Tension in the House
Rep. Priscilla Taylor, D-West Palm Beach, tried to remove an amendment to the Martin Lee Anderson claims bill that would also compensate Alan Crotzer, the wrongfully convicted St. Petersburg man.
Keeping the two together could have caused trouble in the Senate, which has already passed the $4.8-million Anderson claim and has signaled opposition to the Crotzer award. But some Democrats and others wanted to test the Senate's resolve.
Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff, R-Fort Lauderdale, fought to keep the two linked. The surprise move sent the Democratic Caucus into a frenzy, with members huddling in the back of the chamber. After a few minutes, with Bogdanoff's insistence, they decided to let it pass as amended.
"We've got one shot," Miami Democrat Rep. T. Holloway said, urging others to lay down. "My neck is out on this one."
Senate President Ken Pruitt has already said that the Crotzer award would not be considered, re-stating that position this morning. Crotzer, who spent more than 24 years in prison before being freed by DNA evidence, was due to receive $1.25-million. The parents of 14-year-old Anderson, who died after a rough encounter with guards at the Bay County boot camp, would get $4.8-million. They have already gotten $2.4-million from Bay County.

In The Kingdom Of Mount Kilimanjaro
Amboseli National Park is arguably Africa's best safari park – with an abundance of wildlife and its stunning Mount Kilimanjaro backdrop. Our guide will help make sure you enjoy every moment of your African safari experience.
Amboseli is one of Kenya's oldest and most-visited parks. Much of its magic is derived from the fact that it is towered over by the snow-capped bulk of Mount Kilimanjaro which, at 5,896 metres above sea level is Africa's highest mountain. Comparatively compact, the park is dotted with a series of bright green swamps, in which great herds of elephants can often be seen half-submerged amongst the papyrus grasses. As renowned for its photo-opportunities as it for its large elephant population, Amboseli remains one of THE great safari destinations.
Amboseli is world-famous for its populations of large mammals, most especially elephants of which there are around 700. The swamps are a centre of activity for elephants, hippos, buffaloes and abundant water birds. The surrounding flat grasslands are home to grazing antelopes. Spotted hyenas are plentiful, as are jackals, warthogs, olive baboons and vervet monkeys.

The Division of Strategic Communications uses The Associated Press Stylebook as a guide for all copy the office produces, which includes journalistic and marketing pieces. For cases unique to The University of Alabama and other exceptions to AP style, as well as matters not addressed by AP, the UA Editorial Style Manual that follows provides guidance.
Visit the Graphics Standards for the University's graphic standards.
academic degrees
The preferred form is to avoid abbreviations. When lack of space makes abbreviating academic degrees necessary, do not use periods (e.g., BA, MS, MBA).
Use apostrophes when writing bachelor's and master's degrees but do not use 's with of constructions.
People who hold the JD, or juris doctor, are not called "Dr." Those who hold the terminal degree in that field — the doctor of juridical science or JSD — are.
When listing UA faculty members, cite only the highest degree attained, plus any relevant professional designation.
academic divisions, UA
See divisions.
academic honors
Cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude and with distinction receive no special treatment in running copy: She graduated summa cum laude.
Action Card
addresses, campus
For all campus publications, give addresses for University of Alabama departments and offices as follows:
The University of Alabama
Office or department name
Office or department location
Box 870___ (campus box number, which is not a P.O. box number)
Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0___ (campus box number)
205-348-____ or toll-free 800–___-____
Fax 205-348-____
Email address
Website address
The room number, building name, phone number, fax number and email address may be omitted as appropriate.
Include Hall or Building, as appropriate, for office or department locations (e.g., Rose Administration Building) and place room numbers first, omitting the word "room" (e.g., 801 Rose Administration Building).
Do not use the 1- before telephone or fax numbers.
Use adviser unless advisor is part of a group's official name or a person's official title.
Acceptable as a second reference or short form of The University of Alabama. Be careful, however, because in many contexts, the word could be confused with the state of Alabama.
See University of Alabama, The.
American Express
Spell out the name of the credit card in running text. When space is limited, such as in applications, and an abbreviation is needed, use AMEX.
ampersand (&)
Spell out and in most instances. Reserve the ampersand for use as a design element; in charts and other places where space is at a premium; in a few UA-specific abbreviations, such as A&S or C&BA; and when part of a company's formal name.
Ampersands should not be used on University of Alabama business cards and stationery. See the Graphic Standards.
Use roman type for the possessive ending when a proper name is italicized.
Research Magazine's stories highlight research at The University of Alabama.
The genitive case (indicating a possessor or source) requires the 's or s' or an of construction.
Attributive nouns (those acting as adjectives modifying a following noun) don't require the 's or s'.
assure, ensure, insure
Although these words are often used interchangeably, add an extra measure of clarity by making the following distinctions:
Use assure to suggest the removal of doubt or worries from a person's mind (as in reassurance).
She assured me Ms. Jones was an experienced editor.
Use ensure to mean guarantee.
To ensure each student the best chance for success, we offer the services outlined below.
Use insure when referring to insurance.
The famous pianist insured each of his hands for $1 million.
as well as
Avoid overusing as well as in place of and; the phrase as well as has the sense of "too" or "also," rather than simply "and."
Capitalize award in running text when it is part of the name of an award.
The abbreviation Bama for The University of Alabama is too informal for some University publications, so use it with caution.
Big Al
The official name of The University of Alabama's mascot.
board of trustees
The full name of the University's governing board is capitalized as follows:
The Board of Trustees of The University of Alabama
Short forms of the name are not capitalized:
buildings, names of
Do not use a space between each letter-period pair in building names, such as B.B. Comer Hall.
Use Hall or Building on first reference and in addresses, particularly in publications intended for an off-campus audience.
See Appendix A: Campus Building Names for a list of official campus building names.
campuswide identification number, CWID
Keep capitalization to a minimum — the more words you capitalize, the more you complicate your text.
Do not capitalize short forms of the names of University programs and facilities: the greenhouse, the arboretum, the law school, the education library, the financial aid office, etc.
Do not capitalize the names of disciplines such as history, art, etc. Do capitalize the names of disciplines that are derived from proper nouns such as French, English and American.
Do not capitalize the common names of semesters, terms, academic sessions or periods, such as fall semester, registration, orientation and schedule pickup. If a semester or term is followed by a specific year, use capitalization (e.g., Fall Semester 2003).
Capstone, the
The Capstone is a nickname for The University of Alabama coined by former UA President G.H. Denny when he referred to the University as the "capstone of the public school system of the state" in 1913. Be aware that prospective students may not understand its meaning, although other audiences, such as alumni, may.
certificates and forms
The following guidelines apply to the titles of academic and professional certificates (as in Class AA Professional Certificate); visas; government forms; specialized forms, such as financial aid forms; and other documents referred to by name.
Terms that are generally descriptive — such as application for admission, declaration of intent, or application for admission to candidacy — should not be capitalized.
Capitalize the first word and all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs in the title of the form:
When a number is part of a form's title, use the numeral and omit any punctuation:
classification, student
Do not capitalize freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, graduate, postgraduate, postdoctoral, non-degree or any similar designation unless it is part of a title, a headline or the official name of an organization.
Use freshman when writing of one first-year student, freshmen when writing of more than one. Use freshman as a modifier.
colleges and schools, UA
See divisions.
Capitalize when part of a proper name: The University of Alabama College of Engineering.
Capitalize the word when it appears by itself in reference to one specific UA college in a single publication. However, lowercase the initial letter in the word when it appears by itself in a single publication about more than one UA college.
When introducing lists, do not use a colon if the list is an object or complement of any part of the sentence. This rule applies even to vertical or bulleted lists. In the example sentence below, the list of courses (MATH 125, EN 102, IE 203, COM 203, and ARH 151) completes the sentence (as a direct object) and thus the colon should not be used after (the verb) were.
Use a colon after constructions such as "as follows" and "the following" only if the list or illustrating matter immediately follows …
… or if the introductory sentence would be grammatically incomplete without "the following."
Correct: I would like to make clear the following: The deadline is 4 p.m. Friday.
For appearances' sake, it is usually best to leave off commas at the ends of centered lines of text in invitations, headings, titles and similar places.
Computer-Based Honors Program, CBHP
CBHP is acceptable in all contexts as a second reference for Computer-Based Honors Program.
Cooperative Education Program, Co-op
Co-op or Co-op Program is an acceptable second reference, but lowercase co-op when used as an adjective:
Her co-op experience was professionally and intellectually rewarding.
Core Curriculum, University of Alabama
Capitalize University of Alabama Core Curriculum, University Core Curriculum and UA Core Curriculum, but lowercase curriculum in other uses:
course level
course load
Two words. Generally refers to the number of course hours recommended or allowable each semester.
course numbers and titles
When a course number and title are given together, give the alpha symbol and number followed directly by the title. There is no intervening punctuation, and do not abbreviate words in the title.
When a course title is given without the course number, you may uppercase the course title as long as it is the complete title.
Do not use alpha symbols when speaking generally of a department or program's courses or of an academic discipline.
When listing courses by number, repeat the alpha symbol with each number.
Use a colon to indicate lecture-and-laboratory combinations. The alpha symbol is not repeated: AY 101:102
Courses offered for both graduate and undergraduate credit — and thus having two numbers — may be listed as follows: EN 480/580. The alpha symbol is not repeated.
Any two distinct courses, no matter how closely linked, should be indicated by the word "and" instead of a colon.
The required courses include EN 101 and EN 102, EN 205 and EN 206, and EN 209 or EN 210.
One word. Generally refers to the courses taken for degree credit.
Creative Campus
A student-led initiative that became fully-operational during the 2006-07 academic year. Use Creative Campus when referring to the program in UA printed material.
credit hours
See numbers.
Crimson Ride
Crimson Tide
Commonly used to describe or name The University of Alabama's football team, Crimson Tide is now often used to refer to other NCAA teams at The University of Alabama. Avoid overuse, particularly in non-sports contexts.
cum laude
See academic honors.
Never combine the symbol $ and the word dollars in the same context.
There are three kinds of dashes used in University publications. Most word-processing and page-layout programs can produce all three — hyphen, en dash and em dash.
Hyphen ( – ). Used to separate the elements of a hyphenated compound (for example, on-screen or English-speaking students) or to break words at the end of lines of copy.
En dash ( – ). Used to indicate duration or continuing or inclusive numbers (for example, 2009–10, children age 1–5). The en dash is also used to separate the elements of a hyphenated compound in which at least one of the elements is composed of two or more words (for example, post–World War II years) or both elements are hyphenated compounds (a quasi–public–quasi–judicial body). When you cannot create an en dash, a hyphen will do.
Em dash ( — ). Used to introduce an explanatory or emphatic element; to indicate a sudden break in thought or speech; to create a break in continuity greater than that suggested by the comma; and to set off multiple nouns when the nouns are the referents of a pronoun that is the subject of a summarizing clause.
EN 101 English Composition I — an introduction to college-level writing — is required of all UA freshmen.
She proofed the brochure copy — copy that could help recruit a generation of UA transfer students — for the sixth time.
He was able to surmount every obstacle but the last — a greased wall 50 feet in height.
Iceland, Malaysia, Peru — these are just some of the countries from which UA students come.
In applications and formats that don't allow em dashes, use two hyphens ( — ). Do not overuse em dashes. Never use more than a single em dash or pair of em dashes in a sentence. Consider commas and parentheses as alternatives.
decision making (n.), decision-making (adj.)
degree programs
See programs, academic.
degrees, academic
See academic degrees.
Denny Chimes
The campanile on the Quadrangle was constructed in 1929 and named after UA President George H. Denny. When writing about the tower that contains the chimes, use singular verbs and do not use an article such as the if possible:
When writing about the chimes themselves, use the plural verb form and the when the structure of the sentence permits:
Every day, the Denny Chimes sound out the time.
Try to avoid sentences that mix the two references, such as the following:
Departments should be lowercased (as per AP Style).
disability accommodations and statements
See equal-opportunity statements.
Do not capitalize the names of academic disciplines or major or minor areas of study except those derived from proper nouns.
When describing a college or school of The University of Alabama, use the official names and second references and abbreviations given below.
doctoral, doctorate
Doctoral is an adjective.
He entered the doctoral program in 1993.
Doctorate is the degree received.
She earned her doctorate in 1985.
domain name
The University of Alabama's domain name is ua.edu.
double major (n.), double-major (adj.)
Avoid using ellipsis points to indicate interruptions or abrupt changes in thought; use em dashes instead.
emerita, emeritus, emeriti
Emerita refers to a woman, emeritus to a man, emeriti to a mixed group or to a group of either sex. Place emerita, emeritus or emerti after the formal title:
ensure, insure, assure
equal-opportunity statements
The University has a responsibility to clearly communicate its commitment to equal opportunity in education and employment and to making its programs and services accessible to those with disabilities. Use the following statements as appropriate:

ethnic background categories
For the optional ethnicity portion of applications to University programs, use the following categories:

Students must choose their majors during the second semester.
3. Use he or she, him or her, his or her, etc.

Refer to the AP Style Guide for additional information.
When giving a GPA, always use a decimal point and carry to at least one decimal place: 3.0, 2.2.
Letters used to denote grades are usually capitalized and set in roman type; words used to denote grades are placed in quotation marks:
The modifier pass/fail is not treated specially:
graduate teaching assistant, GTA, GTAs (plural)
The abbreviation GTA is acceptable as a second reference in many publications. Avoid using graduate teaching assistant as a personal title.
greek or Greek?
Uppercase when referring to social organizations and honor societies. Always uppercase when referring to the culture, nation, people or language of Greece or ancient Greece.
high school (n.), (adj.)
Capitalize only when the year immediately follows.
honor societies, honoraries
Use either honor society or honorary — never honorary society.
See dash/hyphen.
in-state, out-of-state
Acceptable, but consider whether Alabama resident and nonresident would be more precise.
International Honors Program, IHP
IHP is acceptable in all contexts as a second reference for International Honors Program.
Interim program, Interim term
Interim is an acceptable short form for Interim program or Interim term, the academic term between spring and summer semesters.
Internet, internet, Internet2

Use these general guidelines to punctuate vertical and run-in lists.
Vertical lists are set off from the body text so they catch the reader's attention. A vertical list is also the best way to organize lists with items that are lengthy or contain two or more sentences.
See colon to determine when to use a colon to set up lists.
Vertical lists may be bulleted or enumerated.
In a bulleted list, the bullet takes the place of punctuation (such as commas or semicolons) between items in a list. Do not use any punctuation at the ends of bulleted items that are not sentences. There is also no need for a concluding period at the end of a bulleted list, even when that list continues a sentence; that lone period will look lost down there.
The benefits of membership include
Join now to experience all the rewards of Sports Club membership.
When your bulleted items are sentences, capitalize the first letter of each sentence and use appropriate end punctuation. When they consist of single words or phrases, it is best to lowercase the first letter.
To help make your college experience a pleasant and successful one, keep these suggestions in mind:
Keep your bulleted lists consistent. If some items in a list are sentences, make all of them sentences. If some items begin with verbs, begin all items with verbs. In short publications, such as brochures, structure all your lists the same way — either sentences or phrases, but not both. In longer works, some variance is acceptable.
It is usually best to indent your bulleted list from the surrounding copy. How much you indent depends on the density of the surrounding copy and whether your list might get lost, even with the bullets.
In an enumerated vertical list, each item is preceded by a number or letter followed by a period. Use enumerated lists when you want to refer back to specific items (e.g., "as in item 15 above"). Numbers (as opposed to letters) are best used when sequential order is important, because that's what numbers imply to readers.
Following are some guidelines for punctuation of numbered lists:
A run-in list (one not broken out in vertical style) should suffice if your list is short or if the items within the list are short. Run-in lists take up less space than vertical lists, but they are harder to read.
If you plan to refer back to specific items in the list, enumerate the items with letters or numbers. Otherwise, simply separate the items with commas or semicolons.
Enumerate the items in a run-in list with numbers or letters enclosed in parentheses. There is no period or other punctuation enclosed within the parentheses, and there is no space between the number or letter and parentheses. Put one space between the closing parenthesis and the word that follows.
Use commas or semicolons to separate enumerated items exactly as you would if there were no (1), (2), (3), or (a), (b), (c).
magna cum laude
See academic honors.
major, minor
Avoid overusing major in place of student majoring in.
See currency.
nondiscrimination statements
See equal-opportunity statements.
nondissertation (adj.)
She began nondissertation research this semester.
nonsexist language
nonthesis (adj.)
She began nonthesis research this semester.
For credit hours, use figures no matter how small the number:
(See apostrophe.)
Use figures for SAT, ACT and similar test scores. Use Arabic figures in constructions such as SAT-1. Do not add commas to SAT or other scores that reach into the thousands:
Use figures for grade point averages. Always include the decimal point and carry to at least one decimal place: 2.0. If several averages are cited in a table, carry all of them to the same place: 3.01, 2.18, 4.00, 1.80. The abbreviation GPA may follow the numbers if they are not described in the rest of the sentence: Sam earned a 3.98 GPA. Mary's GPA was 3.89. His high school GPA was 3.1.
Use figures in tables and charts. In tables and charts that include a total at the bottom, align the decimal points in each column. In other tables and charts, decimal alignment is preferred, but it is acceptable to align all figures along the right margin, particularly if the numbers used are a mixture of percentages, straight figures or fractions.
off campus, off-campus, on campus, on-campus
Standard hyphenation rules apply to these terms: When used as a modifier, either term must be hyphenated. When campus is used as a noun, drop the hyphen.
Capitalize office only when it is part of an official name:
on-campus, on campus
See off-campus, off campus, on-campus, on campus entry.
Do not capitalize when used in a general sense or on second reference. Capitalize only when part of the name of an event or program. The official name of orientation for undergraduates at the University is Bama Bound.
Presidential Village
When talking about the whole area, refer to it as Presidential Village. When referring to a specific residence hall, refer to them by name as either Presidential I or Presidential II.
programs, academic
In general, do not capitalize the names of academic programs; UA-specific exceptions follow. Capitalize the names of programs in headings, subheadings, titles of works, and tables of contents, as needed.
Avoid using program in place of major or department. Program often implies a separate administration or faculty, as in the Computer-Based Honors Program. When describing a student's activities, it may be best to use department, major or degree program rather than simply program.
the Quad, the Quadrangle
In either its short or long form, this term refers to the central open green space where Denny Chimes is located.
Use this spelling (with accents) to mean a curriculum vitae and to distinguish it from resume (to begin again after an interruption).
room numbers and names
Usually, it is acceptable to drop the word room from addresses, as long as you do so consistently throughout the publication:
Our office is in 122 Rose Administration Building.
Capitalize room and similar words when part of a proper or well-known name:
If a room number includes a letter, put one hyphen between the letter and number. In those rare instances where there are two or more letters in a room number, use a hyphen only between the first letter or group of letters and the adjacent number.
Do not capitalize the common names of semesters, terms, academic sessions or periods (e.g., fall semester, registration, orientation, schedule pickup). If a semester or term is followed by a specific year, use capitalization (e.g., Fall Semester 2003). The special Interim term should be capitalized.
Social Security number, SSN
Avoid SS# and the redundant SSN#.
summa cum laude
See academic honors.
Supe Store
This is an acceptable second reference or informal reference for the University Supply Store, particularly when writing for on-campus audiences.
titles of works
Italicize magazine and journal names, which is an exception to Associated Press guidelines under the entries for book titles, composition titles, newspaper names and magazine names.
Alabama Alumni Magazine
Journal of the Legal Profession
Acceptable short form or second reference for The University of Alabama, noun and adjective forms. Never use U of A.
University Core Curriculum
See Core Curriculum, University of Alabama.
University Honors Program, UHP
UHP is acceptable in all contexts as a second reference for University Honors Program.
University of Alabama, The
In 1974, The Board of Trustees of The University of Alabama passed a resolution designating the proper name of "the institution [within The University of Alabama System] whose location is principally in Tuscaloosa" as "The University of Alabama." The board also authorized the use of "University" upon second and subsequent references, reserving the abbreviation "UA" for "internal use." Since 1974, however, "UA" has become an acceptable second and subsequent reference for The University of Alabama.
Always capitalize our proper name as follows: The University of Alabama.
Capitalize University when it takes the place of our full name.
use, utilize
See Appendix C: Usage.
Veterans Services, Office of
Use Visa, not VISA, when writing about the credit card.
Woods Quad
The quadrangle bordered by Garland Hall, Manly Hall and Woods Hall. Also called the Old Quad.
work-study student
University-based radio station, home of Alabama Public Radio.
The University's student-run radio station.
The University of Alabama bought WVUA-7 during the summer of 2001, making the University one of only a handful of schools to own and operate a commercial television station.
Following is a list of many University (and UA-related) buildings and facilities and, where noted, their commonly accepted short names.
at sign (@)
The @ symbol must be included in all email addresses.
domain name
The University of Alabama's domain name is ua.edu.
Avoid clichés (e.g., cutting-edge, state-of-the-art, world-class, 24/7).
concise writing
Avoid pretentiousness and wordiness. Following are examples of pretentious words and wordy phrases. Suggested substitutions are in parentheses.
poor phrases
Avoid poor phrases such as the following:
use, utilize
Utilize is an overworked, pretentious substitute for use. Utilize means to use something in a way in which it was not originally intended. Example: I didn't have a screwdriver, so I utilized a knife to remove the screw. In other cases, use is preferred because it is shorter, takes less space and is quicker to read.

Hi All!
I'm trying to read ms word documents stored in my dataBase in a BLOB column.
However, concerning the encodings there are issues with characters. My web application can read the ms word documents the to an iframe with POIFSFileSystem without problems.
File docFile = null;
WordExtractor docExtractor = null ;
WordExtractor exprExtractor = null ;
try {
docFile = new File("c:\File.doc");
FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(docFile.getAbsolutePath());
HWPFDocument doc=new HWPFDocument(fis);
docExtractor = new WordExtractor(doc);
However, I have to read it from a file in my system. My goal is to do the same, but reading the document directly from MySQL database.
Is it possible to create a FileInputStream directly from MySQL?
Thanks in advance

The activity opened the national commemoration of Hung Kings and the 2011 Hung temple festival.
Participants to the ceremony expressed their gratefulness to the national father Lac Long Quan and national mother Au Co for laying the foundation for the Vietnamese nation.
Legend has it that Lac Long Quan, whose real name was Sung Lam, the son of Kinh Duong Vuong and Than Long Nu, married the daughter of De Lai, fairy Au Co.
Au Co then gave birth to a pouch filled with one hundred eggs, which soon hatched into one hundred sons, believed to be Vietnam's ancestors. But soon after, Lac Long Quan and Au Co separated. Lac Long Quan went to the coasts with 50 children, Au Co went to the highlands with the others.
Their eldest son was made the King, who named the country Van Lang and set up the capital in Phong Chau (nowadays Viet Tri city, Phu Tho province), starting the 18 reigns of Hung Kings.
The commemoration of the Hung Kings is sacred to the Vietnamese people, who take the occasion to strengthen national solidarity and the resolve to build a strong and prosperous country.
It was made a national event in 2007, and the country is seeking UNESCO's recognition for the worship of the Hung Kings as an intangible heritage of mankind.
This year's Hung King festival is jointly hosted by Phu Tho, Tuyen Quang, Hoa Binh, Nam Dinh, Quang Ngai and Dong Thap provinces.

Do you know the #1 reason
why people don't pursue art?
It seems pretty ridiculous when you think about it.
There are millions of people out there who haven't followed their dreams of being artists simply because someone has lied to them.
Believing this lie has meant the difference between being a successful artist and someone who is locked out of achieving their dream.
At some point in their lives, someone presented them with the foolish notion that art is for a lucky few — those born with the "gift." This lie has been circulating for generations, and has prevented millions of talented potential artists from creating valuable works of art! And on top of that, we have been told that the older you get the less chance you have of ever achieving this dream.
In fact, that's such a popular belief that we've even coined a phrase for it. "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."
But here's the good news!
Recent developments in science and psychology alike have proven this just isn't true. We have discovered that the mind is much more powerful than we ever imagined. You have the natural ability to literally grow your mind—regardless of your age! Your brain is a living, growing, organ that is capable of gaining new skills and talents.
So what does this mean for you?
This means that, despite popular opinion or what you've been told, you can be an artist—you just need to follow the correct steps to add the needed skills into your brain.
How do you do that?
Unlock your drawing skills…
Brain scientists have a big word for it: "neuroplasticity". But, scientific studies have shown it all comes down to an easy, simple type of exercise.
No. It's not the kind of exercise you do at the gym. (This one can be a lot more fun.)
However, just like physical exercise helps your muscles get stronger and grow larger, this simple kind of exercise has been proven to help your brain grow stronger, sharper, and, when done correctly, will give you new talents you thought you could never achieve.
So what kind of "exercise" can help you this much?
The key is to take small steps — and to focus on one step at a time. You must go through the activity for each step until it becomes comfortable, and then move on to the next simple action. It's important that every step in the process builds on the step before it. Your brain must be able to connect the new concept with the part of your brain that has been developed in the previous steps.
This means the process you follow should be designed to give you small steps with exercises that build on each other so that your brain is capable of processing it efficiently. If the information is not in a format that you can take action on, it won't stick, and you won't gain the desired skill.
Learning to play an instrument is a great example of this principle in action. You start out learning to play scales. At the time these scales seem menial and monotonous, but what you don't realize is that your brain is growing through this repetition. In time, these scales become entire songs.
It's the same with a learned skill like drawing. As you move through each step that you are given and take action on it, you connect with all the other things that you know relate (that's called a schema by the brain experts) and it helps your brain develop your drawing skills.
This is awesome news!
Because this all means that you can gain drawing skills that go far beyond what you've ever imagined possible!
That's right. Drawing is a completely learnable skill! No matter what you may have believed in the past, you actually can get to where you've wanted to go for so long.
Fortunately, master artist Darrel Tank has made it his mission to fight this misinformation that has kept untold millions of individuals from a rewarding experience with art.
Over the past several years, Darrel Tank has focused his energies on sharing secrets he has learned through a career in fine art and illustration. It has become a personal goal to give anyone the opportunity to achieve a level of artistic skill that they never thought possible.
The cornerstone of Darrel Tank's dedication to this mission is a drawing series containing step-by-step instructions for drawing a portrait from start to finish. This series is based on the science that shows that if you take one simple idea at a time, that those simple ideas will grow into a full-blown skill.
Darrel Tank has probably heard every story in the book. From "I can't draw a stickman" to "I can't draw a straight line", to "But, I have no talent" and of course lots of other self-defeating phrases that continue the cycle of lost opportunity.
But Darrel just smiles and shows them the first step they need to take. And it's not long before they are looking at their new drawings in disbelief.
I have books and methods for portrait drawing but none of them were getting me anywhere.... I had just about given up before I got started. Not anymore, Darrel is getting me back on track!
— Marietta Walker
The "Portrait Series" teaches you the process from start to end. Therefore, it has everything, including (but not limited to) layout, shading, eyes, nose mouth, hair, and finishes. After learning the fundamentals, I would recommend the "Portrait" and "hair" DVD. All lessons are very good.
— Kelvin Chen
Draw Something Worth Showing
This three part series is the real deal! You'll start with a blank piece of paper and by the end you'll have a complete portrait to be proud of. Darrel shows you several different approaches to laying out your portraits that can be used in all of your drawings. You'll learn to see angles and relationships between shapes, and gain the confidence you need to start drawing freehand.
Develop Your Unique Style
Do you have tools in your garage that you don't even know how to use? A tool can't be very useful if it's not doing what it was born to do, wouldn't you say? That's why Darrel not only hooks you up with his time-tested tools of choice, but he assigns exercises specifically designed to teach you how to use them—all the while furthering your skill set!
Amazingly logical method that simply makes sense and presented in such a straightforward fashion that even the worst artist (but then what's good or bad in a subjective thing as art) can make great strides in developing good drawing habits and skills.

For many, getting started is the hardest part. Knowing where to put that first mark can be a real challenge!
In the first DVD volume, you'll learn several approaches for laying out your drawing. Darrel will provide you with the tools you need to increase the accuracy in your drawings and see the relationships between the angles and shapes that make up great proportions.
He'll show you the most effective approach he has found for "learning to see" so that you can draw more quickly and improve your accuracy when drawing freehand.
This is a very precise technique and you are free (and encouraged) to adapt it to your style and to use the method to double-check your freehand approach, providing yourself with the feedback you need to improve your drawings.
Once the outlines are on the paper, the next step is to start building the contours by shading. Shading is all about creating an illusion with light. You'll walk through how each pencil is used to create the value changes that give the appearance of depth and dimension in your drawings. Don't worry, Darrel will also show you which pencil to use for each layer of value and when to use it.
With each pencil layer your values will get darker. This process continues methodically until the eyes, cheeks, nose, lips, ears and neck all have the appropriate value and texture.
People often ask how Darrel gets such smooth skin textures without using a blending stump. The secret is in how he layers each pencil value. You will learn how to slowly build up value with your pencils, and get a crisp, yet smooth texture to the skin.
Ever wonder how in the world graphite pencil can make clothing look so soft and realistic?
Using a similar process as you would use on the skin tones, you'll learn to create the base contours in the folds of cloth, seams, buttons, stitching, and embroidery.
With the base contours laid down, you'll learn to soften cloth textures. You'll learn how Darrel uses 3 rules of light to interpret shadows, create depth in stitching and recessed folds of cloth.
And then the real fun begins!
The hair is always the last thing. It's one of the most fun and rewarding parts of drawing a portrait. It lays in quickly and fluidly. Layer by layer the hair will build to create natural, silky locks that seem as if they could rustle in the breeze.
Of course, your portraits wouldn't be complete without a properly placed signature. You'll get a specific technique that you can follow to make sure that your signature will be in complete balance with your drawing.
And once you've completed your masterpiece, you will certainly want to be sure to protect it from smudging. Using fixative properly will ensure that your portrait stays crisp and clean. You'll learn not only the best approach for applying the fixative evenly, but for knowing when to stop.
Don't let your artistic potential go to waste. Take action today. You'll be thanking yourself for years to come.
Don't let your artistic potential go to waste! Your brain is capable of so much more than you ever imagined. Here's your chance to add a new skill to your lineup — a skill that will bring joy to you and everyone who comes in contact with your artwork!
After years of testing in the marketplace, it's clear that whether you're already drawing and are now ready to take your skills to the next level or if you've been known to say things like "I can't draw a stickman" — this instruction works! In fact, we're so sure that these lessons will give you drawing skills that you can carry with you wherever you go, that we have put a full 100% money-back guarantee behind it. You will be happy with the results or you'll get your money back! It's that simple.

Death penalty for Brownsville man
Mon, 27 Oct 2008 15:11:47 GMT —
It didn TMt take jurors very long to decide on a sentence for Manuel Velez.
The 43-year-old Brownsville man was convicted in the death of 1-year-old Angel Moreno last week.
Jurors started deliberations around 3 p.m. Friday and emerged two hours later with their sentence: the death penalty.
Cameron County First Assistant District Attorney Chuck Mattingly believes the jury made the right decision.
"They took their job very seriously," he said. "They asked to review the evidence after they were sent back to deliberate. They took their time with it.
State District Judge Able Limas did not allow full use of Velez TMs past criminal history but Mattingly said prosecutors brought most of Velez's past to light.
"We were able to present his criminal history punishment, called witness on future danger," he said. "Another witness form Wisconsin who had arrested him for aggravated battery."
The sentencing interrupted by numerous outbursts in the courtroom prompting heightened security.
Judge Limas sent Velez TMs brother out of the courtroom in handcuffs earlier in the week for allegedly making threats.
Velez's mother and urrent wife were visibly upset and agitated, but Velez remained stoic during the proceedings.

Penn State, former basketball player reach settlement in lawsuit over discrimination
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. A former Penn State women's basketball player on Monday, Feb. 5, settled a discrimination lawsuit filed against longtime Lady Lions coach Rene Portland and the university.
Jennifer Harris had said in the December 2005 lawsuit that Portland discriminated against her because the coach perceived her to be a lesbian. The suit alleged that Portland tried to force Harris, who says she is not gay, to leave the team.
Harris, Portland and Penn State athletics director Tim Curley, another defendant, said in a joint statement that they had reached "an amicable settlement."
"Penn State, Mr. Curley and Coach Portland have disputed Ms. Harris' allegations and have denied any liability with respect to the complaints filed against them," the statement said. "Ms. Harris has agreed to permanently withdraw and end her legal actions against all parties."
Harris will also withdraw her complaint about Portland filed with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission.
Harris' lawyer, Karen Doering, said, "Jennifer is very pleased with the settlement."
The university had its own investigation and reprimanded Portland last April, threatening to dismiss her for any future violation of the school's discrimination policy. She was also find $10,000 and ordered to take professional development "devoted to diversity and inclusiveness."
Portland disagreed with the school's findings.
Utah lawmakers reject attempt to prohibit gay-straight alliance in public high schools
SALT LAKE CITY The House rejected legislation Monday, Feb. 5, to heavily regulate school clubs that had been designed to prohibit gay-straight alliance clubs in Utah high schools.
Instead, the House voted 39-26 to require students to get parental approval to join any extracurricular club.
The measure rejected by the House would have banned student clubs from discussing human sexuality or contraceptives, but it didn't stop there.
The bill would have cast a wide regulatory net over all clubs, requiring students to draw up a charter and bylaws for something as simple as playing ping-pong or chess.
Even many House Republicans argued that the state didn't need to get interfere with school districts' own club-making rules.
Monday's compromise was brokered by Rep. Scott Wyatt, R-Logan, who got House members to strip the original bill of most of its 16 pages of regulations for clubs. Among the provisions taken out was a requirement that clubs submit discussion handouts for approval to school principals a week ahead of a club meeting.
The defeated bill sponsored by Rep. Aaron Tilton, R-Springville, also would have required visitors to get a school's permission to address a club, Wyatt said.
The substituted version of House Bill 236 now goes to the Senate for approval.
Baptist church resigns from convention rather than repeal welcome to gays
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Another Baptist church has voted to leave the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina rather than face expulsion under a new policy to ban congregations that welcome gays and lesbians.
Members of St. John's Baptist Church tentatively voted Sunday, Feb. 3, to drop affiliation with the convention, three months after the state Baptists decided at its annual meeting in Greensboro to investigate and expel member churches that accept gays and lesbians.
The vote will not be effective immediately because the church is still investigating what effect its departure from the convention would have on its tax status as a charitable organization, the pastor, the Rev. Richard Kremer, said.
The statement approved with an overwhelming show of hands accused the state convention of choosing "to narrow its membership to exclude churches and institutions that do not adhere to its exclusive and discriminatory view of who is welcome in its fellowship."
The convention's new policy, adopted in November, states: "Among churches not in friendly cooperation with the convention are churches which knowingly act to affirm, approve, endorse, promote, support or bless homosexual behavior."
It affects nearly 20 Baptist churches in the state that are affiliated with the liberal Alliance of Baptists, based in Washington, which allows member churches to accept gays and lesbians.
Women's Network, ACLU among groups pushing for anti-discrimination bill
BOISE, Idaho Activist groups are hoping to convince state lawmakers that even if Idahoans don't think gay people should marry, they shouldn't be discriminated against in areas such as housing and employment.
The groups, led by the Idaho Women's Network and the American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho, are trying to pass an amendment to the Idaho Human Rights Act that would prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Right now, the act protects against discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
Three Idaho cities Boise, Troy and McCall have already passed local ordinances that ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, and at least 17 states have similar laws, including Washington, which passed its version last year.
The groups presented their proposal before the Idaho Human Rights Commission on Monday, Feb. 5. The commission can only choose to endorse the amendment, which specifies discrimination in housing, employment and education. For it to take effect, it must be approved by the state's conservative Legislature, where Republicans outnumber Democrats 79-26.
Montana activists to try again for law banning anti-gay discrimination
HELENA, Mont. Gay rights advocates, whose efforts to enact a law that would outlaw discrimination against gays and lesbians failed two years ago, are reviving the issue.
Sen. Christine Kaufmann, an openly gay Helena Democrat, is sponsoring a bill that would add "gender identity or expression" and "sexual orientation" as categories under the laws prohibiting discrimination. The laws currently cover race, religion, gender and other areas.
Kaufmann said her proposal makes good on promises of equality laid out in the state and U.S. constitutions. She compared the measure to the civil rights movement.
Opponents said the measure discriminates against Christians who believe homosexuality is immoral, or extends legal privileges that will be used in ways that can't be predicted.
The measure was supported by groups such as the Montana ACLU, the Montana Advocacy Program, the Montana Human Rights Network and gay activists.
It was opposed by the Montana Citizens for Decency Through Law, the Eagle Forum, the Montana Catholic Conference, the Montana Boy Scouts and others.
The governor's office supports the bill.
Anti-gay-marriage bills apparently dead in this session of New Mexico Legislature
SANTA FE Two measures that would ban same-sex marriage in New Mexico were tabled in a House committee on Thursday, Feb. 1, apparently killing them for this session of the Legislature.
The four Democrats on the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee voted to table the measures; the three Republicans on the committee voted against tabling.
House Joint Resolution 2, sponsored by Rep. Gloria Vaughn, R-Alamogordo, would have let state voters decide whether to amend the constitution to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
House Bill 395, sponsored by Rep. Nora Espinoza, R-Roswell, would have added that same definition of marriage to state law.
Gay bar president resigns over comments on discrimination suit against law firm
The president of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Law Association has resigned over comments he made to the press about an sexual orientation discrimination suit filed by an associate against the international law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, according to reports published Monday, Feb. 5, on Law.com.
Shortly after Aaron Charney filed his Jan. 15 complaint, John Scheich, then-vice president of LeGAL, told ABC News that the firm had been a strong supporter of gay lawyers and suggested that even though he did not know Charney or the details of the case, he would side with Sullivan & Cromwell.
In a statement issued late Feb. 1, Scheich said he disaffirmed his statement to ABC and apologized to Charney.
"As a former litigator I should have known better," he said. "The plaintiff should be given every opportunity to prove his case and should not be prejudged simply because I knew more about the defendant than I did him."
Scheich, who was only recently elected president of LeGAL, said he was resigning because the controversy was damaging the organization.
Charney's suit claims several Sullivan & Cromwell partners discriminated against him because he is gay and retaliated against him when he made an internal complaint. The firm has categorically denied the allegations.
Catholic Citizenship head facing another possible charge for incident at rally
Larry Cirignano, the outgoing head of the Catholic Citizenship group who has been under fire for allegedly pushed a counter-demonstrator at the agency's anti-gay marriage rally at City Hall, now faces an additional accusation of interfering with civil rights, according to reports published this week in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
Cirignano already faced a possible charge of assault and battery as a result of the incident during the rally on Dec. 16. A magistrate will decide in a hearing set for Feb. 20 if that charge should be brought before a judge, the newspaper said.
Human Rights Campaign announces first chief diversity officer
The Human Rights Campaign this week announced the appointment of Cuc Vu as its first chief diversity officer. Vu's job will be to foster a work environment where diversity is recognized as a fundamental part of HRC's organizational culture regardless of rank and title, officials said.
Vu, who will report directly to Human Rights Campaign president Joe Solmonese, will also oversee the organization's outreach to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities of color.
Vu most recently served as the Immigration Campaign manager at the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) for almost five years where she helped build coalitions with churches and immigrant, labor, civil rights, student, business and ethnic media groups.

Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye dies at age 88
As reported by NPR and many other news outlets, long-time Hawaii Senator Daniel K. Inouye passed away in Walter Reed National Military Medical Center late Monday afternoon. The cause of death was respiratory failure after being hospitalized on Dec 9th.
Inouye was the majority party's most senior member of the U.S. Senate, and hence president pro tem. Constitutionally, that position is third in line for the presidency, after the Vice President and the Speaker of the House.
With Inouye's passing, Vermont's Patrick Leahy becomes the senator with the most seniority.
Inouye came to national attention as part of separate Senate hearings for Watergate and the Iran-Contra investigation.
His death will leave a void in Washington and an even bigger one in the landscape of the 50th state.
The joke in Hawaii was the state's three economic pillars are tourism, the military and Senator Inouye – chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Inouye made no bones about maximizing that role, calling himself "king of pork", while maintaining he sought to fund goals which served the greater good.
Inouye's demise will lead to some shuffling of senate and committee roles, as discussed by this 12/17 Washington Wire blog on the Wall Street Journal.
While Sen. Inouye ranks as a great, important American leader, he was not perfect, or without critics, including long-standing complaints that Hawaii fell prey to an unhealthy degree of one-party domination, with Inouye as the most powerful player in that setting.
According to The Hill
He had planned to run for another term in the Senate when his office was up in 2016. Instead Gov. Neil Abercrombie (D) will name a temporary replacement until a special election can be held in 2014, when Hawaii voters will choose a senator to serve the remainder of Inouye's term.
Hawaii suffered a double blow this year, losing all its seniority in one cycle. Besides Inouye's death, Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii) is retiring after five terms.
Honolulu Civil Beat speculates on the most likely picks, reporting that Inouye favored Colleen Hanabusa, a current member of the the House of Representatives from Hawaii's 1st district.
Daniel Inouye was born in humble circumstances yet he ended up in the thick of Hawaii's most important social revolution of the 20th century. Namely, the remarkable patriotism shown by Hawaii's nisei community during WW II and the rise of the Democratic Party in Hawaii's post-war period. (Nisei refers to 2nd generation Americans of Japanese ancestry.)
He was a highly-decorated veteran who lost an arm during fierce combat in Italy. At the time, Inouye was nominated for the Medal of Honor but received the Distinguished Service Cross and the Purple Heart with oak leaf cluster and a Bronze Star.
As reported by Fox News, that was amended in 2000:
None of the Nisei soldiers of the 442nd Regiment ever received the Medal of Honor, the military's highest decoration, even though many considered the battalion among the most heroic in World War II. More than 50 years later, the Distinguished Service Crosses given to Inouye and 21 other members of the regiment were upgraded to the Medal of Honor. Fifteen of the medals were awarded posthumously. President Clinton presented Inouye and the other remaining veterans with the Medal of Honor at the White House.
Among other causes and alliances, Inouye was a friend and champion of indigenous Hawaiian and Native American peoples.
To date, Inouye was America's 2nd longest serving senator, behind Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia and ahead of Strom Thurmond of South Carolina.
Inouye was elected to the House of Representatives in August of 1959 and became a Senator in 1963. (Sen. Leahy became a Senator in 1975.)
"Uncle Dan" has been one of my state's two Representatives or Senators for very nearly my entire life.
According to media reports, Inouye died with family by his side.
Inouye's office says the Senator's last spoken word was "Aloha". The all-encompassing Hawaiian expression means many things: hello, goodbye and love. Literally, "aloha" is the breath of life.

KCCC - feels like 'plastic' coating?

Wow, what great and thorough responses!
Good question about how I'm using it.... tried the 'scrunch' method, tried raking, also tried just trying to lightly 'coat' in sections (I guess that's kind of like raking?), tried combing through. I'm pretty sure it's the actual product and not the method - although from some of the posts I've read about this product I shouldn't be too convinced of that!!
The AOHR is something new for me, over the years the only thing I've found to work consistently is if I mix about 1/2 cup of olive oil into a large bottle of suave (vanilla floral is the latest) and use that as my leave-in. TONS of it - if I don't get a coating on every section of hair then all it does is fluff out - no curl formation (no matter what else I use with it!)
So far, there's been no such thing as 'getting weighed down' for me in terms of volume. To get curls (and only SOME chunks will curl - some stay straight/smooth, some straignt/coarse and some wavy) I really need something that heavy. I do know when I hit the 'used too much
' stage because the parts that usually go into coils get TOTALLY and crazily coiled, and the parts that are straighter get SUPER straight and won't blend in at all.
If it wasn't so frustating it'd be funny. Even my "curl expert" hair stylist is totally baffled by this mess. I seriously think when I got made I must have gotten all the leftovers from everyone else's hair!!!! =)
I just now ordered the KCKT (and a new tub of the
) and will give that a go.

Ryne worked on a study concerning the effectiveness of radio wave frequencies as a treatment for tumors with Dr. Boris Pasche, head of Hematology and Oncology at the school's hospital and head of cancer research at the university. Different tumors are sensitive to different frequencies of radio waves. This novel treatment involves the use of low-level electromagnetic fields emitting radiation anywhere from 100 to 1000 times less than a mobile phone. it isn't the strength of the radiation that is key, but the frequency and how it affects different types of cancer. This type of treatment has shown clinical success in Phase Two trials and is about to move to a much larger multicenter Phase Three trial.
Ryne's days were long, starting at 6:30am and not concluding until around 7:00pm. He worked with cell cultures, human tissues, and multiple assays. He attended the internship with 10 other students from schools such as Rice, Boston University, and the University of Michigan.
When asked about his experience during the internship, Ryne said, "It was a lot of work and a great experience. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I learned and how friendly and helpful everyone at the university turned out to be. I obtained quite a bit of lab experience, advice, and was able to network a great deal. It was hard work, but I enjoyed it." Ryne's experience lasted until July 24th.
Ryne began the process by completing an online application and the necessary paperwork requested. Information on other internship opportunities is located in the University Science Scholars Program office in Frigourgh Hall, room 215.

There have been occasions in the past that I've driven north on I-275, heading toward Pinellas, and found myself daydreaming instead, realizing seconds too late that I've missed my exit and must drive to Tampa to rectify the situation. I assure you that I'm normally a good driver — this happens to everyone ... right?
Taking the first Tampa exit at Kennedy Boulevard, I've always noticed a peculiar-looking place to my right as I make a U-turn toward the southbound on-ramp: a neon-lit sign depicting a cartoon fox wearing a bow tie, accompanied by the name of the club — "The Fox."
Over time, this motivated me to do some research on the Fox Jazz Club, which I learned to be a popular but polarizing club that racked up outraged and glowing patron reviews in equal parts before filing for bankruptcy and closing down at the beginning of 2010. Toward the end of the year, the Fox regrouped, found new management and reopened, this time to mostly positive reviews.
At the end of a thoroughly exhausting Saturday, after trips to both Sweetwater Organic Farm's Raw Food Fair and the Cajun Café on the Bayou's Beer Festival, I was ready to cool down before the also-busy day to follow. So I took a trip down to the Fox to see for myself what it was all about.
The Fox is located in the Lincoln Center, a West Shore office complex that seems an unlikely spot for any sort of jazz club, much less one with a packed parking lot.
It seems the word is out. Once inside, I was informed that there was a $10 cover, which I reluctantly ponied up. There was quite a bit going on inside the club, and I needed to satisfy my long-standing curiosity, which had grown to at least $10 in relative value by this point.
Immediately, I noticed that there was no seating and equally little standing room. Every stool at the long, winding bar was occupied, and other patrons were seated at the dinner tables and high-tops, with the rest on the dance floor, which was in full swing. A full band was on stage, playing a high-energy jazz fusion set mixed with a few renditions of modern pop hits. I picked up a Canadian Club and soda and ducked into a hallway by the bar to survey the scene.
The Fox was no mystery to the flock of patrons inside — well-dressed and ready for a night out at an elegant, upscale club. The setting was nice, and everyone was having a great time, but I was tired and disappointed that there was no place to sit and relax after my long day of not really working very hard at all.
Just then, my accomplice suggested that we explore the hallway, which I had assumed led to the office complex. I was wrong — at the end was another bar, this one pitch-black, save for a few lights illuminating a jazz quartet performing to a small and intimate audience. The scene was straight out of a noir film, with a lounge singer's silky voice cutting through the shadows of the small room as people seated at tables along the walls sipped cocktails and listened intently.
The band was the Kym Purling Quartet, with Orlando singer Ashley Locheed on vocals. It was so refreshing to hear the quartet's laid-back lounge numbers after such a long day that I sat down at a table near Mr. Purling's baby grand and didn't get up until they wrapped their set around 1 a.m.
In the end, the Fox turned out to be two very different experiences under one roof. The front bar, with its energetic players and bustling crowd, is a great spot for a night out on the town. For a more relaxed vibe, the back lounge is the spot. With live music four nights a week, including occasional appearances by well-known acts such as the Dan McMillion Jazz Orchestra, the Fox is worth a look for jazz aficionados and nightlife types alike.

This came out of one of our internal security review. I thought I would post it here for beware sake.
DirectoryInfo's Name property currently requires no permission checks in and of itself, though you do need Read permission to construct a DirectoryInfo in the first place. DirectoryInfo's FullName property requires path discovery permission to the fully qualified path, and the Parent property (which returns a new DirectoryInfo) requires Read and PathDiscovery permission to the parent directory.
Isolated storage stores information in a cryptographically strong name to protect the name of the directory from the assembly that has permission to read & write in that directory. The application must not be able to get the fully qualified path to isolated storage. This is a bit counter-intuitive, but may be important in helping prevent cross-zone scripting attacks or other similar attacks.
The lack of any permission checks here on the Name property could be a vulnerability for apps that create directories within isolated storage or some other containment-based virtual directory root (ASP.NET does some amount of restriction as well.)
The strange thing about path discovery and a scenario like isolated storage is that you have permission to a relative directory. So if you have something like c:\a\b\c, we may prevent you from discovering c:\a, but allow you to read .\b and .\b\c. We currently have no mechanism for handling relative directories in a pleasant manner with respect to permission checks – we always fully qualify, and we can't hand back a name like that. This seems interesting, but too complex to solve right now.
1) The Name property could demand path discovery on the directory itself
2) The Name property could demand read permission on the parent directory to support isolated storage
3) Invent some new functionality for a virtual root directory to help with sandboxing
4) Document that the Name property of a DirectoryInfo requires no permission (beyond the read permission to the directory necessary to construct the DirectoryInfo), and can give out the directory name. So do not hand out a DirectoryInfo to your protected directory with a cryptographically secure name. Instead, if you must do this, create a dummy directory for the un-trusted code's use.
To first appearances, 1 seems to be the most intuitive, but doesn't solve isolated storage and isn't exactly what we want since we're not handing back a fully qualified path, but only a portion of the path. 2 would solve the problem for isolated storage, but seems like an awkward way of protecting a path name, saying path discovery permission is no longer sufficient to discover even the name of a directory, let alone a fully qualified path. 3 sounds interesting for a future version. 4 seems like the best choice for now.

Raleigh's worst-kept secret became official on Monday when junior forward C.J. Leslie announced that he would join classmate Lorenzo Brown and leave NC State early to enter the NBA Draft.
The duo joins senior tandem Scott Wood[/db] and Richard Howell as the departing nucleus of the Wolfpack, which has accomplished some incredible feats and returned NC State to the national picture on the hardwood while reaching consecutive NCAA Tournaments.
Below is a by the numbers look at what the quartet was able to accomplish during their careers in the Red and White.
1 Senior Scott Wood leaves with the school record of 334 career 3-pointers, which ranks fifth in ACC history. Wood also holds program standards for games played (138) and started (136).
3 Junior Lorenzo Brown is just the third in program history to reach 500 career assists, finishing behind Chris Corchiani and Sidney Lowe with 589 in his career. This past season, Brown tied for sixth nationally with an average of 7.2 per game.
3 Junior C.J. Leslie is one of just three players who ranked in the ACC's top 10 this year for scoring (15.1 ppg, seventh), rebounding (7.4 rpg, eighth) and field goal percentage (.519, seventh).
4 Senior Richard Howell is tied for fourth all-time with 132 games played (Gavin Grant and Sammy Ranzino). He was also one of just four BCS players to average a double-double in conference action (12.3 points, 11.4 rebounds per game), and he led the ACC and ranked fifth nationally in overall rebounding (10.9 per game).
5 Howell is one of five players in program history to reach at least 1,000 career points (1,214) and 1,000 career rebounds (1,055). The others are: Ronnie Shavlik (1,761 points, 1,598 rebounds), Tommy Burleson (1,598, 1,066), Mel Thompson (1,574, 1,063) and Bobby Speight (1,430, 1,057). Howell also ranks first all-time with 392 offensive boards and fifth in total rebounds.
5 Leslie ranks fifth all-time in program history with 139 blocks.
5 All five of NC State's starters at the end of the year earned ACC honors - Howell was a first-team All-ACC honoree by the media and second-team by the coaches. Brown and Leslie were named to the second- and third-teams, respectively, by both the media and coaches, while freshman T.J. Warren was an All-Rookie selection. Wood was named ACC All-Tournament second-team.
7 Brown's 172 steals ranks seventh all-time in program history. He led the ACC in the category for each of the past two years.
11 With the experienced nucleus, NC State posted 11 wins against ACC foes this season, its highest total since 2003-04.
13 Brown is also tied for 13th in NC State's annals with 95 games started (Curtis Marshall also started 95 games).
18 Wood ranks 18th all-time in program annals with 1,467 points.
18 Howell posted 18 double-doubles as a senior, which is tied for the ACC lead and tied for sixth nationally. Tommy Burleson is the only player in school history to ever record more in a single season.
20 Leslie stands 20th in Pack history with 723 career rebounds.
23 Leslie also ranks 23rd in school history with 1,359 points.
44.1 Wood led the ACC in three-point field goal percentage (44.1 percent) and made three-pointers per game (2.97). He ranked 11th nationally in three-point field goal percentage.
55 Everett Case is the only coach to win more games (55) in his first two seasons coaching the Pack than Mark Gottfried (48). Gottfried is the first coach in school history, and just the third in ACC annals, to take his first two squads to the NCAA Tournament.
63 With all four players on the roster, NC State compiled a record of 63-40 (.610) overall and 25-25 against ACC competition.
89 Wood also holds the school record for career free throw percentage (233-263, .890). He would have paced the ACC and ranked among the nation's top five this season with a 91.4 percent success rate from the charity stripe, but he did not met the benchmark of 2.5 made free throws per game to qualify. Wood's career free throw percentage is the ACC's third-best all-time.
329 The foursome combined for 329 blocks; Leslie led the way with 136 in his career.
469 The quartet combined for 469 steals during their careers; Brown led the way with 172.
470 The foursome played in a total of 470 games during their Wolfpack careers, including 397 starts.
1,039 The four departing players recorded a total of 1,039 assists while playing in the Red and White; Brown led the way with 589.
1983 Was the last year that NC State recorded more than the 24 victories they have collected during each of the last two years. Jim Valvano's National Championship squad in 1983 went 26-10; NC State was 24-13 last year and 24-11 this season. The 48 combined wins are the most in back-to-back seasons since 1981-82 and 1982-83 (also 48).
2004 Howell was NC State's first All-ACC first-teamer since Julius Hodge in 2004.
2,571 The four Wolfpackers pulled down a combined 2,571 rebounds during their careers; Howell led the way with 1,055.
5,207 The foursome combined for 5,207 points during their NC State careers. Wood led the way with 1,467 and they were just the ninth team in ACC history to have four 1,000-point scorers on the same roster. There are 48 players in program history who have reached the 1,000-point plateau, and the Pack has boasted a trio of such players twice in their history (2008-09 with Brandon Coster, Ben McCauley and Courtney Fells and 1982-83 with Thurl Bailey, Dereck Whittenburg and Sidney Lowe).
NC State media relations contributed to the research needed for this piece.

Exmouth III bag thrilling single wicket win thanks to Hurley knock
PUBLISHED: 10:31 14 August 2014 | UPDATED: 10:31 14 August 2014
Exmouth III were single wicket winners when they visited Exwick II for a Francis Clark Devon League 2nd XI E Division East meeting, writes Ryan Schaufler.
The Maer man fielded first on a sunny day. Michael Collinge and Ryan Schaufler took the new ball and the latter struck first, clean bowling one of the home openers.
Schaufler struck again with wicket keeper James Grant taking the catch and another edge was held by Michael Collinge at gulley to give Schaufler 3-16 from his five over spell.
Grant held a second catch, this time off the Collinge bowling before the bowler picked up two more wickets courtesy of a terrific in-swinger and a leg before decision to see Collinge finish with 3-17 from nine splendid overs.
Luke Davies and Morgan Wright (0-26 from eight overs) were next into the attack. Both bowled well and young Davies claimed a wicket when Dave Grant held a wonderful diving catch. Davies bagged another wicket, this one courtesy of a Collinge catch and he finished with 2-16 from nine overs. The late order produced something of a fight back and the Exwick innings closed on 143-8 from 45 overs.
The Maer men reply was begun by the pairing of Tom Sandford and Dave Grant. The latter was first to fall though there was an element of ill-fortune about his dismissal as the ball rolled down his glove onto his pad and ricochet onto his stumps - sending him back for a 16-ball knock of 20.
Ed Hurley stopped the rot and took the attack to the home side. He launched the ball to all parts of the ground, but wickets continued to fall at the other end and, when last man James Grant joined Hurley at the wicket Exmouth looked beaten on 108-9!
Hurley had other ideas and, with Grant applying a sensible approach of defence at one end, Hurley took centre stage as the pair added 39 for the unbroken final wicket to secure their side a famous victory with the win confirmed when Hurley rifled the ball for yet another boundary.
Grant finished unbeaten on five from 25 balls faced, but the undoubted star of the show was Hurley who was 68 not out from 60 deliveries.
The win sees Exmouth III stay top of the table and they can secure the title with a big victory at home to second placed Filleigh on Saturday.
