Liberty Earns 4th Seed for Big South Women's Tennis Championship
The Liberty Lady Flames recorded a 6-3 conference record and have been tabbed the No. 4 seed for the upcoming Big South Conference Women's Tennis Championship. The Lady Flames will face No. 5 seed Coastal Carolina in the quarterfinals for the second consecutive season on Thursday at 10 a.m. in Rock Hill, S.C., at the Winthrop Memorial Courts.
In the 2012 championship, Coastal Carolina downed Liberty 4-0 to advance to the semifinals. Earlier this season, the Lady Flames routed the Chanticleers, 6-1, at the Hershey Tennis Courts.
The Winthrop Eagles earned the No. 1 seed for the third year in a row after capturing the Big South regular-season championship with a perfect 9-0 ledger in conference clashes. Charleston Southern finished the year with just one loss and eight wins in Big South play to claim the No. 2 position. Campbell notched a 6-3 league mark and garnered the No. 3 seed after earning the tiebreaker over the Lady Flames.
Following No. 4 seed Liberty and No. 5 seed Coastal Carolina, is UNC Asheville (4-5 Big South) at the No. 6 spot. Radford and Gardner Webb posted identical 3-6 records in Big South action, but Radford claimed the No. 7 seed after winning the tiebreaker scenario, while the Runnin' Bulldogs landed the No. 8 position.
Longwood (1-8 Big South) and Presbyterian College (0-9 Big South) round out the seedings in the No. 9 and No. 10 spots, respectively.
The 2013 Big South Women's Tennis Championship begins with a pair of matches on Wednesday and continues with quarterfinal contests on Thursday.

Kaplan Named Chief of New NIAMS Intramural Branch
Following a national search, the NIHs National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), has appointed Mariana Kaplan, M.D., as the Chief of the newly established intramural Systemic Autoimmunity Branch. Kaplan, a rheumatologist, will head a new research program focusing on adult rheumatic diseases on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Md.
Most recently, Kaplan was a Professor of Internal Medicine in the Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, at the University of Michigan, where she held several active NIH grants. Her research has primarily focused on the mechanisms by which cardiovascular disease is accelerated in people with lupus, the role of innate immunity in the development of lupus-related organ damage, and strategies to curtail tissue damage in people with the disease.
"We are thrilled that Dr. Kaplan is joining us," said NIAMS Scientific Director John OShea, M.D. "She is clearly a recognized expert in rheumatology, and we are excited about the prospect of expanding lupus research in the intramural program and NIH Clinical Center."
Dr. Mariana Kaplan
Kaplan has published more than 85 peer-reviewed papers in rheumatology and immunology, and has served on a number of editorial boards. She is a Fellow in the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and was awarded the ACRs Henry Kunkel Young Investigator Award in 2010. In 2011, she was selected to present the Edmund L. Dubois Memorial Lectureship at the ACRs annual meeting, an honor conferred upon an outstanding young investigator in the field of lupus. She is an elected member in the American Society for Clinical Investigation.
Kaplan graduated summa cum laude from the National Autonomous University of Mexico School of Medicine in 1992. Following the completion of her residency in internal medicine, she accepted a rheumatology fellowship at the University of Michigan, where she was promoted to Associate Professor in 2008 and to Professor in 2013.
"Dr. Kaplans appointment reflects NIAMS on-going commitment to both clinical and research activities in autoimmune diseases," said NIAMS Clinical Director Richard Siegel, M.D., Ph.D. "Her laboratory discoveries are changing the way we think about rheumatic diseases and opening the way for innovative therapeutic approaches in the clinic."
The NIAMS Systemic Autoimmunity Branch will combine natural history or treatment studies with basic investigations into the etiology and/or pathophysiology of rheumatic diseases, with an emphasis on systemic lupus erythematosus and other systemic autoimmune diseases affecting adults.
Trish Reynolds, M.S., R.N.
# # #
The mission of the NIAMS, a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health, is to support research into the causes, treatment and prevention of arthritis and musculoskeletal and skin diseases; the training of basic and clinical scientists to carry out this research; and the dissemination of information on research progress in these diseases.

I'm new to backtrack and linux overall.
My problem is that on my new acer AOD257 netbook airmon-ng don't show any interfaces. My connection however is working for surfing the web etc. ifconfig shows wlan0.
Tried airmon-ng start wlan0 and get following message:

Step 3: follow the suggestion
Step 4: enjoy
Tried alot of older forumpost with no luck, but found on post which finally did the job.
copy from post:
Here's the instructions that I wrote for someone else with the same problem awhile back.
Uninstall the aircrack-ng suite (airmon-ng is included in this) with this command:
apt-get autoremove aircrack-ng
Then download the sources from the aircrack-ng website here:
Extract the .tar file with this command:
tar -xf aircrack-ng-1.1.tar.gz
You will need to update some of the SSL-dev files so run this before building from source:
apt-get install libssl-dev
Enter the directory that was just extracted and then run:
make install
Reboot and everything should be good to go now.
You need to kill those 5 processes.
Afterwards, do a "airmon-ng check" to verify that they are not there.
Then, put your card in monitor mode.
airmon-ng check kill
I have the same issue. However I have a vmware player and running backtrack 5 on it.
What happens is that my HP 6710B wireless works fine in windows. When I start the vmplayer and run backtrack network also works fine but the ip address looks bit odd. I have set up my LAN in 192.168.0.* range whole in the VMplayer it seems to bridge to 192.168.2.* and sets the wireless connection to eth0.
Whe n I try to do some ettercap with the following command.
ettercap -T -M ARP -i eth0 /192.168.0.1/ // ( Trying to check all connections that go trough my router )
I get the following message and then nothing happens.

So then I start up driftnet besides and on my other laptop I go to google images but nothing shows at all.
Does this has to do with the fact we/I installed on vmplayer or so?
oh and when I check for WIFI it also shows for me nothing in the interface.
Thanks for your help.
Everything above is going smooth until i get to "Enter the directory that was just extracted and then run:

I am a 67 year old golfer and I need better distance control and precision on several holes at my mountain course that had been tough for me. This Adams 5 hybridis easy to use, always straight andmakes golf fun. I subsequently purchased the 3 & 4 Adams hybrids so I could retire the irons that were useless for my game.
I recently purchased this hybrid new and have been delighted with the performance. The 28 degree loft allows me to avoid green side bunkers and the consistent right hand spin brings the ball up close to hole. This club will definitely stay in my bag! Great value.
I use the 17 degree off the tee, and I kid you not, I don't think I've missed a fairway all year with it... and I suck at hitting fairways!
This club is impressive, 1st time out on first hole 194 yds to green over hazard. All 3 playing partners laid up, I was last to hit it right where I was aiming center of green,... then made birdie putt. This club rocked the rest of the round
Bought in very good condition looked like it was brand new,only small barely noticeable marks.

Vogue vs Dunham vs Jezebel
Recently, I have been caught up in thinking about Lena Dunham's photo-shoot for Vogue Magazine. I am an avid Girls watcher and a Lena Dunham fan: she's quirky, funny, sharp, and not afraid to say what she believes. So, of course, I was thrilled to see her on the cover of Vogue, a media source that would be far more likely to photograph the Giseles of the world than the Lenas. But a controversy began to surround the photo – a controversy not instigated by those who wanted to take a quirky intellectual like Lena off the cover, but by Jezebel, a website which considers themselves to have a feminist aim.
Jezebel quickly responded to the photos of Dunham with skepticism about the images, offered to …

Puffy areola
Puffy areolas are areolas that puff out when in a relaxed state. More commonly referred to as puffies or the misleading expression puffy nipples. Puffy areolas are characterized by a conical shape rather than a flat shape of her areolas. Puffy areolas can mostly be seen on small tits and medium tits rather than on big tits and very big tits. Puffy areolas do not tell anything about the sensitivity of her nipples.

We live in serious times. We're on the cusp of yet another war in the Middle East. Each day brings new stories about how national intelligence agencies are demolishing what's left of our private lives while delivering very little actionable intelligence. Chinese and Syrian hackers are attacking our most cherished media institutions. The gulf between rich and poor has never been greater, our schools are a shambles, and the quality of life for most of us is deteriorating while our politicians seem to be operating in an alternate reality.
But let's forget all that for a moment and focus on something more important: A soap opera is unfolding in Silicon Valley, and it's a doozy.

The common notion is that all people at the Googleplex do is work work work, 24/7/365, interrupted by occasional Segway rides to the closest gourmet buffet. That myth is about to be dispelled in a big way. It appears that Sergey Brin is smack dab in the middle of what some are calling a "love quadrangle." Here's the story so far.
Previously on...
Brin married Anne Wojcicki, founder of genetics analysis firm 23andMe, in a remote island wedding six years ago. Some months ago, Brin and Wojcicki quietly separated.
So far, no scandal. Well, it turns out the 40-year-old Brin has apparently been playing Google Doodles with Amanda Rosenberg, a 26-year-old marketing manager for Google Glass often photographed wearing same. (She apparently is the one who came up with the phrase "OK Glass" to activate the dingus. You can thank and/or revile her later.)
Meanwhile, Rosenberg had been dating Hugo Barra, another Google executive in charge of Android. Barra just left Google for a job with Xiamoi in China. Talk about taking a hint.
Now Google's embroiled in a controversy that has nothing to do with its insatiable appetite for all of our data, and Brin's private life is buttered all over the InterWebs. Welcome to the club, Sergey.
I don't normally like to make light of one's personal struggles (we've all been there), but when you're a $22 billion magnate who's decided to change the world in ways that may or may not be evil, depending on your mood, it comes with the territory. Consider it a power and influence tax.
Hence the venture into TMZ territory that this blog, along with many other tech media sources, is now taking. Hey, it beats talking about a twerking Miley Cyrus or whatever oversweetened concoction they're naming the next Android after.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
When you compare the resources available to most companies, it hardly ever seems fair. There are always those that have more people, a bigger marketing budget, more offices, more offerings, etc. Name any resource, and you're probably able to point out who has the upper hand and who has the short end of the stick.

 But the most precious of all resources is the one currency that's distributed exactly the same for everyone: time. There isn't another resource in the world with which we get that blessing.

 Imagine if time were a paycheck we all got in line for each week. My check, paid to the order of Bill Golder in the amount of 24 hours, seven days a week, is the same as yours and anyone else who happens to be reading this (and wondering why this matters). Whether you're Bill Gates or Bill Golder, the paycheck is the same. I have to admit I like the sound of that.

 As to why this is so important: In large part, we take time for granted and spend it like there's an endless supply. In sales, we spend time analyzing our competition—what they have and don't have versus what we have and don't have. Then we either fret too much over what we don't have or get too confident over what we do have. We create great brochures, podcasts, e-mail campaigns, and presentation decks emphasizing the areas in which we are resource-rich.

 While all are important, I would argue there isn't a greater resource in the craft of selling than time. Of course, how we spend that allotment of time each week is where the great divide exists in terms of the "haves" and the "have-nots." That one characteristic, I would argue, is what puts one group of salespeople on the wrong side of the tracks.

 As I think of all the salespeople I've known who consistently deliver, the one common characteristic is they spend their time on the right activities. Sales is a numbers game, but ultimately, it is how the minutes are spent versus how many cold calls knocked down in a day that makes the greatest difference.

 Oftentimes, when we analyze deals won or lost, it rarely comes down to product, resource, or price advantages as key attributes. It most typically comes down to positioning, time spent with the right buying influences, and credibility.

 I boil it down to how well time was spent on an opportunity. Most of the deals lost come down to things like time spent with the wrong people and time spent talking to the client about unimportant strengths. Essentially, lost sales almost always come down to time spent on the wrong priorities.

 The more complex the deal, the more choices a salesperson must make on the strategies and actions necessary to win. Those choices are all about where time will be invested and what people to spend that time with.

 In today's current environment, we are seeing more and more deals lost due to conditions that have changed over time. Initiatives that were once high priority have been deep-sixed due to missed earnings. Salespeople who can't efficiently assess and anticipate these situations are likely spending time on the wrong strategies and with the wrong people.

 Sales managers should think of themselves as advisors and experts in clock management for their teams, just as financial advisors are to those making decisions with their money. In football, the best coaches and quarterbacks are often excellent managers of the clock—a critical resource that's equally distributed to both teams.

 Great sales managers are no different. They make sure their team is focused on the right deals, and they constantly drive a consistent framework for evaluating and setting the right strategies on each one.

 The best sales organizations (and Miller Heiman's latest research study validate this) have invested in standard process of how their sales team engages with their customers—and they are outperforming their peers. They're winning because they have a common language that enables their salespeople and managers to more efficiently make decisions, coach, and ultimately execute better strategies to win.

 The study revealed sales organizations that organized standard processes and activities around opportunity creation, opportunity management, and relationship management significantly outperformed their peers in the areas of customer retention, new client acquisition, forecast accuracy, percentage of sales team achieving quota, and greater quantity of qualified opportunities in the funnel.

 Additionally, these organizations showed much greater effectiveness in areas like SFA and CRM adoption, as well as better identification of the best practices of their top performers. Simply put, they've made a commitment to put framework around how their teams will leverage their time to drive organic growth.

 Whether you're a sales leader or front line salesperson you should ask yourself if the time being allocated to you or your organization each week is being properly invested.

 With all the talk about fewer resources than ever, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact time is the one resource that remains unchanged. You alone can choose how it's spent…and whether it becomes your greatest strength or your least-leveraged asset.

WATCH: Taylor Swift's Alter Ego Promotes Upcoming 'Tonight Show' Appearance
Listen to Taylor Swift Radio on iHeartRadio
Taylor Swift isn't just appearing on NBC's "Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" this week. To promote her visit, the country-pop superstar's nerdy alter ego, Natalie, is making an appeal to be a guest on a show hosted by Fallon's character Sara.
If she gets the nod, Swift's bespectacled, braces-wearing Natalie would join the ranks of prominent stars who have appeared on "Ew," including Will Ferrell, Channing Tatum, and First Lady Michelle Obama.
Swift will be on "The Tonight Show" this Wednesday.


text: Was a tragic moment in my household. He was a good kid, not a thug as some suggest. He made mistakes that lots of kids make. He was growing up, and died defending his family...that's honorable in my eyes. R.I.P. Sean. I respected even more that this board changed colors to show respect. I still think that was better than any honor shown on the Redskins boards because this is a Cowboys forum. Lost a friend over that. When Sean first was shot he said..."I hope he dies"...I haven't spoken to him since (Cowboys Fan). I might dislike the Cowboys as a fan, but that's just disrepectful to me. I cut him off.

With a month left of my internship, the push is on for me to finish developing the performance evaluation and measurement framework that I was hired to develop.
Several interesting challenges have been encountered in the development of this framework.
The most interesting and frustrating challenge has been helping some members of management understand the issue and importance of alignment. Specifically, the performance measures chosen should be aligned with the organisation's goals and it is these goals that drive the development of the performance measures and not the other way around.

Mines graduates bringing in higher salaries
GOLDEN, Colo., May 11, 2011 – Even in tough economic times — it's good to be a Mines grad.
Friday 672 students receive degrees from Colorado School of Mines. While the nation's unemployment rate reaches record highs, students with a Mines education are more in demand than ever before.
Here's the proof by the numbers:
- Starting salaries for Mines grads are increasing 5 percent. The highest starting annual salary for a 2010-2011 BS graduate to date is over $102,000. So far the median salary is $64,739. Last year's highest was $95,000, with a median of $60,478. (By comparison, CU-Boulder's reported median starting salary is $46,200).
- Mines continues to be the top-rated public university in terms of starting median salary and mid career median salary, according to PayScale.com. Mines outranks UC Berkeley, Georgia Institute of Technology and CalPoly.
- Employers from all over the world have conducted close to 4,000 on-campus interviews this year.
- Many Mines students have multiple job offers, months prior to graduation.
"The increase this year in the number of employers from all over the world looking to recruit these graduates is amazing," said Jean Manning-Clark, director of the Mines Career Center. "I love representing Mines graduates because of their focus, passion, strong technical skills and their exceptional work ethic. Because of these attributes, these new professionals are enthusiastically sought out by companies."
Manning-Clark continually hears from employers about the value of a Mines education.
"The students are top-notch and are very well prepared. They have great resumes and often have had previous internship experience. Mines offers courses relevant to the technical industries that Mines graduates will be joining. Interns and graduates from Mines are highly valued," said a Northrup Grumman representative.
Colorado School of Mines' 137th annual commencement ceremony is May 13 at 9:30 a.m. on Kafadar Commons, 1500 Illinois Street, in Golden.
The Mines Board of Trustees will award 507 bachelor of science degrees, 149 master's degrees and 19 doctorate degrees. During the ceremony, Marcia K. McNutt, director of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), will be awarded an honorary degree.
McNutt is the first woman to serve as director of the USGS in the agency's 130-year history. She also serves as science advisor to the United States Secretary of the Interior.
McNutt's commencement address is titled "Meeting the Nation's Needs for Scientists and Engineers: It Really IS Rocket Science!"

Pixel Lab 2013 projects named
Power to the Pixel has selected more than 30 participants for its cross-media workshop.
A total of 16 cross-media projects from across Europe have been chosen to take part in the annual Pixel Lab, taking place in Wallonia in Belgium at the end of the month.
Now in its fourth year, it offers media professionals a six-day workshop on how to create, produce and distribute cross-media stories that can engage audiences as well as monetise.
Participants include 16 international producers showcasing projects that incorporate film, gaming, mobile, publishing, live events, interactive, TV and online as well as 15 media professionals from across the industry.

The residential week at the end of June is the beginning of a four-month process. From June to September, producers will continue their work with Power to the Pixel heads, Liz Rosenthal and Tishna Molla, on project strategy.
The Pixel Lab culminates at PttP's Cross-Media Forum in London in October, when one producer will be awarded The Pixel Lab Prize, after a presentation of the projects to a jury of industry leaders.
In addition, up to three producers will be selected to present their project at TorinoFilmLab's Final Meeting Event held during the Turin Film Festival in November.
The Pixel Lab tutors this year include Michel Reilhac, Artistic Advisor for Venice Biennale College (France), Lance Weiler, Cross-Media Pioneer and story architect (US), Sean Coleman, cross-media writer and producer (UK), Diana Elbaum, Managing Director & Producer, Entre Chien et Loup (Belgium), Michelle Kass, film and literary agent of Michelle Kass Associates (UK) and Loc Dao, Head of Digital Content & Strategy, National Film Board of Canada. Other experts taking part include Nuno Bernardo, CEO and producer of beActive (Portugal), Adam Sigel, Content Strategist, Writer & Producer (US), Peter De Maegd, Founder & Producer, Potemkino Films (Belgium), Thomas Howalt, Creative Development Manager, Square Enix (Denmark), Inga von Staden, Media Architect & Educator (Germany), Nathaniel Hill, Director of Strategy, Hypernaked (UK) and Media lawyers Christoph Fey, Unverzagt von Have (Germany) and Shona Harper, Dentons, EMEA (UK).
The Pixel Lab is supported by the MEDIA Programme of the European Union, TorinoFilm Lab and Creative Skillset's Film Skills Fund, which is funded by the National Lottery via the BFI and through the Skills Investment Fund, which comprises industry and government co-investment.
PttP also announced earlier this year that The Pixel Lab would benefit from two new funding partners following new partnership agreements with European funding body Creative Wallonia and Wallimage CrossMedia.
The Pixel Lab will run from June 30 to July 6 at the Château du Lac in Genval, Belgium. Producers attending with a project attend a second workshop run in London in tandem with PttP's Cross-Media Forum, from October 14-17 held in association with the BFI London Film Festival.

Susan Sarandon in The Meddler

Susan Sarandon has been playing mom for years. Stepmom, Tammy, Speed Racer, even the half-baked About Ray, click here to see Sarah's review, it's not something she shies away from… and it's something she embraces in The Meddler, the most well-rounded and true-to-life mother figure she's ever played. Full Story
TIFF Review: About Ray
George Pimentel/ Amanda Edwards/ Getty Images
I feel bad sh*tting on About Ray, but…I'm going to sh*t on it—it's not very good. Starring Elle Fanning as transgender teen Ray and directed by Gaby Dellal (Looking), About Ray is more about everyone else talking about Ray than Ray himself. It's a standard wacky family coming of age story, except the quirk is that Ray is transitioning from female to male, which sends his flighty mom into a panic as he needs both parents signatures before beginning the medical process of transitioning, and they haven't seen or heard from Ray's dad in a decade because of something his mother did.

Wong Kar-Wai's The Grandmaster (now presented by Martin Scorsese) screened in New York last night.

Susan Sarandon had lipo
There's a feature on Susan Sarandon in the new issue of PEOPLE. She talks about aging in Hollywood. You can read most of it here. I like the part where she talks about how there are a lot of guys out there who are attracted to interesting women. Because their mothers raised them to be. Full Story
Still sexy, always sexy
Susan Sarandon was in Toronto earlier this week at the opening of SPiN, the ping-pong social club she's been supporting for a while in New York. Ping-pong is a big Hollywood deal these days. All the parties I've been to this year, there are ping-pong tables set up and famous people lining up to play, vigourously. Full Story
Geena & Susan: on women in film, and Brad too
Thelma & Louise were in Toronto last night to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the film at an event in support of the Women's College Hospital Foundation. I wish I could have been there. Did you go?

Tigerville, S.C. - Josh Roper had 20 points in the first half en route to a 30-point performance against the Crusaders and Jermichael Tanner hit several clutch free throws down the stretch as the Tornados survived a 21 of 23 (91.3 percent) effort from the free throw line in the second half by North Greenville in winning, 97-88 on Saturday afternoon.
Roper went 12-19 (63.2 percent) from the floor and 6-11 from behind the arc in leading the Tornados (1-1) with 30 points. He was joined in double-figures by four teammates as Brevard shot 57.6 (34-59) percent from the floor in the game. Jonathan Whitson had 10 points and led the team with seven rebounds in the contest, while Darin Dellinger had 15 points, including six key free throws down the stretch. Jacques Dovonou added 14 points as well as tough defensive play and Nathan Whitmire added 11 points off the bench in 20 minutes play.
North Greenville (1-2) was led by Kyler Vitko, who had 17 points in the second half as the Crusaders mounted a comeback, in scoring 21 in the contest. Paul Harrison added 17 points, and Luke Lattimer and Zack Shields were also in double-figures for North Greenville.
The Tornados opened the game with a 13-5 run spanning the first 4:53 of the opening half as Dovonou put in five points and Roper added a layup and a three-pointer. North Greenville clawed back into the game, cutting the lead to 13-12 behind a three-pointer by Luke Lattimer after baskets by Harrison and Vitko. Brevard again went on a pair of runs, going up 21-13 at the 10:35 mark and 41-31 with 4:37 to play.
The Crusaders brought the game back to within five at 45-40 with 1:14 left in the first half behind a pair of free throws by Jamaal Pryor, but Brevard would go into the locker room after three-pointers by Whitmire and Shane Galloway with the 11-point advantage at 51-40.
The lead was extended to 16 in the second half as Drew Schauss pulled down the offensive rebound and went back up to put the score at 71-55 with 12:27 to play. North Greenville brought the game back within single digits with 8:08 left on the clock as Vitko poured in 11 of the Crusaders 14 points during a four minute stretch, connecting on seven of eight from the charity stripe to bring the game back within five at 74-69.
The Tornados would win the game from the free throw line as Dellinger and Tanner combined to hit nine of the Tornados last 11 points from the stripe to give the visitors the win, 97-88.
Brevard is back in action next weekend for their first home game of the season as the Tornados host Limestone College on Saturday, November 28th. Tipoff between Brevard and Limestone is set for 4 p.m. in Boshamer Gymnasium.

University is catalyst for excellence in K-12 through college education
Carolina's seven major academic initiatives will be celebrated during the week of each home football game this season. The fifth -- in the week leading up to the Carolina vs. Vanderbilt game on Oct. 24 -- is the University's Impact on Education, K-12 through college.
The University of South Carolina is dedicated to the high achievement of all learners, the preparation of successful teachers and administrators, and the development of an educated populace.
Whether it's preparing K-12 teachers, providing materials to boost learning in the classroom, or supporting outreach programs that increase student success across the state, the University brings together theory, research, and practice to promote excellence in education.
The College of Education offers undergraduate degrees that lead to certification in early childhood (PreK-grade 3), elementary (grades 2-6), middle level (grades 5-8), and physical education (grades K-12), and an undergraduate degree in athletic training.
The College of Education also supports numerous outreach programs, including the S.C. Physical Education Assessment Program, administered by the Department of Physical Education in the College of Education. This program assesses school physical education programs in the state. In-service and training programs for teachers related to standards and assessment also are offered.
The Children's Center provides a program of high quality, developmentally appropriate care and education for young children (infancy through age five) of University families. Enrollment at the Center is representative of the University community and well-suited for demonstration, research, and the professional preparation of teachers of young children. In addition to the preparation of early childhood education professionals, the Center serves as a child study laboratory for students from art, music, physical education, psychology, journalism, and speech and hearing. It also serves as a training site for childcare programs in the area.
Other College of Education outreach programs include the Midlands Writing Project, a collaborative program with school districts throughout the Midlands of South Carolina, which is dedicated to improving the teaching of writing in all classrooms Pre K-12.
Many other undergraduate teacher education programs exist within the University, and they all support prospective teachers in developing both in-depth content knowledge and appropriate knowledge, skills, and dispositions of teaching required in today's classrooms. Extensive clinical experiences in a variety of appropriate PreK-12 classrooms and schools are a central component of each program.
These programs include K-12 music education in the School of Music; 7-12 business and technology education in the College of Hospitality, Retail, and Sport Management; and K-12 programs of art education, dance (concentration in dance education), and foreign language (teacher education options in Classics, French, German, and Spanish) in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Project Lead the Way, a program within the College of Engineering and Computing, offers high school and middle school teachers in South Carolina the chance to attend classes in the college to learn new techniques for teaching engineering fundamentals to their students. It's part of a national program that's focused on getting more pre-college students interested in engineering careers. The program trains high school teachers and guidance counselors and allows high school students to earn up to six college credits. Project Lead the Way also addresses nationwide concerns about declining engineering enrollments and what that might mean for the nation's future. In South Carolina, the program puts engineering and engineering technology subjects in the high school and middle school curricula, and gets students thinking about career opportunities they might never have imagined.
The S.C. Geographic Alliance is an initiative of the Department of Geography. The alliance provides the state's K-12 educators with professional development support that includes workshops, seminars, and high-tech teaching aids. More than 7,000 South Carolina educators are members of the Geographic Alliance.
Biographical Imaginations is a program sponsored by the Department of Educational Psychology that brings history to life through presentations at elementary, middle, and high schools. Dressed as South Carolina teachers from the 19th and early 20th centuries, actors present theatrical programs in the schools that re-create classrooms in the early days of education.
Junior Achievement is a students-helping-students volunteer program that pairs K-12 students with graduate students in Carolina's MBA/IMBA Student Association in the Moore School of Business. The graduate business students receive training and teaching materials from the Junior Achievement Office in Columbia, then select from elementary, middle, and high schools near the University that have requested Junior Achievement volunteers. In the classrooms, the USC student volunteers lead local K-12 students in business-related activities appropriate for their grade level. Topics include how businesses operate, how they price and market their products, and how they hire and train their personnel. The activities and discussions are designed to teach basic business skills and concepts used in business and a free-enterprise system.
The University's libraries also are committed to the goal of preparing educators and students. The University's science librarians provide building tours and bibliographic instruction sessions for science classes from state high schools and colleges. Carolina's Science Library annually assists junior and senior high school students with their Science Fair projects through a special collection of books and materials for on-site patrons and a Web page for off-campus access. K-12 teachers and media specialists can make appointments with USC reference librarians to learn how to use reference resources in the University's Thomas Cooper Library. The reference department also conducts tours for school groups and other visitors.
The University also provides classroom materials online for easy access and use by teachers across the state. The Center for Science Education, the marine ecological forecasting Helmuth Lab, and the Lithospheric Seismology Lab are a few examples of these active K-12 science education programs.

Spitters Are For Quitters, Justin Bieber [PHOTO]
Justin Bieber really shared how he feels about his fans while hanging out on his balcony in Toronto. No, he did not profess his love for them instead, he spit on them!
It is being reported that Justin Bieber and his friends were spitting from their hotel balcony onto adoring fans below! (Um… EW!)
Maybe his fans collected the spit and are planning to sell it for good money? Whatever they plan on doing with his DNA, Justin shouldn't have done that. His Beliebers are his lifeline!
Who do you think is buying all those concert tickets and Bieber merchandise?! This was truly a display of ungratefulness on Justin's part.
As the whole thing was going down Justin took to Instagram to film the fans below who were being showered with saliva.
You would think his fans would get mad, but instead they are still by his side supporting him. Who knows what Justin will throw off his balcony next…hopefully it wont be coming out of another hole, if you know what we mean. Yikes!

3rd U.S. President 1801-1809
LIFETIME: 1743-1826, of Welsh ancestry
PRIMARY RESIDENCE (top left and center): " Monticello " in Charlottesville VA - influenced by French Neoclassic and Italian Palladian architecture, the three-story mansion has nine bedrooms plus a room in the dome
RETREAT (right): " Poplar Forest " in Forest VA - one of the earliest octagonal houses in America with Palladian style porticoes and Tuscan columns
MINIATURE ROOMBOX of THOMAS JEFFERSON'S BEDROOM/STUDY
Monticello - which means "little mountain" and is one of this country's foremost architectural masterpieces - was designed by Thomas Jefferson, a man of extraordinary talents. Jefferson was well-versed not only in government and diplomacy, but also philosophy, music, architecture, and horticulture. His ingenuity extended to the exterior landscaping which included ornamental and vegetable gardens, orchards, vineyards, and over 160 varieties of trees.
Built on 1,000 acres of the 3,000 inherited from his father, Monticello 's design reveals Jefferson 's love of the graceful lines and domed contours of classical architecture. Neoclassism became fashionable in late 18 th century America, influenced by the Italian archaeological excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum .
To escape the constant stream of visitors, Jefferson also designed and built a small retreat called Poplar Forest . This octagonal house was set in the midst of a 4,812 acre working farm. The living space occupied one floor in a series of elongated octagons surrounding a central cube. Jefferson delighted in Poplar Forest, calling his villa "the best dwelling house in the State."

An article in todays New York Times Magazine by Rob Walker " Consumed - Remixed Messages " is, to me, a perfect example of how the process of postmodernization functions.My take on this article is to ask: "Why do we moderns seem so random and un-tethered at times?" Because we don't know, remember, or think to ask: where did this slogan, image, and perspective come from?The definition of postmodernism postmodernism is as contested as the field it seeks to define.

Robert Knapp has had the same primary care physician through Memorial Healthcare IPA since 1998. Before that, the 65-year-old saw only one other doctor for years, until that doctor retired.
But because his insurance carrier, Blue Shield, has terminated its contract with Memorial Healthcare IPA, Knapp will no longer be able to see his doctor after June.
"I'm very, very happy with my doctor. He's got an excellent reputation and he's easy to work with," said Knapp, a retired Compton police officer who's had health issues ranging from knee and heart troubles to cancer. "I don't want to start all over again. I don't know why they have to do this."
Knapp is among the more than 11,000 Memorial Healthcare IPA patients affected by Blue Shield's decision.
Earlier this year, OptumHealth, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group, a for-profit, publicly traded health care company that also owns UnitedHealthcare, acquired Memorial Healthcare IPAs, which includes Acclaim IPA, Anaheim Memorial IPA, Orange Coast IPA and Memorial Health Care IPA.
Steve Shivinsky, spokesman for Blue Shield of California, said United has a track record of aggressively seeking maximum value for its shareholders.
"This approach is inconsistent with our strategy of working collaboratively with providers to reduce health care costs and pass those savings back to customers," he said. "In addition, United's acquisition of provider groups creates a conflict of interest that will inevitably put other health plans that contract with those providers at a competitive disadvantage."
As a result, Blue Shield of California issued a 180-day termination notice with Memorial effective June 2.
"The impact to our patients is tremendous," said Kurt M. Tamaru, Chief Medical Officer for Memorial Healthcare IPA. "For seniors who are part of Medicare Advantage Plan, those members can only go to their plan once a year. ... For commercial members, you only get one carrier of choice, so if your carrier is Blue Shield and that's all there is, you have no other choice to move to, so you're going to have to move to another doctor. Some doctors have multiple contracts, but for the most part, a majority of those doctors are in the network. It's going to be a hard time for members to access their doctors."
Shivinsky said Blue Shield will work closely with its HMO/POS and Medicare Advantage members to help them keep their doctors or to transition to other quality physicians in their area if necessary as the termination date approaches. He added that Blue Shield will assist members who have continuing medical conditions that require uninterrupted treatment to continue to see Memorial physicians consistent with regulatory requirements.
"Blue Shield's network includes many other high quality medical groups in the same geographic area which are available to provide care to our members," he said. "Many of the Memorial primary care physicians are already affiliated with alternate medical groups in the area and their members will remain with their current PCP at the new medical group. Many of the alternate medical groups are now in the process of contracting with more Memorial PCPs."
Tamaru said Memorial is committed to affordable health care and partnered with Optum in February to help doctors collaborate and enhance patient care with innovative technologies and tools.
"Essentially, our goal here at Optum is to build an integrated, coordinated health delivery system and make health care affordable for all," Tamaru said. "If we can create a system ... we believe that that's going to make it that much affordable for everyone."

The mascots of the London Olympics, named Wenlock and Mandeville.
And to take advantage of the sickness of Mandeville's daughter, at that; I can hardly believe it of him.
It is the same with the fabulous travels of Jean de Mandeville.
They had held land in Cambridge for over 100 years of the gift of the earl of Mandeville.
In Mandeville, and in Kaye, it is presented only in its barest and starkest form.
The English translation of the Travels of Mandeville enjoyed still greater popularity.
It will be some relief to see Mr. Mandeville alone; but even then how shall I meet him?
Mandeville affirms that he was descended of an ancient and noble family, and was born at St Albans.
I wish Mandeville would travel more, or that he had stayed at home.
He has set up a factory, thirty miles from Mandeville, in the valley of the Black River.

We have an event listing website and wish to send newsletters to our subscribers with events in their area. Meaning each newsletter needs to go to a database and pull in data for each email that is sent.
Since the event data is not part of the subscriber record we cannot really use "merge tags" as offered by some email marketing providers.
Is there a hosted or even server based software package anyone would recommend?
Thank you
mailchimp maybe? what most ppl use.
mailchimp is great
It's good when the data can be stored in the subscriber record but not when the data is in another table. That is my issues. The data we are dealing with is event data like concerts, etc. Which always changes of course.
The system we are looking for is needing to have the ability to go into a table and get data
Not sure exactly what you mean by tables, but it sounds like you might want more advanced email marketing software with data integration.

Families of September 11 is shocked and saddened to learn of the aircraft crash in New York City today. We send our heartfelt condolences to those who were affected, and commend the many rescue workers and fighter pilots who responded so admirably.
The crash underscores our continued vulnerability, to accidents and to terrorism. Nearly half of the 9/11 Commission recommendations have not been implemented, including aviation security reforms, building safety upgrades and communication capabilities for first responders. Today's events highlight the need to implement all 41 of the 9/11 Commission recommendations immediately.
Aircraft disasters are traumatic for all, this one especially, given the circumstances. We recommend people take time out to care for themselves after today's event and remember the shock, anxiety and fear one may feel are natural responses. If you need assistance, please contact the toll-free mental health hotline at (800) LIFENET.

Hacks Britannica: Reviving an Olympic Tradition of CrapnessBy Rafil Kroll-Zaidi
At the 1904 St. Louis Olympics, to which Britain did not send a delegation but at which it did earn two medals by virtue of owning Ireland, the first-place finisher in the marathon, a New York City bricklayer, was disqualified for having covered eleven miles of the course by automobile. The runner-up, a British-Bostonian brazier competing for America, whose trainers had administered him strychnine and brandy and egg whites and who had been borne along by officials for part the race, was declared the victor. At the 2012 London Olympics, in a video clip shown during the opening ceremony, the comic actor Rowan Atkinson (as Mr. Bean) was digitally inserted into the beach run that opens Chariots of Fire; imagining the scene as a race, Atkinson flags, veers offscreen, then overtakes the other runners in a car, rejoining the pack just in time to win.
Such filmed-to-order interludes, which cutely recontextualize iconic personages for special occasions, are familiar from Academy Awards broadcasts, and their appearance in a live Olympic commencement marked conspicuously the London show's direction by British filmmaker Danny Boyle. Read More

Prostate cancer is cancer that occurs in a man's prostate — a small walnut-shaped gland that produces the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. Prostate cancer usually grows slowly and initially remains confined to the prostate gland, where it may not cause serious harm. While some types of prostate cancer grow slowly and may need minimal or no treatment, other types are aggressive and can spread quickly.
Prostate cancer that is detected early — when it's still confined to the prostate gland — has a better chance of successful treatment.

Dallas County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan
Dallas County Hazard Mitigation Action Plan (HazMAP) APA November 2015
FEMA Local Mitigation Handbook
Employees may access the text of the Hazard Mitigation Action Plan through the "Employee Access" page of the Dallas County Homeland Security and Emergency Management website.
Frequently Asked Questions
• What is the Hazard Mitigation Plan Update?
Hazard Mitigation planning is a proactive effort to identify actions that can be taken to reduce the dangers to life and property from natural hazard events. Dallas County adopted a hazard mitigation plan in 2009 and FEMA regulations require that the plan be updated every five years.
The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires that a community have an approved hazard mitigation plan in order to qualify for federal funding from the following grant programs. Some of the grant programs available include:
• What goes into a hazard mitigation plan?
A hazard mitigation plan assesses the community's risks and vulnerabilities to natural hazard events such as flooding, hurricanes, winter storms, and earthquakes. Each jurisdiction uses statewide data and information obtained directly from the community to make this assessment.
The plan includes a set of goals related to the overall goal of hazard mitigation planning, an assessment of existing mitigation measures, and a set of new mitigation measures that will serve to advance the plan goals. The plan update will also look at implementation progress that has been made on mitigation measures from the previous plan.
• How can the public become involved in the Hazard Mitigation planning process?
Public participation is very important to the hazard mitigation planning process. FEMA requires a minimum of two public meetings. Dallas County has developed a Hazard Public Survey to allow the public to provide input and comments to the hazards in their communities. Additional comments may also be submitted through this webpage. A draft version of the updated plan will be posted here for review and comment.
