The legends and faces expand every year as the accolades continue to pour in, and new game-changers emerge throughout the SEC's 14 programs.
The Southeastern Conference has been widely regarded as the best football conference in the country over the past several decades, but at no time more than the present as No. 2 Auburn prepares to battle top-ranked Florida State with a chance to bring the league its eighth straight national championship (a possible 10th in 16 years of the soon-to-be-extinct BCS). The star-power of the league has never been more evident, but the SEC has been a major player since its 1932 inception, when 10 current members joined former members Georgia Tech, Tulane and Sewanee to create a force that has only seen two rounds of expansion since: the 1992 addition of Arkansas and South Carolina and 2012's welcoming of Missouri and Texas A&M. But the legends and faces expand every year as the accolades continue to pour in, and new game-changers emerge throughout the league's 14 programs.
There were reasons the recruitment of Tim Tebow off of Florida's "First Coast" evolved into one of the largest priorities in University of Florida football history. The big left-handed quarterback with the powerful stride was all that was advertised from his opening training camp until his departure as one of the most decorated players in SEC, check that, NCAA history. Tebow went through a mighty progression that unfolded as follows: Helped UF win a national title as a freshman, won the Heisman Trophy as a sophomore, guided the Gators to another national championship as a junior, then put the finishing touches on a laundry list of school and SEC records as a senior as he led UF to its second straight 13-1 season, capped by a 482-yard, three-TD passing day against Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl. Whew!
Tebow will be remembered most fondly for his competitive spirit and the inspired leadership that came from an impassioned speech in the aftermath of an upset loss against Ole Miss in 2008. The Gators did not lose again en route to the national title that season. But the numbers also bear him out as one of the finest to ever play the college game.
After Florida: Tebow was selected by the Denver Broncos in the first round of the 2010 draft and made his NFL name during the latter two-thirds of his second season, when he guided what had once been a 1-4 Broncos team to the AFC West title and a first-round playoff victory against Pittsburgh. Tebow threw for 316 yards and two TDs against the Steelers, but was sent to the New York Jets after a season that ended with a playoff loss at New England. Unable to find a common thread in New York, Tebow spent a brief stint in camp with the New England Patriots before being released.
Talent has never been an issue with the University of Georgia football program, but talent had never burst into Athens with such fury as with the arrival of Herschel Walker, an NFL-ready running back who was less than a year removed from abusing the opponents of Johnson County High School in Wrightsville, Ga.
The Bulldogs, a 6-5 team in 1979, shocked college football by unveiling the 6-foot-1, 220-pound who looked half-Hulk and half-sprinter in their 1980 season opener against Tennessee, then ran the table to the Sugar Bowl, a victory over Notre Dame and a national championship that stands as Georgia's only national title since 1942. With Walker dotting the Bulldogs' powerful I formation, Georgia went 33-3 over his three seasons and played for another national title in the Sugar Bowl to conclude the 1982 season, but fell short against Penn State. Walker left the program following his junior season having finished in the top three in Heisman Trophy voting in all three of his seasons, winning it in 1982.
After Georgia: With an NFL eligibility rule still in place that did not allow third-year players into the league, the new USFL swooped in on Walker, making him a rich man overnight and leaving Georgia fans scrambling in the shadows of a New Jersey Generals helicopter that picked Walker up in Athens. Walker was one of the faces of the USFL during its three years, then was one of the NFL's more productive players for another dozen seasons, finishing with more than 20,000 yards from scrimmage during his combined professional career.
As an aging back in 1994, Walker, as a Philadelphia Eagle, became the first NFL player with touchdown plays of 90-or-more yards as a runner, receiver and kick returner. Walker has dabbled in Olympic bobsledding, ballet and mixed martial arts on top of being an accomplished sprinter.
The stars aligned with the Bluegrass State following World War II, when a prep sensation from Youngwood, Pa., headed for Lexington, Ky., and a rude debut, then was followed to Kentucky a year later by recently discharged Naval Lieutenant Commander Paul "Bear" Bryant, who guided Blanda and his successor at QB, Babe Parilli, into dizzying success that the Wildcats had never known before or since Bryant's eight-year stay. Blanda was responsible for much of the dirty work as Bryant pushed to turn the program around from a 2-8 season under Bernie Shively in 1945 to a 7-3 campaign in Bryant's first year on the job and a 20-9-2 finish to Blanda's collegiate career. Parilli, whose teams with Bryant in 1949, '50 and '51 produced bowl invitations to the Orange, Sugar and Cotton bowls, respectively, and victories in the latter two, had the more glamorous Kentucky career, but Blanda helped set the tempo — leading the Wildcats to their first bowl game and bowl win in 1947 (24-14 over Villanova in the old Great Lakes Bowl) — and made it cool for a young man to wear cleats instead of basketball sneakers in Lexington.
After Kentucky: Blanda's odyssey through the NFL and AFL was the stuff of legends, from the young quarterback/kicker who possessed flash and dazzle within a 6-foot-2, 215-pound frame to the old man who didn't leave the NFL until 1975 at age 48 with the nickname "The Fossil." Blanda, who played for the Chicago Bears, Houston Oilers and Oakland Raiders, scored in 26 consecutive NFL seasons and set records as varied as seven touchdown passes in a single AFL game (1971), to most PATs kicked in a pro career (943), to oldest quarterback to start a title game. Blanda, who died in 2010 at age 83, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1981.
Like Texas A&M, Missouri went looking for greener pastures and found them with a jump from the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference prior to the 2012 season. Growing pains were acute and frequent as the SEC's third set of Tigers went 5-7, the only interruption in a winning-seasons-only streak that began in 2005 and was jumpstarted this year in a big way with an impressive 11-2 bounce-back season that produced the SEC East championship. The missing piece to the Missouri puzzle was Henry Josey, a 1,000-yard back as a sophomore in 2011, who suffered a severe knee injury that required more than a year of rehab, costing him the entire 2012 season. Josey emerged this season with another 1,000-yard season with a 6.6-yard average and 13 rushing touchdowns, including a late, tie-breaking 57-yarder in a win over Texas A&M that clinched the division title last month. He'll have a chance to add to his statistics when the Tigers face old Big 12 rival Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl next month.
After Missouri: Missouri has enjoyed its share of NFL stars during its time in the Big Eight and Big 12 conferences, like the prolific running backs Tony Galbreath and James Wilder, who picked up more than 8,000 yards from scrimmage each and combined for 90 touchdowns in the NFL, and Hall of Famers Kellen Winslow Sr. and Roger Wehrli. Certainly Josey appears headed for NFL fame should he remain healthy next season and beyond. How many backs have ever surpassed 1,000 yards in a season in two different conferences?
With only a two-decade history within the SEC, the former ACC member and Major Independent Gamecocks can't produce a bigger game-changer than disruptive 6-foot-6, 275-pound defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. The school cheered a Heisman Trophy winner in George Rogers in 1980, but has enjoyed little national exposure otherwise.
South Carolina's history of championships includes a 1969 ACC crown and a 2010 SEC East title, which didn't seem to matter much at all when you consider a week later the Gamecocks were fed to the Cam Newton-led Auburn Tigers in a lopsided SEC Championship game.
Clowney signed with Steve Spurrier's program a few weeks later and helped lead South Carolina to its first two 11-win seasons in his first two years on campus (the Gamecocks can have a third straight 11-win season with a Capital One Bowl victory vs. Wisconsin). The program enjoyed only one 10-win season in its history before securing Clowney's signature.
After South Carolina: The sky will be the limit for the ESPN darling and probable top-three pick in next year's NFL Draft.
Offseason talk of a Heisman Trophy candidacy was thorough and tiring until Clowney suffered through a slow start to the 2013 season and had his leadership qualities questioned during an October injury. Highlights have been few and far between, but Clowney stands as the top prospect to come out of Columbia, S.C., since John Abraham was snatched up by the New York Jets in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft and developed into one of this century's most accomplished pass rushers.
Coming along in a decade when the SEC was setting its roots as a league to be reckoned with and while Tennessee, LSU, Auburn and Ole Miss were rising as national powers, few players anywhere could compare to the strength and ability of Doug Atkins, a fearsome 6-foot-8, 275-pound defensive lineman that Tennessee coach Robert Neyland lured off the basketball court and into gridiron fame in Knoxville, Tenn. Atkins, who intimidated on sight during an era of 195-pound linemen, was one of the first purely defensive stars in an era of two-way football and helped Tennessee to a record of 29-3-1 in his three seasons, including the 1951 national championship that was the school's first.
After Tennessee: Atkins was selected in the first round of the 1953 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns and later became a Chicago Bears mainstay, spending 12 years in the Windy City as one of the founding fathers of the "Monsters of the Midway." Atkins was an eight-time Pro Bowl pick, a four-time All-Pro with the Bears (10 times All-Pro as first- or second-teamer) and was the first player to be inducted into both the College and Pro Football halls of fame. He was named the SEC player of the quarter-century for 1950-1974 by the Birmingham Quarterback Club and was the only unanimous member of the All-SEC quarter-century team. Despite only playing three seasons in New Orleans at the end of his career, Atkins' No. 81 was retired by the Saints.
If there was ever anyone born and raised to become a Vanderbilt legend, it was Bill Wade. A 6-foot-2, 202-pound quarterback during an era of winning consistency by the Commodores, Wade was born at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, raised in Nashville, and is the son of a 1921 Vanderbilt football captain. He became the face of Commodore football during the middle part of the 20th century and went on to become the first pick of the NFL Draft in 1952. Wade's teams at Vanderbilt went a combined 18-14, including a 3-0 mark against Alabama. Oddly, the final pass of Wade's collegiate career was to his brother, Don Wade. Because Don Wade was a pulling guard on the play and instinctively hauled in an errant screen pass, a penalty that stopped Vandy on a late drive in its season-ending 35-27 loss to eventual national champion Tennessee in 1951.
After Vanderbilt: Wade starred for both the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears during a 13-year NFL career and was named to the Pro Bowl as a member of each team along the way. Following a successful run as a Hollywood celebrity in tandem with being the star quarterback of the L.A. Rams during the early days of TV, Wade led the Bears to the 1963 NFL championship and finished his career with 124 touchdown passes and 18,530 passing yards.
The University of Alabama has produced seven Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees and countless numbers of NFL players and All-Americans, but perhaps the biggest game-changer in the history of the football program was Wilbur Jackson, a star running back out of Carroll High School in Ozark, Ala., and the first African-American to sign with the Crimson Tide. One year after Alabama opened the season with an embarrassing 42-21 home loss to Southern Cal and legendary running back Sam "Bam" Cunningham, the subsequent signing of Jackson and defensive lineman John Mitchell gave the SEC its midpoint to a five-year period of fully integrated football programs. With the 6-foot-1, 215-pound Jackson plugged into the new Wishbone offense, Alabama opened the next season with a win at USC and rebounded from a barely above .500 period between Paul "Bear" Bryant dynasties to go 11-1, 10-2 and 11-1 with a share of the 1973 national championship, the first of three 1970s national championships won by the Tide. Jackson finished his collegiate career as part of a crowded Alabama backfield with 1,529 rushing yards and 17 TDs.
After Alabama: Jackson was selected ninth overall in the 1974 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers and spent five productive seasons there before moving on to a three-year stay with the Washington Redskins, which included a Super Bowl XVII victory against the Miami Dolphins.
UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS: DARREN McFADDEN (2005-07)
While Arkansas has never been short on productive offensive players during its 21-year run in the SEC, there is something about Darren McFadden that puts him front and center in our minds when we think about the Razorbacks. Perhaps it was his SEC record-tying 321-yard rushing performance against South Carolina, or his 206-yard, three-touchdown effort in a 2007 win over eventual national champion LSU, or his 1,500-plus-yard average while at Arkansas, or his two Heisman Trophy runner-up finishes. Whatever "it" was, the electrifying McFadden had it, somehow dwarfing the accomplishments of fellow Arkansas backs Felix Jones and Peyton Hillis, who have both had substantial NFL careers themselves.
With McFadden on board in 2006, Arkansas represented the SEC West for only the second time in the SEC Championship game, losing to Florida, same as in 1995.
After Arkansas: McFadden ran a 4.27 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine and was selected by the Oakland Raiders with the fourth overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. He has been slowed by a variety of injuries, but maintains a robust 4.3-yard average per carry in his limited duty, having compiled 4,783 yards from scrimmage and 23 touchdowns in 57 career games.
No program in the nation signed as many quality running backs during a period of a decade that began in the mid-1970s, when Auburn was trotting out a "Who's Who" of eventual NFL standouts like William Andrews, James Brooks, Joe Cribbs, Tommy Agee, Lionel James and Brent Fullwood. Difficult as it may seem, Bo Jackson established himself as a cut above the rest from his first days on campus until his Heisman Trophy-winning departure. Helping the Tigers climb out of the muck of mediocrity to an SEC championship and a short list of national contenders in the span of two years, Jackson endeared himself for a lifetime to eager Auburn fans who had been without league supremacy between 1957 and 1983. The two-sport star from Bessemer, Ala., and McAdory High School led Auburn to a 13-win improvement over the Tigers' previous four-year record and helped set the table for an Auburn run that resulted in three straight SEC titles from 1987-89 and an undefeated 1993 campaign.
After Auburn: Jackson was drafted No. 1 overall by Tampa Bay in 1986, but spurned the Buccaneers in favor of a baseball offer from the Kansas City Royals. He took the sports pages by storm after eventually sharing his baseball days with the Los Angeles Raiders, who picked up Jackson in the 1987 NFL Draft on a seventh-round flier. Jackson would become an all-star in both sports and was among the most popular athletes of his time until a hip injury in a Raiders' 1991 playoff game against Cincinnati ended his NFL career and robbed him of the blazing speed (10 seconds flat in the 100 meters) that helped define the 6-foot-1, 230-pounder's baseball career.
LSU's only Heisman Trophy winner, Billy Cannon, a Baton Rouge high schooler, was a star for Paul Dietzel's powerhouse teams of the late 1950s. The do-everything Cannon, who had his jersey No. 20 retired by LSU, led the Bayou Bengals to their first national championship in 1958. He then followed that by winning a Heisman Trophy in 1959, when a 14-13 loss to Tennessee was the only regular-season blemish on LSU's way to a second straight Sugar Bowl appearance. On Halloween night of that season, he wrapped up the Heisman with an 89-yard punt return in Tiger Stadium that provided the only touchdown in a 7-3 victory over a powerful Ole Miss team that earned redemption with a 21-0 victory over the Tigers in a Sugar Bowl rematch.
After LSU: Cannon was drafted No. 1 overall in both the NFL and AFL drafts, then decided on the fledgling American Football League, where he starred for the Houston Oilers and Oakland Raiders for a decade before winding up his pro career with the Kansas City Chiefs, a former AFL franchise that had been part of a recent merger with the NFL. Cannon became an orthodontist, but a series of real estate ventures and gambling debts later landed him in prison after a counterfeiting arrest. Working diligently to clear his name, Cannon was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2008, 25 years after he had originally been selected, but denied entry due to his legal entanglements. The 1988 Dennis Quaid/Jessica Lange/John Goodman film "Everybody's All-American" is loosely based on Cannon's life story.
Another Manning, Eli's father Archie, could make a case for this spot. But it became quite clear, quite quickly that young Eli has Archie covered on all fronts, more than doubling Archie's Ole Miss passing yardage (10,119 to 4,753), going higher in the NFL Draft (No. 1 overall vs. No. 2 overall) and winning the Super Bowl that eluded Archie ... twice! Following years of slightly above average seasons, and sometimes dreadful ones, the signing of Eli Manning out of the Isidore Newman School in New Orleans was cause for both celebration and reminiscing for the Rebel faithful who remembered Archie's late-'60s wizardry under legendary Ole Miss coach John Vaught. And Eli produced. He notched a 31-touchdown, nine-interception season as a sophomore, then surpassed 3,400 passing yards as a junior and senior, helping the Rebels win the Cotton Bowl to cap a 10-win season and collecting the Unitas and Maxwell awards on his way out of Oxford, Miss.
After Ole Miss: Manning was drafted No. 1 overall by the New York Giants in April of 2004 and has developed into one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL over the past decade, earning three Pro Bowl invitations and Super Bowl MVP honors in the Giants' thrilling victories over the New England Patriots following the 2007 and 2011 seasons. Still in his playing prime, Manning has already surpassed 31,000 passing yards during his NFL career and appears headed for a career that could lead him into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, where he will likely be greeted by older brother Peyton Manning.
Coming off two straight winless seasons (0-22 combined), Bob Tyler's staff in Starkville, Miss., was given an uncharacteristic extra opportunity to get things right in 1978, and the best step the Bulldogs could've made was securing the signature of Johnie Cooks, an all-everything linebacker from Leland, Miss. Cooks helped make an instant impact for MSU, leading a maroon defense to unprecedented heights as the Bulldogs qualified for their only two bowl games in a 17-season span — the 1980 Sun Bowl (loss to Nebraska) and 1981 Hall of Fame Bowl (win over Kansas) — and made a life-long memory in 1980 with his efforts in a 6-3 victory over Paul "Bear" Bryant's two-time and defending national champion Alabama team, a win that snapped the Crimson Tide's 28-game winning streak and put Mississippi State football on the map for the first time in 40 years. Cooks, a 6-foot-4, 243-pound blitzing linebacker, was a matchup terror during his entire time in Starkville, and helped MSU to a 15-win improvement during his stay vs. the previous four years without him.
After Mississippi State: Cooks was selected No. 2 overall in the 1982 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Colts and moved with the Colts to Indianapolis, where he began a productive decade in the NFL. As a second-year pro, Cooks sacked Jim Plunkett of the eventual Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Raiders four times in one game, four of his 11� sacks that season. Later in his career, Cooks was signed by the New York Giants, with whom he won a Super Bowl championship to finish the 1990 season.
During a turbulent time that involved a new coach and the natural trepidation that rolls over a program in the midst of joining a new conference, the Texas A&M Aggies needed a hero. Coach Kevin Sumlin emerged as one, but not without the other, which came in the form of 19-year-old redshirt freshman Johnny Manziel. "Johnny Football" transformed from scout-team freak to Heisman Trophy legend in the span of one year and left the nation wanting more after accounting for more than 5,100 total yards and 27 touchdowns. Manziel led the Aggies past eventual national champion Alabama in Tuscaloosa along the way and finished with 516 total yards in a 41-13 thrashing of former Big 12 rival Oklahoma in a Cotton Bowl statement. Manziel won't come close to reaching the 1,410 rushing yards or 21 rushing TDs he posted as a freshman (he has 686 and eight, respectively), but the repeat Heisman finalist has improved in every passing statistic as a sophomore with one game remaining, the Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta on Dec. 31 vs. Duke.
After Texas A&M: We can only imagine what the now-21, agent-ready Manziel will be doing following a New Year's Eve game in Atlanta, one which will likely spell the end of his collegiate career. But a spot in next spring's NFL Draft appears assured.

What CAs need to know this week: 5 January 2016
A look ahead to some of the key things happening this week.
Prime Minister to give statement on the EU summit
Prime Minister David Cameron will deliver his statement on the EU summit when parliament opens for 2016 today (5 January). The statement outlines the PM's renegotiation of the UK's membership of the EU and could mark the official start of the referendum campaign.
China's economy in spotlight
All eyes will be on the health of China's economy this week, with three important financial indicators set for publication. China's foreign trade figures will be released on Friday (8 January), with experts predicting a steady recovery in US exports, but a flattening for Japan and Europe shipments. Imports are expected to continue falling. The country's Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) are also due to be announced this week (9 January).
Profitability of UK companies announced
The latest profitability figures of UK companies will be revealed by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Thursday (7 January). The third quarter figures come as new research by Grant Thornton shows that UK and Irish companies are the most optimistic going into 2016 than any other European Union nations. The survey found that nearly three quarters of UK-based businesses are hopeful for the coming year.
US jobs and manufacturing sector under scrutiny
This week will see the US announce its monthly manufacturing sector figures, which will reveal what impact the strong dollar and slowing global growth have had on overseas demand. On Friday (8 January), the US will release its jobs report, including the unemployment rate and non-farm payroll data for December. The US added an average of 237,000 new jobs a month in 2015 – a figure that was an important factor in the Federal Reserve's recent decision to raise interest rates for the first time in a decade.
Post-festive trading updates from top UK retailers
The financial performance of some of the UK's biggest high street retailers over the festive period will be in the news this week, with trading updates due from Next (5 January), John Lewis (6 January) and M&S Group (7 January). Poundland Group, Topps Tiles and Persimmon will also report on recent performance.

There was a major security breach during the burial of Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery on Saturday when a man jumped onto the podium claiming he had been sent by the holy spirit to pray for the deceased to rise from the dead.
The man pounced when Chief of Defence Forces, Gen Samson Mwathethe, had just started addressing the mourners, forcing him to momentarily cut short his speech.
Security officers quickly apprehended the man and frogmarched him from the main tent before interrogating him.
He claimed to have been sent by God to come and pray for the late Nkaissery to be raised from the dead.
"The spirit of the Lord sent me here, to come and fight the forces of death," said the man who gave his name as Anthony Njuguna.
"If you allow me to go back there and pray for Gen Nkaissery; if he does not resurrect, feel free to kill me."
The VIP security wondered how the man, dressed in a black suit, white shirt and black tie, breached the tight security at the funeral and got to where the casket was placed.
"I told God that I would be coming to this place and asked Him to send his angels so that they could protect me until I reached where the casket was," he told the security officers.
The guards were clearly at a loss as to how the man gained access to the podium, when some VIPs were being denied access to the tent.
One of those who did not find space into the tent was Jubilee Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju, who sat patiently in the sun until someone found him space inside the tent.
Some journalists were also denied entry into the tent, and could only follow proceedings from outside.
Before Mr Njuguna disrupted proceedings, there was another brief moment of drama when President Kenyatta briefly stepped out of the tent reserved for the VIPs.
Just as he was getting out, a young man from the other side of the barrier desperately tried to attract the President's attention; waving a piece of paper at him.
He was swiftly whisked away by security officials.
The young man later told Nation that he wanted the Head of State to give him a job as a driver.
"When the President came to Kajiado on July 5, I tried to reach out to him," said the 35-year-old man who gave his name as George Kinyaga. "His security detail took my number but I have not yet received a call from the President. That is why I came here today to jog his memory."
Apart from those two incidents, the ceremony went on rather smoothly; the late CS's home in Ilbisil was teeming with thousands of mourners who braced the scorching sun to give the late General a fitting send off.
The space between the Namanga Road and Mr Nkaissery's homestead, about 200 meters away, was turned into one huge car park.
Traffic was directed by military police.
Further afield, we counted 12 helicopters that had ferried VIP mourners, including the one that brought President Kenyatta.
At the car park, some business savvy photographers were doing brisk business taking photos using improvised studios.
Clients were being charged Sh50 to pose for a photo with the background of President Kenyatta on one side and his Deputy William Ruto on the other.
Other "studios" featured the late Nkaissery, with his head photoshopped on the body of a man sitting on a stool.

Gender, climate change and community based adaptation planning
Gender, climate change and community based adaptation planning
This guidebook for designing and implementing gender-sensitive community-based adaptation (CBA) projects draws on the experiences of the United Nations Development Programme - Global Environment Facility (UNDP-GEF) CBA programme from ten participating countries around the world. The paper begins by introduces gender, its place in development and the importance of promoting equality. It then discusses the nature of CBA projects as an emergent technique seeking to avoid the occasional unintended consequences of top-down projects. They aim to support community led, pro-active climate change adaptation measures, commonly through the provision of small grants. Combining local and scientific knowledge, the tailored approaches allow for experimentation and the identification of best practices. The inclusion of women in these projects guarantees that their knowledge and skills are not excluded. The guidebook also elaborates on vulnerability to climate change and disaster, and gender dimensions of climate change.
Some preliminary lessons from the UNDP-GEF programme include:
- Considering gender from the very beginning of a project is necessary to avoid unexpected implications of adaptation interventions.
- Preparatory analysis of community dynamics is necessary to address gender issues effectively.
- Facilitation is important for equitable community participation.
- New technologies and techniques can help overcome traditional gender barriers.
- Gender considerations must be placed within the context of the various power dynamics within communities; there may be other marginalised groups that also need to be represented.
- Gender-balanced participation is crucial, with equal access to resources, education and decision-making throughout planning and implementation.
- It is necessary to identify lack of gender awareness in partner organisations and support capacity building in gender mainstreaming.
- The value of accommodating traditional women's roles and responsibilities within projects must be recognised.
- Gender training must be accessible in order to be effective.
The paper concludes that gendered analysis of vulnerability and adaptation needs to be conducted at the local level in project preparation. This will help mitigate existing inequalities and harness women's ability to act as agents of change. Effective participation, the development of skills to gain access and control over resources, and an equitable redistribution of work comprise the essentials of gender equality.

Family has always been an important part of my life, but with my rabbinic profession demanding that I remain at Beth El on weekends – a time when many family life cycle events take place – it is somewhat rare that I attend family simchas. That is not a terrible reality; it is simply a condition of my dedication to my profession and my chosen community in Madison.
But this wedding was a wonderful exception, and my family really appreciated my presence. My cousin who tied the knot served as a news producer for PBS: at first, for the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour, then for the Jim Lehrer News Hour, and then for the PBS News Hour, today moderated by Gwen Ifill. And because of the years of their association, Gwen Ifill was wonderfully present at my cousin's wedding weekend.
One high point of the weekend was the rehearsal dinner, with roasts, toasts, and fun. Most prominent was a video parody of the PBS News Hour, which spoke about the "union of two powerhouses" (my cousin and his new bride) and the intrigue that accompanied their amalgamation of forces. The video was 'hosted' by Gwen Ifill, and included many familiar PBS reporters for whom my cousin had produced news segments over the years. The video was a stitch, a great parody, full of laughs and love that was developed between the PBS reporting staff and my cousin over the years.
And the next night, at the wedding, we were all gratified to see that Gwen Ifill was there.
Now some people dissemble excitement at the appearance of a celebrity. They act cool, when they're really excited to no end. But people left her alone, and I am sure that, from her standpoint, the evening was one of sacred presence for the bride and groom.
And when it was time to hit the dance floor, my sister Miriam and I found ourselves dancing in a circle of six people, including Gwen Ifill herself!
The tunes were 70's and 80's hits (You Millennials many not recall those ditties!), and Ms. Ifill – who was born the same year as I – was brilliant as we all danced and sang along to those former hits. We discoed and we rocked, and all of us acknowledged the fun and the love that brought us together that evening. The dancing together – simply having fun and enjoying the experience – was just that, and everyone appreciated the energy and the sparkle of the wedding couple, not the presence of this or any particular individual.
This night of celebration, and 'dancing with a star,' simply brought home to me the idea that people are people regardless of their profession and their circumstance, and that the notion of celebrity – however we define it – does not need to separate us, even though some become star-struck and immobilized when a person of notoriety enters the room.
If fact, we were present for some completely holy moment in the life of a family...and that was the most important aspect of all.

S15 Preview: Round 14, Part Two
It is derby day in Australasia. Yes, the first two matches on Saturday provide us with two of the biggest derbies in Super Rugby.
It starts with New Zealand's big north-south derby, the seven-time champion Crusaders (from the South Island) host the three-time champion Blues (from the North Island).
While Australia – unlike New Zealand and South Africa – don't have the hype of a north-south derby, encounters between Waratahs and Brumbies carry the same intense emotional state of birse and discord with it.
After that we head across the Indian Ocean, where the South African conference leaders – the Bulls and Cheetahs – host rivals from Australasia, the Highlanders and Reds respectively.
It may be a cliched expression often used by a pay-TV station, but it will indeed be a Super Saturday.
Jan de Koning looks at all the Saturday matches!
Saturday 18 May
Crusaders v Blues
(AMI Stadium, Christchurch – Kick-off: 19.35; 07.35 GMT)
Just a glance at the two team lists will explain why Blues coach John Kirwan regards this as a game that will produce Test match intensity.
It has been nine years since the Blues last defeated the Crusaders in Christchurch and Kirwan wasted no time in claiming 'underdog' status for his outfit – suggesting it was time to put an end to that disappointing record.
"They deserve everything they've had," Kirwan said of the Crusaders.
"They've been a fantastic franchise and have led the way for many of us and now it's time for us to get down there and earn some respect back and to do that we need to play for 80 minutes and be in a real battle.
"For me it's a Test match and that's how it should be.
"I can't wait, I'm really excited and the players are excited too. We're underdogs, going down there with everything against us – it doesn't get any better than that."
The return of All Black stalwart Kieran Read, after almost two months on the sidelines with injury, will lend credence to Kirwan's statement.
Not just his leadership, but Read's physical presence will give the Crusaders a raw edge that has been lacking in recent weeks.
Although the Blues kept the Crusaders try-less in their 34-15 win at Eden Park back in Week Three, the Blues can expect a far more hostile on-field reception.
Read's return will ensure the Crusaders have a perfect foil for the hard-running ball-carrier Steven Luatua.
However, Read feels the Crusaders' soft underbelly may well be the set pieces.
"We have to take them on there," Read said about the scrums and line-outs.
"That's the one place you can shut them down and not give them that quick ball they need."
The Blues' veteran All Black hooker Kevin Mealamu is well aware of the threat posed by a Crusaders team with their proverbial backs to the wall.
"It's probably not so much the place [Christchurch], but the way they put things together when they are playing on their home patch," Mealamu said of Saturday's showdown.
"It's just like any side playing at home.
"They're a pretty proud team at home so we just want to make sure we can go down there and be ourselves and play our rugby down there," he added.
Prediction: The two factors that can't be discounter in this game is the return of Kieran Read and the home ground advantage the Crusaders will have. The Blues' free-running game may well be hampered by the pressure of the occasion and the Crusaders should be able to sneak a valuable win – by less than 10 points.
Crusaders: 15 Tom Taylor, 14 Tom Marshall, 13 Robbie Fruean, 12 Ryan Crotty, 11 Zac Guildford, 10 Dan Carter, 9 Andy Ellis, 8 Kieran Read (captain), 7 Matt Todd, 6 George Whitelock, 5 Sam Whitelock, 4 Luke Romano, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Corey Flynn, 1 Wyatt Crockett.
Replacements: 16 Ben Funnell, 17 Joe Moody, 18 Dominic Bird, 19 Luke Whitelock, 20 Willi Heinz, 21 Adam Whitelock, 22 Israel Dagg.
Blues: 15 Charles Piutau, 14 Frank Halai, 13 Rene Ranger, 12 Jackson Willison, 11 George Moala, 10 Chris Noakes, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Peter Saili, 7 Luke Braid, 6 Steven Luatua, 5 Ali Williams (captain), 4 Culum Retallick, 3 Angus Ta'avao, 2 Keven Mealamu, 1 Tim Perry.
Replacements: 16 Quentin MacDonald, 17 Sam Prattley, 18 Anthony Boric, 19 Brendon O'Connor, 20 Jamison Gibson-Park, 21 Baden Kerr, 22 Francis Saili.
Referee: Glen Jackson (New Zealand)
Assistant referees: Nick Briant (New Zealand), Kane McBride (New Zealand)
TMO: Keith Brown (New Zealand)
Waratahs v Brumbies
(ANZ Stadium, Sydney – Kick-off: 19.40; 0940 GMT)
The Brumbies are in a position of power, sitting pretty at the top of the Super Rugby table.
However, veteran Wallaby hooker Stephen Moore believes the Canberra-based outfit can't afford to look any further than the potential banana peel that awaits them in Sydney on Saturday.
With the Reds snapping at their heels – just one point separates the two Aussie outfits – the will be desperate to return from Sydney with a minimum of four points (a win) after an encounter with the high-flying Waratahs – who have beaten the Chiefs and Stormers in their last two home games.
The Waratahs are coming off an impressive month of rugby which featured a resounding 72-10 thrashing of the Southern Kings and a thrilling 21-15 victory over the Stormers last Saturday.
In fact the Waratahs' only defeat in Sydney this season was a one-point loss to the Cheetahs back in mid-March and a win on Saturday will certainly help them close the 11-point gap the Brumbies have on them in the standings.
In contrast the Brumbies want to focus on their immediate hurdle, rather than look at play-off scenarios.
"I think one thing we have stressed is not too look at the ladder too much and or say we want to be at this stage by this stage," Moore said in an interview on the Brumbies' website.
"I think it's just important to win this weekend and play really well," Moore added.
"There are no easy games in this competition, this season has shown that, so you can't look beyond the current game.
"This is going to be as hard of a game that we have had all year, so it's up to us to prepare really well this week and arrive in Sydney ready to play."
While the Brumbies hold the upper hand over their interstate rivals in recent seasons, having won the last three encounters, Moore expects the Waratahs will be determined to turn this around and continue their good form.
"Their playing really well and the last two weeks they have performed really well, so their a side in really good form and a very dangerous side," Moore told brumbies.com.
"They are a experienced side and they are showing now that they know how to win and they are going to be hungry for a win on Saturday.
"NSW have the same caliber of players across the board as a team like the Crusaders and they will be in a position to punish us if we make mistakes."
It is an opinion shared by Waratahs captain Dave Dennis, who made no secret of the fact that the Sydneysiders see this as a great opportunity to upstage the competition front-runners.
"The Brumbies have been consistent all season and this match will give the group a chance at redemption for the poor showing down in Canberra earlier in the season," Dennis said in his weekly column.
"I am confident that we have developed as a group since that Round Four clash and the match will allow the team to show our supporters the progress that the club has made."
Prediction: The Brumbies have won only twice in 11 visits to Sydney – 2002 and last year. Somehow the Jake White-coached class of 2013 seem to have a lot more composure and a suffocating style that could bring the desired result. The Waratahs will push them all the way, but the Brumbies should edge their inter-state rivals by seven points.
Waratahs: 15 Israel Folau, 14 Cam Crawford, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Rob Horne, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Brendan McKibbin, 8 Wycliff Palu, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Dave Dennis (captain), 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Paddy Ryan, 2 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 1 Benn Robinson.
Replacements: 16 John Ulugia, 17 Sekope Kepu, 18 Will Skelton, 19 Mitchell Chapman, 20 Matt Lucas, 21 Berrick Barnes, 22 Peter Betham.
Brumbies: 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Christian Lealiifano, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Matt Toomua, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen (captain), 7 George Smith, 6 Peter Kimlin, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Scott Sio.
Replacements: 16 Siliva Siliva, 17 Ruan Smith, 18 Fotu Auelua, 19 Colby Faingaa, 20 Ian Prior, 21 Robbie Coleman, 22 Pat McCabe.

Bulls v Highlanders
(Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria – Kick-off: 17.05; 15.05 GMT)
The Bulls, fresh from their bye week, will be hosting their least-favourite New Zealand team, the Highlanders.
The men from Pretoria have won just four times in 15 encounters with the South Island outfit, the last of those having been back in 2010. Even the Loftus factor doesn't seem to hold much fear for the Kiwis – who have won four and drawn one of their eight visits to Pretoria.
Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph made no secret of the fact that they will look to employ a fast-paced expansive game – which have brought them success in the past – as they look to make Bulls captain Pierre Spies's 100th Super Rugby appearance a forgetful occasion.
"We are going to have to play a game that doesn't suit what they want to do," Joseph told a media briefing in the build-up to Saturday's Loftus encounter.
"If we get any amount of ball then we've got a backline that can do that, but we've got to make sure that we cherish it and look after it," Joseph added.
"We've played that [type of] game against them, a running style, before. You have to play a little bit wider, but you also have to have control.
"The South African mindset, you have to take them on first, earn the right to play wide."
The Bulls, who have showed good variation this season, despite what some critics say, are determined not to be predictable against a team that will look to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Southern Kings last week.
"It is all about the decision-making," Bulls coach Frans Ludeke said, when asked about the variation that has been so evident in the Bulls' game this season and have already netted them 25 tries.
"The tactical decision-makers on the field – the captain, No.9, No.10, No.12 and No.15 from the back to see where the space is – are the key [to success].
"We have to ensure we get that balance right, to attack the space – that ensures you are less predictable."
The Highlanders, a very physical team with bucketloads of All Blacks, are expected to bring a typical abrasive New Zealand approach to the game.
Seasoned international players like Tony Woodcock, Andrew Hore, Brad Thorn, Hosea Gear, Jamie Mackintosh are well complimented by the younger All Blacks – Aaron Smith, Ben Smith and Colin Slade.
"They are a lot like us," Ludeke said, adding: "Teams always say physically they have to be up for it [against the Bulls], but we have respect for them – any New Zealand team brings a huge physical edge.
"It is a huge contest on the advantage line, to get momentum and get behind them [their defensive line].
"At the breakdown it is also a physical contest.
"That is important, but there is more than just that [the physical contest] in the game.
"We have worked hard, especially this year, to be about more than just a physical force.
"When fatigue sets in you have to start thinking differently about the contest – to have variation is part of the game and if you don't have that you don't have much of a chance to be successful."
Prediction: There has been a steely edge to the Bulls' game since they returned from their Australasian tour. The Highlanders are also short of confidence, despite the bravado of their coach. It may be that, despite the experience, the old legs of some of those key All Blacks can't last the pace anymore. Obviously you can never write off the Highlanders, but at home you have to back the Bulls to win – by about 10 points.
Bulls: 15 Jürgen Visser, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Jan Serfontein, 11 Lionel Mapoe, 10 Morné Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Pierre Spies (captain), 7 Dewald Potgieter, 6 Deon Stegmann, 5 Juandre Kruger, 4 Flip van der Merwe, 3 Frik Kirsten, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 1 Morné Mellett.
Replacements: 16 Callie Visagie, 17 Werner Kruger, 18 Grant Hattingh, 19 Arno Botha, 20 Jano Vermaak, 21 Louis Fouché, 22 Bjorn Basson.
Highlanders: 15 Ben Smith, 14 Tino Nemani, 13 Tamati Ellison, 12 Shaun Treeby, 11 Hosea Gear, 10 Colin Slade, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Mose Tuiali'i, 7 John Hardie, 6 Joe Wheeler, 5 Jarrad Hoeata, 4 Brad Thorn, 3 Chris King, 2 Andrew Hore (captain), 1 Jamie Mackintosh.
Replacements: 16 Liam Coltman, 17 Tony Woodcock, 18 Elliot Dixon, 19 TJ Ioane, 20 Fumiaki Tanaka, 21 Hayden Parker, 22 Jason Emery.
Referee: Jaco Peyper (South Africa
Assistant referees: Stuart Berry (South Africa), Attie Buitendag (South Africa)
TMO: Johan Greeff (South Africa)
Cheetahs v Reds
(Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein – Kick-off: 19.10; 17.10 GMT)
The weekend's action concludes with two of the most exciting teams going head-to-head in Bloemfontein.
The Cheetahs will be desperate to bounce back from last week's disappointing loss to the Hurricanes when they host a dangerous, but erratic, Reds team – the last Australian outfit to win in the Free State capital, and that was more than three years ago.
Although on an eight-week unbeaten streak, the Reds have two draws – against the Western Force in Perth and Brumbies in Brisbane – in their last four outings.
Those games show they can be vulnerable when teams managed to neutralise their key playmakers, a fact highlighted by Cheetahs assistant coach Hawies Fourie.
"We have to put [Will] Genia and [Quade] Cooper under pressure and to achieve that you have to put pressure on their forwards," Fourie said, when asked about the key aspects of the game.
"You have to ensure they get slow ball, you have to keep them on the back foot with our defence and tactically we will have to kick much better than last week.
"Those are our three focus points for this week," the Cheetahs' backline mentor added.
The Reds, two from two against South African opposition this year, this year became the first Australian team in Super Rugby history to sweep their New Zealand opponents in one season.
Now they are looking to add the Cheetahs' scalp to their list of successes as they chase an SA clean sweep.
However, the Reds have enjoyed mixed results in South Africa in recent years – suffering two heavy defeats last year, including an 8-61 hammering at the hands of the Bulls in Pretoria a week after a loss to the Sharks in Durban.
In 2011 they beat both the Stormers and Lions – while 2010 saw them beat the Lions and Cheetahs, but lose to the Sharks. Then you have to go back to 2006 to find the last Reds win in the Republic.
"We weren't happy with how we performed in South Africa last season, but we're in a completely different space this time round and are really looking forward to the challenge of playing in the Republic," Reds Director of Coaching Ewen McKenzie said.
"For us, it won't be a case of wanting to make amends for last year, but more about ensuring we leave South Africa having set ourselves up nicely leading into the June Test window.
"With only three games left until we break for the Lions series, now is a time we need to be playing our best Rugby and we'll take plenty of confidence from last night's win over the Sharks."
Prediction: This is probably one of the toughest games to call. If the Cheetahs can regain their pre-bye form, especially the defensive efforts they produced on their Australasian tour, they may well upstage the fancied Reds team. The key is indeed how much time and space will be afforded to Will Genie and Quade Cooper. We feel the Cheetahs have another good win in them this season and they should take this game by about seven points.
Cheetahs: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Willie le Roux, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Robert Ebersohn, 11 Raymond Rhule, 10 Elgar Watts, 9 Piet van Zyl, 8 Philip van der Walt, 7 Pieter Labuschagne, 6 Heinrich Brüssow, 5 Francois Uys, 4 Lodewyk de Jager, 3 Lourens Adriaanse, 2 Adriaan Strauss (captain), 1 Coenie Oosthuizen.
Replacements: 16 Ryno Barnes, 17 Trevor Nyakane, 18 Rynhardt Landman, 19 Johannes Prinsloo, 20 Sarel Pretorius, 21 Riaan Smit, 22 Ryno Benjamin.
Reds: 15 Luke Morahan, 14 Rod Davies, 13 Chris Feauai-Sautia, 12 Anthony Faingaa, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Will Genia, 8 Jake Schatz, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Eddie Quirk, 5 James Horwill (captain), 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper, 2 Saia Faingaa, 1 Greg Holmes.
Replacements: 16 James Hanson, 17 Ben Daley, 18 Ed O'Donoghue, 19 Jarrad Butler, 20 Beau Robinson, 21 Ben Lucas, 22 Ben Tapuai.

⅓ cup finely diced onion (75 ml)
1 Chinese sausage (about 2 ounces), cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 Tbsp minced shallot (30 ml)
2 Tbsp minced garlic (30 ml)
1 tsp sugar (15 ml)

Can Anyone tell me The Meaning of Tarot Card Death REVERSED and Devil REVERSED ?
Please i want a Detailed answer ……….

Tarot Card Meaning Software?
Hello, I wanted to know, where can I find a software program that willl decipher the meaning of my Tarot spead? What I mean is, if I input it in a program and it will tell me what it means. Is there anything like that out there? Thanks in advance!
Suggestion by FineWhine
There is an amazingly accurate program called Tarot Magic. It has many different spreads and different Tarot decks. You then pick the cards in the program and not only does it explain the reading, but you can read about each card in detail.
Ok just pulled up the program to make sure about this since I always do the full reading with the program. There is a library in the program with a variety of Tarot related "books." There are several that detail each card, so if you wanted to just refer to that for the meaning, you could do that too, since I think that was your specific question.
It is made by the folks at Tarot.com so you can get a sense of it over there. But if you buy it I'd suggest checking out Amazon or Ebay as they are usually cheaper. I had a friend get me that progam and the other one they make about the Iching called The Oracle of Changes. She had me order what I wanted as a gift, and at the time there was a sale on both and free shipping at Amazon.
I have been blown away by how accurate they both have been. Although I've had a problem running the Iching on my super fast new laptop, and if I use the work around they give it slows down my system. (Felt I'd toss in a heads up since I am suggesting it.).
Hope this helps!
these are four meaning to four tarot cards more to follow. THE meanings of these are what they mean to me and you may not agree with me and thats ok becouse tarot cardsd have so meny meanings so just write down what the cards mean to you. and you can always email me at email@example.com and the tarot card meaning are what they mean to me on there own . when they are together they can mean other things but all you have to do is look at the other cards and it is not has hard has it sounds becouse if you are ment to read the Tarot Cards you will.

''HOPES'': European cooperation enables Syrian refugees in Turkey and the Middle East to take up university studies - More than 300 scholarships will be offered!
© Foto: Norbert Hüttermann / DAAD
The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), in cooperation with its partners from British Council, Campus France and EP-Nuffic, has launched a new programme to provide Syrian refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt the opportunity to gain access to higher education. In addition to reaching up to 42,000 young Syrians through academic counselling, the project will provide language courses and short-term study programmes to more than 7,500 student refugees and award more than 300 full scholarships to Syrian refugees in the region. A total of 12 million euros has been allocated for this purpose until 2019. The programme is financed by the EU Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian Crisis, the 'Madad Fund'.
"By facilitating access to tailor-made academic programmes in the host countries, we are offering these young people and their families long-term opportunities in the region. These future professionals will be urgently needed to rebuild Syria when the time comes," explains DAAD President Prof. Margret Wintermantel.
In the first phase of the programme, Syrian refugees will receive counselling and advice with regard to the academic programmes available to them in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt. The first students are expected to receive a scholarship for studying at a Turkish University from September this year onwards. In addition to full scholarships, the programme also offers preparatory and language courses and supports the creation of innovative educational programmes and capacity-building of local institutions.
Applicants for scholarships will be selected on the basis of their academic potential, whereby social aspects will also play a role. This will ensure that applicants from disadvantaged families are given an equal chance. To this end, the project intends to work closely with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). Vulnerable host communities will also profit from services offered under this programme.

4 star hotels in New York
Things to see in New York
If it's your first vacation in New York, start at the top—the legendary observation deck on the 86th floor of the Empire State building—where you can get your bearings with 360-degree views across the whole of Manhattan while enjoying your very own King Kong moment. See if you can spot the iconic Flatiron Building, the Art Deco Chrysler Building, the bright lights of Broadway below, and the silver strip of the Hudson in the distance. Go window-shopping on glamorous Fifth Avenue to check out the latest New York fashions, or rub shoulders with selfie-snapping tourists in pulsating Times Square, rightly known as the "Crossroads of the World." For a gentler view of the city, head for the green lung of Central Park, where you can take a scenic ride in a horse-drawn carriage or use your own horsepower to explore on a bike.
Four-star hotels in New York
It may be known as the city that never sleeps, but sooner or later you'll need to recharge your batteries and find a comfortable place to lay your head. There's no shortage of four hotels in New York City, but choosing the right one will transform your first impressions of the city. At the end of a stimulating but exhausting day of sightseeing, you'll be grateful for some of life's little luxuries, like free WiFi, fitness suites, and fine-dining in on-site restaurants. Four star hotels in New York are often located in skyscraper blocks, so ask for a room on the higher floors for unforgettable views with your wake-up call.
Where to stay in New York
In a city as diverse as New York, location is everything, especially if you're on a flying visit and want to make the most of your limited time and stay in a great four star hotel. Centrally situated Broadway has plenty of 4-star hotels within easy walking distance of theaterland and its vibrant restaurant and club scene. Stay in the elegant boulevards around Central Park, or make your way downtown and check into one of the many 4 star hotels in Lower Manhattan. For the ultimate in boho chic, consider a stay in freewheeling Chelsea, one of the city's most colorful neighborhoods, full of art galleries, artisan markets, and hipster hangouts.
How to get to New York
New York is one of the world's busiest transport hubs, with two international airports—JFK and Newark—between them serving all the major airlines and destinations. Both airports have frequent transportation connections to downtown via the AirTrain that links directly with the New York subway. Alternatively, hop into one of the many yellow cabs lined up outside and get whisked straight into the heart of Manhattan. Domestic flights into LaGuardia connect New York with other major US cities. New York is also a busy sea port, with cruise ships arriving daily from the four corners of the globe, offering passengers a spectacular first glimpse of the iconic Manhattan skyline.

After enjoying a brief hiatus, MP3 Mailbox Monday is back--and back to basics. Perhaps one of the most confusing things about portable music devices is audio format compatibility, and yet this is an elemental feature of any player. So which format works best? It all depends on the user, but one of the answers below will help you sort it out. Also, learn how to burn MP3 CDs in iTunes and find out possible reasons for your MP3 player only playing tracks in alphabetical order.
Q: I'm sure that you've answered this question many times, but I'll ask it again. I'm in the process of ripping my CD collection to my PC so which format is really the best: MP3 or WMA? I use an iPod almost exclusively now but also have an LG Chocolate and an older Sansa MP3 player. I also help my father with his players, too. I only want to do this once and want to do it right -- Tony, via e-mail
A: MP3 is what I like to call an "antique" format: it's old. It plays on pretty much any device, but it's not as advanced as some later formats such as WMA and AAC. It is generally agreed upon that a file ripped into WMA/AAC at a lower bit rate, say 64kbps, will sound better than that same file ripped at 64kbps MP3. In turn, that allows you to have a smaller WMA/AAC file that sounds as good as an MP3 that takes up more space. That is, a 64kbps WMA/AAC may offer sound quality roughly equivalent to a 128kbps MP3 but takes up half the space (1.5MB versus 3MB, say). For me, that makes WMA or AAC a better format, but this is subjective. Also, as the bit rates get higher, most normal listeners can't tell the difference between the various file types.
MP3 is still the most universal format, and some people think that it is a better format. In your case, for instance, you mention three different portable music devices: an iPod, a Chocolate, and a Sansa. While the iPod and Chocolate play AAC, the Sansa plays WMA, but they all play MP3. So for you, MP3 may be the best option. Of course, these are all lossy formats; most audio purists stick to formats such as WAV and FLAC, although the resulting files are significantly larger.
Q: I have CD player that can play MP3 CDs. I want to put a large amount of songs (~30 songs) on one CD. Can you please tell me how to burn a CD with MP3 instead of WAV on iTunes? -- Jeff, via e-mail
A: Open iTunes and go to Edit > Preferences. Then, select the Advanced tab, and next, the Burning tab. In that area, check the box for MP3 CD and then click OK. Now, burn a CD just as you normally would: create a playlist of the desired tracks, put a blank CD-R in the drive, highlight the playlist, and click the large Burn Disk button. If you want to go back to burning standard audio CDs, follow the same steps, but check the box for Audio CD instead.
Q: I have an MP3 player (Insignia 4GB) but will be the first to admit I don't have much time to mess with it. I use it mostly for audiobooks, so it must be compatible with audiobooks. My problem : I have a large music collection, but when I put songs on the player, the damn thing plays them alphabetically (All songs that start with "A," then "B", etc) instead of by album, in the album's order. I use Rhapsody on my computer. -- Larry, via e-mail
A: Rhapsody should transfer all of the ID3 tag info to the player, and the Insignia recognizes ID3 tag info itself, so I don't think it's a software or hardware issue, but a matter of navigation. Now, if you go straight to all tracks (Music > Songs), the default for any MP3 player is to play all the tracks on the device straight through in alphabetical order. Not much you can do about that, I'm afraid, besides put the player on shuffle, which will not play things in album order either. If you navigate Music > Artist > Album, or just Music > Album and play from there, the tracks from that album should play in numerical order, with the first track playing first, the second, second, and so on.
If you're already navigating this way, chances are there is missing info in your ID3 tags (which is where the track data lives). Most likely, this is track numbers. You can fix these by hand in Rhapsody by right-clicking on a track and selecting Edit Track Info (a time consuming process), or you can let software do it for you. One program people seem to like is TagScanner.
(Note: this article has been updated to include more up-to-date data and links to back up sources.)
MP3 Mailbox Monday is a recurring feature where I answer a selection of questions about MP3 players and accessories, such as headphones, speakers, and music services and software. Check back often to see if the advice presented here might be of some use to you, or send your questions directly to me. (Note: We never include last names, but if you prefer to remain completely anonymous, please state as much in your e-mail.)

Last week, as the Chicago teachers' strike was puttering out of the news cycle and the National Football League's lockout of its referees was thundering in, a federal labor mediator announced to little fanfare that the International Longshoremen's Association and U.S. Maritime Alliance had agreed, "for the good of the country," to extend the master contract governing dock work from Maine to Texas for 90 days.
The media barely covered the news, but the implications were enormous. If the two sides had failed to reach a deal before the existing contract expired on Sept. 30, the resulting chaos would have touched not only the 20,000-some longshoremen who punch a clock on the East Coast, but thousands of truckers and railroad men, mechanics and warehouse workers, and the many millions of Americans who buy and sell automobiles, home electronics, designer jeans, toothpaste and anything else that's manufactured on foreign shores. Pretty much everyone.
Three months from now, it could still happen.

From routine checkups to laser treatments, Eric Weinstein, D.P.M. is equipped to handle all your podiatric needs. To help you understand your options, we've included descriptions of some of our leading services on this page.
Plantar Fasciitis/Heel Spur Syndrome
Plantar fasciitis (or heel pain) is commonly traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. Our practice can evaluate arch pain, and may prescribe customized shoe inserts called orthoses to help alleviate the pain.
Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the connective tissue that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Also called "heel spur syndrome," the condition can usually be successfully treated with conservative measures such as use of anti-inflammatory medications and ice packs, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and physical therapy.
More serious foot lesions such as malignant lesions can sometimes be mistaken as a wart. Children, especially teenagers, tend to be more susceptible to warts than adults; some people seem to be immune.
Plantar warts tend to be hard and flat, with a rough surface and well-defined boundaries; warts are generally raised and fleshier when they appear on the top of the foot or on the toes. Plantar warts are often gray or brown (but the color may vary), with a center that appears as one or more pinpoints of black. It is important to note that warts can be very resistant to treatment and have a tendency to reoccur.
Ingrown toenails often are the result of trimming your toenails too short, particularly on the sides of your big toes.
While they are common, ingrown toenails can be painful. When trimming your nails, avoid tapering the corners so that the nail curves with the shape of your toe. The sides of the nail will curl down and dig into your skin. Shoes that are too tight or short also may cause ingrown toenails.
Neuromas are enlarged benign growths of nerves, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. They are caused by tissue rubbing against and irritating the nerves. Pressure from poorly-fitting shoes or abnormal bone structure can create the condition as well. Treatments include special shoes or inserts and/or cortisone injections, but surgical removal of the growth is sometimes necessary.

TestSwarm: Continious & Distributed JS Testing
It offers a continious & distributed testing environment that can be used by multiple users running the tests in various browsers with a "set-and-forget" logic.
How It Works?
- With the help of several JS functions that are needed to be included inside the applications to be tested,
- TestSwarm sends the "test jobs" to a centralized server via PHP (data is kept in a MySQL db.).
- Clients who are connected to the TestSwarm interface automatically queries the server every 30 seconds & completes the incompleted jobs in an iframe.
- The results of the tests can be viewed "live" in a test results report page.
TestSwarm comes with support for the following test frameworks built in (with more to come): QUnit (jQuery), UnitTestJS (Prototype), JSSpec (MooTools), JSUnit, Selenium, and Dojo Objective Harness.
P.S. The project is currently in alpha stage & can have some bugs.

Hazrat Inayat Khan Quotes About BeliefQuotes about: Belief
Things of heaven cannot be obtained by perseverance; they are the grace of God. To open to this and trust in it is how belief is crystallized into faith. We cannot pay for it in any form, in any way, by our goodness, by our piety, by our great qualities, merits, or virtues; nothing. It is a gift, and all we can do is receive it.
Every mind has its particular standard of good and bad, and of right and wrong. This standard is made by what one has experienced through life, by what one has seen or heard; it also depends upon one's belief in a certain religion, one's birth in a certain nation and origin in a certain race. But what can really be called good or bad, right or wrong, is what comforts the mind and what causes it discomfort. It is not true, although it appears so, that it is discomfort that causes wrongdoing. In reality, it is wrongdoing which causes discomfort, and it is right-doing which gives comfort.

When you're formatting text, it can get a little tedious applying the same formatting over and over again. Dreamweaver helps by allowing you to save sets of formatting, such as Bold +Arial +Heading 3 +Red, as a named HTML style.
HTML styles are similar to styles in Microsoft Word or Adobe PageMaker. They're a collection of text attributes that you can save and use again and again. HTML styles are also similar to cascading style sheets (CSS) (see sidebar).
HTML Styles vs. CSS
The main difference between HTML styles and cascading style sheets (CSS) is that with CSS (discussed in Chapter 11), if you change a style, all instances of that style will be changed as well. For example, if you create a style called A-Head, one of its attributes may be the color blue. In CSS, if you change its color to red, all uses of the A-Head style will turn red automatically. There is no automatic update in HTML styles.
When you change an HTML style and want your changes to be applied to prior uses of the style, you'll need to reapply the modified style to those portions of your text.
Why then, does Dreamweaver provide HTML styles instead of relying on CSS? Because CSS is not available to all browsers; because it acts differently in different browsers; and because Dreamweaver is for editing Web pages, not just style sheets. As long as people continue to use the old HTML text standards, why not make using them easier?
