JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 3, 2007) - Senior Day became a record-breaking day as three records were broken and one tied as the ETSU women's soccer team rolled past the USC Upstate Spartans, 4-0 at Summers-Taylor Stadium. The Bucs improve to 10-5-3 overall and 6-4-1 in the A-Sun, while the Spartans fall to 3-15-0, 1-10-0.
Prior to the start of the game, seniors Hannah Johnson (Soddy-Daisy, Tenn.), Katie O'Bryan (
With the victory over USC Upstate the 2007 Bucs became the team season record holders in assists (31) and points (103). The assist record had been previously set at 27 in 2000 while the points record had been set in 2005 at 101. The Bucs also tied the 2003 and 2004 record of six shutouts in a season. One individual season record fell as junior Katie Green (
The Bucs took a 1-0 lead early in the first half as Terri Miller (
ETSU continued to press the Spartan defense as Jordan Monty (
In the second period the Bucs would score once more as Miller connected with Monty for the second time to blank the Spartans and close out the regular season with a 4-0 victory.
Miller led the Bucs offensively with five shots, two goals and one assist, while Monty had three shots, one goal and two assists and Green had two shots, one goal and one assist.

How to boot multiple Linuxes from Grub4dos? (Solved)
G'day all,
it's been a while since I was on this forum and in that time I have been playing around with other OSes, the end result: aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!
Good thing Puppy is so stable and reliable. My main OS is Puppy slacko 5.x, up to 5.5 now, great new release, love it.
I've also installed Macpup 5.2.9
and still have Slacko 5.4 installed as well. These are all frugal installs on HD of my HP Presario v2000 laptop. They all just install so easily and run so well, why would we look elsewhere??
I keep asking myself the same thing, the answer I come up with is: cos I can! Oh, I hate challenges.
Anyway, enough rambling, to my questions:
1/ I've installed VectorLinux 7 and when I updated Grub4dos on my Puppy 5.5, it showed up as Fatdog64, can anyone tell me why??
2/ I've also installed Snowlinux 4 (glacier). Grub4dos gets the name right but I can't get either of them to boot, at least not without a kernel panic.
I'm still a bit green when it comes to Linux and especially grub so I need to find the step by step, 'this is what you look for and where you look' kind of advice to fix some things.
I have successfully installed Knoppix 7.0.5 and am able to boot it from the menu.lst but even there, each time I update the menu.lst with grub4dos, it loses the needed boot options/parameters to make it boot. Good thing it is just a copy and paste to restore that one.
So, can anyone help me find what I need to get Vector and Snow to boot? The info on the screen when the kernel panic has occurred doesn't mean a lot to me yet. I'd be very appreciative of any help, thanks in advance.
Also, if I've posted in the wrong section, please forgive me and point me in the right direction, thanks. I have done a substantial amount of searching for answers to the second question particularly and found it all very confusing,
hope you understand. I know from my earlier queries and posts that you are a very helpful and patient bunch of people. If anyone knows of any forum posts in any forum that might help, that would be appreciated as well.
If I haven't given enough info, please ask and I'll supply what I can. Thanks again.

I don't use Grub4dos (in my tests it wouldn't boot anything except Puppy without a lot of experimenting) so I boot everything with good old Legacy Grub. I seem to recall that the old Legacy Grub entries will work in Grub4dos so here is my Grub entry for Vector 7.0.
title Vector Linux 7 full install in sda14
root (hd0,13)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda14 ro
initrd /boot/initrd
Naturally you need to adjust the numbers to fit your partitions....... unless yours is installed on sda14 too.
That boots my Vector install..... may help get you on the right track.

Thanks James C,
that worked a treat, my entry was almost there, in fact there was too much information, grub4dos had added a couple of unnecessary options, I got rid of them and it worked. The only thing is that it booted into the command line but I'll check the VL forums for answers to that one, at least I can get it started now, thanks heaps.
I'll see how that goes with the SnowLinux install and keep everyone posted.
Puppy is the one that rocks, though!!

Well, for any who have been watching this thread, I now have 3 puppies and 3 other non-puppy distros, all bootable, on my hd. Thanks, James, for your help in sorting the booting issue for Vector Linux which helped with the entry for SnowLinux.
Now that that is solved, I'll mark that soon, can anyone tell me why the Vector Linux first showed up as Fatdog64??? Got me beat, it's not even based on Puppy, ASAIK.
Anyway, cheers all.

killapup: Just to clarify - your problems are not with Grub4Dos per se. They are with Puppy's Grub4Dos Bootloader Config program.
This program scans the partitions of your hard drive, looking for Linux installs. It then makes some educated guesses about how they should boot, and builds a menu.
This procedure works well with Puppies. In my tests, it also correctly identifies the Ubuntu variants that now use GRUB2. But it isn't perfect.
I did a test install of Vector Linux and it uses the old LILO bootloader. So G4DBLC guesses wrong. Here's why it thinks that the install is Fatdog:
Fatdog has a core file named initrd, unlike Puppy which uses initrd.gz. As a courtesy to the the Fatdog project, G4DBLC assumes that the presence of the initrd file is a marker for Fatdog. Unfortunately, Vector also uses this file!
Here is a tip for multi-booting various Linuxes. Most (all?) of them give you a choice of where to install the bootloader - either on the hard drive's MBR or in the boot sector of the install partition. If you use the latter, your install is completely self contained. You can then boot it from GRUB using a chainloader command.
for an alternative to G4DBLC. I used this method with Vector and it booted correctly.

Thanks 51,
I'm still learning about Linux and am very green about Grub....... but it is fun trying. Thanks for the referral to the Grub Legacy article, you obviously have a good grasp on it. So, on that, is it worth redoing the boot loader using Grub Legacy instead of Grub4dos? Or am I just asking for trouble changing midstream?? Or is it really worth my while making the change now to save myself more grief later on?
Thanks, too, for checking out why the Fatdog showed up, I can understand that now to some extent. I know that the Snowlinux install uses initrd.img with a version number and 'generic' at the end and my bootloader list has to include the whole thing, but at least it boots.
I did see the LILO bootloader step in the install of Vector but I skipped that one, intending to use Grub4dos.
Anyway, thanks again for all the help, no doubt I'll be back, cheers all,

Here is the only issue with relying on tools like Grub4Dos Bootloader Config. If you add a new OS to your system and re-run G4DBLC, it will make the same wrong guesses as before. You will need to repair your menu.lst again.
But once you understand how OS's install their bootloaders, you can just add a new entry to your current menu.lst.
I did a test setup of eight different Linuxes. In each case, I instructed the installer to put its bootloader in its own partition boot sector instead of the MBR. I then added a standard entry to my primary menu.lst running out of a Puppy. I never had to re-install GRUB. They all booted correctly.

Post subject: Grub4dos menu.lst
Subject description: Location
Could someone tell me where to find the menu.lst from a Puppy Linux Grub4Dos installation. With just a Grub installation I know it was in the Boot/Grub folder. But there's no text files in that folder in the Grub4Dos.
This is using the 5.5 Slacko version

Grub4Dos does not use the /boot/grub folder. Your menu.lst file should be in the same location as the grldr file - at the root of the partition.

How many partitions do you have?
Are you currently booting from Grub4Dos?
Where are you finding the folder /boot/grub?
Click each of the drive icons at the bottom on your screen. Look in each for the files grldr and menu.lst.

I have four. One swap, one windows, then two Linux. The Grub4dos is installed by a Puppy Linux utility. That partition, when opened off the icon, shows a boot/grub file with just system icons and no text files.
On the other linux (Mepis) I have a regular boot/grub folder that has a menu.lst in it. That application had installed a grub boot loader at the end of the OS installation. It wouldn't boot the Puppy linux, though. So I used the live CD for the Puppy and installed the Grub4Dos, but that one wouldn't boot the Mepis.
So, I copied the grub listing for the Mepis to an outside media (external hardrive via usb), then installed the Grub4Dos, and exchanged the Mepis listing from the Grub for the Grub4Dos at the installation end of the latter. That shows an Edit the menu.lst. Now everything boots, but I was wanting to get the Mepis splash screen at the start. I should have made a copy of the menu.lst then, but thought I could find it. I can still go back and redo everything.
If I can't get it done, it's not a big deal I have everything booting and the whole thing is more of educating myself on the linux systems. It's a lot of fun. This project is on a desktop. The main OS I use is the Puppy Linux on a couple of laptops. Those I use as work units so I've come to be a real fan of the Puppy Linux Distros.
The Mepis and Puppy partition icons are the only ones that show the boot/grub folder. I'm not finding a grldr file anywhere. I'm currently booting from the Grub4Dos.

Well I found it. It was on a partition that wasn't mounted. It was at the bottom of the Windows partition - #1. It wasn't in a folder, but just in a text file by itself.
Thanks for the responses. Now I can move ahead with this.

On 21 March the United Nations officially marks four International Observances –
The theme for this year's International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is "Racism and Conflict," highlighting the fact that racism and discrimination often are at the root of deadly conflict.
The theme was chosen to capture the often ignored yet mutually reinforcing relationship between racism and conflict. In many parts of the world, racism, prejudice and xenophobia create extreme tension and are used as powerful weapons to engender fear or hatred in times of conflict. Prejudice and xenophobia can even lead to genocide, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing and war crimes.
This year's theme aims to raise awareness of these issues and to recall the plight of the victims who suffered or continue to suffer as a result of racism-related conflicts.
(Additional reading: 'Let's Fight Racism' campaign)
Every year on 21 March UNESCO celebrates the World Poetry Day.
Poetry contributes to creative diversity, by questioning anew our use of words and things, our modes of perception and understanding of the world. Through its associations, its metaphors and its own grammar, poetic language is thus conceivably another facet of the dialogue among cultures. Diversity in dialogue, free flow of ideas by word, creativity and innovation. World Poetry Day is an invitation to reflect on the power of language and the full development of each person's creative abilities.
World Down Syndrome Day
Down syndrome is a naturally occurring chromosomal arrangement that has always been a part of the human condition, exists in all regions across the globe and commonly results in variable effects on learning styles, physical characteristics or health.
Adequate access to health care, to early intervention programmes and to inclusive education, as well as appropriate research, are vital to the growth and development of the individual.
International Day of Nowruz
Inscribed in 2009 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as a cultural tradition observed by numerous peoples, Nowruz is an ancestral festivity marking the first day of spring and the renewal of nature. It promotes values of peace and solidarity between generations and within families as well as reconciliation and neighbourliness, thus contributing to cultural diversity and friendship among peoples and different communities.
International Nowruz Day was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly, in its resolution A/RES/64/253 of 2010, at the initiative of several countries that share this holiday (Afghanistan, Albania, Azerbaijan, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, India, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkey and Turkmenistan.

|Lord of Our Speech
Read for This Week's Study:
|Psalm 9; Acts 1:8, 1 Cor. 2:1-5; Eph. 4:15, 29; Col. 4:6; James 3:5-13; 4:11.
Memory Text:
|"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one" (Colossians 4:6, NKJV).
Key Thought:
|We are called to use our speech for the glory of our Lord and the
blessing of others.
The gift of speech can be a tremendous blessing or a terrible curse. When we enter into a newness of life under the lordship of Christ, Jesus invites us to let Him be the Lord of our speech.
Used wisely, our speech can bring glory to God and blessing to those around us. Misused, our speech can wreak havoc. Corrupt communication causes pain to the heart of God and damage to the lives of those within our circle of influence.
Ellen White reminds us that "the faculty of speech is a precious gift, and if the noblest of our faculties, reason, is set to the task of knowing God, then the gift of speech may become a means of grace to others, a channel through which the knowledge of God may be communicated."Manuscript Releases, vol. 19, p. 277.
In this week's study, we will explore some practical ways in which we can use our speech for the glory of God and the blessing of others. The same appeal that the apostle Paul gave to young Timothy is given to each one of us today: "[Be] an example in speech" (1 Tim. 4:12, NRSV).
*Study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, July 30.
|July 24
Speaking Words of Praise to the Lord
It is the highest privilege for members of the human family to speak words of praise to the Lord. The psalms are full of exhortations to praise the Lord. In Psalm 9 the psalmist David declares, "I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High" (Ps. 9:1, 2, NKJV).
As much as possible, read the last five psalms. What was it about the Lord that caused the psalmist to utter so much praise?
What spiritual advantages come to us by taking time to praise the Lord, whether verbally or in writing?
|Write your own psalm of praise to the Lord for whatever you feel impressed to praise Him for, and then read it aloud. See for yourself how such expressions can impact you only for the good.
|July 25
Speaking With Grace (Col. 4:6).
Study the apostle Paul's counsel to the believers in Colosse, as recorded in Colossians 4:6. What does it mean to "let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt" (NKJV)? Keeping in mind, too, that salt back then was used as a preservative, what do you think "seasoned with salt" means in this context?
Read the story in John 8:1-11 of the adulterous woman who was cast at the feet of Jesus. How does the interaction of Jesus with the woman and with her accusers illustrate one way by which one can speak with grace?
|Think about the last time your words were graceless. Though all you can do is ask for forgiveness for that past act, what can you do now to help prevent yourself from making a similar mistake next time?
|July 26
Speaking the Truth in Love (Eph. 4:15).
As we suggested yesterday, there are times when we might need to speak words of rebuke, counsel, or admonition to others.
Read the following texts: Matthew 16:23; 23:13-39; John 14:8, 9; John 18:19-23. What kind of tone do you think Jesus used when speaking these words? How would that tone reflect the principles of love and grace He Himself embodied?
Read Ephesians 4:15. How do you understand what it means to speak the "truth" in love? Is "truth" still "truth" if spoken in any other way but love?
|So often it's not what we say but how we say it that can make all the difference in the world. Stand before a mirror, or before others, and practice saying the same words, once in a loving tone, once in a harsh, unkind tone. You will be shocked that, though the words themselves are the same, their meanings will seem so different. There's a powerful lesson here for us, if we will learn it.
|July 27
Speaking in the Power of the Spirit (Acts 1:8, 1 Cor. 2:1-5).
When someone refers to speaking in the power of the Holy Spirit, we generally think of preaching. The testimony of Scripture is clear: It is God's intention that all preaching be delivered in the power of the Spirit.
Study the promise of Jesus in Acts 1:8 and the testimony of the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 2:1-5. What is the secret of powerful preaching?
Powerful preaching is not the product of human wisdom or eloquence. Rather, it is the testimony of one who has entered into a personal, intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The same Holy Spirit who placed His seal of approval upon the preaching of Paul will also enable humble servants of Christ in our generation to speak with a demonstration of divine power.
Speaking in the power of the Holy Spirit, however, is not limited to preaching. God intends that all our speech be delivered with a demonstration of divine power. Indeed, each one of us who lives in newness of life under the lordship of Christ is given the privilege and responsibility of speaking in the power of the Holy Spirit. Divine power, however, doesn't necessarily mean just eloquence (see Exod. 4:10, 1 Cor. 2:1). If we are speaking in the Spirit, our words, our tone, our message will reflect the attributes of the Spirit that are made manifest in lives touched by the Spirit. Our words will reflect the kind of people we are; they will reflect whether we are walking after the flesh or after the Spirit.
Also, we must never confuse grand elocution with speaking in the Spirit. Many of history's worst tyrants were men whose speech was very powerful and very effective; one, though, would hardly say they were speaking in the Spirit.
|What principles do the following texts give us that help us know whether we, or someone else, is speaking under the influence of the Holy Spirit? 1 Cor 12:1, 2; Gal. 5:22; Eph. 5:9, 10; 6:17-19. How can you apply these principles in your own life and speech?
|July 28
Avoiding Corrupt Communication (Eph. 4:29).
The apostle Paul admonished the believers in Ephesus to avoid corrupt communication. Unfortunately, many of us live in a social environment where corrupt communication is considered normal. People frequently take the name of the Lord in vain, use profane language, and make rude or suggestive comments. Even as Christians, if we allow ourselves to be exposed continuously to this kind of language sooner or later it will influence us to where we, ourselves, are more likely to use these words. We must constantly be on guard.
the light of Paul's comment in
4:29, how would you define "corrupt communication"? Why is it not limited
only to what is known as profanity? Consider also
In contrast, the apostle Paul appeals to believers to use speech that is "good for necessary edification" (Eph. 4:29, NKJV). The word used here literally means "building up." One translation puts it this way "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that ii may benefit those who listen" (Eph. 4:29, NIV).
Our words, then, have a powerful influence, either for good or for evil, for either building up others in faith or for tearing them down Who hasn't experienced themselves the power of words, either for good or for evil, either for edification or for creating doubt? How crucial that we watch not just our words but the tone and manner in which we express them. Indeed, even the right words in the wrong spirit also can be considered "corrupt communication."
How much "corrupt communication" emanates from your own lips? We're not talking just about curse words; we're talking about untruths, slander, exaggeration, being judgmental, and so forth. Take a hard look at yourself: What things might you need to change regarding your speech?
|July 29
Further Study:
|The gift of silence. The wise man Solomon reminds us that there is a
time to speak and also "a time to keep silence"
3:7, NKJV). When Jesus Christ is Lord of your speech, you will not
only speak for the glory of God and the blessing of others; you will also
discern when it is time to keep silent.
Note: In the light of this week's study, consider to what extent you are allowing Jesus Christ to be Lord of your speech. Spend time reading Scripture with the intention to be more attentive to God's words than to your own. Use a journal to record your thoughts. When you conclude your time of silence, you might find that you are more aware of the gift of speech.
"I wish we could have a pledge in our hearts that we would not utter one word against a brother or a sister. . . Do not gossip about them and make remarks about their character, but go to them in the love of Jesus and the love of the truth and try to help them."Ellen G. White, In Heavenly Places, p. 289.
Discussion Questions:
| Jesus was described as a speaker of "gracious words"
4:22, NKJV). This may be a reference to both the content of His speech
and also the way He spoke. What narratives in the Gospels illustrate the
gracious speech of Jesus? What can we learn from these examples?
We tend to think of speech as only an individual thing. But what about us as a church? How do we, as a church, use the power of speech? Why, in many ways, is our responsibility as a church regarding our words more important than as individuals?
What counsel would you give to an individual who works in an environment where corrupt communication is considered normal? When should a person stay to be salt and light? When is it wise to leave?
|I N S I D E Story
|One Small Miracle
Karen Glassford
I am a third-generation Adventist and a missionary kid. I had lived in the mission field, so when I accepted an invitation to go to India to conduct evangelism, I did not think that much in India could surprise me. I was prepared for the poverty I would find, but I wasn't prepared to witness the miracles God performed before my eyes and in my arms-miracles that overwhelmed me with gratitude to God, who can do anything.
Several hundred villagers came to our evangelistic meetings. They came to watch the video about the life of Jesus, to listen to the Bible stories, and to learn how to live healthier lives. I watched their faces as they realized that there is a God who loves them and wants to spend eternity with them; to learn of a future far different from the troubled world they knew. Their eyes filled with joy as they realized that life has a purpose, that hope is real.
One night as I waited to preach, someone pulled on my scarf. I turned to look into the desperate eyes of a woman holding a baby girl. The infant was clawing the air, struggling to breathe. I touched her fevered body and could hear her little chest rattling loudly. The baby's face was turning blue, and the mother's eyes begged me to help her. I placed my hand on the child and prayed, "Dear Lord, help this baby to breathe. Ease her suffering and save her!" The child seemed to calm down a little, but she still fought for every breath. I continued praying, "Lord, this little Hindu baby does not know You, but she needs Your healing touch."
The child's life hung in the balance. My faith seemed so small, but again I prayed, "Lord, for the sake of this child, her family, her village, please heal her now, so that all will know that You are all powerful and that You care about them."
Instantly the baby stopped struggling and fell into a peaceful sleep. Her hot little body cooled, and the rattle in her chest quieted as air flowed freely into her lungs.
I stood transfixed, overwhelmed at what I had just witnessed. As I had held that tiny child, the great God of the universe who had parted seas and calmed storms, had stepped down into that dusty place and touched her. I was holding a miracle in my arms.
Many other miracles marked the meetings that we held in India. Hearts were changed, souls were gathered into God's kingdom. But this one small life will forever stand as a testimony to the compassion of our mighty God.

Ok, supposedly, the Mayan Calendar ends on that date. Because the Mayan Calendar has supposedly predicted significant weather-based events or some shit, people think that "OMGTEHWORLDITPHAILS!," rather than the slightly more rational "Well, maybe the Mayans got bored, or, you know, butchered by disease-ridden Spaniards or something." And so, because of this tiny theory, you know have the Bible Code folks jumping on the wagon, Roland Emmerich making yet another big-budget movie of questionable quality, and a bunch of people running around like nutters.
I just want to say the Mayans never thought the world was going to end. The end of a Great Cycle (this is the fourth Great Cycle) was a time of celebration. The only reason 2012 is different is that it falls on the Winter Solstices and the Sun will line up with the center of the Milky Way. Not that exciting.

A tale of two geysers: In Soda Springs, Idaho, there's a geyser that's more faithful than Yellowstone's Old Faithful. Steamy water erupts every hour, at the top of the hour, and shuts off five minutes later. And it'd be a miracle if it didn't: Many years ago, the city fathers capped off the geyser with a valve to keep the mineral-laden, stinky spray from discoloring the town's buildings.
The two geysers rely on similar geological foundations: Water percolates through Earth's crust and eventually hits a pocket of molten rock that's closer to the surface than normal. The underground water heats up to incredible pressures, and has to find a way out through the rock above.
In Soda Springs, that way out was created back in 1937 when the city drilled down in search of natural hot water for a swimming pool. The valve was added to keep the spray under control.
At Yellowstone, the mechanism is more natural, and more complex. Hot, mineral-laden water rises in the rocky "plumbing" that leads to Old Faithful's narrow nozzle, filling up reservoirs and gumming up the pipes with deposits of silica. The constrictions, as well as the weight of the upwelling water, act as a natural valve, reducing the flow and putting the water below under increasing pressure.
Eventually, the pressure becomes so great that superheated steam bursts through the constrictions, blasting the water above through Old Faithful's nozzle. That blast releases the pressure, setting the stage for another buildup.
The National Park Service has put together an illustrated explanation of the process, and this summer's issue of National Parks magazine also tackles the topic.
Because Old Faithful's valve is controlled by Mother Nature, the geyser doesn't work like clockwork: Yellowstone bases its predictions on the size of the preceding eruption, and the times can be off by a few minutes, as they were this afternoon during our visit. But the 3:25 p.m. show was splendid, with sheets of sunlit spray rising 140 feet in the air.
Soda Springs' eruptions last for five minutes, about the same as Old Faithful's outbursts. The Idaho blast is a far more intimate affair, however: While more than 500 onlookers crowded around the boardwalk for this afternoon's eruptions at Old Faithful, my daughter and I were the only ones to catch the beginning of Thursday's 7 p.m. show in Soda Springs. Shortly after the start, a gaggle of swimsuit-clad youngsters and their parents showed up and joined the party.
You can walk on the silica-laden ground around the Soda Springs opening – something they'd never let you do at Yellowstone. In fact, you can run right through the spray, as the youngsters did. And even if you're watching from the observation platform, about 30 feet from the geyser, you get a strong whiff of hydrogen sulfide. That's the classic rotten-eggs smell that accompanies most geysers, including Old Faithful if the wind is blowing in the right direction. Or should that be the wrong direction?
This weekend, we'll finish looking around Yellowstone and head back to our home base in the Seattle area. Unless we're unavoidably detained, your regular Cosmic Log service should resume Monday.

Greetings from Martian America: The forested mountains of northeastern Utah can be as green and inviting as any in the world, but just over the ridge, you can find an alien landscape as well: rolling hills of red dirt and rock, much like the vistas visible from the Spirit rover on Mars.
The similarity isn't just coincidental. Like at least part of the Red Planet, Utah's red hills were once covered with water. In fact, as you drive through Logan Canyon, the fossilized traces of marine worms from 400 million years ago are visible literally on the side of the road. Today, that bounty of water is gone, leaving Martian-style dirt and stone that is reddened by iron oxide.
To the south, Utah's desert terrain has served as a scientific stand-in for Mars, and there are even parallels between the intriguing pellets known as Martian blueberries and Utah's mysterious "moqui marbles."
For all those parallels, there's one big difference, of course: Even among northeastern Utah's red rocks, greenery can be found.
In fact, as you look across the hills, you might not realize you're looking at a red planet until you get up close.
But for someone who generally sees more pictures from Mars than from Logan Canyon, the visit is an eye-opener.
If the "greening of Mars" someday actually becomes possible, one could imagine that a Utah-style biosphere would be an early model.
This summer, the frontier of Mars on Earth is in a different locale: Devon Island in the Canadian Arctic. Keep up with the dispatches from the Haughton Mars Project and the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station. And stay tuned for more about the honest-to-goodness Mars on Friday, when NASA provides its latest update on the Mars rover missions. You can watch Friday's 1 p.m. ET news briefing via Go to MSN Video to watch Live Coverage of the Mars missions.
Meanwhile, our road trip continues: We'll be getting ready for a hot date with Old Faithful at Yellowstone National Park.

Roadside illusions: When you're in the midst of a 2,000-mile drive through the American West, your eyes can sometimes play tricks on you — and not just because you've been driving for eight hours. That seemingly slick highway may turn out to be totally dry, and those mountains that loom so large and close could be much farther away than you think.
Today we're in Laramie, Wyo., musing on some of the scientific mysteries raised during our dash across the wide, flat state of Nebraska:
Raindrops? Would you believe 'rainblobs'? It looked as if the rain was coming down in sheets when thunderstorms swept over Nebraska on Monday night. But do raindrops really come down as sheets, needles or tapered teardrops? Not really. Ironically, a raindrop frozen in time would look more like a tiny umbrella (or parachute, or jellyfish).
In the online version of the Geophysical Research Letters, University of Washington researchers report the discovery of monster drops that measure as much as a centimeter (almost a half-inch) wide. But these were exotic specimens, found by combing data about rainfall in Brazil and the Marshall Islands. Raindrops usually break up into smaller bits when they get 5 millimeters (two-tenths of an inch) wide.
So why do we think of drops as having a stretched-out or classic "teardrop" shape? That has to do with the way our eyes and brain process visual information about water droplets as they dribble from a faucet, or fall through the glare of a streetlight. For more about the teardrop illusion, check out the "Bad Science" Web site and PBS' "Scientific American Frontiers."
Highway mirages: As my teen-age daughter looked down Interstate 80 on a 90-degree day, with nary a cloud in the sky, she noticed that the road ahead seemed to be covered with a sheen of water ... or was that wet asphalt? Of course, it was neither. Instead, the shimmering reflection is actually caused by refraction. As light rays passed through a hot layer of air close to the highway surface, they were bent — making it look as if the highway is reflecting the glint of the sky or even the image of the car ahead of us.
The phenomenon is a variation of the classic desert mirage. To learn much more about such mirages, pay a visit to the Weather Doctor.
Purple mountains' majesty: Another type of mirage can affect the way we see mountains, refracting light to make them appear larger. And that plays off our perception that bigger objects are closer than smaller objects. Once again, consult the Weather Doctor for an explanation of this "towering" phenomenon.
There's another type of mountain illusion, also having to do with atmospheric refraction. Water vapor in the air tends to scatter wavelengths toward the red side of the spectrum, which explains why the sky is blue . The light reflected from more distant objects has to travel through more of the haze — hence, they tend to appear bluer. As noted in this Encarta encyclopedia article, the scattering phenomenon is what makes mountains purple in the song "America the Beautiful."
If the atmosphere is particularly clear and dry, the light-scattering is reduced. As a result, distant objects are less blue, and we perceive them as closer.
As we look west from Laramie, the mountains ahead are looking pretty purple — so it's time to hit the road. We're hoping to be in Utah tonight.

On the road, wirelessly: A quarter-century ago, motels across the country used to splash three little words on their signs to bring in road-weary travelers: "HBO Color TV."
Today, three different words light up the readerboards: "Free Wireless Internet."
Welcome to the real-life information superhighway: This week I'm in the midst of a cross-country trip from eastern Iowa to western Washington, and today's dispatch comes from the Heartland Inn in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
You know that wireless has arrived when it's offered at campgrounds and even at the roadway rest stop on Interstate 80 near Casey, Iowa. The biggest problem in the search for roadside wireless is knowing exactly what you're getting: A good number of inns are advertising "high-speed Internet" even though it's nothing more than a dataport on the side of the hotel-room phone.
Fortunately, Wi-Fi guides such as PluggedInns are popping up to address the need for speed. (Unfortunately, not all of PluggedInn's search features are ready for prime time yet.) And if you strike out in the hotel search, you can look around for other Wi-Fi hotspots using more general guides such as WiFi 411.
It's only a matter of time before broadband travel guides go mainstream, right down to the little logos in the AAA guidebooks. And the trend isn't limited to the United States, as this article from the New Zealand Herald illustrates. For more about the wireless hotel trend, check out Forbes' Top 10 guide .
Now that I've been able to check my e-mail, I can pass along some items from the mailbox that caught my fancy:
- Zero Gravity Corp. is taking reservations for airplane flights that offer waves of weightlessness, starting in October (via Clark Lindsey's Space Log).
- Rocket Boosters is shipping out SpaceShipOne paraphernalia, including the long-looked-for, hand-canceled postcards from flight day.
- The Cassini spacecraft has emerged from behind the sun and is ready to send back more pictures from Saturn and its surroundings.
- Newly available software lets you process your own imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories.
- Researchers hook up humans to play video games using only their brains.
- "Virtual clay" lets you make sculptures in cyberspace.
Now it's time to hit the road. Next stop: Wyoming.

The 5634 mile journey was completed in 17 hours, 20 minutes with stops in the Azores, Newfoundland and Ohio along the way. The bottles, which have been signed by all the crew, then made the return journey to Scotland, one to Glenfarclas and one to RAF Lossiemouth. RAF Lossiemouth plan to auction their bottle on www.scotchwhiskyauctions.com in July 2013, along with a signed print of the Tornado jet in which it travelled, to raise funds for the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund.
Wing Commander Simon Strasdin Officer Commanding 12(B) Squadron said,
"RAF Lossiemouth and its personnel have a long history of community integration and support and 12(B) Sqn's links with Glenfarclas continue in this tradition. It is very generous of J. & G. Grant to donate one of these bottles to us. The bottle will be auctioned before we deploy on operations to Afghanistan in the summer, hopefully raising a good sum of money for the RAF Benevolent Fund".
Available exclusively to Travel Retail, the Glenfarclas 18 Years Old will be offered to the Travel Retail sector worldwide, although it won't always be delivered by Tornado!

Will be interesting if he'll get the best out of Niasse seeing as he had faith in him at under 23 level where he was scoring? I reckon he'll get more game time. Him and DCL upfront may get goals?
How many of us would have gone for Puel as our manager?Not (m)any, I suspect
Ranieri, Shakespeare and WalshProven winning formula - but, I suspect, not for any of usTinkering one trick pony and all that
I don't think even the best of Niasse is good enough and premiership level, maybe championship? This will be Unsworths achilles heel as it was for Koeman, scoring goals

In short, I'm curious to know what modes of degeneration of metric might still keep the curvature bounded. More precisely, assume we are keeping the total volume of the manifold fixed and deform the metric, e.g by a conformal factor that preserves the volume. If we allow the metric to degenerate, namely allow it to become semi-definite, $g_{ij} \geq 0$ on some set, is it possible to keep the Ricci curvature bounded below and yet let the metric degenerate? If not, is it possible to still keep some $L^p$ bound on the sectional, Ricci, or scalar curvature?
Edit: It seems that the post requires some clarification: I am aware that there is whole field of studying degeneration of metrics, convergence etc. I was mostly curious to see examples of degeneration of metrics while curvature is bounded. Examples that could, for example, illustrate when you can keep the scalar curvature bounded but Ricci, or any $L^p$ norm of Ricci, might blow up. More than the conformal deformation I was curious to see an example of the case when metric in a K\"ahler class degenerates as one varies the potential, but one curvature functional, say $\Vert Ric \Vert_p$ remains bounded.

Perfectly textured inside and out, these scones truly are the real deal. Just a touch of butter or your favorite jam is all the embellishment they need.
- Yield
- Makes 1 dozen scones
- Active Time
- 45 min
- Total Time
- 45 min
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Vegetable oil for greasing
- Equipment: a large griddle (preferably cast-iron) or a 10-inch cast-iron skillet
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a large bowl, then blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in buttermilk and egg with a fork just until a soft dough forms.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. With lightly floured hands, divide dough into thirds and knead each piece 3 or 4 times. Pat each piece into a 6-inch round (1/2 inch thick), then cut each round into 4 wedges.
- Heat griddle over low heat until hot, then lightly oil.
- Working in 2 batches, dust each wedge of dough with flour, patting off excess, then cook over low heat, undisturbed, 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-low and cook until puffed and undersides are golden-brown, 3 to 5 minutes more. Turn scones over and cook until undersides are golden-brown, 6 to 8 minutes (watch closely; move scones and adjust heat as needed so they cook through without burning). Turn scones on edges and cook until golden-brown, about 1 minute per edge. Cut one scone open to check for doneness.
- Transfer to a rack and cool to warm. (Lightly oil griddle between batches.)

Who Have Been The Toughest Former Red Sox To See In A Yankees Uniform?
Like us on Facebook hereFollow @mlbreports
Saturday, December.15/2012
By Saul Wisnia, Red Sox Correspondent (Read his blog 'Fenway Reflections' here): Follow @SaulWizz
Pending a failed physical or other unforeseen mishap, Kevin Youkilis will be manning third base and wearing pinstripes when the Red Sox open the 2013 season at Yankee Stadium on April 1. Amazingly, it won't be until July 19 that the teams will square off in Boston, giving Fenway Park fans their first chance to see their former favorite son in a New York uniform.
Red Sox Nation had an opportunity to adjust to life with Youk in the visitor's dugout when the White Sox visited Fenway shortly after his trade to Chicago last summer, but this is a much different situation. Boston fans may develop a kinder, gentler hatred for the Yankees since 2004, but there is something about seeing a former Red Sox in enemy colors that still tugs at the heartstrings.
Here's a look back at some of the biggest Boston heroes to wind up in the Bronx — and how they fared on their Fenway returns. Read the rest of this entry

Elvis Presley não morreu. Ele vive nas fotos de Alfred Wertheimer, de 1956, no Rock´n´Roll Hall of Fame…
Elvis 1956
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has unveiled its latest exhibit devoted to the King of Rock and Roll as a part of the Museum's 15th anniversary celebration this September. ELVIS 1956: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer is open to the public in the Circular Gallery of the Main Exhibit Hall. Taken during the year Elvis turned 21, Alfred Wertheimer's photographs are a remarkable visual record of a defining time for rock and roll's most enduring figure.
1956 was the year Elvis first appeared in the national consciousness. His RCA records and national broadcast helped make him a star. Alfred Wertheimer, then a young freelance photojournalist, was there to document the extraordinary transition.
ELVIS 1956 is the first and last unguarded look at Elvis, featuring images of him in every aspect of his life—from performance and with the fans, to the recording studio and at home with his family. On stage and off, Elvis defined the notion of "rock style." His electrifying synthesis of rhythm and blues, gospel, and country bridged traditional divides between white and black, urban and rural. For tens of millions of fans, Elvis transformed the beat of everyday life. His music and style helped launch a cultural revolution.
In addition, the Rock Hall has on display nearly 30 new artifacts on loan from the Graceland Archives and are located next to the photography exhibit. Highlights include:
· Shirt and belt Presley wore for performance rehearsals in 1970. Seen on the poster for the film Elvis: That's the Way It Is.
· Hand-painted poster for Presley's February 1955 performance in Memphis.
· Presley's 1974 Grammy Award for Best Inspirational Performance for "How Great Thou Art," the handwritten set list and jumpsuit from the show where the performance was recorded.
· Proclamation from the City of Memphis declaring February 25, 1961 to be Elvis Presley Day .
· A 1974 Guild acoustic guitar used by in concert by Presley in 1976.
This exhibition has been organized in conjunction with Govinda Gallery, Washington, D.C.
The photographs showcased by the Rock Hall represent a rare alignment of cultural institutions each synthesizing a creative and cultural history wave. The Smithsonian Institution is traveling large-format pigment images printed from negatives from the same period of intimate and informal Wertheimer images featured in the Rock Hall's exhibition. Developed collaboratively by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery and the Govinda Gallery, "Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer" will be on view at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., Oct. 23 through Jan. 23, 2011. "Elvis at 21" is sponsored nationally by HISTORY™.

|This dissertation consists of three chapters of interrelated work in which I investigate the implications of money management incentives to delegated asset allocation and to asset pricing in the context of illiquid markets.; In the first chapter, using a continuous-time dynamic portfolio choice framework, I study the problem of an investor who exogenously decides to delegate the administration of her savings to a risk-averse money manager who trades multiple risky assets in a thin market. I consider a manager who is rewarded for increasing the value of assets under management, which is the product of both the manager's portfolio allocation decisions, taken over the investment period, and the money flows into and out of the fund, as a result of the portfolio performance relative to an exogenous benchmark. The model proposed here shows that, whenever the manager can substitute between more illiquid and less illiquid risky assets, she is likely to choose to hold an initial portfolio that is skewed toward more illiquid assets, and to gradually shift toward less illiquid assets over the investment period. The model further shows that several misalignments of objectives between the investor and the manager can lead to large utility costs on the part of the investor, and that these costs decrease with asset illiquidity. Solving for the shadow costs of illiquidity, the model indicates that delegated rather than direct investing is likely to lead to larger price discounts.; The second chapter is joint work with Juan Sotes-Paladino. It builds upon the first chapter and extends the theoretical framework to analyze a liquidity-constrained dynamic asset allocation problem in which investors delegate their portfolios to mutual funds that operate under a family organization. The funds are allowed to cross their trades of illiquid common holdings in response to the interests of the family as a whole, whereas investors' flows are assumed to respond asymmetrically to funds' performance, rewarding good performers disproportionately more than they penalize bad ones. We then study a previously unexplored channel through which fund families can play favorites among their affiliated funds: to have some funds avoid the costs of illiquidity by making others adopt suboptimal investment decisions. We find that families' ability to cross-trade among member funds allows them to save on transaction costs but at the same time elicits higher risk-taking by affiliated fund managers, compared to their standalone counterparts. We show that the additional costs of agency that investors incur under such a money management structure are likely to increase with asset liquidity. However, by imposing position limits on their funds' portfolios, we show that investors can improve their welfare outcome. We further find that families' optimal strategies can induce a negative correlation between their affiliated funds' after-flow returns, creating diversification benefits to the family's overall portfolio. Nevertheless, the correlation between portfolios' returns can still be higher for affiliated funds than for comparable standalones, due to the overlap in holdings. Finally, the model in this chapter suggests that, as market liquidity increases, fund families are likely to favor more correlated asset holdings within each member fund's portfolio.; The third chapter is joint work with Breno Schmidt. In this third chapter we propose to test some of the empirical implications derived from the results of the second chapter. In particular, we propose to test the hypothesis that mutual funds affiliated with large families tend to coordinate trades so as to mitigate the damaging effects that liquidity shortfalls can have on funds' performance and consequent shareholder redemptions. From this co-insurance hypothesis, we intend to derive important implications for the price reaction to asset fire sales and for managerial risk-taking incentives. First, we use a bootstrap-based approach to show that offsetting trades among funds affiliated with larger families are more likely to be the result of coordinated trade strategies. Second, consistent with internal coordination, our preliminary results indicate that there is weak or no price pressure on traded securities mostly held in common by distressed funds affiliated with large families. Finally, we make use of the known result that, due to strategic complementarities among investors' share redemptions, the generally convex relationship between flows and past performance does not appear to hold true for funds invested in less liquid assets. Consistent with our working hypothesis, our preliminary results indicate that this is true only for funds affiliated with small families. As a result, by improving the convexity of their implicit payoff structures, co-insurance strategies at the family level can potentially encourage individual fund managers to take extra risks.

The End of Sa'y
At the last point of your Sa'y, at Marwa, cut your hair short or clip your nails. Remove your Ihram garments and wear your regular clothes. Feel free! With empty hands and in a state of thirst leave Marwa, go to find your Ismail ...!
Listen carefully! Don't you hear the humming of water from here? See! The thirsty birds are all flying above this dry desert! Zam-Zam has quenched Ismail's thirst. A tribe of strangers from the very far lands has occupied this empty valley. The thirsty people of the earth have made a circle around Zam-Zam. A city of stones has grown in this thirsty and desperate desert. There has been a shower of relevation ... a house of "freedom" and "love"!
After returning from Sa'y, while thirsty and lonely, your loneliness will end here. Zam-Zam is flowing under your Ismail's foot. People are all around you. What else do you see? Allah is your next-door neighbor! You have gotten so close to Him.
- Oh man, tired of "sa'y" rely on "love"!
- Oh "responsible man", try your best since your Ismail is thirsty!
- Oh, "the one in love", wish!
- Hope that love and wishes do miracles!
- And you, Hajj, who are coming from Sa'y ...
- From the dry desert of "your existence" and the depth of "your neglected" nature, a fountain is humming!
- Listen carefully to your heart.
- You will hear the humming.
People who have come from all over the world. From the mountain of Marwa go toward Zam-Zam. Have a few drinks, wash your face and bring some of that water back to where you came from so that you may present it as a gift to your people!

Now that is a damn shame. They had some stark raving worthless drek on there. But there was also some gems not published anywhere else.
Any particular gems you might recommend? I might just pick up a couple if they're good books at a decent price.
It is the only place I know of to get anything on how to fight with a Tomahawk (not that it is a high demand thing, but hey I think Tomahawks are cool). Dwight C. McLemore has two books and a DVD on it.
Thanks I4L. Time to pick up some of the pricey history books, a few spares & loaners, a couple of nice-to-haves and curiosities.
Prepper Press Acquires Rights to James Ballou's Survivalist TitlesPaladin Press, a long-term publisher of survivalist books, went out of business at the end of 2017. They published many great books that are now no longer available. Prepper Press, however, acquired rights to one of their best authors, James Ballou, adding to their inventory five of his survivalist and skill-based titles. BEST OF ALL – they're now less expensive than they were with Paladin Press!

It's called the Ingestion Event Marker (IEM), is made by Proteus Digital Health, Inc., has been available in Europe since 2011, and could turn out to be extremely helpful for people who have trouble remembering to take their medications. It's a tiny sensor, the size of a grain of sand, which you ingest, either embedded in a pill or any other consumable. It's then powered by the acid in your stomach and it communicates with the outside world through a patch that's applied to the skin on your belly. It's also excreted, you know, the normal way.
Not only can it tell you when or if you've taken your meds, it also transmits information about other physiological and behavioral metrics including heart rate, body position and activity. "Then the information can be sent to a mobile phone app to the patient, and, with the patient's permission, their medical caregivers." The idea is not to watch over patients and scream at them for not complying with their prescriptions, but to help doctors understand their habits and tailor dosages adequately. And well, maybe also scream a little. There's no point in taking 70% of your antibiotics, dude. You're just breeding for really strong bacteria that way.
There's no word on cost.

Continuing the trend in furniture design for pieces that shield their users from view, while providing a certain acoustic benefit, Bla Station have launched a new seat/room-divider, designed by Cate & Nelson and premiered at last month's Stockholm Furniture Fair.
Consisting of a frame of laquered steel, covered with a mesh fabric, 'Antoinette' affords the sitter or sitters a sense of privacy, particularly when used in a contract context. The upholstered seat is available in either leather or fabric, and can be removed for storage.
