Janet McGuire Hendershot says she was first bitten by the writing bug in high school when she won a prize for an essay on what it means to be American, a theme that would shape much of what she wrote about for the rest of her life.
Hendershot, a 73-year-old resident of Old Town since 1989, grew up in North Miami in the 1950s. It was a different time in America, she says.

LOS ANGELES - Lawyers Monday completed closing arguments in the case of a former Jet Propulsion Laboratory employee who claims he was laid off for believing in intelligent design.
An attorney for David Coppedge said his client was subjected to "stubborn and complete intolerance" of his beliefs while working for JPL. It was that attitude which hastened Coppedge's firing, attorney William J. Becker, Jr. argued in a month-long trial that pitted science and religion in a way that was sometimes reminiscent of the 1920s Scopes Monkey Trial.
In their defense, JPL attorneys argued that Coppedge, the systems administrator, had become a combative employee whose skills had faded. He was demoted by the lab in 2009 and fired last year as part of a downsizing at the facility in La Canada Flintridge.
"We have been in this trial for five weeks and there has been no evidence, just conjecture, that Mr. Coppedge was treated differently," JPL attorney Cameron Fox said. "What happened to David Coppedge had nothing to do with intelligent design."
Ultimately, Superior Judge Ernest Hiroshige will decide the matter. In doing so he will comb through more than a month's worth of testimony, as well written arguments yet to be submitted by attorneys for each side.
Lawyers in the case expect a final decision no earlier than June.
Monday's argument by Becker focused on whether his client's expressed support for intelligent design hastened his layoff in 2011.
Becker said there was no evidence that Coppedge coerced co-workers to watch the intelligent design and religious DVDs that he distributed and sold on the grounds of the science lab during his tenure.
Fox wrapped up her verbal arguments by claiming Coppedge was an employee who "lacked self awareness, who was stubborn and didn't listen."
Fox's closing arguments also poked holes in the arguments given by Becker.
Coppedge was laid off in spring 2011, more than two years after he filed an initial suit against JPL for creating what he deemed to be a hostile work environment. In 2009, co-workers began complaining about Coppedge's distribution of two intelligent design DVDs, "The Privileged Planet" and "Unlocking the Mystery of Life." Both videos advocate for intelligent design, a belief closely tied with the religious right wing. Coppedge's JPL supervisors considered the material to be religious in nature. The former JPL systems administrator also kept a running lending log of JPL employees whom he loaned the videos to, and an account of their reactions to the video.
His direct supervisor Greg Chin reprimanded Coppedge in 2009 after several co-workers complained about the distribution of intelligent design DVDs and his prior distribution of a religious video titled "The Case for Christ."
Fox said Coppedge's stubbornness thwarted Chin's attempt to warn Coppedge about his behavior and precipitated a dust-up between the Chin and Coppedge.
"(Chin's) attempt at a heads-up got hijacked" and turned "into an argument about intelligent design," Fox said.
Co-workers testified that Coppedge was combative and expressive about his conservative religious beliefs. He challenged Chin to an off-campus debate on intelligent design and engaged in spirited arguments around California's 2008 gay marriage ban ballot initiative, Proposition 8.
Following the 2009 incident, Coppedge's performance evaluations turned negative, according to court testimony.
Fox said Coppedge's layoff came because he "lacked the skills" skills as a system administrator, adding that Coppedge's skill set had become obsolete.
Fox criticized Becker's closing argument saying that it contained several "logical flaws."
In his closing arguments Monday, Becker said Coppedge was holding conversation about intelligent design and creation in much the same way others at JPL discussed traditional science. Becker added that nothing about Coppedge's behavior violated the policies at JPL.
"There's no policy against distributing religious materials at JPL non-work related religious expression is tolerated at JPL JPL has no policy about making someone uncomfortable," Becker said.
Attorneys for both sides continued to argue Monday that Coppedge's case is purely about wrongful termination and has no implications beyond being a case of employment law.
However, advocates of intelligent design and defenders of evolution have monitored the trial.
Supporters of creation science are directly involved with Coppedge's case.
Becker is an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, a conservative Christian group. Josh Youngkin, program officer in law and policy at Discovery Institute, which advocates from intelligent design and creation science, is assisting with the case of Coppedge's behalf.
The National Center for Science Education, which supports evolution and climate change education in public schools, has posted regular updates on the trial on its website.
The stakes in this case, according to NCSE, are high.
NCSE spokesman Robert Luhn said the creationist/intelligent design community would likely distort a win by Coppedge. Supporters of intelligent design would likely perceive a win Coppedge's wrongful termination lawsuit as a win against "Big Science."
Tennessee enacted a law on April 11 that allows science teacher to introduce "alternatives" to evolution to K through 12 students. Critics say the new law will allow teachers to present pseudo-scientific ideas, such as intelligent design, in science classes.

I'm hoping to find a long-term home for at least a year; or longer, if all works out well. I definitely like calm and quiet in my home environment, although I do enjoy relating with people when it happens, and having thoughtful and thought-provoking conversations. But basically I'm quite self-contained, independent and enjoy being quiet. Re shared areas; I believe I'm a very considerate, aware and respectful sharer of space. I leave the most minimal footprint possible and clean up as immediately as possible after creating food in the kitchen. As far as my life style/interests are concerned: I'm a teacher who recently retired from working with Indigenous adolescents in central Australia for several years, and before that in Wilcannia and northern NSW. I'm now studying a three year Dru Yoga Teacher Training course; I attend two Dru yoga classes a week, one a private class in Mullum, and one in Byron. I'm a regular volunteer at the Northern Rivers Community Gallery in Ballina (one or two shifts a week) I have my own income. I'm a creative who delights in the aesthetic in all aspects of living. I'm a keen gardener and enjoy planting food, herbs and flowers. I love eating good food and cooking, particularly different ethnic foods. I eat a vegetarian diet, but I'm not rigid about it. I guess if I were asked to encapsulate what I love and believe in, one word would have to be *diversity* and one concept would have to be *unity in diversity*. I'm a traveller and a seeker and always will be. Suffice it to say I can wax lyrical about things I feel passionate about, and act upon them as well.
I'm pretty easy going and like things neat and clean.
I enjoy yoga, surfing and meditation. I am passionate about food and love to laugh. The morning in my favourite time of the day. I work full-time in Lismore and would love to live in a nice place where I can relax and unwind around like-minded people.
Completing my Tertiary Studies and seeking some part-time work to pay for those extra little things.

i am friendly and polite. i am looking to share with people around my age and prefer females if possible. i work full time (trsineeship in Lismore) and have my own transport. Not really partying people and just after a safe quiet place with good people
Easy going, self sufficient, friendly and tidy, that's the dog, Salty. The human is OK too. I am interested in places in the general region, having moved to the area from far South Coast NSW. I am currently living at Numulgi in the hinterland looking after a house and some lovely dogs and I am intending to rent for a year or so while I get to know the region and choose a home to buy. We prefer to be close to a dog beach or in the forest but are also happy in town with a private leafy outlook and access to good dog walking spaces. I am active and creative and busy keeping up with the demands of a multi-faceted career. I make natural dyes and do botanical printing, I also work in adult education and professional and technical writing. I like cooking and baking, gardening and growing food. I am fortunate to love my work. I sometimes travel for work but mostly work from home or nearby workshop. A shed, roof, garage area or warehouse space I can use for workshop would be fantastic, especially if I could live in it! I'm good to live with because I am respectful of the space/time/social needs of others. I ask, listen and am able to express my own needs and perspective. I do not like drama. I make sure Salty is happy and other members of the household are comfortable with him and understand his cues and commands. Salty is pretty friendly, a desexed red Smithfield, he likes most humans and other animals, he walks away from drama with other dogs rather than be involved in aggression. I live a mostly healthy lifestyle, lots of dog walking and swimming - not much party these days! I still love music and dance. I drink alcohol now and then and I do smoke occasionally. I always make sure no one is offended or adversely affected by my smoking.
Hey! I'm a hairdressing apprentice in Ballina. Looking for somewhere I can feel at home! Smoking doesn't bother me, pets are cool, vego or not I respect your beliefs. Into footy (afl) and music! Smith St, Camp Cope, Johnny Cash. Easy to get along with :)

Judge orders freedom for alleged 9/11 plotter tortured on Rumsfeld's orders
March 22, 2010
A terror war prisoner, once considered of such high value by the Bush administration that former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld ordered he be tortured, has taken his first step toward freedom thanks to a federal district court judge, who ordered the government to free him after nearly 10 years of imprisonment at Guantanamo Bay.
Though 39-year-old Mohamedou Slahi, an alleged 9/11 conspirator, won his habeas corpus appeal before U.S. District Judge James Robertson on Monday, he likely does not know it yet. That's because the judge's decision was classified, according to published reports.
"After the [9/11] attacks, he was fingered by a senior al Qaeda operative for helping assemble the so-called Hamburg cell, which included the hijacker who piloted United 175 into the South Tower," The Wall Street Journal reported in 2007.
After being captured and imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, he was repeatedly subjected to torture by his American captors, with Rumsfeld himself ordering "special" interrogation tactics be set aside for Slahi.
"For a sampling of what Slahi experienced at Guantanamo, check out page 139 of the Senate Armed Services Committee's 2008 report into the abuse of detainees in the custody of the Department of Defense," Washington Independent reporter Spencer Ackerman noted.
The Senate report reads:
The memoranda indicate that, on several occasions from July 8 through July 17, Slahi was interrogated by a masked interrogator called "Mr. X." On July 8, 2003 Slahi was interrogated by Mr. X and was "exposed to various lighting patterns and rock music, to the tune of Drowning Pool's 'Let The Bodies Hit [the] Floor.'" On July 10, 2003 Slahi was placed in an interrogation room handcuffed and standing while the air conditioning was turned off until the room became "quite warm." The next day, Slahi was brought into the interrogation booth and again remained standing and handcuffed while the air conditioning was again turned off. After allowing Slahi to sit, the interrogator later "took [Slahi's] chair and left him standing for several hours." According to the memo, Slahi was "visibly uncomfortable and showed signs of fatigue. This was 4th day of long duration interrogations."
"He's been incarcerated, tortured and interrogated and rendered illegally," attorney Nancy Hollander told The Miami Herald. "After almost 10 years the government has not been able to meet the minimal burden to detain him that's required under habeas. He should be free."
However, the government will not be freeing Slahi any time soon. First, government attorneys must decide whether they will appeal Judge Robertson's secret decision.
Slahi's case is made more notable by the involvement of a key Bush administration whistleblower, Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Couch, a government prosecutor who refused to bring charges against Slahi after learning of his torture.
"I felt like what had been done to Slahi just reprehensible," Couch said during a Sept. 2009 interview with PBS. "For that reason alone, I refused to have any further participation in this case."
"Slahi faces no criminal charges," McClatchy Newspapers reported. "He arrived at Guantanamo in August 2002, nearly a year after he turned himself in for questioning in his native Mauritania in late September 2001 and found himself handed over first to Jordan for interrogation and then to U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
"He filed his petition for habeas corpus himself in handwritten English on March 3, 2005, on a form provided by prison camp staff."

Toshiba Establishes New U.S. Nuclear Business

Toshiba looks to help satisfy the growing demand for nuclear power in the U.S.
Nuclear power may have its critics, which argue that it
isn't a viable large-scale replacement to fossil fuels
, but enthusiasm for nuclear power continues to mount in the U.S. and abroad.
Also, nuclear is being embraced not just for alternative energy, but also for medical and research purposes. Worldwide need for medical isotopes was brought into sharp focus when a reactor in Canada was
forced to close, and then due to the medical crisis that ensued, swiftly reopen
. The end results is growing public support for nuclear-driven technology.
In the U.S. alone, electric utilities have announce plans to construct 30 new plants in coming years. Among these is NRG Energy's application, which was the
first application for an entirely new plant in 30 years
. Many of the new construction projects will implement sophisticated technologies such as advanced boiling water reactors (ABWR) and pressurized water reactors (AP-1000). These designs will offer additional improvements in efficiency, safety, and output over current designs.
Toshiba is looking
to jump onboard the burgeoning nuclear market. It
announced today that it has created Toshiba America Nuclear Energy Corporation
, a new company that started this month. The company, based just outside Washington D.C., will enhance the existing nuclear lines of business which Toshiba held. Its primary initial focus will be on promoting and marketing the advanced boiling water (ABWR) nuclear power plant design. It will also provide support for related services.
As the new company grows, Toshiba wants to expand its capabilities to include licensing and engineeering support for technologies to go into new nuclear plants in the future. Toshiba and Westinghouse, a Toshiba Group company have both been working to promote the ABWR and AP-1000 reactor designs. The new company will add more market and support resources to these efforts.
Toshiba's new company has a workforce of 30 employees. This number is expected to greatly expand, once construction on the various plant proposals in the U.S. begins in full, which is projected to occur around 2011. At this point, Toshiba explains, it will also add engineering support staff at liason offices near the sites of construction.
Toshiba and Westinghouse focus on the development, implementation and marketing of operation and maintenance (OP&M) technologies, technologies to keep plants running in peak shape. Toshiba America Nuclear Energy Corporation will rely chiefly on Westinghouse for these OP&M capabilities in America. The new company will also help network Westinghouse's construction management talent, which has been cultivated during construction projects in Japan. The company will also support older PWR and BWR designs.
Perhaps most exciting the new company will help to promote the 4S reactor design. This design is a small, and extremely simple and safe system, which offers great promise for distributed nuclear power generation. Toshiba also announced that it may use the new company to help participate in the Next-Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) project.
Toshiba calls nuclear power, "a cost-efficient long-term energy source, a powerful tool in the fight against global warming, and an integral part of a future hydrogen economy."
Its new line of business will also market nuclear power in Europe, Asia and North America.

The Tree Felling Village, later renamed into the Tree Revival Village, is a small and peaceful town once controlled by a dark demon called Black Shadow (影法師, Kagebōshi), who protected the village in exchange for human sacrifices every couple of years. The Tree of Life once stood in this village, but it was cut down by the villagers' ancestors many years prior to the beginning of Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja 4 because it blocked the entrance to a cave rich with crystals (known as the Crystal Cave), which they figured they could sell to make money.
At one point, a ritual was held in the village in which a brave villager would volunteer to become Black Shadow's sacrifice in order to protect the village. The last known volunteer was a girl named Aoi, whose true purpose was to find a branch from the Tree of Life to cure her sick mother, Tsubaki. The ritual is no longer in place thanks to Naruto Uzumaki, who made it his goal to save Aoi, defeat Black Shadow, and free the village from its nightmare.
A new Tree of Life has grown in the village (once again blocking the entrance to the Crystal Cave) because of a seed from the original, and now the villagers make money by healing the sick via the Tree's curative powers.
Black Shadow
Black Shadow was a dark demon whose only weakness was the scent of the flowers that grew around the Tree of Life, which once held the monster in place deep within the Crystal Cave. Once civilisation reached Tree Felling Village, however, the tree was cut down so that people could gain access to the cave and mine for crystals to sell. Because of their actions, Black Shadow was released from his prison and terrorised the village, demanding for human sacrifices, which he was given periodically for the village's sake.
Black Shadow's true form was a big black wolf with numerous tails, two snouts, five eyes and six legs. He was eventually defeated by the Konohagakure shinobi Naruto Uzumaki and Aoi herself.
The Tree of Life
The Tree of Life was a magical tree whose leaves and branches had the power to cure any sort of disease, even terminal ones like the one Aoi's mother Tsubaki had. The scent of the flowers that grew around the tree held the demon Black Shadow in his prison for many years, and many of their petals were stored in a necklace passed down in Aoi's family through the generations for protection.
The tree was cut down by the villagers at one point, but another one was gifted to the village, as a "second chance". It was found by Aoi and Naruto in the exact centre of the Crystal Cave.
On returning to the Forest of Delusion, Aoi explains Naruto about her listening to recurring voices, which possibly came from the Crystal Cave. She then puts a mission before Naruto. If accepted, Naruto and Aoi both head again inside the cave. They both remember the first time they met, and their past conversations. In the journey to the cave, Aoi guides Naruto to the source of the recurring voice.
When they finally reach the heart of the cave, Aoi again hears something, but this time, it seems to be very clear. Meanwhile, Naruto finds a seed at the exact centre of the cave. The voice asks Aoi to take care of that seed, as it belonged to the Tree of Life. Aoi describes the request to Naruto, and suggests that they should give the seed to the Mayor. Naruto criticises as he thinks that they would again destroy the Tree of Life. But ultimately, he agrees on giving the seed to the Mayor, due to Aoi's persistence. When both gift the old man with the seed, he feels guilty for the crime done by his ancestors and to compensate it, he promises to nurture the seed with all he could. Naruto expresses his opinion on the name of the village. The Mayor then declares the village's name to be permanently changed to "Tree Revival Village", as the Tree of Life would be revived in the village.

text: Because Nahla was present when Gabriel Aubry and Olivier Martinez decided to share the Thanksgiving spirit by pummeling each other, Child Protective Services will reopen the investigation into abuse they had previously opened when Gabriel went off on that nanny earlier in the year. Halle is also expected to go to court as early as today to get a restraining order and try to keep Gabriel away from Nahla forever if it were up to her. I think Halle is really upset that she has not been getting her way in this court battle. She is so used to getting her way and having everyone do everything for her at all times, that all of this losing must be surprising.

Ray Price out of ICU & denying death rumors
Listen to Ray Price on iHeartRadio
Ray Price wants his fans to know he's still around. The 87-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer is trying to dispel rumors that have cropped up claiming he's died.
In a Facebook post, Price credits his fans' prayers for getting him through his current medical ordeal. He's also asking "whoever is spreading this story" to "not rush" him, because "the end will come on its own soon enough."
The singer's wife, Janie, explains that Ray's condition has actually "improved so much" that he's now out of the intensive care unit. He was admitted to the ICU a few weeks ago after developing sepsis. Janie says the treatment was effective, but the blood infection caused significant damage to Ray's kidneys. She explains that Price is now staying at a physician supervised dialysis center so doctors can monitor his condition and see how well his kidneys are functioning.
Price, who also has pancreatic cancer, began experiencing kidney problems following a bout of severe dehydration back in the spring. The dehydration was attributed to a medication for his cancer, which Price has said is in remission.

• upbraid •
Pronunciation: êp-brayd • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb, transitive
Meaning: To chide, censure, mildly rebuke, reproach, or admonish.
Notes: Today's Good Word is a rarity: an English word that has always been an English word. We therefore have all the predictable English derivations: upbraider, the one who upbraids, and upbraidee, the one who is upbraided. The abstract noun and adjective is upbraiding, and the adjective sense of this word may be pushed to an adverb sense by adding -ly: upbraidingly. The strength of an upbraiding lies somewhere between a chiding and a rebuke.
In Play: English-speaking children should know this word for occasions like this: "If I get mud on my pants I'll only get a mild upbraiding and have to change my pants." No long-term grounding. We should begin to make distinctions that verbally abuse does allow us: "My wife upbraids me every time I light up my pipe."
Word History: The origin of upbraid is Old English upbregdan, composed of up "up" + bregdan "to braid, twist, turn; brandish". The meaning of this word somehow changed to "bring forth for censure" before the G dropped out. Middle Swedish obbrygdha "scold" from op "up" + brygdha "move quickly" behaved the same way. An archaic word based on this stem, abraid "wrench suddenly, to draw (a sword)", has maintained much of the original meaning. This latter word should not be confused with the modern word abrade "to wear down by rubbing". (Lest we earn an upbraiding from Patricia Waddy, let us now thank her for recommending today's Good Word.)

Parks Canada's underwater archeologists have been studying what remains of the ships in the waters off Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site since the early 1960s. For this dive, they are also gathering fresh, high-quality video and pictures for new exhibits and for a festival of all of Parks Canada's archeologists to be held during Louisbourg 300 celebrations this summer.
Jonathan Moore of Parks Canada's underwater archeology service said that after so many years on the ocean floor, what is left of the warships is mainly the remains of the lower hulls, which are embedded into the harbour bottom.
"You are not seeing a lot of structure above the sea bed," he said Wednesday morning, after the five-person team returned to the wharf in Louisbourg. "A lot of the heavier materials located in the lower-most reaches of the ships are laying on the seabed.
"A common thing we are seeing is cannons that were on the warships when they went down: cannonballs, cannon shot, bar shot — all of the kinds of ordnance that was on the vessels when they sank."
Some ship parts like some rigging, pulley components, stone and iron ballast are also on the ocean floor.
Underwater archeologists last visited the shipwrecks in 2008.
"We haven't seen any dramatic change, which is a good sign," said Moore.
Different visits to the shipwrecks can reveal new artifacts, like the discovery this time of fabric that Moore thinks may have been used as a waterproof sealing agent.
David Ebert, a manager of cultural resources for Parks Canada, said there are thought to be the remains of up to 10 shipwrecks directly related to the second siege of Louisbourg, including six studied by the underwater archeologists. Some of the six were scuttled by the French in a harbour channel in a failed attempt to block British ships, and some others were sunk by fire or cannon fire in the inner harbour.
Ebert said the destruction of the ships was a dramatic story that the underwater archeologists are helping to tell.
"We want people to be able to connect with that story," he said. "You can imagine gunfire going, ships on fire, people panicking as ships are staring to sink, and I think we can tell that story with the aid of what they are gathering."
Fortress of Louisbourg will feature the underwater archeologists and shipwrecks among the demonstrations and activities of the Land to Sea / Field to Lab Archaeology Event, July 1-14, that will be one of the highlights of Louisbourg 300 celebrations. Visitors taking in the event will have access to Parks Canada archaeologists from across the country.
"We'll talk about archeology across Parks Canada, from what we do in the Arctic to the Rocky Mountains to the forts in Ontario, to what we are doing here, because Louisbourg has always been a leader in archeology in Parks Canada," Ebert said.
Recreational divers can explore one of the shipwrecks with permission and when accompanied by an authorized guide.

This page is an evaluation of various places to study in Davis. Some are places of business, and others are just good spots to study uninterrupted. See also WiFi Hot Spots, Night Time (list of open-late places), Cafes, and Restaurants. UC Davis Student Affairs has a list of extended study hours for finals: http://sa.ucdavis.edu/finals_study_hours.cfm
Study hints from Psychology: Students who did best on tests were those who got sleep between the time of studying and the test. Students who stayed up all night and got no sleep did worse on tests than students who got sleep. The amount of study time was the same.
The reason for this is that sleep is necessary for memories to solidify. If you do not get sleep the memories do not stick. You can stay up and study but you will completely forget most of the information by test time. Those who got sleep recalled more information and were able to think more clearly during the test.
Studying for a short period of time everyday is better than waiting until the night before and trying to learn everything all at once. Cramming is an inefficient and mostly ineffective method of learning. Spacing out studying and learning a little each day will reduce stress, increase recall, and improve test scores.
This page hasn't gotten much attention since 2008. See anything that looks out of date? Please fix it! Know of other great study spots? Add them!
- Arboretum Terrace - Probably one of the nicest outside places to study downtown. This is not the real Arboretum, it's located on the side of what used to be Borders.
- Arboretum - The real thing.
- Map of parks in Davis
- ARC - Outdoor tables in front of the Cafe are seldom used, and when there are not events going on in the inside courtyard, it is surprisingly quiet. All locations have MOObilenet.
- Amtrak Station - The train station has lots of very pleasant and comfortable benches. It is almost always empty so the only disturbance will come from the occasional extremely loud train passing by.
- Shields Library - The inner courtyard is a great study area.
- Study Spot - Located downtown between Woodstock's Pizza and Red 88 Noodle Bar, it is open from 12-8 PM daily. There is free wifi, weekly public workshops, affordable private tutoring, and Friday potlucks. Bring yourself, either a dollar or a book to donate, and enjoy the community space!
- Mondavi Center's Quarterly Study Session - Held in the Yocha Dehe Lobby of the Mondavi Center, free coffee, plenty of outlets, tables, and classical music are provided once a quarter during finals week. Like Aggie Arts on Facebook for quarterly dates!
- Carlson Health Sciences Library http://daviswiki.org/Health_Sciences_Library - Over by the Veterinary School and the Aggie Stadium, this library always has tables, study booths, and even personal or group rooms you can check out for hours at a time available. Quiet and nice, find a seat by a power plug though- they can sometimes be hard to find. Wireless for UCD students with password and computers available for guest use.
- The Laundry Lounge - Here you have a couch and a few chairs. There are tables and chairs outside and they have FREE WiFi. Sit and study in a clean quiet environment, while you get your laundry done. Or have them do it for you.
- ARC - The Cyberlounge and Student Lounge are popular study spots with MOObileNet and campus DHCP ethernet ports.
- SLB - second and third floor indoor study lounges have lots of windows. There are also several small meeting rooms around the building that are often unlocked and not in use.
- Kemper Hall - The perfect place to go to get some work done if you are an Engineering or Computer Science major. Nice lounge area with comfortable chairs and some tables, as well a basement full of computers in the CSIF, which are accessible only to those who have taken certain classes in the department.
- Dorms LRC - even though you are supposed to have an access card, you can wait for someone to come out to get it! If you bring your laptop and an ethernet cable along, you'll have internet too!
- Shields Library - It can be loud during the day, but at night it's usually nice and quiet. Also on the plus side is the wireless internet available there, so you can surf the web with your laptop when taking breaks during long study sessions. Academic masochists may also enjoy using one of Shields' study cages.
- 24 Hour Reading Room - This place is technically part of Shields Library, but its open 24 hours. Its usually ultra quiet and not super conducive to group study, though it does include two rooms set aside for group work. The room is only accessible to students and requires a reg card to get in. All the tables include table-top outlets for whatever you need to plug in (very nice). Best part is that its always open.
- Griffin Lounge - Busy, but quiet.
- Davis Public Library - They have study rooms for 2 people or large groups(4+). Otherwise, plenty of tables and chairs for your use, but they aren't open very late on weekends.
- Your Desks - Study at home where you have the luxuries of all-night alcohol, TV, internet, food, and endless procrastination.
- Some apartments have computer centers or study areas, having created areas in their complex that are similar to common areas of dorms.
- Fahad's Apartment: 1100 Olive Drive, Apt 265!
- Max's and Tooj's Pad: 609 Anderson
Coffee shops tend to be more tolerant of studiers than restaurants. The basic rule of thumb is to buy something once in a while, so you don't actually cost them customers while you merely hog space.
The Good
- Common Grounds - Very tolerant of studiers - the owner and staff are quite friendly to regulars, including those who come to study (one customer does regular chess tutoring to kids here).
- Delta of Venus - Though there's always the danger of spotting a familiar face around Delta, afternoons are often pretty sparse and quiet, especially after the brunch rush on the weekends. While not in possession of many electrical outlets, the whole atmosphere is more open and more conducive to studying if you prefer studying in less cramped conditions.
- Mishka's - They are tolerant yet sectetly hateful of students. The owner personally told a customer that he "hates students" because they never want to buy anything. He continued that he only does this for money and the students don't like to buy anything. You must buy something to get the wifi code that expires in 2 hours. So if you're into contributing to a greedy, stingy business that's only in it for the money, this is your spot. The ambiance in there is spot on though, I must say.
- ARC Starbucks - This place is made for studying. It's huge and has tons of seating and tables. It's also clean and new.
- Cloud Forest Cafe - This place has a decent amount of room inside and on the patio for studying; it used to be a game room, after all! Also, the food they have — in addition to their awesome coffee — should keep your spirit fueled while you study. Plus, the staff is incredibly friendly.
While studying in a restaurant may not always be a good thing to do, some do promote study-friendly atmosphere.
The Good
Orange Hut - CLOSED
- One time I forgot when they opened and got there an hour early. The guy let me in anyway and cleared a table for me so I could study there. These guys are truly AWESOME. - MarieHuynh
- Crepeville - Decent, although don't abuse this. Word is that the management is increasingly frustrated with studiers who do nothing but order coffee and get free refills during peak times. If we want to preserve this place as a place to study, actually having dinner would be a good idea. And they have salads so huge, it takes about 2 hours to eat, anyway.
- Woodstock's Pizza - Very loud, but very tolerant and friendly
The Bad
IHOP - Not recommended. It's much easier to get away with merely reading, than doing homework. After about 5 coffee refills they get a little annoyed.
- Frankenbunny: I can't recall how many times I've been blown off just because I had my books out. Once, I couldn't even get a soda refill during my meal.
Study Parties
- Getting together with a group of kids to just straight up study can totally increase your motivation. Study parties can be an amazing venue for learning about people- NOT JUST ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE STUDYING. Anyone think of "Breakfast Club" when they read that?
Paid Space
- The Work Shop - Downtown location: upstairs at 213 E Street. Quiet, wi-fi, open floor plan, desks and shared tables available. Daily, weekly, monthly, night owl and weekender options. Try-it-out for 1/2-day for $5.
Field Guide to Study Spots
In Spring 2013 an undergraduate seminar compiled a field guide to study spots in Davis, including images, ratings, maps, and indicators for amenities like WiFi. The guide features several lesser-known study spots that aren't yet otherwise listed on this page. You can click here to view the guide as a PDF: Field Guide to Davis Study Spots Draft 6.pdf.

2006-03-03 06:27:58 The ARC is an excellent place to study on the weekends when the library is too far or too boring. Simply enter and sit in the couches at the front of the complex. It's extremely relaxing when there are relatively few people.
2006-08-02 16:40:17 I actually go to Borders every week to study, and I have never been kicked out; I've stayed there for about 3-4 hours maximum, and they are really nice about it. I think it was the workers at the time who were idiots (for all those with previous experience). And to the guy who got mad about the chess people: the lady shouldnt have kicked you out, especially if there were empty seats, but don't hate on chess players! Let alone the coaches probably paid borders. That lady was stupid, I hope she isn't there anymore. —MelanieDelacruz
2007-09-01 15:37:06 Delta of Venus is the place to study. No doubt. —JoshuaLee
2007-12-30 22:31:14 Is Borders not friendly to studiers? Really? When I was studying for the LSAT (granted, this was a while back), I would show up at Borders in the morning and order a triple white mocha and study there until the evening. This was my daily routine for three solid weeks. I would only leave for lunch and none of the staff ever said anything to me. And even now when I go get my coffee, I see people studying. Perhaps it is time to move Borders from the "Ugly" list? —CurlyGirl26
2008-03-16 02:18:00 One thing I learned from my many Psychology classes that really helped me out is that people do better on tests if they have a period of sleep between studying and the test. Sleep helps to solidify memories and make them permanent. It also makes you more rested to take the test. Those who pulled an all-nighter, did worse on tests because they did not have the period of sleep in between. You need to have a minimum amount of sleep to solidify those memories. Sleep is a wise investment of your time. —Jedron
2008-08-07 21:33:20 I like to sit in on other classes in large lecture halls while I do work or study, that way if I get distracted, I'm still learning something! —SunjeetBaadkar
2009-12-08 23:13:07 To add to the bit about Crepeville, I've gotten some pretty gross coffee after asking for a refill while I'm studying, even after I've ordered food. That was enough to get me out. —Patrick.M
2013-02-14 22:00:48 Are there any good place for group study, particularly with a whiteboard/chalkboard? I feel like Davis is lacking and whenever I try to study in a classroom, someone else comes in to use the class. —tiffng

When I try to install BT4 it can't read my partition.
I tried cfdisk and than I get this error:
FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 2: Partition ends after end-of-disk
How can I solve this?

here you go: Fatal Error? Bad HDD
this might help out.
pureh@te said: Our goal is to be a fearsome pentest distro not a windows replacement OS where we are trying to convert the world to Linux.
No no its good.
Ubuntu 9/10 can read it. Plus I have windows install on it and its working fine.
Are the partitions new and empty?
Did you check your md5sum of the download?
Do you know what you are doing?
It might be a good idea to check against the ubuntu forums for the same error messages.
Also a printout of the partition scheme might be helpful.
Well they are fairly new, not just new as in created a moment before I tried backtrack. But fairly new.
No I did not check the md5sum of the download.
Yes I know what I am doing.
No it works fine with ubuntu. But I wanted to install backtrack.
Well when I start it it only sees /dev/sda and thats it. But the table is there, its made.
Boot up an Ubuntu live cd or Knoppix, delete all your partitions than boot up backtrack and see if you have unused space in the partition editor
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
Obviously I can't do that.
Actually what is seemingly obvious to me is that you want us to pull the information out of you.
The above (# 7) post is not the least bit helpful like some of your other ones.
Posting the above info like I said from fdisk.
Also explain why you can't "do that". You have to help us if we are to help you.
No, its simple as I said. I have stuff on it. So obviously I can't delete the partition because than everything is erased. And I back it up somewhere else because its too large.
So what I was originally kinda asking for is a way to fix the error so I can use it. Without erasing my partition table. Because than everything is gone. Thats all.
Your partition table needs to be modified, however its configured now is obviously causing a problem for BackTrack. Try doing a resize of partition 2 using a recent Linux boot CD/DVD running something like GParted. Or try using some commercial partition editing/recovery software.
And Id make sure you back up at least your important files from the volume BEFORE you do this.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.

Lately I've been inspired by simple silhouettes with clean lines, unexpected co-ord patterns, quirky trainers and everything gold. Another thing that I (bizarrely) can't keep off my mind are dresses but not just any dresses, no body-cons here, no. I am simply obsessed with those sort of wrap style dresses - the super feminine ones - paired back with a man style button up shirt, or a cropped leather jacket. Right now my mind wants to put on a dress each morning but the only dress that it can reach for is my purple formal dress or sparkly high-neck-low-back 18th birthday dress I once wore - neither of them fit the bill.
About 1 or 2 weeks ago, a girl came into my work sporting an amazing dress that fit exactly what I was after. Usually I am pretty shy when it comes to those things and can't build up the courage to ask where he/she had got it from, but this dress was too good to be shy about. So I did it (feeling like a total creep, but I did it). And although I do wish that it was by someone generic brand like Topshop or Zara - only so I could get my hands on one, Anna gave me an even better answer: it was by her.
Exhibit A: The Perfect Dress. Wrap Style + White T-shirt sleeves already attached and a sly thigh-high slit.
Everyone meet Anna Fox. One talented student/designer from New Zealand. Believe it or not, she made that bomber and it does look immaculately laser cut but it is in-fact all cut out by h a n d. *gasp* Would it be too much to ask to get one made for me? haha if only! I'll be waiting until this girl has her own online shop, or is stocked at Tuchuzy or The Corner Shop - shouldn't be too long now.
What will be inspiring you this season?

About Me Advanced
I made the switch from a hyperlite subtle three stage to the mana and love it! The board is lighter and pops better. also it has a slightly rolled edge which makes spinning and playing a little more forgiving. Board is great for the advanced but also can be used by beginners. I love this board!
Ronix Mana 2011
By Xcsix
from Minneapolis MN
This is a great board. Cuts great and there is great pop off the wake! The board lands great and is forgiving....I have been able to pull out of dicey landings more then others boards I have been riding this year. I would buy this board again and recommend it to others.
This board is awsome
By Colby

So much better than My last board
Next level board
By JC
from Charlotte, NC
Night and day difference from what I have been riding. Ronix says this is the fastest board you can buy, I don't doubt it, it is screaming fast. It took me a few runs to actually get used to the new speed. Very forgiving too.
Excellent board
By Twig
from Wichita, KS
I highly reccomend this board. The first time I got up on it I knew I made the right choice. Cuts through the water like a knife and pops on any size wake, and the three stage rocker really gives you the extra air needed for tricks. Excellent board, two thumbs up!

In honor of James Joyce, I've spent Bloomsday carrying around a pair of doll's underpants. I encourage all Joyce enthusiasts to do the same.
Doll underpants figure in Ulysses as a signifier in Leopold and Molly's courtship—they're what the critic David Cotter terms "a fetish charged with a tension between extremes." As Molly Bloom recollects, she gave Leopold just such a talisman after one of their first dates:
so now there you are like it or lump it he thinks nothing can happen without him knowing he hadnt an idea about my mother till we were engaged otherwise hed never have got me so cheap as he did he was lo times worse himself anyhow begging me to give him a tiny bit cut off my drawers that was the evening coming along Kenilworth square he kissed me in the eye of my glove and I had to take it off asking me questions is it permitted to enquire the shape of my bedroom so I let him keep it as if I forgot it to think of me when I saw him slip it into his pocket of course hes mad on the subject of drawers thats plain to be seen always skeezing at those brazenfaced things on the bicycles with their skirts blowing up to their navels even when Milly and I were out with him at the open air fete that one in the cream muslin standing right against the sun so he could see every atom she had on when he saw me from behind following in the rain I saw him before he saw me however standing at the corner of the Harolds cross road with a new raincoat on him with the muffler in the Zingari colours to show off his complexion and the brown hat looking slyboots as usual what was he doing there where hed no business they can go and get whatever they like from anything at all with a skirt on it and were not to ask any questions but they want to know where were you where are you going I could feel him coming along skulking after me his eyes on my neck he had been keeping away from the house he felt it was getting too warm for him so I halfturned and stopped then he pestered me to say yes till I took off my glove slowly watching him he said my openwork sleeves were too cold for the rain anything for an excuse to put his hand anear me drawers drawers the whole blessed time till I promised to give him the pair off my doll to carry about in his waistcoat pocket

Prospect Q&A: Ranaudo ready for more
Red Sox 2010 first-rounder talks Yankees, pizza, college glory
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | January 27, 2012 5:00 AM ET
A right-hander from the Jersey Shore town of Belmar, Ranaudo passed up signing with the Texas Rangers out of high school in 2007 and went on to dominate for Louisiana State University, leading the Tigers to the College World Series in 2008 and '09.
An arm injury his junior year saw his Draft stock slip slightly, and it was the Boston Red Sox that selected him 39th overall in 2010 (he found out he was drafted when an LSU teammate tipped him off while on an airplane on his way back from Omaha).
A towering 6-foot-7 righty, Ranaudo made his professional debut last April for the Red Sox's Class A affiliate at Greenville before moving up to Class A Advanced Salem for the second half, finishing 9-6 with a 3.97 ERA and 117 strikeouts in 127 innings. Both Ranaudo and Boston fans hope the 22-year-old continues progressing this summer at Double-A and beyond, but for now, the righty is only focused on getting ready for Spring Training.
MiLB.com recently caught up with Boston's top-ranked pitching prospect to see why he's relocated to Baton Rouge -- living with a fellow Sox prospect -- and what prompted him to pass up tickets to see his beloved Tigers take on Alabama for the BCS Championship earlier this month.
MiLB.com: So, have to ask you about this first -- you scored tickets for the BCS Championship game and ended up selling them and donating money to a charity. Explain this whole situation (and our condolences on LSU's loss).
Anthony Ranaudo: A couple nights before the game, my younger sister was in town. I took her to a bar and grill and they had a raffle -- she wound up winning the raffle and it was two BCS tickets. I was going to take one of my buddies, but I had to sell them so I could hang out with them all and be a good host. I gave half of the money to my sister and with my half, I tweeted about it and people suggested I give the money to a charity. So I thought it was a good idea -- I said I would give one dollar to The Jimmy Fund for every follower I got on Twitter through Friday, and I got enough followers to cover the amount by Thursday afternoon. And I was supposed to go up to Boston for the event, but I had a friend getting married that weekend. It all worked out, it was pretty cool.
MiLB.com: How was your time at LSU?
Ranaudo: It was pretty unbelievable. I actually bought a house here this offseason in Baton Rouge, so for a kid growing up in New Jersey to move to Baton Rouge speaks measures for the experience I had, the people I met, the great experiences -- I've had time of my life, and I wouldn't change it for anything.
MiLB.com: You earned the win in the clinching game of the 2009 College World Series. What was it like being a part of that?
Ranaudo: It was something that everyone asks me about, "What was your best moment at LSU?" And it was the College World Series experience. To be a part of that team and get the win is something I'll always remember. The friendships and memories, going through Omaha -- it's all something I'll remember for the rest of my life. It was an unbelievable, surreal experience.
MiLB.com: Senior year of high school, the scouts are showing up with radar guns at all your starts. Did you start feeling the pressure and attention?
Ranaudo: I kind of went to a small high school -- the scouts coming out was a cool experience. I got a lot of attention from the media -- it was a great experience for me and I loved it. From a learning experience, I wanted to get drafted as high as possible, but I wanted to go to college and I know my mom wanted me to go to a big school. That's what I wanted, a big school with fans and whatever, so it was a cool experience. I knew I wanted to go to LSU. It worked out, and three years later I went through the process again and stuff I remembered from the first time, it helped me out.
MiLB.com: You dominated in the Cape Cod League before signing with Boston. How enjoyable was that experience?
Ranaudo: It was a really cool experience. I'd been up there my freshman year, but I was a spot starter and a reliever -- didn't pitch much. But when I went up there two years ago, I started every fifth day, had some good success, and we had a lot of fun. I think our team [Brewster] ranked No. 1 among summer teams in the county, so I made some good friends and had a good experience. I had a blast, had a great host family, and it worked itself out. I worked hard and the baseball part took care of itself.
MiLB.com: Boston drafted you in the first round two years ago, and, once you signed, you instantly became the team's best pitching prospect. Is that something that adds pressure for you?
Ranaudo: Not so much the title or hype, but more the opportunity to kind of make my way through the system and work hard and hopefully make it up there and contribute to the team and be a part of the team and history and tradition. That's what motivates me.
MiLB.com: This past season was your first in the Minors, and you pitched at two levels -- do you think you struggled at all in Salem after being promoted?
Ranaudo: I definitely went through some struggles. I hit a wall in July -- my velocity fluctuated a lot and I saw the results were a lot different. I wouldn't change it though. I learned a lot about myself -- how to pitch with three pitches, using my command and using it to your advantage. I had some ups and downs -- it was my first full year and I made though injury free, so that was my biggest goal. I was successful and learned a lot and I'm ready to turn the page and get ready for this season.
MiLB.com: What's the funniest moment you remember from this past season? Any good clubhouse pranks?
Ranaudo: In Salem, we had pretty good times with our clubbie -- he was a great clubbie. He would come in and pull some pranks, but one of the funniest things at Salem was when I came up. You hear the jokes about me being a first-round pick -- they give those guys a hard time. Before I got there, they cleared out two lockers next to mine, so I had three, and they put a sofa next to my locker instead of the folding chair. I thought that was cool, I realized they're here to have a good time, and it broke the ice. That's something I'll remember the rest of my life, it was pretty cool.
MiLB.com: Did you live with any host families or teammates during your first season?
Ranaudo: Yeah, in Greenville I lived with Brandon Workman and Sean Coyle, and in Salem I lived with Bryce Brentz and Mike Gleason. It was great, you learn a lot about guys and their paths and where they came from, guys who got drafted out of high school. Workman is from Texas -- it's pretty cool the friendships you develop. You become friends with other guys on the team, and I actually bought a house with one of the guys, Drake Britton. He moved from Texas to Baton Rouge, and now we're throwing partners.
MiLB.com: I think probably something a lot of Red Sox fans are watching is where you'll start 2012. Do you think you'll start off in Double-A Portland this year?
Ranaudo: I haven't heard anything yet -- no one from the Red Sox has talked to me about it, but I hope I start off there, I hope I make the most of it. I'm coming in as prepared as I've ever been. I'm in the best shape of my life, I'm really excited. I'm coming in strong and hopefully I'll make a good name for myself and earn a spot at Double-A -- that'd be real fun.
MiLB.com: What types of things have you been doing this offseason to improve? Any new pitches on the horizon?
Ranaudo: No new pitches, but after a full season, one of the biggest things was taking it easy -- you need to pace yourself. I took it easy with the conditioning and weightlifting compared to the past at LSU this year I think, and now I can push myself more in terms of conditioning and weightlifting. I feel a lot stronger and I'm in better shape. And in terms of throwing, I just want to work on consistency in my delivery and throwing down-angle fastballs.
MiLB.com: A great idea you had on Twitter, you said, "One day I want to wake up and commit to only talking in movie quotes for the whole day." Can it be done? What are some of your favorite movies?
Ranaudo: Yeah, I really believe I could do it. I find myself saying movie quotes to my friends, and they look at my like I'm stupid. And I've seen so many movies, on the bus and whatever, you just watch stuff over and over. I think it would be a fun challenge, I dunno if I'm committed enough to do it though. As far as movies, Wedding Crashers is one of my favorites. Old School. For Love of the Game is a great baseball movie, Bull Durham obviously. Those are a few I could probably quote with any of them.
MiLB.com: I have to ask -- you compared throwing a clutch 2-1 curveball for a strike to a well-placed grenade in Call of Duty. What's your advice for those of us who are terrible at the game?
Ranaudo: As far as Call of Duty, it takes a lot of practice. And fortunately in baseball, I've learned to love video games. In professional baseball, you have a lot of down time, you have to keep yourself busy. I've actually read a lot of books in pro ball and started playing video games. I've logged a lot of time with Call of Duty and I've become pretty good at the game, I think. I know every map, and it's the same in baseball -- you grow up playing the game since you're five or six, and you know big situations and know when you need to perform in the clutch. When you come though in clutch situations and make a big play, you have to embrace it when the moments happen.
MiLB.com: I saw you also Tweeted a photo of your dog -- when did you get him? What's his name?
Ranaudo: His name is Champ (pictured right). I got him last offseason around Halloween. He lives with my parents in Jersey, and they brought him down this offseason. He's a boxer, he's awesome. He helps me kill downtime -- we go to the park, hang out, he runs around the backyard. He's provided some good entertainment for the house.
MiLB.com: You're a Jersey Shore guy, being from Belmar. Do you watch the show, and were you a Yankees or Phillies fan growing up?
Ranaudo: I definitely do watch the show, every Thursday when it comes on. It makes me laugh -- they do a good job of portraying the true summer life down there. You look for people you might know or places you've been -- it's cool watching it. I'm an avid fan.
As for growing up, I was definitely a Yankees fan, a diehard Yankees fan, so it's pretty ironic being picked by the Red Sox.
MiLB.com: What's your favorite place to eat when you go home?
Ranaudo: The little pizza places that are holes in the wall, the homemade pizza places -- those are the things I miss the most. Every corner you go down, there's a homemade Italian or pizza place. I could sit there and eat three meals all day long.

Major League Soccer was graced by legend Pele's presence and that was a key point for the growth of their league. Soccer has always been the less popular sport in America, falling far behind basketball, American Football and baseball, but when David Beckham shocked the world and transferred to LA Galaxy, the MLS started it's rapid rise to become one of the world's most respected and talked about leagues. David Beckham still had the ability to test himself in the proven European leagues, yet he decided to go to the US for a fresh challenge. It was a success. He became one of the MLS' best ever players and helped the game to grow beyond its previous boundaries, selling millions of jerseys, too. Now many of the games top players decide to play their final good years in the MLS, or at least want to finish their careers in the new excited place to place soccer, America. Major League Soccer is also home to Real Salt Lake.

'"I think I am surprised, because it's a tough position for a young player," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff told ESPN.com after practice this week. "It's a tough position to be consistent for a young player. You can have stretches, you can have a good week as a young player, but usually that young player will drop off."'

Thurlow Nunn League preview: Dereham Town boss Henman sets six-point target after Wisbech win
PUBLISHED: 05:30 08 December 2012
Magpies boss Matt Henman believes last weekend's win at Wisbech Town will count for nothing if his side fails to get six points from their next two games.
Dereham Town's 1-0 triumph over their fellow Thurlow Nunn Premier Division title rivals has increased hopes at Aldiss Park of a serious championship challenge this season. However, Henman insists home victories over struggling Felixstowe & Walton United this afternoon and CRC next week have to be gained to keep up his fifth-placed side's momentum.
"Wisbech is only a good result if we win the next two home games," said Henman, whose team can go top if they win their three games in hand.
"We should go into the games with a lot of confidence and hopefully we can make sure we win a bit more comfortably than we did on Saturday, but ultimately we just want to get the wins. I just think (the win at Wisbech) it gives our season massive impetus. After some ordinary results and a bit of a wobble, to go there and win gives us huge belief, following on from the work we did against Norwich City."
Dereham will be hoping Kirkley & Pakefield, eighth, can do them a favour today when they entertain table-topping Mildenhall Town.
Royals' boss Paul Tong, who has been fending off interest in star striker Ryan Crisp, said: "We've turned down an offer from Leiston because we felt it didn't reflect his value.
"There's no animosity between the clubs – we've got a good relationship, but the offer wasn't enough. We've had a number of inquiries from local clubs but there are still League clubs sniffing around him so we will see how that develops."
Elsewhere, Norwich United host Diss and Thetford welcome Gorleston. In the First Division, high-flying Swaffham travel to Braintree Reserves, Fakenham visit Debenham LC, Yarmouth are at Ipswich Wanderers while Downham welcome Newmarket.
