Geography Students Spend Winter Break in Cambodia
While winter break sent scores of college students scrambling for the comforts of home, UMW geography major Brian Brown spent his winter break out of the country for the very first time. He was one of seven UMW seniors in Cambodia as part of a three-and-a-half week study abroad program with Associate Professor of Geography Donald Rallis and Assistant Dean of Academic Services Amber Huffman, who is a geography graduate of UMW. The students chronicled their journeys through blog posts and social media, like Brown's description of his arrival in the country: A pop sounded from the rear of the car. The driver slowly pulled off the dusty and dark avenue to assess the situation. A haze hung in the air, tinted blue by a sign for a cheap hotel. The back tire was flat. I waited, watching motorcycles drift by at a carefree pace, while my first Cambodian acquaintance worked to get us back on the road. The winter break program, offered for the first time at Mary Washington, is one of … [Read more...]

Where Great Minds Get Creative
Fourteen students recently sat in a circle in a University of Mary Washington classroom, framed by the view of falling leaves outside the large window. Some students rested their hands on laptops, others opted for the traditional stacks of papers and books. A handful of reusable water bottles and half-empty coffee cups decorated the otherwise sparse table. With the precision of scientists and the careful eye of artists, the group spent nearly an hour dissecting the original work of two students in the class. The professor sat in the circle with the students, guiding the discussion at forks in the road, careful not to dictate the direction. Once the critique drew to a close, applause erupted, as if to pay homage to the artistic endeavor. The scene offered a glimpse into the intricate creative writing process where tone, structure and narrative reign. "We never get to see writers in the act of writing, the way we can with actors or musicians or dancers," said Colin … [Read more...]

A POTENTIAL vaccine against HIV has produced encouraging results at a laboratory in Paris. Two chimpanzees, each of which received different but related inoculations, appear to be free of the virus six months after French researchers deliberately infected them with it. But Marc Girard, the deputy director of the Pasteur Institute, who led the team, warns that many obstacles remain before the experiments can be called a success.
'It's a fantastic step forward,' Girard said, 'but I cannot claim today that we have complete protection.' He announced his results last week at a conference in Chamonix organised by the French medical research council, INSERM, on Public Health and Sexually Transmitted Diseases. About 200 researchers from 18 countries were present. Girard will submit the work to the journal Science for publication.
The search for a vaccine against HIV has so far eluded scientists, partly because the virus mutates rapidly and - ...

Murder in Battle Creek: The Mysterious Death of Daisy Zick (True Crime)
Item Description
On a bitterly cold morning in January 1963, Daisy Zick was brutally murdered in her Battle Creek home. No fewer than three witnesses caught a glimpse of the killer, yet today, it remains one of Michigan's most sensational unsolved crimes. The act of pure savagery rocked not only the community but also the Kellogg Company, where she worked. Here, Blaine Pardoe artfully takes the reader into this true crime thriller. Utilizing long-sealed police files and interviews with the surviving investigators, the true story of the investigation can finally be told. Who were the key suspects? What evidence does the police still have on this five-decades-old cold case? Just how close did this murder come to being solved? Is the killer still alive? These questions and more are masterfully brought to the forefront for true crime fans and armchair detectives.

By Benito Vila
Mathematics makes a difference in softball. Like baseball, it's called a game of inches for the tiny margins between safe and out, fair and foul.
But there's more than just spatial geometry involved. Batting averages, runs scored, RBIs, errors, walks, wins and losses all provide a paradise for the statistically inclined.
And at each season's close, there are "magic numbers": the number of wins and losses needed to secure playoff spots for some and eliminate others. With four teams vying for two spots going into the last week of play, the calculations of who was in or out were mind-boggling.
As always happens though, things were worked out on the field. Last night Sag Harbor Liquors (15-2) locked up the one seed, thrashing T&S Mott 13-2. Home runs by Jeff Hand and Brian Anderson gave Liquors a 6-0 lead in the second and three late-game misplays in right allowed Liquors to coast to the regular season title. The loss leaves Mott (14-3) as the two seed.
On Wednesday, Southampton Publick House swept a doubleheader from Decker's Scrubs, securing the three seed for the pubsters and making the Scrubs the four seed. Losses by Pilinko Plumbing and Heating on Monday and Beyel Plumbing and Heating on Tuesday eliminated those teams and added some drama to Decker and Publick House twin bill.
But Publick House put up big numbers, taking game one, 16-0, and game two, 26-11, to gain the head-to-head tie-breaker over Decker and take the higher seed. Publick House pitcher Kristen Bartoldos said she was "on her game" in shutting out the Scrubs on five hits.
Three home runs by Bruce Sanders made her night easier. Sanders came on to pitch in the second game and saw C.J. Shank and Brant Reiner each hammer two over the fence in another run-away win.
The playoff semi-finals are scheduled to start Monday in Mashashimuet Park, Liquors hosting Decker at 7 p.m. and Mott taking on Publick House late. Those games switch for Tuesday, Monday's late teams coming in early and the early teams late. After an off-day Wednesday, next Thursday will see either game three of the semis or game one of the best-of-five finals.
Standings and This Weeks' Re-cap
The final standings had Liquors' 15-2 finish putting them on top, Mott at 14-3 in second. Publick House was third at 9-9 with Decker fourth at 9-8, with Publick House's owning the head-to-head tie-breaker pushing them ahead. Beyel, at 7-11, Pilinko, at 5-12, and the Sag Harbor Hysterical Society, at 2-16, are already looking to next year.
With rain once again interfering with the schedule last Thursday, games with playoff implications were re-scheduled first this week. That set up a match-up between Beyel and Decker early on Monday that Beyel took 29-16, the umpire suggesting a blocked punt had something to do with outcome.
Sean Beyel credited the win to good team play, saying, "Everybody contributed. It wasn't just one guy. It was hits and walks up and down the order." Every run was needed, especially after a two-run homer by the Scrubs' Cory Cass and a grand slam from Frank Romeo made the score 24-16 in the sixth. Only fine defensive plays by Ike Birdsall in right and Noah Feinberg at second kept Decker from coming all the way back.
In the top of the seventh, a three-run shot by Chris Gregory and a line drive dinger by Vic Fehrm bought Beyel some breathing room. Two more "web gems" by Craig Berkoski at short and Jon Loren in center in the bottom of the seventh finally gave Beyel pitcher Mike D'Angelo the win.
Elimination Games
In the late game Monday, Publick House outscored Pilinko 22-7. A 12-run third proved to be too much for Pilinko, the loss eliminating them from the playoffs. Two-run homers by Publick House's catcher Shank and first baseman Scott Green set off the rally, breaking open a 6-5 game. Shank ended the rout with a walk-off home run in the sixth.
Beyel saw its post-season dream dashed Tuesday in a 19-4 loss to Liquors. A pair of two-run homers by Brian Anderson and a grand slam from Andy Tuthill gave Liquors 9-4 lead going into the seventh, before a 10-run barrage ended the game.
Publick House's 14-5 loss to Mott in the late game Tuesday mattered little to the standings but made last night's Decker-Publick House match-up much more meaningful. In getting the win, pitcher Bob Burden scattered 10 hits while Mott made the most of their 16. Keith Schulmann, Brendan Mott and Mike Lyons all legged out triples for Mott. A single by Sean Mott gave his team a 4-3 lead in the fifth and set off a five-run rally.
More Math
The most statistically improbable game occurred in last Wednesday's early game, Liquors hammering the Hysterical Society 33-1. Liquors' Joe Sullivan went six-for-six with five home runs and a double, knocking in an astounding 16 runs.
In the late game, Beyel built an early 10-3 lead over Publick House only to see it slip away. Publick House scored four in the bottom of the seventh to take the game, 13-12, with Logan Kirby tying the score with a two-out single to center and Danny Rowe driving in the go-ahead run.

We'll give you a moment to ogle the pictures above.
Ready? Good. It's the brand new Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Roadster; an Aston that uses the excellent recipe of small car, bloody huge engine and rear-wheel-drive. And as you can see, it's a pretty, squat little thing. It's also really bloody fast.
Well, fast for an Aston, anyway. It's basically the V12 Vantage S without a roof, and in doing so becomes the fastest-accelerating Aston Roadster ever built. In fact, why not have a listen to it accelerate?

'Extant' series premiere: Why Halle Berry said 'yes' to TVAdd to Favorites | Extant
Halle Berry doesn't say "yes" to television work every day, but Steven Spielberg is a powerful lure.
The Oscar-winning actress stars in the executive producer's home-screen latest project as CBS debuts the sci-fi thriller series "Extant" Wednesday (July 9). No one connected to the show seems to mind any thematic references to last year's Oscar-winning movie "Gravity" as Berry plays another woman in space, this one newly returned home from a yearlong solo mission ... but with a very unexpected development.
She discovers she's pregnant, and if she's confounded by the news, so are loved ones including her husband (Goran Visnjic, "ER") and a doctor friend (Camryn Manheim, "The Practice"). Also factoring into the story is the married couple's humanoid son (Pierce Gagnon), who's at the crux of a scientific debate over what constitutes a soul.
Michael O'Neill ("Bates Motel"), Hiroyuki Sanada, Annie Wersching ("24") and Meryl Streep's daughter Grace Gummer ("The Newsroom") are among other "Extant" cast members.
"I'm a fan of sci-fi, but I'm even more a fan of Steven Spielberg sci-fi, which is more supernatural," Berry tells Zap2it. "I love that this show is rooted solidly in strong characters before you get into the otherworldly aspects. You first get to know this family, and I think it's a beautiful set-up for what's to come as we get further and further into the series."
Indeed, "Extant" is based on Earth for a number of its initial scenes before the first flashback-cued sighting of a space station. Berry deems her character, Molly, "an everyday woman. Sure, she has an extraordinary job - I'm not suggesting that people go into space in a pedestrian way - but at the end of the day, she's fighting for what every woman would fight for, and that's her baby. No matter what that is, it's hers, and it's part of her."
"Extant" was created by another of the series' executive producers, Mickey Fisher, who had written the pilot simply on spec. He acknowledges that the success Spielberg, his Amblin Television firm and CBS had with "Under the Dome" last summer "really opened the door for us.
"I'd carried the idea around in my head in different versions," Fisher notes. "At one point, it was going to be a one-person play. Then about three years ago, I moved out to L.A. go try to break into TV, and I did the thing they always tell you to do as a writer: 'Write the show that you would want to watch.' "
Enter Spielberg, who became a patron of "Extant" early on. "Even just the possibility that he would read it at all," Fisher reflects, "that the most successful filmmaker of all time was going to read something I wrote, that in and of itself is a surreal thought. Then to hear that he liked it and that it was going forward ... I tell people that I sat and stared at a wall for 15 minutes, trying to wrap my head around it."
The executive producers of "Extant" also came to include showrunner Greg Walker, a veteran of series including "Vegas" and "The X-Files." He reasons, "We learned a lot from watching Steven Spielberg as kids. All those movies have family elements that are deeply embedded in the mythology of the storytelling. Its like playing with a really great tennis player when we pitch him ideas; if you hit a really good, hard shot, he'll return it and elevate your game."
The fact that "Extant" tackles big issues within a science-fiction wrapping was another major appeal for Berry.
"That's one of the reasons I love being a part of the 'X-Men' movie series as well," she says. "It puts those social questions out there. This one addresses nature vs. nurture, and what it is to be human - can we teach a machine to have human qualities and to love? This show is so layered, and not just in being set 30 years in the future. It deals with issues we face today, for sure."
(An interesting note: Though the end credits on broadcast series now tend to fly by at breakneck speed, eagle-eyed viewers may notice a Malia Obama listed as an "Extant" production assistant. For anyone who might wonder, yes, it is THAT Malia Obama.)
"Extant" is not Berry's first television series, though one has to go back quite a way for that. It was "Living Dolls," a 1989 ABC spinoff of "Who's the Boss?" about young fashion models. After establishing her film stardom, she returned to TV in the HBO drama "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge" (which earned her an Emmy, among many other awards) and the Oprah Winfrey-backed ABC projects "The Wedding" and "Their Eyes Were Watching God."
"To me, some of the best writing is on television," Berry maintains, "and I love the turns that it's taken. I also love that it's quickly becoming no division between film actors and TV actors. It's becoming OK to go wherever the good writing is, wherever the great characters and storytelling are ... and if truth be told, it's becoming a lot easier for people to see your work on television."
The owner of a best actress Oscar for 2001's "Monster's Ball," Berry calls the movie world "a hazy place to me right now. It's hard to understand which films are able to get made, and what moviegoers who actually go out and buy tickets really want to see. I think television is becoming an important medium for actors who just want to work. And do good work."

'Modern Family' leads the way in comedy, followed by women-centered breakouts
"Mad Men," a piercingly bleak portrait of a 1960s American anti-hero, earned a leading 17 Emmy nominations Thursday and the chance to set a record as the most-honored drama in television history.
AMC's "Mad Men," which has won four best drama series trophies and is tied with "Hill Street Blues," "L.A. Law" and "The West Wing," received a fifth bid in the category.
"It's insane. I can't believe it," said "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner. "I can't believe we are on the air. I can't believe that people don't call AMC A&E anymore. I'm so proud of the network."
The miniseries "American Horror Story," a nightmarish saga about a haunted house, received a matching 17 awards, including an acting nod for star Connie Britton.
Other leading nominees include the elegant British-born soap opera "Downton Abbey," which earned 16 bids, and two miniseries, "Hatfields & McCoys," with 16, and "Hemingway & Gellhorn" with 15.
"Modern Family," honored as best comedy series for the past two years, was the sitcom leader with 14 bids and practically ran the table in supporting actor nods, but the category also saw an infusion of girl power.
Breakout comedies with women at their center — in fashion after the box-office success of "Bridesmaids" — proved alluring to Emmy voters.
"Girls," creator-star Lena Dunham's darkly comedic coming-of-age New York story, received a best comedy nod and acting, writing and directing nominations for her. Zooey Deschanel's offbeat charm in "New Girl" earned her an acting bid.
"I have had the shriekiest morning of my life," said Dunham, as she arrived on set to shoot the second season of "Girls." "I literally feel like I got asked to the prom and engaged and told I was going to the moon all in one day. Not to be too dramatic."
Melissa McCarthy, who appeared in "Bridesmaids," has a chance to repeat last year's victory as best comedy actress winner for "Mike & Molly."
Emmy darling Julia Louis-Dreyfus, with past wins for "Seinfeld" and "New Adventures of Old Christine," earned an acting nod for "Veep," which received a best comedy nomination.
Betty White, 90, brought her brand of female empowerment to the nominations, earning two nominations — best reality series host nod for "Betty White's Off Their Rockers" and best variety special for "Betty White's 90th Birthday: A Tribute to America's Golden Girl."
Top nominations were announced by Kerry Washington of "Scandal" and by Jimmy Kimmel, who will host the awards and who filled in Thursday for Nick Offerman of "Parks and Recreation," held up by weather-related travel delays on the East Coast.
The Emmy ceremony is scheduled to air on ABC on Sept. 23.
Academy voters paid tribute to the late Kathryn Joosten, who received a supporting actress bid for her role as Wisteria Lane neighbor Karen McClusky in "Desperate Housewives." Joosten, who had won two Emmys for the role, died in June of lung cancer.
The other show's stars failed to make the Emmy cut for its eighth and final season. Hugh Laurie, whose show "House" also wrapped after eight years, didn't get a last shot at winning a trophy for his cranky Dr. House.

A major water main break left most residents of the city of Mascoutah without water for several hours Tuesday. City crews were able to fix the break, but city residents who live south of Illinois 161 will need to boil the water for 48 hours -- through Thursday afternoon.
The only residents and businesses not affected are those north of 161, including MidAmerica Airport and the Huddle House.
About 10 a.m. Tuesday, a 10-inch water line leaving the pump station that feeds the city's water ruptured at the intersection of Railway and Poplar streets. The tower regulates water pressure in the city, according to City Manager Cody Hawkins.
It took water department workers about four and a half hours to repair the break.
Initially, Hawkins estimated 10 hours to complete the job. But he said that was a "worst-case scenario. The guys did a good job," he said of city employees.
Hawkins said the water line break likely was caused by the city's increase in water pressure, which resulted in the old cast iron pipe bursting.
The city of Mascoutah has been replacing old water pipes throughout the city.
"We've replaced about 95 percent of the cast iron lines in the city over the past several years, and we've had a lot less breaks because of it," Hawkins said. "But this is one that we hadn't got to yet."
The Mascoutah pool was closed Tuesday as a result of the water main break. Hawkins said the pool will reopen at 11 a.m. Wednesday.

text: The Anna Williams wiki last edited by Renchamp on 07/05/14 05:57AM View full history OriginAnna Williams A flirtatious Irish assassin, Anna Williams is one of two daughters fathered by Richard Williams. Her sister being Nina Williams. As a child, Anna was taught to fight by her mother, and Nina by her father. While Anna was taught Aikido by her mother, Nina was taught and trained to be an assassin, and in doing so gained the affection of her father, while he would neglect Anna, thus spawning the epic rivalry that would ensue between Anna and Nina. Anna learned her Aikido techniques from her mother, who was a national Aikido champion. Her father, Richard Williams, taught Nina assassination techniques, but neglected to teach them to Anna. Due to the hatred spawned from the jealousy of Nina and her fathers relationship, Anna entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament in order to battle her sister. During the second Iron Fist Tournament Anna is personally hired by Kazuya Mishima to act as his bodyguard alongside other skilled and competitive fighters Bruce Irvin and sumo fighter Ganryu. At the end of the second King of the Iron Fist Tournament Anna's sister Nina was placed into a Cryogenic Sleep project headed up by genius and world renown scientist Doctor Boskonovitch. Whether it be because of sibling rivalry or some form of sisterly bond, Anna volunteers to undergo the experimental treatment granted the condition that she would be reanimated at the same time as her sister. 19 years pass with both sisters in suspended animation, before they are awoken by energies unleashed by the god of fighting Ogre. Psychically manipulated and compelled by Ogre to resume assassination, Nina Williams now an amnesiac was prompted to kill her new target, Jin Kazama, son of her former assassination target Kazuya Mishima. Anna without ill side effects from the cryogenic sleep attempts to aid her sister by stopping her from this new outside influence. At a later date Nina seeks to try to recover many of her lost memories and so arranges a meeting with Anna. The two end up fighting somewhat typically however in a gunfight that lasts over multiple days. Anna eventually affiliates herself with the G Corporation. CreationAnna Defeated Anna Williams is a Namco Bandai character. Anna is first introduced in the popular fighting video game franchise Tekken, debuting in the first incarnation of the game, Tekken released in 1994. She makes her first appearance in a comic book with the Namco Bandai produced comic book Tekken Forever #1. She has appeared in all but one of the Tekken video games, but is usually featured alongside her sister Nina in most other products and promo material associated with the fighting game franchise. Although they are sisters, Anna and Nina were designed to have very differently personalities and looks. In comparison to Nina's cold, efficient stoic personality, Anna is rather salacious and seductive, appearing to be not above using her looks and body and sex appeal for gain. Much of Anna and Nina's history and past together was explored in the spin of game Death by Degrees in which Anna appears in more combat orientated wear and gear. Powers and AbilitiesAnna Williams is a skilled hand to hand fighter and martial artist. Taught at a very early age a number of martial arts, as she grew, she refined her abilities to best suit her purpose. She mainly utilizes a personalized modified style based in and from the martial art styles Aikido and Koppo. Her mother was a champion Akido fighter. Anna often utilizes a bazooka.

A Yakuza assassin, she has a sexual relationship with heir to the Mishima Corporation, Kazuya Mishima. Alongside her sister Nina, the two sisters are employed to assassinate up and coming fighter Jin Kazama because of the danger he presents to Kazuya. However they are unable to succeed with their efforts, Jin and fellow fighter Christie Monteiro fighting them off. Tekken: The Motion Picture (1998) Anna Williams appears in the 1998 animated movie Tekken: The Motion Picture. Her Japanese voice actress is Kaori Yamagata, and she is voiced by Claire Hamilton in the English release. Hired by Lee Chaolan, as well as her sister, their mission is to eliminate Kazuya Mishima, Lee bothered by Kazuya's status as a living blood descendent of Heihachi Mishima, Lee only related by adoption. Anna and Lee's arrangement is more than defined by business as the two engage in romantic liaisons, and despite initially hiring her, Nina becomes a target of both as Anna starts to proactively asassinate her sister as well as her main target Kazuya. Nina and Anna face off directly but Anna seems to be killed, by several genetically enhanced dinosaur creatures roaming Mishima island. Tekken: Blood Vengeance (2011) Anna Williams appears in the 3D computer-animated film Tekken: Blood Vengeance released in 2011. Anna is voiced by Akeno Watanabe in the original Japanese release and by American voice actor Tara Platt in the English version. Set between the events of tekken 5 and Tekken 6, Anna features among a cast of iconic Tekken characters which includes her sister and main nemesis Nina Williams. The two oppose each other throughout the movie, as Anna Williams works for G Corporation headed by Kazuya Mishma, whilst her sister Nina works for Mishima Zaibatsu headed up by Jin Kazama. Both generations of Mishima are looking and searching for a way to unlock the secrets of the M Gene. Anna manipulates school girl Ling Xiaoyu to act as a spy to mysterious student Shin Kamiya who appears to have some special connection to the M Gene. Nina and Anna both clash in the movie, although there is no real winner between the two.

DJ Hero 2 will have a range of new multiplayer modes, freestyle gameplay, and full microphone support, Activision said today. The megapublisher also said that the rhythm game will feature over 90 pop, dance, and hip-hop artists among its lineup. These will include Metallica, Kanye West, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and The Chemical Brothers. The artists will provide more than 70 tracks between them.
Speaking about the new gameplay, Activision said it would feature, "freestyle scratching, cross fading and sampling." On top of the new creative options, the company also revealed that DJ Hero 2 will feature a new single-player Career mode, in which players works their way up from struggling DJ to media mogul.
Multiplayer in DJ Hero is also getting something of a makeover. Several new multiplayer modes are promised, including DJ Battles and Party Play. Party Play will feature vocalists with "integrated onscreen singing and rapping of lyrics and rhymes."
The game, which will be out "this autumn," will come in a variety of bundles. This includes a "party in a box" set that comprises a copy of the game, two turntables, and a microphone, as well as a single-turntable bundle and a version without accessories.
DJ Hero 2 was first confirmed in January by Activision CEO Bobby Kotick. While the critical reception for DJ Hero was generally positive, sales were disappointing, though Activision claimed it was the most successful new intellectual property of 2009 in terms of revenue.

Is a gynecologist the same as a regular doctor that you go to for checkups? Or do you need to have two different doctors?
- Raissa
Gynecologists and primary care doctors specialize in different things.
Gynecologists are trained to focus on women's health issues. Primary care doctors (also sometimes called "general practitioners") are the doctors we see for regular checkups and immunizations, and when we're not feeling well. Family medicine doctors, internists, and pediatricians are all primary care doctors.
Some primary care doctors provide routine gynecological care like breast and pelvic exams, but others don't. It all depends on the doctor. Primary care doctors who do provide gynecological care may still refer patients to gynecologists for more specific care if they think it's needed.
Ask your primary care doctor if she or he does routine gynecological exams. If not, ask for the name of a gynecologist.

Well, looks like you got it wrong again. You say that it is a good thing that plankton with carbonate shells fall to the depths of the sea because it locks carbon away, and that if global warming hinders the growth of the plankton, this will be bad for the absorption of carbon dioxide by the sea (9 July, p 15). But when carbonates are formed in the sea, CO2 is released. Two bicarbonate ions give one carbonate and one CO2.

AN ADVANCED hi-fi system that allows music on CDs to be stored and digitally recopied could destroy a long-standing agreement between the recording industry and electronics companies.
Domestic digital recorders such as CD recorders can copy an original music CD, but under the agreement they are not supposed to be able to make a copy of a copy. Now an Edinburgh-based company, Memory Corporation, has come up with a system that breaches this principle by copying CDs onto a disc drive, and then allows them to be copied from there into the memory built into a personal stereo.
MP3-GO is the umbrella name for a complementary pair of units planned by the company. One of them, called the Music Store, is a combined CD player and 4-gigabyte hard disc that can record up to 100 CDs in the digital MP3 format. The Music Store can be connected to a hi-fi ...

Christine Dell'Amore, National Geographic News, April 3, 2012
"Last seen in 1949, the 1.3-inch-long (3.2-centimeter-long) amphibian was found during a December 2011 biodiversity survey in the small central African country of Burundi, scientists announced in March.
Thwarted by decades of political conflict, few biologists have so far been able to explore Burundi's ecosystems.
"The last time this species was seen was the first time this species was seen--that's the state of our knowledge in this little corner of Africa," said team member David Blackburn, a herpetologist at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco."

Real Zaragoza ended a disappointing run of two straight defeats with a batting 1-1 draw on the road at Sporting Gijon in Thursday's sole Primera Division encounter.
Zaragoza made the trip to Asturias looking to bounce back following successive defeats to Sevilla and Real Valladolid, and came away with a hard-earned point thanks to Abel Aguilar's second-half equaliser.
Sporting came into the match full of confidence after an impressive 2-2 draw at Valencia last week despite playing for over an hour with only ten men, and took the lead when Diego Castro fired home a superb long-range effort. The point leaves Sporting in mid-table with five points from their opening four matches, while Zaragoza are up to 15th.
Both sides had early shots across the bows of their opponents with Sporting's Luis Moran lobbing over inside three minutes while Zaragoza's Javier Arizmendi let fly from the edge of the area two minutes later but the effort was always rising. Zaragoza began to boss the play as the half progressed with Francisco Pavon heading just wide from a corner after 13 minutes and Arizmendi again setting his sights from distance but this time his effort was blocked by Gregory Arnolin.
The breakthrough came somewhat against the run of play after 29 minutes thanks to a moment of brilliance by Castro, who picked the ball up 25 yards from goal and curled a delightful effort into the top-left corner of Juan Carrizo's net. The hosts were happy to sit on their lead as half-time approached, snuffing out Zaragoza's attacks in the midfield and limiting the visitors to hopeful long-range efforts as Sporting went in at the interval still in the lead.
Zaragoza came out fired up after the break, however, and quickly got back on level terms. Jorge Lopez was the architect of the goal, his inswinging corner from the right sitting up perfectly for Aguilar to nod home powerfully into the bottom-right corner of the net.
Arnolin came close to restoring Sporting's lead after 73 minutes when he rose to win a header in the area but could only direct his effort straight into the arms of the grateful Carrizo. Zaragoza turned up the wick in the final 20 minutes as they scented their second win of the season, first Lopez going close from 20 yards with an effort that flew just wide while Marko Babic spurned a glorious opening after 78 minutes when he blazed over from six yards out.
There was still time for the hosts to carve out one final chance to claim all three points, but when opportunity knocked for Diego Camacho after 81 minutes he could only fire straight at Carrizo from the edge of the area.

Testing, Wiring Diagram, Operation & Troubleshooting for 94-96; "The air bag diagnostic monitor (14B056) continually monitors all supplemental air bag restraint system components and wiring connections for possible faults in the system. If the air bag diagnostic monitor detects a fault in the supplemental air bag restraint system when the key is in RUN, a diagnostic trouble code will be displayed on the air bag indicator, located in the instrument cluster (10849). Performing system diagnostics is the main purpose of the air bag diagnostic monitor. Note: The air bag diagnostic monitor does not deploy the air bag in the event of a crash. The LH and RH primary crash sensors are hard wired to the air bag; therefore, the LH and RH primary crash sensors and RH safing sensor and bracket sensor (also called the Rear Air Bag Sensor) determine when to deploy the air bag. Features and functions of the air bag diagnostic monitor are described below. * The air bag diagnostic monitor illuminates the air bag indicator for approximately six seconds when the key is in RUN and then turns the indicator off. This shows that the air bag indicator is operational. If the air bag indicator does not illuminate or the indicator stays on or flashes at any time, a fault has been detected by the air bag diagnostic monitor. * Diagnostic trouble codes may not be displayed for approximately 30 seconds after the key is placed in RUN. This is the amount of time the air bag diagnostic monitor requires to perform all tests and verify system faults, if present. * Each diagnostic trouble code (a series of flashes and pauses of the air bag indicator) represents a two-digit number. Each diagnostic trouble code is always displayed at least twice. For example, a diagnostic trouble code 32 is displayed as three flashes, followed by a one-second pause, then two flashes, followed by a three-second pause. * If a system fault is present and the air bag indicator is malfunctioning, an audible tone will be heard, indicating that system service is required. The tone is a series of five sets of five beeps. This does not indicate a diagnostic trouble code 55. If the tone is heard, the air bag indicator is inoperative and a system fault that requires service is present. CAUTION: The thermal fuse does not blow (open) because of excessive current flowing through it. DO NOT attempt to jumper out the thermal fuse with a circuit breaker or any other type of fuse. * If a fault exists that makes unwanted air bag deployment possible, the air bag diagnostic monitor has an internal thermal fuse that will blow (open) automatically. This removes all power to the air bag deployment circuit. * The air bag indicator will flash the appropriate diagnostic trouble code to indicate the suspect circuit. If the indicator is malfunctioning the tone will be heard. * Diagnostic trouble codes are prioritized numerically so if two or more different faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest priority will be displayed first. After that fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will be displayed. * The air bag diagnostic monitor includes an internal backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy the air bag in the event the battery or battery cables are damaged in an accident before safing and primary crash sensors close. The backup power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after the positive battery cable is disconnected.

A multi-disciplinary approach to research in Terrestrial and Marine Tropical Ecology are conducted between a consortium of scientists and researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, and Real Jardin Botanico de Madrid These organizations and an international body of visiting scientists and students use the marine lab facilities and experimental farm to conduct primary and applied research in the fields of tropical island ecology, marine biology, physical oceanography, marine biogeochemistry, aquaculture, genetics, molecular biology, herpetology, botany, ornithology, entomology, ecosystem conservation, island biogeography, geology, fisheries management, tropical forest ecology, agro-forestry, veterinary science, and organic agriculture.
Current areas of marine research at the Liquid Jungle include plankton community dynamics and marine larval ecology and transport, modeling internal waves and benthic structure, coral community architecture and diversity, synoptic chemical mapping, invasive sessile invertebrate species, mangrove and estuarine watersheds, and the effects of natural and anthropogenic nutrient input on primary production and fisheries along Pacific coastal zones.
The local fauna includes a long list of avian species such as toucans (Ramphastos sulfuratus), owls (Pulsatrix perspicillata) humming birds (Hylocharys elicieae, Phaetornis superciliosus), manakins (Chiroxiphia lanceolata) pelicans and a plethora of other marine birds. Many mammals, unique to Central America inhabit the island such as howler monkeys (Allouatta palliata, and the endemic Coiba species ), capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus) coatis (Nasua narica), raccoons (Procyon cancrivorus), pacas (Agouti paca), agoutis or nueques (Dasyprocta sp), tayras (Eira barbara), bats (Glossophaga soricina &Carollia castanea) sloths (Bradypus variegatus) margays (Leopardus wiedii) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Besides the thousands of species of plants and insects endemic to this region of the tropical Americas, many reptile and amphibian species are also found on the island. Even occasionally the rare jungle cat (Leopardus pardalis) is spotted in the dense jungle surrounding nearby Bahia Honda and Pixvae. In 2004 botanists, herpetologists, entomologists, ornithologists, and biologists convened to create the first comprehensive catalog of tropical plants, reptiles, insect, birds, and mammal diversity of this Pacific Coastal region.
In order to understand oceanic and atmospheric coupling, and the potential effects of these phenomena on ocean life, scientists must collect time series data which measure weather patterns, ocean circulation and sea water chemistry. PLUTO is a fiber-optic cabled observatory deployed in January 2006 in approximately 18 m of water 1.5 km to the south west of Isla de Canales de Tierra. The observatory consists of sensors for salinity, temperature, pressure, water current speed and direction, chlorophyll, turbidity, oxygen, down-welling light at two depths, an array of temperature sensors. A remotely controlled, high definition pan and tilt underwater camera displays rapid image updates of the benthic habitat surrounding the PLUTO sensors. The data are distributed via satellite back to WHOI and made available on the web (http://4dgeo.whoi.edu/panama/).

Druid of the Talon: Update 10/23/06
Surprise! It's a cow.
I play WoW regularly ;d and felt I should do some fanart for it. Any critiques anyone wants to give before I attempt coloring it would be awesome.
Edit: As per Stephanie's suggestion, I straightened her back a bit to hopefully make it look more like she's leaning back against that rock.

You have some very expressive line work here - despite the many many detailed and intricate lines, your thicker holding line is helping to keep things nice and clear. Also, nice circular compostion with the wind/magic wisps there!
I like the overhead perspective, but it looks as though she's leaning back... is she? If not, there would be some overlapping of forms if we were looking down on her... like on the legs there... but if you color this and add a shadow on her back, it would clarify if she is leaning.

Okay. I've started coloring, and I like the color scheme. But I'm not so great with backgrounds, and this one seems so boring. Any ideas on how to liven it up a bit? I was thinking about putting in one of those cartoony battle scenes made mostly out of silhouettes or something, but I have no idea how to make one of those. So any ideas and critiques on coloring would be awesome ;3 I'll start working on details once I can flesh out the background more.
Thanks ahead of time for any comments!

Hi rosethorn,
nice image you've got here. Two things:
One- the BG you suggested- the silhouette battle scene- given the perspective you've set up for this figure, sort of a 3/4 down angle, I don't think this kind of BG would work unless it's far below- and I don't think you want to complicate the circular composition with all that detail. You might consider doing a couple of muted bodies lieing around her... but personally I think just putting her in a "wind tunnel" kind of things works just fine.
Two- Her left (our right) hand-- the color of the stone and that of the hand is too near IMHO- I would change the stone because at this point her hand and it are hard to distinguish.
Great job so far, overall. Want to see where it goes! Keep it up!

Still working on coloring, got most of the main flats done, and some of the shading. But I was experimenting with the layer styles and tried turning the tauren's coloring on overlay, and it had this effect I rather liked. So I was wondering what other people thought.

Community groups are working to 'Reclaim The Promise' we made to future generations to provide a strong, well funded, high quality public education.
The national debate on education reform rages on everyday, in every school district, in every state across the country. Some say that schools are failing our children, while others say the schools are failing our children. No that is not a typo, both sides are essentially saying the same thing; we need to fix our broken education system to provide a better education for our future generations.
The major differences erupt when both sides offer their solutions to fixing our broken education system. Those 'fiscally conservative' politicians on the right blame teachers unions and bad teachers, and suggest we eliminate public schools for private charter schools. Proponents of public schools see the problem stems from a lack of community support.
American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, has been outspoken about the attacks on public schools and this idea that privatization is the only option to help our public schools. In recent phone interview Weingarten stated, "Austerity cuts are starving our public schools."
Karen Schow is special education teacher working in Boise, Idaho. She has seen these austerity cuts directly affecting her students. Due to budget cuts, Schow is now the only special education teacher in her entire school. She works with multiple special needs students including students with Down's syndrome, all alone. Just last year the school had two full time special education teachers, but the school cut that down to one. "These cuts are hurting my kids," Schow told me in a phone interview. "Politicians are short changing not only my students but students across the state."
Kia Hinton is parent and outspoken public school advocate from Philadelphia. Hinton highlighted how "Pennsylvania's Governor Tom Corbett, cut over one billion dollars from the state's education budget". This forced dozens of school closures, mostly in areas that directly effect children of color. Areas that are already struggling to fight poverty, violence, and other community issues.
Closing public schools makes it harder for working families. Schools are farther away, underfunded, and overcrowded. These cuts hurt the children the most.
Hinton talked about how some of the schools in her area no longer have a school librarian if they are still lucky enough to have a library at all. They have also cut art programs and music classes, which are necessary for a well-rounded education.
Weingarten said that, "politicians are pushing to ensure that public schools are failing to open the door to their alternative ideas". Their alternatives include; charter schools, privatized schools, or to just close the school entirely. Politicians have been pushing for privatized for-profit charter schools, yet these charter schools are failing to meet the needs of their communities.
Just like in Philadelphia, Chicago and Kansas City as closing public schools to open private for-profit charter schools. John Jackson President and CEO of The Schott Foundation for Public Education said, "Corporations are making profits on the backs of our students." Not only are they making money on our children, they are taking your tax dollars to bolster their profits. Yet there these for-profit charter schools are not preforming any better than their public counterparts in the same area.
Lora McDonald a social worker and the Executive Director of More2 said these for-profit schools failing in Kansas City. McDonald said that four of these for-profit charter schools have closed in the last year. McDonald said that not only are the charter schools failing, "kids in public schools have continually out-preformed those in charter schools."
The American Federation of Teachers, The National Education Association, other unions and community groups are working to 'Reclaim the Promise' that we have made to our future generation by provide a high quality public education.
Everyone deserves his or her chance to reach the American Dream. For many this dream has become more of a myth, completely unattainable. Weingarten spoke to how a strong public education is crucial to reaching the American Dream. Weingarten stated, "This is a movement to reclaim public education."
Talking about 'Reclaiming the Promise,' John Jackson stated, "Public education is strong at and it works. Want to make sure it works for all children. Public education is the foundation for economic prosperity for millions of Americans."
This is why communities are rallying behind the need to 'Reclaim The Promise'.
- Reclaiming the promise is about fighting for neighborhood public schools that are safe, welcoming places for teaching and learning.
- Reclaiming the promise is about ensuring that teachers and school staff are well prepared, are supported, have manageable class sizes and have time to collaborate so they can meet the individual needs of every child.
- Reclaiming the promise is about making sure our children have an engaging curriculum that focuses on teaching and learning, not testing, and includes art, music and the sciences.
Communities throughout the country will be standing together to on December 9th in a national day of action. Over 100 community groups and unions have signed up to take part in this event. Weingarten stated that this is a "bottom up event." Unlike other union lead events this one is coming up from parents, and community organizations that want to make real change in their communities.
Everyone deserves to be able to get a high quality education, and public schools can provide that. We need to invest in our future by investing in our public school system. A strong public school is the bedrock of our society. When your son or daughter says they want grow up to be President, it is a strong public school system that can make their dream a reality. Just as President Clinton, a graduate of Hot Springs High School, a public magnet high school in Arkansas.

Campaign Viral Chart: Facebook debuts as social network reaches 1bn users
By Ben Hall, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 11 October 2012 04:45PM
Social network Facebook has entered the chart with its first ever "brand video", created by Wieden & Kennedy to celebrate reaching one billion members.
A blog post by Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg explains that the ad intends to honor the "rich tradition of people making things that bring us together".
The ad was the sixth most shared this week, with just under 89% of its all-time share total coming from within Facebook itself.
In first place, an ad for Ahston Bikes, created in-house, enjoyed a late boom in shares.
The ad, shared nearly 280,000 and viewed more than 1.6 million times, has been featured in 115 blog posts and generated 1,647 comments.
Red Bull and mobile games developer Rovio add two further in-house creations to the top three, each shared more than 95,000 times.
Last week's most-shared ad, a political viral in support of President Obama, starring Samuel L. Jackson, slipped out of the chart, securing only 29,821 shares this week - a 94% decrease week on week.
To view the most-shared viral ads from previous weeks, visit the Brand Republic viral video board on Pinterest.
The chart, produced in conjunction with Unruly, ranks ads according to the number of times they have been shared on Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere.
