For the opening weekend of MSF-LaQuinta College Football Road Trip, our esteemed Founding Editor Jerod Morris will be in Norman, Oklahoma courtesy of the fine folks at LaQuinta.
He will be taking in the Big 12 Game of the Week between the #6 Oklahoma Sooners and #15 Kansas State Wildcats. I'll try not to let my jealousy derail this preview.
And even though he didn't ask me to go with him (jerk!), I'll give Jerod some space at the end of the preview to discuss what he's looking forward to most about this leg of the tip.
But first, let's discuss the game.
Kansas State at Oklahoma
Both teams enter unblemished, but what is surely in the heads of both sides is the 58-17 shellacking that the then-11th ranked Sooners handed the then-10th ranked Wildcats last season. In fact, the series has been almost all Oklahoma for the last nine years, as OU has won 5 in a row and 8 of 9 overall.
Given how tough the Sooners are at home under Bob Stoops (42-1 in their last 43 games, a gaudy 77-3 overall), Bill Snyder's team may be hard-pressed to buck that trend.
In last year's blowout, Oklahoma quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Landry Jones threw for 505 yards and 5 touchdowns, while Kansas State accumulated just 58 yards passing behind the arm of dual-threat quarterback Collin Klein. Klein added 92 yards and two scores on the ground, but it was far too little against Oklahoma's high-flying passing attack.
This year, things could be a little bit different.
Heisman candidate Landry Jones is looking to have another stellar game against Kansas State.
Let's look at the keys for each team.
What Kansas State Must Do To Win
Let's face it: the Wildcats really have their work cut out for them in this game.
In addition to last year's nightmare at Bill Snyder Stadium being fresh in their minds, Kansas State is facing an Oklahoma team that was off last week, meaning the Sooners have had almost two full weeks of preparation time to perfect a scheme to stop Klein.
There's also the issue of Kansas State struggling until late in the game in a 35-21 win against North Texas a week ago. The Wildcats turned the ball over twice and only outgained North Texas by 20 yards for the game.
Against Oklahoma, it is imperative that the Wildcats protect Klein. Last year, the Sooners recorded 7 sacks against Klein, which is especially impressive given his ability to move. The line will need to create lanes for Klein to run and give him time to pass.

One way they can keep the Sooners' front at bay is with John Hubert. The junior tailback is averaging 6.9 yards per carry (although 95 of his 296 rushing yards came on a single play vs. Missouri State). If Hubert can have success it will force Oklahoma to change their plan of unending harassment of Klein.
Defensively, the Wildcats have to at least slow down Landry Jones and the Oklahoma passing attack. Even though Sooners' running back Damien Williams has scored 5 touchdowns and run for 259 yards in just two games, Kansas State must take their chances with the running game beating them as opposed to letting Jones torch their secondary for another record-setting day.
What Oklahoma Must Do To Win
With the absurd home record and recent history, it might seem like Oklahoma simply has to show up to win this game.
I disagree.
Because of last year's embarrassment, Kansas State will come into Norman looking for redemption and a spot at the table in the discussion of national title contenders. Oklahoma can't come out flat and expect to trounce this team again.
A very important component of Oklahoma's success, not surprisingly, is protecting Landry Jones. Last year, Jones wasn't sacked at all against the Wildcats, and he was only taken down 10 times all year. This year Jones has already been sacked 4 times in two games. The offensive line will have to hold up to allow him time to pick apart the defense.
Damien Williams is averaging a robust 13 yards per carry, but he only has 20 attempts in two games. If I were Bob Stoops I would find some more creative ways to get the ball in the junior's hands.

Lastly, Oklahoma should stack the defense against the run. Take away Hubert, limit what Klein can do with his legs, and force him to throw. That philosophy worked to perfection last year, as they turned Klein into a completely one-dimensional, and therefore ineffective player.
Kansas State-Oklahoma Prediction
While it is plausible that Kansas State could exorcise their demons against Oklahoma, I certainly don't see them doing it in Norman.
I expect Landry Jones to have much success and the Sooners' defense to bottle up Klein and force a couple of turnovers en route to a fairly decisive win.
Final Score: Oklahoma 38 | Kansas State 24

Three Things Jerod is Looking Forward To
That's Jerod on the right. Not sure who the guy is on the left…
1. Mostly, I am looking forward to getting the MSF-La Quinta College Football Road Trip kicked off. I've been salivating to get on the road ever since the opportunity was presented to me, and Norman is a great place to start. I've heard it's a lot like Bloomington, where I went to school, so I'm thinking I'll feel right at home.
If you want to follow along with the journey, this weekend, do so here:
- Posts and photo diaries here at MSF
- Videos at YouTube.com/JerodMSF
- Tweets from @JerodMorris
- Instagrams (jerodmorris)
- And plenty of fun Facebook status updates (Facebook.com/JerodMSF)
2. I'm looking forward to quality time with my little bro Bryce, currently a freshman football at Lewisville High School here in Texas. Though his allegiances have shifted towards Oregon – yes, mostly thanks to the uniforms – Bryce used to cite Oklahoma as his favorite team thanks to Adrian Peterson. Up until this year Bryce played running back and ran with a similar style to Peterson – tough and punishing and fast. His coaches have him focusing more at linebacker this year, but it will still be fun to see where Peterson went to school and hopefully give him a taste of what could be possible for him if he keeps working hard, stays humble and hungry, and gets his work done in the classroom.
3. And finally, I'm looking forward to a good game. We have a great tickets (50-yard line baby!), and it's been a long time since I've been to a college football game as a spectator. I'm expecting a raucous atmosphere, which will make it a fun experience even without a specific rooting interest.
4. And here's a bonus one: I've had a few late nights recently, so I'm also looking forward to comfortable beds and a couple good nights of sleep. I know La Quinta won't let me down.

Livin the American Dream
Fucking Thieves
So I was at LA Fitness in Livonia tonight and somebody broke into my locker and stole my shit. Lost my car, house and work keys, wallet, debit card, company credit card, drivers license, social security card, work clothes and other stuff. And of course the gym has 0 cameras.
I made a police report, reported my debit and the company cc stolen, put my house on high alert for elevated patrol through westland, rekeyed my house, emptied my car out, blocked it in with my wifes car.
I now need to get a new drivers license, social security card, debit card, various other cards, full coverage or new locks for the jeep and possibly some sort of identity protection.
Anybody have any other suggestions of something I may be missing?
Any reccomendations of identity protection services?

I hear good things about life lock.
The precautions you are taking are perfect. However, I wouldn't personally think the jeep would be stolen I think the card were probably the target. I don't know why they would take the keys though? Maybe they went through it on the way out.
I hope this is the en of the troubles am that the thief doe a slow painful death in front of his family.

I just went through replacing my debit card and a visa card last week. No idea how someone got the numbers. I dont use them often and never for internet. Second time in two years I've had to replace credit cards.
I dont understand why people carry their SS card with them. Good luck getting a new number, doesn't happen very often.

Hopefully all they wanted was the cards and any small stuff to sell. Otherwise they now know where you live and have keys to your house and jeep.
Hope they catch them fast, sucks you have to deal with crap like this.

I never EVER understood why people took their wallet in to work out with them. I would leave all of my stuff at home. Just take your ID with you, leave your stuff in the car or at home.

I don't know what I would be more mad about; changing out all the locks and canceling CC cards and such, or just having my stuff stolen. Sounds like they created a real hassle for you. That's pretty crappy though. Hopefully they find whoever stole your items.

So, i was in windsor last week and had my car window broken and pretty much had my identity stolen. (i left my wallet in a cup holder, took out to pay bridge toll and some fukc saw it and decided it was going to be his ).
I guess i was ashamed to come here and tell people how stupid i am (really really stupid) but i found this bit of advice on a site and thought i'd pass it along. some of the stuff is silly but the numbers at the bottom i think are worth jotting down (and calling Silver Bullet). If nothing else you will get a call in the next 90 days if anyone tries to open any type of account/credit card in your name. The only reason i post is because maybe this will help...
A corporate attorney sent the following out to the employees in his company:
1. Do not sign the back of your credit cards. Instead, put 'PHOTO ID REQUIRED.'
2. When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the 'For' line. Instead, just put the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check processing channels won't have access to it.
3. Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home phone. If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address. If you do not have a PO Box, use your work address. Never have your SS# printed on your checks. (DUH!) You can add it if it is necessary. But if you have It printed, anyone can get it.
4. Place the contents of your wallet on photocopy machine. Do both sides of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to call and cancel. Keep the photocopy in a safe place.
I also carry a photocopy of my passport when I travel either here or abroad. We've all heard horror stories about fraud that's committed on us in stealing a Name, address, Social Security number, credit cards..
But here's some critical information to limit the damage in case this happens to you or someone you know:
5. We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately. But the key is having the toll free numbers and your card numbers handy so you know whom to call. Keep those where you can find them.
6.. File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where your credit cards, etc., were stolen. This proves to credit providers you were diligent, and this is a first step toward an investigation (if there ever is one).
But here's what is perhaps most important of all: (I never even thought to do this.)
7. Call the 3 national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and also call the Social Security fraud line number. I had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to tell me an application for credit was made over the Internet in my name.
The alert means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen, and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit.
Now, here are the numbers you always need to contact about your wallet, if it has been stolen:
1.) Equifax: 1-800-525-6285
2.) Experian (formerly TRW): 1-888-397-3742
3.) Trans Union : 1-800-680 7289
4.) Social Security Administration (fraud line): 1-800-269-0271

I use this boot on my TW around wash. On every kind of terrain. But we did have an issue once I got to Palm Springs and met the steep, rocky terrain there. When climbing that kind of stuff, he had one gater rip and come off. But in DEFENSE, that pair was a year old snd well used! So I've just ordered this new set. I will save it till we get back home. He'll use shoes in this area, but I love these boots for MOST terrains! They truly do stay on on most terrains.

Really like this boot! Rather my horse likes this boot! Easy to put on. Never had it come off! Wish it came in draft size. :)

The best hoof boot so far. Easy to put on (even on a hyper Thoroughbred it takes only minutes - less than 5 - to boot both front hooves), stay in place via the gaiter, no more shifting out of place, is very soft and good to the hoof walls, no intrusions. Even when you gallop through mud they stay on about 95 % of the times - which is very good, considering that we usually threw a shoe now and then. Even when you race on muddy ground and make sharp turns - like with a barrel - the boots just stay on! My horse is adapting to being barefoot and she is absolutely happy with the glove on every ground (she even can paw hysterically in the water with it on), even over jumps, in the arean or out in the wilderness. One advice: get the fit kit from easyboot - $ 8.50 WELL invested! And you might want to get the "power straps" for an even better fit.These boots are terrific for transition to barefoot - whatever you do!update October 2009:still happy with the boots, the only time they really get lose on the hoof (but still cling to the leg) is when the hooves are just trimmed, and we race on top speed UPHILL ... so, we are still totally happy!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I found that walking Grim the first couple times with our other dogs worked GREAT! He was eager to follow them (I had my wife walk the girls in front of us) and before the first walk was done, he was exploring. One more walk with the girls, and then he was OK on his own. I wouldn't pull a pup. Happy tone "Let's go!" and kneel if you have to showing yummy treats and giving them. Praise for every step forward! Learning to walk on a leash is the foundation of a lot of other training, so it needs to be a good experience. Only do it when you're in the mood to be patient. Keep the walks short. Avoid anything that may frighten the pup in the beginning. Take a favorite toy to lure the pup forward. Work on it in your yard and in your home first. Lead the pup to you at first and praise! Let the pup drag a lead in the house to begin with. Remember that this is a short term thing. Before you know it, your pup will be leading the way! Taking a pup out for walks before the second set of shots isn't advised. If you have a yard, it's better to just play with the pup and bond with it at home first. If your pup is 'brand new' and isn't bonded to you yet, things will go slower. The pup needs to be able to trust you to protect it when it goes out into that huge scary world!! First and foremost, have fun with your pup. They are only that small for a very short amount of time. Make every day count.
at 10 weeks old maybe going around the block is to
far to walk him. when my pup was 10 weeks old walks were
very short. their pads have to toughen. you want walks to be
happy times for the pup not a pulling match. remember everything
is new to your pup. you don't want to scare him. do a little
bit everyday.
Keira screamed like we were torturing her during her bath, I just kept trying to calm her and she doesn't do it now... Perhaps have your pup sit with a leash on in our house and praise him and slowly let him lead then start with walking him by your side. Someone more experienced will have better imput.

Do you, or did you follow him around for a while first before starting to try to take him places?
They have to see the leash/collar safe and friendly before advancing to taking them places.
|What about if he screams?? My little guy is almost 4 months and literally on a harness or collar will scream if you try to walk him. It's almost like you're killing him. Vet checked him out no issues. I think my next step is to maybe try and walk him with my Malinois. Anyone ever experienced a temper tantrum like this?!?!
We tell people to either carry puppies at 8-9 weeks, or follow them while they acclimatize to the leash.
Often it works better to work on familiar terrain before taking them outside your yard and around your block, at least until later on, after they are good at walking around your yard.
Do you have a fenced yard, or is walking a necessity? I mean, can the puppy get out and play and walk around unleashed?
|Owning Vs Me
Leash question
I bought a GSD puppy when he was 9 weeks old i gave him 1 week in the house to get use to everything around him, when he was 10 weeks i decided to start taking him for walks outside i watched plenty of videos on Youtube and all of the videos said to motivate the dog to follow you i did that it took an hour to go around the block once LITERLY an HOUR, i kept motivating him and to follow me with treats and praise. Today, i tried taking him outside i got frustrated and i started pulling the leash every time he stopped i gave him 5 seconds or so and i pulled him and every time he tries to lay down i pulled him. He moved and was walking with me perfect after that i was happy me and him had a BLAST playing in the back yard runing after each other till i got tierd and went upstairs.
My QUESTION IS: Was what I did bad to pull him every time he stopped? Please i need an experienced person to answer my question am new to owning a GSD or any dog

Santos makes most of opportunity
Santos makes most of opportunity
"I didn't have an opportunity," the Mets catcher said. "If you get an opportunity in the Minors, you have to do good."
Santos followed his own advice. Eventually, the Major League opportunity came when he was called up to fill in for injured catcher Brian Schneider. Given a chance, Santos carved a spot on the Mets roster for himself by producing some of the team's most memorable moments this season.
There was his first Major League home run, a grand slam against Florida on April 27 that made him the third player in franchise history to hit a slam for his first Major League homer.
There was the two-out, two-run homer in the ninth inning at Fenway Park on May 23 that beat ace Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon, who had struck out the two previous hitters.
There was the game-winning single in the bottom of the 11th inning that beat Florida, 2-1, on May 29.
And there was the on-target throw that retired Ryan Braun for the final out in a 1-0 victory over Milwaukee on April 18.
Santos has three homers and 18 RBIs in his first 105 at-bats and was hitting a productive .276. Manager Jerry Manuel likes his short, compact swing and the Mets pitchers like the way he calls a game behind the plate. The combination has won him a job.
Santos began his professional career as a 21st-round Draft choice by the New York Yankees in 2001. This was not an ideal place to get an opportunity in the Majors because the Yankees have one of baseball's best catchers in Jorge Posada.
"You play in the Minors, you have to keep working, keep doing good, make a good impression," Santos said. "It lets them know they can count on you anytime. But the Yankees, when they need something, they don't look in the Minors. They look someplace else."
Santos pressed ahead. He was an All-Star in the New York-Penn League one year, led Eastern League catchers with a .996 fielding percentage another. There were two straight trips to Spring Training with the Yankees as a non-roster invitee as one of a group of players who get reassigned early.
"It's not frustrating," Santos said. "But sometimes you get a little disappointed."
At the end of 2007, Santos was cut loose and signed with Baltimore as a Minor League free agent. He spent the majority of the 2008 season at Triple-A Norfolk and then was called up for a brief look in September when rosters expanded to 40 players. It was nothing special, just one hit in 10 at-bats and another release at season's end.
This time, though, he had caught the eye of the Mets front office. When New York expressed an interest, Santos jumped at the opportunity and made the most of his non-roster invitation to Spring Training.
"I had a good spring," he said. "That's why I'm here. When they sent me out, they said, `Do good, and you'll be here soon.'"
When Schneider got hurt, Santos got the call to share the Mets catching duties with incumbent Ramon Castro. The rookie knew he was on the roster bubble when Schneider was activated because very few teams carry three catchers. Santos was matter-of-fact about his prospects, saying if he was sent back, he'd just work harder to return.
"I'm glad I'm here," he said. "I'm glad for the opportunity."
It turned out that Castro was the one to go, traded to the Chicago White Sox. Santos had earned his keep with perseverance and timely performance.
The burgers and buses were in his rear-view mirror.

iSCSI boot
I'm setting up iSCSI boot for UCS 2.0 and have a query about the 'Set iSCSI Boot Parameters'
When using a service profile template you only seem to be able to enter one initiator name in
the template and that same name is used for all service profiles created from the template. I
would have thought that this needed to be a pooled value? Am I right in thinking you therefore
can't use a service profile template when using iSCSI boot as it will result in all the
initiators being given the same name? Or have I misunderstood how that works?
Also, is there a naming standard we should use for naming initiators, should this follow iqn
conventions or just call it anything?

Since you originally posted I kept looking at pictures and clips of "Quantum of Solace" and could not tell what HG he was holding.
Just saw a pic on CNN and it appears to be the blued PPK. IMO, if the director and franchise owners are trying to go back to the beginning of how Bond came about then they should be using the PPK or older. Guess we find out in a week or so.
I will be on of the first one in line to see the new movie.

text: For those of you that don't know, at last seasons' sectionals, Gracie skated a disastrous skate in both programs and did not make it out of sectionals. She was held up in the SP due to the things she had done in practice and her previous national medal. Despite having a triple - triple combination she didn't make it to nationals last season. However, she came back this season with a positive attitude, improved consistency, a straight head on her shoulders, and vastly improved components. Would Gold have been as motivated to make these much needed improvements had she medaled last season? We may never know, but I think doing poorly last season was good for her. She was clearly motivated by the fact that she didn't perform to the best of her ability and is now one of the most highly touted ladies in the country! This goes to show you that in a skaters' career, one should not just sit there when they fall down; they should get back up even stronger than before and willing to prove doubters wrong... PS hopefully Czisny follows in these footsteps


text: One of Maine's longest serving law enforcement officers has retired after 46 years in a police uniform. Franklin County Sheriff Dennis Pike retired Friday. Pike is 74 and wanted to continue contributing, but in November lost his bid for a fourth term as sheriff. Still, Pike tells the Morning Sentinel, he has been blessed. He says all he ever wanted to do with his life was be a police officer. After six years in the U.S. Army Reserve, Pike started his career as an officer in Farmington, worked part time as a sheriff's deputy, and was eventually elected sheriff. He says his greatest professional accomplishments include boosting deputy training, starting the dog unit, bringing anti-drug messages into local schools and working with Canadian authorities for tighter border control after 9/11.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – The Springfield Center for the Arts at Wittenberg University, home of the Springfield Museum of Art, provides unique learning opportunities that cultivate students' skills in a professional and academic environment few schools can offer.
The recent partnership between Wittenberg and the museum, the only Smithsonian-affiliated art museum in the state of Ohio, began when the university purchased the Center for the Arts building in 2010. Today, the partnership enables Wittenberg students to engage with the arts and arts professionals beyond the classroom through highly collaborative courses, internships and fieldwork.
One such course, Art on Display, informs students about researching and curating exhibitions in a museum space. The student-faculty research completed during the semester is published in an exhibition catalog, accompanying a show in the Wittenberg Halley Gallery.
The upper-level museum studies and curatorial practicum, taught by curator and assistant professor of art Janice Glowski, allows students to work closely with a support team of arts-related professionals, including Ann Fortescue, Director of the Springfield Museum of Art; Crispin Prebys, assistant professor of art, teaching graphic design; and associate professor Suzanne Smailes, head of technical services and the librarian in charge of Special Collections at Thomas Library.
"The class is fully immersive and designed to build students' arts and museum-related professional experience in many areas," Glowski said. "Students curate artwork, learn how to handle art objects, draw up art loan agreements, learn about insurance, write object condition reports, consider necessary conservation measures, photograph objects, design and critique exhibitions, write didactic information for the public and write for an exhibition catalog."
Outside of the course, students find other ways to become involved in this distinctive learning experience. Leslie Winter, class of 2013 from Holland, Mich., studied art history and studio art and has been able to apply the professional experience she gained through an internship with the Springfield Museum of Art to her graduate program in art history at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, studying Renaissance and 19th-century art.
"My internship at the Springfield Museum of Art allowed me to gain access to an inside view of a small, but reputable museum. I was able to interact with the people in most of the major aspects of a small museum: the director, curator, alumni relations, and security," Winter said. "The experience of guiding my own research for implementations in other areas of the museum closely mimics what I am currently doing in my internship for the Mortimer Rare Book Room at Smith College."
Whether students learn in the classroom, through internships or during art courses, Glowski finds that the Springfield Center for the Arts at Wittenberg University and the Springfield Museum of Art offer excellent opportunities for hands-on learning experiences that prepare students to become specialists.
"Through this engaged learning, students develop skills necessary for working in a range of arts professional and museum-related careers," she said.
The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. For more information about internships, museum-related courses, and the Springfield Center for the Arts at Wittenberg, visit www.springfieldart.museum or email Scott Dooley at email@example.com.

A Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a department of a hospital specializing in the care of sick and premature newborn babies.[1] In 1995, twins Jack and Tom Monk were taken to a NICU shortly after their premature delivery, where they were kept in incubators for twelve weeks, receiving fluids through intravenous lines and breathing with help from mechanical ventilators.[2] This happening was reported by the Metro newspaper.

Changing files from my Dropbox folders is something that happens many times a day, so it is critical for me to keep its daemon running at all times while I work. Because of that, I find it annoying when randomly, for no apparent reason, it does not properly start in Ubuntu/Linux Mint. Basically, Dropbox remains in a "Connecting..." status forever, forcing me to manually stop and start the service.
I decided to put together a short and simple script that fixes this problem, checking Dropbox status after a number of seconds and then restarting the service automatically if necessary. I have configured the script to sleep for 30 seconds before running a status check, but you may change that figure to suit your machine/network setup.
In case you don't know, Dropbox for Linux provides a simple command line interface. Dropbox status may be checked upon at any time using the following command:
dropbox status
From what I have gathered, there are four possible states, namely:
- Idle: Dropbox is running fine, in standby status until any potential synchronization is required.
- Downloading file list: Dropbox just connected to the server and is gathering information.
- Connecting...: Dropbox is trying to connect to the server. This is usually the status it is at when the problem appears. Instead of going into Idle status, Dropbox remains in Connecting status.
- Dropbox isn't running!: Pretty self explanatory.
My script loads on startup, just like the Dropbox daemon does. As I mentioned already, the script will allow 30 seconds before checking Dropbox status. If the check returns status Idle or Downloading file list, the script will do nothing and let Dropbox do its thing. Any other status will display some GUI messages, then restart Dropbox.
I added a couple screenshots below to show how the script works.
After 30 seconds, the script checked and found that Dropbox was not running. It then displayed a simple message informing the user that the Dropbox daemon would be restarted. Once the user clicks OK, the restart takes place and a confirmation message appears.
If you have experienced the same strange random Dropbox behavior yourself, you may find this script interesting and want to use it. If so, it is real simple, just follow these easy steps:
1.- Download the script from HERE.
2.- Save it as
CheckDropbox.sh and then grant it execution privileges.
3.- Finally, configure it to run on startup. Go to Main menu > System > Preferences > Startup Applications and create a new entry pointing to the script.
4.- Exit your current session and login again, or simply reboot for the script to take effect.
I hope this little script helps you too in getting rid of that little Dropbox connection annoyance.
Thanks for reading!

Dean Mary Coleman comments on the impact of these three distinguished faculty members
Linda Dacey Paul Fideler Maureen Riley
As the Lesley University College of Liberal Arts and Sciences prepares to say good-bye to a triumvirate of distinguished faculty members, the school is taking heart in knowing their impact will continue past their retirement.
That is because Lesley is launching a lecture series and two scholarships to honor these professors.
Professor of humanities and history Dr. Paul Fideler is the inspiration for the Paul A. Fideler Lectures in History and Philosophy, an annual series that will attract a notable historian who embodies Fideler's scholarship on the English Poor Laws and the contemporary welfare state, according to Dean Mary Coleman.
Professor of mathematics education Dr. Linda Dacey and associate professor of education and Director of the Center for Academic Achievement Dr. Maureen Riley are being honored with scholarship programs in their name.
"The Linda Dacey Scholarship Fund will support students majoring in mathematics education, and the Maureen Riley Scholarship Fund will support students majoring in special education," Coleman says. "Their legacies will live on at Lesley through the students the scholarships will support and the creative exchange of ideas the lectures will stimulate. We are deeply grateful to each of them."

Stephen Jones made a transcript of the recollections of Frederick Swaffield as part of an Open University assignment.
Mr Frederick Swaffield was one of a large family who came to live in the New Inn, Stoke Abbott in 1895 when he was aged 7. He worked for many years as a carter for Mr Edward Smith at Lower Farm. He moved to Portland in 1924 to work in the quarries but returned to the village for a few years before his death, which occurred in Dorchester Hospital in 1963.

Racing against the rain, Kane County Sheriff's Office on Monday found two hikers who had been missing since Sunday near Zion National Park, in an area known as The Barracks.
Kane County Emergency Services reported at 3:26 p.m. that the two Salt Lake City women were found alive and well.
Christian Delahunty, 40, and Suzy Wheeler-Mang, 51,began their hike Thursday from a point south of Mount Carmel Junction and west of U.S. 89 in the east fork of the Virgin River. They intended to hike down the fork to an area near a popular hiking spot called Fat Mans Misery, and hike out at Checkerboard Mesa in Zion National Park by Sunday morning, according to a news release.
Kane County dispatchers received notification that the pair was overdue by Sunday evening. Beginning at 7:30 a.m. Monday, a Utah Department of Public Safety helicopter flew the hikers' entire route, but the searchers did not see them. The helicopter expanded its search and ground teams headed into the few available access points into the canyon.
By the afternoon, the helicopter crew found Delahunty and Wheeler-Mang about 2 miles from Checkerboard Mesa. The pair got lost and disoriented in the canyons on the way to the mesa, but happened upon a couple of other hikers who led them back to the trail, said Kane County Sheriff's Sgt. Alan Alldredge. Searchers found them soon after and flew them to the Kanab City Airport.
They had endured several rainstorms and were about out of food, and they made it out before more storms were forecasted to hit the area.
The Barracks refers to a dramatically narrow section of Parunaweap Canyon where the walls are tall and tight, creating a flash flood risk. The adjacent Zion National Park received about 1½ inches of rain Sunday, according to the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City.
The Virgin River swelled by 6 feet Sunday afternoon and evening, turning a low stream into a real river near Springdale and raising the water level to about 13 feet once it reached sensors near Hurricane.
"The report from the helicopter is that there is a lot of water, the river is running high," Alldredge said earlier Monday, though he pointed out that the slot canyons are not very long and that most of the hikers' trek would have been in safer areas.
Rainfall was expected to continue over large portions of southern Utah on Monday, according to a flash flood watch from the National Weather Service. The watch remains in effect through Monday evening.

I spoke to Namila Benson about Distraction, and my recent newspapers articles on silence and television. Namila was great: informed, passionate and funny.
For a little while, you can listen to the interview here.
And RRR sure knew how to make me feel at home. I don't mean the second-hand couches, relaxed jeans-and-t-shirt mood, or great music.
Their Radiothon drive for subscriptions this year is 'Make Contact': lots of robots, little green men and space-ships. And, awesome of awesomes: a blow-up dalek.
As I've argued with Star Trek, science fiction can possess certain philosophical virtues. By all means, be wary of television - particularly the three-hour-a-day trap. But a little dalek or Doctor now and then can be provocative, challenging or exemplary (i.e. of ongoing philosophical debates). It can be good, cerebral fun.
Certainly better fun than your average blow-up companion...

can anyone tell me what is Rotocast Vinyl? are helmets made of this material strong enough to hold electronics like fans, batteries and speakers in them?

can anyone tell me what is Rotocast Vinyl? are helmets made of this material strong enough to hold electronics like fans, batteries and speakers in them?
Rotocasting is the PROCESS that is used to distribute the vinyl material in the mold while it is still in it's liquid state. Think of a gyroscope or gimble with the mold locked in, rotating in 3 different axis. This is so the material distributes evenly throughout the mold. The Don Post & Rubies helmets are made this way & are flexible & durable. You won't have any problem holding the equipment you require but watch out for what type of adhesive you use to secure them. Velcro works great for batteries & good old hot melt glue is excellent for anything else. Don't use the kind available in the craft section, not all hotmelt glues are the same, use a commercial grade. I found some at Home depot (Arrow Brand Bss6-4) & I haven't been able to find anything of equal or better. Hotmelt also has the advantage of letting you remove parts without damaging the helmet. Simply break the glue bond by putting a few drops of methyl hydrate on the hotmelt. It will wick under the hotmelt & you will be able to peel the part out. The methyl hydrate quickly evaporates & will not damage the vinyl helmet or harm painted surfaces.
thanks for the info bigkidbiggertoys. if i get a rotocast vinyl bucket, is it possible for me to reinforce the interior so that it won't be so flexible, making it sturdier?

31 January 2013 : Malaysia Airlines today rolled out its first aircraft decorated in the livery of theoneworld alliance – which the flag carrier of Malaysia joins at midnight tonight in one of the most significant steps in its 40-year history.
The aircraft in its new-look design was unveiled at a special ceremony at KL International Airport this morning - ahead of a formal joining ceremony and press conference this afternoon - by Malaysia Airlines' Group Chief Executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya accompanied by visiting counterparts from oneworld and its other member airlines, including New York-based oneworld CEO Bruce Ashby and, from Sydney, Qantas Group Chief Executive Alan Joyce. Qantas has supported Malaysia Airlines through its alliance joining programme as its oneworld sponsor.
oneworld requires all member airlines to decorate a number of their aircraft in its standard alliance livery as part of oneworld's promotional activities.
The first Malaysia Airlines aircraft decorated with this design is one of its 10 latest Airbus A330-300s. The special alliance livery features "oneworld" in 6 ft (2 metre) high blue letters along a white fuselage and the airline's standard tailfin, serving as a massive flying billboard to highlight that Malaysia Airlines starts offering oneworld services and benefits from tomorrow.
It will make it first commercial flight in its new look tomorrow, operating as flight MH129 from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne, departing at 10.15 am.
Another two aircraft in its fleet will be decorated in this alliance livery in the coming months.
The rest of its 88-strong fleet will retain the standard Malaysia Airlines livery – but with a 30 cm diameter oneworld logo placed on the fuselage by the main passenger entry door.
Also this morning, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, Bruce Ashby and Alan Joyce, placed the first of those logos on the side of one of Malaysia Airlines' 15 Boeing 737-800s.
The oneworld logos will be applied to the other aircraft in the airline's fleet overnight after the end of operations today, as part of a massive overnight rebranding programme that will also see the alliance branding added virtually wherever the Malaysia Airlines' name is displayed – in particular at airport check-in desks and signage, on its website, tickets, boarding passes and all items of stationery.
The full story of Malaysia Airlines' integration into oneworld will be detailed at its formal joining ceremony at 5.30 pm today, when Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, Bruce Ashby, Alan Joyce and senior executives from other oneworld member airlines will be available to the media for interview.
About Malaysia Airlines
Malaysia Airlines serves more than 60 destinations in almost 30 countries across Asia, Australasia, Middle East, Europe, and North America, including oneworld hubs Hong Kong, London Heathrow,Los Angeles, Sydney and Tokyo Narita.
Its present fleet of 88 aircraft – including its flagship Airbus A380s – operates more than 250 departures a day. It boarded 13 million passengers in 2011, generating revenues of MYR 13.6 billion (US$ 4.5 billion).
Malaysia Airlines describes its distinctive brand as an extension of the special culture of warmth and friendliness unique to Malaysians. This inimitable Malaysian sense of graciousness is branded as "Malaysian Hospitality" and symbolized by the acronym MH, which is also the airline's flight code.
Both Malaysia Airlines and its Kuala Lumpur hub are among the industry's most frequent winners of awards for quality service. Malaysia Airlines itself has won the 'World's Best Cabin Staff' award from the UK based Skytrax airline quality rating agency in seven of the past 11 years.
Last year, Malaysia Airlines marked the entry of its first A380 into its fleet by having its Five-Star Airline status renewed by Skytrax – as the airline embarked on a series of improvements to reposition it as a premium carrier.
About oneworld
oneworld is an alliance of the world's leading airlines committed to providing the highest level of service and convenience to frequent international travellers. oneworld airlines include airberlin, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN, Qantas, Royal Jordanian and S7 Airlines, and around 30 affiliates. Malaysia Airlines will join on 1 February 2013 with SriLankan Airlines and Qatar Airways on track to join soon.
Between them, these airlines:
oneworld is currently the holder of three leading international awards for airline alliances - named the Best Airline Alliance by Global Traveler in its GT Tested Reader Survey 2012 Awards for the third year running, the World's Leading Airline Alliance in the 2012 World Travel Awards for the 10th year running, and Australian Business Traveller Best Airline Alliance in 2012 for the second year running.

Remember back when you'd hear your parents' hypercautious tones murmuring in your head every time you made a major purchase? As you got older, those nagging voices turned into a guilty "I should probably …" disclaimer whenever it came time to pay the bills.
Today, you're finally following all those smart financial strategies you couldn't help but absorb over the years — and you're probably asking yourself why it all took this long to sink in.
Many of us are still coming to terms with financial truths we've been taught all our lives but that took years to gel in our checkbooks. If you could go back in time, what financial lessons would you urge your younger self to heed?
1. Save before you spend. Savings accounts, piggy banks, store layaway … Saving may be old-fashioned, but it works. Nothing kills the buzz of a coveted new car or designer purse faster than the sting of monthly payments that stretch your budget too tightly for comfort. Lesson learned: The pleasure gained from lifestyle items like cars rarely lasts as long as the debt does.
2. Start saving sooner and in smaller increments. It's hard to get motivated to save when your contributions seem so small that they hardly seem capable of making a difference. But trying to pile on larger chunks, especially if you're playing financial catch-up, puts a hurting on your wallet. Remember this: Slow and steady wins the race. Get in the habit of paying yourself first right from the start, and watch your nest egg grow over the years. As your income increases, then increase the amount you put away in savings. The younger you are when you start saving, the more time is on your side.
3. Establish an emergency fund. You'll feel a lot safer with enough cash to cover three to six months' living expenses stashed away. Then use your emergency fund, not a credit card, when you're pinched by appliance repairs or car troubles. Be firm with yourself about what circumstances constitute an emergency; if you find yourself dipping into your emergency fund every summer for vacation, it's time to go back to lesson #1 and save before you spend.
4. Budget. Above all, be honest with yourself about your finances. Budgets aren't just for people who are strapped for cash; they're a mark of financial maturity and self-awareness. Track your spending. Know how much money is coming in, and know where it's going out. With that knowledge in hand, your other financial goals will practically write themselves.
If you have to borrow money for a transaction, make sure you aren't paying more interest than you must. Taking the time to research the best rates can save you a bundle on mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards. The time you spend doing homework can save you a lot in the future!

Compact or small family cars are a group which is larger than subcompacts but smaller than mid-size cars.
They are in a so-called C-segment (the largest of the small cars), usually easy to drive, maneuver and park, that is why compact cars are perfect for in-town travels with large traffic jams.
Despite the widespread belief that compact cars are designed as cheap econoboxes, we personally would rather agree with the millions of drivers who find compact cars an effective alternative to a larger vehicle, and fuel-efficient way to travel.
List of compact cars available in different countries:
Basically, there are no big differences between compact cars and economy ones.
The rest is a matter of taste, driving habits and your travel budget.
You can choose among any location airports, train stations and places all around the city centre and even the suburbs.
Just pick a location in the search box, choose a provider, and you'll see the selection of pick-up locations and the vehicles available there.
If you hire a van, standard, luxurious or estate car and you're under 25, prepare to pay a young driver's surcharge. Age range varies depending on the company that provides you with a rental car and the country as laws are different everywhere.
Therefore, you should read about the terms of the lease and the age limits, as well as to see what the amount of additional payments is if you are younger or older than it is required.
In case of renting compact cars, you may not worry about the conditions as they are often even more than loyal, and you will hardly have to pay anything extra.
|Optional extras
|Traveling with an additional driver
*Note! Special accessories are the subject of availability, so request for them in advance. Additional driver's surcharges vary and mentioned on rental conditions of each supplier in Fagersta, Sweden.
When you request for a compact car, you'll receive one. Car rental company guarantees you a car from a certain car group. But, if you see the icon "Guaranteed car model", you may no longer worry about that as you'll get the car you ordered.
When you confirm you booking, don't forget to print a voucher. There you'll see a contact number, you can call and find out whether you'll get a car you want or not.
Sometimes you can get a free upgrade – compact cars can be replaces with medium-sized ones for the same price. Remember that saving on a car model you might spend more on fuel.

The IL Gear Zone continues to scour the globe for the best lacrosse gear and products out there, and that includes top-of-the-line stringing materials. We continue that endeavor with a close-up look at NinjaLax, the San Diego-based company that produces NinjaMesh, which recently burst onto the stick-tech/stick-stringing scene with its cutting edge products.
NinjaMesh is a high-performance mesh for field and goalie sticks that offers the hold and supple feel of soft mesh, the release of hard mesh and ultimate water protection. Ninja Mesh is infused with a patented, all-natural formula that gives it a unique feeling.
Developed by a group of laxaholics, including the companies chief engineer, NinjaMesh comes in a wide variety of weaves and styles, and the Gear Zone is pleased to give you a detailed look at the entire lineup of NinjaMesh products. That lineup includes NinjaLax's Ninja Standard, Ninja Albino, Ninja Ni juu, Ninja Heavy, and Ninja Six Shooter field meshes, and five different versions of the companies Showstopper goalie mesh. NinjaLax also offers their own version of a traditional stringing kit, with the same special formula applied to the leathers and cross lace.
Additionally, the Gear Zone gives you a look at some of the cool items in the Ninja Apparel lineup, including products for men and women, all of which are available on the NinjaLax site at very reasonable prices.
Check out all of the different types of mesh and apparel below (make sure to hover over each picture for additional details), and then head over to The Stick Doctor's Lounge thread on The Lacrosse Forums, where a ton of forum users have discussed and reviewed various NinjaLax products in great detail.
For more information on NinjaMesh, visit the company's website, where you can also see a selection of the NinjaLax Ninja Colored mesh selection. Be sure to keep your eyes on the Gear Zone, as we'll be featuring some of this mesh in brand new sticks as part of our upcoming Stringers Spotlight series.

Appalachian State University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. The University does not discriminate in access to its educational programs and activities, or with respect to hiring or the terms and conditions of employment, on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity and expression, political affiliation, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information or sexual orientation.
The two-year grant project funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission to process the backlog of the W.L. Eury Appalachian Collection was successfully completed last month. Running from September 2012 to November 2014, the grant provided funding for a full-time processing assistant and for the purchase of archival supplies. The processing was completed by Project Archives Assistant Trevor McKenzie (the grant-funded position) and Processing Assistant Anita Elliott under the direction of Processing Archivist Cynthia Harbeson, who served as project manager.
As a result of this project, a total of 1,917.14 linear feet of previously unprocessed, and therefore inaccessible, materials were processed. This total was 707.14 linear feet (or 58%) more than the 1,210 linear feet outlined in the grant proposal. The project also resulted in the creation of 456 new finding aids (or guides to the collections) and the revision and enhancement of finding aids for an additional 75 selected collections. These finding aids are all online and searchable through our Special Collections website. The collections themselves are available for use in the Dougherty Reading Room, located on the 4th floor in Special Collections.
The Backlog Blog has been highlighting collections processed during this project for the past two years. Some of the collections included on the blog are: AC.104: Appalachian Land Ownership Task Force Records; AC.124: Speculation Land Company Records; AC.362: Hartzog Family Papers; AC.836: Stephens Store Records; and AC.689: Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina Records.
The image seen here is from AC.806: Charles Town (West Virginia) in a Nutshell, 1900. It was one of the collections processed through the grant project.
Dog and Massage Therapy that is.
To relieve a little stress, the libary is sponsoring the following 2 events:

Knox, a Canine Good Citizen and registered with Therapy Dogs, Inc. will be here with his handler, Brianne Harris on Dec. 8 from 2 to 4 pm and Dec. 10 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.

Squeezes, rubs, hugs, and scratches are free!

Sure, it's just what you've been clamoring for: an ultra slick, portable version of the most popular console gaming system in the world. But Sony's new PlayStation Portable (PSP) isn't just a handheld gaming device. Beyond its killer graphics and spectacular widescreen LCD for unparalleled game play, it also sports wireless connectivity and a variety of multimedia features, including video, music, and digital photography. Your wildly versatile, endlessly powerful PSP practically begs you to hack and repurpose it to your liking.
To save you the trouble and show you how to make the PSP do more than you ever imagined--and more than Sony ever intended--PSP Hacks is one succinct volume of 50 of the coolest, most useful, up-to-the-minute hacks for this amazing device. You'll learn how to open your PSP's hardware and what to safely plug into it. You'll explore and put to good use every hidden feature of the device. You'll be able to move all sorts of multimedia onto your PSP and find ways to extend its wireless capabilities. And you'll find out how to get the very best experience out of online game play.
With PSP Hacks, you can accomplish a whole lot more than good gaming on the PSP. You'll quickly learn to surf the Web with a PSP, chat in IRC, and use the PSP to read web comics, ebooks, and RSS feeds. Other expert tips and tools allow you to sync an address book to your PSP, watch UMD movies, fool iTunes into thinking the PSP is an iPod Shuffle, and much more.
The innovative hacks, tweaks, and how-tos in this essential guide make it easy to customize your PSP, take full advantage of features, capabilities, and functionality far beyond what's listed in the PSP user manual, and make your PSP perform countless tricks that only an all-in-one portable entertainment unit as remarkable and revolutionary as this one could.
The image on the cover of PSP Hacks is a PlayStation Portable (PSP). The successor to Sony's powerful and popular PS2, the PSP was unveiled in May 2004. While it is mainly a gaming system, the PSP combines the portability of the Game Boy that Nintendo first introduced in 1989 with the multimedia power of the PS2, and it can be used as a portable entertainment device, giving its users the ability to listen to MP3s or to watch UMD movies while on the go. Certain versions of the firmware allow the PSP to run homebrewed software, letting users not only make their own games, but create and enjoy emulators to play games of yore.
