April 29, 2008
By Matt Wilson/Nashville City Paper - Two years ago, in Kristin Peck's first year as coach, the Lipscomb Lady Bisons softball team didn't even make the conference tournament.
It's safe to say she's turned things around now.
The Lady Bisons have earned the No. 1 seed in the Atlantic Sun tournament coming up next weekend and are 16-6 in the conference.
But Peck, a former Lady Bison herself, isn't necessarily shocked by the turnaround.
"Things have kind of been moving in that direction," Peck said. "We knew we had the ability... it was a matter of getting it done and stepping up. I think we've surprised other people."
Leading the way for the Lady Bisons has been a strong sophomore class. Sophomores Kellie Sirus and Abby Keese are leading the team in batting average. Sirus is hitting .389 and Keese is hitting .348. Alaina Jacobson, another sophomore, is Lipscomb's top pitcher at 11-4 with a 2.72 ERA.
It's this class Peck credits with boosting the Lady Bisons' competitive edge.
"Our sophomore class is very competitive," Peck said. "At times they've carried us. They're fun to be around, but when they get on the field they want to win."
The tipping point for Lipscomb this season came when the Lady Bisons beat East Tennessee State in the second half of a doubleheader thanks to Keese's 11th home run of the season. From there, Lipscomb won another 10 games in a row, including a two-game sweep of softball powerhouse Kennesaw State. Peck said it was during that streak that the team began to see itself as a championship contender.
"Once it started becoming a reality, they came at it that much harder," Peck said.
The heart of the batting order for the Lady Bisons has been getting it done. Sirus has seven home runs and Keese, a shortstop, has hit a team-leading 14 homers this season. Heather Collins, a senior, hits .295 and keeps opposing pitchers honest.
"She has the reputation of a big-time hitter," Peck said.
Lauren Dortwegt, a sophomore leadoff hitter, is batting .282 and has been the X-factor for the Lady Bisons. She leads the team in triples and stolen bases.
"If Lauren finds ways to get on base, we do well," Peck said.
Now the Lady Bisons are already focusing on the conference tournament, held May 8-10 in DeLand, Fla. "Heading into the tournament...we by no means are through the worst of it," Peck said. "There's not one team that sticks out from everybody else."
For Peck, who helped lead the Lady Bisons program to 122 wins as a player, this has been a sweet season.
"It's been a fun ride," Peck said. "It's been a quick learning process. I'm very competitive. It's fun to see that in the girls now. It means a lot to me."

Registration Process
Advanced registration for spring courses usually occurs in October and for fall courses occurs in April (the exact period can be found in the current schedule of classes).
Registration Checklist
UIS Requirements Each semester you should review your status with UIS courses. You must take four different courses from the five UIS categories (UISC, UISS, UISA, UIST). All Barney Students must have an UISA. **Barney students are not allowed to take UISS 155** Transfer Students with 15 credits should take three UIS courses, 30 credits take two UIS courses, with 45 credits take one UIS course and with 60+ credits, it is not necessary to take any.
BAR Classes Each semester you should review your status with BAR classes. You must take BAR 110 (freshmen), BAR 210 (sophomores), and BAR 310 (juniors). If you missed one or more due to transfer or change of major, you should register for the appropriate level for your class standing and all those missed.
Prerequisites Verify that you have met all of the necessary prerequisites for the courses you have selected.
Holds Verify that you have no holds on your account (Health Services, Billing, Admissions, etc.)
Courses in Major When you reach junior year you should discuss your major courses with a faculty advisor. This includes planning for your 200 hour required internship (see page 16 for additional information). Contact them by phone or email to make an appointment.
Single Semester Offering Verify if any of your classes are only offered in the fall or spring semester.
How to Register
The Registrars Office will send you a registration date each semester based on your credits earned. You may register on or after that date. Once you have determined a tentative schedule you may register one of three ways.
You may get your courses approved in advance of your registration date by your faculty advisor. You will then be issued a personal identification number (PIN) to register online using the Self-Service Center.
You may register directly by making an appointment with your faculty advisor on or soon after your registration date.
You may complete a registration form and have it signed by your faculty advisor. That form would need to be submitted to the Student Administrative Services Center (SASC) on the second floor of the Computer and Administration building.
Closed/Full Classes
When you find that a class is closed, your first option is to select another section of the course that fits in your schedule. If this is not possible, you should select another course from your list of options. Remember, required courses should be completed in sequence.
The Override Form
The override form should be used when the class you wish to attend is filled to capacity and you can not find an alternative section or course to take. Approval is given at the discretion of the instructor. The override form must be signed by the instructor of the class and you must have an advisor approved drop/add form. Both forms must be taken to the Registrars Office.
The Add-Drop Process
You may find it necessary to change a course after you have set up your schedule. With your PIN number, you can make these changes online using the Self-Service Center up until the start of the semester. After that point, all add/drops would have to be done using a Change of Program Form (frequently referred to as an Add/Drop form.) All changes should be approved by an advisor in the Office of Academic Services. Please keep in mind that you should not make changes to your schedule without good reason. If you change your schedule after the semester has started, you run the risk of missing essential material. Following are some rules to remember about the Drop/Add process:
During the first week of classes, adding a course requires only an advisors signature. During the second week, both an advisor and the instructor offering the course must approve the add. During the third week, an advisor, the instructor offering the course and the Dean of the college offering the course must approve the add.
Dropping (Withdrawal
You may drop a class during the first ten weeks of the semester with the signature of an advisor in the Office of Academic Services. This is one of the dates you need to monitor. Courses dropped during the first three weeks will not appear on your transcript. Courses dropped during weeks four through ten will appear on your transcript with the letter W beside them.
You may not drop a class after the tenth week unless you have a personal or medical emergency. Such withdrawals require sufficient documentation, your advisors recommendation and the approval of the Dean of the Barney School.
You are not automatically dropped from a course if you stop going to class. Instead, you may receive a grade F for that course. To drop a course, you must complete an Add/Drop form.
You must carry at least twelve credits each semester to remain a full-time student. If you drop below 12 credits you may lose your full financial aid benefits. You should contact the Office of Financial Aid (768-4296) to discuss this. 5. Students not holding United States Citizenship must carry at least twelve credits each semester to meet visa obligations.
Pass/No Pass
You can change to Pass/ No Pass status until the tenth week of classes.
Only unrestricted or non-business electives may be taken as Pass/ No Pass. All required business and Arts & Science classes must be taken for a letter grade.

Johnny Depp has opened up about his split from former partner Vanessa Paradis, insisting the two stars are trying to "make the best of it" for the sake of their kids.
The couple ended its 14-year relationship last summer, and the actor has now moved on with actress Amber Heard.
Speaking about the break-up for the first time in a new Rolling Stone interview, the star says, "The last couple years have been a bit bumpy. At times, certainly unpleasant, but that's the nature of break-ups, I guess, especially when there are kiddies involved.
"Relationships are very difficult, especially in the racket that I'm in because you're constantly away or they're away and so it's hard. It wasn't easy on her. It wasn't easy on me. It wasn't easy on the kids.
"The trajectory of that relationship – you play it out until it goes, one thing leads to another. So, for whatever reason that ceases, it doesn't stop the fact that you care for that person, and they're the mother of your kids, and you'll always know each other, and you're always gonna be in each other's lives because of those kids. You might as well make the best of it."
However, he made it a priority to make sure his two children were OK through the break-up of their parents, stating, "They've been incredibly understanding, incredibly strong throughout the whole ordeal. … Kiddies come first. You can't shield them, because then you'd be lying. So you can at least be honest with your kids, and you say the absolute truth to your child – that was very important to not pussyfoot around."
And he admits his new-found sobriety helped him with that: "I definitely wasn't going to rely on the drink to ease things or cushion the blow or cushion the situation, 'cause that could have been fatal. I felt it was my duty to be real clear throughout that. I had something pretty serious to focus on, really, which was making sure that my kids were gonna be cool.
"(I had to) bite the bullet and deal with real life, deal with clarity."

The Women's Prize for Fiction is one of the most prestigious literary awards in the English-speaking world. It was established in the United Kingdom to recognize the best original full-length novel written in English by a female author of any nationality. The Women's Prize has been awarded to a number of beloved authors, including Barbara Kingsolver, Marilynne Robinson, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Zadie Smith, and Ann Patchett. If it doesn't sound familiar, perhaps it's because the Women's Prize was called the Orange Prize from the time it was launched in 1996 until last year, when it parted ways with its main sponsor.
The 2013 longlist was announced earlier this month; the shortlist of finalists will be announced on April 16 and the final prize will be awarded on June 4.

PIRATE CAT, INO and DIESEL
I'm gonna be on Pirate Cat radio 89.7 FM in San Francisco today at 2pm Pacific Time. You can hear it live streaming at www.piratecatradio.com/. So listen up, darn you!!
My friend Greg Fain, ino of San Francisco Zen Center, has a blog called The Ino's Blog that you may enjoy. He explains what an ino is in the blog.
The rest of my Bay Area dates are:
•March 20, 2009 (Fri), 6:30-9 pm - San Francisco Zen Center Dinner & Talk - 300 Page St. San Francisco, CA 94102
•March 21, 2009 (Sat), 4 pm - Green Apple Books 506 Clement St. at 6th Ave. San Francisco, CA 94118 email@example.com
•March 22, 2009 (Sun), 1:30 pm Copperfield's Books 140 Kentucky Street Petaluma, CA firstname.lastname@example.com
And don't forget about the Interdependence Project in New York City on March 25th. That's at 302 Bowery, (Buzzer #2) New York, NY 10012.
There's more info on my page of tour dates which is linked over there to your left<<<<.
My book signing at Diesel Books in Oakland yesterday was one of the best I've ever done. I'm usually a bit leery or at least cautious about bookstore events. They range all over the map, from a Spinal Tap-like disaster in Cleveland where literally one person showed up, to the one in Greenwich Village that got hijacked by a couple Christina Fundamentalists* who used the Q&A session to advance their own views, to some really amazing places with attentive and fun audiences. Last night was one of those.
But, as per usual with me, I forgot to bring my camera. So the actual contents of the event will be forever lost to the ages.
And speaking of ages, one of the greatest people I met last night was a woman named Lea. I know it's impolite to discuss the age of a lady. So I'll just say she was well beyond what's usually thought of as my target demographic of young punk rockers. But she was so sweet and kind and expressed such a love for my books I almost felt like I might be doing some little bit of good. Or at least providing some quality entertainment value. Thank you Lea and thank you everyone who showed up last night!
*I only caught this type-o after I posted the blog. But I'm leaving it in because it amuses me to imagine what Christina Fundamentalists might be. Obviously I meant to write "Christian Fundamentalists."

See snowball. See snowball hit child. This is how we've been spending our Thanksgiving week.
Snow ball fights, a continues pot of apple cider bubbling on the stove ready to sluff off the chill and a immense amount of gratitude for having a warm home.
Right now I'm making the last additions to my grocery list and eagerly planning out my additions to the two Thanksgiving meals we will be attending over the next couple of day.
I will be making Brioche rolls using the recipe from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking (If you don't have this book I highly recommend it and it just so happens to be 50% on Amazon right now). It's a wonderful and easy recipe.
A variation of these sweet potatoes from Saveur.com will also be coming from my kitchen. Marshmallows AND a brown sugar, nut top? Everyone will be happy!
Most importantly we'll be reflecting on all that we have to be Thankful for this year. It's been a full and incredible year and when I begin to list all that I am thankful for my heart nearly explodes.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! May it be filled with safe travels, laughter filling the air and incredible bounty of food.

This plant gives me an autumn feeling.
Warm colors like orange, brown and earthly green.
I went through my stash and did a bit of mix and match in search for that warm autumn feeling
And wouldn't it be lovely to make them into a fall logcabin quilt.
One like this. Oooh yes... It would be lovely indeed!!!
Just like this winter log cabin quilt from 2007.

Reviewed by Alix B. (age 9)
I like this book because it was about the forced migration of Navahos from Arizona to New Mexico. My favorite part was when they were kidnapped because it was exciting and realistic. I thought this was a special book because it describes what the Navaho people had to go through and how painful it was. It reminded me of when I had to move and leave all my old surroundings. This book made me calm and excited at the same time.
I recommend this book for all ages and both genders who like historical fiction. It is interesting because you never know what`s going to happen. Too bad it is not a series. I suggest you read it if this isn`t enough for you. Read it!

Alien Skin Software Ships Exposure 4 Plug-In for Photoshop and Lightroom
Redesigned user interface that makes experimentation easier. New effects like color infrared film, light leaks, and realistic dust and scratches. Runs faster.
Raleigh, North Carolina – February 13, 2011 – Alien Skin Software today announces the immediate availability of Exposure® 4, the new version of its photography effects plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop®, Photoshop Elements, and Photoshop Lightroom®. Exposure provides accurate film simulation and a wide range of creative effects in a simple interface.

Exposure brings all the creative tools of film photography to the world of digital, such as discontinued films, dark room tricks, and lo-fi camera quirks. Popular classic films are accurately simulated, like Kodachrome, Polaroid, and Panatomic-X. Exposure reproduces the ethereal glow of black & white infrared film, and now color infrared.
New texture overlay effects are built from high resolution photos of light leaks, dust and scratches, and borders. This helps add detail to new presets for alternative photographic processes like cyanotype, lith printing, and wet plate photography.
Exposure 4 has a completely redesigned user interface and new controls that help you quickly explore its wide range of effects or develop your own custom looks. Black & White and Color Film are now combined into one filter so everything is in one place. The new text search lets you instantly explore hundreds of presets. Simply mouse over one to see a thumbnail preview.
To help you get started and for advanced techniques, the Web site has a library of tutorial videos and example images.
Pricing and Availability
Exposure 4 is available through www.alienskin.com for $249 USD. Owners of any version of Exposure may upgrade for $99 USD. Free upgrades were automatically sent to everyone who purchased Exposure 3 directly from Alien Skin Software in November 2011 or later.

David Mellor's most magnificent cutlery was originally commissioned in 1963 by the British government for use in British embassies. The commission incorporated a whole range of silver tableware including Mellor's famous Embassy teapot and Embassy candlesticks.
His spectacular Embassy cutlery shows characteristic flair in the highly original shaping of the knife handle and exceptional elegance of the 3-prong fork.
Embassy is now being made to the original design in mirror polished stainless steel. Each piece is hand finished individually with a 'DM' maker's mark.

David Mellor Design operates on the simple principle that well designed tableware is a vital part of any interior. The company was set up by David Mellor, Royal Designer for Industry, in the 1950s. The first and now famous David Mellor shop opened in Sloane Square, London, in 1969 and soon became a focal point of Swinging Sixties Chelsea and remains one of London's most original and individual shops. We run our own design office within the company and so the David Mellor collection is constantly evolving. Many of our products are designed by Corin Mellor, Creative Director, exclusively for the David Mellor shops and are produced by specially selected workshop producers and manufacturers. David Mellor now holds one of the most impressive collections of the finest British Crafts and sophisticated modern tableware and kitchenware, including the world famous David Mellor Cutlery, to be found on the international scene.
David Mellor was one of the great 20th century designers with an international reputation for his cutlery. He was born in Sheffield and trained originally as a silversmith. Examples of his metalwork are in museum collections as over the world. David Mellor established his first workshop in 1973 before moving production to his purpose-built factory, The Round Building in Hathersage, Derbyshire, in 1990. He has drawn on Sheffield traditions of craftsmanship in evolving a product altogether of our time.

The Adobe FrameMaker 2017 release has been one of the most successful releases in the history of FrameMaker. The completely re-thought and re-designed user interface with many smaller and bigger improvements, the new HTML5 based and customizable "Welcome Screen", compatibility with high-res / high-dpi screens up to 4K, the smart command search, better image handling, the new project manager, enhanced conditional tags, enhanced DITA authoring and management, omnichannel publishing and brand-new modern and Section 508 compliant Responsive HTML5 outputs with the new predictive auto-complete search bar and much more got overwhelmingly positive reviews.
And we were very active since the launch in January. We got a lot of valuable feedback and wishes from you. We are always listening and willing to walk that extra mile to incorporate your feedback. Today, we're happy to announce the availability of the first update to 2017 release of FrameMaker.
In this important update, we have incorporated a number of enhancements and ironed out a lot of smaller glitches. I would like to extend big thanks to all those who've contributed by reporting issues and helping us improve the product. In this post, you can find the important updates and fixes that we made in 2017 release of FrameMaker (Update 1). Complete list is available here.
What's new and better
Following the list of enhancements and issues fixed in the 2017 release of FrameMaker (Update 1).
In this post:
User Interface
Many of you told us that you prefer to dock the Graphics Toolbar horizontally. In 2017 release, only vertical docking was possible. So we brought that back: Dock the Graphics toolbar with Update 1 vertically or horizontally just as you prefer. Also, we ironed out a few UI glitches in the Graphics Toolbar
We made more enhancements to the Paragraph Designer! Now you can rename existing styles very easy with this nice new "Rename" button. And there's more intelligence in it: When you just change a style's properties, you see an "Update Style" button. When you type in changes in a style name, the "Update Style" button changes to "Create Style" and the "Rename" button becomes active. The decision to rename the current style or to create a completely new one is now just a mouse click away!
We understand that many of you do not only author and publish in their native language, but need to edit translated variants of their documents as well. And FrameMaker supports spell checking and hyphenation for up to 40 languages out of the box. But FrameMaker's typography engine is even more powerful than that! In fact so powerful, that you can author and edit virtually any (!) language of this beautiful planet, even if we do not provide spell checkers and hyphenation engines for them. With FrameMaker 2017 you can even edit languages like አማርኛ (Amharic), ܐܬܘܪܝܐ (Assyrian), မြန်မာစ (Burmese), हिन्दी (Hindi), বাংলা (Bengali), తెలుగు (Telugu), मराठी (Marathi), தமிழ் (Tamil) and all others (not even your browser might be able to show them here!). You have never heard of "ᓀᐦᐃᓇᐍᐏᐣ (Swampy Cree)"? And you will probably not publish your technical documentation in this language? Okay. But it's a good feeling you could do it with FrameMaker if you ever need to, isn't it?
So. Now, you got this Arabic translation back from your translator. But which language do you assign now in FrameMaker? فارسی? or was it العربية? Now, in FrameMaker 2017 Update 1 you can simply select "Farsi" and "Arabic" from the language drop-down. And same for other language names with non-western characters that were in the language drop-down in their native language names.
Of course we also did not forget the Character Designer. And also not the Preferences dialog where you can specify which spellchecker and hypenation engine you want to use (depending on the language you can select between Hunspell, Proximity and Winsoft).
Oh, tables. Yes, we heard you. Many of you asked us to improve the Sort Table dialog because it was hard to work with it. In Update 1 for FrameMaker 2017, we have completely redesigned the dialog to make it much easier to use.
Adding and editing multiple Variables in one go is easier now. In 2017 release, creation and editing were done using a modal dialog which was better suited for a one-time action. This change is now rolled back as users prefer to have it open while adding and editing multiple variables in one go.
Adding Page Breaks now also happens in a pod which remains open in order to take multiple actions. In 2017 release, this was transformed to a modal dialog which would close after every action.
A Conditional Tag option is now added to the 'Insert' menu in unstructured mode. This change is part of menu reorganization where a new "Insert" menu is added to make insertion of common items easier.
You didn't like that the 'Conditional Tag' pod had a minimum height that was unnecessarily big? We neither. That's why we made the height of the Conditional Text pod completely adjustable now. The constraint on minimum height is removed and the last entry in the list is not truncated anymore.
If you are doing a lot of Structured Template development, you will love to hear that we made the Show Element Context dialog re-sizable now.
We understand that there are many FrameMaker users who do not work with XML. For those of you who work in the "classic" FrameMaker mode without XML, we have customized the welcome screen in the way, that all the DITA, DocBook and other XML options are not visible. See the difference between classic and structured FrameMaker in the Welcome Screen in this animation:
Customize your Welcome Screen! Those of you who have already started to customize FrameMaker 2017's new Welcome Screen will love to hear that: We made it easier now to customize the Welcome Screen or even create your completely new own Welcome Screen.
We have added the Welcome Screen to
%appdata%\Adobe\FrameMaker\14\resources\welcomeScreen\, so that you can customize the
welcome.htmlthere. Makes it more easy to edit and more "update-save" and avoids the need to edit the
welcome.htmlin FrameMaker's installation folder. We have also updated the User Guide with this info.
The File Open dialog lists all supported file formats now including XML and DITA formats. In earlier versions, if you open a file using
File > Openor Ctrl+o, the dialog lists only unstructured documents in 'Files of type' drop-down.
While working on extended desktops, the Command Search (F7) pop-up appears as expected on the desired monitor now.
Saving a document in View Only mode is now made possible. This option was removed from the 2017 release.
Dynamic Content Filters work correctly on indexes in Responsive HTML5 output. Earlier, indexes would continue to show even after applying filters.
We love Animated GIFs! That's why we took care that they are now rendered correctly in Responsive HTML5 output.
All Responsive HTML5 layouts are now Section 508 compliant.
On clicking a link of responsive HTML5 output from Google search results, the content is now shown in the full layout. Earlier, the page would open without the layout and user had to click on "Show" to get back to entire help system with TOC and layout.
When you update from FrameMaker 2015 you can now import your customized Screen Layout
.slzfile and your customizations are migrated properly.
When pulblishiing to the new "Basic HTML", the new slim XHTML 1.0 Transitional output format, a slim
index.htmlis created, that contains links to all HTML files included in the output. This is especially useful if you publish multiple files from a book.
FrameMaker Object Model version number appears correctly now in ExtendScript Toolkit.
In the FrameMaker 2017 release we made inserting images into your document much easier and faster with the new
Insert > Imagemenu. In previous versions you had to go a complicated route through
File > Import > File. We have enhanced this and now you can also insert images in CGM format by using the
Insert > Imagemenu option.
We have updated FrameMaker's internal Book MIF Parser for full Unicode compatibility in Windows path and file names. This makes it more easy for developpers to created automated processes based on Book MIFs.
Redundant alert messages are no longer shown on removing structure from a document. Prior to this, two alerts were shown that required more clicks.
We have fixed a couple of crashes reported while using advance search in Repository Manager.
The Apache Xerces™ C++ XML Parser is an Open Source Software used for advanced XML parsing. The Xerces DLLs used in FrameMaker are updated to the latest version (3.1.4). This improves FrameMaker's XML performance in many fields and fixes several bugs.
In addition we have fixed a couple of crashes reported while using advance search in Repository Manager and while saving FM files in older formats. A good number of issues related to localization (truncated strings or translation errors) are fixed as well.
You can also download the FrameMaker (2017 release) Update 1 Readme PDF here.
How to get Update 1 for FrameMaker (2017 release)
Getting the update is as easy. Just select
> Help > Updates from FrameMaker's main menu to fire up the Adobe Update Manager (AUM) to download and install the update.
Want to download the update to deploy it to all your FrameMaker installations without downloading it on every machine? We understand this. That's why you can find all update packages for download also in the Adobe FrameMaker Support Center.
After the update, the FrameMaker version will be 22.214.171.1246. That's good to know, isn't it?
Found a bug? Want to suggest an improvement? Let us know!
You found a bug? You have an idea? You want to get something improved in the product?

NFL Says Officials Erred on Kansas City Chiefs' Missed Field Goal
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The NFL says referees erred in not penalizing the San Diego Chargers for an illegal formation on a missed 41-yard field goal attempt by Ryan Succop of the Kansas City Chiefs with four seconds left in regulation on Sunday.
Succop was wide right on the kick, and the Chargers went on to win 27-24 in overtime to claim the AFC's final playoff spot.
The NFL says in a statement released Monday that had the penalty been assessed by referee Bill Leavy's crew and the ball moved up 5 yards, it would have allowed the Chiefs to attempt a 36-yard field goal.
San Diego lined up with seven men on one side of the snapper. The rule says no more than six players can be on the line of scrimmage on either side of the snapper.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. -Sophomore Mary Rob Plunkett (Augusta, Ga.) of the No. 19 Georgia College & State University soccer team (13-1-4) was named GCSU Athlete of the Week, the sports information office announced today (Nov. 5). The award honors the top performance by a Bobcat during the week ending Nov. 2. This is the first such honor for Plunkett and the fourth for the Bobcat soccer team this season.
In addition to taking her first Georgia College Athlete of the Week award, Plunkett also earned her fifth Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Goalkeeper of the Week award for the season this week after making 15 saves in two games as Georgia College went 2-0 on the week. She began with seven saves in a 2-0 shutout win over North Georgia and then turned in a stellar game against Columbus State University, making eight saves over 110 minutes as the two teams fought to a 0-0 tie. The two shutouts give her a school-record eight on the season as she continues to lead the PBC with a 0.31 GAA, which is also sixth-best in the nation.
The Bobcats have now taken 10 PBC weekly honors and four Athlete of the Week honors this season. They are back in action Friday, Nov. 7 at Blachard Woods Parks in Evans, Ga. as they take on UNC Pembroke in the second round of the PBC Tournament beginning at 5:30 p.m.

But now I want to serve my typo3 project not from a 'global' domain or subdomain but from a sub folder like www.example.com/partner. I have two nginx servers. The first server gets a request www.example.com/partner and sends it 1:1 to nginx server two (where my typo3 project is located under /var/www/example), this is from the access log of server two To accomplish this I changed try files and added fastcgi_split_path_info like described here: http://wiki.nginx.org/WordPress#Non-root_try_files_to_URL_redirect but I keep getting 403 Forbidden. Here is the entire config: http://dpaste.com/739744/ Any ideas whats wrong? I did chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/www.example.com/web so this should not be the problem.

Tips for Getting into Nursing School
Cindy Mehallow | Monster Contributing Writer
LPNs: Show Patient-Care Skills
LPN applicants should demonstrate a solid foundation in nursing that's equally balanced between care and knowledge. "They have to be compassionate, and they have to be smart," says Maureen Creegan, EdD, RN, director and professor with the Division of Nursing at Dominican College in Orangeburg, New York, which has an advanced-standing program for LPNs.
Would You Pass the NCLEX?NCLEX Review: Part I
NCLEX Review: Part II
NCLEX Review: Part III
NCLEX Review: Part IV
NCLEX Vocab Review
NCLEX Math Review
Solid nursing skills are more important today than ever, with patients being discharged earlier and spending more time in home care. Candidates must demonstrate the communication skills needed to prepare patients for discharge and the managerial skills needed to coordinate aftercare with community nurses. Once admissions officers have screened a candidate's academic qualifications, they consider the caliber of his clinical experience; those with medical-surgical or experience in other hospital units have an edge.
Tip: Taking the National League for Nursing's Acceleration Challenge Exams (formerly the Mobility Profile II) can help LPNs receive advanced placement in RN or BSN programs. In New York state, LPNs can take the New York State PN-to-RN Transition Course to validate their knowledge and help determine advanced placement.
Career Changers: Communication and Teamwork
For career changers, accelerated nursing programs offer quick entry into nursing. Because these programs are brief – often 12 to 18 months – and intense, admission tends to be ultra-competitive. Accelerated programs often look for at least a 2.7 or 3.0 undergraduate GPA, Creegan says.
But the admissions process "is not simply number crunching," she adds. Dominican's accelerated BSN program is a second baccalaureate program that attracts professionals with degrees in economics, biomedical engineering and other sciences. In addition to good grades and the required science courses, these nontraditional candidates must demonstrate strong communication skills and the ability to interact effectively with others.
At Mount Carmel, admissions officers look for leadership experience in college or community organizations. And admissions officers for four-year nursing programs look for candidates with analytical skills and the ability to think on their feet.
Tip: Start a dialogue with the accelerated-program admissions officer or advisor at the schoolyou're considering. Learn what they're looking for and what you may need to do to obtain any missing qualifications.

Jillian Harris, star of the most recent fifth edition of "The Bachelorette," joined the design team of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" as a special guest designer during the episode entitled "Skaggs Family," which began shooting on Monday. The episode will air later this season on ABC.
"I have been an adoring fan of the series for years and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing team. I feel so blessed to be a part of this project with �Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.' Because of the constant love I receive from my family, friends, and now fans, I have always felt like my heart was just bursting with love and hope for others in need. I couldn't think of a better place or a better way to give back; to give love, support, and hope. I really feel like the world needs a lot of love right now, and to be a part of this and see others give their time and love so generously, it is truly inspiring," said Harris.
Said Anthony Dominici, executive producer: "We're thrilled to have Jillian with us as a special guest designer and be a part of the show. People know Jillian as a great personality, but they may not realize that she's an incredible designer too -- she's done restaurants and custom furniture for years. But now it's time for her to put those skills to the test and help Ty and the team build and decorate a home for a deserving family in just a week!"
In Harris' episode, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" will travel to Slaughterville, Oklahoma, to meet Brian and Audra Skaggs, whose son, Jhett, survived a heart transplant at just 10 months old. Although he's made incredible progress over the past two years, the poor condition of the family's moldy, rotting, termite-ridden home poses serious risks to Jhett's weakened immune system. In seven days, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" will build a safe and healthy home for Jhett, 2, his sister Merit, 5, and his parents, a home that will allow the family to focus on each other instead of their deteriorating surroundings.
Fan favorite Jillian Harris charmed America with her irrepressible humor and emotional honesty on ABC's "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette." Since finding her soul mate, Ed Swiderski, on "The Bachelorette," the happy couple enjoys cooking together, singing karaoke and spending time with family and friends. Now Jillian brings more than 10 years' experience in the hospitality and restaurant design industry to "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" as a special guest designer. A self proclaimed "polished redneck" who is not afraid to get her hands dirty or climb a ladder with heels on, Jillian carefully combines the frivolous with the sensible -- a brilliant mix between low brow and high brow. Her extensive background provides a unique perspective to both front-of-house and back-of-house operations as they relate to restaurant and interior design, and will be a valuable asset to the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" design team.
Outside of her work in television, Jillian continues to jet back to Canada to run her firm, Jillian Harris Design, where she is currently launching a furniture division featuring custom-made 18th century dining and lounge pieces. In her free time, Jillian is penning a book based on her infamous "hot dog
theory" and dating experience. While she and Ed enjoy taking in the fine architecture, culture and cuisine of Chicago, they also actively dedicate their energy to charities, from supporting no-kill animal shelters and recycling initiatives to sitting on the board of Big Brother Big Sisters.
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" is produced by Endemol USA, a division of Endemol Holding. It is executive-produced by Anthony Dominici. David Goldberg is Chairman, Endemol North America.

HANG TIME SOUTHWEST — As the Oklahoma City Thunder wrapped up morning shootaround a couple weeks ago in Dallas, Kevin Durant was asked about the one-legged fadeaway he borrowed from Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki and inserted into his own arsenal.
"I wanted to learn it because I'm 6-9 and Dirk used it so much on us in the playoffs and in the regular season," Durant said.
Durant went on to talk about how if Dirk could master the shot then so could he, and with his length how difficult the shot is to block and this and that. But, I barely heard any of it as I fixated on the first part of his sentence. It bounced around in my brain like Durant splitting the lane with a dribble drive and finishing it off with a tomahawk jam.
"I wanted to learn it because I'm 6-9…
"…because I'm 6-9…"
Wait, Kevin Durant is 6-what?
"How tall is he?" OKC coach Scott Brooks said rhetorically. "Before or after a haircut?"
It says it right here in black-and-white in the Oklahoma City Thunder media guide. And it says it here and in all of the previous Oklahoma City Thunder game notes since Durant's first game as a rookie with Seattle that he's 6-feet, 9-inches.
There's been players who measure darn close to 7-feet tall if not 7-feet tall that have preferred to go by 6-11. But 6-9? Please, it's insulting.
"Probably 6-11," said backup point guard Reggie Jackson, who is a legitimate 6-foot-3. "I don't want to boost his ego too much. He's not 6-9. I'll say 6-10 1/2, in shorts."
In shorts? Huh?
Reserve guard Eric Maynor was the only Thunder to peg Durant at 7-foot, then he looked over at 7-foot-3 center Hasheem Thabeet and said of Durant's mysterious height, "7-3?"
"Six-10," Thabeet said. "He's not as tall as me."
Center Kendrick Perkins looked over at Durant, who was listening to music through his headphones a few stalls down, smiled and said, "6-11," which would put Durant an inch above Perk's scowl when face-to-face.
Russell Westbrook agreed with Thabeet: 6-10.
So to review, we have Durant's official height listed at 6-9 — the one KD perpetuates — and then every inch thereafter up to the full 84.
What other player can span a tape measure like that and induce such heated debate in his own locker room?
OK, coach Brooks, care to give your estimation, before and/or after haircut?
"Six-10," Brooks said, hardly convincingly. "Ish."

Carrie Underwood Fan Undeterred by Lightning Strike, Hot Plate Burn, Seizure
Carrie Underwood, meet your most loyal fan! At Country Fest in Cadott, Wisc. over the weekend, Gage Stroening did all he could to see the Underwood -- and meet Randy Houser -- after being jolted by lightning and stepping on a red-hot hot plate. Following a brief seizure and visit to the emergency room, the Minnesota man was back at Country Fest.
The Eau Claire, Wisc. Leader-Telegram caught up with Stroening, who admits he was down, but not out, after being injured.
"It hurts to walk, but I've got pit passes to meet Randy Houser," he told the paper. "I don't have the energy like I did when I showed up, but I'm not missing these shows."
According to Stroening and witnesses, high winds knocked a neighboring Country Fest camper's tent into his grill, which was fired up to cook lunch. Stroening stepped on it, fell down, stood up and grabbed metal framing alongside his camper when lightning struck the camper.
"It knocked me off the stairs and I started to have a seizure," the country fan says. "I was down, but I pretty much woke up right after I was down."
A four-hour hospital stay only interrupted Stroening's fun in Cadott. He was photographed in a sling, which he was told he had to wear until he could fully use his arm. Other than that, Stroening was just told to take it easy. But he didn't listen.
"I had to see Carrie Underwood," he tells the newspaper. "I'm not missing these shows."
The incident happened on Saturday (June 28). The four-day festival featuring Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley and Florida Georgia Line closed on Sunday (June 29).
But Have Country Fans Really Gone Wild?

zratter necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 86 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Hi Designers,
We are a newly set-up online store focusing on contemporary and unique home products accessories and gift products. We will be importing the products from designers all over the world and sell the products online. Our store name is Shopless which stands for 2 meanings. First meaning is because we are an online e-commerce website without a physical brick-and-mortar shop. We have tried to look for a suitable location to set up a physical store but have been unable to find the perfect fit hence the reason to go to e-commerce first. The second meaning is that we always strive to sell the products we carry at a lesser price than the same product would have cost in a physical store. We are able to do this because we are an online business and can pass the savings to our customers.
We need the following items designed:
1. Logo (3 versions: colored, dark grey&white version and red version)
2. Letterhead in Word document – standard A4 ( which can be used to print invoices) – based on your designed logo
3. Business card (standard size – 89mm x 53mm) – based on your designed logo
The target market for this business is people in the range of 16 to 45 years old who can appreciate modern-designed products to the-otherwise-normal items. These groups include students and working class individuals.
Some logo designs that we like (but don't follow exactly as we are in different business):
For the logo design, there are 2 options: one is to play with the word Shopless and add graphic (like KOR Water) or you can play with the word 'Shopless' and incorporate the design in the word itself (like Bambuhome). We are very open to the designs and color schemes.
The MOST important is that the design should be classy, portrays a level of sophistication and depth in taste, contemporary, simple yet elegant. For the color schemes, any colors can be considered as long as the design doesn't look too 'noisy'/cheap. We also specifically want red variant to the original logo as Valentine/Chinese New Year is approaching and a darkgrey/white variant.
For the font for the word 'Shopless', we like the fonts that are used on the 2 companies' logo below:
The letterhead and business card should follow your original design of your logo. Feel free to ask if you have further queries or if my design brief is not clear enough.
Good luck.

#8752, Style I or Style II Bowl from Old Town
Part of the Mimbres Pottery Images Digital Database (MimPIDD) (DRAFT) project
Year: 2012
This Bowl is an example of "Style I, Style II" from Old Town (also known as Old Town Ruin) a Mimbres site in Luna County, southwestern New Mexico, near the southern end of the Mimbres River. Old Town is (along with Galaz) one of the largest Mimbres villages in the Mimbres Valley. It has hundreds of pit houses and surface rooms, with occupations dating from the Late Pithouse period through the Black Mountain Phase (ca. AD 550-1300). Old Town was very badly damaged by looters. Between 1989 and 2007 Darrell Creel (working through Texas A&M University and then the University of Texas, Austin, in collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management) did extensive research at the site, work that is being comprehensively reported (Creel 2006).

I want to make an adjustable ricker table and need some advice. I'm thinking of just making a frame with 15cm bolts coming straight up from the frame for every 10cm all the way around and then just put pvc (plexi glass) on to that. And then adjust the rocker with some nuts to fix them at a certain hight. Will that work?
Any other ideas?

#Hashtags: Liberaceón
In his 2011 video, "Liberaceón," Chris E. Vargas inserts radical, queer rhetoric into the arguably apolitical, high zest that was Wladziu Valentino Liberace's life. HBO's biopic about Liberace is headed to Cannes this month. Jacqueline Clay's article was originally published September 5, 2011. History, like most things, is subjective.

Ol' Dirty Bastard: Wu-Tang Clan Rapper Is The "Original Ratchet," Says U-God
"Dirty is the original ratchet," charges Wu-Tang Clan's U-God. "People don't even know that." But, the world will soon when the late and beloved Wu-Tang member is resurrected in a virtual performance at the 2013 Rock the Bells during his old hip-hop crew headlining set. The hologram-like visuals -- the late Eazy-E will also reappear during Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's set -- were re-imagined by Rock the Bells founder Chang Weisberg after being inspired by Tupac's posthumous appearance at Coachella in 2012.
"He taught me so much as person, as an entertainer, as a rhymer," says U-God remembering his lost pal ODB. "I ain't seen him in years. It's tough."
Rock the Bells, hip-hop's premier music festival, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. The fest's 2013 lineup includes Wu-Tang, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Jurassic 5, Black Hippy, Common, Tyler the Creator, Danny Brown, Tech N9ne and several others. The traveling fest kicks off Sept. 7 and 8 in San Bernardino, Calif. and stops in Mountain View, Calif; Washington D.C., and Rutherford, N.J. thereafter.

Editorial—Story Submissions, etc.
How do I submit a story? What about corrections or updates?
To submit stories, corrections, or updates, please use the submissions form. Submit corrections or updates just as if you were submitting any other news item, by using the web submission form. Please include a link to the story you're updating or correcting, and explain what the trouble is.
How do I Ask Slashdot?
Use the same submissions form; just make clear that you're asking a question. (A good way is to title your submission starting with "Ask Slashdot".)
Why did you change my submission?
We often edit submissions for reasons of spelling, grammar, or clarity, or to format them for visual consistency. We're happy when a story submission comes in with no changes needed, but most stories get at least a tweak or two. Sometimes we'll shorten a submission to emphasize its key points or points, remove links not relevant or central to the story posted, swap anchor text to make links easier to read, or substitute a better link for one that may be broken, expired or paywalled (or not the best link for some other reason). When two submissions offer different sources, we may combine them into a single story. Sometimes, too, we may fold links to relevant previous Slashdot stories into the text, or add these links separately. Though we do so in good faith, we apologize in advance and strive to correct any errors that this tweaking introduces.
Could you explain why my submission was declined?
This is harder than it sounds. We try to select the most interesting, timely, and relevant submissions, but can only run a fraction of those submitted; there are probably as many reasons for stories to get declined as there are stories. Think positive: read our submissions guidelines for some hints about increasing the chances that we'll run yours.
Can I submit a story anonymously?
Yes. If you log in, though, the editors can follow up with questions if for some reason we'd otherwise like to run your story but some crucial word or link is missing.
Where do I submit press releases?
We'd rather you didn't submit press releases—at least not ones that sound like press releases! But if you're going to submit one, please use the submission form.
Can I email a story submission?
In short, No. If you email one of the editors directly, the others won't see your submission. (And your mail might hit someone who's on vacation, sleeping, or has a downed network connection.) Assume that any emailed story submission is likely to go unread; please use the submission form instead.
I submitted a similar submission before the one you actually ran!
Sometimes we post a later submission rather than an earlier one. There are a variety of factors: the personality of the post, the quality of the submission, or even the quantity of stories already posted when your submission entered the queue—and sometimes, we just mess up.
I want to write a book review. What should I do?
Be sure to read our book review guidelines so you know what we're looking for. When you're ready to submit it, you can do so on our submissions page.

Report by Indigo Clarke on 14 September 2012.
Middle Eastern references abounded, most notably in the burka-like sheaths, Afghan scarves, filigree bustiers, opulent gold detailing and AK47 medallions that played on ideas of Middle Eastern luxury, excess and violence – it was definitely a tongue-in-cheek take on some serious issues, and a little darker than we've come to expect from the good-time loving Jeremy Scott.

Tim Schoonveld, assistant professor of kinesiology and co-director of athletics at Hope College, will present "BLESSED: A Life Shaped by Others" on Thursday, April 18, at 7 p.m. in the Maas Center auditorium through the "Last Lecture Series" organized by the college's Alcor chapter of the national Mortar Board honorary society.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Schoonveld has been a member of the Hope faculty since 2009. As co-director of athletics, he administers the college's 20 sports for men and women with co-director of athletics Eva Dean Folkert, who is also an assistant professor of kinesiology.
Schoonveld is a 1996 Hope graduate who majored in kinesiology with a minor in political science. Prior to attending Hope, he attended Calvin College, where he played basketball until his career as a collegiate player was ended by a series of knee injuries.
He received the M.A. in sports administration from Western Michigan University in 2005.
From 1997 until 2000 he was the men's junior varsity basketball coach at Hope while teaching in the Zeeland public schools system. He was employed with the Holland Christian schools from 2000 until joining the Hope faculty, serving as the girls' varsity basketball coach at Holland Christian High School from 2000 to 2009, and as assistant principal and athletic director of Holland Christian High School from 2006 to 2009.
He was named the Class B coach of the year by the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan in 2008 after his team advanced to the state tournament semi-finals. The 2009 team made it to the quarterfinals with a school-record 21 wins.
Schoonveld and his wife, Lisa, who is a 1997 Hope graduate, both grew up in the Holland/Zeeland area. They have four children: Elijah, Erika. Kenedy and Teagan.
The title of the lecture series, which the chapter initiated during the 2008-09 school year to feature members of the college's faculty and staff, is rhetorical. The lectures are not literally presented as the last that the speakers will deliver at Hope, but are meant to highlight the advice that they would most want to share if the event was indeed the final opportunity for them to address the college's students. The speakers are asked to reflect on their careers and lives, and to think deeply about what matters to them and about what wisdom they would like to impart.
The concept was inspired by the "Last Lecture" delivered at Carnegie Mellon University by Dr. Randy Pausch on Sept. 18, 2007. Pausch, a member of the Carnegie Mellon faculty who had terminal pancreatic cancer--a fact known at the time that he spoke--presented "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." He died on July 25, 2008, at age 47.
Mortar Board is a national honor society that recognizes college seniors for outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership and service, and provides opportunities for continued leadership development, promotes service to college and universities, and encourages lifelong contributions to the global community. Since its founding in 1918, the organization has grown from the four founding chapters to 229 collegiate chapters with nearly 250,000 initiated members across the nation.
The Alcor chapter has existed at Hope since the 1936-37 academic year, although it did not become part of the national Mortar Board organization until 1961. The chapter has received multiple awards at the Mortar Board National Conference during each of the past several years, including being named the top chapter during the national conference in July 2010. During the conference this past summer, the chapter received a "Golden Torch Award" and 17 "Project Excellence" awards.
The chapter also sponsored a "last chance talk" during the 1960s. The idea back then was to invite a faculty member to express his/her ideas under the hypothetical assumption that this would be the last opportunity to address the student body. The late Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra, professor of philosophy, delivered the first "last chance talk" in the spring of 1962.
The chapter will give away copies of the book "The Same Kind of Different as Me" by Ron Hall and Denver Moore to the first 100 in attendance, as well as copies of the "Last Lecture" to audience members following the address.
There will also be a freewill donation box, with all gifts supporting Mortar Board's many service projects.
The Maas Center is located at 264 Columbia Ave., on Columbia Avenue at 11th Street.

Shade Spotlight
Zoya Nail Polish | JulieanneJulieanne purple rocks
This is a gorgeous deep, glittery purple. Two coats looks great and wears very well for a dark color. Considering polish does not stick well to my fingernails, this stuff has lasted well with minimal wear on the nail tips after 3 days. This color will get alot of use!
Zoya Nail Polish | JulieanneI CANT GET THIS POLISH OFF
First of all the coloring is not even. It does look pretty and sparkly in the sun. The worst part is once a couple of my nails chipped I tried to take it off with nail polish remover and IT WON`T COME OFF! Most of the purple came off, but there is glitter and splotches of purple all over my nails. It looks horrible! I tried for 30 minutes to get it all off. Ugh!
Zoya Nail Polish | Julieannefantabulous

Zoya Nail Polish | Julieannegreat shade

Over July 4th weekend, Tod's invited Garance and myself to Capri for the opening of their Jackie Onassis photo exhibit.
As you can imagine, the images are beautiful, inspiring, and poetic; see Garance's post, here.
Mr. Della Valle and crew were incredible hosts and allowed us to see a side of Capri that a first-time visitor rarely experiences. For a location as famous as Capri to live up to decades of hype seemed impossible, and yet it was even more enchanting than I had expected.
This rugged landscape has been tamed by the luxurious Italian lifestyle: food, architecture, the highest standard of living. Capri will be high on my list of favorite locations, going forward.
A big big thanks to Diego, Andrea, Sarika, and Mariacristina.

In a perfect world, form feeds would be invisible. We'd just print and a new page would spit out just at the right time. Alas, I've come across someone who thought it a great idea to hard-code a form feed at the beginning of each print job. My initial challenge was to get rid of it. Why? Because a form feed at the start of a print file means a blank page before the real print job.
If you edit the file that gets sent to the printer, using the trusty vi editor, you see something like this:
This is the first line of page one.
And lots more on page one.
End of page one.
Welcome to page two.
End of page two.
Get the idea?
Strictly speaking, it's not caret (^) followed by capital L. It's a ctrl-L. You can get that by editing a file using vi and typing ctrl-v followed immediately by ctrl-l. (Hold the control key down, press the letter v, then hold the control key down and press the letter l).
The end user is, naturally enough, asking why every time they print the job starts with a blank page.
Unfortunately, we don't have access to the original code which produces this mysterious and unnecessary form feed, so it's a matter of stripping out the first form feed, or even the first line, of the print file. Easy enough:
Create a script which will be called by the sed command:
The script:
Which means:
1s On line 1 of the file, substitute ^L with nothing. (The / is a delimiter, so that sed knows where the pattern to search for ends and the pattern to replace it with begins).
So, there's the sed script. Let's call it sedscript
sed -f sedscript original_file | lp -d queue_name
But someone, somewhere along the line, allowed the user to print multiple copies of a file. And that was not by sending two copies of the file to the printer. No. It was by concatenating file one (which, you'll remember, starts with a ^L) and file two. The result is:
This is the first line of page one.
And lots more on page one.
End of page one.
Welcome to page two.
End of page two.
This is the first line of page one.
And lots more on page one.
End of page one.
Welcome to page two.
End of page two.
Or, if you like:
blank pagepage onepage two (prints on second sheet)blank pagepage onepage two
The Double Form Feed Challenge
So now the task at hand is not to strip the ^L from the top of the file (the blank page at the start of the print job), but from within the file.
We don't want to remove every ^L. We only want to remove ^L at the start of the file and when you open the file and see two lines like this:
In other words, we want to remove the second control-L.
Now, perhaps you'll suggest something like: "just use sed, or tr, or perl, or awk" and I'm happy to do any or all of them. But how? What do I search for and replace it with? I can run sed twice, for example:
cat original_file | sed -f sedscript | sed -f sedscript2 | lp -d queue_name
But what should sedscript2 look like?
It would be so nice to be able to say to the original program: "turn off initial form feed". It would be delightful to uncheck a box and not have that blank page spitting out the top and mysteriously before every copy when they've asked for multiple copies. But changing the original program don't seem to be an option, so we have to reverse engineer.
When I say "we", I mean "you".
But I'm going to make it easy for you. First, here's a link to the AIX documentation - the man pages - for your benefit and edification. There you'll find links to awk, sed, perl, tr, cut, cat, grep and any other command you might like to check out.
Secondly, I'm not going to moderate comments. Your ideas will be posted immediately. I suppose I could get enthusiastic and issue a certificate for the first person who cracks the double form feed challenge. I've certainly got enough blank paper for it.

The MegaMillions Lottery was a sponsored lottery in which 13 different states participated and a winning ticket hadn't been drawn in several months. Finally on Wednesday night, the MegaMillions jackpot was won – by five people in different states. Since the total was so large, each winner received over 70 million dollars. Each of the winners was interviewed shortly after discovering they held a winning ticket, revealing what each first planned to do with the sudden wealth. Determine the full name of each winner, what state each winner lived in, and what each planned to do first with their winnings.
1. Jeffrey didn't travel the world. Ms. Marsh didn't live in Massachusetts. Maria didn't buy a house.
2. The woman who quit working at her job didn't live in Montana. Ann Saint didn't pay off debts. The one whose last name was Price bought a house.
3. Ted's last name wasn't Cleft. Rhoda bought a new car.
4. The one who wanted to travel around the world lived in Mississippi.
5. The winner whose last name was Cleft lived in Missouri. Ted's last name wasn't Price.
6. The five winners were the one who lived in Michigan, Mr. Post, the woman who quit her job, Ann, and the one who lived in Massachusetts.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will visit Vilnius, Lithuania, from June 30 to July 1, to participate in the Community of Democracies 6th Ministerial. The Ministerial will bring together senior government officials, parliamentarians, NGOs, women and youth leaders, and the private sector to advance the shared goals of strengthening civil society and supporting emerging democracies. During her visit, the Secretary will participate in the "Women Enhancing Democracy" gathering of world leaders, held under the auspices of the Community of Democracies' working group on women's empowerment. She will also host a session of the Strategic Dialogue with Civil Society focused on challenges to the freedoms of speech and association.
During a press briefing on June 24, 2011, Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Michael Posner and Dr. Tomicah S. Tillemann, the Secretary's Senior Advisor for Civil Society and Emerging Democracies, previewed the upcoming Community of Democracies meeting in Vilnius and the Secretary's travel. Dr. Tilleman said:
"This trip will take place in the run-up to the Fourth of July, when Americans celebrate the importance of democracy. And it also occurs at a time when popular movements for democracy are reshaping the geopolitical landscape of countries, including Tunisia and Egypt. And against that backdrop, this is an opportunity to drive home the importance of democracy and civil society in our foreign policy, to recognize the renaissance of good activity that's occurring within the Community of Democracies, and to follow up on the ambitious civil society agenda that the Secretary announced in her landmark speech at last year's meeting of the Community of Democracies in Krakow.
"On Thursday the 30th, the Secretary will be in Budapest, where she will participate in the inauguration of the Lantos Institute. The Lantos Institute was created to advance human rights, democracy, and transatlantic relations, and continue work on these important issues that were championed by Hungarian-American Congressman and Holocaust survivor Tom Lantos. The institute was created with the support of all of Hungary's mainstream political parties, and its opening is an opportunity to reinforce our commitment to pluralism and the values for which the institute will fight. The institute will be co-chaired by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who will also be attending the opening. And the Secretary, on Thursday morning following the inauguration of the institute, will also hold a series of bilateral meetings with Hungarian leadership and consultations with members of Hungary's civil society.
"We'll then go to Vilnius that afternoon, and the Vilnius ministerial of the Community of Democracies provides a case study in how Secretary Clinton's vision for diplomacy and 21st century statecraft is reshaping the way that countries collaborate with each other. The meeting will bring together different actors in democracy, including senior government leaders, civil society representatives, women, parliamentarians, youth, and the private sector around the shared goals of advancing civil society and supporting emerging democracies. During the last two years, the Community of Democracies has undergone a transformation from a forum where democracies could get together into a platform where democracies are getting things done. And that shift from an aspirational body to an operational platform has occurred with strong support from Secretary Clinton and at a time when there is a real need for international backing for civil society and newly emerging democracies."
Assistant Secretary Posner added, "...Last July, in Krakow, the Secretary spoke about the embattled NGO environment where, increasingly, governments are restricting the space for civil society nongovernmental organizations to function. In the last several years, at least 50 governments have enacted new laws or regulations which make it more difficult for NGOs to operate. So coming out of that speech, which sort of set the tone, we've really done three things in the last year: One is to initiate the civil society dialogue, which happened here earlier this year. The Secretary will be meeting with a group of NGO activists in Vilnius to discuss the same issues -- what are the constraints, what are the challenges they face, how can we be helpful in creating a more open environment for them to operate?
"Secondly, we announced last year the establishment of a fund, a $1 million fund called the Lifeline, the Embattled NGO Assistance Fund. So we're putting our money where our mouth is, and we're saying we're going to actually provide financial support for advocacy initiatives to challenge these restrictions, but also support for individual NGOs when they get in trouble -- legal assistance, trial observation, and the like. We've also -- we're in good company. We've now got 12 other governments that are supporting the Lifeline Fund: Australia, Benin, Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Sweden. So 12 other governments have matched our $1 million and the fund is now going to be getting underway. We've identified seven international NGOs to help us actually implement this. So that's the second deliverable from last year.
"And then the third thing is that the Secretary has been engaged in individual countries, like Cambodia, where governments have initiated new restrictions. This is an ongoing problem. In some respects, governments are learning bad behavior from one another, and the Secretary, as a diplomatic matter, has stepped up and really made this a key priority. So those will be the things we'll be discussing in Vilnius."
