Southwest Tells A Second Woman To Cover Up
Since when did Southwest Airlines become the fashion police? CNN is reporting that a second woman has come forward to say that Southwest Airlines told her to cover up because her dress was too revealing.
This coming from the "LUV" airline that used to force its flight attendants to wear hot pants and boots that Britney Spears would wear to a funeral.
What the hell, Southwest? From CNN:
Setara Qassim said a flight attendant confronted her during the trip from Tucson, Arizona, to Burbank, California, and asked whether she had a sweater to go over her green halter-style dress.
Qassim, 21, told KNBC-TV in Los Angeles she was forced to wrap a blanket around herself for the rest of the flight. She complained that if Southwest wants passengers to dress a certain way, it should publish a dress code.
Southwest, every time you think you need to tell a woman to cover up, look at some old photos of your flight attendants instead.
Second woman says Southwest made her cover up [CNN] (Thanks, Anne!)

Juan Dolio, Dominican Republic – Flexibility is a key virtue for the Lipscomb men's basketball team on their foreign tour to the Dominican Republic.
Thursday evening the Bisons departed the hotel in two mini-buses on their way to play their first of five exhibition games as part of the foreign tour. The game schedule has been in a state-of-flux ever since it was received.
When the buses exited the hotel in the opposite direction of Santo Domingo we figured the location of the game had been changed again. And, depending on the schedule version, it had been.
After a thirty minute drive – everywhere the team goes; it seems to be a thirty minute drive even though the bus drivers always say we are cinco (five) minutes away – the team arrived in Consuelo at an open air gym.
Click here to view pictures from the evening
The gym was covered but had open air sides with five rows of concrete bleachers on three sides. The Bisons were supposed to play a local club team which was best described as collegiate-level players that are not students.
A few jokes were made about shooting into the setting sunlight or about the buckling outdoor floor, but with the mood still heavy from the morning visit to the Sugar Cane Village, no one was too serious. While poor, the residents of Consuelo are still blessed in comparison with a basketball gym along with several baseball facilities within a few hundred feet of each other.
Our opponents began arriving about 7 p.m. or even a few minutes late – known in the Caribbean as "Island Time." Soon a referee arrived and a person brought uniforms for our opponents. Every jersey was No. 3.
A generator was outside of the facility upon our arrivel. No one thought much about it until it started to become dark and there were no lights.
The team would soon learn that the facility was not connected to the electric grid and the generator was present to run the lights.
But no one could get the generator started. An electrician was called. Car batteries were removed to try to jump start it and a car was even directly connected to the generator with jumper cables.
The work on the generator became the sight of Consuelo Thursday evening with upwards of a hundred people stopping by to look on.
Finally after an hour of working on the generator, there were no more options to try. There was an offer to bring in a second generator, but by that time it was 8:30 and the game was an hour and half late starting. The decision was made to cancel the game.
Friday the Bisons are scheduled for two games – one at 9 a.m. central time and one at 6 p.m. central time. Dependent on internet or cell phone connectivity there will be in-game updates on the LipscombBisons twitter account and postgame on LipscombSports.com
Sporting News ran an interesting article yesterday on the benefits of foreign tours allowed once every four years by the NCAA. Teams that took foreign tours over the last four years increased their win totals by two games in the first year. Furthermore in the second year after a tour, teams gained nearly another two wins. While this isn't a scientific study, the Lipscomb coaching staff can hope the early experience and practice for the eight newcomers on the trip will show benefits both this year and in the years to come.

XFX HD6950 1GB Overclocked Edition Review
With the explosion of overclocking years ago, we are finding more and more manufacturers are endorsing and embracing overclocking of their products. This included products from NVIDIA to Intel and AMD, to other component manufacturers such as XFX, MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS, etc. Along with this endorsement comes a wider range of product support and quality. Recently, many manufacturers are boasting higher quality military grade components that will allow users to overclock products further and with more stability and efficiency. Over the past several years, we almost never fail to see a new line of video cards coming out and within weeks, have an overclocked version of it — usually with a better cooling solution as well. In some cases, some video cards even release as twins where the brother or sister is an overclocked version!
Having this huge support for overclocking by many manufacturers also opens the market for better aftermarket cooling solutions. After all, the factory coolers on these products are generally designed and produced with the limit being stock speeds. That's where manufacturers such as Noctua, Thermalright, Zalman and many other manufacturers stepped in to help us upgrade our stock coolers and replace them with something that will allow the taking of our hardware to the absolute limit. Mixed together, we end up with an overclocked version of the AMD HD 6950 which was released last year and assembled by XFX. The cooler that ships with it seems to be upgraded, as it has two propeller fans (rather than one single blower) and three large heatpipes peeking out the side of the fan housing. It will be interesting to see what type of temperature differences we see between this version and the XFX reference version, as found in this review. These cards are capable of displaying video on up to six monitors from one video card, that is very neat! This is accomplished by the use of DisplayPort, which can run two video channels per port.
This review will feature a complete evaluation of the XFX Radeon HD 6950 1GB XXX Edition video card. It will start from exterior views, interior and "under the hood" views, providing a comprehensive list of specifications and features, followed by an intense overclocking and testing methology that batters the card with extreme temperatures and loads. Doing so, I will be able to gather results from each testing simulation and compare it to other high-end cards on the market. The conclusion will feature a wrap-up summation of my thoughts about the card, its performance and its price.
Closer Look:
The XFX HD 6950 1Gb XXX Edition is packaged in a box that is identical to recent XFX production. It is a black/gray box accented with signature red AMD color along with the XFX and AMD logos with the XXX Edition sticker in the bottom right of the front face. Also on this side are small icons — which include "1GB GDDR5", and "XFX 5-Star Support". Many who have dealt with returns and RMAs from XFX can agree that they were provided with top quality service. The back of the box lists the key offerings of the card, which are relatively standard in this age. Some of the more important ones include HDMI output, "XFX Dual Fan Technology" and AMD Eyefinity Multi-Display Technology. The corners of the box contain other information such as system requirements and supported operating systems.
Opening one of the side flaps will expose an inner box which slides out and contains the video card and all of the other components. Opening the box will reveal a tray on top of the card that holds the user manuals, warranty cards, installation instructions and a CrossfireX bridge. Using bridges like this allows the use of up to four video cards in CrossfireX, assuming the required hardware is present. XFX also supplies a "Do Not Disturb" door hanger, which has the XFX serial number printed onto it. There is also a brochure marketing XFX's new line of power supplies, known as its "PRO Series PSUs".
Now that the video card is out of the packaging, I will now start taking a close look at the card and its components on the next page.

Zambia's deforestation problem
- 1 Post
The amount of rainfall largely depends on the development of the
Inter- Tropical Convergence zone (ITCZ) over Africa. Here in
Zambia the poor earn their living on farming and if the ITCZ
shifts away from the country, it means, therefore that there will
be little or no rainfall at all hence, there will be droughts.
Other causes of droughts in Zambia are deforestation and the
cutting down of trees. To ensure that there is a stable water
table in Zambia we should avoid the cutting down of indigenous
trees and ensure that more trees are planted for the formation of
rainfall. We should also sensitize and raise awareness campaigns
on the dangers of deforestation and illegal cutting down of
trees. In conclusion, deforestation is the major contributor to
the lack of rains and an unstable water table which leads to poor
vegetation in Zambia.

NARAL hosts 'Screw Abstinence Party'
Abortion-rights group to cut loose at local fund-raiser
An affiliate of one of the nation's leading abortion-rights groups is taking a hard-edged swipe at cultural conservatives by inviting young donors to a "Screw Abstinence Party."
The Washington-state affiliate of NARAL Pro-Choice America says the first-of-its-kind fund-raiser tomorrow night in Seattle targets young professionals in their 20s and 30s.
A promo for the event says: "Tired of Bush & Co. spending your tax dollars on abstinence-only-until-marriage initiatives that promote dangerous misinformation? Throw your hands up and say it loud: 'Screw Abstinence!'"
Banner advertising NARAL Washington state's fund-raiser
The party features the "Pork Filled Players" – described as "Seattle theatre's hottest sketch comedy group" – who will perform "a sex ed class for adults." Also on the schedule is the retailer Toys in Babeland, "Seattle's sleaze-free, sex-positive purveyors of adult toys," which will "offer tips on 'Sexy Safer Sex.'"
A flyer distributed by the affiliate says: "Let them know you keep it real when it comes to your sexual health and decision making. Come laugh, learn, socialize and buck the system at NARAL Pro-Choice Washington's Screw Abstinence Party."
A staffer at the Seattle office told WND that about 100 people have pre-registered for the event.
A spokeswoman for the affiliate did not respond to a request for comment.
The staffer said the event is not organized by the national office and while other affiliates have held fund-raisers targeting young professionals, none have put on a "Screw Abstinence Party."
The national office in Washington, D.C., also did not respond to a request for comment.
A flyer says funds raised at the party go toward securing "comprehensive and medically-accurate sex education, as well as guarantee every woman the right to make personal decisions regarding the full range of reproductive choices."
But some supporters of abortion rights think the party reflects poorly on NARAL.
contributor to the weblog of Seattle's left-leaning alternative weekly, The Stranger, thought NARAL was making a politically foolish choice.
"Does this strike anyone else as a cringe-worthy and counterproductive theme for a pro-choice fundraiser," asked Josh Feit. "It seems politically idiotic for the preeminent pro-choice group in the country to be sponsoring this pandering, pseudo-hipster 'sex positive' event."
Feit said the event "undermines NARAL's credibility as an organization that is seriously concerned with unwanted pregnancies by playing into the right's stereotypes about the left as a promiscuous bunch of libertines."
"Wow-weee, the left is 'pro-sex' and those meanie Christian activists want to preach abstinence in the schools," Feit wrote. "Look, I'm just as freaked out as anyone about the creeping evisceration of separation of church and state … but let's be smart politically. A 'Screw Abstinence' fundraiser is … trite, juvenile, and politically stupid."
While opposing "abstinence only" sex education, NARAL's national organization has supported legislation that would provide federal funding for programs that teach both abstinence and "safe sex," or contraception.
The national office says on its website, "In searching for solutions to this crisis, some individuals and groups have focused on abstinence-only education. But while abstinence education is an essential part of sex education, it should not be the only lesson taught. Sex education should also teach teens how to protect themselves if they do become sexually active."
NARAL touts a bill by Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., known as the REAL Act, or Responsible Education About Life.
The bill is "an alternative to 'abstinence-only' programs and would give students real answers by establishing the first-ever federal sex-education program," NARAL says.

Estero a south county hub
May 28, 2009
panish for estuary, Estero has been slowly transformed from undeveloped land that was once little more than a remote home for a newfound religious sect and habitat for an Everglades-draining ecosystem. Until just a few decades ago, Estero, nestled in south Lee County, was a nearly empty expanse of cow pastures, orange groves, historic homes and a lazy Estero River draining to Estero Bay. But, boy, how times have changed. The Estero River is still there for visitors and residents to paddle up or down the scenic waterway, but perhaps that has been overshadowed in recent years by the break-neck pace at which Estero has developed into one of the fastest growing areas of Lee County. To keep growth under control, local residents have banded together to persuade the county to only allow Mediterranean-style architecture and top-of-the-line stores. Even gas stations must conform to the look of luxury. With more people has come the housing, amenities and attractions to support the growth. Things to do * Shopping If shopping is your draw, Miromar Outlets offers some of the best savings at name-brand stores in Southwest Florida, while Coconut Point and Gulf Coast Town Center offer, between them more than 260 stores, shops and restuarants. * Sports Spectator sports more your thing? Then the three professional sports teams that call Germain Arena home should keep you entertained. The arena is also open to the public for a cool ice skating or hockey treat, plus major concerts and other events are held there all year. Florida Gulf Coast University is also home to college athletics, including men's and women's basketball and hockey, all of which play at Alico Arena on campus. * State parks And if the great outdoors suit your nature best, there are three Florida state parks, including the Koreshan State Historic Site that commemorates the 1894 settlement of the somewhat peculiar followers of Cyrus Reed Teed. At least two outlets rent kayaks and canoes to explore some these preserved areas, including a newly –acquired 104 acres adjacent to Koreshan park on the Estero River. * Golf If you like something a little different while enjoying the Florida sunshine, there is no shortage of golf courses in Estero. With an average high temperature of 75 degrees in the winter, you can enjoy the greens at nine Estero golf courses all year long. Or travel just a few miles to Fort Myers or Bonita Springs for countless other opportunities to seek your reward at the 19th hole. While in South Lee County, it's hard to ignore some of the other attractions just outside of Estero. * Neighborhoods and communities Just to the north is San Carlos Park, a community of winding streets, lakes and canals, which was built starting in the 1960s. Driving south on U.S. 41, you will see a large archway on Constitution Boulevard, the gateway to the community. If you spend time there, check out San Carlos Plaza. The shopping center sports not one, but two ice cream stands, and is a popular spot with a sports bar, clothing shops, retail stores and neighborhood hardware store. Head south of Estero and enter a world of fine dining, grand hotels on the water and charming boutiques. U.S. 41 eventually takes you to cities like Bonita Springs and Naples and the relaxation of Marco Island. * Beaches For beach lovers, drive west on Bonita Beach Road to Lovers Key, with miles of pristine beaches, and even a special beach for dogs to run without a leash — heaven for beachwalkers and their best friends. Like every coastal area in southwest Florida, it's easy to find an outdoor restaurant, beach or marina to watch the sun set over the calm blue Gulf of Mexico. Finding your way back to Estero, perhaps the most interesting attraction is its history.

Every now and then, a computer comes along that makes a mark, that sets a trend, or that simply stuns you - but not because of its internals, its processor or its software, but because of its appearance. Through the history of computing, there have been a number of computers that were actually designed to appeal not just because of raw technology alone, but also because of stunning looks.

I am looking for references on Steinmetz Transform and its relation with Laplace and Fourier Transforms. There is an Italian Wikipedia page about this topic but with no references.
(Too long for a comment.) I think the italian Wiki page is wrong. It says the transform "was conceived by the author in 1893 [probably this text] and exposed in his treatise Theory and Calculation of Alternating Current Phenomena four years later."
However, as you can check there is not a trace in these texts (nor in the others authored by Steinmetz and available on archive.org) of what Wikipedia calls "la transformata di Steinmetz" -- i.e. the Fourier isomorphism $L^2(S^1)\to\ell^2(\mathbf{Z})$ -- which by the way, was written explicitly much before 1893.
These texts are famous for introducing complex numbers (in particular the notation $j=\sqrt{-1}$) into electrical engineering, but my impression is that naming the transform in Steinmetz's honor happened much later, perhaps in Italy, with little regard to what he himself actually did (or as the case may be, never did) with it.

Monk meditates in Copley Square
Monk meditates in Copley Square
International peace activist, author, and Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh meditated in Copley Square Sunday.
Hanh meditated in front of a crowd of about 2,000.
When the 86-year-old Hanh was introduced to the audience, he began by saying nothing for 25 minutes.
Hanh's appearance in Boston was a major occasion for the local Buddhist community; it is the only New England stop on his US tour.
Carol Hudgins of Cincinnati, Jim Piermarini Jr. of Amesbury, and Drew Amabile of Cambridge meditated along with Hanh.
The silence was interrupted only when Hanh would encourage the audience to breathe in and out and meditate on a feeling.

Hurricane Sandy raged through the Bahamas early Friday after leaving 21 people dead across the Caribbean, following a path that could see it blend with a winter storm and reach the U.S. East Coast as a super-storm next week.
Updated at 4:04 p.m.
RALEIGH � Residents along the North Carolina coast are taking the typical precautions, but Hurricane Sandy has yet to raise concerns like those created by Irene more than a year ago.
Sandy left 38 people dead across the Caribbean as it churned north on a path that's expected to keep the center well out to sea as it passed North Carolina's Outer Banks. It could convert into a winter storm next week farther north along the East Coast.
Early rain and winds arrived Friday on the Outer Banks, a roughly 200-mile stretch of fragile barrier islands off the state's coast. Winds of 30 to 50 mph were expected by Saturday night along with several inches of rain.
As of 2 p.m., the National Hurricane Center placed the center of Sandy about 430 miles south-southeast of Charleston, S.C.
�We're just starting to see a little rain and the wind picking up. So things are just starting to happen,� said Veda Peters, who owns the Cypress House Inn in Kill Devil Hills with her husband. �So we are taking precautions.�
While the main highway onto the vacation islands was full of visitors hoping to enjoy a planned getaway, Peters said she was encouraging guests to her bed-and- breakfast to fill their gas tanks ahead of a possible power outage if they planned to stay.
The converted house is only about 100 yards from the ocean, so the reinforced hurricane shutters on the second floor are locked in place to protect the window from flying debris. But first-floor windows under the wraparound porch that were encased by bolt-on shutters ahead of Irene aren't likely to be at risk from this storm, Peters said.
Other coastal residents were lashing down trash cans and hot tubs, and pulling boats out of their docks to higher ground. But gas stations generally were uncrowded and ferries maintained their schedules Friday without floods of evacuees.
�We're treating it like we would any other hurricane. We are monitoring it closely,� said Sandy Sanderson, Dare County Emergency Management director. �Everything we typically do during a hurricane, we have done or are in the process of doing.�
Division of Emergency Management spokeswoman Julia Jarema said the State Emergency Operations Center will begin its work Saturday morning.
�This is not behaving like typical hurricanes. That fact that it's not predicted to make landfall in North Carolina doesn't mean it won't have an impact in North Carolina.�
On Ocracoke Island, a 16-mile-long barrier island accessible only by boat that is home to about 800 year-round residents, there was no plan for any evacuation before gale-force winds force the ferries to batten down Saturday, said Tommy Hutcherson, a community leader whose family has owned the Ocracoke Variety Store for 30 years.
�People go through this all the time around here. It's not the first time and it won't be the last. All the local people tend to stock up on supplies and the (grocery) store's been bustling,� said Hutcherson, whose business sells both groceries and hardware supplies. The hardware side of the store, on the other hand, hasn't seen much of a pickup ahead of the storm.
�They might be selling a few extra nails, but mainly it's more people stocking up on grocery supplies,� Hutcherson said.
NASSAU, Bahamas � Hurricane Sandy raged through the Bahamas early Friday after leaving 21 people dead across the Caribbean, following a path that could see it blend with a winter storm and reach the U.S. East Coast as a super-storm next week.
Sandy knocked out power, flooded roads and cut off islands in the storm-hardened Bahamas as it swirled past Cat Island and Eleuthera, but authorities reported no deaths in the scattered archipelago.
"Generally people are realizing it is serious," said Caroline Turnquest, head of the Red Cross in the Bahamas, who said 20 shelters were opened on the main island of New Providence.
Sandy, which weakened to a category 1 hurricane Thursday night, caused havoc in Cuba early in the day, killing 11 people in eastern Santiago and Guantanamo provinces as its howling winds and rain toppled houses and ripped off roofs. Authorities said it was Cuba's deadliest storm since July 2005, when category 5 Hurricane Dennis killed 16 people and caused $2.4 billion in damage.
Sandy also killed one person while crossing Jamaica on Wednesday and 10 in Haiti, where heavy rains from the storm's outer bands caused flooding in the impoverished and deforested country.
Early Friday, the hurricane's center was about 15 miles (25 kilometers) east-southeast of Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas and 485 miles (780 kilometers) south-southeast of Charleston, S.C. Sand was moving northest at 13 mph (20 kph) with maximum sustained winds near 80 mph (130 kph).
Forecasters warned that Sandy will likely mix with a winter storm to create a monster storm in the eastern U.S. next week whose effects will be felt along the entire Atlantic Coast from Florida to Maine and inland to Ohio.
A new tropical storm watch was issued early Friday for a section of the U.S. East Coast extending from Savannah, Ga., northward to North Carolina's Outer Banks.
Sandy, which crossed Cuba and reached the Bahamas as a category 2 hurricane, was expected to maintain its category 1 storm status for the next few days.
In the Bahamas, power was out on Acklins Island and most roads there were flooded, government administrator Berkeley Williams said.
On Ragged Island in the southern Bahamas, the lone school was flooded.
"We have holes in roofs, lost shingles and power lines are down," said Charlene Bain, local Red Cross president. "But nobody lost a life, that's the important thing."
Steven Russell, an emergency management official in Nassau, said docks on the western side of Great Inagua island had been destroyed and the roof of a government building was partially ripped off.
Sooner Halvorson, a 36-year-old hotel owner from Colorado who recently moved to the Bahamas, said she and her husband, Matt, expected to ride out the storm with their two young children, three cats, two dogs and a goat at their Cat Island resort.
"We brought all of our animals inside," she said, though she added that a horse stayed outside. "She's a 40-year-old horse from the island. She's been through tons of hurricanes."
On Great Exuma island, guest house operator Veronica Marshall supplied her only customer with a flashlight and some food before Sandy bore down. She said she was confident that she and her business would make it through intact.
"I'm 73 years old and I've weathered many storms," she said.
Tropical storm conditions were possible for Florida's southeastern coast, the Upper Keys and Florida Bay by Friday morning.
Hurricane Sandy was expected to churn through the central and northwest Bahamas by Friday afternoon and then head northward off the U.S. coast.
With storm conditions projected to hit New Jersey with tropical storm-force winds Tuesday, there was a 90 percent chance that most of the U.S. East Coast would get steady gale-force winds, flooding, heavy rain and maybe snow starting Sunday and stretching past Wednesday, U.S. forecaster Jim Cisco said.
In an announcement at the end of Cuba's Thursday night newscast, Cuban authorities said the island's 11 dead included a 4-month-old boy who was crushed when his home collapsed and an 84-year-old man in Santiago province.
Santiago, Cuba's second largest city near the eastern tip of the island, was spared the worst of the storm, which also slammed the provinces of Granma, Holguin and Las Tunas.
There were no reports of injuries at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, but there were downed trees and power lines, said Kelly Wirfel, a base spokeswoman. Officials canceled a military tribunal session scheduled for Thursday for the prisoner charged in the 2000 attack on the Navy destroyer USS Cole.
In Haiti, Joseph Edgard Celestin, a spokesman for the civil protection office, said the country's death toll stood at nine, including three people who died while trying to cross storm-swollen rivers in southwestern Haiti. He did not provide specifics of how other people died.
Officials reported flooding across Haiti, where many of the 370,000 people still displaced by the devastating 2010 earthquake scrambled for shelter. More than 1,000 people were evacuated from 11 quake settlements, according to the International Organization for Migration.
Sandy was blamed for the death of an elderly man in Jamaica.
Associated Press writers Danica Coto in San Juan, Puerto Rico; David McFadden in Kingston, Jamaica; Trenton Daniel in Port-au-Prince, Haiti; Ben Fox in Guantanamo, Cuba; Seth Borenstein in Washington; Juan McCartney in Nassau, Bahamas; and Fernando Gonzalez, Paul Haven, Andrea Rodriguez and Anne-Marie Garcia in Havana contributed to this report.

The Next Web: "Google has also been working with Samsung to launch a 10-inch tablet, confirming leaks which suggested Google had teamed up with the Korean manufacturer for another device. Our source tells us that internally the tablet goes under the name 'Codename Manta', runs Google's new Android 4.2 operating system (previously referred to as Key Lime Pie, but is set to retain the Jelly Bean branding), and will offer a 2560x1600 pixel (10:16) resolution, which we believe will offer around 300 pixels per inch compared to the new iPad's 264 PPI."

As regards the Transformer, I don't know if the it saw 3 updated releases because it was sucessful, or because Asus thinks there is an untapped "hybrid Android tablet" market and so they persist with the Transformer despite the low sales...
How many of those Android tablets sold were above 7-8 inches anyway, and how many of them were "hybrids"?
PS: Anyone talking about Android lag in versions 4.1 and above falls in the "not sure if trolling or just stu.... errr ignorant" category.

Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a football game. So, we will give you a fork report, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from ASU's game against Arizona on November 23. Final score: Arizona State 41, Arizona 34.
The Good:
The Sun Devils regained the Territorial Cup, scoring 24 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. The victory — the first against an FBS team with a winning record this season — was set up by an offense that scored touchdowns after each of the four turnovers forced by the defense.
Marion Grice had three of those scores and finished with a career-high 156 yards on 18 carries.
The Bad:
The Sun Devils committed seven penalties for a season-high 86 yards; however, four of those penalties came in the first quarter.
He Said It:
"It showed the character that the guys have," head coach Todd Graham said of his team's fourth quarter rally that secured the Sun Devils' first winning season since 2007. "I'm just so proud to hold this Territorial Cup."
• For the fourth consecutive season, the visiting team won the Duel in the Desert.
• Senior linebacker Brandon Magee set a new career-high with 17 tackles (14 solo) to go over 100 tackles for the season. He became the first Sun Devil to have more than 100 tackles in a single season since Robert James had 106 in 2007.
Coming Up Next:
The Sun Devils (7-5, 5-4) are bowl eligible for the second straight year. They now await their postseason destination, likely to be announced Sunday, December 2.

Without geography you become the next Cameron Diaz or CNN
firstname.lastname@example.com links to the must read essay of the year entitled Bring Back Geography! The essay is long but well worth one's time. I will not summarize the essay but touch on key points and offer thoughts.
Three Main Points Catholicgauze and the Essay Agree
Geography Gets No Respect
When I was earning my degrees I was constantly asked what I was studying in school. I replied, of course, "geography." Almost every time the reply back was "What are you going to do? Teach?" Too many people think geography is just remembering countries and the three main exports. It is because of this that university close down geography departments. With little upper level education, teachers and other college students get no proper geographical education. No good teachers means geographical illiteracy becomes common in a society.
Geographers Are Partly to Blame for the No Respect
I told a friend something important when we were helping out the state Geography Bee. I said something along the lines of "You know how we always claim geography is more than place trivia? What are we doing here?" When studies by National Geographic and others exemplify how kids do not know geography, we make it appear geography is place trivia and for kids. I hate to brag about we need more Catholicgauzes in the world (a horrible thought!). There are dozens of excellent blogs out about geotechnology but how many geography blogs are there? Geographers need to be interacting with people showing what geography is.
Geographic Illiteracy Ranges from Embarrassing to Insulting to Dangerous
The risks involved with being geographic illiteracy are numerous. You can embarrass yourself like CNN did by labeling Syria as Afghanistan, you can insult the inhabitants of the country you are visiting by making the symbol of group that murdered 70,000 of your country men chic like Cameron Diaz did, or you can greatly minimize your effectiveness as an army like General David Petraeus realizes in observation nine [PDF]. Geographers must teach the public how things operate in a globalized world. We need to tell people how an economic downturn in China will change their shopping habits or if tribes in Nigeria become angry then oil price will shoot up. We must also go beyond human geography. Geographers can take the lead in discussions on the environment but so far we remain silent.
Three Extra Fights
Fight for Our Right
Today a popular thing for universities to do is multidisciplinary programs. Geographers work well with other disciplines. However we must protect our turf at all cost. We excel by nature at area studies, environmental sciences, and GIS. Any attempt to spin these off to another department or as an independent branch must be opposed. Also, any attempt to merge geography with another department makes it a grab bag of left overs.
Fight "The Infection"
You know Catholicgauze very well if you know the first time this came up. An anti-establishment disease crossed over from European departments to American ones. Too many geographers refuse to participate with military operations (there was a debate in several geographical journals over this issue after 9/11), in mainstream studies of globalization (the best work on the subject, Commanding Heights, noticeably lacks a geographer's input), or any other study "the corporate machines of the world want us to do." That is a real quote. Geographers waste their gifts and will be replaced by others if they insists in locking themselves in their ivy-tower prisons.
Fight for Proper Use of Tools
When I was teaching Environmental Geography lab I allowed students to use my laptop's version of Google Earth. The students looked up their houses and then stopped. They saw no further use. Then I showed them various layers such as weather and earthquakes around the world. I used the displayed data to convey spatial themes behind climate zones and the Ring of Fire. The students then realized Google Earth was not a mere earth viewer but a tool to help explaining geography.
Too often geographers let tools take a life of their own. I have warned against this. When a president of a major geographical association went to Harvard to celebrate its new GIS lab, he erred. The GIS tool was taken by others at the school and geography lost its right and place at Harvard.
Parting Thought
I could repeat the phrase "geography matters" but that would be preaching to the choir. Geographers need to reach out to the public, to school teachers, to leaders what geography is and how geographical knowledge can aid in many situations.

Beachridge Estate is situated approximately 200 km north of Perth's CBD, almost equidistant from Perth and Geraldton on the Indian Ocean coast.
A focus by the developer and approval authorities on the principles of environmental sustainability, and in particular water sensitive urban design, helped underpin the development. The intention was to avoid transplanting 'suburbia' to this unique coastal location.
Strong prevailing winds with resulting dust presented construction difficulties, particularly during the early stages of bulk earthworks. Unprecedented contingency measures such as the installation of a...Read More >
Located in the much sought after South Beach precinct close to the Fremantle CBD, this project presented Wormall Civil with some of the most challenging civil and environmental construction tasks the company had ever undertaken.
This environmentally sensitive site had previously been used as rail marshalling yards, a tip site and foundry, with asbestos, pesticides and heavy metals present within the soils.
Meticulous planning and scheduling of the civil works was necessary to accommodate the staged removal of decommissioned water, sewer, gas and electrical power...Read More >
This contemporary address features an impressive entry to the estate and a panoramic central lake surrounded by immaculate landscaping and mature paperbark trees, retained from the natural bushland setting.
Bulk earthworks and civil construction works included sewer, drainage, retaining and feature walls, roads, water, power, gas, communications and landscaping.
Wormall Civil faced a number of challenges, as the company was required to allow early access to the builders to commence construction while it completed the earthworks and civil works for remaining lots in the development....Read More >

Men of 2014 Ready for Caleb Mills' Bellby Howard Hewitt • August 20, 2010 Share:
One of Wabash's most cherished traditions plays out Saturday when more than 250 young men begin their college journey. President Patrick White will use Caleb Mills' school bell to ring in the Class of 2014.
The time-honored tradition takes place at 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon in the Pioneer Chapel. It's a big day in so many ways for the newest Wabash men.
The new students will arrive all morning and go through registration and the hard work of moving in. The job has gotten easier in recent years for independent men. Wabash football coach Erik Raeburn started a new tradition his first year here by having upper class football players on hand at the dorms to help carry in the boxes and boxes that accompany each young man.
A parents' program Saturday morning includes a 10 a.m. introduction to the fraternity system and a reception. The afternoon is a panel with the College deans and student faculty advisors.
Parents are encouraged to do hugs and goodbyes by late afternoon and students are off to see faculty advisors, picnic in the Arboretum, and an evening introduction to the Gentleman's Rule.
Campus comes alive this weekend as the freshman class arrives. Nearly 200 students are already on campus, mostly football players, but also the cross country team, soccer team, and Bachelor staff. More students will arrive over the weekend to help with Freshman Orientation.
The freshmen have a detailed program that stretches through Thursday. The new Wabash men get their first lesson in "living humanely" Monday afternoon when they'll spread across the Wabash community to do service projects.
Classes begin for all students Thursday, August. 26.

The Opus – September 2009
Cleveland Recital Inaugurates Chapter.s New Program Year
Sunday, September 27, 2009
Douglas Cleveland
Douglas Cleveland Recital
Second Presbyterian Church
4501 Westminster Place
St. Louis, MO 63108
4:00 p.m. (Reception follows)
Andrew Peters
Due to the ongoing reconstruction of I-64/U.S. 40, specific directions are difficult.
. For those living south, it would be advisable to take a road leading to Kingshighway north.
. From west, Forest Park Expressway or Lindell Blvd. to reach Kingshighway might be appropriate.
From the intersection of Kingshighway and Lindell, go east on Lindell two blocks (second traffic light) to Taylor and turn north (left) on Taylor. Proceed north on Taylor; you will see the church on the corner of Westminster and Taylor. To reach the parking lot, turn left (west) on Westminster. The lot entrance is just past the church on the right.
Welcome back! We begin another exciting year of Guild programs with an organ recital at Second Presbyterian Church. Internationally known organist Douglas Cleveland will present what promises to be an exciting program. Douglas Cleveland is director of music and organist at Plymouth
Congregational Church, Seattle, Wash., where, in addition to playing, he directs three choirs and administers a concert series. He is also a visiting professor of music at the University of Washington in Seattle. During his career, Cleveland was assistant organist at The Church of St. Michael and St. George (Episcopal), in St. Louis.
He began organ study at age 13 with Jane Edge and later with Edward Hansen. He holds degrees from the Eastman School of Music and Indiana University where his teachers were Russell Saunders, Larry Smith and Marilyn Keiser. He also studied at the Haarlem Academy for Organists and, under a Lilly grant, advanced choral conducting at Douglas Cleveland Winchester Cathedral with David Hill.
In 1994, he won the American Guild of Organists National Young Artist Competition. He has played recitals throughout the United States, Europe and Australia and has recorded for the Gothic label. He has performed with noted symphony orchestras, including the St. Louis Symphony. He has also served as assistant professor of organ at Northwestern University and as a visiting faculty member at St. Olaf College.
Second Presbyterian Church was built in 1900. The building is a beautiful example of Romanesque Revival architecture and contains an exquisite collection of Tiffany windows. Second Presbyterian has a IV/60 Schantz with 3,307 pipes. The organ was installed in the church.s balcony 1965. To facilitate the concert, Cleveland.s console and pedal work will be projected on a screen in the front of the sanctuary.
Come join us for a first class recital in a beautiful space.

From the St. Louis Chapter Dean.
Food Channel or Stone Soup?
As we begin another program year, we look forward to an excellent slate of events prepared by Henry Evans and the Program Committee. You.ll see a complete listing of these activities on the following page. You.ll also find some ideas from Shawn Portell, our Professional Concerns chair, about what you can do to prepare and protect yourself in employment situations. This is all part of an ongoing effort to support you in doing your work.
To sum up my thinking and that of your representatives on the Executive Committee: We need you to think about your Chapter as less like the Food Channel and more like Stone Soup. On the Food Channel, wonderful things happen in that two-minute commercial break. Whole meals appear; tables are lavishly set. Sometimes a fully completed dish is waiting to be substituted magically for the final shot. Isn.t it wonderful how it all works out, with the viewer (and sometimes, it seems, the host!) barely lifting a finger?
Some AGO members view our organization just like that. Things need to be wrapped up in a neat package for them. We should do this or that. We should see that National does this or that. We should call their church and chew out their priest or senior minister. When it doesn.t happen, we.re asked, .Why did I even join this group?. The problem is, when you get right down to it, they don.t have a .we. concept. It.s a GUILD, it isn.t a union. There really is no.we. unless you intend to deposit something in the .We. bank. You can.t just make withdrawals, it isn.t designed that way.
Contrast that with the story of Stone Soup. The beggar entering the impoverished village starts with an empty pot, water, and a stone. The residents, at first claiming to have nothing themselves, become interested in the project and scrounge up the barest of ingredients . a tiny head of cabbage, a chunk of salt beef, potatoes, onions, carrots. Before you know it, there is a community united and a wonderful meal. That is more like how a Guild really functions. What .we. get out of it depends on what .we. put in.
We only have a newsletter like this because Wayne volunteers to do it year after year. Dennis and Denis keep our finances on track.a thankless job if ever there was one. It.s the same with Bill and the minutes, Al and the membership directory/mailing list, Cathy and all those dinner reservations (hint-hint, remember to make them!). We.ll have a POE next summer because Andy Peters said, .That.s how I began. I feel I should do it for someone else.. Forgive me but the danger of listing anyone is that I can.t list everyone. There are so many people who pitch in so selflessly. But, not surprisingly, there are many more who don.t. Let.s change that, little by little if need be.
Be a Stone-Soup-Contributor, not a Food-Channel-Spectator!
Your Executive Committee and Officers wish you the very best as you begin your fall season!
. Chuck Peery
Executive Committee Meetings Summaries
The Executive Committee of the St. Louis Chapter, American Guild of Organists met at Trinity Presbyterian Church on the following dates:
May 10, 2009
* There were no applications for scholarship assistance to the Kansas City POE. We have received official notification of St. Louis as a POE site for 2010, with the St. Louis Chapter as sponsor. Andrew Peters from Second Presbyterian Church has agreed to chair this event.
* The Professional Concerns chairman reminded the membership that the purpose of the AGO grievance process is to serve as a healing process and does not carry any legal or official arbitration authority. There are currently two cases of wrongful termination in review.
August 17, 2009
* The Dean extended a big note of appreciation to Norbert Krausz for organizing the program and to Christopher Moore of Centenary United Methodist Church for hosting the annual meeting and awards banquet in May. Marianne Webb, the Avis Blewett Award recipient, was very appreciative of the recognition and the engaging program.
* The Sub-Dean presented the final 2009-2010 program schedule for approval. The Program Committee has assembled a diverse, exciting and engaging schedule that will surely appeal to both current and prospective members.
Focus on Professional Concerns
Recently leaders of our chapter have had a variety of calls regarding .wrongful termination.. Your executive board thought that it might be helpful to members to outline the AGO.s rules and regulations regarding when to seek assistance for wrongful termination. This is a long process, so continue to look in this newsletter for an on-going discussion of the issues. For immediate and complete details you may go the National Web site to download the entire document called .AGO Grievance Procedures..
Examples of wrongful termination may include:
* Dismissal inconsistent with the existing employment agreement, the Institution.s personnel policy and/or past practice.
* Failure to communicate
* Discrimination
* Intimidation and harassment
* A record of good performance reviews followed by sudden termination
* Conduct that offends the Institution.s sense of fairness, e.g., .whistleblowing. wherein the employee has alerted the authorities to specific unlawful activity.
(AGO Grievance Procedures II.O)
Next month . examples of non-wrongful termination

SBHE Names Interim CTEC Director and Interim NDSCS President
Posted on 9/13/2006
For Immediate Release:
For More Information Contact:
Sept. 13, 2006
Debra A. Anderson, Director of Public Affairs
North Dakota University System
Phone: 701.328.2962
SBHE Names Interim CTEC Director and Interim NDSCS President
BISMARCK, N.D. - The State Board of Higher Education today announced the reassignment of Dr. Sharon Hart, president of North Dakota State College of Science, to interim executive director of the College Technical Education Council. The board also named Dr. John Richman, NDSCS vice president for academic and student affairs, as interim president of the community college in Wahpeton, N.D.
During board discussions, SBHE President John Q. Paulsen acknowledged Dr. Hart's accomplishments since becoming president of NDSCS in 2000.
"Dr. Hart has been required to make some difficult decisions for the benefit of NDSCS," Paulsen said. "Her performance evaluations have been excellent, and her reassignment to the CTEC position will allow the University System to continue to benefit from her knowledge and expertise."
Hart will resign her position as NDSCS president Sept. 15, 2006, and begin her CTEC duties Sept. 16, 2006. The CTEC position became vacant when Eddie Dunn, former CTEC executive director and vice chancellor for strategic planning, became chancellor of the North Dakota University System Aug. 4, 2006.
Hart will continue as interim executive director of CTEC until June 30, 2007, unless she resigns from the position at an earlier date. She will continue to be compensated according to the terms of her presidential contract, including an annual salary of $123,736, an annual $11,000 vehicle allowance and an annual $20,000 housing allowance, which now will include provision for a home office.
Richman will become interim president of NDSCS Sept. 16, 2006. He will continue his responsibilities as vice president for academic and student affairs. Richman served as interim vice president of instruction at NDSCS for one year before being named to his current position in May 2003.
"Dr. Richman's relationship with NDSCS began as a student there more than 30 years ago," Paulsen said. "He understands the college's rich past and has the vision and experience needed to guide NDSCS during this time of transition. The State Board of Higher Education looks forward to his leadership of this great institution."
Richman received a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from what is now Minnesota State University Moorhead and a doctorate in kinesiology from the University of Minnesota in 1991. Richman returned to NDSCS in 1986 as the head football coach and as an instructor in the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Department. His past experience includes three years as an athletic director, teacher and coach at Ada (Minn.) High School, three-plus years as an assistant football coach at MSU Moorhead and three years as an assistant football coach at the University of North Dakota.
Richman will receive an annual salary of $123,736, an annual $11,000 vehicle allowance and an annual $10,000 housing/hosting allowance. He will not become a candidate for the permanent position unless requested to do so by a search committee or the SBHE.

The Supreme Judicial Court sided with Regis College Tuesday in its long-running battle with the town of Weston over the college's plans to build a retirement community.
Regis wants to build a 362-unit luxury retirement community and seeks zoning protection under the so-called Dover Amendment, which bestows exemptions for educational facilities.
Weston has argued that the proposal is primarily a housing development and therefore not eligible for the zoning exemption. The college says its Regis East project would be an educational facility, where the residents, 55 and older, would be required to take at least two courses per semester. The housing would also create internships for Regis students in gerontology and social work.
In a decision released Tuesday, the SJC said that for Weston, the defendant, to win its summary judgment request, the town would have had to show that Regis "has no reasonable expectation'' of proving its claim. The SJC ruled that Weston did not meet that burden and remanded the case to Land Court.
A Land Court judge had previously ruled that Regis did not qualify for Dover protection.
"We are enormously gratified that the state's highest court has recognized that our proposed Regis East project, as conceptualized, is entitled to assert legal protection as an educational use under the Dover Amendment, and has remanded the case to the Land Court for further proceedings,'' Antoinette Hays, president of Regis, said in an e-mail. "Regis looks forward to engaging in discussions with town officials and the community in the prospect of moving forward collaboratively.''
The college did not specify when it would break ground, saying it would "pursue specific plans for its Regis East development once the Land Court processes are concluded.''Lisa Kocian can be reached at email@example.com.

User:Freqmod/Sidebar input
From Openmoko
Sidebar input is a non predictive input method. It uses a tree structure and places the characters at the edge of the screen. This leads to in avridge 3 taps per key. The speed is on par with the normal keyboard in FDOM and works well with thumb input.
If you want to input a w then you tap your finger in the cyan circle at the image below.
The bck=back and lk=lock keys are special. Back moved one level up, and lock make the method jump to that page when a key is clicked. If you click on lock again the method will return back to the root as normal. The lock is canceled when the back button is pressed.
If you want to test out the method on your phone install a distro with python and ecore_evas (FDOM, OM2008.9, FSO, SHR etc.), download it to your phone and run it. I haven't integrated it with illume yet (I am currently porting it from python to C) so you'll have to look at the output in the terminal to see what you have written.
