Bevin ended a 388 minute team scoring drought with his goal in the fourth minute of the match to give WVU the 1-0 lead. The goal was the first of the year for Bevin, who scored seven in 2011. Bevin then assisted on the final goal of the game to fellow New Zealander Craig Stephens.

The Oscar-winning Argo actor-director joyfully received an honorary doctor of fine arts degree from Brown University on Sunday, and remarked – comically and sincerely – on why it was so special to him.
"This is a spectacular honor for me. Among other things today, in terms of higher education, I passed Matt Damon," he said to rapturous applause in Providence, R.I.
As undergraduates, Damon, 42, attended Harvard University but did not graduate, while Affleck, 40, lasted just one semester at the University of Vermont. Affleck is technically correct that he has now surpassed his Good Will Hunting co-writer in terms of degrees, although Damon did receive the Harvard Arts Medal this year.
Affleck went on to dedicate his Brown degree to his mother Christine, who was in the crowd on Sunday. "This means a lot to her," he said. "She never got to see me graduate from any higher education at all. So, Mom, this is for you. I love you."
Along with a proud mom and a possibly envious friend, Affleck said the honorary degree also left behind one confused daughter.
"My daughter's 7," he said of Violet. "She said, 'Why are you doing that, Dad? You went to no classes and did no homework.' "

Ph.D. in Geo-Engineering
- More Info: Visit the general course catalog
Program Contact Info
Graduate Director:
Dr. Robert Watters
(775) 784-6069
The Geological Engineering faculty of the Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering, along with the Department of Mining Engineering, offer an interdisciplinary Ph.D. degree in geo-engineering. Applications for this program may be submitted to either department. A broad range of dissertation research topics is envisioned for students from the Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering including soil and rock slope stability, rock mechanics, geologic fracture mechanics, volcano hazards, urban geo-engineering, aerospace remote sensing, pure and applied geomathematics/geostatistics, and planetary geomechanics.
Fields of Specialization
- applied geophysics
- geologic hazards
- geomechanics
- geostatistics
- hydrogeology
- industrial minerals
- neotectonics
- paleoseismology
- planetary geology
- remote sensing
- rock fracture mechanics
- rock slope instability processes
- rock mass characterization and design
- structural analysis
- structural geology
- tectonics
- waste containment
Prospective applicants should have a degree in any branch of the geological sciences, physical sciences or engineering. Degree requirements for this program are listed in the Graduate School section of this catalog; contact either department office or the geological engineering faculty for more details.
The Ph.D. degree requires 73 credits including 1 credit of comprehensive examination. The comprehensive examination credit cannot be used to fulfill the 30 credits of required 700-level course work.
Students must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university to be accepted as a graduate student. For full graduate standing, at least 30 credits of undergraduate work in geology and/or related fields must have been completed.
To be considered for admission, students must meet the following minimum university requirements:
- Grade-point average (GPA): Four-year undergraduate GPA of 2.75 for applicants to a M.S. degree program, or 3.0 GPA for a Ph.D. degree program.
- Minimum TOEFL score (if applicable): 550, with scores sent directly to the university. Note that 600 is recommended because students below a 600 must then pass a bridge test upon entering the university.
Additional Requirements
For admission to the Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering, prospective students must also submit the following:
- Graduate Record Examination (GRE): Combined score of 1200 or higher in the verbal and quantitative sections (V + Q ≥ 1200) — sent directly to the UNR Graduate School, with unofficial copies also sent separately to the Department
- Three letters of recommendation certifying ability to perform graduate-level work at the desired level (M.S. or Ph.D.) — sent directly to the Department
- A two page personal statement of interest stating why UNR is their school of choice, why they wish to pursue the desired degree (M.S. or Ph.D.), and what specialties and/or faculty the applicant is interested in — sent directly to the Department
- Copies of transcripts and TOEFL scores (if applicable) — sent directly to the Department
The Admissions Committee gives comparable weight to each item submitted as part of the application package so an applicant will not be denied admission based solely on his/her GPA or GRE scores. It is advisable for applicants to contact prospective faculty advisors to discuss their interests prior to applying. A physical visit to UNR to see the Department and meet with the prospective faculty advisor can also be critical to a successful application for graduate study.
Application Deadlines and Addresses
For fall semester admission, complete applications (i.e., the items listed above) must be received by the Department no later than January 1st; for spring semester admission, completed applications must be received by the Department no later than September 15. GRE scores and official transcripts are sent directly to the UNR Graduate School to arrive there well before these stated deadlines; the applicant's personal statement and letters of recommendation are to be sent by these deadlines to:
Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering/172
Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering
University of Nevada, Reno
Reno, NV 89557
Phone: (775) 784-6050
Fax: (775) 784-1833
Email: email@example.com

Today is college football's National Signing Day. It has become one of the biggest days of the year for college football fans, and more importantly, for football programs. Think about it: In one day you get 20-25 players who will form the future of your program.
Congratulations to Evans High School head basketball coach Kevin Kenny. On Tuesday night the Knights topped Grovetown 58-45 to improve to 18-4 on the season, and for Kenny it was a major milestone: career win No. 300.
It might seem hard to believe, but baseball season is here, and many college programs get their season started this weekend.
Last week, the Peach Belt Conference announced its 2013 Pre-Season All Conference baseball team, which is voted on by the league's coaches. Former Lakeside High School standout Jeffrey Stoner was selected to the squad. The 6-4, 230 pound junior has had two sensational seasons for Francis Marion University. As a freshman, Stoner went 9-0 on the mound in 15 appearances with a 2.40 ERA. He was named First Team All-Conference for his efforts.
Greenbrier and Evans high school girls basketball teams have surged to the top of the region standing with 3-1 marks in region play. The two squads have split their two meetings this season, which makes their contest Friday, Feb. 1, huge in terms of a possible region title.
This past Thursday, I was honored to serve as master of ceremonies for The Augusta Chronicle All-Area Football Awards banquet. What a special night. In addition to honoring high school players from all over the Augusta area, three new members were inducted into the American Football Kicking Hall of Fame, and Louisiana Tech punter Ryan Allen was presented the Ray Guy Award as the nation's top collegiate punter.
Former Evans High School standout Buddy Holder is the new head football coach at Effingham County.
Yes, that Effingham County.
Back in 1987, Holder, the oldest son of legendary Columbia County coach Terry Holder, was a starting lineman for the Knights' unbeaten team, which played at Effingham County in the state quarterfinals. Evans won 12-10, but was forced to forfeit after a protest from Effingham.
The other day I saw a post on Facebook by former Greenbrier High School football standout Ryan Bowers. Bowers, who owns AthElite Sports Training Academy, said he was working out Bryan Andrews in preparation for a combine.
Columbia County had another tremendous year in high school softball. Harlem and Greenbrier thrilled their fans with deep post-season runs that saw both finish in the Top 5 in the state in their respective classifications.
Harlem's freshman sensation Amber Garrett was dominant on the mound during the Bulldogs' terrific playoff showing, while Greenbrier's Taylor Dupree emerged as one of the finest players in the Southeast. In addition, there were several other talented performers who shined in 2012.
Softball – First Team All County
With region play getting cranked up this week, several teams put the finishing touches on their non-region schedule over the weekend. Here is a look at a few teams and players who made some noise.
Augusta Christian boys
The Evans High School basketball team started the season 2-0 before dropping three of its next six games. Since then, coach Kevin Kenny has the Knights back on track and riding a six-game winning streak heading into region play.
The final victory in that run was a very convincing 62-44 win over a pesky bunch from Grovetown High School in the championship game of the Monterrey Christmas Tournament. Damian Foreman paced the Knights with 23 points. With the victory, Evans improves to 11-3 on the season.

JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
More than 400 hundred bicycles have arrived at Fort Lewis College and not a single one is accompanied by a world-class cyclist � or any cyclist for that matter.
No, these bikes are yours, mine and just about everyone else�s in Durango, reclaimed from garages, backyards and even Dumpsters. Under Jacqueline Hess� care, these bikes and miscellaneous parts have been reconstituted into the featured artwork for the USA Pro Cycling Challenge Gala on Saturday night.
Hess, a recent graduate from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, spent the last month scouring Durango for bike parts � chains, wheels, spokes, anything and everything that could be reused. From this, she has constructed two 20-foot oscillating panels to line the walls of the gala tent, nearly 30 iridescent chandeliers made of a thousand bike spokes and centerpieces for each table.
�Once you compile all (the parts) and give them an opportunity to be something else, it really looks cool,� Hess says.
Like most Durangoans, Hess loves bikes, but had never thought much about how they work until moving to Fort Collins. Almost immediately upon arriving at CSU, her bike was stolen. She bought a new ride, and it was quickly stolen as well. For Hess, there would be no charm; she refused to buy a third bicycle.
�I started doing the bike mechanic thing � finding parts that people throw away and building new bicycles,� Hess said. �I built eight bikes.�
�Through finding all these scrap parts, I started realizing how much people throw away,� she said.
During her search for materials this summer, Hess saw firsthand how the Durango community has come together to organize the USA Pro Cycling Challenge. And whether it was through a desire to clean out the garage or participate in the big event, Hess found an overwhelming number of people willing to donate used parts.
�(I like) bringing all these people together and (using) these thrown-away parts ... which can be aesthetically pleasing to look at, but could have just as easily been put in a trash can.�
Hess studied mechanical engineering with an emphasis on energy. She recently patented a design for a pneumatic harmonic drive for wind turbines.
�Efficiency and renewable energy is what I�m passionate about,� Hess said.
Though riding your bike to work every day can reduce your annual carbon-dioxide emissions by up to 1.9 tons, the manufacturing process of bicycles is typically not environmentally friendly. Many non-renewable fossil fuels are used in their production. So reusing old bicycle parts instead of trashing them can cut back on resources used to create new bikes.
Hess� bicycle art is symbolic of the power of reusing and recycling. Once the Pro Challenge leaves Durango, Hess� work will be installed permanently as one of the city�s many outdoor art pieces.

5 Movies That Made Huge Stars Quit Acting Forever
Every single movie actor who has been called "the greatest in the world" has appeared in at least one irredeemable turd. Daniel Day-Lewis did Nine. Marlon Brando did The Island of Dr. Moreau. Sasha Grey was in several episodes of Entourage. And so on. By now, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro have more terrible comedies on their IMDb profiles than Carrot Top. My point is: Good actors doing bad movies is nothing new. It's one of the unavoidable realities of the business, like having to wrestle a naked, fully erect Gary Busey while trying to enter the studio. You just accept it and try to have as much fun as you can.
That's why I think it's hilarious when a Hollywood icon is driven to retirement not by some intense drama where the director trapped him in the jungle and forced him to eat his own shit for a month to survive, but by a lighthearted little romp that wanted nothing but to entertain people (and make a few bucks). The following acting legends had the necessary mental fortitude to deal with the psychos and bloodsuckers of the film industry for decades, but in the end what finally broke them was something as silly as ...
#5. Richard Dreyfuss -- Silver City, then Poseidon
Warner Bros.
The Movies:
Silver City is a 2004 political comedy (more on this genre and era below) that shockingly failed to smash movie attendance records, possibly because it turns into a weird murder-thriller halfway through. Poseidon is a 2006 remake of The Poseidon Adventure, directed by Wolfgang Petersen, who presumably only hired respected thespian and Jaws star Richard Dreyfuss because he wanted to fool people into thinking this version included killer sharks. (It doesn't.)
Warner Bros.
I blame the fact that it underperformed at the box office entirely on that oversight.
The Fallout:
Dreyfuss' retirement lasted only a few years, and he has never blamed these movies in particular for getting him fed up with Hollywood. But let's look at the facts: Silver City had been out for less than a month when he said, "I want to do something else. I'll only live once, and I am 10 years out of the hospital or retirement home." It's not hard to imagine him watching the long, long 2 hours and 8 minutes this movie lasts and going, "Holy shit, I'm gonna die."
Dreyfuss wanted to do something worthwhile, so he went back to theater and scored a role in the musical version of The Producers. Finally, he felt alive again! No more of that Hollywood bullshit! What's that? You had no idea the guy from Close Encounters of the Third Kind could sing and dance? He can't, so he got fired. He says he "trolled for work" during this time (mostly on the IMDb message board for Mel Brooks, I'm guessing), but at least he still had his dignity. Then Wolfgang Petersen came along and asked him to drown that dignity in a big studio water tank, and Dreyfuss said sure.
Seriously, please check out this hilarious interview with him from when he was supposed to be promoting Poseidon:
He personally requested the color of his font for this interview.
In the same interview he also said, "The moment the film is over, I'm retired." I like to think he seriously thought he could give Hollywood another shot, and maybe he could find a way to find some joy in being part of these movies. Then he saw how Poseidon turned out and went "Nooooope, I'm out again."
Anyway, he's done 14 movies since then.
#4. Sean Connery -- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
20th Century Fox
The Movie:
(Yes, I know Cracked has mentioned before how this is Sean Connery's final movie, but we only told you half the story. Buckle up, because it's gonna get extraordinarily dumb.)
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, or LXG as they desperately tried to shorten it (because LEG would have sounded silly), is loosely based on an Alan Moore comic, itself loosely based on, like, 200 old novels. Connery teams up with gritty reboots of literary badasses like the Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, and, um, Dorian Gray, to stop Sherlock Holmes' nemesis, who is also the Phantom of the Opera. Oh, shit, that was a spoiler.
The Fallout:
When most people watched this completely run-of-the-mill action flick in 2003, they said, "Well, that was dumb," and instantly forgot about it. Connery, on the other hand, went, "Fuck everything. Fuck this world. I'm out."
"Sho long, shuckers."
As I said, Cracked has covered before how Connery just quit movies after this one, which he only agreed to do because he was bitter over turning down a part called "Gandalf" in a movie about midgets or some shit. What we didn't mention was that he turned down that role entirely because he didn't understand the script, a decision that cost him $450 million dollars -- the guy could have his own tropical island nation today if he had just asked someone else, "Hey, is this Tolkien guy any good?" But then the money gods who had favored him for so many decades pitied him and gave him another chance: They also offered him a role in The Matrix, though he hasn't confirmed which one.
20th Century Fox
I'm guessing Trinity?
Once again Connery couldn't make heads or tails of it and turned it down, and once again the movie went on to make big bucks. Try to put yourself in his confused, profoundly stupid (remember his "women deserve to be punched" rant?) frame of mind right now: He has apparently been randomly choosing roles for his entire career without having any concept of what makes a good movie, and it's always worked out for him (Highlander II aside), but his mystical luck suddenly runs out. He's on his own now. Then a deeply, deeply ridiculous script called LXG is floated by his desk, and he doesn't know what the fuck it's about either ... so he goes, "Where do I shign, my friendsh?" He seriously thought this was the one that would make sunny Santa Conneria a reality.
It didn't work out that way, obviously, so he tossed his hairpiece into the fire and moved back to Scotland. I know the accusation that Sean Connery is a moron who only became a film legend through dumb luck is kinda heavy, so I'll just leave with this: Since his retirement, one of the only two voice acting roles he has seen fit to lend his wonderful accent to is a CGI cartoon about a skateboarding veterinarian grandpa. I imagine he was majorly pissed off when it didn't outgross every Pixar movie ever.
#3. Gene Hackman -- Welcome to Mooseport
20th Century Fox
The Movie:
Gene Hackman is a former U.S. president who runs for mayor of a small town against a plumber played by Ray Romano. You can squarely date this movie to the mid-2000 decade because it was done during that brief window of time when people thought political comedies and Ray Romano were viable forms of entertainment. By the way, when you watch the trailer for this movie, one of the suggestions at the end is a video of Hackman being given an Oscar for The French Connection, which proves that YouTube has become sentient and developed a sarcastic sense of humor.
The Fallout:
Hackman has never specifically pointed at Welcome to Mooseport as the movie that made him retire, but come on. He flat out stopped after this one. No voice-over work. No Levitra ads. He just stopped. He said: "The compromises that you have to make in films are just part of the beast, and it had gotten to a point where I just didn't feel like I wanted to do it anymore."
20th Century Fox
Beast = Moose, clearly.
The fact that this revelation presumably hit him while working on a completely run-of-the-mill comedy with Ray Romano is the funniest thing about the movie. Picture grumpy old Gene Hackman sitting silently on a set while someone adjusts a picture of his face over the crotch of a nude man (that is an actual scene from the movie, but I'll spare you the screenshot). Ray Romano comes over, awkwardly displaying his teeth as in every single photo of him that exists, and says in his depressed Kermit voice: "Are you ready for the scene, Gene?" Hackman slowly turns his head. "No, Ray. I don't think I am." He walks off of the set, starts running, and never stops. They have to finish the movie with CGI. (That's how it went in my imagination, anyway.)
20th Century Fox
"What the fuck? What the fuck am I doing with my life?" (Also, I lied.)
Sure, Hackman was in his 70s by then, but he was still very active and in great shape, judging by that action montage from The Royal Tenenbaums. Before Welcome to Mooseport, he had done 90 movies in 40 years and five in 2001 alone. He was a hardened Hollywood veteran who still scared the shit out of everyone he worked with whose name wasn't Bill Murray. After Welcome to Mooseport, he didn't attend the premiere. He didn't do a single press junket. He dropped out of movie-making and never looked back. Hackman has spent the past 10 years sitting at home working on his novels, which make way less money than even a bit part in a movie, but at least you don't have to look at Ray Romano's face every day.

The saying goes, "Those can, do. Those who can't, teach."
In its new exhibition, the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Altoona proves that this old adage is just plain wrong.
SAMA shows off the talents of regional artists who have taken part in the museum's Artist-in-Residence program in the exhibit "Rostered Artists Revealed," which opens April 26 and will remain on view through Aug. 10.

"It's a nice way to showcase our artists' talent," said SAMA Education Coordinator Jessica Campbell.
"Typically, they're in the schools, working with the students and doing group projects. This is a nice opportunity to show their own personal work. This is just a nice 'thank you' for all the work they've done."
The "Rostered Artists Revealed" exhibit features 38 works in a variety of mediums from 16 artists who have worked with the Artist-in-Residence group.
Fact Box
If you go
What: "Rostered Artists Revealed"
When: April 26 through Aug. 10
Where: Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Altoona, 1210 11th Ave., Altoona
Museum hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday
SAMA-Altoona will host a Blue Monday reception for the exhibit from 6 to 8 p.m. May 20, featuring the music of Stormy. Tickets are $20 per person. There will be a Lunch a l'Art program at noon July 25 featuring rostered artists Jan Kinney and Ann Van Kuren. Tickets are $13 or $12 for SAMA members. Reservations can be made for both events by calling 946-7466
The Artist-in-Residence program - which SAMA has organized through its partnership with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts for the past 15 years - is described in a SAMA release as sending its roster of artists to "local public and private schools for residencies designed to provide students an opportunity to work directly with professional artists in a student/mentor relationship with mutual involvement in the creative process."
The artists - SAMA has 22 on its roster for the 2012-2013 school year - spend a minimum of 20 days in a school in the six-county coverage area of the program. The six counties are Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Fayette, Somerset and Westmoreland.
"They do demonstrations, but they also work hands-on with a core group of students," Campbell said. "I have some artists have been with us for 15 years, and I have some artists who have been with us for six months.
"It's not necessarily an easy job to do."
One of the artists who has been a mainstay of the program is Martha Murphy
of Friedens.
"I've been with SAMA, I think, for 15 years," the 48-year-old metalworker, sculptor and painter said. "I've done probably 120 residencies. I'm very lucky in that respect; I usually get between eight and 10 residencies a year."
Murphy says she'll teach the kids in whatever medium the school prefers.
"It really varies with every school," she explained. "I've gone into schools with absolutely no art programs, which I think is just criminal. ... I usually try to formulate myself into the curriculum. Most of the schools want that; they don't want something that doesn't fit into their curriculum."
Murphy - a professional artist since 1992 who has her own business, Waking Bear Studio - says she spends a lot more time in the schools than the required minimum of four hours per day. She works hard because so many of the children she works with have no "hands-on experience" with art.
"It is extremely rewarding," she said. "It's just amazing to me [within] how many kids you can see a lightbulb turn on. I always leave with new ideas, new concepts, new success stories. To me, my main goal is to see self-esteem for these kids."
The SAMA-Altoona exhibit is a nice perk to Murphy, who frequently exhibits at ARTWORKS in Johnstown.
"I think it's fantastic," she said. "I think a lot of people assume that we're just teaching artists, that we go home and we do nothing. ... Some of the artists, I had no idea the type of work that they do personally."
The site coordinator for SAMA-Altoona, Barbara Hollander, has a unique perspective on the Artist-in-Residence program - she used to run it.
"I think that the opportunity for students and teachers to have a teaching artist in their classroom is invaluable," she said. "The schools have to scramble for the funding - we give them a matching grant. That's how you see that it's working, that they want us back year after year."
Hollander said she's glad that the "Rostered Artists Revealed" exhibit will show off the talents of those involved.
"I think they deserve [the exhibit]," she said. "These artists may not be getting the credit that they're due because they're out in the trenches.
"Being a teaching artist, it's a noble profession."

In Love Review by Flare
Quality Price Value
I purchased this for a variety of uses, mainly to have somewhere to put my baby down while picnicking, at the beach, or at the park. I have used it in the complex park right behind my house (our back door literally opens into the complex park) which is perfect because I can watch my toddler and 7 year old at the same time. My 4 month old loves laying on the fabric, and is often mesmerized by the pattern (lol). I love that it's waterproof because we can take it out in the afternoon after it had previously rained that morning. It cleans easily, I love that it's not made of vinyl or any other toxic material, and it stores very easily. The carry case is perfect too, especially the little pockets on either side. Excited to use this at wasaga beach and for our next picnic by the lake. (Posted on 7/6/13)

A driver was killed in a crash involving a semi tractor-trailer and an SUV on State Road 50 overnight.
The intersection where Colonial Drive meets State Road 417 is back open after troopers closed it to investigate the deadly wreck.
The person involved in the crash was identified early Friday as 42-year-old Bruce Blake.
Witnesses said the SUV was headed the wrong way down S.R. 50 when it slammed into the semi truck.
The vehicle ended up wedged beneath the truck.
Blake was pronounced dead at the scene. No other information was immediately available.

No surprise that the Boston Red Sox erupted from a brief American League Championship Series slump to hit their way to a 6-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers in Game 2 on Sunday night in Boston. It was an abridged version of the club's remarkable last place-to-ALCS climb since the end of the 2012 season, and hitting coach Greg Colbrunn has been the unsung star in his first season on a Major League staff.
Numbers tell the story – lots of numbers. The 44-year-old Mount Pleasant resident was hired last November after Boston hit .260 as a team in 2012 (sixth in the American League).
This year the Red Sox hit .277, second-best in the AL (behind Detroit).
Colbrunn, a 13-year Major League veteran who most recently served as manager and hitting coach of the Charleston RiverDogs in separate jobs over six seasons, has had a positive impact on most of the Red Sox hitters.
Only three Boston regulars had lower regular season batting averages from 2012 to 2013: David Ortiz (.318/.309), Jonny Gomes (.275/.247) and Will Middlebrooks (.288/.227).
But check out the gains for the rest of the Red Sox (2012 batting average/2013 batting average and percentage gain):
Mike Carp: .213 with Mariners/.296 (.83)
Daniel Nava: .243/.303 (.60)
Jason Saltalamacchia: .222/.273 (.51)
Shane Victorino: .245 with Dodgers/.294 (.49)
Mike Napoli: .227 with Rangers/.259 (.32)
Stephen Drew: .223 with Athletics and Diamondbacks/.253 (.30)
Jacoby Ellsbury: .271/.298 (.27)
Dustin Pedroia: .290/.301 (.11)
Or how about the Jose Iglesias example?
The 23-year-old shortstop hit .118 in 68 at-bats with Boston in 2012. This season, he hit .330 in 215 Red Sox at-bats before going to Detroit in a three-team trade that sent Jake Peavy from the Chicago White Sox to Boston.
Iglesias then hit .259 in 135 at-bats with the Tigers.

Parallel Programming Patterns: Part 5
By Hardik Dave on Apr 22, 2008
This is the last (but not the least!) design pattern in our series of parallel programming design patterns: the ring pattern.
This pattern can be applied to those set of problems which can be modeled as a ring of processes communicating with each other in a circular fashion. The requirement in such applications is that a set of data is to be repeatedly operated upon by a fixed set of operations. This pattern can be considered as an extension of pipeline Pattern where the output of last process goes as input to the first process and the data keeps on rotating in the initial set of processes.
Now that we have seen five parallel programming design patterns in previous posts, we should get our hands dirty with MPI code, next time we will see an example of MPI program, for doing matrix vector multiplication(for very large matrices).

The couple have denied claims made by stripper Nicole Forrester that she had a one-night stand with Duhamel in Atlanta on Oct. 9. Showing that they're still very much together, Duhamel and Fergie dined at Chops restaurant located next door to the St. Regis Hotel, where Forrester claims the tryst took place.
Around 10 p.m., Fergie and Duhamel – who's in town filming Life As We Know It – walked into the restaurant. Over dinner of steak, lobster and a bottle of Chardonnay "they were snuggling up a little bit," according to Chops manager Kevin Brown. "They were sitting next to each other in a booth side by side and talking closely."
According to Brown, "We offered them a discreet table [but] she said, 'I want to sit out where the action is.' "
The two, who stayed at the restaurant for about an hour, were dressed casually: Duhamel wore jeans and a sweat shirt, while his wife donned a black leather jacket and tight gray jeans.
Reps for both Fergie and Duhamel deny there's any truth to Forrester's claims. "This is not the first nor will it be the last time that a stripper was paid a large amount of money to sell a false story about a celebrity," says Duhamel's rep. "This story is absolutely ridiculous."

In this episode of Defrag Tools, Andrew Richards, Chad Beeder and Larry Larsen continue looking at the Debugging Tools for Windows (in particular WinDbg). WinDbg is a debugger that supports user mode debugging of a process, or kernel mode debugging of a computer.
This installment goes over the commands used to show the state of debug session. It also shows some of the basic commands used to view process and thread information of a user mode process. We cover these commands:
Make sure you watch Defrag Tools Episode #1 for instructions on how to get the Debugging Tools for Windows and how to set the required environment variables for symbols and source code resolution.
Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4

Windows doesn't reset this time.
Can you provide a cmdtree files which the users can load with .cmdtree to access the commands faster? I think this is better instead of wrting all commands in the shownotes each time you create a video.
Nice episode! Are you guys gonna cover how to analyze managed memory as well?

In its continuing efforts to improve its next generation
operating system, Microsoft has released another interim build of
Windows Vista to testers. Build 5456 is a rather large jump from Windows Vista Beta 2 (Build 5384.4)
and offers a number of improvements which are sure to be welcomed by users. NeoSmart Blog reports:
Some of the new features include a revamped Aero/DWM
subsystem, and a completely overhauled and significantly less obtrusive UAP for
all those that couldn't stand the previous one. From what we have been told by
Microsoft, the Time Zone bug that plagued all most all previous builds of
Windows Vista has been fixed and works great now, and quite a few fixes in the
Regional Settings and IME are now implemented. And for the first time since
Windows 3.0 Microsoft has finally announced that new mouse cursors will be made
available for Windows - something they promised to do in XP with "Watercolors"
but failed to deliver for internal reasons!
Of all of the improvements made to this build, the less
intrusive User Access Protection (UAP) has to be on the biggest pluses. Vista's
UAP scheme has been
catching a lot of flak and Microsoft has seen it fit to gradually make the
system less and less obnoxious.
Vista beta testers can download the new build immediately
from the Windows Connect website.
The rest of you folks will just have to wait until Microsoft releases another
public build.
In other Vista news comes word that Microsoft has decided to
drop its plans to offer Windows Future Storage (WinFS) as a future update to
the operating system -- WinFS Beta 2 has been also cancelled. WinFS was the
name for the new file system that was supposed to debut with the shipping
version of Windows Vista. Over the course of Vista's long gestation period,
WinFS was dropped from the feature count then later brought back to life when
it was announced that the file system would be available
at a later date as a system upgrade for Vista.
WinFS, which is based on Microsoft SQL Server technology,
was supposed to do
away with traditional file/folder hierarchy. From Betanews:
For example, no longer would documents
need to be stored in My Documents or images in My Pictures; instead, Windows would
simply display the files associated with a particular request on demand. In
addition, WinFS could store structured data such as contacts, calendars and
As for the future of WinFS and other Windows technologies, lead
programmer Quentin Clark goes on to air out his
thoughts on his blog:
Of course, there are
other aspects of the WinFS vision that we are continuing to incubate – areas
not quite as mature as the work we are now targeting for Katmai and
ADO.NET. Since WinFS is no longer being delivered as a standalone
software component, people will wonder what that means with respect to the
Windows platform. Just as Vista pushed forward on many aspects of the
search and organize themes of the Longhorn WinFS effort, Windows will continue
to adopt work as it's ready. We will continue working the innovations,
and as things mature they will find their way into the right product experiences
– Windows and otherwise. Having so much ready for SQL Server and ADO.NET
is a big impact on the platform, and more will come.
quote: by INeedCache on June 26, 2006 at 1:26 AM
I'd like to see any of you do any better with so many hackers after your software. Some of you crow about how secure OSX and Linux are. I say I doubt it, it's just that they aren't significant enough to warrant a barrage like Windows gets. I think MS does a pretty good job. MS naysayers don't have to use Windows, and they should find another hobby as their whining act has grown tiresome.

With each eviction in his sprawling South District, Buffalo Police Chief Patrick M. Pascall sends home the same message:
"Change your behavior or change your address."
Since 2011 more than 150 problem tenants have been evicted from their residences in the district after repeatedly disrupting their neighborhoods with drug sales, illegal weapons, loud music, frequent parties and excessive fights.
Streets including Duerstein, Geary, Hopkins and Seneca show multiple evictions, as do Woodside, Parkview and South Park avenues. Mineral Springs and Willet roads each have three evictions; Potters Road has two. Indian Church Road and Red Jacket Parkway each have one.
"Evictions are one of the best community police tools available for quality-of-life issues," said City Court Judge Patrick Carney, who took over housing court duties in January 2011. "You want to wear criminals down. You want to make it as difficult as possible for drug dealers to conduct their business. You make them move enough times, maybe they will stop."
Or maybe they will flee the city.
Christopher "Brooklyn" Marks lived on Duerstein Street before he was evicted the first time in December 2011. He was then tossed from residences on Abbott Road, South Park, Como Avenue and Geary Street over the next 14 months. Along the way, Marks was arrested 17 times on narcotics-related and harassment charges, according to Pascall.
"He's the perfect example of a nuisance," said the South District chief.
Today Marks lives in Lackawanna.
The eviction of criminals is a critical part of the community policing initiatives that Pascall brought to the South District when he became chief in 2010. The South District – bounded on the west by Lake Erie, on the east by Lackawanna and West Seneca, on the north by William Street – extends as far south as the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens.
Pascall initially focused on problem addresses, those that showed repeat complaints for quality-of-life issues that can ruin neighborhood integrity. By enforcing a century-old state statute originally enacted to shut down brothels – the Bawdy House Law – he pressured landlords to evict those tenants involved in illegal activities.
If the landlords failed to take action, the statute provides for a $5,000 fine.
"We used it as leverage," Pascall said. "We called in the landlords and presented our case. I realized we had to go after the criminals where they lived because one bad tenant can ruin the whole street."
Pascall's initiatives appeared to be working, reported the Erie Crime Analysis Center, after it compared South District crime statistics from April 2009 to March 2010 with those from April 2012 to March 2013:
• Vehicle thefts dropped 42.6 percent – from 211 to 121
• Robberies fell by 13 percent – from 115 to 100
• Burglaries decreased 9.4 percent – from 512 to 464
• Assaults dropped 6 percent– from 182 to 171
The incidence of rapes in the South District, meanwhile, increased from 16 to 18. There were no homicides in the district from April 2012 to March 2013. In 2009-10 there were four.
"The biggest impact has been on Seneca Street," Pascall said. "It was really bad when I first started, with larcenies, burglaries, problem properties. There were pockets of problems. Now there are not as many people hanging on corners."
A narcotics raid on Hammerschmidt Avenue in April resulted in the arrest of a 40-year-old man, said police.
"The suspect was selling hallucinogenic mushrooms," said Officer Anthony LeBron, who works the South District community police beat with Officer David Fay. "He had a grow farm in his apartment. He was putting the mushrooms in candy molds and covering them with chocolate; that's how he was selling them."
LeBron identified the suspect as Robert L. Wilson. Wilson, police said, was also charged with criminal possession of a loaded AK-47. Wilson's apartment on Hammerschmidt was blocks away from School 93, Southside Elementary.
According to LeBron, when a police raid nets narcotics or weapons, the tenant could face eviction within 72 hours. Notice to evict usually requires 30 calendar days.
Wilson was sent packing within days of his arrest, LeBron reported.
"I'm not picking on the landlords because there are a lot of good ones, but you end up with these absentee landlords who aren't even in the state of New York maintaining tenants who are creating havoc or holding the neighborhood hostage," LeBron said. "I can't, in good conscience, allow someone to make money off of that at the expense of everyone else on that block. That's not how it should be."
Ronald B. Reczek is the third generation in his family to live in the house his grandfather bought in Kaisertown nearly a century ago. Reczek, who retired from General Motors after working 42 years, was raised on Weiss Street and returned there to live in 2008 after the death of his father.
Weiss – running from Dingens Street, crossing Clinton and Casimir Street – was not the street he remembered as a child.
"The street was a nightmare. Two doors down, we had a derelict house – one of the worst houses in Kaisertown in my estimation. Beer bottles and crack bags littered the lawn. People were coming and going at all hours," said Reczek. "When the block goes bad, residents are in a bind. They either sell or clean up."
Reczek did better. He Googled "block club" and then called his councilman.
"I've never done anything like this in my life, but I did whatever I thought I could do," said Reczek, who is 69. "It's been a real headache, almost tortuous. This isn't the easiest world to live in, and block clubs can be very tricky. The thing with this neighborhood is, it's hard to get people together because of their multinational nature."
Two evictions and 50 police reports later, Weiss Street is back on track.
The block club Reczek formed in August 2011 exists today with a dozen core members each paying $1 a month for dues.
"We're not cops. We're not soldiers. But the drug houses are gone, and no one bad has moved in," Reczek said.
Linda Freidenberg, president of the Board of Block Clubs of Buffalo and Erie County, has helped scores of city block clubs get off the ground, including many in South Buffalo.
"South Buffalo is like a different world than the rest of the city," Freidenberg said. "We don't let them mess with the block clubs in South Buffalo. The older people are still holding it together, but we need some young blood in our block clubs. We must get the younger people to care about the neighborhood like we do."
John T. Poniewierski, 64, presides over the Kaisertown Coalition, a block club organized in 1999 that meets in the Peter Machnica Center on Clinton.
Poniewierski, retired from Bethlehem Steel Co., recalled working at Sattler's department store on Broadway.
"I saw that neighborhood go down, and I don't want it to happen here," he said. "It's easier to keep a neighborhood than try to take it back."
"I know exactly what's going on in the district," said Pascall. "I log it, and categorize it by address or crime type. It lets people know what is going on in their area with the exceptions of domestic violence and rapes."
Pascal also tracks evictions, marking each with a red dot on a computer map of his district. He said that most of the time landlords don't even know about the Bawdy House Law.
"Ninety-nine percent of the time it works. We tell them to evict the problem tenant or face a $5,000 fine in Housing Court," said Pascall.

Terry Douglas Hyde, 36, Tyrone, died unexpectedly Thursday at home after a very brief illness.
He was born in Tyrone, son of Terry and Jane (Maisano) Hyde.
Surviving are his parents of Tyrone; a daughter, MacKenzie Hyde; a sister, Michelle Rudasill, a nephew, Dustin Rudasill, and a niece, Skylar Rudasill, all of Tyrone; his girlfriend, Jennifer "Jenny" Chestney of Altoona; and his former wife, Elizabeth (Groseclose) Hyde of Warriors Mark.
Article Photos
Terry was a 1994 graduate of Tyrone Area High School, where he participated in football and wrestling. He graduated from Penn State University in 1999 with a B.S. degree in kinesiology and earned a master's degree in education in 2005. He taught and coached wrestling in Maryland from 1999-2005 before returning to the area to teach at Juniata Valley High School, where the yearbook was dedicated to him in 2010. He was also an instructor at Penn State Altoona from 2005 until the present.
Terry was of the Methodist faith and a member of the Tyrone Elks, Tyrone American Legion and Monogram Club. His first love and pride and joy was his daughter. He was an avid hunter and enjoyed his annual trips to Virginia to hunt turkeys with his family and friends, and his newest passion was golf. His warm blue eyes, a smile that could light up a room and a sense of humor that could always make you laugh made a lasting mark.
Friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012, at Feller Memorial Home, Tyrone, and 10 until the 11 a.m. funeral service Monday, Nov. 19, 2012, at the Church of the Good Shepherd, Tyrone, Pastor Aden Wertz officiating. Interment will follow at Blair Memorial Park.

Oops, something didn't work.
This works until you have a client that is running Windows XP. The collector doesn't work on that ancient crap.
Great stuff. Well done.
By the way, can someone get on that broken progress bar bug in the player? Been there a while now.
@JoshRoss: It shouldn't run on stuff which is already unsupported by Microsoft. Extended support for XP ends in Apr,14 I believe.

LISBON - The Lisbon United Methodist Church has no intention of taking legal action to stop the state from erecting a traffic control box on its lawn, a recent newspaper story to the contrary notwithstanding.
Two weeks ago, the Morning Journal ran a story saying the Methodist Church was considering filing a lawsuit as a last resort and wanted to know if Village Council could help. This was based on comments made at the Sept. 25 council meeting by Jack Dowd, who identified himself as a church representative.
At this week's meeting, council was presented with a memorandum from Cheryl Mills, secretary to Mayor Dan Bing, who said church representative Bill Jones called her after reading the story and apologized. Mills said Jones told her Dowd was not speaking for the church in any official capacity, and the church does not want to seek an injunction against the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT).
Meanwhile, council received a letter from Dowd dated Oct. 8 seeking a response about the ongoing issue. Council President Roger Gallo suggested they disregard the letter based on Jones' phone call to Mills, which they did.
ODOT recently completed work on several intersections in town in preparation for installing new wireless traffic lights. One of the intersections is at Washington and South Market streets, where the church is located.
At the Sept. 10 meeting, Jones and another church representative told council that as part of the project ODOT intends to install a 5-foot-high control box on the church lawn in front of an illuminated church sign. Church officials claim the control box would be located beyond the ODOT right-of-way and on church property.
Mills, in her memo to council, said Jones told her church trustees would still like to meet with ODOT before anything is done. Mayor Bing was supposed to schedule such a meeting but has yet to do so. Bing said at this week's meeting he would try to do so in coordination with Jones.
In other action at the meeting, council:
- Authorized the fire department to purchase a propane storage tank to power the back-up generator for the fire department's radio system. The tank is being purchased from Salem Propane for $400.
- Approved the request of street department foreman Jim Oliver to advertise to hire a seasonal worker for the remainder of the fall and the entire winter. Oliver said they need the additional help finish their fall chores and assist in snow-plowing the streets. Village policy restricts a seasonal worker to no more than 520 hours.
- Agreed to purchase a backpack leaf blower for the street department. The blower is to be purchased from L & G Mower Repair in Lisbon for $264.
