Moussa Sissoko ready for Belarus
Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko is concerned his dream of representing France in a World Cup may be in danger following the goalless draw against Georgia.
Les Bleus trail Spain by three points in Group I and now look likely to face the lottery of qualification via the play-offs.
But Sissoko is keen to leave the disappointment of failing to beat Georgia, 97th in the FIFA world rankings, behind and concentrate on the trip to Belarus.
"During the first hour on Friday, we should have done more to raise our level, but unfortunately, we did not," Sissoko told the Evening Chronicle.
"Why? I do not have the answer. During the last 30 minutes, the team played better and faster. If we had done that from the beginning of the match, we might have been able to score. It's a game to forget, and we must quickly focus on Belarus.
"We are disappointed but it's not over. We have a fight and we will give everything. It would be a nightmare if we did not qualify. It is every player's dream to play in a World Cup."
Meanwhile, Shola Ameobi's situation with Nigeria seems far more positive.
The Newcastle striker made his home debut in the 2-0 victory against Malawi which secured the Super Eagles a two-legged play-off with a place in Brazil next summer at stake.
Ameobi said: "I'm very happy to be here now with the Nigera team and hopefully I can help us achieve great things.
"I wanted to be part of the squad for the African Cup of nations and I regret that a clause in my contract stopped that from having. We are a good team, full of good players and let's now see who we get in the play-off."

Pakistan: More than 300 people die in Karachi and Lahore factory fires
More than 300 people have been killed in Pakistan after fires swept through two factories in Karachi and Lahore.
The fires occured late on Tuesday, according to police and government officials, with the deaths likely to raise questions about industrial safety standards in the country.
'People started screaming for their lives,' said eyewitness Mohammad Asif, 20. 'Everyone came to the window. I jumped from the third floor.'
The deadliest incident took place in a garment factory in Karachi, where flames raced through the property, in a busy commercial area of the city, killing at least 289 people.
Around 25 people were killed in a blaze that devastated a shoe factory in Lahore with critics of the country's government claiming that there are various problems with employee welfare in Pakistan.
Mohammad Pervez, an employee at the factory in Karachi, said: 'The owners were more concerned with safeguarding the garments in the factory than the workers.
'If there were no metal grills on the windows a lot of people would have been saved. The factory was overflowing with garments and fabrics. Whoever complained was fired.'
Pakistan's government has been accused of being corrupt and ineffective, failing to focus on the welfare of workers.
In response a provincial minister has ordered an inspection of all factories and industrial plants in Sindh province within 48 hours.


text: How can you win at losing? It's nearly a contradiction in terms. Still, people try every day to succeed – or win – at losing weight. For some, it's easy. They step on the treadmill a few times a week, choose healthier foods and watch as their unwanted pounds fall right off. For others, losing weight takes commitment, diligence and willpower. For them, losing weight and keeping it off means completely changing their lifestyle, something that can be extremely difficult. It's no wonder, then, that our culture is quick to jump on the latest diet craze or weight-loss trend. We'll try almost anything to make winning at losing easier. One of our best metrics for how to succeed, though, is to look at the habits of people who have had success. For that, we turn to the National Weight Control Registry.The National Weight Control Registry was established in 1994 to identify and study the characteristics of people who have lost weight and kept it off over time. "The Registry currently is tracking 5,000 people who have lost an average of 66 pounds and kept it off for an average of five years or more," Blount Memorial registered dietitian Angie Tillman explained. "These are people who have set their weight loss goals and achieved them, and we can look at their habits and methods for guidance in our own weight loss goals. For instance, a large percentage of successful losers eat breakfast every day. Numerous studies have shown that breakfast eaters tend to weigh less than people who skip breakfast. A healthy, balanced breakfast can set a good trend for good food choices throughout the rest of the day," Tillman said. "As a general rule, you shouldn't skip meals. Our bodies need consistent fuel intake throughout the day to perform at its best. Registry participants, on average, eat 4-5 smaller meals each day," she added.Tillman says Registry participants had other specific diet routines, as well. "Most Registry participants ate diets that were lower in fat," she said. "This doesn't mean 'fat-free,' but it definitely means fewer fried foods, fast foods, salad dressings, margarine and creamy sauces. For alternatives, consider healthy fats such as olive oil, nuts, avocados and olives. Registry participants also eat more fruits and vegetables, which are higher in fiber, vitamins and minerals, but lower in calories. Overall, we all should be striving to eat balanced diets of healthy carbohydrates, protein and good fats," Tillman said. "A lot of this can be accomplished by simply planning out our meals ahead of time. Lack of planning leads to less-healthy food choices, so take a few minutes before you go grocery shopping to think about what you'll pack for lunch or snacks each day," she added.Weighing yourself also is a crucial part of weight loss for Registry participants, but you can overdo it. "To determine how well you're doing at losing weight, you have to weigh yourself regularly," Tillman said. "If you stop weighing yourself completely, it becomes very easy for a few extra pounds to turn into five or 10 pounds or more. Still, at the same time, you shouldn't weigh yourself too often, as sometimes the immediate feedback from the scale doesn't accurately reflect your true day-to-day progress," she explained. "Remember, you should aim for reasonable weight loss of about 1 to 1.5 pounds each week. Research shows that slow and steady is the way to go," she added.Of course, no weight loss plan is likely to be complete without some form of exercise in the mix, something that is true among Registry participants. "You should do some aerobic exercise regularly," Tillman said. "The most frequently reported activity among Registry participants is walking, but you also can jog, swim or cycle. Strength training also is important, as it helps maintain lean body mass, which boosts your metabolic rate. If you're new to strength training, remember you always can seek the help of a qualified personal trainer," she explained.Losing weight and maintaining it is not easy, but the benefits are worthwhile. To help with this, the Blount Memorial Weight Management Center is preparing their spring "Winning at Weight Loss" class, set to begin Monday, March 23 at 6:30 p.m. at the Blount Memorial Wellness Center at Springrbook. "Winning at Weight Loss" is a 12-week weight management program led by registered dietitians and exercise physiologists who work with you on an individual and group basis to find the best strategies for your situation. Participants also will receive personalized nutrition and workout plans tailored to their needs. The weekly classes will focus on effective exercise options such as strength training, cardio intervals, power walking, BodyVive® and stretching, while also addressing healthy cooking strategies, emotional eating, stress management and long-term behavior change.

DENVER -- Denver Police say a Parks and Recreation employee is the suspect in at least two shootings that may be gang related.
They arrested Damion Baca, 33, for attempted murder Monday.
His arrest raises questions of how the city of Denver could hire someone who is an admitted gang member with an extensive criminal record that dates back 15 years.
Baca worked for the city as a utility employee for eight months.
He did work like mowing, landscaping and plowing.
But police say he armed himself with more than a shovel.
As a member of the Eastside Oldies 13 gang, he allegedly wielded a handgun and shot at at least two people, two separate times.
On Dec. 21, Police say he shot at a former rival gang member of the ChiCi 30, six times in an alley behind a house in the 3500 block of Vine St.
Then, on Jan. 10, he's accused of shooting at someone in the 3800 block of High Street.
An arrest warrant states both times, witnesses say a man who looked like Baca was hanging out the front passenger window with a gun.
One witness said the car was a Crown Victoria, the other, a Lincoln Continental.
Baca drives a '97 silver Lincoln sedan.
Police say Star Rivera, 31, was behind the wheel of Baca's car when he allegedly opened fire.
And, Abel Banuelos, 33, was in the backseat during the second shooting.
Banuelos was arrested for possessing a weapon as a previous offender.
Police arrested Baca and Rivera Monday at 11th and Lipan during a traffic stop.
Baca remains in the Denver Jail. Rivera bonded out Tuesday. Banuelos was released in January.
Brooke Brookes with Denver's Human Resources Department said they would release a statement as to how Baca could have gotten hired by the city. She claims they do background checks. But the department never responded and has ignored repeated calls for answers.
Before getting hired on full-time, several months ago, Baca was an on-call worker since 2010.

Mike Birbiglia's mostly true tale of the unraveling of an eight-year relationship, his struggle with a serious sleep disorder and his attempts to make it as a comic is deeply heartfelt and bitingly hilarious.
It's amazing that, more or less, this tale of comedian Mike Birbiglia's life is true. Edited and tweaked for cinematic impact, of course, it chronicles a tough time in the life of Birbiglia's alter ego Matt Pandamiglio. More of a wannabe comic than struggling, really, he works as a bartender at a comic club and just moved in with his girlfriend of nearly eight years, Abby (Lauren Ambrose).
One night, they attend a party at his parents house (delightfully played by the slightly curmudgeon James Rebhorn and the almost-airhead Carol Kane) where his sister Janet (Cristin Milioti) announces her engagement. Of course, this prompts questions about he future of his relationship with Abby and that night she, and his mother, wake up to find him trying to get rid of an imaginary jackal in his sleep. On top of the stress of marriage, and what he hopes is a one-off sleepwalking event, he tries his best to advance from barman to bonafide comic.
Co-written by Ira Glass, on whose program This American Life Birbiglia first told this story, it's a film about comics, as comedians are want to do, but at it's core it's a film about the relationship of Matt and Abby. Despite being together for almost a decade, they're just moving in together and Matt is reluctant about marriage. As Marc Maron aka Marc Mulheren is giving advice to Matt after a disastrous set, Matt quips "I only want to get married once I know nothing else good will happen in my life." Marc tells him he should put that in his set. And so Matt does, on a seemingly never ending road trip around the Northeast, haphazardly booked by his new agent. His set is increasingly about the serious issues of his relationship but has yet to express any of it to Abby. As the stress of his seemingly deteriorating relationship and exhaustion of the "tour" wear on him, his sleepwalking gets worse.
He continues to act out his dreams, once waking up in the shower at a fellow comic's house he's crashing at, but continues to ignore the severity of the issue, just like his relationship with Abby. Filled with small comics by fellow comics like Maron (and an even smaller cameo by Loudon Wainwright III as Matt's Uncle including a great duet with Ambrose), it's a comedian's film, for sure, but it has more depth than most. While Birbiglia has already proved himself a capable storyteller Sleepwalk with Me (which he co-wrote and co-directed along with starring in) posits that he may have a bright future as a filmmaker. Using his deadpan humor and wit to cut through what is truly a dark and tearful tale, Birbiglia crafts a funny film that actually has something to say.
Rating: 4 out of 5.

AUBURN HILLS -- Nearly everyone on the Pistons benefited from Richard Hamilton's presence on the bench -- except Hamilton.
While Hamilton acted like someone in a rental car negotiating the backstreets of a strange town, the Pistons thrived with their new lineup. By ditching the small lineup that created so much tentativeness, the Pistons lived large and walloped Toronto, 95-76, at The Palace Wednesday night.
Coming off the bench for the first time as a Piston, Hamilton scored just seven points in 21 minutes. The starters got pounded on the boards in the first quarter, but acquitted themselves in the third, outscoring the Raptors 30-19 to stretch a three-point halftime lead to 76-62.
"We haven't had a blowout in awhile," Allen Iverson said. "It definitely worked."
Tayshaun Prince enjoyed the move back to small forward, scoring 25 points despite sitting out the fourth. Jason Maxiell, who replaced an ineffective Amir Johnson in the early going, racked up season highs with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
After getting out-rebounded 12-4 in the first quarter, the Pistons destroyed the Raptors 36-16 in that category the rest of the way. The Raptors were held to 33 second-half points.
Improving the club's defense and rebounding were the major reasons why head coach Michael Curry made the bold move.
"It really wasn't a tough decision," Curry said. "I just wanted to make the best decision."
What's best for the team may not be best for Hamilton, a three-time All-Star who hadn't come off the bench in nearly seven years. He entered with 2:53 left in the first quarter and made the first basket of the second on a typical mid-range shot. But he didn't score again until a fast-break layup in the fourth.
In between, he missed five straight shots and finished 3-for-9 from the field.
"When they came to me and said, 'Hey, Rip, you're coming off the bench,' there's two ways you can deal with it," said Hamilton, who added four assists. "You can be (ticked) off and think it's about yourself. But I'm not about that. I'm about winning. I'm about trying to get back to the Promised Land and get that feeling again with that gold ball and we've got an opportunity to do that."
Curry believes Hamilton will eventually grow into the role.
Even with Hamilton struggling with his shot, the Pistons took over the lead with him in the game most of the second quarter.
"I was kind of scared early because Amir and 'Sheed (Rasheed Wallace) weren't that good in the first quarter, but we're able to be a more balanced team," Curry said. "When you have a quarter where you don't play great basketball, you can go to the bench and be really good. ... It's going to take time for Rip to get in a rhythm playing that role but I think he's going to be great in it and we're going to be better because of it."
A halftime adjustment by Curry helped the Pistons pull away. He switched defensive assignments, putting Johnson on small forward Jamario Moon and shifting Prince to 7-footer Andrea Bargnani.
Not only did Prince limit Bargnani (16 points) to one basket in the quarter, the Raptors had no one to guard him. He scored 12 of his game-high 25 points, including back-to-back 3-pointers.
Rasheed Wallace and Antonio McDyess prevented Chris Bosh from carrying his team, as he often does.
After scoring eight points in just over four minutes of the first quarter, Bosh finished with just 19 points. That was four points below Bosh's average.
It's doubtful Bosh would have been kept in check if the Pistons stuck with the small lineup.
"With this change in the lineup, it's going to continue to help our defense but I think it's going to solidify a lot of things at the offensive end, too," Curry said. "I think we'll be better, as far as execution and scoring because of that."
That was certainly the case Wednesday, as the Pistons shot 50.6 percent from the field. Hamilton made a sacrifice that his teammates appreciated, even if he didn't reap the benefits.
"I wouldn't necessarily say I like it," Iverson said. "It is what it is. It's something we all have to adjust to. It's all part of being a basketball player and being a team. You're faced with a situation and you deal with it and you make the best of it. Obviously, that's what we did tonight. He came in and gave us everything he had, like we expected."

text: Admins, I have a question about the spam bots that keep joining the board. I look at the "newest member" link at the bottom and 9 times out of 10 it's some type of spam bot. When you look at the user profile it will be full of links to whatever they are trying to spam onto the boards. Does this cause any type of drain on the board? What do you do with these accounts? Is the two post rule still in effect before you can have your account activated to post, and is that what is stopping the spammers? If not what is? I'm not complaining or anything and it doesn't bother me. I just wonder what kind of things you are using to keep them from taking over the board like I have seen happen elsewhere.

I have been playing DnD 3.5 for a while now, and I've been wanting to try DMing. It would be my first time DMing so it might be a little bad at times, but really I just want to get better at it. Here is the story, post if you would like to help me out in trying to DM.
You and your group of patrolmen are walking through town when an elf woman runs up to you. "Please help me me and my brother were exploring this cave when he fell through the floor! I don't know how or where he is or if he is hurt but please save him!"
Sorry if that is not that great of an opening , but I'm new at this. The world is home brew but it follows all the 3.5 rules I'll allow most books just run it by me first.

Women Alumni of NJIT Shine in Many Fields
Stephanie Montiero, '08, Pharmaceuticals
Before graduating with top honors in chemical engineering in 2008, she had two summer internships at Schering- Plough, which she parlayed into a full-time job in the company's Global Technical Services group. When Schering-Plough merged with Merck in 2009, she continued on with the company.
A Career in the Pharmaceutial Industry
"My internships were a valuable part of my education," she said. "I experienced quite different sides of the pharmaceutical industry, research and management. I was also able to start building personal relationships with people who might be future colleagues in the industry."
She says that her experiences as an Albert Dorman Honors College scholar also helped to shape her path. "The Honors College was a unique community of individuals with great expectations, working toward a path similar yet different from your own," she said. The students had such a diverse variety of skills to share with each other." She said the college helped her get started at Schering by introducing her to a member of the Honors College Board of Visitors who was a senior vice president in the company.
"There are so many companies that NJIT has ties with and so many connections that are available to us as students," she said. "The resources and opportunities are available to students if they want them."
Future Physical Therapist
Jackleen Samuel plans to have her own practice in aquatic physical therapy and to work with athletes. As a member of the first class in NJIT's accelerated physical therapy program, she is well on her way toward those goals.
While she was a student in Albert Dorman Honors College, she was able to work with the university's athletics center to gain knowledge and experience in athletic training. She also worked as a physical therapy aide at Comprehensive Orthopedic Physical Therapy for two years, coached soccer camps in summer, and worked as a soccer referee. When she received her BS in Biology in 2011, she went on the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program at the UMDNJ-School of Health Related Professions.
"NJIT taught me that it's not about where you've been, but where you are going," she said. "The school gives opportunities to people who might not get them otherwise – it's one of the most diverse campuses I've ever seen. It's also a small but inclusive community where everyone has a chance to get involved without getting lost, and students can connect more easily with their professors."
At UMDNJ, she is active in community outreach programs such as health fairs and community clinics, helping to provide screenings for blood pressure, strength, balance and posture. She is expected to received her DPT degree in 2014.
Combining Aesthetic Beauty and Innovation
Although she graduated less than a year ago, Sara Jane Rin has found the job for which she prepared as an industrial design major at the School of Art + Design. She is a designer at Rich Brilliant Willing, a New York firm specializing in lighting and furniture design and manufacture.
She came to NJIT because she was interested in both engineering and design, and NJIT was one of the few schools that offered both majors. After starting out as an engineering student, she took some design electives and "fell in love with industrial design," eventually switching majors.
"Studio was such an awesome atmosphere to work in. It was very demanding but I loved the challenges and the creative energy. Studio became a second home for me and most of the industrial design majors."
NJIT offered her a broad range of experiences and opportunities, including assignments as a marketing intern at Newwork LLC, a Newark-based architecture firm, arts and culture blogger at Globally Newark.com, exhibits design intern for the Newark Museum and design positions at Ran Lerner Design and POD DESIGN + MEDIA.
"One of my goals while in school was the gain exposure for myself and my designs in different exhibits. NJIT and the School of Art+Design made it possible for me to exhibit my work both domestically and abroad. My scholarship allowed me to develop projects for exhibition with material studies and prototyping," she explained.
Venues where her work has been exhibited include the London Festival of Architecture, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, New York Center for Architecture, Design Newark, and Audible Holiday Gala Auction. All of these experiences helped prepare her for her career.
"Combining aesthetic beauty and innovation, as a designer, I aim to create, influence and succeed, with the sight of my creativity," she says.
Toward a Career in Construction Law
Melissa Salsano '11 plans to combine her degree in civil engineering with her skill in debating to gain a legal degree and a career in construction law. She is already well on her way to that goal, as a law student at Rutgers Law School where she is associate editor of the Law Review and plans to graduate in 2014. She is currently a judicial intern with the New Jersey Judiciary – Appellate Division and served as a law intern for the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General, Transportation, Construction and Condemnation section.
She honed her skill in debate by twice participating in the International Speech and Debate Competition, in Buenos Aires in 2007 and London in 2008, earning third place overall honors as well as first place in rhetorical criticism. NJIT, she says, taught her about people.
"At NJIT, I have opportunities not open to students at other universities," she says. "I have learned how valuable it is to talk with people from other cultures and backgrounds and understand their life experiences. Comparing your thoughts and opinions with others can open your eyes to so many avenues of interest and possibilities. These insights will be invaluable in a legal career."
A Future Dentist
The main reason that Naina Kaushal chose to come to NJIT was its 7-year accelerated BS/DMD program since it provided a faster path to a dental career. So when she completed her BS in Biology in 2011, she moved right down the street to the UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental School as a member of the class of 2014.
At the dental school, she is president of the class of 2014, and last year, as a second-year student she took first place in the pre-doctoral category in the School's Balbo Dental Research Expo for her work on gingival epithelial cells with Professor Gill Diamond of Oral Biology. Eventually, she hopes to specialize in orthodontics or pediatric dentistry.
She says that NJIT's Newark location is very much a plus in her estimation.
"Newark is a prime location— here, it's easy to reach out and find opportunities such as internships in New York City and research jobs at University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. The easy access to technology and resources is a big plus at NJIT," she said.
She says that NJIT offered her a top-quality education at a great value as well as exposure to a diverse campus community and an emphasis and community service.
"NJIT is a great institution for career-oriented students looking for an education of value in a very diverse arena," she said. The Albert Dorman Honors College gives talented students the opportunity to expand their horizons beyond one's particular major."

Teachers' salaries are the worse among all public sector workers in the country, says the Ashanti Regional Secretary of Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT).
According to Charles Kofi Adum-Nti Achamfour, the Ghanaian teacher has been made worse-off after their migration unto the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS).
He attributes the situation to poor scaling of their market premium, in the implementation of the new pay policy, as well as the non-payment of negotiated entitlements and allowances.
"I think the evaluation was poorly done and there are various aspects of concern to teachers that were not considered in the evaluation process.
"Then during the migration, a lot of our members were worse-off in terms of errors that happened and many of them are still grappling with such problems", he told Luv Fm," he added.
Mr. Achamfuor has been addressing the Quadrennial Delegate's Conference for teachers in the Ejisu-Juaben Municipality of Ashanti.
He observed the implementation of the SSSS has brought in an increment in the salaries of teachers, but does not reflect the current state of affairs in the market.
The Regional GNAT Secretary said there are critical challenges facing teachers that need to be addressed by the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the government.
"Some teachers who were promoted in 2010 had part of the entitlements slashed by months. These are among the issues that keep making the teacher poorer and de-motivated", he stated.

Any chance someone could open KSFF add a fuel truck by the tower and explain what you used to keep it off the taxiways? Thanks,


text: environmentalism Improving River Health With Natural Infrastructure And Incentives By editor • Mar 10, 2014 For decades, the government has enforced regulations to protect and improve water quality. But what about rewarding people for voluntarily managing their land in ways that keep rivers cool and clean? It's an approach that's underway along two Oregon watersheds: the McKenzie River east of Eugene and the Rogue River near Medford. Brenda Peterson: Finding Common Ground By Megan Sukys • Oct 9, 2012 (Photo: Robin Lindsey) It's sometimes difficult to engage in conversation with people whose beliefs are very different from your own. But Brenda Peterson, a West Seattle author and environmentalist, has found a place on a local beach where she can have those conversations. It's a sanctuary for Brenda where she finds connection with creatures of all kinds. And it's the place where she founded the nonprofit Seal Sitters a few years ago. Seal Sitters is a volunteer organization that watches after seal pups that show up on Puget Sound beaches. Brenda Peterson speaks with KUOW's Dave Beck. Her new children's book, based on her experiences with Seal Sitters, is called "Leopard and Silkie." Other stories from KUOW Presents:

With eight faculty members specializing in different areas of the Renaissance and early modern studies, the Renaissance Studies program offers outstanding opportunities for graduate study and research. Our faculty regularly offer graduate seminars on major authors (including Shakespeare, Middleton, and Milton), as well as in all major genres and forms (including drama, lyric, and narrative poetry). Our faculty have won awards from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Humanities Center, and the Folger Shakespeare Library, among others. Publishing with such presses as Oxford, Cambridge, Penn, Palgrave, and Ashgate, the faculty have research strengths in such areas as book history and textual studies, early modern gender and sexuality, ethnicity and critical race studies, and ecocriticism and literature and science.
Graduate students in our program benefit from substantial research, teaching, and publishing opportunities. Students get experience in the classroom and advanced graduate students often have opportunities to teach courses in Shakespeare and other areas of British Literature. Recent students have served as editorial assistants in the award-winning Collected Works of Thomas Middleton, under general editor Gary Taylor, have been awarded internships that allowed them to study performance practices at the Globe Theatre in London, and gained editorial experience as managing editors for the Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies. Students also are able to take classes and conduct research through the interdisciplinary History of Text Technologies program, which offers students excellent training in digital humanities, editorial practice, and book history. Graduate students and faculty also meet monthly as part of the Renaissance Colloquium to workshop articles, papers, and ongoing scholarship.

Art, Technology, and Knowledge: Gutenberg and the Inventions of Print (Elizabeth Spiller): This course offers an introduction to the works and ideas that defined Renaissance literature and does so from the perspective of the scientific inventions and discoveries of the early modern age. We will begin with what, more even than gunpowder or the compass, became the quintessential invention of the Renaissance, the printing press, but our ultimate focus will be on the ways in which knowledge itself became a technology, splitting the divide between the arts that Aristotle had dismissed as knowledge practices and the sciences that had not yet come into being as an intellectual category. Most importantly, though, we will see how the inventions of science and the discovery of facts also led unexpectedly to the creation of fiction. Primary emphasis will be on understanding major writers and thinkers of the period and the intellectual movements and aesthetic traditions with which they are associated.Works by: della Mirandola, Vespucci, More, Shakespeare, Bacon, Galileo, Donne, Jonson, Hobbes, Milton, Hooke, and Cavendish, among others.
Lyric Textuality, Sappho to Donne (Anne Coldiron): The course takes a long view of earlier lyric, considering how textuality and intertextuality operate in the history of Western poetry. Starting with the fragments of papyrus on which Sappho's lyrics are found, ending with the monumental scholarship of the Donne variorum, we?ll consider how lyric poems---poems of the lyre, first---change in taking silent textual forms. Materials and media are studied as essential, transformative, signifying features of the lyric text. Like a more traditional "history of poetry" course, this one will treat historical contexts, subgenres, forms, etc.; unlike a more traditional survey, this one will read poems (1) in facing-page bilingual editions so as to highlight translation as an issue particularly vexed and important for lyric, and (2) in multiple texts, watching for the mischievous play of variants and other effects of transmission. Authors to be read very selectively, for background, in the first five weeks: Sappho, Anacreon, Ovid (from Amores), Catullus, Sulpicia, the trobairritz, Dante, Petrarch, & a few Pléiade poets. Our ten weeks' time with English poets will begin with the polyglot Charles of Orleans, who wrote the first one-author book of lyric in English (c. 1440). We then consider issues of media and textuality in selected works of some earlier Tudor poets (Skelton, Wyatt, Surrey, Gascoigne), some emblematists, a middle-class woman (Isabella Whitney), some sonneteers (Anne Locke, Spenser, Sidney, Shakespeare), and a pair of conceit-stretchers (Herbert, Donne) who have been variably textualized. Theorists, some of whom were also practicing poets, will be read as we go, in apt or jarring juxtapositions with the poems; e.g. Ong, Horace, Dante, Puttenham, Sidney, Daniel, Benjamin, Adorno, Derrida, Culler, Kristeva, Eco, Genette, Bourdieu. In addition to poems and theory, each week includes praxis in poetics (i.e., low-risk practice writing in the genre, mode, and/or forms of one of the week's poets). Non-poets will not be harmed, but it's a poet-friendly course. Wallet-friendly, too: more than half the readings will be on Blackboard or on reserve. Lectures, discussions, praxis, a final exam, an essay aimed at scholarly presentation/publication.
Issues in Literary and Cultural Studies: Shakespeare and the Early Feminists (Celia Daileader): Who's afraid of the big, bad, Bard? Virginia Woolf was not the first author to voice ambivalence toward Shakespeare's canonical status, endowing a fictional "Judith Shakespeare" with equal talent and ambition. In fact, proponents of gender parity both male and female critiqued his sexual politics long before the term "feminist" came into popular usage, and authors of his own age-in revisions and adaptations-sought to give more voice and agency to his heroines. This course will look at writings from the Renaissance through the early twentieth century that manifest resistance to Shakespeare's gender politics-with particular stress on Shakespeare's "sisters" Aphra Behn and Virginia Woolf. Requirements include an article-length research paper, weekly response papers, active class participation, and a conference-style research presentation.
Reading: History, Theory, and Practice (Elizabeth Spiller): This course takes as its point of departure the recognition that reading is an inherently human and a necessarily artificial achievement. Both learned and invented, reading is a historically specific cultural practice and one whose history, as Robert Darnton has argued, is as complex as the history of cognition itself. This course will focus on the history of reading in the early modern period, but it is also structured to provide an introduction to the history and theory of reading as a whole. We will think about how different technologies (the printing press, secretary hand, or new methods of engraving, for instance) enabled new kinds of reading and produced new categories of readers. We will also consider how reading itself crucially constituted a kind of technology and one that was integral to new forms of knowledge and belief in the Renaissance. The first half of the course will be devoted to topics in the history of reading; the second half will be organized as a set of case studies.
Shakespeare: This course offers a survey of the theatrical career and dramatic writings of William Shakespeare, and through the secondary course readings students will gain familiarity with the current state of Shakespeare studies (from book history to historicism to presentism) and be exposed to a range of critical perspectives. The course is intended to help prepare graduate students who might one day teach a Shakespeare course of their own. We will discuss a variety of plays (including comedy, tragedy, history, and tragicomedy), paying close attention to the specific textures of Shakespearean language while exploring broader issues of interpretation. Each play will be considered within the cultural context of its original composition and performance--early modern London, an urban society experiencing economic, political, and religious tensions that troubled and energized Shakespeare's theater. The course will culminate in the completion of a research project.
Studies in the Renaissance: Focus on Milton (Bruce Boehrer): This course will focus upon a close reading of Milton's work in light of such issues as the domestic politics of the early Stuart and Interregnum periods; available ideologies of family structure and gender relations; humanism, euhemerism, and the classical tradition; and the theology of radical Protestantism in the seventeenth century. Most of the course will be devoted to studying the entirety of Paradise Lost; however, we will also consider such briefer works as Comus, Lycidas, and (time permitting) Samson Agonistes. Thomas Middleton: Our Other Shakespeare (Gary Taylor): Last November Oxford University Press published The Collected Works of Thomas Middleton, the result of 20 years of work by 75 scholars in 12 countries. Middleton--the most modern of the early modernists, England's Caravaggio, the first great poet of urban life, the first English "realist", the "bard of sex" (Time Magazine), the most politically subversive writer of his time, who also wrote the greatest box-office hit of early London--is the only English playwright who wrote masterpieces in as many different genres as Shakespeare (including tragedy, comedy, history, and tragicomedy), but unlike Shakespeare he wrote for many different companies and playing spaces, in a very different stylistic and aesthetic register. This course assumes no previous knowledge of Middleton; it will introduce you to a great writer your parents and your high school teachers didn't want you to know about.
Women in Early Print Culture (Anne Coldiron): This course examines first how women are represented in printed works between Caxton's press (1476) and the charter of the Company of Stationers (1557), and second, how they involve themselves more and less directly with the means of production. The thematic focus of the course will be on how the new printers handle questions of sexuality, love, marriage, and gender roles. These questions were clearly important in a rapidly changing society, and the new technology spread texts about gender to a readership that was both expanding and changing in composition. To treat questions of gender in terms of early media means also to explore early print culture more generally; our focus will be on literary culture (that is, literary history, poetics, and aesthetics), and will necessarily involve print literacies, class mobility, internationalism, education, etc.. We'll read secondary work from (e.g.) Johns, Chartier, Darnton, MacKenzie, Hellinga, Driver, McCloud, Ong, and Walter Benjamin. We'll examine the sometimes vivid scholarly disagreements about early media, and apply them to our gender questions. For instance, Eisenstein famously wrote about the press as "agent of change," but we might ask if, where gender is concerned, the new technology simply amplified old ideologies. Early typefaces and mise-en-page imitated manuscript aesthetics, but how well did innovative content about gender issues come across in such visibly nostalgic formats? Since many of the primary works we'll read about and by women have not been canonized, reception theory and the long history of literary institutions will also come into play; we won't ignore the 18-21st centuries' revisions, reappropriations, suppressions of early printed works on gender questions.
Editorial Theory from Jerome to JSTOR (David L. Gants and Gary Taylor): Editorial theory is a version of critical theory that, in addition to asking the fundamental critical questions--what is a text? is there a difference between a text and a work? what is the relationship of the author to the text? how do you determine the value of a text/work/author?--applies or modifies those questions/answers in relation to the practical problems of preserving and transmitting past texts to contemporary readers, often in media or languages different than those in which the text/work was originally composed. Editorial theory therefore affects every text you have ever read, and if you become an important writer it will eventually affect every text you ever write. This course begins with St Jerome, whose edition of the Latin Bible was the basis for European culture for more than a 1000 years, and concludes with the new theoretical and practical issues raised by digital technologies.
Introduction to Humanities Computing (David L. Gants): This class is an introduction to the field of humanities computing, with an emphasis on the techniques, tools and theoretical underpinnings as they apply to the analysis of literary works. While the syllabus includes a substantial amount of reading, the primary pedagogical focus of the course will be hand-on learning. Students will work both in and out of class on a series of exercises designed to familiarize them with: the UNIX operating system and the principles of systems administration; electronic text creation, mark-up and manipulation (including some rudimentary computer language instruction); digital image creation and the basics of graphic design; hypertext and hypermedia publication; digital pedagogies, and on-line discursive communities (such as blogs and Second Life). Work over the semester will lead to a final collaborative project where students will have the opportunity to concentrate on an area of special interest. This course does not presume any prior experience with electronic text, mark-up or UNIX, although students should have some familiarity with at least one operating system and supply their own laptop computer with an ethernet or wireless connection. http://english8.fsu.edu/Courses/ENG5933_S09

Schock Steps it Up to a Harbor 30
Tom could stand up in the 25; the new 30 is for the rest of us.
April 30, 2009
Tom Schock is relatively short, modest, and unassuming, and the sailboats he builds have been in a similar vein...the canting-keel Schock 40 being the only exception I can think of offhand. The W.D. Schock Corporation started in Southern California in 1946, before fiberglass boatbuilding had begun, and has survived nearly every company that flourished in the boom times.
As always, I enjoyed seeing Tom at the recent show in Oakland, where he was showing the Harbor 25 and Harbor 20, and I was reminded that despite appearances, Tom makes an enthusiastic case for his products. The 20-footer is a daysailer and racer that's spread far beyond Newport Harbor, California, the harbor it was originally designed to energize. Tom said he thought selling 15 would be success when he and his brother Steve put the boat together as a Newport Harbor Yacht Club project in 1998. Today, they're building 20 to 30 boats a year and have sold more than 150 on Newport Harbor alone.
The Schocks put the Harbor 25 into their lineup in 2007, extending the concept of a classy, modestly priced daysailer to 25 feet to include a head and pocket-cruising capability. This model has also been successful, with over 30 sold, although they've had to change one innovative aspect...the 2-cycle gas-powered saildrive they first ran it with; now to meet California environmental regulations and increase international acceptance, they switched to a small Yanmar diesel last summer.
Now it's time to move up to a Harbor 30, said Tom, allowing that it should be ready for Strictly Sail Chicago next winter. The boat will share the family Harbor styling, provide a head, like the 25, provide standing headroom (unlike the 25), and accommodations for four.
Looking at the profile, I would say they've done a good job of maintaining the traditional proportions of the Harbor line while still making the headroom significant. They've even fit in an aft double under the cockpit. Here's a link to more info on the boat. Hopefully at this time next year, we can report on how Schock's latest product sails and perhaps even sleeps.

The two-year anniversary of the fastest bull market since the 1950s ended on a down note.
Stocks dipped Wednesday as crude oil prices hovered near $104 a barrel, continuing a three-week run of high prices that economists say could slow the economic recovery.
Stocks hit 12-year lows on March 9, 2009, dragged down by the financial crisis. The S&P 500 index, the benchmark for most U.S. mutual funds, has had a total return of 102 percent since then, including dividends. It was the best two-year period for the index since 1955, according to Standard & Poor's.
The S&P index lost 1.80 points, or 0.1 percent, to close at 1,320.02. The Dow Jones industrial average dipped 1.29, or less than 0.1 percent, to 12,213.09. The Nasdaq composite fell 14.05, or 0.5 percent, to 2,751.72.
The conflict in Libya has raised concerns about a drop in oil production, causing a surge in crude prices. Oil prices have jumped about $20 per barrel since mid-February, when the Libyan uprising started.
Libya accounts for only 2 percent of global oil output. But the worry is that uprisings that have toppled governments in Tunisia and Egypt will spread to larger oil producing countries like Saudi Arabia, the world's largest crude exporter.
IBM Corp. gained 2.2 percent after analysts at Deutsche Bank and other brokerages raised their forecasts for the company's stock price.
Bon-Ton Stores Inc. jumped 10.5 percent. The department store chain said its profit climbed six percent as sales open at least a year improved.
Texas Instruments Inc. dropped 3.1 percent. After the market closed Tuesday, the company narrowed its sales and profit estimates for the current quarter. Demand for chips for televisions and personal computers remained weak.
Declining stocks narrowly outpaced rising ones on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume was 3.7 billion.

Living with a man I've lost all feelings for.... Venting!
I moved in with my boyfriend back in August for the second time after losing a job and not being able to afford renting an apartment. We have alot of problems with children, primarily my daughter who hates him, and because of this and other issues, I have lost all feelings for him and don't want to be intimate with him anymore. I am totally not attracted to him anymore, physically, mentally, or emotionally, and I get repulsed and try to avoid his overtures at all times. He doesn't get it, and is in major denial. I've been so clear in actions and words that I don't want "nookie" anymore and make it like it's a physical problem rather than my repulsion but it's getting quite annoying when he gets to the "I'm so horny, please give me a BJ and I'll leave you alone. When I do attempt to get intimate, I just want him to do it fast, get it over with, and leave me alone. I wonder if I've turned cold and sexless, unable to achieve satisfaction/orgasm at all.
I'm trying to stay put, I pay him rent and help him financially. I can't buy a home until I raise my credit score and I am working on doing that. He is insanely jealous, insecure, untrusting, and thinks every man at work is going to attack me if I talk to them. He is a diabetic and sickly and when his sugar gets high he turns into the incredible hulk which has caused major problems! UGH!
I don't want to be disgusted with men altogether but I really do want to be on my own, independent again and just maybe date a little on a light basis, nothing serious. I'm not good with relationships. Was married once for 10 years, divorced now 8 years and this relationship is the 2nd most serious relationship I've had.
I guess I'm just venting, not sure what advice I'm looking for.. but I'd love to hear from anyone with similar stories or any advice about men like this. Thanks.
I think you need to move. This isn't fair to anyone. Your living with him has to be sending him mixed signals. Continuing to put him through this just so you don't have to move again isn't right.
You are right, and I've been holding on for the wrong reasons... because he loves me so. But it's not enough and I need to repair my relationship with my children first and foremost. Looking at homes to rent and will be moving by the end of April. I'm ready to move on... the albatross is getting heavy and I need to do what I have to do to be happy.
Thanks for all of the advice!
He used to tell me it was my 'wifely duty' to have sex with him. Okay, but he gained so much weight, he'd probably have smushed me-and blamed me because he had premature ejaculation issues.
Look for a roommate situation or something and get out asap. This is not good for you or your daughter... If you have family, maybe try and work something out with them. I went moved back home twice before I met my husband. My son was 10 when he me my husband and we moved in together. You have to get away from this situation or you will never see the light of day because he will keep bringing you down.

Compatible with the following devices: Compex Wireless Usa, Compex Elite, Compex Performance, Compex Edge, Empi Elite
Stock up and save! Save over 30% when you buy packs of 10 electrodes.
Compex electrodes are used during muscle stimulation with Compex devices. The electrodes play a big part in the Compex muscle stimulation session. They are the points where the pulses are transmitted to your motor nerves, and ultimately your muscle fibers. If the Compex electrodes aren't adhering properly, the electrical pulse can't be delivered at the intensity needed to work your muscle at peak effectiveness.
A Compex electrode is coated with a strong medical-grade adhesive, developed to stick to your skin. Used in normal circumstances, a Compex electrode should last 15 to 20 sessions.
You need to replace these muscle stimulation electrodes when any of the following situations arise:
(a) They won't adhere to your skin
(b) When the same intensity setting of the program creates less intense or uncomfortable muscle contractions
(c) A build-up of lint or dust covers the surface.

What happens if you need it right now to save your life and you short stroke it in the heat of the moment?
Um, you release the pressure on the trigger, let it reset, and then continue shooting. Even as a died-in-the-wool S&W guy who noticed the longer trigger pull of the LCR right off the bat, I didn't think it was all that difficult to get used to when I shot one. So long as a person practices enough to be familiar with the gun (as you should with any defensive firearm), I very much doubt that short stroking would be an issue.
As to the OP's situation, once the gun is back from Ruger you will have no greater chance of malfunction with it than a brand-new untested gun. Anything man-made can fail and you were simply unfortunate enough to get a gun with a defective part. Once you get the gun back, simply test it for reliability as you should with any new gun before relying on it. If it proves reliable after Ruger fixes it, then don't worry about it any more. The real lesson to be learned here is the importance of thoroughly testing all guns for reliability before depending upon them to defend your life.

We selected Symbient for their team's depth of experience in engineering fluidic medical devices that interface with complex electromechanical systems.
Vista, CA (PRWEB) March 25, 2014
Symbient Product Development has been selected by Pharmaco-Kinesis Corporation (PKC) to develop a compact, production-ready fluidic platform for their Metronomic Bio-Feedback Pump (MBP).
The MBP is a development-stage implantable device that monitors and delivers metered quantities of chemotherapy drugs using a custom catheter. Its secure wireless connection enables doctors to individualize treatment by adjusting dosage over the course of chemotherapy. This capability allows the patient to be treated from the comfort of their home instead of having to visit a doctor's office for every dose of medication.
Symbient's senior team of mechanical and bio-engineers are developing the design-for-manufacture of an injection-molded platform with fluidic channels, ports, wells and valves that will integrate with PKC's cutting edge bio-electronic system that is the backbone of the MBP.
"We selected Symbient for their team's depth of experience in engineering fluidic medical devices that interface with complex electromechanical systems. I have found Espir Kahatt, principal product development engineer, and his team to be extremely knowledgeable, friendly and a true pleasure to work with," said Dan Murray, senior mechanical design engineer at PKC.
PKC will benefit from Symbient's internal rapid-prototyping capabilities that enable the engineering team to quickly iterate and complete the design. This process will reduce development time of the platform by 75% compared to industry standard practices. Using its in-house injection molding machines, Symbient will manufacture prototypes that replicate production units which PKC can use to commence pre-clinical and clinical trials on an accelerated schedule.
"We are pleased to partner with such a pioneering company as Pharmaco-Kinesis to develop a critical component of a medical device that will transform the treatment of patients with advanced cancer," said Luke Helm, Director of Business Development at Symbient.
About Symbient: Launched in 2004, Symbient Product Development specializes in the design and engineering of precision injection-molded medical devices, usually intended for volume production. Examples include diagnostic cartridges, sample collection devices, drug delivery platforms, implantable devices, clinical tools, and disposables used in complex laboratory automation systems. The company is ISO 13485 certified and provides complete product development services, from concept design to manufacturing transfer, and a'-la-carte services for specifics phases of a project. Its team of mechanical and biomedical engineers, industrial designers, technicians and machinists create rapid prototypes, prototype molds, and fully-functioning prototypes, resulting in designs that are ready for manufacturing.

In his new video for "Drone On," Brooklyn-based DJ Physical Therapy, the "urban cowboy," drives along a grass-lined highway in an all-white cowboy suit (complete with a crisp white Stetson). He is, it seems, in search of his bride, played by Jamie Krasner. His pick-up is littered with cow-print balloons, cans, and a "just married" cardboard sign, and an angsty, ash-ladened cigarette hangs from his left hand. It is a curious, inspired mix of sound and imagery: Euro dance beats and Klausner's ethereal vocals bleeding into drum and bass, accompanying shots of turntables in a wheat field, roller-skating brides, and a cowboy dressed for Saint Tropez. The video, directed by Jake Moore and styled by Akeem Smith, is the first from Physical Therapy's debut EP, Safety Net, and we're happy to offer you an exclusive premiere, which you can stream above.

East Suffolk: Flexible policing praised for "nipping in the bud" spike in crime
PUBLISHED: 11:00 16 January 2014
A flexible approach to policing in east Suffolk has been credited for "nipping in the bud" a spike in crime.
Inspector Nick Aitken, who oversees four local policing teams, said the ability to share resources had been instrumental in combatting a spate of criminal damage in Saxmundham last month.
The ordinarily quiet market town saw its reported crime rate almost double during December with 15 similar offences reported through the month.
Mr Aitken said that by deploying PCSOs from neighbouring teams, such as Framlingham, the problem has since been resolved and a number of arrests made.
"It's about looking at the bigger picture, using resources effectively and not being too precious about borders," he said.
"It makes it a lot easier for us and certainly helped nip it in the bud."
As a result, a 16-year-old boy was charged with two incidents and four other teenagers have been arrested in connection with 38 criminal damage offences in Saxmundham over the past few months.
Three have now been released on bail until February 6 while the fourth is bailed to return to on March 10.

DURHAM, N.C. — Michigan coach John Beilein wanted to load up on Duke forwards Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood, but the Blue Devils' guards helped make the strategy suffer.
Duke junior point guard Quinn Cook exploded for 24 points in the second half to lead the No. 10 Blue Devils to a 79-69 victory over No. 22 Michigan on Tuesday in front of 9,314 fans at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Parker and Hood combined for 29 points for Duke, which improved to 7-2 overall.
Beilein was impressed with his own wing in the second half. Sophomore Caris LeVert scored a team-high 24 points to pace the Wolverines. Sophomore center Mitch McGary added 15 points and 14 rebounds in 27 minutes for Michigan (5-3).

WASHINGTON—The operator of a for-pay Internet site that reproduced significant amounts of pirated computer software pleaded guilty today in federal court, Assistant Attorney General Alice S. Fisher of the Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg of the Eastern District of Virginia, announced today.
Ronnie A. Knott, 36, of Salt Lake City, pleaded guilty in Alexandria, Va., before U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis III to one count of criminal copyright infringement for selling pirated software over the Internet. Knott is scheduled to be sentenced on February 23, 2007, at 9 A.M. before U.S. District Court Judge Gerald Bruce Lee. He faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Beginning in at least early 2005 and continuing until its shutdown by the FBI in May 2006, Knott operated a business called both "Smart PC" and "CDBackups," which provided paid "subscribers" access to infringing copies of software products that were copyrighted by companies such as Adobe Systems Inc., Apple Computer Inc., Microsoft Corporation, and Symantec Corporation. Knott admitted that he received approximately $20,000 in subscription fees for providing this access.
The investigation, which was conducted by agents of the FBI's Washington Field Office, involved an undercover agent who became a subscriber to Knott's service and was able to download more than $30,000 worth of pirated software. Using evidence of the FBI's undercover purchases as probable cause, Knott's operation was taken down in May 2006. Further investigation established that Knott had illegally reproduced copyrighted software with a retail value of nearly $2.5 million.
This case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Jay V. Prabhu, of the Criminal Division's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section.

... Please folks, lets keep it on the units. ...Thomas
With ISO its simple, the ratio in ISO sensitivities corresponds to the ratio in shutter time, assuming the same aperture. [...]Thus I think that simple pruning of the hundred and preserving the same numerical values would have the advantage of being very intuitive to many.
Simply substitute unit abbreviations for zeroes, the same as anywhere else numbers are used. 1K = 1000, 1M = 1,000,000, etc. so that ISO 12500 becomes ISO 12.5K, and so on. Why reinvent the wheel all over again?
Regarding DIN, I think that the disadvantage was the arbitrary choice of 18 degree for what we know as ISO 50, [...]
I also had the thought of a logarithmic scale, like reviving the old German DIN scale. But maybe a simpler modern option would be to talk in stops of speed; say stops over (or under) 100. ISO 102,400 is just +10 over ISO 100.An "ISO" scale that now reads ISO 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 ...could be replaced bya "sensitivity" or "exposure index" scale the reads -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 ...This could simplify reckoning of reciprocal exposures: "I want to close the aperture down by two stops, so have to up the sensitivity by two stops".But Jonathan W. might well be right: the only scale of powers we are likely to see are the slightly ill-fitting powers of 1000: ISO 12K, 24K, 50K, 100K ...I severely doubt that ISO 102,400 is accurate to all digits anyway.P. S. Whoops, I just saw Wayne Fox's post on the same idea. So .... Great suggestion, Wayne!P. S. I would also be happy to dump the strange system of naming sensitivity by the acronym of the organization that publishes some standards for this, amongst thousands of others. For example, "ISO 9000" is not a film speed, it is a quality management standard!
