This one is great for the fall!
1 large (or 2 medium) butternut squash
1 large sweet potato (not to be confused with a yam)
6-8 tablespoons butter or earth balance spread, melted
Agave (no idea how much - 2-4 tbsp?)
Light brown sugar - I just used about 2 tbsp because I was trying to be healthy, but this would probably be really good with more
Remove seeds, cut ends, and peel squash (you can leave skin on if you want - it's very nutritious and will soften when you cook it.) Cut into chunks - doesn't really matter what size as long as you're consistent - large is probably best. Cut sweet potato into same size chunks - leave skin on (it's healthier that way.) Put on baking sheet or pan.
Add melted butter, salt, and agave and roll all ingredients together. You should do this with your (clean) hands. Partly because it's fun to get your hands dirty. Partly because it will allow everything to be distributed more evenly.
Roast on 400 for 45 min to an hour. You'll know it's done when squash is soft and the glaze begins to caramelize. Make sure to mix things around a few times while it's cooking. Great fall side dish!
You can use just about any veggies you want for this recipe. Red pepper, mushrooms, peas, and corn would probably all be good. Get creative -- and let me know what works. This is what I used:
1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 yellow squash, diced
2 carrots, diced
2-3 cups instant brown rice
4-6 cloves garlic, chopped
2-4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into -inch pieces
4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Bunch of diced chives or scallion greens
Salt to taste (about 1-2 tspn)
Parsley to taste
Heat oil on medium heat. Cook onion until soft. (a few minutes?) Add carrots and celery for a few minutes until they start getting soft. Add garlic. Add rice and cook for a minute or two. Add broth and salt and bring to a boil. Start with 1:1 ratio of rice to broth - (2 cups rice, 2 cups broth) cover, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about five minutes.
Remove cover and spread asparagus on top of the simmering rice -- do not stir into the rice yet. Replace cover and continue simmering, adjusting the heat if necessary, until the liquid is almost absorbed and the asparagus is still crisp, five minutes or so. Try the rice - if it's still crunchy, add more broth and wait until it is almost absorbed.
Add cream cheese; stir until the mixture is creamy. Return to a simmer and continue cooking until the liquid has evaporated and the asparagus is tender, about five minutes more. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and half of the green onion.
Top with chives or scallions, parm cheese, and parsley.

Individuals with this disorder usually wake up yelling, screaming, and crying. Their attempts at communication with others may be incoherent. They may appear to be in a trance-like state.
Other symptoms that may be present include:
Refusing to allow anyone to hold or touch them
Punching or swinging their arms as if to protect themselves
Sitting up in the bed abruptly
Eyes may be open but they may not appear to recognize others
Sleep walking
Trying to get away from or flee from an imagined threat
Appearing frightened, anxious or panicky
Most individuals will have no recall or only a vague recall of the episode
What decreases the likelihood of sleep terrors?
Avoid irregular sleep patterns
Get enough sleep – most people require 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night
Avoid alcohol or sedatives
Avoid too much stress
Who gets Sleep Terrors?
This is a rare disorder with only 1% to 6% among children and less than one percent among adults according to the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-IV-TR

Vt. gov. proposes DUI courts, Sand to take new postThe Associated Press | January 07,2013MONTPELIER - Gov. Peter Shumlin has proposed changing the way courts deal with drunken drivers to reduce the rate of repeat offenders.
The state would set up DUI courts, similar to drug courts, in which judges would monitor the treatment of people with second or third DUI offenses and could impose sanctions and rewards.
The goal is to reduce drunken driving by helping impaired drivers overcome their addiction.
Shumlin announced Monday that Robert Sand will leave his job as Windsor County state's attorney in March and join the Vermont Department of Public Safety to help officials set up the courts, including developing DUI treatment dockets.
Shumlin also proposed consolidating the Community High School of Vermont and the Vermont Correctional Industries programs to better train inmates to be successful outside of prison.MORE IN This Just InWATERBURY The Vermont State Police Marine Division is working with other agencies this weekend ...

User reviews on Attack the Block
This is a horror/sci fi film directed by Joe Cornish and stars John Boyega, Jodie Whittaker and Alex Esmail. This film is nothing like I have seen before and i absolutely loved it. The film had a really amazing sense of humor that was a bit twisted but it worked very well with the theme of the film. The young cast did a really good job and i was especially impressed by John Boyega, he has a very bright future in the film industry. The film is really thrilling and intense and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters.
So as I believe the essay writer can help you with this problem! From now the reviews will be great
This is a really cool and unusual film and I had a great time watching it. The film does not have amazing special effects but the ones it has work perfectly and I think that the filmmakers did a great job with the budget that they had. This film shows that if you have talent, you do not need a big budget to make a great film. I think the story is great as well and the dialogue was very good, I had a hard time understanding some of the slang but I bet that British people will not have that problem. The actors in the film are very believable and they did a good job with their roles. Overall, I highly recommend seeing this film in the theaters.
So what if aliens landed in the ghetto? That is a very good idea for a film and to answer the question I think that the aliens would get their ass kicked. The problem with this film though is that it does not have great monsters and it kind of ruins the film. The aliens are not scary looking at all and in fact one can only recognize them from glow-in-the-dark fangs. I also did not like that the heroes in the film are really criminals and it is hard to root for thieves. Overall, I do not recommend seeing this film in the theaters.
I really liked this film and I urge you to go and see it in the theaters. The film is low budget but it does not feel that way, it is made very well and it exeeded my expectations big time. There are not a lot of special effects in the film(hence the low budget) but they are done very well and I actually really liked that the film was more about the characters. The film is full of action and it is very intense and clever. The film is funny, scary and thrilling and I had an absolute blast watching it. I was seriously sad when the film ended, I was very involved in it. The young actors in the film are excellent and very believable, and the dialogue was witty and funny. Overall, this is a great film and I recommend seeing it.
This is a film about an alien invasion that is directed by Joe Cornish and stars John Boyega, Jodie Whittaker and Alex Esmail. I really liked this film and i highly recommend seeing this film. The movie proves that you do not need to have a big budget to make a great film. The special effects in the movie were small but great and believable. The film was extremely fun to watch and it was thrilling as well. Even though i could not understand most of the dialogue(a lot of slang) I still enjoyed the film very much. The young actors did a very good job and I was very impressed.

I tried every brand here on iHerb and decided to settle down with Attitude. These are truely ecological green diapers comparing to Seventh Generation which seems to me that although they are not bleached in any ways, but they do contain certain level of petroleum products (sorry if my understanding from their product description is wrong). Attitude diapers also beat Earth's Best for the superior abilities of absorbing well and staying dry on the surface. Earth's Best diapers were terrible to us, soaking wet against my daughter's skin after she peed. She is okay with Seventh Generation and Attitude, but not with Earth's Best. We have been using Attitude diapers exclusively for over one year now. Not bad at all. There are still rooms for improvement, and I'm actually seeing this company is constantly upgrading their products.

In an exclusive interview with RCSI CEO Prof Cathal Kelly, the College head apologises over the Bahrain controversy and says actions fell short of high standards. But he is 'disappointed' with portrayal and criticism of the College. Dara Gantly reports.
The Chief Executive of the RCSI has "unreservedly apologised" for actions taken by staff at the RCSI Bahrain, including the interviewing of three students who were asked to swear an oath of loyalty to the Bahraini Royal Family and sign a declaration that they would not participate in further protests.
"That was wrong; it should not have happened," Prof Cathal Kelly told Irish Medical Times yesterday, in an exclusive interview.
The College had received complaints concerning the three students' attendance at the protests last February from the Bahraini Ministry of Education.
These complaints took the form of photographic material supplied to the College by the Ministry, which precipitated the interviews.
The CEO – who had responded earlier yesterday to a number of queries from Barrister at Law Dr Simon Mills – said the actions, made on the initiative of a senior staff member in Bahrain without the knowledge of the College in Dublin, took place during a time of "significant turbulence" within the Kingdom and were instigated in what the individual thought was the best interests of the students. "I honestly believe that the person who was responsible for that was trying to best protect the students. But their response was completely and wholly inappropriate, without the knowledge or authority of the College," Prof Kelly told IMT, adding that the first Dublin heard of the incident was when it went to investigate the query raised by Dr Mills.
The individual in question has subsequently changed post and is now working "in a consulting role with the College" — not in an executive role and not in contact with students, the CEO added. However, Prof Kelly said he did not want to personalise the incident in question. "I think it is easy from a distance, and from the quiet and calm of Ireland, to criticise individuals. The people were in a very difficult situation and were dealing with events that were unprecedented, even to the RCSI, which has operated overseas for many years. They got many, many things right; they got the vast majority of things right, but this was incorrect. And yes, this person is no longer in an executive role in the university."
"It is easy from a distance, and from the quiet and calm of Ireland, to criticise individuals"
Addressing the claim that the university in Bahrain had also received a request for information on the academic and overall performance of 11 nursing students apparently identified at the protests, Prof Kelly said the request came from one of the government agencies that sponsors students and involved normal information that the College gives to such bodies on a student's academic progress and attendance on a regular basis. He stressed that none of this information or documentation went to any outside agency, no further action was taken, and the students in question have progressed with their courses.
Concerns remain over the treatment of one of RCSI Bahrain's clinical tutors, Dr Fatima Haji, who was given a five-year jail term by a Bahraini military court on September 29. Dr Haji was among 20 medical staff handed down prison sentences ranging from five to 15 years last month. Also convicted of 'incitement to overthrow the regime' were Dr Ali Al Ekri, Dr Bassim Dhaif, and Dr Ghassan Dhaif, all of whom were trained at the RCSI in Dublin, and who received 15-year sentences. Dr Zahra Al-Sammak, who also trained in Dublin, was given a five-year sentence. Following the international outcry over the rulings, the Attorney General of Bahrain announced last week that the medics would now have a new trial before a civilian court.
While the RCSI CEO said he did not want to comment on any individual staff member out of respect for their confidentiality, speaking in general terms he did say that at the height of the unrest some 15 'clinical mentors' — employees of the health service in Bahrain who participate in teaching for an additional fee paid under a private arrangement with the university — were suspended from their hospital duties and thus could not teach and were not paid. Since then, Prof Kelly said 10 have returned to their clinical work and have informed RCSI Bahrain that they are now available to again teach and receive fees. While Prof Kelly described the situation as a "rapidly evolving" one, his understanding was that there were currently five people still suspended from their hospitals who have not received that additional payment from the College.
"The view the university took was that it was not making any judgement on these people or their situation," the CEO explained to IMT. "We informed them that we would be happy to pay them as long as they were able to teach in a clinical setting. The communication with them was very friendly and they equally understood that.
"But I can understand, as we said in our statement, and I am sorry that this could be misinterpreted. It certainly appears insensitive of us, and could be misinterpreted [in terms] of our position."
Keen to put the situation in what he termed its "broader context", Prof Kelly said events in Bahrain since February had been an "unprecedented challenge" for the College. While it had "fallen short" of the high standards it sets for itself, the CEO stressed that at all times the College's focus had been on the safety and security of its students and staff and fulfilling its educational promise to those students by providing high-quality training, which he believed had been achieved.
"I am disappointed that people don't seem to recognise that," said Prof Kelly. "People don't seem to recognise the challenging environment that we are working in. And obviously by working behind the scenes on other issues, we will never get credit for that."
On the continuing operating of the College, which saw graduations take place on schedule on June 13 last, the CEO said people from the outside had "misinterpreted" this as some form of "collusion with the government".
"In truth, for many of these students they were the first in their family to go to university and they had gone through considerable stress driving around roadblocks and security to get to their hospital, to get trained and to get qualified. I must say, we were very proud of their achievement and we were honoured to celebrate their achievement," he said.
Yet the majority of criticism at that time wasn't because of any specific actions the College had taken, but more for its inaction on condemning the treatment of the three RCSI graduates arrested by the authorities and subsequently convicted in a military court and given sentences of 15 years. Was this criticism for not speaking out strongly fair, in the CEO's eyes?
Prof Kelly said he believed organisations could have two ways of dealing with a situation like the one faced by the College in Bahrain. "You can either protest very publicly and take a very public position, and I respect people who do that. Many more significant organisations than ours – be it the EU, the Irish Government, the US government — have done that. Then there are also organisations like ourselves who have access to what we believe to be key influencers in Bahrain. We felt that the best approach for us would be to continuously advocate in private with key influencers for a better outcome and to address the issues of concern," he explained, adding that he was "very mindful" that the day the College took a strong public stance would be the day that it lost that access.
"Was our access influential?" he pondered. "I would not be arrogant enough to suggest that. I, and many of my colleagues, have been out there acting as advocates, but very definitely, and very deliberately, not taking a public position. Our sense was that while the public position would have been very popular and looked for in Ireland with the 'home audience', it would have reduced our effectiveness where it counted — in Bahrain."
"While the public position would have been very popular and looked for in Ireland with the 'home audience', it would have reduced our effectiveness where it counted — in Bahrain"
Yet the other charge levelled at the RCSI by its critics is that its significant financial investment in the Kingdom was influencing that decision. "To be honest, that has not influenced our response," replied the CEO.
"Irrespective of whether we had any investment there or not, our obligation would be to protect the jobs and the security of the staff, and to protect the security and the future of those students. I think our behaviour during this period — in honouring our educational commitment to these students — is critical to both our reputation and the wider reputation of Ireland." He was adamant that if the College had not invested a penny in Bahrain, its response would have been exactly the same.
The CEO was excited about the recent appointment of Prof Tom Collins, formerly of NUI Maynooth, as the new President of RCSI Bahrain. Tasked now with examining how the College can "identify learnings from this experience", Prof Collins apologised to the students yesterday (Tuesday, October 11) on behalf of the university and returned their documents to them.
Prof Kelly said the new President had an outstanding reputation as an educator and would be a wonderful ambassador for Irish education abroad. "We and many others are working in parts of the world which have very different governance, political and legal systems from our own. I think all of us need to learn from this and learn how an Irish higher education institution can create value through education and learning, and yet behave in an appropriate manner in different and sometimes very challenging environments.
"One of the new President's key roles will be to be objective, impartial, to bring his vast experience to this and try to capture the lessons we need to learn," added Prof Kelly. "In those particular instances that you have highlighted, we have fallen short of the high standards we wish to set for ourselves and that we will continue to aspire to and hopefully deliver on."
It certainly has been a tough week for the RCSI in terms of reputation management, with the Editor of the British Medical Journal (BMJ) the latest to call on the head of the RCSI to "clarify his position as a matter of urgency" in relation to the College's links with the government of Bahrain following the sentencing of the medics. Dr Fiona Godlee said clarification was needed urgently "unless the College wants to open itself to charges of complicity".
Prof Kelly is disappointed with such coverage. "Our aim as a higher education institution in a foreign country is to create value through education and learning. Through this extraordinarily difficult time, which was unprecedented for us and I would respectfully argue unprecedented for anyone, we have focused on our primary mission — the safety and security of our students and staff.
"I feel disappointed, particularly for RCSI people who are working abroad in these challenging environments. While nobody gets everything right all of the time – and clearly mistakes have been made – I think they have done an extraordinary job in handling this. And I think they deserve a lot of praise and a lot of credit. I am disappointed for them that they are facing this type of criticism."

Carneros is one of California's most distinctive and special winegrowing regions. While wine lovers can argue for hours about the concept of terroir, few California wine aficionados can dispute that Carneros possesses a unique and dynamic climate that is forged from geography and weather. As summer heat spikes into the 100's just a few miles away, Carneros remains cool, even chilled by ocean breezes and fog banks, making for perfect cool-climate grape growing conditions that favor the Burgundy varietals of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Additionally, it represents a bit of an oddity when it comes to California appellations, as it overlaps both the Napa and Sonoma wine growing regions, resulting in Carneros wines from Sonoma, and Carneros wines from Napa.
Carneros has been growing grapes since the early part of the 19th century, and has a rich history of agriculture. This history, as well as the bounty of food and wine that the region produces today, are the occasion for the Fourth Annual Carneros Heritage Festival.
Resembling many such regional festivals, the Carneros Heritage Festival is a showcase of food and wine -- a big lamb barbecue, stalls of artisan food purveyors, and local wineries pouring their wines. Unlike most such festivals and tastings, however, the Carneros festival is specifically geared towards families with kids. While mom and dad get to taste wine, the kids can fly kites, wander through a hay maze, and check out ecology exhibits with creepy crawlies and more.
Now, I should say that I don't know which wineries are pouring their wines, and I've never attended this festival, which means that for any serious wine lover, this event represents a crapshoot. While there is some fantastic wine made in Carneros, there is also a lot of bad wine made there too, and it is theoretically possible that the wines on offer (billed as premium and ultra-premium) may just suck. So take that into consideration before you spring for the ticket.
The whole event takes place on the grounds of the Donum estate, and also includes a Napa vs. Sonoma young chef cook-off, sheep herding and falconry demonstrations, wine growing exhibits and more.
4th Annual Carneros Heritage Festival
Saturday May 30th, 2009
12:00 Noon to 4:00 PM
Donum Estate Vineyards
24520 Ramal Road
Sonoma, CA 95476 (map)
Tickets are $75 per adult, and kids under 12 get in free. They can be purchased online in advance. Proceeds go to the Carneros Land Stewardship Foundation.
Make sure to wear sunscreen and a sun hat, drink lots of water, and spit if you're going to taste a lot of wine!

Category: Books, L.J. Smith
Many fans of The Vampire Diaries books were left upset and bereft back when Alloy made the decision to replace L.J. Smith as the writer of the series, and decided to take the story in a different direction than the one LJS had planned. While the book series continues to be successful, many fans have wondered what would have happened with LJS at the helm, where the story would have gone, and who would Elena choose – Stefan or Damon?
Well, it's a fantastic day to be a loyal LJS fan, because we're about to find out the answer to those questions, thanks to Amazon's Kindle Worlds. For those who aren't aware, Kindle Worlds allows the publication of fanfiction about certain titles (including The Vampire Diaries) through Amazon. This means that L.J.

How Mutual Fund Prices Fluctuate With the Market
Original post by Dennis Hartman of Demand Media
Investors face risk no matter where they put their money, but some investment products include traits to minimize that risk. Mutual funds are one example, pooling money from investors who buy shares and investing it in a broad range of products. Although this combines the risks of loss for all of the assets, it also causes mutual fund prices to change as markets fluctuate.
Mutual Fund Pricing
The price for buying into a mutual fund depends on the value of the fund's assets. Net asset value, or NAV, refers to the total value of a mutual fund's assets, including stock prices, bond rates and the amount of cash reserves the fund holds, divided by the number of outstanding shares. NAV for a mutual fund changes from day to day at the close of trading on the major American stock exchanges.
Even though mutual fund prices rely directly on the values of the assets they hold, market fluctuations do not necessarily translate directly into fund price changes. Some mutual funds are actively managed, which means fund managers continually buy and sell assets within the fund. As markets trend downward, mutual fund managers protect fund prices by selling assets that are poised for decline, and buying those that have growth potential. An effective mutual fund manager can cause a fund's price to rise even if markets lose value over the same period.
Types of Mutual Funds
The change in price of a mutual fund based on market fluctuations depends, in part, on the type of mutual fund. Some mutual funds invest in specific sectors of the economy, and others take a broader approach and invest in many areas. For example, some mutual funds invest heavily in manufacturing companies. If unemployment rises and manufacturers report decreased earnings, this type of mutual fund's price would fall more sharply than that of a fund that invests in technology, health industry and financial service stocks as well as manufacturing stocks.
Fixed Costs
Another important aspect of mutual fund pricing is the cost of investing. Even though mutual funds sell their shares directly to investors instead of listing them on markets, some use brokers to handle transactions. This means fees for investors who buy into the fund. Mutual fund investors also pay management fees for as long as they hold their shares. These fixed prices are present regardless of how markets, and the specific mutual fund, are performing.

Todd C. Holmes facility coordinator at the North Laurel Community Center and Park noticed all the filming that was going on at the North Laurel Skatepark. He thought it would be a great idea to somehow showcase that footage and the park. After some thought the ShredIt Action Sports Video Contest was born. The goals of the ShredIt Action Sports Video Contest were to increase awareness of the North Laurel Skate Park, Centennial Skate Spot, and the Rockburn Skills Park and engage patrons and participants that frequent those amenities. He wanted to increase social media marketing reach through a competition voting system and foster relationships with local businesses that serve the Skateboarding, BMX biking, and rollerblading community of Howard County. "We also wanted to begin to tap into the amateur film maker population and gauge community interest for further programming efforts," said Todd.
To be eligible for consideration, contestants had to be at least 13 years of age and have their own original skateboarding, biking and/or rollerblading video edits shot at the Department's North Laurel Skate Park, Centennial Skate Spot or Rockburn Skills Course. The Department teamed up with Johnny Rad's Pizzeria, The Good Roll Shop & Gallery and Race Pace Bicycles, who provided prizes for all the winners. All entrants received a ShredIt t-shirt compliments of all the sponsors.
The winners were announced at National Night Out at the North Laurel Community Center on Tuesday, August 5. Charmcity Skatepark owner Jason Chapman of Baltimore was the Grand Prize recipient of a full custom skateboard from The Good Roll Shop and Gallery, a Johnny Rad's skateboard deck, a year long Fit4U membership to the county's three community centers – Gary J. Arthur, Roger Carter and North Laurel; and a Bohnam camera bag and gear. Philthy East rider Idris Battou was the Runner-Up Prize winner. He scored a Johnny Rad's skateboard deck and a Bohnam t-shirt. Howard County's own Nick Griesser of Glenelg won the "Best in Bike Edit" award, along with a $150 gift certificate towards POC merchandise from Race Pace Bicycles.
"They were all great videos. I was very honored to have won. Thanks to everyone who voted!" - Jason Chapman The Charmcity Skatepark
"It was great to see so many people enthusiastic about our skate parks and skills course and we received many great submissions." - Todd Holmes

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/7/2014 (724 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
When we meet acquaintances Angela (Danielle Lester) and Gabe (Drew Jensen), they are trapped in a coffee shop and "monsters are about to devour their souls." Angela has made a deal with Lilith (Alyssa Wyspianski), a '90s body glitter-loving demon (who is also maybe a genie?). All three are playing mind games.
The Iceberg is an hour-long, tedious, convoluted mess based on Freud's iceberg model which, as Gabe helpfully mansplains to Angela later on, posits that 10 per cent of the mind is conscious while 90 per cent of the mind is unconscious. The unconscious brain influences our conscious brain without our awareness. (Gabe is a poet, you see, which makes him uniquely qualified to lecture on metaphors.)
The overly ambitious premise is unserved by a weak, non-committal script coupled with one-note characters one struggles to care about. Watching The Iceberg is like watching children re-enact a demonic Days of Our Lives plot with Barbies.

The smaller tubes of Crest Complete with Whitening are producing an ECB as part of the Crest Multipack Deal, even though they clearly aren't a multipack.

College Hockey:Dams Leads Crusaders Past Huskies
STORRS, Conn. — Jeff Dams notched two goals and an assist to lead Holy Cross past Connecticut, 3-1, in a MAAC matchup at the UConn Ice Arena Saturday night.
The win gives Holy Cross (15-11-5, 12-7-5) a four-point advantage over Connecticut (11-14-7, 10-9-5) in the league standings, leaving the Huskies in sixth place.
Dams' first goal came 2:26 into the game, but UConn retaliated 17 seconds later to even the score. Mike Boylan scored the Huskies' lone goal on a pass from Evan Schwarz. To end the period, Dams' capitalized on a five-minute major that was assessed to UConn's Beau McLaughin, scoring the power-play tally and the eventual game-winner.
R.J. Irving scored at the 16:34 mark of the middle period, also during the power play. The teams played scoreless in the third, but UConn put on a late surge, outshooting the Crusaders, 13-6.
Recording the loss for the Huskies was Jason Carey, who made 22 saves. Derek Cunha warded off 30 Connecticut shots on goal.

New beef plant at Te Aroha opened
Silver Fern Farms' new beef processing plant at Te Aroha in eastern Waikato is heading for full production after its official opening by the Prime Minister on Thursday.
The $67 million facility has been rebuilt on the site of a plant that was badly damaged by fire two years ago.
It incorporates the latest meat processing technology, including sophisticated traceability and yield collection systems.
Chief executive Keith Cooper said that at full capacity, it will have up to 380 employees processing 125,000 cattle per year, with the ability to increase that.

text: On the initiative for privatization of eight Belgrade hotels, the comment of the lawyer, Djurdje Ninkovic, one of the successors of former owners of Astoria Hotel, was that it is obvious that Government is in a hurry because the most likely the Decision on the sale will be made immediately after the New Year. Since the Republic Government promised to effect 5% of the price of the sold building to a special fund out of which those whose property had been nationalized would be paid off, it is not clear why they are in such a hurry if most of the hotels have had former owners. It is suspected that this is maybe only a maneuver in which the price of the hotel is different from the one former owners should be paid and that it is about a fraud, because if the Government sells the hotel for the same price that would be returned to the owner in one or two years, the question is why they do all this. It is expected that former owners will bring numerous charges, which will probably force foreign investors to hesitate.

How can I do this? Im running RedHat x86_64 es5. I heard that a cron job is possible, and some other people talk about a script?
Note that my linux server knowledge is very limit, so please be thorough if you will kindly assist me.
It is possible, that the --level bit isn't required, but does give finer control
should work too..
The first one will turn memcached on (ie, start the daemon) whenever runlevels 2,3,4,5 are entered. i.e. startup.
This assumes that /etc/init.d/memcached is in the right place, but if you installed it from packages, it should be fine.
A few options...First, cron is not the place for this.
If you have installed memcached from source (which there is little reason to do unless you have some very specific need), you can either:
chkconfig --add memcached chkconfig memcached on
In my opinion, the best and simplest option is to install the memcached package from the EPEL repository with yum, in which case, you run the chkconfig command above to enable it at start up. With the EPEL packages, you will edit /etc/sysconfig/memcached to control the memcached bucket settings instead of calling the memcached binary with parameters directly.
Good luck.

"oh sinner man" is azt's first solo book.
It's a collection of the most intriguing and meaningful pictures from the same title series made in 2007 whilst living in London and never printed before.
"oh sinner man" is a journey through images to discover the times and spaces of death, or maybe just a contemporary memento mori.
It presents many of the author's recurring themes such as writings, body, water, death, sky, bedrooms, so maybe it's just a book about obsessions.
"oh sinner man" is the first step of a publishing project presenting a series of books by azt that will be launched during 2010 and 2011.
Language: English
azt is a gay, HIV+, italian artist. Born in 1974, he lives and works in Bologna. His interest for photography made him first develop the most narrative aspects of the medium. From 2007 he dedicates almost exclusively to portray naked men with the many male nudes series. His research starts with the statement of difference as human inestimable value and explores the most personal and erotic aspects of his subjects. Through their physical nudity, he unveils a male universe that strongly differs from rules and stereotypes imposed by fashion and mass culture. Bypassing cultural superstructures, he displays an image of personalized, intimate and strongly politicized masculinity. He produced many artist books and published his works in contemporary art magazines and catalogs. He exhibited in museums, private galleries and non-profit spaces in Europe and United States. His works are included in important european and international art collections.

text: Short-lived 1987 Creator/{{ABC}} GameShow created by Creator/MerrillHeatter and hosted by [[Series/PressYourLuck Peter Tomarken]] which tried to combine the essence of the increasingly-popular home shopping craze with that of a certain other game show. Three pairs of contestants competed in three separate minigames, always in this order:* '''Bargain Quiz''' - the players had to guess whether an item at a certain price was a bargain; first to three won the game and a bonus prize.* '''Bargain Trap''' - the players alternated picking from five prizes, avoiding the one marked up from its actual price; the winner kept the prizes they chose.* '''Bargain Busters''' - the players tried to correctly guess the closeout price a certain store gave a stated item; best-of-three won the game and the prizes.The three winners then played Super Savers, where each player chose three bargain-priced prizes from a group of seven. The player who saved the most won the three prizes they chose, plus a grand prize.In case you haven't noticed yet, that "certain other game show" was most likely ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'', but that's just the tip of the iceberg Ś every round was followed by a "Bargain Shopper" segment, where the show magically turned into the Home Shopping Network (Oddly enough, HSN also had its own game show, ''The Home Shopping Game'', in syndication [[DuelingShows at the same time]], alongside the absolutely terrible ''Series/ShoppersCasino'') and offered viewers a chance to buy an item from the preceding round at a discount by calling the onscreen phone number.Aside from the fact that it was three parts game show and two parts {{infomercial}}, ''Bargain Hunters'' wasn't really that good (Tomarken apparently went so far as to call it a "piece of shit"), and the fact that it got preempted several times by special reports about the Iran-Contra affairs didn't help its chances.

College Hockey:Last Call: Martinez Nets OT Winner To Send Miami To CCHA Semis
RedHawks Win Goggin Arena's Swan Song
OXFORD, Ohio — Goggin Ice Arena closed its doors to Miami hockey on Saturday night, and the RedHawks gave it the most fitting of sendoffs, clinching a berth in the CCHA championship at Joe Louis Arena with an overtime winner off the stick of freshman Alec Martinez to down Western Michigan, 5-4.
Miami's last trip to Joe Louis Arena also was secured with overtime heroics, as Todd Grant gave Miami a 2-1 victory over Lake Superior State on March 13, 2004.
For the second night in a row, Martinez gave the RedHawks a 1-0 lead, this time pulling the trigger on his second goal of the season just 59 seconds into the contest. With juniors Matt Christie and Geoff Smith leading a three-on-two rush, Martinez took the puck from Christie and hammered home a rebound after his initial shot from the bottom of the left circle was turned away by Daniel Bellissimo.
Western Michigan wasted little time responding as Daryl Moore evened the game 1-1 at the 4:56 mark after he picked up a loose puck in the neutral zone and skated in alone before tucking the puck between freshman netminder Jeff Zatkoff and the near-side post.
A power-play tally at 12:14 of the first gave the Broncos their first lead of the series as Moore connected on his second of the game to make it 2-1. After Zatkoff made two stops during a goalmouth scramble, Moore slapped in the loose puck as it trickled through the crease.
Freshman Justin Mercier's third goal of the season erased the WMU lead at 6:16 of the second period as he capitalized on an unbelievable individual effort by Smith and made it 2-2. Senior Chris Michael moved the puck ahead to Smith as he carried the puck into Western Michigan territory and only one man to beat.
With Mercier streaking to the net, Smith undressed the WMU defender with a 360-degree spin and slid the puck through the slot directly onto Mercier's stick, where he slammed it between Bellissimo's pads and in.
Miami regained the lead at 14:01 of the second as senior Matt Davis took advantage of a four-on-three power play and whistled a wrist shot from the top of the left circle through the screen of Christie and over Bellissimo's right shoulder. Assists on Davis' 17th goal of the year went to Smith and freshman Raymond Eichenlaub as the RedHawks vaulted in front, 3-2.
The Broncos evened the score with a power-play goal of their own just 3:16 into the third period as Mike Erickson found the back of the net with a pair of RedHawks in the penalty box. The five-on-three power play for Western Michigan was the result of a bench minor for too many men on the ice followed by a tripping call against freshman Kevin Roeder.
After a draw to the right of the Miami net, Reid Yantzi gave Western Michigan a 4-3 lead when he tucked a wrist shot from the high slot under the crossbar at 12:12 of the third period.
The back-and-forth battle saw yet another lead evaporate as the RedHawks tied the game with 3:31 remaining in the third. Just as a Western Michigan power play expired, Michael picked up a loose puck and fed it ahead to Mercier just inside the WMU blueline. Mercier drove hard to the net, taking two Broncos with him and leaving junior Marty Guerin unattended on the right wing.
Mercier fired a shot on goal that was stopped by Bellissimo, but the rebound popped right to Guerin, who slammed the puck just inside the left post for his eighth of the year.
Overtime was kind to the RedHawks as Miami outshot WMU 9-5, with the ninth shot securing Martinez' place in Miami history. Martinez took a pass from Jones at the right point and quickly snapped a shot that slipped through Bellissimo and emptied the Miami bench at the 17:00 mark of the extra period for the final goal in the history of Goggin Ice Arena.
The RedHawks will play either Northern Michigan or Alaska Fairbanks in the semifinals on March 17 at either 4 or 7:30 p.m. at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.

It's official...in 2014, a live action Bleach movie will be released. I, for one, am terrified of the prospects, considering such horribly botched adaptations like Dragon Ball Z and The Last Avatar. What do you think?
It's official...in 2014, a live action Bleach movie will be released. I, for one, am terrified of the prospects, considering such horribly botched adaptations like Dragon Ball Z and The Last Avatar. What do you think?
Oh God, no. With the body proportions and appearances Kubo created for his characters, these two universes were never meant to be integrated. I get your point, is there really any live action manga or eastern-themed gaming series (e.g. Street Fighter) that came out good?
yes, I do not want to wait for of his.
hopefully it's better than dragon ball or live avatar.
that is better than dragon ball live action, I think it's okay.
where did you get news like this?
yes,i think...
As long as they work around the things that might look stupid it'll be fine. Such as the abilities, the hair, like someone mentioned the body proportions and of course the people who would need to be CG such as Kon ect.
For one, they should attempt to do the hair as it would be in real life, which is for the most part just long hair rather than massive spikes ect. Really depends who takes the project and their budget. Also, name everything properly. Shinigami not death gods, getsuga tenshou instead of heaven something moon fang something. Use Japanese words in the right places.
Ugh god...may the world should end this year, spare us from the next Huge mistake by hollywood.
Good lord...ugh this is going to be either terrible or slightly good (I'm saying this because I believe there is no manga that can be done great in live action). I just can't see Bleach as a live action...ugh, does this mean that there may be a Naruto and One piece live action movies? too?
I'll give it to the first real trailer...not a teaser, but real trailer that shows fotage of the actors and movie itself...only after that will I either actually look forward to this movie...or never look at it again.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...-action-bleach. ..they said they want to avoid the thing that happened to dragon ball.... And I have high hopes with Warner brothers ... I am also sure (i guess) Kubo sensei really wants it to be loyal to the plot coz he once said he doesn't want it to be in live action... Can't wait for this movie
"There's a law which says that when an otaku meets another otaku who shares a minor interest , they will become good friends right away"- -words from yui in Houou Gakuen Misoragumi
I have my doubts, but they interviewed Dan Mazeau who is going to take this project on. He had mentioned that he had the opportunity to sit down with Kubo and talk it over because he wanted to avoid the same issues that Dragon Ball Evolution had. I can only hope, but I think I would rather see the Japanese do a live action Bleach movie vs. Hollywood messing it up.

What can you do with a BA/BS in Sociology?
If you stop to think about it, most of the jobs requiring college degrees are not associated with a particular college major. Sure, many accountants have accounting degrees, and even more nurses have nursing degrees, but who is in that vast majority of jobs that don't have associated majors in college catalogs? The biggest group is "liberal arts graduates", and sociology majors are in that group (along with history majors, English majors, and many others). The American Sociological Association notes, however, that sociology majors have an advantage: "knowledge of key social factors and a firm grasp on research design and methods."
Well, that's nice. But what do you actually do with a Sociology major? Having a wide variety of choices can either be very liberating or a bit discomforting, whether the choice involves new cars, potential relationship partners, or careers. Regardless, the truth is that the range of occupations held by people who majored in sociology is very wide indeed. You can see it in the occupations of people who graduated with sociology majors from UW Oshkosh. Ours is far from the largest sociology department, and our graduates probably are not a representative sample of all sociology graduates, but even in that relatively small group, you'll be struck by the diversity of occupations held by our graduates. It isn't much of an exaggeration to say they are everywhere!
Occupations Held by UW Oshkosh Sociology Graduates
25% of our graduates have also gone on for a graduate degree, including one M.D., several lawyers, and a half-dozen Ph.D.s in sociology.

How in praising the tea parties one week, then defending President Bush on torture and his "War on Terror" the next, conservatives negate their alleged anti-government message.
3 thoughts on "The Southern Avenger on "Tea Parties vs. The Warfare State""
That's not surprising considering it's the "Conservative Movement," a movement that is not concerned with limiting government in any way but co-opting the term for big government desires.
Dear Mr. Wicklander,
At our local Tea Party I found myself surrounded by Republi-
cans, Independents, Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Demo-
crats and even dogs carrying messages -what lovely creatures ! Some people may certainly describe themselves as "Conservatives", but how they define the term may vary. There is much philosophical confusion in the country. A
common denominator was the peoples anger over out-of-control
governmet and spending and the many home-made sign showed it. Most noteworthy was how very civilized people were towards one another. I bet America could be so also if Big
Gvt and it devisive ways came to a well deserved end.
Trude Blomsoy
You make very good points, Ms. Blomsoy. I'm sick of the out-of-control spending and even attended a tea party myself. From what I witnessed, everyone seemed to behave themselves. I carried a sign that read "Audit the Fed: H.R. 1207," a piece of legislation being proposed by Congressman Ron Paul that is designed to make the national bank transparent.
What concerns me is that a lot of people who call themselves "conservative" were not particularly upset about President Bush's excessive spending, certainly not upset enough to stage elaborate protests. As bad as Obama's spending is right now, Bush's was the worst we had seen to that point. And that was the point I was making – even though Republicans have good limited government rhetoric, they have never reduced the government even when they had the chance. I do not wish to see limited government/grassroots movements compromised in favor of staying in the good graces the GOP.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have not won a road game against the San Jose Sharks since 1997. That streak was kept alive in a wild third period Thursday, March 6.
There were many stars in this contest, both in terms of NHL acumen and the specific pictured performances Thursday. Only one of the latter does not call the SAP Center home, and San Jose went home happy with a 5-3 win over the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference.
In fact, only two teams have performed better so far in the 2013-14 NHL season than Pittsburgh, which remains a strong 12-6-1 against the Western Conference. San Jose now has a 16-6-3 record against the Eastern Conference, suppliers of the last six and next six opponents.
Unlike their first matchup, this game lived up to its billing as a potential preview of the Stanley Cup finals. Both teams are among the seven to already have at least 85 points with nearly 20 games remaining in the 2013-14 NHL season.
This one did not start out very well. The Penguins dominated play outside of their one penalty kill, garnering a 10-4 edge in shots for 15 of the first 17 minutes of the game. In the final two minutes of that push, they established a 2-0 lead.
First, former Shark Marcel Goc fed Tanner Glass, whose shot came off to defenseman Olli Maatta already headed to the open side of the cage in front of the crease. Antti Niemi flopped back to try to get an arm in the way but could not.
Brent Burns then took a really, really dumb penalty in the offensive zone 31 seconds later, putting a forearm to the back of Evgeni Malkin's head until the referees blew the whistle. The Penguins have the best power play in the NHL and needed 41 seconds for the man that drew the penalty to serve a goal up to Chris Kunitz on a platter.
Even as San Jose began amassing a 39-12 edge in shots the rest of the way, Pittsburgh maintained control thanks to impressive rookie goalie Jeff Zatkoff. It was not until the 28th shot in the 38th minute that he let anything get by him.
That is when a long shift by a checking line paid off for the Sharks. On a second trip into the zone, Tommy Wingels retrieved an Andrew Desjardins shot and got the puck back to Justin Braun, whose shot somehow ricocheted through an Adam Burish screen without hitting him or his stick.
It was officially the first goal from anyone on the blue line in 20 games. This came one game after former blue-liner Burns scored for the first time in 20 games.
When Matt Nieto was hit with a double-minor high-sticking penalty 2:26 into the third, the chance of catching the guests looked grim. However, San Jose had already killed two-thirds of the penalty when another long shift paid off.
After over 40 seconds on the ice, Jason Demers had the energy to block a shot, register a takeaway and feed Patrick Marleau on the rush for a second chance to beat Malkin one-on-one. This time, the all-time San Jose leader in everything was able to turn inside his defender and put a backhand past Zatkoff despite having spent more than a minute on the ice.
The Penguins responded with another Maatta goal just 21 seconds later, this time pinching down to take a Brandon Sutter feed that gave Jussi Jokinen a secondary assist. However, the Sharks tied it back up just over a minute later and never trailed again.
Joe Thornton was able to win a battle for the puck deep in the attack zone. Joe Pavelski skated in to help and threw a behind-the-back pass from behind the goal line to the slot for Burns to blast by Zatkoff for a second goal in two games.
The game stayed tied for over seven minutes, but then Pavelski got the puck to Thornton coming into the zone. With no play to set up, San Jose's captain simply sent a knuckling puck towards the net that fooled Zatkoff for the game-winning goal. Burns emphatically put his slump in his past by adding an empty-net goal with just over two seconds left after Marleau was denied by a blatant, uncalled tripping penalty.
In the end, the Sharks won most of the battles. They made up for losing one extra faceoff (29-30) with 11 fewer turnovers (15-16 giveaways and 18-8 takeaways), turned that into 25 extra shots and still got 16 more hits and eight more blocks.
Perhaps more impressively, they held Sidney Crosby scoreless on one shot. The Pittsburgh captain was on the ice for all five San Jose goals. The ability to dominate top talent will prove useful with the tough competition waiting in the Western Conference for the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs that are 21 points from being secured.

Last summer's movie sensation has reappeared and grown to gargantuan proportions, according to The Mercury News. com, Feb. 25, 2014. When the trailer to the new Godzilla was released this morning, the super-sized proportions of the monster became its most obvious trait to all observers.
The movie will have a mid-spring release in early May 2014. Unlike the 1998 revised version of Godzilla in which the giant monster towered above skyscrapers, the 2014 version will feature a ferocious monster that will tower hundreds of feet above entire cities.
The new Godzilla will feature Bryan Cranston and Elizabeth Olsen. Cranston is a three time Oscar winner for "Outstanding actor in a drama series." He also won an Oscar for "Outstanding drama series." He also is a three time nominee for "Outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series for his acting in Malcolm in the Middle and three episodes of Breaking Bad. For his superb acting in Breaking Bad, Cranston won five Golden Globe nominations and nine Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.
Elizabeth Olsen's acting credentials are equally impressive. Her acting career, which began when she was four, included roles in Silent House. She also had a role in the film Liberal Arts, as well as How the West was Fun (childhood portrayal) and The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley.
This coming spring promises to be exciting and intriguing for all devoted movie enthusiasts, including children, adults and retired monster movie actors. Enjoy!

I am going to connect to a VPN service provider. From VPN I'll get a public ip. When I simple connect to this pptp VPN, all ingoing-outgoing traffic will be forwarded to the VPN. Am I right? However what if I'd like to send traffic only on specific ports through the vpn, so for example p2p traffic, etc. I want to access that port from the VPN's public ip after that. It is possible to configure a vpn client this way? Sorry if this is a stupid question i'm pretty new to this.
Traffic flows through IP connections based on routing decisions. The question of whether a particular piece of traffic goes through the VPN depends on the configuration of the server and the client. Usually the client will receive additional routes from the server. There has to be at least one such route to make sure that traffic for the other endpoint is routed into the tunnel.
If your VPN is configured such that it changes the default gateway of the client upon connection, then all your traffic is routed through the VPN. And between that and the bare minimum, everything is possible.
However, having said this: FTP is a layer 3 protocol, and VPN tunnels usually operate at layer 2. In other words, they do not recognize that a particular request is for FTP. And your normal routing mechanisms cannot make that distinction, either.
Now: if the FTP site you want to reach is available from both the VPN and the public Internet, then you could use split DNS to achieve this. Usually, when a VPN connection is established, the name server settings of the client are (for the duration of the connection) replaced with settings forwarded by the server. This is done so that the client can use host/service names residing in the target network.
Please note that this trick will only work for FTP sites that can be reached both through the public Internet and the VPN (i.e. company internal resources).

College Hockey:Pioneers Rebound, Top Bemidji State
Cheverie Earns First Win In First Start
DENVER — In the middle of a losing streak in which they have been badly outplayed in consecutive games, the No. 4 Denver Pioneers needed a shakeup, and coach George Gwozdecky decided to give freshman Marc Cheverie his first start of the year. Cheverie responded, making 26 saves in a 4-2 win over the Bemidji State Beavers.
"We needed to somehow snap our guys out of habits, and one of the ways I thought was to put Marc in net," said Gwozdecky. "Marc's not proven; no one knows what he can do in a game when he starts. There is a real urgency to this game and we had to do something to try to shake up our team."
The Beavers started strong. On their first shift, their forecheck forced a turnover, resulting in a good chance that Cheverie stopped. The Beavers built on that momentum, and had several quality scoring chances. Cheverie made a big save on Matt Read's backhand wraparound attempt, and the Beavers had a great two-on-one go awry when Tyler Lehrke's pass just went past the outstretched stick of Ryan Cramer.
Bemidji finally got on the board at 6:19. Tyler Scofield took a pass from Travis Winter and broke in alone on Cheverie, deked to his backhand and slid it through Cheverie's legs.
"We have a lot of pride in our program, and we came in here to win," said Beavers' coach Tom Serratore. "We respect those guys, and there's not much we could have done tonight."
The Beavers looked to build on that lead almost immediately, and Cheverie made a huge right pad save on Graham McManaman's blast from the right point, and then another stop on Matt Pope's wrist shot from low in the left slot.
"Patience is the biggest thing for me," said Cheverie. "I just refocused and tried to put it behind me right away. Getting that first shot was huge, and making the save after that goal was huge."
The Pioneers finally turned things around on a harmless-looking play. Rhett Rakhshani skated down the left side boards, held up just inside the blue line, and fired a shot that deflected off a Bemidji skate and ended up in between the legs of a Beavers' defenseman, where Tyler Bozak grabbed it and fired it top shelf glove side at 9:32.
"We knew something had to change, and we addressed it as a team," said Rakhshani. "We talked about not taking games off and holding each other accountable."
You could almost feel the Pioneers breathe easier at that point, and they started to settle down in the offensive zone and make better passes. They converted at 14:00 of the period when Brandon Vossberg picked up the puck in the left corner and, as he spun towards the boards, backhanded the puck to Matt Glasser alone in the slot. Glasser one-timed it past Orlando Alamano to give the Pioneers the lead.
"We certainly could feel us relax on the bench," said Gwozdecky. "The team you have seen over the last two games wasn't the team we had seen over the course of the season. Something had drastically changed."
Buoyed by their first lead since early in the first period last Saturday against Wisconsin, the Pioneers started generating excellent chances. Tyler Ruegsegger ripped a shot from the top of the slot that went through the legs of Alamano, trickled towards the net, and stopped at the left post.
Late in the period, while on a power play, Jesse Martin passed the puck from behind the net to Brock Trotter at the right side of the crease. Trotter quickly fired it five-hole and lifted his arms in celebration, only to stare and realize that Alamano closed his legs before the puck crossed the line. After a lengthy video review, the no-goal call stood.
Bemidji had a couple of good chances early in the second, including a shot by Blaine Jarvis from the slot, and a two-on-one shorthanded opportunity that Cheverie managed to stop with his left pad.
With Denver on a power play, Rakhshani picked up the puck at the top of the left circle, skated into the middle, faked, then fired a shot home top shelf glove side at 3:57.
"The puck actually went past me," said Rakhshani. "I was on the left side and Tom May came up and he did a good job of tying up the guy who was going after it. I think he kind of chipped it to me, so their guys were flat-footed and I just cut into the middle and the goalie couldn't stay with it and I beat him far side."
The Beavers countered with their own power-play goal at the midway point of the period. Pope picked up the puck in the left corner, took a stride towards the net and slid a pass through the slot to Jarvis, who had been left all alone on the far side post. Jarvis fired it into the open net at 11:22.
Denver had a couple of chances late in the period to recapture their two-goal lead. Alamano just got his right blocker on Martin's shot from the right circle, and, Rakhshani made a nifty move to split the 'D' on a shorthanded try, but his shot hit the left post.
The Pioneers continued to pressure Bemidji early in the third. Alamano made a good save on a Tom May shot from the slot, and then Trotter sent a pass through the crease that Bozak just tipped wide, and Glasser rang a shot from the right circle off the near post.
"We haven't been playing our best hockey as of late, but we stuck with it, trying to get back to what works, and tonight was a good showing of what we've been doing well all year," said Trotter. "We moved the puck well; Rakhshani was on our line tonight; he played really well too. I think we worked really well together and made some plays."
Bemidji had several good chances as well. Cramer got in alone on Cheverie in the slot, but Cheverie made a left pad stop, and then Winter had a chance from down low that Cheverie saved.
"That's just a better hockey team," said Serratore. "We played as well as we could and it was a tough night. We had a hard time; it was hard at times to keep up with them. Overall, we're happy with our play tonight."
Trotter finally gave the Pioneers a little more breathing room on a shorthanded tally. Trotter picked the puck up along the left boards at center ice and skated in, almost losing it at the blue line and going offsides, but keeping it just far enough ahead as he broke in alone on Alamano. Trotter faked, got Alamano to commit, then skated to his right and slid the puck behind Alamano's left pad.
"I was pleased with the effort, and the urgency was certainly there," said Gwozdecky. "I think over the course of the last two games, not only has our performance not been there, but it has really affected our confidence. We needed to compete harder, and I thought we did."

Spelling Battleship
Directions: This is a two player game. Each player needs a battleship game board and a spelling list they are working on (it needs to be the same list for both students). They need to sit across from each other with a shield between them. Before playing each student needs to fill in one side of the game board with six of their spelling words going across (one letter per box). When they are finished filling it in play begins. The first player needs to guess a coordinate such a (1,A) and the other student has to tell them if they hit a letter or not. If it's a miss they need to mark it on the other board to keep track of what they have called. If they hit a letter, they can keep playing until they miss or guess the word. The student needs to say... you sunk my and then the word they have sunk. When a word is sunk they need to mark it off on their list. When all the letters in a word have been hit, that word has sunk. They take turns playing until all words on one board are sunk. The first player to sink all the words wins.

1929 Men's Tennis Team
Hall of Fame Inductee
Coach Info:
|Hall of Fame Inductee
|Other Position:
|1996 Inductee, Tennis (1929)
Oregon's first national collegiate championship was secured on the clay courts of Austin, Texas. The Ducks' Bradshaw Harrison defeated the nation's top-ranked top-ranked singles player before teaming with Sherman Lockwood to knock off the Longhorns' top doubles tandem to forge a national co-championship with Texas. Coach Edward Abercrombie's squad of Harrison, Lockwood, Henry Neer and Stanley Almquist bettered every Western squad in garnering Northern Division and Pacific Coast Conference crowns, and made its way to national fortune despite a grueling, three-day train trip. Lockwood later became the tennis coach as Stanford before he was killed in a World War II plane crash.
