Don't forget those in need this year
Very soon we'll be sitting down with loved ones and friends for a homemade turkey dinner with all the fixings.
Thanksgiving – it is one of our country's longstanding traditions, and it reminds us how thankful we truly are.
Unfortunately, that's not always the case given the lagging economy in the past several years. The number of families struggling to put food on the table on a daily basis continues to grow.
To help counteract this, luckily, there are places such as the Urban Mission Ministries in Steubenville, Mingo Social Services, the Community Bread Basket in Weirton and the Salvation Army food pantry in Wellsburg, to name a few. These agencies are so vital in our communities, and we're asking you to donate food, dollars or time during the upcoming holiday season.
Each year at this time the area's food pantries set goals to fill baskets for families in need. For example, the Urban Mission set a goal of filling approximately 1,300 baskets for families last Thanksgiving. That's how many families were in need, unfortunately, and we're sure that number has grown.
The baskets, which are actually large bags of food items, are designed to help a family in need for two weeks, or through the end of the month. And with Christmas coming soon after, the need for monetary donations as well as food donations and volunteers just keeps growing.
Let's face it. Soon we'll be wrapped up in the holiday season with shopping, family get-togethers, holiday school concerts and other events on our minds. So we're asking now that you don't let the hustle and bustle of the holiday season consume you this year. Instead, take a closer look at your family and friends, neighbors or even the average passerby. Many are struggling through unemployment and may be finding it hard to take care of their basic needs. They may have to choose between putting food on the table or taking prescription medicine – spending money to heat their home or buying a few holiday gifts for their children.
Thankfully there are area agencies that help bridge the gap and offer those with needs a little breathing room.
Please dig deeper this year, Upper Ohio Valley residents, as the need is there more than ever before. A donation of money, canned goods or precious time really will go far.
Remember, it soon will be the season of perpetual giving.

The Cleveland Browns should have their best defensive player back for Sunday's AFC North matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Cornerback Joe Haden, who was sidelined last week with an oblique injury, practiced Friday for a third consecutive day and said he'll play this weekend, according to The Plain Dealer.
"(I'm) 90 percent," Haden said. "It's good enough. I can do everything."
Haden and Sheldon Brown likely will be the Browns' starting cornerbacks against the Steelers.
Haden injured the oblique during practice last Wednesday and sat out the Browns' 23-20 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys despite traveling with the team to Texas. Haden's loss was felt, as Buster Skrine struggled in his place before leaving the game with a concussion. Skrine returned to practice Friday and also said he'll play Sunday.
Haden missed four of the Browns' first five games this season for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. The Browns are 0-5 when Haden isn't on the field for them this season.

Golfer Rory McIlroy vs. The Robot [Video]
I'm not the biggest golfing fan, I play from time to time. However, you don't have to be a golfing fan to get a kick out of this video. PGA and European Tour member, Rory McIlroy, has beaten some of the best golfers on the planet. So, for his latest European Tour challenge, he's up against a robot as he tries to hit the balls into washing machines.
But let's be honest, it is more of a Golf Laboratory Computer Controlled Hitting Machine. Take a look to see how he does, and how smart of a vocal processor but I believe we call them mouths, the robot has as well.

Elliott Management's Paul Singer wants $250 million from Argentina in one week, MercoPress reports.
Singer suffered a set-back in his years long legal battle with the country last week, when an Appeals Court disagreed with an earlier ruling by Judge Thomas Griesa. Griesa had ruled that Argentina would have to pay Singer and other investors in its sovereign debt all of the over $1 billion the country owes them.
Argentina refuses to pay these "vulture funds" because they didn't restructure debt in 2005 and 2010 when they had the chance.
Had Griesa's ruling held, Argentina would be shelling out $3 billion to investors by December 15th. However, the Appeals Court thought the decision was unfair to the majority of bond holders (exchange bond holders) that did restructure and take a haircut because Argentina may jilt them in an effort to avoid paying Singer.
So that's the hot topic of discussion in sovereign debt circles right now — what's the point of restructuring if a guy like Singer can win a knock-down drag out legal battle and not take any kind of loss?
As this is all being sorted out, though, Singer isn't sitting around and waiting until another ruling in February. Late on Friday his lawyers asked the Court to force Argentina to make a $250 million by December 10th.
But here's the thing: Argentina isn't paying Singer on principle, not because it doesn't have the money. So even though $250 million is just a fraction of what the holdouts are owed (Singer's fund is owed $665 million), it's doubtful that they'll want to pay one red cent of that until...
Until, as Bloomberg reports, the country is done contacting all the holdouts to see if they'll agree to restructure their debt along 2010 terms. This has to be done by February 27th. If the investors somehow agree (to terms they've already rejected before) Argentina has indicated that it would be happy to pay up.
But without that agreement, the country will likely remain as steadfast as ever.
"Even the taxi drivers know who Elliott is and curse them," said one New York investor who participated in the debt exchanges in 2005 and 2010.
All that means is that Singer may be setting himself (and the Court) up for disappointment on this one.
So we'll see how the deal making works. A source close to the situation told Reuters that Singer would likely accept a combination of bonds and cash to settle all this.
We'd be staying clear of Argentine bonds if we were him.

Luke Bryan Faces Heartbreak in New Video
Luke Bryan's new video for 'I Don't Want This Night to End' is more like a mini movie than just another music video. The music even stops mid-video in favor of some dialogue, and the action ends with a "to be continued" cliffhanger.
The video for this contemplative semi-ballad follows the singer sometimes shunning his usual baseball cap and his fun, upbeat demeanor in favor of the leading man role. We see the serious and "actorly" side of Luke Bryan. Who knew he had it in him? He's quite the likable protagonist.
There are scenes of the singer recording the song in the studio spliced with footage of him embroiled in poker hot, passion fueled brand-new romance. He is hanging around a fire and meets a redhead who rocks his world to its core. They literally enact the chorus at first. She's a hot girl with her hands up, rocking in his truck with the wind and her hands raking through her flame-hued locks. He's driving in the dark of night with an ear-to-ear grin — clearly a man who is smitten.
She then hops in and sits next to him to nuzzle and cuddle. Next, he carries her across a big puddle in the road. They fall in, splash and smooch. The video highlights the type of blossoming, reckless romance which consumes you — you become so immersed in it that nothing else matters.
They play hoops in an abandoned barn until the music stops and the dialogue starts. Bryan prods her, saying, "I want to know where you are from" as they cuddle and clasp hands. She is cagey and refuses to answer, intimating that where she is from is not where she wants to be, nor is it as important as where she is at and that's with him. He invites her to a show, promising to leave a ticket for her. She wants to focus on the here and now, and it's all very romantic.
The ginger gal leaves in the middle of the night, and then the action cuts to Bryan, who is wrapping the song in the studio. He tells one of his associates that he's ready to get back on the road and is "fired up" about his new tunes and album. He then asks his colleague for a favor. He says, "I need you to leave me a ticket for somebody," and "to be continued" flashes on the screen.
The romance is not over for Luke Bryan just because the 'I Don't Want This Night to End' video ends.

We all try and do our part, Right? Help the environment, recycle, upcycle.
(If Your a crafter Upcycle is your favorite!)
Well I try to do my little part. I am kind of a water brat. I will not drink from the tap. It tastes a little weird. Maybe its from my Flight Attendant days. Not quite sure.
(I flew back in my glory days of no kids or responsibility. What a fantastic job. Just me, myself and I. Sometimes I miss those days.)
We always drank bottled water. Especially on the airplane.
Well no more.
I love these new cups with lids. My girlfriend turned me onto them about 2 years ago. I love them. They are convenient and easy. I find that I drink more water and feel better.
I had just one hang up. I could not drink anything but water in them.
The whole bacteria in the straw that I can't clean easily. Kind of Creeps me out.
So I gave them up for a bit.
I knew I wanted them back in my life so I came up with an easy method to clean that straw and keep the creeps out.
Pipe cleaner
Fold one end of the pipe cleaner about 1 inch.
This may vary depending on the circumference of your straw.
You may need to fold it over twice.
Dab a dot of dish soap on the folded end of the Pipe Cleaner.
I use Hot water to flush the straw out then stick the Pipe Cleaner in the straw.
Twist, Turn and Pull in and out until your straw is to your standards.
You may have to do this to the other end if your pipe cleaner does not reach the end.
Rinse well with hot water and all clean.
No more gross things growing in your straw.
Quick, Easy and Cheap.
I kind of have a collection. One for the car, the kitchen, the craft room and my bedroom. I picked up a few after Halloween for $2. Yeah, for me.
These also make fantastic gifts for Co-workers, teachers or family.
Here are a few ideas. For gift giving ideas!
This is also a great way to clean your sippy cups if you have toddlers!
This is also a great way to clean your sippy cups if you have toddlers!
So buy a cup (They are only about $5), clean the straw (I just showed you how) and help save the Planet.
. Fill them with a fun little treat (and a pipe cleaner) and you are ready to go.
Easy Peasy!
Thanks for Looking.
. Fill them with a fun little treat (and a pipe cleaner) and you are ready to go.

Schanzenviertel is a lively neighbourhood in Hamburg that is very popular with young, trendy shoppers. 'Schanze' is the perfect place to shop for Hamburg's latest designer labels, look for a rare vinyl record or nab some great 1980s vintage bargains. Great news for hungry shoppers; this neighbourhood also boasts a very high density of restaurants. You will find everything from curry bratwurst to haute cuisine.
Schanzenviertel's charm hovers between trendy and alternative. Today this is a very wealthy and attractive residential neighbourhood, but in the past it was known as the 'communist stronghold' of Hamburg. Yet the neighbourhood has preserved some of its edginess with an independent vibe, which explains the high percentage of independent boutiques, record stores, used bookstores and art galleries.
The name of the store says it all: Wie es Euch gefällt ('As you like it') offers something for every fashionista. The spacious store with bright colourful wallpaper exudes a relaxed holiday vibe; it seems only natural to pause for a coffee or tea as you try on some clothes. The playful, unique and exciting work of young national and international designers includes clothing and jewellery for every budget.
Wie es Euch gefällt, Juliusstraße 16, Hamburg
An amazing supply of vinyl records and CDs – for a classic German tune or a powerful local techno recording, head to Hanseplatte. Everything in this record store is 'made in Hamburg' – a perfect spot to find an original souvenir. For a hearty lunch or a cup of coffee, visit the neighbours across the street: Karo Ecke has a lovely patio under the trees.
Hanseplatte, Neuer Kamp 32, Hamburg
Hot Dogs only sells authentic vintage clothing from the 1970s and 1980s. In addition to floral shirts and bell-bottomed jeans, the shop also offers a lot of sports clothing. How about a flashy tracksuit, vintage sweat bands or bright pink gymnastics leotards? If all this shopping has made you hungry, just walk down to Café Klatsch and order a delicious all-day breakfast.

Gray Imports
|Gray Imports
Frank Tenpenny informing Carl Johnson about a deal between the Russian Mafia and the Ballas.
|GTA San Andreas
Russian Mafia
|Market, Los Santos, San Andreas
|Russian man escapes
Gray Imports is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to the protagonist Carl Johnson by the C.R.A.S.H. team from the Jim's Sticky Ring donut shop in Market, Los Santos, San Andreas.
CJ goes to the Ocean Docks where the Ballas and Russians are having a deal. He needs to get in the office where everything is going on, so he heads into the warehouse by destroying the keypad next to the gate for this which will open the gate and three mechanics with SMGs start to fire at him. He kills all of them and kills more Russians and Ballas behind a barrier inside. He heads up stairs where there is a Balla waiting for him that he kills then follows the Russian who if escapes, will head for a Banshee where CJ chases him and successfully kills him.
Eddie Pulaski: Carl!
Carl Johnson: Damn!
(CJ turns over and is about to go but Pulaski grabs him by the collar)
Frank Tenpenny: Where you off to?
Carl Johnson: Shit!
Frank Tenpenny: Where you running off to, Carl, I thought we were friends?!
Carl Johnson: Yeah, whatever...
Frank Tenpenny: As an officer in charge of putting an end to gang violence, I find myself in a difficult moral position, Carl.
Carl Johnson: Yeah, right.
Frank Tenpenny: Carl, I'm hurt, I truly am. And just as I was about to help those poor Grove Street boys.
Carl Johnson: Oh, yeah? How?
Frank Tenpenny: I like the status quo, Carl. I like having all you bastards doing my job for me - blowing each other's guts all over the sidewalk.
Carl Johnson: Dumb bastards?
Frank Tenpenny: Now, if it's brought to my attention that one tribe gets an unfair advantage over another, that truly troubles me, Carl.
Carl Johnson: So what you saying, man?
Frank Tenpenny: I'm saying the Ballas have brains, Carl, they watch the news. I'm saying they're making friends, cutting deals, and tooling up for more than half-assed drive-bys. Lots of cheap guns coming into America since the fall of the wall, Carl.
(Tenpenny heads to the passenger door)
Carl Johnson: Man, cut that bullshit, Tenpenny - just say what you mean, man.
Frank Tenpenny: Go check out a bust freight warehouse down the docklands and you'll see what I mean, Carl.
Carl Johnson: Yeah, okay.
(Tenpenny gets in the police car)
Eddie Pulaski: Y'all take care, now!
Carl Johnson: For sure.
Fireproof/Explosionproof cars
During this mission the player can turn his/her car Fireproof/Explosion proof by going into the red marker while still in the car. Note that if a bulletproof vehicle is driven in the marker, it will lose its qualities and pick these up.
- During the mission a Russian dealer calls Carl Johnson "Amerikasky", but this is incorrect. In the Russian language "American" and "American man" are the different words, so right variant sounds like "Amerikanets". Also, the degoratory word is "Amerikashka".
- Immediately after the end of the cutscene, a Banshee driven by a random pedestrian will appear. It has the particularity of having much higher health than a regular car, making it suitable to resist bullets from the first wave of grunts for drive-by or ramming/running-over methods. Watch out for explosive barrels though, they will make short work of the car.

Unlike some operating systems, UNIX was designed from the beginning to be used by more than one person. Like all multiuser systems, UNIX keeps track of who owns what file and who can do what with each file. Permissions attached to each file and directory determine who can use them.
Permissions come in three types:
- Read permission: Enables you to look at a file or directory. You can use cat or a text editor to see what's in a file that has read permission. You also can copy this type of file. Read permission for a directory enables you to list the directory's contents.
- Write permission: Enables you to make changes to a file. Even if you can write (change) a file, you can't necessarily delete it or rename it; for those actions, you must be able to write in the directory in which the file resides. If you have write permission in a directory, you can create new files in the directory and delete files from it.
- Execute permission: Enables you to run the program contained in the file. The program can be a real program or a shell script. If the file doesn't contain a program, execute permission doesn't do you much good and can provoke the shell to complain bitterly as it tries (from its rather dim point of view) to make sense of your file. For a directory, execute permission enables you to open files in the directory and use cd to get to the directory to make it your working directory.
Rock groups, pop groups, and UNIX groups
Every UNIX user is a member of a group. When the system administrator created your username, she assigned you to a group. To see which group you're in, type id.
You see something like this:
uid=113(margy) gid=102(guest) groups=102(guest),101(book), 103(cheese)
Groups usually indicate the kind of work you do. UNIX uses groups to give a bunch of people (the accounting department, for example) the same permissions to use a set of files. All the people who work on a particular project are usually in the same group so that they can look at and perhaps change each other's files.
In Linux and BSD, you can be in several groups at a time, which is handy if you're working on several projects. To find out what groups you're in, type groups.
That's mine!
Every file and directory has an owner and a group owner. The owner is usually the person who made the file or directory, although the owner can sometimes change the ownership of the file to someone else. The group owner is usually the group to which the owner belongs, although the owner can change a file's group owner to another group.
Who can do what?
To see who can do what to a file, use the ls command with the -l option. Type this line:
ls -l myfile
You see something like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 margy staff 335 Jan 22 13:23 myfile
If you don't specify a filename (in this case, myfile), UNIX lists all the files in the directory, which is often more useful. For every file, this listing shows all the following information:
- Whether it's a file, symbolic link, or directory. The first character in the line is a hyphen (-) if it's a file, an l if it's a symbolic link, and a d if it's a directory.
- Whether the owner can read, write, or execute it (as shown by the next three characters, 2 through 4, on the line). The first character is an r if the owner has read permission or a hyphen (-) if not. The second character is a w if the owner has write permission or a hyphen (-) if not. The third character is an x (or sometimes an s) if the owner has execute permission or a hyphen (-) if not.
- Whether the members of the group owner can read, write, or execute the file or directory (as indicated by the next three characters, 5 through 7). An r, w, or x appears if that permission is granted; a hyphen (-) appears if that permission is not granted.
- Whether everyone else can read, write, or execute the file or directory (as indicated by the next three characters, 8 through 10). An r, w, or x appears if that permission is granted; a hyphen (-) appears if that permission is not granted.
- The link count, that is, how many links (names) this file has. For directories, this number is the number of subdirectories the directory contains plus 2 (don't ask).
- The owner of the file or directory.
- The group to which the file or directory belongs (group owner).
- The size of the file in bytes (characters).
- The date and time the file was last modified.
- The filename — at last!
Permissions by number
It's not too difficult to figure out which permissions a file has by looking at the collection of rs, ws, and xs in the file listing. Sometimes permissions are written another way, however: with numbers. Only UNIX programmers could have thought of this method. (It's an example of lazy typists at their finest.) Numbered permissions are sometimes called absolute permissions (perhaps because they are absolutely impossible to remember).
When permissions are expressed as a number, it's a 3-digit number. The first digit is the owner's permissions, the second digit is the group's permissions, and the third digit is everyone else's permissions. Every digit is a number from 0 to 7. Table 1 lists what the digits mean.

To make one for the toddler in your life you'll need:
12- 1 1/2" wood discs
wool felt in 6 different colors
Heat N' Bond
To begin, simply adhere Heat N' Bond to the wool felt. With the paper backing still attached to the felt, cut 2 shapes from each color. Next remove the paper backing and iron the shapes to the wood discs.
Tip: make sure your iron is on the "no steam" setting. It took about 25 seconds of direct heat for the Heat N' Bond to adhere to the wood discs.
This is a simple + quick project that will bring your children hours of educational fun. Yay!

4 Career Lessons from American Olympians
Adam Starr | NonProfitPeople
Shani Davis: Your Career Doesn't Have to Be Conventional
A gold medalist in both the Torino and Vancouver Olympics, Shani Davis made history in Italy when he became the first African-American to win an individual gold medal in the Winter Games.
A speed skater from Chicago, Davis' unlikely journey started out as a toddler gliding along on roller skates. He skated so fast and so well that he replaced his wheels with blades at just six years old. By 16, Davis decided that he wanted to make the Olympic team. Ten years later, his lifetime of dedication has paid off enormously.
Your career, doesn't have to be traditional. Davis' story reminds us that by tenaciously staying on track, our goals are realizable over the long-term. Davis is a trailblazer; he didn't wait for others to go before him. Had he followed convention, he may never have tried out for the Olympics, let alone win multiple medals.
Remember: it's your dream.
Don't let anyone tell you that you can't achieve something just because nobody else has.

That Innocent Little Thumb Drive Could Be Big Security Trouble
Aug 1, 2014 11:03 AM PT
USB flash drives could be at risk of a pernicious attack on their firmware.
Over the past two decades, USB devices, aka "thumb drives," have proliferated all over the world, because USB has proven to be a versatile standard. That versatility, though, also makes USB devices vulnerable to what could be a very nasty firmware attack by hackers, noted Karsten Nohl and Jakob Lell of Secure Research Labs.
Since different device classes can plug into the same connectors, one type of device can turn into a more capable or malicious type without a user noticing, they explained.
To turn one device type into another, they continued, USB controller chips in peripherals need to be reprogrammed. Very widely spread USB controller chips, including those in thumb drives, have no protection against reprogramming.
The device can be reprogrammed to do a number of malevolent things, such as emulate a keyboard and issue commands to the system it's plugged into, spoof a network card and redirect traffic from an infected system to a data thief's lair, or plant malware on a machine's operating system or BIOS before it boots.
Paranoia Strikes Deep
So far, the researchers have tested their firmware attack only on USB stick drives -- a test they'll be demonstrating at the Black Hat conference next week in Las Vegas. However, all USB devices could be at risk -- even those built into a computer.
"Built-in webcams are usually connected over USB," Nohl told TechNewsWorld. "What do you do if you have a suspicion that there's malware in that webcam? Do you break off that part of your computer?"
"You can see how nothing can be trusted anymore after one of these connected devices are infected," he added.
Infected devices are almost impossible to disinfect.
"You always require the help of the current firmware to change it," Nohl said, "so even if you tried to replace the infected firmware with clean firmware, the modified firmware could ignore it or store it someplace while continuing to run the modified version."
What's more, identifying the infection is also almost impossible, because malware scanners typically don't scan firmware for malicious programming.
Although you might see symptoms of malware on your computer, you can never know what's causing them.
"This has the potential to lead to a lot of paranoia. It's like a disease where you can only detect the symptoms and not the virus causing it," Nohl said.
Secure Stick
"Consumers should always ensure their devices are from a trusted source and that only trusted sources interact with their devices," said Liz Nardozza, spokesperson for the USB Implementers Forum.
"In order for a USB device to be corrupted, the offender would need to have physical access to the USB device. To prevent the spread of malware, consumers should only grant trusted sources with access to their USB devices," she advised.
The current USB standard includes additional security capabilities, but implementation of those capabilities is up to makers of USB devices.
"Greater capabilities of any product likely results in higher prices, and consumers choose on a daily basis what they are willing to pay to receive certain benefits," Nardozza said.
There are USB stick drives in the market with such added security capabilities, and their makers say the devices are immune to a firmware attack.
A stick drive that skirts the typical USB boot-up procedure is offered by Kanguru Solutions, for example.
"When it's plugged into the machine, it launches its own application," Kanguru President and CEO Don Brown told TechNewsWorld. "It doesn't run the standard USB firmware."
Don't Worry - Yet
Another company that makes a USB stick with security capabilities is IronKey.
"Any of the firmware on our devices is always digitally signed by us," said IronKey Executive Director of Engineering Ken Jones.
"Nothing can go on that device unless it's signed," he told TechNewsWorld. "We did that because we didn't want someone getting in and putting something on there that shouldn't be on there."
Users have no immediate cause for worry about the researchers' findings, maintained Robert Capps, senior director for customer success at RedSeal Networks.
"Based on the details that have come to light so far, this vulnerability does not appear to be simple to operationalize due to the variety of devices, chipsets and firmware that must be targeted to enable a wide-reaching and successful attack," he told TechNewsWorld.
What is concerning, however, is the potential the attack could have on the product supply chain, Capps pointed out.
"Devices can be manufactured with the compromise already embedded in the hardware," he said. "There are no good methods for most consumers or businesses to identify compromised hardware."

The evergreen appeal of Frank Capra's film classic, "It's a Wonderful Life," about a despairing Everyman who learns that his life has had profound meaning, translates not only to frequent TV airings during the holiday season, but to numerous live stagings.
Joe Landry's "Live Radio Play" adaptation, touring the country since the 1990s, has pretty much dominated recent theatrical territory, but that hasn't closed the door to other dramatized versions of the classic. Giving it a go locally: Theatre Unleashed, reprising its own 2011 radio-themed staging, "KAWL Presents 'It's a Wonderful Life': A Radio Play for the Stage," at the Missing Piece Theatre in Burbank.
In company member Jim Martyka's adaptation, directed by Erin Scott, failing 1940s-era radio station KAWL is putting on what looks to be its last broadcast, an in-studio Christmas performance of "It's a Wonderful Life," starring Henry Fonda and Ginger Rogers. When the headliners don't show up, station owner Michael (Martyka) and his long-suffering girlfriend and assistant Melanie (Katie Sikkema) fill in as George and Mary Bailey. The rest of the "It's a Wonderful Life" cast members include tippling Victor (Carlos Martinez, too often stuck with slurring through his multiple roles), and a seemingly homeless "Man Off the Street" (Jacob Smith), recruited at the last minute to play George's redemptive angel Clarence.
Regrettably, Martyka's play-within-a-play, radio station framework is the weakest part of the show. Despite vintage looking microphones and costumes suggesting 1940s fashions, and despite some fine Christmas carol harmonies from the "KAWL Radio Girls" — Julia Plostnieks, Heather Lake and Jenn Scuderi — there is little sense of time and place when the cast portrays the radio station's "real life" personas during supposed commercial breaks and before and after the "broadcast." Beth Wallan, as radio star Frannie McGinn and as Mother Bailey, is an exception, giving both characters vintage substance and twinkle.
Silent stage business from Dain Ouradnik, who opens the show as a shy janitor readying the radio studio, is too prolonged. Corey Lynn Howe and Alicia Reyes, who have no "It's a Wonderful Life" characters to boost their stage presence, operate a lackluster sound effects table. Dialogue about the financial woes of the station and about Michael's delay in offering Melanie a marriage proposal is delivered with expository haste and with an unconvincing lack of awareness that the studio audience can hear the exchanges. Repeated reminders that the station is "on the air" during these exchanges simply telegraph that the station's eventual salvation will mirror the heartwarming miracle in the film.
The pleasure and the life in this holiday offering occur primarily when the actors stand at their "microphones" and merge into the film's characters. Performances deepen, led by Martyka's strong, uncloying portrayal of the good and self-sacrificing George, Steven Pennington as sympathetic Uncle Billy (whose Christmas Eve loss of the Bailey Building and Loan's $8,000 precipitates George's spiritual awakening) and Smith as Clarence, the angel who earns his wings by showing George what his life has meant to others.

Major Section: ACL2-BUILT-INS
(mod-expt r i m) is the result of raising the number
r to the
integer power
i and then taking the residue mod
m. That is,
(mod-expt r i m) is equal to
(mod (expt r i) m).
The guard for
(mod-expt r i m) is that
r is a rational number
i is an integer; if
r is
0 then
i is nonnegative; and
m is a non-zero rational number.
In some implementations (GCL Version 2.7.0 as of this writing), this function
is highly optimized when
r and
i are natural numbers, not both zero,
m is a positive integer. For other Lisp implementations, consider
using function
mod-expt-fast, defined in the community book
arithmetic-3/floor-mod/mod-expt-fast.lisp, which should still provide
significantly improved performance over this function.

The Real Reason I Love It Here
February 19, 2013, Washington, DC: It seems somewhat disingenuous to have come this far on Neighborhood Nomads without mentioning one of the main reasons I love living where I do. In truth, it's the pizza. As someone who could eat pizza seven days a week, living mere blocks from both Matchbox and Seventh Hill, the city's best pizza joints in my expert opinion, is a definite draw. If ever we move away from here, it'll be pizza I crave most. That said, I loved taking these photos at Sunday morning's pizza class at Matchbox. The class was part of the weekend's Culinary Crawl, during which the neighborhood was transformed into a cooking school with local chefs convening classes in their restaurants on Barracks Row and in the fabulous teaching kitchen in the nearby Hill Center. I was happy to again document the courses for Barracks Row Main Street (see the rest of my photos on their Picasa page), but mostly I felt lucky to be at Matchbox before 10 a.m. as the group talked pizza, rolled their dough, and flung it high into the air. A camera sprinkled with flour is a sign the day is off to a good start.
Is there any food in your neighborhood that you simply can't live without? Divulge your favorites in the Comments section below.

There are a lot of connections and similarities, as No. 24 Ole Miss prepares for its third straight road game of the season on the Plains against Auburn.
Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze and Arkansas State head coach Gus Malzahn served as Arkansas State's head coach in 2011 and 2012, respectively, and both teams run similar up-tempo offenses.
"We certainly can look just alike offensively, if we wanted to," Freeze said of the two offenses. "We'll be able to simulate their looks very efficiently for our defense. But having said that, both of us can change a lot during the course of a week, and he has two weeks to do whatever he is going to do. He will dress things up and add some wrinkles that we haven't seen.
"We are very, very similar in the things we do offensively, so it can help prepare us. You never know exactly what to prepare for. We'll show them that our defense wants to see, but there will be something that we don't cover that we will see Saturday night."
Freeze and Malzahn met when they were high school coaches and they traveled in the same circles of clinics and speeches. Their relationship grew when they were both assistants in the SEC in 2006. At that time, Freeze was the recruiting coordinator and tight ends coach at Ole Miss, and Malzahn was the offensive coordinator at Arkansas.
"It is somewhat eerily similar the paths we have shared many times," Freeze said. "We wish we were not in the same half of this conference, which would be nice. We would see each other just every so often and be able to help each other, but that's not reality, so we have to go and play.
"During the offseason, we would communicate quite a bit. Before this week, we would text maybe once a week, maybe a phone call, depending on who he's playing, and who I'm playing, we may talk some, without compromising each other's plan of any type. That's not real frequent. It's more of a texting, 'Good luck,' or "How are you doing?' deal."
Aplin Reunites With Two Former College Coaches
Another connection between Freeze and Malzahn is former Arkansas State quarterback and current Ole Miss administrative intern Ryan Aplin, who joined Freeze's staff after a very successful college career under Freeze and then Malzahn.
A two-time Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year, Aplin led the Red Wolves to back-to-back conference championships in 2011 and 2012 and completed his four year-career with more than 25 combined single-game, season and career school record and as the conference's all-time leader in completions, passing yards and total offense.
"I like to hire good people who played for me," Freeze said of hiring Aplin. "I like to take care of those guys. When Ryan's NFL deal fell through this year, it was a no-brainer. If I had a quality control spot open, I would certainly want him here, just like I hired Ben Aigamaua who played for me also, and I will continue to try to hire good people that know what we do and the core values of our program."
As an intern, Aplin works with co-offensive coordinator and quarterback coach Dan Werner charting data, analyzing film and performing other administrative duties.
"I had a conversation with Ryan early this week," Freeze said. "I know he's very close to both out us, and I don't want him to feel uncomfortable at all in anything that's going on. I'm sure Gus has changed everything from when Ryan was there. But at the same time, we had changed some things, too.
"People, though, who work or play for you for a while, there's only so much you can change. They still can probably tell if it's run or pass. Now, if you can do that in time to make calls, I don't know. We won't put Ryan in that position. We're going to move him down from the press box to the field in this game. He'll be involved in helping us this week for sure, but we want him to feel good about the way that everything goes about."
'They Remind Me A Lot Of Us Last Year'
Inheriting a team that went 3-9 last season and winless in the SEC, Malzahn has Auburn off to a 3-1 start this year, with home wins over Washington State, Arkansas State and Mississippi State. The Tigers' only loss was in their last game at then-No. 6 LSU, as they enter this week coming off a bye.
"They remind me a lot of us last year," Freeze said. "They are a vey, very hungry team that plays with great emotion, energy and passion. That's doesn't surprise me at all with Gus' leadership. They're off to a great start and have been very, very good at home, and we have to go there for another road trip in a hostile environment on a Saturday night. That's a big game for both schools sitting at 3-1. He will have them ready.
"He's got them playing extremely hard, and you face an offense that is very balanced in rushing and passing. They give you a lot of looks, motions and smoke and mirrors, and they are very efficient at what they do. Defensively, Ellis is one of the best in the business and is very, very multiple. You have to prepare for most anything."
Offensively, the Auburn rushing attack ranks third in the SEC with 232.2 yards per game, led by junior running back Tre Mason with 84.5 yards per game and four touchdowns. First-year quarterback Nick Marshall is 60-of-103 for 809 yards, with four touchdowns and four interceptions, and ranks sixth in the SEC in total offense with 239.3 yards per game.
R. Nkemdiche At Defensive Tackle
Having lined up primarily at defensive end in the first three games of the season, freshman Robert Nkemdiche moved inside for most of the game against Alabama. Freeze was overall pleased with the move, but it may not be permanent.
"We'll continue to look at where it's best to put him from week to week," Freeze said. "I wouldn't say it permanent. We'll look at what we're facing.
"He did fine. He made a few mistakes, but so did everyone. He graded out around 82 percent. He only had a few missed assignments. He made several tackles. He is very strong and tough to move around. He played real solid for a game of that magnitude against that offensive line in that arena."
Bouncing Back
Coming off the 25-0 loss at No. 1 Alabama, it was about learning from the loss, then putting it in the trash and preparing this week for Saturday against Auburn.
"One of the things about our program that I hope our kids see is that our coaches don't blink," Freeze said. "You have to play the next play. Yesterday, all of us didn't like losing. But again, it had been a while since we had lost compared to a few years back.
"We came into the team meeting. Sunday is about the truth. We told the truth about the offense, the defense and the special teams, and we put it in the trash and then went out and practiced with a lot of energy. I was real pleased with everyone's spirit."

Less than a year into a new IIHS ratings program for front crash prevention, auto manufacturers are making strides in adopting the most beneficial systems with automatic braking capabilities and are offering the features on a wider variety of models. Twenty-one of 24 cars and SUVs, all 2014 models unless noted, earn an advanced or higher rating in the latest round of IIHS evaluations.
"We are already seeing improvements from automakers since the initial launch of our ratings last September," says David Zuby, IIHS executive vice president and chief research officer. "BMW and Lexus, for example, have added more braking capability to their systems, which has paid off in higher ratings."
Large family cars and large luxury cars make up the bulk of the test group. IIHS also tested four midsize luxury/near luxury cars, three midsize luxury SUVs and a midsize SUV.
Four vehicles earn perfect scores when equipped with certain options. They are the BMW 5 series large luxury car, BMW X5 midsize luxury SUV, 2015 Hyundai Genesis large luxury car and Mercedes-Benz E-Class large luxury car. In all, eight models earn the highest rating of superior, 13 earn advanced, and three earn a basic rating.
In addition to familiar luxury brands, consumers will find mainstream nameplates among the newest rated vehicles, including Buick, Chevrolet, Dodge and Toyota.
The Institute rates vehicles as basic, advanced or superior for front crash prevention depending on whether they offer autobrake and, if so, how effective it is in tests at 12 and 25 mph.
Forward collision warning systems that meet performance criteria set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and autobrake systems that provide only minimal speed reduction in IIHS tests earn a basic rating. Vehicles that combine the warning with moderate speed reductions earn an advanced rating. It is possible to qualify for an advanced rating with an autobrake system that doesn't first warn the driver before taking action. Models that offer a warning and provide major speed reduction in IIHS tests earn a superior rating. Some models have multiple ratings because they are available with different versions of front crash prevention systems and their test performance varies. In the current group, this is the case with the BMW 3 series, 5 series and X5.
The rating system is based on HLDI research indicating that forward collision warning and automatic braking systems help drivers avoid front-to-rear crashes (see Status Report special issue: crash avoidance, July 3, 2012).
"We know that this technology is helping drivers avoid crashes," Zuby says. "The advantage of autobrake is that even in cases where a crash can't be avoided entirely, the system will reduce speed. Reducing the speed reduces the amount of damage that occurs to both the striking and struck cars and reduces injuries to people in those cars."
Front crash prevention systems use various types of sensors, such as cameras, radar or laser, to detect when the vehicle is getting too close to one in front of it. Most systems issue a warning and precharge the brakes to maximize their effect if the driver responds by braking. Many systems brake the vehicle autonomously if the driver doesn't respond. In some cases, automatic braking is activated without a warning.
BMW offers an improved front crash prevention system on 2014 models that secures high marks for the X5, 5 series and 3 series. The X5 and 5 series earn superior ratings when equipped with a system that uses both a camera and radar. When the X5, 5 series and 3 series are equipped with an optional camera-only collision mitigation system, they are rated advanced for front crash prevention. The 2 series luxury coupe also earns an advanced rating.
The BMW 5 series brakes for the target in an IIHS test. The car earns a superior rating when equipped with an optional camera and radar system.
In comparison, the 2013 model 3 series was rated basic. The earlier model's system braked for a stopped car ahead only if sensors first detected the car moving before it stopped. The same system is still available on certain 2014 models, and these cars continue to earn a basic rating.
Lexus enhanced its radar-based systems to provide more braking capability, garnering an advanced rating for the GS large luxury car and IS midsize luxury/near-luxury car. Likewise, Toyota made changes to systems on the Highlander midsize SUV and Prius small car to earn advanced ratings in results published earlier. The Toyota Avalon is rated basic because the large family car's autobrake system provided minimal braking in IIHS tests.
The Buick Regal, Cadillac CTS, Cadillac XTS and Chevrolet Impala earn the highest rating of superior when equipped with GM's forward collision warning and autobrake system. The 2014 Buick LaCrosse earns an advanced rating when it has the same system. All of these cars also are available with a warning system only, which earns a basic rating. The cars join the superior-rated Cadillac ATS and SRX, which were included in the first round of tests in 2013 (see "First crash avoidance ratings under new test program: 7 midsize vehicles earn top marks," Sept. 27, 2013).
The Institute's initial batch of front crash prevention ratings covered 74 midsize cars and SUVs. Results for a dozen more models followed last winter, with four earning superior ratings, six earning advanced and two earning basic. Besides the Institute, the European New Car Assessment Programme also rates front crash prevention systems and has so far published ratings for nine models sold in Europe.
Most front crash prevention systems have to be purchased as part of an optional package, but consumers will find that availability is growing, especially for autobrake. More than 20 percent of 2014 models in HLDI's vehicle features database offer a front crash prevention system with autobrake capabilities, twice as many as in 2012. Forward collision warning is offered as an option on nearly 40 percent of 2014 models.
"Sorting through the various trade names and features can be confusing, even if you're looking at models from the same manufacturer. Before buying, consumers should consult the IIHS ratings to find out if the specific model they are considering comes with a top-rated front crash prevention system," Zuby advises.
In addition to ratings for front crash prevention, consumers can consult the HLDI database showing the availability of various crash avoidance features.
Acura, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo sell the systems as standard equipment on certain models. An advanced-rated autobrake system is standard on the Volvo S60, S80 and XC60. Basic-rated forward collision warning is standard on the Acura RLX and ZDX, plus the Mercedes-Benz CLA, E-Class and M-Class.
The Institute will require an advanced or better rating for front crash prevention as one of the criteria needed to win a 2015 Top Safety Pick+ award. For the current 2014 award cycle, models can qualify with a basic rating. Vehicles also must earn good ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests, plus a good or acceptable rating in the small overlap front crash test.

How to make your own dry erase board for $20
Here we build a 4' x 3' dry erase board for $40. This is less than half of what a board this size would retail for.
Whenever working on anything technical, visual or long, it's nice to be able to draw and store these ideas conveniently. One can find an endless amount of uses for a white board. Personally I'm an Engineer, and I like to see thing visually. We have already filled our custom dry erase board with project ideas, to-do items and things for this site. Immediately after building one, we saw a huge increase in productivity and organization. Okay, starting to sound a little too business-like. The point is, it's sweet having a big dry erase board.
There are a number of different approaches to making/installing a dry erase board:
1. Buy it - this may be the easiest, but definitely the most expensive. You can get a cheap 36"x48" dry erase board at office depot for $40, or a really nice one with mahogany trim for $100. Dry erase board at amazon for $66
2. Glass - glass is a great surface for writing on with dry erase markers, unfortunately it's heavy and dangerous.
3. Plexiglas/Lucite (acrylic plastic) - these materials are ideal, combining the best qualities of glass with the best qualities of plastic. It's easy to write and erase. Plexiglas is lightweight and won't shatter.
4. Tileboard - Solid White Tileboard (sometimes called Melamine tile wall panel) is used as a tile substitute in bathrooms. Some know it as showerboard because a couple of sheets of this and you have a nice waterproof shower stall. You'll need a $1 tube of panel adhesive to glue this 1/8 inch surface to the wall or a piece of plywood. You can cover an entire wall for $50. You can also cut it into smaller pieces with a regular circular saw. I've heard about some issues with markers staining this material. We're going to try this one next.
5. Write on sheets - these look pretty cool, pretty cheap for the size and quantity as well. available here at amazon
What you'll need
|36"x48" acrylic plastic sheet
|(already had one)
|these are nice
|found here
|Drywall Anchors
|the ones we used in 100 ct box
1. Find a good place to put your dry erase board. I know this sounds like a no-brainer, but this can make a big difference in how effective your dry erase board will be. Pick a spot where nearly anyone will be able to easily reach both the top and bottom of the whiteboard. Also it's nice to have a place that is visible from any point in a big room. Since dry erase boards are typically used for collaboration, you want to ensure as many people as possible can collaborate. Measure the area you have available to make step 2 easier.
2. Choose your material and purchase the appropriate size. We bought a 4 ft x 3 ft piece of clear acrylic plastic at Home Depot. There are a few different paths to take as far as what type of material to buy as previously discussed in the introduction. We chose acrylic plastic for a few reasons. first of all it comes in very large sizes at a low cost. The board can be cut into any shape desired and fit any wall or location. It achieves the same functionality as a white dry erase board you might find at office depot (these are normally ceramic on steel I believe). Although you can buy a similar size board for around $40 with a spiffy frame, when the size is scaled up the price increases dramatically. If you are covering a large wall the price of acrylic will be much less than a retail dry erase board.
3. Drill holes in the board and the wall. To mount the board on dry wall we used drywall anchors. Match up a drill bit with the screw for your anchor. Peel back the protective plastic sheet around the edges of the acrylic. Hold the board into position on the wall as desired and have a friend hold it firmly in place. We drilled 6 holes, one at each corner and one in the midsection of the long edge of the board. Our drywall anchors provided plenty of support, but use more if you have a larger board. Place the holes approximately 2 inches or more from the edge of the board. Drill through the acrylic and tap the wall behind it so you know where to put the anchors or simply drill straight through the wall as a guide hole for your anchors. This way you can be sure the holes and anchors line up.
4. Screw the drywall anchors into the wall. We broke a couple by not following directions and in the end it was easier to use predrilled holes and simply push them in. Make sure the anchors are flush with the wall. The anchors we used were rated for 60 lbs. so there should be no worries of it ever falling down. With all the anchors in place you are ready to mount the board.
5. Clean both sides of the board and mount it. Before the final mounting you should remove all the plastic protective lining from both sides of the board. Use some Windex or any window cleaner to remove dirt and dust. Hold the board in place and screw the screws through the holes in the board and into the anchors. We used washers between the screw and board to help distribute the force on the acrylic and help hide the drywall anchor. Once everything is screwed in, take a step back to admire your work, then grab a marker and let your imagination go wild.
General tips - The acrylic is prone to scratches very easily, so be careful when moving objects around it or taking it down.
Marker/ Eraser holder - We wanted an easy marker and eraser holder so we tried out velcro strips. They worked perfectly for a day or two and then the small strips detached from the markers probably due to heat. We are going to try applying them with super glue, that will work for sure. If it works, then that system is really easy and cheap too. Some other ideas we've had for the marker holder are pvc pipe cut in half lengthwise, a small rectangular box or ledge built out of wood, or simply a cup affixed to the wall.

Further Ideas
It's always nice when doing elaborate planning to take a picture of the board when you're done that way if something gets erased you've got another record of your thoughts. We still have yet to do the marker/erase holder, we'll post more on that when it's completed. Also storing it over the summer might be a little difficult but I'm sure we'll figure something out.

Taylor Swift's 'Red' on Track to Sell One Million Units
We can picture it now: Taylor Swift walks into the board room at her record company only to be confronted by Dr. Evil (Mike Myers). While stroking his hairless kitty, Evil tells America's prettiest country pop superstar that her new album is on track to sell "One. Million. Units." Cue the wicked laugh.
Billboard reports that Swifty's fourth album sold 500,000 units on Monday alone and is on track to double that number by the end of the week. If she nails the landing, Swiftness will be the first female artist in Soundscan history (1991-present) to repeat sales of 1 million units with two separate albums. TayTay will be joining a very elite boys club whose sole members are Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync and Eminem — and their feats occurred at the peak of the record industry 10 years ago (1999-2002).
Like Adele, T-Swizzle is a force to be reckoned with and proof that when the product is good, people will buy it. Unlike Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' which sold a massive amount of digital units during an Amazon.com $0.99 sale, fans are having no problem paying full retail for 'Red.' On Monday, Target sold 160,000 units of their exclusive deluxe edition that features three bonus songs plus some fresh remixes. Not to be outdone, iTunes is selling a record number of digital units.
Full sales figures will be announced next week. With 'Red' soaring into the black, T-Painless will have her new Hyannis Port mansion (a stone's throw from current boyfriend Conor Kennedy) paid off in no time flat!

I live in NoHo and work in Burbank. Honestly, I don't know what is my grade as a player. I personally feel I have played enough to be better than a beginner though there is a big scope for improvement.
I am looking for someone to hit with. Basically rally around and improve my ground shots and also practice serves. I occasionally play at the Burbank Tennis center or the courts in Sherman Oaks. On weekdays, I can play 7 to 8:30 in the morning and anytime after 6 in the evening.
Weekends - I can play 7-10 in the morning.

Replies to This Discussion
Hello - I'd be happy to meet you for practice/rallying. I've been taking lessons for about a year.
If you want to hit in Sherman Oaks, feel free to contact me. The morning times you suggested are great for me as well.
Hi.I can play today .May be around 7 p.m. in Sherman oaks park .Let me know. Thank you
Hi Arun. Like you I'm also looking for a hitting partner who has more or less the same schedule. That said, I'm almost always at Sherman Oaks every Saturday morning hitting the wall. I used to go there on weeknights with a cousin but he has already left the country.
I would think we have more or less the same skill level and if that's ok with you just let me know when you'd like to hit the courts. Thanks!
Hi Arun,
Would you be up for playing on Thursday the 31st at 7am until 8:30am? You can email me at jgcbill at yahoo dot com.
I live in Burbank. Play in Burbank and Noho courts. We usually play doubles. Anyone interested? Level between 2.5 and 3.0 I guess.
I play with a regular group at Valley Plaza courts (behind high school just north of Victory and Laural Canyon). Perhaps you'd like to stop by some morning?

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
U.S. stock-index futures pointed to a mildly lower open for Wall Street after last week's surge as traders prepared for the kick off of corporate earnings season.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
As of 9:15 a.m. ET, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 28 points to 13318, S&P 500 futures dipped 3 points to 1455 and Nasdaq 100 futures slumped 6 points to 2707.
The markets rang in 2013 with a big rally last week. The Dow tacked on close to 500 points, while the broad S&P 500 soared 4.6%. The move was driven by enthusiasm that lawmakers in the U.S. finally forged a deal that at least temporarily averts many of the damaging effects of the fiscal cliff. However, sentiment on Wall Street has grown more cautious as analysts begin gauging the impact of the budget agreement on the economy and prepare for fourth-quarter earnings season.
Indeed, in a sign of the concerns, Goldman Sachs Chief U.S. Economist Jan Hatzius wrote in a note to clients Sunday that the payroll tax cut expiration and tax hike on high earners -- both parts of the deal -- are likely to "weigh heavily" on disposable income and consumer spending in coming months. He reckons disposable income could take a hit of roughly $200 billion.
Alcoa (NYSE:AA) announces its quarterly earnings Tuesday, which most market participants consider to be the unofficial start of earnings season. The blue-chip aluminum maker is expected to have earned six cents a share in the fourth quarter.
"Since equity markets are currently at such high levels, stock might come off if quickly if the reports come in worse than expected," David Madden, a market analyst at IG, wrote in an email.
Also on the corporate front, Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Fannie Mae reached an agreement to settle claims relating to residential mortgages the banking giant and a subsidiary sold to Fannie between 2000 and 2008.
As part of the deal, BofA will pay Fannie $3.6 billion in cash and repurchase $6.75 billion in mortgages. The move will impact BofA's fourth-quarter income by $2.7 billion. Still, the second-biggest U.S. bank by assets is expecting to post "modestly positive" fourth-quarter earnings per share.
Energy markets were mildly lower. The benchmark crude oil contract slipped 55 cents, or 0.59%, to $92.54 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline dipped 0.65% to $2.746 a gallon. In metals, gold climbed $6.50, or 0.39%, to $1,655 a troy ounce.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 dipped 0.38% to 2699, the English FTSE 100 slumped 0.37% to 6068 and the German DAX fell 0.46% to 7741.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 slid 0.83% to 10588 and the Chinese Hang Seng inched lower by 0.01% to 23330.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 27, 2014) – The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced Thursday that Penn State assistant coach Adegboyega "Bo" Oshoniyi has been named head coach of the Buccaneers' men's soccer program.
Oshoniyi, who has spent the last three seasons (2011-13) at Penn State and was also an assistant coach at Wake Forest for two seasons (2009-10), takes over the program following the departure of Scott Calabrese, who had been the program's only head coach since its inception in 2008. Calabrese left earlier this year for the head coaching position at Florida International.
"Coach Oshoniyi is a proven winner and we believe he's the person that can take our men's soccer program to the next level," said ETSU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Richard Sander. "Coach Calabrese set a high standard of success, and Coach Oshoniyi will continue to build on that winning tradition. He is a high-energy guy with a great personality, and we think he will be a wonderful addition to not only our university but to our entire community."
Oshoniyi, whose full name is pronounced AD-eh-BO-yay-ga O-shah-nee, inherits a program which won the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament title and earned a trip to the NCAA Championships in 2013. It was the second time in school history the Bucs have won a tournament title and made a NCAA appearance.
"I would like to thank ETSU President Dr. Brian Noland, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Sander, and the entire search committee for giving me the opportunity to lead the young men of the ETSU men's soccer program," said Oshoniyi, who enjoyed a long professional playing career as a goalie. "I am committed to building a program on and off the field that will make the people of East Tennessee State University and the community proud. My family and I feel that ETSU and the Tri-Cities area will be a great fit for us, and we're looking forward to getting settled into our new hometown. The bar is set high and that is incredibly exciting and inspiring. I can't wait to meet our players and get to work."
Oshoniyi helped the Nittany Lions capture the program's first regular season Big Ten title in seven years, as PSU garnered a 3-1-2 conference record in 2012. The Lions were staunch defensively, allowing just over one goal-per-game during the season as they went unbeaten in their final four regular season conference contests. While at Penn State, Oshoniyi's responsibilities included working with goalkeepers and playing a key role in recruiting.
In his first season at Penn State, Oshoniyi helped tutor freshman goalkeeper Andrew Wolverton, the Big Ten leader in goals-against-average and save percentage. Wolverton also became the school's all-time single-season shutout leader with 12 a season ago.
Oshoniyi joined the Penn State staff after serving for two seasons as an assistant coach under Jay Vidovich at Wake Forest. Working primarily with the goalkeepers, he helped lead the ACC power to a total of 25 wins. In his first season at Wake Forest in 2009, the Demon Deacons posted a 17-4-3 record, captured the ACC regular season title, and advanced to the College Cup. Under Oshoniyi's tutelage that season, the Demon Deacon goalkeepers compiled a 0.77 goals against average and registered 10 shutouts.
Prior to his time at Wake Forest, Oshoniyi was an assistant at South Florida for one season. In 2008, the Bulls went 15-5-3, won the program's first BIG EAST tournament title, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championship.
As a collegiate player at Southern Connecticut State University, Oshoniyi was a two-time All-America goalkeeper, leading the Owls to two NCAA Division II National Championships and four straight New England Collegiate Conference titles. The Division II record holder for shutouts in a career with 50, he was named the Final Four Most Valuable Player twice and was honored with the Golden Boot Award, an award presented to the nation's top collegiate goalkeeper, following his senior season. Oshoniyi was inducted into SCSU Hall of Fame in 2009.
After graduation, Oshoniyi embarked on a professional career in the United States that spanned 12 years and included stints with two Major League Soccer teams. Chosen by Columbus in the inaugural MLS draft, he spent the 1996 season with the club, recording the first win in Crew history. Oshoniyi, the first African-American goalkeeper to start a game in the MLS, was also a member of the Kansas City Wizards from 2000-2006, winning two Western Conference titles (2000, 2004) and the MLS Championship in 2000.
He also played professionally with the USL's New York Centaurs (1995), Connecticut Wolves (1997), Charleston Battery (1998), and Atlanta Silverbacks (1999) and trained with Ajax Amsterdam of the Dutch national football league. He was also a member of the U.S. team that competed at the World University Games in 1993 and played with the U.S. National B team in 1994.
Oshoniyi holds a USSF National "A" license and has served as an assistant coach for the U.S. U-17 National Team, as well as a Region I Olympic Development evaluator. A highly sought after clinician, he has also been a staff member for the Kansas City Wizards Soccer Camps along with the SoccerPlus, Star, and No. 1 Goalkeeper Academies. He also previously served as Director of Coaching at Harrisonville Soccer Club in Kansas City and was the head varsity girls coach at Saint Thomas Aquinas High School in Missouri and the boys' varsity assistant at Shelton High School in Connecticut.
Oshoniyi graduated from Southern Connecticut State in 1994 with a degree in marketing, finance and communications. He and his wife, Tippi, have two sons, Xander, 6, and Rennick, 1, and a four-year-old daughter, Londyn.
