Does it show up if you type 'mount' in terminal?
If it is a secondary drive, it will be probably be called sdb1 (it may be called hdb1)
You could try manually mounting the drive as follows:
mkdir /mnt/temp
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/temp
cd /mnt/temp
and the contents should be there as they will be if you navigate to /root/mnt/temp in the graphical file manager.
when you have finished (and are not in /mnt/temp) you can unmount it with:
umount /dev/sdb1
Hope that helps.

Kentucky Selected to Fourth Straight NCAA Tournament
May 13, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. - For an unprecedented fourth consecutive season the Kentucky softball team has been selected as an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament it was announced on Sunday night. Kentucky will head to the Louisville, Ky., Regional and matchup with Michigan in the opening game of the tournament.
"My first thought is that I'm excited we are in the tournament," UK coach Rachel Lawson said. "We have an opportunity to win and go on. Any chance that you have to extend your season is a good day.
"Louisville is somebody who we are familiar with which is a good thing, but because it is so close to us we are hoping for a good fan base," Lawson said. "We always have a good turnout and the Big Blue Nation is great, and I'm hoping that plays into our favor."
The Wildcats are among the Louisville Regional which features the host Cardinals who obtained the No. 15 overall seed in the tournament. Michigan and Valparaiso join the four-team bracket.
Every game from Louisville will be broadcast on the ESPN family of networks, marking the second consecutive season the Wildcats have been selected for a nationally televised broadcast in the opening rounds of the tournament.
The Wildcats are one of nine Southeastern Conference teams to earn a bid into the tournament matching a conference record which was set in 2009, coincidentally the first time the Wildcats earned a bid.
Kentucky owns a 28-27 overall record and has played both Louisville and Michigan this season. The Cardinals claimed both meetings in the annual home-and-home series between the instate rivals. UK and the Wolverines met during the second weekend of play with the then ranked No. 11 Wolverines earning a 3-0 win. The matchup with Michigan before a nationally televised audience is a rematch between the Regional from a season ago when the Wildcats prevailed en route to earning a spot in the Super Regionals for the first time in school history.
Kentucky and Valparaiso have met twice in school history with both meetings coming during UK's inaugural season of softball in 1997 with both squads earning one win.
Louisville is the national No. 15 seed with a tournament-best 50-3 record. Kristin Austin headlines the offensive effort with a blistering .401 clip and 19 extra base hits including eight triples. Tori Collins paces a three-player pitching rotation that has all yielded just one loss each. Collins is 23-1 with a squad-best 1.25 ERA.
Michigan (39-15) claimed its fifth consecutive Big 10 title to earn the conference's automatic bid into the tournament. Amanda Chidester leads the bats with a .354 average and nine homers. Haylie Wagner is the ace of the staff with a 29-5 overall record and a 1.55 ERA.
Valparaiso gained entry by way of capturing the Horizon League and it marks the Crusaders' first-ever bid into the NCAA Tournament in school history. The Crusaders own a 42-17 overall record and are led by a .428 batting average and 14 home runs from Jordan Rutkowski. In the circle, Alex Lagesse has charted a 1.98 ERA to couple with a 22-9 record on the year.
The regional is a double-elimination format, with the winner advancing to a Super Regional against the winner of the Tuscaloosa Regional, which includes No. 2 seed Alabama, Georgia Tech, Tennessee-Martin and South Alabama. The Super Regional, slated for May 24-27, is a best two-of-three format with the winner advancing to the eight-team Women's College World Series, scheduled for May 31-June 6 in Oklahoma City, Okla.

Tritan makes the eddy clear, vibrant, durable, dishwasher safe and 100% BPA-Free. CamelBak Eddy Water Bottle Plum has a redesigned cap and bite valve provide faster flow and enhanced durability. No tipping required (though possible: just remove the straw). CamelBak Eddy Water Bottle Plum has a new, sleek shape fits in the hand and most cup holders. CamelBak Eddy Water Bottle Plum is dishwasher safe: All parts are top-rack dishwasher safe. CamelBak Eddy Water Bottle Plum is durable and spill-proof. CamelBak Eddy Water Bottle Plum is easy to carry: Integrated loop handle makes it easy to clip a carabiner or carry with the crook of a finger. CamelBak Eddy Water Bottle Plum has a wide-mouth opening is easy to fill with ice and water and a breeze to clean. The new CamelBak Big Bite Valve is compatible with CamelBak eddy and CamelBak Groove bottles Cleaning the Eddy The bottle, bite valve, straw and lid can be cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water. Pull off the bite valve and straw from the cap. If you like to use a bottle brush, we don't recommend forcing a brush through the Bite Valve slit. If you have the brush kit, run the small brush through the straw. For a deeper cleaning, add a drop of mild soap or tablespoon of bleach to a clean glass jar filled with water. Drop the bite valve, straw and cap into the solution, and tightly close the jar's lid. Shake the mixture around for 30 seconds, and then let the parts soak for about 15 minutes. Rinse and shake dry. To re-assemble the lid:Flip the stem collar (the component the bite valve attached to originally) to the open position. Orient the bite valve so the finger tab points towards the front of the cap. Push the bite valve firmly onto the stem collar.Press the straw back into place on the bottom of the lid. Ensure the straw covers the notches completely. What is BPA?Bisphenol-A is an ingredient used to make polycarbonate. In recent years, there has been increasing consumer demand for a bottle that is not made with Bisphenol-A (BPA), and CamelBak is proud to offer BPA-free bottles with the same great properties customers have come to expect from polycarbonate: vibrant color, clarity, durability, dishwasher-safe, and with no residual taste. The entire CamelBak bottle line is now available in BPA-Free materials. Can I use with carbonated beverages?You can use any beverage in the CamelBak eddy, however we do not recommend the use of carbonated beverages with the straw configuration because pressure can force liquid out through the straw. To use with carbonated beverages, we recommend that you remove the straw and drink via "tip and sip." How do I clean the CamelBak eddy with bite valve?First pull off the bite valve and the straw from the cap. You can clean your bottle by hand or in the top rack of the dishwasher. For cleaning by hand, you can soak all parts in warm soapy water. First-time use: What's the clear thing on top of the cap for? Do I remove it or cut it to drink?The clear thing is the CamelBak Big Bite Valve. This patented feature provides easy drinking and spill-proof safety. Do NOT remove or cut this piece to drink. Simply bite it slightly and sip as you would out of a straw. Can/How do I freeze the CamelBak eddy with bite valve?You can freeze the bottle but make sure: The bottle is not completely full when you do this (we recommend only 3/4 full to allow for expansion of the water as it freezes to ice). The bottle is right side up CamelBak also recommends that the bite valve stem NOT be flipped up or down if there is any frozen water in the tube. Wait until thawed. Can I use the CamelBak eddy in high-altitude/ low-pressure environments (i.e. airplanes, mountain altitudes, etc)?Yes, but with special care because pressure can force liquid out through the straw. Keep the bottle right side up with the bite valve in the closed position. Remove the straw for additional protection. Expect a bit of "spurt" during the first sip. You may also twist the cap open to release any pressure and then close before your first sip. Can I put hot liquids in it?We do not recommend using with hot drinks because the experience will be similar to drinking hot liquid through a straw. What happens if I put sports drinks/juice in the CamelBak eddy?Use of any of these drinks in the bottle is fine, but thorough cleaning after each use is recommended. What max temperature (freezing/boiling water) can the CamelBak eddy withstand? The CamelBak eddy can withstand being filled with boiling water or stored in below freezing temperatures. We do not recommend boiling the bottle itself. Is the CamelBak eddy microwave safe?Feel free to use the CamelBak eddy to warm up liquids (ie. up to a minute), but we don't recommend cooking your dinner in it. Do NOT microwave with the cap in place as it contains metal screws that are not microwave safe. Does the CamelBak eddy work with back country purifier filters/microfilters?The CamelBak eddy is compatible with filters that adapt to a 63 mm screw top opening (in other words, it's compatible with most filters on the market). Does it hold residual taste?No, there is no residual taste in the bottle materials, and it's also stain-resistant. Some sports drinks and other flavored beverages can leave behind residue of flavor oils that could require extra cleaning. What happens if I take the straw off?Removal of the straw allows a "tip and sip" mode of drinking. What is your BPA-free eddy made from?The CamelBak eddy line is made from a copolyester polymer called Tritan, made by Eastman. It offers the same great qualities that we have come to expect from polycarbonate bottles and is 100% BPA-Free. The BPA-Free CamelBak eddy is now shipping to retail stores. Recycling and Repurposing CamelBak Products When it is time to replace your CamelBak product, we recommend that you disassemble the product as fully as possible. Place any plastic components into your curbside recycling. Then, donate any material components (e.g., packs) to Goodwill or other re-use organizations, as they're experts in re-purposing items to keep them out of a landfill. CamelBak Products, LLC is an outdoors equipment company based in Petaluma, California, known primarily for its hydration products, such as hydration packs and water bottles. CamelBak is also a supplier of hydration packs, protective gear, and other products to the U.S. military and law enforcement agencies around the world. The CamelBak name comes from a play on the myth that a camel stores water in its hump. In reality, those humps store fat. Small Steps to Environmental LeapsCamelBak thinks the best way to reduce waste is to create products that last. So their products are meant to be used over and over and over again- standing up to rigorous use before they are eventually recycled or repurposed. But thye also think it's important to make small choices that can make a big difference. We've carefully thought about many of the day-to-day "housekeeping" tasks at CamelBak to make sure they are walking the proverbial walk. After all, their company's long-term vision is to eliminate bottled water and the environmental waste it generates. Here are some small steps they've taken about which we feel pretty good: Their Petaluma, California headquarters is built to LEED-certification standards They've eliminated disposable bottled water at our offices. Perhaps this is not so surprising... Their San Diego, California distribution center uses rechargeable, electric equipment to lower CO2 emissions and provide a healthier workplace for their employees The dedicated business operations team based in Asia reduces their intercontinental travel Their sourcing team works hard to find and develop materials that are more sustainable and biodegradable Their bottles are all dishwasher safe. The dishwasher uses half the energy, one-sixth of the water and less soap vs. hand-washing CamelBak has a recycling program for paper, plastics and aluminum- and we set our printers to print on both sides of a page whenever possible CamelBak's headquarters office is accessible via public transit, and is bike commute-friendly with bike storage facilities, showers and lockers About CamelBak If you have found yourself wondering- with the unlimited amount of time you have reclaimed by texting instead of emailing- what CamelBak is really like, read through their mission statement and values. An Idea Born From the Most Basic Human Needs - ThirstIt's 1988.Bicycle enthusiast, Michael Eidson, is competing in the "Hotter'N Hell 100." And that's exactly what it is: a 100-mile road race in the grueling summer heat of Wichita Falls, Texas. Water is vital to surviving the race, and there are few places to refill a water bottle. Eidson, an emergency medical technician by trade, decides to fill an IV bag with water and slip it into a white tube sock. Yes, a tube sock. Then he stuffs the contraption into the back of his bike jersey, throws the thin hose over his shoulder and clamps it with a clothespin. Hands-free hydration is born. And Eidson is able to drink as he pedals...while the other racers laugh and fiddle with their water bottles. Operation Hydration - The Road to SurvuvalJeff Wemmer, a competitive cyclist who fell hard for CamelBak, was so impressed by the product that he started bringing packs to races to sell them. Talk about a fan. CamelBak eventually hired him, and in 1993, Jeff embarked on a road trip to keep the start-up running during very tough times. Company lore has it that Jeff visited bike shops from Florida to California, pitching our renegade product from the back of his motorcycle. Each order Jeff faxed back to the factory literally breathed another day of life back into CamelBak. The Rest is HistoryIt took courage, conviction and imagination to evolve from an IV bag in a tube sock sold by a motorcycle-driven sales force of one. Our core values remain the same and drive everything we do - from inventing the hydration category to becoming the world's leading maker of hydration solutions. Oh yeah...about those bikers who laughed at Eidson? Well, chances are they've got a CamelBak strapped to their back or in their bike cage these days. Go figure... Social Responsibility"We give a ___." is one of CamelBak's core company values. (They only have four, and each means something important to them.) This one stems from their belief that doing the right thing isn't just good business sense, but common sense. They pay close attention not only to what they make- but how they make it, for whom they make it and the way it impacts people's lives and the environment. CamelBak's Partnerships Matter When choosing suppliers, CamelBak seeks out long-term business partners who are: ISO Certified Leaders in advanced manufacturing techniques Specialized and highly technical- not commodity suppliers Willing to explore and learn with them to discover cost-effective solutions to unique challenges Located as close to the point of final destination as possible, lowering financial and environmental transit costs Taking meaningful steps to reduce their carbon footprint, including reducing water waste, saving energy, eliminating toxic emissions and putting an end to the use of harmful chemicals Just as they're committed to their own employees, they also care about the health and well-being of their partners' employees. Their partners must pay a living wage, provide safe working conditions and adhere to all local employment laws. To that end, they post a Code of Conduct in their partners' facilities. The Code includes contact information so that employees can anonymously report rights violations. Additionally, CamelBak conducts regular third party compliance audits. Whenever possible, they work with businesses that are providing employment opportunities to historically under-represented groups, including women-owned, veteran-owned and socially and economically disadvantaged organizations. Is it Good Enough for You?When making their products, they seek out materials that exceed the performance and safety expectations of our diverse users. They test- and retest- at various stages of the manufacturing process to ensure the product (and the materials it's made from) works the way it should in worst case conditions like bone-chilling cold, desert-hot heat, and prolonged exposure to the elements. And of course, it should go without saying that their products meet or exceed FDA and EU regulations.

CamelBak Frequently Asked Questions: What is your BPA-free Better Bottle made from?The CamelBak Better Bottle line is made from a new copolyester polymer called Tritan, made by Eastman. It offers the same great qualities that they have come to expect from polycarbonate bottles and is 100% BPA-Free. The BPA-Free CamelBak Better Bottle is now available. The Better Bottle Caps are made of Polypropylene - for toughness and sealing performance. The Big Bite Valve is made of Medical-Grade Silicone - for long life and taste-free performance Is polycarbonate safe?CamelBak has monitored scientific research concerning the safety of products that include BPA. Based on a broad range of scientific findings, they firmly believe in the safety of our products. They are not recalling our polycarbonate bottles. While there is not consensus on the issues surrounding BPA, recent comprehensive reviews of polycarbonate and BPA have concluded that estimated daily exposure to BPA poses no known safety risk. However, we intend to closely monitor recent reports from The National Toxicology and Health Canada. The findings from tests by the following organizations indicate that BPA exposure does not pose a safety risk: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) The Harvard Center for Risk Analysis The American Council on Science & Safety Many regulatory bodies worldwide, including the European Commission Scientific Committee on Food, the United Kingdom Food Standards Agency, and the Japan Ministry for Health, Labor, & Welfare What is BPA?Bisphenol-A is an ingredient used to make polycarbonate. In recent months, there has been increasing consumer demand for a bottle that is not made with Bisphenol-A (BPA), and CamelBak is proud to offer BPA-free bottles with the same great properties customers have come to expect from polycarbonate: vibrant color, clarity, durability, dishwasher-safe, and with no residual taste. The entire CamelBak bottle line is now available in BPA-Free materials in North America. Why did you change from polycarbonate to this new Tritan material?Customers have asked for a BPA-free alternative to polycarbonate. CamelBak has a long history of developing innovative products by listening to our customers and they have been committed to finding a BPA-free alternative to polycarbonate (PC). After exclusive research and material trials, CamelBak was the first to develop and deliver Tritan to market. Does this new BPA-free Better Bottle leach any chemicals? What type of safety testing has been done on the new Bottle?After rigorous 3rd party testing of the BPA-free Better Bottle, no harmful chemicals have been detected to come in contact with, or leach into food/beverage surfaces. A FCN (Food Contact Substance Notification) notice #729 declared that Tritan is safe and meets all EPA and FDA guidelines for material that is to come in repeated contact with food. In addition, we have verified that all materials used in the bottle including Tritan meet the stringent guidelines set by California Proposition 65. Extraction tests were completed by independent 3rd party researchers, verifying that the new material meets all requirements as set forth by organizations such as: FDA food safety standards European Community food safety standards Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare California Prop 65 How do I know if my bottle is BPA-Free?The BPA-Free logo will be printed on the side of the CamelBak Better Bottle if it is a BPA-Free version. In the store, the BPA-Free bottles will display a large BPA-Free sticker.

Thread: Flacco's Second Game
Flacco's Second Game
Very curious to see how Joe shapes up this week.
Being a rookie, he's going to have some bad games. That's almost guaranteed.
So far I've been very impressed. Given the amount of NFL experience he's doing an amazing job: Running the no-huddle, limiting turnovers, calling good audibles at the line, positioning players on offense, getting rid of the ball quickly, throwing it away when needed, etc.
I also like the fact that he can throw it on a line, or with touch, with accuracy. He makes good adjustments in the pocket and seems able to still make a smart play when the defense doesn't unfold as expected.
If he was a 3rd year QB he'd be doing an OK job. Given the fact that he was playing against the likes of Towson State last year he's been amazing.
I know it's REALLY early to form an opinion of this kid yet but I have been very impressed but what he's shown.
So-how do you think he'll make out against the Browns?
Re: Flacco's Second Game
Yeah.. Getting a bit nervous. Especially seeing what happened to Ryan and his second game.
Our RB's really need to step it up for a second straight game, and we need to use Demetrius Williams to stretch out that field.
If DW is in full stride, their secondary is not quick enough to keep up with him.
Re: Flacco's Second Game
It comes down to 1) Protection 1A) His first read getting open 2) Success on 1st down running the ball (control Shaun Rogers) 3) The Defense controlling the game, not letting us get behind by an more than 7 throughout.
Re: Flacco's Second Game
The Qb is more dependant on other players for him to be succesful than any other guy out there. The defense is not easy to read if they do not have to stack the box to stop the run or blitz to create pressure.
The WRs have to hold on to the ball. Flacco was 2 drops away from the best game a rookie QB may have ever played. It does not mean he is the next Dan Marino, but it does mean he may be.
I agree with the breakdown of his game. I saw not only vet Qb type reads and poise, but he put the ball on the money with touch or zip as needed like savvy pro.
The pass that blew me away, aside from the flick of the wrist pass that went like 80 yards, was the touch pass to the FB in the flat that was just out of reach for the LB and dropped into McClain's hands right over his shoulder in stride.
So far Joe not only looks better than Boller, he looks way better than Carson Palmer, but like I said, that has a lot more to do with his circumstance and right now the Ravens appear to be a very talented well coached and balanced team that has a physical edge that few teams can match up with.
Re: Flacco's Second Game
There's just something about Flacco that makes me think that he'll be one of the great ones. He has all the tools, and the brains to go along with it. He's calm, cool, and collected out there and doesn't let the speed of the game affect him. He just plays his game and keeps his mind on the task at hand.
If nothing else the law of averages would dictate that the Ravens are well overdue for a real, competent QB. I just have a feeling about this kid that makes me think he's going to be leading this team for a long time to come.
Re: Flacco's Second Game
It will certainly be interesting to see how Flacco plays against Cleveland. Entering Week 2, I expected him to struggle on the road, considering Houston would have game film on which to build a plan to rattle the rookie. However, with the cancellation, Flacco gained an extra day or two to prepare for Cleveland while the Browns did not gain any additional film on Flacco.
Being at home and playing a weaker defense, I expect Flacco to play another solid game. It's a bit premature to expect 250-300 yards and 3 touchdowns, but I would not be surprised to see steady improvement in the range of 175 yards and a touchdown.
The key will be providing solid protection and a sound running game. If the Ravens are able to do this, Flacco will continue to play with confidence and lead the offense effectively.

Video: Artison Flat-panel Speakers
Steve Kindig has been an electronics enthusiast for over 30 years. He has written extensively about home and car A/V gear for Crutchfield since 1985. Steve is also a volunteer DJ at community radio station WTJU, where he is a regular host of the American folk show "Atlantic Weekly," as well as the world music program "Radio Tropicale."
More from Steve Kindig
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Artison's Masterpiece, Portrait, and Sketch speakers attach to LCD and plasma HDTVs, and include customized grilles for a seamless look.
Video Transcript
Amanda: Hi. I'm Amanda.
Steve: And I'm Steve and we're here in the Crutchfield studio to tell you about Artison speakers. And we're going to be focusing on their speakers for flat-panel TVs. There are three models: there's the Sketch, the Portrait, and these are their top of the line, the Masterpiece.
Amanda: Yep. Now all of these speakers use some really smart, innovative technology to solve a pretty common flat-panel TV problem. You might have noticed if you've got a plasma or an LCD at home that the little tiny speakers built into the TV can't keep up with the picture. It's a kind of flat, kind of tinny sound.
Steve: Mine is. And TV makers really just focus on the picture, and there isn't room in these skinny cabinets for decent sounding speakers.
Amanda: No, that's exactly true. And at the same time you might not want sort of bigger, bulkier speakers with your really beautiful, sleek flat-panel TV. And that's where Artison comes in. They've actually designed these really slimline speakers that attach right to the side of your flat-panel TV. And they give you some really impressive, actually audiophile-quality sound. It's really good. And they're not like some of the other sound solutions you might have seen before like sound bars, you know, the one speaker that mounts to the bottom of the TV. Sound bars can give you stereo sound or maybe simulated surround sound. But these Artison speakers can actually give you dedicated left, center, and right channel information so you can use them as part of a discreet 5.1-channel home theater system, and that means you're going to get some really detailed surround sound.
Steve: These speakers sound terrific. If you subscribe to any audio/video magazines, you've probably run across some really positive reviews for these Artison speakers.
Amanda: Definitely. In fact even some really picky audiophiles are using these speakers as their main speakers for music, which really says a lot about how good they sound.
Steve: Well, there's a lot of innovative technology inside. They were designed by a guy named Cary Christie, and in case you don't know who he is, he's been designing innovative speakers for decades, and was actually one of the co-founders of Infinity speakers back in 1970.
Amanda: Yep. So now let's take a look at exactly how these speakers sound as good as they do. First of all, there's something called a "stage" tweeter. It's a side-firing tweeter that's built in over here on the outside of the cabinet. Now its job is to broaden the sound stage. That means that instead of the sound sounding like it comes, you know, just out of here and no further, the tweeter actually extends that out to the side so it sounds wider, just more enveloping. It's really cool.
Steve: Another difference is both the left and the right speakers actually reproduce the center channel sound as well, and that's called the DualMono center. And you can see this extra set of drivers over here actually reproduces just the center channel sound, and there's a separate dedicated set of jacks in the back.
Amanda: And that's actually a pretty cool design because the sound then sounds like it comes just right out of the screen rather that just above or just below, like you get with normal center channel speaker placement.
Steve: This sounds a lot more realistic. So now let's take a look at how these three Artison models are different.
Amanda: Yep. Now starting with the Masterpiece, as Steve said, it's their top of the line model. So it's going have sort of the best build quality and some of the coolest features. For example you get this 5-1/4 inch Kevlar woofer. Now Kevlar is a very light but also very strong material, and that makes it ideal, really, for woofers. You get very rich smooth lows. Now the woofer is also designed for really wide even dispersion which is good for, you know, listening to movies and imaging, things like that. Now something else you get with the Masterpiece speakers are adjustable tweeters. That's really cool because you can kind of tweak the sound based on where you're sitting, how wide your TV is — just really dial it in.
Steve: That's a really key feature. Now when you go to the Portrait, it has a 4-1/2 inch Kevlar woofer and the tweeters are not adjustable.
Amanda: Yep. And finally the entry-level model, the Sketch, also gives you a 4-1/2 inch woofer, although it's made of polypropylene instead of Kevlar. Now, we've actually saved one the very coolest things about these speakers for last. When you're ordering a pair of Artison speakers, you tell us what kind of TV you have — the specific model — and then you get grilles that are custom-matched for your TV. Now, we can do that because Artison has actually researched thousands of TVs, so they can give you grilles that just blend seamlessly in with your set. It's a really smart design actually.
Steve: They've done all the hard work. Now once you get these speakers everything that you need to attach them to the TV comes packed right in the box. And the hardware is really well-made, and it's really thoughtfully designed just like the speakers are.
Amanda: I was impressed. Yeah.
Steve: Now almost all flat panel LCD and plasma TVs have standard wall-mount holes in the back, and this hardware uses those same holes. So you don't have to modify your TV, and the speakers are really securely attached.
Amanda: That's definitely important. Now, we also wanted to share a couple of installation tips. First of all because these speakers are really very high quality, they're pretty heavy, so you want to be sure you have someone there to help you attach them to your TV. Secondly, if you're going to wall-mount your TV and your speakers, you want to be extra sure that your TV's wall mount is strong enough not just to handle the weight of your TV, but also the additional weight of your speakers.
Steve: Absolutely, because depending on which model you choose, it can add anywhere from twenty to fifty pounds.
Amanda: Yeah. Now for more details and safety tips you can watch our video about wall-mounting a TV at crutchfield.com/wallmountvid
Steve: Now, these speakers sound really great just on their own, but if you want to put together a complete surround sound system, Artison also makes voice-matched surround speakers and subwoofers.
Amanda: Yep, which is cool.
Steve: And if you want to have that same Artison sound, but prefer an in-wall speaker, Artison makes in-wall versions of these as well.
Amanda: And that's cool because those actually mount flush in your wall. They have paintable grilles, they just blend right in.
Steve: Really slick.
Amanda: So if you want to learn more about Artison speakers just visit crutchfield.com/Artison
Steve: And you can always call us at 1-800-555-9408.

best way to get a compatible kernel is to use the folder names in the repository like I found. lucid for Isadora, maverick for Julia etc. and stick to ones without 'RC' status.

Statement by Head of Economic Department Silberberg at the 44th Session of the CPD on Population and Education
(As delivered)
Distinguished delegates,
Ladies and gentlemen,
In 1994 the Cairo Programme of Action stated that "the aim of family-planning programmes must be to enable couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly the number and spacing of their children and to have the information and means to do so and to ensure informed choices and make available a full range of safe and effective methods."
Not only that back then the international community committed itself to a stronger promotion of reproductive rights, it also, in the Cairo Programme of Action, stated that "the relationship between education and demographic and social changes is one of interdependence".
The last decades have seen great improvement in the reproductive health of men and women and in the access to education. However, …
· worldwide an estimated 215 million women have no access to reliable family planning methods or to reproductive health information and services.
· Every year, approximately 350.000 women die due to complications in pregnancy and child birth.
· As well, The Education for All - Global Monitoring Report 2011 states that the number of children out of school is falling too slowly. 67 million children are out of school.
· Gender disadvantage in school is costing lives. If the average child mortality rate for sub-Saharan Africa were to fall to the level associated with women who have some secondary education, there would be 1.8 million fewer deaths.
· Young people around the world initiate sexual activity earlier, marry later and are often victims of sexual violence - in particular girls and women. Despite these trends, many are denied access to information and support that could enable them to protect their own sexual and reproductive health in an environment free of fear, coercion or shame.
It is widely known that an increase in the education of women and girls contributes to greater empowerment of women, to a postponement of the age of marriage and to a reduction in the size of families. In short, when mothers are better educated, their families are smaller and their children's survival rate tends to increase. Women with post-primary education are five times more likely than illiterate women to know necessary facts about family-planning and HIV and AIDS.
On the other hand uncontrolled population growth highly affects the educational system. Access to and quality of education, for example provided through an adequate number of trained teachers has to be ensured in growing cities as well as rural areas.
As such, the link between education and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) still is, and again becomes, key to sustainable social and economic development.
The current international political environment is favorable to support aspects related to sexuality education and family planning. In 2010, the G8 Muskoka Initiative and the launch of the UN Secretary-General's Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health have brought the issue of reproductive health and rights as well as the importance of sexuality education to the forefront. In addition, several donors have put these issues high on their agenda again.
Germany is committed to promote population and education issues and thereby improve people's living conditions in its partner countries.
Realizing SRHR is one priority focus of German development cooperation in the area of health and population policy. It is deemed as a necessary prerequisite for achieving international development goals. German development cooperation in health works to promote SRHR through a human rights based and gender sensitive approach while also considering the complexity and causality of SRHR with other sectors, such as education.
At the G8 summit in June 2010, the Federal Chancellor Merkel committed additional 400 million € ODA over five years for the G8-Muskoka initiative to promote maternal and child health. This will lead to annual German ODA-contributions of around 380 million €. Implementing the Muskoka-pledge, the German Government will put a strong focus on the promotion of reproductive health and voluntary family planning including sexuality education. Bilateral financial contributions in the respective areas will be doubled. In total, German Development Contribution to health currently totals more than 700 million € annually.
The German Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development has recently launched the draft of a new education strategy which focuses on a holistic approach to education and underlines the important role of education for the sustainable development in other sectors such as health, water, energy and others. There is a clear focus on women and girls in Germany's new education strategy. German Development Cooperation in the field of education currently totals about 1,2 billion € annually.
In addition, the German Government has taken a number of initiatives to promote education in the field of sexual and reproductive health:
1.) In 2010, the German Federal Centre for Health Education published the 'Standards for Sexuality Education'. These Standards were developed in close cooperation with the WHO Regional Office for Europeand a European expert group. The Standards for Sexuality Education not only advocate for the introduction of holistic sexuality education in schools but also give practical help to improve existing programs and curricula. They provide step-by-step instructions and a detailed matrix to support health and education professionals in their efforts to guarantee children accurate and sensitively presented information about sexuality. The Federal Centre for Health Education currently supports the dissemination and implementation of these guidelines within the WHO Europe region.
2.) The German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development and its implementing agencies KfW and GIZ, together with Bayer Health Care, the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and the German Foundation for World Population (DSW) organize an annual International Dialogue on Population and Sustainable Development. This years 9th International Dialogue in October 2011 in Berlin will focus on SRHR and education. A group of about 80 international experts will develop an action guide and give recommendations for cooperation programmes with selected partner countries.
These initiatives, building up on the German development cooperation in the priority areas of health and education, contribute to the Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health under the auspices of the United Nations Secretary-General. Germany calls upon all partner governments as well as international institutions, the private sector and civil society to support this strategy and to give high priority to the promotion of education and sexual and reproductive health.
Thank you for your attention.

Easy Mobile Learning (Sort of…)
Ok, so you have some existing e-learning with audio, video, animation that your users access online with their personal computers (Do we still use the phrase "personal computers?"). Maybe you have created your course in something like Articulate Presenter or Flash where a large part of it consists of more listen-and-learn content and less click-and-read.
Why not make it available on mobile devices as another option so that users can access at least part of (the less interactive part) while on the road? Now by mobile format, I don't mean true mobile learning. I simply mean video files that can be played on your IPod, Iphone, Ipad, Blackberry, or Android device much as you would a video podcast.
Here is an easy way to convert your online learning to a mobile format.
Step 1: Get some screen recording software
Get yourself a copy of Camtasia Studio 6 or 7 from Tech Smith. I use Camtasia and not something like Captivate from Adobe because, not only is it cheaper, but it has a great Pan and Zoom feature that allows me to effectively zoom in on parts of the presentation and pan across the screen. These are very important features when adapting something for the small screen that was originally intended for the big screen.
Step 2: Record
Record the main stage area of your course with Camtasia. Camtasia, allows you to record not only what appears on your computer screen, but also the system audio before it comes out of the speakers. This will give you the best sound quality. If you don't have it set right, you may end up recording the audio that has been picked up by your external microphone as it comes out of your speakers. I had to fool around with the audio properties somewhat to get the settings right. In Camtasia Studio 7, in the audio options I chose Record System Audio.
In Camtasia Studio 6, you will need to go into the audio options and choose either the Stereo Mix or Speaker Audio. Test it out on a short clip and see if it captures the audio correctly.
Once you know how to do it, you can record anything that you can see and hear on your computer just the way it was created. It is a great way to keep a copy of a video you like, extract audio from a flash movie, create a video from a flash movie. Whatever.
Tip: Some programs like Articulate allow you to let the entire course play automatically from one section to the next. If you can, set it up to do auto play so that you don't have to stop and start the recording and have multiple recordings to import into Camtasia. If you can't do this, you can make smaller movies for each section of your course and then combine them in Camtasia.
Step 3: Import into Project
Once you have your recording(s), you will import them into Camtasia for editing. You will need to create a new Camtasia project. I suggest you choose a size for your project closer to the size of the output you want to create so that you can see how much you will have to zoom in on the material. However, if you want to create multiple sizes and formats for new devices as well as older ones you may want to start with a larger size and scale your videos down later with another tool. In my case, I wanted to create output for older Blackberry Curves as well as newer Ipod Touches and Iphones. I wanted various sizes to take advantage of the larger screens so I set my project setting to 640 x 480 and used another tool to process the other sizes and formats of videos.
Step 4: Edit
Once you have your movies in the Camtasia program, it is time to edit them. This will consist mostly of starting from the beginning and progressing to the end all the while zooming in on key parts of your presentation that might not be as visible on a smaller device.
You will need to make some judgment calls. Sometimes this may mean showing a full screen and then zooming on a particular image or bullet point, other times you may have to sacrifice showing the larger screen with associated images and pan around the screen focusing on individual elements. Since this is only good for narrated courses where the user can fill in the blanks by listening, there will be some trade-offs.
We did this for one client who had a course that was about an hour in length. In this case, we had to break the video into three parts to make it easier for users to download and watch them in reasonable chunks. This meant also finding logical breaks and creating a clear title for the beginning and end of each part.
Step 5: Convert
Once you are done the editing, you can export the course from Camtasia and start converting the videos to other formats and sizes. In our case, we chose one of the output formats that produced a standard MP4 file. Once we had the MP4 file, we ran it through a program like Format Factory to give us the various sizes and formats for common mobile devices. With newer smart phones this can mean quite large resolutions so make sure you keep this in mind when exporting from Camtasia. Also, keep in mind some older devices only handle 320 x 240 video and some only run 3GP. In most cases MP4 is the best format for devices out there.
Though the final product may not be as interactive as some people would like, this is one more good option to make existing elearning content accessible for people on the go.Continue Reading No Comments

Hollywood responded to the Dec. 14 school shooting in Connecticut by postponing or toning down movie premieres and advertisements, yanking violent episodes of television programs from broadcast schedules and even agreeing to support government efforts to prevent such tragedies.
How long, though, will that attitude last?
"Right after these things happen, things are so charged and so emotional that you try not to have obvious references that are going to seem really insensitive," noted Robert Thompson, the widely respected professor of Popular Culture at Syracuse University.
"Now, the next, bigger question is not what movie studios and television networks do for the first week or two after one of these things. The next question is if they actually want to do something on a more permanent basis? And I don't think we're going to see much of that."
It looks like he's right.
Paramount Pictures postponed its Pittsburgh premiere of the Tom Cruise shoot-em-up "Jack Reacher" from the weekend right after the Newtown killings to Wednesday of last week, and the Weinstein Co. switched its red-carpet premiere of Quentin Tarantino's bloody slave era drama "Django Unchained" to a low-key industry screening. But both of those pictures stuck with their Christmas-week commercial openings.
The Fox Network spiked episodes of the animated "American Dad" and "Family Guy" series two days after the school shooting, in which 26 people including 20 young children were killed, out of sensitivity for the situation. But that very same "Family Guy" episode was scheduled to run tonight.
Also last week, the chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America, Christopher Dodd, issued the following statement:
"(W)e join all Americans in expressing our sympathy as well as our horror and outrage at this senseless act of violence," wrote Dodd, a former U.S. senator from Connecticut. "Thus, I have reached out to the Administration to express our support for the President's efforts in the wake of the Newtown tragedy. Those of us in the motion picture and television industry want to do our part to help America heal. We stand ready to be part of the national conversation."
Critics of the entertainment industry, which admittedly includes violent videogames and provocative pop music (Ke$ha's "Die Young" was pulled from many radio playlists last week), see all of these moves as typical Hollywood smoke.
"This is just another example of the doublespeak in that `Oh, we're heartbroken and we're concerned about those who lost their lives, but we're only going to really be concerned for a couple of days because then we've got to get back to making some money,"' suggested Tim Winter, president of the Parents Television Council, which calls itself a nonpartisan education organization advocating responsible entertainment.
"It shows the hollow nature of the concern, because if the concern were genuine, and they thought for a moment that what they were doing actually had an impact on behavior, then they'd step back and say `You know what? Let's rethink this entirely,"' added Winter, who did praise the moves entertainers made in the immediate aftermath of the shootings. "But there's a lot of money to be made."
Of course, fingers have been pointed at Hollywood when past massacres occurred from Columbine High School to Aurora, Colo., and too many places beyond and since.
True to the established script, in a controversial press conference Friday, National Rifle Association head Wayne LaPierre tried to shift some of the blame for Newtown to the media, stating "(T)oo many in the national media, their corporate owners, and their stockholders act as silent enablers, if not complicit co-conspirators."
Winter, while agreeing with some of LaPierre's points, distanced himself from any singling out of one facet of American society.
"It's interesting to have the lovers of the First Amendment pointing at the lovers of the Second Amendment as the reason and vice versa," Winter said. "Rather than saying `It's not us, it's them,' I think we can step back and say, `Perhaps it's both."'
Some members of the creative community have already pushed back in defense of their aesthetic rights.
"It's just a horrible tragedy," Tarantino told CNN on Monday. "What are you going to say about it? It's horrible. But at the same time, I don't think it has anything to do with that. This has gone back all the way to Shakespeare's days, all right? When there's violence in the street, the cry becomes `Blame the playmakers.' And I actually think that's a very facile argument to pin on something that's so real-life tragic."
Others sound a bit more conciliatory. At a press junket for the upcoming movie "Gangster Squad" - held the day following the Newtown shootings - actor Josh Brolin noted "Of course there's a sensitivity. But you have to look at the grand scheme of things from a universal standpoint. There are videogames and psycho-pharmaceuticals and parents that aren't at home; there are many, many different factors."
"Gangster Squad" is actually a rare example of a big Hollywood movie being altered in the wake of a real-life massacre. Following last summer's Aurora mass shooting at a theater showing "The Dark Knight Rises," Warner Bros., the distributor of both films, pulled "Gangster" from its September release date in order for a violent gun-attack sequence set in a theater to be replaced with an also bloody one staged in L.A.'s Chinatown.
Brolin later told the Daily News that the reshoot was a no-brainer.
"The movie theater sequence was too exact," the actor explained. "It's not even like you change it because you let the (killer) win by manipulating everything and letting him control all this other stuff because of this psychotic decision and manifestation of himself. It was too similar, it was gross it was so similar. There was no decision to be made, it was already made, it was just so obvious."
Warners plans to release the still gunplay-heavy crime drama on Jan. 11.
"We always review our materials to ensure we are being sensitive when horrifying events such as these occur," the studio said in a written statement. "`Gangster Squad' is a film based on a specific historic incident, and we intend to go forward with our plans for its release."
Genuine grief and horror over the Newtown massacre has been as evident in the entertainment community as much as it has in every segment of American society, though.
For instance, on Monday New York's Film Society of Lincoln Center canceled a fundraising tribute - for K-12 education, no less - to Cruise that included a screening of "Reacher," with both the star's and Paramount's avid consent.
"New York and Connecticut are so close together, it's like the difference between Hollywood and, say, Woodland Hills or Calabasas," Rose Kuo, the Film Society's executive director, said of her decision to cancel the event. "If a shooting involving 20 schoolkids occurred in Calabasas and there was going to be a benefit celebration at the Chinese Theatre that night, I think the organizers would have canceled."
Still trying to get her head around the enormity and horror of the latest multiple shooting, Kuo wondered how much every part of our culture was culpable.
"We all bear a responsibility," she said. "As a society, as a culture, we all bear a responsibility to ask ourselves why is this happening and how do we prevent it."

Cheryl Cole's Oh-So-Sexy, Post-Lawsuit Night on the Town
Quite the head turner as she dazzled her way around red carpet, Cheryl Cole was on hand for the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball in London on Saturday (December 8).
The Girls Aloud stunner followed up the holiday concert appearance by hitting up the popular Rose Club alongside boyfriend Tre Holloway and her mom, Joan.
The outing comes just as it has been revealed that Miss Cole has sued the production company of "The X Factor" for $2.3 million after having been 'fired' from her gig on the hit competition program.
According to court documents, the British singer claims she signed a "Pay or Play" contract with Blue Orbit Productions that guaranteed her $2 million for season 2, even though she never made it past season 1.
Additionally, the 29-year-old songstress alleges that producers agreed to pay her a $100k wardrobe allowance for each season, $25k for a stylist, $15k-per-month for lodging in L.A. and $2,500 per month for general living expenses.
Finally, Cheryl wants Blue Orbit to cough up the cash for her personal security expenses and flights she took from London to L.A. while she was working on the show.

The éS Man Cometh
An interview with Pierre Andre Senizergues and first look at the limited return of éS Footwear
By Blair Alley
The skate community was shocked in the fall of 2012 when éS announced it was going on a "creative retreat." However, unbeknownst to most of us, the creative minds behind the brand didn't stop creating. "A creative retreat is active, it's not dead," said Senizergues, one-on-one with us in his Lake Forest office. "It was a rethink for what's happening in the market for shoes. During the recession, a lot of shops got hammered, a lot of brands got hammered. Maybe there were too many brands?"
During the hiatus, éS saw a constant demand for its product, most notably in Japan. The Japanese market really wanted the iconic Accel, so éS released four colorways of its classic shoe, to Japan only, in November of 2013 and it became the number one shoe brand in the country immediately. People in the U.S. and Europe caught wind and started asking as well. All this culminated in the decision to drop something for February 2014.
What you'll have the chance to get your hands on are three new éS styles coming in two colorways—red and black. Emphasizing the community and culture of skateboarding, the shoes will only be available in 100 core shops globally—each shop receiving only eight pairs of each style in the two colorways. You might want to call ahead.
The question on many people's minds, "Is there going to be a team?" Well the answer is, there is no official team, and there are no plans to release more shoes than this limited run. éS is just putting this out there to see how the skate community reacts. No decision has been made on if or when the brand will permanently return. Those pairs that are going to your local shop will never be produced again.
"We wanted to do it February 14 because we love skateboarding. We feel like it's going to bring some excitement to the retailers."—Pierre Andre Senizergues

The Surface Pro doesn't go on sale for another three days, but reviews hit the airwaves last night. If want check out this post from earlier today summing up what the web is saying. Or I'll just spoil it for you – the Surface Pro is a kick ass device that is really only slowed down by battery life.
Wouldn't that be great if there was an accessory that could help push the device past the 4 ½ hour average? There may be.

No one has yet enjoyed any spiteful fun at Mrs. Depew's expense though many were on the qui vive for entertainment.
Mr. Depew says that "all railroad men are politicians, and active ones."
Gerald's first act, after fixing on a train at the railway station, was to send a wire to Depew.
It looked like "cows," but Miss Depew decided that it was "crows."
On the day of the settlement with Depew, I handed him nineteen thousand pounds in notes.
He was quite ready to touch the finger tips of Miss Depew, and try again.
Choate and Depew and Stedman were in their prime then—we were all young men together.
Depew, a native of the same county as three generations of Jays.
Nobody knows Mr. Depew who has not seen him among the Dutch.
I knew much of both these men, and Tom had often spoken warmly of Depew.

The King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSHRC) is the pinnacle of the healthcare system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. With facilities in Riyadh and Jeddah, plus a children's cancer center, KFSHRC provides care for the most seriously ill patients from anywhere in Saudi Arabia. Along with delivering advanced treatments, the center conducts leading-edge research and helps train the next generation of physicians, nurses and other clinicians.
Like many nations, Saudi Arabia faces an increasing demand for healthcare services as its population is growing, people are living longer, and lifestyle diseases are on the rise1.
KFSHRC recognized that modernizing its technology infrastructure would be essential to meeting future challenges in a reliable, cost-effective way. So, the center is migrating much of its data center infrastructure to servers and storage systems based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family. KFSHRC is also adopting 2 in 1 devices with the Intel® Core™ i5 vPro™ processor for clinicians on the go.
KFSHRC leaders say their technology strategy is enhancing care givers' productivity and delivering an optimized data center that supports innovative healthcare IT solutions. For example, they have:
- Reduced capital costs as well as ongoing costs for licensing, support, and maintenance
- Reduced floor space requirements by 50 percent
- Reduced cabling inside the data center by 70 percent
- Improved system availability by 90 percent
- Enhanced agility by enabling them to deploy new capabilities rapidly
KSFHRC's technology strategy delivers important benefits for patients and healthcare providers alike. These include:
- More coordinated, patient-centered care. Powerful healthcare IT solutions and mobile computing can empower treatment teams to provide more coordinated care before, during, and after the patient's hospital stay.
- Higher patient satisfaction and engagement. Patients and their families can experience shorter wait times, greater convenience, and fewer redundant procedures. Tools such as portals can help engage patients in managing their own health.
- Improved productivity, hiring, and retention. Healthcare IT solutions can help medical professionals work more productively and reduce stress. Healthcare IT modernization help KSFHRC attract and retain doctors, nurses, and other clinicians.
- Readiness for Healthcare 2020. KSFHRC is positioning itself to take advantage of technology-enabled advance that are transforming medicine.

Do you ever watch or read something that speaks to you, something that says "this is me"? Catching up on the Brave Girls Club posts the other and there it was a post HERE about waiting for the other shoe to drop...oh my goodness, does this describe me. A habit that has developed over the past six years that I wish would just vanish. To recognize it daily, shift your train of thought and just be in the moment is something that can be difficult to do...however, I am willing to try. So my project today is just that..."Enjoy Today". Things may go wrong, people may not agree with what you say or do (which often consumes me), but just be here now.
This card set was created for my Wednesday post with Precious Remembrance. So many sentiment stamps that work well together. Also added the felt flowers using the heart border from Papertrey Ink for this week's MIM challenge. If you haven't checked out Brave Girls Club yet...do. I am sure you will find something that speaks to you. I know that I promised the tutorial today; however, I am not getting good photos, the sun is hiding...check back tomorrow as I am sure the sun will be making an appearance then :)
Enjoy today!

The death notice box has been busy the past couple of weeks, in fact, so busy that it's hard to keep up.
Ed McMahon, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Gale Storm, Karl Malden, Billy Mays, Steve McNair, Robert McNamara – those are some of the big names who left us during the past couple of weeks.
They say the deaths of famous people come in threes. If that's the case, we have far exceeded our quota.

A 22-year-old Davis County man was behind bars Friday, the day after he allegedly riddled a passing police car with bullets.
The unidentified male officer, who allegedly saw the gunman reach for a pistol and ducked just before an estimated eight bullets struck his cruiser, escaped injury. Two slugs reportedly struck an on-board police laptop computer just inches away from the officer.
Zane Todd Openshaw, of Farmington, was nabbed by police in neighboring Clinton, moments after the Sunset police officer came under fire about 5 p.m. Thursday in the area of 2300 North and 700 West. Openshaw reportedly had been hiding in or near a shed not far from where the shooting occurred.
Openshaw was booked into Davis County Jail and was charged in 2nd District Court with attempted criminal homicide, a first-degree felony.
The incident is being investigated jointly by the Clinton police and Davis County Sheriff's Office on behalf of Sunset. Sunset Police Chief Ken Eborn said the officer "was a little shaken up" by the incident, but was otherwise fine. "We're giving him a couple days off to recuperate."
Eborn said investigators still were trying to determine the suspect's motive for the shooting; the officer is a relatively new hire and so was not thought to have made enemies or have had a previous connection with Openshaw.
"Our officer has only been with us since August, fresh out of the academy," Eborn said. "I'm confident the two [the officer and Openshaw] have never crossed paths until yesterday."
Eborn said he understood that Openshaw was "being cooperative" with investigators. "I don't think this was retaliation against this officer per se, but it may have been some sort of retaliation against law enforcement in general."
Openshaw does have a criminal record. In November 2010, he was charged with third-degree felony arson related to a car fire set at Wheeler Farm in Murray. In December 2010, Openshaw pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of class A misdemeanor attempted arson, for which he was sentenced to six months in jail.

Peacock's first goal leads Tornados past Crusaders, 1-0September 17, 2008
Douglas contributes with first shutout of season
Brevard, N.C. - The
BC sophomore Nikki Peacock hammered home the game-winning goal off the pass from teammate Kelly Harris to lead the Tornados past the Crusaders, who fall to 4-2 on the season.
The only true chance either team had to score in the first half came in the 40th minute, when Brevard's Latoshia Hopewell received a fantastic through pass and possesed the ball behind the North Greenville backline. But Crusader keeper Jessica Binkley came off her line to poke the ball away before Hopewell could launch a shot, keeping the game scoreless through one period.
The Tornados finally got a breakthrough in the 2nd half when a Tornado cross bounced out of bounds off of Binkley. The ensuing corner kick was taken by Harris, who bounced a ball through the box to an unmarked Peacock. The Canadian put the ball in the net in the 58th minute of the game to put Brevard in front, 1-0.
The Crusaders fought hard to tie the game, holding possession on the BC side of the field for most of the 2nd half, but were unable to score. Junior Danielle Duff had one last chance for NGU as time expired but her desperation shot was corralled by goalie Sydney Douglas.
For the game, Douglas faced 11 shots, saving all four shots on goal in her first shutout of the season. At the other end, Binkley faced 14 Tornado shots and saved five of the six shots on goal.
The Tornados are back in action next week as they host Southern Wesleyan University at the Brevard College Soccer Field at 4 p.m. The Crusaders return home to host
