Ivy League Release
PHILADELPHIA - For the second straight year the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team was picked to place in the top half of the Ivy League. The Quakers were predicted to finish fourth in the 2012-13 Ivy Preseason Media Poll released Wednesday. The preseason poll features a select panel of 17 Ivy media representatives.
Penn earned 76 points in the poll - eight more than last year. Princeton, the three-time defending Ivy League champion, was picked to finish first with 13 of the 17 first-place votes and 132 points. The Tigers were followed by Harvard, which received the other four first-place votes and 120 points. The Quakers were picked behind Yale's 96 points, but ahead of Brown (61), Cornell (58), Dartmouth (46) and Cornell (23).
The Quakers return 10 letterwinners from a season ago and bring in three new members in the Class of 2016 - a well-decorated trio featuring two guards in Keiera Ray and Rayne Connell, while Brooklyn Juday has the potential to play at both the forward and guard position. The Quakers lost two senior starters to graduation last year, but return leading scorer Alyssa Baron and Big 5 Rookie of the Year Kara Bonenberger.
Prior to last season, when the Quakers were also picked fourth, the last time Penn was picked to finish in the top half of the Ivy League was in 2004-05 when the Red and Blue were defending Ivy League champions. The Quakers were predicted to place third and finished fourth with an 8-6 Ivy record. Just two years ago, Penn was picked to finish last, but has improved its win total each season under fourth-year head coach Mike McLaughlin.
The Quakers will begin their 2012-13 campaign on Friday, Nov. 9 at Norfolk State. Tip off is at 6 p.m. The schedule is also highlighted by a Holiday Tournament at Iowa State, a member of the Big 12, and the home opener against Virginia, a member of the ACC (Monday, Nov. 12, 7 p.m.).

Rock Hill, S.C. - Brevard College junior forward Jonathan Whitson has been named South Atlantic Conference men's basketball Player of the Week, it was announced Monday. Whitson averaged 21.7 ppg and 9.7 rpg in leading Brevard to a 2-1 record last week.
Monday against Emory & Henry, Whitson (Clyde, N.C.) led the Tornados to an 89-73 win in the first round of the 38th Annual Marietta Shrine Tournament in Marietta, Ohio. In just 18 minutes of action, Whitson scored 18 points and pulled down five rebounds. Tuesday in the tournament championship game, the Tornados fell, 76-72, to Marietta, but Whitson tallied a double-double with 19 points and 12 boards. For his effort in Marietta, Whitson was named to the All-Tournament Team.
Whitson was the best player on the floor Saturday in Brevard's 90-80 win over Mars Hill, the first official SAC win in program history. The Pisgah High product led all players with 28 points and 12 rebounds.
For the season, Whitson leads all Tornados with 19.1 ppg and 9.9 rpg. He has hit 58.7% of his field goal attempts.
Whitson is the third Tornado athlete to be named SAC Player of the Week in their respective sport. Men's soccer player Jussi Halonen and women's cross country runner Alycia Andrade won the award once each during the fall season.

so why have the adapter if you got a regular fisheye anyway
so why have the adapter if you got a regular fisheye anyway
adapter is way way wayyyy cheaper
but... if you have the real thing why have both
oh you talking about cobalt? im not sure if he has both of em but my guess would be he bough the cheaper adapter when just starting out and then got the real thing when it actually meant something
The adapters have shit optical quality around the edges... No point using them once the novelty of fisheye dies down.
Get the 10.5mm fisheye and a de-fishing program.
what kind of camera do you have?
i have a fisheye and a macro for a cannon 35mm
both lenses are going for $70 each
ef mount?
digital zoom just makes all the pixels bigger, and crops the frame. don't use it.
more soonish
i realize doing this kinda editing is a little played out but i liked it for this flick.

Zions Bancorp's Harris Simmons on Friday easily beat another proposal to strip the role of chairman from him, when shareholders voted by a margin of two to one to reject the idea.
Just 34 percent of the votes cast during the regional bank's annual shareholder meeting favored activist shareholder Gerald Armstrong's second proposal in three years to cleave the role from Simmons' other duties of president and chief executive officer.
Armstrong first proposed splitting the roles at Zions' 2010 annual meeting. The proposal was defeated with just 41 percent of the votes in favor.
Armstrong, who lives in Denver, didn't attend the meeting Friday. However, in a statement included in Zions' 2013 proxy report, he argued that when only one person serves as chairman, president and CEO, that person is accountable only to himself.
"The proponent believes that greater accountability is beneficial to good business practices and could have prevented the 2008 problems [that emerged during the financial crisis that year] which caused earnings to slide and dividends to be reduced to a penny," Armstrong said.
During the meeting, Simmons defended the board's current structure. He said the company and its top management receive "substantial oversight" from the board's 10 directors nine of whom are independent. Only Simmons, the chairman, is a bank employee.
After the meeting, James Abbott, who runs Zions' investor relations department, said there isn't compelling evidence that shareholders are better off with a chairman who isn't a company employee.
"There's no real evidence that supports this initiative; there is clear evidence that it's quite detrimental'' to a company's earnings and stock price, said Abbott, who cited a study published earlier this month in the Harvard Business Review magazine.
The notion of establishing an independent chairman became a hot topic this year when public union shareholders sought to take the chairman's duties from JP Morgan CEO Jaime Dimon. Shareholders defeated the proposal last Tuesday.
Zions' meeting was uneventful otherwise. All 10 directors were easily reelected for another one-year term.

A sell-out crowd of 21,273 filled the Bell Centre Saturday for a scrimmmage that helped raised money for rebuilding efforts in Lac-Mégantic.
Fans were delighted to find a welcoming committee of Canadiens' players when they walked into the Bell Centre. People snapped pictures, shook hands and high-fived the players as they moved along the receiving line.
"The important thing is we get to say hello to our fans and thank them for being here and supporting the initiative," said Geoff Molson, the Canadiens' principal owner who was at the main entrance.
Canadiens defenseman Francis Bouillon received a warm ovation in the third period when he thanked fans for attending the event.
"I think Lac-Mégantic is something that touched us all this summer. And it's nice to see people support a cause like this," Bouillon said after the scrimmage.
The White team won 2-1, led by a pretty back-hand goal by Martin Reway and a long shot by Stefan Fournier that slipped through Peter Budaj's pads. Tomas Plekanec scored for the Red team.
Proceeds from the scrimmage will go to the Fonds Avenir Lac-Mégantic. Tickets cost $5 each and fans received a free hot dog, bag of chips and soft drink.
Dustin Tokarski replaced Carey Price in net in the second period and Zachary Fucale, picked 36th overall by the Canadiens' in last June's entry draft, took over for Budaj.
It was a banner day for Fucale. He made his Bell Centre debut and the team announced they've signed him to a three-year, entry level deal.
Max Pacioretty knocked into Fucale twice, the first time receiving a goaltender interference penalty. Fucale took it in stride and Pacioretty's aggressive play won praise from coach Michel Therrien.
"I thought Patch did a really good job going hard to the net," coach Michel Therrien said after the scrimmage.
"He's so powerful with his speed," Therrien said.
"We want to make sure he's concentrating on those things because he's one of the best skaters in the NHL," Therrien said. "And he's tough to contain when he's using that speed and going hard to the net."
Forward Sebastian Collberg, who has been out with a knee injury, took part in the scrimmage. Collberg was a bit nervous at the start but said he felt pretty good with Charles Hudon and Martin Reway in the scrimmage.
"I didn't expect that today," Collberg said of the huge crowd.
"It was awesome to be out there."
The Canadiens' made their first cuts at training camp on Saturday. They announced that Tim Bozon, Connor Crisp and Jérémy Grégoire will return to their respective junior teams.

Analyzing Reverse Electrodialysis Units with Multiphysics Modeling
Bridget Cunningham March 10, 2017
While reverse electrodialysis (RED) is a promising source of renewable energy, it can be a challenging process to analyze. The performance of RED units is affected by the physical phenomena that occur when converting salinity gradient energy into electric current. To address this, one team of researchers used a novel approach to model such systems in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Their multiphysics model and subsequent simulation studies provide further insight into designing and optimizing RED units.Read More

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is a versatile experimental technique that provides information about an electrochemical cell's different physical and chemical phenomena. By modeling the physical processes involved, we can constructively interpret the experiment's results and assess the magnitudes of the physical quantities controlling the cell. We can then turn this model into an app, making electrochemical modeling accessible to more researchers and engineers. Here, we will look at three different ways of analyzing EIS: experiment, model, and simulation app.Read More

Traditional lithium-ion batteries use an electrolyte based on a flammable liquid solvent, which can cause them to catch fire if they overheat. In recent years, nonflammable solid electrolytes have been investigated as an alternative to improve battery design and safety. Optimizing this technology for industrial applications, however, requires a better understanding of the electrochemical processes inside the device. Simulation serves as a valuable tool for this purpose, helping to realize the use of solid-state lithium-ion batteries in the near future.Read More

Resistive and capacitive effects are fundamental to the understanding of electrochemical systems. The resistances and capacitances due to mass transfer can be represented through physical equations describing the corresponding fundamental phenomena, like diffusion. Further, when considering the resistive or capacitive behavior of double layers, thin films, and reaction kinetics, such effects can be treated simply through physical conditions relating electrochemical currents and voltages. Lastly, resistances and capacitances from external loading circuits can easily be represented in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software.Read More

In version 5.2 of COMSOL Multiphysics, we offer a new feature for simulating corrosion in slender structures. This significantly speeds up the total time spent when working with structures such as oil platforms. By using the boundary element method (BEM) and specialized beam elements in the Current Distribution on Edges, BEM interface, there is no longer a need for a finite element mesh to resolve the whole 3D structure, saving time for large corrosion problems consisting of slender components.Read More

Corrosion is one of the most serious factors affecting the transportation industry. In an effort to minimize its impact, a German research institute and the manufacturers of Mercedes-Benz joined forces to investigate the corrosion occurring in automotive rivets and sheet metal. Using COMSOL Multiphysics simulation, they were able to study corrosion's effects on car components.Read More

Diabetes is an incurable global killer: the World Health Organization estimates 350 million diabetics worldwide, with an average annual fatality rate close to 1%. Fortunately, modern medical science enables diabetics to manage their glucose levels and intake, so many countries have seen greatly reduced danger of the disease. Many diabetics must track their glucose levels throughout the day, requiring an accurate method for measuring the concentration of glucose in blood. For modern sensor designs, the method of choice is electrochemistry.Read More

When designing electrochemical cells, we consider the three classes of current distribution in the electrolyte and electrodes: primary, secondary, and tertiary. We recently introduced the essential theory of current distribution. Here, we illustrate the different current distributions with a wire electrode example to help you choose between the current distribution interfaces in COMSOL Multiphysics for your electrochemical cell simulation.Read More
Edmund Dickinson February 7, 2014
In electrochemical cell design, you need to consider three current distribution classes in the electrolyte and electrodes. These are called primary, secondary, and tertiary, and refer to different approximations that apply depending on the relative significance of solution resistance, finite electrode kinetics, and mass transport. Here, we provide a general introduction to the concept of current distribution and discuss the topic from a theoretical stand-point.Read More

Chapel - Living in a World without Strangers: the Practices of Radical Hospitality - Richard Beck
When Friday November 30, 2012 @ 10:00 AM (1697 days ago)
Where Lehman Auditorium
Duration 30 minutes
One of the most radical and controversial aspects of Jesus' life and ministry was how he constantly crossed social, political, religious and moral boundaries to embrace the "tax collectors and sinners" of his day. And yet, modern Christians struggle with how to follow that example. What is getting in our way? And what dangers must be negotiated if we are to follow Jesus' radical openness to others?
Dr. Richard Beck is Professor and Chair of Psychology at Abilene Christian University and is the author of Unclean: Meditations on Purity, Hospitality, and Mortality and The Authenticity of Faith: The Varieties and Illusions of Religious Experience. As an experimental psychologist Richard has also published extensively in the empirical literature examining the intersection of Christianity and psychology. Richard also writes regularly about the interface of theology and psychology at his popular and award-winning blog Experimental Theology. Richard is married to Jana, who is a high-school theater teacher; they have two sons—Brenden and Aidan.

Rising oil prices and booming natural gas production has drawn much attention to energy sector over the last few years — even if it's not all wanted. While battles have raged over pipelines, gas prices and fracking rights, the latest game of cat-and-mouse stems from "activist" investor Carl Icahn's bid to enter the refining business.
After failed bids to acquire filmmaker Lions Gate Entertainment (NYSE:LGF) and gain board seats at consumer products giant Clorox (NYSE:CLX), the corporate raider has turn his attention to Sugar Land, Texas, refiner CVR Energy (NYSE:CVI). Icahn plans on buying the 100-year-old company then selling it later on to one of the major refining firms.
Naturally, the board at CVR hasn't exactly been thrilled with the investor's hostile bid and soon adopted a poison pill defense.
While the proxy battle could go on for months, the real question is whether CVR is worth Icahn's — or other investors' — time.
A 'Sweet Spot' Refiner
After gaining at 14.5% stake in the company, Icahn has offered to pay shareholders a total of $2.26 billion, or $30 per share, for the refining firm. So far, shareholders had tendered about 55% of the refiner's outstanding shares to Icahn in response to the bid. In response, CVR launched a provision that if any investor gains ownership of more than 15% of the company, the board may issue additional equity to dilute the acquirer's stake and stop them from gaining control. Icahn countered by saying if the board doesn't decide in his favor, that "we will seek to hold them accountable to the maximum extent permitted by law."
So why all the brouhaha? CVR's main assets include a 115,000-barrel-per-day oil refinery located in Coffeyville, Kan., a 70,000-barrel-per-day refinery located in Wynnewood, Okla., as well as the necessary pipelines and gathering systems needed to operate those assets. The firm also owns the general partner and a majority of the common units of CVR Partners LP (NYSE:UAN). That MLP owns facilities that produce ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate fertilizers.
Two small refineries and an ammonium nitrate facility hardly seem worth fighting over. However, the key is where those plants are located.
As East Coast refiners like Sunoco (NYSE:SUN) have struggled under rising Brent crude prices, those with access to cheap and abundant West Texas Intermediate (WTI) have flourished over the last few years. Those refiners located inland are able to buy crude at the lower WTI benchmark — currently around $103 a barrel — and then sell gasoline at prices based on the global benchmark. North Sea Brent crude futures are currently trading northwards of $123.
That crack spread has been key to the recent success and rising profits at the inland independent refiners. CVR receives about 86% of its feed stock from WTI indexed oil. That has resulted in CVR realizing juicy gross margins per barrel of $15.13.
While CVR doesn't feature the best refining margins of the major independent refineries, that $15 per barrel's worth of profit is certainly attractive. Secondly, the firm's small asset base (two refineries) and small market cap makes flipping it relatively easy. So one certainly can understand Icahn's attraction to the firm.
However, the activist investor might have gotten ahead of himself on this one.

Ravens win Super Bowl over 49ers, 34 to 31
New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Joe Flacco unequivocally proved he belongs with the NFL's elite quarterbacks, while John Harbaugh showed that big brother indeed knows best.
And for Ray Lewis, it was the ultimate ending to an absoutely illustrious career.
Flacco delivered a lights-out performance -- both literally and figuratively -- at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and the Baltimore Ravens warded off a furious comeback attempt by the San Francisco 49ers to hold on for a 34-31 victory in a thrill-packed Super Bowl XLVII that every bit lived up to its advance billing.
With nearly all of the two-week pregame buildup focused around either Lewis -- due to the iconic linebacker and team leader's retirement announcement prior to the playoffs as well as a recent Sports Illustrated story stating he used a banned deer antler spray to help recover from a midseason triceps injury -- or the unprecedented head-to-head clash of Harbaugh and his sibling Jim on football's biggest stage, it was Flacco's rising star that shone the brightest.
The ultra-composed Baltimore field general threw three touchdown passes to stake his team to a 21-6 halftime lead it very nearly gave away, and finished with 287 yards and no turnovers on a crisp 22-of-33 passing to earn Most Valuable Player honors, a place among the sport's upper echelon at the position -- and almost certainly a massive new contract as an impending free agent.
Anquan Boldin hauled in one of Flacco's scoring strikes while amassing 104 yards on six catches, with Jacoby Jones adding a Super Bowl-record 108-yard kickoff return score in addition to hauling in a 56-yard touchdown pass to help the Ravens capture their second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.
It didn't come easy, however. Sparked by a terrific second-half performance by young quarterback Colin Kaepernick and an extended break caused by a mysterious 34-minute power outage early in the third quarter, a valiant San Francisco squad cut a 28-6 deficit down to two after Kaepernick's 15-yard touchdown run with just under 10 minutes left to play pulled the Niners within 31-29.
Inspired by both Lewis' swan song and the game's obvious magnitude, the Baltimore defense rose to the occasion down the stretch. The Ravens thwarted a potential tying two-point conversion attempt following Kaepernick's touchdown, then later came up with a pivotal late stop after San Francisco got down to the 5-yard line in the final moments.
Kaepernick overcame a slow start to throw for 302 yards and a touchdown to Michael Crabtree while completing 16-of-28 passes with an interception. Both Crabtree and Vernon Davis eclipsed the 100-yard receiving mark for the Niners, who outgained Baltimore by a 468-367 margin in total offense, while Frank Gore added 110 rushing yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.
Crabtree compiled 109 yards on five catches and Davis had six grabs totaling 104 yards for San Francisco, which suffered its first-ever Super Bowl loss and came up just short in its goal to match the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most wins (6) in the Big Game.

Provo • Robbie Buckner learned Saturday night why he is a defensive back, and not a receiver. The BYU senior dropped an easy interception in the first half of the Cougars' 52-13 win over Idaho, then atoned for the mistake with a nice diving interception in the second half.
Buckner also discovered on that cold, snow-filled night that all those years of practicing, of sitting on the bench game after game, were worth it.
The 5-foot-10, 176-pounder from Ashdown, Ark., found out on Monday that he would get the start at field corner against the Vandals because sophomore Jordan Johnson had been suspended for one game. It was just the second start of his career. His first was as a freshman back in 2009, against Utah State.
"It was kind of unreal, just because I have been here so long. I have been on the team since 2006 and I don't think it has sunk in with me yet, just because I have been here so long and every Saturday I am here," he said. "By the time the season is over, maybe it will have sunk in with me."
Buckner was even more grateful to get a chance than usual because he almost didn't get a chance to play this season. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer during the summer and sat out of preseason camp. But the cancer regressed and he joined the team in early September.
"I have been waiting forever for that [interception]," he said. "As soon as I got here, I've wanted one. You know, you don't get those opportunities too often, but when you get them, you got to take advantage of them. Luckily, I got two of them."
Buckner will go back to his role as a backup to both Johnson and boundary corner Preston Hadley this Saturday when BYU travels to 8-2 San Jose State (8:30 p.m. MST, ESPN2), but could see more action than usual because starting free safety Joe Sampson was booted off the team..
"He did really well," coach Bronco Mendenhall said. "He got beat on one pass, a double move, where he actually read it and was on top of it. It was just underthrown, and the guy came back and caught it. … But he really played hard and was assignment-sound. So I was really impressed."
Injury update
Backup linebackers Uani Unga and Manoa Pikula did not practice Monday due to injury. Like Buckner, Unga had his first career interception against Idaho.
Offensive lineman Brock Stringham (tonsillitis) practiced Monday, while center Braden Hansen (groin tear) did not. Mendenhall said he is "hopeful" that all four players will play on Saturday against the Spartans.
Receiver Cody Hoffman is the FBS Independent offensive player of the week and kicker Justin Sorensen is the FBS Independent special teams player of the week. Hoffman caught nine passes for 108 yards and three touchdowns. Sorensen made all seven of his PAT attempts to extend his streak to 68 straight PATs without a miss, a school record. The old mark was 67 straight and had stood since 2004.

I just came across that earlier this morning as well - and you're right, 51areA: it is A LOT of code, but it looks like it's running in a loop. I tried doing a search for the last part of it but haven't come across anything yet. I'm going to continue doing searches for sections of the code and hopefully I'll get lucky and come up with a clue.

Team Dymatize Brock LesnarMMA Heavyweight ChampionBiographyLesnar was a dominant collegiate wrestler. He wrestled for two years at Bismarck State College in North Dakota, where he accumulated a 56-3 record and earned the NJCAA wrestling championship as a heavyweight in 1998. Lesnar then transferred to the University of Minnesota and proceeded to win the 2000 NCAA wrestling championship as a heavyweight. He finished his amateur career as a four-time All-American, two-time Big Ten Champion and NCAA heavyweight wrestling champion with an overall record of 106-5. Following his amateur career, Lesnar joined World Wrestling Entertainment and enjoyed immediate success as a professional wrestler. Within five months of making his television debut, Lesnar, at age 25, became the WWE Undisputed Champion. He went on to become a three-time WWE Champion before leaving WWE in 2004 to pursue a career in the National Football League. Lesnar is currently competing as an MMA fighter. His much anticipated MMA debut was among the highest revenue generating events in the history of pay-per-view. On November 15, 2008, Lesnar captured the Heavyweight Championship in just his fourth professional MMA bout, defeating legendary fighter Randy Couture by technical knockout in the second round. After headlining events registering over 2.2 Million buys, Lesnar was announced as 2008's "top pay-per-view draw" by Yahoo Sports. To handle his hard-core, and sometimes marathon training sessions, Brock developed his own supplementation program: Xpand Xtreme Pump for pre-workout, Elite Protein for packing on muscle and Elite Recoup for recovery. We now call it...The Brock Stack. Andy HamanIFBB Pro BodybuilderUSA National Freestyle Wrestling Champion BiographyAfter only a year and half of training 5 hours per day- Andy captured and won the Masters National title in the Superheavy weight class and overall title to earn IFBB pro status. Truly a young boy's Dream, that started in an average Iowa town, in an average Iowa basement to an average Iowa kid with a not so average brother who pushed him to be a Pro! Andy received his Bachelor of Science in Education with a Health and Art minor. He has taught in the public school system for 14 years and coached Wrestling and Football with numerous league and State Champions as well. Erin Stern2010 Figure Olympia Champion BiographyErin grew up riding horses, and for fun would run next to her horse and jump fences with him. Her parents suggested she try out for the track team in high school. She went on to compete in the high jump, pentathlon, and heptathlon for the University of Florida, and was a Jr All-American and Co-Captain of the team while at UF. Still competing in the high jump in 2008, she missed the Olympic Qualifying Standard in the high jump by 3 cm. This near miss prompted her to try and be competitive in a different sport: Figure. She earned her IFBB Pro Card by winning the Overall Figure Championship at NPC Nationals in 2008, which was her third show! Erin captured her first title as the 2010 Olympia Figure Champion. She has a BA in Environmental Policy from UF, and is currently a Realtor, contest prep consultant, and a writer. About DymatizeNutrition was founded in 1994 and has been an industry leader supplying the highest quality nutritional supplements to millions of fitness enthusiasts and athletes around the world! Dymatize is a world-renowned company spanning across 50+ countries. Producing the safest, highest quality and most efficacious products are extremely important to us. In fact, one way they ensure quality is having every raw ingredient and finished products quarantined for 3 days while being tested for potency and purity multiple times by their in-house quality control testing microbiological lab to help ensure that the highest standards are met. Each of these tests is designed to deliver the safest, most effective and consistent products available on the market today. For this reason, they believe that Dymatize is one of the most independently tested brand of sports supplements available in the world. Their commitment to extremely high quality, superior taste and delicious flavors endures. Developing and offering new cutting edge products along side their already proven product line of 250+ SKUs, they continue to be associated with the top quality products demanded by the top athletes globally. Beyond providing safe and high quality products, another way they separate theirselves from the rest of the competition is because production of their products and manufacturing of powders and liquids takes place in their own state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. All production equipment, three separate research and development labs, and four quality control labs are all located in-house. They also have their own flavor lab - that's right, they actually make their own flavors when most companies purchase a finished flavor from an outside company. Their facilities are NSF GMP certified as well as FDA inspected. Their pills are also manufactured under strict conditions in a pharmaceutical-licensed facility. They take great pride in the details and construction of their production facilities. Every aspect of the facility design is focused on manufacturing the best quality products. Because of the cost, most nutrition companies do not own their own manufacturing plants; however, they felt it was a necessary investment to insure the quality of their products down to the smallest detail. Being in total control of the purchasing, processing, blending, and packaging of their own products, they are able to keep prices low, while ensuring the highest safety, efficacy and quality at every step. They are committed to delivering the highest quality supplements and to the pursuit of Building Better Bodies. Their commitment in time, effort and money is unprecedented in the industry. When you get a Dymatize product, you know exactly what you are getting and that it's undoubtedly the best.

Mainstream newspapers carried a wide range of stories covering the African-American. A considerable number of white newspapers in both the North and South carried columns or special sections of news specifically for black readership. Stories ranged from items about local residents to those on a state or national scale. The Joliet Evening Herald News in April of 1926, for example, ran an article on the awarding of a charter to the first black Boy Scout troop in the city.
Obituaries or stories reporting the deaths of black community members can be found with regularity. Researchers report great success in finding items such as these on their ancestors. In most cases these ancestors have not lived a life of great acclaim, but have merely established themselves as amicable neighbors.
In general, it's not unusual to find obituaries in mainstream newspapers to be more extensive than those in African-American newspapers. I would guess that this is particularly true in cases when the white paper is published in town, while the black newspaper is national in scope and published elsewhere. A case in point would be the death of African-American Nancy Greenly of Kankakee, Ill., in 1920. Her death notice in the Chicago Defender on January 17 consisted of one paragraph on page 7, compared to front-page coverage of the event in eight rich paragraphs in the Kankakee Daily Republican.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- So far in 2012, Cornell junior forward Daniel Haber (Toronto) has earned a record five Ivy League Player of the Week awards and scored a League-high 18 goals while leading the Big Red to its first League title since 1995, its first outright championship since 1977 and its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1996.
So in a season of firsts for Haber and Cornell, it should come as no surprise that he was unanimously selected Ivy League Player of the Year after a vote by the League's eight coaches, the first Big Red to ever earn the award.
Haber's record-setting year is not over, as Cornell will host Syracuse on Nov. 15 in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Haber leads the League and is third nationally in goals (18) and points (43), both personal-bests. He ranks first in the country in goals per game and points per game and also has a career-high seven assists on the year. Haber continued his stellar play in League play, finishing with an Ivy-best four goals and 10 points. Two of his personal-high five gamewinning goals came in conference action.
Haber was also a unanimous selection to the All-Ivy first team, his second-straight All-Ivy award after being named to the second team in 2011. He is the first unanimous selection for Player of the Year since Dartmouth's Craig Henderson in 2008 and Cornell's first unanimous first team honoree since Eric Kusseluk in 1996. Haber takes home the second postseason League award for Cornell and the first since Richard Stimpson was named Rookie of the Year in 1997.
Princeton freshman Thomas Sanner (Indianapolis) was voted Rookie of the Year to become the ninth Tiger to earn the award and the first since Matt Behncke in 1998. Sanner led his team in points (14) and assists (six) and tied for the team lead with four goals, including three gamewinners.
Sanner led the League's rookies in points, points per game, goals, assists and assists per game. Overall, he tied for third in assists and assists per game and tied for fourth in points. Sanner is one of four rookies to earn Honorable Mention All-Ivy honors.
Brown and Cornell each placed four players on the first team. Joining Haber for the Big Red was junior Patrick Slogic (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and seniors Rick Pflasterer (Ann Arbor, Mich.) and Tyler Regan (Philadelphia). Slogic and Pflasterer each took home their second-straight first team accolades. For Cornell, it marked the first time it had first team selections in back-to-back years since 2000 (Rick Stimpson) and 2001 (Ted Papadopoulos).
Brown senior Dylan Remick (Inverness, Ill.) earned first team accolades for the third-consecutive season and was a unanimous selection for the second-straight year. After missing most of the 2011 campaign due to injury, senior Thomas McNamara (West Nyack, N.Y.) received his first career first-team All-Ivy accolade, which also marked his third career postseason honor. Senior Eric Robertson (San Antonio) and sophomore Ben Maurey (Downingtown, Pa.) were also named to the first team for the first time of their careers.
Princeton senior Mark Linnville (Boone, N.C.) became the seventh player in League history to earn first team honors four-straight years. He is the third player to accomplish the feat in the past four years, joining Harvard's Andre Akpan (2006-07-08-09) and Dartmouth's Lucky Mkosana (2008-09-10-11). Linnville is the second Tiger to accomplish the feat, joining Joe Thieman (1990-91-92-93). He was joined on the first team by senior Matt Sanner (Indianapolis), who was named to the first team for the second-straight year while earning his fourth All-Ivy honor.
Dartmouth also put two on the first team in junior Kevin Dzierzawski (Oakland Twp., Mich.) and sophomore Alex Adelabu (Houston). Adelabu ranked second in the League in points (21) and goals (nine) and was a two-time Player of the Week recipient. Harvard senior Scott Prozeller (Sudbury, Mass.) earned his third-straight All-Ivy accolade after taking home first team honors last season and second team accolades in 2010.
Columbia earned five All-Ivy honors, including senior Quentin Grigsby (Phoenix) and junior David Najem (Clifton, N.J.), who were each named to the second team. Last year's Rookie of the Year, Penn sophomore Duke Lacroix (New Egypt, N.J.), was also named to the second team, as was Quakers' senior Travis Cantrell (Downingtown, Pa.). Yale senior goalkeeper Bobby Thalman (Greenwood Village, Colo.), who led the League with 77 saves and ranked 35th nationally with 4.8 saves per game, earned second team honors for the second-straight year.
Brown will join Cornell in the NCAA Tournament, marking the eighth-straight year that the League earned multiple berths. The Bears earned an at-large bid and will face Drexel at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday in Philadelphia. Three hours later, the Big Red will host Syracuse in Ithaca, N.Y.

This tutorial reflects an aesthetic that Charles has been exploring, one that brings psychogeography to portraits by taking an artistic depiction of the 'soul' of a place and applying it to those who live there. Here he infuses the virtual geography of Twitter into a portrait based on a photo of (supposedly) a regular tweeter. The effects Charles uses might be thought of as capturing the style and content of the person's tweets.
This tutorial should help you develop your own ideas of how to use photography and digital skills to produce interesting artwork. "If you want to know more," says Charles, "drop me a line. On Twitter (@thisismadeup). I will pick it up."

For the past few weeks, we've been swanning around the kitchen, making beautiful loaves of bread and savory pots of soup. Wonderful! So keep those recipes rolling in, please, please, please.
We're going to switch that combination a little bit today.
This time around, we'll have a (with a salad or soup) luscious whole-meal deal of a bread (this one will double as a dandy appetizer bread), plus a hearty, seasoned just-right soup.
Aren't we glad Marysville cook, cookbook author and longtime Forum contributor Dianne Berst originally shared this pair of how-tos with us in a Jan. 31, 2007, Forum column.
Italian appetizer bread
1 pound ground mild Italian sausage
Flour for rolling out dough
1 loaf (1 pound) frozen white bread dough, thawed
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar (7 ounces) roasted red peppers, well drained and sliced
1/3 cup pitted, sliced Kalamata olives, or 1 can (4 ounces) sliced olives
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
In a skillet, brown sausage until no longer pink; drain and set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll bread dough to 12-by-16-ounce rectangle. Transfer dough to a greased baking sheet. Combine cream cheese and garlic; spread lengthwise over center third of the dough, then top with the sausage, peppers, olives and cheese. Fold dough over the filling, pinching the seam to seal. With a sharp knife, cut slits every 2 inches across top of the dough. Brush lightly with water and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until loaf is golden brown. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Makes 16 servings.
Note: This bread also goes well with soup and salad to make a full meal.
Italian peasant soup
2 pounds ground Italian sausage, cooked and drained
3 carrots, peeled and shredded
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
3 quarts chicken broth (low sodium is fine)
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes
2 cans (15 ounces) white beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 cups penne pasta, cooked and drained
Salt and pepper to taste
1 bunch fresh spinach, large stems removed, washed well and drained thoroughly
Fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
In a large stockpot, combine the cooked sausage, carrots, onion, garlic, chicken broth, tomatoes, beans and basil; bring to boiling, reduce heat and let simmer for an hour. Right before serving, stir in pasta and season with salt and pepper. Ladle into soup bowls and garnish with lots of the fresh uncooked spinach and Parmesan cheese. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
Note: This soup goes well with Caesar salad.

Elderly Cleveland woman attacked and robbed
(Cleveland) - Police have arrested a suspect in an attack on a 91 year old woman.
Detectives say it happened at a home on Alger Road on the city's northwest side Tuesday.
Officers arrived to find an elderly female kneeling on the floor, bleeding from the mouth and the side of her neck.
The victim told police she was attacked by a man who entered her home through the back door. When she confronted him in a hallway, he punched her in the face knocking her down.
She said the suspect went upstairs, took her purse and fled the home.
The victim was able to reach a phone and call for help.
After interviewing neighbors, postal carriers, construction workers and UPS workers, investigators arrested 40 year old Dean Murphy Wednesday morning.
Murphy was arrested for aggravated burglary and theft, and remains in custody waiting to be charged.

By Terry Kovel
Don't forget to look in the back yard when you go to a yard or house sale. If the house is old, you may spot a concrete birdbath, an iron garden gnome, old tools hanging on a fence or even a log cabin playhouse.
Landscaping and outdoor decorating styles have changed through the years just as styles for houses and living rooms have changed. And a modern landscape can update any house.
During past centuries, trees and plantings were not placed near a house. They were far enough away to provide shade but not harm the roof. By the 1930s, a flat row of bushes, trees and other green plants were placed in a straight line against the house.
Today homes have curved beds and walks, colorful flowers in the front and back yards, paved seating areas, patios, fountains and other water features.
In the 1900s, Weller Pottery of Zanesville, Ohio, began to make "Gardenware." It was not part of the company's art pottery lines, but it has become popular with today's collectors. Weller garden figures include a pelican, a pop-eyed dog, a variety of frogs, hen and chicks, dogs, squirrels, swans, rabbits, ducks, a boy fishing and even Pan with a flute or rabbit.
The figures are about 19- to 20-inches high. They are all realistic. Weller also made a variety of large frogs with coppertone glazes — a bold green with large blotches — and some figural sprinklers and birdbaths.
All of these are popular today and expensive, many costing more than $1,000.
Q: I inherited four Gothic Revival side chairs attributed to J. and J.W. Meeks. I was told they once belonged to the White House and were used in Abraham Lincoln's Cabinet Room. How can I establish authenticity?
A: It probably is impossible for you to determine that the chairs were used in the White House during Lincoln's administration (1861-65). It is known that during the Polk administration (1845-49), as many as 24 black walnut Gothic Revival chairs made by J. and J.W. Meeks of New York City were purchased for the White House.
Lincoln used some of the chairs in his Cabinet Room (now the "Lincoln Bedroom"). The chairs are shown in the painting, "First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln." Four chairs are still in the White House collection.
First see if your chairs match those shown in the painting, on display at the U.S. Capitol (the image can be found online). If the chairs match, at least you can say your chairs are identical to those in the White House and were made by Meeks.
But without any additional history, it's unlikely you can ever prove the chairs were once owned by the White House.
Q: I found a metal bracelet while using my metal detector. It may have been silver-plated at one time. It has six links that look like shields. There's a different name on the back of each shield: Lorraine, Flandre, Normandie, Paris, Alsace and Bretagne. The word "Moutereau" is on the clasp. I would appreciate any information you can give me.
A: The words on your bracelet are the names of six French provinces. The metal is probably brass and would have originally had a silver tone. Montereau, not Moutereau, is an area in France. It could be the name of the maker or just the place it was made.
Bracelets like yours were made for the tourist trade and don't sell for much today. Some have enameled coats of arms and sell for a little more.
Q: We have an ax with a square hole in the blade. A small square piece with a circular hole in one end fits into the square hole in the blade. The words "Bell System" are stamped on the ax. Do you know what it was used for?
A: This type of ax was used by Bell Telephone linemen. The ax was used to cut notches into utility poles. The blunt end of the blade could be used as a hammer, and the square hole could be used as a wrench for turning square nuts. When the "small piece" is inserted into the square hole, it can be used as a wrench on round nuts.
Old-timers say the ax also was used to set insulators on poles or to install metal "steps" up the side of poles. Value: about $50.
Q: I'm preparing a program on piano babies for our doll club and have read several articles that say if the hole on the baby's bottom is big, the baby is "fake" and not original to Germany. Is this true?
A: There are several clues to spotting "fake" or reproduction piano babies or other ceramic figures. Early pottery and porcelain pieces have a smaller hole in the bottom than later reproductions.
The hole let gas out so the figurine didn't explode during firing. Older porcelain figures are heavier than newer reproductions because more clay was used to make them.
Reproduction figures, made from a mold cast from an original, are smaller because the material shrinks as it cools.
