Football Reparking Overview
In the summer of 2012, the Duke Club board approved the adoption of football reparking on an annual basis beginning in 2013. Prior to every football season parking locations will be re-assigned based on donor level and in order of Duke Club Priority Points. Donors who wish to forego the annual reparking process can maintain their current parking space and receive a Reparking Exemption by giving at a donor level above that required for their lot. The Reparking Exemption only allows a donor to maintain their current spot, and is not applicable to any requests to move.
Reparking Communication Timeline
In an effort to educate donors and football season ticket holders regarding the reparking process, the Duke Club and Athletics Ticket Office released several reparking related materials over the past year. These materials can be reviewed below:

2012 Parking Data - Rank Breakdown
Lot | # of Parking Space in Lot |
Top 25% Donor Rank |
Top 50% Donor Rank |
Top 75% Donor Rank |
Deck | 265 | 109 | 250 | 466 |
Godwin Field | 185 | 106 | 220 | 357 |
Hanson Field | 78 | 321 | 561 | 744 |
G-Lot | 91 | 389 | 551 | 771 |
P-Lot | 247 | 494 | 680 | 850 |
Convo | 129 | 1,151 | 1,483 | 1,786 |
*The above chart is based on donor rankings from 2012 to show where individuals may fall for reparking.
**For example: If Donor A parks in Godwin Field and has a ranking of 105, he/she would fall in the top 25% of donors within that lot.
Reparking Examples
Donor A: Currently parks in Godwin Field and makes a $3,500 gift.
A Director's Level ($2,000) gift is required to park on Godwin Field. Donor A will receive a Reparking Exemption by giving at the Crown Level ($3,500), which means they will not be subject to reparking. If Donor A wishes to relocate their parking, they will participate in reparking and select their new space based on priority points.
Donor B: Currently parks in Godwin Field and makes a $2,000 gift.
Donor B will qualify to park in Godwin Field but it is not guaranteed. Donor B will participate in the reparking process and select their space based on priority points.
Donor C: Currently parks in P-Lot and makes a $1,000 gift.
In 2013, all spaces in P-Lot will become assigned for the first time. Because Donor C is currently in the lot and makes a gift at a level above the required amount for P-Lot, they will receive a Reparking Exemption and be guaranteed to stay in the lot. They will select their space based on priority points. In future years Donor C will be able to retain the spot they select in 2013, by maintaining a gift that qualifies for a Reparking Exemption.
Donor D: New season ticket holder makes $300 gift.
Donor D qualifies for C4 Lot with their gift, which is an unassigned lot. This means on gameday all spaces are first come first serve. If the lot reaches capacity, access will be determined by priority points. If Donor D does not get into C4 based priority points they will park in D2.
Donor E: Currently parks in Champions Deck and makes $2,000 gift with request to move to Godwin Field.
Donor E does not make a Reparking Exemption level gift for Godwin Field or Champions Deck, and therefore, is subject to reparking.
Donor F: Currently parks in G-Lot and makes $2,000 gift with request to move to Godwin Field if possible.
Donor F qualifies to park in Godwin Field based on their Director's Level ($2,000) gift and will select their parking in order of priority points. If Donor F is unable to attain spot in Godwin Field, their gift will provide them a Reparking Exemption for G-Lot. Since G-Lot will become assigned spaces for the first time in 2013, Donor F may use their exemption to guarantee they remain in the lot, but they will select their assigned space based on priority points.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Duke Club football reparking?
Duke Club priority reparking is a process that allows active Duke Club members to upgrade their respective parking by accumulating points through their support of the program. Priority Points are calculated based on various factors, including annual and lifetime giving, season ticket purchases and consecutive years as a donor. JMU Athletics will begin reparking football annually in order of Duke Club rank.
Will the minimum donation requirement for any parking lot increase?
No. The only change to parking in 2013 will be the new reparking structure. All minimum donation requirements for football parking lots will remain the same. However, an individual may be exempt from the reparking process by donating at the next level. Please see the reparking chart below for more details.

2013 Required Level
Re-Parking Exemption
Godwin Field |
Champions Deck |
Hanson Field |
G-Lot |
P-Lot |
What happens if I do not make my Duke Club contribution by the priority deadline?
Duke Club donors who do not pledge and pay 50% of their annual, unrestricted gift by the priority deadline (May 15) will not have their priority points calculated for the football reparking.
What happens if I do not renew or order my season tickets by the priority deadline?
In order to take part in reparking each year, we must receive your season ticket renewal and Duke Club gift by May 15. Orders received after May 15 will not be included in the football reparking.
How do I select my parking space?
If eligible for reparking, you will receive an email with your allotted time and log in information. Upon receiving this email, you may log in to JMUreparking.com to review the parking maps and available lots. When your allotted time begins you may select your space. Click here to view a reparking demonstration.
When will I be able to know where my parking pass will be?
If no one can come at your allotted time, the Duke Club will review the preferences you provided and best accommodate your request based on availability. You must purchase the selected seats annually in order to maintain them for the next four years.
Which reserved lots have specific parking spaces that are individually assigned?
The only lots that have individually assigned spaces are Champions Deck, Godwin Field, Hanson Field, G-Lot, and P-Lot.
I am in P-Lot or G-Lot, How will my spot be assigned in 2013?
In 2013, P-Lot and G-Lot will become spot specific parking lots, meaning you will have a space assigned to you that you must park in. Spaces will be chosen in order of Duke Club Priority Rankings.
Is it possible to park with the same people I have parked with in the past?
Yes. If you would like to park with someone please indicate this on your parking preferences. The individual with the lower priority total determines the location of the whole group. This only applies for reserved parking lots (Champions Deck, Godwin Field, Hanson Field, G-Lot, P-Lot).
How can I keep my exact spot?
This only applies to Champions Deck, Godwin Field, and Hanson Field. You can keep your current parking space with a "reparking exemption" gift. This will allow you to maintain your current spot, not any other spot in your current lot or any other lot.
What is "Reparking Exemption"?
To maintain a current parking spot, a donor will receive a "Reparking Exemption" by donating at the level above the required amount for that specific lot.
What is the advantage of football reparking annually?
Re-assigning parking gives individuals the opportunity to improve parking based on the amount of priority points accumulated since the last year. The priority point system governs upgrades of parking locations for existing donors and new donors. The system is intended to promote fairness, reward the loyalty of our long-time supporters and encourage current contributors to the Duke Club.

Jacksonville College soccer coach Rafael Gonzalez turned to tiny Athens Christian Preparatory Academy for the Lady Jaguars' two latest signees.
Katie West and Cayla Chanie, who both went through an open tryout last month on campus, put the pen on the paper on Wednesday to make their intentions official.
Chanie said in an interview with the Athens Daily Review, that being able to play at the college level along side her best friend was quite special.
"She (West) has been my best friend since I was a little kid, s it is great to play with her," Chanie said. "I (also) like the fact that it (Jacksonville College) is close to home with a nice environment. (Coach Gonzalez) is a great coach and I really like him a lot."
Jacksonville College will be fielding men's and women's soccer teams for the first time this fall.

Personally I like to chunk and wind, throw and go, and burn up the water with my lures. I'm in a hurry to catch bass. When bass are active these methods work. But what do you do when you are in an area that is known for holding good size bass but they are reluctant to bite? Simply put, you slow down and then slow down some more.

And yet another award…this one is for awarding those "special" people. You know…the ones you want to slap, but you're above all that.
The Story Of The Hertz Donut
A snotty rich man came to a car dealership, picking and arguing and generally dismissing every car the harried salesman could show him. Finally, having had enough, the salesman sighed, theatrically, and shook his head. "I don't know…only thing I can think of is the new Hertz Donut…but you wouldn't be interested in that. Here, let's go look at this one."
The rich man was intrigued, and as he walked behind the salesman, he stated "Enough! I want to see the Hertz Donut!" The salesman stopped, and looked back with a surprised look. "You do? It's pretty expensive…" "I can afford it…I can afford anything I want!" sniffed the rich man. "Now show me, or I'll buy this miserable place just so I can fire you."
The salesman turned away so that the man couldn't see the gleam in his eyes, and nodded. "Alright then…I guess I'll have to show you. We keep it around back…" He began walking around the building, the rich man close on his heels. They approached a small locked shed, which the salesman unlocked and gestured the rich man to come forward, to look.
As he moved forward, the salesman moved back, making sure he was out of sight of the security camera's…and as the rich man was peering into the dark shed, the salesman reared back and delivered a strong kick right at the rich mans richly trousered rear end. He tumbled forward, scrambled up with an outraged look on his face. "What in the hell was that for?"
The salesman just grinned, standing there, hands in his pocket, as he said… "Hurts, don't it?"
So, yeah. To claim this award there are a few questions to answer. You can either answer them here in the comments or somewhere else and link to it.
5 attitudes you hate/dislike
5 pet peeves
5 annoying quirks

Does what was expected!Pros: 16GB is a good size I couldn't find enough music in my library to sync that much, phone read the card with no issues! Cons: Didn't arrive sooner? But that is to be expected with newegg saver shipping. Other Thoughts: Popped it into my LG Motion 4G android phone, phone recognized the card with no issues. I think I read somewhere that this phone had some issues with the microSD interface, but it is worth it to spend a couple extra bucks on a decent microSD. SanDisk has been making microSD ever since they came out, I have a 64MB SanDisk microSD card that still functions fine and that was an influence on the brand I purchased! WORTH IT! Also keep in mind that they measure 1GB = 1000MB so its not 1024MB per GB, but if you know anything about storage that's expected! Did you find this review helpful? |

Pros: great for smartphones, no problems whatsoever. Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Works Great with me HTC EVO 4G!!!Pros: Bought for an HTC EVO 4G. With my very average to low tech knowledge was fairly 'fool proof' to install. Just pop the old one out and slid this baby in! I noticed extreme speed increases in processed like deleting entire picture folders containing images in counts of anywhere from 30 - 300. The factory card used to make that process a chore; with completion times between 1 and 3 minutes. Now I can delete an entire picture library of 350+/- photos on my phone in maybe 15 seconds. Like I said, not sure how the speed rating compares to the factory HTC EVO 4G card, but in using it I can see a dramatic improvement. And on top of that I have around 15 gigs of card space! And for the price, this is a steal! Seriously, thanks NewEgg! Cons: Umm... None...? My only complaint is with Sprint for not putting in a decent card to begin with on a $300-$400 phone! But one again, this SanDisk 16GB Micro SDHC flash card AND NewEgg.com met and EXCEEDED expectations! Thanks guys & gals!! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Cons: None so far, installation & usage was simple, no problems encountered and like I said the price is excellent. Other Thoughts: I bought two of these & a dual adapter for my PSP, and had it working in less than a minute. Simply install the first chip, format, install the second chip, and format again, and you have a PSP with 29GB of working memory. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Baking: Mint and Halloumi Bread
Paul Hollywood's book is alright, with quite a few interesting looking and unusual bread recipes that I'm tempted to try. It has a short introductory chapter about the history of bread and some useful breadbaking hints and tips, but it's a book for wide rather than specialist audience. I suspect lots of the recipes have been simplified, which is good, especially if you're looking something easy to bake on a spur of the moment late at night. However, I have a feeling that recipes have not always been properly tested and the editing is poor as well. Think of the above mentioned mastic and mahlepi. On page 78 Hollywood specifies that 'mastika and mechlebe are spices and seeds used in many Greek/Cypriot dishes. They have a similar flavour to fennel or aniseed, which you can use to replace them. However, most good health food shops will stock them'. But in the Index of the book there are entries for 'meclebe' and 'methlepi'!?!? How did they get the spelling wrong twice and didn't it occur to them that 'meclebe' and 'methlepi' are the same thing and should actually be spelt 'mechlebi', as it was in the recipes? Or maybe mahlepi, as it is usually spelt in English.
Incorrect spelling and amounts aside, the recipes are tempting. The first recipe I tried was Halloumi and Mint Bread (p 80). I quite enjoyed the recipe, though again, I think the recipe wasn't correct. Trying to mix 2 packets – that's 500 grams – of chopped halloumi cheese into a dough made with 500 grams of flour is ambitious. I also think that 20 grams of dried mint (that's 4 commercial glass spice pots!!!) is outrageous, especially as on the accompanying photo the bread is anything but full of mint (I simply omitted the '0' from the recipe). I've also more than halved the amount of salt in the recipe, as cheese is quite salty already**. I suspect that Paul Hollywood's recipe was originally for more than 1 loaf and while reducing the amount of flour, amounts for some of the other ingredients have remained unchanged. But the bread itself is easy and tasty, soft and dense at the same time and duly recommended. I think I've got the amounts correct here.
Halloumi and Mint Bread
Adapted from Paul Hollywood's book 100 Great Breads
500 g strong white flour
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp olive oil
30 g fresh yeast
2-3 dl warm water
250 g halloumi cheese cut into small pieces
a generous tbsp of dried mint
Mix flour, salt, olive oil and yeast in a big bowl, adding water gradually (you may need less, as you're just trying to bring the ingredients together). Knead for about 8 minutes (or 5, if you are using a mixer). Cover the bowl with a clean towel or clingfilm and leave to rise for 1 hour.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Add the cheese and dried mint to the dough and shape into a longish loaf. Lift to the baking tray and leave to rise for another hour.
Dust the top of the loaf with some flour and bake in a preheated 220˚C/425˚F oven for 25-30 minutes. The bread should be golden brown and crisp on the top.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool, and cover with a kitchen towel if you want just slightly softer top.
Here's a version I made in early June – with 2 packets of halloumi cheese trying to escape the bread :)
And here's a slightly modified version I made yesterday – using mint as well as some Greek oregano, 1 packet of halloumi cheese (that proved to be more than enough) and some pitted Greek style black olives that I had in my cupboard after making my entry for the Paper Chef # 8 (therefore the dark speckles that you may have mistaken for burnt cheese):
And finally a close-up of the bread – note the salty white dots of halloumi cheese:
It's almost time for lunch now, so I'm going to have some of the halloumi, olive, mint and oregano bread with some tea..

** I also had to modify his recipe for Tsoureki considerably, as I was reluctant to use 30 grams of _dried_ yeast and 15 grams of salt per half a kilo of flour again:)

hi pille, love the sounds and looks of that halloumi bread - adore halloumi, especially grilled or panfried and tossed into a salad...hmm...cheers,j

Good adaptation of that recipe. I'm a big fan of Paul Hollywood. Watching him on TV was how I finally got a good technique for kneading dough. Before that, I think it was rather embarassing to have anyone watch me!

Hi Pille,
The bread looks great. It would have been a disaster if I had been using that cookbook, my bread would have been green and runny with all the mint and cheese I would have thrown in there. :) But your end result looks wonderful! - 11:30 am, July 15, 2005

J - I'm a recent convert to halloumi as well. At first I found it far too rubbery, but now I like the way the cheese retains some bite after baking/grilling/frying.
nic - thanks! As I said, the recipes in the book look tempting, so I'll be trying many more of them (and blog-share the final results with you). I'll just be stingy with salt and yeast:)
Michele - I guess few years ago I would have tried much harder to knead all 500 grams of cheese and 20 grams of mint into the dough, as I was more strict in following recipe instructions. But you learn to be slightly sceptical as you become more confident. Especially with cheese the previous time it just seemed so obviously too much - there wasn't just enough dough, and I kept eating the halloumi pieces that wouldn't fit in:) Thank you for your kind words.

Hello Pille,
today I wrote an entry of a loaf (farl) from Paul Holywood's "100 Great Breads". While googling I stumbled upon the bread you baked. It really looks good! I also find the amount of salt way to much (normally I use 2% - baker's percent) and will reduce it in my next tries.
Happy baking :-) - 8:32 pm, September 29, 2006

Stephen Colbert is known as a super fan of everything J.R.R. Tolkien, Comedy Central reports. With "The Hobbit" arriving in theaters, he is devoting this week to everything "Hobbit." On Monday, he had Sir Ian McKellan drop by. Tonight, Martin Freeman, who plays Bilbo Baggins, is the guest. Director Peter Jackson is on Wednesday, and Andy Serkis (playing Gollum) will chat with Colbert on Thursday. If you're not a regular watcher, Comedy Central reminds us that the host has digressed from many seemingly normal conversations to talk about "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings." In other words, prepare for Colbert to geek out. 11:30 p.m. Comedy Central
The Travel Channel has brought us plenty of food and lifestyle shows. This series delves into sports, presumably with some travel features on Cleveland. The series goes behind the scenes with the Browns and includes footage of the major logistics required to transport the 150-member team from city to city, as well as what it takes to get the stadium ready. The Travel Channel notes that the NFL is giving cameras "unprecedented access" to these activities. 10 p.m. Travel Channel
Last week, the inevitable happened. Fox revealed that "The Mob Doctor" will end. One of the most-panned shows of the season stars the appealing Jordana Spiro, so she likely will land in another show better suited to her skills. The final episodes will air Dec. 29 and 31, Jan. 5 and 7.
Meanwhile, the CW canceled "Emily Owens, M.D." All remaining episodes will air Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
I was excited when I thought the new reality series "Get Out Alive With Bear Grylls" was holding a casting call here. Alas, the audition is in Fayetteville,Ark. If you're still interested in surviving in the wild, the show is looking for adventurous duos who are at least 21 years old. Go to nbcbearshow.com for details.

I was expecting a lot from Etymotic, the company that pioneered in-ear headphones. Usually big expectations come with big disappointments (Phantom Menace anyone?), but thankfully that was not to be the case here.
The phones created an unbelievably tight seal and raised (or lowered) noise isolation to a new level. Once the phones were in place, all outside sounds disappeared and it felt like I'd locked myself inside a vault. These would be great for commuters who don't even listen to music-they are that good. I didn't score them a 5 for comfort just because there is some pressure in the ears that makes me wonder how long I could leave them in.
Any contact with the cabling leading to your ears really transmits noise, which was incredibly distracting. I couldn't change positions in my chair - let alone walk or jog - without tons of shuffling noise. Then I discovered the included cable clip and secured the cable to my shirt, greatly eliminating this distraction.
Sound quality was just terrific, regardless of genre. Because the background noise was wiped out, you could really hear every detail and nuance of the music. Highs were detailed and precise without crossing the line into being shrill. While they didn't plumb the bass depths of the Denon's, there was enough depth and punch to easily stand up to the cacophony of Blue Man Group or anything else I threw at them. And this was a lot since these phones had me whizzing through my iPod's contents eager to listen to all of my favorites.

I think of Etymotic the same way I think of most audiophile brands-as a purveyor of gear that thrills enthusiasts but presents too many peculiarities for practical use. The hf5 would seem to follow that pattern. Its long, tube-shaped driver housings couldn't even hide inside Barack Obama's ears. In fact, they're so long that the hf5s didn't fit easily under the straps of my bike helmet-and there's no way they could fit comfortably under a ski hat. Plus, they have a filter that you have to clean with a special tool, a process that seems overly fussy for a set of earphones.
However, I loved the compressible foam earpieces Etymotic offers. They look like the disposable ones you get for mowing the lawn, and they're just as effective at blocking external sound. For me, they held the hf5 securely and comfortably.
Which is good because you may never want to take these things out. They deliver incredible detail and snap, yet they never sound etched or bright or annoying. Acoustic stringed instruments sound like they're right in the room with you. The bass doesn't rock you as it does with many earphones, but it sounds accurate and it doesn't distort when you push up the volume. These are some of the best audio transducers I've ever heard. Wow. My listening notes included the word "frigging" five times, always followed by a positive adjective like "awesome."

The Etymotic hf5 offered the most fit options, yet for me the compressed foam gave me the most comfortable fit and best sound isolation. Even so, they still never felt seated properly. They stick out uncomfortably, and no positioning of the cables got them settled in.
Slight discomfort can be forgiven if the sound was incredible. Unfortunately, this was not the case with the hf5. Any complex sources were distorted, even at moderate listening levels. The hf5 were also very bright, and had a tendency to bring out the worst in an MP3 file, accentuating digital artifacts in Gomez's "See The World". The thin bass didn't help this situation.
Mike Gaughn Ranking: 3
The Eytmotics and the Denons were the only two sets of buds that felt at all uncomfortable to me. The Etymotics protrude so far from your ears that it's hard to keep them well-seated, which meant that more ambient noise leaked in than it did with most of the others. The sound on "It Makes No Difference Now" was trebly and just a touch hard. There was nothing egregiously wrong with this, but, for instance, I know that the saxes on this track just don't sound that thin. Overall, I found the Eytmotics clear, cold, and analytical. I could hear all of the details in the Charles mix, but everything was a bit harsh-and a bit bass shy. I had a similar impression of "Insensatez," which sounded cold, with sizzly highs, a strong midrange, and slightly thin bass. I was again struck by how analytical the Etymotics sounded, lacking presence and warmth. Not surprisingly, the opening drum hits on "Frank Sinatra" were papery, without the necessary depth. Everything came across super-clean but trebly, too. While I had some minor qualms about the Etymotics' sound, they're obviously a good pair of earbuds, and I can see where what seemed analytical to me could come across as natural or accurate for somebody else.

The Ascent brews 12 ounces of cafe-quality coffee in under 30 seconds
BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Concordia Beverage Systems, Inc., a global leader in self-serve super-automated coffee systems, announced the launch of the Ascent, its latest innovation in specialty coffee solutions. The Ascent eliminates a crucial dilemma facing purveyors of gourmet brewed coffee: the tradeoff between speed and high quality taste. Using proprietary low-pressure brewing technology, the Ascent brewer system pours a cup of cafe-quality brewed coffee in under 30 seconds, grinding fresh beans, heating filtered water, and extracting the perfect cup.

While espresso-based coffee drinks have seen rapidly increasing popularity in the U.S. for nearly two decades, the market for commercial automated coffee equipment is still dominated by traditional brewers. These machines comprise 96.5% of the market, according to recent research conducted by Concordia. In the past, coffee vendors had to choose between speed and taste: either a machine that churns out brewed coffee quickly or one that produces the kind of slow-brewed cafe-quality coffee preferred by the growing population of coffee fanatics and aficionados. The Ascent fulfills vendors' needs for speed without sacrificing flavor.
The Ascent's unique single-serve brewing process eliminates the need to brew large batches of coffee (or throw away old batches that have gone stale), helping to reduce overall coffee costs by up to 20% in field trials. To improve taste, it does not use any filters or other consumables that remove beneficial oils and aromatics from the customer's cup. The Ascent can brew up to two types of gourmet coffee, and pours three different drink sizes in addition to multiple carafe sizes. It can even pour iced coffee.
About Concordia Beverage Systems:
Here in the Northwest, we're known for a couple of things: innovative technology and an enthusiasm for coffee that borders on obsession. Founded and headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, Concordia Beverage Systems offers a full-range of super-automatic espresso machines and fully-integrated beverage systems to meet the unique needs of customer operations.

For all campuses, as the utilization of a building diminishes during the day or evening, Public Safety locks the building. These buildings are patrolled throughout the night on a random basis to ensure the safety and security of the campus. The same procedure is repeated during the weekend hours. On the Staten Island campus, Public Safety locks many of the classrooms after the last class of the day.
Students, faculty and staff are required to show valid St. John's ID in order to gain entrance into the University Center, Alumni Hall, Libraries, Computer Center and St. Albert Hall (After 11 p.m.) on the Queens campus and the Gym, Campus Center and the Library on the Staten Island campus. Public Safety personnel are stationed at the entrance points to check all persons entering the building. If an individual, regardless of status, does not have valid identification he/she should report to:
Department of Student Life University Center Student Service Window, Queens - x6257 or Campus Center B11, Staten Island - x4443
to obtain proper identification.
There are 14 emergency phones located throughout the Queens campus and there are 27 emergency telephones located in the new parking garages. The Staten Island campus has five emergency telephones. The emergency telephones can be identified by the blue lights hanging above them. These phones provide the University populace with a direct line to Public Safety. The phones are for emergency use only, which can be, but is not limited to: car trouble, for which Public Safety can be of assistance; injury, especially when an ambulance is required; crime prevention, whether a crime is in progress or the potential for a crime is suspected; and need for the escort service.

Africa (Encyclopedia of Environmental Issues, Revised Edition)
The image of the African continent containing primarily dense tropical jungles holds true for limited regions only—those near the equator and subject to heavy seasonal rainfall. In fact, Africa has several different environmental regions. These correspond mainly, but not only, to relative latitudinal position north or south of the equator. Geographers generally separate the continent into five zones: North, South, East, West, and Central. The environmental conditions that are found in the zones vary widely.

General Environmental Characteristics (Encyclopedia of Environmental Issues, Revised Edition)
In comparison to other continents, Africa possesses relatively few major mountain ranges. The most important tectonic upliftings are in South Africa—notably the Drakensberg range, which is 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) long, with elevations reaching in places nearly 3,500 meters (11,500 feet)—and in the northwestern and northeastern areas of the continent (the Aurès and Atlas mountains in Tunisia and Morocco, and the Simyen and Bale mountains in Ethiopia). The geology of the Ethiopian ranges, which boast peaks such as Ras Dashen in the Simyens, more than 4,500 meters (14,800 feet) high, and many volcanic peaks, is closely connected with the tectonic phenomena that created the Great Rift Valley running north to south from the Red Sea to Malawi in Southern Africa.
Whereas these long ranges contribute to extensive regional environmental patterns—combining patterns of flora and fauna that determine the livelihoods of entire sections of Africa—other quite different mountains (mostly volcanic "monoliths") lend themselves to more localized environmental, and therefore human cultural, settings. Prototypical examples would be Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania (the latter being the highest mountain in Africa—reaching almost 6,000 meters, or 19,700 feet) and Mount Cameroon near the Gulf of Guinea coast in West Africa. Mount Kenya became the site of one of Africa's earliest national...

Environmental Issues (Encyclopedia of Environmental Issues, Revised Edition)
Among the environmental issues affecting Africa are concerns about declining numbers and even extinctions of indigenous plant and animal species. The list of menaced African species ranges from the cichlid tropical fish populations in East Africa's freshwater lakes through the African elephant.
Various factors have caused a sharp decline in what was once a thriving habitat for more than five hundred species of cichlids in Lake Victoria. It is estimated that almost half of the cichlids have disappeared as the result of the decision to introduce Nile perch into the lake waters to increase local fishing harvests for food and commercial sale. The nonnative perch proved to be predatory and fed off the local cichlid populations.
There are many other examples of rising concerns among environmentalists who study declining numbers of animal species that were once very numerous in different areas of Africa. Those that have drawn the greatest attention are the large mammals, including mountain gorillas, elephants, and members of the "great cat" family (lions, leopards, and cheetahs). Questionable human actions—including poaching for food or trophies—are generally behind the threats to these species.
By the end of the twentieth century, organized conservation efforts were on the rise in Africa. The obvious importance of saving large game species led, for example, to "safari tourism" in protected parks....

Africa (Encyclopedia of Science)
Africa is the world's second largest continent, encompassing an area of 11,677,240 square miles (30,244,051 square kilometers), including offshore islands. Recognized as the birthplace of the human race and of many other animal and plant species, it also possesses the world's richest and most concentrated deposits of minerals such as gold, diamonds, uranium, chromium, cobalt, and platinum.
Origin of Africa
Geologically, Africa is 3.8 billion years old (Earth is 4.6 billion years old). Present-day Africa, occupying one-fifth of Earth's land surface, is the central remnant of the ancient southern supercontinent called Gondwanaland, a landmass once made up of South America, Australia, Antarctica, India, and Africa. This massive supercontinent broke apart between 195 million and 135 million years ago, split by the same geological forcesontinental drifting, earthquakes, volcanoshat continue to transform Earth's crust today.
General features
Africa has fewer high peaks than any other continent and few extensive mountain ranges. The major ranges are the Atlas Mountains along the northwest coast and the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa.

Africa (World of Earth Science)
From the perspective of geologists and paleontologists, Africa takes center stage in the physical history and development of life on Earth. Africa is the world's second largest continent. Africa possesses the world's richest and most concentrated deposits of minerals such as gold, diamonds, uranium, chromium, cobalt, and platinum. It is also the cradle of human evolution and the birthplace of many animal and plant species, and has the earliest evidence of reptiles, dinosaurs, and mammals.
Present-day Africa, occupying one-fifth of Earth's land surface, is the central remnant of the ancient southern super-continent called Gondwanaland, a landmass once made up of South America, Australia, Antarctica, India, and Africa. This massive supercontinent broke apart between 195 million and 135 million years ago, cleaved by the same geological forces that continue to transform Earth's crust today.
Plate tectonics are responsible for the rise of mountain ranges, the gradual drift of continents, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. The fracturing of Gondwanaland took place during the Jurassic Period, the middle segment of the Mesozoic Era when dinosaurs flourished on Earth. It was during the Jurassic that flowers made their first appearance, and dinosaurs like the carnivorous Allosaurus and plant eating Stegasaurus lived.
Geologically, Africa is 3.8 billion years old, which means that in its present form or joined with other continents as it was in the past, Africa has existed for four-fifths of Earth's 4.6 billion years. Africa's age and geological continuity are unique among continents. Structurally, Africa is composed of five cratons (structurally stable, undeformed regions of Earth's crust). These cratons, in south, central, and west Africa are mostly igneous granite, gneiss, and basalt, and formed separately between 3.6 and 2 billion years ago, during the Precambrian Era.
The Precambrian, an era which comprises more than 85% of the planet's history, was when life first evolved and the earth's atmosphere and continents developed. Geochemical analysis of undisturbed African rocks dating back 2 billion years has enabled paleoclimatologists to determine that Earth's atmosphere contained much higher levels of oxygen than today.
Africa, like other continents, "floats" on a plastic layer of Earth's upper mantle called the asthenosphere. The overlying rigid crust or lithosphere can be as thick as 150 mi (240 km) or under 10 mi (16 km), depending on location. The continent of Africa sits on the African plate, a section of the earth's crust bounded by mid-oceanic ridges in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The entire plate is creeping slowly toward the northwest at a rate of about 0.75 in (2 cm) per year.
The African plate is also spreading or moving outward in all directions, and therefore Africa is growing in size. Geologists state that sometime in the next 50 million years, East Africa will split off from the rest of the continent along the East African rift which stretches 4,000 mi (6,400 km) from the Red Sea in the north to Mozambique in the south.
Considering its vast size, Africa has few extensive mountain ranges and fewer high peaks than any other continent. The major ranges are the Atlas Mountains along the northwest coast and the Cape ranges in South Africa. Lowland plains are also less common than on other continents.
Geologists characterize Africa's topography as an assemblage of swells and basins. Swells are rock strata warped upward by heat and pressure, while basins are masses of lower lying crustal surfaces between swells. The swells are highest in East and central West Africa where they are capped by volcanic flows originating from the seismically active East African rift system. The continent can be visualized as an uneven tilted plateau, one that slants down toward the north and east from higher elevations in the west and south.
During much of the Cretaceous Period, from 130 million to 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs like tyrannosaurus, brontosaurus, and triceratops walked the earth, Africa's coastal areas and most of the Sahara Desert were submerged underwater. Global warming during the Cretaceous Period melted polar ice and caused ocean levels to rise. Oceanic organic sediments from this period were transformed into the petroleum and natural gas deposits now exploited by Libya, Algeria, Nigeria, and Gabon. Today, oil and natural gas drilling is conducted both on land and offshore on the continental shelf.
The continent's considerable geological age has allowed more than enough time for widespread and repeated erosion, yielding soils leached of organic nutrients but rich in iron and aluminum oxides. Such soils are high in mineral deposits such as bauxite (aluminum ore), manganese, iron, and gold, but they are very poor for agriculture. Nutrient-poor soil, along with deforestation and desertification (expansion of deserts) are just some of the daunting challenges facing African agriculture in modern times.
The most distinctive and dramatic geological feature in Africa is undoubtedly the East African rift system. The rift opened up in the Tertiary Period, approximately 65 million years ago, shortly after the dinosaurs became extinct. The same tectonic forces that formed the rift valley and which threaten to eventually split East Africa from the rest of the continent have caused the northeast drifting of the Arabian plate, the opening of the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, and the volcanic uplifting of Africa's highest peaks including its highest, Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Mount Kibo, the higher of Kilimanjaro's two peaks, soars 19,320 ft (5,796 m) and is permanently snowcapped despite its location near the equator.
Both Kilimanjaro and Africa's second highest peak, Mount Kenya (17,058 ft; 5,117 m) sitting astride the equator, are actually composite volcanos, part of the vast volcanic field associated with the East African rift valley. The rift valley is also punctuated by a string of lakes, the deepest being Lake Tanganyika with a maximum depth of 4,708 ft (1,412 m). Only Lake Baikal in Eastern Russia is deeper at 5,712 ft (1,714 m).
Seismically, the rift valley is very much alive. Lava flows and volcanic eruptions occur about once a decade in the Virunga Mountains north of Lake Kivu along the western stretch of the rift valley. One volcano in the Virunga area in eastern Zaire which borders Rwanda and Uganda actually dammed a portion of the valley formerly drained by a tributary of the Nile River, forming Lake Kivu as a result.
On its northern reach, the 4,000-mi (6,400-km) long rift valley separates Africa from Asia. The rift's eastern arm can be traced from the Gulf of Aqaba separating Arabia from the Sinai Peninsula, down along the Red Sea, which divides Africa from Arabia. The East African rift's grabens (basins of crust bounded by fault lines) stretch through the extensive highlands of central Ethiopia which range up to 15,000 ft (4,500 m) and then along the Awash River. Proceeding south, the rift valley is dotted by a series of small lakes from Lake Azai to Lake Abaya and then into Kenya by way of Lake Turkana.
Slicing through Kenya, the rift's grabens are studded by another series of small lakes from Lake Baringo to Lake Magadi. The valley's trough or basin is disguised by layers of volcanic ash and other sediments as it threads through Tanzania via Lake Natron. However, the rift can be clearly discerned again in the elongated shape of Lake Malawi and the Shire River Valley, where it finally terminates along the lower Zambezi River and the Indian Ocean near Beira in Mozambique.
The rift valley also has a western arm which begins north of Lake Mobutu along the Zaire-Uganda border and continues to Lake Edward. It then curves south along Zaire's eastern borders forming that country's boundaries with Burundi as it passes through Lake Kivu and Tanzania by way of Lake Tanganyika.
The rift's western arm then extends toward Lake Nysasa (Lake Malawi). Shallow but vast, Lake Victoria sits in a trough between the rift's two arms. Although the surface altitude of the rift valley lakes like Nyasa and Tanganyika are hundreds of feet above sea level, their floors are hundreds of feet below due to their great depths.
The eastern arm of the rift valley is much more active than the western branch, volcanically and seismically. There are more volcanic eruptions in the crust of the eastern arm with intrusions of magma (subterranean molten rock) in the middle and lower crustal depths. Geologists consider the geological forces driving the eastern arm to be those associated with the origin of the entire rift valley and deem the eastern arm to be the older of the two.
It was in the great African rift valley that hominids, or human ancestors, arose. Hominid fossils of the genus Australopithicus dating 3 million years ago have been unearthed in Ethiopia and Tanzania. And the remains of a more direct ancestor of man, Homo erectus, who was using fire 500,000 years ago, have been found in Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania as well as in Morocco, Algeria, and Chad.
Paleontologists, who study fossil remains, employ radioisotope dating techniques to determine the age of hominid and other species' fossil remains. This technique measures the decay of short-lived radioactive isotopes like carbon and argon to determine a fossil's age. This is based on the radioscope's atomic half-life, or the time required for half of a sample of a radioisotope to undergo radioactive decay. Dating is typically done on volcanic ash layers and charred wood associated with hominid fossils rather than the fossils themselves, which usually do not contain significant amounts of radioactive isotopes.
Present-day volcanic activity in Africa is centered in and around the East African rift valley. Volcanoes are found in Tanzania at Oldoinyo Lengai and in the Virunga range on the Zaire-Uganda border at Nyamlagira and Nyiragongo. There is also volcanism in West Africa. Mount Cameroon (13,350 ft; 4,005 m) along with smaller volcanos in its vicinity, stand on the bend of Africa's West Coast in the Gulf of Guinea, and are the exception. They are the only active volcanoes on the African mainland not in the rift valley.
However, extinct volcanoes and evidence of their activity are widespread on the continent. The Ahaggar Mountains in the central Sahara contain more than 300 volcanic necks that rise above their surroundings in vertical columns of 1,000 ft or more. Also, in the central Sahara, several hundred miles to the east in the Tibesti Mountains, there exist huge volcanic craters or calderas. The Trou au Natron is 5 mi (8 km) wide and over 3,000 ft (900 m) deep. In the rift valley, the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, surrounded by teeming wildlife and spectacular scenery, is a popular tourist attraction. Volcanism formed the diamonds found in South Africa and Zaire. The Kimberly diamond mine in South Africa is actually an ancient volcanic neck.
The only folded mountains in Africa are found at the northern and southern reaches of the continent. Folded mountains result from the deformation and uplift of the earth's crust, followed by deep erosion. Over millions of years this process built ranges like the Atlas Mountains, which stretch from Morocco to Algeria and Tunisia.
Geologically, the Atlas Mountains are the southern tangent of the European Alps, geographically separated by the Strait of Gibraltar in the west and the Strait of Sicily in the east. The Atlas are strung across northwest Africa in three parallel arrays; the coastal, central, and Saharan ranges. By trapping moisture, the Atlas Mountains carve out an oasis along a strip of northwest Africa compared with the dry and inhospitable Sahara Desert just to the south.
The Atlas Mountains are relatively complex folded mountains featuring horizontal thrust faults and ancient crystalline cores. On the other hand, the Cape ranges are older, simpler structures, analogous in age and erosion to the Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United States. The Cape ranges rise in a series of steps from the ocean to the interior, flattening out in plateaus and rising again to the next ripple of mountains.
For a continent of its size, Africa has very few islands lying off its coast. The major Mediterranean islands of Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Crete, and Cyprus owe their origins to the events that formed Europe's Alps, and are a part of the Eurasian plate, not Africa. Islands lying off Africa's Atlantic Coast like the Canaries, Azores, and even the Cape Verde Islands near North Africa are considered Atlantic structures. Two islands in the middle of the South Atlantic, Ascension and St. Helena, also belong to the Atlantic. Islands belonging to Equatorial Guinea as well as the island country of Sao Tome and Principe at the sharp bend of Africa off of Cameroon and Gabon are related to volcanic peaks of the Cameroon Mountains, the principal one being Mount Cameroon.
Madagascar, the world's fourth largest island after Greenland, New Guinea, and Borneo, is a geological part of ancient Gondwanaland. The island's eastern two-thirds are composed of crystalline igneous rocks, while the western third is largely sedimentary. Although volcanism is now quiescent on the island, vast lava flows indicate widespread past volcanic activity. Madagascar's unique plant and animal species testify to the island's long separation from the mainland.
Marine fossils, notably tribolites dating from the Cambrian Period (50570 million years ago; the first period of the Paleozoic Era) have been found in southern Morocco and Mauritania. Rocks from the succeeding period, the Ordovician (50025 million years ago) consist of sandstones with a variety of fossilized marine organisms; these rocks occur throughout northern and western Africa, including the Sahara.
The Ordovician Period was characterized by the development of brachiopods (shellfish similar to clams), corals, starfish, and some organisms that have no modern counterparts, called sea scorpions, conodonts, and graptolites. At the same time, the African crust was extensively deformed. The continental table of the central and western Sahara was lifted up almost a mile (1.6 km). The uplifting alternated with crustal subsidings, forming valleys that were periodically flooded.
During the Ordovician Period, Africa, then part of Gondwanaland, was situated in the southern hemisphere on or near the South Pole. It was toward the end of this period that huge glaciers formed across the present-day Sahara and the valleys were filled by sandstone and glacial deposits. Although Africa today sits astride the tropics, it was once the theater of the Earth's most spectacular glacial activity. In the next period, the Silurian (42595 million years ago), further marine sediments were deposited.
The Silurian was followed by the Devonian, Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian Periods (40886 million years ago), the time interval when insects, reptiles, amphibians, and forests first appeared. A continental collision between Africa (Gondwanaland) and the North American plate formed a super-supercontinent (Pangaea) and raised the ancient Mauritanide mountain chain that once stretched from Morocco to Senegal. During the late Pennsylvanian Period, layer upon layer of fossilized plants were deposited, forming seams of coal in Morocco and Algeria.
When Pangaea and later Gondwanaland split apart in the Cretaceous Period (1446 million years ago), a shallow sea covered much of the northern Sahara and Egypt as far south as the Sudan. Arabia, subjected to many of the same geological and climatic influences as northern Africa, was thrust northward by tectonic movements at the end of the Oligocene and beginning of the Miocene Epochs (around 30 million years ago). During the Oligocene and Miocene (55 million years ago; segments of the modern Cenozoic Era) bears, monkeys, deer, pigs, dolphins, and early apes first appeared.
Arabia at this time nearly broke away from Africa. The Mediterranean swept into the resulting rift, forming a gulf that was plugged by an isthmus at present-day Aden on the Arabian Peninsula and Djibouti near Ethiopia. This gulf had the exact opposite configuration of today's Red Sea, which is filled by waters of the Indian Ocean.
As the Miocene Epoch ended about five million years ago, the isthmus of Suez was formed and the gulf (today's Red Sea) became a saline (salty) lake. During the Pliocene (1.6 million years ago) the Djibouti-Aden isthmus subsided, permitting the Indian Ocean to flow into the rift that is now the Red Sea.
In the Pleistocene Epoch (11,000.6 million years ago), the Sahara was subjected to humid and then to dry and arid phases, spreading the Sahara desert into adjacent forests and green areas. About 5,000,000 years ago in the post glacial period of the modern epoch, the Holocene, a further succession of dry and humid stages, further promoted desertification in the Sahara as well as the Kalahari in southern Africa.
Earth scientists state the expansion of the Sahara is still very much in evidence today, causing the desertification of farm and grazing land and presenting the omnipresent specter of famine in the Sahel (Saharan) region.
Africa has the world's richest concentration of minerals and gems. In South Africa, the Bushveld Complex, one of the largest masses of igneous rock on Earth, contains major deposits of strategic metals such as platinum, chromium, and vanadiumetals that are indispensable in tool making and high tech industrial processes. The Bushveld complex is about 2 billion years old.
Another spectacular intrusion of magmatic rocks composed of olivine, augite, and hypersthene occurred in the Archean Eon over 2.5 billion years ago in Zimbabwe. Called the Great Dyke, it contains substantial deposits of chromium, asbestos, and nickel. Almost all of the world's chromium reserves are found in Africa. Chromium is used to harden alloys, to produce stainless steels, as an industrial catalyst, and to provide corrosion resistance.
Unique eruptions that occurred during the Cretaceous in southern and central Africa formed kimberlite pipesertical, near-cylindrical rock bodies caused by deep melting in the upper mantle. Kimberlite pipes are the main source of gem and industrial diamonds in Africa. Africa contains 40% of the world's diamond reserves, which occur in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Angola, and Zaire.
In South Africa, uranium is found side-by-side with gold, thus decreasing costs of production. Uranium deposits are also found in Niger, Gabon, Zaire, and Namibia. South Africa alone contains half the world's gold reserves. Mineral deposits of gold also occur in Zimbabwe, Zaire, and Ghana. Alluvial gold (eroded from soils and rock strata by rivers) can be found in Burundi, Côte d'Ivoire, and Gabon.
As for other minerals, half of the world's cobalt is in Zaire and a continuation into Zimbabwe of Zairian cobalt-bearing geological formations gives the former country sizable reserves of cobalt as well. One quarter of the world's aluminum ore is found in a coastal belt of West Africa stretching 1,200 mi (1,920 km) from Guinea to Togo, with the largest reserves in Guinea.
Major coal deposits exist in southern Africa, North Africa, Zaire, and Nigeria. North Africa is awash in petroleum reserves, particularly in Libya, Algeria, Egypt, and Tunisia. Nigeria is the biggest petroleum producer in West Africa, but Cameroon, Gabon, and the Congo also contain oil reserves. There are also petroleum reserves in southern Africa, chiefly in Angola.
Most of Africa's iron reserves are in western Africa, with the most significant deposits in and around Liberia, Guinea, Gabon, Nigeria, and Mauritania. In West Africa as well as in South Africa where iron deposits are also found, the ore is bound up in Precambrian rock strata.
Africa, like other continents, has been subjected to gyrating swings in climate during the Quartenary Period of the last 2 million years. These climatic changes have had dramatic affects on landforms and vegetation. Some of these cyclical changes may have been driven by cosmic or astronomical phenomena including asteroid and comet collisions.
But the impact of humankind upon the African environment has been radical and undeniable. Beginning 2,000 years ago and accelerating to the present day, African woodland belts have been deforested. Such environmental degradation has been exacerbated by overgrazing, agricultural abuse, and man-made changes, including possible global warming partially caused by the buildup of man-made carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and other greenhouse gases.
Deforestation, desertification, and soil erosion pose threats to Africa's man-made lakes and thereby Africa's hydroelectric capacity. Africa's multiplying and undernourished populations exert ever greater demands on irrigated agriculture, but the continent's water resources are increasingly taxed beyond their limits. To stabilize Africa's ecology and safeguard its resources and mineral wealth, many earth scientists argue that greater use must be made of sustainable agricultural and pastoral practices. Progress in environmental and resource management, as well as population control is also vital.

FROM THE CDC: The Flu.gov Flu Shot Locator
Exclusive WBEN Audio On The WBEN Liveline |

Dr. Gale Burstein MD Erie County Health Commissioner |
SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS At www.facebook.com/WBEN930 or At The Bottom of this page |
The order from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo means pharmacists now have authority to give flu shots to children between 6 months and 18 years of age.
Across New York, the number of flu cases is exploding. About 19,000 have been reported so far, nearly five times as many as last year.
The good news is that the CDC said there are some signs the tough flu season may now be peaking, meaning the number of cases could start to decline over the next few weeks.

The software giant said the new agreement provides a single route for the three organizations to access Microsoft technologies in support of such IT priorities as data center consolidation, collaboration , cybersecurity , mobility, cloud computing and Big Data.
The contract was awarded to Insight Public Sector, a division of Insight Enterprises Inc., one of Microsoft's largest Large Account Resellers. Microsoft said that it will cover three-quarters of all DoD personnel, and is the most comprehensive licensing agreement the company has ever had with that agency. In addition to licensing, the agreement provides software assurance benefits and training.
$617 Million
The deal, which covers more than 2 million information technology users, is worth about $617 million. The Army expects to save over $70 million annually through the agreement and the Air Force is projecting yearly savings of $50 million. DISA said that it would see savings over 10 percent for the life of the agreement. Officials told the American Forces Press Service (AFPS) that this is the best pricing DoD has received for Microsoft desktop and server software licenses.
The agreement, DoD Deputy Chief Information Officer David L. DeVries told AFPS, is part of a "move afoot throughout the department to bring about efficiencies" in IT functions at the huge agency.
He noted that DoD is "the largest corporation out there," and added that "no one comes close to our scale , so when we talk about something that produces a standardized way of buying, installing and maintaining" enterprise software, it becomes "a huge deal." (continued...)

Many times you may have faced challenges that worn down your courage and faith. But there are countless of ways to stand up from your failures. One of these is to begin organizing your life and setting your priorities. This is the simplest step which can help you recover from the mistakes and bad choices you have made. Practical people know that there is no good in crying over spilled milk. You must brush yourself up and decide on fixing the remaining part of you. When starting over, make sure to think about realigning your goals with what you currently have. Do not think too much of getting the exact thing that you want in life. Just think of it as having several other alternatives to having a happy life.
But what is really a happy life? For most people, this has something to do with their personal relationships. And to achieve this, there is still a good reason to focus on organizing your life as this can help you put things in perspective especially the relationships with your loved ones.

Le Chateau Renaissance Up For Auction
Filed under: Estates, Auctions
Another huge home is being put up for auction. Le Chateau Renaissance is the former estate of Stephen Hilbert, the one-time head of the firm Conseco in Carmel, Indiana. Conseco, which is now insurance company CNO Financial Group Inc. is putting the home up for auction in a sealed bid auction. CNO took the house in 2005 after a dispute with Hilbert over millions he borrowed from the company to buy its stock. The bid submission deadline is August 27.
We first saw this home in 2006 when it was the the 2006 Decorators' Show House. The estate was once valued at $25 million but was listed at $20 million in 2006. An auction of the household possessions raised more than $750,000 in February 2005. More recently the home was listed at $9.9 million. With no sale, CNO decided to try the auction route instead. The seven-bedroom home is on nearly 34 acres. The 25,000 square foot main residence has a master suite with a private indoor lap pool. Continuing the fitness theme, there is also a sports pavilion with basketball and racquet ball courts, locker rooms designed to resemble Assembly Hall, the basketball arena at Indiana University. An outdoor infinity pool has a double waterfall and separate pool house. There is also a guest house and six carpeted parking bays. The Wall Street Journal reports that Hilbert has left his mark on the place in the form of lighting that bears his initials and murals one of which is a likeness of Hilbert wearing a toga (you might want to paint over that one). Bidders can tour the house until August 20, more details are available on the property website.

Jermaine Dupri pulls off an epic concert at the Fox Theater to celebrate So So Def's 20th Anniversary
By Florence Anthony
While most of us in the Jackson Family inner circle knew that Janet Jackson and Qatar billionaire Wissam Al Mana were married, I didn't have the foggiest exactly when the nuptials occurred. I was told they were in the past month or so, and, Katherine Jackson was in Qatar for the ceremony. On February 25, the following statement was released: "The rumors regarding an extravagant wedding are simply untrue. Last year we were married in a quiet, private and beautiful ceremony. Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favorite children's charities. We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy." With love, Wissam and Janet.
Django Unchained actress Kerry Washington and BFF/Mom Valerie hit up the Mattel Games Gift Lounge Backstage at the 2013 Film Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday in style. The duo was overheard telling guests that they are "extremely close" and share a love for fashion , borrowing each other's clothes constantly. When asked what she would be wearing to last Sunday's Oscars, Kerry played coy but did pick up one of the newest bras from Fashion Forms, a backless dress must-have. The actress is known for her bold fashion choices and didn't disappoint with her stunning Giambttista Valli on the Red Carpet before the award show.
