See Bulletin Board System.
Berkeley Internet Name Domain is an implementation of the Domain Name System protocols, including:
- A Domain Name System server (NameID).
- A Domain Name System resolver library, tools for verifying the proper operation of the DNS server.
- The B.I.N.D. D.N.S. Server is used on the vast majority of name serving machines on the Internet, providing a robust and stable architecture on top of which an organization's naming architecture can be built.
This is the smallest measure of computerized data, either 1 or 0. Eight bits equal one byte, or one character.
Bits per second
BPS. A measurement of how fast data is moved from one place to another. A 28.8K modem can move 28,800 bits per second, or about 3600 characters per second.
See Bits per second.
A client program used to view various kinds of Internet resources. You use a browser (e.g., Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer) to view Web pages from your computer.
Berkeley Software Distribution, a free version of UNIX.
An error in coding or logic that causes a program to malfunction or to produce incorrect results. Also, a recurring physical problem that prevents a system or set of components from working together properly.
Bulletin Board System
BBS. A computerized meeting system. BBS users can have discussions, make announcements, and upload or download files. There are thousands of BBSs around the world; many of them rely on a direct modem-to-modem connection over a phone line, using a single computer.
A set of 8 bits that represent a single character.
A local storage of recently accessed web files from a Web server. To modify your cache settings in Internet Explorer browser, from the menu bar, select View / Tools - Internet Options – General - Temporary Internet Files. To modify your cache settings in Netscape Navigator, from the Edit menu choose Preferences – Advanced - Cache.
Certificate Authority
An issuer of Security Certificates used in SSL connections. Two prime examples are verisign (www.verisign.com)and thawte (www.thawte.com)
See Common Gateway Interface.
UNIX command for changing permissions. Each file is assigned permissions based upon the ownership, the group membership, and the accessibility of the file to non-authenticated users.
Permissions are assigned in a combination of three variants:
Read permission (assigned a numeric value of 4) allows a user to view the contents of a file or a directory.
Write permission (assigned a numeric value of 2) allows a user to view and make changes to a file.
Execute permission (assigned a numeric value of 1) allows a user to run the program contained in a file.
Only the owner of the file or directory can change permissions. UNIX clients can modify permissions through an F.T.P. client, such as CuteFTP or WSFTP.
A program (or software) used to interact with a server. A Web browser is a specific kind of client.
Cold Fusion
Available on the NT platform, Allaire's Cold Fusion is a dynamic scripting language that allows for the submission and retrieval of data to and from a database. Cold Fusion files are indicated by the file extension "CFM". For more information, please visit http://www.allaire.com.
Common Gateway Interface
CGI. A protocol that allows a Web page to run a program on a Web server. Forms, counters, and guest books are common examples of CGI programs. CGI scripts define how the Web server and programs send information back and forth. These scripts allow visitors to interact with the site and give the Webmaster valuable information about a Web page. CGI scripts are indicated by a file extension "cgi".
A piece of information sent to a browser by a Web server upon accessing a Web site. The next time the browser accesses that site, the server retrieves the information. This is how some Web pages "remember" your previous visits; for example, an E-Commerce site might use a cookie to remember which items you've placed in your online shopping cart. Cookies can also store user preference information, log-in data, etc.
This Unix term refers to a specific type of program or agent designed to work in the background. Using a daemon, a program can simply hand off data to the smaller program and go on to more important things. For example, a print daemon could handle print requests from multiple users and applications, freeing them for other tasks.
Data Source Name
Data Source Name stores information about how to connect to the indicated data provider, for example, a database. A data source name entry links a database with database drivers, software that has knowledge of how to communicate with your type of database. Customers may also create a DSNless connection to remove the requirement for server side intervention.
Data Transfer
In general, any outward-bound traffic from a Web site is considered to be data transfer. Each time a Web page, image, MIDI file, etc. is loaded, data transfer is generated.
Data Transfer-Bandwidth
Refers to the amount of electronic data sent over the network each month in response to visitor's requests. This varies depending on the size of your Web pages and the number of visitors to your site. A 50-kilobyte home page that's viewed by 20,000 visitors each month will use one gigabyte of data transfer per month (50,000 bytes x 20,000 hits = 1 billion bytes, or one gigabyte). Bandwidth is metered by the byte. It's best to estimate your expected bandwidth and keep track of events and site promotions that could result in sudden increases in visitor traffic.
A collection of data: part numbers, product codes, customer information, etc. It usually refers to data organized and stored on a computer that can be searched and retrieved by a computer program.
Dedicated Web Hosting
The rental or lease of a server and the network bandwidth to the Internet for access to the server. Offers one customer per server.
If you're building a more complex corporate or E-Commerce site, you'll need more space - a Web server dedicated to your business, the equivalent of an entire office building. The host is still responsible for site security, maintenance, and technical support, and you aren't saddled with the prohibitive costs of setting up your own server and Internet connection.
An industry-standard protocol that dynamically assigns Internet Protocol (I.P.) configurations to computers.
Dial-Up Internet Access
Connects the user via an analog or ISDN line. The user must dial in to a modem each time the Internet is accessed.
Digital Special Access Circuits (DS3/OC3)
Fiber DS3/OC3 High Capacity Circuits between DSLAM and ATM backbone network, considered our infra-structure.
Digital Subscriber Line
DSL. Technology which combines Voice and Data on same wire pair. Various types include (but are not limited to):
Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is one type of DSL technology that is a capable of greater speed in one direction than another.
High data rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) is capable of 1.544Mbps speed in both directions.
Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer
DSLAM. Central office group of devices consisting of DSL modem banks, multilplexers, and routers. The DSLAM consolidates or concentrates all the data traffic coming in from individual DSL lines and passes them on to a backbone network for distribution to Internet service provider networks or corporate networks.
Disk Capacity (Space)
The amount of space on the host server that is used for a customer's Web site.
Example: A disk capacity of 40MB is equivalent to 1200 Web site (8 ½ x 11) pages of text only assuming that an average page size is 30 kb. However, when graphics or photos are added, disk capacity will be reduced depending on the size of graphics or photos added.
ADSL service cannot be provided to a location because other digital services, within the same cable sheath, will cause excessive interference upon an ADSL service. This interference may hinder ADSL from working at all, or cause the service to work below acceptable service parameters. ADSLs tolerance of interference from other services is relative to the length of the physical loop.
See Domain Name System.
Domain Alias (Nicknames)
An alternative domain name that points to an existing site. You can have several domain aliases that point to one original domain or Web site. They are like nicknames; they allow surfers to access pages without having to know the exact domain name. For example, www.uca.com directs you to www.varsity.com. These two companies are interrelated so both sites go to the same IP address. Customers want it because it increases the likelihood their page will be used if they can use multiple names to get to the same place.
Domain E-mail
Electronic mail that is personalized to a customer's Web site. For example, domain E-mail is: email@example.com
Domain Name
Your address on the Internet. It is linked to a numerical address, called an IP address (e.g. 184.108.40.206). A domain name server is used to translate a domain name into an IP address. Domain names consist of two parts: the actual name, and the hierarchy to which it belongs. The hierarchies available for public use are .com, .net, and .org.
A domain name specifies a site, or a particular computer at a site. It can have several parts. In the US, the last part indicates the type of domain:
.com – commercial
.edu – educational
.org – organization
.net – network
.gov – government
.mil – military
A domain name locates an organization or other entity on the Internet. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages. Example, the domain name for IBM is www.ibm.com
A unique name that identifies one or more Web sites. A domain name acts as a permanent Web address and provides a professional, prestigious Web presence. Compare these two Web addresses (URLs)
In the first URL, the domain name "anywebhost.com" is owned by someone else. If you moved your business Web site to another Web host, you'd need a new URL--and you'd have to notify your customers of your new address. The second URL contains an example of a custom domain name that you own: "yourname.com." If you ever move your site, your address will stay the same
Domain Name System
DNS. A database that translates an IP address into a domain name. This is the standard by which names e.g. www.flowersrus.com are translated into numbers, e.g., 184.108.40.206 so the Internet knows the server locations where the address is located.
A system of servers located throughout the Internet that handles Internet connections and the routing of e-mail
Transferring a file from a computer on the Internet to your own computer. Things you might download include software, images, e-mail, MIDI files, etc.
Downstream/ Upstream
Downstream refers to pulling data flowing from a source (i.e., RLAN or ISP) to the end-user.
Upstream refers to pushing data from the end-user to the Internet Service Provider or Corporate Host.
A web site construction and publishing tool offered through Macro Media. Dreamweaver uses F.T.P. to transfer files from the local computer to a remote computer.

File Transfer Protocol
FTP. A client/server protocol for exchanging files with a host computer.
The Internet service that transfers files from one computer to another on the Internet. You might use FTP to upload HTML files to your Web host from your own computer. A user ID and password are needed to use FTP, unless Anonymous FTP is allowed.
A combination of hardware and software, used to protect a network from unwelcome traffic. A firewall can be used to separate a LAN into two or more parts, or to control network traffic.
A security device that controls access from the Internet to a local network. It is a method of protecting one network from another network. A firewall blocks unwanted access to the protected network while giving the protected network access to networks outside of the firewall. A company will typically install a firewall to give users access to the Internet while protecting their internal information.
When a crucial router on the Internet goes down, all the routers have to tell one another about it and recalculate new routes that bypass that router. This adjustment results in large numbers of packets passing back and forth, with the result that the traffic becomes so heavy that the routing updates cannot occur properly, since the information does not make it through the traffic.
Frame Relay Service
FRS. A high speed, wide area, data transfer service that allows for the transfer of variable length frames across a wide geographical area.
A WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)Web page editor by Microsoft. To use FrontPage to create and maintain your Web site, your hosting service must install "extensions." (CGI programs that provide the server side implementation of FrontPage) for your account.

Also, a person who uses computer expertise for illicit ends, such as gaining access to computer systems without permission and tampering with programs and data.
Hard Disk
A hard disk is part of a unit, often called a "disk drive," "hard drive," or "hard disk drive," that stores and provides relatively quick access to large amounts of data on an electromagnetically charged surface or set of surfaces. Today's computers typically come with a hard disk that contains several billion bytes (gigabyte) of storage.
A single request from a Web browser for a single item from a Web server. When a browser displays a Web page that contains 2 graphics, 3 hits occur at the server: 1 hit for the HTML page itself, plus a hit for each of the two graphics.

Home Page
The first page of a Web site. Some people choose to have only a home page, with no supporting pages.
Personal home pages allow an individual to create his/her own presence on the World Wide Web (WWW). It is the page that is retrieved and displayed by default when a user visits the Web server. The default home-page name for a server depends on the server's configuration. On most Web servers, it is index.html or index.htm. Some servers support multiple home pages.
When a new customer is uploading their website they have to be sure to overwrite the current home page (under construction) so that their own home page will show.
1. A computer system accessed by a user from a remote location. In the case of two computer systems connected via modem, the "host" is the system containing the data and the "remote" is the computer at which the user is working.
2. A computer that is connected to a TCP/IP network, including the Internet. Each host has a unique IP address.
3. As a verb, "host" means providing the infrastructure for a computer service. A company that hosts a Web server may provide the hardware and software needed to run that server, but does not supply all the content on that server.
Storing customer's Web sites and associated documents. A host computer stores information for individuals or businesses for a fee.
Hosting Platform
Shorthand for an operating system such as Microsoft's Windows NT or (once upon a time!) DOS - the basic set of commands that tell your computer how to open applications and store files.

The service will not be asymmetric as is ADSL, but will be the same speed downstream as well as upstream. This service will be for data only and will not have the ability to deliver voice on the same POTS line as ADSL. For example, LongReach, at 144 kbps, is PBI's solution for customers in some metropolitan areas.
Image Map
A graphic used for multiple navigation on a Web page. Image maps contain HTML code that turn specific areas of graphics into links.
The actual number of people who've seen a specific Web page. Impressions are much more accurate than hits when discerning how much traffic your Web page actually receives. Impressions are sometimes called "page views."

PC Card
Term used for laptop NIC cards.
The act of one national Internet backbone provider accepting and passing traffic from another national provider.
When the Net went commercial in 1995, four official NAPs were created: three run by the telephone companies in San Francisco, Chicago and New York, and the fourth in Washington, D.C., known as MAE-East (Metropolitan Area Exchange-East). Four more MAEs have become de facto NAPs, plus three historical exchanges (two Federal plus CIX) add up to about a dozen major exchange points within the U.S.
National ISPs generally connect at all four of the original ones and all MAEs. This is known as public peering. In addition, due to the congestion at these exchanges, large ISPs agree to peer privately and interconnect with each other at many other points throughout the country where equipment at both companies is conveniently located. Dropping the packet off earlier to the destination backbone eliminates considerable traffic.
Permanent Virtual Circuit
PVC. A virtual circuit that provides the equivalent of a dedicated private line service over a packet switching network.

Personal Home Page
See Pretty Good Privacy
In Web programming, PHP is a script language and interpreter, similar to JavaScript and Microsoft's VBScript, that is freely available and used primarily on Linux Web servers. PHP (the initials come from the earliest version of the program, which was called "Personal Home Page Tools") is a cross-platform alternative to Microsoft's Active Server Page (ASP) technology (which runs only on Microsoft's Windows NT/2000 servers). As with ASP, the PHP script is embedded within a Web page along with its HTML. Before the page is sent to a user that has requested it, the Web server calls PHP to interpret and perform the operations called for in the PHP script. An HTML page that includes a PHP script is typically given a file name suffix of ".php" ".php3," or ".phtml". Like ASP, PHP can be thought of as "dynamic HTML pages," since content will vary based on the results of interpreting the script.
PHP is free and offered under an open source license. The latest version is PHP4.
A program that is used for testing networks. It sends an ICMP Echo packet to a specified address and waits for a response, then reports success or failure.

See Random Access Memory.
Random Access Memory
RAM. This is reusable computer memory, available to all programs on a computer. A computer with 32M of RAM has about 32 million bytes of memory that programs can use. RAM is read/write memory, as opposed to ROM which is read-only memory.
Read-Only Memory
ROM. A computer's unchangeable memory. It's used to store programs that start the computer and run diagnostic functions.
Client software that plays audio and video media. Providers of news, entertainment, sports, and business content can create audio and video multimedia content, and deliver it online to audiences worldwide. To create your own RealPlayer files and offer them on your Web site, your hosting service must install special "extensions" for your account.
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
RADIUS. A customer inputs a user name and password which authorizes access to the ISP's network.
Remote Local Area Network
RLAN. Allows a user to access their office LAN from a remote location via, in this case, DSL. A User can use all systems, databases, and software as if they are in their office.
Telco device used to regenerate and replicate telephone signals over great distances (not allowed on DSL Line).
Resolution (Screen or Monitor)
The way things appear on your computer monitor. Resolution is measured in pixels. The lower the resolution, the larger things appear on your screen. Most computer monitors are set at 800 x 600 resolution, meaning 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels high. Some people's monitors are set at 1024 x 768 or higher. Others are set at 640 x 480.

A device that finds the best path for a data packet to be sent from one network to another. The router controls the direction and translation of data between different devices. Provides firewall security.
Router-based Security
The Cayman router comes with NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows an entire LAN (Local Area Network) to share one public IP address that is visible to the outside world while internally assigning private IP addresses (cannot be seen by the outside world) to the rest of the devices on the LAN.
This way the network is more secure since only one of its devices is known to the outside world. NAT enables the LAN's internal devices to access the Internet while blocking unauthorized outsiders from entering the LAN.
Search Engine
A directory of Internet content. Search engines use spiders to search for Web pages, and then list those pages according to the content they contain. When you use a search engine to find specific information, the search engine provides a detailed list of Web pages that best match your inquiry. Popular search engines include Excite, Snap, Yahoo, and Infoseek.
Secure Socket Layer
SSL. A protocol which is designed to provide secure communications on the Internet.
Secure Sockets Layer
SSL. A low-level protocol that enables secure communications between a server and a browser.
A program designed by Netscape to enable encrypted communications across the Internet. It provides privacy, authentication, and message integrity. SSL is often used in communications between browsers and servers. A URL that begins with "https" indicates that an SSL connection will be used on the Web page.
During an SSL connection, each side sends a Security Certificate to the other. Both sides then encrypt what they send, ensuring that only the intended recipient can decode it.
Security Certificate
Information used to establish a secure connection by SSL protocol. In order for an SSL connection to be created, both sides must have a valid Security Certificate, issued by the Certificate Authority.
A computer that offers services on a network. On the World Wide Web, the server is the computer that runs the Web server program that responds to HTTP protocol requests by providing Web pages. Also called host.
A computer or program that manages network resources. The term can refer to a program, or to the machine on which the program is running. A single server machine could be running several programs, thus providing different services to users on the network.

Shared Web Hosting
A service that provides the customer with the ability to have a "Web-presence" without the cost of maintaining their own Web server and access.
For small to medium-sized customers needing Web presence, the best choice is shared server hosting. The site is located on one of the Web host's servers – the equivalent of leasing office space. A certain portion of the building is yours, with your name on the door, and you can rely on the building manager (the Web host) for security, maintenance and facilities management. This is called "shared" hosting because your home page has its own domain name (www.yourcompanywebsite.com), and appears to exist as a stand-alone server.
It operates with the speed and efficiency, however, without a subsidiary address (www.WebHost.com/yourcompanysite/) – its location is invisible to visitors. You gain the instant credibility of name recognition while investing only a fraction of the cost of dedicated server.

Spam (or Spamming)
Junk e-mail or junk newsgroup posts. Spam is usually some sort of advertising, inappropriately sent to a mailing list or newsgroup. Spam not only wastes the recipient's time, but also misuses network bandwidth.
Spectrum Management
Process performed by Engineering to insure DSL is placed correctly in our network with dissimilar types of services (i.e., T1, HDSL, and ISDN). These other services and DSL act as "disturbers" towards each other, causing interference and possible loss in transmission of their data.
An Internet program (used by a search engine) that explores the Web at large. Spiders collect and index Web page addresses based on content found at those pages.
A device put on a customer's premise to "split" a customer's signal into 2 paths: data and voice.

Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol
TCP/IP. Internet networking software that controls the transmission of packets of data over the Internet. Among its tasks, TCP checks for lost packets, puts the data from multiple packets into the correct order, and requests those missing or damaged packets be resent. Computers must run TCP to communicate with World Wide Web servers.
See Unspecified Bit Rate.
Uniform Resource Locator
URL. The global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. It is the name for the Internet address of a particular individual, device, or Web site. For example, the URL for IBM is: http://www.ibm.com.
URL is a string that supplies the Internet address of a resource on the World Wide Web, along with the protocol by which the resource is accessed. The most common URL type is "http," which gives the Internet address of a World Wide Web page. Some other URL types are "gopher," which gives the Internet address of a Gopher directory, and "ftp," which gives the address of an FTP resource.

Episode Guide
Is there a reason we're not prefixing these with episode numbers? We have A Present for Claribelle rather than Episode 107: A Present for Claribelle and CSI Sesame Tree rather than Episode 108: CSI Sesame Tree. Is there a reason or should we move them? -- Brad D. (talk) 05:50, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
- I think it's just because Nick doesn't usually create episode pages and may not have been fully aware of our conventions, and in general this category has been overlooked, since it only contains two items. You're absolutely right, but at the moment, the current event discussion on whether to change our naming conventions even further by adding show titles has stalled. Still, looking at it, neither page is heavily linked, so a second move would hardly make a ripple. I'd want to confirm the episode order first, though. It's not clear what Nick's source was, but I presume it's somewhere on the BBC Sesame Tree website. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 07:18, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
- I got the descriptions from the "Grown-ups" part of their site... here. I was aware of the naming, but I decided against it, because I think it might be an intentional mini-series like Shalom Sesame (as opposed to an unsuccessful co-production); it isn't even regularly scheduled, they just air it in random spurts. -- Zanimum 21:03, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
- Even short series are numbered here (and 20 episodes is hardly short in that sense), and no, that's not the case (and if you suspect it is, that's something to raise in discussion, not assume). It's simply that UK broadcasting schedules and episode totals differ from the US. It's also from the link that it is regularly scheduled, hardly random, with back to back episodes once a week prior to an interruption in March, and awaiting specifics after March 2 (which is common). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 21:15, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Sano's bat making familiar sound
Twins' top prospect doubles, drives in two runs in Beloit's win
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | May 2, 2012 7:53 PM ET
In a nine-game stretch from April 21-29, when the Twins' No. 1 prospect went 6-for-33 (.182), that sound was heard all too rarely.
But in his last couple games, including a 3-for-5 performance with a double and two RBIs on Wednesday in Class A Beloit's 6-5 win over Cedar Rapids, Snappers hitting coach Tommy Watkins has heard it a lot.
"It's unreal. It's amazing to see the ball come off his bat, it's a different sound," said Watkins, who spent 12 seasons in the Twins system before getting a nine-game callup with Minnesota in 2007. "In all my years of playing, and three of coaching, I've never heard or seen the ball come off the bat the way it comes off his."
Baseball is a game that will, inherently, drive any hitter into a slump. What coaches like Watkins want to see from a young player like Sano (who will turn 19 on May 11) is simply how he works through it.
Between going 4-for-5 on April 20 and culling together his next multi-hit game Monday, when he went 2-for-3 against Dayton, Watkins said he saw Sano, MLB.com's No. 23 prospect overall, doing the things indicative of a talented, mature young athlete.
"I think he deals really well with it, despite him being young. He's probably one of our hardest working guys," said Watkins. "He's been working hard on the field, with his game, his hitting, and really hard off the field, with his English."
According to Watkins, Sano has been especially focused during his regular English classes with tutor Rafael Yanez, and has seen his conversational skills improve greatly. That has helped him defensively, in that he's increasingly able to communicate with teammates and direct the infield.
"I've been very impressed with the way he goes about his business, he's catching on [with English] really well. You can have a conversation with him, and he's getting better every day." said Watkins.
As one might expect, with that kind of work ethic off the field, Sano has been just as diligent with his responsibilities on the field.
"You would never be able to tell he was a guy that got a lot of money or has the status he has," said Watkins. "He communicates with the guys on defense, runs balls out. It's amazing to watch his batting practice, even his work in the cage."
And eventually, the slump at the plate ended and Watkins' ears perked up once more at the sound of Sano's bat finding its groove.
"I don't even know how to describe it," said the hitting coach. "It's a different kind of loud."
First baseman Roy Rhodes went 2-for-4 and contributed an eighth-inning home run for the Snappers on Wednesday, and designated hitter Adam Bryant doubled and drove in two more runs.
Starter Matthew Summers surrendered three runs -- one earned -- on six hits with two strikeouts over five innings but didn't factor into the decision. Corey Williams earned his fourth save with two shutout innings.

(Click here for the schedule of Opening Week
COLUMBIA, Ky. - Shortly after 8 a.m. CT Saturday,
Lindsey Wilson College Dean of Students Chris
Schmidt officially declared the start of the 2009 fall
He posted a picture with the two-word tweet at @BigSchmidtDog: "It begins."
Although freshmen resident students weren't scheduled to move in
to residence halls until 9 a.m. CT Saturday, dozens of students and
their family members were already eager to unpack almost an hour
before the official start time.
Fortunately, several dozen Lindsey Wilson staff and faculty were
already on the A.P. White Campus to help the new students. For
about four hours Saturday, several hundred freshman resident
students were registered, directed and unpacked in the college's
residence halls.
Upperclass resident students return over the next several days.
Fall classes begin Wednesday.
Official enrollment figures will not be available for several
more days, but college officials already know that this fall's
freshman class is the largest in the college's 106-year history.
And with more than 825 students expected to settle in residence
halls by Tuesday night, the college will also have its largest
resident population in school history.
Smooth Transition
On Saturday morning, most new resident students enjoyed the kind
of seamless move Jacob Shirley experienced. Shirley arrived in
Columbia at around 9 a.m. CT, three hours after leaving his of
Harrison, Ohio, home with his parents, Ron and Donna Shirley, and
younger sister Emma.
Shirley said he didn't pack for college until Friday, and he
need but an hour on Saturday to unpack three bags of clothes, a box
of school supplies, a basket of cleaning supplies, a laptop
computer and a tent in his Richardson Hall room.
"It was pretty easy for me," said Shirley, who is a member of
LWC's inaugural wrestling team and plans to major in pre-nursing.
"Everything went just fine."
Saturday's move was also a relatively smooth one for freshman
Ashley Upchurch of Monticello, Ky. She took about two hours to pack
on Friday, and then arrived around 8:45 a.m. CT Saturday on campus
with her parents, Ray and Carolyn, and twin younger sisters, Nikki
and Taylor.
By noon CT Saturday, Upchurch's belongings were unpacked in her
Phillips Hall room, and she and her family were enjoying lunch in
Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center. Upchurch said
she only forgot two items - a cable for her television and a
But her father, Ray, said moving was the easy part. Saying
goodbye to his oldest child later in the day probably would prove
to be more difficult for him and his wife.
Getting settled into a residence hall room was a little more
involved for freshmen roommates Dorothy Karcher of Carrollton, Ky.,
and Emily Chesser of Chaplin, Ky.
The two met last March during tryouts for the LWC cheerleading
squad. After making the squad, they decided to become roommates,
decorating their Phillips Hall room in pink and black with a zebra
theme. Although it took extra time to bring everything together -
and also required a Saturday run to Wal-Mart - the pair had created
a near-perfect residence hall room by the evening.
"It helps you and your roommate come together when you work on
something like this," Chesser said. "You have led separate lives,
but then through this project you become friends and get
Official Welcome
Early Saturday afternoon, the Lindsey Wilson community officially
welcomed the Class of 2013 at the annual Kick-Off Ceremony, held in
Biggers Sports Center.
"This entire campus has worked so hard to have you here today,"
said LWC President William T. Luckey Jr., who is
beginning his 12th year as the college's eighth president.
Luckey told the students that they have "an incredible
opportunity" at LWC.
"You have an opportunity to not only be the largest class in the
history of this college but to also be the best class, if you find
ways to help each other succeed," he said.
New resident students then participated in Hooray, a
community-building event in Biggers Sports Center. The day also
included a picnic at the Emily Hundley President's Home and an
evening on the Campus Quadrangle, sponsored by the LWC Student
Government Association.
Move-In Weekend continued with special events on Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday.
But as LWC Alumni Director Randy Burns '93 reminded
the new resident students at Saturday's Kick-Off Ceremony, they
were embarking on more than a college career.
"You are only going to be a Lindsey Wilson student for a short
period of time. … But you're going to have the opportunity to be a
Blue Raider for the rest of your life," he said.
Opening Week activities continue through Aug.

Joseph Carpenter is a UK based Sharpie artist with a wide array of interests from extreme sports, to music, to art. It is his interest in self-expression and creativity, however that brings him to the Sharpie Blog as our featured artist of the day. Incorporating Sharpie markers allows Carpenter to capture thick lines, smooth lines and pay attention to detail. Mixing traditional with digital tools, this artist creates brilliant images for various U.K. bands, brands and agencies alike. Get to know Joseph and have a look at some of his work below.
Tell me about yourself: Well, my name is Joseph Carpenter and my day job is an assistant printer but I spent three years at the University of Bath studying Illustration. These days I spend most of my spare time within illustration creating new pieces or generally doodling ideas for new bits of work. I'm a massive fan of extreme sports and surround myself with people who share similar interests; this passion extends into music which is where the majority of my work has been commissioned from. I don't really get on with over opinionated people although I'll always make the effort – the same applies for overly aggressive people! I also dislike money because I never have enough.
How would you describe your personal style? Proper tough question…… my style is sort of all over the place, I guess its origins are in my childhood like most artists but in some respects I never really grew up, I have become more experienced in my understandings of how to use light and the difference between thicknesses in line and how much that can bring things to life. If I was going to pin point it, I suppose it's a cross over between Graphic novel art and 80's Cartoons. It's never been a conscious thing just ended up that way!
Scrolling through your site, it seems you have an affinity for posters. Where does this interest come from? Who do you create them for? Poster art, haha… My "passion" (as its been previously described) for posters, has never been a passion as such I fell into it. While I was at University I started producing posters for the manager of my band at the time for the venue he was promoting for, it was something that me and my house mate spent a lot of time on together under the name ZEDISDEAD, Chris (Rowland) and myself had a really great start in the industry producing posters for band such as ACROSS FIVE APRILS, O.P.M and ZEBRAHEAD. After a while we started getting labels and bands personally interested in one off posters for shows. We then went our own separate ways and its really from then on I started getting more involved. I ended up doing posters for WHEATUS, BLEEDING THROUGH and doing album art work for WE ARE THE OCEAN and more recently T-shirts for YOU ME AT SIX.
What is your creation & design process like? This part varies from time to time. As I've grown up I've started to actually map ideas out before I ink anything and I'll always pitch mood boards to clients, consisting of work I like and work that I hope they like! From there, the ideas go back and forth until the client is happy. I'll ink it, do a rough colour, and then get it checked… then I go ahead and finish it off. It's pretty basic but it works for me .
Where do Sharpie markers come into your work? Sharpie markers are an essential part of my inking process. I'll use them to boarder the image using the marker as a thick edge and then I'll use the finer point to fill in the detail. It's the middle point of my work but without it the line work would look shabby and blotchy. I find that Sharpie markers draw a consistent line and don't fade out as I follow my pencil line, this is essential in creating a smooth line which is a must my mind.
Favorite Sharpie? Why? I suppose I'm a bit basic but I love the classic Fine Point just because it delivers so much from one style of nib, and I can ink most of the sections of my work with one pen instead of a selection. I also mainly use black ink as most of my work is digitally coloured.
I also reeeaaallllyyy want a Stainless Steel Marker but I haven't found one yet!
What's your favorite drawing/design that you've ever created? My favorite (see below) is a personal piece of work that was sketched up in my first year of University. It was the start of me finding myself as an illustrator… No one else got it but it just combined everything I loved and I used all my favorite processes to create it. I even have it on my business card now!
If you could only draw one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose? This is easy, I'd draw birds! Birds are awesome, actually awesome. They all look different, they come in all shapes, sizes and colours. You can be super intricate or really simple and they still look awesome. Always loved drawing them and they drop in and out of my work, but I literally doodle birds faces all day at work.
Best piece of advice you've ever gotten: "Don't expect to get rich." This is a daft comment out of context but it has helped me to not be disillusioned about how the industry works. All I care about is that I can be as expressive as I like and I'm consistently creative - which if I were in an office job, I would be unhappy – on more money, but not happy.
Motto to live by:
Do or do not, there is no try.
- Yoda (Star Wars movie)
Are you currently working on anything that you can tell us about? Right now, I'm working on a set of animal drawings for the summer. I asked a bunch of friends to help me out with ideas and I'm putting together a set that will be gifts for everyone but also a personal project that I've tried to but together for ages.
Anything I didn't ask that you would like to add?Big shout out to my friends Iain Macarthur and Chris Rowland, with out them I wouldn't be where I am now. Please check their work out too:

Penn Women's Tennis on Facebook
ITHACA, N.Y. – The University of Pennsylvania women's tennis team (10-8, 2-5 Ivy) completed its season on Sunday afternoon in Ithaca, N.Y. The Quakers fell in a heartbreaker to Cornell (14-4, 3-4) after beginning the match by winning the doubles point. Penn finishes the season with 10 overall victories, its most in five seasons.
The Red and Blue fell behind early, as Stephanie Do and Alex Ion (7-5, 3-4) dropped their match at second doubles for the first of the day. The Quakers would come back and take the overall point, though, winning at third and first doubles. Srinidhi Raghavan and Jaime Yapp-Shing (1-1, 1-0) dropped their opponents for the 8-6 win at three, their first of the season. The No. 44-ranked pair of Sol Eskenazi and Sonya Latycheva (15-2, 6-1) was able to bounce back from a tough loss against Columbia on Friday for their 15th victory of the spring at first doubles, 9-8.
Penn headed into singles play needing to win half of the six matches in order to defeat Cornell. Things did not start well for the Quakers as Do (9-9, 1-6) and Yapp-Shing (6-5, 2-3) were both on the wrong end of the first two matches to finish at second and fourth singles, respectively. Eskenazi (13-3, 5-1) would notch her 13th win of the season at first singles, giving Penn that first victory.
Emma Whitfield (4-5, 0-2) was next to finish at sixth singles, but unfortunately the senior dropped her final match in the Red and Blue in straight sets. Penn needed to win the next two for the overall victory, but was only able to win at third singles. Latycheva (12-5, 4-3) finished her rookie season over .500 in Ivy play, winning her 12th match of the spring.
The Quakers have now finished their regular season play for the spring and will be back in action next fall. They graduate two seniors, Whitfield and co-captain Jules Rodin but return the rest of their young squad.

Listen to Evanescence Radio on iHeartRadio
Amy Lee recently promised to release some new music soon (possibly with Evanescence!), but it might be a while before that happens now that she's a new mommy.
The 32-year-old rocker just welcomed her first child, a baby boy named Jack, to the world this week.
Announcing the new arrival on instagram with an adorable photo, Lee wrote, "Our little cub, Jack Lion Hartzler, is here. I have never known the depths of my heart till now. The world just exploded into technicolor."
Now if only she could announce an official Evanescence comeback, then we'd all have a reason to celebrate.

Exploring Researchers in Dialogue: Linguistic and Educational Perspectives on Observational Data from a Sixth Grade Classroom
This article reflects on a collaborative process between two researchers from different backgrounds conducting a joint-venture classroom observation project focusing on language, communication and special education. Focusing on the connection between explorative learning situations and dialogue in relation to children's learning and identity development, the researchers cooperate on all levels in the research process. The article compares findings when approaching data from two different professional traditions, linguistics and education. The main focus is how each of the researchers approaches the data analysis. The combining of approaches in interpreting and writing is also discussed. Narratives and spoken dialogues are vital in this work; transcripts of video material from a primary school classroom are used as illustrations.

I don'f find..How change the Keyboard layout Language in BT5 KDE?
Could you help me?
Thanks a lot
And in addition...
You should install additional language packs for KDE. For your language, command will be as below:
Replace <lang> with your country shortcut such as: us, en, cn, ru etc.Code:apt-get install aspell-<lang> kde-i10n-<lang> language-pack-kde-<lang> language-pack-kde-<lang>-base language-pack-<lang> language-pack-<lang>-base language-support-<lang> myspell-<lang>
Hope this helps.
trick. with the installer on desktop i set language , then stop/quit/ do not install.
this work for me.
acer 5920g , 345abg , nvidia 8600m
bt5 kde 64bit + acpi + cuda 4.0 / nvidia 270.40 / pyrit
thanks Nemis...it's works
I am new to Linux distros (Mac user), this will be my first install, but I use Dvorak KB layout. Is it available in BT5? If so how do I switch to it?
Thanks brothers
Thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Nemis......
It is the only working method for me in this thread since I am running BT5 KDE from a live CD.
Now, the Keybourd layouts Widget works by clicking it ......
Anyone knows how to change between layouts by a keyboard shortcut ?
When dpkg-reconfigure console-setup is completed, I got an error saying that the media is Read-Only (Live CD).
Hi again ......
I just wanted to add that alx26 method in post #2 worked as well when I used BT5 kde from a usb flash drive (using unetbootin and the iso file) ....
I believe the persistence feature in unetbootin eleminates the read-only drawback, no need to install any language support by the way ....
Only use : sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup from a terminal and wait till it finished then reboot .........
Hope this post helped
Is there a solution for live-cd sessions beside running the installer (and aborting it after language selection)? Something we can put in a script or a way changing files on the cd?

A sprained ankle is an injury that occurs when you roll, twist or turn your ankle in an awkward way. This can stretch or tear the tough bands of tissue (ligaments) that help hold your ankle bones together.
Ligaments help stabilize joints, preventing excessive movement. A sprained ankle occurs when the ligaments are forced beyond their normal range of motion. Most sprained ankles involve injuries to the ligaments on the outer side of the ankle.
Treatment for a sprained ankle depends on the severity of the injury. Although self-care measures and over-the-counter pain medications may be all you need, a medical evaluation might be necessary to reveal how badly you've sprained your ankle and to put you on the path to recovery.
Signs and symptoms of a sprained ankle include:
Some people hear or feel a "pop" at the time of injury.
Call your doctor if you have pain and swelling in your ankle and you suspect a sprain. Self-care measures may be all you need, but talk to your doctor to discuss whether you should have your ankle evaluated. If your signs and symptoms are severe, it's possible you may have broken a bone in your ankle or lower leg.
A sprain occurs when your ankle is forced to move out of its normal position, which can cause one or more of the ankle's ligaments to stretch, partially tear or tear completely.
Causes of a sprained ankle might include:
Factors that increase your risk of a sprained ankle include:
A sprained ankle left untreated, engaging in activities too soon after spraining your ankle or spraining your ankle repeatedly might lead to the following complications:
Many people don't seek medical attention for mild ankle sprains. If your sprain is severe, however, your family doctor may refer you to a doctor who specializes in sports medicine or orthopedic surgery.
You may want to write a list that includes:
Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
During the physical exam, your doctor will check for points of tenderness. He or she will move the joint in various ways to check your range of motion and to see if a particular position or movement causes pain.
If the injury is severe, your doctor may recommend one or more of the following imaging scans to rule out a broken bone or to better evaluate the soft tissue damage:
Treatment for a sprained ankle depends on the severity of your injury. Many people simply treat their injuries at home.
In most cases, over-the-counter pain relievers — such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others), naproxen (Aleve, others) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) — are enough to manage the pain of a sprained ankle.
Because walking with a sprained ankle might be painful, you may need to use crutches until the pain subsides. Your doctor might also recommend that you use a removable plastic device such as a splint.
Once the swelling goes down, a physical therapist can help you with exercises to restore your ankle's range of motion, strength, flexibility and balance.
Balance and stability training is especially important to retrain the ankle muscles to work together to support the joint. These exercises may involve various degrees of balance challenge, such as standing on one leg.
If you sprained your ankle while exercising or participating in a sport, talk to your doctor about when you can resume your activity. You may need to wear an ankle brace or wrap your ankle to protect it from re-injury.
If your ankle joint is unstable, your doctor may refer you to a musculoskeletal specialist for evaluation. You may need a cast or walking boot to immobilize your joint so that it can heal properly. In rare cases of severe ligament tears, particularly in elite athletes, your doctor might recommend surgery to repair the damage.
For immediate self-care of an ankle sprain, try the R.I.C.E. approach:
