In 1973 we planted our first vines, and established our vineyards at the Elm Valley location in 1976. These vineyards have been increased until today the property is fully planted with about 20 acres of vines. Varieties we grow include pinot noir, vignoles, pinot gris, regent, riesling, chardonnay and pinot meunier. We also purchase significant amounts of chardonnay and pinot noir from other growers here on the Leelanau Peninsula for our L.Mawby wines. We source for M.Lawrence from Leelanau Peninsula, southwest Michigan and the west coast.
Larry Mawby has been making our L.Mawby traditional method sparkling wines since our first sparkling winemaking in 1984. Since 2010, Mike Laing has been responsible for the M. Lawrence cuve close method sparkling wines.
Look for MAWBYman, appearing randomly anywhere wine drinkers gather. MAWBYman, dapper and silent, hands out swag, without swagger. Note the tie. And the hat. Exclusively MAWBYman. Grin available separately, for all lovers of MAWBYness.

The Port St. Joe Garden last month hosted the 11 garden clubs in the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs District II for its spring meeting.
The Port St. Joe Garden last month hosted the 11 garden clubs in the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs District II for its spring meeting.
The meeting was held at the Centennial Building and more than 80 club members from around Northwest Florida attended.
District II is comprised of clubs from Port St. Joe, Chipley, Bonifay, Vernon, Wausau, Panama City, Panama City Beach, Graceville, Lynn Haven, Marianna Friendship and Marianna.
The theme was �Party at the Beach� and club president Barbara Conway and club members did an excellent job of working together the showcase into a �shell�y�_ day for attendees.
�We may be a small club, but garden clubbers know how to get things done,� Conway said.
She thanked the Panama City Garden Club- Amaryllis Circle for its assistance and Sylvia Holley of Gulf Beach Garden Club for beautiful floral designs made for the event.
The group was welcomed to the city by Mayor Mel Magidson and invited to tour historic Port St. Joe by County Commissioner Tan Smiley.
After spring reports, Linda and Jim Brunner of the Gulf Coast Shell Club presented an entertaining and educational program on shells that can be found on local beaches and waters. They also displayed their collection of shells.
Chipley Garden Club was named the 2013 Garden Club of the Year during the FFGC Spring Convention in Fort Myers.
�This is the number one award in FFGC,� said Jane Brewer, past district director. �The award recognizes the Florida garden club that best excels in all of the following categories: membership increase, service to membership, club programs and projects, members attending club, district and state meetings and/or sponsored programs.
�Chipley Garden Club truly shares the joys of gardening with their community and each other. This is an awesome accomplishment not only for Chipley, but for District II because when one wins, we all win.�
The Chipley club also claimed the 2013 Nell Coe (Grow) Ward, the Civic Beautification Award and National Garden Club/Deep South Region third-place Youth Horticulture Award.
Other FFGC awards included Wausau Garden Club members Judy Solger�s two Digital Photography awards, Marianna Garden Club�s Garden Therapy (Geriatric) Award and District II�s Best Newsletter (District) Award.
Pam Cates, President of Vernon Garden Club, discussed a $100,000 highway beautification grant from the Florida Department of Transportation her club was granted in March and the extensive application process involved.
�We are the first garden club to ever apply for this kind of grant,� Cates said. �And we got it � now the fun begins.�
The club received a Certificate of Excellence for 2011-2013 from district President Jan Sillik and a President�s FFGC Award for its efforts.
Louise Michaels from Chipley, the chairperson for District II Wetlands and Waterways, discussed clean water shortage, desalination technology, water conservation and the lack of concern for maintaining the fresh water supply.
She also discussed the �disheartening� condition of �Little Blue� in Washington County.
�We are working towards rescuing and reclaiming the spring,� Michaels said. �Due to pollution, abuse by recreational vehicles and dumping, the spring has receded over 15 feet and is polluted.
�It was once beautiful, pristine and able to supply an abundance of clean water. We want it to be that way again.
Following the meetings, plants made by the Port St. Joe Garden Club were available for purchase.
If you are interested in joining the Port St. Joe Garden Club or would like more information, please contact the Port St. Joe Garden Club on its Facebook page.

Olive oil is a basic constituent of the Mediterranean diet. Consumption has significantly increased in the past few years owing to its nutritional value and recognized benefits for human health. Traditionally, olive (Olea europaea L.) is a tree species grown in arid environments, with little rainfall occurring during the periods of major plant water demands.
Many adaptive anatomical and physiological mechanisms allow it to withstand damage caused by drought stress reducing vegetative growth and yield performance.
Olive cultivation is steadily expanding throughout many countries, in response to increased oil consumption. Efforts are being made towards improving the agronomic practices aimed at increasing yields and reducing costs while maintaining oil quality without harming the environment.
Some of the technical targets include the reduction of alternate bearing and mechanizing cultivation and harvest. Under such schemes optimizing the water regime is essential for best tree growth and oil production while ensuring efficient water use by the crop.
Irrigation affects the olive yield, fruit size distribution (fresh weight and volume) and qualitative characteristics of the fruit. In addition to morphological and biochemical changes, soil water availability influences phenology and time of fruit maturation.
Today, throughout the Mediterranean region, it is common to find the conversion of traditionally raised rain fed olive orchards to irrigation in an effort to improve productivity. However, the availability of water for irrigation is decreasing due to increased alternative demands for water mainly by industry and households, high energy costs of pumping and distribution as well as decreased water quality.
Future scenarios predict that in most Mediterranean countries where olive cultivation is concentrated per capita, availability in 2025 will decrease by 50% with respect to 1987. Therefore, new innovative sustainable technologies are needed not only for raising and sustaining olive productivity per hectare but also to achieve a consistent supply of quality fruits.
Parallel to meeting a growing olive oil demand on an international level, the challenge for olives is to be competitive in the global market and be supplied at a lower cost while using scarce and expensive resources such as water and fertilizers.
Food and agro-industrial crop Climatic change and water scarcity concerns Rising fertilizer and labor costs Leaching and washing away of nutrients by runoff Low water and fertilizer use efficiency Low oil productivity per hectare under rain fed dry lands Promising crop and expanding market
Why is drip needed?
Economic importance of olives in meeting growing oil demand. Recognized health benefits. To conserve water, increase water and fertilizer use efficiency and optimize olive fruit and oil yields.

To me, earthenware is always "proper clay" - the sticky reddish stuff that squelched between your childhood toes! It is also the traditional material for British pottery, with the old pottery or brick making centers such as Verwood, Burseldon and Bishops Waltham just to the south of me, a line of hills segregating our chalky soil from the clays of the Hampshire Basin to the south. It fires to rich red-brown tones, and throws beautifully.
I use it with a variety of dry glazes and slips, varying from a smooth silk finish to a rough, sandy surface. These complement the matt colour of the clay, and its earthy character. Sometimes I may use the highly reactive cryolite to attack the surface. I may also impress leaves and other found objects into the clay, leaving their mark, and sometimes also used as a stencil for the slip. The glaze of slip may also be scraped thin or even removed from some areas to reveal the underlying body.
Whilst most of the glazes used are not safe for food or for putting in the dishwasher, where one of these pieces may be used as a vase or for storing objects I may coat the inside with a glaze, both to ensure that the ware is impervious to water, and to apply a protective seal.

|Swindon Charles has played in
just 10 of John Jay's games.
John Jay athletics photo
When we hear the story of a 29-year-old man playing college basketball, we applaud his perseverance. And yet we wonder: Where did he lose his way?
Except Swindon Charles never lost his way. If anything, the John Jay junior forward offers a fresh spin on the story of finding education and athletics later in life. Especially with one compelling twist:
He is a Seventh-day Adventist, a Protestant Christian denomination, meaning the Bloodhounds must play without their starting forward and spiritual leader on Friday nights and Saturday afternoons.
"I believe that if you stand up for God, God stands up for you," Charles said. "I place my God before basketball at that point."
Before coming to our shores from Grenada in 2006 — two years after meeting his American wife, Michelle — Charles grew up on an island where three percent of the population are Seventh-Day Adventists according to Grenada's website. Although the church recommends becoming a vegetarian, it emphasizes a diet devoid of what it considers "unclean" products: alcohol, caffeinated beverages, pork, shellfish and tobacco.
However, being a Seventh-day Adventist is about than a clean diet and being socially conservative to the point of avoiding tattoos and body piercings. Above all else, it is about a strict observance of Scripture.
"We believe in establishing the seventh day of the week," Charles said. "Sabbath is from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. And we believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ.
"When the sun sets on Friday, it's a Sabbath. ... We put aside anything that is considered worldly: shopping, hanging out. We use the day to focus on our Lord the creator. We recognize him as the creator of this earth and thank Him for what he's done for us."
Otis Fenn first met Charles a few years ago, when he coached the rugged forward with the now-defunct New York City College of Technology men's program. Charles explained his beliefs and how it could cost Fenn's frontcourt during crucial City University of New York Athletic Conference contests. On some level, he expected the coach to decline his dreams of playing college hoops while pursuing his degree.
Except that Fenn refused to be that coach. Which explains why Charles followed him to John Jay after City Tech shut down following the 2010-11 campaign.
"That didn't stop me from want him on my team," Fenn said. "He's a 3.5 (GPA) student, a very, very intelligent man and he had a family (daughter Sachelle, 4, and son Saneron, 2). I saw some of the things he was trying to do."
In addition to growing up in the Seventh-day Adventist church while in Grenada, Charles also played for his island's national team. The game there is played outdoors, on concrete, but physical enough that he grew accustomed to getting hacked each time he went strong to the hoop.
However, he has adapted to the Division III game because, as the Dean's list student astutely noted, "Basketball is basketball anywhere you go." While his statline is relatively modest — 5.8 points, 7.8 rebounds in 24.8 minutes per game — his impact is immeasurable to the Bloodhounds. Not only does he offer guidance in the locker room, but Fenn detailed how he spends tutoring younger teammates.
"You don't find that," the coach said. "That's very very rare when a guy wants to help other guys get better not only on the court, but in the classroom."
Charles will turn 30 next month and will miss at least four of the Bloodhounds' remaining games because of religious practices — not to mention their first-round CUNYAC tournament contest if they make it and again, if they should be so lucky, advance to the title game. He is already thinking about his future beyond basketball since he is two semesters from graduating.
In the meantime, Charles continues to balance being a father, a forward, a student and a Seventh-day Adventist, a fresh spin of a man finding success in academics and athletics later in life.
Focused on the present
|Austin Claunch runs the Emory
offense, which has helped the Eagles go 32-5 with him in the
Emory athletics photo
Men's coach Jason Zimmerman said "there's always going to be a scar" for everyone at Emory who remembers missing out on experiencing their first taste of March Madness in 21 seasons despite going 20-5 and finishing second in the perennially strong University Athletic Association.
However, that is out of sight and out of mind for the undefeated Eagles, 12-0 and ranked fourth in the D3hoops.com Top 25. Zimmerman is focusing only on the first four minutes of Friday night's game at one-loss NYU, refusing to think ahead to Sunday's tip-off in suburban Boston against a Brandeis squad that has already upset No. 5 Amherst.
"Right now, we're worried about (win No.) 13. That's our next goal," senior point guard Austin Claunch said. "We want teams to remember Emory and how hard we play."
Three-plus seasons ago when Claunch and fellow seniors Chris Cohen, Alex Gulotta, Justin Resnick and Corey Spraggins entered Emory, the program lingered around the UAA cellar. In their first season, they endured a 7-18 finish with just two league victories.
Undaunted, the Eagles went 15-10 during Claunch and company's sophomore year before placing themselves on the Division III NCAA Tournament bubble that subsequently burst.
"They kept working everyday," Zimmerman said. "Did they have the goal of, say, being in the Top 5? I think it was, 'Let's get better.' "
Instead of lamenting being left out of the NCAA bracket, Emory looked inward. A summer trip to Ireland helped further galvanize the returning veterans. How much? When Zimmerman oversaw October's first practices, he already saw a squad further ahead than any in his previous four seasons as the Eagles' bench boss.
Although forward Jake Davis (19.6 points, 7.3 rebounds per game) is enjoying a stellar sophomore season, Claunch (18.3 ppg, 7.1 apg) is the one who commands an Eagles' offense averaging 85.6 points per game and has sparked the program's renaissance.
"I think he's the best point guard in Division III basketball," Zimmerman said. "I think he's one of the best players in Division III basketball."
True to the unselfish nature of his position, Claunch defers. "For me, it's not about points and assists, it's about winning games," the senior said.
Since the tip-off of the 2010-11 season, the Eagles are 32-5 with Claunch running the show. It could be 34-5 after this weekend, although UAA road trips are awfully unpredictable due to the travel.
However, if things stay true to their current form, Emory appears primed to earn its second NCAA bid ever — and first since going 25-4 and advancing to the Sweet 16 in 1989-90.
Not that Zimmerman will be satisfied until he hears the Eagles' name called this March.
"We thought we did enough last year," he said. "We don't want to feel that feeling again."
|Courtney Kurncz recorded a
double-double for Calvin in its rivalry game against
Calvin athletics photo
As the rivalry turns
By Gordon Mann
The men's basketball rivalry between Hope and Calvin is known for how closely matched the teams have been, game-to-game and year-to-year. Over the rivalry's 90-year history, Hope has 92 wins to Calvin's 87 with an incredibly slight scoring advantage of 67.8 points per game to 67.3 over that period.
The women's side of the rivalry has not been as evenly matched. Calvin won the first 22 meetings between the schools from 1966 to 1979. After Hope finally broke through with a win in 1980, Calvin resumed its dominance. The Knights won 13 of the next 14 games and, coupled with the prior 13-year win streak, they lead the all-time series 64-39 through Saturday's game.
For much of the time D3hoops.com has been online, Hope has dominated the rivalry. The Flying Dutch have won 23 of 28 meetings with Calvin since 2000. Hope won or shared 10 of 12 conference titles and won eight conference tournaments over that time. Calvin has had success of its own success, including a conference title in 2004, coach John Ross' first season with the Knights. The Knights have also been to the NCAA quarterfinals twice since 2000, the same number of times Hope played for a national championship during that period. But the rundown of game-by-game results in the rivarly shows a long stretch during which Hope has had the upper hand on its rival.
That changed last season, even if only by a couple points. Each team won a game at home during the regular season. Calvin beat Hope by one in Grand Rapids. Hope beat Calvin by 22 in Holland. Then Calvin guard Jill Thomas hit a three-pointer with the clock running out to give the Knights a dramatic 67-65 win in the 2011 conference tournament final. That shot also gave Calvin its first season series win over Hope since 2007.
At the start of this season, outside observers tabbed Calvin as the new favorite in the conference. The Knights received eight of nine first place votes in the preseason poll. Hope received the final vote. Calvin debuted in the Preseason Top 25 at No. 6 and Hope at No. 19.
While polls, particularly in the preseason, have limited value, the Knights have lived up to the high expectations so far. On Saturday Calvin defeated Hope 72-59 to improve to 13-0 and grab first place in the conference. The 13-point margin of victory was Calvin's largest since 1999 and Calvin led the game from tip to finish.
Hope shot 1-for-11 from the field in the game's first nine minutes and the Knights built a 13-3 lead. The Flying Dutch then switched to a zone defense and started filling Calvin's passing lanes, contesting or deflecting every pass, even those deep on the perimeter. Calvin went cold from three-point territory and Hope crept within nine. But Calvin's Courtney Kurncz put together three excellent possessions to squelch the Flying Dutch's comeback before halftime. The 5-11 guard, who would probably be a forward on many Division III teams, blocked the shot of a Hope player who appeared to have an uncontested layup. At the other end Kurncz showed why she's a guard, blowing through the Hope defense for two. A little later, she found Ally Wolffis on an inbound pass for an easy basket.
Kurncz started the second half the same way. First a spinning shot in the lane. Then a drive to the rim from the wing for two. Kurncz, who averages 7.7 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Afterward Ross said, "That was probably the best game Courtney has played in a Calvin uniform."
While Kurncz shone brightest on Saturday, All-American Carissa Verkaik was not far behind. Early in the game she blocked shots and banked in one-armed shots off the glass, often over the outstretched arms of two or three defenders. Verkaik is 6-foot-2 but, as Hope coach Brian Morehouse notes, "she has the wing span of someone 6-6."
Verkaik is in her third season at Calvin and each one so far has been excellent. She was the D3hoops.com Freshman of the Year in 2010 and a third team All-American as a sophomore. When Morehouse is asked the reason for Calvin's resurgence, he says without hesitation. "It's the three-headed monster – Verkaik, [Julia] Hilbrands and Wolfiss." Hilbrands added 10 points and 8 rebounds in 21 minutes on Calvin's victory on Saturday. The three-headed monster plus Kurncz and two freshmen give Calvin six players at or close to six foot, more than most Division III teams.
Verkaik was nearly Hope's monster. Her family lives 1.3 miles from Morehouse. He notes the exact mileage because he knows it well. Carissa's mother was the preschool teacher for Morehouse's daughter and he recruited Verkaik hard out of high school, as did Ross. Carissa chose Calvin, which is also her parents' alma mater.
When Coach Ross is asked about his program's rise, he acknowledges that Carissa and her junior teammates "more than had an instant impact on our program. They all worked so hard the summer before they came to Calvin." Summer leagues and less formal offseason playing opportunities allowed Calvin's players to build chemistry before the season began.
But Ross' first explanation for Calvin's rise is something less tangible. "It's the commitment and dedication of our players. That's gotten stronger, though it's always been pretty good. It's the team unity and chemistry – not only through our varsity program, but through the JV program. The leaders in our program have done such a good job to draw people together." Those leaders include Kurncz, Thomas and fellow senior Leah Mattson. Ross also notes that his team has had time to learn and grow into the Triangle offense that the Knights run. Knowledge plus talent and hard work make Calvin a national title contender.
Before this glowing review of Calvin gets posted on a bulletin board in Hope's locker room, please note that Hope is still very good. When the Flying Dutch defense plays well, they seem to have two-second advance knowledge of what their opponent is going to do before they try to do it. The Flying Dutch swarm the ball, making it difficult to catch, let alone do anything with it.
Morehouse says his best scoring option "is by committee, as it's always been." Maddie Burnett led the Flying Dutch on Saturday with 18 points. In recent years, Carrie Snikkers gave Hope a special weapon. She was a 6-3 center with a guard's touch from behind the arc and a forward's footwork in the lane. When Verkaik won the conference MVP in 2009, Snikkers was selected the National Player of the Year. Snikkers graduated this spring which partly explains Hope's relative decline in preseason rankings.
With Snikkers and fellow first-team all-conference forward Erika Bruinsma graduating last spring, the Flying Dutchmen hoped to rely on current junior Meredith Kussmaul in the post. She has the length, height and foot speed to at least slow down Verkaik. But Kussmaul tore her ACL in Hope's victory over Ithaca on Dec. 16 and is lost for the season. Morehouse was quick to point out that, even with Kussmaul, Calvin still likely would've beaten his team on Saturday. He complemented junior Courtney Kust who played solid defense and scored nine points in the post. But Kust is listed as a guard/forward, and depth at forward is critical against a team with Calvin's height.
Even so, Ross knows the gap between the two rivals is not large. He says Hope is good enough to be ranked in the top five in the country. It's not an accident that such a placement would put the Flying Dutch close to Calvin. Ross is quick to acknowledge Hope's strengths and Morehouse reciprocates when discussing Calvin. This is rivalry where respect outweighs rancor.
But for now Calvin gets to enjoy its advantage over Hope, the undefeated start and the rising expectations that the Knights could be the MIAA team playing deep into the NCAA tournament. And Hope will focus on the games ahead, including a Feb. 4 rematch with Calvin.

African Iron Production and Iron-Working Technologies: Methods
Louise Iles
Iron production was a particularly important precolonial African technology, with iron becoming a central component of socioeconomic life in many societies across the continent. Iron-bearing ores are much more abundant in the earth's crust than those of copper, and in Africa, iron was recovered from these ores using the bloomery process, until the importation of European iron in the later second millennium eventually undermined local production. Although smelting was most intensively focused in regions where all the necessary components of a smelt were plentiful—iron ore, ceramic, fuel, and water—frequent occurrences of small-scale, local iron production mean that iron slag and associated remains are common finds on archaeological sites across Africa.
The archaeological remains found on iron production and iron-working sites can provide detailed information about the past processes that were undertaken at these sites, as well as the people involved with the technologies both as practitioners and consumers. A variety of analytical approaches are commonly used by archaeometallurgists to learn more about past iron technologies, particularly those methods that explore the chemistry and mineralogy of archaeological samples. By interpreting the results of these analyses in conjunction with ethnographic, historical, and experimental data, it is possible to reconstruct the techniques and ingredients that past smelters and smiths employed in their crafts, and address important questions concerning the organization of production, the acquisition of raw materials, innovations and changes in technological approach, and the environmental and social changes that accompanied these technologies.
Ancient Developments in the Middle Senegal Valley and the Inland Niger Delta
Alioune Dème
The study of West Africa has contributed to the expansion of comparative arid-lands floodplain prehistory, from both the data collection (cultural and historical) and the theoretical aspects. The neoevolutionary approach that often pictures Africa as a backward continent has been successfully challenged. In the Middle Senegal Valley and in the Inland Niger Delta, research on their societies' complexity done along these two subcontinent's floodplains has described new processes (including urbanization) that were not previously featured in the archaeological literature. The two floodplains, because of their ecological diversity, with the richness of their ecological diversity, attracted Saharan populations affected by drought at the end of the second millennium and the first millennium BC. However, after their initiation occupation the two areas took different trajectories in complexity and settlement organization. Large complex settlements have been found at Jenne-jeno and in the Ile a Morphil that illustrate whole new trajectories of civilization. These forms of complexity, found in areas with historically known polities, were not included in the range of possibilities predicted by standard complexity theories regarding civilizational development. Ethnographic and historical data, reveal the existence of societies with a central authority embedded within and balanced by a diffuse, segmented and heterarchical power structure; often as a strategy to resist the individual consolidation of power. These societies exhibit evidence of horizontal differentiation and consensus-based decision making. All these types of organization are characterized by the presence of several sources of power vested in corporate entities, such as lineages, age groups, cults and secret societies.
The Archaeology of Gender in Sub-Saharan Africa
Lyn Wadley
The meaning and context of gender is contested even in the 21st century. No generalizations about gender are applicable through time or across space. Even where gender roles are defined by particular cultural norms, they are not static, and an individual may pass through several gendered social transformations in a lifetime. Sub-Saharan African rites of passage into adulthood are sometimes marked by gender-specific physical mutilations such as circumcision, dental modification or scarification, together with other forms of symbolic marking that invariably adopt a binary gender system as the norm. The initiations are largely designed to instruct initiates about behavior appropriate for men and women of reproductive age belonging to a specific community. Some aspects of initiation rites may be detected archaeologically through skeletal alterations, rock art motifs, and props such as scarified dolls. Concepts of gender are also connected to the last rite of passage: burial. Through this, people gain access to the ancestral world. In some parts of Africa such as Mali, men and women are buried with the artifacts they owned in life, while in Ethiopia, stelae mark the gender of the deceased. Elsewhere, as in the Stone Age of southern Africa, gender-undifferentiated grave goods are placed with men, women, and children, suggesting a genderless ancestral world. Gender roles can be identified in some archaeological sites in parts of Africa, and these roles sometimes appear to have altered through time. Gender roles changed with environmental shifts, and certain tasks such as big-game hunting disappeared as a result. In other cases, gender roles were revised because of social pressures imposed on specific communities.
Archaeozoology: Methods
Veerle Linseele
Archaeozoology is the study of animal remains, mainly bones and other hard parts, from archaeological sites. It contributes to a more complete understanding of various aspects of human life in the past. Ideally, archaeozoologists, like other specialists, should be involved in the entire process of an archaeological research project, from its design, to fieldwork and data collecting, to final reporting and publication. For efficient communication and fruitful collaboration, the archaeologists involved in this process need to understand the basics of archaeozoological methodology and the range of questions that the discipline can answer. Methods vary among archaeozoologists—not least with regard to quantification—and it is important to be aware of these differences and their possible impact on results when comparing data for different sites. While the actual analysis of animal remains is done by the archaeozoologists, preferably in circumstances where they have access to a comparative collection of recent animal skeletons, the excavation and collection of remains is often the responsibility of the archaeologists. Animal remains are affected by a host of taphonomic processes of loss that are beyond our control. To avoid additional loss of information at the fieldwork stage, appropriate methods are particularly important. The use of sieves with a mesh size no greater than 2 mm is essential in order not to miss the smaller, but no less informative, animal remains. Project leaders play an important role in providing good storage facilities for archaeozoological remains after excavation and after study. With the rapid development in analytical methods, it can be extremely interesting to return to previously studied remains and sample them.
The Bantu Expansion
Koen Bostoen
The Bantu Expansion stands for the concurrent dispersal of Bantu languages and Bantu-speaking people from an ancestral homeland situated in the Grassfields region in the borderland between current-day Nigeria and Cameroon. During their initial migration across most of Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa, which took place between approximately 5,000 and 1,500 years ago, Bantu speech communities not only introduced new languages in the areas where they immigrated but also new lifestyles, in which initially technological innovations such as pottery making and the use of large stone tools played an important role as did subsequently also farming and metallurgy. Wherever early Bantu speakers started to develop a sedentary way of life, they left an archaeologically visible culture. Once settled, Bantu-speaking newcomers strongly interacted with autochthonous hunter-gatherers, as is still visible in the gene pool and/or the languages of certain present-day Bantu speech communities. The driving forces behind what is the principal linguistic, cultural, and demographic process in Late Holocene Africa are still a matter of debate, but it is increasingly accepted that the climate-induced destruction of the rainforest in West Central Africa around 2,500 years ago gave a boost to the Bantu Expansion.
Ceramics, Foodways, and Consumption: Methods
Liza Gijanto
Analysis of ceramics in archaeological contexts has provided a range of information regarding African history. Archaeologists have approached ceramics as a craft as well as an indicator of identity and status. The Africanist focus on the technological development of ceramic manufacture and production has taken several forms. The most notable are (1) the origins of ceramic production, (2) the spread and independent invention of this technology and regional styles through typological analysis, and (3) technological change related to the identity of the producers and consumers including changing dietary practices over time. The various arguments put forth for the first production and use of ceramics in different regions of the continent are connected to the exploitation of available resources such as fish as well as the rise of agricultural production. Following the appearance and technical history of ceramics in various regions of the continent, a focus on foodways and regional cuisine has placed ceramics at the forefront of interpretation.
Development of Plant Food Production in the West African Savannas: Archaeobotanical Perspectives
Katharina Neumann
The West African savannas are a major area of independent plant domestication, with pearl millet, African rice, fonio, several legumes, and vegetable crops originating there. For understanding the origins of West African plant-food-producing traditions, it is useful to have a look at their precursors in the Sahara during the "African humid period" between 10,500 and 4,500 years ago. The Early and Middle Holocene Saharan foragers and pastoralists intensively used wild grasses for food but did not intentionally cultivate. Due to increasing aridity in the late 3rd millennium
Documenting Precolonial Trade in Africa
Shadreck Chirikure
Promoted by necessity, scarcity, and/or abundance, trade is one of the most essential cultural behaviors that promoted contact and exchange of ideas, commodities, and services between individuals and communities and variously transformed African societies of different regions and time periods. Anthropological, historical (including historical linguistics), and archaeological evidence points to the existence, on the one hand, of intra-African trade and, on the other, of external trade between Africa and those outside the continent. Traditionally, however, trade and exchange involving perishable and organic commodities such as grain and cattle have until now been very difficult to identify due to a lack of well-resolved documentation techniques. By comparison, that some objects such as metal artifacts, glass beads, ceramics, and porcelain are pyrotechnological products, with a high survival rate that makes their trade and exchange easily visible archaeologically. Given the well-known regional differences across the continent, it is essential to combine multiple sources and techniques, in a multipronged way, to provide a dynamic picture of the mechanics of precolonial African trade and exchange of various time periods and geographies.
Ethnographic Analogy in Archaeology: Methodological Insights from Southern Africa
Mark McGranaghan
Analogical arguments are central to and pervasive within archaeological discourse. Within these arguments, ethnographic analogies are often seen as being particularly problematic exercises in essentialism, which unthinkingly cast reified ethnographic schema back in time and thus perpetuate ideas about primitive indigenes, awaiting colonial contact to emerge from ahistorical primordial obscurity. The shadow of 19th-century social evolutionism, in which forager communities (not participating in agriculture and leading nomadic lifestyles) were represented as particularly primitive, has cast a pall of suspicion over ethnographic analogical models—especially as forager communities continue to feature prominently in such models to this day.
Archaeologists use ethnographic analogies in a variety of ways; these analogies are heuristic constructs tailored to research questions and to the stubbornness of particular suites of archaeological data. Such uses include inducing imaginative and revelatory modes of thinking about past societies, outside of the archaeologist's usual experiences, as well as a suite of formal and relational analogies that seek to combine ethnographic data with data drawn from the physical sciences to help constrain archaeological interpretation.
Direct historical approaches utilize a collection of ethnographic and historical sources to construct analogies based on a relation of similarity between the communities of people involved; these frameworks, perhaps, carry the greatest danger of unwittingly casting modern populations as "contemporary primitives." By emphasizing that source-side ethnographic datasets are heuristic tools rather than reflections of some sociocultural reality, such fears may (at least in part) be ameliorated. Saliently, archaeological data must operate as epistemologically equivalent to ethnographic data in order to resist the tendency to cast back a rich, textured ethnographic case study wholesale into the murky waters of prehistory. Only when this status is afforded archaeological data can is it possible to reveal the ways in which past conditions diverged from ethnographic ones.
Farming and Herding in Eastern Africa: Archaeological and Historical Perspectives
Freda Nkirote M'Mbogori
The inception of agriculture in eastern Africa is a major topic of discussion among Africanist archaeologists, although very sparse evidence exists. Questions range from whether domestication was a local invention or whether it was introduced from the Near East, Asia, or elsewhere outside of Africa. These questions have remained unanswered because wild progenitors and models of the spread of African domesticates are yet to be established using undisputable data. The paucity of direct data has therefore necessitated the use of objects of material culture such as pottery, beads, burial cairns, architectural structures, and so on as indicators of pastoralism and cereal farming. In addition to the origins of African domesticates, research in eastern Africa has concerned itself with questions of farming technologies from later archaeological and historical times to the present. The remains of elaborate farming systems with extensive irrigation networks have drawn considerable attention. Though not unchanged, some of these farming systems remain in contemporary use in Kenya, Tanzania, and Ethiopia.

Hurry the photobug is around...grab your camera
Nice. I hope this season will be better than the first.
I accept random friend requests
Better be "Little Buster" Next ^^
guess ill have to finish season 1...
Legal Anime http://www.crunchyroll.com/user/Assassinx89/pages/legalsites
Hurry the photobug is around...grab your camera
Why the ???s beside the next date? Leaves me with ominous dread there won't be many more than this minimal slate, sadly. Also, obvious CR pickup is obvious...
Found this series to be ok at first; then it induced me into a rage with what they did with the end.
When she starts doing blatant god-modeing. And then her "flaw" (which I got the arrogant impression that the writer(s) thought made the character more realistic), when she gets mad and god-modes even more.
When you start rooting for the "bad guys," because they are doing everything better then the "good guys" (I mean that one guy out-maneuvered, out-thought, out-strategized the girl several times ans still lost), you know there is something very wrong with the plot/characters.
In fact, the only character I liked out of that entire series was the "bad guy," because he was the only person who had a personality even close to real.
Oh cool.
Beautiful Nel!
So the odds of getting Kamisama Kiss or Sukitte ii na yo are getting much lower. Not good
patiently waiting...

I hear ya, I'm hoping for Sukitte ii na yo as I'm following the manga, but Kamisama Kiss seems to be the more popular choice. Both would be great but I just dont see it happening now. Besides those, theres still ALOT more I want added. Who knows, maybe Crunchyroll will surprise us..
(๑╹ڡ╹)╭ ~ ♡ o f f t o s c h o o l o n c e a g a i n
Wow, not many shows this season. Is this going to be a new trend?
Don't think the "less" shows in pick up is any trend really. First off there are plenty of Reaccuring series this season. Granted there is more out there. The Fall season as a whole is a lot smaller than Spring and Summer, so overall there is less to grab. There will probably be 2-3 more series picked up, they just don't have announcent dates for them as they are "still in progress"
23 Series for this season is not Small by any standard.
Only thing left that I want is Robotics;notes
Its time for Site-wide HTTPS and dropping flash in the Manga Section.
a lot of the shows from last season are continuing, like Sword Art Online, Hunter X Hunter, Space Brothers, and Total Eclipse. Plus Gintama and Hayate we're series that had proven they're success before both getting past 50 episodes. Add all this together and it's no surprise if they've drained their wallets. Also Medaka box Abnormal and Magi could both become long running series. while availability might not be the best for non-Americans, Crunchyroll chose really well this season, and so long as they are able to hold the streaming rights, they could be really set for a good year in continuing series. Good job Crunchyroll!
Its time for Site-wide HTTPS and dropping flash in the Manga Section.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. –The No. 21-ranked Florida State women's basketball team fought back again on Friday night at the Donald L. Tucker Center, battling past a physical Georgia Tech team to win 76-71.
Senior forward Chelsea Davis led the way for the Garnet and Gold with 23 points on 10-of-13 shooting.
In a game that featured 14 lead changes, the Seminoles found themselves down 3 with 5:20 left in the game.
After splitting a pair of free throws to bring FSU within 2, senior guard Alexa Deluzio took a pass on the wing, drove down the key and was fouled while making a twisting layup. The layup tied the game at 68-68 with 4:12 left and her ensuing free throw gave the Seminoles a lead they would not relinquish.
Georgia Tech's Dawnn Maye missed a runner on the next possession. Davis grabbed the rebound and was rewarded with a pass right back to her on the block where she converted a baby hook off the glass to give FSU a 71-68 lead with 3:31 remaining in the game.
Deluzio knocked a jumper that put FSU up 5 with 2:15 left and Davis, whose 10 field goals were a career high, fittingly iced the game when she made a putback to make the score 75-68 with 40 seconds left after senior guard Morgan Toles missed the front end of a 1-and-1 at the free throw line.
Davis' clutch layup capped a 10-0 run for the Seminoles, who held the Yellow Jackets scoreless for five crucial minutes down the stretch from Tyaunna Marshall's basket at the 5:20 mark to Brittanny Jackson's jumper with 20 seconds left and the game already decided.
"In the last five minutes they didn't score," Florida State head coach Sue Semrau said. "Part of that was our rebounding and our focus. That just shows what we can do when we are focused. Lex (Deluzio) talked about the physicality. There were 14 fouls in the first half, and we didn't get to the 1 and 1 in the second half until the five minute mark. That's a tough team to beat and that's a tough team to play. These ladies playing 30 plus minutes against that team … we are going to need to get an ice bath here to make sure they are ready for Sunday."
Deluzio finished with just nine points in a game-high 35 minutes, but scored seven in the decisive final five-minute stretch.
Davis notched her third 20-point game of the season and matched her career-high with three blocks while playing a career-best 30 minutes.
"What a warrior," Semrau said of Davis. "She battled. She came up with big rebounds on the defensive end, big blocks. Our guards did a great job of finding her and she did a great job of delivering."
Senior guard Leonor Rodriguez and senior forward Chasity Clayton each added 10 points for the Seminoles, who shot 52.7 percent from the field – the ninth time the Noles have shot 50 percent of better this season. ¬¬
The Yellow Jackets were able to stay in the game with the Noles by scoring 29 points off of 20 FSU turnovers.
The Seminoles came back from down 12 last Sunday to win at NC State and proved they were able to overcome adversity again on Friday night as they extended their win streak to four games and completed the season sweep of Georgia Tech.
Florida State gets little rest before returning to action on Sunday against Virginia Tech at the Tucker Center at 2 p.m.

The real joy of Flipboard is in its design, which looks especially plush on the Nexus 7′s 720p screen. Each network and status update is laid out differently, with images and video being cleverly interwoven into Flipboard's UI. Flipboard review / Download it here
Only recently did Sky Go get Nexus 7 compatibility and it still doesn't function on many other Android devices, so count yourself lucky if you are a Nexus 7 owner. The app allows you to watch your Sky subscription as well as on-demand content on your Nexus 7.
It costs around £15 a month for non-Sky TV customers and free for customers. The portability of the Nexus 7, coupled with access to your Sky account, can make for a very handy second-screen experience. Sky Go review / Download it here
Inside the Nexus 7 is a powerful quad core Tegra 3 processor. This means the tablet can run the very best of mobile games. Horn is one of them. Boasting stunning graphics and an in-depth console-rivalling style of gameplay. It is the gaming app to enjoy on your new tablet.
Horn is $6.99 (£5.07), making it one of the more expensive apps on Google Play, but when you realise the scale of the title, it should become clear you have got your money's worth. Horn review / Download it here
This app might be slightly long in the tooth, but it certainly isn't showing its age. TuneIn Radio is one of the best ways to listen to music on your Nexus 7 for free.
The app is like a DAB radio but in app form. It accesses a large database of digital radio stations, including those of the BBC and then lets you stream them to your device. A clever browser lets you do things like search by genre and a Pro version allows you to record whatever you want to your Nexus 7. Download it here
The Nexus 7 is an ideal eReader. As with just about any mobile platform or device, there is a Kindle app capable of running on it.
The Kindle app on Nexus 7 grants you access to more than 1 million titles, making for more than enough reading material to satisfy even the busiest of reader. The app is also capable of reading other things like PDFs, making it handy for work. Kindle review / Download it here

In 1991 I was asked to deliver a paper about document delivery to a small association of special librarians. I pulled from my files a paper I had given five years before to a meeting of the same association. At that time, I described the process of manually searching reference tools for holding libraries, sending runners to photocopy articles and finding alternative sources for gray or fugitive materials. I emphasized that prompt delivery, responsive customer service and reasonable fees were the most important factors in serving and keeping our clients.
By 1991, having worked in the field for 11 years, I saw very few changes in the ways documents were identified, located or obtained. Although we used expedited delivery services such as overnight mail and fax, we basically were still technologically challenged, compared to our information broker colleagues who pulled reams of data off remote databases and now had access to some full-text journal and newspaper articles online in ASCII format.
The biggest change that I saw in the five-year period between 1986 and 1991 was in the evolution of the role of the special librarian from a supply side to a demand side mentality. No longer was the library a repository of books and periodicals, but instead it was becoming a strategic hub of new technologies allowing for more efficient collection, storage and dissemination of information on which important R&D, marketing and management decisions would be made. The librarian of the 1990s had become a technician, a trainer and a consultant, while keeping up with a plethora of new databases, an increasing number of periodicals and sources of print information and new developments in hardware and software technologies.
At the same time, library budgets were decreasing, and librarians found themselves having to justify their existence. The gap between the demand for services and budget allowances resulted in a movement from a collections environment to an access-based one. In other words, librarians were forced to think in terms of ějust-in-timeî rather than ějust-in-caseî when making acquisition decisions. In many cases library personnel cuts resulted in service cuts just when the librarianís role should have been more proactive and more visible.
The concept of outsourcing or subcontracting some library services became not only more acceptable, but necessary. Independent information professionals rose to the task of providing a wider range of library support services than in earlier years. Information brokers augment in-house capabilities not only in times of peak demand, but also in cases when special skills are required. These include specialized database searching, automated systems development, market research, acquisitions and document delivery.
Since 1991 notable changes have occurred in every aspect of document delivery. Identifying, locating and procuring copies of articles is no longer a hit-or-miss exercise involving manual reference sources and runners stationed in libraries throughout the country. Using sophisticated tools such as OPACS (online public access catalogs) and the Internet, document delivery specialists can be more precise in locating sources. Documents can be located and ordered from clearinghouses such as UMI and British Library, both of which provide copyright-cleared delivery of thousands of titles.
Many database producers provide copies of documents cited on their online databases. Independent brokerage firms provide documents from in-house collections from various database producers that choose to house their collections with commercial suppliers. In addition to these traditional avenues of delivery, independent document delivery firms now have access to full-text in a growing variety of modes and delivery options. The number of databases providing ASCII full-text is expanding exponentially, and the advent of electronic imaging technologies has created an explosion of options and opportunities for searching and retrieving documents. Full-text with graphics and images can be retrieved immediately and delivered to the desktop or fax machine of the end-user, copyright-cleared, without the document delivery expert having to see or touch the original hard copy. Tables-of-contents services, stand-alone CD-ROM databases, news filtering services are but a few more of the available options.
On the leading edge of these new developments are CARL Uncover Companyís table of contents and document delivery service with over 16,000 titles covered, OCLC FirstSearch with more than 12,300 titles from their ArticleFirst and ContentsFirst databases, RLGís Ariel technology, which transforms a printed document to an electronic one for delivery via the Internet, UMIís ProQuest Power Pages and new Advanced Document Delivery Service ADDS, AT&T Right Pages, Dialogís SourceOne for full-text and images of patents as well as articles, and British Libraryís Inside Information Service.
The full-text of newspapers articles is available online not only through vendors such as Dialog and Nexis, but now also through consumer-oriented services like CompuServe, America Online, Dow Jones and Prodigy.
When ASCII full-text became available on Dialog, some document delivery companies feared that their businesses would suffer, but in fact the effect was minimal. Coverage was and still is selective, and more importantly, graphics and tabular data, when present in the original article, are missing. Full image electronic technology that allows for scanning of documents for immediate transmission by fax or storage for future transmission has revolutionized the industry and partially responds to collection reduction in libraries. This will no doubt increase as the titles covered becomes more comprehensive. Yet there are thousands upon thousands of titles, as well as conference proceedings, that are still only available through traditional means. The end result is that the variety of ěinformation containers,î the expansion of sources and resources and the complexity of ordering options can and will induce more librarians into subcontracting agreements with information brokers.
Document delivery companies can maintain market share by using all the high-tech tools available in order to rise to new levels of responsiveness. This includes acknowledging that in a customer-driven environment, flexibility is the quality that will distinguish one service provider from another. Keeping up with the literature and with new directions and technologies is a full-time job. Conscientious attention to individual time, budget and other customized requirements are what the librarian will view as value-added services. Working in partnership with librarians, information brokers can provide the product, allowing the librarian to focus attention on the client, thus creating together a new model of knowledge management.

Has it been 3 weeks since you completed your FAFSA and have not received a financial aid award for the 2010-2011 academic year? If so, follow these instructions to make sure your FAFSA information is sent to the DTC Office of Financial Aid.
In past academic years, the Illinois Institute of Technology participated in the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). FFELP allows students to borrow federal student loans from private lenders (usually banks or credit unions). On March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 was signed into law. This law includes a provision that eliminates the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) beginning July 1, 2010. For this reason, beginning in the fall semester of 2010 all Title IV eligible higher education institutions, including IIT, are required to participate in the Direct Loan Program (DL). The Direct Loan Program is a federal student loan program that allows students to borrow funds "directly" from the U.S. Department of Education. DL Subsidized Stafford, Unsubsidized Stafford and Graduate PLUS loans operate in essentially the same manner as in the FFEL program. Students receive the same fixed interest rates (except the Graduate PLUS has a lower interest rate at 7.9%) and have similar repayment options. Payments made by the borrower are sent directly to the U.S. Department of Education's servicing company.
Because of this change, all students who borrowed loans in 2009-2010 and plan on borrowing federal loans in 2010-2011 will need to complete new Federal Direct Loan Master Promissory Note(s) (MPN) and Federal Direct Loan Entrance Counseling. If you wish to receive loan funds for the 2010-2011 academic year, you must do the following:
Beginning this year, Perkins loans will be processed by ECSI (Educational Computer Systems, Inc.) on behalf of IIT and Chicago Kent College of Law. ECSI is a service provider specializing in Perkins loan processing. With the ECSI service, you will have improved access to your Perkins information in a personal, secure account on the Internet. In addition, ECSI will provide many enhancements to improve and expedite Perkins processing. If you are a Perkins recipient, you will receive additional communication and instructions regarding this change in the next few weeks.
Please be aware that the university now allows students the option of having their financial aid refunds direct deposited into their checking or savings account. The university encourages all student to sign up for direct deposit. Click here for more information on the new TouchNet service.
For students that missed the group exit counseling sessions last week please complete the Federal Loan Exit Counseling Online on the National Student Loan Database System (NSLDS). Click here for the exit counseling on NSLDS: http://www.nslds.ed.gov/nslds_SA/. The presentation from the exit counseling session is located here. After you complete this requirement you can stop by our office to pick up your loan summary from NSLDS.
For more general information about choosing repayment plans please watch the "Picking your Plan" video. This is a presentaion that was hosted by the Office of Financial Aid and recorded last year. It has general Repayment information that graduating students may find useful.
In compliance with Title Z, three disclosure statements will be sent to all students applying for private education loans. These forms will be sent out before the loan can be disbursed. Also, a self-certification form will need to be completed by the student or financial aid office.
New forms and procedures:
Application Disclosure- You will receive this form as part of the online application process, before you fill out the application. If you apply by phone you will receive this disclosure within 3 days. This contains general information about ranges of rate, terms and fees.
Approval Disclosure- You will receive this form after final approval of the loan by the lender and before the school certification request is sent to the school. It contains specific information about the approved loan, including the approved loan amount, rate and estimated repayment schedule. This disclosure statement must be accepted by you either by calling the lender or logging onto the lenders website. If you do not accept this Approval Disclosure within 30 calendar days of receipt the loan approval or the loan will be cancelled and you will have to reapply.
Final Disclosure- You will receive this form after your Approval Disclosure is received by the lender. It contains previously disclosed on rate, fees, default, and repayment terms. It also gives you the 3 calendar days to cancel the loan prior to the first disbursement date.
The 2010-2011 FAFSA application is available for completion. You can use this FAFSA on the web Worksheet to help with your FAFASA application. http://www.ifap.ed.gov/eannouncements/attachments/FOTWWorkshEn1011.pdf. To complete the FAFSA form go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and list the IIT Downtown Campus school code: E00773.
Also distribution of 2010-2011 Renewal FAFSA Reminders Begins January 15, 2010. Students who are renewal-eligible for 2010-2011 and who qualify for reminders by January 11, 2010 will be sent Renewal Reminder notifications. Eligible students who provided e-mail addresses on their 2009-2010 records will receive 2010-2011 Renewal Reminder e-mails. Renewal-eligible students whose records do not have valid e-mail addresses, or whose Renewal Reminder e-mails are returned as undeliverable, will be mailed 2010-2011 Renewal Reminder letters, provided there is a deliverable mailing address.

In the middle of trying to upgrade a site. But before I do, I want to fix something that's been driving me crazy. I cannot get the hyperlinks the right color. I've set them in ATO>Body, Texts and Links but the colors set there aren't working. I've looked in other places but can;t seem to find anyplace else to change it. I've looked to see if there are any inserts also but couldn't find it. Here's the site. Do not like he bright blue.
Presently I'm running ATA 3.5.3 and WP 3.1.1 Hope to upgrade everything this weekend.

The KOH preparation test is used to
find out whether oral candidiasis (thrush) is
present in a person's mouth. A sample of skin is taken from the person's mouth
by lightly scraping the white patches.
The sample is then placed
on a slide with potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution and gently heated. This
solution slowly dissolves the skin cells but not the yeast cells. The yeast
cells can then be seen with a microscope. Color stains may be used so that the
yeast cells are easier to see.
If a person has white patches in the
mouth or on the tongue, a KOH test may be done to find out whether the person
has thrush.
Findings of a KOH test may include the
No yeast or other fungi are present in the sample from the
person's mouth.
Yeast or other fungi are present in the sample from the
person's mouth.
In general, a KOH test is not
needed to diagnose thrush. A doctor usually can diagnose thrush by looking at
the white patches in a person's mouth.
Complete the medical test information form (PDF)(What is a PDF document?) to help you prepare for this test.

EXETER — The Exeter Theater Company (ETC) has named Dianne Wieler of Exeter and Allison Battles of Plaistow as chairs of the IOKA Century Campaign, which will raise $4.6 million to purchase, renovate, and reopen the historic IOKA Theater in downtown Exeter.
"We couldn't ask for a stronger fundraising team," said ETC board chair Tony Callendrello. "Dianne and Allison each bring a unique set of skills to the project that will allow us to simultaneously pursue community, corporate, and foundation support.
Dianne Wieler has held positions at Leadership Vancouver, the Canadian Breast Cancer Society and Simon Fraser University, in Vancouver, Canada. She is an active member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and has held the positions of Membership Chair and Corresponding Secretary. Currently she is the GFWC NH State Chair for Public Policy. She has served on the board of Rockingham Community Action and the local Head Start Policy Council. Most recently she spearheaded a successful campaign to stop the closure of the Newmarket and Epping Head Starts.
"As an Exeter resident for the past eight years, I have heard many heart warming stories about first dates and fun family times at the IOKA," said Wieler, "it's an honor to play a role in making the IOKA the jewel of Exeter once again."
Allison has worked at Phillips Exeter Academy for the last seven years in the Office of Institutional Advancement. She earned her BA in English at UNH in 2002 and is currently working toward her MBA in Marketing at Southern New Hampshire University.
"In my interactions with alumni of Phillips Exeter and members of the Exeter community," said Battles, "I've learned what a valuable part of the community the IOKA once was and what it can be once again."

precisely. this is what CC always does and in most cases the updated becomes a disappointment.
somebody comes in and brags an update is coming. he promises it will be important/nice/great/bring new innovative things. and months later after no feedback whatsoever we end up with an update that could very well be nice on its own but the problem is that during the waiting period, because we lack any sort of information each of us starts thinking, dreaming and hoping only to realise that in the end the update is not what we wanted.
now i'm a seasoned veteran used to disappointment and broken promises but hope seems to be coded in the human dna and once i first read andy's post i immediately thought we'd get conditional borders or infected neutrals, or even both. other mapmakers probably thought of really lax supersize rules or even a new interface, or perhaps no more jpg compression on our maps.
regardless of which one of these gets implemented all others will fell at least a bit disappointed.
if there really is something tangible being worked on then i don't see how it would hurt telling us what it is.
