Bucs set to close regular season with five of next seven contests away from home including their next three
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (Feb. 14, 2014) – With five of its next seven games on the road, the ETSU women's basketball team will begin this stretch with a visit to USC Upstate on Saturday to take on the Spartans at 4:30 p.m. inside the Hodge Center.
Participating in the "Play 4Kay: Think Pink" initiative on Saturday, Feb. 8, the Buccaneers dropped an 80-55 decision to the Stetson Hatters inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletics Center. Facing league-leading Stetson, the ETSU women's basketball team hung with the Hatters for much of the first half, but a late push to end the opening period and efficient offense in the second half by SU was too much for the Bucs to overcome.
After falling behind by as many as 10 points with 12:07 to go, the Bucs battled back with a 10-4 run to get within four, 19-15, with 7:27 remaining in the first half. Feeling pressure from ETSU, the Hatters responded with an 18-8 surge to take a 37-23 advantage into halftime.
Per usual, the Bucs came out of halftime energized and quickly began to reduce their deficit. ETSU manufactured an 11-3 burst to open the period, capped by a Jasmine Hotchkins (Phoenix, Ariz.) three-pointer with 15:12 to play to whittle SU's advantage down to six, 40-34. The Hatters then battled back with a run of their own to pull ahead by double-digits and went on to take control of the game. Ultimately, the Bucs' lack of depth and offensive firepower, coupled with Stetson's conference-pacing scoring prowess, proved to be too much as ETSU fell, 80-55. Chandler Christopher (Greeneville, Tenn.) led the Blue & Gold with career-highs of 17 points and five steals. Additionally, freshman guard Hotchkins came off of the bench to score 10 points including two made trifectas.
ETSU (7-15, 3-8) and USC Upstate (11-11, 6-5) will square off Saturday in the 14th all-time meeting between the two schools; a series that ETSU leads, 7-6. The Bucs have fallen short, though, in four-straight meetings against the Spartans with the most recent matchup being a heartbreaking 63-62 loss earlier this season, on Jan. 19, inside Brooks Gym.

Game Notes
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" throughout the 2012-13 season ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics, please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
The ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2013-14 season under the guidance of first-year head coach. Brittney Ezell. A two-sport star in basketball and softball at the University of Alabama, Ezell comes to ETSU after spending three seasons as head coach at Belmont University where she compiled a 41-52 overall record. The Franklin, Tenn. native takes the reigns of a veteran-heavy team that returns nine letterwinners from an 8-18 overall 2012-13 campaign. Among the nine returnees are six players who started 10 or more games last season. Highlighted among the returnees is last year's team-leading scorer and rebounder Destiny Mitchell who led the way with 11.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Supporting Mitchell are juniors Serena Clark and Cara Bowling who each averaged 9.5 points per game last season.
As a result of a leg injury suffered in the first regular season game of the season at Memphis on Nov. 8, senior forward Destiny Mitchell will miss the remainder of the 2013-14 campaign. Mitchell will undergo surgery and continue injury rehabilitation while the ETSU compliance department petitions for a medical redshirt to have the forward cleared to participate in 2014-15.
Against the Spartans, after a tightly-contested first half, the Blue and Gold started out the second period strong. ETSU built up an 11-point advantage, 56-45, with 8:14 to go, but proceeded to go scoreless for nearly four minutes. This Bucs' scoring drought allowed Upstate to chip away at its deficit resulting in an only one-point ETSU lead with under a minute to play. A missed scoring opportunity by the Blue and Gold with 11 seconds remaining allowed the Spartans one final chance on offense. Upstate responded by converting a driving lay-in with two seconds left to ultimately down the Bucs, 63-62. ETSU had three players in double figures highlighted by a season-high 13 points from Shawn Randall.
Junior forward Serena Clark has started 2013-14 off strong, scoring in double-figures in 12 of the 22 games this season. After falling just one rebound short of a double-double in the season opener at Memphis (11/8), the native Georgian reeled off four-consecutive double-doubles for ETSU in games from Nov. 12 - 29 including a career-high 21 points and 11 rebounds in a 82-65 win against Alabama A&M (11/29). The junior's most recent double-double came in a 72-57 win at North Florida where Clark posted game-highs of 20 points and 11 rebounds to notch her second-consecutive double-double. Clark has now exceeded her double-double total from last season just 22 games into the 2013-14 campaign with eight this season and is poised for more throughout the year. The forward's 10.1 points per game currently ranks among the top-20 in the A-Sun, while her 10.1 boards per game are second in the league.
Junior guard Cara Bowling is currently the leading scorer on the team with 12.2 points per game during the 2013-14 season. Presently, this point total per game ranks among the top 15 in the A-Sun while her 1.9 three-point field goal makes per game is in the top five in the league. The Elizabethton native posted a career-high 22 points vs. Saint Francis (Pa.) (11/24) including four makes from behind the arc. The guard did miss six games this season, from Jan. 19 – Feb.1, due to a hip injury, and returned to action on Feb. 8 against Stetson.
Sophomore guard Chandler Christopher has proved to be a valuable piece for the Bucs during the 2013-14 season. After spending the entirety of the 2012-13 campaign as a seldom-used freshman walk-on, first-year head coach Brittney Ezell liked what she saw from Christopher and decided to elevate the Greeneville native from walk-on to scholarship status prior to this season. Christopher has since recorded her first-career starts in 20 of the 22 games this season and has been a vital cog for the Blue and Gold. After netting two points, five rebounds and three assists in the opener at Memphis (11/8), the guard followed with career-highs of 17 points and four assists in an also career-best 37 minutes played in ETSU's 81-72 win at Appalachian State (11/12). Christopher's performance in the Bucs' first win of the season at App State led to her being named A-Sun Player of the Week by College Sports Madness on Monday, Nov. 18. The sophomore then added another team-leading scoring performance to her résumé with 15 points in a 77-69 loss to Morehead State on Nov. 21. In her first game off of the bench this season, the guard notched her first-career double-double with 14 points and a career-best 14 rebounds in a 74-68 win versus Kennesaw State (1/23). Recently, Christopher added career-highs of 17 points and five steals vs. Stetson (2/8).
Freshman Shamauria Bridges has been a great offensive boost for the Bucs during the 2013-14 season. The rookie guard is averaging 6.9 points per game in 20 minutes of play and has demonstrated the ability to knock down shots from the perimeter. The Florida native has knocked down a trio of triples in three different games this season with the most recent performance coming on Jan. 25 versus Mercer. In her first career start, Bridges led the Bucs with a career-best 19 points in a 74-68 win against Kennesaw State on Jan. 23. The guard also led ETSU in scoring with 13 points in a loss vs. Florida Gulf Coast (2/6).
Sophomore Brianna McQueen has been a strong lead guard for the Bucs during the 2013-14 season. Using her quickness, the Georgia native is averaging a solid 11.6 points per game at the point guard position and is also getting her teammates involved with 3.3 assists per game. This assist mark ranks fifth in the Atlantic Sun and will need to continue to keep ETSU's offense near the top of the conference.
Through 22 games during the 2013-14 season, ETSU is currently averaging 66.7 points per game which is fourth in the A-Sun. With the 66.7 points per game also come successes in field goal percentage, where the Bucs are second in the league at 40 percent, and in three-point field goal percentage, where ETSU is fourth in the conference at 33 percent.
After averaging 6.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in 26 games and six starts in 2012-13, junior forward Maria Bond has proved to be a force in the interior during the 2013-14 campaign. The native Georgian has started 20 games this season and is currently averaging 10.1 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. Bond posted a season-high 18 points in a 75-67 win versus Indiana State (12/18) and remains a vital piece in ETSU's paint production going forward.
Since the 2002-03 season the Bucs are 111-20 when the they hit the 75-point plateau, including 80-15 since the 2006-07 season. In the early portion of the 2013-14 conference season, ETSU put up 78 to defeat Lipscomb (1/2), 78-75, to earn the 111th such victory.
The Bucs have enjoyed a lot of success since joining the A-Sun in 2005-06 … since joining the league, the Buccaneers have averaged double-digit conference wins a year, including a league-best and school record 18-2 mark in 2009-10, three Atlantic Sun Tournament titles (2008-2010), and two regular season championships (2008 and 2010) …in total, ETSU is 108-54 (.666) against conference foes since moving into the A-Sun … the Bucs have also won 88 of their last 132 games against conference foes (includes A-Sun Championship games).
The Atlantic Sun coaches picked the Bucs to finish tied with North Florida at fifth, while in the media poll ETSU was selected seventh ... the coaches picked FGCU with seven first-place votes to win the conference, while the media selected FGCU with 30 first-place votes ... the Bucs finished the 2012-13 season in eighth place.

ACCESSCAMPING.com Canadian Visits Soaring
March 22, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on ACCESSCAMPING.com Canadian Visits Soaring
AccessCamping.com has seen a 10-fold increase in Canadian visitors following a decision by the Canada's national camping industry association, Campgrounds Campings Canada, to transfer its CampCanada.com web links to the general camping website portal.
Established one year ago, AccessCamping.com provides hundreds of links to databases of public and private campgrounds as well as RV clubs across North America.
"Canadian campers are visiting AccessCamping in record numbers, thanks to the addition of CampCanada's weblinks to public and private campgrounds in each of the Canadian provinces," said Brian Schaeffer, president and CEO of Texas Advertising, which launched AccessCamping a little over a year ago.
CampCanada.com was previously hosted and managed by the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association of Canada (RVDA of Canada), but the association recently transferred its web links to AccessCamping to provide more efficiency for consumers looking for campgrounds in Canada, said Anita Lien, program coordinator for RVDA of Canada, which previously administered CampCanada.com on behalf of Campgrounds Campings Canada.
AccessCamping.com also includes links to online databases of the major campground industry directories, including those provided by the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC), the Trailer Life and Woodall's North American Campground Directories, as well as the websites of campground chains, such as Kampgrounds of America Inc. (KOA) and Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts.
Schaeffer said AccessCamping.com is needed because most websites have limited campground listings.
"The government run websites, for the most part, list only government run parks while the websites for campground industry associations typically limit their listings to parks that are members of their associations. As a result," he said, "most websites only give the camping consumer a partial view of what's out there in terms of potential camping venues. The good news about AccessCamping.com is we truly 'pamper the camper' by giving them more camping options than any other source."

Robertissima The Great
6 June 2014
Talamone, Italy- With three races complete and a simply spectacular day of racing at the third act of the 2014 Audi-Tron Sailing Series in Talamone, Roberto Tomasini Grinover's Robertissima with tactician Vasco Vascotto cashed in a 1-2-4 scorecard for the early overall lead. It is clear — Tomasini Grinover is on a performance upswing. With his win in early March in Miami and his very recent Mini Maxi Volcano Race win, it is obvious that he and his crew are in tip-top, ultra-competitive shape.
Refusing defeat, close behind in second place, only two points back is Filippo Pacinotti with Gabrio Zandona as tactician on Brontolo H/H, followed by Valentin Zavadnikov and his Synergy GT team in the steady hands of tactician Michele Ivaldi in third.
The Talamone fleet is one of the toughest and most impressive ever assembled, yet Tomasini Grinover and Pacinotti dominated the day. Despite Pacinotti's seventh place finish in Race One, he came back with supersonic speed to take the win in Race Two and Three.
Rounding out the top five is Edoardo Lupi's Torpyone in fourth and Arturo Di Lorenzo on Malafemmena in fifth.
More racing is scheduled for Saturday as the fleet works its way to complete a scheduled eight race weekend series. If three more races are completed tomorrow, discards go into effect with the potential of dramatically shuffling the scoreboard, setting up Sunday as the ultimate showdown.
As with other Melges 32 events in Europe and around the world, racing updates will be posted online at the Official Audi Melges 32 Facebook Page. Tune in for the latest racing information, results, video interviews, and photos. Race reports, press releases and photos will be available online each day post racing at melges32.com.

tophatmonocle needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 136 designs submitted by 56 freelance designers.
Top Hat Monocle
We're startup company that's working on a pretty cool product in the area of education software. The concept that the company name/logo tries to convey is the combination of playfulness and quality - kind of like "we're having fun, but we're a high end luxury product" to put a corporate-ish spin on it.
We're targeting education (universities and colleges primarily) but don't limit your thinking to that. Ideally the logo should be something more generally applicable.
If you look at the attached images you'll see our current logo (the top hat in a blue circle.) So the idea there is that it's a top hat inside a monocle (get it?? get it??!!)
Ok, so we really like that general idea and would like to stick with it. However, the current logo is a pretty stiff and not very sexy. The logo we're looking for will have the same general structure (i.e. top hat inside a monocle) but be more stylized, and easily portable to monochrome as well as other media (e.g. t-shirts.) Attached are a couple of examples of what the top hat might look like - they are only meant as a guide as to what we mean by stylized, not by any means specific examples of what we're looking for.
So, for instance instead of the gradient blue in the monocle, it should have a highlight - as on glass. The top hat should have no gradients, but instead use contrasting dark/light regions to give it structure.
As restrictive as this all sounds please feel free try put your spin on it - and if you think there's a better way of achieving the concept we're looking for, feel free to run it by us.

Searchers Scour Rubble After Harlem Explosion Kills 8
Rescue workers using dogs and thermal-detection gear searched the rubble Thursday for victims of a gas explosion that killed at least seven people, while investigators tried to pinpoint the leak and determine whether it had anything to do with New York's aging gas and water mains, some dating to the 19th century.
At least five people were unaccounted for after the deafening blast Wednesday morning destroyed two five-story brick apartment buildings in East Harlem. More than 60 people were injured.
Fire and utility officials said that if the buildings were plagued in recent days or weeks by strong gas odors, as some tenants claimed, they have no evidence anyone reported it before Wednesday.
Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said experts would first try to reach the basement -- still under rubble -- to examine heating units, meters and other equipment that might hold clues to the blast. Then they will work their way toward the street, where Con Edison has a gas main consisting partly of cast iron from 1887.
"We can only get conclusive evidence when the fire is out, when the rescue is completed, and we really get a chance to look at all the facts," Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
Aging infrastructure -- crumbling bridges, highways, water mains and gas lines -- has become a major concern in recent years, especially in older cities in the Northeast, and has been blamed for explosions, floods and other accidents. But many cities say they just don't have the money to fix the problem.
"We know this is a fundamental challenge for New York City and any older city," de Blasio said. But he added: "This is not the occasion to talk about the dynamics about our national government and the lack of support for infrastructure. ... That's a separate discussion for another day."
As cold, stiff winds blew across the still-smoldering debris, construction equipment with iron jaws picked up the rubble, first depositing it on the pavement, then hoisting it onto trucks that hauled it away. Clouds of thick smoke swirled over Park Avenue.
The mayor told firefighters carrying grappling hooks and other equipment: "I can only imagine, knowing that at any moment you might find a body, how difficult that is."
The seven confirmed dead include Griselde Camacho, 45, a Hunter College security officer, and Carmen Tanco, 67, a dental hygienist who took part in church-sponsored medical missions to South Africa, the Dominican Republic and Nigeria.
Mexican officials said two other victims came from state of Puebla: Rosaura Barrios Vazquez, 43, and Rosaura Hernandez Barrios, 22.
The bodies of three unidentified men also were pulled from the rubble.
At least three of the injured were children. One, a 15-year-old boy, was reported in critical condition Thursday with burns, broken bones and internal injuries. A woman was in critical condition with a head injury.
The blast erupted about 15 minutes after someone from a neighboring building reported smelling gas, authorities said. Con Ed said it immediately sent workers to check out the report, but they got there too late.
Con Ed CEO John McAvoy said the call had been correctly categorized as a low priority. "A single person calling that they smelled gas outside of a building is not something that would warrant a Fire Department response," he said.
After the disaster, a number of neighborhood residents said they smelled gas on Tuesday but did not report it. A tenant in one of the destroyed buildings, Ruben Borrero, said that residents had complained to the landlord about gas odors on Tuesday and that fire officials were called a few weeks ago.
But Cassano and McAvoy said that before Wednesday, the Fire Department and Con Ed had received no complaints in the last 30 days about a gas leak in the area.
De Blasio said that because of the city's old and vulnerable infrastructure, people should heed the post-9/11 slogan "If you see something, say something."
"Every citizen of this city should certainly always tell the city government if they see a problem," he said.
The working-class neighborhood around the site at Park Avenue and 116th Street was once known as Spanish Harlem because of its large population of Puerto Ricans but now has many Asians and other ethnic groups. The neighborhood is gentrifying but still has a high crime rate, fueled by drugs and gangs.
Storefronts range from fast-food shops to "botanicas" selling folk medicine and religious items.
More than 30,000 miles of decades-old, decaying cast-iron pipe are still being used to deliver gas nationwide, according to the U.S. Transportation Department estimates. In 2011, the American Gas Association said replacement or repair could cost $82 billion.
New York City still uses about 3,000 miles of decades-old cast-iron pipe, Boston about 2,000 miles, Philadelphia about 1,500 and Washington 400, the department said. Experts said much of the old pipe dates to before World War II, and some of it may even be more than 100 years old.

Jay Walton always thought that if he left coach Scott Sanderson's basketball coaching staff at Lipscomb University it would be to become the head coach of his own program.
But sometimes opportunity knocks with a different tone than expected. Such is the case for Walton who is leaving the assistant basketball coaching position he has held at Lipscomb for 13 years for a new career in sporting goods sales with Nashville Sporting Goods.
"I wasn't looking to get out of coaching," Walton said. "In fact, I had been exploring a couple of head coaching opportunities at the smaller school level.
'The opportunity came out of nowhere. The best way I can explain it is I guess my heart was more ready for something like this than I realized. It has been a very peaceful decision. I am very excited about the move and what it is going to mean for me and my family."
Close relationship
Walton and Sanderson have been working together for 15 years. Sanderson, then head coach at the University of Mobile hired Walton as an assistant on the recommendation of former Mississippi State coach Richard Williams.
Breaking those ties was the toughest part of the decision for Walton. He admits he will miss the players, but he will miss Sanderson and assistant coaches Shaun Senters and Pete Froedden the most.
"That has been the most emotional part of the decision," Walton said. "In those 15 years there have been a lot of players come and go. Those guys were special to us. They have meant a lot to our program here and to us as coaches.
"But Scott and I have been here every year. When I first started working with Scott he and his wife, Ronda, had two children. Now he has four and Carter (the oldest) is all grown up and playing here."
Sanderson stressed that Walton soon became more than just an assistant coach. Both families are extremely close.
"In a perfect world I would love to have Jay by my side the whole time," Sanderson said. "He has changed my kids' diapers. Our families are close. There is not anything he couldn't say to me or that I couldn't say to him."
"He is as honest and as loyal as the day is long. He has been that person and has done a great, great job. He has a great opportunity and I can't blame him for not accepting it."
Many lessons learned
Walton has only worked for one other person in his career. He learned lessons from Sanderson about both basketball and parenthood.
"Just about everything I have learned about basketball has come from him," Walton said. "But that pales in comparison with what I learned from him about being a good father and a good husband.
"It was tough to tell Scott I was leaving. I knew he would understand. But I got a little choked up. It was hard to get the words out. I had asked him to help me when I was looking for other opportunities in coaching. He had always been very supportive. I think he was surprised I was taking a job outside of coaching."
Walton admits that he will miss many of the aspects of coaching.
"I will miss the teaching," Walton said. "I will miss taking a guy who is very, very raw and being able to work with him though out his career and to see how far that player comes.
"I will miss the relationship with the players. Outside of teaching them basketball you know you are going to have an impact on a young man's life. That is really why you get into coaching in the first place."
Walton's impact on the Bisons goes beyond his work and leadership on the court. He has also been instrumental in helping the Bisons become more involved in mission and volunteer work, including last year's trip to the Dominican Republic.
"Jay has touched every aspect of our program," Sanderson said. "He has been a very valuable member of our staff for a long time. He is the epitome of class.
"This day and time, especially in coaching, it doesn't happen that someone stays with you 15 years. I will miss his calming demeanor. He thinks before he speaks. He doesn't get too high and he doesn't get to low."
Time to move on
Robert Butler, president of Nashville Sporting Goods, has hired Walton to be an outside sales representative working with teams from middle schools to the university level. Ironically, one of his customers will be the Lipscomb athletic department.
Walton and his wife, Stephanie, have two children, Willie and Ruby. Like most parents Walton wants to be able to spend more time with his children.
"When you are on this level of college coaching it is tough," Walton said. "Every time we would leave to play Atlantic Sun Conference games we would be gone five or six days. That happened four or five times a year, not to mention recruiting travel.
"With the ages of my children it was getting tougher and tougher to leave. In basketball you miss Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am looking forward to that change in lifestyle."
Walton has never worked in sales, but he thinks that many of the things he has learned as a coach will help him in his new career.
"I will be around coaches every day," Walton said. "Having been in their shoes I think I will be able to provide them the level of service that they need. Part of being a coach is being a salesman. It is all about relationships and people skills.
"I like the direction of the company. I am excited about the opportunity for growth there."

Let's get this straight right now: I'm glad I'm not looking for a job. I'd hate to be one of those mentioned in one of these evaluations.
Let's get this straight right now: I'm glad I'm not looking for a job. I'd hate to be one of those mentioned in one of these evaluations.
"When she opens her mouth, it seems it is only to change whichever foot was previously there."
"This young lady has delusions of adequacy."
"A photographic memory but with the lens cover glued on."
"Has two brains: one is lost; the other is out looking for it."
I suppose any one of those evaluations could have applied to me at one time or another while I was holding down a job. Fortunately for me, I usually had understanding bosses. At one job, where the fourth of the above evaluations would have applied nicely, I forgot to insert an enclosure with a piece of outgoing mail. I found my boss downstairs and apologized — with several witnesses present.
Instead of chewing me out, as I think I deserved, he told me that no one is perfect and directed me in the proper way to "fix" my mistake. His kind words were also heard by all those witnesses. Talk about appreciative — that was the way I felt at that moment.
I went on to other jobs and probably could give examples of the way the other evaluations might have applied to me, but since I'm not out to make myself the laughing stock of the community, I'll not share those times with you. I gave one example just so you'd know I'm not talking about you.
If it seems like the first four evaluations applied to women, I'll add four more that definitely seem to apply to men, although I don't know any men who are that dense. For sure there are none in my circle of relatives and friends.
"One-celled organisms outscore him in IQ tests."
"This employee is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot."
"Since my last report, this employee has reached rock bottom and has started to dig."
(However, it seems he's still working. I wonder if he's a high-ranking government employee. You've heard the joke about the ones who are so bad and can't be fired, so they get promoted?)
"This employee should go far, and the sooner he starts, the better."
Okay, so now you know why I'm glad I'm not out looking for a job. With a job evaluation like any one of those, even the devil would not welcome me. He'd probably think I'm one of those Cajuns helping to cook jambalaya and our delicious Southern gumbo and potato salad as a fundraiser to air condition that place down below.
And, if perchance I go to that heavenly place above, it'll be air-conditioned already, and I won't have to worry about perfection. It'll already be perfect. I'd much rather go where everything is perfection and I wouldn't have to work to make it better. After all, isn't it better to look forward to a better life after death?

The vacant lot may get a barbecue grill, picnic table, volleyball net and, perhaps, a recycling center. That's unless there's an agreement with the guy who has taken to parking his Jamaican jerk trailer on the sandy plot.
What a shame that the Church wasn't reaching out to the community.

Dr. Wolfgang von Khaos has not received any gifts yet
"I was wondering... what, in your mind, qualifies people as a "non-theist"? It's a strange, almost precarious term, as it implies much but says little. What does a man of science, as yourself, have to say about such things?"
Hmmm. Yes, indeed almost 'precarious' perhaps.
After all, it was the theists who invented the word 'theist' and then 'non-theist' and 'atheist'--and it has been christian theists who have been writing the dictionaries of the last centuries.
I have wondered for some time what changes would result if someone like me or you or Christopher Hitchens etc. were allowed to define some key dictionary words used by atheists.
Words like non-theist and atheist, as used by theists, are used to imply a situation of being against theism. But rather we are surely pro-rationality, pro-reason, pro-logic---and it is because of all that, plus the ultimate in applying common sense, it turns out that we aspire to intellectual reality and honesty instead of the unscientific faiths founded by illiterate Bronze Age goat herders and desert camel drivers. I am now thinking that this has the makings of a worthy topic for discussion.
hey! PA is pretty nice - can get a bit too chilly in January or February but what can ya do?
Hows Worcestershire? Have you ever been to the US?

Students traveling abroad to participate in international health programs may face a variety challenges and risks for which they may not be prepared. These include unfamiliar cultures and languages, political instability, and infectious diseases and other health hazards that are uncommon in the USA. To assist students in preparing for these conditions, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine requires that these students comply with the following guidelines prior to departure from the USA. It is a requirement that you register with International SOS..
International SOS manages and administers Yeshiva University's international travel portfolio by providing 24-hour international medical, security, and travel assistance. International SOS is the world's largest medical and security assistance company, with more than 6,500 professionals in 24-hour Alarm Centers, international clinics, and remote-site medical facilities across five continents. Through their worldwide network of alarm centers, clinics, and health and logistics providers, International SOS offers local expertise, preventative advice, and emergency assistance during critical illness, accident, or civil unrest. To qualify for all of these safety services, it is mandatory that all students, staff, and faculty undertaking university-sponsored international travel related to their Yeshiva/Einstein studies and/or work (including school-sponsored programs and individuals engaged in independent research or work abroad) register their travel. For membership number, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Engage in a program of self-study for cultural orientation. An excellent, quick and succinct source of historical and cultural information about any developing country is the Lonely Planet web site and books.
What can I expect when I return?
On return students should continue to make their experience have an impact, both for the global partner organization (in ways they discuss prior to and throughout their time abroad — for instance, amplifying their voices, making contacts, seeking needed supplies, etc.), as well as for the Einstein community (through written reports, published material done in coordination with the local group, oral presentations and mentorship of other students).
Ideally, students continue in contact with their global partners and friends throughout their careers, seeking to continue a relationship of "solidarity" (sharing, rather than "charity"—giving what one does not want or need) with them and other global and local communities.
Through this web site you can share reports, presentations, as well as published and unpublished research.

Governor Dayton Cancels School Statewide
ST. PAUL - Gov. Mark Dayton is cancelling all public school classes statewide on Monday ahead of dangerous cold.
Dayton issued the order today (Friday). He says the safety of Minnesota's school children is the state's first priority. Dayton says all Minnesotans should be cautious about the weather in the coming days.
High temperatures on Monday are expected to be in the minus teens.
This is the first time a Minnesota governor has closed schools in response to cold weather since February 1996, when former Gov. Arne Carlson canceled schools as temperatures plunged to 30 below in the Twin Cities and minus-60 in Tower, Minn. Carlson also closed schools in January 1994.

- Efficacy of a single intravenous dose of VAY736 in reducing the clinical disease activity in pemphigus vulgaris patinets. [ Time Frame: baseline, 12 weeks ]The effect of VAY736 on clinical disease activity will be measured by the change in Pemphigus Disease Area Index (PDAI) between baseline and week 12. PDAI is an assessment of skin and mucosal disease activity by the Investigator. The score incorporates the number and size of lesions across multiple skin locations and the mucous membranes.
- Number of patients with adverse events [ Time Frame: up to an average of 12 months ]Summarized statistics on adverse events will be reported under categories such as total adverse events, serious adverse events and death
- Change in Autoimmune Skin disease Intensity Score (ABSIS) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]The effect of VAY736 on the ABSIS score will be compared betwen baseline and Week 12. ABSIS is a quality and quantity-based score of skin and oral mucosal lesions, combining the extent of the affected body surface area, the quality of the lesion and the extent of oral mucosal involvement, including food-related pain and discomfort.
- Change in Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) [ Time Frame: baseline, 12 weeks ]The effect of VAY736 on the IGA of a patient's disease activity will compared between baseline and Week 12. The IGA score ranges from 0 (no sign of active disease) to 4 (Severe active disease)

Ive got some problems with my employer, and Im thinking about going elsewhere in Asia. I just want to understand my options. In South Korea you get a work visa that lasts 1 year. One of the things that really irks me about South Korea is that if you want to quit your job and get another in SK, then you have to get a letter of release from your 1st employer in order to work legally or you have to leave the country and wait until your 1-year work visa expires before you can reenter. Well, as Im sure you can imagine, there are a lot of employers that dont provide these letters of releases like they should, so the teacher either has to put up with his employers b.s., try to fight the system legally, which is often futile, or pack his bags and leave the country. Is a letter of release required to change jobs in Thailand? Can a teacher just quit a bad employer and start working for a better one? Do you have to leave the country? Basically what I'm asking is what happens if you find out that your employer is a scumbag and you want out? What are your options then? Also, how common is it to work in Thailand illegally? How much do you get fined if you get caught working illegally? How long do they prohibit you from reentering the country if you get caught working illegally? Thanks in advance for the help. Back to top kenkannifJoined: 07 Apr 2004Posts: 550 Posted: Fri May 21, 2004 3:09 am Post subject: Well! Well it's not as bad as it sounds in Korea, but schools can make your life difficult if you have a work permit with them and wish to leave mid-contract, by not giving you things like your tax payment etc. But generally as most school won't apply for a WP for you from day one (generally you'll be on probation (i.e. working illegally) for the first 3 months plus....yes the better schools will get you a WP from day one...but they are in the minority!). When you leave a job you have to hand in your WP (or the school does) which means you only have 7 days to leave the country and get a new Visa, or activate a new entry (if you hold a Visa with more entries on). Sometimes if your new employer is quick they can convert the old extension to a new WP....again though this is rare! Most teacher here (in the 90%) have or do work illegally at some point in Thailand (either teaching a subject they're not supposed to, privates, working off location (as work permits are location specific) etc.). I've only heard of one person being deported for not having a WP....she was grassed up by a fellow teacher a few years ago...other than that it SEEMS a blind eye is generallt turned to people teaching English here (not condoning it but it happens!). I hope this helps somewhat? PM me if anything is unclear etc. Back to top Gringo GregJoined: 19 Jan 2003Posts: 263Location: Everywhere and nowhere Posted: Fri May 21, 2004 2:37 pm Post subject: If your employer is a scumbag, then you just leave the school. They have out provisions in the contract and as long as you keep ahold of your paperwork, you can walk whenever you choose. Otherwise your school can screw you over, but since you can easily work illegally here, that power is very weak.

Conimicut, Garden City, Edgewood's Hall Library, Providence's Waterplace Park and dozens of places around Rhode Island offer free concerts just about every night of the week. You can see the big names in Newport and at the Connecticut casinos. Jazz, folk and rhythm and roots festivals are on their way.
Here are two unique performances that you may enjoy.
Janka Nabay & The Bubu Gang
My spell check went crazy on this group from Sierra Leone who play "bubu," a frantically-paced electronic dance music with ancient, magical origins.
Janka has revived and modernized this music of the past as civil war raged in Freetown. Despite his efforts to make peace, Janka became a target and had to escape his native land. He lives in Washington, D.C., where he is joined by members of other groups, forming the first Bubu band in America.
Janka is working on a special project for the Olympics, writing and recording a song for the Sierra Leonean team, and will debut it on the road and at his performance in Providence's Kennedy Plaza on Thursday, Aug. 2 at 5 p.m. Should be interesting.
Eliot Lewis at Side Bar Bistro
National recording artist Eliot Lewis, a member of the Hall and Oates Band and former member of Average White Band, will present a free music event at the Side Bar Bistro, 127 Dorrance St. in Providence from 7-10 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 9. People are welcome to arrive for dinner at 6 p.m., or they can arrive later and sit or stand at the bar. For dinner reservations call 421-7200.
'The Who" coming to The Dunk
They are not coming until Feb. 13, 2013, but tickets are going on sale July 27 for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Peter Townshend and Roger Daltrey and The Who perform "Quadrophia" in its entirety, along with other great Who hits. Tickets range from $59.50 to $129.50.
If you can't wait that long to see superstars, the American Idol tour is at the Dunk on August 26, followed by Carrie Underwood's Blown Away Tour on Sept. 17 and Journey, Pat Benatar and Lover Boy on Sept. 29.
Sunset Music Series
We've enjoyed a few good evenings by the bay and under a huge tent at the Newport Sunset Music Festival in downtown Newport.
Lyle Lovett will be there on Friday, Aug. 3, followed the next night, Saturday, Aug. 4 by The Cowboy Junkies and the Pousette Dart Band.

Ameritox Leadership Supports Lawmakers, Pain Practitioners and Patients Confronting Crisis in Pain Medication Abuse
One in Four Americans Suffer from Chronic Pain; Recent Capitol Hill Briefing Educates Legislators on Need for Safe Treatment
Ameritox Chief Medical Officer Harry Leider, M.D., F.A.C.P.E., Among Expert Presenters
Jan 31, 2013, 09:30 ET
BALTIMORE, Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ameritox(SM), the nation's leader in Pain Medication Monitoring Solutions®, continues to address the prescription medication abuse crisis by educating lawmakers, physicians and chronic pain patients about the importance of ensuring that patients have access to needed medications, while keeping communities safe.
Chronic pain impacts one in four Americans – it affects more people than diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke and cancer combined – and is the most common cause of long-term disability in the United States.[1] According to a 2011 Institute of Medicine report, chronic pain costs society at least $560-$635 billion annually.[2] It is estimated that between four and eight million people suffering from chronic pain take opioid medications, prescribed by physicians to manage their condition and symptoms.
"With prescription drug abuse rising to epidemic levels in the U.S., physicians treating chronic pain patients have a critical charge: to ensure their patients receive safe, effective treatment, while also reducing the possible risk of misuse, abuse or diversion of these powerful drugs," said Dr. Harry Leider, chief medical officer of Ameritox. "For the millions of patients suffering from chronic pain, access to expert care and medication that can provide relief is crucial. It's important to ensure that policymakers, physicians and communities alike understand the magnitude of the problem and how to improve individual well-being and protect public safety."
Prescription pain medications are now misused and abused more frequently than illicit drugs like cocaine and heroin. However, individuals abusing powerful prescription drugs are typically not patients prescribed these medicines. Instead, teenagers, spouses and others in the home can take pills obtained through a family member's legitimate prescription.
"In recent years, the number of deaths due to drug poisonings has been greater than those due to auto accidents," Dr. Leider said. "In short, it is now more dangerous to have medications unattended in your medicine cabinet than it is to get into a car."
Dr. Leider shared this insight and others during a recent briefing on Capitol Hill regarding the need to provide chronic pain patients with effective treatments. The briefing was sponsored by the Coalition for Excellence in Medication Monitoring, of which Ameritox is a founding member. During his address to legislators and staffers from more than 33 House and Senate offices, Dr. Leider emphasized the value of using tools like pain medication monitoring which provide physicians with vital information necessary to make treatment decisions that can help keep patients safe.
Ameritox also supports recent expert Consensus Recommendations on the use and frequency of urine drug monitoring (UDM) for physicians treating chronic pain patients. Published in July in the journal Pain Medicine, "Recommendations for Urine Drug Monitoring as a Component of Opioid Therapy in the Treatment of Chronic Pain" state that patients treated with opioids for more than three months should be tested routinely. This is based on the fundamental principle that patients on chronic opioid treatments may have a significant degree of risk for misuse; and monitoring is necessary to help maintain patient safety and guide ongoing treatment decisions.
"At Ameritox, we're proud to advance the science of medication monitoring and UDM – and we also know that practical considerations and physician decisions are what drive progress in helping to protect patients," said Scott Walton, chief executive officer of Ameritox. "We provide more than just laboratory services and technology – we are committed to helping physicians gain knowledge that will enable them to use that technology to provide the best possible care for patients."
About Urine Drug Monitoring
Urine drug monitoring, or UDM, allows physicians to monitor the presence of pain medication in a patient's system, helping them to ensure the patient receives adequate medication to provide relief, while also helping to prevent potential misuse, abuse or diversion of powerful narcotics.
About Ameritox
Ameritox is the nation's leader in Pain Medication Monitoring Solutions®, offering specialized laboratory testing and reporting services. Ameritox's expertise and innovative science provide physicians with insights and support to enhance and optimize the care of chronic pain patients. Ameritox offers the most thorough pain medication monitoring lab process – Rx Guardian(SM) – with Rx Guardian CD(SM), the only pain medication monitoring process with a proprietary normalization algorithm and a reference database of pain patients clinically assessed for adherence. Patient results are compared against this database, helping physicians assess whether patients are taking their pain medications correctly. Monitoring through prescription drug testing helps physicians make more informed clinical decisions and manage the risks and complexities associated with prescribing pain medications. Ameritox is headquartered in Baltimore, Md. with laboratory facilities in Midland, Texas and Greensboro, N.C.

A FAKE Giants Fan
April 25, 2012
Hate betting against the Giants in fantasy baseball. So I want to start Hector Sanchez, but I feel like I should start Mesoraco against Zito
— Mack (@8thInnMackness) April 25, 2012
A true Giants fan doesn't ever question the Giants front office (except when asking why Brett "the babe" Pill isn't starting).
I don't know how people like this can even consider watching baseball. You should just go put on your twirly hat and pocket protector and leave the real fan stuff to us real die hards.

Oct. 24, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Strong defensive play down the stretch helped MIT seal its 3-2 win over Wheaton College in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) field hockey game on Tuesday night. With the win, the Engineers improved to 6-10 on the year and 3-5 in conference play while the Lyons fell to 13-6 overall and 5-3 in the NEWMAC.
Wheaton controlled the ball for the majority of the first half as MIT did not manage a shot on goal until halfway through the frame. The Engineers quickly followed up on their first attempt by converting their next shot for the first goal of the game. Coming off a side hit, Anna Ayuso collected the ball and found Lauren McCarthy who sent her shot to the far post. Tech maintained its slim advantage through the intermission.
The Lyons capitalized on their eighth penalty corner of the game for the equalizer in the 43rd minute. After receiving the ball from Alisa Ardito, Sara Dimick made several touches and then sent it to Alex Block for the goal. Wheaton continued to attack, but Cristina Stefanescu put MIT ahead with an unassisted tally at the 51:39 mark.
The Engineers maintained their momentum during the next 10 minutes as they extended their lead to 3-1. Ayuso initiated a fastbreak and then set up Amanda Hunter for what proved to be the game-winning goal. Wheaton quickly cut its deficit in half when Ardito knocked in the rebound of Dimick's shot with 7:14 remaining in regulation. MIT's defense was relentless during the final minutes as it thwarted any scoring opportunities by the Lyons.
In net, Alexa Herman collected eight saves for MIT while Mary Catherine Boll made five stops for Wheaton.
Both squads will compete in the NEWMAC Championship Tournament quarterfinal round on Saturday, Oct. 28 at 1:00 p.m. with pairings and locations to be determined.

Someone has figured out a storage method but of course a warning comes with that. You can possibly brick your box.
(This is not my method so don't ask me for the info. That will need to be directed to Gabriel who came up with it. You can see him on the Razer forum or Razer community on G+)

ADOPTABLE BOOT IMAGE by gabrielgagz
Well, guys the day has come finally we have support for USB devices, including the MarshMallow killer feature "Adoptable Storage".
It' s been alot of work to get this working! Reading and digging , trying and failing, but finally with success...
This is a patched boot.img, with the correct mount point for usb devices, nothing else, no kernel config has changed...so, still no cherry picks on that side..
Let's Start!
I am not responsible for bricked devices or dead USB sticks. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this IMAGE before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications. YOUR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID!
DOWLOADS FOLDER: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/g3oewr37wl13r/Forge
Enable Adb Debugging
Unlock your bootloader
REMINDER: The following steps probably will destroy all data on your Forge. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Type "adb reboot bootloader"
Once in the bootloader (black screen with Razer logo only):
Type "fastboot oem unlock" and "fastboot reboot bootloader" (or just reboot if you want to back to Android Tv)
At this point you have 2 methods to flash my modified boot image.
- Flash my ported twrp (search in the community, forum or google how to flash a recovery)
- Download adoptable_boot_image_recovery_by_gabrielgagz.zip
- Flash the zip with TWRP
- Reboot to System
- Done!
- Download adoptable_boot_image_by_gabrielgagz.img
- Enable adb and type in a terminal "adb reboot bootloader"
- Once in fastboot type "fastboot flash boot adoptable_boot_image_by_gabrielgagz.img"
- Reboot to System
- Done!
That's it! Once in ATV system you have to go to storage settings and use the usb as you want, external or adoptable.
If you choose adoptable, and your internal disk is almost full, it will take a while to transfer all files. Please be patient.
NOTE: If you previously flashed supersu, you have to reflash after the boot image
If you like this work you can contribute via paypal, i spent several hours of my free time doing this!
