Tutorial how I got compiz to work with hdd install on an Intel 945GM chipset laptop. (Intel810-i950 / Compaq nx7300)
You will need two things.
1. Partition Magic found Hiren's BootCD (google or torrent sites, it´s freeware)
2. Bootable version of the DVD (USB) Version bt3 (Extended) Size: ~ 946 MB
read: htt*://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=11091
First I formatted the hdd with Partition Magic found on Hiren's BootCD with EXT3 file system.
Booted the computer with the bt3 DVD and choose first option bt3 (kde) in the boot menu and let it boot up,
in K menu you will find backtrack and then go for Install BackTrack (not tested)
Choose real install, and then wait till its finished, turn of computer and remove DVD.
Boot the computer and login in with root/toor and startx and reinsert DVD in tray.
Now we are going to copy the cubez.lzm from the bt3 DVD to root folder, its located in BT3/optional.
Done? Ok, then you opens a terminal window ant type: lzm2dir cubez.lzm /
And wait a few seconds to finish,
go to /etc/X11 folder and open up xorg.conf
(It will open in a text editor) and ad these lines at the very end of the .conf file.
Section Extensions
Option Composite Enable
Save the xorg.conf file and close all windows and turn off the computer. (Dont forget to remove the DVD)
Boot up the computer one final time login with root/toor
But this time we are going to start the system with the following command:
Now x starts and you should have working compiz (you will se 8 desktops in tray)
Navigate cube with:
<Ctrl><Alt>Right/Left (Arrow Key) ... Rotates cube right/left to next plane/side.
<Ctrl><Alt>Down (Arrow Key) ... Pans out to plane/slide; use right/left to select view, then release all to return to normal.
<Ctrl><Alt>Up (Arrow Key) ... Organize all windows on-screen; use right/left to select one, then release to activate it.
(On my install Shift-Alt + Up (Arrow Key) worked)
<Ctrl><Alt>Button1 (mouse button 1) ... Hold down mouse button 1 to "hold" screen and rotate cube manually.
If you dont like the command line logon and want the KDE desktop to start automatically. Type in terminal: nano /etc/inittab change the following line: id:3:initdefault to id:4 exit and save.
There is most sertenly easier ways to make it work, but this is the way I NOW it will.
Hope this will be to some help.
it will be better to boot with the bootblash then you do not need to inter command lines
automatic boot with timeout
i tried this, and everything worked up to the part where i logged into x. When i logged in, the compiz manager was in the lower left toolbar, but all the windows that i opened had no close, mimizie and expand buttons, and it looked as if not all the parts of compiz were in use. My graphics card is an integrated x200m from ati.
this tutorial is for intel chipset gpu only, not ati.
maybe you can find something interesting in this forum thread.
i hace a dell inspiron 1520 that comes with a intel video card...
Backtrack loads the i915 driver and as far as i know it should be using mesa driver to compiz to work. If you post your xorg i can compare.
sorry for late reply, have been on vacation for a week (lanzarote, beautiful iland and nice weather!)
After I got compiz working and sat with it I soon realized it slowed my work down so formated the computer and reinstalled bt3 standrad edition, so I´m sorry to say that I dont have a xorg.conf to post.
hope you figure it out.
Thanks ... every thing is ok .
How you spend your time is more important than how you spend your money. Money mistakes can be corrected, but time is gone forever. David Norris
Linux is the little black box in my opinion... and without the command line Linux would just be Windows. But it's all cool.
I had to set number of KDE desktops to 1, number of horizontals under Compiz settings to 4 and number of vertical settings to 2 (leave the other one at 1). Also enabled cube caps with some jpegs...
Thanks again mate, I've been trying to get this working for ages and my system looks really cool now...

Clarkson University Army ROTC Takes Second Place in Ranger Challenge
The Golden Knight Battalion Ranger Challenge Team from Clarkson University's Army ROTC finished in second place out of 44 teams in this year's competition held at Fort Dix, N.J., in early October.
The competition is a series of 10 events that included two obstacle courses, timed assembly of military weapons, rappelling, inflatable raft operations, a telephone pole carry, hand grenade course, and a combat first aid challenge.
The teams competed in full gear (helmets, boots, uniforms, rucksack, and weapon) on a 7.5 mile course, which took the Clarkson team less than five hours to complete.
The nine-member team of students from Clarkson, SUNY Potsdam, and St Lawrence University are all enrolled in the Army ROTC program at Clarkson University and was coached by Master Sgt. Clifford Foster.
The team members from Clarkson University were captain Devin Hallam, a computer engineering major from Schenectady, N.Y.; senior Steve Strait, civil engineering, Lititz, Pa.; junior Eric O'Donnell, civil engineering, Oriskany, N.Y.; junior Michael Matroniano, engineering and management, Fairport, N.Y.; sophomore Timothy Goldstone, engineering and management, Accord, N.Y.; sophomore Emily Carrigg, electrical and mechanical engineering, Meredith, N.H.; and freshman Nick Haluska, civil engineering, Slingerlands, N.Y. SUNY Potsdam junior Tim Dudley, business administration, Potsdam, N.Y.; and St Lawrence University junior Taylor Macci, history, Fort Plain, N.Y., were also on the team.
The Golden Knights Battalion continued their annual strong performance in the competition that includes first place finishes in 2000 and 2007. Training six days a week since the beginning of the semester the team again finished ahead of many of their rivals.
Among the teams that trailed Clarkson this year were Syracuse, Penn State, Cornell, and RIT. The field was made up of schools from the 2nd Brigade, which encompasses 43 Army ROTC programs in the Northeast, along with teams representing the Naval Academy and West Point.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

This is the pair of cordless LED window candles that simultaneously cast a brilliant light outdoors and a gentle glow indoors. Each of the two candles' three white LEDs are curled so that their tips are pointed outdoors, projecting a bright light that can be seen clearly from the street while emitting only subtle illumination in your home. An integrated timer automatically turns the candles on and off at six, eight, or 12-hour intervals and the candles adjust from 13 1/2" to 15" high to ensure the light is never obscured by window mullions. The candles have a glass "flame" and a brass-colored, 2 1/2"-deep plastic base that fits easily on window sills. Each candle requires three C batteries that provide up to 500 hours of illumination. LEDs last up to 10,000 hours. Set of Two.13 1/2"-15" H x 6 1/3" W x 2 1/2" D. (13 2/3 oz.)

"These have changed my holiday life"
By Daisy Driver
from Winnetka, IL
I wish I had known about these years ago. With batteries installed, they're perfectly weighted. Blend well with traditional brass. No more electric wires dangling from unstable candles. I have one in each of my first and second floor front-facing windows. I've set them so that, simultaneously, they all turn on before dusk and turn off after 8 hours. Happy Holidays indeed!
Happy with purchas
By Dixie Dame
from SC
Easy to use, bright light, adjustable height is a necessary option with the windows I have. The timer feature is simple to set and dependable. Also candle bases are slim and steady enough to fit on window sills.

Very easy to assemble. Timer works well. But candles come in light variations: some burn yellow and some burn bright white.

Best purchase for Christmas decoration
By flojo
from Huntington, NY
I spent the extra money as I was sick of the electric plug-in's and extension cords all over the house and having to plug and un plug them. I bought them as gifts as well for both of my kids and they were thrilled as their litle ones had no wires to trip over and would wait for them to magically automatically turn on! Better than any other led lights....very bright. Don't hesitate to buy!

Excellent product
By Furgie
from Midlothian, VA
I have struggled with electric candles and their cords for years, and have tried several variations of battery-operated candles that were very disappointing. These candles look nice, and the 3 "C" batteries seem to do the job. The brighter outside light/dimmer inside light is a nice touch. I would highly recommend this product.

Ratings for Dr. Hector C. Ramos
Hector is the best is is kind and helps to as much as he can .He is the best!!❤❤❤❤
Dr. Ramos was a life-saver! He made me feel so comfortable about the pain I'd been feeling and seemed to know instantly that I needed surgery, and wasn't going to make me wait. He explained everything so specifically and didn't mince words - yet had the warmest and most reassuring bedside manner of any doctor I've experienced. He expedited my hospital admittance last month and the surgery went as smoothly as he'd said it would. I felt fine within days, and can't thank him enough for taking such good care of me. I hope I don't need any surgery again, but if I do - he's the first surgeon I'm calling!
Dr Ramos removed a huge very rare tumor from my abdomen. His skill with a knife is legendary, my son in law in SLC, 700 miles away knows his reputation and I won't dispute it. His bedside manor is second to none. He answered every one of my questions and I was fully at ease with the procedure even when he told me how hard it would be. He demonstrated a master's knowledge of post op tricks, minimizing my pain and making the 6 week ordeal almost enjoyable. His great sense of humor and quick wit kept my wife and I at ease the whole time. I would recommend Dr. Ramos any day. If I need a surgeon, he is the man I want in my corner.
Dr. Ramos is skilled, a champion for his patients, does not pull punches, he tells it like it is. I would not want anyone else holding my life in their hands but this man-- He took a huge tomor out of my husband's stomach and did everything to keep him alive.Thank you will never be enough!
Dr. Hector C. Ramos is a super doctor. He made sure my surgery was handled on a rush basis & explained everything, every step of the way. He was caring & made sure my wife was kept informed all during surgery and recovery. He personally reviewed information from other attending doctors so everyone was in synch. His bedside manner was excellent and very refreshing. He let you know he was in this surgery & recovery process all the way. Very pleased & very impressed with Dr. Ramos. God Bless him!
It is difficult to put into words the talent and value of Dr.Ramos.It may sound like "hero-worship"but it is well merited.As the daughter of an Old School orthopedic surgeon who put his patients'well being above all else, except God and Family, I know the measure of an excellent physician.Such is Dr.Ramos. Kind,compassionate, giving, brilliant and passionate about saving lives and quality of life, and a staunch ethical backbone. And yet, none of the arrogance and ego that so often accompanies such talent. Just a cheerful smiling face full of optimism. He bucked hospital bureaucracy and peer pressure to give my father a fighting chance, saving his life and giving us hope and that much more time with him. He is the standard bearer. If his qualities could be taught, he should have be tenured at every institution.

Hi all,
Brand new to the forum . I just was wondering what you guys think of joint supplements and which ones in particular (if any) are worthwhile.
I see an osteopath and I definitely feel that this keeps me mobile. She has helped me rehabilitate a few injuries picked up through MMA training.
Currently I have a bad elbow (if you're curious - my wrist was twisted in a kimura, which took the strain into the elbow rather than shoulder and it popped rather nastily). It's been getting better but nonetheless it got me thinking about supplements for general joint health (maybe injury prevention ).
The main ones and their (purported) effects seem to be:
- Glucosamine (helps prevent cartilage degeneration)
- Chondroitin (also for cartilage - increases resistance to compression, anti-inflammatory effects)
- Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) (prescribed to prevent arthritis, but not particularly well understood!)
- Collagen (good for cartilage)
- Omega 3 (helps prevent arthritis - anti inflammatory effects)
- Harpagophytum (Devil's Claw) (herbal medicine with anti inflammatory and other effects that are not well understood)
I get omegas through my diet and I do take Udos oil as it seems to be good for my energy levels and recovery (though like anything can't be sure it's not a bit of a placebo). There are lots of combination supplements of the above available in various forms, but to take all of them would be quite expensive (and probably unnecessary).
As an aside, I do believe the benefit of most of these to be relatively small, but anything that helps is a plus!
Thanks in advance.
PS @Rosi, supplements might make a nice mini-series for your blog as I'm sure a lot of martial artists would be interested in your thoughts .

MAKE Volume 25 contributing writer Chris Reilly loves yogurt but is impatient. He writes, "My impatience often leads me to botch important steps when I make yogurt. So to get better control over the fermentation process, I made a crockpot thermostat attachment to precisely control the temperature." Enter the Arduino microcontroller. From the introduction:
You can buy electric yogurt makers, but most of them only incubate; the heating/sterilization step still has to be done on the stovetop. I wanted to experiment with Arduino microcontroller programming and electronic circuit design in Fritzing (an open source circuit layout tool that lets users document and share designs), so why not combine them into something I enjoy doing?
With my old-school yogurt recipe (adapted from wikihow.com/Make-Yogurt), I'd use a stovetop and a candy thermometer to heat the milk to 185°F and cool it to 110°F, then use a warm oven or radiator to ferment it at 100°F. That takes a lot of attention, and more containers than I care to wash later. Even with a commercial yogurt maker, I'd probably have to heat the milk myself, and that's the step I'm most likely to botch.
Don't get me wrong — it's a great recipe as long as you're diligent. But the combination of boring, time-consuming, temperature-sensitive steps puts my diligence to the test; that's why the automation of an Arduino-controlled crockpot yogurt maker makes perfect sense to me.
Time to geek out on your fermentation process, and you can get started right away building your own Yobot by checking out the entire project on Make: Projects. If Arduino sparks your interest, MAKE Volume 25 features a ton more Arduino projects, from getting you started picking out the right microcontroller to making your own Arduino.

The Sheep and Goat Raisers' Magazine was the official publication of the newly formed Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers' Association. In January 1922, ranching sheep and goats on the high, relatively arid ground in West Texas known as the Edwards Plateau was still a new enterprise. It had not been too many years since the open range was subdivided by barbed wire lines of demarcation, although at the time (and still true today in remote areas) vast unfenced stretches of prairie and mesa remained unfenced. Agriculture thrived and flourished and sheep and goats were the superstars. Enterprising ranchmen brought in an "exotic" breed from Turkey, the Angora goat, prized for its luxurious mohair coat that was harvested by shearing and made into cloth for garments and upholstery. Scottsmen and New Yorkers trekked to West Texas with herds of woolly sheep, introducing breeds such as Delaine, Merino and Rambouillet. Sheep and goats did extremely well on the Plateau and still do
Later, city promoters would christen San Angelo "The End of the Rainbow;" in 1922 its nickname was "Queen City of Central West Texas." In the January 1922 issue of Sheep and Goat Raisers' Magazine, the editor and publisher, Capt. James T. Elliott, featured the "Queen City" and its citizens, history, government, points of interest and industry. In the following excerpt, the writer touches on the "Old West" heritage of the town. Remember, this is 1922 and the writer is recalling the atmosphere 30 years or so earlier in San Angelo; silent movies are the movies referenced:
One may gather a fair perspective of the place from some of the wild west productions of the movie theaters today. The population of the town was small and rather a mixed one. The soldiers from the Post with their blue uniforms and brass buttons were always in evidence. Cowboys with their wide sombreros, their chaps and spurs , with the proverbial "ivory handled 45" hanging from a carved leather belt, filled with cartridges, indulged themselves in breaking a favorite broncho on the main street, much to the delight of all.
The Mexican rancheros had not become so Americanized as they are now and they too, added a touch of color in their characteristic Mexican costumes that gave the town a picturesque setting, all that was required for a real Wild West and a scene not soon to be forgotten.
There were four large general stores, well stocked with ranch supplies and outfitting for buffalo hunters. The other business houses of the town consisted of a real estate office, a small private bank and eighteen or twenty saloons, operating on a twenty-four hour schedule, seven days a week.
The articles about San Angelo continue with an outline of the city government structure and how in 1915 the city adopted its present commission form of government and, in 1916, added a city manager.
City officials in 1922 included:
- B.H. Yancy, Mayor, Yancy-Richardson Implement Compan
- R.H. Henderson, City Manager, Assessor and Collector
- R. Wilbur Brown, Commissioner No. 1, Attorney
- H.E. Jackson, Commissioner No. 2, Attorney of Blanks, Collins & Jackson
- Miss Mamie Barfield, City Secretary, Concho Valley Loan and Trust Co., Treasurer
- A.W. Loveland, City Attorney
- L.H. Laging, City Engineer
- G.W. Cunningham, Chief of Police
- M.B. Jones, City Recorder
- Dr. A.C. DeLong, City Physician
- M.V. McDaniel, City Scavenger
- John Parker, Fire Chief
- M.B. Jones, Fire Marshal
- H.G. Williams, Keeper of the City Pound
An article by Harvey H. Allen, president of the Board of City Development and trainmaster of Orient Railway, reported how the Board conducted annual city-wide clean up campaigns and pecan tree planting campaigns "which has resulted in wonderful development of the pecan industry and we now have thousands of young pecan trees beginning to bear the very best high grade thin shell pecans which will in a few years be very profitable."
School superintendent Felix E. Smith reported an elementary and high school population of 2024 and wrote that the city in 1917 "completed a three-story centrally located brick high school with modern equipment, meeting the latest architectural requirements for school structures."
One of the primary industries that San Angelo was known for and is still known for is wool and mohair production, shearing and processing. The city's size, central location and several established wool and mohair warehouses led to its preeminance in wool and mohair for the country and later crowning as "Wool Capital."
Writer Robert Massie, president of Wool Growers Central Storage Company, authored an article in the 1922 magazine titled "San Angelo as a Wool and Mohair Market." Mr. Massie wrote:
Being the largest city in Western Texas between Fort Worth and El Paso, located on two accessible railroads, with advantageous shipping facilities, it is nothing but natural that this city should be the logical concentration point of the greater part of the wool produced in central West Texas. Then again, the climate and the physical conditions of the range in this section of the country, being the most ideal character, and unexcelled for the raising of sheep and goats, is a further inducement for sheep and goat men to locate their herds in this section of the country.
He outlined the structure of Wool Growers Central Storage Company, among the first warehouse operations which began as a cooperative effort by a number of wool and mohair producers and offered storage, baling and marketing of sheared wool and mohair as well as financing for sheep and goat ranchers.
The company, officered and directed by practical sheep and goat men of the stongest financial responsibility, familiar with every detail of the business, has, from a small beginning, in twelve years grown to a very large proposition, and from a few hundred thousand pounds of wool stored in 1909, the amount has increased to many millions of pounds at the present time.
Privately owned warehouses and commission merchants included Geo. Richardson, March Bros., and Wm. Campbell & Co.
The Sheep and Goat Raisers' Magazine was established August 1, 1920, as the official publication of the Sheep and Goat Raisers' Association of Texas. In 1922 it had a sizeable circulation in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona. Capt. James T. Elliot was the editor and publisher. Through the years the magazine has remained the voice of the assocation, now known as the Texas Sheep & Goat Raisers' Assocation or TSGRA. The name of the magazine has changed through the years. At one time it was known as Sheep & Goat Raiser, later the Ranchman's Magazine, still later Ranch Magazine. Now the name is Ranch & Rural Living Magazine, and it still is the official TSGRA publication.

Dunois' evidence appears to have been written down by a clerk unacquainted with events.
The friend of Dunois and Xaintrailles could have had no better end.
Dunois comes upon the scene, and Lionel tells him that he wishes to join the French army.
With Dunois, who tells the story, she went to see Charles at the castle of Loches.
As they went from Reims after the coronation, Dunois and the archbishop were riding by her rein.
"How dared you speak so to the king," said Dunois to Chimay.
The Orleanese themselves were clamorous for her; Dunois kept up their spirits with the expectation of this marvelous assistance.
She finally consented, however, to ride on with Dunois and La Hire.
Dunois, La Hire, and the rest were more concerned at losing so much good ransom.
But it was not the French generals, not even Dunois, who secured these victories.

UNITED NATIONSThe U.N. Security Council voted on Saturday to send 300 unarmed U.N. cease-fire observers to Syria as soon as the U.N. secretary-general determines it is safe to do so, as an advance team of seven monitors visited the battered city of Homs for the first time.
The 15-member council unanimously approved the full monitoring mission after a compromise was reached between Russia and the West. Moscow had wanted to deploy the observers immediately while Western powers had demanded that Syrian government forces withdraw from populated areas first, a key element of the U.N.´s six-point peace plan agreed to by the government and the rebels.
Under the resolution adopted, the monitors will only be deployed "expeditiously" if Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon assesses that the cease-fire has been "consolidated."
The monitors could be sent in as soon as this happens for a period of 90 days. But if Mr. Ban determines that the violence hasn´t slowed sufficiently, and if Syrian forces don´t withdraw from towns and cities in 15 days when Mr. Ban must report, the council will "consider further steps as appropriate," the resolution says. What those steps are aren´t spelled out.
Syrian Ambassador Bashar Ja´afri told the council, "They are bragging about tightening these sanctions but we reject interference in our internal affairs. Mr. Ja´afri blamed the West and its Arab partners for interfering in Syria´s affairs. "Syrians well know these external forces and do not want any Wahhabi or Salafist factions to penetrate its ranks through some terrorists propagated by Saudi Arabia and Qatar."
The initial Western plan had explicitly called for sanctions against Damascus if in 15 days it didn´t end the violence and withdraw its forces. The Russian draft resolution hadn´t posed any threat of sanctions, which Moscow opposes.
"This mission and the six-point proposal represents the last opportunity to secure a solution to the crisis in Syria," said British Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant. "A failure of the regime to meet its commitments, or any further attempt to hinder the work of the mission, must be met with robust sanctions by this Council."
Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador, warned Damascus that if the violence doesn´t stop soon the U.S. would be ready to push for a strong response and it wasn´t willing to wait.
"For the United States, our patience is exhausted," she said. "No one should assume that the United States will agree to renew this mission at the end of 90 days. If there is not a sustained cessation of violence and freedom of movement for U.N. personnel then we must all conclude that this mission has run its course."
"We will not wait 90 days to pursue measures against the Syrian government if it continues to violate its commitments," Ms. Rice said.
"We are sober about the risks, all the more so given the long record of the Assad regime´s broken promises and disregard for the most basic standards of humanity," Ms. Rice went on. "The deployment of 300 or 3,000 monitors on its own cannot stop the regime from waging its barbaric campaign of violence against the Syrian people. What can bring a halt is continuous pressure on the regime."
Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin responded, "Some would like to see the strategy to fail because as we heard, they have other plans. This is very unhelpful."
After blocking earlier attempts to reach Homs, scene of the worst violence in the 13-month uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, U.N. monitors visited the city on Saturday in a rare moment of calm.
Activists however said that the government had only temporarily stopped its shelling to create a false impression for the observers.
The resolution asks Damascus to give the observers unhindered movement and freedom to interview any Syrian without a threat of reappraisal.
The government is to provide the observers´ security, the resolution says.
"It is an unprecedented step to deploy unarmed U.N. personnel into such a dangerous environment. It is fraught with risk," said Mr. Grant. "The mission will fail in its task if the regime continues to violate its commitments and obstruct the work of the mission."
The U.N. and the government were also urged to agree "rapidly" on the monitors´ use of helicopters and planes. Mr. Ban has said the U.N. would find its own aircraft if Syria fails to provide them.
The government is also to allow immediate and unhindered access to humanitarian aid. The resolution condemns "widespread" human rights violations by the Syrian government and "any human rights abuses" by "armed groups." It says that those responsible will be held accountable.
The monitoring mission, to be known as the U.N. Supervision Mission in Syria, or UNSMIS, will also have a civilian staff, including human rights monitors.
"This resolution overcomes Russian attempts to neuter UNSMIS and provides a solid basis for deploying human rights experts to monitor key aspects of the Annan plan, such as protecting civilians, respecting the right to peaceful assembly, and releasing those arbitrarily detained," said Philippe Bolopion, Human Rights Watch´s U.N. director.

Mom banned from ranting about kids on Facebook
(NEWSER) – Lots of people go on Facebook to blow off steam—but one New Jersey mom took things too far, and has now been banned from using the social network to rant about her ex-husband and kids. The trouble began when the Flemington mother, identified in court records only by her initials, HLM, was arrested in 2011 after attempting to take her children to Canada after losing custody of them. She pleaded guilty to a lesser charge to avoid a kidnapping charge, and was sentenced to probation, a condition of which was that she not mention her kids or ex on Facebook or her blog, the Courier News reports.Read the full story on Newser.com

My instructor was a long time Rickson student and despite training with many high level players like jacare and nino schembri maintains he's the best he's ever been priviliged to roll with.
I don't see why people would be so motivated to simply pay him respect if it wasn't substantiated.
Of course the talent pool is deeper now and BJJ has moved on but his achievements and status shouldn't be undermined without proof.

Over the past month, representatives of Families of September 11 and other 9/11 family groups met several times with commissioners and staff members of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks in the United States to discuss the Commission's progress.
The Commission is almost fully staffed and all commissioners have now received their security clearances. The staff – whose biographies are posted on the Commission's website, http://www.9-11commission.gov – is divided into nine investigative teams:
The Commission has appointed two staff members, Emily Walker and Ellie Flynn Hartz, to be liaisons with the 9/11 families.
The Commission will soon establish its New York City office in the Federal Building at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan.
The Commission will hold its second public hearing on May 22 and 23 in Room 216 of the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C. The Commission will hear testimony from congressional witnesses as well as from witnesses who can comment on the state of aviation security before, on, and after the 9/11 attacks.
"Among the Commission's charges is to write the definitive account of what actually transpired on that day and how it was able to happen," said former New Jersey governor, Thomas H. Kean, the Commission's chair. "What we learn from this

Filed under: CFT
If you want improve your PFT and/or CFT score then try performing a dynamic warm up before the test. While there is still much debate around a pre-exercise warm-up, a recent review of the literature specific to military testing found that dynamic warm-up and dynamic stretching might improve your fitness test performance. Overall, dynamic warm-ups appear to improve pull-ups, push-ups, power, flexibility, and aerobic performance. In addition, prior to the dynamic warm-up, an aerobic warm-up such as about five to 10 minutes of light jogging, swimming, or cycling sees to have an overall beneficial effect on cardiovascular assessments such as sprinting and running. On the other hand, static stretching (the kind you stretch and hold) appears to have a negative effect on exercise performance in trained populations. If range of motion is needed, then static stretching might be the most beneficial type of warm-up. Most services no longer test for the sit-and-reach, but there are some commands that continue with this testing modality. While nothing will help you more than properly training for your fitness assessments, doing the little things on testing day may help you achieve peak performance.

Harold Glicken, who wrapped up a 38-year career at the Press-Telegram over the weekend, was the most vicious editor we've ever had. Ruthless. Heartless. Remorseless. He couldn't have been better.
But, then, he also gave us a career in this great life of daily journalism.
The short version: He liberated us from our job as copy boy in 1977 or '78 and brought us on as his reporter when he became the first editor of the new Neighbors section covering the cities outside Long Beach. He hauled us along, further, when he became editor of Life/Style when it was making the transition from a woman's section to features section. He gave us our first column.
Without Harold, we would either be nothing at all or incredibly successful at some other endeavor, though it would have to be a really easy, unambitious, well-paying endeavor.
The short version, though, is the nice version. In reality he beat us regularly with a rolled-up newspaper - and this was back in the day when newspapers were made out of pig iron. Thirty-five years later, we'd still flinch when he'd walk by with a paper in his hand, much to his giddy gratification.
We were culturally miles apart. Harold's some sort of hyper-Orthodox Jew and we are a Catholic of a certain variety. We used to give him theological advice - like try reading the whole Book, not just the first half.
But mostly, at least for 20 years or so, he gave us writing advice. All day long, he beat us senseless with our own misplaced words. Handing Glicken a first draft of a feature story was the same as stuffing it into a wood chipper. He would take a pencil to it and send us the story back, all tattered like a caveman's clothing.
"You can try to fix it, but you really need to just do it again," he'd snarl. He tried to make it simple for us: "You spelled `arithmetic' wrong, moron. Remember: A Rat In The House Might Eat The Ice Cream."
"We drink our whisky with ease, but spell it without." (That's because he's a Scotch whisky drinker. Our bourbon whiskey is drunk and spelled with ease and E's.)
"Commas come in pairs."
"Nobody likes a smart ass."
"He will be missed."
What's that mean?
"It's how you end a tribute to a dead guy."
The best - the absolute best - we could hope for from him in a review of our story was, "It's not your usual piece of crap."
Glicken had some great ideas as an editor - he sent us to Iowa to cover the Rose Bowl, he sent us to Mexico in search of kidnappers, he sent us to the Olympics in L.A. to write a daily column. He sent us to the Playboy Mansion to cover the unveiling of Dorothy Stratten as Playmate of the Year in 1980.
He had some bad ideas, too: He wanted us to do a story on little kids getting new shoes for Easter. "A.," we said, "what do you know about Easter? B. We hate doing stories on little kids."
We refused to do it. He countered with an offer to fire us. We came back with an offer to quit first. He wouldn't relent, so on the day of the assignment we came down with acute appendicitis, to our delight, and were rushed to the emergency room and remained hospitalized until after Easter.
We could play that game all day long. We have plenty of disposable organs. The story idea never came up again.
If Harold failed at all in his long career, it was in getting us to dress properly. We showed up in T-shirts and flip-flops. We wore socks sometimes in the winter.
"What if the president came to town suddenly and you had to interview him?" he said.
"Tell him we'll do a phoner," we replied.
Every year, Harold's bosses told him to get us to clean up a bit. Maybe wear a tie. We never did. It cost him thousands in blown bonuses.
We're having a problem here lapsing into past tense. It's not an obit. Harold's alive. And that's good, because the last thing we want to do is go sit haggis, or whatever you call it, at his house with his body on the dining room table.
Still, gone is gone. The obit stuff would include his life's pre-P-T high points, with the apex being, no doubt, his short career as a gandy dancer - we're going to let you use your imagination with that one, because what you're thinking is a lot more interesting and tawdry than what it is.
He was born in Grand Forks, N.D, a fact of which he is inordinately proud. He earned his degree in journalism from the University of Minnesota. He attended the University of Iowa's Writers' Workshop, the most prestigious writing institution in the country.
When he was considerably younger he was editor of his high school's newsmagazine and played contrabass clarinet (the North Dakota of woodwind instruments).
That all made him what he was/is: Kinda goofy at times, wise in all matters outside of politics (we have no idea how a gandy dancer became a conservative) and one of the finest men we've known.
However you think of us as a writer, that's how you should think of Harold, if you didn't know him. He taught us virtually everything we know. If you hate us; it's his fault.
He will, now, and later, when he comes face-to-face with a merciful Catholic God, be missed.

The immediate effects of a head injury can include dementia symptoms, such as confusion, memory loss, and changes in speech, vision and personality. Depending on the severity of your injury, these symptoms may clear up quickly, last a long time or never go away completely.
However, such symptoms that begin soon after your injury generally don't get worse over time as happens with Alzheimer's disease.
Certain types of head injuries, however, may increase your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or other dementias later in life. The greatest increase in future dementia risk seems to occur after a severe head injury that knocks you out for more than 24 hours. A moderately serious head injury that causes unconsciousness for more than 30 minutes, but less than 24 hours, also seems to increase risk to a smaller extent.
There's no evidence that a single mild head injury that doesn't knock you out, or that knocks you out for less than 30 minutes, increases your risk of dementia. However, repeated mild injuries may increase risk of future problems with thinking and reasoning.
You're likely at greatest risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer's later in life, post-head injury, if you also have other risk factors. For example, carrying one form of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene increases the risk of Alzheimer's in any individual.
It's important to note that many people who sustain a severe head injury never develop Alzheimer's disease or later dementia. More research is needed to understand the link.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Cleanliness, location, friendly staff. I didnot like the bed. It was too hard. It hurts my back.
Receptionist was very helpfull with local information Breakfast was not to my liking
The room was big and with nice design. The location is in the city center and very close to the ancient stone bridge. The staff is young and friendly. Free parking is not easy to find in the nearby. The breakfast variety is quite limited if compared to the hotel price.
The bed was comfortable. The bedroom was a reasonable size. The smell of burnt fat or oil which carried throughout the hotel both when we arrived and all evening and even the next morning. It would not encourage me to eat there. No wastebin in the bedroom. No bath in the bathroom. Limited number of powerpoints. I expected to see more Artwork in the Art Hotel. The television was too small for the size of room and the channels available were limited to two. The "apartment" did not meet my idea of an apartment. Breakfast was merely adequate and the fruit juice was poor quality.
Peaceful surrounding, next to the forest where you can go for hiking, friendly small hotel.
Wow! Everything excellent! 15 min walk (1 km) to center of Pisek, no big deal. Don´t miss Pizzeria San Marco, the best restaurant we visited in Czech Rep. Very nice golf course in Kestrany, 10 km from Pisek. Last 9 hole rather difficult and hilly.

Jay-Z calls Miley Cyrus 'Old World's Worst Nightmare'
Listen to Jay-Z on iHeartRadio | Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Miley Cyrus may have upped her street cred thanks to a Twitter shoutout from Jay-Z. The rapper, who mentioned Miley in a song off his newly released "Magna Carta Holy Grail," spoke about the reference in a rare appearance on the social media site Monday.
When a fan asked Jay-Z about his commenting on the singer's "twerking" in his track "Somewhere In America," Jay-Z said Miley "represents an old world's worst nightmare."
The 20-year-old former Disney star repeated his words on her own Twitter page
Exactly right. I am an old worlds worst nightmare. #outwiththeold #inwiththenewnew— Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) July 8, 2013
Call it what you want. But I don't see Mr. Carter shoutin any of you bitches out. #twerkmileytwerk ✌— Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) July 8, 2013
Jay-Z re-tweeted her response, and he also refers to her as a "God," when asked if twerking could replace the Electric Slide at weddings!
RT @chakaworks @s_c_ do you think twerking should replace the electric slide at weddings? [Personally???YES.. Miley is a GOD]— Mr. Carter (@S_C_) July 8, 2013
Miley also made headlines a few years back when she name-checked Jay-Z in her hit single "Party in the USA." The singer's latest single "We Can't Stop" is climbing the Billboard Hot 100, currently sitting at number three on the chart.

When Brogan Kelby was 16, he was so eager to start his music career that he decided to finish high school online.
He enrolled at Salt Lake Community College, but even that took too long, so he dropped out.
Now 18, the Farmington singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist is about to release "Breathe in Color," his third EP after "Mirrors & Masks" in 2012 and "Sky Lights" in 2011.
The EP shows Kelby's deep talent, writing and recording every instrument and producing every song. The music has an edge, but he has found fans in the pop and rock worlds.
How did you learn to play music?
I'm self-taught, mostly. I took some lessons at School of Rock in Salt Lake City when I was 11 for a few months and played a David Bowie cover concert. But I decided I wanted to get into my own style of music instead of just playing covers. I started teaching myself and picked up any instrument I could. I currently study voice with Dean Kaelin David Archuleta's vocal coach and have been since I was about 14 years old.
What did you want to achieve with your new music?
My goal is to impact as many people as I can with my music and story to hopefully get a positive message out there to help people follow their dreams and pick themselves up from difficult times. I know what music has done for me, and I'd love to do the same for other people. My new music is very feel-good pop and uplifting. I want to encourage people to lose their insecurities.
What do you remember about your first performance?
Being completely terrified and shaking nonstop. I used to have the worst stage fright that took me years to get over. I eventually just realized people want you to do your best at a performance.
What are some of your most notable past performances?
I've performed at X96's Big Ass Show and Mix 107.9's EarthFest. I had the rare opportunity to perform onstage with Switchfoot and sing in place of an ailing Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco. I've also been fortunate enough to open for Thirty Seconds to Mars, The Wanted, iYaz, All Time Low, Cobra Starship, OK GO, Shontelle, Anberlin, Neon Trees and many others. I've got upcoming shows in the works for summer that I'm excited to hopefully announce soon. But I will be performing in Park City for the July 4 festival.
What did you learn from playing with Switchfoot and Panic! at the Disco?
A lot. Switchfoot has always been a huge inspiration to me and their song "Dare You to Move" got me through many difficult and dark times. Performing with them really showed me that you can truly have a huge impact on people and possibly save a life. I'd love to be able to do the same for someone else someday. I felt completely blessed to meet a band I've always looked up to when they don't even really have to care, but they went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and that I mattered to them. A moment I'll never forget. Panic! taught me how to pull a performance together at the last second. I was blown away that they still performed even without Brendon and nailed it. They're great guys and it motivated me that much more to be singing in front of a crowd like that.
Would you rather go to a metal show or see the symphony perform?
Both of them together. One of my favorite bands, RED, pretty much does that exact thing. My mood is always different and I never really know what taste of music I'll have a certain day. I've got music ADD.
Do you have any preshow rituals?
All my band members are actually my best friends. We have a great time together and we start out every show backstage telling stories and trying to get each other in a great mood to create a strong and positive brotherlike energy that we hope to bring out onstage. We're basically just the average guys messing around backstage before any great show.
Describe a perfect day.
Wake up, eat breakfast, go to the gym and do yoga. Drive my Corvette in the beautiful sunshine with the top off, have a nice nap with my dog, eat Olive Garden, start getting ready for a show, spend the night having a wonderful performance in front of a crowd singing along with every lyric, then a midnight dinner with my band at Denny's and randomly bumping into Adam Levine [and] becoming best friends. Big fan. That would easily put me in the best mood possible.

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

Man, 22, accused of beating girlfriend
Published: Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 8:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 8:02 p.m.
A Gainesville man was arrested early Saturday morning on robbery and domestic violence charges on suspicion of forcing his girlfriend into his car, driving her to his home and beating her, according to an arrest report.
Charged was Christopher Michael Hawn, 22, of 1550 SW 47th Terrace, Apt. 1223.
The incident occurred about 12:15 a.m. outside the Butler Plaza movie theaters at 3101 SW 35th Blvd. The report states Hawn drove his car up to the woman and forced her into his car by pulling her hair.
Hawn allegedly drove away while restraining the woman in his car. While driving and after arriving at his home, he reportedly pulled her hair, hit her on the face and choked her, the report states.
Police state Hawn continued battering the woman in the parking lot and tried to pick her up and carry her into the apartment. She screamed and he released her and ran off with her phone and wallet, police said.
The report states that Hawn admitted to forcing the woman into his car, putting his hands around her neck and pulling her hair. He initially denied taking her belongings, but then admitted to that, police said.

Luke Bryan shares his marriage secrets
Listen to Luke Bryan on iHeartRadio
Luke Bryan says he really enjoys his morning coffee. But it has nothing to do with getting a caffeine jolt.
The country star tells "Good Housekeeping" it's his "favorite time of the day," because it's a daily opportunity for him and his wife, Caroline, to just be together and talk.
Luke also shows Caroline how much he cares in other ways. He explains that they "do little nights out together," and one year for Valentine's Day they tattooed each other's initials on their ring fingers. The singer also says he gives Caroline a foot rub every night at bedtime.
Bryan adds that when he's not on tour he tries to "really be home" and prioritize his family, which includes their young sons Bo and Tate. But Luke admits another secret to his happy marriage involves something he doesn't do. He says he won't ever tell Caroline how much money he spends on fishing!

Sandra D. - from Mahopac, NY
Cream puffs, which are made from a dough called pate a choux, are really best when baked, filled, and served the same day. If you need to, divide up the project. Bake the shells in advance and store them whole in an airtight container. On the day that you will serve them, rewarm them in a 300 degree oven for a few minutes. This will get the edges crisp, as if you had just baked them. Let the puffs cool and fill them as close to serving as possible so that the puffs do not get soggy.

Even in the toughest economic times, producers can not afford to de-emphasize quality control. The concrete industry has been approaching mix designs and material selection in practically the same way for decades. But should this change?
Do you dream of how to improve your quality control program? Would you like to know how a new source of cement or aggregate will affect concrete pumpability without doing lots of slump tests? Do you imagine a tool that could give you advanced warning of chemical incompatibilities in concrete made with blended cements?
Have you wished you could predict how to optimize your mix design cost and performance for a particular commercial project? And after encountering odd testing results, would you like to explain these findings quantitatively so you could understand and use these formerly puzzling results?
Most of the answers are based on studying or testing the ingredients used in the mix design and how they relate to one another. And as most producers know, such work can be tedious and lengthy. Often the answers are discovered well after the project is completed.
Fortunately, help is on the way. In the last 30 years, researchers have been working in computational materials science. The goal is to apply materials science theory to analyze complicated materials like construction materials via the modern computers.
In the last few years, computational materials science has grown in effectiveness and range. Faster computers have revolutionized how researchers can analyze results. Information technology has yielded better hardware and faster algorithms. Quantitative theory based on fundamental materials science has been successfully applied to guide research and develop new materials in the pharmaceutical, metals, and semiconductor industries.
The case of concrete
Unfortunately, quantitative theory for concrete materials has not advanced to the same level. Construction materials like aggregates, portland cement, and supplementary cementitious materials such as slag and fly ash are much too complicated for straightforward application of basic materials science.
But thanks to an innovative project, researchers are narrowing this gap. Our industry's leading hope for a computational materials science tool for concrete is the Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory (VCCTL).
VCCTL is a large, integrated software package that mimics a complete physical testing laboratory. It's filled with databases of cements and aggregates instead of bins and hoppers. It contains computer programs that combine materials. Once mixed, there's a concrete curing model instead of curing rooms. And a user-friendly software interface, instead of a cart, takes materials and samples around the laboratory, where accurate models for performance prediction are applied, instead of instrumented testing machines.
VCCTL is being developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST), a non-regulatory agency within the U.S. Commerce Department. Partners are the Ready-Mixed Concrete Research and Education Foundation, the Federal Highway Administration, BASF, Mapei, Sika Technology AG, and W.R. Grace. Pervious supporters are PCA, Holcim, Cemex, Dyckerhoff, and the National Stone, Sand, and Gravel Association.

Avoid infertility
What are the things I can do to avoid infertility?
13th April 2014 06:54 AM #2
Dear wishingstar,
There are lifestyle factors which can cause infertility, both in men and women. However, there are also infertility problems which are caused by factors which are beyond our control (such as blocked Fallopian tubes or abnormally shaped sperm). Therefore, it depends on the cause of a person's infertility as to whether there is a change in their lifestyle that would help or if they need medical help/care.
In terms of lifestyle factors that can affect fertility levels:
- stress can increase fertility
- being very overweight, underweight or exercising excessively can cause infertility
- tight fitting trousers and underwear in men can cause male infertility
- smoking and drinking increases infertility
It's also important to have sex often enough and to try and relax.
Does this help to answer your question?
Warm wishes,

Please update your Flash Player
In 2000, Kellie and Sean Whitcomb bought their first house in the pretty Green Lake section of Seattle. But as soon as they moved in, the Whitcombs realized they had a big problem. Their new house was situated next to Interstate 5, and the traffic noise was horrendous. "It's a constant roar punctuated by the squealing brakes of tractor-trailers," says Kellie. "We can't have a conversation in the back yard, and inside the house the furniture rattles every time a big truck goes by."
A Civil Engineer to the Rescue
It was civil engineer Erin Fletcher who made the Whitcombs' house livable again. To them, Erin is a hero. She's managing a $14-million project to build a noise-mitigation wall alongside Interstate 5. "Building a wall like this one is much more complicated that it appears," Erin explains. "You have to figure out where to put it, which means all kinds of noise measurements to determine where the problems are. Then, you have to establish how tall, long, and wide the wall should be. And the soil must be assessed to be sure it can support a large wall."
Listening to the Community
But there's more than just engineering involved here. As project manager, Erin has to respond to issues raised by many different public interests. "It's always a balance between the best engineering practices and the aesthetic, environmental, political, and community needs," explains Erin. "Initially, while the Whitcombs desperately wanted the wall, the placement of it worried them."
"The first design," says Sean, "called for a 14-foot wall that would be built about 5 feet away from our property. The whole back of our house would have been plunged into darkness. Of course the state had the right to build the wall wherever they wanted to, but Erin came out and really listened to us and got the wall pushed back 30 feet. We're so grateful to her."
Building Bridges
Erin likes to solve problems and she thinks that's what drew her to engineering early on. But, surprisingly, it was a film clip of a famous engineering disaster that happened near Erin's hometown in Washington state that set her on her career path. In 1940, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, pounded by a wind storm, collapsed into Puget Sound. "That film," says Erin, "made me want to be an engineer and design bridges."
Erin's high school dream of building bridges has come true. In addition to designing noise-mitigation walls, she's currently working on a bridge that will reduce traffic noise through sound-absorbing panels.
A Passion for Solving Problems and Helping People
Erin credits her mother, a nurse, as her biggest influence. "I'm really lucky to have a mother who pushed me to reach my full potential." That's why Erin now works with kids in programs that nurture a passion for engineering. "Engineering has given me so much," says Erin, "a lifetime of solving problems and helping people. I just want to give something back."

COMMUNITIES across the district have been anxiously watching the skies and the weather forecast as river levels edged higher daily this week reaching critical level in many areas.
Test Valley Borough Council has called for military assistance.
By Thursday the Anton in the centre of Andover was at maximum capacity and several roads were closed by floodwater.
In Shipton Bellinger authorities have been monitoring the River Bourne.
Council chairman Ann Reynolds said: "It all depends on how much rain we get but the river has been cleared and seems to be flowing much better than it did – but we do have low bridges that can cause problems.
"We are seeing people who have sewage issues, though."
Test Valley says its workforce has worked around the clock since Friday to provide sandbags to those affected by flooding.
The council opened its customer services unit over the weekend to manage calls relating to the floods and set up its emergency control centre on Saturday morning. This has been operating 24 hours a day to deal with flooding issues.
On Wednesday afternoon the council said it was busy delivering sandbags to Andover residents potentially affected by flooding after the Environment Agency issued a warning for the town. Areas covered by the warning include Andover, Upper Clatford and Goodworth Clatford on the River Anton.
The council requested military assistance to help fill sandbags and more than 8,000 have been distributed so far.
A letter providing guidance and information about how to protect homes and the steps people should take should flooding occur was circulated in parts of Andover on Wednesday.
In addition the authority deployed housing staff to liaise with residents whose homes are at risk, to identify where there is a need to provide accommodation.
Sandbags are available free of charge to those at imminent risk of flooding. Any residents requiring sandbags are asked to contact the council on 01264 368000.
Councillor Ian Carr, leader of Test Valley Borough Council, said: "I would like to say a massive thank you to all those involved in the flooding response.
All agencies are working incredibly hard to protect residents, businesses and properties.
"I would also urge the public to take extra care as the situation continues.
"Groundwater is expected to continue to rise over the coming days and weeks and as the River Test is groundwater fed this creates its own set of problems. We will continue to do all we can to manage the situation and help those affected."
Residents at risk of flooding can help protect themselves and their homes in a number of ways, including: Removing all furniture and valuables from the ground floor or raising them off the floor.
People should avoid walking through floodwater as the water can cause manhole covers to come off leaving hidden dangers.
Avoiding driving through floodwater as bow waves can cause damage to properties and just 12 inches of water can float a car.
In Tidworth flood warden Cllr Andrew Connolly said: "There was concern raised at January's town council meeting about silted and blocked gullies along the length of Pennings Road.
Wiltshire Council has had these cleared and I have personally checked to ensure they are all draining surface water during periods of high rainfall.
"I am liaising closely with the Environment Agency, which has been extremely diligent in keeping a close eye on the ever changing situation and alerting both myself and residents to impending flood risks."

The Brevard College Men's Tennis team finished up the BC Mountain Invitational this Sunday on a high note for players Andrew Thompson and Jarred Fisher. Both players won their final matches on Sunday to finish up the tournament with matching 2-1 records.
In a recap of the action on Saturday and Sunday, saw Thompson and Fisher both drop their opening matches to players from Pfeiffer, with Thompson falling to Lawson and Fisher losing to De Witt. However, both players bounced back later, fighting off players from Carson-Newman in closely contested matches. Thompson held off Schwartz in three sets and Fisher ground out the victory against Kira in a hard-fought three sets. On Sunday, Thompson and Fisher easily breezed past their opponents from North Georgia College to finish up the weekend 2-1.
Konstantin Savelyev, Cole Altizer, and Nate Lyles also finished up the tournament 2-1. Savelyev led off his first round Saturday morning defeating Flores from Pfeiffer in three sets. He continued his winning ways in his second match of the day, sweeping Carson-Newman's Harvie in straight sets. However, North Georgia's Partrick was able to hold him off in the third match, denying Savelyev the chance to sweep through the tournament. Altizer won his first two rounds against Aker from Carson-Newman and Pfeiffer's Pouchet in three sets. However, he retired from his third match on Sunday against North Georgia's Moore, withdrawing because of health concerns. Lyles swept his first two matches in straight sets against Carson-Newman's Borthic and Pfeiffer's Simpson, but was also unable to complete the sweep, dropping his third match to Aguilon from North Georgia.
Shane Apps struggled a little bit this weekend, dropping all three matches, but he showed a lot of heart in his matches against Carson-Newman's Slagle, Pfeiffer's Koushik, and North Georgia's Neto.
Brevard Men's Tennis is serving up more action next week from September 12-14, here at Brevard College as they host the Brevard College Mountain Invitation #2.

Benes starts to get hang of starting
Converted reliever tosses seven scoreless in Cards' 3-0 win
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | April 29, 2012 7:11 PM ET
Benes (1-2) scattered three hits and a walk over seven innings in Class A Advanced Palm Beach's 3-0 shutout of Charlotte. He struck out five in his strongest start of the season.
The effort was a turnaround from the previous three outings for Benes, who was a reliever his first two seasons in professional baseball before the Cardinals informed him during Spring Training he'd be starting this year. In those outings, he went 0-2 with a 6.43 ERA over 14 innings as he tried to get a feel for taking his turn in the rotation instead of coming out of the bullpen.
"My first couple outings I was just trying to build up my stamina, my pitch count," Benes said. "Today felt really good, I felt strong. [My dad] has a lot of advice, a lot of good things to say. I'm excited to call him after this one, it's going to be a good one after today."
Benes said his father -- the first overall pick by San Diego in the 1988 Draft who pitched for 14 years in the big leagues with the Cardinals, Diamondbacks and Mariners along with the Padres -- has helped him adjust to the physical and mental routine of starting for the first time since he pitched at Arkansas State University.
Even in college, Benes only pitched for one year after converting from the infield following his freshman season.
"He helps a lot. I didn't pitch a whole lot growing up or in high school, so I hadn't worked with him a whole lot until my sophomore year of college," the 23-year-old said. "One thing I love about him is he doesn't lie to me. He'll tell me the truth, whether I look good or bad, and he does it in a nice way and offers things that might help on the mound, especially mentally."
On Sunday, Benes said using his curveball more frequently helped him go through the lineup for the second and third times, something he had struggled with in his first three starts while heavily relying on a fastball-changeup combination that had served him well as a reliever.
The strong day on the mound brought Benes' ERA down to 4.29 and he sports 18 strikeouts and just three walks over 21 innings.
"I love starting. It's good to be in a routine and get consistent work done throughout the week," Benes said. "My first couple starts, I was trying to get my legs underneath me. But every start, I feel like I've built on it and been able to go a little deeper. My goal is to be able to have the stamina to pitch the whole game. Today was great, going seven."
Benes' primary offensive support came from shortstop Ronny Gil, who went 2-for-2 and drove in two of the Cardinals' three runs.
Aidan Lucas allowed a hit and struck out one in the eighth and Logan Billbrough fanned one in a perfect ninth to seal the shutout.

Farewell from Bon Temps
Having this blog as a record of my early memories in Bon Temps -- it means the world to me. I've got one last thing to share before I sign off for good. Pictures from my wedding! Can you believe it? Hoyt and I are married! It all happened so fast but I'm glad we took the leap. It just feels right to be on this journey with him.
You've all felt like my family, and even though you couldn't be there to share the big day with me, I know you were all there in spirit.
By the way, my favorite picture is Hoyt sitting in Bill's chair looking very "stately." Perhaps he has a new calling -- mayor? I may be overreaching, but I wouldn't mind being first lady of Bon Temps…
Forever yours,
Jessica Hamby-Fortenberry
