"One of New York's many hidden treasures, the Socrates Sculpture Park was founded in 1986 by the sculptor Mark di Suvero. This summer, it is home to The Living Pyramid, a site-specific earth work by New York-based artist Agnes Denes. It consists of a four-sided pyramid that curves upwards to a point thirty-feet above the ground."

Why I write about Italy
Yes I love to write about Italy, she is my passion and I love to share her with you here.
Sitting in the sun at my favorite cafe dreaming of Italy and flicking through a magazine I had to laugh at myself.
A fashion shoot of a beautiful pale girl in an abandoned building and I was thinking that it wouldn't take much to get that wallpaper off, and how beautiful the floorboards would be stripped back and re polished. I could vividly describe to you the pattern of the wallpaper, high ceilings and elegant stairway yet couldn't tell you a single thing the girl was wearing.
I come from a family of women who carry tape measures in their handbags. Notebooks filled with little sketches of furniture and measurements. Who navigate by what the house looks like on the relevant corner…the one with the picture windows, the one with the gorgeous picket fence. The women in my family know exactly the house I am talking about, and usually tell me to take the next left and have a look at the house with the sunflowers peeking over the fence.
I have a passion that must be genetic, I can't walk down the street without mentally revamping each house I pass. Heaven help you if you get my Mum along, she is often tempted to put a little note in the letter box saying how well a change of color would set off the garden. That's her painting at our first home, see it runs in the family.
It is the women in my family who are the renovators, the ones with vision and an eye for detail. The ones who feel the life of a house, draw it forth once more.
I knew as soon as my hand lingered over worn rock, felt the heart captured in timeless ancient buildings that I belonged to Italy.
Ever since I was a child swinging in the park with my best friend Carolyn I have wanted to venture forth. I was the first of our family to travel abroad and suddenly the whole world opened up. I traveled though Europe, England, America and parts of Asia, yet it was always Italy that filled my heart.
The art, the history, the people and of course the architecture picked me up, whirled me around and gave me passionate kisses on each cheek.
It felt as if I had come home, as if I had never left.
My heart now belongs not only to Italy but to an Italian man, he is my soul. Our children speak with their hands, and live straight from the heart. Even I am often surprised by their beauty, the very Italianess of them. Italy gave me a gift, one I treasure and one I share with you. Now I love to write about Italy.
Yes I write about Italy. She is my passion, and I long to be in her company once more.

I'll do some additional testing here, but it may be hardware specific, since I just did the exact same install with RC2 on a laptop here and it worked fine. Did the disk previously have any other file-systems on it? How about if you choose the GPT option in Disk Configuration -> Advanced? I did a default ZFS install by using the graphical installer. As I mentioned it failed. But it piqued my interest ... I wondered if it was a ZFS-related problem. So I went to the advanced install options - UFS - next round. Surprisingly it worked. I did the install again using just the default install. Again it failed ... then I reinstalled the UFS version where it now sits. It originally was a brand new hard drive. Later it had Bodhi Linux on it. But between all the last few installs were only PC-BSD ... but I will try the GPT suggestion. At this time the hardware is sitting there waiting for the 9.1 Release ... since only this release fixes the T420 video rendering issues with 9.0. I still need to check to see if the audio is working ... will do that along with your idea. I can test with any changes that are made. As I mentioned this system is idle ... and it is much better to test this issue at the native hardware level than a virtual machine if it is hardware-related. I'm looking forward to a quality release 9.1 for my T420 ... seriously looking to use PC-BSD than Ubuntu Linux. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.pcbsd.org/ticket/678#comment:4> PC-BSD <http://trac.pcbsd.org> PC-BSD Project Management

Wiggles world
Greg Page.

Kyle thinks Jackie is fat! After the tears, she made a bet. Did she loose the weight? The Fat Bet
It's the most embarrassing video of his life, and Andy wants you to see it. See Hamish Exposed!
It seems that she still finds time to let her hair down whilst on tour in Australia! See the pics
The longish walk to find the cafe leaves him short of breath. A wait in a coffee queue is uncomfortable. Even just getting around the city now is more tiring than years of performing in two high-energy shows a day, six days as week, as the Yellow Wiggle.
Two years ago tomorrow, Greg Page was forced to quit life in a skivvie, walking away from being adored by delighted tots around the world as part of one of the country's biggest entertainment success stories.
At 34, the former trainee teacher had been a member of the Wiggles, which earned an estimated $45 million last financial year, for 16 years. But after collapsing twice on tour, Page was diagnosed with orthostatic intolerance - a condition that leaves him disoriented and occasionally slurring his words when he stands upright for even a few minutes.
It took three frustrating months to find out what was making him ill. At the time, he was using a walking stick and was worried that observers would think he was drunk.
"I must have gone to pick something up and I knocked something else over," he says of an especially bad day. "I totally missed what it was that I was going to pick up. I think I was still undiagnosed at the time, so that was a pretty low point.
"To be feeling the way you feel - tired, lethargic, heavy-chested, light-headed and just vague, and to be missing your mouth when you go to eat things - that was a pretty raw moment."
With the decision to leave the group, which had reporters camped outside his Sydney home, Page went from what he calls the Wiggle World, the high-profile life of concerts, CDs, DVDs and celebrity fans on the touring circuit, to the Non-Wiggle World, where he has to manage a chronic medical condition. It has involved tough times on every level.
"Towards the end, it was certainly becoming clear that I wasn't coping with it and I didn't know why," he says of leaving the group.
"I was the youngest of the four guys and that frustrated me too. Jeff [Fatt, the Purple Wiggle], who was 20 years older than me, was no problem, six days a week, two shows a day.
"I thought 'bloody hell, what is wrong with me?' "
Page now looks like a fit 36-year-old as he lingers over a coffee and slice of chocolate cake. But when he stands for prolonged periods, he feels what he likens to dehydration or drunkenness. Blood pools in his legs, which makes him susceptible to collapsing.
He remembers a time when he was walking into walls.
"That's one reason I wanted to have a walking stick, apart from the physical support it gave me," he says. "It made me feel that at least people would realise something was wrong and I wasn't just wandering around shopping centres as an aimless drunk.
"It was embarrassing. To go from doing two shows a day, an hour and twenty minutes each show on stage in the US, to getting round with a walking stick in a matter of a month was a real shock."
With medication and precautions that include drinking lots of water, his condition has improved to the point where he hopes to return to something he loves - performing on stage.
"I miss performing, being on stage and seeing an audience full of kids just there to have a great time, dancing along, singing along, the smiling faces," he says.
Awkwardly for Page, singing with the condition triggers hyperventilation and dizziness. But at a first jam session recently, he sang some songs he recorded with Elvis's TCB band as a side project during his Wiggles years, and a Crowded House number.
While "trashed" afterwards, Page now thinks he could manage a one-hour show early next year, maybe even record an album of the country songs he has been writing.
"If you're singing in a pub or a club and then just getting in the car and going home, it doesn't matter if you just flake in bed," he says. "But I don't think it would be a regular thing."
It took time but Page now accepts, with an impressively positive attitude about the future, that his life is different.
"Once I got a diagnosis, it was easier to accept," he says. "You know what's wrong and you can deal with it a lot more easily. Now there's not really too many challenges.
"It's just a matter of moving forward in a positive way with life and accepting that things are different and making the most of it."
There are still regular reminders of his past life, though, with constant repeats of old Wiggles TV shows. Page never watches them and has given all his yellow skivvies to his replacement, Sam Moran.
After reaching a financial settlement with the group, Page has found one new direction in designing homes for a property development.
He will not comment on reports of a marriage breakdown - he has an 18-year-old son at university and an 11-year-old daughter - but he admits to coming out of a tough 18 months.
"I always stayed very positive but there was a period there where I just felt dark," he says.
"I wouldn't say I was depressed but I certainly recognised that I wasn't myself in that time."
Page's new interests include supporting Melbourne's Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute, which is researching his condition, and other charities.
"Everybody has opportunities ahead of them," he says. "It's a matter of recognising them and picking a door to go through. Pick a door, any door, and see where it takes you. If you don't like it, go back and pick another one.
"I don't have people beating down my door because of who I am or what I've done. I don't have job offers here, there and everywhere to do anything at all. But I've chosen to look at life in a practical way that's going to make me be happy."
Having talked for an hour, Page needs a few minutes to compose himself before heading to the car - a big improvement on what he could manage a year ago. For the man who was once the Yellow Wiggle, life is moving on.

I have a customer that are about to buy a WMware setup to replace his Microsoft education setup that
are now running on physical boxes.
Every student would need to have the same network environment for their sandbox with MS servers and
XP, Vista Computers, all virtual.
I have planned to run a proof of concept using a series of m0n0wall VM's with a simple WAN, LAN, NAT
setup, that way every student can have the same internal addresses, but a different external
I will report here if and when the project has been evaluated.
A side effect would be that every student get to see how great m0n0wall is for many purposes.

That's a little strongly worded (I wrote it), I'll have to expand that
section with further clarification. The primary reason for the strong
wording is so people don't do stupid things, like use VMware
Workstation or Player on their PC as a production firewall. That
leaves you open to configuration mistakes leaving your PC wide open on
the Internet.
With ESX it's much less of a concern, though that depends on the
environment. In high security environments I would never recommend
mixing VMs or networks of differing trust levels on the same server,
whether ESX or any other hypervisor. Given the very good security
track record of ESX, I wouldn't hesitate to run even your perimeter
Internet firewall in ESX in many environments.

NatureMill's Russ Cohn with compost machine
The compost machine is about the size of a large kitchen waste bucket.
Cohn is the inventor of NatureMill, a fully automated composter and announced the product's re-launch on 18 September 2006. Cohn said that methane gas --an environmentally devastating byproduct of landfills-- contributes as much or more to global warming than automobile emissions, due to its chemistry and interaction in the upper levels of the atmosphere.
More than half of landfill waste, and the methane gas it generates, comes from food and paper scraps that could easily be composted and put to healthy, sustainable use, he said.
"It's great to buy a hybrid car, but without composting you might as well have an invisible SUV running around your kitchen," said Cohn from San Francisco, CA.
"Most people don't yet realize the staggering impact of kitchen waste on greenhouse emissions, or how simple it is to divert so much landfill fodder to healthy and sustainable use. My goal is to make it easy, fast and painless for people to do this."
Consumers in the United States, in particular, produce the majority of the world's waste products. "Composting is the most efficient, natural form of recycling there is, but we impede the process with poor waste management," Cohn said.
"NatureMill makes it easy to turn trash into tulips. We get e-mail from customers all over the world saying they're delighted with the results in their gardens."
The NatureMill NM5125 features built-in technology for enhanced drying, mixing and breakdown of contents. Among the new updates are a power dry feature that turns out drier compost that is garden-ready immediately, a more powerful mixing and grinding process -- which means food and paper waste are broken down more effectively, and a jam-prevention sensor to automatically clear jams without human intervention.
Compost is high in nutrients for plants and is highly absorbent. Compost can be used to mix with soil or added as a top dressing (mulch,) which in turn holds soil moisture levels stable.

After having my rig for four years, I've decided that it's about time for an upgrade. (I built my rig just as AGP graphic cards were going out of style.)
I've been out of the PC building scene for awhile, but I think I've managed to come up with a spec that will function so far. I'm considering an AMD3 cpu, and the MSI 790FX-GD70 motherboard seems like a solid base to start with. However, I'm a little unclear about it's memory standards. Newegg states that it's memory standard is DDR3 2133 OC. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the OC stands for overclocked, doesn't it?
What type of memory should I use in this board to take full advantage of it?

Synopsys, STMicroelectronics and Samsung Collaborate to Accelerate Adoption of 28-nm FD-SOI Technology for SoC Design
Synopsys Galaxy Design Platform Enables Designers to Take Full Advantage of High-Performance and Low Power of 28-nm FD-SOI
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 4, 2014 -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), a global leader providing software, IP and services used to accelerate innovation in chips and electronic systems, today announced it has extended its collaboration with STMicroelectronics to include Samsung Electronics, enabling broader market adoption of ST's 28-nm FD-SOI technology for SoC design. Synopsys' Galaxy™ Design Platform is production-proven on multiple designs based on ST's 28-nm FD-SOI technology. This collaboration extends the Galaxy design flow to Samsung in support of their strategic agreement to offer dual sourcing of ST's 28-nm FD-SOI technology. Developed over a multiyear collaboration with ST, the design flow enables concurrent area, power and timing optimizations to enable engineers to optimize their designs for the ST 28-nm FD-SOI process.
"The close collaboration between ST design teams and Synopsys led to advanced silicon-proven design enablement solutions that fully leverage the performance and power promise of FD-SOI technology and provide the foundation needed to meet tight time to market windows," said Philippe Magarshack, executive vice president, Design Enablement and Services, STMicroelectronics. "Our close collaboration with Synopsys has already enabled many successful tapeouts with mutual customers using Synopsys' Galaxy Design Platform and Lynx Design System."
The Synopsys design flow for ST's 28-nm FD-SOI is compatible with the Lynx Design System, a full-chip design environment providing innovative automation and visualization capabilities that enable higher designer productivity and faster design closure. A technology plug-in using ST's 28-nm FD-SOI Process Design Kit (PDK), standard cells and memories, adapts the production-proven Galaxy Design Platform-based RTL-to-GDSII flow for 28-nm FD-SOI SoC designs, accelerating project setup and execution. Lynx automation simplifies and accelerates many critical implementation and validation tasks, including back-bias management across the flow, special connection checks, In-Design physical verification for well connections and UPF supply set management for N-wells and P-wells.
Galaxy advanced design enablement features like the IC Compiler™ tool's concurrent clock and data optimization, layer-aware optimization, physical datapath and comprehensive support for hierarchical and low power design features can also be directly accessed by Lynx users for high-performance and low power CPU and GPU design.
"28-nm FD-SOI is an ideal solution for customers looking for extra performance and power efficiency at the 28-nm node without having to migrate to 20-nm," said Dr. Shawn Han, vice president of foundry marketing, Samsung Electronics. "Our close collaboration with Synopsys and ST will enable designers to reduce risk, accelerate time-to-market, minimize power and maximize performance to expand 28-nm FD-SOI adoption."
"Because the Galaxy Design Platform is silicon-proven on ST's 28-nm FD-SOI process with multiple tapeouts of low power designs running in the gigahertz frequency range, customers can adopt this technology with confidence," said Antun Domic, executive vice president and general manager, Design Group at Synopsys. "Combined with the Lynx Design System and DesignWare® IP, the Galaxy Design Platform enables engineers to derive maximum benefit from the FD-SOI process and our continued collaboration with ST and Samsung will ensure ease of adoption of FD-SOI for SoC design."
The Synopsys Galaxy Design Platform and Lynx Design System with support for ST and Samsung 28-nm FD-SOI process technology are available now from Synopsys. The 28-nm FD-SOI-enabled PDK, standard cells and memories for early design are available now from Samsung.

This recent earnings release from the United States Postal Service (USPS) announced a large loss for the first quarter of its fiscal year. It could, just as accurately, have said that the Postal Service made a net operating profit of $200 million delivering the mail for this year's first quarter.
The difference between the announced loss and the operating profit is almost entirely due to an external condition imposed by a severe congressional mandate, that requires that the post office pre-fund 75 years' worth of future retiree health benefits within the next few years. This pre-funding requirement added $3.1 billion in red ink to the USPS's first quarter not loss figure.
Pre-funding retiree health sounds like a very laudable goal. However, the amount that the Postal Service has been required to set aside for this purpose far exceeds that which is necessary, and is unmatched by any private corporation or agency of the federal government. It is being required to fund a 75-year liability within a ten-year framework.
The Postal Service's watchdog, the Inspector General (IG), recently found that the USPS pre-funding level is unprecedentedly high. The IG reported that typical agencies of the federal government do not pre-fund healthcare costs at all. The military is only funded at the 35 percent level. Of the largest corporations few even offer retiree health, but of those who do only 38 percent pre-fund the expense at all—and the median funding level for those companies is far below that of the Postal Service. Most organizations pay for retiree health out of their current revenues each year, rather than accumulate a fund ahead of time.
The Postal Service has been required by Congress to pay $5.5 billion annually, into what the IG calls a "war chest" that now holds over $326 billion. Even if no further funding was provided, and the fund simply collected a modest rate of interest, the account would be 100 percent funded in twenty-one years. In addition, the USPS has overpaid the federal retirement system by $13 billion.
The USPS does face competitive and technological challenges. Electronic delivery has challenged traditional mail. Federal Express and UPS have taken over some of the most profitable segments of the shipping market. However, the Postal Service has also been hampered by draconian Congressional mandates that its competitors do not face.
The unprecedented pre-funding requirements are the work of Congressional Republicans. They were imposed in 2006, while the Republicans controlled both Congress and the White House. Now Darrell Issa (R-CA) has launched an effort that pretends to "save" the post office by destroying it. Rather than giving the Postal Service flexibility to reorganize and meet their competition on a level playing field, Issa would further weaken the USPS by cutting services and imposing a downward spiral on the Service's ability to deliver.
A glimmer of hope is being offered by Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Bernie Saunders (D-VT) and Mary Landrieu (D-LA). They hope to rally support for a series of amendments to the flawed proposals in the "21st Century Postal Service Act." Postal unions have also made valuable suggestions for reform. Such efforts may yet give the USPS the flexibility it needs to adjust for a competitive future, rather go into a downward spiral.

Project DescriptionLocated at a busy intersection in downtown Raleigh, the North Carolina Chapter of the American Institute of Architects' (AIANC) Center for Architecture and Design is the first-ever AIA chapter headquarters built from the ground up. Clad in cypress and other locally available materials, the 12,000-square-foot building also is a flagship for the future of sustainable design.
Frank Harmon Architect PA, Raleigh, was selected as the Center's architect of record, topping more than 70 other firms in a statewide design competition. Principal Frank Harmon said his company's design deliberately emphasizes building materials that are sustainable and that reflect the history and heritage of the Tarheel state. Included in that mix is locally sourced cypress, which is a signature feature of the Center's southern and northern facades.
"Cypress is readily available in North Carolina, and its appearance is warm, friendly, and familiar," he said. "The cypress on this new, modern building's exterior is the same species of wood that's been used for generations to build shrimp boats on the Carolina coast."
By specifying cypress, Harmon did more than honor a native building product. He also equipped the Center with a durable cladding that will provide decades of service and good looks.
Unlike composite materials or pressure-treated wood, cypress is naturally durable thanks to cypressene, a preservative oil produced in the wood that makes it resistant to decay, insects, and other damaging elements. "With minimal maintenance, cypress will weather beautifully over the years, even in a harsh, salty coastal climate," Harmon said.
With abundant and readily available materials such as cypress at their disposal, Harmon feels that architects are moving towards more environmentally responsible designs. And as the country continues to recover from the recession, Harmon says design and construction methods are changing.
"We won't be building in the same wasteful ways," he explained. "With new emphasis on alternative energy and sustainable design, the AIANC Center demonstrates a new way to build. It is a flagship for green architecture in North Carolina, and a blueprint that can be adapted across the country."
Harmon also views the facility, which began construction in late 2010 and serves 2,300 chapter members, as a monument to the sustainability of his profession and to the perseverance of his colleagues throughout the building industry. "This was a really bold gesture—maybe the boldest in the country. It was built in the midnight of the recession, as a gesture of faith and belief in what we do as architects."
With the new facility, AIANC has transformed what was formerly an unused and awkward piece of land in downtown Raleigh into a people center that is encouraging business and residential development.
"The Center is a compelling example for responsible revitalization of the cores of towns and cities across our state," Harmon says. "It demonstrates sustainable urban development and puts Raleigh on the map as a leader in this endeavor."
Aided in part by its use of cypress, the Center for Architecture and Design meets design standards set by the AIA's Committee on the Environment (COTE), as well as the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program at the Platinum level—the highest level of recognition.

Vacuums as Efficient Flea Fighters?
No longer do you have to subject your pets, family, carpet or furniture to heavy duty chemicals when fighting the ongoing war against those annoying pests known as Ctenocephalides felis, or common household fleas. Recent scientific studies have shown that by merely vacuuming, fleas in all stages of their lives can be eliminated anywhere between 96 to100 percent.
Many people, including scientists, found those numbers too good to be true. In fact, it lead one Ohio State University insect professor to repeat the experiment multiple times to check and double check the results. It turns out that the findings were correct and the results were as astounding as they sounded.
The lead researcher came to these results after looking at a variety of issues. They examined vacuum bags in case they were toxic and it was them that was killing them. They also exposed fleas to constantly churning air in separate to tests to try to discern the actual causes of flea death. What was discovered was that it was a combination effect of the brushes, fans and powerful air currents that eventually did the annoying insects in. While they only used an upright vacuum, researchers stand firm that vacuum design has little impact on the results. Associate Professor Glen Needham states that, "No matter what vacuum a flea gets sucked into, its probably a one way trip."
Theorists feel that the process begins when the vacuum brushes rapidly wear away the cuticle, a waxy out layer found on most insects that help them stay hydrated. Minus this protection, adult fleas, larvae and pupae have a tendency to die of dehydration. While often seen as a just a mediocre household tip, vacuuming fleas have now been proven to work quickly quietly and effectively.
The lead researcher went ahead and tested his results with ages at all levels of their age. Fleas have multiple life stage, while adult fleas mate and feed off of their initial host animal, females lay eggs on the floor, furniture bedding. After about fourteen days these insects then go three larval stages before they reach the adult stage. The study uses 100 adult fleas at a time, as well as groups of 50 for each of their other stages of life. Six of the tests done on adult fleas had a 96 percent kill rate while, three tests of the fleas in pupae and one in larvae form resulted in 100 percent kill.
These numbers are very significant, especially considering that merely holding a flea in a vacuum bag killed only 5 percent of them and only 3 percent died in circulating air. In recent years more and more chemical compounds have been discovered for quick and efficient flea control and extermination, yet the results of this study lets many breathe a sigh of relief as they consumers no longer have to rely on chemicals or toxins and instead have a simple, easy and efficient way to physically remove them.
This is especially reassuring as effectiveness of insecticides has been shown to diminish as time goes on and insects develop a strong immunity to the chemicals. Needham is looking to the future for more and more nontoxic ways to solve the ongoing flea problem. He feels the next step would be exposure to UV light as an adequate way to reduce or eliminate the flea problem.
While researchers have stated that they feel that you can reach these results with almost any kind of vacuum, we have some suggestions that have been proven to be powerful, user friendly and most importantly efficient at getting your carpet looking great, fleas and all.

SO MUCH for the salvation of humanity.
When The Matrix first came out four and a half years ago, many Christians were intrigued and excited by the film's many biblical allusions. The protagonist was a hacker named Neo (Keanu Reeves) who discovered that the entire human race was trapped within a virtual reality, and all people were living in a computer-generated dream state to hide the fact that the world had been conquered by machines that were using human beings as a power source.

Support for a public/private partnership to help American adults stop smoking
Tobacco use is one of the nation's greatest health challenges. Even with marked progress, tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of premature death in the United States and costs the nation a staggering $267 billion (between 1997 and 2002) in annual health-related economic losses attributable to smoking. As the nation continues to advance smoke-free air laws and increase tobacco taxes, which make it less acceptable and harder for smokers to smoke, it is even more critical that public and private organizations come together in an effort to assist the nation's 45 million adult smokers, support them in successful attempts to quit smoking, and move the United States ever closer to the Healthy People 2010 national objective of 12 percent of tobacco use prevalence among adults. This one-time grant, in collaboration with national and state partners, will support the National Cessation Alliance. The Alliance is a public/private media buying partnership that enables the nation's public health community to collectively fund a national media campaign and help smokers quit. The campaign will reach millions of American smokers and communicate essential information about quitting smoking and promote the availability of evidence-based resources including state-based telephone counseling via 1-800-QUIT-NOW and free online cessation services such as www.becomenanex.org. A national media buy offers dramatic cost efficiency (versus separate state or local media buys) with the potential to more than double the number of smokers reached for the same cost. As part of this initiative, though not funded through RWJF funds, grants will be offered to support or enhance existing quit lines that join the Alliance.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – The Campbell women's basketball team officially started team practice on Monday afternoon inside Gore Arena. This was the first of 30 practices for the squad in preparation for the 2013-14 campaign that starts on Nov. 9 against Erskine.
"This team is hardworking, and they get after each other in practice," said head coach Wanda Watkins. "I have been amazed with the competitive spirit and the competitive nature that these young women possess. We have worked so hard to instill that in our players. There is a lot of promise and I am really excited about the year ahead."
The Lady Camels went through a practice that lasted just over two hours on their home court at Gore Arena. The squad went through a series of team and individual drills.
Of the 11 returning players on the squad, Campbell returns three starters in seniors Ashley James (Round Rock, Texas) and Roslyn Presley (Petersburg, Va.) and junior Kiera Gaines (Mechanicsville, Va.). The Lady Camels will be looking to replace the contributions from Tonisha Baker, who is currently playing in Germany for the Marburg Blue Dolphins, and Monique Spry.
"There is a lot of potential on this team," said junior Juli Osborne (Kingsport, Tenn.), who was recently named chair of the Big South Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. "Our freshmen are catching on very quickly. The veterans are coming out with a lot of fire. Our team is really passionate about this year."
Gaines, the team's top returner, averaged 11.1 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. The Mechanicsville, Va., native was selected to the 2012-13 All-Big South Second Team.
James contributed 7.3 points and 5.2 boards per contest for the Camels last year. Recording 6.6 points and 3.2 rebounds per game was Presley.
Among the players battling for starting positions are seniors Jessica Moore (Jacksboro, Tenn.) and Heather Beadle (Austin, Texas), juniors Summer Leverette (Turkey, N.C.), Casey Elliott (Wilson, N.C.) and Osborne and sophomores Jessica Pone (High Point, N.C.) and Jewell Yarborough (Creedmoor, N.C.).
Campbell welcomes four newcomers to the program in freshmen Courtney Best (Raleigh, N.C.), Qua Brown (Hampton, Va.) and Amanda Coffer (Summerfield, N.C.) and junior D Janelle Brown (Oklahoma City, Okla.) this fall.
Coach Watkins is in her 33nd season guiding the Campbell program and has amassed 498 victories. She is one of 10 women's basketball coaches to serve 30 or more years at the same institution.
The Lady Camels finished the 2012-13 campaign at 20-11 overall and 11-7 Big South record. Campbell advanced to the semifinals of the Big South Championship by overcoming a 24-point halftime deficit to top High Point in overtime, 74-73.
Campbell begins the season on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m., hosting Erskine at the John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center.

The official capital expenditure report on investment plans by Australian companies is a pretty dry read most quarters. This week, it's shaping up as the make-or-break factor for whether the Reserve Bank of Australia delivers a pre-Christmas interest rate cut.
On Thursday, the Australian Bureau of Statistics publishes its findings on what companies are saying about how much they intend to spend on new equipment, machinery and buildings over the coming year.
It's a vital indicator of how business feels about the future, and the report has added interest, given the close scrutiny now being applied to the resources investment boom.
The Reserve Bank forecasts that mining and liquefied natural gas investment as a proportion of the economy will peak sometime in 2013 or 2014, after which it begins detracting from gross domestic product growth.
Policymakers cut the official cash rate in October to within one step of its post-GFC emergency low, and stayed on hold this month. Financial markets now see a 60 per cent chance of another cut on December 4, the RBA's last meeting until February.
The primary motivation for the October cut was to light a fire under parts of the economy that have been idling in the slow lane, one of the biggest being construction.
Officials at the bank will use Thursday's capital expenditure report to gauge whether those neglected sectors are starting to awaken, and in time to fill the gap that will be created when the mining boom ends. RBA governor
CommSec chief economist Craig James said the last capital expenditure report, which covered the second quarter, showed the weakest upgrade to spending estimates in 19 years. Since then, prices for commodities, including iron ore, coal and gas, had fluctuated wildly, while a growing list of large projects have been mothballed. The biggest of these was BHP's $20 billion Olympic Dam in South Australia.
"If the new estimate is similarly weak, the chances of a December rate cut will improve significantly," Mr James said.
This week's data flood includes some key partial numbers that will flow into next week's third-quarter GDP figures. First up will be Tuesday's ABS balance of payments figures for the three months through September, which will show how much net exports added to or detracted from GDP growth in the quarter.
Wednesday's construction report will highlight the health of the building industry, which Mr Stevens said last week was now enjoying several of the factors that normally fuel a recovery – low interest rates, stable prices and an improved supply of labour.
Alongside Thursday's capital expenditure figures, new home sales data for October are expected to show an increase after recent jumps in building approvals.
The week ends with the publication of Reserve Bank figures on lending aggregates.
