I recently finished reading "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. My first reaction after reading the story of Mortenson's 15 + year story of building schools for the impoverished children of Pakistan and eventually Afghanistan's mountain villages was - why do the Non-Muslims do Allah's work without making any excuses, but we Muslims just argue, cheat and fight amongst ourselves?! For those who don't know Mortenson's story - he was a mountain climber who in 1993 after a … [Read more...]

LONG BEACH - A student arrested during a protest at the Cal State University Chancellor's Office won't be charged with assault against a police officer due to lack of evidence, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Seth Andrew Newmaeyer, 19, was one of more than 100 demonstrators who flooded the CSU headquarters in downtown Long Beach on Nov. 16 to protest the CSU Board of Trustees' plan to vote on a 9 percent tuition hike. The situation turned chaotic when police forced dozens of protesters outside for disrupting the meeting.
Protesters seeking to get back inside pounded on the glass front doors until one finally shattered, cutting a university police officer's arm.
Campus police identified Newmaeyer as the protester responsible for shattering the glass door and arrested him for assault and battery against a peace officer. He was also arrested on vandalism, resisting arrest, disturbing the peace and participating in a riot. However, prosecutors decided not to charge Newmaeyer with the felony crime after reviewing footage of the demonstration on the Internet, according to a report from the District Attorney's Office.
"There is evidence on YouTube that this suspect yanked on the main entrance to the Chancellor's Office in an attempt to enter and disrupt the meeting. However, once he let go of the door another suspect then used a device to shatter the door causing injury to two officers and necessitating the replacement of an expensive door," the report said.
The case was declined and referred to the Long Beach City Attorney's Office. Newmaeyer could still face the misdemeanor charges of obstructing police, disturbing the peace, vandalism, trespassing and participating in a riot, according to the report.
Three other protesters were arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest. They are Andrew Wayne Joseph, 23; Mitzy Daniela Ruelas, 19; and Ashley Allison Wardle, 24.
As the demonstration flared, CSU trustees moved to a nearby room and voted 9-6 in favor of the tuition hike. The latest increase is the third within a year for the 23-campus system.

I'm a new single mom
Hi! I'm a new single mom. I don't know how am I going to explain to my children that their father will not coming back ever.
28th June 2012 10:16 PM #2
I don't have any experience of this but I just wanted to say that I am thinking of you, and you have my support, in what must be a very difficult situation.
Will the father still be seeing the boys at all?
This Fisher Price article is about explaining divorce to young children - I don't know if this is useful to you?
At this difficult time, I would say that it is important that you have/build a support network of friends and family around you and your boys who can help support you. I also wonder if there are any local single parent support groups like there are in my area?
Maybe some other mums on this forum can share their experiences with this difficult topic too?
I wish you all the best,

I am sorry for what you are going through. I have been through a divorce and I was a single mum briefly, but my child was very, very young. How old are your children?

text: The Ear: Structure and Function The ear performs the critical task of converting the mechanical energy of sound and motion into electrical signals that travel to the brain. The ear is divided into three regions: external, middle and inner. The external ear includes the part we can see – the auricle – which acts as a collection point for sound waves, concentrating them through the ear canal, not unlike a small megaphone. At the end of the ear canal lies the eardrum, a thin membrane about the size of your pinky fingernail that vibrates when struck by sound waves. The middle ear is an air space behind the eardrum, where sound waves are converted to mechanical energy through a linkage of the three smallest bones in the body, the ossicles – the hammer (malleus), anvil (incus) and stirrup (stapes). When sound waves strike the eardrum, the vibrations move through this linkage of bones where they are amplified and transferred to the fluid-filled inner ear. The inner ear has two division, one for hearing (the cochlea) and one for balance (the vestibular labyrinth). In the cochlea, the sound-generated pressure waves traveling through the cochlear fluids stimulates hair cells that convert the mechanical movements to signals traveling in the auditory nerve to the brain. In each ear the vestibular labyrinth has three semicircular canals thta detect rotational motion and two otolith organs that detect linear motion. Head movements cause fluid shifts in the vestibular labyrinth that stimulate vestibular hair cells. The hair cells convert these movements to nerve signals in the two vestibular nerves. The cochlear and vestibular nerves, along with the facial nerve that moves the facial muscles, exit the inner ear via the inernal auditory canal and pass into the brainstem. The anatomy of the ear is closely related to a number of other structures, including the joints of the jaw, salivary glands, the facial nerve – controlling the muscles of the face, the carotid artery, jugular vein and associated cranial nerves which pass from the inside of the skull to the neck.

Two local community colleges have new presidents.
The Board of Trustees of the San Bernardino Community College District has named Cheryl Marshall as the new president of Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa, and Glen Kuck as the interim president for San Bernardino Valley College in San Bernardino.
Marshall had been serving as interim president of Crafton Hills after former President Gloria Macias Harrison retired in June.
She was the vice president of instruction since July 2007.
Marshall previously worked as associate dean of business at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut.
She earned her doctorate in education from the University of Southern California, specializing in human learning and performance. Marshall also holds a master's in industrial/organizational psychology from Cal State San Bernardino.
She said challenges at Crafton Hills include the budget, construction projects and preparing for an accreditation report in 2014.
"I'm very excited and I look forward to guiding the college in these coming years," Marshall said. "As always, we have a lot of tasks on our plate."
Kuck is the associate vice chancellor of technology and educational support services.
According to a news release from the college district, a nationwide search failed to provide a permanent president. The district will resume the search early next year.
"I've enjoyed serving this campus over the last 10 years, and I'm excited about the opportunity to work more closely alongside staff, faculty and our communities to continue finding innovative ways to enhance student success," Kuck said in a statement.
Kuck has directed the district's Distance Education, Administrative Applications, Technical Services and Printing Services departments.
He oversees two California Community College statewide projects: EduStream, a digital repository, and the Alternate Text Production Center, which converts textbooks to Braille and e-text for visually impaired students.
He earned his bachelor's degree in emergency medical care from Loma Linda University and his master's and doctorate degrees in education from the University of Southern California.

Apparently you missed the big huge sticky at the top of the beginners forum that stated http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ad-thread.html
Hello everyone,
I am an experienced winbloze user and I want to experiment with backtrack. Im have bt4 final on a dvd I can use to boot up on top of winbloze 7 or I can use bt4 in vmware. My problem is I am virtually inexperienced in a linux environment. For example, once I got the bt4 dvd booted up and managed to get logged in (only after using google to figure out how to even log in) I was stuck at the command prompt! It took some research to figure out "startx" I think im going to stick to the vmware version. Anyone know where i can find a comprehensive manual such as in pdf format that list all the commands and perhaps gives a synopsis of how each program module is used? Please forgive my newbieness
Apparently you missed the big huge sticky at the top of the beginners forum that stated http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ad-thread.html
Example: man airodump-ng -> This will show you the manual pages for airodump-ng.
In addition to the above, normally there is an option in linux programs to show all possible options of the program. It is normally -h or --help (i.e. aircrack-ng --help).
If you're looking for a comprehensive manual of backtrack i highly doubt you'll find a really comprehensive one unless you go take one of the offsec courses. Backtrack is a great collection of many many tools and I would suggest that you go take a look at those individual tools and get a hang of linux before getting on Backtrack.
thank you gentlemen those are helpful

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer
EVERETT — A Snohomish County judge on Tuesday advised a Sultan man that he should have bought a book about housebreaking dogs instead of beating a puppy named Precious.
Superior Court Judge Eric Lucas told the man that a step-by-step book from Petco would have been more productive than physically assaulting the animal.
"It's not that difficult," Lucas said.
Kenneth Palmer was sentenced to 30 days in jail for the Oct. 17 incident. He had already served 45 days and was expected to be released Tuesday. Palmer, 44, also was ordered to complete a class on preventing animal cruelty. Lucas banned Palmer from ever again owning dogs, or similar pets, or even residing in a home with dogs.
Palmer apologized, saying he was "just trying to discipline the puppy," but admitted he'd only owned a cat in the past.
"I'll never discipline another pet again as long as I live," he said.
Palmer pleaded guilty last week to first-degree animal cruelty. He faced up to a year in jail. Prosecutors recommended the 30-day sentence and asked for 10 months of community supervision. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Robert Grant also pushed for the defendant to be required to attend a class about animal abuse.
Palmer was accused of beating a pitbull-mix puppy because he was angry that the dog wasn't housebroken. The animal suffered internal bleeding but has since made a full recovery.
The incident came to the attention of police after a neighbor reported seeing Palmer kick Precious across a yard and pick the dog up by the throat. The woman told police Palmer later had the animal by the throat and was hitting her head against a porch floor.
The woman screamed for Palmer to stop. The woman threatened to call 911 if Palmer didn't hand over the dog. She told police that eventually Palmer tossed Precious to her. The woman was able to catch the dog. She fled and called police.
Precious was vomiting and unable to hold up her head or walk, court papers said.
The puppy was taken to Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital, where an ultrasound revealed internal bleeding, most likely involving the liver or spleen. A veterinarian said that type of severe trauma is typically only present if a dog has been hit by a car or kicked in the stomach. The puppy also had an injury to her eye, either from direct trauma to the eye or increased blood pressure due to strangulation.
Palmer on Tuesday was ordered to pay $753 to the Snohomish County Auditor's Office, which oversees animal control services.

I'm dealing to what i would term as "Oracle-Blackhole". For few past days i'm trying to probe myself into oracle-database-server running Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition 22.214.171.124.0. How did i came to know this(version) well i was able to successful retrieve the banner by using the get_host_address function. So it started good. I mean i was also able to do the authentication by-pass and got the web-console but my luck soon ran out as i realized that this account was configured not as much of pure dba/admin roles one it was like one of those strict role-based account in which you can only update set table attributes and fields, CANNOT delete , search/modify or do other administrative tasks. (i think this user has only rights to one table not full database?)
I needed to explore more in depth the construction and design details of the whole database. I'm sure there would not be one databases but multiple tables, and i want to inquire about details of privileged accounts existing on machine and lastly i want to run some o/s level commands accessing the back-end database (perhaps being able to make new user-account,delete others and yes ultimately getting the root level access to the box)
So far oracle sure has been all tough on me...coz i have tried to inject various attack strings but i was bombarded with sql-error ORA-xxx . I know i'm terribly wrong somewhere but i don't know where? this is my first time playing around with an Oracle db and so far it didn't turned out to be a piece of cake for me. So far this is what i have achieved (-ve results / errors)
string:' OR SELECT username FROM all_users ORDER BY username--
function:List Users
error:ORA-00936: missing expression
string:' or SELECT name,spare4 FROM sys.user$ -- priv, 11g--
function:list pwd hashes
error:ORA-00936: missing expression
string:' or SELECT DISTINCT grantee FROM dba_sys_privs WHERE ADMIN_OPTION = 'YES'--
functionriv, list DBAs, DBA roles
error:missing expression
and same set of error when Hostname, IP Address information is queried for
SELECT UTL_INADDR.get_host_name FROM dual;
SELECT host_name FROM v$instance;
SELECT UTL_INADDR.get_host_address FROM dual; -- gets IP address
SELECT UTL_INADDR.get_host_name('10.0.0.1') FROM dual; -- gets hostnames
I want to know what the easiest way to hack into oracle db? and do i have to do some buffer-overflows attacks meaning exploiting application level vulnerabilities against vulnerable oracle services to gain / execute machine/system level commands. Does the programming language matter in this case? In my case i have asp.net and the back-end machine is window 2003.
I would really appreciate help from this great community. Thank

title: World Weirdest: Toxic Dragon

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
The small island of Komodo is home to the world's largest lizard, the Komodo dragon.
At 10 feet long and over 300 pounds, this monitor lizard on steroids is built to brawl...and its moves aren't bad either.
With a ground speed of 11 miles per hour, and a toxic bite, it has all the tools to be a fearsome predator.
But its most important tool...is its tongue.
Like its snake relatives, the Komodo flicks its tongue in and out to gather scents.
This gives it the ability to sniff out prey that's two miles away.
It just needs to get in one foul, filthy, infectious bite.
Some sewers are cleaner than its saliva, which drips with some 50 strains of virulent bacteria.
An animal the Komodo has bitten will likely die within a few days.
Then all the Komodo has to do is track it.
Though if it doesn't get there quickly, other Komodos will.
In the Komodo world, the biggest dragon gets the biggest share.
Its tongue is also essential for mating.
The male uses it to determine which females are in heat.
But getting a chance to woo her is another story.
She's not in the mood.

The Flatus of Yore, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- Japanese scrolls from the Edo period depict—yes—erumpent, competitive flatulence.
- Back to more dignified fare. Guess the classic novel from its first sentence.
- Fact: Kurt Vonnegut wrote a made-for-TV movie in 1972. It's called Between Time and Timbuktu, or Prometheus-5: A Space Fantasy. Vonnegut later withdrew from the production: "I am not going to have anything more to do with film—for this reason: I don't like film." Well. As far as excuses go, that one's airtight.
- "I think empathy is a guy who punches you in the face at a bus station, and you're somehow able to look at him and know enough about what situation he was in to know that he had to do that and not to hit back. That's empathy, and nothing ever happens in writing that has that kind of moral heroism about it." A new interview with John Jeremiah Sullivan.
- As any reader of Empson's Seven Types of Ambiguity knows, vagueness can be artful, but it's especially so in Mandarin writing, where ambiguous sentences resemble optical illusions.

Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official website has given wide receiver Ryan Broyles a tag that fantasy owners have been giving him for the past couple of months. Twentyman wrote Tuesday that Broyles is a "likely breakout candidate" this season because Broyles "has a unique ability to decipher man versus zone concepts and find the open spaces in the defense. Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford refers to him as a 'chain mover.' He's a 50-catch candidate this season."
Broyles tore his right ACL about seven and a half months ago and is ahead of schedule with his rehab. He even took part in some drills during June minicamp.
Fantasy Analysis:
I think 50 is a low number for Broyles if he is healthy. He will probably be limited during training camp, but I expect him to be full go by the start of the regular season. He caught 22 passes between Week 7 and Week 13 last year before his injury. If Broyles makes it through an entire season, it shouldn't take him long to pass Nate Burleson in the pecking order, and I think his reception total will be between 60-70, especially in an offense that threw more than 700 passes last season with no change of philosophy in sight. A healthy Broyles could be a huge value pick as a WR4/WR5.

What is this?
Comparing Aircrack-ng versus coWPAtty, in the time it takes to crack a WPA2 PSK key.
It shows 4 different cracks, the time taken and speed of the crack (see results).
> Aircrack-ng (Dictionary)
> Aircrack-ng & airolib-ng (Pre-computed hashes)
> coWPAtty (Dictionary)
> coWPAtty & Genpmk (Pre-computed hashes)
How does this work?
To crack WPA/WPA2 PSK you need to capture a 'Handshake' . The best way to this packet the attacker needs to disconnect a connected client currently on the network (if the attacker keeps on repeating this part, it will be a DoS to the user).
Once the key packet has been captured, it is time to start an offline dictionary attack. If the network key is in the dictionary, its just a question of waiting to process the dictionary file.
From here, the attacker can use that key to decrypt the captured data from before, and now is able to 'read' it as well as join the network.
If there isn't a connected client - you cant do this. If the network key isnt in the dictionary file - you cant do this.
You can speed the the cracking process by creating pre-calculated hash files (see results - for how much faster!)

Have you...g0tmi1k?
Thank you my dear, but how can I get a dictionary
You can find tons of different dictionaries all over the net just do some searching
Remember google is your friend!
g0tmi1k: [Site News] February Update - ISOs and Dictionaries
Have you...g0tmi1k?
so how would i use a dictionary i download if i use backtrack on a live boot cd
What CPU did you use to get that results?
If you have multi-core processor, have you noticed that aircrack-ng uses several cores whereas coWPAtty uses just one independent core?
As for usage you should study man pages of aircrack-ng or their tutorials at official pages.
Would of been on my laptop - so nothing higher than a duo core 2GHz (if that!)
Yeah. Your right, coWPAtty only does use one core, whereas aircrack-ng uses more...
Another hint for speed is to split the dictionaries in more parts and run more instances of your cracking utility. Source
I haven't done WiFI pentesting since recording this video. When I get the time, Ill look into it more.
Have you...g0tmi1k?

So How Hawkish Is Hillary Clinton?
Okay, everybody. Deep breath, back to equilibrium. Yes, Hillary Clinton talked some smack on Barack Obama to Jeff Goldberg in that interview. But beyond those three or four sentences—and when yanked out of their larger context, sentences like that always carry more shock value than they do in context—did she really say very much that set her dramatically apart from Barack Obama? How different, really, would a Clinton foreign policy be?
Despite Clinton's very public efforts to make up with the president, the consensus verdict over these last three hyperventilating days is: dramatically different. Hillary's a neocon! Robert Kagan, operatic Iraq war enthusiast, admires her. MoveOn, the grassroots liberal group, snarled at her like a tiger—specifically, one freshly on the prowl for a non-Clinton alternative for 2016: "Secretary Clinton…should think long and hard before embracing the same policies advocated by right-wing war hawks that got America into Iraq in the first place and helped set the stage for Iraq's troubles today."
Having read through the interview a few times now and talked to some folks about it, I'm less convinced that the differences—with two key exceptions—are that dramatic. But those exceptions are big ones, and they make me wonder not only about any future Clinton foreign policy priorities, but about her political judgment today.
The main, non-headline-making takeaway from the whole interview is that she wants a bigger American footprint in the world than Obama seems to. Okay, we've known that, but she spelled out what that means at some length. And she's actually pretty nuanced about it. She does not mean, as people to her left reflexively seem to think she means, going bombs away. Money quote:
"I think we've learned about the limits of our power to spread freedom and democracy. That's one of the big lessons out of Iraq. But we've also learned about the importance of our power, our influence, and our values appropriately deployed and explained. If you're looking at what we could have done that would have been more effective, would have been more accepted by the Egyptians on the political front, what could we have done that would have been more effective in Libya, where they did their elections really well under incredibly difficult circumstances but they looked around and they had no levers to pull because they had these militias out there. My passion is, let's do some after-action reviews, let's learn these lessons, let's figure out how we're going to have different and better responses going forward."
What did she just say there? No Iraqs. Good. But more aggressive pushing on Egyptian moderates to form political parties, get in the game, and not leave the competition to just military vs. Muslim Brotherhood (she had spoken at length on this earlier). And more follow-through in Libya. I don't think those are positions that would have her marching in the shoot-'em-up parade next to John McCain. A bit later, Goldberg gently challenged her that the constituency in America for her middle-ground views between Obama and the neocons might not exist, and she acknowledged that by making a good point in her own defense: "…most Americans think of engagement and go immediately to military engagement. That's why I use the phrase 'smart power.' I did it deliberately because I thought we had to have another way of talking about American engagement, other than unilateralism and the so-called boots on the ground."

I have been playing around with IMacros and wanted to call macros from a shell script (as I wanted to automate port forwarding). I have been able to make this work and would like to improve it.
Hopefully others would feel the same way and would like to help me with this idea.
Its very ugly at this point but...
Here is the script that forwards ports on one of my test routers...(router code removed of course)
# If you want to try this to automate port forwardingCode:
echo "$imacro_code" | openssl enc -base64 > /tmp/tmp
sed '$!N;s/\n/ /' /tmp/tmp > /tmp/tmp1 # Yeah I know - I don't Know how to use SED properly
sed '$!N;s/\n/ /' /tmp/tmp1 > /tmp/tmp # But it works
sed '$!N;s/\n/ /' /tmp/tmp > /tmp/tmp1
sed '$!N;s/\n/ /' /tmp/tmp1 > /tmp/tmp
sed '$!N;s/\n/ /' /tmp/tmp > /tmp/tmp1
sed '$!N;s/\n/ /' /tmp/tmp1 > /tmp/tmp
sed 's/ //g' tmp > tmp1 # Removes blank spaces
code="$(cat tmp1)"
rm -rf /tmp/tmp1
rm -rf /tmp/tmp
firefox & # Firefox needs to be open already for this to work
sleep 3
firefox http://run.imacros.net/?code=$code & # Runs the IMacro code
exit 0
# 1. install Imacros addon (search firefox addons - its the first thing that comes up)
# 2. Go to your router login page
# 3. click record tab
# 4. click record
enter password
change port number (don't leave it the same)
click save settings
# 5. click stop recording
# 6. click the edit tab
# 7. click edit macro
# 8. copy and paste text into the quotes after $imacro_code
# 9. add variable where the IP address and ports are (optional at this point)
If someone has a method of
- only killing the Firefox windows that were opened by this script. I don't want to use killall firefox-bin and the PID for it is elusive.
- cleaning up the SED garbage or making openssl put the entire code in one line
- a better way of doing this
That would be fantastic

Another Nov mama brought to my attention a "Nurse-In Event" on Facebook today and I think any drama over breastfeeding being sexualized or making others uncomfortable is ridiculous. I'm proud to breastfeed my baby, even in public. It's a very beautiful thing, not to mention the best, most nutritional food for him. Here's my nurse-in photo, I think it really is a beautiful moment captured in photo. Feel free to share yours, and be proud to be a BFing mama, anywhere.

How do I explain to a 5-year old about how adults can do certain stuff but kids can't
They say that imitation is the best form of flattery but when it is your 5-year old kid copying the way you discipline him, then it can be unsettling.
For example, he would do something or would ask me for something he's not allowed to have, I would say it with a firm 'No'. Now when I would ask him to do something he doesn't like (drinking his medicine, or being on the computer) he gives me 'No', with that same firm decisive tone I'd use for him....lol
He's a very observant kid and is probably confused why his mum and siblings can do cool stuff.
How do I explain to a 5-year old about how adults can do certain stuff but kids can't?

Hi Raven
I can hear two issues here. One is about your child being too young to do some of the things his siblings (and his parents) do. The other is him taking your strategies for dealing with him when he is doing something inappropriate and using them with you.
One of the things we have to remember when guiding our children's behaviour is that whatever strategies we use with them, they will use with others. For instance children who are hit often hit others. If children are given answers without reasons they will often return those reason-less answers to others. Rather than a firm no, consider explaining to your child what he can't have or do and offering an alternative. Send to him the strategies and tone you would like him to use with you in return. It really is true that children learn what they live and as parents we can be the most wonderful role-models when it comes to dealing with conflict.
In terms of your son missing out on cool stuff, it isn't unreasonable for him to feel this is unfair. But obviously there will be things he can't do. But there are also things which maybe, truthfully he can do. Consider whether he really does have to miss out? Is there something he can get to do that the older children don't? This will enable him to better accept that some things he can't do.
My nine year old's latest complaint is that I get to stay up late and watch television. The truth is I rarely get to do this as I am usually working but from her perspective what else would I be doing but watching TV (!). My answer to this is always the same. Adults and children need different amounts of sleep and have different things they have to do each day. As parents we spend a lot of our time looking after children and once they are safely tucked up in bed we then get a little time to ourselves as a reward. This helps us to be better parents!

Brooks + Scarpa Architects
Affordable housing might not be the first typology that springs to mind while strolling along the promenades of Santa Monica—given that the municipality has the highest rents in southern California. Still, the beachside city wants to maintain socioeconomic diversity despite the ever-rising costs of living that have priced out many long-term residents. With the Brooks + Scarpa Architects-designed 430 Pico Place, the city, through a partnership with Community Corp . of Santa Monica, has added 32 new LEED Platinum affordable housing units less than a half a mile from the ocean. The Los Angeles–based design firm arranged two- and three-bedroom dwellings—ranging from 760 to 1,025 square feet¬—around a shared courtyard shaded by fabric screens. Planted balconies line this outdoor space, which also has a sidewalk-level community room. "I think the interplay of the different scales of outdoor public space is really well done here," said juror Gregory Hoss. Cary Bernstein added, "There's a very layered set of options for occupying the private spaces and the public spaces." A street-facing frame ties the building volumes together while promoting natural ventilation through the dwelling area; built for $162 per square foot overall, 430 Pico Place proves that affordability and sustainability can work in tandem.

I am not sure about which one where I should place your code. Would you kindly inform in details?
OK, firstly, do you know how to access the various code sections of your site? If you don't know how to edit the files in a text editor, you will have to access them via your admin panel.
Secondly, what do you want the menu bar to look like?
Yes, I know how to access to various code section as well as admin panel. Yes , I want to change menubar or main nvatigaton bar. But I am not sure which code/ part is for changing menu bar. I see many code/things in style.css section of my site but exactly which one is for menu bar?
The bit that I posted above.

Drug residues in the environment are of growing interest worldwide. In both human and veterinary medicine a large number of drugs are used. After excretion, these drugs and their metabolites can contaminate the environment. Residues of pharmaceuticals used in human medicine occur in water by passing sewage treatment plants. New investigations show, that more than 40 different drugs can be found in surface waters from the low to the very low �g/L concentration range [for review see references 1 and 2].
Veterinary drugs can enter the environment directly by the use in fish farms, by urine and dung or by liquid manure used as fertilizer (see fig. 1). Important drugs in this field are antibiotics and antiparasitic drugs.
Fig. 1: Anticipated exposure routes of veterinary drugs in the environment [3]
A recently published study of Germanys Federal Environmental Agency showed, that the degradation rate of tetracycline in liquid manure is approximately 50 % in 5 months [4]. In a screening of 62 pig slurry samples 9 were found positive for tetracycline with amounts of 5 to 24 mg/L.
There is still very little known about the amounts of these veterinary drugs in soil. Therefore, we performed first investigations to evaluate the fate of frequently used drugs such as tetracyclines in soils fertilized with liquid manure in regions with intensive livestock farming. In another approach possible leaching of these compounds into seeping water and ground water was also investigated [5].
Sampling, sample preparartion and measurement
Soil samples were collected from 12 agricultural fields in Northern Germany in early February 2000, the last fertilization with liquid manure was in September 1999. Samples were collected at depths of 10, 20, 30, 60, and 90 cm below soil surface. Two control samples from fields without slurry fertilization since at least 5 years were also taken from this region. Samples were immediately transported under cooling to the laboratory and stored at 4oC prior analysis.
In another approach the distribution of antibiotics in one long-term soil monitoring area [6] fertilized with pig slurry was investigated in detail: 8 samples were taken in and beside 4 specially marked areas. The area was fertilized in April, soil sampling was performed in May. Additionely the pig slurry subjected to this area was investigated for tetracylines. In 4 areas "crusty" animal slurry was picked up from the topsoil and in addition soil samples were taken from 0-30 cm.
Water was sampled via pumping from depths of 80 cm and 120 cm in four different areas using 0,5 bar below atmospheric pressure. Two sampling areas were fields belonging to farms housing pigs and cows; the other two places were the control areas mentioned above.
Soil samples were liquid-liquid extracted based on a method for the extraction of tetracyclines from eggs [7], water samples were pretreated with solid phase extraction. Measurement was obtained by the application of liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS-MS). The mobile phase of the reversed phase C18-LC-system consisted of 0,5% formic acid in water and a linear gradient from 0 to 50% acetontrile. [M+H]+-ions were obtained from all compounds, (ion-)trapped, fragmented and prominent daughter ions registered.
The main results of our study in February are summarized in figure 2. Leaching of the anaylzed compounds into seeping water sampled at a depth of 80-140 cm could not be detected with the methods employed. The results of tetracycline amounts of the detailed investigation of the long-term soil monitoring area and the slurry used for fertilization are given in table 1. The results of the "crusty" slurrys and the amounts of tetracyclines in the soil above are given in table 2. All data are not corrected for recovery (average recoveries were 74,7 % for oxytetracycline, 37,9 % for tetracycline and 69,8 % for chlortetracycline.
Tab. 1: Detailed investigation of a long-term soil monitoring area after fertilization with pig slurry containing 4 mg/L tetracycline and 0,1 mg/L chlortetracycline. 8 samples in- and outside marked areas within the field were sampled in different soil depths.
Fig.2: Investigation of various soil samples with LC-ESI-MS-MS. A und B: Tetracycline in soils 1-14, C: Chlortetracycline in soils 5-14, (average of two replicates). Limit of determination: 5 �g/kg, limit of detection: 1 �g/kg for all compounds.
Tab. 2: Results of the investigation of "crusty" slurrys from 3 different areas.
In a pilot study we detected with sophisticated LC-ESI-MS-MS procedures tetracycline and chlortetracycline in agricultural fields fertilized with animal slurry in concentrations up to 32 �g/kg soil [5, see also fig. 2. a-c]. In that study samples were taken in February, the last application of slurry was approximately 4-5 months ago. These findings showed, that tetracyclines are persistent in the environment and that the detected amounts were in several areas higher than the so called "phase I trigger value" of 10 �g/kg soil recommended by EMEA. If this value is exceeded, additional ecotoxicological tests have to be applied since 1997 for the final registration of a new drug [8].
Meanwhile we performed a detailed investigation of a long-term soil monitoring area which received slurry in April and soil sampling took place in May. In that case, we also received a pig slurry sample. It could be shown, that the tetracyclines were distributed evenly over the field and that the antibiotics were ploughed in a soil depth of approximately 30 cm. Calculating the predicted environmental concentration (PEC) of tetracyclin in soil following the EMEA guidance [8] and based on the amount of 4 mg/L measured in liquid manure, amounts of 100 �g/kg in the top 10 cm (or approximately 30 �g/kg in the top 30 cm) should be expected. In our study, the average distribution of tetracycline in the top 30 cm in this field was between 20 and 40 �g/kg which shows, that the worst case scenario for the calculation of PECs is quite realistic for tetracyclines and that these compounds are nearly quantitatively transferred from slurry into soil.
Acute problems with tetracyclines in the environment may arise, when animal slurry is not sufficiently ploughed in the soil. We found an example of an area where liquid manure dried on the topsoil and the amount of chlortetracycline in this "crusty" slurry was as high as 1 mg/kg, which is in the range of the minimal inhibitory concentration for several bacteria, e.g. in plasma.
Leaching of these compounds into seeping or ground water could not be detected with the methods employed. Tetracyclines easily build chelatic complexes with bivalent cations, e.g. with calcium. Currently it is not known, what kind of complexation or adsorption takes place in soil and in seeping water. Therefore, we should not overinterprete our first negative findings in the water samples and work on a further improvement especially of analytical techniques.
Finally we conclude, that our studies show that tetracyclines, which are frequently used worldwide, are not only persistent in animal slurry but also in soil in significant amounts, and that these substances represent an actual environmental problem in intensive livestock farming.
Based on reports in the literature [1-4] and on our investigations [5] we propose the following:

This text provides an explanation of the term 'language(s) of schooling' and a description of two of its key components 'language as subject' and 'language in other subjects'. It stresses the importance of recognising the wide range of language uses a pupil will encounter in school and the need to build on the pupils' individual language repertoire. This text provides an introduction to the 'language as subject' and languages in other subjects' sections of the platform.
Whatever the subject, all knowledge building in the school context involves working with language. The purpose of this text is to suggest a general approach enabling different levels of specification of these language dimensions to be classed in transversal descriptive categories. The aim is to describe the process leading from units for analysis of actual uses to the identification of linguistic forms and mechanisms appropriate to those uses. It is aimed not only at the authors of curricula and textbooks and the designers of tests, but also at teachers, and especially teachers of subjects sometimes quite wrongly described as "non-linguistic", to draw their attention to the language components of work in their subject. It is also relevant to teacher trainers, particularly those responsible for the teaching of disciplines other than languages taught as a subject.
Lingua e discipline scolastiche – Dimensioni linguistiche nella costruzione delle conoscenze nei curricoli
This Concept Paper aims to provide a point of entry to the project Languages in Education/Languages for Education (LE) from the perspective of the needs of children and adolescents from migrant backgrounds. Chapter 1 summarises the Council of Europe's general policy regarding the linguistic integration of migrants, and introduces the concept of plurilingual and intercultural education, which is fundamental to the LE project. Within this multidimensional framework, Chapter 2 seeks to identify the policy and implementation challenges that confront member states. Chapter 3 explains how the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the European Language Portfolio have been adapted to support the language learning of migrant children and adolescents who are beginners in the language of schooling. Finally, Chapter 4 briefly introduces the different dimensions of educational and linguistic integration addressed by the studies and resources that complement this document.
This presentation was given during an intergovernmental conference organised by the Language Policy Division in Strasbourg (8-10 June 2009) on "Languages of schooling and the right to plurilingual and intercultural education"
When migrant children and adolescents arrive in their host country knowing nothing of the language of schooling, they must simultaneously master conversational and academic varieties of the language. Second and third-generation migrants typically face a different challenge. They may be conversationally fluent in the language of schooling, but their mastery of literacy in the standard language can easily be impeded by the presence of deviant forms in their idiolect. Marie-Madeleine Bertucci's study illuminates this problem with reference to the written French produced by such learners. The study has far-reaching implications for French as language of schooling and challenges linguists to carry out similar studies for other languages.
This study provides an introduction to language diagnostics in multilingual educational settings, with particular reference to the needs of children and adolescents from migrant backgrounds. It summarises the objectives and functions of language diagnostics and the principles that govern diagnostics, including formative assessment, as an integral part of continuous language education that emphasises individualised teaching and learning. From a theoretical perspective diagnostic procedures in multilingual settings treat language learning as a socio-cultural activity.
La valutazione diagnostica delle competenze linguistiche in un contesto multilingue: un processo continuo che favorisce l'insegnamento e l'apprendimento individualizzato
The Languages in and for Education project has at its centre a commitment to an integrated approach to language teaching and learning. This means that in a school context all teachers, whether of the language of schooling taught as subject, second/foreign languages or other curriculum subjects, have a vested interest in and a responsibility for the pupils' development of language competence. This paper discusses the aims of language as subject and foreign language teaching, and considers aims as they relate to the teaching in/of minority languages and language in other subjects, stressing the need to identify common goals.
In order to achieve educational success pupils from migrant backgrounds must be more than conversationally fluent in the language of schooling: they must also master the varieties of academic language that constitute the fabric of the different curriculum subjects. Because knowledge is virtually inseparable from the language that embodies it, the project "Languages in Education – Languages for Education" takes the view that all teachers must be language teachers in the sense that they are aware of the specific language demands of their subject(s). This study suggests some of the ways in which this challenge can be met.
The European Language Portfolio (ELP) was introduced as a concept in 1997 and formally launched in 2001. It has been taken up in almost thirty Council of Europe member states and 107 models had been accredited by the spring of 2010. The ELP is concerned with the learning and use of second and foreign languages (L2s), which is just one focus of the Languages in Education/Languages for Education (LE) project. But can the LE project benefit from the pedagogical experience that has accumulated over ten years of ELP implementation?
Despite growing numbers of students with diverse language histories attending school across Europe, systematic and structured professional education to prepare teachers and educational managers for work in multilingual schools is still relatively rare. Both initial teacher education and professional development for mainstream teachers tend not to problematise the language of schooling, assuming that all students are fully fluent, competent users of the language, in and out of the classroom. Professional development needs to address this and other issues.
In contemporary schools, linguistic diversity is a common feature and should be the starting point for the educational activities of educators and teachers. Immigrant minority children usually live bi- or multilingual lives in the host country and bring a multitude of languages and language competences to their educational institutions. This study focuses on ways in which the linguistic integration of bi- and multilingual children and young people can be designed successfully through collaboration among pupils, parents, teachers and other educational experts as well as between schools and other institutions.
The 2007 conference enabled work on the development of a common framework of reference, in the form of an electronic platform, to progress. The purpose of the framework is to help elaborate policies and practices capable of meeting the specific challenges of the language of schooling.
The 2006 conference marked the begining of the languages of schooling project within the wider context of the "languages of education" concept. This was the first time the member states had been officially consulted in order to define future work.
Individual studies are contained in the Final Report, of the Krakow Conference (pdf documents - available online at the website of Jagiellonian University - Poland) and are followed by 24 papers discussing the relationship between terms, concepts, notions, understandings and practices of the educational and academic fields in question.
This document is directly linked to educational policies in Luxembourg and the challenges of multilingual school practices for subject teachers. The vehicular languages are German and French with national regulations about language use in each class/ subject. The project presented here aims at enhancing teachers' professional language skills as part of their general teaching proficiency as they have to cater for more and more linguistically diverse learners.
The proposed course targets young secondary teachers, at postgraduate level, who are requested to confront concepts of learning and theoretical models with their own experiences in the classroom. The selected key areas for professional development are awareness for language issues, key notions of language learning processes, concepts of subject literacies and discourse functions, interaction for learning, multilingual didactics, cultural contexts of learning as well as evaluation questions. For each area, a similar approach includes driving questions, key words, selected references, targeted teacher competences as well as a few suggestions for training activities.
The needs of teachers varying greatly, the areas for development are not equally relevant for all. The course leaves room for trainers' initiatives and puts emphasis on situated approaches to methodological issues. Classroom-based investigations and a reflective stance should improve practice. A reading list is added.
The objectives of this Framework for early second language learning* are aimed primarily at immigrant pre-school children, but are equally relevant to children whose mother tongue coincides with the language of schooling. Because there are a number of things that all pre-school children must be capable to do in the language of schooling before starting primary education to avoid falling behind very quickly. Therefore, the Framework contains minimum objectives defining what children should already be able to do with the language of schooling when entering primary education.
This document is a useful tool for teachers of pre-school children and their hierarchy in scrutinising their language teaching and establishing a language policy, for materials developers, for inspectors, for teaching assistants, teacher trainers, educationalists and those providing out-of-school courses and for test developers.
[*The second language referred to in this Framework is the language of schooling of the migrant's children host country.]
ISCED - International Standard Classification of Education, developed by UNESCO
0 = pre-primary education, 1 = primary education or first stage of basic education, 2 = lower secondary education or second stage of basic education (the subsidiary criteria for this level include entry after some 6 years of primary education; end of the cycle after 9 years from the beginning of primary education; end of compulsory education)
The following descriptors were developed under the auspices of the Nederlandse Taalunie for ISCED Level 0 (please see the Framework of Reference for Early Second Language Acquisition - section above)
List of Descriptors
The objectives are described at three levels – macro (fields), meso (language acts/tasks) and micro (elements). Descriptors presented here at macro level are those for the field of school; "school" here means any situation occurring within the educational sphere and intended to stimulate the child's development.

text: A 7 year old girl with just a few months to live really wanted to meet Justin Bieber. Apparently Justin was busy with sizzurp and hookers so the little girl had to settle for her second choice. Miley Cyrus. According to Radar, the family was flown to LA where they were put off for a week by Miley and her people before the girl was allowed to visit Miley in a recording studio. Family friends said that Miley was more interested in what she was doing work wise than spending time with the little girl and now the family is trying to make her original wish come true. I know Miley is busy, but here is my thing. If you agree to meet with someone who is dying and is a little girl, then you can probably spend a couple of hours doing something fun with the girl. You aren't under any obligation to meet with anyone. That is your decision. If, you do decide to meet with someone though, then I think you owe it to that person to give the best of you for however much time you can spend. Do you want some girl who is dying to think that some recording you are making takes higher priority than her? Is what you are doing so important to the future of the world that you can't spend some uninterrupted time with a girl who only wanted to meet you before she died?

Judyrae Kruse is taking some well-earned time off. Here is an encore column from March 2008.
Last shot at stuffed peppers today. Well, probably, as faithful Forum contributor Jean Kroeze of Arlington polishes off possibilities we have on hand with this final pair and says, "These give a little more variety to choose from."
Jean mentions she combed through her cookbooks for the how-to, and found the first recipe in her 1959 copy of "Farm Journal's Country Cookbook," and the second in a 1956 edition of "Betty Crocker's Cook Book."
Next, here's another peanut butter cake to try. If Bret Lawson of Everett has yet to connect with just the right recipe, contributor Carol Wilson says, "This might be the one."
Green bell peppers
6 large green peppers
2 pounds ground beef
1 cup dry bread (or cracker) crumbs
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup ketchup
Rinse peppers, cut off tops and remove seeds; set aside.
In large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread or cracker crumbs, onion, egg, milk, salt, pepper and ketchup; mix well and fill peppers with mixture.
(Shape any excess mixture into individual loaves, wrap in freezer paper and freeze. To cook, unwrap and place in baking dish; bake at 350 degrees 45 minutes.)
Wrap stuffed peppers or place in freezer containers and freeze. Bake without thawing in covered baking dish at 350 degrees until tender.

The first question:
Osho,Explain the relationship-of the two eyes with the third eye. In which way do the techniques concerned with looking affect the third eye?
Firstly, two points are to be understood. One, the energy of the third eye is really the same as that which moves in the two ordinary eyes - the same energy. It begins to move in a new center. The third eye is already there, but non-functioning, and it cannot see unless these ordinary eyes become unseeing.
The same energy has to move in it. When the energy is not moving in the two eyes it can move in the third, and when it moves in the third the two eyes will become unseeing. They will be there, but you won't be able to see through them. That energy that looks through them will be absent; it will move through a new center. That center is between these two eyes. It is already there, complete; any moment it can function. But it needs energy to function, and that same energy has to be diverted.
Secondly, when you are seeing through the two eyes, you are seeing through the physical body. The third eye is not really a part of the physical body. It is part of the second body which is hidden - the subtle body, the sukshma sharir. It has a corresponding spot in the physical body, but it is not part of it. That is why physiology cannot believe that there exists a third eye or anything like it, because your skull can be analyzed, penetrated, x-rayed, and there is no point, no physical entity which can be said to be the third eye. The third eye is part of the subtle body, the sukshma sharir.
When you die your physical body dies, but your sukshma sharir, your subtle body, moves with you; it takes another birth. Unless the subtle body dies, you can never be freed from the circle of birth-death, rebirth-redeath. The circle moves on.
The third eye belongs to the subtle body. When the energy is moving through the physical body, you are looking through the physical eyes. That is why through the physical eyes you cannot look at anything other than the physical, than the material. The two eyes are physical. Through these eyes you cannot look at anything, cannot see anything which is not physical.
Only with the third eye functioning can you enter a different dimension. Now you can see things which are invisible to the physical eyes, but are visible to the subtle eyes. Then, with the third eye functioning, if you look at a person you look at his soul, at his spirit, not at his body - just like you look at the physical body through the physical eyes, but you cannot see the soul. The same happens when you look through the third eye: you look and the body is not there, just the one who resides in the body.

Dorchester County reports a business boom in November
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Leaders in Dorchester County say they are experiencing unprecedented business growth this year.
"We are seeing a revised interest in all sectors, retail, residential and industrial," Jon Baggett, Dorchester County Economic Development leader, told News 2. "There is new shopping center anchored by Harris Teeter on Dorchester Road that will open soon and just riding around, I can see new homes being built."
Harris Teeter is also mid plans to develop the old Piggly Wiggly on Trolley Road, and the company owns land near the Ponds community off Highway 17-A.
Later this month two other corporations will open and hire 157 employees. Comact USA is located in St George, and the company will hire 40 new employees when they open their doors November 15. American Tactical Imports will open in November in an existing building off Deming Way. The company plans to hire 117 people.
"This year, we have had a record number of inquiries on the industrial side,' Baggett said. "I expect to see that sector grow more for us with the deepening of the Charleston Harbor and Boeing's growth."
"That momentum is important" County Council Chairman, Bill Hearn said. "When people see Dorchester County is a player in the economic development landscape, they come here and take a look at what we have."
In recent years there's been a push by the Council to install infrastructure, like sewer lines, to make the county more attractive.
"It's our job as County Council to make those sites ready and available," Hearn said.
Some of the sites include the Winding Woods development, a site near Patriot Boulevard in North Charleston, and one in Ridgeville.
"We received $4.3 million in grants from the Economic Development Administration to help improve water and sewer infrastructure for ArborGen and Robert Bosch. This has led to nearly 400 new jobs with their growth," Baggett explained.
With the possibility of more jobs, the Economic Development Office turned their attention to education and work skills training.
"One issue we found was the lack of "soft skills." To solve that, we have implemented a Work Ethic Training Program at Woodland High School and the Career School," Baggett explained. "It has been very successful in preparing the future workforce."

Dementia is a syndrome – usually of a chronic or progressive nature – in which there is deterioration in cognitive function (i.e. the ability to process thought) beyond what might be expected from normal ageing. It affects memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning capacity, language, and judgement. Consciousness is not affected.

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by BrAinPaiNt, Sep 30, 2012.
New Dexter starts tonight...also new season of Homeland starts right after dexter.
Busy night for me......football, Dexter, Hell on Wheels, Boardwalk, Homeland and Treme
Looking forward to seeing what happens. I hope they don't underestimate our intelligence and have him play it off and make up some story. If he comes clean it will be interesting.
On another note, like Yaeger said, Sundays are getting really serious. Sunday Night Football, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, Homeland, the Walking Dead will be here soon. Thank God It's Always Sunny isn't on Sunday or I might actually feel a little overwhelmed.
From the preview I saw, it looks like he's going to try and play it off as a one time thing.
I really hope that doesn't last very long.
Me too. That would be ridiculous. People just aren't that dumb. I mean they are, but not Deb!
I love Dexter, but never underestimate the predictability of the writers.
Can't wait. Great show.
Deb just needs to take a chill pill. Let dexter do what he does best. However, I feel Dexter is not helping his case out any but going back to his normal lifestyle, and making it rather apparent to Deb that he is not effected about killing him.
Really great opening episode to season 7. Loved the end of the episode. I was afraid they'd drag Deb finding out the whole truth throughout the whole season, but they got straight to it. Very very cool. Can't wait to see what happens.
To me, Dexter seasons 1 and 4 are up there with the best of The Sopranos, Lost, Breaking Bad and The Wire. I also really liked season 2. Season 3 was solid. Season 5 was subpar for Dexter, but still better than most shows. Season 6 was a mixed bag-- some very good, some not so good at all. Overall, it's still one of my favorite shows of all-time, Dexter is one of the great TV characters of all-time, and Michael C. Hall is just fantastic, but the up and downs of the last two seasons had me worried about this season. But the season premiere was really good, so my expectations/hopes are up. Looking forward to the rest of the season!
Still the same sloppy/lazy writing as the last few years, but at least the plot is looking decent.
Glad they jumped right into Deb finding out.
I would say, it didn't get good, until Deb found everything. Also, Deb is on camera tooooo much.
Yes, season 5 just needs to be erased from memory. Season 6 was forgettable.
This season definitely started off slow but the last couple of episodes have made up for that. I'm digging the Hannah McKay storyline although it's kinda forced. Would have been much better if they spread it over a couple of seasons and introduced her last year.
Season 5 had its moments..... I think Lumen was a great character and they realized that a character like that is good for the show.. hence why Hannah is on this season. Season 6 could have been much better but overall Colin Hanks was a decent villain. Let's face it though - nothing will ever compare to the Trinity Killer or the Ice Truck Killer.
It's hard to top Lithgow
Really really liked this latest episode.
And then all that happened.
I really don't like the writers for this show, they are so sloppy. Create one dramatic situation, end it instantly, move on. It's getting soap operaish at points.
When did Dexter become such an idiot that he would try to kill a high profile (in relation to himself) target AFTER he was told he was under suspicion of being a killer?
And I'm in the belief that Deb set Hannah up, and Hannah is not responsible for Debs accident/overdose. I mean, they *DID* put in the throw away line of "I would do ANYTHING to protect Dexter from you".
Just seems out of character for her, I mean honestly..
But then again, these are the same writers who think you can't survive a gunshot wound to the stomach if "The bullet is still inside", even if you go to the hospital immediately, and the wound untreated didn't kill you within like 6 hours.
So much potential for this season, and I still think it's decent (compared to recent ones) overall, but these constant lapses in writing ability drive me insane. I feel like they can't even keep their own characters consistent, and just create random scenarios to make drama.
I haven't liked the way they have jumped all over the place this season. Dexter should have one main villain not 20. The only thing I can think of is they are trying to change up instead of following the same pattern.
I used to be a BIG Dexter fan, but the last 3 season have sucked. I quit watching after the first couple episodes this season.
Looks like all kinds of sh** is going to hit the fan in the finale!!

A couple weeks ago we learned that Tatiana Maslany was testing for a role in one of the New New Star Wars spin-offs, but THR is reporting that the role has been offered to newly-minted Oscar nominee Felicity Jones. Okay, sure. She's got Oscar polish and everyone wants a piece of her now, and since the Spider-Man franchise—in which she appeared as proto-Black Cat—is in limbo at Sony, it's not a bad move to shore up her burgeoning moment with a new, more functional franchise.

Tornados set to host Blue Ridge Mountain ChallengeMarch 20, 2009
Brevard, Newberry, Catawba and Tusculum set the field in the four team tournament
Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados are hosting a four team tournament on Saturday at the nearby Etowah Valley Country Club. Newberry, Tusculum and Catawba will all join Brevard as they tee up for a round on the course that was selected for the 2009 Food Lion South Atlantic Championships scheduled for April 20-21.
Brevard, coached by David Nelson, has been in action twice so far this spring, finishing seventh in the March 7-8, Tusculum Invitational, and finishing second this past weekend at the Montreat College Spring Invitational with a two-round score of 595, 19-over par.
The Tornados are led this season by junior Grant Carnie who finished tops for Brevard at Tusculum with a 17th place finish and by freshman Joshua Davis who made the all-tournament team at Montreat, finishing third with a two-day total of 145, 1-over.
Bret McGaughey, Thomas Rennie, and Craig Galloway also have contributed this season as McGaughey has a seventh place finish to his name, while Rennie and Galloway rounded out the group, carding scores to keep the team among the leaders.
Catawba has also recorded two top 10 finishes in the spring season, finishing 10th in the Outback Steakhouse Intercollegiate tournament on February 2-3, and sixth in the Chick-Fil-A Intercollegiate this past weekend in Hickory, N.C.
Eric Schmehl leads Coach Sam Gealy's squad, having placed 25th in the Outback tournament with a two day score of 153, and recording all-tournament honors with a third place finish in the Chick-Fil-A tournament.
Newberry, fresh off a #23 ranking in the Golf World/Nike Golf Division II Coaches Poll, opened their season at the Outback tournament as well, down in Panama, Fla. with a fifth place finish. The scarlet and gray took fourth on February 16-17 in the 54-hole Southbridge Pirate Invitational in Savannah, Ga. Newberry also teed off in a 54-hole tournament on March 16-17 down in Lakeland, Fla. taking fifth in the Matlock Collegiate Classic.
Sophomore Daniel Stanley and freshman Matthew Campbell pace the Newberry squad under Coach Brian McCants. Stanley finished second in the Southbridge tournament, shooting a three round total of 214, 2-under, while Campbell recorded a fifth place finish at the Matlock Classic with 212, 4-under in three rounds.
The final member of the four team tournament, Tusculum College, has been in three tournaments this spring, finishing 12th in the Outback Steakhouse tournament, a third place finish in the Tusculum Invitational, and ended the Chick-Fil-A Intercollegiate this past weekend in fourth.
Chase Carroll leads the Pioneer squad under Coach Bob Dibble, finishing fourth in the Outback tournament, carding a two-day total of 144, even par, and ended in a tie for second in the Tusculum Invitational with teammate Lawson George at 140, 2-under par. Glenn Vicary finished fifth this past week in the Chick-Fil-A Intercollegiate with a two-round total of 151.
