Yachting's public image picked up yet another public black eye this week in the UK, where once again, people who sail look like entitled douches. In this case, low-income contract workers at one of the world's most prestigious art galleries were asked in a letter to contribute to buying a yacht for an outgoing executive – gallery director Nick Serota. Known as a 'leaving gift', the English tradition calls for grateful employees to contribute a few bucks for a usually small office gift to show their appreciation for a job well done. But in this case, someone thought it was a good idea to ask hundreds of contract employees to buy a yacht for a guy who makes over $200,000 a year while salary and pay negotiations are ongoing for the rest of the company. As the Times reports:
Pay negotiations have been tense. One trade union claimed that even after wage increases proposed by the museum group, staff pay would range from 15,707 pounds to 23,695 pounds, or about $20,230 to $30,520. By contrast, Mr. Serota made almost £200,000 in 2016-17, a Tate spokesman said.
Trade unions and workers' rights advocates also complain that some people working at the Tate group's museums via outside contracting companies are subject to so-called zero-hours contracts, in which their employers do not guarantee a minimum amount of work a week. As a result, these workers do not have dependable income.
At the Tate Modern art gallery, along the River Thames in London, two employees, who declined to give their names but wore Tate uniforms and identification lanyards, said workers had initially thought the request for donations was a joke.
To mock the letter, one said, workers made a paper boat and affixed it to the note.

With Twin Peaks (one of the ultimate cult favorite TV shows) set to return this spring after something like a 50-year hiatus, our brains were already tuned to the word "Peak". Fortunate that a sailing documentary popped up the other day with just one more peak…and a great cast of its own.
Dee Caffari stars as the celebrity with a target on her back in the Barmouth to Fort William Three Peaks Yacht Race – an event that includes both crewed racing and back country runs up some of the UK's biggest peaks. Enjoy this rare gem of a sailing documentary that looks good, tells a great story, and helps us get to know the characters in a quirky place and a quirky race. Sign up for the 2017 event here.

"The man bought the 14-foot dinghy on Saturday and then set off on his 3,500 mile voyage across the Atlantic…not wearing a life jacket, his boat had no lights and his only navigational aid was a street map of Southampton."
Seems like a good kit bag for most major voyages, right? But wait – that's not all. "He had a passport containing a US visa, hot dogs, beans and a bag of biscuits." Hot dogs? Beans and biscuits? Sounds like a fine transatlantic menu, as long as he's alone!
The Bulgarian man was not interesting in whatever the RNLI was selling. "When we reached the gentleman he didn't want us there, he wanted to carry on his way," refusing assistance for 45 minutes, after which "the crew dragged him on to their boat and took him to shore."
We can't be the only ones who really, really wanted to see how far he could get. If anyone runs into this guy, let him know that next time, Sailing Anarchy fund your YellowBrick tracker, an EPIRB, and some extra provisions…
Watch the video for the full 'rescue' and thanks to Brad T for the heads up.

One of the most interesting things to come out of an otherwise uneventful Moth Worlds was their sharing of this poignant story about Hayling Rescue's Frank Dunster. For an explanation of this enigmatic subject, we go to the film's co-creator, Jack Pollington. If you're motivated to contribute to such a wonderful effort, hit up Hayling Rescue on Facebook, and for more on the producers, go here.
This was a short documentary created by Alex Forbes and me as part of coursework for Farnham Film School. Frank runs a completely voluntary, non-profit life saving operation from Hayling Island Sailing Club. He is a vital part of what keeps that very busy and active club safe and running, year by year, and in thanks for that, the members of the club contribute to Hayling Rescue's upkeep in an annual fundraiser.

In heartbreaking news from England's South Coast, the body of one of Britain's top young sailors was found late last week near a car park in the New Forest. 17 year-old Jess Eales uploaded the pic you see at left to Facebook just hours before her death, which neither police nor coroners have explained, though news reports say they are not treating it as suspicious. There are only a few scenarios where a dead 17-year old in a car park in a forest isn't suspicious, but it shouldn't be long before we all know more so we'll just keep our mouths shut until the government has a chance to explain. Jess had celebrated her 17th birthday the day before she was found.
Jess had just returned from the Youth Worlds in Portugal, a rising star in skiffs and cats. We're told her sailing circles in the Lymington and Hayling Island communities are in shock; despite not knowing Jess, we're pretty shocked too. This shit isn't supposed to happen to 17 year olds.
We will update you when there is more information available. Until then, share your thoughts in the thread. As for the title, it's rare that Morrissey and sailing ever mix, but there's a first time for everything. NOTE: Don't click if you don't want to be even more depressed. It's a Smiths song, after all.

In what we can only imagine was a creative way to protest his rating, the 82-year old owner of the 31-foot cat Starquest destroyed about a third of the Emsworth Sailing Club's newly refurbished clubhouse last week. Apparently, Captain Clifford "John" Caughey took two practice runs in his Volvo before backing up and launching his car into the Club at around 70 mph. Since that was clearly not enough damage, the good Captain then got out of the car with a gas can and proceeded to douse the Volvo before setting it alight.
Caughey was taken to hospital before being arrested, and there were no other injuries besides those to one of the oldest sailing clubs in the world; it's already business as usual though at Emsworth; you just can't keep a good English sailor down. Full story here at the Telegraph, Mike Walker photo, and thanks to JB for the heads up.

According to several America's Cup designers, the wing-loving world owes a huge debt to the C-Class. Were it not for some 40 years of wingsail development in the C, they say, we'd probably still be decades away from wingsails on AC boats.
Fortunately, that's not the case, and here's your final look at the full, 17-minute video story of the 2013 Little America's Cup/International C-Class Catamaran Championship from Petey Crawford/Penalty Box Productions. Huge thanks to Magic Marine, Team Canada, Paterson Composites, Camera Lens Rentals, and Team Invictus for all your support!
If your interest has been piqued by this most awesome of all catamarans, be sure to hit the 2013 thread and ask the boys how you can get into the Class for the 2015 Little Cup in Lake Geneva. We'll be there, and we hope you will too.

With the Youtube video approaching a million views (making it one of the most-viewed sailing videos in the history of the interwebs), a Southampton magistrate yesterday dropped a cool £100,000 penalty on navy officer Roland Wilson for breaking three COLREGS requirements before scratching the Hanne Knutsen's anchor. (1) He failed to keep an adequate lookout, (2) he impeded a large vessel in a narrow channel, and (3) he impeded a vessel constrained by his draft.
The 100k (called 'costs' by the court) will likely be covered by Wilson's insurance policy, but he'll still need to come up with another 3 grand in fines. Wanna know more, or do you know more? Hit the thread. And before your next regatta in a TSS zone, you might want to read up on How To Avoid Huge Ships.

If the last few weeks has contributed to an obsessive need for you to watch foiling catamarans racing through big wind on your computer screen, we're happy to inform you that you'll have a full week of it coming up this Sunday with the Little America's Cup. Formally known as the International C-Class Catamaran Championship, the Little Cup will feature 11 teams from all over the world with some of the most advanced racing craft ever developed; in some ways far more advanced than the 'real' AC.
Clean, Mer, Petey and a cast of famous and not-so-famous guests are digging the On-The-Water Anarchy cameras out of the shed to bring you live, hilariously and expertly commentated video action from every race at the 2013 Little Cup, along with our infamous 'Cocktail Hour' live talk shows, piles of interviews, and highlight reels put together by some brilliant folks in the UK. We expect to have trackers, great photography and plenty of updating on Facebook, too. So keep watching here, and for everything C-Class, hit the 2013 International C-Class Championship thread and bring yourself up to speed. If Facebook is more your speed, Like the Little AC page here.
Like the Minista below, the UK's Team Invictus have had a tough road to the starting line. Here's the update from their skipper and the fastest sailor on the water – Paul Larsen:
Sunday: The start line is often the first finish line.
It's past midday on Sunday here in Bristol. The shed is full of various wing parts in heater inflated bubble tents. To say we are a bit late is a massive understatement.
This is yet another big ol' mission just to make it to the start line. I didn't want it, nobody did. I had no idea what I was walking into 13 days ago. Basically, for one reason or another, Helena and I walked in just as things had fallen apart. We had come to hopefully help a little bit to get the last bits together and help the team along. What confronted us was obviously going to require substantially more input. We had a main spar with the ribs attached to it… and that was it! No flaps, no moulds, no leading edge and no control systems/linkages'hinges… just CAD drawings.
My first reaction was to keep walking. This would mean that there would be no British boat at this event. That was unthinkable. We had to have a go. We went to the pub and began hatching plans. As long as there was a chance… we would have a go. We began pushing on.
None of us wanted to stand next to a piece of junk. It's obviously not going to be as good as it could be… but the old girl might be alright. The platform seems OK and there are some aspects of the wing that I am interested to see. We don't have the time to re-design everything to fit the schedule so there has to be some shooting from thew hip and acceptance of what we have.
Keep it in mind that this needs to be in Falmouth getting rigged on Tuesday.
We had to come up with a quick way to make a 3D curved leading edge so we used polystyrene blocks, a skilled carver and then Dan (from Independent Composites) did a great job of fairing and skinning. In fact Dan and the boys have been ripping into it. They made the large lower flap and have let us take over the workshop for the weekend.
Thankfully the National Composites Center (NCC) in Bristol did the MDF tooling for the top flap and Helena and I went and built that there with Nick Hewlings. The mould came off the machine last Wednesday afternoon. We used a quick method of sealing surfacing the mould involving putting the whole thing in a 'envelope' vacuum bag which we then sucked down onto the mould and used as a surface to actually laminate onto. Unbelievably… for some reason this bag sort of dissolved during the cure and is now structural i.e. part of the laminate. We were so lucky that it held its vacuum and that it didn't result in the part being permanently stuck in the mould. None of us have ever seen that before . So we'll be sailing around (hopefully) with a vacuum bag still on the upper flap.
We just don't have any time to get hung up on one process. It's all a bit mad. At times I wonder what the hell I am doing here. We shouldn't still be doing things this way. I guess when it all looked a bit too much I began to wonder if we really could do it. I'm still wondering.
The parts are all coming together. The flaps are a bit heavy but then we haven't finished cutting them down.
Anyway, here we are. It's getting warm in here. I'll let the pictures do the talking. The picture of us cutting out the holes in the lower flap was taken around lunchtime today.
Monday: All the big pieces are together. The little bits are turning up and the trailer just arrived. The Harken order is on the way direct to Falmouth and the Marlow order is still being chased. The daggerboards are curing under a heater just off camera.
Helena is trying to hook up live tracking. This will all be loaded in the trailer tonight and should be in Falmouth in the morning. It just has to be that way.
Tuesday: Invictus has once again… left the building. Well, actually there is still quite a bit of building to be done… but she's out of the shed anyway. This boat and this team, in one form or another, are why the event will be in the UK this year. We felt that she simply had to be down there mixing it up with her Brethren on home waters.
Goodbye Dan, Leighton Mitch and Nick from the NCC, thanks so much for going the extra mile and helping to get rid of us:) We still have a lot to do but the overall spirit in the team is good. We turned a corner. Let's see what happens now.
Next stop, Falmouth and the 2013 ICCCC.

Pastry term of the week: Kouing Aman
Kouing aman is a flaky, gooey and crunchy laminated pastry from Brittany, France, specifically Douarnenez. In Brittany, they use their amazing salted butter to give it the salted caramel flavor. Our version is loaded with fleur de sel from the region which makes the syrup between the layers less sweet and gives it a crunchy, salted caramel exterior. We love the different textures and flavors.
We started making them at Les Madeleines approximately 10 years ago, when they were still very obscure and not often found outside of Brittany. Not many patisseries in Paris were even making them then. Kouing aman immediately broke all the rules. Guests loved the pastry, even though they couldn't say the name and had never heard of them. The Kouing Aman quickly became our most popular item and found their way onto the pages of several national magazines and two Food Network programs.
[A note on spelling… the original recipe for kouing aman we found was spelled with an "ing" at the end, but it turns out that the "ign" ending is more common and you'll often see it spelled kouign a mann instead. This is because the Breton dialect Romanization was standardized in the early 1970s, the "ign" ending was adopted. We made a choice to stick with the spelling we found in the beginning as it is still used my many chefs for whom Romina has a tremendous amount of respect and admiration.]

The official RBA cash rate hasn't changed since May 2015. With interest rates stagnant, how can you find a good savings account? Here's what you need to know.
2 February 2016: Each month, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) sets the official cash rate, which influences the interest rates banks offer on savings accounts and loans. Today, the bank kept the rate at 2.00%, a figure that hasn't changed since May 2015. A low cash rate traditionally means that interest rates on savings accounts are also low, and experts surveyed by finder.com.au suggest that there's unlikely to be any change until mid-year. In that climate, how can you find a saving account deal that offers a decent rate of interest and other benefits?

The best way to find a great deal on a savings account is to compare accounts from a range of trusted banks, building societies and credit unions. Banks regularly offer incentives that include gift cards or sign up bonuses on a savings account. Just make sure you read the fine print and check what the interest rate will revert to once the introductory period comes to an end.
Bonus saver accounts typically have the highest interest rates assuming you can meet the conditions every month. The conditions will usually involve a deposit each month with no withdrawals. In some cases, you'll also need to an everyday transaction account with the same financial institution. So if you're looking to get the best savings rate and will to take that extra step, check out a few bonus saver accounts.
A bonus savings account can help you reach your financial aims really quickly in Australia's current economic state.

Nicaragua Executive Summary, Evaluation and monitoring of Poverty Reduction Strategies - 2003
Institute of Social Studies (ISS)
This report first reviews the conditions under which the Nicaraguan PRSP has been formulated and adopted, by giving a summary presentation of the political, economic and social context in the country at that time. This is followed by an analysis and evaluation of the public consultation process associated with the formulation of the ERCERP, by an evaluation of the poverty diagnosis underlying the strategy and of its contents. There follows an evaluation of the implementation of the strategy, paying particular attention to the management of public expenditure and to the monitoring mechanisms for the strategy. The role of donors is then analysed, some lessons are drawn and some recommendations made. This report is based on primary and secondary information collected between January and November 2003 by an ISS team and in the evaluation by the same team of the processes associated with the production of the Nicaraguan PRSP.

Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin has thrown 151 hits this year, and Flyers winger Chris VandeVelde is sure to remember the one he received on Tuesday. Emelin lined VandeVelde up perfectly and delivered a textbook body check that would make Scott Stevens proud.
Chris VandeVelde had to be sore when he woke up Wednesday morning.
Philadelphia's VandeVelde was carrying the puck down the wing Tuesday night with Montreal's Dale Weise giving chase. With Weise on his tail, VandeVelde lowered his head to keep his eye on the puck in order to chip it into the Canadiens zone. Someone should have told him that Montreal blueliner Alexei Emelin was charging hard, ready to light him up with a big, clean body check.
The hit by Emelin is a work of art, and one would expect nothing less from the Canadiens' hits leader. Emelin makes one quick cut in the direction of VandeVelde to line him up, loads up all the power in his legs and drives up through his body into the shoulder of the Flyers winger without leaving his feet.
Thankfully, VandeVelde was all right and skated away no worse for wear. Or at least we think. There's a good chance he needed to ice up his shoulders after the blast from Emelin.
The Canadiens downed the Flyers 2-1 in overtime thanks to a David Desharnais tally.

My husband's company does match but it's so little that I don't think even VB tell us it's worth keeping the money there. His company, while it pays the bills is a horrible company. They set unobtainable goals for this region. Based on how much money this region makes depends on if he will get a pay raise. Then they set yet another unobtainable goal for the company nation wide and that determines how much (if anything) they will contribute to employee's 401K's. This year it is 20 cents per dollar up to 6%. So they contribute $31.20 a year. If I take his % down to 1 he will remain active in the program and then we can boost it up to 6% should they ever really start matching.
As for the taxes, we are still in a VERY small tax bracket. My husband doesn't make that much per hour, and my federal standards we are just above poverty level. We have two kids so we qualify for EIC and child tax credits. I know those may not always be available, but for us, right now, it makes more sense to pay a little higher tax now and get the tax free money when we are older.
On a side note, we consulted with a VB approved financial planner and I was less than impressed. He suggested we take all of our 401K money and move it from the traditional 401K's and put it into a Roth IRA. Knowing we would take a huge hit in taxes and money loss. He was even pushy about it.

Contact: Laura Muma
CHICAGO, Nov. 20, 2013 – The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plans to update its Nutrition Facts label policies, which will impact nearly all food and beverage products marketed for retail sale and promoted in the United States. This sweeping change to update the 20-year-old guidelines presents challenges – and opportunities – that food and beverage companies will need to quickly understand and mobilize.
FoodMinds LLC, a food and nutrition consulting and communications agency, has partnered with Nutrition Impact LLC, a consulting firm that develops science-based messages about clients' products and services, and also analyzes dietary intake trends, and EAS Consulting Group LLC, a regulatory consulting company specializing in complex labeling and claims issues, to create Food Label Compass.
Food Label Compass harnesses the expertise of each firm to create a specialized suite of nutrition analysis, regulatory consulting and strategic services to guide food and beverage companies in understanding the impact, complying, communicating, and capitalizing on the new FDA guidelines. Food Label Compass will provide companies with three essential services:
- WHAT DOES THE NEW POLICY MEAN TO YOUR PRODUCTS? The Food Label Compass conducts in-depth analyses of the food and nutrient content of clients' brands relative to the new FDA guidelines, identifying the potential changes to the serving size rules (Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed (RACCs)), assessing impact of potential changes to Daily Values (DVs) and how nutrition claim criteria may be affected.
- HOW DO I COMPLY? Food Label Compass develops regulatory recommendations and guidance to construct labels modified to reflect the new requirements, validate claim opportunities, answers questions on how to comply with the new nutrition information rules and ensures the information is presented in an approved and consumer-friendly manner.
- WHAT'S MY STRATEGIC ROADMAP FOR THESE CHANGES? The third component develops a strategic roadmap for the client's product portfolio and brand messaging to position and plan around the new nutrition facts and labels that will effectively communicate to consumers and other audiences about the new nutrition information to ensure brands and foods are perceived and used in the way that is intended.
"From a practical standpoint, we have learned a lot in the past 20 years about the world of food labeling, and how companies should meet regulatory requirements balanced with helping consumers make informed choices," said FoodMinds Chief Science Officer Robert C. Post, PhD, MEd, MSc. "Through our new Food Label Compass, we have effectively packaged a mind-trust of science-based analysis, regulatory counsel, and marketing communications experts to provide clients an edge to successfully navigate and capitalize on this opportunity."
Expected Changes to the FDA Nutrition Facts Label
The FDA announced earlier this year it plans to overhaul the Nutrition Facts label "based upon the latest science-based nutrition recommendations." These updates will reflect current nutrient recommendations, public health concerns based on recent data on food consumption, and the agency's desire to make this information as clear and useful as possible. It is estimated the official announcement could occur before the end of the year.
According to the FDA, consumer use of the Nutrition Facts label continues to increase, as evidenced by surveys conducted between 2002 and again in 2008, where the percentage of consumers reporting that they often use the label rose from 44 to 54 percent.
"While the nutrition label has been invaluable tool to educate consumers, it is overdue for an update so that it can reflect current science and dietary recommendations," said Victor Fulgoni, RD, PhD, Nutrition Impact's senior vice president. "The trick for food and beverage industry will be how to successfully navigate upcoming changes proactively, and then clearly communicate this new information to their consumers."
Beyond the changes to how nutrition label information will be presented, the expected FDA changes include guidance for claims on labeling. According to Edward A. Steele, chairman and chief executive officer of EAS Consulting Group, this is going to present a challenge for the industry. "Understanding where there may be new claim opportunities and what scientific research will be needed to validate them is just one area," said Steele. "Just as important is how to be confident that any proposed new labeling is correct."
Planning for These Changes Should Start Now
The task of assessing and accommodating these anticipated Nutrition Facts label changes is sizable. The team behind Food Label Compass is ready to help food manufacturers plan for and work through implementation to ensure brands transition in the marketplace successfully.
FoodMinds is a food and nutrition consulting company that harnesses science, public affairs and communications to help its clients tell a better story that makes a difference. The winner of the 2013 Holmes Report Boutique Agency of the Year and the 2012 Gold Sabre award in the public affairs category, FoodMinds is also ranked in the top 10 U.S. independent food and beverage public relations firm by O'Dwyer's. The agency is certified as a National Women's Business Enterprise by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council, and works with more than 30 leading food, beverage and nutrition companies, commodities and associations in the U.S. and around the world. www.foodminds.com
Nutrition Impact specializes in helping food and beverage companies develop and communicate aggressive, science-based claims about their products and services. Nutrition Impact also conducts meta-analyses to combine clinical trials to ascertain a more robust estimate of overall health effects of a food or ingredient and conducting various food/nutrient intake studies using USDA/NHANES survey data, including modeling the impact of fortification changes on nutrient intake. www.nutritionimpact.com
EAS Consulting Group LLC is a leading provider of regulatory consulting services to the food, dietary supplement, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, medical device and tobacco industries. Our unique team of former FDA officials and industry experts offers unparalleled expertise. With our labeling experts' detailed knowledge of FDA labeling regulations, we can review labels for formatting and nutritional information, develop Nutrition Facts panels, design studies to substantiate claims, and review claims for compliance with FDA regulations, while helping companies achieve their marketing goals. www.easconsultinggroup.com

The Most Gorgeous Looks From The Met Gala
The Metropolitan Museum's annual Costume Institute Gala is the most highly anticipated fashion event of the year, and this year's theme—Charles James: Beyond Fashion—practically begs attendees to pull out all the stops. The legendary couturier was known for utterly glamorous, stunningly architectural ball gowns (the exhibit on his work opens May 8th) so the expectation for dramatic dresses is high. To add to the excitement, First Lady Michelle Obama cut the ribbon at the Costume Institute today on the newly opened Anna Wintour Costume Center. Clearly, it's going to be a thoroughly glamorous evening, and we've been waiting with fingers poised to bring you the best looks in real time. Click through now to see what everyone wore, from Sarah Jessica Parker in jaw-dropping Oscar de la Renta to Kirsten Dunst in show-stopping Rodarte.

this game is massivly overdumped by the looks of it
their is a 16mbit size stripped version about now
Nowhere near as good as the original on the Mega Drive/Genesis called Empire of Steel. Get that instead shooter fans!
The logo looks like it's been made in ms word...
other then that...
wow, this game looks cool.. anyone tried it?
how does it do vs other shooters?
I'm always up for a good shmup, but the gba isn't exactly the best platform for shooters.
I'll have to give this a shot...
psst...look at the copyright date...
same game (ish)
woot shoot em up
Kinda plays differently on GBA. The bullets are sometimes hard to see due to the screen and some of the rocky bits are blurry when going at a certain. Not tried it on emulator though.
meh another shooting game eh? is it any good?
I tried the Japanese version of this a long time ago. It was an ok shooter, but didn't get me hooked. Bonus points for the amusing engrish.
I been enjoying this a lot. Good old fashioned shooter. I think I used to have the Genesis game but it didn't hook me then. But I had Streets of Rage 2 to play on that console so not much else got a look in.

Indiana University president John Ryan said Tuesday he didn`t plan to take any action against Bobby Knight for the basketball coach`s chair-tossing incident against Purdue Saturday.
Apparently following the no-harm, no-foul rule prevalent in the Big 10
(after all, the chair didn`t hit referee Fred Jaspers, it was just aimed in his direction), Ryan said: ``As far as I`m concerned, the key thing is to recognize that that particular incident is wrong--and we`ve done that; the coach has done that. And that it can`t be allowed and it can`t be repeated. And the coach has acknowledged that. As far as I`m concerned, the main issue`s been addressed.``

Spartanburg, S.C. – Mollie Waters scored in the first half to give the USC Upstate women's soccer team a 1-0 lead and the Spartans had a couple of late scoring opportunities thwarted as Upstate took a 1-1 draw against The Citadel in a preseason scrimmage game at County University Soccer Stadium Sunday afternoon.
For the second straight scrimmage game, Upstate struck first against The Citadel's defense. After being played a ball 30 yards out from the goal, Becky Sanzsole (Kitchener, Ontario) took on two Bulldog defenders, juked her final defender, then played a forward ball to Waters (Piedmont, S.C.) all alone in the center of the box. Waters drew the keeper, Naomi Carter, off her line and put a shot into the right side of the goal to give the Spartans a 1-0 lead in the 13th minute.
The Citadel nearly tied the game in the 25th minute when Mariana Garcia took possession on the left side of the box and lifted a shot toward the goal. The ball cleared the Upstate defense and hit the crossbar, but Upstate was able to clear the ball from any further danger and maintain its 1-0 lead.
Upstate nearly made it a 2-0 lead in the 30th minute, but Carter made a great charging save to prevent the goal. Sanzsole again looked to generate the offense, playing a great give-and-go with Kenzie Major (Rome, Ga.). Major was able to just get a foot on the ball and get a shot off before a charging Carter came up with the save.
Upstate finished the first half with a 5-3 advantage in shots and a 1-0 lead.
The Citadel's Kim Maldonado nearly tied the match early in the second half. She fired a shot toward goal, but Upstate keeper Ellen Bright (Fort Mill, S.C.) deflected the ball over the net for a Bulldog corner kick. Bright started the second half after Sarah Plantz (Cartersville, Ga.) started the game and kept The Citadel from scoring in the first 45 minutes.
Garcia nearly tied the match in the first half, but her shot hit the crossbar. Her second solid scoring opportunity was different. With the ball deep in Upstate territory, the ball was played to her of the elft side of the box and she managed to get a header off over Bright and into the net to tie the game at 1-1 in the 68th minute.
Upstate put together a couple of scoring chances around 10 minutes left to play, but each time, shots went wide of the goal with players one-on-one with the keeper.
Bright came up huge for Upstate with a little less than seven minutes to play. With The Citadel on a 4-on-2 break, the ball was played off to the right center of the box to an open Nicholle Griffith. However, Bright came off her line and deflected the shot to keep the Bulldogs from finding the net.
Upstate put together two solid scoring opportunities in the final two minutes, but each time, reserve goalkeeper Sarah Katchen made two tremendous saves to keep the Spartans off the board as the game ended in a 1-1 tie.
Upstate won the battle for shots during the game, owning a 10-8 lead after 90 minutes of play.
Upstate's preseason action came to an end with Sunday's match. The Spartans will open the regular season at home at County University Soccer Stadium when they host VMI Friday night at 7:00 pm.
Follow Upstate women's soccer all season long on your mobile device, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

With every new update to Android we get bombarded with reports of how fragmented Android is. We have all seen the pie graphs with Gingerbread with a huge piece of the pie, and we hopelessly wait for our phones to get the latest and greatest operating system. My thoughts on it all is that truly fragmentation is not a huge issue that reporters make it out to be, if you buy an Android phone for the latest and greatest OS you are more then likely going to root and flash a ROM with that new OS before the OEM and Carrier push that update out. On the flip side, there are a good majority of people who have an Android phone and don't really care about their OS and wont be heart broken if they are stuck on Gingerbread because they aren't researching Android like we do. I think we can all agree that OEM's and Carriers should work quicker to push out updates but the beauty of Android is that when they don't we have the power to it ourselves. So what are your thoughts? Issue or not?
The fragmantation is not that much of a true problem, as most of the apps can run on every system today it's rather a marketing problem. The only way google can handle this is by hanging on for a longer period of time to a version and try to incremently upgrade it. The other thing is that google has finally found a nice design that they can hang on for a long period of time. HOLO is grate.
I do not think it is a huge issue either. If you go out and ask random consumers with android devices what version they are on, I would say most have no clue nor do they care. When apps no longer work on devices that is when people are going to become worried about "fragmentation" but that does not seem to be the case as most apps work with pretty much every version of android. I honestly just think the others such as apple say it because it is all about marketing( even though only the like newest devices get the full update, but dont get me started on that) It really doesn't seem to be effecting the sales or adoption of android that much and hopefully with future versions they will have something to make updates come a little quicker.
Apple has as many mobile releases in the wild and no on talks about their fragmentation problem.
They just let the users deal with it. Android fragmentation is anti-Android myth. The same treatment applies. Let users deal with it.
Look at the second image in this link.
Notice all the versions of iOS running in the consumer space still, some 20 odd versions of iOS.
Yes, there's been more versions of Android but not enough to support the fragmentation argument that's often made in comparison to iOS.
On my home computer, I just expect to upgrade my OS myself if I want a new version, not just patches. It's not Microsoft's, or Ubunut's job to do it. Sure, not all hardware can run the latest OS. At some point, you just get left behind if you don't upgrade the hardware too. Apple does it too, but no one notices.
Same for Android, but there are plenty of customizations to make your phone or tablet better than the way it came from the OEM. If you want a more recent version of Android and your phone will run it, slap on a ROM.
That should be the THIRD graphic as it shows all the iOS versions reporting in that time period.
I believe that the fragmentation problem is not really as bad as it sounds now. As mentioned previously, you could get away with by using ROMS or other customization software.
Maybe further down the line, it may become a bigger issue if innovations leads to vastly differences in updated versions to the point where apps makers aren't willing to provide support or time to make apps compatible with earlier versions of Android OS.
As long as they can get people to get a new Android phone every couple of years, it will be fine.
I think the concern was greater early in Android development with the OS changing rapidly and pushing out versions much more rapidly. To me there is Gingerbread and 4.x (ICS / JB). The two are quite different.
I think the debate on fragmentation stems more from vanilla android versus manufacturer modified. They want to distinguish there are phones from others and some make UIs that are simply crap. Since ICS I see no reason for manufacturing mods. The interface is slick and elegant. These modifications are also what stop some phones being easily updated by manufacturer/ carrier to newer Android versions.
Not sure how to refrain from being redundant, but I agree with those above. Fragmentation would really only be a huge issue if people expected more than two years out of their device and in that expected lifetime they were no longer able to utilize a functioning version of the apps they have had since their OS version was the current one. As thymeless stated, with PCs we don't cry over fragmentation (though I certainly was sad when XP stopped being supported) because we accept that newer software often requires newer hardware when it comes down to it. If it doesn't then the user it responsible for upgrading. (though where the analogy weakens is the fact that as long as the hardware is up to snuff the OS provider does make a newer OS available at the same time for all PCs with beefy enough hardware) But that's where the ROM community comes in. Not quite as seemless as the PC OS swap, but it's an option (I did say the analogy weakens).
Sure it's frustrating because phone OS update occur far more frequently than PC OS versions, and carriers are slow to keep up. But it really isn't the end of the world, and being on the cutting edge in any field always requires either extra costs or extra risks.
I think the fragmentation thing may be blown out of proportion in the smartphone world because the people who care hear about a new OS months before it ever even is officially released on a phone… so when they have to wait another half a year (or more) for the OS to roll out on old hardware (if ever) it seems like that much longer.
Thanks for your input everyone, it bore seems as though everyone outta in agreement and I had no idea that was the case. There are tons and tons of stories of how horrible Android is withwith fragmentation but it never seemed to be an issue to me but none of my friends that use Android really care about the os like we do so I had to come to the experts.
I think buy a nexus !
I think it is relevant for devices not updated within a two year span but beyond that it is the software evolving beyond the hardware. I think the reason we are where we are at is because of how android developed so quickly and had major changes in the code. You will see devices update more frequently from now due to the fact that the OS is mature and future releases won't be massive changes, making it easier for OEM's to update their custom UI's.
I don't see it being a problem. As old phones get old or damaged, they will likely get replaced with new devices that have the newest operating system. Most apps run on 2.2 and up. I've actually seen a few apps that were not yet compatible with ICS and JB.
I think it's both great and terrible. Look at all the great additions to Android that Samsung has made with Touchwiz. At the same time, look how long it's taken OEMs to update their phones. Also, I bet it sucks for developers too.
I would say that it IS a bit of a problem, but it can be fixed.
There are two major problems that cause fragmentation issues – wide variations in hardware and manufacturer skins. The first problem makes it difficult to maintain compatibility with applications and OS updates. A way to solve this is to create driver standards that maintain backwards compatibility in Android updates. Notice that Windows runs on such a wide range of hardware but can be installed without waiting for a manufacturer to make a specific update for each system. This is due to a combination of standards in hardware and drivers for hardware that is not standard. Most hardware just works, others need a driver to be installed. Also, most of the time old drivers will still work on the new system, but it's relatively simple for manufacturers to update a few drivers if necessary. This kind of setup could work on Android.
As for dealing with manufacturer skins – if Android supported skins by having a way to switch between them and disable them, this really wouldn't be a problem. If they're not embedded into the OS, the OS can be updated and then the skin reapplied later.
Android fragmentation is a non-issue – except for the Apple fans that want to point to it as a problem. I'm running a 1st generation iPad that isn't going to get updated to the latest iOS. If you look at what Apple versions are running, you can call that fragmentation too.
@lou2cool88 talks about Touchwiz customization, but that is not really fragmentation.
The real problem is carrier interference and the way updates are handled.

New South Wales is Australias most racist stateSeptember 29th, 2008 - 3:02 pm ICT by ANI
Melbourne, Sept.29 (ANI): New South Wales has been identified as the most racist of Australias six states.
According to a report in The Australian, a lead researcher on the project, Kevin Dunn, has put this development down to Sydney being the focus of international migration to Australia.
He said people were asked which cultural/ethnic groups do not fit into Australian society, and found that New South Wales topped the list with 46 per cent of survey respondents saying some ethnic groups should not be in the country.
The Australian Capital Territory had the lowest such response with 28 per cent.
Human geography and urban studies Professor Dunn and his team from the University of Western Sydney, however, reveal that racism in Australia has waned over the years, but maintain that the figures are still high.
Dunn will unveil the state-by-state statistics on Friday at the 4Rs international conference - Rights, Reconciliation, Respect and Responsibility - at Sydney''s University of Technology.
Challenging Racism: The Anti-Racism Research Project has randomly surveyed about 12,500 people in different studies during the past eight years.
Prof Dunn attributes the results to people''s overarching views.
"It''s an indicator of a narrow view of what constitutes Australianism," he said.
Dunn said people also revealed who they singled out the most.
The overall figures surge to 65 per cent for people over 65 but drop to 31 per cent for those aged 18 to 34.
On average, about one in 10 people said it was not good for people of different cultures to marry and about the same number said not all races are equal.
He said NSW ranked highest in most categories but attributed that to Sydney being the country''s focus for immigration.
Prof Dunn and his team will release regional results within each state sometime early next year.
They will also recommend strategies to lower Australia''s level of racist views, which he said remain low by international standards. (ANI)

Then Minerva bethought her of another matter. When she deemed that Ulysses had had both of his wife and of repose, she bade gold-enthroned Dawn rise out of Oceanus that she might shed light upon mankind. On this, Ulysses rose from his comfortable bed and said to Penelope, "Wife, we have both of us had our full share of troubles, you, here, in lamenting my absence, and I in being prevented from getting home though I was longing all the time to do so. Now, however, that we have at last come together, take care of the property that is in the house. As for the sheep and goats which the wicked suitors have eaten, I will take many myself by force from other people, and will compel the Achaeans to make good the rest till they shall have filled all my yards. I am now going to the wooded lands out in the country to see my father who has so long been grieved on my account, and to yourself I will give these instructions, though you have little need of them. At sunrise it will at once get abroad that I have been killing the suitors; go upstairs, therefore, {184} and stay there with your women. See nobody and ask no questions." {185}
As he spoke he girded on his armour. Then he roused Telemachus, Philoetius, and Eumaeus, and told them all to put on their armour also. This they did, and armed themselves. When they had done so, they opened the gates and sallied forth, Ulysses leading the way. It was now daylight, but Minerva nevertheless concealed them in darkness and led them quickly out of the town.

The United Nations Released a Playlist of the World's Happiest Songs
They snubbed Pharrell's "Happy"!
Friday was the United Nation's International Day of Happiness, and who better to ring in the day than Pharrell? Speaking to a crowd of students, the artist-producer told them that fighting for the environment was crucial to everyone's happiness. "If you don't have a home, then you don't have a life. So we have to transition from 'climate change' to 'climate action.'"
In concert for the big day, the U.N. also released the "world's happiest playlist" as determined by Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and a bunch of celebrities from Ed Sheeran to Britney Spears. Strangely, Pharrell's "Happy" is not on the list! Maybe that would have seemed like favoritism? (Pharrell, for his part, picked the Talking Heads' "This Must Be the Place.")

While there's certainly something to be said for the pleasures of a full-on splatter flick, subtlety is a quality that unfortunately is not much valued in horror films these days, but Ti West's new picture The Innkeepers is truly refreshing in its willingness to take the slow and spooky route to suspense. The Innkeepers is at heart an old-fashioned ghost story with a few modern-day twists that bring it into the 21st century, and so much of the movie works so well that it's unfortunate the same low-key approach that makes it such a pleasure undermines it in the final act.
The picture is set in the Yankee Pedlar, a hotel in Connecticut that has seen better days. Due to poor business the owners have decided to close down the hotel, and for its last week the staff has been reduced to two people, Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy), who sleep in the empty rooms when they're not manning the desk. As it happens, there isn't much to do at the Yankee Pedlar anyway, as the hotel has a mere three guests: a woman waiting for an apology from her husband who has her ten-year-old son in tow, and Leanne Rease-Jones (Kelly McGillis), a once-famous actress who is in town for a speaking engagement. Claire and Luke's reasons for working at the Yankee Pedlar go beyond a paycheck; both have an interest in the paranormal, and it's believed the hotel is haunted by the ghost of a woman who was murdered there many years ago. Luke says he's seen the ghost and has created a website devoted to the story; he's also brought a portable recording rig to the hotel in hopes of capturing the sounds of the phantom on tape. Despite all this, Luke is skeptical about much of the lore surrounding the ghost, and when Claire begins to hear curious noises and the sounds of a piano playing itself, he's certain there's some practical explanation for what's going on. But Claire does have someone on her side -- in addition to her acting past, Leanne is also a psychic healer who believes in the supernatural, and she senses there is something real and potentially dangerous lurking at the Yankee Pedlar.
Director and screenwriter Ti West has cited Stanley Kubrick's The Shining as an influence and a personal favorite, and in many respects The Innkeepers plays like a simpler, more compact variation on that film's themes. There's an atmospheric old hotel, many long tracking shots down the corridors, folks going just a bit stir-crazy after long hours with little to do, a mysterious outsider who senses the paranormal occurrences, and a backstory of sinister doings which tie in to the present calamity. West doesn't match the glorious dread that Kubrick summoned in his film, but The Innkeepers still has atmosphere to spare and slowly but surely builds an impressive degree of tension over the course of its first hour or so. West is ably assisted by his cast: Sara Paxton brings an understated girl-next-door charm to her role as Claire, Pat Healy's Luke is a fine, smart-assed foil whose grumpiness doesn't disguise his attraction to her, and Kelly McGillis is impressive as Leanne, displaying a depth and nuance which surpasses her best-known work of the 1980s and '90s. West was also lucky to have Eliot Rockett as his cinematographer, as he gives the film a rich, elegant palate of colors and tones. But West's light touch fails him in the movie's last reel, as the finale doesn't pay off with either the big scares or the dramatic revelations we've been expecting. It's rare in this day and age to find a horror film that gets by on its charm, but The Innkeepers is one that does just that. Yet the charm, the style, and the strong performances don't quite make up for the fact that West's story doesn't have much of an ending, and The Innkeepers is a film that doesn't live up to its promise, even as it shows a flair missing from West's earlier work.

Tips for moving yourself one-way in a rental Ryder truck are to bring two forms of identification to secure the rental and to bring a credit card to put down a deposit. In addition, carefully consider the size of the rental truck necessary for the move to avoid paying too much or not having enough room, and pack items in boxes or with padding to ensure safety during the move.Continue Reading
When renting a Ryder truck, bring a driver's license and at least one other form of identification, such as a credit card. In addition, a person renting a Ryder truck must be able to show that he has the appropriate license endorsements for his vehicle. If your personal auto insurance doesn't cover rentals, you should be prepared to buy insurance from Ryder. The person renting the truck must give Ryder credit card information for the deposit.
If moving only a few rooms with belongings, use a smaller moving truck of approximately 10 feet. Moving an entire house requires a larger truck, such as a 16-foot truck. It's also important to think about any accessories that might make the move easier, such as carts and padding for easy loading and unloading and to protect belongings during the drive. Smaller items can fit snugly into boxes for safe transportation.
Exercise caution when backing up with the truck, and consider having a person stand outside and guide the driver when backing up. Be mindful that trucks make wider turns than cars and that a moving truck has a higher overhead clearance.Learn more about Geography

The "Fatbird" was adopted as the centerpiece of Nemacolin Woodlands Resort's logo because it captures the spirit of this special place, fun, whimsical and full of life. A rare bird indeed, "Fatbird" is a delightful image that was personally created by Maggie Hardy Magerko, the resort's President and Owner.
Fatbird was inspired by one of Maggie's favorite art pieces, Fernando Botero's "Little Bird," which proudly welcomes guests from its perch in front of the resort's grand Chateau Lafayette. Maggie believed the sculpture embodied the whimsy of Nemacolin, a place that truly tries to offer something for everyone. For that and so many other reasons, Nemacolin is as a rare bird in the resort industry as Botero's "little" bird is to the art world.
With the Botero sculpture in mind and paying homage to the Pennsylvania state bird, the grouse, Maggie commissioned wildlife artist Barney Boller and challenged him to create his interpretation of a "big, fat bird" … thus resulting in our logo's name.
In 1996, "Fatbird" was unveiled and a new resort logo embraced.
So, tip your hat to Botero's "Little Bird" as you enter our main entrance, and smile as our Nemacolin Fatbird greats you in unexpected places. And next time you pass a new guest wondering, "What's Fatbird," you can confidentially say, just as Maggie would, "Fatbird is Nemacolin's mascot. He's fun and whimsical, just like the expectations and experiences of this unique resort."
