JIM LEHRER: Finally tonight: a Civil War discovery in rural Georgia. This week, archaeologists unveiled their remnants of a Confederate prison camp. Our story comes from a project we call NewsHour Connect. That's where we showcase the best of public broadcasting from around the country. Rickey Bevington of Georgia Public Broadcasting reports.
RICKEY BEVINGTON: The Bo Ginn National Fish Hatchery is a remote spot deep in the south Georgia woods. Being a federal facility, there are some administrative buildings, uniformed rangers, but also something unexpected.
Running right through the middle of a driveway is a brand-new, eight-foot-high chain-link fence topped by barbed wire. It's protecting one of the most important Civil War finds in decades.
KEVIN CHAPMAN, Georgia Southern University: This may be our only chance, the one last site to tell this story.
RICKEY BEVINGTON: It's the story of Camp Lawton, one of the 36 war prisons run by the Confederacy. Kevin Chapman and Dr. Sue Moore oversee a team of student archaeologists from Georgia Southern University.
During an exploratory dig earlier this year, they discovered the long-lost prison stockade.
KEVIN CHAPMAN: And that was a collective oh, gosh moment, where we all kind of backed up and and stopped and decided how we needed to go forward.
RICKEY BEVINGTON: In November 1864, about 10,000 Northern prisoners would have been living here, behind a solid wall of high tree trunks in an open-air stockade the size of about a dozen football fields. They only had a small nearby creek for sanitation.
Camp Lawton was evacuated after only a few weeks because federal forces were pushing deeper into the state. After that, it was essentially forgotten. The community living here at the time of the Civil War died out after the turn of the century, and, with it, farming on this land. These artifacts have lain untouched for a century-and-a-half, until now.
DR. SUE MOORE, Georgia Southern University: The significance of finding the artifacts in the ground is that you're able to recover not just the artifact, but the information about how the artifact was left.
RICKEY BEVINGTON: European coins show researchers that German and Austrian immigrants of an Ohio regiment lived in the stockade. The coins' location shows where in the stockade they lived. There are buttons, buckles, a tourniquet, jewelry. Another find is unique among Civil War artifacts: a modified white clay pipe.
KEVIN CHAPMAN: It's a short piece of a white clay pipe. It didn't have a bowl on it, but there was a soldier here who had the stem, and he had a need. He liked to smoke. So, he melted down musket balls, and he cast a bowl to replace the bowl that had been lost.
RICKEY BEVINGTON: A Civil War pipe can go for hundreds of dollars on the Internet, and that explains the tight security, to keep out the curious and relic hunters.
Tell me about this really intense security system that you all put in place as soon as you knew what you had found here.
DR. SUE MOORE: The security was put in place essentially to protect the portion of the site that's on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service property, because this was the area where we were finding a lot of the personal artifacts. And we wanted to make sure that they were kept safe.
RICKEY BEVINGTON: There's the barbed wire atop the fence, hidden infrared motion detectors that trip security cameras, and round-the-clock patrols by local police. The artifacts are priceless to Civil War scholarship.
Historian John Derden says POW studies have long focused on Georgia's other, more notorious prison, where 13,000 union men died at Andersonville. At 42 acres, Camp Lawton was twice the size, with a better water supply and living conditions. But Derden says it's only now that that legacy can take hold.
JOHN DERDEN, historian: It might kind of redress the balance in the popular mind that tends to view the Confederate prison system as just terrible, terrible, and the union prisons perhaps were better. But most scholarship, modern scholarship today, essentially has come to the conclusion that POWs were poorly treated, both North and South.
RICKEY BEVINGTON: Historians hope to find untold new sources of information from Camp Lawton. So far, less than 1 percent of the site is excavated, leaving many stories that have yet to be taken from the earth. <-->

A quick primer:
You may know Dan Lyons as Fake Steve Jobs, a parody blog from a few years back that gained fame for being an impeccably-crafted representation of Steve Jobs at his most sarcastic. It was popular because it was genuinely funny and because the (then) mystery author seemed to really get Steve Jobs.
At some point, Dan Lyons was outed as the author, and the blog became less and less about Steve Jobs and more and more about Dan Lyons.
You may know him from his day job as a news man: He's been a senior editor for both Forbes and (currently-ish) Newsweek.
You may also know him as the dickhead curmudgeon who spends most of his public-facing time writing a bitterly sarcastic "get off my lawn" style blog as "realdanlyons" -- a concept which doesn't seem to have caught on quite as much as his time as Fake Steve Jobs.
In no particular order, Dan Lyons hates:
Lately, though, he really hates pro-Apple bloggers, and sometimes he makes time to hate anti-Apple bloggers: The John Grubers, the MG Sieglers, and sometimes even the David Pogues (not a blogger, really, but typically pro-Apple) of the world. 99% of his output over the last several months has been on his personal blog, bitching and moaning about the success, reach, and bias of other bloggers.
A sampling:
But the Mapocalypse does raise a question: If the new maps app is truly this bad, how come none of those glowing first-round reviews made any mention of this fact? Thousands of words were devoted to the thinness, the lightness, the wonderful way it feels when you hold it in your hand, but there was hardly a quibble about maps.
He goes on to call out Walt Mossberg, Scott Stein, David Pogue, Siegler, Gruber, Jim Dalrymple, and Ed Baig.
Perhaps he's got a point. You'd have to read those reviews to find out. The "dickhead curmudgeon" part comes in when he doesn't stop there, even though he never adds any particular insight or evidence to support his claims.
He simply keeps bitching:
The brainwashed brown-noser pens a vicious critique of Apple's new maps app. Apparently he just noticed that the software is terrible:
It's also the kind of thing that an editor at the Times might get pissed about when he sees that everyone is ranting about these messed-up maps and the situation is so bad that someone has even created a Tumblr to mock them and yet his own world-famous and notoriously Apple-conflicted reviewer failed to notice any problem.
And keeps bitching:
The rule of thumb for following Apple is that if you want to know what Apple PR's official line is, you just need to read the top-tier Apple apologists like John Gruber and MG Siegler. They're pretty much operating as unpaid Apple spokesbots. Apple briefs these guys, but instead of having the balls to do it on the record, Apple feeds them some spin with the condition that they will write it up while attributing their info to "sources who are familiar with the situation." It's a bit like being a Kremlinologist and reading Pravda and Izvestia.
And keeps bitching:
Speaking of "blatantly dishonorable," there's also the price gouging, the threats to cut back on retail, the shoddy treatment of workers at Foxconn which is driven by Apple's relentless squeeze on its suppliers, and — finally — the patent trolling. Instead of competing in the marketplace, Apple is using lame patents and deep legal pockets to try to diminish competition.
On this last piece, he finally gets around to making a point about the actual maps (although it's not clear whether he's actually done the leg work as a journalist to buy an iPhone 5 and try them out) rather than complaining about the work of popular bloggers and journalists.
Oddly enough, he pulls out the Foxconn card without acknowledging that it was only a few months ago that he sang a different tune:
Duhigg makes an important point, which is that conditions in China really are much worse than they are here, but that they don't need to be. We in the West could take steps to ensure that Chinese workers were given the same protections as workers here. Ultimately the responsibility lies not with Apple or other consumer electronics companies, but with us.
If only Dan Lyons had a soapbox he could stand on.
If only he worked for an outlet with national reach that could obtain an iPhone 5 and set the record straight, or provide the "balanced" reviews that he so vehemently claims these other bloggers and journalists do not provide.
Imagine if he were the technology editor of said outlet!
Interestingly, Lyons's iPhone 5 "article" -- the first article posted under his name to the Daily Beast (Newsweek) since June -- makes no mention of maps, or problems with maps. It's a weak recap of an event that was covered in more detail on even the smallest of technology blogs.
Indeed, Under Lyons's tenure as "technology editor" of Newsweek, the Innovation section (Technology) as a whole hasn't seen a meaningful update since late June. Unless, of course, you count being demoted as a primary tab down to a "featured" sub-category as a "meaningful update".
If Dan Lyons, technology editor for Newsweek, is so upset about the state of coverage of the maps fiasco, why is there no real (timely) mention of the problem -- let alone investigative reporting that would meet Lyons's standards -- on the site that pays him?
All available evidence points to a bitter old man sitting at home complaining about people who are not doing the work as well as he'd do it, were he doing any actual work. Perhaps he's writing his next novel and is trolling as a hobby -- or perhaps he's just plain jealous.
Either way: He should put up, or shut the fuck up.
In the meantime, Newsweek should hire someone with the ability or the interest to do the job he seems to be skirting.

Final boss
From DoomWiki.org
The final boss (often informally called the Icon of Sin because of the Doom II level of which it is a part) is the final boss of Doom II, in MAP30: Icon of Sin.
It appears as a massive, goat-like biomechanical head on a wall, with an exposed brain that allows it to spawn endless scores of demons. Although only its head is visible, the endgame text indicates that the entity has a gigantic body as well.
In Doom II, the boss is not referred to by any specific name. It is referred to in the Final Doom manual's introductory story as Baphomet. In the text screens of TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment, it is called the demon-spitter and the Gatekeeper respectively. The graphic and sound files refer to it by a series of different names such as "wall demon", "face", "boss brain" or "boss".
A corresponding enemy character in Doom II RPG is called the Icon of Sin, and has a virtual avatar known as VIOS, which has taken control of the UAC's computer systems.
The final boss is not a monster in the technical sense, since it does not count towards the KILLS percentage at the end of a level, and is not affected by the command line parameters that affect standard monsters. Additionally, monsters are a single Doom thing, but the final boss is made up of a number of these:
- Romero's head is the thing that must be destroyed. It starts with 250 hit points, but it is hard to hit due to its location deep in a hole, therefore it can only be damaged and killed by the blast radius of a rocket when playing levels that put the monster in the original location behind the wall. However, modern source ports allow for aiming freely and so can allow direct hits with any weapon.
- A monster spawner in front of the head launches spawn cubes. This is reminiscent of how Satan gives birth to his daughter Sin in John Milton's Paradise Lost in that she is born out of his head (a parthenogenesis originally based on Zeus and his own daughter, Athena).[1]
- Several spawn spots are located around the map. These are where the skull adorned cubes land and spawn a monster.
- Wall textures ZZZFACE1 through ZZZFACE9 are arranged to construct a demon face with a hole into its brain. This is what the player sees as the boss, but it has little to do with its functioning.
Tactical analysis[edit]
It spawns a potentially endless series of monsters of demonic ilk, except for boss monsters (cyberdemons and spiderdemons), lost souls, and all three kinds of possessed humans. See this walkthrough for a gameplay description of the boss in its original level.
- Every monster spawned by the final boss counts towards the player's end-of-level kill percentage. However, they are not counted towards the total amount of monsters in the level, relatively to which the said percentage is calculated; this is also the case with arch-vile resurrections. This can result in a kill count going over 100%, although in the presence of the final boss the result can be far more severe. For example, if the level contains only one monster or none at all (e.g. MAP30 of Doom II), every monster spawned by the final boss adds whole 100% to the kill percentage. To remedy this, certain source ports employ "smart" kill counts, which account for boss spawns and enemy resurrections.
- The sound effects associated with the Icon are:
- DSBOSSIT (wake-up noise)
- DSBOSPIT (cube is fired)
- DSBOSCUB (cube in flight)
- DSTELEPT (cube turning into monster)
- DSBOSPN (Romero's head takes damage)
- DSBOSDTH (Romero's head dies)
- DSBAREXP (explosions just before level ends)
A quote from Robert Prince:
|It was a late night and the walls were shaking at id Software. Why? There could be only one reason -- Romero is in the building! Otherwise, it was a quiet, unassuming office -- better yet, a library. Then things quietened down, and I supposed that Romero had left. In fact, everyone but Romero had left, as I discovered when he came into the room I was using for "sound development." He sat down next to me and said that we needed a sound for the final boss to make when a player enters that level. I said that I had some possibilities roughed out and since he was there we could plug them into the code to see how they'd work. We went into John's office to look at the level (he had the only 21" screen). While he was whizzing around the level, all of a sudden he said, "Wait, what's that?" He had clipping off, which means that he could walk through otherwise "solid" objects. He had walked into the wall where the final boss head was attached. Lo and behold, there inside the brain of the boss was Romero's head on a stick! We both laughed a while and Romero decided that the artists (Adrian Carmack and Kevin Cloud) had put it there as a joke. As it turned out, John Carmack had programmed the code so that Romero's head was the object that a player had to hit in order to kill the boss. And this head was down a shaft inside of the wall so it was normally out of sight. It was at that point that Romero and I decided to record his voice and use it as the final boss sound. We went back into the sound room and John started saying different things in a very pumped up voice. He finally said, "To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero." I took that phrase and put some phasing on it and then reversed it. Shades of the rumors of "Satan" on different pop recordings! We decided not to tell anyone else what it said. We had the fun of seeing the artists' expressions when they first entered the level with this sound going. We made them sweat a long time before we played the phrase in its original form. Can you tell that we always had a great time doing this stuff?
- In Doom II RPG, a similar entity also has its upper body visible, revealing a biomechanical bulky build attached to a wall. A virtual version of it can also be found (known as VIOS) which has arms and goat-like legs.
- Reversed, the DSBOSSIT is a distorted recording of John Romero saying "To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero!".
- The launch sound of the spawn cube (DSBOSPIT) comes from Sound Ideas' General series sound library: Disc 6015, track 28-1: "Fire,Ball - Impact and large fire burst, rumble."[2] It is a very widely used sound effect that has also been used in several movies (such as Dragonheart) television series (for example, ReBoot and Xena: Warrior Princess) and documentaries (like The Hawking Paradox from BBC Horizon).
- The final boss originates from a sketch that Adrian Carmack drew for the original Doom game. The picture made it into the MARBFACE texture, and was later used as the basis for the ultimate opponent in Doom II. This image of a goat circumscribed within a pentagram is a European occult tradition commonly associated with the demon or deity referred to as Baphomet, an archetype of the pagan Horned God.
- The Freedoom equivalent of the DSBOSSIT sound is a reversed and pitch-shifted recording of Freedoom contributor Fredrik Johansson saying "My name is Fredrik Johansson. I come from Sweden".

Mease Dunedin Hospital has earned the prestigious Energy Star for the second consecutive year.
Energy Star is a joint program of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy that is designed to minimize energy consumption, cut costs and reduce impact on the environment through voluntary energy-efficient products and practices. Energy Star's ability to help businesses, organizations and consumers across the country reduce energy consumption and costs in 2010 was estimated at $18 billion.
"Earning a second Energy Star rating is a significant achievement because it validates that these efforts are successful in helping to manage our resources, while also benefiting the environment through better conservation practices," said Lou Galdieri, chief operating officer for Mease Dunedin. "We are committed to continuing these efforts while also maintaining the highest quality of patient care possible."
To earn the honor, Mease Dunedin took the following actions:
• Installed Power Logic electric submeters that allow staff to monitor, analyze and react to energy consumption.
• Created custom programs in the building's automation system to optimize the heating and cooling equipment while providing a comfortable environment.
• Educated team members to be aware and diligent about turning off computers, printers and non-essential equipment when not in use.
• Maintained and improved operation of energy plant equipment including a preventative maintenance program.
Energy Star was introduced by the EPA in 1992 as a voluntary, market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency.

scansite: an online resource for detecting motifs of protein kinase phosphorylation
Scansite was developed by Michael Yaffe, a world reknowned cell signaling (in particular, protein phosphorylation) researcher at MIT. Scansite is an online resource to search for motifs within proteins that are likely to be phosphorylated by specific protein kinases or bind to domains such as SH2 domains, 14-3-3 domains or PDZ domains.
Optimal phosphorylation sites for particular protein Ser/Thr kinases or protein-Tyr kinases are predicted using the matrix of selectivity values for amino acids at each position relative to the phosphorylation site as determined from the oriented peptide library technique described by Songyang et al., 1994, Current Biology 4, 973-982 and Songyang et al., 1995, Nature 373, 536-539.
Optimal binding sites for SH2 domains, PDZ domains, 14-3-3 domains and other domains are determined using the matrix of selectivity values for amino acids at each position relative to an orienting residue as determined by the oriented peptide library technique described in Songyang et al., 1993 Cell 72, 767-778, Songyang et al., 1997 Science 275, 73-77 and Yaffe et al., 1997 Cell 91, 961-971.
The same matrices of selectivity values are used in an approach to provide relative scores of candidate motifs in protein sequences evaluated. Proteins can be scanned by accession number or with an input sequence. One or many proteins can be scanned at a time. Scansite will also allow you to scan the genomes of various species for sequences that are compatible with over 60 protein kinase recognition sites.
If you are interested in or work on protein phosphorylation, check out Scansite!

A non-immersive lens refractive index measurement method based on fiber point-diffraction longitudinal interferometry is presented. The lens imaging process is simplified to the single refraction of the back surface if the object point is located at the vertex of the front surface. The lens refractive index is derived through measuring its thickness, radius of curvature of the back surface, the distance between the object point and the image point. Experiments indicate its accuracy is better than 2.2 × 10−4. Since the front surface is excluded in the imaging process, even an aspherical lens could be accurately measured by this method.

Totally professional. There were problems that was solved and the job is grest
Dennis was great
Selection, professionalism of estimator and installers, quality of work
very professional
Very comfortable working with Dennis.
Quick response and follow-thru in meeting my flooring needs. The representative, Dennis, listened and did not try to up-sell me: but identified my goals and presented flooring options to meet them. Job was completed on time, on budget and installation looks good. Affordable carpet with cushy padding. This project was part of a move-in to a new home during which time I thought a treasured item may have fallen to the floor and inadvertently been carpeted over. I was resigned to its fate: but, as unlikely as this sounds, Dennis offered to return to my home to press the carpet to see if the item could be located. Now that is exceptional customer service! Needless to say, I found the item safely tucked in a closet. (OK... you might have done the same thing after three moves in a year.) Will call them again when I'm ready for the next project.
We were remodeling our bathroom and the schedule depended on getting the shower installed. FCI called us a week before the work was scheduled to ensure there were no delays. Everything was done on time and the product looks great in our bathroom and kitchen. Thank you.
I was limited on what I could choose due to the fact that it was an insurance claim but was very pleased with the product I did choose and the service I received.
We liked Dennis and his approach We like the carpet
Great product installed with no issues

UNC Charlotte is a publicly-supported institution and primarily receives its revenue from the State of NC appropriations in addition to tuition and fees. It is the combination of tuition and fees that primarily supports the operations and expansion of UNC Charlotte. Tuition and fees are approved by the Student Representatives, UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees, and the UNC Board of Governors. Tuition rates are also approved by the NC General Assembly. These fees are mandatory to every student and cannot be waived.
Ed & Tech Fee– This fee is directly related to the infrastructure supporting student technology needs across campus including hardware and software applications, supplies for educational materials, web services, laboratory expenses and equipment, public student computing labs, central email and internet services, training classes and classroom, and central help desk services.
University Fees– This is a consolidated fee that relates to University debt service payments (to construct new facilities and purchase administrative computing systems) and to support other activities/operations including Athletics programs and events, the Health Services Center that serves our student population, Student Activity Center operations, and Cone Center operations. The following fees are consolidated into the General Fees.
- Athletics - Funds intercollegiate athletics, including salaries and maintenance and operation of athletic facilities.
- Health Services - Funds medical services for students, including the salaries, maintenance and operation of student health centers.
- Student Activities - Funds nonacademic student services (student unions, intramural facilities, student organizations, newspapers, yearbooks, and entertainment programs).
- Debt Service - Funds the principal and interest for capital projects. An example for UNC Charlotte includes the Student Union, Football Stadium, and Student Activity Facility.
49er Card Access fee– This fee supports the University's 49er Card operations and support. The ID card is not only used for identification purposes, but also as a library card and as a campus card for dining and vending purchases.
UNC System Student Association Fee– This fee is a University of NC system-wide fee charged to all system students to support the University Of North Carolina Association of Student Governments. This association is a student led advocacy group whose main purpose is to ensure that the benefits of the University of North Carolina are extended to the people of North Carolina, as far as practicable, free of expense.
Food Service Facilities Fee - This fee provides funds to support year round access, maintenance, repairs, and operation of campus dining facilities.
Safety and Security Fee - This fee provides funding for several of the recommendations made by the UNC Board of Governors' 2013-14 UNC [system-wide] Campus Security Initiative report which include, but are not limited to, (1) campus police officer and telecommunicator compensation; (2) highly qualified and trained investigators and hearing officers for reports of serious offenses, such as sexual violence; (3) Title IX and Clery Act compliance coordination; (4) substance abuse counselors, case managers, and/or other counseling staff; and (5) system-level safety and security training, coordination, and audit functions. The fee may also provide funding to meet some additional campus-specific safety and security needs consistent with the report's recommendations. The structure for this fee allows $26 of the $30 collected from each student to fund campus level and shared-services activities, while $4 of the $30 is allocated by the UNC General Administration for system-wide coordination, trainings, and other shared services functions. ($30 is the academic year rate)
Transportation Fee– This fee helps to fund the campus transportation shuttle system which operates during the fall and spring semesters. The shuttle serves to provide the UNC Charlotte campus with efficient and safe campus transportation, reduce vehicular congestion and decrease the demand for proximity parking.
Matriculation Fee- Instead of paying separate fees for such things as new student convocation, commencement, and hardcopy academic transcripts, UNC Charlotte students pay a matriculation fee and receive these and other services at no charge. Students are charged the matriculation fee upon entry into a bacalaureate, graduate certificate/master's, and doctoral program at UNC Charlotte. For more information click here.

Behind the Embassy Door: Canada, Clinton and Quebec
From the moment he became U.S. ambassador to Canada in 1993, James J. Blanchard was determined to make a difference. He succeeded � to hte benefit of both countries.Behind the Embassy Door is an insider�s view of politics and diplomacy at one of the most crucial periods in the history of U.S.-Canada relations. The North American Free Trade Agreement, negotiated against a background of fierce controversy, was agreed to but not yet ratified and a newly elected Liberal government had promised to renegotiate the deal. At the same time, the separatist government in Quebec was pushing the country to the brink of dissolution with a referendum on sovereignty. This book gives fascinating insight into the role of the U.S. ambassador at a time when seemingly minor remarks and gestures could prove decisive. This is an extraordinary account of how international relations are conducted at the highest level. It is also a candid account of the everyday life of an ambassador abroad. Blanchard takes us behind the scenes with a number of Canadian and American politicians and public figures, from Prime Minister Jean Chr�tien to President Clinton, and many of their senior cabinet members and advisers. Blanchard describes the coast-to-coast trip across Canada that he undertook shortly after his arrival. And he tells about visits to Ottawa by the president, Vice-President Gore, Madeleine Albright, and many others. He recalls how the president�s mother charmed a thousand women and how Hillary Clinton skated on the famed Rideau Canal.This book offers an unprecedented and frequently surprising look at the intimate everyday workings of a relationship that is unique among nations.

WEEKLY: Tell us a little bit about the new RACE.
VAN MUNSTER: We've amped things up. The challenges are more organic than ever before. We're not swinging arbitrarily from ropes any more. The contestants have to perform a lot of challenges that are completely inherent to the country and the continent they're operating in, which is cool. I think we've outdone ourselves. It's been a fantastic, creative trip we were on, and the cast has been really good.
WEEKLY: Tell us about the cast.
BVM: It's very diverse. And the outcome is spectacular. There's a lot of humor, and there's a lot of unexpected twists among the contestants. Every time they think that they know where they're going, they always [get lost].
WEEKLY: In addition to the new "YIELD" element, what other changes have you made to the game?
BVM: We have only two Fast Forwards, which makes the Fast Forward much more dramatic. Then also we have changed the non-elimination legs, where people come to the finish line and we say, "Well, you are not going to be eliminated, but we will take all your money from you right now!" Then you get to see how they can make it to the next location without any cash. And just the fact that we're traveling in excess of 70,000 miles really did a number on them, too. It's killer to shoot 13 network shows in 29 days, and then travel 73,000 miles in addition to that. It's insane.
WEEKLY: You're leaving in a few days to begin production on the sixth RACE (scheduled to air this fall). Have you caught up on your sleep since the last one?
BVM: No. I died 30 years ago, but I still keep going (laughs). I want our contestants to have the same feeling. I want to subject them all to this non-stop madness, rushing through all of these crazy places, with no sleep and constant stress, so by the time they come home, they're sitting in their living room asking themselves, "What the f— happened?"

Gamecocks just outside top 10 in preseason poll
Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:34:24 GMT —
COLUMBIA, SC (WACH) - Fresh off the program's first-ever SEC East title the University of South Carolina football team is getting some preseason praise in the polls.
The USA Today Coaches Poll has the Gamecocks just outside the top 10 in the poll released on Thursday. USC settles in at No. 12 in the poll behind Nebraska. The Gamecocks finished the season with a 9-5 record last season and is one of eight SEC programs in the preseason Top 25.
The Gamecocks opened fall practice Wednesday night at the Bluff Road Proving Grounds in helmets and shorts.
I thought it was a pretty nice practice, said coach Steve Spurrier after the workout. All the coaches were really noticing the difference in our team speed. I think our speed has really improved with the addition of a lot of players, as well as the conditioning work of Coach Fitzgerald and the strength coaches this summer. We have a fast team. Hopefully we TMll have a team that can really play well.
South Carolina returns to the practice field Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Coach Spurrier indicated the workouts would remain open to fans until further notice.
What do you think of USC's preseason ranking? Is the team overrated, underrated or about right?

Schumann -- Carnaval, Op. 9
Piano - Advanced
Composed by Robert Schumann. Edited by Maurice Hinson. Masterworks; Piano Collection. Alfred Masterwork Edition. Masterwork; Romantic. Book. 60 pages. Published by Alfred Music (AP.4576).
Item Number: AP.4576
Carnaval is characteristic of Schumann's highly individual youthful romanticism and requires musical maturity for performance. Written for advanced pianists, it is a series of glimpses enveloped in the atmosphere of a masked ball with titles such as "Arlequin," "Papillons," "Sphinxes," "Coquette" and so on. Most of the 23 pieces are based on the notes A-S-C-H, arranged in a succession of melodic and rhythm patterns ("s" is German for E-flat, "h" is German for B-natural). Asch was a Bohemian town where Schumann had a girlfriend. 60 pages.

hey just got done with school and was thinking about becomeing a taxidermist. ive heard people say that i wont make a living and some say that i could do real good. all that aside does one need to have an artistic talent or can pretty much anyone do it with the right schooling? im signed up for taxidermy school and not sure what im getting into but am looking forward to it. i guess im asking anyone about what its like and can anyone do it? thanks
Return to Beginners Category Menu
Not everyone can be a taxidermist. However let me go on to say. Desire is 70% of the battle. If you want to do something bad enough, you can do it. You may have to work harder at learning but in time it can be done. I have taught taxidermy for many years. And have had people that would never be Taxidermists. Not for lack of trying, but mostly because of lack of patients. The come here with wheels of fire, thinking they will impress me straight away. then when they find things difficult, they become frustrated. I had one student that when I was teaching him how to split and thin lips, he became so frustrated he threw the cape down, and walked out. I never saw him again. I wish you all the success in the world. Taxidermy is the most interesting of all professions
I agree with Tenbears, it is not easy. He is very right when he says patience is a huge part of it. I (honestly :) am one of the most patient people you will ever meet, and learning taxidermy pushes me right to the limits of my patience. When you are learning (anything, really), what you think are going to be the simplest tasks take you soooooooooo long. Each step that I do suprises me by taking 5 times-at least-as long as I think it is going to.
That said, there is a HUGE feeling of accomplishment when you complete your work. You wind up with a piece of art that will hopefully last lifetimes. Each new project I do goes a little quicker, and on each project, that little "lightbulb" in your head goes off, and you think, "Yes! That is what they were talking about!"
I love to learn...there is a never ending world of things to learn about Taxidermy, and ways to learn it (books, videos, people, classes, internet, nature)I cannot imagine that you can ever learn it all, and that, to me, is one of the most fascinating things about taxidermy. I should think that you would really have to have lost your "joie d'vive/mojo" for Taxidermy to become stagnant.
So, if you love to learn, if you have the patience of Job, if you love natural beauty and you are an artist at heart, I believe that you cannot find a more rewarding avenue than Taxidermy.
Good luck to you!
Ten Bears is right, but I believe understanding how to run a business is a key step toward success. You can be an awesome artist, but without the basic foundation & knowledge of running a business, your chances of failure will be high.
Kenneth Bauman's articles "How much to stuff that deer head" and "When I retire..." may help.
If you haven't read them you'll find them on www.TaxidermyReference.com
Successful taxidermists are normally successful business owners first.
Just my humble opinion,
...Diligence may be a better word. If you are determined to succeed and keep plugging away, you can be successful. The reason I say this is because I am NOT a very patient person at all. I'd say if you have one or the other, or both you can succeed.
Artistic ability is a plus. But, by paying CLOSE attention to details and acquiring vast quantities of good reference, most anyone can learn taxidermy as long as they also fit the above criteria too...
You will have to be patient. I do taxidermy as a hobby and I am a professional chef. I did my apprentiship in France and have been cooking for 28 years. Like any trade that requires skills and artistic talent you will have to learn the basics first and WILl require a lot of patience. But then later the beauty will be that you will be so confident and so good at your trade that nothing will look too big.
You are young enough to try anything and you will have at least a good idea of what taxidermy is by going to school.
It's funny how I asked myself the same question about being a chef 28 years ago! I wanted to be a taxidermy but we did not have any school at the time!
I got into taxidermy because I thought the hours would be better and also hoped I would make better money. I was wrong on both, however I truly love the creativity that can come from taxidermy. I do miss doing Ice Sculptures and vegetable carvings though.

Margaret Chan knows that things get done when progress is being measured.
Ms. Chan, the director-general of the World Heath Organization, was in Ottawa on Monday to open a meeting of international experts who have been tasked with ensuring that the promises of the last year's G8 Muskoka Initiative on Maternal, Newborn and Child Health are kept.
She sat down with The Globe and Mail to talk about the Canadian initiative and its potential benefits for women and children around the world.
What is your feeling about the impact of the initiative to date?
The millennium development goals (MDGs), especially [those related to child mortality, maternal health, and stopping the spread of HIV, malaria and other diseases]were agreed upon by world leaders in the year 2000. Over the past decade, much work has been done. But it's very clear to us when we look at the progress in the health-related MDGs, the ones that are falling behind are the maternal mortality and the child health.
The G8 leadership took, to me, two very important positions: to refocus the global community's attention on [child mortality and maternal health]but this time they added another very important element, and that is accountability and transparency. Why is it so important? If you don't measure, you don't know if you are making progress. Who are we measuring? We are measuring governments who gave commitments.
It's been a very difficult year economically but governments did make those commitments. Have they been keeping their promises?
Some countries have been doing better than others and Canada is one of the countries who honours their commitments.
Now the U.S. has committed to invest more in the global health initiative. So we are now beginning to see whether they are walking their talk, as [Canada's International Development]Minister [Bev]Oda puts it.
We have been dealing with [HIV]for decades and now we are beginning to see for the first time new infections are coming down, so that's good news. New infections in children over the last decade have decreased by 30 per cent. And in 21 countries that people have been following, for the first time they see less new infections. So why do we see that? It's because, now, 50 per cent of the people in the world who need the medicine get covered. And with treatment it can actually prevent the spread of the disease from the person who is getting treated.
Now, 50 per cent of pregnant women in the world get tested. And when they are positive, they are put on ARV [antiretroviral therapy] When they are put on ARV, the chances of passing the disease to their newborn is much, much, much reduced. So the aspiration of seeing zero infection in our newborns in the next generation is on the horizon, which was unthinkable.
Is that part of the function of the maternal and child health initiative?
Absolutely, because we promote integration of services. Notwithstanding the fact that sometimes in the way we do business, we organize our thinking in terms of disease – this is malaria, this is HIV, this is tuberculosis, and this is antenatal care for women, and this is immunization for children – but when it comes to the clinic level, the facility level, the women want an integrated service.
For us technicians we need to listen to the voices of the women and, of course, to children. The mothers will speak on behalf of the children. What do they need? How can we do it in a cost-effective manner? Efficiency and effectiveness. And this is part of also proving to great countries who kept their promise, we are using your money in a smart way.
Are Canadians using their money in a smart way?
I think the Canadian government's investment in overseas development is smart, investing in the areas with the greatest return on investment. Why do I say that? Women are an important population. Children are the future of every country. If you really want to help the developing countries, this is the best area to help them. Not only are you making their people healthy, but you are also investing in the future of their children. So this is what I call value-added smart investment.
How will we know if countries are living up to their commitments on maternal and child health?
This is exactly what we are doing here at this meeting in Ottawa. We are bringing together people from 21 countries and other development partners and also the UN agencies, civil society, academics and many scientific institutions from Canada to say, 'OK, how are we going to implement the 10 recommendations [of a spring report on the G8 commitment]' One of the recommendations is to measure countries to see if they are keeping promises. If the recommendations are implemented in full, this is another game-changing initiative from the Canadian government.
This interview has been edited and condensed.

A porpoise appeared to get stuck in the Thames near Gravesend on Friday with experts blaming the increased use of sonar technology.
Gravesham Tourism tweeted a picture of the mammal with rare breeds specialist Wayne May believes it to be a female porpoise.
The 42-year-old told News Shopper: "I've done a lot of research and basically they are getting confused.
"It's definitely increased - I got called out 12 times last year for porpoises and only five times the year before.
"People often think they are dolphins but then they turn out to be porpoises.
"They use underwater signals to detect their prey - things like sea bass - and so when military use sonar, these animals get disorientated.
"The more we use echo technology at sea, this does affect their marine environment."
Mr May explained how porpoises are very commonly spotted but he believes rarer creatures are also being baffled by the increased use of technology.
He said: "It is mainly the whales and the dolphins who I think are getting more confused by this technology.
"They can end up dying because they can't survive around here, there isn't enough of their food sources.
"There is not a lot you can do. Often whales end up getting washed up on the shore and dying.
"We had a whale which came through Gravesend a few years ago and it died as it was being transported back to London."
Mr May has worked with animals for more than 20 years and runs a sanctuary in London Road, Dartford.
Sightings across the News Shopper patch
- In June last year Punters in the Sir John Franklin pub in Greenhithe High Street were shocked to discover a porpoise washed up next to a pub.
The dead animal was spotted on the steps to the pub which looks out onto the River Thames.
- A family walking along the Thames were shocked to spot a seal in the water off Morden Wharf in Greenwich in January last year. A month later, video footage revealed the animal playing with the family's pet dog.
- In September 2009 a 28ft young humpback whale was found near the Dartford Crossing and was the first time one has been discovered in the Thames. It is believed to have died from starvation.
- An 18ft northern bottlenose whale was spotted in the Thames in January 2006. It died off Gravesend as rescuers transported it on a barge towards deeper water in the Thames Estuary.

PHILADELPHIA — That hardly looked like Donovan McNabb taking snaps at Lincoln Financial Field, and it had nothing to do with his burgundy-and-gold jersey.
McNabb threw for 125 yards and one touchdown, leading the Redskins to a 17-12 victory over the Eagles on Sunday in his first game against his former team.
Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick was forced out in the first quarter with chest and rib injuries in his first start in front of the hometown crowd. In came Kevin Kolb, who was supposed to be McNabb's successor all along but lost his starting job because he got hurt in Week 1.
So, the McNabb-Vick showdown turned into the McNabb-Kolb matchup everyone originally anticipated. But this one didn't live up to the hype.
On a field where he made so many dynamic plays, McNabb looked more like a game manager than an elite player. A six-time Pro Bowl pick in 11 seasons with the Eagles, McNabb was quiet because Redskins coach Mike Shanahan stuck with a conservative approach.
"You get into a throwing game, especially here, in this environment with the crowd, usually you're in for a long day," Shanahan said. "So you have to establish the run."
Washington had 169 yards rushing, including 55 by Clinton Portis before he left with a groin injury. Ryan Torain had 70 yards rushing and one TD. McNabb threw just 19 passes, completing eight with one interception.
The only stat that matters is the win.
"The relief I got was that this is over, that the whole hoopla and coming back to Philadelphia is over," McNabb said.
McNabb led the Eagles to five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl before being traded in April, paving the way for Kolb to be the starter.
But Kolb sustained a concussion against Green Bay, and Vick played so well he forced coach Andy Reid to change his mind and keep him in.
Vick, who did not speak to the media, is scheduled for an MRI exam today. He got hurt on a 23-yard run that was negated by a holding penalty.
Kolb finished 22-of-35 for 201 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

LONDON (Oct. 10)
Greville Janner, member of Parliament, charged today that Moscow activist Vladimir Slepak had been "tortured" by subjection to "callous and inhuman" treatment while serving a 15-day sentence for "obstruction." Reporting details of a telephone conversation with Slepak, Janner said he would seek the aid of Foreign Secretary Sir Alec Douglas-Home, the International Red Cross, the United Nations Human Rights Commission and Amnesty International "in the hope that when the nature of this sort of torture is revealed to the world, Soviet authorities will be shamed into discontinuing its use."
Slepak, who was arrested Sept. 19 during a hunger strike to protest the new emigration fees, said he was first kept in a cell at the police station for three days without bed or blanket, Janner reported. Then, he said, the activist was taken to Metroska Yeshena prison and kept in an enclosure where, according to Slepak, "there was no room to sit down, let alone lie down" and he "could not even lean against the wall because the walls were covered with spikes and nails protruding from the cement."
Slepak described this enclosure as "a box of one meter by half a meter," which is only 3.3 feet by 1.6 feet. The activist said further that during four subsequent days in an unheated windowless cell during "zero" weather, "my family were not permitted to bring warm clothing." He spent eight days in another cell, he said, receiving hot food "only every other day."
Meanwhile, Soviet Jewish sources reported that Prof. Herman Branover of Riga, the prominent Orthodox Jewish scientist, has been granted an exit visa after several rejections, but has been assessed 30,000 rubles ($37,500) for it under the new fee plan. Another Riga activist, Mikhail Ulman, whose family is already in Israel, has been billed 8000 rubles ($10,000).
(In New York, sources said Simon and Yevgenia Bernstein of Kiev have been assessed 16,000 rubles ($20,000) each for visas. Upon payment they will be allowed to go to Israel with Mrs. Bernstein's 10-year-old daughter by a former marriage, Irena. The child's father, David Bat, had sued the Bernsteins to prevent Irena from being taken out of the USSR. There was no explanation of why the Bernsteins have been allowed to leave before settlement of the case.
(New York sources also reported that according to Kiev Jews there has been "absolutely no letup" in the imposition of the new exit fees, despite some reports to that effect. The sources added that a number of Soviet Jews have been refused visas in recent days.)

April 30, 1983 marks the day Thin Lizzy broke up their original lineup that featured late frontman Phil Lynott. The band had already passed its mid-1970s peak with classic hits like "Whiskey in the Jar", "The Boys Are Back in Town" and "Jailbreak".
The band's downward spiral and eventual demise in the early 1980s show the typical signs of decay: unfortunate drug problems, solo projects, declining record sales. It was unfortunate that the same typical problems befell Thin Lizzy, one of the few classic rock bands of the 1970s that can claim to be trailblazers with their dueling lead guitars and Lynott, a black Irishman playing bass, as the lead vocalist.
Luckily for fans who set out to see the band live in 1983, they played out one last UK tour before breaking up on August 28, 1983. The band would reunite in 1996 as something of a tribute to Lynott, who died in 1986, but it certainly wasn't the same. They eventually retired the name Thin Lizzy for good in late 2012.
The long reunion period for Thin Lizzy still did nothing to take away from the slew of great tunes Lynott and the original lineup churned out in their prime. We will always have those to enjoy.

Born in Uganda to Indian parents, Bhimji left for Britain in the early 1970s to escape the brutal regime of Idi Amin. This complex cultural history cannot help but heavily influence her work, and partly explains her passionate focus on themes of loss, pain, and human displacement.
The exhibition opens with some of Bhimji's earlier work, a collection of photographs from her series, 'Love'. Taken on her visits back to Uganda, the photographs capture with vivid and harsh intensity the scenes of decay and abandonment she finds there. In one, an enormous chandelier lies disused, dominating the tiny room it now inhabits as the bright light refracting through its glass hints at the awe it would have once inspired. In another, a family home, bathed in warm sunlight, sits derelict and empty, poignant due to the obvious, aching absence of the family who once lived there. This idea, of places now empty where there once was such a strong human presence, echoes throughout the collection, from the mountain of abandoned paperwork that fills up one image, each file the ghost of a person now forgotten, to the mysterious bag of hypodermic syringes that invades and taints the image of an otherwise barren, natural scene. It is with great talent that Bhimji manages to somehow capture the intense beauty in such desolate and emotive moments.
The emotive power and haunting beauty is undeniable
The climax of the exhibition, the greatly anticipated 'Yellow Patch', results from Bhimji's journey further into her own past, to India, the home of her parents. In my eyes it was far less successful. Where 'Love' was subtle yet expressive, the film installation seemed simultaneously painfully obvious and frustratingly abstract. Repetitive close up shots of derelict buildings and abandoned objects gained little from the disjointed sounds that accompanied them, and offered none of the personality and the evidence of humanity that her earlier photographs captured so well. Brief moments of beauty or interest, such as the looming wreck of an unfinished ship, were utterly desensitised by the slow and passive movement of the camera that panned across them. On some intellectual level, I was intrigued by some of the more unusual images, and I appreciated the occasional contrast between the bustling movement captured in the audio against the total stillness of the visual. But I was utterly unable to connect emotionally with the installation. I found myself yearning for some kind of narrative to pull me through it, a connecting thread that I sensed was there but could not cling on to as image after image slid before my eyes. Perhaps I'm simply not emotionally intelligent enough to personally respond to such a restrained piece – but if that's the case, then is it really good art?
I found myself similarly unappreciative of the two other smaller collections on display, 'Cleaning the Garden' and 'She Loved to Breathe – Pure Silence'. 'Cleaning the Garden', one of Bhimji's earlier collections, apparently contrasting English and Spanish traditions of formal gardening, seemed to me to have no strong central theme or message, providing aesthetically pleasing but ultimately impersonal photographs. Meanwhile, 'She Loved to Breathe' came across as uncharacteristically unsubtle, with an arguably unnecessary addition of chilli and turmeric scattered on the floor beneath what on their own were powerful and cleverly composed images, abstractly referring to the trauma of Asian immigrant women in the UK forced to submit to virginity tests in the 1970s.
Despite these criticisms, I'd still recommend the exhibition, even if only for 'Love'. The emotive power and haunting beauty of some of that collection is undeniable, and as for the others... Well, perhaps I just didn't 'get' them.
Zarina Bhimji at the Whitechapel Gallery until March 9

While maintaining Sorel's iconic look and waterproof performance, they created sleeker styles for women that would look as appropriate on a city street as they would in a ski lodge. To announce the step in a more fashionable direction, agency Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners (Sausalito, California) created these print ads to run in Vogue during the fall and winter. The ads juxtapose the wilderness, traditionally associated with Sorel, and the urban landscape, that will be the stomping ground for the next generation of Sorels. The ads were just one part of an integrated sponsorship with Vogue that also included an in-store event with Nordstrom, a Sorel-specific "60 Seconds to Chic" video segment on vogue.tv and an online Vogue pop-up shop.

BEIJING – Rising tensions over North Korea's planned rocket launch next week are expected to dominate the agenda when Foreign Minister Koichiro Genba meets with his Chinese and South Korean counterparts Sunday in China.
Tokyo, Beijing and Seoul likely will agree to continue calling on Pyongyang to show restraint up to the very last minute, but will also discuss coordination with other countries if the launch goes ahead.
They remain cautious about stronger action, however, mindful that when the U.N. Security Council condemned a 2009 rocket launch by the North, it responded by conducting a nuclear test and pulling out of six-nation talks on denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.
To complicate matters further, some analysts are speculating that Japan and South Korea could find themselves at odds with China — a major benefactor of North Korea — over how to deal with the rocket launch, given Beijing's previous reluctance to condemn Pyongyang at the Security Council.
North Korea appears determined to proceed with the launch of what it claims is an earth observation satellite between April 12 and 16.
During the trilateral talks Sunday in the eastern Chinese city of Ningbo, Genba and South Korea's foreign minister, Kim Sung Hwan, are expected to urge China to increase its efforts to prevent the launch.
Following a March 29 meeting in Beijing with Wu Dawei, China's representative for Korean Peninsula affairs, Shinsuke Sugiyama, director general of the Foreign Ministry's Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau, said Japan will keep strongly urging North Korea to exercise self-restraint.
He also called on China to take similar action.
But Sugiyama declined to say whether Beijing views Pyongyang's rocket launch as violating Security Council resolutions slapped on the North, including Resolution 1874 that bans Pyongyang from conducting any launch using ballistic missile technology.
Chinese analysts say that while Beijing is aware the launch would violate Resolution 1874, it will not condemn it in public to avoid provoking Pyongyang.
"China believes that if North Korea launches a satellite for whatever reason, it is in violation of Security Council Resolution 1874," said Shi Yinhong, director of the Center for American Studies at Renmin University of China in Beijing.
"We have worries and concerns," Shi said in a recent interview.
"But we are not in the same position as the United States, Japan, South Korea and Russia, who can publicly declare that North Korea is in violation of the resolution," Shi said.
Citing "warmer ties" between China and North Korea since 2009 and Beijing's desire to maintain stability in its neighbor, Shi voiced doubts that China would agree to condemn the launch or tighten sanctions on Pyongyang if the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries referred the case to the Security Council.
China's influence over the North is limited in any event, experts say, especially over the rocket launch.
The move is intended as a demonstration of North Korea's strength and scientific progress, as well as a celebration to mark the centennial of state founder Kim Il Sung's birth and the new regime of Kim Jong Un.
North Korea claims the planned satellite launch is for the peaceful development and use of space, arguing that is a legitimate and universally recognized right of every sovereign state.
But Tokyo, Washington and Seoul suspect this is just cover to test long-range ballistic missile technologies.
Military experts say similar technologies can be applied to ICBMs to provide a delivery system for a nuclear weapon, should the North ever manage to produce nuclear warheads.
"Kim Jong Un has domestic factors (to consider). You have to understand that," Shi said. "Otherwise it is difficult to interpret what happened in just two weeks" between a deal the North struck with the United States in late February and its announcement of a rocket launch.
Washington argues the launch will jeopardize the deal, under which Pyongyang would implement a moratorium on nuclear tests, long-range missile launches and uranium enrichment in exchange for 240,000 tons of U.S. food aid.
The Choson Sinbo newspaper, printed by the pro-North General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon), suggested Wednesday that Pyongyang may even carry out a third nuclear test depending on the international community's response to the planned rocket launch.
GSDF to lock and load
In an unprecedented move, Ground Self-Defense Force units will carry sidearms and rifles when guarding a Patriot antimissile battery deployed in advance of North Korea's planned rocket launch next week, according to senior Defense Ministry officials.
It will be the first time Self-Defense Forces personnel have carried loaded arms outside their bases in Japan while functioning as security guards.
The order applies to GSDF personnel guarding the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 interceptor deployed on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa Prefecture.
The officials said the ministry will allow the GSDF to carry weapons because security at the site is low compared with existing SDF bases.
The other Patriot batteries deployed for the North Korean launch are at SDF facilities.

In yesterday's New York Times' Modern Love essay, the author is a newly separated woman whose husband had an affair by way of the Craigslist Casual Encounters section. So, the woman decides to post her own ad (who can blame her?).
What follows is a pretty relatable foray into the world of Casual Encounters by someone who is a bit more buttoned-up than the usual posters. I don't mean that in a bad way — it's just that Casual Encounters isn't for everybody, and exploring the world can be an eye-opening and thoughtful experience if you're someone who isn't after what the site is strictly offering, which is to say, sex.
In college, for some reason, my friends and I would frequently find ourselves posting ads on Craigslist Casual Encounters, "as a joke." The joke part was that none of us had any intention of actually meeting up with someone. The attention and curiosity, the excitement of opening up they emails as the poured in? That was all real.
We'd first create a silly email address on yahoo or hotmail, and then post what seemed to us to be an absurd listing in places very specific to our school: the campus library, a certain dorm, etc.
Then, we'd all sit at a computer, giggling and waiting for the answers to start rolling in, which they always did, even at 2 in the morning on a Tuesday night. We'd shriek over the lewd photos, and write back saucy messages, giggling "oh my God!" the whole time.
But then, inevitably, we'd get hooked — on the guy who wrote back to our impossibly ridiculous message, on the guy who seemed normal, on the guy who we hypothesized was a professor at the school. Like the author of the Modern Love essay, we learned it was easy to delude yourself into thinking it was a friendly email conversation this guy was after, and not something more.
But in the end, the guy would give up, or we would forget, and lose the password to the email address, and the adventure would be over.
Because Craigslist is great for, well, casual encounters.
But if you're a buttoned-up girl looking for something a little more meaningful, you've got to look somewhere else.

Heading into the final inning Tuesday night, Denton starting pitcher Roman Arnold took on the mindset of a closer. He put the first six innings behind him and concentrated on the task at hand.
Arnold had only allowed one run and struck out three in six innings, but in the seventh, he ratcheted up his focus and struck out the side to secure the Broncos' second District 5-4A victory of the season, 6-1 over Fort Worth Brewer at Denton High School.
"Once we got the momentum going and we got the bats going, everything just comes," Arnold said. "I started shaky and I was trying to get adjusted to the mound. My curveball was working pretty well. It went along with my fastball. My splitter was there when I needed it."
The Bears (11-15, 3-8 district) jumped on Arnold early, as Dilon Scott's RBI single drove home Kevin Leis, who was hit by a pitch.
From there, Arnold held the Bears scoreless with the Broncos' defense providing some crucial inning-ending double plays along the way.
"It took him a couple innings to get loosened up," Denton head coach Glen Harrison said. "He kind of looked shaky those first couple innings, but he settled down a little bit and got in his groove. He threw strikes and hit his spots. Tonight, what was different about our other starts, we were able to put together some hits. We were able to capitalize on some things which gave him the runs he needed. It was a total team effort tonight."
Mark Johnson's second home run of the season evened the game at 1-1 in the second inning, but it was in the fifth inning when the Broncos' offense really started to roll.
Josh Boring led off the inning with an infield hit. Malik Minter followed with a single to left field which gave Dolan Nicholson the opportunity to lay down a sacrifice bunt. Nicholson's bunt advanced the runners to second and third base to set up John Collins for the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly.
With two outs, the Broncos (5-18, 2-9) strung together hit after hit for a total of seven in the inning. Dakota Soward gave the Broncos a 3-1 lead with his RBI single to center field. Arnold followed suit with an RBI single down the first-base line to put Denton up 4-1.
After a Dylan Tekell single to center, Johnson ripped a double to center field to give Denton a 5-1 advantage. As the ninth batter to bat in the inning, Josh Chavez capped off the offensive outburst with an RBI single to left field, putting the Broncos up 6-1.
"Those were the two-out runs that we haven't had all year," Arnold said. "It's just awesome to see all these guys come together and hit together. It was great to see."
Following a sixth inning where he worked around a hit-by-pitch and a single, Arnold took care of the bottom of the Bears' lineup in the seventh.
"He got stronger as the game progressed and we told him before he went out to go right at them," Harrison said. "I think he pitched 67 percent strikes, and anytime you're up in the 60s or lower 70s, you have a great chance to win."

Flags replaced on Brooklyn Bridge after white-washing
BROOKLYN (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Old Glory is once again flying over the Brooklyn Bridge one day after two flags were replaced with ones that had been white-washed.
White flags are international symbols of surrender.
They were put up sometime overnight Tuesday despite police cars parked on either side of the bridge and several cameras monitored 24-7 by police.
Several people were spotted on the bridge around 3am, but no one noticed the flag change until 5am.
Police say while there's concern about how the prank was carried out.
There does not seem to be a connection to terrorism.

Picture: Guns N' Roses On Monday, Oct. 29, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas and Clark County will declare Paradise Road to be known...
Former GUNS N' ROSES star Matt Sorum has jetted off to Japan to witness the annual dolphin kill in Tajii and protest the barbaric practice of spearing the creatures after they're herded into a fishing cove.
The drummer joined conservationist Ric O'Barry, who featured in Academy Award-winning 2009 film The Cove, and other activists in a bid to persuade local fishermen from giving up their traditional cull.
Sorum tells Billboard.com, "Like a bad nightmare, I'm watching it almost like a twilight zone, surreal, looking into my eyes in complete disbelief - what's going on in front of me."
The rock star is hoping to stage a concert in Tokyo to promote the message of those trying to stop the dolphin hunt.

Lake County Ohio GenWeb
Some of our county residents were unable provide for themselves financially (paupers). The state, in 1805, passed legislation patterned after England's Poor Laws, to be administered by the "Overseers of the Poor" appointed by the township trustees. In 1816 the state permitted the counties to establish Poor Houses for care of the indigent of the county. This was later expanded to include the permanently disabled. These establishments were designated "County Poor House" until 1850, when the state changed their designation to "County Infirmary"; it was not until 1919 that they became "County Home".
Originally, the county commissioners appointed a seven man board of directors, reduced to three in 1831. The board was elected by popular vote for three year terms in 1865, and in 1913 the commissioners took over the responsibilities of the board.
The board of directors appointed the superintendent, who in turn appointed a matron and other employees, It was also the superintendent's responsibility to keep record of all of the inmates; it is these records which are provided here.
In 1852, the county commissioners purchased a farm of some 116 acres from the Pettingel family for $4000. The farm buildings were used to house the inmates. The earliest admissions recorded are on 22 July 1852. A contract for the present building was let in 1878 (although most sources say 1867) for $30,000. A fire escape was added in 1898.
In 1897, a "cottage hospital" was added at a cost of $1421.95; in 1924, the commissioners permitted the Home to send inmates to Lake County Memorial if they could not be adequately treated at the Home's hospital.
It appears that the superintendents were trying to organize these records in some manner. There are records from 1852-1856 on pages 1 & 2, 11 '11b' & 12, 22 & 23, 31, 41-43, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91, 101, 111, and 121. Then the records start again on page 3, and continue more or less in date order through the book. There are some exceptions:
There may be multiple entries for the same inmate, years apart, on the same page.
There are three pages of burials from 1856-1862 (probably another attempt at organizing the volume).
This volume is essentially in date order.
This volume starts with four pages of persons who died during this period, but were admitted earlier. Yet another attempt at ordering these records. The remainder of the volume is in date order.
The first two volumes had Date and Information columns. There are many more columns in this volume. Name, Sex, Age, Color, Admitted, Native of, Received From, Discharged, Readmitted, Died, Where Buried, Grave Number, and History/Remarks. The use of multiple date fields reduced the need for separate entries for admission, discharge, etc.

Dating Don'ts: How NOT To Handle An Age Difference
In my twenties, I dated a guy who was 12 years older than me. In my thirties, I went in the other direction, dating a dude 11 years my junior. (Don't you dare call me a cougar!) Although both ended rather badly, I feel like that while the gaping age difference didn't directly cause either relationship's demise, it certainly didn't help. Mostly because I wasn't very graceful about handling it.
So, learn from my mistakes. Whichever way your May/December relationship skews, there are certain pitfalls you should do your best to avoid.
"1. Stay away from cute but ultimately disparaging nicknames.
2. Constant reminders of the age difference can be entertaining, but they can pass easily into the realm of creepy. "How could you not know who David Cassidy is?" is one thing. "I was having sex while you were in kindergarten" is kind of gross.
3. Don't assume older is wiser. I made this mistake with my much older boyfriend. I thought he was the smartest guy I'd ever met. He agreed wholeheartedly. Turned out, we were both wrong. "I sometimes felt overshadowed by him, and his stature, and fame," Missy says of her 14-years-older ex-mentor/boyfriend. "But he acted more adolescent than I did much of the time. Sometimes, I felt like the old one." I hear ya', sister. My elder ex hadn't filed taxes ever. When he got caught, he had his bank account seized and wages garnished. Smooth move, idiot.
4. Then again, sometimes older is wiser. Genevieve has been dating her decade-younger girlfriend for a few years, and their main conflicts come not in the bedroom but in the kitchen. "I have ten years more cooking experience, and the youngster need to get out of my way when I'm making dinner," she snaps, annoyed by the previous night's gnocchi disaster.
5. Some behaviors come with an expiration date. As my friend Boris informed me, "Crazy in a young girl is cuter than with an 'older,' or more age-appropriate, I should say, gal." Ben saw the bloom fall off his much younger rose. "I grew tired of being with a 24-year-old self-described artist who was really just avoiding work," he says. "Being older meant I could suss out the difference between artistic notions and, well, laziness."
6. Prepare yourself to feel like an alien upon meeting their friends and family. My older boyfriend's guy friends were fine with me (go figure), but most of his female friends gave me, and him, the hairy eyeball. Even though I wasn't exactly a teenager, I felt like a dumb, young piece in their presence. With the younger boyfriend, I had to contend with his buddies who yammered on about college and getting waaasted on frat-boy beverages like Jagermeister. It's a toss-up which was worse.
While there are plenty of happy couples with decades between them (like Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, and their sweet, young second spouses), there are plenty more who never bridge that gap (Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer, to name but one). Here's hoping you learn from my mistakes.

DTH Van Der Merwe today urged Glasgow to use their 1872 Cup double success over Edinburgh as the launch pad for a concerted PRO12 play-off push.
Warriors recorded a first double over their capital rivals since campaign 2009/10, with Saturday's three-try romp at Murrayfield securing the oldest club trophy for the fourth time on the bounce.
Van der Merwe became Glasgow's leading try scorer in pro-league rugby with a double in the first leg, taking his tally to 22, one better than Thom Evans.
But now, with Italian cracks Treviso coming to Scotstoun on Friday night, the Warriors' Canadian wing says it is vital that Glasgow continue to build momentum.
He said: "To do the double over Edinburgh is not something that happens every year. I think that was only the second time in the last 10 years or so.
But what is absolutely vital is that we build on it.
"By winning home and away against Edinburgh we have put to bed a four-game losing run.
"We have climbed back into the play-off places and are very well placed to kick-on.
"However, if you want to be involved at the business end of the season, you need to take care of business at home and we need to beat Treviso on Friday, make no mistake."
The Scotstoun try king is expecting a very different game against the stubborn Italians.
He said: "Whereas Edinburgh play a fast, off-loading game and really use the width of Murrayfield well, we know that Treviso will be playing the traditional forwards dominated Italian game.
"So up front it is going to be tough.
"Our forwards have been playing really well as a unit and we are confident we will get the quality of ball in the backs to hurt them."

90 of VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock
Tonight we feature Sammy Hagar -- the total rocker -- on '80s at 8.
A lot of hits in the 80's for this artist.
Feast your eyes on Jessica Hahn, yeah baby!
Crazy, Wild, Successful
A band that made the 80's a great era of music
It was definitely a series of singles that made this band from San Fransisco gain popularity in the 1980's.
Tonight's 80's @ 8 Feature Video is important for 3 reasons tonight. First, Back In The Highlife was huge hit in the 80's. Secondly, it's from birthday boy Steve Winwood who celebrates his 64th tomorrow. And third, because the NBA playoffs are in full swing...
Throughout music history, there have been stories of bands that recorded songs they never thought would be hits. "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds is one of those songs...
What makes "Patience" really cool from Guns N' Roses is there are only 3 instruments used...all acoustic guitars. This isn't true if you've ever seen this song performed live by GNR, as the drums and keyboard are used along with electric guitars...
