THURSDAY - August 18, 2011
RALEIGH - United States Attorney Thomas G. Walker announced that two more individuals have been charged in a mortgage fraud case that incurred losses of over $1,000,000.00. The case against MARK DAVID WEBB was unsealed yesterday at a hearing in which he pled guilty to conspiring to commit bank fraud. WEBB was charged by Criminal Information on August 30, 2010.
On August 16, 2011, ROBERT KEITH PARKER pled guilty to making false statements to influence a financial institution in connection with a loan. PARKER was charged by Criminal Information on July 27, 2011.
WEBB conspired with now disbarred attorney William Devaughn Orander, III, to defraud Southern Bank and Trust and New Century Bank, where WEBB was employed. Through a carefully orchestrated closing process, WEBB and Orander were able to deceive the banks into funding home and land transactions at premium refinancing terms by creating two sets of HUD-1 documents with two simultaneous closings instead of one. The first closing appeared as a cash transaction between the seller and buyer. Another closing was simultaneously conducted whereby the bank issued a loan to the buyer under the auspices of a refinance. Orander used his trust account to disguise the flow of funds from buyer to seller. This allowed buyers to purchase a home and leave the closing table with title to the property and as much as 50% over the purchase price in cash.
PARKER was a client of WEBB and Orander who had loans closed using the "double HUD" method. On one loan PARKER used his wife as a straw borrower to obtain loan proceeds for his own ends. PARKER and WEBB falsified income tax returns to qualify PARKER's wife for the loan. WEBB then placed the false returns into Southern Bank's files and had the loan approved based upon them.
WEBB faces up to 30 years' imprisonment at sentencing, which is set for October, 2011. PARKER also faces up to 30 years' imprisonment at sentencing, which is set for the November 14, 2011, term of court. Orander's sentencing is set for the October 3, 2011, term of court.
The case was handled by this office's Mortgage Fraud Task Force with the investigation being conducted by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney William M. Gilmore represented the government.

A Simple Twist of Fate
A few months ago, I crossed paths with a man that I've admired from afar for years. It started when I lived in Fremont with my best friend the summer after my senior year of college. She and I would frequent The Dubliner every Wednesday for $1 well drinks then stumble the two-blocks home to our apartment. One night, an incredibly good-looking man immediately caught my eye. Oh boy. I couldn't stop staring. I was smitten. After a lot of coaxing by my friend–the perpetual flirt–I finally went over to him, and we had a short butterfly-ridden conversation. This was before my "all you gotta do is put it out there and they'll bite" days. I was far too shy, and probably didn't end up making much of an impression. For me, however, it was quite the opposite. I went back, week after week, hoping to catch a glimpse of my Dubliner Man Crush and possibly snag another chance to flirt with him–I vowed that this time I'd be different and turn on the charm. One night, he walked in the doors with ano [Read More]

Gasabo district authorities yesterday closed Girubuntu Nursery and Primary School over poor infrastructure, affecting studies for more than 300 pupils.
The district mayor, Willy Ndizeye told The New Times that the decision was reached after an inspection showed that the school's buildings were dilapidated.
"The school did not have all the requirements which allow it to operate such as space because of the large number of pupils, technical aspects and lack of proper curricula" said Ndizeye said yesterday.
However, Frank Ntare one of the school's founders said the decision was not taken in good faith.
"We got a letter for school requirements which include buildings, curricula, and leadership of the school. Ninety per cent of the requirements were fulfilled and the mayor told us to renovate some of the blocks. We used school fees to carry out the renovation," Ntare said.
"But shockingly, he told us the building did not meet the standards."
The school had temporarily relocated to the closed premises following wrangles between two groups - Girubuntu and Umubano - over the school ownership.
Girubuntu Primary School relocated to the closed premises after the APIE organisation which had donated the school to parents later asked to repossess the land on which the school is located, last July.
That is when the management decided to relocate to makeshift premises, while proceeding with the case.
Emmanuel Rubambana, a parent of two affected pupils said he received news of the school closure with shock because he had just paid school fees.
"We had written a letter to the mayor as parents committee to give us more time as we fulfil what was required, but I was shocked to see children return home saying the school had been closed," he said.
When The New Times visited the school, teachers and other support staff looked stranded as police sealed off the premises.

Black Cumin Seed Tinc Tract Liquid
Black Cumin was discovered in Tutankhamen's tomb, implying that it played an important role in ancient Egyptian practices. Although its exact role in Egyptian culture is not known, we do know that items entombed with a king were carefully selected to assist him in the afterlife. The earliest written reference to black seed is found in the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament. Isaiah contrasts the reaping of black cumin with wheat: For the black cumin is not threshed with a threshing sledge, nor is a cart wheel rolled over the cumin, but the black cumin is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod. (Isaiah 28:25,27 NKJV).
In the Greco-Arab/Unani-Tibb system of medicine, which originated from Hippocrates, his contemporary Galen and Ibn Sina, black seed has been regarded as a valuable remedy in hepatic and digestive disorders and has been described as a stimulant in a variety of conditions, ascribed to an imbalance of cold humors. Ibn Sina (980-1037), most famous for his volumes called "The Canon of Medicine," regarded by many as the most famous book in the history of medicine, East or West, refers to black seed as the seed "that stimulates the body's energy and helps recovery from fatigue or dispiritedness." Black seed is also included in the list of natural drugs of Al-Tibb al-N abawi, and according to tradition, "Hold onto the use of the black seed for in it is healing for all illnesses except death." This prophetic reference in describing black seed as "having a healing for all illnesses" is not exaggerated as it at first appears. Recent research has provided evidence, which indicates that black seed contains an ability to significantly boost the human immune system - if taken over time. The prophetic phrase, "hold onto the use of the seed," also emphasizes consistent usage of the seed. The many uses of black seed have earned for this ancient herb the Arabic approbation habbatul barakah, meaning "the seed of blessing."
Chemical Analysis
Black Seed brand Oil contains several ingredients (in significant amounts) with potential value. Black Cumin (Nigella sativa) Seed is rich in nutritional values. Monosaccharides (single molecule sugars) in the form of glucose, rhamnose, xylose, and arabinose are found in the black seed. The Black Cumin (Nigella sativa) Seed contains a non-starch polysaccharide component, which is a useful source of dietary fiber. It is rich in fatty acids, particularly the unsaturated and essential fatty acids (Linoleic and Linolenic acid). The EFAs, consisting of alpha-Linolenic acid (omega-3) and Linoleic acid (omega-6), are substances that cannot be manufactured in the body, and thus must be taken in as supplements or through high-EFA foods. Fifteen amino acids make up the protein content of the Black Cumin (Nigella sativa) Seed, including eight of the nine essential amino acids. Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized within our body in sufficient quantities and are thus required from our diet. Black seed contains Arginine, which is essential for infant growth. Chemical analysis has further revealed that the Black Cumin (Nigella sativa) Seed contains carotene, which is converted by the liver into vitamin A. The Black Cumin (Nigella sativa) Seed is also a source of calcium, iron, sodium, and potassium. Required only in small amounts by the body, these elements' main function is to act as essential cofactors in various enzyme functions.
Black Seed contains over 100 valuable components. It is a significant source of essential fatty acids, proteins, carbohydrates and other vitamins and minerals. "The seeds are also rich in sterols, especially beta-sitosterol, which is known to have anticarcinogenic activity". Dr. Michael Tierra, L.AC. OMD.

All the creamy dips, cheesy casseroles, fried meats and flavored drinks you consume over the holidays are bound to hit your body hard — causing digestive issues, weight gain, mood swings and more. One way to bounce back is with a quick detox to flush toxins from your system, improve circulation and make you feel more energized and ready to face the New Year ahead.
Detox, or detoxification, is an internal cleansing of the body that can be accomplished safely and relatively quickly in the comfort of your own home. In addition to the following steps, consider a supplemental cleansing program that utilizes herbs and other nutrients to support the body's natural detoxification process.
1. Eliminate caffeine, alcohol, sugar and white flour from your diet. This can be done gradually over a period of days until you feel comfortable eliminating them completely. Digestion, sleep, energy levels and sex drive may improve without these items in your diet. (Not sure what to eat or drink? Browse our selection of healthy foods to find something delicious and detox-friendly.)
2. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and to help flush toxins from your body. Water stimulates your kidney's, liver's and digestive system's functions and may help boost metabolism, accelerating toxin elimination. Caffeine-free detox tea may also support healthy detoxification.
3. Exercise to increase blood circulation and to deliver essential nutrients to your organs. Building up a sweat also helps eliminate toxins.
4. Brush your skin daily with a natural, soft-bristled brush. This will help remove dead skin cells, clearing the way for the removal of toxins through your skin. Use long, upward strokes and include the soles of your feet and your palms.
5. Scrape away bacteria that has accumulated in your mouth during the night with a custom tongue-scraping tool. Scrape gently from back to front, then brush your teeth as usual.

I've been burnt by this before, so I'd like to restate it:
As of Windows XP, Windows _needs to be on the first drive_. :) I concur
with the method you list above (6c1 through 6c4); that's how I always
did it.
I guess we found a use for GRUB, though, in the ability to remap
drives. :) Maybe I'll have to try it out when I build Gentoo...

KUWAIT: Shareholders in Kuwait's Global Investment House Sunday approved a final plan for the company's $1.7 billion debt restructuring that will create new special purpose vehicles to take on its debts.
The Kuwaiti investment company and asset manager, undergoing its second debt restructuring in three years, will create at least two SPVs as part of the plan.
One will hold company assets along with a debt of $1.3 billion. Another SPV will take part in a capital increase for the parent company and will carry a debt equivalent to $430 million, managing director Maha al-Ghunaim told a news conference.
"One special purpose vehicle is going to hold the assets from our balance sheet which will be moved to that company," Ghunaim said.
"The other SPVs, one SPV or more that are going to be created, will participate in the capital increase of the company and it is going have a debt equivalent to $430 million," she said. There is no reduction in principal as a result of the plan.
According to the proposal, Global will offer 122.2 million dinars ($434 million) of new shares, which will be held by one or more of the SPVs.
The whole plan is still subject to creditor approval.
"We know there has been good progress [in getting approval], we know a percentage of the banks have agreed ... we are positive," Ghunaim told reporters.
"The core fee business of the company will remain protected from any volatility in the market or burdens on interest expense and debt that seem to be difficult moving forward."
Global was one of several Kuwaiti investment firms hit hard by the global financial crisis. Sources said in January that Global had laid off 17 percent of its staff, or 60 employees out of 350, across the Gulf region as part of cost-cutting measures at the debt-laden firm.
Global asked bank creditors in September last year to suspend payments on a 1.7 billion plan agreed in 2009.
Shares in Global have not traded on the Kuwait Stock Exchange since December after the bourse suspended the stock for accumulating losses over 75 percent of its capital.

Easy-to-handle Clamp Blocks
Sure, you could fiddle with odd scraps for clamp blocks, but this quick-and-easy clamp block jig will make glue-ups go more smoothly. Screwing hardboard tabs onto U-shaped clamp blocks, as shown at right, helps you hold the blocks in place while arranging clamps for a glue-up.
The tabs also provide a resting place for the clamp bars to keep them off the glue-up, while the blocks without the tabs distribute clamping pressure across a wider area than the opposing clamp jaws alone.
For more in-depth information on gluing and clamping, visit our Gluing and Clamping section in the WOOD Store.

Seattle DAZ 3D Users Meeting
The next meeting is planned for:
Date———: Wednesday or Thursday in mid June ?.
Time——- : 6:00 PM
Place——-: We could go back to the Lake Union site or pick some place new.
Topic(s)—-: Open for discussion (Haslor will bring a computer to the meeting)
Please post suggestions.
About this Thread
This Thread was started by myself, after a meeting with xenopticon. Mind you we are two old men who remember the days of the computer clubs were you went to share ideas; get help with the sticky bits; or just to get out of the basement, garage, or cave to interface with other people doing the same thing and talk face to face, do a show and tell, gripe about why someone should fixed that fraking problem.
At the end or our meeting we agreed, we should meet again and extend an invitation to other DAZ 3D software users in the Seattle Area, to join us as we talk about DAZ Studio, Hexagon, Carrara, Content, and generally gabbed, over tea and cakes. The discussion has since Grown to encompass the Greater Pacific Northwest.
You don't have to be from Seattle to Join in the Discussion.
The Core idea of the thread is to extend the gab session past the hour or three we spend face to face every month and to post our Meeting Times and places. Suggestions for both open do suggestion.

Austrian Airlines is to follow parent company Lufthansa's strategy of adopting a new cabin configuration, with lighter seats, to increase capacity.
Executive board member Andreas Bierwirth says the airline will change its seating over the winter season, for the beginning of the summer 2011 schedule, "in line with Lufthansa".
"With this we'll get a cost-saving effect on unit costs," he states.
A spokesman for Austrian says that the carrier will introduce new seats on its European continental fleet.
"The most important thing is that passenger comfort will stay the same, but there will be more seats," he says. "The leg-room will still be the same as before."
Austrian has been restructuring its European operation as part of a turnaround programme to achieve profitability.
Speaking recently to Lufthansa Group investors, Bierwirth said part of the carrier's problem had been its strategy of chasing yield, notably in the face of competition from low-cost airlines such as Austria's Niki.
"We tried to keep the yield up," he says, stating that the airline would keep reducing aircraft size in order to adjust to the declining numbers of passengers willing to pay higher fares.
"In the end [we were] operating the smallest aircraft on the highest-volume markets."
Under its new network strategy, Austrian has opted for larger aircraft, phasing out regional jets in favour of Boeing 737s from its charter business. If Austrian operates a service within 90min of a budget carrier on the same route, says Bierwirth, it will ensure that its own flight is conducted at least with Airbus A320s or 737s.
Austrian's next phase of network redesign will come into effect at the end of October this year, when it introduces changes to allow another 'wave' of connecting flights from its Vienna hub - raising the total from six to seven.
This redesign will provide an extra 300 possible connections weekly, says the airline, and provide room to expand the flight schedule in 2011.

This is now my new favorite dressing. I absolutely love it. The only change I made was it needed a little mustard. But other than that it was brilliant.
This is very good and got lots of great reviews! The only change I would make is to maybe up the honey to balsamic ratio. Thanks!

Far-right Golden Dawn has begun giving national awareness lessons to children aged between six and 10, the party has revealed.
On its website, Golden Dawn said that more than 20 children took part in a tutorial at the partys offices in Artemida, eastern Attica, on Saturday.
According to the extremist party, they were taught Greek ideals and shown an educational video. The children learned about the Ancient Greek gods and the Christian faith.
The party, which gained 6.9 percent of the vote in the June elections, said that parents were advised to bring their children at specific times to the future tutorials that would ensure the rebirth of the Greek spirit.

20. U.S. pat Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/615,678, Applicant Feher, K. "ULTRA WIDEBAND, ULTRA NARROWBAND AND RECONFIGURABLE INTEROPERABLE SYSTEMS" filed on Oct. 5, 2004.
21. U.S. Utility patent application Ser. No. 11/023,279, Applicant Feher, K., submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on Dec. 22, 2004 and entitled "BROADBAND, ULTRA WIDEBAND AND ULTRA NARROWBAND RECONFIGURABLE INTEROPERABLE SYSTEMS".
This invention addresses the need for new more efficient embodiments and implementation architectures of reconfigurable, adaptable, interoperable multimode ultra wideband-ultra narrowband (UWN) systems as well as a class of broadband wireless, broadband wireless access (BWA) and other spectral and power efficient communication systems. The BWA systems, disclosed herein include new implementation architectures and new "hybrid" embodiments for WCDMA, WiMAX, Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.11 and other IEEE specified systems. Local Multipoint Distribution Systems, other point to point systems and Multipoint Distribution Services (MDS) will need more efficient, reduced size interoperable Multimode Multiple Input Multiple Output (MMIMO) hybrid operation, disclosed herein.
A network which incorporates UWB and UNB or other combinations of communications and or broadcast systems, is designated here as a "hybrid" system or "hybrid" network. While prior art UWB systems, broadband systems, systems known as IEEE 802 standardized systems, WI-FI and/or Bluetooth provide communications for short distances some of these systems are not efficient for longer range/longer distance applications.
While spectrally efficient, narrowband and Ultra Narrow Band (UNB) systems are suitable for short as well as longer distances there are no disclosed embodiments for cost efficient—simple reconfigurable, interoperable communication and broadcasting system architectures, baseband, intermediate frequency (IF) and radio frequency (RF) implementations for Bit Rate Agile (BRA) systems, Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) in case of UWB and UNB systems and the connection of these systems into an operating network. Processing the data signals, clock signals, and/or carrier waveforms of UWB, of UNB and of a class of other systems leads to shaped radio-frequency (RF) waveforms and wavelets. With Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) diversity and protection system configuration the performance and capacity of these "hybrid" UWB and UNB systems may be further enhanced. For such systems more efficient and simpler architectures and implementations are disclosed.
In prior art patents and in other published documents and articles the aforementioned sets of systems were invented, studied and investigated separately from each other and joint-hybrid efficient and seamless, adaptive Modulation Format Selectable (MFS) and Bit Rate Agile (BRA) operation and joint embodiments of systems which operate as Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) in flexible agile UWB and UNB systems in conjunction with other wireless and wired (cable, telephone, fiber optics) systems such as 2nd generation wireless systems, such as GSM systems, CDMA systems, 3rd generation cellular systems and 4th generation wireless and cellular systems, including broadband systems were not disclosed.
One set of communications systems contains highly spectral efficient, narrowband, very narrowband and ultra narrowband (UNB) systems; an other set contains broadband, wideband and ultra wideband (UWB) systems. Combinations and variations of these two sets of systems are designated herein with the generic term/acronym: Ultra wideband-ultra narrowband (UWN) systems.
The most important objectives of wireless communications, broadcasting, telemetry, location based systems GPS (Global Positioning System), Radio Frequency Identification systems (RFID), internet browsing infrared and in general "radio" systems as well as "wired" systems include: power and bandwidth or spectrum efficiency combined with robust Bit Error Rate (BER) performance in a noisy and/or strong interference environment. These Radio Frequency (RF) system objectives are specified in numerous systems including wireless communications and cellular systems, satellite systems, mobile and telemetry systems, broadcasting systems, cable, fiber optics and practically all communication transmission systems. Here we are using the term "Radio Frequency" (RF) in its broadest sense, implying that we are dealing with a modulated signal. The RF could be, for example, as high as the frequency of infrared or fiber optic transmitters; it could be in the GHz range, e.g., between 1 GHz and 300 GHz, or it could be in the MHz range, e.g. between about 1 MHz and 999 MHz or just in the kHz range, such as used in telephony modems. The term RF could apply to Base-Band (BB) signals, to Pulse Position Modulated (PPM) signals, to Quadrature Modulated (for short "QM" or "QMOD") and to FM or AM or hybrid modulated signals, to non-quadrature modulated signals, or to un-modulated Carrier Wave (CW) signals or waveforms.
The cited publications, patents, pending patents and other published documents, reference numbers [1-31], and the references within the aforementioned publications contain definitions and descriptions of many terms used in this new patent disclosure and for this reason these "prior art" terms and definitions will be only briefly, on a case by case basis highlighted.
While the majority of prior patents and publications disclose systems which have a spectral efficiency of less than about 10b/s/Hz [such systems include GMSK, BPSK, QPSK, QAM (e.g. 16-QAM; 64 QAM), Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) and Pulse Duration Modulation methods] there is prior art which discloses implementations which could attain considerably higher spectral efficiencies, i.e. more than 10 b/s/Hz.
H. R. Walker's patents, references [1-5] and Feher's patent Ref. [16] describe information signal transmission methods which could attain ultra high spectral efficiencies of more than 10 b/s/Hz, designated herein as ultra narrowband (UNB) or ultra spectral efficient systems.
While the aforementioned issued patents and publications describe material of a background nature, they do not describe or suggest the subject matter of the present patent.
Prior to the description of the current invention, a brief review and highlights of prior art, contained in the description of
This invention discloses new, efficient embodiments and implementation architectures of reconfigurable, adaptable, interoperable broadband wireless, multimode ultra wideband—ultra narrowband (UWN) systems as well as a class of broadband and other spectral and power efficient communication systems.
A network which incorporates UWB and UNB or other combinations of communications systems is designated here as a "hybrid" system or "hybrid" network.
Processing the data signals, of clock signals, and/or carrier waveforms of UWB, of UNB and of a class of other systems leads to shaped radio-frequency (RF) waveforms and wavelets. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) diversity and protection system configuration the performance and capacity of these "hybrid" UWB and UNB systems may be further enhanced. For such systems more efficient and simpler architectures and implementations are disclosed.
Specific Objectives of this Invention Include:
A 1st objective of this invention is to disclose implementations and embodiments which shape waveforms, wavelets, symbols, Radio Frequency (RF) cycles of previously disclosed non-shaped signals by means of optional TCS and/or LR processors and filters. Such shaping improves the spectral characteristics and or other performance parameters the system and leads to, in several cases simpler implementation architectures.
A 2nd objective is to process and generate UNB and UWB signals which have Modulation Format Selectable (MFS) waveforms or wavelets and are suitable for hybrid operation, diversity and protection systems including a new generation of Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC), Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems which are interoperable with existing wireless systems, such as cellular GSM, GPRS, EDGE and CDMA and W-CDMA systems as well as with other conventional and broadband wireless and telephony systems.
Detailed disclosure of several implementation architectures and embodiments of the current application is contained in this section.
One or more Data Input (Data In) and Clock Input (Clock In) signals are provided to or from processor unit 6.1.

NFCC Begins Its 2013-14 Slate With Course 405: Explosive Team Offense & Strategy
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The National Fastpitch Coaches College will kick-off its 2013-14 class schedule over August 30-31, 2013, at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, La., by holding Course 405: Explosive Team Offense & Strategy. Instructors for the two-day course include St. Thomas (Minn.) head coach John Tschida, LSU head coach Beth Torina and Oregon head coach Mike White.
During the two-day program, coaches will learn how to read opponents and coordinate actions of their individual players in order to manufacture and score runs. In addition pupils will examine the pieces of an explosive offensive puzzle (power, running, short game), learn the elements of play-mapping and how to apply them to numerous tactics and strategies, go head-to-head with classmates and instructors in practicing and evaluating play calling, discuss how to put together a batting order and good DP-Flex practices, learn how to interpret opponent statistics and apply that information to game plans and accumulate drills for the practice of offensive team skills and strategies.
Course 405 is one of eight courses that make up the NFCC curriculum. Since it's founding in 2002, the NFCC has been one of the cornerstones of the NFCA's pledge to help continually educate softball coaches of all levels. Along with earning the title of Four-Star Master Coach, completion of the eight-course curriculum can also count towards a master's degree in coaching from Texas Woman's University.
Registration for the course is available at https://nfca.org/index.php/nfcc-main-home-page or by calling (502) 409-4600. The cost is $225 for members and $250 for non-members. A discount of $100 is also being offered for this course for programs that have more than one coach attend the class. For programs with multiple coaches attending, the head coach will pay the regular price while any other members of the staff can attend for $100 off.
Three-time NCAA national champion John Tschida is largely regarded as one of the best softball clinicians in the nation. Having just completed his 19th season as a head coach of the Tommies, he has guided two different schools, St. Mary's (Minn.) and St. Thomas (Minn.) to national championships and is currently the all-time winningest Division III coach by percentage. He has been named MIAC Coach of the Year after 10 of his 19 seasons at the helm. His teams have been nationally ranked each season, and in the last 17 seasons, have posted a 336-15 record in conference regular-season play. At St. Thomas his players have earned 30 NCAA All-American honors, 44 Academic All-American honors and 86 first-team All-MIAC honors.
Heading into her third season in charge of the program at LSU, Torina has wasted no time in helping the Tigers return to national prominence. During her inaugural campaign in Baton Rouge, she guided the Tigers to a 2012 Women's College World Series berth, marking the program's third overall appearance on college softball's biggest stage and first since 2004. Along the way the Tigers became the third team since the current regional/super regional format that was adopted in 2005 to knock off two seeded teams in No. 8 Texas A&M and No. 9 Missouri on the road en route to Oklahoma City. Torina has also served in the past as the head coach of the USSSA Florida Pride of the National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) League. Before joining the LSU program in June 2011, she took Florida International of the Sun Belt Conference to new heights. The two-time SBC Coach of the Year led the Golden Panthers to a 129-111 record in four seasons and directed FIU to its first NCAA Tournament victory in 2010.
After leading Oregon to many of its biggest wins in recent memory, fifth-year head coach Mike White has unquestionably established the Ducks as one of the nation's top softball programs. His .723 winning percentage (173-66) over his first four years is the best all-time among Oregon head coaches. In 2013, the Pac-12 Coach of the Year led UO to its first-ever Pac-12 title, its second-highest overall win total (50) and its best rankings in both coaches polls (No. 3) in the regular season's final edition while advancing to its fourth straight Super Regional (and overall). During 2012, Oregon made its second-ever Women's College World Series trip, racking up its then-second-most wins (45) and ending the season rated fifth nationally in both polls. Before his current Duck tenure, White was already well known in softball circles as an International Softball Congress (ISC) Hall of Fame pitcher and 30-year coaching veteran.

Pros: isolation
Cons: everything else
not to insert. to properly insert, you should insert until it reaches your eardrums, if you sense it touches to your eardrums, you should pull it a little back slowly (unless you want your brains pop out). its isolation is great, i can give it that.
if you listen at low volumes and have large air canal, this would have been a deal for $30, if it had not so much microphonics (and you can't wear it cable up configuration), you can listen it at so low volumes (if you stop breathing that is) that you can't believe it, but you probably don't and you have normal air canals, like most of us. i just can't believe these are for kids.
i am not gonna bother to go into detailed sound aspects. they just sound dull. even if juiced (i don't believe you can juice these tiny drivers) i don't believe that they will sound any better. worst $30 spent ever.

YIELD: Makes enough for 1 double-crust 11-inch tart
ACTIVE TIME: 20 min
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/4 hr
Blend together flour, butter, shortening, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Drizzle evenly with 7 tablespoons ice water and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in processor) until incorporated.
Squeeze a small handful: If it doesn't hold together, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until incorporated, then test again. (Do not overwork mixture, or pastry will be tough.)
Turn mixture out onto a work surface and divide into 8 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather two thirds of dough together with scraper and press into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough, then flatten each ball into a 5-inch disk. Wrap disks separately in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
Cooks' note: Dough can be chilled up to 1 week.

The Frank Bette Center for the Arts is hosting an opening gala for its latest show, Circles, from 7 to 9 p.m. this Friday, October 7. Art in the show will be on display through Friday, December 23.
According to the event's organizers, "The circle of life, a circle of friends or maybe you feel like you're just going in circles; whatever your take on the subject, come and compare your ideas with this month's exhibiting artists interpretation of circles. You may be surprised, enlightened, affirmed, or entertained. What better way to spend some time out of your own head and delve into someone else's, even if it's just for a little while."
The opening gala takes place at the arts center, 1601 Paru Street at Lincoln Avenue. The event is free, though donations to the center are appreciated, staff members say.
Also, don't miss the Plein Air art sale at South Shore Center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday, October 8.

A Game of Tag
I have been tagged by Riley to "list eight habits or facts about yourself, then tag eight more people." Piece of cake.
1). From ages 8 - 11, I grew up enamored with NASCAR, sharks, boxing (Muhammad Ali), and Elke Sommer.
2). I am both compelled, and repelled, by Wild Man Fischer's "My Name Is Larry." I can listen to it over and over.
3). From age 13-17 my entire life revolved around Bruce Springsteen, and I saw him in concert 4 times before the "Born To Run" album was released, once at a movie theater in Red Bank, New Jersey. Soon after he began playing "large venues," I moved on to Frank Zappa and Tom Waits.
4). I am insomniac to a degree that most would find debilitating.
5). I believe in the bottom of my heart that "everyone else can be wrong." This is surprisingly annoying to some people.
6). If our nation was ever to suffer shortages of red wine, seltzer water or nicotine gum, it would be a cold, dark time for one particular citizen.
7). I love Bob Marley's "Buffalo Soldiers," because I was a huge Banana Splits fan.
8). Favorite movie: "The Man Who Would Be King." Followed closely by the DVD-collection seasons of "24".
I hereby tag:

BY LACING goat's milk with synthesised spider proteins, researchers in Quebec plan to make an incredibly light fabric that is both biodegradable and strong enough to stop bullets. Called biosteel, it could become a green alternative to the high-strength plastics used to package shampoos or make commercial fishing nets.
Jeff Turner, president of Nexia Biotechnologies, says the biodegradable fabric would need to be sealed from the environment if used in critical applications such as body armour or spacecraft. This is because bacteria could get in and digest it.
Turner's team has already taken the first step towards creating biosteel by transferring the spider gene for the protein into goat mammary cells and collecting soluble protein from the milk. And they expect genetically engineered goats to start producing the protein in the next few months.
While nobody has yet made a fabric from biosteel, Turner is convinced the protein can be ...

Beyond Malthus
The Nineteen Dimensions of the Population Challenge
By Lester R. Brown, Gary Gardner, Brian Halweil
Routledge – 1999 – 168 pages
Routledge – 1999 – 168 pages
On the bicentennial of Malthus' legendary essay on the tendency of population to grow more rapidly than the food supply, this book examines the impacts of population growth on 19 global resources and services, including food, fresh water, fisheries, jobs, education, income and health. Despite current hype of a 'birth dearth' in parts of Europe and Japan, the fact remains that human numbers are projected to increase by over 3 billion by 2050. Populations in rapidly growing nations are in danger of outstripping the carrying capacity of their natural support systems and governments in such situations will find it increasingly hard to respond to crises such as AIDS, food and water shortages and mass unemployment. Beyond Malthus examines methods such as the expansion of international family planning, investment in educating young people in the developing world and promotion of a shift towards smaller families which will represent the most humane response to the possible ravages of the population explosion.

A lot of people nowadays maintain blogs. Initially, it is the web version of diaries. But with the openness of the internet, blogging has evolved into something quite beneficial for bloggers—be it for personal, social, or business purposes.
For now, we will focus on the personal benefits of blogging.
1. Improves your writing skill
In blogging, you have to be a good writer to be able to turn out quality posts. If you are not that confident of your writing, blogging will help you improve your article crafting skills over time because not only will you write, you will also be compelled to read a lot of materials online to get your ideas from as well as to visit other blogs to build your community. Such activities will not only enhance your vocabulary skills, you will also get bits and pieces of how to write really good content for your blog.
2. Expands your knowledge base
Because you will need to read lots of articles – blogs, news, and definitely, articles from Wikipedia – you will definitely increase your knowledge base because of the amount of information you come across. Blogging will also help you become a better researcher because oftentimes, you need to have a good grasp of what you will be writing about.
3. Name and fame in the blogging world
Continuing to write quality posts in your blog will eventually lead to your readers wanting to know more about you, and recommending your good posts to their friends or networks. And because you are writing about your interests on certain subject matters, people will get to see your expertise on that particular subject, and soon your subscriber base who shares the same interests will definitely grow.
4. Building a network
This is related to Point 3. As people with the same interests get to know more about your blog and your expertise on the subject you are writing about, this will lead to your community or network of other bloggers. You will eventually be opened to the world of other successful bloggers, and know their thoughts, ideas and opinion on your topic.
5. Motivation
Knowing that people do read your blog posts, and seeing their wonderful comments or constructive criticisms, will really push you more to write more on the subject and deepen your understanding or knowledge of the subject you are writing about. You will be motivated to write more and connect more with them.
6. Income
Definitely, a lot of bloggers out there have monetized their blogs after a certain period of time of maintaining them. In fact, the potential income part is one of the reasons some people do jump to blogging. But of course this is not easy; you have to establish yourself first in the blogging world, and you have to make sure your articles are really relevant to your readers. This way, they will continue to visit your blog, and after a while, start interacting more with you through your blog. Eventually, as you gain the name in your subject matter in the blogging world, potential advertisers in the same space would get to notice your blog, and as they begin to feel confident, advertisements/sponsorships could begin to come in. But of course there are no shortcuts to this. You have to religiously update and maintain your blog, interact with your readers, and build your community.

Is the world ending in 2012 seriously the honest facts? Can the 2012 doomsday event really truthfully be in possesion of any truth? Throughout all of our written heritage; the human race has held a small number of events that are of extreme importance. This specific date could become the greatest important event that we have ever encountered.
We understand this is probably not the first time reading the world ending 2012 predictions, nonetheless it is necessary to comprehend that the more you understand about the prophecies, the better prepared and safer you will be. The complete world ending 2012 event includes a plenitude of diverse issues and beliefs. It is a very boundless affair.
With the first glimpse these issues may seem to feel utterly not connected. Now, after you sincerly start absorbing them, you begin to feel the configuration and semblances. The written world contains a variety of fantastic materials that are covered in this living world in 2012 topic. These materials that we are giving are composed of such forewarnings, circumstances, and conjectures as; universal concepts, cataclysmic events, ancient experience, advanced mathematical science, and astrophysics; just to mention a select few.
So what was the beginning of all the world in 2012 ballyhoo? At what place did it all start? Surprisingly enough, this serious happening really did not originate from Hollywood. This fascinating idea that a thing that is fantastic is occuring on this 2012 date has been uncovered all throughout all of the advanced ideas of the universe. The world is overflowing with a lot of good examples. Although, the Yi Jing, Nostradamus's teachings, and the Bible are the most popular. While the instances just may have the appearance to be really old they have persevered for this long and are still very forceful for a purpose.
When we do our research we begin to understand that this world ending in 2012 prophecy holds extreme importance when it involves astrometry. This really is the dawning of the new age; the age is at its vital level during this day. We can surely realize that each age has a foundation, and this is ours.
And what is the source of this matter? The amazingly correct Mayan Calendar is by far the uttermost famous of all the birthplaces of this 2012 doomsday prediction. When given a quick glance you see that it has gernerated an infinite quantity of astronomically indicated affairs that have been verified to come to completion. I know that right away there are a grouping of individuals who are not believing while dipping into this right now. How can we possibly affirm that a community who stopped living so many decades ago could produce any manuscripts about the end of the world 2012 doomsday that have any legitimacy?
The truth is that I know that people are advanced enough to understand that it is very probable for a group who stopped living on this planet so long ago to have apprehension of ideas that we may not actually get yet. Understanding this could surely affect whether we exist after this 2012 happening or not. Seeing these ideas appears easily after researching them for a bit.
Not only were the Mayans extraordinarily experienced in the topic of algebra; they were also exceptionally advanced in the issue of astrometry. In addition to the Mayan peoples long count calendar they also possess a type of algebraic device that is also tremendously correct. The correctness of the Mayan calendar has been ascertained by physicists who have made sure of the correctness with the mathematical instrument. Planetary mapping has been used to additionally authenticate these findings.
This particular extremely relevant year has around it a lot of diverse predictions that we could not ever go over them all here. An online search alone blesses you with about 300,000,000 thoughts on 2012. When you start to grip the fantastic number of colorful creeds, cultures, disciplines, and values that are about this subject matter you will realize that it is seriously popular for a reason. Is there truthfully a lot to this end of world 2012 happening? It seems so.
Is this day truly going to be the Earth's expiration? Will it be a sacred progression or shift? A group of people may mistrust, and there are many of us who accept. A few go through living and do not consider the potentiality; they simply do not care. Some just chortle at it like it is a farce. Think about it; what if the many ones who don't bother and giggling folks are misguided? Will you risk to leave it to chance?

Israeli solar farm to power a kibbutz [Video]
Posted By ISRAEL21c Staff On April 26, 2009 @ 12:00 am In | No Comments
Israeli company ZenithSolar has launched a new solar farm at Kibbutz Yavne, in Israel's south, that will provide cheap and efficient alternative energy and hot water to the 250 families living there.
The company, which was founded in 2006, says its solar panels and energy dish can transform 75 percent of the sunlight it absorbs into electricity and hot water at a cost of 8.6 cents per kilowatt hour. Conventional solar panels that generate electricity from sunlight do so with less than 15% efficiency, and cost more than double.
The company says that in peak conditions, its system can provide energy to customers at the same price as traditional fossil fuels, but without any of the negative effects on the environment.
The commercial pilot stands on a half-acre plot at the edge of the kibbutz. Sixteen units, each with two 11 sq. meter dishes containing 1,200 small mirrors, harvest sunlight. The pilot will serve as a model for further solar farms that could serve small or even large cities.
Within two years, the Ness Ziona company hopes to be able to produce cheap small units for private homeowners.
