The GMC Yukon exists primarily as a people carrier, albeit a much more rugged one than any of the minivans that occupy the road. With three rows of seating, powerful engines and a truck-based chassis with good ground clearance, the Yukon excels at taking anyone anywhere. Its secondary mission is one of luxury, the Yukon can be outfitted with enough options to do a credible impersonation of a limousine if need be. Everything from sumptuous leather to state of the art rear-seat entertainment systems can be had on the GMC Yukon. Prices start at around $48,000.
Compare the 2016 GMC Yukon against similar models
Following a full redesign last year, the 2016 GMC Yukon adds Apple Car Play to a faster IntelliLink infotainment system. The Updated Driver Alert Package adds lane-keeping assist and automatic high-beam headlights, and a hands-free liftgate is now standard on the SLT trim.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.

Below are the available colors for the 2016 GMC Yukon. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The GMC Yukon is a big seven-seat SUV with V8 power, essentially the GMC version of the Chevy Tahoe though with some significant differences in equipment.
The GMC Yukon XL is the Suburban-size version, with a wheelbase of 130 inches, giving more legroom in the third row and cargo space behind it.
Built on truck chassis, these vehicles are among the few full-sized SUVs built body-on-frame, as opposed to being a unibody crossover with a car chassis. So the Yukon, like the land it was named for, is all about ruggedness, towing capability and hauling ability.
The standard Yukon engine is the 5.3-liter V8 making 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, with a 6-speed automatic; but GMC also offers a 6.2-liter V8 making 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque.
So if you want the most towing capability, Yukon is the way to go. It's rated at 8500 pounds, although that's still not as much as the Ford Expedition's 9200 pounds, on the back of is twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It's also less than the Nissan Armada's 8200-9000 pounds, but more than the Toyota Sequoia or Dodge Durango.
Both Yukon engines are direct injected, which improves response and efficiency with precise fuel metering; and both use cylinder deactivation, which cuts the engine down to a V4 when the throttle is reduced. It's indicated on the instrument panel, but the driver never feels the transition. Fuel mileage with the 5.3-liter is EPA-rated at 16 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined.
The ladder-type boxed frame uses mostly high-strength steel, for safety and rigidity. The rear suspension is old school, with a live axle and leaf springs, delivering a very good ride. But Magnetic Ride Control is available, the high-tech active suspension that basically absorbs bumps that the solid axle just deflects. A locking rear differential is standard.
Because the Yukon was redesigned for 2015, there's nothing new for the 2016 model year, except a capless fuel filler. However, there are enhancements to packages, such as the addition of Apple Car Play to the infotainment system.
Safety equipment standard on all models are a rearview camera and proximity sensors in front and rear, and with models having a bench seat in front, there's an additional airbag that separates the two passengers. Optional safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic warning, and forward collision alert.
Rear-wheel drive is standard, four-wheel drive available. Yukon 4WD models use a single-speed Autotrac system for automatic operation on the highway. If you want 4WD with a low-range for rock crawling or slimy boat ramps, you have to get the HD tow package two-speed transfer case. Denali 4WD comes with it.
GMC Yukon models are built on a 116-inch wheelbase, XL models have a 130-inch wheelbase. Denali versions are more luxurious and come with the 6.2-liter V8 and 8-speed automatic.
Available features include Bose audio, keyless entry, pushbutton start, an 8.0-inch LCD touchscreen interface, head-up display, power tailgate, cargo-management system, five USB ports, Blu-Ray DVD entertainment, and 22-inch alloy wheels.
This latest-generation Yukon abandoned the boring slab sides of the pre-2015 models for square corners and a masculine presence. Edges, angles, and character lines on its sheetmetal give it a sharp and tailored look. Aerodynamics played a strong role in its design.
As with the Chevrolet Sierra pickup upon which it is based, the doors are triple-sealed, set into the body.
The Denali has its own distinctive grille, and high-intensity discharge headlamps. Other models have projector-beam headlamps.
The GMC Yukon feels more like a sedan than a truck inside. Way bigger, of course, especially the center stack with its large dials. It's taken over by the IntelliLink infotainment screen, with its big icons for various functions. The center console is big and deep enough for a tablet or notebook computer. So on second thought, the Yukon feels more like a modern semi-truck than a sedan, inside, and outside, with available retractable steps to climb up to the tall cabin.
But then you feel the cabin's soft-touch materials. And the Denali, downright luxurious, with its ambient lighting, Bose surround sound audio system, and Blu-Ray entertainment in the rear seat.
The second and third rows fold flat, with available power to create vast cargo space with one touch of the finger. There's plentiful legroom in the second row, and even the third row of the XL, although headroom is still tight back there. If it's the 116-inch wheelbase model, don't expect decent legroom in the third row but it still works for occasional use, so if that's all you need for passengers, the shorter wheelbase would probably be a better choice.
The Yukon doesn't sound like a truck inside, either. It's remarkably quiet. Those triple-sealed doors silence most of the road noise, and windshield and front window glass is treated to cancel noise. Most of the sound comes from the exhaust pipe, and it isn't intrusive, it only makes it evident how well the engine compartment is insulated.
The forward visibility is quite good, thanks to fairly slim windshield pillars and angular bodywork on the hood and fenders. The side pillars are substantial, blocking the tapered rear flanks in the rearview mirror. The standard sideview mirrors aren't wide enough to see what you're towing if it's tall and wide. Fortunately a rearview camera and proximity sensors front and rear are standard.
The optional head-up display projects speed, rpm, turn signals, warnings, navigation instructions on the windshield ahead of the driver, but, like all of them in our experience, it's not readable on sunny days with sunglasses.
The Yukon is as easy and pleasant to drive as a car, as long as you pay attention to the corners that are way out there. Despite its size, the Yukon turns tight, better than many sedans, so there's no reason to be daunted by malls, at least not with the short-wheelbase versions. The XLs are less wieldy when pulling into a parking space.
The handling is secure and stable, with electric rack-and-pinion steering. The power assist is consistent during slow-speed maneuvering.
The ride is more comfortable with the standard 18-inch wheels than with the optional 20-inch wheels, partly because the bigger wheels use tires that have less of a sidewall height to absorb bumps. The available Magnetic Ride Control feels like magic to us, and makes all the problems go away. The shock absorbers continuously adjust in milliseconds to the road surface. On washboard surfaces the system is a blessing.
The 5.3-liter V8 delivers plenty of smooth power, the 6.2-liter even more so. Both develop peak horsepower at more than 4000 rpm, and they cruise at less than half that speed even at freeway speed. To get a downshift for instant acceleration, you hammer the throttle.
The 6-speed automatic does a good job of selecting gears. Its manual mode rev-matches the downshifts, and that's cool, and welcomed. The mode is managed by a switch on the column shift lever.
The Denali's 8-speed automatic has quicker and smoother shifts with smaller surges because the engine speed doesn't change as much, that's one of the reasons for more transmission speeds. The added gears also allow easier engine braking on long grades.
Towing is the best reason for buying a GMC Yukon. Even if you don't use your Yukon for towing, you might want the towing package because the way it programs the transmission is sharper around town. Same with the optional brake controller for trailers with electric brakes: it's needed if you tow, but even if you don't, it helps the resale value.
With its attractive fresh styling and modern features, big V8 engines and smooth automatic transmissions, decent fuel mileage for the size, towing and cargo capability, offroad potential, and last but not least room for seven passengers, the Yukon is a compelling choice if those are your needs.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Before we continue on, I need you to do something important (no doubt others will attempt to answer your question below me, but try to do it anyway). I (we) need to know how much networking knowledge you have, is your mobile on the LAN with your box or is it via a VPN or is it purely in the tubes.
What function does your linux box perform, is it a router, server, client, host, bridge, or redundant machine.
There are a lot of tools to do MiTM, but it depends on your infrastructure and what you are actually trying to achieve.
If there is a language barrier (reading your post seems like English is not your first language), it may be worth your time to draw a simple picture of what your setup looks like, include any firewalls you might have, and the "internet" if you are connecting via that at any time.

Artist Cliff Myers worked extensively with miniatures and stained glass before immersing himself in the casting and moldmaking process to create outdoor garden sculptures. All of his concrete garden sculptures begin as original works of art. They may be bronzes, stone or clay works. Cliff then makes a mold of the piece. From the mold each sculpture is cast and individually finished. Cliff's finishes are what make his concrete sculptures unique and create depth and character.
Measures: 4-1/2" tall x 11" wide - available in verdigris and earth
Due to an unexpected surgery, Cliff is unable to produce this statue until the July timeframe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Enrollment Central?
Enrollment Central is the first step of New Broncho Orientation, Central's overall combination of events and resources designed to assist our students through their transition to UCO. Enrollment Central is intended only for our incoming freshmen. At your Enrollment Central session we will cover a variety of topics focused on the basics of getting started: academic orientation, understanding placement results, academic advisement, enrollment, financial aid, etc. When you leave Enrollment Central you will have a class schedule in hand.
Q: Will I be able to complete placement testing at Enrollment Central?
At Enrollment Central we try to cover a significant amount of information in a short amount of time. Because placement testing is untimed we want every student to have enough time to complete any required tests in a less rushed environment. If you are asked to complete any placement tests you will be required to do so before attending your Enrollment Central session. For questions about placement testing or to schedule an appointment for testing, please visit Testing Services online at www.uco.edu/testing or call 405-974-2388.
Q: What is Transfer Enrollment Days?
Transfer Enrollment Days is similar in content to Enrollment Central but is focused on the needs of our incoming first-time transfer students. Transfer Enrollment Days offers incoming transfer students an opportunity for early enrollment while providing students with hands on assistance throughout the initial enrollment process.
Q: What is Enrollment Central Online?
Enrollment Central Online is an asynchronous (you do it on your own time, on your own schedule) web-based version of the orientation aspects of Enrollment Central and Transfer Enrollment Days.
Q: Is Enrollment Central/Transfer Enrollment Days/Enrollment Central Online required?
All incoming first-time freshman, transfer and returning transfer students are required to complete one of these academic orientations. What version you complete will depend on what type of student you are and what time of year it is. Enrollment Central Online is available to students when in-person events are full or unavailable. Most first-time and returning transfer students will complete Enrollment Central Online as Transfer Enrollment Days is not designed to provide enough capacity for our entire incoming classes. All summer and fall freshmen are expected to attend Enrollment Central so Enrollment Central Online is only available during late enrollment in August. Freshmen entering in the spring semester should complete Enrollment Central when offered but Enrollment Central Online will always be available if there are no in-person orientation sessions being offered by our office.
Q: Is there a fee for attending an academic orientation event?
There are orientation fees for attending Enrollment Central or Transfer Enrollment Days. These fees cover the operating costs of the Office of First-Year Experience Programs, allowing us to do things like pay the salaries of our staff and Orientation Leaders and pay for everything from postage to T-shirts and all things in between. Fees vary by event and will be explained at sign-up and in your event confirmation materials. These fees are typically added to your overall student bill for your first semester.
Q: I am still a junior or senior in high school and am just enrolling for concurrent classes at UCO. Am I supposed to attend Enrollment Central?
No. If you are not yet a full-time student at Central you only need to see an academic advisor in order to get help with the enrollment process. Call 405-974-2727 for help making an appointment.
Q: I have already or am about to graduate high school and I have already earned credit through AP courses and or concurrent credit. Do I have to attend Enrollment Central?
Yes. If you have these types of credit we know you may already be college savvy, but Enrollment Central is designed to make sure everyone starts with the same foundational knowledge about Central and the resources, processes, and people here to support your successful transition. Often times concurrently enrolled students haven't been provided the level of detail necessary to navigate the university as a full-time student.
Q: I have attended another institution after graduating high school but I don't have thirty credit hours yet (sophomore standing). Which academic orientation is right for me?
If you have been enrolled at another institution after high school graduation then you are a transfer student, whether you are a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior. We want you to attend Transfer Enrollment Days to learn more about the role your transfer credits play in your academic career here at Central.
Q: I plan on starting at Central in the summer. Do I still attend Enrollment Central?
Yes. There are three approaches to summer enrollment, Full-Term (June and July), Block One (June), and Block Two (July). It is important that you sign up for an Enrollment Central session early enough that you have time to enroll in the classes you want. If you want to enroll for Block One or Full-Term classes you need to get signed up for one of our May sessions.
Q: What is the difference between Enrollment Central and Freshman FORGE?
Enrollment Central is just the first step of New Broncho Orientation. After enrolling it's time to focus on your broader college experience. FORGE is all about traditions, connections, and meeting the rest of your class. Transfer students should attend FORGE Transfer, Parents can attend FORGE Family, and there are many other aspects of FORGE to explore at www.uco.edu/forge.

Kai the Famous Hitchhiker Arrested on Murder Charges
(NEWSER) – "Kai the hitchhiker" became an Internet celebrity in February when he intervened in a gas station attack in Fresno, California, hitting a man on the back of the head with a hatchet to stop him from assaulting a woman, then giving a very entertaining (and profanity-laced) interview to a local news station. The 24-year-old has since been viewed millions of times on YouTube and even appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live—but his life took a very dark turn this week, Mashable reports. Kai, real name Caleb Lawrence McGillvary, was charged with murder; he had been on the run, but police arrested him last night at a Philadelphia Greyhound station, ABC 30 reports.

Christmas & Holiday Pillows
Pillows are a cozy way to decorate for the holidays, from the living room to the bedroom and even the outside patio. Pottery Barn recognizes the versatility of these comfy couch companions, so we've gathered a collection of Christmas and holiday pillows that fit right into your seasonal celebrations. Pillows choices are square and rectangular – or more correctly known as lumbar pillows for the soothing support they give your lower back – and are offered in various sizes, patterns, materials and colors.
Velvet is a soft and warm choice for holiday pillows, giving a natural shine and texture to your decor. Choose velvet pillows appliquéd with reindeer, trimmed with fur or completely solid in color. In fact, our solid-colored velvet pillows make decorating in holiday colors simple. Choose soothing ivories and blues to bring the house in line with the traditional colors of Hanukkah. Bright cherry and velvety greens fit right into the customary christmas decor colorings. Go one step further and add ebony pillows and throws to your reds and greens to honor the three colors of Kwanzaa. And choose from our beautiful reds, oranges, silvers and golds to bring your home decor in line with Ramadan. Whichever winter holidays are dear to your heart, our pillow collection provides you with a simple yet meaningful touch to your surroundings.
If it's reminders of winter you're after, with snow-covered pine trees and winter wonderland scenes, we have a pillow for you, too – or three, four or more. Try a delicate snowflake appliquéd in metallic silvers and grays or a playful polar bear appliquéd on his sleigh. The neutral hues of our appliquéd deer pillow, and stag fashioned in a collage of fabrics, bring a natural and rustic look to your holiday decor. Cable knit with faux fur trimming makes a delightfully cozy resting place after a day of playing in the snow. And wintery scenes of deer amid snowflakes, and the cottages of the North Pole, bring the cheerfulness of the season into your home.
Take your holiday decorating out of doors as well with our collection of indoor/outdoor seat cushions. These durable pillows are made of water repellant fabrics designed to resist moisture, fading and stains. Greet guests – or Kris Kringle himself – in holiday cheer right from your front porch with a bold red pillow that doubles as an urgent letter to Santa. Decorate your patio and deck chairs with windowpane plaid pillows in wintery whites and soft grays, intricate snowflakes or scenes of nature. These indoor/outdoor seat cushions are easily spot cleaned with a damp, white cloth and air dried.
Several of our pillows are also monogrammable for a truly personal touch to your holiday decorations. You have a choice of both indoor and outdoor monogrammable pillows for the holidays, or choose a style you'll love displaying all year. Your monogram is centered or in a corner, depending on the type of pillow you choose. Take a long look at our faux fur pillows as well. With matching throws, these fluffy pillows add ultra softness and comfort to your holiday furnishings. We have faux chinchilla, bear and fox as well as wintery white sheepskin.
When it's lively patterns and colors you are seeking for the holidays, browse through our choices of paisley bedding pillows in a variety of intricate patterns and bold colors. Pillows with such refinement in detail – like our antique rug-inspired pillows – pair nicely with solid colored pillows in coordinating colors to take away the busy look and keep the focus on your favorite design. Similarly, one of our textured pillows is a fine companion to a smoother silk pillow.
Some of our offerings are decorative pillow covers that require an insert while others are complete pillows. decorative pillow covers are wonderful for holiday decor because they fit right over your existing pillows, depending on the size, then remove to make room for the next holiday or change in season. Or, choose from our fine collection of pillow inserts that are designed to fit perfectly inside our decorative pillow covers.

Funding for rural Internet access projects in Nova Scotia announced
South West Nova - Three communities in the region will be receiving government funding to improve connection to high-speed Internet.
'It's been steady and crazy'
TATAMAGOUCHE – A new micro-brewery business in Tatamagouche is exceeding early expectations.
The Tatamagouche Brewing Company has only been open for a week on Main Street and already demand is high for the locally homemade beer.
"It's been steady and crazy. On opening day (June 17) there was a lineup and a lineup on Saturday and the other days have been steady," said Christiane Jost, one of the general managers. "It's even busier than we expected."
Matt Kenny, the other general manager, added, "people are coming from all over Nova Scotia and visitors" beyond the Maritimes as well.
The brewery's concept was created by Hans Christian Jost and wife Karen, following the sale of the family business Jost Vineyards two years ago in Malagash. They purchased Houston's Butcher Shop in Tatamagouche and the library next door. Christiane is their daughter and she, along with partner Kenny, have very specific goals about the new venture, which they believe is the only micro-brewery in Colchester County.
Currently, two beers – Butcher Block red ale and Hippie Dippie pale ale – are brewed, bottled and sold at the site, which is the village's former butcher shop.
Customers pay $5 for a one-litre growler, or refillable bottle, which is exchanged when they purchase Hippie Dippie ($7) or Butcher Block ($7.50).
"Hippie Dippie is more mainstream, pale in colour and unfiltered. It's five per cent alcohol and hoppy," described Jost.
The Butcher Block ale is six per cent alcohol, "even more hoppy, more bitter and smooth," she added.
"They have a different taste and no additives," said Kenny.
One aspect of the newly renovated building the duo wanted to keep alive is the original butcher's block and floors to "keep the character of the building to honour the history and what's been here," including a former restaurant, dance hall and tire shop, Kenny said.
Educating the public on how a micro-brewery operates is also important to Kenny. He said the business's main, garage door remains open and residents are welcome to watch the process.
That process is a lengthy one, from start to finish. It takes from 10 to 14 from brew to serve, said Kenny, of the grain that goes into the hopper, which is then added to hot water and reducts sugar. The sugar and water are transferred to a kettle mash tun and hops are added before the five-day fermenting process, in which yeast is added and the mixture is turned to alcohol. The product is then stored in a cold room for about five days to mature.
As for the future, there are a few ideas brewing.
The launch of 650 ml bottles of the beer will be available, for the first time, this Saturday at the Truro Farmers' Market.
In addition, "we hope to have three beers and a seasonal one," said Jost.
The third one may be a stout beer, which would be "darker, smoother and one that we are still working on a recipe for," she said.
Ideas are still being contemplated for the seasonal beer.
The next-door former library building, which is now used as storage, should be transformed into a special project "hopefully this time next year," said Jost. She said it's too early to specify what the site will become.

Bethany Mota Gives Back-to-School Fashion Advice
Photo: Getty Images
By Kathleen Perricone
School is back in session for many students, and who better to give them fashion advice for the new year than Bethany Mota!
"What is in this year? Well, something that is in every year for me is oversized sweaters," the 18-year-old explained to On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Tuesday morning. "I feel like this is the way to go if you're running late. You can just put anything oversized on and pair it with leggings or jeans and it looks cute.
"I've also seen a lot of plaid recently, but not just like flannels and plaid button-up shirts," Bethany continues. "I've seen a lot of plaid skirts and plaid t-shirts. That pattern is so in, especially this year, even though it is every year, I feel like they're really hitting hard with plaid this year."
For more advice from Bethany, like what she thinks guys do wrong in fashion and super-short shorts, listen to the audio above!
Also, check out Bethany's back-to-school collection at Aeropostale here.

A Week in Limbo, Epilogue: An outstanding machine
Before I start, there is only one thing glaringly wrong with the ZaReason Limbo 5440: having to give back the review model to ZaReason in Berkeley (it's on its way back to you, Earl).
The ZaReason Limbo 5440 is, in three words, an outstanding machine; a simply outstanding machine that can easily handle any work load ranging from that of the average household user who's just surfing the Web to the constant tinkering and tweaking by the most restless Linux user (to the latter, I plead guilty). Ruggedly built and with a clean design, the desktop fits in nearly any location in the home — it spent a day or two in the "lab" (a.k.a, "The Jungle Room," where all our computers live in the house and where I do my best work) but spent the rest of the week in the living room in an unobtrusive manner.
But enough of the interior decor talk: The attention to design, both internally and externally, is completely as functional as it is stylish. But perhaps its best physical feature — expandability — makes this model an exceptional one for those who may have an overwhelming desire to add the latest and greatest hardware features to an already exceptional desktop. (A side note: In conversation with ZaReason CTO Earl Malmrose, I was given a green light to add software and hardware to my liking. But I passed on the latter — why spoil a good thing?)
As far as performance goes, everything I threw at the desktop during the course of the week, the Limbo 5440 handled without breaking a proverbial sweat. The only time I could get any of the processors to peak at 100 percent was running folding@home on a regular basis: Using the system monitor, CPU1 (which I would assume is processor 0 in the quad-core scheme of things) ran at 100 percent while using folding@home while any of the other CPUs displayed on the program barely passed 20 percent at any time during program use. The rest of the time, even running multiple programs, I got the sense that reading the graphs on the system monitor, the lines were gentle smiles laughing at me at my attempts in vain to make the desktop work hard.
The price tag for the Limbo 5440 as tested — $969, which is up from the base price of $499 thanks to a variety of upgrades (specs are below) — might seem a little steep to some. But ZaReason's advantage, one that clearly benefits the consumer, is the issue of value, and how the value of this outstanding machine eclipses the issue of cost. Yes, you could by a cheap box from an OEM that has Windows presinstalled, but then there are a plethora of issues around that — buying a cheaper box at a big box allows Redmond to chalk up another user and the hardware in some of the cheaper desktops are — how can I put this tactfully? — not up to par.
So buying hardware from a company dedicated to Linux has its advantages. To his credit and that of the company, Earl Malmrose and the engineering staff at ZaReason sends out 100 percent high-quality Linux-supported hardware.
Quality and value are ZaReason hallmarks,and the Limbo 5440 lives up to them. This desktop would be a keeper, if I didn't have to give this review desktop back, and given the opportunity to purchase this machine in the (near) future, I would easily jump on the opportunity to do so.
Now to find a spare $969 . . . .
Specs as tested (the standard Limbo 5440 specs can be found here):
2nd Generation Intel Core i5 3.3 GHz
Fedora 16 GNOME with shell extensions (changed to Fedora 16 KDE at mid-week)
3 500GB Hard Drives, 7,200 RPM, RAID-5 array
One year warranty
Size of case: 7″ x 14.6″ x 13.8″ / 17.8 x 37.1 x 35.1 cm
Internal Slots: 2x PCI, 1x PCI-Express x16
Rear Ports: 4x USB 2.0 Ports; 1x PS/2 Ports (for that old keyboard/mouse); 1x VGA Port; 1x 10/100 Ethernet Port; Audio I/O Jacks
Front Ports: 2x USB Ports; Headphone Jack; Mic Jack

A Week in Limbo, Days 5 and 6: Get with the program
Forgive me, folks: Blame the holidays for the delay. What normally would have been a simple and easy week leading up to Christmas — the end of the week leading up to Sunday, actually — became somewhat complicated, as only the end of the week leading up to Christmas can. And we'll leave it at that, except with an apology to anyone who was at the edge of their seat waiting for this next installment (thanks, Mom), which should have immediately followed Day 4 on, well, the actual Day 5.
During those opportunities over the last few days when I wasn't doubling and tripling up on my work shift thanks to vacations and when I was not taking care of holiday business at home — you know, I move that next year no one buy any gifts until after New Year's Day — I remained transfixed behind the monitor connected to the ZaReason Limbo 5440 while putting it through its paces. Before I outline what I used, I should mention that I worked on my SCALE 10X presentation as well as the SCALE 10X UpSCALE talk that I will be doing with darling daughter Mimi (hint: It involves music and lab coats — and that's all I'm going to say about that). So the primarly lineup involved GIMP, LibreOffice Impress and Audacity.
[As an aside on the latter, author Carla Schroder and I conspired to give Mimi a great Christmas gift: a signed copy of "The Book of Audacity." Thank you, Carla!]
In short (which will become "in long" in later pargraphs), all three programs ran flawlessly and quickly on the desktop box that, had I enough money, would stay in the household. There's nothing yet that I've thrown at this hardware that it hasn't handled without breaking a sweat, and to be honest, after a few days I've truly given up on trying to trip it up.
Meanwhile, LibreOffice's suite of software ran with aplomb — with as much aplomb as an inanimate object can run, for the nit-pickers out there — on this hardware. Switching back and forth from the LibreOffice Draw to LibreOffice Impress to LibreOffice Writer was a breeze, and the benefit of having a larger monitor to move windows around was a treat (how I made all those presentations on a laptop is a mystery).
Audacity? I'm the quintessential newb at it, though the far more Audacity-adept (does that make her Audacious?) Mimi zoomed her way around it quickly and can show the old man a thing or two. Audacity 1.3.13 beta ran and sounded perfect, though I think there could be a lot less bass in this presentation — an easy fix.
Finally, processing photos on GIMP was also a snap. Before I start, let me stike a Tebow-like pose and pray to all diety that will listen to my begging for the the single-window GIMP (2.7, I think) to come soon. Amen. With the multiple windows, using GIMP 2.6 was also a breeze and with the larger screen on the desktop monitor, multitasking was a lot easier than the same exercise — performed by yours truly for years on this old ThinkPad T30 — has been.
Note to self: Do more stuff on the desktops you have.
Before we go off to the next installment which wraps up this series, I should say that for the entire week, I have never had a negative "aha!" moment, nor have I uttered a brow-furrowing "hmmm" over the ZaReason Limbo 5440's performance. Some software hiccups which were clearly the result of PEBCAK errors ocurred, but these were few and far between (of course) and were not a reflection on the machine's abilities or performance. But we'll leave the rest of that for the next installment, coming to you tomorrow.
Tomorrow wraps up the series with A Week in Limbo, Epilogue: The final review

Fall storm rolls into the Northwest
A storm moved into the Northwest Saturday morning. It brought winds gusting to 50 miles an hour on the Northern Oregon Coast. In the Portland/Vancouver area wind gusts reached 30 miles an hour.
More than half an inch of rain is expected and there were some reports of street flooding due to clogged storm drains.
Snow is forecast in the Cascades with at least a foot at ski resorts and some snow at pass level on Mt. Hood.
Rain turns to showers Saturday night and most of the week looks wet.

I was very lucky it had been the 80 Kilo Black belt who had landed on me and not the 95 Kilo who was now looking for his turn.
I was very lucky it had been the 80 Kilo Black belt who had landed on me and not the 95 Kilo who was now looking for his turn.
Speaking of being inspired i wanted to share something with all of you
while you wait for my next update.
All i can say that i had been working from 5.30am - 7.30pm everyday for 6 days with no lunchbreak.
I had been to Judo twice that week,and was sore.It was a Friday night and i was being driven back to my Hotel
(a 45 minute drive).
All the way i was playing that game in my mind of "Should i take the night off,it's friday,i'm tired,i've done enough this week..........."Blah Blah Blah
Training twice a week is not enough.It's enough to make you feel like you've done something-but it's not enough to be properly beneficial to our Cardio Systems.
Training twice a week is not enough for Warriors.
After remembering this speech i got dropped off at Judo while all my workmates had Friday night on the piss.
Back To Judo..................
So i picked myself up off the floor and luckily Sensei called "Matte".
I went and collapsed on the floor at the side of the mat.At The Budokwai in London it is seen as extremely poor conduct to sit down at the side of the mat.
For two reasons-
1.If someone throws their opponent onto you,there will be no time to get out of the way and you will get flattened.
2.You should be standing to recover better from the intense cardio of the fight.
Well i couldn't have stood,i was knackered and luckily there were other students sitting so i knew it was acceptable here.
I hadn't done a serious Judo class for 5 months.Saturday has always been my Judo day,but since Wilson,Dickie and myself decided
that there should be a BJJ Class on Saturday at Carlsons it has been my job to run it,unless i am out of the country.So my own Judo has taken a back seat
for the time being,to try to give the students at Carlsons more training sessions.The idea had been to run the class at Carlsons from 2pm-3.30pm then go to
The Budokwai for 4.30pm.I had decided that i would teach the class at Carlsons but not do any sparring so i would get to Judo.Everyweek sparring would begin and for one reason
or another-someone being injured and not being able to spar so me having to make up the numbers,or a visitor coming who wants to roll with the instructor-i always end up sparring.
I had made the Saturday class at Carlsons 50% Judo so i could train my stand up,but doing Judo with BJJ students isn't as taxing as competition Judoka.
So,suffice to say,i wasn't fit for Judo at this first class in Morocco.Infact,i was exactly the opposite.I was f.ucked.
Its funny how you can be fit for BJJ but not for Judo.It just proves that fitness is not JUST fitness.We become fit for the sport we practise most and our bodies become able to practise this sport
without being taxed as hard it should be.
I bet if a rugby player tried to play 90 minutes of Soccer he would be in trouble,and vice-versa,just to make an analogy.
So there i was lying on the mat drenched in sweat,puffing hard,when the 95 Kilo Black Belt i had rolled with on the ground 20 minutes earlier came over and asked me if i wanted
to fight.He wanted revenge!
There is no point being a hero on a Judo mat.I was in no fit state to defend myself and i knew i would need all my minerals for this round,so although my ego was telling me to get
on the mat,i refused."Non Monsier,trois minute sil'vous plait.Je fini,c'est terrible" i said to him.He laughed at me and said "Dakor,trois minute!".
I had 3 minutes to sort myself out........................
I watched the sparring.The class was awesome.There were orange belts and green belts who looked like Brown and Black Belts.
The standard here was exceptionally high.Sensei was funny.As i said he was about Braulio's age and size and took his judo and his club VERY
seriously.If one of his guys got caught by a silly throw he would shout and scold them in Arabic,running across the mat to kick them HARD if they did not get immediately
back to their feet.If he was very upset with them he would chase them around the Dojo as they zigzagged through sparring couples,with Sensei booting the poor unfortuate
student as hard as he could up the arse as they tried to escape.I laughed at first until the higher grades gave me a warning look,as if to say."This is serious-Don't laugh."
When the student had received his beating,a group of girls training in traditional Hijab's would laugh at him and call him a "Pussy" in Arabic.
I had never really trained in a club this brutal.My taekwondo instructor was quite scary,but if he had a problem with you,you would be chosen to spar with him and he would
get a TKO from kicks to the ribs.It was rare for him to do this though,apart from when he caught my friend Rowen at a Thai Boxing class-but thats another story.
At The Budokwai,all it takes is a stern look from Ray Stevens to keep order.
And here i was watching a half crazed instructor chasing his students around the mat kicking them and slapping them round the back of the head as they ran away because they had been caught by a good throw!
It was time for the next round and i walked to the centre of the mat to fight the big guy.
We bowed and shook hands.And it began.As soon as i gripped him up i felt like my style matched up to his a lot better than the smaller Black Belt who had uchi mata'd me.
Just like Jiu Jitsu,Judo is all about styles,and sometimes our style is difficult for someone and with other people they can make a throw on us easy.
Well luckily this Bloke was all about strength and Power.His game was not about speed and agility.Luckily for me,his type of game matches up well for me,unlike the other.
We had a good round and both scored a couple of Koka's-The lowest score in Judo-basically a poorly,or well defended throw.The three minutes was up.
I was gasping for air and needed a rest.
I watched the instructor in the next round with one of his green belts.The green belt must have been about 17 years old,and had the same build as Sensei.
He was as game as a train.I had been watching Sensei being hard on him,scolding him more than everyone else and always being negative about this young chaps technique.
This gave away 3 points,i could tell from watching the kid and my experience of tough instructors.
1.This kid had enough talent to go all the way,certainly at National Level.
2.Sensei was reminded of himself as a green belt.
3.He was secretly Sensei's favourite pupil.
As they fought Sensei scolded the boy for every bad grip,threw him hard whenever he made a small mistake with his foot work.The boy kept coming back for more,literally throwing his being
into attacks-and they were good attacks-putting every ounce of bodyweight,momentum and technique into trying to throw sensei with almost a disregard for being countered.
When you play Judo like this kid was, the rewards when you get a throw are great.It is going to be a BIG ippon,but just like many things in life,the higher the reward the greater the risk-and if you are countered while attacking like this you will hit the ground HARD.This boy had minerals in abundance.
He didn't throw Sensei and was punished by counter's again and again.But one day he WILL throw Sensei.And when he does it will all have been worthwhile.
So i was fighting one round on and one round off,so i could rest.
Judo rounds in a club are normally 3 or 4 minutes long,and unlike BJJ,the instructor doesn't match you up.
You are expected to match yourself up.This happen's when someone walks over and asks if you would like to "practise",
or sometimes someone will go and stand in the middle of the mat before the round starts to signify he is game and will
spar with anyone who wants some.If no one goes to join him the instructor will usually call out "Come on,that fella over there is looking for a practice",
and that will be enough to get someone to join him.
When i am in a new club i stand *or sit at the side gasping for air* but i try not to ask anyone for a practise.
No one has ever told me it is seen as disrespectful,but i feel it could be misconstrued as a big headed challenge,or 'larging it' in West London patois.
I also try not to ever ask any British Team members,or exceptionally good competition players to spar at The Budokwai,as i am a very average 1st Dan and
i don't want to waste their time if they are training for a comp.If i want a tough practise i will go and stand at the 'Hard' end of the Dojo and wait to be asked.
They only time i break this rule is when Roger Gracie comes to The Budokwai to do Judo.I always ask him to train in TachiWaza and Newaza when i get the chance,
because i know Roger just thinks this is funny and not disrespectful.I am an easy warm up for him in Tachi Waza before he goes on to fight the Proper Competition Players,
and in Ne Waza,although he can tap me every 20 seconds while talking to someone else and not paying attention,he will do that to 99.9% of people anyway.
Anyway,i was recovering slowly when Sensei came over and asked me to practise.I thought to myself "This could range from a friendly spar,to a smashing,or,if any of his students have been complaining about the Newaza it could be a warning not to come back to the club"
Sensei smashed me.I couldn't get anywhere near throwing him.Every attempt left me looking like a white belt.
I now knew this man was very very good.On a par with others i had sparred with who were on National Teams,in fact,to be honest better than many.
He,technically,methodically and thoroughly took my game apart.
The really disheartening thing was,he did it with such control he didn't hurt me once.He had to put so little effort into the thrashing he gave me,he could literally throw
me through the air and at the last moment with a tug on the sleeve of my Gi,break my fall by 30% for me.
He must have ipponed me 20 times.He also made the round go on a lot longer until i was gasping for air again.All of the people resting were watching this demolishing i was gettin g and the younger ones were laughing.But he did it in such a gentle way it reminded me that a Black Belt in Judo is the beginning of learning.And i was at the Beginning.
After the round i collapsed on the floor and Sensei's green belt protege came over and asked me,as i was lying there,if i wanted to practise.
Sensei was looking the other way but seemed to have a 6th sense.He ran over,clouted the green belt round the head with his open hand and kicked him in the arse,
shouting what i assume to have been "How dare you approach an elder with a Black Belt who is resting,and insolently ask him to fight,you are lucky i don't kick you around this dojo
now go away before i smack you again".
I quickly said "Sensei,Sensei,Non Problem,c'est bon,c'est bon" and stumbled onto the mat with the green belt.
Now green belt thought all his Christmas's had come at once!
He had a foreign Black Belt in front of him,who he had just seen his instructor systematically destroy.The Black Belt was the wrong side of 35,and gasping for air.
This could be his big chance to show Sensei that he wasn't a worthless waste of space and become the Dojo hero for the evening.
I very carefully,very gently did exactly to him what Sensei had done to me.(Well to be honest i only threw him a few times cos i was knackered but i did it in a very controlled way without hurting him or landing on him).
He began to realise that the road we all travel in Martial Arts is a very long one,and along that road we will all meet many challenges.Winning or losing the challenge is not what is important,
but how we do our winning and losing is.
************************************************** ************************************************** *****************************************
I went back to Judo twice more that week.
The next time i arrived Sensei had obviously been told about my Newaza exploits from the first session by his Black Belts.Because he came looking for me.
So,48 hours later after a long day at work i was in the truck on the way back to the Hotel.
It looked like i was going to arrive back in Rabat at 7.40pm-25 minutes after the Judo class had started.
I knew from my first class there that they didn't really start the warm up until 7.30pm,the first 15 minutes seemed like a meet and greet time.
I thought about whether it was disrespectful to turn up late to the class,and i figured,it's not my fault if i have to work like a dog,and this was going to happen regularly.
I decided that i would be as respectful as is humanly possible while on the mat but they were going to have to tolerate my lateness.
Remember,there is always a little voice in the back our heads looking for an excuse not to have to train.
************************************************** ************************************************** ****************************************
That voice is our ego's.It is not us.If we all led our life by listening to our ego's the world would be a terrible place.
I can practically put every bit of serious trouble i have ever been in down to listening to my ego.
Sometimes it is VERY difficult to ignore your ego,but the way ahead is to see him for what he is.He is a trickster-He wants you to believe that he is you.
He jumps on the back of your personality,and because he lives in your mind,it is easy to think he is you.Well he isn't-He is a trouble maker and is not to be listened to.
He is not your spirit.Your spirit is the real you.And your spirit and your ego are on opposing sides of a battlefield in your mind where daily wars are fought.
He's the one that tells you to jump out of the car when someone cuts you up.
He's the one that tells you to have a word with the fella in a Bar who is looking at your missus.
He's the one who tells you,you are a pussy if you let someone bump into you and don't tell the bloke off.
He is also the one who tell's you not to go training-because you might get tapped.
Every time you ignore your ego your spirit becomes a little stronger and your ego becomes closer to dying.
Don't get me wrong-If you see him for who he is,he can be a useful little fella-If you can harness his competitiveness,and his will to win it can be a very good thing,
but like everything-too much of a good thing is bad-and listen to him and treat him as your god and you will never go training.
The more you react to what your ego is telling you to do the more you become his slave,and your life becomes one big reaction.
You are pulled from pillar to post all day everyday and become controlled by your ego,and the more this happens the more powerful he becomes.
"THE GREATEST TRICK THE DEVIL EVER PULLED WAS CONVINCING THE WORLD HE DIDN'T EXIST" The Usual Suspects.
Well,the greatest trick your ego ever pulled was convincing you that he is you.
************************************************** ************************************************** *******************************************
So there i was sitting in the truck,listening to my ego and my spirit having their usual fight about whether i was too tired to go training.
As i bumped along the road the boys around me all had fantastic smelling Moroccan Hashish Spliffs on the go,and were all having a deep conversation about whose was best.
Sometimes being in this enviroment is hard.I gave up everything when i got my Purple Belt four years ago.Drinking,Smoking - the lot.
It is the best thing i ever did in my life,for my Jiu Jitsu,My career and my sanity.I wake up every day and praise god (or whoever it is up there) for giving me the
single mindedness to live my life as an athlete should,but every now and then it is difficult.And after a 14 hour day in the sun,with no lunch break in a very high pressure job
it is sometimes hard to carry on with this single mindedness.Especially when a little voice is saying "Go on,you're in Morocco,you'd be crazy not to sample the local delicacies........"
Well i can recognise my ego for who he is and i told the boys-"TAKE ME TO JUDO!"
I arrived at Judo 15 minutes late,and the warm up was underway.
They have a separate changing room for Black Belts which is great because the regular changing room is carnage.
It is ankle deep in water and there are 50 people in a room that should have no more than 20 in it.
The Black Belt changing room is lovely-it has a carpet and 2 sofa's in it!
I walked in and there was a guy who i hadn't met before.I introduced myself to him,and he seemed friendly enough but i could tell he was
a tough guy and senior in the pecking order,and although we were pretending to be cool there was a tiny bit of an alpha male thing going on.
Sometimes this shit just happens.I could tell he wanted to beat me immediately.He was about 35-40 and a 90kg lump.
Me and him were 2 old guys still walking the walk.........................
I had a brief conversation with him in the changing rooms where i told him how welcome i felt at the club,and how priveleged i felt being able to train there,
and as i told him how good i thought Sensei was,he replied that Sensei was the Moroccan Under 81 Kilo Champion.
Ah-ha! I was glad my senses had been correct.
I was changed now and went to stand at the edge of the mat.Because of my lateness i didn't want to walk straight onto the mat.In Judo you wait for sensei to ask you to join in.
I met Sensei's eye and he beckoned me onto the mat.
It was immediately Ne-Waza (Groundwork) i kneeled down opposite the lump but Sensei came straight over and said something to the lump in Arabic and the Lump moved away and Sensei took his place.
I could tell the other Black Belts who i had sparred with on the ground at the previous class must have told Sensei i was alright on the ground and he was coming to test me.
I started by pulling guard.
We had a tough fight.I showed Sensei some Carlson Gracie Jiu Jitsu,which was fine because at the previous lesson he had certainly shown me some Kawaishi Judo!
(Google Kawaishi if you're interested......)
At the end of the round i hoped Sensei saw me in a slightly different light,as someone who it may be useful to have around,rather than another 1st Dan.
It was time for the next round and the Lump came over.This guy was really good at Ne Waza.It was a very even round.
I had immediately noticed that at this Judo Club they carried on fighting in Side Control or Mount.At some Judo Clubs they train strictly to Competition rules and if they get
side control they consider it a win-and it is-under Judo rules.However some Judo clubs are a little more progressive with their Ne Waza,
and the fight continues unless someone manages to hold side control for like a minute.One of the things i liked about this club were they seemed to be almost sparring on the ground with a jiu jitsu
style to their rules of engagement.
Anyway,here i am scrapping the lump and every time there is even a slight infringement of the rules he points it out.For instance if i am on his back i know i cant attack his face or chin the way i would in BJJ.I am well aware you cannot do that,but even reaching across his face and having my forearm brush past his chin to try to take control of his Gi,he say's " Non,Shido!"
which means " No-Penalty".The fight progressed and i tried some open guard with him and he passed.The moment he passed,having secured North-South for all of
4 seconds he came back to kneeling as if to say "Well i won that one".I realised how it was going to be sparring with him and commited it to my memory banks for next time as the round ended.
I knew i would be meeting him again.

Carolina nine to share their TEDx-cellence
By Peggy Binette, email@example.com, 803-777-7704 and Steven Powell, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-1923
This year's lineup of high-energy, innovative speakers for TEDxColumbiaSC will feature nine members of the Carolina community whose talks will range from nanoscience to philanthropy.
The USC faculty, staff and students who will speak during the Jan. 21 event were chosen from more than 100 nominees, who comprised innovative artists, scientists, entrepreneurs, educators and business leaders as exemplifying the TED platform of "ideas worth spreading."
TED is a nonprofit organization that supports world-changing visions through conferences featuring innovative thinkers and doers who share their ideas in an 18-minute talk. TEDx is the concept realized at the local level, with independent TED-inspired events taking place throughout the world.
"I'm delighted to have the opportunity to participate and share my work with an enthusiastic audience," said Chris Robinson, associate professor of studio art at USC. "TED talks have always fascinated me. I frequently watch and show them in my classes and enjoy the creative innovation – sincere people helping us to explore and expand our horizons and better understand our world."
The January event marks Columbia's second TEDx event. In addition to the live speakers, the event will feature video TEDTalks to spark conversation and imagination.

Pedro De Abreu, 23
Junior from Brasilia, Brazil, majoring in economics, management and organizational leadership
Talk: Checkmate
"I received a chess set when I was 15 from a cousin of mine while I lived in Brazil. That changed my outlook on life as I started to think more strategically and also improved my grades. When I moved to America, I thought, 'Why not offer this life-changing game to other students and see if it will have the same impact on them as it has had on me?' To this end, I founded the Check Mate Foundation. We have been teaching chess and valuable leadership skills to elementary school students in the Midlands since 2010.
Chase Mizzell, 19
Junior from Charleston, majoring in international business and finance; student government vice president
Talk: Social Entrepreneurship That Works
"I have been an entrepreneur for a number of years and have begun to discover the unique ways that entrepreneurial principles can be applied to social and humanitarian pursuits in order to yield higher efficacy and sustainability. This has been poignantly demonstrated to me through my creation of the Second Servings food donation program and all of the entrepreneurial processes I applied in order to make it successful."
Carl Wells, 49
Assistant director of the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs
Talk: The Lines Have Moved, The Prophecy Has Been Fulfilled
"Forty years ago, the Census Bureau began predicting the rapidly changing demographics of America, which would eventually result in racial minorities constituting the majority. That prophecy has been fulfilled; however, the general American populace is unprepared to deal with the reality of diversity in America. My presentation will outline some of my personal strategies for living, working and succeeding in a world wherein the lines have moved, the hues have darkened and the prophecy has been fulfilled."
Erica Gibson, 35, and Julie Smithwick, 37
Gibson: Assistant professor in anthropology and in women's and gender studies; Smithwick: Executive director of PASOs, Arnold School of Public Health.
Talk: Searching for the American Dream in South Carolina: Reproductive Health Challenges and Opportunities
Gibson: "I wanted to give this talk to show that women in South Carolina do care about our reproductive health. Also, different women face different challenges related to reproductive care. I will be highlighting my research among women of Mexican origin in South Carolina."
Smithwick: "Through our community-based work in PASOs, I have had the opportunity to see the Latino immigrant population in an entirely different light than most people see them, and I'm excited to share this perspective with the world."
Claudia Benitez-Nelson, 40
Director of USC's Marine Science Program
Talk: The impact the university has on Columbia beyond the classroom.
"This is a great opportunity to expose as many people as possible to what we have here. I don't think people realize the benefits of having such a fabulous university right here in Columbia. Most people don't even realize that we have one of the best marine science programs in the country."
Jamie Lead
Carolina SmartState endowed chair of environmental nanoscience and risk assessment
Talk: Benefits and Risks of Nanotechnology: A Case Study of Nanomedicine and the Environment
"It is important, where possible, for scientists to give society a picture of science in theory and practice. Given the world we live in is so dominated by science and its technological fruits, it is important to explore the impacts, benefits and limitation of science and technology and to hold a discussion of these issues with the wider public."
Chris Robinson, 61
Associate professor of studio art
Talk: Seeing the Unseen
"I will talk about the artist's role, the relationship between art and science and how visual thinking and images can help to mediate an increasingly complex world. My recent work has been in nanotechnology and I will provide some insight to the myriad mysteries of the quantum realm."
J.J. Shepherd, 27
Doctoral candidate in computer science
Talk: How video games should be taken seriously as a research field, a rehabilitation aid and an art form
"I want to give this talk to spread the message that games are not just a 'kid's toy,' but are a unique medium that combines art and science into one artifact. These artifacts can not only entertain, but also teach us, train us and evoke new ideas that no other medium has ever been able to do."

LONG BEACH -- After a roving mob of more than 100 people caused damage to city businesses earlier this month, police are bracing for a possible repeat today at a rally for Trayvon Martin.
On July 9, the large group of mostly teenagers from outside Long Beach vandalized and stole merchandise from various businesses in the Pike and City Place area of downtown.
"The same group is planning another 'bash mob,'" said Sgt. Aaron Eaton, spokesman for the Long Beach Police Department.
"This is just groups of individuals, mostly teens, that are getting together through social media that decide to commit these crimes."
Police learned through an investigation that the group planned to be back in Long Beach at 2 p.m. today at the rally organized by P.E.A.C.E. --Protecting Everyone America Created Equality -- in front of the Long Beach Superior Court on Ocean Boulevard.
The July 9 incident "was before the (George Zimmerman) verdict was read," Eaton said. "So it's not tied to Trayvon Martin at all. They may take the opportunity to do it during the protest."
Officials met Wednesday with business leaders warning them about the possibility of a repeat of the events from earlier this month.
The main intention of such a mob is theft, assaults as well as damaging property, Eaton said.
They are "flooding areas and businesses and attacking innocent people," he said.
The mob usually gathers initial interest on social media outlets, such as Facebook.
This may have been the case last weekend in Los Angeles when about 150 people broke away from the peaceful protest honoring Martin to commit vandalism and assault on Crenshaw Boulevard.
"We support anyone who wants to protest peacefully and (support) everyone's right to free speech and assembly," Eaton said. These mobs "don't want to protest peacefully. Their intent is criminal in nature."
Protesters have rallied across the country since a jury of six women acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the Feb. 26, 2012 shooting death of Martin, an unarmed black teenager, during a fight in Sanford, Fla.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, claimed he shot the 17-year-old Martin in self-defense after Martin attacked and pummelled him.
Police said anyone who has information on criminal activity in Long Beach should call 9-1-1 or visit lacrimestoppers.org.

7/7 Hero Fireman Jailed Over £100m Drug Ring
A second man, cage fighter Aman Salhan, 28, of Harlington, west London, was also discovered in the flat.
He was jailed for 17 years after a jury found him guilty of conspiracy to import cocaine.
As officers searched the property, dozens of phone calls were made to three pay-as-you-go mobile phones as worried criminal contacts tried to find out why the pair were running late.
The court heard how ringleaders had netted more than £100m in cash via a run-down but heavily fortified taxi garage under the Westway in Paddington, central London.
Anyone know him ?

Ariel Castro's Victim Fantasy—and Why Prison Will Make It Worse
Hitler didn't think he was a monster. Neither did Anthony Sowell, Ted Bundy, or Jeffery Dahmer. There's strong evidence that the human mind is not capable of viewing the self in such a manner—in their minds, they were (or are) simply misunderstood.
Ariel Castro proved the truthfulness of that dictum Thursday in the rambling statement he made as he stood before the bar of justice to receive a sentence of life in jail plus 1,000 years. Castro blamed his terrible actions on practically everything save for own mind: the supposed fact that he was sexually abused as a child, the FBI for not finding the girls more easily, even the victims themselves for getting in his car. He wanted the entire world to know that he isn't really a bad person. He posited that maybe it was his addiction to pornography that led him down this dark road—failing to comprehend that every alcoholic started off drinking milk.
Over and over again in the four-hour sentencing, Castro attempted to play the victim card, but Judge Michael Russo wasn't going for it; whatever the length of the sentences he handed down, the judge said, it would not in any way be in proportion to what he did to the three women.
Michelle Knight, the only victim to attend the sentencing, related that Castro would go to church and then return home and torture his victims, who Castro had suggested were not captives at all but were in the house of their own free will. The only time Castro was brought close to tears was when he had to sign over the deed to his house of horrors. Why? Because he has so many fond memories of the two-story dungeon.
While Castro had, on virtually all other court appearances, kept his head down and his eyes focused on the floor, on sentencing day another personality emerged—a combative man who had the temerity to state that one of his captives, Amanda Berry, willingly got into his vehicle, and that his captives were the ones who asked him to engage in sexual congress, not the other way around. He seemed oblivious to the fact that that statement alone will assure that he occupies a special rung on the ladder that reaches to the lower reaches of hell.
If it wasn't for the enormity of the actions he's previously pleaded guilty to, Castro's objections to what he felt was a mischaracterization of his work record as a bus driver by the judge would be laughable. This is a man who will never again see the light of day and in all probability will spend many years in solitary confinement, since prison officials are not going to risk placing him in general population—not even in one of the facilities set aside for sex offenders. Any number of prisoners already doing life—so what do they have to lose?—would kill him in a heartbeat due to his notoriety simply to raise their own creds. Yet, Castro's concern is about how history will view his driving skills. On that one, words fail.
Castro also was quick to point out to the judge that he had not pleaded guilty to murder (the county prosecutor had threatened to seek the death penalty for causing one of the women to abort on two occasions). Indeed, that he's just your everyday, garden-variety kidnapper and one not prone to violence.
