tacky to charge the neighborhood kids for a ride?The second owner of this '64 F-100 was looking for $10.5K or trade. In the weeds, the Ford had undergone a Chevy350/350 engine and trans transplant.If you're looking for the unusual, how about a '60 Ford panel truck-there were only around 10,000 made and this was the last year for the fullsize version (the Econoline came out in '61). All original with a 292 V-8 and three-speed. The asking price for this one started at $9,900 and dropped to $8,500.For those looking for an affordable Ford project, this F-100 was said to be in running and driving condition for $1,700.Or, for those with a big family or lots of friends, how about a '57 Chevy Series 6700 school bus. It had the original 283 V-8 and four-speed, with a $12.5K asking price.Careful shopping can turn up some good buys on abandoned projects. This '56 Ford F-100 custom cab had a Volare frontend installed and came with a ton of parts-price was negotiable.While it looks original, other than the wheels and tires, this '50 Chevy pickup received a full mechanical restoration up to and including freshening the 216-cubic-inch six cylinder. While the $6K asking price probably wasn't out of line considering what had been done, most prospective buyers will probably want to scrap the six and update the running gear.
For those preferring something larger, this '70 Jeep/Kaiser 5-ton truck could have been yours for $12.5K. Notice how it dwarfs the Falcon wagon next to it.Speaking of shopping carefully, this big-window Chevy had some good and some bad. Lots of goodies on a big-block, nice wheels and tires, a shiny bumper, and a chassis that showed promise but we'd want to see if the doors would come anywhere near fitting the hammered, firewall-less cab.This savable '56 GMC hood with surface rust was cheap at $25. For anyone with such a truck it was worth the price to have a spare, or how about punching it full of louvers and replacing a stocker for a fresh look.For $100 this hood was worth buying for the trim we needed for an upcoming project. Unfortunately for us we were in a rental car, otherwise it would have had a new home.We ran across several chopped pickup cabs, and while they are tempting if you're thinking of building something with a lowered lid, check the workmanship carefully. In particular the windshield posts should be inspected closely to ensure it's possible to fit glass.We found what seemed to be a number of good buys on sheetmetal-the asking price on this pretty nice Chevy bed and fenders was $150.We found a surprising number of solid, bare cabs. Keep in mind the paper trail necessary to title a pieced-together truck. A title has to come from somewhere, based on serial numbers on something-either the body or the frame, depending on the vehicle.

Fernando Verdasco was spotted with Ana Ivanovic's mama, Dragana, watching her daughter practice before going down to Zheng Jie in Beijing today.
Hmmm - after seeing Fernando whisper "sweet somethings" to the Serb during the player party this week and now this photo, the pair are most definitely getting closer. Another trip to Spain for Ana has got to be in the works.
I'm liking the idea of "Anando" very much - quite the sexy couple. What says you? Do tell!
Side note: Though she seems sweet enough, the name "Dragana" scares the crap out of me. Don't ask...

I think Fernando and Ana would make a cute couple.ReplyDelete
Dragana is a pretty fierce name, I wouldn't mess with someone with a mum called that.
- AnonymousSeptember 26, 2008 at 7:21 PM
Dragana is actually a pretty sweet name - in Serbian, it translates as Honey.ReplyDelete
Btw, the lady is a lawyer by profession, but stopped practicing to travel with daughter. So, there is some fierceness involved and Nando should mind his steps.
anon: well thanks for translating - not what you would think at all. how about i just call her 'honey'?!ReplyDelete
agreed, its scary. i always thought dragon when i heard dragana.ReplyDelete
- Uvijek ArgenSeptember 27, 2008 at 12:12 AM
Haaa!!...funny will be that Fernando its flirting with Dragana...you know...she its a MILF!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the translation. I got desensitized to the dragoniness of several Eastern European names a while back. Ha, did you know that Bulgarians nod no and shake their heads yes, as in their yes is our no?ReplyDelete
Anando would be too gorgeous for words. I more than like the idea.
Feli must be jealous but, i like them together...alot. Maybe that's why they're both so distracted.ReplyDelete
I like it, they are really cute together :)ReplyDelete
But it's sad that this would mean Fernando isn't available anymore, hehe ;)
t: did not know that - very interesting indeedReplyDelete
b2012: maybe that's why ana is spiraling out of control - her head is somewhere else completely. i can see how nando could be distracting!
kiko: yes, make your move now before it's too late!
- AnonymousSeptember 27, 2008 at 9:03 AM
dragana does not mean 'honey'... 'draga' literally translates to 'dear' so dragana stems from that adjective. the male version of the name is dragan. both are very common in serbia.ReplyDelete
anon: oh no so her name doesn't mean 'honey'? can someone out there clarify?? serbia speak!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 27, 2008 at 10:30 AM
Yes, Dragana means Honey, or Sweetheart, or Darling (not honey as in bee product!). The male version of the name is indeed Dragan (with the same meaning).ReplyDelete
It's true about the root of the word "draga" being "dear".
anon: ah-ha! thank you now i understand. I was thinking the bee-made stuff. i like!ReplyDelete
Well, they would look good together..but he is a head case on the court, and his tennis game needs a LOT of improvement. And it is NOT going to help Ana to win the tournaments, that's for sure.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 27, 2008 at 5:30 PM
well this would be a huge mistake for Ana to be "involved" with verdasco. he isnt a relationship guy he is just after his next conquest. once he succeeds he will move onto someone else. all you need is to look at fernado's track record to see what he is after it isnt rocket science. geez he has a different women on his arm every week.ReplyDelete
i also agree with irene's point if fernando hurts Ana i cant imagine what it would do to her confidence. given her current state of mind it could get very ugly.
- CristinaSeptember 27, 2008 at 6:28 PM
Anando! I love it Rich! The boy has some serious game.ReplyDelete
cristina: i figured why not just name it already...it's pretty obvious there's something happening. hotness abounds!ReplyDelete
He was also in her playersbox at her matches and they were spotted together during non-official happenings (i don't know if that's how you call it..)ReplyDelete
And anonymous, I didn't know about him having another girl every week..never read something like that.
"And anonymous, I didn't know about him having another girl every week..never read something like that."ReplyDelete
- I've never heard or read anything about his "dating" ways before anon mentioned it. I'm not sure how true it is but, if it is, I'd love to read about it. Send the info this way!
Ok, I did some research about Nando's dating ways.ReplyDelete
He has 'snagged' some girls over the years, including tennis player Gisela Dulko and Spanish model Dafne Fernandez.
He has had a girlfriend for some years, model Priscilla de Gustin. At the French Open they were still together, and as far as known they still are. So that would mean all those rumors about Anando aren't true :(
(or am I spreading old news?)
"So that would mean all those rumors about Anando aren't true :("ReplyDelete
- Based on the images and Fernando sitting with Dragana in her box and at courtside I'd say something is going on. If not a dating thing, maybe it's a PR thing to get his face out there.
He could also be pulling a Shriekapova from the US Open '07 when she was in Nole's box for the final and then seen with him throughout this year.
But you don't hang with someone's mom unless the mom was cool with you hanging with her daughter.
We'll see!
That's right, about the PR thing: Ivanovic and Verdasco are both with Adidas. And Ivanovic´s coach, Sven Groeneveld, is also a part-time coach of Verdasco. And they both have the same sparring partner. Quite some thing in common..although I don't think that could explain why he's hanging out with her mom.ReplyDelete
So I hope the rumors are true ^^
I'm away from my computer for 1 weekend and not only is there a HOTT (did I stress how HOTT Anando is...I need some some water...a fan....) tennis hook-ups but Rafa's rear too!?! Love it! :)ReplyDelete
welcome back erin! and they say the fall tennis season sucks. Asses & Anando, what more could anyone ask for, huh?ReplyDelete

Weekend Box Office: Pain and Gain Pumps Up The Top Spot
Michael Bay scored one of the worst openings for one of his movies this weekend, but you won't hear him complaining too much. Turns out this was also one of his cheaper movies (one of only a few with a price tag less than $100 million). The $20 million debut was a comparably decent start against its non-special-effects-laden $26 million reported budget, and was enough to nab number on a slow weekend.

Dwayne Johnson Loses A Toe In Red Band Trailer For Michael Bay's Pain And Gain
After watching this trailer, I must admit that I'm curious just how far Bay will be pushing the content of his latest film, which he has previous compared to a Coen brothers movie, rather than being like his more recent Transformers fare.

Mark Wahlberg Gets His Pump On In New Pain & Gain TV Spot
This has to be one of the grander experiments of 2013, no? Bay, of course, isn't known for his carefully tuned storytelling, but has likened this project to a dark comedy a la the Coen brothers. The trailers still show plenty of flash, but the laugh are there. If this were a creature at the zoo I'd stare at it for hours out of curiosity.

Pain & Gain Poster Has Dwayne Johnson And Mark Wahlberg Looking Muscled And Serious
When we shared the first poster released for Michael Bay's 2013 action-comedy Pain & Gain, Eric pointed out that most posters for Bay's movies are "filled with super star A-list actors not looking back at the bomb they just set off." The newest poster borrows some of that concept, putting two of its A-listers front and center, but trading explosions for an American flag backdrop.

World War Z And Pain & Gain Reveal First Footage At Paramount Presentation

And no, before you ask, neither of them were Star Trek Into Darkness-- all we got from that was the same bit of director J.J. Abrams's appearance on Conan

Pump Your Guns With The First Teaser Poster For Michael Bay's Pain And Gain
Michael Bay's Pain and Gain won't be out until April of next year, but apparently the marketing push has already begun. The film is a big experiment for the director as it's been described as Coen brothers-esque dark crime comedy, which should be very different than what we usually expect from a Michael Bay movie (Read: explosions and mayhem).

Michael Bay's Pain And Gain Gets A Release Date
Michael Bay has always been a summer movie king. Since the first Bad Boys - which came out in April - every single one of the action director's movies have been released during the summer, from the Transformers trilogy to Armageddon. His next film, however, which has been described as a "Coen brothers-esque" dark crime comedy, that streak will officially be broken, as it's been announced that Pain and Gain will be coming out on...

Michael Bay has described his next film, Pain and Gain, as being similar to a Coen brothers crime film, but that's not the only way he seems to be emulating the Oscar winning siblings - he's reusing his old castmembers as well. He already has Ed Harris (The Rock) as well as John Turturro (the Transformers trilogy) and now he's added yet another Bay veteran.

Michael Bay Hires Screenwriter Scott Rosenberg To Punch Up Pain & Gain
Rosenberg will polish Bays shooting script, which follows two Miami bodybuilders who dabbled in kidnapping and extortion but saw their criminal empire come to a convoluted close when things go awry. Comparisons have been made between this based-on-true-events story and the Coen Brothers Fargo, which sounds fantastic if Bay can pull it off.

Michael Bay Casts An Israeli Supermodel To Play The Female Lead In Pain And Gain
Michael Bay is a man that knows what he likes and one thing that definitely fits in that category is beautiful women.

Mackie has proven himself capable of jumping into just about anything and making it better, from excellent second-banana work in The Hurt Locker to a slyly funny and soulful role in The Adjustment Bureau to, hey why not, Real Steel.

John Turturro May Reunite With Michael Bay For Pain And Gain
Pain and Gain will be Bay's first real comedy, which carries with it a lot of risks and potential for overblown action that takes away from what's actually funny.

UPDATE: Michael Bay Wants Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson For His Bodybuilding Comedy
Both actors have had discussions with Bay, though Johnsons closer to signing than Wahlberg. The story would be adapted from an article that ran in Miami New Times back in 1999. Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who co-wrote Captain America together, wrote the original script and admit it mirrors Fargo, but both actors have a slew of potential projects on their plate...

Michael Bay's Crime Comedy Pain And Gain Compared To Fargo
It's been described as in the vein of Pulp Fiction, and Bay called it "a fun character piece. No action. One car crash." Sounds about as un-Bay as you can get, but according to Bay and screenwriters Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus, Pain and Gain has been moved to the front burner

It happens every year, always on October 31st.
All year, it's just a quiet family yard in the middle of Missoula.
Then every year on Halloween, things get weird.
Barbara and Jim Bickel's yard on South 3rd St. West gives way to a noisy cemetery.
The Bickels welcome the "undead" every year, and open up the creepy cemetery full of zombies, vampires and Grim Reapers to trick or treaters.
Kids and adults find the ghouls charming.
Jim Bickel doesn't mind sharing his home with his odd friends.
They talk to him all the time.
They tell him they're tired of being underground all year long, and that it's time to come out and have some fun.
The "undead" who take up residence in the Bickel lawn look a little strange, with their snaggle teeth and green complexions.
"They're dead," Barbara Bickel reminds us,"that's why they don't look quite right."
Visitors like what they see.
Kathy Borg is an adult who enjoys the cemetery residents.
"It's spooky," said Borg, "it gives you chills."
That's okay.
The Bickel's tenants mean well.
"They're friendly, " said Barbara, "they're just dead.
And for one evening, they welcome everybody to their cemetery for a little Halloween cheer.

Field Events Highlight Cyclones' Big 4 Dual Showing
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Iowa State men's and women's track and field teams competed at the Big 4 Duals, Saturday, opening up the 2014 season for several competitors. Field event victories from Christina Hillman, Jan Jeuschede, Kelly McCoy and Kevin Poster highlighted the Cyclone effort.
In the shot put, 2013 All-American Christina Hillman continued her impressive start to the year, winning the event with a best throw of 55-01.00. Hillman hit the mark on her second throw of competition and outthrew the field by over eight feet. The Cyclone hurler holds two of the top throws in the nation, including a nation-leading throw of 57-05.50.
On the men's side, Jan Jeuschede also won by an impressive margin. On his first throw of the day, Jeuschede hurled the 16-pound shot a season-best 60 feet, three inches. That throw would be more than enough, as none of his competitors would eclipse the 58-feet mark. The Rosrath, Germany, native is currently ranked just outside of the nation's top-15.
In the men's triple jump, Kevin Poster an indoor personal-record of 47-03.25, besting his previous mark by three inches. Poster lept over eight inches farther than the next closest jumper.
High jumper Kelly McCoy notched a win in the high jump, clearing the bar at 5 feet, 8 inches. The win marks her second of the season.
Maggie Gannon picked up a victory in a very technical 800-meter race. The field ran a slower pace overall and it came down to a final kick to seal Gannon's win. The Burlington, Ill., native crossed the line in 2:16.54.
Cyclone freshman Derek Jones captured the 400-meter title, with an indoor personal best of 50.00 seconds.

UAlbany Biologist to Develop Framework for Biodiversity Conservation Project in Central Africa
UAlbany biologist Mary Katherine Gonder is renowned for inferring the genetic histories of chimpanzees and humans. (Rob Spring Photography)
ALBANY, N.Y. (December 17, 2012) – University at Albany biologist Mary Katherine Gonder will conduct an international biodiversity conservation project in Central Africa. In collaboration with the National Science Foundation's Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) program, Gonder will develop an evolutionarily-informed framework for protecting Central African biodiversity under climate change, while grounding the results in the socioeconomic realities of the region.
Gonder will lead twenty undergraduate U.S. and African students to improve biodiversity conservation strategies in Central Africa, a region expected to experience drastic changes as global climate continues to warm. The project unites 150 senior investigators, junior researchers and students from the U.S., Africa, and Europe in a common research and education plan centered in Gabon and Cameroon.
While Gonder is renowned for inferring the genetic histories of chimpanzees and humans, this new research aims to improve biodiversity prediction and conservation strategies in Central Africa. Her work is highly collaborative and occurs within a diverse, international network that includes academic researchers, conservation professionals and decision-makers.
In support of this initiative, Gonder received a $975,868 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). She is a co-principal investigator, along with Nicola Anthony of the University of New Orleans. Thomas B. Smith of the University of California, Los Angeles, is the principal investigator. The funding is part of a $4.95 million five-year grant awarded through the NSF's PIRE program.
Using new genetic technology, biological data, and environmental data to identify hotspots of biodiversity and determine how they are likely to change as the climate changes, PIRE will contribute to conservation planning in Central Africa. The project includes studies of multiple species, including plants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
Gonder will also conduct research to identify hotspots of biological diversity in chimpanzees and in a flowering plant that constitutes up to 30 percent of the annual diet of chimpanzees. She will work with socio-economists as they assess conservation potential near hotspots by mapping local socioeconomic trends. Participants will also conduct interviews with local people to understand how conservation action in the hotspots will affect their lives, which will assist policy makers with conservation planning.
Gonder at a camp in a Cameroon village.
"The rainforests of the Congo Basin and Gulf of Guinea are among the most important centers of biological diversity in the world, harboring roughly 20 percent of all known species of plants and animals," said Gonder. "The future of the rich biodiversity of this region is in peril. UAlbany is proud to play a substantial role in this project."
Gonder's students will visit several sites across Gabon and Cameroon, including sites near the Sanaga River in Cameroon, where she made the discovery that two subspecies of chimps had separated.
According to Gonder, chimpanzees are threatened by the loss of their habitat to farming and logging. They are hunted for their meat and live chimpanzees are traded on the black market. "Their population numbers have plummeted by over 75 percent in just a half century. Only about 150,000 chimpanzees remain in Africa today," said Gonder.
The project will provide workshops for young African scientists, advanced graduate students and post-docs, with the goal of helping U.S. and African students and scientists develop research networks to address conservation issues using a variety of new technologies. Workshops will be offered by scientists on the project and by project partners working with the Committee on the Advancement of Women Chemists (COACh), an organization that provides mentoring and support to women scientists worldwide.

DIA hit 72 degrees during the middle of the afternoon Wednesday. This just below the record of 73 degrees set in 1974.
Cooler air and cloudier skies arrived on the Front Range Thanksgiving morning. Even with the cold air there was no rain or snow to be had.
The northeastern plains suffered through a day with very gusty winds from 20 to 40 mph. Those gusts will dramatically decrease by Friday morning..
Dry weather is anticipated in the mountains for the weekend so Thanksgiving skiers will have to depend on man-made snow to keep conditions in shape.
Saturday will be very warm across the state with slightly cooler readings Sunday. The next shot of cold air for the Front Range will be Monday.

Established in 1965, Central College Abroad is a nationally recognized study abroad
provider attracting students from across the United States. Colleges and universities choose Central College Abroad to offer rich global opportunities for their students. International educators tell us that Central College's programs provide their students stronger academics and more opportunities for cultural integration. Students tell us they benefit from our personalized approach and continual exposure to the local culture.
Central offers distinctive programs in eight locations worldwide, including semester, year-long and summer options, and we seek to shape students' global perspective by integrating the areas of academic study and experiential learning, as highlighted by our hybrid program model:
The hybrid model
Central College Abroad combines the best of both worlds -- our own courses with qualified faculty AND opportunities to enroll at local institutions. This allows for more integration into the international culture and more support from the resident staff than others can provide. Research shows that hybrid model participants develop a greater interest in the host culture than participants in a direct enroll program. The benefits of this model are significant and include:
.Academic quality assurance
Central College Abroad's strong academic foundation comes from being a part of Central College, a well-respected,
private liberal arts college in Pella, Iowa.
From our mission to the daily operations of each program site, Central College Abroad is woven into the academic rigor, tradition and vision of Central College. Each component of our program is carefully reviewed by an academic body on Central's campus:
Central College Abroad also maintains a commitment to ongoing assessment through on-site program reviews, evaluations and assessment of student development using the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI), a 64-item survey that measures how a student thinks, views herself as a person with a cultural heritage, and relates to others from other cultures, backgrounds and values. The GPI is given to students when they arrive on-site and again at the end of the term. Partner institutions have access to data from each program. More information about the GPI can be found at gpi.central.edu.
Mission statement
Central College Abroad fosters cross-cultural appreciation and foreign language development through high quality study abroad programs. Because study abroad is integral to an undergraduate education in an increasingly global society, Central College Abroad is committed to providing experientially and culturally intentional, tailored programs with personalized service to a wide range of students and institutions.

Kentucky found itself leading 33-24 at halftime by shooting 48.3 percent from
the floor and outrebounding Alabama, 22-11. The Tide made less than 36 percent
of their field goal attempts in the half.
Alabama continued to struggle from the field after intermission (.379), but
the Wildcats were ice-cold as well, shooting just 8-of-27 (.296). The Tide
took the lead for good, 40-38, on an Andrew Steele layup with less than 10
minutes remaining, and while UK got its deficit back to one on a few
occasions, Alabama closed the game out by going 6-of-8 from the foul line in
the final 30 seconds.
The Tide shot 15-of-21 from the foul line on the night and committed just six
turnovers, while the Wildcats where a mere 6-of-11 from the stripe with 13

Feds Formally Delay ICD-10 Deadline
The federal government formally delayed the compliance date for new codes used by healthcare providers to classify diseases and health problems until October 1, 2014.
The federal government formally delayed for one year the compliance date for new codes used by healthcare providers to classify diseases and health problems, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reported August 24. The codes are known as the "International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition" or ICD-10.
The new compliance date is October 1, 2014, which is pushed back from October 1, 2013.
Staffing firms often supply healthcare information management workers who deal in the codes to organizations in the healthcare industry.
The delay won't impact planning and implementation efforts at most healthcare professional organizations, Kforce Healthcare Solutions reported in June.

One balmy afternoon back in the mid-to-late-'90s, Q-Tip likely lost a beat tape he was hawking around. This probably happened while he was on his way over to his new pal Jay Dee's house, wherein the two would sit around, sip chamomile tea and grumble about Phife's contribution to A Tribe Called Quest's faltering output. Tip and Dilla would do this while listening to a soundtrack of their own making: clipped beats, noodling jazz-style piano lines, and a vibe you might kindly call "coffee-shop-nausea." Somewhere along the line though, it seems that this mythical beat tape fell into the hands of Blu and Exile, who've used that formula to cut an album more likely to cause narcoleptic head nodding with lofty hopes of cerebral introspection.
Opener, "A Letter," sets the tone of Give Me Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them - or G.M.F.W.I.C.S.S.T. as the hip kids on the message boards are most definitely calling it - and it's one the 17-track project never recovers from. The listening experience is laid back and cosy, but it never sparks into life like the greater whole of the "experimental" Hip Hop catalog Blu has provided in recent years. By the time you've hit "Ease Your Mind" (another mid-tempo, broadly jazzy production) and "Maybe One Day" (yup, another dose of Blu's daily witticisms about the evils of money), the only expectation drummed up is that somewhere, at some point in the album, something ear-rattling surely must happen. But it doesn't. Instead, the songs are content to meander on, unaware of the peaks and valleys that imbue an album with its momentum.
As the closing track, "Cent From Heaven," winds up, you're left with the impression that Blu and Exile have largely spent the recording process treading water. For the Blu and Exile aficionado, this is all both expected and welcomed. However, for the occasional ambient Rap fan, there's nothing to startle about the music or the lyrics and there's little that isn't coated with a whiff of having heard it all before. Blu and Exile are without doubt a couple of super-talented Rap chaps, but they need to step out of their snug comfort zone - and sharply.

The TV channel, Telecinco, has found itself in hot water- or perhaps chocolate – after a contestant complained of being denigrated on one of its reality shows, Campamento de Verano, a cringeworthy cross between Big Brother and I'm a Celebrity. On the show a clutch of male and female contestants are thrown together for several weeks in Spain's Sierra de Gredos regional park in the guise of explorers and given kitsch uniforms and survival kits. Similarly to other such programmes the contestants are made to carry out various tasks and trials, receiving forfeits if they fail to make the grade.
As a penalty for a misdemeanour on the show Noemí Merino, a previous contestant of Gran Hermano, the Spanish version of Big Brother, was forced to strip down to her bikini whereupon a male presenter showered her with liquid chocolate from a watering can. Other contestants were jokingly encouraged… Read more

In California? I guess if you order the NHL Package you should get the Philly Broadcast, that is what I love about Directv they give you both Teams Broadcast, but living in Philly every time the Rangers play the Flyers it's Blackout on NHL Package
Incorrect. When the Flyers play we get one broadcast and that's the other team's. Only exception is when the other team is not televising. On top of that, if it's a Canadian team, we almost always wind up with a standard def broadcast.

AKRON -- 40 years and still screaming.
Since its doors first creaked open in 1974, millions of people have braved the three floors of fright inside Akron's Haunted Schoolhouse.
PHOTOS | Haunted Schoolhouse celebrates 40 years of screams
But the monsters aren't only spending the 2013 Halloween season celebrating their 40-year milestone, they are also remembering the life of the man who started it all.
GUIDE | Halloween 2013
Don Johns, the owner and creator of the Schoolhouse and neighboring Haunted Laboratory, passed away after a brief illness in May.
Although he is gone, his spirit lives on throughout the haunted attractions.
PHOTOS | Inside Akron's Haunted Laboratory 2013
The current staff has scattered symbols of his memory throughout both haunted houses.
Flowers from his funeral are discretely placed in some of his favorite scenes.
His portrait hangs in a creepy library scene at the Laboratory.
His well-known saying, "Oh, geez" still echoes through the dark hallways every night by his longtime employees.
Keeping the tradition alive, his wife Cindy Johns is proud to dedicate this season in his honor.
The Haunted Schoolhouse is just one of three haunted attractions in the United States that have been open for 40 years -- and it's the only one to do so consecutively using the same building.
It features three floors of classic frights including a slew of new scares for 2013.
Before it became an annual autumn event, the Haunted Schoolhouse was actually a school building -- the Thomastown Elementary School, which was constructed in 1921.
In 1981, the four-story Guggenheim Airship Institute went up for sale, which the Johns family immediately purchased and transformed into the Haunted Laboratory.
The Haunted Laboratory puts scream seekers face-to-face with experiments that have gone terribly wrong. There's a twisted tunnel that will leave your head spinning, eye-popping 3-D effects and a pair of 10-foot tall Tesla coils that each zap the sky with 1.5 million volts of electricity.
The Schoolhouse and Laboratory have been haunting the top of the hill at 1300 Triplett Blvd. ever since.
Throughout recent years, the Schoolhouse and Laboratory have earned national recognition with several awards from AOL, Fangoria Magazine, HauntWorld Magazine and CityBlood.com. Most recently, HauntWorld named the attractions as two of America's most influential haunted attractions in the industry.
The Haunted Schoolhouse and Laboratory are now open every Thursday through Sunday until Saturday, Nov. 2.

Op-ed columns on the Cobb County disclaimer
A trio of op-ed columns greeted the January 13, 2005, ruling in Selman et al. v. Cobb County School District et al., in which U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper deemed that the evolution disclaimer required in the Cobb County School District violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Although the board decided (on January 17) to appeal the decision to the 11th U.S. District Court of Appeals, the discussions in these columns are still worthwhile and timely. And a humor column in Scientific American looks on the lighter side.
"Stealth attack on evolution" in Time
Contained in the January 31, 2005, issue of Time magazine is "Stealth attack on evolution," by Michael D. Lemonick, Noah Isackson, and Jeffrey Ressner.
Editorials endorsing evolution education
Astute analyses of anti-evolutionist tactics appeared in editorials in The New York Times on January 23 and the Washington Post on January 24.
Roland Mushat Frye dies
The eminent scholar Roland Mushat Frye died on January 20, 2005, at the age of 83, in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1922, Frye earned three degrees, including his Ph.D., from Princeton University. He served in the United States Army during World War II and was awarded the Bronze Star. After the war, he taught at Emory University and was a research professor in residence at the Folger Shakespeare Library before settling at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was the Felix E. Schelling Professor of English Literature until retiring in 1983.
Cobb County to Appeal Selman Verdict
On January 17, 2005, the Cobb County School Board voted 5-2 to appeal the ruling in Selman et al. v. Cobb County School District et al., which ordered the removal of evolution disclaimers from the school district's textbooks. Announcing the decision, Kathie Johnstone, chair of the board, described Judge Clarence Cooper's ruling as an "unnecessary judicial intrusion into local control of schools."

|Goldenstein ends 28-year tenure as Holyoke Credit Union president
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
|Wednesday, 10 April 2013 11:54
After serving as the Holyoke Community Federal Credit Union president for the better part of three decades, Ron Goldenstein officially clocked out for the last time Friday, March 29 at 5 p.m. and is looking forward to the change of pace retirement will offer.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed working for the credit union," Goldenstein said. "I have developed close friendships with other employees I have worked with over the years and I have grown and learned a lot in the past 28 years that will benefit me in the future with whatever I do."
Past health problems led to the decision for Goldenstein. In 2011 he had a mild heart attack. It was at that time it was discovered that he had cancer as well. He underwent surgery and then had five months of chemotherapy.
"I came back to work and just didn't have the drive, enthusiasm and coping abilities to continue to do my job the way it needed to be done," Goldenstein said.
In the past 28 years Goldenstein has seen the credit union go through a number of changes. When he started in 1985 it was just him and vice president Dolores Haskell.
Now the credit union boasts 11 employees, seven in Holyoke and four at the Imperial, Neb. branch office, which was opened 14 years ago. Assets have also risen from $4 million to $32 million.

Haskell has stepped in as the new president of the credit union. She began working at the credit union five years before Goldenstein as a teller and says he will be sorely missed.
"My early years weren't the best in the world because I didn't have Ron as a manager," Haskell said. "Not to have him here will be a change, for sure. We'll miss him."
Goldenstein isn't planning to take much of a break as he enters retirement, however. He is using the time off to start up a landscape and design business.
"I love to work outside. That is one thing that I have missed," Goldenstein said. "I love to be outside with the fresh air, sunshine and the physical work."
He noted that he has always enjoyed yardwork and gardening, but the passion really grew when he began doing work on his own house four years ago.
He also expressed an interest in possibly finding work as a bartender.
"I just want to do something totally different than what I have been doing," Goldenstein explained. "I don't want to do what I have been doing for the past 30 years."
Although he laughs as he estimates that he may be putting in longer hours in retirement than he did while at the credit union, Goldenstein is looking forward to playing some golf and riding his bike more in his free time. He will also be able to spend more time with his mother.
For landscaping and design needs, Goldenstein can be reached at 854-2140 or at 580-3109.

Associated Press reporters David Guttenfelder and Jean Lee have been posting photos and videos from inside North Korea on their Instagram feeds. This is the first time anyone has posted on Instagram from North Korea, and the immediacy of their updates lends a new perspective to our understanding of the secretive nation.
Earlier this year, North Korea began allowing foreigners access to its mobile Internet service, Koryolink. While foreign visitors can use the pricey 3G service to tweet and upload photos, North Korean citizens are restricted to voice calls.
Guttenfelder writes, "On Jan. 18, 2013, foreigners were allowed for the first time to bring mobile phones into North Korea. And this week the local service provider, Koryolink, is allowing foreigners to access the Internet on a data capable 3G connection on our mobile phones. In the past I could post geolocated phone photos to my Instagram feed by turning my online laptop into a hotspot to link my iPhone or iPod touch by wifi. But, today I'm posting this directly from my phone while riding in the back of a van in #Pyongyang. The window on to North Korea has opened another crack. Meanwhile, for Koreans here who will not have access to the same service, the window remains shut."
Many of the shots capture rehearsals of the Arirang Mass Games as North Korea prepares for the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the July 27 armistice that ended the Korean War. But there are also glimpses of daily life and commercial offerings in addition to images of propaganda.
Top image: "Korean War veterans enter a cemetery for their deceased fellow war veterans in #Pyongyang."
A view of Pyongyang from Guttenfelder's hotel.
"The yet to be completed 105-story pyramid shaped Ryugyong Hotel can be seen from about anywhere you stand in Pyongyang. The North Koreans started building it around 1987."
"DPRK in B&W. North Korean farmers tend fields near #Kaesong."
"North Korean veterans of the Korean War gather together in a stadium in #pyongyang before a mass 'dance party'."
"Inside the new Korean War museum on #Pyongyang, tiny models in a glass case depict U.S. Army Major General William F. Dean, the highest ranking American captured during the Korean War."
"A North Korean communal farm seen from the air."
"North Koreans in a passing car this morning in #Pyongyang."
"#NKorean schoolgirls sneaking a moment from a political ceremony to share a laugh. Their haircuts and school uniforms remind me of what my mother wore as a schoolgirl in Seoul in the late 1950s. Last month,#Pyongyang, #DPRK."

The Biggest Loser – David Gets the Vote
October 30, 2007 11:57 PM by Joe Blackmon
Written by Jennifer Brown. The players struggle with the emotional fallout of Neil's weight gain. We join the teams as they mope back into the house after Neil's
sabotage. Most everyone's in tears and Neil's all but ostracized. Seems
not much of anybody can make themselves okay with what he did
(purposefully gaining 17 pounds in a strategic move last week). "It was
to maliciously send someone home," Neil's teammate, Isabeau says, her
disgust echoed throughout the house. "I hope he gets what's coming to
him," Julie adds. Kae's tearful, packing her things, threatening to go
home, Hollie's "so disappointed in so many people here," yet Neil is
kicked back on his bed feeling bad, but not like he's done anything
wrong. To him, the gain was about strategy, and isn't half of this game
about strategy?
The trainers are having to work overtime to fix this mess. Bob tries to pump up Kae, who tells him she almost ditched Loser the night before, reminding her, "Remember the good person you are. This doesn't define you." Jillian, too, is trying to rally her team, in her tough-love Jillian way. "No pouting, no sulking!" she commands, but she may be too late – they look both pouty and sulky already. It gets worse when Amy pulls Jillian aside and admits to her that she'd given in to pressure by Neil to throw the last weigh-in. Jillian looks both ticked off and mind-blown by the new level the game has taken. She grabs Amy's hand and helps her remember why she's at the campus in the first place. "Get out of the game!" she says. Only Kim seems to be having a good day, just thrilled that the drama is not touching her team. Her team is focused and energetic, hitting the gym without tears and backbiting. She hopes this means a good week is ahead.
Soon it's Challenge time and the teams show up on the beach for Challenge: Endurance. They are confronted with three giant see-saws, where they'll have to sit and hold up their own weight. The winning team, Alison tells them, will get the contents of the little wooden box in her hand – contents that will change the course of the game.
The teams sit on their see-saws and sweat in the sun as they struggle to hold up their own weight. The first team to lose its grip is Neil and Isabeau; they plummet into the water. Amy tries to rally her team as they begin to struggle, but it doesn't work. They, too, fall in, leaving Nicole, Bryan, and Ryan as the winners! Much cheering ensues (two blue team members have won a challenge at last!), and the winners collect their box, which holds a pass that allows each member of the team to have a vote in the next elimination (rather than one vote for the whole team). This is a huge advantage, as there are only 5 votes total in the next elimination and the winning team will cast three of them! There's a catch, though – the winning team will have to stay above the yellow line to use the pass. Never was the last-chance workout so important.
But first, Bob spends a little alone time, stretching and meditating with Kae, who's still struggling with her emotions. "Kae is breaking records in this house and the pressure it's putting on both of us is tremendous," Bob says.
The teams hit the gym for their last-chance workout, and everyone's hitting it hard. Bob's going especially hard on Neil, not giving him an inch of slack. Everyone works hard today and everyone seems to be feeling confident.
Night falls and it's weigh-in time. Alison tells the teams that they have, so far, lost an incredible combined 750+ pounds (woot! woot!), and then begins calling teams to the scale.
Neil's up first, hat in hand. He steps on the scale and finds that he's lost a whopping 33 pounds this week! There are no cheers, no applause. In fact, several people look quite disgusted. Neil tells them all that he's had a revelation – that he's sorry and that he understands that the only way to win is by beating the scale. "Saying sorry doesn't always fix it," Hollie tells the camera. Neil's going to have to keep proving himself, it looks like. Isabeau steps up next, only to find that she hasn't lost a single pound this week. She doesn't appear too upset about it. "It's only fair that [Neil] saved me this week," she says.
One by one the others are called up, and everyone else has lost this week. Some, like Nicole (-9) and Julie (-6), are amazed and excited by their loss and jump up and down. Others, such as Kae (-6), have a difficult time getting excited, as they fear falling behind the yellow line. In the end it's Hollie, David, and Kae who fall below the line, giving the challenge winners use of the handy pass-in-a-box, and landing themselves in the hot seat in the elimination room.
In the elimination room, Neil eats a little more crow and apologizes once again for what he did last week, and then the voting commences. Isabeau and Neil, citing alliances with other players, vote for David. So does Team Bill, Julie, and Amy. Bryan, however, votes for Kae, remarking that his choice was "totally a personal decision", taking the heat off of David for a moment. In the end, however, it's Nicole's vote, which she casts tearfully, saying her reasoning was that she thought the person she was voting for would be okay at home, that gives someone the boot. She reveals her vote,for David.
David bursts into tears and there's not a dry eye in the room (including in my living room, I might add). He's got lots of inspirational things to say to the other players, and leaves, saying, "I'm not going to leave with my head down. I've got too much to be proud of."
We get to see David show up at home for the first time, right smack in the middle of a birthday party. There are screams and tears, David's wife all but overwhelmed, telling him over and over again how great he looks.
Today David has lost 105lbs total and looks but a shadow of his former self. "The only way to get there," he tells us, "is hard work."
Next on The Biggest Loser: Neil surprises everyone again. The campus goes green.

I couldn't bare but to cry when I saw that Dave's team was up for elimination, no thanks to Neil. Dave deserved to stay and play fair like the rest of the guys. What Neil did was a minipulation and he should have been eliminated. This type of manipulation should not be allowed.

I think this show goes WAY to far in the wrong direction! The voting plays with these peoples lifes! It should not be formated like those other reality shows – but the least to lose weight by body mass should leave. Neil has no bussiness being on the show to begin with.

2001 Hot Rod Virtual Power Tour - Day Six, May 8Written by on May 1, 2001 Exclusive Daily Updates From The Road. Tulsa, OK to Amarillo, TX: A Gas Price Fix, Elk City Hospitality, and the Attack of the Moth Killers
At our first gas stop on the way to Amarillo we came up with a brilliant way to stop the escalating cost of fuel. Okay, maybe it's not a permanent fix, but sending Jeff Koch up the ladder to adjust the gas station's price sign while supposedly shooting pictures of the Power Tour seemed like a good idea at the time. We heard lots of encouragement from onlookers, but this approach didn't seem to hold much water with the station's owner. Oh well, you can't blame us for trying.
Elk City was a bittersweet experience for some veteran Power Tourers, because they said it was the best overnight stop of the entire Tour last year. The local Chamber of Commerce (www.elkcitychamber.com) seemed to miss us a lot as well, and provided a free chili dog lunch and a drawing for a free motel room on next year's Tour. We hope that we can spend more time there next year and enjoy the town's numerous attractions and pleasant park (see www.elkcitychamber.com).
In contrast to the gnarly and dilapidated city streets of Detroit, the freeways on this portion of the Tour were smooth, scenic ribbons stretching straight for the horizon--what a place to drop the hammer! Winding out our engines didn't bode well for the swarms of moths we encountered, though, and nearly all of the rods arrived in Amarillo with splattered windshields and moth wings stuck to their grilles. It seemed like everybody spent most of their time in Amarillo cleaning off their cars. We overheard one Tourer quip: "Well, if the moths become extinct, we'll know what happened to 'em."
As for Amarillo, what the city may lack in atmosphere compared with our other stops was more than made up for by sheer enthusiasm. The town turned out in droves, and we received the most TV and radio coverage thus far. We continue to be astonished by the level of support and attention we receive as we head west. Next stop: Commanche country and Albuquerque, New Mexico

We have one ZCS network edition server, with a number of users that are no longer with the company, but their e-mail must be maintained. Since I can find no way to delete a user account, but also maintain their e-mail store, is it possible to move users and their e-mail store from the network edition server to a new instance/server of the open source ZCS?
By removing the users from the network edition server, we do not have to regularly increase the number of licensed users and we do not have to continue to backup these users as part of the regular backups -- they only really need to be backed up once.

More and more I am using a larger pack with less gear for packing into it those day long trips that I don't plan on staying the night in the woods. But, with the larger pack I am able to take more essentials with me so that if things go south I have what I need to spend the night under the stars.

Germany's Federal Agency for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief recommends 14 days of emergency supplies
August 02, 2013
Mistrust in a turnaround in energy policy is growing. Survivalists, companies and anxious citizens are already preparing for the need in an emergency to survive without electricity. What to do if there is in fact no electricity? The German minister of the interior overseeing the Federal Agency for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief recommends every citizen have 14 days of basic food supplies that keep without freezing. The Survival Packs from Emergency Food guarantee optimal nutrition in an emergency. The selection and combination of the packs offered was decided on based on strict nutritional science. The focus is put on a balanced combination of vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, fats and fibers necessary for survival. For our Emergency Food, we use only the highest quality dried and freeze-dried specialty foods. The meals are mild and are also especially suited for small children and older persons. As of fall 2013, we will also offer a 7 Days Food Package in addition to the current Survival Packs for 30 or 90 days or 12 months.

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. -- The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office is investigating a body found in a burned vehicle near County Road 13 and Cowpen Branch Road, according to SJCSO Commander Chuck Mulligan.
The St. Johns County Fire Rescue responded to the incident when a passerby found the vehicle smoldering on the dirt road; however the vehicle was completely burned.
The area the vehicle was found and the fire condition led the area to be treated as a crime scene, the report said. The vehicle has been transported to a dry storage area for further investigation.
A SJCSO press release later detailed human remains had been found in the trunk. The district medical examiner's office determined that the remains are human.

Welcome, yay for delurking and with a tut no less! Have some rep
I've lurked on the tutorial forums for a while, learning the tricks of the trade, and I figured I should try and give something back.
I really like the old-school style maps using not-to-scale graphical representations of objects of interest. I've adapted a number of the ideas I learned on these forums to develop a quick and easy technique for making this style map in my open source graphics software of choice, the GIMP. I wrote up a tutorial and attached it as a PDF. Running through the tutorial should take 1-2 hours (depending on your familiarity with the program) and you'll wind up with a map like the Sample map attached. Once you've got your brushes made and the technique down, you can churn out maps very quickly - the Sample map took me 15 minutes to make from a blank canvas. If you spend more time you can make much nicer maps using the same techniques.
The tutorial is written so someone completely new to GIMP can start using it to make maps. A more experienced user can easily get by with just skimming the highlights. The most important portion is the creation of the animated brushes and correctly tuning their spacing.
A caveat - these maps are not (nor are they meant to be) strictly geographically accurate. You'll notice the sample map doesn't have so much as a compass rose, let alone a scale bar. They're meant to give a general representation of an area. This is sufficient for some purposes and not for others. I use them as RPG handouts to give players an idea of their immediate area. It is of course not difficult to adapt these techniques towards the production of more accurate maps.

Hi, All.
darklingrisen's tutorial is now linked in the Tutorials in PDF Format thread.
It can be found on Page 1, in the GIMP-RELATED TUTORIALS section of Post 2.
In the end you will see, you is you and me is me.

I missed this one. Great tutorial Darlklin and detailed enough so that someone new to Gimp and pick it up and go with it. I'll be adding this one to the quick start mapping guide.
Thanks and repped!

Thanks for the support, everyone.
Tigon, I agree - animated brushes should make that map go much faster. I'd also provide some more detailed advice, but I gather a WIP thread is the place for such discussion.
Aye, been a bit busy and away from the home laptop (where I'm doing the work). Will start a WIP thread this evening hopefully. Thanks for the pointers Darkling, much appreciated, and I look forward to yours jfrazierjr.
Great tutorial! You're is the first tutorial that I have followed from this site. Been lurking here for a while as well
This is what I made...
Very nice tutorial, perfect for a new guy like me. I have one question though : How do I color my houses all in one color? I tried in 2 separate maps to paint them like i paint mountains sides and roads, but using the same procedure i get a round brush color blop. I fill them with the bucket tool but its not colored the same, there remain white spots.
Also wanted to ask you what is the easiest method of making coastlines and maybe a patterned water effect in this style of map making.
Thank you again for the great tutorial!
