Program Description
Knowledge of the Earth's physical systems, and human's interaction and alteration of those, is key to society's ability to sustain growth and development, and at the same time maintain the quality of life that the world's nations desire. In recent years people have discovered that large numbers of societal problems have geographic dimensions and that education and training in geography provide essential skills for real world problem solving. As a result, geography has become a necessary ingredient in hundreds of different jobs, in both government and industry, and at the local, regional, national, and international levels.
The Geography program, which is housed in the Earth Sciences Department, concentrates on the physical aspects of geography (atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere), computer-based geotechniques such as remote sensing, geographic information systems and cartography, and the study of the different regions of the world. The expertise and international focus of the faculty provide opportunities for students to learn about and participate in research projects ranging from mapping disruption in Mojave Desert to analyzing farming systems in Egypt, the Sudan, and other African and Asian countries.
The Earth Sciences Department has a map library containing several thousand map sheets. The department also has two completely dedicated, state-of-the-art computer laboratories, the Earth Sciences Spatial Analysis Laboratory (ESSAL) which acts as the focus for remote sensing and GIS based research projects, and the Dominguez Hills Information Technology Laboratory (DoIT)) which provides for computer-based teaching with an emphasis on geotechniques. These labs provide sophisticated image processing and spatial analysis software as well as libraries of satellite imagery and spatial databases. Additional equipment includes several Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, advanced instruments for field data collection and analysis, and a weather station which collects meteorological data for the campus.
The faculty possess special expertise in land use, land use change, remote sensing, geographic information systems, physical geography, and arid lands, which allows them to participate in both domestic and international projects. The small size and broad expertise of the faculty provides an unusual opportunity for undergraduate students to work closely with their professors. The involvement of faculty members in applied situations, in community and advisory capacities and in professional consultation, provides an excellent opportunity for advanced students to participate in ongoing research projects.
Academic Advisement
Each student intending to pursue a major or minor program in geography should consult with a department advisor concerning academic or career goals before registering for their first Geography course. The department chair will assist students in selecting an advisor, or a student may select an advisor from the full- time geography faculty. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with their academic advisor at least once each semester to seek help in selection of courses appropriate to the student's goals. Advisors also can provide help in finding and using other university services that may facilitate his/her studies.
For high school students, the best preparation for the Geography Major is a well-rounded program of high school courses in humanities, social sciences, science, mathematics, and written and oral communication skills. This background should prepare students in both analytical and integrative skills.
Community college transfer students should have completed an introductory physical and a human/cultural geography course. Introductory courses in the physical, biological and social sciences are recommended.
Career Possibilities
The Geography Major is specifically designed to prepare students for a wide range of employment opportunities and graduate programs. Several major publications have identified geographic information systems (GIS) related jobs as one of the top ten high-tech employment areas in the next decade. The department offers a Geotechniques certificate program that provides students with the analytical and computer skills to compete successfully in the job market. The certificate program requires specific classes in GIS, remote sensing, cartography and environmental analysis as part of either a Geography major or minor. Career opportunities exist in such applied areas as: meteorology, climatology and hydrology, environmental planning, energy management and distribution; urban and regional planning, economic location, urban and regional planning, teaching and academic research.
Students may prepare for a career in teaching Social Science at the secondary level (junior high or high school) by completing an approved "Subject Matter Preparation Program." Completion of such a program is the first step in meeting the state requirements for a teaching credential. As the program requirements for the "Subject Matter Preparation Program" in Social Science have changed recently, interested students should consult the departmentally designated advisor for current information.

And for 2014 . . . ?
This is about the time of year where FOSS pundits decide to take a plunge and predict what the following year will bring. The only thing that is certain — and I can make this prediction with complete certainty — is that these same scribes will sit in the same place a year hence, shaking their heads and wondering what the hell they were thinking a year ago.
Of course, there's no way I'm being left out of this exercise.
So what's 2014 going to bring? Get ready.
Next year, 2014, will be the year of the Linux desktop.
OK, someone had to say it.
More likely, though, 2014 will be the year of the Linux gaming console, thanks to Steam OS and the hardware that Gabe Newell and his crew up in Washington state have announced will be released sometime next year.
We'll have to see what's in store there, but if that engine fires on all cylinders, then you can add wider acceptance of Linux in everyday life to the list of 2014 accomplishments, piling it atop the progressively increasing acceptance of Android, which is kind of/sort of Linux in spirit, if not in name.
The Steam OS/game console drama is going to be your big story of the year going forward, not some vaporware super-ultra-mega-smartphone or a TV console promised at CES a couple of years ago.
So remember where you heard it first.
Also in 2014 — and for many, this may be more of a warning than a prediction — I am going to be making some personal changes of my own, digitally speaking. Nothing earth-shattering, and the fact that the only way I'm using Ubuntu is only at gunpoint does not change (sorry to disappoint). You'll have to stand by for news on that.
One more thing: While this is not FOSS-specific, it is still a good read. Melinda Byerley, a founder of Vendorsi, wrote this great blog post about how pattern recognition is, well, complete and utter bullshit, and we'd have a much better 2014 and later if folks seeking to fund and grow projects would stay the hell away from it.
Happy 2014, all, and don't forget that SCALE 12X is coming up sooner than you think; February is right around the corner.

In this final installment of a three-part series on product owners in the agile enterprise, Dean Leffingwell provides several case study "vignettes", which illustrate how specific agile enterprises found the right people necessary to fill this role, along with some of the unique challenges they faced and the solutions they applied.
Note: This is the final installment of a three part series on the critical Product Owner's role within the agile software enterprise. Indeed, the role, originally defined by Scrum, is now so comprehensive in agile implementations that the role is hard to separate from the practice of agility itself.
In Part I, Agile Product Owners: A Scalable, Nuanced Approach , I described why enterprises need to adopt a dual approach to this role; one which empowers both agile Product Managers AND agile Product Owners to drive the enterprise to its objectives. In Part II, I described the Responsibilities of the Agile Product Owner in the Enterprise in the enterprise setting. I also described the larger challenge of scale, noting that it is no trivial task to identify and train 10, 20 or even 100+ individuals to effectively implement this role in the largest software enterprises.
In this final installment, I'll provide some case study "vignettes", which illustrate how some specific agile enterprises found the right people necessary to fill this role, along with some of the unique challenges they faced, as well as the solutions they applied.
Roles, Titles, and Responsibilities Vary by Software Business Type
Since the business mission, organization, operating methods, roles, titles and responsibilities differ dramatically across industry segments, it follows that the patterns of agile adoption vary across these segments as well. In this post, I'll provide real world examples of how this challenge was addressed in three primary software business types:
Information Systems/Information Technology (IS/IT) -teams of teams who develop software to operate the business; accounting, CRM, internal networks, sales force automation and the like. Customers are primarily internal to the enterprise.
Embedded Systems (embedded) - teams of teams who develop software that runs on computers embedded in other devices - cell phones, electronic braking systems, industrial controls and the like. Customers may be either internal or external to the enterprise.
Independent Software Vendors (ISV) -teams of teams who develop software for sale, including products like network management, supply chain management, mobile applications, etc. This segment now also includes the rapidly emerging Software as a Service (SaaS) vendors. Customers are external to the enterprise.
When it comes to agile adoption, each of these business types has a unique set of challenges, none more critical than the successful implementation of the agile Product Owner role. In the examples that follow, we'll look at some specific case studies that may serve to guide others who head down the agile enterprise adoption path.
ISV Example 1 - TradeStation Technologies
TradeStation is the premier brokerage trading platform for rule-based trading. They note: "whether you trade stocks, options, futures or forex, TradeStation offers uniquely powerful strategy creation and testing tools, customizable analytics and fully automated trading technology in a single trading platform."
At TradeStation, Keith Black, VP of Product Development, and John Bartleman, VP of Product Management, have been driving a comprehensive, all-in agile transformation that affects 100+ practitioners. John described their approach to filling the Product Owner role as follows:
"Before transitioning to Agile, our Product Management team was made up of ten product managers who reported into Development. In general, we have always had an internal/technical focus as opposed to the traditional external/marketing focus. When we transitioned to Agile, seven of the ten Product Managers became full time Product Owners; the other three now focus on the market-facing Product Manager role. This separation of labor and concerns has helped us bring additional focus to both the market and technical aspects of our solution."
John then comments on the staffing challenge:
"When staffing the Product Owner role, I would

When you eat may be just as vital to your health as what you eat, researchers at the Salk Institute have discovered. Their experiments in mice revealed that the daily waxing and waning of thousands of genes in the liver—the body's metabolic clearinghouse—is mostly controlled by food intake and not by the body's circadian clock as conventional wisdom had it.
"If feeding time determines the activity of a large number of genes completely independent of the circadian clock, when you eat and fast each day will have a huge impact on your metabolism," says the study's leader Satchidananda (Satchin) Panda, an assistant professor in the Regulatory Biology Laboratory.
To investigate how much influence rhythmic food intake exerts over the hepatic circadian oscillator, graduate student and first author Christopher Vollmers put normal and clock-deficient mice on strictly controlled feeding and fasting schedules while monitoring gene expression across the whole genome.
They found that putting mice on a strict 8-hour feeding/16-hour fasting schedule restored the circadian transcription pattern of most metabolic genes in the liver of mice without a circadian clock. Conversely, during prolonged fasting, only a small subset of genes continued to be transcribed in a circadian pattern even with a functional circadian clock present.
In mammals, the circadian timing system is composed of a central circadian clock in the brain and subsidiary oscillators in most peripheral tissues. The master clock in the brain is set by light and determines the overall diurnal or nocturnal preference of an animal, including sleep-wake cycles and feeding behavior. The clocks in peripheral organs are largely insensitive to changes in the light regime. Instead, their phase and amplitude are affected by many factors including feeding time.
"The liver oscillator in particular helps the organism to adapt to a daily pattern of food availability by temporally tuning the activity of thousands of genes regulating metabolism and physiology," says Panda. "This regulation is very important, since the absence of a robust circadian clock predisposes the organism to various metabolic dysfunctions and diseases."
"Our study represents a seminal shift in how we think about circadian cycles," he says. "The circadian clock is no longer the sole driver of rhythms in gene function, instead the phase and amplitude of rhythmic gene function in the liver is determined by feeding and fasting periods—the more defined they are, the more robust the oscillations become."

The pain of loss is the common thread among us all. None of us escapes that pain, whether it's loss of a relationship, a job, or our self respect. When dealing with divorce or other life transitions, we need to mourn the loss of dreams and hopes. Often we busy ourselves or turn to substances to avoid that pain. This can quickly turn to complicated grief-- grief on top of grief, multiplying the pain, which can lead to debilitating depression or other physical illnesses. I have extensive training in healing grief and loss. No matter how bad it hurts, it's not too late to come for healing.

NOUN: Chiefly Southern Louisiana & Mississippi 1. A small gift presented by a storeowner to a customer with the customer's purchase. 2. An extra or unexpected gift or benefit. Also called Regional boot2. See Regional Note at beignet.
ETYMOLOGY: Louisiana French, from American Spanish la ñapa, the gift : la, the (from Latin illa, feminine of ille, that, the; see al-1 in Appendix I) + ñapa (variant of yapa, gift, from Quechua, from yapay, to give more).
REGIONAL NOTE: Lagniappe derives from New World Spanish la ñapa, "the gift," and ultimately from Quechua yapay, "to give more." The word came into the rich Creole dialect mixture of New Orleans and there acquired a French spelling. It is still used in the Gulf states, especially southern Louisiana, to denote a little bonus that a friendly shopkeeper might add to a purchase. By extension, it may mean "an extra or unexpected gift or benefit." American Heritage®

Philip Rivers should be feeling a smidge better now.
Tom Telesco, meantime, may find his sleep to be more restful.
Tuesday's signing of Max Starks gives the Chargers a true, average NFL left tackle. The same couldn't be said of the three suspects at the position last year.
Starks, plucked out of a bin of scraps, isn't Anthony Munoz redux.
But he should upgrade a position that contributed to Rivers taking more sacks than any other AFC quarterback last year.
Even if he's no longer Mad Max, mover of men, Starks is a three-time Super Bowl starter who last year was Pittsburgh's most durable blocker. Last month I explained why the younger, steadier Starks, 31, is the better choice than Bryant McKinnie, who chose the Ravens over the Chargers.
Ken Whisenhunt may be in better spirits today, too. He was Pittsburgh's play caller and Starks the left tackle when the Steelers won Super Bowl XL after the 2005 season.
Telesco, who inherited a Swiss Cheese roster, will eventually need to find a franchise left tackle. What he found is a better rental. He also improved the depth at both tackle spots, the ideal role for King Dunlap, a 20-game starter who was among Telesco's early wave of signees this offseason.
As a bonus for the rookie general manager, he'll not be asked about left tackle every 13 seconds.
Trust me, he will consider that a treat.
Here, below, is the GM talking on April 26th after he chatted about his top-three draft picks (none of them left tackles). He's responding to a reporter's ensuing query about left tackle.
Telesco: You guys with the left tackle, it's unbelievable.
Reporter: Is it not important?
Telesco: We've got so many picks. You can't get everything all at once, so we do what we can do. There are other avenues in trying to get things. You haven't seen King Dunlap yet. All you've seen is his name. What can you say about him? He can pass protect. We'll see. There may be some more guys here before we get to camp. You just keep plugging away at it.

Ray Price released from hospital
Listen to Ray Price on iHeartRadio
Ray Price is out of the hospital. The country legend's wife Janie says in her latest Facebook post that the singer arrived back home late Monday night "tired but so happy."
She adds that Ray has been instructed to "take it easy and get rested up," and "also to EAT, EAT, EAT!! AND DRINK, DRINK, DRINK!" Janie says Ray will begin his rehabilitation next week to help him rebuild his strength.
The 87-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer spent nearly two weeks in the hospital receiving treatment for kidney stones, which stemmed from the severe dehydration that left him hospitalized last month.

Feds: These Plastic Guns We Printed Are a Menace
(NEWSER) – After months of creating plastic guns with 3D printers, ATF agents have confirmed that they work—a lot of the time—and can be both lethal and very hard to detect. "We downloaded files, we created firearms from those files, and we tested those firearms," said the chief of the agency's firearms technology branch after experiments with the Liberator, a plastic handgun that can be printed with blueprints posted online that were downloaded more than 100,000 times earlier this year. To comply with the soon-to-expire Undetectable Firearms Act, the Liberator design includes a few ounces of metal, but it can be removed and the weapon works perfectly without it, theHuffington Post reports.

Mount Fuji
Photograph by Toshitaka Mori/Sebun Photo
Snowcapped Mount Fuji casts a bright spot on the frozen surface of Lake Yamanaka. The 12,388-foot (3,776-meter) volcano, which last erupted almost 300 years ago, is for the Japanese an enduring national symbol of serenity and strength. On a clear day, the iconic peak can be seen from Tokyo, 70 miles (112 kilometers) away.

Standing at low tide, the torii on Miyajima is thrown into silhouette as the sun sinks behind a mountain. The famous vermilion gate was built in 1875 and is the largest in Japan, standing about 53 feet (16 meters) high. Torii are traditionally built as entrances to Shinto shrines.
Rice Terraces

Flooded rice terraces overlook water sparkling with fishermen's fires. Rice, which has been cultivated in Japan for at least 2,000 years, is an important staple of the Japanese diet. The country's hilly and mountainous landscape is particularly suited for farming the grain.
Night Fishing

A fire illuminates the surrounding water as a man and woman fish after the sun has set. Fishing in Japan is increasingly the labor of an older population, as fewer of the industrialized country's young people are attracted to the trade. Japan is the largest single-country importer of fish, with 18 percent of the world total.

New Year's Rice Cakes
Photograph by Phil Iossifidis, My Shot
Rice cakes, or mochi, are a favorite in Japan, particularly during the New Year, when they are traditionally given as gifts, set out decoratively in the home, or offered at shrines and temples. Their surfaces dusted with flour, the sticky, glutinous cakes are often stuffed with sweet beans or served in soup and, when not made by hand in a complex process, are widely available in supermarkets.
Paper Lanterns

Paper lanterns decorated with script glow orange in Japan. The Japanese language commonly uses 15,000 kanji characters, which are borrowed from Chinese. Schoolchildren as young as seven must confront the language's complexities, such as learning to write some of the 200-plus characters for the sound "shou."

Sumo wrestlers clash in a ring in Nagoya. Once supported by the patronage of emperors, Japan's national sport has roots going back nearly 1,500 years. Short but intense, most matches last less than a minute, with the grandly attired gyoji serving as referee.

Drake aspires to be Marvin Gaye
Listen to Drake on iHeartRadio
Drake says he'll never make a "straight rap album." The Young Money emcee tells MTV News that he doesn't want to be confined to one genre, but to "make songs for people."
While "Drizzy" welcomes fans to be a part of his music, he says they shouldn't be surprised when he's "singing or using melody." Drake adds that he has "aspirations to be Marvin Gaye" and just wants to "sing the world's triumphs and problems on one record."
Drake's third album Nothing Was The Same is set to hit stores on September 24th.

On transcription and other aspects of the craft of qualitative research
This article is directed toward helping to bridge the gap between oral discourse and its written versions. The authors examine the way in which oral communication is registered and transformed into written text to avoid gross distortions but also to highlight the unavoidable interpretive character of any transcription. Special emphasis is put on artisan procedures, because many students and researchers in nonindustrialized countries have little access to specific software (both because of idiom and for economic reasons), which although not totally eliminating human intervention, certainly simplify the tasks to be done. The authors describe an accessible way of designing discursive tables using a popular word processor and discuss the degrees and limitations of editing transcriptions. [Full text only in Spanish]

I just bought a new Dell monitor equiped with a webcam. Happens to be my first webcam. The documentation says I can monitor remotely. Which leads me to my question... can I sniff my webcam traffic remotely. I've googled and unfortunately all my searches for anything "webcam" related has not been successful. Although some of the results were amusing :). I followed a tutorial here ...the one a while ago about aquiring songs from myspace with Wireshark. Is this the right direction to take?...or maybe some other tool available in BT? Can I siphon webcam data from a .cap file?
Thanks in advance.

This first issue of ARCHITECT in the new year provides a chance to share what AIA members, along with our colleagues in the profession, government, and the public, can expect from the Institute in the months ahead. As we move forward into 2013, the AIA is standing on the threshold of exciting opportunities. These are opportunities to promote the value of design, enhance member sharing of knowledge, renew the focus on the growth of emerging professionals, look forward to business and marketplace trends that will help our firms grow and create jobs, and optimize the abilities of our components. It's a big agenda to shape the future of the profession, and it can only be achieved by thoughtful leadership, effective advocacy, and clear communication.
It is important that our profession builds a network to identify, recruit, and train architects who aspire to leadership. Expanding our reach through this network heightens the public awareness of design and positions architects as a valuable part of the worldwide marketplace. To ensure this long-term marketplace value, we must commit to leadership development of emerging professionals. As the future of the profession, their knowledge and energy are essential to the continued growth and prosperity of the profession.
Our leadership is also essential to support our advocacy agenda—not only to aggressively promote responsible legislation on the local, state, and federal levels, but to enthusiastically communicate our vision of the important role that design plays in shaping livable and sustainable communities. Sustainability is about our health, how we educate the next generation, developing research and technology, public safety, accessibility to quality housing, and the ability for our communities to withstand and recover from the forces of nature. The legacy of the AIA will be built through political and community advocacy for a sustainable lifestyle that is understandable, available, and affordable for everyone.
These issues cry out for our profession's core competency—design. Our success is dependent on our leaders moving this platform forward. That's why, under the leadership of 2012 AIA President Jeff Potter, the Institute embarked on a major communication initiative last year to study the way that the AIA—and, most importantly, you and I—talk about the value of design. "Repositioning the Profession" is not an academic exercise in rebranding. It's much more. It has to do with the way we tell our story about the power of design and how it makes a positive difference in every aspect of our lives.
Beginning next month, AIA members will learn about the initial recommendations of this unprecedented initiative. The "Repositioning" agenda has been developed with the assistance of over 15,000 points of information provided by you—committed and interested AIA members—responding to a call for your ideas and thoughts on how to address the issues facing the profession. Much of the rest of the year and beyond will be focused on how best to implement a strategy to expand an appreciation for, and increase the marketplace value of, the multitude of services we provide for our clients—services that affect the built environment and the quality of life in our communities.
Nobody is better prepared to be in the center of shaping the future than architects. Our training, our vision, our work, and our passion make a difference in people's lives every day. For me, the way forward is clear: Building leaders builds our future.
Our challenge and our responsibility will be to find new ways to tell the story of how architecture makes a difference. It's now up to us to decide how to implement the "Repositioning" of the profession and I'm excited about the possibilities.
Join our conversation at aia.org/repositioning.
Mickey Jacob, FAIA, 2013 President

Mark Schauer on Corporations
Mark understands what the economy looks like not just to corporate CEOs, but to the hard-working Michiganders who make our economy tick. Growing up, Mark saved for college with his paper route, pumping gas, and flipping burgers.
As Governor, Mark will work to build an economy that works for everyone--not just the wealthy and the special interests.
Corporate and Financial Institution Compensation Fairness Act: Amends the Securities Exchange Act to require that any proxy for an annual shareholders meeting provide for a separate shareholder vote to approve executive compensation for named executive officers. The shareholder vote shall not be:
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. BARNEY FRANK (D, MA-4): The amount of wages is irrelevant to the SEC. What this bill explicitly aims at is the practice whereby people are given bonuses that pay off if the gamble pays off, but don't lose you anything if it doesn't. That is, there is a wide consensus that this incentivizes excessive risk.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. SPENCER BACHUS (R, AL-6): True, the first 6 pages of the bill give the owners, the shareholders, a non-binding vote on the pay of top executives. But then come the next 8 pages, the switch, which gives the regulators the power to decide appropriate compensation for not only just top executives but for all employees of all financial institutions above $1 billion in assets and all without regard for the shareholders' prior approval. So under the guise of empowering shareholders, it is, in fact, the government that is empowered. And, finally, on page 15, the bill designates those same government entities which regulated AIG, Countrywide, and collectively failed to prevent the worst financial calamity since the Great Depression. This bill continues the Democrat majority's tendency to go to the default solution for every problem: create a government bureaucracy to make decisions better left to private citizens and private corporations.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. NYDIA VELÁZQUEZ (D, NY-12): We need jobs that cannot be shipped overseas and will not evaporate in the next cycle of boom and bust. But those jobs aren't going to appear out of thin air. They need to be created. By expanding existing industries and unlocking new ones, H.R. 2965 will generate the jobs we need. Job creation is the primary goal of R&D. But in order to generate new positions, we have to first develop new industries. Commercialization is critical to that process.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. ED MARKEY (D, MA-7): I must oppose this bill because I have serious concerns about allowing SBIR awards to go to an unlimited number of businesses owned or controlled by venture capital (VC) firms. The SBIR program, responsible for over 60,000 patents, has always focused on innovation from truly small businesses for whom commercial capital market funding is typically not an option. However, with the change made in this bill, the SBIR program would be wide open to applicants that already are well-capitalized due to VC participation, crowding out the small businesses that have been the focus of the highly successful SBIR program.
While I support VC participation in the SBIR program, enabling an unlimited amount of large VC majority-owned firms to qualify for SBIR funding calls into question whether this program, intended for genuinely small businesses, is, in fact, still focused on these firms.
We should do everything in our power to strengthen small businesses that generate 70% of new jobs in our country. H.R 2965 does not do enough to ensure that small businesses are the focus of the SBIR program, and therefore I cannot support the bill.

University has seven Fulbright scholarship winners
Seven students with ties to the University of South Carolina will be conducting research and studying abroad as part of the Fulbright Scholars program.
The students include: two recent graduates, Nessa Ann Kerr of Loveland, CO, and Jessica Steele of Hilton Head Island, SC; two graduate students, Hannah Theresa Nicol of Wapakoneta, OH, and Michelle Sharonda Williams of Petersburg, VA; and three alumni, Jeremy Paul Gahm of Camden, SC, Chase Powell Stoudenmire of Greer, SC, and Callie G. Van Koughnett of Louden, KY.
The Fulbright program, sponsored by the U.S. government, is the flagship international educational exchange program and is designed to foster understanding with people of other countries. Applicants are chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential. Fulbright Scholars have the opportunity to study, teach or conduct research and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns in more than 155 countries.
Kerr, the daughter of Maureen and Tim Kerr of Loveland, CO, is a 2010 graduate of the South Carolina Honors College with a double major in art history and German. She was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa her junior year and was on both the president's honor roll and the dean's list. For two summers, she helped in a German elementary school English classroom while conducting research for a Magellan grant for her undergraduate thesis. As part of the Fulbright Scholar program, Kerr will be an English teaching assistant in a secondary school in Germany. Upon her return to the U.S., Kerr hopes to participate in Teach for America or attend graduate school for museum studies.
Steele, the daughter of Cecily and Donald Steele of Hilton Head Island, is a graduate of the Asheville School. She is USC's 2010 Woman of the Year and is a graduate of the South Carolina Honors College with a Baccalaureus Artium et Scientiae (BARSC) major which combined study in international studies, public health, English and Spanish. Steele was a Carolina Scholar and a Palmetto Fellow and was a co-founder of USC's Roosevelt Institution. In her junior year, she was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and was selected as a Harry S Truman Scholarship finalist. During her senior year, she received a Magellan Research Fellowship to explore Nutrition and the Latina Paradox and was named Volunteer of the Year by Palmetto Health. Steele will use her Fulbright award to help ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher training classes in Argentina and work with Argentine programs that offer maternal and child health education. On her return, she wants to enroll in a master's of public health program and eventually work with non-profits that offer prenatal education programs to underserved populations.

PHOTO: Naya Rivera covers 'Rolling Stone' for Latin Hot List
Naya Rivera says she's taking her career into her own hands.
The "Glee" star is featured on the flip cover of this week's "Rolling Stone," and revealing her plans as a solo artist.
In the story, she explains that it took her "a long time" to figure out what she saw for herself musically.
Naya says it all came together with her single "Sorry," which features her now-fiance rapper Big Sean.
After recording the track, she says she told her label Columbia, "This is what I'm doing" and to "get on or get off."
She insisted "Sorry" be released as a summer single, and told her label of three years she wanted to hear it on the radio before the end of summer.
Naya is almost finished recording her debut solo album, and continues in her role as Santana on "Glee" this season.

GSA's Revamped e-Buy Jumpstarts Online RFQ Competition
July 31, 2002
Contact: Deborah K. Ruiz, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC - An online Request for Quotes (RFQ) tool created by the U.S. General Services Administration now offers Federal buyers a fresh, new look and more search muscle in today's electronic marketplace.
"GSA is committed to ensuring that agencies are well-positioned to obtain the products and services they need from the commercial marketplace. E-Buy makes use of modern technology to provide an efficient and effective tool which enables Federal buyers to interact with the commercial marketplace and obtain best value solutions for their operations, " said GSA Administrator Stephen A. Perry.
Launched last year as part of GSA Advantage!, e-Buy recently introduced a newer and smarter version after Federal buyers expressed a need for a simple yet flexible way to obtain quotes for services and large quantities of products. All registered users of GSA Advantage! have e-Buy access.
E-Buy streamlines the buying process with point-and-click functionality by allowing RFQ's and quotes to be exchanged electronically between Federal buyers and Schedule contractors. In the process, e-Buy eliminates the need for mailing and faxing, allows electronic orders to be placed and improves search capabilities. Buyers set the parameters of the RFQ such as closing dates, vendors solicited, performance criteria and evaluation criteria. Buyers performing market research can use e-Buy to simplify the process of requesting information from Schedule contractors.
"With continued focus on increasing competition under GSA's Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program, e-Buy supports the Administration's goal of creating a market-based government that is committed to competition, innovation, and transparency," said Angela Styles, Administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy of the Office of Management and Budget.
GSA Advantage! is the agency's award-winning online catalog providing Web access to more than 8,800 contracts offering over 3 million products and services at www.gsaadvantage.gov. GSA contracted with Unisys Corporation, Broadvision, Sybase and Verity in the development of e-Buy.
One of three service branches within the agency, FSS plays a key role in the acquisition of services and supplies, including computer and telecommunications equipment, for the federal government.

Lol. a Saj Mahmood sighting too.

What a ****in wanker.

lol @ KP's dismissal
Nominate Kevin Pietersen, Ahemdabad 2012
I know getting out on the last ball of a day is kinda Clarke's schtick, but has his dismissal by Harmy at the end of day 3 of the 2nd test in 2005 had a mention yet?
Strolls out of the crease and allows himself to be yorked by a slower ball that he tried to shovel through the leg side.
Decent nut, but given Oz were 7 down in the 4th innings and still facing a deficit of (IIRC) 99 it must score pretty well on the "match awareness" quotient.

There was a famous Gower dismissal in the 1990/91 Ashes. I can't remember which test it was, but he was comfortably set with lunch approaching and decided to give the guy at fine leg some catching practice.

Wasn't early in his innings. Was on 30 at the time. Him & Warne had moved Oz from 137/7 to 175/7 and it was the last ball of the day.
Still a brain fade, IMHO.
He tried to clip a ball on the stumps through the legside.

Sparks is the vehicle for the skewed pop smarts and wise-guy wordplay of brothers Ron and Russell Mael, Los Angeles natives who spent their childhood modeling young men's apparel for mail-order catalogs. While attending UCLA in 1970, the Maels formed their first group, Halfnelson, which featured songwriter Ron on keyboards and Russell as lead vocalist; the band was rounded out by another pair of brothers, guitarist Earle and bassist Jim Mankey, and drummer Harley Feinstein.
Halfnelson soon came to the attention of Todd Rundgren, who helped land the group a contract with Bearsville and produced their self-titled 1971 debut. Their quirky, tongue-in-cheek art pop failed to find an audience, however, and their manager successfully convinced the Maels to change the group's name. After becoming Sparks, they almost reached the Hot 100 with the single "Wonder Girl," and 1972's sublimely bizarre A Woofer in Tweeter's Clothing cemented the band's cult status, scoring another near-hit with "Girl from Germany."
While touring the U.K., Sparks were warmly received by the British music press, and ultimately, the Mael brothers relocated to London, leaving the rest of the band behind; Earle Mankey subsequently became a noted producer, while Jim later joined Concrete Blonde. In need of a new support unit, the Maels placed an advertisement in Melody Maker, and with guitarist Adrian Fisher, bassist Martin Gordon, and drummer Norman "Dinky" Diamond firmly in place, they recorded 1974's glam-bubblegum opus Kimono My House, which reached the Top Five of the U.K. album charts and spawned two major British hits, "This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us" and "Amateur Hour."
With new guitarist Trevor White and bassist Ian Hampton, Sparks returned later that year with Propaganda, another U.K. smash that scored with the hits "Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth" and "Something for the Girl with Everything." Overblown production from Tony Visconti derailed 1975's Indiscreet, however, and when the record fared less successfully than its predecessors, the Maels returned to the U.S., where they recruited Tuff Darts guitarist Jeff Salen, former Milk & Cookies bassist Sal Maida, and drummer Hilly Michaels for 1976's Big Beat.
By 1977's ironic Introducing Sparks, recorded with a series of Los Angeles session players, the Mael brothers were treading water, so they enlisted disco producer Giorgio Moroder to helm 1979's synth-powered dance-pop confection No. 1 in Heaven, which spurred the group to renewed success in England on the strength of the hit singles "The Number One Song in Heaven," "Beat the Clock," and "Tryouts for the Human Race." Moroder's sidekick Harold Faltermeyer took the production reins for the immediate follow-up, Terminal Jive, which scored a massive French hit with "When I'm with You."
Sparks left disco in the dust with 1981's Whomp That Sucker, recorded in Munich with a new supporting band comprised of guitarist Bob Haag, bassist Leslie Bohem, and drummer David Kendrick (who also played together as the Gleaming Spires). After 1982's Angst in My Pants, they recorded 1983's Sparks in Outer Space; the wonderful "Cool Places," a duet with the Go-Go's Jane Wiedlin, nearly reached the U.S. Top 40, and was the band's biggest hit.
The disastrous 1984 LP Pulling Rabbits Out of a Hat derailed any chart momentum the band had gathered at home, however, and after 1986's self-explanatory Music That You Can Dance To, Sparks -- again reduced to the core duo of Ron and Russell -- recorded 1988's Interior Design, which was followed by a long hiatus. Outside of composing the music for a film by Hong Kong action maestro Tsui Hark, Sparks remained silent until Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins, released in 1994. Plagiarism followed four years later. With 2000's Balls, the band ushered in a more productive era, releasing Lil' Beethoven in 2002, Hello Young Lovers in 2006, and Exotic Creatures of the Deep in 2008. The following year, the band was commissioned by Swedish National Radio to compose a piece of radio theater, resulting in their eclectic twenty-second album, The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman. It received its live premiere in 2011, at the Los Angeles Film Festival, and the Maels also produced new recordings, with their remix of Yoko Ono's "Give Me Something" and a new theme song for the American public-radio program Bookworm. ~ Jason Ankeny

One of the great capitals of Europe, Vienna was for centuries the main stomping grounds for the Habsburg rulers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The empire is long gone, but many reminders of the city's imperial heyday remain, carefully preserved by the tradition-loving Viennese. When it comes to the arts, the glories of the past are particularly evergreen, thanks to the cultural legacy created by the many artistic geniuses—including Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss, and Gustav Klimt—nourished here. Today's visitors will find a city filled with a special grace. It is this grace that gives Vienna the cohesive architectural character that sets the city so memorably apart from its great rivals—London, Paris, and Rome.

simple solution: start networking and set up ssh on your backtrack vm. get a copy of putty (available online, use your jedi search abilities). ensure sshd is running on your vm, and use putty in windoze to connect to your vm's ip address.
you can run putty as many times as you like to make as many connections to your vm as it will allow, in order to use the aircrack-ng suite. i.e.: run kismet in one window, airodump-ng in another and aircrack in a third.
why you would want to do it this way is beyond me, but that's one way to get done what you want to do.

The Australian share market has closed slightly higher as investors wait on the release of important jobs numbers in the US.
The closely watched US non-farm payrolls figures for April, which will be released on Friday night (AEST), could show signs of recovery in the world's biggest economy.
OptionsXpress market analyst Ben Le Brun said trading volumes had been weak on the local bourse ahead of those figures.
"It's a very lacklustre day as we expected from the start given that we've got non-farm payrolls out of the US tonight," he said.
Investors were sitting on the sidelines as the doubts about value in the banking sector, a drop in the iron ore price and soft retail sales from Wesfarmers, Woolworths and Myer had generated some negativity this week, Mr Le Brun said.
A good financial result from Westpac on Monday could help improve sentiment, he said.
Among the major banks, ANZ lifted 27 cents to $34.34, Commonwealth Bank gained 50 cents to $79.14, Westpac advanced 17 cents to $34.87, but National Australia Bank fell 15 cents to $34.56.
Investment bank Macquarie Group firmed 50 cents to $58.70 after its full year profit grew by 49 per cent.
In the resources sector, BHP Billiton dropped 23 cents to $37.27, Rio Tinto lifted 19 cents to $60.98, and Fortescue Metals found six cents at $4.91.
Retailer Myer was five cents weaker at $2.12 after a steady third quarter sales performance.
Winemaker Treasury Wine Estates' shares surged by 25 cents to $4.09 on speculation of interest in its US assets from Pernod Ricard.
* At the close on Friday, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was up 9.3 points, or 0.17 per cent, at 5,458.1 points.
* The broader All Ordinaries index was up 8.4 points, or 0.15 per cent, at 5,438.8 points.
* On the ASX 24, the June share price index futures contract was 13 points higher at 5,447 points, with 21,221 contracts traded.
* National turnover was 1.64 billion securities worth $3.45 billion.
* The price of gold in Sydney at 1700 AEST was $US1,283.50 per fine ounce, down $US2.71 on Thusday's price of $1,286.21.
