Trisha Yearwood's New Album On The Way
Listen to Trisha Yearwood Radio on iHeartRadio
Trisha Yearwood says she "can't even find the right words to express" her excitement over her new studio album.
The country star says she's calling her upcoming release PrizeFighter because it "feels like an anthem" for everyone. She explains that it's "about fighting for what you believe in and never giving up," which is "a message we all need to hear."
An arrival date for the album hasn't been announced yet. But Yearwood has said she expected to release a new CD this fall, in conjunction with her tour with Garth Brooks. The trek begins in Chicago on September 4th.
PrizeFighter is Trisha's first studio project in seven years, following 2007's Heaven Heartache and the Power of Love. It's also her first release under a new deal with Sony Music.
Yearwood formally announced the album at an event Tuesday in Nashville, which also celebrated the many other projects she has in the works. The singer will launch the fifth season of her Food Network series, "Trisha's Southern Kitchen," this weekend. She also has another cookbook on the way, and she'll be introducing a line of cookware and cutlery this fall.

LONDON -- Compass Group PLC, the world's biggest contract foodservice provider and parent of Canteen Vending, saw fiscal 2011 net profits rise 8% and revenues increase by a similar percentage.
Earnings climbed to $1.14 billion in the 12 months ending Sept. 30 from $1.05 billion a year earlier. Revenues grew 9.4% to $24.7 billion in 2011.
North America, which the company described as "open to outsourcing," generated nearly $10.9 billion of its total revenue and was its biggest growth driver in 2011.
Growth in emerging markets also helped offset tough economic conditions in Europe and the devastating earthquakes and tsunami hit Japan in March, which Compass Group said impacted profits by about $23.4 million.
Compass has an upbeat outlook for the company and its possibilities for expansion.
"The group continues to make excellent progress, despite the headwinds of food cost inflation, an uncertain economic backdrop in parts of the world and the impact of events in Japan," said Compass Group chairman Roy Gardner. "Looking forward, Compass is well placed to exploit the significant growth opportunities that we see in many of our markets."
Separately, Compass announced the appointment of Dominic Blakemore as finance director and Gary Green and Andy Martin as chief operating officers. The new management structure puts Green in charge of North America; Martin will focus on Europe and Japan, while Compass chief executive Richard Cousins will oversee emerging markets.
Compass also announced plans for a $781 million buyback program. The stock will be repurchased over the next 12 months.

Orem • Sammie Jensen could not answer the question.
As she walked Utah Valley University's corridors, the school's best female basketball player thought about it, laughed, thought some more and eventually gave up.
"I just don't know," she said, unable to remember her last spontaneous act.
As the reigning Great West Conference Player of the Year prepares for her senior season coming off back-to-back years of averaging a double-double in points and rebounds Jensen is single-minded in making her senior year a success.
She scored 15 points with 14 rebounds in a season-opening loss to Boise State.
Jensen, a two-time all-state basketball player for Grantsville High, also looks beyond basketball to what she believes is her true calling. She has wanted to become a doctor working with children since grade school.
There was no great moment of inspiration. No one in her family practices medicine.
"I have no idea why," she said after a practice. "I just loved it ever since I was little. You can go back to elementary school and I still have all my stuff written down: name, what I want to be.
"I've always been fascinated with guts and blood and all that type of stuff. I watched medical shows when other people would watch cartoons."
Even now, teammates occasionally chide the 6-foot post who averaged 13.4 points and 10.1 rebounds last season for keeping her head in a book. And, if one degree wasn't enough, Jensen will leave UVU with bachelor's degrees in biology and chemistry.
"She fits what I envision a Wolverine basketball player being," said coach Cathy Nixon, now in her 18th season at UVU. "She has the character that I want to build my career around and what I want instilled in my players. And she's a very good student. She balances the life of a student athlete with grace, and that's not easy to do."
It is, though, something Jensen has done throughout her life growing up in Stansbury Park. She played guitar and saxophone in jazz band, but had to give it up to concentrate on studies.
Jensen isn't waiting around for anything. She chose Snow College as a freshman in order to play and not sit on the bench. She chose UVU for the same reasons, without a tinge of remorse for being unable to play next year when the Wolverines enter the Western Athletic Conference and possible postseason play.
The GWC is not eligible for NCAA Tournament play.
"The NCAA Tournament never crossed my mind," Jensen said. "I play because I love the game. I chose the school because I wanted to play. As far as the WAC, it's a really great accomplishment, but it doesn't really change what my focus is."
One part of Jensen's life will end at the end of this basketball season, opening up another, more important chapter, without regrets.
"I've always been a pretty driven kid. I can't seem to take the easy route," Jensen said. "A big regret would be if I didn't go to medical school."

Using Phenomenology to Study How Junior and Senior High School Students in Japan Perceive Their Volunteer Efforts
The purpose of this paper is to describe the methods used in a phenomenological study aimed at understanding students' perceptions of volunteer experiences from the viewpoint of their existential meanings. In Japan, as volunteer activities have just been recently introduced to youth education, it is necessary to verify the effect of the activity on the students. The authors present phenomenological reduction, which is a fundamental concept in phenomenology, as a health care research method to elucidate the essence of people's lived experiences. The 22 statements presented from volunteer students' group discussion after their practices were redescribed by phenomenological reduction, a method of valid interpretation based on their embodiment and desire. The phenomenological approach allows us to understand the essence of students' perceptions in terms of their purpose in life, which suggests that educators could inspire the students to realize existential growth by participating in volunteer activities through practical communications with others.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSPD) -- Early voting is underway across Ohio for the May primary.
There is only one statewide issue, renewal of a public works program to fund infrastructure updates.

Many of those issues deal with schools or safety levies. There are also local primaries for legislative, congressional, and local races.
"Several school levies, fire and police levies were decided by just one vote in the 2013 general election," said Husted.
Early in-person voting happens from 8am - 5pm Monday through Friday and 8am - 9pm on Monday, April 7, the last day of registration.
24,000 absentee ballots have already been mailed out for voting from home.

COLUMUS, OH -- Paul A. Corey, the longtime executive of the Ohio Coin Machine Association and champion of the amusements industry, died on Dec. 11. He was 87.
Corey graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1949 and moved to Cleveland where he taught and served as president of the Cleveland Teachers Union while earning his master's degree from Case Western Reserve University.
He went on to serve as director of the Ohio Department of State Personnel. In 1973, he became the first civilian chosen by a U.S. president to serve as director of the Ohio Selective Service System.
In 1975, he left government service and established PACA Inc., a firm specializing in government relations and association management. He was later appointed to the Ohio Expositions Commission & State Fair where he served for 17 years.
Corey was struck with polio when he was a year old and, at age seven, received one of the world's first successful muscle transplants. Doctors said he would never walk, but he was only confined to a wheelchair during the last year of his life.
He was predeceased by his wife, Marie Antoinette Cercek, and is survived by his children, Denis and David and Janet C. (Jeffrey) Hawk, and four grandchildren. David is the current director of OCMA.

It seemed the only drama Tuesday night at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center would be whether LSU hit the century mark for the first time in seven seasons.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Northwestern State created some real drama.
The Demons surged back from a 21-point deficit to make it a four-point game in the final minutes, a fast, sudden comeback that made LSU work for a 102-95 victory before an announced crowd of 7,018.
"I told our guys, 'This game is a long way from being over,' because I knew those guys didn't have any quit in them," LSU coach Johnny Jones said. "They would continue to battle and fight. I knew coming in it was going to be a hard-fought basketball game."
The two-headed monster that was James Hulbin and DeQuan Hicks helped Northwestern threaten to end an eight-game losing streak against LSU that dates to the 1950s. But the Tigers — who've often struggled from the foul line this season — knocked down enough free throws late to survive.
Hulbin scored 29 points for Northwestern and grabbed six rebounds, while Hicks had 28 points and seven boards.
To offset the late Northwestern rally, LSU needed its first trip to triple figures since early in the 2005-06 season, the year Glen Davis, Tyrus Thomas & Co. led the Tigers to a Final Four berth.
Jones, however, focused more on the points his team gave up.
"Scoring 102 points, that generally doesn't happen," Jones said. "We want to try to score around 75-80 points and hold our opponents, hopefully, in the 60s at best. We want to hold them to a low field-goal percentage shooting night."
Off to their first 3-0 start since the 2009-10 season, the Tigers will face Mississippi Valley State on Saturday before closing November with a home game against Seton Hall in the SEC-Big East Challenge.
Shavon Coleman, who exploded for 25 points in a rout of McNeese State last week, followed that performance with a team-high 22 points Tuesday. Anthony Hickey had 21 points, and Charles Carmouche added 19, part of a balanced offensive attack that featured four Tigers in double figures.
Johnny O'Bryant was the other top scorer, chipping in 13 points to go with six rebounds after missing the past game and a half with a strained calf.
Andrew Del Piero had only four points and two rebounds, but the former walk-on saw the first first-half action of his career and helped give the Tigers a lift late in a momentum-turning first half.
LSU finished the first half with 52 points, its first time reaching 50 in a half since last year's season opener.
Despite those efforts, Northwestern, after falling behind 72-51 on a Malik Morgan layup with 12:14 left, got all the way back within 88-82 when Hulbin drew a foul by O'Bryant — the LSU big man's fifth — and scored inside with 2:47 left.
"We knew that we all had to come together, especially when Johnny fouled out of the game," Coleman said. 'We knew that we all had to come together, stay focused and finish the game."
The Demons (3-1) got as close as four points, first on a Hicks layup with 1:56 to play and again on a pair of Shamir Davis free throws with 17 seconds left.
But LSU perked up from the free-throw line right in time.
The Tigers entered Tuesday having connected on only 19 of 42 free throws (45.2 percent) and started the third game of year 16-of-34 from the line. They found the mark late, making 13 of their 17 attempts in the final three-plus minutes.
LSU's late accuracy from the line included Carmouche's making three of four in the final 15 seconds.

2010 Nissan Xterra Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2010 Nissan Xterra based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
A whining or buzzing type noise may develop from the timing chain area caused by excess slack in the secondary timing chains. Nissan has issued a service bulletin (NTB09-128) regarding this issue. Replacement of both secondary timing chains and their tensioner shoes will be necessary to repair this concern. As part of this repair, the engine oil and filter should also be replaced.
The fuel level sensor can fail causing erratic or inaccurate fuel gauge readings. The Check Engine Light may also illuminate. Nissan has recalled 2006 - 2008 vehicles only for this fuel gauge issue. For more information on the recall, please click here»
The 2005-2010 Nissan Xterra equipped with the automatic transmission may develop an issue which is commonly known as the "strawberry milkshake".
The name is based on the color and consistency of the fluid found in the coolant reservoir, transmission, and radiator.
The radiator on these models has an isolated portion for cooling automatic transmission fluid(ATF) that is pumped in and out by the transmission. This area of the radiator is known to rupture internally, and the following occurs:
- Transmission overheating warning light
- Transmission slipping (engine revs high and vehicle moves slowly)
- Jerking when accelerating
- Engine overheating
- ATF and engine coolant mix in the radiator, engine, and transmission
Engine coolant in the transmission can cause severe damage, and if not caught immediately may require replacement or rebuild of the automatic transmission.
To correct the situation, the radiator must be replaced, and the engine cooling system must be flushed thoroughly. Also, the transmission will need to be professionally flushed, inspected, and possibly repaired or replaced.
To prevent this from occurring, proactive replacement of the radiator is necessary and recommended.

Roman Bellic (Serbian: Роман Белић, Roman Belić) (1977 - 2008) (Deal storyline) is a character in Grand Theft Auto IV and the 31-year old cousin of the game protagonist, Niko Bellic. Bellic was born in Eastern Europe but moved to Liberty City in 1998, aged twenty-one. He later claims to be living the "American Dream" and that he has two women, four hot tubs and fifteen sports cars. This prompts Niko to join him in America, where Niko discovers he owns a small, gritty taxi firm, an apartment in Broker, and has large gambling debts, owed to the Albanians and Vladimir Glebov. Roman is also the boyfriend, later husband, of Mallorie Bardas, and the nephew of Milica Bellic. Roman has been arrested on two occasions: in 2005 for promoting gambling and in 2006 for public intoxication and disorderly conduct.
Early life
Roman Bellic was born in Yugoslavia. He and his cousin Niko grew up together since their fathers were brothers and they lived next to each other. Niko claims that mostly Roman's mother raised both of them when the war came, she used all of the money she had saved to send Roman to the United States of America. She also wanted to send Niko to the U.S., but he stayed to fight in the war. In a conversation with Kate McReary, Niko says that he found Roman's mother raped and murdered, although Niko told Roman that she died in a house fire. In conversations between Niko and Roman and other characters, it is revealed that both Niko's and Roman's fathers were alcoholic, wife-beating bullies.
When Niko arrives in Liberty City, he soon finds out that Roman is heavily in debt with various figures in the city, including the Russian and Albanian Mafias, due to his gambling addiction and his attempts to support his taxi depot. Roman employs his girlfriend Mallorie at his taxi depot; although he is unaware, she is having an affair with Vlad Glebov. Niko kills Dardan Petrela and beats up Kalem Vulaj and Bledar Morina, three Albanians, when they attempt to collect their money. When Roman finds out about Mallorie's affair with Vlad, he is upset, and Niko confronts and kills Vlad for him. Vlad's death causes Roman to become paranoid because he fears retaliation from the Russian mob. His fears proved to be well founded. He and Niko are later kidnapped on orders from Mikhail Faustin. Faustin shoots Roman in the stomach because he was screaming, but Roman survives. After Niko kills Faustin for Dimitri Rascalov, Rascalov and Ray Bulgarin betray Niko, burning down his apartment in Hove Beach and Roman's taxi depot. Roman moves into Mallorie's apartment in Bohan, where he also opens another taxi depot with the insurance money he receives from the fire in the first one.
Roman later has a "cold streak" in his poker games, leading the Russians to hire Johnny Klebitz with the help of Malc to kidnap him, taking him to a warehouse in the Industrial district of Bohan. The Russians hope that they can kill Niko when he tries to rescue Roman. Niko would later rescue him. After his cousin rescues Roman, he continues betting. This time he wins a lot of money, changing his taxis from Esperantos to Cavalcades and buying a penthouse in Algonquin, telling Niko they are finally going to live the dream.
He goes to Maisonette 9 with Brucie Kibbutz and is seen in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
End of the storyline
Towards the end of the storyline in GTA IV, Niko has to decide if he will kill Dimitri in revenge for his betrayal or work with him again in a heroin deal for Jimmy Pegorino. Roman urges Niko to forget revenge and work with Dimitri, considering the large amount of money he could receive for his work. He tells Niko he would be able to afford a great honeymoon with Mallorie and that maybe him and Niko could take a private jet to Vice City.
If the player strikes a deal, Dimitri will betray Niko again during the mission and afterwards, will send an assassin to kill Niko at Roman's and Mallorie's wedding. Niko will fight the assassin, but in the struggle, Roman is inadvertently shot and killed. After Niko kills Dimitri before the Statue of Happiness with the help of Little Jacob, Mallorie will reveal that she is pregnant with Roman's son. After this Niko goes into deep depression and when speaking to Mallorie.
If Niko decides to get revenge on Dimitri, Jimmy Pegorino will be furious about his business being ruined. During Roman's and Mallorie's wedding, Pegorino will attempt a drive-by shooting, killing Kate McReary. After Niko kills Pegorino, Roman will tell him that Mallorie is pregnant, and that if it's a girl, her name will be Kate.

GSA Awards $26M Navy Supercomputer Contract
March 29, 2001
Contact: Bill Bearden, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC - Logicon Inc. will install and support a groundbreaking supercomputer through a task order recently awarded by the General Services Administration's Federal Technology Service, Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM), under the Millennia contract and on behalf of the Naval Research Laboratory.
The task order was competed among the 11 GSA FTS Millennia contract holders. It is a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract vehicle. Over a 10-year period, the total projected ceiling value could exceed $25.9 million and will include maintenance, dedicated technical support, and two anticipated technology refreshment options intended to keep NRL on the cutting edge over the 10 years.
"FEDSIM's knowledge and negotiation skills led to significantly reduced cost, yet acquired a better system with more technical and maintenance support than originally proposed," said Bob Suda, Assistant Commissioner for the GSA FTS Office of Information Technology Solutions. Comparison of the original proposal to the awarded level of effort represents savings of $1.2 million.
Under the terms of the task order, a Cray all-CMOS MTA-2 multi-threaded supercomputer will allow the science and technology research community and the Department of Defense High Performance Computing Modernization Program to continue innovative exploration and evaluation of multi-processor technology. These efforts are geared toward solving significant military-related problems, which relate to computer and information science.

Rush Brought to Tears as Right Rallies 'Round Him
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
A day after Media Matters for America launched a television ad campaign spotlighting radio host Rush Limbaugh's statements comparing the torture of Iraqi prisoners to a college fraternity prank and people "having a good time," Limbaugh opened his May 14 broadcast by directing listeners to National Review Washington editor Kate O'Beirne's National Review Online column, which defended Limbaugh against the ad. Limbaugh told listeners that O'Beirne e-mailed him her column the night before and urged "every journalist in America" to read it. Limbaugh was moved by the column and shared his response to O'Beirne with listeners: "I wrote her back -- I said if I could include teardrops in email, I would do it, but I can't." He also posted a link to O'Beirne's column as the lead item on his website.
In her column, O'Beirne wrote, "I had resolved to ignore Media Matters" but explained that she had changed her mind, deciding instead "to take the bait this once because it presents a classic example of [Media Matters President and CEO David] Brock's m.o. in his latest reincarnation." O'Beirne charged Media Matters for America with "manufactured outrage" and echoed Limbaugh's own defense, that Media Matters for America took his remarks out of context, since "before he made the crack about Yale's secret society ... he had repeatedly condemned the MP's behavior."
O'Beirne went on to praise Limbaugh's "unerring sense of the sentiments of America's non-elites" and imputed to Media Matters for America the following motivation for publicizing Limbaugh's remarks: "He's dangerous because he convincingly explains what the Left is up to." O'Beirne ended the piece with a tribute to Limbaugh:
Rush is one of those rare acquaintances who can be defended against an assault challenging his character without ever knowing the "facts." We trust his good judgment, his unerring decency, and his fierce loyalty to the country he loves and to the courageous young Americans who defend her.
David Thibault, managing editor of The Cybercast News Service, the conservative news website founded by L. Brent Bozell III, Founder and President of the Media Research Center, also published an account of the Media Matters for America ad campaign on May 14, mistakenly referring to it as a "radio ad campaign" and linking it to pending legal action against Limbaugh in Palm Beach County, Florida over allegations concerning Limbaugh's prescription drug use. The piece explained that according to Mark Levin, director of the conservative advocacy group Landmark Legal Foundation, "the separate media and legal challenges to Limbaugh are part of a longstanding strategy employed by the political left."
On May 11, Steve Malzberg, radio talk show host and columnist for the right-wing website NewsMax.com defended Limbaugh and assailed his critics during a segment devoted to discussing Limbaugh's remarks on MSNBC's Scarborough Country:
MALZBERG: If there were ever a successful liberal talk show, the equivalent of Rush Limbaugh, maybe you would learn from that if that person were worth misquoting. Right now, there's nobody worth misquoting the way you were misquoting and taking out of context what Rush said.
He made one remark on the first day the pictures were out there and all hell is breaking loose. ... You people want to tear him down so badly, but this is proof that you can't. You consider him so important that this has become the topic of your conversation. This has become your obsession.
Limbaugh's allies are echoing his complaint that Media Matters for America has taken his remarks out of context. Media Matters for America invites readers to view the full context of Limbaugh's remarks. The full transcripts of The Rush Limbaugh Show for May 3-11 are posted on our website.

LONG BEACH — City Attorney Robert Shannon quashed a request Tuesday by two councilmen to investigate accusations made by a Long Beach Harbor Commissioner, saying the inquiry cannot legally proceed.
Councilmen Al Austin and Steve Neal asked for the independent investigation into comments apparently made by Harbor Commissioner Doug Drummond accusing fellow commissioners Thomas Fields and Nick Sramek of "improper, illegal and unethical acts" during an Aug. 20 closed session regarding the relocation of the Port of Long Beach headquarters.
Plans for a new administration building have been a contentious issue ever since Mayor Bob Foster in 2010 vetoed a Harbor Department plan to build a new $300 million facility, which he deemed too expensive.
Fields detailed Drummond's alleged accusations in a letter sent the day after the closed session to Foster and Shannon that was obtained by the Press-Telegram. The letter asked Shannon to look into what Fields called "slanderous" accusations.
In rejecting the call for an inquiry, Shannon cited personnel laws, closed session rules and the council's legal inability to undertake an investigation into the conduct of a non-Civil Service employee.
Shannon also noted that an investigation - not subject to public discussion - has already been made into the comments.
"This whole incident is confidential, the investigation is confidential, and I am limited as to what I can tell you," said Shannon.
Mayor Bob Foster, who had appointed Fields and Drummond to the Harbor Commission, said heated disagreements sometimes occur in closed sessions.
The difference, he added, is that the dust-up in question was leaked to the media.
"Quite frankly, people are not acting like adults here on any side, and it needs to stop," Foster said.
Drummond has told the Press-Telegram that he apologized to Fields for his comments, and Foster told the council on Tuesday that the men have shaken hands - something confirmed by Shannon.
"I will not say whether they are friendly," Shannon said.
Austin said he remains "deeply disturbed" by the incident and that there has been a lack of transparency on the matter for the public.
"There needs to be some closure on this so we can move forward," he said.
Council members voted 8-1 to receive and file the investigation request, with Councilman Dee Andrews dissenting.
Payday loan moratorium
Also Tuesday, the council passed a request to direct Shannon to prepare a one-year moratorium on so-called payday lending, car title lending and short-term consumer finance lending businesses.
The resolution, proposed by Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske, was amended to add an exception for three current applicants. The item passed 8-1, with Schipske voting no.
Vice Mayor Robert Garcia, a co-sponsor of the ban, noted the proliferation of payday lenders at places such as Anaheim Street and Pine Avenue in his own district.
"I could probably walk to seven or eight check cashing locations within two blocks," said Garcia.
"There is a massive overconcentration of some of these businesses in many areas of the city."
Schipske and some members of the public criticized the amendment made to the proposal because it exempted an application from a consumer finance lender on Ximeno Avenue near the Traffic Circle that in part prompted the moratorium request.
Councilman Patrick O'Donnell, who represents the area, argued for the reprieve because denying a business that had made an application that was accepted by the city would set a "poor example" to the business community.
"These were legal when they applied," O'Donnell said.
Also left out of the moratorium were applicants in the 6 th and 8 th council districts.
According to the Center for Responsible Lending, the payday lending industry has established more than 22,000 locations nationwide, lending an estimated $27 billion annually. A typical two-week loan that is issued has an annual interest rate of 391 to 521 percent.
Seventeen states and the District of Columbia have passed double-digit interest rate caps on payday loans.
Schipske's resolution was also co-sponsored by Austin and Neal.

Belmont, N.C. - Ashlie Morrison recorded a career high 19 kills and Erin Rollins contributed 10 of her own as the Tornados snapped an eight match skid as Brevard topped host Belmont Abbey College on Wednesday evening, 25-20, 22-25, 25-21 and 25-17.
Morrison's 19 kills were a season high for the Tornados (4-8), as the senior from Denver, Colo. led Brevard to a 19.0 percent hitting percentage on the evening. Rollins also achieved double-digit kills for the first time in her collegiate career, while Bethany Stevenson added 39 set assists. Stevenson also led the way for Brevard with a team high four service aces, while Lindsey Rogers and Kortney Conner led the defensive efforts with 22 and 10 digs respectively.
Lydia Schellenberg led the Crusaders (8-7) with a double-double with 12 kills and 13 digs and Stefanie Holler added nine kills, while Molly Gwaltney and Kay Schellenberg each were in double figures in set assists. Angela Jubb also recorded 13 digs for Belmont Abbey, while Remick Tiller also broke into double figures with 10 digs in the match.
Jamie Atkinson broke open a deadlocked first set tied at 11 apiece, leading the Tornados to eight consecutive points as the Tornados went up 19-11 in the opening set. Belmont Abbey brought the set back to within four points on kills by Tiller and Lydia Schellenberg at 22-18, but the Tornados were able to close it out on back-to-back Morrison kills to give the Tornados the 25-20 win.
Belmont Abbey opened up the second set with an 8-1 run on Heather Wagner's serve, but the Tornados rallied back, bringing the set to within two points at 19-17 after a Crusaders' attack error, but it was not enough as Lydia Schellenberg recorded the final point of the 25-22 victory to even the match at 1-1.
Three Stevenson service aces paved the way to a 9-0 BC advantage and though Belmont Abbey battled back to within three points at 24-21, Rollins gave the Tornados the set victory with the final kill.
In the final set, the Tornados used a 7-1 run sparked by two service aces by Conner to go up 15-9 and kills by Taryn Gmitroski, Rollins, Jordei Osby and Morrison led the Tornados to the 25-17 victory, closing out the match.
The Tornados are back in South Atlantic Conference action as they return home to Boshamer Gymnasium on Friday, September 30th, as they host Lincoln Memorial University. First serve between the Tornados and the Railsplitters is set for 6:30 p.m.

Adnan Oktar Says...
A9 TV, September 1st,2012
Adnan Oktar: Hospital rooms are very small. The government should do something about them, they should not keep the patients in small rooms. How could you keep a patient in a small room? PSYCHOLOGIC RELIEF IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE WELFARE OF THE PATIENTS. Those rooms look like coffins. A bed like a coffin, a room like a coffin. The rooms must be very spacious, enough room for the patient's family, friends, enough room for tables, chairs, so that he can have guests. ALSO OUTSIDE THE WINDOW, THERE HAS TO BE A VERY GOOD VIEW, THE WINDOWS SHOULD LOOK OUT ON A BEAUTIFUL VIEW. BUT MANY HOSPITALS ARE NOW BUILT VERY CLOSE TO OTHER BUILDINGS, ALMOST TOUCHING EACH OTHER. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NATIONALIZE THE BUILDINGS AROUND THE HOSPITALS, THERE SHOULD BE BIG SPACES WITH POOLS, AND EVERYTHING. THE ROOMS SHOULD BE VERY SPACIOUS. A room should be at least 30 square meters. The patients should be able to welcome their beloved ones in there and he has to be able to get up and walk freely in the room. They should have big, tall windows . These small rooms, they are incredibly small, with bad lighting, low ceilings, small beds. The patients can barely move in the bed. May Allah forbid, even a healthy person could get sick under those conditions. A healthy man wouldn't be able to handle that. May Allah forbid, and then they hook up oxygen, making the situation even worse for the patient's welfare in such bad conditions. At least, a beautiful spacious room would help, he would have his beloved ones, he would feel happy. And if you top that with a good view, you will help him psychologically. The ventilation must be very efficient, the space inside the room must be very clean. But currently in hospital rooms, the situation is so bad, for example they hadn't opened the windows for the past four years, then they open it and it's all dust everywhere, with spider webs and all. It shouldn't be that way. Currently, the view outside is of concrete or buses. It shouldn't be that way. It should be opened and look down upon a beautiful view. Every hospital should be supported in that way. I've heard that in emergency rooms, they don't charge now. May Allah be pleased with the government, that's very good. BUT THIS HAS TO BE DONE WITH THE HOSPITALS. THE OWNERS OF THE BUILDINGS AROUND THE HOSPITALS SHOULD BE MATURE ABOUT IT, AND ALLOW NATIONALIZATION. THERE MUST BE A CLEARANCE OF A MINIMUM OF 200 METERS BETWEEN THE HOSPITALS AND THE BUILDINGS AROUND THEM. LET THERE BE PINE TREES, CLEAN AIR. LET THERE BE ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE PATIENT'S BELOVED ONES TO COME AND SEE HIM, LET US PROVIDE PEACE. I'm sure they will welcome such an offer. We would be very glad if they could oblige in the short term or the long term but of course it would be better if they could do it soon. "
www.haberturk.com, October 6th, 2012
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan, during the opening of a hospital, gave the good news that surroundings of the hospitals will be improved.
"Yesterday in Esenler we started the urban transformation project. Medipol hospital is here, it is a modern project, but the vicinity is not good at all. The Mayor of Bağcılar and the Mayor of Istanbul are here. We should completely renew this place, starting first with the government buildings, bringing down and rebuilding them and then talk with the homeowners and include their buildings in the urban transformation project, as well. The place should change in a maximum of two years. 50% of it will be greenery, the rest will be buildings. But the buildings as they are now, they don't look so good. We have to get rid of them. My citizens deserve better."

ARLINGTON — Police have made an arrest in a Jan. 29 stabbing in Arlington.
The stabbing happened about 11 p.m. in the 20500 block of Olympic Place, near the Safeway store, said Arlington police Cmdr. Brian DeWitt.
A group of young men got into a fight, and one man was stabbed, DeWitt said.
The man's friends took him to the emergency room, and police were called.
Investigators tracked down a suspect in Everett on Friday.
The victim, 24, from the Arlington area, is recovering from his injuries, DeWitt said.
The suspect, 18, of Everett, was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of first-degree assault.
He posted bond late Sunday. Police continue to investigate.

Meanwhile, back at El Ranchito . . . .
Whew. Now that that's over . . . the second "that" being what's nebulously called "the holiday" and all its trimmings, we can now get back to serious discussions on FOSS.
Or not.
But first things first: SCALE 10X. The Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 10X will be held less than a month from now — on Jan. 20-22 — at the beautiful Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel. In its 10th year, this first-of-the-year show in North America is shaping up to be one for the ages, and since it's a month earlier this year — taking advantage of the Martin Luther King holiday weekend — I have the sneaking suspicion that it's being obscured on people's radar because of the holiday season and, heck, SCALE is not for another couple of months anyway, right? Well, not this year. Again, it's January 20-22 — mark your calendars — and get yourself over to the registration page to sign up. Also, the $109/night deal for SCALE attendees at the Hilton still stands as well.
Now, how could you resist a weekend in L.A. with nearly 2,000 of your best friends?
Meanwhile, if you — for whatever misguided reason — have your domain registered on GoDaddy, today is the day to move it from the SOPA-supporting, arguably sexist domain registrant to another one that is more along the lines of your policies (unless, of course, you support SOPA and juvenile ads. Which of course begs the question: What are you doing reading this blog?). Here's a story about it from ReadWriteWeb outlining that Namecheap will donate a dollar for every transfer to the Elecronic Frontier Foundation. Go to it, folks.
Also, the rumors are true: I'm now using CrunchBang GNU/Linux as my primary distro and I'm getting more involved with that community as well. While I might be saying, "So long, and thanks for all the fish" to Fedora, my experience with the Fedora Project has been overall both pleasant and an education, and I like to think that all the connections and friendships made during that time weather this transition. I bring that up because people are saying "goodbye" when they really don't have to — I'll be around in a FOSS sense and, regardless of what distro you might use, bear in mind we're still essentially working for the same goal, albeit taking different paths.

Cossacks and Clowns and Bears, Oh My!By Sophie Pinkham
One cold March day in St. Petersburg, I paid a visit to Vladimir Ignatievich Deriabkin, whose apartment does double duty as the Museum of Gramophones. Above me was a gramophone wearing red and white clown shoes, perched on a unicycle. A samovar walked a tightrope across the room, holding a stick to help it keep its balance. Train tracks stretched across the ceiling. Brightly painted, blooming wide, the gramophones were like a garden of enormous morning glories.
I was in St. Petersburg, the city once called the "Russian mirage," doing research on criminal songs of the Soviet period. My investigations had already taken me to such exotic places as the St. Petersburg Record Collector's Club, a set of subterranean rooms full of grizzled, toothless men in caps and striped sailor shirts. Escorted into the back room, where the head honchos were celebrating International Women's Day by drinking cognac from metal jiggers, I suspected that I was the first woman ever to enter the building. One man asked me to marry him, saying that he didn't want to live in New York but wanted to live as if he were in New York. This intriguing rhetorical turn was the central finding of that day's research; the men were too busy celebrating to answer my questions.
A helpful friend had told me that Vladimir Ignatievich was someone I absolutely had to meet before I left town, and I hoped that my interview with him would be more fruitful than my trip to the record club. Armed with my dictaphone, notebook, and tattered map, wearing my too-thin, too-short New York coat and my cracked, leaking New York boots, I tramped through the drifts of snow. (The St. Petersburg city administration is lax in clearing the streets—but they do better than Kiev, whose mayor was said to have proclaimed, "Let whoever put the snow down clean it up!") The Museum of Gramophones was clearly marked and above ground, just off a major thoroughfare, and from the moment I entered it was clear that there was no risk, as with some of my previous research subjects, that I would be invited to consume multiple liters of vodka in the course of my interview.

Walnut Crepes Filled with Caramelized Rhubarb
Reviews(0) See all Reviews
All the elements of this dessert can be prepared ahead, and once they are done, the final assembly goes quickly.
For The Crepes:
- 3/4 cup milk, plus 1 – 2 tablespoons more if needed
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup chopped, toasted California walnuts
- 2 tablespoons walnut oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For the Caramelized Rhubarb:
- 3 stalks rhubarb
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
For the Nocino Macerated Strawberries:
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 baskets (about 1 pound) strawberries, washed, stemmed and quartered
- 1/4 cup Nocino (walnut liqueur) or orange liqueur
For the Yogurt Cream:
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
For the Candied Walnuts:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup finely chopped California walnuts
For the Crepes:
- To make the batter, combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Pour into a small bowl then cover and refrigerate for at least two hours. (The batter will keep 2 – 3 days refrigerated; this amount makes 6 – 7 large crepes.)
- The batter should be about the consistency of heavy cream, so it spreads thinly and evenly in the hot pan. If it seems too thick after refrigerating, stir in an additional tablespoon or two of milk. If you are in doubt, try a small "test" crepe.
- Heat a 9-inch (bottom diameter) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. The pan is ready when drops of water sizzle on the surface and evaporate rapidly. Coat it lightly with cooking spray. Pour in a generous 1/4 cup batter and tilt the pan in all directions to coat the bottom evenly—don't worry if the shape isn't perfect, it won't matter when the crepe is folded. Cook about 1 minute, or until browned on the bottom. Nudge the crepe loose with a spatula, turn and cook the other side for about 30 seconds, then slide it out onto a large plate.
- Cook the remaining batter the same way, coating the pan with nonstick spray between each crepe, and stacking them one atop the other as they are done. If you are making them ahead, when thoroughly cool, cover and refrigerate.
For the Caramelized Rhubarb:
- Cut the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces.
- Combine the sugar and water in a small heavy-bottom saucepan or sauté pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil several minutes, swirling the pan occasionally, until the liquid begins to turn golden and caramelize. Add the rhubarb, swirl the pan to distribute the caramel, then turn the heat to low. (The caramel will stiffen, which is okay; it will liquefy again.) Cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture looks like jam, but slightly chunky. Cool, then transfer to a jar or small container.
For The Nocino Macerated Strawberries:
- Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil about 1 minute, swirling the pan gently, until the sugar dissolves and the liquid is clear. Pour into a large bowl and cool.
- Add the strawberries and Nocino to the bowl and stir to combine. Macerate for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Drain the macerating juices back into a small saucepan, and set the berries aside. Boil the juices over high heat until reduced by about half, then pour into a cup and reserve.
For the Yogurt Cream:
- Combine in a small bowl and stir until smooth
For The Candied Walnuts:
- Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and add the walnuts. Soak for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Coat a small baking pan with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper. Drain the walnuts and spread them in the prepared pan. Bake 20 – 25 minutes, stirring three or four times, until lightly toasted. The nuts will dry and crisp as they cool to room temperature.
To Assemble and Serve the Crepes:
- Microwave the Caramelized Rhubarb for a minute to warm it. Reheat each crepe by placing it in a skillet over medium-high heat for a few seconds. Have all other components at room temperature. Spread one half of each crepe evenly with about 3 tablespoons Caramelized Rhubarb.
- Fold the bare side over, then fold in half again, to make a wedge shape. Set on a dessert plate and top with a dollop of Yogurt Cream. Spoon the Nocino Macerated Strawberries around the plate, then sprinkle with Candied Walnuts. Drizzle the reduced macerating syrup over and around. Cut each crepe into quarters for triangle size portions.

In order to address the needs of faculty and graduate students whose research requires that they access and manipulate commercially available data sets and to better prepare its own personnel to serve new roles on campus, the University Library is soliciting applications from faculty and graduate students who need to purchase numeric or spatial data for their research. The University Library will make the data purchased or licensed as part of this program available for general use by the campus community. Award amounts will vary depending upon need and the availability of funding from other sources such as departmental, college, or other grant funds. However, the availability of outside funding is not conditional for receipt of funding from the Library.
Awards will be targeted toward meeting smaller needs (ca. $5,000 range). However, the amount available to be awarded for individual proposals will depend up on the total number and suitability of applications received.
Awards will be made on a competitive basis after the beginning of the academic year, with acquisitions being processed largely during the fall semester. Applications will be considered after the deadline as long as funds are available and the purchase can be completed by the end of the fiscal year.
Faculty and graduate students at the Urbana-Champaign campus whose research requires numeric (i.e., survey, observational) or spatial data.
Data requests can be for repackaged public data or for data collected by individual researchers that is subsequently made available for a fee. The library strongly prefers to acquire data that are accessible online rather than on DVD or other tangible storage media. For licensed data, this grant program will only support a license for one year. Other library funds may be available to continue the license after the first year but continued access cannot be guaranteed. Library funds will only be used to purchase data that can be made available to researchers across campus.
* A letter of no more than three pages in length or an online application that articulates the goals of the research project, the importance of the requested data to the research, and the uniqueness or unique functionality of the requested data compared to other sources of the same data (if applicable). For example, discuss the merits of acquiring commercially repackaged housing data relative to the value of the same data available from a free online source.
* Data that are accessible on the Internet.
* Applications that indicate a willingness and interest in engaging members of the ATLAS/University Library Data Services Committee in their research project
There are two ways to apply for this program:
1. Addressing the selection criteria above, write a letter describing both the data you are requesting and your research project. The letter should contain complete contact information for you and names, departmental affiliations and e-mails for other members of your research team, if applicable. E-mail the letter as an attachment to:
Library/ATLAS Data Services Committee
c/o Karen Hogenboom
2. Submit your application online Please contact Karen Hogenboom, email@example.com, if you have questions about this form.
Program Announcement: September 1, 2012
Application Deadline: October 15, 2012
Announcement of Awards: December 1, 2012
If the data have been purchased (rather than licensed), the grant recipients must return the data to the library when the project for which the data were purchased is complete. The library will make the data available as part of its collection.
Grant recipients will give a brownbag talk about how they are using the data for the University Library's Scholarly Commons, focusing on methodology and issues related to the data rather than on the results of their research.
Publications based on the data purchased with the grant must contain the following acknowledgment:
The author wishes to acknowledge the University Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which provided support for the completion of this research.

I don't know about you, but I can tell in about a minute how much someone I've just met knows about computers, networks, and security. It's in what they say, how they respond, and what they think about particular subjects. I bet most of you can do the same. And like me, I bet you've found these first impressions to be surprisingly accurate.
The same snap judgement occurs when I'm asked to perform a thorough security survey of a network or company. Although my professional checklists run to hundreds of items, I normally go through a handful when I first arrive on site, which gives me a fairly accurate indicator of the network's overall health.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Believe it or not, these 10 crazy IT security tricks actually work. | Learn how to greatly reduce the threat of malicious attacks with InfoWorld's Insider Threat Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
My average security review lasts from one to four weeks, depending on the scope and the details required. My reports are often 40 to 80 pages long. But the reality is that I can make a pretty accurate prediction of what that final report will look like by checking just 10 items:
1. Proactive security monitoring
Year after year, the Verizon Data Breach Report (PDF) consistently says that most malicious intrusions could have been noticed earlier or the damage minimized if the appropriate monitoring was put in place. Most of the places I review have hideous event log management. They may have events turned on and they may be generating logs all over the place, but they don't collect, review, or respond to what those logs report. A company with a solid, pervasive event log management system -- and a review process that leverages it -- is probably doing a lot of the other stuff right, too, if only because these systems tend to be last on the list of security measures.
2. Number of unneeded programs and services
I usually review two items under this category: all installed programs and services, as well as all programs automatically executed when the computer starts. Unnecessary programs and services means more attack space for intruders to exploit. When I find a bare minimum of programs and services installed, I know I'm in a place that values the "less is more" paradigm. It's also important to ask if the people in charge of particular computers if they understand the reason for each of the installed programs and services.
3. Patch management breadth and timeliness
Everyone patches, but do they do it well? That means that all installed programs and services have all critical patches installed -- not just the operating system, but also the browser add-ons, productivity software, and firmware. I can't tell you how many places think they have rock-solid patching only to discover that most common browser add-ins (such as Oracle Java, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Adobe Flash) aren't patched. Nor are the management tools -- pretty common on servers. Each server typically has the same server management software, but when I check the version, I find it hasn't been updated in years. That management software may contain multiple, publicly known holes that were patched years ago. Hackers love that.
4. Antimalware coverage and status
This one is self-explanatory: Do they have antivirus software installed? Is it up to date? Do they have solid antispam, antiphishing, anti-adware, and the myriad other tools needed to protect desktops and servers? How often are they updated? Within 24 hours is a minimum, but I often see servers with antimalware definitions that are two days old. Jeez.
