Australian teenager Minjee Lee and compatriot Katherine Kirk are two shots off the lead following the opening round of the US Open at Pinehurst in North Carolina.
LPGA No.1 Stacy Lewis leads the tournament at three-under-par with the American one shot clear of compatriot Michelle Wie, who is followed by 18-year-old amateur Lee, Kirk and Korean So Yeon Ryu on one-under.
Lee and Kirk's compatriot Karrie Webb, who won a US Open at nearby Pine Needles in 2001, had a 70 to be even-par going into the second round.
Play was suspended because of severe weather with 30 players on course and long after Lewis finished her round with only five players finishing the day under par.
The course is over 1000 yards (914 metres) shorter than it was when the men's US Open was held here last week.
Lewis, the defending Women's British Open champion, has already posted two wins this season at the North Texas LPGA Shootout and ShopRite Classic.
"Once you get one under your belt, it's contagious, you just want to win more and more," Lewis said about winning majors.
"I just have geared my game towards majors. I love it when it's hard. I love it when you have to grind. I love it when you have to make eight-and 10-footers for par. It suits me and my game."
Eleven-year-old Lucy Li, who is the youngest qualifier in Women's Open history, finished with a 78. The 1.57 metre (5-foot-2) dynamo finished her round with 10 pars, two birdies, three bogeys, two double bogeys and a triple bogey.
"Getting to play in the US Open was a lot of fun. I kind of struggled today, but it was great," said Li.
Lewis missed just one green and one fairway in her first round.
"I am very happy," she said. "It was such an easy day. I played really, really solid. I didn't put myself in too bad of spots and made a few birdies, which was nice."
Webb shares sixth place with Americans Paula Creamer and Mina Harigae, Taiwan's Candie Kung and England's Stephanie Meadow.
Kung has finished 17 holes, while Harigae and Meadow are both through 16 holes and will complete their rounds on Friday.
US Open champions Juli Inkster, Choi Na-Yeon and Ji Eun-Hee, and Lexi Thompson are among a group of 11 players tied for 11th place at one-over 71.
Defending champion Park In-Bee stumbled to a six-over 76 during her opening round and is tied for 77th place. Park's 76 tied her worst round of the season.
Two-time winner this year Jessica Korda shot a nine-over 79.

Ball has career day as Wisconsin beat Purdue 38-14
Montee Ball ran for a career-high 247 yards and scored three touchdowns to help Wisconsin beat Purdue 38-14 on Saturday afternoon.
James White added 124 yards rushing for the Badgers (5-2, 2-1 Big Ten), who outgained Purdue 645 yards to 252. The Badgers pounded out 467 yards rushing in the rain.
Ball moved past Texas Tech's Taurean Henderson and now is alone in third place in NCAA history with 72 total career touchdowns.
Akeem Hunt ran for 85 yards and a touchdown for Purdue. The Boilermakers (3-3, 0-2), who were coming off a 44-13 loss to Michigan, travel to Ohio State next week.
The win gives Wisconsin a favorable position in the Big Ten's Leaders Division, especially since Ohio State and Penn State cannot qualify for the conference title game because of NCAA rules violations.

The journey places Gabrielle in dangerous situations and the fact that she is a woman and a doctor only complicates things further.

The students are recipients of the Carolina Scholarship, the university's most valuable and prestigious scholarship for in-state students, and the McNair Scholarship, the most prestigious scholarship for our-of-state students.
"This is an outstanding group of young scholars," said Scott Verzyl, executive director of admissions USC. "The academic ability and personal character of these students is exemplary.

PLAYING THE FUR-COLOR CARD: We're all into black dogs now, and it's only going to get worse, so if you're not all into black dogs, take a couple of days off.
Just what, exactly, is your problem with black dogs? And don't say you don't have anything against black dogs, because if you didn't, there wouldn't be something called Black Dog Syndrome.
BDS refers to the fact that black dogs have a lower adoption rate than nonblack dogs, for a variety of reasons, chiefly that they're perceived as menacing and they're difficult to photograph for marketing purposes. So more of them are euthanized or left at shelters.
On Monday, we'll have a Q&A with a BDS specialist, but before that, you might want to swing by the Black & Tan (tan is another color largely eschewed by pet adopters) fundraiser from 1-5 p.m. Sunday at the Wine Crush, 3131 E. Broadway.
The event will raise awareness about BDS and under-adopted dogs and benefit West Coast Animal Rescue, the only all-breed rescue facility in Long Beach, and other animal-saving efforts.
The $40 buy-in gets you beer and wine tasting, hors d'oeuvres and dessert, plus giveaways, a silent auction and raffle prizes. For tickets and other info, go to www.westcoastanimalrescue.org.
HISTORIC SALE: How many chances do you get to go out and buy a bunch of stuff and make history doing it? We're going to say, unless you're going for the most- money-ever-spent-in-one-shopping-spree record, not very often.
Today, you can do your (we hate ourself for this) early holiday shopping or your usual dining on the cool corridor of Broadway between Junipero and Grand avenues, and 10 percent of the money you spend at participating businesses will help fund the LGBT History Project, a collaboration between the Historical Society of Long Beach and the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community in Long Beach to chronicle the LGBT community's history in town.
Participating businesses include Hot Java, Hot Stuff, JW Goodson's, Two Umbrellas Cafe, Olives on Broadway, Kier Jones State Farm and Off Broadway Hair Salon.
For more info on the project, check www.hslb.org.
THE EARLY BIRD: The Lakewood Knights of Columbus (they're like Catholic SEALs) is hosting its annual Thanksgiving dinner from 5-8p.m. Sunday in the St. Pancratius church hall.
It's a traditional-style buffet with turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, yams, cranberry sauce, vegetables and dessert. The only thing missing is politics-fueled fistfights among family members.
The cost is $10 for adults, $5 for kids and free for toddlers. You'll find the church at 3519 St. Pancratius Place in Lakewood.
NO CHANGE: Are you all out of the dimes and quarters you keep in your car's ashtray for paying parking meters? So what? On Sunday, Veterans Day, John Law in Belmont Shore is looking the other way and parking meters won't be enforced in the Shore on Second Street, its side streets and the city parking lots.
FRIDAY PLAYLIST: Anybody catch the election results on Tuesday? Today's political playlist is brought to you by What's Hot! Chief Washington Correspondent Thomas Wasper, with a couple of tweaks by us in the role of meddling anchorperson just to show who's still the boss around here. .
1. "We Take Care of Our Own," Bruce Springsteen
2. "Mutt Romney Blues," Ry Cooder
4. "I Am a Patriot," Little Steven
5. "It's a Beautiful Thing," Slaid Cleaves
7. "Dad's Gonna Kill Me," Richard Thompson

The Senate took a historic step Thursday with its passage of a landmark immigration bill that both steps up border security and provides a blueprint to citizenship for millions of immigrants who are in this country illegally.
We have pushed for smarter immigration reform for years. And we agree with the informal bipartisan committee of senators — four Democrats and four Republicans — who drafted the initial version of the bill that real reform needs to address both the flow of unauthorized immigrants into this country and the existing shadow population that is already here. The Senate measure, which passed 68-32, does both. Solid steps are being taken to prevent future illegal immigration, including more Border Patrol agents, border fencing and high-tech gadgetry — as well as a requirement that businesses check on the legal status of prospective employees. At the same time, the bill offers the country's estimated 11 million unauthorized immigrants a 13-year path to become citizens and calls for an expansion of the number of visas for certain classes of desired workers, such as those in the tech industry. There's also a guest worker program for low-skilled immigrants.
Granted, the bill isn't perfect — and its ultimate fate is uncertain, given widespread opposition in the House over border security and supposed "amnesty" provisions.
But reform is desperately needed, and we urge lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to be open to further compromise in the interests of a greater good.

Good luck,
I remember when installing lilo I had a few warnings such as
Warning: the boot sector and map files are on different disks
I also remember I got one that went something like
Warning: LBA32 location assumed
or something like that
any help?
also when it booted, it used to say L 99 99 99 99 99 and so on but now it's 07 07 07
I'm runnign the liveCD and tried to edit my lilo configuration, and after editing it and running lilo -v and everything, it still won't boot.
Any way to manually fix this before I go ahead and format and reinstall it? that's kind of a last resort (cause it takes time)
i went and checked and lilo.conf saved on my hard disk when I rewrote it to get vista running, too (read the thread on it)
maybe somethings wrong with the boot sector?
Good luck,
if you boot off a live cd or usb stick and reinstall the MBR with correct settings it should be fine. happened to me a couple times. your windows and bt3 instilations are still there and fine
I think my problem is I'm using a live cd, and not in any hard drive installed OS.
Also I booted into vista, and used vistas boot editing program, but it wouldn't let me change the file system from c to boot with linux (hard to explain but it was some stupid error the program had).
And I tried installing grub as a last resort and even that failed.
is there something i can do to easily write lilo to the mbr from the bt3 live cd? bt3 is installed on my hd but I can't load it until lilo is installed. When installing bt3 originally, it hung for like 30 minutes on 100% but it said it was still writing the mbr so I figured I could just install it myself from the live cd. i hope i wasn't wrong
nevermind i just reinstalled everything and it works fine now.
well, i guess first ting is to ask if youre trying to do a dual boot or not. if youre not, its pretty simple. when you run the installer on the live cd just check the checkbox that says replace existing MBR. if youre dualbooting let me know and ill type up how i did it.
ok, i booted up backtrack and this is what should be in your lilo.conf:
boot = /dev/sda
timeout = 60
#vga = 769,771/773/792
vga = 769
#Windows bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/sda1
label = Windows
table = /dev/sda
#Windows bootable partition confing ends
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = current
label = BackTrack
you might have to change the partitions around for your setup.

University research programs remain strong, competitive
University of South Carolina research awards totaled nearly $83 million for the first half of fiscal year 2009, an increase of almost 5 percent from the same time last year.
"Without a doubt, this is great news," said university president Harris Pastides. "The increase shows that our faculty are competitive for the nation's top grants and that faculty and staff are working tirelessly to keep the university moving forward even in this bleak economic time."
An increase of 10.2 percent in federal grants and a recent award of more than $2.2 million from the Duke Endowment may help position the university to surpass its record $206 million in grants last year, Pastides said.
"Our faculty are submitting more research proposals that ever before," he said. "Their productivity and commitment come at a critical time, and their success speaks volumes about the quality of work that they are doing. Research, particularly applied research that drives the development of new companies and products, is key to our future economy."
Research funding for the university's health sciences increased by nearly 15 percent overall and by more than 6 percent at the university's regional campuses.
The Duke Endowment is funding four projects, including colorectal-cancer awareness and screening, a community-focused public-health program, a rural health initiative and a program to support families and communities, said Dr. Rose Booze, the university's interim vice president of research.
"Even when state and local research awards have declined, our faculty have been able to secure significant awards through federal and private sources to support research that is relevant to the people of South Carolina and ultimately to our nation," she said.
The University of South Carolina has been designated by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a university of "very high research activity." Only 62 public and 32 private research institutions across the United States have this ranking.

It is very difficult to find a lovely all white shower curtain,that complitments the decor of the bathroom. Most shower curtains have flowers, stripes, etc. & doesn't always compliment the tile or wallpaper. The white shower curtain shows off the lovely tile work & wallpaper.
Great Quality, Looks Fantastic

PORTLAND, OR - Virginia and South Dakota recently became the 13th and 14th states in the United States to formally recognize the Green Building Initiative'sTM (GBI) Green GlobesTM environmental assessment and rating system in legislation.
In Virginia, to promote energy-efficient building practices, House Bill 239 and its companion Senate Bill 174 will create a separate class of real estate for tax purposes, beginning July 1, 2008, for buildings that meet one of the following criteria:
In South Dakota, Senate Bill 188 established high-performance building design and construction standards for newly constructed or renovated state-owned buildings by requiring the majority of state buildings to meet or exceed the following criteria:
"We applaud the states of Virginia and South Dakota for aggressively encouraging sustainable construction through these pieces of legislation," says Ward Hubbell, president of the GBI. "Decisions such as these, which give design and construction professionals multiple options for meeting the common goal of energy efficiency, will surely result in the increased adoption of sustainable construction practices."
Virginia and South Dakota join Arkansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Kentucky, Illinois, New Jersey, and Wisconsin as states that have formally recognized Green Globes in green building legislation or regulation.
For more information about the Green Globes environmental assessment and rating system, or the GBI, visit www.thegbi.org.

Keith Urban explains theme to 'We're All 4 The Hall'
Listen to Keith Urban on iHeartRadio
Keith Urban says he thinks the audience will be entertained at Tuesday's "We're All 4 The Hall" show. The theme of the night is "Songtellers," and will feature performers singing and sharing personal stories about either a country classic, a song they wrote, or one they chose to record.
Urban explains that some participants -- like Reba McEntire and Ronnie Milsap -- aren't known as songwriters, so the theme opens things up beyond a song's creation.
Vince Gill will once again join Urban in co-hosting "We're All 4 The Hall." The show's extensive lineup also features Carrie Underwood, Brantley Gilbert, Darius Rucker, and others.
The concert will take place at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. Money raised will go to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

Marni Spring 2014
If only designers could put themselves in the shoes of the women watching their shows a bit more. The spring collections in Milan have been played out in beautiful, balmy Italian September weather, during which it's become very clear that all we'd really like to wear is a longish, breezy dress and a lovely pair of flat sandals. Consuelo Castiglioni fulfilled half that craving with a pretty dress featuring a digital cherry-blossom print somewhere toward the end of her show, but she flunked on the flats. The shoes were built-up Japanese-cum-sport shoes, which she showed throughout.
The collections in Milan have broadly fallen into two categories: the ones that have gone hip-hop, and the ones that are looking East. Marni for spring was emphatically in the latter camp, in which the quotations from conceptualist Japanese design are surfacing as regular drill. If Castiglioni didn't fall in with the current mania for Issey Miyake's Pleats Please, she did pick cherry blossoms for prints, and meander into Comme des Garcons–like cutting for dense feathery, raw-edge chiffon ruffles running around the peplums of jackets, and gave an Asian accent to the colorful thong wedges she used throughout.
Despite those decorative themes, this collection deliberately veered away from Marni's familiar, eccentric fifties and sixties domestic fabric mixes, at least at the beginning. Castiglioni talked about "keeping restraint and austerity as a guiding principle." Maybe that will extend the appeal of her day-pieces (like a well-cut midi sarong and some regular belted jackets) to a wider public. But the new austerity didn't last long. When she allowed herself a romantic slip dress and camisole, and followed up with bustiers, bombers, and skirts smothered in 3-D flowers, the collection blossomed. Though none was as delightful as that simple full-skirted summer dress, which so many of the editors watching would have liked to whisk off and wear right now.

Colts running back Donald Brown was back at practice on Friday, one day after being a practice no-show. Brown missed that day's work not because of a setback with his balky knee; that's just how the Colts have been handling him for the past couple of weeks. In any case, he is listed as probable to play in Sunday's game against the Patriots and will split carries with Vick Ballard .
Fantasy Analysis:
This is for those out there who were depending on Brown and were suddenly alarmed when they read that he didn't practice Thursday. And if you're depending on Donald Brown ... why? My dislike for Brown and what he does on the field is no secret. Just listen to the Tuesday edition of this week's FFToolbox podcast. Me and Ben Standig got into a debate about Brown which basically ended with me saying it's OK to drop him if you need to in 12-team leagues while Ben took him as his sleeper of the week. If you are expecting more than seven fantasy points, I think you're dreaming.

The Black Keys will perform a benefit concert at Musica on Friday, November 27th.
The evening is called The Wild World of Alfred McMoore: a Multimedia Retrospective to Benefit Community Support Services.To read more or comment...
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced the unveiling of the new state-of-the-art Foster Theater and to celebrate the new addition they will be screening the film U2 3D from Tuesday, October 27 through Saturday, January 2, 2010.
As you can probably guess from the title, U2 3D is the venerated Rock Hall inducted band U2 in the first ever live-action 3-D Film. The concert was shot in South America during the final leg of the band's Vertigo tour and from most accounts I've heard and read, it is indeed quite an impressive experience. The band certainly was in fine from during their 2005 stop in Cleveland.
That's right all you Springsteen fans.
You thought you were just going to pay fealty to The Boss and listen to his new tunes but NO!
Start your salivating and hear palpitations now because Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band have joined the trend among veteran acts and will be performing his breakthrough 1975 album BORN TO RUN in its entirety.To read more or comment...

MIAMI - There is a first time for everything.
And for the Clippers on Thursday, that meant finally having their full roster available for a practice this year.
It took nearly half a season and it occurred 3,000 miles away from Los Angeles in Miami, but for the first time all year everyone on the team shared the same floor, the same drills and - in all but one case - the same full-court scrimmage.
"All the way in February. That's crazy," Clippers guard Chauncey Billups said. "But it felt good getting those fouls and getting those juices flowing. It was fun."
Blake Griffin agreed.
"It was kind of weird to have everyone out there," Griffin said. "But it's nice; it's nice to have a full team."
Billups has missed all but three games this year recovering from an Achilles tendon injury. Chris Paul has sat out the last eight with a bruised knee and Griffin the last two with a hamstring strain. And Jamal Crawford sat out Wednesday's game in Orlando with a shoulder injury.
And before them, Grant Hill was dealing with a knee injury.
Add it all together, it equals an injury-ravaged team that's never had its entire roster available at any one given time.
That figures to change soon with Billups looking pretty good for tonight's game against the Heat, Griffin feeling much better and considered a game-time decision, and Paul and Crawford's status being decided today as well.
The key is all four should be back sooner rather than later, and the Clippers are anxious to see what exactly they're all about with a full roster.
"I think we all kind of know how good we can be," Billups said.
Although Griffin practiced Thursday, he didn't participate in the full-court scrimmage session.
"But I did a lot of half-court stuff," he said.
And felt good doing so.
The key now is how he feels when he wakes up today.
"I just want to make sure it's not more sore than it is today," he said.
If not, he could return against the Heat.
"Yes, there is a chance I'll play."
Of all the players nearing a return, it was Billups who caught everyone's eye Thursday.
"He looked good, real good," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said.
And not just how he played personally, but how quickly he incorporated himself into the flow and how his presence affected the rest of the team.
"He takes a lot of pressure off everybody. He's just such a smart player," Del Negro said. "He just makes everybody better."
Billups was in surprisingly good condition despite missing so much time.
"I felt pretty good out there today. Obviously I'm not where I want to be, but I felt pretty good," he said.
And hopeful he'll suit up against the Heat.
"The plan right now is to get through this, see how it feels tomorrow," Billups said. "Hopefully tomorrow, I'll wake up tomorrow and feel good."

Kimi Raikkonen is showing his season-opening victory in Australia is no fluke after posting the fastest time in the second practice at the Malaysian Grand Prix on Friday.
The Finn was the surprise winner of the Australian GP last weekend and has won two of the last three races dating to last year. His Lotus was expected to be competitive with the better-funded Red Bulls and Ferraris but not outpace them as he has done so far.
"The weekend will tell us (more) but it's been a good day so far," Lotus technical director James Allison said. "The car seems quite happy here."
The unflappable Raikkonen edged world champion Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull by 0.019 seconds. He also has been helped by the team's admission that it is favouring the Finn over his slower teammate Romain Grosjean, who was sixth on Friday.
"We only have one set of kit and we've chosen to run that with Kimi, and Romain is disadvantaged for that," Allison said. "It's a feature of not having in-season testing that you try to upgrade the cars as fast as you can and generally speaking, that means that you're always going to have one set of kit ahead of the second set, and that almost inevitably means that one driver gets to try it before there is a second one available."
Ferrari's Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso were third and fourth followed by Vettel's teammate, Mark Webber, who was fastest in the first practice session.
It was another disappointing day for McLaren, which has struggled since revamping its race car in the offseason. Sergio Perez, who joined McLaren from Sauber, was 11th followed by 2009 champ Jenson Button in 12th.
"On a dry track it feels better than it did in Melbourne, but even then its pace still isn't there compared with that of the front-running cars," Button said. "We've identified some further improvements that we can make before tomorrow, though, which is encouraging, and it's been a good day in terms of learning."
Button was ninth in Australia, and McLaren sporting director Sam Michael dismissed speculation the team would revert to last year's car.
"It's very hard to make predictions when you are trying to unlock two or three areas in the car," he said. "The past history of McLaren as a group to recover from situations like this is extremely strong and consistent. They have done it before and I don't see any reason why the engineers won't do it again this time."
Lewis Hamilton, who appeared to justify his offseason switch from McLaren to Mercedes with a fifth in Australia, has not shown the same pace in Malaysia, running ninth fastest in both sessions.
The second session took place in overcast conditions, and steady rain briefly hit the Sepang circuit with about 30 minutes remaining. The weather is expected to be a factor in Sunday's race. Sepang, more than any other circuit, has a history of being hit by afternoon showers that are common at this time of year.
Alonso won last year's race only after Sergio Perez ran off the track just as he was attempting to pass the Spaniard in wet conditions after a 51-minute delay for rain.
Alonso finished second in Australia and has expressed confidence that his car will be able to keep pace this weekend with Raikkonen. He seemed happy with his performance on Friday, despite clocking fourth behind his teammate Massa.
"The car worked well in all conditions, and that is very good news for us," Alonso said. "It could rain at any moment, and on a track where tyre degradation is much higher than in Melbourne."
Red Bull, in contrast, has shown little of the confidence that would be expected from a team that has won the last three constructors' championships.
Much of its concerns revolve around the new Pirelli tyres which are degrading quicker than last season. The problem has plagued Red Bull more than other teams, and it blamed the tyres for Vettel's third in Australia.
It had hoped the warmer conditions would help solve the problem but tyres shredded quicker than expected during practice. As a result, Red Bull would likely have to fall back on a three or even four-stop strategy while other teams like Lotus may be able to get by with two stops as they did in Australia.
"We're trying to understand what is going on and what is the sweet spot for these tyres," team principal Christian Horner said.
"I don't think anybody up and down this pit lane fully understands these tyres to be honest. There are so many anomalies that a key aspect to this season will be getting on top of those tyre issues and understanding them."
Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery acknowledged teams saw "high wear rate" on Friday due in part to the high temperatures and abrasive track.
"Nonetheless, degradation stayed within our anticipated parameters," he said. "We have also seen differences in the way that individual teams use the compounds, with the hard compound lasting 15 laps for some teams and 21 laps or more for others. We'll be looking at all the data tonight to establish a more precise picture for qualifying and the race."

Visitors to "Mummies of the World: The Exhibition at The Leonardo" will see absolutely fascinating artifacts preserved humans and animals that range from 300 to 6,500 years.
What visitors won't see is how they got to Salt Lake City, a parallel story that's almost as intriguing as the exhibits themselves.
You can't just put a mummy in a cardboard box, dump in Styrofoam peanuts, tape it up and send it off. The mummies and the accompanying artifacts arrived in specially built crates that were designed to minimize damage along the way.
Each of the 29 custom-built crates is outfitted with its own sensor to detect variations in temperature and humidity. The mummies are wrapped in special materials, placed in custom-fit foam and situated so they don't shift can't shift during transport. "They are, frankly, works of art," said Heather Gill-Frerking, director of science and education for the exhibition. "It's just genius."
The human mummies each get their own crates, but the animal mummies have to share.
"It's really critical that we take into account each individual mummy's needs," Gill-Frerking said. "So if a mummy has an arch to its back or its neck, we have to make sure to pad underneath so they're sitting perfectly solid and aren't going to shift at all."
After all, just because something has been mummified for a couple of thousand years doesn't mean it will stay that way. "The minute you take it out of whatever conditions led it to be preserved, you're doomed," she said. "You're introducing oxygen, perhaps. You're introducing moisture. And you have to have oxygen and moisture for decomposition. So they are at very great risk of deterioration."
It's not just the mummies that get tender, loving care. That attention is also extended to the 150 or so artifacts that travel with them.
"The Egyptian that's got the sarcophagus with it, that is a bit of a monster to travel with," said Gill-Frerking, no pun intended. "The mummy and the sarcophagus have different needs, so you have to pack those pieces very carefully."
The mummies arrived in town on Feb. 4, and workers have been on a tight schedule to prepare for the Saturday opening. It takes about 14 days or about a dozen workers about 1,800 hours to retrofit a museum space with display cases, multimedia exhibits and lighting for the exhibition, said Marc Corwin, president of American Exhibitions. It takes another 900 hours to dismantle the exhibit.
"The behind-the-scenes stuff is pretty cool," Gill-Frerking said. "And the care that we take with them is really important. I mean, these are people. And we have to treat them appropriately."
After all, this isn't your father's mummy exhibit. Yes, there are mummies from Egypt, but "Mummies of the World" also includes mummies and artifacts from South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Some of the bodies were mummified intentionally; other were mummified accidentally. And while some of the exhibits are thousands of years old, some are just a few hundred years old including an 18th-century Hungarian family accidentally mummified when they (along with hundreds of others) were buried beneath the floor of a church and forgotten for centuries. There's also a 17th-century German baron recovered from the crypt at his castle.
"I'm hoping that by the time visitors leave, they'll be able to say, 'Wow, mummies come from more than just Egypt,' " Gill-Frerking said.
The "Mummies of the World" exhibition began in 1994 when 20 mummies thought lost during World War II were discovered in the basement of a museum in Mannheim, Germany. That led to the German Mummy Project an effort to investigate and preserve the mummies which led to museums in across Europe loaning items to the three-year U.S. tour, which is making its seventh and final stop in Salt Lake City.
"It's very unusual to get 21 loaning institutions from seven European countries to loan their object for a limited, three-year U.S. tour," Corwin said.
There are so many things to see from so many eras that Gill-Frerking adds: "Everybody will find something in here that they love, whether it's the baron and his leather boots or the bog dog or the crocodile or whatever it is."
Yes, a fluffy dog. Gill-Frerking insists she doesn't have favorites, but she is partial to the bog dog the mummy of a small dog discovered in a German peat bog.
"It's a 500-year-old fluffy dog from a peat bog, and I just have a thing about peat bog mummies anyway," she said. "But it's fluffy!"

Online Mayhem I: Metallica Versus Napster
"Metallica Brings Lawsuit"; "Metallica Alleges Theft"; "Metallica Demands Napster Site Shutdown". What is Metallica's problem? As you probably know, Metallica is a rock band and they are upset at a Web site by the name of Napster. What is it exactly, that Napster does? Well, if you have downloaded any music from the Internet lately, you utilized a musical file format called MP3. Napster acts as a "digital matchmaker" between people who trade MP3 songs. If you wanted a Metallica song, all you need is a computer, the MP3 program, and Internet access. You log on to the Napster site, download Napster's file sharing software, and in a few minutes, you will have an MP3 version of the Metallica song.
Again, you might ask yourself why Metallica is so fired up about MP3 file sharing. Let's think for a moment about what it is that Metallica does as a band. First, they write music, second they perform music, and third, they record music. As a band, Metallica makes a living writing, performing, and recording music. People purchase tickets to attend Metallica concerts and they purchase CD's and cassette of Metallica recordings. Did you know that Metallica receives a portion of the purchase price of each tape and CD sold? That portion that the members of the band receive is called a royalty payment. Metallica earns a living from the royalty their receive from the sale of each and every CD and cassette.
Activity 1
So why is Metallica so fired up about the Napster Web site? Check out the official Metallica website and read what the band members have to say about Napster. Once in the Metallica Forum, locate the Headlines frame, scroll down, and click on "A note form the band".www.metallica.com/index.asp?item=514
- According to Metallica, what is Napster doing or offering that is wrong and illegal?
- What is the legal term for the act that Metallica objects to at the Napster Web site?
- How does Metallica feel about the MP3 format?
- How many music formats does Metallica list? What are they?
- What examples are given of other businesses that do not offer their services free of charge?
- What is Metallica's point?
You have heard what Metallica has to say on the subject of online music. Now let's check out what other musicians are saying about Napster. Follow the link and read what Courtney Love, Chuck D, Madonna, and Colin Greenwood of Radiohead, are saying.www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4182/is_20000612/ai_n10136611
- Do the artists quoted support or oppose the use of the Napster file sharing system?
- In general, what reasons do the artists give for supporting Napster?
Activity 2
There is an extremely important principal underlying the battle between Metallica and Napster, that principal is private property. Just think about your own private property - the stuff that belongs to you. The question is - what kind of control do you have over your own stuff, your property? Most people would agree that property, the stuff that belongs to you, gives you the owner specific rights. We can categorize your rights into four requirements, the right to 1) possess, 2) control, 3) exchange, and 4) protect your property.
Property that meets these four requirements is said to be "well defined". You might be thinking that these characteristics sound obvious. You might even be thinking that these characteristics apply to everything and everyone. The truth of the matter is that not all stuff qualifies as private property. For example, who owns the air you breathe or the road that runs in front of your house or apartment; what about the clothes on your back or the CD player in your pocket? In order for you to have full right to your property it must have the four requirements we discussed above. Private property that is "well defined" is really "well protected", giving you the right to possess, control, exchange, and protect your stuff as you see fit. Test your understanding of property rights by completing the chart below. You will compare the property rights of two items, a car and air and then decide if the property right, for each item is well defined or not.
|Items to be compared
|Make a comparison
Record yes, no, or sometimes
|How are they similar?
How are they different?
|1) Is possession of the item possible and legal?(can you possess the item?)
|2) Is control of the item exclusive to the owner? (can someone else claim ownership without your say so?)
|3) Can you exchange the property right for this item? (can you sell it or give it away?)
|4) Are the rights to this item protected from illegal use or theft? (is there a law and is it enforced?)
What did you determine? Is the property right to a car the same as the property right to air?
So, what does this discussion of well-defined property rights have to do with the battle between Metallica and Napster? The battle is really over the property rights of music. Who owns the right to Metallica's music? Did you know that it is illegal to copy and distribute someone else's work in a way that does not pay them for their work? Did you also know that it is okay for you to purchase a CD or tape and they convert it to a digital format? So, it is legal to make a copy for yourself but not for your friends. Read the article to find out more about the Metallica lawsuit
www.forbes.com/2000/04/14/mu4.html The chart below asks you to compare the traditional musical formats of CDs and tapes with the new digital MP3 format. Complete the chart below and answer the questions that follow.
|Metallica Music Format
|Make a comparison
Record yes or no
|Traditional (CD, Tapes)
|Digital (MP3 files)
|1. Can Metallica own its own music? (is it possible and legal for Metallica to create and own their own music?)
|2. Does Metallica have exclusive control of their music? (can someone else claim ownership without Metallica's say so?)
|3. Can Metallica exchange the property right for their music? (can they sell it or give it away?)
|4. Are Metallica's rights to this item protected from illegal use or theft? (is there a law and is it enforced?)
Online Mayhem I - Metallica VS Napster is designed as a way for you to explore the controversy of online music distribution. Technology and innovation often challenge the rules of property rights and the opening of the Napster Web site is no exception. So, how much did you learn as a result of this experience? Take the following quiz to test your knowledge.
- What is an MP3?
- How do people exchange MP3 files?
- What service does Napster offer?
- Why is Metallica suing Napster?
- What rights do you have when you own property?
Stay tuned to EconEdLink for Online Mayhem II - Revenge of the Napster.

Over the last 2 years, Harry Darby, a film-maker who works for Neal's Yard Dairy in Great Britain, has been making a film which looks at what goes into the dairy and cheese making process. Neal's Yard buys cheese from about seventy cheesemakers on farms around Britain and Ireland, ages it, and sells it to shops and restaurants all over the world.
This film is shot on 16mm film and focuses on 3 of the cheesemakers they work with: Martin Gott in Cumbria and Jamie Montgomery and Mary Holbrook in Somerset. It is a beautiful film, and we sat around in a staff meeting last month and watched it in silence, dazed by the tranquility of the farm-scapes, and how disciplined the milking goats are! Taking a few minutes to watch this film will really make you appreciate the artisinal cheese you put in your mouth!
Here's their film:

Questions & Answers

Google is the king of online search. It runs 70 percent of the country's queries and brings in 75 percent of the related advertising revenue. With such dominance inevitably comes the envy of rivals and charges of illegal, anti-competitive behavior.
But last week the Federal Trade Commission voted unanimously to close its antitrust investigation of Google without seeking penalties against the company, and rightly so.
More than a search engine, Google provides tools for activities such as online shopping and travel booking and builds those tools into its search results.
Google "Washington to Los Angeles ticket," for example, and Google will show you a box with flight itineraries and links to its own online travel booking service, followed by the familiar "blue-link" search results to competing online travel services such as Expedia and KAYAK. Similarly, Google a street address, and the first item that comes up is a Google Map.
Consumers lose, Google's opponents argue, when they come to the entrenched leader in online search and get results that don't point to what ought to be the most popular services first instead prioritizing those associated with Google.
The company, they say, has less of an incentive to improve its services since it can give them prominent space on its dominant search engine, driving traffic their way. Competitors are discouraged because they will never get that sort of play.
But the FTC found that "the totality of the evidence" indicates Google arranged its search results to make them more useful, not to quash competitors. "Reasonable minds may differ," the commissioners wrote, "as to the best way to design a search results page and the best way to allocate space among organic links, paid advertisements and other features."
Google's mission is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful," which does not always mean directing users to other websites. Users looking for answers say, the price of a plane ticket may well prefer a Google-generated list at the top of their search pages, instead of clicking around to other sites.
And if they don't, they have other viable options, both in general search engines such as Bing and Yahoo and in other specialized online services. More Americans began product searches at Amazon.com in 2011, for example, than at Google.
Microsoft recently debuted a campaign to discredit Google's shopping feature, warning Americans not to get "scroogled" and instead to try Bing. If Americans do, indeed, feel scroogled one way or another, all they need do is click to another website.

Brendle drops 18 in 78-49 rout of KnightsNovember 20, 2010
Lindsay Brendle scored 18 points in a 29 point win over St. Andrews
Laurinburg, N.C. - The Brevard College women's basketball team was able to pick up their first win of the season on Saturday when they traveled to Laurinburg, N.C. to take on the Knights of St. Andrews Presbyterian College. Lindsay Brendle (High Point, N.C.) was able to lead the Tornados with 18 points in their 29-point rout of the Knights. Brevard toppled St. Andrews 78-49, moving them to 1-3 on the season.
The Tornados and Knights traded baskets up and down the floor to start off the game at Harris Court, but it was the Tornados that were able to jump out on top after 10 minutes of play when they went on a 15-2 run and took a 12 point lead with 8:15 remaining in the first half. After allowing a few baskets the Tornados were able to retake the momentum and headed into half-time with a 40-27 lead.
After the half, Brevard was able to keep up the intensity in the second-half and continued to build on their 13-point lead by going on a 10-0 run sparked by Brendle, who scored the first four points of the half. It was all Tornados as they continued to build on their lead throughout the half and outscored the Knights 38-22 in the second half, leading to the 78-49 final.
Lindsay Brendle led all-scorers in the game by dropping 18 with Anna Schlobohm (Greensboro, N.C.) putting up 14 points of her own. Brendle is now leading the Tornados in scoring as she averages 13 points per game on the season. Micheala Watkins (Forest City, N.C.) set a new Brevard College women's basketball record by coming up with 10 steals in the Tornados win. Freshman, Jennifer Martin (Asheboro, N.C.) was able to score her first collegiate points when she hit a layup with 3:24 remaining in the game.
The Tornados continue their non-conference road schedule on Tuesday when they travel to Young Harris, Georgia to take on the Young Harris Mountain Lions. Game time is set for 5 p.m. and Dwayne Summers and Seth Montgomery will call the action on 1240-AM WSQL or www.WSQLRadio.com, starting at 4:30 p.m.

"Populism" can refer to politics associated with identifying the less well off and uncorrupted masses as a group distinct from the wealthy elite, and policy designed to be "popul-ar" with this larger part of the "popul-ation".
It can also refer more broadly to politics that identifies as desirable any sub-group amongst a population and pits them as the enemy of some undesirable "other", promoting division in a community for political gain.
Does the word have a long history ? In what sense was it first used ? Is one of these meanings more correct than the other ?

Welcome to the Agora. I think I may have posted something similar elsewhere in these pages. I had firmly fixed in my mind that populism referred to a type of liberalism that appealed to the lower classes by handouts. Then last year I heard a couple of the Tea Party Republican candidates also referred to as populists. What gives here? Apparently they were thinking of grass roots as opposed to the establishment. How have the rest of you used this or heard it used?

William Jennings Bryan was the great populist. The trust-buster, Teddy Roosevelt was a populist. The present Tea Party is definitely not populist. The Grangers of the latter part of the 19th century seem to have been populists. It was big railroads versus small farmers back then. The prime requirement for being a populist is that one believes all big organizations are to be mistrusted, and that there should be checks and balances to keep big organizations from skewing, and screwing, society. In that sense, the US constitution, in dividing powers between legislative, executive and judicial is populist. My family has been populist in the traditional sense for at least four generations (from before the Civil War), although some have lately strayed. I am a populist.
It is dark at night, but the Sun will come up and then we can see.

hi guys,
what is the best way to hack a windows server?
its on my network i can also remote desktop to it but cant login as do not know the password
how can i gain access to this server?
is there someway to get the password to login through remote desktop
i am using backtrack bt4 beta
hope you can help
no it is in a lab enviroment and has been set as a challenge
but i have no idea where to start
Can you elaborate a little more?
What is the challenge? Where did you get it from? Who gave it to you? What are the instructions/rules/requirements?
Everyone is going to be skeptical when a question like this is asked, as usually these type of questions have some illegal or malicious purpose. You mention that this is in a virtual lab on your network, so you ought to be able to give me a little more info.
i work in a computer shop repairing computers, i have recently been getting interested in backtrack
so in work we have set up 3 pcs 2 running xp pro and 1 running windows server 2000 so we can pratice and i wouldn't matter if we messed the machine up
so as a challenge my boss said to me and my co worker the first one to gain access to the server will get a bounus at the end of the month
You could start off with some enumeration. Use programs like nmap to find out what available ports are open. You can use netcat to banner grab information from specific ports as well. Match the programs you enumerate to exploits in metasploit as well as milw0rm. A neat feature with metasploit is the meterpreter shell which will allow you to hash dump the passwords (this is just one of many ways).
That should give you some ideas to start off. There are tons and tons of other ways to do this, some more efficient. Rather give you some ideas than spoil it for you.
edit: If there aren't available applications to exploit on the server, look into exploiting the operating system... Check Google.
hi thanks for the advice,
i did try and do the vnc with metasploit but all i got was..
complete but no session was created. so dont know why
i will do some reseach and try what you said thanks again
Well it is not all about just using metasploit.
There is way more to pentesting besides just using metasploit to pop some boxes. If you don't know what to do, we can't just give you an easy answer as in a walkthrough.
Best bet for you might be either social engineering your boss or a password profiling attack.
You might want to ask him to sponsor you the PWB course from Offsec.
Tiocfaidh ár lá
Use Core Impact to pop the boxes And get your bonus.
Oh wait... it costs 20K for a year... then use fast-track.py - as it's just a question who does it first, shouldn't be that hard to pop with fast track.
If you have physical access you can set the administrator password.its on my network i can also remote desktop to it but cant login as do not know the password
It's on your network, there are multiple means by which you could access it. Not the least of which is to walk over and login like a normal user.how can i gain access to this server?
You could likely bruteforce it, though being able to do so would point to an obvious flaw in your password policy. Again you have physical access so why bother with remote desktop?is there someway to get the password to login through remote desktop
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.

Brevard, N.C. - Another Tornado athlete is headed overseas this summer as BC volleyball standout Brooke Seaman will be heading to Buenos Aires, Argentina from June 16-25 as she joins nine other collegiate players from across the nation on a USA Athletes International (USAAI) Friendship Tour. Seaman is the third Tornado athlete to go overseas, joining cyclists Tristan Cowie (Germany) and Marshal Hartley (Spain).
Seaman was originally scheduled to go to Holland, but due to complications that arose, the trip was cancelled and she was placed on the trip going to South America. Throughout her time in Argentina, Seaman will be playing in a series of games against local competitive club teams, while getting to experience and learn about the country. She will also be participating on various tours and other activities and will work in volleyball clinics where her group will help teach younger aspiring players in developing areas. Seaman will be providing a daily blog on the BCTornados website during her time in Argentina so friends, family and the BC community can follow her journey.
A 2008 2nd Team All-SAC member, the rising senior led the South Atlantic Conference in both hitting percentage (34%) and blocks per game (0.96) and was ranked in the top 40 among Division II volleyball players in hitting percentage (31st) and kills per set (3.65, 36th)
Brevard head volleyball coach, Brenda Skeffington looks forward to next season with Seaman as she said, "Brooke Seaman is the hardest working athletes that I have coached in 25 years. She has improved her personal game more than any other player that I have coached at Brevard and I look forward to seeing her senior year, after an opportunity to play in Argentina."
Seaman credits Coach Skeffington on informing her of this opportunity and the benefits of partaking in this experience and wants to thank Compliance Director Ginny Alexander for helping her along the way, as well as the numerous students, faculty and staff members who helped her as she raised funds for the trip.
On a personal note, Seaman had the following to say about her opportunity, "I am extremely excited to take part in this adventure. It has been a dream of mine since I was a kid to wear the letters USA across my chest. I played many sports when I was young, and I didn't know which one was going to lead me to this point, but when I started playing volleyball again in 11th grade, I knew it was going to be the sport to lead me to my dream. This is just another huge step toward bigger goals of mine, and I get more and more excited about the future with every breath I take!"
USA Athletes International, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to giving amateur athletes and coaches the opportunity to participate in international Olympic-style sporting events throughout the world, while also allowing them to broaden their educational and cultural knowledge of the world through experience.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

The "Family Crucible" as coined by the late Carl Whitaker, can be the greatest source of strength in our lives or it can be a source of pain. Our families of origin are always part of us for the rest of our lives. Family therapy helps us to discover who we are and who we want to become as a differentiated person apart from my family. It helps us to grow up and take responsibility for our own lives apart from family influence allowing us to make decisions about our lives, our relationships, and our decisions in general. As a Family Therapist I help people distinguish between healthy and unhealthy families and guide them in their quest for the healthy family they so desire.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
It sounds a bit oxymoronic, but there really is such a thing as a competent bureaucrat, and he comes in the form of Stan Tungate, who supervises the public access area to the civil and family court records of the district clerk's office. Tungate is not only extremely knowledgeable but remarkably affable--a rare quality in civil servants these days. If a court file or record exists--some go back to 1939--he will find it for you, approaching the task with the determination of a private sleuth. Certainly it's not easy dealing with people who have a limited understanding of what they want (those are just the lawyers), but Tungate handles himself admirably in all situations. Although he dabbled in politics, running unsuccessfully for district clerk a few election cycles ago, his presence as a line supervisor would have been sorely missed.
It's no secret why KERA called Punch Drunk Comedy one of Dallas' best-kept secrets. The quartet of comedians serves up funny and unpredictable shows every Thursday for four to six weeks at the Home Bar off of Greenville Avenue. It also takes the revues--often centering around a theme and involving costumes, music and more--one step beyond during the final week of the show, when the members try to sabotage one another by improvising and changing their lines during "The Stunt Show." But even during a normal--we use the term loosely--show when they're relying on scripts, the audience never knows what will happen next.
You're taking your early-morning jog with your pet dog Old Blue and desperately searching your headset for some music to run by. Frustrated, you are willing to settle for anything other than the mindless prattle of two self-absorbed DJs who laugh at their own canned jokes as if they were entertaining someone other than themselves. You stumble onto WRR, the sole classical music station in town, and listen to Road Rage Remedy or the March of the Day and suddenly believe there is a God. Even the news becomes more tolerable, particularly as the cool, smooth voice of Valerie Moore hits the airwaves, her news stylings taking on a peculiarly sexy quality. It's just the news, you remind yourself, but with Valerie it's so much more. She knows just when to pause before she anoints the last word of a sentence, when to drop her voice an octave for just the right amount of primal ooziness before going to a commercial break. She seduces you to keep listening, just so you can hear her deliver the weather and traffic..."next."
OK, we've got bronzed cattle-drive re-creations, statues of hard-throwing Nolan Ryan, Texas Rangers, mustangs, et al. around town, but if it's real art by master craftsmen you want to see, the Oakland Cemetery, established in 1891, will blow you away. Elaborate memorial sculptures in granite and marble, some done as far away as Florence, Italy, are shipped here to stand guard over Dallas' Who's Who of yesteryear. The cemetery is open until sundown daily and offers not only a magnificent art exhibit but a fascinating visit to the city's history. Don't forget to take a camera.
With Dallas being home to more than 200 ethnic communities, Dallas International sees its mission as attempting to harness their cultural diversity by providing a forum to express the richness of their heritage and thereby create a better understanding of each group to the rest of the city. We think. Each year (generally in June) the organization produces the Dallas International Festival, spearheaded by Anne Marie Weiss-Armush. Regrettably, the festival had to make do this year as funding cuts forced it out of its digs at Fair Park and cramped it into the Majestic Theatre, where Dallas' finest global arts groups performed. The festival's International Bazaar has been rescheduled for November and relocated to the St. Mark's School of Texas at 10600 Preston Road. The food court alone will be worth the price of admission, which is free. Honorable mention: the martinis at Terilli's. Drink three of these and everyone will be your friend.
Too bad we don't have a category for Best-looking City Council Member so she could win twice. Dr. Elba, a dentist, wins this one because we have a very simple criterion: Does the council member do more or less what her constituents want? Garcia attacks her job obsessively as if every single constituent complaint were a dental cavity. She parked on the desk of the director of animal control until he agreed to go catch more dogs. Then she rode in the vans with the dog catchers to make sure they got it done. The Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce loves her because she fixed the huge mess with the Texas Theatre restoration. She got all the city's myriad Cinco de Mayo and Diez y Seis parades combined into one. And when the council shot down her idea of having the new Latino Cultural Center named for a brand of tequila (bad idea), she got funding instead from a dairy (good idea). So if she's so smart, what's she doing on the city council? District 1 just lucked out, we guess.

CINCINNATI, OH -- New from AdvancePierre Foods are Fast Choice sandwiches in hand-wrapped paper packaging.
Wrapped in white paper are a bacon cheeseburger, BBQ chicken and pork sandwiches, and a crispy chicken sandwich. They can vend in refrigerated machines for consumers to microwave onsite, or merchandised hot in a sandwich warmer in foodservice environments and c-stores.
The sandwiches have a 14-day refrigerated shelf life and up to a four-hour hot hold time. The suggested value price is a value-meal deal of two sandwiches for $3, or $1.79 to $1.99 each.
"AdvancePierre is providing hot, fresh sandwich options that retailers can sell with a great margin and still compete with the QSR's value menu," said Tony Schroder, president of convenience channels at AdvancePierre Foods.

Kudos & Kindness: We enjoyed the fire truck entourage
November 27, 2012
We, a few longtime families here in South Lake Tahoe, would like to send a kudos to all the people who were involved in the Christmas Lights Fire Truck Entourage this past Saturday evening. Our children were so excited to see the lighted fire truck go by, and then even more surprised to see other lighted vehicles following the truck (our children loved the lighted snow plow). We just wanted all the folks involved in this event to know that we sincerely appreciate the effort and we hope this becomes an annual event! Thanks to all of you who took time out of your busy schedule to make South Lake Tahoe a better place. Happy holidays and hope we see you again next year!Kathy HavenSouth Lake Tahoe

Five Finger death punch release new single with Rob Halford
Listen to Five Finger Death Punch on iHeartRadio
Five Finger Death Punch are getting a little "Priestly" help on their latest single. The band teamed up with Judas Priest frontman Rob Halfard to record "Lift Me Up," which is available digitally today.
Five Finger Death Punch first shared the new tune during their performance with Halford at the "Revolver" Golden Gods Awards earlier this month.
Singer Ivan Moody says it was "absolutely surreal" working with Halford, whom he calls "THE Metal God."
"Lift Me Up" is the first release from Five Finger Death Punch's upcoming album, The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1. The record is due out July 23rd, while "Volume 2" is expected out this fall.
