"Jean Auel has performed a minor miracle."
San Francisco Chronicle
The naked child ran out of the hide-covered lean-to toward the rocky beach at the bend in the small river. It didn't occur to her to look back. Nothing in her experience ever gave her reason to doubt the shelter and those within it would be there when she returned.
She splashed into the river and felt rocks and sand shift under her feet as the shore fell off sharply. She dived into the cold water and came up sputtering, then reached out with sure strokes for the steep opposite bank. She had learned to swim before she learned to walk and, at five, was at ease in the water. Swimming was often the only way a river could be crossed.
The girl played for a while, swimming back and forth, then let the current float her downstream. Where the river widened and bubbled over rocks, she stood up and waded to shore, then walked back to the beach and began sorting pebbles. She had just put a stone on top of a pile of especially pretty ones when the earth began to tremble.
The child looked with surprise as the stone rolled down of its own accord, and stared in wonder at the small pyramid of pebbles shaking and leveling themselves. Only then did she become aware she was shaking too, but she was still more confused than apprehensive. She glanced around, trying to understand why her universe had altered in some inexplicable way. The earth was not supposed to move.
The small river, which moments before had flowed smoothly, was roiling with choppy waves that splashed over its banks as the rocking streambed moved at cross purposes to the current, dredging mud up from the bottom. Brush close by the upstream banks quivered, animated by unseen movement at the roots, and downstream, boulders bobbed in unaccustomed agitation. Beyond them, stately conifers of the forest into which the stream flowed lurched grotesquely. A giant pine near the bank, its roots exposed and their hold weakened by the spring runoff, leaned toward the opposite shore. With a crack, it gave way and crashed to the ground, bridging the turbid watercourse, and lay shaking on the unsteady earth.
The girl started at the sound of the falling tree. Her stomach churned and tightened into a knot as fear brushed the edge of her mind. She tried to stand but fell back, unbalanced by the sickening swaying. She tried again, managed to pull herself up, and stood unsteadily, afraid to take a step.
As she started toward the hide-covered shelter set back from the stream, she felt a low rumble rise to a terrifying roar. A sour stench of wetness and rot issued from a crack opening in the ground, like the reek of morning breath from a yawning earth. She stared uncomprehendingly at dirt and rocks and small trees falling into the widening gap as the cooled shell of the molten planet cracked in the convulsion.
The lean-to, perched on the far edge of the abyss, tilted, as half the solid ground beneath it pulled away. The slender ridgepole teetered undecidedly, then collapsed and disappeared into the deep hole, taking its hide cover and all it contained with it. The girl trembled in wide-eyed horror as the foul-breathed gaping maw swallowed everything that had given meaning and security to the five short years of her life.
"Mother! Motherrr!" she cried as comprehension overwhelmed her. She didn't know if the scream ringing in her ears was her own in the thunderous roar of rending rock. She clambered toward the deep crack, but the earth rose up and threw her down. She clawed at the ground, trying to find a secure hold on the heaving, shifting land.
Then the gap closed, the roar ceased, and the shaking earth stilled, but not the child. Lying face down on the soft damp soil churned loose by the paroxysm that convulsed the land, she shook with fear. She had reason to fear.
The child was alone in a wilderness of grassy steppes and scattered forests. Glaciers spanned the continent on the north, pushing their cold before them. Untold numbers of grazing animals, and the carnivores that preyed on them, roamed the vast prairies, but people were few. She had nowhere to go and she had no one who would come and look for her. She was alone.
The ground quivered again, settling itself, and the girl heard a rumbling from the depths, as though the earth were digesting a meal gulped in a single bite. She jumped up in panic, terrified that it would split again. She looked at the place where the lean-to had been. Raw earth and uprooted shrubs were all that remained. Bursting into tears, she ran back to the stream and crumpled into a sobbing heap near the muddy water.
But the damp banks of the stream offered no refuge from the restless planet. Another aftershock, this time more severe, shuddered the ground. She gasped with surprise at the splash of cold water on her naked body. Panic returned; she sprang to her feet. She had to get away from this terrifying place of shaking, devouring earth, but where could she go?
There was no place for seeds to sprout on the rocky beach and it was clear of brush, but the upstream banks were choked with shrubs just sending forth new leaves. Some deep instinct told her to stay near water, but the tangled brambles looked impenetrable. Through wet eyes that blurred her vision, she looked the other way at the forest of tall conifers.
Thin beams of sunlight filtered through the overlapping branches of dense evergreens crowding close to the stream. The shaded forest was nearly devoid of undergrowth, but many of the trees were no longer upright. A few had fallen to the ground; more leaned at awkward angles, supported by neighbors still firmly anchored. Beyond the jumble of trees, the boreal forest was dark and no more inviting than the brush upstream. She didn't know which way to go, and glanced first one way, then the other with indecision.
A tremble beneath her feet while she was looking downstream set her in motion. Casting one last yearning look at the vacant landscape, childishly hopeful that somehow the lean-to would still be there, she ran into the woods.
Urged on by occasional grumbling as the earth settled, the child followed the flowing water, stopping only to drink in her hurry to get far away. Conifers that had succumbed to the quaking earth lay prostrate on the ground and she skirted craters left by the circular tangle of shallow root moist soil and rocks still clinging to their exposed undersides.
She saw less evidence of disturbance toward evening, fewer uprooted trees and dislodged boulders, and the water cleared. She stopped when she could no longer see her way and sank down on the forest floor, exhausted. Exercise had kept her warm while she was moving, but she shivered in the chill night air, burrowed into the thick carpet of fallen needles and curled up in a tight little ball, throwing handfuls over herself for a cover.
But as tired as she was, sleep did not come easily to the frightened little girl. While busy making her way around obstacles near the stream, she was able to push her fear to the back of her mind. Now, it overwhelmed her. She lay perfectly still, eyes wide open, watching the darkness thicken and congeal around her. She was afraid to move, almost afraid to breathe.
She had never been alone at night before, and there had always been a fire to hold the black unknown at bay. Finally, she could hold back no longer. With a convulsive sob, she cried out her anguish. Her small body shook with sobs and hiccups, and with the release she eased into sleep. A small nocturnal animal nosed her in gentle curiosity, but she wasn't aware of it.
She woke up screaming!
The planet was still restless, and distant rumbling from deep within brought back her terror in a horrifying nightmare. She jerked up, wanted to run, but her eyes could see no more wide-open than they could behind closed lids. She couldn't remember where she was at first. Her heart pounded; why couldn't she see? Where were the loving arms that had always been there to comfort her when she woke in the night? Slowly the conscious realization of her plight seeped back into her mind and, shivering with fear and cold, she huddled down and burrowed into the needle-carpeted ground again. The first faint streaks of dawn found her asleep.
Daylight came slowly to the depths of the forest. When the child awoke it was well into the morning, but in the thick shade it was difficult to tell. She had wandered away from the stream as daylight faded the previous evening, and an edge of panic threatened as she looked around her at nothing but trees.
Thirst made her aware of the sound of gurgling water. She followed the sound and felt relieved when she saw the small river again. She was no less lost near the stream than she was in the forest, but it made her feel better to have something to follow, and she could quench her thirst as long as she stayed near it. She had been glad enough for the flowing water the day before, but it did little for her hunger.
She knew greens and roots could be eaten, but she didn't know what was edible. The first leaf she tasted was bitter and stung her mouth. She spit it out and rinsed her mouth to remove the taste, but it made her hesitant to try another. She drank more water for the temporary feeling of fullness and started downstream again. The deep woods frightened her now and she stayed close to the stream where the sun was bright. When night fell, she dug a place out of the needled ground and curled up in it again.
Her second night alone was no better than her first. Cold terror lay in the pit of her stomach along with her hunger. She had never been so terrified, she had never been so hungry, she had never been so alone. Her sense of loss was so painful, she began to block out the memory of the earthquake and her life before it; and thoughts of the future brought her so close to panic, she fought to push those fears from her mind as well. She didn't want to think about what might happen to her, who would take care of her.
She lived only for the moment, getting past the next obstacle, crossing the next tributary, scrambling over the next log. Following the stream became an end in itself, not because it would take her anywhere, but because it was the only thing that gave her any direction, any purpose, any course of action. It was better than doing nothing.
After a time, the emptiness in her stomach became a numb ache that deadened her mind. She cried now and then as she plodded on, her tears painting white streaks down her grubby face. Her small naked body was caked with dirt; and hair that had once been nearly white, and as fine and soft as silk, was plastered to her head in a tangle of pine needles, twigs, and mud.
Traveling became more difficult when the evergreen forest changed to more open vegetation and the needle-covered forest floor gave way to obstructing brush, herbs, and grasses, the characteristic ground cover beneath small-leafed deciduous trees. When it rained, she huddled in the lee of a fallen log or large boulder or overhanging outcrop, or simply slogged through the mud letting the rain wash over her. At night, she piled dry brittle leaves left over from the previous season's growth into mounds and crawled into them to sleep.
The plentiful supply of drinking water kept dehydration from making its dangerous contribution to hypothermia, the lowering of body temperature that brought death from exposure, but she was getting weak. She was beyond hunger; there was only a constant dull pain and an occasional feeling of light-headedness. She tried not to think about it, or about anything except the stream, just following the stream.
Sunlight penetrating her nest of leaves woke her. She got up from the snug pocket warmed by her body heat and went to the river for a morning drink, damp leaves still clinging to her. The blue sky and sunshine were welcome after the rain of the day before. Shortly after she started out, the bank on her side of the river gradually began to rise. By the time she decided to stop for another drink, a steep slope separated her from the water. She started down carefully but lost her footing and tumbled all the way to the bottom.
She lay in a scraped and bruised heap in the mud near the water, too tired, too weak, too miserable to move. Large tears welled up and streamed down her face, and plaintive wails rent the air. No one heard. Her cries became whimpers begging someone to come and help her. No one came. Her shoulders heaved with sobs as she cried her desperation. She didn't want to get up, she didn't want to go on, but what else could she do? Just stay there crying in the mud?
After she stopped crying, she lay near the water's edge. When she noticed a root beneath her jabbing uncomfortably in her side and the taste of dirt in her mouth, she sat up. Then, wearily, she stood up and went to the stream for a drink. She started walking again, doggedly pushing aside branches, crawling over moss-covered logs, splashing in and out of the edge of the river.
The stream, already high from earlier spring floods, had swelled to more than double from tributaries. The child heard a roar in the distance long before she saw the waterfall cascading down the high bank at the confluence of a large stream with the small river, a river about to double again. Beyond the waterfall, the swift currents of the combined watercourse bubbled over rocks as it flowed into the grassy plains of the steppes.
The thundering cataract rushed over the lip of the high bank in a broad sheet of white water. It splashed into a foaming pool worn out of the rock at the base, creating a constant spray of mist and whirlpools of countercurrents where the rivers met. At some time in the distant past, the river had carved deeper into the hard stone cliff behind the waterfall. The ledge over which the water poured jutted out beyond the wall behind the falling stream, forming a passageway between.
The girl edged in close and looked carefully into the damp tunnel, then started behind the moving curtain of water. She clutched at the wet rock to steady herself as the continuous falling, falling, falling of the flowing stream made her dizzy. The roar was deafening, rebounding from the stone wall in back of the tumultuous flow. She looked up fearfully, anxiously aware that the stream was above the dripping rocks over her head, and crept forward slowly.
She was nearly to the other side when the passageway ended, gradually narrowing until it was a steep wall again. The undercut in the cliff did not go all the way; she had to turn around and go back. When she reached her starting place, she looked at the torrent surging over the edge and shook her head. There was no other way.
The water was cold as she waded into the river, and the currents strong. She swam out to the middle and let the flow of the water carry her around the falls, then angled back to the bank of the widened river beyond. The swimming tired her, but she was cleaner than she had been for some time, except for her matted and tangled hair. She started out again feeling refreshed, but not for long.
The day was unseasonably warm for late spring, and when the trees and brush first gave way to the open prairie, the hot sun felt good. But as the fiery ball rose higher, its burning rays took their toll of the small girl's meager reserves. By afternoon, she was staggering along a narrow strip of sand between the river and a steep cliff. The sparkling water reflected the bright sun up at her, while the almost-white sandstone bounced light and heat down, adding to the intense glare.
Across the river and ahead, small herbaceous flowers of white, yellow, and purple, blending into the half-grown grass bright green with new life, extended to the horizon. But the child had no eyes for the fleeting spring beauty of the steppes. Weakness and hunger were making her delirious. She started hallucinating.
"I said I'd be careful, mother. I only swam a little ways, but where did you go?" she muttered. "Mother, when are we going to eat? I'm so hungry, and it's hot. Why didn't you come when I called you? I called and called, but you never came. Where have you been? Mother? Mother! Don't go away again! Stay here! Mother, wait for me! Don't leave me!"
She ran in the direction of the mirage as the vision faded, following the base of the cliff, but the cliff was pulling back from the water's edge, veering away from the river. She was leaving her source of water. Running blindly, she stubbed her toe on a rock and fell hard. It jarred her back to reality almost. She sat rubbing her toe, trying to collect her thoughts.
The jagged sandstone wall was pockmarked with dark holes of caves and streaked with narrow cracks and crevices. Expansion and contraction from extremes of searing heat and subzero cold had crumbled the soft rock. The child looked into a small hole near the ground in the wall beside her, but the tiny cave made little impression.
Far more impressive was the herd of aurochs grazing peacefully on the lush new grass between the cliff and the river. In her blind rush to follow a mirage, she hadn't noticed the huge reddish brown wild cattle, six feet high at the withers with immense curving horns. When she did, sudden fear cleared the last cobwebs from her brain. She backed closer to the rock wall, keeping her eye on a burly bull that had stopped grazing to watch her, then she turned and started running.
She glanced back over her shoulder and caught her breath at a swift blur of movement, and stopped in her tracks. An enormous lioness, twice as large as any feline who would populate savannas far to the south in a much later age, had been stalking the herd. The girl stifled a scream as the monstrous cat vaulted for a wild cow.
In a flurry of snarling fangs and savage claws, the giant lioness wrestled the massive aurochs to the ground. With a crunch of powerful jaws, the terrified bawl of the bovine was cut short as the huge carnivore tore out its throat. Spurting blood stained the muzzle of the four-legged hunter and sprayed her tawny fur with crimson. The aurochs's legs jerked spasmodically even as the lioness ripped open its stomach and tore out a chunk of warm, red meat.
Stark terror charged through the girl. She fled in wild panic, carefully watched by another of the great cats. The child had stumbled into the territory of cave lions. Normally the large felines would have disdained so small a creature as a five-year-old human as prey, preferring a robust aurochs, oversize bison, or giant deer to satisfy the needs of a pride of hungry cave lions. But the fleeing child was approaching much too near to the cave that housed a pair of mewling newborn cubs.
Left to guard the young while the lioness hunted, the shaggy-maned lion roared in warning. The girl jerked her head up and gasped at the gigantic cat crouched on a ledge, ready to spring. She screamed, slid to a stop, falling and scraping her leg in the loose gravel near the wall, and scrambled to turn around. Spurred on by even greater fear, she ran back the way she had come.
The cave lion leaped with languid ease, confident of his ability to catch the small interloper who dared to broach the sanctity of the cave nursery. He was in no hurry she moved slowly compared with his fluid speed and he was in the mood for a game of cat and mouse.
In her panic, it was only instinct that led her to the small hole near the ground in the face of the cliff. Her side aching, and gasping for breath, she squeezed through an opening barely big enough for her. It was a tiny, shallow cave, not much more than a crack. She twisted around in the cramped space until she was kneeling with her back to the wall, trying to melt into the solid rock behind her.
The cave lion roared his frustration when he reached the hole and found his chase thwarted. The child trembled at the sound and stared in hypnotized horror as the cat snaked his paw, sharp curved claws outstretched, into the small hole. Unable to get away, she watched the claw come at her and shrieked in pain as it sunk into her left thigh, raking it with four deep parallel gashes.
The girl squirmed to get out of his reach and found a small depression in the dark wall to her left. She pulled her legs in, scrunched up as tight as she could, and held her breath. The claw slowly entered the small opening again, nearly blocking the scant light that penetrated the niche, but this time found nothing. The cave lion roared and roared as he paced back and forth in front of the hole.
The child remained in the small cramped cave through the day, that night, and most of the following day. The leg swelled and the festering wound was a constant pain, and the small space inside the rough-walled cave had little room to turn or stretch out. She was delirious most of the time from hunger and pain and dreamed terrifying nightmares of earthquakes, and sharp claws, and lonely aching fear. But it wasn't her wound or her hunger or even her painful sunburn that finally drove her from her refuge. It was thirst.
She looked fearfully out of the small opening. Sparse stands of wind-stunted willow and pine near the river cast long shadows of early evening. The child stared at the grass-covered stretch of land and the sparkling water beyond for a long time before gathering up enough courage to move beyond the entrance. She licked cracked lips with a parched tongue as she scanned the terrain. Only the windswept grass moved. The lion pride was gone. The lioness, anxious for her young and uneasy about the unfamiliar scent of the strange creature so near their cave, decided to find a new nursery.
The child crept out of the hole and stood up. Her head throbbed and spots danced dizzily before her eyes. Waves of pain engulfed her with every step and her wounds began to ooze a sickly yellow green down her swollen leg.
She wasn't sure if she could reach the water, but her thirst was overpowering. She fell to her knees and crawled the last few feet, then stretched out flat on her stomach and gulped greedy mouthfuls of cold water. When her thirst was finally slaked, she tried to stand again, but she had reached the limit of her endurance. Spots swam before her eyes, her head whirled, and everything went dark as she slumped to the ground.
A carrion bird circling lazily overhead spied the unmoving form and swooped lower for a closer look.

There are urls of rss-feeds that (sometimes) don't work in pipes.
For example:
- http://newsfeed.zeit.de/politik/index or
- http://www.linksjugend-solid.de/feed/ or
- http://allfacebook.de/feed/
This Pipe ran successfully but encountered some problems:
warning Error fetching http://allfacebook.de/feed/. Response: OK (200). Error: Invalid XML document. Root cause: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog.
For me this urls seem to be correct. What can I do?
Ooops - I forgot: My pipe in question is: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=77a23b28ff79aaeea6a4e5d5af834c87
to that list. They sometimes work but more often than not throw the same error you show above.
Hello to both of you,
Let's decompose the problem and try to answer it, then I'll give you my thoughts about it. I'll give you a general solution to try out, and ask you a few questions about the uses of your pipes afterwards.
The cases are:
which means the urls are correct, and pipe has no problem fetching them, as they are fetched (though some times only). So first think to check is if there are actually times when the feeds work. I did it for all 3 quoted urls of Eyke Eikin, this is the case.
Next is to analyse the problem: invalid xml document, eg the fetch page is not an rss feed. In my experience this probably caused either by downtime of the server, authentication issues, or rate limits. Second think to check is the actual page indicated by the url when you have an occurrence of the error, so go to the url using your web browser: if there is no problem, it probably isn't a downtime issue, so only two possibilities left. Next, try to fetch the page (not the rss) using pipes, through the XPath fetch page module for example, to have the request can from the same server.
At that point we will be much more aware of what's going on.
A general fix for the 3 potential issues I've highlighted is the use of feedburner (and the likes of), as it will provide a de facto proxy for the feed. Whether to feedburn the sources or the pipe's url depend on the usage you have of the feed you've created, so here come the questions: How many requests per minute/hour/day the pipe has? do you call the same source several times in a single pipe?

text: 000 FXUS63 KICT 262337 AFDICT Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 637 PM CDT THU MAY 26 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 221 PM CDT Thu May 26 2016 Elevated storms quickly developed early this afternoon in an area of strong 850-700mb moisture transport. Around nearly the same time surface based storms developed west of our forecast area on the more traditional dryline. Large scale lift provided by approaching shortwave is allowing for much more widespread convection compared to the last couple of days. With extreme instability, any storm that goes up will have a good chance of producing very large hail. Surface flow today is stronger than last couple of days along with deep layer shear being more robust. Therefore, any surfaced based storm this afternoon or evening will have a chance to produce a tornado with a enhanced risk closer to the warm front/outflow, where winds will be slightly more backed, resulting in strong low level shear. Through 2pm, tornado threat is being mitigated by storms interfering with each other. Going to need a storm to be more isolated to get a longer lived tor this afternoon/evening. Also ran with a flash flood watch through Fri afternoon with several rounds of storms expected and grounds already saturated. Should also see rivers continue to flood along with additional rivers going into flood. As the overnight hours progresses the more widespread convection should push east and northeast on the better 850-700mb moisture. Storms still look like a good bet for Fri as the upper wave takes its time lifting across KS. What is left of the dryline looks to still linger along the SW fringes of the forecast area by Fri afternoon and may provide a focus. In addition, large scale lift will be much better than the last few days which may allow storms to more freely develop in the very unstable airmass. Severe storms will be possible with any storms that develop Fri. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 221 PM CDT Thu May 26 2016 By 18z Sat, the upper wave will be lifting over northeast KS which will push the better convective chances north and east of the forecast area. Still not out of the question to get some storms to develop late Sat night across the southern and southwest portions of the forecast area as the better 850mb moisture starts to roll back to the northeast. Confidence in rain chances starting Sun is very low as we get broad sw flow aloft. While both GFS and ECMWF agree on a northern stream shortwave tracking across the northern Plains, they disagree on the timing, with the ECMWF faster compared to the GFS which leads to low confidence. There is still some suggestion that a weak impulse will track across OK/southern KS Mon into Mon evening which may result in some elevated rain chances. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening) Issued at 631 PM CDT Thu May 26 2016 Main Aviation Hazards: Strong-severe storm potential this evening, and low stratus again late tonight into Friday morning. Most numerous thunderstorm activity through 03z-05z will be mainly northwest of the Kansas Turnpike, where best low-level moisture convergence is indicated. Have tempo TSRA mentioned at RSL, SLN, and HUT Terminals, with VCTS at ICT and CNU. Large hail and very heavy rain will be the main threats. A very moist south- southeasterly boundary layer flow should lead to widespread MVFR/IFR stratus again late tonight into Thursday morning. The ceilings should gradually lift and scatter out around midday Thursday for most of the area. Additional scattered thunderstorms are possible across eastern Kansas again Thursday afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Jay Lethal on WWE
While doing an interview with the Nashville Scene, Jay Lethal was once again asked about his desire to work for WWE. He stated that most wrestling fans got into the business in large part because they were fans of that promotion as a kid. He is no exception. With that in mind, he stated that he would absolutely love to work for a company that is a fan of. However, Lethal also noted that he would be fine if it never happened.

Jay Lethal to GFW
While he has been given a really solid push over the last year, there is still a chance that Jay Lethal could opt to leave for GFW when the opportunity arises. He maintains a good business relationship with Jeff Jarrett, who may end up receiving a better television deal for his promotion than the one that Ring of Honor has. It is being said that Lethal would love to perform for a much bigger audience. ROH still is not shown in every state.

Marpe resigns as USD coach
One of Kathy Marpe's tasks as the now-former women's basketball coach at the University of San Diego will be to remove the collection of letters, pictures and cards from former players that practically litter the door to her office.
The positive feedback and family updates, coming from those who often resisted Marpe's methods and fought her critiques during their playing days, were perhaps Marpe's favorite aspects of the job she held for 25 years until her resignation Monday.
She also took great pride in matching the Toreros against the elite programs of the women's game, whether she felt her team matched up or not. To Marpe, playing at Oklahoma or Kansas would be cherished more in the long run by her players than the end result.
Nowadays, though, her bosses and players have demanded more emphasis on winning. And Marpe's .425 winning percentage proved inadequate for a USD athletic program that expects women's basketball to be one of its flagship sports.
"Certainly I've felt pressure all year," said Marpe, who leaves USD with a 294-398 record. "(Executive director of athletics Ky Snyder) has made it clear, and the board of trustees has made it clear, and (university president Mary Lyons) has made it clear that we are no longer satisfied with just being competitive. When I was hired in 1980, they were looking for teams that would be competitive and represent the university well.
"Once the Jenny Craig (Pavilion opened in 2000), then it's a little different. The stakes were a little higher."
The year before USD opened its 5,100-seat arena, Marpe guided the Toreros into the 2000 NCAA tournament. But in the five years since, her teams have compiled a 52-89 record, including 9-19 this winter. USD enjoyed just eight winning seasons in her tenure.
Marpe was 87-63 in seven seasons as New Mexico's coach before joining the Toreros.
Snyder said Marpe's resignation was not a forced one. When reached last week, however, he admitted, "I don't think any of us are satisfied with where our women's basketball program is right now."
Marpe submitted her resignation to Snyder on Monday, when the two met to talk about the team's future.
Snyder and Marpe met weekly throughout the season to discuss the team. Since last week's meeting, Marpe said she had been mulling her future with the program and that she had spent time last week in her native Minnesota considering her options.
Marpe, who said her resignation was effective Monday, hopes to attain a position within the athletic department, but will have no role in selecting her successor. She said she will push her top assistant, Erik Johnson, for the job. Snyder confirmed Johnson, a UC San Diego graduate who just completed his seventh season with USD, will be a candidate.
According to Marpe, her successor will not find the cupboard bare. The Toreros, who didn't have a senior on this year's team, had four juniors play prominent roles this winter, including All-West Coast Conference honorable mention selection Tiara Harris and Santa Fe Christian graduate Brandi Collato.
"We want to have somebody here who can help us compete for and win the conference championship on a regular basis," Snyder said. "That's a strategic plan for our department, put forth by our president and our board of trustees. … We want to find somebody who can take us to that level."
In her 25 seasons, Marpe took USD to the NCAA tournament twice, losing in the first round both times. After the team was routed at Nebraska in the 1993 tournament, Marpe said the team seemed overwhelmed by the "big-time" atmosphere and vowed to schedule stronger teams to prevent a recurrence.

The Calgary Flames saw improvement from 2012 to 2013. Although the Flames finished the season in practically the same place in the standings, they were significantly more competitive on the ice. Despite the improvement, Calgary still finished 14 points outside of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The key positive take away from the Flames 2013 season was their work ethic, as Calgary simply would not quit, even when clearly outmatched by more talented and more experienced teams. The Flames hope to build off of this culture change and that the added experience gives them a better opportunity to win games in 2014. Once again the keys to the Flames success will fall on defensemen Mark Giordano. Giordano is clearly the team's best player and the leader off the ice as well. He will get help from a legion of young talent that might just be a few years away from becoming stars. Look for the Calgary Flames to give opposing teams trouble with their effort and for them to continue to be on the rise through the next season.
The Calgary Flames went through a trying 2012-13 Season, finishing in 13th place in the Western Conference. Jerome Iginla was traded to the Boston Bruins and keeper Miikka Kiprusoff retired, but the Flames were able to grab David Jones and Shane O'Brien for Alex Tanguay and Corey Sarich in a trade. T.J. Galiardi and Karri Ramo were also brought in via free agency to help Bob Hartley in his first real training camp with the club he manages. The Flames will look at a late-January homestand as a way to make a stand in the Western Conference, including games against the Coyotes, Predators, Blackhawks, Sharks and ending with a game against the Minnesota Wild on February 1st.
The 2010-11 season was one on the upswing for the Calgary Flames. After a slow start that saw them end the first quarter of the year in 14th place, the Flames bounced GM Darryl Sutter and began to win. They didn't make it to the playoffs for the second straight year, but also came a mere three points away from the eighth spot. Can they build on that momentum? Jerome Iginla's 43-goal, 86-point year was his best in recent history, and continuing that will be the crux of any future successes. Bringing back his wingman Alex Tanguay was important, considering the rapport they share. The rest of the forwards— Curtis Glencross, David Moss and Lee Stempniak—all have 20-goal seasons under their belts, so you have to believe when then all the pieces together, the scores will come in bunches. Defensively, it all depends on the maturation of Jay Bouwmeester in relation to the massive contract he got after his stellar play in Florida. If his production can rise and last year's storied defenseman Mark Giordano—who scored 43-points in 2010-11—can continue with the same output, they might be a formidable line and push Calgary back into the playoffs.
The Calgary Flames got off to a hot start last season, but their early spark was extinguished midway through the year and they ended up missing the playoffs. Fans may be expecting a more consistent year this season, but the team returns much of the same roster, so a different result may be hard to find. The Flames offense is centered around Jarome Iginla. The talented right wing will be looking to rebound from an off year where he scored just 32 goals and notching 37 assists. However, Iginla has very little help on the attack. The new acquisition of Alex Tanguay may provide some depth on the offense, and Olli Jokinen will have to be more productive this coming season if the Flames are to make a playoff push. Defensively, Calgary will be looking for solid performances from Jay Bouwmeester and Mark Giordano, both of whom had rather disappointing campaigns in 2009. The duo will be joined by a group of older players, including Raitis Ivanans and Steve Staios, who provide experience but may be beginning to slow down. The same goes for the Flames' goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff, who had a decent season last year with a 2.31 goals against average.
Are the Calgary Flames the best team in hockey heading into the 2009-2010 NHL season? The Flames should compete with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Philly Flyers and LA Kings for that honor this year. Calgary was the #5 seed in the Western Conference last year, but lost 4-2 in the 1st round against the Chicago Blackhawks. Flames team captain Jarome Iginla and Head Coach Brent Sutter are going to make sure Calgary doesn't have an early exit from the 2010 NHL playoffs.

Yesterday I couldn't even spell roadie, now I R one!
Been reading/relying a lot on this forum the last seven months since taking up biking for fun and excercize. ( at the age of 51.) Started with a spontaneous purchase of a comfort style bike, soon bought a nice older fixed frame mountain bike off of Craigslist, and just got home from another Craigslist purchase.
Not positive but I think it is a 2007 model of a Trek 1000. I have been watching both ebay and craigslist since last fall and was not watching for a particular brand, but something that fit and something priced right for my first road bike.
It came with Shimano clipless pedals and shoes that fit. It is obvious that both the bike and shoes are brand new and I believe the guys wife I bought it from who told me he only ever took it on one ride and it has been in their basement ever since.
So, I am pretty happy. I took it strait from their house for what turned out to be a short "adjustment" ride. The weather has had me inside since before Christmas coupled with the fact I am still trying to get over a stomach virus and I pooped out pretty fast.
The clipless pedals, especially considering no instruction at all, came to me pretty fast. I am sure I will like them a lot. I also know it is a matter of time before I get to join "Club Tombo" (sp?) but not today.
Here is a couple of pics.

Software-based energy savings
Instead of patching the modules that regularly wake up the processor, you can simply unload them – of course, this assumes they are not needed.
If you do not need the computer to communicate in the next few minutes, just unload the modules for Bluetooth, WLAN, and Ethernet.
For Bluetooth, check first, by running the hciconfig command, to see whether a Bluetooth device is active.
Then stop the Bluetooth daemon and remove the module (you need to be root to do so):
# /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop # modprobe -r hci_usb
The same thing applies to WLAN adapters. To find out which module handles the wireless connection, run lsmod, and run iwconfig to discover the wireless device's name.
The next two commands down the adapter and unload the module for an Intel 4965AGN WLAN card:
# ifdown wlan0 # modprobe -r iwl4965
If you rely on a wireless connection, why not make use of the WLAN card's power-saving feature. For cards that use the ipw2100 or ipw2200 driver, you can enable the feature with the following command:
# iwpriv wlan0 set_power 7
To discover whether your card supports the set_power option, you can type iwpriv without parameters. More recent WLAN adapters that use the iwl3945 or iwl4965 drivers can be switched to power-saving mode as follows:
# echo 5 > /sys/bus/pci/ drivers/iwl4965/*/power_level
This setting does not affect the connection. The value that follows echo stands for the power-saving mode: 1 saves the least and 5 the most – 6 disables the function.
On our lab system (a Lenovo X61s), I saved around 1.4 watts (which is equivalent to 10 percent) by switching to the power-saving mode.
It might be worth your while to disable USB 1.1 on a notebook. USB mice and other USB 1.1 devices will not work after doing so, but integrated USB 2.0 devices such as touchpads or pointers will continue to provide normal service. To do this, unload the uhci_hcd module. On our lab machine, this reduced overall consumption by a further 10 percent, and it also helped to keep the heat down.
Deep Sleep
Unloading drivers switches off a computer's components individually. And if you will not be using the computer for an extended period of time, you can switch it to suspend mode. Suspend-to-RAM and Suspend-to-Disk typically work fine on more recent hardware. The advantage of saving the session data in RAM is that the computer boots extremely quickly when you need it. On the other hand, Suspend-to-Disk does not consume any power, and it prevents data loss in case of a power outage.
Hard Disk
The hard disk is another major power consumer. Depending on the amount of work it has to do, it would need a fair amount of power if the drive motor runs continuously. Again, this is a component that you can stop: type hdparm -S N /dev/sda. The value N multiplied by five is the inactivity span in seconds, after which the hard disk automatically switches off. A value of 0 disables this feature.
This does not mean that the hard disk automatically stops spinning: Just as in CPU sleep mode, some standard system settings keep on waking up the disk. One reason is the speed at which the kernel writes the disk cache out to the disk. To discover the value for your machine in hundredths of a second, you can check the /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs file.
Set kernel access to 10 minutes with the following command:
# echo 60000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirt y_writeback_centisecs
Assuming your cache is big enough, the system will not even need to trouble the disk to write a file. But remember that buffered data will be lost in case of a power failure.
The syslog daemon can sabotage hard disk sleep mode. It regularly writes logs directly to disk without using the buffer, but you can add a - sign at the start of each entry in your /etc/syslog.conf file to tell the daemon to use the disk cache in the future. Again, remember the danger of data loss in case of power failure.
Mounting Ext3 filesystems with the noatime parameter – or for files that require the atime option, with the nodiratime or relatime parameters – avoids further power-hungry disk accesses [4]. By default, Linux uses the atime parameter when mounting Ext3 filesystems. This tells Linux to log the last file access times and record timestamps at short intervals, which in turn means regular disk access and power consumption.
The developers of Laptop Mode tools [5] advise against using this power-saving feature on desktop PCs: Hard disks for desktops differ from laptop models in that they are designed for non-stop use, but not for being powered on and off at short intervals [6].
The Laptop Mode tools are a big help if you need to enable the kernel's notebook support features and are easily customized by means of a file (see the "Laptop Mode Tools" box). The tool, which you will find in the repositories of many distributions, helps you save power by focusing mainly on the hard disk and its power-saving modes. If necessary, it will change system settings that cause the disk to start unnecessarily.
The tools support a number of additional power-saving options: they automatically enable the power-saving configuration when you switch to battery power and enable the Centrino WLAN adapter power-saving feature, support hibernation in case of a low battery state, start or stop daemons depending on the power supply, and modify the display brightness.

Because it is an issue of such heated debate with no answer or possibility of an answer should we just leave the issue be and choose not to address it further? Or should we make the issue widely known so society is more aware of the role the media can play. Or perhaps we should leave it to the media to publicise that. After all the media does have a strong influence.
Take the late 1980's film Terminator, one of the highest grossing films of the 80's. This means millions of people worldwide have been to see it at the movies, and then most probably, rented it out on video. Have these millions of people gone out and killed their arch enemies? I think not.
However the file Terminator may have inspired, planted the idea, or conceptualised the seed of an idea in someone's mind. And one or, possibly more murders can be associated with the movie Terminator, a certain method of killing perhaps mimicked in a psychos' rage.
Yet isn't it more than likely that the ONLY aspect of the murder affected by Terminator and such films may have been just the technique used. I believe it is more than likely the killer/murderer/stalker would have performed his duties anyway.
I should not single out one form of media alone. News broadcasts, in comparison to films and fictitious TV shows, show us the reality of day to day living. We see footage of car-wreck, murder scenes and hear of graphic telling of ones' untimely demise. We take this information in, absorb it as real life, and perhaps over time become de-sensitised to these effects as we see them on the news.
The news is a medium which is there to present the facts of the events during the day. A real account of what happened. We understand that Brian Naylor, David...

May 28, 2016
Wednesday marked day three in court for Theda Hartzog, 47, who is charged with the Aug. 9, 2002, murder of her husband, the Rev. Mark Hartzog.
Rev. Hartzog was reportedly shot at close range in his office at Stafford Full Gospel Church in the Pleasant Hill Community.
According to investigators, the pastor had reportedly been mowing grass at the church and was discovered by his wife around 11:00 p.m. He had been shot multiple times.
Throughout the morning hours of the trial Wednesday, the 12 member jury was excused as attorneys for both sides and onlookers listened to a tape that was recorded when investigators first questioned Mrs. Hartzog, just hours after the shooting.
While reviewing the tape attorneys for the defendant expressed concerns about how the investigators interpreted Hartzog's statements.
It's possible the case could take all week. If found guilty, Hartzog could face a penalty of up to life in prison.

Inequality Of Opportunity In Brazil
This paper proposes a measure of the contribution of unequal opportunities to earnings inequality. Drawing on the distinction between "circumstance" and "effort" variables in John Roemer's work on equality of opportunity, we associate inequality of opportunities with five observed circumstances which lie beyond the control of the individual-father's and mother's education; father's occupation; race; and region of birth. The paper provides a range of estimates of the importance of these opportunity-forming circumstances in accounting for earnings inequality in one of the world's most unequal countries. We also decompose the effect of opportunities into a direct effect on earnings and an indirect component, which works through the "effort" variables. The decomposition is applied to the distribution of male earnings in urban Brazil, in 1996. The five observed circumstances are found to account for between 10 and 37 percent of the Theil index, depending on cohort and allowing for the possibility of biased coefficient estimates due to unobserved correlates. On average, 60 percent of this impact operates through the direct effect on earnings. Parental education is the most important circumstance affecting earnings, but the occupation of the father and race also play a role.

RE: zella edna peters
do you want me to go buy those other pictures that were all found in the same group? If so, I will do so tomorrow while out. AFter that, I won't be in that vicinity for a while -- It's all the way on the other side of Charlotte and into the neighboring county! But if you want the pictures, I will be glad to make the trip tomorrow. If so could you text me at 980-875-7358, or call me on that number before 11:00 a.m.?
The other pictures did not have names on them but the owner said they were all from the same "batch" and probably belonged to the same family
These two pictures were $2 each and I can probably talk her into $2o r less per picture. I guesstimate 7-8 more pictures.
Then mailing costs?
I love to rescue ancestors for people!
Glad I found a descendant. She was a pretty young girl -- with her dark thick hair in a pompadour,pulled back with a big bow. A high neck white blouse. A beautiful "pocketwatch" pinned to her blouse and a locket around her neck.
Was there a Gaston Church in the area at some point?

I rescued a picture today in Charlotte NC of a
Zella Edna Peters, taken when 14years old. Don't know if this is the same as in this cemetery.
The professional photo was taken in Van Wert Ohio .
If you know family, there were others at the antique store that came from the same "batch" that could be rescued.
I also rescued from that batch a picture of a Reverend Rommel of Gaston Church. I'm not good at guessing time periods from clothing, etc.-- but maybe 1870-90?

RE: William Jones
Hi Karen;
It's a very good question. I for the longest had William T. Jones. All four census records I have list him simply as William Jones. Both Death Records that I have do state William T. Jones. The tombstone says W.M. Jones as you know. I also know that I did get the Melton from somewhere, but don't have all my records with me. His Grandson (The brother of my Grandmother is William Melton Creekmore, however; my Great Uncle William Melton Creekmore [& My Grandmother] Also have a grandfather named William Melton Creekmore (1870-1908) who was married to Louvicy Jane Cox. So the name of my Great Uncle could obviously have come from the Creekmore side of the family. I am more inclined to think that William T. Jones is correct and would love to know what the T. stands for.
Also on the only 2 census records I find her in & on both death records "Permelie Lee Oliver" is listed as Permelia Lee Oliver which makes more sense than essentially PermaLEE LEE Oliver. I think the headstones may be inaccurate, and then people get information from them, and pass it around. I have some ideas, I'll have to look into first, do you know if there is someone still upkeeping the cemetery or archiving records there?
Also I just gave a quick review of records and will need to look much further into it myself. The only record I have of any kind regarding Ambrose & Elizabeth is on the death certificate you mentioned. I've found no other record, including records of Moses B. I did just look over some family trees just for reference and found a Moses Bennett Jones Married to an Elizabeth Meadors, I have no siblings for William Jones so I wouldn't know where to look as of yet for if Margaret married a brother of William's. I will have to look into it further. Are you saying you don't know the spouse, your 2nd Great GrandFather's name as of yet? Also can you guide me to any records of Moses B. Jones & Margaret Peggy Meadors? It does seem we would be kin though doesn't it. I look forward to hearing from you & again thank you for all the work on the memorial ~~

In the media player at right is an illustration of a lift piece I wrote and designed for a U.S. Curling Association fundraising effort.
Note the Courier typeface.
This was deliberate. Courier is historically the stuff of old typewriters and the fabled QWERTY keyboard (which I am using right now).
Until the IBM Selectric—with its changeable type balls—Courier was used for all typed communications—personal and business.
The letter from Pete Fenson looks like he might have "hunt-'n'-pecked" it personally. It is a different typeface from everything else in the package.
It has warmth not found in fonts used in mass print communications—Times and Times Roman.
And it's positively hot in comparison to the stark, cold sans serif faces that are de rigueur in the digital world.
It screams, "This is different! This is really a note from me!"
Courier: The High-Tech Font of Choice
What triggered this column was Slate.com story forwarded to me by subscriber Reg Dougherty. It describes why this ancient, simple font is preferred by computer programmers.
From My Book, Write Everything Right!
This may seem corny, but I prefer old-fashioned Courier type. It has warmth and a personal feel to it, as though the writer pounded each individual letter out on an old office Remington.
Obviously the reader knows your submission was written on a computer. But as the great freelancer Bill Jayme said, "In the marketplace, as in theater, there is indeed a factor at work called 'the willing suspension of disbelief.'"
