Forms Jobs
The City of Winston-Salem continues to strive to improve conditions for pedestrians throughout the city. Walking is important for exercise and is an excellent mode of transportation. Sidewalks are being added/repaired through the Department of Transportation's Sidewalk Program.
Neighborhoods and citizens may submit requests for sidewalks. Any requests are reviewed and prioritized according to a point system. Sidewalks are constructed as funds are available according to the priority of the project.
The City of Winston-Salem's Street Division is responsible for sidewalk repair, replacement and maintenance. In addition, the city´s Engineering Division uses bond funds, when appropriated, to rehabilitate the city´s sidewalks by contracting replacement of damaged sidewalks or constructing new sidewalks. Property owners are responsible for keeping sidewalks clean and free of debris or obstructions.
For any questions or to report problems, please contact Michael Doub, Streets Supervisor at
or by e-mail.
To obtain a sidewalk permit, please contact Chad Aldridge at
or by email.
Winston-Salem has many excellent greenways and parks that offer safe and peaceful places for walking. Greenways are linear parks that can be used for transportation as well as recreation. And, as the number of greenways grows, citizens will find better connectivity to schools, parks, and shopping. The Recreation and Parks Department's Greenways section has a map of all our greenways, as well as links to more information about each one.
This 1.1-mile unpaved figure-eight course, popular with walkers and runners, also includes physical activity stations. Open from dawn to dusk, it is accessible from Silas Creek Parkway (near Yorkshire Road) or from Kirklees Road.

New in 8.1: Moore Improved User Notes
Earlier this year, we did a training seminar at Moore Theological College in Sydney, Australia. Moore college focuses a great deal of attention on teaching a particular exegetical method in which the students create a block diagram of each passage, write their own exegetical comments on the passage, and create their own working translation. Those who use Accordance generally do this by creating three sets of user notes, which they'll conveniently view in parallel panes alongside the passage.
Yet while it is convenient to view all these user notes files in parallel panes, it has not been convenient to edit them—a fact which the students at Moore made very clear. The inconvenience stems from the fact that Accordance does not let you edit the user notes directly. For both programmatic and interface reasons, Accordance requires you to open a separate Edit window when editing user notes. For most users, who may only be viewing one set of notes at a time, opening a separate edit window is not necessarily a major hindrance, but for the folks at Moore, whose screens are taken up with the text in parallel with three notes panes, keeping three additional Edit windows open proved to be a frustrating challenge.
Several Moore students took the time to describe in detail their exegetical method and the reason they were so insistent about wanting to avoid opening three extra windows. While Accordance 8.1 does not do away with the Edit window, it does offer a more convenient way to edit your user notes in place: simply click in a user notes pane and start typing.
When you do, an Edit window will appear directly above the user notes pane without obscuring anything else on screen. When you're done making changes, simply hit the Enter key to get rid of the Edit window and return to viewing the notes pane.
This change to the placement and dismissal of the Edit window should greatly improve the workflow of those who employ user notes to create running commentaries as they study the text. By clicking in the note pane and typing even just a space, the Edit window will appear. By option-clicking the up or down arrow buttons in the Edit window, you can add new notes on the next or preceding verses. And when you're ready to get rid of the Edit window, you need only hit Enter to save and view your changes.
By the way, if you prefer to work with a larger Edit window placed off to the side somewhere, simply use command-U to open the Edit window instead of typing directly. Your default Edit window location will be used when you do.
The folks at Moore College are enthusiastic users who are really pushing the user notes feature, and we know 8.1 hasn't delivered everything they'd like. Still, we hope these improvements will help facilitate their exegetical method, and that they will make life easier for other Accordance users as well.

Normal 0 Eight Video Music Award nominations aren't enough to knock the chip off Eminem's shoulder.
The rapper, whose "Recovery" album has held the No. 1spot on the Billboard 200 chart for five straight weeks, vowed not to "be nice about it" when he shows up at MTV's 2010 VMAs next month.
"Apparently, MTV doesn't care that I have two massive stadium shows on the other side of the country the day after the VMAs," said Eminem. "F me, right?!?!"
Eminem's "Not Afraid" video is up for "Video of the Year" and "Best Male Video." He is also competing against himself in the "Best Hip-Hop Video" category with "Not Afraid" and "Forever," a collaboration he did with Lil Wayne, Kanye West, and Drake. In all, Eminem got more nominations than any other male artists, yet he still feels snubbed.
U.S. & World
"I mean, I'll be there but don't expect me to be nice about it," he groused.
Lady Gaga is also going head-to-head with Eminem for the "Video of the Year" with her "Bad Romance" and "Telephone" videos. It's the first time a female artist has been nominated for two different videos in this category. She also made history with her 13 overall nominations, the most ever received by any artist in a single year.
Gaga, unlike Eminem, did not feel short-changed.
"I'm so honored for all the little monsters and self-professed freaks of the universe, to have more VMA nominations in a single year than any artist in MTV history," she said. "Ironically, I'm even more proud it's an unlucky number: 13."
The show will air live from Los Angeles on September 12.

Could The RIAA Stop Piracy By Coming Up With A More Compelling Story?
from the maybe-that-and-a-memory-eraser-ray deptGregSJ points us to an analysis of a recent paper on "the rhetoric of copyright policy." The original paper is actually called Meh. The Irrelevance of Copyright in the Public Mind. The original is a worthwhile read (as is the analysis), but the basic point is that people continue to ignore copyright law because they simply don't "believe" the story of "harm" that the copyright holders are spinning. This actually echoes Rep. Robert Wexler's recent remarks to the World Copyright Summit, where it's all about "the story."
The paper argues that some of the fault is with the media who has portrayed these battles over copyright "as a land grab that benefited only copyright holders." Hmm. Perhaps that's because it's, I don't know... true? Also, it's worth pointing out that it isn't completely true that the media portrays the copyright battles in this manner. The media has often been quite supportive of copyright expansionist policies -- after all, many of the media's current business models rely somewhat on copyright as well.
Still, even if it is true, the paper argues that the RIAA/MPAA/BSA just needs to come up with a good story (which doesn't need to be true!) to convince people of the harm of unauthorized downloading. As a part of that, they suggest that copyright maximalists have to become trustworthy. Try to read the following without cracking up (I couldn't):
To be successful, copyright holders and legislators must consider the construction of ethos and credibility. This is done not only through the reputation that one gains, but also through the discourse itself. Legislators and copyright holders must portray themselves as trustworthy. More specifically, the recording industry must appear to be treating artists and fans fairly, and legislators must appear to be acting in the public interest.... Legislators and copyright holders must maintain a stance that encourages the public to obey copyright laws. When legislators consider altering copyright terms, the public domain is necessarily affected, and great consideration must be given to how the public will react to the proposed action. When the public sees little incentive to honor the ostensibly limited protection granted under copyright law, copyright law will increasingly become unenforceable. However, if the public is provided with compelling reasons why term limits are in the public interest, they may be more likely to support these terms. Likewise, copyright holders must make more compelling arguments concerning why the public should obey copyright law. If the people have a compelling narrative to follow, they will do so--whether it is true or not. The challenge, then, is not to craft better law; the challenge is to craft better rhetoric.The problem, of course, is that this doesn't pass the laugh test. It's pretty difficult to find anyone who believes that the copyright holders and legislators are doing anything in the public interest. And, I guess if it were possible to come up with rhetoric that made the opposite case, then perhaps people would change their actions. I just question how they could come up with such a story when all of the evidence points to the contrary.
Beyond that, let's face it, the RIAA actually has controlled the "story" for ages. It has convinced people it represents artists' interests, even though it does not. It's convinced people that potential copyright infringement is "stealing" or "piracy" when it's quite a different beast altogether. They've convinced people that copyright is the only way to make money off of content. The problem is that when anyone scratches the surface, they realize quite quickly, that none of this makes any sense at all.

Flu season has arrived and now is the time to get your flu vaccine. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that everyone over the age of six months receive a flu vaccine each year. Join the Fairfax County Health Department Deputy Director for Medical Services Dr. Raja'a Satouri for an Ask Fairfax! chat on Friday, Oct. 25 at 11 a.m. to discuss the flu, vaccinations and winter health. For more information about the flu, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/flu
Raja Satouri
Hello and welcome everyone. I'm very happy to participate in today's online chat about influenza. Flu is an important topic and impacts the entire community, so I'm happy to answer any questions that you have about flu and flu vaccine.
Anonymous User
Is there an difference between the shot and inhaler version? Is one recommended over the other?
Raja Satouri
CDC does not recommend one flu vaccine over the other. The important thing is to get a flu vaccine every year. Flu vaccines can be given in two ways: as a shot or nasal spray. The flu shot is an inactivated vaccine that is made with killed influenza virus. The nasal spray flu vaccine is made with live, weakened influenza viruses. The age indications for the different flu shots vary. The nasal spray vaccine is approved for use in most healthy people 2 through 49 years of age who are not pregnant. All nasal spray flu vaccine for the 2013-2014 season will be made to protect against four flu viruses (quadrivalent flu vaccine).

I was going to get my daughter a flu shots but the guy at the pharmacy wouldn't give it to her because she was feeling sick. Is that right? Do I still need to get her a shot?
Raja Satouri
There is no problem with getting a flu shot when you have a minor cold. However, there are some people who should not get a flu vaccine without first consulting a physician. These include people who have a moderate-to-severe illness with or without a fever. But, once you recover, you should get vaccinated.
Does Fairfax County have free flu shots?
Raja Satouri
The Health Department offers flu vaccine for $25. Some people may be eligible for free flu vaccine. Contact one of the Health Department's District Offices for more information about whether you're eligible: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/hd/hdclinicsite.htm
Why does everyone tell me that I need to get the shot EVERY year? I don't know of any other shots that I need ot get every year.
Raja Satouri
Flu viruses change every year. Each year the world's health experts assess the types of viruses that are circulating and develop flu vaccine based on the most common viruses that are most likely to affect people. Over time, the body's immunity to flu viruses declines. So, getting vaccinated each year provides the best protection against influenza throughout flu season.
Randy P
I'm 9 weeks pregnant and am worried that getting a flu shot will harm the fetus this early in its development. Should I get one?
Raja Satouri
Yes. The seasonal flu shot has been given safely to millions of pregnant women over many years. Flu shots have not been shown to cause harm to pregnant women or their babies. There are lots of reasons to get a flu shot if you are pregnant. Getting a flu shot protects pregnant women from the flu. Studies also have shown that getting a flu shot while you are pregnant can decrease your baby's risk of getting the flu for up to 6 months after birth. Pregnant women are more likely to become severely ill with the flu than women who are not pregnant; pregnant women with the flu have a greater chance for serious problems for their unborn baby, including premature labor and delivery; and when you get a flu shot, you and your baby (after birth) get the flu less often.
I know everyone says you can't get the flu from the flu shot. Right? But the first time I ever got the flu shot was like two years ago and I got the flu a week later!!! My parents want me to get it again this year but I don't want to get sick again! Help!!
Raja Satouri
The flu vaccine cannot give you the flu. The most common side effects from a flu shot are a sore arm and maybe a low fever or achiness. The nasal spray flu vaccine might cause congestion, runny nose, sore throat, or cough. If you do experience them at all, these side effects are mild and short-lived. Getting sick shortly after receive a flu vaccine is a coincidence. The flu vaccine takes about two weeks to work after receiving it so it is possible to get an illness before you body builds up enough protection from the vaccine. You did not get sick from the vaccine.
I saw that there is both trivalen and quadrivalent flu shots - which one should I get?
Raja Satouri
CDC does not recommend one flu vaccine over the other. The important thing is to get a flu vaccine every year. Traditional flu vaccines made to protect against three different flu viruses (called "trivalent" vaccines) will be available this season. In addition, this season, flu vaccines made to protect against the same three flu viruses plus and addition influenza B virus (called "quadrivalent" vaccines) also will be available. By adding another B virus to the vaccine, quadrivalent vaccines may give broader protection. Both types of vaccine are widely available in our community.
Good morning.
I had an allergy to raw eggs when I was a kid. I'd get really sick and throw up. I'm now 27. Can I still get the flu shot? I haven't had a reaction since I was young.
Raja Satouri
People who have ever had a severe allergic reaction to eggs may be advised not to get vaccinated. People who have had a mild reaction to egg, that is, one which only involved hives, may receive a flu shot with additional precautions. Make sure your health care provider knows about any allergic reactions. Most, but not all, types of flu vaccine contain small amount of egg. In addition, new this year, an egg-free flu shot is available for people 18 through 49 years of age. This can be used for people who had any severity of egg allergy in the past.
Anonymous User
I don't have health insurance. Can I get a free flu shot somewhere
Raja Satouri
While the Health Department offers flu vaccine for $25, you may be eligible for free flu vaccine. Contact one of the Health Department's District Offices for more information about whether you're eligible: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/hd/hdclinicsite.htm

My girlfriend just got her flu shot for work. She said there's a new shot now that doesn't go as deep into the skin and was easier. Is there a new type of flu shot this year? I hate needles.
Raja Satouri
Yes, the intradermal flu vaccine is a shot that is injected into the skin instead of the muscle. The intradermal shot uses a much smaller needle than the regular flu shot. The intradermal flu vaccine works in the body in the same way as a regular flu shot. In addition, people 2 to 49 years of age who are healthy and not pregnant can receive the nasal spray flu vaccine.
What is the best medicine that I can give my 2 year old if he gets a cold or the flu?
Raja Satouri
Consult a doctor if your child develops a fever (100°F. orally, or 102°F. rectally) and chills, cough, sore throat, headache, or muscle aches. Treatment may be available for flu if started early enough. These anti-flu medicines can be given to children at a very young age. You should follow the doctor's directions for taking the prescribed medication. There are several over-the-counter medicine for cold and flu symptoms. You should check with doctor or pharmacist for guidance.
The last time I got a flu shot I got sick! I'm not getting another one.
Raja Satouri
The flu vaccine did not give you the flu. Getting sick shortly after receive a flu vaccine is a coincidence. The flu vaccine takes about two weeks to work after receiving it so it is possible to get an illness before you body builds up enough protection from the vaccine.
Last year they said on the news that the flu shot was only 60% effective. If that's true, how is a flu shot the best wasy to prevent the flu?
Raja Satouri
The flu vaccine is the best way to protect against the flu. The effectiveness of flu vaccine can range widely from season to season. The vaccine's effectiveness also can vary depending on who is being vaccinated. At least two factors play an important role in determining the likelihood that flu vaccine will protect a person from flu illness: 1) characteristics of the person being vaccinated (such as their age and health), and 2) the similarity or "match" between the flu viruses the flu vaccine is designed to protect against and the flu viruses spreading in the community. I'd encourage you to learn more about the effectives of flu vaccine by visiting the CDC's website: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/vaccineeffect.htm
Raja Satouri
Thank you all very much for your questions. I have enjoyed today's online chat. We have now run out of time, but I'd like to conclude by saying that I hope everyone will take time to get a flu vaccine this season and remember to take these simple steps that will protect yourself, your family and the whole community: wash their hands properly and frequently, cover their coughs and sneezes with a tissue or the sleeve of his or her shirt, and stay home when sick. Remember, you can learn more about the flu and flu vaccine on our website, www.fairfaxcounty.gov/flu and more about the simple steps you can take to prevent here: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/hd/flu/flu_prevention.htm

FAU Game 11
Week 14
The Award Finalists were announced, and I'm used to having people in for the finalist. Looking through the lists, I wasn't really sure what I'd see seeing as this year our group has played great, but they aren't top 10 contenders in any measure except for how they've played together as a team. These are the finalists:
2013 Finalists:
Paul "Bear" Bryant Finalist: Coach Geno Demarco (Wasn't really a surprise leading a 3 win team to an undefeated start)
Heisman Trophy: QB Leslie Varela (Alright this was a little surprising that he'd even be in the running…)
Ray Guy: P Adam Barton
Lou Groza: K Shane Dunlap
John Mackey: TE Jess Peterson
Fred Biletnikoff: WR Craig Olsen
Davey O'Brien: QB Leslie Varela
Now of course they haven't officially won anything yet, they are just in the running but it's impressive knowing how my guys have ranked in relations to others. We also just got ranked into the Top 25 Media Poll at #22. We can't get distracted with potential awards right now though, we still have games left…
DE Kurt Wood, FB Bryan Nelson, RB John Smith all recovered over our bye week completely, while OT Nelson still is battling with his stomach, C Thompson is dealing with his knee that is tweaked, and DE Curry is fighting through his twisted ankle he suffered during practice this week. OT Nelson and C Thompson both feel they can play, so we are going to let them. DE Curry however we want to sit out so his ankle can fully heal so DE Beltran and DE Wood will be starting this week. This will be a big week for us, as we face our rivals…
(#22) Florida Atlantic (10-0) vs. (7-3) Florida International
(1st Quarter)
- 98 yard kick return to start the game off for FAU gets the game off started nicely. RB John Smith runs the rest of the way in for a touchdown. 7-0, FAU.

- FIU forces RB Smith to fumble and they return it for a touchdown. 14-7 FIU.
- QB Varela finds TE Peterson in the end zone for a touchdown to tie the game again, 14-14!
(2nd Quarter)
- 43 yard field goal attempt by FIU is missed!

- :38 left and FIU punts the ball while we use our first time out. We return it to the FIU 38 with 0:32 left on the clock. An incomplete pass, and it's 2nd down on the 38 with 0:25 left on the clock. 15 yard pass to TE Peterson moves us up to the 23, with 0:12 left on the clock and we use our 2nd time out. We decide to just go for the 41 yard field goal, but K Dunlap misses it! FIU takes a knee to end the half.
(3rd Quarter)
- FIU scored a touchdown. 21-21.
- QB Varela finds WR Olsen for a TD to take the lead again. 28-21, FAU.
(4th Quarter)

Florida Atlantic defeats Florida International, 49 to 28.
FAU Game 12
Week 15
OT Kenneth Brandon joined the campus today to check us out, just in time for our final game of the regular season against Akron! C Thompson fully recovered from his knee injury, while OT Nelson is almost completely healed with his stomach issues. DE Curry is fighting through his ankle pain while ILB May had a severe concussion. We brought OT Nelson back in at right tackle for this game, while Thompson is going to take the lead snaps under center. With the concussion fear for ILB May, we don't want him to push it and not be able to play again should something happen so we're benching him this week and letting JR ILB Jimmy Gibson start at RILB… this should be his chance to impress. DE Beltran and DE Weir are just going to keep their starting positions, regardless of DE Curry doing better, since Curry still isn't 100%.
We've moved up to #14 in the rankings system and ESPN, Sports Center, Bright house Networks, and a bunch of other television networks have been trying to reach us for comment now that everyone is talking about us, but we've been very careful not to say anything to anyone. We just have to focus on football right now, we don't have time to play media.
(1st Quarter)
- After a sack on the first play of the game, the second play resulted in an interception by SS Ruben Ingram from the Akron QB!
- K Dunlap knocks in a field goal to take the early lead for FAU, 3-0.
- RB Smith runs it in at the 2 to extend the lead. 10-0, FAU.
-FS Masterson makes a huge hit for us to make them fumble, and it's recovered by SS Ingram!
- QB Varela fires a pass out to RB Smith for a touchdown! 17-0 FAU.
(2nd Quarter)
- QB Varela was in trouble and runs it in for a touchdown himself! 24-0 FAU!
- Akron scored a touchdown to put points on the board. 24-7 FAU.
- CB Coleman with an interception against the Akron QB!
- 3rd and 33 situation on our own side of the field, and QB Varela finds WR Richardson for 41! 0:51 left on the clock and FAU uses their first timeout. 1st and 10, QB Varela finds TE Peterson for 6. 2nd and 4, 0:45 and the clock is running, incomplete pass intended to WR Olsen stops the clock at 0:32. 3rd and 4, fake handoff and the defense bites, quick pitch to RB Smith for 11 yards! FAU calls their second timeout with 0:24 left on the clock. It's 1st and Goal on the 8 yard line, QB Varela scrambles to the outside and takes off getting stopped just 1 yard short of the goal line! 2nd and Goal on the 1 yard line, 0:17 left in play and the clock is running! K Dunlap walks out onto the field, and knocks in the 19 yard field goal to waste the time out of the half. 27-7 FAU.
(3rd Quarter)
- K Dunlap misses a 40 yard field goal attempt.
- K Dunlap makes up for the missed kick with a 48 yard field goal. 30-7 FAU.
(4th Quarter)
- QB Varela finds WR Olsen in the end zone for a TD! 37-7 FAU.
- K Dunlap misses the 43 yard field goal attempt.
- K Dunlap misses the 45 yard field goal attempt.
- Akron with another touchdown pass. 37-14 FAU.
- Akron tries for an onside kick but FAU holds onto it, then takes a knee to end the game.
Florida Atlantic defeats Akron, 37-14.
Conference Championships
2013 Ray Guy Award was given to our own Punter Adam Barton. Also during this week, we were moved up to #8 in the Media Poll! During the conference championships we saw:
ACC Championship: (#1) Virginia Tech (10-1) vs. (9-2) Maryland (#7)
Big Twelve Championship: (#3) Oklahoma (11-1) vs. (9-2) Colorado (#5)
Conference USA Championship: Miami (OH) (8-3) vs. (8-4) East Carolina
Mid-American Championship: Western Michigan (8-3) vs. (7-5) Kent State
Southeastern Championship: (#10) LSU (8-3) vs. (7-4) Florida
Virginia Tech took it to Maryland hard, 37-20 to take the ACC Championship.
Colorado upset Oklahoma, 30-22 when Colorado came back from behind a 22-9 score in the 4th quarter to score 21 points to win the Big Twelve Championship.
Miami (OH) went back and forth with East Carolina, finally sealing their win with a touchdown late in the 4th quarter to win the Conference USA Championship.
Kent State defeated Western Michigan convincingly in a 24-17 win for the Mid-American Championship.
LSU went down early in the first, but then came back and since never looked like they were in danger of losing to Florida to win the Southeastern Championship.
We got invited to a Bowl I'm very familiar with, the New Orleans Bowl to face Central Florida. OG Clark has a strained neck, ILB May has a severe concussion still, and FS Masterson has a torn tendon in his forearm. All three seem willing to go, but FS Peter Green is taking Masterson's place, ILB Jimmy Gibson is taking May's place, and OG James Bauer is taking Clark's place.
(#8) Florida Atlantic (12-0) vs. (6-5) Central Florida
(1st Quarter)
- UCF kicks a field goal to take the first lead of the game. 3-0 UCF.
- FAU misses a 45 yard field goal.
(2nd Quarter)
- QB Varela finds WR Olsen in the end zone for a touchdown! 7-3 FAU.
- UCF responds back with a touchdown of their own. 10-7 UCF.
- K Shane Dunlap makes a 44 yard field goal to tie the game, 10-10.
(3rd Quarter)
- K Dunlap makes a 40 yard field goal to take the lead! 13-10 FAU!
- We fumble a punt return giving them really good position.
- Luckily we limited them to only a field goal. 13-13, tie game.
(4th Quarter)
- Interception by SS Ruben Ingram!
- K Dunlap kicks a 23 yard field goal to take the lead again with 5:48 left on the clock. 16-13 FAU!
- We force a turnover but fumble the ball on the punt return yet again, luckily this time our own team recovers it.
- 84 yard pass is a touchdown for UCF with 2:20 left on the clock! 20-16 UCF.
1:41 left in the game, 1st and 10 on our own 40. Fake handoff by QB Varela and the pass finds TE Peterson for 20 yards. 1st and 10 on UCF's 40, with 1:19 left on the clock. Two back to back incomplete passes to WR Jorge Stpierre puts us in a 3rd and 10 on their 40 yard line, with 0:46 left to play. It looks like QB Varela is going to be sacked on the play when he takes off down the field himself and gains 20 yards! 1st and 10 on the UCF 20, 0:40 left on the clock. Incomplete pass to TE Peterson. 2nd and 10, 0:24 left on the clock and it's running. QB Varela looks, and finds FB Bryan Nelson in the end zone and Nelson makes the grab! Touchdown! After the extra point, with 0:14 left on the clock, the score is 23-20 FAU.
High kickoff into the end zone for no return gives them the ball at their own 20, with 0:07 seconds left on the clock. The QB finds their WR taking off down the sidelines, beaten his man, and for 80 yards as the last seconds fade, they connect and score a touchdown. SS J Copeland got beat and allowed the score. 27-20 UCF at the literal, last second.
Central Florida defeats Florida Atlantic, 27-23 to win the New Orleans Bowl.
Besides our loss, the main bowl games this year are:
Orange Bowl: (#6) Syracuse (11-0) vs. (9-2) Wisconsin (#7)
Sugar Bowl: (#2) California (9-2) vs. (9-3) LSU (#9)
Fiesta Bowl: (#5) Oklahoma (11-2) vs. (9-2) Michigan (#3)
Rose Bowl (Championship): (#1) Virginia Tech (11-1) vs. (10-2) Colorado (#4)
In the Orange Bowl, Syracuse defeated Wisconsin, 39-34.
In the Sugar Bowl, California defeated LSU, 41-24.
In the Fiesta Bowl, Oklahoma upset Michigan, 20-17.
In the Rose Bowl, Colorado upset Virginia Tech, 38-19 to become the 2013 NCAA Champion.
I got a couple of job offers by about 8 different schools, but I didn't even open their letters. I had a mission with this new team of mine, and I wasn't about to give up on them. Meanwhile Bowling Green moved to the Conference USA conference while UTEP Miners dropped to the Mid-American conference. In other news, the Texas Christian Horned Frogs moved to the Big Twelve conference, while the Kansas Jayhawks were demoted to the Mountain West conference. The 3-8 South Carolina under Coach Schroeder went to 5-6 in 2013, while Coach Tyler Wall went unemployed for the remainder of 2013.
Coach Scott Guerra (Our Special Teams Coach) I decided to release after how this season went, and hired another well known special teams coach Lloyd Thompson to take over for us. Defensive Coach Sherman and Offensive Coach Chadwick I decided to keep on board for this next year. I was able to look over and review my own stats and I've noticed in the Post-Season I have gone 3-3. Not my most proud statistic.
Our transfer window came and gone, and while they were a couple people interested in coming to play for us for a scholarship, there wasn't anybody I was interested in giving a shot this year. I'd rather take my chances in the recruiting during the off season. Speaking of recruiting, our current targets we already have note of going in:
WR H. Olsen is playing for Big Rapids (3) competitive level school in Michigan. So far he's racked up 42 receptions, for 637 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 12 pass deflections on defense. He's very interested in our school.
WR S. Rosado is playing for Kingstree (3) in South Carolina. He has 40 receptions, for 520 yards, 5 touchdowns, 12 pass deflections and 1 interception on defense. He's extremely interested in coming to our school.
OLB S. Livingston is playing for St. Thomas Aquinas (1) in Florida. He has 48 tackles, 4 sacks, 4 tackles for loss, 332 rushing yards, and he's averaging 3.7 yards per carry. He's extremely interested in coming to our school.
OG D. Benoit is playing for Chapman (3) in South Carolina. He has no stats available, but he is 6'6, 265 lbs and he's extremely interested in playing for us.
SS Daniel Chow is playing for Lakeside Highschool (4) in Idaho. He has 38 tackles, 0 pass deflections, and 3 interceptions. He's extremely interested in playing for us.
So 2 wide outs, an outside line backer, offensive guard, and a strong safety all who we believe could benefit our program to some degree. Time to get the recruiting window underway…

Wednesday's forecast: Soggy Northwest and Southeast
A wet Wednesday is forecast for the Pacific Northwest, with showers expected all the way from Washington to northern California. Some snow will also fly in the northern Rockies and Cascades.
Snow is also likely in parts of the central Plains and Ohio Valley, while freezing rain is forecast in the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas.
The Southeast is another region that will see a damp, showery day, from the Gulf Coast to the Carolina coast.
YOUR TAKE:Share your weather photos
Temperatures will remain chilly in the north-central and northeastern U.S., but not quite as bitterly cold as they were on Tuesday.

Special Tribunal for Lebanon Exended
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has extended the mandate by another three years of the United Nations-backed independent tribunal set up to try suspects in the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Hariri.
Mr. Ban extended the mandate of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), which is based in The Hague in the Netherlands, by three years from 1 March this year, according to information released by Mr. Ban's spokesperson. Mr. Hariri and 22 others were killed on 14 February 2005 after a massive car bomb exploded as his motorcade passed through central Beirut.
Salim Jamil Ayyash, Mustafa Amine Badreddine, Hussein Hassan Oneissi and Assad Hassan Sabra, all Lebanese nationals, have been indicted over the killing. They will be tried in absentia after the STL determined earlier this month that all reasonable attempts had been made to inform the four men of the charges they face and to bring them before the court.
Mr. Ban's spokesperson noted that the Secretary-General reaffirms the UN's commitment to support the efforts of the STL to uncover the truth behind the bombing so as to bring those responsible to justice and to send a message that impunity for such major crimes will not be tolerated. The tribunal is an independent court created at the request of the Lebanese Government, with a mandate issued by the Security Council.

App Review: Stay by Anthropophagy
September 17, 2009 by Dorothy
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Entertainment, Games
Stay by Anthropophagy is a challenging game of physics and balance. In each level, there is a red shape on a wobbly beam. Your job is to keep the shape on the beam while adding shapes on either side to keep it balanced. See how long you can keep the shape on the beam. Time does not start until you drop the first shape. It sounds easy, but is actually much harder than you think.
There are three levels of game play. They are all virtually the same. The only difference that I could find is that the shape that you have to keep on the beam is different. Easy mode features a triangle. With the large, flat sides, it is relatively easy to keep in place. In medium levels, you must keep a star on the beam, and in hard levels, it is a circle. The circle begins to roll around with the slightest tip of the beam. The hard levels are just that; hard. These shapes are not the only variable in the game, though.
The shapes that you drop on the beam are different colors, and each color behaves differently. Some blocks explode, expand, or shrink after they are dropped. They can cause other blocks to move or even change the size of the blocks already in place. The blocks come in a random order, but you can see the block that is coming next in the upper left corner and try to plan accordingly. Most of the time, I found that I did not have time to worry about what was coming next. The beam tips so quickly that I hardly had time to think about where to drop the next block. To drop blocks, simply tap on the screen where you want to drop the block.
The last game play mode is survival mode. Here you don't have a red shape to try to keep on the beam. You only have to keep the ends of the beam from hitting or going off the bottom of the screen. If the ends do go off the screen, the meter at the top will quickly start running out. When it runs out completely, the game is over. Again, it is a matter of seeing how long you can last.
Overall, Stay is a fun game. It was more challenging than I expected. The only piece of advice I can give is this…you are trying to last as long as you can. The timer starts after the first block is dropped. If things are balanced, don't rock the boat. Once the beam gets moving around a lot, it is hard to get it back under control.

Who Needs 'Em?
This story appears in the July 2000 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
When Craig Winchell attended the 1998 American International Toy Fair in New York, he was sure he'd have no problem lining up sales for Conscience, his interactive board game for parents to teach their children the difference between right and wrong with real-world examples. But disappointment soon set in, as Winchell realized not even one of the major retailers in attendance had any interest in the game. Ten years ago, that might have been the end of Winchell's entrepreneurial pursuit. But not today, in the age of the Internet.
As Winchell discovered, a whole slew of e-tailers were willing to take a risk on new yet unproven products. EToys was just one of the dotcoms on the prowl for products like Conscience, hoping to set their sites apart from traditional retailers. Thanks to those e-tailers willing to take the chance on him, in 1998, Winchell's company, GoRu (Golden Rule) Products, sold close to 5,000 games. And in 1999, sales for his Dallas, Texas, company approached 10,000 units. Although Winchell, 39, currently generates 20 percent of his sales through specialty retailers, the majority of his sales continue to rush in through major Internet retailers Amazon.com, eToys.com, and toysmart.com.
Benefits Of E-Tailing
"EToys' first order was for only six games," says Winchell. "When I talked to retailers, they were looking at stocking dozens of stores and were afraid of the risk. They wanted to stay with proven sellers-games with licensed TV characters or games that were heavily promoted." Internet retailers, on the other hand, work to set themselves apart from the big boxes by carrying specialty toys not generally available elsewhere.
That's not the only reason why e-tailers make good sales channels for inventors. For one thing, they offer unlimited sales space. A traditional retailer, on the other hand, has a limited amount of shelf space and has to drop one product if it decides to carry another. The big stores end up comparing products and choosing the ones they believe will sell more units. Virtual retailers, in contrast, can add as many products as they like.
Another big difference between the two is inventory. E-tailers can carry limited inventory, and in some cases, even have orders shipped directly from the vendors. Regular retailers, however, may be required to buy $10,000 or more of a single product in order to stock their inventories. Because the risk is less, Internet retailers are more willing to take the chance on new products.
"I won several awards and endorsements for Conscience, including 'Dr. Toy's Best Children's Vacation Product for 1998' [from a newspaper column that rates new toys] and the National Parenting Center's 'Seal of Approval.' " Winchell knows getting this information to consumers is crucial-and e-tailers can immediately post these kinds of honors on their sites. But when dealing with retail stores, Winchell has to put stickers on each box noting the awards he wins and then wait for retailers to reorder. Getting the word out to catalog buyers is even worse. Catalog publishers decide on new products in March or April for catalogs that are mailed in October or November. News about awards can take quite a while to reach customers.
"At one time, eToys listed Conscience first in its family-toy category," Winchell says. "That was because the product was selling." Internet sites respond immediately to hot-selling products. Retailers, on the other hand, sometimes fail to observe that products have sold out, and catalog companies can't really do much to highlight the hot products until the next catalog comes out. Winchell feels that because the Internet sites that sold his product responded so quickly, "Conscience [had] an opportunity to build on its success."
Introducing Your Product To E-Tailers
Although most Internet storefronts contain information about how to submit ideas, Winchell didn't find that route very effective. "You would send the product in and not know what happened to it," he says. Instead, Winchell tapped the same sales strategy he uses with catalogs: He called up the site, found the name of the correct buyer and then sent the information directly to that buyer. Winchell then followed up with the buyer by phone.
In each package, Winchell also included a short, sales-oriented paragraph for the Internet site's summary section, and then gave more detailed information for customers who clicked through to his product. The Internet stores didn't end up using Winchell's descriptions, but those short paragraphs did help the buyers get a better handle on how the game would appeal to customers on the Internet.
Winchell's difficulties didn't end there. He failed in his initial attempt to penetrate Amazon.com when it first branched out into toys. Says Winchell, "I just couldn't make the connection." And he couldn't get that initial order. So he turned to a representative in the Pacific Northwest who was able to call Amazon.com, find the right buyer and present the product. The result? A sale.
How can you find the right representative? Winchell went to the American International Toy Fair in New York City and asked other inventors who they used to represent their products.
Overcoming Obstacles
Inventors have always had a tough time selling retailers products that have uncertain market potential, but e-tailers want products that aren't sold everywhere else. They don't worry about the product appealing to a small market segment-after all, they attract customers from around the world. Internet retailers also like products that tie in to Internet search terms, as Conscience does with "ethics" or "moral standards." Such tie-ins not only promote products, but also bring people to e-tailers' sites. And if the product doesn't sell, there may be only five or six units in inventory rather than thousands' worth.
If you want to sell your product to an e-tailer, you might want to try Winchell's four-step approach:
1. Get the name of the buyer who purchases your type of product.
2. Prepare a sample Web page, or Web page copy, to illustrate how your product will attract customers. Include search terms people might use on the Internet.
3. Send your information package to the appropriate buyer.
4. Follow up at least five times with the buyer to try and close the sale.
You're not alone if you're having trouble selling your products off your Web site. That's why the better approach is to take advantage of a big Internet store and sell your products there. Winchell still hopes to land his product on the shelves of the big toy retailers, but in the meantime, he's satisfied with the sales from Internet retailers. It's a good place to start-and it just might work for your own product

It's the new year, which must mean it's time for all our PCs to go belly up.
Or so it seemed to me in the past couple of weeks. I thought the tale of these three systems is worth telling, as a lesson in recognizing and solving different types of PC problems. Perhaps you'll see something of your own PC troubles in this, but even if you don't, there are still lessons to be learned.
We'll begin this with the story of my daughter's ever-slowing Vista system.
The Tale of the Clogged PC
This past weekend, I'd decided it was time to nuke my daughter's system from orbit. It was the only way to be sure.
Emily's been running a fairly decent, though not bleeding edge system. Core components include an Intel QX6850, Asus P5Q3 Deluxe motherboard and an older 512MB Radeon HD 4870. Over the past couple of months, the system had begun running slower than molasses.
Emily is a fairly typical teenage girl when it comes to PC use. She uses the web heavily, and happily downloads anything she thinks she might like. She is, however, more tech savvy than most teenage girls, so she doesn't do really stupid stuff, like open phishing emails. However, she's a happy user of WildTangent games, likes to have the Weather Channel bug running (ugh, I say), and related sorts of gimmickry that can act as brakes on a fast system.
Recently, though, her system had been really dragging – so much so, that she'd given up on using it, and was using the communal living room laptop to do her homework and even run some light games. (I confess: I got her hooked on Torchlight.)
It all began several months back, when Emily began complaining that her system was glitchy. At the time, it was running Windows XP. I'd built the system about eighteen months ago, and it had been running reasonably well. I'd never been entirely happy with the QX6850, though. Even with a beefy Scythe Ninja cooler, the CPU typically idled at 58 degrees C. The QX6850 ran at 3GHz, but was built with the same 65nm process technology used in the original Conroe CPUs.
So I did something that, in retrospect, planted the seeds of bigger problems to come: I thought it would be a good idea to perform an in-place upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista.

vascos - Thursday, January 14, 2010 - linkthank´s very much for this article. as a systembuilder i am used to this like every day.hardware does all test(like-prime,linx,furmark+atitool,memtest++)but we had ram(works fine on other mb) running for 2-3weeks and then instantly crashed-swapped other ram in and fine for 3month´s and hoping longer.this is with a lot of p55 mobo´s.
Etern205 - Thursday, January 14, 2010 - linkWhile I agree the HD4870 is a old card to some extent, but I don't see it as a old card where no one wants to buy it. The card has dropped significantly in price which lets users on a budget get a card that's worth the performance within their price range.
bob4432 - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - linkthis is why i always use mature to 1gen old hardware and os w/ at least a decent service pack out if i need to upgrade the os at all. w/ the exceptions of gpus, nothing else is really equal for the return on investment when you consider in the time wasted on troubleshooting bs due to "out of the gate" brand new items - let others waste their time and $$$ and when it is time for me to buy, i will build a machine using older tech that will be faster than people buying the latest because the drivers/os/support has been had a few once overs and i will save a ton of time chasing "beta" hardware output.

cesthree - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - linkI had very similar issues with my EVGA P55 FTW E657 and DRAM.
My OCZ3P1600LV4GK wouldn't work at the rated 7-7-7-24-2T @ 1.65V AT ALL. Tried a slew of BIOS's and settings.
Purchased some Dominator-GT's CMG4GX3M2A2000C8, set the XMP, and was flying from the get go. 12+ hours Prime Blend AND 20+ Passes LinX stable easily.
DRAM compatibility is strange with the P55. I have seen all manufacturers forums filled with inconsistencies. Mostly there has been trouble with 1600Mhz kits.
I have also noticed where the kit would work on an AMD, and not on the i5 i7 part the kit was "designed" to work with.
Hope memory manufacturers and mobo manufacturers can get together to get this solved, or prepare for an onslaught of RMA's. Reply
cesthree - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - linkLooks like you were dealing with a Xenomorph. Reply
nubie - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - linkYep, it can sneak up on you and then bite you when you forget your own rules.
Kudos on Windows 7.
Please don't say things like "not bleeding edge system. Core components include an Intel QX6850" and "older 512MB Radeon HD 4870". It makes me want to cry, I have an e5200 and 8600GTS (could be worse, the GTS is quite a bit faster than the 8600GT, it has 32.3 GB/s of RAM bandwidth for one.) I had to search and search to get this system put together, even using an OEM MSI board (missing 2nd PCI-e and parallel ports, etc) and RMA'ing it twice to get it to POST with a 45nm processor. Some people have no jobs you know. Reply
xeopherith - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - linkI experienced the same memory trouble you had when building a system that was for work purposes. I ended up having to trade the memory in my gaming machine with the work machine just to resolve some memory problems.
Honestly it felt like a timing issue but I wouldn't get results in memtest only when running prime95 for long periods of time. After reading on OCZ's site it specifically said that the memory wouldn't work with anything but intel chipsets! I was building an AMD Phenom 940 when that was new with a Asus M4A78 Pro motherboard if memory serves. It didn't matter how much I underlocked, overvolt, undervolt, modified timings, ect.
I traded the memory for some Crucial that was specifically marked compatible on the Crucial configuration utility and holy crap it worked fine.
I have since had friends with the same problem but they certainly don't want to believe that if they pick the right frequency memory that it could be incompatible. It just goes to show you should be reading the PDFs for the motherboard and tested memory modules and or the memory manufactures tested ok modules. Both Crucial and Corsair have good documentation. I'm sure there are others but I prefer those two or OCZ. Reply
Taft12 - Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - linkFirst off, good article!
You are correct when you say "the state of the art in DDR3 modules seems to be evolving rapidly". I find RAM more than anything to be impossible to keep up with and fraught with incompatibilities. I now recommend only Kingston Value RAM for any system. They advertise that it is "by spec" and I see it on EVERY QVL I've ever looked at. The 1.5V is key, every vendor bumps this up. High-end RAM will gain you a couple % points in any benchmark at best, it is absolutely not worth buying anything else IMHO for anyone other than an "enthusiast" (hate that term) and even then it is money better spent on other components.
Thanks for bearing with my rant! Reply

These are not the Golden Girls you were expecting.
A painting of a topless Bea Arthur sold for $1.9 million to an anonymous buyer at Christie's auction house on Wednesday night, the New York Post reports.
However, Arthur, who died in 2009, did not actually sit for the painting, which was done by artist John Currin in 1991.
Add new fall shows to your watchlist
A spokesman for Christie's called the painting "historically significant," though noting that "it's radical to sexualize someone people think of as asexual."
What do you think of the painting? Check out the unedited version here. (Warning: NSFW.)

© Accipiter (R. Altenkamp, Berlin)
From early childhood on, children frequently use distinct gestures to draw the attention of adults to external objects. So-called deictic gestures such as "pointing" ("look here") and "holding up of objects" ("take this") are used by children for the first time at the age of nine to twelve months, before they produce their first spoken words. Scientists believe that such gestures are based on relatively complex intelligence abilities and represent the starting point for the use of symbols and therefore also human language. Deictic gestures are thus milestones in the development of human speech.
Surprisingly, observations of comparable gestures in our closest living relatives, the great apes, are relatively rare. Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in the Kibale National Park in Uganda, for example, use so-called directed scratches, to indicate distinct spots on their bodies to be groomed. Deictic gestures thus represent an extremely rare form of communication evolutionarily and have been suggested as confined to primates only.
According to the two researchers from Seewiesen and Vienna, however, such behaviour is not restricted to humans and great apes. For two years, Simone Pika und Thomas Bugnyar investigated the non-vocal behaviour of individually marked members of a wild raven community in the Cumberland Wildpark in Grünau, Austria. They observed that ravens use their beaks similar to hands to show and offer objects such as moss, stones and twigs. These distinct gestures were predominantly aimed at partners of the opposite sex and resulted in frequent orientation of recipients to the object and the signallers. Subsequently, the ravens interacted with each other, for example, by example billing or joint manipulation of the object.
Ravens are songbirds belonging to the corvid family like crows and magpies, and they surpass most of the other avian species in terms of intelligence. Their scores on various intelligence tests are similarly high than those of great apes. Ravens in particular can be characterized by complex intra-pair communication, relatively long-time periods to form bonds and a relatively high degree of cooperation between partners.
This new study shows that differentiated gestures have especially evolved in species with a high degree of collaborative abilities. "Gesture studies have too long focused on communicative skills of primates only. The mystery of the origins of human language, however, can only be solved if we look at the bigger picture and also consider the complexity of the communication systems of other animal groups" says Simone Pika from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology.

Silver Run Peak Climber's Log
Matt Lemke - Jan 12, 2016 7:29 pm Date Climbed: Jul 17, 201212er #4/26
Climbed from the Timberline Creek TH. Which summit is higher I don't know I climbed them both though.
russw - Sep 1, 2015 6:04 pmVia Sundance Pass
Climbed from sundance after summiting Whitetail. Great views.
GoHike - Aug 28, 2015 12:03 am Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2015A second summit
After a morning climb up Whitetail, I quickly climbed Silver Run Peaks again from the Sundance Pass. Very fast and easy, not that Timberline was hard (last time), but this was even easier. Stick to the grass when you can, to speed things up (West edge).
VincePoore - Aug 5, 2010 12:35 am Date Climbed: Jul 25, 2010Two-fer
Climbed Whitetail from Sundance Pass and then since the weather was outstanding, climbed the other side up to Silver Run Peak West and East. A twelve hour day back to camp at September Morn Lake.
nickL - Jul 20, 2010 10:15 pm Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2010Brutal dayhike
Wow, must have just missed evant. Did exactly the same route, just a little more than an hour apart. Left the Timberline Lake trailhead solo at 6:30 am, took Beartrack trail to the top of the plateau and arrived at the summit at 10:50 am. Spent about an hour up there and hiked over to the slightly taller west summit before heading down the northern side of the plateau and dropping down to Timberline lake. Took about 4 hours to get my hurting feet from the summit back to the car.
evant - Jul 18, 2010 10:02 pm Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2010long day
Started at the Timberline Trail head at 7:45 am. Ascended to Silver Run Plateau via the Beartrack trail. Walked cross-country across the plateau to the east summit (slow going in the massive boulder fields on the SE ridge). Descended along the north plateau through several snow fields which made progress fast, before dropping down near Timberline lake. Then followed the trail back to the start. 18 miles, took 13 hours at a fairly casual pace. Wonderful, but challenging loop.
redneckpaul - Oct 4, 2009 10:15 pm Date Climbed: Sep 6, 2009Another long day
After climbing Whitetail in July I decided Silver Run would be next. I found a climbing partner in My mother in laws husband Shane. He`s 58 years old and in good shape for is age. We climbed Rearguard a few weeks earlier so I could see what kind of shape he was in. He did okay and said he had another 1000 feet in him. Anyway I talked him into Silver Run. We decided to do it as a dayhike as we didn`t have time for an overnighter. Took off from the West Fork trailhead a 5 in the morning with flashlights. Reached the top around 2 PM. We got back to the trailhead in the dark about 9 pm. Around 22 miles round trip. My new climbing partner was blistered and could hardly walk. He has the climbing bug but said this was a little much. I say he did alright for a 58 year old. Were planning peaks for next summer.
RedLodge - Sep 21, 2009 9:57 am Date Climbed: Sep 19, 2009Long day
10 mile hike up the Lake Fork drainage to Sundance Pass, then up to Silver Run Peak. No trail and plenty of boulder fields once you leave Sundance Pass behind. The topography is somewhat confusing and there are, as someone pointed out, two peaks. The more northeasterly high point is the official USGS summit, and is harder to get to from Sundance Pass. The other high point is the one pictured in the lead photo (on the left), with the vertical west face, and is actually 42 feet higher than the official summit. Returned via Lake Fork for a long day. Beautiful views and plenty of water below Sundance Pass. Small water sources -- probably not very reliable -- are present above Sundance Pass.
Scott - Aug 30, 2009 11:02 pm Date Climbed: Aug 26, 2009Silver Run
It was cloudy and sprinkled the night before, but by morning the weather looked pretty good. Because of the clouds it was a warmer 35F (2C). We headed back up towards Sundance Pass, but it was more challenging than the day before because we were carrying our big packs. We dropped our packs at the pass and headed up south towards Silver Run Peak. The weather was good and we made our way across the boulderfields to the summit.
The summit of Silver Run Peak is a spectacular place to be because although the east slopes are gentle, the west face drops down to the West Fork Lake Fork below in a steep cliff nearly 3500 feet (1066 meters) high. Although it really isn't completely vertical, it sure looks like it from the top and the summit is an exciting place to be.
After enjoying the wonderful views from the summit and having a nice lunch we headed back to Sundance Pass where we left our packs. There were two mountain goats at the pass and we spent a few minutes watching them before reluctantly shouldering our big packs and heading down the 30 switchbacks down to the West Fork of Rock Creek.
It was getting late and there were two people (a teenage girl and her father) camped near the stream crossing (9550 feet/2911 m), but they said they didn't mind company and we shared a campsite. We talked with them and shared our dessert with them before going to bed.
ericksms - Aug 24, 2006 2:07 pm Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2006Silver Run from Timberline Lake
After camping at Timberline lake, daughter #2 - age 18 - and I scrambled up the slope from the NNW corner of Timberline lake and made the plateau between Pks 10797 and 11184. After that, a straightforward trek to the summits. Since this was our first real summit in the Beartooths, I will say we were a bit surprised by the size and steepness of the boulder field at the top of the East summit - I think the final 10 minutes took us closer to 40!
Brice, thanks for your input as I planned this trip - very much appreciated.
CBakwin - Jul 4, 2006 5:07 pm Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2006Silver Run
Camping at September Morn Lake made this an easy day, Great views of West Fork Drainage, the Bear's Tooth, and of course, Whitetail Peak.
Kellert - Mar 17, 2006 2:09 amSouth ridge from sundance pass
Was a great day hike. Hiked in from the west fork of creek, up sundance pass, then the nice scramble up to Silver run. Exited through Lake fork Trail. Great weather all day.
granitepeaker - Aug 24, 2005 9:46 pmRoute Climbed: Sundance Pass Date Climbed: August 21, 2005
We ascended from Sundance Pass and descended down to Timberline Lake. We climbed both the east and west Silver Run Peaks. Very exposed and slow going in the boulder fields.
mr kieran - Mar 19, 2005 6:27 pmRoute Climbed: South Ridge Date Climbed: June 2000
Scrambled up from Sundance Pass, then descended via a buttress above September Morn Lake. Storm chased us off the summit. Easy walk up (if any activity above 12,000 feet can be called easy) with a magnificent view.

How southern black farmers were forced from their land
Clip: 08/13/2019 | 8m 13s
African Americans have lost millions of acres of farmland across the South during the last century, in a trend propelled by economic forces, racism and white economic and political power. Most of the losses occurred since the 1950s. John Yang talks to Vann Newkirk of The Atlantic, which highlights the story in its September issue, about the origins of what Newkirk calls "the great land robbery."
