UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The results are in and the Penn State women's volleyball team has been picked as the preseason favorite in the Big Ten Preseason Coaches' Poll, as released the conference Friday (Aug. 16) morning. The first-place nod is Penn State's eighth within the last nine years.
The defending Big Ten champion Nittany Lions are also well represented on the All-Big Ten preseason team with five players making the list, the most of any squad within the conference. Senior Ariel Scott (Ridgewood, N.J.) is one of three unanimous selections, and is joined by Megan Courtney (Dayton Ohio), Micha Hancock (Edmond, Okla.), Deja McClendon (Louisville, K.Y.) and Katie Slay (Raleigh, N.C.).
Scott is a two-time Preseason All-Big Ten selection and a 2012 First Team AVCA All-American. The 2012 Big Ten Player of the Year returns to the court for her senior season after starting all 36 games last season. She led the squad with a team-best, 469 kills, averaging 3.75 per set with a .308 hitting clip. The NCAA West Lafayette Regional Championship MVP recorded double-digit kills in 24-of-26 matches.
Courtney returns in 2013 following a standout rookie campaign, including AVCA Mideast Region and Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors. She appeared in all 36 matches for the Nittany Lions, starting 35 at outside hitter. Courtney concluded 2012 with 240 kills, averaging 2.00 per set, while tallying 237 digs, all good for fourth on the team.
Hancock is another AVCA First Team All-American who returns as a leader on the court, having also earned the inaugural Big Ten Setter of the Year award in 2012, along with six Big Ten Setter of the Week honors and two Player of the Week accolades. She handled all the setting for the Nittany Lions in 2012, totaling 1,403 assists, averaging 11.22 per set. Hancock also paced the PSU offense to a .302 hitting percentage last season, which led the Big Ten and ranked third nationally. Hancock also highlighted her sophomore season with an NCAA Tournament record, posting 22 aces in the event, improving her career mark to 172, which ranks fourth the Penn State all-time list.
McClendon earned her third consecutive Preseason All-Big Ten honor after earned her third straight AVCA All-American honors in 2012, being tabbed to the third team. The unanimous All-Big Ten selection eclipsed the 1,000 career kills mark in 2012 and started all 36 matches at outside hitter. The AVCA Mideast Region honoree finished last season ranked second on the squad with 403 kills, averaging 3.25 per set, while also recording at least three digs in 34-of36 matches for the Lions.
Slay is a three-time Preseason All-Big Ten selection and earned her second straight AVCA All-American honors last season, picking up another second team laurel. The All-Big Ten and AVCA Mideast Region selection led the Nittany Lions in blocking with 164 blocks, averaging 1.34 per set, which topped the Big Ten and ranked 27th nationally. Slay registered at least one block in every match in 2012, recording 30 multi-block matches. She also followed with a team-high .462 hitting percentage, which ranked second in the Big Ten and 27th nationally.
The Nittany Lions open the 2013 season hosting the Penn State Invitational on Aug. 30-31. They will welcome Syracuse and Louisville to Rec Hall for the first two matches of the season, following an exhibition match with Dabrowa, a premier professional team from Poland.
Season tickets for the 2013 Penn State women's volleyball season are currently available for purchase by calling 1-800-NITTANY or by visiting the Athletics Ticket Office in the Bryce Jordan Center during normal business hours. Single-game tickets will go on sale Monday, Aug. 19 at noon.

Cheyney Officials Host International Visitors for Campus Tour
June 16, 2011
Cheyney University Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs Ivan Banks hosted Liberian Deputy Minister of Education Mator Kpangbai on June 10 as part of the Education Roundtable tour of area universities.
"The intent of the Roundtable was to explore areas of collaboration in an effort to help restore the Liberian education system after years of civil war," said Vice President Ivan Banks.
Accompanying Minister Kpangbai were Dr. Elizabeth Davis-Russell, President of the William V.S. Tubman University, Reverend Rita Townsend, Vice President for Institutional Advancement of William V.S. Tubman University, and Stanley L. Straughter, Chairman of the Mayor's Commission on African and Caribbean Immigrant Affairs.
The Delegation met with Vice President Banks, Executive Associate to the Provost Barbara Simmons, and Vice President of Institutional Advancement Larry Green and toured the Cheyney University Aquaculture Research and Educational Laboratory. Cheyney University officials later co-hosted an education forum with the University of Pennsylvania where members of the Liberian delegation met with officials from Lincoln University, Drexel University and The Thurgood Marshall College Fund.

In January, those people with a misdemeanor non-violent warrant can get a fresh start in 2013 and helps pave the way to a rejuvenated record.
How this works — if a person has a warrant with RPD, they can come into the Police Department and we will give them a court date for a mandatory court appearance, instead of taking them to jail.
This plan does not apply to any person with a warrant who is stopped or contacted by a law enforcement officer at any other location. This has to be a voluntary commitment of the person with the warrant to come in to the police department and be served a court date in person.
The amnesty does not apply to anyone that is on our top ten list.
For further Information, contact RPD Warrants Officer James Hodge or Corporal Beyette at (479) 968-3232.

Although 2011 was officially The Year of Adele, she's still going strong two years later on the cover of ELLE's Women In Music Issue.
The annual edition of the magazine celebrates the female artists who have made their mark on the music world, and Adele has certainly done that. She took home six GRAMMYs in 2012 with 21 and additional one this year for Best Pop Solo Performance. Last year, her already two-year-old record came in as the best-selling album two years in a row (the first album to earn that honor in the history of SoundScan) and basically saved the music industry.
Thomas Whiteside/ELLE
We're already all in awe of all her 21 success and we didn't even mention that her recent Golden Globe and Oscar wins for her Bond theme "Skyfall," make her one Tony award away from earning the coveted EGOT. It really gets you thinking – Is there anything Adele can't do?

Adelaide and Perth draw 1-1 in A-League
Adelaide United talisman Dario Vidosic scored again in a 1-1 draw with Perth Glory, but couldn't prevent the Reds losing top spot of the A-League on Sunday.
Vidosic's second goal in as many matches ensured a Hindmarsh Stadium stalemate, equalising after Glory attacker Billy Mehmet's opening half strike.
Adelaide's point for the draw wasn't enough to prevent Central Coast Mariners assuming top spot on goal difference after six rounds, while Perth remain in fourth position.
The Glory had their chances for a precious away win after taking the lead courtesy of Mehmet's 43rd minute strike.
Mehmet scored after a copybook build-up as the Glory sliced through Adelaide's defence with a series of swift passes.
Nick Ward started the scoring sortie with a slick pass inside the box to Dean Heffernan, who in turn delivered an angled pass across the face of goal to the moving Mehmet.
The Glory striker finished clinically from a couple of metres out, scoring from Perth's only shot on target in the opening half.
But Adelaide took just three minutes of the second half to equalise, when Vidosic goaled as Perth appealed for an off-side ruling.
Vidosic sprinted forward as midfielder Marcelo Carrusca delivered an insightful long pass which found the Adelaide star in space some 10 metre from goal.
Vidosic swivelled and an accurate right-footer just beat a diving Glory goalkeeper Daniel Vukovic.
Some 15 minutes later, Perth were centimetres from again taking an ascendancy when Ward cracked a header into the cross bar from a Scott Jamieson corner.
Perth's star striker Shane Smeltz, returning from a hamstring strain which has restricted him to one game this season, was then brought from the bench with almost instant impact.
Smeltz was barely on for two minutes when he launched a low shot which Adelaide 'keeper Eugene Galekovic saved.
Adelaide United coach John Kosmina and his Perth Glory counterpart Ian Ferguson both said the draw was a fair result.
But Kosmina said the Reds would feel more pain given it was a home game.
"Every time you drop two points it is costly, but it's only six games into the season, there are still 21 to go," Kosmina said.
"If there is a bottleneck (at the top) and we're still in it with six games to go, I would be pretty happy.
Ferguson said sharing the spoils was justified.
"Both teams had some great opportunities and overall it was a fair game and an even game, 1-1 was a fair result," he said.

I've been writing since I was four. I'll let you be the judge of how much my writing has improved since then. ;) All I know is I love it, and am never 100% satisfied with my stories (like most of you, I'm sure). I hope to make a living of writing...someday.
I'm not afraid of honesty. Period. So please, leave honest reviews. I try to respond to all of them, and keep everyone posted with my author's notes. If you have any questions, comments, etc., feel free to tell me. I like talking to people. :D
I mostly enjoy reading fantasy and science fiction. When it comes to fan fiction, I mostly read non-canon romances (Draco/Hermione, Harry/Draco, Harry/Hermione etc.), anything involving the Weasley twins, or Draco Malfoy.
I have a few story ideas floating around my head lately, some HP, some not. I hope to get them all written sometime soon, but we'll see. I'm pretty busy between school and homework.
Finally, my interests: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, language (particularly German and Japanese), live theatre, school in general, writing, friends, and music.

TI Tiva Series Slashes IoT Costs to $19
Post a comment
Texas Instruments has pushed the Tiva Series of development boards to a new place today. The Tiva C series TM4C1294 not only aims to secure a place in the Internet of Things, but also on the workbenches of tinkerers, since the price point is only $19.
At the heart of the Tiva C TM4C1294 is the extremely capable TM4c1294ncpdt mcu, a 120 MHz 32-bit ARM-Cortex M4F, with which we are already familiar. However, the last time we saw this on a development board, the price was $199! Even though it is astonishingly cheaper, this new offering doesn't skimp on the features. Loaded on this board are more expansion capabilities than you could possibly ask for. The creators have included not only two of their stackable expansion ports, called "booster ports," but also an area for freeform prototyping included directly on the PCB.
Not only do you have access to the normal development tools that TI would typically include, but thanks to a collaboration with Exosite there is also a cloud-based interface for interacting with the board.
The Tiva C TM4C1294 is set to ship in roughly six to eight weeks, if you get an order in now.

Karla Micheli
September 14, 2012
Program: Joint MPA/International Education Management
Specialization: Education and cross-cultural communications
Undergrad: Columbia College Chicago (Marketing)
Fast Fact: Karla has traveled, volunteered and worked in 20 different countries.
"I truly believe the biggest way I can make a difference in this world is through educating communities."
After graduating from college with a degree in marketing, Karla set off around the world backpacking and volunteering throughout the Pacific Islands and Asia. Volunteering in Siem Reap, Cambodia and in Kolkata, India as well as serving in AmeriCorps VISTA influenced her life direction and ultimately led her to the Monterey Institute.
Karla first came to the Monterey Institute for a campus visit and knew right away that she liked the vibe and the culture that MIIS has to offer. She says she chose to pursue her master's degree at MIIS for multiple reasons.
"I like that the school is small and specialized to my interests and has a diverse student population. I also really like their involvement with the Peace Corps Master's International Program as well as the scholarships I received - including my AmeriCorps scholarship."
What Karla enjoys most about her program is the hands on approach and opportunities to get involved on and off campus. Karla is pursuing a joint degree in public administration and international education management. So naturally, her focus is on education and cross-cultural communications.
"Education has continually proven to be one of the best indicators of quality of life and productivity of a country. Through my studies and field work experience, the importance of education has become clear and I truly believe the biggest way I can make a difference in this world is through educational development."


text: "Long before the lost generation or 1960s rock poets, there was a 19th-century movable feast of interlinked English poets and thinkers that was even more fascinating and combustible. Cambridge Ph.D. Hay, in her first book, delves with scholarly relish into the unorthodox lifestyles and fluid (including quasi-incestuous and incestuous) households of several key figures: vegetarians Percy and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley; Mary Shelley's stepsister Jane, aka Claire Clairmont; Lord Byron; John Keats; and the little-read today but central revolutionary, Leigh Hunt. The key years are 1813 to 1822, effectively terminating with Shelley's drowning at sea not long after Keats's death from tuberculosis. New here is Claire's autobiographical fragmentarchived in the New York Public Libraryin which she rakes the libertarians Shelley and Byron, whose daughter she bore, over her emotional coals. Well handled is the so-called summer of Frankenstein, and how, over the nine years Hay chronicles, the boundaries of monogamy were pushed to the breaking point."Publishers Weekly

ABC News Women's Issues Poll, July 1992 (ICPSR 9936)
Principal Investigator(s): ABC News
In this survey, female respondents were asked about issues and problems of particular concern to women. Respondents selected the biggest problems facing women from a list covering the areas of health, children, employment, abortion, crime, and marriage. Comments were solicited on whether this country had made most of the changes needed to give women equal rights with men, and whether respondents had a favorable view of the National Organization for Women (NOW). Respondents were asked to look back on their lives and to indicate whether they wished they had placed more or less emphasis on things such as education, preparation for a career or work outside the home, children, husbands or close romantic relationships, and time for themselves. Those surveyed indicated the extent to which they worried about adequate family medical care, obtaining a legal abortion, sexual harassment, breast cancer, and managing both a job and home life. Additional questions asked if the trend toward both parents working outside the home had a positive or negative effect on families, and if respondents agreed with a series of statements ranging from "Many men today are not as committed to marriage as they used to be," to "I sometimes wish that we could go back to the days when most women didn't work outside the home." Background information on respondents includes political alignment, education, age, marital status, employment status, race, household income, parental status, and employment outside the home.

Comparison of hematologic and serologic profiles of broiler birds with normal and severe degrees of white striping in breast fillets [abstract]. Poultry Science Association Meeting Abstract. 91:(Suppl 1):148. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: "White Striping" (WS) is the abnormal white striation seen parallel to the direction of muscle fibers in broiler breast fillets and thighs with variable frequency at processing. Broiler breast fillets can be categorized as normal (NORM), moderate (MOD) and severe (SEV) based on thedegree of WS. Histologically, the SEV fillets are characterized by chronic degeneration of muscle fibers along with fibrosis and lipidosis when compared with NORM. The present study was undertaken to compare the hematologic and serologic profiles of broilers with NORM and SEV degrees of WS. In this study, day-old male broiler chicks of a commercial strain were grown on the same diet in 6 replicate pens (n = 32 birds/pen). Blood samples (5mL) were collected from the wing vein of each bird on the day before processing (62d) for analyzing hematologic and serologic profiles. At 63d, the birds were weighed and processed in a commercial-style inline processing system. Weight of the butterfly fillets, liver and abdominal fat pad were recorded. Left-side fillets were scored to obtain the degree of WS for each bird. Hematologic and serologic profiles of blood from birds that exhibited either NORM (n = 24) or SEV (n = 17) breast fillets were compared. The SEV birds had a higher (P < 0.05) live, fillet and liver weights as well as fillet yield when compared with the NORM birds, but the abdominal fat yield was lower (P < 0.05) in SEV birds. No differences (P > 0.05) were observed in differential leucocyte counts between groups. The SEV birds had elevated (P < 0.05) levels of creatine kinase, alanine transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase. These results suggest that there is no systemic infectious or inflammatory condition associated with SEV degree of WS, and the elevated serum enzyme levels in the SEV birds confirm the muscle damage.

Everyone, thank you so much for reporting bugs in the last 2 days! Slowly the new environment is getting better and faster. I've spent many hours to fix the problems and try to get things stable again, so your help is really useful and really appreciated. :D
I've noticed a few threads about some errors that I cannot find yet. Like the profile error, however when I check the profiles I don't see any error line. So, there is probably one server that is causing the troubles.
If you see an error, please go immediately (within 5 minutes actually :p) to this page: http://www.narutobase.net/Debug.html
and post the info in this thread.
After 5 minutes idle-ing, you will be switched to another server if you come back to NarutoBase again so it is important to check the link quickly if you found a problem.
I'll sticky this thread for the time being so we have a main thread for the bugs.
Thanks again!!:worshippy:

A long-planned dam on the Tigris River, just upstream from Eski Mosul (Balad) in Iraq was built between 1981 and 1985. As with the Hamrin and Haditha Dam Salvage Projects, Iraqi and foreign expeditions cooperated in investigating the sites to be flooded in the Eski Mosul Dam Salvage Project (later called the Saddam Dam Basin Salvage Project).
The major crossings of the Tigris River are outside the area of the project at Nineveh, Balad (Eski Mosul), and Cizre, but the Tigris can be readily crossed when it is not in flood and routes cross the region at Abu Dhahir and at Zummar. In general, however, the main routes avoid the broken terrain beside the river and follow courses outside the area. The main road north from Nineveh skirted the southeastern part of the area of the project, however.
The geomorphology of the region has not been adequately investigated, but excavations at sites such as Tell Kutan and Kharabeh Shattani showed that there has been considerable erosion and deposition. After rainstorms, the wadis were very active. It would be unwise to infer that the present topography closely resembles the ancient, but it is likely that in general the environment has not changed greatly since prehistoric times. Beside the river was a narrow floodpain bordered by rolling hills, often with the bedrock emerging: indeed, the area had been used as a quarry. The region is cut by a series of wadis draining into the Tigris. Most of these are dry for most of the year, but the Baqaq stream is perennial. The annual rainfall is about 450 mm and, where the soils were suitable, it was possible to practice dry farming. There is evidence for small canals, particularly along the Baqaq stream, that seem to be associated with a series of water mills of fairly recent date rather than with irrigation.
The top of the dam is 317.5 m above mean sea level and about 435 sq km (270 sq. mi.) is to be flooded. The lake extends about 70 km (43 mi.) upstream, as far as the Syrian border, and covers a ribbon of land which at its widest point is fewer than 8 km (5 mi.) from the old river course. In the original survey of the area by the Iraqi State Organization for Antiquities and Heritage, 149 sites were identified. There were only a few large sites: the most impressive (550 × 300 m) was Tell Jikan (Jigan), where Victor Place had excavated briefly in the nineteenth century; also impressive were Tell Selal and Tell Abu Dhahir, which also covered several hectares. These major sites were situated where wadis and relatively easy routes reached the Tigris and where the immediate terrain was quite flat and suitable for agriculture. Most of the sites in the region were small and occupied for limited periods. Some sixty-three sites were excavated in the course of the project, including twenty-one not located in the original survey. Most of the excavated sites were situated in the southeastern part of the area and along the south side of the river. For security reasons, only a few sites were investigated farther upstream on the north side of the river.
The Iraqi State Organization for Antiquities and Heritage excavated some twenty-three sites. The University of Mosul excavated four important sites on the south side of the river, Abu Dhahir, Mseifneh, Tell Dhuwaij, and Tell Selal. British teams from the British School of Archaeology in Iraq, the British Museum, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of Manchester worked on some fifteen sites, mostly in the southeastern part of the area and in the region near Abu Dhahir. Japanese archaeologists from Kokushikan University worked on seven sites near Jikan and near Zummar. A Polish team excavated sites near Rifan Ulya and at the Aceramic Neolithic site of Nemrik. In addition, Austrian, French, German, German/Italian, Italian, and Russian teams worked on a smaller number of sites.
A Polish survey in the region of Rifan identified some twenty-two locations where Lower Paleolithic tools were found; sixty Middle Paleolithic and twenty-three Upper Paleolithic tools also were recovered. Hand axes were occasionally found elsewhere in the project area. Two Pre-Pottery Neolithic sites were excavated. At Nemrik, which lies just above the area to be flooded, semisunken round houses with tauf (Ar., similar to terre pisé) and mud-brick walls were found. At Der Hall, an aceramic level was found, but the artifacts were not in situ.
Five Hassuna sites were excavated. The Hassuna remains at Tell Abu Dhahir could be traced over an area of about 2 ha (5 acres). At Kharabeh Shattani, the Hassuna level was covered by a compacted silty layer 1.2 m thick, on which a Halaf settlement was built. Only one site was excavated for which Samarra pottery has been published, but as many as nine sites were excavated with Halaf pottery. At Kharabeh Shattani several round houses (tholoi) were uncovered. At Khirbet Derak a series of bullae with stamp-seal impressions on them were found. At Derak and at Khirbeh Hatareh there was evidence for a gradual transition from the Halaf to the Ubaid pottery style, with intermediate types being recognized. Some eight sites with Ubaid pottery were excavated. No substantial architecture of the period has been published.
Early Uruk or Gawra period occupations were identified on four sites. At Tell Mishrifeh houses with possibly tripartite plans and at Tell Karraneh 1 and 2 megaron-type buildings like those from Tepe Gawra levels IX–XI were found. The impression given by the results of the investigations in the Eski Mosul Dam Salvage Project strongly supports the view that the Gawra period precedes the Late Uruk period. It has been suggested that two rival cultures coexisted in northern Mesopotamia; a local one typified by Gawra and a second heavily influenced by the southern Uruk civilization represented by level IV at Nineveh. This southern-influenced culture was thought to have formed an elite dominating the local culture. The idea, however, receives no support from the excavations in the Eski Mosul region.
Local Late Uruk occupations characterized by beveledrim bowls, incised jars, and spouted vessels, for example, were found on some eight sites. Excavations at a number of sites, particularly at Tell Mohammed Arab, have elucidated the sequence from the Late Uruk to the Ninevite 5 period and have resolved some of the long-standing problems of ceramic development in this period. A gradual transformation from the painted Uruk pottery to the painted Ninevite 5 and from the fineware Uruk vessels to the Ninevite 5 could be shown. The gradual introduction and development of incised gray ware and excised gray ware were demonstrated by the stratigraphic excavation at Tell Mohammed Arab and by a comparison with assemblages from shorter-lived sites. Also for the first time, an exposure of architecture revealed that small two-room rectangular dwellings were the norm in the Ninevite 5 period. Some nineteen sites with Ninevite 5 levels were excavated. Most of these occupations were small and were not long-lived. Thus, although the number of sites was large, the population in any one period could have been quite small. It should be noted that Painted Ninevite 5 pottery was found in widely separated soundings on Tell Jikan, suggesting that an extensive area, perhaps as much as 15 ha (37 acres), was occupied in this period.
The fine decorated gray ware of the Ninevite 5 period appears to have been the forerunner of the distinctive hard fineware of the Taya period. The transition from one to the other has not been found in excavations to date, and there seem to be important changes that occurred with the introduction of this new style. In particular, at Tell Jikan the construction of the city wall was associated with this new style. Similar indications of urbanization have been found elsewhere in northern Iraq and in the Khabur region in this period. At Tell Karraneh 1 an interesting group of six terracotta objects was recovered, five shaped like phalli and the sixth with a molded stylized human head. In the Eski Mosul Dam Salvage Project, nine sites of this period were excavated, which corresponds roughly to the Akkadian and Ur III periods in the south.
The largest number of sites excavated (twenty-two) belonged to the Khabur period. On many of these, areas of housing consisting of large buildings with many rectangular rooms were excavated. Nuzi ware was recovered at about a dozen sites, but for the most part these were occasional sherds and did not form a large proportion of the pottery assemblage.
A similar number of sites belonging to the Middle Assyrian period was excavated. Tell Mohammed Arab provided a good sequence of pottery and associated buildings. At this site a characteristic plan of a rectangular building with one large rectangular room and three or four smaller squarish rooms was identified.
Expectations that important Late Assyrian remains would be found were high, as inscribed bricks of Sargon II had been published as coming from Jikan; it was also speculated that Jikan might have been ancient Kurbail. Further research showed that the bricks in question came from Khorsabad, and excavations at Jikan failed to reveal substantial buildings of the Late Assyrian period. At Tell Baqaq 2, beside the main road leading north, however, the remains of a small palace were found. It included several courtyards, a throne room with stone tramlines, (parallel lines of stone paving, commonly found in the throne rooms of Assyrian palaces, perhaps used for a brazier on wheels), a bathroom, and a few cuneiform tablets dated to about 800 BCE. At Khatuniyeh, the vivid remains of the site's destruction, presumably at or near the time of the destruction of Nineveh, were revealed. About a dozen other sites with less substantial remains of the period were excavated, but it does not seem to have been a time of particular prosperity in the region. It seems probable that in the Late Assyrian period arable farming was concentrated on the more fertile plains of northern Mesopotamia, and that areas such as that of the Eski Mosul region were used for animal husbandry, perhaps including horse rearing.
Following the destruction of Nineveh it is uncertain whether northern Iraq was under the control of the Medes, the Babylonians, or neither. In the second half of the sixth century BCE it became part of the extensive empire of the Persian king Cyrus, but details of the history of northern Iraq under the Achaemenids are not known. It was, therefore, surprising to find an extensive (but shallow) site at Khirbet Qasrij of the sixth or fifth centuries BCE with evidence for industrial activities, though Xenophon (Aṇabasis) mentioned extensive settlements when the ten thousand (the Greek mercenaries) retreated through this area at the end of the fifth century BCE.
In the Hellenistic period, perhaps with the revival of political stability, there were numerous relatively rich agricultural villages in the area. Apart from the pottery, which included fish plates with stamped palmettes, the most characteristic feature of these settlements was the number of deep bell-shaped grain silos dug into the ground. A small building (18 × 5.5 m) at Tell Deir Situn has been interpreted as a police post or waystation close to the main route from Nineveh leading north.
Parthian remains were identified at a few sites, but it was not clear how Parthian sites were distinguished from Hellenistic—and indeed the reports on many sites combined the two periods. In the early centuries of the first millennium CE, this region at times lay on the borders between the empires of Rome and Iran. The site of Seh Qubba may have been an outpost of Roman rule on the west bank of the Tigris, and traces of a mosaic floor were found. The site stayed in use in the Sasanian period; the walls of the city, which encircle an area of more than 100 hectares (247 acres), may have been built then.
The Sasanian period was recognized at about ten sites. The only site with substantial architectural remains was at Mseifneh, where a monastery with a fine basilican church constructed from worked stone was uncovered. This building may have been constructed in the fifth century CE; it remained in use (though perhaps not as a Christian religious building) until the Il-Khanid period. A cemetery at Tell Mohammed Arab provided evidence for the burial customs of the period. Most of the inhumations lacked funeral offerings, but a few were plentifully supplied with jewelry (e.g., beads, seals, earrings, rings, bracelets) and with glass bottles that may have held perfume.
As might be expected, almost half the sites excavated had remains from the Islamic period. Sometimes these were a few burials, but some sites had substantial buildings. At Tell Khirbet Saleh a stone and mortar structure with columns was interpreted as a heathen temple built in the ῾Abbasid period. At Deir Situn a church was dated to the thirteenth century, but fragmentary architectural remains may belong to an earlier church, perhaps originally constructed in the Sasanian period. At Mishrifeh village, a khan built in the ῾Abbasid period remained in use until the Il-Khanid period. At Tell Baqaq 3, another khan in use in the Il-Khanid period was found. At Kharabok a large courtyard building constructed in the ῾Abbasid period was rebuilt in the Il-Khanid period, when an elaborate water system was installed. Tell Selal had substantial fortifications from the Middle Islamic period.
The project area has no natural boundaries and is divided by the Tigris River and the wadis flowing into it. The majority of sites in the project were small and occupied for short periods. One consequence of this is that only very few cuneiform tablets were recovered: two Middle Assyrian tablets from Tell Madhhur, two Late Assyrian tablets from Tell Baqaq 2, and a curious hemerological tablet (tablets that list activities to be done on different days of the month) from a Hellenistic pit at Tell Fisna. These do not contribute greatly to a deeper understanding of the history of the region. The archaeological results, however, were extremely interesting: in particular, the elucidation of the chronology of the Late Uruk and Ninevite 5 periods is of importance for the whole of northern Mesopotamia.

n Gordon Novak, 64, delivery of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) — $10,000.
A narcotics investigator with the Arkansas State Police testified that confidential informants working with the Fifth Judicial Task Force purchased methamphetamine from Novak.
After his arrest, Novak allegedly admitted to using and selling methamphetamine.
n Samantha Terry, 24, failure to appear — $200,000.
Charges were filed against Terry after she failed to appear for a May 2012 court date. She said Wednesday she was living in California, but came back to Arkansas to turn herself in.
n Shanna Cunningham, 35, delivery of a controlled substance (oxycodone) — $15,000.
Charges were filed against Cunningham in August 2013 after a December 2012 incident in which she allegedly sold six oxycodone pills for $150 to a confidential informant working with law enforcement officials.
n Kenneth Hart, 37, second-degree battery — $7,500.
Russellville police officers responded to the city attorney's office at City Hall in response to a disturbance. Once they arrived, they made contact with Hart, who was allegedly arguing with employees in the office who were "visibly afraid."
According to a police report, Hart ignored the officers' requests, raised his voice and began waving his arms about. He resisted officers' attempts to arrest him and said he wanted to talk to the FBI.
Hart began actively fighting with officers and striking at them before he was finally arrested. Hart said he was hurt and requested medical treatment.
En route to the hospital, Hart allegedly took a cell phone from his pocket, called 911 and said he was being battered by police officers and wanted to talk to the FBI.
The report also stated Hart said he would file charges against the officers and "have their jobs."
Both arresting officers were said to have scrapes and cuts related to the struggle with Hart, according to the report.

command /E:4096
Create a directory where everything will go. Say, C:\projects. Create two more in there, one named mozilla and the other kmeleon. Now, unzip the respective source code packages with your favorite archive program in their respective directories.
You'll need a batch file in your projects directory to set up the environment prior to compiling:
rem --- Set VCVARS to wherever the MSVC vcvars.bat file is found set VCVARS=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 6\VC98\Bin\VCVARS32.BAT rem --- Set MOZ_TOOLS to wherever you have the moztools packaged installed set MOZ_TOOLS=C:\moztools rem --- Set CYGWINBASE to wherever cygwin is installed set CYGWINBASE=C:\cygwin rem --- Prepend Cygwin path and append moztools path rem --- This is necessary so that cygwin find is ahead of windows find.exe in the PATH, but cygwin link is after MSVC link.exe. set PATH=%CYGWINBASE%\bin;%PATH%;%MOZ_TOOLS% rem --- Set MSVC environment vars call "%VCVARS%"
Next, you'll need a .mozconfig file to place in your mozilla source code directory:

On the 1st computer I run ZA7 on I tried a clean install of build 408 and ran into various problems: XP Security Center didn't recognize ZA, auto updates didn't work for 2 days, AV scans showed plenty of errors, etc. I was able to correct all of these and now build 408 seems to be stable (the best ZA7 build so far, though still not bug free, but we're at least moving in the right direction).
Now, on the 2nd computer that runs ZA7 I decided to try an upgrade instead of a clean install. I'm happy to report that the upgrade went very well and I have none of the problems I experienced on the first computer with the added bonus that I didn't have to redo the configuration (I had quite a few expert rules that I didn't look forward to entering again).
So if anyone wants to move to build 408, I'd say try an upgrade first (if you don't have any major issues with your current configuration). Things may just work and if not, no big deal, you can always try a clean re-install later on.
Just my opinion, not a recommendation, you may choose to ignore it.

LG Rumor ReviewLG RUMOR
Using the Rumor was a breeze. The UI is quick and smooth and we had no issues with menu lag, lockups or restarts. In our testing we were able to achieve a few minutes over the rated 4.5 hours of battery life, and reception was good even in fringe areas. Callers said that we sounded clear, and on our end the volume and clarity was just fine. All-in-all the Rumor performed admirably and there isn't much to say other than that it simply works well.
For what it is, the LG Rumor can't be beat. It is a small, cheap device that will play well to the teenage crowd. Integrated AIM, Facebook and a QWERTY keypad will play to this always-connected demographic, and we like that LG and Sprint are addressing this growing market that is catered to mostly by MVNO's. While we liked many things about the Rumor, it would be nice to see a few more high-end features such as high speed data and a better camera. For the teen looking to stay connected the Rumor is the device for them, but we feel most users will want a device that is a bit more mature.
- Good form-factor and build quality
- QWERTY keypad, AIM and Facebook make it easy to stay connected
- Easy to type on
- Poor camera, especially in low light situations
- No high-speed data

I've had it for about 2 weeks now, and must say... I'm 18, sell electronics for a living, and have friends with alot of tech guys... But also I'm someone who insist on staying connected with the world.... this phone is excellent for that.... Text-messaging is awesome on this phone!

Am I missing something? The texting on the phone keypad is horrible. I have to keep changing the entry option to T9 manually. Why isnt there a setting to keep T9 as the default?! And as for the slide out qwerty, it's crap! I'm a fast typer and the keyboard can't keep up whatsoever. I don't see why the LG 260 has the moniker of "texting phone" when it doesn't live up to the "texting" part.

This phone does only basic functions. I do agree the things it can do it does well such as texting and IM and email. The phone has lots of problems such as the screen going black, phone restarting by it self and browser problems. on top of that the my content manager doesnt work! sometimes it freezes up or randomly restarts. I've also had an issue of receiving IM text notifications when i was NOT signed in on my phone. The phones browser is extremely limited. as far as navigating and media support. (cant download images or zoom in or view videos) The media player is a joke. my old samsung trace had way more options. You cant choose files to play it just searches your phone for all media except of course videos which you have to go into settings/tools/memorycardbrowser and actually select the video. also there is no eq no way of managing your files either. cant go and play a file from your memory card. you cant move items from your card to phone or vice versa unless you take the picture yourself. you cant use mp3s as ring tones unless you get them through sprint. Yeah this device is GREAT if you just want to email, chat, and stay connected. but if your someone looking to get a little bit more out of there phone this is NOT for you! I'm just angry that the guy who sold it to me didn't know what he was talking about and i didn't do my research first.

I have had my phone for two months now. I text alot and get online everyday on the phone. It has started rebooting itself when I'm in the middle of something. I have a friend who also has a Rumor and she said hers is doing the same thiing. She called sprint and they said it was a "known problem" and sent her a new one and it is doing the same. They have agreed to exchange her phone with a different model.

I received my 2nd Rumor less than a month ago. The first liked to turn off on its own. Especially when I was using the Qwerty key board. Then it started doing it when I would take pictures as well. So now a month into my 2nd one and from 3 days after I got it, the problems started. keys not responding, the slide not responding, and cutting off. I wanted my provider to replace it with another phone and they said there is a 3 strike rule. LG should be ashamed of marketing a phone with obvious tech issues.

I have the phone but I have tmobile service. I am trying to see if the phone can be unlocked and be able to be used with Tmobile. Anyone have any idea?

Horrible!!! Okay, I got the phone in May and it was amazing!!! I mean it did everything I thought it was going to do and more. It was an amazing phone and I loved it. In late August it started acting weird. Sometimes the screen would be fuzzy and I just ignored it. Like a week later it started acting up again and it went downhill from there. The screen went from fuzzy, to being like a bad T.V channel and rolling up and down on the screen, then it went black, and finally the screen went all white and it has never gone back. So if your the type of person who gets a new phone every few months then go for it, this phone is for you. But if you like to keep a phone for more than 4 months then think about a different phone because you will get frustrated with this phone. I have heard that not all of them do this, but a good percent of them do.

COMPLETLY A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!! i loved this phone when i got it but its an awful phone. This is my 3rd lg rumor in a year. I text a lot so I thought the rumor would be the phone for me. However, half of the keys on my phone are broken. If I drop it, it randomly shuts off. If my phone dies and I don't have a charger I can never turn my phone on again because the back button is also broken. I find this phone highly annoying and it isn't advanced at all. I like the style of the phone and the menu layout but there are no favorites. The camera on the phone is absolutely terrible; the pictures in the morning and at night are very bad. My phones screen has random dark patches. In conclusion this phone has a cool design but not durable AT ALL. I would not recommend this phone to anyone.

" Author: Noel Langley / Format: Paperback / Date of publication: 04 August 2005 / Genre: Children's General Fiction / Publisher: Faber & Faber / Title: The Land of Green Ginger / ISBN 13: 9780571226184 / ISBN 10: 0571226184 "
* Prices may differ from that shown
For those who have written in praise of Noel Langley's "The Land of Green Ginger", I would wholeheartedly concur. I might respectfully point out, however, that it's not correct to say the first publication of this remarkable children's (and grown-ups') fable was in the 1960s, unless youre referring strictly to the paperback. I have a treasured hardback first edition of the book, properly entitled The Tale of the Land Of Green Ginger, first published in 1937 by Arthur Baker Ltd (London), written and illustrated by Noel Langley. It's a lovely edition, with full-colour drawings nothing like those by Edward Ardizzone in the later paperbacks. That said, the first edition compares like a prototype to the later editions - which, presumably, were updated by Noel Langley himself. (Have you read elsewhere that he was one of the team that created The Wizard of Oz?) The 1966 Puffin version was by far the best, many of its choicest passages being cruelly cut from later versions including a delightful song, campily sung by the dragon, to the tune of Teddy Bears Picnic. In many ways it reads like a movie script - hardly surprising, given its pedigree - and one can almost hear the characters speak from the page. Ardizzone's realistic line drawings, too, have a light and whimsical style which far surpasses the rather heavy execution of the caricatured Langley originals, and suits the story to a 'T'. In the absence of the 1960s paperback, I would heartily recommend readers to get their hands on any copy/edition they can. If you read it aloud to the kids, be prepared to abandon all decorum and roar and bellow through all the best bits. Guaranteed to have all but the most cynical and jaded millennium children rolling on the floor. But don't just read it for your children; read it for yourself!
You know the story of Aladdin, right? The classic fairy-tale, popularised in pantomimes and also by Disney. He has a wicked uncle, and a magic lamp which summons a genie... a complex story, with many variations, but in the end he marries the princess he loves despite being a commoner himself, and they all live happily ever after. In China.
But did you ever wonder what happened 'after'? If so, then 'The Land of Green Ginger' is the book to read. It starts on the day after Aladdin's son and heir is born. The opening scene describes the Special Meeting of State which has been called in order that a name can be selected for the baby. It's clear right from the start that this isn't a book to be taken seriously; for one thing there are rather a lot of Extra Capital Letters scattered throughout the book, for another we quickly learn that the Grand Vizier forgot about the meeting he had summoned and arrived late after slipping on a mat.
The important ministers are busy sucking their pencils and trying hard to think of appropriate names, peering over each other's shoulders and bickering gently, when Aladdin is summoned by his mother, Widow Twankey. She complains that her new grandson has just called her a Button-Nosed Tortoise. Aladdin doesn't believe her, but to humour her goes to see the baby, and discovers to his amazement that his son can talk fluently, and moreover he did say that his grandmother looked like a button-nosed tortoise.
Very worried about having a day-old child who can talk, Aladdin summons Abdul, the genie of the lamp, for the first time in many years. Abdul tells him that his son (who is to be called Abu Ali) is destined to break a spell when he comes of age. The spell has turned an eminent magician into a button-nosed tortoise, and he can be found in the Land of Green Ginger, a sort of portable back garden which flies around the world landing in different places.
That's chapter one. Or rather, Chapter the First: Which Explains How, Why, When, and Where There Was Ever Any Problem in the First Place. There are thirteen chapters in all, each of them with subtitles in the style of Victorian novels. Actually, the final chapter is not called the Thirteenth, but the Twelve and a Halfth.
Chapter the Second jumps forwards to Abu Ali's coming of age, where after further consultation with the genie Abdul, he sets out on his quest to rescue the magician. He also hopes to win the hand of the beautiful Princess Silver Bud of Samarkand. Lots of humorous adventures follow, as Abu Ali comes up against the delightfully wicked princes Tintac Ping Foo and Rubdub Ben Thud.
It's a children's book of course. According to my notation in the front of the book, I bought this when I was thirteen, and probably read it shortly afterwards. I read it again as a young adult, when I went through all my books and decided which were worth keeping, although it was then boxed away until my sons were about six and eight, when I read it aloud to them. A confident reader of about eight or nine would probably be able to tackle this alone, although it's certainly not in easy-read vocabulary, but I really think it's best as a read-aloud book since there's so much humour and word-play. There are some delightful line drawings every two or three pages by Edward Ardizzone which complement the story beautifully, and which provided much focus for discussion when I read the book aloud.
A few days ago I wanted something light and non-gripping to read while I was making jam, and picked this book out of our shelves. I read it in about a couple of hours, all told - it's a little under 200 pages - and found slightly to my surprise that I enjoyed it as much as ever. There's a delightful irony running through much of the book which was probably lost on me when I was younger; I particuarly like the section describing Abu Ali as a young man. His 'Faults' include being good-natured, honest, considerate and sympathetic... indeed, quite hopeless! Obviously not usual Emperor material. I suppose he could have turned out to be rather a boring hero with all these qualities, but somehow he's very likeable, even before he meets the two contrastingly ultra-wicked princes who are to be his rivals in the hand of the princess.
There are some tense moments towards the end of the book when Abu Ali is imprisoned, and threatened with a horrible death - but it's a fairy-tale, a light-hearted story for children, so of course it's not going to end with the hero meeting an untimely end. Even my normally sensitive son wasn't scared by the visions of pots of boiling oil when I read the book aloud; I think I probably find it slightly more disturbing as an adult, knowing about the horrors that people can and do inflict in each other in real life.
Ideal for boys or girls, children or teenagers - anyone who likes fairy tales and happy endings, and a good dose of humour. While of course it's suitable for children and there's no hint of what we'd call bad language, I suppose some might object to the way the wicked princes keep fighting and calling each other names. One is tall and thin, the other short and extremely fat. Unfortunately we seem to have become over-sensitive to body shapes and sizes in recent years, so if you don't like the idea of your children calling a tall thin person 'bean-pole' or 'clothes-horse', or a short fat person 'pudding' or 'tub', then I suppose you might want to keep them away from this book.
'The Land of Green Ginger' was first published in 1966; my edition is a Puffin paperback published in 1970. Unfortunately, this version does not seem to be in print any more, although it's often found in libraries and can sometimes be found in second-hand bookshops. Amazon sell a somewhat abridged version of the book, published by Faber Classics, for £4.79 after their usual discount; I gather it's fairly well abridged, and retains much of the humour of the original, but that it's rather disappointing to people who remember the full version. Perhaps it was abridged to make it easier to read, or even more politically correct - but if you can get hold of the 1966 version, then that's the one I would recommend.
"May fortune preserve you, gentle reader. May your days be filled with constant joy, and may my story please you, for it has no other purpose." There, now we're friends, I do hope you're smiling already. You must imagine you're in the theatre and we're telling our story just for you. We're in pantomime land and so we must begin at the beginning –we're at Chapter The First which will explain, "How, Why, When and Where There Was Ever Any Problem in the First Place". Well, it all begins in the city of Peking in ancient China and with the birth of a son and heir to the Emperor Aladdin, yes, the Aladdin, son of the awful Widow Twankey. She's still about you know, and just as awful as she ever was, just as crotchety and snappy and mean. Even Aladdin sighs when she appears. As you can imagine the city of Peking is full of the joyous news. A huge firework display is planned but before it begins a name must be chosen for the new Prince. At a Special Meeting of State each guest is given a pencil and a piece of paper on which he must write five names, the Emperor will choose from all submitted. Even the Unidentified Friend of The Master of the Horse must think of five names. As the guest scratch their heads with comic perplexity at their lack of inspiration, and it is feared that the Firework Display will be delayed, Widow Twankey appears. She's in a rage. Everyone sighs because, after all, she's always in a rage. It appears that the newborn Prince has taken one look at Widow Twankey and called her a button-nosed tortoise. This has thrown her into the usual rage and everyone else into confusion. Fireworks forgotten, the Emperor Aladdin hastens to The Yellow Lacquer Nursery to check on this infant prodigy, a newborn baby who can talk. "Hootchie-cootchie my itsy-witsy," he says. "And hootchie-cootchie to you too," his son replies politely. A baby who can talk? And who calls t
he Queen Mother a button-nosed tortoise? What to do? There's only one thing for it. The magic lamp is rubbed and the Djinn Abdul summoned. On hearing the story he's not at all perturbed. It's all been foretold. The button-nosed tortoise is, in fact, a magician who created for himself The Land of Green Ginger, a kind of magic, portable garden of Eden growing every herb and spice you'd ever imagine – the magician is rather an epicure you see. Unfortunately, his spell went wrong at the last moment, as they so often do, leaving him a button-nosed tortoise and the Land of Green Ginger floating around the world at will, waiting for the foretold prince, the only one who can break the spell and restore the magician to his normal shape. That prince is, of course, Aladdin's son, and his name is also foretold, it is Abu Ali. And with that, Abdul vanishes, leaving the troublesome Widow Twankey frozen as still and quiet as you could wish her to be. They leave her to ornament the White Lacquer Room of State. When he comes of age Abu Ali sets out to fulfill the prophecy, to find The Land of Green Ginger, to resuce the magician and to win the hand of the beautiful Silver Bud, daughter of Sulkpot Ben Nagnag, the richest jewellery merchant in all Araby. Like a good hero should, he does so with the dire warnings of Abdul the Djinn ringing in his ears: "You'll run afoul of the wicked Prince Tintac Ping Foo of Persia, and the wicked Prince Rubdub Ben Thud of Arabia. Don't trust either of them further than you could push a pack of peppercorns up a perpendicular precipice! And, if you DO get into serious trouble – and one invariably does – I'll allow you ONE rub of the lamp. Only one mind! And before you rub it, be sure your need is urgent!" Of course both villainous princes are dreadfully evil. They steal, they lie, they cheat, but they are both very stupid indeed, one is fat and dense, the other foppi
sh, theatrically camp and spiteful, and they are both terrible cowards. The merchant Sulkpot is a horrid, greedy man who threatens to boil in oil anyone who thwarts him, particularly impoverished suitors for his beautiful, gentle daughter. Aladdin must outwit the princes, the merchant, his guards, a dragon, he must avoid capture and find three feathers from the tail of the Magic Phoenix bird to win the hand of Silver Bud. And all the time he knows that for any of this to happen he must find The Land of Green Ginger and release the magician from his gone-wrong spell. I expect you know already what happens, but I'll pretend not to spoil it by not telling any more. Oh, but we thoroughly enjoyed the Land of Green Ginger. I'd forgotten all about it until it arrived (uncorrected proof copy you know) through the post. A long time ago I laughed at it with my parents and a short time ago I laughed at it again, with my children. Lovely. From the first few words of welcome which really did make Conor and Kieran believe that it was written just for them, to the last, happy-ending page we had fun reading it. We sneered and poked fun at the Wicked Princes Tintac Ping Foo and Rubdub Ben Thud and we drew theatrically large intakes of breath at every trial and tribulation of our hero, Abu Ali. We shivered at the thought of boiling in oil and we shuddered in fear of the wrath of the genie Abdul. We booed the greedy, nasty Sulkpot Ben Nagnag and we cheered Omar Khayyam the faithful friend. And all the time we laughed. The Land of Green Ginger I think fills you with the magic and fanciful adventure of pantomime and theatre, Conor and Kieran and I almost found ourselves shouting "BEHIND YOU! BEHIND YOU!" as we read. It's a glorious, silly, funny, old-fashioned nonsense of entertainment. You won't learn anything from it, it won't teach you any worthy lessons and it won't make you ponder the meaning of life, but it will make you laugh,
I promise. And sometimes that really is the most important thing, isn't it? We found the anachronistic language, the capitalisation of just about everything, the endless stressing of just how CROSS, or HAPPY, or SAD the characters were feeling all hilariously funny, but most of all we laughed at the sheer slapstick of the action. Somehow, in Noel Langley's very artifical, very theatrical way of writing that most visual of humours translates perfectly to the verbal. The best of pantomime takes human virtues and failings and renders them through cartoon-like lampooning into something to cheer for, to hiss and boo at and something to make us laugh for all we're worth. The Land of Green Ginger does this, because underneath all the silliness the observation is so accurate. Nasty people, greedy people, selfish people are all perfectly exaggerated into overblown stereotypes and set up for their comeuppance in a way that is equally exaggerated and equally funny but not equally nasty. Some people think that these jokes in pantomime are for the adults but I don't think so. I think that the children understand the humour in satire as easily as the grown-ups and that is why they find the slapstick such fun. Children aren't fools, and a chance to laugh at adult failings is something they will always jump at. Politically correct it ain't, and at first sight The Land of Green Ginger may appear old-fashioned and quaint, but really it's timeless, just as the best jokes are, especially the bad ones. And if you don't like a bad joke, then I'm afraid there's no hope for you. Faber are reissuing The Land of Green Ginger complete with original Ardizzone illustrations next month and also a full, uncut version of his screenplay of The Wizard of Oz. I managed to get hold of an uncorrected proof copy (I've sources you know), but you can pre-order from Amazon. Go on. It's fun. But before you do… IT'S BEHIND YOU!
PS - Title is Kieran's, answers on a postcard please!
This well-known and well-loved fantasy adventure was written by Noel Langley, the screenwriter for The Wizard of Oz, and contains original Edward Ardizzone illustrations throughout. The Land of Green Ginger is the story of Prince Abu Ali, the son of the Emperor Aladdin of China. When Abu Ali is born, the Genie of the Lamp announces that his destiny has already been foretold; he was the one chosen to break the spell of the Land of Green Ginger and restore the Magician - turned into a Button-Nosed Tortoise by a spell that went wrong - to his normal shape. You'll find magical fantasy, adventure and excitement within the pages of this book - but most of all, you'll find ridiculous wit and humour to appeal to all age groups (whether child or adult).
