Teen dies during Australia lifeguard competition
(AP) GOLD COAST, Australia - A 14-year-old boy has died during the Australian lifeguard championships, the second competitor in three years to drown at the beach during the event.
Search teams on Thursday recovered the body of Matthew Barclay, who disappeared on Wednesday afternoon during an under-15 board race. He won two gold medals in the Queensland state junior titles two weeks ago and won last year's prestigious junior Coolangatta Gold event.
Competition was halted following Barclay's disappearance and was scheduled to resume Friday at North Kirra beach, about nine miles south along the Pacific Ocean.
Barclay is the third competitor to die on Kurrawa beach during the championships since 1996.

Middle Teton Climber's Log
patascent - Feb 18, 2007 4:42 am Date Climbed: Jun 29, 2002Middle Teton Glacier
Great steep snow route that takes you to the Southeast couloir and tops out at the notch between the north and south summits. Easy rock to the true summit.
Dan Dalton - Oct 24, 2006 6:33 pm Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2006Couloir Climb
Greatest July 4th ever! After the climb we watched fireworks from the lawn of Snow King. Great couloir climb, learned a lot.
Anneka - Oct 12, 2006 3:27 amSW Couloir
Did this 3 times last summer. My first big mountain, definitely not my last. The first time I puked the whole way up, but summitted anyway! Good walk-up route, but have moved on to bigger and better things.
regolithe - Sep 15, 2006 8:57 amSouthwest Couloir
Great climb. Inspiration for the Grand The following year.

Cool Summit, nice glissade down!
IdaClimber - Jul 10, 2006 9:07 pmFirst Real Mountain
This was my first real mountain climb. I did it in one day, but took enough provisions for three because I thought I might get lost. My pack was so heavy!!!
Indiana Mad-Man - Jul 6, 2006 11:11 pm Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2006Southwest Couloir Climb
A fantastic one day trip to one of the most beautiful locations in the Tetons. Unfortunatly I summited alone as ice about 300 feet from the top turned around my other group members. Incredible views though!
Desert Climber - Mar 14, 2006 6:31 amGreat day on a great mountain
We started out of the trail about 8 and made it to the summit by 2 and spent nearly an hour relaxing and enjoying the view and beautiful day. It was a great day on a great mountain.

With my friend Karl Lainhart. We camped with our wives, Vonda and Tracie (thanks girls!) just above the Meadows at the beginning of the South Fork of Garnet Canyon. While the girls waited at camp, we summited the next day and returned to the Climber's Ranch. It's a long deslolate way to the saddle between the Middle Teton and the South Teton!
Sam Page - Feb 14, 2006 4:26 am5x
I climbed this twice in summer 1993 (via Southwest Couloir) and thrice in spring/summer 1996 via the Glacier Route, Northwest Ice Couloir, and Buckingham Buttress. I climbed the BB in one long day from the Climber's Ranch. Dustin couldn't find one of his rock climbing shoes during his pre-dawn preparation, so he climbed the route in his big old leather boots. He actually took a whipper at one point and was thankful for the single cam he had placed after running it out. Another close call in the Tetons. We made the mistake of napping for an hour on the summit, and felt like crap when we woke up.
Livelife4Summits - Jan 6, 2006 1:38 amRoute Climbed: Southwest Couloir Date Climbed: June 22nd, 2002
Well...this was it, the training climb for the Grand....after a month of laborous duties in the kitchen back in Yellowstone, I finally ventured out into the Tetons....Quite a trip, considering that I was hitchhiking.....4 different cars stopped for me, thank you. A monster truck, a pickup, and some car with a big dog and the the van. In the last car, which was a modified RV Van we almost got killed by this immense rain storm that swepped through the Tetons and this car was gonna give out and the doors were flying open, but then it stopped and the clouds came to pass, just as I made my way towards the trail....Had to spend an extra night in the tent @ Lupine Meadows cause of an awful rain storm, good thing I had enough provisions...I stood on the summit around noon, and quickly made the descent as the approaching thuderstorm was going to hit anything within its range. When it was safe to run, I did, and as thunderbolts were striking within feet of me...I run some more and then I got on my back and slid all the way to the Meadows...what a thrill...3 days in the Tetons, and thank you for stopping and thanks for that food on the way back, this nice guy was willing to share some food with me as he knew I was beat and starved....carry on
SawtoothSean - Dec 30, 2005 9:47 pmRoute Climbed: SE Ridge (Buckingham Ridge)- 5.8 Date Climbed: August 18,2001
John and I made a base camp in the South Fork of Garnet Canyon. From there we headed up to the base of the climb. The first 500 feet or so is easy 5th and 4th class. The climbing is solid after this and has a little of everything (mostly friction and flakes). We reached the South Summit of the Middle, rappelled down and scrambled up the North summit of the Middle Teton. From here we descended down the Class 3 route and scrambled up The South Teton (easy Class 3), then headed back to camp, broke camp and busted out - back to the car by 9pm.
Found lots of goodies on this climb including a vintage ice-ax. Not sure why this route isn't done much because it's pretty good and long (6-10 pitches). Did South Teton this day also

Penelope May and I hiked up the SW Couloir from our car, parked at Lupine Meadows. I took us a little over 11 hours RT. Found a lot of boulder and talus hopping, large ammounts of scree to cross and fairly long distance to the summit. But the views along the way were wonderful.

Cleaning Up a Broken Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb (CFLs)
Responsibly Recycle Your Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs)
CFLs are not collected curbside. Drop off at:
Municipal Locations
- Markham Recycling Depot, 6041 Hwy 7 East
- Unionville Recycling Depot, 137A Main St. Unionville
- Thornhill Recycling Depot, 5 Green Lane
- Milliken Mills Recycling Depot, 7660 Kenndey Rd.

Cleaning Up a Broken Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb (CFLs)
Why is it important to clean up a broken CFL properly?
CFLs and other fluorescent light bulbs contain a small amount of mercury sealed within the glass tubing. When a fluorescent bulb breaks in your home, some of this mercury is released as mercury vapour. To minimize exposure to mercury vapor, follow the recommendations on this page.
If a bulb breaks or comes apart:
- Have all people and pets leave the room.
- Air out the room for 5-10 minutes by opening a window or door to the outdoor environment.
- Shut off the central forced air heating/air-conditioning system, if you have one.
- Collect materials needed to clean up broken bulb:
- stiff paper or cardboard;
- sticky tape;
- damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes (for hard surfaces); and
- a glass jar with a metal lid or a sealable plastic bag.
During Cleanup
- Do not vacuum. Vacuuming could spread mercury-containing powder or mercury vapor. If needed, after most clean up has been completed, use vacuum to clean up broken glass remains.
- Be thorough in collecting broken glass and visible powder. Scoop up glass fragments and powder using stiff paper or cardboard. Use sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small glass fragments and powder. Place the used tape in the glass jar or plastic bag.
- Place cleanup materials in a sealable container.
After Cleanup
- Promptly place all bulb debris and cleanup materials, including vacuum cleaner bags, outdoors in a protected area until materials can be properly disposed of. Avoid leaving any bulb fragments or cleanup materials indoors.
- If practical, continue to air out the room where the bulb was broken and leave the heating/air conditioning system shut off for several hours.
- Take material to one of the following locations:
Other Types of Light Bulbs that Contain Mercury
Fluorescent bulbs:
- Linear, U-tube and circline fluorescent tubes
- Bug zappers
- Tanning bulbs
- Black lights
- Germicidal bulbs
- High output bulbs, and
- Cold-cathode fluorescent bulbs.
High intensity discharge bulbs:
- Metal halide
- Ceramic metal halide
- High pressure sodium, and mercury vapor.

Sunset, Clarksville, TN
When we came out of the mall in Clarksville, TN, last night, this brilliant sunset was painted across the western sky. Everyone was stopping to stare at it, and little children were pointing and chattering.
This image has had no processing except for sizing it down. This is exactly like it came out of the camera.
A few minutes later, as we drove away, most of the lights in the mall and most of the street lights in the area went out. Within 30 seconds or so, the mall lights came back on (from a generator?) but the street lights didn't.

Egypt's Islamist president calls parliamentary elections in April amid turmoil, impasse
- Image 1 of 3
- Image 2 of 3
- Image 3 of 3
CAIRO – Egypt's Islamist president has called parliamentary elections for April in an effort to assuage mounting frustration over continued turmoil on the streets and a political impasse that has gripped the nation.
A decree by President Mohammed Morsi issued late Thursday set the start of a staggered, four-stage voting process for April 27, with the last round to be held in June. The newly elected parliament would then convene for its first session on July 6, the decree said.
Since the 2011 ouster of longtime authoritarian President Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising that was part of the Arab Spring revolts, Egyptians have gone through a series of referendums, presidential and parliamentary elections. The first elected parliament was disbanded by a court order last June and Morsi, the nation's first freely elected president, assumed his post in July.
Morsi and his highly organized Muslim Brotherhood, which was a banned opposition group under Mubarak, emerged from the uprising and the various elections as the country's dominant political group with the largest grass root support.
But the divisions in Egypt have only grown, pitting the Brotherhood and their fundamentalist Islamists allies on one side and the mostly secular, liberal political parties and youth groups on the other.
The opposition accuses Morsi of monopolizing power and going back on campaign promises to have an inclusive government and introduce far reaching reforms. Morsi's supporters say the new government cannot immediately fix years of neglect and poor administration from Mubarak's 29-year rule, and cite the legitimacy of the ballot box in their favor.
The turmoil deepened with the second anniversary of the Jan. 25 uprising when anger spilled out onto the streets and violence again engulfed the nation.
The most recent show of unrest came in the restive city of Port Said, where a general strike entered its six day on Friday. Factory workers, activists and laborers have held street rallies that brought the coastal city on the northern tip of the Suez Canal to a halt, though shipping in the international waterway has not been affected.
Meanwhile, rights groups have complained of widespread police abuse, saying in a joint statement Wednesday that brutality is on the rise in detention centers and at demonstrations. The groups said they hold Morsi responsible for failing to stop such practices, which have claimed 60 lives since the end of January.
For its part, Egypt's powerful military has shown signs of growing impatience with Morsi, issuing thinly veiled threats that it might seize power again as it did after Mubarak stepped down and the army generals took over, remaining in control until Morsi's election.
After several spasms of deadly violence on the streets, a decimated economy and depleted foreign reserves, many hold Morsi responsible for the turmoil.
His critics say he is not much different from Mubarak, pointing to a highly controversial presidential decree from November in which Morsi gave himself near absolute powers. The decree has since been rescinded but Morsi and the Brotherhood in the meantime managed to push through a constitution — drafted by an Islamist-dominated panel — that was approved in a referendum late last year.
According to Thursday's decree, Egypt's 27 provinces will be divided into four groups that will vote separately over two days over a period ending on June 27. This is allegedly to give the more than 50 million voters enough time to participate in the balloting.
Egypt's previous, Islamist-dominated parliament was disbanded on June 14, after the Supreme Constitutional Court ruled on the grounds that a third of the chamber members were elected illegally.
The country's biggest opposition grouping, The National Salvation Front, has said it will not take part in the elections unless Morsi meets their demands to form a national unity government that would guarantee fair and free elections.

Sure thing, my friend, this paragraph here was pretty straight forward, just read it again.
You're hung up on stereotypical views because like most people, you are indoctrinated to perceive the world through nationalist bias. Cultures that have to deal with winter are more compassionate and generally more technologically savy, including Mongolia, China, Japan, Innuit, U.K., and Northern Europe. Winter wouldn't have to be "snow" per se but winter would be defined as a significant period of time each year where exposure to the elements would be fatal. Cultures that only have to worry about miserable rain and lashing themselves down once in a while don't have the same imperative to be any more advanced or more compassionate than they are at aboriginal levels.
This is what separated Rome and China from other empires of the ancient world and why their influence still endures to this day.
Oh, come on out, brother and embrace your assimilation already. 1500 years ago my Germanic and Celtic ancestors weren't much more than savages roaming the dark lands of Europe until we were assimilated by "The Man". You don't see us clutching to Odin and running around the woods painting ourselves Blue and making sacrifices to the trees, anymore, do you?
by Juan Cena » Sat Feb 23, 2013 11:58 pmNiktrist may have a point. Even with all the space alien's help, the white euros still managed to take over those non-white Egyptians, Aztecs, Indians, Etc.
by The Beast » Sun Feb 24, 2013 12:14 am
"Space Aliens" reintroduced the knowledge of civilization to the Sumerians after the great deluges of the last Ice Age wiped out the Pre-Historic Golden Age. That knowledge eventually made it's way to Greece and then Rome.
Rome had Winter, which made them smarter because they had to work harder to implement civilization. Then Rome went on to conquer half the world and leave the rest to China. The Egyptians never recovered from the Deluge while the Aztecs and the Indians were conquered by cultures heavily influenced by Rome.
Don't worry, I can educate anyone, Naicreman. I'd be happy to school you some more.
by Stephen Day » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:12 am
How does this explain the early civilizations in Mesopotamia who certainly didn't have to deal with anything like winter. Rome wouldn't have existed without them. You also seem to be forgeting the Ottoman Empire, as well as all of the great Islamic Empires that preceded the Ottomans, not to mention the Indian Empires.
Or for that matter some of the great African empires that you seem to be just ignoring. After all the man thought to have been the richest man the world has ever known was African, Mansa Musa (literal translation King of Kings, but he best translation is Emporer) Musa I of Mali. After all, any man who can go on a hajj (in 1324) and seriously depress the gold market, and by consequence, the economy of the entire country of Egypt for years just by the shear amount of gold he threw around while passing through was seriously rich.
by Stephen Day » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:17 am
But long before that those non-white Arabs managed to conquer a great deal of white euro territory during a time when they were more advanced technologically than those white euros. And they did it all without having to deal with winter.
Sorry guys, but my main problem with what you're saying is that it's ignoring whole swaths of history, representing more than half the world, just because they don't fit into your theory.

the northernmost portion of china experiences harsh winters. however, the southernmost portion of china is actually very temperate and has more in common with egypt as far as the winters go. should the southern chinese be considered "summer" people messing things up for the more able "winter" people of the north?
in egypt, the deserts become very cold at night. do the egyptians have a "semi-winter" culture because of the harshness of the cold desert nights?
you also singled out northern europe as being special, yet rome itself is located in italy, i.e. in southern europe. how can the culture of the roman people, with a gentler winter, be deemed superior to the survivors of colder winters further north? did the conquered peoples of the north impart culture onto their roman conquerors?
it's the little things like this that keep up me up at night, yet the chilly moonlit air doesn't seem to help me unravel the answers to these mysteries.
by Juan Cena » Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:38 am
Arab science & technology was basically built on the Greek and Roman texts that they translated. And it only went as far as Islam would allow it.
(and why are you making it sound like I was backing Niktrist's stupid argument?)

Only a small part of it was.
Here's a map of the Empire of Mali around the time of Musa I's rule:
You don't get to run a nation that big by basing the entire economy on slavery. Nations that size simply can't run off of one economy sourse. There was much more than that going on. Plus, most of his gold came from the fact that there was a ton of gold in the ground in that area.

So I read through the series from start to finish over the last couple of days and all I can say is...please don't bring her back (as much as I loved her, one of my favourite female chars to date). Throw in the whole "brainwash her to love me" bit and I'll be laughing for a good little while.
Oh yeah, and clearly Shioon's final decision should be with Ji-Nie. That's pretty much it.

I'm not sure what he meant by "getting hard to find traditional tools of the trade"
Everything is done on pencil before scanned and cleaned up or painted on the computer
Even artists at Pixar does that
I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean there is a pencil shortage in Korea, but I'm not sure what he means either.

By traditional tools of the trade I intended to say drawing tools - pencils, paper, ink, etc. - for professional manwha authors...obviously not the little, cheap A4 stencils you can find in any supermarket or whatever, but the real, high-quality materiel for full-time artists. But now that everyone's going the digital way the old dead-tree stuff's flying out of the window along with the other "more traditional tools".
And obviously he isn't using the "draw on paper first, scan it later" approach - he's directly doing it on tablet.

Kay kay, brief summary.
> Sera and Shiwoon take a break from the teaching for a bit
> Sera tells Shiwoon that his mother and girlfriend (probably talking... you know, that girl. I forget her name) are safe.
> Sera says his mother has been promoted to be the manager of a restaurant or something, so the reason why she hasn't been able to answer the phone is because she's busy.
> Sera tells Shiwoon that the teacher to teach him martial arts has arrived.
> Cue old lady and two other women.
> Old lady is Sera's martial arts master or something.
> Old lady's name seems to be Ju-Shil. She's the head of YeWonGwan or some shit.
> Old lady tells Shiwoon that she's not here to teach him actual martial arts, but rather a way to train while being unable to use martial arts.
> It's a sort of image visualization training.
> Not gonna get into the whole details of the thing, since scans can probably explain / translate it better than me.
> After Sera leaves, old lady tells her two minions to... STRIP SHIWOON.
> Asian Kimbo Slice (oh God it feels good to say that name again) and Gyubum don't believe what the head elder dude said.
> Asian Kimbo Slice wonders if Jini and Shiwoon ran away together (like eloping or some shit).
> Some stuff with Jini and that cat. Jini admits that the cat reminds her of a certain someone. By being stubborn and kinda cute.
> No prizes for guessing who the cat reminds her of. I mean, seriously. It's obviously JiGun.
> Old lady is amazed that ShiWoon is able to remain conscious despite what he's going through right now.
> Doctor tells Sera that "that person" has been placed into a room in the hospital.
> Sera asks how "that person" is, the doctor says he can't determine yet.
> Doctor wonders if it's okay not to tell "someone" about this. Since it might be troublesome later.
> Sera says no, not not, Shiwoon is in training. If he falters now then nothing can be achieved.
My guess?
"That person" is Shiwoon's mother, and Sera lied to Shiwoon about her being safe.

For an action series, there's always so much talking and exposition going on it seems and very little action. The series has been going on for near 10 months now and Shioon is JUST starting his "serious" training (I don't count the training with the other guy as real training as it was just him trying to beat the crap out him). Seeing that the mangaka wants 3 parts... I predict this will actually finish sometime in the year 2040.

hmmm the chapter kinda focused on shions mother... as he is worried for her... and at the end Sera talks about keeping it secret for now in order to allow shion train as this would force him to stop or go on a mad rage to the front lines as he is not prepared...
still the condition must be serious as they say... its too early to tell what the condition is
but it mostly is shions mother.... well I throught of Sahae too but well shions mother is the only family he got and it would seriously shake him to the bones if he would lose her...
but still it could be a single connection similar to jinee... losing mother... family... and so each one should be able to support each other in those times... as jinee knows how it feels like to lose someone... and well she too restrained herself to kill shion as she saw the picture of him and his mom...
well most likely shion will be pissed off great time as he learns what happened to his mother (or sahae but well she is just a friend but mom is whole family so more important to him.... so SUC mostly would target shioons mother to shake him up)
and I wouldnt be supprised if he started to "kill" all people from Suc...everyone that joined will be hunter down by him with no excusses as Suc = hurt/killed his friend/mother-family

I don't see what the SUC can gain by attacking Shiion mother, they want him to join their little group after all. The only one that can gain something is Jinie Grandfather if he is thinking about adopting Shiion but that don't work too well with the order to kill given to Jinie.
For Saehe that can be Chang-Ho as revenge for what Shiion has done to him.

It probably is Shioon's mother. How did Sera know about her working life before Shioon did? If she wanted to tell someone other than Shioon about her promotion at work, she would have told Jinie. At least Shioon's mother knows Jinie. There has been nothing to show that Sera has met Shioon's mother before.

I still don't buy it. I could understand if Sera was aware of the fact that Shioon's mother works in a restaurant, but knowing about her fixing to get a promotion sounds like a secret that a person would only tell to someone close.
Shioon doesn't really have any non-Murim friends or family other than his mother or Saehee, so one of them must have been targeted.

last time the glass guy wanted to kill shion and force him to jump off from the rooftop... than he made a proposition... shioon declined.... so maybe its a message to him... if you wont come people close to you will suffer....
so mostly its just his mom that got targeted by Suc as a payback or force him to listen them... becouse they could have killed his mother and not just seriosuly beat her up...
but damn cant even imagine shions anger if he sees his mothers poor state... and learns tha not only she was seriosuly beaten up with lots of internal injuries and broken bones... but even was raped... damn a vulcano will errupt and each Suc will die that will stand in front of shioon... no more mercy just killing spree ^^
sera started the talk about his mother.... and it was her that said that she got better sit at work and mostly has no time to talk.... yet mostly she knew what happened to shioons mother and by saying that she wanted to make him belive that she cant pick up the phone becouse she works really hard.... but in reality she cant pick up the phone becouse she has been beaten up to the point where its hard to tell what her condition is.... so she simpyl cant pick up the phone...

In the third installment of Human Revolution dev diaries, the team focuses in on combat and how players will scout areas, craft a plan of attack, equip the right weapons and augmentations, and then send Adam Jensen into action to clean house. See for yourself below:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is in development for Windows PCs, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The game is set to ship on August 23.
Sharkey says: Just yesterday we heard id Software talk about the arsenal of weapons players will have at their disposal in Rage. Interesting to see how the two development teams are approaching combat in similar yet different ways.

Genomic constitution
Two versions of the N genome which is derived from the Psathyrostachys. It is not apparent why they should be recognized as two separate genera but molecular markers say there is a substantial difference between the two genomes in Leymus and between them and the version in Psathyrostachys.
Distinguishing features
Plants perennial, usually rhizomatous, growing in alkaline or saline soils. Spikelets usually 2 or more per nodes, sometimes only one in inland species. Glumes membranous and lanceolate or horn-like to subulate. Glumes and lemmas muticous or shortly (to 7 mm) awned.
Plants perennial, usually rhizomatous, sometimes forming clumps. Culms 10-350 cm tall.
Leaf blades 1-20 mm wide, usually involute, usally prominently ribbed on the upper surface.
Inflorescence usually spikelike, sometimes paniculate, 1.5-35 cm long, rachis tough, terminating in a ; middle internodes 3.5-15 mm long; disarticulation below the florets.
Spikelets 1-8 per node, tangential to the rachis when solitary, 8-35 mm long, with 2-12 florets, middle spikelets half to almost 4 times as long as the adjacent internodes.
Glumes usually equal to subequal, sometimes highly reduced or absent, 0-30 mm long, sometimes almost as long as the adjacent lemmas, lanceolate, membranous, and flexible or lanceolate-subulate, tapering from below midlength, and stiff, 0-5(7) veined, keels straight, tips unawned or with an awn no more than 4 mm long. Lemmas 7-25 mm long, acute, unawned or with straight awns to 7 mm long. Paleas >>>. Lodicules??. Anthers 2.5-10 mm.
About 50, most of which are in Central Asia.
Cool and temperate regions of Eurasia and the Americas, generally in alkaline or saline areas, including shorelines.
Alternative interpretations
Leymus is now accepted by most taxonomists. The only question concerns whether it should include some of the species that have no glumes. In the Flora of China, these are included in Hystrix but, in the Flora of North America, the type of Hystrix is included in Elymus. It appears that loss of glumes has occurred within different lineages in the Triticeae. The taxoomic implications of this statement have not yet been resolved.
Type species
Leymus arenarius Hochst.

The relationship of Leymus triticoides to Leymus simplex, Leymus salina, Leymus ambiguus, and Leymus multicaulis needs further study.

Wednesday night at 4:15 at Alico Arena in Fort Myers, Fla., both teams will put their 3-0 conference records on the line. Florida Gulf Coast is 10-0 overall and ranked third in CollegeInsider.com Women's Mid-Major Top 25 poll. The Lady Bisons are 6-6 overall.
Florida Gulf Coast rolled 79-39 over Belmont Monday night. The Lady Bisons beat Stetson 73-72 in overtime.
"Florida Gulf Coast is obviously the favorite in the conference by a pretty good margin," Lady Bisons coach Frank Bennett said. "We will see how we stack up with them."
Senior point guard Jenna Bartsokas scored 26 points; two points shy of her career high, in the win over Stetson. It was the fourth time this season she has scored 20 or more points.
"Jenna played like a senior all-conference guard should play," Bennett said. "Her play all-around was outstanding. She took care of the ball. They were very physical against her but she didn't let that rattle her.
"She shot the ball from 3-point range very well. She penetrated inside and made plays."
Bartsokas played 39 of 45 minutes and guard Anna Bowers played 38 while scoring 17 points.
"We are asking a lot of both of them," Bennett said. "I know they were tired at times, but they fought their way through."
Freshman center Jess Reece made her first start of the season, but struggled early with a couple of quick fouls against Stetson. When she re-entered the game she once again was in foul trouble.
She finally settled down her next time out and scored eight points, tied for the team rebound lead with six, made two assists and blocked two shots.
"She wasn't playing very strong or effective early, but the last time she came in she had a really strong stretch," Bennett said. "She was scoring. She made a couple of nice kick outs for 3-pointers. She blocked a shot or two. And she got some rebounds."
The Lady Bisons also got some timely help from Hannah Phillips who came off the bench to score 12 points, nine on 3-point shots. She hit the free throw in overtime that proved to be the game-winning point against Stetson. She also added six rebounds, two steals and two assists.
"One of the keys for us is where do we get the third, fourth and fifth sources of points," Bennett said. "Jess provided some of that against Stetson.
"So did Hannah. She came up big against Stetson. Billy Snell (assistant coach) has worked a lot with her on her footwork, her shooting stroke and follow-through. Being consistent with her footwork, her snap and follow-through makes all the difference in the world for her."
The Lady Bisons six wins equal their total for the entire 2008-2009 season and surpasses last season's five wins.
The three conference wins equal the total for both 2009-2010 and 2008-2009.
It was the first A-Sun road win for the Lady Bisons since beating Belmont 76-66 Jan. 12, 2009.
"We have had a lot of milestones already this season," Bennett said. "A lot of our games have been very close. We have had to battle and find a way to win. That is going to be the way it is the rest of the way with a lot of close and hard-fought games."
Beating Florida Gulf Coast on the road would be another milestone, but Bennett knows his Lady Bisons are going to be facing a big challenge.
"Florida Gulf Coast will run four or five guards," Bennett said. "They have a lot of players with perimeter skills as 3-point shooters.
"They are quick. They don't have a lot of size. But almost everyone on the roster is a high percentage 3-point shooter. They look for lay-ups, threes and fouls off of drives. Hopefully, we can slow them down and get some quality shots ourselves."
Bartsokas is third in the conference overall in scoring with 15.3 points per game. Bowers is sixth with 14.5 points per game.
Florida Gulf Coast is led by Kelsey Jacobson with 13.3 points per games, 11th in the conference. Shannon Murphy averages 12.4 points, 14th in the conference.
Jacobson leads the conference overall in 3-point field goals per game with 3.30. Bowers is close behind in second with 3.25.

The Colored Normal School at Huntsville is created by legislative act. Founded by ex-slave William Hooper Councill, the school educated black teachers for the public schools. It became a land-grant institution in 1891, eventually evolving intoAlabama A&M University.
The boll weevil monument is dedicated in Enterprise. The monument honors the insect that killed cotton plants and forced local farmers to diversify by planting more profitable crops such as peanuts. Even though the monument was in appreciation of the boll weevil, the weevil statue was not added to the monument until 30 years later.

When Chris Yost moved into her east Charlotte home four years ago, she downsized in most every way. Her square footage was smaller. Her mortgage, too. Pretty much everything, she says, but the yard behind the house.
It's just under a half-acre back there, with a mix of natural growth and grass. Chris initially wasn't excited about having to mow all of that land every week, so she worked weekends until she had a better grass-to-natural ratio.
But one Saturday earlier this year, she found herself instead at a local agency, pressed into duty to teach an English class for refugees. Chris had never thought much about the plights of people like the students in front of her, until she accompanied a friend a couple weeks before to hand out backpacks to refugee children at a nearby apartment complex. She decided then she might could do a little more. Giving can sometimes hook you that way.
As she talked to her English students that day, they told her their stories. Some were from Bhutan, a small, land-locked kingdom at the eastern heel of the Himalayas in South Asia. One of the Bhutanese was the best English speaker in the class, Damaru Baral.
Damaru told Chris he was a farmer, like many of the refugees from the agriculture-heavy country. He once had 125 acres of crops, and he sold the harvest at his small farm store until ethnic cleansing forced him from his land and country. He spent two decades in refugee camps before being granted asylum and allowed into the United States, and he was happy to be in his Charlotte apartment complex with his family.
But like the others, Damaru was a farmer with no land.
Chris felt dismay. She thought of her sizable lot.
"Would you like to use my backyard?" she said.
A few days later, in March, three elderly refugee women showed up at her house with hoes and claws. They squatted and began to dig. Grass turned to dirt, and dirt turned to soil. Soon, more refugees arrived - men and women, carving dozens of trenches in the backyard, planting row upon row of vegetables, stretching to the corners and the back of her lot.
They come at least a few days a week now, four families worth of workers, heading straight for the backyard. Early on, a neighbor called the police when he saw one refugee in front of Chris' house, but now everyone knows about the backyard, and there has been no trouble from anyone. "They are very polite," Chris says. "They are very thankful. I can't understand them."
But she understands this: They are farmers, and they are farming.
"These are potatoes," says Damaru, in sandals and shorts and a blue print short-sleeve shirt. "They come up in month." He walks from row to row, pointing proudly to the cabbage spreading its leaves, the purple buds of eggplants, the squash talking over a couple rows, as squash likes to do.
He stops at one stretch of plants. "Coriander," he says, nodding at the feathery leaves. "We eat a lot of this in Bhutan."
Patrice Ognodo stands nearby, a hoe in his hand. Ognodo runs a Charlotte ministry that helps refugees assimilate here. The challenge he faces is not only finding them a place to live, or helping them learn the language, or helping them be a little less homesick. It also is helping them find worth, especially the older adults, who wonder if their best days have been taken along with their homes. "They need to experience what they have done better in their lives," he says.
That's happening here, with buds and leaves, in row upon row, on this half-acre that's fuller than Chris Yost could have imagined. "I'm just amazed," she says. And: "It's an honor."
Damaru Baral, standing between the lettuce and green beans, talks about the crops he grew on his farm back home. Corn and potatoes and vegetables. "Just like this," he says, sweeping his arm across the backyard. "We are glad," he says. And: "We are happy to have ..." He searches a moment for the words. "Our place."

Houston Person
Released on CD as part of the limited-edition Blue Note Connoisseur series, United States of Mind represents pianist and composer Horace Silver's sprawling trilogy of thematically linked albums recorded between 1970 and '72: That Healin' Feelin', Total Response, and All. To say that these albums were misunderstood is to understate the case. Silver had been one of Blue Note's most reliable and steady hard- and post-bop artists since the late 1950s. There was nothing in his catalog that prepared listeners for this adventurous undertaking that linked spiritual concepts and social consciousness to modern jazz as it encountered soul, funk, and pop at the dawn of a new decade. For starters, there are vocals on all three albums by Andy or Salome Bey and Gail Nelson, Jackie Verdell, and even Silver himself, either individually or collectively. Next is Silver using an electric piano, electric bass, and on the latter two records, an electric guitar. Elements of the signature Silver sound remain; how could they not? The tunes are all tight, beautifully arranged and expertly played, but they sound like pop records being made by a jazz band. (And what a jazz band: Mickey Roker or Idris Muhammad on drums, saxophonists Houston Person, George Coleman, Harold Vick, bassists Bob Cranshaw or Jimmy Lewis, and trumpeters Cecil Bridgewater and Randy Brecker et all.) Thematically they discuss everything from cosmic consciousness to "peace," love, and understanding with breezy, optimistic melodies that reply on group execution rather than solo interplay. And what's more, many of these tunes could have been played on the formatless FM radio at the time -- and some indeed were. That Healin' Feelin' is the "straightest" of the bunch, it relies less on funk and more on jazz melodies and harmonies, and with Andy Bey's elegant singing holding forth with plenty of emotion and smooth soul as its starting point. One lone holdover, "Peace" was given fresh treatment here with lyrics and a killer performance by Bey -- Norah Jones later recorded this version for her Blue Note demo. Total Response and All are another matter. These are thoroughly electric records, they use distorted wah wah guitars, fuzzed up funk basses, they indulge and engage pop song forms with abandon and, while thoroughly being jazz records, they attempt to dissolve the artificial dividing line between genres. There were singles issued from each successive platter and the tune "All" became a hit -- as Silver's debut vocal performance! Other songs form these recordings such as "The Happy Medium" were recorded and played by performers like Charles Earland in his live set. Marlena Shaw covered both "Wipe Away the Evil" and "The Show Has Begun." And while it's true that songs such as "Acid, Pot & Pills," "Won't You Open up Your Senses," and "Soul Searchin'" have seemingly dated lyrical contents, their rhythmic and groove elements have been employed by DJs of later generations in clubs and on dancefloors across the United States and Europe. Ultimately, these records deserve a new hearing. Perhaps Silver's traditional fans who worship the hard bop material still won't get them, and that's fine. But those investigating jazz funk, '70s soul, or seeking out lost grooves from back in the day would do well to listen hard because the reward is bountiful. The quality and vision of the music here is unquestionable, and the bigger message found on these albums is as timely and eternal. ~ Thom Jurek

I agree with this...porpoise wrote:I regard the Satipatthana Sutta as the primary instructional text for the development of sati. A key phrase in the sutta is "remaining focussed on" various aspects of the 4 frames, which strongly suggests paying attention. And through paying attention, understanding arises.Dmytro wrote:I wonder how the interpretation of 'sati' as 'bare attention' can be consistent with Satipatthana sutta, when this sutta doesn't define 'sati'.porpoise wrote:The approach I've found most helpful is that described by Thera Nyanaponika in The Heart of Meditation, where there is a distinction between "bare attention" ( sati ) and "clear comprehension" ( sati-sampajjana ). It seems consistent with the Satipatthana Sutta, and it also seems consistent with practice.
In such a case, any other interpretation, i.e. 'choiceless awareness' of Krishnamurti, would be consistent as well.
May all be well

- Despite academics, politicians, and international organisations recognising that the UK is facing a housing crisis, it is currently far less developed than many imagine, especially when compared to similar countries. Indeed, only two members of the EU 27 have less built environment per capita than the UK: the Netherlands and Cyprus. 90% of land in England remains undeveloped, and just 0.5% would be required to fulfil this decade's housing needs.
- Green Belts are not the bucolic idylls some imagine them to be; indeed, more than a third of protected Green Belt land is devoted to intensive farming, which generates net environmental costs.
- The concept of ever-expanding urban sprawl is mistaken and pernicious. In addition, Green Belts can give rise to "leap-frog development", where intermediate patches of land are left undeveloped due to restrictions, a phenomenon indistinguishable from what many understand urban sprawl to be.
- By encouraging urban densification, Green Belts take green space away from those places where it is most valued. Each hectare of city park is estimated to be of £54,000 benefit per year, compared to a mere £889 per hectare for Green Belt land on the fringe of an urban area.
- There are substantial welfare costs of Green Belts. They have made accommodation more expensive and smaller, increased costs for businesses (especially relative to other European cities), and have contributed to the volatility of house prices.
- The avenue of reform we favour is the complete abolition of the Green Belt, a step which could solve the housing crisis without the loss of any amenity or historical value – if only politicians and planners had the courage to take it.
- Failing this, we conclude that removing Green Belt designation from intensive agricultural land would also enable the building of all the housing required for the foreseeable future, and could help ameliorate the catastrophic undersupply of recent decades.
- In the short term, simply removing restrictions on land 10 minutes' walk of a railway station would allow the development of 1 million more homes within the Green Belt surrounding London alone.
Made in the UK: Unlocking the Door to International Entrepreneurs
A ground-breaking survey reveals that the visa system is failing international graduate entrepreneurs who want to start a business in the UK. The report from The Entrepreneurs Network, in partnership with National Union of Students (NUS), surveyed 1,599 graduate international students.

The book tells how free societies unleash talent and initiative to create prosperity and happiness.
Wind Power Reassessed: A review of the UK wind resource for electricity generation
The UK wind debate assumes that wind farms operate at roughly their average output most of the time. According to Dr. Capell Aris' new paper produced in concert with the Scientific Alliance this is not true. Power comes only extremely intermittently and variably and there are long periods of negligible efficiency in the long winter months when power is most needed. A 10GW wind fleet would need approximately 9.5GW of fossil capacity to guarantee its output.
Parliamentary Snapshot: MPs on Entrepreneurship
Members of Parliament may talk a good talk about their desire to support entrepreneurship in the UK, but in practice there are multiple, competing policy options open to them – whether this is increasing tax breaks, spending more in various ways or cutting regulation. Due to the limited time and resources available to government it matters where the sympathies of our representatives lie within the context of the current policies already in force. Parliamentary Snapshot: MPs on Entrepreneurship is the first survey to uncover the views of MPs on policies impacting entrepreneurs, providing useful insights on the opinions and working knowledge of the House of Commons.
Quids In: How sterlingization and free banking could help Scotland flourish
An independent Scotland using the pound outside of a currency union would have a more stable financial system and economy than it has now or than a currency union could provide, argues Sam Bowman. 'Adaptive sterlingization' – a combined policy of unilateral use of GBP without a formal currency union and reform of Scottish banking regulations – would reduce risk-taking and increase competition in banking, significantly reducing the prospect of large-scale bank panics and financial crises. The 'dollarized' economies of Latin America – Panama, Ecuador and El Salvador – provide strong modern-day evidence that banking systems do better without central lenders of last resort.
Sweet FA: Why foreign player crackdowns hurt English football
It is a very common view that "importing" foreign football players into the UK to play in the Premier League leads to less opportunity for English players to play for these teams. This means that English players get less high-level experience, and consequently aren't as good as the players of Spain, France, Italy or Germany, who make up a larger fraction of the players playing in their home leagues. This, the argument runs, is an important factor in explaining the English national team's perceived underperformance in international competitions. I review the literature and present novel data establishing a negative relationship between current performance (as measured by FIFA ranking) and the current amount of football played in a league by native players (across Spain, England, Germany and Italy). Further, I find no relationship between minutes played by English players in the Premier League five or ten years ago and current performance. Finally, I find strong evidence that a league's overall strength (as measured by its UEFA coefficient) is predicted by the current amount of foreigners playing in it. To restrict foreign players would not directly benefit the English national team, but it would risk substantially curtailing the overall quality of the world's most popular football league.
Incentive to invest: How education affects economic growth
Gabriel Sahlgren shows the relationship between educational outcomes and economic growth and argues that expanding access to private education would improve long-run GDP growth dramatically.
