This is a followup to this previous post.
So I've been converting some more blogs to static html files, and this time around things seemed to be so different, that I made up a new how to. Here are the steps that I've been using to convert blogs using the default Kubric theme.
- Update the permalink structure for the site so that it uses the year, month, day, postname structure.
123UPDATE `database`.`prefix_options` SET `option_value` = '/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/' WHERE `prefix_options`.`option_name` = 'permalink_structure' LIMIT 1 ; - Make sure the blog does not block search engines. If the blog is set to block them, wget can only download the index.html file. And this took me a while to figure out. So, for the sake of search engines, if wget only downloads the index.html file or wget recursive gets only index.html file, then remember to check your robots.txt or similar settings. Either edit in the admin section (under Settings->Privacy) or via SQL.
123UPDATE `database`.`prefix_options` SET `option_value` = '1' WHERE `prefix_options`.`option_name` = 'blog_public' LIMIT 1 ;
- Add the .htaccess file if not already there, where
starts at the URL root, not the absolute file path. So http://sitename.com/path/to/wordpress/blog/ would have the .htaccess file below in the 'blog' directory.
1234567RewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /path/to/wordpress/blog/RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule . /path/to/wordpress/blog/index.php [L] - Get rid of the meta links through the sidebar widget in the admin, or delete the appropriate lines from the theme files (for default Kubric theme edit comments.php, sidebar.php, single.php, footer.php), or see the last step. Delete the code that puts in the search, comments, trackback, rss, and anything in the footer you want out.
- When all is good, run wget to grab the files.
123wget --mirror -P blog-static -nH -np -p -k -E --cut-dirs=5 http://sitename.com/blog/
- Rename the blog directory.
mv blog blog-old
- Rename the static directory to be live.
mv blog-static blog
- Copy the images directory from the old theme to the appropriate static directory.
123cp -r blog-old/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images/ blog/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/
- Alternative to get rid of unwanted links, etc. Use the find command to find all html files, then use perl to delete the lines. Don't forget to escape forward slashes in the search field. Unfortunately, this method requires you to do it for every line of code you want to delete. It's much better to delete the lines out of the theme files. The code below has an unnecessary space in the opening H3 tag so it will render properly.
123find . -name \*.html | xargs perl -ni -e 'print unless /< h3>Leave a Reply< \/h3>/'
Also, if you want to just search and replace instead of remove, this handy find and perl one-liner will find and replace text in all html files.
123find . -name *.html | xargs perl -p -i'' -e "s/search text here/replace text there/"The above would search for all the "search text here" phrases in all html files, and replace it with "replace text here". You can obviously substitute whatever you want in those to places. If you have a '/' (forward slash) character, it will need to be escaped with a '\' (back slash) character. Perl uses the regular regular expression syntax, so look that up if you need help formulating a search and replace structure.

NVIDIA GF104 GPU Fermi ArchitectureBased on the Fermi architecture, NVIDIA's latest GPU is codenamed GF104 and is equipped on the GeForce GTX 460. In this article, Benchmark Reviews explains the technical architecture behind NVIDIA's GF104 graphics processor and offers an insight into upcoming Fermi-based GeForce video cards. For those who are not familiar, NVIDIA's GF100 GPU was their first graphics processor to support DirectX-11 hardware features such as tessellation and DirectCompute, while also adding heavy particle and turbulence effects. The GF100 GPU is also the successor to the GT200 graphics processor, which launched in the GeForce GTX 280 video card back in June 2008. NVIDIA has since redefined their focus, and GF100/GF104 proves a dedication towards next generation gaming effects such as raytracing, order-independent transparency, and fluid simulations. The new GF104 GPU is still more powerful than GT200, and delivers DirectX-11 performance for NVIDIA's mid-range Fermi-based video card family. GF100 was not another incremental GPU step-up like we had going from G80 to GT200. While processor cores have grown from 128 (G80) and 240 (GT200), they reach 512 in the GF100 and earn the title of NVIDIA CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) cores. GF104 features up to 336 CUDA cores. The key here is not only the name, but that the name now implies an emphasis on something more than just graphics. Each Fermi CUDA processor core has a fully pipelined integer arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and floating point unit (FPU). GF104 implements the IEEE 754-2008 floating-point standard, providing the fused multiply-add (FMA) instruction for both single and double precision arithmetic. FMA improves over a multiply-add (MAD) instruction by doing the multiplication and addition with a single final rounding step, with no loss of precision in the addition. FMA minimizes rendering errors in closely overlapping triangles. Based on Fermi's third-generation Streaming Multiprocessor (SM) architecture, GF104 could be mistaken as a divided GF100. NVIDIA GeForce GF100-series Fermi GPUs are based on a scalable array of Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs), Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), and memory controllers. NVIDIA's GF100 GPU implemented four GPCs, sixteen SMs, and six memory controllers. Conversely, GF104 implements two GPCs. eight SMs, and four memory controllers. Where each SM contained 32 CUDA cores in the GF100, NVIDIA now configures the GF104 to deliver 48 cores per SM. As expected, NVIDIA GF100-series products are launching with different configurations of GPCs, SMs, and memory controllers to address different price points. CPU commands are read by the GPU via the Host Interface. The GigaThread Engine fetches the specified data from system memory and copies them to the frame buffer. GF104 implements four 64-bit GDDR5 memory controllers (256-bit total) to facilitate high bandwidth access to the frame buffer. The GigaThread Engine then creates and dispatches thread blocks to various SMs. Individual SMs in turn schedules warps (groups of 48 threads) to CUDA cores and other execution units. The GigaThread Engine also redistributes work to the SMs when work expansion occurs in the graphics pipeline, such as after the tessellation and rasterization stages. GF104 implements 336 CUDA cores, organized as 8 SMs of 48 cores each. Each SM is a highly parallel multiprocessor supporting up to 32 warps at any given time (four Dispatch Units per SM deliver two dispatched instructions per warp for four total instructions per clock per SM). Each CUDA core is a unified processor core that executes vertex, pixel, geometry, and compute kernels. A unified L2 cache architecture (384KB on 768MB version or 512KB on 1GB cards) services load, store, and texture operations. GF104 is designed to offer a total of 32 ROP units (768MB=24 / 1GB=32) for pixel blending, antialiasing, and atomic memory operations. The ROP units are organized in four groups of eight. Each group is serviced by a 64-bit memory controller. The memory controller, L2 cache, and ROP group are closely coupled-scaling one unit automatically scales the others. GF104 Specifications

Excellent idea you had!!!
I bought the Asus Top-460 last Thursday before this article was posted.
I won't have it hand for 2-3 more days.
It would seem your recommendation of the Nvidia-460 and my choice of the Asus Top-460 will be well worth the extra dollars.
Appreciate the assisstance.

0,5 ns = 2 GHz
understood what I meant with my research?
2.4 ghz ---> 5 ghz
##samsung.com/global/system/business/semiconductor/family/2010/5/13/865833graphic_product_guid e_apr_10.pdf
0.28 ns = 3.5 ghz ---> 7 ghz !!! :D
What's with the 'TOP/2DI/1GD5'?
Looking to replace my GTX260 and the 460 is by far looking like the best bet at the moment, not too keen on the design of this heatsink though. Might be a bit better at keeping the GPU itself cool but it'll increase case temps due to the lack of a proper exhaust...
It does annoy me somewhat that the majority of 460's seem to be stuck with this style of heatsink rather then the rear exhaust type. Cannot understand their reasoning behind it, especially with a GPU that runs this cool.
Supposedly, the fully functioning GF104 will be the 475 card due out next month or so. Pictures of the chip that will power the 450 and 440 have been leaked on the web. They're due out in the near future as well.
The New Egg card is clearly a different version. Olin, could you perhaps give us more feedback on the noise from the card? There isn't a ton of info out there, but I read a review yesterday citing atrocious fan noise. You seem to say it's comparatively quiet. That's really good to hear, although I'd love to see some db measurements on the 1 gb card.
I'm going to add a note beside the NewEgg link.
As far as fan noise, there almost wasn't any to speak of. I tested the games in a case with an open side, and could barely hear the fan. With the case closed for temperature tests, I couldn't hear it at all.
How does the revised cost affect your price/performance numbers? If the TOP list price is $277 and not $230, that would alter things a bit wouldn't it? Of course, it's also available from Amazon for $209, so that would only improve the numbers ;-)
The Newegg version is the 1G but not the Tops as you have figured. According to the Asus sight and Otis's tested version the Tops is blue.
The picture on the Newegg site shows a blue version with a non-Tops part number.
It is the 1GD5 version but no factory OC. Has the CU cooler.
Thanks to Otis I can OC it myself. It will be a Tops. So I'm satisfied with my decision.
ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5
ASUS Exclusive DirectCU Thermal Solution with 3 Heat-pipes!
- ASUS Exclusive DirectCU Thermal Solution: Three 8mm flattened copper heat-pipes contact GPU directly and reach up to 20% COOLER than generic GeForce GTX460
- ASUS Exclusive Voltage Tweak Technology for up to 50% performance
So once you get to the limit of it, you can still go higher in frequency, but it'll only means more errors (which you don't see) that reduce the performance you gained via said difference in frequency.
Because I seriously doubt you'll be able to reach 1170mhz and only see that little difference you saw.
Best regards.
it is not the good photo of pcb (photo 108 / 739 on chip)
1.the placement of PCI-Express 6pin connectors is to the top not rear
2. eight modules of GD5 not six
3.vrm have a "cooler"
I've narrowed my choice down to either this card or the MSI GTX 460 1GB Cyclone, but can't tell which has the better OC potential and overall cooling. I want to overclock (stock voltage) as much as possible with keeping fan noise being annoying (say - max 40db under constant full load).
From what I can tell, the MSI Cyclone seems to be the better choice - at least in terms of cooling/noise.
Any thoughts on this (esp. Olin)?
Thanks for the help.
There seem to be very few alternatives and most seem to be the reference design type, which looks almost the same as the 200 series cooler that from my experience wasnt particularly quiet.
EVGA seem to do one with a bigger fan, but even then it only seems to be in 768mb...
HERE: ##newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814261077
I wonder if the additional RAM is worth it? Would you consider a review of this one?
I know that in the past, manufacturers have always made what they thought would sell, knowing that many people are married to the notion that "More Is Better". Oftentimes that's not the case.
I have 8GB of RAM in each of my systems and to change to 16GB would be extremely expensive with little benefit for my usage patterns. (there remains a little man on my shoulder egging me on though)
This next upgrade has to last me as I probably will not come into any significant amounts of cash for a very long time after it's done. (retirement incomes stay the same regardless of inflation)
The AMD Hex-Core black combined with these will do the trick.
Thanks again =) Sorry for bad english =)
ATI just released some cards too, (6850 and 6870) but I don't like that they can't do CUDA and Phys-X,......and for me that's not good enough. Otherwise they *do* perform well.
In reality, either card will meet my needs but while I wait for delivery, it's nice to have something to obsess about. ;)

Mar 17, 2008 at 9:36 am #1227862
I've been to Isle Royale in the past, and I still haven't found a reliable trail guide. Has anyone hiked the Greenstone/Minong trail on Isle Royale? I'm looking for some feedback…
Mar 17, 2008 at 11:36 am #1424648http://www.irnha.org/the.store?cart_id=9776913.18965&page=/catalog/IRNHAproducts.html#map
Scroll down a little. They have a map and chart section.
Mar 17, 2008 at 11:39 am #1424650While I haven't hike Isle Royal yet (this summer!) I have done a great deal of research about the park. I found the following guidebook to be very helpful.
Isle Royal National Park: Foot Trails and Water Routes
by Jim DuFresne.In addition to the guidebook I found that having a good topo map (mine is from REI) helps a great deal with the planning.
I have been told by several people that the Greenstone Ridge is very easy. I am planning on hiking the Greenstone, Minong, and Feidtmann trails in 5 days. The guidebook I have suggests it would take 11-12 days. I figure with all the loops possible I'll just cut the trip short if I'm not feeling up to it by not doing the Feidtmann Ridge trail.
I hope this was helpful.
By the way, what time of year where you thinking of backpacking the island?
Mar 17, 2008 at 11:40 am #1424651Chad, thanks for the response. I'm planning on going some time Mid-Aug. U?
I'm surprised you found that guide book to be helpful. To each his own, I guess.
Mar 17, 2008 at 12:14 pm #1424655I'm planning on heading at the end of August.
I don't know why the guidebook wouldn't' be helpful. It has every hiking trail and campsite on the island. Each section of trail has a well written description of the trail with distances between campsites. Shure the suggested days are short (8-12 miles) but it's not very hard to do the math.
The book also talks in detail about getting to the island, history, weather, bugs, animals, fish, and water sources.
Mar 17, 2008 at 5:28 pm #1424686I have hiked a route on Isle Royale several times that is similar to what Chad describes. I hiked out of Rock Harbor to daisy farm, then headed north across the island to Mcargoe cove. From there I picked up the minong to windigo, and hiked back via the greenstone ridge. This hike is tougher than it looks on a map, as there is quite a bit of elevation change, and the terrain is rocky. In late summer the mosquitos and/or blackflies can be horrible. Also, the minong ridge is very dry, so make sure to fill up on water before covering the longer sections. The lean-to shelters at the more popular campgrounds are well cared for and very nice. The only problem I have had is people coming in on boats and staying there (they're not supposed to, but apparently the rangers don't care). Let me know if you have any specific questions about planning your trip, it sounds like a lot of fun.
Mar 17, 2008 at 7:33 pm #1424699Check out this website: http://www.isleroyale.info/trips/ and read thru some of the trip reports.
The site doesn't seem to be maintained anymore (and no one can see to contact the gentleman who ran it), so another site was setup with good forum participation: http://www.isleroyaleforums.com
Lots of friendly people there who are willing to answer questions. The trip reports can be a wealth of information about trails and campsites. Enjoy your trip! Be warned though, many who visit will keep returning year after year after …
Mar 18, 2008 at 9:05 am #1424755I the end of August is a bad time for the bugs when is a good time?
Mar 18, 2008 at 9:19 am #1424756As I recall from a couple of trips, mid or late August is a great time to go: warm days, cool nights, virtually no bugs, and the crowds are tapering off. Of course, where you're planning to go, crowds are never an issue anyhow.
I agree with what everyone else has said. I've never hiked the Greenstone down toward Windigo; I have done most of the trails on the "developed" end of the park. It seems strange, but the 6 or 8 miles per day recommendation is really pretty accurate. It's not hard walking, but it's very rocky and, for some reason, really eats up the time.
This is still about my favorite place to go.
Mar 18, 2008 at 10:27 am #1424762Chad,
My wife and I were there Aug 7-14 last year and had no problems w/ bugs. On the Minong for the most part you have to get water near the campsites and a few of those are a sharp descent from the main trail. Also, the Park is so gorgeous
that you may want to slow down to smell the roses and eat the
berries. As a rite of passage most of the rangers do the Greenstone in one day and last year two brothers ran it. We
will be back there in the future.Mar 18, 2008 at 7:36 pm #1424817Matt –
Join the Isle Royale forums. You'll get tons of info there. You can also read my trip report from my trip to the island on my Web site if you'd like.
http://samh.net/backpacking/?do=showproduct&id=113Mar 19, 2008 at 6:47 am #1424846Sam I liked this part of your trip report: "ended up being the worst mosquitoes any of us had ever seen. "
My exact thoughts from my 2003 ISRO trip, which ended up being a mosquito feed-a-thon to rival the deepest of cambodian jungles. I think the bug season varies from year to year. Maybe because the weather on the island is constantly changing…who knows.
Mar 19, 2008 at 9:29 am #1424866Thanks guys. Two years ago, we went Mid-August and I didn't have any problems with bugs. But knock on wood, I guess…
Mar 19, 2008 at 1:43 pm #1424917This is defiantly going to be a trip to remember! I suppose as the trip approaches I'll get better information on how bad the bugs are.
Oh I forgot to mention I had a typo in my previous hiking plans. I would do the Greenstone Ridge and then the Feldtmann Ridge and then finally the Minong Ridge. If I'm short on time I'll drop the Minong Ridge for another trip.
Mar 19, 2008 at 3:53 pm #1424933Chad –
Most of the time the bugs aren't really that bad. There are just a couple weeks during the heat of summer when they can really come out… and that just happens to be when I take trips there. I recommend you do NOT leave out the minong ridge. IMO it is the best section of trail on the island. There is a nice cooling breeze in the campgrounds on the north end, and the views across to canada from the bluffs are amazing. It also seems to be one of the least used trails on the island, so you get an awesome feeling of isolation. I would also make sure to take in the feldman(sp?) loop, which is your best bet for seeing wolf and moose activity.Mar 20, 2008 at 8:24 am #1424992In terms of bugs, yes it is variant on a few factors. We were there during the first week of June (and being Minnesota boys knew that was like playing with fire). August will be just fine unless there's un-seasonably favorable weather conditions for a hatch.
When I go back to the Island I plan to explore the Minong and Feldtmann trails. The Greenstone was pretty and a really nice trail but it lacked in excitement and vistas.
One thing to point out is that on the Island there are wooden shelters (with bug screens) at many of the campsites. One could do an especially ultralight trip without having to carry a shelter with a little planning. Something to think about.
Mar 20, 2008 at 8:31 am #1424993With all this nice information I think I'll just do the Minong and Feldtmann Ridges instead of the Greenstone Ridge.
Mar 20, 2008 at 5:17 pm #1425038Good Choice

'A pretty big swing moment': Breaking down a game-changing overturn of a blown call |
10.24.13 at 2:55 am ET |
Off the bat, it seemed like it might be two outs. Then it was ruled one out. And then overruled to be no outs.
The biggest swing moment of Game 1 of the World Series undoubtedly took place in the bottom of the first inning. With runners on first and second, David Ortiz got jammed on a 92 mph cutter and rolled it to second baseman Matt Carpenter. Carpenter struggled for an instance to get a grip on the ball before he flipped it to shortstop Pete Kozma. While the feed was true, the ball ended up on the ground.
Kozma knew what had happened.
"I just missed it," the shortstop rued. "Carpenter made a good feed and I just didn't get my glove on it."
But second base umpire Dana DeMuth ruled that Kozma had lost the handle on the ball only after securing the ball for a force out. The Sox, however, felt confident that Kozma had closed his glove too soon, with the ball never making it inside and instead kicking off the tip of the glove.
Dustin Pedroia, who had been ruled out at second, lodged the first protest.
"I just slid in there and I thought [the drop] wasn't on the transfer," Pedroia said. "I saw what everyone else did. I said, 'He dropped it.' He said, 'No, it was on the transfer.' I just said, 'OK.' It's not my job to argue."
It is, however, the job of manager John Farrell to do just that. And so, he jogged from the Red Sox dugout to talk to DeMuth and to ask him to confer with his peers.
"I thought from the dugout view it was pretty clear that that ball just tipped off the fingertips of his glove," Farrell said. "I think we're fully accepting of the neighborhood play, but my view is that it wasn't even that. There was really no entry into the glove with the ball."
DeMuth was open-minded about doing just that. He acknowledged that his vision was focused not on the ball in the glove but rather in making sure that Kozma's foot stayed on second base for the force out. Thus, he didn't have a good read on whether the Cardinals shortstop actually caught the ball.
"It was my call. I stayed with the foot too long is how I ended up getting in trouble. When I was coming up, all I could see was a hand coming out and a ball on the ground," said DeMuth. "I was focused on the bag and used my peripheral vision to see the ball go in heel or hit the glove. When the ball hit the glove, then in my peripheral vision, I'm looking up and the ball was down. … I was saying that he was in the exchange and he was out right there. Then with our crew signals, I had crewmates that were giving me the signal that they were 100 percent sure … that they had it and I had the wrong call."
"He looks up," explained crew chief and home plate ump John Hirschbeck, "and he knows by having several umpires standing around him that we want to — there's something there. We want to get it right."
The group convened for a brief discussion.
"We started with each guy, 'What do you have? A hundred percent?' Each guy said, 'I'm a hundred percent.' When they got to me, I said, 'I'm a hundred percent, too,' " said Hirschbeck. "As a crew we want to get everything right. We want to be perfect in our job. Whatever base we are on, wherever we're working, something that doesn't happen, but the ultimate thing is we want to get the play right."
The conversation was a disconcerting one for DeMuth to hear. But he recognized it was an important one.
"It's an awful feeling, especially when I'm sure that I had the right call," said DeMuth. "But I've got to be a team here and get the right call. Definitely get the right call. When I see that — it's an awful feeling."
Yet it was the right call. And so, as mortified as DeMuth felt, it was Cardinals manager Mike Matheny who likely felt an even stronger response when the call was reversed, and Pedroia — who had retreated to the Sox dugout — was sent back to second base.
"That's not a play I've ever seen before. And I'm pretty sure there were six umpires on the field that had never seen that play before, either. It's a pretty tough time to debut that overruled call in the World Series," said Matheny. "Now, I get that trying to get the right call, I get that. [But] tough one to swallow."
The impact was considerable. While the Cardinals hadn't been able to turn two to get out of the first inning, the out at second would have given them runners on the corners with two outs in a scoreless tie. Instead, St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright was left to face Mike Napoli without benefit of a safety net — bases loaded, one out, trying to make the perfect pitch but unable to try to expand the strike zone too aggressively for fear of walking in a run.
Wainwright fell behind, 2-0, and had no choice but to attack the strike zone with a fastball in a fastball count. Napoli was ready and clubbed it to left-center for a bases-clearing, three-run double that gave the Sox a 3-0 lead from which they would never look back. As has been the case throughout the postseason, the Red Sox recognized the cracking of a door of opportunity in the form of the error and came crashing through it.
"It is a pretty big swing moment, even though you're not fully expecting something like that in the first inning," noted Farrell. "Instead of it being a two'out situation with runners on first and third, we're in a bases'loaded situation, where there's not a whole lot of margin for error in terms of the strike zone, and the ability to possibly have Wainwright expand the zone on Napoli. Fortunately he gets into a 2'0 count and the three'run double, it is a big moment. And we're able to capitalize on the mistake. And I think we've seen that when you give a team extra outs, as good as the teams you're going to play this late in the season, it can come back to haunt you."

Torn or Detached Nail
Skip to the navigationTopic Overview
What causes a detached nail?
It can be very painful to tear or rip your nail from the nail bed. A nail may separate from the nail bed (detach) for many reasons, including:
- Injuries.
- Separation caused by injury is common in people who have long fingernails. The nail may pry away from the nail bed when it is hit or jammed.
- Severe or repetitive toe stubbing may cause a toenail to detach. This is also common in athletes who wear shoes that aren't roomy enough.
- Fungal nail infection, which occurs when fungi invade a fingernail or toenail and the skin underneath the nail (nail bed). Toenails are more commonly affected than fingernails, and symptoms include cracked, yellow, discolored, streaked, thickened, or spotted nails.
- Skin conditions, such as psoriasis.
- Chemicals, such as acetone nail polish removers or some soaps.
- Medicines, such as chemotherapy or antimalarial medicines.
- Severe illnesses.
After a nail separates from the nail bed for whatever reason, it will not reattach. A new nail will have to grow back in its place. Nails grow back slowly. It takes about 6 months for a fingernail and up to 18 months for a toenail to grow back.
How is it treated?
Home treatment often helps relieve pain, promote healing, and prevent infection. Treatment may involve removing the nail, keeping the area dry to prevent infection, and waiting for a new nail to grow. The infection or skin condition that caused the separated nail will also need to be treated.
- File any sharp edges smooth, or trim the nail. This will help prevent catching the nail and tearing it more.
- Trim
off the detached part of a large tear, or leave the nail alone.
- Cover the nail with tape or an adhesive bandage until the nail has grown out enough to protect the finger or toe.
- If you trim off the detached nail, you will have less worry about the nail catching and tearing.
- If you leave the detached nail in place, it will eventually fall off when the new nail grows in.
- Use scissors to remove the detached part of the nail if the nail is partly attached.
- Soak your finger or toe in cold water for 20 minutes after trimming the nail.
- Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline, and cover the area with a nonstick bandage.
To prevent infection:
- Soak your foot or hand in a solution of 1 tsp (5 g) of salt dissolved in 4 cups (1 L) warm water for 20 minutes, 2 or 3 times each day, for the next 3 days. Reapply petroleum jelly, and cover with a fresh adhesive bandage.
- Keep the nail bed dry, clean, and covered with petroleum jelly and an adhesive bandage until the nail bed is firm or the nail has grown back. Apply a new adhesive bandage whenever the bandage gets wet.
- Watch for signs of infection such as increasing heat, redness, pain, tenderness, swelling, or pus.
- Remove an artificial nail if it separates from the nail bed. If you leave it on, the long, artificial nail can tear the nail bed.
Have a doctor trim your nail if you:
- Aren't comfortable trimming the nail yourself.
- Have diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, or an immune system problem. These problems may cause reduced blood flow and loss of feeling in the feet. Untreated nail injuries can lead to infection, foot ulcers, and other serious problems.

Johnson & Strachan Speaker Series Renamed Brown & Brown
The Johnson & Strachan Distinguished Speaker Series has recently been renamed the Brown & Brown Distinguished Speaker Series to reflect the acquisition of the sponsoring company, Johnson & Strachan, by Brown & Brown Insurance. Established in 2009, the speaker series has brought a diverse group of guest speakers, ranging from corporate leaders to government officials, to Mason's campus.
This community-based, academic initiative aims to enrich the educational experience of the School of Business' students, faculty, and alumni while building and strengthening relationships with the region's business community. Though the series name has changed, the driving force of this initiative continues to be alumnus, Jeff Johnson '75.
Johnson, who received his BS in business administration from the George Mason, was approached with the idea for the speaker series in the fall of 2008. He had been very active as an alumnus, having served as a board member, vice-president, and president of the George Mason University Alumni Association. At the time, Johnson was principal and president of Johnson & Strachan Insurance. "I thought it was an excellent idea and presented it to my partners," Johnson reminisces. "We thought it was a worthwhile initiative so we agreed to a 3 year sponsorship."
The series proved to be very successful and was well received by Mason students and the local business community. As a result, Johnson and his business partners, Bill Strachan, Rick Dygve, and Charlie Venus, decided to extend the sponsorship. "We have been very pleased with the success of these events. We have had great audiences and positive feedback," says Johnson. "Thanks to this series, Mason students get the chance to interact with the local business community and the event's featured speaker."
Past speakers have included Steve Case, Newt Gingrich, and George Will.
"By establishing the speakers series," says Alison O'Brien, associate dean for undergraduate program at the School of Business, "Jeff is essentially contributing to the intellectual capacity of the region and to our efforts to enhance the reputation of the school and the university."
Johnson, who has since retired, secured the future of the speaker series with Brown & Brown's support. He looks forward to continuing to support the series and its mission and continues to play an active role within the School of Business and the university by serving on the Dean's Advisory Council and as the Treasurer on the George Mason University Foundation Board of Trustees.
"I'm a big believer that you need to give back. I can attribute a lot of my success to my education at George Mason," he says.
The next Brown & Brown Distinguished Speaker Series event will take place on June 6 and feature Fortune 200 CFO Gary Perlin of Capital One Bank.

Chinese needs bring Infiniti a roomier sedan
NEW YORK -- Infiniti's U.S. dealers can thank their Chinese counterparts for the new stretched-backseat version of the Q70 sedan the automaker introduced here today.
The long-wheelbase sedan, formerly marketed by Infiniti as the M, was developed to tap a beckoning Chinese market for chauffeur-driven premium cars, says Michael Bartsch, vice president for Infiniti Americas.
"It made sense to build it because of the demand in China as a limousine," Bartsch said shortly after unveiling the car at the New York auto show. "But the nice part of that is that China gives it the critical mass it needs to become a proposition for this market."
But not necessarily as an American chauffeur car, Bartsch says.
Infiniti intends to market it instead as a luxury sedan that simply offers a roomier back seat -- a premium sedan with the roominess of an SUV, he said.
Infiniti's North American team looked into the potential of the limo business, but concluded that the chauffeur and livery market was simply too small to bother with -- even though limo stalwart Ford Motor Co. has ceased building the popular Lincoln Town Car.
The new version comes as part of an update for the 2015 Q70 that gives the sedan a restyled front and rear, and a complete conversion to LED front lighting for headlights, fog lamps and turn signals.
The extended L version, which will go on sale this fall, adds six inches to the wheelbase, all of it captured for rear-seat space.
"When we originally came to this, we thought that if we could get 10 percent of our Q70 sales in the long wheelbase we would be doing well. But I now think it's probably going to jump to about 20 percent," Bartsch said. "We're going to price-position it very competitively."

The Battle Of Lake Erie
"With half the western world at stake, See Perry on the middle lake." —Nineteenth-century ballad
February 1976 | Volume 27, Issue 2
Yet Perry was under constant pressure to go out and fight. The Secretary of the Navy, ignorant of the situation on Lake Erie, wrote Perry demanding that he cooperate with General William Henry Harrison. After Hull had been annihilated at Detroit, Harrison raised a force that was known by the somewhat pathetic name of "the second Northwestern Army." Now Harrison had his troops in northern Ohio, facing the army of British General Henry Procter. Neither general could move without being assured of friendly control on Lake Erie; so in order to cooperate with Harrison, Perry had to secure the lake for the Americans. There was nothing that Perry wished to do more, but neither Harrison nor the Navy Department knew that he was for the moment powerless to move. The Department had been sending men to Chauncey right along. These men were designated for service on Lake Erie as well as Lake Ontario, the Department's optimistic theory being that Chauncey would wisely select the number of men needed by Perry and then dispatch them to Presque Isle. Chauncey, on the other hand, felt that he needed the men on Lake Ontario and kept them there.
Perry, by now frantic, wrote strong letters to Chauncey. He sent Dobbins out to try to drum up recruits and promised ten dollars a month to anybody who would serve for four months or until a decisive battle was fought. His recruiting drew a meager response; not more than sixty men volunteered. Then in mid-July he received an urgent order from the Navy Department and a letter from Harrison, both demanding that he sail. And on the same day the topsails of a British fleet poked up over the horizon off Presque Isle.
In an ecstasy of frustration Perry wrote a strained, grandiloquent letter to Chauncey: The enemy's fleet of six sail are now off the bar of this harbour. What a golden opportunity if we had men. … I am constantly looking to the eastward; every mail and every traveller from that quarter is looked to as the harbinger of the glad tidings of our men being on their way. … Give me men, sir, and I will acquire both for you and myself honour and glory on this lake, or perish in the attempt. … Think of my situation; the enemy in sight, the vessels under my command more than sufficient, and ready to make sail, and yet obliged to bite my fingers with vexation for want of men.
Perry did not worry about the British sailing in and sinking his ships; the sandbar would prevent that. But on any dark night they might land a force in boats and attack the garrison and burn his flotilla. He had some rudimentary fortifications, but they were weak and manned by a ludicrous regiment of Pennsylvania militia who, apparently afraid of the dark, would not stand watch at night. When Perry questioned their captain about this peculiar shortcoming, he received the reasonable reply "I told the boys to go, Captain, but the boys won't go."
Three days after his last letter Perry wrote Chauncey another: "For God's sake and yours, and mine, send me men and officers, and I will have them all in a day or two." But no men came, and the British fleet rode easily in the calm weather, always in view, mocking Perry's impotence.
It might have given Perry some scant solace to know that the commander of the British fleet was harassed by exactly the same difficulties that were dogging him. Robert Heriot Barclay was the sort of officer who made possible Britain's long maritime supremacy. The same age as Perry, he had spent more than half his life at sea. He had lost an arm serving with Nelson at Trafalgar, and after the great three-deckers he was used to, the scrabbly little collection of craft on Lake Erie must have seemed very modest to him. Still it represented a command, although one officer had already refused it on the grounds that the squadron was undermanned and in poor shape. Barclay reached his fleet at Amherstburg, where the Detroit River spills into the western end of Lake Erie, in the spring of 1813 and immediately went to work with the same energy Perry had shown. His first request was for men, but Yeo, who was cut from the same cloth as Chauncey, wanted to keep his sailors on Lake Ontario. Barclay complained that virtually every man Yeo did send his way was "a poor devil not worth his salt." Nevertheless Barclay managed to win the loyalty of such men as he had and worked them into an effective fighting force. It was obvious that he was in better shape than Perry when he brought his fleet out to blockade Presque Isle.
At last Chauncey doled out a few men, though they were not much to Perry's liking. "The men that came … ," Perry complained, "are a motley set, blacks, soldiers, and boys. …" Chauncey sent him an exasperated reply, saying: "I regret that you are not pleased with the men sent you … for, to my knowledge, a part of them are not surpassed by any seamen we have in the fleet; and I have yet to learn that the color of the skin, or the cut and trimmings of the coat, can affect a man's qualifications or usefulness." As it turned out, perhaps a quarter of Perry's crew were blacks, and they fought superbly when the time came.

The Quit-Lag Phenomenon
I did not begin by aiming for a business career. I did not have any plan at all. But I went to conservatory to become an opera singer, because I liked to sing. And like all singers, I waited tables and worked in offices to pay the rent. And a funny thing about the business world is if you can follow directions and show any brain activity at all, you have a decent chance to learn something and eventually to be promoted.
So, for a very long time, I was a combination HR (human resources) person/opera singer. And during that period a friend put me in touch with a job opportunity for a much more exciting job than the one I had. I had never interviewed for a job before while working someplace else. I felt excited and disloyal at the same time. I made it through the whole process and got a job offer at the new place—hurrah! Then came the hard part. I had to tell my boss, the vice-president of operations who had helped me in so many ways, that I was leaving.
When I got the new job offer, I walked slowly down the hallway to John's office. "Nancy," I asked his assistant casually, "is John in the office today?" "Nope," she said, "he's out of the country. Left yesterday, back in a week."
Anxiously Awaiting
Oh no! Back in those days, e-mail did not exist. I didn't want to give notice over the phone. I called my new boss: Could I have an extra week to give notice since my boss was unreachable? No problem. So I sat back on my heels, waiting in anxiety for my opportunity to give notice.
When I went back to my desk, the piled-up papers looked like annoying debris. Now that I was leaving, my projects-in-process were meaningless to me. But I had two weeks to kill, so I went to work. I started creating a manual for the person who came after me. I wrote down procedures and lists of contacts and important events coming up in the future. That took about three days. Then I got to work cleaning house.
I threw out papers and cleaned out files. I reorganized employee records and made sure vendor contracts were current. I walked around the office and visited employees who had pending benefits issues or other matters that needed attention. Boy! they said. You are really on the ball this week! Heh, heh, I said to myself. What else do I have to work on?
Lame Duck Period
During the two weeks I had to wait for John to return, I stopped doing my job. Or maybe a better way to put it is my job stopped undoing me. Every big project went untouched. I dealt with immediate and pressing issues only, but I was more effective than I'd ever been before. I actually listened to the employees who had problems. I focused on a very small number of things and saw them through. When I stopped worrying about work, my work improved dramatically.
During that quit-lag period, I learned a lot. I went to meetings and political slights didn't bother me. In the past, HR and accounting were often at odds. "The commission reports had mistakes in them," said one unpleasant lady. "Thanks so much for letting me know," I said kindly. "I really appreciate your help." Political squabbles melted away. What did these small things matter to me? I was leaving.
I had no job stress during that period. Everyone was my friend. I remember thinking, "This is the greatest thing ever! How can I make my every week on the job, every job, this fun and rewarding?"
The Undoable Task
The quit-lag interim had a huge learning benefit for me. By the time John got back to town, I was a different person. I was calm. I could see issues clearly, without the extra shades of "it's your fault, not mine" and "don't criticize me" and "can't you see I'm overworked?" John and I had a great chat. I told him about my transition materials. He was grateful. You can't imagine an easier time giving notice.
But the biggest lesson for me was this: When I went through my stacks and memos and project schedules, I had to face the reality that in my "really important, need to get to before long" pile I had six months of work. When was that six months, in reality, going to arrive?
Never. It was very obvious, once I knew that the "got to get to this stuff" stack was in fact never going to be addressed, at least not by me, not on that job. I had been burdening myself mentally and emotionally with an undoable task, with six months of work on my shoulders that could never be caught up with, not in real life. I was running my legs off just to stay in place. I was setting myself up to fail.
Another thing I realized during my time off-work (I was working, but doing none of the things I'd viewed as my highest priorities) was that lame-duck employees can be incredibly productive. Since then, as a manager, I've tried to remember this and, instead of writing off employees of mine once they gave notice, re-engaging them to accomplish the kinds of important things that only an employee on the way out can accomplish.
Happily Ever After
In the years since then I've gotten better at that. I still bite off more than I can chew. But the quit-lag phenomenon taught me the value of every moment, of taking care of things now instead of putting them off for later, of valuing relationships over political wins and losses. The six months of work in the "got to get to it" pile never got done, and no one really suffered. I went off to a new job and had a great time.
Once I saw how much I had committed myself to what was never going to get finished, I began to take my commitments more seriously. And I saw the value of not working every once in a while—not pushing the rock another inch up the hill—just taking time to clean out space, in the files and in my head.
There was another bonus to my job change. My relationship with my favorite national accounts coordinator changed once we weren't working in the same company anymore. This year, we celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary and send our youngest (of five) off to kindergarten. What would happen if you stopped working, just for a day or two, to sort things out?

WASHINGTON - John Hagee, a televangelist who endorsed John McCain, apologized to Catholics yesterday for his criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and for having "emphasized the darkest chapters in the history of Catholic and Protestant relations with the Jews."
Mr. Hagee's support for Mr. McCain has drawn cries of outrage from some Catholic leaders, who have called on the likely Republican nominee to reject Mr. Hagee's endorsement.
Mr. McCain has said he does not agree with some of Mr. Hagee's past comments, but did not reject his support.
In a letter to William Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights, Mr. Hagee wrote:
"Out of a desire to advance a greater unity among Catholics and evangelicals in promoting the common good, I want to express my deep regret for any comments that Catholics have found hurtful."
Mr. Donohue, one of Mr. Hagee's sharpest critics, said he accepted the apology and planned to meet with Mr. Hagee tomorrow in New York.
"I got what I wanted," Mr. Donohue said in an interview. "He's seen the light, as they like to say. So for me it's over."
The controversy had threatened to pursue Mr. McCain throughout the campaign, potentially hurting his standing with Catholic voters.
A narrow majority of Roman Catholics voted for President Bush in 2004.

With all the news about Anonymous, LulzSec, Anti-Sec, and so on, you'd almost forget there are more ethical hacking groups out there as well. One such group, YGN Ethical Hacker Group, informed Apple of several weaknesses in its developers website on April 25. Apple acknowledged the flaws, but so far, hasn't done anything about them. YGN Ethical Hacker Group has now stated they will fully disclose the vulnerabilities if Apple doesn't fix them in the coming few days.

Do you then run an ad in the national newspaper effectively telling all the crooks who they can burgle and how to do it?
...to inform the public that their money is not safe, so they can transfer it somewhere else, somewhere safe. If my bank has unsafe locks and were unwilling to do something about it, I'd rather know about it so I can secure my money.

My personal irritant is that I am misrepresented in R' Alfassa's essay as well. He writes:
While the custom is said to be mentioned in the writings of Avraham Yehoshua Heshel (the "Apter Rav" 1748-1825) and in the Ta'amei ha-Minhagim (1891), there is no one clear source for shlissel challah. And while people will say there is a passuq attributed to it, there is not. And, even if there were, a passuq that can be linked to the practice is not the same as a source. Micha Berger, founder of the AishDas Society, [orthodox] calls this type of logic 'reverse engineering,' it's like drawing a circle around an arrow in a tree, and subsequently declaring the arrow is a bullseye.[18]
[18] See. aishdas.org/avodah/vol25/v25n384.shtml & aishdas.org/avodah/vol28/v28n067.shtml#03
He is assuming no one will bother chasing these down. The first begins: "Taamei hamitzvos are lessons drawn from halakhah — very
much after the arrow is shot. One doesn't darshen halakhah from the
taam." Does that sound like reverse engineering is a criticism of the practice?
And in the second, I dreamed up a pragmatic reason for putting keys in the challah. There was no sourdough, so they used barm (a biproduct of making bear) which would be too reactive without putting in some metal to kill off some of the yeast. Keys were an easy source of metal. I write there, "Just made it up — I'm not saying it's emes, just plausible." But I do there say, "Then, once people did it, they reverse-engineered kavanos [religious intent] for the practice."
But again, why is he taking this as a criticism? For that matter, there is a shlisl challah cooling in my kitchen right now. (Not that I'm into this kind of thing, and it's not my minhag, but I don't object to my wife wanting to do it.)
I do have a concern with schlissl challah and segulos in general, that people who overdo it turn Judaism into a means of pulling heavenly strings to get what you want, rather than a means of doing what the Creator made us for. But I have the same concern with dipping an apple in honey. Remember that all this is supposed to remind us to turn to Hashem in tefillah and to make that tangible. Not to replace it.

The easiest way to share a filter with your team is to add it to the repository.
SQL Compare can read project filters and write them to your documents folder, but it can't write them to the project folder itself.

As quickly became evident following the news of singer Whitney Houston's sudden death on Saturday (Feb. 11), friends and colleagues from the musical community are stunned.
This included fellow pop diva Mariah Carey, who shared her feelings with fans via Twitter, "Heartbroken and in tears over the shocking death of my friend, the incomparable Ms. Whitney Houston.
"She will never be forgotten as one of the greatest voices to ever grace the earth."
Carey also changed her Twitter avatar to a 1999 picture of her and Houston embracing.
Positioned as rivals, the two singers teamed up in 1998 to record the song "When You Believe" for the animated film "The Prince of Egypt" soundtrack.

A Rock Hill man arrested last weekend for a series of armed robberies at local pharmacies can add one more charge to his list of offenses – attempted escape.
Ronald Carl Sims, 28, led Rock Hill police officers on a brief foot chase Sunday afternoon after running from the emergency room of Piedmont Medical Center, said Rock Hill Police Lt. Brad Redfearn.
HEATH SPRINGS – Don't tell Patrick Helms that Thanksgiving is still 37 days away.
Helms, fire chief at Heath Springs Volunteer Fire Department, will argue that point. And after opening the doors at the new fire station on Sunday afternoon, there may be some validity to Helms' claim that Thanksgiving came early for the residents of the county's smallest municipality.
"This belongs to the town. It's not ours; it belongs to the people," Helms said.
As next year's national election inches ever closer, state and county officials have begun debating who should pay for South Carolina's Republican Presidential primary.
That debate hit home recently as Lancaster County Council considered showing support for several counties who are preparing to file a lawsuit against the state's Election Commission.
The issue first took shape in Spartanburg County, where county officials have vowed not to hold presidential primaries until primary costs were fully covered by the state.
Chris Nunnery is leaving the Lancaster Fire Department to take on a new role as the county's 911 director.
Nunnery was offered the position last week. His last day with the city of Lancaster is Oct. 31 and he begins his new job Nov. 16.
"I am honored to be even considered and offered the position," Nunnery said Monday. "This is a huge, huge undertaking."
He will lead the effort to consolidate the two in-county 911 centers into one building.
A suspected arsonist was placed behind bars last weekend after an investigation into fires at two abandoned Kershaw homes.
Chad Kent Todd, 20, 4800 Goldmine Highway, Kershaw, was arrested Friday and charged with two counts of arson for willfully and maliciously setting fire to two vacant houses in the Kershaw area, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office press release.
The investigation into Todd's involvement with the fires developed as deputies were investigating another crime.
Jesef Williams email@example.com Authorities continue to probe a shooting that sent a man to the hospital Tuesday evening. Officers with the Lancaster Police Department were dispatched to the 300 block of Willow Oak Circle shortly after 6:15 p.m. after multiple calls of gunshots fired in the area. An officer arrived to find a 37-year-old man in a wooded area along Willow Oak Circle.
One person was killed in a traffic accident on U.S. 521 North on Monday afternoon. Check back later for details.

The Lancaster County Board of Zoning Appeals overturned a county decision to revoke an Indian Land concrete plant's right to operate in a local light industrial park.
The ruling, made during a BZA hearing Tuesday night on the nonconforming use status of Thomas Concrete of Carolina LLC, disappointed residents of nearby neighborhoods who have battled the plant, and others like it, for years.

Attention shoppers.
If you have any expired coupons, they can still be used by military families overseas.
The Lancaster County Veterans Affairs Office has been collecting coupons since early September that are benefiting families stationed at a U.S. Army base in Vicennial, Italy. The staff's effort is part of the national Overseas Coupon Program, in which groups can "adopt" military bases abroad.
A local radio station that has provided weather information and other updates is now a thing of the past.
City Council voted 6-1 at its meeting Tuesday to eliminate the traveler's information station that aired in Lancaster on AM radio.
The station, at 1620 AM, was launched in 2004 and provided updates on traffic and road conditions, as well as weather updates and various tidbits.

Awesome Etsy find: Personalized poster designs by Moulage Collection
August 23, 2012 · Posted under awesome Etsy finds, chalkboard
Every now and then I stumble across something on Etsy that's so precious that it becomes an instant favorite – like these personalized poster designs by Moulage Collection. I just could not wait to share these with you! They're just unbelievably charming, especially for a birthday photoshoot:
Seriously. Doesn't this just melt your heart?!
Although the posters look like they're chalk on chalkboard, they're actually made using permanent metallic ink on black foam core. That means that the sign is lightweight enough for a one-year-old to hold easily, if they're to be used in a photo.
Each sign is designed and hand-drawn from scratch! Elizabeth of Moulage Collection will personalize the signs with facts about your child, such as your child's favorite things, and they even take requests for illustrations.
Check out Moulage Collection to see Elizabeth's full selection of posters!
We Love Your Comments!

I was wondering exactly how long it usually takes to get one of these made :)- 1.1Tuesday, November 13th, 2012 at 1:55 pm
Hi Ashley! Thanks for checking us out! The shop that makes these beautiful personalized posters is Moulage Collection (http://www.etsy.com/shop/MoulageCollection). I went to their page and she stated the following on shipping at this time:
"All of my items are handcrafted to order. My schedule often books far in advance. Currently, the earliest possible delivery date is JANUARY 10. This means that if you have an event on January 10th, you'll get this item in time."
However, it is possible to expedite shipping for an extra fee.
Thank you!- 1.1.1Wednesday, July 10th, 2013 at 7:41 pm

Beware, if you plan to order a birthday poster like the one above, I ordered a birthday poster like the above from the etsy site, moulage collection. The seller now carves out a big corner of the poster for her logo, which sticks out like a sore thumb. The photos on her etsy site do not indicate the change. I asked the seller remake the poster, since what I got is not representative of the photos in her listing. She refused, saying the logo was discreet and did not take away from the product. I can tell you, it is anything but discreet. It is a logo that sticks out because it does not match the style of the chalkboard and the words in that corner were offcenter to make room for the logo. It also now looks commercially done, not like a cutesy chalkboard. It is rare that an Etsy seller does not have good customer care. Again, just wanted to warn anyone looking for birthday prop ideas. - 3Tuesday, August 13th, 2013 at 4:38 pm
I was wondering how much these boards cost and how long it would take to ship? - 4Monday, September 9th, 2013 at 3:32 pm

No. 1 Wake Forest Defeats Appalachian State 1-0
Sept. 24, 2008 WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Freshman Luke Norman's goal in the 23rd minute lifted No. 1 Wake Forest (7-0-0, 1-0-0 ACC) to a 1-0 victory over Appalachian State (5-2-0, 0-0-0 Southern Conference) on a chilly Wednesday night at Spry Stadium. "I'm happy we got the result we were looking for," head coach Jay Vidovich said. "We got to play a lot of people, so hopefully we'll be ready for our next match. We're in a tremendous stretch right now going from California to playing a good Appalachian State team and now heading off to Maryland." The Deacons out-shot Appalachian State 21-7 in the game, including a 9-2 shots on goal advantage. Wake had nine corner kicks compared to two for the Mountaineers. The victory for Wake Forest extended the team's current winning streak to a school-record 12 games. The 2003 team won 11 consecutive games from October 4 to November 12. The win also improved the team to 7-0-0, which equals the best start in school history. The 2007 team also won its first seven games of the year before a tie against Elon. Wake Forest is the only team in the country without a loss or tie on the season. The Deacons are now unbeaten in their last 34 non-conference games and have not lost a game in Spry Stadium in the last 26 contests. The home unbeaten streak ranks as the ninth longest in NCAA history. Wake Forest scored the only goal of the game at the 22:51 mark as Norman scored a goal for the second consecutive game. The Rochester, Mich., native shot the ball from the far right side of the six-yard box, and found the left side of the net to put the Deacons up 1-0. "That's two games in a row where Luke has stepped up and taken a shot on goal and got it done," Vidovich added. "I'm very happy for him. It was an exciting moment in the game." The Deacons had several quality scoring chances in the second half, attempting 11 shots in the final 45 minutes. In the 68th minute, Cody Arnoux played a pass to Alfredo Rodriguez-Allen. Rodriguez-Allen sent a right-footed shot from the right side of the box just high over the cross bar to keep the score 1-0.
Senior Michael Lahoud nearly scored his first goal of the season in the 71st minute. Lahoud attempted a shot from 30 yards out toward the left post and the Appalachian State goalkeeper made a diving save. Appalachian State had a good scoring chance in the 88th minute. J.T. LaBruyere fired a shot from the left side of the box, but Akira Fitzgerald was there to make the save. Fitzgerald made two saves in the game en route to recording his fifth shut out of the season. Wake Forest returns to the pitch on Friday night, traveling to Maryland to meet the second-ranked Terrapins. First touch is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. (ET) and the game will be carried live on Fox Soccer Channel (channel 141 on Time Warner digital cable in Winston-Salem). -WakeForestSports.com- |
