Monique Martin named National Player of the Week
MOUNT VERNON – Senior guard Monique Martin, who has already established herself as one of the most prolific scorers in Brewton-Parker College history, has been named the Division I Women's Basketball player of the week for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
During a stretch that included wins over Warner Southern (Dec. 29) and Flagler College (Dec. 30), Martin averaged 31.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game. She had six assists, seven blocks, and 11 steals for the week. She also shot 90 percent from the free throw line over both games.
"It's a great honor for the NAIA to choose me as their player of the week," said Martin, "considering there were so many other good players nominated with me. I just want to continue to play hard and do whatever I can to help my team win."
"It's a tremendous honor for a great player," said head coach Sheila Simmons. "She's been consistent all year. She's well-deserving of the honor."
With this national award, Martin can now be considered for the NAIA Division I Women's Basketball player of the year award at the end of the season.

Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Paxil sorted by most helpful.
This medication could cause you to gain weight very quickly! I was on Paxil from June 2004 through December 2006 and during that time gained 50 lbs. No other changes in appetite or exercise. When i tried to take off weight, it was very difficult. My doctor finally changed me to Cymbalta when she realized that I had ballooned in weight and she thought that the Paxil ahd something to do with it. It also lost its efffectiveness after awhile and I began to have some depression symptoms returning. Now that I am on another medication, I'm takign off weight easily and feel much better.

It works fine, with a very slightly euphoric sensation after the first 2-3 weeks which goes away in a few months or less. Initial inability to climax during intercourse (men and women) fades after several months. Only real problem is that quitting is REALLY hard. I haven't had any psychological withdrawals, but the physical withdrawals were FAR more intense than the 'slight flu-like symptoms' described by the manufacterer. My symptoms were more like serious sea-sickness or a bad hangover... inner ear seemed to be off in me and I felt the room spinning until I took some of the drug. I took it initially in 1998 after a breakup and have been unable to kick it due to the discomforting side effects. Anyone have a solution?

i like paxil. it workes better for me than zoloft, about three fold actually. tolerability is higher than zoloft in my case, due to the lack of watery bowls, however, paxil interferes with a lot of other meds, specifically OTC. i don't recommend taking paxil and combining any of the following drugs: diphenhydramine (can give anxiety and akathesia, due to interaction from CYP2D6 even at low doses as 25-50mg, every dose of benadryl is doubled because cytochrome2D6 is inhibited by the paxil), dextromethorphan(DXM) for the same reason as diphenhyrdamine. DXM's dissociative hallucinogenic effects are more noticeable so it can and may make you feel funny. there are other meds that may be potentiated by paroxetine. alcohol + paxil = extrovert. but alcohol being a depressant, combining the two for me have been no comment. sometimes good, sometimes horrible. use caution. constipation. drowsiness. night sweats. stimulation of appetite. WEIGHT GAIN, WEIGHT GAIN, WEIGHT GAIN. which is good if you're slim like me. insomnia, but not as bad as the other ssri's. lack of motivation. reduction on anxiety, brought on by paxil's relaxing effects. this lack of motivation is why i cannot give it 5 stars for satisfaction. i LOVE THAT PAXIL is amazing for anxiety and it is almost a downer on it's own, but i wish it did this without making me less motivated. sexual dysfunction. i take 40mg daily. generic paroxetine. manufactured by TEVA. this generic seems to have a pretty good bio-equivalence to brand name paxil GSK.
I started taking Paxil in 10/09 after 8+ yrs on 20mg Prozac. I'd gone through some major life-stressors and felt as if the Prozac wasn't doing its job anymore. I started the 20 mg Paxil and felt a new "mellow-ness" start to settle in after a few days, which obviously was a nice change. I weighed 134. However, after about 3 months, I noticed a huge, steady weight gain, though my eating and exercise habits had not changed. I began to feel very anxious and depressed about the way I looked due to the weight gain and asked my Dr. about it who basically told me I wasn't 21 anymore (I'm 31) and my metabolism had changed. I thought, "Bulls&^*" and did a little research, only to find out that massive weight gain is actually very common. I read over and over not to stop the drug cold-turkey b/c it can cause major withdrawl symptoms. So I started out by half-ing my dose (down to 10 mg) for 10 days and didn't notice any change. then I did another half (down to 5 mg) for another 10 days. Then I started taking 5mg every other day. After about 10 days of that, I started to LOSE it. Major crying episodes, muscle aches, confusion, rage, memory lapses and just a general horrible feeling. My husband noticed a big decline in my mental health and suggested I started taking it again, which I've refused b/c after 5 months on the drug, I have gained 39 lbs!! Just typing that made me get flustered and cry. It was totally counter-productive to "fix" my mental state but destroy my physical state. It's a huge cycle and I am beyond frustrated. I didn't gain this much weight through my entire pregnancy and I was on prozac throughout the pregnancy! I now weigh 173 and am starting back on the 20mg Prozac but am not sure my mental health will recover until my physical health does - and losing 40lbs will obviously be a long process. :(

I have a non-English site and so a lot of "special characters" - ó ü ö ú ő é á ű í etc in article titles. WP strips the accents and converts these to a e i o u etc. when generating the URL.
But when I try to check via WordPress SEO by Yoast, it seems that the URL doesn't have the keyword because the URL slug actually has the keyword but with accents/ diacritics stripped.
My understanding is that Google considers with and without diacritics as the same. Shouldn't this plugin too?

|New approach to calibrate the mortar flow table
|January 27, 2011
|The flow table is a standardized test that is widely used to qualify a mortar to be tested for compressive strength and air content. It is also the only standard test to quantify a mortar workability property. Therefore, the calibration of this device is paramount and it is done today by preparing a mixture of silica powder and oil. Once the two materials are selected, they are mixed and tests are performed using the flow table at the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL). This flow table is identical to commercial versions used in practice, and the values obtained with this flow table are considered the reference values that are used to calibrate all the flow tables in the United States (USA). This procedure is an empirical procedure and relies heavily on one device that could break or whose result can drift over time. This study will review the manufacture process of the reference material, provide historical data and then propose a more scientifically-based approach to developing a new reference material.

The Book Thief
by Markus Zusak
The Book Thief Chapter 82 Summary
Ilsa Hermann's Little Black Book
- It's the middle of August. Liesel is going to 8 Grande Strasse to steal a book and make herself feel better.
- She climbs in the window and takes a book. She sits down to read, wondering if Ilsa is home.
- It doesn't matter. Nothing matters to Liesel right now.
- She thinks of her life, from losing her brother on the train, to coming to Himmel Street, to Max walking the road to Dachau.
- Death says, "At the center of all of it, she [sees] The Führer shouting his words and passing them around" (82.21).
- Words are beautiful and terrible.
- She wants the words to stop giving her pleasure and comfort.
- She doesn't want to hope and pray that Max and Alex Steiner are still alive—they are too good for this world.
- She begins tearing up the book she's selected from Ilsa's library.
- She tears the whole thing up then begins calling to Ilsa.
- There's no answer, so she writes Ilsa a goodbye letter.
- She says she's done with reading.
- She wants to "punish [her]self" (82.38) and so won't come to the library anymore.
- Liesel apologizes for stealing from her, for tearing up a book, and for being so naughty in general.
- She thanks Ilsa for everything she's done.
- Liesel exits through the window, sure she'll never see Ilsa again.
- She is wrong. In three days Ilsa comes to visit Liesel at home, wearing a dress instead of a bathrobe.
- Liesel apologizes for tearing up the book.
- Ilsa stops her and gives her a present.
- A black book with blank pages.
- If Liesel is no longer reading, maybe she can write.
- Ilsa tells her she knows she's a good writer; she can tell by her letter.
- She tells Liesel not to punish herself like Ilsa has punished herself for so many years.
- Rosa isn't home, and Liesel invites Ilsa in for coffee and bread and jam.
- Liesel tells Ilsa, "If I ever write anything and finish it, […] I'll show it to you" (82.54).
- Afterwards, Rudy is waiting for her.
- She shows him the black book.
- That night Liesel goes to the basement and begins trying to write.
- It's hard to get going. She isn't sure what she's doing, but she pushes herself.
- Death asks us, "How could she ever know that someone would find her story and take it with him everywhere?" (82.64).
- (That someone is Death. Finally, Death's gender is revealed as male, so we can start calling him "him," "he" and all that other good stuff.)
- In any case, that night Liesel begins her story The Book Thief.

Andrew Geison was walking across the spongy turf of Langhorst Field, lacrosse stick in hand, bound for the Elmhurst College crest painted at midfield. Geison, the College's first lacrosse coach, has been making this walk a lot in recent months, usually alongside high-school lacrosse players visiting the College. This is where Geison makes his recruiting pitch. "I tell them, 'This is where it's all going to happen.'"
Geison was hired in August to launch the College's newest varsity sport. But for now, he is a coach without a team, tasked with assembling a roster of athletes ready to take the field next March as the first Elmhurst College lacrosse squad. "I tell them they have an opportunity to come here and build a tradition."
Geison is persuasive, but he knows there is a hole in his recruiting pitch. One of the challenges of trying to build a lacrosse program from scratch is that so many other lacrosse coaches are trying to do the very same thing at the very same time. This year alone, at least a dozen colleges will begin fielding NCCA Division III lacrosse teams for the first time.

Walking into the Mill Theatre last week for a rehearsal of the play Days of Possibilities was a little like stepping into a time machine.
There was the peace-sign shaped stage. There was the soundtrack courtesy of Hendrix and the Beatles and Dylan. There were the frequent mentions of LSD and SDS. And everywhere there were college students arguing earnestly about the best way to change the world.
The '60s had returned.

In a meeting room in the Frick Center, Elizabeth Romano was casting an icy stare at Joey Carrillo, asking him one more time to tell her the truth about what really happened that fateful night at Chuggy's Bar.
Romano and Carrillo are members of Elmhurst's mock trial team, and Chuggy's is the fictitious nightspot at the heart of the criminal case they and hundreds of other collegiate teams are trying this year. In mock trial competitions, students and their teams earn points for convincingly simulating the roles of attorneys or witnesses in an ersatz courtroom trial. So in this early-morning practice session, Romano was playing a prosecuting attorney; Carrillo, a defendant charged with murder after the death of a passenger in the car he crashed following a long night of drinking at Chuggy's. Romano's mission was to punch holes in his account of the night.
"Did you turn on your radar detector even before you started your car for your drive home that night?" Romano's prosecutor character asked at one point. And when Carrillo, seated in front of her, hesitated, she asked again: "Did you know you were going to drive recklessly that night?"
Romano, Carrillo and the other members of the mock-trial team have been grilling each other like this since August. That's when they began preparing to try this year's case, the details of which are laid out in a 300-page black binder supplied by the American Mock Trial Association. Every mock trial team in the nation gets the same black binder, and mastering the evidence and the statements between its covers is one of the basic tasks for competitors. But that's the easy part. The real challenge has less to do with knowing your facts than with convincing everyone else in a courtroom that you know your facts.

When Meghan Merklein heard the pop, she knew she was through with basketball for a while.
Merklein already was a high-scoring hoops standout at Plainfield Central High School when, late in her sophomore year, she landed awkwardly after leaping for a rebound and badly injured her knee. Doctors would later tell her that she had torn both her anterior cruciate ligament and her medial collateral ligament. But the pop she heard when she injured the knee had already told her all she need to know.
"I knew I was done," she remembered recently. "It was the worst pain I've ever felt."
Now, nearly six years later, Merklein is a senior pre-med major at Elmhurst leading the Bluejays women's basketball team to one of its best starts ever. The Bluejays top scorer and rebounder, Merklein scored her 1000th career point last week in the team's fifth win, a 64-58 road victory at Webster University. Two dates loom large in her plans for 2012: Merklein hopes to lead the Bluejays in NCAA tournament play in March; and in June, she intends to take to take her medical-school admission tests.
The pain she felt in the aftermath of her knee injury helps explain her determination to succeed at both challenges.

MiddleWestern Voice, Elmhurst's stylish, student-produced arts journal, is both a national award-winner and something of a local mystery.
Last month, the magazine won an Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker award, sometimes called the Pulitzer Prize of student media. Winning recognition on campus, though, has proven more difficult.
"I'll tell people that I work on MiddleWestern Voice and they'll say, 'MiddleWestern Voice? I didn't know you were in the choir,'" Creative director Annie Balavitch, a senior graphic design student from Muskegon, Michigan, said in the MWV offices in the basement of the Frick Center last week. "They don't know we exist."

When Chris Martin, the new assistant coach of the Elmhurst men's basketball team, walks from the team's locker room to the courts in Faganel Hall, he must pass a supersized photo of himself playing for the Bluejays half a decade ago, one of a series lining the corridor. Passing his own framed likeness every day is, Martin admits, "a little weird." And, he said, the current Bluejays don't hesitate to give him a hard time about the photo.
Not that Martin minds the teasing. He plays along and fires back. "I tell them, 'Do things right, and you'll have your own photo up there someday,'" Martin said after a team workout earlier this week.
Martin did a lot of things right when he was playing for Elmhurst.

Aaron Armstrong would like to tell you something about cheerleaders.
Armstrong is the coach of Elmhurst's 15-student cheer squad, and at a recent practice he made sure to set the record straight about cheerleading.
"There's this stereotype out there," Armstrong told a visitor during a water break. "People think cheerleaders are all about being . . . peppy."
But forget about the stereotype. What Armstrong and his cheerleaders want you to know is that cheerleading is a sport. And to succeed in a sport, you have to be an athlete.

On the last afternoon before the start of spring break, the suite of student life offices in the Frick Center looked a little like a hotel lobby. Hurried people wheeled luggage around, traded goodbye hugs, wished each other happy travels. In one of the offices, Kevin Scheibel and Katie Schroeder were looking forward to a week of manual labor.
Scheibel, a sophomore, and Schroeder, a senior, each are leading one of the four teams of Elmhurst students fanning out across the country during the break to build new homes for Habitat for Humanity, the nonprofit organization that provides affordable housing for people in need.
Scheibel's team will be working in Biloxi, Mississippi; Schroeder's in Americus, Georgia. Others are heading to New Mexico and South Carolina, to put up siding, shingle roofs, install windows, cut wood trim and otherwise do what they can to help a good cause.
If your idea of a college spring break is limited to some combination of beaches, bikinis and beer, you probably haven't heard students like Scheibel or Schroeder talk about the value of a different kind of spring break.
A year ago, Scheibel went to New Orleans with a few dozen other Elmhurst students to work on a Habitat project. He spent most of that week putting up siding, a job he had never attempted before, but one that became his specialty.
"It was one of the greatest experiences of my life," Scheibel said last week, as he prepared for this year's trip.

The first meeting of Elmhurst College's newest student organization had just begun, and already from a back corner of the Blume Board Room in the Frick Center came a question. "Are we going to wear capes?" someone wanted to know.
You don't ordinarily hear a lot of discussion of cape-wearing in the Frick Center, but then there is nothing very ordinary about the Elmhurst College Quidditch Society. Quidditch is, of course, Harry Potter's favorite game, and the ECQS must be the only club on campus devoted to translating a fictional pastime into an actual one. It won't be easy. Harry Potter's game is played above the rooftops by teams of wizards on flying brooms. The members of the ECQS, because they lack Potter-like magical powers, will have to play a more earthbound version that has lately become popular on college campuses: Players race around a field with broomsticks between their legs, scoring points by whipping volleyballs through elevated hoops.
The prospect of playing quidditch on the mall—and of turning Elmhurst, even for a few shining moments, into a quasi-Hogwarts—was enough to inspire an impressive turnout for the club's first meeting. Thirty-five new quidditch players signed up. "What Harry Potter fan hasn't dreamed of playing quidditch?" said first-year Christopher Puenner, when I asked him about the game's appeal. "I mean, not to be corny, but this is like a dream come true."

Although intestinal obstruction from hygroscopic gum laxatives is a condition that has been observed many times, no record of esophageal obstruction from such a cause has been found in the recent literature. The widespread use of gum laxatives and the potential seriousness of esophageal obstruction caused by such a preparation warrant the report of the following case:
G. S., a man, aged 47, had been suffering from constipation for many years. He had found Saraka a beneficial laxative and had been taking this proprietary drug from three to four times a week for seven years. The company that markets the preparation directs that from 1 to 2 drachms of Saraka be taken after meals and washed down with sufficient water, or that the laxative be ingested with stewed fruit. The patient, however, was accustomed to take a much larger quantity of the saraka than directed. He would place a handful

The Displaced Person
by Flannery O'Connor
The Displaced Person Theme of Racism
Open a random page of "The Displaced Person" and you'll probably find a racial slur or a racist comment. The story includes two black characters, Astor and Sulk, who work on a white woman's farm. As black employees on Mrs. McIntyre's farm they are the recipients of some awful words and attitudes. When Mrs. McIntyre learns that Sulk is considering entering into an interracial marriage (illegal in Southern states at that time) all sorts of problems occur. By highlighting racial tensions in the southern US during or just after World War II, we are forced to consider our own racial attitudes.
Questions About Racism
- Did you find the strong racial language in this story hard to read? What is the effect on the reader of this kind of language?
- Does the idea of interracial marriage disturb Mrs. McIntyre? If not, why does she become so disgusted with Mrs. Guizac? (This one is tricky so make sure you use the text to support your position.)
- Why does Mrs. Shortley switch from wanting the black employees to be fired, to wanting Mr. Guizac to get the axe? What is your evidence?
- How is Astor treated by Mr. Guizac? What about Sulk? Is Mr. Guizac racist?
Chew on This
Father Flynn's nonracial speech presents a refreshing contrast to the racially charged speech of the Shortleys and Mrs. McIntyre.

Your article about your dad's final days is one of the most important articles that I have read in a very long time. Thank you for writing it, and I am very sorry for your loss.
We have all been or known someone in a similar situation. It's sort of like the death penalty. I don't believe in it (or in authorizing extremely expensive medical expenses for 88 year olds), but if someone I love is involved, then philosophical ideals would probably go out the window.
The conversation about end-of-life treatment vs costs is essential as my generation of Baby-Boomers approach old-age boomhood.
I currently take a VERY expensive pill to combat multiple sclerosis thanks to good medical insurance. Am I worth it? How do we put a price on the quality of life? At what age do we say it's not worth it? 80? 90? And very importantly, who decides?
Your article raises extremely important issues and should be read by everyone.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Arizona's rumored return to prominence two years ago was premature.
The Wildcats may actually be on track now - not just this season, but for many to come.
Backing up a stellar recruiting class with one that may be even better, coach Sean Miller appears to have a foundation in place to resurrect a program that has missed the NCAA tournament two of the past three seasons.
Miller's latest recruiting class includes four of the top prospects in the country - three of them big men - and two of the four from last year's class are back this season.
The Wildcats also have a nice mix of veteran players, led by forward Solomon Hill, which should help them win this season and recruit more players in the future.

Tallahassee, FL - There are about 46 projects up for potential tax dollar funding, but tomorrow that number could shrink...
To maintain a network of sidewalks in Leon County... That'll be about 50 million bucks...Completing Capital Circle construction...That's more than 100 million.
All told, the Leon County sales tax committee has more than 960 million dollars worth of project requests to sift through-- but they only get a little under 38 million annually from the tax revenue
Steve Evans, Leon County Sales Tax Committee Chairman: "Making sense of how to apply the one penny sales tax has been difficult. The committee prioritized the projects, but they haven't been able to chip away at the 46 or so current projects."
"It's never easy, but the bigger issue is 'Are we truly representing where this community is going to grow." In doing that, we've got to keep focused on where this community is going to be in the next 15 to 20 years."
Members should come up with some final infrastructure recommendations at Thursday's meeting, then they'll wait on Imagine Tallahassee's report based on citizen feedback before they decide on other economic expenses. The privately funded group just held another round of community forums on Monday.
Dale Brill, Ph.D., Imagine Tallahassee: "The steering committee has been intently to those voices, and today was another step into making this community driven, rather than politically driven, or anyone else's driven agenda, this will be coming from and about our community."
Chairman Steve Evans said if the projects are in tier 3, then that's a safe bet they won't get funded. That includes things like a downtown parking garage and parking mall. The meeting starts tomorrow at 1:30 at the Leon County downtown library.

Report: Buccaneers Hire Lovie Smith as New Head Coach
Published: Wednesday, January 1, 2014 at 11:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 1, 2014 at 11:13 p.m.
TAMPA | It appears the Glazers got their man this time.
BORN: Gladwater, Texas.
NFL EXPERIENCE: Tampa Bay linebacker coach 1996-2000; St. Louis Rams defensive coordinator 2001-2003; Chicago Bears head coach 2004-2012.
NOTES: Won three NFC North titles in 2005, 2006 and 2010; Led Bears to Super Bowl XLI; Won AP Coach of the Year in 2005.
Various outlets and sources with knowledge of the situation reported Wednesday the Tampa Bay Bucs have reached an agreement with former Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith to become the team's next head coach. The sides were still working out the details, but if finalized, Smith would become the 10th head coach of the Bucs.
Neither the Bucs nor Smith would confirm the reports Wednesday night.
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer, who is not related to the family that owns the Bucs, first reported the deal. ESPN reported Smith will get a four-year deal with a team option for a fifth season.
It would be a reunion for the Glazers and Smith. Smith was linebackers coach with the Bucs under Tony Dungy from 1996 to 2000. The Glazers are hoping Smith can right the ship and lead the Bucs to the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
He did it in Chicago.
In nine seasons with the Bears, Smith won three NFC North titles and led the team to Super Bowl XLI, where they lost to Dungy and the Indianapolis Colts. Smith had an 81-63 mark with the Bears before being fired in 2012 following a 10-6 season.
Smith reportedly would hire former Cal head coach Jeff Tedford as offensive coordinator.
Defensively, Smith's Chicago teams were based out of the Tampa-2, made famous by Dungy and then-defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin. He likely will bring that style to the Bucs.
Dungy was happy with the hire and tweeted: "Congratulations to the Bucs. I think they made a very good choice in hiring Lovie Smith. Now I'm excited about watching the Bucs next year!"
Smith would replace Greg Schiano, who was fired along with general manager Mark Dominik on Monday. Schiano had an 11-21 record in two seasons with Tampa Bay.
Schiano, despite coming out of college with no NFL head coaching experience, was hired to help instill discipline to the franchise.
After a promising first season, Schiano's second season was rocky from the beginning. Quarterback Josh Freeman was benched for rookie Mike Glennon after three games before being released; the team started 0-8 before finishing 4-12. There were reports about players questioning everything from Schiano's training camp methods to coaching style. The team also had to deal with a MRSA situation that affected at least two players.
Smith did not work this past season but was the coveted coach on the market. The Detroit Lions and Washington Redskins, who also fired coaches on Monday, are interested in meeting with Smith.
The Glazers don't want that. Before hiring Schiano, the Glazers had a deal with then Oregon coach Chip Kelly before Kelly backed out.

Keith Urban says it was "harrowing" when a paparazzo on a bicycle crashed into his wife, actress Nicole Kidman, recently on a sidewalk in New York City.
"It's the Wild Wild West, man," Keith told radio station 2Day FM in Australia [1].
A video shows the man on the bike—moving very fast—crash into Nicole [2] outside a hotel as she is walking in. The impact knocked her down immediately, but she wasn't hurt.
"She called me straightaway . . . any husband can relate to that," Keith said. "So luckily she wasn't seriously injured. It's the Wild Wild West, man. The police are handling it and we just move on."

"Gphone": Meet Android, Google's Mobile Phone
Google's mobile phone has been dubbed Android and is actually an Open Source platform with an operating system and applications.
After months of speculation about the "Gphone", the search engine giant has now released tangible details of the project. Instead of a feature-loaded mobile phone the mobile project is an operating system platform called Android, which the Open Handset Alliance project will be promoting. "Android is more significant and ambitious than a single phone", says Andy Rubin, Google's Director for Mobile Platforms in his blog.
Android is Google's term for a Linux operating system, desktop and applications. Google purchases the software basis in August 2007 in the form of Andy Rubin's company. Now, Andy Rubin heads the Mobile Platforms team in Google's development department and has published a Youtube video introducing the Gphone aka Android along with the members of the project team. Rubin writes "We have developed Android in cooperation with the Open Handset Alliance, which consists of more than 30 technology and mobile leaders including Motorola, Qualcomm, HTC and T-Mobile."
Rubin goes on to describe Android as the "first truly open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices" promising "all of the software to run a mobile phone, but without the proprietary obstacles that have hindered mobile innovation." Google hopes to achieve faster development cycles and more freedom of choice thanks to the open platform. Google refers to Android as an important part of its strategy to provide information on a platform-independent basis.
Google is looking to release a Software Development Kit (SDK) for developers in about a week's time. Consumer devices based on Android are due for release in the second half of 2008. And Sun boss Jonathan Schwartz has already announced his support. Sun will be seeking to provide a matchin developer environment for Android on the basis of Sun's Netbeans Java developer tools.
This announcement sees Google join the race to deliver a Linux-based mobile platform and to find other enterprises to back the project up. UK-based processor manufacturer ARM is working on a similar project with six partners including Montavista, an embedded Linux system vendor. Competitor Intel announced a Linux operating system on the basis of Ubuntu for x86-based mini PCs dubbed Mobile Internet Devices MID in April 2007.

Wednesday Nov. 11, 2009
Augusta, Ga--It's playoff time in the state of Georgia with all classes now ready to tee it up on Friday night. Among them, Richmond Academy. After two big wins, the Musketeers will host a first round game. They can give a big pat on the back for their win over Evans to senior running back Jerrel Anderson.
We honor Anderson this week as our Operation Football Live, McDonald's player of the week. The senior stood tall lighting up the Knights defense for 220 yards rushing and a fourth quarter score that put the game on ice. This cool customer has only gotten better since he first suited up three years ago.
"Well Jerrel came in and played as a sophomore and we knew he was a special player." said coach Chris Hughes "He had to grow mentally, understand the game, he started working harder in the weight room and it's paid off this year. He's got more touches this year with different situations we've been in and he's really performed well."
"I talk a lot more, pump up my team a little bit more and guys just love me and I love them." said Jerrel Anderson "During school and stuff we talk to our teammates and stuff, like we have study halls together so we get together as a team, just like brothers."
Anderson had the wind knocked out of him late in the game Friday, but after a quick trip to the sideline was right back in there doing what he does best, help carry the load for the Musketeers.

Westminster Conservation Commission Member Joan Anderson Fined for Violating the Conflict of Interest Law
According to the Disposition Agreement, Anderson at one time owned Brook Bound Nursery, a nursery and garden supply store in Westminster, while her husband, Jeffrey, owned Landscaping by Anderson, Inc. Westminster resident Robert Francis ("Francis") had significant business interests in American Drilling Services, Inc., Crocker Pond Properties, Inc., and Whitman River Dam, Inc. Francis is also a beneficiary of the M&R Nominee Trust (the "Trust"). The Disposition Agreement details extensive private commercial dealings between the Andersons and Francis beginning in 1996, including Francis contracting with Landscaping by Anderson, Inc. and Brook Bound Nursery for various projects at a total cost of approximately $150,000, and the Andersons purchasing property from the Trust. In 2002, Whitman River Dam, Inc. and Crocker Pond Properties, Inc., the companies in which Francis had significant business interests, purchased approximately 937 acres of undeveloped land near Crocker Pond and around the Whitmanville Reservoir. A portion of the Whitmanville Reservoir parcel is located directly across the street from the Andersons' residence.
The Disposition Agreement states that Anderson, in her capacity as a ConCom member, discussed, voted on and signed ConCom Orders of Conditions related to (a) the Whitmanville Reservoir parcel on July 28, 2003, and September 29, 2003; and (b) the Crocker Pond parcel on March 19, 2003, January 29, 2004, and February 9, 2004.
Section 19 of the conflict of interest law prohibits a municipal employee from participating as such in a particular matter in which, to her knowledge, she or an immediate family member has a financial interest. The ConCom's determinations regarding the Orders of Conditions affecting the Whitmanville Reservoir parcel were particular matters. Anderson participated as a ConCom member in these particular matters while knowing that she and her husband owned property abutting the Whitmanville Reservoir parcel. As abutters, Anderson and her husband are presumed to have a financial interest in these particular matters. Therefore, Anderson violated § 19 by participating, as described above, as a ConCom member in particular matters in which, to her knowledge, she and her husband had financial interests.
Section 23(b)(3) of the conflict of interest law prohibits a public employee from knowingly, or with reason to know, acting in a manner which would cause a reasonable person, having knowledge of the relevant circumstances, to conclude that any person can improperly influence or unduly enjoy her favor in the performance of her official duties, or that she is likely to act or fail to act as a result of kinship, rank, position or undue influence of any party or person. Anderson repeatedly participated as a ConCom member in matters affecting Francis or his companies after she and her husband had a significant business relationship with Francis. By so participating, Anderson acted in a manner which would cause a reasonable person, knowing all the relevant circumstances, to conclude that Francis can improperly influence the performance of her official duties. By failing to file a written disclosure of the relevant facts, Anderson did not take the necessary steps to dispel the appearance of a conflict of interest created by her private business relationship with Francis. Therefore, Anderson also violated §23(b)(3).
"A property owner is presumed to have a financial interest in matters affecting abutting and nearby property, and, therefore, should not take any action in her official capacity on matters affecting property that is near or directly abuts her own," said Executive Director Karen L. Nober. "Furthermore, in order to prevent the appearance of a conflict of interest, public employees must disclose their private business relationships before they participate officially in matters affecting persons or businesses with whom they have private business dealings."Disposition Agreement

Mechanisms of Chemical Carcinogenesis in the Kidneys
AbstractChemical carcinogens are substances which induce malignant tumours, increase their incidence or decrease the time taken for tumour formation. Often, exposure to chemical carcinogens results in tissue specific patterns of tumorigenicity. The very same anatomical, biochemical and physiological specialisations which permit the kidney to perform its vital roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis may in fact increase the risk of carcinogen exposure and contribute to the organ specific carcinogenicity observed with numerous kidney carcinogens. This review will address the numerous mechanisms which play a role in the concentration, bioactivation, and uptake of substances from both the urine and blood which significantly increase the risk of cancer in the kidney.

Canucks Report - Friday Nov.14th
Friday, 11.14.2008 / 2:39 PM PT / Features
Vancouver Canucks
Canucks recall Nycholat
Injury report
This week on Canucks.com
Practice gallery
Larscheid Report
Bieksa was spotted in a walking boot at last night's Sports Celebrities Festival after taking a day off practice to get x-rays.
"It's tough," he said. "The team is rolling and playing well right now and it's going to be tough not being a part of it. I'm fortunate it's only going to be a short time here.
"I'm hoping it's sooner than two weeks but we have to give the bone time to heal. If I get hit there again, it might get to the point where I would need surgery or something. We don't want it to get to the point where it's months instead of weeks."
Initial x-rays did not detect the hairline fracture so he has been playing with pain in his foot since November 4, after blocking a shot in the game against Nashville.
In 13 games this year, he has 11 points (3-8-11), which is just one point shy of his point total last year.
As a result of Bieksa's injury, the Canucks called for help from the farm Friday morning. Lawrence Nycholat makes his return to Vancouver after playing three games for the Manitoba Moose, where he has 3 assists in that span.
On a positive note, Salo who bruised his shoulder in Wednesday's game against Colorado skated with the team this morning and confirmed after practice that he expects to play in tomorrow night's match up against Toronto. He missed two games in October with a groin strain.
Rob Davison will likely step into the lineup to fill in for Bieksa, although head coach Alain Vigneault has not decided what his defensive pairings will be.
"I think probably tomorrow we're going to put in Davison," Vigneault said. "He's been with us here, for the past week he's worked real hard and we'll put him in the lineup and I'm sure he'll do well. Obviously he's not the same type of player that Kevin is, so we're going to expect more as far as moving the puck from Sami and Mattias and whether it be Willie or Alex Edler we're going to need more minutes from those guys."
GM Place was buzzing today as the Maple Leafs arrived in town for the first time since the 2005-06 season, when they lost to the Canucks 4-3.
"Obviously there's going to be a lot of atmosphere in the building, Canadian teams, an Original Six coming in, that's always really exciting," said Vigneault.
Tomorrow night's game will be the first time Kyle Wellwood, claimed off waivers by Vancouver in June, will face his former team as a Canuck. Wellwood leads the team in goal scoring with six goals in the 11 games he has played with Vancouver this season and has a total of seven points.
Wellwood will be playing alongside Taylor Pyatt and Pavol Demitra, who is back in the lineup after missing 10 games with a fractured rib.
"I always like to play with Pysie, and Wellwood's been playing great," said Demitra. "He has unbelievable hands and he can feed me for a couple of goals, I'm hoping."
"I never have a good start to the season. Finally I get a good game and something happens to me, but I'm very excited. Tomorrow's going to be a great game, it's always exciting playing against Toronto."
The game will be high energy and the players look to rebound from a 2-1 shootout loss to Colorado.
"It's exciting to play anytime on Hockey Night in Canada, especially against another Canadian team," said Canucks captain Roberto Luongo. "Just because it's the Leafs doesn't make it extra special, but for us it's all about trying to get the win. They've got young players. They've been putting the puck in the net, so we have to make sure we're hard on those guys and don't give them much room to make plays and take advantage on any mistakes they make and capitalize."

- Enhance and improve central data servers including WWW servers, Peoplesoft servers, Banner and Luminis servers, and other central academic and administrative servers
- Continue to integrate telephony and computing
Connect NCAR super computer in Cheyenne to BiSON ring at 10 gigabits per second
In approximately 2011, the National Center for Atmospheric Research NCAR), one of six nationally funded supercomputer sites, will install their newest supercomputer at a site west of Cheyenne. The University of Wyoming is a major partner and will have access to the supercomputer. In preparation for the supercomputer, UW and its partners, including CSU, NCAR and NOAA, will upgrade the existing bi-state optical network (BiSON) to connect to the supercomputer site with redundant connectivity so there will be no single points of failure in the data network. In addition, the BiSON partners will be upgrading the network to support 10 gigabits per second. This connectivity will provide UW researchers fast and reliable connectivity to supercomputer resources for research and education.
Separate UW connection to BiSON ring to two different buildings
The bi-state optical network (BiSON) is a high speed optical network supported by UW, CSU, NCAR and NOAA. The network provides two high-speed, redundant paths from UW to the Front Range GigaPOP (FRGP) in Denver. The latter is a network peering point in Denver operated by UW and other partners in the Rocky Mountain Front Range. The FRGP provides UW access to the commodity Internet and research networks such as Internet2 and the National Lambda Rail (NLR). Currently, UW's redundant connections, BiSON east and BiSON west, both terminate in UW's Telecom building. We plan to move the BiSON west connection to terminate in the new Information Technology building and provide redundant campus connection to the two sites so that loss of network connectivity to either building will not disrupt Internet access.
Migrate central servers to new data center
UW is building a new, modern data center which will offer enhanced reliability over that offered by the current Ivinson facility. Existing servers and facilities in the Ivinson building will be migrated to the facility resulting in increased availability and reliability of all central computing services.
Upgrade email system to Exchange 2007
Email has become a vital daily productivity tools for most people. TSS plans to upgrade the central email system to Exchange 2007. Exchange 2007 offers a number of benefits including enhanced reliability, expanded connectivity options, better support for handheld devices, enhanced functionality when using web browsers to access email, necessary infrastructure for unified messaging, better protection from spam and viruses, and enhanced management tools.
Migrate servers to virtual technologies in order to enhance reliability and business continuity
The University is in the process of moving most Windows and Linux servers to VMware. With VMware servers, virtual servers can easily be migrated from one hardware platform to another even though the underlying hardware is different.
Sun Solaris servers will be virtualized using the Sun LDOM technology to partition servers into multiple logical hardware servers.
Virtualization of central servers has many ramifications and benefits for the university including better utilization of hardware, the ability to scale the size of servers on demand, and the ability to dynamically move servers from one hardware platform to another in the event of hardware failures. In short, virtualization will reduce costs and increase server availability.
Upgrade data network to provide higher performance and enhanced security & reliability
The campus data network will be enhanced to support ever growing demands. The core/backbone network will be upgraded to 10 gigabits per second. Network reliability will be enhanced though additional, redundant, fiber connections in order to reduce the impact of the loss of network connectivity to any buildings or the cut of any campus fiber.
The data network, and related network security devices such a firewall and intrusion prevention devices, will also be upgraded to provide enhanced data security by detecting
Implement new/expanded data storage and backup systems
New disk access technology such as iSCSI offers the potential to purchase storage at a much lower cost than traditional high-speed fiber channel storage. New ISCSI based storage systems not only offer high performance – but also offer high reliability and redundancy whereby data is replicated in remote locations. The university will be implementing iSCSI storage and moving all applications that perform well from fiber channel storage to iSCSI storage. Some applications may still require fiber channel storage for performance reasons, however these application will also be connected to iSCSI storage (where data is asynchronously duplicated) for disaster recovery purposes.
Lower cost iSCSI storage is planned for individual use which will allow users with individual workstations to backup important data that exists only on their workstations.
Data on local (Laramie) disks will be backed up to remote tape systems (in Cheyenne).
Implement and test disaster recovery plan
Server virtualization and distributed iSCSI storage are key technologies to be used in implementing the university's disaster recovery / business continuity plans. These technologies allow the university to distribute servers and disk storage among multiple campus sites and quickly repurpose the equipment use for critical applications in an emergency. Consequently, realistic disaster recovery plans can be implemented at a lower cost than in previous years.
Continue growth and expansion of remote student lab system
Use of the student lab system has grown significantly over the past years. Only a few years ago, the lab systems were used by a small percentage of the student body. Today, over 95% of Laramie students use the student lab system. Work began a couple years ago to make the student lab system available over the Internet and provide the same user experience as that found by students who sit down at a physical lab node in Laramie. This, in conjunction with the campus wireless system, allows students to access the student lab through their laptops through campus. Furthermore, the student remote lab is available from UW housing or any location world-wide having Internet access. Therefore, the student lab system offers the same functionality for Outreach students as it does for students in Laramie. The remote student lab system requires only Java on the remote computer – thus is accessible from Apple, Linux, Windows or nearly any workstation.
The remote student lab system will be continuously enhanced to support more applications, more convenient access, and support for more device types including handheld devices.
Enhance and improve central data servers including WWW servers, Peoplesoft servers, Banner and Luminis servers, and other central academic and administrative servers
A large number of central servers are required to support all of the university's data requirements. The servers need to be continuously updated to provide new functions, enhance security, and accommodate new software applications. As noted elsewhere, many servers will be virtualized and moved to new hardware platforms that are more versatile and reliable.
Continue to integrate telephony and computing
The separation between telephony, data networks and computing continue to blur. In recent years, UW has implemented Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephones that operate over the campus data network (as opposed to twisted pair copper cables that run from each phone all the way back to a central telephone switch). A new voice mail system has been made available so that customers can receive voice mail messages in the email inboxes and listen to their voice mails on their computers. Conversely, customers can call into the voice mail system and have email read to them over the phone.
Progress will continue on the integration of telephony and data in various ways including soft phones (software running on computers that emulate physical telephones), integration of computer based contact lists and automatic computer dialing, integration with cell phones (for example, switching between one's office phone and cell phone during a single phone call), integration with email & instant messaging, and a concept known as 'presence' whereby a caller know beforehand about the availability of the remote user as well as the best method for communication (email, instant messaging, telephone, etc).

Its about running homebrew code. Or at least the first step to that goal.
I'm going to do lot of assumptions. But please bear with me.
From what I understand (but the real hackers will know this much better im sure) is that there is some kind of ROM inside the CPU (or some e-fuse memory) and there is some flash memory somewhere outside the CPU. Let me assume the amount of ROM inside the CPU is really tiny and contains only a basic decryption algo to decrypt the flash (which in turn contains the public 2048-bit key for xex's and the basic software the 360 runs on/boots with). First the CPU starts with accessing the flash, then decrypting it (using an AES key?) and then runs it. Those are my assumptions.
The question is: how secure is the code in this ROM? I mean: how much verification is there done on the decrypted flash?
Lets assume (and this is the big one) that the CPU decrypts and simply runs the flash (so no checksum code in the tiny ROM).
IF that were true (can we know?) then maybe the following is possible:
1) Remove the CPU and put it on some testbed.
2) Start/reset the CPU
3) When the CPU accesses the addresses of the flash give it a random response.
4) If the CPU simply decrypts it it will then run random code. Theoretically there is a chance the first bytes are a "jmp .." to some memory address.
5) Watch if an address somewhere in memory is accessed and give it back another command (eg another jmp). And verify if it executes that command. If so you have found a way run unsigned code on the CPU. Goto 7.
6) Goto 2
7) Retrieve the AES key by commanding the CPU to do so.
Once you got the AES key you can alter/design the flash memory (or find weaknesses in it).
As I said this is a long shot. Its mainly dependend on how big the ROM inside the CPU actually is and if it contains checksum code of some sorts. If there is a 32-bit checksum it may still work (by trying many times) depending on the speed of this rebooting the CPU and stuff.
Its a bit of a wild idea and somebody probably already thought of it but since running homebrew on the 360 is the main goal (and not running pirated stuff) I thought I might give it a try .
Does this make any sense? Or is it plain stupid?
Just sharing my (strange) thoughts. 8)
