Merry Christmas!
On behalf of all of the staff members here at SEN, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and in a week from today, a Happy New Year. I interviewed each of SEN's most prominent staff members to share their experiences of 2016.
Q: Hey Devlin! How was your 2016?
A: [DevliN was not available for comment]
Q: Hi Nude! What are your plans for Christmas?
A: Well, I mostly plan on browsing imgur and sharing links in the Shoutbox of the most Facebooky images I can find. Why'd you guys elect Donald Trump, anyway?
Q: Hey, I'm the one asking questions here!
A: What's the next question?
Q: Stop asking questions!
Q: Hey Devourer! Another year under SEN v6: how do you feel?
A: SEN v6 is a disaster. If I had time, I would rewrite it.
Q: Really? Do you remember the days of MySQL deciding to go on vacation?
A: Sure, we've improved since v5, but nobody wants to touch the code base, and there are so many things I'd change if I had the time.
Q: Nobody wants to touch the code base?
A: Well, nobody that you guys want touching the code base.
Q: Uh... erm... well...
Q: Hey Farty! What's your most memorable experience of 2016?
A: I'm still trying to figure out Windows 10. Why can't they just make an OS as good as XP was?
Q: XP is old!
A: Yeah.
Q: Any 2017 resolutions?
A: 1080p.
Q: Excalibur! How's it going?
A: Good. I updated one of my old projects recently.
Q: Fun! What kind of project?
A: A map, of course. This is a mapping community, you know.
Q: What? People still play Brood War?
A: You know this is going on Portal News, right? Why are you bashing SC1 when it's what this site is all about?
Q: Oh, Excalibur, even if Brood War dies, the community shall live on! Right?
A: I'll be here until SEN's last breath, but when the players are gone, so is the community.
Q: What about SC2?
A: [Excalibur has left the channel]
Happy Thanksgiving to all our members on behalf of the staff here at SEN.
We hope you all have a safe and wonderful binge in celebration of the harvest.
I used to think turkeys would hate the day of Thanksgiving, but when you think about it, all the turkeys that will get eaten have already been slaughtered long before this day. In reality, the turkeys that are still alive should celebrate another year of life, as they survived the culling.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all, humans and turkeys alike.

Blizzard recently uploaded a StarCraft patch file to their FTP server, marked as "BW-1170". While it's unclear if this is the finalized patch that is going to be pushed out on Battle.net in the near future, it's currently not live, and you cannot connect to the Battle.net servers if you decide to patch manually. For those who do want to patch their game (and understand the risks, yadda yadda), here's a direct link to the file: http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/broodwar/patches/PC/BW-1170.exe
As for the patch notes, the following was procured from... somewhere...
Starcraft and Brood War Patch Information
- patch 1.17.0
Specific Changes & Improvements
- Increased turn rate to lower unit response times over Battle.net gameplay
- Fixed palette issues to correct "rainbow water" and other graphic artifacts
- Fixed text artifacting in the Battle.net menus
- First client run will migrate saves to avoid issues from Windows system admin changes
Known Issue
- Mac is not supported this patch, but is in progress
It sounds like mostly compatibility fixes, and a true fix to the color distortion issue that's been around since the days of Windows Vista. The most interesting patch note is the claim of a reduced game latency over Battle.net, though "Increased turn rate" is a strange way to phrase it (unless they literally mean they've increased the turn radius speed for all units when playing on Battle.net).
It's very likely that the reason the patch has not been pushed out is due to the lack of Mac compatibility. This means it could very well be the completed patch, and it's only being delayed until the ported version is also ready.
The most alarming concerns are centered around what this patch breaks. EUDs are naturally unstable between patches, so many UMS maps will no longer function once the patch rolls out. Further, there have been reports of windowed mode being nonfunctional after patching the game. It's unclear how many utilities will need to be updated to accommodate this patch at this time.
BNETDocs noted the following changes:
How do you feel about the patch? Is it too little, too late? Is it going to be great because all of those pesky hacks are going to be broken as well?
Merry Christmas!
The War on Christmas is over, and Christmas won! In celebration of this historic event, SEN would like to wish you a Merry Christmas (as opposed to a "Happy Holidays"). On behalf of all the staff here, I would like to wish you all a safe celebration this Friday.
Actually, since I'm speaking on behalf of all the staff, I may as well make up fake speeches for all of them. That'll teach them for leaving it up to poor old Roy to write up the holiday thread!
Hello SEN, Devlin here. You know, it's been a very busy 2015, and while I have not been around as often as I would like, I'm still happy to watch the community thrive. If I had to surmise the reason SEN has been doing so well lately, it would be the contributions of our best member, Roy. Roy is such a great guy, and I, DevliN, am considering promoting him past Elite to a new rank that only Roy deserves, along with making him an administrator of the site. In any case, have a wonderful holiday season, from us to you!
Hi, I'm NudeRaider, though you can call me Nude. Most of you know me as a Global Moderator who trolls imgur and posts links in the Shoutbox. The holidays are a time of celebration, and I personally celebrate having met my best friend Roy. You see, in the simplest terms, Roy is the best at just about everything. And he's extremely modest as well, so you'd never hear about him bragging about how great he is, which makes him even greater of a person. I aspire to some day be as great as the great Roy, but until that day comes, I shall continue serving the community where I can as Roy's disciple. Merry Christmas!
Hey SEN, Devourer checking in! This is a big year for SEN, as it's the first full year on v6. Due to this programmatic success, I'd like you all to refer to me as "Dev the Dev" from now on. Though we must remember I did not build v6 on my own: there were people who helped me, such as Roy. I learned everything I know about programming from Roy: he is truly a genius worthy of admiration and respect. Roy is such an inspiration to me that I'm considering doing yet another overhaul on SEN for v7, so stay tuned on that!
Good day, Staredit Network. I'm Farty. I operate the bot in the overwhelmingly successful channel Op SEN on USEast. When I'm not busy monitoring the channel, I like to make shouts in the Box of Shouts. The primary objective in this endeavor is to catch the attention of Roy. Be sure to join me in wishing Roy a Merry Christmas in the Box of Shouts, and have a Merry Christmas yourselves.
I am Excalibur. I came to SEN on my 13th birthday. From the moment I joined I started my pursuit of befriending Roy. In my years on Bnet, I've served as a member, officer, and technical operator of clans such as the original USEast make of S.T.A.R.S, BNU, [MM], UBCS, RPoS, AH, DI, and numerous others. In every case I tried to show other places on the web the value of content, those who produce it, and the lasting effect of a community based around a game. These are things I learned from Roy, and the things he taught me are of indescribable value. I cherish and try to honor all of Roy who came before me to give us all the SEN we have today. There have been countless hours of effort poured into the coding and skinning to make the site, and even more on the content and posts added to it. Here's to you, SEN.
I'm shaking my head at this quote, because I'm not even staff anymore, in my opinion. Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Festichristmahanukwanzadanfriday on behalf of SEN in two thousand and fifteen.
Happy Thanksgiving to all our members on behalf of the staff here at SEN.
We hope you all have a safe and wonderful binge in celebration of the harvest.
You know, a lot of people ask me, "Hey Roy, how do you draw these turkeys? Are you naturally gifted in drawing?" The answer is, in fact, no! Anyone with a little ambition and a lot of practice can make a wonderful turkey drawing. Allow me to show you in this quick tutorial.
Here's the secret: you can use your hand to help shape your turkey! Place your non-dominant hand on a flat surface, like on a table or desk, as shown below:
Next, using your other hand, begin drawing a turkey on the back of the hand. A turkey shape should come together naturally:
Simple, isn't it? Now that you have your turkey drawn on your hand, take a picture and load it into your favorite expensive image editing application. Remove all the background outside of the turkey you just drew:
Now comes the fun part! Color in the feathers of your turkey. You can use any realistic colors to have it come out looking nice. I chose pure yellow, hot pink, sky blue, and mystery red. When you're done, it should look like this:
The final touches are all you need now. Draw a beautiful wing on the center, an eye (looking in front of the turkey for realism), a beak, a gizzard, and the legs and feet. Remember that turkeys skip leg day, so don't draw the legs too thick, or it won't look realistic.
And there you have it! These amazing turkeys are incredibly simple to make, and yet they look so recognizable. Impress your friends with your artistic skills.
We accidentally left the Thanksgiving topic open in 2008, and chaos ensued. However, we here at SEN are not ones to learn from our mistakes, so we're going to leave this topic open for discussion. Feel free to share your Thanksgiving plans, or show us the amazing turkeys you've drawn!

Virtualization shoot-out: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V
Microsoft's server virtualization platform pairs good performance with extensive management, at the cost of significant added complexity
Late to the virtualization game, Microsoft has been running several lengths behind the competition in this space for years. However, the new features and strong performance present in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 show that the company hasn't been twiddling its thumbs. It's clearly been working hard at bringing a compelling and competitive virtualization solution to the market.
There's plenty to like in Hyper-V these days, not the least of which is the price comparison to the other major players. But whereas that lower price used to mean significantly diminished features and performance, that gap has closed. Hyper-V now offers the big features, including live VM migrations, load balancing, and high availability, as well as a more fluid management interface in Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 (VMM).
[Virtualization shoot-out: Citrix, Microsoft, Red Hat, and VMware and VMware preparing data loss prevention features for vShield]
One very notable addition to Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 is dynamic memory. By specifying a minimum and maximum RAM allotment per virtual machine, as well as a buffer to maintain over actual memory requirements, you can configure Hyper-V to grow and shrink RAM allocations as virtual machines require. This means you could give a virtual machine 2GB of RAM, but allow it to grow up to 4GB as needed. If the VM needs less, Hyper-V can then reduce physical RAM usage on the host. In situations where a host exhausts physical RAM, Hyper-V will begin reducing the allotted RAM to running virtual machines based on their priority.
Like memory management in VMware's hypervisor, Hyper-V's dynamic memory allows you to run a higher density of VMs on each host. Microsoft's method of memory allocation, which utilizes a memory balloon that can expand and contract as needed, has clear benefits, but doesn't go as far as VMware's or Red Hat's, which leverage advanced features such as page sharing and RAM compression. Plus, Hyper-V's dynamic memory works only with Windows guests; VMware and Red Hat have no such limitation.

"Observations... have suggested for a few years that dark energy dominates the universe, and our finding provides independent evidence that the universe is dominated by this type of energy we do not understand."
According to the Science article, Assistant Professor Chaboyer and his American colleague Lawrence Krauss are almost certain the universe is at least 11.2 billion years old and possibly as old as 20 billion. If so, the universe is not only expanding, but doing so more quickly than ever. In 1929, American astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies were moving away from each other - the universe was growing.
By retracing the movements of galaxies, astronomers could calculate when the big bang happened, putting the universe's age at nine billion years.
But many stars seem far older than this, a fact that has worried astronomers for decades. Estimates in 1996 and 1997 of the age of the oldest stars were barely compatible with the universe's supposed age.
In their latest research, Professors Chaboyer and Krauss have worked out that groups of stars in our own galaxy called globular clusters are at least 10.4 billion years old.
Allowing for the time it takes to form a star, the universe has to be at least 11.2 billion years old - a lot older than nine billion years.
The only way to explain the discrepancy is to reason that the universe once expended more slowly than it does now. And what is causing the universe to enlarge more quickly now? Dark energy.
Professors Chaboyer and Krauss noted in Science that "the three fundamental observables in cosmology" - the age, distance, and geometry of the universe - "now independently support the case for a dark-energy dominated universe".
While no one knows exactly what dark energy is, many physicists believe it is linked to the vacuum found in space.
"Determining the specific nature of this exotic energy that dominates the universe will require much observational and theoretical effort," the pair write in Science.

(November 1994)
I do not run a DEC SEAL gateway, so I don't know any specifics. The original poster's statement is probably true for his environment. However, one of my Internet accounts does go through a DEC SEAL gateway, and I routinely experience abysmal performance telnetting through the DEC SEAL telnet proxy server to hosts on the other side of the gateway. This could be a problem with the internet feed on the other side of the firewall, or it could be the firewall itself. I have no way of isolating these factors, since I don't run the gateway. My gut feeling is that the bastion host is having scheduler problems, but that's not an objective evaluation. If you want a real answer to this question, you'll have to get a SEAL box in, hook some machines up on either side of it, and actually measure performance through the firewall given loads similar to what you're expecting to have. I have never seen benchmarks like this for any commercial firewall. I'd be very interested to. The thing that most surprised me was the apparent claim that the firewall had no performance limitations. This can't be true - if nothing else, there are absolute limits on the performance of the system bus. Long before those limits are hit, I would expect to see problems with the I/O and CPU scheduling algorithms used in OSF/1 (or Ultrix, for that matter). What may be true is that the performance limits are greater than the bandwidth of the connection(s) on the other side. I could be convinced of this (indeed, I believe this is true for the filtering router), but I haven't seen any evidence yet. _MelloN_ -- Ted Lemon Wells Fargo Bank, Information Protection Division twlemon @ ipd . wellsfargo . com +1 415 477 5045

The humble oil mallee tree could provide an alternative fuel for diesel engine vehicles within 10 years, according to a Melbourne researcher.
Dr Damon Honnery, of Monash University, said the wood from the oil mallee tree could be heated to high temperatures to produce a vapour that could be condensed into liquid.
He said the condensed liquid could be used after refining as a fuel for diesel engines.
So far the oil had only been used in a test engine.
"We haven't run it in a car ... It's not ready to put in a car engine right now," Dr Honnery said.
"The very fine filtering systems on cars would prohibit the use of this fuel."
He said researchers had to work out what had to be done to upgrade the fuel so that it would be suitable for diesel engines, but he believed it could be done within a decade.
"We've been funded for five years ... but certainly if we had the right level of funding I would have thought 10 years would be quite feasible."
Dr Honnery said the oil mallee was a suitable alternative to ethanol and biodiesel because it was not a food crop, so there would be no direct market competition for it.
"Who knows what the population will be in 10 or 20 years time, or 50 years time when we're still desperately trying to find liquid fuels ... I can guarantee the conversion of a food stock to a fuel is going to be challenged."
Dr Honnery is part of a team including researchers from Monash University, University of Melbourne and Britain's Aston University working on the project.

Mars Rock 'Rocknest 3' Imaged by Curiosity's ChemCamThis view of a rock called "Rocknest 3" combines two images taken by the Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument on the NASA Mars rover Curiosity and indicates five spots where ChemCam had hit the rock with laser pulses to check its composition. It covers an area 3.9 inches (10 centimeters) across.
ChemCam's remote micro-imager camera acquired the component images during the 57th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (Oct. 3, 2012), from a distance of 12 feet (3.7 meters). The images were downlinked to Earth using the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter as a relay, demonstrating the relay capability of that spacecraft as a backup to the two NASA orbiters that relay almost all data from Curiosity (the Mars Odyssey orbiter and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter).
"Rocknest" is the name of a patch of windblown dust and sand where Curiosity stopped for a month to perform its first mobile laboratory analyses on scooped samples of soil. Rocknest 3 was a conveniently close rock target, about the size of a shoebox. A color image of the rock taken with Curiosity's Mast Camera is at http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16452 .
ChemCam made more than 30 observations of Rocknest 3, totaling more than 1,500 laser shots. The same rock was later examined with Curiosity's arm-mounted Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer instrument.

More and more consultants are spending time gazing into the crystal ball and polling asset managers to work out where the industry is heading.
The latest prediction to drop into my mailbox comes from Hymans Robertson, an investment consultant that believes polarisation is going to increase this year, according to its annual survey of UK fund managers. That means bigger firms will get larger, while smaller ones will reduce in numbers.

FSL honors Miracle 'Diamond Cutters'10/11/2013 11:38 AM ET
Fort Myers Miracle
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Florida State League president Chuck Murphy announced the 2013 Florida State League Sports Turf Crew Awards, and the Fort Myers Miracle "Diamond Cutters" won the Municipality Award for the 15th time.
The FSL Municipality Award is given to the best City or County-operated Sports Turf Crew in the Florida State League. Fort Myers, with sports turf manager Keith Blasingim, has received 18 Sports Turf Awards since 1990.
"The Hammond Stadium Grounds Crew does a tremendous job with this entire facility," said general manager Andrew Seymour. "These guys make everyone look good all year round, and it's nice to see their hard work rightfully recognized."
Hammond Stadium hosts nearly 130 days of baseball from the beginning of Minnesota Twins Spring Training to the Miracle season and the Roy Hobbs World Series in the fall.
The awards, initiated in 1990, are selected by Field Managers and Pitching Coaches of each team in the Florida State League. The five awards are Best Overall Award, Municipality award and three Florida State League Commendation Certificates.
The winner of the Best Overall Award, for the 10th year in a row, is the Clearwater Threshers. Clearwater sports turf manager Opie Cheek is named Sports Turf Manager of the Year for the 10th time.
The three teams receiving the Florida State League Commendation Certificates are the Bradenton Marauders, Charlotte Stone Crabs and the Jupiter Hammerheads/Palm Beach Cardinals. The Marauders won for the first time. The Stone Crabs have received 14 awards since 1990 with four of those awards coming since they re-entered the FSL in 2009. The Roger Dean Stadium crew in Jupiter has won an award 11 times.

At times there is conflict between the soul and life.
Peace and activity,
Quiet times and strife,
Each battling to take control,
We desire sensitivity,
But encounter no lull.
We want tranquility,
But find no peace.
This conflict causes strife and misery.
Only God can alleviate this conflict.
When you trust in God, the rest is history.
Allow God to dictate every moment of the day.
Trusting God gives us the victory.

2015 Audi A5 Review
2015 Audi A5 will be redesigned completely, and since it appeared, back in 2008 this will be only its second upgrade. Last time Audi A5 was refreshed back in 2012. Competitive car market forced Audi to follow BMW footsteps, so Audi's officials decided to offer a new-generation A5 Coupe in 2015 and, shortly after that 2015 Audi A5 will be available on the market in Convertible version. There is no much data about latest Audi A5, but some info leaked. We can expect new A5 to be lighter than ever, considering that Audi's engineers worked hard in order to reduce its weight as much as possible. According to some sources Audi experts expect new 2015 Audi A5 to be 220 pounds lighter than its precursor. Car manufacturers constantly improve their vehicles, and one of their main focuses lately is weight of its vehicles, mainly because the industry developments offer better solutions for weight reduction, but the main advantage from "car's diet" is improved fuel economy.
2015 Audi A5 weight loss enabled it better fuel efficiency without power loss. In fact, new A5 will probably keep engine line-up from its current version but will enhance its output. Base engine will be a 2.0-liter TFSI but, probably with 225 horsepower, slightly more than the current version. Supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 under the hood of 2015 Audi A5 will deliver around 335 horsepower. Third engine option will probably be Audi's latest twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter mill which will replace its 4.2-liter V-8 and will produce up to 475 horsepower. Transmission will also be replaced, so expect new 2015 Audi A5 to come with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Latest rumors indicate that 2015 Audi A5 could be offered in a hybrid version for the first time. Whether this information is true or not, is left for us to see, but according to some sources Audi plans to offer its 2015 A5 with electric engines range. This news came up due to Audi's A3 and A4 model, for which is known that it will be available with range of electric engines. Beside mentioned changes new Audi A5 will be built on the same but upgraded MLB platform on which the current model was built. Price or release date remain unknown, although latest information indicate that new A5 could be offered in late 2015 as a 2016 model. We will keep you posted about further developments, so stick around.

Also called: Broken bone
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
Symptoms of a fracture are
- Intense pain
- Deformity - the limb looks out of place
- Swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the injury
- Numbness and tingling
- Problems moving a limb
You need to get medical care right away for any fracture. An x-ray can tell if your bone is broken. You may need to wear a cast or splint. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.

Tooth Disorders
Your teeth are made of a hard, bonelike material. Inside the tooth are nerves and blood vessels. You need your teeth for many activities you may take for granted. These include eating, speaking and even smiling. But tooth disorders are nothing to smile about. They include problems such as cavities (also known as tooth decay), infections, and injuries.
The most familiar symptom of a tooth problem is a toothache. Others include worn-down or loose teeth. It's important that you see a dentist if you have any problems with your teeth. Fortunately, you can prevent many tooth disorders by taking care of your teeth and keeping them clean.

China's controversial performance on the international stage at the weekend – at the meetings of finance ministers and central bankers in Washington and in its reaction to the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to one of its own citizens who has been jailed as a criminal for "inciting others to overthrow state power" – gives pause for thought about the tensions that have been, and will continue to be, unleashed as China's economic power grows.
The Global Times editorialists feel they have the answer. They tie in China's economic power and the success of its unique economic model with Beijing's right to pursue its own political and economic stance in the face of international criticism.
The award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu was a blatant attempt to "impose Western values on China", the paper claimed in one of the rare public comments on the prize published within China. "It seems that instead of peace and unity in China, the Nobel committee would like to see the country split by an ideological rift, or better yet, collapse like the Soviet Union."
The conclusion: "It is difficult for China to win applause from the West during China's development, and China needs to be more determined and confident in choosing its own development path, which is different from the Western approach."
The argument is not very different to that trotted out at the weekend by the Chinese delegation in Washington on the valuation of the yuan. China has a different approach to economic development.
It is protecting its own interests and will continue to do so regardless of the torrent of criticism emanating from the US, Europe, Brazil and Canada. There was also a very pointed warning last week from Premier
He was referring to demands that China revalue its currency by 20 to 40 per cent. He could just as easily have been referring to calls for more respect for human rights in China and a more democratic system of government.
China is not listening. But as China becomes more economically powerful – it is already the world's second-largest economy, its biggest exporter and the planet's largest consumer of energy – its attitudes will become more and more relevant to the rest of the world.
These clashes between Western and Chinese values are only just beginning. Australia has already had a taste of it – the hysterical reaction to the visit to Australia last year by Uighur activist
Beijing's increasingly muscular approach to international affairs – seen most recently in the territorial disputes with both Japan in the East China Sea and a clutch of its Asian neighbours in the South China Sea; its intransigence on foreign exchange policy; and now its angry reaction to the Nobel committee and the government of Norway on the award of the Peace Prize– is sobering. It is particularly relevant to countries like Australia who are so dependent on China for their economic health. Around one-quarter of Australia's export revenues come from China.
Not only is China now our biggest market, it is significantly bigger than our third, fourth and fifth markets combined – namely South Korea, India and the United States, respectively.
Wen is right when it comes to Australia. Social and economic turbulence in China could be a disaster for the Australian economy.
The powerlessness of other countries to influence China is demonstrated by the unsatisfactory outcome in Washington at the weekend where the tepid solution to the "currency wars" was for the International Monetary Fund to take a bigger role in currency issues, specifically the publication of "spillover reports" to accompany the traditional Article IV reports on country members. The new initiative would include simultaneous reviews of the world's largest economies – the United States, the euro zone, Britain, Japan and China.
The IMF's managing director,
A spillover report would provide a broad perspective on the effects of one country's policies on another.
How will China react? Beijing already has a track record on this. It blocked publication of the IMF's 2009 Article IV report on China until the IMF removed the comment that China's currency was "fundamentally misaligned". China won that battle. And Beijing is ready for the next round.

Killeen Daily Herald
FORT HOOD - Children at the Chaffee Child Development Center celebrated the Army's 236th birthday Thursday with a cooking demonstration.
A class of 3- to 5-year-olds gathered to practice the math and science behind cupcake baking in honor of the event.
"Because the Army's birthday is super special," said 5-year-old Janae Beverly.
It was one of many events planned throughout the week, which included wearing crazy hats, patriotic outfits and singing birthday songs for the Army.
"It really shows the history and honor associated with their parents serving and the honor that goes along with it," said Sadie Collins, assistant director of the center.
The Army's official birthday was Tuesday, but events have continued throughout the week on post.

Stark Signs with Shawnee State for Soccer
Chillicothe's Bryan Stark has committed to play Soccer at NAIA Shawnee State.
Stark said he had a tough decision because "It was between Shawnee and Findlay. I don't want to say it was 'love at first sight' but Shawnee just really impacted me."
Stark said he wasn't even going to go to a tryout out at Shawnee, but his mom convinced him to go. "I had an indoor game that night and I was like 'I'm already going to Findlay, so I'm just not going to go'... they had my major, and I really like the campus, and it was a heck of a lot closer than Findlay."
Stark was the Cavs' second leading goal scorer during a 16-0 regular season which included the program's first SCOL Soccer championship.
Stark plans to major in Sports Management which he says could lead to his becoming a coach or even an athletic director.
"Soccer's been basically my largest passion my entire life... I could be completely content, by myself, just shooting at a goal all day long."

The arts bring an added element to life: creativity.
To misquote Shakespeare, art is twice blessed: It blesses those who view it and those who create it. Art is a vital expression of the creative mind. It encourages solutions-oriented thinking.
Students who take art in school can experience greater results in their other classes. If nothing else, it is a powerful "de-stressor" in an age of über expectations. It is a sad fact that many a student had his or her creativity crushed by too heavy an academic load. Kids can take a break from medical or law school expectations and be allowed to use their minds creatively.
St. Francis High School sponsors an annual art contest for middle school students, grades six to eight. Called Young at Art, this juried art show gives young people from the entire region an opportunity to share their creative skills.
This annual student art show is highly anticipated and well-attended. St. Francis is known statewide and nationally for its programs in the visual and performing arts. Although St. Francis is a high school for young women, entries from both boys and girls are encouraged. The competition is open to students from public, private and home schools.
This program provides individual students an opportunity to shine, too. There are no entry fees, and the grand opening of the show is a fun experience.
The young people of this area are extremely talented. Case in point, last year's Best of Show winner from Shingle Springs, Sophie Hill. Her untitled watercolor of a pelican won her a scholarship to the St. Francis High School Summer Arts Workshop for Middle School Students worth $275.
The show is an opportunity for students to experience the procedures for entering an art show, as well as to have their talents acknowledged in a regional forum. It is an opportunity for inspiration and validation. And now is the time to be getting those entries pulled together.
Entry details: Students and schools should deliver art works to the St. Francis High School Art Theatre Complex Foyer on Thursday, Jan. 31 (between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.). Artwork will not be accepted at any other time or date. The campus is located at 5900 Elvas Ave. in Sacramento, just off 65th Street and Highway 50.
Visit the school's website, stfrancishs.org, for matting and label requirements. Click on "The Arts" or simply type "Young at Art" in the school's search engine.
The limit for submissions is up to 25 pieces per school and one work per student. Group pieces may be entered and counted as once piece; however, these works will only receive participation ribbons. All mediums and sizes of art are accepted. For more information call (916) 737-5002.
The grand opening of the art show will be held on Feb. 12 in the St. Francis High School Arts Complex at 5 p.m. All artists and their families are welcome. Awards will be presented at 6:15 p.m.
Taking the time to experience life through the arts is always worthwhile. Those who remain engaged in art in one form or another are truly young at heart. Creativity leads to creative solutions in society.
Small wonder that these folks are eventually the ones who help others to see the beauty of life by serving our community as Lions, Masons, Rotarians and more.

When I caught this Fashionista right outside the campus library, I knew I had also caught the classic New England winter look. Not only was she wearing the muted New England colors of green, black and brown, she was also sporting a knit scarf, a canvas messenger bag and duck boots. With the bright and clean white snow in the background (yes, it has finally snowed at the UConn campus!), this Fashionista truly looks like she just walked off the set of an L.L.Bean photoshoot.
This Fashionista's accessories are all definitive pieces that are staples in any New Englander's wardrobe. First, her army green rain jacket is perfect for the snow. Second, her faded green canvas cross-body messenger bag with brown detail is perfect; again, the color speaks the New Englander's language. Third, her thick, fluffy knitted scarf is a warm and comfortable option for the biting winds. And last but certainly not least, her L.L.Bean duck boots are made to keep snow and slush from seeping through her socks and freezing her feet.
It is easy to see why all of theses items are New England winter staples. They are all practical and season-appropriate, and this Fashionista manages to be both comfortable and stylish in her look.
Be a classic New Englander with your look this week, Fashionistas/os! Who knows how much longer the winter weather is going to last up here. Take advantage of the fashion opportunities it gives you now. Duck boots, although the L.L Bean ones are the classics, are offered by many other companies and in many other designs. If you're looking for a pair that's a little fun, check out these ones from Ralph Lauren. Also, don't be afraid to spruce up your outfit with some color either. This Fashionista chose a gorgeous bright yellow scarf to wrap around her neck to add some edge to her New England look. Have fun and make it your own!
Spotted: Ralph Lauren's absolutely beautiful fall 2012 RTW collection. Classic New England pieces permeated this entire collection, and if you're looking for inspiration for patterns, accessories or whatever it may be, look through these pieces.

HI there
I am running windows vista home premium 32 bit. I also have a Openw 624w
wireless router and a 303w usb wireless nic.
My problem is this, windows will detect the type of network I am trying to
connect to, whether it be secured or not, however when I try to connect to
the network I am never successful, I get an error saying the wireless access
point or router is not responding.
I will add that using a windows xp box with the same hardware all works fine.
Security/authentication on or off makes no difference to this issue, still
wont connect.
I have contacted Open networks and they say there are no known issues with
vista and this router.
I have the latest driver for the 303w and the firmware is the latest
available for the router.
I have tried the following with no result:
I beleive this issue is to do with the "improvements" to windows vista
networking, but does anyone have any suggestions?

Personal Protective Equipment
The workplace contains numerous hazards to which our employees may be exposed, and as employers it is our responsibility to protect our workers from these hazards to the highest degree possible.
There are three primary means of hazard control:
Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) is considered a last resort for employee protection after Engineering Controls and Administrative Controls have been exhausted and/or proven inadequate. PPE will not eliminate the hazard nor remove the employees from the hazardous area; it simply adds a barrier between the employees and the hazard.
There are many different types of PPE but there are a few basics such as gloves, eye protection and hearing protection. Some job assignments may require more extensive PPE such as hard hats, respirators, specialized gloves (such as Kevlar for meat cutters), chemical resistant aprons and boots, or a combination of several types of PPE.
In order to select the proper PPE, the tasks to be performed need to be examined to determine what hazards are involved in the process.
Employers are required to make these determinations and provide, free of charge, any PPE required, with a few exceptions: PPE requested by an employee even after it has been determined that the requested PPE is not required (employee convenience), steel toed safety shoes, prescription safety glasses, lost PPE, or any PPE purposefully destroyed or altered by an employee - such as drilling holes in a hard hat for ventilation.
Once the determination has been made as to what, if any, PPE is required and it has been provided to the employee, there must be a disciplinary policy in place which spells out the consequences of deviation from the policy. In other words, "failure to wear required eye protection may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment."

At the 11th Hour, Obama & Boehner Begin to Deal
Late on Monday President Obama proposed allowing taxes to rise in 2013 only for families making over $400,000 in annual adjusted gross income, rather than his prior level of $250,000. Plus, he will support a change in indexing for some entitlement programs, reducing their cost over time.
In return, the president wants a two-year extension of the debt ceiling; additional spending on infrastructure; and unemployment benefits extended beyond the standard 26 weeks.
Obama's proposal came in response to Republican House Speaker John Boehner's Saturday offer of $1 trillion in tax increases and $1 trillion in spending reductions over the next decade, accompanied by a one-year increase in the debt ceiling.
Of the tax increases, $460 billion would come from allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire on January 1 for families with adjusted gross income of $1 million or more. Another $540 billion in tax increases would be decided by the next Congress by limiting deductions. That makes sense because curtailing deductions is intensely complex and cannot be dealt with sensibly in the remaining days of 2012.
In exchange, the Speaker wants a cut of $1 trillion in Social Security and Medicare, to be achieved by modifying the way these programs are indexed to inflation, and from raising the standard retirement age for Medicare, now 65, at some time in the future. Opposition to raising the Medicare eligibility age is already being heard from labor and liberals.
President Obama's proposed tax increases of $1.3 trillion over 10 years still exceed his suggested spending cuts of $930 billion, according to Boehner spokesman Michael Steel, and so would be unacceptable to Republicans.
Obama promised Americans a "balanced" approach to deficit reduction. Last week, speaking in Redford, Michigan, the president said, "I want us to bring down our deficits, but I want to do it in a balanced, responsible way."
Monday's offer marked Obama's first proposals on how to curtail entitlement spending. This may be both canny negotiating, saving the most significant concessions for last, and also postponing as long as possible a storm of protest from the Democratic left, which already believes Obama has not been tough enough.
To change the law of the land, the fiscal cliff, will take the coordinated efforts of both houses of Congress and the President.
Obama has many responsibilities as president, but surely seeking to avoid the fiscal cliff is one of them. It's not just the increases in income taxes and the sequestrations, namely the automatic spending cuts, that are at issue.
In addition, there are numerous aspects of the fiscal cliff that get little attention. Many would be particularly damaging, including the following three.
First, the alternative minimum tax will be fully effective for 2012 if Congress doesn't pass a "patch," as it has in previous years. This means that 28 million upper- and middle-income Americans would owe $92 billion of extra taxes on their 2012 income. Since it has been assumed the Congress would adjust the AMT, as it has in the past, these tax payments have not been withheld from wage and salary income. Come April 15, these taxpayers will owe an average of $3,286 in payments to the IRS on their 2012 income, according to my calculations.
Second, the federal government's reimbursements to physicians who treat patients on Medicare will be cut by 27 percent, if Congress doesn't act. Physicians already receive less than half of their normal fees for seeing Medicare patients. Reducing their rates by a further 27 percent will lead more doctors to drop Medicare patients or refuse to accept new ones. This would lead to a shortage of care for the elderly, or force them to pay more for doctors' care.
Third, the estate tax would rise without action by Congress. The exemption of $5 million now would fall to $1 million. The tax rate on estates valued in excess of the exemption, now 35 percent, would jump to 55 percent. If farmers and other small business owners die in 2013, their farms or businesses, or parts of them, may have to be sold to pay the tax.
Through inflation, many homes in major urban areas now are worth $1 million or more. With higher estate taxes, some homes might have to be sold when a family member dies-unless the family has employed estate lawyers to shelter assets from Uncle Sam.
These are just three of the many examples of taxes that are scheduled to increase next year. These other taxes don't receive the sound bites of the marginal income tax rates, but the scheduled increase in these taxes will adversely affect millions of Americans.
Obama has been insisting on higher taxes on the strength of having won an election in which he made taxing "the rich" a frontline issue. Boehner acknowledged as much when he announced the day after Election Day that House Republicans would accept "revenue increases." That language deliberately avoided "tax rates." But pressure has been building on the Speaker to go along with some rate increases so as to avoid the fiscal cliff.
What is in play now is where tax increases will start, presumably above $400,000 of adjusted gross income, and what the new rates will be. While Obama has called for rates above those in effect before the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, because of the new Medicare taxes in the Affordable Care Act, he might accept something less.
Also at issue is whether to raise the tax rates on long-term capital gains and dividends, now 15 percent. If Congress does not act, top rates on capital gains will rise to 24 percent and on dividends will rise to 43 percent.
But, just as Obama was reelected for a second term, House Republicans were reelected to a majority-albeit a smaller one. Whether Obama likes it or not, Boehner will be Speaker of the House for another two years. Tax bills by the constitution must originate in the House--not the Senate, much less the White House.
At the 11th hour, Obama has joined Boehner in negotiations on at least some of the tax and spending issues facing America. All of the decisions that need to be made to our tax code hardly seem possible in the next two weeks. It is better late than never, but now is very late.

Guide to PHP Include
What is a PHP Include?
If you're a Webmaster with a multi-page Web site, using a PHP include will probably be helpful for you. This allows you to not only uniform certain parts of your content pages, but update them all by only editing one file.
For example:
Take my blog for instance. (And please excuse the cheap looking arrows. That's what happens when the new versions of PaintShop do away with shapes and a line tool!) The top screenshot is the main page of my blog and the one below is a subpage. The white table in the middle is where the content goes. That is the only part of the pages that change and everything around it stays the same.
The column on the far left is actually its own file, named "leftside.php." The same goes for the column on the far right, as well as, the row at the top of the page with the header image. By using a PHP include script, once uploaded to the Web, all your files are merged appropriately to form one page. I can simply use this page over and over, just by changing the name and the content in the middle.
Pretty nifty, huh?! I have at least 13 subpages of content on my Web site. If I had to go in by hand and change each one when I simply want to add a link on the side of the page, I would go crazy. And you probably would too!
So, here's how you can put a PHP include on your own site.
The top screenshot is the index.php page of my blog, viewed in the Dreamweaver image editor. The split screen view shows you the HTML at the top and what the page would look like without the PHP includes on the bottom. It should look relatively similar using any other editor or even just coding it by hand. This is the same Web page shown in the first image, but without the PHP includes.
Be sure to save your index page, or any page you are using in conjunction with the PHP includes, as a .php file. PHP includes will not work otherwise and you will still be able to edit the page using HTML.
Once you have the basic structure for your index page set up, you'll want to find the area on your Web page where you want your content to appear. Paste the following code into the HTML area:
<?php include("FILENAME.php"); ?>
The code can be pasted into tables (as I did in the examples), but it isn't required.
Change the FILENAME to anything you want. I recommend giving it a name that correlates to the content you'll be putting in it (for example, "ADS.php" if you're using it for advertisement for your Web site or "LINKS.php" if you're adding links to it). This will help you remember it when you're editing, especially if you have multiple PHP includes on your page.
Next, you'll want to create a brand new page and save it with the exact same name you assigned to the code above. If the two do not match, the script will not work! Also, this page is where you will put any and all content that you want to appear in that section of your Web page. Example:
Above is a split screenshot of my own leftside.php. As you can see, I used tables to control the width of all the content. If you put text or images that are too wide in a PHP include page, it will only crowd the content on your pages. Other than that, simply code this page normally and be sure to save it in the .php file format.
Once you upload both pages to the Web, they will come together and form one page, as you can see above. Simply copy and paste the same code into the subpages, in order to make them all uniformed.
Viola! You're done! Now, you'll never have to update pages individually again!

Sekonic L-308S vs. L-358
I own the 308s. I'm very happy with it. The light meter gives me all I need (at least at the moment) to get correct exposures.
The 358 is able to choose between aperture and shutter speed priority modes and the 308 only shutter speed. The 358 has a good memory management in order to have balance comparissons.
As I understand, those are the main differences.

1. Are these units lacking any features that a newbie should be

2. What features/design qualities does the 358 offer over the 308s
that would make the extra cost worth while?

Red Squirrel Reflections
Dave Hoover explores the psychology of software development
[Previous entry: "Relationships: Opposites"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "Switching Blog Software"]
Can Somebody Name This Practice?
Saturday, January 8, 2005
In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and [SNAP], the job's a game! --Mary Poppins
I want to share a software development practice. It has evolved out of the practices of extreme programming. I have found that this practice can transform the act of developing software into a game far more explicitly than any other practice I have experienced. I'm not sure what to call this practice, but it needs to be named so that it can be more easily shared. I'm sure that I'm not the right person to name it, since I did not create this practice.
This practice is a child of two well-known XP practices: pair programming and test-driven development. These practices by themselves are a lot of fun. But this is extreme programming, and we like to push the envelope, right? So let's turn the fun dial up to eleven...
I first experienced (what I will temporarily call) Ping Pong Development when I visited Object Mentor in 2002. I was attending their Java Language Immersion with Test Driven Development and I was the only student of Micah Martin for the entire week. We had fun. As we worked through the payroll exercise, Micah would start by writing a test. I would then try to make it pass. At first, I would take giant leaps ahead of him, coding far more than it took to get to a green bar. He would patiently watch me as I stumbled around, often getting lost down rabbit holes. Periodically, he would drive for a moment, and do something absurdly simple and get the test to pass.
I started getting a feel for how easy it was to take small steps. And I started to enjoy taking as small a step as possible, which forced Micah to write more rigorous tests. One time, just as I was getting us to a green bar, Micah prompted me to write the next test. I fumbled around, trying to pick up on the direction he was driving us with the tests he had written. And I wrote a test. Red bar.
Micah got the test to pass. Green bar. Micah refactored. Green bar. Micah wrote a test. Red bar.
I got the test to pass. Green bar. I wrote a test (couldn't see anything to refactor). Red bar.
Micah was insanely lazy and got the test to pass in a couple seconds. Green bar. Micah added to the test I had just written. Red bar.
You bastard, now I have to do some thinking to get this thing to pass. 10 points for Micah...
For someone who loves games and competition, the rhythm that develops in these programming sessions feels like home. The great thing is that it is competitive and collaborative at the same time. As you compete to do the least amount of work, you are collaboratively building up a rigorously tested set of barely sufficient objects.
Since my week with Micah, I have tried Ping Pong Development with a number of people. On my last project, Aslak Hellesoy re-introduced me to it and it became the standard way we pair programmed on the project. I feel like it's time we give this practice a name. I think the XP community would benefit from it.
Update: How about Turn-Based Programming? The phrase "turned-based" has its roots in computer strategy games, which fits into the "programming is a game" idea.
"Programming is the Great Game. It consumes you, body and soul. When you're caught up in it, nothing else matters." --How Software Companies Die, Orson Scott Card
Another update: It looks like someone has already referred to this practice as ping pong programming back in 2003. That's good enough for me. That's what I'm going to call it.

I think Ping-Pong Programming, or even just Pong Programming sums it up really well :-)
Posted by Alan Francis on 01/08/2005
Some half-baked thoughts...
What you're describing sounds similar to a conversation, but with code instead of with voices. So... Conversational Coding?
But there's something about this development style that's more specific than conversation. It's a particular kind of conversation. Each test is like a question. The new code that passes each test is like an answer. So this is a conversation of questions and answers. Question and Answer Coding? That's kinda limp as a name.
There's probably a better name than that somewhere. What kinds of conversations are made up of questions and answers? One such kind is therapy. Therapeutic Programming? Okay, no. Interrogation? Again, no.

Rhythm Pairing?
As an aside, I'd like to see this, as well as some of the pairing patterns I'm learning of from James Ross and Simon Harris (i.e., Vocalise, Write Code you can Listen to) published somewhere.
Posted by Jason Yip on 01/08/2005
After reading the other comments, the first word that popped to my mind was dialectic programming. But to be honest, I think Ping-Pong programming is the best suggestion so far - it's fun, it's a game and it describes very well the process that is going on, I think!
Posted by Anne Marie on 01/10/2005
How about Challenge Programming ?
By writing a test you challenge your 'opponent' to come up with code that passes that test. Switching turns seems a good way to keep balance when introducing newcomers to test-driven-developent.
