PARKERSBURG - The ranks of the Downtown Farmers' Marketplace are growing.
Fresh produce was being offered from four stands Thursday, the most since the market opened in its new, year-round location at the Point Park Marketplace by the floodwall at 113 Ann St. And several new vendors have come aboard, offering fresh coffee, gourmet pasta, unique art and more.
Joining Kim Gant, assistant to Mayor Bob Newell and the city's liaison with the market, in overseeing the market will be Jared Towner, who works in outreach and development for the West Virginia Department of Agriculture, which is helping to manage the marketplace.

Washington, W.Va., resident Christy Gilbert looks over produce sold by Debbie's Corner Thursday at the Downtown Farmers' Marketplace.
"It's fantastic space," said Towner, an Army veteran studying agriculture at West Virginia University at Parkersburg. "You couldn't ask for a better spot."
Towner will be at the market the days it's open, Thursday through Saturday, said Jerrod Dean, a development coordinator for state Agriculture Commissioner Walt Helmick.
"The other times that he's not going to be here, he's going to be doing outreach and development," trying to get farmers involved with the market, Dean said.
Fact Box
Downtown Marketplace
* Where: 113 Ann St., Parkersburg
* When: Open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, year-round
* What: From 6 to 8 p.m. today, there will be activities leading up to the Point Park Concert Series, including music by David Wells, beer from the North End Tavern and wine from Stone Road Winery.
On Thursday, the Agriculture Department's donated foods distribution warehouse in Ripley was opened to farmers so they could drop produce for the market off there.
"A lot of farmers can't be in multiple locations," Dean said.
Letting them take their food to the warehouse, then transporting it to the market, gives them another venue in which to sell, he said.
Ultimately, that is intended to help agriculture grow and provide new job opportunities in the state.
One of the produce vendors who recently came to the market is Cheryl's Plants and Vegetables out of Kenna. On Thursday, Kevin Riter, son of owner Cheryl Riter, liked what he saw.
"Once this place gets well-established, this'll be a booming Farmers Market up here," he said.
Besides the produce- which is expected to move outside next week once a fence is erected- other recent additions include Chef Yancy's Five-Star Grill, offering pulled pork sandwiches, barbecued ribs, grilled chicken, various salads and more, and Marietta-based Rossi Pasta.
Rossi distributor Monika Keiser said the all-natural ingredients Rossi uses makes the company and its products a nice fit at the marketplace.
"It's still really fresh stuff like the produce, but with Rossi Pasta ... putting it all together with Italian recipes," she said.
Another recent arrival is West Virginia Foods and Things, with a variety of products grown and made in the Mountain State, based on a similar business at the Capitol Market in Charleston.
Randy's Roasts sells fresh-roasted coffee, most less than a week old, said owner Randy Yerby. It opened at the Marketplace a week ago Saturday.
"I've been roasting coffee for a couple years now, and I just gave it all away," said Yerby, who is also the pastor of the Marrtown Road Church of Christ. "This is my hobby gone wild."
Making his debut at the market on Thursday was Vienna artist Gale Karcher, displaying and selling his three-dimensional wooden paintings.
"Today's my first day, and I've done real good," Karcher said, noting he'd sold one piece and taken orders for three more.
Opening today are Bersky's Ice Cream and Italian Ice and Lapping the Couch, offering bikes, kayaks and paddleboards to rent and buy.
The marketplace is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. Those hours will extend to 8 p.m. today with activities leading up to the Point Park Concert Series featuring Tramps Like Us, a Bruce Springsteen tribute band. Local jazz musician David Wells will perform on the deck, and beer and wine will be available from the North End Tavern and Stone Road Winery, respectively.

US astronomers look to the future
May 19, 2000
Six major projects have been selected by the US astronomy community as top priorities for the next decade. The Next Generation Space Telescope, the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, has been identified as the highest priority by a panel chaired by Joseph Taylor of Princeton University and Christopher McKee of the University of California at Berkeley. The panel's report is the latest in a series of "decade reviews" of astronomy and astrophysics in the US.
The other priorities established by the panel are the ground-based 30-metre Giant Segmented Mirror Telescope, the space-based Constellation-X Observatory, expansion of the Very Large Array radio telescope in New Mexico, a ground-based 6.5 metre survey telescope, and the Terrestrial Planet Finder. The panel describe this last mission as "the most ambitious space mission ever attempted by NASA."
Other priorities include completion of existing telescopes and missions, a large telescope to detect gamma-rays, an instrument to measure gravitational waves, and a powerful telescope to study the Sun. Among the smaller projects given priority is a "virtual observatory" that would make large sets of astronomical data available to scientists and the public over the Internet.

When Enlightenment met Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite being a young distro with just two releases under its belt, Geubuntu
| delivers a visually stunning desktop without compromising functionality. As a
| double benefit, the components it uses to blend functionality with bling have
| modest hardware requirements. This makes the distro perfectly suitable for
| older computers.
| Built atop Ubuntu, the distro has a solid, well-tested base. Its unique mix
| of components from desktop environments Xfce and GNOME on top of the
| under-development Enlightenment environment introduces several bugs, but the
| developers are working to iron these out, and have already tackled several
| between the first two releases. I'd recommend this distro to desktop users
| with aging hardware, and to users who haven't tried Enlightenment before.
First look at Geubuntu 7.10
,----[ Quote ]
| For Enlightenment and Ubuntu fans this distro is custom made for you. It
| takes the best of Ubuntu and combines it with a great desktop environment. If
| Ubuntu or Kubuntu is a bit too heavy for your equipment, then Geubuntu just
| might be what you need. It might also be an idea for those who find Elive a
| bit overwhelming, or those who like to be a bit different from the rest of
| the crowd.
Geubuntu Sunshine
,----[ Quote ]
| Geubuntu is a complete and fully functional operative system based on the
| popular Linux Distribution Ubuntu. Geubuntu, a project started and designed
| by the Italian artist Luca D.M. (aka TheDarkMaster) is perfect for any
| Desktop, Laptop PC or even for a Virtual Machine. Geubuntu mixes the power
| and simplicity of Ubuntu and parts of the Gnome Desktop with the wonder and
| astonishing eye-candy of Enlightenment DR17 Â* Â*
[Just Released:] Geubuntu 7.10 Luna Nuova
,----[ Quote ]
| The power and flexibility of Ubuntu and Gnome.
| The magnificence and beauty of E17.
| Perfect and fast even for a Virtual Machine.
| Finally a fully functional Enlightenment Desktop.
| Geubuntu: when a Gnome reaches Enlightenment.
Enlightenment Engage Dock
,----[ Quote ]
| Engage is a beautiful dock replacement for Linux. It looks
| high tech, futuristic, and smooth enough to be on anyH
| ollywood blockbuster.
Initial Implementation of Desktop Icons in E17
,----[ Quote ]
| E17 is maturing, and the TODO that needs to be completed for its
| release is shrinking.
E17 -- Desktop Enlightenment
,----[ Quote ]
| You need to install E17 in order to fully appreciate the magnificent
| work of the programmers. The direction of changes is very good -- e17
| delivers a nice-looking desktop with many special effects, being easy
| and lightweight at the same time. When compared to its predecessor
| -- e16 -- it shows that the desktop personalization and new effects
| do not have to trigger additional hardware purchases. I only wish Ic
| ould say the same about GNOME and KDE. Also, I have to say that I
| wish the Microsoft products were as stable and functional as e17
| in alpha phase.
Elive 0.6.2 development released
,----[ Quote ]
| Between the work still's on new things, Elive has released a new ISO, this
| iso contains basically updates of packages:
| Â* Â* * Packages updated: All the packages to has updates, set to day
| Â* Â* * Firefox 2: Now called iceweasel is fully implemented,
| Â* Â* Â* remember that thunderbird is now called icedove too

A short look at gOS
,----[ Quote ]
| So after downloading the gOS Live ISO onto my Debian Etch system I started
| Innotekâs VirtualBox, bound the freshly downloaded ISO as a CD-ROM, made a
| 4GB virtual hard disk image for installing it, gave that virtual computer

Gosh, gOS is good
,----[ Quote ]
| I really liked gOS. It's a cute little system with lots of functionality and
| great looks. It works well and is fast and stable on my laptop. It should
| work on any computer that any other Linux supports. Enlightenment is an

Kitchen island ideas
Kitchen island ideas for the heart of your home
Our kitchen island ideas will help you choose the perfect central unit.
With the move towards larger, open-plan kitchen extensions, the kitchen island has become an essential feature. It might be long and slim, running parallel to the work area; neat and round in a compact room; or big and broad, housing a sink and appliances.
From a functional perspective, the kitchen island also provides extra prep space and forms a boundary between the cooking zone and the living/dining area. A shaped island unit can also help direct the flow of traffic away from busy hotspots.
Almost all kitchen islands incorporate seating - even the smallest space can usually accommodate an overhang of worktop and a pair of bar stools, although more of us are opting for long islands with integrated low-level, table-style seating at one end.
Functions aside, the change of pace offered by an island often encourages a variation in material. You can afford to be braver here with a bolder finish or colour, or perhaps a more expensive material that would be prohibitive across an entire room.
'An island tends to define the kitchen, forming a division between the dining and living space,' says Laurence Pidgeon, director at Laurence Pidgeon.
'For this reason, at least the facing part of the island should be in warm and welcoming materials to make a transition from efficient kitchen surfaces.'
For a show-stopping centrepiece, look to luxury materials, from deeply veined marble and mottled granites to exotic timber veneers and gleaming mirrored glass or burnished metal.
'There's a trend towards more textured materials, think raw or rough-sawn wood, honed or flamed stone tops, as well as a contrast of colour or finish between the island and the rest of the kitchen,' reveals Laurence.
Contemporary monochrome kitchen island (pictured)
This kitchen island makes a statement with its angular, black gloss breakfast bar and a trio of large pendant lights. The addition of showstopping kitchen lighting really makes an island unit stand out.

In the September issue of The College Mathematics Journal, Stephen M. Walk takes the Intermediate Value Theorem apart and puts it back together again in The Intermediate Value Theorem is NOT Obvious—and I Am Going to Prove It to You. Also Mark Schwartz dishes out the latest on the mathematical prowess of dogs in Do Dogs Know the Trammel of Archimedes. Among other items of note, Greg N. Frederickson folds polyominoes, Annalisa Crannell analyzes the Shad-Fack transom window, and Dan Joseph, Gregory Hartman and Caleb Gibson introduce generalized parabolas. The issue also includes two Flaws, Fallacies, and Flimflam items and a Student Research Project on idealized coinage systems by Jack E. Graver.
The Intermediate Value Theorem Is NOT Obvious—and I Am Going to Prove It to You
Stephen M. Walk
The Intermediate Value Theorem is not often proved in Calculus I classes because many teachers and students see the theorem as obvious and its proof as impenetrable. This article addresses those two misconceptions, showing howthe IVT canbe proved in Calc I . . . and whyit shouldbe.
An Empirical Approach to the St. Petersburg Paradox
Dominic Klyve and Anna Lauren
The St. Petersburg game is a probabilistic thought experiment. It describes a game which seems to have infinite expected value, but which no reasonable person could be expected to pay much to play. Previous empirical work has centered around trying to find the most likely payoff that would result from playing the game ntimes. In this paper, we extend this work to the distribution of all possible values which could result from this experiment. We use this distribution—with a surprising fractal-like pattern—to examine the unlikely nature of the most famous experiment on this game, the results of the Compte de Buffon's playing the game 2048 times.
Folding Polyominoes from One Level to Two
Greg N. Frederickson
For any given polyomino, is it possible to cut it into pieces and then hinge the pieces, so that the polyomino folds up into a similar version of itself but two levels thick? While we don't know how to do this for every polyomino, the article does show how to cut, hinge, and fold polyominoes from several infinite classes, providing an inexhaustible supply of puzzles that are both fun to solve and beautiful to fold.
Generalized Parabolas
Dan Joseph, Gregory Hartman, and Caleb Gibson
In this article we explore the consequences of modifying the common definition of a parabola by considering the locus of all points equidistant from a focus and (not necessarily linear) directrix. The resulting derived curves, which we call generalized parabolas, are often quite beautiful and possess many interesting properties. We show that the conic sections are generalized parabolas whose directrix is a circle or a line, and their well known reflective properties are actually specific instances of a reflective property held by all generalized parabolas. Finally, we offer the reader suggestions for further investigation.
Series with Inverse Function Terms
Sergei Ovchinnikov
Finding the sum of a series in the form of a closed expression has always been a challenging problem in analysis. The paper presents an elementary method for summation of series with terms generated by functions satisfying subtraction identities.
From the Dance of the Foci to a Strophoid
Andrew Jobbings
The intersection of a plane and a cone is a conic section and rotating the plane leads to a family of conics. What happens to the foci of these conics as the plane rotates? A classical result gives the locus of the foci as an oblique strophoid when the plane rotates about a tangent to the cone. The analogous curve when the plane intersects a cylinder, in which case all the sections are ellipses, is a right strophoid. This article discusses both results and provides elementary geometric proofs. Rotation about a different axis, such as one meeting the axis of the cone or cylinder, gives a very different curve. We consider how the resulting curve relates to the classical one by analyzing the family of curves obtained as the axis of rotation moves.
Do Dogs Know the Trammel of Archimedes?
Mark Schwartz
The refraction problem, well-known in calculus and physics, continues to reveal new insights. This paper presents a geometric solution in which the trammel of Archimedes plays the prominent role. When properly configured, the trammel generates an ellipse and its family of normal lines. One normal line in particular intersects the boundary separating the media, the intersection point being the solution. The trammel, implemented as a rolling circle mechanism, can be constructed physically and/or programmed as a computer animation.
The Shad-Fack Transom
Annalisa Crannell
We provide several constructions, both algebraic and geometric, for determining the ratio of the radii of two circles in an Apollonius-like packing problem. This problem was inspired by the art deco design in the transom window above the Shadek Fackenthal Library door on the Franklin & Marshall College campus.

The Product and Quotient Rules Revisited
Roger Eggleton and Vladimir Kustov
Mathematical elegance is illustrated by strikingly parallel versions of the product and quotient rules of basic calculus, with some applications. Corresponding rules for second derivatives are given: the product rule is familiar, but the quotient rule is less so.
A Generalization of the Parabolic Chord Property
John Mason
The well-known property of quadratic functions, that the tangents at either end of a chord of a parabola meet in a point aligned vertically with the midpoint of the chord is extended to polynomials of degree d. Given two distinct points on a polynomial of degree d, the Taylor polynomials of degree d – 1 at those points meet in d – 1 points whose mean is vertically aligned with the midpoint of the chord joining the two points. This characterizes polynomials of degree d.

The stealthy rogue Kelen was well known for his ability to slip away from any pursuit and find his way out of even the most escape-proof traps. Only upon his death did the world learn that his secret was really in the glass-sheathed dagger he carried, Kelen's Dagger of Escape. The pommel appears to be fitted with an immense ruby, but this stone is also made of glass, a fact even a poorly trained merchant can recognize.[1]
Other KelensEdit
Other known Kelens are Kelen the Seeker (a random archmage) and Kelen the Destroyer (A random blood mage). Both are random generated heroes in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.
As Kelen the Seeker appeared as a (human) archmage and Kelen the Destroyer was a sin'dorei blood mage, it is unclear if these are all intended to be separate characters or the same character. It is possible that the archmage was a high elf who joined the sin'dorei movement, and even that this individual was also the renowned rogue. On the other hand, given the nature of archmagi, it seems unlikely that one would take time off from the arcane to become a famous thief. However, in the RPG multi-classing is quite common, and there are prestige classes that mix more than one class type. Ex. techno mage (tinkers and spellcasters). Kelen's Dagger of Escape could be found in Warcraft III during the bonus campaign, with a similar description. It should be noted that his dagger is enchanted with magical powers allowing escape.
It may be possible that Kelen the Seeker was, in fact, an elven archmage and was later known as the Destroyer when he became a blood mage. Blizzard simply didn't give him a special model.
Another Kelen the Seeker is to the side of Admiral Proudmoore at the invasion of Theramore by Thrall's forces, led by Rexxar. Nothing says it has some connection with Kelen found in Silvermoon City during the invasion of the Scourge.

Great Budworth is a civil parish and village, approximately four miles (6.4 km) north of Northwich, England, within the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire. It lies off the A559 road, east of Comberbach, northwest of Higher Marston and southeast of Budworth Heath.[2] Until 1948, Great Budworth was part of the Arley Hall estate.
According to Sir Peter Leycester, the name Great Budworth comes from the Old Saxon words bode ("dwelling") and wurth ("a place by water").[3]
Great Budworth is approached from the main Warrington to Northwich road and lies about two miles (3.2 km) from the town of Northwich. It is situated along a ridge overlooking two meres, Budworth to the west and Pickmere to the east.[4]
It was situated in the hundred of Bucklow and deanery of Frodsham. At fifteen miles (24 km) in length and ten miles (16 km) in width, it was considered to be the second largest parish in Cheshire, after Prestbury. The parish contained nineteen townships: Budworth, Anderton, Appleton-cum-Hull, Aston-juxta-Budworth, Barnton, Barterton, or Bartington, Cogfoall, Comberbach, Dutton, Little-Leigh, Marbury, Marston, Pickmere, Stretton, Nether-Tabley, Over-Witley, Nether Witley, and Wincham.[5]
The early history of Great Budworth is documented in the Domesday Book, which mentions a priest at Great Budworth. In 1130, St Mary and All Saints Church was given to the Augustinian canon of Norton Priory[6] by William FitzNigel, Constable of Chester and Baron of Halton.
During the reign of Henry III, Sir Geoffrey de Dutton (sometimes "Geffrey de Budworth") (d. 1248) was lord of the manor. De Budworth was the son of Adam, a younger son of Hugh de Dutton. Peter, grandson of De Budworth and ancestor of Sir Peter Warburton, second Bart. of Arley, moved to Warburton, assumed that name, and was a proprietor of Great Budworth. De Budworth gave a third of his land, including St Mary and All Saints Church, to Norton Priory to secure perpetual masses for his soul.[7] After the dissolution of the monasteries, King Henry VIII granted the estate to John Grimsditch. It was afterwards divided into several parcels.[5]
There may have been a school in Great Budworth as early as 1563, but certainly one existed by 1578.[8] For centuries, the village was owned by the head of Arley Hall who would collect rent from the villagers.[9] Rowland Egerton-Warburton of Arley Hall paid for restorations and improvements to the church in the 1850s.[10] Egerton-Warburton also undertook a "campaign to render it (the village) picturesque in Victorian eyes".[11] To this end he commissioned architects including William Nesfield and John Douglas to work on buildings in the village.[12] Douglas remodelled the George and Dragon inn in 1875,[13] and restored some of the cottages.[14]
A running pump was the only source of drinking water for the whole community until 1934 when a piped supply was first connected. Until 1948, Great Budworth was part of the Arley Hall estate.[15]
Notable landmarks[edit]
The Grade I listed St Mary and All Saints Church is located in the village. The village is a popular location for films and television including Cluedo[9] and more recently a NatWest advert. Arley Hall, a historic house, is nearby.[9] Also of note in the area are the George and Dragon and Cock o' Budworth public houses,[9] 54–57 High Street, Dene Cottages, Goldmine House and Belmont Hall.
St Mary and All Saints' Church[edit]
St Mary and All Saints' Church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.[16] It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth.[17] Clifton-Taylor includes it in his list of best English parish churches.[18] Richards describes it as "one of the finest examples of ecclesiastical architecture remaining in Cheshire".[19] The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner considered it to be "one of the most satisfactory Perpendicular churches in Cheshire".[20] In the north chapel is a memorial to Sir Peter Leicester, the 17th-century historian, and in the Warburton Chapel is the alabaster effigy of Sir John Warburton who died in 1575.[19] In the north chapel is an organ designed by Samuel Renn, installed in 1839.
Goldmine House and its attached cottage (Rose Cottage), designated as a Grade II listed building,[21] were built in 1870 for Rowland Egerton-Warburton of Arley Hall and were designed by the Chester architect John Douglas.[22] Built with brown brick with some timber framing, and clay tile roofs the house faces west. It is a double storied building with two gabled bays. The cottage is simple in form with a dormer and blue brick diapering.[21]
Dene Cottages, a Grade II listed pair of cottages, were built in 1867–68, again for Rowland Egerton-Warburton and by Douglas.[23] The lower storeys are constructed in brown brick. The upper storeys are timber-framed with plaster panels. The roof is in clay tiles. The plaster panels are pargetted with floral motifs.[24]
Belmont Hall in this parish was built by J. H. Smith-Barry Esq., who deposited in it his valuable collection of pictures and statues, afterwards removed to Marbury. Smith-Barry sold it to Henry Clarke.[5] Built in 1755 and designed by James Gibbs, it is a Grade I listed building.[25] As of 2014 it is occupied by Cransley School.[26]
George and Dragon pub[edit]
The George and Dragon pub, another Grade II listed building,[16] was initially built as a simple three-bay Georgian inn. In 1875, John Douglas was commissioned to restore it by Egerton-Warburton. He added tall rubbed chimneys, mullioned windows and a steep pyramidal turret.[27] The double-storied inn has bays built in brick with a roughcast rendering on the upper storey. It has clay tiled covered hipped roofs. Its other architectural features comprise a projecting two-storey porch with oak post-and-rail fence inscribed with a number of sayings on either side, lateral bay with four-light mullioned window in the lower storey and a three-light mullioned window in the upper storey, a tall rubbed brick chimneystack, and the inn sign located diagonally from the right corner.[16][27] The inn continues to function as a public house and restaurant.[28]
54–57 High Street[edit]
54–57 High Street is a row of four Grade II listed[29] dwellings in the High Street, built in the early 18th century.[29] They were refaced and partly rebuilt for Rowland Egerton-Warburton of Arley Hall by John Douglas in 1870 or 1875.[16][30] The two outer buildings are houses and the two central buildings are cottages. They are built in brown brick with clay tile roofs, and have two storeys plus attics. Each building has a gable, those on the outer buildings larger than those on the inner, all decorated with brick and plaster.[29]
Flora and fauna[edit]
In the Middle Ages, Budworth Mere was used as a fish hatchery. Stocked with bream and pike, its reeds shelter breeding reed warblers and great crested grebes.[31] Other avifauna includes mallards and coots.[15]
The Soul Cakers Play is a seasonal folk play performed in the village every November which brings together the whole community. It features Saint George, the Black Knight and a Hobby Horse.[15] In Great Budworth, the "soul cake" may be a glass of beer or other sustenance; into it comes the devil, or Beelzebub, now "Belshy Bob".[32]

2009 News Releases
Longwood radio station receives statewide award
July 7, 2009
Longwood University campus radio station WMLU (91.3 FM) recently received the Virginia Association of Broadcasters' award for Outstanding Sports Coverage for a non-commercial/public radio station. [Listen to the award entry audio clip below]
For radio, the award (also given to a television station) honors the best daily sportscast or play-by-play seasonal segment. The award recognizes WMLU's five-member sports staff, whose work includes live broadcasts of men's and women's basketball games and baseball games and a one-hour twice-weekly sports call-in show. The award was presented June 26 during the VAB's annual awards banquet in Virginia Beach.
The award was accepted by Keenan Crump, the station's sports director, and Nathan Epstein, both rising juniors, who often handle the broadcasting duties for basketball and baseball games and co-host the call-in show. WMLU's sports staff also includes Courtney Jones, a rising junior, Chris Medding, a rising senior, and Derek Poe, who will graduate in December 2009. In addition to Crump and Epstein, Jones attended the awards banquet, as did WMLU's general manager, Gerry Martin, and a co-adviser, Jeff Halliday, assistant professor of communications.
Crump and Epstein, who are interested in pursuing a career in sports broadcasting, began broadcasting women's and men's basketball games in the fall of 2008 and baseball games in the spring of 2009. Except for a women's basketball game they did from Virginia Tech - the first broadcast of an away women's basketball game in seven years - all of the basketball and baseball games they did were home games.
"When they were freshmen, Keenan and Nathan elected to bring sports broadcasting back to Longwood," said Halliday, who advises WMLU along with William Lynn, Longwood's multimedia supervisor (who hosts a radio show on local station WFLO-FM). "It had been about five years since there been live broadcasting of a sporting event. Nathan and Keenan are real go-getters. They have worked hard to develop a professional standard that would elevate our broadcasting to the highest level."
Their sports call-in show, "At the Buzzer," aired every Monday and Friday from 2 to 3 p.m. during the recent spring semester. It was launched in fall 2007 by Epstein, whose first co-host was Medding, and originally was called "The Longwood Sports Hour" and was a two-hour show that aired once a week. Crump joined the show at the end of the fall semester in 2007 and became co-host in spring 2008.
The five members of WMLU's sports staff rotate broadcasting duties among board operation, studio work, and on-air performance. Crump, Epstein and Jones are majoring in communication studies, Medding in criminology, and Poe in history.
"Sports broadcasting is really close to my heart because before I took this job (in 2007), I was a television sports anchor and reporter at WDTV in Clarksburg, West Virginia," said Halliday. "We hope the award will help the station staff dedicate themselves to a more professional brand of broadcasting, while having fun at the same time."
WMLU (www.wmlu.org) does live web streaming of music and student programming 24 hours a day, seven days a week. "Thanks to the web streaming, which I established in 2007 as chief engineer, we are worldwide," Martin said. "We have listeners in Europe; I have friends in Iceland who listen to the station. Before, when we had just an antenna, we could reach only about 30 miles away, to around Appomattox, which isn't bad for a small station."
The station, which started in 1981, has had three sets of call letters and four homes on campus. It started as WUTA, later changed its call letters to WLCX and changed them again to WMLU when Longwood became a university in 2002, which is also when the station went from 10 watts to 250 watts. Originally on the top floor of Jarman Hall ("You can still see the 10-watt antenna on the roof of Jarman," Martin said, adding the current antenna is atop Frazer), WMLU moved to Hiner, then to the former Ruffner (in what had been the president's office), and back to Hiner, where currently it is in G-17.
WMLU is funded mostly by the Student Government Association, with the rest of its budget coming from member dues. It has about 60 members, who pay $10 dues per semester as general members (such as sportscasters, newscasters, remote disc jockeys, etc.) and $20 dues as on-air DJs. The station also earns $30 a week from hosting Trivia Night, which started at WingShak and now is held at the Mad Hatter, another Farmville restaurant. "We've been doing Trivia Night in some form since 2004, the same year that our (free) on-campus DJ service, in which we play the music for Longwood-affiliated events, started," said Martin. "Our two major events every year are Battle of the Bands, at Oktoberfest, and Bandfest, at Spring Weekend, which started in 1993."
Martin, a non-traditional student, has been involved with the station since entering Longwood in fall 2004, and he became a member of its executive board when he was made chief engineer in spring 2005. Later he was both program director and chief engineer for a year, and he became general manager in 2008. "I have been continuously a board member since spring 2005," said the computer science major. "A 12-member board, all students of various majors, runs the station on a day-to-day basis. There are no paid positions on the staff. It's almost a full-time job for all of the board members, but we love it."
WMLU's entry in the VAB awards program was a 10-minute audio file, compiled by the station's sports staff, that included segments from game broadcasts and from the call-in show. This was the first time the station had submitted for a VAB award. Anchor and-or reporter delivery, writing, use of video, and overall on-air presentation are judged. The category of non-commercial or public radio stations includes all radio stations with no advertising.
"The award was gratifying because it was validation from our peers," Martin said. "In the future, we'll submit for VAB awards in other categories as well."
The award features a real microphone mounted on a base. Interestingly, the keynote speaker for the VAB's 72nd annual awards program was the rector of the Longwood Board of Visitors, John B. Adams Jr., who is president and CEO of The Martin Agency, a Richmond-based advertising firm.

Firefighters responded to the fire at 3:32 a.m. and found the former Valle Vista Skating Center at 29228 Mission Blvd. fully engulfed in flames.
"The first rig arrived in less than four minutes and encountered a high volume of fire," Hayward fire Chief Craig Bueno said. "There were flames from left to right all across the storefront."
It took 36 firefighters to contain the blaze, and the flames were knocked down at about 4:15 a.m., Bueno said.
Fire departments from Newark, Union City and Fremont assisted the city by responding to other emergency calls as Hayward firefighters battled the blaze.
The fire temporarily closed Mission Boulevard between Industrial Parkway and Tennyson Road. The street reopened at7:26 a.m.
The building, estimated by officials to be about 50,000 square feet, is a total loss, Bueno said. Only the frame of the building remains.
Investigators are treating the fire as suspicious.
"We have solid information to believe the fire may have been caused by an arsonist," Bueno said.
There were no immediate reports of injuries, according to Bueno, who said the building had been shut down for several years and was known to be utilized by homeless.
"It has a history of being occupied by transients," he said. "We haven't ruled out any civilian injuries."
Wire services contributed to this report.

Business Never Personal is the fourth studio album by hip hop duo EPMD, released July 28, 1992 on Def Jam Records.[1] Following mixed criticism of their previous studio effort, 1990's Business As Usual, the duo was able to return to their past acclaim on Business Never Personal. The album is considered the duo's third classic by fans and critics. The record was originally given a rating of 4.5 mics out of 5 in The Source in 1992.[2] The lead single, "Crossover", became its biggest success, nearly reaching the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. Ironically, the song was about keeping it real and not crossing over to the mainstream, but became EPMD's biggest mainstream success. The duo cut "Head Banger" with Redman and K-Solo was also a hit in 1992. The album was later certified Gold in sales by the RIAA on October 13, 1992.[3] The single "Crossover" was certified Gold on November 16, 1992. While it has yet to feature a U.S. reissue, Business Never Personal has been re-released in 2005 on vinyl in Europe.[4]

Men Who Have Sex with Men Very Vulnerable to Resistant Gonorrhea
Men Who Have Sex with Men Very Vulnerable to Resistant Gonorrhea
Men who have sex with men are particularly vulnerable to the emerging threat of antimicrobial-resistant N. gonorrhoeae, according to a study of six years of surveillance data from publicly funded sexually transmitted disease clinics across the US. The authors suggest that clinicians monitor antimicrobial treatment failures among these men diagnosed with gonorrhea, and they also call for strengthened prevention strategies and new treatment options.

One useful alternative if cephalosporin resistance emerges may be gentamicin. Even though gentamicin does not meet current CDC criteria for recommended treatment of gonorrhea, this systematic review and meta-analysis found that a single dose of gentamicin was highly effective in the treatment of uncomplicated urogenital gonococcal infections.

My son turns 2 in January, meaning this is the first time he really knows something's going on during the holiday season. He avidly pointed out where each of our ornaments should hang on the Christmas tree and he tells me approximately 3,000 times a day that I need to turn the twinkling white lights "ON, on, ON!" He's not completely aware of the whole gift-giving and receiving thing yet, but I'm sure he'll catch on to ripping off the wrapping paper in no time. I struggle with what to buy him for Christmas, especially because he doesn't know yet he's

It's about time… the total cost of travel
Two weeks ago, airlines started to publish the total cost of their tickets, including taxes, fees, charges and surcharges. Basically, airlines are catching up to what VIA Rail has been doing all along.
But there is more to the cost of travel than the price of a ticket and associated fees. There is also the cost of travelling to and from terminals and, the value of your time. When one considers all three elements, VIA Rail is almost always the best choice for same-day travel between Montreal-Quebec, Montreal-Ottawa, Toronto-Kingston, Toronto-London and, overnight travel between Toronto-Ottawa and Toronto-Montreal.
With regard to the price of tickets, VIA Rail's all-in fares are consistently lower, in all classes of service, compared to any other all-in fares.
And with regard to the cost of travel to and from terminals, VIA Rail's downtown locations and convenient suburban stations make for low ground transportation costs (eg. public transit, taxi fares).
It is also a great way to avoid congested highways, road construction and the parking nightmare while saving on gas and reducing your carbon footprint.
Finally, the cost of time is where VIA Rail's service is far more advantageous than either car or air travel if you consider the total time of travel, from door to door and, more importantly, the value of your time.
Conveniently-located terminals and simple boarding procedures make it fast and easy to travel. There are no shuttles or ferries to catch and no long rides to terminals where multiple line-ups await. All you have to do is get to a downtown or suburban station, hop on-board and enjoy the ride!
Once on-board a VIA Rail train, passengers can work, surf or chat using a world-class mobile Wi-Fi system; enjoy premium food and beverages; sit, stand or walk around in comfort; bring along their baggage; and throughout their trip, receive quality customer service. Time spent on-board a VIA Rail train is time well spent for work, leisure, downtime, chat time or, all of the above.
Yes, in some cases, train travel time may be equal to, or a bit longer than driving or flying. But, when you travel by train, your travel time becomes productive time, useful time, quality time, an uninterrupted block of time.
Choosing to travel on VIA Rail means choosing to pay less, for downtown to downtown service, while having a better, more productive, more human travel experience. It's about time!

its such a tradgey of the lost of your employees,and speed is now the factor, i take the via canadian to edmonton from toronto at least 4 times a year, does that mean since u will have a big law suite against you , that the prices are going to go up, if so, ill have to fly, thank you and R.I.P to the employees that lost there life, also my deepest sympathy to there families
Dan Fraser permalink
In Belgium I was able to travel over a hundred kilometers on a train for $7.50. I didn't have to buy tickets in advance, I didn't have to line up to board, I just stood on the platform and stepped on the train when the doors opened. The trains ran every hour and departed and arrived on time.
This is how local train travel should be.
You shouldn't be competing with the airlines, you should be competing with the car and the bus.

A Houma man has been arrested after allegedly damaging an uncooperative gas pump.
The Courier reports Terrebonne Parish sheriff's deputies arrested Sean Charles Oshea, 27, of Houma on charges of criminal damage to property.
Deputies say Oshea told them he pulled up to the gas station at the Sam's Club store and became irate after the pump would not accept his debit card.
Deputies said Oshea started beating on the pump with the hose nozzle, causing damage estimated at several thousand dollars.
It was unclear whether he has an attorney.

The Nobelity Project partners with Seva Foundation in their fight against preventable blindness.
Thursday, October 11 is World Sight Day. It may seem odd to celebrate something we so often take for granted like eyesight, but if you are one of the three million people in the world whose sight has been restored by Seva, then you will likely be partying like a rock star! (A big thanks goes to Jackson Browne for permission to use his song "Doctor My Eyes" in my new short film Let There Be Sight and for Jackson's 30-year support of Seva's work!)

Summary: Cudahy, Wisconsin; General Obligation Nov 09
- November 2009
- Region: Wisconsin
- Standard & Poors
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has raised its underlying rating (SPUR) on Cudahy, Wis.' general obligation (GO) debt to 'AA-' from 'A+', based on the city's maintenance of very strong reserves. The city's series 2009A GO corporate purpose bonds and series 2009B taxable GO bonds have been rated 'AA-'. In our opinion, the rating also reflects the city's: Access to the diverse Milwaukee, Wis. area economic base; Steady tax base growth due to successful redevelopment efforts; Management characterized as "good" under our Financial Management Assessment; and Sound financial operations. The city's moderately high debt levels temper these strengths. The city's obligation to levy unlimited ad valorem property taxes to pay debt service secures the bonds, but the city intends to...

Diversity is a word we often hear, frequently it is in relation to race, gender, religion or politics. That word takes on a whole new meaning here at the farm. We are a diverse farm in many ways. We don't rely on a single crop for our income, nor do we raise just one kind of animal. Our garden is constantly in rotation depending on the season. Early spring brings peas, rhubarb and lettuce, mid summer has peppers, corn and tomatoes and in late fall we'll be harvesting pumpkins, winter squash, onions and potatoes. Planting a wide variety of crops (many more than on the short list above!) not only gives us an income throughout a much greater part of the year, it is also a safety net for when weather or pests hit a crop. For instance, last year, we got virtually no tomatoes due to late blight that arrived fairly early in the season. While we weren't able to make much of a profit on them, it was fine because we had other things to offer. I also preserve what I can and am able to offer lots of pickled vegetables or jellies, and I'm having a lot of fun experimenting with making my own vinegar and mustards. It all helps to make a well-rounded assortment of home-produced goods for our customers! Another benefit to many varieties of plants is that we nearly always have something blooming, which is great for attracting beneficial insects, especially pollinators. A colony of wild honeybees is much more likely to take up residence near a field with a variety of plants that blooms from May through October than a monocrop field of acres of potatoes or soybean which is only in bloom for a few weeks out of the whole year. The bees, butterflies and other insects benefit from us, and we in turn reap the benefits of natural pollination without any input in time or money. It's a natural cycle that works beautifully.
Having a variety of animals also contributes to the diversity of our products: we sell pork, beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, eggs to eat and in the spring we can offer fertile hatching eggs, baby geese, ducks and chicks as well. Right now I have peachicks (baby peacocks) for sale as well as another batch of baby rabbits that will be ready to go in another month or so. Not only is a variety of animals good for our market, it's good for our fields. Cows have favorite plants in the pasture, as do horses, but they are not the same ones. Sheep eat plants down close to the ground while the goats prefer the taller brush and thorns. When a variety of pasture plants are eaten, none get overgrazed and it reduces the need, as well as the expense, of reseeding the pasture. Still, the pastures are important parts of the farm and do require periodic maintenance. I had noticed a corner of the pasture near the house had grown up in thistle. Now goats will eat this, but too much can overtake the pasture so I had every intention of going out and cutting them down to encourage the grass to grow. But, as so often happens on a farm, you get busy with other tasks and before I knew it the thistles were tall and blooming. As I went to feed my rabbits one evening, a spot of yellow caught my eye among the purple. My mother is an avid birdwatcher and I knew from years of seeing her feed them that this little drop of sunshine was a goldfinch, and that their preferred food is thistle seed. As I looked, three of them were carefully pulling the fluff from the flowers and eating the seeds. Nature loves diversity and everything, even plants we humans don't fully appreciate on "our" land, have a place and a purpose. Although I will cut the thistle down, it's nice to know when it reappears somewhere else (and it will!) that even something thorny and unpleasant to the touch can still bring such beauty and grace close by.

Persistent rumors of a smaller - or, more recently, larger - iPhone are apparently untrue, with insiders suggesting that instead Apple is looking to shrink the price of the iOS smartphone. According to the NYTimes' anonymous sources the new iPhone 5, expected to arrive this summer, will offer voice command control and perhaps a broader range of SKUs, all with the same physical size but differing in certain core ways.
"Although the innards of the phone, including memory size or camera quality, could change to offer a less expensive model, the size of the device would not vary" claims the source, who has supposedly worked on multiple versions of the iPhone 5. Changing the physical scale, with a smaller display, is unlikely to actually work out cost-effective for Apple, and would require that iOS developers rework their apps to suit.
Meanwhile, earlier talk of a MobileMe makeover has apparently been corroborated, becoming a free service offering wireless sync and media streaming. "The goal is that your photos and other media content will eventually just sync across all your Apple devices without people having to do anything" the source claims, suggesting that reducing the amount of onboard storage future iPhones required - since content could be streamed instead - would add up to a cheaper handset.

Case Status: Anubis has been ordered to pay a fine of 4 million deben: 1,000 deben for every year the scales weren't examined. Additionally, there is a possibility that people whose hearts were weighed incorrectly may enter a class-action lawsuit to get their hearts back. That is, if Ammit's willing to spit them out…

How remarkable is it that the next several days brings us two exceptionally gifted keyboard artists, intent on collaboration with separate string quartets, both of which have also earned their considerable measure of international renown?
Well, to be honest, this being the richly endowed Bay Area, with its treasure trove of musical resources, it's not really that uncommon at all. The better news is that three days separate pianists Joyce Yang's and Marc-Andre Hamelin's San Francisco performances, so the hardcore chamber music devotee can see them both and pick a favorite.
First up is the 26-year-old Korean native Yang, who first wowed the concert world by capturing the silver medal as the youngest contender at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2005. Also the winner of an Avery Fisher Career Grant and the Arthur Rubinstein Prize -- both in 2010 -- Yang will be joining San Francisco's own Alexander String Quartet, resident artists at San Francisco State University and at San Francisco Performances, in a 1:10 p.m. free recital Friday in Knuth Hall in the Creative Arts Building on campus. The program, a preview of a longer concert the artists will give at Kohl Mansion in Burlingame on Sunday evening, will be entirely devoted to Brahms' magnificent Piano Quintet in F minor, one of the composer's most popular chamber works.
Our second celebrated pianist is the French-Canadian Hamelin, 52, returning to the San Francisco Performances lineup for the ninth time Monday night to join the Grammy-winning Pacifica Quartet -- also a staple at SFP -- in a 7:30 p.m. program at the new SFJazz Center, which is notable for its depth and diversity. Hamelin, whose list of acclaimed recordings is indeed much longer than your arm, is a bit of a champion of the somewhat neglected 20th-century composer Leo Ornstein, a Russian-born American who died in Wisconsin in 2002 at the age of 108. His Quintet for Piano and Strings, considered by many his most significant work, forms the crux of Hamelin's and the Pacifica's recital and is a work they intend to record together.
Details: Free tickets for Yang/Alexander's Friday performance (1600 Holloway Ave. in San Francisco) are available at 415-338-2467 or http://creativestate.sfsu.edu. Tickets for the concert at Kohl Mansion, 2750 Adeline Drive in Burlingame, are $15-$48, available at 650-762-1130 or www.musicatkohl.org. Tickets for the Hamelin/Pacifica recital, at 201 Franklin Street at Fell in San Francisco, are $25-$68, available at 415-392-2545 or www.sfperformances.org.
OPERA FOR ONE AND ALL: Last year, San Francisco Opera threw open its doors for its first community open house, and some 4,000 people showed up. That, apparently, was enough for General Manager David Gockley to launch a tradition, and Saturday from 10:30 to 2:30 p.m. at War Memorial Opera House, 301 Van Ness Ave., marks the second such wide-open invitation. Gockley will be there to welcome individuals and families who are curious about what it takes to mount an opera, as will some singers from the company's Adler Fellows resident program, the San Francisco Opera Orchestra with resident conductor Giuseppe Finzi and director Ian Robertson's redoubtable Opera Chorus.
In addition to the musical presentations, there will be many tempting hands-on activities for visitors, including singalongs with the chorus and singers, workshops in stage combat and prop-making, makeup and costume demonstrations, including a costume booth with photo opportunities and a scavenger hunt throughout the nooks and crannies of the Opera House. Food trucks from Off the Grid will also be on the premises, and there will be an outdoor beer and wine garden open at noon on the loggia of the Grand Tier level. All ages are welcome, with the morning activities geared more to the little ones and more opportunities for adult involvement after noon. Best of all, the entire event is free, and attendees will be eligible to win tickets to S.F. Opera's upcoming productions of Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" (Nov. 13-Dec. 1) and "The Barber of Seville for Families" (Nov. 24 and 30).

Google Maps now clocks bicycle routes in Dallas
The L.A. Times Technology Blog clued me into a new feature on Google Maps today, and if you are a cyclist in Dallas you'll probably like the news.
Now you can route your trek throughout the city by bicycle, as well as by walking, public transit or driving. I am a little Googled out, to be perfectly candid, but the feature is useful.
Details from the L.A. Times:
The new Google Maps bicycling feature is available in 150 U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York City. The tool boasts over 12,000 bike trails. When users look for directions, the company's mapping algorithm weights trails more heavily than roads for safety reasons. If cities have bicycle lanes, those are also weighted more heavily than roads without them.
One of the neatest features built into the Google Maps bicycling tool is its power-exertion calculation. According to the company, biking directions "compute the effort [bicyclists] will require and the speed [they will] achieve while going uphill." Based on those calculations, the tool provides bicyclists with a route that eliminates areas that would require "an unreasonable degree of exertion."
I checked and the maps tell me it will take 38 minutes for me to ride my bike from the office, at 508 Young Street, to White Rock Lake, which is about six minutes a mile for the 6.6 mile trip. (You can go via the Katy Trail and add about seven minutes.)
Why don't you cyclists out there take the map for a test drive. Do its times and suggested routes correspond to the paths you take each day? Let us know in the comments.

An erudite scholar and an elegant writer, Gordon S. Wood has won both numerous awards and a broad readership since the 1969 publication of his widely acclaimed The Creation of the American Republic. With The Purpose of the Past, Wood has essentially created a history of American history, assessing the current state of history vis-à-vis the work of some of its most important scholars-doling out praise and scorn with equal measure. In this wise, passionate defense of history's ongoing necessity, Wood argues that we cannot make intelligent decisions about the future without understanding our past. Wood offers a master's insight into what history-at its best-can be and reflects on its evolving and essential role in our culture.

Carbon dioxide exchange to open in Texas, yes Texas
A group of apparent optimists will open a new carbon dioxide credit exchange in Texas this week, hoping to attract customers with a lower membership fee than exchanges in countries that regulate the greenhouse gas.
The Texas Climate & Carbon Exchange will open Thursday in Austin with one client, the city of Beppu, Japan. The exchange doesn't yet have any customers who might want to sell carbon credits on the exchange, said Pam Reed, one of four executives who owns the exchange. The Texas clients will be able to trade on Australia's Carbon Trade Exchange.
A carbon dioxide exchange allows people who emit the greenhouse gas to offset those emissions by buying credits. The credits come from people who either cut emissions or eliminate carbon dioxide, say by making a factory run more efficiently or planting trees that consume the gas. Carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change.
Reed, a former Commissioner with the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, (now known as the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality), said the exchange will market itself to the wind and solar companies operating in Texas, as well as to companies that want to offset their emissions to buff up their brands.
She said the Texas exchange will charge new members a few thousand dollars, rather than the tens of thousands of dollars some international exchanges charge.
And, she said, she and her colleagues are working on some products geared toward individuals who want to offset the carbon dioxide emissions created by their own, personal consumption. (Not, presumably, from breathing. Though that would be possible.)
But, so, here's the issue: Carbon dioxide is not regulated in the U.S. The power plants and factories that make Texas the No. 1 greenhouse gas emitting state don't have to do anything about it. Some people volunteer to offset their own emissions, out of concern for the environment or concern for their image. But hardly anyone expects the U.S. to regulate greenhouse gases anytime soon.

One More Rationale for That High Performance Sports Car
Kay Segler, head of BMW AG's high performance M brand, says car makers shouldn't give up building really fast cars, like the forthcoming BMW 1 series M coupe. How better to attract bright engineers to the auto industry?
"It's a task for all of us to make cars so exciting that young people will aspire to be car engineers," Mr. Segler says. Otherwise, the best engineering students will wind up designing iPads or other digital gadgets, not cars like the 335-horsepower 1 Series M, which can zip from zero to 60 miles per hour in under five seconds.
Tighter fuel economy regulations in most major BMW markets puts an extra burden on performance car engineers to achieve backside-pinning acceleration without slurping fuel. BMW's current M5 sedan has a 500 horsepower engine — and fuel economy rated at 13 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving.
To achieve Mr. Segler's goal of improving the M5's fuel efficiency by 25%-30% means more advanced software controlling the engine, more use of exotic, lightweight materials in the body, and even more clever engineering to keep bodies light and strong at the same time.
Mr. Segler says BMW's next generation M5 sedan will feature a more advanced version of the so-called "M" button that drivers can push to kick the car toward the outer edge of its performance and handling capabilities.
The new M Button will allow the M5 to have two more clearly distinct personalities: A business sedan for the work week, and a race car for free time fun.
"You save money with an M5," Mr. Segler says. "You have two cars in one."
