PHILADELPHIA - In the Big 5 opener for both teams, the Quakers and Explorers are both looking to get back on the winning track. In La Salle's last trip to The Palestra, the Quakers broke a 24-game losing streak to Big 5 opponents and posted the program's 400th win all-time. This season, Penn (0-3) has suffered three close losses to start the season, including a three-point loss to Virginia in its only home game thus far, while La Salle (1-5) has faced some of the nation's top competition. On Friday, both teams will look to get off to a winning start in the Philadelphia basketball conference. Tip off is at 7 p.m.
Catching the Game
Video and live stats will be available on the Penn Sports Network (PSN) at PennAthletics.com. A complete recap and box score can then be found at PennAthletics.com shortly after the conclusion of each game.
In the Series vs. La Salle
Penn's only Big 5 win in the last eight years came against the Explorers in La Salle's last trip to The Palestra. Penn's 45-40 victory on Jan. 19, 2011 is one of just six wins in the previous 39 meetings between these teams. However, five of those wins came at home. Head Coach Mike McLaughlin is 1-2 against La Salle, including a 1-0 mark at The Palestra.
About the Explorers
La Salle has faced an increasingly challenging schedule to start the season. The Explorers are off to a 1-5 start, but they led at No. 22 North Carolina at the half and brought Georgetown of the Big East down to the wire—also on the road. La Salle's lone win was a last-second three-pointer to top Lehigh on the road. Facing some of the nation's top competition early in the season, La Salle has allowed 65.0 points per game and has shot just 30.3 percent to start the season, including a 25.0-percent rate from three-point range. La Salle has outscored its opponents in the first half this season, 171-162, but has been outscored by nearly 100 in the second half (228-142). Brittany Wilson leads the Explorers in scoring (20.8 ppg), rebounding (4.8 rpg), assists (2.2 apg) and blocks with six so far this season.
Reaching 1,000
Junior Alyssa Baron is just 10 points from reaching 1,000 for her career. Only 18 Penn women have accomplished the feat and only three have reached that milestone prior to their senior season. Baron is a two-time Ivy League scoring champion. Last year, she edged Princeton's Niveen Rasheed by two points for the 2011-12 Ivy League scoring title. Baron became the first freshman in the history of the league to lead the league in scoring in 2010-11. She had 474 points last season for an average of 16.9 per game. In the 2010-11 season, she finished with 454 points for an average of 16.8 per game—the last Ivy player to win back-to-back scoring titles was Princeton's Meagan Cowher in 2006-07 and 2007-08. Baron would be the first Penn player to reach the 1,000-point threshold since Carrie Biemer did so in 2008.
Against the Big 5
Its a daunting task each year for the Quakers to take on the Big 5. The conference for city bragging rights includes the other four Division I schools in Philadelphia—Temple, La Salle, Saint Joseph's and Villanova. The first three are in the Atlantic-10 conference and the Wildcats are in Big East. Since the Quakers defeated Saint Joseph's on Dec. 1, 2004 at Hagan Arena, 64-57, they have won just once in the last 30 meetings with Big 5 opponents. That win came over La Salle, 45-40, at The Palestra on Jan. 19, 2011. It snapped a 24-game Big 5 losing streak.
Penn Trends
Penn has won six of their last eight non-conference home games ... Alyssa Baron has started 59 consecutive games for the Quakers ... The Quakers are 0-3 for the first time since 2009-10 ... Meghan McCullough and Baron have played in 59 straight games together dating back to the 2010-11 season opener.
A Penn Win Would...
... be the second straight over La Salle at The Palestra—for the first time in program history.
... be the first of the 2012-13 season.
... snap a seven-game losing streak to non-conference opponents.
A Penn Loss Would...
... mark the first 0-4 start since 2009-10.
... mark the fifth straight dating back to 2011-12.
... be less good than a win.
Penn Picked to Finish Fourth in Ivy League
After finishing last season in sixth place with a 6-8 Ivy League record, the Quakers were picked to finish fourth in the Ivy Preseason Media Poll. Last season, Penn was also picked to finish fourth in the Ivy League, but ended up finishing sixth for for the second season in a row.
2012 Team Captains
Seniors Brianna Bradford and Katie Davis and junior Alyssa Baron were named the 2012-13 tri-captains for Penn on Oct. 3. Bradford played in 27 of 28 games last year, averaging 10.6 minutes per game. After her sophomore year she was named Penn's Co-Most Intangible Player. Davis saw action in nine games last season. Following a career-high 17 games played her sophomore year, she was named the team's Most Dedicated Player. Baron led the Ivies in scoring her first two years as a Quaker and was the first-ever freshman to win the honor—she was also named Ivy League and Big 5 Rookie of the Year. She is a two-time All-Ivy recipient, a six-time Ivy Player of the Week and a three-time Big 5 Player of the Week.

Charge for a Cure!
For the third straight year the women's basketball team is dedicating its entire season to the fight against several diseases and the team needs your help. In its first two years, 109 donors have joined the "Charge for a Cure" program which helped the team raise nearly $7,000. Each month of the season will be devoted to help a specific disease with personal ties to the program—The Michael J. Fox Foundation, Go4theGoal, the American Cancer Society, The Dave Bryan Ride on Fund, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of America. At the end of each month, the coaches will total the number of offensive charges the Quakers have taken as a team and fans can pledge a donation per charge. This month the Quakers will be taking charges for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, but the team is turning to its fans to lend a hand in its efforts. Here is how you can help!

Last Time Out
A pair of scoring droughts, one early in the first half and the other late in the second, spelled defeat for Penn on at Army's Christl Arena. Despite a career-high 21 points from freshman Keiera Ray, the Black Knights limited the Quakers to 31 percent shooting (18-57) from the floor and downed Penn, 58-53. Army ran off an 11-3 stretch over six minutes, putting the Quakers into a 21-10 hole as the game reached the under-four media timeout. Two free throws out of that break sparked a 12-2 response that would pull the Quakers within a point at halftime, 23-22. Ray made a deep three and gave the Quakers a 37-35 lead. But Army opened an 8-0 run. The Quakers had one last run in them, slicing what had been a nine-point deficit down to three in the final minute. Five straight points from Ray were followed by a Kara Bonenberger triple and a free throw from Rayne Connell that made it 54-51. Later, Penn pushed the ball upcourt looking to cut the lead to one or tie but the ball was poked out of the hands of Ray with nine seconds left on the clock and Army sealed the game with a pair of free throws.
Up Next
Penn has a busy stretch coming up before the holiday break. The Red and Blue host Bucknell for the first time since 2000 on Monday at 7 p.m. Then its a pair of games in New York City, the first against St. Francis (N.Y.) on Wednesday and the next against LIU on Sunday, Dec. 9.

Hi all, I wanted to try something out but before I did I though I would ask for some advice. I have Backtrack to dualboot with Vista. What I wanted to do was install VMware in Vista and have Backtrack as a virtual machine. So that I have to option to access it from within Vista, and I was thing of maybe using VirtualBox to access Vista from within Backtrack. I'm not sure if VirtualBox has the option of using a HDD partition as a "virtual drive" but its something I am going to have to look into. Now I have a few concerns in doing this....
1. I have Backtrack with compiz. It is already a little buggy as it is now, I think it might just sh!t it self if I try to run it in VMware.
2. Performance. Vista is resource hungry as it is, how would it handle trying to boot up a os on a different partition on the same HDD. and I know you do that anyway with VMware, im just curious as to if I do it this way how will it handle it as I don't think this is your everyday configuration?
3. Corruption, do you think there is a chance I could corrupt something in trying to do this?
Just incasae you were wondering... to help clarify what I am trying to do . This is the configeratuion of my HDD
Code:/dev/sda1 NTFS (VISTA) /dev/sda2 Linux Swap /dev/sda3 ext3 (Back|Track3 Final with compiz)

HOUSTON - Charges against a state representative accused of soliciting clients have been dropped after one of the investigators on the case was accused of stealing evidence in another case.
State Rep. Ron Reynolds, who is also a lawyer, was charged with barratry last year after an accident victim complained that his law firm tried to sign him up as a client.
The case was thrown out on Wednesday because Lonnie Blevins, the former district attorney's office investigator who put the case together, can no longer testify against him.
"He's not a credible source," said Sarah Kinney of the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
"We can't be sure he didn't do this in other cases, and we're not willing to take that risk," Kinney said.
The office is reviewing about 125 cases that Blevins and his former partner, Dustin Deutch, handled. That includes the murder case against Jessica Tata, who was sentenced to 80 years in prison after four children died in a fire at her day care. Blevins was not a witness in the case and much of the evidence against Tata came from other sources.
Reynolds was in Austin when he found out the case against him was dropped.
"He was excited. He gave me one of those smiley faces that you do on the phone," said Jules Laird, Reynolds' attorney.

Google's Eric Schmidt: "Don't Be Evil" was Stupid
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Schmidt admits that he thought the "don't be evil" slogan was stupid when he first came to Google
In a recent interview with NPR, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said that he used to think his company's famous slogan -- "don't be evil" -- was stupid.
NPR host Peter Sagal
interviewed Schmidt
recently on a segment called "Not My Job," which humorously speaks with important leaders and includes a game of some sort.
Sagal asked Schmidt how Google came up with the slogan, "don't be evil."
"Well, it was invented by Larry [Page] and Sergey [Brin]," said Schmidt. "And the idea was that we don't quite know what evil is, but if we have a rule that says don't be evil, then employees can say, I think that's evil. Now, when I showed up, I thought this was the stupidest rule ever, because there's no book about evil except maybe, you know, the Bible or something.
"So what happens is, I'm sitting in this meeting, and we're having this debate about an advertising product. And one of the engineers pounds his fists on the table and says, that's evil. And then the whole conversation stops, everyone goes into conniptions, and eventually we stopped the project. So it did work."
Sagal then humorously accused Schmidt of being the "businessman" type out of the group (among Page and Brin) who felt that an American business couldn't be evil.
"You're coming in, like, you're a businessman who's been successful in all kinds of Silicon Valley business," said Sagal. "And you come in, and you're like this thing about not being evil, that'll never work in American business. What, are you crazy, kids?"
Sagal and Schmidt discussed a few other topics as well, such as
Google Glass
. Sagal asked Schmidt what the glasses are used for exactly.
"Well, we don't quite know yet," said Schmidt. "We have maybe 2,000 of these. We've shipped them out to developers, and we're seeing what they develop. There's obviously issues, shall we say, of appropriateness of how people are going to use these things. There's a right time to have Google Glass on, and there's a right time to have it off, if you take my drift.
"So kind of watch and see what people do with it and then decide what to do."
"If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel." -- AMD CEO Hector Ruiz in 2007

Energy harvesting is the process by which ambient energy is captured and converted directly into electricity for small and mid-sized devices, such as autonomous wireless sensor nodes, consumer electronics and vehicles. Energy harvesting can make some devices self-sufficient and in other cases can improve the energy efficiency of the device. Energy harvesting, otherwise known as power harvesting or energy scavenging, includes photovoltaics (energy from light), thermovoltaics (energy from heat), piezoelectrics (energy from movement), electrodynamics (energy from movement) and biological (energy from biological reactions), among others. It is enabling battery-free, maintenance-free devices.
In addition, new forms of energy storage are being developed which overcome previous technology limitations by being able to be recharged tens of thousands of times, accept lower input voltages and deliver charge more quickly. Electronics companies are also designing compatible ultra low power electronics.
Where energy harvesting competes with a battery, the higher up-front cost of an energy harvesting system over a conventional battery is offset by the reduction in maintenance when batteries in conventional devices fail. It enables wired switches to become wireless, saving installation and wiring cost. It is improving the efficiency of vehicles by capturing energy otherwise lost as heat or vibration.

Did you know?
Vilakazi Street in Soweto was once home to two Nobel laureates – Anglican Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu and former president Nelson Mandela.
Heita! Township lingo for 'Hello'.
Welcome to the real South Africa. The townships of South Africa are the place where the heart of the nation beats.
While the plusher suburbs have more of a polished veneer, and may serve up more in the way of consumer conveniences, it's the townships in South Africa where you discover the emotional connection, the conviviality and the sense of camaraderie that underpins South Africa's working class.
The townships in South Africa were designed as fortresses of apartheid control, a malicious and deliberate use of urban planning to alienate communities.
Post-apartheid, shacks are being replaced by government subsidised houses, hostels are being carved up into proper family quarters, roads are continuously being tarred, and basic services are slowly being installed.
Don't visit South African townships on your own steam. Often road signs are absent and maps can be confusing.
There are myriad professional tour companies that specialise in township tours, including transport to and from the townships, colloquially as 'eKasi'.
Be it Johannesburg's Alexandra or Soweto (the country's most populous and historically rich township), or Pretoria's Mamelodi and Soshanguve (both jazz strongholds), or Cape Town's Khayelitsha and Langa (where Brenda Fassie, the country's undisputed queen of pop was born), all are covered by professional outfits who will guide you through these sprawling warrens.
Go on a tavern crawl, where you can dance till breathless to the tune of jazzy African rhythms and imbibe traditional Zulu tipple, sorghum home-brewed beer. But first, be sure to line your stomach 'eKasi style'. Try chisa'nyama, meat braaied or cooked over an open fire on an outside pavement.
Travel tips & Planning info
How to get here
Townships adjoin every major South African city and town. Township tour operators are most available in all the major cities and will collect you from your hotel or guesthouse.
Tours to do
Numerous city-based tour operators offer township tours. Take your pick.
Get around
Take a township tour with an accredited tour guide. Tour guides normally reside in the township, so you're in good hands.
What will it cost
Depending on the distance of the township and length of tour, you'll pay up to about R500 per person for a half-day tour and R800 for a full-day tour.
Length of stay
A full day, half day or evening. Township tours are tailor-made to your requirements.
What to pack
Walking shoes, a hat and comfortable clothing. Not too much jewellery.
Where to stay
Large townships like Soweto near Johannesburg have clean and safe B&Bs and backpackers, but most visitors prefer to return to their city-based hotels.
What to eat
Traditional township fare at a shebeen (a township tavern). For the not-so-adventurous, there's also Western food on offer.

I wanted to drop a note and thank you for the confidence to expand my cooking. This weekend I made the "Wild Turkey Barbeque Sauce" and used it on some wings and marinated ribs in it over night, smoked the ribs Sunday morning spritzing them with the mist from the "Lord of the Que" ribs. Absolutely fanstastic, they were the rave of the cook out. Also the "Bean Hole" (quick version) baked beans brought many requests for the recipe.
We have truley enjoyed our new grills both the gas and horizontal Char-griller smoker/grill.
Thanks again.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/9/2012 (1800 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Back in his familiar role as the starting quarterback, Buck Pierce set the tone with a promise of effort: It won't be lacking in Friday's game against Hamilton.
The 30-year-old was forced to observe the last eight games from the outside, thanks to a tricky left-foot tendon injury and during that time, he's come to the same conclusion as the Winnipeg Blue Bomber faithful.
Lately, as he admitted Monday, the losses have been tough to take.
"Sometimes, when things are going bad, it's easy to let other influences affect your play," said Pierce, when asked to give his account of the 44-3 embarrassment in Calgary last Friday. "That's not going to happen this week. We're going to go out, we're going to play hard, and you're going to see our guys dead tired (at the end)."
More than he ever has in his two-plus seasons in Winnipeg, Pierce sounded like a determined leader Monday. Frankly, he looked bothered by what was going on with his team. Whether this stems from having to watch the Bombers stumble or the stress of the uncertain quarterback situation he's currently involved in, he expressed total confidence in his abilities and his teammates' -- even as some of the them are coming under fire for their commitment to the rest of the year.
"Everybody has to look at themselves -- what do they want to do? Continue to put that kind of stuff on film, because that's their character," Pierce said. "I worry about myself and if I see something going on that I don't think should be going on, then I'll address that.
"And I got no problem doing that. I know what it takes to win in this league."
Put the CN Tower on top of the Empire State Building, take them to the summit of Mount Everest, and there stands the task in front of Pierce as he attempts to climb the Bombers back to respectability. A sampling of what needs to be straightened out:
-- Winnipeg's offence hasn't scored a touchdown in over three games (13 quarters), hasn't thrown for a major in a month (Hamilton, Aug. 16). The offence has generated a measly 20 points in three games.
-- Over that same span, Bomber quarterbacks have thrown for only 307 yards. That's an average passing output per game for Montreal, Hamilton and Toronto this season.
-- The recent malaise has moved the Bombers' total offence (306 yards) behind the Edmonton Eskimos (327) in terms of average per contest. It's official, folks: Winnipeg's attack is now the worst in the league.
How much of this is on the Bombers' young quarterbacks (Alex Brink, Joey Elliott, Justin Goltz) and how much of it is on rookie CFL offensive co-ordinator Gary Crowton and his play calling? With the return of Pierce, we should have a better idea of where most of the blame should fall.
Both Pierce and Crowton indicated not much will change regarding the offensive system against the Tiger-Cats. Both called for better execution to correct the problems of the last three games, with Pierce, 24-of-40 for 327 yards and just one TD in three appearances this year, believing Crowton's offence can work in the CFL.
But it all starts with Pierce, who needs to be on top of his game to turn Winnipeg's fortunes around.
"I'm hoping (his return) instills some confidence in the rest of the team, that 'Hey, we've got our starting quarterback in there and he's going to lead us to victory,'" head coach Tim Burke said.
But how long will Pierce be under centre? That's not meant as health concern but rather a question of practicality for the franchise moving forward. At 2-9 and with just a thread of playoff hope, the Bombers might be inclined to take a longer look at their young QBs once things officially get out of reach. The counter argument is that the Bombers still need to sell tickets and make some dough; wins with a veteran pivot can help in that regard.
Of course, bigger issues build out of this: What if Pierce lights it up? Given that he's only made 24 starts in 47 games, can the Bombers really open the 2013 season counting on him as the No. 1 guy?
Pierce is determined, but his future status is yet to be.

AN INTREPID former Basingstoke student is gearing up to attempt to become one of the first-ever people to walk to the South Pole via the Scott route, completely unsupported.
Joe Doherty is spending the next five years training for the challenge, before setting off with five other members of Hampshire Scout Expeditions (HSX) on the perilous journey.
The 20-year-old former Queen Mary's College student will go on various practise expeditions in Norway, Greenland and Alaska, before attempting the world record in November 2018.
The group, who range in age from 19 to 23, will spend Christmas and New Year in Alaska before returning in February, hopefully having completed the journey.
Joe, who works at Calshot Activities Centre as a climbing instructor and who is a quarter-master with HSX, said: "It is dangerous. We will be out there unsupported and no one can come and rescue us if something goes wrong.
"If you lose a glove, you will get frostbite within 15 seconds. If your stove fails, you will die because you can't get any water. We will take five just in case.
"There are a lot of things that can go wrong. We are going to take a lot of food with us and then dump food on the way so we can pick it up on the way back. But we might not find it. It does worry us, but who dares wins. You have to have the attitude that you can do it."
The expedition is expected to cost £80,000 per person, which will be raised through sponsorship, with the hope that businesses will help fund the trip in return for having their logo on the team members' equipment.
Joe, who now lives in Andover and who used to be an Explorer Scout in Basingstoke, is leading the team, said: "The HSX has a track record of being able to accomplish these expeditions, and we have a big support team. It's about 90 per cent planning – five years of planning and four months of trekking. I'm very excited about it."

The National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA) held its 35th annual conference and exhibition, titled Courageous Leadership: Owning Your Own Success, on September 10-14, at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston with over 10,000 in attendance. The Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice was lead academic sponsor of the conference, joining Fortune 500 company sponsors such as Coca-Cola, ExxonMobil and Wells Fargo. The conference is regarded as one of the nation's largest business and professional conferences and expositions and drew attendees from across the country in addition to well-known leaders and personalities such as Rev. Al Sharpton and attorney and talk show host, Star Jones.
On Thursday, Rice held a Meet the Experts panel discussion, "Charting a Successful Game Plan in the New World of Marketing: Lessons from the Field," which featured presentations by Julian Duncan (Rice '99, Rice MBA '06), Global Brand Director of Nike's LeBron James line, and Jones School Visiting Professor of Marketing Constance Porter, PhD.
Duncan opened by discussing his own initial reluctance to refer to his student-athlete status in interviews and on the job hunt. Through a mentor, Duncan later realized that such experience was rare and a strong point of differentiation between himself and other candidates. He further illustrated the importance of differentiation, using a clip from the movie, "Hot Rod." Duncan's entertaining and enlightening talk continued to feature clips from popular movies to illustrate his maxims for success in both marketing and a successful long-term career.
He instructed the audience, varying from students currently working on their MBAs to those in mid-career, that they should know themselves, develop situational awareness, avoid hubris, learn to tell great stories and become the go-to person within their realm of expertise.
Following his riveting discussion was the high-energy professor Porter who took her lead for her discussion from the conference theme, Owning Your Own Success. Porter stressed the importance of remaining relevant in an ever-changing and dynamic business world and revealed that the key was embracing lifelong learning.
Porter discussed her own successful career transition from working in banking and finance to becoming a corporate marketing leader and later professor. She elaborated on Duncan's advice about differentiation to include the necessity to "have the courage to shift whatever it is that differentiates you and grow it because," she said as she quoted a business axiom, "'today's differentiator is tomorrow's common sense.'"
Porter gave several examples of companies pushing themselves to the edge of what they do best and suggested that great marketing leaders must do the same to have successful, long-term careers. She also stressed the importance of marketers to be able to link their marketing successes to overall business performance, which means being comfortable with numbers and metrics as well as communicating effectively with the C-suite.
She told students that the safest time to risk pushing to the edge of their knowledge was while still in school and gave advice to those in mid-career on how to do the same.
The discussions were followed by a question-and-answer session, during which many audience members participated.

METAIRIE — Ten basketball players graduated from the Douglass High School (Oklahoma City) squad that won the 2012 Allstate Sugar Bowl National Prep Basketball Classic.
Here's the bad news for this year's field: Guard Stevie Clark was not one of them.
Clark, who despite an injured shoulder scored 33 points during last season's tournament championship game against O.Perry Walker, will return to the Alario Center in Westwego as Douglas tries to defend its title Thursday through Saturday.
Nine other prep powers, though, will make sure it's not an easy for Douglas, winners of three consecutive Oklahoma 4A state championships. The competition includes five local schools, as well as St. Thomas Aquinas of Hammond and Northside of Lafayette.
Five-time state champion St. Augustine will feature Craig Victor, a 6-foot-8 junior whose scholarship offers include Kansas and UCLA.
John Curtis, will showcase two-sport star Malachi Dupre. At St. Thomas Aquinas, Cody Addison averages nearly 20 points a game.
Walker, last season's tournament runner-up, brings point guard Tyree Griffin, the younger brother of former Chargers star Bo McCaleb, who later played at the University of New Orleans and is now playing professionally oversees.
Higgins junior point guard Shawn Jones also hails from a basketball family. His older brother, Casey Jones, signed with Tennessee-Chattanooga last year.
And at Riverside, coach Tim Byrd is spending more time mentoring, now that he has to replace five seniors to graduation, all playing college basketball. His job now is more about reinforcing the game and its many techniques as compared to reminding the former upperclassmen. Byrd hopes many of the lessons they have learned early this season, and others they learn at the tournament, will help the Rebels earn another run deep in the playoffs.
"For a young team like us, this competition helps our team grow up really quick," said Byrd, whose Rebels were the Class 2A runner-up last season and state champions the two previous seasons. "It gives them the confidence that they've played against the best. It's a good gauge to show them where they're at and what they need to improve on as a team."

The tournament, now in its third year, has added an eight-team girls bracket for the first time. Cabrini, one of the schools, opens play Thursday against John Curtis with one senior, one junior and the rest, as coach Nancy Walsh described them, "are babies."
Young players she expects to learn quick.
"We're going to take some bumps early on," Walsh said, "but I think we'll come out strong during district." They know there's going to be some pressure on them to perform well. Even know they're young, they have to handle that."

HOUSTON - There are lots of free events going on this weekend to get your family in the holiday spirit and keep you from blowing your budget.

A 67-foot white fir holiday tree will be lit, fireworks will fill the skyline and Dennis Edwards and The Temptations Review will bring their R&B sounds downtown.
While you are there, take a picture under Texas' largest traveling mistletoe ball hanging off a 15-foot candy cane.
Now through Jan. 3, Macy's Mistletoe on the Go!, is making five week-long "kiss-stops" at downtown Houston landmarks including City Hall, Market Square Park, the Hobby Center, Wortham Theater and Discovery Green.
This 15-foot candy cane complete with a 4-foot hanging mistletoe is accessible to the public, and passersby are invited to stand under the massive ball and pucker up!
For every lip lock shared on the Downtown District's Facebook page, Macy's will donate $1 (up to $5,000) to Make-A-Wish Foundation.
In Sugar Land, Friday night there will be a holiday performance by the Houston Choral Showcase in the Plaza from 7 to 9 p.m.
Directed by Diane Benson, the Houston Choral Showcase performs pop, jazz, swing, show tunes, movie songs, patriotic pieces and holiday tunes.

Thursday came and went without any fanfare. That was good. I like those smooth days — ones that come and go quietly without much ado. They soothe my soul and help on those other days that wreak of chaos and craziness.
But while the world and all the people in it where busy doing their own thing on Thursday, I was lost in the past — seven years ago to be exact — June 6, 2007.
So what's so special about that day in history for me? It's simple, yet oh so complicated. That was the day I turned over my life to Dr. Tracey Weigel at University of Wisconsin Medical Center in Madison, Wis. It was the day of the big surgery — the day I would learn from this very capable cardiothoracic surgeon the cancer she had treated me for during the past three months had died — allowing me to live. It was the day I woke up from a seven-plus hour surgery and heard there was no evidence of cancer in my body. It was the day my family and friends celebrated. It was the day I was able to start putting the words, "You have cancer," behind me and begin the physical, mental, spiritual and psychological journey of healing from a terribly bumpy road I never want any of you to travel.
Whoa! Seven years! While it seems like a lifetime ago, it also seems like yesterday. I think about that day — that entire experience — every day of my life, forever changing who I am, who I was and who I will ultimately end up being. While that six-letter word is more like a four-letter word in my vocabulary, I am different now. I always wonder if there will come a place in time when June 6 will just be another day. I doubt it, but I hope so.
Funny how we remember those life-changing days with clarity. Quite frankly, today I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday, and don't even think about asking me what I did last week or last month because I couldn't tell you. But June 6, 2007? Yep, it strikes a chord — a melodious chord, yet one filled with a kaleidoscope of emotions which I'm not sure I'll every completely sort out.
Many of you came along on that journey with me seven years ago. You sent cards, flowers, prayers ..., and I want you to know every now and then I go through all those cards, and I see your handwritten kindness. It still touches me — probably more so today than it did seven years ago, since I was pretty consumed with craziness back then. Today, I look at those cards, those well-wishes, those signatures, and I feel blessed to have been in so many of your thoughts and prayers.
So what's my point? Why bring this up now? Why not leave the past in the past and move on?
I can't speak for everyone who is or who has ever been a member of the "Big C Club," but I can tell you this awful, horrible disease causes you to be one of two things ... You can either be a victim of cancer or a survivor of cancer. It's your choice, and it's all about your perspective. it has nothing to do with beating or battling the disease. It has everything to do with your mindset. I choose to be a survivor.
Which leads me back to you. When I think back seven years ago and the emotions that plagued my life back then, it's overwhelming. Truly. It was a time when my thoughts and worries were running rampant, but thanks to so many of you, I am able to associate those crazy moments with a plethora of warm thoughts from many of you. They were cards and notes where you shared so much. Tears fill my eyes today when I reread your kind and heartfelt wishes — wishes that helped me be a survivor, rather than a victim.
So to each and everyone of you, please know your kindness seven years ago still stirs my soul. And not only that, I've tried to follow your example, letting people in dire situations know they are in my thoughts and prayers. I will be forever grateful.

Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours
The founders of Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours have dedicated more than a quarter of a century to local tourism. They bring that expertise to hop-on hop-off bus and trolley tours of the city, which allow guests to design their own itineraries. Sightseers board a London-style double-decker bus or old-fashioned trolley at the Bourse building and journey to more than 20 historical sites, including Love Park and the steps Rocky punched in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Passengers can disembark and explore the Eastern State Penitentiary or pose by the Liberty Bell for as long as they like before boarding the next bus or trolley. Tickets grant unlimited access to the vehicles for one day, letting discoveries last until the sun goes down or Ben Franklin's ghost starts his night shift at the tollbooth.

PENSACOLA, Fla.—Two Saint Leo baseball players were named to the2013 National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Preseason All-South Region teams, it was announced today from Pensacola, Fla.
Senior LHP Rick Teasley was named to the All-South Region First Team and junior centerfielder Chris Newcomb was selected to the All-South Region Second Team.

Newcomb batted .304 in 2012 over the course of a team-high 168 at bats. He belted a team leading eight home runs and six triples, while still leading the team in stolen bases with 17.
Newcomb and Teasley were among 14 Sunshine State Conference players to be named to the NBCWA first and second teams.

By Erica Frankenberg and Genevieve Siegel-Hawley
Amid a plethora of educational options -- charters, open enrollment, interdistrict programs, and private schools -- one of the choice movement's largest and longest-running programs is being overlooked, if not forgotten.
Magnet schools started in the late 1960s as a means of complying with court-mandated desegregation orders. The resulting programmatic innovations prompted some parents to remain in large city districts rather than flee to the suburbs. Today, these schools have millions of alumni and twice the enrollment of charters.
Assessing the impact of magnet programs presents some methodological challenges, but the consensus of research suggests that students who attend magnets have higher achievement and are given the opportunity to learn in schools that are more racially diverse.
When schools, magnet or not, are diverse, a large body of research finds numerous academic, psychological, and social benefits for students and their communities. Additionally, social science evidence shows that fewer educational resources are associated with many segregated minority schools, which, not surprisingly, have higher dropout rates and lower rates of college attendance and completion.
Any system of choice in a stratified, unequal society like ours can further exacerbate inequality and segregation. In 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court limited the use of race in voluntary integration plans and invalidated one of the most common ways that districts create and maintain diverse schools.
The decision initially threw into question whether any race-conscious policies could be legal, although civil rights advocates believe that carefully constructed plans remain constitutional. Importantly, the lessons we have learned from magnet schools have implications for all districts interested in designing student assignment policies that pursue diversity in this era of decreasing legal flexibility, growing parent choice, and increasing racial diversity.

I have recently installed backtrack4 beta, it's all working good so far except I can't get it to connect to the internet / a network, it pings localhost ok, but when I start KNetworkManager, it says 'NetworkManager Not Running'. Have no idea what is wrong.
Any ideas?
Wow that was really. helpful. What was the purpose of having a forum again?
If you don't know the answer and aren't willing to help, your better off to just not say anything at all.
I mean, if it is so common and you can't be bothered to answer, why not link to a specific thread that covers the subject instead of a lame ass reply like linking to search.........
/etc/init.d/networking start
/etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
what is the difference, between them????????
with regards
Nirmal jose ;)
Hey guys, I am having a similar problem. I have googled everything, I have looked through so many forums my eyes hurt. I previously used backtrack 3 and I am familliar with it's wireless assistant. I recently downloaded a copy of BT4 iso, and first was running as a live cd, but decided to install to my HD. I aswell can not make the network manager start.
I have tried the /etc/init.d/networking start. I have tried /etc/init.d/networkmanager start. I have tried running it from "x" and nothing works. I have tried doing this from the live distro as well, thinking that could have something to do with it because everyone I read about on every forum either is using it on cd, usb, or Vmare.
Umm, I am not in BT4 right now, obvisously, or I wouldn't be able to get on here and post, but if I remember right, it says something about trying port, or interval, or something several times, but nothing happens. I know this is probably something very minor, and I know this is not a how to guide forum, but I am at my witts end here. I really have tried everything I can think of.
I know my wireless card is compatible because I can use it to crack my own wep key, just can't start a network.. Heck, can't even look at the available networks.
If you need the exact message I get when I try those commands, let me know, and I will hop back over into linux, and paste them in a txt file and put it on a thumb drive and bring it over to post. Just didn't want to waste my time with that if anyone knows a simple fix.
Thanks for your time guys.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/1/2013 (1664 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
With memories of a sumptuous fish soup in mind, I scheduled my visit to La Fiesta for the weekend, which was the only time it had been available. Was, alas, is the operative word, since it's no longer served, on any day of the week. But that was my only disappointment on a recent visit, and I did find consolation in the savoury chicken, chipotles and rice soup.
This isn't Mexican, or even Tex-Mex food. It's Salvadoran, and you don't come here for incendiary spices -- there aren't any. Some of the names may be the same, but this is a milder cuisine, more soul-satisfying and flavourful than many of the chili-powered dishes I've had elsewhere, and if you can't live without the heat, there's a bottle of hot sauce on every table. Prices have risen, inevitably, since my last visit five years ago, but not by much, and they still offer some of the town's better bargains.
Snacks and appetizers range from $2.75 to $3.50 each. I had my first ever pupusa in Fiesta's original hole-in-the-wall, on Sherbrook, and I have yet to find the equal anywhere of these delectable little cornmeal pancakes stuffed with cheese, beans, pork or a combination of all the above. The tiny tamales are soft and soothing, those filled with chicken and chickpeas steamed in a banana leaf, the slightly sweet ones with a corn filling in a corn husk. By contrast the enchiladas are crackling-crisp tortillas, topped by beef, coleslaw, beans or guacamole.
Single burritos can be ordered from $6.95 to $7.95, with vegetarian, beef or chicken fillings, or as oversized podorosas from $9.95 vegetarian to $12.95 with shrimp. There are also combination platters in dizzying variety, and I inevitably end up with the Signature Dinner for Two at $43.95, which takes the dither out of making choices.
It starts with tall glasses of wonderfully refreshing house-made fruit drinks -- fresh strawberry, in my case -- and goes on to a choice of salad or soup (salads are nice but the soups are better). Then come platters containing two tamales (one corn, one chicken), two beef enchiladas, two pupusas (one beef and cheese, the other pork and cheese) and two burritos (one chicken, the other beef). Also -- like the fruit drinks, a relatively new addition to the meal -- a massive and perfectly luscious meringue topped by either strawberries or blueberries and lashings of cream.
There are also a few weekend specials, and although the fish soup may have disappeared, a weekend visit is still worth it for the shrimp special at $18.95 -- enormous, plump, juicy and fragrant with garlic, including rice, salad, a corn flour tortilla and soup of the day.
There are the usual margaritas and sangrias but I always opt for one of the excellent Mexican beers (Dos Equis, por favor). The dining room is small and cramped, but with a warm and cheerful vibe. Dinner only, but the restaurant will be open Thursday to Saturday only from Jan. 30, Feb. 7 and Feb.13. Unless you get there when the doors open at 4 p.m., reservations are a must.
-- -- --
The Grove's entrees are few, but at least one of them -- the perfectly braised duck leg, garnished with a chunk of top-notch crispy pork belly -- is, at $20, one of the city's better buys. Most of the others go for $16, which buys a thick slice of haddock encased in golden brown batter (with chips and malt vinegar, of course), or a comforting lamb stew with potatoes, peas and carrots in brown gravy, or that pub classic of big, juicy bangers and mash (unsampled, but good on previous visits). Meat pies change daily, but I can't recommend the pie of my jour -- tender enough venison but tough chunks of kidney and hard carrot dice that tasted like an afterthought.
I don't usually include burgers or sandwiches in bargain columns, and at the Grove they cost $10 to $12. But they are truly meal-sized, and come with either a nice salad or a mini-mountain of excellent fries. The burgers are wonderful -- mouth-wateringly juicy, with a full beefy flavour and multiple toppings, and although I'm usually just a ketchup-and-relish person, I can't resist the Grove's opulent Dorchester, with sautéed onions, bacon, a fried egg and chimichurri sauce.
The lamb sarnie was lovely, too, heaped with slices of roast lamb, caramelized onions, arugula and crispy shallots, and drenched in brown gravy; it would have been lovelier still if it had been hot instead of tepid. The lightly curried Coronation chicken salad sandwich was packed so thick I got two lunches out of it.
The sticky pudding is good, albeit less sticky than it used to be, but the tangy lemon curd tart on a short crust is nothing short of glorious.
The lounge is usually packed, but the ambience in the dining room is spare, calm and cool. Reservations are accepted for groups of six or more only and, if there are only two of you, you may be told in mid-meal (as I was), that you'll have to give up your table in about half an hour to one of those groups. Bad form, and excusable only if you're told about it before you sit down. Service, otherwise, is friendly and efficient.

SAINT LEO, Fla. (February 29, 2012) - After coming off a statement victory against Florida Tech, Rollins was unable to squeeze by Saint Leo in overtime, Wednesday evening, falling 11-10.
The first half saw both teams start out hot offensivley with the Lions outscoring the Tars 5-3 in the first, but Rollins stormed back in the second, outpacing Saint Leo 5-2 to take a one goal lead to the break.
Coming out of the break both teams struggled to find the success they had in the first half, as both teams combined for five goals in the half. 60 minutes of action would not be enough to settle this rivalry and would require a four minute overtime to settle things.
Again through the first three minutes both teams played even, but neither team could find the back of the net until the Lions were attacking late in the overtime period. Chris Caiazza took a shot and found the back of the net with 48 seconds left in the period, giving Saint Leo their second victory of the season.
Offensively, Will Diamond, Stephen DeFlumeri and Jack Dever tallied two goals apiece for the Tars, while Connor Galvin, Chuck Magid, Oliver Moore and Taylor White all notched one goal apiece. James Libutti continued his productive play with a team-high two assists.
Andrew Sheerin played the whole game for the Tars, facing 26 shots and racking up 15 saves.
Four players did the bulk of the scoring for the Lions, with two players notching three goals and another two tallying two goals. Patrick Berry was the hero for the Lions as he collected 14 saves on 24 shots to preserve the conference victory.
Rollins will hit the road for a three-game roadtrip with visits to Wingate, Queens and Lees-McRae before heading home for a pair of games.

Equine Holiday Ride at The Woods
December 10th, 2010 |
A few of SMWC seniors line up to prepare for campus caroling.
At Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, traditions abound. Yet, none quite like the tradition of the annual Equine Holiday Ride that took place December 7, 2010. The seniors, faculty, staff and special guests of the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Department of Equine Studies ride majestic horses sang Christmas carols as they journey across the campus. Students and their horses were decorated in holiday garb. The public and the campus community are welcome to enjoy the sound of jingle bells, clip-clop of the horses hooves and Christmas carols to celebrate the season.
"The annual ride is a traditional way for our seniors to thank the campus for supporting them for four years while spreading Christmas cheer", said Stable Manager, Angie McMillian.
The Mari Hulman George School of Equine Studies, established in 1989 at the College is the only equine studies program in Indiana, and one of only 20 in the U.S. to offer a Bachelor of Science degree in equine studies. Three majors are available: Equine Studies (General), Equine Training and Instruction, and Equine Business Management. For more information, call 812-535-5106 or visit www.smwc.edu.

edlee - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkI have set up hpav for all my friends and family that were having issues streaming videos through wireless and where ethernet is not available, and it runs soo much more consisitent than wifi for streaming video. Reply
martin5000 - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - linkMy house was built in 1870, and for some reason they didn't think that 140 years later someone would be trying to use high speed internet through the house, so for ages I struggled with ugly cables everywhere, and then I got excited about wifi n, only to discover it was just as crap as g, with the connection constantly going down and absolutely horrific speeds.
Then I discovered homeplug or powerline or whatever its generic name is, and I now have a 500mb/s line with a 4 port hub at one end. It's genuinely been 100% reliable for about 2 years now. Reply
edlee - Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - linkAfter reading this article, I just sold all my netgear hpav 500 gear on ebay in anticipation of Hpav2. They claim multiple mimo and fatter channel bandwidth. Should be awesome. Reply
GTVic - Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - linkSo you now have no networking for up to a year? Are you waiting by the door? Reply
edlee - Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - linkI have backup networking, between wireless and Moca. Moca is better throughput than hpav, but with Moca I'm limited to coax outlets, which are not as common as electric plugs. Reply
