Flames NewsFlames Home > Women's Tennis Home > News
Q&A With Nicola Wellman
Under the direction of first year head coach Jeff Maren, the Liberty women's tennis team is having a strong season, posting a 10-7 (6-2 Big South) record overall. Throughout the 2013 season, LibertyFlames.com will provide a look at each of the Lady Flames' players.
Sophomore Nicola Wellman has emerged as one of Liberty's strongest players so far during the 2013 season. Wellman has a team-best 11-4 singles record, including a 7-1 mark in Big South Conference matches. The Spring Hill, Fla., native has been a versatile player for Coach Maren, earning starts in the No. 3, 4 and 5 positions.

From the Head Coach: "Nicola's commitment to improving her conditioning and mental strength has paid off as she is now playing at a very high level. She contributes to the team's success in both singles and doubles, but also helps to lead the team with her strong work ethic and determination to be the best that she can be. We are blessed to have her in our program!"

Heats Roger Mason Jr. victim of armed robbery in Miami
As frightening as it must have been Roger Mason Jr. can feel fortunate it didnt turn out worse.
The Miami Heat reserve and his sister were having dinner last Sunday after a Heat win at home when they and others in a Miami restaurant were robbed at gunpoint and his Rolex was stolen. NBCMiami.com has the details.
Miami Heat player Roger Mason Jr. and his sister were robbed at a Biscayne Boulevard restaurant Sunday night, but police said they recovered the NBA guards Rolex after a chase ended with the arrest of two suspects on Monday .
Shots were fired either inside or outside the restaurant but no one was hit, and the four suspects fled the scene, Burden said .
Rashaud Stroud, 32, and Steven Dawson, 30, are both charged with armed robbery with a firearm, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm while committing a felony, police said. Dawson is also charged with possession of stolen property. According to an arrest report, Stroud admitted to the robbery after his arrest.
Police are still looking for the other two believed to be involved in the crime. Masons sister had her purse stolen but it also was recovered, according to the report.
Mason signed as a free agent with the Heat just before the start of the season and played a limited role for Miami mostly off the bench. He has played just 70 minutes total this season (he started one game) and is averaging three points a game when he does play (shooting 31.3 percent). Hes the kind of veteran reserve the Heat like to keep on the roster feeling they can trust him during the season and maybe for a specific matchup in the playoffs.
Were just glad he wasnt injured. And getting the Rolex back is nice, too.

Virtual planning for school trips
May 29, 2012
This morning, as I was about to leave the house my Year 2 son reminded me he was going on a school trip to learn more about Mary Seacombe and Florence Nightingale. Sadly I had forgotten to put his packed lunch in a plastic carrier bag, but once that situation was remedied we were on our way.
As I was driving to the office I was reflecting on how schools manage the communication with parents about school trips, and was reminded of an excellent example of how one school engages with parents using Adobe Connect.
At Chalfonts Community College they use Adobe Connect to set up online meetings for parents to log into from wherever they are – be that at home or at work. The teacher leading that trip then runs through a presentation (sometimes with video) which covers everything parents need to know about the trip. Parents can even ask any questions they have throughout the session via the chat facility available with the software.
For more information on how Chalfonts is using Adobe Connect to plan for school trips, check out this SecEd article which was published last year:http://bit.ly/lGvp8F.

Comment on Chinese Packaging "Sheer Genius" by Night Youkai:
True when I see stuff like this I'm very grateful of the regulations that exist in my country.
I think we need more regulations to stop over use of shady ingredients and dishonest mechanics.
Night Youkai made other comments on this post:
- Chinese Packaging "Sheer Genius":
The other major ingredients are corn flour,wheat starch, and rice flour.
- Chinese Packaging "Sheer Genius":
Not water as it won't mix with gas and your car would stop running soon after putting it in but instead Ethanol. They'll sometimes try and sell E10 or even E15 as strait gas which is illegal.
- Chinese Packaging "Sheer Genius":
What for so you can make money smuggling in illegals?
- Chinese Packaging "Sheer Genius":
Yah I would be demanding my money back and would show the asshole the sandwich and tell him WTF is this shit you're obviously trying to screw people over. This is why we have the better business bureau in the US to try and stop these kind of shenanigans. I've gotten similar defective crap though nothing this bad but I did not just take it up the ass. I filed a complaint and either got a new item or my money back.
- Chinese Packaging "Sheer Genius":
An idiot with money that's who.

- PS4 Japan Sales = 320,000 "As Bad As The Vita!":
The hardware is mediocre except for the amount and speed of memory and they pushed to hard on useless social features so no one is impressed. I think the PS4 will still be mildly successful because everyone else screwed up worse but it likely will be much shorter lived then the PS1 PS2 and PS3.
- PS4 Japan Sales = 320,000 "As Bad As The Vita!":
@ Anon 03:45 I touched on the X86 thing they could have at least choose a good X86 architecture vs something so low end. Even an old Core 2 quad or quad core FX would beat it across the board when paired with a good graphics card. Heck some very fast clocked i3s duals probably are just as fast. From a hardware stand point they're not even trying.
- PS4 Japan Sales = 320,000 "As Bad As The Vita!":
Editing is broke The system should in theory be easy to crack then the PS3. But even PS2 emulation may be a difficult on the PS4 due to the use of 8 shit tier X86 cores vs four fast ones. The emulator would have to be fairly multithreaded like anything else on the console must be. There is Gaikai streaming but it's at best a half assed solution that would demand a fast connection and nearby servers to be useable plus the ridiculousness of paying for old games.
- PS4 Japan Sales = 320,000 "As Bad As The Vita!":
Most consoles don't need an internet connection to play single player games even Steam's off line mode is kinda crappy so you end up having to crack your steam games if you want to play them off line. BTW I covered to lack of backwards compatibility on the PS4. The fact they used 8 shit tier X86

The Double Two Company was founded in 1940 by Mr Isacc Donner and Mr Frank Myers to make and sell mens shirts. (Later he applied for a patent for collar attached mens shirts with a free spare collar and cuffs - hence the Brand name Double Two)
A small room on the fourth floor of a building in Kirkgate in Wakefield England was used as a factory and over a few years the partners bought up the whole building developing it into a large shirt factory. In 1963 Isaac Donners son Richard joined the business and then in 1995 Richards son John. Isaac Donner died in 2000. The company is still run by Richard and John making it a true family owned business with a long standing reputation for its style and quality clothing

A PAIR of teenagers who robbed a 14-year-old lad of his mobile phone at knifepoint have walked free from court.
Lewis Todd and a 16-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, targeted the boy as he left Burger King on Queens Drive.
And after the younger attacker produced the blade he told the boy to hand over his Blackberry to 18-year-old Todd, who warned him not to tell.
But despite reminding the robbers that the Government was considering jailing all knife offenders, a judge decided against custody.
Martin Steen, prosecuting, told Swindon Crown Court how the young victim had gone to the fast food joint on April 4 last year.
He said the 14-year-old was there with friends, where he was hoping to meet a girl, when Todd and the other boy arrived.
"He was invited by the two to go outside and smoke a spliff in the alleyway. He was concerned if he went out with the younger of them he might be robbed," he said.
Mr Steen said the victim phoned another friend to ask him to pick him up, but when he got outside he was pulled over by the 16-year-old.
"He was approached by the teenager who said to him 'Don't make it bate', in other words 'don't make it obvious'," he said.
"He said, 'Look at this' and he was able to see a knife in his right hand. It had a five-inch silver blade with a light brown handle.
"As a result of seeing the knife he gave up his phone, preferring the option to the possibility of being stabbed. He gave the phone to Mr Todd."
The victim went home and told his mother what had happened and the police were informed.
Todd, of Lansdowne Road, Old Town, and the 16-year-old, from Haydon End, each admitted robbery. The younger one also pleaded guilty to having a bladed article.
The case took so long to come to sentence because Todd only admitted his guilt on the day of trial.
The 16-year-old has a long list of previous convictions including taking part in another violent robbery when he was aged just 13. He was convicted of stealing jewellery worth £5,000 from his stepmother and selling it at a pawn shop.
Tony Bignall, for the younger defendant, said the community order suggested by probation "could be more onerous" than a short jail term.
Mike Pulsford, for Todd, said his client played a peripheral role in the robbery and had not been aware a knife would be involved.
He said he had turned his life around and conquered his drug problem and had started a carpentry apprenticeship.
Passing sentence Judge Tim Mousley QC said: "Thirteen months ago you two acting together robbed a young man.
"What makes this offence serious is the use of a knife. "It was held to his stomach and the younger of you demanded that he give you his phone. It was very serious."
"I don't know if you have heard what was in the news today, the Government have it in mind to impose immediate periods of custody when a knife is involved."
He imposed a 12-month youth rehabilitation order on the younger boy and put Todd on a 10-month jail term suspended for 18 months with supervision and 40 hours of unpaid work.

HOUSTON - From pizza to Mexican, fast food to an upscale River Oaks restaurant, we've got you covered in this week's Restaurant Report Card.
KPRC Local 2 consumer investigator Amy Davis is making the rounds, stopping by restaurants with the best and worst health inspections this week.
"Pho" is a kind of noodle made from rice, but at Pho 24 Café, 9750 Bellaire Blvd., it wasn't the noodles that made health inspectors' notes. It was the cockroaches. They wrote that they observed roaches on the wall by the meat slicer.
Pho 24 Café manager Giao Nguyen gave KPRC Local 2 an impromptu tour when we stopped by and even showed us the meat slicer mentioned in the report. We didn't see any roaches. Nguyen said it's because she now has the kitchen treated nightly.
"I don't want my customers to see that," said Nguyen. "I'm very sorry."
But maybe not as sorry as you'd be if you'd just ate at Wendy's at 5916 Richmond Ave. and then discovered that inspectors said they saw several roaches in the kitchen.
At Pink's Pizza at 710 West Gray, inspectors told employees to relocate hanging flying insect traps to protect clean equipment from contamination.
They might need some of those traps at Don Jose, 5305 Antoine, because inspectors said they saw fly activity in the cook line.
A roach crawling on the wall at Jackie's Kitchen, 2210 Mangum, got the restaurant written up.
At Cafe Ginger at 1952 West Gray, inspectors said an employee was handling raw beef and vegetables without washing his hands.
We never like to leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. Inspectors gave great scores to Antonio's Flying Pizza in the 2900 block of Hillcroft and the Mongolian Hot Pot in the 5900 block of Westheimer. That's why we give them both A's.
The health inspectors' findings at your favorite restaurant shouldn't be a surprise. In fact, a city ordinance requires every restaurant post its most recent health inspection somewhere inside the restaurant. That could be in the kitchen. If you want to see it, just ask.
If you have a news tip or question for KPRC Local 2 Investigates, drop them an e-mail or call their tipline at (713) 223-TIPS (8477). Copyright 2011 by Click2Houston.com. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Post-Game Quote Sheet: WNT 3, MEX 1
U.S. Women's National Team Quote Sheet
U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage
On the match:
"We saw Mexico play three days ago so we knew the formation, but they have a 12th player, and that's the crowd. It was absolutely wonderful. This is my first time here in Mexico with the U.S. team and that kind of crowd, I appreciate a lot. We knew there would be battles, a lot of one-v-one, and a technical Mexico team. So we needed to stay focused in defending and find the space outside their backs. We did a pretty good job at the end of the day."
On if she wanted to score more goals against Mexico:
"I'm not caught up in counting goals. In order to stay focused and respect the opponents, we look at the next game. We did our homework and scouted Mexico, and after the 90 minutes, there were so many good things, both technical and tactical, from this team."
On Abby Wambach scoring seconds after Mexico had tied the game:
"As you know, after you score, you are a bit vulnerable. It was good to take the lead going into halftime and it was good for Abby's confidence as well, so it was a big goal."
On coming through in front of such a big opposing crowd:
"It is very important…This is something we will remember and take to the next game. It's easy to knock it around and keep possession when it's not a big game. Today was a big game and I'm very happy with the way they kept possession."
On Mexico's improvement:
"I have not played against Mexico as the U.S. National Team coach before, this is my first time, but as the asst. coach for China, we played against Mexico half a year ago, and Mexico performed much better (today). I think they proved a lot."
On the USA's next opponent, Costa Rica:
"We watched Canada-Costa Rica just before our game. (Costa Rica) has some players that I think are very good. We have done our homework and we respect the way they play. We need to stay focused in defending and we also need to keep possession and find the rhythm, even though the game matters a lot. We have to have confidence to keep possession and penetrate at the right moment."
U.S. forward Natasha Kai
On the win:
"It's great for team. It gives us confidence going into our next match. The crowd was huge today. I don't think I've ever played in front of a crowd like that, but I think it pumped us up too. It was a great crowd."
On Abby Wambach scoring seconds after Mexico had tied the game:
"Abby's goal played a big part in our confidence, it gave us a boost and that third goal put us at ease, but we needed more. Coming into the second half, we were really composed, we played as a team and it took all 11 of us going forward for the entire 90 minutes and getting back on defense."
On if this was Mexico's best team yet:
"For sure. They are an awesome team. They are so great individually. Playing them today, they were a whole new team from playing them in October. If they play (against Canada) how they played against us today they are going to give Canada a run for their money. I hope they do well. They have a chance."
U.S. forward Abby Wambach
On her goal:
"The momentum started to shift for Mexico right after their goal and I knew that something had to be done right away in order to nullify that. I don't even know how long it was, maybe less a minute, but it was huge for a team, a big up-lifting moment for us. It gave us the confidence to finish up the rest of the half and the rest of the game."
"Up until that point in game, the momentum was kind of going both ways. We had a bit of the run, but I wasn't getting as involved as I should have so I needed to take more responsibility and it came at a great time. Kate (Markgraf) just played a great ball over the top."
On going into halftime with a 3-1 lead in front of the pro-Mexican crowd:
"To go into halftime 3-1 here in Mexico with the crowd as loud and as big as it was, what a great feeling. Pia was really proud of us and wanted us to keep up the good work and effort."
On the second half:
"The second half really showed what kind of team this can be. We really tried to keep possession as much as we could. We tried to dictate the tempo of the game. We didn't need many more goals, so we tried to keep possession a little bit more. A game like this does nothing but wonders for the younger players on this team as far as experience you gain from a game played in front of 22,000 people with your Olympics hopes on the line."
On the crowd:
"This is as hostile as environment as you can get. You can't replicate this."
On if Mexico is playing as well as they ever have:
"I think they are. They've got the personality players that they've always had, but I think they work very well as a team together. I think (Mexico head coach) Leo (Cuellar) has done a great job getting them to play more soccer, but when it comes down to it, I think the best team won today."
U.S. defender Rachel Buehler
On playing in front of 22,000 fans in her fifth cap:
"It was such an amazing experience. The crowd was phenomenal. It was so emotional and loud. It was awesome. I feel fortunate to get to play in a game like this. Everyone was cheering against, it was Mexico's home field, but you kind of take that cheering and pretend it's for you. You make it positive and go with it."
U.S. midfielder Heather O'Reilly
On the match:
"Obviously with 22,000 people screaming against us, our strength as a unit really showed through. People on the field, people on the bench, people coming off the bench as substitutes, everybody just pulled together and that's how we got the win today."
On playing in front of packed stadium:
"For the conditions that we were under today, I think we were very composed and showed a lot of growth as team today. I'm really proud of this whole entire unit."
On looking forward:
"We'll celebrate this game. It's worth celebrating. This was a great win for us. We'll really enjoy this game, then we'll regroup and focus on Costa Rica as that's obviously a must win for us."

Overview of Center City West
Center City West apartments may be the hottest commodities in Philadelphia. This is ground zero for upscale shopping, downtown dining, and city culture. From Center City West you can walk to work, stroll to museums, or find yourself a quiet spot in glorious Fairmont Park. What's not to like, you ask? Only the high rents! This is an affluent and attractive area, particularly around Rittenhouse Square.
Philadelphia was born over on the east side, alongside Old City's markets. In contrast, Center City West started out residential. Both wealthy businesspeople and members of the working class built homes here. In the 1950s, commerce crept over to this half of downtown. Even with encroaching capitalism, however, Center City West apartments remain desirable. Only now they're closer to boutiques, bars, and bistros.
Living in Center City West, Philadelphia
Center City West is known for its upscale shopping and museums. The Mutter Museum and the Franklin Institute are just two exhibition sites here, covering medical oddities and science respectively. You can check out the paintings in the Philadelphia Museum of Art or jog up the steps outside it like Stallone in "Rocky." There are fancy restaurants around, hip bars to be found, and even indie rock shows at the First Unitarian Church. Shopping in Center City West tends to be ritzier, but you can also find basics like furniture, flowers, and—at Trader Joe's—food.
If you want to spend some time in the sun, Center City West is just southeast of giant Fairmont Park. Rittenhouse Square is like an urban oasis. Schuylkill River Park may be new, but it's already proving to be popular.
Center City West, Philadelphia Info and the Rental Market
Center City West includes the high-rise towers around Rittenhouse Square as well as areas of single-family homes. Last century, there was urban blight here, but redevelopment has claimed another victory. You'll find blue-haired grannies, pierced punks, and heiresses all strolling these streets. Those that stay the night tend to be wealthier, however; the average two-bedroom Center City West apartment rents for $2,300 a month.
Public transportation from Center City West shouldn't be a problem. If you're not walking to work, you'll have your choice of SEPTA bus and trolley lines to ride.
Center City West, Philadelphia Resources
The Philadelphia City Institute Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia system is on Locust Street in Center City West. There's a United States Post Office on Chestnut Street. Center City West falls in City of Philadelphia City Council districts 2 and 5. On the eastern end of the neighborhood, you'll find Philadelphia City Hall, too.

Edit: Also, they should find some way to have it detect a chaos bolt about to land or somthing, or make the chaos bolt fly faster. It's pretty dumb when my teammate can chaos bolt fear conflag chaos bolt and have the guy die from like 60% when he's got a full set of malv/tyrannical.
Other than that, I would say the problem from fear stems with how most classes work now, for instance... Devouring Plague and such are hard hits and if the priest is smart will drop it on you when you have scurried like 30 yards away and do his burst, so the fear breaks with you at like 75% and taking insanity to the face.

Kind of a general reply to people in this thread:
1. Druids haven't had a Fear Immunity/Breaker since Berserk still granted Fear Immunity/Break. That change happened in the Cata pre-patch I believe. Even then only 1/3 Druid specs had the ability back then.
2. Druids can remove Hex since it's considered a curse (Poison+Curse baseline, +Magic as Resto). Wasn't aware that Paladins could remove curses as I thought they were just Poison+Disease (+Magic if Holy).
Was some other stuff but people already addressed them.
Of all classes, Hunters are the only ones lacking a reliable non-trinket fear breaker/preventer, and are the only ones doubly effected by it if BM.
That being said, Fear isnt broken. It just needs to have the glyph baked in and all will be well.
No need to have people zooming across the map, through walls, and under the world to their death by accident. In fact, ALL CC should no longer cause the target to move, polymorph and Scatter Shot included.

Fear breaks on damage, you just don't realize it because you don't see anything except the target's health bar wich you're tunneling, that's all, or because Affliction damage is pure garbage and it takes like 8 seconds (wich is how long Fear lasts) to actually hit the treshold.
Sure Fear is annoying when it bugs you through pillars or anything simillar, but a 9 page (so far) QQ thread about an ability wich is like the last issue in the current PvP state is pathetic... Them Warlocks dominating 3v3 bracket with their overpowered fears, overpowered damage and probably the best of all (lol OP) "OVERPOWERED TANKING ABILITIES".
Get a damn clue, people.

People are not complaining about it with Afflic locks. People are complaining about getting Devo Plague -> Instant Mind Blast -> Insanity'd and having it not break until the insanity starts, or Chaos bolt hitting you while feared and having it do 25% of your health.
You laugh about Lock tanking abilities, but DA locks are being used in some RBG teams right now, and will be the go to flag carrier next patch. What does a DA lock have to compare to prot classes?
Both have shield walls.
DA locks have self absorb shields = active mitigation
Plate armor + damage reduction(especially magic damage reduction, because most teams run 4-5 casters.)
Demonic Leap = Heroic Leap/Blink effect.
Demonic Circle (better than warrior mobility assuming you are in the base)
Locks have Dark Regen-> Health stone combo. Something like ~85% of your health + extra healing received.
Howl/Shadowfury = Shockwave
Burning Rush is arguably stronger than Charging, depending on the situation.
So yeah, overpowered tanking abilities. I understand they cannot do it while they do damage, but they ARE able to swap in and out of it and being a normal Demo Lock. They also reforge the same as a Destro Lock, so in non-FC maps they are stronger than a warrior by far.
As for 25%, it wasnt my number and i don't know what would suffice, i was just defending the crap you're pulling about scream being so OP compared to the normal fear.
Fury ward, a 70k absorb shield. While it only has a 10 sec cooldown, the downside is the ridiculous cost of 200 fury. With fury generation being highly dependent on landing spells and pet damage, it's fairly easy to cripple fury generation by simply killing the pet ( and imps ) and trowing stuns and silences on the warlock.
A DA warlock with no fury can't teleport away nor leap away, can't use his shield nor knock back/interrupt, no auras, no sleep... All these abilities cost fury, and all you need to do to stop it is quickly killing that pet (and imps) and preventing that warlock from casting too much, which is fairly easy if you are attacking with a group.
Also, dark regen + hearthstone combo, with a mortal strike effect up, is currently slightly less then 50% health, will be even less in 5.3.
As for the damage reduction, it's all fairly equal to warriors in defensive stance, death knights in blood presence, etc... In terms of magic damage reduction, they are below disc priests which have about 35% reduction.
So technically, DA warlocks work but once they get low on fury with their fury generation crippled they are useless.
The issue with fear is the movements when you get feared under water..it's so annoying. for example yesterday I was playing an RBG battle of Gilneas...I was fighting against a warlock 1 vs 1 in waterworks preventing him from capping the flag but then he feared me toward the water which my character run toward the water as if it was a land then when it break off I had to swim and jump which is way slower than running..which was already too late he capped the flag..(didn't have bubble or trinket since I used them against a mage earlier).
This is the problem with fear at the moment in my opinion.
How is fear stronger than instant stuns that do not break or pom poly's. Fears are annoying yes, but you actually need to be able to play to get em off against melee. Theres not many good locks left, if you think fears so bad go play a warlock now and youll go running back to your rogue or unholy dk in no time.
i've never had a problem with fear.. even on my rogue or feral. i know when its coming.. i know how to pre cloak it / shadow meld it, i know when to trink it and when not to, i know when its going to be DR'd.. etc etc. fear is never a surprise to me so its not frustrating. i think that's more the issue with most players and they're distorting the spell into this unstoppable cc atom-bomb out of ignorance when its not, it's really nothing to .... fear [ouch ].
can't wait to see more from this amazing thread.

Monessen Greyhounds rout Serra Catholic, 50-20
The Monessen Greyhounds (5-1, 5-1) jumped out to a quick 20-0 lead in the first quarter, and never looked back as they spoiled homecoming for the Serra Catholic Eagles (0-6, 0-6), 50-20.
Giving up 52.4 points per game this season, Serra had the task of keeping a red-hot Monessen offense off the field after a 28-21 win against Bishop Canevin last week.
"We wanted to try to control the ball and the clock this week", said Serra Catholic coach Jamie Eckels. "That's a tough team, and we knew we would have to execute to have a chance in this one."
Holding the high-powered Monessen offense to seven plays in the first half should have fit into those keys for success. Unfortunately for the Eagles, it came at the expense of their special teams.
After WVU commit Chavas Rawlins capped off an opening 70-yard drive for Monessen with an 11-yard touchdown pass to his brother, Justice Rawlins, the special teams stole the show.
RJ Small recovered an errant long snap in the end zone on the Eagles first offensive drive. On the ensuing drive Kayne Jackson blocked the Serra punt attempt and returned it 31 yards for the score.
"We played very well tonight on special teams", said Monessen coach Andy Pacak. "We were hustling to the ball, and we were able to take advantage of some young mistakes."
Down 20 points, the Eagles also were eager to take advantage of a mistake. Chavas Rawlins fumbled a snap on the Monessen 1-yard line, and Serra running back Za'Lamir Meador punched it in for their first points of the game.
Monessen came right back on their next play with a 51-yard touchdown run by Javon Brown. The Greyhounds left the throttle down forcing a three-and-out that led to their third special teams touchdown of the night on 69-yard punt return by Chavas Rawlins.
Under a running clock in the second half, Serra quarterback Zac Quattrone managed to run for more than 80 yards and two touchdowns against the Monessen second team.
"We have one senior and three juniors playing on this team. When they were matched against the younger guys on the Monessen squad in the second half they performed well," said Eckels. "We are young and have to continue to get experience and get better each week. That's our goal right now. Get better each week."
The test doesn't get any easier next week in the Black Hills Conference as they face Fort Cherry.
Monessen will take on Imani Christian Academy.
"Imani is beating up everybody they face," Pacak said after the game. "It's a tough, tough conference, and we are going to have to go back and work harder than ever to make sure we come out on top again next week."

A DISTINGUISHED Service Order awarded to an Accrington war hero after he masterminded the sinking of a German submarine in the First World War sold for £1,320 at an auction yesterday.
Along with Lieutenant Commander Percy Sutcliffe Peat's two other medals – a British War Medal and a Victory Medal – it sold for £320 more than it was expected to fetch.
In April 1918, 28-year-old Lt Cdr Peat was in command of a small fishing boat, which was part of a fleet of small craft carrying out an intensive counter movement to the German submarine menace, when he engaged a powerful undersea craft, sank it and took the crew of 36 prisoner.
A spokesman for auctioneer Bonhams said: "The drifter,which had a crew of 12, was armed with only a light gun, but Lt Cdr Peat took his ship into action with such skill that the gunner fought the submarine with great effect.
"The deadly marksmanship of the gunner backed up the good work of the bridge, completely defeating the enemy and eventually the submarine hoisted the white flag.
"The crew were taken on board the little drifter and the submarine foundered."
The Distinguished Service Order is awarded 'for distinguished services during active operationsagainst the enemy.' Lt Cdr Peat lived with his family in Blackburn Road.
He died aged 46, in 1936.

Welcome back to BracketRacket, your one-stop shopping place for all things NCAA on tournament game days. And away we go.
Dudes. Helicopter. Basketball. Rim, Need we say more?
Watch here: http://tnw.co/zGFMKL
One more thing, actually. The shot traveled 192 feet. Using the college arc and calculating three points for every 20 feet, 9 inches, that makes it a 27-pointer -- plus change.
Something that won't stay in Vegas for long: the title of "World's Largest NCAA Bracket."
The bugs were still being ironed out at press time. But it's designed to display the bracket on the underside of a 1,500-foot by 90-foot canopy that covers a downtown street between casinos, apparently because there never seem to be enough scoreboards in Vegas when you really need one.
Anyway, check out the story and photo in the Las Vegas Review-Journal: http://bit.ly/AzlDq1
And do it before the sheiks in Dubai get wind of this and begin construction on a bigger one. They don't play a lot of hoops over there, but they are very, very competitive that way.
Bruce Hornsby told AP's Will Graves after UNC-Asheville almost toppled Syracuse in Pittsburgh that he's just another Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter who wishes he was a better baller. Think Kanye West, or Nelly, but with fewer tattoos and radically different tastes in music. Best known for the 1980s easy-listening hit "The Way It Is," Hornsby is taller than you'd think seeing him on TV -- 6-foot-4, though at age 57, he insists he's "shrinking" -- and knows his way around a court better than you'd ever guess.
He turned down a basketball scholarship at Randolph-Macon to play piano, eventually graduated from Miami (Fla.), and roots for UNC-Asheville because his son, Keith, chose the fork in the road that dad bypassed and plays shooting guard there. Funny how things worked out.
"This is a new thing for our family," Hornsby said, clad in Bulldog blue. "There's never been an athlete at this level in this branch of the family."
The old man knew that when Keith finally smoked him one-on-one as a ninth-grader, despite plenty of smack.
"And I talk," Hornsby said, laughing, "like you wouldn't believe."
No shortage of mad skills for our second alum. Stephen Curry can play with anyone. Back in his college days at tiny Davidson, Curry led the nation in scoring, was a consensus All-America pick and likely to ring up 30 points or more on tournament nights. He single-handedly carried the Wildcats to the threshold of the 2008 Final Four before they were knocked out by eventual champion Kansas.
His NBA career has been slightly less eventful. Taken at No. 7 in the 2009 NBA draft by Golden State, Curry averaged 18 points per game in his first two full seasons. He was rehabbing a troublesome right ankle at the Warriors' practice facility on the other side of the country when AP's Janie McCauley caught up with him after Davidson made its exit Thursday night courtesy of Louisville, 69-62. Despite both setbacks, Curry was in a good mood because his loyalties were no longer divided. Younger brother Seth plays for Duke.
"I told him to just have fun. It goes by pretty fast," Curry said. "You've got to enjoy the experience and the time, but obviously you've got to take advantage of the moment and play your best. ... His redshirt year, he was a practice all-star. He was the best player on every opposing team and they had to try to stop him."
Not an easy task, since few families work on creating their own shots as early the Curry's. Dell, their dad, played in the NBA for 18 years and mom Sonya was a volleyball standout with a wingspan that made her a threat to block shots from almost anywhere on the family's driveway.
Xavier is back in the spotlight, this time as AP college basketball writer Jim O'Connell points out, for the right reasons. He thinks the 10th-seeded Musketeers will be there a while longer, too.
They face No. 7 Notre Dame in a matchup of Midwestern Catholic schools, so naturally they're meeting in Greensboro, N.C. Xavier was ranked No. 8 in all the land when the Musketeers got into an ugly brawl with crosstown rival Cincinnati in December and lost five of their next six. But Xavier closed strong, winning four of five and scoring more than 70 points three times in the run. The Irish, meanwhile, are struggling lately. They've failed to score 60 points in four of their last five, including just 41 in an 18-point loss to Georgetown. As O'Connell put it, "shooting like that will have a coach lighting candles at the Grotto."
He's picking Xavier in a mild upset. He also likes old age and treachery to prevail in another mild upset -- taking No. 9 Saint Louis over No. 8 Memphis. Billycans coach Rick Majeure, who's in his 25th season, took Utah to the national title game in 1998 and has clipboards older than Bruce Partner, who is 34 and in his third season with the Tigers. Not surprising, they approach the game differently, too. O'Connell thinks the wily Majeure can steal this one with a defense designed to gum up the Tigers' freewheeling attack.
No. 2 seed Missouri is a popular pick to displace one of the four No. 1s at the Final Four -- and with good reason. The Tigers convert possessions into points better than any team in the country, averaging 1.2555 every time they bring the ball up the court, according to STATS LLC. That's important because four of the last six national champions have come into the tournament ranked first or second in that department and a fifth -- the 2010 titlists from Duke -- were sixth. The outlier? UConn, which won last season despite ranking 43rd.
"Because God is a Gael," Washington Nationals utility man Mark Teahen, who's played seven years in the major leagues with the Royals, White Sox and Blue Jays, explaining his pick of his alma mater, Saint Mary's, over Purdue.
"WOW these officials in the Syracuse game clearly have money on Syracuse. Terrible," tweeted NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin.
Sounds like his money was on UNC-Asheville.

Photo Flash: Adam Jacobs and More Kick Off Rehearsals for Alliance Theatre's ZORRO!
ZORRO tells the story of Diego de la Vega, the man behind the masked outlaw fighting to restore order in Spanish colonial California. When Diego returns home from Spain, he discovers his father is dead and his brother is running Los Angeles... badly. Diego must resort to extreme measures to free the people from his brother's oppressive rule without being discovered. The theatrical origin story of this legendary hero is told through the lens of flamenco culture.
ZORRO's creative team is led by Tony nominated Director Christopher Renshaw (Taboo; The King and I), who has been involved with the production since its inception in 2001. "The production is full of special effects, sword fighting, stunts and magic," said Renshaw. "And all these elements are steeped in the passionate, earthy and sexually charged world of flamenco."
This musical production of ZORRO consists of more than twenty songs by flamenco-rumba icons The Gipsy Kings and Tony Award winner John Cameron (LES MISERABLES), including Gipsy Kings favorites "Bamboleo" and "Djobi Djobi," as well as new musical numbers created for the show. Music Director Fred Lassen (South Pacific) will lead an ensemble of live musicians who will accompany the production each performance.
Leading the cast in the role of Diego de la Vega/Zorro is Broadway veteran Adam Jacobs (The Lion King; LES MISERABLES). Also joining the cast in principle roles - Nicholas Carrière (The Lion King National Tour) as Ramon; Natascia Diaz (Man of La Mancha; Carousel) as Inez; Andrea Goss (Once; Rent) as Luisa; Benjamin Harding as Young Ramon; Mark Kincaid as Alejandro de la Vega; Royce Mann as Young Diego; Eliseo N. Roman (Leap of Faith; In the Heights) as Sergeant Garcia; and Mary Stewart Sullivan as Young Luisa.
The ensemble actors in ZORRO are among the best flamenco dancers and performers in the country and include Dance Captain Sara Erde (The Metropolitan Opera - Carmen; La Traviata); flamenco dancer Glenda Sol Koeraus (The Metropolitan Opera -La Traviata); flamenco dancer Peter Suarez; and flamenco guitarist Cristian Puig. The dancers will be guided by Choreographer Rafael Amargo and Flamenco Consultant Saulo Garrido.
The ALLIANCE THEATRE is located at the Woodruff Arts Center, 1280 Peachtree Street, NE, Atlanta, GA. For tickets and more about the show, visit alliancetheatre.org/zorro.

It goes without saying that one loss in October hardly qualifies as "adversity," a word that hockey teams love to throw around at various points in the season.
Adversity — real adversity — is a losing streak, or multiple injuries, or some other outside factor. Adversity, for instance, is what a team like Avangard Omsk faces right now, although that situation ventures closer to outright horror.
But the Rangers even in dropping one measly game to Buffalo do have a chance to show how they respond to an off night when they face the Leafs at the Garden. If one loss becomes two, then you can say the team has finally returned to reality after its brilliant start. If tonight ends in a win, then Wednesday may prove to be a mere pebble on the road.
It's all about how you frame it, and already Tom Renney has made clear "he's not going to make any drastic changes":http://www.lohud.com/article/20081017/SPORTS01/810170380/-1/SPORTS (other than maybe Stephen Valiquette in net). Nor should he. In fact, the one line that has been subject to the most changes of late, the third unit, was actually halfway decent Wednesday, so I'd like to see the same personnel employed for at least one more game.
Again, though, I don't get a vote, which really irks me…

text: To most Americans, he was the eternal Crooner: a much celebrated and beloved performer of unparalleled popularity. Yet Bing CROSBY was far more than that: He was an architect of 20th century entertainment, a force in the development of three industries that didn't exist when he came into the world: recordings, motion pictures, and broadcasting. As the most successful recording artist of all time; an abiding star of movies, radio, and television; and a firm believer in the wonders of technology, he helped to transform and define the cultural life not only of the United States, but of the world. When Harry Lillis CROSBY was born, on 03rd May 1903, to a working-class Catholic Irish-Anglo family with deep roots in the American Northwest, there was little reason to think he would amount to much. (It should be noted that Bing CROSBY had no birth certificate and that his birth date was shrouded in mystery until his childhood Roman Catholic church in Tacoma, Washington, released the baptismal records that revealed his date of birth). Though an obviously intelligent and conscientious student, his primary interests were sports (he won many swimming medals), school plays, and music--he played drums (not very well), sang, and whistled. At the Jesuit-run Gonzaga University, he decided to study law because he could think of nothing better at the time and it pleased his parents. He left law school two months before graduating. Music lured him away. It had always been part of the CROSBY household. His father, who played mandolin, led the family in song and bought one of the first phonographs in Spokane, Washington. Harry was the fourth of seven siblings. Nicknamed Bing for his love of a newspaper parody, "The Bingville Bugle," he listened to everything; he attended the vaudeville shows that came through town, regaling his friends afterward with detailed accountings of each act. He landed a backstage job when the legendary Al JOLSON performed in Spokane, and studied his every gesture from the wings. A younger boy named Al RINKER sealed Bing's fate, asking him to play drums in his five-piece dance band. When the other fellows in the group, the Musicaladers, heard him sing, they didn't much care how he played the drums. Even at that age, Bing had a mellifluous, solid baritone with good range, a steady sense of time, and a casual charm. With his uncanny memory, Bing could learn songs after hearing them once, though he never learned to read music. After the band broke up, Bing worked locally with RINKER, who accompanied him on piano. In 1925, Al suggested that they pool their funds and drive a broken-down flivver to Los Angeles, where his sister--the not-yet-celebrated jazz singer Mildred BAILEY--might get them a job. She got them an audition, which was all they needed. Bing and Al toured in one vaudeville show after another, up and down the West Coast, until a couple of musicians from Paul WHITEMAN's band chanced to hear them. Within a year after leaving Spokane, CROSBY and RINKER were under contract to the most famous orchestra in the country. They were on their way to New York. Despite a few setbacks and a too-eager embrace of big city temptations, Bing refined his style. He was inspired by his idol and lifelong friend, Louis ARMSTRONG. WHITEMAN teamed Bing and Al with a pianist and songwriter, Harry BARRIS, calling them the Rhythm Boys: They became the first successful jazz vocal group. Yet it was CROSBY's way with a song that most impressed WHITEMAN's arrangers and musicians, who lobbied for more Bing solos. The word was out: Bing brought something new to American song: rhythmic excitement, virile authority, emotional candour. The best jazz musicians of the day accepted him as one of them. He recorded with Bix BEIDERBECKE and Duke ELLINGTON. Soon, every major American songwriter, among them Irving BERLIN, Cole PORTER, Hoagy CARMICHAEL, Johnny MERCER, Jimmy VanHEUSEN, and Johnny BURKE, were writing songs for him. Within a few years, the Rhythm Boys left WHITEMAN. Then Bing left the Rhythm Boys. Working in nightclubs and headlining in theaters, Bing was the first vocalist to use the microphone as an instrument, enabling him to communicate subtle emotions and musical nuance. When he appeared at the Coconut Grove, the movie community flocked to hear him. Producer Mack SENNETT hired him to make a series of comedy shorts. William PALEY, of the fledgling CBS network, gave him a daily radio show. Paramount Pictures brought him to Hollywood to star in The Big Broadcast; the studio quickly signed him to a three-picture deal that grew into a 20-year association. Meanwhile, record executive Jack KAPP, using Bing's loyalty to him as a come-on, found backing to start his own company, Decca, which saved the then moribund industry by lowering the price of records. KAPP convinced Bing that he was more than a jazz or ballad singer, encouraging him to sing every kind of song and positioning him as the voice of America--home grown, unaffected, unassuming, and irresistible. Bing's popularity really took off a year later, when NBC asked him to take over its faltering program, Kraft Music Hall. Bing turned it into the archetypal broadcast variety show, a template still in use today. The public and critics loved him. At a time when radio was dominated by schooled, oratorical voices, Bing sounded like the guy next door. People trusted him: Instead of pandering to the presumed tastes of the masses, Bing combined pop, jazz, opera, and classical music. He was as much admired for his unique brand of slang, offbeat sense of humour, and unruffled disposition as for his singing. In the dark days of the Depression, Bing incarnated a beacon of optimism. He became still more of a national force during World War II, touring at home and abroad, making a record number of V-Discs, selling a record number of war bonds, personally answering thousands of letters from servicemen and their families. Bing's radio show regularly attracted an audience of 50 million--an unheard of number. He initiated the Road movies, with Bob HOPE, one of the most durable, profitable, and imitated comedy series in film history. In 1944, Bing won an Academy Award for his performance as Father O'MALLEY in Leo McCAREY's Going My Way. At the end of the war, an army poll declared him the individual who had done the most to boost wartime morale. The postwar years represented the peak of Bing's success. Between 1946 and 1948, he revolutionized the entertainment industry. Having recorded shows on transcription discs for soldiers, he now insisted on prerecording his radio show. In those days, all radio programs were recorded live and NBC took him to court. Bing won and moved to ABC, an also-ran network that, thanks to Bing, now became a major competitor. After he produced the first prerecorded radio series, other entertainers quickly followed suit. Billboard called Bing's gamble the most important show business story since the invention of talking pictures. But Bing realized that transcribed sound (recorded on large lacquered discs) was not as good as live recording. When he heard about a former army engineer, John MULLIN, who was experimenting with tape-based recording, Bing offered to sponsor him. Using the early tape machines, he converted his studio to tape, allowing him to record and edit his program. As he and his engineer experimented with the new medium, they introduced such broadcasting devices as canned laughter and applause. The entire business followed his lead in turning to tape, which remained the industry standard until the advent of digitalisation nearly 35 years later. Bing continued to make hit records and movies into the 1960s, at which time he began to slow down, reserving most of his work for television, including a series of variety specials, frequent appearances as host of The Hollywood Palace, television movies, and an annual Christmas show that became a national tradition. He spent more time on the golf course and the track, two sports he helped pioneer by creating the first celebrity pro-am golf tournament and taking the lead in building the Del Mar racetrack. Bing's first wife, Dixie LEE, the mother of his first four sons, died in 1952. During the next few years, he was regularly gossiped about in newspaper columns as he romanced several of Hollywood's most beautiful women. In 1957, he married Kathryn GRANT, a young actress and singer he had met on the Paramount lot. Together they had two sons and a daughter. The CROSBY family became the focus of his Christmas program, and of his historic return to the stage, in 1976, touring Los Angeles, New York, London, Oslo, and elsewhere. When he died on a golf course in Madrid, on 14th Oct 1977, he was mourned the world over. On that day, Major League Baseball honoured him by pausing for a moment of silence at the start of the World Series game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees. No other entertainer has ever won the hearts of so many and held them for so long.

From the Rangers:
Expected to be out of the lineup for four to six weeks
New York, December 30, 2010 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that Erik Christensen has suffered a second degree sprain to the medial collateral ligament in his right knee, and will be sidelined four to six weeks.
Christensen was examined by Dr. Anthony Maddalo and had an MRI performed earlier today. He sustained the injury during a 3-1 win at New Jersey last night. Christensen has registered six goals and eight assists for 14 points, along with 12 penalty minutes in 37 games this season.

A group of friends, who have not seen each other for a long time, met in their favorite restaurant one early morning.
ASTAIRE, the biggest in the group, remarked, "Must have been millions of years since we were together. "AFFLECK, the one wearing elephant pants, nodded in agreement. ANTHONY kept on complaining about the extremely cold weather back home. EUGENE, who was from the mainland, was needling SAMPRAS and NAMIER. "These neighbors are inseparable." AUSTIN, the smallest, invited everybody to his cattle farm.
The waitress, who was patiently waiting for the orders, said to herself, "Kinda strange, but these guests remind me of something." She then said," May I suggest BREAD ROLLS, JAM, BUTTER, SLICES OF CHEESE, FRUIT JUICE, and COFFEE or TEA ?"
QUESTION: What was in the mind of the waitress?
HintReview the guest list.
AnswerThe seven CONTINENTS.
The first 2,3 or 4 letters in the names of her guests are the same first 2,3 or 4 letters of the continents.
AStaire for the BIGGEST continent, ASia.
AFfleck for the other continent where ELEPHANTS are found, AFrica.
ANThony for the cold continent ANTarctica.
EUgene for EUrope. CONTINENTAL is used to refer to mainland Europe.
The NEIGHBORS, SAMpras and NAMier for S. AMerica and N.AMerica, respectively.
AUSTin for the smallest continent AUSTralia which is known for its CATTLE, among others.
It is said that MILLIONS OF YEARS ago, the continents formed one land mass. IT HAS BEEN A WHILE.
A light breakfast of ROLLS, JAM, BUTTER, SLICES OF CHEESE, FRUIT JUICE, and COFFEE or TEA is called a CONTINENTAL Breakfast.

Programmatically controlling the cloud is an important part of trying to reign in the chaos of disparate tools that the beancounters make us use these days. Of all the companies out there, Microsoft seems to understand this about as well as anyone and their fine programmers have provided us with a nice set of tools to manage Office 365 accounts, both in a browser (as with most cloud services) and in a shell (which is what we'll talk about in this article).
This article isn't really about scripting PowerShell. Instead we're just looking at a workflow that could be used to script a Student Information System, HRIS solution or another tool that has thousands of users in it to communicate with Microsoft's 365 cloud offering, providing access to Exchange, Lync, Access, Unified Messaging and of course, minesweeper. Wait, before you get carried away, I still haven't found a way to access minesweeper through PowerShell… Sorry…
In order to manage Office 365 objects, you will first need to import the MSOnline module (e.g. of cmdlets) and then connect to an account with administrative access to an Office365 environment. To import the cmdlets, use the Import-Module cmdlet, indicating the module to import is MSOnline:
Import-Module MSOnline
The Get-Credential cmdlet informs you what account you are currently signed in as. Once you have imported the appropriate cmdlets, connect to MS Online using the Connect-MsolService cmdlet with no operators, as follows:
You will then be prompted for a valid Live username and password. The Connect-MsolService cmdlet also supports a -Credential operator (Connect-MsolService –Credential) which allows for injecting authentication information into the command in a script. Next, setup a domain using New-MsolDomain along with the -Name operator followed by the name of the domain to use with Office 365:
New-MsolDomain -Name krypted.com
The output would appear as follows, indicating that the domain is not yet verified:
Name Status Authentication
krypted.com Unverified Managed
Once created, in order to complete that you are authoritative for the domain, build a text record in the DNS for the authoritative name server for the domain. To see what the text record should include, run Get-MsolDomainVerificationDns:
Get-MsolDomainVerificationDns -DomainName krypted.com -Mode dnstxtrecord
The output would appear as follows:
Label : deploymsonline.com
Text : MS=ms123456789
Ttl : 3600
Once the domain name shows as verified, you need to confirm it, done using Confirm-MsolDomain:
Confirm-MSolDomain -DomainName krypted.com
you can create a user within the domain. To see account information, use the Get-MsolUser cmdlet with no operators:
To create an account, use the New-MsolUser cmdlet. This requires four attributes for the account being created: UserPrincipalName, DisplayName, FirstName and LastName. These are operators for the command as follows, creating an account called Charles Edge with a display name of Charles Edge and an email address of email@example.com:
New-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName "email@example.com" -DisplayName "Charles Edge" -FirstName "Charles" -LastName "Edge"
Other attributes can be included as well, or you can use a csv file to import accounts. Once created, you can use the Set-MSolUserPassword cmdlet to configure a password, identifying the principal with -userPrincipalName and the new password quoted with -NewPassword. I also elected to not make the user change their password at next login (through the web portal users have to reset their password and they're randomly generated, so this is much more traditionally equivalent to what we've done in Active Directory Users and Computers):
Set-MsolUserPassword -userPrincipalName firstname.lastname@example.com -NewPassword "reamde" -ForceChangePassword False
We can also use Set-MsolPasswordPolicy to change the password policy, although here we'll use Set-MsolUser for the account so that the password never expires:
Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName firstname.lastname@example.com -PasswordNeverExpires True
Also, you could use Set-MailboxPermission to configure permissions on mailboxes. I've also found that Get-MsolAccountSku is helpful to get information about the actual account I'm logged in as and while I'm waiting for a domain to verify that I can use Get-MsolDomain to see the status. Once the domain is accepted, Get-AcceptedDomain shows information about the domain. Set-MsolUserLicense can be used to manage who gets what license.
Finally, all of this could be strung together into a subsystem by any organization to centrally bulk import and manage delegated domains in an Office365 environment. There are going to be certain areas where human intervention is required but overall, most of the process can be automated, and once automated, monitoring the status (e.g. number of accounts, etc) can also be automated, providing a clear and easy strategy for 3rd party toolsets to be integrated with the Office 365 service that Microsoft is providing. It is a new world, this cloud thing, but it sure seems a lot like the old world where we built middleware to do the repetitive parts of our jobs… Just so happens we're tapping into their infrastructure rather than our own…

Catherine Ashton, the European Union's foreign policy chief, has long endured a mixed press in Britain for the way she handles her considerable portfolio.
But it would be wrong not to note the genuine plaudits she received from a number of diplomats over the weekend for the way she managed Saturday's talks between Iran and world powers in Istanbul.
As co-ordinator of the six powers which negotiate with Iran over its nuclear programme (the US, UK, France, Germany, Russia and China), Ashton has a difficult role.
These six countries have long had differing views over how to treat Iran's nuclear ambitions. Read more

Glad that you are thinking about the course.
It is the best way to get a good overview of the penetration testing world, which tools are used and how to find your way around.
If you know one programming language you shouldn't have a too hard time to adopt to a new language. Especially Python isn't too heard to learn if you already know Perl,C,Java.
One thing you definately need is a strong will to learn and to not give up if you hit a roadblock. You will not be entirely spoonfed and have to do some research on your own which is pretty good.
So I think it wouldn't hurt to start taking the course.

Destan TV, August 05, 2008
Adnan Oktar: Turkey is a faithful nation. Turkish nation has faith. This is going to be seen more clearly in the future. Turkish nation is going back to its roots, Insha'Allah. Turkey will be a super nation. Turkish Islamic Union will emerge, Insha'Allah. Turkey will act as a big brother through the region. Under the moral leadership of Turkey, the region will succeed in achieving relief and peace long sought for. There will be a severe progress in economical, physical, moral and cultural terms and an immense civilization will arise.
Al Baghdadia TV, June 29 2008
Adnan Oktar: Acting together, becoming brothers and sisters and gathering around one leader is a religious duty required for all Muslims, which is commanded by Allah in the Qur'an… Muslims will fulfill this duty. That's why I am expressing that let's form a Turkic Islamic Union under the leadership of Turks, Turkish Nation. Let each state keep their national identity and be free, but let one spiritual leader be the head of them.Since the Christians have a moral leader, the Pope, it is necessary for Muslims to have a moral leader as well. If this moral union owns a leader, this anarchy and disorder will come to an end. In that case, if any Muslim living in any corner of the world gets hurt on his fingertip, all the Muslims would act together and stop the incidence. But if Muslims live separately as it is now and become accessible to the politics of 'split and swallow', of course it is easy to swallow the small pieces. However it is out of question to swallow a huge block of Muslim world. Hence, the Muslims need to fulfill this religious obligation at once.
Vakit, June 26, 2010
Renown Islamic Scholar Yusuf El- Karadavi: "Turkey is the Leader Country"
We Muslims recognize the Republic of Turkey as a leader. We support Turkey and supporting Turkey is obligatory indeed" said Karadavi, expressing that Turkey has made progress in all areas. Yusuf El-Karadavi has also explained that Islamic world is indeed a huge power with a population of 1580 million. He has also issued a call to the Islamic world, featuring 6 clauses and emphasized the union.

Wright gets planned cortisone shot for shoulder
NEW YORK -- David Wright gave no indication on the field Sunday that his left shoulder is still bothering him, as he doubled twice, drove in a pair of runs and even robbed Miami's Donovan Solano of a single in the eighth inning with a diving stop.
After the game, though, the Mets' captain received a cortisone shot in that shoulder, which caused him to miss eight games June 27-July 4 with what the team called a bruised rotator cuff.
"It was planned," Wright said of the shot. "They wanted to see how it went these last 10 days, and hopefully it'll help out with the break."
Between returning last weekend and getting the shot Sunday afternoon, Wright swung the bat as well as he has at any point this season. He batted .364 with a .447 on-base percentage, plus two homers, four doubles and seven RBIs in nine games.
"I think it was the fact that his shoulder feels better and the fact he had [eight] days' rest," said manager Terry Collins. "These guys play tired, they play every day tired. And when you get a few days where you can get your energy back, it's a big difference.
"When he got back, I bet his shoulder is not 100 percent. ... The way he plays, it's going to continue to be aggravated a little bit, but I think the rest helped him. He's starting to swing the bat like we know he can."
The cortisone shot should ease that aggravation. It's well timed, too, since Wright has four days off during the All-Star break to let it take effect. Players typically need a couple of down days upon receiving the shot.
That fact that Wright got that treatment, though, indicates the shoulder is indeed a work in progress. Not that he wants to talk about it.
"Enough about the shoulder," Wright told curious reporters. "If you guys have baseball questions, we'll talk baseball questions. But the shoulder is not an issue."

The WCL Externship Fair
Thursday, January 21, 2010
The annual Externship Fair provides an opportunity for students to meet with a wide variety of employers offering externships, gather information, network, and participate in informal interviews. The Externship Program places hundreds of students each year in unpaid externships with government agencies, not-for-profit organizations, courts, and law firms engaged in pro bono work. Students receive academic credit for performing substantive legal work under the supervision of an attorney, while the organizations benefit from the services of externs who commit to working for the semester. All students who participate in the Externship Program must enroll in a related seminar and are closely supervised by law school faculty, who oversee their work during the summer, fall, or spring semesters. Last year, over 300 students and over 160 attorneys representing more than 130 employers participated in the Externship Fair, and many organizations were able to complete their summer recruitment in this relaxed environment. Past participants include numerous divisions of the U.S. Department of Justice and other government agencies, DC, Virginia, and Maryland Public Defender Services, and public interest organizations such as the ACLU and the Legal Aid Society. The Externship Program will host a reception immediately following the Fair to thank employers for participating.

he American "canon wars" raged during the 1980s. These wars pitted critics who wanted to conserve the established canon of works -- the "classics" -- against those who argued for a more "representative" canon, including more women and "minority" authors and a more diverse genre mix. Spirited skirmishes continue today in literature classes, libraries, bookstores, publishing houses, board of education meetings, and even in political debates. Though these debates may seem to be late 20th- early 21st-century phenomena, heated discussions about which works of American literature should be studied and passed on to the next generation have raged since at least the early 19th century.
Our collection of more than 100 tables of contents-- supplemented by selected covers and prefaces-- reproduced from anthologies and selected histories offers a convenient window to the history of literary canon formation in the United States from 1829 to the present. We hope that the collection will benefit scholars, teachers, and students of American literature and culture, as well as academic administrators, librarians, book dealers, publishers, members of boards of education, politicians, and anyone curious about how American arbiters of culture attempt to profile America by gathering, organizing, and defining selections from our literary heritage.

Interesting commentary from around the Web on the tech story that made headlines this week.
Only a lucky group of applicants was selected to participate in testing the Explorer version of Google Glass. As early reviews started to trickle out this week, so too did a growing backlash against the "glassholes".
While the elite of the tech world may be smitten – like Robert Scoble, who wrote he's never taking his Google Glass off – others weren't as easily impressed by the breakthrough in wearable computing, comparing it to overhyped tech toys such as the Segway and pocket protectors. Read more
