Diversity Requirement Criteria and Guidelines
Courses that satisfy the diversity requirement aim to give students significant opportunities to:
- Address diversity issues, particularly those involving unequal and/or discriminatory treatment Compare positive and negative implications of various parochial or "...centric" perspectives Encourage global awareness and sensitivity Engage issues of racial or ethnic perceptions, attitudes and stereotypes
- Examine patterns and trends of diversity in the United States
- Explore ways to communicate and participate constructively in a diverse community
- Foster appreciation of aesthetic dimensions of other traditions and cultures
- Learn systematic approaches to understanding cultural differences and commonalities
- Learn systematic techniques for dealing constructively with problems arising out of cultural differences
- Participate in special programs that promote understanding other peoples
- Study Western and non-Western cultures in a world context or from a comparative perspective
- Understand how one's own culture shapes one's perceptions, ideology and values
It is understood that not every course will address all of these criteria.
- As part of the requirements for any bachelor's degree, all students must satisfy the diversity requirement. Normally a student must complete two courses chosen from the diversity course list.
- Students are required to take one course addressing domestic (U.S.) issues and one course addressing global issues.
- At least one course must be taken as part of the Kent Core.
- Students may satisfy the second diversity requirement in one of three ways:
- They may complete a second diversity course from the Kent Core, which also will count toward fulfilling the Kent Core.
- They may complete any non-Kent Core diversity course. This course may also count toward major or minor program requirements or may be used as an elective.
- They may, with approval from their dean, satisfy the second diversity requirement by completing one semester of study in another country.

Home > Pest Management > Cicada Killers are Gentle Giants
Cicada Killers are Gentle Giants
Cicada killers are large docile wasps that emerge in the summer to hunt for cicadas. The cicada killers look very dangerous, but are really gentle giants. The males buzz around to defend their territory from other males and can be seen charging windows when they see their reflection and think its another male. The males have no stinger and can not sting or bite. Although they may appear aggressive and appear to chase you, they are just investigating every new visitor to their territory.
The female cicada killers can be seen digging holes in loose sandy soil where she will lay her eggs. They prefer open patches in sunny areas with trees nearby. Last year cicada killers set up homes in the front of Suffolk Hall and the ESS steps. The female cicada killers capture cicada and drag them into their burrow. The picture to the right shows a cicada killer with a captured cicada. Female cicada killers can sting, but seldom do. Unless you step barefoot on a female or grab her with bare hands, you are extremely unlikely to be stung. If you are allergic to bee stings, get immediate medical assistance if you are stung.
Control of Cicada Killers
When requested, the EH&S Pest Management staff will dust the cicada killer burrows with pyrethrum pesticide. Contact with the dust will kill the adult, but it does not kill the eggs. Therefore, cicada killers will return the following year. The cicada killers are around for a month during the summer, but if you feel you can not coexist with this beneficial insect and must take action; here are a few suggestions for controlling the cicada killer population in your home.
- Cicada killers can not burrow in healthy turf and prefer well drained soils. Keep the lawn well watered in the areas where they burrow to discourage them and hope they select another site for their home.
- If theyre burrowing in your planting beds, put down landscape fabric covered with mulch to discourage them. A layer of fine gravel will also discourage them from burrowing.
- Cicada killers are poor fliers and can be easily dispatched with the swing of a tennis racket or by stepping on them when theyre near their burrow.
- Pouring boiling water down each burrow at night when the females have returned will kill the adult and the eggs.

Street Rod Nationals Builder's ShowcaseWritten by Brian Brennan on August 2, 2013 Contributors: Eric Geisert Show Within A Show
Each year at the Nationals in Louisville a show within a show emerges. The Kentucky Exposition Center is one really big convention hall that has an entry hallway that stretches the length of the building. It's a great place to get in out of the heat and humidity but it turns out to be a great place to show off some of the top cars built in our industry from across the country. Before entering the expo center you have a chance to view in comfort several dozen topflight cars from the top builders. Here is a sampling of six of these cars and trucks.
Ronnie and Debra Goodwin brought their '32 Ford highboy roadster based on a Brookville Roadster with a small-block Chevy from Blue Print Engines topped with three, two's trimmed in brightwork by Advanced Plating.
This '34 Chevy comes from Ronnie's Hot Rods and is owned by George Lynch.
Nifty looking five-window Deuce is owned by Russ and Winnie Showers and came from Jamie Johnson's Hot Rod Haven. Blown small-block and slicks make this coupe a real hot rod.
Mike Goldman Customs built the black '57 owned by Gary Brown.
Brad Starks Rod & Custom put together this very cool '50 Chevy owned by Larry and Judy Brewer.
Something from the unique file is this '31 Plymouth roadster with a '32 Ford grille shell owned by Lewis McMillan and built by Rod Crafters.

Best Uses
Comments about Ten Seconds Arch 1000 Insoles:
I am like many athletic people, who have a compressed disk in their spine from doing squats with too much weigh on the basrbell. So, for the rest of my life, I will have numbness and painfull pins-and-needles sensation with every step I take (yes, it hurts every step). I have been to Doctors, and they tell me to get arch supports in my shoes, inorder to reduce the pain. The arch supports do work, but, I can not find firm arch supports. so, I tried this product for [$] and I am disappointed. I had to reinforce the arch area with more solid rubber material to make it firmer. Now the inserts seem to work better. I think the manufacturer needs to increase the firmness and hight of the arch, and this would be a good product. It also would help, if the area under the toe ball-jonts area was a little more thicker and softer, but will not leave an impression.

Comments about Ten Seconds Arch 1000 Insoles:
This same product is also sold under a diffent brand, which my wife bought after seeing a doctor for arch problems. Given the reputation of that brand, I tried comparing the pair my wife bought and the custom orthotics I have. My feet couldn't tell the difference really, other than the softer surface--a bonus, so I purchased one for myself in January, 2009. I have used it since then while training for/racing in (all local) a sprint triathlon, an urbanathlon, and various distance running events. I hope Sports Authority does not stop carrying this.

Insulin controls energy metabolism and increases the activity of IGF-1 by increasing its synthesis and by decreasing binding proteins, such as IGFBP-1. Both Insulin and IGF-1 stimulated anabolic processes based on the availability of energy and basic substrates, such as amino acids. Insulin and IGF-1 promote cancer by inhibiting apoptosis and by stimulating cell proliferation (Kaaks and Lukanova, 2001; Parr, 1999). In addition, insulin and IGF-1 promote the synthesis of sex hormones and inhibit the synthesis of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (S.H.B.G.), which regulates the bio-availability of circulating sex hormones to tissues (Kaaks and Lukanova, 2001; Cordain et al 2003). Elevated levels of insulin and IGF-1 are thus ties to increased cancer experienced in the developed world (Giovannucci et al, 2004). Bartke et al (2003) and Parr (1999) have suggested that low levels of insulin may be an effective way of increasing longevity. Their conclusions are based on calorie restricted animals which have much reduced insulin and IGF-1 concentrations compared to normally fed shorter lived animals.
McCarty (2000) suggested that simultaneous intake of animal protein and high-glycemic foods cause sharp raises in insulin that subsequently lead to Syndrome X, which is also associated with insulin resistance which leads to increased hyperinsulinmia, decreased IGFBP-1 and S.H.B.G. production and increased free serum IGF-1 (Hursting et al, 2003).
It should be noted that although protein and high-glycemic foods are often identified as drivers of insulin and IGF-1 levels, Cordain et al (2002) reported that hunter-gather diets were very high in meat intake, but low in high glycemic carbohydrates. Possible explanations for this paradox are the consumption of low-fat animals, high intake of plants and vegetables, and relatively low total calorie intake in comparison to a high-energy expenditure. In addition high levels of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat and a higher omega-3/omega-6 ratio, antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and phytochemicals with low salt intake was favorable for cardio vascular disease.
S.H.B.G. is an important regulator of plasma sex hormones and a sensitive marker of insulin resistance (gates et al, 1996). Low S.H.B.G. levels are tied to increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cancer, cardio vascular disease and mortality (Gates et al, 1996). Higher insulin levels reduce serum levels of S.H.B.G. (Lonning et al, 1995; Gates et al, 1996; Chen et al, 1990; Cordain et al, 2003), which as mentioned before are related to protein and high-glycemic carbs. Food types affect levels of S.H.B.G.; e.g., wheat lowers S.H.B.G. while vegetables appear to raise it. However, total food intake is negatively related to S.H.B.G. when it increases weight and B.M.I. because weight and B.M.I. are independently and negatively correlated with S.H.B.G.
The level of IGFBP-1 controls the bioavailability of IGF-1. Wolk et al (2004) found low levels of IGFBP-1 correlate with increased insulin resistance, obesity and cardio vascular disease. They also found that the only significant positive association between IGFBP-1 and diet was attained when carb intake was increased. They also reported that a study of women vegans had 20-40% higher IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-2 levels compared to women on both vegetarian and meat diets.
Another study (Giovannucci et al, 2004), found insulin secretion positively correlated with greater intakes of meat, dairy, refind carbs, saturated and trans fat and lower intakes of whole grain products and fiber. Since IGFBP-1 and insulin are inversely related, their findings indicate that reducing the consumption of animals; dairy, and sugar can increase IGFBP-1.

University of Queensland researchers garnered attention last week with their finding that koalas in captivity frequently engage in lesbian sex. But koalas are hardly the first animals to have been outed by scientists. Researchers have identified more than 300 softball-playing and Streisand-loving vertebrate species. Here, Esquire's Field Guide to Gay Animals.
Bighorn Sheep
Ovis canadensis
These mountain sheep spend most of the year living in sex-segregated groups and almost all males participate in homosexual sex. Typically, an older male courts a younger male, lowering his head and neck and sometimes flicking his tongue and growling. The older ram then mounts the younger one from behind. On occasion, rams engage in "huddles," a cluster of as many as ten rams rubbing, nuzzling and mounting each other.
Black Swan
Cygnus atratus
Some male swans form stable, long-lasting relationships with other males and occasionally raise children together. Males may have sex with a female, build a nest with her, and then chase the female away once she has laid the egg. The male then raises the baby with his male partner. Other times gay couples chase heterosexual couples from their nests, then raise the chick as if it were their own. These homosexual couples are frequently better-suited to parenting than their heterosexual counterparts -- as two males, they can secure a bigger territory. Since it is possible for these swans to raise a family without having sex with a female, some swans are most likely exclusively homosexual.
Pan paniscus
Humans' closest relatives, these chimpanzees engage in frequent sex, often as a means to avoid conflict. Roughly 40-50 percent of all bonobo sexual interactions are homosexual, and these are primarily between females. As often as every two hours, a female bonobo wraps her legs around her partner's waist as they quickly rub their genitals together. They gaze into each other's eyes, grimace and squeal until the sex culminates in what researchers assume is an orgasm. Less frequently, males engage in homosexual activities including oral sex and "penis fencing," where they swing their penises at each other like swords.
Boto Dolphin
Inia geoffrensis
Scientists have observed males penetrate the genital slit, the anus and the blowhole of other male Botos. This behavior has only been studied in males in captivity without females. As a result, there is some contention as to whether or not such behavior, perhaps like prison sex, qualifies participants as gay.
Eurasian Oystercatcher
Haematopus ostralegus
These large, shore-dwelling birds sometimes form three-way relationships, most often with two females and one male. Both females mate with the male as well as with each other, essentially as a form of cooperation. One female lifts her tail upward, and the other mounts her, using her wings to maintain balance. Roughly five percent of female Oystercatchers engage in homosexual sex.
Phoenicopterus ruber
In captivity, both male and female flamingos form homosexual relationships. Companions travel together, sleep side by side, and preen and feed each other. Occasionally these couples have sex, although full genital contact has only been observed between females. Rarely, flamingos engage in a triad (known more familiarly as a menage a trois) with two males and one female. Humans have long assumed these skinny, pink birds were gay.
Japanese Macaque
Macaca fuscata
Female macaques form short-term exclusive relationships known as consortships with other females. They groom each other, defend their partners against other animals, and regularly mount one another. These ladies have been observed having sex in at least seven different positions.
Humboldt Penguins
Spheniscus humboldti
Some male Humboldt penguins mate with other males for life and live with their partner in a nest they built together. To have sex, one penguin lies on his stomach and holds up his tail in order to expose his cloaca, the opening for the genital, urinary and intestinal tracts. Five percent of penguin couples in zoos are all-male.
Killer Whale
Orcinus orca
During the summer and fall, different communities of whales join together, allowing for temporarily male-only groups. Two male orcas -- although occasionally more -- playfully splash the surface of the water and make physical contact. Sometimes one male swims underwater and rubs the other whale's three-foot long penis with his beak. They swim in this position, dive into the water intertwined, then typically repeat the act with the positions reversed. Perhaps the world's most considerate animal, 90 percent of Orcas' homosexual encounters are reciprocal.
Phascolarctos cinereus
Female koalas in captivity mount one another, sometimes in groups as large as five. Typically, a female clings to a tree trunk while the other female thrusts from behind and bites the other's neck. In the most recent study in Australia, researchers observed three times as many homosexual encounters as heterosexual ones.

|Healthier Living class offered in Wray
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Those who have a chronic disease know it is something they deal with each and every day. Not only do they need to manage the disease itself, but they may at times feel overwhelmed by the effect the disease has on their life.
For those who have ever felt saddened, stressed or angry about the disease or are affected by the disease of a loved one, the Wray Hospital provides a class called Healthier Living Colorado. This class offers the chance to make positive changes in life.
The six-week course is designed for participants and support persons who want to learn to become better self-managers. The program was developed by Stanford University and covers various topics like dealing with pain and fatigue, nutrition, medications, communicating with health care providers and more. Learning to help oneself in a way that suits him/her as an individual can be a powerful experience.
This Healthier Living Colorado Program is sponsored by the Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease and Pulmonary Disease Grants Program at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The class is currently offered free of charge.
An introduction to the class was held Monday, Oct. 5 at the Wray Community District Hospital South Education Room. Those with a chronic disease are encouraged to take a support person with them. Actual classes begin Monday, Oct. 12 from 1-3:30 p.m. and continue on Mondays through Nov. 16.
For more information or to register contact Denice Baucke, RN at 970-332-2213 or Vonie Weaver at 970-332-5147. If these class times are not convenient, please call, as they may be able to offer an evening class in the future.

There's nothing better than a blue sky, feet of fresh snow, and a car full of gear on an early winter morning drive to the hill. Wait, yes there is: A drive with skis or snowboards (or both) neatly organized, secured, and locked to the Thule Universal Flat Top with Locks is so much better than fighting for enough space in your wagon to manage a sip coffee.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Great Rod carrier
I use these for carrying my fly rods and they work great. They do damage the rods.
A great product in every way! What a difference a well designed product makes! This ski rack was very easy to install and store. It's light, I can keep my gloves on to use it, the top bar stays up while I get the skiis on and off, and the parts that hook the rack to the cross-bar swivel to line up with the rack for easy storing!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
"The process and assembly of this rack all-around was easy. It also looks really good. My only issue is that my snowboard doesn't fit with both bindings in the center or on the outside of the snowboard rack. You have to put one of the bindings in the middle and the other past the front or rear rack. Otherwise great product. 8 out of 10."
Boards and rods?what else?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The design of these board/ski racks are so simple, it's not hard to find more uses for them. Yeah, they carry 2 snowboards easily, but I've used them to carry fly rods that won't fit in the Titan Vault. Kayak oars, pvc, you name it. The new universal foot attachment is genius. I was concerned about thieves cutting the rubber straps, but there is a decent band of metal in each. Also the strap design makes taking these racks of way easy. Just unlock, loosen slight and they pop right off and right back on. Love em.
Not just for winter
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love this rack. I love the huge buttons to operate with gloves. I leave this rack on all year long. In the other 3 seasons I use it to safely transport my fishing poles and fly rods without breaking them down. Super convenient. With the addition of the lock cylinders I have no reservations of leaving my board or my poles on my car. The soft rubber cradles my gear without crushing it. Will post a pic when I have better light
Thule rack
Size is the 6 ski. Note the number of skis it can supposedly hold is not based on today's fatties. I'd say you can normally hold about 4 solid fat skis on the rack.
Great rack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Not all too much to say here, its a ski rack and it does its job very well. It opens easy, it closes easy, it locks easy, ski don't fall off it careening down the highway like daggers through an innocent bystanders windshield... what more can you really ask for? I've had mine on my Forester for about 6 years now, made a few cross country drives with a full rack, and have never had a problem with it. Every now and then it might take a sec to knock snow and ice off it but it's never gotten stuck on me. Big thumbs up and highly recommended!
Nice rack! hehehe
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've transported 6 snowboards with it. Am very happy. A little disappointed that the screws underneath rusted on my very first trip. But I think that is just cosmetic.
As always. LOVE Backcountry! Great customer service!
Nearly perfect
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Only two tiny flaws - when it gets really cold it can be difficult to loosen the clamps enough to free the semi-rigid strap and move them. Above freezing, they go on and off in a matter of 90 seconds.
Second, occasionally have small issues getting the keys to properly spin the locks, takes a bit of fiddling.
Love this!
I had to get this for a last minute trip back to Colorado. I put this on my 2006 Hyundia Tuscon with factory mounts. It fit perfect, was so easy install! We halled 3 fat powder skis and one snowboard on the Flat Top 6. It came with locks so I was never worried about someone snatching them off my car.
For someone looking for a good way to transport skis/snowboards for the person looking to save a little. Its not the best for noise, so if price is not an option you can for a nice more aerodynamic model.
super solid and easy to use
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use this rack with thule bars. It's super easy to attach and detach. they literally came out of the box and were on my roof in a few minutes. i haven't had any problems with it in the snow or cold. the locks work well (something that i recommend getting). it holds four boards no problem. does what it says and does it well!
Thule rack
2nd Thule rack that I have purchased ,however the cylinder locks will NOT work,have sent numerous emails to thule & also have waited on hold on the phone till I realized no one was picking up!!! very disappointed
Perfect Rack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Flat Top rack is all around perfect for me. Looks slick, no bigger or smaller than it needs to be, and the components always work. Whether it is 5 below and snowing or just throwing 4 boards on the roof for a sunny spring day, the buttons and locks allow for easy open and close - never an issue!
Pretty perfect...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These racks are incredibly easy to use. They install easily to the Thule Loadbar and operate nicely in about any condition. They have big buttons to release that can be easily depressed even if caked in snow and a bit of ice. They also close incredibly easy in the same conditions. I have had the 6 pair and the 4 pair, the 6's are super nice if you are going to be skiing with groups of friends or family, especially if some of them snowboard. The 6 pair fits about 5 pairs of pow skis, 6 pairs of park skis, or two snowboards (stacked on top of each other) and 3 pairs of park skis.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Definitely the choice of most regular snowboarders or skiers. Extremely easy to set up and use. and looks good on any car. Being able to fit 4 snowboards on the top of your car is a pretty great thing. I'm usually only taking a couple people to the hill so its awesome. Very secure so you don't need to be paranoid if you're somewhere else. 05 WRX
Superb Rackarama.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've actually loaded mine to the gills with 4 boards and 2 pairs of skis. (The ski's were semi-vintage from 1999, so they were still skinny!) It definitely took some strong handing to get it closed all the way, but it did it!
Can't wait till the pow makes a return... Hopefully in 2 more months!
Rack yeah!
Holds all the winter essentials.
I was thinking of getting this for my boyfriend who has an FJ Cruiser. Do I need to purchase any other pieces?
Hey Karlee, as long as his Cruiser has factory crossbars already on the top, this will fit perfectly without needing any additional parts.
Just as William states, as long as you have the factory rack up top, you're good to go!
Go Bigger if you have fat skis
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
With the way ski companies are going by making fatter and fatter skis Thule needs to make a wider model again. My 6-pair rack can fit 4-5 pairs across the top of my roof due to the width of skis. Just keep that in mind if you're looking to carry six pairs on a pow day.
Also, the locks on there are great addition to their newest update. No need to spend more and install them yourself. If you need extra keys, call Thule and give them your 3-4 digit number off the lock cylinder.
It works!
Simple, basic ski rack. Another classic from THULE. Haven't had a product from them I didn't like. All of my racks have LOCKS, don't get it without! Solid product from a sold company. My only gripe is the amount of time it takes getting on and off. You have to loosen 4 screws with an allen wrench. It could be easier, but for the price i paid on Steep and Cheap, i cant complain!
Easy to install
Easy to install, way better than putting wet skis in your car. You can use with the factory luggage rack on a Toyota Highlander if you want to.
do i need to order one or 2

I have an 04 Toyota corolla , I'm unsure how the mount would attach because there is no rails to attach to, but I really want a rack, any idea???
If you have a naked roof on your Corolla you will need a base rack to attach this Flat Top to. The easiest way to find out what components you need will be to use the Thule Rack configurator located just above the tech specs. But basically you will need a set of 4 feet, a fit kit for your specific model of car, 2 cross bars, and locks and a fairing if you choose to get them.

Hurricane gets 1st title
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Hurricane coach Jim Dagostine has insisted all season that his team would be formidable whether or not he started three foreign-exchange students.
The Redskins proved that theory Wednesday on the biggest stage as seniors Evan Miles and Alex White scored one goal apiece in leading Hurricane past Parkersburg 2-0 in the Class AAA boys high school soccer state championship game at Schoenbaum Soccer Stadium in Coonskin Park. A vocal crowd of about 400 attended the matchup of the top two squads in the state.
Dagostine had quite a task on his hands this season in blending seniors Felipe Thompson, who is from Chile, and Brazilians Rodrigo Bevaqua and Matheus Morgan with the rest of an already talented team. The Redskins also had to overcome accusations and heckling from opponents and fans directed at the exchange students.
"We had some cookouts and we became great friends,'' said White. "We're all great friends and we all love soccer. I'm glad they came in. They're great kids, too.
"They're not just soccer players, they're great friends. After a few games we realized, 'This is what this player does and this is what this player does.' We changed a few things and everything just ended up great.''
Hurricane (23-0-1), which finished the regular season No. 1 in the state coaches association rankings, captured the school's first soccer title. The Redskins cruised past Hedgesville 4-0 in Tuesday's semifinals.
The Redskins, who were making their fourth appearance in six years at states and third straight, were runners-up in 2007 after losing to George Washington 1-0 in the championship game.
Hurricane also dropped a 2-1 decision on a penalty-kick shootout to Wheeling Park in the 2010 semifinals and fell to eventual state champion GW 1-0 in last year's semis. And quite possibly Hurricane's best team, which was undefeated, nationally ranked and unscored upon, didn't even make states in 2009 after getting upset in the sectional finals.
Since Dagostine took over the Hurricane program in 2006, the Redskins have posted a 127-20-13 record, including three undefeated regular-season marks. Hurricane had never advanced to states until 2007.
"There's a lot of people that never thought they'd see this, especially in soccer, at Hurricane High School,'' said Dagostine, whose team had to fight through No. 14 Nitro and No. 4 Winfield (sectionals), No. 3 Huntington (regionals) and No. 16 Hedgesville and No. 2 Parkersburg (states).
"I'm happy for my boys. This is something they'll have for the rest of their lives. They've earned this. It's also for all those boys that worked so hard to get this program where it's at and to give these boys a foundation to build off. These boys took it and ran.''
Hurricane, which ended the regular season with a 1-1 tie against No. 2 Parkersburg (17-4-4) for its only blemish, controlled Wednesday's game from the outset but didn't have anything to show for its efforts until late in the opening half. Miles, a defender, turned an assist from Morgan into a 1-0 lead with 3:21 left before halftime.
Morgan put a shot on goal that deflected off a Big Reds' player and Miles, pushing up from his defensive position, was in front of the goal to wrangle the ricochet and put the ball inside the left post.
Senior defender Tyler Broadwater had Parkersburg's best shot at tying the game in the second half, but Hurricane junior keeper Tim Hayslett dived to slap away the direct kick from about 25 yards out. Hayslett, who played goalie for the first time this season then ended up starting midway through the year, turned in one save.
White chipped in an unassisted goal, which deflected off a Parkersburg defender, with 2:02 left in the game to seal the deal.
Parkersburg's defense held Thompson, who led the Kanawha Valley in scoring with 47 goals, scoreless for only the fifth time this season. Broadwater, who is considered by many as an all-state defender, marked Thompson throughout the game.
"He dominated the upper third [of the field],'' said Big Reds junior keeper Reid Strobl of Thompson. "It was just too much. They had a lot of good players that came through and made some good goals.''
Toward the end of the match the referee had to separate both teams' players, but order was restored quickly. When the clock hit zero the Hurricane players sprinted onto the field to celebrate while Dagostine found a quiet place on the bench and buried his head in his hands.
"[Other people] have really tried to tear this team apart,'' said the Hurricane coach. "At the [Mountain State Athletic] conference championship game when a lot of things happened, I think that's when our team finally came together. Everybody in every huddle from that point on, they wanted to get a job done. It's been special to watch this thing come together. I think all of us will take as much off the field.''
Parkersburg played in its ninth championship game and had its third runner-up finish to go with six titles. The Big Reds, who still haven't won a championship outside of Beckley, edged defending state champion GW 1-0 in the semis.

I'm hoping someone may be able to help me.
I am having trouble setting up my Zimbra server's CalDAV in iCal on both Snow Leopard and Lion. Both these tell me that "The server did not specify a calendar home location at /principals/users/[USERNAME]/ - https://[SERVERNAME]". (user and server name edited out.)
I have checked the PROPFIND request to this location on my server and note that although it specifies an addressbook-home-set for CardDAV, there is no mention of CalDAV in the response.
I am unsure as to whether this is a problem with iCal or Zimbra, but assume that since it affects all accounts on the server, it is something at the server end. This is a server just newly installed yesterday, so I hope that it's not something that I have configured wrongly.
If anyone can help that'd be grand as I am thoroughly confused!

Why did you rule out your home state of Oregon?
I do 95% my hunting with quality limited entry tag. I have devoted most of my hunting research to these limited entry hunts, and with the point systems, I have a pretty good idea when we will draw the tags we are applying for.
For the years that we won't likely draw one of the tags we have been saving point up for, I would like to begin to learn an area that has some quality general archery elk hunting. This could be in Idaho, Montana, or Colorado.
I am thinking Montana may be one of our best bets with a great chance to draw a combo tag. Does anyone have any general areas to be looking at in Montana. I am at the very beginning of my research. I am not looking at a hard core area. My wife would be bowhunting with me, so we are mainly looking for day hunts based out of our camper. I love the SW part of the state around the Big Hole River and the Madison River, though I am not at all tied to those area. I would prefer to be on the western side of the state, just due to the distance from home in Oregon.
I would appreciate any general info. Thanks a bunch.
Why did you rule out your home state of Oregon?
I live in some of the best Roosevelt hunting in the state and we do that on weekends and stuff.
Pm sent Jim.
There are a lot of hunters in the southwestern part of Montana. There is also a lot of public land, but you will have to hike a long way off the beaten path to be alone. There are not a lot of areas that you can hunt out of your camper and find quality bulls. Wolves have also impacted the area.

TAKOMA PARK, Md. (WUSA) -- Sera Morgan and Cayo Gamber have been together for more than 20 years, sharing a charming home in Takoma Park and a talented 19-year-old daughter.
But they say they have never felt more like a couple than they do today, one day after Maryland voters became the first in the country's history to approve a same-sex marriage referendum.
"It feels like you are legitimate and you are here, you're not an embarrassment," Sera said.
As a result of Tuesday's historic vote, gay couples in Maryland can start getting marriage licenses on January 1, 2013, less than two months away. Cayo and Sera say they plan on being among the first in line for their marriage license on New Year's Day, and then plan on getting married sometime next fall. Right now, they're still in the early stages of planning the big event, but Cayo says she knows one thing for sure: definitely no wedding dress for her.
"Oh, absolutely not, perhaps a tunic with pants," Cayo said with a hearty laugh.

Weird, no responses here on the Board? I am interested and sended an email.
Hello there,
I am a game designer and I need a map(actually more than one) to use as base for the plot history of some games.
The map I want is a geographical look-alike of earth's map, with a little bit larger planet and slightly more landmass. I am seeking more of a geographically/geologically/climate realistic map than a necessarily very artsy for my first commission. It will be used as a base for history writing, and won't show up at first anywhere (if you want to do it artistically we can work the price too)
Then I will commission "detailed zoom" versions of the continents and such, with a more artistic approach. Whenever it comes to art styles, it would be anything close to medieval fantasy.
I am looking for a realistic geography that might occur on Earth: continents, archipelagos and such. Given its a world map at first it wont have much river and mountain range details yet, I think, then on detailed regions we can do it.
I don't have yet the minimum 5 posts to be messaged directly, so if you need to contact me directly or any other info, do so at guilnunes "at" gmail.com (at = @) or post here in the forum
I am not sure yet about how much a map would cost and please correct me if my offer is far too low: U$100 or more for the first geographical map (more for more artistically detailed ones).
Again, there will be a world map at first, then I will later ask for new commissions detailing versions of the continents or even "zoom closer" to areas of interest.
I will need the right to use the map for commercial purposes, it wont need a print version, and I would appreciate help defining the scale and good payment rates. I don't need it urgently.
Thanks in advance,
Guilherme Nunes

Hello mr. Schwarzkreuz! And also the cartography community.

I will now change this to taken.
My best regards and keep up the good work.

Thank you all very much!

Lynn Haven, FL-- Economists might say the recession is winding down, but it certainly didn't appear that way at Haney Technical Center this afternoon.
Volunteers for the Bay County Job Fair, say they were expecting about 3,000 people and by the look of the parking lot, it's safe to say they exceeded that number.
72 businesses took part in the fair, from the girl scouts to Subway.
And not everyone attending is unemployed, like Charles Sypherd, who says he is looking for something better.
"Just anything to step up out of the lower class. You know, to expand myself, I've got kids, and I really need to give them the life they deserve."
Some companies even hosted one on one job interviews during the fair.

The word 'epic' is used all over the place like a cheap, eh, suit but John Isner + Nicolas Mahut have set the standard for its use in tennis. Their first round match at Wimbledon, which began on Tuesday and was held over until today because of darkness, was suspended once again because of fading light with the score at 59-59 in the decider.
It's already the longest match in tennis history at 10 hours but the 7 hour, 6 minute fifth set alone was enough to break the old record of 6 hours, 33 minutes set at the 2004 French Open. The on-court scoreboard (above) even broke down while the online Slam Tracker reset itself to 0-0 once the score hit 50-50.
Seriously, I can't believe a match at Wimby that has stretched over 3 days has nothing to do with rain. WTH?
So what was it like watching every minute of this battle of attrition live on TV? Well, I can only compare the experience to what it's like staring at a JJ outfit: I desperately wanted to look away but I kept being drawn back to the insanity of it all.
Now I need to see the ending. I must see the ending. Nothing will be complete in my tennis life until this thing ends.

Isn't this borderline dangerous? Especially for someone as tall as John? I don't know but watching how pooped those two looked I was getting scared.ReplyDelete

Whoever wins, I give a standing ovation to both of them. This is incredible. It's sad that one of them has to lose, I wish there could be a tie, because they both deserve to win.ReplyDelete
Isner looked past his end point while Mahut was seemed amazingly fresh and energized though, strangely, he was the one who wanted to stop play.ReplyDelete
In any case, kudos to both for the tremendous mental fortitude and physical stamina it took to get this far. It boggles my mind that this match is a FIRST ROUNDER. Unbelievable.
Like meli said, it's a shame someone has to lose. Can't they give a Week 1 title???
it is true, the word 'epic' was invented for this game. This kind of game is what makes sport exciting and i can't wait to watch again today.ReplyDelete

This soup is delicious *and* easy to make! I used a fire-roasted corn salsa instead of the Taco Bell stuff. Topped it with sour cream, shredded cheese, and tri-colored tortilla strips. Soooo delicious!
This soup was wonderful! I have made this twice now. Once when my parents came into town. I wanted a quick and easy meal for when we got home from picking them up at the airport. I was able to make this in the early afternoon and paired it with quesadillas. The second time I made this was a few weeks later for my neighbors after her father passed away. The whole family loved it including her two teenage kids. I was worried since the looks of this soup is pretty "intense", but the flavor is just wonderful.
I have made this several times. It's delicious and sooooo easy!

All year, Sammamish (Wash.) Skyline quarterback Max Browne and Murrieta (Calif.) Vista Murrieta safety Su'a Cravens battled for the top spot in the West 150.
When it was all said and done, Cravens ended up number one, with his fellow USC commit Browne right behind him.
Cravens, the top-ranked safety in the country by Scout.com and Browne, the top-ranked quarterback in the country, are the top defensive prospect and offensive prospect respectively in the West.
In the end, the West had four offensive prospects in the top ten and six on defense.
Just behind Cravens and Browne is Auburn (Calif.) Placer defensive tackle Eddie Vanderdoes, the third Top 10 ranked player in the country, and the #2-ranked defensive tackle in the nation.
Running backs round out the top five, with Beaverton (Ore.) Aloha's Thomas Tyner, an Oregon commit, and Stockton (Calif.) Lincoln's Justin Davis, a USC commit, fourth and fifth.
The final five-star from the West is Tempe (Ariz.) Marcos De Niza cornerback Priest Willis, the fourth-ranked cornerback in the country, and the sixth overall prospect in the West.
Finishing up the top ten include Honolulu (Hawaii) Punahou linebacker Isaac Savaiinaea at No. 7, Salt Lake City (Utah) Cottonwood quarterback and Alabama commit Cooper Bateman at No. 8, Mission Viejo (Calif.) safety and Notre Dame pledge Max Redfield at No. 9 and Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) safety and UCLA verbal Tahaan Goodman at No. 10.
Here is a look at Scout.com's final Class of 2013 West 150.

Hackathon 2011!
We've still got a little hacking time left in the 2011 Horde Hackathon, but we're about to relax for dinner for a bit, so now is a good time to wrap up some of the things that have been accomplished already:
- We have a plan for making the Horde UI consistent between all applications and application views, as well as to make it look much better. Also to reduce the number of views we maintain, hopefully increasing our developer productivity
- Some really snazzy automated updates coming for the demo server
- The develop branch of nag now supports ajax completion of tasks, creating tasks, and basic viewing of tasks
- Trean finally has a migration from folders to tags, with basic working functionality for viewing bookmarks with tags. This was on my list FOREVER.
- Lots of good discussion about how we fit into the larger PHP and groupware ecosystem
- New timezone support from Jan
- New weather support to replace the now-commercial weather.com feed
- New documentation tools
... and almost certainly a ton more that is slipping my mind right now. Going to miss everyone once we head our separate ways again tomorrow, but hopefully the momentum will keep up, and I'm really looking forward to next year!

Dreamweaver with PHP and MySQL
Join author David Gassner as he describes how to add dynamic data to a PHP-enabled web site in Adobe Dreamweaver. This intermediate course shows how to plan and create a MySQL database, define a PHP-enabled site in Dreamweaver, connect the site to the database, and manage and present dynamic data. David also explores Dreamweaver features such as PHP custom class introspection and site-specific code hinting as well as the differences between the CS5 and CS6 versions of the software.
This course was updated on 6/12/2012.
- Understanding dynamic versus static content
- Adding PHP commands to web pages
- Setting and outputting variables
- Using server-side includes
- Creating PHP custom classes
- Adding the Zend Framework to a PHP installation
- Creating a MySQL database
- Adding data in phpMyAdmin
- Building recordsets
- Formatting dynamic data
- Building data entry forms
- Authenticating users
- Deploying a dynamic site
- Subjects:
- Business Developer Web
- Software:
- Dreamweaver
- Author:
- David Gassner
Hi! My name is David Gassner and I'd like to welcome you to Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP and MySQL. For many web site developers who have learned how to build simple web sites with HTML and CSS, the next step is to add dynamic capabilities with application servers and databases. Dreamweaver CS5 offers powerful support for integrating one of the most popular combinations of such software, PHP and MySQL. In this video series, I'll show you how to use Dreamweaver CS5's new PHP code hinting capabilities.
Then I'll describe how to generate PHP code that connects to MySQL, retrieves and displays data from the server, and inserts, updates, and deletes data based on information provided by a web site visitor, and show you how to authenticate your site visitors and provide access to your web pages on an as needed basis. This video series is designed for developers who are already comfortable with the basic building blocks of all web sites. I hope it will help you jumpstart your knowledge and use of advanced tools, the PHP application server, and language and the MySQL database, and help you quickly create the code you need to integrate these tools into your own web sites.
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about Dreamweaver with PHP and MySQL .
Here are the FAQs that matched your search "" :
- Q: The Bindings panel is disabled, and I can't create new queries or form variables in the current PHP file. How can I correct this problem?
- A: This indicates that the file you have open isn't a part of your current site. For example, you might have opened a file from one site, then switched sites and tried to continue working on the same file. Try closing all files, then opening the file you want to work on from the Files panel. This ensures that the current file and site are in sync.
- Q: I'm having trouble getting code hinting to work on Mac OS X. Are there know issues that could be causing the issues?
- A: There might be an issue with your code hinting configuration. Make sure the folders you designated in the code hinting config screen match the disk location where you copied the Zend Framework files. You should have a file named dw_php_codehinting.config in your site root folder after setting up your code hinting configuration. Assuming you copied the Zend Framework files to a folder on your Mac named /phpincludes, the contents of the file might be: "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/phpincludes/ZendFramework/library/Zend/Date" EXTENSIONS(.php) "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/phpincludes/ZendFramework/library/Zend" EXTENSIONS(.php). The exact path will differ depending on your hard disk name and the folder to which you copied Zend Framework. For subsequent exercises in the video series, the sample files provided with the course have the configuration for Windows as demonstrated in the videos. Once you get code hinting working in one exercise, you can copy the working dw_php_codehinting.config file from the current site folder into the new site folder.
- Q: I'm following along in the video "Configuring a PHP testing server." When I go to preview the index.htm or .php files, I don't get the Dependent Files dialog box, and I get the page in my browser with just the HTML and no styling. The index file gets copied to the proper folder, but none of the dependent files are getting copied over. How can I resolve this issue?
- A: If you are experiencing this problem, check your settings in Dreamweaver. The prompts for putting files onto the server have most likely been turned off. Follow these steps: 1) On Windows, select Edit > Preferences. 2) In the Preferences dialog, select the Site category. 3) Make sure your options for Dependent Files (prompt on get/check out, and prompt on put/check in) are selected. 4) Make sure your Put and Move options are selected (located at the bottom of the screen). 5) Then try previewing the file again. The dialogs should appear.
- Q: I am having a problem with the "Handling form submission with PHP" video in Chapter 6. When I create a form variable "firstname" in the the Binding panel, in the Simpleform2.php file, I don't see the new variable in the list afterwards. It's as if the panel is disabled. What's going on?
- A: Some users have reported that this problem can be corrected by deleting a file named ".mno" from the site folder's _notes subfolder. The file is hidden, so you won't see it in Finder on Mac or Explorer on Windows. Note that there might be many files in the _notes subfolder with the .mno extension, but you only need to delete the file with no name and just the extension.
Follow these steps to delete the file:
Open a command window
Switch to the site folder
Type these commands:
cd _notes
attrib -H .mno (this removes the hidden flag from the file)
del .mno (this deletes the file)
Mac OS X:
Open Terminal
Switch to the site folder
cd _notes
ls -a .mno (if the file is there, this command will show it)
rm .mno (this deletes the file)
- Q: I want to use the Zend Framework in my PHP site, but my internet service provider (ISP) doesn't let me modify the php.ini file to include the files as taught in the course. What can I do?
- A: If your host doesn't let you make changes to your php.ini file, you can include the Zend Framework with one of these strategies:
- Copy the Zend Framework to the folder containing your web site files. In your PHP pages, your 'include' command can refer to the appropriate files with relative directory addressing:
<?php include('../ZendFramework/library/Zend/Date.php'); ?
- If your shared host provides a special directory to contain your web files (for example, it might be named 'www' or 'web'), then you can add the Zend Framework files to your root folder as a sibling to the web folder. You'll need to find out the physical folder name; PHP's $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] variable can help you find this:
<?php echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; ?
You can then programmatically modify the include_path variable at runtime with the set_include_path() function. For example, if your physical root folder is /home/myroot, the code might look like this:
<?phpset_include_path('.' . PATH_SEPARATOR .'/home/myroot/ZendFramework/library/Zend');include('Date.php');?
- Q: This course was updated on 6/12/2012. What changed?
- A: This course was updated to show the minor UI differences between Dreamweaver CS5 and CS6, especially the change from separate Live Code/Live View buttons to a single Live button.
- Q: phpMyAdmin is not opening properly in the second lesson in Chapter 4, "Creating a MySQL database in phpMyAdmin." The error message says:
#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)
- A: The error indicates that there's an incorrect reference to the MySQL 'sockets' file. This is set automatically during WampServer installation, but if you've previously installed other copies of MySQL there can be some leftover conflicts (even if you've uninstalled the other copies).
Check your system for duplicate copies of the file 'my.ini' - it's a MySQL configuration file that might have been left around from a previous installation. The most likely folder in which to look is c:\windows\System32, but it could also be elsewhere. If you find any such files that aren't in the c:\wamp directory structure, rename or delete them, then reboot your system.
If that isn't the issue, you'll need to start from scratch: back up your working files from c:\wamp\www, then uninstall WampServer, delete the c:\wamp folder completely, and reboot and reinstall. Test phpMyAdmin immediately after installation. Then, if it stops working along the way you'll have better information about what steps might have cause the issue.

Cortical and Biomechanical Dynamics of Ankle Robotics Training in Stroke (AbotMot)
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Reduced mobility and increased fall risk are significant long-term health problems facing those who have persistent weakness or paralysis in their legs resulting from stroke. Recent innovations in post-stroke therapy have applied motor learning principles to improve motor skills through regular practice of activities using the weaker limb. Because the ankle is so critical in providing forces for normal walking and balance function, impairments at the affected ankle pose a major limitation to achieving optimal rehabilitation outcomes. To address this we have developed a novel ankle robot (Anklebot) to enhance physical therapy for improving walking and balance functions after stroke. It is a computer controlled exercise machine that can be worn during walking or in a seated position for practice with video games. The Anklebot controllers allow for assisting users when they cannot complete a movement, or resisting movement, or simply recording movements and forces.
Passive movement therapy has shown promise in exciting brain to muscle connections for recovery of walking function; however it does not appear to yield optimal results, suggesting that active involvement in task-oriented therapy is essential. Not only is voluntary movement important to initiate this excitation, the brain mechanisms of reward and motivation play an important role. These mechanisms have been widely studied in both humans and animals. Core brain networks involved in reward and motivation are designed to increase a person's involvement with their surroundings, to focus attention and to prompt one to approach reward and avoid punishers. These increases in involvement and the elevated emotions that are part of it have been shown to enhance performance, memory and learning.
The primary purpose of this pilot study is to investigate responses of brain and muscle activity in stroke patients who use the Anklebot during a 3-week / 3-session/week motor learning based training. These responses will be compared to a 3-week delayed entry period in which the participants will perform an at-home walking program equal in time spent to the time they will spend on the Anklebot during the 3-week / 3x/week training. In Addition, after the 3-week delayed entry walking program the subjects will be divided into low and high reward-feedback groups. The low reward-feedback group will receive the Anklebot training with only immediate feedback (they will know if they succeeded on the current trial but they will never know their cumulative score and they will receive minimal social interaction with research team members. While the high-reward feedback group will know their cumulative scores, will receive controlled but abundant social interaction with the research team and will be eligible for prizes of restaurant and movie coupons during individual training sessions and at completion of the study. This will be done to assess the ability of higher reward conditions to increase recovery beyond that of the Anklebot training alone.
To accomplish this subjects with chronic stroke will be divided into the high and low-reward/feedback groups and will then play a series of videogames using the Anklebot, as we noninvasively record brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG) and muscle activity using electromyography (EMG). We will also monitor heart rate using electrocardiograms (ECG). In addition to analyzing brain and muscle information before, during, and after the Anklebot training, we will also assess walking and balance functions immediately before and after the first and last robotic training session and ask the subjects to fill out some standardized questionnaires.

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - About 350 people turned out in Arlington for what became a noisy forum on a proposed street car line.
Opponents say a bus system would do nearly the same job and be as much as $200 million cheaper than the proposed $250 million dollar line between Baileys Crossroads and Pentagon City.
County staff and four of the five elected county board members said the streetcar is needed along Columbia Pike because it can carry about twice as many passengers as a bus. And they noted that population estimates show 14,000 new apartments and condos will be built in the area in the next decade or two.
Others complained Columbia Pike recently went through renovation and the project would bring even more construction work to the area.

Empire Biscuit
198 Ave. A., 646-682-9529, East Village, Manhattan
Just when you thought all the genius ideas were taken, along comes Empire Biscuit, a modern design of a café open 24 hours and singularly focused on Southerners' favorite carb. All the bases are covered here, with "Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner-Drunk" emblazoned on the window and on the menu, specifying when (and in what state) you can satisfy your cravings for such savory fare; the fillings range from foie gras butter to Benton's bacon, egg and cheddar. That egg is normally served runny, oozing into the biscuit's crevices, but they'll scramble it up if you'd prefer. The homesick may weep over the good biscuits and gravy and then find strength to go on thanks to a jolt of fortifying Blue Bottle coffee. The clever partners behind Empire are restaurant vets Jonathan Price and Yonadav Tsuna, who met waiting tables at Bouley. They are continually pushing the biscuit's envelope, crafting combinations featuring red pepper and jalapeño jelly, pimento cheese and even one stuffed with the elements of banana cream pie.

San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - Damien Brunner scored the winner in the
shootout to help the Detroit Red Wings take a 2-1 victory over the San Jose
Sharks on Thursday.
Brunner was the second shooter for the Red Wings and he beat Antti Niemi clean
with a wrister under the glove. Ryane Clowe had the last chance for San Jose
and he missed the net with his high shot.
Patrick Eaves scored the only goal while Jonas Gustavsson got his first win of
the season thanks to a 25-save performance for the Red Wings, who have won
three of their last four.
Logan Couture scored the lone goal of the game for the Sharks, who have lost
three of four. Niemi had 33 stops in the loss.
