Asteroid Day Will Draw Eyes to the Stars, but the More Urgent Threat is Under Our Feet
Knowing when an asteroid could impact Earth would be nice, but learning more about super volcanoes might be more prudent.
June 30 is Asteroid Day, a global awareness effort to promote asteroids and discussion around what can be done to protect our planet from impacts, but there may be a more likely natural threat.
While an asteroid impact with Earth may make for great drama in the movies, no human in the past 1,000 years is known to have been killed by a meteorite or by the effects of one impacting our planet, according to NASA. That is just one reason Robert Mohr, Ph.D., instructor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham's Department of Physics, says energies might be better spent on the super volcano under Yellowstone.
"If the Yellowstone super volcano erupts, it will take out anywhere from 20-30 percent of the continent," Mohr said. "And the effects will be felt basically everywhere in the United States and in places beyond, potentially for years."
Aside from giant asteroid strikes, super volcanoes are considered to be the most devastating of all natural disasters. Super volcanoes have been known to cause mass extinctions and long-term climate changes.
The last known super volcano eruption, believed to have occurred around 70,000 years ago on the site of today's Lake Toba in Sumatra, Indonesia, caused a "volcanic winter" that blocked out the sun for six to eight years.
The super volcano that erupted in Wyoming 600,000 years ago, in what is now Yellowstone National Park, ejected more than 1,000 cubic meters of lava and ash into the atmosphere — enough to bury a large city several kilometers deep. By comparison, the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, which caused a 0.4 degree drop in average global temperature for the following year, was 100 times less forceful than the Yellowstone eruption.
"A Yellowstone eruption would alter life as we know it for a long time," Mohr said. "Sunlight would be blocked for long periods of time, which would affect crop growth and food supply. Preparing for something like that, which is a lot closer to a likelihood than an asteroid's hitting Earth, would seem to me to be more prudent."
NASA knows of no asteroid or comet currently on a collision course with Earth. In fact, as far as the agency can tell, no large object is likely to strike the Earth any time in the next several hundred years. To be able to better calculate the statistics and narrow down concrete possibilities, astronomers need to detect as many of the near-Earth objects as possible — an exercise that is quite hard to achieve with asteroids.
Mohr knows some will disagree with the notion that a super volcano is a more worrisome threat, and he admits it would be "nice to know" if an asteroid were heading straight for us. But he says the likelihood of discovering any asteroid far ahead of impact is quite small.
"There is no easy way to find an asteroid," he said. "It's not like looking for Easter eggs in a defined yard. There's a whole bunch of sky, and you're looking for something extremely small and that doesn't really give off a whole lot of light, so it doesn't show itself well. Where the asteroid is going to be in the sky and the odds of your actually being able to take a telescope, point it at the asteroid and pick it out with all the other stuff you're going to see in the telescope are very, very low — even if it's right there."
On Hit Show "Underground," Theatre UAB Alumna Andrea Frankle Plays Suzanna Macon, Character Fans Love to Hate
Chosen by a scout from the UAB Department of Theatre for a scholarship, Frankle says the lessons she learned as a young actor from UAB faculty and the Tour Groups program stick with her still today.On the hit WGN America show "Underground," few characters can make the blood run cold like Suzanna Macon, portrayed by 1998 University of Alabama at Birmingham graduate Andrea Frankle, who credits the College of Arts and Sciences' Department of Theatre and her graduate school training for preparing her for her acting career.
"Underground" is the action-packed story of a group of slaves in 1857 who plan a daring escape from the plantation to cross 600 miles to freedom, fighting to survive all the way. Frankle is part of an outstanding ensemble cast; her character Suzanna is the merciless mistress of the Macon plantation, and her steely malevolence is a marvel of dramatic skill. She governs the big house, and while her appearances are brief, she inspires terror in viewers as she holds life and death over the slaves. As head house slave Ernestine, played by Amirah Vann, says, "You can't trust nothing that woman says."
The DVD of the binge-worthy first season was released June 14, and season two is coming in 2017. John Legend is executive producer, and he handles the compelling modern score, which includes songs like "Black Skinhead" by Kanye West along with spirituals and folk songs, which amplify the action on-screen. Misha Green and Joe Pokaski write "Underground." The show is important, timely and extraordinarily written, Frankle says.
"The language, the imagery, the mastery of the production is awe-inspiring," she said. "I was there, and when I watch it, I forget about all the wizards behind the curtain and I just get lost in it, like everyone else. The performances by the actors are truly outstanding. As for what is next for the story, there is a certain character we meet at the end of season one who may play a larger role in guiding our heroes on their paths to freedom."
Folks are tight-lipped when it comes to this show, Frankle says, and it pays off, because every episode keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
Her advice for theater students"Read, watch and learn everything you can about plays, theater and acting. Love school, enjoy your training, and if you hunger for more, go out and see live theater, watch live actors, talk to writers, get yourself to the movies, or enjoy the fruits of online streaming and watch classic film, television and the shows people are talking about. Once you get yourself a solid foundation and learn about the amount of work, the physically exhausting, mentally challenging, ensemble-building WORK it is to be an actor, you will learn either one of two things: that you can't live without it or that you can't live with it. Either answer is a gift."
She guest-starred in season one of "True Detective," and played a "really gritty character."
"I absolutely love it when people say, 'Wait, that was you?'" Frankle said. "I have day-played on a few television movies, guest-starred on some television series, and had some walk-on parts which were super fun, like in '21 Jump Street.' I had a few small recurring characters, such as in 'The Riches.'" The show ran for a few seasons on the FX channel and starred Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard. Frankle says she got to do an RV highway chase for that show. Her thoughts while filming?
"This is too much fun, and it's my job right now," she said.
Frankle is originally from Montgomery, where her mother was a musical theater actress. She got her start acting with her mother in community theater when she was just age 8. At age 17, a friend convinced her to audition for Birmingham Summerfest, even though technically she was too young. Luckily, there was a scout from the UAB Department of Theatre who convinced her to come in and audition for a scholarship. She says she gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience from her education there.
"They prepared me so well," Frankle said. "I was actually nominated for an Irene Ryan Award for a role I had done in one of their productions, and it was during that competition that I auditioned for several graduate schools, and ultimately decided on LSU."
One of her favorite aspects of her experience with Theatre UAB, which she feels shaped her as a performer, was performing in the department's Tour Groups program, visiting schools every Friday, which also provided part of her stipend. The program is still thriving and providing young actors with performance opportunities and audiences with a chance to see live theater in action.
"We did children's theater, Shakespeare for high schools, really all ages," she said. "We performed in gyms, libraries, outdoors, classrooms — you name it, three, sometimes four shows a day. It was hard work, but was also the best lesson I have ever learned. Children and young audiences never lie. They let you know how it's going and if they are getting it or not. And it stayed with me."

UCLA Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Jersey Auction (Ends Nov. 2)
STANFORD, Calif. - Junior Karsta Lowe led all players with 22 kills, her third straight match with over 20, and added a personal-high 14 digs for her second career double-double, but the Bruins fell in four sets on Friday at #6 Stanford. Set scores were 26-28, 19-25, 25-22, 11-25.
Senior Kelly Reeves also had a double-double, her seventh of the season, with 14 kills and 11 digs, while junior Megan Moenoa was a dig shy of one with 52 assists and nine digs. Sophomore Maddy Klineman recorded her third straight contest with double figures in kills with 13. Senior Mariana Aquino posted six kills, sophomore Karly Drolson tallied 20 digs and sophomore Rachel Inouye added a career-high 12 digs. The Bruins (12-9, 3-8 Pac-12) hit .175.
Stanford (16-5, 9-3) held early two-point leads at 3-1 and 4-2, but a 5-2 UCLA run on kills by Moenoa, Reeves, Lowe and Aquino and a Cardinal attack error gave the Bruins their first advantage at 7-6. With UCLA up 9-7, Stanford went on a 4-1 run to re-take the lead at 11-10. The Cardinal still led 14-13 before the Bruins went on a 5-0 run to go up by four. Two kills apiece by Aquino and Reeves and a Drolson ace put UCLA ahead 18-14.
UCLA still held a three-point advantage at 23-20 when Stanford scored four straight to earn its first set point. A Lowe kill and a Cardinal attack error made it 25-24 to give the Bruins their first set point. After a Stanford sideout, a Reeves kill earned UCLA a second set point at 26-25, but the Cardinal scored the last three points to win the opener 28-26. Lowe had seven kills and five digs in the first, Reeves added four kills and Aquino and Klineman recorded three kills apiece. Drolson posted six digs, as the Bruins were out-hit .283 to .204.
UCLA held an early 3-0 lead in set two, but Stanford came back with the next three. The Bruins forged ahead again at 7-4, but another 3-0 Stanford run equaled things at seven. Even at eight, back-to-back Lowe kills put UCLA on top 10-8, but a 5-1 Stanford run gave the home team a 13-11 edge. The Cardinal would not trail for the rest of the set.
The Bruins got to within one three more times, but could not equal the score. Down 15-14, Stanford scored four straight and nine of 11 to take a 24-16 advantage. A couple of Reeves kills and an Aquino/Lowe combo block staved off three of the Cardinal's set points, but Stanford would take the second 25-19. Reeves paced the Bruins with five kills, Lowe added four kills, four digs and three blocks and Drolson posted seven digs, as the Bruins were out-hit .256 to .171.
Even at four at the start of set three, the Bruins scored four in a row on a Lowe kill, a combo block by Moenoa and junior Zoë Nightingale and back-to-back Klineman kills to put the visitors up 8-4. Stanford would get to within one on a couple of occasions, but UCLA would not relinquish the lead for the rest of the set. At 12-11, the Bruins scored six of eight to go ahead by a set-best five at 18-13. Klineman had three kills during the run, Lowe added two and Reeves posted one.
Stanford closed to within a pair at 21-19, but the Bruins successfully sided out for the rest of the set, as a Cardinal service error wrapped up a 25-22 victory. Lowe had eight kills in the third, while Klineman added seven. Reeves posted three kills, as the Bruins were still out-hit .310 to .302.
The Cardinal led wire-to-wire in set four to finish off the victory. With UCLA down 7-3, kills from Nightingale and Reeves and a Stanford attack error got the visitors to within one at 7-6, but the Cardinal responded with a 7-0 run to break it open at 14-6. Stanford would maintain at least a seven-point advantage the rest of the way and won the fourth 25-11. Lowe had three kills to lead the Bruins, who were out-hit .400 to .023.
The Bruins conclude their Bay Area trip at #22 California on Sunday at 3 p.m. The match will be broadcast live on Pac-12 Networks.

Sports Gossip: The Monday Morning Couch Potatoes

Water Cooler Topic #3:
Jackson's voodoo magic
The Cleveland Cavaliers looked to be a sure bet playoff team at the All-Star break. But after a tenuous slump, the Cavs are now fighting for their postseason lives. Their head coach, Paul Silas, has been fired, and GM Jim Paxson has also been handed his pink slip. The wheels are coming off the bus that was the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Adam's take: I blame this Cavs collapse on something more otherworldly than poor play or lack of coaching. It's almost like somebody put a curse on this team, a hex that has put them into such a tailspin that they had to clean out their front office in the middle of a playoff race. There is only one man who has this power... the Zen Master himself, Phil Jackson. This is all a selfish ploy by Jackson, so he can claim another Coach of the Year title when he takes over this team next year and leads them to home court in the playoffs. Crafty Phil, with his soul patch and voodoo magic.
Peter's take: Blame a weak supporting cast. Blame LeBron James for his inability to carry this team. Blame whoever you want. But I point to Usher. Yes, Usher of "Yeah!" fame. At about the same time the Cavs hit the skids, this annoying Atlanta native overpaid for a small portion of the Cavaliers. He is now a part-time owner, and can be found in attendance, wearing all white in the first row of most home games. If you were a player, would you have any motivation to play for a guy who sings a tune titled "My Boo"?
Water Cooler Topic #4:
Slater's still got it
This column's favorite teeny-bopper, Lindsay Lohan, was in the news again this week. Rumors have it that Lohan was canoodling with actor Christian Slater while partying at a New York City nightclub. Tabloids have the two romantically linked.
Adam's take: It's nice to see that good ol' Christian has still got it. After being left for dead with film flops like Alone in the Dark and abandoned by his wife after she walked in on him having his back shaved by strippers, Christian the bad boy is back! Slater hasn't sniffed a magazine's best-looking list since at least 1995, but apparently he has what it takes to bag Hollywood's hottest serial dater. Now let's just hope Lindsay doesn't catch wind of his work in 3000 Miles to Graceland.
Peter's take: Christian Slater?! He's the poor man's River Phoenix. And River Phoenix was the poor man's Kevin Bacon! Has Slater starred in a movie since Kuffs? C'mon, Lindsay! It seems like any guy who has an IMDB.com page can date this chick. Haley Joel Osment had better be next. At least their birthdates are within a decade of each other.
Backstreet's back. Alright.

Mary Murphy
Lancaster, Ohio
"If I put somebody on the train, it means they were really hot that night and could be heading into the finale."
- Mary Murphy on the Hot Tamale Train
Hollywood loves a good screamer. Us guys... well, it depends doesn't it, on the who, the when and the why? In this case, if you watch the popular FOX series So You Think You Can Dance? on Wednesday nights, you know that dance judge Mary Murphy is the reigning "Queen of Scream" when her enthusiasm for a performance on the show erupts into a scream-and-shout event, and either you love her for it or you most definitely do not love her for it. And while Mary Murphy may not be the first person that comes to your mind when you think of a good time, she's the first person that comes to Mary's mind, a quality she's spun into international fame and, very likely, substantial fortune to boot.
Mary Murphy BiographyMary Murphy is an Ohio-born Irish girl who's no shrinking violet, likely because she grew up a tomboy, competing against three older brothers in whatever sport or activity suited them. It's little surprise then that she went on to Ohio University and majored in Physical Education.
mary murphy goes global as a ballroom dancerAfter graduation and living in the nation's capital, it seems Mary Murphy may have been a little lost and uncertain about her future until she responded to an ad looking for dance instructors. Having minored in modern dance at Ohio, she seized the opportunity and soon found herself at the National Ballroom Championships -- an experience that delivered to Murphy her great epiphany: She wanted to dance with a partner at the highest competitive levels.
And that's exactly what she did, competing in and often winning ballroom dance competitions on international stages from New York to Europe with a variety of world-class partners. In between it all, she found time in 1990 to open her own studio, Champion Ballroom Academy in downtown San Diego. Following a 1996 championship in the U.S. National 9-Dance, she called it quits and retired to her southern California ballroom.
mary murphy and so you think you can dance?In early 2005, Mary Murphy landed a gig as a rotating judge and choreographer on the FOX series So You Think You Can Dance? By the third season, her energetic screams, coupled with insightful and heartfelt critiques, made her a television producer's wet dream because she so polarized fans of the show. It also landed her a permanent spot at the judge's table next to executive producer and fellow judge Nigel Lythgoe. Currently in the fifth season and scheduled for a sixth, Murphy also works with versions of the show filmed in Australia, Canada and Scandinavia. In addition to judging the FOX series, Mary is a judge at the U.S. National Ballroom Championships, among other major competitions.
Love her or hate her -- and you're likely nowhere in between -- Murphy's lengthy dance experience gives her voice the critical authority necessary not only to pass judgment on her fellow dancers, but to overcome the loud abrasiveness of her actual voice.

Hip Hop wasn't supposed to last as a culture or a movement. But it did.
Hip Hop culture birthed a language and a lifestyle that included graffiti, breakdance, rap, dj's and a style of dress.
Slated as a fad, Hip Hop went on to influence the way people talked; the way people walked; the way people approached life.
Blues music had the same effect. The language. The lifestyle. The angst and the pain of the struggle.
Although the Blues birthed Rock & Roll, Hip Hop birthed a way of life. It birthed a way of expressing yourself.
In its infant stages of the 1970's, Hip Hop was considered negative and defiant. It was troublesome with no place in American society. This is still true to this day.
The Punk Rock movement and Hip Hop in the 1970's, shared a kindred spirit. They were both loud, different and rebellious.
Now that Hip Hop has been embraced by the mainstream, one can't go anywhere without running into its influence.
It's nothing to see letter fonts with graffiti influences. It's nothing to see breakdance influences in a Broadway musicals. It's nothing to hear someone rapping in a commercial. It's nothing to see how Hip Hop has influenced the way we dress.
A lot of die hard fans from the beginning are concerned about the current direction or the current state of Hip Hop. Well, Hip Hop is a lifestyle. Its a culture. It encompasses all the arts that live within it. It's like a state that encompasses different cities and counties within it. It grows when more people discovers it and loves it.
Hip Hop is like a mother who birthed children to carry on the family legacy. The children grow in different directions but the foundation remains the same and refers back to its core. Hip Hop.

GENERIC NAME: promethazine
BRAND NAME: Phenergan, Phenadoz, Promethegan
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Promethazine is a phenothiazine in the same drug class as chlorpromazine (Thorazine) and trifluoperazine (Stelazine). However, unlike the other drugs in this class, promethazine is not used as an anti-psychotic. It used as an anti-histamine, sedative, and antiemetic (anti-nausea). The body releases histamine during several types of allergic reactions. When histamine binds to its receptors on cells, it stimulates changes within the cells that lead to sneezing, itching, and increased mucus production. Antihistamines such as promethazine compete with histamine for one of the receptors for histamine (the H1 receptor) on cells. However, when the antihistamines bind to the receptors they do not stimulate the cells. Instead, they prevent histamine from binding and stimulating the cells. Promethazine also blocks the action of acetylcholine (anticholinergic effect), and this may explain its benefit in reducing the nausea of motion sickness. It is used as a sedative because it causes drowsiness as a side effect. The FDA approved promethazine in 1951.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Promethazine is prescribed for treating nausea or vomiting, motion sickness, and allergic reactions and for sedation prior to or after surgery.

deal, while 64% of skilled trade wokers had done so.
In a statement, GM Chairman Rick Wagoner said: "We are very pleased that our UAW-represented employees have ratified the new labor contract," said Rick Wagoner, GM CEO and Chairman of the Board. "I especially thank UAW President Ron Gettelfinger and Vice President Cal Rapson, as well as the members of the GM and UAW negotiating teams, for their hard work in reaching an innovative agreement that effectively addresses the needs of our

Although it's almost sold out already, I will be the keynote speaker at ReasonCon in Hickory, North Carolina, in early May. Details here (also tickets and wait-list options there). As I write, there are only VIP tickets left, and those include the VIP launch party Friday night (9pm, May 2, 2014). [Update: They got a bigger venue after I originally posted. As of 16 April, ninety new free tickets became available. Snatch those up while you can!]. Otherwise, the option exists to submit your name to a wait-list for a free spot at the one-day con on Saturday (9am-5pm, May 3, 2014, with an after-party that night for all, starting at 7pm).
If you still want to attend the conference, and can't afford the VIP ticks or even they get sold out [and if you find the new free tickets are all gone, too], it can't hurt to submit a wait-list request to tell them what the demand really was, so if they do this again next year they might be able to accommodate more people, or (less likely but a dim possibility) they might find a way to make room this year and let you know you can get in after all. They also might succeed in streaming it live or recording it for YouTube (that is still in development), but they could still benefit from hearing how many wanted to go but couldn't. Otherwise, there is some VIP access still available. As I look this moment there are 26 of those left at $65 and 22 more at $100 (the latter comes with free booze, if you are of legal age to take advantage of that). I'll be at the launch party if my flights meet no delays (although, all told, I will be arriving at the party almost exactly when it starts, after traveling the whole day, so I'll be on my second wind!).
This event is being put on by the MythUnderstood Alliance, and is the brainchild of Atheists on Air with Cash and Love. It will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hickory (1385 Lenoir Rhyne Blvd SE).
What's unusual about this event is that I am going to do a marathon Q&A on the historicity of Jesus (up to 90 minutes, unless the audience runs out of questions first), after another 90 minutes of presentation (or near to…don't worry, there are some breaks in there). I shall be endeavoring to make the latter at least as engaging and entertaining as a bad movie. So it won't just be dry lecture. I'll be playing up as many of the funny bits of the bible and modern scholarship as I can. My focus won't just be on the historicity question, but on the whole broader question of the origins of Christianity: its context, but also what it looks like really happened, what its founding Jews actually thought they were doing by inventing it, and what they invented it for.
And I'm just the keynote! Also speaking that day will be Tracie Harris (of Atheist Community of Austin, Atheist Experience TV show, and Godless Bitches podcast fame) and Ryan Bell (of A Year Without God fame) and teen cult escapee Phoebe Cahours (who has an amazing story of getting away from the Amish, the Mennonites, and the Jehovah's Witnesses–it seems her mother dragged her through several infamous Christian cults). Cash & Love will also have some things to say to the crowd. Overall it sounds like a very interesting and engaging day.

text: When being wasteful appears better than feeling wasteful Volume 5 Jena Economic Research Papers 2011-01-05 2011 2007 2011-002 waste aversion mental accounting violation of dominance counterfactual regret "Waste not want not" expresses our culture's aversion to waste. "I could have gotten the same thing for less" is a sentiment that can diminish pleasure in a transaction. We study people's willingness to "pay" to avoid this spoiler. In one scenario, participants imagined they were looking for a rental apartment, and had bought a subscription to an apartment listing. If a cheaper subscription had been declined, respondents preferred not to discover post hoc that it would have sufficed. Specifically, they preferred ending their quest for the ideal apartment after seeing more, rather than fewer, apartments, so that the length of the search exceeds that available within the cheaper subscription. Other scenarios produced similar results. We conclude that people may sometimes prefer to be wasteful in order to avoid feeling wasteful. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2011-01-05T13:30:54.548Z 2011-01-05T13:31:11.921Z

Jada Payne
Dec. 20, 2013
Box Score | Play-By-Play | Post-Game Quotes
GREENVILLE, N.C. –The East Carolina women's basketball team used a strong offensive attack and stout defense in the second half to roll past Ohio, 76-47, at Minges Coliseum on Friday night. The Pirates' defense put up 10 blocks to rank fourth in the team single-game record book, while redshirt junior post Ondrea Shaw posted six blocks of her own to tie for second in the single-game annals.
In addition to tallying a career-best six blocks, Shaw added a season-high eight points and six rebounds. While Shaw led the defensive attack, redshirt sophomore forward Jada Payne paced the offense with a game-high 24 points to mark her 10th game in which she recorded double-figures. Payne also contributed six boards, a career-high five assists, and a game-best four steals. Kristine Mial, a senior forward, notched 12 points in the contest, while freshman guard J'Kyra Brown registered 11. Brown added a career-high three steals to go along with one rebound and one block, while Mial grabbed six boards.
The East Carolina (10-1) defense was solid as it held Ohio (4-5) to just 27.6-percent shooting in the game. The Pirates recorded 32 defensive rebounds in the contest as sophomore guard Colleen Marshall dished out a season-high five boards, four of which came on defense. Junior forward Tatiana Chapple added to the Pirates' 10 blocks as she posted two which set a new career-best for the Columbus, Ohio native. She also recorded three rebounds, all defensive, and an assist.
Despite being down by two (35-33) at halftime, the Pirates came out on a hot streak in the second half as they kicked off the frame on a 17-2 run to take a 50-37 advantage over the Bobcats. ECU's offense shot 60-percent (15-for-25) in the final 20 minutes of action, while the Pirate defense limited Ohio to just 11.5-percent shooting (3-for-26). East Carolina did not allow Ohio one three-point field goal in the second half as the Bobcats were 0-for-9 from beyond the arc. Additionally, the Pirates out-scored the Bobcats 43-12 in the frame.
East Carolina used several runs in the second half to turn as much as an eight-point deficit (22-14) from the first half into a 29-point (76-47) victory. The Pirates held the Bobcats scoreless for nearly four-minutes in the frame, while ECU went on a 10-0 run to break the game open.
In the second half alone, Payne recorded 16 points, four rebounds, four assists and two steals. Shaw notched five of her six blocks in the final 20 minutes of the contest, while adding four points and three boards.
Although Ohio led in the first half, 35-33, the Pirates still held the edge in bench points (15-7), assists (3-2), blocks (3-1) and steals (5-3) in the frame. ECU also forced the Bobcats into eight turnovers in the first half and collected five points off of turnovers.
In the game, the Pirates shot 43.6-percent from the field and out-rebounded Ohio 41-38. East Carolina also posted 10 assists to the Bobcats' two, 10 blocks, while Ohio notched a pair, and 14 steals to Ohio's eight. ECU finished the game with 14 points off of the Bobcats' 22 turnovers and outscored the visitor's bench 32-10.
Ohio was led offensively by sophomore forward Lexie Baldwin who recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Redshirt sophomore guard Kat Yelle added nine points with two boards and one steal.
Following a nine-day hiatus for the winter break holidays, East Carolina will return to action on Saturday, December 29, at Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach, Fla. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m.

In remarks for yesterday's Wednesday General Audience in St. Peter's Square, Pope Francis reflected on the importance of the sacrament of confirmation as a sacrament which gives believers the strength to proclaim the faith and be witnesses to it through the power of the Holy Spirit, explaining that it is "inextricably" linked to our baptism. "It unites us more firmly to Christ," the Holy Father said, "it strengthens our relationship with the Church and it gives us a special strength from the Holy Spirit to defend the faith and confess the name of Christ."
"Confirmation, together with baptism and the Eucharist, is one of the sacraments of Christian initiation," taught the Pontiff, noting that with baptism and the eucharist, it is a part "of the unique process of Christian initiation, through which we are gradually inserted in Christ, dead and risen, and we receive a new life, making us members of the Church." The very word confirmation "indicates that this sacrament ratifies baptismal grace," saying that when we are confirmed "through the sacramental sign of anointing with sacred chrism, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit in order to be more closely conformed to Christ, God's 'anointed one.'"
"We are also strengthened – 'confirmed' – in the grace of our Baptism and in our mission of bearing daily witness to Christ and his love," Francis said, "confirmation is God's work," The sacrament "ensures that our life be embodied in the image of his son, for us to love like him, infusing his Holy Spirit."
"This Spirit acts with strength within us, within all people and during one's whole life," he emphasized, highlighting that "when we receive him in our hearts, Christ makes himself present and takes shape in our lives," the Pope declared.
"It is He who prays, forgives, infuses hope, serves the brothers most in need, creates communion and seeds peace in our lives. It is He who does that!" The Holy Father then turned to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. "Spiritual gifts of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord." Pope Francis then urged the crowds in the square to "ask that, filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit, we may always mirror Christ's presence in our relations with others, our openness to those in need, and our living witness to the Gospel message of joy and peace."

Nakatsu Castle
The daimyo Kuroda Yoshitaka, who governed this region in 1587, began construction of Nakatsu Castle (Nakatsu-jo). It was then completed by the daimyo Hosokawa Tadaoki, who subsequently came to govern this region. The total area of the castle grounds was about 78,000 sq m, and the shape of the whole castle grounds resembles an open fan. The entire castle was destroyed by fire in the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877. The present five-tiered donjon was built in 1964, and heirlooms of families that governed this region in the past are exhibited inside the donjon. The top floor is an observation level.

I have noticed that when I type in some programs, Text Editor, Terminal, Bluefish, Gnome Baker, etc. the mouse cursor disappears while I am typing. In other programs like Firefox and LibreOffice, it does not.
I am not an application programmer, but I imagined it has to do with their cross-platform nature and the way they are compiled or the toolkits they use. Then I noticed that Gnome-Do behaves the same way, the cursor stays on screen while typing.
Why is there inconsistent handling of the mouse cursor, while typing, across different applications?
Thank you.

On this day in movie history, March 17, 1972, Pink Flamingos was released. An American transgressive black comedy exploitation film written, produced, composed, shot, edited, and directed by John Waters, produced on a budget of only $10,000, and shot mostly on weekends in Phoenix, a suburb of Baltimore, Maryland, it caused a huge degree of controversy due to the wide range of perverse acts performed in explicit detail.
Transvestism, black market babies, cannibalism, animal crushing, furniture licking, transgender sex, public indecency, the heroin trade — when it comes to the depiction of taboo subject matter, John Waters' Pink Flamingos has it all.
After screenings at universities across the U.S. including Harvard College in 1973, the film was distributed theatrically by Saliva Films. and later by New Line Cinema and became a nationally known film. It has since become one of the most notorious films ever made and made an underground star of the flamboyant drag queen actor Divine. The film co-stars David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole, Danny Mills, Cookie Mueller, and Edith Massey.
Since its release it has had a rather devoted cult following and is one of Waters' most iconic films.
In 1997, upon its 25th anniversary of the 1972 premiere, the film was re-released. The new version featured an improved stereo soundtrack (which, unlike the original, was made available to the general public, on compact disc). After the end of the original film, the new version contained a brief video commentary by Waters, plus a few scenes cut from the original release. The re-release was rated NC-17 by the Motion Picture Association of America; this edition was later released on DVD.
The film came in at #29 on the list of 50 Films to See Before You Die on a show in the United Kingdom.
1913 - Frederick Brisson (producer: The Velvet Touch, Under the Yum Yum Tree, Generation, Mrs. Pollifax--Spy; died Oct 8, 1984)
1919 -Nat 'King' Cole (Nathaniel Adams Coles) (jazz pianist, bandleader: King Cole Trio; songwriter: Straighten Up and Fly Right; actor: St. Louis Blues; singer: Mona Lisa, Too Young, Unforgettable, Pretend, Ballerina, Ramblin' Rose, The Christmas Song; actor: Cat Ballou; first black entertainer to host a national TV show; father of singer, Natalie Cole; died Feb 15, 1965)
1949 - Patrick Duffy (actor: Dallas, Man from Atlantis, Step-by-Step video with Suzanne Somers)
1951 - Kurt Russell (actor: Executive Decision, Backdraft, Elvis, Used Cars, Escape from New York, Big Trouble in Little China, Tango & Cash, Stargate, Tombstone, 3000 Miles to Graceland)

Jim Bailey
Hall of Fame Inductee
Coach Info:
|Hall of Fame Inductee
|Other Position:
|1993 Inductee, Track and Field 1955-57
Recognized as one of the greatest distance runners of his era, he competed in track and field's glamour event and etched part of its history. A middle distance runner from Australia, he ran the mile in under four minutes for the first time on American soil, beating the world recordholder in the process before a crowd of 40,000 in Los Angeles' Memorial Coliseum in the spring of 1956.
He came to Oregon at the age of 26 because he "liked the way Oregon alums talked about their school." While a member of that running fraternity, he won two conference titles and the 1955 NCAA mile crown during his career, but his 3:58.6 will always be a landmark. He was an Olympian for Australia in the 800 while at Oregon.

Munni said... March 23, 2010 at 3:12 AM
The really interesting point, in my opinion, is whether Faeghlis plays ally or horde side on Khaz. If ally, I might find things easier soon, if horde, I should maybe transfer an off server toon to fill in some holes. The 20k isn't such a big deal.
Faeghleis said... March 23, 2010 at 5:26 AM
As is stated in the podcast. If lvl 80's decide to swarm we will suspend the event.
Anonymous said... March 23, 2010 at 7:53 AM
And what makes you think that only one person brings a group of three?
If just 5 people have that idea, you're toast. And because it's 20k gold I think more then one person will think of it, especially now that it has been written on your blog.
Very fun idea though.
Markco said... March 23, 2010 at 8:35 AM
Keep in mind, I have very powerful friends :)
They will help me kill any annoying 80's that show up...

Of course, there is the 80's that just might want to be there for entertainment purposes.

Very interesting and potentially fun event!
Of course, even if someone brings 5 lvl 80 buddies, who's to say my newly-created lvl 3 alt doesn't swoop in and claim the prize? Your friends may try to clear a path, but anyone can open trade. :)

simon 3d
Here he goes again, with pathetic pleading for a handout... You see:
at the part where you´re to knock on the door I´m stuck!... I know what I´m supposed to do, it´s just so durn difficult!... Anybody with help or maybe mail me an attached save file immediately after it´s opened?...
Man that bloody game.
It's supposed to be awful, but I never played it.
I love the first game, the second game is good but not really the same (and Simon's character become less likeable), the third one I've stayed away from, and the fourth looks very German (not necessarily a bad thing! But it would seem to be very different from the first, very English, game).
I think there should be more game remakes, like movies are remade. Take the same basic plot, but make the game world fully 3D and explorable, and with iMuse high quality music, and new puzzles, and more character development
That's something I'd probably throw a couple of interns on if I were President at LucasArts. Re-make the first two Monkey Island games for Steam and the Wii, the code is already there you just need to make it look nicer. It can't take that long to do, and then we'll see how it plays out.
I'm more for remake games that go further than mere graphical improvements, though. I don't think it would work for the first two Monkey Island games so much, because they're seen as such classics, and also the plots are so unique. But Simon The Sorcerer is basically a remake of Monkey Island, so a remake of STS with expanded plot characters and gameplay would probably work.
Another example of a remake would be The Last Crusade, but not Fate of Atlantis. You see the difference?
Oh man.
"Oh man," indeed. It's still very German... but oh the American voices (apart from that dead guy at the end).
In my opinion, no Simon The Sorcerer game should be able to be produced without Chris Barrie signed on first.
Simon 3d was truly awful, if you were worried about how unlikable he bacems in Simon 2, in Simon 3, he's basically a douche, you have no control over how crappily he treats others and becomes incredibly moronic.
From the simon 4, that looks to be changed slightly, but I doubt I could get over the American voice. I probably won't be playing it,
I think I heard the first puzzle in the game is you killing someone, or something like that? Very bizarre.

Over the weekend, it was revealed that one of the stars of A&E's "Shipping Wars," Roy Garber, had suffered a heart attack and died. His cat Muffy, a "fixture on the show," according to a Jan. 20, 2014 TMZ report, is safe and headed to a loving home.
Garber refused to travel anywhere without Muffy, who was by his side when he died on Friday, Jan. 17, the reality cast member's girlfriend told TMZ.
Texas authorities informed the tabloid website that Garber's family is shipping Muffy to his home state – New Hampshire – where she will reside with his mother.
Variety reports that Garber passed away just two days after "Shipping Wars" finished filming its fifth season on Jan. 15.
According to A&E's "Shipping Wars" website, Garber, who started Arbie's Team Transport after raising his son, "is one of the top earners in the country."
His bio notes Garber supported his son, Travis, by "running a small home building and remodeling company."
According to A&E, Garber also "sometimes heads to the deep waters of the Gulf Coast in pursuit of the largest Shark he can find."
Starcasm reports, the "Shipping Wars" Facebook page shared a post Saturday night, which read, "We are deeply saddened by the loss of a member of the A&E family. Our thoughts are with Roy's loved ones during this difficult time. He will be missed."
Garber was reportedly 49.

Paintings in Proust - A Visual Companion to In Search of Lost Time (Eric Karpeles, London, Thames & Hudson, 2008) was translated by Pierre Saint-Jean under the title Le Musée imaginaire de Marcel Proust - Tous les tableaux de À la recherche du temps perdu (2009). After a short doubtful introduction - "La perspicacité psychosexuelle dont il [Marcel Proust] fit preuve pour élaborer ses personnages épicènes l'ont à jamais transformé en père fondateur des queer studies."(*) - the book divisions follow the volumes of À la recherche. Short text extracts in which a painting is alluded to are presented (in the original text from Proust in this 'translation') together with a reproduction of the corresponding painting. It's a great way to wander along Proust's masterpiece, as well as a very useful companion when reading it. For example the lines where Swann refers to Françoise's new kitchen-maid as "la Charité de Giotto" are printed along a reproduction of the Caritas from the Arena Chapel frescoes in Padua.
In the year in which we ate such a quantity of asparagus, the kitchen-maid whose duty it was to prepare them was a poor sickly creature, some way "gone" in pregnancy when we arrived at Combray for Easter, and it was indeed surprising that Françoise allowed her to run so many errands and to do so much work, for she was beginning to find difficult in bearing before her the mysterious basket, fuller and larger every day, whose splendid outline could be detected beneath the folds of her ample smock. This last recalled the cloaks in which Giotto shrouds some of his allegorical figures, of which M. Swann had given me photographs. He it was who pointed out the resemblance, and when he inquired after the kitchen-maid he would say: "Well, how goes it with Giotto's Charity?" And indeed the poor girl, whose pregnancy had swelled and stoutened every part of her, even including her face and her squarish, elongated cheeks, did distinctly suggest whose virgins, so sturdy and mannish as to seem matrons rather, in whom the Virtues are personified in the Arena Chapel. And I can see now that those Virtues and Vices of Padua resembled her in another respect as well. For just as the figure of this girl had been enlarged by the additional symbol which she carried before her, without appearing to understand its meaning, with no awareness in her facial expression of its beauty and spiritual significance, as if it were an ordinary rather heavy burden, so it is without any apparent suspicion of what she is about that the powerfully built housewife who is portrayed in the Arena Chapel beneath the label "Caritas," and a reproduction of whose portrait hung upon the wall of my schoolrooom at Combray, embodies that virtue, for it seems impossible that any thought of charity can ever have found expression in her vulgar and energetic face. (translation by C.K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin, revised by D.J. Enright, in the Modern Library edition, 1992)
Now you really want to take a look at Giotto's Caritas, don't you?
Very good and concise review of Hitler's Private Library: the Books that shaped his life (Timothy W. Ryback, Knopf, 2008, 304p) by Ritchie Robertson in the March 6th issue of the TLS (Was Hitler a bookworm?). Only a small proportion of Hitler's library survives: "Although enough survives to tell us a good deal about Hitler's mental world, though the reader of this book must not expect too much." "Hitler's library is most remarkable by what it didn't contain." Schopenhauer, Nietzsche. "The other striking absence is literature." "Though carefully researched, the book is carelessly written." If the topic is of interest to you, read the longer review by Anthony Grafton published in the December 24, 2008 issue of The New Republic (Mein Buch). Grafton concludes that "Hitler's Private Library offers clear proof, if any was needed, that Hitler's worldview did not represent, as American propaganda claimed, the culmination of centuries of German thought."
I found with great pleasure my copy of the New York Times
under my door when I came back home last Tuesday. The pleasure was
further increased by the beautiful color reproduction, on the front
page, of an old portrait claimed to be of Shakespeare. The
painting was recently identified among the collection of an Anglo-Irish
family, the Cobbes. It was inherited from Henry Wriothesley, the 3rd
Earl of Southampton, Shakespeare's patron. British experts who have
been studying it claim "it is the holy grail Shakespearean scholars had
sought for centuries: a portrait done in Shakespeare's lifetime, and
the original from which other Shakespeare paintings of the period were
copied. They said their studies showed it probably was painted in 1610,
when Shakespeare was 46, and only a few years from his death in 1616."
They add: "The portrait might open a new era in Shakespeare
scholarship, giving fresh momentum, among other things, to generations
of speculation as to whether the playwright, a married man with three
children, was bisexual. Until now, that suggestion has hinged mostly on
dedications to the Earl of Southampton that Shakespeare wrote with some
of his best-loved poems and some of the sensual passages in his poems
and plays, particularly his sonnets, most of which, the London scholars
said, are centered on expressions of love and desire for men, not
women." The portrait shows a very handsome and attractive man. I let
you go to the New York Times site to admire it, and read the corresponding articles (Portrait of Shakespeare Unveiled, 399 Years Late, Is This a Shakespeare Which I See Before Me?).
James Purdy (1923-2009) died on Friday. Stephen Guy-Bray writes in glbtq that his novels "often describe obsessive love between men for whom homosexuality is unthinkable and whose fate is inevitably bleak." The New York Times published a substantial obituary on Saturday (James Purdy, Darkly Comic Writer, Dies at 94) which made me want to read The Nephew:
(*) The psychosexual acuteness with which he [Marcel Proust] painted his neither-male-nor-female characters have made of him, forever, the Founding Father of Queer Studies.

We're Taking Nominations RIGHT HERE — Who wants to be a GOP state senator? 21 Days left to get 40 signatures.
(A) Three weeks to get (B) 40 signatures and spend (C) $953 for a filing fee. In Equation form that would be ….. 3 + 40 + 953= Republican State senator. It could be YOU! So The Chair now recognizes YOU to make a Nomination right here in the COMMENTS section below. Or if you prefer a lower-profile, please send me a confidential e-mail at email@example.com I promise your nominee will then be surfaced with Republican leaders in a position to make things happen.
You say that's not enough? You say you Want More? Then remember that (D) incumbent Chris Kehoe is term-limited and (E) the new state Map adds GOP strongholds like Rancho Bernardo, San Carlos, Del Cerro, Mira Mesa and Coronado. All that is lacking is a Republican candidate to face Demo nominee Marty Block. If You, a Friend, relative or colleague has waited for Opportunity to Knock… then start Listening right now, because there it is!
Here's how the Rostra Election Institute sees things with help from the Victory Bear and his patented "Break It Down" software program:
Lean Republican: (18) Rancho Bernardo, Point Loma, Allied Gardens, San Carlos, Clairemont, Bay Park, Rancho Penasquitos, Mira Mesa, Serra Mesa, Del Cerro, Tierrasanta, Navajo, La Jolla, University City, Mission Village, Fairbanks Ranch, Carmel Valley, Coronado.
Lean Democratic: (13) …. Linda Vista, South Park, Oak Park, Normal Heights, North Park, Hillcrest, Mission Valley, Mission Hills, Downtown, Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, College Area, Del Mar.
That summary of Neighborhoods within the new 39th State Senate district views their general political affiliations based on past election returns. The Victory Bear analysis substantially pits North of I-8 neighborhoods (Republican) vs. the communities South of Interstate 8 (mostly Democratic). Though the Bear asks that we note that Point Loma and Coronado are South of I-8, and Del Mar / UCSD are north of it.
Please spread the word, and tweet this post. Or write me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Your candiate nominations will be confidentially forwarded to the Right people to get things rolling.
2012 might well be YOUR year.

There is no way the state or county party can let this seat go without a major candidate mounting a major campaign. Faulconer, Thalheimer, Boling, heck even Plescia, one of them, or someone on or near their level, needs to step up and take on and beat Marty Block.
I've posted on my fb page that I'd like Kevin to run but hasn't the district become less competitive? Is it all about who can raise the most cash? Would the Republican Party put any elbow grease in the effort or just leave him hanging like they do other candidates in Democratic-leaning districts?
Hello Paul: Thanks to the lone San Diegan on the State Redistricting Commission (Gilbert Ontai) Senate District 39 is now more competitive. As redrawn, places like Rancho Bernardo, San Carlos, Del Cerro, Mira Mesa and Coronado are now in SD 39. All lean Republican. The district is a toss-up between the Parties.
Jim Sills
Trust me. We WILL have a major candidate. Hopefully just one.
There are some in the GOP that refuse to let this seat go over to the dark side without a huge fight.
And it IS winnable. Not five years ago, perhaps. But these are different times.
From our perspective, in the 39th, it's likely that union stooge Marty Block could make MOST Democrat opponents look good in comparison.
But I strongly suspect we can do better. MUCH better.
A dedicated candidate who loves this state and wants to get things done will step in. The GOP has to gain this seat.
Are you saying that Democrats don't love this State?
Everybody loves California, but they often have
different ideas on how to express that affection.
Thus the 2-party system.
Jim Sills
Agreed completely. In fact that is why we have more than two parties. I just think we would function much better as a society if we didn't resort to accusing those we politically disagree with of being unpatriotic or, in this case, un-Californian.
Glad we agree on that principle. But no one
is accusing you of being un-Californian.
Jim Sills
Alger, I am not saying at all that Democrats don't love this state. My comment was in two parts and more meant to suggest that a good solid and issues race based on the candidates' (plural) love of California is what is needed. I would never, ever intend to say that someone I disagree with does not love California. Our Country and our state are great because of differing ideas that somewhere in between compromise can be found. That is all I was getting at.
At the risk of getting into another pointless argument with you, you are wrong on two accounts:
1. Whether or not a Party has automatic ballot access is based on the results/registrations of gubernatorial, not presidential elections. Therefore, your fear cannot possibly happen until after the 2014 election.
2. More to the point, your fear will not happen at all because ballot access is not based solely on voting results; it is also based on voter registration. A Political Party will maintain its ballot access if even 1% (actually much less than 1% since not all registered voters vote, especially in a gubernatorial election) of all registered voters register in that Party.
Per Wikipedia:
"California: Per section 5100 of the California Election Code, ballot access requires one of the two conditions below to be met.

NE: The show is funny, so men like it. And it's about women, and thankfully lots of men are actually interested in women. But clothes just don't have the emotional power for men they do for women.
The national tour kicks off in September in Chicago. Where else are you planning to take the lovely ladies?
NE: The plan is to take it across the country, although I don't think we've announced specific cities yet.
DE: It's actually played all over the world already! Canada, South America, France... I actually went to Australia for the show's opening at the Sydney Opera House earlier this year.

NE: But only sort of.
