In Chad: the outbreak that was first detected in 2010 continued into its third year in 2012; 10 new indigenous cases were reported from 9 villages of 7 districts in 4/24 regions. As a result, Chad was reclassified as a country endemic for the disease. Only 2 of the villages (Mossio-Massa and Akoum- Mabaye) that notified a case in 2012 had also reported a case in 2011; this is similar to the situation in 2011 when only 1 case in 1 locality (Camp-Sara) in 2011 was possibly linked with a case reported in Matassi village in 2010.
None of the 30 cases reported in 2010, 2011 and 2012 had a history of travel out of Chad.
Of the 30 cases reported in 2010, 2011 and 2012 specimens from 6 cases, 10 cases and 4 cases respectively were confirmed positive for Dracunculus medinensis by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research, Training and Eradication of Dracunculiasis at the United States of America Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by parasitological examination and/or molecular testing.
As of the end of 2012, 192 countries, territories and areas have been certified free of dracunculiasis transmission. Fourteen countries remain to be certified, of which 4 countries (Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia and South Africa) have no recent history of dracunculiasis. The 10 other countries are either endemic-Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, and South Sudan or in pre certification phase -Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Niger, and Sudan.
The last stage of the programme is the most difficult; it requires more concentrated and focused efforts on surveillance, not only in endemic areas but also in areas free of transmission but at risk of importation from endemic areas.

Throw the Book At Home Invaders
March 25, 2013
We cannot imagine the fear most people would experience if, upon waking in the middle of the night, they believed intruders were in their home....
Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.

I think that the use of the term "home invasion" to describe a burglary is very misleading. Nationwide, a home invasion involves armed perps bursting into an occupied residence and using threats and violence to obtain money...in effect, an aggravated robbery. In WV, a Judge can throwe the book at such culprits. A set sentence of at least 10 years, with no upper limit. However, in the case of a burglar who breaks into a home wityhout physically confronting the occupants can only recieve a sentence of one to ten years or one to fifteen years,depending on the circumstances, with the date of release to be determined by the Parole Board.

I don't understand why the man did not call the police and called his nephew. Does Moundsville not have 911?
Of course drug abuse has increased the crime nationwide, but how much has violent crime really increased with the new drugs people are using and prescription drug abuse? What are the real facts?
There are several unsolved murders many years ago in this area that were written about in NR article where retired law enforcement are working cases. Information super highway makes them so much more apparant, but is it really that much worse? I know there are more armed robberies/attempts locally, everything from pharmacies to pizza joints, but there has always been home invasion. Seems like more while people are home though. Yep, throw book at them, but jails are full, and with too many inmates of non violent crimes. Poor man must have been scared to death.

Panacea, FL-November 16, 2012
The U.S. Government won a multi-billion dollar settlement against British Petroleum this week. But a local business owner says he and others like him are still waiting for relief.
Crum's Mini Mall sits along the Coastal Highway in Panacea. It is a staple for fishermen in need of rods, bait or tackle. But like many shops along the Gulf Coast it's still reeling from the effects of the 2010 B.P. Oil Spill.
"That's the problem we are having today. We can't recover. We have the pressure from the down-turned economy with an extra two, three, four hundred percent participants and we are still trying to overcome that over harvested area," says Ronald Crum , owner of Crum's Mini Mall.
The U.S. Government won a $4.5 billion dollar settlement against B.P. But that settlement does not include any of the billions of dollars in claims from fishermen and business owners. It's left many of them feeling frustrated.
Fishermen and business owners like Crum say they're still waiting on money from the RESTORE Act which goes towards restoration efforts along the coast. Wakulla could potentially see anywheres between $10-$20 million dollars from the RESTORE Act. But when the County will see that money is unclear.
Crum says when the money does come, he hopes it's spent on revitalizing the oyster beds that are critical to the survival of coastal communities like Wakulla.
"Our destiny is in our hands. If this money comes, we don't know yet, if we use the money wisely, the people will have jobs," says Crum.
As for the money awarded to the U.S. Goverment, that settlement must still be approved by a federal judge.

How should I decide what size to make my swap on a new Linux machine (Debian) with 2-4 GB of RAM? Do I really need swap space?
There are lots of ways you can figure out how much swap use in a machine. Common suggestions use formulas based on RAM such as 2 x RAM, 1.5 x RAM, 1 x RAM, .75 x RAM, and .5 x RAM. Many times the formulas are varied depending on the amount of RAM (so a box with 1GB of RAM might use 2 x RAM swap (2GB), while a box with 16GB of ram might use .5 x RAM swap (8GB).
Another thing to consider is what the box will be used for. If you're going to have a huge number of concurrently running processes running on the box, but a significant number of them will be idle for periods of time, then adding extra swap makes sense. If you're going to be running a small number of critical processes, then adding extra swap makes sense (this might seem counter-intuitive, but I'll explain in a minute). If you're running a box as a desktop, then adding extra swap makes sense.
As for whether you should include swap, yes, you should. You should always include swap space unless you really know what you're doing, and you really have a good reason for it.
See, the way the Linux kernel works, swap isn't only used when you have exhausted all physical memory. The Linux kernel will take applications that are not active (sleeping) and after a period of time, move the application to swap from real memory. The result is that when you need that application, there will be a momentary delay (usually just a second or two) while the application's memory is read back from swap to RAM. And this is usually a good thing.
This allows you to put inactive applications to "sleep", giving your active applications access to additional RAM. Additionally, Linux will use any available (unallocated) RAM on a machine as disk cache, making most (slow) disk activity faster and more responsive. Swapping out inactive processes gives you more disk cache and makes your machine overall faster.
Lastly, let's face it, disk space is cheap. Really cheap. There's really no good reason at all not to swipe a (relatively) small chunk of space for swap. If I were running with 2GB - 4GB of RAM in a machine, I'd probably setup my swap space to be at least equal to the RAM. If it were less than 2GB of RAM, then I'd still go with at least 2GB of swap.
UPDATE: As an excellent comment mentioned (and I forgot to include), if you're running a laptop or a desktop that you might want to put in 'hibernate' mode (Suspend to Disk), then you always want at least as much swap as you have memory. The swap space will be used to store the contents of the RAM in the computer while it 'sleeps'.
Red Hat recommends the following formula for servers with lots of ram:
If your system has 1 GB ram, your swap would be 2 GB, for 16 GB it would be 18 GB.
Late answer, and I think this was pretty much covered in the selected answer, but there is some good and easily digestible info in the answer provided by @ssapkota here (copy/pasted below).
Here's a very good recommendation from RedHat:Recommended System Swap Space
An excerpt from the same link:
Current table (as of December 2012):
Original table:
It depends quite a bit on what you're doing with it. With the appropriate workload, you don't actually need any swap space, whether you have 16MB or 16384MB of RAM; indeed most embedded Linux devices run without any (what would they swap to?)
Considering RAM prices, you're probably not going to use swap for active computation. So, what's left?
(2) and (3) heavily depend on workload. On my desktops, I can easily use 4GB+ on (2), from leaving vims, xterms, etc. running on other desktops.
On most of the servers I run, there is hardly ever anything swapped out and 1–2GB of swap (regardless of RAM amount) seems OK.
Well, it depends on what services and applications you plan to run. You can watch your memory usage with free -m and adjust your swap partition accordingly over time.
Here's an interesting discussion on the subject. Personally (and after reading that discussion) I'd still leave about 1 GB for swap.
I can't speak to Debian directly, but I know that when you get up above 2 GB of RAM, the original 2xRAM equation changes, usually down to 1xRAM. I think once you hit 16 GB RAM the suggestion lowers again to .75xRAM.
Of course, I found this true for Solaris, and is actually the metric used for Oracle installations, so YMMV depending on the apps you're going to be running on there.
I always make as much swap (at least) as RAM. Just in case I want to hibernate the machine some day. Can work with less, but could as well not.
HDD space is cheap this days, therefore I don't hesitate giving away swap space.
Swap space can serve as "padding" when you would otherwise run out of memory immediately.
When a process consumes all of the available RAM and then some the machine will run very slowly, but you will usually be able to recover. It will also be easier to see which process is causing the problem.
Over the years I have followed the rule that for Windows machines you have as much swap as you have RAM...On Novell we would tune swap higher if we had more printers...For linux the rule and practice for me has been 1GB swap for every 2GB RAM you have. And you place it at the front of the disk so it is accessed quicker.
I create 1GB swap and purchase more RAM the second its being used. You don't really need swap on modern computers, RAM is so cheap.
What are you using the system for? Personally I don't use any swap. If anything use a token 512MB or something just so things can get put to disk if resident but inactive for long periods.
I just use a small token swap (usually 256 MB, but I have even done 64 MB) because configuring a system with zero swap needs special configuration.
Disk space is cheap, but slooooooooow. As soon as the system starts swapping, performance is zero. And RAM is no longer so expensive.
Trust me, buy a slightly slower processor and buy more RAM. 2.8 GHz instead of 3.0 GHz will save you enough money to buy another 2 GB RAM, at least.

|Holocaust survivor to speak to students, community Thursday
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
A gripping tale of survival is in store for area residents today, Thursday, March 19 as Benny Hochman, 85, will share his story of surviving the Holocaust.
The program is scheduled in the HHS auditorium from 2-3:30 p.m. as a school assembly that the community is invited to as well.
Holyoke VFW is sponsoring the assembly and encourages the public to attend.
VFW Quartermaster Steve Millage said he has been trying to arrange for Hochman, who lives in Sidney, Neb., to speak here for several months. Hochman called him early this week and said he could come Thursday, and the plans were set.
Hochman was born in Poland and was carted away in 1939 at the age of 16 to Auschwitz and then Buchenwald by the Nazis when they overran Poland.
Millage points out that since there are those who deny the Holocaust ever happened, he wants the local students to hear about it firsthand. "Genocide is nothing new and certainly nothing old as it is still going on today in Africa and the Arab world," said Millage.
Hochman, with the help of C.J. Cornelius, M.D., wrote a book "From Hell to Here," a World War II autobiography, which was first published in 2001.
At that time, he had told his story at 81 presentation sites in Nebraska, 16 in Colorado, 16 in South Dakota, six in Wyoming, three in Iowa, three in Minnesota, two in Utah and one each in Nevada, New Mexico and Missouri.
The Polish teenager survived the Nazi invasion and imprisonment and was rescued by and served with the U.S. Armed Forces in Germany. He was adopted by a Nebraska family and has been an inspiration for others, as well as an outstanding member of his community for well over 50 years.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The first step in getting out of a hole is to stop
The New York Giants have quietly done that and will now search for their third
straight win after a dismal 0-6 start as they begin a key stretch of three
consecutive home games against the Oakland Raiders.
The Giants allowed nearly 35 points per game during their worst start in 37
years, but the defense turned it around before the bye week by stymieing a
dismal Minnesota team, 23-7, and then topping NFC East-rival Philadelphia,
15-7, on the road.
Neither score in those two contests was allowed by Big Blue's defense.
"Are we back?" safety Antrel Rolle asked.
"We'll be back once we reach that postseason. That's when I'll say that we're
back. Right now we're grinding. We're pushing ahead and more importantly we're
staying together."
The postseason is still a long shot even in the lightly-regarded NFC East as
no 0-6 team in the Super Bowl era has ever rebounded to reach the playoffs.
New York remains in last place in the division and is 2 1/2 games south of
frontrunning Dallas heading into Week 10.
"All we can worry about is getting back to playing well and get on a hot
streak and start winning games," quarterback Eli Manning said. "It's all about
us. We can only control what we can do. If we are winning, we'll give
ourselves a shot."
Josh Brown kicked a career-high five goals in the City of Brotherly Love back
on Oct. 27 as the Giants shut down a punchless Eagles offense en route to the
15-7 victory at Lincoln Financial Field.
With rookie Matt Barkley pressed into quarterback duty for much of the game,
the Eagles mustered just 201 total yards and failed to produce an offensive
The Eagles' lone score came on a 2-yard fumble return by reserve linebacker
Najee Goode in the fourth quarter, the result of a bad snap that soared over
the head of New York punter Steve Weatherford.
Manning threw for 246 yards on 25-of-39 passing to help the Giants halt an
eight-game road losing streak. Victor Cruz contributed 86 yards on seven
catches, while New York's defense generated four sacks after amassing an
NFL-low six over the team's first seven outings.
"It's not always pretty, but nevertheless our defense played superbly," Giants
head coach Tom Coughlin remarked. "There is a lot to be said for the way we
are playing right now on defense."
The Raiders last opponent was also the Eagles in Week 9 but they faced a much
different version of the Birds as Nick Foles returned under center for the
first time in two weeks, and enjoyed his finest day as a professional.
The Arizona product shook off the effects of a concussion and tied an NFL
record by throwing seven touchdown passes, including four in the first half,
en route to a career-high 406 yards on 22-of-28 completions in Philadelphia's
49-20 rout of Oakland in an inter-conference clash.
Foles joined Joe Kapp, Sid Luckman, George Blanda, Y.A. Tittle, Peyton Manning
and former Eagles QB Adrian Burk for the honor.
Terrelle Pryor was 22-of-41 for 288 yards and a pair of interceptions before
bowing out late with a knee injury for the Raiders (3-5), who surrendered the
most points in one contest since a 55-20 drubbing at the hands of the Ravens
on Nov. 11, 2012.
"It's embarrassing," Pryor said. "I hate losing. It's not acceptable to me and
I don't like it. All the guys in here agree with me. We have to do something
about it instead of tanking it."
Matt McGloin ended up 7-of-15 for 87 yards in relief.
Oakland's scoring consisted of two Sebastian Janikowski field goals along with
an 8-yard TD run from Rashad Jennings and a late 2-yard score by Jeremy
Stewart. Jennings wound up with 102 yards on 15 carries and 74 yards on seven
The Raiders lead their all-time series with New York by a 7-4 margin but the
Giants won the last encounter, a 44-7 blowout in North Jersey back on Oct. 11,
Manning will be starting his 144th consecutive game, the longest active streak
by a signal caller in the NFL. His last effort against the Raiders was one of
his best as a pro, an efficient 8-of-10 performance or 173 yards with two TDs
and a perfect 158.3 passer rating. That of course is ironic because Oakland
allowed another perfect passer mark last week to Philadelphia's Foles in the
ugly 49-20 setback.
Manning, though, has been anything but perfect in 2013, completing only 55.7
percent of his passes with an NFL-worst 15 interceptions. If New York has any
intention of really making a run at the NFC East crown, the two-time Super
Bowl MVP has to start carrying his own water.
The fact that Oakland allowed 542 yards - the fourth-worst mark in franchise
history - against Philadelphia a week ago is an indication Manning will have
plenty of opportunities to make things happen down the field.
"They do a good job of mixing up different coverages and getting pressure on
the quarterback and doing a number of different looks," Manning said when
talking about the now-maligned Raiders defense.
In truth Oakland had been playing well on that side of the ball until Foles
lit them up, something head coach Dennis Allen hopes is an anomaly.
"There's no question there's a bad taste in our mouth right now," Allen said.
"But that one's over with. I don't know if we were reading our press clippings
or what, but the NFL is all about what have you done for me lately and what do
you do out there on Sunday."
Offensively the Raiders rely on Pryor and their running game, which ranks
first in the AFC at 147.8 yards per game.
Pryor, a first-year starter, is inconsistent and will turn it over but leads
all NFL quarterbacks with 485 rushing yards this season and needs just 45 more
to surpass Rich Gannon (529 in 2000) for the most ever by an Oakland signal
caller. He threw for a career-high in passing yards before leaving against the
Eagles and added 94 yards on the ground.
Pryor leads the NFL with 7.7 yards per rush and is adept at extending plays
and a threat to make a big splash with his arm or legs at any time.
Gap control and defensive discipline is key when combating Pryor and the read-
option. A balky knee, though, may slow Pryor a bit and help the Giants
corral him.
"Terrelle Pryor is a great quarterback, we just have to go out there and do
what we do best, stop this run," Giants end Jason Pierre-Paul said. "My big
boy (defensive tackle) Shaun Rogers is going to stop that run with me and
we're going to get it cracking. We need this win. We have to help ourselves,
we got ourselves in this hole."
The Giant winning streak strikes many as fool's gold but it should continue
here. Oakland has dropped 10 of 11 road games dating back to the start of last
season, including seven straight by an average of nearly 16 points per
"We're going to have a great preparation this week and hopefully we can go out
there and get our home crowd into the game quickly and play well," Manning

Hello. We recently upgraded a server from 7.2 to 8.02. Network edition with about 150 users. Needless to say the admin is not happy with the fact that the view mail button is missing. I see a lot of talk in the forums about the FOSS edition getting it re-enabled. However, I do not see any reference to the viewmail button working in the 8.0.2 network edition. I have tried the viewmail admin extension that is floating around here for version 8 (not 8.02...Not sure if it matters). Anyway, it does deploy as an admin extension but the viewmail button does not appear under the account maintenance. Rebooted the server and reloaded admin console. No love.
So is there any references to the network edition for the viewmail button? Does 8.0.3 bring it back.?
Thanks much for any assistance

I just switched to Zimbra and was quite surprised to see that my normal way of keeping track of birthdays does not work the way I was used to in other programs.
I normally store birthdays as yearly recurring events without an end date in my calender. As start day I use day the person was born including the right year in order to recognise "round" birthdays. Because many of my friends are above 30 this does not work in Zimbra out of the box. Even setting 100 yearly occurences does not work. It stops after 30 years.
Is there a way to change this behavior?
Otherwise I would set every birthday starting in the year 2000 an keep track of the real year in the contacts field tough this is not perfect for families where I normally store only a family contact. Doing it like this would force me to have a contact for each familiy member including children.

Singer Katy Perry celebrated her 29th birthday on Friday by performing some of her hit songs at a high school in Colorado.
The pop star arrived at Lakewood High School flanked by football players and sporting the school's cheerleading uniform, for the pep-rally style performance, which featured her hit singles Roar and Firework.
The 2,000 students won a competition Perry launched in September to create their own version of the video for "Roar."
She tells "Good Morning America," "So many different high schools came together and I was truly touched. Emotionally, I laughed, I cried. I was blown away by some of the creativity… We live in a time where I think where we are really distracted… Everyone came together and just made fantastic videos. School spirit still lives."
Perry was gifted with a letterman's jacket from students at the school and presented with a cake complete with a lion's head.

the Roguelike information resource that you can edit.
Roguelike events of 2015:
- 7DRL Challenge 2015
- IRDC 2015 - One left, Europe!
What is a Roguelike?
A Roguelike is usually described as a free turn-based computer game with a strong focus on intricate gameplay and replayability, and an abstract world representation using ASCII-based display, as opposed to 3D graphics. Of course, as with any genre, there are deviations from the norm.
Roguelikes allow the player an indefinite amount of time in which to make a move, making gameplay comparable more to chess than to reflex-based games like first-person shooters. Since graphics are limited (if not completely shunned), the player's imagination must come into play - gameplay is more like reading a book than watching a movie.
Of course, the best way to understand what Roguelikes are is to download and play one.
Many Roguelikes are freely available online. The most influential are known as the Major Roguelikes:
Before their rise in popularity in the late 80s and 90s, the genre was dominated by the Major Classic Roguelikes:
Since the control systems of these Roguelikes are geared towards "expert" players, the novice player may be interested in trying a 'lighter' game like some of the coffeebreak roguelikes or just dive in at the deep end and find a roguelike game to suit you.
Roguelike Community
There are several other important places in the roguelike community that you should consider visiting:
Featured Roguelike: ChessRogue
ChessRogue is what it says on the tin - a roguelike game modeled on chess. As white king you need to capture enemy pieces to gain their abilities. It is quite unforgiving, because a single misstep means game over. Your character is limited at first but becomes progressively able to execute more strategies. Early on it is good to wait for enemy pieces to come to you so that most of them will have restricted movement in tight spaces but later ChessRogue is better played very aggressively. Against pieces of many movement patterns meeting the fastest of them and capturing most before others arrive will let you avoid being cornered.
Extended mode features additional types of pieces to capture and some preset levels.

If you have some ideas for a new Roguelike and would like to give development a go (or are already a seasoned developer) the RogueBasin is here to help you expand the Roguelike genre. A complete list of articles is available, but here are some to get you started:
If you'd like to contribute to RogueBasin, simply create an account and log in. Feel very free to edit! We especially need more information added to the games pages and the lists - if you're a developer, consider updating your game's page, and making sure that it (and you) are included in the relevant lists.
If you're an experienced developer, consider writing articles about creating Roguelikes. There are many people new to Roguelike development, and they often need help. It's especially helpful to write articles about problems you have experienced yourself. Also you can add your name to the RGRD Wiki Project (directly, or by posting a message on rgrd saying how you want to participate). If someone sees a relevant post by you, they'll upload it to this wiki as an article.

Who is Hoppi??
Just play the game!Originally Posted by monty1978
CCS is a pschycopath at heart, he'd have to destroy Hoppi quickly before he sustained any damage to his precious looks that would drop him down 0.5 of a point.
Hoppi's hippy mop would be an obvious target for CCs to exploit and if any girls were watching he'd have to assert his alpha male authority.
But the highlight would be when CCS pulls the hidden screwdriver from his arse and uses his own USMC techniques.

Lesson learned from last year
MORGANTOWN - A rather familiar but almost forgotten subject came up several times Tuesday as Dana Holgorsen was answering questions at his weekly press conference.
For instance, the West Virginia coach was talking about the Texas secondary his team will face Saturday night when the No. 8 Mountaineers and No. 11 Longhorns match 4-0 records in Austin.
"The corners are good. They're fast and they can get in your face,'' Holgorsen said. "And [free safety Kenny] Vaccaro is really a third corner. What they do with him is what LSU did with that kid last year. They put him down in the slot where he can be disruptive.''
A few seconds later, Holgorsen raised the coverage issue again.
"It's going to be challenging to our receivers because they're going to have people in their grill for the first time all year,'' he said. "It's much what LSU did last year.''
Sensing a pattern here? Indeed, there are more than a few parallels between West Virginia's fifth game this season and the fourth a year ago.
No, the Longhorns are not quite as highly regarded as was LSU last season. The Tigers were, after all, ranked No. 2 in the country, soon to be No. 1 and playing in the national title game.
And that game was in Morgantown, not at a 100,000-seat hostile stadium.
But other similarities are striking, including the fact that the attention given both on a national level is rather astounding.
In Texas, once again West Virginia will be facing perhaps the most talented, physical and athletic defense it will see all season, five-star recruits being the rule rather than the exception.
The Longhorns make their hay offensively by running the football, just as LSU did. Texas, though, has a far better passing game.
And for the most part West Virginia handled all of that exceedingly well, making that LSU defense look almost pedestrian by gaining 533 yards. Consider that the Tigers began the season by giving up 335 yards to Oregon and ended it by surrendering 384 to Alabama. In between, no one else managed even 300 yards.
On the flip side, LSU's offense was held to fewer than the 366 yards it gained against WVU in only four of 12 regular season games. The Tigers did run for 186 yards, but only three teams held them to significantly less than that in 14 games.
So, all things considered, if West Virginia can just duplicate that performance against Texas, the Mountaineers should be fine come Saturday night. Well, fine except for the one variable that rendered meaningless all of those glowing statistics compiled against LSU.
And that's the one thing Holgorsen will be preaching to his players this week when he compares the two games.
"Four turnovers,'' Holgorsen said. "That's what we learned in that one.''
Indeed, that is the one thing that can kill any team and it might be the only thing that can derail this one, given the insane numbers put up by the offense. West Virginia has turned the ball over just once in four games this season, that by the reserves after the outcome of a game against Marshall had been long decided.
But consider this: In its last 39 games, West Virginia has turned the ball over as many as four times just thrice. And all were ugly - four times in a 16-13 overtime loss to Connecticut in 2010 that ultimately cost the Mountaineers a BCS bowl berth, five times in a horrid 23-7 loss to North Carolina State in the 2010 Champs Sports Bowl, and four times in that 47-21 loss to LSU.
There's not much that is Kryptonite to West Virginia's Superman offense, but turnovers are huge.
"We're capable of running routes and pass protecting and all that. We proved we can do that against anybody,'' Holgorsen said, referring to that LSU game again. "You have to block up front and you have to win one-on-one matchups on the outside. We did all that. But we turned the ball over four times.
"Did we lose? You're darn right we did. We didn't stop their run and we turned it over four times. Hopefully, it is not the same outcome.''
An emphasis on winning the turnover battle in big games - or any games, for that matter - is, of course, nothing novel. Texas boasts on the first page of its weekly media release that the Longhorns have won 58 straight dating back to 2002 when winning the turnover count. West Virginia touts a similar statistic on the first page of its release: a 66-4 record since 2002 when coming out on top in turnovers.
"That's the one stat that exists in college football that is very apparent,'' Holgorsen said.
It was obviously apparent in West Virginia's biggest regular season game last year and it is likely to be just as important Saturday when the Mountaineers face another in what figures to be a string of high-profile games this fall.
"We're not playing LSU, but I understand the [similarities],'' Holgorsen said. "But the two things we've got to do better is stop the run and not turn the ball over.''
"We'll see how he does today,'' Holgorsen said.

Climate change tops the list of threats. As oceans absorb man-made carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, they become more acidic. This ocean acidification is accelerating at an alarming rate, harming marine ecosystems and species. Coral bleaching caused by increasing temperatures is affecting not only coral reefs, but the tourism and fishing industries and the coastal communities who rely on healthy seas.
But the oceans also provide an effective weapon in the fight against climate change. Coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, wetlands, seagrasses and salt marshes trap and store huge amounts of carbon. And marine-based renewable energy such as offshore wind and tidal power is a promising way to help reduce carbon emissions. Read more Did you know?

Paris Carnegie Public Library was established as a city library more than 100 years ago. The library is a member of Illinois Heartland Library System and is governed by a nine-member board appointed by the mayor of the City of Paris Illinois. Parking is available on Main Street and in the lot on the north side of the library. In addition to the front entrance with its imposing steps, there is a street level entrance on the north side of the building. An elevator is located inside the north entrance.
One hundred years ago on June 24, 1904, citizens of Paris assembled at the Christian Church to dedicate the new Paris Carnegie Library, a real brick and mortar structure. Frank T. O'Hair presented the library on behalf of the board with Mayor Baum accepting the gift. Following the celebration, the library building was opened to the public for inspection. Over 3,000 volumes were on the shelves.
More than one attempt to start a circulating library had been made in the early days of the establishment of Paris, Illinois. The first was probably the organization of the Paris Library Association in December 1857. Subscribers were to pay $25 in installments of $5.00 and at this date three to four hundred dollars had been collected. Thomas Marks served as chairman and Henry W. Davis as secretary. By October 1858, six or seven hundred volumes, valued at $925, had been acquired. The books were stored in various areas and loaned during regular business hours. After the Civil War, the association disbanded and divided the books among the stockholders.
A second attempt at a library was made in the 1870's and '80's by the YMCA. Over one thousand volumes were available at this time at a reading room used by boys and young men. This venture lasted until the end of the 1880's, but in 1899 the Woman's Club inaugurated a circulating library with about a thousand volumes. It was open four afternoons each week with volunteers offering service.
Dr. E. O. Laughlin, who was on the city council, described the process that finally gave rise to the present Carnegie Library. "The idea of securing a Carnegie Library for Paris crystallized in the Ferris drug store, which served the purpose of a popular club in the '90's and later. It was presided over by the genial Dr. Edmund Ferris, veteran of the Civil War, who talked well, listened better, and whose hospitality was such that he never thought of closing the store as long as one guest would remain."
Regular members of the "club" gathered around a base burner as "Dr. Ferris made the suggestion that a library might be secured from Carnegie for Paris if some one would write to him." Dr. Laughlin agreed to undertake the task, writing the first of several letters to the Carnegie foundation.
Finally Paris learned that forty applications had been submitted and thirty-eight had been granted. Would Paris be one of the accepted? Two key conditions had to be met: the city had to donate the land, and the city had to commit to maintaining the library by an annual amount equal to 10 percent of the initial grant. Paris anxiously awaited the decision from James Bertram, Carnegie's secretary. It arrived in March, 1902. Paris would get the grant.
Paris agreed to levy a two mill tax, 10% of the $18,000 grant, Mayor Dr. Z. T. Baum appointed a nine-member library board, and the board of directors was sworn in on April 2, 1902. Directors' terms were to be three years. A committee was also selected to secure options on various building sites for the library. By May 6, over six other possibilities, the present building site was accepted at a cost of $6,500. That same month it was learned that the $18,000 grant was to be remitted in installments of $3,000 or $4,000 upon written request of two members of the board. Meanwhile a committee was busy studying architectural plans and visiting other communities where Carnegie libraries were being erected.
On August 8, 1902, the firm of Charles Henry & Sons from Akron, Ohio (architects of the Methodist Church) was selected, and on February 17, 1903, H. B. Newman, a local contractor, was awarded the contract with his bid of $18,000. Work began on the construction.
Finally, on June 4, 1904, the library board held its first meeting in the stately new structure on South Main, another of the eighty-one libraries in the state of Illinois, established through donations made by Andrew Carnegie, the controversial steel magnate. He had publicly claimed that it was wrong for a rich man to die rich, and, all in all, by the1920's his donations made possible almost 1700 Carnegie libraries owned and operated by local governments in over 1,400 communities.
Until 1908, communities were given free rein in their selection of building design. Because both Carnegie and Bertram felt that many designs were impractical, they began exercising more control over the plans. They felt exteriors were too expensive and interiors inefficient. Bertram discouraged fireplaces because they wasted space. The Paris library, established before this time, included at least one fireplace in the north meeting room and possibly two. The Carnegie plans which included tall ceilings and basements necessitated stairs which create problems for older people. These stairs are thought to be "an identifying characteristic of a Carnegie library." Most buildings were built of brick, more expensive in terms of construction cost, but less expensive to maintain, and none are wood. Although designed four years before these conditions were outlined, the Paris library is fairly typical of the Carnegie plans.
The Woman's Club had donated the books in their collection housed in the Bibo building on West Court Street; this library continued until the present library was finished. Mrs. Jane Bishop served as librarian at a salary of $2.00 a week.
When Mrs. Bishop resigned, Miss Emma Boyd was named the first librarian of the new building. Miss Ruth Link, Miss Cressie F. Strimple, Miss Minnie Denton and Miss Leota Price each served as librarians following Miss Boyd. In March 1929, Mrs. Nina Dulin Russell succeeded Miss Price as librarian. Mrs. Russell dedicated many years to the Paris Carnegie Library, serving until 1961, the longest tenure of any other Paris librarian. She received her library training at the University of Illinois and was first assistant from 1924-1929 before she became head librarian. Mrs. Alice Feutz served from 1962-1969, Mrs. Susanne J. Spicer from1969-1982, Mrs. Judy Caveney from 1982-1988, and Ms. Teresa Pennington from 1988 to date.
Through the years many dedicated members of the community served on the library board, some remaining only a few years and some for many. Mary Ida Riedell held the longest board tenure. She served from 1948 until 2002 and held every office more than once. J. E. Parrish was the first president serving on the first board in 1902. From 1915 to June, 1918 there was no appointment of a library board. The City Council made appointments of librarians during this time, but on June 14, 1918, Mayor Hoff swore in a complete nine-member board.
In 1966, Paris Library became a member of the Lincoln Trail Libraries System. This membership gives patrons access to many more books, periodicals, and other materials than would be possible from one library. That same year Miss Katherine Bishop left a $90,000 bequest in memory of her sister Lucy Bishop with the income to be used to supplement the library's reference works and nonfiction collection.
Gradually, the Paris Library collection grew to capacity. The children's collection had found a new home when the meeting room once used by the Friends in Council was remodeled for that purpose in 1972, but it was finally deemed necessary to add to the structure to accommodate the nearly 30,000 volumes which had been added and to make the library more accessible to the handicapped. The board hired Frederick A. Schlipf of Urbana Free Library as consultant and Bhupen Panchal as architect, who designed a 2,540 square-foot addition with the construction cost estimated to be $314,000.
The library staff then, in the spring of 1990, applied for a construction grant from the Illinois State Library. On July 12, 1990, Secretary of State/State Librarian Jim Edgar arrived here in Paris to announce that the Paris Carnegie Public Library would receive a grant of $124,000. On July, 1991, one hundred volunteers began manning the phones to raise $100,000. Among the contributors were two of special interest: the Monday Club which had met in the library for more than seventy years, and the Paris Woman's Club which was disbanding and from which the original donation of books had been made in 1902.
Ground was broken on July 25, 1991 and R. J. King Company, Inc. began construction on September 11, 1991. By June 1, 1992, the new accessible entrance was opened to the public. The total cost of the project was $322,895 in construction and $9,045 in new shelving. Amazingly, through the entire period of construction, the library remained open to the public with the circulation at 67,616, only 1,000 items short of a typical year's circulation.
The addition includes, as well as the new shelving to accommodate the present collection of 33,576 volumes, an elevator, two public restrooms, a handicapped accessible entrance, and a large meeting room, named for Robert Gibson who served on the board from 1983 until his death in 2001. The exterior closely matches the original building.
The staff has continued to keep the library efficient and current with trends in technology. In 2002, the northwest room was adapted to house, in addition to two walls of books, 6 computers. The southeast reading room was rearranged to accommodate the growing collection of large print books. In May 2002, the library was placed on the National Register of Historic Buildings.
The hum of today's activity probably would probably shock the first librarians, but it is indicative of a vibrant, functioning place of learning in the small town of Paris.

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy in a Fuel Cell
Application ID: 218
A fuel cell unit cell is modeled using the full Butler-Volmer expression for the anodic and cathodic charge transfer reactions. The anodic and cathodic overpotentials depend on the local ionic and electronic potentials, which are obtained from the charge balance equations for ionic and electronic current. A small sinusoidal perturbation of the potential around a given cell voltage is applied and the frequency of this perturbation is varied from fractions of a Hertz to several hundred thousands Hertz. The phase shift at the different frequencies is studied.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- How much time do you spend watching television each week? That number depends on your age.
According to Nielsen, teenagers watch an average of just 22 hours and 14 minutes each week. While people over 65 spend nearly 48 hours a week watching television.
The way we watch is changing, too. Nielsen says nearly five percent of homes which have a television don't get regular channels either through cable, satellite, or over the air. According to Nielsen, they use their TVs for video games, DVDs, or movie downloads.

Hi everyone,
I am facing a silly problem with my Yahoo! account, because I somehow got my date of birth wrong so that it looks like I am a 10 year old.
The problem is that Yahoo! users younger than 13 can't access details of their profile, so they can't change their date of birth. I am told the Yahoo! account management team can't change it either, so it looks like all I can do is wait another 3 years to be able to change it...
In the meantime, I would like to use Zimbra desktop but it won't let me use this account for the same reason (younger than 13). However I was thinking of building my own version of Zimbra desktop with a small patch so that age isn't checked when accounts are set up. I haven't been able to identify where this check is performed, but I hoped someone could help ?

Made in China tops the EU list of dangerous products
Newscast Media BEIJING—The European Commission has warned of a rising number of
notifications relating to the import of consumer products registered as dangerous to
consumers. It said most of the dangerous goods are coming from China.
In 2013, EU member countries notified 2,364 non-food products as potentially
dangerous, with the warnings being made through the bloc's Rapid Alert System
Toys, textiles, clothing and fashion items in general were the largest group of goods
found to pose a danger, the Commission's annual report said Tuesday. Among
the identified problems were chemical, strangulation, injury and choking risks.
Examples included collapsing pushchairs for small children and tattoo ink containing
banned chemicals.
"European consumers already benefit from one of the highest levels of product safety
in the world," Consumer Policy Commissioner Neven Mimica said in a statement.
"Nevertheless, non-compliant, unsafe consumer goods still circulate on the market in
Europe," he said, warning every actor must "remain vigilant."
Mimica pointed out that two thirds of the notified products originated in China, with
the rate up from 58 percent a year earlier.
"We're really working closely with the Chinese authorities, because we need to
develop and to deliver our concept of safety at source," the commissioner argued,
adding that Chinese authorities had been quite responsive to EU criticism in this
Most RAPEX notifications were registered in Hungary, followed by Germany, Spain,
Bulgaria and the UK.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - The Chicago Bears' defense held the St. Louis Rams without a touchdown and scored one of their own on Sunday en route to a 23-6 victory at Solider Field.
Major Wright came up with the 45-yard interception return for a touchdown, while Michael Bush added a 3-yard scoring run and Robbie Gould kicked three field goals for the Bears (2-1), who have won their last four meetings against the Rams.
Jay Cutler finished 17-of-31 passing for 183 yards with an interception for Chicago, which played without Matt Forte because of an ankle injury. Bush rushed for 55 yards on 18 carries, while Brandon Marshall added five catches for 71 yards.
St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford struggled in the setback, completing just 18-of-35 passes for 152 yards with a pair of interceptions, as the Rams managed just 160 yards of total offense.
Stephen Jackson carried the ball 11 times for 29 yards and Danny Amendola hauled in five passes for 66 yards for St. Louis (1-2), which has dropped 11 of its last 12 road games.

Item # SEL000D
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Road Bike Saddles in stock than that.View Similar Products
Selle Italia SLR Tekno Flow Saddle $0.00
The Selle Italia SLR Tekno Flow Saddle is an exercise in minimalism, and surprisingly, that's a good thing. You're looking at a saddle that only weighs around 115 grams, but despite its light weight, the Tekno Flow takes advantage of an anatomic cutout and a low-profile Lorica cover in order to deliver far more comfort than you'd expect out of this decidedly firm racing saddle. Basically, if you have your eyes on the checkered flag, this saddle will get you there without compromise.
The SLR Tekno Flow starts off with a 100% carbon fiber base, which is stiff, supportive, and lightweight. True to the SLR designation, this saddle has a 131mm tail width and 275mm length, so it accommodates those with medium width sit bones comfortably. A possible misconception about this saddle is that only the perimeter of the saddle has been constructed of carbon fiber. However, it actually shares the standard Tekno's 100% carbon construction, only the Flow features a touch of padding and a low-friction, hard-wearing Lorica cover.
This saddle is supported by Selle Italia's carbokermaic rails. Not only are they durable and light, but they also provide vibration damping. And although its claimed weight is a ridiculously light 115 grams, this seat is, in fact, rated for off-road use.
The Selle Italia SLR Tekno Flow Saddle is available in 131x275mm size and in the color Black.

Is the Lorica cover slick or does it help keep your butt in place? I've got the Selle SMP Carbon and the only thing I don't like about it is slipping back when climbing.
The material really doesn't slip, the only slipping i had is for the first ride in a new pair of shorts. After that no issues.

Editorial: Assaulting the environment
Published: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 8:26 p.m.
At a time when Marion and other counties in Florida are looking to tourism, especially ecotourism, to give their wounded economies a needed boost, the Florida Legislature has sent anti-environmental legislation to Gov. Rick Scott that would not only harm our woods and water, but also would have negative long-term economic impact on the state.
House Bill 999, with its Senate counterpart, SB 1684, are the latest assaults on Florida's environment by those who hold the most power and responsibility to protect it. First the Legislature gutted growth management, then it weakened our water management districts. Now it seeks to roll back protections on wetlands, allow for more pumping of our aquifer, make it harder for local governments to hold developers accountable, make it easier to pollute our waters and award 30-year, no-bid leases to Big Sugar for land critical to restoration of the Everglades.
The Florida Conservation Coalition, which is led by former governor and Sen. Bob Graham, has tracked these bill and reports that they would "weaken or eliminate" 20 environmental regulations. In short, the bills — which are labeled "environmental regulation" measures — are in fact nothing more than a massive effort toward deregulation. This, at time when half of Florida's waterways already are deemed polluted by state regulators.
It is inexplicable that our lawmakers would support such legislation. Florida is too dependent economically on its beautiful and often unique natural resources to attract visitors from around the world to endanger them in the name of, as HB 999 sponsor Rep. Jimmy Patronis, R-Panama City, put it, to make Florida "more business-friendly." Florida already is among the most business-friendly of the 50 states, and further decimating its already fragile and increasingly polluted environment is not likely to make it more attractive to the kinds of businesses we want as corporate citizens.
Gov. Rick Scott should veto HB 999/SB 1684 because it is more than what Patronis laughably termed "tweaks and fixes." It is nothing less than the latest assault on any semblance of environmental protection and growth management for Florida. Consider one segment of the legislation that limits the number of inquiries cities and counties can make about a development permit application to three, no matter how big or intrusive the project.
HB 999/SB 1684 is the latest example of the legislative leadership carrying water for big business in Florida. They sell out everyday Floridians without any consideration for who will clean up the inevitable environmental damage or at what cost. Shame on them.
By vetoing this reckless legislation, Gov. Scott has an opportunity to show that he is more concerned about everyday Floridians and the health of their communities than about pandering to big business. The governor has the opportunity to show he is beginning to understand the importance to Florida's economy of a vibrant and protected environment.
We urge our readers to let Gov. Scott know that Florida's environment matters to it citizens and to their future. Stop the assault on Florida's environment. Email Gov. Scott today at email@example.com or call 850-488-7146 and beseech him to veto HB 999/SB 1684.

It only took Max Holloway a few boxing lessons to figure this out: Body shots hurt.
He's of course learned to harness that power over two years of fighting, and at this past Saturday's UFC 150, he put it to use by stopping Justin Lawrence.
"I would love to tell you I have one-punch knockout power to the face, but I just don't," Holloway on Monday told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "Being able to punch to the body, I can get stoppages like this because people don't think it hurts."
The fight took place on the event's preliminary-card, which aired live on FX and took place at Denver's Pepsi Center. After a series of spirited exchanges on the feet, Holloway (6-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) caught Lawrence (4-0 MMA, 1-1 UFC) with a knee and combination of punches to the bread basket late in the second frame. Lawrence sunk to the canvas in pain and could do little other than cover up as the referee intervened to stop further punishment.
It was the second straight win for the 20-year-old Holloway, whose crisp striking is not the only thing people notice. Almost as soon as he set foot on the floor of the casino where the UFC Fighter Summit was recently held, he got kicked off when an employee carded him.
Thankfully, the fighter has a pass for the octagon. He will go so far as to say body punches are more devastating than those aimed at the chin (though it's doubtful he would argue with the type that prompt a lights-out KO).
"I'm more of a guy to keep hitting you and make you give up," he said. "If I can be a one-punch body shot finisher, that's great."
As it turned out, Holloway's methodical aggression was the result of an on-the-fly adjustment. Lawrence fought exactly the opposite of what he expected and forced him to move forward more than he planned.
"I was getting ready for the Justin Lawrence that was going to come forward, be in my face, and try to keep the tempo of his fight," Holloway said. "But he was fighting how I wanted to fight him, backing off, picking his shots, and exploding here and there. That surprised me."
Holloway said a meeting with his manager should determine the next step in his career. There were two victorious featherweights at the event that impressed him.
"Nik Lentz had a strong showing in his debut at 145 (pounds), and Dennis Bermudez overcame that knee and came back to win the fight," he said. "So I wouldn't mind fighting either of them. They're both beasts."
