The use of curved single-edged swords – μαχαιρα/machaira* (and variants thereof) – developed during the Bronze Age in south-eastern Europe, with both the Iapodic and Liburian groups on the eastern Adriatic coast using variants of the machaira during this period (Batović 1983: 314; Dreschler-Bižić 1983:383-384). Machaira type swords also appear in the area of the Besarabi culture in the 8th c. BC (Guštin 1974: 78-79, 81-83; Tomedi 2002:112-113), and the use of this form of weapon can be traced on the Balkans throughout the Iron Age (Gaspari, Mlinar 2005).
That machaira, like the curved daggers (see 'Curved Daggers' article), were also adopted by the Balkan Celts has been confirmed by recent archaeological discoveries from sites in the western and Central Balkans (Slovenia, Serbia, Bulgaria), where such weapons have been found in Celtic warrior burials. A good example is that from burial #25 at Most na Soči in Slovenia where a late La Têne cremation burial yielded the burnt remains of a warrior accompanied by a spearhead, a bronze La Têne fibula, and a curved sword of the machaira type. Both the weapons and the fibula from the burial had been ritually 'killed' (i.e. deliberately deformed) in the typical Celtic fashion (see 'Killing the Objects').
Celtic Machaira and other Grave Goods from burial # 25 at Most na Soči
(after Gaspari, Mlinar 2005)
The sword from Most na Soči is a machaira of the Ljubljanica type, further examples of which have been found in this region at Šmihel, in Carniola, 2 from the Ljubljana moor, and a Celtic machaira with a decorated hilt discovered in the Ljubljanica river (loc cit).
Machairai of the Ljubljanica type
(1. Šmihel 2. Carniola 3. Most na Soči 4. Ljubljana moor 5. Ljubljanica river)
(after Gaspari , Mlinar 2005)
Further east, machairai were also used by the Scordisci and such have been found in Celtic warrior burials in Serbia (Todorović 1968, sl. 24, 28-31) and in northern Bulgaria at Kamburovo (Targovischte region) (Wozniak 1974, App. 1 #79; Domaradski 1984, obr. 35), and Kopanata Tumulus (Pavolche, Vratza region) (Megaw 2004). The Kamburovo and Pavolche machairai were associated with La Têne swords, shields (umbos) of the Novo Mesto type, spearheads, spurs, and a scabbard of the 'Hungarian Sword type' respectively (loc cit; see also 'Curved Daggers' article). In both cases Celtic H-shaped horse bits, similar to those found at Celtic burials such as that from Montana in n.w. Bulgaria were also discovered, logically indicating that the burials were those of horsemen.
Material, including a H-shaped horse bit, spurs, and a curved dagger, from the burial of a Scordisci Cavalry officer at Montana (N.W. Bulgaria)
(see 'Curved Daggers' article)
The use of mounted military units by the Scordisci in Thrace during the conflict with Rome in the 2nd/ 1st c. BC (see 'Scordisci Wars') is recorded in classical sources, notably the victory over the Roman forces of Lucullus at the Battle of Heraclea Sintica (today's Rupite in s.w. Bulgaria) in 114 BC when the Roman commander and 800 of his men, who had been tricked into leaving their defences, were cut to pieces by a Celtic cavalry charge (Front. Strat. 3.19:7). The traditional straight Celtic sword would logically have been unsuited to such mounted warfare, and thus the machaira was adopted as a sabre by Celtic cavalry officers in this region, due to its intrinsic balance and manageable nature.
*Although the term Machaira is today most frequently used in connection with curved single-edged swords, Xenophon's treatise on cavalry (Xen. De. re Eq. XII, 11) is the only source which clearly distinguishes between the terms machaira or single edged sabre, and xiphous, signifying a a short straight sword.

Carbondale marks 183rd anniversary of D&H
Gravity Railroad
opening recalled
CARBONDALE - On Oct. 9, 1829, the Delaware and Hudson Canal Co.'s Gravity Railroad from Carbondale to Honesdale opened its tracks.
The city commemorated the 183rd anniversary of the event with a brief ceremony at City Hall on Tuesday. Executive director of the Carbondale Historical Society and Museum, S. Robert Powell, said he hopes to remind the public of the importance D&H had in Carbondale's history.
"This really put northeastern Pennsylvania on the map," he said. "The important thing is just not to let the day go by unnoticed."
The first loads transported on the railroad contained anthracite coal, a resource he said made its own mark in history.
"Really, it began the Industrial Revolution in America," he said.
Councilman John Gigliotti stopped by the speaking engagement, adding that he hoped to see the city's history better promoted and embraced.
"This is the historical site of the first successful commercial railroad system," he said. "The focus of the nation was on Carbondale at that time."
He believes that a push to promote revitalization in Carbondale could benefit from taking advantage of its roots and reclaiming its "monumental historic past."
In the next several months, Mr. Powell said that he would like to begin a series of lectures on the D&H Gravity Railroad. Mr. Gigliotti added that he hopes to eventually see more prominent monuments of the associated sites.
"We're underpromoted," Mr. Powell said. "The history here parallels much of what they have in (Washington) D.C."

I been using this mascara for years, since my high school years and I still love it! Makes my eyelashes long and full!
I love everything that this mascara does to my eyelashes, buuuuut, half way through the day I get dark mascara circles under my eyes and even when I put powder under my eyes it still happens. I'm going to have to change mascaras now. ):
I've used this mascara for years and love it. I would give it a 5 but it seems like every tube I get has these tiny fibers in it. Could just be the tubes I get.
This is my favorite mascara I always buy it.it makes me look like I have on false lashes I just love it.
I can't stress enough how much I hate this mascara! Clumpy, non-lengthening, non-volumizing, and ugly! Whenever my friends or me wear this mascara, our lashes look disgusting! I don't recommend this mascara unless you want some laughs - or gags!

Students Creating A 'Culture of Kindness'
November 18, 2013
Even the smallest act of kindness can make the biggest difference in someone's life, a message students in Marshall County Schools are trying to promote....
Another well spent goberment GRANT! LOL

This is a wonderful idea and well needed. Personally, I have been bullied sense 2008 but a local radio station. I cry every night because nothing is done about it. Most recently I spoke with Howard Monroe on WKKX and told him that I had graduated with my Master's degree with honors. He proceeds to tell me "you have a mental problem". The same thing from Steve Novotney on facebook. "You have a mental problem" I have cried and asked why do they do this to me? I have 3 degrees now all with honors. I was proud of what I had accomplished. They bully me and ban me

There was no congratulations or any kind of thoughtfulness in their comments. It was just plain mean. Maybe the bullies don't know they are bullies. They seem to think it is funny. I don't. No one should have to endure that from anyone.

The Tuscaloosa Fire and Rescue Service was one of 50 fire departments that received an award for its work in 2011.
Departments that receive the Life Safety Achievement award must record no fire deaths in residential structures, or a 10 percent reduction of deaths from the previous year, and must demonstrate commitment to educate the community about fire prevention.
The Tuscaloosa department was the only one in Alabama to receive the award given by the National Association of State Fire Marshals Fire Research and Education Foundation and Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Co.

Shot over three days in Hollywood and downtown Los Angeles, DISCOVERED is a six episode short-form digital series that follows aspiring actress Remi Webb as she runs the gauntlet of instant celebrity. We go behind the scenes with Executive Producer Ashley Jay to find out more about the show.
I graduated with a degree in broadcast-journalism and film studies from Pepperdine University in Malibu. I started my career in acting and hosting then segued into producing with a documentary I worked on called Running Blind with The Kennedy/Marshall Company.
It's definitely never a dull moment. I like to surround myself with really positive, creative people so it's always been really rewarding. With the digital age there's a lot more freedom to be a self-starter and not have to wait around by the phone for someone to give you a break. There's really no excuse now not to pursue what you love anymore.
The show is seen through the eyes of an aspiring actress who is invited to live at the Farm after being discovered on YouTube. It's a house in the Hollywood Hills where six actors, musicians, models and DJs live together trying to make it. The series is an ensemble drama that takes cues from primetime dramas like The OC and One Tree Hill with the look and feel of reality programming like The Hills.
The script was initially conceived as an hour-long drama that I really responded to but ultimately didn't move forward at the networks. The writer Jared Battaglia and I were both alums from Pepperdine. We teamed with Alex Egan, a really edgy and subversive music video and reality TV director who had a lot of heat from working with indie rappers like Mickey Avalon. The three of us pooled our resources together and got to work on cracking the show as a short-form digital series.
We have an amazing team. Chanel Celaya is known in the Justin Bieber fandom community for her role in his "As Long As You Love Me" music video. She also appeared in 21 Jump Street where she rejected Jonah Hill's prom proposal and will next be seen in Transformers 4: Age of Extinction. Model Genevive Morton has a huge global following from her frequent appearances in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions and has a cameo in the upcoming film Horrible Bosses 2. Holden Nowell (and his abs) gained popularity as the male lead in Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" video. We also have a great DP in Erik Boccio who was able to bring in that "reality look" from his work on all six seasons of Jersey Shore.
There are quite a bit of cool twists and surprises we have planned for viewers. Our lead character Remi Webb is setup as your typical naive ingenue but it becomes clear by Episode 3 that that's not the case. Remi is a nice girl but she's got a game plan and has a secret she's keeping from everyone. Hunter (Holden Nowell) is a real live-wire with the DNA for trouble, frequently burning bridges in Hollywood. However, we'll learn that there's a pretty tragic backstory motivating his behavior. We're also laying the groundwork for big wish fulfillment elements as our characters realize their dreams in unexpected ways. Along the way we also have some juicy storylines that put the housemates through the wringer (backstabbing, drug overdoses, stalkers, etc).
Foremost, we want to make a show that viewers respond to and one that captures the aspirational fun of "living the dream." It needs to be a a show that engages fans with new media models and inspires them to get invested in these characters' lives like they have in traditional television. Our big goal is to transition DISCOVERED eventually to long-form, whether that be a half-hour incarnation like The Hills or a one-hour drama. We hope to partner with a distributor or network that can help us realize the full potential of the show.
Watch the first three episodes of DISCOVERED now!

Lately I've been haunted by Adult Education [1], a plea published in the Washington Post by a male teacher of 30 years. His request: for the Virginia public high school where he teaches to stop supporting teen moms with daycare centers, tutors and baby showers.
Visions of 8th graders with baby bumps trying to learn algebra and reach into their lockers at nine months pregnant have dogged me since reading his story. I can't imagine their reality, particularly since I barely survived pregnancy and motherhood even after waiting until I was in my 30s and in a strong career until I had children. But for me the worst part was the image of the teen moms' dropping their cute little bundles at the Tiny Titans daycare center in a new $100 million building at T.C. Williams High School. In case you were wondering about the cute name for the daycare facility, "Titans" is T.C. Williams' mascot.
First , I've gotta say there is something wrong with a world where pregnant teenagers have easy access to daycare and I don't. Now I'm in favor of public daycare as widespread as neighborhood fire departments – and yes, supported by our tax dollars. But I waited to have kids. That took decades of self-restraint, boyfriend restraint, and thousands of dollars of birth control. I was careful -- I can count with one finger the time I had unprotected sex (and to be clear here, I started having sex soon after 8th grade and got plenty).
I waited with husband number two until we were ready to have children (okay, until I was ready). Then with all three pregnancies, the nanosecond the pee stick turned positive I rushed to get my baby's name on the waitlist of good daycare. Finding good daycare in the United States made me feel like I lived in Communist Russia. So much for the chorus of "being a mom is the most important thing you'll do in your life" I'd been hearing since I was three years old. Once I actually was a mom, our society offered me essentially zero support for being a good mom, especially one who put her children in affordable, quality daycare so that I COULD return to work.
In other words, being a good mom, particularly a responsible working mother, involves a lot of hard, lonely work, self-restraint and good judgment – long before you actually become a mom. Call me crazy, but I think responsible adult moms should get the reward of taxpayer-subsidized daycare long before teen moms do.
I don't judge teenagers who have babies – at least not in a moralistic, "you bad girl" way. Wait –let me clarify – I don't judge teenagers who have sex. But using birth control is as mandatory as wearing a seat belt. Any school that offers daycare better offer free birth control and pregnancy counseling. Plus, the school should inflict the real-life punishment of being a parent while you still need a parent equally on boys and girls who make babies while they are still babies themselves. (I can see it now – a science fair project that puts new DNA technology to good use finding the teen dads -- and quickly.)
Yes, I'm with the teacher here. Part of education is getting kids to use birth control and consider other options besides becoming parents at 15 or 16. Sexually active teenagers deserve information, respect, and free birth control. But not free daycare. So let me know if there is room at Tiny Titans daycare center – 'cause I know some moms who really need those slots.

With revenue streams lagging the Budget target, the finance ministry has imposed tighter curbs on spending especially Plan expenditure by central ministries in its bid to meet the revised fiscal deficit target of 5.3% of the gross domestic product. Sources said all ministries and departments have been asked to restrict their January-March spending to under 30% of the Budget estimate for the full year, reducing bunching of expenditure in the fourth quarter. This fiscals expenditure management has already been slightly better than the previous years, with April-November expenditure at just 58% of the estimated Budget size, compared with 60.5% during the same period last year. Officials expect these measures to save R40,000-50,000 crore.
In November, the ministry had issued a circular that funds under grants-in-aid will not be released unless the state/organisation produces utilisation certificates. On the non-Plan side (where the scope for control is far more limited as the head includes salaries, interest payments, routine unavoidable expenses and subsidies) too, the expenditure department has informally asked ministries to cut expenses wherever they can. In May, the department had mandated a 10% cut in non-Plan spending. The Kelkar committee had proposed savings of R20,000 crore on the expenditure front.
The aim is to save as much as possible. Given the Plan spending budget of R5,21,025 crore, even 8-10% savings will be substantial, said an official. The budgeted growth in Plan expenditure was 22.1%. During April-November, spending on this head grew just about 10%. This partly explains why the April-November fiscal deficit was 80.4% of the Budget estimate, slightly better than 85.6% during the same period a year earlier. Slow subsidy release is another factor.
Net tax receipts have grown a mere 15% during April-November, less than the 20% annual growth projected in the Budget.
Another official said the finance ministry has asked all government departments to defer big-ticket spending till next year. It is also scrutinising social sector spending by the ministries of health and family welfare, human resource development and urban development.
The official quoted above said: Schemes like JNNURM will have some savings because many of their projects are stuck due to land- and feasibility-related issues.
With tax revenues under stress, the government was banking on the proceeds from the auction of 2G spectrum and select disinvestments. But neither may yield revenues as expected. The first auction in November raised less than a quarter of the targeted Rs 40,000 crore and a

Do conservation corridors work?
Habitat loss and fragmentation are leading threats to wildlife. About 14 percent of the earth's land surface has been set aside to conserve biodiversity. Unfortunately, these natural areas by themselves are inadequate for conserving biodiversity, especially if they become "islands" of habitat within a sea of disturbed or converted land. Thus, recent conservation efforts — costing millions of dollars — have focused on establishing conservation corridors, typically 500 m to 50 km long, between habitat preserves. Many studies have documented that animals move through short (~100 m) corridors passing through a contrasting natural land cover type. However, few studies have tested whether conservation corridors (long, wide swaths passing through human-dominated land uses) provide long-term functional connectivity for wildlife.
We intend to test, on a global scale, two questions:
- Do conservation corridors work?
- What are the characteristics of corridors that do work?
To do this, we need your help!
We have developed this website for two reasons. First, we want to provide information about our project. Second and more important, we want you to help us identify corridors with characteristics (length, width, adjacent land use) similar to conservation corridors. We will accept study sites in any part of the world. So even if you don't know of a study site, please tell your friends and colleagues who might about us.

The Hobbit Accused Of Racism, Will Peter Jackson Be Forced To Hire Multi-Cultural Hobbits?
By Josh Tyler 2010-11-28 23:32:23 comments
The Hobbit, which has already walked through the fires of Mount Doom just to finally reach early pre-production and casting stages, has now run into another snag. This time it's a problem of political correctness run amok. Theyre being accused of racism because they dont want to cast people who dont look at all like hobbits to play hobbits. No, really.
A British woman of Pakistani descent who claims to be a fan of LOTR, but whose attitudes make it seem as though she has neither seen any of the Lord of the Rings movies nor read The Hobbit, is running to the press accusing Peter Jacksons production of being racist because they didnt want to hire her to populate the Shire. As reported by various publications she says, The casting manager basically said they weren't having anybody who wasn't pale-skinned. Thats right. Because Hobbits are kind of pale skinned. It would be like hiring Dita Von Teese to play Chaka Khan.
This woman states her complaint this way: It was the opportunity of a lifetime. I would love to be an extra. But it just seemed like a shame because obviously hobbits are not brown or black or any other colour. They all look kind of homogenised beige and all derived from the Caucasian gene pool. Yes. They are absolutely derived from the Caucasian gene pool. Youre right. Not just any caucasians but the palest, pastiest, whitest caucasians ever to walk this planet. Have you seen the English?
Theres nothing to complain about, because you see, heres the thing about Tolkiens books: He wrote them to be a sort of fantastical, mythological history for England, a region which was in the past populated almost entirely by those super-pale Caucasians. For much the same reason that only Chinese people are cast to play all the roles in movies about the mythological history of China, it wouldnt really make much sense for hobbits to have a beautiful tan. So whats all the ruckus about?
The problem here is the same one thats plagued the production of The Hobbit all along. In a word: Greed. No one cared what Peter Jackson was doing when he made Lord of the Rings because no one knew if it would be a success. In fact the whole thing was a big gamble, so people got out of his way and let him roll the dice. Now the world smells money and everyone, from the biggest studio lawyer to the smallest New Zealand extra wants a piece of the pie. I suspect this woman, and most of the incredibly stupid people championing her cause, are no different.
Unfortunately, even though this is incredibly stupid, Peter Jackson has already been forced to pretend it isnt by apologizing. His spokeperson says, It is not something the producers or the director of The Hobbit were aware of; they would never issue instructions of this kind to the casting crew. All people meeting the age and height requirements are welcome to audition for The Hobbit. Countdown until Jacksons forced to cast a bunch of multi-racial hobbits to keep Jesse Jackson off his ass starts right now.

Boss Gary Setchell hopes to re-live his own FA Trophy glory against Telford with King's Lynn Town
10:19 27 November 2012
Archant © 2012
Telford provided one of Gary Setchell's greatest days as a player – now he hopes they do the same as a manager.
The King's Lynn Town boss has fond memories of the Shropshire non-league giants after scoring the winner against them for Kettering Town in the 2000 FA Trophy semi-final.
And after landing the Blue Square Premier Bucks at home in yesterday's second round draw of this season's competition, Setchell is hoping his own Trophy heroes can create another unforgettable experience on December 15.
The Lynn boss said: "It's a brilliant draw. It shows how far we've come in the last three years to be playing a Conference club at The Walks. The players deserve it, the supporters deserve it, the chairman (Keith 'Buster' Chapman) deserves it – everyone does because it's been a massive journey.
"There could easily be more than 2,000 people at The Walks and if the fans give it everything you just never know what could happen.
"I have great memories of Telford. I scored the winner for Kettering to get us to Wembley and it was one of the best days in my career as a player – and my life. I'm hoping it's an omen. I'd like to repeat it and then enjoy what would be one of my best days as a manager."
Telford, like Lynn, have been reformed after encountering financial difficulties and will arrive in Norfolk, managed by former Tottenham and Sheffield Wednesday winger Andy Sinton, as fan-owned AFC Telford United.
They currently sit 13th in Blue Square Premier – three tiers above Setchell's Step Four side – and last played King's Lynn during the 2008/09 season, before the original Walks' outfit were wound up in the High Court.
Setchell, who will watch Telford play Barrow next Tuesday, said: "They're a non-league giant and have got back to where they were since being reformed in 2004.
"We wanted one of the big boys at home and we got what we asked for so I'm delighted. We're about 70 spots below them in the pyramid so it's David v Goliath. It's like Cheltenham landing Tottenham in the FA Cup.
"It doesn't matter that Telford are mid-table – we're massive underdogs. We'll be going into it with a game plan to make it difficult for them and hopefully again, like Saturday, when one of our big players gets a chance he can stick it away.
"It'll be a great day with a carnival atmosphere but come 3pm we'll be ready for business."
The Linnets will be back to work this evening when they make the short trip to Thetford Town for a Norfolk Senior Cup fourth round clash.
Captain Richard Bunting, Phil Gulliver (both suspended), Sam Mulready, Danny Beaumont (both injured) and Pat Bexfield (released on Sunday) will not feature.
The Lynn boss said: "I'll be picking a side to win the game. It's a competition we want to stay in and it's also a handy chance for me to get minutes into one or two players."

I have recently migrated to Zimbra from an IMail system. One of the features that I am sorely missing is the ability to define Global/Server Wide Filters.
For example...
1) Forward a copy of any email sent by email@example.com to this firstname.lastname@example.com (regardless of the recipient of the email)
2) If the to address is in the format firstname.lastname@example.com and subject contains Out of Office then delete it.
All the Zimbra mail filters seem to be account specific and the first rule example is not possible without defining a rule under every account. Furthermore setting the rule on every account won't work if the recipient of the original email is on the distribution list specified creating an infinite mail hop loop. (e.g. email@example.com -> firstname.lastname@example.com -> email@example.com -> firstname.lastname@example.com -> etc etc...)
I realize that the second rule could likely be accomplished by creating a custom SpamAssassin rule - although that seems hackish especially when factoring in whitelisting.
This seems like this may be something that is needed at the postfix level - kind of at the same level as the alias/distribution list mapping side. Either that or maybe there is something that can be done with the amavisd-new.
Does anyone know of filtering tools that work with Zimbra, Postfix, or amavisd-new that are specifically designed to do rules processing and manipuation on inbound email traffic before it gets to the user's mailboxes?
Thank you

One of the crown jewels of the Wrigley Marine Science Center on Catalina Island is the George and MaryLou Boone Center for Science and Environmental Leadership.
Built with a lead gift from George and MaryLou Boone in 2004, and complemented by the generous backing of additional USC benefactors, the facility carries their name in acknowledgement of their support.
The Boone Center is central to USC Wrigley Institute's vision of a solutions-oriented future, a "Camp David for the environment." Scientists and policy makers use the Boone Center as an island haven where they can convene and collaborate on environmental issues. The intimate facility also hosts training programs, leadership and planning retreats, small science meetings and high-profile conferences on environmental topics. The upscale complex is situated on a hillside overlooking Big Fisherman's Cove, giving scholars and environmental decision-makers a serene island setting that encourages contemplation, creativity and camaraderie. The center includes 6 houses with 15 bedrooms, a central meeting hall, and a videoconferencing center in the main laboratory building.
The Boone Center represents the culmination of years of dedicated support for the Wrigley Institute by George Boone, who played a critical role in the growth of the island campus. First elected to the USC Board of Trustees in 1995, George Boone was a member of the USC College Board of Councilors and the Advisory Board of the Wrigley Institute. Prior to the Boone Center, George and MaryLou Boone supported the 2001 construction of a cottage at the island, the Boone House, to house faculty, students and other visitors to the laboratory.
Moving forward, the Wrigley Institute is excited to nurture the growing success of the Boone Center. We also plan to capitalize upon that momentum by establishing a complementary Center for Environmental Understanding with enhanced education resources and collaboration spaces. This center is a major priority of our current Campaign. Together, the centers will continue to transform the Wrigley Marine Science Center into a vibrant 'collaboratory' that draws scholars and visitors from all over the world to exchange ideas, educate students, and engage the public.
For more information about the proposed Center for Environmental Understanding, we invite you to read our Strategic Plan (PDF).

Kelly Findley is in just his fifth season with the Bulldogs, and he's already guided Butler to two of the "Top 5" men's soccer seasons in school history. And he currently boasts the best winning percentage of any Butler men's soccer coach since the program began in 1989!
Findley delivered his third consecutive winning season and his first Horizon League championship in 2009. His squad became just the fourth team in Butler men's soccer history to record 14 wins and tied the third-highest win total in school history with a 14-3-2 final record. The Horizon League regular season champion Bulldogs tied Green Bay, 0-0, in the championship match of the league tournament and then earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Men's Soccer Championship. Butler won 11 of its first 13 matches, including victories over #25 South Carolina and #14 Indiana, and compiled an eight-match unbeaten streak from Sept. 25 to Oct. 27. The Bulldogs cracked the "Top 25" in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America national poll and climbed as high as No. 17 during the banner season.
In 2008, Findley guided the Butler to what was then a tie for the fourth-highest win total in school history. The 13-3-4 Bulldogs topped the Horizon League in wins and posted Butler's highest winning percentage since 1998. Butler won the season-opening Louisville Tournament, became the first Horizon League team since 2003 to post an unbeaten (5-0-3) league record, placed runner-up in the Horizon League regular season race and earned a "Top 25" ranking in the national soccer polls. Among Butler's 13 wins was a 1-0 victory over #4-ranked and eventual league champ UIC.
It took less than 24 months for Findley to deliver a winning season at Butler. He guided the Bulldogs to a 9-7-4 record in 2007, the team's first winning campaign in three years. The Bulldogs tied for fourth in the Horizon League with a 4-2-2 mark, Butler's best league record since 2004. Along the way, the Bulldogs picked up a championship at the Courtyard By Marriott Flyer Classic and a runner-up finish at the Northern Illinois adidas/Baymont Inn Invitational. Butler ended the season with wins in five of its final six matches.
In his initial season at Butler, Findley guided the Bulldogs to a 7-11-2 campaign and a sixth place finish in the Horizon League. The Bulldogs were involved in six overtime matches and seven of the team's 11 setbacks came by a single goal. Butler won two of its final three regular-season matches, with the lone setback over that stretch coming to No. 20-ranked Indiana. Butler's biggest win of the season came nine days earlier when the Bulldogs upset No. 17 UIC, 1-0.
Findley, who was named the Bulldogs' fifth men's soccer coach in December of 2005, came to Butler from Charlotte, where he served for three seasons as an assistant coach and for two seasons as associate head coach. During his tenure at Charlotte, the 49ers compiled a 42-40-14 record, including an 11-7-1 mark in 2004. In his third season at Charlotte, the 49ers reached the finals of the C-USA Tournament for only the second time in school history only to lose the title on penalty kicks.
Findley served as head coach at Mars Hill College for two seasons, 1999-2000. He guided the Lions to a 17-22 mark over the two seasons, including a 10-8 overall record and a runner-up finish in the South Atlantic Conference in 2000. He also spent one season as an assistant coach at Miami (Ohio) University, two seasons as an assistant coach with the Charlotte Eagles professional soccer team and one season as an assistant coach at Judson College. During his tenure with the Charlotte Eagles, the professional club won two South Atlantic Division Championships, made two playoff appearances and posted a national runner-up finish!
The Butler coach was a four-time Most Valuable Player as an undergraduate on the men's soccer team at Judson in Elgin, Ill. He was a three-time NAIA All-American, a three-time NCCAA All-American, and a two-time NSCAA All-American as a midfielder. He was named the Northern Illinois Intercollegiate Conference Player of the Year for three consecutive seasons, and he was named Judson's Athlete of the Year in 1990. Findley helped Judson to its first NCCAA National Tournament championship in 1991, and he finished his collegiate career in fifth place on Judson's all-time assist chart with 48 career assists. He was named to Judson's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005.
Following his collegiate career, Findley played professional soccer with the Charlotte Eagles for six seasons. He helped the Eagles to three South Atlantic Division Championships, five divisional playoff appearances and two trips to the national finals.
Findley, a former North Carolina ODP State Team coach, holds a
USSF "A" license and a NSCAA Premier Diploma. He
and his wife, Joanne, have five children, Gabriel, Elysia, Corinne,
Stephen and Keane.

ELMIRA, N.Y. — It isn't supposed to happen. It's simply not supposed to happen.
A first-year program, all but two of the players freshmen, cannot win a national championship, no matter what division, gender or sport. It just can't happen.
It did.
After an apparently unprecedented victory, the Elmira Soaring Eagles are the 2001-2002 NCAA Division III Women's Ice Hockey national champions in their first year of existence. Elmira defeated the Manhattanville Valiants, 2-1, in a classic battle to claim the title.
"I thought it was a great college hockey game for the national championship," said Manhattanville coach Rick Seely.
"I knew it was going to be a tough battle today," said Elmira coach Jamie Wood. "I knew it."
It was the second time Elmira beat Manhattanville this year, the only two losses Manhattanville had. The first time, the game ended in a 3-0 score.
"I knew this game was going to be different," Wood said, "because so much was on the line tonight."
When so much is on the line, who else to turn to but Laura Hurd? The nation's leading scorer tallied the winning goal 46 seconds into the third period.
"I had the puck, and I was going over the blue line," Hurd explained. "There were two defensemen, so I knew I couldn't go past them, so I shot it."
Said Manhattanville goalie Renee Kirnan, "I knew it was Hurd, so I moved out a bit. She moved and took the shot. I didn't control the rebound, and I was out of position."
Finished Hurd, "I continued rushing into pick up the rebound," out to Kirnan's right side. "I got it on my backhand, and put it in."
"It was a great shot," Kirnan conceded.
Nicole Elliott started in net for Manhattanville, so the first goaltending battle was between Elliott and Edith Racine.
The deadlock didn't last long as Elmira got on the board at 6:12 into the game. After a scrum in front and a whole bunch of players whacking at it, Lindsay Palmer was the last one to get a stick on it before it squirted over the line for a goal.
At that point, Manhattanville made a surprising move, pulling Elliott for Kirnan.
Explains Seely, "That was our plan going in. If there was an early goal, whether it was a good goal or not, we were going to change."
Wood wasn't critical. "I thought it was a good move. Their team responded to it."
Now the goaltending battle was between Kirnan and Racine. And just as quickly, Manhattanville got one past Racine, 53 seconds after falling behind.
It was another goal that barely got across the line when Kristin Sahlem stuffed it in.
After that it was a battle royale between the goalies, who kept the opposition off the scoreboard till the third period.
For Racine, it was the rest of the game. And everybody had praise for her.
"Racine is one of the most clutch goalies I've ever seen," Wood said.
Captain Michelle Rennie, one of the two non-freshmen on the team, a sophomore transfer from Mercyhurst, concurred, "She is the best goalie I've ever played with. Her work ethic is stellar. She shows up early for practice to take shots from the guys."
"We're really proud of Edith," Hurd said. "She's done it so much for us."
Considering that Elmira is thought of as an offensive juggernaut, it is easy to overlook the areas that win championships — defense and goaltending. And with the biggest game of the year on the line, those areas shone for the Soaring Eagles.
As the game wore on, the end to end rushes were slowing down and the chances were harder to come by as both teams tightened up their defense, and of course the aforementioned goalie battle.
"I didn't think we were going to win the game with one goal," Seely said.
After Elmira scored the go-ahead tally, Manhattanville needed to pour it on. But, they were beginning to run out of gas.
"I thought we played hard," said Seely. "Except for those last ten minutes."
Despite that, they did have some good opportunities. However, Racine would have nothing of it.
With just under a minute left, Manhattanville pulled their goalie, and the Valiants forced two faceoffs.
How did Elmira handle the pressure? "We were trying to stay calm," Rennie said. "Trying to stay focused."
That calm helped Elmira get two good chances to score on the empty net, but Manhattanville defensemen made the blocks. It didn't matter as the clock counted down and the home crowd exploded in celebration.
"All year the fan support has been great," marveled Rennie. "So many of the other teams supported us and followed us. We are going to owe them big time."
It was that fan support that helped lead Hurd to come to Elmira. "I came here to visit and attended a men's game and loved the atmosphere."
Did Wood expect to be in these finals? "I would have picked them [Manhattanville]. I wouldn't have picked us."
Who would? After all, they were just a first year program.

M.B.A. Applications Muted
Full-time M.B.A. applications have slumped after several years of increases, down 2% for the class entering this fall, according to an annual report released by the Graduate Management Admission Council.
Part-time program applications have fallen off even more, falling 7%--although many top tier business schools say applications were flat or up slightly. And online M.B.A. programs at brick-and-mortar schools saw applications fall 4%.
Asia-Pacific schools saw the biggest decline in full-time program applications, at 16%, while schools in Europe and Canada reported a 4% increase in full-time applications. Meanwhile, 59% of E.M.B.A. programs reported a pick-up in applications--and overall applications were up 3% for the programs--the first sign of positive growth after three years of declines and a boon for schools since these executive degree programs tend to be big money-makers for business schools.
The results, particularly in the full-time M.B.A. program market, illustrate the cyclical nature of graduate-level management education, says Dave Wilson, president and chief executive officer of GMAC. "But," says Mr. Wilson, "I didn't expect the E.M.B.A. market to bounce back so quickly, particularly since so many of the programs are self-funded by the students."
Many full-time programs have seen a drop in applications international students, partly due to increased competition from schools abroad and because of increased difficulty securing visas and student loans. Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Business, applications were flat overall, says John Roeder, director of admissions. But international applications fell--more than 50% among applications from Asian countries. Mr. Roeder suspects prospective students who would have applied to Vanderbilt instead chose to stay closer to home and apply to reputable schools in their regions.
Not all schools see the decrease in applicants as a bad thing. Southern Methodist University's Cox School of Business, for example, saw a decline of 8% in its full-time applications, but the school admitted 35% of apllicants, up from 30% the year before. Marci Armstrong, associate dean of graduate programs, says the quality of applications led to the growth in the admissions rate. The move increased the student body to 154 students, the school's biggest class ever.
At some schools, part-time program applications have fallen in part because of a wider array of business degree offerings. At Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business, part-time M.B.A. applications dropped 9.8% this year, says Frances Murphy, director of graduate admissions. But the school's specialized degrees, such as its Masters in Accounting, have seen an uptick in applications. The accounting program, for one, experienced an 11% increase in applicants.
Vanderbilt officials have seen a similar increase in interest in specialty programs, particularly for its Health Care M.B.A. The GMAC report shows the interest in specialty programs is widespread. Masters of Finance programs saw a 24% increase in applications while Masters of Management programs had application growth of 20%.
Specialized programs are typically more technical in scope and usually last just 12 months, as opposed to two years for a full-time M.B.A. Such programs offer deep dives into areas such as international banking or financial mathematics; in some cases, classes are even offered at the doctoral level.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement unveiled a new deportation policy Friday that will bypass unauthorized immigrants who do not have serious criminal convictions even if they have been caught for minor traffic violations or petty crimes.
At the same time the agency released year-end data that shows a record number of deportations in 2012 at nearly 410,000.
The new guideline outlines an approach that focuses only on unauthorized immigrants who have been convicted of serious crimes. Previously detainers were issued for unauthorized immigrants through enforcement programs that included workplace audits, traffic stops and other avenues created to capture those with criminal records.
"Smart and effective immigration enforcement relies on setting priorities for removal and executing on those priorities," said John Morton, director of ICE, in a statement. "In order to further enhance our ability to focus enforcement efforts on serious offenders, we are changing who ICE will issue detainers against."
The policy directs agents and officers to issue detainers only to those who meet certain requirements, including having a prior felony conviction, having three or more prior misdemeanor convictions, priors or current charges that include violence, sexual abuse, drunk driving, unlawful possession of a firearm and if the individual has been deported previously.
The guideline "restricts the use of detainers against individuals arrested for minor misdemeanor offenses such as traffic offenses and other petty crimes."
Nationwide, ICE deported 409,849 individuals in 2012, up from 396,906 the previous year. In the San Diego region, which includes Imperial County, the federal agency removed a record 46,426 individuals, up 29 percent from 33,006 in 2011. The figures do not include Customs and Border Protection/Border Patrol data.
The policy change, which applies only to ICE operations, is the latest to be implemented in recent years in an effort to focus only on those with criminal records. It was welcomed by immigrant advocates who say the efforts to capture criminals has ensnared unauthorized immigrants who have not committed violent crimes. It was also criticized by those who see it as another backdoor amnesty for those who have broken the law.
Previous directives have included Prosecutorial Discretion, which allows certain unauthorized immigrants to stay in the country if they can prove they pay taxes, do not commit crimes and meet other requirements. The other recent program for unauthorized immigrants is the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which gives some young unauthorized immigrants a 2-year reprieve from deportation if they meet certain requirements such as graduation from high school and arrival in the U.S. while they were minors.
Peter Nunez, former U.S. Attorney in San Diego, disagrees with the policy and said it violates existing laws. He said that while it includes a wide range of criminal conduct, it is a political move by the White House to appease immigrant activists.

GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA – California swimming will be extremely well represented at this week's Pan Pacific Championships as a total of 13 Golden Bears are on the USA National Team that will be competing against squads from Australia, Canada, Japan and South Africa, Aug. 21-24 in Gold Coast, Australia. Included in the Cal group are 11 athletes (six on the U.S. men's squad, five on the U.S. women's squad), plus head USA women's coach Teri McKeever and assistant USA men's coach Yuri Suguiyama.
Athletes with Cal connections on McKeever's Team USA contingent will be juniors Rachel Bootsma and Elizabeth Pelton, sophomore Missy Franklin, alumna Caitlin Leverenz, and incoming freshman Cierra Runge.
Overall, Cal women captured four events during the U.S. championships in Irvine, Calif. Franklin was named the women's high-point award winner as she captured three events – the 100 and 200-meter backstroke and the 100-meter freestyle – and was runner-up in the 200 free.
In addition to Franklin's three titles, Bootsma won the 50 back, Runge was runner-up in both the 400 and 800 free, and Pelton was third in the 100 back. Leverenz had a third-place finish in the 200-meter IM as well.
On the men's side, three former Cal standouts were national champs. Tom Shields won both the 100 and 200 fly, while Nathan Adrian captured the 100 free and 33-year-old Anthony Ervin won the 50 free.
Joining Shields, Adrian and Ervin will be Bear sophomore Ryan Murphy, and Cal juniors Josh Prenot and Jacob Pebley. Murphy won two silver medals at the national championships, placing second in both the 100 and 200-meter backstroke. Prenot placed third in the 400 IM and the 200 breast at the national championships, and Pebley had a fourth-place finish in the 200 back and was fifth in the 100 back.

Thank you CLR! I have always read to scoop the insides out like you do. I can't wait to start growing it. Do you grow your own? I use to forage for it as a kid and play doctor-medicine-man with it, LOL, don't ask. I can't wait to do it again... at, ek. 26. WooHoo. It is so wonderful for digestsion which is why I started using it. I think anyone with digestive issues, especially GERD, should try it and see how it works for them. Thank you again, hugs

I like ice cold drinks. Some don't because it "kills digestive fire," but I really love an ice cold experience.

Just re-read the comments and thought I'd add;
I use about a 1-2 inch piece and find that enough, chop it off, cut off the 'green' so you are left with oozy stinky gel and whop it in the blender, wrap rest up in clingfilm, store in fridge.
I have fresh leaves from the plant and use it exactly as you describe above, easy peasy and definitely 'lubricating' :o)
If new to aloe (esp fresh) exercise caution. Its fine & great for you but if sensitive might find it very lubricating! If so, just build up slow. I have a very slow digestive system and it def works on me.
If you use your own the biggest/oldest leaves have the most potency and are the most beneficial, best to let young leaves mature but can still use if you need to.
Sueko - good question. I am new to aloe, just recently started using it. I have never tried blending it. I have always read of people scooping out the insides and using them that way. The problem is I can't find any organic aloe leaves right now. The store that carried them stopped carrying them. I'm going to start growing it myself though and use it that way. For now I am using the raw juice formula that I bought : ) If anyone comes across this and uses aloe leaf, please give us some feedback!
Couldn't you just throw an aloe leaf in the blender rather than juice it? Seems a lot simpler, especially if you have a Vitamix, Blendtec etc.
Your welcome, raw-k on! Ps. I prefer mine chilled. I store my coconuts in the fridge, I love cold coconut water. Room temp aloe just doesn't do it for me so I stick that in the fridge too. Let me know how you like it when you're able to try it!
thank you!
Hi. I bought mine at a local organic co-op, Rainbow Grocery, in San Francisco. They only carried 1 raw brand. It's pretty hard to find. I did search the web and found where you can buy it online. Not sure if you order stuff online but you can go to: http://www.herbalremedies.com/aloe-vera-juice.html
I hope that link posts in comments! This is the brand I bought : ) I am going to have to start growing it myself so I can use it fresh from the leaf... Rainbow stopped carrying them!!!
where do you find raw aloe vera juice? i've hit all the local health food stores and i don't think i've seen any. but this sounds really good, especially as a post-workout drink.

Nice rug, muted greenish/blue which is ok. Using in my bathroom as the indoor/outdoor durability and resistance to water damage is good there. Does snag easily with cats, which I have, but I just clip the threads and it looks fine.RECOMMENDED: Yes!
Beautiful rug, I love it! I arrived very quickly too.RECOMMENDED: Yes!
The rug is pretty and the colors are just as shown BUT the threads pull up VERY EASILY. Now we know why there was a slip of paper that came with the rug telling you not to pull the threads but tipo cut them off. They claim that it is not a defect in the rug but we have to cut many threads off every day. It instructs not to use a vacuum with a beater bar so we did not. We have had it less than a month and we are VERY dissapointed about how it is holding up. I would absolutely not recommend this rug.RECOMMENDED: No.

St. Mary's Hospital marked a sad milestone Wednesday. The pet therapy program lost its first dog to cancer.
These are the animals that lift the spirits of hospital patients, whether they have a sprained ankle or a terminal illness. The day wasn't just about remembering a dog, but also celebrating the people and pets who have brought hope and comfort to so many.
When Judy Zimmerman's husband Jim was fighting a terminal brain tumor, the couple found comfort in a furry friend.
It really eased him. You could tell he was relaxed, Judy said. He was just in love with that dog.
A golden retriever, named Erik, a cancer patient himself, visited them in the hospital, on good days and bad.
It really warms the patient's heart who is sitting in bed, thinking of their dog, and being able to touch that fur and give a hug, Judy said.
Even during Jim's final days, Erik lay beside him, hand and paw clutched, at peace.
It really makes them forget where they are -- that they are in a hospital, and just really helps them, said Judy.
I trusted him implicitly, said Dan Darmstadter, Erik's owner. I could lay him in bed with patients, and not be worried about him rolling around or doing anything to endanger the patient.
Jim and Erik are both gone now, but their legacy lives on through the pet therapy program. Twenty dogs and their owners now roam St. Mary's Hospital, bringing smiles to patients who might otherwise sit in bed alone.
The dogs visit anywhere from 10 to 20 patients a day, and that doesn't include the family members, hospital staff, and visitors who love the canine company.
For patients, it's an invaluable service, allowing them to focus, if only for a few minutes, on something other than being sick.
You run into people that just need the support, Darmstadter said. When they see you and get on the ground and start crying and holding onto the dog. You've touched someone's life and helped them through a difficult time.
This is a volunteer program. If you're interested in helping out call the pet therapy program at (608) 258-6640 or log onto:

My father held equity shares in certain listed companies, which have now been devolved to me on his death. He held these shares for about two years. What will be the tax implications if I sell these shares?
Pratip Kar
As per Section 2 (42A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, if an asset is received by way of inheritance, the period of holding of the previous owner will also be taken into account in determining whether the asset is a long-term or a short-term capital asset. As such, your holding period will be calculated from the period for which it has been held by your father. As such, the gains arising on sale of shares will be treated as long-term capital gains and be eligible for tax exemption under Section 10(38) provided they are sold through a recognised stock exchange and the securities transaction tax is paid on such sale.
I have a minor daughter in whose name there is a fixed deposit for R1 lakh, which was made from a gift received from her grandfather. An annual interest of R9,000 is being earned on the FD. Will this income be clubbed in my hands?
Vinay Kumar
As per the provisions of Section 64 (1A), the income accruing to a minor child will be clubbed with the income of the either of the parent whose total income is greater than the other (excluding the income to be clubbed). As such, the income of R9,000 will get clubbed in your hands (assuming you have greater income than your spouse). You will be entitled to exemption under Section 10(32) for income up to R1,500 per minor child.
Last month, I sold jewellery that I had purchased four years ago for profit. Kindly advice me about the capital gain tax.
Komal Sharma
As the jewellery has been held for more than 36 months, it is a long-term capital assets and is eligible for indexation benefit. The cost inflation index for financial year 2012-13 has been notified as 852. The gain arising on transfer of a long-term capital asset is termed as long-term capital gain, liable to tax at the rate of 20.60%.
Please note that if your basic exemption is not exhausted by any other income, then the long-term capital gain will be reduced by the unexhausted basic exemption and only the balance is taxed at the rate of 20.60%. You can avail the exemption benefit available under

LOS ANGELES — Music legend Linda Ronstadt says she has Parkinson's disease, which has robbed her of her ability to sing.
Ronstadt, 67, tells AARP Magazine, in an article posted online Friday, that she was diagnosed eight months ago and "can't sing a note."
The 11-time Grammy winner said she began to show symptoms as long as eight years ago, but attributed her inability to sing then to a tick disease. When her hands began to tremble, Ronstadt said she thought the shaking was the result of a shoulder operation.
She said she was "completely shocked" when she finally saw a neurologist and was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disease that is marked especially by tremor of resting muscles, rigidity, slowness of movement, impaired balance, and a shuffling gait. "I wouldn't have suspected that in a million, billion years.

"No one can sing with Parkinson's disease," Ronstadt told AARP music writer Alanna Nash. "No matter how hard you try."
Ronstadt sold tens of millions of records starting in the 1970s with pop hits such as "You're No Good" and "When Will I Be Loved." She also segued into country, pop standards and mariachi music, among other genres.
In addition, the singer was known for her romances with California Gov. Jerry Brown and filmmaker George Lucas.
Ronstadt now uses poles to walk on uneven ground and a wheelchair when traveling, the AARP story said.
Her autobiography, "Simple Dreams," will be released next month, but makes no mention of Parkinson's or the loss of her voice, according to the AARP article.
The singer's New York-based managers did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
