Few readers, even of the Financial Times, will feel much sympathy for executives in the international energy business who complain about their lot. Paid in the hundreds of thousands (at least), travelling around in executive jets and chauffeured cars, pampered by executive assistants and personal assistants – life surely can't get much better.
But there is a real and serious problem that merits some attention. Many senior executives are exhausted and burnt out. Across the business world, there have recently been a number of high-profile cases of executives who have given up their jobs because of the stresses involved. António Horta-Osório, chief executive of Lloyds Banking Group, and Hector Sants, former head of compliance at Barclays, are the most prominent names. In the energy sector, companies and individuals shun publicity. But, in the past few weeks, I have heard of four cases of individuals who have in one way or another collapsed under the pressure of their jobs. One leading company is undertaking a thorough analysis of the psychological health of its top 50 people, and I would be surprised if others don't follow. Read more

Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
xvidcap is in the backtrack repos so you can just type apt-get install xvidcap into terminal just as archangel said.
Or they can just type in syanptic in the konsole, and look for xvidcap in the Synaptic pakage manager GUI. I personly like using the apt-get install {pakage_name_here} as archangel and dex1218 suggest.

|French Butter Dish

I consider adding butter to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich an act of marriage. I also prefer butter frosting on cakes and swoon over herbs and butter on pasta.
|French Butter Dish
James Sloss Pottery
One of my fondest childhood memories, is the one you haven't tried ~ butter on a hard boiled egg.
My English grandfather ate a hard boiled egg from a proper egg cup every morning for breakfast. Gently cracking and slicing the top of the egg off, the steaming egg begged for a small pat of butter, as well as a bit of salt. He loved to tease me by turning over an empty egg shell into my cup to greet me when I joined him.
Hi KJ,
Butter to me, is right up there with bacon. You know how they say that everything is better with Bacon, well, butter could be bacon's cousin because fresh baked bread and deserts just wouldn't be the same without it.
I could make every meal out of fresh bread and butter and soup...perfect. Have a great week Karen.
I receive comments through my Facebook as well and wanted to share Nancy B's response:
"I grew up on not peanut butter and jelly, but peanut butter and butter. Still prefer it although I have developed a taste for PB&J. I loved butter so much that my Dad told me about how in WWII the Germans had to ration it with the saying "guns or butter!"
Karen June Miller
I don't have many years of culinary experience but i have definitely noticed many of my dishes seem to magically come together when i use butter! -BreezyReplyDelete

Our Dearest Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Glory be to Jesus Christ!
Summer is full and green here at the Skete's hills and valleys, with just a little brown because of the lack of rain so far this season. Like many other parts of the country it has been at times particularly hot and dry. Yet we were spared the very worst weather, such as tornados, flash floods, and severe storms, as they have gone either north or south of us as they blew in from the west. Over a week ago in Dubuque, Iowa, only sixty miles southwest of us, a record 10.3 inches of rain fell within 24 hours, with flooded streets and basements, missing manhole covers, and many stranded motorists–truly a torrential downpour.
For many of us all across the nation, this has been quite a trying year in weather, and also in economics. But as Christians, we can learn by conscious practice how to creatively and cooperatively rework with God our trials and tribulations into goodness and blessings. It takes much awareness and active mental and physical work, but then our sorrows can turn into joys. The transcendent God, full of goodness and love through His Son Jesus Christ, can give us the wisdom and understanding to keep and increase our faith, hope, and love. Then we can see the blessings, when all we saw before with worldly eyes was the pain.
It is precisely in living our lives as Christians, and looking to Heavenly ways and thoughts, that suffering can have a positive meaning and purpose in this world. We all suffer, for that is a given on earth, but the real question is how to use it positively. We can all begin this journey with Christ by being aware first and foremost of all that we are not alone. He is here–right now and right here–present and near, loving and with mercy for our hearts and souls. We need to start to acknowlege this daily, and then with time even more often, until moment by moment He becomes ever closer to our mind and heart. The greatest suffering that each and every one of us continuously experience, but are almost completely unaware of, is our lack of a conscious, loving, and dependent relationship with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour of our souls. It is the foundation of all our pain. If we act as if God is present, even when we don't initially perceive it, then He becomes more and more present. It is only our own eyes that can't yet see reality. In just a few days, if we look this way, then we will see more.
Secondly, we need to back up and try to get a larger view of the pain that we are now aware of, and what are its causes. Are we suffering because we don't get what we want? Are we suffering because we are listening and agreeing to worldly thoughts of greed, selfishness, wealth, pleasure, lust, or ease? Maybe those expectations are unreal or not good for us. Or are we really suffering because we don't know what to do when we feel this way? With a little reflection, and maybe even writing down what it is we really want and then what we really need, and what is disappointing to us and why, this larger view can become more clear.
Thirdly, we can be thankful for both what we do have and what we don't have. Having less is a wonderful opportunity to sympathize with others who have even less, and then go the next step of even sharing more of what you have. If we study those who are poor all over the world, they tend to be more generous, even in their poverty, than those who have more. Christ was poor outwardly, but infinitely rich inwardly. Our giving is the very best way to receive from Christ that spiritual richness. The more you do this, even in small ways, the more generous your heart and mind will become. Mercy and Love are living icons of the Living God. The only way to understand this, however, is by personal experience. Charity also covers a mulitude of sins. It always begins by doing.
Lastly, we have to become proactive in this our spiritual renewal by turning to God for understanding and strength to make what seems unfortunate into good. He is good, all good, and ever good. Everything that He made in this world was good from its creation. He said so and affirmed this in the accounts in Genesis. Man, in particular, in his creation was said to be very good. This goodness can shine in us if we are with Him, if we learn to trust Him, work with Him, turn to Him, act in Him, love in Him, and live in Him. His light will reflect in our hearts until we too shine with goodness.
Don't listen to those voices that say that life is random and without meaning, that evil is stronger than good, and that the true story is mostly bad, not good. Don't listen to those voices that tell us that we are helpless victims of circumstances and can do nothing about it. Let us join our voice to God in prayer. Nothing good is impossible with God. May His creative good recreate our minds to see that if our hearts are in Heaven, then all things will work for the good!
We, too, at the Skete are exploring this ascent into goodness by more thankfulness, inward and outward prayer, generosity to others, even in our want, and by seeing everything with the Gospel's call to seek His Kingdom first of all, and believe that all needed things will be added. Our relationship with our many friends and benefactors is important to us, and it is why we write to you in these newsletters. It shares our hopes and dreams, pains and sorrows, joys and gladness, and in your feedback, we share those same things in your life that you tell us about. In our mutual prayers we are united through Christ to be close and truly near. In Him all these things are possible. It is the normal relationship of monastic communities to the Faithful.
This is our third email and direct mail sent to you this year of a newsletter and donation appeal. The last few months have been particularly difficult for us as our donations have been even less than before. We do want to thank you for your generosity, however, as it is not the amount that carries blessings and love, but the little given from the heart, and we ask God to bless you for such love. A little from many goes a long way, and we all can give a little.
We are asking first of all for the means here at the Skete to have the time and energy to live a life of prayer and outreach to all we come in contact with. We often eat quite simply. Our clothes are simple too. We have few possessions for ourselves. We try to put others and their needs before ourselves daily. We always give gifts to the many guests and visitors who come, and share our food and hospitality as we are able. We are working to help others with our icons, devotional goods, books, and educational materials. It is the reason that we do this work for all these years.
St. Isaac's Common Monastic Building
We are asking again for capital funds this year to help complete the beautiful Common Monastic Building which has been 12 years in construction. It will provide kitchen, dining, bathroom and shower, laundry, library, tool, and work space for the monks living here now and in the future. The next item we want to work on in this building is to increase and update our minimal solar electrical system as our back valley is already off the grid. We need many more solar panels, a larger inverter, more batteries, and a control panel and system to make this work for the pump for our wood boiler for heating this winter, and for the future well and water system still in planning. The initial costs will be about $6,000 now to get more panels and the poles and brackets to mount them. Help us move forward on this if you can.
The Convent is looking to add an additional room for storage. We would have the labor to do this without additional cash flow outlay this Fall. We just lack the construction materials. This would cost about $5,000. Mother Elizabeth also needs regular contributions to help her pay for her daily needs and special medicines and medical cost for her diabetes. She remembers all of her donors in prayer and thanksgiving. Please help her if you can.
In conclusion we ask that your hearts be full of God's goodness and increasing your love this Summer. We ask you to remember us in your prayers and share with us a little of the blessings you have received if you can. We are earnestly praying for you and your life and for your abundant growth this Summer.
God bless you and keep you in His Holy Name,
Your Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The monastics of St. Isaac of Syria Skete and the Convent of St. Silouan, and the community at St. Nicholas Church

IDF officials: Missile attack on Israel would produce less than 300 casualties (HA´ARETZ NEWS) By Barak Ravid 04/03/12)
Source: http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/idf-officials-missile-attack-on-israel-would-produce-less-than-300-casualties-1.422219
HA'ARETZ} NEWS SERVICE Articles-Index-Top
Israel Defense Forces officials told cabinet ministers on Monday that should Israel undergo a coordinated missile attack, there would be less than 300 Israeli casualties.
The number was mentioned by IDF officials during a discussion in Israel´s security-diplomatic cabinet, Channel 10 reported on Monday, and is far lower than the number mentioned previously by Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who reportedly said that a maximum of 500 Israelis would die in such an attack.
During the meeting, a senior official in the Israel Air Force told the cabinet ministers that in the event of a coordinated missile attack on Israel´s home front, missiles and rockets would be fired at Israel by the Syrian army, Hezbollah in Lebanon, terror organizations in Gaza, and most probably by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as well.
According to one of the cabinet ministers, the IAF believes that for three weeks, thousands of missiles and rockets would land in Israel, and the number of people dead would reach 300, as well as hundreds of people wounded and severe damage to property and infrastructure. The officer who presented the data before the ministers noted that the scenario is an assessment based on the situation in 2012, but could change in the future.
Despite that the subject of the discussion was not the possibility of war with Iran, such a coordinated terror attack on Israel is expected mostly in the event of an Israeli strike on Iran´s nuclear facilities. The defense establishment is split regarding the dimensions of an Iranian attack.
Another argument surrounds the question whether Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas would join Iran and launch missiles toward Israel. According to some of the assessments in the intelligence community, the Iranian response would include aid from Hezbollah, Syria, and Hamas, but other assessments suggest that these actors would be deterred by the Israeli retaliation against them and would not rush to aid Iran.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak believe that the Iranian response to an attack on its nuclear facilities would not necessarily bring about a coordinated attack on Israel. They both emphasize that in any case, the scenario in which Iran would have a nuclear bomb would be much more dangerous. (© Copyright 2012 Ha´aretz 04/03/12)

After trade, Loons' Martin blazing path
Dodgers prospect leads Midwest League with 37 strikeouts
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | May 2, 2012 7:38 PM ET
The Dodgers prospect gave up two hits and struck out five over seven shutout innings as Class A Great Lakes defeated Lansing, 7-1, on Wednesday.
Martin allowed a two-out double to Kevin Pillar in the first inning and a single to Chris Hawkins in the second. The 22-year-old left-hander also walked Carlos Perez to start the fifth before retiring the final nine batters to face him.
"We got a lead right in the first inning, so I was going out there and filling up the zone trying to give my team a chance to win," Martin said. "I was letting them put it into play and let my defense play behind me."
Originally an 18th-round pick of the Orioles in 2009, Martin was acquired by the Dodgers in the offseason from Baltimore in exchange for veteran hurler Dana Eveland. For the California native, the trade was a blessing.
"I actually grew up a Dodgers fan, and when I got the call that I was traded, I couldn't be more excited to play for my childhood team," Martin said. "It's been the greatest gift of my career.
"I went to Dodgers pitching camp in January and got my feet wet and we did a few mechanical changes that have been night and day for me. It's increased my velocity. My fastball has gone up from the 89-to 92-mph [range] and now it's from 91-95, peaking at 96 from time to time. Before my arm was dragging back and I wasn't able to be consistent in the strike zone. It wasn't up to par with where I'd like it to be. Now we have my hands break earlier to where my arms can catch up. It's a repeatable delivery that I can repeat every game."
Martin has enjoyed a strong 2012 campaign, going 2-1 with a 2.91 ERA in six starts for the Loons. He's yielded 27 hits in 34 innings of work and his 37 strikeouts currently pace the Midwest League.
"The key has been throwing strikes more consistently. In my past I've had a hard time controlling my fastball, and getting a high pitch count and giving up too many walks. For me, it's not even about striking guys out, it's about getting deep into the game and keeping the pitch count down."
Martin pitched in the South Atlantic League last season, going 5-12 with a 4.96 ERA in 31 outings for Delmarva. As such, his goals for the season are straight forward.
"I played Class A last year, so I'm a repeat offender," Martin said. "My goal is to make it the highest level possible, I'm shooting for Double-A. I'm trying to go out there and put up numbers and give my team a chance to win and give myself a chance to move up. My ultimate goal is to make it to the big leagues, and the more I can be in the zone and challenge the hitters and challenge myself, the sky is the limit."
Joseph Winker sparked the Loons' offense, driving in four runs and falling a triple shy of the cycle while Jesus Arredondo was 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two stolen bases.
Noah Syndergaard, the Blue Jays' No. 4 prospect, allowed three unearned runs and fanned five in three innings of relief for the Lugnuts.

Billy Corgan sues L.A. distributor for breach of contract
Listen to Smashing Pumpkins on iHeartRadio
Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan is suing an L.A.-based music distributor over unpaid revenues.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the breach of contract suit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Wednesday against Rocket Science -- the distributor behind the Pumpkins' "Teargarden by Kaleidyscope" project.
Corgan says he entered into an agreement with Rocket Science at the start of 2010, but by September 2011 the company had stopped sending revenue payments. He also claims that the distributor's main executive, Kevin Day, was mishandling money and using business funds for personal expenses.
The suit says the exact amount Corgan is owed can't be determined without an accounting of Day's receipts and expenses.

Dear Abby Spreads Word on GSA's Free Publications
Millions of citizens receive official government information
September 25, 2009
Contact: Tobi Edler, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON — Millions of citizens rely on the U.S. General Services Administration as a source of vital government information available free through GSA's Federal Citizen Information Center (FCIC) in Pueblo, Colorado. For years, the "Dear Abby" column has guided millions of Americans to information on topics such as staying healthy, saving money, and being a smart consumer.
In the month of May alone, "Dear Abby" fans ordered more then 1 million publications as a result of her column highlighting topics such as heart disease, stroke, cholesterol, depression, and diabetes. And over the past 5 years, Dear Abby fans have ordered more than 5 million government publications from FCIC.
GSA thanked "Dear Abby" author Jeanne Phillips Wednesday for promoting the vital government information available through the Federal Citizen Information Center, which has been a trusted one-stop source for government information for more than 40 years.
"When the public is informed about the resources available to them by their government, they become engaged and empowered," said GSA Acting Administrator Paul Prouty during Phillips' visit to GSA Headquarters. "'Dear Abby' has helped citizens by guiding them to free publications provided by GSA. Our Office of Citizen Services is committed to giving Americans easy access to government information by web, by phone, and by print. Basically in whatever format best meets their needs."
"Dear Abby" is one of the most widely syndicated newspaper columns in the world, appearing in 1,400 newspapers worldwide with a daily readership of 110 million, according to uExpress.com, a web-based source for advice and opinion columns. Phillips, daughter of the original "Dear Abby" columnist who wrote under the pen name Abigail Van Buren, has been a longtime proponent of the free government publications available from FCIC.
The Federal Citizen Information Center is a part of GSA's Office of Citizen Services. In addition to print publications, GSA offers helpful government information to the public through a variety of channels. These include USA.gov and GobiernoUSA.gov, its Spanish language counterpart. GSA also responds to questions from the public via email, web chat, and toll-free phone at 1-800-FED-INFO (333-4636) and educates citizens through email alerts and the U.S. government blog, GovGab.gov.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 213,000 vehicles.
GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 480 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? Over the past year, GSA's Office of Citizen Services has had more than 240 million touch points with the public, providing government information across a wide variety of channels.

Osmolality - urine
The osmolality urine test measures the concentration of particles in urine.
Osmolality (particles per kilogram of water) and osmolarity (particles per liter of solution) are sometimes confused. But for dilute fluids such as urine, they are essentially the same.
Osmolality can also be measured using a blood test.
How the Test is Performed
A clean-catch urine sample is needed. The clean-catch method is used to prevent germs from the penis or vagina from getting into a urine sample. To collect your urine, the health care provider may give you a special clean-catch kit that contains a cleansing solution and sterile wipes. Follow instructions exactly so that the results are accurate.
How to Prepare for the Test
Your health care provider will ask you to temporarily stop any medicines that may affect the test results. Be sure to tell your provider about all the medicines you take, including dextran and sucrose. Do not stop taking any medicine before talking to your doctor.
Also tell your provider if you recently received intravenous dye (contrast medium) for an x-ray. The dye can also affect test results.
How the Test Will Feel
The test involves normal urination. There is no discomfort.
Why the Test is Performed
This test helpscheck your body's water balance and urine concentration.
Osmolality is a more exact measurement of urine concentration than the urine specific gravity test.
Normal Results
Normal values are as follows:
- Random specimen: 50 to 1200 milliosmoles per kilogram (mOsm/kg)
- 12 to 14 hour fluid restriction: Greater than 850 mOsm/kg
Normal values varyfrom lab to lab. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results are indicated as follows:
Greater-than-normal measurements may indicate:
- Heart failure
- Loss of body fluids (dehydration)
- Narrrowing of hte kidney artery (renal artery stenosis)
- Shock
- Sugar, or glucose, in the urine
- Syndrome of inappropriate ADH secrettion (SIADH)
Lower-than-normal measurements may indicate:
- Damage to kidney tubule cells (renal tubular necrosis)
- Drinking too much fluid
- Kidney failure
- Severe kidney infection (pyelonephritis)
There are no risks with this test.

School of Prayer I
In this conference, Fr Evaristo Sada, LC talks about prayer as a means to be rooted in Gods love. He proposes that we learn to see the spiritual life as a path not of duty, but of beauty, relating to God not as a judge, but as a Father who loves, understands, and accepts us. Prayer is a heart-to-heart conversation with Jesus, our brother and redeemer, and it is something that should be part of our everyday routine.

Gram-negative meningitis is an infection of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges) from bacteria that turn pink when exposed to a special stain (Gram-negative bacteria).
Gram-negative meningitis
Acute bacterial meningitis can be caused by Gram-negative bacteria.
Meningococcal and H. influenzae meningitis are due to Gram-negative bacteria and are covered in detail in other articles. This article covers bacteria causing Gram-negative meningitis due to the following common causes:
Gram-negative meningitis is more common in infants than adults, but is of growing importance in adults, especially those with one or more risk factors. Risk factors in adults and children include:
Other symptoms that can occur with this disease:
The doctor or nurse will examine you. This will usually show:
If the health care provider thinks you may have meningitis, a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) should be done to remove a sample of spinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF) for testing.
Other tests that may be done include:
This list is not all-inclusive.
Antibiotics should be started as soon as possible. Ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, or cefepime are the most commonly used antibiotics for this type of meningitis. Other antibiotics may be used, depending on the type of bacteria.
If you have a spinal shunt, it may be removed.
The early treatment is started, the better the outcome.
Many people recover completely, but a large number of people have permanent brain damage or die from this type of meningitis. Young children and adults over age 50 have the highest risk of death. How well you do depends on:
Call the local emergency number (such as 911) or go to an emergency room if you suspect meningitis in a young child who has the following symptoms:
Call the local emergency number if you develop any of the serious symptoms listed above. Meningitis can quickly become a life-threatening illness.
Prompt treatment of related infections may reduce the risk of meningitis.

By Kathleen Perricone
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting married this weekend!
E! News' Melanie Bromley is in Paris right now to cover the big event and she called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Friday morning to give us the latest details.
"At any point, they can get married," she explains. "I'm kind of expecting a call at any time."
Although the Kardashians are not as big in France as they are in America, Melanie says after four days in the City of Light, "they're now closing down streets for them … because it's become such a massive deal."

Seriously Dusty? You couldn't have a great defensive OF and Gomes DH?
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
This is easily the worst move of the year. Seriously, why in the hell would you DH Cairo?
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
These 2 games against these 2 pitchers are going to tell me a lot.
And while on the subject of Cliff Lee...under what scenario does a guy with an ERA of around 5 over 4 years suddenly become a no-doubter top-5 pitcher in the league. Anyone know the story on that?

Get your nunchucks and the keys to your dad's car. I know where we can get a gun
Wonder if tonight's game isn't Heisey's shot. A nice performance and I think we'd see him starting tommorrow.
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
All players need starts and this is a good spot for Cairo, given his history against Lee.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
For curiosity sake I'd like to see Stubbs against CL, but I can't knock a manager for DHing Cairo who's had sucess, albeit limited, against a top shelf pitcher.

There we go. I'll see if that's enough.
I should be able to do PBP again tonight.
I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou

The Brevard College women's basketball team seeks to extend its win streak to three games when it welcomes Lenoir-Rhyne for a South Atlantic Conference bout Wednesday evening in Boshamer Gymnasium at 6 p.m. in Brevard, N.C.
Schedule Notes: The Tornados (2-3, 1-2 SAC) earned consecutive victories for the first time since Nov. 16 and Nov. 26, 2011, when they defeated Pfeiffer in nonconference action, 79-69, Saturday afternoon. The BC offense exploded for 47 first-half points while shooting 60% from the floor while Shelby Wolfe returned with a bang with a 16-point first half effort. The Falcons would cut the deficit to seven with 1:15 remaining, but the freshman duo of Madison Lenox and Chelsea Turner clamped down to combine for five unanswered points while the Tornados collected their first home win of the season. After playing five of its first seven on the road, BC is playing its second of three consecutive home games before heading to Alaska before the Christmas break.
Trending Trio: Sophomore Katie Williams (12.2), freshman Lenox (10.8) and junior Taylor Hiatt (10.0) lead the squad in scoring while Hiatt currently sits atop the leaderboard in 3-point percentage in the SAC (50%). Williams is tied for first on the Tornado team with five steals while Hiatt leads the team in minutes per game (32.2).
It's Not Personal: The Tornados lead the conference by committing only 15 fouls per game. BC committed only 13 fouls against Pfeiffer while the Falcons accumulated 27. Third PU players fouled out of the contest. The Tornados have committed 13 fouls or less in their last three games.
Wolfe Bitten: After missing the Tusculum game with injury, Wolfe scorched Pfeiffer by dropping a season team-high 22 points while knocking down 7-of-11 from the field. The Pittsboro, N.C., native led both teams with 11 rebounds while dishing out four assists and collecting a blocked shot and a steal. She leads the team in rebounds (6.0) and is tied for second with six assists on the season.
Preseason Power: L-R (4-2, 1-2 SAC) was picked to finish second in the SAC in the Preseason Coaches' Poll, trailing Newberry by only two points (114-112). The Bears were ranked 23rd in the DII Bulletin Preseason poll after reaching an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament last season.
Dangerous Duo: The Bears junior duo of Jazmine Charles (19.3) and Jenni Gust (16.2) sit first and fifth, respectively, in points per game this season. Charles dominates the boards as well while sitting third in the SAC with 8.2 rebounds per contest. She has scored at least 20 points on four occasions in six games with a season-high 25 coming against Lees-McRae Nov. 10. Gust enjoyed a season-high 23 points against Barton Nov. 9 and has knocked down a three in all but one game this season.
2012-13 Recap: The Bears swept BC last season while the Tornados kept it interesting in the second meeting (58-53, Feb. 16). L-R cruised to a 77-49 victory Jan. 12. Wolfe led the Tornados with 13 points in the Feb. meeting.
Series History: L-R has won 11 consecutive games against BC since 2008.

INDIAN WELLS, California, March 12 (Reuters) - Sam Querrey was the last man to taste victory against Novak Djokovic but he may have to step outside his comfort zone to beat the world number one again when they meet in the BNP Paribas Open fourth round on Wednesday.
Querrey came from behind to beat the Serb 0-6 7-6 6-4 in the second round of the ATP Masters 1000 event in Paris last October. Since then, Djokovic has remained unbeaten for 20 matches, while starting this year with a perfect 15-0 record.
"That was five months ago," Querrey said of his only victory against the Serb, the top seed at Indian Wells.
"I'm just going to hopefully play well, hopefully be aggressive, hopefully on those break points, deuce points, have some balls go my way. I'm going to try and just enjoy it out there."
American Querrey had lost to Djokovic in their four previous encounters before Paris and at Indian Wells he will face a player who has triumphed in his first two events of the year, the Australian Open and Dubai Championships.
"He (Djokovic) does everything really well," the big-serving Querrey told reporters after scraping past Australian Marinko Matosevic 7-6 6-7 7-5 on Tuesday to reach the last 16 here for only the second time.
"He has an unbelievable forehand, an unbelievable backhand, moves around the court great, returns great. I might have to go outside of my comfort zone a little bit and do things I don't like to do, and hopefully it will pay off for me."
Djokovic, who believes he is very close to his dominant form of 2011 when he began the year with a 41-match winning streak before ending his campaign with a career-best 10 ATP titles, has also consigned that Paris encounter to the history books.
"It's been a long time," the six-times grand slam champion said after recovering from a rocky start to book his place in the fourth round with a 7-6 6-1 victory over Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov on Tuesday.
"It's been a few months and I've played a few tournaments since then. I won four times against him. Yes, he has won the last encounter indoors, but different circumstances and conditions so we'll see.
"We'll play in front of his crowd and he has a big serve and big game and he can come up with the goods when needed. He loves to play also on a big stage."
Djokovic's only slight concerns were his error-strewn start on Tuesday and the fact that on Wednesday he would be playing in the evening for the first time at this year's event.
"During the night it's a bit slower, so we'll see how that goes," said the Serb, who won the title here in 2008 and 2011 after losing to Spaniard Rafa Nadal in the 2007 final.
"And I will need to definitely start better than I have done today, and try to step into the court a little bit more. From my standard, I haven't brought my game to the level I wanted." (Reporting by Mark Lamport-Stokes; Editing by Peter Rutherford)

This is my idea:
Host OS -> VMware -> Backtrack BT5 32
Internet BT5 -> USB Wifi Adapter BT5 -> BT5 wifi Bridge with a VMware virtual adapter -> Host OS connected to internet from VMware virtual adaptor
So I can track all the communications IN OUT from the host OS
1) the performance of the USB wifi connected directly to the BT5 in VMware is pretty low, with a simple ping I am losing a lot of packages from 10% to 40%, this have some relation the IDLE status of the BT5 instance.
2) when I tried to create a bridge wlan0 fail, I don't now the reason (eth1 is ok)
root -> brctl addif vhub wlan0
root -> "can't add wlan0 to bridge vhub: Operation not supported"
3) after setup the bridge inside the VM BT5, how I can setup the VMware virtual adaptor to connect to internet using VM BT5 as a gateway or router
Probably it's very easy or very difficult what I am asking, I am not sure.
Do you know or have some ideas about?
I am using BT5 32 bit version more for compatibility with old processors

2014 Mazda6 Rated at up to 38 MPG Highway, Diesel Incoming

2014 Mazda6 pairs good looks with impressive fuel economy
Mazda may be known for "Zoom-Zoom", but the company's midsize sedan offering has never been a big sales success in the U.S. market. However, Mazda is looking to make its Mazda6 a credible player in a market dominated by the Camry/Accord/Altima/Fusion/Sonata.
The first key to catching the attention from buyers is with its more dramatic styling. While the midsize sedan category is known for its boring designs, entries like the
2011 Hyundai Sonata
2011 Kia Optima
showed that you don't have to be stuck driving a boring box. More recently, Ford wowed customers with its Aston Martin-esque
2013 Fusion
. The Mazda6 too brings its own design flair to the segment with eye-catching curves and creases. The huge grille may not be for everyone, but it seems to "work" on the Mazda6.
Mazda is also looking to attract buyers with its thrifty 2.5-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder engine. Rated at 184hp and 185 lb-ft of torque, the engine definitely won't make the Mazda6 a road rocket by any means, but it should have no trouble getting out of its own way. More importantly, however, the engine is rated a 25 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway (29 mpg combined) with a 6-speed manual transmission (yay for manuals). However, if you step up to the 6-speed automatic, the numbers jump to an even more impressive 26 mpg city and 38 mpg highway (30 mpg combined).
And Mazda will also
take a page from Volkswagen's playbook
during the second half of 2013: it will offer a diesel engine in the Mazda6. The 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D will find its way to the Mazda6, offering up an alternative to the hybrid powertrains that are typically made available in this vehicle class. There is no word yet on what the EPA numbers will be for the diesel, but rest assured that they will likely surpass the already impressive numbers available for the gasoline version of the Mazda6.

Culture Shock
Culture Shock: Culture shock is the cultural adjustment process students go through when arriving in a new country that is foreign to them. Some ways to minimize culture shock:
- Get involved with your studies
- Join student organizations
- Continue religious practices
- Make new friends Participate in PIC activities (Padnos International Center)
- Stay connected with family and friends through email, skype, facebook, etc.
- Live healthy (sleep, diet, exercise)
- Share your feelings with family and friends
- Share your feelings with counselors

Social Life Etiquette:
Hospitality While Americans are friendly, they keep a small circle of close friends. A difficulty for people from other countries is that even if Americans include them warmly in their personal everyday lives, they do not spend a great deal of time with them. In the United States, entertaining at home and at restaurants are both common, but it is often considered friendlier to invite a person to one's home.
Parties People usually introduce themselves at parties, so don't be shy in doing so. Although you will see people sitting at parties, the majority will look for an excuse to stand up and start moving around. When attending big parties, people are expected to move around the room, spending time with different groups.
Invitations You should answer any written invitation as soon as possible. Some will have R.S.V.P. written at the bottom. This is a French abbreviation that means please reply. Such invitations require a response, even if you are not planning to attend. It is not polite to accept an invitation unless you actually plan to attend.
When to arrive and leave :
For meals: You should arrive within five to fifteen minutes after the time indicated in the invitation. Do not arrive early, and if you are running late, make sure that you call your hosts and let them know.
For Cocktail Parties, Receptions, Teas: Invitation to formal events usually say from X hour to Y hour. This means that you can come at any time that suits you between those hours. It does not mean that you have to leave exactly at the time indicated, but you should leave within half an hour afterwards.
For a Dance: Most people arrive thirty minutes to an hour after a dance starts.
For Concerts and the Theater: Most people arrive at least ten minutes before the curtain time.
For Weddings, Funerals, Public Lectures, and Sport Events: Be there about ten minutes before the event.
For Business Appointments: Arrive exactly at the moment of the appointment or a few minutes earlier.
Reverse Culture Shock: Reverse culture shock is a repetition of the culture shock process that you initially experience during your arrival to the US. Feel free to explore this guide for coping with reverse culture shock.

I-Cubs' Rizzo double-dips yet again
Chicago's top prospect hits sixth, seventh homers of season
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | April 19, 2012 9:08 PM ET
MLB.com's No. 37 prospect continued his hot start to the new campaign, slugging a pair of longballs and plating three runs in Iowa's 4-3 loss to Albuquerque on Thursday.
"It was just one of those nights," Rizzo said. "I felt comfortable at the plate, but when the team doesn't get the win, nobody else is happy and jolly."
It was the ninth multi-homer game of Rizzo's career and his third in the first two weeks of the season. The last time he put up big numbers in the Pacific Coast League he finished the season on a Major League roster.
He hit a two-run homer to right-center field off John Ely in the first inning and he added a solo shot -- his league-best seventh homer of the year -- off the Isotopes right-hander to start the fourth.
"I got a first-pitch changeup and then a second-pitch fastball and I got it really well," Rizzo said of his first homer of the night.
"Then my approach was to be really aggressive, because last year I got caught being too passive after I had a couple hits. I wasn't trying to do too much, but I got a first-pitch cutter on the inner half of the plate. I'm always trying to hit fastballs. That's how you make all your money in this game."
The 21-year-old had two chances to hit his third roundtripper, but he walked in the sixth and grounded out in the eighth. Both times he represented the potential tying run.
"I was just trying to get on," he said. "We were down by a run, so you can't be thinking about a home run because you probably won't get it. They know what they're doing. If you change your approach, they'll get you out."
Acquired by the Chicago Cubs in a four-player deal with the San Diego Padres in January, Rizzo raised his average to .393 in the loss. He has hit safely in six of his last seven games. His 16 RBIs are tied for sixth in the Minors.
Last season, the former sixth-round Draft pick batted .331 with 26 homers and 101 RBIs for the Triple-A Tucson Padres before earning a callup to San Diego. Right now, his focus is entirely on succeeding in Iowa.
"This year is all about staying within myself and taking it one day at a time," he explained. "I can't control [a promotion] so I have to go inning by inning and at-bat by at-bat and see where that takes me."
In his six-year career, Rizzo has recorded a multi-homer game for three different organizations.
He smacked two homers for Iowa in a 10-6 win over the 'Topes on April 9 and he went yard twice against the Round Rock Express in a 6-5 triumph on April 13. Rizzo also victimized Albuquerque last spring with Tucson when he homered twice and plated five runs, and he accomplished the feat twice each with Salem and Portland -- affiliates of the Boston Red Sox -- in 2010. He also had a two-homer game with Greenville in '09.
On Thursday, Isotopes starter Ely (1-1) earned the win despite Rizzo's two homers. He gave up three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over seven innings.
Iowa's Travis Wood (1-1) picked up the loss after surrendering four runs on nine hits and a walk over 6 1/3 frames. He struck out five batters as the Cubs lost three straight games for the first time this season.

Im a newbie, so be patient
Im using the vmware version of backtrack. I start it without problems but i cannot connect to internet. Im using the l0 device. Its the default one, i think. With backtrack 3b i didn't have this problem.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
For that matter you may want to make sure you have settings. The standard commands still apply in a vm.
ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd eth0
the lo interface is the loopback interface, use the eth0 interface instead.
or ath0 if you have the Atheros wifi.
The command ifconfig -a will tell you all of your interface devices, even if they are powered down.

PcTrigger can be used when you want an entity to receive messages when some other entity enters or leaves a certain area of influence. Also the entity entering the trigger will receive a message on entering or leaving the area.
Currently it has support for different area types, including Sphere, Box, Beam and AboveMesh.
SetupTrigger<TriggerType> method is available as api function and action to setup the trigger either at runtime code or in map/quest xml.
Also further functionality is available from iPcTrigger api to set callbacks or some additional customization (check api docs).
The following messages are sent by this property class:
All messages receive an 'entity' parameter with the entity with the trigger (for
_leavetrigger and

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f/2.8, the first prime micro 4/3 lens for OlympusMonday February 27 2012
Continuing with our tests on micro 4/3 lenses, today we take another look at an older (2009) pancake lens, the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 17mm f/2.8. Very compact and light-weight, the 17mm f/2.8 was one of the very first lenses specifically designed for micro 4/3 cameras.
Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f/2.8 review
Further readings for the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f/2.8, the first prime micro 4/3 lens for Olympus
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Added by anentropic | March 01 , 2012
There is another choice?
On the front page for the review of this lens (http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Reviews/Micro-Four-Third-Lens-Reviews/Olympus-M.Zuiko-Digital-17mm-f-2.8) you say something that doesn't make sense.
In the opening paragraphs describing this lens it says "very compact and light-weight design - only 22mm long and weighing only 71g"
Later on you say "Unfortunately for those who would like to use an ultra-compact, light-weight pancake lens, there really aren't any other choices yet — even from Panasonic"
But on your page for the Panasonic 14mm it gives:
Length (mm) 20.5
Weight (gr) 55
...making that lens more-compact and lighter than the Olympus 17mm. Arguably better optically too, but we'll have to wait for your test of course :)

Icecaps' D gets an A-1 rating Posted by IceCaps on
As it has all season, St. John's will rely on a deep blueline corps for both defence and offence in series with Penguins
Published on May 1, 2012
Robin Short. The Telegram
The St. John's IceCaps were a team with a scoring-by-committee means all season long — the team's top scorer, Spencer Machacek, was 53rd overall in the American Hockey League — but the 2012 Calder Cup playoffs have provided a glimpse at a new-look IceCaps squad.
One in which the offence starts with the defence.
"This is," said Machacek yesterday, a day before the IceCaps open their second-round playoff series with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins 7:30 tonight at Mile One (930AM, Rogers TV), "by far the strongest corps of D I've seen in my four years of pro."
Coach Keith McCambridge trotted out a nice mix of skill, speed and grit against the Syracuse Crunch in Round 1 of the playoffs, led by Friday night's hero, Derek Meech, with his overtime goal to clinch the series.
Meech, who sat out most of the season with a pair of knee injuries, has 128 NHL games punched in, primarily with the Detroit Red Wings, and it shows in his game.
Paul Postma appears to be healthy, coming off a leg injury that caused him to miss 12 games at season's end. Postma was the IceCaps' MVP and top defenceman this season.
Jason DeSantis, though he had his moments against Syracuse, had a career season with the IceCaps, finishing third in team scoring during the regular season, just behind Postma and Machacek.
Arturs Kulda and Brett Festerling have quietly gone about their business in St. John's, logging quality minutes for McCambridge, while Travis Ramsey brings size to the team's blueline.
"I would say," said McCambridge, "this is definitely top two in terms of a defence that I've seen.
"It's been real consistent through the whole season, through callups (Festerling, Kulda and Postma) and injuries (Meech).
"(Zach) Redmond has had a chance to really blossom, and DeSantis evolved from a guy who was watching from the press box to taking heavy minutes.
"It's probably the best depth I've seen at the American league level where you have your No. 7 and 8 guys who are still very good defencemen who can play solid two-way games."
The key to success for the group, said McCambridge, is all are strong skaters — in the case of Postma and Meech, very, very good skaters — and all understand that while jumping up into the rush is nice, it doesn't come recklessly, at the expense of taking care of business in their own end first.
"It's definitely nice to have in today's game guys who add that second layer to the attack. Everybody skates back so hard these days, if you have that second wave coming, now it creates confusion.
"But with us, it's controlled. They realize where we are in the game, what the score is. Is it 3-1 for us in the game with 10 minutes to go? We're not joining the rush there. Are we down 3-1 with 10 minutes to go? We're going."
Having worked as an assistant coach for the Manitoba Moose last season, McCambridge had an inkling of what he was inheriting on the blueline this year, having seen Postma and Kulda in Chicago last year, Meech in Grand Rapids and Festerling splitting his time between Syracuse, Hamilton and Chicago.
DeSantis, who split his time in Wilkes-Barre and primarily the ECHL, and Redmond, a rookie, were the wild cards.
"(Assistant coach) Mark Morrison and I sat down over the summer and saw potentially what our ghost roster would be," McCambridge said. "'If we get player A and B, we have offensive-minded guys who can add to the rush, can all skate, can put pucks in the net.'
"You look at the some of the numbers those guys have had in their careers. We knew we couldn't overlook that. We had those horses so we had to make sure we implemented them into out offensive zone tactics.
"It's worked out nicely so far."

This painted relief sculpture was one of four highly-colored narrative segments designed for an altarpiece in the Church of Saint Michael in Lendersdorf, Germany. They flanked a similarly carved central panel depicting the church's patron, the Archangel Michael. Based on the Gospel of Luke, the Museum's Christ in the House of Simon shows Mary Magdalene washing and anointing the feet of Christ then drying them with her hair. Dreyer's realistic style presents an event both poignant and homely. Christ receives Mary Magdalene's reverence, while his well-dressed hosts preside over a dinner table. The Pharisee Simon cleans his teeth, his wife folds her hands in respect, and a bald man leans over to marvel at the Magdalene's humble gesture.

Cleveland • When C.J. Spiller got hurt, the Buffalo Bills lost the NFL's leading rusher, most of their momentum and another major offensive threat.
Ryan Fitzpatrick wouldn't let them lose the game.
Fitzpatrick threw three touchdown passes and the better-than-advertised Bills overcame the loss of Spiller to a shoulder injury and beat the Cleveland Browns 24-14 on Sunday to snap an eight-game road losing streak.
Fitzpatrick, doing just enough to keep Buffalo's offense moving, finished 22 of 35 for 208 yards as the Bills (2-1) turned to their passing game after Spiller, who has been filling in for Fred Jackson, went down in the first quarter with an injury that will likely sideline him a few weeks.
The Bills won outside Buffalo for the first time since the 2011 opener at Kansas City.
"We got the monkey off our back," Fitzpatrick said. "We always felt confident. This is a new year, a new team, but it was a good team win on the road. These are the most satisfying wins."
As the final seconds ticked off, some of Buffalo's players celebrated with hundreds of Bills fans who made the short drive over from Western New York.
Before he went out, Spiller, who came in leading the league with 292 yards rushing, scored on a 32-yard screen pass from Fitzpatrick, who also threw a 9-yard TD to T.J. Graham in the first quarter and hooked up with Stevie Johnson from 9 in the fourth to close the scoring.
Bills coach Chan Gailey does not expect Spiller to be back for next week's home game against New England and possibly longer.
"I don't believe it's long, long-term," Gailey said. "If he missed a week that's long for me. He's going to be out for sure this week and then we'll see."
Spiller will undergo further testing Monday. He was not available for interviews.
For the Browns (0-3), the losing continues.
Cleveland has lost nine straight dating to last season, and one of the league's youngest teams was not able to build off a solid performance last week in Cincinnati.
"We just didn't get it done," said coach Pat Shurmur, who dropped to 4-15 in two seasons. "There are no magical answers. We just didn't get it done."
When Spiller got hurt, the Bills appeared to be in trouble.
But Fitzpatrick made big throws when he needed to and third-string running back Tashard Choice gained 91 yards. Fitzpatrick has eight TD passes, and he has not thrown an interception since tossing three picks in the Bills' season-opening loss to the Jets.
Fitzpatrick got great protection from an offensive line that has only allowed one sack this season. He passed around some compliments afterward, crediting his teammates for stepping up without Spiller.
"We knew we had to put our foot on the gas again and when we did, the offensive line was revved up and ready to go," he said. "It was a heck of a job by Tashard. He got some really tough yards for us."
The Browns were again plagued by costly penalties, dropped passes and an inability to stop the run.
Rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden went 27 of 43 for 237 yards and a TD pass to fellow rookie Travis Benjamin. However, he was intercepted twice in the final 4:21 as he tried to rally the Browns.
Buffalo's defense limited Browns rookie running back Trent Richardson to just 27 yards on 12 carries. After rushing for 109 yards last week in Cincinnati, Richardson's longest gain was his 6-yard TD run in the second quarter.
"We wanted to stop Richardson," Gailey said. "We talked about it and made a big deal about it. We did not want to let him get out. We wanted them to throw the football. It worked kind of like we thought it would."
The Bills took a 10-point lead on Rian Lindell's 37-yard field goal before the Browns pulled within 17-14 on Weeden's TD pass to a wide-open Benjamin.
Fitzpatrick later led a 10-play, 68-ard drive, capping it by rifling his TD pass over the middle to Johnson, who got a step on cornerback Dimitri Patterson.
Spiller was injured in the first quarter when he was tackled after a long gain on a pass play.
He hit the ground with Browns safety Usama Young on his back, and Spiller was in obvious pain as Buffalo's training staff rushed onto the field to assist him. Spiller was helped to his feet and the third-year back gingerly supported his left arm as he was walked slowly to the sideline.
He was placed on a cart and driven to the locker room for further evaluation and treatment.
At that point, Buffalo's chances of ending its road slide seemed bleak.
But these Bills turned Cleveland's home-field advantage into their own.
"It was tough to lose him," said Johnson, who had seven catches for 61 yards. "We have guys who can fill the void."

Diddy lands atop 'Forbes Five' list of wealthiest hip-hop artists
Listen to Diddy on iHeartRadio
Whether he goes by Diddy or Puff Daddy, there's no doubt that Sean Combs is the "biggest homie" of the hip-hop world.
The hip-hop media mogul is topping the "Forbes Five" list of hip-hop's wealthiest artists with an estimated net worth of $700 million. With the launch of his television network, Revolt TV, Diddy managed to increase his fortune by $120 million in the past year.
The Bad Boy Records founder is well ahead of the list's runner-up, Dr. Dre, whose bank account swelled from $350 million in 2013 to $550 million this year. Much of that $200 million increase reportedly comes from his stake in his Beats By Dre headphone company.
Last year's runner-up, Jay Z, has fallen to third place even though he's managed to cross the half-billion-dollar mark. His fortune is currently at $520 million.
Rounding out the list is Cash Money Records co-founder Birdman who's said to be worth $300 million, followed by 50 Cent with $100 million.
