Big 12 pregame: Texas wins out by hosting TCU on Thanksgiving
Texas is hosting old friend TCU for a Thanksgiving night football game. In 2013, the Longhorns are hosting Texas Tech on Thanksgiving night.
Turns out, the end of the Texas A&M rivalry is working out nicely for UT. The Longhorns are getting to stay home every Thanksgiving instead of gobbling down some turkey in a College Station hotel.
The UT-A&M spat over the Aggies leaving the Big 12 has ended, for now, all Longhorn-Aggie athletic competition. The Thanksgiving tradition was the major blow.
With only occasional exceptions, UT and A&M played Thanksgiving night or Thanksgiving Friday morning for almost a century.
UT athletic director DeLoss Dodds repeatedly has said he wants to keep alive Texas' Thanksgiving tradition and even wants to host every year, preferably against one of UT's old rivals from the Southwest Conference.
Most schools would prefer not to host a Thanksgiving Day game, so the Big 12 was glad to accommodate the Longhorns.
"It creates a dynamic in the schedule that's a challenge," said Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. "It's easy to make it so they play every Thanksgiving. It's not easy to make it so they play every Thanksgiving at home, which is what they want. So that requires other accommodations.
"But at least in the near term, we think we have it done."
Bowlsby said most schools don't mind hosting a game on the Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving, but "there aren't a lot of schools that want to host on the (Thanksgiving) day."
In the NFL, hosting a Thanksgiving game every year — like Dallas and Detroit — is a huge advantage. It gives those teams an annual 10-day break late in the season, which is beneficial for injury recovery, and it doesn't require a road trip for the short week on the front end.
But in college football, those factors don't come into play. Both TCU and Texas were off last week, and UT and Tech will be off next year the week before Thanksgiving.
TCU coach Gary Patterson is glad to be a holiday guest of the Longhorns.
"I've been watching the A&M-Texas game forever," said Patterson. "For TCU to be part of that game is what we wanted it to be."
TCU hasn't played a Thanksgiving game since 1928. But the Frogs, only one year removed from the low profile of the Mountain West Conference and less than 20 years removed from being left behind in the dissolution of the Southwest Conference, join Texas in having the college football stage to themselves on Thanksgiving night.

We purchased this rug in two different sizes. The larger one settled down nicely...wrinkles are came out. However the smaller one, 8x10, is under the dining room table...the wrinkles will not flatten. We keep tripping over it. Giving it more time, hoping it will get better.

Cerrada, Christian
The development of the Asian American Racial Uplifts Scale is discussed. The range of positive race-related experiences was explored through an analysis of semi-structured interview data from 20 self-identifying Asian and Asian American students. Using constant comparative analysis, six racial uplift themes were delineated: (a) ethnic bonding, (b) overcoming obstacles, (c) globalism, (d) biculturalism, (e) mainstream regard, and (f) cultural bridging. Implications for racial and ethnic minority psychological well-being are discussed.

Forthcoming Telugu romantic-comedy "April Fool" is inspired from commonly known incidents revolving around April Fool's Day, says director Krishnaswamy Srikant.
"The events that lead up to the story in the film are based on commonly known events about April Fool's Day. These incidents make up the story of the film, which revolves around two key characters played by Jagapathi and Bhumika," Srikant told IANS.
"Characters essayed by the lead actors are very important to the setting of the film. Gulshan Grover also has a very important part to play," he added.
G.L. Srinivas has produced the film, which also features Ranadhir, Srushti, Dhanraj and Tagubothu Ramesh.
The film has music by Banti and cinematography by Tanikella Rajendra Prasad. Currently in the post-production phase, it is likely to hit theatres Jan 25.

Based on The Matchmaker by Thornton Wilder
Directed by Richard Repetta
This musical adaption of Thornton Wilder's The Matchmaker has won multiple Tony awards and is widely regarded as one of Broadway's most enduring hits. Crafty, meddling Dolly Gallagher Levi is charged with finding a suitable wife for the upright, respectable Horace Vandergelder. But she quickly decides to take matters into her own hands and keep him for herself, and Dolly sets out to scheme and sing her way into Horace's hard heart all over New York.

I have been making these cookies since 2003 before the recipe was even rated. Because I love the taste of almond extract and raspberries together it sounded like the perfect recipe. Everywhere I take these cookies people cannot stop eating them. This is the best recipe ever; I give them as gifts during the holidays, take them to church activities or luncheons, etc., and these cookies are always a HIT!!! When I get ready to leave and retrieve my plate, it is always empty. Thanks so much for sharing such a great recipe!
I have made these same cookies for years! they are outstanding! Everyone who tries them, loves them. I make huge tins at christmas for gifts, for baking disabled friends.

Tajikistan's government is on a constant mission to curb the rise of radical Islam. Experts warn that there is little point trying to prevent extremist ideas from taking hold without a better understanding of why young people are drawn to them.
They also say the government should try educating young people to prevent them being radicalised, rather than just punishing them when it is too late.
Restrictions on religious practice introduced in recent years include last year's ban on minors attending mosques during school time, an end to the use of loudspeakers to amplify the call to prayer in the capital Dushanbe, and the installation of CCTV cameras at all mosques in the city.
Legislation passed in June bars religious organisations from establishing contact with faith groups abroad and make it illegal to study in Islamic centres in other countries unless the Tajik authorities are informed in advanced.
Late last year, the authorities launched a campaign to get Tajik nationals attending madrassas (religious schools) and Islamic universities in countries like Pakistan, Iran and Egypt to come back home. This was prompted by an August 2011 speech in which President Imomali Rahmon warned parents that their children could be led astray onto the "road to terrorism and religious extremism". (See Tajikistan: Islamic Students Told to Come Home.)
A 16-year-old from Dushanbe told IWPR he goes to the mosque regularly. His friends often get picked up in police raids, but he escapes their attention because he has a beard and sits among the men.
"My friends... were taken to a police station. Then their parents were summoned and made to sign statements. Only then were they released," he said. "But even after that, we didn't stop going to the mosque."
The young man said that during the academic year, teachers from his school were on patrol outside mosques to check which of their pupils were attending.
Despite his parents asking him not to, he said he still liked going to the mosque - the sermons contained positive messages, and it was not as if he and his friends were misbehaving.
With the end of Soviet rule in Tajikistan, Islam saw a revival in Tajikistan. Missionaries and funding for new mosques flowed in, and Tajiks used their new-found freedom to pursue Islamic studies abroad.
The Islamic Rebirth Party opposed the government in a civil war that lasted until 1997, but then became Central Asia's only legal, parliamentary Islamic party.
Tilav Rasulzade, a journalist from northern Tajikistan who writes on religious affairs, said the first post-Soviet generation of clerics now preaching in the mosques were not very well informed, and many had been influenced by ideas from other places.
"Those [Middle Eastern] countries practice a kind of Islam that doesn't fit with the policies of our state. When they return, they fill young people with the same ideas that they learned in those countries. That leads to extremism."
Umed Faizullo, a 24-year-student in the capital Dushanbe, said young people were easily led.
"They read four pages, learn four suras [Koranic verses] and think that's Islam," he said.
The government is concerned about the arrival of groups preaching fundamentalism and in some cases subversion, as opposed to the forms of Sunni Islam traditionally practiced in Tajikistan.
It has outlawed the Hizb ut-Tahrir party, Jamaat Tabligh, the Salafi movement, as well as Jamaat Ansarullah, an offshoot of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, IMU, an armed group based in Pakistan and Afghanistan with Taleban and al-Qaeda links. Members of these groups are regularly arrested, tried and imprisoned.
"Young people who join such groups are under foreign control and start trying to fight against the state," Rasulzade said.
He and Faizullo agree that desperate poverty and lack of knowledge make young men in the countryside particularly susceptible to radicalisation.
"Young people in the towns are better informed about the various radical trends, but that isn't the case in rural areas," Faizullo said. "They don't have media or internet – it's an information vacuum. There's only state television, which doesn't provide information about these [issues]. When young people need money, they will easily drift into these [radical] trends and movements.
Nosirjon Buriev, who heads the youth affairs department in the government committee for youth, sport and tourism, also believes financial incentives play a big part in drawing people into extremist groups.
"They are unhappy with the wages currently available in this country, so they join up with groups of various kinds without realising what their aims are," he said.
The question is how best to counter this – through the kind of punitive action the government seems to favour, or through persuasion as well.
Faizullo argues that repression is not the answer, as it is likely to produce the opposite effect to that intended.
"Anything that's subject to a ban or restrictions is going to be attractive. That's human nature… It's why Adam was expelled from Eden," he said. "They're trying to shield young people from the influence of religion, but it's having the reverse effect."
Qiyemiddin Avaz, the youth affairs officer for the Islamic Rebirth Party, said that if the authorities wanted to inoculate people against radical ideas, they should focus on education.
Noting that having just one Islamic university and one specialised secondary school was woefully inadequate for a predominantly Muslim country, he said, "I've said repeatedly that schools should teach religious education and explain the different religions and religious teachings. They should learn about Islam, Judaism and Christianity. If we provided that in the schools, it might keep them from blindly following other [radical] trends."
Buriev acknowledged that something needed to be done using both state education system and the media.
"The only available textbook, 'History of Religion', has been withdrawn from education ministry's curriculum because there was no one qualified to teach it. That book needs to be republished and re-introduced to the school curriculum," he said. "The media should be used to describe the banned movements and trends, and what their goals are. There must be more programmes on radio and TV."
Rasulzade agreed that education was important because "our young people need Islam; they want to fill the religious vacuum created under the Soviet system".
Faizullo added, "Let young people figure out their own choices… Why does [the government] only know how to restrict things? There must always be choice. If these restrictions are removed, young people will follow in the traditions set by their forebears."
Rasulzade also pointed to a broader factor behind radicalisation that needed to be addressed – the widespread sense of social exclusion.
"What young people want is equal opportunities for all. They want to go to the university of their choice and get a good job. Universities here have fees and not everyone can afford to enrol and complete their studies. That creates a sense of social injustice, it makes people dissatisfied, and it makes the young start thinking about things."

While author Dave Eggers has made some solid inroads in Hollywood—penning the scripts for "Away We Go" and "Where The Wild Things Are," and coming up with the story for "Promised Land"—his own works have faced a tougher road when it comes to adapting them to the big screen, though that's changing. Jonathan Demme's "Zeitoun" continues to percolate in development, Tom Tykwer's "A Hologram For The King," starring Tom Hanks, just dropped the first image yesterday, and now a long gestating project has some fresh talent involved.
Daniel Radcliffe is in talks to star in an adaptation of Eggers' acclaimed "You Shall Know Our Velocity." This one has been kicking around for a while, and at one time Miguel Arteta ("The Good Girl," "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day") had been tapped to direct, but it didn't come together. "I had a crazy idea for how to do it, but at the end of the day, I felt it would be a very difficult thing to pull off," he told us in 2011. "It would involve celebrities trying to fake their own death. I've moved on."
But the project still goes on, with Peter Sollett ("Nick & Norah's Infinity Playlist") now set to direct, and a spring 2015 shoot eyed. Here's the Amazon synopsis:
In his first novel, Dave Eggers has written a moving and hilarious tale of two friends who fly around the world trying to give away a lot of money and free themselves from a profound loss. It reminds us once again what an important, necessary talent Dave Eggers is.
So it looks like this project is finally moving—do you like the casting? Can Sollett do Eggers justice? Weigh in below.

Nature Genetics
RNA interference (RNAi) has recently emerged as a specific and efficient method to silence gene expression in mammalian cells either by transfection of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs; ref. 1) or, more recently, by transcription of short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) from expression vectors and retroviruses. But the resistance of important cell types to transduction by these approaches, both in vitro and in vivo, has limited the use of RNAi. Here we describe a lentiviral system for delivery of shRNAs into cycling and non-cycling mammalian cells, stem cells, zygotes and their differentiated progeny. We show that lentivirus-delivered shRNAs are capable of specific, highly stable and functional silencing of gene expression in a variety of cell types and also in transgenic mice. Our lentiviral vectors should permit rapid and efficient analysis of gene function in primary human and animal cells and tissues and generation of animals that show reduced expression of specific genes. They may also provide new approaches for gene therapy.

All that glitters may be beetles--jewel beetles.
You'll want to attend the Bohart Museum of Entomology open house on Saturday, Nov. 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. to bask in the theme, "Beauty and the Beetles."
The museum, located on the UC Davis campus in Room 1124 of the Academic Surge Building on Crocker Lane, houses nearly eight million insect specimens, plus a live "petting zoo" and a gift shop. The open house is free and open to the public. The museum is people friendly, family friendly and bug friendly.
And the beetles?
"Beetles are awe inspiring because they are so different," said Fran Keller, who is completing her requirements this year for a doctorate in entomology. She studies with major professor Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology and professor of entomology in the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology.
"As a human, I and the 7 billion people on the planet are only one species, Homo sapiens," Keller said. "But the insect Order Coleoptera, or beetles, has more than 360,000 species. Beetles have the greatest diversity of all the insects. Butterflies are big and showy, but beetles can be. too. On a ladybug, which is really a beetle and not a bug, those red and black spotted front wings are called elytra. Beetle elytra are not used for flying so beetles actually fly with one pair of wings. But those elytra help protect them because they can be very tough and sometimes incredibly flashy to warn off predators."
Keller said that "If you can think of an ecological niche there is probably a beetle there taking advantage of the resources. Believe it or not, there is a beetle that is a parasite and lives in the butt of a beaver. Beetles are truly amazing and although I am partial to the flightless, black tenebrionids, I do collect and appreciate the beauty of all beetles. Okay, maybe I don't collect the beaver butt parasite beetle but wow, who would have thought beetles would be there!"
Keller, who noted that Darwin was an avid beetle collector and enthusiast, acknowledged that she has many "favorite groups of beetles," but "one of my favorites has to be the jewel beetles. Most of them are pests but they are very stunning, hence the name jewel beetle. There are so many different types of beetles that we know of or that have been described but there are still so many that await discovery."
So, all you beetle fans and would-be beetle fans, head over to the Bohart Museum on Saturday afternoon. There will be arts and crafts for the youngsters (and adults, too, if they wish!) Find out more here.
You've heard of "The Beauty and the Beast?" A fairy tale?
How about "The Beauty and the Beetles?" No fairy tale.
That's the theme of the open house on Saturday, Nov. 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Bohart Museum of Entomology, located in Room 1124 of the Academic Surge building on the UC Davis campus, Crocker Lane.
The family friendly event, free and open to the public, should draw a good crowd.
"Beetles," said Tabatha Yang, education and outreach coordinator at the Bohart," are incredibly diverse from the dung beetles to the shiny wood-boring beetles to the mighty rhinoceros beetles. They are also spectacularly beautiful. Besides specimens from around the world, we also be displaying (not selling!) jewelry made from the wings of beetles- this was common practice in South America's indigenous populations."
In addition to displays of beetles, "we will have a fun hands-on craft, something involving sequins and another craft involving 'dung balls,' " Yang said.
The Bohart Museum, directed by Lynn Kimsey, professor of entomology at UC Davis and housing nearly eight million specimens, is the seventh largest insect collection in North America. It is also the home of the California Insect Survey, a storehouse of insect biodiversity. Noted entomologist Richard M. Bohart (1913-2007) founded the museum in 1946.
Special attractions at the Bohart include a live "petting zoo," with critters such as Madagascar hissing cockroaches, walking sticks, tarantulas and praying mantids. Visitors can also shop at the year-around gift shop for t-shirts, jewelry, insect nets, posters and books, including the newly published children's book, "The Story of the Dogface Butterfly," written by UC Davis doctoral candidate Fran Keller and illustrated (watercolor and ink) by Laine Bauer, a 2012 graduate of UC Davis. The 35-page book, geared toward kindergarteners through sixth graders, also includes photos by naturalist Greg Kareofelas of Davis, a volunteer at the Bohart.
Bohart officials schedule weekend open houses throughout the academic year. Regular hours are from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The insect museum is closed to the public on Fridays and on major holidays. Admission is free. More information is available from Tabatha Yang at email@example.com.
The society's annual Halloween party in the Bohart Museum of Entomology, UC Davis, showcased a combination of insects and costumes.
A skull shared the habitat of the giant cave cockroach (Blaberus gigante), native to tropical Central America and northern South America. This cockroach is considered one of the largest cockroaches in the world, according to Wikipedia, with the male reaching lengths of 7.5 cm and the female, 10 cm. Its diet consists of everything from decaying plant material, fruits and seeds to dead insects and bat guano.
The partygoers? Senior museum scientist Steve Heydon came dressed as a witch.
Kate Brown, a third-year student at the UC Davis School of Medicine, donned Monarch butterfly wings.
Meanwhile, the Bohart Society members checked out the assorted insects, ranging from praying mantids to Madagascar hissing cockraoches to walking sticks. Entomologist Leia Matern of Woodland, who is studying for her master's degree at UC Davis, answered questions about a bug display to her curious daughter, Tilly.
The Bohart Museum Society is a campus and community support organization dedicated to supporting the mission of the museum, according to director Lynn Kimsey, professor of entomology at UC Davis. The museum, which houses neearly eight million insect specimens, and the Bohart Museum Society are dedicated to teaching, research and public service. "Our current growth is financed by memberships and your contributions," Kimsey said. (See membership benefits)
Meanwhile, the Bohart Museum is gearing up for its next Nov. 23rd open house. The theme: "Beauty and Beetles." It will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. in Room 1124 of the Academic Surge building on Crocker Lane. See schedule of weekend open houses. The museum is open to the public Mondays through Thursdays.
The world's largest hornet (Vespa mandarinia) is huge.
Just how huge?
We photographed a two-inch specimen last week at the Bohart Museum of Entomology at UC Davis. Among the insect musem's nearly eight million specimens is the giant hornet.
Tabatha Yang, education and outreach coordinator, placed a honey bee next to it for size comparison.
The news about this hornet is not good. The Chinese news agency Xinhua declared that the insect is wreaking havoc in northwestern China. Some 42 people have died from its stings since last July and some 1600 others have been injured.
"The problem with this particular hornet is that it's big, sort of thumb-sized, and it packs a lot of venom," Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum and UC Davis professor of entomology told National Geographic News.
"And its nests get fairly large, including maybe several hundred individuals. They are aggressive, they are predatory, and they have been known to kill and eat an entire colony of honey bees," she said.
The hornet destroy the entire colony within minutes.
As Kimsey says, this hornet is a predator and highly aggressive.
Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology and professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis, is fielding scores of calls after the National Geographic News (NGN) posted an article today (Oct. 4) about "the world's biggest hornet wreaking havoc in northwestern China."
Quoting the Chinese news agency Zinhua, NGN reporter Brian Handwerk wrote that 42 people have died and some 1600 have been injured "since the outbreak of the Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia) began in July…and attacks continue even as local authorities take action, including destroying hundreds of hives and improving medical treatment for victims."
Handwerk quoted Kimsey as saying "The problem with this particular hornet is that it's big, sort of thumb-sized, and it packs a lot of venom. And its nests get fairly large, including maybe several hundred individuals. They are aggressive, they are predatory, and they have been known to kill and eat an entire colony of honeybees."
"And its nests get fairly large, including maybe several hundred individuals. They are aggressive, they are predatory, and they have been known to kill and eat an entire colony of honeybees," Kimsey told NGN.
Kimsey, known by her colleagues far and wide as "The Wasp Woman," spent much of the day answering news media queries.
Reached at her Bohart Museum office this afternoon, she said this species is "pretty aggressive." This species is about two inches long.
"The giant hornet uses its venom to capture prey and to defend the colony," she said. "But actually, I think the honey bee venom is actually more powerful than this hornet's venom. The hornet is larger, has more venom, and can sting as many times as it wants." (Only the females sting.)
Unlike a hornet, a worker honey bee dies after stinging.
"This time of year, the hornet colonies are grumpy and agitated," Kimsey said.
And yes, the Bohart Museum, located in Room 1124 of the Academic Surge Building on Crocker Lane, UC Davis campus, houses giant hornet specimens. After all, it maintains a worldwide collection of nearly 8 million insect specimens.
Read what NGN, CNN and Wikipedia have to say about the world's biggest hornet.
"The stinger of the Asian giant hornet," according to Wikipedia, "is about 6 mm (1/4 of an inch) in length, and injects an especially potent venom that contains, like many bee and wasp venoms, a cytolytic peptide (specifically, a mastoparan) that can damage tissue by stimulating phospholipase action, in addition to its own intrinsic phospholipase. Masato Ono, an entomologist at Tamagawa University near Tokyo, described the sensation as feeling "like a hot nail being driven into my leg."

I have a strange problem with our local network at office.
We have linksys router, wifi accesspoint (for laptops) and freebsd server which is connected directly to the linksys router. We have intranet web page (x.company.com) which becomes unavailable ("could not find host", trying to access it from laptop (on other laptops it still works ok. all laptops are failing to access the hostname at least once a day or two) sometimes (totally random). All other internal hostnames (e.g. y.company.com) works normal. NS entries are controlled by Bind9 server which is installed on that freebsd server. After approx 10 minutes the hostname becomes available and all works normal again.
What the heck could be the problem ? At least any clue where to search for the problem ?
P.S. Nothing in logs too.

Pro-Social Behavior, Reciprocity or Both?
Empirical evidence is provided for the importance of non-reciprocal pro-social behavior of individuals in an anonymous, n-person pure public good setting. A unique panel data set of 136,000 observations is matched with an extensive survey. Even under anonymous conditions, a large number of individuals are prepared to donate quite a significant sum of money. Cooperation conditional on giving by specific other persons (reciprocity) is present, but the causal relationship is ambiguous. The manner in which one is asked to donate is crucial. Identification with the organization is also important.

How to insert a Native WordPress Gallery into a Post with LightBox
You have uploaded the theme and activated it and now you get the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function register_nav_menus()
If you want to share all your favorite blog posts and other articles in your Google reader with your followers on Twitter and Facebook, here is a pretty easy way to do it.
Today I am going to show you how to add a YouTube Channel to a post or page using a short code. So open up your functions.php file and copy the follow in there. Make sure to include it between the php tags . function youtubechannel($atts){ extract(shortcode_atts(array( 'user_name' => '', 'show' => '', 'width' => '', ), $atts)); $feed = new SimplePie(); $feed->set_feed_url("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/".$user_name."/uploads"); $feed->enable_cache(false); $feed->set_timeout(5); $success = $feed->init(); $feed->handle_content_type(); $YT_PlayerPage = "http://www.youtube.com/user/".$user_name."#play/uploads/"; $YT_VideoNumber = 0; $ShowMax = $show-1; foreach ($feed->get_items() as $item) { if ($enclosure = $item->get_enclosure()) { $YT_VideoID = substr(strstr($item->get_permalink(), 'v='), 2, 11);?>
So WordPress 3.0 has this nice feature which makes it possible to define the header image in the admin area. And if you upload a featured image on a post or page that is big enough then that Image can be used as the header image. Today I'm going to show you how to change your theme to add this feature. So lets start as always with the function.php file Add the following to it

Saurabh Das, Associated Press
MANIWALA, India — She lies in wait while her victims are collecting firewood, or taking cattle to graze, or working in the fields. She has grabbed people in broad daylight, carrying them away silently into the forests or the sugarcane fields. By the time the victims are found, little is left but a pair of shoes, unspeakable gore and a ring of drying blood.
Over seven weeks she has traveled, almost completely unseen, for more than 120 miles. She has crossed villages, small towns and at least one highway.
A killer is stalking the villages of north India. She has killed at least nine people, all of them poor villagers living on the fringes of one of the world's last wild tiger habitats. They are people who cannot afford a day off work, people who have no indoor plumbing and must use the fields as their toilets. They are people who know little about India's recent successes in tiger conservation.
But with the sudden appearance of one tiger, they look at an animal so beloved to outsiders and see only a monster.
"She has turned into a man-eater," said Vijay Pal Singh, whose neighbor, a 22-year-old farm laborer named Shiv Kumar Singh, was killed as he worked at the edge of a sugarcane field in January. In an area where nearly everyone works outside, this means life has been completely upended. "People are afraid to go into the fields," said Singh. "Everything has changed."
While hunters are brought in to kill man-eating tigers every year or so in India, it has been decades since a tiger killed as many people as this one, or stayed on the run so long.
"She won't stop now. She'll keep killing," said Samar Jeet Singh, a hunter with an aristocratic pedigree, a curled-up moustache and a high-powered heirloom rifle. For almost a month he has been tracking the female tiger, most recently through the forests and dried riverbeds near where she made her last kill, cutting down an elderly buffalo herder last week. Searchers found just part of one arm and one leg. The tiger left the buffalos unharmed.
When he finds her, he said, he will shoot her dead.
"The time for tranquilizing is over, the time for caging is over," he said. "Now she must be killed."
For generations, few in these villages even thought about tigers. The encroachment of towns, widespread poaching and incompetent wildlife programs had devastated India's tiger populations, forcing them into ever-smaller enclaves. Corbett National Park, one of India's premier tiger reserves, is barely 25 miles away, but while the villagers around here are used to living with wildlife — the forests and fields shelter leopards, monkeys, foxes, bears and wild boars — tigers were extremely rare.
The last decade, though, has seen improvements in tiger conservation and growth in the tiger populations. If that is good news in many ways, it has also increased the chances of encounters between tigers and people.
"This area is so rich in wildlife," said Vijay Singh, a top regional forestry official in the nearby town of Bijnor (and who, like so many people in this region has the last name Singh). "That is the problem."
The problem is magnified by the choice of crops. Sugarcane is the backbone of the local economy, and thousands of cane fields, with their dense stands of 10-foot-tall plants, offer ideal hiding places.
Wildlife experts know little about the tiger they are hunting. They know it is a female because of the shape of its paw prints, and many believe it is somehow injured, which could explain why it overcame its natural fear of humans. While most tigers flee at any sign of people, humans are also much easier prey: slower than deer, weaker than buffalo and with soft skin that is easy to bite through.
Some believe the tiger now prefers to eat human flesh. "It is because of taste that she is killing now — because of taste only," said Singh, the forestry official.

With the release of the much anticipated Diablo III game, many Diablo series fans immerse into the fantastic, infinite battlefield. To bring your gaming experience to the next level, SteelSeries introduces the light weight Diablo III headset which has great quality sound and is comfortable to wear. The punchy low & mid-frequency sounds and clear highs eliminate everything between you and your game. The LED trigger pulse illumination is very much like the game itself completely in your face!
Incredible Sound
Featuring 50mm driver units that reproduce crystal clear sounds in high, low, and mid-range tones is at the core of what is creating an incredible Diablo® III audio experience. Whether it's the ominously toned soundtrack, the approaching hiss of a Witch Doctor's firebomb or the bloody rage of a Barbarian whirlwind, users will clearly hear the gut wrenching hurls and exploding innards of your enemies.
Demon-Red Illumination
Alert the world around you that you're in the game. The matte black headset features "demon" red, LED illumination on the right and left side Diablo® III logo slashes and around each earcup.
Equalize it All
Let's face it, the way you hear the game is unique to the tones your hearing can pick up, and probably completely different than the next gamer, which is why SteelSeries provides Diablo® III Headset users the ability to adjust, personalize and save all of their audio and equalizer settings. Save up to eight settings for specific character profiles.
Keep Out the Noise
The earcups feature a leather covered noise reducing foam, which helps you to focus on the important audio or voice communication, and not being disturbed or interrupted by outside noise.
Lightweight Champion
SteelSeries over-the-head suspension design keeps the Diablo® III Headset cans lightweight and adjustable for just about every head size. We believe in keeping the gameplay heavy, not the gear you're wearing to play it.
In Control
The integrated volume controller on the cord also offers a mute button, all for instant control without having to navigate through software settings.
Retractable Microphone
The Diablo® III Headset features a retractable microphone system. Pull it out when you need it. Hide it in the left earcup when you don't.
Smart Noise-Canceling Mic
When you're playing multiplayer, it's more than just rugged skill that will win you achievements, it's communication that will help you dominate. To support that, The Diablo III Headset features an active noise-canceling, "smart" microphone that allows your team to hear you above whatever is happening in the area around you – appliances, dogs barking, whining spouses, and more.
Glow Baby Glow
It's not the Burning Hells that power this bad boy, but a total of 18 LED lights to power the red illumination and 4 pulsation options. It is color and light with a purpose. In-game activity is mimicked and illustrated through the pulsating red glow – enter into battle, dominate insidious traps, interact with your environments – your headset lighting will show it all.

Good sound...for a little bit
This review is from: SteelSeries Diablo III 57002 USB Connector Circumaural Headset
Pros: Great sound. Loved the bass that it had.
Cons: The side where the mic comes out of apparently has a flaw where it can break the wire. This unfortunately happened to me and now the whole left speaker is done for :(
Other Thoughts: Would have given it five stars if it wasn't for the flaws. I hate to see this beautiful headset go in a drawer and to never be seen again.

extremely Slow Customer Service
This review is from: SteelSeries Diablo III 57002 USB Connector Circumaural Headset
Pros: It looks good and feels good as long as its in the winter and your rooms cold or a good AC if you don't have a good AC your ears will be dripping wet after a short game session. Also it is very light.
Cons: The Customer Service was very bad it took way longer then it should have. I waited 3 months after shipping my headset to them before i got it back. It was so long I had forgot about it.

Excellent Buy!
This review is from: SteelSeries Diablo III 57002 USB Connector Circumaural Headset
Pros: Very cool looking headset. The red was exactly what I was looking for in my set-up. The console is very cool to customize, and overall I am very pleased with my purchase.
Cons: While the headset looks very cool, it is slightly uncomfortable to wear after a few hours. I have bigger ears (lucky me) that seem to be irritated after prolonged use of the set. Also, the Steel Series console is pretty memory heavy in usage. On my PC is runs about 60~80k memory usage as a back-round utility!
Other Thoughts: Very much worth it for gamers who have only a few hours at a time to devote to usage.

Slow Customer Service
This review is from: SteelSeries Diablo III 57002 USB Connector Circumaural Headset
Pros: It sounds good and works well when it is working. The appearance is also great and it appears to be a quality product.
Cons: The cord went bad after 2 months of relatively easy use. That can happen to any headset. My complaint is that the replacement process took almost 6 weeks. After they received my defective headset, it took them 4 weeks to ship a replacement. That is a unacceptable response time.

Excellent sound
This review is from: SteelSeries Diablo III 57002 USB Connector Circumaural Headset
Pros: - Really good sound quality
Cons: - Mic broke after 6 months
Other Thoughts: Overall the sound is the best I have ever seen on headset in this price range, but I cant recommend it because a lot of people are complaining of the mic breaking after 6 months or so.

Awesome headset, but low mic quality.
This review is from: SteelSeries Diablo III 57002 USB Connector Circumaural Headset
Pros: - Light & Durable
Cons: - It didn't fit around my head as well as I expected the first few days, but after it wore in for a while, It fit nicely.
Other Thoughts: The long cord can get annoying if you aren't using it all; however I'm not good at cable management so I can't say it's really a con.

Great Headset...kinda
This review is from: SteelSeries Diablo III 57002 USB Connector Circumaural Headset
Pros: Excellent sound, clear mic, comfortable for long gaming sessions.
Cons: Mic just quit on me last week after only 8 months. Have tried everything to make sure it's not a settings problem, and it isn't. Windows sees the mic, but won't pick up any sound.
Other Thoughts: Hopefully I have my warranty info around here somewhere cause this really upsets me that the mic would quit before even 1 year with a headset that cost <$100. I would expect this from a $20 headset

Looks great/Feels great
This review is from: SteelSeries Diablo III 57002 USB Connector Circumaural Headset
Pros: Mic is good. Sound is good. Looks incredible. I bought because I'm a hardcore Diablo Player. No problems so far.
Cons: NOTHING
Did you find this review helpful?
This review is from: SteelSeries Diablo III 57002 USB Connector Circumaural Headset
Pros: Very comfortable, great sound quality, nice microphone (while it worked).
Cons: I never touched the microphone, leaving it retracted all the time, as it picked up my voice perfectly well from that position. However, after about five months, it stopped working. I've never dropped or otherwise mishandled the headset, and am terribly confused as to how this could have happened. I'm just unlucky I suppose.
Other Thoughts: I still used them as headphones, but have to use a different headset when chatting with friends.

The Managers and Office staff are very friendly and helpful. Response to a maintenance request is nearly always addressed on the same day, and those guys are great as well. The grounds and facility is well-kept and clean, and its proximity to local businesses and Dual Highway is a plus.

For the most part the Bradford is a good place to live. My only real issue is the laundry situation. In my building particularly one of the 3 washers is almost always out of order, and can take a couple weeks at a time to get fixed.

The Future of Image Search?
I use image search often, mainly with Google. I use it to find inspiration in design or better clipart for this SEO blog, but occasionally as a content searching feature. If I'm looking to find info about a new guitar, I might use the image search, then once located, continue on to the content around that picture.
If you use image search, you probably already realized that it fails compared to text search. The first handful of results are often in the ballpark, but it quickly goes extremely south from there. Unlike text search, where a few content-rich sites can often suffice (depending on specifics of your search), in image search a much larger set of like-results is usually desired. I can almost guarantee, though, that without the 'adult content' filter on, you're going to get some kind of completely unrelated adult picture a third of the time. When using image search at work, be careful that nobody is standing behind you. Those pictures can be freaky!
Obviously, it's hard to favor image search and really back it if it's so wonky.
But the future of image search always sounded interesting. The idea of engines using apps to map the parts of a picture even better, determining the shapes (i.e., faces), and using it more confidently as part of the algorithm sounds pretty darn groovy to me. Imagine – no matter what the image file was named, or the content around the image file on websites, by image searching for "Frank Zappa", the maestro might show up consistently, instead of unrelated R-rated images.
Or what about giving an engine a picture and asking it to return similar pictures? This technology is being used commercially with Like.com (like that red shirt on your friend's myspace page? Just show it to Like.com and they'll present similar items you can buy). In my opinion, this would really improve search for the better. Describing things in the present state doesn't typically fine tune the search the way it should, in part because of blended search; ultimately, I find it making the search process longer. But if I could show the engine what I was looking for, well, that would be swell.
Google can read. Google can listen (1-800-GOOG411). So why not see?
Update: Good article over at Google's blog – New Search By Style Feature.

Rooster Hill Farms, Inc

China Grove, NC 28023
ph: 704-932-7379
About Us...
Randy and Cynthia Klocke are the proud owners of two small farms in Enochville, a small community in southern Rowan County, North Carolina. They purchased their first farm in June 2007 and started selling free-range eggs to a few local grocery stores and friends.
In July 2008 they bought a second farm just around the corner and expanded the livestock operations to include some goats (partly for brush control and partly as pets...well, mostly as pets!).
In April 2008 they rescued four ducks, who became 14 ducks when "Lucy" hatched her clutch in June. Today the flock has grown to more than 90 ducks, supplying a steady supply of Duck Eggs to several of their markets.
Tom, a half wild/half domestic turkey decided to make one of the farms his home. He wandered in one morning in August 2008 and has been a part of the farms ever since. It's not likely now that he'll ever end up on our Thanksgiving table!
Our Quest...
Rooster Hill Farms is dedicated to helping families return to the basics of living. As Americans slowly return to their aggrarian roots, more and more people are keeping small flocks in their backyards. City after city has changed their policies to allow people to keep a few chickens for their own use.
Our Henpen has been so much more successful than we could have ever imagined. We want to help those who want to keep hens in their own backyard.
Rooster Hill Farms is as much a learning facility as it is a working farm. We host home-school tours to help teach children about sustainable agriculture and the value of farm-fresh foods. Many people who purchase our eggs from local retailers like to come see where the eggs they eat are produced. Some spend the entire day!
