Just after he turned forty-four, in August 1908, George Washington Carver visited the farm where he had been born and raised, along with the two key figures of his first thirteen years—his former owner Mose Carver and Mariah Watkins. For the first and last time in his life, Carver seemed to be seeking out people and scenes of those years that he had left behind with barely a look back.
Maybe he went because Mose, whom he hadn't seen in nineteen years, was ninety-six. Maybe he had heard that the old man was planning to pass along his mother's spinning wheel to him. Maybe Mariah's Watkins' letter to him a couple of years earlier, after thirty years not seeing him, was a factor in his going.
From Tuskegee Institute, the Alabama school for blacks where Carver headed the Agriculture Department, he rode over 750 miles of train track northwest to the small town of Neosho, Missouri, eight miles from his birthplace. There in the colored neighborhood he stayed with eighty-five-year-old Mariah Watkins and her husband Andrew, with whom he had lived for a school year after leaving home at age twelve in search of knowledge.
From an adolescent tiny for his age, George was now over six feet tall with a full brushy mustache. His eyes, full of warm kindness blended with blazing intelligence, mirrored the beauties of nature he had spent his life studying. A former schoolmate, hearing from Mariah that George had come home, came by dressed in livery for his job as the horse-and-buggy equivalent of a limo driver. He recalled George in heavy, ankle-high boots, jeans and a heavy work shirt: "I was all dressed up and had no brains and there he was in brogan shoes, jeans and a hickory shirt and all his brains. And I was ashamed. George was sitting there just as calm as an old shoe."
This is a slide-show Table of Contents. Leave it on and watch Carver's life flash before your eyes.

Police are searching for clues Sunday after shots were fired into a boarding house.
Authorities with the Greensboro Police Department said the shots were fired about 2:30 a.m. at the residence on Pine Street.
Investigators said one round hit the house, but no one inside was hurt.
Officials learned two of the residents at the house fled before police arrived. They believe a dispute between those two people and another person prompted the incident.
An investigation is underway.

The 79-year-old novelist recently told a French publication, Les inRocks, that his 2010 release "Nemesis" would be his last. A spokeswoman for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt said Friday that she spoke with Roth and that he confirmed his remarks. Roth completed more than 20 novels over half a century and often turning out one a year. He won virtually every prize short of the Nobel and wrote such classics as "American Pastoral" and "Portnoy's Complaint." (AP Photo/Richard Drew, file)

Kids BBQ Recipes Delicious Ribs
I recently had the opportunity to review a Rec Tec Grills and the first meal we cooked on it included this Kids BBQ Recipes for Delicious BBQ Ribs. My daughter (10 years old) was involved in the whole process from start to finish. She even took responsibility for helping create and record the marinade recipe. She was very excited as this was the first time she played such a major role in a recipe. She even learned to step out of the box and try new spices she wouldn't normally use. Not only was her marinade amazing the Rec Tec Grill made this Kids BBQ Recipes a hit for everyone at the BBQ there was barely a bite left when the meal was over.
Kids BBQ Recipes – Delicious BBQ Ribs
***This recipe does you beer but if you do not like to cook with alcohol you can easily substitute non-alcoholic beer or beef/chicken stock***
- 3 Racks of Baby Back Ribs (Approximately 5-6 Pounds)
- 3 Honey Brown Lager (36 oz)
- 4 Clove Garlic, diced or 4 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1/2 cup Chopped Onion

- 2 Cups CrockPot Simple Barbecue Sauce
- In large bowl combine all your ingredients being careful to mix all the spices throughout.
- Make sure all the liquids are blended together very well.
- If your rack of ribs won't fit in your dish in one piece, cut them down into pieces that will fit.
- Place them in the marinade and let them sit for at least 6 hour up till 24 hours.
- **If pressed for time you can Parboil the ribs.**
- To parboil, dilute the marinade with water into 2 pots and divided the ribs in half. Boil on medium for 30 minutes.
- Then place on a preheated grill at *350 for 30 minutes.
- Coat with Barbecue Sauce and let cook for an additional 15 minutes.
- **If you are not pressed for time you can skip the parboil and go right to cooking them on the grill.**
- Place them on a preheated grill at *275 and cook for 3 hours.
- Coat with Barbecue Sauce and let cook for an additional 30 minutes.

I'm buying my wheel!
Hi all. I am purchasing my first wheel from a company here in Wisconsin and they are doing a layaway plan for me. I am soo excited. I am going to get an Ashford Traveller. Anyone have any experience with this wheel? I am just so excited to get one and have one that I can travel with since we do a lot of traveling throughout the year back and forth to see family in the state.
Wooo hooo! The only down side is I don't get the wheel until it is paid for. :crying: It will be hard to wait. I don't want to charge it, which is tempting, but I want to pay for it outright, so I suffer the wait..... ;)
Woo Hoo!! Congratulations Sara. I'm sure it's going to be hard to wait (I'm still waiting for mine to turn up), but totally worth it not to be charging it. I have no experience with the Ashford Traveller (well, I have no experience spinning LOL), but I just wanted to say congrats. :happydance:

Is Battleground Texas a Hillary Clinton vote machine?
Remember Battleground Texas – the group that wants to turn Texas blue? How about turning Texas into Hillary country? A founder of Battleground Texas – Obama campaign national field director Jeremy Bird – has joined a superPAC to support a Hillary Clinton run for president. The PAC – Ready for Hillary – has significant Texas ties. Houston trial lawyers and Democratic mega-donors Steve and Amber Mostyn are founding members of Ready for Hillary. The Mostyns have emerged as the biggest political givers in Texas supporting Democrat candidates and causes. Steve Mostyn donated $3 million to a pro-Obama super PAC, Priorities USA, in 2012. And the couple also helped launch former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords's gun control group with $1 million. In the 2010 governor's race in Texas, the Mostyns targeted Gov. Rick Perry's reelection, chiding the Republican incumbent for refusing debates with his Democratic opponent with full-page newspaper ads with a headline saying "Coward."
Ready for Hillary was started earlier this year by Clinton supporters. That's about when Battleground Texas got off the ground, led by Bird and other Obama campaign émigrés. Bird said his goal with Battleground Texas is to register and turn out new Democratic voters to make the Democratic party competitive in Texas elections up and down the ballot. The last time a Democrat won statewide office was 1994. The Clinton superPAC is not directly affiliated with the former first lady and Clinton herself has not indicated whether she will run for president in 2016. But Hillary Clinton at the top of the ticket in 2016 could attract moderate suburban woman as well as Democratic voters and a growing population of Hispanics, particularly young Latinas who will be an influential voting bloc in future years.
The numbers don't favor Democrats anytime soon. Experts anticipate it could take until 2018 or 2020 before Democratic candidates become competitive in the state. Texas is the biggest solidly red state in the country. Bird and Battleground Texas want to change that. It's hard to imagine Democrats spending much money in Texas in the 2016 presidential race when there are other states that would offer a presidential nominee far better odds. But with California, New York and Massachusetts reliably in the Democratic column, winning Texas would be a game changer for the party in national elections. A Democratic presidential nominee who could capture those four states would be half way to electoral votes necessary to win the White House.

TAMPA, Fla. _ USD's men's basketball team, led by 14 points from Gyno Pomare, held a 34-29 lead over Connecticut at halftime of the NCAA Tournament first-round game at the St. Pete Times Forum here this afternoon.
USD never trailed by more than three points and led by as many as six. Pomare was 6-for-8 on field goal attempts, the last, a 15-footer in the closing seconds, provided the Toreros' halftime margin.
Brandon Johnson added eight points and Trumaine Johnson six for USD.
UConn lost All-Big East guard A.J. Price to a knee injury 10:21 into the contest. The Huskies were led by 11 points from Jeff Adrien. The teams were even in rebounding with 16 apiece.

The first year Danny Fishback started working on the chain gang at Shelbyville High School football games wasn't the best year.
"I think it rained about every home game, or at least five of the six," he said. "I think somebody have to be about half crazy to do this."
That was 1972, and Fishback came back the next year and the next and the next and the one after that, until he looked up this year, his 37th on the sideline and decided he had had enough.
For years Kentucky Retirement Systems has been falling into a hole, and State Rep. Brad Montell (R-Shelbyville) says it's time to make some tough decisions to bring it out.
One thing he wants the state to look at is Bill Request 86, which he prefiled for the 2010 session. The bill would change the retirement plan for legislators elected on or after July 1, 2011.
I heard a story about a man, who, after drinking a little too much cider at a Halloween party, was trying to "walk it off" on his way home. Taking a shortcut through a graveyard, he accidentally stumbled into a freshly dug grave.
Try as he might to climb out, because of his mostly inebriated condition and because the rain that had fallen earlier in the day had made the sides of the grave muddy and slick, he finally gave up.
John Clayton could not have painted a better picture for the life he leads.
"I wake up every day to painting and music," he said. "It's a wonderful life."
Clayton, 80, has been working with both for the better part of 60 years.
His studies in art have taken him to the University of Kentucky, Western Kentucky University and the Chicago Art Institute.
Shelby's unemployment
drops in September
Shelby County's unemployment dipped slightly in September to 9.6 percent, which makes it one of the top rates in the state. The rate was 10 percent in August.
Because of predicted weather, the Shelby County High School football team will play its regular-season finale at Oldham County on Thursday at 7 p.m., instead of Friday as originally scheduled.
Darnell Jordan Clark, 18, of 316 Midland Blvd. No. 2 in Shelbyville was arrested Oct. 25 at 159 Baker Drive and charged with first-degree robbery.
Marvin Humberto Cerna, 32, of 203 Lynn Acres in Shelbycille was arrested Oct. 26 at the detention center and charged with sexual abuse in the first degree.
Cheryl Lynn Hinkle, 40, of 2139 Main St. in Sarasota, Fla., was arrested Oct. 20 at Baker and Mareli and charged with fourth-degree assault with no visibly injury and alcohol intoxication.
Extra chairs had to be brought out for last minute seating, and there were still several people standing in the back as more than 100 strong crammed into the Stratton Community Center on Monday night to hear about a potential downtown "City Center."
Presenter Leon Mooneyhan said he was pleasantly surprised as he watched the overflow crowd pour in.
The Eminence High School archery team finished 11th at the World Competition in Orlando earlier this month.
Coach Rusty Barrett, who also runs Pure Reflection Paint and Collision Repair on 7th Street in Shelbyville, took over after the team's former coach, Dewayne Douglas, died unexpectedly in January.
Eminence qualified for the international competition based on the team's performances during the 2008-09 season, in which it finished 36th in the state and 83rd in the nation.

#8151 closed (fixed)
UnicodeDecodeError from /django/contrib/admin/options.py in save_change

|Easy pickings:
As reported here: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/msg/845d2a8899bbb57c
The failing line of code in the dpaste traceback is:
File "/home/rime/www/tammeoue/packages/django/contrib/admin/options.py" in save_change 431. msg = _('The %(name)s "%(obj)s" was changed successfully.') % {'name': force_unicode(opts.verbose_name), 'obj': new_object}
This is similar to #7992/#8016 -- some code that moved from django/contrib/admin/views/main.py in old admin to django/contrib/admin/options.py in newforms-admin was missed when the Unicode changes were merged from trunk to newforms-admin. The corresponding line of code in pre-NFA (http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tags/notable_moments/pre-newforms-admin/django/contrib/admin/views/main.py#L354) is:
msg = _('The %(name)s "%(obj)s" was changed successfully.') % {'name': force_unicode(opts.verbose_name), 'obj': force_unicode(new_object)}
That is, there is a force_unicode around the new_object as well as opts.verbose_name. It's probably worth a closer look to see if any other places have been missed; I'll do this when I get a chance but don't wait on me to fix it if someone else gets to it first.

[OpenCL] Several delegates buggyPosted Wednesday, 11 November, 2009 - 22:37 by nythrix
|The Open Toolkit library
|bug report
Jump to:
public static int EnqueueCopyImage( IntPtr command_queue, IntPtr src_image, IntPtr dst_image, IntPtr** src_origin, IntPtr** dst_origin, IntPtr** region, int num_events_in_wait_list, IntPtr* event_wait_list, IntPtr* @event );
cl.h contains:
extern CL_API_ENTRY cl_int CL_API_CALL clEnqueueCopyImage(cl_command_queue /* command_queue */, cl_mem /* src_image */, cl_mem /* dst_image */, const size_t * /* src_origin[3] */, const size_t * /* dst_origin[3] */, const size_t * /* region[3] */, cl_uint /* num_events_in_wait_list */, const cl_event * /* event_wait_list */, cl_event * /* event */) CL_API_SUFFIX__VERSION_1_0;
The specs:
cl_int clEnqueueCopyImage (cl_command_queue command_queue, cl_mem src_image, cl_mem dst_image, const size_t src_origin[3], const size_t dst_origin[3], const size_t region[3], cl_uint num_events_in_wait_list, const cl_event *event_wait_list, cl_event *event)
I strongly suggest sticking to the specs. An array is basically a pointer so adding another indirection is useless (if not erroneous). IMO the
[3] in
cl.h is just a hint and not part of the declaration.
This affects all
clEnqueue* functions that take at least one
cl_mem image argument.
|» confirmed
The cl.h-to-XML converter is parsing this line
const size_t * /* src_origin[3] */
const size_t * src_origin[3]
which is then translated to
(where size_t* -> IntPtr* and [3] -> *)
In other words, the issue is caused by mis-parsing the C header. I don't think this can be fixed without breaking other parts of the parser, so the solution is to use overrides.xml and correct those functions by hand.
I have inquired Khronos about OpenCL spec files but unfortunately it seems the headers are all hand-written.
Please post any other such issues you encounter!
That's exactly what I thought. However, I'm not blaming the generator itself. Until it gets some sort of AI, we're on our own :)
I'm posting a possible workaround for this issue. I have no knowledge of the generator so a review might be in place.
<function name="EnqueueReadImage" extension="Core"> <param name="origin"><type>IntPtr*</type></param> <param name="region"><type>IntPtr*</type></param> </function> <function name="EnqueueWriteImage" extension="Core"> <param name="origin"><type>IntPtr*</type></param> <param name="region"><type>IntPtr*</type></param> </function> <function name="EnqueueCopyImage" extension="Core"> <param name="src_origin"><type>IntPtr*</type></param> <param name="dst_origin"><type>IntPtr*</type></param> <param name="region"><type>IntPtr*</type></param> </function> <function name="EnqueueCopyImageToBuffer" extension="Core"> <param name="src_origin"><type>IntPtr*</type></param> <param name="region"><type>IntPtr*</type></param> </function> <function name="EnqueueCopyBufferToImage" extension="Core"> <param name="dst_origin"><type>IntPtr*</type></param> <param name="region"><type>IntPtr*</type></param> </function> <function name="EnqueueMapImage" extension="Core"> <param name="origin"><type>IntPtr*</type></param> <param name="region"><type>IntPtr*</type></param> </function>
Have you tried this, Fiddler? I tried putting those lines into
../Source/Bind/Specifications/CL10/overrides.xml and recreate the bindings but the generator doesn't like me.
When can we expect the CL/ES bindings move back into "official" OpenTK? Release 1.1? Further on down the roadmap?
Make sure the overrides are placed inside the
<replace> section of overrides.xml and invoke the generator as follows:
Bind.exe -mode:cl -out:..\..\..\OpenTK\Source\Compute
This seems to work fine here. (Edit: update opentk trunk first to make comparisons between existing CL.cs and new CL.cs easier).
ES20 is already available in opentk-1.0, while CL should be part of opentk-1.1. ES10/ES11 depend on whether anyone displays interest for the APIs.
Ok, this workaround doesn't really work. Instead of replacing
IntPtr** with
IntPtr*, the two get merged together so I end up with a triple pointer. Not good.
Sounds like a bug in the generator, let me check what is going on here.
Ok I finally tracked down the bit of code that does the parsing. File ESCLParser.cs, lines 215-218:
// The second part (after the '|') matches parameters of the following formats: // '[parameter type] [parameter name]', '[parameter type] [pointer] [parameter name]', 'const [parameter type][pointer] [parameter name]' // where [parameter name] may be inside comments (/* ... */) and [pointer] is '', '*', '**', etc. var get_param = new Regex(@"(\w+\s\(\*\w+\)\s*\(.*\)\s*(/\*.*?\*/|\w+)? | (const\s)?(\w+\s*)+\**\s*(/\*.*?\*/|\w+(\[.*?\])?)),?", RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace);
Now, the problem lies with the "[parameter name] may be inside comments" assumption. It should be modified to "[parameter name] [warning]AND MORE[/warning] may be inside comments". These hairy bits can, surprisingly, change the parameter type.
The cl.h-to-XML converter is parsing this line
const size_t * /* src_origin[3] */
const size_t * src_origin[3]
It didn't occurr to me before but this transition is a solid bug. Such a step is wrong because you're changing the API here.
The [param name] in the comment should be stripped out of everything except the first identificator-style word. If this breaks anything then there are more undiscovered bugs in the bindings.
In other words, the issue is caused by mis-parsing the C header. I don't think this can be fixed without breaking other parts of the parser, so the solution is to use overrides.xml and correct those functions by hand.
Aehm, no. See above. Besides, this advice reminds me of a certain gigantic SW corporation :D
Acutally it's simple as plastic: Under no circumstances shall the removal of a comment change the API...
Instead of replacing IntPtr** with IntPtr*, the two get merged together so I end up with a triple pointer.
This issue is a completely different story that comes from another part of the generator: #1506: [Generator] Bad pointer type overriding..
Seems there could be a simple solution after all. Does this patch to 'converter' fix the issue?

Apply, compile and run with
converter -p cl -v 1.0 [path to cl.h]. (Edit: I'd test it myself, but monodevelop/gmcs don't want to cooperate right now).
One thing to keep in mind is that converter started as a simple (15 line) helper script I wrote for internal use. I never intended to release it to the public and I never intended it to make it complex or make it produce 100% correct results. If it has a bug that is simpler to fix by patching its output, so be it. (This doesn't seem to be the case here, after all).
Unfortunately, that wipes out every pointer type.
But this works:

Church of St Maria Assunta (Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta)
The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta dates from the 7th century, although most of what you see today was built in the 9th, 11th, 12th and 14th centuries. The 11th- and 12th-century renovations in the Byzantine style include some stunning mosaic pieces on the interior walls in what's called the Byzantine-Ravennate school. If you've visited St. Mark's Basilica in Venice and liked the colorful mosaics there, then you'll love seeing the mosaics in the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta—in the same style, but older.

On December 15, 2013 the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA�s Aqua satellite flew over the Iberian Peninsula and captured this true-color image of a sunny autumn day. At the time this image was captured, two banks of fog hung over Spain, one in the northwest and one in the valley southwest of the Pyrenees Mountains.
The Iberian Peninsula sits on the southwestern tip of the European continent and is washed by the Mediterranean Sea in the east, the Bay of Biscay in the north and the Atlantic Ocean in the west. The Strait of Gibraltar separates the sovereignty of Gibraltar and Spain (on the Iberian Peninsula), from Morocco (Africa). At its narrowest point, the Strait is only 8.9 mi (14.3 km) wide. At the northeast corner of the Peninsula, the tall Pyrenees Mountains form the border between Spain and France.
Spain holds the majority of land on the Peninsula, and Portugal comprises a broad a strip of the southwestern section. The sovereignty of Gibraltar contains about 2.6 sq mi (6.8 sq km) of land at the entrance of the Mediterranean Sea. Nestled in the heights of the Pyrenees Mountains the Principality of Andorra sits on the Iberian Peninsula between Spain and France. Although only 468 sq km (181 sq mi) in size � or about 2.5 times the size of Washington, D.C., Andorra draws approximately 10 million visitors each year, mostly tourists drawn by winter sports, the favorable summer climate, and duty-free goods.

The Effects of Secondhand Smoke
In this article
Being around tobacco smoke is bad for you, even if it's someone else's smoke.
When someone smokes a cigarette, most of the smoke doesn't go into their lungs. It goes into the air, where anyone nearby can breathe it.

10 Persistent Myths About Smoking
Smoking in America is down -- but not out. Today, 20% of U.S. adults are smokers, compared to 45% in 1965, when smoking was at its peak. But even at the current level of tobacco use, an estimated 440,000 Americans per year lose their lives to lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, or other smoking-related illnesses. On average, smokers die 14 years before nonsmokers, and half of all smokers who don't quit are killed by their habit. People start smoking for many reasons. Many continue to puff...
Read the 10 Persistent Myths About Smoking article > >
Smoking is banned in many public places. But many people are still exposed to secondhand smoke, especially children who live with parents who smoke. Even people who try to be careful about where they light up may not protect those around them.
What Is Secondhand Smoke?
It can come from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe. Tobacco smoke has more than 4,000 chemical compounds, at least 250 are known to cause disease.
Secondhand smoke makes you more likely to get lung cancer and many other types of cancer. It's also bad for your heart.
Every year in the U.S., secondhand smoke causes about 34,000 deaths from heart disease and 7,300 deaths from lung cancer, the CDC says.
Smoke makes your blood stickier, raises your "bad" LDL cholesterol, and damages the lining of your blood vessels. Eventually, these changes can make you more likely to have a heart attack or stroke.
Dangers for Children
Kids are particularly at risk for the effects of secondhand smoke because their bodies are still growing and they breathe at a faster rate than adults.
These conditions have been linked to secondhand smoke exposure in children:
- Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
- More respiratory infections (such as bronchitis and pneumonia)
- More severe and frequent asthma attacks
- Ear infections
- Chronic cough
Smoking during pregnancy is especially dangerous to the developing baby. It's tied to premature delivery, low birth weight, SIDS, limited mental ability, trouble with learning, and ADHD. The more cigarettes a mother-to-be smokes, the greater the danger to her baby.
How to Avoid Secondhand Smoke
It's simple: Avoid being around people who are smoking, and try to convince those around you who smoke to quit. Anyone who does smoke should do so outside, as far away from other people as possible.
Your home is probably the most important place to keep smoke-free, especially if you have children. Keeping kids (and adults) far away from smoke can help lower their chances of having respiratory infections, severe asthma, cancer, and many other serious conditions.

With the World Cup in Brazil just one a year away, all eyes will be on Brazil over the next fortnight as they stage the official dress rehearsal – the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup – and every match is live on the BBC from June 15-30.
The quadrennial tournament features the six international confederation champions, along with the current World Cup holders and its next host nation.
Six of the stadiums set to be used for next year's World Cup, including the rebuilt Estádio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, will stage the tournament.
The focus of the footballing world will be on Brazil with the nation's readiness to host next year's championship under considerable scrutiny.
Their fortunes on the pitch are also a source of great intrigue with a succession of underwhelming friendly results doing serious damage to Brazil's FIFA World Ranking.
However, they come into the Confederations Cup with a bit of momentum having finally recorded their first victory over opponents of stature this year beating France 3-0 in Belo Horizonte on Sunday.
The Confederations Cup sees the following year's World Cup hosts take on the various continental champions and the World Cup holders.
With Spain holding both the World and European titles, Euro 2012 runners-up Italy take the European berth.
Spain bring a strong squad and will be hoping to win the Confederations Cup for the first time, having lost to the United States in the semi finals in 2009.
Midfielder Xabi Alonso is absent with injury but forward David Villa, who missed Euro 2012, returns to tournament action.
Japan, Mexico and Italy provide the opposition for the hosts in what promises to be a very competitive Group A.
Japan became the first team to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in early June with a 1-1 draw against Australia but Mexico are struggling in the 'Hex' competition in North America having developed a penchant for 0-0 draws.
In Group B, Spain will face Uruguay, Tahiti and Nigeria. With Spain favourites to top the table, the match between the Copa América holders and Africa Cup of Nations winners is set to be the key contest in the group.
Uruguay will go into the tournament with renewed optimism following a massive win in Venezuela in the World Cup Eliminatorias which revives their flagging hopes of reaching the big one next year.
Forwards Edinson Cavani, Luis Suárez and Diego Forlán lend a touch of stardust to the squad.
Nigeria are beset by injuries, with forwards Emmanuel Emenike, Kalu Uche and Victor Moses all absent but other big names such as Obafemi Martins, Taye Taiwo, Peter Odemwingie, Joseph Yobo and Haruna Lukman have all been left out of the squad.
Little is expected of Tahiti, surprise winners of last year's Oceania Nations Cup after New Zealand suffered a shock semi-final defeat to New Caledonia, except perhaps the tumbling of records for goals conceded.
They lost their warm-up friendly 7-0 to a Chile U20 side and Nigeria are as ungenerous as twenty-to-one 'on' with one bookmaker to defeat them in their first match on Monday evening.
Some of the world's best footballers will descend on Brazil as they compete over 16 matches and six different venues to give football fans across the world a glimpse of what Brazil 2014 will be like.
From world champions Spain to the use of goal-line technology, the romance of Tahiti's involvement to questions over Brazil's readiness to stage the biggest football tournament in the world, the 2013 Confederations Cup looks set to provide plenty of talking points.
Preview by Mike Martin – @thefootietweet
The BBC are bringing out their big guns for its coverage of the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.
With live football increasingly rare on the public service broadcaster, Match of the Day fans will be served up a treat over the next fortnight.
All 16 games will air on TV across BBC One, BBC Three and BBC Red Button, plus live online coverage of each match via the BBC Sport website.
Gary Lineker will lead the presenting team for key games during the tournament, including both semi-finals and the final on June 30.
Mark Chapman and Dan Walker will also present selected games, with studio analysis coming from BBC regulars Alan Hansen, Alan Shearer, Pat Nevin and Robbie Savage and Dion Dublin.
Former Uruguay forward Gus Poyet and ex-Nigeria midfielder Sunday Oliseh will also be part of the studio punditry team.
Senior Match of the Day commentators Guy Mowbray, Jonathan Pearce and Steve Wilson will be jetting out to Brazil to share commentary duties on all 16 games.
Alongside them will be Mark Lawrenson, Martin Keown and TV co-commentary newcomer Kevin Kilbane, who has been a regular summariser on Radio 5 live in recent years.
The Confederations Cup will be one of the first sporting events to be aired on the BBC's new Red Button HD stream, which allows viewers to see matches on BBC Three and BBC Red Button in crystal clear high-definition.
BBC Red Button HD is on Freeview HD channel 303 and is also available on Sky HD and Freesat. The service will also be used during Wimbledon and Glastonbury Festival.
Live online streaming of each match, as well as text commentaries, highlights and reports, can be found via the BBC Sport website.
The Confederations Cup is being held exactly one year before the staging of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, which BBC TV will also be covering.

Leave Without Pay
Leave without pay may be granted to a permanent or probationary full- or part-time employee for various reasons, including family and medical leave, extended educational purposes, vacation, worker's compensation, or personal reasons.
Special provisions for leave without pay for military, family and medical, and workers' compensation are covered in their respective policies.
- Who's Eligible?
- Terms and Definitions
- Extended Illness
- Rights and Responsibilities
- Continuation of Benefits
- Guiding Policies and Other Resources
Who's Eligible?
Permanent or probationary full-or part-time employees are covered by the leave without pay policy. Temporary, intermittent, or part-time (less than half-time) employees are not eligible for leave without pay.
Terms and Definitions
Extended Leave without Pay - Leave in excess of one-half the workdays and holidays in the month or in the pay period (whichever is applicable).
Short Leave Without Pay - Leave for less than one-half the workdays and holidays in the month or in the pay period (whichever is applicable).
Maximum Amount - Except for extended illness, extended leave without pay normally does not exceed 6 months. The Agency Head is responsible for the decision to grant leave without pay and the amount of time granted, except for leave required by the FMLA Policy.
Extended Illness
When an employee has a personal illness, the agency must consider the following.
- Does the need for leave qualify as Family and Medical Leave? If so, the rules of that policy shall be applied first.
- Is the illness likely to result in participation in the Disability Income Plan?
- Does the employee qualify for Voluntary Shared Leave?
Taking these into consideration, the agency should explain these policies to the employee and assist in determining which are applicable.
How Do I Apply
You must submit a written request for Leave Without Pay to your supervisor including:
- Reason for leave
- Date expected for beginning leave
- Duration of leave
- Expected date to return to work
In addition, you need to:
- Notify your supervisor immediately if the conditions of the leave change
- Notify your supervisor of your intent to return 30 days prior to the expected date of the return
Note: If you do not give notice of the intention to return, the agency is not required to provide reinstatement, but may do so if feasible. Failure to report at the expiration of a leave, unless an extension has been requested and approved, may be considered as a resignation.
Supervisors / Authorized Personnel Reps Should
Supervisors review requests and approve/disapprove in writing. The supervisor must consider a number of factors when determining whether to grant leave without pay and the amount of time to approve:
- Needs of the employee requesting leave
- Workload
- Need for filling employee's job
- Chances of employee returning to duty
- The obligation of the agency to reinstate employee to a position of like status and pay
Note: It is the responsibility of the agency to administer leave without pay in a manner that is equitable to all its employee.
Continuation of Benefits
While on leave without pay, an employee may select Continuation of Benefits (pdf) by paying the full premium for coverage. Some benefits cannot be continued, including
- Accumulation of Vacation and Sick Leave
- Retirement Contributions
- Supplemental Retirement, 401(k)
- Retirement Annuity, 403(b) and 457
Note: Although approval of the use of vacation leave is discretionary, requests by an employee to use vacation leave for cultural and/or ethnic-related events should be granted if the employee has accrued vacation leave and the granting of the leave will not result in undue hardship on the agency or its employees.

Weather Journal: Winter Temperatures Return
Well, that's it.
Greater New York has completed what may amount to the last two relatively warm days of autumn with near-record highs.
And now, it's head-long back into winter.
Temperatures across the region will plummet about 20 degrees on Tuesday as a strong cold front moves across the eastern United States. Highs in the tri-state should technically occur in the upper 40s sometime shortly after midnight, and temperatures will drop all the way back into the 30s by nightfall. Some cold rain may also be possible, though accumulations shouldn't be more than a quarter inch or so and should be concentrated mainly in the morning hours. Basically, it will feel much, much colder than it did on Sunday and Monday.
A foggy, drizzly morning will give way to a blustery late-fall day on Tuesday, with wind gusts as high as 25mph. Areas north of the city will have a better chance at cold rain and will cool much more drastically, with parts of the Hudson Valley dipping into the lower 20s by Tuesday night. By Wednesday morning, stable high pressure behind the front will begin to lock in cold and dry weather for the rest of the week.
Looking ahead to the week of Thanksgiving, both major forecast models continue to show the possibility of a coastal storm affecting Greater New York sometime between Monday and Tuesday, but agreement on details is very low. Models have trended a bit further offshore during the day on Monday, which would reduce the strength of the winds as well as total precipitation amounts, but could increase relative chances of that precipitation falling as snow rather than rain.
Even if temperatures run near-normal for the rest of the month (which they probably won't), the exceptionally cold weather that has hit the region so far in November has put the month on track to become the third-coldest November in the last 30 years in New York City and the coldest since 1996. Central Park's twelve-day stretch of post-Sandy below average temperatures was the city's longest such stretch since an eleven-day cold stretch from March 23 to April 2, 2011. November 2012 in New York City will likely be the coldest month relative to its long-term average since December 2010, when the record-setting Boxing Day Blizzard occurred.
Still, Greater New York continues on a record-setting pace for warmth overall in 2012. Of the 20 warmest 12-month periods in Greater New York since 1895, 10 of them have ended in 2012. All 20 have occurred since 2002. As I wrote on Sunday, human-induced climate change may be helping to stack the odds in favor of more commonly occurring extreme weather in the tri-state, whether it be heat, cold, snow, or hurricane.
National Weather Service announces Sandy service review
For major weather events, the National Weather Service has a tradition of conducting a self-review of forecasts, communications, and outreach via a "service assessment." The leader of those assessments are generally National Weather Service staffers from an unrelated part of the bureaucracy (for example, a meteorologist from Duluth may review a tornado outbreak in Texas). This time, the National Weather Service has taken the rare step to go outside its ranks by bringing in a well-known harsh critic to look into the nuts-and-bolts of how the weather service might improve and learn from what took place during Sandy.
Mike Smith, a senior vice president at AccuWeather, was appointed on Monday to head the panel, which will look into everything from forecast accuracy to public warnings to the structure of the weather service itself. His team will recommend changes that could help the country better prepare for future hybrid superstorms that transcend the regular bounds of hurricane status, just as Sandy did.
From Smith's personal blog post on Nov. 2, he writes his top questions for the National Weather Service to look into, in light of Sandy:
"Its decision not to issue a hurricane warning as a hurricane was approaching the coast was, in my opinion, disastrous. That is just my opinion. We need objective facts.
To what extent did this decision influence Mayor Bloomberg and others to delay evacuations and/or make the evacuations less extensive than they should have been?
Did this decision contribute to the drownings on Staten Island and elsewhere when the hurricane's storm surge overtook the island and the coastline?
What was Sandy's real intensity? At least three independent meteorologists have come to the conclusion it was category 2 before landfall. I believe they may be right. The NWS has a long history of "adjusting" hurricane intensities after the fact (Hurricane Andrew, that many of us believed was a Cat 5 at the time, wasn't named a Cat 5 by the NWS until the tenth anniversary of the storm). This does not inspire confidence we are getting the accurate story now.
We have made relatively little progress in forecasting hurricane intensity. Is it time for a different approach to that problem?"
As you can tell, despite an excellent job forecasting during Sandy, it looks like the National Weather Service is interested in taking a long, hard look at how it wants to interface with the general public, emergency managers, and its own hurricane forecasting apparatus — and it has gone for an independent third party to lead its review team. I'll be looking forward to reading this report.
In the meantime, if you have any suggestions for Smith's assessment team, he has invited comments and suggestions on his blog.

It was easy to modify text and change wording to keep uniformity among the invitations. We chose to do three snapshots at different points in time. The senior picture was in the bottom square and the younger versions in the top two squares. Received numerous compliments on clarity and originality from our invited guests. Square corners actually looked amazing as well. The modified rectangular envelopes were perfect for housing the invitations."

Ira Glass Interview
by Patrick McGavin Tuesday, September 4th, 2012 1:03pm
Ira Glass, the celebrated producer award-winning journalist of the NPR broadcast program This American Life, has always been a hybrid artist. Now, he has made a triumphant shift to filmmaking as a co-writer and producer of actor and stand-up comedian Mike Birbiglia's Sleepwalking with Me.
During a whirlwind visit where he hosted a series of sold-out shows at the theatre, Glass talked about the genesis of the product.
What were the great challenges in conceiving this material as a movie?
Ira Glass: There were several changes that were fundamental. When Mike told the story on stage of the true story of what happened, what happened didn't have the structure you need for a movie. In real life, Mike had been sleepwalking since the time he was a teenager. In a movie, you'd want to show the very first sleepwalking incident. In real life, he jumped through a plate glass window while sleep walking and almost died.
I told him, 'I never made a movie, but I've been to the movies.' In the movies, if you do something and you almost die, you have to learn something from it. In the one-man show, there wasn't much about him becoming a stand-up comedian and that's something we really invented with the movie. Truthfully, watching the film now, I really feel like the most successful part of the film is the stuff we completely invented.
What was the chronology of your interest in his story. You heard about him and you produced a piece on your show [in 2008, called Fear of Sleep].
Ira Glass: He didn't develop it with us. He started to tell the story on stage and he recorded it and somebody thought, 'It'd be perfect for This American Life and sent it to our senior producer. I think the thing that made it so perfect was that it was a story that had some darkness but it was also very funny. The situation that Mike's in, he's in his twenties, he doesn't know what he's going to do with his life, he's got to get it together. He's a lost soul who's supposed to turn himself into an adult but hasn't yet. There's something easily relatable about it and have this surprising and spectacular thing with the sleepwalking and then also this weirdly specific world of trying to be a stand-up comedian.
Did it always strike you as something that could be made into a film?
Ira Glass: I didn't think that until we figured out the structural problems. There's a point in the movie, about two-thirds through, where he does something he shouldn't, he's the hero of the story and we're supposed to care about him, and his real story was playing out as a movie. There was also the incidents of the sleepwalking, and I knew that could be super visual and rendered in really cinematic way. On stage, when he talks about his girlfriend [played by Lauren Ambrose in the movie] in an affectionate way, it made the relationship seem real.
Up until the last week of editing, we were struggling to find a way to make the relationship real. We'd show the rough cut to people, and nobody bought the relationship. It didn't seem like a real relationship. We didn't know how to do it, we weren't good enough screenwriters. We did all kinds of things to fix it and shore it up.
Mike's stories seem very much of a piece, a Don Quixote quality about dreamers and mavericks who go against the tide and want their stories told.
Ira Glass: As producers, we have tendency in ourselves to go towards these kind of stories. We have a lot of stories about somebody who's got some dream or goal. That is a kind of story I'm attracted to. I think the reason why is because we're often confronted, as reporter, with telling stories, or exposing people that are believed to be fakes or phonies. I was working on a story, about a judge in Georgia [a prize-winning piece called "Very Tough Love"], and I kept thinking while I was doing it, This is not my usual gig.
Typically, I follow somebody who's kind of normal who's on a quest, it gives you the pleasure of watching what the quest is and then getting tested. It's a fun kind of thing to watch go through.
At the beginning, Mike wasn't a subject. He was a contributor, he was telling stories about himself. We didn't have funding and he had an idea. I want to make this film. This was last year, and he said, we don't have funding, but we have to shoot by the summer in order to meet the deadline to get into Sundance [in January, 2012], and I've cleared my touring schedule. He said, if we're going to start shooting in the summer, we have to start hiring a crew. He just started hiring them, out of his own savings. He said, I will not accept no. He just started spending money. We got financing, hired a line producer and started scouting locations.
Once we shot the film and showed it to people and learned that it was bad, he wouldn't accept it. There were things we took out of the film that he was very analytic in saying, This is killing us right here, stuff that I thought was fun to watch.
At our level, that was very difficult. The stage show was getting laughs where the film isn't and it's the same material. He said, 'I think what's going on is, in the stage show, I'm the present talking about this thing that happened in the past and so you know it all worked out.' It was a kind of tragedy for plus time equals comedy thing. He completely re-shot the narration. Then suddenly, when the story became the present with him talking about something that happened in the past, the film got laughs.
How has your relationship evolved since you first became aware of each other?
Ira Glass: I know him as well as I know anybody. I feel like after this experience we're brothers. I feel like, I know every mood he has, backwards and forwards and he's completely all true. There's this other part of him that just not going to accept defeat. I remember when he was on the radio show. I remember saying to people, 'That guy is going to be more famous than any of us.' He had an air, in a very friendly way, of I'm going places.
In many ways, this is such an unlikely thing. Most filmmakers never get their movie made. He did a one-man show, and he said, I'm going to make this into a movie. Three years later, it's a movie.

In 1999, Fort Riley completed its survey of 100% of the installation for historic sites. Fifty percent of the total acreage (undeveloped areas) was also surveyed for prehistoric sites. In 1999, reconnaissance surveys were conducted on Timber and Madison Creeks. As a result of these surveys, 565 historic farmsteads, and 216 prehistoric and 118 historic military sites were discovered.
The installation has evaluated 93 historic farmsteads for eligibility on the NRHP, using DC resistivity to perform part of these evaluations. This technology will be used to evaluate most of the remaining sites for eligibility. Fort Riley also plans to conduct a paleontological resources survey in FY 2000.

Transitory pulmonary infiltrations associated with eosinophilia of the peripheral blood has been described as an allergic reaction ocurring principally in persons with parasitic disease such as amebiasis, trichinosis, ascariasis and cutaneous helminthiasis.1 This condition, usually referred to as Loeffler's syndrome, is somewhat variable in its course and severity, but is generally characterized by relatively mild clinical symptoms, which include fever, paroxysmal cough with sputum containing eosinophils, slight to moderate leukocytosis with eosinophilia and migratory pulmonary infiltrations evident roentgenographically.2
A plausible theory of the mechanism involved in Loeffler's syndrome is that the vascular system becomes hypersensitized to an extrinsic allergen and that the small blood vessels and capillaries of the lungs act as one of the shock structures. The damage to these vessels causes increased permeability of their walls, resulting in the pulmonary infiltrations.3
We have recently observed 2 patients with allergic reactions to penicillin in oil and

Why the heck isnt there a tennis thread?! Well there is now!
Lets get right to it. Imma fed man. Hate rafa, like novak and am warming to Andy.
We all know that Fed is the GOAT, but he cant go on for much longer. Can he??
Rafa might not be the same player after all his knee injuries. Will he?
So that just leaves Andy (and he will win more GS's) and Novak. The rest outside of the top for are just not in the same echelon as the others.
I didnt want Andy to win last night, but he did and i cant take take that away from him. It has been coming for ages now. He is good as anyone else in the top 4 and beat a champion, one of the best, on his favourite surface to take his 1st title. When he won the gold, i was like meh, fed gave up, its not a GS so it dont count!
Dont really watch womens tennis, but Serena Williams, might not be everyone cups of tea, but she is defo the female GOAT.

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
All output is placed in file SHA1SUMS which you can later check with 'sha1sum --check'. Works on most Linux distros where 'sha1sum' is installed.
There is 1 alternative - vote for the best!
List files and pass to openssl to calculate the hash for each file.
Alternative command for performing an sha1 hash for a given set of files matched by a wildcard
If you can do better, submit your command here.
I believe in bash this will append the output of the find command to SHA1SUMS rather than each invocation of sha1sums appending to the file (-exec doesn't use a shell to run sha1sums). Here the result is the same either way but worth mentioning.
Sorry, but I disagree. I just ran it and the SHA1SUMS file contains a list of files with their SHA1 hashes...same as 'md5sum'. Within 'find', everything up to the "\;" is used as the command to execute. Per the 'man find' page:
"All following arguments to find are taken to be
arguments to the command until an argument
consisting of ?;? is encountered."
HOWEVER, the man page does state the behavior of {} in find is different in other flavors of 'find'. So there are probably other differences with other flavors as well.

This is not our place but it looks a bit like this:
Our style is very modern, clean lines, dark wood, dark fabric with splashes of color. Much like this:
Which I love and goes so well with our loft, especially because we have concrete ceilings and floors. But one thing that I've always told J is when we get a house, I'm going to have one room and just make it my girly glam room. I'm talking like beautiful glass chandelier hanging in the middle of the room, gorgeous drapes, a place for all my make up, shoes and handbags. I'm not talking about just a closet, I want it to be like a closet but also a really awesome room for me to hang out in and watch TV, have a glass of wine, read a book, my own personal lovely space. When I saw this post on Life in a Venti Cup it reaffirmed the notion that I really NEED a place like this of my own.
Her closet reminds me of another favorite of mine...my dream shoe closet:
which led me to these other celebs fab closets:
Eva Longoria
I like the ladder. A must have for all us shorties.

A financial aid award is made up of of several components which may include grants and/or scholarships, loan, and work. A student may accept or reject each component of the award. Brief descriptions of the programs available at St. John's are provided below.
St. John's Grants: Funds for these grants are provided by the college from its own resources. They are awarded on the basis of financial need as determined by the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Much of the funding for St. John's grants is provided by endowment funds and annual gifts to the college. Recipients of these grants are asked to write a note of appreciation to the appropriate donor.
Federal Pell Grant: This grant program is funded by the Federal Government. Awards are based on eligibility as determined by the FAFSA. The family's federal expected contribution must fall below a certain threshold to qualify for a Pell Grant.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG): The Federal Government allocates a limited amount of SEOG funds to the college. To be eligible to receive SEOG, a student must be receiving the Federal Pell Grant.
New Mexico State Incentive Grants: These grants were created to provide aid for undergraduate students with substantial financial need. This need-based award varies from $200 to $2,500 per year. Part-time students are eligible for pro-rated awards.
Maryland State Scholarships: Maryland residents must file the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA by March 1 to be considered for various state scholarships.
Other State Scholarships: Residents of other states should check with their state higher education commission regarding eligibility and deadlines (www.ed.gov/Programs/bastmp/SHEA.htm).
Merit aid is offered at St. John's College to those students who, based on their high school records, application essays, and other information, show academic promise for this distinctive education. The college awards generous merit scholarships of varying amounts, up to $23,000. There is no separate application process for merit aid—a student's eligibility is determined as part of the application for admission and students are notified of a scholarship offer with their acceptance. Students will be considered for such scholarships regardless of their eligibility for need-based financial aid. Merit scholarships are granted for four years, provided the student makes satisfactory progress toward graduation.
Federal Work-Study (FWS): The Federal Work-Study program is a need-based financial aid program that provides jobs for students. The work-study award shown on the aid notice represents the maximum a student may earn under the program. It is based on 10 hours per week during the academic year. Students receive a paycheck every two weeks for the number of hours actually worked. This money can be used for books, personal, and other educational expenses. It is not applied directly to the tuition bill. Approximately 180 students are employed on each campus through the FWS program. If a student chooses not to work, or works less than ten hours a week, he or she must meet expenses from other resources. Work-study funds are limited and some students may be placed on a work-study wait list.
New Mexico Work-Study Program was created to provide funding for employment opportunities. The award varies depending upon the needs of the student and the availability of funds.
Off-Campus Employment and the Career Services Office: Many students work off campus in order to earn funds for educational expenses. We find that most students are able to work up to ten hours a week without that schedule interfering with their academic work. The Career Services Office helps students find employment in the community. It maintains listings for regular part-time jobs and for jobs one may take on a more sporadic basis, such as babysitting, house cleaning, gardening, tutoring, etc.
Federal Subsidized Direct Loan: This program enables a student to borrow funds from the Department of Education. The Funding Education Beyond High School: The Guide to Federal Student Aid describes the Federal Direct Loan program (www.direct.ed.gov). The basic terms of subsidized Direct Loans are as follows:
Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan: Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans are not based upon financial need. Consequently, these loans require borrowers to pay interest on their loans while in school. Dependent students may borrow up to $2,000 per year. Independent students may borrow up to $6000 per year (for freshmen and sophomores) or $7,000 per year (for juniors and seniors) on an unsubsidized basis in addition to their subsidized loan eligibility. The same origination fee applies that is listed for the subsidized loans. Interest is charged from the date of disbursement on unsubsidized loans. Payments may be deferred during enrollment but interest will accrue.
Federal Perkins Loans: This is a federally funded loan program for students who demonstrate high financial need. While the borrower is enrolled as at least a half-time student, no interest accrues and no payment is required. The student must sign a Promissory Note before funds are disbursed. Funds are disbursed in two installments, half each semester. Borrowers have a nine-month grace period after they leave school during which payments are deferred. During the payment period the student is charged 5% interest on the outstanding principal.
Scofield Loans (Annapolis Campus Only): This is an institutional loan program offered only at the Annapolis campus. It offers no-interest loans to students who have special financial needs which cannot be met through other sources, or who meet other criteria established by the college. Funds are disbursed half each semester. Repayment begins six months after graduation, and can be deferred for graduate study.
St. John's College Loans (Santa Fe Campus Only): The loans are primarily available to International students. Funds are disbursed half each semester. Repayment begins six months after graduation and deferrable only while enrolled at St. John's College.
Federal PLUS Loans: Parents may borrow up to the full cost of education through the Federal PLUS Loan Program. For loans borrowed after 7/01/15, the interest rate is fixed at 6.84%. Loans are available through the Department of Education. PLUS requires a credit history review, but no debt-to-income assessment. This program carries a 4.272% origination fee. The funds are disbursed in two installments. Interest accrues from the first date of disbursement, and repayment begins when the full loan has been disbursed. Deferment options may be available.
Other Private Loans: Many lenders offer private loans to supplement the family's other resources. In general these programs have higher interest rates than the federal programs. Borrowers must be credit-worthy. Students may borrow private loans, but will require a credit-worthy co-signer. Interest begins to accrue on these loans when they are disbursed.
New Mexico residents accepted to the Santa Fe campus receive an additional $7,500 grant award ($30,000 over four years) beyond any need-based grant. This grant replaces self-help (loans and work study) for students who receive need-based awards or serves as a tuition discount for those not applying for financial aid. Since the New Mexico state lottery scholarship is not available for private colleges, St. John's has made institutional funds available in order to better and more fairly serve residents of our home state.
Check outside scholarship opportunities annually. Free scholarship searches are available on the web through www.fastweb.com or www.finaid.org. Students should report receipt of outside/private scholarships to the Financial Aid Office as early as possible. This may cause a change in the financial aid award.
Follow the Annapolis Financial Aid office on Facebook for more information.
