Smell that? So do I.
It's the wonderful aroma of freshly printed ink -- and it's right there on my 2010 NCAA tournament bracket.
So, I've got mine. Now's the time for you to get yours ready for Selection Sunday.
In fact, print two! Fill one out before the selections to see how close you can predict what the committee will do, then have one at the ready for 6 p.m ET on Sunday to fill out the field as it is announced.
Here's the men's bracket for the 2010 NCAA tournament.
Also, if you're anxiously awaiting the women's field on Monday night, here's the women's bracket, too.
And don't forget: Campus Rivalry is the place to be on Sunday during CBS' selection show. Reid Cherner will be holding a live chat during and after the broadcast to dissect the juicy matchups, figure out which games look like an early upset and talk about which teams got the snub.
And we'll say our thanks that this isn't the year the NCAA tournament field expands to 96 teams.

Certification for Hospice and Palliative Medicine Specialists
Today, physicians specializing in hospice and palliative medicine have several certifications available to them beyond their primary board certification: ABMS, AOA, and HMDCB.
Since 2008, member boards of ABMS and AOA have certified 7,570 physicians in the specialty-level practice of hospice and palliative medicine.
In 2012, AAHPM recommended the creation of the Hospice Medical Director Certification Board (HMDCB) to administer a certification that is complimentary to ABMS and AOA certification but specific to the practice of hospice medicine. The HMDCB examination assesses additional expertise in the unique competencies to perform the role of a hospice medical director, such as regulatory, administrative, legal, ethical competencies, and clinical skills appropriate for hospice patients.
Maintaining Certification
AAHPM is committed to providing information and support for Maintenance of Certification and Osteopathic Continuous Certification.
Information for HMDCB's recertification will be available when it is developed. A number of educational opportunities and resources are offered for both for preparation and continuing education.
Value of Certification
Certification is widely considered the gold standard of expertise in medicine because of its unique physician-directed approach for assessing qualifications. While medical licensure sets the minimum competency requirements, board certification demonstrates a physician's expertise in a particular specialty and/or subspecialty of medical practice.
Although certification is sought and earned by physicians on a voluntary basis, it is recognized by government, healthcare systems, insurers, and patients themselves as an essential tool to judge that a physician has the knowledge, experience, and skills for providing quality health care within a given specialty or subspecialty.
AAHPM has supported certification by its members since 1996. The creation of the American Board of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (ABHPM) provided an independent organization charged with certifying physicians practicing hospice and palliative medicine.
In October 2006, ABHPM offered its last certification exam in Hospice and Palliative Medicine and phased out recertification and support of existing certifications when the field was officially recognized as a subspecialty by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) in 2006 and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) in 2007. AAHPM maintains the ABHPM certification database and provides verification (upon request) for diplomates through 2017.

It's been a while I've eaten out. The new adherence to a healthy diet is to blame. But you know I love food and trying out new places. Monday night I wandered to 36 Oak & Barley with Sonal Ved for a bloggers' dinner. Presenting an account in her voice:
Alice and I, match like cheese and cracker. While she is bursting with knowledge on fashion and all-things-girly; cooking and all-things-food are my forte. After a food riot at Le Pain Quotidien last year, Alice vowed to do more fun posts with me. Blog posts that involved lots of catching up, cake and calories. Back then, I didn't have a blog of my own, so we never really got down to business. But three months ago, I started whenharrymetcelery and we saw this as a good opportunity to go get together once again. Here is the first of the many to come.
Restaurant review: 36 Oak and Barley
It would be technically incorrect to start a food review with the last course first. But even after 12 hours of savouring your last bit of cloud-like panna cotta, if you are hazy-eyed, all is fair.
The vanilla panna cotta at 36 Oak and Barley is by far the best panna cotta that this city has dished up. Served with a homemade strawberry coulis, the bobbing, white dessert is gently flavoured, with a glossy texture. The panna cotta is topped with specs of real Madagascar vanilla beans and moist, basil seeds that add a light texture to the dish. The dessert is smooth on spooning and together with the strawberry sauce it has a sweet-sour taste that lingers for hours together. (Twelve, to be precise)
Photographs: Dhruvi Shah
The rest of the meal was a joy ride as well. Here are some highlights:
Since the philosophy behind the menu at 36 Oak and Barley is comfort food, we started our meal with dishes that spelt comfort for us. The first dish was a baked cottage cheese preparation that had chunks of soft paneer stuffed with chilli cream cheese and crusty parmesan cheese. The dish had prominent flavours of chilli from the cream cheese and sweetness from the pineapple chutney served alongside.
Alice especially enjoyed the hummus served with homemade pita crisps. It was also a good contender. The chickpea dip was served in its authentic form, without any external flavouring. With a garnish of black olives and smoked paprika, the appetizer had a generous portion size.
The tomato and basil soup was our favourite from the entire menu. The white-orange mass in the centre of the soup may look like a blob of butter, but after suspicious nudging, we discovered that it was a cold sorbet made out of oranges. The hot soup when paired with an icy sorbet, made up for an intriguing dish. Since both the components were flavourful and robust, we couldn't decide which one was more refreshing. Though Alice prefers to dilute the sorbet in the soup, I like to savour it one at time.
For mains, the menu has a fair share of vegetarian options. Alice, especially enjoyed the basil pesto dunked fettucini that was both aromatic and ideally flavoured. However, we wish it came with some crunchy vegetables that would have given the dish some texture variation.
Personally, I liked the potato rosti better. This Swiss specialty is made using grated, par-boiled potatoes and is generally served on its own. At 36 Oak and Barley, the dish comes a creamy mushroom accompaniment that is mildly sweet and chucky with bits of onions and button mushrooms.
You can reach them at: 76 Nidhi, August Kranti Marg, Near Gowalia Tank, Kemps Corner
For reservations call: 2381 1010 | Timing: Noon to 1 am
I hope you all had fun reading this post. We wish to do many more. If you visit 36 Oak & Barley, do share your thoughts on the place. Bye for now. Happy snacking!

Ummm I think the current list on the wiki is pretty comprehensive. If card/driver isnt listed on there, it would probably be a better idea to bring it to their attention so they might add it to that.
Allthough the effort is commendable, as previously stated all the information is in the wiki. Having lots of incomplete references just makes it hard to find the information needed.
As far as I could tell, the HCL was fairly BT2-specific which was why I didn't want to edit my changes into it.
Card compatibility under BT3 will vary with driver/kernel development between now and release given the progress on kernel.org (assuming BT3 final uses more recent v2.6). I intended to aggregate the scattered anecdotes, which could be used to track changes and later to assist BT3 final HCL (rather than browsing 300 threads).
Thanks for feedback; I'll zero the OP and edit the wiki instead.
I do think a new wiki page should be created to keep BT2 and BT3 discrete - some of my hardware works in BT2 but not BT3 and vice versa. Not my decision however.
Closed, thread now redundant as OP removed the list.

Guys, just got my car back, and sure enough they changed out the MECHATRONICS (MECHATRONIX? Ive seen it spelled both ways). Ive had the car for 3 days now and the surging problem is completely gone. Since the tech was able to re-create/witness the surging BMW covered the repair completely under my 100,000 mile extended warranty (and from what Ive read its about a $4000 fix). Like Ive posted before, I also had a friend with the same car and same issue and he ALSO had the Mechatronix changed out and it resolved the problem!
Have the tech RE-CREATE/WITNESS your problem then MENTION that you have read online about the Mechatronix problem. They SHOULD take care of it if youre still under warranty!

New York's Upper East Side now priciest U.S. address
NEW YORK (Reuters) - An exclusive area of New York's Upper East Side, where the median price for a home is $6.5 million and the most expensive will reach $40 million, has become the priciest address code in the United States, according to Forbes.
The tree-lined streets that border Central Park and the East River and run from E. 61th to E. 69th streets, home to media mogul Rupert Murdoch and cosmetic tycoon Ronald Perelman, bumped Alpine, New Jersey from its perch on the annual list.
"This is the first time that a Big Apple neighborhood has topped our list," Forbes said of the New York area with the ZIP code 10065. "The main factor driving listing prices in America's most expensive ZIP codes this year is lack of inventory."
Alpine, the affluent New Jersey neighborhood where the median house price is $5.75 million and its ZIP code is 07620, dropped to the No. 2 spot, followed by Atherton, in California's Silicon Valley with a 94027 postal code.
Sagaponack (11962), the Southampton village on Long Island in New York where singer Billy Joel and Goldman Sachs chief Lloyd Blankfein enjoy the summer sun, came in fourth for the second consecutive year. Hillsborough (94010), just south of San Francisco California, rounded out the top five.
Cities like New York, where demand is high and inventory is low, saw some of the highest increases in prices. A lack of properties in the city's trendy Greenwich Village (10014) pushed it into the top ten at No. 6, ahead of Beverly Hills (90210), California, which came in 12th.
Forbes compiled its list of priciest ZIP codes using Altos Research, the California-based company that tracks housing data. It calculated prices for single-family homes and condominiums. Co-ops were not included in the calculations and a rolling average for a 90-day period was used to smooth any wide variations.
"If you enter these markets as a buyer today, this is what you would experience," Michael Simonsen, chief executive of Altos Research told Forbes, "and if you are going to sell, this is your competition."
Forbes added that wealthy foreign buyers have helped push up prices as they look at cities like New York, Los Angeles, Seattle and Washington D.C. for a place to park their money. Continued...

Beefing a 8" makes a lot more sense then using a 80 to me.
you can get 80 rears with elocker/disk brakes for 600 bucks all day....if you feel the need to narrow it you will only need to do the long side...I would bet you would have less then 1100 bucks into it including gear change(if needed),shortened/respline axle and bracing(I dont believe its needed)....80 axles are some tough bastards...a decked out 80 wieghs in @ 7500lbs easy
Diamonds are nice but why go through that money for an 8" 3rd(it comes as a bare housing and all the little crap adds up quick...you will end up with a 2k rear axle)...be cheaper getting the TG housings and gaining some clearance

Central African Republic (CAR) hosts Sudanese refugees from Darfur as well as refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo. After decades of ethnic clashes and instability, CAR also holds close to 200,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs). As one of the few international NGO's in the region, International Medical Corps' interventions are critical to the health and wellbeing of refugees and IDPs.
We currently support 10 primary health facilities in CAR and provide comprehensive services in three northeastern provinces. International Medical Corps provides curative and preventive consultations, maternal and child health care, child protection, therapeutic and supplementary nutrition services, HIV/AIDS prevention, health education, gender-based violence prevention and response, and hygiene promotion to refugees, IDPs, and host communities in CAR. Since 2007, we have also provided assistance and protection to Darfurian refugees living in Sam Ouandja, approximately half of whom were transferred to Bambari town due to conflicts with local armed groups.
In addition, International Medical Corps works with refugees from CAR in Cameroon's Adamaoua and Eastern Provinces, where more than 80,000 refugees currently live.

Firoozeh Bazrafkan Convicted of Insulting Islam…in Denmark?
"I refuse to sign petitions for that book of his…"- Germaine Greer referring to Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses
"One person said he wanted to chop me up and feed me to his dogs. I reported it to the police but they didn't charge him because the threats weren't threatening enough." – Firoozeh Bazrafkan
According to The Copenhagen Post, artist Firoozeh Bazrafkan was fined 5,000 Kroner for "violating anti-racism legislation" after her blog entry was published in the Jyllands-Posten newpaper: "I am very convinced that Muslim men around the world rape, abuse and kill their daughters. This is, according to my understanding as a Danish-Iranian, due to a defective and inhumane culture – if you can even call it a culture at all. But you can say, I think, that it is a defective and inhumane religion whose textbook, the Koran, is more immoral, deplorable and crazy than manuals of the two other global religions combined."
Bazrafkan's statement is problematic because of its lack of quantifiers; she types all Muslim men as one entity. Watch the Academy Award winning film A Separation, not the over rated caricature laden Argo, to get a more accurate picture of Iranian society. Most Iranian men are decent folk, and it's poor art to focus on extremes as if they are the rule. But poor art is not racism.
The fact the Aarhus Police have found that she has committed racism worthy of a fine is by far more problematic. Islam is not a race. Racism is the belief in the inferiority and superiority of specific ethnic groups. Bazrafkan is criticizing culture and that's different. Furthermore, criticizing culture, religion or nationalism is arguably legitimate free speech. Calls for violence are the exception and not "free" speech.
Michel Focault, in his admiration of Khomeini's Revolution, set the stage for liberals like Germaine Greer to misread the dangers of fundamentalism. This conflict exploded after Salman Rushdie's fatwa, andsignaled the start of a new battle over what ideas can be tolerated. From 1989 to the present the polemics have intensified, and the cowering thought police has created a new form of European chauvinism, patronizing Moroccans, Persians, Afghans, Pakistanis and other minorities by not considering them worthy of secular government, women's rights, and Western liberty.
What must secular and/or ex-Muslims think when they see that criticism of religion, a crime under their own governments, faces similar restrictions in the governments of liberal dominated Europe? The Danish government's message to oppressed Muslims reads that they are not worthy of the same freedoms. Denmark has joined Bazrafkan's home country of Iran in censoring free speech, and this is a shame.
Naguib Mahfouz: "No blasphemy harms Islam and Muslims so much as the call for murdering a writer."
UPDATE: Denmark did it again, charging another Muslim – Danish Muslim Apostate Faces Hate Speech Charges

The line "Bazrafkan's statement is problematic because of its lack of quantifiers; she types all Muslim men as one entity." makes me think of the "holy" books which say that all atheists deserve to be tortured. I've never heard anybody say that the quran's statement is problematic because of its lack of qualifiers; it types all atheists as one entity.
Different standards….

New York Rangers News
After a tough battle, the New York Rangers are ending their season after losing the second round of playoffs 2-4. The Senators won the first two games, and then the Rangers came back to win and tie the series. Then, the two teams battled it out in Game 5. The Rangers were ahead, but then the Senators rallied to tie the game and send it into overtime. Unfortunately, the Senators were the ones to find the net and go home the victors. The Rangers tried to overcome a deficit in Game 6, but there were not able to change the momentum of the game. There is still plenty of action left around the NHL as the teams continue to play for the coveted Stanley Cup.
… more
The New York Rangers are competing against the Senators in the second round of the NHL playoffs. In the first game, the Rangers lost by one goal. Game 2 was a battle, going into double overtime until the Rangers fell once again, this time with a final score of 5-6. The Rangers turned things around in Game 3, taking the victory with a final score of 4-1. The Rangers will look to maintain the momentum when they play in Game 4 on May 4 at home. There are still tickets available for this game and the rest in the series, including Game 5 on May 6 and Game 6 and 7 if needed on the 9 and 11. Prices start at $228.
The New York Rangers did it! They were able to upset the Montreal Canadiens in the opening round of the NHL Playoffs. Despite back-to-back losses in games two and three, the Rangers rallied to earn three consecutive wins. Now, they are tasked with taking on the Ottawa Senators in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Once again, the other team will have the home rink advantage. Find out if New York can pull off yet another impressive upset to advance to the penultimate postseason series. Tickets to the game on Saturday, April 29, at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, ON, are on sale and available for prices as low as just $83.
In many cases, a fourth-place division finisher facing off against a division champion might appear to be a mismatch, but that hasn't been the case for the New York Rangers in their first-round Stanley Cup series with Montreal. After four games, the series was tied at 2-2, with the Rangers winning game 1 in Montreal, 2-0, ad prevailing in game 4 at home by the count of 2-1 on April 18. Defense was the name of the game for the Rangers in game 4. After Montreal opened the scoring in the first period, the Rangers didn't allow anything else into the net. Goalie Henrik Lindqvist was stellar in the goal, collected 23 saves.
To illustrate how competitive the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference was this season, one need only look at the New York Rangers. Though the team placed fourth in the division, its 102 points and 48-28-6 record was good enough for fifth-best in the East. Still, New York drew Atlantic Division champion Montreal for its first-round playoff game. In the best-of-seven series, Montreal has the home ice advantage. Playing on the road didn't seem to matter in game 1 on April 12. The Rangers shut out the Canadiens 2-0 behind the stellar play of the defense, led by goalkeeper Henrik Lundqvist. Tanner Glass and Michael Grabner scored goals for New York.
Although the Capitals already secured their spot at the top of the Metropolitan Division, the fight for a No. 2 seed is on between the New York Rangers and the other frontrunners of the pack. Getting a better seed is beneficial for New York, who will want the home ice advantage and the possibility of facing easier competition in the first round. The Rangers have two more games to go before regular season play ends; they'll head to Ottawa on Saturday, April 8, before taking on their season finale at home against Pittsburgh on April 9. Great seats can be yours when you purchase from us today—prices start at $53.
To illustrate how fiercely competitive the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference has been, the New York Rangers have the fifth-best record in the NHL. Three of the teams ahead of them are all in their own division. Those teams are Washington, Columbus and Pittsburgh. The other team is Chicago in the Central Division of the Western Conference. In fact, the Rangers have two more points than fellow Eastern conference team Montreal, which leads the Atlantic Division. The Rangers have already clinched a playoff spot. The team is 46-26-5 despite going 6-10 between Feb. 26 and March 28. New York wraps up the regular season with an April 9 game at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The New York Rangers battled it out with the Devils on March 21 before eventually falling in overtime. The Devils scored first, but just over a minute later, Oscar Lindberg scored to tie the game. However, it was not long before the Devils drew ahead. Minutes into the third period, Rick Nash scored to equalize, and the game went into overtime. The Rangers were unable to score, and the Devils got a goal to take the victory. The Rangers host the Islanders on March 22, and then they head to the West Coast to play the Kings, Ducks and Sharks on the 25, 26 and 28 respectively. Be sure to get your tickets now, with prices starting at $40.
In many divisions of the NHL, being in fourth place this late in the season would mean the chances of a division title or even a playoff spot would be a longshot. But in the ultra-competitive Metropolitan Division, the sky's the limit. Four teams in the division have at least 90 points, with the Rangers achieving that mark as of March 15. New York is just seven points out of first place. The team has a record of 44-24-2. If the Rangers were in the Atlantic Division, they would be four points ahead of the second-place team. New York is the fifth-leading scoring team in the NHL. The Rangers were 3-3 between March 2 and March 13.
At 31-17-1, the New York Rangers are within striking distance of the Metropolitan Division lead in the Eastern Conference. The Rangers have 63 points, good enough for fourth place. New York is two points behind third-place Pittsburgh, five points behind second-place Columbus and nine points behind first-place Washington. The Rangers are currently the second-highest goal-scoring team in the league, putting in 3.4 goals an outing. Last week, the Rangers went 2-1, with all three games behind decided by two or fewer goals. New York first squeaked by Detroit 1-0 in overtime. On Monday, the Rangers edged Los Angeles 3-2, thanks to goals from Brandon Pirri, Matt Puempel and Mats Zuccarello, along with solid goal keeping from Henrik Lunqvist. The Rangers fell to Philadelphia 2-0 on Wednesday.
The New York Rangers are holding tight to their fourth place position in the Metropolitan division. In fact, since they have won their last five of six games, the Rangers have actually climbed the charts. One of their biggest wins of the season was against the Columbus Blue Jackets on January 7. The Blue Jackets are a team this year that has been almost impossible to beat; however the Rangers took it to them on Saturday night. The Rangers pulled their offense together just in time when they scored three goals in the final minutes of the third period giving them the win. See them play again on January 13 against the Maple Leafs. Tickets are still available.
The New York Rangers managed to snap their losing streak and hold onto third place in the Metropolitan Division in their most recent game. They hosted the feisty Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night. Although the Senators took the early lead with three goals scored, the Rangers were able to fend them off and beat them 4 - 3 in the end. Not only did they put a stop to their losses, but also to the Senators' four-game winning streak. It was the epitome of excitement for fans in attendance. Catch New York when they host the Buffalo Sabres in their first home game of 2017 on Tuesday, January 3. Tickets are $109 and up.
Fans expected to see a good game when the New York Rangers hosted the Chicago Blackhawks, and that's exactly what was delivered. Rangers supporters were on the wrong side, unfortunately, but they still got to see why these are two of the best teams in the NHL. Neither team scored in either the first or third periods as the goalies dominated the show. The second period was a different story, as the Rangers and Blackhawks had a goal apiece before a late tiebreaker was netted Artem Anisimov. The Rangers will look to regroup against another tough opponent when the Minnesota Wild comes to town on December 23. Tickets for that game start as low as $132.
The New York Rangers are leading the NHL Metropolitan standings in a big way right now. They have 16 wins and 7 losses on their record and the closest team to follow them is Pittsburgh who has 13 wins and 6 losses. On Tuesday night the Rangers skated on their own ice against Carolina with high hopes of giving their home crowd the victory. Things were looking grim after Carolina scored two points in the first period, all while holding off the Rangers. However, the Rangers rallied back in the second and third period both offensively and defensively. They ended up winning the game 3-2 against Carolina. Get your tickets today to see them live this season.
The New York Rangers are on a roll after winning their past three games. Their latest victory was against the Canucks, where they won 7-2. Their victory came despite missing two of their top forwards due to injuries: Chris Kreider and Pavel Buchnevich. J.T. Miller and Kevin Hayes each had two goals, while goalie Henrik Lundqvist helped out the offense by making 36 saves. Brandon Pirri, Mats Zuccarello and Nick Holden also had goals. The Rangers will look to continue the winning trend when they play the Blue Jackets on the 18 and the Panthers on the 20. You can still get tickets to these games and the rest of the season, for prices starting at $28.
The New York Rangers lost against the Hurricanes, but then beat the Lightning and the Blues to bring their record to 7-3-0 so far this season. In their latest victory against the Blues on November 1, the Rangers shut out the Blues to win 5-0. Goalie Henrik Lundqvist had a great game, making 35 saves to help out the team. This made for his 60th shutout in the NHL. There were five separate scorers: Dan Girardi, Jimmy Vesey, Rick Nash, Mats Zuccarello and Kevin Hayes. The Rangers host the Oilers on the 3 and then head to Boston to play on the 5, and then they come back home to play the Jets on the 6 and the Canucks on the 8. Tickets are available for prices starting at $76.
The 2016-2017 regular season started out on a high note for the New York Rangers. Getting a win in your first game of the season is always a good feeling, but it's even better when you beat your biggest rivals, the New York Islanders! Backed by the new members to the franchise this year, Rangers captain Derek Stepan has been very vocal about how the team is going to approach this new season. He explained that this season, their main priority is speed. At 2-2, it's still too early to say how the new, faster Rangers will fare this season, but it will be fun to watch! They'll face the Red Wings and the Capitals on the road before returning to Madison Square Garden next week to host the Coyotes and the Bruins.
The New York Rangers are preparing for the start of the 2016-2017 season. They have recently agreed to terms with Jimmy Vesey and John Gilmour. They have also signed a deal for one-year to bring Brandon Pirri to the team. This brings them to 15 forwards on their roster, and their next move will be looking for a strong defenseman. With the Traverse City tournament only a few weeks away, the team has released a roster featuring 25 prospects and 3 draft picks. The tournament will start on September 16, and the Rangers play the Hurricanes first. The first preseason game will be on September 27 against the Islanders, and you can still get tickets for prices starting at $38.

Is it accurate?
Well, I was a little sceptical when I heard about the service. Come on, the last thing you'd want is to annoy your mum's best friend right? So I put it to the test…
Is it FREE?
Sometimes I wonder if Google is indeed Santa – this service is absolutely FREE and you can almost get it on anything that has access to the Internet!
On your computer – just drop by http://maps.google.com and follow the steps below…
Click on this dot to tell Google Maps where you are
On the far right, you'll see traffic, click on that to make sure you see a "tick" next to it
And tada! From without traffic
To traffic before your eyes…

FLORENCE, S.C. – The 17th-ranked Francis Marion University baseball team will play host to third-ranked Kennesaw State University in a three-game Peach Belt Conference series this weekend. The two squads will play a doubleheader Saturday at 1 p.m. on Cormell Field, and a single game on Sunday at 1 p.m.
The Patriots are 4-2 and are still looking to play their first conference game of the season. Last weekend's PBC series with fourth-ranked Georgia College & State University was washed out. KSU is 5-3 overall and 1-2 in the PBC.
The Owls were the preseason coaches' pick to win the conference title. KSU leads the all-time series with FMU 21-8, including a three-game sweep in Kennesaw last season.
Junior Luke Ogletree leads FMU in hitting with a .526 average. Senior right-hander Erin Jones (1-0) will start game one for Francis Marion, while southpaw Phil Padgett (2-0) will start game two.
Also on Saturday, the FMU men's and women's tennis teams will play host to Claflin College at 1 p.m. at the Wilson High School tennis courts.
The 4-0 FMU women's softball team will begin its PBC slate with a Saturday doubleheader at fourth-ranked University of North Florida (11-1). The twinbill will start at 1 p.m. in Jacksonville, Fla.
The FMU men's and women's basketball teams will play a Peach Belt Conference doubleheader at Georgia College & State University on Saturday night in Milledgeville, Ga.
Then women's game will tip-off at 5:30 p.m., followed by the men's game at 7:30 p.m. Both games can be heard over the internet at http://www.country102fm.com/
The Patriot men are 22-2 overall and 12-1 in the Peach Belt, while GC&SU is 6-18 and 3-10. FMU has dropped seven straight games to the Bobcats and has not won in Milledgeville since1995.
Junior forward Louis McCullough leads FMU in scoring (17.3 points per game) and needs only one rebound to become the seventh Patriot cager to amass 1,200 career points and 600 career rebounds.
In the women's contest, Francis Marion (12-10, 6-7) will try to snap a two-game losing skid when the Patriots take on the 18th-ranked Lady Bobcats (19-5, 8-5). Sophomore forward Danielle Moore (12.5 ppg) continues to lead FMU in scoring.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The Syrens Wifi system is just a packaged marine antenna, bridge/router. It is a good way for them to make a good deal of money for not offering a whole lot. You could do just as well or better by getting a PCMCIA WiFi card with an external antenna jack and mounting an antenna on the boat... like a 90˚ 9dB gain planar antenna... and aiming it manually. The 90˚ coverage is the minimum you'd want, as the boat will swing a little. You could go with an omnidirectional, but the gain would be lower. The 200 mw PCMCIA cards are the ones you want to get for this type of use.
The advent of the 802.11n specification, which is not yet finalized, will improve range quite a bit. The pre-specfication gear for it is already out there, but as it is fairly new, unlikely to be deployed in many areas yet. It uses multiple radios, versus the single radio in the 802.11a/b/g standard equipment, to increase throughput and range significantly. The 802.11 pre-n gear is backwardsly compatible with 802.11b/g gear, but with no real benefits.
You do need to be near someplace with a broadband internet connection that has a WiFi access point for either of the setups to work...neither will do much for you on the open ocean or in remote anchorages.
The other option, as PBz has mentioned is connecting via a cellular telephone network. However, outside of the US, most of the cellular data plans are based on the data sent, not a flat monthly fee... so they can really add up. I've used T-mobile's cellular network for my internet connection when I was in the process of moving, and it's not all that bad.... faster than a dial-up modem, but slower than my current fiber optic connection.
The only reason a steel boat would affect any of this is if the antenna was down below, inside the boat... and it would basically punt... steel eats WiFi signal really nicely.
BTW, I've run a WiFi network at distances over a mile using 18dB gain parabolic grid antennas... but that was with two terrestrial, non-floating endpoints. The record for WiFi is somewhere over 40 miles IIRC.
|I have only had success with WiFi in marinas, and even there, with line of sight to the transmitting antenna, I have experienced problems (multiple masts multipath I think). This year, I am trying a better and separate antenna at my end to see if it helps.
|Your cruising grounds are a factor in getting internet on the boat. To pick up wifi, you're going to be somewhere near populated areas, most likely in cell phone range. If so, I think you would be more satisfied with wireless internet through a cell phone provider. Also, picking up a wifi signal is not just a matter of your end, but the transmitting end as well.
Hi all
I am new to this so excuse me if this is not the way to make a post.
I am interested in a way to connect my laptop to a WIfI area, I have heard of the Syrens onboard WIFI, is it any good, does anyone have any experience in using one and most importantly does it work.
Are their any other options?
Its to be fitted to a steel sailing boat.
Best regards
Michael Allo

Report from the Justice Policy Institute (Washington, D.C.). Nov 2007
This research brief will summarize recent findings on what is known about access to quality or substandard housing as it relates to public safety and the use of incarceration. Along with conducting a brief literature review, the Justice Policy Institute (JPI) has compared data on state housing expenditures with crime rates and incarceration rates. While there is no single solution that will entirely reduce the probability that a person will be involved in criminal activity, and the literature is not conclusive on any one factor that would solve every community's various challenges, the research suggests that increased investments in housing can have a positive public safety benefit.
The Impact of Supportive Housing on Surrounding Neighborhoods
Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy, New York University, July 2007.
Communities across New York City and around the nation commonly oppose proposals to open supportive housing in their neighborhoods because of fear that the housing will decrease the quality of life in the neighborhood, and lead to reductions in property values. This study aims to give supportive housing providers and local government officials the objective, credible information they need to guide policy decisions and to respond to opponents' fears and arguments. Using a difference-in-difference regression model to isolate the effect of supportive housing from more general macro and micro market trends and neighborhood variations, this paper examines the impact that almost 14,000 units of supportive housing created in New York City over the past twenty-five years have had on their host neighborhoods over time. In a preliminary analysis, we find little evidence that supportive housing facilities diminish the value of surrounding properties. We find evidence that prices of properties surrounding supportive housing facilities are lower than comparable properties in the same neighborhood prior to the opening of the facility, and that this gap tends to narrow following the opening of a facility. Specifically, the preliminary analysis suggests that modestly sized supportive housing developments (which are typical in New York City) may have small, positive impacts on neighboring property values, though these positive impacts decline as project size increases. Very large facilities may have negative impacts on the surrounding neighborhood.

These individuals are considered to be "key personnel" and include Principal Investigator(s) on NIH awards that include research involving human subjects, all individuals responsible for the design or conduct of the study, and those individuals identified as key personnel of consortium participants or alternate performance sites if they are participating in research that involves human subjects. The NIH does not endorse any specific programs to fulfill the requirement for education on the protection of human subjects. NIH believes that institutions are in the best position to determine what programs are appropriate for fulfilling the education requirement. Institutions may require a particular program or may choose to develop a program to meet the requirement.
The OHRP (formerly the Office for Protection from Research Risks) is an administrative unit within the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), organizationally located in the Office of Public Health and Science, under the direction of the Assistant Secretary for Health. OHRP's responsibilities include implementation of the DHHS Regulations for the Protection of Human Subjects (45 CFR 46), and the provision of guidance on ethical issues in biomedical and behavioral research. A major difference between the OHSR and the OHRP is that the OHSR's activities are limited to the IRP, NIH, while the OHRP has oversight and educational responsibilities wherever DHHS funds are used to conduct research involving human subjects.
Panel on Research Ethics (PRE)
The Canadian Interagency Advisory Panel on Research Ethics (PRE) is a body of external experts established in November 2001 by three Canadian Research Agencies — the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) — to support the development and evolution of their joint research ethics policy the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS). When the TCPS was adopted in August 1998, the Agencies committed to keeping it a living, or "evolving," document in order to respond to new research developments and identified gaps in the Policy. PRE has thus been created to advise the Agencies on the evolution, interpretation, implementation and educational needs of the TCPS. PRE's independent and multidisciplinary advice is intended to promote high standards of ethical conduct, advance the protection of human research participants and enhance accountability in research ethics.
The UCLA AIDS Institute provides a unique, multidisciplinary think-tank for top-flight researchers who are assailing HIV from a dozen disciplines and directions.

My mom had been telling me for months about a "baby" and now she's really serious. At first I let him do his thing, I didn't want to give him kisses or anything, but he keeps waking me up in the middle of the night, so I have to give him kisses. Everytime I give him a kiss he stops screaming and starts to smile! He's getting bigger every day and mom says one day he'll be pulling on my ears, but until then I shall just kiss him and help babysit! Woof woof for now, I have to catch up on some zzzz's!
So a lot has happened since I last wrote! I have a new baby brother Riley, we sold our house and now have a much bigger house... my mom likes to say I get my own room... I don't see this happening though! My new brother Riley has even more energy than I do... my dad says I'm getting old, so every time people come over I have to jump up and down and get extremely excited just to prove to my dad I'm not old! I love playing with Riley except he loves to chase the hose and I think he's CRAZY!! FLYING WATER HELLO!!! But he's a good little brother I let him chew on my big ears and jump on me and he's getting pretty good with tug of war. He really likes to get squeeky toys and tease me by running around the house squeeking them! Oh and he likes to get my tennis balls too... now that's just pushing it, but I guess we have enough to share! Well I'm tired now, woof woof until next time!
Well it's now been almost a month after my little brother Nitro passed away. At first I was really lonely and sad and I kept sitting and looking out the front window waiting for someone to bring him back home. But since my aunt Ranell came over a bunch of times and my mom sometimes has days off where she can stay with me, I've been getting the all-star treatment! My mom and dad keep telling me that after we move they're going to get me another little brother and I can't wait! But until then I shall continue running back and forth along the fence with Hershey, my neighbor. I keep poking the fence boards out so I can let her into my backyard so we can really chase each other! Woof woof for now!

text: BARRANQUILLA, Colombia, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- New Colombia Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: NEWC) ("New Colombia" or the "Company") has engaged SGS Colombia S.A. to begin a N.I. 43-101 compliant drill program. At the conclusion of the program, New Colombia will hire an international drilling company to drill the holes according to the plan. SGS will take custody of the core samples back to their laboratory in Barranquilla, Colombia and provide drill hole database management services. Other services SGS will provide include a Topographic Survey and Geological Mapping. Once the drill holes samples have been analyzed, a Qualified Person (QP), as defined by the National Instrument 43-101, will provide a technical report. The N.I. 43-101 Technical Report is an international standard used for the public disclosure of information relating to mineral properties; it is broadly comparable to the Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code (JORC Code) which regulates the publication of mineral exploration reports. The drill hole results will also allow the company to complete and submit their Environmental Impact Study. "We are aggressively moving forward to get into production as soon as possible," stated John Campo, President of New Colombia Resources. About SGS SGS is the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company. They are recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity.

Well, I have a dream, and the dream is to download mp3's via my iPhone and then seamlessly load up the iPod app and listen to the music downloaded. It seems like this is impossible atm.
I heard mewseek and pwnplayer AND iSlsk can download songs and then sync them to your music library but there's one problem. NONE of them work with the 3.0 firmware.
I tried looking for something else but all I could find was dTunes which apparently synced the songs to your music library (the fooking article lied? dTunes: Download media on the iPhone (Cydia App) – Video Review | iPhone Help !) but unless there's an add-on or I missed a button in dTunes I couldn't get it to sync.
So please tell me there's an alternative to sync downloaded songs with the iPod music library without SSH or iTunes or other crap like that. A simple script would do or whatever. And it's possible! Since the programs listed above did it, they're just not being updated anymore...

North Carolina 37, Virginia 13: Bryn Renner threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns while displaying pin-point accuracy and the visiting Tar Heels ended the Cavaliers' bowl hopes in the 117th meeting between the South's oldest rivals.
Renner finished 29-of-36 and Quinshad Davis set a school mark and tied the ACC record with 16 catches for 178 yards as North Carolina (7-4, 4-3 ACC) rebounded from an embarrassing 68-50 loss to Georgia Tech. Tre Boston returned an interception for a touchdown for the Tar Heels, who broke open a close game by scoring the final 17 points.
North Carolina is banned from postseason play, but the Tar Heels made sure their oldest rival will be home come bowl season as well. Virginia (4-7, 2-5) needed to win its final two games to become bowl eligible for a second straight season.
The Cavaliers' bowl hopes vanished in just over four minutes during a sequence that spanned the third and fourth quarters.The Cavaliers, who trailed 20-10 at the half, were threatening to tie the game late in the third when the Tar Heels threw Kevin Parks for a 2-yard loss on fourth-and-goal.
North Carolina then capitalized on the momentum swing and drove 97 yards in 12 plays. Renner's 23-yard touchdown pass to running back Giovani Bernard made it 27-13 with 11:43 to play. Erik Highsmith's second touchdown catch, which came moments after Virginia's Darius Jennings dropped a sure touchdown, put the game out of reach.
The Cavaliers' quarterback tandem of Phillip Sims (8-of-17, 50 yards, touchdown) and Michael Rocco (11-of-16, 155 yards, interception) was largely ineffective.
GAME NOTEBOOK: North Carolina leads the series 60-53-4. ... Rocco, who set a school record with 18 straight completions last week, started and was 4-of-5 for 64 yards on the first two drives. ... The Cavaliers were down to two healthy CBs with Maurice Canady out with a concussion. ... Renner was 19-of-23 for 201 yards in the first half.

Consult the Four-Year Guarantee Requirements for information on eligibility. The concept of "adequate progress" as it is used here only refers to maintaining eligibility for the four-year guarantee; it is not a requirement for the major. To maintain adequate progress toward a BFA in film studies, students should meet the following requirements:
Overview. The film studies/art and art history bachelor of arts/master of arts critical studies degree gives highly-motivated BA students the opportunity to earn an MA degree using an accelerated undergraduate program in combination with a fifth year of study.
Program Description. The BA/MA degree in film studies (FS) is a critical studies track under the auspices of the Art and Art History (AAH) MA program. This collaboration between AAH and FS is an extension of our common interests in visual art and grows from our current shared MFA in filmmaking. The film studies tenured and tenured track faculty also have graduate faculty standing within art and art history.
The FS/AAH BA/MA track prepares students for professional careers in teaching and criticism, from the perspective of innovative critical approaches and in preparation for a PhD track at another university. The aim of the BA/MA film program is to aid in the advancement of the scholarly understanding of film art, with emphasis on theoretical and research approaches and their role in academia. The BA/MA will, therefore, prepare its graduates to assume the responsibilities of the academic study of cinema as one of the fine arts and to pursue careers in teaching, research, curating, and the overall advancement of the study of cinema as art.
The program offers studies leading to the MA in the areas of film criticism and theory. Advanced students are encouraged to explore interdisciplinary approaches as well as to enhance their program of study with cognate courses in other departments such as history, comparative literature, anthropology, English, women's studies, ethnic studies, Spanish and Portuguese, French and Italian, Germanic and Slavic languages and literatures, and others. Film studies offers a broad selection of seminar topics on their current faculty research interests and in response to student demand. The Visiting Film Artist program brings additional distinguished, innovative film and video artists and critics to campus and students are encouraged to register for their seminars.
Admission to the Program
The application form can be downloaded from www.colorado.edu/GraduateSchool/GSForms/ConcurrentForms/Concurrentapplication.pdf. Note: Applicants should specify on the form that they are applying for the spring term, BA/MA degree, major codes AS-FLM2 and GR-ART2.
For more information visit www.colorado.edu/FilmStudies/degrees/bama/index.shtml.
The Graduate MFA degree in film studies is a filmmaking track integrated into the Art and Art History MFA program in much the same way as the tracks in painting and drawing, ceramics, sculpture, media arts, the IAP, and printmaking. The filmmaking track prepares students for professional artistic careers in filmmaking from the perspective of innovative image making. The aim of the MFA film program is to aid in the advancement of the practice and understanding of art, with emphasis on the moving image and its role in this advancement. The MFA will, therefore, prepare graduates to assume creative leadership roles in filmmaking.
The interdisciplinary nature of the MFA program allows graduate students to work in various areas, in addition to their area of specialization. The MFA guidelines include a second area of the student's choice as a requirement. The thesis project is two-fold, involving 1.) the student's creative work (e.g., a film), displayed at the MFA exhibition, and 2.) a written thesis that eventually goes to the library.
See the Art and Art History section for descriptions of the MFA ARTF courses.
Prerequisites. The following are required for admission to the graduate program:
Degree Requirements. Effective fall 2008, the MFA program is a two-and-a-half year program. The degree requires a minimum of 54 credit hours of course work, of which 36 must be taken in residence on the Boulder campus, with the following requirements:
Required Courses and Semester Credit Hours

We are just their guests.

I'm bringing tturley!
#3 Nov 13, 2012
What time does the potluck start? Cmon Marcella give us all the details.
#4 Nov 13, 2012
The event is at 5pm in Minor Hall 125!
#5 Nov 13, 2012
Nothing like a reality check to shake up the unwashed masses. This is a great idea.
#6 Nov 13, 2012
Katelyn Krause--should try learning history rather than wallowing in BS politics.
#7 Nov 13, 2012
Did you know that indigenous Native Americans didn't have Habeas Corpus until 14 years after emancipation?
#8 Nov 13, 2012
We were forced to adopt the practices of white American society.
But that won't stop us from comtinuing to accept the financial assistance of white American society and this fine white American society University.
Heya heya heya heya!
#9 Nov 13, 2012
like we "purchased" Manhattan for $24
that's even in if you buy into the concept of land 'ownership'
#10 Nov 13, 2012
Land theft, mass genocide, weapons of mass destruction (small pox laden blankets), and death marches (Trail of Tears) are the real history of European Colonialism and early American Imperialism. It might be needlessly superfluous to go open old wounds, because reverting back is a fantasy; it is a far cry from the Kumbaya historical revisionism that we so often hear about. It's an equal atrocity to slavery, and a black eye on a society that liberally espouses freedom and equality. There is nothing wrong with a literary and peaceful protest that teaches the real history.
"Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it."
~Edmund Burke
#11 Nov 14, 2012
What happened to the American Indians was atrocious and heartbreaking. But that was many generations ago and we have come a long ways. We need to know true history, but not in a way that makes this generation feel responsible for what happened. Just like Cville always brings up slavery a couple times a year to make us feel bad. I have never, nor did my ancestors ever have slaves. Let us teach history correctly, but remember it as history. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
#12 Nov 14, 2012
Exactly.'Dude'- consider my agreement with this as my response to your post. My post was intentionally sarcastic, I studied history so I am not in denial, but get over it already.
#14 Nov 14, 2012
Who's bringing the Smallpox Blankets?
#15 Nov 14, 2012
I caught you sarcasm, but did you miss this part of my post ?"It might be needlessly superfluous to go open old wounds, because reverting back is a fantasy." There still isn't anything wrong with teaching real history instead of the revisionist history that victors so often write.
#16 Nov 14, 2012
Lets take another leap into the past, "Remeber the Alamo", anothe twist on US history that gets left out of the history books.hint, Mexico had banned slavery well before that incident, another hint, Texas was a slave state, so why did the Alamo happen, Texas independence? bull.
#17 Nov 19, 2012
If they don't want to make anyone "feel guilty"...fat chance at that, or be anti-American, then pray tell, why do they title the event an "Anti-Thanksgiving Potluck". Why are leftist grivance-mongers always "ANTI" white, European history in the U.S.? Don't they realize that Thanksgiving was about undocumented English and Dutch immigrants thanking the Great Spirit for having survived the winter with some of them still intact? Are they against undocumented immigrants seeking asylum because they're being religiously persecuted. WOW! if that's so, then them Injuns are mean and nasty Xenophobes and racial bigots. Instead of being pathetic, joyless killjoys, they ought to give thanks, like everyone else that they live in the freest, wealthiest, most comfortable nation this planet has ever known.
#18 Nov 19, 2012
not until those immigrants went on to persecute and wipe them out of existence
#19 Nov 20, 2012
Who cares what these folks think. Party on dudes and dudettes.
#20 Nov 20, 2012
OK Bill, its time for your pill, and don't forget to pick up your room before bed time.
#21 Nov 20, 2012
Try making an argument instead of a snide remark. It's clear you're incapable. Until the end of Imperialism in 20th century, peoples have migrated or invaded whatever word you choose, going back to the Ice Age, so stop with the self-righteous victimology 400yrs. later. You don't see the Algonquin protesting the Iriquois for the latter trying to wipe them out. The whole thing is leftist idiocy and the agenda is always the same....money. All these shake-down artists ever want is something for nothing and to take from others what they themselves haven't earned. They blame our ancestors for their ancestors troubles and say "REPARATIONS"! My ancestors were were victims of systematic genocide by the English because of their religion. You don't see me playing the victim. It's sad and pathetic, just like you Mr. NON-free-thinking.

About Me
UPDATE October 2011: I've been out of action for the last 2 years - mainly due to no spare time from planning a wedding and buying and renovating our new house. This means I now have a NEW LOOK. Please be aware I look different to my profile and hence need some updated images. I have Blonde hair now - which is cut to a "long bob". I'm looking to replicate the quality of images I have currently, so if you're free at weekends at all, please get in touch
I'm a hard worker, with an eye for detail, and will always give 110% to every shoot. I know that sounds cliche, but I do take pride in every shoot, as I don't see the point in not doing my best as you will only end up disappointed in the results!
Where id like to go with modeling:
The work I'd like to take on are those projects that will benefit both mine and the photographers portfolio. I believe everyone has something different to offer, so take every offer seriously. You will never get a no-show from me, and communications will always be excellent. Please feel free to ask for references!
I am now focussing my efforts on paid assignments, as I have very limited time in which to organise and attend photoshoots. However, if your work is amazing then I will definately consider a test or a TFP/CD.
Additional info:
I do not do Glamour shoots so please do not ask. I will only do art nude with professional photographers or those whose work I find appealing.
