Faculty & Staff
In addition to teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, the full-time faculty members are actively involved in their respective disciplines. Each year they publish numerous articles and books, present papers at state, regional and national meetings and secure research grants from private, state and federal sources to advance knowledge in their disciplines.
All teaching faculty of the department possess first-hand research experience in their specialties. From their first introductory courses to graduate level seminars, students will be taught by Ph.D. sociologists and anthropologists who have established national--and in some cases international--reputations in their field.

Suspects arrested on Grand St.
Beaumont police arrested two suspects Thursday, Sept. 20, near Grand Street for possession of a controlled substance, among other charges.
After pulling over a Ford Crown Victoria near downtown Beaumont on Grand Street, police placed suspects in handcuffs while they searched their vehicle. Upon closer inspection of the suspects, police say they noticed something in a male suspect's mouth.
One female officer told the man, "Spit it out!" as she placed her hands on the man's throat.
The man began screaming, "She's chokin me!," as he stood up to distance himself from the female officer. After a few verbal commands, the suspect was quickly taken to the ground by the female officer as a male officer assisted her in ascertaining what was in the suspect's mouth.
"I can see it, man! Spit it out!," the male officer told the suspect.
"I don't have nothing in my (expletive) mouth, man!," the suspect screamed.
Police say they were unable to pry what they said was crack cocaine from the man's mouth.
After offering the man medical attention for swallowing the crack cocaine, police said the man was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of a controlled substance.

I often dream I play professional baseball. Perhaps it's because I spend most evenings cooing over a great play or lamenting over a poor showing by the St. Louis Cardinals, but baseball seems to sit on my mind.
I often dream I play professional baseball. Perhaps it's because I spend most evenings cooing over a great play or lamenting over a poor showing by the St. Louis Cardinals, but baseball seems to sit on my mind.
Earlier this year, I took in a Cards/Cubs game at Wrigley Field in Chicago, my first trip to the shrine of baseball in the Windy City. Shortly thereafter, I dreamt I played for the Cardinals as a second baseman at Wrigley. I could smell the freshly-cut grass. I remember the crunch of the diamond dirt under my shoes. Yes, all this in a vivid dream.
Hey, I like baseball.
While my baseball dreams are the literal thing nowadays, things were a little more abstract in my youth.
Like most children at some point or another, I dreamt — perhaps envisioned is a better word in this context — of a life in baseball. While the Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees ruled the baseball roost throughout much of the '90s, the decade of my adolescence, my Cardinals still held their own. Particularly fun was the home run race between Mark McGwire of the Cardinals and Sammy Sosa of the Cubs in the 1998 season. We all know who won that contest.
Baseball was part of my childhood in the greatest baseball town in the country.
So naturally, my parents signed me up to play at the local YMCA at the ripe old age of six. Back then, the teams didn't have fancy names or great equipment. Heck, I think I played on the "purple team," the namesake of our t-shirt color.
I remember playing at least four summers on different teams. Navy blue, purple, white and gold. I remember playing mostly the infield positions. I was short and quick, but not particularly strong and couldn't throw the ball with accuracy for any great distance, so coaches plopped me at second base and shortstop most often.
And while I played at the YMCA, not exactly known to be a boon for future baseball greats, I still loved it and fostered a dream to play in the big leagues.
As I got a little older and the competition intensified, we moved from t-ball to coach-pitch underhand to coach-pitch overhand to, finally, kid-pitched games.
Coaches at that age of ten or so, ran the gamut of letting kids pitch. I remember my day.
I ran out to the mound in my YMCA t-shirt and cap, ball in hand.
And I let it fly.
The baseball flew way over the catcher and hit the backstop.
And again.
I could feel the color rise into my cheeks as my embarrassing showing continued pitch after painful pitch. I wanted the coach to take me out and replace me.
I looked into the dugout and pleaded with my eyes to replace me before I accidentally pitched a ball clear out of the field.
But the coaches were staid in their decision until I finally cleared the inning. I had never felt so embarrassed in trying something I thought I would be good at.
I see the value in keeping me in the game now.
To succeed at achieving a dream requires hard work and perseverance, the ability to bounce back when faced with tribulations and the ability to control your own destiny.
But there's another value worth learning: knowing when to give up.
That's why I'm sitting at my desk writing this column instead of taking laps around the diamond.
It doesn't hurt now, but it did then.

I've been looking at the database set up for the descendants of Benjamin Franklin. Of course they were able to construct a massive DNA project. Looking at this site has helped me understand what DNA can do for family historians. The chart (see above) with the predicted relationship percentages was especially helpful. Now I can see you can predict relationships 24 or more generations back, and also look at more recent generations. I did notice that mutations did not happen frequently.
It would be nice to have a known relative of James Forgey or Andrew Forgey tested. I have been trying again to find descendants. This is what I came up with.
James Forgey born 1766 Ireland had one son James R. Forgey
James R. Forgey had two sons who left male children Gabriel and James R.
Gabriel Forgey's sons:
James N. Forgey
Gabriel Forgey he had two sons Versel Ray Forgey and Gabriel R. Forgey
James N. had two sons who lived in Bristol, Tennessee Charles and James Forgey. Charles died in the 1990s I don't know if he left any children.
James R. Forgey Sr.'s sons:
James R Forgey b. 1886 died 1931 Didn't leave any children? Could not find any listed on Census
Frank Harland Forgey b. 1894 d. 1968 Only had two daughters Marion and Catherine
David S. Forgey b. 1898 Was in WWII and stated at that time he had no children?

I received an e-mail today from the 1940 Census Community Project Team and I am reproducing it here because of its importance. In today's technology oriented world there is no reason we need to wait for years to access the data provided by the census. Yes there are other ways to find your relatives in the census, such as using the OneStep Pages created by Steve Morse but what about those with fewer tech skills? Someone worked to index the previous Censuses for the rest of us, this is our chance to give back. There is even a mobile app you can download to index on the go. Try it, you'll like it! If you are a Scout Leader, get your troop involved! This could be a good service project. History teachers, this could be a good class project.

2013 Walleye Migration Underway on Maumee and Sandusky Rivers
Daily bag limit is four walleye until April 30
|COLUMBUS, OH – The annual appearance of migrating walleye in the Maumee and Sandusky rivers brings fantastic spring fishing opportunities,
according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
An annual phenomenon in northwest Ohio occurs each spring when a portion of Lake Erie's walleye population moves up the Maumee and Sandusky rivers to spawn. Although the fish caught represent a small portion of all Lake Erie walleye, the run brings hundreds of thousands of fish within casting distance of eager shore anglers.
Walleye spawning normally occurs in these rivers anytime from mid-March through mid-April, but the peak activity usually occurs the first week of April when the water temperatures range from 40 to 50 degrees. Moderately-high water also increases the number of walleye in the rivers, especially if river temperatures are warmer than lake temperatures.
The best fishing areas in the Maumee River are from Orleans Park in Perrysburg upstream to the end of Jerome Road in Lucas County. Sandusky River anglers will find better success from Brady's Island to Rodger Young Park in the city of Fremont. Fishing is prohibited upstream from Rodger Young Park to the Ballville Dam.
Anglers are reminded the bag limit for Lake Erie and its tributaries is four walleye until April 30. Anglers are also reminded that there is a year-round 15-inch length limit for walleye on Lake Erie and its tributaries to the first dam or designated landmark. Anglers can see the latest on the walleye biteor review the 2013-2014 Ohio Fishing Regulations at wildohio.com.
Fishermen who are wading also need to ensure they are prepared to experience an unexpected cold water immersion and should consider wearing a flotation device as well as fish with a partner. Though most anglers wade in the rivers while walleye fishing, some choose to fish from boats. ODNR advises boat anglers to always properly wear life jackets, take precautions against overloading their boats and capsizing, be well dressed to avoid the onset of hypothermia and be prepared to handle any emergency. Boats should never be anchored off the stern.
Special regulations are in effect for Maumee and Sandusky river walleye fisheries during March and April. Fishing is only allowed between sunrise and sunset in specified areas, and treble hooks are prohibited. Anglers may only use a single hook that is no larger than 1 inch from shank to point. Only fish that are hooked inside the mouth may legally be taken, and any snagged fish must be immediately released.
The sales of fishing licenses, along with the Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) program, continue to fund ODNR Division of Wildlife fish management operations. No state tax dollars are used for these activities. These are user-pay, user-benefit programs.
The SFR is a partnership between federal and state government, industry and anglers/boaters. When anglers purchase rods, reels, fishing tackle, fish finders and motor boat fuel, they pay an excise tax. The federal government collects these taxes, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service administers and disburses these funds to state fish and wildlife agencies. These funds are used to acquire habitat, produce and stock fish, conduct research and surveys, provide aquatic education and acquire and develop boat accesses.
ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.com.

A Day in the Life of the Powell Family
A photographic essay by 1998 Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute participants
Introduction / Father / Mother / Daughter / Slaves / Summary
Benjamin Powell (born by 1732, died 1791)
- Head of household
- Husband and father
- Grandfather
- Father-in-law
- Master to slaves
- Master to apprentices
- Eligible to vote
- Legal representative of family
- Building contractor
- Carpenter
- Landowner/Planter
- Common Council
Committee of Safety
- Grand juror
Mr. Powell awakens soon after Mrs. Powell has begun her day. He bathes and shaves at the wash stand, and then dresses for the day.
Mr. Powell plans his day, reviews business and household finances, writes several letters, reads the Virginia Gazette and studies his architectural books. Mrs. Powell, Hannah, and Rose, Mrs. Powell's personal slave, go to the market in town.
Cate serves breakfast as soon as Mrs. Powell returns from the market.
After breakfast, Mr. Powell puts on his wig, waistcoat, coat and hat. He goes into town to conduct business. His first stop is at the Capitol, where he is Keeper of the Capitol Key, responsible for maintenance and repairs of the building.
Mr. Powell walks down the hill from the Capitol to the Gaol to check for any necessary repairs. His next stop is at the recently completed Public Hospital. Mr. Powell was the building contractor for the hospital, and continues to oversee the final stages of the interior work.
Mr. Powell passes Bruton Parish Church on the way to a meeting of the local Committee of Safety at the Courthouse. He stops, as he often does, to admire the bell tower, which was one of his earliest building contracts in the city.
Mr. Powell returns to his home at two of the clock, just in time to welcome Mr. James Geddy, the silversmith, and his wife. The Powells and their guests sit down to the main meal of the day, elegantly served and with enough variety to appeal to every taste. Mr. Powell takes his place at the head of the table. Mrs. Powell directs the service of dinner, and makes sure that the art of conversation is practiced.
Mr. Powell and Mr. Geddy remain at the table after dessert has been cleared, while Mrs. Powell escorts the ladies into the parlor for tea. Soon the gentlemen join them for music and dancing.
The young ladies and gentlemen continue their dancing into the evening hours. Mr. Powell enjoys a rest in his chair in the bedchamber. He hopes that by socializing with the right young gentlemen, Hannah will make the acquaintance of a suitable suitor.
After a light supper of leftovers from dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Powell retire for the night at about ten of the clock.

President Felipe Calderón of Mexico unveiled a "No More Weapons!" billboard made with crushed firearms on Feb. 17 near an international bridge in Ciudad Juárez. The billboard, which is in English and weighs three tons, can be seen from the United States. Calderón said the billboard's letters were made out of weapons seized by local, state and federal authorities. "Dear friends of the United States, Mexico needs your help to stop this terrible violence that we're suffering," Calderón said in English during the unveiling ceremony. "The best way to do this is to stop the flow of automatic weapons into Mexico." Before unveiling the billboard, Calderón supervised the destruction of more than 7,500 automatic rifles and handguns at a military base in Ciudad Juárez. Calderón said more than 140,000 weapons have been seized since December 2006, when he launched a crackdown against drug traffickers. More than 47,500 people have been killed since then.

Pfeiffer returns to action next Thursday, Feb. 27 as they host Brevard. The match is set to start at 2:00 p.m.

Years ago, I dated a lawyer, and it always irritated me that when we would go somewhere socially someone would inevitably come up to get some free legal advice. One time I said something to someone who then responded, "Hey, if he's in that line of work, he should expect that kind of thing."
Well, yes, in a way for friends and family. But why should anyone give away a service for which he or she would normally charge? And why should someone be expected to do it in a social environment?
Of course, this is a question faced by IT pros as well. I can't imagine that there's an IT pro out there who has not been in the position of mentioning what he or she does for a living and then having someone casually say, "I've been having some problems with my computer..."
I'd like to get your viewpoint on the subject. Please take the poll below and let me know how you feel about giving free tech advice to near strangers in a social situation.

Viper Aircraft Corp. pilot Alain Garcia and professional test pilot Len Fox of L.A. Fox Unlimited have received their Authorized Experimental Aircraft certificates in the Viperjet aircraft.
"To my knowledge, Viper Aircraft is the first experimental aviation company in its class to receive an Authorized Experimental Aircraft certificate," said Scott Hanchette, president. "It is, in essence, an Experimental aircraft version of a Type Rating. The holder of this endorsement on their airman's certificate will no longer need to receive a Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the FAA.
"This is really an asset to our company and clients," he continued. "After completing the recommended training syllabus and fulfilling the certificate requirements, our clients will be able to add this designation to their license."
The Authorized Experimental Aircraft certificate is part of the FAA Vintage and Experimental Program established to standardize pilot qualifications, training and certification in experimental aircraft. Pilots must pass a comprehensive review and flight evaluation by an
FAA Designated Experimental Aircraft examiner.

Los Banos beekeeper Gene Brandi, who handles nearly 2,000 colonies at the peak of the season, says about half the colonies are from California and the rest come mostly from the upper Midwestern states but also from as far as Florida and Pennsylvania.
Brandi has been a beekeeper for the past quarter-century, and is chairman of the National Honey Board. He is a past president and current legislative chairman of the California Beekeepers Association. His business is about 60 percent from honey and beeswax and 40 percent from pollination fees.
The supply of colonies, he says, appeared to be adequate as of early February. "Last year we had a bit of a shortage after some Texas bees were turned away, but at this point I can't foresee any major shortage."
Bees are imported from the other states because California's foothill, coastal, mountain and desert areas can support only about a half million colonies on a year-round basis.
"Even in a good, wet, El Nino year that would be good for honey production, we still have a hard time finding enough honey-producing locations for the bees we have," he says.
Pollination season
The almond pollination season from early February to mid-March is the main event in the bee industry. The rest of the year, which Brandi says is their toughest time, beekeepers work hard to bring their colonies up to strength.
Some business comes from seed alfalfa, apples, plums, melons, cherries, citrus, or avocados, but the colonies are mostly placed in rangeland sites to forage on native vegetation such as sage, clover or eucalyptus.
To be ready, most beekeepers start moving colonies into almonds a couple of weeks before bloom is anticipated, balancing catching the onset of bloom with keeping the bees from wandering off before blossoms appear. "If we waited until 5 percent bloom to start moving them in we'd never get through in time," Brandi says.
Although the recent cold snap in the San Joaquin Valley may delay the almond bloom a bit, the normal colony placement schedule should intercept the bloom.
Bloom varies according to the almond varieties, traditional Nonpareil and Mission orchards flowering before the Butte and Padre orchards. But with the increased acreage of the later varieties the pollination season has been extended to later in March.
Brandi says he expects the price of pollination this year will be about the same as in 2001. The California State Beekeepers Association survey for the 2001 season showed an average cost of about $45 per colony. Almond pollination averages two colonies per acre.
Honeybees coming into California are subject to California Department of Food and Agriculture quarantine regulations to prevent entry of colonies contaminated with varroa or tracheal mites harmful to the bees.
Varroa mites reproduce in the honeybee brood cells and can rapidly decimate a colony. The bees have partial resistance to the mites. California beekeepers had some success in control with a fluvalinate, but the mites developed resistance to it. Three years ago they switched to coumaphos under a Section 19 registration, but the mites are reported showing resistance to it too.
Microscopic tracheal mites attack the respiratory systems of drone bees and shorten their longevity. Beekeepers have some control against mites with menthol or by using patties of shortening to prevent mites from attaching to the bees.
Imported fire ants
In recent years more quarantine attention has been given to imported fire ants, common pests in Southern states. If shipments are found to be contaminated, there is a protocol to destroy the ants, which can be carried on soil clinging to pallets.
Colonies contaminated with the ants were brought into California for several years before controls were in place. Now the industries in Texas and California cooperate to avoid spreading the ants with contaminated colonies.
The much-touted invasion of aggressive Africanized bees, first found in California in 1994 in Blythe, continues to be a public concern, and some such bees were found recently in Tulare County. However, Brandi, a member of the California Africanized Bee Steering Committee, says he isn't overly concerned about them.
The tropically adapted Africanized bees tend to spread into suitable climates but reports from South America suggest they are possibly slowed in a transition zone with California's European honeybees.
"Nobody knows for certain where it might be, but they may be approaching some natural limit, given the fact they have taken so long to move from Blythe to the southern San Joaquin Valley. To date, it has not been any big public health problem, but prudence and caution are always wise around bees."
Adopt gentler traits
He adds that according to DNA research at the Carl Hayden Bee Research Center at Tucson, Africanized bees in Arizona, while still more defensive, have taken some traits of the gentler European bees.
Statistics will soon be released by the National Agricultural Statistics Service for the honey production for the 2001 season, and the California average output is expected to be down perhaps 10 pounds from the 70 pounds per colony in 2000.
"The 2001 season for California was not a good honey production year," Brandi says. "Lots of our growers made only half the average, and some were below that. It depended on which area and the rainfall. It's a lot like dryland farming."
The industry, he says, will see some impact from the state seed alfalfa acreage. It has been shrinking in recent years, from about 100,000 in 1999 to about 30,000 expected this year. Although he has been serving seed alfalfa growers in the Tranquillity area in the summer for years, some beekeepers avoid that crop because of its typical proximity to cotton and high potential for damage from pesticides. "It's been a good source of cash flow for me for about half my bees, but I wouldn't take all my bees to seed alfalfa," he adds.
Even though cotton growers, aware of the value of the sensitive bees, try to use milder, shorter residual chemicals and nighttime spraying, the risk remains.
Some California beekeepers prefer to move colonies in May to Idaho, Montana, or the Dakotas, where they remain until temperatures drop sharply in November.

Beware the Ides of March. Industry leaders are hoping it won't be as drastic for them as it was for Julius Caesar, but March 15, 2005, could be a challenging time for U.S. cotton producers.
For openers, there's the anticipated ruling by a WTO panel on the U.S. government's appeal of an earlier WTO finding that the U.S. cotton program injured Brazil's cotton farmers.
The new panel, which was scheduled to hear the U.S. appeal in Geneva, Switzerland, Dec. 13, is expected to issue a final decision on the Brazilian case in mid-March, a National Cotton Council staff member said.
"Council Chairman Woody Anderson and President Mark Lange were in Washington for discussions with the U.S. Trade Representative," said John Maguire, the NCC's senior vice president for Washington Operations. "They have been very engaged in this process."
Maguire, speaking at the annual meeting of the Agricultural Council of Arkansas in Memphis, Tenn., on Dec. 3, said NCC leaders are hopeful the Dec. 13 hearing will help the appeal panel resolve the complaint in U.S. cotton producers' favor.
"We have been preparing our defense," he noted. "The U.S. government is our attorney in this case. Gary Adams (the NCC's vice president for economics and policy analysis), Mark Lange, (attorney) Bill Gillon and others have done fantastic work in helping the USTR get ready for the case."
In the September ruling, a three-member WTO panel found that U.S. Step 2 payments are prohibited export subsidies, not protected by the Peace Clause under Article 13 of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture.
Some U.S. domestic support programs — marketing loans, counter-cyclical, market loss assistance and Step 2 payments — were found to cause significant suppression of world cotton prices in marketing years 1999-2002, causing "serious prejudice" to Brazil's interests.
NCC leaders have criticized the findings, saying they do not believe the United States or any other WTO member intended that the WTO agreements be interpreted as the panel did. They also cited studies by Texas Tech University and the Food and Agriculture Organization indicating the U.S. cotton program had little impact on world prices in recent years.
"The December hearing will be important, and we will continue to stay involved," said Maguire. "We will also be looking at some alternatives. The good news is that nothing in the Brazil case requires changes in the farm bill in the short-term."
Congress is also expected to decide whether the United States will remain a member of the World Trade Organization in March and whether to extend fast track authority for the president in June.
"At the end of the day, the reauthorization of the WTO membership is expected to pass, but the debate will be very intense," said Maguire. "Anti-globalization groups, environmentalists and others will be making their views known."
Agriculture will be asked to weigh in on the side of staying with the WTO and extending fast track authority. "The USTR will tell you that agriculture is the key to making trade agreements work," he notes. "So we will be called upon to participate in that debate."
Congress could also be settling in to a debate on how to address the federal budget deficit by the time March rolls around. That debate is likely to include budget reconciliation, says Maguire.
"Remember that a budget reconciliation is when the government tries to balance its books," he said. "The budget committee writes a budget that lists projected outlays. Then you go back to the individual committees that have jurisdiction over those programs and they make modifications to meet the budget committee's instructions."
The agriculture committees, for example, will be required to reconcile or change farm programs so that the projected spending matches the budget committee's instructions.
"We have some concerns in the budget reconciliation about payment limitations, Step 2 and certificates, Maguire says. "Those are always easy things for people to talk about as ways to reduce outlays. They can pit different groups against each other and small farmers against large farmers."
Adding to those concerns are media reports such as a Nov. 29 Wall Street Journal article about record farm income.
"They obviously have a different perception about what those figures mean than you do, but this type of article is likely to come up again and again in the budget debate," Maguire told the Ag Council members.
All of these events are likely to unfold at a time when Nebraska Gov. Mike Johanns, who is expected to be confirmed as the new secretary of agriculture in January or February, may still be trying to select his deputy and new undersecretaries.
"It's very possible that USDA will still be in a state of flux at a time when we need them to be stable," said Maguire. "It will all make for some very interesting times for those of us in agriculture."

Winnik, Getzlaf score 2 each as Ducks edge Flames 5-4
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
CALGARY, Alberta – Daniel Winnik and Ryan Getzlaf each scored two goals as the Anaheim Ducks edged the Calgary Flames 5-4 on Monday night.
Saku Koivu had the other goal for Anaheim, which opened the season with two road wins and will enjoy a rare three-day rest in this year's compressed schedule before hosting Vancouver in its home opener Friday.
Signed as a free agent last summer, Winnik has found instant chemistry on a line with Koivu and Andrew Cogliano. All three were in on Winnik's go-ahead goal at 4:02 of the third period, which broke a 3-3 tie.
Curtis Glencross had two goals, and Lee Stempniak and Alex Tanguay also scored for Calgary, which opened with consecutive home losses.
The culprit on the go-ahead goal was Tanguay, who was 150 feet from where it was scored. His pass into the slot on a Flames rush was picked off by Cogliano, who promptly turned and led a rush up ice that was eventually finished off by Winnik.
Winnik, with his third and fourth goals of the season, is tied with Chicago's Marian Hossa for the most goals in the very young NHL season and is suddenly just seven goals off his career high.
Getzlaf added his second goal of the night at 11:15 to make it 5-3, and, although the Flames got back to within one on Stempniak's breakaway goal three minutes later, Calgary was unable to get the tying goal past Jonas Hiller.
On the heels of a 4-1 loss Sunday night to the San Jose Sharks in which Calgary led 1-0 after one period, only to fall apart, the Flames got off to the worst possible start. Fans were still making their way to the seats when Anaheim opened the scoring at 1:06 on a nifty deflection by Getzlaf of Toni Lydman's point shot.
Koivu flicked in Cogliano's centering pass at 7:23 to make it 2-0, and Winnik's shot deflected off Wideman and behind Miikka Kiprusoff 3 minutes later.
With Anaheim up 3-0 on the scoreboard, 9-2 on the shot clock, and having sucked all the energy out of the Scotiabank Saddledome's normally boisterous sea of red fans, the Flames were looking for a spark — and they got one when Lydman was sent off for cross-checking at 16:15.
With new addition Dennis Wideman quarterbacking the power play, it took Calgary 39 seconds to connect when Wideman's shot was deflected in by Glencross.
Calgary cut the deficit to 3-2 with 26 seconds left in the first after Tanguay beat Hiller over the blocker on a wrist shot.
A penalty with one second left in the first put the Flames back onto the power play to open up the second period and again it was Glencross connecting with another deflection to tie it 3-3.
Calgary outshot the Ducks 14-3 in the second and could have taken the lead if not for some sharp saves from Hiller, his best being a pad stop of Stempniak on a breakaway that would have put Calgary in front.
Hiller finished the game with 21 saves, while Kiprusoff stopped 19 shots.
Notes: The appointment for Flames C Roman Cervenka (blood clots) to see a specialist in Phoenix about his condition was postponed until Tuesday. ... Seven of Winnik's 40 career goals have come against the Flames. His career high for goals in a season is 11. ... Calgary made two lineup changes, inserting center Blair Jones and defenseman T.J. Brodie in place of left wing Steve Begin and defenseman Derek Smith. Jones played in his 100th NHL game. ... Anaheim welcomed back defenseman Cam Fowler after he missed Saturday's opener with the flu. ... The Flames have eight more sets of back-to-back games. ... Anaheim right wing Teemu Selanne is tied with Phil Esposito for third all-time with 249 career power-play goals.

Ambience Blue: While it's a simple crop, is also true that you have a stylish way of operating (reminding your old av and sign as well). And Caster is a relatively originaly subject (they're almost all of Saber, Rin and Rider , thus I chose Ilya ^^). EDIT: Lol and + 1/2 point for the text (especially for how and where it is placed )
Anyway good work and welcome to the Fsn ship! You'll enjoy (maybe) with us 9,5/10
p.s. my sign: yes it's full of flaws, but it's my first self-made so I don't expect it to be outstanding. But thanks for suggestions
Cyz: That signature is really beautiful! There's no much to go into details, I feel that all of the elements blend together perfectly. Anyway, the Saber pic source is marvellous, so sexy and pretty, the background matched perfectly and I love even the fonts. 9/10
KiNa: While it seems to me that someone said the close up picture isn't good, I have to say I like it. The glasses effect is also good, so I don't feel like criticize it. Also the background is quite nice (perhaps all this purple.. hmm .. but it's Rider main colour after all). I'm not totally fond of the picture behind, don't know how to explain with words. And those finger outside of the border don't look good.
Last, plus for realizing a nice sig with Rider clothed, I don't see the urge to go S&M to be effective 9/10

@Aahhsin - Well, there is a faded white inner border with a 55% fill/opacity. Maybe I shouldn't have overlayed it but yeah, a black border would kill the sig IMO. For the text, I find it to suit quite nicely. As for you pokemon sig, it's not bad. A nice image cut, with some effective border. The style's not particularly creative in anyway but it gets the message across that you're a pokemon fan. 7/10

@ Aahsin ... ugrh .. fake transparency . Biased rating 40%. I prefer your angelic sig more >.<
@ Sakura-chan ... Love the BG.. and despite the text is small and hardly readable ... it compliment the BG well .. No comment on the guy, maybe a good choice of main image.. quite matching style .. 87%
@ Komataguri ... Bald man FTW very simple manga sig ... nice border ... While the sig is kinda look empty... but match his baldness ^-^ Im sure OhNo would him ... 82%
@ KiNa ... my current sig have 2 variations ... I dont think the other one would be .. appropriate.. to be used here . Anyway, the Rider on the left is the only matching image that fit the quote ... I'll see if I can edit the other variation to be use here later .. Its basically the same except for the left image.. and both being animated .. Its also huge in filesize as well, so I need to trim out the animation >.<

word. this really doesn't mean anything… just word.
It's going to mean something when I drop the word "hammer" on you up the steeps!
You too EWEB. Just like cross season.
oh, no you did not! game on!
And just like that, the 2010 40 at 20 was on.
Here at Performance Bike corporate HQ we have a Wednesday evening tradition, once the weather starts to shake off the early spring chill and we get that extra hour of daylight, that we like to call the 40 at 20. As you might have guessed, the goal (and the route, usually) is the same every week: average a pace of 20 miles per hour over a 40 mile route of rolling country roads (and a few real hills) with 2 all-important, hotly contested, county line sprints! You never know who will show up to try their luck, but the rules are always the same: show up with a sense of humor (everyone gets made fun of at some point), keep the pace when you take your pulls at the front, and be sure you know the way back… because there's a good chance no one will wait up if you get spit out the back!
So without further ado, we present the first in a series of mostly true, but definitely entertaining, ride summaries from our sometimes epic 40 mile group ride (which is currently only 30 miles long since we don't quite have enough daylight after work yet), as seen through the eyes of Randy Jones, our mercurial receiving guru (and crafty sprint master).
First ride of the year:
With bluebird skies, mid 70s temps, and the day's loose ends tied, nine of us suited up in our sausage casings and took to the Chatham County bi-ways. Leading out the pack was Ben and John, both clearly possessed of the demons as the ride was quickly up to pace in less than a country mile. Chatter was as brisk as the pace and tales of 'Cross season victories, the latest NY Times bestsellers list, early Spring fitness (or lack thereof), upcoming shows at the Cat's Cradle, and electrolyte replacement aftertastes blanketed the peloton with exuberant camaraderie.
When the talk shifted from scuttlebutt to pack position, we all knew the county line sprint was fast approaching. Jones and Rogers were leading the paceline, both acutely aware of the periphery and waiting to hear the tale-tale downshift of the first attacker. Gillis was the first to make a move, attempting to throw off the scent hounds with a flippant "I'm just the lead out!", but we all knew better and it was time to break out the hammers. Webster, Turits, McCarter, Rogers and Jones tucked in and hoped our fast twitch muscles were up to snuff. Rogers, lacking an internal GPS, assumed the line was closer and jumped early; Turits and Webster countered, pulling Jones and McCarter along and out of the initial sprint group. With 30 yards to go, Turits must have kicked in the afterburners, because I could swear I heard his tires catch fire as he pulled away to victory. Webster hung on to second, while Jones took third. Breathing was labored for all for the next 2 miles.
At the 12 mile crossroads, decisions needed to be made: hang a right for the shorter loop, or head straight and continue the fast pace to outrun the setting sun? Tommy V and Ali opted for the former, claiming a forgotten spreadsheet data entry set and a photo sample request that needed their attention. The rest of us put our heads down, ramped up the speed, and hoped that the Gu and Nuun bottle mix would be enough to sustain us for the next 18 miles. Pulls were strong and steady, with Turits flat-lining us all for most of the HWY 54 stretch. As we headed onto the rollers down Old Chapel Hill Greensboro Rd, Baker moved to the front for a nice recovery pace, giving us all a chance to think about the final hill sprint that would soon be just around the corner, over the crest, down into the valley and staring us in the face.
Once again it was Gillis leading out the sprint, with Jones hard on his wheel. As the grade angle increased Turits and Webster came around on the left with McCarter tight. Jones made a jump past Gillis, elbowed McCarter out of the way and locked on to Turits' wheel. Webster hung out left on his own, wisely knowing that he had the legs to drop Jones if Jones tried to keep pace with Turits. As before, the cannon legs of Turits fired and he dropped the chase like Girl Talk drops beats. Webster started pulling away from Jones, but was looking over his shoulder knowing that Jones would make one last push at the line; Jones did, but Webster's kick was too strong and he took second, Jones third.
Gillis pulled the group back home at a strong pace and we all patted ourselves on the back for holding a 20.3 MPH average for the first 40(30)@20 ride of the season.

Bureaucrats objected to gov't ad campaign: sources
A partisan government advertising campaign paid for by taxpayers raised alarms from the outset among senior public servants who serve Prime Minister Stephen Harper, The Canadian Press has learned.
The Privy Council Office, the non-partisan bureaucratic arm of the Prime Minister's Office, has never been comfortable administering the website for the Economic Action Plan -- and informed Harper of its misgivings at the time of last January's federal budget.
Those misgivings were heard, but overruled.
While the story is being denied by both PCO and PMO, the extraordinary claim originates from several sources within the famously discreet Privy Council Office.
The fact the story is being aired at all -- even under the cloak of anonymity -- suggests just how far the Conservatives are stretching the traditional boundaries of partisan behaviour in Canada's professional bureaucracy.
It reminds me of former Conservative candidates expressing reservations about the war room trying to circumvent clear Elections Canada rules. But, that's "old" news I suppose, nevermind a pattern of manipulation and voluntary disregard for honest engagement.
Today's "revelations" come on the heels of the Liberals launching a formal complaint:
The Liberals have launched a formal complaint with the Treasury Board alleging the Conservative government is "running roughshod" over rules against partisan advertising.
A sweeping national ad campaign to promote last January's federal budget measures has been blanketing the country at a cost of tens of millions of dollars.
Martha Hall-Findlay, the Liberal public works critic, says the Economic Action Plan ads are "unprecedented" and break at least four different government statutes, including the Financial Administration Act and the Canada Elections Act.
"The Conservatives are buying voters with their own money," Hall-Findlay said in a news release on Thursday.
"Not only is that unethical, we believe it's against the law."
The initial cost of the budgetary promotion - which includes a heavy rotation of prime-time television ads - was set at $34 million, but the Liberals researchers claim they've identified at least $56 million spent on the economic campaign from January to June of this year.
Vic Toews, the Treasury Board president, has refused to address repeated Liberal questions in the Commons about the total current cost of the ad campaign.
Figures for total government advertising for 2008-09 have not yet been released.
A staggering figure, but what's more concerning, the Liberals numbers don't include the spending we've seen in recent weeks and months. If my eyes don't lie, the recent blitz is unparalled, which should dwarf already obnoxious figures.
Given that this government rode in on its white horse, determined to bring good government, accountable and responsible government, their practices are all the more offensive. This government has already DOUBLED their advertising expenditure in the last two years, relative to what the "dirty" Liberals did. This current year will most certainly represent a new high, and it comes with increased emphasis on partisan gain. Again, not to underscore self inflicted wounds, but with an ad buy of this size, isn't it logically to assume the Conservatives are benefitting? I'm glad I could help.

One week later, status update:
I saw that Muppy007 came out, so I'm starting from scratch.
This leads me to a few intermediary steps before linuxwacom, so I'm running a bit behind.
By the way, for copying over firefox addons and profiles, I recommend
Now that I figured it out, I am that much lighter.
Note: I also tested QEMU-Puppy in order to just try to recompile the linuxwacom driver. Want to explore that more...but went for Muppy007.
Back soon...

I'm trying to get to this. I want to figure out the xorg-sdk thing again. I sort of remember how I got it the first time and suppose I could just copy it (/usr/X11R6/lib/Server) over from my working system to my new one. I will try that soon.
I would like to offer the file. I tried before but couldn't upload it to the forum. I will again next week (I'm on Windows this weekend).
In the meantime, I found this website: http://www.missirina.com/risujin/debian.php
I can't vouch for it, but I'm pretty sure the writer has more experience in Linux than I have. He/She offers a different way around the Xorg-sdk error.
Tablet Digitizer (Xorg7) top
If you do not care about rotation you can simply install the xserver-xorg-input-wacom package and it will enable your digitizer. If you do want rotation however, do not install this package.
To get your tablet digitizer working with Xorg7 you must download the LinuxWacom driver source (version 0.7.4 at the time of this writing). Tablet rotation support is planned for a future release but is only available as a patch for now. The patch you want to use can be downloaded from the Xournal homepage. Look for a link near the bottom of the page and get the patch file rather than the binaries.
The latest versions of the LinuxWacom drivers no longer have problems with the Debian paths and will compile just fine on their own. The procedure works as follows:
* Copy linuxwacom-0.7.2-rotate-patch into the src directory.
* Run patch -p1 <linuxlinuxwacom-0.7.2-rotate-patch to apply the patch.
* Now run ./configure, make, and make install. Make sure each of these returns no errors. If you are upgrading from X11R6 you may need to upgrade your X11 dev library packages to the latest versions.
That's it! The drivers should now be installed and the tablet will work when you start X11. You can test to see if the driver is working properly by running wacdump -f c100 /dev/ttyS0.
Tablet Digitizer (X11R6) top
This section is for X11R6 only!
It is not difficult to get the Wacom drivers working, however some work is needed to tweak them to support screen rotation. First of all we need to download the Linux Wacom drivers (version 0.7.2). These drivers do not support on-the-fly rotation and must be patched. The original location of the patch is down so I have uploaded a local copy. Download the patch and apply it to the drivers.
We can't compile the drivers just yet. Run ./configure and notice that it is missing various libraries (if it is not, you're set and can skip this part). The Debian paths for various libraries are different from other distributions so we need to make some changes.
First we need to make a fake X-Org SDK folder. Create the folder Xorg-SDK in your driver directory. Inside this folder, create a link to the Debian X-Org headers:
ln -s include /usr/include/xorg/
* Run ./configure --with-xorg-sdk=Xorg-SDK from the driver directory. The X-Org SDK errors should now be gone. There will still be errors about X11 headers.
* Now open src/Makefile in the driver directory and find this line:
DRIVER_INCLUDES = -I${XORGSDK_DIR)/include
For X-Org 6 change this line to read:
DRIVER_INCLUDES = -I${XORGSDK_DIR)/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11
The drivers should now configure, compile, and install just fine. To enable the Wacom device, open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add the following to the ServerLayout section:
Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
For the Portege, the tablet screen is just a regular Wacom tablet connected over through a serial port. We can enable it just like a serial Wacom tablet by adding the following sections:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "cursor"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "eraser"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Test if the driver is working properly by running wacdump -f c100 /dev/ttyS0.
Screen Rotation top
The following section should be added to the nVidia driver section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in order to enable screen rotation:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA ..."
Driver "nvidia"
Option "RandRRotation"
If you have properly performed the Wacom and nVidia driver installations you should now be capable of rotating the screen via the xrandr tool and also of rotating the wacom tablet coordinates via the xsetwacom tool.
I have compiled a rotate script for each Wacom patch that will do the work for you. If you're using the Xorg7 patch from Xournal use the Xorg7 rotate script. If you followed the old X11R6 instructions use the X11R6 rotate script. To use this script run it with one of the orientation names as an argument (normal, left, right, inverted) like this: ./rotate-xorg7.sh left.
The xrandr command will rotate the display via the nVidia driver and xsetwacom will rotate the tablet pointer orientation. Both commands are necessary although apparently only rotating the stylus is sufficient.

I gave a few hours up to this project and didn't get far.
I'm stuck compiling it because of a lib/cpp error, which I don't recall getting the first time I did it.
I read in these forums that the way around that is to create a new pupsave file, and that's when I crashed for the night.
Will try again soon. I'm spread too thin.

I can relate to that. Thanks for the updates, this is interesting to follow.
Just so you know (In case you don't) you can make an alien package once you get the drivers compiled like this:
mkdir /linuxwacom-0.7.4
make install DESTDIR=/linuxwacom-0.7.4
cd /
tar -zcf linuxwacom-0.7.4.tar.gz linuxwacom-0.7.4
Then you will have a file named linuxwacom-0.7.4.tar.gz at / which is your new driver alien package.
Sym links would need to be copied over to /linuxwacom-0.7.4 from their relative position in the / structure, prior to compression. They will appear broken but will be ok because their position will be different when one installs the alien package.
Config changes would be your only addition then.
If you still have trouble compiling, let us know exactly where you are downloading the source from and any patches you are using.
I wish I had a tabletpc so I could help

I bought a display model M200 just after Christmas to use as a laptop at school. It would be a big win for me to be able to work on my mostly C++ programming and UML assignments on a real Linux, rather than using Cygwin.
I'm eventually going to want to get the tablet working, though I imagine I'll continue using OneNote (shock, horror, thunder!) for classes, because I've grown pretty attached to it, plus I've got a good chunk of the term in there now.
I've got several questions, having not tried to do Puppy coexisting with Windows before.
First, I'm a little stuck as to the best way to get Puppy going on a laptop with no CD drive. I've got a desktop I can network the CD from if necessary. No USB CD or floppy drive, but I've got a 512MB USB key and a 1GB SD card if necessary. (I've read that you can boot
Second, I've tried to find on the forums details of Puppy/Linux in general's current state with NTFS. My understanding is that Puppy can write and read from NTFS, but anything it writes can't be understood by Windows, just Linux?
Is it worth trying to partition the drive, or should I just tuck my pup_save into a corner of the drive and install in Coexist mode?
Third, what's the most convenient way to get a dual-boot going? Is GRUB-for-DOS the way to go? Linux GRUB? Can Puppy do it out of the box or will some wizardry be involved? I definitely don't want to do any harm to my Windows install with any of this, I need the laptop for school.
Finally, I'll be grab to offer myself as another guinea pig for getting the tablet working. It doesn't seem like a DotPup we can publish as a one-stop Wacom Tablet (with rotation?) solutin is beyond reach, once we get the steps written down.
I'm mostly asking rather than answering right now, but hopefully I can bring a decently experienced Linux user (though I have much to learn), and a programmer to this little project.

Okay, I answered most of my questions myself:
First, I did it by just opening the ISO and dumping the files to C:\ from Windows.
Second, NTFS is pending, doing the "strongly recommended" defrag first, don't want to corrupt anything.
Third, I used GRUB-for-DOS with the help of the
project (fantastic resource, btw. Completely up-to-date and explicit about what to do on XP or 98, no guesswork or hoping it hasn't changed in the three years since the doc was written).
Finally, I'm still a guinea pig for the tablet stuff, and I'll be seeing what happens with that tomorrow.

For those of you following along, I made a small step...
I got over the lib/cpp error according to Dougal's advice in this post: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=11451&highlight=cpp
Note, this probably has nothing to do with linux-wacom, just in case someone else has the compiling error I received.
I'm happy, but can't go further just yet. Time is too precious.
Thanks for the votes of confidence and John Doe, thanks for the info about alien packages. Too much for me now, but I'll try and figure it out eventually.

I just got Puppy to recognize my wacom digitizer. It was surprisingly easy. Many of the steps that I previously went through were not necessary, I think.
It turns out that in the linuxwacom package, there is a directory for "prebuilt" drivers and such.
Using the preconfigured driver means no compiling, I think. No need for devx___.sfs, no need to run the ./configure script that comes with linuxwacom, no need to locate the xorg-SDK.
In my case the preconfigured driver is in the 32 directory because my computer is 32-bit. Because my version of Puppy uses X11R7, all I had to do is copy the preconfigured driver, wacom_drv.so into the following directory: /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/input
Then in a command prompt I typed "modprobe wacom" (this becomes autoloaded when xorg.conf is altered). Before altering xorg.conf, make a backup. It's in the directory /etc/X11.
Next, xorg.conf needs to be altered depending on your setup.
Section "Module"
Load "wacom"
To enable the Wacom device, open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add the following to the ServerLayout section:
Section "ServerLayout"
[keep whatever is currently there and add]
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
The following is for TabletPCs because the device is serial.
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "cursor"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "cursor"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Option "Button2" "3"
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "stylus"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "stylus"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Option "Button2" "3"
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "wacom"
Identifier "eraser"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Type" "eraser"
Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"
Option "Button2" "3"
Close xorg.conf and save it. Then you should restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace) and at the prompt type: xwin (or: startx). I don't know if you have to fully reboot or not.
That should be about it. Post your results. By the way, much of this should work for USB tablets, but some key settings are configured differently. Consult the linuxwacom site.
If someone wants to give it a try, please correct my instructions or let me know where my advice is lacking. THANKS ALREADY!
I STRONGLY recommend backing things up before messing around with xorg.conf.
Good luck,

That worked gloriously easily for me.
Something to add to your instructions:
- Mention that after saving the xorg.conf changes, one should restart the X server. It just wasn't clear that all the setup was done and it was time to do that.
Also, I got right-clicking to work with a little Googling and an intuitive guess based on a SaX2 tutorial: there's a "Button2" option, and setting it to "3" yields right-click behaviour from the pen button.
So the way to actually make it work is to insert the line
Option "Button2" "3"
at the bottom of each of those three [tt]InputDevice[/tt] sections from above.
Also, I typed "/dev/ttySO" with a letter O, and that doesn't work, it's a zero.

Thanks for the button tip, Braden.
I found that one out and meant to post it, but I'm still swamped with grading papers, the reason why I use my tablet pc.
At first I tried Jarnal, which is pretty cool, but then I figured out how to compile xournal and that's the one I'm really enjoying. It doesn't allow for typing at all, so that's one drawback. Really good with pdf annotation. Stylus eraser works in xournal!
I was trying to figure out how to rotate the screen to portrait mode, but I'm not really dissatisfied using my tablet in landscape only. That's the way I used it with windows.
One thing still bugs me, and that's that I haven't gotten it to suspend well. The computer makes for a better notepad when it preserves the session. That's next on my list.

I'm going to be looking into Xournal and screen rotation as well. It seems there's issues with screen rotation in X being divorced from rotation the tablet coordinates. Rotating one doesn't imply rotating the other.
Is there a way to import MS OneNote notes into any program for Linux?

It looks like I'm going to be using both jarnal and xournal because xournal has NO text at all.
Usually I handwrite over a student essay and then type my comments at the end.
That used to be GoBinder's job because it did ink and text.
xournal is less confusing and more limited, but I like it just a bit more than jarnal.
jarnal has some handwriting recognition. But handwriting recognition, which worked passably in Windows, isn't really worth it to me. That's just me. I'd rather type.
I have Xvkbd from a dotpup, which is useful when I'm in tablet mode.
There are other things like
I played a bit with these on windows but typing is so much faster to me...

hi mdd,
i don't know if anybody will try to make a dotpup, but that would be months away for me to try. i have a couple of work projects ahead that take precedence.
i have seen how to create a dotpup around, but not having done it yet, i fear it might take my slow self some time to figure out.
that said, it wasn't too hard to set it up. no compiling or anything, just copying some files and editing xorg.conf.
post if you try and get stuck.

Six teams of five Brooklyn skateboarders competed for a $2,000 cash prize. The winning team from each borough receives a $2,000 cash prize and advances to the finals, where the top 12 teams will compete at L.E.S. Skatepark in Manhattan on August 16, for the $10,000 first place cash prize.
Team Soul eventually topped Brooks Squad to win the Brooklyn qualifier.
In addition to the $10,000, Team Soul is also now competing for airfare and accommodations to South Africa to compete in the World Skateboarding Rider Cup world championships during the 2014 Kimberley Diamond Cup.
"It's an exciting new type of contest for the skateboarding industry," said Tim McFerran, president of World Skateboarding Grand Prix. "While skateboarding is generally perceived as an individual event, when you add a team element where you're representing your town and competing against other great skaters from different towns, it brings a whole new level of excitement."
Next stop on the qualifying tour is Queens, when skateboarders from that borough will battle it out at the skatepark in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Saturday, August 2.
