WINGATE, N.C.- The Brevard College men's soccer team only managed three shots while suffering a 3-0 loss to Wingate in a South Atlantic Conference match Friday night in Wingate, N.C.
The Tornados fell to 3-8, 1-5 SAC and drop to 0-6 on the road while the Bulldogs improved to 8-3, 5-2 SAC and remain in second place in the conference standings.
The first half resulted in a stale mate as neither team could muster much offensively.
In the 70th minute, Wingate's Shaun Gadsby broke the scoreless tie when he chipped a shot over BC goalkeeper Heath Turner after receiving a redirected pass from Charlie Machell. Machell gathered the ball at the top of the box from Victor Tozelli.
The Bulldogs didn't waste any time while the struck again 80 seconds later when Pedro Figuiera buried a shot in the back of the night while Gadsby collected an assist.
Wingate delivered the knockout blow in the 82nd minute when Peron Da Silva found the corner of the net following a pair of passes of the feet of Machell and Figuiera to make it a 3-0 match.
Despite allowing three goals, Turner racked up eight saves while Wingate's netminder Sanjit Kang managed only two. The Bulldogs paced the game offensively while they accumulated 21 shots compared to BC's three. Ryan McPhillips, Alec Goettl and Adam Martin each recorded a shot. Figuiera paced the Bulldogs with four shots while Da Silva had four.
The Tornados will step out of conference when they travel to Pfeiffer Wednesday at 3 p.m. in Misenheimer, N.C.

Required Reading: Classic resources you shouldn't research without.
Limners and tappers and bothes, oh my! Next time an unfamiliar term stymies your research, consult A to Zax: A Comprehensive Dictionary for Genealogists and Historians by Barbara Jean Evans (Heritage Books). It explains thousands of little-used and old-fashioned words and abbreviations - medical, legal, religious, occupational, monetary, geographical, ethnic and colloquial vocabulary - that will help you decipher old documents. The book's a true bargain considering how often you'll reach for it, and it's compact enough to take along on research trips. (In case you were wondering: A limner is a self-taught traveling artist, a tapper is an innkeeper and a bothe is a storehouse or a shop where goods are sold.)

The value set characterizing all the activities of this department is, in the last analysis, a belief in the basic dignity of every human being.
From this perspective we move to the more immediate objectives: to present students with various facets of the contemporary social world in a scientific and empirical manner.
This includes analysis of social structures, interactive processes, the nature and function of institutions, social group relationships, cultural-environment interrelationships, and cross-cultural studies with some emphasis on cultures outside the Euro-American tradition.
Furthermore, the department offers to its students an orientation of self in relation to others and to basic social institutions, including the family, church and state as well as the economic, educational and governmental processes within a global framework.
The department offers the major B.A. in Sociology. A concentration in criminology is available to sociology majors.
The research methods requirements, SOC 206. Qualitative Research Methods and SOC 207. Quantitative Research Methods, are based on the belief that effective participation in the contemporary world requires a background in research strategies. To achieve this goal, the student has access to the University's academic computer system via terminals in the departmental complex. The current version of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSSx) is the principal software used by the department. Other programs are available for use. This allows the student hands-on experience with the current state of research technology. If a student wishes to continue this orientation, he or she may obtain a minor in computer science.
The Social Science major at St. Bonaventure University has been discontinued. No new students were admitted to the program after Jan. 20, 2010. Faculty and administration will work with students already enrolled in the program to complete the degree requirements. For more information on the degree requirements, consult the 2009-2010 Undergraduate Catalog.
The department is strongly committed to its advisory system. Each student is assigned to a faculty member who will function as that student's adviser until graduation. The student, in serious consultation with his or her adviser, will develop a program that best balances the needs of the student with the requirements of the department.

UCLA won't be plucking its next great coach out of Indiana.
Butler's Brad Stevens will remain in Indianapolis, multiple reports indicated Friday morning, turning down a chance at guiding one of the nation's most historic programs.
The 36-year-old head coach was a top target for the Bruins after they officially fired Ben Howland on Sunday, ending a 10-season tenure that included three straight Final Fours.
Stevens led the Bulldogs to back-to-back national title games in 2010 and 2011, and will be a crucial part of the team's transition to the new Big East next season.
Like John Wooden, who won 10 national titles in Westwood, Stevens is a native Hoosier.
Stevens reportedly makes $1 million a year and has turned down numerous offers from bigger-name programs since his Final Four runs.
He tweeted Friday morning: "Love walking thru Hinkle (Fieldhouse) in the morning... Anxious to get started on our spring workouts next week."
ESPN first reported Friday morning Stevens would stay. The news organization had initially reported Thursday evening UCLA was in contract negotiations with Stevens before backtracking.
After missing on Stevens, the Bruins might look at candidates such as Marquette's Buzz Williams or Wichita State's Gregg Marshall. Both have advanced their teams to the Elite Eight this season, with the latter playing in today's West Regional at Staples Center.
Like Stevens and VCU's Shaka Smart - who signed a 10-year extension earlier this week - Marshall might be inclined to stay at a mid-major. The parity in college basketball has made the small-pond mentality much more amenable to coaches, and the 50-year-old suggested he is in no hurry to leave Wichita, Kan.
"I've been a head coach for 15 years, and at least 10 of those years there's been conjecture like that," he said at a Friday news conference.
"I've made one coaching move in 15 years, so I'm not a jumper.
"I'm very pleased to be the coach at Wichita State, content, happy, and you can't buy happy. I've got a great group of guys here playing in the Elite Eight, and that should be the focus."
Marshall led Winthrop to seven NCAA Tournament berths in nine years before taking over the Shockers in 2007. He will try for his first Final Four berth against No. 2-seeded Ohio State at 4 p.m. today.
UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero said Sunday he would not contact coaches still participating in the NCAA Tournament. Perhaps left unsaid was the possibility of gauging interest through intermediaries.
The Bruins could also still try and get established names like Louisville's Rick Pitino or Florida's Billy Donovan, but both seem like pipe dreams after Stevens' rejection.
Guerrero had suggested NBA candidates are also a possibility, although college coaches are a priority.
Father: Kyle Anderson not leaving
Point forward Kyle Anderson appears to be staying at UCLA for a second season. His father, Kyle Anderson Sr., told the Orange County Register his son currently "does not have plans to declare" for the NBA draft.
The 6-foot-9 freshman led the Bruins with 8.6 rebounds per game, adding 9.7 points and 3.5 assists.
Anderson doesn't have a refined offensive game and isn't regarded as a first-round draft pick, but his passing vision and rebounding instincts have made him an intriguing pro prospect.
If his plans don't change, Anderson will almost certainly start at point guard next season.
Shabazz Muhammad, the Pac-12 Co-Freshman of the Year, is still widely expected to turn pro.

Fairgoers who wander into the new State Fair Eco-Experience exhibits will be the first recruited to join the Minnesota Energy Challenge. But organizers hope all Minnesotans will accept the challenge when the campaign goes statewide in a few weeks.
"Everybody can do lightbulbs. They're easy to do. Everybody can do them. It's sort of a no-brainer," says Sheldon Strom, Executive Director of the Center for Energy and Environment - the group sponsoring the challenge.
Strom says it's not only simple to upgrade lightbulbs, it's surprisingly cost effective.
"An incandescent light essentially wastes 95-percent of the energy that goes into it. Only 5-percent of it or 6-percent of it is useful light. Almost all of it is heat and very little of it is light," he says.
In contrast he says compact fluorescents use only about a quarter as much energy.
"They last much longer, they last seven to 10 years. Over the term of their life they save a lot of money, $30 to $50 per bulb," he says.
That sounds appealing to Selma Steiner. She didn't know anything about CFLs before she stopped by the Minnesota Energy Challenge booth to chat with a volunteer.
"Do they fit in every socket? For the most part, yep. They have the same base as an incandescent. Do they have different wattages? Yep. They're all different wattages."
It didn't take much to convince Steiner. After learning that the bulbs cost as little as $2 to $3 a piece, she agreed she would give them a try. "It really is wonderful to save that much energy because we're gonna be short of energy pretty soon. I'm very impressed with them," she says.
A few feet away, Terry Conard, is checking out an information board on CFLs. Conard recently bought four of the bulbs. But he's not sure he bought the right wattage for his reading lamp.
"I'm kind of having trouble adjusting to the light because they seem to put out less light," he says.
Still Conard says he's willing to purchase more bulbs even though he isn't sure they're saving him any money yet.
"They cost a little more than the regular light bulb. But in the long-run they say they will pay for themselves. So I think it's a good idea."
Fairgoer Chris Lenius has already changed out almost all of the light bulbs in his house to CFLs. He stopped by the booth to find out why his CFL bulbs vary so much in color.
"It doesn't make much difference to me, but my wife still likes the incandescent light quality better. And you can see here there's a big range of colors that I didn't really know about until I started buying different bulbs from different places and just noticed that they didn't match as well as I assumed they would," he says.
"That's really the problem. I think people are willing to do it. But they've had experience five or six years ago with poor quality lights," says Sheldon Strom. He says just like incandescent light bulbs, there is significant variation among CFLs in terms of light output and color rendition. He says the more people learn to look for these difference before they buy the bulbs, they more satisfied they'll be.
"That's why we think it's important that there be these displays so people really know how to make these informed choices, because it does seem a little complicated." Strom says ultimately the goal of the Minnesota Energy Challenge is to reduce energy use in Minnesota by 2-percent. That's the current rate of energy growth each year. Strom says Minnesotans probably won't be able to get there by just changing lightbulbs, but he says if Minnesotans are able to conserve that much energy through a variety of ways the state wouldn't have to build any more power plants.
On October 1st the Minnesota Energy Challenge will unveil a Web site with many more suggestions on how Minnesotans can reduce energy use. The Web site will keep a running tally on how much energy and money Minnesotans are saving by participating in the challenge.

Did Al Qaeda really decide the Spanish election?
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
Bush administration officials, including President George W. Bush and national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, have been trying to spin a possible terrorist attack before the November 2004 presidential election as an effort to replicate the terrorists' alleged success in Spain, the site of a train bombing in March.
Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge also warned of a possible terrorist effort to "disrupt the democratic process," which a senior U.S. intelligence official compared to the attack in Spain.
Underlying the Bush administration officials' predictions is the assumption that the March attack in Madrid in fact brought about the ouster of pro-Bush, Iraq war supporter Prime Minister José María Aznar, who lost to Socialist Party challenger Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero the week after the terrorist attack.
This assumption has incurred little challenge. Members of the media have dutifully echoed the Bush administration's line, presenting as fact that Al Qaeda or an affiliated terrorist organization succeeded in bringing about Aznar's defeat. On July 8, CNN justice correspondent Kelli Arena stated -- just prior to CNN's live coverage of Ridge's briefing on possible Al Qaeda plans to disrupt the American election -- that "Al Qaeda could be trying to disrupt the November elections, which they were very successful in doing in Madrid, if you remember."
In the July 19 issue of Newsweek, in an article exploring the potential postponement of the presidential election, investigative correspondent Michael Isikoff expanded on Al Qaeda's perceived role in Spain's election, speaking of "the success of March's Madrid railway bombings in influencing the Spanish elections."
As Media Matters for America has previously documented, some media outlets have even framed the potential terrorist threat to the U.S. election in partisan political terms, suggesting a preference by Al Qaeda in the outcome of the election, like there purportedly was in Spain.
For example, The New York Times repeated (and MSNBC repeated) unsourced speculation that New York, the site of this summer's Republican National Convention, is a bigger terrorist target than Boston, where the Democrats will hold their convention. CNN's Arena went so far as to report without citation, "[T]here is some speculation that Al Qaeda believes it has a better chance of winning in Iraq if John Kerry is in the White House."
Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, fully articulated the view that Al Qaeda might attempt an attack in the United States for the same "desired" "effect" that terrorists achieved in Spain (i.e., to remove a governing political party hostile to their aims), when he said the following on the July 12 edition of FOX News Channel's Special Report with Brit Hume:
SABATO: They did it in Spain, of course, and it had the effect they desired, which was to throw out the incumbent party that had been friendly to the United States and involved in Iraq, and put into place a socialist government that quickly withdrew all Spanish troops.
However, Sabato predicted that if Al Qaeda were "to participate in electioneering in that way" in the United States, "the American electorate" would not "react the same way as the Spanish electorate" and would not likely "turn tail on the incumbent government."
But the assumption that terrorists successfully brought about Aznar's defeat in Spain is questionable. Even if the Madrid terrorist attacks had not occurred, polls show that the election would have been very close. Opinion polls taken before the attack showed the Populist Party's lead over the rival Socialist Party to be between as few as three percentage points and as many as six percentage points -- figures at or near the statistical margin of error.
Furthermore, in the March 21 European edition of TIME magazine, Paris and Brussels bureau chief James Graff reported, "[J]ust hours before the bombings, results leaked from private PP [Aznar's Populist Party] and PSOE [Zapatero's Socialist Party] polling showed the parties in a dead heat, according to the veteran Madrid journalist José Antonio Martínez Soler." Even though the American edition of TIME accepted that the Spain bombings may be motivating Osama bin Laden to engage in "preelection terror," the magazine reported that the result of the Spanish elections would likely have been "similar" had they been held a year before: "[P]olls last March found that as much as 90 percent of Spanish voters opposed their government's support for the war in Iraq. The latest terror attacks simply put the Iraq issue back at center stage."
Other evidence suggests that the terrorist attacks may have had some effect on the outcome of the election -- but only indirectly and not in the manner that the terrorists purportedly intended. After the bombings, the Populist Party was greatly weakened by public accusations of a cover-up when, as Graff noted, the "government [led by Aznar] persisted in blaming the Basque terrorists of ETA -- even after news broke of an al-Qaeda connection" as possible retaliation for "Aznar's support for the war in Iraq, which 90% of Spaniards opposed."
The Washington Post reported on March 16 that determining that the ETA Basque separatists committed the attack would have proven politically beneficial to Aznar (and his government), who had "been widely credited for taking a tough stance against ETA." However, when it became apparent to many voters that Aznar was covering up Al Qaeda's responsibility for the attack, distrust of Aznar (which had already taken root, in part as a result of what the Post described as "claims that Aznar's government had concealed damaging information about a major oil spill off Spain's Atlantic coast two years ago") grew. As Graff reported, "[O]n election day, the Socialists surged to an astounding 5% lead over the PP."

Hey folks,
I recently purchased an addition domain for my website to be used for its blog.
What I really want are two separate identities, mysite.com and myblog.com, not mysite.com and mysite.com/blog (if that makes sense :P)
Anyway, I've purchased the blog domain and when I try to set it up, all its doing right now is redirecting, but in reality, I want it to redirect, but show the same url at the top.
Right now if I were to go to myblog.com for example, it would go to mysite.com/blog/wordpress/index.php as a redirect, and that is all messy. Yes, I still want the blog to go to that subfolder of my original site, but I want it to instead of showing the mess seen above, I want it to stay as "myblog.com" when it goes to the index.
Would this be possible, and if so how would I go about doing it?
Thanks a ton,
Update: The best I can seem to get is something along the lines of myblog.com/blog/wordpres/index.php, which is better, but still not what I'm trying to do
When you set up an add-on domain you specify the folder you want it to use as its home folder. Simply point that at the WordPress folder and you should get what you want - no redirect required.
I'm not quite sure what you mean. What I'm currently doing is editing a file named default.asp in my main website directory, and basically telling it that whenever myblog.com is typed, go to mysite.com/blog/wordpress/index.php, but again, it will just show all that junk with it, when I really want that path to be seen as simply "myblog.com" ;/
For what it's worth, none of this seems like a very good idea to me. I would go for mysite.com/blog as your blog URL. It's straightforward and perfectly fine, and saves you all this trouble.
It looks like you've put your WP files in a /blog/ folder and then in a /wordpress/ folder, which is inefficient, by the way. All you need to do is dump the wp files in the /blog/ folder, so that you can access it with mysite.com/blog.
As I understand it, Elementax wants a completely separate domain (myblog.com) for the blog, not a subdomain of mysite.com.
To access it from myblog.com, you need to install the files directly into the root directory for that domain. You mentioned default.asp, which makes me think you're using a Windows server, and I have no experience there. (I have almost no experience with WP, either. ) Using Softaculous to install it via cPanel, you get a dialogue like this:
and just leave the box empty to install to the domain root.

and just leave the box empty to install to the domain root.
@Elementax; I can't help but wonder if by "purchased an addition domain" you mean you've paid the host for it - but - you have not paid for and registered the second domain name or set up the DNS mapping.
I purchased it through the hosting provider (who uses an additional site to manage it) and basically just added an if statement to the default.asp file indicating when myblog.com is typed, go to mysite.com/blog directory. That work's fine, people can access the site, but the issue is, it is basically a redirect because after I type in myblog.com, it sends me to the site, but instead of showing myblog.com in the address bar like it should, it shows myblog.com/blog, it's basically just masking mysite.com, lol
+1 to that, it will keep things simple.
I did end up dumping all the files into /blog/ folder as suggested, but in terms of URL, it really needs its own domain for the way I would like to brand it, hence why I don't want the simplistic mysite.com/blog
In that case, as I said earlier, install WordPress directly into the root directory/folder for the domain, not into a sub-directory like /blog/.
I'm not entirely sure I know what you mean? My current site is in the root directly right now, with it's own domain, and I'm adding an additional directory full of the wordpress files because I want it to be separate in terms of domain names, not just a mysite.com/blog setup.
You need to add it in the root directory of the new domain. If that's hosted as mysitedomain.com/myblogdomain.com, then put it in the folder for myblogdomain.com

LONG BEACH - Nurses at Community Hospital Long Beach voted Friday to join the California Nurses Association, the union announced.
About 76 percent of Community Hospital's 200 registered nurses voted in favor of joining CNA, which also represents RNs at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, Miller Children's Hospital and St. Mary Medical Center.
In a secret ballot election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board, the hospital's registered nurses voted 94 to 30 to join CNA, according to the union.
"I am so glad we were successful at joining CNA," RN Gerardine Ramos-Monton said in a statement. "We built our organization in just a few weeks because we are more united than ever by our deep concern for improving patient care practices at our hospital."
With Community, CNA represents roughly 2,700 registered nurses at the major Long Beach hospitals, said CNA spokesman David Johnson.
"It's a great day not only for nurses in Long Beach, but for the patients of Long Beach," Johnson said.
Now, nurses at Community will elect a team to represent them in negotiations for their first contract in the near future, Johnson said.

Report: Aaron Hernandez Referenced Bible Verse With Blood
Disturbing details are coming out about the apparent suicide of former New England Patriots star and convicted murderer Aaron Hernandez. Local media in Massachusetts report Hernandez cut his finger and wrote "John 3:16" in blood on his forehead. The 27-year-old also had his Bible open to that verse, which says whoever believes in God "shall not perish but have eternal life."
There's also reportedly evidence that Hernandez smoked synthetic marijuana before hanging himself in his jail cell early Wednesday. Hernandez was serving life in prison for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd. Last week, he was acquitted of fatally shooting 2 men outside a Boston nightclub in 2012.

cduino is a microcontroller programming system that is like arduino but simpler. It allows experienced programmers to get a quick start programming and talking to a microcontroller. You should be up and talking to your arduino over the serial line in a matter of minutes. This is achieved using a very easy Makefile-based driver for the command line Atmel AVR programming tools, a library of C routines, and a series of lessons that introduce a variety of AVR subsystems.
The DocBook Authoring and Publishing Suite (DAPS) provides a tool set for easy creation and publication of DocBook sources on Linux. It lets you create HTML (including Webhelp), PDF, EPUB, man pages, and other formats with a single command. It automatically takes care of validating and filtering (profiling) your sources and automatically converts images into a format best suited for the output format. You can easily create profiled source tarballs for translation or review. DAPS supports authors by providing linkchecker, validator, spellchecker, and editor macros. It is well suited to manage large documentation projects with multiple authors using the DAPS docmanager.
The Crossplex package of make macros simplifies the creation of embedded systems, and is powerful enough for large organizations to use for developing elaborate product lines. It allows you to organize many different products under a logical structure, making systems of any complexity easy to specify. When you have many different target platforms, each with multiple different software configurations, Crossplex keeps those configurations from stepping on each other, without requiring redundancy in your source tree. Crossplex allows you to use a single dependency tree encompassing both in-house software and third-party packages, and it is particularly suited to build automation. Crossplex makes it easy to shield your build from the host environment, setting all shell variables explicitly, and giving you complete control over the path that is used at any point in the build. This is nice when you want to support building on a variety of development platforms. Crossplex scales to your needs. You can dabble in the unpacking and patching features as you need them, or you can base your entire system from the ground up on the Crossplex framework. Crossplex supports creation and use of glibc and uClibc toolchains.
Source Ruckus Linux is an embeddable, robust Linux meta-distribution. It's a collection of build tools, source packages, scripts, and documentation all ready to be built into a Linux distribution. It can be used out-of-the-box, but its real strength lies in being used as a base for your own distribution. In other words, it exists purely to be forked, although it can be used as-is.
instmake allows you to instrument builds with GNU Make and then analyze what happened during those builds. It saves a very detailed build log and has reports to analyze those records. The reports provide you better insight into the build, allow you to find race conditions, and to analyze the parallelism of the build.

Men's soccer drops second straight to open 2010 campaignSeptember 3, 2010
Rock Hill, S.C. – The Brevard College men's soccer team was handed their second loss and fell to 0-2 after dropping their second match of the season 2-0 to Winthrop University on Friday night.
Niclas Stolt (Kaarina, Finland) led the offensive attack of the Tornados with three of Brevard's eight shots in the match. Freshman goalkeeper Pauli Jussila (Valkeakoski, Findland) was charged with his second loss of the season in as many matches.
Winthrop scored a goal in each half. The first came from Miguel Casajuana when he netted one at the 40:13 mark on a penalty kick . The second goal came at the 62:57 mark when Wylie Rea headed one past Jussila off a pass from Casajuana.
Brevard was outshot 27-8 by the Eagles. Winthrop also had the edge in corner kicks beating out BC 6-2.
The Tornados head into the weekend 0-2 and will open their home season on Sunday afternoon at p.m. when the Trojans of Mount Olive College come to Brevard College Soccer Field.

Malik Marjan
Wildlife Biologist/Conservationist
Photograph by Becky Hale
The war raged for decades. But as millions fled Sudan, Malik Marjan returned to conduct work many considered impossible, crazy, or both. Most assumed wildlife in the region had been decimated by years of brutal conflict. Undaunted, Marjan undertook field surveys first on foot, then by air. The results astonished the world. Against all odds, some species of southern Sudan's wildlife not only survived, but now thrive—in numbers rivaling even the great Serengeti migrations.
When civil war engulfed southern Sudan in 1983, nearly all conservation work ceased. Marjan says that when he returned in 1999 with a master's degree in conservation biology, "it was difficult to convince people wildlife still existed there, but I knew it did."
Fewer than ten people were involved in wildlife and forestry at the time. "We started from zero. No resources. Nothing. We'd meet in each other's houses. When we started fieldwork to count wildlife, we were going into the unknown. People could shoot at you in the bush, or you might step on a landmine. But we didn't allow ourselves to think about the dangers. We set up the New Sudan Wildlife Conservation Organization at Boma. We considered our service part of the efforts of people who lived in the woods and fought for liberation. If we helped conserve resources that had not only natural but economic value, people would ultimately benefit."
His initial field data provided critical baseline information about wildlife populations, distribution, and the war's impact. These reports, accompanied by photographs and videos, offered proof and revived support for conservation efforts.
Marjan's findings also attracted the attention of Michael Fay, a National Geographic explorer-in-residence and conservationist with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Together with Paul Elkan, director of the WCS Southern Sudan Country Program, they planned and executed the 2007 aerial survey that transformed the world's view of wildlife in the region.
The airborne trio witnessed staggering numbers of white-eared kob, a type of antelope, streaming below their plane. They also observed great numbers of other antelope believed to be extinct in the region. In all, they confirmed more than 1.2 million antelopes and gazelles—a massive and previously unknown migration that could be the largest on Earth. Thousands of elephants, ostriches, and buffalo were also counted.
Their methodology replicated techniques used in the last aerial surveys of the area, performed more than 25 years ago. The team flew at an altitude of 300 feet along carefully plotted transects spanning 58,000 square miles.
"Everyone told us we'd find nothing," Marjan recalls. "So it was easy to fear we might fail. But these incredible results amazed everyone, both inside and outside Sudan. We've shown the world what's here and it's a huge relief. In fact, we feel the numbers may be even higher than recorded because so many animals were moving at the time."
Marjan currently divides his time between fieldwork and as a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where he is a Wildlife Conservation Society Beinecke African Scholar. His next surveys will focus on identifying exactly where antelope spend the long rainy season, a location never before determined. "The area is impassable by foot or even in vehicles," he explains. "When the last surveys were made, satellite tracking collars hadn't been developed. I hope to use this technology to collect data that will finally solve the mystery."
Marjan's findings could not come at more crucial time. Since the 2005 peace accord, hundreds of thousands of refugees are resettling in southern Sudan. Ensuing development, as well as concessions granted for oil exploration, put the region's newly discovered abundance of wildlife at risk.
"Authorities need accurate information about wildlife populations, migration routes, and breeding grounds so they can protect these areas," he notes. "Our studies may not stop oil exploration and development, but they will show how it can be done more responsibly. Already, many people say that wildlife is our oil; they realize the economic impact ecotourism could have.
"I am hopeful," he says, "that our government can find ways to harmonize nature and development. The data we collect provides the best argument for doing so. But more work needs to be done … and done in time to make a difference."

I noticed how tough it is to clean the earthenware if the slip drops on the cement floor. It leaves stains.
So, I decided to use the earthenware slip as a stain on my cemented retaining wall. Just to even the colors and make the wall more attractive.
Does anyone have any suggestion how to make it a little more weather proof? I am afraid that the rain will clean it off the wall easily.

I think you would apply a exterior concrete sealer over it as long as it just stain not an actual layer of clay. I do some acid etch staining on concrete and they sell a sealer for it to keep the colors from fading. Your suppose to put new sealer on it yearly, I thinks it's easier to spray it with acid etch again so I have never used it. Denice

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Measure R is Fair Play
November 2, 2011
Measure R is fair to taxpayers because no taxes are raised in this economy. Existing funds are shared equitably between bike paths and youth ball fields. Ball field improvements can go to enhance both boys and girls sports. And better softball fields attract more tournament visitors who will fairly share their vacation money with South Lake Tahoe! Sounds like a fairly great idea.
Vote "Yes" on Measure R.

There's a common misconception that test-driven development is a testing technique when in fact it's a design technique. In this column, Jeff Patton explains this and how you might use your unit tests to explicitly guide and describe the design of your software.
For those already doing test-driven development, you probably know that test-driven development is not testing. So, go ahead and grab a cup of coffee, but you should keep reading to see if you agree or disagree with everything I'm saying.
For a few years I've been using unit testing frameworks and test-driven development and encouraging others to do the same. The common predictable objections are "Writing unit tests takes too much time," or "How could I write tests first if I don't know what it does yet?" And then there's the popular excuse: "Unit tests won't catch all the bugs." The sad misconception is that test-driven development is testing, which is understandable given the unfortunate name of the technique.
If I were designing a bit of code the old-fashioned way, I'd think about the object I was about to create, what it would do, and maybe even write it down or draw a UML diagram. Then I'd write the code. But now I'd start by writing a unit test in my favorite unit-testing framework. Here's where I get to have fun and pretend I've already written the code for my object. So, while still imagining my object, I'd ask, "What would its class name be? What other objects would it collaborate with? What methods would I call on it? What would they return?" In my unit test, I instantiate the imaginary object and ask it to do a bit of work for me, which I would assert it did flawlessly. Afterwards, I'm left with a little bit of code that uses the object I have to build, and describes exactly how the object will be used. I've designed the object—now I just need to write it.
If you're a java developer using a newer IDE, then you know the tests you write give your IDE the information it needs to write much of the code for you. For example, the IDE might offer to create the class and any methods you'd used in the test case, saving you lots of typing. After creating the class, I implement the methods I've described. Here is where it gets fun: I know I've implemented the code as designed by running the unit test!
Once you start looking at your test cases as a description of the software design, they start to look different. Pay attention to the names of your tests. Instead of writing tests named after a method on an object you're testing, try using the test name to capture the intended consequences.
Instead of a single test for the processFoo() method on your object:
- testProccesingFooProducesBar()
- testProcessingFooLogsTimingsToFooLog()
- testProcessFooWithBadinputThrowsExceptionContainingBadData()
If I convert those test names to sentences, I might end up with something like this:
- Processing a Foo produces a Bar.
- Processing a Foo logs timings to the Foo Log.
- Processing a Foo with bad input throws an Exception containing the bad data.
Now my names look more like design specifications! Folks who've been doing test-driven development for years see it this way. In Alistair Cockburn's book Crystal Clear, he specifically points out the importance of readability of the test case as a design document. Nifty open source tools like TestDox from Chris Stevenson actually let you browse and write test cases in your IDE as little bulleted design documents.

"Kindness" might be too frivolous a word to describe the heroic undoing of a terrible injustice. Anthony Graves spent 18 years on death row for the horrific slaughter of an entire family, his fate sealed in part by the word of another convicted killer who later recanted. In 2002, after he had already served eight years in prison, University of St. Thomas journalism students, under the direction of instructor Nicole Casarez, took a closer look into the case. What resulted was a Pandora's box of prosecutorial misconduct indicating that the Burleson County District Attorney's Office didn't care whether Graves was actually guilty. In 2006, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Graves's conviction and ordered a new trial. But a special prosecutor assigned to the case determined there was not a shred of evidence Graves committed the murders. He's now a free man, thanks in part to a bunch of dedicated students. Makes us kind of ashamed to think of how we spent our undergrad years.
If Cripe's name looks familiar, it might be because you've read her statements when she was with Continental Airlines, or her passionate involvement with a mayoral task force formed to fix the city's tarnished animal control department. More recently, embattled City Councilwoman Jolanda Jones tapped Cripe to help explain her side in an oft-confusing, largely idiotic investigation that hinged in part on whether Jones had used a city fax machine. Cripe either lacks (or is damn good at hiding) the hostility that a lot of flacks harbor toward the media; instead, she proved to be a reliable source of information and intelligent statements — even on deadline. We've never felt like we were getting the runaround with Cripe, whose dedication to her clients comes without ridiculous spin. To us media folk, it's remarkably refreshing.
Few local government agencies were as dysfunctional as Metro for the last ten years or so. Run by a secretive, defensive management that disdained transparency and any criticism, the agency ran up big costs, got little done and put Houston's projected light-rail system at great risk by trying to cut legal corners. Not long after Mayor Annise Parker took office, things began to change, and the biggest change was putting in George Greanias as CEO. A former city councilman and shoulda-been mayor who lacked only TV-age charisma, Greanias is a numbers guy who demands things be run ethically, cheaply, smartly and openly. For people used to dealing with the old Metro, the 180-degree turns can sometimes cause whiplash. And yes, he needs better habits when it comes to porn and Metro computers. But if that's the biggest scandal of his time there, we'll take that any day as compared to his profligate predecessors.
This might be a bit of a cheat, because Nikki Araguz — who first came into our consciousness when her firefighting husband died in the line of duty and it was subsequently revealed she was born with a penis (or a penis-like birth defect, depending on what version she's telling at the time) — has managed to have multiple 15-minute bursts of fame. Just when it seemed the media frenzy surrounding the court battle over her late husband's inheritance was winding down, a filmmaker issued a press release saying Araguz was going to have her very own reality show, centered around her dating life. This was followed by Araguz being accused of stealing a woman's expensive watch. Every few months, for the past year, Araguz has managed to resurface, and while it hasn't always been under the best circumstances, we have the feeling she tremendously enjoys the attention. And it appears the rest of us enjoy giving it to her.

Midvale • High school administrators concerned about longer bus rides, lost rivalries and smaller gate margins lobbied Wednesday night, hoping to improve their lots on the eve of an athletics realignment decision and the state's move to a six-classification system for football.
The Utah High School Activities Association's 30-member board of trustees took public comment from dozens of school officials from around the state, and will make a final decision during a meeting Thursday morning.
"One thing that is clear is how much passion people have," board chairman Bill Boyle said.
It might be the only thing that's absolutely clear after the two-hour meeting.
The board of trustees will have to "walk a tightrope" as it deals with those conflicting interests Thursday, Boyle said.
Multiple schools with enrollments that put them on the bubble of being in one class or another cited safety in asking to stay in the smaller classes.
"It's not just kids taking licks in the win-loss record, but taking licks physically," Hillcrest principal Susan Malone said, in asking that her school remain in 4A.
For a number of schools on the south end of the Salt Lake Valley, UHSAA's first realignment proposal caused worry.
Under the current proposal, Herriman would move up from 4A to 5A, and would be the only Salt Lake County school in a region otherwise made up of Utah County schools.
Herriman principal James Birch said such a region would ruin traditional rivalries with schools such as Bingham and Riverton.
"To split them up and send us down south takes that away from those kids, this natural rivalry that's formed throughout their lives."
It also hurts attendance at games, the principal said. When Westlake last played at Herriman, the school brought just 55 fans, Birch said.
"There's something psychological about the Point of the Mountain," Riverton assistant principal Curtis Hagen said.
Hagen proposed an east/west split that would allow those southwestern Salt Lake County schools to be together. So many games in Utah County would also add to travel costs that have increased $14,000 since the last realignment two years ago, Hagen said.
A North Sanpete representative said the new proposal would mean a $19,000 increase in travel costs for athletics alone.
Changes in enrollment the primary reason why the UHSAA takes on the realignment effort every two years will prompt a handful of moves.
Westlake will likely join Herriman in moving up to 5A. Ogden, Wasatch, Payson and Spanish Fork are all currently slated to compete in 4A beginning next year.
The UHSAA's move to a six-classification system will have the biggest impacts on the state's smaller schools. The current 3A will be split into two groups: 3AA, the larger of the two, and 3A. Five teams that played last season in 2A will likely move up to 3A. And 1A could lose two teams, leaving just eight teams competing for a football title.
"I hope we can make a commitment that 1A football won't go away because of that," said Rich School District superintendent Dale Lamborn.

What I'm asking is, instead of having any other OS with BT running in a virtual box, can I have it the other way around - BT with something else running in a VB?

University to hold 26th commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr.
The University of South Carolina will commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with three special events January 15-19.
The Black Law Students Association will kick off MLK events with a legal symposium Thursday, Jan. 15, at 6 p.m. in the law auditorium. The program will feature a panel discussion with Ernest A. Finney, former chief justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court; current state Supreme Court Justice Donald W. Beatty; and Columbia attorney I.S. Leevy Johnson. Judi Gatson of WIS-TV will moderate, and the Spring Valley High School Gospel Choir will perform. The program is free and open to the public.
Highlighting the celebration will be a commemorative breakfast at 7:30 a.m. Friday, Jan. 16, featuring U.S. Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.) as guest speaker, at The Zone at Williams-Brice Stadium. Tickets are on sale through Jan. 15 at the Russell House information desk and at the Carolina Coliseum box office. Tickets are $8 for the public and $2 for students. Also during the breakfast, the MLK Holiday Committee will present the university's first Martin Luther King Jr. Day Social Justice Award to a student, faculty and staff member. The award recognizes individuals who have exemplified the philosophies of King through random or ongoing acts of community service, social justice or racial reconciliation.
The commemorative events will conclude with the 12th annual Day of Service Monday, Jan. 19. Volunteers will participate from 9:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. in a wide variety of service projects throughout the Columbia community.
This year marks the 26th consecutive year that the university has held a formal program to pay tribute to the late civil-rights leader.

WOW! Failed Assassination Attempt in Russia
The hitman was targeting 56-year-old Leonid Kolesnikov, Chief Executive Officer of a St. Petersburg company.
Kolesnikov was going to a store in the town of Sertolovo, located just north of St. Petersburg, around 10 a.m. local time.
In the video, Kolesnikov is seen parking his vehicle when a man wearing a black jacket enters the frame. The man is holding a bag that is concealing a gun, walks up to the car and attempts to fire two shots through the window.
The first shot hit Kolesnikov but the gun misfired on the second attempt.

Pedestrian Safety
Walking is an excellent form of exercise that most anyone can do. If you plan to walk in an area where there is vehicular traffic, you should be aware of safe walking and driving practices. Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind:
- When walking, wear light colors so motorists can see you.
- Make sure to make use of crosswalks whenever available.
- Remember, when crossing a street, look left, look right and look left again.
- When walking at night, reflective clothing or flashlights make you more visible to motorists.
- Dusk and dawn are the most dangerous times of the day for pedestrians. If walking or jogging, make sure you walk against the traffic and remember reflective clothing.
- Drinking and walking can be as dangerous as drinking and driving, as a person who has been drinking may not be aware of surroundings and may walk in front of traffic.

Foods processed, repackaged and/or warehoused are subject to health regulations controlling facility construction, sanitation, product standards and package labeling. "Food processing" means the handling or processing of any food in any manner for the sale for human consumption.
The following is a short checklist to follow when getting ready to start a new food business:
Adequate water and sewage systems
Equipment designed, constructed and installed properly
Facility secure from insects, birds and rodents
Physical Facility
Foods/ingredients obtained from approved sources
Processing or repackaging areas separated from other operations
Refrigeration/freezer equipment to meet the needs of the operation
Sinks for handwashing, equipment/utensil washing and floor clean up
Each facility shall be equipped with effective plumbing and sewage facilities and adequate accommodations including, but not limited to, the following:
All processing equipment and utensils shall be so designed and of such material and workmanship as to be effectively cleanable and shall be properly maintained. The design, construction, and use of equipment and utensils shall preclude the adulteration of food with lubricants, fuel, metal fragments, contaminated water, or any other contaminants. All equipment shall be so installed and maintained as to facilitate the cleaning of the equipment and of all adjacent spaces. Food-contact surfaces shall be corrosion-resistant when in contact with food. They shall be made of nontoxic materials and designed to withstand the environment of their intended use and the action of food, and, if applicable, cleaning compounds and sanitizing agents. Food-contact surfaces shall be maintained to protect food from being contaminated by any source, including unlawful indirect food additives by the following means:
|Stainless steel and hi-impact, scratch-resistant plastic (Formica, Teflon, and thermal plastic) are recommended for most contact surfaces.
|Metal or finished wood is satisfactory depending on their use, such as in bakeries.
|Not Satisfactory
|Unfinished Wood. Except for hardwood tables used for bakery, make-up tables, unfinished wood frames, counter tops and shelves are NOT satisfactory.
Protect outer openings against the entry of insects, rodents, or other vermin by:
Constructing facility in such a manner that:
Floor Materials. The type of flooring material varies with different processing areas and the amount and type of foot traffic. Food processing areas require flooring which can be readily cleaned and maintained in good repair. Materials such as well-sealed hardwood may be suitable for some areas of a bakery where dry clean-up methods are appropriate.
Food processing areas that require flood-type cleaning (such as a cider mill) need well-sealed concrete floors with cove base and adequate drains. Heavy use areas with large, moveable equipment require more durable flooring.
Unfinished wood floors are NOT suitable in any plant areas.
In general, vinyl linoleum or tile floor covering may be satisfactory for very small operations where vacuuming and wet mopping provide sufficient clean up. Larger operations, particularly those processes that are "wet" in nature (e.g., fish, fruit, vegetables, beverages, tofu) require an easily drained, well-sealed concrete or tile floor.
Wall Materials. The kind of wall finish depends on wall location in the plant, the proximity to work counters, sinks, and equipment and the amount of splash and cleaning exposed to the wall. Painted drywall may be suitable in warehouse areas, but it is NOT suitable in fish plants and produce processing operations such as potato or apple processors and other plants where wet clean up is necessary.
In general, wall areas in "wet" operations must be covered with a washable, non-porous, non-corrosive, smooth material that will not deteriorate when it gets wet. Wall areas within three feet of work counters, tables, and equipment must be covered with a similar material. Recommended material includes Stainless steel, fiberglass paneling (called glass board or Chemlite in the trade). Satisfactory material includes Galvanized aluminum and Formica. Vinyl covered fiberboard panels (also called Marlite in the trade), commonly used to panel bathrooms, may be used, but are easily scratched and worn from scouring and cleaning.
Ceiling Materials. The ceiling of a food processing area must be smooth and easily cleanable.
Food should be obtained from sources that comply with applicable state and federal statutes, regulations and local ordinances.
Raw materials and other ingredients shall be inspected and segregated or otherwise handled as necessary to ensure that they are clean and suitable for processing into food.
Food prepared in a private home kitchen may not be used or offered for human consumption.
Provide sufficient lighting in all areas where food is examined, processed, or stored and where equipment or utensils are cleaned. Sufficient lighting must also be provided in hand washing areas, dressing and locker rooms and toilet rooms.
Food-contact surfaces of equipment shall be cleaned as frequently as necessary to protect against contamination of food by performing the following:
Equipment and utensils that must be cleaned and sanitized will require the use of a 3-compartment sink or automatic dishwashing machine. For utensils used in the repackaging area, a 3-compartment sink must be in close proximity to the repackaging room.
There must be a separate room for repackaging food items. In addition to meeting all the regulations for food handling, a warehouse that repackages food items must comply with the following:
Food that can support the rapid growth of undesirable microorganisms, particularly those of public health significance, shall be held in a manner that prevents the food from becoming adulterated. Compliance with this section shall be accomplished by an effective means, including, but not limited to, the following:
Each facility shall provide handwashing facilities that are adequate, readily accessible, and convenient. Compliance with this requirement shall be accomplished by providing the following:
If mops or similar wet floor cleaning tools are used, at least one (1) service sink or one (1) curbed cleaning facility equipped with a floor drain and supplied with hot and cold water under pressure shall be provided and conveniently located.
Food-contact surfaces of equipment shall be cleaned as frequently as necessary to protect against contamination of food by performing the following:
Equipment and utensils that must be cleaned and sanitized will require the use of a 3-compartment sink or automatic dishwashing machine.
During transportation frozen foods shall remain frozen and should be at zero (0) degrees Fahrenheit or below.
During transportation refrigerated foods shall be at forty-one (41) degrees Fahrenheit or below unless law governing their distribution applies, such as temperature requirements for shell eggs.
All incoming loads should be checked for adulteration and proper temperature. Any adulterated food products must be discarded or returned to the supplier.
Before shipping any product, the delivery vehicle should be checked for cleanliness. If the truck is not clean or cannot maintain proper temperature for any refrigerated or frozen food items, another delivery vehicle must be used.
All food products should be kept separate from any chemical, toxic, or non-food items. Chemicals should not be stored on top of food or transported in a manner whereby food products may become contaminated.
Provide adequate ventilation or control equipment to minimize odors and vapors, including steam and noxious fumes, in areas where they may contaminate food. Locate and operate fans and other air blowing equipment in a manner that minimizes the potential for contaminating food, food-packaging materials, and food-contact surfaces.
Clean intake and exhaust air ducts and change filters so they are not a source of contamination by dust, dirt and other materials.
If vented to the outside, ventilation systems must not create a public health hazard or nuisance or unlawful discharge.
Foods sold in packaged form must be labeled in accordance with the requirements of the Wholesale Food Code Title 410 IAC 7-21, including the name and address of the manufacturer, an accurate statement of the net quantity or weight of the contents, the common or usual name of the product, and a list of ingredients in order o predominance by weight (Indiana Labeling Statute, IC 16-42-2).
In addition to listing the above information, the label may need to contain nutritional labeling information as required by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990. This Act requires nutritional labeling for most foods (except meat and poultry) and authorizes the use of nutrient content claims and appropriate FDA approved health claims. Most small manufacturers are exempt from the nutritional labeling regulation.
It is particularly important to label those ingredients that can cause allergic reactions in certain individuals. The following common food allergens may prompt product recalls if not declared as ingredients: peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, soybeans, milk, shellfish and wheat.

Hello, today I am here to discuss the "most awful thing to walk our planet",
the Gays.
What is my opinion on them?
They're humans. They're like us and in my opinion they should be treated as if they were no different. Who they like should not conflict with how you treat them (respect wise, as if you were to treat a gay navy officer the same as a straight navy officer). This debate has been going on in threads like "same-sex marriage", but I think this is more specific on the one homosexuality concept.
I believe we should treat gay's as if nothing were different about them.
Give me your opinion, Facepunch.
(sorry, title mess up, didn't read it. should be "what's wrong with them")
