In the late Middle Ages, Worms was a crossroads of the great trade routes and a site of important ecclesiastical and imperial decisions. It was also a popular layover for pilgrims heading south. They prayed before the statue of the Madonna and refreshed themselves in the monastery with the wine the canons produced from the Liebfrauen vineyard. As such, the wine's fame was virtually predestined to spread far beyond the borders of Worms. View all Valckenberg Wines
About Other GermanView a map of Other German wineries Other regions of Germany that are producing and exporting wine to the US are the Pfaltz and Nahe. The Pfaltz region, south of the Rheingau, is making both Riesling and Gewurztraminer. These white wines are generally of excellent value. The fruit character is a bit more zingy and the acidity less sharp than the Mosel & Rheingau wines. So while often not as complex, still very refreshing and usually affordable. The Nahe region is closer to the Mosel and, like the others, produces the best wines from the Riesling grape. Diverse soils here give the wines mineral flavors, but with a broader appeal.
More landwein and tafelwein producers are creating Riesling in the dry, crisp style and exporting it to the US. These are often great values and deilcious for everyday drinking.
About Germany
White Wine GuruWith some of the steepest and northernmost vineyards in the world, as well as the coolest climate, Germany produces some of the best white wines in the world, mainly Riesling. Delicate, age-worthy, intense and elegant are the typical descriptions for these wines. Note that "sweet" is not a common descriptor because the idea that most German wines are sweet is just not so. In fact, the majority of wines made in Germany are dry and more recently, the country is exporting value wines that are easy to drink, extremely food friendly and, luckily for some, containing labels that are easier to read!
The classification system of Germany is somewhat confusing. Like the rest of the old world, there's some hierarchy to it all. The categories are: Tafelwien (table wine), Landwein (land wine, similar to France's Vin de Pays) and the first "Q" level, QbA. QbA wines are easy-drinking and inexpensive – the only requirement being that the wine must come from one of Germany's thirteen official wine growing regions. The final level is QmP, which is the strictest level of German wines. The qualification consists of 6 levels, based on ripeness level at harvest, though that does not always translate into sweetness level.
Here are a few definitions to help in picking out a German QmP wine:

But In fact, Corgan calls Monuments to an Elegy "one of the easiest and most pleasurable albums" he's ever made.

White Sox's Cose thriving on mound04/28/2013 7:42 PM ET
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com
Jake Cose, then a sophomore corner infielder at San Joaquin Delta College in California, was messing around on the mound one day toward the beginning of his team's 2011 season, when one of his coaches grabbed a radar gun.
The native of nearby Stockton, Calif. was clocked at 94 mph in a moment that would prove to be the beginning of the end for his career as a position player.
Now a starter for Class A Kannapolis, Cose displayed the fruits of two years' worth of pitching development Sunday, yielding one hit and a walk while striking out six over seven shutout innings as the Intimidators were edged by the Charleston RiverDogs, 1-0.
After that moment on the mound in 2011, Cose began closing for Delta College. Toward the end of the year, he made a few starts. He finished the season with a 2.31 ERA, striking out 27 and walking 10 over 35 innings.
The White Sox took a flier on the right-hander in the 27th round of the 2011 Draft, and in the ensuing 18 months, Cose has shown a lot of promise as he's slowly turned himself into a professional pitcher.
"I feel like a lot of it was self-taught, just trial and error. Messing around a lot playing catch, different grips, see what's moving, what's not," he said. "Not to take away any credit from the pitching coaches, they do a great job. But the movement on my slider and changeup, stuff like that, that's all trial and error. I never pitched a full year [in college] so I'm still learning, trying to pick things up."
The 22-year-old has proven to be a fast learner. In his first 11 professional appearances -- all out of the bullpen -- with Rookie-level Bristol in 2011 he recorded an 8.18 ERA. Then last year after his first three starts, still in the Appalachian League, Cose had a 13.50 ERA in 10 frames.
After that ignominious start over his next nine starts for Bristol, he compiled a 2.63 ERA in 51 2/3 innings and concluded the year with a three shutout frames in an appearance with Kannapolis.
This season, Cose is 2-2 with a 2.67 ERA in 27 innings. He's struck out 22 and walked 10. He attributes the turnaround to a mechanical tweak he made on his own.
"From last year, I feel like I've progressed an enormous amount. My first three starts last year were just awful," he said. "So I kind of took a step back and took it upon myself to lower my arm angle a bit. I was over the top, maybe a high three-quarters guy, dropped it to low three-quarters, maybe even side-arm.
"That was just my idea. The organization didn't like it at first, but once they saw it was successful, they let me do my own thing. I thought it was pretty cool of them. I feel like I'm a completely different pitcher now than I was at the beginning of last season."
As he continues his pitching experiment, Cose said he feels that, even with the promising initial results, he has a lot of room for growth.
"I want to turn my slider into a sharper slider. As of right now, it's probably more like a slurve. Like any pitcher I would like to pump up the [velocity], get bigger, stronger, hopefully get to the mid-90. I've been playing baseball all my life, so I've always just kind of known the pitching thing. Guess I'm a quick learner," he said, laughing.
On Sunday, Charleston's Taylor Dugas scored on a wild pitch in the eighth inning to account for the game's only run. Gabriel Encinas, who started opposite Cose, scattered five hits and two walks while fanning three over six scoreless innings of his own.

I get the same crash in backtrack 5 (backtrack5-gnome-32)ã
I have the same error too
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
I got the the same error, in BT-5 Gnome-64 and KDE-64.
I'm booting on default in VMware 7.1.4 on a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit from the downloaded iso's. So not burned on cd or made a bootable usb.
Sometimes the error happens with the 1st click on the 'next' button sometimes later, with the KDE version it can even happen when installer is starting up freezing the whole session.
After a couple of new attempts i just reboted the host and got the gnome-version finally up and running. KDE still on a nice iso file.
I gave up on the KDE-version on VMware and swiched to VirtualBox. After a few attemps KDE got installed. But when I tried to make a 2de install the installer started to refuse again.
The other problem i got with the working KDE-version is to install the guest-additions. The installer log tells me it can't find the headers for my type of kernel in /lib/modules/2.3.28/build or soures
The gnome-version installed very nice without any problems on ViruatBox. Even the guest-additions installed with auto-run.
I finaly got gnome and kde 64 installer working in vmware, check Backtrack 5 Fixes forum

I get the same crash in backtrack 5, no one can help us ?
I got the same problem. Actually, this is the second problem I encounter since in downloaded BT 5 (KDE 64bit). (startx didn't worked, but thanks to this forum it works now.)
But I want to INSTALL backtrack, but I got exactly the same error as mentioned above.
Is there nobody that can help us????


description: Bull sharks are known man-eaters. Crittercam® goes with them to see how they hunt.

is_us_only: false

title: Bull Sharks

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
There are only three sharks that regularly attack humans: the massive great white, the swift, sleek tiger and the often-ignored but dangerous bull shark.
Mike Heithaus from Florida International University studies the bull.
Mike Heithaus: “Probably get the name bull shark because they’re so big and stocky. I kind of think of them more as the pit bull of the seas.”
It’s a fitting description;
Bull sharks can be tenacious and aggressive.
They’re not as large as the great white, but female bulls can grow to over 11 feet and weigh up to 500 pounds.
They also have one very special characteristic:
Mike Heithaus: “One of the most amazing things about these bull sharks is that they go from marine to freshwater with no problems.”
Bulls have been found thousands of miles upstream in both the Mississippi and Amazon rivers.
They also are believed to hunt in the same shallow coastal waters where unsuspecting beachgoers frolic in the summer.
They are also opportunistic hunters… they’ll eat just about anything.
Mike wants to know more about bull sharks and their feeding habits so he’s attached Crittercams to the sharks – underwater cameras equipped with satellite tags.
The Crittercam reveals at least one other bull in the region, which raises the intriguing possibility that these sharks may be interacting.
It also suggests the bull shark may be a keystone species, which means they may be a critical influence on the structure of the ecosystem.
Satellite data also confirmed that the bulls stay put, never venturing far from where the team caught them…
That’s more proof that these animals may be an important part of the coastal environment.
But in regards to sharks and us, it showed that bulls do like to hunt and hang out in the same shallow waters we flock to every summer.
Ultimately though, it does us all good to remember that you are more likely to get struck by lightning, than bit by a shark.

Lana Del Rey sampled on new French Montana track
Listen to Lana Del Rey on iHeartRadio | Listen to French Montana on iHeartRadio
Lana Del Rey's vocals are making an appearance on French Montana's new track "All For You."
The almost five-minute song is featured on the rapper's newly-released mixtape called "Coke Boys 4." He uses bits of Lana's song "Video Games" in between other verses from Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa.
HipHopWired.com reports that "All For You" was originally meant for French Montana's last album Excuse My French, but didn't make the final cut.
Meantime Lana Del Rey fans will have to wait a little longer to hear anything new from the singer. She has been working on an album called Ultraviolence for the better part of 2013, but has yet to reveal a release date.

students meet and mingle with Nobel prize winners
Emily Waltz September 12, 2002
graduate students leaned forward in their chairs, making sure to catch every word
of the Nobel laureate's story. Willis Lamb, who won the Nobel Prize in physics
in 1955, told his captivated audience about his experiences with legends like
J. Robert Oppenheimer and Max Born, and his lifelong work in science. He spoke
slowly and quietly, and the students couldn't get enough of it. That
was just one scene from the 52nd meeting of Nobel Laureates in Lindau, Germany.
Held the first week of July, the meeting is designed to bring together Nobel Prize
winners, young scientists and students from around the world in a relaxed atmosphere
that encouraged them to network and get acquainted. The event also attracted media
attention that contributed to the public understanding of science. Laura
Swafford, research assistant in physical chemistry, and Jonathan Sprinkle, research
assistant in electrical engineering, were among 600 young scientists chosen to
hobnob with seventeen Nobel laureates in chemistry, physics and medicine. After
nominations from Vanderbilt, Swafford and Sprinkle were chosen by different sponsors
of the event: Swafford by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Sprinkle by
Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU).
According to Swafford
and Sprinkle, laureates lectured each day, but most came without a lesson plan
and took questions from the student audience instead. Students could find one-on-one
time with the laureates by staying after lectures to ask questions. Answers were
often more than ten minutes long, Sprinkle said. A German buffet held
the first evening for all of the participants drew a crowd for a night of dancing
and mingling. Students were also treated to a guided tour of Lindau, located on
Lake Constance, and a concert at the City Theater during their trip.
Joining Swafford and Sprinkle were doctoral students from the Czech Republic,
Germany, Hungary, Israel, Norway, Poland, Switzerland, Venezuela, and other students
from the U.S. The variety of ethnicities evoked amusing and sometimes heated discussions
during the five-day event. Laureates sat down with the students for lunch and
dinner each day to chat or argue – whichever they preferred. "I sat
with Sir Harold Kroto and his wife at a picnic lunch," Swafford explained. "Sir
Kroto got into a heated discussion with the student sitting next to him about
the integration of religion and science. But both of them were the type who could
do that – just yell at each other without any hard feelings," Swafford said. "Meanwhile,
the rest of us had a very nice conversation with Sir Kroto's wife."
Olah, who received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1994, stirred up a large audience
at his lecture on global warming when he proposed that nuclear power was the only
viable alternative to fossil fuels. "You just can't say that to 600 graduate students
from around the world and expect them to smile and nod," Swafford explained.
Lamb was Swafford's favorite: "His mind wanders and he speaks very softly – he's
89 years old. But he was so interesting that none of us minded the fact that he
always got sidetracked. There was no attacking Professor Lamb's ideas." To fifteen
students in a small classroom setting, Lamb and his wife, who sat next to him,
shared their experiences as scientists over the last 70 years. "He has met and
worked with most of the greats: Born, Oppenheimer, Milliken, Bloch…and if he hasn't
met them, his wife has. She did her post doc with Einstein for five years," Swafford
recalled. The laureates gathered before an audience at two roundtable
discussions during the week. The topics were "The Role of Chemistry and Biochemistry
in the Post-genomic Scientific World" and "What can Chemistry and the Scientific
Community contribute in Alfred Nobel's Spirit to the Benefit of Mankind in the
21st Century."
Like many of
the lectures, the roundtable discussions turned political, leading to remarks
that were inevitably provocative when delivered to such a globally diverse group.
Sprinkle noted the laureates' frequent disagreement. "Many of them had ideas on
how they'd solve the problems in the Middle East if they were the U.S. president.
In a way they were trying to get back to the Renaissance man – a scientist, philosopher
and politician all in one. And it just doesn't work for all scientists."
The experience at the
Nobel Laureate meeting will have lasting effects on Sprinkle and Swafford. After
a few lectures from laureates and discussions with international graduate students,
Sprinkle restructured a teaching method he had been tossing around for a while:
"Things the laureates said confirmed a theory I'd been thinking about: the key
is to get students to ask the right questions. That's the first step. The second
is to teach them to know what to do when they get the answers. It's something
I'd like to teach my engineering students," Sprinkle said. Trading stories
with the elite group of international graduate students was also enlightening
and inspirational, Sprinkle and Swafford agreed. Swafford recalled the benefits
of talking with students around the world about their experiences in graduate
school and in life: "I had a fascinating discussion with some Israeli students
on the current Israeli-Palestinian conflicts." Sprinkle said that learning
the teaching philosophies of the other students and the laureates was the most
practical thing he took away from the meeting. He explained the responsibility
he felt after listening to the laureates' lectures: "Nobel laureates have done
great things, that's why they're recognized. But they don't look at themselves
as the frontiersmen of science, they look to students coming out of college –
to us. So they put a burden on us as the next generation to do the research and
to train other people for the future."

Thanksgiving in St. Barth's
St. Barth's is truly one of my most favorite places in the world. Just 3 hours from New York and you are in complete paradise! This time I was with a group of close friends and it was perfect; we laughed, ate, slept, and swam--what a luxury. From the gorgeous beaches to the amazing people-watching to the charming little shops and restaurants, they are all part of what makes St. Barth's such a beautiful oasis in the Caribbean. With the biggest boats and the tiniest creperies, it all makes me want to go back time and time again.

Gadgets and Children
Hi fellow mums!
Do you consider gadgets like iPad and smartphones beneficial for children? There are a lot of educational apps for children, but will gadgets really be useful or beneficial or more of a danger?

They have their good points and bad points. It really depends on the child, their age, the way in which they're using it, how much they're using it, and what kind of programs they're using!

Dear fellow Mums. I am wary about letting my 2 years old and 4 years old use an ipad. However every where we go children are using is. How can I explain to my daughters the bad its bad effects?
My 4 years old is quick to notice that if someone is using it then it must be good. This makes harder to explain to her. She also like to play games because she saw it with the other children. If this is unavoidable, what online games should I give her?
In using gadgets, I am more lenient with my 4 years old and not with my 2 years old because of her age. What non gadget activity should I give my 2 years old so she is not entice to play gadget games of her older sister?
Can these gadget games have an effect on the eyesight of my children?
In using the gadget game, how many hours are allowed per children per day?

Use of Gadgets among children

Dear 2jhoan,
Thanks for posting this question; I'm sure many of the parents on this forum are also considering this.
There is some interesting information by a Professor in Human Development on the use of iPads by children here. He writes that they can lower attention spans and they take away much of the developmental skills and creativity involved in non-electronic playing and learning. I think iPads do have their place but, as this professor recommends, they are best played with alongside an adult who can guide and encourage the child and respond to them rather than being used to give the parent some quiet time. For age 4 no more than 40 minutes of screen time is recommended a day (this includes the television).
If they are only used within these time limits then your daughter's eyesight should not be compromised.
One way to help your daughters to understand why it is best to only use iPads in moderation is to have so much creative fun doing other things they ask to play outside, walk through a forest, make a mosaic etc rather than sit and play with an iPad.
I think that it will be difficult for your 2 year old to not want to play on the iPad if she sees her older sister doing so. Therefore, it is probably best if your older daughter can have her allocated iPad time (preferably with an adult involved too, as explained above) when/where your younger daughter cannot see.
I really like the imagination tree for fantastic, simple, fun and creative ideas with young children. You could create a 'maths investigation area' for your daughters to enjoy or try writing or drawing in coloured salt or perhaps make your own slime or ice sculptures. The possibilities are endless!
Warm wishes,

Educational Loans
Student loan eligibility from federal or private sources must be certified by the university before funds can be disbursed. Please see Tuition and Living Costs for estimated expenses financial aid may cover.
If you're a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you'll likely be eligible for federal student loans. To determine your eligibility for federal student loans you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is available January 1 of each year and has a priority application date of March 15. It is recommended that you have your FAFSA completed at least by June 1. Students who are eligible to complete the FAFSA are US Citizens, Permanent Residents and other eligible non-citizens. Please watch this two minute video for help with the financial aid application process.
Once your FAFSA has been successfully processed, you will be offered the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan as well as the Graduate PLUS Loan. Graduate students may borrow a maximum of $20,500 in Federal Direct Unsubsidized loans per year. Upon credit check approval, you may be eligible to borrow the federal Graduate PLUS Loan to cover the remaining costs within your cost of attendance/budget (minus other loans and financial aid).
An alternative loan is also available to choose instead of Graduate PLUS. The amount for the alternative loan is the cost of education minus financial aid awards. The federal government does not regulate alternative loans. As a result, the terms of the loan will vary from lender to lender. When you choose a lender, you will fill out a loan application/promissory note directly with the lender you select and, once approved, you will submit the completed Alternative Loan Lender Form to the Financial Aid Team.
If you choose to pursue a private loan, we recommend applying no sooner than a few months before you start the program. Most private loans are credit-based and the approval decision may expire. Check with your lender about the length of time your application will remain valid before you apply.
For an international student, there may be more loan options (and better loan terms) if you have a U.S. citizen or permanent resident co-signer. There may also be loan options if you do not have a co-signer. We are not able to recommend any lenders specifically but we work with all banks and lending institutions. We, as the University of Texas at Austin, cannot be your co-signer.

text: Does anyone have any advice in relation to daily care? Mum is on her own in the day, my brother lives with her and I'm just about to move back too. We care for her in the evenings and take her out at weekends, however I feel that she needs company (and mental stimulation) during the week. I'm considering giving up work, but I'm unsure. I would like someone to take her for walks, shopping (not for food, but to her favourite haunt - Matalan!) and to generally keep her occupied and for company. I'm also worried about having strangers in the house. Does anyone have any advice/experience in this area that they can share?


text: Shortly after I posted a story about 14 year old Ariel Winter wanting to be emancipated from her parents because she wanted to be free to live under her own rules and to be with her 17 year old boyfriend, news came to light that Ariel's sister, Shanelle Gray had petitioned the court for temporary guardianship of Ariel. In the petition and the one that Shanelle had filed for herself 20 years ago, she alleges abuse, both physical and verbal at the hands of their mother. The temporary guardianship was granted until November 20th. Now, Ariel's mother and Ariel's brother who played Pugsley Addams in The Addams Family movies have both come out and said there is no abuse and there was no abuse 20 years ago when Shanelle made her claims. Apparently Ariel's mother has doctor's notes and notes from stylists confirming there has been no physical abuse. She does not mention the verbal abuse though. Shanelle has struggled to find acting work after being fired from The Bold And The Beautiful back in 2005. You know I hate abuse in any form. If it is true then the mom should go to jail. If it is not true, and Ariel just wants to do what she wants, then that sucks for the mom because no one will remember anything but the fact she was accused of abuse.

Investigators were confident the touch DNA they brought to Utah's crime lab a couple years ago would confirm they had the right suspect. But an analysis pointed to someone else, according to lab director Jay Henry.
In fact, the lab clears about a third of the people initially suspected of a crime, Henry said. But funding constraints have reduced the lab staff over the past few years, creating long delays in the kind of analysis that cleared the innocent man. Now the lab is asking legislators for two more DNA analysts to handle the mounting evidence and help mend a lab still limping from a "brain drain" it has experienced for years.
Low wages and state budget cuts have cost the lab about half its staff since 2005, including two computer forensics specialists and its only firearms and toolmarks expert, creating a backlog of cases in a lab that now processes about 10,000 pieces of evidence every year. Ideally, the lab would turn an analysis report in three weeks. But the average completion time has tripled for crimes that don't have the priority of a violent felony. Too much lag time in getting lab results can result in valuable evidence being excluded from trials or force judges to delay them.
Making progress • In 2005, state forensic scientists earned starting salaries of $28,000 a year, or about $13.55 an hour, making them the lowest-paid in the country. Some left for better-paying jobs out of state or in the private sector. By 2006, the Utah Department of Human Resources Management (UDHRM) estimated that salaries for Utah's forensic scientists were 28 percent below average for the western United States.
As staffers left, the work load kept piling up until it nearly doubled.
DNA can now be identified from hair samples, or from a surface that was merely touched. The lab can discern DNA profiles from ever smaller amounts of blood: Several years ago, the lab needed a drop of blood at least the size of a dime. Now the same evidence can be extracted from a speck the size of a pinhead. But these advances mean there's twice as much evidence, even though the number of new cases has remained fairly stable at about 15 to 20 per week.
"We've been victims of our success," said Henry.
A decision on new hires for the lab likely won't come until later in the session, but Henry is hopeful. The lab has been slowly rebuilding its team, improving retention with better pay, and this year the state may approve funding for a new facility.
In the past two years, lawmakers have given the lab the money it needed to pay veterans staffers proportionately more than people with half their experience. Now the average pay is about $24 an hour, which a National Compensation Association of State Governments report pegs at about 10.5 percent below average for the Mountain West public sector, according to the UDHRM.
Henry also has been able to replace the firearms and toolmarks expert, and in July, the Legislature gave the lab two chemists to keep up with Utah's newest concern: spice and bath salts.
"That's really been a barn burner for us the past couple years. It wasn't even an issue in 2010, but just a terrible issue in 2011 and 2012," Henry said.
Lawmakers are seeing a return on that investment: In November, they proposed adding new analogs for spice and bath salts new combinations of legal compounds to produce the same dangerous result, identified by the lab's new hires to the controlled substance list. Lawmakers intend to vote on adding even more analogs later this session.
New lab is needed • While delays in processing evidence can be frustrating for prosecutors, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said he understands that the lab serves the entire state that's 140 agencies with historically scarce resources.
"I can empathize with [Henry], what his challenges are. Sometimes they can get burdened, but they have never lost their professionalism," Gill said. "They have always done more for the dollars invested in them. The return on investment from the taxpayer has always been good."
But that investment must continue, he added. Under-funding the lab is like giving a law officer a gun but not paying for the bullets, Gill said.
In the future, the lab wants to hire two new computer forensics specialists to replace the pair lost to budget cuts in 2008. Hard drives once measured in gigabytes now store terabytes, and it's taking longer to keep up with the mounting data, Henry said.
Henry also has his sights set on a new $35.6 million lab not just for his team, but to house the medical examiner's office and the Utah Department of Agriculture labs. The crime lab lacks space for ballistics testing, which has to be done off-site, the chemical storage room is too small, there's no dedicated training and conference space, and its information technology is dated. If a fire ever broke out, the sprinkler system would damage its expensive equipment; a new fire suppression system wouldn't.
On Feb. 5, Department of Public Safety Commissioner Lance Davenport pitched the new lab to the legislature's Infrastructure and General Government Appropriations Subcommittee. Funding for the lab is a priority in Gov. Gary Herbert's recommended budget for 2014.
"It's been a top priority for [the departments that would use it] for five or six years," Davenport said.

EDGE leader Kayla Clark of Greensburg, Ky., left, addresses LWC
freshmen June 3 in a
classroom in the Jim & Helen Lee Fugitte Science Center.
Looking on is LWC student
Jasmine Hammond of Columbia, who will be a peer leader this fall
in the college's
Freshman Year Experience program.
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The Lindsey Wilson College community
officially began welcoming members of the Class of 2014 on
Thursday, June 3. And if the first three orientation days for
freshmen are any indication, it appears the college will have one
of its largest incoming classes in the school's 107-year
A total of 362 freshmen attended the first three EDGE days, held
June 3-5. The college will have two more before the 2010 fall
semester gets under way on Aug. 18.
EDGE -- which stands for education,
development, growth and experience -- is a daylong orientation
program for incoming LWC freshmen. The day introduces freshmen to
the LWC community and gives them several opportunities to meet the
college's faculty, staff and students.
College officials don't expect four more EDGE days of more than
225 students, but they like the way things started.
"A lot of students and their family members want to go through
orientation as early as possible so they have their summers free
until classes start in August," said LWC Dean of Students Chris Schmidt. "But we were
very pleased with the turnout on our first EDGE day. (June3) was
the largest single first-day crowd we've had in the history of the
program, and the day went incredibly well, which is a testament to
the staff and faculty who participated."
At EDGE, the LWC students are introduced to the college in a
variety of settings -- in small break-out groups where they met
some of their new classmates and a handful of the college's
upperclassmen; at lunch in the Roberta D. Cranmer Dining &
Conference Center; and in Biggers Sports Center, where they
completed paperwork and left with a class schedule for the fall
"By the end of the day, we want students to know what to expect
when they return for classes in August," Schmidt said. "That makes
the start of the school year much less stressful for them and their
family members."
Schmidt spoke to the new students' family members at a gathering
in V.P. Henry Auditorium. At the meeting, he told family members
that taking an active interest in their students' college careers
will help ensure a successful four years at Lindsey Wilson.
Meanwhile, students heard what to expect in college.
"When I got into college, I realized I was in a while new game,"
biology instructor Tabitha Ellis told a group
of students in the J.L. Turner Leadership Center on the June 3 EDGE
One of the messages students heard in their breakout sessions was
the importance of getting involved.
"It is important to find something you can do in life and love,"
Freshman Advisor Jennifer Furkin told another
group of students on June 3 in the Jim & Helen Lee Fugitte
Science Center. "Finding something you all love may take some time
in college, but this is the place to do it."
And judging from some freshmen's comments, the messages were
"I learned a little bit more about campus life and what it takes
to be successful," said Iseal Reyes, who attended the June 3 EDGE
day with fellow Danville, Ky., residents Jonathan Tanner and Zach
Lynch. "I also learned a lot about the history of the college,
things I didn't know before."
The final two EDGE days of 2010 will be July
23-24. For more information about EDGE, contact the LWC Admissions Office at
email@example.com, (800) 264-0138 or (270) 384-8100. Register

Best Of :: Food & Drink
OK, OK, it's a bit of a stretch to call a burger at an upscale Asian restaurant "lowbrow," especially considering the abundance of fantastic, legitimately proletariat burgers in L.A. But the Spice Table's burger is, in its soul, a fast-food burger — or at least it's modeled on one. Two patties come draped in Kraft American cheese with pickles, lettuce, tomato and mayo. It has nothing to do with those giant "gourmet" burgers that upscale joints like to serve. The fact that Spice Table's burgers are made from ground short rib, the fact that the pickles are made with a curry brine, the fact that the mayo has shallots in it, only serves to make the flavor of this burger more intense. Oh, and the sambal? It's like the spicy icing on a meaty cake. It's totally reminiscent of fast food, thus stoking your childish lust yet totally upgraded in the ingredients department — which makes a burger we can be proud to call lowbrow. 114 S. Central Ave., dwntwn. (213) 620-1840, thespicetable.com.

In this era of gastropubs and fusion bistros, it comes as a welcome relief to enter a place that still calls itself a "chophouse," as does Suzanne Tracht's 11-year-old West Hollywood restaurant, Jar. The moniker is a signal to other beautifully atavistic traits: a maitre d' in a suit and tie, white tablecloths, an iceberg wedge on the menu, a playlist of Sinatra and Armstrong and Nina Simone — and some of the best steaks in Los Angeles. Not only will your dry-aged Kansas City steak or your filet of beef or your prime rib-eye arrive perfectly cooked and presented, it will be served with a little white ceramic boat of sauce like the perfect accessory (a cufflink, a pocket square). The beef is so tender that it hardly needs the lobster béarnaise in the first place, but you are not here for restraint. (Think to yourself: What would Frank do?) Order a martini or two, then the stellar chocolate pudding for dessert. 8225 Beverly Blvd. (323) 655-6566, thejar.com.

Michael Cimarusti's seafood palace on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood earlier this summer celebrated its seventh birthday, a suitably biblical number for a fish restaurant with an excellent pastry kitchen. In those seven years, Providence has neither plateaued nor reversed direction: It has gotten better, kind of a stunning achievement for a restaurant that was worth 2 Michelin stars back when they gave them out in this town. Cimarusti and his crew manage something rare: a combination of technical mastery and playfulness, and a willingness to change things up instead of resting on their considerable laurels. The menu transforms as frequently as the fish swim in and out of their seasonal waters, the staff forages for local greenery, and the plates emerge from the kitchen like small epiphanies. Maybe you can credit it all to the fact that the chef and the general manager like to go fishing out of San Pedro on their few days off. 5955 Melrose Ave., Hlywd. (323) 460-4170, providencela.com.

Back in 2007, when Judy Ornstein first opened her neighborhood café FOOD, she had a recycling brainstorm: Why not install a plastic, serve-yourself, all-you-can-drink dispenser and fill it with filtered H20, ice cubes and whatever fruity odds and ends she found in the kitchen? Sometimes there are hunks of pineapple sweetly infusing the cold water; other times it's a mind-bendingly thirst-quenching day spa mainstay of cucumber slices and handfuls of fresh mint. Often they go refreshingly tropical with floating orange, lime and lemon slices. Ornstein's light, rejuvenating, bright idea also doubles as an art installation that changes daily: Some have compared the dispenser, sitting in a far corner next to a stack of glasses, to wallpaper in a ladies' restroom circa 1968 or a freeze-frame from a Trix cereal commercial. But we think it recalls a dreamy, zero-gravity fruit salad experiment at NASA — and what's not to like about that? 10571 W. Pico Blvd., W.L.A. (310) 441-7770, food-la.com.

Four dollars for a cup of coffee? Before you spit out your Starbucks, hear us out: There's a revolution going on in the java world that has little to do with the over-barbecued cafe loco you're used to and everything to do with small organic farms in South America that are churning out product with the kind of terroir previously associated only with wine. Now, we're not so sure about hints of chocolate and pomegranate in our perfect, 195-degree cup of Commissary joe, but it is super smooth and low on acid. Props to Intelligentsia Coffee for kickstarting this thing in L.A. But what we like about the 2-year-old Coffee Commissary in West Hollywood is that it's simple, casual and gimmick-free. Nobody's slurping and "cupping" this stuff, and you won't be huffed on if you don't know your Coava from your Victrola. Hot water is swirled over a cone of precious grinds, with the resulting brew transferred to a thick mug. That's it. 801 N. Fairfax Ave., #106, W. Hlywd. (323) 782- 1465, coffeecommissary.com.

On a chic strip of shops near a leafy Sherman Oaks neighborhood filled with film-industry types, Sweet Butter is designed to feel as if you've stumbled into a sidewalk pastry shop in Paris. Fleur de sel caramel brownies, butter-rich croissants, bread pudding with brioche (in coconut-lemon and chocolate versions), cinnamon muffins filled with homemade peach or strawberry jam, plum-lemon bars and savory bacon-cheddar scones are churned out by three in-house pastry chefs. Founder Leslie Danelian, a former food stylist and longtime caterer, keeps the charm factor high but the prices low: Mouth-watering chocolate chip cookies are $2, muffins and scones $2.75. The pastry items rotate, so each day Sweet Butter's glass case is filled with surprises. The French county–style restaurant offers full breakfast and lunch menus, with items such as grilled turkey, fig jam and bleu cheese sandwiches. 13824 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks.

Seeing in the Dark is Awesome
By Johnny come lately
from Miami FL
I haven't found anything wrong with this product. I found my contact lenses in the dark. I have been looking for the right eye for three weeks. Then I used my night vision Monocular and was able to see the contact lens. AWESOME!Excellent Device!
Portable, compact & great design
By Gadget Man
from Cayce, SC
Very nice. Compact enough to fit into a cell phone holder on one's belt. If there is a power outage and your flashlight dies, you will be able to see with this. Investigating bumps in the night without using a flashlight is cool per my daughter.

Cool product but very limited sight distance
By LabLovers
from Bel Air, MD
This is a neat product, but not for us. We wanted to use it to watch wildlife in our backyard, but you can't see very far. After looking through the lens for a few minutes and then looking away, your vision is affected by looking through the monocular with the bright illumination. I'm not sure who this item would suit best.

Pound on the ground with Gore and Co.
YES: Frank Gore busted up the middle for six yards on the game's first offensive play, then ripped over left tackle for 12 yards two plays later. The tone of the game had been set. The Niners kept pounding the rock throughout the evening with Gore and Kendall Hunter, who combined to tote the ball 26 times for 98 yards rushing. The Niners didn't end up with the prolific yardage on the ground that they have in several other games this year, but they were effective in beating on the Arizona defense to soften its interior and set up play-action in the passing game.
Rattle the skeleton of John Skelton
YES: The Niners got some big hits on Skelton and kept constant pressure on him throughout the evening, never allowing the Arizona quarterback to get into a consistent rhythm even though he was forced to pass practically every down after the Cardinals abandoned the run. Skelton stood up to the pressure while throwing 52 times, but he was knocked around a lot in the process and was dumped for four sacks, two by Aldon Smith, who pursued him relentlessly as the game progressed. Skelton also was hit at least six other times by San Francisco defenders, who left him battered and flustered by game's end.
Get the passing game back on track
YES: After two subpar games, quarterback Alex Smith was in record form, setting a new NFL standard with a 94.7 completion percentage with a minimum of 15 attempts. Smith got it going with a sensational first half in which he completed 14 of 15 passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns, and he was a perfect 4 for 4 in the second half to finish 18 of 19 for 232 yards with two short touchdown passes to Michael Crabtree and a 47-yard scoring strike to Randy Moss. Smith completed passes to nine different receivers and made good decisions and reads to put the pass back in San Francisco's offense.
Stuff Arizona's run game and force Cards to go to the air
YES: The Cardinals were completely stoned on the ground, finishing with just seven yards rushing on nine attempts. LaRod Stephens-Howling had an 11-yard run but was pushed backward just about every other time he touched the football to finish with six yards rushing on eight carries. Without that 11-yarder the Cardinals would have finished with negative yardage on the ground. As it was, Arizona had the franchise's lowest rushing total in a game since 1953 while the 49ers tied a franchise record for fewest rushing yards allowed in a game, matching an effort in 1972 against the New Orleans Saints.
Limit the impact of Larry Fitzgerald
YES: The Niners took Fitzgerald out of the game early – literally – and Arizona's big-play receiver was held in check throughout the evening. Fitzgerald finished with five receptions for 52 yards, but he had just one catch in the first half and had three of his receptions during Arizona's last-gasp drive in the game's final four minutes. His longest catch went for 16 yards, and more than half of the throws Skelton sent his way – Fitzgerald was targeted 11 times during the game – fell incomplete. Fitzgerald also was flagged early in the game for offensive pass interference to negate an Arizona first down.
Pin back Patrick Peterson on punt returns
YES: Andy Lee did a spectacular job of pinning Peterson into corners with his booming punts, and Peterson never could get out of them as San Francisco's punt coverage unit peeled its ears back and came after him with both ferociousness and disciplined angles. Peterson often was fielding punts near the sidelines and showed his frustration when he tossed the ball high in the air after being forced out of bounds following a six-yard return in the fourth quarter – Peterson's longest return of the game. Peterson was tripped up by gunner C.J. Spillman after a one-yard return earlier in the quarter when Peterson had plenty of open space in front of him. Peterson – who led the NFL in punt-return yardage entering the game – had just 15 yards on four returns, a paltry 3.8 average.
Better protection for Alex Smith
NO: Smith did have time to throw during the night as his record performance indicates, but he still was sacked four more times and hit on at least four other occasions, which are disturbing numbers since Smith threw only 19 passes. Smith might have been partly responsible for a few of the sacks by not getting rid of the football quickly enough, but San Francisco's quarterback still is taking way too many hits in the pocket. On this night, however, it didn't adversely affect the performance of Smith or his team. At midseason, Smith has been sacked 22 times, including 10 times in San Francisco's past three games.
Prevail in the battle of the best defenses
YES: For the second consecutive week against an ornery NFC West rival, the 49ers showed who's boss with one of the NFL's best defenses on the other sideline. San Francisco entered the game ranked No. 1 in the league in total defense and Arizona came in ranked No. 7, but there was no question here about which defense dictated the tempo and had the biggest effect on the outcome of the game. San Francisco allowed Arizona just 265 total yards despite throwing 52 passes, and the Cardinals got past the San Francisco 37-yard line just twice in the game. Two of Arizona's 10 offensive possessions ended with negative yardage, and five others ended after the Cards had gained 27 yards or fewer.
Get tight ends involved in the offense again
YES: Held without a catch for the first time this season the week before against Seattle, Vernon Davis was back in the mix with two catches for 34 yards, including a 25-yarder over the middle. Delanie Walker had season-high totals of two receptions for 38 yards, including a 23-yarder, with both catches setting up San Francisco touchdowns.

One of ringleaders of Benghazi attack reportedly captured
(Washington, DC) -- A top suspect in the Benghazi attack is reportedly in custody. The suspect was apprehended in a weekend raid in Libya. Four Americans were killed in the terror attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi in late 2012. The victims included U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Republicans have long-criticized the Obama administration for not bringing the perpetrators to justice. The "Post" says the suspect, Ahmed Abu Khattala, is on a U.S. ship and being transported to America. Several other suspects in the Benghazi attack remain at large.


description: Watch technicians meticulously inspect bungee ropes before thrill seekers use them. These elastic ropes are the only things between bungee jumpers and certain death, so the ropes are tested daily.

title: I Didn't Know That: Bungee Jump Testing

transcript:
RICHARD AMBROSE: You know you can do some amazing things with rubber Jonny.
JONNY PHILLIPS:  I know.  Look at this ball I've made just using rubber bands, isn't it good.
RICHARD AMBROSE: Mate I was thinking of something a lot more exciting than that.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Like what?
RICHARD AMBROSE: Like this...
SOUND ON TAPE: Aghhhhhhh!
NARRATOR: Bungee jumping....and this is how they test the rubber ropes
NARRATOR: These elasticated bungee ropes are the only thing between you and certain death, so they're tested daily.
NARRATOR: Bungee jumping was inspired by the people of Vanuatu in the South Sea Islands, who, in a centuries old ritual, use vines to jump with death defying precision from wooden platforms.
NARRATOR: If you jump here though, you'll be pleased to know that these ropes are military shock cord.  The same cord is used in missile launch tests.
NARRATOR: Inside, the cord is made from 380 strands of Malaysian rubber, with a cotton outer core and a polyester cover.
NARRATOR: The crew will check each rope manually every single day and the ropes are de-commissioned after around a 1000 bounces.
NARRATOR: Once the cord is all hooked up, it's time for a test bounce.
NARRATOR: The test uses ordinary gym weights tied in a bag - 135 kilogram's of them - exceeding the heaviest jumper's weight for extra safety.
NARRATOR:  They go up to the jumping height of 55 meters.
NARRATOR: The rope can stretch up to 3.3 times its length, so even at full stretch you would bounce seven meters above the ground.  A bungee jumper wouldn't stretch it to the max though so the clearance would be even bigger. The weights shows that everything is in order.
NARRATOR: And now for the final test.....with a human subject.
TESTER: Here we go.
NARRATOR: Some jumpers won't jump until they've seen the pros do it first.
NARRATOR:  Bungy expert George has done over 200 jumps, but even he still gets the willies.
TESTER:  3,2,1, Bungy!
NARRATOR: As the rope kicks in, George is travelling at over 70 kilometres per hour.
TESTER:  Man that's good.  That's a pass.

Q: If I receive an enforcement notice from the division what should I do?
A: The most important step you can take upon receiving an enforcement notice of any kind is to contact the divisions Assistant Director, Permitting and Compliance as soon as possible after receiving the notice. However, it is important to note that the notice may contain a process for obtaining administrative review and that contact with the division does not constitute a formal request for such review.
