Biography of René Descartes
René Descartes (March 31, 1596 February 11, 1650), also known as Renatus Cartesius (latinized form), was a highly influential French philosopher, mathematician, scientist, and writer. Dubbed the "Founder of Modern Philosophy", and the "Father of Modern Mathematics", much of subsequent western philosophy is a reaction to his writings, which have been closely studied from his time down to the present day. His influence in mathematics is also apparent, the Cartesian coordinate system being used in plane geometry and algebra is named after him, and he was one of the key figures in the Scientific Revolution. Descartes frequently contrasted his views with those of his predecessors. In the opening section of the Passions of the Soul, a treatise on the Early Modern version of what are now com...

Waterford man pushes for water merger, says he'll change his vote on chip plant extension
WATERFORD -- A member of the Waterford Township Water and Sewer Authority who voted against a waterline extension to the former Troyer Farms plant is now saying he'll reverse his vote if local officials commit to merging two water authorities.
Pat Long said he will change his vote on the 7,000-foot water and sewer line extension KLN Family Brands hopes to build from "no" to "yes" if officials from the borough of Waterford and the borough's water authority sign a letter of intent to consider merging township and borough water.
Long plans to distribute copies of the letter at a special meeting of the Waterford Township supervisors tonight. That meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Fort LeBoeuf Middle School, 865 Cherry St.
Supervisors plan to vote on superseding the water authority's earlier vote to pave way for KLN's opening and later expansion.

German Lawsuit Loss Forces Apple to Cut Verboten iPad, iPhone Feature
Jason Mick
February 24, 2012 11:08 AM
comment(s) - last by
Feb 27
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Push-email is likely gone from the iCloud for at least a year
It is a small thing. But as Apple, Inc. (
) well knows, it is the little things that sell a product.
I. Bye Bye Bye
Apple had
proudly unveiled the iCloud
in mid-2011. The service offers photo streaming, documents "in the cloud", automated backups, and push email/calendar/contacts. Well, for Germany, Europe's third largest tablet and smartphone market, the good times are over, as the push email functionality is officially banned.
After new Google Inc. (
Motorola Mobility
secured a preliminary injunction
just weeks ago in German court, Apple failed to convince a judge to inflate the bond. As a result, Motorola paid the bond to carry through with the ban. Some sources are estimating that bond could have cost around €100M ($134.1M USD).
The iCloud's core push-email is verboten in Germany. [Image Source: 9 to 5 Mac]
Left with little recourse, Apple was left doing the same thing it had forced Android phonemakers to do -- remove features. To recap, Apple has already forced several Android phonemakers to remove the "bounce" animation from their smartphones, and degrade the quality of scrolling in their gallery. Those concessions come after preliminary injunction losses
in regions such as the Netherlands
. And in Germany Apple has even
banned Motorola and Samsung
Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) from using
unidirectional slide-to-unlock
, forcing them to use a clunky spiral motion unlock screen.
to its German fans the bad news:
Due to recent patent litigation by Motorola Mobility, iCloud and MobileMe users are currently unable to have iCloud and MobileMe email pushed to their iOS devices while located within the borders of Germany.
Affected customers will still receive iCloud and MobileMe email, but new messages will be downloaded to their devices when the Mail app is opened, or when their device periodically fetches new messages as configured in iOS Settings. Push email service on desktop computers, laptop computers, and the web is unaffected, as is service from other providers such as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
Apple believes Motorola's patent is invalid and is appealing the decision.
Apple's calendar and contacts syncing will continue to function as normal in iCloud and MobileMe, despite the loss of push email.
II. Why Was the iCloud Feature Banned, and What Is Next?
The device maker faces an uphill struggle from here on out. Like many of Apple's patents that it's litigated with, Motorola's push email patent may be invalid due to prior art or other issues (novelty, etc.).
In the U.S., a lower federal courts judges can ban a product or service via preliminary injunction if they feel that:
a) The described product or service clearly violates the patent
b) There is
a "high likelihood" that a patent is invalid.
The German court system works slightly differently, but the end result is the same. In Germany infringement proceeds along one track, while validity proceeds along a second, parallel track [source]. A judge can pause (stay) the infringement proceedings to wait for the conclusion of the validity, but only if there
a "high likelihood" of their validity.
Again, both systems rely on the premise of a "high likelihood" of invalidity, which is typically defined at somewhere around 70 to 80 percent. Of course this is wholly subjective, meaning how one judge might rule could vary substantially from what another judge might rule.
For now Apple's iPads and iPhones have been crippled of a key feature, much as Apple has crippled its competitors. Apple's next soonest hope of killing the painful ruling comes when it pleads its case before the
Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court
, a German appeals court. The appeals court has a lower standard of invalidity to grant a stay -- it can grant a stay if it feels that there's over a 50 percent chance of invalidity.
iPhone owners must live with the ban, likely for at least a year. [Image Source: Tech Axcess]
However, the issue for Apple is that the appeals court likely won't hear the case for at least a year -- ironically, a delay which may in part be lengthened due to all the appeals Apple has generated in its its own injunction
over Android phonemakers. And, of course, there's no guarantees that the appeals court will even see the patent as 50 percent or more likely to be invalid.
The Android v. Apple patent dispute is increasingly looking like a stalemate of growing attrition. Everyone is losing -- especially the customers -- as features disappear from both sides' products. And there's little sign that the leadership on either side is willing to offer an end to the conflict.
Note 1:
The higher invalidity standard is in major contrast with other EU nations, such as the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Note 2:
The push-email patent used in this case is
a patent promised under the "fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory" (FRAND) rules. Thus, unlike
some other recent rulings
-- such as a German ban on online iPad/iPhone sales -- Motorola stands no risk of
getting in trouble for FRAND abuse
for its effort (as, again, the patent is not FRAND).
Note 3:
The patent involved in this ruling is
EP (European Patent) 0847654 (B1)
. The U.S. counterpart:
U.S. Patent No. 5,754,119
, which covers a "multiple pager status synchronization system and method".

Wow... some people here really need to get a clue...
Wow, lots of crazy Apple-haters here.
First off, anybody looking at a Samsung tablet or smartphone running Android can readily ascertain that Samsung and Google completely ripped-off Apple's design and interface both in hardware and software. If you don't see that, you're blind. Apple has every right to sue the heck out of Samsung and Google for blatantly stealing their ideas. It used to be Microsoft that was the copycat, now it's Google and Samsung. I give props to Microsoft for a change for at least creating something different with Windows 8 (even if they borrowed interface ideas from things like Flipboard-- at least they stopped copying Apple.)
Second, if you think Google is innocent in all this, you really need to do your research. Why do you think Steve Jobs mentioned "going nuclear" on Android? He was obviously angry. Why? How do you think Google was able to get Android to market before other Apple competitors? Simple; Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt completely back-stabbed Apple (and Steve Jobs) after he became an Apple board member. He was a trusted partner with Apple. He sat on Apple's board of directors... and was privy to all the iPhone intellectual property before it was even released. After Google finally acknowledged that they would be creating their own operating system (Android) to compete with the iPhone iOS, he had no choice but to step down from Apple's board of directors, but the damage to Apple had already been done as he basically stole the blueprints to much of Apple's future products.
And Samsung? They built many of the components for Apple and also were a trusted partner with whom Apple shared many future plans. They used that information from Apple to build almost identical hardware devices. Fortunately for Apple, Google's Android operating system still prevents Samsung's hardware from functioning as well as an iPhone, although it isn't terrible. Add to that the fact that Apple has little recourse to attack Google and Android directly since Google isn't charging for Android (they are profiting off of advertising being directed to their search engine by the freely licensed Android OS) and Samsung becomes a viable lawsuit target to prevent the continued theft of Apple's intellectual property.
So for those of you that blame Apple and think that Apple started this war, think again.
RE: Wow... some people here really need to get a clue...
"Why do you think Steve Jobs mentioned "going nuclear" on Android? He was obviously angry. "
I don't want to speak ill of the dead so I will start with a good comment. Steve was brilliant and a fantastic businessman. He definitely changed the industry for the better and we all benefit from that, whether we buy Apple products or not the world is a better place for him.
As far as why he declared tm war on Google... The man was also start raving mad. He had a major Napoleon complex. Narcissistic to the highest possible extent. It wasnt exactly veiled either. He had a tiny e-penis and overcompensating for it.
"We're Apple. We don't wear suits. We don't even own suits." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

Ducks send three back to AHL affiliate
ANAHEIM -- The Ducks on Thursday reassigned center David Steckel and defensemen Alex Grant and Nolan Yonkman to the Norfolk Admirals, their affiliated team in the American Hockey League.
The move was made amid improving health reports on defenseman Francois Beauchemin and center Mathieu Perreault, who both said they expect to play Sunday against Edmonton after recovering from respective injuries.
Beauchemin and Perreault were among those that took part in an optional workout at Anaheim Ice.
Defenseman Mark Fistric also practiced and is likely to be available after sitting out Wednesday's game against Minnesota due to an upper-body injury that forced him out of the Ducks' 5-2 win over the New York Islanders on Monday.
Steckel didn't register a point in four games but won 58.3 percent of his faceoffs. Grant scored his second goal in as many shots in just his second NHL game Wednesday as the Ducks beat Minnesota, 2-1.
Yonkman did not play during his latest call-up as he was brought in Wednesday to serve as an extra defenseman in case another injury to the defense corps.

Learning the basics of architectural security
Storming the Bastille
Security applications like antivirus protectors respond to events, rather than preventing them from happening, but the best security in Linux is architectural – that is, in its configuration.
Architectural security – security through system configuration – is often compromised by distributions for short-term convenience; it requires expert knowledge as well. That's where Bastille Linux comes in, helping you improve security while educating you about the basics.
Despite the name, Bastille is not a distribution but a hardening program. It was first written more than a decade ago by security expert Jay Beale, and now has a network of maintainers who keep it available for a number of Linux distributions and Unix-like operating systems, including Debian, Ubuntu, and Gentoo, as well as older releases of Red Hat, Fedora Core, and SUSE. Packages are available in some distribution's repositories, and the source code is also available.

The first-year writing seminar (FYW) provides Furman students transitional (you're not in HS anymore) and foundational (preparing you how to learn and communicate) opportunities for their entire college experience and beyond. What can I expect from my first year seminar at Furman? First-Year seminars are not introductory courses for a particular department or field. They introduce you to the whole liberal-arts experience. Seminars incorporate content specific to the topic of the course primarily as a means to spark your intellectual curiosity and reinforcing your analytical and communication skills. They are not experiences designed to address a major field of study or an eventual career. The first-year seminar should encourage you to be an agent of your own learning. They are an introduction to the ways of thinking, reading, and writing that will enable you to succeed at Furman. Writing is a form of thinking and ideas are inextricable from their written expression. First-year writing seminars will provide you many opportunities for critical thinking and logical argument through writing and revision. Writing seminars strive to develop your writing and revision techniques through the use of writing workshops, student-teacher conferences, peer-editing, with lots of time devoted to teacher and peer feedback during the drafting process. The first-year writing seminars will also address other key information associated with academic writing, such as research skills, citation formatting, grammar and punctuation, and academic integrity.

Is that a quip on my protein intake or attitude? (both I suppose )

I'm not even sure what this discussion is about anymore, but I consume whey isolate protein powder about 4 times a week and I'm still around to tell about it. I just choose the least junky kind I can find, sweetened with Stevia. Makes great creamy coconut milk and berry smoothies.
I still think real food is better, but this is my one and only sweet treat and I'm not giving it up.
So now you're a magic underwater monkey? How miraculously long can you hold your breath, oh great one?I got enough oxygen to hold my breath, you don't because your too acidic.
And I'm sorry your stomach is broken, but I digest ALL my protein. I'm eating a pound of bacon right now, and it's all going to dissolve quite nicely, like it always does. Maybe if I ate a bunch of fruit I'd have problems, but I don't, so I won't.
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.

The Blue Blur. The Fastest Thing Alive.
Sonic the Hedgehog has gotten a lot of cool nicknames over the years. I guess that's what happens when you save the world on a nearly annual basis. But for me the only thing I've ever called him is my friend, my best friend.
Oh geeze, I haven't even told you who I am yet! Sorry about that, I sometimes get ahead of myself. I'm Miles, but everyone knows me better by my own nickname, Tails. Sonic just got finished celebrating his birthday recently, and when you're as popular as he is, it's kind of big news. So if you haven't already, then pretty soon you're going to hear a lot of cool stories about how Sonic has stopped Dr. Eggman's diabolical plans over the years. And they are pretty cool. I know that pretty well since I've been there first hand for most of them. Heck, the last time I was there twice as much as usual. Time travel is weird like that.
Anyway, my point is that you're going to find out about a lot of heroic acts of Sonic, and rightfully so. Saving the world is kind of a big deal. But if that's the only thing you know about Sonic, you're not hearing the fully story. If that's the only side you know of Sonic, then you don't know him at all. What truly makes him worth talking about are not only the adventures he's had, but the person he's been and continues to be. Those moments that go unnoticed by most, but are just as important.
Just after the defeat of Perfect Chaos, while Station Square was still rebuilding from the fallout of that battle, a grand celebration was had. The streets were lined as Sonic and his pals, including yours truly, walked by and waved at people we'd never even met before. Part of the festivities included complimentary chilidogs, a Sonic-approved delicacy. One especially excited kid, wearing a Sonic shirt with chilidog in tow, was waving at Sonic. Unfortunately in the busyness of the crowd he was bumped by other bystanders. His chilidog went flying. In a literal flash the chilidog was back in the kids hand. Having saved the day Sonic gave the kid a pat on the head and returned to the street. The grin the kid had on his face couldn't have possibly been wider.
"Can't let a good dog go to waste!" he quipped as he returned to the group.
Years earlier, in what was my first adventure with Sonic, the conflict ended with the destruction of the Death Egg in orbit above the planet. Miraculously he not only survived the explosion, but also re-entry into the atmosphere. He still refuses to tell me how he pulled that one off.
I manage to pinpoint his location during his freefall and flew him to safety with The Tornado, my trusty bi-plane. After landing he's greeted with cheers from all the animal friend he'd saved along the way, like Locky, Tocky and Wocky. Understandably things got hectic and we got separated in the crowd. Everyone had ground around him and, well, suddenly I went from sidekick to outsider. This was a Sonic moment, I knew that, but I still felt left out.
It wasn't until later when we were flying back home on The Tornado that my spirits were lifted. Sonic isn't one for speeches, and even when he's serious he has to put a humorous spin on things. But somehow he must've picked up on how I felt.
"By the way, partner, you owe me one" he exclaimed out of nowhere.
"What? Why do I owe you…?" I responded, quite perplexed.
"Those guys went nuts when we landed! Eggman's giant robot was a cakewalk compared to that! The next time we let one of us pretend to be the hero, I'm gonna let YOU be the one stuck in that mess!"
He pointed at me with a smirk, then folded his arms behind his head and closed his eyes for a quick nap the rest of the trip back. He'd just saved the day yet again.
I could go on, there are plenty of anecdotes about Sonic similar to this, but I just wanted to help fill in some blanks as to why this guy, a guy who can run really fast and could get out of any situation imaginable just by running away, would stick around and risk everything when nobody asked him to.
Whether he's your hero, rival, or just your best pal, I hope I helped you get a better understanding of the true blue character that is Sonic the Hedgehog.

Robert Sonneman pioneered modern lighting, making it an art form. For over thirty years his world-famous lighting designs have been the subject of numerous articles, museum and international exhibitions on design. Many SONNEMAN designs have become classics of the modern era. They are regularly seen in major movie and television productions. SONNEMAN's passion for contemporary design extends to many other categories of the home as he continues to create innovative solutions for the way we live.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CA from Beautiful light We were looking for something modern and sleek for our hallways, but not too pricey. This is very attractive and fit the bill. Unlike many fixtures there is no globe that needs to be unscrewed every time the bulb needs to be changed. Which is great! The only thing I found disappointing. Is that the special bulb was not included. Otherwise it's great!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from looks great and casts a nice light i bought one of these lights for a pass thru area in my house and loved it so much that i ordered 2 more for an upstairs hallway. was delivered within a week and an easy installation. i would recommend this product

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Very Pretty but requires special chromed bulb, which is NOT included The light fixture I like very much. We got it for our condo, which is being remodeled. Once completed, it will be rented out since it is on the coast and the season has started. Unfortunately, the fixture requires a half chromed bulb, maybe 60 watt or 100 watt but it is not included. Try getting this at home depot in Galveston. So I got online and while I found the bulbs, which are relatively inexpensive. Anyway, in the meantime, we will need to leave it with a CFL, which is not what this fixture is designed for and does not look that great. Ylighting's website does not mention this even though the fixture costs a lot. Two weeks later I have the bulbs but we live in Houston so I don't know when I will get the correct bulb in the fixture and see what the fixture is supposed to look like. Why Why Why did they not give us the option to get the bulb - A lot of time and trouble.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Perfect for my needs. My architect recommended this ceiling light and it's perfect for my foyer. We were looking for something attractive, modern and stylish yet not overbearing. This light was just that. It was also moderately priced which was important. I highly recommend it!

Other case studies and ideas
Don Wilkinson writes:
The idea of the Nutbrook CC Management Committee preparing a dinner for their tea ladies started around six or seven years ago when it was suggested that instead of just presenting the ladies with a token gift at the annual presentation evening we would prepare them a meal and at the same time show that the lads could cook.
It was recognised a few years ago that the other under unsung heroes of any cricket club, the groundsmen, should be recognised in the same way and were invited along.
Arthur Fisher, at the time the chairman, groundsman and longest serving member of Nutbrook, started the ball rolling by offering to cook his now legendry spaghetti bolognese and since then other cooks have added their speciality dishes to the menu which includes a starter, main course and pudding.
The guests have pre-dinner drinks on arrival, the meal served with wine and finishes with coffee and chocolates.
The lads really enjoy this event and always try to present something different each year and we believe that as well as recognising and bringing volunteers together it ensures that we have tea ladies for the coming season.
Steve – thinking gets the job done:
Steve's ability to think 'outside of the box', coupled with his enthusiasm and commitment, marks him out as an outstanding volunteer. As an example 1, he has is organised the Club Committee on a task, rather than role basis. Tasks are broken down to manageable time and limited objectives. Things therefore get done.
As example 2, to overcome a tea preparation crisis, he forged a partnership with the local church: the ladies who are fronting the tower restoration fund now prepare cricket teas in return for a contribution by the Club to the fund. As example 3, he created a new fundraising scheme for the club. Each member donates an unwanted 'collectable' from their home. Steve auctions them off on Ebay to the benefit of the club funds.
David – designing a coaching resource:
David is a teacher in a school in Halifax and was frustrated by the problems posed by having to teach large numbers of youngsters to bat on poor surfaces in a short amount of time. He went away and designed a coaching aid that is called the 'cricket coaching mat' that has led to a revival of schools cricket in Yorkshire.
It allows a player to play any one of 16 cricket shots at a rate of 100 times in just 10 minutes on perfect batting surface. Alongside this, he has produced a video that coaches youngsters the skills and techniques to play the 16 different shots. The coaching advice also comes in the form of 16 audio tracks and a 16 page written / photo manual. He has also made a web site www.cricketcoachingmats.com where anybody who signs in can download the coaching manual for free and also ask David for advice on any cricketing problems they might have.
He arranged for former Leicestershire players to come and coach his youngsters and this year under his guidance, three lads have been picked to play for Leicestershire U9 - the first time from the club, which is a parks team playing grassroots cricket.
Recently, in a bid to tackle falling numbers of players aged 16-plus at the club, because of a lack of other U17 teams to play, he introduced a new rule at senior level cricket ensuring that the Sunday 3rds must contain at least seven youth members. As a result players aged 16-plus have increased and a new 'father and son' team has been established with the team now entering into its own league.

When I went vegan, I thought grilled cheese was out of my reach. Of course I could use one of the commercially made vegan cheeses on the market, but I don't think their ingredients are ideal. So I was left to create a vegan grilled cheese from whole food ingredients. We have been using our dairy free cheese sauce in many recipes lately, so I thought I would test it out by making this vegan grilled cheese. It's not only good, but the caramelized onions boost it into awesomeness.
Adzuki Bean Veggie Burgers
I love veggie burgers. It seems you readers love them too because my Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers is one of the most popular recipes on the blog. As you may know, most store bought versions are not very healthy. That's why I make my own. So much cheaper too! These adzuki bean veggie burgers are my latest creation.
My younger daughter Olive loved these! She is mostly tube fed and still learning how to eat by mouth so it was kind of a big deal to see her stuffing this into her mouth. You can read more about her in the About Me section of the blog. We liked these so much that I made a second batch yesterday. Adzuki beans are mainly grown in East Asia. They are tiny red beans, but don't let the size fool you. These little beans are packed with healthy nutrients. They are high in iron, potassium and folic acid. I got mine out of the bulk bins at Whole Foods.
Adzuki Bean Veggie Burgers
Prep time:
Cook time:
- 3 cups cooked adzucki beans
- ½ cup cooked quinoa
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ an onion chopped fine
- 3 carrots chopped fine
- 4 T bbq sauce
- salt to taste
- 1 flax egg
- 2 T water
- 2 T oil (I used avocado oil)
- Preheat oven to 400.
- In a saute pan, saute the onions and carrots in the oil on med/high heat for about 5-10 minutes.
- In a food processor, pulse the beans several times until they are half mashed.
- In a bowl, mix the quinoa, beans, onions, carrots, garlic, bbq sauce, egg and water until everything is incorporated.
- Add the salt to taste.
- Using your hands, form patties and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for about 30 minutes.

Make this the year YOU get fit
Are you ready to feel better about yourself? Are you ready to feel more powerful and in control of your own life and body? Are you ready to run 3.1 miles in the Erie Runners Club/Her Times women's 5K run/walk on Oct. 6?
What? You're not? It's OK; we're here to help. Whether you plan to walk or run, there is plenty of time to get in shape before race day. Take a look at the training program online at www.hertimes.com -- even couch potatoes can handle a 2-mile walk. It doesn't matter how long it takes you to walk them.
You can do this.
Why should you? It will make you feel invincible. Physical fitness gives you strength -- physically, mentally and emotionally. It will change your life, if you let it.
But, don't take it from me. Just ask any of the women in the photo at right who took the challenge, participated in a Her Times 5K as their first race, and got hooked on running.
Here's what they had to say:
- "Nothing matches the feeling of empowerment you get when you finish the Her Times 5K with hundreds of women cheering you on, there's just nothing else like it." -- Tracy Jenks, 32, Erie, first race in 2009.
- "My sister and I did the Her Times race as our first race because it's just women, it's a very supportive race, doesn't matter if you're first or last, everyone cheers for everyone." -- Karen Manganaro, 53, Erie, first race in 2006. (Karen just ran the Boston Marathon.)
- "With all the women, it seems less competitive and more like a party (albeit a sweaty one)." -- Rhonda Berlin, 39, Millcreek, first race in 2008.
- "I like that they have inspirational messages written in chalk on the course and that they play music with all kinds of women power songs. It's really cool." Katie Berlin, 11, Millcreek, first race in 2011.
- "What I love about the Her Times race is the variety of women there. You will see that runners come in all ages, shapes and fitness levels, and that you'll fit in no matter what." -- Bethany Locke, 25, Harborcreek, first race in 2010.
You can be like them. You can be one of us. For details on training, go to www.HerTimes.com.

UCF Knights (9-4) vs. Ball State Cardinals (9-3)
Dec. 21, 7:30 p.m. ET, St. Petersburg, Fla. (ESPN)
UCF take from WolverineNation's Chantel Jennings: In its final season in Conference USA before it moves to the Big East, UCF exited its conference play with an overtime loss to Tulsa in the championship game. So, in a trip about 100 miles down the road the Knights will try to erase that memory with a win in the Beef 'O' Brady's St. Petersburg Bowl.
The Knights were a stalwart on defense this season, putting together the conference's best scoring defense (22.5 points/game), best pass defense (217.8 yards/game) and second best in both total defense (380.2 yards/game) and redzone defense.
It will be the second time UCF takes the field in St. Petersburg as a part of the bowl and the fifth time in school history the Knights have gone bowling. And in its final bowl trip as a C-USA member it'll take on a team out of the conference that it will join next season, the Big East.
Pacing the Knights this season has been sophomore quarterback Blake Bortles, who could pass the 3,000-yard season passing mark in the bowl game. Despite making up for three of UCF's touchdowns, his 14-of-32 passing performance against Tulsa was one of his worst of the season (though the 30-plus mph winds might have had a part in that). The talented sophomore will look to build on his impressive season with a final win for C-USA.
Ball State take by Big Ten blogger Adam Rittenberg: Although Northern Illinois and Kent State received most of the attention during a historic season for the MAC, Ball State quietly put together a very successful run under second-year coach Pete Lembo. The Cardinals won their final six games, including triumphs against Toledo and Ohio, to match the third-highest victories total in team history.
Ball State boasts a dynamic offense that ranks 22nd nationally in total yards and 31st in scoring, and eclipsed 200 rushing yards seven times, including four times in the final five games. Talented sophomore running back Jahwan Edwards racked up 786 yards and nine touchdowns in the final six regular-season contests. Wide receiver Willie Snead ranks in the top 25 nationally in both receptions and receiving yards.
Ball State's defense struggles against the run (106th nationally), but the overall unit improved as the season went along. The Cardinals' only losses came at Clemson and against the two MAC frontrunners. Three of Ball State's six major bowl appearances have come in the past six seasons, although the Cardinals are still searching for their first bowl victory.

Abstract Dynamic interaction between a building-foundation system and the supporting soil can significantly alter the earthquake response of the building depending on the characteristics of the system and the ground motion. The California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program obtained a large number of building response records from the 1 October 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake. The instrumentation of a 14-story warehouse building included the nearby ground motion. Using this data, this study demonstrates that soil-structure interaction reduces the maximum base shear force in the building. Image Caption

VFC continues to underperform the consumer index. Quick upside to $60. Recall: stock was trading at $68 going into earnings several weeks ago.I bet that VFC can make this newly lowered guidance. And if next datapoint is beat/raise, stock heading back to $68 in a hurry.And the best part? You collect a rock-solid 4.3% while you wait..
This board's dead. Thankfully the stock isn't. Good place to buy a long-term winner.

Did Wackenhut Strike Back?
George Wackenhut never was much a fan of investigative journalism.
The security mogul's 800-page commissioned biography The Quiet American is practically framed as a condemnation of the field. The book's introduction decries the media coverage of a 1991 congressional investigation into the company's shady surveillance tactics in some rather colorful language. "This copy was written fast and dirty. By kids. Kids who were either too lazy or too rushed or too oblivious to write news that reflects balance and perspective."
The alleged actions of Wackenhut's namesake company, prior to the September 6th publication of a New Times investigation, may explain why the Quiet American so disliked nosy media types. Wackenhut's contract with Miami-Dade County's Juvenile Assessment Center terminated on July 31st. Since then, the county has mysteriously granted the company a five-month emergency extension of their agreement.
Six days before the New Times investigation hit the stands, the company informed seven guards at the JAC that they no longer qualified for their positions. The new contract, these employees were allegedly told, called for guards with three years of U.S. law enforcement experience. Some of the guards removed from the facility were demoted and remanded to lower-paying posts, though they'd ostensibly done nothing wrong.

Of the seven employees removed from the JAC, four had provided taped statements to an investigator collecting evidence for the plaintiff suing Wackenhut for a bum termination. In these statements, the employees testified that Wackenhut had understaffed and over billed the county facility for nine years — and all of these statements were included in the New Times investigation.
Why the county has suddenly determined to require three years of law enforcement experience is anyone's guess. Calls to Wacknehut's attorney, the JAC, and the County office of Procurement were not returned.-Calvin Godfrey

Football is a team game. Eleven people on the field attempt to cooperate with each other, in the most efficient way possible, to defeat the opposing club's contingent. As often as it happens in the shared responsibility that undoubtedly goes with team-work, one or two team members seem to have more weight mounted on the shoulders.
Irrefutably, the weight is usually more pressing on the lone man burdened with guarding the goal—the last line of defence: the goalkeeper.
One of the most responsible positions in football, where a mistake can lead to catastrophe, the goalkeeper position has been occupied by an array of colorful characters—from the likes of Jorge Campos with his blindingly colorful attire, the immovable reliability of Edwin van der Saar, to the stunning reflexes and innovation of Lev Yashin and Gordon Banks.
Every club needs one of those characters, but not every club gets them— only the lucky ones and for a limited period of time.
Arsenal, as every other big club, has had a piece of the goalkeeping pie with several world-class keepers settling into the club during the years.
