Southwest Georgia is where Lee, Terrell, Dougherty, Schley, and Sumter counties rub up against each other in the Flint River basin, and where creeks with names like Kinchafoonee and Muckalee snake through and spill over, as the water heads south.
The face of the land when I got there was slow, small hills and fields of cotton, peanuts, and corn; turpentine mills and piney woods; the clay a red juice in rain, red dust in hard sun. This is where Otis Redding came from, and Bernice Johnson Reagon, founder of Sweet Honey in the Rock. It's where Jimmy Carter was raised, and where, during World War II, a white country preacher and his wife established Koinonia, an interracial, radical Christian farm.
This was also the home of the Albany Movement in the early 1960—the first mass movement of the civil rights era to have desegregation of an entire community as its goal—and the starting ground of the international affordable-housing program Habitat for Humanity. And, many years before, it was where my great-grandmother, Mariah Grant, arrived from Florida—with the children she could keep—and settled, at the end of slavery, in a town called Leesburg.
My parents, Dock and Ella, were born there—and left. They left with most of my aunts and uncles, all of my older brothers and sisters, my maternal grandparents, and a generation of my cousins. Almost everybody who could go, it seems, did go north: to Philadelphia, New York, Detroit, and, for most of my family, Chicago. I was born at the end of that journey. My sister Norma and I were the first of the Northern generation of Freeneys. And while cousins and friends from Georgia visited us throughout my Illinois childhood, none of my relatives went back South until the 1960s. I was the first to return.
My parents didn't talk to me about why they left Georgia. At least I don't remember much conversation about it. But the elders in the family were always protective of children, and I'm sure they must have had conversations and remembrances among themselves that the younger people were spared. It was not until I had joined the Mennonite Church, married, and decided with my new husband, Vincent, to go to Atlanta to work full-time in the freedom movement that my mother and father began to tell me some things. They were, understandably, fearful for my safety. The state I was returning to was the same one from which—35 years before—they had fled.
THERE WAS A tree, my mother said, in a place called Starksville, along a road where people passed daily going to and from their labors. It was a large tree, an old tree, and the branches spread crooked-wide in all directions. "They used to hang people there," Mom said. "They would hang a man there and then make all the Colored go and look. If you get down that way, ask somebody to show it to you." My father, too, warned me in his quiet ways. And perhaps my going South brought up more memories for him, because as he aged, he began to tell his grandchildren about some of the horrors he had witnessed.
A few years before my parents left Georgia, a man and all three of his sons were strung up from different limbs of that tree in Starksville and shot—their bodies left to hang as gruesome and vicious warnings to others. That man and his children became the reason Daddy decided to leave. This he did tell me: "I wanted my sons to live."
IN SPITE OF all of this, I think my parents were proud of me, and even happy, that in some sense the family was now returning from a long exile. My daughter, Rachel, was born in Atlanta in December 1962. She and her brother, Jonathan, were two of Dock and Ella's last grandchildren, and the only ones raised in the South. When my father died, we found a calendar from 1962 on the wall of his basement workshop. All but its last page had been torn off and it hung permanently at the month his first Georgia-born grandchild came into the world.
Going South for me was thus, in some ways, a homecoming. Atlanta was a logical place for a movement-based project headquarters, a Southern city that viewed itself as more progressive than some others. We traveled throughout the region on behalf of the Mennonite Church and in liaison with organizations such as the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the Congress on Racial Equality, and the Fellowship of Reconciliation.
But there was something beyond the logic of an administrative decision that drew us to Atlanta. The campaigns and communities of southwest Georgia quickly emerged as some of our strongest movement connections. These were connections that started forming even before we left Chicago. I met Clarence Jordan in 1961 when he came to speak at Woodlawn Mennonite Church. I was struck immediately by the soft cadences of his voice and his warm, country manner. He reminded me very much of my own father and uncles. The work of racial reconciliation and justice that Clarence and others were doing at Koinonia Farm seemed both exciting and profoundly important. Vincent and I kept in touch with the Koinonia community, and once we arrived in Atlanta, we made frequent visits to the farm in Americus, Georgia, for rest, reflection, and fellowship. Like Koinonia, we were trying to create a spiritually grounded, service-oriented, interracial community, and the place we founded—Mennonite House—was a kindred spirit to the Koinonia community.
Another important connection for us was the Albany Movement. In 1961-62, SNCC and other freedom movement organizations were invited to Albany, Georgia, to help mobilize a city-wide campaign to desegregate public facilities, register blacks to vote, and otherwise challenge the structures of white supremacy in the city and its environs. I did a lot of behind-the-scenes organizing. Vincent and I participated in many demonstrations, and we came to know members of that community very well. What I saw reminded me of my family in Chicago—from the abundant hospitality and the familiar comfort foods to the remarkably unassailed dignity of people struggling for their most basic democratic and human rights.
Finally, there was something about the land. I remember driving down the narrow unpaved roads toward Americus and Albany—brush and high grass on both sides, mist rising there in the early mornings. I tried to imagine what those roads might have been like when my Indian ancestors first made them, when my African ancestors walked and worked them, and when my father and uncles were building houses, courthouses, and train stations along them in Macon, Albany, and Leesburg. My father told me that he made bricks from the clay under these roads.
My relatives in Chicago, especially the older ones—my parents, aunts, and uncles, who had lived into adulthood in Georgia—shared something with the Southerners I was meeting now. In spite of its horrid and painful history, southwest Georgia (like the southeastern United States generally) has a sweetness. It is often vaunted and romanticized—and sometimes derided—as a conceit. But as I've experienced it, in the region itself, and in the lives of the exiled African Americans who raised me, it is true.
My older sister Mildred speaks admiringly of our aunts, our mother's sisters, who worked as domestics in the houses and hotels of Chicago's elites and in the factories of the city's industries. They carried themselves with so much grace and self-assurance. Often it was in their tone of voice. Not too high, as it might have been if one were upset. And not too low, as if one were angry. But a modulated, gentle way of speaking. A Southernness. Perhaps the tone originally developed from the mixture of African, European, and Native American pronunciations that guided the sounds of the early days of the colonial encounter. Or maybe it began as a marker of status—gentility as leisurely language. It seems, too, that—especially for black folk—there may have been something about the vocal timbre, the words chosen, the manner of speaking that was protective. During slavery and in the years of viciousness that followed, one's voice tone, one's decisions about how and what to say, could literally save one's life. So there is that too—the legacy of violence in the sweetness. Some people may think it is a bad thing to preserve a quality of voice reminiscent of subservience, of persecution. But if it is reminiscent of those things, it also expresses a human creativity in oppressive circumstances, something crafted that ultimately transcends and transforms the original defensive uses.
There were lessons, indirect perhaps, in the choices my parents made about telling stories of their lives down South. I think they were conscious of the impressions left by brutal memories, and they used reticence and discretion to point toward an alternative. The absence of a full reporting, in my childhood, of the Southern horrors was not so much because Mom and Dad wanted us to live in simpleminded obliviousness; rather, they wanted us always to hold a basic respect for other human beings—even for people who might victimize us. They wanted us to be able to develop our own spirits without undue prejudice, not to be so burdened by disdain that we couldn't grow our souls. I think they understood that the terror they went through—stark as it was—was not the last word in human experience, and that there are chords deeper and more resilient than racism can ever be, and they wanted to give us access there.
GOING "BACK" SOUTH, then, I carried the memories of family and friends who had lived there and left. The stories were in me, in an embodied, visceral way. Growing up among black Georgians, Mississippians, and Alabamans meant that I absorbed a sense of that which was horrific in the place they had gone away from. It also meant that I absorbed a sense of what was potentially healing from that same place.
As the youngest child, I lived at home after my older brothers and sisters had gone out on their own. I remember one time when I was alone in the house with Mom and Dad. From my bedroom I overheard them in the kitchen talking about their times down South. Their voices were light and warm as they talked about the people with whom they had shared good times—laughing together at the remembrance of past joys. They joked between themselves about long-gone things.
I can't specifically remember anything they said, but I know that it gave me a feeling of connection with family members I had never known. Some had left the South years before my parents did—such as my mother's brothers, Tom and McFall, who went to Mexico, the Philippines, and Panama. And such as my father's uncle, who had settled in Liberia and raised a family there, although he returned to Leesburg when he was ill because he wanted to die at home.
I heard security in the delighted rising and diminishing of my parents' voices. They sat together at the kitchen table—maybe snapping beans together or eating Mama's hot rolls with coffee—and their mutual pleasure in reminiscence was like a soft and sturdy pillow under me. Somehow, knowing that they shared so much, that they had so much in common, so many warm confidences of family and friends and life before Chicago, was a kind of protection, another layer of relations wrapped around me like bunting.
When I went South, I took all my memories with me—the memories of violence and the things-too-terrible-to-talk-about, and the memories of the people who survived them. Especially the people who survived them, my family and so many others I knew, who had found a way, inside themselves and out, to live beautiful lives—anyhow. When I got to Albany and Macon and Americus and Leesburg in early 1961, I was met by other people, other Southerners, black and white, who had also found a way—and who were working hard to make that way wider.

Acacia jacksonioides
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Acacia jacksonioides Maslin
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Similar to A. erinacea Benth. and A. semicircinalis Maiden & Blakely.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Near Threatened ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Malcolm, P.
|Hilton-Taylor, C.
Acacia jacksonioides is a small shrub distributed in eucalypt woodland in the Avon Wheatbelt region in Western Australia. Its extent of occurrence does not meet the criteria for Vulnerable (extent of occurrence ~33,700 km2) but the habitat is highly fragmented and there is evidence of increase of salinity in the area and continuing clearing of remnant of vegetation patches reducing the quality of the habitat and extent of occurrence respectively. It is therefore listed currently as Near Threatened (almost qualifies for listing under criterion B1ab(iii)).
|Range Description:
|Acacia jacksonioides is endemic to Australia distributed from near Three Springs southeast to near Mount Vernon with a disjunct occurrence east of Geraldton in Western Australia.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Australia (Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia, Western Australia)

|Total population size is not known, it was last collected in 2007.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Small shrub that grows in gravelly sand or loam, often on hilltops, in scrub, shrubland and eucalypt woodland.
|Major Threat(s):
|There are no known direct threats to the species, however, the Avon Wheatbelt region where this species occurs has been extensively cleared for agriculture and grazed by stock, and subsequently the remnant patches of vegetation are highly fragmented and at risk. Extensive clearing of vegetation has led to salinity problems (expected to affect up to 30% of the region's area). Vegetation clearing still continues and exotic weed invasion and changes in fire regimes are also threatening the habitat (Beecham 2001). The percentage of vegetation cover remaining across the shires in the area where this species occurs range from 4.3% in the Shire of Dowerin to 13.6% in the Victoria Plains Shire (Roadside Conservation Committee 2005).
|Conservation Actions:
|It is not known whether this species occurs within a protected area. Most reserves of the region are small (average reserve area in the Avon Wheatbelt 1 is 452 hectares) and isolated by wheatfields. Management plans have been developed to protect the roadside vegetation in the area to provide corridors for species dispersal between the remnant patches of vegetation (Beecham 2001). This species is not listed as Threatened under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). It is recommended that its seeds are stored as an ex situ conservation measure, that further research is carried out on habitat status and levels of threat and management plans are implemented to secure the future of remnant patches of vegetation.

Research Reports
Our Research Report series includes research into the physical evidence of the historic environment carried out by Historic England (formerly English Heritage), as well as work we have funded other organisations to carry out on our behalf.
In addition to reports about specific buildings or sites it now includes reports from our large area aerial survey mapping programmes, as well as much of the key research commissioned under the former National Heritage Protection Plan 2011-2015. An important exception to this is social and economic research including labour market research results, which you can find in our dedicated social and economic research pages.
You can search the Research Reports series through our dedicated search page:
Accessing large area survey reports using our map
As part of our commitment to improving access to our reports, we are running a trial using an interactive map to help you find and download project results with a clear geographic extent. The map includes aerial investigation and mapping projects covering large areas. Most of these reports contain an overview and analysis of the archaeological remains in each project area. The original data for each project, made up of mapping and records, is available from the Archive.
Find Stonehenge research reports using our map
Download all 20 reports from our recent research using our new interactive map of the Stonehenge landscape. You can also buy the Stonehenge Landscape book from our online bookshop.
Together with the book, these reports represent an up-to-date synthesis of this iconic monument and surrounding area; the results of several years' fieldwork and research.
The reports provide accurate, detailed information on the location, surviving shape and size of the monuments in the World Heritage Site; from the prehistoric barrows to the more recent monuments, such as the early 20th-century Air Ministry markers.
Interim Reports
Some of these reports are interim reports, making the results of specialist investigations available in advance of full publication. They are not usually subject to external refereeing, and their conclusions may sometimes have to be modified in the light of information not available at the time of the investigation.

Too bad I just can't sit still. Nobody likes more than do I to relax and party and play games and just enjoy life. No matter where I am in the world, images of my cats sitting on the front porch will pop in my head while I am walking down the Champs-Élysées. I have on several occasions literally turned my car around on the way to the airport and just gone back home and "called in sick" so to speak. Yup, I am a homebody. I never did like the idea of leaving wherever I was at the time. So if home, I hate to leave, and if anywhere else , I hate to leave there too.
A dichotomy? Not really. I tend to make a "home" and a "family" wherever I am. My mother, pictured above in my 1958 family album, always told me that I would always be late coming home as a kid and never never come back even now from wherever when I say I will. Something always keeps me. Yet to be home is my favorite thing. So no wonder I confuse everyone, including myself, when I come up with some idea that is going to take me away. Now is such a time.
For sure the presses only stopped about 4 months ago on my (based on a true story) and anyone in their right mind would be running around doing promo stuff for their recent book. Yet once I am finished with the creative part of anything, I quickly yearn for the next. Need my fix. Just one more time. Please let me have just one more time.
So off we go. Yes "we". The family that is with me now on my front porch at home. Not my blood family as above, but an integral part of my extended family which includes half the readers here on Burn, my Magnum colleagues, NatGeo friends, my ex wife, ex girlfriends, workshop students, a whole bunch of people I met in a wide variety of ways and of course my loving and super patient blood family. Whew! Yea, it really does get out of hand. Not my fault. My mother in the photograph above, now almost 93, just this week fixed lunch at her home in Colorado for her dentist and his assistants. So, it runs in the family.
In three weeks Candy Pilar Godoy and Lawrence Sumulong and Mr. Tony "Skater" and Panos Skoulidas and I will leave New York City in a 23 foot camper van and in the traditional American way, head west. To Los Angeles. A 4-6week odyssey. Exact route unknown. Exact schedule non-existent. Number of folks who follow either here on Burn or down the highway literally is a number to be guessed. We got the van. I am in the mood. I have a team. So, isn't that enough to go in search of more for my Off For A Family Drive book to be?
How can I get anything done if I have an entire entourage? Easy. The group with me IS my family. IS my subject. Yes I will be shooting various types of families all across the country for the book and possible film yet having many around me in this case will only help my work. Be a part of the work. Candy for example was my digi assistant in Rio for the online saga we did there and ended up as a muse and cover of the book. So she is on her second project inside a year. Lawrence , twice my student at workshops, is now assisting me in getting my archive up to date for Magnum. Mr. Skater is a pro skateboarder and art dealer and my bodyguard sometimes in Rio and well, just a great old buddy. Panos Skoulidas I met here as a commentator for Burn and is the most unlikely person and yet the most likely person to somehow end up on a cross country jaunt that will have us end up at Venice Beach where his essay still rules.
I always liked those movies where two characters wanted to rob a bank and they needed three more to help with the heist. So they had to go find the others. Each one had a speciality. This is THAT kind of movie. An unlikely cast of characters, yet good vibes all around. And it is ONLY good vibes which provide any kind of environment where I can do my thing. The only thing I really know how to do.
Has the plot been written? What do you think? Will others join? What do you think?
So I am off on this road trip to photograph and interview American families. All kinds. If a group of any kind "thinks" they are a family, then I think they are a family. Do you know a family that's interesting? Has a story to tell? Let us know at email@example.com.
For sure Off For A Family Drive will be a moveable feast. It was the first time when I was 14 and shot the original album with my used Leica IIIF as a Christmas gift for my grandparents. It will be this time as well. To close the circle . To open the door.
Join us here on Burn. We promise to give you a great ride.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) — President Barack Obama says he's not sure whether he can get Congress to pass his plan to dramatically expand pre-kindergarten in the U.S.
He says it's difficult to pay for it and that quality control is a challenge.
Obama this year proposed paying for expanded pre-K by nearly doubling the federal tax on cigarettes. He says you get two benefits from the tax: Lower health care costs and improved early education.
Obama says early education shouldn't be an add-on to the U.S. education system, but part of the larger strategy. He says pre-K has the biggest, in his words, "bang for the buck" in improving educational outcomes.
Obama spoke Saturday at an economic development forum in San Jose on the last day of his trip to Costa Rica and Mexico.

Sounds good. Will there be a home model though :)?
Sounds good. Will there be a home model though :)?
Is it compatible with regular screens like Stewart (also with holes), Screen Research (woven fabric) etc. or does it need a special screen for 2D, or 3D, both?
What an amazing road Map: RED Cameras and Lens to capture the images, RED SSDs to store the images, REDRAY to playback the images, and now a RED Laser Projector to Display the images.
RED quality and innovation from beginning to the end of the Digital Cinema Process. Quality taken to a new level at every stage and at the same time being more affordable then other solutions.
It really is mind blowing to hear about RED's roadmap.
Congratulations and thank you for the awesome work.
is it DLP based ?
Okay, so this beauty has the best projected image compared to professional systems, it can do 2D and 3D projection, generates the best colour and dynamic range - and that's at 1/4 res!
Me thinks that this projector WILL be good enough to color grade on, so for the smaller guys here (like me), this is going to be a godsend. To be able to view dailies from EPIC at 4K, color grade at 4K and give final presentations to clients at 4K, for a cost that is in line with RED philosophy, is nothing short of groundbreaking.
Can you imagine if you could hook this baby up to a RED Rocket!
Bring it on Jim - its true then... You have our backs!
YES! I was lucky to see Barco's first demo of their 2k laser projector at RED Studios Hollywood a few months back and that blew my mind. The whole time I couldn't help but think, just imagine this in 4k. And now you guys have done it!
You definitely feel like you are looking through a window with laser projectors: the brightness and clarity are just off the charts. I'm afraid a 4k laser projector might melt my face off!
You guys HAVE been very busy, indeed. All the RED creations that have been incubating in the lab for years are now hitting all at once --perfect storm.
Someone grab a opener! I have a feeling that some big boys in the industry are about to have a big ol' can of whoop-ass opened up on them here in a minute. Fun times.....gotta love it :)

Many athletes are going gluten-free, even if they don't have a gluten sensitivity. Why?
Not that long ago, most people didn't have a clue what gluten-free meant. Unless you suffered from celiac disease, chances are you were eating ample amounts of gluten and didn't even know it. Today, however, a gluten-free diet is so mainstreamed even Godfather's Pizza got onboard.
Gluten is on everyone's radar today, and as endurance athletes our interests become especially piqued when we see how well many athletes are seemingly able to perform after ditching gluten from their diets. Olympians Ryan Hall and Amy Yoder Begley, along with the entire Garmin-Sharp professional cycling team, are just a few examples.
Not all of them are gluten intolerant but have become gluten-free eaters with the reasoning that the root problem of gluten intolerance is the inflammation that occurs when gluten is metabolized by the body; thus it's also being dubbed the "anti-inflammatory diet."
Training wisely is a positive stressor on muscles—no avoiding inflammation there—but "needlessly" adding in another inflammatory-provoking element to your regimen, logically, wouldn't seem to be doing you any favors. Runners are also no strangers to GI distress and a gluten-free diet could be your answers to both of these dilemmas.
"The main reason it's called an 'anti-inflammatory' diet is because it usually forces you to eliminate many processed foods, including every packaged cracker, cookie, bread, cake, pasta, cereal and most deep-fried and battered foods," said Krista Austin, Ph.D. "Usually if you do a gluten-free nutrition plan right, you end up replacing these with fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and other healthy foods such as yogurt, nut butters, hummus, quinoa, etc. Bottom line: we eat cleaner, more naturally-found foods and thus inflammation goes down."
In the minds of most people, this can sound like more of a headache than a training element; however, wouldn't a temporary headache be worth it if your performances were to improve?
RELATED: Is the Paleo Diet Right For Runners?
"The two most immediate things I noticed were the decrease in swelling and bathroom issues. I also didn't dehydrate any more," said Yoder Begley, who competed in the 10,000 meters at the 2008 Olympics. After her celiac diagnosis, Yoder Begley has become one of the leading forces behind spreading gluten-free awareness. "I [launched the] GF Olympian website … it answers a lot of questions about gluten-free."
Yoder Begley also wrote the forward for "Gluten Free Edge," a book catered specifically to athletes.
There's no doubt that going gluten-free is accompanied by an adjustment period, but taking advantage of today's gluten-free trend means you've got amble amounts alternatives at your disposal. Check out the following pages for some quick tips on going gluten-free along with a sample GF meal plan.

Sharon Bush plans on memoir – look for Denver days with Neil
NY tabs are reporting that former Denverite Sharon Bush did not receive $10 million from the Bush family to keep mum about her failed married to first brother Neil Bush.
They made a splash in Denver's social scene in the '80s and, later, in its banking debacle.
After 23 year married, three kids — and paltry alimony sked of $30,000-a-year for four years — she probably has a chip on the shoulder. She says she has diaries and plans to write a memoir after W leaves office.
Bill Husted's column appears Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Husted also appears Tuesdays and Fridays on "Good Day Colorado" on Fox 31. You can reach him at 303-954-1486 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

This week we're eating …
By Sue Bridge, Conway
Place 1 acorn squash, halved and scooped out, open-side up with pat of butter in each half, in pan with 1∕4 inch water, and cover with aluminum foil. Steam in moderate oven until soft. Boil 2 C. brown rice until soft. Salt and pepper lightly. Toast sunflower seeds until just browned in a little sunflower oil. Cut up fresh spinach into 1 inch bits to make 11∕2 C. Blanch very briefly in boiling water. Combine rice, sunflower seeds, spinach and add liberal amounts of grated peccorino romano cheese to taste.
Fill acorn squash with rice/seed/spinach/cheese mix, and serve warm. It's easy to make ahead and keep warm for an hour or more in a very low oven, or heat up from room temperature in a low oven.

text: Xerox PR releases enter the social world By Christopher Hosford. Published on March 05, 2012. As a direct marketing channel, public relations remains key to distributing company news about product launches, new services and other company initiatives. But PR isn't outside the influence of new digital channels, in particular social media. Xerox Corp., for example, recently decided to use social media alone—no PR release involved—to distribute information about a rebranding move. "Today, every conversation in marketing takes place within the social element," said Xerox CMO Christa Carone. "Of course there are other tools in the PR tool kit, but social is the predominant one right now." Xerox's news entailed its acquisition of Affiliated Computer Services, whose brand Xerox decided to put an end to and instead offer a Xerox-branded product. It's not an unusual move for large companies, but one that requires sensitivity to many publics, including investors and current customers. "The ACS brand wasn't extremely well-known, but we knew that it had an important customer constituent that needed to know we were making this change," Carone said. She said her team prepared a traditional news release about the elimination of the ACS brand but had some questions about it. "We stared at this news release and it didn't do much for us," Carone said. "We asked ourselves, "What are we were trying to achieve?' There was little context, and it wasn't especially newsworthy." As a result, Xerox decided to publicize the phase-out of the ACS brand via a blog posting. The issue of news release distribution is changing, said Jillian Tobias, senior account exec at PR company Boardroom Communications. "In certain industries, I actually have Twitter lists to tweet about news," Tobias said. "Social media also has been the most important tool for me when understanding national trends." Tobias said the traditional news release, optimized for search, still has a place in the marketing mix, but it depends on the client. "If you're Xerox, it may be effective. But for smaller companies, even if they have 10,000 followers, you may not be hitting the right markets with social announcements." For Xerox, the personal element was key. "We asked ourselves, "Would it be more engaging if we told a story?' " Carone said. "We said, "Let's give it a try.' If we didn't feel it was well-communicated to our constituents, we could always do a news release at a later date." Carone said that regulatory requirements, which often necessitate official publication via news releases, weren't involved in this particular case. "We were realistic about this," she said. "We realized that the announcement didn't require top-line media coverage. But we wanted to ensure that our employees and the customer base who were engaged in external social channels jumped on the news quickly." Carone said that, with this announcement, the personal touch was important. "I wrote it from a personal perspective," Carone said. "I offered a less formal tone. This doesn't work every time, and a lot of companies will have the obligation to issue a press release. But for us, social is becoming a new, important way to spread meaningful messages." Carone's blog received 2,400 visits on its first day online; and, after two days, that figure doubled. "This turned out to be a more engaging approach to distributing news," Carone said. "This isn't rocket science, but every day we're taking some risks and learning." Most Popular In this article: BtoB

Famous characters done up in 16 pixels
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Design, Internet, Video Games
Have you ever wondered what your favorite video game heroes, cartoon characters, or washed-up TV stars would look like if they were composed entirely of 16 pixels? If you have, then you're either a part of the aptly title blog "4x4 Pixels", or you did a little too much peyote your last time in Vegas.
4x4 Pixels is an experimental pixel art project by David Stoll that reduces popular characters into pixelated versions of their former selves.
Can you guess who the above character is?
Here's a little hint: "Screw you guys...I'm going home!"

Dear All,
I have just bought the Linksys WAG54G Router/Modem/Firewall, and some other products, but in my region I keep on getting disconnected every few hours from my ADSL line. I was wondering if there are any freeware programs or methods (or even if the WAG54G brings an inbuilt one) to re-connect to the ADSL. As I would not be in the house most of the time, and my parents would be the ones mostly using the wireless network for the internet, I would like to make the router automatically re-connect so that they would not have to go through the "trouble" of redialing, as they are quite computer-illiterate.
Thanks in advance,

Senior quarterback Joe Scibilia (North Tonawanda, NY/Starpoint) threw for 366 yards and five touchdowns with three of the scoring plays going for at least 40 yards as The College at Brockport remained undefeated with a 41-17 victory over The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) Saturday in a New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) game on Bob Boozer Field at Eunice Kennedy Shriver Stadium in Brockport. The win was the 100th career coaching victory for Brockport head coach Rocco Salomone.
The Golden Eagles (3-0 Overall, 1-0 NJAC) scored points in each quarter and the defense held TCNJ (1-2, 0-1) who came into the game averaging over 32 points per game to just 17 points in the contest.
TCNJ opened the game on offense but after a three-and-out series, Brockport marched down the field scoring on the first drive of the game with an 11-yard TD pass from Scibilia to senior Kazeem Are (South Orange, NJ/Columbia). The reception was the first career reception for Are who played basketball for the Golden Eagles the last two seasons before using his final season of eligibility to play football in the fall.
The teams exchanged punts for most of the remainder of the first quarter before the Lions put together a scoring drive late in the first stanza after a Brockport fumbled punt return to knot the game at 7-7.
In the second quarter, TCNJ pinned Brockport deep in its own territory with a drive that started at the two-yard line but Scibilia engineered a 98-yard scoring drive that was capped by a 57-yard scoring pass to Joseph Innes (Unadilla, NY/Unatego) giving the Golden Eagles the lead for good at 14-7.
With less than two minutes to play in the first half, TCNJ capped a seven-play drive with a 42-yard field goal to trim the lead to 14-10, Brockport wasted little time regaining double-digit lead as Scibilia hooked up with Jake Spalik (Johnson City, NY/Johnson City) on a 69-yard scoring pass on the second play of the ensuing drive.
The halftime intermission did not slow the Brockport momentum as Tyrone Nichols (Troy, NY/Lansingburgh) scored on the first play of the second half with a 55-yard run extending the Brockport lead to 28-10 just 15 seconds into the third quarter.
On the next TCNJ drive, the Lions used nine rushing plays on a 12-play drive scoring on a three-yard run to cut the lead to 11 points at 28-17 but again, Brockport did not waste time regaining control. The Golden Eagles drove the length of the field in just six plays with Innes catching a 40-yard TD pass from Scibilia. Brockport led 34-17 after the extra point attempt failed.
The Lions threatened with the next drive but freshman defensive back Kharif Pryor (Brooklyn, NY/Thomas Jefferson) recorded the first of two interceptions on the day and the teams traded punts to end the third quarter with Brockport holding on to the 34-17 advantage.
In the fourth quarter, Brockport had a drive that looked to be stalled at the 11-yard line in Lion territory but instead of attempting a field goal, Scibilia lined up for an offensive play and connected with Andrew Mrozek (Depew, NY/Lancaster) for an 11-yard TD pass to give the Golden Eagles a commanding 41-17 lead.
The next Lion drive ended early with the second interception of the day for Pryor and a later drive stalled for the Lions with a 4th-and-7 pass inside the Brockport 10-yard line falling incomplete. TCNJ had one more chance to score with less than a minute to play but an interception by junior Prince Jacobs (Brooklyn, NY/Thomas Jefferson) in the end zone ended the threat.
On the afternoon, Scibilia was 22-for-35 for 366 yards and five scoring passes while Spalik led the team with eight reception, Innes had six catches each for more than 100 receiving yards and Nichols led the running attack with 133 yards, one TD and an average of 6.3 yards per carry.
Defensively, Anthony Bianchi (Rochester, NY/Aquinas Institute) recorded a team-high 14 tackles, John O'Hagan (Pearl River, NY/Pearl River) added 11 stops and Brett Evensen recorded 10 tackles including eight solo stops. The defense recorded four interceptions and eight pass deflections.

Bernard and Alice Kappe have complained to the Capital School District Board of Education about their special needs daughter Sarah, a fourth grader at South Dover Elementary School, not getting all the help she needed for the state standardized test.
Bernard and Alice Kappe have complained to the Capital School District Board of Education about their special needs daughter Sarah, a fourth grader at South Dover Elementary School, not getting all the help she needed for the state standardized test.
In short, Sarah Kappe needed an aide to read the Delaware Comprehensive Assessment System test to her, as allowed by the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. But South Dover staff only read the answers to her, not the actual test, Alice Kappe told the school board in January.
"She has to look at the test and just stare at it, wait so many minutes and then the teacher will say, 'Are you ready?'" Alice Kappe said. "Then, she'll pick an answer just randomly. I mean, that's no way to take a test for a little, disabled child."
"It's an unfair assessment," Bernard Kappe said.
Alice Kappe added that she felt her daughter was being penalized for not being able to read.
"I mean, if you're blind you're provided with a braille reader," she said. "If you're deaf, you get a sign interpreter. We want a reader to be added for the special education student who can't read during the DCAS test."
Capital Board of Education member Matthew Lindell said he would not rest until this issue was resolved. In short, Lindell was frustrated that the state would comply with federal audits of Individualized Education Plans to ensure compliance on the part of schools only to see schools punished for providing accommodations for state tests that were allowed under IDEA and the federal government.
"My wife's a special ed teacher and I have students in my class who are just as frustrated as you," Lindell said. "And that's going to be my goal, to continue to try to fix this problem, starting with the issue at South Dover.
"It's not that your teachers or your principal want to deny you that right," he added. "It's much bigger than that with the state and federal guidelines. And I'm not going to rest until someone does something. I'll be talking to every single person and legislator to fix this."
All of Capital's schools met adequate yearly progress (AYP) except for South Dover Elementary School, who was penalized for its special education students not meeting state targets.
Lindell fired off a Jan. 19, 2013 letter to Gov. Jack Markell, Lt. Gov. Matt Denn, state Secretary of Education Mark Murphy and a slew of state legislators to reiterate his concerns regarding the state punishing those schools and students with special needs who have a reading accommodation in their Individualized Education Plan for DCAS.
"Why do you put our schools in the position of sacrificing a few students with special needs (not giving them the reading accommodation when they really need it) in order to meet a flawed AYP target?" Lindell wrote, in part. "Please make an effort to answer these questions, if not for me, for Sarah and the many other children and parents in this great state that have become collateral damage."
Capital School District Assistant Superintendent Dr. Tina Huff said the district was following up on the matter. But she declined to comment further due to confidentiality laws.

TASHKENT, Uzbekistan (AP) — Top-seeded Bojana Jovanovski earned her second career WTA title on Saturday by outlasting Olga Govortsova 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (3) in the final of the Tashkent Open.
Jovanovski was broken twice in the first set but bounced back by breaking her opponent three times in the second. Both players finished with five breaks of serve each in a match that lasted nearly 3 hours.
The 21-year-old Jovanovski also won a tournament in Baku last year, while the 113th-ranked Govortsova was looking for her first WTA title. She made her first Grand Slam appearance at this year's U.S. Open.

The estimable Bing West is the author of The Wrong War: Grit, Strategy, and the Way Out of Afghanistan, just published by Random House. Andrew Exum, a former Ranger officer with combat experience in Afghanistan, reviewed it for the Wall Street Journal's Saturday Review section the weekend before last. Yesterday's New York Times Book Review featured the review by former Times combat correspondent (now New Yorker staff writer) Dexter Filkins on page one.
Filkins writes:
So what's wrong? Why hasn't the new faith in Afghanistan delivered the success it promises? In his remarkable book, "The Wrong War," Bing West goes a long way to answering that question. "The Wrong War" amounts to a crushing and seemingly irrefutable critique of the American plan in Afghanistan. It should be read by anyone who wants to understand why the war there is so hard.
Filkins notes in passing:
At age 70, West, the author of several books on America's wars, went to Afghanistan and into the bases and out on patrols with the grunts, waded through the canals, ran through firefights and humped up the mountains. (At one point he contracted cholera and was evacuated by helicopter.) Embedding with American troops in God-forsaken places like Kunar and Helmand Provinces is hard business. What drives this man? West is worth a book in himself.
Both Exum and Filkins are knowledgeable observers, and both their reviews of this important book are worth reading in themselves.

Focus Finds Will Smith a New 23-Year-Old Love Interest in Kristen Stewart's Stead
She's the exact same age as Stewart, who left because of the age gap between herself and Smith.
Back in April, Will Smith took over Ben Affleck's role in Focus, and Kristen Stewart peaced out, citing too large an age gap between herself and Smith. (Smith: 44; Affleck: 40; awkwardness: 100.) Now the film from Crazy, Stupid, Love. writer/director duo Glenn Ficarra and John Requa has found a new love interest for Smith in Margot Robbie, an Australian actress who'll appear in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street. She beat out Olivia Munn, Michelle Williams, Jessica Biel, and Rose Byrne for Focus. Like K-Stew, Robbie is 23.

Mechanical collapse, or "sinking," of the distal phalanx (coffin bone) is a devastating complication of laminitis. Prognoses for these cases are often poor, but foot casts might improve horses' survival rates if applied early in the sinking process. Raul Bras, DVM, CJF, of Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital's podiatry center, in Lexington, Ky., relayed his and colleagues' experiences using foot casts on laminitic horses at the 6th International Equine Conference on Laminitis and Diseases of the Foot, held Oct. 28-31 in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Simply put, laminitis is an inflammation of the laminae--interlocking leaflike tissues attaching the hoof to the coffin bone--that can strike any number of feet on any horse due to a variety of triggers such as high-carbohydrate diets to mechanical overload. When treating a laminitic horse, Bras' objectives for limiting coffin bone displacement include reducing the horse's body weight to lessen the load on the foot; ensuring weight bearing is shared by the sole and frog; redistributing weight bearing from the most stressed portion of the wall to the least stressed; and decreasing mechanical forces around the distal interphalangeal (coffin) joint. He explained that the benefits of using a foot cast to achieve this include:
To determine how effective foot casts are in treating displacement cases, Bras reviewed Rood & Riddle records from 2005-11 of 43 horses with laminitis secondary to a systemic illness (e.g., colitis, pneumonia) that were treated with foot casts. The majority of horses were Thoroughbred broodmares, but a variety of other breeds also were represented.
The horses were monitored initially for early clinical signs of displacement such as coronary band ledging, in which a ledge or depression can be felt in the soft tissue nearest the hoof wall. The treating veterinarian then performed subcoronary "grooving" in each animal's hoof wall about a half inch below the hairline to try to relieve pressure prior to applying a cast. He or she applied a sole support material, a felt pad (to avoid cast sores), Stockinette cotton cast padding, and fiberglass casting tape to create a cast encasing the entire foot and pastern. Once the cast was set the veterinarian applied a shallow dome made of acrylic material to the ground surface of the cast, allowing the foot to break over in any direction and focusing the load under the coffin joint.
Casts remained on the horses for about 30 days before removal and hoof reevaluation. The veterinarian reapplied each cast as many times as needed and removed it when displacement was no longer evident. Long-term follow-up on these horses continued for at least two years, and their outcomes were considered successful if they were pasture sound. Of these horses, 47% survived, which is a better-than-expected outcome, according to Bras.
Thus, "Foot casts are an effective technique to manage (coffin bone) displacement of horses with acute or early chronic laminitis," Bras concluded. "The whole idea is to prevent further damage."

The written records for the Cape of Good Hope in this period are all by Europeans, primarily men, and therefore it is difficult to find unmediated views of the cultures of the Khoikhoi and the slaves. In all discussions with students, this problem of perspective should be kept in mind. Note, however, that the European perspective was not monolithic. There were a variety of types of sources, and people always have many and conflicting motivations.
These sources show how closely the different groups at the Cape interacted with one another, and how much their lives depended on one another. These relationships were not always adversarial or coerced. Nevertheless, definite prejudices are expressed in several of these sources, and in class discussions, students should explore the ways in which racial hierarchies came into being at the Cape in this formative period of European settlement.
Because the Khoikhoi were the first peoples of the Cape, and had a well-established traditional way of life before the coming of the Europeans and their slaves, a few of the sources focus on the Khoikhoi alone. The account of the dance, the rock art, and the image of the digging stick allow students to glimpse a way of life and a worldview that is and was markedly different from that of Europeans.
Finally, these sources are ambiguous and allow for many different interpretations. As you dig into these sources with your students, do not feel that there is only one correct way for the discussion to go.
Always go from the surface to the depths: in other words, first ask students to describe very literally the contents of the source; then start looking for meaning. As you start considering meaning, think about the context of the sourcethe audience for which it was written, painted, or made. Think about the uses of the source. Consider role-playing exercises to understand those sources that talk about relationships among people.
Discussion Questions:
- In what ways was Eva/Krotoa a woman suspended between cultures?
- Peter Kolb objects to European children being brought up by Khoikhoi or slave nannies on the basis of religion, but what else can we learn about interaction among the various cultures at the Cape from his writings?
- What can we understand from these sources about political and personal relationships among Europeans, Khoikhoi, and slaves at the Cape?
- What was life like for the Khoikhoi after the foundation of the European colony at the Cape?

Sporting v Manchester City; Europa League; Estadio Jose Alvalade; Thursday 8 March 2012, 18:00 KO
Team News
Roberto Mancini will be without both Yaya Toure (suspended) and Pablo Zabaleta (hamstring) for tonight's trip to Lisbon, with Micah Richards in line for a recall to the starting line-up after missing Manchester City's weekend win over Bolton.
Carlos Tevez is back in training and scored for the reserves earlier in the week, but the Argentine striker will not feature as he is not registered for the Europa League competition, neither is Owen Hargreaves.
Meanwhile, Mario Balotelli is in the City squad, despite his recent fine for breaking a club curfew, and is set to start at Estadio Jose Alvalade this evening.
Sporting have come a long way in the Europa League this season, having topped their group and then beaten Legia Warsaw in the knockout round of 32.
Ricardo Sa Pinto's side are a competitive force and should not be taken lightly.
Patricio plots City surprise
Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Rui Patricio insists his teammates will approach tonight's Europa League last-16 encounter against Manchester City like any other game, and says the players hold no fear.
The Premier League leaders go into the match as strong favourites, but the Portuguese international believes that Roberto Mancini's charges could be set for a surprise if they fail to have done their homework ahead of tonight's clash.
"We don't worry about people considering the English club as favourite, and perhaps that can be a positive for us," Patricio told Sky Sports. "The match will be difficult because City are a huge club, but we have to be optimistic."
Sporting lost 1-0 to Vitoria Setubal at the weekend, while City recorded a comfortable victory over Bolton Wanderers, and remain two points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
However, Patricio believes that domestic form goes out of the window in European competition, and says that he and his teammates have already put their recent loss behind them.
"The defeat at the weekend is forgotten, we have learned from those errors and will not repeat them against City," he added. "Our goal is not to concede at home, that will make for a better match in Manchester."

TV Guide UK
See what's on telly - quick
Android App of the Week
I've not bought a TV guide for many a moon, but that doesn't mean I want to sit in So, to keep abreast of what's on the box, I depend on the tv24.co.uk app which is easy to understand, simple to use and, above all, fast.
Open the app and you're presented with a clear and easy-to-read list of what's on at the time, along with tabs to narrow the view to either movies or sport. You can't re-order channels but you can filter out any that are not part of your package.
Simplicity is key - even down to the channel filter (right)
I'm not entirely sure how the app selects what order to list channels in, but it starts with BBCs One, Two, Three and Four and then carries on in a way that makes perfect sense to me, so I'm not complaining.
Flip to the movies page and a useful progress bar shows you how much you have missed of any films screening at the time. Scroll down to a film with no green in the bar and you can see instantly that you are looking at a movie that hasn't yet started.
The movie progress bar (left) is handy, and the programme descriptions (right) are good
The main channel guide presents the current programme in bold with the next two listed below making it very easy to see what's on and what's coming up next. Tap on a channel and it opens up to show a detailed description of each programme and its running time.
This detailed view also lets you scroll through each channels complete daily schedule. Tap and hold on a programme and you can share it with your social network or more usefully set an alarm reminder for various times before the start of the show.
Regional variations are covered (left), and you can set up reminders (right) so you don't miss anything
TV listings extend 14 days into the future. In the main view, you can tap the "What's On" bar to move to another day or time, or use the +/- buttons to navigate backwards or forwards in half-hour hops. Use those same buttons on the sports or movies pages and you move back or forward by 24 hours.
Simplicity aside, what sets the tv24 app apart from the other listings apps I've tried is the quality of the programme descriptions and the speed at which it loads. Even at the end of dodgy GPRS signal in deepest North Wales over the Christmas holidays it worked a treat. ®

Cultural life at the University of Sopron
Cultural life at the University of Sopron is diverse and abounding. Here we can only enumerate the annually organised central cultural programs and the artistic groups.
The first cultural event of the New Year is the celebration of the Day of Hungarian Culture and the announcement of the prize winners in the competitions held for students. On the birthday of our national anthem students with an enterprising spirit and creative talent compete with their masterpieces of literature, music and works of fine arts, which can be seen at the virtual exhibition hall on the homepage of the university.
Two representative events of carnival time are; the choice of the wine of the university for the given year and the organisation of the university ball. The wine competition organised jointly with the Sopron Wine Marketing Association invites wine growers of the Sopron wine region to participate every year. The renowned professional and non-professional jury awards the honourable title "The Wine of the University of Sopron" to the best deserving of the Bluefrankish and Bluefrankish based Cuvée wines qualified by the National Wine Qualification Institute. The winning wine is presented at a wine tasting at the university ball and is used for representation purposes by the heads of the university in the given year.
The anniversary of the 1848/49 revolution and freedom fight is the first among our national commemoration days; it is celebrated in common with the Local Government of the City of Sopron. At the "Youth March – Sopron" festive programmes, heads of the university deliver speeches, our students (reciters, musicians, dancers) provide the festive program and a decorative lining up in their uniforms (waldens) at the memorial places.
The commemorative ceremonies of the 1956 revolution have a prominent role among our national holidays, which are held at the memorial places of the university campus. The university professors and students of that time were decisive participants in the Sopron events of the revolution. Their heroism and willingness to sacrifice and the memory of their fellows forced into emigration to Canada is guarded with reverence by the present citizens of the university at the MEFESZ memorial plaque on the building of the Faculty of Forestry, at the watch-fires and at the monument erected on the occasion of the semi-centennial of the '56 revolution in the botanical garden.
The greatest central cultural event of the university is the traditional festive concert held every year at Advent. The artistic groups and soloists of the faculties present their performances this evening.
