This is the story of two women who are bringing hope to unemployed people with disabilities nationwide. Both women have fought personal determined battles with disability, both have experienced the pain of discrimination, and both have developed inner strength through adversity. Both women are champions of a person's right to work based on ability, not disability.
Although she has acquired a reputation as a fighter who never retreats, Rebecca Ogle, the executive director of the Presidential Task Force on Employment of Adults with Disabilities, isn't just fighting for herself -she is hoisting the battle flag for the approximately 54 million people with disabilities in this country.
Ogle and the Task Force she heads are charged with removing the obstacles that prevent adults with disabilities from working -a daunting task, no doubt, in a climate where many employers consider it a liability to hire people with disabilities. When Ogle was appointed executive director of the Task Force in 1998, Secretary of Labor Alexis M. Herman described her as a terrific manager, coalition-builder, and strategist. " The President charged this Task Force with a plain and direct mission, " Herman said. " To design a national strategy to make equality of opportunity, full participation, inclusion, and economic self-sufficiency realities for all 30 million working age Americans with disabilities. Becky Ogle will help us make that happen."
To accomplish these goals, Ogle has at times had to roll over a few toes. Because she is a double leg amputee and uses a wheelchair, she's been called " Hell on Wheels " by those who don't like her tenacity and the General Patton of the disability movement by those who do. She, however, insists that she is just being herself. A petite blond with a gentle demeanor and a trace of an East Tennessee accent from childhood, she is in fact difficult to imagine as either " Hell on Wheels " or General Patton. However, she is known for her high energy level, persistence, and outspokenness; and when certain subjects are broached, one can almost see her sprouting bristles.
Growing up with a disability
Born in 1956 in Knoxville, Tennessee, with spina bifida, a birth defect in the spinal column, Ogle considers growing up with spina bifida the most difficult part of her life. In those days, she says, " the school systems were pretty much ineffective and inadequate. " Because the schools didn't know how to handle someone with a disability, Ogle was unhappy at school and always felt that she needed to be fixed. " My greatest joy was when I finally accepted that I was a person with a disability and that I was okay, " she says. Years later, as a student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Ogle majored in social work, but the courses she took were mostly determined by whether or not they were accessible to her. Getting up and down stairs and to and from distant and inaccessible rest rooms were always problems.
Although schools have improved, she says, " We still have a long way to go to ensure that children with disabilities receive an appropriate education. " Remembering her own experiences in the school system, she finds a reason for her life's work: " My own experiences of being railroaded shaped what I do today, " she asserts. Her father was a lawyer, and her mother, she says, was a great advocate and really ahead of her time. " I learned my advocacy from her, " she says.
The beginning of a career in advocacy Ogle also got some training in the field during the battle to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). When she began her political career in Washington, D. C. , in 1989 as the director of governmental affairs and advocacy for the Spina Bifida Association of America, many people in Washington were lobbying for the passage of the ADA, and Ogle quickly joined the struggle. " I was able to immediately enter into a community of likeminded individuals who were working on the most important civil rights statute in our history, " she says. " And it was the first time that I had ever been around other people with disabilities. I immediately felt connected and felt like I had arrived somewhere that I had always been searching for. " The ADA, which was passed in 1990, prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in employment, transportation, telecommunications, public accommodations, and housing. " It was the most comprehensive civil rights statute ever passed in the world, " Ogle says.
Since leaving the Spina Bifida Association of America and before being named the executive director of the Presidential Task Force on Employment of Adults with Disabilities in 1998, Ogle worked with the 1992 and 1996 Clinton-Gore campaigns, headed Project: AccessAbility at the National Association for Medical Equipment Services, did consulting work, and headed a coalition to raise lifetime insurance caps.
An ongoing struggle
And over the years, she has had to return several times to the fight for the ADA. Because the law's definition of who can be considered disabled is controversial, it has been criticized and challenged on several occasions. Businesses have spent billions of dollars making themselves ADA-compliant, and several efforts have been made -in Congress and in the courts -to weaken the law's influence.
Recently, the U. S. Supreme Court denied the ADA's protection for people with physical disabilities that are treatable with medication or devices like glasses or hearing aids. "It was a horrible decision, "Ogle contends. "It's very dangerous -especially for amputees, people with epilepsy, or people with psychiatric disabilities -that the law would say that if you can take a pill that mitigates your disability then you're no longer a person with a disability and no longer protected under the ADA. We know that these individuals continue to experience discrimination every day in their lives, and pills aren't the answer. Pills don't do away with the discrimination."
The new president is also likely to have significant influence on the ADA and other disability issues, Ogle says. "Right now in Congress we have a pending legislation called the 90-day notification act, which is the Clint Eastwood issue," she explains. This act would prevent people from suing businesses violating the ADA until defendants are given 90 days to comply with the law, and the next president might have the opportunity to sign it or veto it. Moreover, he will probably have the opportunity to appoint three Supreme Court justices who could uphold or overturn many ADA civil rights protections for people with disabilities.
President Bill Clinton appointed Ogle to her position in 1998, and she has worked closely with him and Vice President Al Gore over the last 2-1/2 years. "We have made over 30 recommendations to the president and vice president," Ogle says, "all of which have been accepted and implemented, with the exception of the ones that took Congressional action * with the exception of one."
She denies that it is difficult to get things done in Washington, D.C., saying that it is not difficult to get things done when the President, the Vice President, and the Cabinet support her. However, she concedes that getting things done in Congress is not as easy.
Moving forward
A few of the things the Task Force recommended were laws to ensure training, jobs, and continued medical insurance for those with disabilities who become employed; the encouragement of small business ownership for the disabled, and the establishment of an interagency youth-to-work initiative.
One of the greatest accomplishments of the Task Force, Ogle says, has been the establishment of an office of disability policy in the Department of Labor. "The ADA levels the playing field," she says, but it doesn't guarantee anyone a top paying job or anything more than other people. Making the Department of Labor, the voice of the American worker, inclusive of workers with disabilities will help open up more possibilities for advancement." If we're truly committed to the goals and principles outlined in the Americans with Disabilities Act, we -and I'm talking about the disability community too -will stop creating these separate programs for people with disabilities, and we will change our focus to ensure that the mainstream programs at the Department of Labor and every other department at the federal level is serving people with disabilities."
A long way to go
Although the Task Force has accomplished many of its goals, Ogle doesn't feel that it is time to rest yet. The entrance of people with disabilities into the mainstream of society will require a lot more work, she says, and awareness of what people with disabilities face is an important prerequisite to that.
Because some people with disabilities can work, excel in sports, and accomplish amazing things in their lives, it does not mean that they should no longer be considered people with disabilities, she argues. They might still be discriminated against and have problems getting access to buildings, rest rooms, and transportation. I'm discriminated against " all of the time, " she asserts. But, in most cases, she doesn't feel that it is done intentionally. It's usually done out of ignorance, she says, especially when individuals are doing it. However, with businesses, she sees it differently, and the question brings out her bristles. " These businesses that refuse to comply with the ADA, that's intentional, " she says. " There's nothing subtle about that. There's just this, 'come sue me type of attitude,' and that pisses me off. " And it's not wise to make her angry. She has already sued a convenience store chain because some of its locations were not accessible for people with disabilities.
On the economic and political front
The establishment of economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities through education and employment is at the heart of Ogle's strategy to bring them into the mainstream and into a better life. "If they depend on government assistance, they are going to live at or near the poverty level," Ogle says. "People with disabilities want more, and they're demanding more. They're demanding that they have access to the American Dream."
And it is perhaps an opportune time for them to get it. The nation is experiencing record low unemployment and a strong economy. Businesses are not able to find employees to fill the available jobs. At the same time, large numbers of people with disabilities are unemployed and have not been given a chance to prove themselves as employees. " All people have value, " Ogle says. " All can contribute when supports and accommodations are provided. We cannot afford to waste the potential of any person in our nation."
However, she realizes that before businesses will hire them, " we've got to make sure that people with disabilities are competitive in today's job market. " That means appropriate training and adequate transportation to and from work. " Businesses can't afford to hire people who are not competent, and I wouldn't expect them to, " she emphasizes. Most importantly, Ogle says, " We've got to change the way that people with disabilities think about themselves. Attitudinal barriers are the biggest barriers for people with disabilities, within both themselves and in soci, ety. We need to get very politically savvy in our movement and do a better job of outreach. " Although " people with disabilities in general don't have the economic clout to buy their way into the political process, they do buy their way in by their numbers and by their commitment. " Approximately 30 million individuals between the ages of 18 and 64 have disabilities, she says, and that is a significant number if it is used wisely in the struggle for inclusion -a struggle that Ogle, well-known for her tireless efforts for the disabled community, appears more than willing to continue.

She's been hailed as a "Hero for Today" by Reader's Digest magazine and selected by President Clinton as the 1999 " President's Award Winner " for her work in employing people with disabilities. Yet Joyce Bender has had her share of personal struggles. Misdiagnosed by doctors in her 20s, for over a decade Bender was led to believe that her reoccurring seizures and loss of consciousness were "flu symptoms." It wasn't until 1984 that Bender's "mystery illness" was diagnosed as epilepsy, a seizure disorder. She was buying a Diet Coke during an intermission of the movie Amadeus when she had a violent seizure and hit the floor so hard she fractured her skull, causing a cerebral hemorrhage and fracturing the bones in her right ear. A man stepped out of the crowd saying, " I'm a doctor, I can help. I know what's wrong with her. " Bender is convinced the man was an angel because he stayed with her until the paramedics came and then vanished. " For years I have tried to locate him -to thank him for saving my life but I've never been able to find him. "
Doctors recommended immediate brain surgery, warning her husband and family members that she might end up blind, paralyzed, and even mentally impaired. Bender not only survived but after two months of therapy, she returned to work at Bender and Associates, an executive search firm where she was one of three partners.
The incident left her with a 40 percent hearing loss in one ear and vivid memories of the people she had met while in rehabilitation. " I realized how fortunate I was to have my own company to return to, and I couldn't shake the images of those less fortunate. If they recovered, who would hire them?" she wondered.
A new direction
Those thoughts and her own brush with disability left Bender with a passion to help people with disabilities. " Until you have competitive employment, you will never be free in this country, " she says. " You cannot buy a car, get an apartment, go on vacation, do all the things that people with jobs take for granted. But when you give a person a chance, you're giving them a chance to change their entire life. "
When she eventually returned to work, Bender heard about the Institute of Advanced Technology (IAT) in Pittsburgh, a school that trains people with disabilities to become computer programmers. " The problem was that after the training, no one would hire them, " Bender says. " So I decided to get involved and use my executive search firm to find jobs for people with disabilities. "
At first, Bender tried to place students on her own. Then she founded a group effort called " Partners in Placement " through which she tried to rally other executives to hire and place people with disabilities. " I would call companies and say, 'I know you have a senior-level opening, and if you'll consider hiring a junior-level person, I'll waive my fee.'" Bender placed 15 to 20 people with disabilities using this approach, usually to the same two companies. Eight years passed and Bender realized that she wasn't seeing the progress she had hoped for. " Very few companies were willing to take a chance, " Bender remarks. " Unfortunately, that's still true today. "
Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was an exception. The company believed in the project and made a commitment to Bender to place qualified people with disabilities in jobs at Highmark. John Brouse, CEO of Highmark explains:" We are delighted to be in a position to offer important, challenging positions to people with disabilities. Not only has being in the vanguard of hiring people with disabilities been the right thing to do -it has been the intelligent, business thing to do!These individuals are productive, dependable, loyal and promotable. They are one of our greatest assets, bar none. "
Hiring people with disabilities
Encouraged by Highmark's commitment to partner with her, Bender decided to take the risk and hire people with disabilities and lease them out to businesses. To do this she would start a second company -a " for-profit " computer consulting firm that would train people with disabilities and place them in jobs. Bender decided on a " for-profit " rather than " nonprofit " company, she says, because " people with disabilities should have the same chance as people without disabilities to compete for raises and bonuses that a profitable company can offer. " Today, 90 percent of her staff is people with disabilities. Bender hires them as computer consultants, and they work with her for six to nine months before going to another company. They all have full benefits coverage. Some stay with her firm indefinitely; others move on to other jobs.
Prospective employees, however, must have the necessary education and skills, Bender stresses. " I'm not hiring these people because they have disabilities. They are qualified people who just happen to have a disability. "
One such worker is Paul Julian, a left below knee amputee, born in New Castle, Pennsylvania. Julian met Bender after he lost his leg in a motorcycle accident in 1990. " I was working in Columbus, Ohio, as a machinist before the accident and had to change careers after I lost my leg, " Julian says. " I had an opportunity to go to IAT for computer training, and afterwards, I met Joyce Bender, she hired me, and I went to work at BCS. " Later, Julian was placed in a job at Highmark, a move he is very grateful for. " I needed to work, so I moved back to New Castle. Highmark is a great place to work. They are a flexible company, and most importantly, they look at me as an asset. "
Barriers to progress
Bender says two barriers exist toward people with disabilities: attitude and fear. " Education needs to be inward, because it's still socially acceptable to make remarks about people with disabilities, " she says, adding that she is frequently the brunt of such remarks. " Much like racism, it's an attitude of viewing people with disabilities as inferior. 'Let's hire one of those people; let's do them a favor,'some people say. This is pity, and it's an attitude that leads to unemployment. "
Fear is caused by ignorance, " Bender continues. " People are often uncomfortable around people with disabilities; they don't want to face it, talk about it or be around it. I always tell people to remember that this is the only protected class group that any of us can join at any time. "
Myths are responsible for many misconceptions about people with disabilities, Bender notes. Myths such as it costs more to provide medical insurance for people with disabilities and they will have a higher level of absenteeism. " I have employees with a variety of disabilities who have not missed a day of work, other of working age who are unemployed in this country. untapped labor pool of people who want to work. Employers are missing the added productivity to their workforce by hiring people with this kind of work ethic. enters the workforce, there is a change in the way people think. " Today, at 47, Bender's health is good. Her illness is controlled by medication, and she has not had a seizure in over six years. Bender Consulting Services is well on its way to becoming a national model or placing information technology professionals with disabilities. Though she realizes that convincing employers to open their doors to people with disabilities will be an uphill battle, she will continue to fight. "
Don't ever think that one person can't make a difference, " she says. " When I won the President's Award from President Clinton, it was the greatest honor I've ever received. come that you don't have to go all the way to the White House to get an award for employing people with disabilities. I hope someday people will do it because it's the right thing to do. "

All-Dade LB Thompson flips from FIU to Utah
Miami Central three-star linebacker and All-Dade selection Donavan Thompson flipped his longtime commitment to FIU into a commitment to Utah on Sunday, three days before National Signing Day.
Thompson told the Miami Herald he switched his college commitment based more on what he saw in Utah than anything he didn't like about the Panthers. After visiting on Wednesday, he ultimately chose the Utes over UCF and FIU.
Thompson (6-0, 215 pounds) figured he would prefer to go away for college and was impressed by what he saw in Salt Lake City.
"It's just different -- the mountains and the cold weather. It was just something different and something new," said Thompson, who finished his senior season with 135 tackles and 11 sacks. "I just felt like it was time for a change, and Utah was the place to do that."
Thompson's flip continues a trend of Utah snagging South Florida prospects. The Utes now have five Dade/Broward recruits committed with Hallandale trio of quarterback Tyler Huntley, running back Zack Moss and wide receiver Demari Simpkins (Huntley and Simpkins already enrolled) and St. Thomas Aquinas running back Devonta'e Henry-Cole.
"We're probably like the next Louisville, having a lot of South Floridians on the team," Thompson says.
FIU, on the other hand, is now down to four in the two counties. UM (six), FAU, Michigan, Toledo and Utah (all with five) have more.
Blessed to say that I'm officially committed to UTAH 🔴⚫⚪ https://t.co/dHAXt0z7SP
— Donavan Thompson (@44killa_kill) February 1, 2016
Thompson was primarily recruited by Utes head coach Dennis Erickson, who won two national championships coaching the Miami Hurricanes.
"He's been to national championships and coached a lot of great NFL players, Hall-of-Famers. So when I think about him and that he sees something in me, I feel like I'm going to excel at Utah," he says.
Thompson likes the 4-2 defense the Utes will run, which is the same scheme the Central Rockets ran.
"I feel like Utah was a good fit and I'll be able to excel in their type of defense," he said.
Thompson's highlights:

When you look at the URL in your web browser if you are using a search engine or on a retail site, you will notice URLs http://host/path?user=James+Rogers&s...rish&sub=music. The part after the question mark (i.e., user=James+Rogers&subj= folk&sub=irish&sub=music) is known as form or query data and is the most common way to get information from a Web page to a server-side program. Form or query data can be attached to the end of the URL after a question mark, for GET requests, or sent to the server on a separate line, for POST requests. (Note that there was an urban myth of 256 characters for URIs on GET requests but this was never true and only a limitation caused by some server implementations).
With URLs such as the one shown above, extracting the needed information from this form data is using CGI programming is trying if not extremely difficult. Consider that you have to read the data one way for GET requests (through the QUERY_STRING environment variable for CGI) and for POST requests (through reading the standard input in traditional CGI). Then you have to divide up the pairs by the ampersands, then separate the parameter names (via the equal signs) from the parameter values. Finally, you have to URL-decode the values. The easy ones to deal with are alphanumeric characters as they are sent unchanged, but other characters need to be converted to various character strings. On the server-side program the process is reversed. Look at one of my previous tips on how servlets do parse query strings automatically and provide you with the parameters in a easy to use manner.

Bidding & Tendering
There are approximately 318,000 people involved in bidding and/or tendering activities as part of their occupation; this accounts for 1% of the working population in the UK [1]. While this group represents a small percentage of total employment, the work they do is vital for the prosperity of businesses across all sectors. Good bid writers are able to source extra revenue for their business and are often instrumental in producing a surplus cash flow.
To ensure that the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for bid professionals reflect industry needs and are fit for purpose, we worked with the following organisations during their development:
- The Association of Bid and Proposal Management Professionals
- The Bid Team
- E Anderson Consulting
- Forster Brandt
- Framework Housing Association
- Glasgow Housing Association
- Scottish Qualifications Authority
- SFEDI Solutions
- Thornton & Lowe
- Winning Bid Masterclass.
The Bidding & Tendering NOS have been developed to encompass all areas of the bidding and tendering process, including the following standards:
- CFABAT001 Evaluate and develop the organisation's ability to bid
- CFABAT002 Prepare to bid
- CFABAT003 Plan the bid
- CFABAT004 Write and submit the bid
- CFABAT005 Undertake post-submission activities
The NOS cover occupational functions at a number of levels of responsibility and complexity. They are relevant to anyone involved in the bidding and tendering process, including bid professionals, bid advisors, marketing, sales and business development teams and business managers.
We have not developed qualifications in bidding & tendering. However, there are a few QCF qualifications on the Register of Regulated Qualifications, and a wide range of non-accredited training courses and qualifications available in the public domain.
[1] This estimate includes the following SOC2010 occupations:
- 1133 – purchasing managers and directors (including bid managers)
- 3539 – business and related associate professionals
- 3542 – business sales executives

Building a Two-Node Linux Cluster with Heartbeat
Commercial products from Red Hat, TurboLinux and PolyServe use the same concept of IP aliasing. When the primary server goes down, the backup server will pick up the same aliasing IP so that high availability can be achieved.
The cluster product from PolyServe is very sophisticated. It has support on SAN (server area network) and is capable of more than two nodes. It is very easy to install and easy to configure. I successfully configured the trial version without reading any documentation through a windows monitoring client. However, sophistication comes with a price tag, and the software costs more than a thousand dollars for a two-node cluster. The 30-day trial version cluster will stop after two hours, and it is not much fun for testing.
The cluster product from TurboLinux needs some fine-tuning. The installation documentation is confusing (or maybe they simply don't want people to do-it-themselves). The web configuration tool is unstable; the cgi script will crash whenever the user clicks the reload or refresh button. And of course, as a commercial product, it comes with a high price tag.
Linux is very stable and reliable, and it is quite common to have our servers up and running for a few hundred days at a time. Heartbeat works fine in my tests, and if you are looking for a product with higher availability for a small business or education institution, Heartbeat is definitely a perfect option.

Re: defrag?
I have never even heard of running defrag for a windows disk problem and no one I know has ever run defrag for that purpose. Defrag is for consolidating data not fixing errors. Why would you even suggest doing this???? Scandisk is the standard tool that everyone uses and runs automatically most times you have a lockup or improper shutdown.
Please for anyone reading the above message do NOT run defrag if you are getting disk errors. Run scandisk. If you continue to have problems your disk may be going bad.
Re: defrag?
I try not to use Windows, but the last time I ran defrag (win98), scandisk was first invoked automatically.
I also thought this article would be about clusters (a la Beowolf), at least based on the title. Anyway, It was easy to read and I learned something new!
(linux.com wouldn't let me log in)
apache cluster on san
ok heartbeat works great - really appreciated ! and
i am amazed the way it worked perfectly.
how do we mount the san partition for that IP service in active-active apache cluster.
do i make an entry in /etc/fstab or is that a sin ?
I mea i need to mount /var/www/html on /dev/sdc1 . so i do i mak a entry in fstab file ?

No Separate Storage?
so it means I have two Linux computers, I can have Cluster installed. So I do not need any separate storage device right?
How shared storage work in this case?
Data Sheet
Mistaken config
Why do you assign in hosts file "node1" and "node2" if you will use "atm1" and "cluster1" ?
if you choose this way "auth errors" will happen, all clusters will be in master role, it is conflict, so assign as below
in ha.cf on both clusters
node node1
node node2
in haresources on both clusters (if you want node1 to be master)
node1 virtualaddress httpd
and you must set authkeys files the same on all clusters otherwise it will not start.
auth 1
1 md5 "mysecret"
and for professional HA cluster we need null modem cable, on NIC perspective SPOFs will load extra bandwidth. For storage networks that is not permittable.

Still smarting from Wednesday's loss to Windsor, London squad quietly readies for Saturday's match against Halifax Rainmen
It was one of the quietest shootarounds the London Lightning have held this year.
Friday morning, just before the team left for a pair of National Basketball League of Canada games in the Maritimes, the normally boisterous gym at the downtown YMCA was library-like.
When there was anything to be heard it came from the booming voice of coach Micheal Ray Richardson.
It seems the hangover from the Lightning's loss to the Express in a big game Wednesday in Windsor still lingers.
With the Express, Lightning and Brampton A's beating up on each other during the regular season, every game the three play against each other is vital. Home-court advantage goes to the team finishing first and that might be what makes the difference between a championship or not.
But it was more than just the loss. It was the way his club lost.
"We didn't play well," Richardson said.
The main culprit offensively, as is usual when the Lightning doesn't play well, is a lack of ball movement and too many three-point shots.
In three games, two of which they won, the Lightning shot 81 three-pointers. They took 30 in Windsor.
In the deadly quiet gym Richardson made it clear what he thought of the three-point shots.
"That's bull—-," he said.
The combination of holding the ball too long without moving it and then settling for a three-point shot proved deadly for the Lightning against the Express, especially in the first half. Windsor went out to a 19-point halftime lead.
In an effort to change all that Richardson is going to make a change, starting Greg Surmacz in place of Maurice Bolden on the weekend. The Lightning don't have a true centre but the 6-foot-8 Canadian has the mentality to play inside.
"He knows how to play in there and he's tough," Richardson said. "You can't be soft."
Surmacz missed some time early in the season with an ankle injury. It takes a while for a shooter to get back in the groove. He's averaging seven points a game but he's also a good rebounder.
The Lightning will need good work inside this weekend. They travel to Halifax to play the Rainmen, the worst team in the NBL, on Saturday night.
Sunday, the Lightning take on the best team in the Atlantic Conference, the Saint John Mill Rats. The Rats are 15-9 and have one of the league's hottest players. Anthony Anderson is tied for the league lead in scoring with the Stefan Bonneau of the Express, both averaging almost 23 points a game.
Even though the Rainmen are only 4-21, teams that overlook any team in the NBL are often handed a rude wake-up call.
"Every game is tough," Richardson said.
That's especially true if you are one of the top teams. As an example on Thursday night, three games were played in the NBL. One went to overtime and the three winning teams won the games by a combined total of nine points.
The Lightning were supposed to be on the road for two weeks and six games but a makeup game gives the Bolts a home date on Wednesday against the Ottawa SkyHawks at the Gardens.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — All year I have been watching the linear extrapolation in the press of Chinese monthly economic data releases. One month China is headed for a depression, while the next things are bottoming out and it's all coming up roses from here. The truth is China has gradually slowed and may very well slow some more.
The latest round of economic excitement came earlier in August with the release of July industrial production data. Since industrial output rose 9.7% year-over-year up from 8.9% in June, the theory goes that this upturn is not just an uptick and will mark a turning point for the Chinese economy. The hope for a turning point in the economy stems from the view that the crackdown on shadow banking in June, which affected the whole banking system, is almost over.
• 3 big reasons to invest in India
• Think you know the BRICs?
• Trading Strategies: September — see full report
I do not share the view that the regulatory crackdown on shadow banking will stop soon. The official Chinese monetary aggregate growth rates have been erratic, be it M1 or M2, but they do not include brisk shadow-banking activity.
At 69% of Chinese GDP, shadow banking has gotten away from the regulators. The Chinese monetary authorities fear that such unregulated lending may make traditional monetary policy much less potent in a year or two, so they are unlikely to back off now when they have started to target shadow banking in earnest.
I think that a further crackdown on unregulated lending will cause a bigger slowdown in the Chinese economy, so I would not read too much into a month or two of better-than-expected readings of industrial-production data. This does not mean one cannot find values in Chinese stocks, but it does suggest looking for such values away from companies excessively exposed to this monetary tightening like Chinese financials.
Slowdown or not, China is a the world's second-largest economy, and that offers many opportunities for growth investors, particularly in light of the fact that economic worries have pressured the overall Chinese stock market, resulting in dirt-cheap valuations.
Last December I theorized that one should look for secular growth companies less affected by the macro issues that could "sail through" more easily through this Chinese economic uncertainty. Two stocks to consider were search engine Baidu BIDU, -0.12% and oil giant CNOOC CEO, +0.63%
The theory with BIDU was/is fairly straightforward. Since 2012, Chinese economic jitters had pressured the shares, where somewhat slowing — but still strong — earnings and revenue growth for Baidu had resulted in steadily growing book value, but a falling share price. This caused Baidu's price-to-book valuation in late 2012 and up until mid-2013 to fall below the lows it saw in the infamous low for global stock markets in March 2009.
A steadily growing business with rising book value and (until recently) falling share price resulted in a "coiled spring" phenomenon for the share price, until the right catalyst was found to release the coil. The catalyst in this case was a better-than-expected quarterly earnings report.
I find it difficult to believe that Baidu's valuation will dip below the low established this year in light of revenue forecasted to grow 40.1% this year and 31.9% in 2014. Earnings have been depressed due to the extra spending needed to fend off the competitive threat from Qihoo 360 Technology US:QIHU but unseating Baidu from its leadership position is highly unlikely given its massive market share.
It is true that Qihoo has taken some market share fast, but the Chinese Internet market is much less developed, which means there is room for a rapidly growing challenger and an established leader. The company has previously stated it's looking to gain 20% of the Chinese search market by 2013, while there are reports out of China that it sees a 30% market share possible by 2014.
The updated outlook is due to its short-term projections being met more quickly. China has a PC penetration rate of about 42% and a much smaller smartphone penetration rate by developed-world standards. As PC and smartphone penetration grows, QIHU's potential market is likely to grow fast, which is why investors are so excited. But even if Baidu has a somewhat smaller share from a much bigger market as the penetration rate expands, its share of the pie in monetary value in 2014 is still much bigger than what it controls today.
CNOOC is more economically sensitive than Baidu, which has resulted in more pressure on its share price. But even if Chinese oil demand is growing more slowly, it is still growing. CNOOC shares too were faced with the issue of growing book value but a falling share price, which resulted in a depressed valuation in July, lower than what it had in March 2009.
The competitive advantage with CNOOC is that it is a state-owned enterprise (SOE). While SOEs in other industries are more problematic, in this case, CNOOC has been given the overall responsibilities for the exploitation of oil and gas resources offshore China. This means that since 1982 — the time of incorporation — the company has enjoyed monopoly status in the offshore oil and natural-gas industry in China.
China's oil demand will hit 10.65 million barrels a day in 2013, up 4.1%, accounting for 48% of the global increase in oil consumption. China's oil demand will grow next year by 4% to 11.08 million barrels a day when China will account for 36% of global growth in 2014 according to the EIA. With such growth in oil demand, CNOOC is unlikely to stay at such a depressed valuation for long trading at 7.5 forward earnings and 1.8 times book value .

British Olympic Team Announced
The forty one swimmers who leave for Australia later this month, will thanks to lottery funding be the best prepared ever to compete in an Olympic Games but just how many medals will they bring home?
Despite he British Olympic Association insisting on harder qualifying times than laid down by FINA, the team is much larger than expected.
Four years ago at the Atlanta swimmers doubled their medal tally of Barcelona with a silver by Paul Palmer in the 400m freestyle and a bronze in the 1500m by Graeme Smith.
What ever the total it will fall far short of the thirty two golds predicted by Deryk Snelling when he was appointed as the Director of Performance for British swimming.
Currently Britain has seven swimmers ranked in the top eight of the world with the USA still to hold their Olympic Trials. But not one of the seven is ranked in the first three.
They are Palmer, Sue Rolph, Alison Sheppard, Helen Don Duncan, Stephen Parry and James Hickman.
Palmer has experienced Olympic success but knows this time around it could be much more difficult. For in front of a partisan crowd the Australian swim team is going to be formidable.
Rolph the former European 100m freestyle champion, was pre selected and has not had to show her best. But the twenty two year has changed her options as to which event she has the best chance in. Last summer she was all set for the freestyle. But now fancies her chances are best in the 200m medley.
Sheppard whose new found form has shot her up the rankings knows she has to improve still further to match the form of Inge de Bruijn, Theresa Alshammar and Jenny Thompson but with her new weight training schedule she believes she is closing the gap.
In the 200m butterfly Britain should have not just one finalist but two in the form of Stephen Parry the British and Commonwealth record holder, and James Hickman a finalist four years ago.
Until March Hickman was the flag bearer for British hopes and aspirations in the event. But then the Parry the tall Liverpudlian, lowered his British mark. This could well have taken the pressure off Hickman who swam his best for two years at the Olympic Trials in Sheffield last month

CoolerMaster has updated their lineup of CPU and graphics coolers, and we bring you the most interesting news from the air cooling department.
Coolviva pro / pro2 are very similar graphical card coolers with aluminum fins, and aluminum base with a smaller copper plate for the GPU. Their main advantage over most of today's high end coolers is that they have an air outlet-ducts, so the hot air doesn't circulate around the card. When compared to ArcticCooling X2, the fins on CoolViva pro are rotated for 90 degrees, and as we said – this design allows air to be taken out of your PC.
There are three heat pipes incorporated in to the cooler's body, and the universal clip design allows you to mount this cooler on ATi or Nvidia cards. Fan has a rotational speed from 700 to 1800 rpm for pro and 1500-2000 rpm for pro 2. Both of the models make the same amount of noise at their top speed, about 20 dBA. Memory is cooled via small memory heatsinks.
Coolviva Z1 is a passive solution, compatible with Nvidia 8300 / 8400 / 8600 cards, and Ati medium end cards. Cooler comes with 8 smaller memory heatsinks. No info yet on the compatibility with newer ATi cards.
Cooler Master also introduced a new CPU cooler Mars2. It can be mounted on all modern age sockets, and is completely made out of copper (base and fins). To transfer heat more quickly, the cooler uses four heat pipes, and sleeve bearing fan is used to pump the air over the coolers surface. With 685g, the cooler is in heavyweight category.

Forums → Game Walkthroughs → Strike Force Heroes Complete Walkthrough
Level 1 "Under Siege"
All right this level is strait forward it take's place at the "Facility" so it is rather early .In this level you are automatically a Medic and you have to go through the training and learning the Keys. After you finish all that you will be fighting some of the unknowns four of them at a Team death Match you are against four of them. But you also get a level Sixteen partner. This level is easy because you start out with lots of ammo and it's a team death match of Fifteen kills. The best thing you can do is be a camper and and crouch behind the boxes on the bottom floor. And shoot who ever comes by. Your partner should deal with the rest.
Level 2 "Rebellion"
This level is taking place in the "Village" , my personally second favorite map. This level is yet another team death match but this time you will have plenty of team members . It is to Twenty Kills to win so it is also very easy. Best strategy for this game is to move around alot. I did circles around the whole map each circle coming across two ammo packages and a health package at the top of the map. Easiest hero to use on this map would probably be the tank if you are a beginner but this all depend on your personal reference. So just do circles around the map shoot who can and that's about it.
Level 3 Hijacked
This level obviously takes place on the "Hijack"map. And yet again it is a team death match. It is getting hard tho because now it is a Twenty-five kill team death match. This level I found most easier to do with the Assassin hero . If you are wanting to camp again I would go to the nose of the Cargo Ship at the **** pit. There is a Ammo package there to. But also look out there is a Spawn point there to so Some of the bad guy's can sneak there and kill you also. Watch the little tunnel to the **** pit. But if you do not kill enough enemies you mite end up behind on point's this means your occasionally going to have to leave the **** pit and kill a few people. Also I forgot when camping be sure not to fall off the front of the cargo ship.
Level 4 "Infection"
This level takes place in the "Caverns" my personal favorite map.
At the start of this match it is a team death match you and a partner against another team. But your partner does turn bad after a few moments. After that it is a free for all the enemy is attacking each other and you. Best character you can use her is the tank. Mainly because you will be taking lot's of fire and will need to deal lot's of damage. You can't really camp on this level as a beginner so wouldn't suggest trying. Your going to have to move around lot's to. It is fifteen kill to win. And the person you have to beat is the person with the highest kill point's other then you. So move around lot's and kill whoever you can. It can also be easy with the Assassin but you will have to be a it more careful about getting shot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------Level 5 "Siege Under"
This level takes place at the "Facility" in fact it is the same battle as level one except this time you are the soldier not the Doctor. I am not all to sure what the best character is for this level but I would probably have to say you should use a melee weapon. So assassin would probably work best with a melee weapon. It is a team death match you and your partner against for enemies just like level one but. The kills to win on this level is fifteen. But unlike level one you are the soldier so your going to have to do must the killing . Mainly because the doctor sucks at fighting and gets killed alot making it way harder.
Level 6 "The Cure"
This level takes place in the "Village" and it's a Domination match were you have to protect your flags . At the start of the game you have to go and raise all the flags but it is smarter not to . Because the enemies only starts attacking once all three of your flags are raised so don't raise any. Because the more time they aren't there the more time you get point from your flag that are already raised. But after a few moments your team mates will raise all three flags. Then the enemies will ambush you. But when they do you should already have atleast Twenty Five points and this match is to One-Hundred points. Now the best character you can use on this match is yet again the assassin with a melee weapon. Because you are going to need to protect your raised flags. And there going to be coming right up to the flag . So you can sit in front of the flag and they will come right up so you can melee attack them.
Level 7 "Intelligence"
This level take place in the "Foundry" and it's a Capture the flag match. This is one of my favorite type's of matches in the whole game. Anyways best character for this level is the "Tank" mainly because of high health . You are probably going to want to equip him with the skill boost called "Adrenalin" . Now in the match don't worry about your flag worry about there's run over there as fast as you can avoid all the enemies. Get the Flag or Case and run back to your Flag. Keep doing this till you have done all three. It is really easy and strait forward when you are the tank it helps even more when you equip your hero with a shield aswell.
Level 8 "Tropic Thunder"
This level takes place in the "Caverns" it's a team death match with Twenty Kills to win. This level is almost impossible to lose on because your team does most the work. But it still helps to kill some of the enemies and for that I was the Commando on this level. And I equipped my hero with any type of RPG.Also you could camp in this level with an assassin if you wanted to but it is still rather pointless.
Level 9 "Hide and Seek"
This level takes place at the "Facility" it's another domination match and as usual point to win are at One-Hundred . At first I thought this level would be easy and do the usual melee weapon strategy but this time it was way harder and did not work. So I equipped my assassin with the Jackal for this match and it was Super easy. Aside from health damage. You would get shot alot in this level because it is really small. But it isn't that bad . Because your partner will give out Kelvar Vest every one in a while.
Level 10 "The Return"
This level take place at the "Foundry" and it is a team death match with Thirty Kills to win. This level is really easy with your whole team they take care of a lot of it but you still have to do a fair amount of killing . Because as you kill them they call for back up after a while. For this level you can use any hero you like all of them work but you should probably use your best hero.
Level 11 "Plan B"
This level takes place on the "Dormant Train" it is another team death match with Twenty kills to win. I found this level tho really hard. So I leveled my Assassin a bit and equipped him with a Dragunov and that really help alot but it still is rather difficult for beginners. But it help's if you stay close to the Health package to heal lots. You also have to lots of killing because your team sucks on this level.
Level 12 "On Rails"
This level takes place on the "Speeding Train" it is a domination match with again One-Hundred Points to win. This level is easier then the last Domination match. Because this time melee works really well on this level. So I armed my assassin with a Baton . I did the Circle strategy on this level just doing circles around the map. Raising the flags when there down and grabbing health and ammo packages.
Level 13 "Boarding Action"
This level takes place on the "Drop Ship" it is a Team death match You against all and Fifteen points to win. This level I found is the hardest level in Campaign . There is no real strategy to it other then every time you die take down Atleast One or two Guy with you or they will win. I armed my assassin with the Dragunov but it took two try's to beat it.
Level 14 "One Final Effort"
This level takes place on "The Nuke" it is a domination map with again one-hundred points to win. This level is strait forward it has no strategy like the one before just try to kill everyone before they land from there parachutes . What also really helps on this match is the Kill Streak boost "Radar" or "Attack Helicopter"
I also used my Assassin with the Dragunov this time.
Level 15 "The Final Show Down"
This level is a one on one death match with Fifteen points to win . Surprisingly I found this level rather easy yet again using the assassin hero and the Dragonov. But really you could use any character of your choosing. Because it is really a strait forward match just kill the other guy
If you like my walkthrough help me out and check out my other walkthroughs I will be updating everything there . Thanks http://gamewalkthroughscheatstipssecrets.blogspot.ca/

This is just a few random tips on some of the challenges because most of them are just the average match.
Challenge 7 "Golf Season"
On this challenge there sort of an amazing glitch. Go to the back of the air craft, right by the tail. And consistently jump. You will notices the golfer will , Back up , then come closer , back up , then come closer. They will keep doing that because they are on melee and they will never hit you. Only problem is the Golfers Parachuting down they mite reach you so take of them when they come close. So it's a good idea to use a sniper or high explosives to take a few of them out at once on this match. Just definitely not a melee weapon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------Challenge 8 "Ninja Assault"
This level is really really easy with the "Vital Sight" skill equipped. Mainly because the invisible ninja's brake the beam and you know when to shoot. But what helps even more on this level is the "Radar" Kill streak equipped. Then you can find lots of them. But if you do not want to do the "Vital Sight" approach then you could just as easily sit at the nose of the ship where they can get no other angle on you and shoot with an automatic weapon constantly. Till you hit one of the ninja's but that takes a bit more time.
Challenge 13 "Hide and Seek"
All right this challenge is rather hard unless your patient. But what makes it way easier is the "Smoke Bomb" Kill streak equipped. Mainly because it will randomly send you some where else and it only requires one kill to activate. So as soon as you come out of hiding shoot the guy with a one kill weapon like a sniper. Kill him then active your "Smoke Bomb". You can even do it infront of alot of them because you will disappear.
whoa....you made this far...???
thanks for your effort to make this Walkthrough....
thanks men
No Problem , Thanks.
wow...well done
This is a very very good walkthrough thank you for this!
No prob
You got a same idea as mine in challenge#7 =] !
I hadn't know to use the Vital Sight in Challenge#8 until I saw your topic, thx ! But you forgot another method : It's the COMMANDO ! What's his advantage ? Lot's of ammo right ? Use a machine gun (Ammo feed is better) then just spread every shot in the air and at every corner you can slay many and many ! Moreover, the ninjas (ASSASSIN) have low health ! So this is totally work !
And about challenge#13, ... sorry man I don't even need a strong weapon like A.W.P. or Smoke Bomb to finish... ! Just get rid of them from a long distance (of course have to be alarmed against other enemies) !
Thanks for the tip dude . I'll be sure to try out the Commando strategy . Thanks. (:
Thanks for the tip I will be sure to Try the commando strategy out.
Level 13 "Boarding Action"
This level takes place on the "Drop Ship" it is a Team death match You against all and Fifteen points to win. This level I found is the hardest level in Campaign . There is no real strategy to it other then every time you die take down Atleast One or two Guy with you or they will win. I armed my assassin with the Dragunov but it took two try's to beat it.
Its more easy with a tank armed with a Striker
And its also easy to use the Commando armed with the minigun (or michine gun such as First blood)
Its more easy with a tank armed with a Striker
And its also easy to use the Commando armed with the minigun (or michine gun such as First blood)
Thanks for the Idea I haven't really tried to much with the Commando or tank . I just got My Medic and Assassin to level fifty. And I'm starting to get my Commando and Tank leveled up and that will be a great chance for me to try this. Thanks for the tip.
No problem.
and can you help me with challenge 8? pls the ninjas are invisable which makes me hardedr to kill them with the minigun.

I tryed that but fail
and can you help me with challenge 8? pls the ninjas are invisable which makes me hardedr to kill them with the minigun.
Well That's actually a tough one. If you cant do it that way you could equip your self with a melee weapon , and go to a spot on the ship were there is only one way to get at you. Then just keep swinging your melee weapon . If they try to come near you they due. That's best I can think of right now (:

Thanks Lil for the recipe, it looks good. Bonus is that it's WWs and has the associated points. I will give it a try.
Has anyone ever made the smores using the golden graham recipe?
also, refresh my memory for pimento cheese cause I've got a hankerin for some.
I very much believe in rescuing animals, not buying them.

My pimento cheese is one pound of sharp cheddar that I grate myself as the already grated stuff you buy doesn't work well for this.
1 of the small jars of diced pimentos with the juice and enough mayo to make it creamy and smooth. I may add a touch of salt and pepper and sometimes a dash of worchestershire sauce. It's better if it refrigerates overnight, but I never make it that long. I know some that add some grated onion to it, but I don't. I am a pimento cheese purist.
As for S'mores, I just make mine with a square of graham cracker, half a Hershey bar and a toasted marshmellow (you can toast them over the stove burner). OR, I will assemble with untoasted marshmellow and put in the microwave for 30 seconds or less.

Who Is Tiger Woods' Ahithophel?: One Who Is Close, but Who Tells His SecretsDecember 3, 2009
Too many times in history, we see that great and powerful men tumble downhill because they get bad advice and suffer bad consequences.
A historical example is found in 2 Sam. 16:21. Ahithophel strategically advised Absalom, the son of the great king, David. He told him:
"Sleep with your father's concubines whom he left to take care of the palace. Then all Israel will hear about how you have made your father despise you. Everyone who is with you will support you even more."
One thing is clear. Both Absalom and his father King David were not easily accessed because of their power. Men (or women) close to them would counsel them.
Now in the contemporary world of power and money, it is certainly clear that everyone could not get access to Tiger Woods. There is probably an "Ahithophel" near him. This person close to him may have even helped him get introduced and to have access to certain people.
The "Ahithophel" in Tiger Woods' life is someone the media needs to seek out.
Time and time again, great men fall from public grace because of their transgressions. Some go on with their lives. Some are forgiven.
The focus of this article is not Tiger Woods and his transgressions. Rather, the focus is on a question of "Who helped him gain access or who helped the women gain access to him?"
Why the media explosion in 2009? Was there someone who fed the story to the media in order to dismantle the powerful establishment built on the talents of Tiger Woods? I ask, again, "Why now?"
Whenever a story hits the internet or the major media, you can be certain that someone let it "leak" out. There is a reason hidden behind all of this surrounding the personal life of Tiger Woods.
In the historical example, someone was jealous and envied the position of David. That person gave poor counsel to David's son. The motive was to destroy David and to dismantle his power. The man who devised the scheme against David was the grandfather of the woman David so dearly loved. It was not enough for this man to know that his granddaughter would marry the king. He wanted more. He wanted the king's position and power.
Now in the world of golf might there be a "Ahithophel" who is jealous of Tiger Woods holding a prime position in the sports world. This man, in this scenario, would cover for Tiger and help him smoothly slip in and out of situations. Whoever this man (or woman is) would strategically leak out information on the great golfer, and thereby, start a hurricane of stories to disturb the career and household of Tiger Woods.
In modern vernacular, this man would say, "Go on man, have a little fun. I've got your back."
Later, he (or she) turns his back on Tiger Woods, and then releases the news of his alleged transgressions.
One story said that Woods had an affair for 31 months. Are you going to tell me that nobody knew about his coming and going during those 930 days. If there were 300 text messages then, according to the arithmetic, that is one message every three or four days.
Think about it like this: If someone is getting 300 text messages over, say, 930 days, surely someone saw him gazing over the cellphone, and zipping off to a rendezvous to meet a friend.
In fact, most women, while cleaning and arranging things at home, will "accidently" pick up their husband's phone and peek at it. So, are you telling me that his indiscretions were not discovered earlier than Nov. 2009?
Just a thought. More importantly, it is an opinion.

Originally posted on Fox Sports Ohio | Last updated 6/16/12
CLEVELAND (AP) -- A.J. Burnett became the first Pittsburgh pitcher since 1990 to win six straight starts and Pedro Alvarez homered twice as the Pirates beat the Cleveland Indians 9-2 Saturday. Burnett (7-2) gave up two runs over 6 2-3 innings. He extended the best stretch by a Pirates pitcher since Doug Drabek won six in a row during his NL Cy Young Award-winning season. Casey McGehee homered and drove in four runs and Alvarez had three RBIs as the Pirates snapped a four-game losing streak. McGehee broke a 2-all tie with a two-run homer off Ubaldo Jimenez (6-5) in the sixth. Cleveland's Michael Brantley went 0 for 3 with a walk, halting the majors' longest hitting streak this season at 22 games. The last Pirates pitcher to win six straight decisions was rookie Zach Duke in 2005. He did it over eight starts to open his career 6-0. Burnett had not been successful at Progressive Field until handing the Indians their fourth loss in five games. He came in 1-5 with a 6.75 ERA in six previous starts in Cleveland. The right-hander walked four and gave up six hits, including homers to Asdrubal Cabrera in the first and Casey Kotchman in the fifth. He worked out of two jams. After Cabrera's homer made it 1-0, Cleveland put two runners on later in the first. Johnny Damon then hit a blooper to short right field, but second baseman Neil Walker made a tumbling, over-the-shoulder catch for the third out. In the sixth, Cleveland loaded the bases on singles by Cabrera and Jason Kipnis along with Damon's two-out walk. Burnett got Shelley Duncan to pop out to end that threat. Alvarez tied it in the second with his ninth homer. He added a two-run shot in the ninth off Nick Hagadone. That came after McGehee's two-out, two-run blooper to right made it 7-2. The Pirates got a run on three straight one-out singles off Jimenez in the third. Garrett Jones' run-scoring hit made it 2-1 before Jimenez got McGehee to ground into an inning-ending double play. Three innings later, McGehee hit his third homer -- all in his last eight starts. He is hitting .440 (11 of 25) the last two weeks against right-handers. Presley made it 5-2 in the seventh with his fourth homer, off reliever Tony Sipp. It was the fifth homer allowed by Sipp in his last 22 innings. Jimenez gave up seven hits and four runs over six innings. The right-hander had allowed only two earned runs in two previous starts this month after struggling in May, when he had a 6.75 ERA six starts. NOTES: Cleveland manager Manny Acta would not comment on whether the team has interest in ex-Indians slugger Manny Ramirez, released by Oakland. He deferred to general manager Chris Antonetti, who replied in an email that club policy is not to comment on specific players. The Indians' lefty-laden lineup is hitting .217 against left-handed pitchers. Ramirez, 40, is a .335 career hitter against lefties. ... Indians DH Travis Hafner, who had right knee surgery May 24, is hitting off a tee and said he hopes to start a rehab assignment "in two weeks". ... Pirates RHP Jeff Karstens, out since April 18 with right shoulder inflammation, is scheduled to begin a rehab Tuesday at Double-A Altoona. ... Damon's walk was the 1,000th of his career. He is 114th all-time.

Well guess it's fair.
Oh my god.
Heroic Leap is just amazing, if it would WORK for once. The option between duel wielding 2-handers or 1-handers will make things viable. But the downside is to actually calculate how much DPS loss is gained by choosing 1-handed over 2-handed. I cried when I saw this, because I simply LOVE having quick blades.
The rage-regeneration plan looks simply awesome, to the fact that having 100-rage results in DPS gain and less rage loss. The gushing wound should be a PVP thing, I don't see it happen in raids unless there is a kiteboss.
A quick few words, and OMG TY FOR THE THREAT REDUCEMENT IN THE FURY TREE <3 Stacking Sunder Armor means doing DPS + Losing threat is godlike!

Now I just want a stormstrike like thing for fury, maybe make it require two 1h's since it's probably silly with 2 2h's. In that case Titan Grip people should get something to, no idea what though.

whats the point of releasing an expansion blizz. just release a bunch of new BGs/arenas as that all you seem to care about.
tbh shammies are the only fun sounding pve class announced so far. rest are jsut basically gonna be the same.
Cool stuff, i am glad they're making sundering less painful and getting rid of 50% MS.
Unless I'm mistaken, I think it just reads that it's reducing the threat of Sunder Armor by 100%, so that you can use it as a dps ability and armor reducer without adding additional threat.Originally Posted by Furylicious
I'm kind of wondering about gushing wound. I can see fury/arms warriors now.. asking the tank to kite mobs a bit to get it stacked up!
Arms and Prot changes sound awesome. Fury... eh. We'll see. Nothing exciting though. And I don't really see "Single-Minded Fury" working out. It's cool in concept, but hopefully they can pull it off right, or else one of the two weapons types will always be better than the other, and no one will ever spec into the other one.

Seligmann Receives CAS Award for Scholarship
Posted: July 11, 2005 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) has chosen Linda J. Seligmann, professor of anthropology, to receive the 2005 CAS Award for Scholarship. She is the 10th recipient of the award, which is given as part of the annual Celebration of Scholarship in recognition of research contributions.
Seligmann will deliver her scholarly lecture titled "Transnational Adoption and the Changing Faces of the American Family" on Wednesday, Sept. 21, at 6:30 p.m. in the Johnson Center Cinema. She will discuss the remarkable increase in transracial and transnational adoptions in the United States over the last decade, and how it has made an impact on assumptions about family formation, race, and cultural identity.
A specialist in the Andean region of Latin America, Seligmann's major publications include Peruvian Street Lives: Culture, Power, and Economy among Market Women of Cuzco, part of the Interpretations of Culture in the New Millennium series University of Illinois Press; Women Traders in Cross-Cultural Perspective: Mediating Identities, Marketing Wares (edited volume); and Between Reform and Revolution: Political Struggles in the Peruvian Andes, 1969-1991.
The Celebration of Scholarship was established in 1997 to recognize the talent of the faculty and to unite them in celebration of their significant achievements. As part of the celebration, CAS invites participants to attend a dinner preceding the lecture at 5:30 p.m. in the Johnson Center's Dewberry Hall.
For more information or to RSVP, please contact the CAS Dean's Office or call 703-993-8733. For more details, visit the CAS web site.

China Beach or Hoi An Beach?
China Beach or Hoi An Beach?
Hi All,
I will be in the Danang/ Hoi An area in the first week of November.
I've been looking at accommodation and want to stay somewhere beachy (I dont mind spending up to around $150US a night). I cant decide between China Beach or Hoi An beach? Which is the better of the two locations? Gathering that the weather may not be ideal at that time of year, I'd prefer to stay somewhere with more activities/easy distance for day trips etc.
#1 LindaLovelace has been a member since 29/4/2010. Location: Australia. Posts: 6
Honestly, it's really the same beach. China Beach , as I understand, is just the nickname for the section of beach between Danang and Hoi An , and the beach just next to Hoi An has a different name, but it's all one strip of sand that is similar the whole way. I went up and down that stretch a handful of times a few months ago, and it all looks nice.
So you should really just look at the specific map locations for hotels you are looking at, as those two terms are probably just English-language marketing addresses rather than actual addresses.
The "China Beach" stretch has hotels that are more spread apart, including a few new ones currently being built. I'd imagine that if you were staying at one of those places you'd be tempted to stay there the whole time since most of them aren't even walking distance apart. And seriously there is nothing else around there for tourists, or even locals. (It's prone to flooding so people live farther inland)
On the other hand, the beach just near Hoi An has several similar resorts on it, but they are next to each other, and there is quite a nice little village there with a few different bars and restaurants plus a public beach. If your hotel is reasonably close to that cluster I'd think you'd have many more options for everything.
Also, Hoi An itself is a wonderful (and touristy) city that you'll want to explore, and probably try some restaurants in, for sure. So I might look for one of those resorts nearest that cluster of things close to Hoi An, unless you prefer the solitude of the China Beach stretch.

I agree that Hoi An 's Cua Dai beach has it all over China Beach, but Cua Dai is somewhat isolated from Hoi An Town - too isolated for me. When I'm in Hoi An, I prefer staying in town and then cycling down to Cua Dai when I want beach time.

I just took a moto taxi from Hoi An to Cu dai beach for 15000 dong...Cue dai beach was great.

Thanks for your help! I feel a little daft that I didnt realise it was all one stretch of beach!
Managed to find a good deal for the Golden Sands at Cua Dai Beach! Cant wait - all I have to do now is pray for good weather!

November is the middle of monsoon season in Central Vietnam - so expect rough weather, rain & storms. Every year getting rougher! Good for surfing if you can find a surf board to rent! not much else.

It was beautiful and hot here in Seattle today and now it's a pleasant 55 with a breeze.
It was beautiful and hot here in Seattle today and now it's a pleasant 55 with a breeze.
Nobody has air conditioning here, so you'd probably love the summers, but it rains for days on end in the winter.
It got over 90 today. I mean yesterday. I don't know what it is now cuz we have the air going, thank God! Sleeping last night was miserable.
OK, it's 90 frickin' degrees. Over 100 with the humidex. That's just wrong! Thunderstorms are rolling in now, maybe that will cool things down. (I've always believed Canada should be snow-covered all year round. )
Would anyone care to have some of this cold, foggy, grey weather lingering outside my window?
Whatever happened to the nice weather we had in March and April?
It's pretty here today. Not as warm, but no wind.
Hot, Cloudy, some grey clouds building up, maybe a short rain coming up
I'm with all of the Californians on WHERE IS MY STINKIN SUN! School is officially over and now it's time to go to the beach!

Gardner fills in for Callahan to win Battle of Bats
KIMBERLY, Wis. – Entering the finals of the Battle of the Bats competition seven players were within two home runs of each other and when it was all said and done it was an at-large alternate that took home the prize.
The Rockford Thunder's Lindsay Gardner, filling in for Tonya Callahan who was unable to attend due to the start of school, entered the night with 18 home runs on the season. After a solid first round in which she hit five home runs, she trailed Washington's Oli Keohohou by just one. In the second round, Keohohou who was swinging the DeMarini Phenix, clubbed four home runs to take her season total to 28. This set the stage for Gardner. Gardner, who used a Worth Mutant in the competition, needed six home runs to win and she did one better with seven to win 30-28.
The most impressive rounds of the night were put in by 2008 Offensive Player of the Year Jaime Clark who hit seven with the Mizuno bat, Keohohou who hit 11 and Akron's Kate Robinson who also hit seven.
Wilson, maker of the DeMarini bat line, was awarded the manufacturers trophy after its players hit 104 total home runs on the season. Worth players hit 93 to finish second and Mizuno and Combat finished third and fourth with 60 and 58 home runs, respectively.
Individual Top 5

The top four teams will begin postseason play on Friday evening in Kimberly, Wis. The first seed Chicago Bandits will take on the No. 4 seed New England Riptide in game one at 6 p.m. Game two of the night will be No. 2 seed Philadelphia Force and the No. 3 seed Washington Glory scheduled to start at approximately 8:45 p.m. CDT.
