Friday At The Vans US Open Of Surfing
Vans US Open Of Surfing Field Narrowed To 16
In an event chock full of upsets, the biggest came this morning when Kelly Slater fell at the hands of Michel Bourez. It's no secret Slater isn't the biggest fan of the surf in Huntington Beach, and his lack of enthusiasm showed in his surfing today. Riding a brand new epoxy four fin, Slater made an array of small, uncharacteristic mistakes in the gutless conditions, ultimately losing to Michel by less than a half point.
It'd be hard to blame Slater for not having his head completely in it, especially in todays less than exciting conditions and after competing in back-to-back banger events in Fiji and Indonesia. "I knew he was going to try to put a show on, try some big airs," said Michel after the win. "But I wanted to get a couple lefts to start, and then I got that right and landed that air, so I guess it was a good game plan. It worked." And how about that air? It's not the surfing we are accustomed to from Michel—but make no mistake; he can take flight with the best of them. Michel reckons there's a reason we don't see them every time he dons a jersey. "Yeah, I can do them [laughs]. That's all I try when I freesurf in waves like this, try some airs. But I only do them in a heat when I need to, so the judges are surprised, which is always a good thing." Today, that was certainly the case. For Slater it'd hardly be a surprise if he's relieved felt after losing, and the idea of not having to face the gauntlet of rabid HB fans that are going to max out when Saturday rolls around.
Heading into finals weekend, three surfers would appear most poised for the podiums top spot and the 100k winners check: Jordy Smith (who got engaged to longtime girlfriend Lyndall Jarvis yesterday and is still certainly on Cloud 9), Kolohe Andino, and last years winner, Julian Wilson. The latter are matched against one another tomorrow morning, which could very well end up being the heat of the event. Stay tuned.—Zander Morton

ASP Press Release: HUNTINGTON BEACH, California/USA (Friday, July 26, 2013) – The ASP Prime Vans US Open of Surfing hosted the Round of 24 in peaky two-to-four foot (1 metre) waves at Huntington Beach Pier, deciding the Round of 16 compliments of some intense battles from the world's best surfers.
Michel Bourez (PYF), 27, continued his tear at the Vans US Open of surfing, trumping 11-times ASP World Champion Kelly Slater (USA), 41, with patented power surfing and progressive above-the-lip maneuvers. Slater would put in a valiant effort in the dying seconds of the match in an attempt to surpass the Tahitian, but would fall shy of the score required, securing Bourez's position in the Round of 16. "I knew he was going to try to put a show on and do some big airs," Bourez said. "I saw him trying to look for the rights and my goal was to catch a few lefts first. Then I got that right and tried that air, so that was the good one for me. I saw Kelly from behind on that last wave and he did five or six turns and the wave was really tiny. I heard the crowd cheer and thought maybe I made a mistake."
Julian Wilson (AUS), 24, defending US Open Champion, moved one step closer to taking back-to-back wins at Huntington Beach Pier, topping Brazilian darkhorse Alex Ribeiro, 21, with the day's high single-wave score of 9.10 for a ferocious backhand attack on a steep lefthander. "Surfing against a guy like Alex is always dangerous because he didn't have much to lose," Wilson said. "I was able to do a few backside turns put scores on the board and push him enough to fall on those backside airs. He came close on one and it could have turned the heat, but it was nice to build some momentum after a close loss yesterday. Today is a little bigger with some corners and the conditions are fun."
Jadson Andre (BRA), 23, current No. 25 on the ASP World ranking and past WCT surfer, put in a banner performance with massive frontside airs on the lefthand ramps breaking in to Huntington Beach Pier, securing his victory over recently injured ASP WCT rookie Sebastian Zietz (HAW), 25. "I just feel bad for Seabass (Sebastian Zietz) because he wasn't 100 percent," Andre said. "I'm still stoked to win the heat and it was a really important round for me. I'm feeling healthy and I hope I can keep going. I knew that was going to be a really tough heat and that's why I tried to catch waves as fast I could so I didn't give him too much opportunity. I have Adriano (de Souza) next and I know he's going to be a tough competitor."
Hodei Collazo (EUK) 29, current No. 127 on the ASP World Ranking, was responsible for a big upset today, eliminating veteran campaigner C.J. Hobgood (USA), 34, in their Round of 24 clash with last minute heroics. "That was really close," Collazo said. "C.J. started with a 6.6 and a 5.5 and I tried to be patient and wait for the best waves. Luckily I had priority at the end and I was able to get the score. I tried to push hard on my turns and I knew it was going to be close."
Nat Young (Santa Cruz, CA), 22, utilized his lethal backhand attack on the rights today, advancing to the Round of 16 over Caribbean darkhorse Charles Martin (GLP), 23. "I definitely favor my backhand and the rights are better today," Young said. "They are bowly and are bending towards the beach. I wanted to get scores on the board on my backhand and then I was able to just surf and have fun."
The completion of the ASP Women's WCT Round 4 would immediately follow Men's ASP Prime action, setting up Vans US Open of Surfing Quarterfinals match-ups. Laura Enever (AUS), 21, issued the round's biggest upset, taking down reigning five-time ASP World Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS), 25. Enever's Quarterfinals berth matches her best result of the season and the Australian will face off against local favorite Courtney Conlogue (USA), 20, in Quarterfinal No. 1 tomorrow.
"It's always good to win and I'm stoked to make it to quarters," Enever said. "Steph's amazing and she only needed a 6.5 at the end. I've had some sketchy heats this year and I'm happy to get a little roll going. I want to make the top 10 and this will help me. I've got Courtney (Conlogue) in the next round and she's a local here so I know it's going to be a tough heat."
Carissa Moore (HAW), 20, former US Open winner, would go on to eliminate defending event champion Lakey Peterson (USA), 19, following a series of back-and-forth exchanges. "Lakey is a fighter and I have a lot of respect for her," Moore said. "She surfs so well in beachbreaks and goes for it and she's not someone I wanted to draw in Round 4. I didn't feel like I surfed my best, but was able to squeak by and got lucky. I'm happy to get through that one."
Moore, 2011 ASP World Champion and current No. 2, is trailing Australian Tyler Wright (AUS), 19, in the race for the 2013 ASP World Title, but is attempting to take a more relaxed approach while striving for a second crown. "I think I've got to just forget about the title race and have fun," Moore said. "That's the biggest thing right now and I think Tyler's having fun and it's part of the reason she's doing so well. It will come down to who doesn't overthink things and that's when things come in to place."
Pauline Ado (FRA), 21, would cap off the day's action, besting dangerous Hawaiian Alana Blanchard (HAW), 22, to secure a Quarterfinals berth while matching her best result of the year. "Alana (Blanchard) rips and I knew it wasn't going to be an easy heat," Ado said. "This is my first Quarterfinals at the US Open and I'm pretty happy. I think I'm going to be against Sally (Fitzgibbons) and it's going to be tough to beat. I'm just going to do my best."
Tomorrow's Vans US Open of Surfing schedule will see Men's Round 5, Women's Quarterfinals and ASP Pro Junior Finals. Watch the action LIVE via http://www.usopenofsurfing.com/surf/. In addition to all of the ASP action, the 2013 Vans US Open is a massive action sports festival that will also include the Joel Tudor Duct Tape Invitational, BMX and Skate Competitions, performances from Modest Mouse, The Faint, Matt Costa and more.

Does spending most of my time in computer bad for the baby's health?
I'm Meghann and it's my first time being pregnant. anyway, it's my daily routine and life activity to spend most of my time surfing in the net. And, I was wondering if spending too much time in front of my laptop can harm the health or anything that could harm my baby?

I spend a lot of time in front of my laptop, but I didn't when I was pregnant. We know that it's nearly impossible to avoid all forms of non-ionizing radiation from computers, microwave ovens and TVs. But I would try to avoid sitting in front of the computer as much as possible during your pregnancy.
Warm Regards,

I just wanted to add that, in pregnancy, it is a good idea to be aware of where you position your computer. If you are using a laptop then it is still better to rest it on a table whilst you use the internet rather than place it on your legs.
Another benefit to this is helps you to sit with better posture which can benefit your back in pregnancy.
I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy.
Best wishes,

Good point - better to have the laptop on a desk or table than on your lap. Also, some laptops can get so hot that they give you "toasted skin syndrome", especially if the laptop is on bare skin. I had this a few years ago, and though the blotchy red rash stayed for a week or two, it did eventually go away, and now I am very careful about not having the hot computer on my lap for long periods of time.

Re: OT - XFinity vs FiOS
I don't think Verizon Wireless is the same as FIOS. Xfinity does not offer wireless (cellphone) service so bundling with Verizon Wireless, I suppose, seemed mutually beneficial to both companies net/net (despite the fact that bundle may lose Verizon a FIOS subscription theoretically and gives Verizon revenue through the Xfinity/Verizon bundle).
Bottomline is, I think that bundle is Xfinity's package (carried through Xfinity's cable network not FIOS' fiber optic network) plus a cellphone/wireless package from VerizonWireless. So it is basically a 'quadruple play', Xfinity's Triple play (home phone, internet, TV) plus wireless service from Verizon.
I could be wrong.
Re: OT - XFinity vs FiOS
I dont know if I'm going to switch yet or not...it is intriguing and what they offered me is definitely a lot more than what I'm getting with FiOS and it is about $20 cheaper per month.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: OT - XFinity vs FiOS
Ok, sounds cool. Might be limited to certain areas. Maybe including Verizon Wireless in their bundle was part of the negotiation because Wireless service doesn't need cable or fiber optics. Plus the link you supplied describes the Xfinity component of the bundle, and it is the same as it always has been (over cable...Powerboost, etc is through cable), but maybe it varies by location. If you can get fiber optic lines but Xfinity prices/channels, it might be the way to go. The customer service is poor, but I don't think it is that great at FIOS either; is basically a wash, imo, from what I hear (my neighbor has FIOS and her outages and customer service has been horrific, especially during the Verizon strike)
Re: OT - XFinity vs FiOS
FiOS has been kind of a bust with Verizon though. I work with a couple of Verizon IT guys and they've been telling me for about 6 months now that Verizon is going to start weening itself off of FiOS because they aren't seeing the return of the money they initially invested in the infrastructure.
Verizon's bread and butter will always be cellular technology. So, I'm not surprised to see them selling home TV/Internet services to XFinity.
They offered me 50 megs of internet (so realistically like 25-30 megs) guaranteed (am getting about 10-12 with FiOS right now), free HD DVR, HBO, Encore, & Starz included for duration of service, and about 100 more channels including HD channels. Furthermore, FiOS' on-demand kind of sucks and all of their movies are pretty expensive. I was going to rent an old movie...I think maybe Empire Records or something like that and they only had it in SD and it was $9.99 to rent it.
I can buy that movie for less than 10 bucks, haha.
I think I am going to switch and I'll just deal with the customer service as I go.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: OT - XFinity vs FiOS
That said, NFL Sunday ticket is the greatest invention ever. I watch the Ravens at noon, get my pick of best games in the afternoon, or simply flip around watching all of them. Primetime games are even better because I have eight hours of football flipping to go through."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar.

DirecTV has to follow game rules just like every network / provider.
They show whatever games are regularly aired in your market. Sunday Ticket is an extra and they do not black out games that are otherwise on the air in your market.
Re: OT - XFinity vs FiOS
id be highly surprised if there was such a thing as worse customer service then Xfinity.
Re: OT - XFinity vs FiOS
In all honesty, these companies are spending so much money on the product they skip other areas such as customer service. I've heard about Xfinity too but don't know about it because I've never had to call them. That puts them up on Fios right there.
When I was switching a guy was on another board who was a Verizon supervisor and dropped Fios because of customer service.
None of them are so great. All their money is going into the tech stuff.
Re: OT - XFinity vs FiOS
I haven't had FIOS yet(not available in my neighborhood), but....
with Xfinity,
Yoiu will be on hold a half hour minimum
they will NOT be able to fix your problem
they will schedule an apt
there Tech may or may not show up at all, but it certainly won't be within their specified window, that will always require you to take time off from work.
The tech will simply bring a new box, and likely has really no idea what he's doing. He will call in to his tech support several times.
And there is at least a 50% chance that somone will forget to log in the new box, and within a week your service will be cut off and you will need to call back again, only to find out they still have you listed with the old box.
You will get used to unplugging and plugging in your cable modem for internet. Up to several times an hour when it's bad. As little as once or twice a day when it's good.
Your price will change every roughly 90 days, and people will call you with new offers that sound astonishingly similar to what you just had... You may have to add phone if you want a cheaper price...
But the real kicker.
You will never hear I'm sorry, please, thank you, nothing. You will never have build any equity through repeated business. After a decade or more, a simple request for the cancellation department will get you the cancellation department. they really couldn't possibly care less if you continued your service.

Re: OT - XFinity vs FiOS
Ive never had to unplug my cable modem to re-charge it, not once.
You don't have to call anyone if you have that prob. Just go into the nearest
comcast office, take the old modem with you and they will give you a new one
or even a new box if you need it.
Just turn in the old equipment. Anyone should be able to unhook the modem
and cable boxes and re-hook em.
Re: OT - XFinity vs FiOS
I've had 6 or 7 different modems in the past decade. My problme has been consistant in 3 seperate dwellings in the same rough area of Owings mIlls. I have needed, on average, 2 power cyclings a day for a decade, to simply have high speed internet. Some days I need to cycle the power almost every time i change web pages. On those days, I steal wirelessly from my neighbors.

This Week's Reading
What We're Loving: Gardens, Riches, and KidneysBy The Paris Review
The classical novel exists, in large part, to teach us how to imagine money—the more than we'll ever have, the more than we'll ever lose. Nobody today writes more convincingly about lucre than Jonathan Dee. You glance up from The Privileges thinking, Sure, I can imagine how it would feel to be that level of mega-filthy, godalmighty rich—it's like grasping some exotic theorem—then you dive back in to watch the Moreys make even more. (For a round-up of moneycentric novels, check out Christian Lorentzen in the new Bookforum.) —Lorin Stein
I'm not a gardener—I can hardly tell tulips from forget-me-nots—but I have many friends who are, and I've just come across the perfect book for them. James Fenton's A Garden from a Hundred Packets of Seed is short, witty, and useful. If you were starting a flower garden from scratch, Fenton asks, what flowers would you choose to grow in it? The names themselves are a pleasure to read: the Shoo-Fly Plant (also known as the Apple of Peru), the Pheasant's Eye, the Iceland Poppy, the Blue Pygmy. Fenton also gives sound advice: "When handling seedlings, always hold them by the leaves, not by the stem"; and, "Forcefully remind your cat about the difference between seed trays and litter boxes." —Robyn Creswell

Legislation overview
Legislation has an important impact on terms and conditions of employment; this is because legislation implies certain minimum requirements into the employment relationship in addition to what is agreed between the parties themselves. The fundamental starting point when considering the legal relationship between employer and employee is always the contract itself, however the relevant legislation must always be considered as well.
The main piece of legislation which governs many terms and conditions of employment is the Employment Rights Act 1996.
A wide range of other legislation which has an impact on what can be incorporated into the terms and conditions of employment includes:
- Equality Act 2010 (especially the equal pay provisions)
- National Minimum Wage Act 1998
- Pensions Schemes Act 1993
- Working Time Regulations 1998 (SI 1998/1833)
- Employment Act 2002
- Information and Consultation of Employees Regulations 2004 (SI 2004/3426).
Legislation dealing with zero hours contracts can be found in:
- The Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 which introduced the legal definition of zero hours contracts and inserts new provisions into the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA 1996) dealing with exclusivity issues.
- The Exclusivity Terms in Zero Hours Contracts (Redress) Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/2021) which came into force on 11 January 2016 and provide the remedies for zero hours workers against employers who include exclusivity clauses in their contracts of employment.
- The Employment Tribunals Act 1996 (Application of Conciliation Provisions) Order 2015 (SI 2015/2054) which also came into force on 11 January 2016 and extends the time limit for bringing a claim where this is necessary to facilitate Acas early conciliation.

Edit: I forgot to mention that this was with both the live DVD as well as the HDD install.
Out of the box it works great!
Love the fact that it supports the native 1024 x 600 resolution.
Sound works at boot up.
Airmon-ng states the wireless card driver is r8180, that is OK I have my Alfa AWUS036H here for the packet injection on my wan.
Not tested the wired network but lspci sees the Ethernet controller so I have no doubt it will work.
This is a 10 inch net book. for those that want to use a net book for use with BT 4 I recommend this one.
Personally this is the smallest I could get away with and still not go insane trying to use the keyboard.
A con on this is that some apps (gerix for instance) uses the entire Y plane (brain not fully working at moment, but you get the idea ) and you need to move the task bar at the bottom out of the way (cannot even tell if i see it all). I tried resizing it to shrink it but was unable to do so; also maximizing did not help in the way I was hoping either. You can still see almost all of the app so its not that bad, however due to the limitation of the screen its as good as its going to get.
Overall, it works pretty well and if you happen to pick one up on the cheap then it should be great for relaxing on the couch and having fun with the new tool.

A tremor is a type of shaking movement. A tremor is most often noticed in your hands and arms. It may affect any body part, including your head or vocal cords.
Tremor - hand; Hand tremor; Tremor - arms; Kinetic tremor; Intention tremor; Postural tremor
Tremors can happen at any age. They are more common in older people. Everyone has some tremor when they move their hands. Stress, fatigue, anger, fear, caffeine, and smoking may make this type of tremor worse.
A tremor that does not go away over time may be a sign of a medical problem and should be checked by your health care provider.
Essential tremor is the most common tremor. The shaking most often involves small, rapid movements. It usually occurs when you are trying to do something, such as reaching for an object or writing. This type of tremor may also run in families.
Tremor may be caused by:
For tremors caused by stress, try ways to relax, such as meditation or breathing exercises. For tremors of any cause, avoid caffeine and get enough sleep.
For tremors caused by a medicine, talk to your doctor about stopping the drug, reducing the dosage, or switching to another medicine. Do not change or stop medications on your own.
For tremors caused by alcohol use, seek treatment to help you stop drinking alcohol.
Severe tremors may make it hard to do daily activities. You may need help with these activities.
Devices that may help include:
Call your doctor if your tremor:
Your doctor will perform a physical exam, including a detailed brain and nervous system (neurologic) examination. You may be asked questions to help your doctor find the cause of your tremors:
The following tests may be ordered:
Once a cause of the tremor has been determined, treatment will be prescribed.
You may not need treatment unless the tremor interferes with your daily activities or causes embarrassment.
Treatment depends on the cause. Tremor caused by a medical condition, such as hyperthyroidism, will likely get better when the condition is treated.
If the tremor is caused by a certain medicine, stopping the drug will usually help it go away. Never stop taking any medicine without first talking to your doctor.
You may be prescribed medicines to help relieve symptoms. How well medicines work depends on your overall health and the cause of the tremor.

(1/10/2013) The 2012-2013 flu season is off to an early start. In the last 2-4 weeks there has been an early and comparatively higher peak in the number of cases in Connecticut when compared to previous years. This is not indicative that an elevated number will remain�or further increase�throughout the season, but it is indeed a cause of concern about a potentially bad season.
A flu surveillance system in CT is based on estimates from the percent of total visits to the emergency department for �fever/flu� syndrome (10.4% statewide). Hospitals in the New Haven area are showing the same percentage of flu cases as the entire state.
According to the CDC, everyone who is at least 6 months of age should get the flu vaccine. It is especially important for certain groups of people to get vaccinated. Those people include the following:
� People who are at high risk of developing serious complications like pneumonia if they get sick with the flu. This includes: people who have certain medical conditions (including asthma, diabetes, and chronic lung disease); pregnant women; and people 65 years and older.
� People who live with or care for others who are at high risk of developing serious complications. This includes household contacts and caregivers of people with certain medical conditions including asthma, diabetes, and chronic lung disease.
There are some people who should not get a flu vaccine without first consulting a doctor. These include:
�People who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs.
�People who have had a severe reaction to an influenza vaccination.
�Children younger than 6 months of age (influenza vaccine is not approved for this age group).
�People who have a moderate-to-severe illness with a fever (wait until they recover to get vaccinated).
�People with a history of Guillain�Barr� Syndrome that occurred after receiving influenza vaccine and who are not at risk for severe illness from influenza should generally not receive vaccine. Tell your doctor if you ever had Guillain-Barr� Syndrome. Your doctor will help you decide whether the vaccine is recommended for you.
In Connecticut, all pre-K students must have received the flu vaccine by the beginning of the year or be excluded from school. Additionally, all children ages 6-59 months attending a child day care center, group day care home or family day care home are required to receive the flu vaccine.
Flu vaccine is available from providers in the area including most of the pharmacies. Residents are encouraged to contact their doctor to get more information and receive the flu vaccine.

St. George police were looking Thursday afternoon for a man who held up a bank in the southwestern Utah city.
Police Sgt. Sam Despain said the man, described as in his 50s to 60s, walked into the State Bank of Southern Utah at 395 E. St. George Boulevard about 9:40 a.m. He handed a note to a teller demanding money, though no weapon was shown or direct threats made.
Moments later, the man wearing a light blue or gray shirt, navy blue cap and with gray beard stubble and gray hair left on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.
During the ensuing, unsuccessful search of the area for the suspect, East Elementary School near 700 East was locked down for a short time.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the St. George Police Department at 435-627-4300.

USA silver medalist spoke at local swimming conference
Published 2:32 pm, Tuesday, April 9, 2013
An Olympic silver medalist in swimming came to San Antonio over the weekend to share the importance of water safety. USA Swimming partnered with Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., for a regional conference Saturday that highlighted the health benefits of swimming.
Olympic silver medalist Maritza Correia was a featured speaker at the event held at the Hilton Hotel at 611 NW Loop 410. Correia said the event was important to help people understand what to do in a dangerous situation.
"That's a very big problem — for kids that aren't used to being in the water, it's a completely different feel," Correia said on a phone call from Florida. "They get in and they don't know what to do; they start to panic, and that's when you get into a lot of trouble. They waste of energy that way."
Correia said the program would explain how important it is to remain calm if you get in a dangerous situation in the water.
News Channel
"We teach them to relax, to float on their back, to kick to safety, to stay calm until help can get to you. That's one thing we teach: to stay calm when they're in the water," Correia said.

Flames Conclude Regular Season with 5-2 Win Over Campbell
The Liberty men's tennis team wrapped up its regular season on a high note, defeating the Campbell Camels, 5-2, on Thursday afternoon at the Nisbet Tennis Center.
"I'm very proud of these guys," stated Liberty Head Coach Chris Johnson. "We are certainly headed into the tournament on a high note. Taking the last two matches back-to-back on the road is huge."
The Flames are riding a hot streak as they head into next week's Big South Men's Tennis Championship. Liberty has won four-matches in a row, improving its overall record to 12-9 and league mark to 5-3. Thursday's win helps the Flames avenge a pair of losses last season to the Camels, including a narrow 4-3 setback in the quarterfinals of the Big South Championship. Campbell's record falls to 11-7 on the season and 5-2 in conference play.
The Camels opened the match with a win in the No. 3 doubles position, as Marthinus Visser and Jean-Marc Krone knocked off Liberty's Shea Thomas and Guillem Secanell, 8-5.
The Flames responded with a tough win from Stan Vaughan and Alejandro Llamas, 8-7 (7-4), against Rik Van Gerwen and Fernando Guillen in the No. 2 spot.
Liberty looked to its top doubles tandem of Egon Samaai and Dillon Segur to secure the contest's first point. The No. 1 duo delivered with their team-leading 12th win of the season, defeating Dominik Kaniewski and Adrien Rossignon, 8-5.
Campbell came back with victories in two of the first three singles matches to tie the overall team match score at two apiece. At No. 1, Guillen downed Thomas, 6-1, 6-2, before Llamas ousted Krone, 7-6, 6-2, in the No. 6 position. The Camels final point of the match came when Steven Billington knocked off Vaughan in the No. 4 spot, 6-2, 7-5.
The Flames broke open the 2-2 tie with wins in the remaining three tilts. Samaai won his 12th match of the season, besting Visser, 6-3, 2-6, 6-3, at No. 2.
Jorge Azuero delivered the clinching point with a victory in the No. 3 position over Kaniewski, 7-6 (7-5), 6-1.
Segur continued his strong singles play of late with a three-set victory at No. 5, giving Liberty the 5-2 team victory. The junior beat Rossignon, 6-1, 4-6, 6-3, to win his sixth match in a row and improve to 10-5 overall and 6-2 in Big South matches.
The Flames will next compete in the Big South Men's Tennis Championship, which begins next week at Gardner-Webb. Seedings and the schedule for the tournament will be released on Sunday.

"The first date was amazing, and is a memory I will cherish forever. I will never forget how my mom talked to me later that night and said she could see me marrying him one day. Truly a Jewish mother's wise words… she turned out right!"
Our story began when I was in my senior year of college. I was about to graduate from college and move back to my hometown of Houston, Texas. I told my mom, "I want to join JDate. Growing up in Houston, I already know all the Jewish guys in the area. I need to find some new fish!"
I joined JDate. As I was looking through my matches, I happened to click on my now fiance's picture. In a sense, I found him. We talked on JDate for many weeks, and then finally exchanged numbers. The first time we saw each other face-to-face via Skype, it was truly love at first sight.
I finally told my parents I needed to book a flight to come home and see Eric in person. I managed to make it home, and was planning to go on my first date with Eric that Friday night. Eric picked me up from my parent's house that night. Talk about putting the man under pressure! Not only was I meeting him for the first time, but he had to meet my parents that night as well.
The first date was amazing, and is a memory I will cherish forever. I will never forget how my mom talked to me later that night and said she could see me marrying him one day. Truly a Jewish mother's wise words… she turned out right! Fast forward two years, we got engaged!

Excerpted by Michelle Eberle, Consumer Health Coordinator at the National Network of Libraries New England Region (NN/LM NER), from a press release at NIH
Searchable collection contains product information and ingredients from labels of dietary supplements sold in U.S.
Researchers, as well as health care providers and consumers, can now see the ingredients listed on the labels of about 17,000 dietary supplements by looking them up on a website. The Dietary Supplement Label Database, free of charge and hosted by the National Institutes of Health, is available at www.dsld.nlm.nih.gov.
The Dietary Supplement Label Database provides product information in one place that can be searched and organized as desired. "This database will be of great value to many diverse groups of people, including nutrition researchers, healthcare providers, consumers, and others," said Paul M. Coates, Ph.D., director of the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS). "For example, research scientists might use the Dietary Supplement Label Database to determine total nutrient intakes from food and supplements in populations they study."
Dietary supplements, taken regularly by about half of U.S. adults, can add significant amounts of nutrients and other ingredients to the diet. Supplements include vitamins, minerals, herbals and botanicals, amino acids, enzymes, and more. They come in many different forms, including tablets, capsules, and powders, as well as liquids and energy bars. Popular supplements include vitamins D and E; minerals like calcium and iron; herbs such as echinacea and garlic; and specialty products like glucosamine, probiotics, and fish oils.
Hundreds of new dietary supplements are added to the marketplace each year, while some are removed. Product formulations are frequently adjusted, as is information on labels. "The Dietary Supplement Label Database will be updated regularly to incorporate most of the more than 55,000 dietary supplement products in the U.S. marketplace," said Steven Phillips, M.D., director of the National Library of Medicine's Division of Specialized Information Services.
For consumers, the My Dietary Supplements (MyDS) app from ODS is already available, at https://myds.nih.gov. The app is an easy way to keep track of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other products you take, and has science-based, reliable information on dietary supplements.

Leanne O'Reilly, a business marketing major at Mount Saint Mary
College, spends a lot of time pitching at her internship with the
Hudson Valley Renegades baseball team – and she's helping local
children's organizations hit homeruns.
O'Reilly stepped up to the plate for the Renegades' Pitch for
Kids program, which supports groups "that make a positive change in
youth, their families and the community." Beneficiaries include the
Child Abuse Prevention Center, The Phoenix House Poughkeepsie,
D.A.R.E., St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital, and Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Dutchess & Orange County.
While the boys of summer swing away at Dutchess Stadium,
O'Reilly is in charge of running the Pitch for Kids booth, which
reaches out to the community, disseminates information about the
program, and hosts carnival-like games for young baseball fans.
O'Reilly handles cash, customer service, and personal interaction,
while managing several other interns. She also lends her skills to
special Renegades events, such as home run derbies.
As the fans packed the stands on a warm Friday evening, O'Reilly
explained, "As a marketing major, I like being out here in the
community. It's been both exciting and challenging."
The Mahopac, NY native surveyed the field with a smile.
"I used to come to Renegades games when I was a kid, so it feels
natural being here."
O'Reilly began her internship with the Renegades this January,
during the off season. Opening day in June marked her transition to
the more community-oriented position.
The internship has given her valuable experience she can use in
the future, O'Reilly said.
"I've learned a lot," she revealed. "I've done things I've never
thought I could do. It has helped me develop a lot of management
She admits she couldn't have done it alone. O'Reilly named
Colleen Kirk, assistant professor of marketing, as a major factor
in her success.
"I took my first marketing class with her," O'Reilly explained.
"The way she taught made me fall in love with marketing. She's such
an amazing woman."
Kirk was also the inspiration for O'Reilly becoming a member of
Delta Mu Delta, the national honor society in business
administration, as well as Alpha Chi, a general excellence honor
The roar of the crowd and the crack of the bat have long been
music to O'Reilly's ears, and she is aiming for a career in sports
business management.
She's in good company: Mount grad Tyler Tumminia '00, with
degrees in public relations and business administration, manages
day-to-day responsibilities for five minor league teams, including
the Renegades.
Education involves more than just class time, noted Andrew
Weiss, chair of the Mount's business division. It also includes
experiential learning, such as O'Reilly's internship.
At the Mount, business students develop critical thinking and
communication skills to use in the fields of management, finance,
economics, and marketing. The Mount's sports management program
features rigorous courses such as intro to sports management, and
sports economy and finance.
Mount Saint Mary College's business program is accredited by the
International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education. The
college also has accreditation from the Commission on Higher
Education of the Middle States Association, the New York State
Education Department, the National Council for Accreditation of
Teacher Education, and the National Commission on Collegiate
Nursing Education.

That's an amazing statement."

I had a traumatic beet experience as a child, too! I was having lunch in a restaurant with my grandma (a big treat) and I ordered a turkey club sandwich. I thought the little round purple thing on my plate was cranberry sauce -- wouldn't that make sense, with a turkey sandwich? No, it was a beet. I was completely not expecting that taste and it put me off beets.I voted no. I had a traumatic beet experience as a child and cannot stand the sight of them to this day.
But my dad always loved pickled beets.
What was your traumatic experience, b-wavy?

Watch hot gay jocks get off with each other.
Description: Eddie Diaz has crashed at my place a few times since moving to Miami a few months ago and one day asked to be on my website, so I said 'why not.' Now, finding a guy to match him up with was a bit of a challenge. Eddie really likes macho rough men; enter Rob Long. After finding him on a website and texting him back and forth like 25 times to nail him down, but I finally did it, and it happens that Eddie is the one that got nailed in the end! Rob is one hot macho Cubano and the thing I like best about him is his playful personality and that was tough to put on the top of the list especially with his amazingly hot, thick, veiny, uncut cock and his boyishly handsome face. Some models just have that something extra in their personalities and Eddie and Rob are two of them, but I am sure you all will be focusing on their hot Cubano on Cubano, macho to macho, rough action!

How to teach kids to stand up for themselves?
How can I teach my kids to know how to stand up for themselves? When someone makes fun of them, for example, in school? How do you teach kids that sometimes it's just a joke and they should just ignore them and know the difference if it's not good and they have to tell a teacher or person of authority?
3rd October 2013 05:46 AM #2
Dear MumR,
I would have to say that, in this case, we should teach by example. The way that we parent our children (for example; listening to their concerns, helping them to achieve their goals, caring for them) shows them how to interact with others in the world. In particular, how our children view us as parenting their siblings when there is a conflict situation between them models to them how them should deal with other conflict situations (such as at school).
You sound like a very caring mum who has an excellent attachment with her children and I am sure that you teach your children a lot from the way you naturally act without even realising it
I think it is wise to teach our children 'ground rules' i.e. what sort of behaviour is unacceptable for them or anyone to exhibit. This would include physically hurting another person, a bullying situation where a child is made to be a victim and undermining someone's well-being.
You can read books with your children that tell stories of such unacceptable situations and talk about how the characters might be feeling and what your children should do in that situation.
Similarly, we can teach our children to have a sense of humour (again through our own attitudes) and laugh off comments which are not meant harshly.
If you feel that your children are unsure of what is 'just a joke' and what is 'unacceptable behaviour' then you might want to start by getting them to talk through the situations they are in each day and how they felt at the time. It is important that our children know that their emotions matter and that we are listening to them. You can work with your children's class teacher to do this.
If you want to let me know any further specific examples then I could comment further with some more practical ideas.
Warm wishes,

Scene Info
John Magnum's coaching technique involves a lot of verbal thrashing, dick-stroking, and face-fucking - a combination that works well for Craig Reynolds. After a grueling workout John rewards Craig by shoving his thick cock down his throat. As soon as Craig's dick is hard John goes down on him, but not for long. Coach John wants to plow Craig's giant bubble-butt. He mounts the giant wrestler and power-fucks his hole then lies back and thrusts Craig to ride him. Craig grabs the gymnastic rings and bounces up and down on John's cock until they both blow their loads.

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania baseball team (20-12, 6-4 Ivy) couldn't get much going in Saturday's opener against last season's Ivy League Pitcher of the Year, Zak Hermans. Hermans struck out 12 for Princeton (9-21, 6-4 Ivy) in just seven innings, helping keep the Quakers in check in a 7-2 win. The Red and Blue picked themselves back up off the mat quickly though, hitting Kevin Link hard and scoring six runs against the Tigers' game two starter in 2+ innings, putting enough on the board to hold off a Princeton rally in the ninth inning that saw the go-ahead run reach scoring position. Ronnie Glenn battled through some anxious moments but earned his eighth save on the year in Penn's 8-7 win.
The two teams conclude their series tomorrow, returning to Meiklejohn Stadium for a 12 p.m. start. Tomorrow is Youth Day at the ballpark, with the Phillie Phanatic making an appearance from 12-1, and free soda and hot dogs for all little leaguers in attendance.
Game One – Princeton 7, Penn 2
Box Score
Princeton pounced on Penn starter Connor Cuff immediately to open the top of the first inning. Alec Keller smacked a lead-off double as part of a 4-for-4 game at the plate and Danny Hoy worked a walk behind him. With two on and no one out, Mike Ford blasted a three-run shot into right-center to give the Tigers a working margin of 3-0 before Hermans even set foot on the mound.
Princeton upped its lead in the top of the second, an unfortunate turn of events for the Quakers, who should have escaped the inning with relatively little damage. Keller was able to just loft a single over Mike Vilardo at second base for a RBI that made it 4-0, but the worst came when Hoy skied a ball into left field that Connor Betbeze lost in the air. By the time in landed in shallow left, Hoy was on second and Keller had raced around to make it a 5-0 ballgame.
Penn tried to rally, scoring one run in the home halves of the second and third inning. Spencer Branigan led off the bottom of the second with a deep double to right. He later scored on a sacrifice fly from Ryan Mincher to make it 5-1. Rick Brebner unleashed a solo home run in the third inning to get the Quakers as close as they would get in the first game, 5-2.
Frustration for Penn boiled over in the fifth inning as Cuff was called for a balk with runners on the corners, allowing another Princeton run to score. Cuff's fake to third and throw back to first had caught Alex Flink well off the bag, but the pick-off was nullified and the Tiger lead expanded to 6-2 as the both the crowd and the Penn dugout erupted in disagreement. Princeton tacked on one last bit of insurance in the seventh with a sac fly to make it a 7-2 ballgame.
Brebner led the offense for the Red and Blue with a 2-for-2 game at the plate along with a walk. Cuff fell to 4-3 on the year with the loss while Hermans improved to 3-2.
Game Two – Penn 8, Princeton 7
Box Score
Shackled by Hermans in game one, Penn found the going much easier against Link, scoring in each of the first three innings against the Princeton starter and establishing a comfortable lead early. Brandon Engelhardt led the game off with a single, stole second and scored on a RBI single from Ryan Deitrich to make it a 1-0 game in the bottom of the first.
After Princeton came back to take a 2-1 lead in the second inning, the Quakers responded with two more in the bottom of the second. Ryan Mincher doubled Austin Bossart home to tie the game up, then Mitch Montaldo brought Mincher in from third with a groundout to make it a 3-2 contest.
The Tigers roared back once more in the top of the third to tie the game off Penn starter Jeff McGarry, but the Quakers wouldn't be denied in a critical showdown between the two Gehrig Division rivals. Mike Vilardo led off the bottom of the third with a walk, then scored immediately as Deitrich doubled down the left field line. Brebner followed Deitrich with a double deep into center field for another RBI, then advanced to third as reliever Luke Strieber walked Branigan and uncorked a wild pitch that went to the backstop on ball four. A Mincher single plated Brebner to put Penn up, 6-3.
McGarry quickly sat down the Tigers in the fourth and fifth innings to solidify the lead. In the bottom half of the fifth, Bossart lifted a solo shot out and over the fence in left-center for his second home run in the past four days – his first came on an inside-the-park homer at La Salle for his first home run in the Red and Blue.
Steve Harrington drew Princeton a little closer with a solo home run of his own in the top of the sixth, but McGarry teamed with Stephen Silvestri and John Beasley to get out of the sixth with a 7-4 lead. Three Tiger errors in the bottom of the sixth helped put Penn back up by four. Engelhardt reached on a one-out error by Flink, advanced to second on a throwing error by pitcher Michael Fagan, then scored on a stolen base and throwing error from catcher Tyler Servais to make it 8-4.
Penn was still up by three, 8-5, to open the ninth inning. With Glenn in search of his Ivy League-leading eighth save, the sophomore worked his way into some trouble. A soft liner from lead-off man Nate Baird found a hole in the Penn defense, and Glenn then walked Keller to put two on with no outs. Hoy followed with a double to bring Baird around and put the tying run in scoring position. Things got worse before they got better as Glenn then hit Ford with a pitch to load the bases for Harrington, coming off his first home run of the year earlier in the contest.
Just as Penn's chances started to look bleak, Glenn found his mojo and mowed down the Tigers to end it. Harrington struck out looking for the first out of the inning. Flink followed with a weak tapper down the third base line that Glenn raced to field. Picking the ball up cleanly, he wheeled and fired, earning the second out on a bang-bang call that brought cries of protest from the Princeton dugout to no avail. Though a run scored to make it 8-7, Glenn calmly took care of pinch-hitter Jonathan York, striking him out swinging to give the Quakers the vital victory.
McGarry scattered seven hits and four runs across 5.1 innings to earn the win and improve to 4-2. Princeton's bullpen did a solid job of keeping its team in the game, but the six runs charged to Link drop him to 1-3 on the year. Engelhardt was 2-for-5 in the lead-off spot, picking up his 100th career hit in the fourth inning. Deitrich, Brebner and Bossart added two hits apiece, while Mincher collected a team-high three hits and knocked in two runs.

USC lands $10.1 million NIH grant to study inflammation, establish center
By Steven Powell, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-1923
The University of South Carolina has been awarded a $10.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to establish a new national center for research on the use of dietary supplements to treat inflammation.
Inflammation is a double-edged sword. Although essential for helping tissues recover from infection and injuries, it's also a common thread woven through the origin and development of nearly every malady – from stroke to cancer to allergies to heart attacks.
"The immune response is there to protect you against infection, but we now know that lingering, low-grade inflammation is a serious problem," said Prakash Nagarkatti, Carolina Distinguished Professor and USC's vice president for research. "It can lead to cancer, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, heart attacks and Alzheimer's. Almost all of the clinical disorders are, in some way or another, connected to inflammation."
Over the past several years, work at USC, supported by a $6 million grant from NIH, has identified the underlying mechanisms by which a range of dietary supplements reduce inflammation.
"This research has paved the way to obtain additional support from NIH that is aimed at preventing and treating chronic inflammation," said Nagarkatti, who will serve as director of the new center. "We believe that achieving that could completely revolutionize the treatment and prevention of clinical disorders."
The Center for Dietary Supplements and Inflammation, funded by a $10.1 million, five-year grant through the NIH Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) program, will be housed at the USC School of Medicine in Columbia.
The interdisciplinary center will be co-directed by Mitzi Nagarkatti, chair of the department of pathology, microbiology and immunology at the School of Medicine.
The center will help in the recruitment and training of at least 16 faculty members. Its faculty researchers will encompass many schools and colleges, including the School of Medicine, the Arnold School of Public Health, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Engineering and Computing, the College of Pharmacy and the College of Nursing.

My sister (M) was diagnosed as early onset Alzheimer's last year. she has just turned 57. She lives with my other sister (A, her twin) who is stuggling with the emotional stress. I feel not enough support is being offered. They have a once a week visit to the house by an Occupational Therapist and that's it. She is on Aricept but there has been no notable improvement. We feel M need more stimulation, we feel as though she is giving up. A has tried lots of different activities with her but nothing seems to capture her interest. I live 100 miles away and work full time so I can't spend time to help A apart from weekends. I spent the weekend with them both recently and I feel M has just become so disconnected with life. We just don't know what to do. Also A and her husband have booked a week's holiday - they desperately need some time to themselves. I will take a week's leave to be with M but (I need some advice here!) should I stay in her own house or should I bring her to my house? I thought perhaps being in my house might be a change of scenery but then I thought maybe she would find the change too much and might get distressed. Help!!
Sorry about this rather inarticulate ramble. Any help/suggestions very welcome!

SHOCK VIDEO: Bus driver kicks special needs child off bus
(Liz Klimas) A bus driver in Florida has been fired and charged after she was caught on video literally kicking a special-needs child off the bus, causing the girl to hurt her ankle.
The incident occurred in September, but prosecutors just this week released the video showing what happened.
The driver, 41-year-old Stephanie Wilkerson, has been charged with aggravated child abuse. A phone number listed for her was disconnected, and it was not immediately known if she had an attorney.
Police say Wilkerson was driving the special-needs children to school in Tampa on Sept. 28 when the 8-year-old wanted to get off the bus. She was told to wait her turn, but police say the student, who WTSP identified as autistic, slapped and pushed the driver.
The video shows Wilkerson using her foot to push the girl off the stairs after she hesitated for about a minute. The girl fell and fractured her ankle.
WPIX reported that although the audio was not captured on the video released by the Hillsborough State Attorney's Office, the driver is reported to have also said "I'd buy a belt, if she were mine she would not hit adults ever again."

All of us siblings have allergies. I have sinusitis, my brother have fungal infection and my youngest sister who died of peripartum cardiomyopathy (from my previous post) have asthma.
Our mom is asthmatic, however, she told us that only on her last pregnancy she had this asthma due to "chalk". She was a school teacher and used chalk everyday.
My concern is, my children also have sinusitis and skin allergy.
Does it have something to do with my mom being asthmatic?
Is there any remedy or preventive measures not to pass on this allergy?

How to overcome allergies
Hi carolg,
Constitutional weaknesses are often passed down from generation to generation. It sounds like your mother had a weakness in her lungs which manifested itself in asthma. The chalk may have just been a contributing factor, but plenty of school teachers have been around chalk dust, day in and day out, and have not developed asthma.
My guess is that your mother and father's constitutional weaknesses were embedded in the genetic make-up of her egg and his sperm, and were passed down to their children. You have a constitutional weakness that manifested itself in the sinuses and you likely passed that weakness on to your children.
It's good to know what your weaknesses are so you can be sure to avoid things that aggravate them. But in general, one of the best things you can do to overcome sensitivities and allergies is to boost the immune system.
In specific, I've found that people who have skin rashes or dry skin respond really well to increasing the essential fatty acids in the diet. This can be done by making sure the family is eating plenty of fatty fish each week. Some recommend 8 ounces a week. Good choices are salmon, tuna, oysters, pollock, shrimp, herring and sardines. Be sure to avoid fish that is high in mercury.
Other foods that are high in Omega 3 Fatty Acids are egg yolk, flax seeds or flax seed oil, walnuts, pecans, wheat germ and olive oil.
If you make a green smoothie each day for your children, and put some flax oil in it, it should greatly help your children's skin allergies. Here's a video showing how to make a super healthy green smoothie. The more sweet fruit you use (i.e. bananas, etc.) the less "green" you will taste. My children LOVE green smoothies and make them every day. You can start with less greens and work up to more later, but do start making some green smoothies and adding flax oil and I think you'll see some good change in your allergies.
It's also really important for anyone considering pregnancy to go on a preconception plan which includes a super healthy and clean diet, and a healthy lifestyle. It takes 3-4 months to create an egg which is mature and can be fertilized, and it takes 3-4 months to create healthy sperm which can penetrate an egg, so 3-4 months of preconception care (minimum) will be helpful.
Hope this information helps, and please post back with any questions you may have.
Warm Regards,

very well said. I'll try this on with my kids. Would you recommend vitamins instead? Brand in particular? It's just that may kids are choosy with foods. Honestly speaking, they only eat whenever they like the food. specially my youngest who only eats pasta, and she can survive her meal with only rice and soup! But any kind of soup, only the soup that she likes.

Hi Carolg,
A multi-vitamin can be helpful in optimizing nutrition. Often you can find a high quality product by visiting your health store and talking to the manager (the manager is often more knowledgeable than the clerks). You could also find a Chiropractor who has knowledge in nutrition and ask him/her. My Chiropractor sells a high quality line of supplements.
If your children are very picky in what they will and will not eat, my guess is that they are not getting a balanced diet high in fresh or frozen vegetables (canned vegetables have very little nutrient value).
I suggest that you take some time to invest in changing your children's eating habits. One way to do this is to tell them that they will be expected to eat what they are served, and that you're going to try to serve them a more balanced diet that has more vegetables in it.
Then if they don't eat what's served (refuse to even try it) you can let them know that they will not have any more food until they eat it. If that means they don't want dinner, you can serve that same plate of dinner food to them for breakfast. If they refuse to eat at breakfast, you can serve it at lunch. You just cover it and put it back in the refrigerator.
They will eventually get hungry enough to eat, and you can also make it look really good by eating it yourself and looking like you are really enjoying it - wide eyes and saying, "mmmmmm".
If they eat most of the items, but you know they're not full and they are just not wanting to eat the vegetables (for example) you would let them know that there will be no dessert for them and they will have to eat their vegetables before they get anything else (other than water - they can drink as much water as they want). And then you serve them the vegetables again at the next meal.
We have used this method with all of our children, and there have definitely been times when each of them hasn't wanted to eat what was placed before them. But as long as the food was healthy for them and wasn't unpleasant (meaning my husband and/or I would eat it) then we would expect them to eat it too (or at least take 3 bites, depending upon the situation). But with each child, they quickly realized how this works, and they know that if we say they have to eat something before they get anything else, they will actually go to the refrigerator and get it out and eat it, so they can have the next "yummier tasting" food.
We don't have a single picky eater in our family because we've always believed in developing healthy eating habits with our children. The most important reason being that they will benefit from these habits for their entire life. You certainly don't want your children starting life off overweight and with allergies and possible depression because they're constantly eating simple carbohydrates like pancakes, pasta and rice.
I hope this gives you some new insights on how to train your children to eat healthy foods you prepare. You can most certainly start with offering them smoothies made of bananas and orange juice, or bananas, orange juice and pineapple (my personal favorite), and if they like that, then a couple of weeks later (when you've weaned them from their pickiness) add a little dark leafy greens to the smoothie. If you make these changes gradually (maybe adding one or two new healthy foods to their diet each week) you will all eventually be eating much better, and the allergies should decrease.
Warm Regards,

I have a 6 x 19 1/2 x 2 1/2 WRV Slayer board in good shape with futures fins - I've had it about 8 months. There was a ding on the bottom near the rail that I've patched and sanded, and a couple little bumps on the deck (nothing cracked or even slightly major - the board still looks fresh) from my knees bumping it I guess. The ding was a result of my head hitting the board after I got sent over the falls at Wilderness PR :rolleyes:
It's a really fun all around board that has served me well but I have waaaay too many now and I'm trying to make sure I have more than enough cash stacked up for my winter trips/potential move.

Can you provide some more details about the hardware, such as the specific wireless card model? Commands like lspci or lshw should tell you.
Wireless works fine.
The screen isn't properly recognized, but video drivers can be obtained from Nvidia directly.
The touchpad isn't recognized at first.
In order to make it work, follow directions from here :

Or :
Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to add "i8042.nopnp" (without quotes) at the end of the kernel line.
run update-grub
Can you provide some more details about the hardware, such as the specific wireless card model? Commands like lspci or lshw should tell you.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
When I type "Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to add i8042.nopnp" into the Backtrack command line (root@bt:~#) it returns "Edit: command not found"...so what exactly should I be typing in?
I'm having this same problem on my vaio, I can't get the touch pad to work....
Re: interesting find, sony vaio laptop touchpad devices
See /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
"PNP: PS/2 appears to have AUX port disabled, if this is incorrect please boot with i8042.nopnp"
This turns out to be the correct advise for Sony VAIO laptops.
Here's the fix:
1. Edit /etc/default/grub to include GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i8042.nopnp"
2. Run: sudo update-grub
3. Reboot.
(So then, booting into Windows is unnecessary.)

WaPo Editorial Attacks Japanese Parliament Member Fujita
Published today in the Editorial pages of the Washington Post's print edition.

A leading Japanese politician espouses a 9/11 fantasy
March 8, 2010
YUKIHISA FUJITA is an influential member of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan. As chief of the DPJ's international department and head of the Research Committee on Foreign Affairs in the upper house of Japan's parliament, to which he was elected in 2007, he is a Brahmin in the foreign policy establishment of Washington's most important East Asian ally. He also seems to think that America's rendering of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, is a gigantic hoax.
Mr. Fujita's ideas about the attack on the World Trade Center, which he shared with us in a recent interview, are too bizarre, half-baked and intellectually bogus to merit serious discussion. He questions whether it was really the work of terrorists; suggests that shadowy forces with advance knowledge of the plot played the stock market to profit from it; peddles the fantastic idea that eight of the 19 hijackers are alive and well; and hints that controlled demolition rather than fire or debris may be a more likely explanation for at least the collapse of the building at 7 World Trade Center, which was adjacent to the twin towers.
As with almost any calamity whose scale and scope assume historic proportions, the events of Sept. 11 have spawned a thriving subculture of conspiracy theorists at home and abroad. The only thing novel about Mr. Fujita is that a man so susceptible to the imaginings of the lunatic fringe happens to occupy a notable position in the governing apparatus of a nation that boasts the world's second-largest economy.
