Women who begin drinking tea at a young age and drink the beverage more often are less likely to get the disease, which affects around 7,000 Britons a year.
The results of the study were published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology and have been welcomed by the Tea Advisory Panel.
Health experts conducted a two-year study of 1,000 women with an average age of 59, half of which were diagnosed with ovarian cancer, while a controlled group of 500 were free of the disease.
They were questioned about their tea drinking habits from how often they made a cup, what kind of tea they drank and when they first started.
The researchers discovered that the women without cancer were more likely to be tea drinkers from an earlier age than those diagnosed with the illness.
But even within tea drinkers in both groups, those who did not have cancer had been drinking tea for longer and, on average, consumed more cups a day than the others.
Researchers from the School of Public Health, Curtin University in Perth, Australia, carried out the study on 1,000 women living in southern China.
Of the two groups, 79 per cent of women not diagnosed with cancer were tea drinkers compared to 51 per cent who have or have had the disease.
They found that flavonoids, powerful compounds with strong disease-fighting properties, were found in black tea in particular.
Previous studies have suggested that adding milk does not weaken their effect.
Study co-author Dr Andy Lee said: "Tea is a safe and inexpensive beverage. Its consumption should be encouraged because of the potential benefit in preventing this common and deadly disease for women."
Dr Catherine Hood, of the Tea Advisory Panel, said studies had shown that flavonoids have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and reduce the growth of body cells.
"Overall this new study adds to the evidence base linking tea consumption with reduced risk of ovarian cancer," she said.
"This is good news for British women among whom tea is a very popular beverage."
The study suggests it is not just the occasional cuppa that might help but a long term habit of drinking four or more cups a day.
It shows almost 40 per cent of the non-diagnosed women drank four or more cups a day compared with 22 per cent of the other group.
They were also more likely to have been drinking tea for longer – an average of 22.7 years for the non-diagnosed group compared to 18.3 years the others.

UCMR: Monitoring Unregulated Contaminants in Drinking Water
Following a Congressional mandate, the EPA periodically requires public water systems (PWSs) to monitor for potential contaminants that are not regulated by national primary drinking water regulations.
This EPA program is called Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation (UCMR). In its second cycle, UCMR2, the EPA is requiring selected PWSs to monitor for these contaminants (complete lists from the EPA) between 2008 and 2010:
- List 1 analytes:
- pesticides and flame retardants
- explosives
- List 2 analytes:
- herbicides and their degradation products
- nitrosamines (at the entry point)
- nitrosamines (in the distribution system)
We will tell each PWS required to participate in UCMR2 which contaminants they must monitor, the monitoring schedule they must follow, and an estimate of the costs involved. Briefly:
- Samples will be collected by a TCEQ contractor. No PWS has to collect additional samples to participate.
- For groundwater systems, two sets of samples will be collected exactly six months apart.
- For surface water systems, four sets of samples will be collected exactly three months apart—that is, quarterly samples for one year.
- For PWSs serving fewer than 10,000 customers, the EPA and TCEQ will pay all costs of this program:
- The EPA will pay for sampling kits, including all sampling supplies.
- The EPA will pay to ship the kit to our contractor.
- We will pay the contractor to conduct the sampling.
- The EPA will pay to have the samples shipped to their analytical lab and analyzed.
- For larger PWSs, we will pay the cost of collection. The PWS must pay only the cost of lab analysis. Estimated costs per analysis are:
- For List 1, method 527.0, $225.
- For List 1, method 529.0, $225.
- For List 2, method 521.0, $320.
- For List 2, method 525.2, $200.
- For List 2, method 535.0, $375.
If your PWS is participating in UCMR2, then, before these samples are collected, you must go to CDX/SDWARS (Central Data Exchange for the Safe Drinking Water Accession and Review System) and use the CRK number (customer registration key) in your letter from the EPA to set up your UCMR2 account in one of these ways:
- If you participated in UCMR1, upgrade your account.
- If you have another existing CDX account (for example, for LT2 monitoring), add SDWARS to it.
- If your PWS has no CDX/SDWARS account, set up a new one for UCMR2.
For more information about UCMR2, read:
- Information from the EPA, including its UCMR2 web page and its related fact sheets:
- UCMR Sampling (staff presentation to sample collectors, October 2006) in PowerPoint or PDF
- Map showing location of all PWSs in Texas participating in UCMR2 (also available as PDF)
If you need more information, contact us and ask to speak to the UCMR coordinator.

Bohemian Grove commando found guilty
A Sonoma County jury convicted a Nevada man yesterday of all charges stemming from a bizarre episode that he undertook in hopes of exposing human sacrifice at the Bohemian Grove.
The jury deliberated for less than an hour yesterday morning before finding Richard McCaslin, 37, guilty of five felonies, including arson, burglary and brandishing a weapon at a peace officer.
He was also found guilty of two enhancements for being armed and wearing a bulletproof vest while carrying out those crimes last January. They apparently were committed out of his belief that the Bohemian Club's benign "Cremation of Care Ceremony," performed each year at its annual encampment, is a satanic ritual involving child abuse and human sacrifice.
McCaslin, of Carson City, Nev., faces a sentence of as long as 12 years in prison when he is sentenced on May 14. Prosecutors said they intend to ask for the maximum penalty.
"In his mind, however unreasonable it is, he thinks it was the right thing to do," said Deputy District Attorney Charles Arden. "That's why I believe he is extremely dangerous."
McCaslin's attorney, Jeff Mitchell, did not return phone calls asking for comment.
McCaslin is still facing federal charges, including crossing state lines with the intent to commit arson, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Jacobs.
During the trial, McCaslin testified he was following the Bible when he moved from Texas to Nevada and spent more than a year planning a commando- style assault to root out pagan worshipers sacrificing children.
McCaslin said he was also inspired by a Texas talk show host, Alex Jones, who says he has seen "bizarre, Luciferian ceremonies" at the 2,700-acre grove known for its annual two-week summer encampment which draws business and political leaders, such as Henry Kissinger and former President George Bush.
In an interview with The Chronicle last January, McCaslin said he was "expecting armed resistance" that Jan. 19 when he crept into the grove, wearing a skeleton mask and blue fatigues with "Phantom Patriot" spelled out in red letters across his chest.
He was also armed with a sword, crossbow, machine gun, and explosive device.
"I felt if physical damage was inflicted upon them and it got enough attention, the American people would rise up," he said.
That night, McCaslin said, he lost his way and crawled into a cabin to sleep.
The next morning, McCaslin found the club's giant owl statue, but could find no enemy to confront. McCaslin then set fire to the camp's mess hall, but sprinklers extinguished the flames.
He was confronted by Sonoma County sheriff's deputies and surrendered 15 minutes later.
Mitchell, McCaslin's attorney, argued that there was insufficient evidence to show that McCaslin entered the compound intending to commit burglary and arson.
Jurors spurned that argument, Arden said, adding that he interviewed eight of the jurors after the verdict.
"They felt very comfortable and confident," Arden said. "One said he was a domestic terrorist."

ALBANY, N.Y. – Competing for the first time in nearly a month, the Brandeis cross country teams had fine performances at the 45th Annual University at Albany Invitational. The Judge men came in 5th out of 21 teams, while the women were 10th out of 23. Both squads finished ahead of several Division I programs in the process.
On the men's side, Brandeis's fifth-place finish (164 pts) was second among Division III schools, behind only Middlebury (3rd place, 89 points), currently ranked No. 6 in nation. The Judges finished just behind the University of New Hampshire (154) but well ahead of sixth-place Colgate (211 points), both Division I teams. Individually, the two senior captains, Chris Brown (No. Chelmsford, Mass./Chelmsford) and Marc Boutin (Westford, Mass./Westford Acad.) led the way, finishing in 18th and 20th places, respectively. They finished the 8K course less than two seconds apart in 26:07.8 and 26:09.4, respectively, and were fourth and sixth among DIII runners. Sophomore Taylor Dundas (Bath, Maine/Cheverus) had the team's third-best finish, coming in 37th with a time of 26:34.6, while junior Alex Kramer (No. Andover, Mass./Andover) just over four seconds later in 40th place with a time of 26:38.8. Sophomore Ed Colvin (Roslindale, Mass./Catholic Memorial School) rounded out the Brandeis scorers in 51st place with a time of 26:49.8. Rookies Jarret Harrigan (Ipswich, Mass./St. Johns Prep) – 89th place, 27:35.0 – and Greg Bray (Duxbury, Mass./Duxbury) – 101st place, 27:48.8 – were the team's sixth and seventh finishers in their second collegiate race.
For the women, the Judges were also second among Division III schools with 299 points, with only second-ranked Middlebury (2nd place, 64 points) ahead of them. The Judges were just five points behind Division I Hartford and were 31 points in front of Div. II Adelphi. Senior Kate Warwick (Boxborough, Mass./Acton-Boxborough) continued to set the pace for the Judges, placing 35th with a time of 19:02.8 over the 5K course. Warwick was the top Division III runner not from Middlebury. Sophomore Amelia Lundkvist (So. Portland, Maine/Cheverus) was 54th with a time of 19:26.5. Rookie Miriam Stulin (Needham, Mass./Dana Hall School) continued her fine first season as the team's third runner, finishing 60th overall in 19:36.9. Sophomore Victoria Sanford (Lagrangeville, N.Y./Arlington) was 90th overall with a time of 20:26.7 and senior Monique Girard (Billerica, Mass./Billerica Memorial) rounded out the scoring for the Judges with a time of 20:36.2, good for 98th place.
Brandeis is off for two weeks with the 2011 University Athletic Association championships on Oct. 29 at the University of Chicago next on the schedule.

Before you report a bug, always do a Full Restart and make sure you can duplicate it. This simple step will resolve some difficulties.
If you happen to discover a bug or have a problem with TivoWebPlus, there are certain things that we need to know in order to properly diagnose your problem. So, when reporting a bug or a problem, please provide the following information:
-- TiVo model number (i.e. HDVR2, SAT-T60)
-- TiVo software version (i.e. 2.5.5, 3.1.1b, 4.0)
-- TiVoWebPlus version
-- method used to hack the TiVo
-- detailed description of the problem (error messages are helpful)
-- steps we should take to duplicate your problem (i.e. which screen you're on and what button you're clicking)
-- did you test with any other versions or was this working on a previous version? if so, which version?
Failure to provide the above information will most likely result in your problem not being fixed.
Due to the inconsistent nature of the BASH_ENV hacking method and the availability of superior methods such as monte, use of TivoWebPlus on units hacked using BASH_ENV will not be supported.
Occasionally, people inquire about having modules added to the TivoWebPlus standard install. As a result, we have established some guidelines to help us determine which modules are suitable and appropriate. This was necessary to keep TivoWebPlus from becoming bloated and overwhelmingly difficult to maintain from a developer's standpoint.
Modules that will be considered should be:
-- a final product; specifically, well tested and have all known bugs dealt with
-- cross-platform
-- beneficial to all users, and of general interest to a typical user
-- reasonably small, reasonably fast
This, of course, rules out modules that are currently in development, even if they meet all of the other criteria. However, we realize that despite the state of development or platform dependencies, certain modules can still be very useful and we would like to make them readily available here as suggested modules. If you have authored a module or have found a rather useful module elsewhere that you think should be listed here that is fully compatible with TivoWebPlus, feel free to reply to this thread and let us know about it and we just might add it!
Suggested modules (alphabetical order)
* Please be aware that certain modules may not be compatible with all versions of the TiVo software. Check out the URL and associated documentation prior to using them unless you're feeling lucky.

After three extended space heater commercials, two creepy animated music videos and a further two failed attempts of running the roll that yielded no audio, Tawfiq Okasha finally graced our living room screens again.
Yes, people, the legend is back. This time with more revelations, expert analysis and of course, a less than subtle reminder that he is always right. Even when he is not.
It was Okasha's first appearance since July when the government shut down his channel, Al Fara'een. Although a court reversed the decision, Al Fara'een was in major debt and remained closed.
He was also entangled in several court cases ranging from an unpaid divorce settlement, defamation of Khaled Said's mother and insulting President Mohamed Morsy. He was sentenced for four months in prison but remains free as he appeals the verdict.
Okasha ensured we remained aware of his legal plights as sad music accompanied emotional montages of him standing trial behind bars prefaced going to, and coming back, from a half hour-long commercial break.
Nevertheless, the hero returns. This time on a little known channel, Time Drama, on which Okasha reportedly had to pay for his own spot. Time Drama seized the opportunity and ensured everything from male enhancement commercials featuring cartoon female private parts to "Moon Light" weight loss tea and cream were advertised. A lot.
Further lending credibility to my theory that he puts on an act and is in fact cunningly intelligent, Okasha started us off – in perfect classical Arabic – with an opening statement that was a hybrid of an explanation and a collection of history's worst apologies.
"I have attacked many of Egypt's journalists on my show. Perhaps I was too critical, but they have also erred, they did not properly research the topics they presented," he said.
Okasha then went on to list many such journalists and media presenters. He said they were all on the same boat now that the Muslim Brotherhood was attacking media freedoms.
"I attacked them, but I attacked them for Egypt," Okasha assured the journalists.
He went on to bury the hatchet with many political figures he traditionally opposed. Okasha assured us that his wife was friends with Popular Current leader Hamdeen Sabahy's wife, a fact he recently discovered.
Even his sworn enemy Mohamed ElBaradei was offered an olive branch. Previously critical of the Nobel laureate for failing to know village flea market prices and a serious lack of duck feeding skills, Okasha assured the opposition leader that he then attacked him in defence of poor Egyptians and now wished to ally with him for the same reason.
There was a list of thanks to people who probably received them very uncomfortably such as businessmen Naguib Sawiris and Ahmed Bahgat. Even Bassem Youssef received a passive aggressive apology.
Introductions out of the way, Okasha launched into a tirade against the Muslim Brotherhood whom he says are fulfilling the United States' plan for colonising Egypt without spending a single dollar.
Barack Obama hates Benjamin Netanyahu, you see, and as such he instigated the recent Gaza conflict in order to allow Morsy to look good. This is all because Bibi backed Mitt Romney in the presidential elections.
Looking the hero, Morsy was then encouraged to release his constitutional decree with an American blessing so that Egypt would spiral into chaos and be ripe for the taking. Who knew all this? General Omar Suleiman, former vice president.
Suleiman was assimilated by the Americans through an injection that blocked his "starchy glands" while receiving treatment for an illness in a country Okasha refused to name.
Okasha will be appearing on Time Drama at 9pm three times a week on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. His protégé Hayat El-Derdeery will join him once or twice a week. Watch him because everything else now is depressing.

It is Five for Friday time my friends!
Here are 5 very random happenings from my week. What a week it has been. I worked a few extra days this week, and although I am now more tired than normal, I have to say, I was feeling very 'at home' being in a classroom for a few more hours. Some of us are just made for it I guess - I am sure you know the feeling.
#1 Scrappy Superheroes
I got time to make some Scrappy Superhero Clipart this week, and I was very happy with how they turned out. If you would like to see the final product, you can find them in my TpT store HERE
#2 Grammar and Punctuation Flippy Flappy Books
I was patting myself on the back for being a bit of a super-mum this week. I found, nestled away in the back of my wardrobe a couple of books that I purchased way back when my daughter was 2, ready for when she needed to learn more about punctuation and grammar. And who am I kidding, they are for me too! LOVE when I find long forgotten treasures, in hidden hidey holes around the house.
These books explain all sorts of aspects of grammar and punctuation with pull out flaps and are great for visual learners.
# 3 Fat Wombat
Isn't he just gorgeous! I went along with my daughter's class on an excursion (field trip) to learn more about Australian animals and reptiles. I could not resist a photo of this fella.
We also learnt that baby koalas cannot eat leaves, they cannot digest them. So mother koala eats them and baby koala, well she eats mother-koala-poo. There is no nice way to write it.
Told you, random.
#4 Paper Penguin
We did not see any penguins at the park, but we DID see a platypus. And they are kinda the same. But not really at all.
The platypusary (yes that is what they called it) was VERY dark, so I could not get a good photo. I tried - but it's just a very dark rectangle with two bright yellow gleaming eyes popping out. I was going to post it, but it just looked evil. And platypuses are EVERYTHING but, so I decided to post a picture of a penguin instead.
Nothing random about that.
This Penguin with a Pencil is a paper craft that you can find in my "Let's Learn P" resource pack. And its FREE for the moment. Find it by clicking on the image below:
#5 Playing
When I think of platypuses and penguins, I also thing of princesses and playing. Why? Because that is just the way a K-1 teacher's mind works. It also works by reducing my working vocabulary to mostly cvc words, but I will save that up for another fun post ;)
I did some cleaning out and sorting of my little princess's wardrobe this week. It hit me very hard - how much and how fast, she is growing up. In a blink of an eye and a bit of a growth spurt she has grown out of so many of her clothes, yet I still see her as my baby girl.
I gave her extra hugs this week so that she knows how much I love her and I also played with my little man (2 yrs old) a LOT.
I want to treasure as many moments with him, as I can, before he grows up oh-so-fast as well.
I hope you had a week as crazy and random as mine.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

I agree, best show on TV as far as I'm concerned and they may compact the comic stuff like the phone, but I'm ok with that since I haven't read the comics. I suppose if you read those though, your POV may be different. I dunno.
why would they carry assualt rifles after a girl with a sword? They don't know how bad ass she is, Merle can't really handle a rifle anymore, and any kind of heavy fire is going to draw more walkers.
The only thing that works for me, at all, is Merle's a bit of a moron and didn't respect Michonne at all, so he didn't think to actually gear up at all and that it'd be just a quick jaunt out and back with her head and sword. That's a little far-fetched still, but Merle is a dope and could easily make a mistake like underestimating who he's going out after. It still stands to reason any group out there is better off with a staggered ability to fight though, rather than just relying on pistols and knives.

New York, May 22, 2013--At least three journalists have been held hostage by armed tribesmen for a week in Yemen, according to news reports.
The journalists--Yassin Alzikri, editor-in-chief for Economic Media magazine; Ibrahim al-Ashmori, president of the reports division of Al-Thawra daily newspaper; and Ahmed al-Shamiri, writer for the Saudi Okaz daily newspaper--were abducted in Marib province on May 15, according to news reports.
The journalists were headed to the eastern province of Mahrah for an unspecified reporting mission. News accounts reported that there were at least two other journalists with the group, but offered conflicting details. Reports said that Mohammed al-Shamiri, a cameraman for Yemen Digital Media, and Noman al-Asbahi, a writer for Al-Sahwa weekly newspaper, had also been abducted and then released on Friday, while other sources said the two journalists fled and found refuge with a local sheikh.
Several reports named the tribal leader Yahia Saleh al-Masmi as responsible for the kidnapping. Al-Masmi told the English language newspaper Yemen Times that he is seeking payment from the government amounting to 20 million riyals (almost US$100,000) for every tribesman killed in previous clashes with the government.
The daily newspaper Yemen al-Youm interviewed another individual, Mohammed Saleh Mosalamy, who claimed to be one of the abductors and said the journalists would not be released until the government had met the group's demands. Mareb Press cited an anonymous source who said the kidnappers were attempting to pressure the government to employ them to protect local oil pipelines. Yemen al-Youm said Mosalamy said the group would attack the pipelines if the government did not cooperate.
Mosalamy also told Yemen al-Youm that his tribesmen's homes were destroyed during the aerial bombardment of Habab Valley a few months ago. It wasn't immediately clear what events Mosalamy was referring to, but in December, the Yemeni government launched an offensive against tribesmen suspected of repeatedly sabotaging oil pipelines in the Habab Valley, according to Agence France-Presse.
It is not clear if the abductors belong to the same tribe targeted in the December clashes that left at least 10 tribesmen and seven soldiers dead.
"We are very concerned about the well-being of Yassin Alzikri, Ibrahim al-Ashmori, and Mohammed al-Shamiri and we ask that they be released immediately," said CPJ Middle East and North Africa Coordinator Sherif Mansour.
The abductions come amid a disturbing rise in violations against the Yemeni press in the past two months, CPJ research shows.

Last April, I posted about how Stride Rite positions girls as pretty and boys as active. After seeing their in-store advertisements and reviewing their product descriptions online, I concluded that according to Stride Rite, girls are meant to be looked at, so their play shoes are a route to prettiness, while boys are meant to be active, so their play shoes are made for play.
Last week, while doing some back-to-school shopping with her young daughters, Margot Magowan of Reel Girl encountered similar advertising at her local Stride Rite store in San Francisco. She was deeply disappointed in how the brand perpetuated the idea that girls are dramatically different from boys–sparkling princesses versus powerful fighters. And she linked back to my post from last year to offer context, showing that Stride Rite's hyper-gendered marketing is business as usual for the brand.
Her blog post about it struck quite the chord: The Daily Mail, the Huffington Post, and Jezebel all picked up the story, quoting Margot and myself on the topic. Margot also was interviewed by Fox and Friends.
As Margot put it on Fox and Friends: "Feet are not that different. Boys and girls, especially four-year-olds, have basically the same shoes and basically the same feet." So why such a strong and stereotypical gender segregation?
The Daily Mail connected Stride Rite's marketing to broader trends; for example, they cited research by Elizabeth Sweet, a doctoral candidate in sociology at the University of California, whose research suggests that gender segregating and stereotyping of toys is becoming worse with time–so much so that "the world of toys looks a lot more like 1952 than 2012."
[The Christian Science Monitor editor's note: For it's part, Stride Rite responded to these concerns with the following statement, which focuses on their footwear but not their marketing strategies.
"Stride Rite Children's Group develops footwear that is specifically designed to meet the needs of growing children while offering a broad assortment of products in a range of styles that are of interest for both girls and boys. We strongly believe that all kids should be active and we provide shoes that enable and encourage kids to play and use their imaginations. Our commitment to quality, style and "kid rite" innovation is at the forefront of our minds as we strive to provide options to all parents and children."]
Meanwhile, Jezebel offered a characteristically entertaining approach to the subject, writing:
This just in: being a child and taking steps to propel you from one area to another is a gendered act. Boys walk; girls sparkle and twirl and make princess wishes. Boys also crouch and pretend to shoot webs out of their hands, because that sort of thing is fun when you are a boy. (The only time that girls crouch is when they are picking up face-up pennies in their never ending quest to make a lot of wishes.)
On the other hand, the Huffington Post coverage offered a fairly straightforward summary of our blog posts, but the comment thread was often infuriating:
- Some commenters were defensive, arguing that there's nothing wrong with being a girly-girl who likes princess products. This is true, but the argument misses the point: The problem is when girls are ONLY offered girly-girl/princess items. There are so many ways to be a girl, and marketing like Stride Rite's reduces girls to ONE form of girlishness only.
- Other commenters defended corporations like Stride Rite and blamed parents for the gender stereotyping of childhood, claiming it is the parents' job to raise their children properly. This, too, is true, but also misses the point: even the most devoted parents are hard-pressed to fight back against the billion-dollar marketing machine that is so invested in separating the boys from the girls. (After all, fostering a separation between the sexes is a great way to sell twice as many products.)
Inspired by that comment thread, Lori Day of the Huffington Post wrote a terrific piece about the media's shameless peddling of gender stereotypes to children. She explains:
"A lot of adults are laughing all the way to the bank as our kids pass under the bus. The strategy is simple: convince kids of both genders that they are very different from each other and that they need completely different products with different colors and different labels, and they will naturally only want what they've been told is "for" them and what has been spoon fed to them since birth. Parents will then dole out double the money buying separate products for their sons and daughters, ensuring that the retailers and marketers double their profits and double down on the stereotyped messaging. And why wouldn't they? It's brilliant. It's lucrative. It's also a breathtaking act of psychological vandalism against our children. Media shapes perception, and perception becomes reality."

Israel's Transportation Ministry has set up a number of bus lines for Palestinian passengers traveling between the West Bank and central Israel, YNet News reports.
While the ministry claims that the buses are for all passengers, it appears that only Palestinian villages have been told of their existence, sparking serious claims of segregation.
According to Ha'aretz, any Palestinian who holds an entrance permit to the State of Israel is legally allowed to use public transportation. However, the newspaper has previously reported on a number of incidents in which Arab passengers have been forced off of buses.
YNet News also spoke to several bus drivers, who claimed that under the new rules, due to start Monday, Palestinian passengers will be asked to leave the buses on mixed lines used by Jewish settlers.
Officially, the ministry claims the buses were only a result of crowding and tensions between Arab passengers and Jewish passengers. However, one source told YNet that security threats were also a consideration. According to Ha'aretz, pressure from Jewish settlers was a factor in the Transportation Ministry's plan.
Ha'aretz also reports that the new lines are in part being created in a bid to stop so-called "pirate" driving services that have sprung up to help Arab workers get into central Israel. These services often charged high prices and will presumably be put out of business by the new, cheaper lines.
The news has sparked considerable coverage in Arab media, with Al Arabiya asking if the area needed another "Rosa Parks moment" and comparing the situation to racial segregation in the U.S. On Twitter, the Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg argued that the controversy over the lines showed West Bank settlements were "incompatible with democracy".
YNet spoke to one bus driver who seemed well aware of the controversy the plan would create, but seemed to say it was the only option. "Obviously, everyone will start screaming 'apartheid' and 'racism' now," the bus driver said. "This really doesn't feel right, and maybe (the ministry) should find a different solution, but the situation right now is impossible."

Microsoft's year in review: Hits, misses, and maybes
Don't mention the iPad. Or Ray Ozzie
Radio Reg This year saw Microsoft return to mobile with Windows Phone 7, deliver its answer to Google Apps, and silence web skeptics with an HTML5-compliant IE9 beta.
Yet Microsoft failed to answer Apple on tablets and lost the presidents of its Office and entertainment and devices divisions along with Ray Ozzie, the man handpicked by none other than Bill Gates to become Microsoft's next chief software architect.
Microsoft also placed all its internet chips on HTML5 while slowly backing off Silverlight, which it's been championing for three years as its cross-platform runtime for applications and media on the web.
Was 2010 a turnaround year for Microsoft as some are suggesting? Or more of the same?
Join Reg software editor Gavin Clarke and All-About-Microsoft blogger Mary-Jo Foley as they compare their lists of hits, misses, and maybes for Microsoft in 2010 and look at what they mean for the software giant in the coming 12 months.
We talk Windows 8, Silverlight 5, IE9, and more.

In the STAR WARS universe we are introduced to many planets that have breathable atmospheres and surface gravity tolerable to humans. This habitability gives us some clues to assess the gross physical properties of the planets. I have generated some plots of planetary density (a rough hint at composition), planetary radius and mass, for given values of the surface gravity and the escape velocity. Dotted lines refer to Earth values; the dashed line on the first plot indicates the density of water.
The surface gravity of a world may be estimated by observing the rate at which free objects accerlate as they fall, the evolution and buoyant rise of fireballs and mushroom clouds from explosions, the distances over which people fall without harm, and the ability of heavier-than-air gliding objects to stay aloft.
The escape velocity is the minimum speed at which an object (or gas molecule) must be launched from the surface if it is to avoid falling back. The thermal motions of most gas particles in a planetary atmosphere must be slower than this escape velocity if the atmosphere is to be retained. Thus the escape velocity is a crude indicator of a world's ability to retain atmosphere. Considering the examples of habitable and nearly habitable worlds in our solar system:
Curves are plotted for escape velocities only up to 20 km/s, because that range is typical of a small gas giant like Uranus or Neptune. When such a world is forming, the atmosphere grows in a runaway manner, until the supply of interplanetary gas is removed from the young solar system.
The reference density of 1000 km / m³ is the density of water or ice (approximately). Silicates (rocky substances) are up to about three times as dense; the metals that comprise a planet's core are a few times denser still. For example, refer to periodic table data for the density of elemental iron.
These plots should provide a visual impression of the range of parameters that are realistic for a planet with tolerable gravity and the ability to retain an atmosphere in which humans can survive.

Filter adapter
Regular Heliopan filter adapters allow you to mount a larger filter on a smaller lens.
You read the item description in the way that the first number is the female thread (where the filter gets screwed into) and the second one is the male thread where the adapter gets screwed into lens.
I you have a lens with a diameter of 55mm, and another one with 52mm, your best bet is to get all filters in 55mm and then buy an adapter 55/52E.
If the first number is smaller than the second you try to mount a smaller filter to a lerger lens. This can lead to vignetting.
Vignetting can also occur with wide angle lenses or if an adapted filter is combined with a sunshade.
All items marked with "Special Order Item" will be custom manufactured for you and cannot be returned. Manufacturing takes usually about 7 to 10 days.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 56 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
I am becoming a serial entrepreneur! I started my first company, uShip.com, 6 years ago with 2 friends from business school. uShip has been an amazing experience, but I am ready to get my hands dirty again. I am starting Givability so that I can pursue my true passion -- philanthropy. Similar in some ways to DonorsChoose.org and GlobalGiving.org. Givability will be the first truly open marketplace for micro-philanthropy. I want to create something that will have a real impact on the lives of others - do you want to help out?
Givability is an online marketplace for micro-philanthropy. Our market is people who may never have participated in philanthropic efforts before - people who may not know how to be part of the solution when they only have $5, $10, $15 do give. We want to empower these individuals, as well as upstart non-profits, social entrepreneurs and anyone else who wants to try and change the world. So our market is really twofold - creating a one stop marketplace for people to engage in philanthropy, and creating a place that gives access to capital to organizations that want to make a positive social impact.
I am going to keep this really simple. To understand the basics of what Givability will do, look at DonorsChoose.org, GlobalGiving.org and GiveForward.org. Givability will be a different marketplace in many ways, but with the same goals of helping create change in the world. I like clean and simple with soft colors - greens and blues are my favorites, but I want to see what great designers can come up with without too many restrictions. I will provide feedback as soon as designs appear, so hopefully you will get an idea of what I like and what I don't.

Mental institutions
Parrot cage from Sussex Lunatic Asylum, Europe, 1859-1939
Large Victorian public asylums haunt the history of psychiatry. They were hailed as places of refuge for some of society's supposedly most vulnerable men and women. These buildings were called 'lunatic asylums', and later renamed 'mental hospitals'. They earned a reputation as dehumanising, prison-like institutions.
Home-based or church-based care
Before asylums,the burden of keeping vulnerable individuals rested almost entirely on loved ones. 'Mad' people who could not be kept at home wandered free, begging for food and shelter, and often - like Shakespeare's Lear or Ophelia - finding none
In Europe a few small Christian institutions dedicated to sheltering the insane emerged in the early Middle Ages. London's Bedlam was the most famous. It did not hold more than two dozen inmates until the 1620s.
Private 'madhouses' to public asylums
A growing market economy in the 1600s and 1700s saw 'service professions' emerge. Those who worked in them did thankless jobs formerly handled at home or by the church, and included undertakers, private tutors and 'madhouse - keepers'. Families paid for secrecy and discretion, and private 'madhouses' left few records. Artefacts show keepers used physical restraints such as leg-irons and manacles. Some keepers adopted 'management' techniques developed by Renaissance horse - masters to control stubborn horses.
Quaker businessman William Tuke founded the York Retreat in the 1790s. It was the first asylum to shun physical restraint and coercion. Its influential methods became known as moral treatment, which relied on constant surveillance. Around the same time physician Philippe Pinel famously unchained mental patients in Paris asylums, declaring they were sick, not criminals. This story is more legend than fact. Nevertheless, Pinel was a hero among asylum reformers and promoters in the golden age of asylums that followed.
Public funding poured into asylum construction between 1800 and 1900. Advocates for building asylums included Dorothea Dix. Like many Victorians, they placed faith in bricks-and-mortar solutions to social problems associated with the accelerating pace of modern life. The patient population in England went from about 10,000 to 10 times that. Asylums built in this period impressed public officials, as the buildings were designed to be majestic and therapeutic. Extraordinary attention was paid to ventilation and to safety, and most asylums also featured extensive grounds - beautiful gardens were tended by patients as part of their treatment.
Medical expertise
Psychiatrists combined Tuke's and Pinel's methods to manage patients. They created a medical version of moral treatment reliant on the secular moral authority of the (always-male) psychiatrist, who controlled asylum life. The theory was that a carefully designed and regulated environment, with a strong father figure, calmed patients and restored their sanity.
Asylum physicians' exaggerated claims of curing 'lunacy' by moral treatment backfired. Expensive but inflexible buildings became overcrowded, and by 1890 the majority of patients left only in coffins. Old techniques returned - straitjackets, seclusion and sedative drugs such as bromides were used on unruly patients.
Controversies and legacies
In the first half of the 1900s asylums (or 'mental hospitals') became testing grounds for controversial treatments such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and lobotomy. These methods helped some patients function again, but they irreparably harmed others. Such therapies became widely used because doctors and nurses wanted to offer patients cutting-edge treatment. ECT and lobotomy, however, reinforced an old and persistent image of asylums as intimidating places of last resort.
Many mental hospitals closed in the 1970s and 1980s. This was due to pressure from the antipsychiatry movement, feminist criticism, ex-patient activism and political suspicion of large, unaccountable institutions. Other mental hospitals were converted to 'short-stay' treatment centres - a policy enabled by new psychiatric drugs. In the UK this was called 'care in the community'.
Many patients were left homeless. Others, especially people with profound intellectual disability or brain damage, remain institutionalised in 'care homes' their entire lives. Such patients and ex-patients depend on loved ones or charity to weather political and economic changes. People without such shelter are often forgotten. This distantly echoes the situation of people called 'mad' in the Middle Ages.

The university's Jandoli School has been given a network level television sports production truck by Game Creek Video, becoming the only school in the country with such a facility.
Imagine yourself doing play-by-play of Division One college sports on live television for hundreds of thousands of viewers on a TV sports network.
Picture yourself directing or producing a tournament basketball game, providing replays, running a camera or providing audio or graphics for telecasts.
You can be one of the St. Bonaventure JMC students taking a unique course in remote TV production using the university's broadcast facility, a 48-foot, 40-ton unit with 10 cameras and facilities once used for major league sports and the Academy Awards. Click to view video of men's basketball highlights produced with this equipment!
You'll learn the way to present journalism on the fly, live sports telecasts of A-10 basketball, baseball, soccer, lacrosse etc., plus studio shows about sports and public affairs when you enroll in JMC 401E. Your instructor spent 35 years as a big league producer and director, and you'll also learn in workshops from men and women who've won Emmys for their work at CBS, NBC, Fox and ESPN.
Currently the course is open to juniors and seniors, but internships for credit are available to sophomores.
The equipment on the truck includes a Grass Valley 3000 switcher, four hard Ikegami cameras with Canon lenses, three hand-held Ikegami cameras, four Sony W75 Beta decks, a Yamaha 3500 audio console, a Chyron Infinit, and an Abekas DVEous.
The Koop Broadcasting Lab is a news room and fully functioning television production studio located in the Russell J. Jandoli School of Journalism/Mass Communication. It's named for, and dedicated to the memory of, the late Bob Koop, a longtime anchor on WIVB-TV Channel 4 News in Buffalo.
Students learn television news production in a modern digital setting in the Koop Lab. The base course is Video Production, which technical skills in videography and editing are first taught as well as storytelling using the medium. Broadcast Reporting follows, a course that explores writing for the medium and production of actual TV news and feature stories. The final course in the sequence is Seminar in Broadcast Journalism, which students produce a weekly newscast that airs on SBU-TV and on cable systems throughout Western New York.
The Koop Lab facilities include a professional news set and anchor desk connected to a separate control room. Digital camcorders and eight AVID digital editing systems are used for production as well as EZ-News modern news production software and a digital on-screen graphics machine.
Open daily, under the direction of student lab assistants, the facility is available to all JMC students and many produce special projects on its equipment.

| 7.4°C Belfast
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has insisted he was sad to see director of football Joe Kinnear leave the club.
The 67-year-old's resignation was announced on Monday night after he failed to make a single permanent signing during more than seven months in the post.
Many onlookers had suggested Kinnear's appointment had undermined the manager, and his inability to land a replacement for Yohan Cabaye during the final few days of the January transfer window left Pardew with a significantly weakened hand.
However, asked for his reaction to the Irishman's departure, the 52-year-old said: "I'm just sad to see anybody lose their job, as Joe has. He did a lot of good work here.
"But that decision was the board's decision and we have to now work towards getting us and our position in the league more secure.
"My job is actually the next game and that's what I'm focusing on."
The Magpies head for high-flying Chelsea on Saturday desperate to bounce back from a 3-0 derby drubbing by Sunderland.
But in the longer term, Pardew is planning a summer overhaul of his squad regardless of whether or not a new director of football is appointed.
He said: "That decision is the board's, but I have no problem with directors of football. In the modern game, a lot of clubs have directors of football.
"There is so much involved in transfers in terms of the other club, agents, the preparation for the bid and the finances that are involved now that it goes way past what we used to do 10 years ago.
"I'm old enough now to have been in a time when I was involved in the financial part of a transfer.
"But that part of it has gone from managers and has gone from me, I would say, for the last six or seven years for sure, and probably that's how it should be."

The Linux kernel's implementation of KMS enables native resolution in the framebuffer and allows for instant console (tty) switching. KMS also enables newer technologies (such as DRI2) which will help reduce artifacts and increase 3D performance, even kernel space power-saving.
Previously, setting up the video card was the job of the X server. Because of this, it was not easily possible to have fancy graphics in virtual consoles. Also, each time a switch from X to a virtual console was made (
Ctrl+Alt+F1), the server had to give control over the video card to the kernel, which was slow and caused flickering. The same "painful" process happened when the control was given back to the X server (
With Kernel Mode Setting (KMS), the kernel is now able to set the mode of the video card. This makes fancy graphics during bootup, virtual console and X fast switching possible, among other things.
At first, note that for any method you use, you should always disable:
- Any
vga=options in your bootloader as these will conflict with the native resolution enabled by KMS.
- Any
video=lines that enable a framebuffer that conflicts with the driver.
- Any other framebuffer drivers (such as uvesafb).
Late KMS start
Intel, Nouveau, ATI and AMDGPU drivers already enable KMS automatically for all chipsets, so you need not install it manually.
The proprietary NVIDIA driver supports KMS (since 364.12), which has to be manually enabled.
The proprietary AMD Catalyst driver does not support KMS. In order to use KMS you have to replace it with the open-source ATI driver.
Early KMS start
KMS is typically initialized after the initramfs stage. However it is possible to already enable KMS during the initramfs stage. Add the module
amdgpu (for ATI/AMD cards),
i915 (for Intel integrated graphics) or
nouveau (for Nvidia cards) to the
MODULES line in
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf. For example:
MODULES="... i915 ..."
intel_agp before
i915 to suppress the ACPI errors. This might be required for resuming from hibernation to work with changed display configuration!
If you are using a custom EDID file (not applicable for the built-in resolutions), you should embed it into initramfs as well:
Rebuild your initial ramdisk image (see mkinitcpio).
My fonts are too tiny
See Fonts#Console fonts for how to change your console font to a large font. The Terminus font (terminus-font) is available in many sizes, such as
ter-132n which is larger.
Alternatively, disabling KMS by appending
nomodeset as a kernel parameter will also make fonts readable.
Problem upon bootloading and dmesg
Polling for connected display devices on older systems can be quite expensive. Poll will happen periodically and can in worst cases take several hundred milliseconds, depending on the hardware. This will cause visible stalls, for example in video playback. These stalls might happen even when your video is on HDP output but you have other non HDP outputs in your hw configuration. If you experience stalls in display output occurring every 10 seconds, disabling polling might help.
If you see an error code of
0x00000010 (2) while booting up, (you will get about 10 lines of text, the last part denoting that error code), use:
options drm_kms_helper poll=0
Forcing modes and EDID
In case that your monitor/TV is not sending the appropriate EDID or similar problems, you will notice that the native resolution is not automatically configured or no display at all. The kernel has a provision to load the binary EDID data, and provides as well data to set four of the most typical resolutions.
If you have the EDID file for your monitor the process is easy. If you do not have, you can either use one of the built-in resolution-EDID binaries (or generate one during kernel compilation, more info here) or build your own EDID.
In case you have an EDID file (e.g. extracted from Windows drivers for your monitor or using
get-edid command from read-edid), create a dir
edid under
# mkdir /usr/lib/firmware/edid
and then copy your binary into the
/usr/lib/firmware/edid directory.
To load it at boot, specify the following in the kernel command line:
You can also specify it only for a specified connection:
For the four built-in resolutions, see table below for the name to specify:
|Name to specify
|1600x1200 (kernel 3.10 or higher)
If you are doing early KMS, you must include the custom EDID file in the initramfs or you will run into problems.
You can also construct your own EDID with the makefile included in the
Documentation/EDID sources of the kernel. The full information can be read here and there.
video= command line may be useful in some scenarios
From the nouveau wiki:
A mode can be forced on the kernel command line. Unfortunately, the command line option video is poorly documented in the DRM case. Bits and pieces on how to use it can be found in
- http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/tree/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt
- http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c
The format is:
- <conn>: Connector, e.g. DVI-I-1, see
/sys/class/drm/for available connectors
- <xres> x <yres>: resolution
- M: compute a CVT mode?
- R: reduced blanking?
- -<bpp>: color depth
- @<refresh>: refresh rate
- i: interlaced (non-CVT mode)
- m: margins?
- e: output forced to on
- d: output forced to off
- D: digital output forced to on (e.g. DVI-I connector)
You can override the modes of several outputs using "video" several times, for instance, to force DVI to 1024x768 at 85 Hz and TV-out off:
video=DVI-I-1:1024x768@85 video=TV-1:d
To get the name and current status of connectors, you can use the following shell oneliner:
$ for p in /sys/class/drm/*/status; do con=${p%/status}; echo -n "${con#*/card?-}: "; cat $p; done
DVI-I-1: connected HDMI-A-1: disconnected VGA-1: disconnected
Disabling modesetting
You may want to disable KMS for various reasons, such as getting a blank screen or a "no signal" error from the display, when using the Catalyst driver, etc. To disable KMS add
nomodeset as a kernel parameter. See Kernel parameters for more info.
Along with
nomodeset kernel parameter, for Intel graphics card you need to add
i915.modeset=0 and for Nvidia graphics card you need to add
nouveau.modeset=0. For Nvidia Optimus dual-graphics system, you need to add all the three kernel parameters (i.e.
"nomodeset i915.modeset=0 nouveau.modeset=0").

His and Hers GTs
Jim and Barb Dinning each have a Mustang GT—albeit they're 30 years apart in age. Jim's Yellow Blaze '12 GT sports a few styling upgrades and 11,000 miles, while his wife's '82 GT features T-tops and a scant 29,000 miles on the odometer. This is Jim's seventh Mustang but Barb's first. Both cars were driven from their Columbus, OH home to Pittsburgh, PA for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix in July of 2012, where the Mustang was the marquee vehicle. As members of the Mustang Club of Ohio they are looking forward to hosting the MCA Grand National in 2015.
Oh, What a Feeling!
It's not often you spot a Mustang in Europe, but Thierry Feller from Luxembourg spotted this '09 GT in a Toyota dealership in Germany, just an hour's drive from his home. Found via the Internet, Thierry knew he would buy it the moment the salesman started the engine inside the showroom! To date Theirry has added a K&N cold air induction kit and an axle-back Flowmaster muffler kit. "The sound is just amazing! I love this car. People in the streets are turning their heads and everybody tells me that I have a beautiful car!" Indeed you do Thierry.
Covet Thy Neighbor's Mustang
Having admired his neighbor's '66 Mustang for several years, Edward Frischkorn asked his neighbor to let him know if they ever decided to sell the car. That realization came to be on Father's day a few years ago and now Edward and his whole family are enjoying the Metuchen built car and working on it together. So far the hardtop has taken seven awards at shows to date and will have made the trek to Charlotte for the 50th.
Triple Shelby Tribute
Mike Yudizky got quite the surprise under his Christmas tree back in 2006 when his wife Annette somehow managed to fit a '65 Mustang fastback down the chimney. Since getting the best Christmas present ever Mike has added a 347 stroker under hood backed by a T-5 five-speed manual and a 9-inch rear. Mike picked up the '11 V-6 for a daily driver while his grandkids are the envy of the block every time they take their custom Power Wheels Mustang for a spin.
Let us hear from you.
Please send photos with information about the car to: Readers' Album, Mustang Monthly, 9036 Brittany Way, Tampa, FL 33619. Send digital images via email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Airman says 'goodbye' to son before leaving for overseas deployment
Airmen and women heading to Middle East on security mission
About 15 Airmen and women from the 188th Security Forces Squadron boarded a plane headed to the Middle East on Sunday.
The Airmen are expected to be overseas for about six months.
"It's a long time," said Staff Sgt. Quincy Cherry. "It's not as long as other deployments, but it's a long time."
This is Cherry's third deployment. He said leaving this time has been exceptionally difficult.
"I feel pain and anguish," Cherry said. "I'm not looking forward to this one for some reason. You never really look forward to them."
This is the first time Cherry will have to say goodbye to his 2 and-a-half-year-old son, AJ.
Friends and family shared tearful goodbyes before the Airmen boarded the plane, knowing they wouldn't see them again until winter.
"It's a proud but sobering experience," said Roger Thompson, Sgt. Cherry's brother-in-law.
Thompson said watching his brother-in-law leave never gets any easier.
"It makes you stop and think," said Thompson. "There are so many things that we take for granted every day, like getting to see loved ones. You come to the realization that for six months, they're over there protecting our way of life."
The Airmen will be working on security missions while overseas.

What quirks can you find in an FBS coach's contract?
- Bonuses for wins and payouts for certain milestones are among the quirks in FBS coaches%27 contracts
- For example%2C Washington State coach Mike Leach gets %2425%2C000 for beating rival Washington
- Assistant coaches at Ball State share %2425%2C000 for each win against an automatic-qualifying opponent
USA TODAY Sports reporters and editors combed over thousands of documents to calculate salaries for the 126 head coaches and nearly 1,000 assistants on the Football Bowl Subdivision level.
In perusing contract after contract, we came across several interesting "quirks" – like bonuses for individual wins, payouts for reaching certain academic thresholds, contracts for post-retirement employment and agreements entailing monthly gifts supporting the school's non-mainstream sports.
DATABASE:In-depth look at NCAA coach salaries for 2013
METHODOLOGY:Explaining the database's compensation categories
So what quirks will you find in an FBS coach's contract? Here are a few examples:
Mike Leach, Washington State. This one's simple: Leach gets a $25,000 bonus if his Cougars beat rival Washington in the Apple Cup.
Bill O'Brien, Penn State. A year ago, NCAA sanctions that prohibited Penn State from participating in postseason play meant O'Brien could get only one bonus - $47,500 for winning the Big Ten Leaders Division. Under a reworked deal made this year, and even if the NCAA sanctions remain in place, Penn State agreed to pay O'Brien bonuses that the school estimated he might have earned without the penalties. This estimate takes into consideration the team's record, records of other Big Ten teams, estimated chances of success and other relevant factors. A bowl appearance, for example, would have made O'Brien $159,500.
Steve Spurrier, South Carolina. Beginning with the Gamecocks' ninth win of a season, Spurrier begins to trigger bonuses for each successive win through the postseason. If the Gamecocks reach the SEC title game and win out, Spurrier's bonus could total $650,000. He gets $50,000 for the ninth win; $100,000 for the 10th; $200,000 for the 11th and $300,000 for the 12th.
SALARY EXPLOSION:Compensation is up more than 90% compared to 2006
Darrell Hazell, Purdue. Hazell, Purdue's first-year coach, has a clause in his contract allowing the spouses of assistant coaches, the director of football operations, the recruiting coordinator and two sports performance professionals to travel with the team to one regular season away game at Purdue's expense. The spouses and dependent children of those staffers may also travel with the team to postseason bowl games at the university's expense.
Frank Beamer, Virginia Tech. Under a new contract that began this season – his 27th at Virginia Tech – the school has agreed that after Beamer's term as coach ends, if he hasn't been terminated for cause, he will be appointed as a special assistant to the athletics director at salary of $250,000 per year for a term of eight years. At retirement, Beamer also gets free use of an eight-seat suite at Lane Stadium for life.
NEWEST TREND:Coaches like Dabo Swinney are trademarking their names
Ron Caragher, San Jose State. Caragher's contract with SJSU puts a premium on academics. Per his contract, the university has "expectations that the team's NCAA Academic Progress Rate will meet or exceed NCAA threshold minimums" and the team's graduation rate will be above the rate for the school's "general undergrad population." And what if Caragher and his team fail to meet these standards? If so, Caragher "will provide a written Graduation Rate Improvement Plan to be placed in the Employee's Open Personnel File."
Pete Lembo, Ball State. If Ball State defeats a team from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 or SEC, Lembo's assistant coaches get to share $25,000. The Cardinals have done so once in 2013, beating Virginia 48-27 on Oct. 5. The assistants will add to that pool if the team wins the MAC West Division, the MAC championship game and/or a bowl game.
P.J. Fleck, Western Michigan. That the Broncos are currently 1-8 won't impact this potential bonus: Fleck will receive bonuses for each player selected first- or second-team academic all-conference, first-team academic all-district and first-team academic All-American. Fleck will also earn a bonus based on the team's grade-point average.
IRS:Tax-free buyouts? Coaches are taking chances with the IRS
Tommy Tuberville, Cincinnati. As part of his deal with the Bearcats, Tuberville – formerly of Auburn and Texas Tech – agreed to provide the school with a gift of $5,000 per month, beginning in August 2013, to benefit Cincinnati's Olympics athletic programs.
Todd Graham, Arizona State. If ASU fires Graham because of NCAA or conference rules violation, he must pay the university up to $100,000 if it sustains damages "as a direct result of a significant or repetitive violation" that occurred under his watch.
Bobby Wilder, Old Dominion. Wilder cannot get any team-performance bonuses this season during Old Dominion's inaugural season in the FBS. (ODU is not eligible for a bowl game as an independent in 2013 before joining Conference USA in 2014.) So, under a contract that was overhauled as part of program's move from the FCS, Wilder instead will get $25,000 if he remains ODU's coach on Jan. 1. Beginning next season, he will be eligible for a maximum of a little more than $500,000 in bonuses.
QUIRKINESS:Some other strange quirks from coaches' contracts
Mark Stoops, Kentucky. Like every coach in the FBS, Stoops has agreed to participate in various radio and television programs related to Kentucky's football program. In addition, however, Stoops has written into his contract an agreement stating he will "participate and cooperate in rehearsal and production sessions for each multiple media session as requested." And there's more: Stoops "shall promptly comply with whatever reasonable instructions, suggestions, and recommendations the University may give to him in connection with the rendition of such services."
Charlie Strong, Louisville. Strong's contract includes several longevity bonuses aimed at enticing the highly successful coach to remain with the program. If still with the program on June 30, 2015, Strong will be entitled to a bonus payment of $1.25 million. A year later, he is entitled to a bonus of $1 million. In 2017, Strong would receive a bonus of $200,000; he would also receive $200,000 on June 30, 2018.
Butch Jones, Tennessee. Jones stands to lose a chunk of change if his team falls below a certain Academic Progress Report standard. Beginning with the 2013-14 year – Jones' first at Tennessee – if the Volunteers' APR dips below 930 he would forfeit $50,000 of his annual compensation for the following season.

Well I have been editing since the back end of 2003, Christmas time when i got my new computer. I did a lot of small projects using Windows Movie Maker, a truly "Superior" program, not anything that spawned from this is even worth a mention.
What inspired me to even start editing was the first AMV I seen while I was hunting for DBZ clips around the internet back on my friends 56k internet. This AMV was a DBZ one I dont know the song, nor was even able to view the entire thing due to 56k. After a while I tried Adobe Premiere on my old computer and it barely ran smoothly so I decided to wait for my new one. Christmas came and I got onto practicing some stuff with Premiere. "YCMII" was born, nothing great now but an achievement for me back then. When the Video was completed and uploaded I instantly began work on my next video, I was addicted to the whole "editing" thing.
I began making IdiotecK quite a large leap for me as it was the video where I started using effects. It took me so long to even do the first few seconds as I was experimenting and trying different things. The entire video was very time consuming since it was entirely made up of "trial and Error"
I sent some betas around to some friends of the AMV world, and it reached Requiett who seemed to like the idea and like my style and perhaps saw potential thus I was offered a place in "12th Illusion Studios"
I was overjoyed, cause in my eyes I was just a newb I guess he was daring to give me a place since the video werent even finish and he didnt know much about my skill (if I had any back then)...but he obviously had some faith.
I worked even harder on effects since I knew it was an effect orientated studio. At this point I didnt really have my own "style" but this new found "effect" style flourished in me and I grew accustomed to it.
I looked up to Requiett and thought of him as a superior (still do) as he was such a great editor. He helped me a great deal with ideas and general advice and editing tips. He is some what, a type of role model, something for me to aim to and aspire to.
Anyways idioteck was released and proved some what successful in the sense it was better than the video I made previous to it.
I am always willing to hear peoples opinions on my work, to in turn help me get better.
Please enjoy my videos and the rest of the studios work.
