Linux Goes To War
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux has been a popular choice for the military. The U.S. Navy uses Linux to
| run critical systems on its warships. The U.S. Army is using Linux for its
| networked FCS (Future Combat System) vehicles (which are still in
| development). The army is also converting many of its Microsoft Windows
| applications to run under Linux.
| It's not just the better security Linux provides, but the fact that there are
| many versions of Linux to choose from, and the operating system is easier to
| modify (being an "open source" system, unlike the proprietary Windows.)
| Currently, the U.S. Department of Defense has over 200 Linux based software
| projects in development.
| China has also gone down this route, and is trying to get all Chinese
| computer users to switch to Linux.

Linux helps Navy keep high-tech weapon system updated
,----[ Quote ]
| General-purpose computing systems (in other words: personal computers
| and workstations) could be useful within a variety of control systems
| as human machine interface (HMI) platforms, network interface systems
| and even host computers, but many engineers hesitate to incorporate
| them because of the many stability and security issues surrounding the
| dominant PC operating system, Microsoft Windows XP. Linux provides an
| open-source alternative that avoids these Microsoft-related issues. As
| more engineers become acquainted with Linux, and Linux vendors make
| their implementations easier to use, PCs running Linux OS have begun
| to appear in many mission-critical applications.
| For example, Real-Time Innovations (RTI) and Concurrent Computer Corp.
| have partnered to provide RTI's standards-based real-time data
| distribution middleware with Concurrent's RedHawk Linux in support of
| the U.S. Navy's Aegis Open Architecture program.
| [...]
| Concurrent's RedHawk Linux provides fast response to external events,
| optimized interprocess communication, and high I/O throughput needed for
| time-critical applications. The operating system has gained acceptance as
| a leading real-time Linux platform for high-performance applications,
| guaranteeing response on a dedicated processor to an external event in
| less than 30 microseconds.
US Navy approves eZ Publish for DASN

| within the Navy, security vulnerabilities are always a concern. Since the
| information on the web site is unclassified and available to the general
| public, the ATI team considered the associated security risks minimal. They
| determined that with selection of the right Open Source product and with
| proper security and information assurance protections in place it could be a
| successful implementation for DASN (ACQ). In the Open Source evaluation, ATI

| they get squashed quicker than you can say "regression error." Â* Â*
| Or, if you're Microsoft, they get squashed every Tuesday. Maybe.
| All kidding aside, it's cynical -- and almost certainly wrong -- to claim
| that most vendors see the "black box" approach to software security as just
| another product-marketing tactic. Alerting every black-hat on the planet to
| an unpatched security flaw poses serious risks both to the vendor and
| especially to its customers. On the other hand, it is also true that some
| flaws are paper tigers that have zero chance of spawning real-world exploits.
| In such cases, a company may have better things to do with its
| software-development resources -- unless, of course, a competitor gets wind
| of the bug and turns it into a handy PR bludgeon. Â* Â* Â* Â*

Genes of the Cruthin, by Cllr Dr Ian Adamson
Dr Ian Adamson writes:-
Cllr Ian Adamson
I don't know if you are familiar with the latest developments in population genetics/genetic genealogy, but in recent times a researcher by the name of Professor Ken Nordtvedt has identified a haplogroup which he associates with some of the very earliest settlers to the British Isles including Ireland in the post-LGM period. He calls this clade of haplogroup I2a2 [old I1b1], 'I2a2-Isles'. He has managed to divide the clade up into 8 separate subclades; A1, A2, B1,B2, C1, C2, D1, and D2.
This may be of interest to you because I think we may have a possible [I say that cautiously..] link with the Cruthin here. Nordtvedt conjectures that I2a2-Isles, at least the oldest clade [B1] has been in the isles almost 6,000 years and was probably founded on the north German plain. The clades came to our isles before the Iberian-founded R1b haplogroup which accounts for around 80% of Irish men [and roughly 90% in parts of Connaught]. Its distribution suggests possible Cruthin connections - more the west and Ulster than anywhere else. The haplotypes are also found to a lesser extent in England and Scotland.
I was most interested in your comments on the Pretani (a). I use the word Cruthin rather than Cruithin according to the convention of O Rahilly and Byrne (b) and am particularly interested in the Creenies or Cruthin who migrated to South West "Scotland" and would have migrated back again in the Plantation and other periods.
Just a couple of [further] points.. Ptolemy (c AD 135-50) used the term Ivernia as part of the Prettanic Isles but also referred to Ireland as Little Brettania, Albion, of course, being Great Brettania.
And don't forget the Carthaginians ... Gaelic is a complex language with Semitic and Hamitic influences. According to Ayllet Sammes (1676), a scholar from Christ's College, Cambridge, Britannia was originally called Bretanika by the Greeks after the Phoenician word Bratanac, or Barat-anac (Country of Tin), the equivalent of the ancient name Cassiterides.
In Phoenician Ierne, Ivernia or Ireland would merely mean "the Farthest Island". One thing is certain, it is not Celtic in origin.
Editor's Notes
(a) See What is British?: Part 1, Friday, January 26. 2007
(b) Irish Kings and High Kings, Francis J. Byrne, 1973, 3rd Revised Edition 2001. I've mentioned Byrne's work on several occasions, including -
Sétanta, Friday, January 12. 2007
"Ulster" Part 3, Friday, November 28. 2008
"Ulster" Part 4, Wednesday, December 3. 2008
T. F. O'Rahilly in Early Irish History and Mythology first drew attention in modern times to the Cruithin as a population element in Ireland.
On Cruthin/Cruithin: Irish Gaelic classifies all vowels and consonants into 'slender' and 'broad' categories. In its written form, there is the convention that a slender consonant must have a slender vowel on either side, and likewise for a broad consonant. This accounts for the insertion of a large number of silent vowels in written Irish. The extra 'i' may derive from this. [The convention reminds one of the Hungarian principle of "vowel harmony".]
I'd plan to add some further comments of mine separately.
Code: Picts
Dr Adamson's colleague and informant, Dr Tim Owen of Southport, Lancashire, comments;-
I think, as time goes by and the databases start to fill up, we may see more evidence for the I2a2b-Isles-Cruthin link. The clade is very low level, but as Aiden Mulvihill's map shows, there is enough distribution to make the link in Britain/Ireland. Also, more continental members are emerging with Germany predominant.
I imagine that the Cruthin probably carried some other varieties of I haplogroup, and Bradley and McEvoy's study [sponsored by Patrick Guinness] suggested a link between the Maguinness clan and I2b1 [old I1c]. The M22 variety of R1b haplogroup certainly dominates Ireland though. There is a high incidence of I2a2b-Isles in the O'Driscoll clan, which suggests to me that they might have been somehow 'cut off' from the rest of the pre-Gaelic stock as the R1b-predominant Gaels, ultimately of Iberian stock, colonised the island by force.
I wonder if the oldest clade [B1] entered Scotland first [travelling from its north German place of foundation] via Doggerland, going on to parts of Ireland to 'give birth', so to speak to the 'younger' clades? I suspect that we could find a link between I2a2b-Isles and the narrowblade culture of the late Mesolithic, which replaced the broadblade culture, and ultimately to the Cruthin.

I'm looking to start my own blog soon but I'm having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

Volksfest 2012
Category: Places
Photo and caption by Kelly Darbyshire
Volkfest is very much like the county and state fairs that pop up during mid to late summer in the United States. As a kid, this was my favorite ride at the Allen county fair in Lima, Ohio, where I grew up. I wanted to change the familiar into the spectacular, rendering it almost unrecognizable by increasing the element of time. I found it interesting to capture expanses of time on something other than video. I wanted to take as much of Dresden back with me as possible. This exposure is 20 seconds of frozen light and time.

The teachers of Woodside's Madison Michelis may want to make sure she is tangibly at her desk Monday. The way Michelis was guarded by Carlmont-Belmont in Friday night's Peninsula Athletic League South Division girls basketball game, one might think she was invisible.
Michelis ran free in the lane for 28 points and 14 rebounds as the Wildcats dismantled the Scots 54-29. The score was 32-6 at the half.
"It was team basketball," Woodside coach Haley Grossman said. "Finally, for once, team basketball. We had positive energy out there."
The Wildcats (9-3, 2-0 PAL South) have a couple of excellent rebounders in Michelis and Tiianna Williams, who snared 15 rebounds. While the Scots (6-8, 0-2 PAL South) didn't have the answer defensively to keep those players from dominating the boards, Grossman wanted to work on her team's outside shooting.
"Our strategy was to get our outside shooting going," Grossman said. "We always look inside and we need to have another option. We want our guards to step up and shoot."
The Scots had trouble putting the ball in the basket in the first half as the Wildcats rolled to a big lead. Sharnon Lionel assisted Michelis for a bucket, then Michelis scored in the lane for 8-0. Williams peeled off an offensive rebound and passed to Michelis for a 16-footer and 12-0 Wildcats.
Stephanie Tong-Woo got two, finally, for the Scots with 3:23 left in the first period. Michelis, who had 12 first-period points, scored on an inbound play.
The Wildcats got the break going for another hoop as Tessie Rhodes passed ahead to Michelis, who passed to a streaking Williams, who made the score 18-2. Michelis went back to work with seven more points in the second quarter. Michelis would have had a bigger scoring night, but struggled at the free-throw line, shooting 6-of-15.
"Usually, I get double-teamed or a box-and-one," Michelis said. "I guess they didn't watch or they watched the film where I had a bad game."
Later in the half, Rhodes passed to Denise Mora, who scored for two of her six points. Rhodes then stroked a 3-pointer for 30-4. Tong-Woo ended the first half with a steal and a hoop, one of the few Scots highlights in the first half.
Carlmont's Anisah Smith, shut out in the first half, got things going offensively in the second half as Grossman sprinkled in some reserves. Smith totaled 16 points in the final two periods, including knocking down three 3-pointers. Smith was fouled hard while making a basket in the fourth period, but was dinged in the head on the play and was done for the night. Tong-Foo, who came off the bench as a substitute shooter, made the free throw for the 3-point play.
"We didn't get out and play our hardest," said Smith, a transfer from Eastside Prep-East Palo Alto. "We started slowly."
While the Wildcats breezed to a win, Grossman isn't hanging the PAL South championship banner just yet.
"This league is great," Grossman said. "The girls know it. All teams can beat anyone on any given day. You have Burlingame, Mills, San Mateo. Those three teams have great players. Everyone has a player that needs to be watched."
"It's going to be a fight every game," said Michelis, speaking of players that need to be watched. "I believe in us. We're kind of an underdog."

Chavez gets $500K infusion
Republican Assembly candidate Rocky Chavez has received a late cash infusion of more than $500,000 from an independent expenditure group, Spirit of Democracy California, established with seed money from Charles Munger, Jr.
Chavez, a former Oceanside councilman, is running against fellow Republican Sherry Hodges for the North County-based 76th district.
The $521,000 in contributions to Chavez went to pay for radio airtime and production costs, campaign literature and mailings, polling and survey research and other expenses, according to state filings through Friday. The intraparty race was made possible by the new election system in which the top two candidates — regardless of party — advance to the November general election.
Munger's father is a vice president at Warren Buffett's investment firm. Munger has backed several candidates and causes. His sister, Molly Munger, is the chief financier of Proposition 38 that seeks to raise income taxes on most to pay for public schools and other programs.

Next, we will build the current_posts_form() function. We build the form by adding elements to the $form array. In a pattern similar to the menu $items variable, the name of each element is its key in the array, with that key's value being a specially formatted associative array. In this value array, we list the attributes of the element, this time preceding each key with a hash mark (#).
Add the following to your current_posts.module file:
* Page callback: Current posts settings

LOS ANGELES — With his team's lead dwindling and in danger of being erased, Warriors coach Don Nelson needed fourth-quarter offense.
But Sunday, he couldn't turn to guard Monta Ellis, the team's leading scorer, who was back in the Bay Area ill. And Nelson didn't turn to point guard Stephen Curry, who had 18 points on 8-for-13 shooting through three quarters.
Nelson, instead, turned to his rookie swingman, the one not a month removed from the NBA Development League. And Reggie Williams delivered, totaling seven points and three assists in the final eight minutes.
The Warriors pulled away for a 121-103 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
"I think he has a gift," Nelson said of Williams. "He doesn't even know how big a gift he has. We've just dusted off the surface."
In scoring a game-high 25 points Williams helped pull Nelson to within three games of becoming the NBA's all-time winningest coach. He needs two victories over the last nine games to tie Lenny Wilkens' mark of 1,332.
The Warriors have five more games against sub-.500 teams. Three are on the road, including one more bout against the Clippers.
The Warriors snapped a 13-game road losing streak. But for moments in the fourth quarter, they looked as if they might endure their second collapse this month.
On March 11, at Oracle Arena, the Warriors blew a 13-point lead they enjoyed over Portland at the start of the fourth quarter by managing nine points down the stretch.
The Warriors trailed Sunday by as much as 13 in the first quarter and were down 36-29 entering the second. Twelve minutes later, they led by 19.
An Anthony Tolliver 3-pointer started a 32-10 run to close the half. Williams scored nine in the run that, resulted in a 69-50 Warriors lead. That advantage, which got as high as 20 in third quarter, was down to 100-91 with 9:05 left after a jumper by Clippers guard Steve Blake and a technical foul on the Warriors for their second delay of game.
A 3-pointer by Los Angeles forward Rasual Butler had the Warriors advantage at 113-103 with 2:16 left. But Williams, playing point forward, took over.
"He took advantage of the situation," Curry said, "and made plays for us when we needed them."
Williams converted a layup with 1:57 left, and after a Clippers miss he nailed a 3-pointer for a 118-103 Warriors lead.
Clippers point guard Baron Davis — who finished with 18 points, seven assists and six rebounds — missed 3-pointer. Then Williams found Tolliver, who nailed a 3-pointer, giving him 19 points and putting the game on ice. It was Williams' seventh assist.
"He's a rare basketball player as far as I can see," Nelson said. "He's able to have the mental capacity to be able to understand the total game, who's open, he can read defenses, and score, and he's quick. He's unselfish, but he knows he's a scorer. I think he's a special player, and here we got him out of the rock heap."
That is usually assistant Keith Smart's job, but Nelson said he was considering doing it so he can coach the new players and get them acclimated to his system.

Kentucky Judge is "Happier Than A Tick on A Fat Dog"
As LB readers may know, we have an avowed affection for judicial rulings with at least a touch of humor, no matter how corny or ham handed. (Click here for a recent WSJ piece on judges who jest.)
Just a touch of occasional levity, that's all we ask of judges.
Kentucky state judge Martin Sheehan (pictured left) has more than satisfied our modest demands.
In this ruling, posted on the legal humor blog Lowering the Bar, Sheehan creatively gave voice to a feeling probably shared by many judges: relief that a case has been settled and thereby removed from their dockets. (Here's an earlier item on the ruling from Above the Law.)
Without further adieu, Sheehan wrote:
Such news of an amicable settlement [has] made this court happier than a tick on a fat dog because it is otherwise busier than a one legged cat in a sandbox and, quite frankly, would have rather jumped naked off a 12 foot step ladder into a five gallon bucket of porcupines than have presided over a two week trial . . which, no doubt, would have made the jury more confused than a hungry baby in a topless bar and made the parties and their attorneys madder than mosquitoes in a mannequin factory.
We pause, in the event your mind is reeling with metaphors. Sheehan ended his ruling with one last witty aside, ordering the clerk of court to "engage the services of a structural engineer to ascertain if the return of the [case] file to the clerk's office will exceed the maximum structural load of the floors of said office."
Well done, judge!

Round 2: Detroit Red Wings
Round 1: Nashville Predators
DETROIT - Evgeni Nabokov sure knows how to suck the air out of an arena. So do the rest of the Sharks. After scoring two quick goals in the first period Thursday, they performed an amazing magic trick.
They made Hockeytown disappear before our very eyes.
Honestly. They did. Normally, the Detroit Red Wings and a boisterous Joe Louis Arena go together like, well, the NFL draft and overanalysis. But the atmosphere for Game1 of the Sharks' second-round series wavered somewhere between lethargic and tepid.
This worked out quite splendidly for the Sharks in a neat, tidy 2-0 victory. Their goalie, Nabokov, easily handled the shots that made it through the numerous roadblocks erected by Sharks defenders. And the home crowd grew quieter and quieter. Nabokov noticed.
"For sure," he said. "And we wanted to keep it that way. ... I guarantee you, if they had scored a goal they would have kept coming and would have gotten momentum."
Mike Grier, who whacked the Sharks' second goal into the net, knows how rare a riled-down mood is in a city that earned the Hockeytown label by winning all those Stanley Cups.
"It's not an easy place to play," Grier said.
Could have fooled us. There were sections of empty seats in the building Thursday, which was a shock to see - even if the lousy local economy is preventing middle-class fans from buying expensive playoff seats.
"The Pistons are playing, right?" Carle asked.
Yes, the Pistons were indeed playing on local television - and taking a 3-0 lead in their NBA series with Orlando. But you still need just 20,066 people to fill Joe Louis Arena. The Red Wings came up about 2,000 short.
This made it easier for the Sharks to rile down the crowd. They were pretty good, but hardly great, in beating a Detroit team that obviously had not recovered its full energy from a six-game first-round series victory over Calgary.
Give full marks to Nabokov, though, for being the chief riler-downer. He made 34 saves to go with his teammates' 18 blocks.
But in the game's early scoreless minutes when things were up for grabs, Nabokov was golden. Six minutes into the first period, Detroit center Pavel Datsyuk was directly in front of Nabokov with a point-blank chance to beat him.
But Nabokov stoned Datsyuk.
"Pavel was standing alone with the goalie for I don't know how many seconds," a frustrated Detroit Coach Mike Babcock said. "I don't know what better look you can get than that."
"When we needed Nabby, he was there for us," Grier said. "And he made big save after big save."
After that nervous Datsyuk moment, Sharks scored both their goals in one 24-second stretch of the first period - which means that if this had been the NBA, the winning team would have scored all of its points before the shot clock expired.
After that sequence, Nabokov fended off the occasional Detroit rush and tried to direct traffic in front of him the rest of the evening. Concentrating on defense, the Sharks were outshot 34-19. It worked out fine. But Nabokov conceded he was thinking about the first game of the Nashville series when the Sharks took a two-goal lead into the third period and blew it, forcing them to win the game in overtime.
"I think we learned a lesson from that," Nabokov said. "The sign of a good team is keep the composure."
Indeed, the two best developments to come out of Thursday's game were that Nabokov seems to be doing his best goaltending of the season when it matters the most and that the Sharks continue to sacrifice in front of him. At the end of the second period, filled with Sharks penalty kills, they had blocked as many shots - 13 - as they had taken.
"It's not a good sign that we had only 13 shots," Joe Thornton said. "But it's a good sign we blocked 13."
Will the Red Wings continue to stay off the scoreboard? Doubtful. Detroit has too much talent. Sharks Coach Ron Wilson probably had it doped out the best.
"We didn't have our `A' game offensively," Wilson said of his team, "and we didn't have our legs the way I expected we would. But we did bring our `A' game defensively. I don't think Detroit had its legs, either, but they'll get better so we'll have to get better."
In fairness, the Red Wings were also missing one of their top offensive threats, wing Tomas Holmstrom, their leading scorer on power plays. He was inadvertently jabbed in the eye during Detroit's last game against Calgary.
Blood is still reportedly filling Holmstrom's eyeball. But he will surely be back within a couple of games.
In other words, Nabokov will need to continue his top-tier play. When the opposing goalie is future Hall of Famer Dominik Hasek, the other goalie has to be especially sharp. Nabokov was. He brought every bit of his Kazakhstan moxie to the table.
So far, the only foreign competitor to depress Detroit worse this month is Toyota. So far, so good.

December 14, 2005
Property taxes are going up in Richmond County. News 12 is on your side with what these extra dollars are actually paying for and who this higher millage rate may hurt.
It's the time of year Augustans are forking out the cash for Christmas gifts and decorations. But homeowners like Scotty Netter might need to start holding back a few dollars for next year's property tax increase.
"The cost of doing business has gone up in Augusta just like it has for anybody else, our gas is more expensive, the power's more expensive," City Administrator Fred Russell said.
Augusta's last property tax raise was in 2002. This time, taxes will go up 1.09 mills. For a $100,000 home, the average in Scotty's neighborhood, that means an increase of less than $50 a year.
"$50-$75 is not much," Netter said.
Scotty's not worried about how he'll pay for the property tax increase, but he is worried about how some of his retired neighbors will.
"People that's on fixed incomes, we have a lot of elderly that live in this neighborhood so that probably could hurt them a lot," Netter said.
Besides the cost of inflation, the tax increase is helping pay for the eight percent raises for all Augusta employees. Other than that, the budget doesn't include a lot of extra decorations, just the basics.

Man says apartment complex called his US flag a 'threat to Muslim community' | khou.com Houston
We tried to ask a manager if that's exactly what was said, but she just handed us a statement, refused to answer any questions, and called an officer to escort us off the property, before we could press any further:
"While the Lodge on El Dorado admires our resident's patriotism, we must enforce our property rules and guidelines. Such guidelines maintain the aesthetics of our apartment community and provide for the safety of all residents. The apartment community already proudly displays our country's flag in a safe and appropriate manner at the entrances to our community."
But we saw other patriotic symbols hanging from other balconies in the complex, and Tran doesn't plan to budge.
It's Texas. So I hope that a classic Texas shitstorm is in this property management's immediate future.

The White House plans to ask Congress by the end of the week for an increase in the government's debt ceiling to allow the United States to pay its bills on time, according to a senior Treasury Department official on Tuesday.
The approval is expected to go through without a challenge, given that Congress is in recess until later in January and the request is in line with an agreement to keep the U.S. government funded into 2013.
The debt is projected to fall within $100 billion of the current cap by December 30, when the United States has $82 billion in interest on its debt and payments such as Social Security coming due. President Barack Obama is expected to ask for authority to increase the borrowing limit by $1.2 trillion, part of the spending authority that was negotiated between Congress and the White House this summer.
Under the agreement struck in August during the showdown over the government's debt limit, the cap is automatically raised unless Congress votes to block the debt-ceiling extension. Lawmakers have 15 days within receiving the request to vote, which is largely symbolic because the president can veto it and Congress would be unlikely to muster the two-thirds majority to override it. Moreover, the U.S. House of Representatives also is in recess until January 17.
The deal called for raising the debt ceiling by $2.1 trillion to serve the nation's borrowing needs into 2013 and also included mandatory cuts to the federal budget deficit. Since then, the extension has been increased twice by a total of $900 billion.
The debt limit currently stands at $15.194 trillion and would increase to $16.394 trillion with the request.

Academic Requirements
When you enroll at Ozarks for the first time, the University establishes a curricular contract with you which is based on the University Catalog in effect at that time. That contract describes the number of hours you must earn, what GPA you must earn, etc.
Generally, in order to earn your degree at Ozarks you must:
- Complete 124 college-level credit hours.
- Fulfill core and distribution requirements.
- Complete all courses in the major with a minimum of C- (or P in courses offered only on a P/D/F basis).
- Complete all courses in the minor, if any, with a minimum grade of C- (or P).
- Complete all requirements for the second major, if any.
- Complete a minimum of forty upper-level hours; for the BGS, a minimum grade of C- (or P) is required for all courses counted in these forty upper-level hours.
- Complete the last 30 semester hours in residence at Ozarks.
- Attain a 2.00 or higher grade point average on all college-level work attempted at Ozarks
- Make formal application for the degree to the registrar at least one semester prior to expected graduation
"College-level" courses are those whose first digit is 1, 2, 3, or 4. A course whose first digit is 0 is considered to be a developmental course and therefore it does not count toward the hours needed to meet your degree requirements. However, your grade in any developmental courses is included in computing your semester and cumulative grade point averages, determining whether or not you are in "good academic standing", whether you are making satisfactory progress, determining your "academic classification", and evaluating your eligibility for financial aid and athletics. If you are required to take developmental courses, you must attempt them in your first semester at Ozarks and in each subsequent semester until all are completed.
Keep in mind that only courses you take at Ozarks count in your grade point average. However, approved courses that you take at another institution, in which you earn a grade of C- or higher, may fulfill course and curricular requirements and may count toward total hours for graduation.
A new catalog is issued at the start of each academic year, so it is possible that the requirements for any given program could change. If the program you chose changes, we always encourage you to adjust your coursework to meet the new standards; however, you may remain under the original requirements if you choose to do so. If a course required for your program is no longer offered by the university and you haven't yet satisfied that requirement, the university will accept a reasonable substitute. When the university changes the intent of a course in such a way that credit is no longer acceptable in a certain program, the university will continue to permit you to receive credit for it if that course was a part of your initial catalog. The ability for you to maintain your curricular contract with the university depends on you being enrolled during any one of the terms (fall, spring, or summer) during a calendar year.
*This list and the other information on our website is intended to give you a general overview of our academic program and requirements. It does not constitute an official list of requirements. The official requirements can be found in the University Catalog in effect at the time when you enroll. This page was last updated on 12/14/2012.

Pen Argyl shuts out Southern Lehigh
Written by: Josh Funk on Sunday, October 2nd, 2011
PEN ARGYL, Pa. – As Southern Lehigh head coach John Toman watched a reporter scribbling notes from his postgame comments, the Spartans' head man couldn't help but noting, "I don't know how you can read that."
It's also hard to get a good read on Pen Argyl's physical, unrelenting defense, which made life tough for the defending District 11 AAA runners-up all game long.
Southern Lehigh (2-3) turned the ball over on downs twice inside the Pen Argyl 40-yard line and the Green Knights (5-0) forced the Spartans into a trio of interceptions in a 35-0 shutout victory Saturday afternoon from Alumni Stadium in Pen Argyl.
The victory sets up a major Colonial League showdown when unbeaten Northern Lehigh invades Pen Argyl next weekend to take on the Green Knights. For Southern Lehigh, the next few weeks will be a little bit different.
"We just went through the gauntlet of our league," Toman said. "We feel we have a favorable schedule in the second half of the season. Our goal is to go 7-3 and make the playoffs. 7-3 is a respectable record."
Pen Argyl head coach Paul Reduzzi thought his team's performance was more than respectable.
"That was the best game we've played all year," Reduzzi said. "This is the right time of year for us to be playing like that."
The sledding proved tough for the visiting Spartans right from the onset. Despite stringing together a pair of first downs and advancing to the Knights' 37-yard line, quarterback Ty Edmond was tackled for no gain on 4th-and-3 on Southern's initial offensive series. Then, after recovering a Knight fumble at its own 33, the Spartans advanced to the Pen Argyl 10 on an Edmond 14-yard pass to Jared Gerhard and a Jake Melusky 18-yard run. But once again, PA bent but didn't break. Edmond's pass on 4th-and-4 with 14 seconds left in the half fell innocently to the Alumni Stadium grass.
"We had to captialize when we had the chances, and we didn't do it," Toman said. "They (Pen Argyl) are a very opportunistic football team."
Senior back Dylan Evans and first-year starting quarterback Conor Gum helped Pen Argyl's offense fire in midseason form. It was Gum's deft fake of an option toss on what wound up being a 39-yard keeper on a midline option play, and three plays later, Evans crashed into the end zone from five yards out for a 7-0 Knights' lead in the waning moments of the first quarter. Evans pushed the advantage to 14-0 with a 12-yard run with 6:08 in the half, running for 61 yards in the first 24 minutes.
After the Spartans' marching band featured the Blue Brothers in its halftime show, Gum left SL feeling particularly blue when he found Kyle Muller on a 38-yard touchdown pass to make it 21-0, Knights. Evans' third touchdown run, a two-yard burst, pushed the lead to 28-0, and Gum capped the scoring with a 43-yard touchdown pass to Tommy Young.
With the mercy rule invoked due to a 35-point second half lead, both teams pulled their starters and finished the final 7:51 of the game under a running clock and also some light rain.
"Our senior leaders were focused today," Reduzzi said.
Evans ran for a game-high 116 yards on 21 carries, and Gum did it both with his legs and through the air, connecting on 4-of-7 passes for 93 yards and running for another 66 yards on 10 carries. Gum has connected on 18 passes this season, and eight of those have gone for touchdowns. Reserve Ryan Lobb added five carries for 12 yards for Pen Argyl.
Southern Lehigh finished with 157 total yards of offense (77 rushing, 80 passing) and only nine first downs this day. Melusky ran for a team-best 49 yards on seven carries and Gerhard ran for 12 yards on four carries. Dylan Schmidt also ran for 12 yards, reaching that mark on five carries. Edmond connected on 13-of-22 passes for 80 yards but was intercepted twice.

WATERFORD - Traffic crept along Ohio 339 in Waterford Friday evening as people filed in to the Waterford Fairgrounds for the 52nd Waterford Community Fair.
The event kicked off Thursday and wraps up Sunday, and treasurer Carolyn Allen said everything is going well so far, with attendance about the same as past years - around 4,000 people Thursday and 5,000 Friday.
"It opened Thursday afternoon with great attendance, a wonderful tug pull and a successful baby contest," she said. "The pedal pull - the children were excited and many participated."

A child enjoys a ride at the 52nd Waterford Community Fair Friday evening. The fair began Thursday and continues through Sunday.
In the baby contest, Kameron Johnson and Hannah Seevers won in the baby boy and baby girl (up to 1 year old) categories, while Trevin Zimmer and Adilynn Mitchell won in the prince and princess (2-3) categories. Zakari Claggett was named king and Abigail Hoover was named queen in the 4- to 6-year-old category. Matthew Wayne took home the Mr. Waterford prize, while the title of Miss Waterford went to Lyanna Smith.
Friday began with hog, fruits, vegetables, floral and hay judging. The annual fair parade stepped off Friday evening from Fort Frye High School and ended at the fairgrounds, where a kids motorcycle and ATV rodeo and karaoke contest were slated.
Fair board member Ronnie Young, who has helped organize the fair for about 30 years, said the event has grown quite a bit over time.

Our first stip is close to the Chambal River, where we will spend three nights. We will stay in a beautiful accommodation and we expect a fantastic bird life surrounding the lodge and on the Chambal River. We will take a river trip, visit the Sarus Crane Conservation Centre and its surrounding wetlands, take walks around the fields close to our lodge and we offer the option for a day's excursion to Agra where you can visit the Red Fort and the Taj Mahal.
Our third stop is Ranthambore National Park. Being considered as one of the famous and former hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Jaipur, today the Ranthambore National Park terrain is major wildlife tourist attraction spot that has pulled the attention of many wildlife photographers and lovers in this destination. We have planned to do game drives in the morning and stay on the outskirts of the National Park in the afternoons because those give excellent birding opportunities

Fletcher v. Peck – Case Brief Summary
Summary of Fletcher v. Peck, 10 U.S. 87, 6 Cranch 87, 3 L. Ed. 162 (1810).
In 1795, nearly every member of the Georgia state legislature was bribed to permit the sale of 30 million acres of land at less than two cents per acre for a total of $500,000. Only one member of the legislature voted against the legislation. The land was known as the Yazoo lands and eventually became the states of Alabama and Mississippi.
As a result of public outrage, most of the legislators lost the following election and the new legislature passed a statute in 1796 essentially nullifying the transactions. Those who had purchased the land refused to accept the return of their purchase price and much of the land was resold to bona fide purchasers at great profit.
Robert Fletcher (P) purchased 15,000 acres from John Peck (D) in 1803 for $3,000. Peck, in spite of the 1796 statute, had placed a covenant in the deed that stated that the title to the land had not been constitutionally impaired by any subsequent act of the state of Georgia. Fletcher sued Peck to establish the constitutionality of the 1796 act; either the act was constitutional and the contract was void, or the act was unconstitutional and Fletcher had clear title to the land.
- Is a law that negates all property rights established under an earlier law unconstitutional?
Holding and Rule (Marshall)
- Yes. A law that negates all property rights established under an earlier law is unconstitutional for violating the Contract Clause (Article I, Section 10) of the United States Constitution.
The court, while deploring the extensive corruption in the earlier state legislature, held that contracts signed under the original law must be accepted as valid. The motives of the legislators could not be considered by the Court and were not the responsibility of bona fide purchasers who were following the law. The court acknowledged that a legislature can repeal any act of a former legislature, but that this principle did not apply where the legislature sought to undo actions taken under the previous act while it was still valid.
The court held that the land grant was a type of contract, and therefore the Contract Clause (Art. I, sec. 10 of the U.S. Constitution) applied. The Contract Clause states: "No State shall … pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility."
The court held that the 1796 law was an unconstitutional ex post facto law that sought to penalize bona fide purchasers for wrongs committed by those from whom they were purchasing.
Judgment for Peck. The 1796 statute was unconstitutional and the sale to Fletcher conveyed clear title.
Concurrence (Johnson)
While states may not abrogate contracts, they may pass legislation that affects contracts.
See Martin v. Hunter's Lessee for a constitutional law case brief involving an issue of ownership of real estate in which the Supreme Court held that it had appellate jurisdiction to review state court decisions involving federal law.

The ghastly interactive story adventure series!
O.k. but not great.
Compared to Ingus' usual randomness, this episode seemed a little too...understandable. It had an actual plot (kind of), and Ingus spoke in a much more reasonable way than what I'm used to. On the positive side, your animating skills are improving, so I would still consider this a welcome addition to the series. I hope you continue your work, but in future, make it more confusing!
damn n***a dis sheet woss off dee chizayn, n***an***an***an***an***a...DAMN!!!!.
Not the best Ingus.
But still funny.
Not enough of Ingus
That beaten up kid was funny and so was the fur coat bit. Not enough of Ingus and a bit too short.
I can't wait to see more episodes !

Visible Spirits
Photo: O-I's Covet Classics bottle designs
As far as beverage alcohol categories go, the one that can boast the most consistent growth is spirits. Flavored varieties, and more recently the emergence of an artisanal movement, have been having extraordinary impact on the category. This impact can be seen in sales trends: Super premium spirits volume was up 6.3 percent and high-end was up 7.2 percent in 2013. And craft distilling volume has grown an average of 30-35 percent annually over the past few years, according to the Distilled Spirits Council.
As the number of flavored and artisanal spirits continues to expand, marketers have turned to the package as a way to get noticed. "We are witnessing the emergence of truly revolutionary visual languages that are bringing new energy, excitement and impact—breaking established norms—to set radically new and different premium standards," says Tess Wicksteed, executive vice president at design agency Pearlfisher NY.
Wiksteed points to two recent examples: J&B Rare Scotch Whisky Limited Tattooed Edition bottle celebrates the origins of the whisky born in London in the second part of the 19th Century, the same period when tattoos started to spread across London. The second, 7 Sirens Rum from Trinidad, which she says: "Rejects aged styling or a pirate approach in favor of a sleek and sexy approach to position alongside vodka brands in bars and clubs. For many brands, premiumization has become an increasingly complex issue now that there are so many different expressions of it: right across the spectrum from authenticity to limited editions to designer collaboration. But where the premiumization landscape radically changes and opens up a new opportunity for the spirits category to once again take top-shelf leadership is through a new—and marked—disruption of category. "
She continues, "Standout in spirits is still the same as it ever was—the trick is to create a message in a bottle—make people intrigued about what's inside. In a rule based category like spirits there are so many disruptive ways design can suggest a story. My favorite recent examples all get the roles of the different bits of the marketing mix right: Simple iconic bottle design with layers of story revealed elsewhere." An example she points to is Hendrick's Gin: "Standout design," she says, "that broke gin rules and took them to another level with its black but botanical bottle, then layers of eccentric storytelling to back it up."
With the number of flavored spirits having rapidly proliferated over the past several years, the challenge is to not be another me-too. Seth Benhaim, CEO of Infuse Vodka, says choosing the right package for his brand therefore took on tremendous importance.
"I would never enter the liquor business, especially the vodka and especially the flavored vodka business just for fun or as a hobby," he says. "I was drawn to the industry because I knew that I had something to offer that would stand out. My bottle had to be immediately distinguishable from every single other brand at first glance, and it is. One of the main reasons we even thought the brand was worth pursuing was because I knew I could show the customer why they might pay more for a bottle of Infuse Vodka than a mega-brand like Grey Goose. By opening the viewing area with our art, we could show the fruit inside our bottle, using the contents inside as a design element, not just a flavoring element. The challenge then became making the fruit look good, too."
Benhaim's philosophy is 'packaging should represent purpose.' "What I mean by this," he says, "is that a spirit's bottle—its shape, label, cork, print, etc.—must indicate the reason it belongs on the shelf. Packaging should speak to the characteristics of the product inside the bottle. Fonts can reflect flavors; bold fonts for robust tastes, and skinnier fonts for softer spirits. Skinny bottle necks for delicate sipping spirits, or elaborate corks for aged masterpieces so a customer is reminded of quality each time they open that bottle."
As the category continues to show strong growth, packaging suppliers have innovated. Owens-Illinois offers its aptly named Covet Line, its specialty line of super premium glass bottles. "It's very clear, very premium," says Shawn Welch, VP of sales and marketing. "You can see the quality of the liquid that's inside the package. What we've seen in the industry is the need to reflect the quality and purity of the spirits themselves as well as convey a unique, compelling brand identity."
Montreal-based Phoenix Packaging has observed the desire of newcomers on the scene to both resemble the already-established distillers—to in a sense, fit in—while also somehow stand out from the rest of the pack. "I always tell people everyone has their own story, everyone has their own little thing that makes them different from everybody else, whether it's an ingredient or a family recipe or something like that," says Greg Illson, VP of operations. "And often the packaging really helps convey a large part of that. If you are putting something unique into the bottle, why not make sure that you're also being unique on the outside with your bottle?"
And let's not forget the ever-important badge for any package—the label. Rick Harris, market development specialist for the Spencer, Mass.-based Flexcon, says the clear label look has helped countless spirits marketers achieve the clean, upscale look that has helped grow the category. "The label on a bottle of vodka is the billboard," he says. "That is the brand image. That's what's selling it."

While most of the acclaim for a successful television show or movie goes straight to the Botox-enhanced leading men and women, there are countless other actors and actresses that never get the glory.
They're the people in the background who serve the main characters coffee during a pithy exchange of dialogue, they fill up high school hallways in the latest teen sex romp and they perform various other jobs that fill out the cinematic universe. Of course we're talking about the extras, the barely noticeable denizens of the film world that perform the most thankless job on set.
According to the video above, he most prolific extra in the history of celluloid is none other than Jesse Heiman.

Q: What is the Mayo Clinic Care Network?
A: The Mayo Clinic Care Network is a unique collaboration that connects ThedaCare specialists with Mayo Clinic specialists via the electronic medical record (EMR), which is especially helpful when complex cases arise. At the same time, ThedaCare Physicians can access Mayo's online medical resource that provides the latest Mayo-vetted knowledge in disease management, clinical care guidelines and treatment recommendations.
Q: Why has ThedaCare decided to join the Mayo Clinic Care Network?
A: At ThedaCare, we are fortunate to have some of the most highly skilled primary care providers and specialists right here at home who deliver exceptional quality care to you and your family.
Our vision is to be a recognized leader in quality and the patient experience. To that end, we have a responsibility to take the lead in fundamentally transforming health care in our region. The Mayo Clinic Care Network is an advantage for both providers and you, our patients, because new ideas and alternative treatments can be discussed and explored. As part of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, we can ensure the best quality care is delivered in the clinical setting that is most advantageous to you—close to home.
Q: What does this formal collaboration mean for patients?
A: All ThedaCare Physicians will have access to the latest Mayo Clinic expertise when treating you, our patients. These resources include:
Q: Will I see a Mayo Clinic doctor?
A: No. ThedaCare's membership in the Mayo Clinic Care Network will allow its specialists to connect with Mayo Clinic specialists on specific questions of care. For example, your primary care provider may wish to consult a ThedaCare specialist about your care. If that specialist then believes it will be helpful to connect with experts at Mayo Clinic, these physicians will consult on your behalf, ensuring you benefit from access to the latest medical expertise while staying close to home.
Q: Does this mean I'll never need to go to Mayo Clinic?
A: By sharing medical expertise through the Mayo Clinic Care Network, our goal is to allow you to stay close to home for your care whenever possible. ThedaCare's membership in Mayo Clinic Care Network is not an obligation for referrals to Mayo Clinic. In some situations, you may still need to travel for specialty care that isn't available in our area, and Mayo Clinic may be one of those options.
Q: What does it cost me if my doctor consults with Mayo Clinic about my care?
A: Nothing.There is no cost to you when your ThedaCare physician uses the Mayo Clinic Care Network resources. However, should the consult result in the need for additional services or treatments by your ThedaCare physician or Mayo Clinic, you would be charged for services rendered. Please check with your insurance company to verify coverage.
Q: Are patient medical records safe when using these tools?
A: Yes. Patient privacy is a priority, and we have safeguards in place to protect your health information. Any records shared with Mayo Clinic experts related to your care are sent through a secure electronic connection to remain confidential.
Q: Does this agreement mean patients will automatically be referred to Mayo Clinic?
A: Our goal through this collaboration is to help you gain the benefits of Mayo Clinic expertise while keeping your enhanced care as close to home as possible, ensuring you travel outside the region for care only when necessary.
Q: Why did Mayo Clinic choose ThedaCare for participation in the Mayo Clinic Care Network?
A: ThedaCare was selected to join the Mayo Clinic Care Network because we share a common philosophy, commitment and mission to improve the delivery of health care through high-quality, data-driven, evidence-based medical care and treatment. In addition, we passed Mayo Clinic's rigorous review process based on quality, service and operational criteria.
Q: Does this collaboration mean that ThedaCare could be purchased by Mayo Clinic?
A: This agreement is not an acquisition or merger. ThedaCare remains independent and community-owned.
Q: Why did Mayo Clinic create the Mayo Clinic Care Network?
A: Collaborating with other medical providers to provide the best possible care for patients has always been part of Mayo Clinic's culture. The Mayo Clinic Care Network is intended to help Mayo and healthcare organizations work closer together – in new ways – to enhance the lives of patients.
