Marshall leaves Cougars at altar
Applause and ovations in Charleston gave way to a quiet car ride back to Rock Hill, and that's when the second thoughts began to creep in. Gregg Marshall called Winthrop University president Anthony DiGiorgio, the man who until a few hours earlier had been his boss. And what had been one of the more heartwarming chapters in College of Charleston basketball history took a sudden, shocking turn. Less than one day after the Cougars announced their new coach, the search is on for another one. Marshall, the former Charleston assistant who was introduced to a standing ovation Wednesday and agreed in principle to a six-year contract, made an abrupt about-face Thursday and returned to his old job at Winthrop, which he has led to six NCAA Tournament berths in eight seasons as head coach. ...Published in: The Post and Courier - Page A1,11

Does debt have a color? Of course red symbolizes debt, but in borrowing, does it matter to minority students and their families whom they are borrowing from?

Johnson, the founder of the BET empire and the first black billionaire, has created a loan business that will focus on urban students and on those who attend historically black colleges and other institutions with large minority enrollments.

Panel's Draft Report Calls for an Overhaul of Higher Education Nationwide

The report by the panel appointed last year by Education Secretary Margaret Spellings was highly critical of the nation's institutions of higher education. It said there was a lack of accountability to show that students were learning, that college costs have risen too high, and that "unacceptable numbers of college graduates" were entering the workforce without skills that employers say they need. ...Published in: The New York Times - website

NHS cuts force patients to wait for treatment30th March 2011
NHS managers have conceded that patients are being made to wait longer for treatment as the health service makes cost cuts.
There is evidence of hospitals being told to delay treatments to save cash while elsewhere GPs are finding they are having to tell patients they cannot be operated on until their conditions get worse.
The Primary Care Trust Network admits the position is undesirable and will prove unpopular.
It comes as the NHS is facing the challenge of making £20 billion of savings over the next three years and is about to undergo a major shake-up in terms of commissioning and management structures.
The claims come in a submission by the PCT Network to the Co-operation and Competition Panel, which is looking into allegations that NHS managers are trying to reduce the amount of business private providers receive.
In a letter, Director of the PCT Network David Stout, says: "From the information we have received from PCTs, it is the case that in a context of financial constraint, a number have reluctantly decided to temporarily reduce activity levels this year to help contain costs, by asking providers to extend (or not further reduce) their waiting times."
He said that PCTs, working with their practice-based commissioners, are reviewing referral thresholds and guidelines.
"Where choice of provider is appropriate, patients are still being offered this once a decision to refer has been taken, albeit with a longer waiting time or higher treatment threshold," he said.
But he said PCTs do not believe they are breaching any rules.

whilst i appreciate this does not directly address this problem but along with thousands of other people this government needs to stop giving money to other countries and spend it on the nhs.
another point of anger is the lack of very hard rules that people from outside the eu using the nhs as a
free asset, the government needs to put into action rules that need these people to pay up front first.

Calvin Harris has come clean and admitted he and Rita Ora split 'some time ago' after he was spotted leaving a Hollywood club with a brunette on Wednesday night.
Calvin, 30, confirmed his single status on Instagram, writing: 'To address speculation, myself and Rita ended our relationship some time ago.
'She is a beautiful talented woman and I wish her the best.'
We don't know the exact ins and outs but we're guessing their hectic work schedules had a lot to do with it.
Last month 23-year-old Rita pretty much confessed that their long-distance relationship was getting the better of them.
'Sometimes you fly for 20 hours, sometimes you only fly for five hours,' she said. 'It's an effort, but you make it work.
'I'm not a fan of long distance relationships. If you had a choice, you want that person with you. It makes me pretty sad. But you work with what you've got,' she added to The Mirror.
Rita started dating the Sottish DJ in May last year following her messy split from Rob Kardashian.

[OPEN] Pitch of the Year [VOTG Chat Drop]
Why was it, that loud, obnoxious animals seemed to always toot their loudest when Amaris happened to be walking by?
The lush Riptide Isles stood tall around her, the sound of moving water a constant, comforting thrum in the background, the scent of the mountainous lands, the robust bush that grew there, the wildlife - it was meant to be a bit of an escape for the mare, a retreat from the monotony of her duties. Besides, her role involved lots of thinking, and sometimes, thinking required inspiration, new information, new stimulation - she had not been to the Riptide Isles in a long time, and then, only briefly.
But the dragonmare was not to receive quite the reprieve she sought today. But, perhaps, she would receive the inspiration for original thoughts she sought.
The parrot was heavily decorated seemingly in items and knick-knacks it had collected and hoarded over the years, and its voice travelled easily to her awaiting ears.
Magical rocks? The question inevitably arose within her mind, and she joined in Dramyrth's amusement at the idea of collecting more magic, after so recently having not one, but two experiences that had left her fundamentally changed. As she approached, with a curt nod to any already present, she listened to the 'sales pitch' of the macaw, and gathered that he was peddling some kind of object that would summon one of the Gods.
The Gods. Amaris had recently witnessed the summoning of the Moon Goddess by her Seer, her rank required such things to become almost commonplace - and yet she could not resist the pull, the temptation. Of course, there was a 'new' God in town - would what the bird was selling work on it as well?
"Why not?" she asked to no-one in particular, as Dramyrth settled upon 'his' spot atop her withers to watch the proceedings with relative interest.

-- magic and force allowed, no death or permanent damage --
Today is a most magnificent day for flying! Not too hot, not too cold, and the seasonal winds of change bring currents that can send soaring to such great heights.
Jubilantly, the petite woman throws herself off the Edge's cliffs, using her strong wings to push her higher and higher, to the point where air can support her, and she can coast with minimal effort. 'Round and 'round and 'round she goes, a dot in the sky, until she decides to come down to Earth. Somewhere out over the ocean, where there is nothing but the squawking of seagulls and peaceful silence, screeching manages to reach her, even up there. Rocks? Is that it? Magical Rocks?
Well, it wouldn't be the first time something bizarre has been proposed like that. Interest piqued, she angles her feathers so she can dip down towards the Isles and investigate further. One pass shows a very colorful bird - more colorful than she's ever seen before, and a second reveals a multitude of trinkets surrounding it. Her friend Amaris is there too! Well, that's reason enough to come down and pay attention, isn't it? Plus she's met a few of the Gods, but there are others she'd like to say hello to, you know? Kind of like a 'get to know your neighbors' type of thing. So the golden woman lands daintily in the sand a few feet away and trots over, giving Amaris a gentle nudge as she comes up alongside the dragonmare. "Xe's awfully loud, eesn't xe?" she whispers in confidence before settling in to wait and see what this 'contest' is all about.

Not many more gathered, and Amaris was surprised to realise that she recognised all bar the aged steed who had preceded her own arrival. A small blossom of joy swelled within her at the thought of this development - it wasn't often the dragonmare found herself in company she knew, company she had met before and whose individuality she had varying degrees of knowledge about. The spiked mare, Wessex, earned a nod, and then Yael, a returning friendly nudge and grin, and Ingrid, another nod and warm smile (the dragonmare was blissfully ignorant to the grey mare's dubiousness over dragons).
A small chuckle was offered in response to Yael, along with light tones that agreed with the golden mare; "Aye, he seems to have a knack for projecting his voice." An ear twisted towards Ingrid then, and Amaris was surprised to hear the girl's input. "Not a bad idea, though our Goddess didn't ask for one, it couldn't hurt, surely…"
The dragonmare let her voice trail off with the thought, before the parrot announced the price of these magical, god-summoning stones.
A race? An obstacle course? A choice - we must choose a path, she says to her bonded, golden eyes looking to each cavern opening with doubt trickling through her mind. Amaris wasn't sure she was inspired enough about magical rocks to go forth and risk her and her beloved Dramrth's neck down a cavern that may or may not be safe or deadly.
Why not? Dramyrth echoed back to her, and the mare was easily swayed to his opinion, riding on the rising tide of his emotions, the excitement, the anticipation. So she nodded her understanding, moved to where the parrot directed them, and upon the drop of his feather to the ground below, she charged off through her chosen cave, aiming to tread carefully, but swiftly: if she was going to do this, she was going to do it properly.

A race? Why, Yael hasn't participated in a race since… well, her pre-wing days. Which was a very, very long time ago, in case you were wondering. Back when she was simply an illustrious bay vagabond, half-traumatized and stumbling over the common language - back then the ran like the wind, sprinting up and over sand dunes like her ancestors were bred to do. Wings, of course, are great for the sky but not so great for running about on land, or in caves. They hinder aerodynamics and movement, and it's really no fun when debris gets stuck in her feathers - sometimes painfully so. She glances over at Amaris and Ingrid (whom she greeted earlier with a bright smile and cheerful salutation), wondering if they should, perhaps, team up? But there is only one rock, she assumes, so even if two or three choose the same tunnel, only one will get there first….
On second thought, she'll chance it alone, unwilling to want to fight a herdmate for a silly little rock (even if it is magical).
She nods her assent, and when the glittery bird's wing drops, Yael leps forward, her legs finding purchase easily on the sand as she holds her wings tightly against her sides. Racing, towards the trio of caves, she veers towards her chosen tunnel, hoping to be the first one inside it.

[quote='Random Event' pid='204824' dateline='1494362478']
The parrot's squawks seem to be followed by a tumbling and grumbling of rocks, and Amaris pauses her strides in the darkening cavern to ensure the cave around her and Dramyrth isn't about to collapse in on itself. Once satisfied that the way ahead was safe (at least from immediate cave-in), the dragonmare continued onwards, tentatively at first, but her steps grew more confident as with each stride. She swallowed her concern for the others - surely the cost this parrot was asking did not involve taking one's life, but then recent interactions with odd magical creatures did give Amaris the glowing silver scars upon her chest.
By their soft, ambient light, she scoured the cavern, and came to what appeared to be the end of it. With a curious, confused expression hidden in the shadows, the dragonmare summons two blue spirits to aid with lighting the cave, and allowing her to see the gaps in the rocks, the way they are positioned - was this a part of the cave-in the parrot caused? An obstacle to disrupt her journey?
Golden eyes peered through the gaps, and one of her spirits melded through the stony wall to illuminate the other side. Paths, two of them, continued on, and though Dramyrth chirruped something about turning back and trying again, the dragonmare was content to push onwards, to dismantle the rocks and choose her way from there. So she began, testing, poking and prodding with her muzzle and the aid of Dramyrth's draconic strength, finding the more loosely stacked rocks and pushing or pulling them out of the way. It wasn't a fast process - the dragonmare had no desire to disturb the entire wall and cause another cave-in that engulfed herself or her companion - but soon enough a gap large enough for her to slip through appeared, and slip through it she did.
A fork in the road, another choice, but only two options this time. Something about the right path called to her, though no clues were given as to where it would leave. With a thought, she closed off her magic to the spirit dragons, and carried onwards through the darkness, her chest lighting her way.
Amaris chooses to clear the debris and then chooses the right path

No need to mirror my post length - I have a horrible case of the rambly writer syndrome!
I like being tagged!
You are always welcome to 'try' and use force/magic on Amaris, but similar to spar posts, leave it to me to decide how the damage is taken please~

The obnoxiously self-sacrificing part of Yael is glad none of the others will encounter dangers, overly confident in her dragon-self's ability to subdue almost anything with a roaring breath of dragon-fire. Even the least intelligent creatures have some sort of base instinct to avoid fire.

My New Book "Strange and Bizarre Stories from the Bible"
Here is a brief summary:
Anyone who advances beyond the standard, told-in-Sunday-school stories from the Bible will find that the all-time best seller has a number of oddities. In fact, even the standards are a bit wild if you think about it: A man getting swallowed by a fish and living to tell about it, men being unharmed inside a fiery furnace, God commanding Abraham to kill his son, and David bringing down a giant with one shot.
For many, the unusual claims of the Bible serve as ammunition to challenge the credibility of its content. But there is another way to look at these odd, even mind-boggling portions of Scripture. They provide a means for God to get vitally important messages through to us. Perhaps it takes a dose of the strange and bizarre to get our attention.
The author has been a pastor and Bible teacher for more than 30 years, and now in "Strange and Bizarre Stories from the Bible" he tackles these seemingly strange stories and powerfully presents them to the skeptic and the believer alike.
Thank all of you for your encouragement.

the best data can get adjusted the most, to make it more like the bad data, then it can count for more
This is Double-Good-Science!
The 'scientists' at NOAA 'adjusted' the buoy data deliberately adding a weighting to good data to make it fit the bad data supporting the global warmist mantra.
It's gotta to be doubly good for ya all!
Read all about it here along with the other ways the data was fiddled to meet the Gorebull outcomes with a 'global warming pause'.

Thank you to Xavier for visiting today!
It was a peaceful night when Barrett and his daughter were driving home… then something happened. Something sinister.
Between shadow and light, there is uncertainty…
Now the only person Barrett can turn to for help is Anson, a man gifted with psychic abilities beyond reason. But Anson is also his ex-boyfriend, a man whose heart he'd already broken.
If you can see, you have to help.
As Anson delves deeper into the circumstances surrounding Barrett's accident, he begins to realize that he's not only in a race against time, but in a battle against his own broken heart and the terrifying understanding that whatever has taken Barrett's child is a force of evil beyond anything either man has ever encountered.
And between decision and consequences, there are… Earthly ConcernsSeventh Window Amazon US Amazon UK

Quick reminders
- Request to close FS#30045?
- Revise and possibly expand ArchWiki:Contributing
- After that the "ArchWiki Tutorial" link in Main Page could be pointed to ArchWiki:Contributing (and swapped with "Forum Etiquette"?).
- Add some references to Special:SpecialPages tools
- Also reconsider [2]
- Write checklists for the most common operations
- Deleting a page:
- When marking a page for deletion, the content shouldn't be removed (including redirect code)
- A similar checklist is needed when breaking redirects (e.g. when marking them for deletion)
- Check interlanguage backlinks at least on the same wiki (Help:i18n#Finding articles with specific interlanguage links)
- Moving a page
- Creating a page
- Moving a section within an article or to another article
- Deleting content
- Adding a translation
- ...?
- Deleting a page:
- Internationalization:
- ArchWiki Translation Team (Language) pages could be associated with localized Category:Request:Translation (Language) categories
- Templates should be coded so that they are language-neutral, with all their messages coded as {{{msg1|default English message}}}: non-English articles should use meta-templates that simply call the basic template localizing its messages: {{Template|msg1=localized message}}
- An alternative could make use of parser functions (should be installed, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions) in order to recognize the page namespace and sub-namespace and print the correct messages
- Templates:
- The documentation of article status templates requires improvement
- Use Template:Deletion also for sections? (modify the heading)
- Merge Template:Expansion and Template:Stub?
- Template:Split? (as opposed to Template:Merge)
- Move Template:Moveto to Template:Move and Translateme to Translate?
- Move Template:Out of date to Template:Outdated?
- Is Template:Bad translation necessary? (Accuracy, Poor writing, Translateme, Out of date, Stub and Expansion could replace it more accurately)
- Template:Poor formatting? Or Template:Poor style to include also Template:Poor writing?
- Template:Announcement (find better name?) to be used for temporary announcements instead of Note?
- Use Template:Error in more templates? Create, translate and use localized versions.
- Move Template:Error to Template:Undefined Parameter?
- Template:Pkg and Template:AUR: add a 2nd optional argument for specifying package version (thus keeping link style)? e.g. pacman<=3.5
Also consider using an optional parameter to disable the exact match flag.
- Template with category to keep track of external bug reports?
- Check Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Box_BLUE - Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Note, Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Box_RED - Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Warning, Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Box_GREEN - Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Tip, Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Box_YELLOW
Instead of using queries to get the differences, we could just delete the meta-templates "Box COLOR", making Note, Warning and Tip use Box directly, thus also preventing the Box COLOR templates to be used inappropriately
Template:Box YELLOW should probably just be deleted, since 1) it's not coherent with the other 3 colors (#[D8]{6}|#[FA]{6} vs #[DB]{6}|#[FD]{6}) and 2) still for coherence, we'd also need the red+blue and green+blue versions
- Do we need Template:FAQ or can we just always use normal sections like in FAQ?
- Deprecate Template:Wikipedia and Template:Gentoo? (used sparingly) Remember their translations!
- Template for linking forum threads in the vein of Pkg, AUR, Grp, Bug...
- Disk Encryption should be mentioned in the Beginners' Guide
- Split Common Applications/Games from Common Applications?
- Merge PKGBUILD Templates with PKGBUILD? See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1127103#p1127103
- Submit dark CSS skin?
- Update content of Category:English with links to the most important articles and link it from Main Page
- Do we really need localized Sandboxes? Sandbox (Português) Caixa de Areia (note it's categorized also under Category:Português)
- Clean up the various subpages of Sandbox?
- Move Daemon to Daemons?
- Define how much time must pass before a dead link can be deleted since it was marked with linkrot
- Remember there are also MediaWiki:Sidebar, MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Common.js, MediaWiki:Sitenotice, MediaWiki:Anonnotice, MediaWiki:Editnotice, MediaWiki:Talkpagetext, MediaWiki:Editinginterface, MediaWiki:Newarticletext, see mw:Manual:Interface/Sitenotice, mw:Help:Edit notice
- See if I can improve Python Package Guidelines a bit
- See if the short articles in Category:DeveloperWiki can be merged somewhere
- Merge Community repo candidates somewhere?
- Decide what to do with Community cleanup (merge with DeveloperWiki:Community_Repo_Cleanup?), Christmas Cleanup (merge with DeveloperWiki:Community_Repo_Cleanup?), Multilib Cleanup (merge with DeveloperWiki:Community_Repo_Cleanup?), Rebuilds:Libnl3, Berlios Packages, ArchHosting
See Talk:Christmas Cleanup
Make a proper DeveloperWiki namespace?
- Create an ArchWiki:Statistics page?
- move there ArchWiki:Maintenance Team#Statistics?
- top contributors? (all time, last 30 days, all time edits/day (considers registration date)) query1, query2 -- do not include special users (admins, maintainers, bots) or put them in a separate list
- forum thread
- Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits
- think well about the possible negative effects (but also about the positive ones)
- the page could be easily kept up to date with Wiki Monkey
