Home > Entertainment > Oscars 2004 > Article
The stunning Golden Globes success of the last film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy has put it on course for Oscars glory, experts said, just a day ahead of tomorrow's Academy Awards nominations.
The fantasy spectacular Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King dominated yesterday's Globes, Hollywood's second-biggest prize after the Oscars, cashing in all four of its nominations including that of best dramatic picture.
Now the hobbits and ringwraiths of Middle Earth look set to repeat their stellar performance in race for the greatest cinematic honour, nods for which were due to be unveiled in Beverly Hills before dawn tomorrow.
"The Golden Globes has certainly given the Lord of the Rings the forward thrust it needs to look like a winner at the Oscars," Hollywood awards expert and writer Tom O'Neil said.
"Rings is the closest thing to an Oscars slam-dunk and shoo-in that we have seen since Titanic and Schindler's List, he said, referring to the coveted best picture Oscar.
Film star Sigourney Weaver and Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
president Frank Pierson will announce the nominations for the 76th annual Oscars
around 5:30 am (0030 AEDT Wednesday) tomorrow.
While the 5,800 Academy voters had already cast their ballots for the nominations well before the Golden Globes awards, the big Globes winners are very likely to sway them when they cast their final voters for the Academy Awards, which will be handed out in Hollywood on February 29, experts said.
"The Globes will have more impact than they usually do this year because they come just a month ahead of the Oscars after the awards season was curtailed by an earlier Oscars ceremony," O'Neil said.
"And it's significant that Rings didn't lose a single one of its nominations, it was four out of four, while in the previous two years the Rings films got a lot of nominations but have never won all of them."
Other movie pundits agreed, saying there was clear feeling in Hollywood that it was time to reward Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson and his groundbreaking trilogy of films with the major Oscars that have so far eluded them.
"The message sent by the Golden Globes voters was that it's now Lord of the Rings' time," said Dade Hayes, movie writer for Hollywood bible Daily Variety.
"It has been with us in our culture for three years and has performed so spectacularly that it deserves notice finally."
The movie trilogy made film history when New Zealander Jackson persuaded New Line Cinema to make an enormous gamble and allow him to shoot all three movies simultaneously with a record-breaking budget of nearly $US300 million ($A391 million).
The gamble, that could have sunk the studio had the first in the series flopped at the box office, paid off spectacularly, both in terms of box office returns and critical acclaim.
Now Hollywood looks ready to recognise Jackson's achievement, Hayes said.
"The scope of the project was amazing logistically, and it will go down in history as a legendary movie in the vein of Lawrence of Arabia and will stay up there in the pantheon of great movies," he said.
The movie's Globes wins are likely to give it enough momentum to outpace the competition, including Anthony Minghella's civil war tale Cold Mountain, Sofia Coppola's comedy Lost in Translation, adventure flick Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, another action movie The Last Samurai and Big Fish, pundits predicted.
While O'Neil and Hayes speculated that Rings would garner more Oscar nominations than any other film, they said Cold Mountain would also perform impressively.
The winners of the main acting categories at yesterday's Globes were also now well placed to go onto winning Oscars, the experts said.
They include Charlize Theron, who won the best dramatic actress Globe for her turn as a prostitute serial killer in Monster, Sean Penn took best dramatic actor for Mystic River, Renee Zellweger, who won best supporting actress as a tough mountain woman in Cold Mountain, and Tim Robbins, who won the Globe for best supporting actor in a drama.
Over the past 60 years, Oscar voters have picked 44 of the Globes' best picture winners for its top film award, and chosen 75 per cent of Globe best actor and actress winners for the top acting Oscars.
Some 400 journalists from around the word are expected to attend the brief nominations announcement in which contenders in 24 categories will be unveiled, signalling the launch of this year's big battle of the studios for kudos.

Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:47:43 -0500
From: Tom Glendinning
Subject: Crepe Myrtle & Tree Pruning
The practice of deep, structural pruning may be confused with "topping." In the case of the Pittsboro hollies, the pruning was done to achieve shape and size proper to the location and purpose of the trees. These plants are not standing alone in a field or in a forest. They were well pruned and recovered beautifully. Somehow, they know what to do on their own.
The practice of "pollarding" may look like topping, but is not the same. It respects the structure and shape of the tree while reducing its size to the location demands. This level of pruning is required every so often with street trees and in urban sites. Pollarding has been used to manage landscape plants in Europe for centuries. The Plane Tree (Sycamore) is planted for this purpose, among other genus.
As with many things in our current society, objects are too often the recipients of transference or personalization. If we were to deny landscape use of plants, we would have to visit them in their natural environment. There would be no landscaped yards, cities and parks. And there would be no use for landscapers, landscape architects, arborists, urban foresters, garden centers, or nurseries.
Proper pruning has many interpretations. The main one is to respect the function while not endangering the health or survival of the tree/plant. If the tree is harmed by pruning or maintenance, it was the wrong one for that location and should not have been planted. We do, however, like to see trees and shrubs in our urbanized lifestyle. So we are obliged to maintain them as best we can. Sometimes the measures are drastic.
PS: Crepe Mrytles are an African plant and can survive an awful lot of stress. They do bloom more abundantly after pruning. That bloom is a survival response to the stress of pruning.

NEW YORK — Jonathan Quick and the Los Angeles Kings are close to finishing off the New York Rangers in a big hurry.
The All-Star goalie had his best game of the finals by far, making 32 saves to put the Kings on the cusp of another coronation with a 3-0 victory over New York in Game 3 on Monday night.
Los Angeles escaped with two overtime wins at home and then took complete command inside Madison Square Garden to take a 3-0 series edge. The Kings are a win away from winning their second Stanley Cup in three years.
The Kings took their first lead of the series on Jeff Carter's goal in the final second of the first period and then stretched the edge to three goals in the second — something the Rangers failed to do in California.
New York will face elimination at home Wednesday night in Game 4.
"We got to make sure that's our best game, the fourth one is always the toughest to win," Quick said.
While there has been only one comeback from a 3-0 hole in the finals, the Kings erased such a deficit in the first round against San Jose.
Defenseman Jake Muzzin scored a power-play goal in the second period, and Mike Richards pushed the lead to three with a goal off a 2-on-1 in the middle frame.
Henrik Lundqvist was hardly at fault on the goals, and finished with 12 saves.
But Quick was perfect.
The Connecticut native, who grew up a fan of the Rangers and 1994 Stanley Cup-winning goalie Mike Richter, made a brilliant save with his stick blade to deny Derick Brassard with 8:40 left in the second shortly after a Rangers power play. That stop came on the heels of Brassard having two chances during the advantage off a rebound of Brad Richards' shot. Brassard's first attempt was blocked, and the second was stopped by Quick.
The Kings goalie was also on his toes just 8 seconds into the third period when Chris Kreider came in alone but was stopped in tight.
That eliminated the little hope the sold-out, towel-waving crowd had of a big comeback.
"You make one save, and you're trying to make the next one and go from there," Quick said. "They got a great team so you're not trying to take anything for granted while it's going on. You're just trying to make one save at a time. The team played great in front of me, cleared out a lot of rebounds that I left in front."

Fiesta Tuesday: Bowl Day 5
"He is such an asset to our offense," said Klein. "Every day he demonstrates that ability to sacrifice and make blocks for others. He just makes huge holes."
And, coach Bill Snyder marvels of his four-year starting fullback, "I just love the way he practices and works. He knows just one speed."
When Wilson lines up against Oregon Thursday in the 7:30 p.m. (central time) kickoff, it will mark his 51st and final Wildcat game.
"That hasn't hit me yet," said Wilson.
But what has hit him is that he knows he's lived a four-year dream.
"I grew up such a K-State fan and had the hometown hero as my favorite player," Wilson said of Mark Simoneau, another graduate of the stellar Smith Center Redmen program. "This really is living a dream. I started as a freshman when this wasn't that much of a fun place to be (6-6 and 7-6 his first two years, to experiencing this high of the last two years (10-3 and 11-1)."
At 6-3 ½ , 255 pounds and with 4.81 40-speed, Wilson, who has also shown the ability to play defensive end for the Wildcats in 2010 and 2011, says, "I hear that I might get a chance at the next level. I sure hope so."
Co-Offensive Coordinator Dana Dimel says of Wilson's NFL chances, "I think he can be the first fullback taken in the NFL Draft. Now, how high will a fullback be taken? I don't know about that. But I do know that he can block, he can run and he catches it well. Everyone is using two backs in the NFL, so there's a big place for him."
SNYDER NO. 1 COACH: For the fifth time in his career, Kansas State's Bill Snyder has been named national coach of the year as the legendary head coach has earned the prestigious 2012 Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award.
The annual Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year presented by the Chick-fil-A Bowl winner is determined by a vote from all previous winners of the award, plus a vote from a blue-ribbon panel made up from the "who's who" in college football.
"The entire K-State family congratulates Coach Snyder on being named the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year," said Athletics Director John Currie. "What makes this award even more special is its focus on character and academic excellence, in addition to a team's success on the field, and Coach Snyder is the epitome of those values."
PSYCHOLOGY 101: No one is better than coaches in the use of psychology to motivate a player.
Run game coordinator Dana Dimel told the story of getting to tight end Travis Tannahill during the Oklahoma State game.
"Travis is a super intellectual, as well as being a great player," Dimel said. "He was struggling a bit in the Oklahoma State game, so I just said, 'The problem is that the defensive end is just smarter than you are.' I knew that was the way to get right at him. (Laughing) That hurt him worse than anything else I could tell him."
A BLIZZARD ... IN ARIZONA? Don't tell K-State's Pat Bosco that it can't happen. Several car loads of K-Staters went to the Grand Canyon in the northern part of the state over the weekend with Bosco and his wife being stranded in Flagstaff for the night due to the Interstate being closed because of a blizzard.
ARIZONA-BASED BOWL GAMES have seen the Wildcats go 2-2. The wins came in the 1993 Copper Bowl over Wyoming and the 1997 Fiesta Bowl over Syracuse. The losses came in the 2001 Insight.com Bowl to Syracuse, and the 2004 Fiesta Bowl to Ohio State.
FIESTA BOWL TROPHY: Designing the trophy was Molina Fine Jeweler. There is a compass on the base and then figures of players holding up the trophy.
The curtain above the players is inscribed with the ancient Greek word "NIKE," the Goddess of Victory. The lotus flower-designed dome identifies the purity of strength, power and heart of the victors.
The football that tops the trophy is 18-karat gold with the enameled Fiesta Bowl logo and 38.6 karats of diamonds encrusting the football.
The piece stands 46 inches tall and weighs approximately 200 pounds.
IN THE FIESTA RECORD BOOK: Darnell McDonald still holds the most receiving yards in Fiesta Bowl history with 206 and the most TDs with three. Ell Roberson ranks second in passing attempts for a single game with 51.
UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX STADIUM: will be the site for the 7:30 p.m. (central time) game, which is located in Glendale.
It's a natural grass facility with the Tiffany 419 Bermuda hybrid measuring six-tenths of an inch tall making for a very fast surface. The playing surface is on a 12-million pound tray that can be rolled outdoors in the sunlight when not in use.
There will be one million watts of lighting in the stadium that measures 233 feet from the playing field to the top of the roof, or around 19 stories high.
The stadium has 63,000 permanent seats, but for the Fiesta Bowl will seat 73,000. The 2011 BCS National Championship game attracted 78,603 fans, which was the largest crowd in stadium history.
The stadium is the home of the NFL Arizona Cardinals.
NICE WEATHER GUARANTEED: The last eight Fiesta Bowls have been played with the roof closed and a stadium temperature of between 62- and 71-degrees.
ON TAP WEDNESDAY: With Purple having invaded the Scottsdale community, the players have a 10 a.m. wake up Wednesday, followed by a team lunch and then a walk-around at the stadium.
Chase Field, home of the baseball Arizona Diamondbacks, then takes center stage for the K-State pep rally at 2 p.m.
Position meetings will then take up much of the rest of the afternoon, followed by a team dinner and movie before lights out at 11 p.m.

Welcome to the Official Website of the Asian Institute for Liturgy and Music and Sambalikhaan Foundation
The Asian Institute for Liturgy and Music, established in the campus of
the Episcopal Church in the Philippines in 1980, stands as the foremost
training center in Asia for people intending to dedicate their time in the
ministry of music and liturgy in the church. Following the movement for
contextualization of worship in Asian churches, AILM pioneered in training
church musicians for their roles as worship leaders through intensive
residential programs designed to equip the students with skills essential
to their future work. The training programs cover varied but related areas
of concentration, focusing primarily on choir music and conducting. Contextualization is
addressed by courses that emphasize the creative work – music and text writing – pursuing
the vision articulated by its founder, Francisco Feliciano, that in order to achieve the goals
of contextualization, new works reflecting the spirit and identity of the local churches must
be born and re-born.
The AILM Training Program has evolved over the last two decades, going through
continuing changes and refinement as it responds to the changes within the society, the
churches and the world. Today it offers several programs from the basic training for worship
associates to the master programs in liturgy and music. It cooperates with theologians,
educators, and musicians in crafting curricula that anticipates the needs of a worshipping
community in music, liturgy, and of late, the arts.
The hallmark of AILM is creativity – in approaches to music for congregation, creating new
songs, writing new texts for prayers, the role of arts in a worshipping community. It has
produced in the last 25 years hundreds of men and women who have taken their places in
their respective churches as music leaders, teachers, composers, carrying on the mission
of AILM in their own countries. More importantly, it has produced a huge body of new songs
that represent the music of the local communities to which the churches belong. These are
now sung worldwide. The AILM is the creative link, the channel through which the rest of
the world can hear the songs of Asian churches.
AILM, as it begins the second cycle in its creative and education mission, offers these
trainings with renewed vigor as it challenges its students to re-discover their roots and the
seeds of faith that were planted in Asian soil.

In the shadow of a looming global environmental catastrophe humanity is at an unprecedented crossroad where crucial and difficult decisions must be made about how we are to live. This book questions where the desire for certainty and mastery is taking us and argues that reliance on technology and information alone cannot avoid an ecological catastrophe. It attends to an existential poverty of spirit that, it suggests, is at the root of contemporary problems. It tackles the association between a metaphysical void, with its growing sense of meaninglessness, and the ecological predicament.
While many find the consolations of traditional religion increasingly untenable, a hunger for a spiritual dimension in life persists. In a rare excursion, yet one which continues the uniquely human search for a transcendent ground of being, the book explores an unfamiliar kind of thinking which shelters and liberates the poetic imagination that counters the modern malaise. In a scholarly yet accessible account van Leeuwen uncovers from Martin Heidegger's middle/late philosophy an extraordinary pathway of transformative thinking where this imagination is nurtured.
|Martin Heidegger, Philosophy of nature, Human ecology, Environmental ethics
Book: Print (Paperback). Book: Electronic (PDF File; 1.894MB). Published by New Directions in the Humanities, a book imprint by Common Ground Publishing, Illinois.
"In a time when scientists are constantly warning of environmental disasters, it is inspiring to read a book that engages with the troubles of our times in a spiritually uplifting and poetically inspiring fashion. One cannot read this book and fail to be moved. It will take you into the depths of philosophical reflection and on to the heights of active commitment."
- Stan van Hooft, Associate Professor, Deakin University, Melbourne
author of Life, Death, and Subjectivity
"…an enthralling exercise… it provokes readers to question… To read this book is rather like taking a walk in the countryside after weeks spent on an autobahn. At this moment in history, when humanity finds itself at a crossroad, Only a god can save us looks at a place between paths and considers the role of humility and clarity; it provides urgently needed re-cognition of how this might be a way back to ourselves".
- Clare Allan-Kamil, author, playwright, editor, reviewer

There are a number of reasons.. flexibility, speed (I believe that SPFs would be slightly faster than AGs when doing as much work, I might be wrong,) and the fact the SPFs can do more. I'll update my rant soon, and qualify that last point. But, now you've agreed with the short point I was trying to make (that SPFs can do the same thing as AGs if programmed to do so) and I've started into the "Why I think SPFs are cool" discussion, so I'll drop it.

In applying human factors research to new technologies in the vehicle, "we look at things from the user perspective, the human perspective," said Brian Lathrop, Head of HMI, Cognitive Psychologist, Electronics Research Lab. "In designing any type of product for the vehicle, whether it's applications on your instrument cluster, whether it's touch-screen applications or a multi-media interface, that's what we focus on…Our job is to understand how people use technology. We want to make sure we use it the best way, the safest way." Thinking of how his mom or dad would drive today's vehicles: "It's important to understand how aging plays into using these technologies…You want them to drive the car in a safe manner. That's important for me to figure that out."

I like this book, but it really needed to be in color, especially considering all the points that were made about color.
I can't find the downloadable chapter :o(
The book originally was planned in color, but budget cuts and the depressed internet book market forced the publisher to change course. They felt a lower price was more important than color (they do know the market pretty well).
Matt, go to the book's home page and look to the right… it's right there in PDF format.
The "official" downloadable chapter link is broken. Here's an alternate download link, found through Google.
Richard. I just checked the official link. works fine for me.
correction, it worked a second ago, but not right now.

For years, the primary critique of Wikipedia was that it was subject to the whims and obsessions of its users. The robustness of the end product has been the best argument against that concern; a study (a few years ago) found that its articles were are accurate as Britannica's. (Kids, ask your parents about Britannica.)
Sometimes, though, a rogue idiot can still hold sway over the truth.

Gothenburg, Sweden (SPX) Nov 16, 2012
Limiting the quantity of catalysts - substances that trigger a chemical reaction - used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals is important, and research from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, has now demonstrated that small quantities of copper work well in this respect. "This is an important finding, not just academically but also for industry," says chemist Per-Fredrik Larsson.
Catalysis is an incredibly valuable tool in the field of chemistry, with the Haber-Bosch process being one of the most important catalytic processes in the world. It is used to manufacture fertilizer, and calculations show that without it the world's population would be just half of what it is today.
Precious metals are often used as catalysts in organic chemistry as they enable the production of many organic molecules with applications in areas such as pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. As recently as 2010 Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on palladium catalysis.
"A problem with precious metals like palladium is that they are both expensive and harmful to the environment," says Per-Fredrik Larsson at the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology.
Recent years have seen researchers evaluating several different non-precious metals - primarily iron and copper - as cheap and environmentally friendly alternatives to precious metals.
"Iron catalysts have proven to be a competitive alternative to precious metals for a number of reactions," says Per-Fredrik Larsson.
"An in-depth understanding of how these reactions work is incredibly important if we are to take this further. The results from our studies with iron led to several important insights into just how complex the chemistry can be."
Larsson's research group works not only with experimental methods but also with calculation models to understand how the chemistry works.
The trend for swapping precious metals for non-precious alternatives also has a flipside. It was discovered during experiments with iron catalysis in conjunction with professor Carsten Bolm of RWTH Aachen University in Germany that some reactions thought to be catalysed by iron had actually been catalysed by traces of copper in the commercially available iron source.
The fact that traces of copper could catalyse a number of different reactions was surprising as copper had previously been thought to be an ineffective catalyst requiring large quantities and high reaction temperatures.
"Our results show that copper has been given an undeservedly bad name as a catalyst," says Per-Fredrik Larsson. "Given that copper chemistry is over a century old, it's surprising that nobody's realised this before."
It is important in the pharmaceutical industry to limit the use of catalysts as the quantity of metal in the end-product is strictly regulated and the recovery process can be both difficult and expensive. As such, the finding that small quantities of copper can be used is an important discovery.
"We've developed and studied reactions with small quantities of copper and tried to understand how and why they work," says Per-Fredrik Larsson.
The results and conclusions for iron and copper catalysts are a major contribution to this field of research and are important for its continued development.

text: The Sandy victims have formed a community here, waving to one another as they walk through the lobby to their rooms, sneaking out for cigarettes together and offering rides to people who need them. On a recent afternoon, a white box filled with cookies and cannoli was passed around for someone's birthday.Burstein, 69, who is on disability, and her 37-year-old daughter â¿¿ who doesn't work because her 3-year-old disabled son recently had surgery â¿¿ have been living here since early December. Like many other storm victims, they can't find an affordable rental. Even if they did find one, they barely have enough money for a security deposit. On Saturday, they will file down to the lobby along with the other Sandy refugees to learn their fate, as they do every two weeks. Burstein and Ruggiero said hotel staff will read the names of people whose assistance was extended for another two weeks. In the past, some people have been left off the list. "Can't you let the people know ahead of time so they don't go crazy worrying?" she asked. People like 68-year-old Janice Yunginger, of Point Pleasant, N.J., are stranded because they're waiting to hear back from their insurance companies. Yunginger's home was destroyed, and she is still awaiting a final flood insurance estimate. Her hotel assistance ran out Jan. 12. She and her 26-year-old daughter are paying the $450 a week, out of pocket, for a room at the Red Roof Inn in Tinton Falls, N.J. "I've applied for everything I can apply for, and for some reason they extended some of the people under the temporary shelter program, but not me," Yunginger said. FEMA officials in both states say they are working with people staying in hotels on a daily basis, trying to resolve the obstacles that are preventing them from finding other housing opportunities.

Thanks to a variety of Asian collaborators and several more from the in-house crew, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star has released with more zip-closed colorways than just about any other sneaker. The latest comes from Converse Japan, which is known for ultra-premium releases like the Addict series, but this All Star Zips LP Hi happens to be extremely affordable at around $60 USD. The challenge, then, will be getting the burgundy, golden orange and black canvas styles into your sneaker closet, but you can get a better look at them below, then get with your overseas connects to try to buy a pair.

The season opener for Southern and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette came with some last minute fireworks Friday night at the F.G. Clark Activity Center. Unfortunately for The Lady Jaguars, they found themselves on the wrong end of a buzzer-beater, losing 71-69.
"It's not the loss that bothers me, it's how we played," said Southern coach Sandy Pugh. "ULL played well. They ran their sets, they pushed the ball and got in the lane on us all night and they killed us at the end."
Tied at 69 with nine seconds to go in the game, Southern's Lechell Rush turned the ball over as Pugh desperately tried to call a timeout. The ball was picked up ULL's Byronesha Santiago, she passed it up-court to Kia Wilridge who banked in a floater just as time expired, sinking the hearts of The Lady Jags and those in attendance.
"It was kind of helter-skelter with all of these new players we have on the floor but we played a good game," said first-year ULL Coach Garry Brodhead. "I was pleased with the effort we gave."
Prior to the game-winning shot, Wilridge was experiencing a tough night, making only 3 of her 10 shots from the field. She finished with only nine points, but none more important than the last two.
"Kia is a warrior and she plays hard to the end," said Brodhead.
"I always tell my team to never quit and that was a play where we easily could have quit and went to overtime but we didn't."
Ashley Benjamin led ULL with 19 points, while Santiago had 14 points and nine rebounds.
Adrian Sanders led Southern with 15 points but also had a game-high five turnovers. The Lady Cajuns also had outrebounded Southern 46-41.
"They had more offensive rebounds than defensive rebounds," said Pugh. "We're bigger than them so there is no excuse for that."
The goal from the start for The Lady Cajuns was to work their offense through Santiago.
It was met with positive results, as the six-foot-one sophomore forward was able to get good position in the paint and scored five quick points to give ULL an early 10-7 lead.
Despite getting no baskets from heralded junior college transfer Yasmin Fuller, Southern was able to keep pace with ULL as the two teams traded baskets for most of the first half.
Down 19-15, junior guard Kendra Coleman drilled a deep three-pointer off an inbounds to pull The Lady Jags within a point. On their next trip down, Southern took its first lead of the night when Jasmine Jefferson converted a basket after fighting for a couple of rebounds.
But The Lady Cajuns answered right back as Keke Veal hit two quick buckets to ignite a 12-6 run to put ULL back up 31-26 with a little over a minute left to go in the half.
"It was important that we were able to do that," Brodhead said of the run. "I was kind of disappointed with our defense up until that point, but we kicked it up a notch."
A late free throw by Veal gave ULL a 32-29 halftime lead.
Veal led all scorers with 10 first half points, while Sanders went into the locker room with 7 points and 4 rebounds.
"They outplayed us," said Pugh, "We played too much one-on-one and didn't run our offense."
The Lady Jaguars were able to pull even at 41 on a fast-break layup by Sanders with 15 minutes to go in the game. They later tied their biggest lead of the game when Joysin Allen went up and scored despite getting fouled.
She hit the free throw for her only three points of the game to put Southern up 48-45.
With a little over four minutes to go, it appeared that The Lady Cajuns had put the game away for good with a 10-3 run led by Benjamin to put ULL up 68-62 with a minute and a half left.
But Southern answered back with free throws from Kendra Coleman and Laneisha Stephens followed by a layup from Kendra Coleman to knot the score up at 69 and set up the final sequence.
"I have a lot of disappointed kids," said Pugh. "But they didn't play as if they were disappointed."

Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue!
Season one
He was one of the agents too afraid to tell Dr. Phibes they hadn't found Dr. Albert Shaggleford and his nanotech formula, leaving it to Agent 3.
He was one of the agents scared off by Scooby-Doo pretending to be a ghost (who was actually invisble); he ran straight into the other agent beside him, seemingly sending themselves down a hole.
He got dropped from Dr. Phibes's cloudship, while in Mount Zeryodelwietzen, (along with two others) for graffiting a mountain with his laser ray and depleting its power.
Season two
When Uncle Albert's cover had been blown as Dr. Phibes's loyal scientist, Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo had to rescue him. Dr. Phibes ended up escaping setting a timed detonation for his lair, leaving his operatives behind. Scooby used a special super speed Scooby Snack and rescued everyone. The day may have been saved, but that didn't spare them from the police arriving. (Uncle Albert Alert)

"There is a world referred to in Scripture that is quite unseen . . . Michael Heiser's The Unseen Realm seeks to unmask this world. . . . This book is clear, well done and treats many ideas and themes that often go unseen themselves."
"All—scholars, clergy, and laypeople—who read this profound and accessible book will grow in their understanding of both the Old and New Testaments."
The Unseen Realm, by Dr. Michael Heiser, argues we must approach the strange and supernatural of the Bible with the worldview of an ancient Hebrew. "People shouldn't be protected from the Bible," Dr. Heiser says. But modern theological systems often do just that, by "explaining away" difficult or troublesome passages of Scripture.
Who is the Divine Council? (Psalm 82:1)
Why wasn't Eve surprised when the serpent spoke to her? (Genesis 3)
What are we to make of Peter and Jude's belief in imprisoned spirits? (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6)
Discover what it means to read the Bible within the context of an ancient Hebrew – just as the biblical authors intended!
Dr. Michael S. Heiser
A scholar in the fields of biblical studies and the ancient Near East, Dr. Michael S. Heiser is a Scholar-in-Residence at Faithlife Corporation, the makers of Logos Bible Software. Dr. Michael S. Heiser studied at Dallas Theological Seminary, he has an MA in Ancient History from the University of Pennsylvania, and he has an MA in Hebrew Studies and a PhD in Hebrew Bible and Semitic Languages from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has published widely in scholarly journals and popular periodicals such as Bible Study Magazine.
Dr. Michael S. Heiser has taught at the college level for 12 years. He specializes in the Hebrew Bible, Northwest Semitic languages (biblical Hebrew, biblical Greek, Syriac, Aramaic, Ugaritic, Egyptian, Akkadian, Sumerian, Phoenician, and Moabite), biblical theology, the history and religions of the ancient Near East, and Second Temple Jewish literature.

UMKC poised to start anesthesiologist assistants program No other program like it west of the Mississippi RiverThe University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) is poised to be the first in Missouri and west of the Mississippi River to offer a Master of Science in Anesthesia (MSA).
Last month, the Missouri legislature agreed to give $750,000 to UMKC to support start up costs. The Missouri Society of Anesthesiologists Educational Fund has also given funds supporting the program planning.
Approval by the UMKC Board of Curators is the final step still needed before the medical school can launch the MSA program.
If approved, the UMKC MSA program will produce highly skilled medical professionals called anesthesiologist assistants. AAs are licensed to work under the supervision of anesthesiologists to provide various anesthesia services in hospitals, surgery centers, and other health-care environments.
This program is an important and practical solution for the shortage of anesthesia care providers locally and nationally. Currently, there are four AA educational programs operating in the U.S., all east of the Mississippi River. Sixteen states, including Missouri, allow AAs to practice.
"An anesthesiologist assistants school in Missouri will help solve the shortfall of anesthesia providers in the state," said Jim Kelly, M.D., anesthesiologist at Saint Luke's Hospital. Kelly has been active in legislation allowing AAs to practice in Missouri.
Because Missouri's surrounding states have not yet passed legislation to license AAs, many believe the majority of UMKC's graduates will stay in Missouri to practice.
The American Society of Anesthesiologists is working with the American Academy of Anesthesiologist Assistants to increase the number of practicing AAs in the country.
"As a public medical school, we feel a responsibility to respond to the health care workforce needs in Missouri," said Betty Drees, M.D., dean of the UMKC School of Medicine. "By partnering with the Missouri Society of Anesthesiologists, we are able to provide an innovative and high quality education program, which is of benefit to our community."
The UMKC MSA program will be housed in the School of Medicine, with clinical training at regional hospitals. The School of Medicine currently manages a residency program in anesthesiology for physicians.
Student demand for the AA program is expected to be high. The initial class is projected to start in the summer of 2007. Initially, 10-15 students will be admitted, with the entering class size eventually growing to 20 per year.
The University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) School of Medicine offers a combined baccalaureate/doctor of medicine degree program that admits students out of high school. The program provides students with early and ongoing clinical experience through teams of students, physicians and other health-care providers. The UMKC School of Medicine also offers residency training in 14 specialties and 25 subspecialty residency programs. The school partners with Children's Mercy Hospital, Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City, Truman Medical Centers, Western Missouri Mental Health Center and the Kansas City VA Hospital. For more information on the UMKC School of Medicine, visit www.umkc.edu/medicine.
UMKC, one of four University of Missouri campuses, is a public university serving more than 14,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students. UMKC engages with the community and economy based on a three-part mission: visual and performing arts, health and life sciences, and urban affairs.

I Walk In Beauty
por David Wilhelm
Sobre o livro
I Walk In Beauty is an intriging visual journey through the simpler beauty to be found in nature. Beauty found in patterns, colors and intricate details. Beauty that reveals itself through a slow consideration of one's surroundings. Beauty that is intimate, subtle and mysterious.
Accompanying the images by award winning photographer David Wilhelm are the words and thoughts of John Muir, Rachel Carson, Albert Einstein, Walt Whitman, Lord Byron, Henry David Thoreau and others.

Sobre o autor
Always fascinated by the interplay of light and the world around him Dave has developed his singular visual focus into an art form. The Art of Light. The use and control of light is the photographer's primary tool and one that Dave employs in every image he creates. This skill is equally applied when working out of doors or in the studio. However, Dave's personal passions of outdoor adventuring, environmental conservation and world travel are reflected in much of his photography. In some of his recent work he is incorporating some art techniques into his photography, including oil paints, and pastels, and has created a unique blend - The Art of Light and Paint. As Dave sums it up, "Photography is for the part I see, the painting is for the part I imagine." Dave's photographs have appeared in numerous publications, including National Geographic Magazine, Outside Magazine, and Sierra Club Books. His clients have included VISA, AT&T, American Airlines, Sony and Hewlett-Packard.

Data Collection
Prepared by
Bjorn Freeman-Benson (Object Technology International)
and Brian Paisley (Forest Technology System)
Desired Programs
Use Cases
A local forest technology company, Forests 'R' Us, wants to build and sell a system for gathering and analyzing weather information to predict forest fires and help with water table management. The Arbor2000 will be sold to National Forests, Environment Canada, the U.S. Forest Service, and large private land owners. It will consist of hardware and software both locally in the owner's office building and remotely in the forests.
The data sensors in the forest report at various intervals to the central computer via satellite, packet radio, cell phone, dial-up phone, or dedicated line. The central computer stores and analyzes the information. The users run a wide variety of reports, browsers, historical trend analysis, and future prediction algorithms over the data. Furthermore, given the inherently geographic nature of the data, many of the reports incorporate maps.
The sensors, such as temperature, sunlight intensity, wind speed and direction, rainfall, and so on, come in three basic types:
Some sensors fall in multiple groups, for example, they report events but can also be queried.
The sensors are produced by different manufacturers and return numeric values in a wide variety of units (miles/hour, km/hour, lumens, watts, calories/day, etc.) and at widely varying intervals and tolerances.
Additionally, the data links are not necessarily reliable, and yet the system must deal with all these issues while presenting both a uniform and a detailed view of the data to the user and his or her agent/analysis programs.
Forests 'R' Us needs three categories of programs:
Gathering the sensor data is relatively simple: the field sensors send information packets to the central computer, and the central computer stores them. Each packet contains the sensor ID, the time stamp, and the numeric sensor measurement. For cost reasons, many sensors are grouped into sensing units which send their data together (e.g., wind speed, direction, humidity, and temperature) via one phone call rather than four separate calls.
Configuring the field sensors consists of telling the main program where each sensor is physically located and what type of sensor it is. Additionally, many sensors have different settings for measurement units and errors, reporting intervals, etc., so these too are configured. Because this is a 7x24 system, sensors can be replaced at any time, usually with an upgraded model and thus with different measure units, error tolerances, etc.
The browsing and analyzing programs are the heart of the system. The analysis algorithms provide fire danger ratings, water table estimates, flash flood warnings, and so on. The browsing interfaces provide detailed information, both tabular and geographic, from the database. For example, the temperature maps similar to those seen on the evening news are one of the possible graphical outputs. The user should be able to navigate through the information in many ways including:
To provide for future expansion, each of the numeric values available for display (e.g., temperature, rainfall, fire danger, flash flood risk, etc.) should be computed via a plug-in module. (Forests 'R' Us intends to sell additional modules for other risk factors, such as earthquake prediction, in the future.)
There are sixteen sensor groups, each with three or four sensors, placed in the Rumbling Range National Forest. The sensors are randomly chosen from rainfall, temperature, sunlight, wind speed, wind direction, and snowpack sensors. The sensors report from once a minute to once a day and in a variety of units.
Jane Arden, a National Park Service Ranger, wants to post the fire danger results outside the Visitor Information Center, so she uses the Arbor2000 to examine the graphical view of fire danger in the forest. Overall, the fire danger is "moderate" with one area of "low danger + high uncertainty". Looking into the uncertain area, she finds that a number of the sensors have not reported for quite a while, leading to the uncertainty. Further investigation reveals that none of the sensors in groups 2 and 4 have reported, and further checking shows that groups 2 and 4 are the only two which use the 555-3473 phone modem. She dispatches a repair crew to figure out the problem with the phone line while she posts the "moderate" fire danger sign in front of the visitor's center. She also checks the fire danger last year, and finds out that it was "low" over the entire forest, so she calls the Rumbling Range Spokesman-Review and asks them to print a story about how the fire danger is higher this year due to lower than expected rainfall.
The Rumbling Range National Forest buys two additional sensor arrays and hires a helicopter crew to plant them in the forest. After they return with Global Positioning System confirmation of the Latitude and Longitude of the sensors, Jane configures the system to receive the new data. Fortunately, the Arbor2000 is clever enough to store the unidentified incoming data until Jane had time to indicate where the arrays were located and what sensor types they were.
Forests 'R' Us comes out with a new plug-in module that it generously gives away free over the Internet. This new module computes trend analysis of the sunlight sensors to detect premature failure. Ms. Arden downloads and runs the module against the Rumbling Range database, only to discover that sensor #372 on Bald Mountain shows signs of age -- its measured output has slowly declined over the past four years. Jane decides to hike to the top of the mountain and replace the sensor.
When she reaches the top, she discovers that the problem is not the sensor, but rather a small pine tree shielding the sensor from the sun. Unwilling to cut down the only tree on Bald Mountain, she relocates the sunlight sensor 100 meters to the south. When she returns to base, she updates the database with the sensor's new location.
