TUCSON--Oregon State's defense proved to be too much for Arizona to overcome especially in the closing moments and the Wildcats fell, 17-10, in Pac-10 action Saturday night before a Family Weekend crowd of 57,113.
UA had the ball and a chance to tie, moving into OSU territory with less than a minute remaining, but the Beavers' pass pressure sacked Wildcat quarterback Kris Heavner to force a hurried play, and on a desperation throw with time running out Heavner threw his second interception of the game, with Daniel Drayton picking off the throw near the goal line as time expired.
It was much the same much of the night, although the Cats' defense performed well, too. UA managed only 13 first downs and 183 yards in total offense, but had trouble on third down (2 for 12) and wasn't able to capitalize on some solid opportunities. OSU rushed for 151 yards led by Yvenson Bernard's 107 yards and quarterback Matt Moore completed 16 of 22 throws for 181 yards and a score. One key was OSU's 11 tackles for loss, three of those sacks.
Heavner finished with 17 completions in 26 attempts for 161 yards, while UA's leading rusher was Chris Henry with 19 net yards on 9 carries. Syndric Steptoe scored UA's only touchdown on a special teams' play, returning a third-quarter punt 67 yards to breathe some life into the Cats. Henry was the leading receiver with a career-high eight grabs for 87 yards.
UA's lost fumble in the first quarter on a center-quarteback exchange set up OSU's first score, while UA's three turnovers gained did not lead to any points. UA had average starting field position at its own 35-yard line while UA punter Nick Folk helped hold OSU to average field position at its own 26, thanks in part to a career-best 78-yard punt in the second half. UA's offense suffered from six three-and-out possessions.
Oregon State drove 94 yards in 10 plays to open the scoring on its first possession, capped by a Matt Moore touchdown throw of 34 yards to Sammie Stroughter. Moore complete all four of his passes on the drive, and Yvenson Bernard carried the rushing load for OSU, with five carries for 20 yards.
Arizona started wide receiver Anthony Johnson at quarterback for a speed-option change of pace to open the game, but brought in senior two-year letterman Kris Heavner on its second possession.
OSU drove into Arizona territory on the next possession, but Moore was intercepted by UA nickel back Marcus Hollingsworth on the UA 20. The Cats drove to midfield, but Heavner mishandled a snap and OSU's Joey LaRocque recovered to set up the Beavers for a short-field drive. Moore led OSU to another score, plunging in from the 1-yard line to extend the lead.
Arizona linebacker Dane Krogstad picked off his first pass a short while later, returning it 29 yards to the OSU 13 yard-line, but the Beavers' defense stiffened in the red zone, holding Arizona to 12 yards in the next eight plays and forcing the Cats to give up the ball on downs when Heavner's 4th-and-goal pass attempt to Brad Wood was incomplete.
The Cats held OSU on the next three plays, forcing its first punt of the day and after Syndric Steptoe's fair catch at the 45-yard line, Arizona drove 32 yards in five plays to set up a 30-yard field goal by Nick Folk to put UA on the scoreboard in the closing moments of the half.
Steptoe took a punt back 67 yards for a touchdown with about seven minutes left in the third quarter to cut the lead to 14-10.
Both teams tightened on defense for a couple of exchanges, but the Beavers drove 84 yards in 11 plays to set up Lou Groza Award winner Alexis Serna for an 18-yard field goal to give OSU a 17-10 lead at the 7:26 mark in the fourth quarter.

The Cambodian Human Rights Network Project is a new approach
to promoting human rights from the grassroots up in Cambodia. The Project will
establish a Network of communities which – unlike existing Networks which have
tended to focus on the goal of speaking with one voice to the point of taking
on the identity of distinct organizations – will not be strongly branded, speak
on behalf of its participants nor enforce unnatural joint advocacy. The
main premise on which the Network is based is that civic-driven change is best
brought about by communities.
The primary objective of the Project is to achieve the
decentralization of human rights activism, establishing communities as the
primary drivers of change in Cambodia. To this end, Network Participants will
receive capacity building training on human rights, monitoring and
documentation, advocacy and organizational development. Through the Network
infrastructure, community based organizations (CBOs) will be connected and will
be encouraged to collaborate in the furtherance of shared objectives. Through
the Project's small grants scheme, Network Participants can seek funding for
activities in the furtherance of their objectives. Network Participants will
receive guidance and support from CCHR and other partner NGOs in undertaking
activities and in addressing any issues or problems that confront their
communities or their members. Activities undertaken by Network Participants
will receive coverage on CCHR's radio airtime, information will also be
disseminated about individual Network Participants and the activities they
undertake to promote and protect human rights and the interests of their
communities. It is expected that the use of the radio to share information
about community driven activities, will act to spur on other communities to
work together to create change.
Cambodia suffers from widespread violations of human rights. Large and established NGOs have had only limited success in addressing these violations and in encouraging greater respect for human rights. This lack of success is partly due to the flawed and outdated manner in which some NGOs work. There is limited
collaboration, extensive duplication, and a distinct lack of specialization.
Further the human rights field is marked by established NGOs' top down approach
and apparent desire for control, meaning that communities and smaller
organizations are often told what to do rather asked – they are led rather than
empowered. Many NGOs claim to speak on behalf of 'civil society' and yet rarely
listen to what communities are saying.
The Project seeks to decentralize human rights activism in Cambodia by
empowering CBOs to drive the change they see as necessary in their communities.
Empowered CBOs will be able to utilize their local knowledge in their advocacy
and will be able to achieve resolutions distinct from the generic centrally
formulated approaches offered by national NGOs. To this end, CBOs will receive
training on human rights, monitoring and documentation, and advocacy, they will
be linked to each other and encouraged to engage in joint advocacy and they
will receive support and advice from CCHR, support will include use of our air
time and access to the Project small grants fund.
Through the Project, CCHR seeks to empower CBOs which we
consider have the greatest capacity to affect change on issues of particular
concern. Throughout the Pilot period, CCHR will work predominantly with CBOs
that work in relation to the issues of land, labour and fisheries. During the
Pilot period, development CBOs will not be invited to participate in the
Network. The reason for this being that development CBOs are generally better
funded and supported by larger organizations than CBOs that work on issues of
land, labour and fisheries. In order to identify potential Network
Participants, CCHR uses our extensive network of grassroots contacts and
travels to Target Areas to meet with CBOs and to discuss the benefits of
participation in the Network. In order to identify which groups have the
greatest capacity to affect change within their communities, CCHR conducts a
needs assessment of individual CBOs. The needs assessment considers the number
of members, the extent of their ongoing and planned activities, their ambitions
and their ability to organize in the furtherance of their objectives.
Once selected, CBOs become Network Participants. Information about each CBO is
included in the Network Directory, which is available online and in hard copy.
Network Participants are encouraged to contact CCHR through the Network hotline
to receive guidance on issues that arise and are referred to other NGOs with
relevant expertise when CCHR does not have the necessary expertise on a given
issue. Network Participants receive capacity building training in the areas of
human rights, monitoring and documentation, and advocacy. Once training is
complete, Network Participants are encouraged to apply for funding to support
activities through the Project small grants scheme, and are also encouraged to
seek guidance from CCHR and other NGOs on the steps to be taken in conducting
activities. Individual and joint activities undertaken by Network Participants
will be broadcast on radio using CCHR's airtime.
The Project was launched in June 2010 and significant
progress has been made in establishing the Network and identifying potential
Network Participants. The Network will be fully established and Network
Participants empowered, through the following activities:
The Project seeks to decentralize human rights activism in
Cambodia. To this end, the Project will target CBOs working to promote respect
for human rights at a grassroots community level. By the conclusion of the
Pilot Project period in May 2012, 30 CBOs will have joined the Network,
becoming Network Participants.
In 2011, CCHR will target CBOs working in Battambang and Siem Reap Provinces.
Over the course of the year, ten Network Participants from Battambang and Siem
Reap Provinces will join the Network, becoming Network Participants. In the
first half of 2012, the Network will be extended to an additional two
Provinces. This will be repeated every six months until the Network covers the
entire geographical area of Cambodia.

In honor of the sacrifices of our wounded veterans, several truck accessory compaines got together to build a truck that would be a reminder to those that served our country. The project was the concept of A.R.E Manufacturing, a leading truck cap and tonneau manufacturer who purchased a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and began the process of building up the truck. "We built the A.R.E. project truck to honor and raise awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project, which is a vitally important organization relied upon by many military members and their families," said Bryan Baker, director of marketing, A.R.E. "The central message of this vehicle is that A.R.E. supports the people who protect and serve this country, especially those wounded in action."
The truck was built with products from a variety of aftermarket manufacturers, including Trent's Trick Upholstery, and Lynch Conceps, who did most of the work. The truck features an A.R.E. Z-Series Truck Cap and customized off-roading equipment, including a jack, shovel and axe that are all painted to match the vehicle. The truck also features a fiberglass roof-top tent manufactured by AutoHome USA, which was added to the truck cap with a Yakima Whispbar HD Roof Rack system. The roof-top tent is contrasted with a high-gloss green camouflage-style paint, and green tinted windows.
Featuring the Wounded Warrior Project logo on the sides of the truck, the flat black and gray camouflage-style paint scheme was painted by Aaron Lynch at Custom Paint Work, who used Axalta Coating Systems Paint. A Skyjacker Suspension kit, with BMF wheels and Toyo tires give the truck its added ride height. The truck also has Hellwig anti- sway bars, N-Fab side steps and bumpers, and a Warn Winch that uses a Factor-55 winch safety thimble.
The truck's engine performance is enhanced with a combination of an APM Automotive functional ram air hood that feeds fresh air into the Airaid cold air intake, and allows the engine to efficiently expel the exhaust through a high-flow Magnaflow Cat-Back system.
The Silverado can also carry lots of cargo with its Surco Safari roof rack basket. A Bolt hitch lock allows the use of the ignition key to lock any trailer connected to the truck, and Monster Hook hitch hooks allow the Silverado to be used as an anchor for other vehicles to winch their way out of trouble.
A set of Bushwacker fender flares also helps to provide an aggressive appearance, but a combination of Rigid Industries LED lighting and front grille, as well as Oracle LED headlights and accent lighting, makes the truck shine like an angel in the dark. The final features that polish off the Wounded Warrior Project Truck are a Kicker Speaker System, Reikken Performance battery cells, a lockable truck bed storage vault by Truck Vault, and a BedRug carpeted bedliner. All put together the truck is a symbol of honor and respect to our nation's heroes, spreading a message that there is remembrance for the fallen and hope for the wounded warriors of America.

Sherri L Edelen and Thomas Adrian Simpson are one of DC's finest theatrical couples. They are currently playing opposite each other in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas at Signature Theatre in the roles of Miss Mona Stangley and Sherriff Ed Earl Dodd. They both won Helen Hayes Awards for their work on Signature's Les Miserables and have appeared either together or separate at Signature in Urinetown, Side By Side By Sondheim, The Boy Detective Fails, Walter Cronkite is Dead, and The Witches of Eastwick to name a few. Some of Thomas's other credits include Liberty Smith and 1776 at Ford's Theatre, Oh, Coward! and Oliver at Olney Theatre Center and Adding Machine, A Musical at The Studio Theatre. Additional credits for Sherri include The Light in The Piazza (Barrymore Award winner) and Elegies (Barrymore Award nomination) for Philadelphia Theatre Company, Our Town at Arden Theatre and The World Goes Round and The Diary of Anne Frank at Round House Theatre. When you go to see The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas at Signature Theatre, and I really suggest you do so, take note of the chemistry Sherri and Thomas have onstage. It is just one of the reasons the show is just so darn good. It is not necessarily a good thing to be in the same profession as your spouse but as you will read, with Sherri and Thomas it is the perfect fit for these two very talented performers.
Where did you two first meet?
Sherri- We met at Signature's old space, the garage, in September of 2003 during Hurricane Isabelle. I was doing a reading of The Highest Yellow in the lobby and Marcia Gardner had Tom come in and read the stage directions. We had no power due to the storm and Eric Schaeffer strung up bare light bulbs on a wire for us to do the reading. I had seen Tom in shows around town and I went up to him and said, "I know everybody you know. Why don't I know you?" Then we both did a production of A Christmas Carol at Ford's Theatre (the final David Bell version) that holiday season. We took a liking to each other, but I was kind of seeing someone long distance (which ended in January 2004). So we just hung out as friends. That friendship became the best foundation for our relationship. We officially started dating in March of 2004. I kept him on a long leash!!
Thomas- We met at Signature Theatre doing a reading of The Highest Yellow.
How many productions have you appeared in together?
Sherri-A Christmas Carol, The Witches of Eastwick, A Murder, A Mystery and A Marriage, Urinetown, The Boy Detective Fails, The Hollow and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. I may be leaving something out.
Thomas- We've done five or six plays together.
Can you each please tell us about your character in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas?
Sherri- Mona Stangley is loosely based on Edna Milton, the actual Madame of The Chicken Ranch in LaGrange, TX. Edna was born in OK, one of many children. Perhaps she chose prostitution due to necessity. But she was bequeathed the Chicken Ranch by the prior madame, Miss Jessie Williams (Miss Wulla Jean in the show) in 1952. I have yet to find much about her life before The Chicken Ranch. The Ranch closed in 1972 or '73, depending on which online article you read. So she had a great business for 20 years. She continued the business concept of Miss Jessie. The girls were given medical care regularly and had free room and board. The men had to be cleaned as well. And it's rumored that over 300 customers could visit the Ranch in a day. "We go in for mass volume and repeat business," to quote a line from the show. Now when they opened the show on Broadway, Edna was known to say, "The only thing true about that show is that there was a Chicken Ranch." So many liberties are taken. For example, Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd (based on Sheriff TJ Flournoy) had a long unspoken relationship in the show. But not true of Edna and TJ. But TJ did protect her. After all, she was bringing in a respectable amount of folks into LaGrange.
Thomas- Ed Earl is a guy's guy – outdoorsy, hardworking, simple and not very good at expressing his feelings.
Is it hard being in the same profession as your spouse or does it provide good therapy after a long day?
Sherri-The downside is that our combined incomes aren't that great. Some years it's great, some not. But we round out our incomes with smaller gigs as we can. We only get one day off a week and often that's not enough time to get things done. But sometimes we have 6 weeks off or more between shows. It's a crazy life! The up side is that we can help each other out with our scene work and for this show, we ride in to work together which saves a lot of money in our Fredericksburg to DC commute.
Thomas- Being married to another actor is only hard when it comes to paying the bills and planning vacations.
Of the shows you have appeared in together which is your favorite?
Sherri-I loved Urinetown, The Boy Detective Fails and now Whorehouse. I could have run Urinetown a long time. Tom and I only had one very small scene together in that, but so much fun!!! The whole show was a blast! Sig should revive it! Tom was so good in The Boy Detective Fails and I have hopes for the future of that wonderful show by Adam Gwon and Joe Meno. Whorehouse has such lovely scenes between us. It was fun to work on it with Tom and we did so much homework at home. (Not that kind of homework, Well, maybe, a little…)
Thomas- This is my favorite play with Sherri because we actually get to do scenework together (she's a good partner) and I get to kiss her in the curtain call!
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas plays through October 7, 2012, in Signature's MAX Theatre – 4200 Campbell Avenue, in Arlington, VA. Tickets are available for purchase in person at the Signature Theatre Box Office, online, or by calling Ticketmaster at 703-573-7328.

No. 47 Texas Tech Upsets No. 34 Columbia, 4-3
Felipe Soares led the Red Raiders past Columbia at the Blue Gray National Tennis Classic.
March 15, 2013
Montgomery, Ala. - Freshman Felipe Soares stepped up big on Friday, as he pulled out a three-set win to lead No. 47 Texas Tech to a 4-3 win over No. 34 Columbia in the quarterfinals of the 65th Annual Blue Gray National Tennis Classic at Lagoon Park.
With the teams tied, 3-3, Soars battled back from a 6-4 first-set deficit to win the second 6-3 and take the third 6-4 for the win.
"What an unbelievable battle," said Red Raider head coach Tim Siegel. "Columbia fought so hard. This was such a close and competitive college tennis match. Doubles was the key for us. I am really proud of Felipe. He won the clincher. This was a big win for this team."
Soares started the day as he ended it, as the freshman teamed with senior Jeff Bryan for the first doubles win of the day. The duo topped Columbia's Winston Lin and Cyril Bucher, 8-5.
Columbia answered with a win at No. 3, when Bert Vancura and Dragos Ignat topped Gabriel Wanderley and Francisco Zambon, 8-5.
That left the point to be decided at No. 1 doubles, where Vitor Manzini and Gabriel Dias upset the Lions' No. 24 tandem of Ashok Narayana and Max Schnur, 8-6.
Hugo Dojas gave Texas Tech a 2-0 lead with a 6-3, 6-1 win at No. 6 over Columbia's Nathaniel Gery. But Columbia answered with No. 34 Lin's win at No. 1 over Manzini, 7-5, 6-4 and Schnur's win over Raphael Pfister, 7-5, 7-5 at No. 4.
Texas Tech pushed back ahead, 3-2, after Dias won No. 2, 6-3, 1-6, 6-3, over Dragos Ignat. Columbia evened it back at 3-3 when Vancura topped Zambon, 6-1, 1-6, 7-5 at No. 5 to set up Soares' heroics.
Texas Tech returns to action on Saturday in the semifinals against the winner of No. 29 Cornell and William & Mary.

This line up remained until January 2010 when Rob had to leave and new singer Sergio Lepore joined the group. This five piece became a four piece in 2011 with the departure of Steve. Recently they are back to being a five piece with the addition of keyboard player Curtis Spargo!
Diezel is one of the hardest working bands in the area, covering a wide variety of songs from heavy to poppy, rock to rap, edgy to mellow and the list goes on.

With boating season getting into full swing, it's important for all boaters to insure their own safety by wearing a properly-fitting lifejacket. And new lifejackets aren't your father's lifejackets.
It is very sad what happened to the two young Troy men sometime on Saturday, May 3 when they went missing on a canoe trip and drowned in the Ohio River.
The Ohio River is more dangerous than it looks. You can stand on a shore and look out over the river and at times it appears like a large lake, calm and peaceful. But underneath there is a constant current and cold water, especially at this time of year. It was 62 degrees on May 3.
High and cold river water is a recipe for danger. I don't know what happened. Perhaps nobody ever will, but there is one thing about this drowning incident that puzzles me: why were the two young men not wearing lifejackets?
A lifejacket might not save the life of a person suddenly thrust into cold, moving water, but it should at least give them a fighting chance.
"When a person hits colds water there is an automatic gasp that takes place. If you are wearing a lifejacket, your airway is protected, held above the water and it helps you when you gasp for that breath," said Eileen Corson of the Ohio Division of Watercraft.
Every boat – or canoe or kayak – that leaves the dock must contain a lifejacket for every person on board.
"Don't just have your life jacket close by, wear it," said Gary Obermiller, chief of the Division of Watercraft. "If an accident occurs and you suddenly end up overboard, a life jacket will keep your head above water and could save your life."
Corson points out that lifejackets – or personal floatation devices – do not have to be the big and bulky jackets that most people picture. There are now several options that include inflatable models that you hardly realize you have on.
Additional information on lifejacket safety is available at watercraft.ohiodnr.gov.

Kim Kardashian cannot get enough of the cameras or mirrors; The 33 year old new mommy posted a racy photo to her instragram page Wednesday (March 12) of herself in little sister Kylie Jenner's black bikini:
Quick swim before the Dash party!"
As if the public was not envious enough, Kimmy posed in her skinny, younger sister's tiny 2 piece bathing suit and the fans love it! The reality starlet never misses a moment to show off her sexy curves and post baby North body.
The tight straps hugged her breasts with a peek-a-boo center and ultra low-rise bottoms as she playfully mocked Kylie in the caption:
Yep stole Kylie's bikini...she's not getting it back."
Kim's minor fender bender in her Mercedes Tuesday is clearly just a blur, and with a Paris wedding to plan and invitations to send, some how the Kardashian favorite always finds time to let her fans know she still has it.
I wonder what Yeezus has to say about this!
Is Kim K. doing too much?

I almost seem numb to these things now. Nothing shocks me anymore. I always wondered if it has happened at Iowa State during the good years... and the only thing that would shock me is if it is happening here with Hoiberg.... I think he is to clean to be involved, but what about any of his top recruiters... Could they be doing it without his knowing? I always like to think that Iowa State is above that, and that may be the only thing that would shock me...
Everybody does it. Everybody.

When you look back over the timeline on RV it's hard not to see this happening on the basketball side. Same with Anthony Lee, that OSU commit happened really quick when he already had other visits scheduled. I think it's fair to say ISU probably doesn't have this kind of network, or at least if we do it's not very competent.
If you aren't cheating you aren't trying! Although, if we are doing this we are either giving the kids food stamps or we just suck at cheating too! But as the saying goes "the rich get richer"!
But Shabazzzzz said he went to bed hungry. I'm confused now.
Sounds like we don't have enough bagmen at ISU. PM if interested.

Slimy indeed. Definitely makes you wonder if that happens here ever.
Also, think Allan Lazard.....big time recruit...did other schools "test him" with this stuff?
Really fascinating in the article was the idea they can basically dictate recruiting visits and can blackball a coach out.
My hawk friends always talked about how Korie Lucious drove a brand new Dodge Challenger around campus. I've always wondered how he got that, this article made me think of that.
All I saw was Rashad Vaughn written all over that especially the part where the article says you pay a recruit to not visit a different school. Remember how Rashad just all of a sudden canceled his UNC visit? And how they talk about car dealerships. Well Cliff Findlay owns a huge dealership! So easy to see.

Brady Williams, who is the star of "My Five Wives," has filed for bankruptcy and claims he is broke. TMZ reports on Tuesday that the reality star only has $3.61 in his savings account, but his family has 30 members. Williams gained fame with a TLC show that focuses on his five wives and children.
Williams owes more than $400,000, and his debt has forced him to file for bankruptcy. His family of 24 children and five wives has its own reality show, but it appears that the funds have run out. Williams claims he only has $22 in his wallet, and other assets are very small. The cars are not worth more than $7,000 individually, and he claims his wedding ring is only worth $50. On the other hand, the family's credit card debt is $180,000, and it is part of a long list of problems.
"My Five Wives" includes Robyn, Paulie, Nonie, Rosemary and Rhonda, but he is legally only married to Paulie, so she has the only name added to the bankruptcy filing. The polygamy reality show will return for a second season, and the Williams family has previously mentioned that it will air in the fall. Producers may end up using the bankruptcy as another storyline to add drama to the program.
Several of the wives have jobs outside of the home, but the large family strains their budget. A business loan is also part of their debt, so there are more issues than salaries. Brady is pursuing his college degree while working at a family business, but there are rumors he is simply not able to support 30 people. TLC allegedly provides an important part of their income, and they are not letting the bankruptcy slow them down or stop them from getting ready for the next season of the show.

Artist: Mac
Album: World War III
Genre: Electronic
Dedicated to all the soldiers we lost in the struggle
Probably losin' the world war three niggas
Rest in peace
(chorus-mac & singer)
See I'm beneath the sun, right?
Anticipatin' just waitin' quotin' my battle cry
(how can we live? if we're born to die tomorrow? )
Don't want to die but if I gotta, I'm ready 'cause
Just hope the lord is forgiving as mama said he was, nigga what?
(1st verse)
I struggled and strived long as I been alive
Witnessed my first murder back in 1985
I walk with the wicked and kick it with the thugs
In fact, saw the police and smoked some bud
But never no love, I witnessed the sickness of unprotected lust
So many children born just because the rubbers bust
I sympathize with they mothers but f**k the men
'cause a man ain't shit, if he's no papa to his children
My woman's a thug girl, but I love her dearly
My patnas are thieves and I know that, but I keep em near me
It's gettin' kinda hard for me,
In the city where the drama just be callin' me
I live among the roaches and the rats
And the killers and the crack
And the policemen that slang that smack
I lay me down to sleep, clutchin' my heat
With my sneakers on my feet,
Just in case my window locks on me, I be...
(bridge one)
And that's some real shit right there, ya heard me?
Y'all niggas ain't even understandin' the game nigga
Niggas is dyin', it's a muthaf**kin' world war three on the streets
Nigga, y'all feel it
(verse two)
And as the blood of my niggas flood the streets,
I refuse to speak, the cracks and concrete
Can disguise ya feet
And tears fall at the site of these white sheets
The street like heat
The cold secrets, that midnight keeps
And we was raised by it, it's common as a cold
Eyes are closed, body is froze
Blood leakin' out they nose
I never chose I was given
Survival of the fit livin'
Driven insane by it's rhythm, but f**k
I never gave, see his mind's in the grave
And most of you niggas praise the ways we was raised
It must be that weed smoke,
When most of my niggas need coke, to cope
With these different strokes
It's murder we wrote, into the project
I'm wonderin' if my niggas'll see the site of my death
Before it happen, my life is on the edge of my pen
I'm waitin' to explode countin' to ten,
Forgive me for all the sin nigga
(chorus) (3x)
(bridge two-singer)
Why do we live if we're born to die?
Why do we live if we're born to die?
Why do we live if we're born to die?
Why do we live if we're born to die?
Y'all niggas sing that shit nigga!
Oh, oh, you too cute to sing that shit, ha? bitch ass nigga.

Defense Department: No Purple Hearts for Fort Hood victims because it could jeopardize Nidal Hasan's chance at a fair trial
**Written by Doug Powers
It's been over three years since witnesses say Nidal Hasan shouted "Allahu Akbar" before killing more than a dozen people and injuring well over twice as many at Fort Hood. Even though FBI and congressional investigations found the shootings to be an act of terrorism, the Obama administration categorized the attack as "workplace violence."
The move to prevent those killed and injured at Fort Hood from being awarded Purple Hearts seems to be about saving the administration from having to admit the attack was not "workplace violence," even though the Defense Department claims the reason is that giving Purple Hearts to Fort Hood victims could taint Nidal Hasan's chance at receiving a fair trial:
Legislation that would award the injured from the 2009 Fort Hood shooting the Purple Heart would adversely affect the trial of Maj. Nidal Hasan by labeling the attack terrorism, according to a Defense Department document obtained by Fox News.
The document comes following calls from survivors and their families for the military honor, because they say Fort Hood was turned into a battlefield when Hasan opened fire during the November 2009 attack. Fox News is told that the DOD "position paper" is being circulated specifically in response to the proposed legislation.
The document reads in part:
"Passage of this legislation could directly and indirectly influence potential court-martial panel members, witnesses, or the chain of command, all of whom exercise a critical role under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Defense counsel will argue that Major Hasan cannot receive a fair trial because a branch of government has indirectly declared that Major Hasan is a terrorist — that he is criminally culpable."
A source with knowledge of the position paper told Fox News that DOD is putting on a full-court press by sending senior officials, including generals, to meet with lawmakers in an effort to block support.
I guess if they want medals they'll have to learn how to remotely fly drones.
In the days since 9/11 and the "War on Terror," thousands of Purple Hearts have been awarded, and that didn't prompt anybody in this administration to seek a moratorium on handing them out so as to not prejudice potential jurors while Eric Holder was trying to line up civilian trials for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and others. What gives?
The "workplace violence" label for the attack has additional adverse impact:
Munley and dozens of other victims have now filed a lawsuit against the military alleging the "workplace violence" designation means the Fort Hood victims are receiving lower priority access to medical care as veterans, and a loss of financial benefits available to those whose injuries are classified as "combat related."
Question of the day: "In the Army, your workplace is the battlefield. So shouldn't they get Purple Hearts even if this is workplace violence like the brassheads want everyone to think?"

It seems that every other movie coming out these days is a remake — or a 'reboot' as they're more commonly known. They're generally spoken of in disparaging tones. But as we've seen recently with the release of the (genuinely good) Godzilla and Robocop remakes, some of them are actually pretty awesome!
Here are twelve movie remakes that manage to be as good -if not better- than the originals
1. The Thing (1982)
Before Kurt Russell and his scientist buddies started flaming aliens in the Antarctic, there was 1951's The Thing from Another World. It was pretty good, but very much a B-movie of its time.
2. Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
This beloved movie musical with Rick Moranis was a remake of a horror-comedy from 1960. The original's mainly known for an early cameo by Jack Nicholson. Bill Murray played his part in the remake.
3. Insomnia (2002)
Christopher Nolan did a fantastic job remaking a 1997 Norwegian film of the same name. Thor's Stellan Skarsgard had the part later played by Al Pacino.
4. Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Zack Snyder's breakout film is one of the few horror remakes that really holds its own. It has a wonderful cast that includes Ving Rhames and Modern Family's Ty Burrell (above).
5. Ocean's Eleven (2001)
We'll hold our hands up here: we haven't seen the original version with the Rat Pack. But we can't imagine it's better than the excellent George Clooney/Brad Pitt version.
6. The Fly (1986)
David Cronenberg's take on the campy Vincent Price classic is much, much grosser – even by modern standards. The memory of Jeff Goldblum's disintegrating body haunts us to this day.
7. The Parent Trap (1998)
Two identical twins meet at a summer camp, not realising that they're long lost sisters. Naturally, they decide to swap places! Before Lindsay Lohan, it was English child star Hayley Mills who played the dual role in the 1961 version.
8. The Departed (2006)
Scorsese's Oscar-winning remake is very similar in plot and tone to the 2002 Hong Kong original. The cast of Andy Lau and Tony Leung are arguably as famous in Asia as DiCaprio and Damon are in the West.
9. The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)
You might think it silly to try outdo Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. But truth is, the Pierce Brosnan/Rene Russo remake is a much better movie!
10. True Grit (2010)
Jeff Bridges takes on John Wayne's most iconic role. He's next to incomprehensible as the cranky US Marshal Rooster Cogburn, but his performance is great, as is the film!
11. Father of the Bride (1991)
Steve Martin gets a lot of flak for his family comedies, but this one's actually one of his best. The 1950 original starred Spencer Tracy in the Martin part, and a young Elizabeth Taylor as his daughter.
12. Cape Fear (1991)
Robert Mitchum was an intimidating guy in his prime (also see: Night of the Hunter) but Robert De Niro ain't no slouch in the scary department, either. And with Scorsese calling the shots, the remake has since become a classic.

A veteran Undead warrior. He's despairing over the fact the "Fate of the Undead" prophecy appears to be an impossible task and is very pessimistic because of that thought. Like his Demon's Souls counterpart, he's the first guide you have as soon as you arrive at Lordran. Talk to him often to get clues about what to do next and to learn interesting tid-bits about other NPCs in the game.
Firelink Shrine
Sitting facing the bonfire. You can't miss him; the cutscene even ends with the camera facing his general direction.
New Londo Ruins
Talk to him at the Firelink Shrine after ringing both Bells of Awakening until he exhausts his dialogue, and he'll then appear Hollowed near the first wooden bridge leading to the ruins. You'll be able to see him charging from a distance, so be ready with your shield.
|New Game
- Killing him won't have any effect on the story or a covenant.
- Be wary about accidentally making him hostile the first time you meet him, as he'll attack you as soon as you respawn at the bonfire.
- Equipped with a unique version of the Chain Set which contains no item names or descriptions and cannot be equipped on female characters.
- Making Kingseeker Frampt leave won't stop him from going hollow.
If you do make him hostile early on and you're having trouble killing him, you can just block all of his attacks and walk him over to the cliffs near the Firelink Shrine bonfire (whether the cliffs near the graveyard area or the cliffs near the path leading to the Undead Burg aqueduct). Here you can wait for him to jump off of the cliff or you can kick him off the cliff. As he doesn't drop any item nor does he have any effect on other NPC's story, you don't need to worry about killing him by kicking him off the cliff as his "full reward" is only his souls.
Be wary that he's one of the NPCs who can parry. He will usually attempt to parry you when he holds his shield up.

These are truly remarkably large and rapid changes since SSM became available across Canada in 2005.
Derek Leebosh of Environics said:
Laurie Arron, National Coordinator of Canadians for Equal Marriage, the agency that commissioned the poll, said:
Poll data was collected between 2006-MAY-25 and JUN-02. The survey sampled the opinion of 2,001 randomly selected Canadian adults. The margin of error is ±2.1 percentage points.
2009-MAY Robbins SCE Research poll results:
Between 2009-MAY-28 and JUN-05, Robbins sampled the opinion of 2,230 Canadians. This is considerably larger sampling than most public opinion pollsters use. As a result, the margin of error is less than ±2 percentage points.
Unfortunately, the poll had some of the features of a "push-poll." This is a type of poll that uses cleverly designed questions to persuade the subject to respond in a certain way. For example, their question #2 appears to have been written to obtain a negative response towards same-sex marriages (SSMs). Rather than ask if the subject favored the right of same-sex couples to marry, it asked whether Canada should follow a court decision in California. They asked:
Results were:
Unfortunately, the highly biased nature of the questions make the data essentially unusable. This is a pity because there are few polls that have been conducted since SSM was made available in mid-2005.
2012-JUL: The Forum Research Poll results:
Seven years after SSM was legalized across Canada, Forum Research sampled 2,694 adults by telephone. The margin of error is ±1.9 percentage points.
Support for same-sex marriage was highest in Quebec at 72.0%, British Columbia at 70.2% and Ontario at 68.0%. It was lowest in the Atlantic provinces at 65.7%, Manitoba and Saskatchewan at 63.9% and Alberta at 45.6%. The national average was 66.4%. 33.6% disapprove of SSM.
As with polls elsewhere in North America:

I want to draw your attention to a recent post from Bishop Shaun McCann, the
current Patriarch of the Apostolic Johannite Church (AJC) and President of
the North American College of Gnostic Bishops. The post linked below is in
response to a series of vicious attacks – including slander, libel and
cowardly attempts to have various events canceled – against the AJC by an
individual who apparently has nothing better to do with his life. I have
personally met Bishop Shaun McCann and Bishop Will Behun, along with many
from the AJC community – both clergy and lay members – while attending the
Conventicle of the Alexandrian Gnostic Church in Rock Island, Illinois in
2010. We shared communion together, had some great dialog and forged
fraternal relations – both on a personal level as well as for our related
spiritual communities. On behalf of the Coptic Gnostic Church I signed the
All Saints Accord. I have also maintained ongoing dialog with AJC members.
The accusations being directed towards them are completely unfounded and
absolutely ridiculous – merely the venom of a disturbed person that holds a
grudge from online debates. The Coptic Gnostic Church stands in full support
of the Apostolic Johannite Church. We recognize their many years (over a
decade) of service as a model for any community interested in the
Independent Sacramental Movement and/or Ecclesiastical Gnosticism. These
folks are the real deal and I am proud to call them my friends as well as my
spiritual brothers and sisters.
Read Bishop McCann's response here:
And please consider sharing the above message on your email lists, blogs and
other online forums.
In solidarity,
Coptic Gnostic Church

To be honest, I think Valentine's Day should be a celebration for singles instead of a couples-focused holiday, especially here in Los Angeles. After all, it's the perfect time to meet real single men and women. (No married guys hitting on you, ladies!) Plus, there are lots of parties and discounts going on around town to celebrate your singlehood, so take advantage. Here are some options for you (thanks to LAist and Where Magazine):
Tinder + Skybar. If you're looking to round up your friends to party Hollywood style, check out the Skybar at the Mondrian L.A. Hotel on Sunset. They ask that you wear a "touch of red" and bring your phone so you can use your Tinder app to gain admittance. Yep, everyone will be on Tinder - have fun!
Rock & Reilly's for your break-up party. Trying to get over your ex? Then bring a picture of him/ her with you to Rock & Reilly's on Sunset February 14th. All you have to do is shred it to get a free dessert!
Sexting at The Abbey. Leave it to The Abbey to have a creative (and more public) V-Day party. If you spot somebody who piques your interest, you can send them a personalized love note that will show up on the bar's big screen for everyone to see. Bring it on!
Free Beer at Bludso's Bar & 'Que. Bludso's normally take reservations for parties of 8, but on Valentine's Day, where let's face it, barbeque is not exactly on a couple's top ten list, they are accepting parties of 1 or more. But if you bring three of your friends along, you get a free pitcher of beer. Happy Valentine's Day!
Plan Check Kitchen & Bar all-day happy hour. Two-for-$14 cocktails and an all-day happy hour (11:30 a.m.– 2 a.m.) - need I say more? The featured cocktail is the Ice Breaker, comprised of Japanese whisky, Batavia Arrak, lime juice, Monin agave syrup, passionfruit, ghost pepper salt, aloe vera chunks, and El Jimador. Yum.
Get a hot man to drive you around town. Sidecar, a new driving service in L.A., is offering 30 hot, single dudes to drive you ladies around town. By using the SCSINGLESDRINKUP code, you'll get a $15 credit to use on their first ride to The Spare Room at The Roosevelt Hotel, where there are discounted Valentine's Day drinks for singles.
Happy Valentine's Day!

An Aishwarya Rai baby girl name has been trending on Twitter since the delivery of Baby B (Beti B for now). While the Bollywood parents consider a name for their child, Abhishek Bachchan tweeted his followers on social media for help. He hints the name will begin with an "A."
Aishwarya Rai Baby Name is Only Temporary
When the latest news of the 1994 Miss World pageant winner included a baby bump, fans of the Bollywood actress inquired about the sex of the unborn child and a name for the "ninth" Bachchan.
Believe it or not, Ash and Ab never locked in a name for their first born. Sure, they are very busy in their respective careers, but it was probably more about timing and waiting for the precise moment.
Abhishek took to Twitter after his child was born when a bevy of questions were asked about the name. He said that because there is a Jr. and Sr. Bachchan, a good Aishwarya Rai baby girl name should be Beti B -- temporarily.
In Aishwarya Rai Latest News: Ab Asks Fans to Help Name Aishwarya Rai's Baby Girl
It's great to know that the Bachchan family is using social media to connect with their fans. Years ago, fans had to read about news of their favorite celebrity in the tabloids or worse. Today, there is Twitter, Facebook, and much more.
With a simple tweet, Abhishek Bachchan asked his followers to throw out some suggestions for Beti B. One spoiler is that he asks that all suggestions to his Twitter timeline begin with the letter "A."
And suggestions for names are very welcome guys. Something with "A" ~ Ab's tweet.
"And the congratulatory messages still pour in. Thank you so much guys. All of you are wonderful and so sweet. My daughter is so blessed, he added in another tweet.
Well, if there is more room for suggestions, this writer offers some name suggestions for Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan.
Abishta: Lady of the house
Aditri: Highest honor
Asha: Hope

UN AND AFRICA: The UN mission in South Sudan has a new leaderListen /
• In a country coming out of conflict, a solution to address root causes cannot be imposed from abroad. That's what has been said by the new head of the UN mission in South Sudan. The top UN envoy in South Sudan says it is vital that all segments of South Sudanese society get involved in the peace process.
Ebola outbreak is "accelerating ahead" of control efforts
• The outbreak of the Ebola virus disease in West Africa is accelerating ahead of the efforts to control it, according to UN officials. The World Health Organization (WHO) says there are now more than 3,500 confirmed cases of the disease in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. More than 1, 500 people have died from the disease which causes internal and external bleeding.
Zanzibar economy suffers effects of climate change
• The development of Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean is being held back by the effects of climate change, according to a senior minister on the island. Agriculture, fishing and tourism are all being negatively impacted by rising sea-levels and temperatures. Zanzibar participated in a conference on small island developing states held in Samoa, in order to build partnerships to help in tackling climate change.

As I have often said, I love steak on the grill with a good bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon! Last night I cubed up some fillet mignon, and skewered it with onion and grape tomatoes, and an orange teriyaki sauce. I braised the skewers on a very hot grill and served these wonderful steak ka-bobs with a bottle of 2007 Wild Horse Cabernet Sauvignon. Now if that doesn't make for a "mid-summer's night dream", then Billy was not the "Bard".
Wild Horse Winery and Vineyards is in Templeton, California just south of Paso Robles, and part of the Central Coast growing region. Warm days with nights cooled by Pacific Ocean breezes combine to produce some remarkable grapes, yielding very fine wines. The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon from Wild Horse is a delightful bottle of wine with big fruit up front, followed by a mild toasty oak finish. The nose is heady to say the least, and the flavor swirls with a cherry-berry roundness, which begs for one sip after another.
Like many Cabernets these days, this one is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, accented by the usual cast of characters, headed up by Malbec at 5%. It comes in at 13.9% alcohol and is smoothed out by its 12 months in the barrel. It was great with our skewered fillet, and would be perfect with any steak, or red sauce pasta dish. Norm's score is an 89.
Price - $16 - $19
Score - 89

Interview with James Bolivar Billingsley, White Pioneer, Marlin, Texas.
"My father, James Bolivar Billingsley, was a son of Hezekiah Billingsley, and was born in Hinds County, Mississippi, March 27th, 1828. My grandfather, Hezekiah Billingsley, was a descendent of Scotch ancestry, who emigrated to Union County, North Carolina in the year 1755. My grandmother, Jerush Lang, was the daughter of William Lang, of Chesterfield district, South Carolina, who was one of the bold riders in Captain Francis Marions' famous cavalry command in the Revolutionary War.
"Grandmother was the sister of Willis, Stephen and William A. Lang of Wayne County, Mississippi, and lived for several years with the family of General illiam A. Lang, finally settling in the city of Jackson, Hinds County, where grandfather Billingsley died in 1842. He left two children, a daughter, Caroline, who was married to Samuel Cole and who moved to Cass County, Texas, and a son James Boliver, my father, who was thirteen years of age at the time of grandfathers death.
"Soon after the death of grandfather Billingsley, my uncle General William A. Lang moved my mother and my father to his house in Wayne County, where they became members of the family. My father was treated as a son and my uncle William gave him the same consideration as his own children. To my uncle and his wife my father and my grandmother was indebted for a home and all the care and kindness that could be showered upon them. My grandmother Billingsley died in 1847.
"In 1849, General Lang died but father still remained in the family, and in 1850, his uncle John Bolls Billingsley died, leaving him an estate of about 5,000. With this sum and such contributions as were made to him by his cousins, the Langs, he commenced business as a farmer. In November, of 1850, he was united in marriage to Miss Virginia C. Shaw, daughter of Judge [?]. [?]. Shaw and his wife [maryllis?] Shaw, of [eyne?] County, Mississippi. To them were born six children, I was the only one who lived to mature years.
"At the battle of Val Verde during the War between the states, father's cousin, Captain Willis Lang, who had raised a company at Marlin, and was mortally wounded at this battle, left the Brazos bottom plantation to my father, in a will he made before he left to enter the Confederate service. And in November of 1865 my father moved from Mississippi to Falls County Taxes where he took possession of this estate. His success as a farmer was complete. At one time it was said of him that he was the largest tax-payer in Falls County. The tribute paid by his friends was all any one could desire. After his death my mother moved to Waco where we lived for a few years and later moved to Marlin and lived until her death in 1922. She was buried in the family cemetery near the town of Perry, where my father and the children lie.
"Captain Willis Lang who bequeathed his estate to my father, who was his cousin and whose relationship were as brothers, was born November 29th, in 1839. He was the son of General William Lang, who was a native of
"The family moved from South Carolina in 1817, locating near Winchester in Wayne County, Mississippi. On their way to Mississippi they passed through the Creek Indian nation who were in hostility to the whites at that time. After many narrow escapes they reached their destination and settled on a plantation as farmers. They were owners of slaves and the plantation was a typical one of the Old South. Captain Willis was reared at home, receiving his preliminary education at the plantation school. When he reached sufficient age he was sent to Oxford, where he was graduated with honors. He lived about home for a time, then entered the low office of his brother-in-law, Mr. Falconer, of Alabama and began reading law.
"After the death of his father he returned home and gave his attention to raising cotton on the home plantation. This he continued for two years but without success on, account of the proper rainfall. He decided to try a new country and with seventy-five slaves he started for Texas and located in Falls County in the Brazos bottom, twelve miles from the town of Marlin, he brought a complete out-fit for opening up a new plantation, mechanics, farming implements, teams etc. He was successful in his operations, and lived in prosperity, with occasional scouting trips, such as when he joined a company of rangers in 1860, at Waco, Texas, under Captain I. M. Smith, answering a call of Governor Houston to pursue, repel and punish the Indians marauding upon the frontier of Texas."
"General William A. Lang, the father of Captain Willis, was a native of Wales and emigrated to the United States at an early day and some of the descendants are still living in South Carolina and Mississippi.
"The wife of James Bolivar Billingsley was Maude Sparks from Johnson County and James Bolivar Billinseley had one son, J. Allen Billingsley born at Marlin, Texas, January 29, 1909, and he still lives at Marlin. The mother of James Bolivar Billingsley moved from her home in Waco to Marlin in 1901. She died in 1922. James Bolivar Billingsley, wife and son are all that are left of the Billingsley family.
"As a child I can remember our life on the plantation in the Barzos bottom. It was a wonderful hunting ground and the Harrison family, the Rose family, Dunklins, Mullins, and the Oakes families, each had their plantation homes, we had our little community schools and church, I can remember well the brush arbor meetings, as we called them, in the summer, how the people up and down the river came from far and near and would camp for the whole time of the protracted meetings. There was old brother [Correll?], deceased, one of the first Baptist ministers in this section of the country who often preached for us and later Dr. B. H. Carroll, deceased, who would come from Waco to help in these meetings.
"Another old landmark that I have heard my father speak of, was old Fort Griffin, this fort was established two years after he came to Texas. It was situated on one of the trails over which provision trains and the cattle drives were made. At one time as many as six thousand federal troops were stationed here. It grew into a town of two or three thousand people, and almost every type of business flourished. Saloons where the cowboys stopped on their way up the trails for a drink and to gamble their stake at poker, hunters who were passing through on their way to market with their supply of hides and their stories of the close calls with the Indians. The parade grounds overlooking the clear fork of the Brazos River, the buildings used as a jail and stores, now lie in decay and ruins—a place shut in by big ranches, and just ten miles away, the oil fields.
"Times were pretty hard at the end of the war between the states, acc rding to my fathers old day book. There was no salt to be had in Texas scarcely and the old smoke houses yielded up its treasure of this article from its dirt floor. The cooking utensils were iron pots and gourds, water buckets were of buckskin, and terrapin shells were used for glesses. Gourd fiddles took the place of the modern radio during the days before the war, so Captain Lang wrote to my father on the conditions in Texas. He recalled to dance he attended when a misunderstanding about who was to pay the fiddler resulted in the old tune making gourd being smashed. They danced the rest of the night to the tune of music made with tin pans. Distance was no object then even though they did not have any automobiles, when there was to be anything to attend their Texas mustangs were all they needed to get them where they wanted to go.
"The old Waco Marlin road ran near our house on the Brazos bottom place. The old stage passed our house on its way from Waco to Marlin, and robberies were not uncommon. The robbers had an easy way to make their get-away in the river bottom. Our family could often hear the baying of the blood-hounds
"The road no longer goes by the old home, but passes farther east, to the new [?] Marlin highway. Where the old road passed on to the land of many a traveller's dreams as they sought a new home, the new highway with its flat cars as they speed to their destination. These travellers find no time for the dreams those others found such pleasure in. And the old house sits quietly with its memories as it possibly thinks of the families it has sheltered and the travellers for whom it has furnished warmth and food."

Creator/Vsual Web Pack sources are available in Netbeans repository
By winston on Feb 15, 2007
Yes! finally it is there. It was a tremendous effort. Around 14,000 files have been processed for package name change and other alignment before moved from closed source repository to Netbeans repository. The credit goes to major roles played by Chau Nguyen, Jim Bisso and Sanjay Dhamankar.
As my manager puts it, when we were thinking about Christmas Tree, cakes and mistletoe, these guys were thinking about packages, imports and classes. And "dirty words" as pointed out by Jim Bisso himself in the meeting, referring to code sanitizing for public release of the source base.
You can download and build the product using the following instruction
Be warned though, the source base is in a high flux condition and several of the functionalities are working. It is expected a month or so before the product will be in a working condition.

In order to assist you with your transition, the Transfer Connection is a collaborative collection of programs and services that will provide you opportunities to create connections with students, faculty, and staff, and to the university community you now call home.
While this isn't your first collegiate experience, this is your first year at Texas Tech, and we want to make you feel welcome and help you through your journey in higher education. Consider the Transfer Connection as a way to get to know your new home.
Recent studies show that transfer students experience a phenomenon called "transfer shock". In this state of "transfer shock," students often feel lonely, lost, and overwhelmed in their new environment, which can result in a drop in grade point average, an inability to connect with the institution, and in some cases, drop-out. Our university community is committed to providing you the support and assistance you need to be a successful transfer student.
"You've been THERE and done THAT.
But now you're HERE and can do THIS."

Getting involved as a new student at TTU is an important part of your adjustment to TTU and Lubbock. Fortunately, there are dozens of ways to get involved at TTU– in fact, there are so many involvement opportunities, they can sometimes be overwhelming! If you ask any student, getting involved helps you to feel more connected at TTU and assists in experiencing a greater sense of community at the University. A great place to start is with events and programs designed specifically by and for transfer and visiting students to TTU.
"The Transfer Connection meant that my university loved me and cared about my time as a Red Raider. It allowed me to meet new people when I didn't know anyone at first, and become a leader among my fellow students."

Do they share any conventions, or just make everything up? In particular, how do they usually handle customization?

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
That depends entirely on the manufacturer. In my experience, HP uses a model number for the general configurations down to a certain level. For instance, any model you can buy as-is from the website or from a store will have a number unique to it's configuration. However, if you customize the system, the model number will revert to the closest major model number and ends with "CTO".
I purchased a DV1000 heavily customized. and it was listed as a DV1000CTO rather than the DV1253 or whatever it may have actually been closer to.
But different manufacturers handle this differently.

Countries from across the world competed in a sports tournament. Can you devise an efficient strategy to work out the order in which they finished?
How high can a high jumper jump? How can a high jumper jump higher without jumping higher? Read on...
This is our collection of favourite mathematics and sport materials.
In this problem, we needed to find a way to use the Olympic medal tally in order to work out which country is the most athletic.
Joe and Matthew, from Chatham Grammar School, both considered the total number of medals which countries have won in previous Olympics. Matthew thought that because the 2008 Olympics contained the greatest number of events, the top five medal winning countries from this Olympics would be the most
Matthew then ranked these five countries according to the number and type of medals won using a weighted points system:
he gave $15$ points for gold, $10$ points for silver and $5$ points for bronze, and then divided the sum of these scores by the number of Olympic games the country had participated in.
