Rhythmyx: Creating Folders and Navigation for Your Web Pages
Rhythmyx is the Cardiff University content management system (CMS) used for publishing materials on the university web site. Allowing you to focus on the content, production of web pages is simplified and no longer requires an in-depth knowledge of HTML tags to format the page. Coming from the Uniweb Project led by PRCOM Rhythmyx is now used by many schools and divisions for production of their public web pages.
Topics Covered
This two-hour session introduces experienced users of Rhythmyx to the concepts of the the left-hand navigation areas of web pages on the University web site. Looking at how folders are used to create the navigational structure and then how Navon content items are used to implement the navigation this short session will give you the knowledge to add structure to your web site.
This knowledge will be quite specific to those people who need to provide a structure to a site and is not something that everyone will require to be able to update the web content on their web site.
By the end of this course you will be able to:
- create folders to provide a structure to your web site
- edit Navon content items to define navigation for your web site
You must have experience of using Rhythmyx to edit content of web pages. It is advisable that you have already attended the Rhythmyx: Creating and Updating Web Content and Rhythmyx: Adding Further Content to Your Web Pages courses but relevant experience may have been gained from practical use of the CMS. You must have the authority as well as the rights to create folders and define structure for your departmental web site to put the content of this session into practice.
Course Duration
Short session - 2 hours (no breaks are taken during short sessions).
Cost of Course
£30 for members of staff and students of Cardiff University
Please note that this course is only applicable for members of Cardiff University who are required to publish information using Rhythmyx, the University CMS system. Due to the internal nature of the materials covered, bookings from anyone not associated with the university will not be accepted for any Rhythmyx courses.

College Hockey:Cornell Shuts Down Quinnipiac, 6-0
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The Quinnipiac University Bobcats (10-12-0, 4-10-0 ECACHL) took a 6-0 lost at the hands of the Cornell Big Red (11-3-2, 6-2-1 ECACHL) at Yale's Ingalls Rink Friday night.
The last time these two teams met in December, the Bobcats almost skated away with a victory, but were upended in the final seconds, 2-1. It was a different story in this match up.
Cornell was the dominant, composed, physical team out of the gate, scoring three first-period goals.
The Big Red got on the board at 4:55 of the first on a Mitch Carefoot tally. Doug Krantz sent a pass to Matt Moulson who rifled the shot on Bobcats netminder Wes Russell. Russell made the initial save, but left the rebound in the crease that Carefoot put in for the one goal lead.
Less then two minutes later, Cornell doubled its lead on a one-timer goal. Ryan O'Byrne sent a backdoor pass to Dan Glover, where he put the puck in the back of the open net.
The Bobcats' head coach Rand Pecknold then called timeout after the goal to regroup his team, hoping to mount a comeback.
It didn't help.
Moulson made it a three-goal advantage, with his team leading 12th goal of the season with just under four minutes remaining in the first.
"Cornell had the momentum and we wanted to try and swing it," said Pecknold. "It didn't work."
After the period, Quinnipiac pulled Russell in favor of senior Josh Siembida.
Carefoot recorded his second goal of the game, this time on Siembida, at 14:35 of the second, with assists to Cam Abbott and Jon Gleed.
Some sloppy play by the Bobcats and high pressure by Cornell helped in creating turnovers for the Big Red. They capitalzed with goals from Byron Bitz and Mark McCutcheon to complete the 6-0 win.
"There is good leadership in the locker room," said Pecknold. "The kids will respond."
The Bobcats best opportunity of the night came on a 5-on-3 power play in the third, but the Big Red and David McKee held strong preserving the shutout.
The teams went a combined 0-for-11 on the power play. Siembida and Russell combined for 16 saves with Russell taking the loss, while McKee made 21 saves in the shutout win.
The Bobcats will play host to the Colgate Raiders at Ingalls Rink tomorrow at 7 p.m., while Cornell travels to face Princeton.

Matthias Corvinus And Florence. Art and Humanism at the court of Hungary's King
From 10 October 2013 to 6 January 2014, will be held in Florence, in the San Marco Museum, an exhibition which has as its main theme the relationship that King Matthias Corvinus had with Florence, with his artists, his illuminators and all the cultural circle which revolved around Lorenzo de 'Medici.
Through the works of various kinds - painting, sculpture, ceramics, miniaturaconservate in various museums in Europe and overseas, the exhibition aims to demonstrate how the Hungarian humanism has his roots in Italy, and how, in the arts, it was critical diffusion of the Florentine Renaissance style. Among the most important works of the upholstery of the throne of Matthias Corvinus of Budapest National Museum, built to a design by Antonio del Pollaiuolo, the marble relief with the portrait of Alexander the Great of the National Gallery in Washington, attributed to Andrea del Verrocchio, the Bible Matthias Corvinus of the Laurentian Library illuminated by Gherardo and Monte di Giovanni, the Portraits of Matthias Corvinus and Beatrice of Aragon, of the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, attributed to Giovanni Dalmata, the Epithalamium Marliano of the Library Guarnacci of Volterra, with the portrait miniaturist of Matthias belonging to Leonardo's circle.

As if to underscore the Americanness of the form, the weeks around Independence Day always see a conflagration of hoofers and hoofing in Manhattan. This year, the events are particularly rich in history and scope. Besides Savion Glover at the Joyce through next week (reviewed at the bottom of this post) and the annual live Tap City events at Symphony Space and the New York Public Library of the Performing Arts, my friend and colleague, tap historian and critic Brian Seibert's World of Tap Dance is a must-see and hear.

Tuesday, July 6
A look back on the history of tap, with a special focus on the late and legendary Chuck Green
SCREENINGS, curated from his personal collection and with live context and commentary by Brian Seibert, dance writer for The New Yorker and The Village Voice and author of a forthcoming history of tap dancing. Schedule subject to change.
10-11 a.m: Early Tap
Some of the earliest film segments of tap dancing, from the silent era (when technology missed half of the art) into the early sound era, when the filming of tap dancing exploded.
11a.m.-12 p.m: The Thirties Tap dance is at the center of popular culture. Hollywood knows this and fills its movies with tap numbers. Classic routines by such legends as Bill Robinson, Fred Astaire, Eleanor Powell, Ruby Keeler, Ray Bolger, and The Nicholas Brothers join classic routines by lesser-known tap masters Hal LeRoy, The Condos Brothers, Tip, Tap, and Toe.
12-1 p.m: The Forties and Fifties
Tap is the dominant dance form, but changes, internal and external, are on the horizon. Holdovers from the previous decade are joined by The Miller Brothers and Lois, Teddy Hale, and Jimmy Slyde.
1-1:30 p.m.: Lunch Break
1:30-2:15p.m: The Drought Most of the tap jobs dried up, and Hollywood gave up on the art, but dancers kept tapping, some of them making it on film or TV: Coles and Atkins, Bunny Briggs, The Hoofers, The Copasetics, Arthur Duncan, Sammy Davis, Jr.
2:15-4:00 p.m: Revival
In the mid-70s, a new generation summons older dancers out of retirement and transforms the art. While this happened mostly on stage, some of it made it to film – and to video, which changed everything.
4:00-5:15 p.m: Rare Finds
A sampling of tap footage rarely, if ever, shown. Little-known clips of big stars such as Bill Robinson and Fred Astaire and of tap legends such as John Bubbles, The Nicholas Brothers, Baby Laurence, The Condos Brothers, The Four Steps Brothers, Jeni LeGon, and Tip, Tap, and Toe meet only-known clips of forgotten figures such as Roland Holder and The Edwards Sisters.
5:15-5:45 p.m: About Tap
George Nierenberg's 1985 documentary on tap aesthetics. Featuring Steve Condos, Jimmy Slyde, and Chuck Green.
5:45-6:15p.m: Chuck Green
A look at the subject of our evening panel discussion, Chuck Green (1919-1997). A compilation of classic and rare video is highlighted by never-before seen footage, courtesy of Jackie Shue.
6:30-8:00p.m: Panel on Chuck Green (plus informal demonstration). With David Gothard, Josh Hilberman, Mable Lee, George Nierenberg, Jackie Shue, Tarik Winston (schedule permitting), and Brian Seibert, moderator.

A survey of the recent bloom in tap dance around the world.

Plus a special historical photo exhibition on tap in London curated by David Gothard
Since we're on the subject of tap, here's the start of my Financial Times review this week of Da Savion's trippy and, yes, wildly musical show, through July 10. Glover has received a critical drubbing for this outing, and Sole Power, as he punningly titles it, is far out, but it is never not musical, if you know to tune into the post-bop jazz vernacular that has long been Glover's model. The critical slams reminded me of what balletomanes said about Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake at its premiere–that all this blaring noise didn't count as music. I'm quite sure history will prove the nay-sayers wrong, again. Is Glover eccentric in his idea of a tap concert? You bet. But if you go along with him–let the darkness and the sound envelope you–you might hear some marvelous music of the spheres. I did, and I was even pretty skeptical until the lights went out. The review:
Rhythm king Savion Glover has long wrapped his shows around an extra-tap conceit: flamenco, gospel, classical music and now outer space. What does flamenco have to do with a galaxy far, far away? Part cosmos-loving Carl Sagan and part freaky Funkadelic mothership, Sole Power will demonstrate.
Fibre-optic stars twinkle in the black theatre sky while a soundtrack fit for a planetarium washes over us. Glover begins with his back to us, as usual. But this time it is less Miles Davis salute – signalling the strict limits any self-respecting African-American sets to audience-pleasing – than an invitation to focus on sound over sight.
Glover has long created a chasm between eye and ear, keeping his large feet close to the ground and his legs stiff while the beats come fast, warm, intricately enchained and thwackingly loud. With Sole Power, he directs our attention to that gap. At a crucial juncture, he orders the lights out in a booming Wizard of Oz voice and dances in the dark. The effect is genuinely trippy. Rhythms chug so far out, you think they're lost to another galaxy before they sail back into view. When the lights come up, I notice that the clickety-clack that accompanies Glover's perambulations moves four times as fast as his legs, as if an invisible man were racing inside him.
After inducing this state of awe, the hoofer suddenly gives it up. In the goofy, fabulously decked-out second act…
Badass Savion Glover in a moment of fashion-conscious repose.

A St. Johns County, Fla., man accused of sexually assaulting dogs, has been sentenced to prison time, reported Wednesday's Florida Times Union.
Judge Michael Traynor sentenced 53-year-old James Lee Lyons to eight years in prison on Wednesday.
Lyons, who previously spent time in prison for sexually abusing a child, was arrested after his neighbor accused him of sexually abusing his dog.
He was jailed briefly and then released with orders to have no pets at his home; shortly thereafter, he was arrested again after animal control officers found dogs at his home.
One of the dogs found at Lyons' residence showed signs that she had been sexually victimized by her owner. An examination of the 42-pound terrier mix revealed that she likely "suffered a great deal of pain."
The Sheriff's Office noted that the veterinarian described the dog's injuries as "appalling."
Judge Traynor has also sentenced Lyons to nine years of probation after he is released from prison.
Read about the original article about Lyon's acts of bestiality at this link.

The world of digital marketing and communications technology has quickly altered the digital landscape and ecosystem particularly in the past 5 years.
According to many sources including a Harris Interactive Customer Experience Impact Report conducted by Oracle, internet globalization has been providing unlimited choices for consumers who now run the show.
An estimated 86% of consumers quit doing business with a company due to bad customer experiences; This figure is up 46% (+27 percentage points) from 59% four years ago.
"Customers will take power from institutions (especially companies) through their access to precise pricing, social voice and ability to buy anything, from anywhere, from anyone, at any time... In the future, all companies will be software companies. To stay relevant in the age of the customer, marketing leaders must be able to adapt to – and exploit – the four market imperatives that are driving the rise of the empowered customer…" ~~ George Forrester Colony, Chairman and CEO, Forrester Research, Inc., Forrester.com, excerpt taken from Foreward, page xi, The Digital Marketer #TheDigitalMarketer
The Digital Marketer: Ten New Skills You Must Learn to Stay Relevant and Customer-Centric by Larry Weber and Lisa Leslie Henderson share their expertise and decades of experiences to clarify and describe how modern communications technology is changing consumer behavior and creating shifts in marketing concepts, practice and careers.
Although marketing objectives have remained the same for decades –- i.e., increasing customer acquisitions and retention -- the methods and technologies of achieving consumer growth have changed phenomenally as big data coupled with evolving technologies and consumer platforms continue to enhance the experiences, participation and voices of consumers.
The Digital Marketer includes the top latest trends and technologies that all marketers need to know so as to effectively plan, implement and succeed as well as various aspects pertaining to the preparedness and anticipation for constant disruption. I've already incorporated many of insightful tips throughout the book. You too can be inspired and motivated to do the same by reading The Digital Marketer by Larry Weber and Lisa Leslie Henderson.
The first of ten skills-sets in The Digital Marketer explains the importance of you – what I refer to as reinventing the "reinventing yourself" concept. Weber and Henderson also discuss "Me.com" (being more than your brand and your presence for various social environments) and the importance of being your "own human resources manager," wearing your many hats, understanding your potential, skill-sets, and your drive for self-improvement.
Taking charge of your own career, being your own small business entity and resourcefulness are crucial before any marketing contribution you make can be successful and have impact. Sitting still and waiting for marketing things to happen in our new world of "customer-centric" marketing, is the riskiest thing a marketer can do.
The authors explain how "Know Thyself" is knowing your story and self-awareness and stress the importance of social media with concrete examples such as posting an "About Me" board on #Pinterest, taking advantage of #LinkedIn, #Facebook, and many other relevant #digital #socialNetworking. Valuable tips include hashtags to explore -- #personalbranding, #career, #careeradvice, #startYOU.
The Digital Marketer helps marketers understand why and how the usual PR hype and brand loyalty paradigms are no longer enough to engage customers. The new customer-centric world is filled with opinionated, social and digitally savvy consumers. Along with the ever-changing marketing trends and evolving technologies, many factors impact customer experience from search, digital to in-store retail, ecommerce and many other customer experiences. The more digital marketers understand and meet their customer's needs, the more relevant user experiences and potential participation. (Photo right courtesy of FreeDigitalPhotos.)
Consequently, an entirely new style of marketing has emerged. Big data, digital communications and many other marketing trends continue to dominate the new world of consumer-centric relevancy. The Digital Marketer delineates how marketing has evolved exponentially in only 5 years, and describes how it will continue to evolve as new technologies breed constant disruption.
Digital marketing is a complex field and involves hundreds to thousands of technologies and tools that are constantly evolving to connect marketers with informed and vocal consumers. The latest digital marketing changes not only bring unprecedented challenges for creating experiences that are more personal and meaningful for customers but also bring constructive, exciting and fulfilling marketing careers like no other profession.

The Digital Marketer: Ten New Skills You Must Learn to Stay Relevant and Customer-Centric, by Larry Weber and Lisa Leslie Henderson is a must read for entry to senior level marketers as well as future generation marketers. The authors share their decades of experiences and use intriguing case studies that include pertinent thought processes that help marketers understand the intricacies of the many changing technologies as well as the complex marketing and customer engagement platforms.
"The Digital Marketer: Ten New Skills You Must Learn to Stay Relevant and Customer-Centric," by Larry Weber and Lisa Leslie Henderson explains the importance of the latest technologies and trends including big data, digital loyalty, predictive analytics, and many others that are used in today's digital marketing arena.

"The Digital Marketer: Ten New Skills You Must Learn to Stay Relevant and Customer-Centric," by Larry Weber and Lisa Leslie Henderson would also be a great read for digital analysts, social media managers, and anyone interested in learning about the world of digital marketing.

LOS ANGELES – The future looks bright for the UCLA track and field team. The homegrown talent alone in the state of California made a statement at the CIF State Championships. On top of the California talent, several future Bruins also made their mark at their respective state championships.
Exploding onto the scene as a senior, Curtis Godin (Mater Dei) capped off his stellar campaign with a double victory in the 100m and 200m. Godin ran a wind-aided 10.31 to win the 100m and then came back with a 20.87 in the 200m.
Misana Viltz (Millikan) won the 110m hurdles in a time of 13.47. The time is the fastest posted in California and the second fastest in the United States.
In the shot put, Dotun Ogundeji (Madison) won by over a foot with a throw of 65-5.50. In the throws on the women's side, Stamatia Scarvelis (Dos Pueblos) won the shot put by over four feet with a throw of 52-2 and then earned the double with a throw of 163-7 in the discus to win by over five feet. She holds the No. 2 mark in both the shot and discus in the US.
In the pole vault, Greta Wagner (Los Gatos) cleared 13-0.25 to win the event. It was the second best vault in California and 17th best in the US.
Also putting together impressive performances at the state meet were Joe Herrera (Tulare Western) with a fourth place finish in the 400m (47.25) and Pattriana Perry (Vacaville) in the hurdles. Perry placed third in the 100m hurdles with a time of 13.64 and came back to place fifth in the 300m hurdles with a time of 42.18.
At other state meets, Katelyn Jackson (Cheltenham) won the 100m and 200m at the Pennsylvania AAA State Championships with times of 11.78 and 23.93, respectively.
At the Nevada State Championships Ashlie Blake (Liberty) doubled in the shot and discus. She threw 50-1.25 to win the shot and 158-5 in the discus. Earlier in the season she posted the third best mark in the United States with a throw of 51-7.25 in the shot and the fifth best in the discus at 166-1.
At the Ohio D1 State Meet, Jelvon Butler (Solon) won the 200m at 23.98 and placed second in the 100m at 11.95. On the men's side in Ohio, Steele Wasik (St. Edward) won the 300m hurdles with the third fastest time in the US at 36.31 and also placed second in the 110m hurdles at 13.94.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – South Africa vs. Zimbabwe 2013 (live score results below) prompts a soccer world friendly match today. The game is not a World Cup qualifier but only an international friendly battle.
South Africa vs. Zimbabwe 2013 (star time 11:30 am PST) features two teams coming off of contrasting recent performances. South Africa has three wins and two losses in their last five matches. But Zimbabwe has two wins, two losses and one draw in their last five soccer appearances, officials tells news.
South Africa just recently won a qualifier against Botswana this month. Earlier this year they impressed news as well. In a June qualifier they beat Central Africa. But later they fell to Ethiopia that same month.
South Africa is coming off a two game soccer winning streak. But as news analysts note, South Africa has failed to win more than two soccer games in a row since June.
Zimbabwe has been inconsistent this year. They fell to Egypt in March. After that they fell to Egypt and then to Guinea in two more soccer qualifiers. Just days ago, Zimbabwe pulled off a draw against Mozambique.
Zimbabwe's highlight this summer was two consistent friendly wins. They beat Malawi and then Lesotho back in July. For live score results today click HERE.


text: Prior to the draft, some believed that the Jacksonville Jaguars would be using a top pick (perhaps No. 2 overall) on a QB to join their competition. The current situation included 2011 first-rounder Blaine Gabbert against veteran Chad Henne; some believed that Henne had a slight edge based on 2012 results, but with a new offensive system, the slate was clean. The Jags did draft a QB, but it wasn't until the fifth round, and the player chosen -- Denard Robinson -- was expected to move to RB as an NFL player. Nevertheless, he could see some time behind center.

Join me in Miami this weekend for a march on U.S. Southern Command
The U.S. Southern Command, located outside of Miami, is the brains behind the U.S. military domination of Latin America and the Caribbean. We need to close it, to reclaim the sacred land for the peoples of the Americas.
Join me this weekend in Miami for a forum and rally to close U.S. Southern Command and de-activate the Fourth Fleet and the School of the Americas.
No reservation is necessary — simply join me this weekend in Miami at either or both of these events:
- Forum on U.S. militarization and resistance in the Americas
Saturday, Oct. 8, 2:00 to 7:00 PM
St. Thomas University, Library Building, Convocation Hall
16401 NW 37th Avenue, Opa-Locka (view map and get directions)
- Rally and march to the gates of U.S. Southern Command
Sunday, Oct. 9, 12 noon
APWU Union Office Parking lot
2500 N.W. 97 Ave.
(On the northwest corner of 25th Street and 97th Ave. There is a exit off the 826 highway for N.W. 25th Street)
Doral. Florida 33172
I'll be presenting a workshop on Saturday talking about FOR's Continental Campaign and the principles of building South-North solidarity.
Both events are free, and I hope to see you there!
Can't make it to Miami? Take a moment to endorse the principles of the march and show your support. If you'd like to stay informed about our work in this area, be sure to join FOR's Stopping U.S. Militarism in Latin America campaign, and consider making a donation to support our work.
For more than 200 years, the United States, with its military, has been interfering in the internal affairs of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. We hope this weekend will be one step toward ending this outrageous policy!

Former Middlesbrough defender Curtis Fleming and veteran manager Lennie Lawrence will be in charge of Crystal Palace for their match at Barnsley tonight after manager Dougie Freedman left to join Bolton Wanderers.
Freedman had led the Eagles into the top six and will now take charge of the Trotters, the home town club of Barnsley boss Keith Hill.
Both teams go into the match without their best players. Craig Davies picked up an hamstring injury in Barnsley's trip to Charlton while Palace ace Wilfried Zaha is suspended after picking up his fifth booking of the season in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Millwall. Stephen Dawson is also a doubt for Barnsley after straining his groin.
An official Palace statement read: "Crystal Palace Football Club can confirm that first team manager Dougie Freedman has joined Bolton Wanderers.
"The board of the club would like to put on record their thanks to Dougie for all his efforts over the past couple of years and their disappointment over the events of the past few days.
"The search for a replacement starts immediately."

Assembly Committee kicks off football inquiry

A National Assembly for Wales Committee is looking for opinions and ideas from people on the future of the Welsh Premier League.
The Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee has opened a public consultation on an inquiry which will examine issues such as the competition format, the development and progression of players, coaches and managers, and the future of the league.

"While the domestic Welsh Premier League has a loyal following across the country this committee is keen to establish its contribution to Welsh football and its prospects for the future."
"Welsh football fans are never short of an opinion about the game and I hope they will choose to share some of those opinions with us."

Still flattening

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Optimum 7'10" x 10'6" Rug - Black:
The pattern is nice. For the $ we knew it would be think but the construction is OK. It cam would tight (and top out which is backwards for rolling a rug) and got squished in transit so it is creased where the squish created folds. It is going to take quite some time to get it flat because of that but it will be fine once it is flat. Definitely needs a pad underneath but we were replacing a rug so we already had the pad.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love this rug, the size is perfect.
Not worth it
By Nikki
from Baltimore, Maryland
These rugs have nice designs but are very thin and bunch up easily. If this item could be returned to the store, I would be returning it. It is worth it to spend a little more money & get a rug that is better quality.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

OK, so I bought my new GLOCK 27 and will go shoot it for the first time tomorrow, I actually can't take it home until Tuesday but they will let me go shoot it while waiting for the 10 days to pass. I have already bought the mag finger +1 extension, the extended slide lock and the plug.
The gun has standard non-adjustable sights and I was thinking about putting meprolights on it or some other night sights. Has anyone done this with the GLOCK non-adjustables - changed them that is? Is it even possible?
Thanks for the help!
Oh yeah I am also real excited that my 16 year old daughter is going with me and wants to learn to shoot. I am going to rent a 22 pistol for her to start with then I will let her shoot my Ruger P85 if she handles that good. She has been bugging me to go for weeks. I been working with her on our property with the pellet guns so she understands the basic safety requirements. She is a good shot with the pellet guns.

Release: 03/21/2013
MANHATTAN, Kan. - Bethune-Cookman (12-11) faces the 'Battle of the Wildcats', as it travels to the Midwest for the first and only time in the 2013 regular season, to face Kansas State (13-8). After changes in the schedule due to weather, the series opens Friday at 1 p.m. (CST), with the finale Saturday at 2 p.m. (CST).
Both teams are riding just a single-game win streak, with Bethune-Cookman defeating South Florida on Tuesday, 6-2, and Kansas State splitting the two-game midweek with Minnesota on a 4-3 win, Wednesday.
Pitching Matchups
Game 1
B-CU: RHP Montana Durapau (2013: 3-1, 3.25 ERA)
KSU: RHP Nate Williams (2013: 2-3, 4.08 ERA)
Game 2
B-CU: LHP Ali Simpson (2013: 1-3, 6.84 ERA
KSU: LHP Joe Flattery (2013: 1-2, 5.00 ERA)
Game 3
B-CU: RHP Scott Garner (2013: 2-2, 7.39 ERA)
KSU: RHP Matt Wivinis (2013: 3-0, 4.60 ERA)Notes About the Kansas State Wildcats (13-8)
B-CU is facing a familiar style of play in KSU, as the third straight opponent with big-hitting numbers. KSU racks up an average of 10.3 hits per contest, a team batting average of .309 and slugging percentage at .436; both marks the highest of any B-CU opponent this season. For their efforts, KSU averages 6.1 team runs per game.
Sophomore first baseman Shane Conlon tops the squad at the plate, batting .380 with team highs of 30 hits and four home runs, in addition to 14 RBI. With a team-leading in slugging percentage (.633), Conlon leads the team with a .463 on-base percentage and 7-of-9 stolen bases.
Junior second baseman Ross Kivett joins Conlon at the top of a group of six KSU players batting over the .300 mark. Kivett bats .351 with 27 hits, including a team-high seven doubles. He reaches base at a .451 clip and has stolen 12-fo-14 bases this season.
Blair DeBord bats .327 with five doubles and 10 RBI, while RJ Santigate bats .320 with a team-high 15 RBI.
KSU reaches base effectively with a .396 on-base percentage and are one of the most aggressive running teams B-CU has seen this year, successfully stealing 42-of-60 bases (2.0 SPG).
Notes About the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats (12-11)
The Wildcats have been coming along at the plate, currently batting .254 as a team. Team leader Josh Johnson was a little banged up after the South Florida game, and is questionable against KSU, but may see some action. Johnson was hitting .354 and had led off the order for 17 consecutive games in 2013. Left fielder Eros Modena is just behind Johnson, batting .337 with seven doubles, 12 RBI and a team-high 19 runs scored. Modena has also stolen 7-of-12 bases attempted.
Senior center fielder Brandon Turner has made a strong batting push the past two weeks, now hitting .271 with 11 runs scored and four RBI. He's a heady and quick base runner, with a perfect 6-of-6 steals on the season. Eric Sams bats .259 with five doubles and seven RBI, while Matt Noble leads B-CU with nine doubles and 19 RBI, batting .256 on the season.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Kidney disease patients benefit long-term from a produce-rich diet, including fruits and vegetables. They also get a short-term boost from melatonin.
Patients with kidney disease don't benefit from the stereotypical Western diet which produces and acidic environment in the body. Nimirit Goraya, MD (Texas A&M College of Medicine and Scott and White Healthcare) and her colleagues conducted a study to see if consuming a diet high in fruits and vegetables that counteract this acidity might improve the kidney health of 40 patients who have moderately reduced kidney function due to high blood pressure.
Results showed that 30 days of this diet reduced urine excretion of three indicators of kidney injury: albumin, transforming growth factor, and N-acetyl-ß-D- glucosaminidase. "These preliminary studies support the need for larger long-term studies to determine if this simple and relatively inexpensive intervention helps reduce the risk of subsequent worsening of kidney function in patients with hypertension-associated kidney disease," Dr. Goraya was quoted as saying.
In regards to melatonin, it improves dialysis patients' sleep hormones effects. Sleep disorders are common in kidney disease patients on dialysis due to a disturbance in their biological clocks. Marije Russcher, PharmD, Birgit Koch, PharmD, PhD, (Meander Medical Center, in Amersfoort, the Netherlands) and colleagues previously found that giving dialysis patients melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep and wake cycles, can improve sleep over a short period of time. Now, these researchers have investigated whether the benefits of melatonin on sleep persist over the long term, and if long-term use of melatonin could improve patients' quality of life. 70 dialysis patients received melatonin or a placebo for 1 year. At 3 months, the previously shown beneficial effect of the short-term use of melatonin on sleep onset was confirmed.
The investigators also noted improvement of sleep efficiency and sleep time. In contrast, at 12 months none of the measured sleep parameters differed significantly from placebo. Regarding quality of life, melatonin had a positive effect on social functioning and a trend in improvement of mentality. "We confirmed the short term beneficial effects of melatonin on sleep; however, we found no indication that these beneficial effects persist in long-term usage of melatonin," Ms. Russcher was quoted as saying. "Further research should focus on optimizing melatonin dosage and time of dosing, specifically in kidney patients."

2014 Annual Meeting
The 2014 EMI SIG Annual Meeting was held at the National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, April 22–25.
The meeting theme was "Severe Events: Planning and Preparedness."
The primary purpose of the 2014 Meeting was to address outcomes of the second Departmental Nuclear Safety Workshop (September 2012), and the resulting DOE Office of Health, Safety, and Security's Operating Experience Level One Report (April 2013), specifically Action 1, which states: "All Program Offices, in coordination with responsible contractors, shall evaluate their site emergency management programs' response to severe accidents/events (including BDBEs) that could have a site-wide impact, using the guidance in Attachment 1, and make appropriate enhancements. This review and appropriate enhancements, if not already accomplished, shall be completed by the end of Calendar Year (CY) 2014." The focus of the meeting was on how contractors and field elements are implementing Action 1.
Evaluation Comments Summary
The average rating for the Comprehensive Evaluation was 4.5 (scale of 1 to 5).
The single greatest benefit from the EMI SIG Meeting was overwhelmingly listed as networking (information sharing, collaboration, communication, interaction with colleagues). Other benefits mentioned were lessons learned, face-time for subcommittee and group meetings, new ideas, feedback and information sharing, exchange of ideas between sites, sharing information in sessions, real-world experts sharing knowledge and experiences, access to help from counterparts at other facilities and sister laboratories.
Comments from Evaluations:
- "Great location away from distractions."
- "Maintaining the face-to-face meeting format is crucial. Often the best content is informal discussion outside the formal agenda."

- "Very useful information; sharing experiences and best practices between sites is very beneficial."
- "Super job of pulling together a quality lineup of material in spite of compressed schedule for planning and impacts on attendance."
- "Some very practical and useful things that can be applied right away to programs."
- "Very excellent open sharing of information and ideas. The lessons learned topic continues to be of interest."

When the sun is beating down and the humidity is high, you'll be glad you booked your Alaskan cruise on the Disney Wonder while the snow was still blowing. Disney Cruise Line will start the 2014 Alaskan season off with a 9-day cruise leaving from Vancouver on May 24th sailing up the inside passage to Sitka, Tracy Arm, Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan before heading back to Vancouver on June 2nd.
Starting June 2nd, the Disney Wonder will be sailing 7-day cruises to Alaska beginning and ending in Vancouver with an itinerary that includes Tracy Arm, Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan. You will often hear that cruising to Alaska is the ultimate cruise but when you cruise on Disney, you add just a sprinkle of the Disney magic to it.
There is something for everyone in the family to enjoy on sea days and throughout the cruise. On sea days you'll find the kids are chomping at the bit to get to the kids club for another day of exciting activities. The younger children will have the time of their lives at Disney's Oceaneers Club and Disney's Oceaneers Lab, while the Tweens will enjoy Edge with activities geared towards their age group, that will keep them busy and having fun. Teens will love the teen club Vibe, with supervised activities created specifically for teens. For children age 3 months through 3 years, there is the Flounder's Reef Nursery, which will enable parents to enjoy a little free time.
There are no casinos on any Disney ship, however you can enjoy the bingo games which can end with a good sized Jackpot on the final day. If that's not your thing, how about some time lounging at the adult only pool area, taking in a show or a champagne brunch at Palo that is the epitome of romantic brunches!
When you board the Disney Wonder, your dining servers are assigned to you. They will follow you from restaurant to restaurant on the rotational dining schedule and quickly learn what some of your tastes are, such as your preferred dinner beverage among other things leaving you feeling spoiled and more than a little pampered at every meal.
The staterooms are large and comfortable, with divided bathrooms that enable members of the family to get ready at the same time. There is plenty of closet space and drawers to unpack and you will find laundry rooms close by that you can use to do any washing you might need to do on your trip.
The shows on board the Disney Wonder are unparalleled, and the same high quality entertainment you've become accustomed to seeing from Disney. You can see the latest releases at the movie theater on board, or take in one of the live shows such as the Golden Mickeys.
The Port Adventures on this itinerary are unlike any you've experienced. Always wanted to drive a team of sled dogs? You can do that! Walk on a Glacier? Watch Whales breach? See a mother and her baby seal float by on an iceberg? You can do that and more! Go out on a crabbing boat and pull up crab traps, then enjoy a full meal of all you can eat crab legs, or head over to Liarsville for an entertaining skit about Alaskan gold rush days and enjoy a meal of fresh caught and wood grilled salmon with all the fixin's.
A cruise to Alaska on board the Disney Wonder is a trip of a lifetime and one that no member of the family will ever forget. Now's the best time to book your summer Alaskan cruise and you can do that either online at the Disney Cruise Line website or call your favorite travel agent.

Performance artists Mark Jeffery and Judd Morrissey, both strongly influenced by the encyclopedic multidisciplinary Goat Island Performance Group, take on the night sky, digital technology and John Steinbeck's Dust Bowl-era sensibilities in relation to the current recession in The Precession – dubbed "an 80-foot-long Internet Art Performance Poem" – March 4-6 at the Hyde Park Art Center, 5020 S. Cornell Ave. They incorporate dancers, astronomy, Twitter and President Roosevelt's New Deal projects into a meditation on the ways communities are being formed across social networks. It's a multilayered piece that invites audiences into the Hyde Park Art Center's gallery and catwalk to go on a journey through time and space. The performance will be synchronized with the 10-screen facade projection using an open-ended structure that repeats approximately every hour (and therefore twice per evening). Visitors may enter or leave at any point.
Before we talk about the movement, let's address the jumping-off point. Jeffery and Morrissey visited the Hoover Dam and were struck by the merging of a large-scale labor endeavor and celestial matter. How did they get that from an engineering marvel in Nevada? Flanking the Dam are two pre-modernist winged workmen sculptures by Oskar J.W. Hansen. They commemorated Roosevelt's dedication of the Dam in 1935 and are seated within a complex celestial map. This map examines the notion of Precession, which refers to changes in the earth's axis of rotation. It also singles out the position of the pole star, which is aligned with the earth's axis. The sculptor had an intriguing futuristic intent: If extraterrestrials were to discover this map, they would be able to determine the date and time the Dam was dedicated.
Granted, the whole thing sounds almost too cosmic to process. But Jeffery and Morrissey pull it together by having six dancers embody the earth on a tilt and, later, circulate around a professional fire twirler as the sun. The dancers are also positioned in relation to their individual star digitally projected from above. They're even joined by a physicist giving a lecture. Then science and labor join hands. The performers, dressed as denim-clad laborers, don inflatable wings and move to opposite sides of the space. They recite text that they receive in earphones. These words are Twitter updates culled live from within a mile-radius of the Hyde Park Art Center and the vicinity of the Hoover Dam. So the performers themselves become a collective chorus of the people. The piece slowly evolves into a memorial to the workers killed during the Dam's construction. The dancers' harsh thrusts suggest backbreaking tasks; they position shovels to replicate rays of light; a single-file processional has each dancer holding a feather. The overall experience parallels past and present community building. It also examines ways the Web, Twitter and other social media are reshaping our collective consciousness.
The Precession takes place March 4 and 5 at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.; and March 6 at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. at the Hyde Park Art Center, 5020 S. Cornell Ave. Tickets: $10-$15. Call 773-324-5520 or visit www.hydeparkart.org. More info: www.markjefferyartist.org or www.judisdaid.com.

O God, by your Holy Spirit you moved Teresa of Avila to manifest to your Church the way of perfection: Grant us, we pray, to be nourished by her excellent teaching, and enkindle within us a keen and unquenchable longing for true holiness; through Jesus Christ, the joy of loving hearts, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
12 A garden locked is my sister, my bride,
a garden locked, a fountain sealed.
13 Your channel* is an orchard of pomegranates
with all choicest fruits,
henna with nard,
14 nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,
with all trees of frankincense,
myrrh and aloes,
with all chief spices—
15 a garden fountain, a well of living water,
and flowing streams from Lebanon.
16 Awake, O north wind,
and come, O south wind!
Blow upon my garden
that its fragrance may be wafted abroad.
Let my beloved come to his garden,
and eat its choicest fruits.
1 As a deer longs for flowing streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
the face of God?
3 My tears have been my food
day and night,
while people say to me continually,
'Where is your God?'
4 These things I remember,
as I pour out my soul:
how I went with the throng,
and led them in procession to the house of God,
with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving,
a multitude keeping festival.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help 6and my God.
My soul is cast down within me;
therefore I remember you
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep
at the thunder of your cataracts;
all your waves and your billows
have gone over me.
22We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labour pains until now; 23and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? 25But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. 27And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
13 'You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.
14 'You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

Kim Kardashian was the guest of honor at a bridal showed on May 10. The reality television star wore white (naturally) as she celebrated with family and friends at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. According to Radar Online, it may have been a white party because Kim's mom, Kris Jenner, was also spotted wearing white. There were also white linens and white roses were used in the centerpieces.
According to Us Weekly, the soiree was "Parisian-themed," a clear nod to Kim and Kanye's upcoming Paris wedding (rumored to be happening on May 24). Kim, 33, was surrounded by her sisters, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie. Also in attendance were longtime Kim pals Brittny Gastineau, Leah Jenner, Joyce Bonelli, Rachel Roy, and Shelli Azoff. It's unknown who planned the shower -- but your guess is probably Kris Jenner, and you're probably right.
Kim Kardashian's bridal shower brunch included items such as "bagels, brioche French toast, smoked bacon, chicken gyros, and country pork sausage patties" according to Us Weekly. Everyone seemed to have a lovely time, chatting, munching, and taking pictures in a small photobooth rented for the event.
While Kanye West was not on hand for the shower (it was girls only!), his family was on-hand to honor Kim. Everyone seems really excited for the wedding -- as they should be. It sounds like Kim will finally get her happily ever after.
Kim recently talked about rumors surrounding her upcoming nuptials by taking to Twitter and setting the record straight. Kim said that she and Kanye were not filming their wedding for a "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" special of any kind. She also said that the two weren't married yet despite a report that they obtained their marriage license in Calif. Kim and Kanye both seem to be looking forward to their big day and the public cannot wait to see the very first pictures (hopefully Kimye won't make fans wait too long).

Here is a biography of all the 49ers 2014 NFL Draft picks from the 2012 NFL Draft. Ten of the 12 bios include a quote from the player or one about him:
1. DB Jimmie Ward, Northern Illinois (5-11, 193 pounds) First Round, 30th overall:
Ward is a versatile defensive back who can play safety, but is built to also play press coverage as a cornerback. The 49ers plan to have him compete as the team's nickel back and possibly be a future SS when Antoine Bethea's time is done. He is one of the most physical defensive backs in the Draft.
Quote: "It's going to be a lot on my shoulders because I'm going to try to learn two spots. I'm not going to try, I am. I'm going to learn two spots. It's going to be more complex because it's the NFL and I'm just coming from college, but it's dedication. If it's something you love, you'll get the job done."
2. RB Carlos Hyde, Ohio State (6-0, 230 pounds) Second Round, 57th overall
Hyde is a running back who can be a bruiser for the 49ers power ground game. He is a downhill runner who does well between the tackles and can slip through defenders. With his large frame, Hyde could be the heir to Frank Gore, who enters his contract season with the 49ers.
Quote: "I am definitely going to get there and compete to get that starting job and keep that running game alive that Frank Gore brought to the 49ers. I embrace competition. I love competing. I feel like competition brings out the best in me. So, I'm really looking forward to getting out there and competing right away. And might bring some to my game that I haven't seen."
3. C Marcus Martin, USC (6-3, 320 pounds) Third Round, 70th overall
Martin is a powerful run blocker who has tremendous size for an interior offensive lineman. While the 49ers extended Daniel Kilgore through the 2017 season, Martin will be immediate competition for him in training camp to be the starting center. He is adequate in pass protection, but lacks the grit in the short term. Martin is also capable of playing guard if needed.
Quote: "I'm going to do whatever the coaches ask me to do. Whatever position that they need me to play I'm going to be willing to play. I'm going to come in and compete and represent my organization the best way I can."
4. ILB Chris Borland, Wisconsin (5-11, 248 pounds) Third Round, 77th overall
Borland was taken with a draft pick that remains as part of the return package for Alex Smith. He is a linebacker who can fill in as a backup and will compete with Michael Wilhoite to be the starter to fill in for NaVorro Bowman. Borland is athletically slower than most linebackers, but he is a good run stopper with great awareness.
Quote: "I expect [NaVorro] Bowman to make a comeback. He's a great player and it's just still way too early to look that far. I think San Francisco's got a proven coaching staff and a bunch of proven players on defense. So, I'm just going to find my role and play whatever that is."
5. OT Brandon Thomas, Clemson (6-3, 317 pounds) Third Round, 100th overall
Thomas would have been a first or second round draft pick had he not torn his ACL while doing a pre-draft workout for the New Orleans Saints last spring. Like Marcus Lattimore before him, Thomas is expected to sit out the entire 2014 season on the non-football injury list and be ready for 2015. He's an offensive tackle who has great size and is an athletic gap blocker.
Quote from Trent Baalke: "We really had him valued high. He was the highest player on our board once again when we made our pick. It was just, the value was too high to pass up. He's a guy that's going to come in here, rehab, most likely redshirt just like [RB] Marcus [Lattimore] did a year ago and we'll see where he's at after he goes through all of the rehab. But, we expect him to rehab fine."
6. WR Bruce Ellington, South Carolina (5-9, 197 pounds) Fourth Round, 106th overall
Ellington will be an immediate special teams contributor for kickoffs and will be learning how to return punts. He fielded only three punts in his final collegiate season. On offense, Ellington could be a weapon in the screen game similar to Darren Sproles and he brings a deep threat to the 49ers WR corps. Ellington was also a basketball point guard before he chose football as his sport and will reunite with South Carolina teammate Marcus Lattimore.
Quote: "Marcus [Lattimore] is a team player and while I was there, he was kind of one of the guys who came to me and told me to come out and play football, come out and help the team. So, we have a good relationship. It's going to make it even better when I get up there."
7. CB Dontae Johnson, NC State (6-2, 200 pounds) Fourth Round, 129th overall
Johnson fits the mold of a tall, physical cornerback who hopes to counter the top WRs in the NFL. He is a great athlete, but Vic Fangio will need to develop his coverage skills in order to be successful.
Quote: "To compete every day in the film room, everything, weight room, anything involving the 49ers and just go out there and compete and just love to play the game of football. Respect it enough to where I do everything right on and off the field. It's definitely an honor. But, going into a comparison, it would definitely be a great comparison to Richard Sherman, but I still have work to get there. I'm not Richard Sherman, I'm Dontae Johnson and hopefully I'll hope to build my name just off of my work ethic."
8. OLB Aaron Lynch, South Florida (6-5, 249 pounds) Fifth Round, 150th overall
Lynch is an extremely athletic defensive end who will transition to an outside linebacker in the NFL. Some scouts have viewed him as one of the best players in the draft, but his stock fell due to character concerns off the field. He could develop into a quality pass rusher when motivated.
Quote: "[I am] somebody with just a motor and a motive to just do whatever he can for the team. I'm coming in to play. I'm coming in to do what I can to help this team win a championship, go back to it. We have the whole team, the whole defense, the whole offense, everybody, there's talent everywhere and I'm just another guy coming in to work hard and I'm versatile, so I can do whatever they want me to do. I can play special teams. I can play offense. I can play defense. Just, whatever the coaches want me to do I'm going to come in and do and I'm going to do it to my full potential and whatever I can give to them."
9. CB Keith Reaser, Florida Atlantic (5-10, 189 pounds) Fifth Round, 170th overall
Reaser is coming off a torn ACL which he suffered last October and has his second surgery in February. He's a fast cornerback who could run a 4.3 second 40-yard dash with good strength and athleticism. Reaser will most likely "redshirt" and miss the 2014 NFL season by spending it on the non-football injury list. He has experience at returning kickoffs, but didn't play on special teams much in his senior year.
Quote: "I think I'm a guy that can do it all. Press. I can play off. I think I'm an all-around guy. I think I know the game well. I think I pick up on the defense. I think I'm an all-around corner."
10. CB Kenneth Acker, Southern Methodist (6-0, 190 pounds) Sixth Round, 180th overall
Acker had an impressive pro day and can be an immediate contributor on special teams. He should be competing with other cornerbacks for a spot on the roster. One of his biggest strengths is his leaping ability, where he had a 36-inch vertical jump. Acker's stock also improved during the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl and can be plugged into any secondary position.
Quote: "I feel like I just bring a lot of versatility to the team. I'm able to learn things really fast and feel like I'm a player that's just out there and hungry at all times. I'm a real bad competitor. I love to win. I hate to lose. It really irks me so I'm just a guy that's going to go out there and do it as best as I can. I like to put on a show for the fans and everything because I'm a fan of football and I like a good game. I feel like I just give back to the people just like me when I was watching the game. I feel like I'm versatile, I'm a hard worker and I'm just ready to get in there and do whatever for the team I can."
11. DE Kaleb Ramsey, Boston College (6-3, 293 pounds) Seventh Round, 243rd overall
Ramsey is strong defensive lineman who has injury concerns. He has suffered four different injuries in his football career, but when healthy he can bring a good disruption on the front-four. Ramsey is a good tackler who hopes to have a role as a rotational lineman.
Quote from Baalke: "Good football player. A very versatile football player. Has played all along the front at Boston College. A guy that can play three-technique, can play four-technique, has played some five-technique, gives you some inside pass rush. A very athletic big man and has played at a lot of different weights. So, he's a guy that has one of those body types that you can kind of massage to what you want him to be. A guy that could get down and play some stand up on his feet. He's athletic enough to do that. Or a guy that you keep the weight on and you make him an end in a three-technique in your sub package stuff."
12. FB Trey Millard, Oklahoma (6-2, 247 pounds) Seventh Round, 245th overall
Millard could be a future "Swiss Army Knife" on offense with his ability to play multiple positions. While he is best suited as a FB, he can also be an extra blocker and running back if needed as well as contributing on special teams. He is coming off a torn ACL, but there is a possibility he can play in 2014 as he had surgery last fall. Millard will be a long-term player to learn multiple positions and roles.
Quote from Baalke: "He's a fullback in our system and that is a varied role if you look we play [FB] Bruce [Miller]. He's going to be a guy that's going to be asked to block, a guy that's going to be asked to get out into routes, block both run and pass game and also at times, although it be vary few, they get the football. So, he's a well-rounded guy and has played a lot of ball at a high level."
The 49ers also added the following undrafted free agents:
QB Kory Faulkner, Southern Illinois (6-3, 224 pounds)
OLB Morgan Breslin, USC (6-1, 240 pounds)
S L.J. McCray, Catawba (6-0. 215 pounds)
C Dillon Farrell, New Mexico (6-4, 303 pounds)
OT Fou Fonoti, Michigan State (6-4, 308 pounds)
LB Shane Skov, Stanford (6-2, 245 pounds)

3/4 cup sriracha sauce (Huy Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce, the one with the rooster on the package)
3/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
juice of one lime (about 1/4 cup)
In a 5 quart slow cooker on low add srirachasauce, butter, honey and lime juice. Stir to combine. Add chicken wings. Stir until wings are well coated. Cook on low 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Remove wings from slow cooker and place on a baking sheet lined with foil. Drizzle sauce from slow cooker over wings.
Set oven to broil. Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 2-3 minutes until the sauce starts to caramelize. Remove from oven, serve and enjoy.
COOK'S NOTE: If you like a thick sauce coating, transfer the sauce to a saucepan and boil it until it cooks down, approximately 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then brush or drizzle the sauce over the wings.
You can also layer the sauce on the wings. Coat wings with sauce, broil for 1 minute, remove from oven. Coat with sauce, broil 1 minute. Add more sauce, broil until sauce is caramelized.
You can use fresh wings. Cook time would be 3-4 hours on low or 1 to 2 hours on high.
Instead of cooking the sauce down and broiling it you can mix up 2 tablespoons corn starch and 2 tablespoons water in a resealable container and shake it really well. Pour slurry into crockpot then cook an additional 30 minutes on high.

With its lace panels and an ocean-blue ombré color, you'd do well to wear this one to a beach wedding.

The media has been silent on the recent fighting between North and South Sudan. Sudanese airplanes and forces have attacked South Sudanese border towns. In response, the South Sudanese Army seized the northern town of Heglig last week. As always, the European Union has condemned the Christian side as aggressors and only gave lip service to condemning the Islamic side for bombing South Sudanese towns.
Sudan says its largest oil field is now controlled by South Sudan's army.
A Sudanese military spokesman told the BBC its forces had been defeated outside Heglig, and retreated north.
South Sudan said its forces had advanced to Heglig, but stopped short of saying its forces actually controlled the oil fields.
Clashes between the two sides started two weeks ago, and are among the worst since South Sudan gained independence last July after a long civil war.
South Sudan's military spokesman, Philip Aguer, told the BBC the army was responding to air and ground attacks by the Sudanese armed forces.
A Sudanese government statement earlier described the offensive as "severe", saying its Heglig oil fields were deliberately targeted.
If this goes into full scale war and the Christian South gets the upper hand, you can bet there will be an arms embargo and possible NATO action. The Islamic side is never allowed to be defeated in a conflict. I salute South Sudan in this victory over the forces of Islam. This proved that when Islamic forces are confronted they can be defeated. Now the Parliament of Islamic Sudan has declared the Christian South an enemy state. This brings total war very close.
Lets pray for South Sudan, they will need it.

I am currently studying photography at an art school. I want to enter a few photo contests, however a few of them are for amateurs only. I don't make any money off of my photos just yet, am I still considered an amateur as far as these contests are concerned?
Most contests that have an amateur category clearly define what they consider the difference between pro and amateur to be. If you can't find it in the fine print of the contest rules, contact the organizers and ask them. Most of the ones I've looked at fall into three broad categories:
In your case as a student, I have not seen any amateur contests that would disqualify you for that reason. Some amateur contests designed specifically for students may have certain age or grade limits.
Good Luck!
Defining who is a professional is a question of where to draw the line. It is easier to say who surely is an amateur.
If a person has interest in art and takes lessons in local photography club organized photography courses, and local art school offered short classes, and has his/her work sometimes on the walls of a local (non-profit, just for showing) art gallery receiving comments and critique, and this person has been doing this for years and years giving him/her pretty good knowledge and presumably skills in producing art, would that person be still an amateur? I say yes, of course that person is an amateur. It is not a sign of professionalism if you are simply trying to learn more about your dear hobby.
Being a student in an art school is not qualifying anybody as professional.
