It goes without saying that good nutrition is essential to overall health. But for competitive athletes or others dedicated to their training program, good nutrition can be a make-or-break factor in their success. A good sports nutrition regimen is invaluable to the athlete, as it will support everything an athlete needs; strength, agility, endurance, mental sharpness, and a positive state-of-mind.
Sports nutrition supplements will always yield better results when used by those who have established a solid nutritional foundation. A good nutritional foundation needn't be complex or expensive, either; simply eating a well-rounded diet based on whole foods (vegetables, fruits, whole grains, healthy nuts and seeds, and lean proteins), plenty of water, and a few basic dietary supplements is a very good foundation. There are three types of foundational dietary supplements we recommend for every athlete and fitness-minded amateur. These 3 products supply the most essential nutrients everyone needs and will maximize the results seen with specialized sports nutrition supplements.
Multivitamin/mineral formula will cover all the vitamin and mineral bases. Men and women may want to take additional calcium and magnesium, since these are under-supplied by most multis, compared to other nutrients.
Omega-3 fatty acid supplements such as fish or flax oil, supply this indispensable nutrient which most multis and diets lack.
Protein powder is essential for the athlete who needs substantial amounts of protein. Protein powders provide fast, convenient, easy-to-absorb and 'cleaner' protein than protein from meats, fish, dairy, etc.
Deficiencies of any essential nutrient such as B-vitamins or iron can impede athletic performance. Deficiencies like these can be diagnosed by a health care provider, but most athletes simply take a few basic supplements like a multi and fish oil on a consistent basis to virtually eliminate the possibility of a deficiency of any one nutrient. Endurance athletes and vegetarian athletes in particular are strongly advised to use, at the very least, a multivitamin to protect against nutrient deficiencies for best possible health and performance. Other types of nutrients athletes may lack include electrolyte minerals to replace those lost through perspiration, antioxidants to help the body handle the increased oxidative load of intense training, and amino acids and protein which are needed to rebuild, strengthen and maintain tissue health. Additionally, female competitors and exercisers may want to consider a calcium supplement given calcium's importance to bone health and the fact that few multis provide robust amounts of calcium.
Caffeine and other thermogenic stimulants may help improve exercise endurance by boosting energy. It is important to be safe and use these and all dietary supplements as directed.
Antioxidants such as vitamin C, green tea extract and vitamin E may help the body recover from vigorous exercise by helping to neutralize damaging free radicals. These are typically supplied in only small amounts by multivitamins, making separate antioxidant supplements worth considering.
Creatine supplementation has been shown to help boost exercise performance in certain activities involving short bursts of intense exertion such as sprinting, jumping, basketball and weight lifting. Creatine has also been shown to help recovery from exercise, both speeding muscle repair and easing pain and soreness. In short, creatine has been one of the best sports nutrition supplements ever developed. Creatine is a natural and safe compound but seems to be misunderstood by many people. Creatine is not a hormone or a steroid or a stimulant. Unless you have liver or kidney disease, the chances are very good that you can use creatine. Of course, everyone should use creatine sensibly and according directions, but it's one of the very best and most legitimate sports nutrition supplements. Be sure to drink plenty of water when using creatine, or any other time you train for that matter.
Creatine is a key ingredient in many of the top pre-workout and post-workout formulas. Like their name suggests, pre-workout formulas get your body ready for training using proprietary formulas with unique combinations of ingredients, each specific to one product. Because of this, many people will want to try a several pre-workout products over the course of a few months to find which one is best. The 'proprietary blend' approach to ingredient labeling that pre and post-workout formulas use really isn't specific enough to evaluate the product. In most cases, users will simply have to try the product to see what kind of results it delivers. Most pre-workout formulas contain thermogenic stimulants but there are also several good stimulant-free choices also, such as the Lemonade flavor Fast Twitch by CytoSport.
Bars, protein shakes and meal replacements are convenient, often pre-portioned sources of fast nutrition. These products are especially useful for athletes with time limitations who may not always have time to prepare or select nutritious meals. Those wishing to gain weight may also find protein supplements and meal replacements to be a pleasant alternative to consuming large amounts of food. Bars, protein shakes and meal replacements should always be used in addition to, not in place of, a healthy and well-balanced diet.
When choosing a dietary supplement, beware of disreputable companies that make outrageous or false claims. Steer clear of manufacturers that use words like "amazing," "miraculous," or "secret," or that make promises that seem too good to be true (they probably are!). Look for well-established companies with a physical address (not just a P.O. box), and that have a diverse line of products, and can back up research claims with valid scientific studies. Studies conducted on dietary supplements should be done by a separate and trustworthy organization that has no monetary interest in the supplement manufacturer.
The performance of any athlete, whether professional or amateur, is greatly influenced by their nutritional status. A good diet is important, but cannot supply everything the body needs. A solid nutritional foundation would include a multivitamin, fish or flax oil and a good protein supplement. Onto that foundation, athletes can pick and chose among specialized supplements for their own circumstances, for example; pre-workout formulas and thermogenics for increased energy and intensity, glucosamine and other joint supplements, and creatine for increased muscular power in almost any sport. There are other types of products that could be considered sports nutrition supplements also, such as testosterone boosters and specialized types of amino acid supplements like BCAAs and glutamine. There are many products to consider and great results to be had when you find the combination that's right for you. Some people are hesitant to use sports nutrition supplements, possibly because of the taint from the illegal steroid controversies in professional sports. But relying on good nutrition for performance enhancement isn't cheating, it's the smart way to go.

As the result of many requests, I have decided to offer repair services on motherboards. The brand or model of your motherboard does not matter, as bad capacitors are not discriminative by brand. If the caps are bad, Badcaps.net can rebuild it! The only boards I do not work on are laptop boards....they are just a disaster and end up costing me more than I can make off them, so I simply do not accept them for repair.
In the column on the right are a few examples of Badcaps.net reworks. You will note the high-quality caps, correct sizes, and top-notch workmanship (ok, I'm a little proud of my work)! Some of these photos are over 4 years old, I am in the process of getting some newer photos in higher resolutions and on newer hardware.
Click the thumbnails for full size view. The full pictures open in a properly sized popup window, so you may need to disable any popup blockers to view. Don't worry, there is NO advertising on this site!! The item you click on is what's displayed!! No unwanted garbage!
Professional Recapping Services:
With every customer I've worked with in the past, one of the first questions they asked me was 'What exactly will you do to my motherboard?'
I do a complete updating of your board once I receive it. When it first arrives I clean it thoroughly, removing dust bunnies from the crevices. Its then connected to my test jig, and run through a battery of stress tests before I do any modifications to the board. This will answer a number of questions right off the bat, such as:
1) Does the board POST (Power On Self Test) 2) Is the BIOS the most current revision 3) Test stability within an operating system 4) Test long-term stability under a heavy load 5) Are bad capacitors the true problem, or are there other faults
After a close examination and bad capacitors are verified to be the problem, I mark and remove all the necessary capacitors 680uF and higher. Note that some model systems/boards use a mixture of low-quality junk capacitors and high-quality capacitors (Panasonic and/or Rubycon). If this is the case, it may not be necessary to replace them all, just the problematic ones. This is a very common occurrence on Dell and HP SFX systems such as GX and SX270's and SX280's. Rest assured, the high-end caps are checked for ESR values, and if they're the least bit questionable, they're replaced anyway.
After identifying and removing the bad caps, I then replace them with high-quality NEW capacitors. The motherboard is once again connected to the test jig and the BIOS is flashed with the latest revision (if necessary), and the abusive testing begins once again.
Using my self booting diagnostics utilities, I run it through a 24-hour constant burn-in cycle. Once it passes that, I'll look at it closely to make sure that nothing else on the board is failing. If it can pass my testing, there's not much more that one can dish out that it can't handle beyond the motherboard's design specs. Note that I DO NOT do any overclocking tests, or support any type of, or make any guarantees of overclocking success. I'm all for experimenting and overclocking, but I won't guarantee that when your board returns it will overclock any better than it did before. There are too many factors that equate into a successful overclock, and the motherboard is only one. However, when your board returns to you it will be as strong and solid as it was when you purchased it new. Once again, referring back to the VP6, just about every customer has reported their board was far more stable and overclocking friendly than it was when it was new.
I've been in the computer field since 1993, and in the electronics field since 1990. I owned a PC store for a great many of those years and have more worldly experience in this field than money and college could ever buy! You can rest assured that when your board comes home it will be back in tip-top shape again!! I offer a full warranty on the new capacitors to back this up!
Notice!!! ANY REPAIR NOT PAID FOR WITHIN 60 DAYS OF RECEIVING IT WITHOUT PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS WILL BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF!! I just can't keep these things longer than that, they do suck up a lot of shelf space that other repairs need!!

Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz is poised to become the first millennial to lead a European country following his party's victory in a national election Sunday.
While no party won a majority, the 31-year-old is most likely to be sworn in as Austria's next chancellor — and Europe's youngest leader — after the tough coalition government negotiations that lie ahead.
Austria's Sebastian Kurz Set to become World's Youngest Head of StateOct. 15, 201700:53
He defies the traditional stodgy image of politicians and mostly goes without a tie, works standing behind a desk and flies economy class. He has a girlfriend, but is private about his life outside politics.
Near-final results from Sunday's balloting put his conservative People's Party comfortably in first place, with 31.4 percent of the vote. The right-wing Freedom Party came in second with 27.4 percent. The center-left Social Democratic Party of Austria, which now governs in coalition with People's Party, got 26.7 percent.
Becoming head of government would be the next leap in a political career that started eight years ago when Kurz, then studying law, was elected chairman of his party's youth branch.
Smart and articulate, he eventually caught the eye of People's Party elders. He was appointed state secretary for integration, overseeing government efforts to make immigrants into Austrians, in 2011. Two years later, at the age of 27, he became Austria's foreign minister — the youngest top diplomat in Europe.
He hosted several rounds of talks between Iran and six other countries on Tehran's nuclear program, meeting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Secretary of State John Kerry and other power-brokers. Other international events further boosted his visibility and party influence.
When a new wave of migrants and refugees seeking to relocate to Europe became a continent-wide concern in 2015, Kurz recognized Austrian voters' anxiety over unchecked immigration involving large numbers of Muslim newcomers.
He called for tougher external border controls, better integration and stringent control of "political Islam" funded from abroad. He also organized the shutdown of the popular overland route through the West Balkans many newcomers were using to reach the EU's prosperous heartland.
Kurz and his traditionally centrist party had drifted considerably to the right of their Social Democratic government partners, making governing difficult. Kurz's moment came when both agreed this spring to an early national election.
The People's Party, then lagging in third place and long seen as a stodgy old boys network, made him leader. Kurz set out to reinvent the party's image after securing guarantees for unprecedented authority.
The youthful, Vienna-born politician turned out to be the tonic the party needed, helping it shrug off criticism that it's been part of the political establishment for decades.
Noting that his center-right party had triumphed over the rival Social Democrats only twice since the end of World War II, Kurz called Sunday's election a "historic victory."

Story highlights
The U.S. hasn't determined whether the strike's target was killed
The target is described as a "senior leader" affiliated with al Qaeda and Al-Shabaab
An October U.S. raid to capture an Al-Shabaab leader was aborted
The U.S. military conducted an airstrike in southern Somalia on Sunday against a suspected militant leader, a U.S. military official told CNN.
The target was described by the official as a "senior leader" affiliated with al Qaeda and Al-Shabaab, al Qaeda's affiliate in Somalia.
The United States has not yet been able to determine whether the target was killed, the official said.
Last October, the elite U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six aborted a pre-dawn raid in southern Somalia to capture Al-Shabaab leader Ikrima after an intense firefight prevented them from reliably taking him alive, a senior U.S. official told CNN at the time.
In a second raid that same weekend, members of the U.S. Army Delta Force captured Abu Anas al Libi, an al Qaeda operative wanted for his alleged role in the deadly 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa, during an operation in the Libyan capital of Tripoli.
The U.S. military official said Sunday's strike involved missiles. No U.S. troops were on the ground.
Al-Shabaab, designated a terrorist organization by the United States, has a relationship with al Qaeda that goes back several years. In 2012, the two groups effectively merged, said CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen.
Bergen: How Al-Shabaab picks its targets
Al-Shabaab hopes to turn Somalia into a fundamentalist Islamic state but has launched attacks in other countries as well.
In 2010, Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for two suicide bombings in Kampala, Uganda, amid crowds of soccer fans watching televised screenings of the World Cup final. The bombings left 74 people dead.
The group said at the time the attacks were retaliation for Ugandan participation in the African Union Mission in Somalia, known as AMISOM. One AMISOM goal is to support Somali government forces in cracking down on Al-Shabaab.
Al-Shabaab has also mounted many smaller attacks against targets in Kenya, hurling hand grenades into nightclubs, restaurants and schools. The group has also kidnapped tourists and aid workers.
The group claimed responsibility for the September siege of the Westgate mall in Nairobi on September 21 that killed at least 67 people.
Al-Shabaab said the attack was retaliation for Kenya's involvement in the African Union effort against the group.
In recent months, Al-Shabaab's haven in south-central Somalia has been increasingly squeezed as Kenyan forces fight the group from the south and African Union forces come down from Mogadishu, the Somali capital.

Information on the Execution of Byron Ashley Parker
On November 27, 2001, the Superior Court of Douglas County filed an execution order, setting the seven-day window in which the execution of Byron Ashley Parker may occur to open at noon, December 11, 2001, and close at noon, December 18, 2001. The Commissioner of the Department of Corrections scheduled Parker's execution to take place at 7:00pm on December 11, 2001. Parker had concluded his direct appeal from his Douglas County criminal case as well as one state and one federal habeas corpus case. The scheduled execution of Parker was carried out at approximately 7:26pm on Tuesday, December 11, 2001.
Parker's Crimes
Bryon Ashley Parker was sentenced to death for the malice murder of Christy Ann Griffith in Douglas County on or about June 1, 1984. On direct appeal, the Georgia Supreme Court found the following facts: The 11-year-old victim in this case disappeared on June 1, 1984. Foul play was soon suspected. Law enforcement officers questioned a number of persons residing in the trailer park where the victim had lived -- including Parker, who was questioned on June 5, and again on June 6. He signed a consent-to-search form on June 6. Officers searched Parker's house on June 6, but found nothing relating to any possible criminal activity except for a small amount of marijuana.
Because Parker's statements regarding his whereabouts at the time the victim disappeared were not entirely consistent, and because the investigators learned that Parker had earlier been charged in an incident involving a young girl in Florida, they began to focus their attention on Parker as a suspect. Parker was asked if he would be willing to take a polygraph examination the next day (June 7). Although Parker assented to the test, he failed to show up for the examination.
Parker had been convicted earlier on felony charges and was placed on probation in Fulton County on May 15, 1984. The probation was transferred to Douglas County that day, and he was scheduled to meet with his assigned Douglas County probation officer on June 1. He failed to appear then, but he did meet his probation officer on June 5, and asked for permission to leave the state.
After Parker failed to appear for the polygraph examination on the morning of June 7, two warrants were issued for his arrest; one charged him with the misdemeanor offense of possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, and the other was for a violation of the terms and conditions of his probation in that he "failed to appear as directed to the Douglas County Probation Office."
Parker was arrested on these warrants. After talking further with law enforcement officers, he told them he would take a polygraph examination, provided that he was allowed to talk to his attorney beforehand.
Parker had called an attorney prior to his arrest and had made arrangements to meet him that day. Now Parker called him again, and the attorney met him at the FBI Atlanta office, where the examination was to take place.
The attorney (who did not represent the defendant at trial) testified that he told Parker that Parker could not be required to take the test, but Parker answered that if he did not, his probation would be revoked and he would be "put in jail for five years . . . on that marijuana charge." The attorney testified he then talked to the sheriff who "indicated" to him that if "Parker could clear himself at that particular time with this polygraph test, . . . he could go on home."
The attorney testified that he discussed the situation with Parker, who adamantly denied any involvement in the disappearance of the girl. They agreed, then, that Parker should go ahead and take the examination.
As the attorney left, he indicated "to them that I was not going to sit in on this, I would be at my home, and as soon as this is completed for someone to call me."
The sheriff confirmed that he had discussed the marijuana warrant with the attorney. He testified he had told the attorney, "I can't promise you anything, . . . but if this young man passes the test . . . I'll go to the district attorney and ask him, you know, explain to him the situation and ask him to cause the warrant to be dismissed." He denied discussing the probation warrant and denied threatening Parker with five years of prison if he refused to take the examination. He explained that the probation warrant was issued from another county, and that it was for failing to appear according to the terms and conditions of his probation, and that the sheriff therefore had no control over that situation.
Parker took the polygraph examination. The examiner wanted to conduct another test before he could come to any final conclusions, but the examiner did tell the sheriff that, not withstanding his answers, Parker knew where the body was. [Footnote omitted].
Parker was returned to Douglas County. He talked briefly to a couple of law enforcement officers, and then Parker was allowed to talk to his mother and two sisters, for about half an hour. Afterwards, he was again given Miranda warnings and the interrogation resumed.
The sheriff testified that, in accordance with the attorney's request, he and Parker attempted to call the attorney, at his office and at his home. He testified: "[Parker] tried, you know, one or more times. I tried several times because Parker was being interviewed, and I did not reach [the attorney] until after I had discovered the remains of [the victim]. So it could have been 2:00 or 3:00 o'clock in the morning, but I had tried up to near midnight at both numbers and failed to reach him." The state asked the sheriff whether the attorney had ever asked or directed the sheriff to refrain from talking to Parker. The sheriff answered that he had not.
At approximately midnight, Parker admitted responsibility for the victim's disappearance, and agreed to reveal the location of the body. He drew a map, which law enforcement officers used to find the body. Afterwards, Parker was interrogated again; this time the confession was tape-recorded.
Parker v. State, 256 Ga. 543-45, 350 S.E.2d 570 (1986).
The Trial
Parker was indicted by the Douglas County grand jury on July 17, 1984, for the malice murder, rape and kidnapping of Christy Ann Griffith. At a jury trial on November 5-9, 1984, Parker was found guilty of murder and rape, and a judgment of nolle prosequi was entered on the kidnapping count. The jury found the existence of three statutory aggravating circumstances: one O.C.G.A. § 17-10-30(b)(7) circumstance and two (b)(2) circumstances, i.e., the murder was committed during the commission of the capital felonies of kidnapping with bodily injury and rape, and fixed the sentence for murder as death. The trial court imposed a consecutive life sentence for rape. On appeal the Georgia Supreme Court adjudicated some issues but remanded the case for further proceedings on the admissibility of Parker's custodial statements. Parker v. State, 255 Ga. 167, 336 S.E.2d 242 (1985). After the remand, the state appellate court affirmed the murder conviction and death sentence, but set aside the rape conviction because the trial court erroneously declined to charge on child molestation as a lesser included offense. Parker v. State, 256 Ga. 543, 350 S.E.2d 570 (1986), cert. denied, 480 U.S. 940, reh'g denied 481 U.S. 1060 (1987). The death sentence was affirmed based upon the (b)(2) kidnapping with bodily injury aggravating circumstance, while the other two circumstances were set aside: the (b)(7) due to instructional error and the (b)(2) based on rape since the rape conviction itself was reversed. Id. at 551.
The State Habeas Corpus Case
Parker filed a habeas corpus petition in Butts County Superior Court on July 24, 1987, and subsequently amended the petition while he also pursued a freedom of information act request in Washington, D.C., for documents from the F.B.I. Evidentiary hearings were held on March 26, 1990; May 21, 1990; July 19, 1990; and March 9, 1992. Relief was denied on May 5, 1995, in an unpublished order. The Georgia Supreme Court denied Parker's application for certificate of probable cause to appeal on May 24, 1996. Certiorari was denied on December 16, 1996. Parker v. Zant, 519 U.S. 1043 (1996).
The Federal Habeas Corpus Case
On November 15, 1996, Parker filed a federal habeas corpus petition in the United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia. On August 13, 1999, the district court denied relief. Parker was granted permission to appeal on six issues, but he pursued only four in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The briefing schedule was stayed pending decision by the United States Supreme Court on a particular issue. In an opinion entered March 15, 2001, the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of relief. Parker v. Head, 244 F.3d 831 (11th Cir. 2001). Rehearing was denied on May 31, 2001. Parker v. Head, 260 F.3d 628 (11th Cir. 2001). The United States Supreme Court denied certiorari on November 26, 2001..

USDA Designates 7 Counties in South Carolina as Primary Natural Disaster Areas With Assistance to Surrounding States
USDA Designates 7 Counties in South Carolina as Primary Natural Disaster Areas With Assistance to Surrounding States
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2013 — The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has designated seven counties in South Carolina as primary natural disaster areas due to damages and losses caused by the recent drought.
The counties are:
Barnwell, Chesterfield, Kershaw, York, Cherokee, Greenville, Spartanburg
"Our hearts go out to those South Carolina farmers and ranchers affected by recent natural disasters," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "President Obama and I are committed to ensuring that agriculture remains a bright spot in our nation's economy by sustaining the successes of America's farmers, ranchers, and rural communities through these difficult times. We're also telling South Carolina producers that USDA stands with you and your communities when severe weather and natural disasters threaten to disrupt your livelihood."
Farmers and ranchers in the following counties in South Carolina also qualify for natural disaster assistance because their counties are contiguous. Those counties are:
Abbeville, Anderson, Darlington, Laurens, Orangeburg, Sumter, Aiken, Bamberg, Fairfield, Lee, Pickens, Union, Allendale, Chester, Lancaster, Marlboro, Richland
Farmers and ranchers in the following counties in Georgia and North Carolina also qualify for natural disaster assistance because their counties are contiguous. Those counties are:
Georgia: Burke
North Carolina: Anson, Henderson, Rutherford, Cleveland, Mecklenburg, Transylvania,Gaston, Polk, Union
All counties listed above were designated natural disaster areas Jan. 30, 2013, making all qualified farm operators in the designated areas eligible for low interest emergency (EM) loans from USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA), provided eligibility requirements are met. Farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. FSA has a variety of programs, in addition to the EM loan program, to help eligible farmers recover from adversity.
The Obama Administration remains committed to helping the thousands of farm families and businesses struggling with natural disasters. Actions taken by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack in 2012 to provide assistance to producers impacted by the drought included:
Extended emergency grazing on Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres, freeing up a record 2.8 million acres and as much as $200 million in forage and feed for ranchers during a challenging time. Purchased $170 million of pork, lamb, chicken, and catfish for federal food nutrition assistance programs, including food banks, to help relieve pressure on American livestock producers and bring the nation's meat supply in line with demand. Reduced the emergency loan rate, from 3.75 percent to 2.25 percent, as well as making emergency loans available earlier in the season. Allowing haying or grazing of cover crops without impacting the insurability of planted 2013 spring crops. USDA worked with crop insurance companies to provide flexibility to farmers, and one-third of all policyholders took advantage of the extended payment period. Authorized $16 million in existing funds from the Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP) and Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) to target states experiencing exceptional and extreme drought. Transferred $14 million in unobligated program funds into the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) to help farmers and ranchers rehabilitate farmland damaged by natural disasters and for carrying out emergency water conservation measures in periods of severe drought. Authorized haying and grazing of Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) easement areas in drought-affected areas where haying and grazing is consistent with conservation of wildlife habitat and wetlands. Lowered the penalty on CRP acres used for emergency haying or grazing, from 25 percent to 10 percent in 2012. Simplified the Secretarial disaster designation process and reduced the time it takes to designate counties affected by disasters by 40 percent.
Additional programs available to assist farmers and ranchers include the Emergency Conservation Program, Federal Crop Insurance, and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program. Interested farmers may contact their local USDA Service Centers for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs. Additional information is also available online at http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov.
Secretary Vilsack also reminds producers that Congress has not funded the five disaster assistance programs authorized by the 2008 Farm Bill.These are SURE; the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP); the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-Raised Fish (ELAP); the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP); and the Tree Assistance Program (TAP). Production losses due to disasters occurring after Sept. 30, 2011, are not eligible for disaster program coverage.

Help Name This Action!
I already have three tinted B&W actions that have a similar (yet different enough to write a new one) effect, ButterCream, Mocha Velvet, and Toasted Coconut, so maybe something along that line? I think this is my favorite tinted B&W action yet!!! I love how there are so many ways to make a creamy tinted B&W edit.

Active Shooter Protocol
Please adhere to response procedures below for responding to an active shooter in your building. If you can evacuate the area, please do so in as safe a manner as possible.
Secure your immediate area
- Lock and/or barricade doors with any available object(s) (chairs, tables, desks, etc).
- Turn off lights.
- Close blinds.
- Block windows.
- Turn off computer monitors.
- Keep occupants calm, quiet, and out of sight by laying low to the ground.
- Keep yourself out of sight and take adequate cover/protection (i.e. concrete walls, desks, chairs, tables, filing cabinets, etc.). Such cover may protect you from injury.
- Silence cell phones.
- Place signs in exterior windows to identify the location of injured persons.
Contact Authorities
- Dial 911 or 9-9-1-1 from any campus telephone. Be aware that the 911 system will likely be overwhelmed.
- Program the Campus Security emergency line into cell phone for emergency use. Extension 4444 or 366.4444 (emergency line).
What to Report
- Your specific location- building name and office/room number.
- Number of people at your specific location.
- Injuries- number injured, types of injuries.
- Assailant(s)- location, number of suspects, race/gender, clothing description, physical features, type of weapon(s) (long gun or handgun), backpack, shooter's identity if known, separate explosions from gunfire, etc.
Un-Securing an area
- Responding special forces will assist in un-securing and rescuing victims who are locked down; Consider risks before un-securing rooms.
- Remember, the shooter will not stop until he/she is engaged by an outside force.
- Attempts to rescue people should only be attempted if it can be accomplished without further endangering the persons inside a secured area.
- Consider the safety of masses –vs- the safety of a few.
- If doubt exists for the safety of the individuals inside the room, the area should remain secured.
Security Response
- If possible, limit suspect(s) movement(s) by securing all unaffected buildings; evacuate victims to safety; provide master keys and logistical support to responding special forces and emergency medical services.
- Facilitate basic first aid or triage injured victims, if possible.
- Assist law enforcement authorities with investigation.

This stew is based on one made with ground lamb in Mediterranean Hot and Spicy. I don't usually cook with black-eyed peas, and don't think I've had many dishes where they were a main component — usually I've experienced them as a side dish. This stew was bursting with flavor and, according to Lisa, was even better the next day as delicious leftovers for lunch.
Chris says:
Oh, I love the spices in this. The flavors are awesome.
Lisa says:
Yeah I really like all the different ways we're finding to use the chard in our CSA box.
Chris says:
I want to make this with lamb some time, but actually, it really works with the ground turkey.
Lisa says:
I think it's great with the turkey — I just haven't been in a lamby mood lately.
Chris says:
Well don't feel baa-aa-aa-aad; this is definitely one of those recipes that'll enter the rotation.
Lisa says:
I only feel "baa-aa-aa-aad" for anyone reading this who had to put up with that pun.
Black-Eyed Pea, Ground Turkey, and Chard Stew
1 cup dried black-eyed peas
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 lb ground turkey
2 tbsp red pepper paste
1 cup canned chopped tomatoes, with juice
pinch of hot red pepper flakes
1 cup vegetable stock
leaves from 1 bunch of chard, coarsely chopped
In a medium saucepan, cover the black-eyed peas with water by 2 inches, bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes. Drain, add fresh water just to cover the peas, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until just tender. Drain once again.
In a dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion, salt to taste, and saute for four minutes until tender. Add the turkey and saute until firm and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add the pepper paste and stir for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes, black-eyed peas, and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the peas are very tender. Add the chard and toss to wilt. If the dish is watery, increase the heat and stir until mostly evaporated. Adjust seasonings, and serve.

These notes and example programs augment the introductory Compiler Construction course given by Dr. Mycroft. The course itself covers the fundamental principles, and some of the practice, of implementing compilers in a modern language.
This webpage builds on this with working examples showing how modern compiler tools (ANTLR) and modern implementation language (C#) can be used to construct a compiler for a simple high-level C-like language, and targetting the recently-introduced DotNet intermediate language from Microsoft.
A report going into further details of the programs presented here is available.
The first example presented here shows the output of three compilers and their target languages. All example source and target code is available for download.
#include <stdio.h> int main( void ) { puts( "Hello World!" ); return 0; }
When compiled with GCC for a PowerPC processor running Mac OSX, the output is:
.data .cstring .align 2 LC0: .ascii "Hello World!\0" .text .align 2 .globl _main _main: mflr r0 stmw r30,-8(r1) stw r0,8(r1) stwu r1,-80(r1) mr r30,r1 bcl 20,31,L1$pb L1$pb: mflr r31 addis r3,r31,ha16(LC0-L1$pb) la r3,lo16(LC0-L1$pb)(r3) bl L_puts$stub li r0,0 mr r3,r0 lwz r1,0(r1) lwz r0,8(r1) mtlr r0 lmw r30,-8(r1) blr .data .picsymbol_stub L_puts$stub: .indirect_symbol _puts mflr r0 bcl 20,31,L0$_puts L0$_puts: mflr r11 addis r11,r11,ha16(L_puts$lazy_ptr-L0$_puts) mtlr r0 lwz r12,lo16(L_puts$lazy_ptr-L0$_puts)(r11) mtctr r12 addi r11,r11,lo16(L_puts$lazy_ptr-L0$_puts) bctr .data .lazy_symbol_pointer L_puts$lazy_ptr: .indirect_symbol _puts .long dyld_stub_binding_helper
Again, here is the basic hello world program in Java:
public class Hello { public static void main( String[] args ) { System.out.print( "Hello world.\n" ); } }
The Java compiler, javac, compiles this into JVM bytecodes, which are then interpreted by the Java runtime. For this example, note the difference in the number of instructions in the program compared to the native-compiled C example above.
Method Hello() 0 aload_0 1 invokespecial #1 <Method java.lang.Object()> 4 return Method void main(java.lang.String[]) 0 getstatic #2 <Field java.io.PrintStream out> 3 ldc #3 <String "Hello world. "> 5 invokevirtual #4 <Method void print(java.lang.String)> 8 return
Far fewer instructions. Why is this?
Finally, here is the C# version and the corresponding DotNet Intermediate Code:
using System; public class HelloApp { public static void Main() { Console.WriteLine( "Hello World!" ); } }
The Java compiler, javac, compiles this into JVM bytecodes, which are then interpreted by the Java runtime. For this example, note the difference in the number of instructions in the program compared to the native-compiled C example above.
.class public auto ansi beforefieldinit HelloApp extends [mscorlib]System.Object { .method public hidebysig static void Main() cil managed { .entrypoint // Code size 11 (0xb) .maxstack 1 IL_0000: ldstr "Hello World!" IL_0005: call void [mscorlib]System.Console::WriteLine(string) IL_000a: ret } // end of method HelloApp::Main .method public hidebysig specialname rtspecialname instance void .ctor() cil managed { // Code size 7 (0x7) .maxstack 1 IL_0000: ldarg.0 IL_0001: call instance void [mscorlib]System.Object::.ctor() IL_0006: ret } // end of method HelloApp::.ctor } // end of class HelloApp
Note that this is a subset of the output of the disassembler showing just the actual executable code.
From this point on we will use C# and DotNet as the implementation language and the target code respectively. To compile and run these examples you will need some form of DotNet runtime. There are currently two main versions:
The basic requirement is a C# compiler and the DotNet runtime. There are two versions available, the commercial version, and the research-oriented ROTOR project. There is a free, cut-down, version of the commercial version, and ROTOR is free.
The Mono Project is creating an open-source implementation of the C# and DotNet runtime as defined by the ECMA Standards that describe them. It has been ported to many operating systems, notably Linux, Mac OSX and Windows.
Two versions of the basic exeercise are presented, one using the recursive-descent techniques presented in the lecture course, the other using the compiler-generator tool ANTLR.
Download files
To build the executable, you need a DotNet system installed (either Rotor or the full version). Then compile the application with:
csc 4calc.cs
and run with:
clix 4calc.exe
Enter expressions as you would expect, terminating each expressions with ';' (they can span multiple lines) and hit Return to evaluate them and display the result. To quit, enter Ctrl-D followed by Return.
This is a version of the 4-function calculator using ANTLR to generate a lexer and parser automatically from grammer rules.
Download files
You will need to install ANTLR before you can compile and run this example. How you achieve this will depend on which platform you are running on. For Rotor on MAC OSX, you cannot compile up the parts of the ANTLR runtime that use the Windows Forms libraries, which are not included in Rotor.
The user interface is exactly the same as for the hand-written parser version. However the internal operation is completely different. Whereas the earlier version computed intermediate results as soon as a rule was matched (e.g., "1+2" -> 3) the ANTLR-generated version first constructs a parse-tree of the input, and only then does the tree walker traverse the tree bottom-up computing the result.

Elisa is a simple C-like language with sufficient constructs to be able to write working programs that demonstrate the basics of a compiler. It is not meant to be a fully-developed programming language to write the next greatest operating system, but it could form the start of many student projects to build compilers or code analysers.
The Elisa language has a few simple operators, integers and arrays of integers, and functions.
The compiler itself consists of a handful of files, brought together by a Makefile:
|The main compiler driver: processes command line flags, then calls the parser and code generator.
|This is the code generator interface, which defines the functionality that a code generator must provide.
|A specific instance of the Code Generator class which generates DotNet output.
|Type, symbol, and symbol table classes.
|The ANTLR lexer and grammar file for Elisa. As for the four-function calculator above, this single file encompasses the lexer, the parser, and the parse tree walker.
The syntax of Elisa looks very much like C (or any other Algol-derived programming language). It has:
// Integer bubblesort // Takes an array of integers and the number of elements in the array // and sorts them in-place int bubblesort(int a[], int n) { int t; int i; int done; done = 0; while (!done) { i = 1; done = 1; while (i < n) { if (a[i - 1] > a[i]) { done = 0; t = a[i - 1]; a[i - 1] = a[i]; a[i] = t; } i = i + 1; } } return 0; }
Note, there is already a simplified C compiler example project in the ROTOR package, called MyC, as well as a simplified LISP interpreter/compiler. You might wish to compare the compiler for Elisa with the MyC compiler.
LCC is an open-source ANSI-compliant C compiler described in the book A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation. The compiler is about 20,000 lines of uncommented C (about 11,000 for the compiler front-end, and then a few thousand lines for each backend target code generator), so you need the book (which actually does a good job of explaining the compiler, even though the book is written for version 3.6 of the compiler).
Version 4.2 now has a DotNet backend, which is a separate download from the MS site due to licensing issues.
This is/was a subset-C compiler developed to help teach advanced compiler technology at St. Petersburg State University IT Research Institute.
ANTLR is a tool for automagically generating recognizers, compilers and translators (the acronym stands for ANother Tool for Language Recognition). It generates tools in Java, C# or C++, and there is considerable support for this tool (i.e., lots of goodies to download). There are ready-made parsers for many languages: Gnu C, Ada, HTML, Java, Verilog, Pascal, SQL, C++, VRML, and so on.
Grammatica is another parser generator, in the same vein as ANTLR. It generates Java or C# parsers, and seems quite a nice little package. It generates LL(k) (top-down) parsers with better error message handling.

The difference is in how we more informally say 'it is your (or her or his or my) responsibility'. It may seem strange, but BrE and AmE look like they're complete opposites on this one. In BrE, one can say It's down to you to mean 'it's your responsibility to do that', whereas AmE would say it's up to you.
One does see it's up to you in BrE to mean 'it's your responsibility', or more specifically (as in AmE) 'it's your choice'. It's common enough in BrE that the OED marks it as just 'originally' AmE. There are two examples of It's up to you in the British National Corpus (accessed through corpus.byu.edu), both with this 'choice' sense:
I've done it and er I mean it's up to you as to which date you choose. [spoken in a meeting]But all the ones that are straight responsibility meanings are it's down to you in the BNC (10 hits):
"Well, it's up to you of course, Mr Dakin, but this is the third time I've had to stitch her teats and I'm afraid it's going to keep on happening." [from James Herriot's Vets might fly]
But if they get arrested it's down to you. [conversation](Of course there may also be examples of it'll be down to you or whether you do it is down to you or it's down to her or it's down to Nigel, etc. Searching for a single set phrase made it easier to avoid senses of down to that have nothing to do with responsibility.)
Unless you're a tenant, it's down to you to make sure gas appliances receive the regular expert servicing they need. [advert]
Between now and Sunday it's down to you to decide that you definitely want to go ahead [speech]
Meanwhile, in AmE, the Corpus of Contemporary American English has 398 hits for it's up to you and only one for it's down to you--and in that (fictional) context it might have just meant 'you're the only one left' (hard to tell--the responsibility meaning or the 'only you' meaning would both fit in the context).
So, up and down. Why are two opposite words used to mean the same thing? Because figurative language is slippery stuff, that's why. The OED tells us that up to [someone] is from the game of poker (traced to 1896), and is in general use from 1913. In the poker context it means basically 'it's your turn to make a decision and act on it'. So, it's sort of 'we've got(ten) up to you in the series of people who need to act in this game'. (One could have seen it going the other way, with one going 'down' the list of people whose turn it would be next. But poker is a game of escalation, so it doesn't seem surprising to me that the turn-taking metaphor goes upward.)
The BrE down to [someone] is only traced back to 1970 in the OED. One can see how this might come about from the 'there's no one else left' reading of down to (as in we're down to one candle). It's down to you says that, for the purpose of its context, the people who could have responsibility for something are reduced to one: you.
From my non-native perspective, it seems to me that up to and down to have different connotations in BrE--up to being choice and down to being serious responsibility. AmE doesn't make any such distinction and has up to for both.
It's down/up to you to tell us what you think.

A Call for Justice and Mercy
1In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Chislev. 2Now the people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech and their men to entreat the favor of the Lord, 3saying to the priests of the house of the Lord of hosts and the prophets, "Should I weep and abstain in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years?"
4Then the word of the Lord of hosts came to me: 5"Say to all the people of the land and the priests, When you fasted and mourned in the fifth month and in the seventh, for these seventy years, was it for me that you fasted? 6And when you eat and when you drink, do you not eat for yourselves and drink for yourselves? 7Were not these the words that the Lord proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and prosperous, with her cities around her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?"
8And the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying, 9"Thus says the Lord of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another, 10do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor, and let none of you devise evil against another in your heart." 11But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder and stopped their ears that they might not hear.1 12They made their hearts diamond-hard lest they should hear the law and the words that the Lord of hosts had sent by his Spirit through the former prophets. Therefore great anger came from the Lord of hosts. 13"As I2 called, and they would not hear, so they called, and I would not hear," says the Lord of hosts, 14"and I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations that they had not known. Thus the land they left was desolate, so that no one went to and fro, and the pleasant land was made desolate."
