In the latest and perhaps most astonishing display of the tar sands industry's attacks on science and our democracy, the government of Alberta has made plans to initiate a large-scale wolf slaughter to provide cover for the destruction wrought by the industrialization of the boreal forest ecosystem.
In the coming years, an anticipated 6,000 wolves will be gunned down from helicopters above, or killed by poison strychnine bait planted deep in the forest. Biologists and other experts say the cull is misguided, and that their studies have been ignored or suppressed. Worse, they warn that although the government is framing the wolf cull as a temporary measure, it has no foreseeable end.
The Alberta government has already initiated the wolf cull in regions of Alberta heavily affected by industrial development. In the Little Smoky region, an area heavily affected by the forestry, oil and gas industries and just a few hundred kilometeres away from the tar sands region, a broad wolf cull has already begun, claiming the lives of more than 500 wolves.
Recently the Alberta government proposed a plan to open this brutal form of 'wildlife management' to other regions, suggesting an extensive and costly cull in place of more responsible industrial development.
This is clear evidence of the fact that Alberta's tar sands oil is unquestionably conflict oil, despite the propaganda spouted by the "ethical oil" deception campaign. Aside from its disruptive affects on wildlife, tar sands oil is dirty, carbon intensive and energy inefficient from cradle to grave.
And that's without mentioning the role the tar sands boom has played in Canada's slide from climate leader to key villain on the international stage. Beyond its environmental consequences, tar sands extraction has negatively affected local tourism and recreation-based economies, impacted public health and torn at the rich fabric of cultural diversity and pride among Albertans and all Canadians.
Behind the Harper administration's unbounded drive to drown Canada's reputation in tar sands oil pollution lies the political corruption characteristic of the classic petro-state. Free speech is being oppressed, while respected members of the scientific community claim they are being muzzled, ignored and intimidated.
Conservation and environmental groups are being falsely attacked as 'radical ideologues' and 'saboteurs'. Neighbors are pitted against each other while important decisions about the future prosperity of all Canadians are rigged to favor the interests of multinational oil companies and foreign investors.
The wolf cull is ostensibly designed to protect northern Alberta's woodland caribou, a species that in recent years has become critically threatened. But scientists have ridiculed the plan, saying this sort of 'wildlife management' turns the wolf into an innocent scapegoat, while the real culprit – the province's aggressive timber, oil and gas development – is spared any real scrutiny or accountability.
According to this strategy, caribou and wolf alike fall prey to another kind of predator: multinational corporations.
The National Wildlife Federation launched a campaign against the wolf cull last week, noting that the Keystone XL pipeline, if eventually built, "would amount to an American seal of approval for the strychnine-poisoning of Alberta's wolves."
At the risk of potentially permanent impacts on important Alberta wildlife species, extractive industries are spearheading an unscientific effort to further tamper with nature, targeting Alberta's wolves for declining woodland caribou health. In reality, scientists have demonstrated that habitat destruction and industrialization are the real threats to the caribou and the entire ecosystem. This classic case of misguided 'wildlife management' is meant to obscure irresponsible industrial development, not to protect iconic Canadian wild species.

Sadly, Alberta's history of covering over regrettable and irresponsible wildlife management runs about as far back as its history of industrial development – a correlation all too evident in the recent caribou recovery charade.
The Caribou 'Recovery' Backstory
Caribou numbers have been in decline in the province since the early 1960s, although knowledge of their diminishment dates back to the 1920s. But it took until 2001 - after nearly two decades of prodding by the province's scientists - for the Alberta government's Endangered Species Conservation Committee (ESCC) to designate the woodland caribou a 'threatened species.' The designation, long avoided by the government, invokes a host of legal obligations, most notably, to the province's Wildlife Act and the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA).
Despite its name, the ESCC amounts to little more than an industrial development club, and it is directly responsible for delays in critical caribou protections. The ESCC is an initiative of the Government of Alberta's Ministry of Sustainable Resource Development (SRD), and has a short list of extractive industrial members including the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, two representatives from Alberta Forest Products Association, Alberta Fish and Game Association, Alberta Irrigation Projects Association and the Western Stock Growers' Association.
The ESCC currently refuses to demote caribou to a critically endangered status despite encouragement from leading scientists, and accusations that it is stalling critical protections intended by the Wildlife Act. The Alberta Wilderness Association, one of the key environmental bodies fighting to preserve Alberta's caribou and halt the needless killing of wolves, has accused the ESCC of protecting industry interests, citing this as the cause behind the ESCC's continuous failure to act.
After the ESCC hesitantly listed the caribou species as threatened (a less formidable title than endangered), the Alberta Woodland Caribou Recovery Team was formed. By 2004 the team had developed a thorough working plan to recover caribou populations, making recommendations that covered all sides of the caribou issue, from protecting habitat to minimizing human activity. And each of the team's recommendations were adopted – but with one surprising exception.
The Alberta government refused to consent to a key recommendation for "a moratorium of resource development allocations in the range areas of caribou populations at immediate risk of extirpation." This recommendation isn't asking a lot: just the halt of mineral and timber allocations in specific regions where the caribou were facing complete desolation. But Alberta's leaders refused to tolerate any setbacks to forestry or oil and gas development.
Industry Takeover
The recovery team was unceremoniously disbanded the following year. The dismissal of the team - and its recommendations - while at odds with the intended purpose of the recovery plan, might best be explained by the presence of some powerful industry voices at the strategy table: Alberta Energy and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), Canada's largest contingent of petroleum lobbyists. Representing CAPP's interests on the recovery team were Devon Resources and Talisman Energy.
But nothing explains that twist in the story better than Alberta's staunch fidelity to continued industrial development. And nothing stands to threaten that blind committment more than a band of respected scientists officially recommending a moratorium on certain activities.
Since 2004, Alberta has made no progress on the issue – the tar sands expansion continues with reckless speed while caribou populations continue to decline.
Alberta's refusal to consider limiting tar sands expansion – even where caribou herds are facing imminent extirpation (localized extinction) – has led to a wholly unscientific alternative: a concerted effort to shift blame onto the wolves.
In the wake of the recovery team's dispersal, the Alberta government launched a new official 'multi-stakeholder' body tasked with overseeing the province's Caribou Recovery Strategy: the Alberta Caribou Committee. Then Minister of Sustainable Resource Development, pro-hunt David Coutts, formed the ACC to take over the responsibilities of the Recovery Team.
Science Under Attack
The Alberta Caribou Committee (ACC) describes itself as a "community of Government, Industrial, and Academic partners" working to "integrate industrial activities in northern Alberta with the conservation of caribou and caribou habitat."
This proposed 'integration' of conservation and industrial activities, however, means that independent scientific research is directed by heavy-handed industrial interests and a political agenda.
Internationally renowned biologist Paul Paquet describes the shared interest of industry and government in Alberta as a threat to scientific integrity.
"There's a real lack of independence there and there isn't even independence of most of the government scientists. Most are in a position where they have to represent a provincial concern rather than a scientific one or they're compromised in some other way," Paquet told DeSmogBlog. "Its unfortunate."
Scientist have found themselves fighting for caribou preservation in an impossible set of circumstances, where industry refuses to slow the pace of timber and tar sands development, and the government facilitates this growth in any way possible.
But perhaps that has something to do with the composition of the ACC.
Who Calls the Shots?
The Alberta Caribou Committee is so heavily dominated by timber, oil and gas interests, their public list of members reads like an industry convention brochure:
Take a look at the Alberta Caribou Committee's website list of sponsoring 'partners':
Notice an overwhelming number of oil and gas and forestry interests entrusted with this 'wildlife recovery' effort?
The list of 'partner' funders of this organization includes, among funding members: EnCana, Canadian Natural, Suncor, and Husky Energy. Energy companies interested in becoming a 'contributing partner' are directed to contact a representative from TransCanada Pipelines.
Recommendations made by the ACC are done so under the direction of a governance board, also stacked in favor of industry and government interests. The board reports to the Minister of SRD, Frank Oberle. From 1988 until 2004, Oberle worked as a management forester and senior forestry advisor for Daishowa-Marubeni International Ltd., one of the industry members of the ACC. Currently Oberle is an MLA from the Peace River region of Alberta - a constituency heavily involved with the tar sands industry, with a bad caribou track record.
With such close steps between industry and the caribou recovery strategy, it's as if industry interests are both calling the shots and pulling the trigger.
This wolf cull seems designed as a concerted effort - at the provincial and federal level - to conceal the cumulative social and environmental impacts of rapid tar sands expansion, keeping the decision-making power in the hands of a small group of industry and government representatives with an embedded industrial agenda.
It appears the government and industry are willing to export Canada's natural resources at whatever cost to our society - and it looks like wolves and caribou just got added to that list of expenses.
The question is, are we willing to pay the steep price of our health and heritage to supply polluting fuels to other countries who don't always share our principles of democracy?
The public comment period surrounding the proposed caribou recovery plan is set to close February 22nd.

Systematic Discrimination Against First Nations
I came across this and it smacks of Unethical behavior.
Our previous PM Paul Martin worked very hard for Canada's First Nations peoples. He backed the Kelowna Accord http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelowna_Accord , and currently he's running the Martin Aboriginal Initiative http://mai-iam.ca/ out of his own pocket.
In contrast Harper has labeled First Nations, "Adversaries", and is planning to ram rod a pipe line through their lands no matter what.
Just so I understand Ethical Oil.. We're not supposed to buy it from unethical countries… but we're allowed to sell it to them…
and Systematically Discriminating our Adversarial Aboriginals by forcing an oil pipe accross their lands as is considered Ethical.

Great Post
Look at all those yummy links. Great post Carol. Thx for using my photos.
Sad story. I'm letting my sadness turn to outrage…
Rally the troops. Let's take a stand! :)

It's not just industry and government
Immoral, unethical, and a crime against nature.
Wildlife "management' is a farce.
The wolf kill defies the science.
If government scientists and wildlife officers had any integrity, they would resign en masse.
The corruption extends beyond industry and government to the scientific community itself.
Independent university scientists co-operate with the government on wolf control:
"Senseless slaughter of wolves"
The irony is that wolf culls don't even work.
The wolves just up their reproduction rates in balance with available resources.
Killing wolves and clearcuts increases the deer population, which outcompetes caribou.
How do these people look themselves in the mirror?

I've been out of the loop
I've been out of the loop lately and back trying to get caught up.
Another amazing story, Carol!! Kudos to you.
Yes, oilman, I think you've got the gist of ethical oil. It's okay to produce tar sands under unethical conditions as long as we agree with the premise that Canada is the 'boy scout' of the world and would never in a million gazillion years ever do anything to hurt the environment or treat people unfairly.
I'm not sure if I quite follow the logic of the story though. Wolves need to be killed because the tar sands are negatively affecting caribou heards? And since wolves prey on caribou, the government is worried about the caribou herds, but not the wolves? Why? Since when does the government care about any wildlife? Why doesn't the government just kill all the caribou and all the wolves and any other creatures that get in the way of the tar sands and be done with it?
AnOilMan replied on Permalink
Well… the oil sands are essentially a pit mine the size of Florida. They aren't doing it all at once, but piecemeal. The result is declining territory for the Caribou.
Declining territory for Caribou = declining numbers of Caribou.
Solution? Kill those dastardly wolves who eat Caribou.

Robert Brustein has a lot of nerve, which is almost a good thing. "The English Channel" isn't the most successful comic riff on the Great Shakes' friendships and careers, but it sustains enough forward motion (for a while) to propel its audience past any unflattering comparisons to "Shakespeare in Love," and into a story about inspiration garnished with a murder subplot. Brustein breaks out the gags as soon as he can, but his repertoire is so limited that the 105-minute play wears out its welcome after about an hour.
Like Tom Stoppard and John Madden, Brustein fills his play with phrases that everyone around Shakespeare (an enjoyably wide-eyed Stafford Clark-Price) drops at the Bard's feet, only to have him snatch them up and jam them into a poem or play.
Stoppard confidently smuggled these references into his screenplay without drawing attention to them, but Brustein is concerned we won't understand how clever he is, so instead of say, 50 Shakespeare jokes, we get one Shakespeare joke, 50 times: Will rushing back and forth to his desk to take a note every time somebody mentions his too, too solid flesh or a local beauty with hair like black wires, Emilia (Lori Gardner).
Soon, Emilia and Will's solid flesh are better acquainted, courtesy of Kit Marlowe (Sean Dugan), Will's chief competitor and confidant, who has also stolen Will's randy 19-year-old patron Henry Wriothesley (Brian Robert Burns). So far, so good, except for the weird brand of foot-stamping, hair-tossing Carson Kressley affectation forced into the play by Burns and, one must assume, director Daniela Varon.
Whether or not New York auds need flashing neon lights reading "GAY" over a play's homosexual characters, the only way this could possibly look appropriate would be in a restoration comedy, for which this is about 70 years early.
In fact, Varon has gone to great lengths to sexualize the play, including suggestive finger-poking, fondling of imaginary scrota and dry humping by nearly all the characters. Brustein's dialogue is plenty overheated all by itself, and it would have helped the play immeasurably if Varon had guided her actors to max out on deadpan. Some players, like Marlowe, are given a little gravity by Laura Crow's costumes, while Clark-Price must suffer a codpiece that makes him look like a marsupial.
The play's saving grace is Dugan, who wanders around the stage claiming booze, sex and loyal friendship as his inalienable rights. You get the sense the barmaid keeps giving him ale just to see what he'll do with it. He starts off the proceedings with a bang, appearing posthumously in full stabbed-eye glory as he recites some of his own lines and introduces us to the scene. Sadly, it's the best moment in the show.

How Do You Rate This Anime From All the Other Shows You Saw Before?Post Reply
9.98 can't wait for the next season
Eating Potato
10/10! i really love this show. i think it's halarious,cute, kinda haert warming, and very interesting. i can't wait for the second seasn!!! xDDDDDD
7/10 It's a good show. I like it, but it's not a favorite.
10/10? No F-ing way !!! It's alright so far, I kinda like it and I kinda don't 7.7/10.
There are so many shows out there that rate higher. Fate/ stay night, Gurren Lagann, Fafner, Gundam 00, Elfen Leid. These are examples of 9/10 or 10/10 shows right there. The World God Only Knows isn't even in the same league.
- .2 since the second season seems to prod around less girls and the OP song for the second season does not marvels me much as the oratorio of the 1st season.
(The full version of that OP is pretty absorbing and surprisingly detailed whenever I got on my audio gears)
It seems that this show does well to stay off those on-your-face fan-service cameos and I noticed too how each episode brings the manga back to life with a completeness of its own.
Now the manga turns out to be quite engaging and fun to read too, so here a recommended alternative for those reading mangas like Nar/Ble/FairyTail/The Breaker/etc.
In short, the first season was very good enough to evoke emotions that are relatively unique to each of the girls while Keima's God Mode too is a must seen. Oh well, have fun watching the anime :)
(p/s: the manga was pretty good!)
last man standing
i love it! give it a 9/10! always like harem but this is even better it makes more sense than all the girls loveing him for no reason and we dont have to go through the 5 episode break up/make up scene that a normal harem anime would when the main charecter chooses a girl. besides that the main charecter is awesome and halrious. these arcs are good and calm but trust me people a deeper plot is coming and it will get suspenseful!
Overall I'd say about a 9/10. I've seen my share of harem shows over the years and I have to say if you're going to do that kind of show then this is the way to do it. And I personally like the idea of the girls losing their memory of him after the loose soul has been purged. Otherwise you'd end up with the typical "one guy is simultaneously adored by many girls who all get along with each other and share him with each other happily" kind of thing that just looks too implausible or awkward.
And I like Keima as a male lead better than any of the other ones in typical harem shows, most of whom are just annoyingly whiny and indecisive "nice guy" types. Keima is a schmuck and he knows it and he doesn't apologize for it. It's fun watching him get kicked, punched, and electrocuted as he goes through the conquest.
And @ILJtheFirst: Anime is a medium encompassing a broad range of genre's. Most of the shows you mention appeal to fans of Mecha or gore, and not everybody is into those kinds of shows. To say that only those kinds of anime shows warrant a 9 or 10 rating is flat out narrow minded. No one can truly say one genre is better than all the others, it's just a matter of preference.
Uhmmm, I'd say from a 8-9... it's definitely one of the most creative animes i've seen. if i were one of those girls, id probably have fallen for Keima too. wats not to like about him... VERY GOOD PLOT THO.
8 out of 10.
The 2nd Op isn't as good as the 1st one. The art is somewhat not good at the 1st episode but it got better. The story is great and unlike other harems, the girls of this show have a very good reason to fall for him. He works for them to like him rather than the typical "The guy is nice and the girl just fell for him" plot.
Keima is handsome and cool. I'm a girl so I guess i just wanna say I would have fallen for him, too. XD
I gave 8 cause as the story is good, the girls are still kind of cliche and there were still some drawing flaws(especially the 1st episode).
Overall, I(and my siblings) found this an interesting show and one of the best harem animes out there.
Will I be missed when I'm gone? I wonder...
i give 10 dudes...... he always makes me laugh....god of conquest mode LOL!!!
PFP....I wnt 1
10 Keima is hilarious! and even though in the anime u only see him conquering later in the story it gets wayyyy better
my weakness will not shater my spirit
if its out of 10 i give it 100 this is by far one fo the best animes i have seen and i really hope they make more and i have seen meny meny animes and this is the best

Ubaldo, Yoon throw first 'pen sessions for O's
SARASOTA, Fla. -- New Orioles pitchers Ubaldo Jimenez and Suk-min Yoon each threw their first bullpen sessions in a Baltimore uniform on Thursday morning at the Ed Smith Stadium complex.
"Ubaldo, especially, was anxious to get out there," manager Buck Showalter said of Jimenez, who spent the early part of his day being introduced at a news conference. "He handled himself well, didn't he? Impressive."
Showalter wasn't sure what the next step was for either player, and he would confer with pitching coach Dave Wallace before publicly announcing that. However, he seemed pretty sure that both Jimenez and Yoon wouldn't just jump right in and throw to hitters the next time out.
Showalter also noted that Thursday's practice went particularly crisp and said it was one of the better ones he's had as the Orioles manager. Could there be a little different vibe in the locker room with the recent additions of Yoon and Jimenez?
"Yeah, a little bit," he said. "It's something that you've been in locker rooms for a long time, you know. … You walk through locker rooms many times during a season, you know sometimes you got it going on. There's just a feeling in there. I can't [describe it]."

A new email app will soon be available for the iPhone that wants to change the way we deal with email on our iPhone for the better. The new app created by Orchestra is said to be inspired by the simplicity of the "Clear" to do app and the beautiful interface of the Sparrow email app. The developers are so confident of its success that they have decided to stagger its availability by creating a reservation system where the app will be rolled out to avoid any server meltdowns.
Mailbox is the inbox reinvented for a world on the go. It's how email on the phone should work: Mailbox checks your email from the cloud and delivers it to your phone with lightning-fast speed. A colorful swipe-based UI makes processing a delight. And unique "snooze buttons" let you put off messages until later. Mailbox makes getting to zero—and staying there—a breeze. After you experience a clean inbox, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
The Mailbox app looks like a beautiful way to access and handle your day to day email. It has a very slick user interface and looks like it will be a very popular app. Having said that, in order for any third party email app to be really useful, it would have to become the default email app on the iPhone. There is nothing more frustrating than clicking a link in Safari and the stock app opening when you are using Mailbox or any other third party app. Currently Apple does not allows you to change default email apps but hopefully that may change in the future.
If that doesn't put you off and you want to get access to the staggered roll out of Mailbox as early as possible, you will have to register your iPhone number with the Mailbox team. You will then receive a reservation place and a private code that you will need to access the app when it is available. You shouldn't have to wait too long for that, it should be out in the coming weeks. Mailbox will be a free app but may offer paid premium features in the future.

Welcome Back
In today's post I will be reviewing;
Product Details
- Manufacturer/Brand; Winsor and Newton/ Artists Quality
- Item number; 94376 91740
- RRP at time of writing: £110
Description & Contents
A heavy weight enamelled metal box containing a selection of 16 Artist watercolours. Colour selections vary from box to box
Reason For Buying
Having painted for years with Winsor and Newton Cotman colours which are their student colours, all the book I read recommend using artist quality paint. So I saved up and treated myself to this set. I chose it because given the cost of artist quality paint – I wanted a sturdy box to keep them safe in.
- Artists quality paint is as good as people tell you. It IS worth the investment
- Room for a small brush in the center section of the box
- The center section can be filled with pan paint if you want to extend your colour pallet
- The long 'v' section clip that holds the paint in place is very secure, but can be taken out to replace or add extra colours as needed
- There is a fold over section, which gives you extra mixing space but also keeps a dirty mixing pallet off your paint if you are working on location and haven't time to 'clean up'.
- Great for travelling, very secure lid and the v section clip is very secure to prevent paints moving in the tin.
- Thumb ring at the base of the box
As the title suggests this is a heavy weight box. I found it a bit too heavy to carry around all day, by the time you add in the weight of a sketch book, water bottle, brushes etc. But I do suffer from limited dexterity and I'm sure people without this would not find the weight an issue. I have added extra pains through the centre section and my box now weighs 272 grams with space for one more half pan left.
Build Quality
Superb! A really top quality box, well made and works well doo. Lid is easy to open yet very secure. You can even use the indents in the closed lid for resting your brushes on to dry. When the box is open they become the mixing pallet.
Value for Money
Excellent. The artist quality paint is as good as its reputation suggests. This box is sturdy and look like it will last for many years. Well worth the investment.
Would I buy it Again?
Totally! Highly recommend this set either for yourself or it would also make a wonderful present too.
Summing up
There is a lot to be said for the phrase; 'You get what you pay for'. This set is not cheap, but it is top quality paint in a well made, robust and quality box. There are plastic and lighter weight boxes also available from Winsor and Newton if you want the artist quality paint at a more affordable price. But if you have a special birthday or Christmas is coming, this is a wonderful set to give or receive. One that looks like it will give many years of service. I've had mine 8 years now and it still looks like new.
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon
Billie 🙂

Coming out very soon for multiple console and mobile devices is the first batch of official Star Wars pinball games, one of which is all about Boba Fett. Produced by Zen Studios, here's the scoop:
The Boba Fett pinball table features fast-paced pinball action, and focuses on several major moments in Boba Fett's bounty hunting career as he takes on jobs from two clients: the Galactic Empire and the Hutts. The table would not be complete without a Han Solo in Carbonite spinner and Sarlacc Pit!
Assist Boba Fett in completing two sets of bounties, or table missions, in an effort to gain RESPECT and secure his spot as the most badass bounty hunter in the galaxy. To activate the Galactic Empire bounties, spell out the word EMPIRE by shooting the middle-left orbit. Activate the HUTTS bounties by shooting the sinkhole under the seesaw ramp. Just watch out for the Sarlacc pit!
Polygon had a great write-up, citing the rewrite of Boba Fett canon:
The Boba Fett table, one of three included in the Star Wars Pinball DLC for Zen Pinball 2 and Pinball FX 2, has all the bells and whistles of a real-world table. It also has a few unique interactive elements that are really only possible in a video game; a side-scrolling segment featuring Fett's ship, Slave I, and a "Sharp Shooting" sequence starring Boba himself. There's also an apparent fight between Boba Fett and Darth Vader; something we don't really remember from the films.

Adegboyega "Bo" Oshoniyi (AD-eh-BO-yay-ga O-shah-nee) returns for his fourth season at the helm of the ETSU men's soccer program.
In his third year at ETSU, head coach Oshoniyi led the Bucs to their first-ever regular season title and first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament in 2016. It was Oshoniyi's first time as a head coach to go to the NCAA Tournament, and ETSU claimed one of the 24 at-large bids in the tournament. He guided the Bucs to their second-straight SoCon Championship appearance before falling in penalty kicks to Mercer.
Also, he led the Bucs to their best win in program history as ETSU traveled to Chapel Hill, N.C. and defeated then-No. 1 North Carolina, 1-0, in extra time. He also led the Bucs to their highest-ever RPI ranking of 23rd, which was accomplished at the conclusion of the regular season. ETSU also never dropped out of the top-50 in RPI and spent most of its time in the top-25 ranking.
Oshoniyi guided the Bucs to their first-ever unbeaten season at Summers-Taylor Stadium (7-0-1) as the team went undefeated until they tied 0-0 with Furman. During the 2016 campaign, the Bucs took four ranked teams into overtime including No. 1 North Carolina, No. 12 Kentucky, No. 22 West Virginia and No. 25 Furman. The Blue and Gold received votes in multiple polls throughout the season and finished the year receiving votes in the NSCAA and College Soccer News polls.
ETSU finished the 2016 season 12-5-3 overall and 7-1-2 in SoCon play. The Bucs claimed the second-most wins in a season and had the second-most shutouts in a season with nine. The Bucs also held opponents scoreless in regulation for 704:47 minutes, which is the longest in program history.
During his second year at the helm, Oshoniyi led the Blue and Gold to the SoCon Championship game where they ultimately fell to Furman 1-0. The Bucs had big wins during the 2015 season where they beat nationally ranked Kentucky at home and also completing the upset over the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament UNCG in penalty kicks.
In his first season in 2014, Oshoniyi led the team to a 7-10-1 record. His first career victory came in his first game against William & Mary. The team won 3-2 by scoring three consecutive goals in the game. One of his best wins of the season came against the 2014-15 SoCon tournament champions, Furman Paladins. The Bucs won by a narrow score of 1-0.
In 2015, Oshoniyi coached with the U15 national team as an assistant coach. While working in Florida for several weeks, he coached in three friendly matches at the Premier Sports Complex in Lakewood Ranch. He has been asked to coach for the U18 team for the United States as an assistant, and during the same year, Oshoniyi was a head coach at the MLS Combine.
Oshoniyi, who spent three seasons (2011-13) as an assistant under Coach Bob Warming at Penn State, was named the second head coach in program history on March 27, 2014, succeeding Scott Calabrese following his acceptance of the Florida International head coaching position. Oshoniyi inherits a program which won the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament title and earned its second trip to the NCAA Championships in the past four years (2010, 2013).
At Penn State, Oshoniyi helped the Nittany Lions to back-to-back Big Ten titles, including the program's first regular season Big Ten title in seven years in 2012. The Lions were staunch defensively, allowing just over one goal-per-game during the season as they went unbeaten in their final four regular season conference contests. While in Happy Valley, Oshoniyi's responsibilities included working with goalkeepers and playing a key role in recruiting.
In his first season at Penn State, Oshoniyi helped tutor freshman goalkeeper Andrew Wolverton, the Big Ten leader in goals-against-average and save percentage. Wolverton also became the school's all-time single-season shutout leader with 12 a season ago.
Oshoniyi joined the Penn State staff after serving for two seasons as an assistant coach under Jay Vidovich at Wake Forest. Working primarily with the goalkeepers, he helped lead the ACC power to a total of 25 wins. In his first season at Wake Forest in 2009, the Demon Deacons posted a 17-4-3 record, captured the ACC regular season title, and advanced to the College Cup. Under Oshoniyi's tutelage that season, the Demon Deacon goalkeepers compiled a 0.77 goals against average and registered 10 shutouts.
Prior to his time at Wake Forest, Oshoniyi was an assistant at South Florida for one season. In 2008, the Bulls went 15-5-3, won the program's first BIG EAST tournament title, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championship.
As a collegiate player at Southern Connecticut State University, Oshoniyi was a two-time All-America goalkeeper, leading the Owls to two NCAA Division II National Championships and four straight New England Collegiate Conference titles. The Division II record holder for shutouts in a career with 50, he was named the Final Four Most Valuable Player twice and was honored with the Golden Boot Award, an award presented to the nation's top collegiate goalkeeper, following his senior season. Oshoniyi was inducted into SCSU Hall of Fame in 2009.
After graduation, Oshoniyi embarked on a professional career in the United States that spanned 12 years and included stints with two Major League Soccer teams. Chosen by Columbus in the inaugural MLS draft, he spent the 1996 season with the club, recording the first win in Crew history. Oshoniyi, the first African-American goalkeeper to start a game in the MLS, was also a member of the Kansas City Wizards from 2000-2006, winning two Western Conference titles (2000, 2004) and the MLS Championship in 2000.
He also played professionally with the USL's New York Centaurs (1995), Connecticut Wolves (1997), Charleston Battery (1998), and Atlanta Silverbacks (1999) and trained with Ajax Amsterdam of the Dutch national football league. He was also a member of the U.S. team that competed at the World University Games in 1993 and played with the U.S. National B team in 1994.
Oshoniyi holds a USSF National "A" license and has served as an assistant coach for the U.S. U-17 National Team, as well as a Region I Olympic Development evaluator. A highly sought after clinician, he has also been a staff member for the Kansas City Wizards Soccer Camps along with the SoccerPlus, Star, and No. 1 Goalkeeper Academies. He also previously served as Director of Coaching at Harrisonville Soccer Club in Kansas City and was the head varsity girls coach at Saint Thomas Aquinas High School in Missouri and the boys' varsity assistant at Shelton High School in Connecticut.
Oshoniyi graduated from Southern Connecticut State in 1994 with a degree in marketing, finance and communications. He and his wife, Tippi, have two sons, Xander, 9, and Rennick, 3, and a six-year-old daughter, Londyn.

Summer is just two months off, but over here at Geek Gestalt, with bright sunshine outside (and windows to keep the chilly wind out) it already feels like it's just around the corner.
That's also in large part because I've started the planning for Road Trip 2012, my seventh-annual journey to highlight some of the best destinations around for technology, military, architecture, science, nature, and so on.
For five of the past six years, the project has taken me all around the roads of the United States, giving me the opportunity to visit the Pacific Northwest, the Southwest, the Southeast, the Rocky Mountain region, and the Northeast. Last year, the trip crossed the pond and covered seven countries in Europe.
This year, I'm staying much closer to home; Road Trip 2012 will be taking place mainly in California, with brief forays into Nevada, and possibly Arizona and Oregon.
I've already got a long list of potential destinations, but as I do each year, I wanted to canvas my readers for what I'm sure will be some excellent suggestions of places I never would have thought of myself.
So, if you have an idea for a Road Trip stop, please send it to daniel--dot--terdiman--at--cnet--dot--com. Here's what I'm looking for: A place in California (though probably not in the Bay Area), Nevada, Arizona, or southern Oregon, that would appeal to a national audience and that is highly visual, lending itself to a big photo gallery.
Some things that might work are manufacturing facilities for iconic brands, famous monuments, large-scale works of art or architecture, and famous or important military facilities. Past examples of Road Trip items include a behind-the-scenes look at New York's Grand Central Terminal, the process of printing the next-generation $100 bill at the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, a look inside NORAD's former home at Cheyenne Mountain, behind-the-scenes at Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, the high-tech gear aboard the most advanced submarine on Earth, and so on.
I'd like to reward anyone who comes up with a great idea. So while I do have a long list already of potential destinations, if you send me a suggestion that I haven't already thought of myself, and that I end up adding to my itinerary, I'll send you a gift in exchange.
I hope to hear from you, as I know that many of you have extensive experience traveling the state, and I'd love to be able to benefit from that experience--and share the wealth with my readers. I look forward to hearing from you.

CNN Parrots National Rifle Association Falsehoods On Assault Weapons
A CNN article published yesterday about increased efforts by the National Rifle Association to defeat President Obama credulously echoed false NRA talking points on assault weapons, without noting Mitt Romney's well-documented flip flop on the issue.
The article notes that in responding to a question about assault weapons in Tuesday's presidential debate, Obama mentioned an assault weapons ban. Instead of offering independent reporting on the topic, CNN political director Mark Preston only provided readers with the take of the NRA's chief lobbyist, Chris Cox, on the issue of assault weapons bans:
"Some gun owners took Obama at his word four years ago, when he said he wouldn't take their guns away," said Chris W. Cox, executive director, NRA's Institute for Legislative Action. "So, after years of paying lip service to the Second Amendment, President Obama finally let it slip last night that he supports the most draconian form of gun control - a gun ban."
Preston, however, did not acknowledge that 62 percent of Americans, including 61 percent of Independents and 49 percent of Republicans, favor assault weapons bans. Nor did he mention that President Obama never made a promise to gun owners to not restrict access to assault weapons, as Cox suggested.
Turning to an exchange during Tuesday night's presidential debate where Romney was asked by moderator Candy Crowley about his changing position on assault weapons, Preston served as a stenographer for Romney without noting that the GOP nominee told a distorted version of events concerning his role in banning assault weapons while governor of Massachusetts.
When Romney was asked about assault weapons during the debate, he repeated that he is against instituting any new gun laws.
"I'm not in favor of new pieces of legislation on guns and taking guns away or making certain guns illegal," he said.
When asked why he no longer supports an assault weapons ban after signing one into law as governor of Massachusetts, Romney said the law was a compromise between pro- and anti-gun advocates.
"In my state, the pro-gun folks and the anti-gun folks came together and put together a piece of legislation," Romney said. "And it's referred to as an assault weapon ban, but it had, at the signing of the bill, both the pro-gun and the anti-gun people came together, because it provided opportunities for both that both wanted."
The legislation in question, signed by Romney in July 2004, actually enraged "the pro-gun folks." In a press release titled, "Romney Signs Off On Permanent Assault Weapons Ban," the then-Massachusetts governor described the weapons as "instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people." According to Massachusetts' leading gun advocacy group, Gun Owners Action League (GOAL), Romney told reporters at the signing ceremony that his position on assault weapons was the same as Democratic gun violence prevention stalwarts Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.
GOAL called upon its members to "contact Governor Mitt Romney and Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey and express their outrage with their betrayal of gun owners in Massachusetts."
Romney's version of events, which suggest that his action on assault weapons while governor of Massachusetts was acceptable to state gun advocates, was concocted by the National Rifle Association.
On October 2, the NRA used its media arm, NRA News, to suggest that Romney's gun policies while governor was supported by GOAL. During a September interview, Cox prompted Romney to deny that he actually enacted a permanent assault weapons ban, asking, "As governor, you signed a major bill reforming Massachusetts' gun registration and licensing laws. Some in the media and elsewhere claim this bill was a reauthorization of the semi-auto ban in Massachusetts. What's your response?" In response, Romney did not acknowledge that he signed an assault weapons ban and instead claimed that he was "proud to support legislation that expanded the rights of gun owners" while governor.

Prince Philip Leaves Hospital After Emergency Surgery
Queen Elizabeth's husband, 90, thanked the staff for his "excellent care"
The royal family welcomed Prince Philip home early Tuesday after he spent four nights in the hospital for a heart ailment.
Philip, 90, smiled and waved to bystanders as he was driven out of Papworth Hospital in Cambridge to begin the hour-long car journey to Sandringham House in Norfolk, England.
He apparently walked down from his ward, rather than take an elevator. A Buckingham Palace spokesman said, "On departure, Prince Philip thanked the staff at Papworth for the excellent care he has received during his stay. He is very much looking forward to rejoining his family."
Queen Elizabeth's husband complained of suffering chest pains on Dec. 23 and was airlifted to the hospital, where it was determined he required emergency surgery to insert a coronary stent and relieve a blocked artery.
He missed a three full days of holiday celebrations, including the Christmas Eve gift-giving and dinner, the church service and family lunch on Christmas Day, and the annual pheasant hunt on Monday.
Not that his hospital stay was totally without some Christmas cheer. Over the holiday weekend he was visited by the Queen, as well as by Prince William, Prince Harry and four other grandchildren.

|Tsuchigumo Clan
|(土蜘蛛一族, Tsuchigumo Ichizoku)
|Appears in
|Clan Data
The Tsuchigumo Clan (土蜘蛛一族, Tsuchigumo Ichizoku) is a clan that formed a pact with the Third Hokage during the Third Shinobi World War. The clan's leader at that time, En no Gyōja, developed a technique that could wipe out an entire village. By terms of the pact with the Third Hokage, En no Gyōja declared the technique to be forbidden, in exchange for protection provided by Konoha in times of need.
The clan has a small fort on Mount Katsuragi that is surrounded by a barrier, and a field with many hidden traps. Additionally, they also have their own hidden village.
During the Third Shinobi World War the Tsuchigumo clan was hailed as a powerful and proud clan, because they possessed the powerful Tsuchigumo clan kinjutsu. Although they were often targeted for that reason, leading to many clan members being killed and leaving only few remaining clan members who was capable of using the kinjutsu. After that the clan became weak and En no Gyōja and the village elder had disagreements over the clan's survival. This led to the clan splitting into two groups with one in the Tsuchigumo Village and the other at Mount Katsuragi. Only few opted to follow En no Gyōja to Mount Katsuragi.
- "Tsuchigumo" (土蜘蛛, Literally meaning: Earth Spider) is the name of a mythical Japanese creature that is shaped like a giant spider and has the ability to take on human form. It is sometimes also called yamagumo (山蜘蛛, mountain spider) and is similar to the Ushi-oni. In ancient days, it was also an insult used to call people from local clans that had not sworn allegiance to the Emperor.

Rethinking Risk Assessment in the Postdigital Era
The convergence of postdigital forces such as mobile, cloud and social business requires a new, integrated approach to risk assessment. Consider this scenario: a salesperson is sitting in a coffee shop preparing for a customer meeting. Using her mobile device, she accesses customer data stored on a hosted database. As she sips her coffee and reviews customer files, she casually launches a social media application—one not approved by IT—to check in with her social network and browse some intriguing websites. Suddenly, without realizing it, she opens a malicious link. The data on the mobile device is now compromised. More important, the customer data stored in the cloud and on her company's servers are now also at risk.
"Postdigital forces like mobile, cloud and social business are interacting and converging," says Khalid Wasti, a director with Deloitte & Touche LLP who specializes in enterprise risk. "While this convergence holds the promise of new opportunities for business, it also introduces interrelated risks that may not be effectively managed by existing controls. One user with a mobile device can now expose a company to significant security, reputation and regulatory risk."
Mr. Wasti says that many organizations currently have processes for monitoring security risks associated with a single application or system, such as mobile or cloud. These processes also help gauge the effectiveness of existing security systems and policies in managing those risks. While this approach may help IT identify and address security vulnerabilities in one specific area, in many cases it does not address the unique vulnerabilities that emerge when two or more postdigital systems interact. So, for example, an evaluation of IT systems may not have identified the unauthorized social business browser opening a malicious link on a company cell phone as a vulnerability that could expose confidential cloud-based data to cybertheft or malicious attacks. In fact, the audit may not have even identified the cloud-based data as sensitive information.
"This may present a challenge to CIOs and to the IT audit function," notes Mr. Wasti. "To assess and manage risk effectively in the postdigital era, they will likely need to develop an integrated approach to risk assessment, one that focuses on how mobile, cloud, social business, and other postdigital forces interact with each other, and how that interconnectedness could make sensitive data vulnerable to cybercrime."
One Thing Leads to Another
According to Mr. Wasti, developing and implementing such a postdigital risk management strategy begins with performing a comprehensive assessment of all tools, applications and processes and examining how they are interrelated. "This can help IT understand its potential weaknesses more clearly, and where it currently stands in the risk spectrum," he says.
"For example, consider a retail business that, in an effort to eliminate lines at registers and answer product questions immediately, has decided to provide sales associates with mobile devices to process sales transactions throughout the store. The auditors will need to know what security controls exist on the mobile devices, what types of data are being captured, and what external connections are allowed," explains Mr. Wasti. "Are they using mobile devices, like smartphones and tablets to process credit card transactions? What type of company data can they access? Can they also use these devices to check their personal email accounts, surf the Web or access social media sites? Is the customer information they work with stored in-house or externally in the cloud?"
By answering these and other questions about how data is accessed, organizations' CIOs and their respective IT audit teams can better understand the risks associated with postdigital and other technologies.
Analytics should also play an important role in this process. "Auditors can use analytics to better understand the ever-increasing volume of data that these workers are using. Which elements of this data are the most risky, and which could be the most potentially damaging if compromised?" he adds. "This information can help IT focus its risk management and governance efforts on more critical data and systems."
Moreover, analytics can also help illuminate the different ways this data is being used throughout the enterprise. If, for example, marketing is accessing the same cloud-based customer data as customer service reps on the floor, then this interconnection—along with analysis of the security systems and controls applied to the tools each group deploys—could be factored into the overall risk profile. "In postdigital environments, any risk assessment should be enterprise-wide," says Mr. Wasti. "Focusing on an individual area will not deliver a comprehensive view of the risks IT faces."
Monitoring a Moving Target
Once IT completes its assessment, it can begin creating a road map for managing those risks. "Training may be the most effective IT risk management tool that companies can deploy," he notes. "Even if you develop custom applications or a physical control like blocking a certain website, invariably a new tool will emerge to circumvent your control. CIOs may be able to achieve better risk management outcomes by making sure that users clearly understand all risk and governance policies."
Moreover, an effective postdigital risk road map will be one that adapts to the rapid pace of innovation, and to emerging capabilities. "CIOs who collaborate successfully with audit teams to assess IT risk will likely achieve some level of comfort knowing that they understand the risks they face," says Mr. Wasti, "but any risk environment requires constant monitoring."

The regular season for area teams ends Friday with four games in the Mid-Illini and the final game in the Mid-State 6.
Limestone (23-3, 12-1) hosts Metamora (20-5, 10-3) in a matchup of the top two boys basketball teams in the Mid-Illini, and No. 1 regional seeds.
The Bartonville host already had locked up its first league title in a decade before a 68-56home loss to Dunlap last Saturday. The Rockets are No.10 in the current Class 3A state ranks and are the top seed at the Manual Regional that begins Monday.
Metamora, already assured of second in the M-I, has at least 20 wins for the third time in as many seasons under head coach Danny Grieves. The Redbirds had one 20-win campaign from 1993-2011. They're the top seed as a regional host.
Dunlap (17-12, 7-6) visits Pekin (10-16, 5-8), East Peoria (5-20, 0-13) travels to Morton (12-14, 7-6) and Canton (12-12, 5-8) is at Washington (14-13, 6-7) in other Mid-Illini finales.
Richwoods (13-11, 3-2) visits Peoria High (2-22, 0-5) in the final MS6 game. The host has its fewest wins since the 1943 team finished 2-16. Richwoods is coming off one of its finest performances in a 77-44 win over Notre Dame (16-12, 3-3).
Manual (16-6, 5-1) already had won the MS6 before finishing with one of its most impressive wins, 76-62 at Rock Island on Saturday.
The four Peoria schools will begin play in the Big 12 Conference next season.
Illinois Valley Central (17-10) concluded its independent regular season with a 46-39 loss at East Peoria on Tuesday. IVC next school year will join the Corn Belt Conference for all sports.
BREAK EVEN: Dunlap can finish above .500 in the M-I for the first time with a victory at Pekin.
Dunlap joined the M-I for the 1998-99 season. Its best league finishes were 7-7 in both 2006-07 and '08-09, both under Rick Schertz. "That was a goal we set for ourselves at the beginning of the season and it's within reach," head coach Jeff Barker said.
Pekin won the first meeting, 45-41 at Dunlap.
NUNN HIGHER: Manual senior guard Aaron Nunn was 4-for-6 from the field and 11-for-13 on free throws as part of a career-high 19 points at Rock Island. He's averaging 10.7 points over the last nine games.
"He missed all that time last year and it took him a while to get going," Manual coach Derrick Booth said. "Since then he's been as healthy as a horse and he's playing his best at the right time of the year."
Nunn helped Manual to an 8-0 start last year before he suffered a season-ending knee injury.
STAND ALONE: Limestone's win at Washington last Friday clinched the M-I crown and earned Eddie Mathews his 200th career victory.
It also gave Mathews the distinction of being the only coach with championships in the M-I and MS6.
He came to Limestone after leading Notre Dame to an unbeaten MS6 season in 2010-11.
Mathews had a distinction before last week. He's the only one who's been a head coach in both leagues.
DO IT AGAIN, AGAIN: The game between Morton and East Peoria on Friday will be the first of their two meetings in four days.
The second will be in a regional quarterfinal at Manual on Monday.
Their schedule was similar last season, when EP visited Morton in a regular-season finale, and hosted the Potters an EP Regional quarterfinal.
AROUND THE RIM: Washington freshman guard Devin Whitelow over the last 10 games is 26-for-49 (.531) from the field and averaging 10 points. ... Metamora senior guard Joe Kennell scored a career-high 23 last week in a win over Morton. Over the last six games he's made 32 of 38 free throws and is averaging 14.8 points. He leads area players in assists at 5.6 per game. ... Richwoods senior Marquette Eggleston established career highs for points in consecutive games. The senior forward reached double figures for the first time with 10 in a loss to St. Charles North. He topped that the next time out, with 13 in the win last week over Notre Dame. ... Limestone junior guard Nick Page was 4-for-7 on 3-pointers in the loss to Dunlap. His 15 points was a career high. ... Dunlap senior guard Brett Renner is 7-for-12 on 3s over the last three games. He canned three treys on the way to a career-high 25 points against Limestone. ... East Peoria senior Kieran Buckley is averaging 11.3 points over the last four games. Included was a season-high 17 points in a loss to Limestone. ... Notre Dame junior Pete Hanley scored 13 in a win Saturday at Quincy Notre Dame. It was his highest point total since returning after missing seven games with a knee injury. ... Canton's Quinn Murphy was 5-for-8 on 3s on the way to a career-high 18 points in a win over IVC. ... Morton senior Ian Saathoff is averaging 12.7 points over the last three games. He's made 16 of his last 17 free throw attempts. ... Pekin freshman Mason Carr was 4-for-4 on field goals and scored a career-high 12 in a win last week at East Peoria. ... Central's DeVante Mayes leads area players in 3-point accuracy. The senior guard is 45-for-92 (.489) from beyond the arc. ... IVC junior Mason Schaub leads the Ghosts in assists (3.7 apg.) and is second in scoring (11.0 ppg.)

Easily manageable, cost-effective, and up-to-date… let's be honest, it can be a real struggle sometimes to find the perfect tool for the great scientist of the future. That's why I'd like to explore our newest application, LabCamera (available within the mozaBook software or as a stand-alone solution) and quickly introduce its main modules.
LabCamera is an exploration and data logging laboratory which makes it easy for students and teachers to carry out scientific observations and measurements. You only need a computer, the software, and yes, as the name suggests, a standard webcam. The main strength of the software lies within its simplicity as you can build the best technology ever, if no school can afford or implement it, it will not be much help to students in the long run. That being said, let's take a closer look at some LabCamera features!
1.) Kinematics
To put it simply, graphs are cool and kids love them in Physic lessons, especially if they can get them in real-time. First, take the footage of your webcam or a pre-recorded video, select a couple of objects (colorful balls, toy cars, etc.), then let the Kinematics module track the movement of the object for you. In the final graph that can be exported with one click, students can analyze all the details about the speed or acceleration of the selected object.Be prepared for future conversations at home, like:
"How was school, honey?"
"Nothing special… we just analyzed a horizontal and vertical graph of displacement, velocity and acceleration of some balloons."
2.) Time lapse
Some processes in nature, such as ice melting, can be difficult to observe and even more difficult to successfully track, so the time lapse function can be a lifesaver here. The software takes still shots and stitches these images into a coherent stream of video, while your task is simply to set the playback speed of the video.Of course, time lapse also comes in handy during joyful moments in the kitchen, such as baking the perfect muffin.
3.) Motion cam
With the Motion cam function, students are able to capture intimate moments in nature. The trick is quite simple, yet incredibly effective: the camera records only when it detects movement in front of the device.The benefit? You don't have to wait endless hours in the garden or in the forest for your best hummingbird pal to show up; it spares a lot of time for you and makes it easier to edit and manage your videos for class.
4.) Microscope
Did you know that you can take macro photos with your webcam? This is exactly the feature that the Microscope module was built for, but as always, it's possible to analyze 3rd party images as well. Once you've turned yourself into a professional photographer / scientist, you can learn more about proportions, sizes, and even measurement methodology.In this case, I've just measured the length and area of a sugar molecule in two steps.
5.) Universal logger
The most valuable asset of the Universal logger is that it's possible to log any type of measurement instruments in school or at home. Whether a digital or fluid-based display, the software picks up on the signals of, let's say, a thermometer with the help of the built-in camera and connects it to your computer.
The real fun comes in when you decide to track not one, but three devices at the same time and carry out comparative experiments. All in all, it's definitely a super versatile and helpful tool.
6.) Pathfinder
Your starting lineup is the same as in the previous cases. The webcam is doing the background work, while you're analyzing the results of the experiment. Have you ever tried to see through the European flight radar or the chaos created by a bunch of ants?Here you go, the heat map might just be the perfect solution for class.
7.) Graph challenge
It's an old, but universal truth that kids learn the fastest and the most efficient when they don't even realize they are actually learning. This tool is a great opportunity for students to channel their inner imitation artists as the main rule is to follow the predefined curve, while the software is following your moves.
For exciting presentation videos and further information on the different modules, please visit the LabCamera website or the product info site on mozaWeb where you can find a super helpful user manual as well.
