Top Definition
A town located on Martha's Vineyard in Dukes County, Massachusetts, USA. The population was 344 at the 2000 census. It is known for its beautiful clay cliffs and quiet natural serenity, which has become less common in the heavily populated northeastern United States. The clay cliffs/beach are one of the few nude beaches left in the U.S. More recently, it has become celebrated as a center of Wampanoag culture and a center of pride and tradition amongst members of the tribe, who make up a majority of the town's residents.
On our last trip to the Vineyard, we spent the day swimming at Gay Head.

After sitting behind Sean Sellwood the past three years, Nick Marsh thought Utah's starting punting job would finally be his this season with Sellwood graduating.
Problem was, the Utes' coaching staff had other ideas, opting to go with sophomore Tom Hackett instead.
So Marsh went into scramble mode, changing his major so he could graduate in the spring after four years. Then he started shopping for a school that needed a punter on a one-year basis. Rutgers, with a gaping void at the position, surfaced as an immediate option.
"I really thought I was going to finish out my fifth year at Utah," Marsh said today, after the Scarlet Knights' first pre-season practice. "How it ended up changing is that the Utah coaches decided they wanted to go a different way. So I had to change my (academic) schedule and change what I was going to get my degree in so I could graduate in the spring.
"This spring was really when I first had the idea that I was going to do this and give myself an opportunity to play somewhere else."
For someone from Petaluma, Calif. who spent four years at Utah, Rutgers and New Jersey would seem to be an out-of-the-blue landing spot. But Marsh knew about the school and the state because his aunt attended Rutgers and his father grew up in Princeton.
And when he saw how desperate the Scarlet Knights were for help with kickoffs and in their punting game, he had no hesitation about heading East.
A fifth-year graduate student, Marsh was able to take advantage of an NCAA rule that allows a student-athlete who graduates in four years but has played only three to have one year of immediate eligibility while pursuing a master's degree at another school. Marsh is studying for his master's in Labor and Employment Relations.
"I just wanted more playing time than what I was going to get at Utah, so getting the chance to come here and play right away was a perfect marriage," he said. "So I'm happy to be here and fill a void, I guess."
Marsh didn't do much punting behind Sellwood in his three years as the back-up (Sellwood's 46.5-yard average last year would have ranked No. 3 nationally if he'd qualified with enough kicks), but he did punt 20 times in 2011, averaging 40.5 yards.
Justin Doerner averaged 37.2 yards last year for Rutgers, which finished 117th nationally (out of 120 schools) in net punting.
The added benefit to Marsh is that he handles kickoffs as well, averaging 65.7 yards -- third in the Pac-12 last year -- on kickoffs.
Anthony DiPaula averaged 57.7 yards on kickoffs for the Scarlet Knights last season.
"The main thing is that this is an opportunity," he said. "That's something I've been waiting for and looking for."

Carrie Underwood took the April/May 2012 cover of Vegas magazine, and this week she's staring back at us from the front of Billboard's April 21 issue.

The cover story bears the title 'Carrie Underwood Plays On.'

In 2010, she portrayed a high school student in love in the flick 'Valentine's Day.'

Skylar Laine Fights Rumors That She's Dating 'American Idol' Peer Colton Dixon
Ryan Seacrest started a playful rumor on 'American Idol' this week, repeatedly asking country fireball Skylar Laine and her fellow hopeful Colton Dixon if they are dating. After the two dueted to Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson's 'Don't You Wanna Stay' -- their second duet together -- the dating jokes began. Of course, the same thing happened to Phillip Phillips and Elise Testone after their duet. Apparently, there's just something about onstage chemistry that gets the rumors flying.
Taylor Swift Still Hard at Work on New Album
At the end of last year, we reported that Taylor Swift was getting to work writing for her 2012 record, a follow-up to her massively successful 'Speak Now.' The October 2010 release grew into the international phenomenon that was her Speak Now World Tour, sparking a series of sold out shows and all-star collaborations. And while we haven't heard much in the past few months as far as album details, like a title or a release date, Swift did take to Twitter Wednesday night (April 11) to post a photo of her in a pair of headphones playing guitar in the studio.

Why I Can't Get Anything DoneGoon Squad Sarah
The thing about working from home is that sometimes other people sick and in my office.
Really there are a lot of things about working from home. Good things: the commute, I don't have to wear makeup or pantyhose, the hours are flexible, I can eat lunch at home, I am here if the kids have a day off, can listen to whatever music I want, pants are optional. Bad things: nobody actually thinks I work, the laundry taunts me when I am supposed to be writing, the writing taunts me when I am trying to do laundry, I have no excuse to buy nice shoes and you can never go home.
But this week the main thing is that my son is home sick.
I love my son deeply. I enjoy spending time with him. I am very sad that he doesn't feel well and right now I really, really wish he would stop talking for five minutes in a row.
Today while trying to work I have been interrupted by the following questions:
- Who is the best Sith Lord?
- Can I have more Doritos?
- Do they make giant stuffed dragons?
- Can I start a blog?
- Who do you like better the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the New York Giants?
- What is your favorite color M&M?
So you see, while all very important questions, it make it hard to concentrate on writing something coherent.
The answers, by the way, are Vader, no, I think so, sure but not right now, the Buccaneers and green.
The huge upside is, of course, spending and entire day with my son and begin able to be here for him when he doesn't feel well and I don't even have to take a vacation day.
Not that any of my jobs actually have paid holidays or benefits of any kind, but you know what I mean.
I didn't get much done today but I am lucky and I know it.
And he is going to school tomorrow.

O'Brien praises Penn State's resiliency
STATE COLLEGE -- Whatever you do, don't talk to Bill O'Brien about good fortune.
After Penn State's 24-17 come-from-behind, overtime win over Illinois on Saturday, a reporter asked the second-year Nittany Lions coach if he felt fortunate to win the game.
O'Brien bristled at the assertion that fortune played any part.
"I never feel fortunate to win. I think our kids battled," he said. "I think we were a resilient team. We won a football game."
For the better part of two years, O'Brien has repeated that he has a roster full of tough, smart, resilient players. It's almost become a clich�.
With the Nittany Lions' list of scholarship players dwindling into the 60s because of NCAA sanctions, compared to the 85 maximum for other teams, Penn State has still been competitive.
Penn State is 5-3 and 2-2 in the Big Ten, with an embarrassing 44-24 loss Oct. 5 at Indiana, the first in program history to the Hoosiers.
Many thought that would signal a slide. But the Nittany Lions came away with a 43-40 four-overtime win over Michigan.
Then, when Penn State was shellacked 63-14 by Ohio State on Oct. 26 in Columbus, alarm bells sounded again. The defense had allowed at least 40 points in three consecutive games.
The Nittany Lions sprinted out to a 14-0 lead Saturday against an Illinois squad that was 0-17 in the Big Ten under Tim Beckman. The Illini battled back to take a late 17-14 lead.
But that much-maligned defense, despite yielding more than 400 yards of total offense, made some key plays down the stretch.
"That's so important, when you just keep coming back and fighting no matter what," safety Ryan Keiser said. "Even if you feel a little down, or the other team makes a play, you've got to keep playing and playing through it and that shows our toughness."
With time running out, the defense held Illinois to a three-and-out and gave the ball back to the offense.
"We never really gave up on ourselves. We moved the ball really well. We were on the field a lot and that is good," said wide receiver Allen Robinson, who caught 11 passes for 165 yards. "Coach is always preaching for us to keep fighting and that is something we preach to ourselves as players. Just to keep fighting for one another and get out there and make plays."
Penn State drove to the Illinois 18 and from there Sam Ficken kicked a 35-yard field goal to send the game into overtime.
Even with the second overtime in the past three games, the Nittany Lions were still confident they would win.
"I was like, 'here we go again.' I didn't know how long it was going to take, but I knew we were going to get the job done," linebacker Mike Hull said.
And they did.
After a holding penalty wiped out a rushing touchdown, quarterback Christian Hackenberg rifled a pass to tight end Kyle Carter for a touchdown.
On Illinois' first play on its overtime possession, Nathan Scheelhaase tried to force a pass to Spencer Harris in double coverage. Penn State's Adrian Amos broke up the play and the ball bounced into the air. Keiser picked it off to end the game.
"We are a relentless team. We are never going to give up and that is something that is our identity," guard Miles Dieffenbach said. "We are not going to give up and we always keep fighting until the end."
Cornerback Jordan Lucas said the key is team cohesiveness.
"We just have to stay together. That's what it's really about. There are ups and downs to every game and when you stay together that's when you come up and make plays," he said.
"That's what we were able to do. Our offense made plays, and we made a play on defense to end the game."

ITO, TEIJI - WATERMILL (CD - USED vg+/m-)
"The fifth CD in Tzadik's initiative to make available the music of Teiji Ito presents his undisputed masterpiece Watermill. Created in 1971 for the controversial ballet by Jerome Robbins and named for the town on Long Island where Robbins had a peaceful country home, Teiji draws upon Chinese, Tibetan, African, Native American and Japanese ceremonies in creating what many consider his most profound compositional achievement. Based on the ideas of cycles years, moons, ages and seasons, Watermill is brilliantly brought to life by Teiji colleague Steve Com and a brilliant ensemble that includes Teiji's daughter Tavia Ito. This is music of deep spirituality composed by a pioneer of the New York Underground who is finally getting the recognition he has long deserved." (label info)

Some Sony Xperia Z models are turning into water resistant paperweights; Sony to offer a fix
0. phoneArena 20 Mar 2013, 22:50 posted on
Some owners of the Sony Xperia Z are watching hopelessly as their top-shelf handset turns into a water resistant paperweight; according to eye witnesses, the phone is alive and vibrant, suddenly turns off, and cannot be revived; some have been able to get the phone back from the dead with a hard reset (power button and volume up), but for most, nothing can be done...

Even though this sucks. I like how they are adressing it so fast. One step foward in becoming the next big phone manufacture is adressing these problems fast and owning up to the problem.
17. cheetah2k (Posts: 1576; Member since: 16 Jan 2011)
One step forward to becoming the next big phone manufacturer is properly testing and catching these issues before they go to market...
Sony are renouned for releasing hardware with issues, and yet still havent learnt.
45. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
they are releasing new phones in a fast pace to provide what they call the best so they dont have the time to test them and make sure of their quality

But I've seen them freeze and broke really easy here in New Mexico and just cause it doesn't happen around you doesn't mean it doesn't happen to iPhone user everywhere, I'm just saying there's always going to be something wrong with the all those devices and it doesn't matter if it's Android, iPhone, WP or any other Smartphone OS
21. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
it normally gets cellular issues with antenas for first batchs always
31. wendygarett (unregistered)
This is why I decided to purchase it at October, first batch device always a faulty one
62. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
By October it will be selling for 50% of the current price ... you are smart :)
38. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
but this is too much!
a less than a month old smartphone having this dying issues is terrible
7. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Sounds like Sony has been hanging around HTC too much.

18. Twisted247 (Posts: 282; Member since: 12 Oct 2012)
Sony's ish is WEAK. dropping your flagship for the year with last year's s4 on board. And now this. .haha
19. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Old story. This has been discussed for weeks onhttp://talk.sonymobile.com/ Prices will sink faster now ... and all defective pcs will start showing up on ebay under seller warranty :D
20. linas_ltu (Posts: 32; Member since: 19 Apr 2012)
nice... another flagship, another sudden death issue? I really hope that htc one is gonna be allright
23. YaBoiDre10 (Posts: 84; Member since: 15 Nov 2012)
It's funny people put the Xperia Z on a pedestal saying it has the best design, display ect. when the fact that no matter how fast, or good the phone looks Sony phones ALWAYS have problems. More than iPhones when they release a new one. Funny thing is you don't get that problem from Samsung phones :)
24. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
i think you missed one thing:
S3 had sleep of death issue as well.
"Funny thing is you don't get that problem from Samsung phones"
maybe YOU don't want to see. LOL
29. pyradark (Posts: 854; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
also the build quality issue on blue color of S3.
LOL, SOny update all there line up each year, there are some that didnt make it but compare to sammy, ony S 1-4 and note and couple of ok phone will get update, but A LOT will dont get any of update.
Now I see sammy dont have any problem with every phone hahahaha
33. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
Sony good in update than samsung???
What about xperia arc??? S2 is getting jellybean...
Xperia s is still in ics while s3 is running jb...
And s3 is getting all the software features of s4 which doesn't require any special software...
What world you are living in????
47. pyradark (Posts: 854; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
only S2 and S3 is the only phone you can site. too bad there are a lot of sammy phone out there and poor people, they dont get any update bcoz sammy is busy with the S2-4.
and LOL again you compare XS to S3, you must be out of this world, its easy to update a phone with latest hardware.
56. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
What about tipo??? galaxy music getting jelly bean...
axe +.s duos are getting jelly bean...what about sola????
don't talk about carrier tied phones..it is not samsung's mistake...
Xs and s3 where flagship phones of respective companies in H1 of 2012 ..so nothing wrong in comparing it...
51. oister85 (Posts: 493; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
let them know shuaibhere lol
57. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
XP is forgotten and XJ (lower than XP) gets an update to JB. Sony SUCKS bug time.
39. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
i know abt sudden death issues of s3,
but having sudden death issue for a month-old smartphone is ridiculous..
50. kdealltheway (Posts: 94; Member since: 21 Oct 2012)
It's ridiculous for any flagship! Being proud that your phone died later then someone else's is just stupid. This type of things shouldn't happen in this price range, to come to think about it, in any price range!
26. Ninetysix (Posts: 2380; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
You are trolling right? Look up sudden death issue on the S3. There's a 450+ thread on xda about it. Lots of S3s dying each day.
30. Trex95 (Posts: 900; Member since: 03 Mar 2013)
This actually a new thread! how come Samsung announced in end of 2012 for an update solve this issue?!!!
41. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
given that these issues of s3 came after months of use is different from a newly used phone having sudden death issue..
and given that s3 was sold in million units, maybe a minimal percentage of those users have the problem,,
while this XZ having just released lately and still with few users.. are now having the problem..
25. techloverNYC (Posts: 601; Member since: 20 Nov 2012)
I still think waterproof is the most "useful" gimmick function lately introduced on a cellphone.
Now I can use my phone in the shower, in the rain, in the pool,beach,etc w/ no worries
Those places used to be the grave of smartphones (b4 waterproof cases).
P.S:Plus u can always impress the ladies/friends by dunking ur phone in the beer
34. bayusuputra (Posts: 962; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
actually, it is useful in tropical countries like mine, where rain can suddenly pours without ample warning. The waterproofing certainly help if you can't find shelters nearby and you are stuck with your phone in the open.
Happened to me few days ago. Riding my bike and out of a sudden, the rain poured and luckily for me, there was a shelter, although my 8X was quite damp by the time I took it out of my jeans. The only reason I had to stop is because I didn't want my phone to die. And having a waterproof certification certainly helps. Yeah, probably I won't take it to the pool, but it is certainly beneficial in emergency cases.
27. Esf_Kid (Posts: 49; Member since: 28 Feb 2013)
fortunately mine still works perfectly and i really LOVE it.
61. procopiojose (Posts: 132; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
4 days later... bam!!
28. marceldy (Posts: 17; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
So many new flagship phones have this selt-destruct feature ! is it a trend or what ?
35. Tsepz_GP (Posts: 987; Member since: 12 Apr 2012)
Oh dear, typical Sony, having odd issues.
36. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
I hope they fix this problem quickly. It will show their level of service.
40. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
anyway how can the user update if the phone is totally dead?
42. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)

Dead phones don't receive updates
58. NateAdam8 (Posts: 388; Member since: 17 Feb 2012)
Nothing new I've seen most Android Devices do this and I'm not surprised at all, It's just what it does from time to time after so much altering with the OS it becomes unstable and CRASHS
64. Kalevro (Posts: 56; Member since: 11 Sep 2011)
I just ate lunch with my xperia Z, after washing it of course. -___-
65. rsxl5 (Posts: 65; Member since: 05 Sep 2012)
Looks like it's mine case.
Fortunately cold boot is working here.
No other issues for me.
66. jooj68 (Posts: 1; Member since: 22 Mar 2013)
Received my Xperia Z yesterday (21/3/13) at 11 am and the screen froze on me today at 12pm!! As I am still (27 days) under O2's 28 day warranty, they are replacing it with a brand new one - wonder if I will get more than a day's use of that one......???!!!
67. yotikmol (Posts: 1; Member since: 29 Aug 2013)
This was happened to me 2 weeks ago, my 4 months old xperia ZL fail to charge and turn on after i run out of battery and remain unusable within 4 days! trying everything to make it back to work but ending me to buy lumia 920 as a replacement, good thing i manage to turn it back on and i will never switch it off again. After 3 days my collegue's 1 month old xperia Z got dead with 40% charge, i can't revive the phone the way that i did with mine, this is very sad for us, we choose SONY for reliability but this is what happened. we need fix SONY ASAP.

NEVER MIND THE PIERCED NAVEL, the sexy strut and the sassy talk: Nashville newcomer Mindy McCready wants to be a role model. It's the least she can do for the Brat—her brother T.J., 18, who moved in with Mindy and her two dachshunds, Monroe and Lukie, last year. She thinks the Brat and his whole generation could use a little more guidance than their parents were willing or able to give. So Mindy serves up straight talk about everything from T.J.'s smoking ("You smell like a pig") to his love life. "Are you having sex with that girl?" she'll demand to know before sketching out T.J.'s rosy future as a gas station attendant if he gets his date pregnant. "He usually doesn't talk to the girl much after that," Mindy adds with a chuckle.
It's the same brand of straight talk, set to music, that has helped the green-eyed, platinum-haired 21-year-old make the leap from karaoke bars to major concert arenas in less than three years. McCready has already scored a No. 1 country single and sold nearly 2 million copies of her debut album, 10,000 Angels. On April 23, she will vie with Deana Carter and LeeAnn Rimes for Top New Female Vocalist honors at the Academy of Country Music Awards in California. McCready reckons that Rimes, whose own debut album, Blue, has sold 4.6 million copies, is a shoo-in. "She's going to win, period," McCready says. "It's phenomenal that a 14-year-old sings like that." She doesn't envy LeeAnn's life though. "Good God! No school, no boyfriends, no playing Barbies," she says. "It's work."
McCready's fans regard her hugely popular song, "Guys Do It All the Time," as a women's anthem, thanks to its good-natured role-reversing lyrics: "Will you bring me a cold one, baby/ And turn on the TV/ We'll talk about this later/ There's a ballgame I want to see." Even McCready's navel ring—this is not the sort of thing Minnie Pearl wore to the Grand Ole Opry—is making wavelets in Nashville, to the point that some label executives suggested hiding it in publicity photos. McCready responded with a polite, "Hell, no! That's part of me."
Self-assurance is second nature to McCready, who grew up fast in Fort Myers, Fla., after her father, Tim, a Winn-Dixie supermarket manager, and mother Gayle, a businesswoman, split up when Mindy was 9. She was a latchkey kid, responsible for T.J. (Tim Jr.) and their brother Josh, now 16 and living in Cape Coral, Fla., with his father. When she was 18, Mindy made her way to Nashville with the dream of a singing career and a promise to Gayle that she would sign a recording contract within just one year—or else give it up and aim for college. McCready used tapes of her Fort Myers karaoke performances to land a job doing songwriter demos. Then, after 11 months in Nashville, she was signed in 1995 by RCA/Nashville, whose chairman, Joe Galante, was won over by both her vocal talent and star quality. "She relates," says Galante, "and that's what the great ones have always done. When she's onstage you feel like you're with your best friend or your girlfriend or your sister or your granddaughter."
Though still feeling the whiplash from her rapid ascent—"My first record, my first year, my first everything!" McCready exclaims—the videogenic singer has a second album in the works and is beginning to field calls from Hollywood. Meanwhile, as she waits for her first big royalties to kick in—she's still paying off her new Toyota 4Runner and her two-bedroom Nashville condo, as well as saving up to put her brothers through college—McCready hasn't allowed herself much time for dating. "That's okay. I've had three serious boyfriends in my life, and it's not all it's cracked up to be," she says. "I have my dogs."

Not too long ago, I was a commitment-phoebe when it came to cooking; the less ingredients the better and the less time, even better. One commonality made me re-think my kitchen routine: having picky eaters; both kids and parrots. I've seen my fare share of meals gone to waste, totally ignored or flung across the room. That's why, once I found recipes that worked, I bought more tupperware and ZipLock bags. Now I set aside one or two days a week to cook the pasta dish the kids love and the rice-and-bean medley the birds run down to their food bowls for. I have birdie bread and muffin mixes to thank for family-fun baking sessions; the boys mix it and I bake it. Two half-hour sessions a week give the flock a bit of crumble yum daily for the entire week.

Established by Samuel Williams as a trading port and warehouse near the time of the Revolutionary War, Williams Wharf became one of the country's centers of maritime activity in the early 1800s. From 1802 to 1844, more than 10,000 vessels called at the East River port.
The Wharf also served as a major port for steamboats running from Baltimore to Norfolk earlier this century.
Williams Wharf is the MLC's first and largest project thus far. It is a roughly 4-acre public access waterfront facility located on the East River and State Route 614. In 1994, a grant of $702,000 toward Phase I projected costs of $900,000 was provided by the Virginia Dept. of Transportation through Federal ISTEA money.
Including the initial purchase, over $1,000,000 has been spent at Williams Wharf to preserve this natural and historic landmark as well as reviving it to offer environmentally friendly waterfront activities for Mathews County citizens and visitors.
The Wharf is the MLC's official headquarters and also home to the award-winning Mathews High School Crew Team, the Mobjack Rowing Association, and the Mathews YMCA's Sailing Camp. Each use the facilities at the Wharf annually for training and hosting events. They are not the only ones, however, who take advantage of the beautiful waterfront facilities.

Norris Hollie. The Chicago Medical Missionary Trainin School
Norris Hollie is a senior at Oakwood College majoring in both pre-med and theology. His paper looks at the work that the Chicago Medical Missionary Training School accomplished as part of the work that the Seventh-day Adventist sponsored in Chicago at the end of the nineteeth century. Very little has been written about this work in Seventh-day Adventist historiography. This paper provides a good introduction to not only the work of the training school but also the people that worked at this institution.
Andy Manzano. The Medical Work in Trinidad.
Andy Manzano is currently doing graduate work at the Inter American Seventh-day Adventist Seminary. He is also a pastor in Trinidad and Tobago. His paper provides an excellent overview of the medical work of the Seventh-day Adventist in Trinidad.
Gaudencio Morgades Manel. Los Origines del Mensaje Adventist en Ginea Ecuatorial
Gaudencio Morgades Manel was born and grew up in Equatorial Ginea. He is currently doing graduate work in Montemorelos University in Mexico. His work traces the spread of Adventism in Equatorial Ginea, documenting the important roll that immigrants workers from neighboring countries, specially Nigeria, played in the birth of Adventism in one of the few Spanish Speaking regions in Africa.
Troy Levy. "The Power Behind the Explosive Growth of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in
Troy Levy is a senior theology major at Oakwoo College. AFrica is the fastest growing region of the word in reference to the spread of Christianity. Troy puts forth a theory as to why the SDA Church has and continues to grow so quickly in the part of the world.

Welcome to the home page of the IAVCEI/IACS Joint Commission on Volcano�??Ice Interactions. The Commission is charged with promoting research and interest in the complex interactions of magmas and ice in all its forms (snow, firn, ice and meltwater), on Earth and other planets. In general such interactions are referred to as glaciovolcanism. This website is intended to be the first port of call for anybody with an interest in the subject. It should also serve as a rapid means of discovering what glaciovolcanic meetings are currently planned, and as a way of contacting most of the active workers. In addition, to foster the exchange of ideas internationally, we have created a glaciovolcanic image database, since a good clear image of a feature is worth a thousand words. The database is accessible from this site and all the images are freely available for use in (non-commercial) public talks and papers. We invite everyone to contribute their favourite educational images to help constantly improve and expand the database.

American Eagle Airlines Continues Gulf Coast Expansion With New Chicago O'Hare - Gulfport, Miss., Service
American Eagle, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, will add a daily nonstop flight between Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) and Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport (GPT) beginning Dec. 13.
American Eagle will operate the service with 44-seat Embraer ERJ-140 jets. American Eagle already has three daily round trips between Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport.
"We are pleased to provide direct access to Chicago from the Mississippi Gulf Coast," said Peter Bowler, President and CEO of American Eagle Airlines. "This new route will also be popular with Chicagoans in the winter to provide quick and easy access to a nice, warm destination like Gulfport-Biloxi."
"While serving on the Senate's aviation subcommittee, I've worked extensively with airlines to help secure numerous direct flights from Mississippi to major U.S. cities like New York, Washington, D.C., Detroit, Orlando and Houston," said Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) "Certainly this new link will complement the ongoing expansion of the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. With direct service to Chicago, a primary hub for international flights, Mississippi becomes even more accessible for recreational and business travelers, and American Airlines investment in this region reflects their strong faith in Mississippi's recovery and the Gulf Coast's economic future."
"We thank American Eagle for their continued support of the Mississippi Gulf Coast," said Richard Matheny, Gulfport-Biloxi Airport Authority Chairman. "Chicago was our most important market without direct air service."
The schedule for the flights between Chicago and Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss. (all times local):
Chicago O'Hare to Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss. (ORD-GPT)
Flight Departs Arrives Days
4043 9:20 a.m. 11:35 a.m. Daily
Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss. to Chicago O'Hare (GPT-ORD)
Flight Departs Arrives Days
4048 12:10 p.m. 2:35 p.m. Daily
With the addition of the new Gulfport-Biloxi service, American Eagle will serve eight cities in the Gulf Coast region from Chicago: Birmingham, Ala. (two daily); Baton Rouge, La. (one daily); Fort Walton Beach, Fla. (one daily); Jackson, Miss. (one daily); Mobile, Ala. (one daily); Pensacola, Fla. (two daily); and Shreveport, La. (one daily).

EFF to Verizon: Etisalat Certificate Authority Threatens Web Security
EFF will soon be launching the SSL Observatory project, an effort to monitor and secure the cryptographic infrastructure of the World Wide Web. There is much work to be done, and we will need the help of many parties to make the HTTPS-encrypted web genuinely trustworthy. To see why, you can read the following letter, which we are sending to Verizon today:
(there is also a story in the New York Times)
Dear Verizon,
We are writing to request that Verizon investigate the security and privacy implications of the SSL CA certificate (serial number 0x40003f1) that Cybertrust (now a division of Verizon) issued to Etisalat on the 19th of December, 2005, and evaluate whether this certificate should be revoked.
As you are aware, Etisalat is a telecommunications company headquartered in the United Arab Emirates. In July 2009, Etisalat issued a mislabeled firmware update to approximately 100,000 of its BlackBerry subscribers that contained malicious surveillance software [1]. Research In Motion subsequently issued patches to remove this malicious code [2].
More recently, the United Arab Emirates Telecommunications Regulatory Authority and Etisalat threatened to discontinue service to BlackBerry users, claiming that these devices "allow users to act without any legal accountability, causing judicial, social and national security concerns for the UAE", apparently on account of Research In Motion's refusal to offer surveillance back doors in its encryption services [3].
These events clearly demonstrate that Etisalat and the UAE regulatory environment within which it operates are institutionally hostile to the existence and use of secure cryptosystems. It is therefore of great concern to us that Etisalat is in possession of a trusted SSL CA certificate and the
accompanying private key, which effectively functions as a master key for the encrypted portion of the World Wide Web. Etisalat could use this key to issue itself valid HTTPS certificates for verizon.com, eff.org, google.com, microsoft.com, or indeed any other website. Etisalat could use those certificates to conduct virtually undetectable surveillance and attacks against those sites. Etisalat's keys could also possibly be used to obtain access to some corporate VPNs.
We believe this situation constitutes an unacceptable security risk to the Internet in general and especially to foreigners who use Etisalat's data services when they travel.
We do not know whether Etisalat is willing to use its SSL CA keys for surveillance; however, the malicious code that Etisalat distributed last year had been signed by cryptographic keys that gave it access to various security-sensitive parts of the BlackBerry's API [4][5], indicating a willingness on Etisalat's part to use other keys for the wholesale subversion of security measures intended to protect users' privacy.
Because Microsoft, Mozilla, and other browser vendors have chosen to delegate certificate issuing authority to Verizon/Cybertrust, and because Cybertrust in turn chose to delegate this authority to Etisalat, Verizon is now the only party in a position to mitigate this risk to Internet security in a manner that is prompt and minimizes side-effects. We therefore request that Verizon reevalute whether Etisalat is a trustworthy Certificate Authority, and determine whether may be appropriate to issue a new CRL revoking Etisalat's CA certificate.

When you're looking for a good family camping spot, I don't think it gets much better than finding a place that offers a hike within walking distance of your campsite.
What I mean, obviously, is a hike with a trailhead near your tent. They're harder to find than you might think. But one of the best I've done in the past few years is at Golden Gate Canyon State Park.
I camped there the week of June 20. We camped in the Reverend's Ridge Campground. There are both electric and tent campsites there. We, meaning my kids and I, stayed in a tent beside Mom's behemoth camper.
The campsite was nice, but the hike, to Panorama Point, was even better. The hike starts at the Reverend's Ridge Visitor's Center. Signs will lead you there. I think it took us five minutes to reach the center from our campsite by foot, but that could take longer depending on where you camp.
Panorama Point starts on the Raccoon Trail — Golden Gate names its trails after critters — and heads down into a valley. At a junction, you can go either left or right. Either one will lead you to Panorama Point. We went right because it was slightly shorter, but I don't think it makes that much of a difference. My kids, aged 7, 7 and 9, are hardy because they have to be to survive their father's love for hiking, but this is probably a trip your kids can do, too. I saw many on the trail. The trail is wide and stays away from cliffs, and it's a little rocky but not too bad. It is steep at times, but there are plenty of places to rest.
Panorama Point has to be one of the biggest rewards for such a small hike. It's two miles one way, and the point gives you a view of Longs Peak and Mount Meeker, the Indian Peaks such as Mount Audubon and 14ers such as Grays and Torreys and Mount Evans. There also are plenty of places to sit, and there's some viewing scopes on a nice deck, along with some signs that tell you what peaks you're looking at. This gave me a chance to show my kids all the peaks I've climbed, but they usually see through my humble bragging pretty quickly. They lost interest after I pointed out Longs.
To cut down on the whining on the trip home, we took Gap Road back to the campsite, which is more dangerous but cut the hike in half and is safe as long as you keep an eye out for cars. As it turns out, you can drive to Panorama Point. My kids pointed this out as we were walking back to our tent. You can also drive to the top of Mount Evans, I told my kids. But there's a greater satisfaction in walking there.

Thanks to yet another shootout victory on Thursday night – this time against the Phoenix Coyotes – the Blues all but officially took control of their playoff destiny. Prior to the big win against Phoenix, the Blues already mostly controlled their playoff future, but they got a much tighter grip on the reigns by adding two important points.
Heading into the tilt against Phoenix, Sports Club Stats gave the Blues a 95-96% chance of making the playoffs. This number varied based on other results from around the Western Conference. Following their 2-1 shootout win over the Coyotes, their odds rose to 99.2%.
The Blues have just five games left on their schedule. Of these five, four are at home (Dallas, Colorado, Calgary and Chicago) while one is on the road in Colorado against the Avalanche. With home ice being an obvious advantage, it certainly doesn't hurt that the Blues take on the worst team in the West (Avalanche) twice before the regular season concludes.
While the Blues still might miss the playoffs if they start slumping at the wrong time and other teams heat up, it's clear that their destiny resides squarely in their own hands. Pick up a couple more points and you're in. It's that simple. Win and you're in.
Now, let's get a bit ahead of ourselves. Let's look ahead to the Cup just for the fun of it. If you recall, the Blues had 16/1 odds to win the Stanley Cup heading into the season. These odds were found on numerous online betting sites, which thanks to the launch of topbettingreviews.com, it's been easy to track all of the online odds and lines as they've shifted during the course of the season. Currently, the odds are quite different in Vegas, so hopefully if you're a betting man (I'll admit, I'm not when it comes to sports) that you held off putting your money on your favorite squad. The Blues are sitting at 25/1 to hoist the Cup as of this week.
But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

CNN: "I would tend not to," Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana said Sunday on cnns State of the Union when asked whether she would support a public health insurance option included in health care reform bills passed by committees in the House of Representatives. "But, we've got to keep working to find solutions," Landrieu added.
Sen. Mary Landrieu (d-La) has is aiding Republicans and insurance companies by opposing a "Public Option" on Health Care in America. She uses all of the Republican catch-phrases: "private industry", "private competition", and "lowering costs" for poor people. Landrieu is in a mostly-red state, and is terrified of losing her seat by doing what is best for the American people; including the poor and the working-poor. This is the same leadership that Louisiana received during hurricane Katrina. The Bush Republicans weren't the only "problems" that made the whole situation even worse. Landrieu has been a Democrat In Name Only since her initial election to the Senate, so there's no reason why she would be any different now. People of Louisiana....if you want a Republican...elect one. But please, rid the Congress of this particular person.

Detectives were speaking this morning with Lisa Dawn Prater, 48, who lives at the house and who was being treated for gunshot wounds to an arm and leg that were described as non-life threatening.
Police said James Levels, 64, was killed. He had an address on Beal Street N.W. where he lived in an apartment.
Lt. Jeff Cole said he wasn't aware of the relationship between the victims. Both were found in the bedroom of the house.

Levels was shot several times in the chest, according to police. Prater is reported to be in stable condition in Trumbull Memorial Hospital.
An initial report Monday night said witnesses spoke of two young white males wearing masks or bandanas who ran from the scene.
Updates will be posted. Complete coverage will appear in Wednesday's Tribune Chronicle print and electronic editions.

TENNERTON - It may take a while for the Lady Bucs' engine to get going, but when it gets revved up, it explodes. For the second consecutive game, Buckhannon-Upshur labored through the early minutes only to begin scoring goals in rapid-fire fashion Wednesday night.
B-U scored five goals in a 10-minute span late in the first half, setting the tone for a convincing 7-0 home victory over Big 10 Conference foe Robert C. Byrd. Hannah Stankus was the key offensive player on the night, scoring three of her game-high four goals during the first half surge.
"It seems like it takes a while to get going, and a lot of that is the timing with our passes early on," Buckhannon-Upshur coach Tom Hasbrouck said. "We started slowly in the Musselman game last Saturday also, but once we broke through, the offense began producing."

The Inter-Mountain photo by Andrew Ferguson
Buckhannon-Upshur's Lindsey Beets looks to get past Robert C. Byrd's Eryn Dumire Wednesday night the Lady Buccaneers' 7-0 win in Tennerton.
Lindsey Beets opened the scoring 26 minutes into the contest, scoring unassisted goal off a rebound. From there, the goals came quick.
Stankus delivered explosively, finding the net three times in the next four minutes. The first came off a corner kick from Emily Godwin that was touched to Stankus from Haley Ware.
The second was an unassisted rebound off the Lady Eagles' goalkeeper, and the final tally of the onslaught was a combo from Beets and Jessica Feronti. Godwin closed the half's scoring off an assist from Brooklyn Waddell.
B-U added two second-half goals. Stankus scored her final tally of the night on a through ball from Godwin, who scored the final goal on a cross from Beets.
Kelsey Hinzman collected three saves in goal for the Lady Bucs, stopping each chance from the Lady Eagles as B-U outshout RCB 16-3. The Lady Bucs also led in corner kicks, 8-1. Robert C. Byrd goalkeeper Victoria Carvelli gathered eight saves.
Buckhannon-Upshur will hit the road Saturday to face Class AAA power George Washington in a key non-conference game at noon.
The Lady Bucs improved to 3-1 overall with the win. RCB falls to 2-3 on the season.

TENNERTON?- Buckhannon-Upshur's defense produced its second consecutive shutout Wednesday night, stifling Big 10 Conference foe Robert C. Byrd for a tight 1-0 victory. B-U shutout Musselman Saturday, 3-0.
"This one was a total team effort," Buckhannon-Upshur coach Mike Donato said. "We were under a lot of pressure through most of the first half, and we did a great job of making plays and getting the ball cleared. And at the end, Chris (Orwig) saved us in goal."
Indeed, Orwig made two critical saves in the last five minutes of regulation, stopping shots from point-blank range. The final save came was a missile from only eight yards out with one minute remaining in the contest.
"You have to give RCB a lot of credit," Donato said. "They have some speed and athleticism, and they played a fast game."
B-U held its own in the first half and scored the game's lone goal in the 12th minute. Marty Elliott delivered a strong shot from 18 yards out off an assist from Josh Tenney.
In the second half, the ball spent most of the time on the B-U side, as Orwig and his defense withstood a constant flow of pressure. In the end, RCB won the statistical battle, outshooting the Bucs 10-7.
The Eagles had five corner kicks to only one for Buckhannon-Upshur. RCB's Cory Carvelli produced six saves, while Orwig snared 10.
The win was a bit of poetic justice for B-U. In their season opener against Brooke, the Bucs were on the opposite end of a similar contest, muscling the stat sheet and producing more shots, but falling a goal short on the scoreboard.
"We committed to staying tight defensively in the second half," Donato said. "They made some adjustments on us and we countered with some moves to answer that. Our kids did a good job of hustling and making the plays they had to."
Buckhannon-Upshur improves to 2-2 on the season and will remain home to face Shady Spring on Saturday. Game time is slated for 1 p.m.

An arbitration award for Maui County police officers will cost $2.75 million more this fiscal year and a grand total of $26.6 million more over four years, according to Budget Director Sandy Baz.
The county has no choice but to pay.
"We have to," Baz said, because Maui County, just like the state's other four counties, must pay what an arbitration panel decided in early July for base pay and other benefits for members of the State of Hawaii Organization of Police Officers.
In Maui County, there are 332 sworn, uniformed police officers. They had been working without an updated contract since July 1, 2011. The arbitrated award covers the six years from July 1, 2011, to June 30, 2017. There was no pay increase for the first two years of the contract, but there are across-the-board pay hikes in subsequent years. Other benefits are increased in the new contract.
The costs to the county include base pay increases for officers, higher "standard of conduct" differential pay for their work while off-duty, a hike in the officers' gun allowance and additional costs for health benefits, Baz said.
The overall additional costs per fiscal year, when compared to last fiscal year, break down like this:
* $2.75 million for fiscal 2014, from July 1, 2013, to June 30, 2014.
* $5.1 million for fiscal 2015, from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015.
* $8 million for fiscal 2016, from July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016.
* $10.76 million for fiscal 2017, from July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2017.
The County Council's Budget and Finance Committee will consider the police officers' pay raises as budget cost items during a meeting beginning at 1:30 p.m. Thursday in the eighth-floor Council Chambers of the Kalana O Maui building.
This fiscal year, Maui County has budgeted enough to cover the higher raises and benefits for officers, Baz said. For subsequent years, the county may need to look at reducing its costs or increasing revenue.
Mayor Alan Arakawa said there are numerous factors to be considered to determine how the county will afford the higher labor costs.
And those are not only for police officers, he pointed out. The county also is awaiting the results of new employee contracts for firefighters and members of the Hawaii Government Employees Association's Unit 13, which are white-collar office workers, he said.
"We have those contracts yet to be completed," he said. "We don't know what the final numbers are going to be, even for this year."
Hopefully, the county already has budgeted enough money to cover all employee wages and benefits, Arakawa said.
The county's current budget for the year is more than half a billion dollars ($559 million), and each budget-drafting cycle takes into account overall costs and revenue, the mayor said.
The county's revenue base for next fiscal year remains unknown, but whatever the cost of salaries, "we're going to have to make that adjustment," the mayor said. "We're going to go through a whole budget process."
Those drafting the county's budget will need to assess its obligations and then prioritize spending, he said.
"We don't know, and we won't know until next year," he said. "It's very hard to predict."
Meanwhile, Arakawa said the county is making strides to reduce its costs by, for example, installing photovoltaic electric systems that draw power from the sun and reduce electricity bills.
Another cost savings could come from plans for a trash-to-energy program, he added.
The county may need to delay equipment purchases, he said. Or, the county may need to raise fees or property taxes.
However, island real estate prices are rising, which would lead to higher property valuations and more money for the county that could offset additional costs, Arakawa said.
"I know what the trends are," he said. "(But) they are merely trends and projections. They're not real numbers I can hang my hat on."
He noted that economists believe that Maui County has some "very good years in the near future."
And, "Maui County is in better shape (financially) than any other county in the state," he said.
Elsewhere in the state, other counties have "challenges greater than ours," he said.
