Buildings about to start sprouting around Innovation Square/
By Anthony Clark | The Gainesville Sun
Trimark Properties is moving forward with new buildings in and around Innovation Square after picking a construction manager for the eight-story Infusion Technology Center and plans for apartments, a dorm and a co-work space nearby.
Charles Perry Partners Inc. built the University of Florida Innovation Hub in 2011 and now will build Trimark's $30 million Infusion building next door.
The Hub and Infusion location are on the former Shands at AGH property owned by the UF Development Corporation along Southwest Second Avenue between campus and downtown.
"By selecting CPPI, Trimark has committed to keeping the majority of construction dollars within the local economy," CPPI Chairman and President Breck Weingart said in a news release.
The company recently moved its Diversified Projects Division to a renovated office in the Square.
Groundbreaking for the Infusion Technology Center is expected in the third quarter of this year with construction complete in 2014.
The building is designed to house companies that are interested in working with UF as research partners or to hire graduates.
Trimark has serious interest from a handful of technology companies, including some that want multiple floors, said Managing Partner John Fleming. He said he expects some announcements from the companies within the next 30 days.
The 150,000-square-foot building will include lab space, office space and a rooftop terrace. It also will include 10,500 square feet of restaurant/retail space or small companies in as many as four spaces on the ground floor.
"We will be looking to engage a coffee shop, small deli or small restaurant in one or more of the available spaces," Fleming wrote in an email to The Sun.
The building was designed to achieve Green Globes certification from the Green Building Initiative, an alternative to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards.
Trimark also will be building UF's INSPIREation Hall — a dorm slated to open in 2015 for students who want to start a business — on property the company owns across the street.
The developer hopes to break ground in August on a 77,000-square-foot apartment community called Savion Park with 115 bedrooms in 55 units just south of the Square on the site of the former Compassionate Outreach Ministries church that was demolished last year.
Fleming referred to Savion Park as a transition property for students and young professionals.
"It's on the edge of a very student-oriented district but also on the edge of a young professional district, on the edge of Innovation Square," he said.
The apartments should be ready in July 2014, he said.
Trimark is in the beginning stages of planning Nimbus, an 8,000- to 10,000-square-foot co-work space — or shared office — on the perimeter of the Square and probably will start construction in the fall of 2014, Fleming said.
While he said there is space in the Hub for startup companies and throughout Innovation Square for larger companies, "What we are missing at the moment is for the architect who wants to stop practicing at his house or her house or a lawyer who wants to be part of Innovation Square and can't afford 2,000 square feet but just needs an office, and small startup companies that for whatever reason don't fit within the Hub and just have an idea.
"We're getting a lot of interest."

Announcing Vine: A new way to share video. blog.twitter.com/2013/01/vine-n…— Twitter (@twitter) January 24, 2013
Hmm, I've already got YouTube, Tout, and Lightt.
I guess I'll try it.
How To Find Vine in the Apple App Store
Good luck finding it on the iPhone App store! There are one million games in there with the name 'vine."
Better idea: Go here http://www.vine.co from your browser and click to get the the App Store.
I wonder why it's not just part of the twitter app.
Got it.
After you get the app, when you open it, you see the top editor's pick video.
Right now it's a staring contest.
Vine: Welcome Screen (for now) Staring contest. twitter.com/stevegarfield/…— Steve Garfield (@stevegarfield) January 24, 2013
This will get old, fast.
Here's my first Vine video.
Hallway. First Vine Video. In camera assemble edit. vine.co/v/b5HeTZg9dDm— Steve Garfield (@stevegarfield) January 24, 2013
Embed code needs an option to turn off auto play, although at 6 seconds long, with the default of muted audio, it's not that bad.
The ability to easily record multiple clips, one after another, is smart and is going to lead to a lot of creative videos being produced.
Your thoughts?
It seems like you can only use the back camera on iPhone.
I can't figure out how to tweet a vine, from vine.
Seems like this feature has been removed temporarily to fix it.
I've been sharing video moments since 2004 on a blog.
Now they get shared immediately via Twitter and FB.
Powerful. Easy. Universal.
Check this from Chris Brogan: 11 Things A Business Could Do With the New Vine App
Looking forward to his book, Vine for Business. ;-)

Today's Capital One Bowl (one of only a handful of bowls that are still on broadcast television) has been an exciting barnburner, tied at 31 as of this writing and featuring loads of offensive action. It was a failure to score points, though, that might be the most memorable moment of the game. Here's Nebraska coach Bo Pelini and the rest of his staff reacting with a bit too much emotion after Georgia missed a field goal late in the first half. [ABC]

The Jets' longest road trip of the season kicks off tonight in Philadelphia, but most of the attention has been focused on reports that promising forward Evander Kane wants a trade.
Seven Games On The Road
Tonight, the Jets kick off a stretch of seven games on the road . After playing the Flyers, the Jets will play a couple of divisional opponents (Tampa Bay and Florida) before heading to the New York area to play the Islanders, Rangers, Devils and Sabres – a stretch of four games in six nights, with the middle two games being back-to-back.
The Jets have not been good on the road to date, going 0-3-1 outside the confines of the MTS Centre. Still, it is quite early and the Thrashers were (relatively) decent on the road last season: they went 17-24 at home and 17-24 on the road, so perhaps this trip will give them an opportunity to shift their road fortunes. There are a lot of games in a short span, but this isn't a visit to murderer's row – there are a number of beatable teams for the Jets to play in the next two weeks, and with Chris Pronger out of the line-up for Philadelphia tonight, the Flyers are probably one of them.
This is something of a crucial stretch for the Jets, even at this early juncture of the season. They currently sit dead last in the Eastern Conference with a 2-5-1 record; a bad run over the next seven games wouldn't exactly eliminate them from playoff contention, but it would make it difficult to talk about the club as anything other than an also-ran.
Kane Happy In Winnipeg
One of the delightful little side effects of the ever-increasing role of social media in hockey reporting is the proliferation of rumours; stories formerly passed along by word of mouth can be re-tweeted with the click of the mouse (or the push of a button on a smartphone), and can take on a life of their own.
That's what Evander Kane says happened with a report that he wanted out of Winnipeg. Courtesy of the Winnipeg Free Press:
"No I have not (asked for a trade). I guess people on social media come up with rumours."
"I can't speak for anybody but myself. The story started on some blog. I haven't even read it. I don't know what to think. I haven't asked for a trade and I'm happy where I am and I expect to be here for a long time."
Hopefully, that will put an end to the rumours. On the one hand, Kane isn't likely to say anything else, but on the other hand the only support for the idea that he wants a trade comes from an amorphous report that nobody seems to want to put a name to. Unless somebody with knowledge and a reputation is willing to stand by the report as accurate, there isn't any reason to believe it.

From my days as a midshipman and throughout my career, I have been a believer, reading and learning from Proceedings and, to the best of my abilities, contributing articles to the journal's open forum. In so doing, I have stood on the shoulders of giants. To go back through the pages, back through the decades, is to meet remarkable thinkers, writers, and legendary leaders.
Some of my favorites include Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt writing in 1897 on "The Naval Policy of America as Outlined in Messages of the Presidents of the United States from Beginning to Present Day." Following this three-page introduction, he quotes messages from George Washington to Benjamin Harrison, 13 Presidents spanning the Nation's first century, on the importance of naval power.
In 1909, Lieutenant Ernest J. King won the Proceedings General Prize Essay Contest with constructive criticism and pointed recommendations on improved naval organization – looking to centralization, teamwork, and sounder personnel practices. In 1912-1914, he was editor of Proceedings, so many years before he would pin on five-star rank.
In 1911, the birth year of naval aviation, Captain Washington Irving Chambers reported on recent aviation meets to which he had been sent as observer, and on the initial carrier flights made in 1910 by Eugene Ely. In December 1912, Lieutenant Chester W. Nimitz, who already held submarine command, wrote on the "Military Value and Tactics of Modern Submarines," discussing in detail the strengths of the new weapons system and urging the shift from gasoline to fuel-oil engines to eliminate the danger of fires and the curse of fumes driving crew members to sickness, fighting, and unconsciousness.
In 1925, 1926, and 1928, Marine Corps Commandant Major General John H. Lejeune would write on the current status and future plans of the Corps, a practice subsequent Commandants would emulate. In 1962 Marine Colonel R.D. Heinl, Jr., published a "white-hot" essay, "The Right to Fight," on the Marine Corps' victorious struggle for survival in Washington following World War II. The Institute was told not to publish it… but we did!
Proceedings has been the home to some of the best U.S. and foreign strategic thinkers. In May 1954, Professor Samuel P. Huntington of Harvard wrote on "National Policy and the Transoceanic Navy." Military services exist because of their contribution to national policy; they must answer the question 'What function do you perform which obligates society to assume responsibility for your maintenance?' He traced the Navy from its defense-of-the coast and commerce 'continental phase,' to fleet-against-fleet control, the 'oceanic phase' peaking in World War II, to the 'trans-oceanic-phase' projecting power from the sea to gain supremacy on land, at the beginning of the Cold-War era. His thinking and his writing have led us to today's Navy in its 'global operations' phase.
Defense organization and reorganization have come in for their share of Proceedings' attention. In July 1993, Lieutenant Commander Larry Di Rita published his classic "I Went Joint (But I Didn't Inhale)" on the 1986 Goldwater-Nichols Act and the new requirement for joint assignments: "To most naval officers, who are incurable ticket-punchers, one joint assignment is no better or worse than another. Whether you are the Chairman's executive assistant or the guy who's responsible for a joint fuel farm in Korea, it's a three-year tour working for guys who wear funny uniforms and salute without their covers on, to be tolerated until you can get back into the Navy, and never repeated."
If the Proceedings is known for its constructive criticism, it also has its stable of cerebral Molotov cocktail throwers. I have never skipped past Captain John Byron's submissions in the Comment and Discussion section. If he has embraced the concept of political correctness, he kept it fairly neatly to himself. In the February 1979 Proceedings , for example, in a lengthy response to an article on a woman's right to serve on warships, he opened: "The assignment of women to the crews of Navy ships is a very bad idea."
The Proceedings' tracking of new classes of ships and their contributions to the Navy has been constant and invaluable. I think about the 1980s-1990s debate over the Oliver Hazard Perry -Class (FFG-7) frigates and Commander Bruce R. Linder's strong endorsement of the class in his "Nobody's Square Peg," in the January 1992 issue.
In the October 1979 Proceedings , after I had completed an 18-month tour as a Lieutenant (junior grade) aboard the USS Hewitt (DD-966), the fourth Spruance, I published my professional observations on "Handling a Spruance -Class Destroyer." This would lead to a whole series on ship-handling and to many better articles over the decades on how best to drive the various classes of ships.
If the ships are what the Navy is all about, the training we give our officers and men to drive them and fight them is both important and open to constructive criticism. In his article "A Rude Awakening" in the January 2009 Proceedings, Lieutenant Mitch McGuffie wrote of his shock after he reported for an exchange tour aboard Royal Navy frigate HMS Cornwall at the much higher standard he was being held to by his British counterparts. In the best Proceedings tradition, he offered a series of recommendations for improved U.S. surface warfare training.
Good research and authoritative writing are other Proceedings signatures, and few if any meet this test better than Norman Polmar. In his article "In the Wake of a Sunken Soviet Submarine," published in December 2010, he told the fascinating story of the Unites States' secret operation with the Hughes Glomar Explorer raising part of the Soviet K-129 Golf-Class submarine from the depths of the Pacific in the mid-1970s.
Captain George Galdorisi is another of my 'frequent-pen' favorites. His Proceedings works down through the years have just been terrific, most recently, "Leading the Way in Ballistic Missile Defense" on Aegis as the go-to BMD system, written with Scott Truver, and published in December 2013.
Looking to the future Fleet, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jonathan W. Greenert in his article "Payloads over Platforms: Charting a New Course" in the July 2012 issue wrote that we need to move from ships that are 'luxury-car' platforms, with their built-in capabilities toward ships that are dependable 'trucks' – ships that can handle a changing payload selection.
We, the Naval Institute Members, each have our views on the best, the most important histories and strategic, tactical, and operational writings. That is what membership in this splendid organization is all about. With Proceedings now digitized, you will have better access still to this incredible repository of works. Hopefully you will take full advantage and bring your reading, thinking, and writing to our pages in order to advance the professional, literary, and scientific understanding of sea power and other issues critical to national defense.

A couple months ago, SLAM! Wrestling reported that Topps and WWE had signed a new trading card agreement. Now, we're able to tell you about the first product to hit store shelves -- WWE Heritage.
The new set debuted in late 2005 to an audience of collectors and wrestling fans who were intrigued as to what Topps had in store for a community abandoned during Fleer's disappearance from the industry. While Topps didn't quite earn the World Title with their first outing, they certainly did get a good pop coming out of the dressing room.
For those not familiar with the brand, Heritage has been a strong name for the sports and entertainment company for the past few years. Capitalizing on the retro trend, Heritage combines the appeal of yesteryear designs and stock with modern photography and collectible elements. Oh yeah, and there's also a piece of bubble gum in every pack.
This product borrows design elements from a couple different products Topps offered in the '50s and '60s. However, they are elements from baseball and football, rather than the ring wars. Hopefully, the ever popular 80s WWF sets will become part of future Heritage sets.
While the designs may not be authentic to wrestling, they are definitely eye-catching. WWE Superstar and WWE Legends cards use two photos, generally a combination of studio shots and action pics, while the Divas cards are from the wide variety of shoots the femme fatales have done over the last couple years. In all cases, the quality has to be applauded.
The backs of the cards are a bit closer to the '80s style of wrestling cards. Each wrestler has a strong biography, which, given the lack of history referenced on WWE TV today, is incredibly detailed. For example, Christian's card notes that he won the WWE Light Heavyweight Title in his first match in 1998, while Godfather's piece states that he's a former Intercontinental Champion.
While this element of the set is strong, the wrestler selection is somewhat weak. While there are a variety of wrestlers who certainly deserve to be in the set, you could probably count the number of people looking for Orlando Jordan's card without taking off your boots. Of course, WWE only has so many wrestlers to work with, but 10 profile cards could have easily been replaced with "action" cards that were a signature of Topps, again, back in the '80s. Working with a 90-card set, there certainly is room for creativity.
Along with the base set, Topps has included three inserts for collectors to hunt down. First off is the 10-piece sticker set. These cards, which generally come 10 in a box, have a good retro appeal and make for a very easy set to put together. The head-and-shoulder format is also a fun throwback to the magazine cut-outs one would put on lockers as a school-bound youth.
Another insert is the Ringside Relics set. These cards include a swatch of either event-worn shirts (hobby) or event-used wrestling mat (retail). While the mat cards are a good chase, the shirt cards really leave something to be desired. In the sports world, this would be the equivalent of a practice jersey in hockey or a warm-up suit in basketball, and neither piece has ever been popular. There's no reason why WWE couldn't have given a pair of trunks from Shawn Michaels or John Cena's jeans for Topps to use. Heck, why not a piece of table from ECW One Night Stand?
While the memorabilia cards have their faults, there's absolutely nothing bad to say about the autograph collection. Topps has done a spectacular job with the television elements of these cards, long considered to be among the best designs Topps has ever done in the hobby. The autographs, primarily of past grapplers, are well done and in some cases extremely hard to find. While you will get one autograph in every two boxes (on average), you'll have to bust quite a few boxes to get the rarest autograph, that of 2004 Diva Search Winner Christy Hemme, whose signature is only in one of every 1,574 packs.
Overall, Topps has put together a fun set for its first effort. While the next series has yet to be announced, there will likely be a variety of new sets in 2006.

Hi Sandy
Can you pls tell us what is the time that you see in OS and what is the time that you see when you select date from oracle db.
Pls confirm the TZ your OS is showing the time in. Also pls confirm whether you are using sqlplus user/pass@ORACLE_SID.
Why I am asking all these questions is that is that your query will return different values depending on the TZ setup if you are accessing thru lsnr.
By default the value in /etc/TIMEZONE is taken. But Otherwise if you set TZ value explicitly when startingup the lsnr, then it will respond with that particular value.

Homework Assignment: Go Talk To Your Representative Or Senator About SOPA/PIPA
from the do-it! dept
One way to do this is to go see your Senators and your Congressional Reps over the next few weeks. With Congress out of session, it's pretty typical for elected officials to hold "town hall meetings," and it's important for people to attend these sessions and speak up. I know that many people feel apathetic towards elected officials, and don't believe anything said to them will make a difference -- but that's not true. If they're at least hearing about the controversy and concerns enough, at least some will recognize that this bill is not something they want their names associated with and will back off. Unfortunately, these meetings are often scheduled with very little notice, and the standards/requirements to get in vary drastically. Thankfully, folks have been putting together some great resources to help you figure out when these are being held and how to take part.
- The good folks at Reddit are helping to crowdsource info about meetings.
- There's a Meetup.com page listing out known townhall sessions. Again, these often appear with very little notice, so check back often.
- Even without townhall sessions, you can and should reach out to your elected officials about meeting with them to express your concerns. Even if they don't actually take the meeting, hearing from enough people will alert them that there's widespread concern. Internet Freedom has set up a neat forum system, organized by state, that will both highlight when there are townhalls and, more importantly, provide details on how to request a meeting with your Senators. On top of that, it will allow coordination for those who do get meetings to go with a group of similarly concerned residents.
- EFF has a page about in district meetings, why they're important and how to set them up. It also has a one-pager with some basic facts that sums up the problems (pdf).
- Public Knowledge has also put together a quick two-page citizen packet (pdf) that highlights problems with the bills, and includes some "sample questions" that people might want to ask if possible.

Worcester, MA --- Junior Torre Swanson (Redding, CA) tossed a complete-game five-hitter with seven strikeouts as he helped lead MIT to a 2-1 triumph over Worcester State in non-conference baseball action at Tivnan field this afternoon.
With the win and the loss both teams now sport identical 22-12 records on the season. The Engineers, who lost to Wheaton in yesterday's NEWMAC Tournament Championship game, had been ranked eighth in the first NCAA Division III Baseball New England Regional rankings.
Swanson (3-3) dominated after allowing a run in the bottom of the third inning. Swanson also issued three free passes in his 10th appearance and fifth start of the 2011 campaign.
Lancer sophomore Nick Bonofiglio (Worcester, MA/Holy Name) drew a lead-off walk to start things for the hosts. Bonofiglio then moved to second on a single by junior Jack Rafferty (Thompson, CT) and third on a sacrifice bunt. Junior Joe Eramo (Shirley, MA) followed with a squeeze play to plate Bonofiglio for the 1-0 advantage.
Swanson would settle down and retire 15 out of the next 18 batters that he would see – including runners who reached third base in the fourth and sixth innings. The effort would give the visitors a chance for a late uprising.
Junior Cruz Rosado (Clinton, MA/Worcester Tech) threw the ball well for six solid innings as he scattered four hits and did not allow a runner to get past second base until he ran into trouble in the top of the seventh.
Third-year Dan Hyatt (Wallingford, CT) began the seventh frame with a single to right and then classmate AJ Hansborough (Deltona, FL) reached on a sacrifice bunt-single that could not be fielded by the pitcher. With men on first and second, sophomore Grant Iwamoto (Aiea, HI) hit a run-producing single to drive in Hyatt to knot the score 1-1.
Rosado would remain on the mound into the top of the ninth. After he would plunk Iwamoto and then issue a walk to freshman Patrick Dayton (Archer City, TX), he was lifted to bring on sophomore closer Shaun Slattery (Gardner, MA), but Slattery gave up the go-ahead single to senior Ryne Barry (Phoenix, AZ) for the go-ahead run.
The Lancers would threaten in the bottom of the ninth with sophomore Nick Gezotis (Westfield, MA) and junior pinch-hitter Tyler McElman (Marlboro, MA) on the corners, but Swanton fanned the final batter to end the contest.
Rosado (4-2) struck out two and walked two in his eight 2/3 innings of work.
Iwamoto, Barry and sophomore James McKinney (Wakefield, RI) all paced the nine-hit attack for MIT as Worcester State had no multi-hitters.
The Lancers will look ahead to this week's MASCAC Baseball Tournament to decide who will represent the conference in the NCAA's. The four-team competition will start on Thursday as the Lancers are guaranteed a home-game in the opening round.
The Engineers, who are still hopeful for an NCAA at-large berth, will continue their season with a road-game at RIC at 4 PM on Wednesday.

When the chapel for Sacred Heart University in Connecticut was dedicated in 2009, much of the public attention was focused on the massive mosaic newly installed behind the main altar, which depicts Jesus Christ at the center of salvation history. Anthony Cernera, then president of the university, had retained the services of Marko Rupnik, S.J., an artist whose distinctive craftsmanship appears in the Vatican's papal apartments and in the main basilica in Lourdes.
Overlooked at the time, however, was another, equally precious jewel: the Blessed Sacrament chapel. This intimate space, with just a few wooden benches, is now used for daily Masses and private meditation. What makes the space so astonishing is that its walls are covered from floor to ceiling with brilliantly colored mosaics of scenes from the Nativity story. It gives one the impression of having stepped into an icon. On these pages are reproductions of some of the mosaics with three brief meditations.
The Nativity
The mosaic of the Nativity of Our Lord, above, dominates the small chapel. Mary is robed in a deep red, a color that Eastern iconographers traditionally reserve for royalty. Here, at the beginning of her life with Jesus, she points viewers to her son, as she would do at the wedding feast of Cana, when she utters her last words quoted in the Gospels: "Do whatever he tells you." Mary looks uncomfortable as she lies on the cold, hard stones. In places, the chunky tesserae that Rupnik used to fashion the scene are as large as an adult hand; they could be actual stones. But Mary's ungainly posture presages her life, which, while filled with joy, would be painful at times. Joseph looks on pensively, as if exhausted from the journey to Bethlehem, and holds a flowering staff, the symbol of his chastity. The two seem to know that this respite is temporary. Their lives with Jesus, filled with joys and hopes, griefs and anxieties, have now begun.
The Wise Men
The Gospel of Matthew tells us that the "wise men" came from "the East" to worship the Messiah. Or as Christmas carolers sometimes sing, they came from "afar." In Rupnik's portrayal, though, the richly attired kings, sporting golden crowns to match their haloes, step on stones that are rather near. The artist incorporated into the mosaic pieces of a local Connecticut stone: shale. In the chapel, then, the connection between the exotic journey of the wise men and our own is made clear: our path to worship the Lord and to bring him our own good gifts can begin wherever we find ourselves.
Saints Joachim and Anne
This is perhaps the most unexpected part of the Blessed Sacrament chapel: a touching depiction of Joachim and Anne, the traditional names of Mary's parents. (The names appear in the apocryphal Gospel of James.) It is one of the tenderest portraits of a married couple I have ever seen.
How rare it is in a Christian setting to see a couple portrayed in such a clear demonstration of physical affection. Even when Mary and Joseph are depicted as a couple, they are seldom shown touching each other, lest the art challenge the viewer's image of the couple's chastity.
But Joachim and Anne led a full, married life and had at least one child, Mary. In Rupnik's mosaic, they rejoice in the birth of their new grandchild and embrace, their faces pressed together in utter joy.
When I saw this mosaic, I thought of the verse often used at weddings, something their grandson would later say, as recorded in the Gospel of Mark: "The two shall become one flesh." Perhaps Jesus knew his grandparents well and reflected on their love.
Joachim and Anne are one in love and devotion.

With the panel space of today's GA aircraft at a premium, Mid-Continent Instruments is launching its new Mini Gyro — a 4200 series electric attitude indicator — featuring a 2-inch attitude gyro small enough to be placed just about anywhere in your instrument panel.
The 2-inch Mini Gyro is comparable in many ways to the company's Lifesaver gyro, an emergency attitude reference gyro with a built-in backup battery. The Mini Gyro offers the same pedigree without the battery option. Both can be used as a primary or standby artificial horizon in fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, but the 2-inch attitude gyro's size and average lifespan of 2,500 hours make it an ideal backup unit, say Mid-Continent officials.
The Mini-Gyro will be available in late 2005.

MACON, Ga. – Four Lipscomb Lady Bison track and field athletes and five members of the men's team were named to the Atlantic Sun's Outdoor Track and Field All-Academic team the conference office announced, Friday.
Seniors Ashley Lehman and Brittany Duerk and sophomores Tessa Hoefle and Katie Bunker were among the 18 female student-athletes to earn the honor for the 2012 outdoor campaign. Senior Austin Ray, juniors Isaiah Greer, Geoff Musick, and Ben Wright and sophomore Tucker Peabody were among 13 men's honorees.
"Obviously I am so proud of our continued pursuit of excellence in the classroom," said Lipscomb head coach Bill Taylor. "As we continually raise the bar athletically, it is a testament to the type of student-athlete we attract, that our academic achievements are as high or higher than they have ever been, in a program that has always been known as one of the top NCAA Division I academic programs in the nation. I am looking forward to even more academic, social, spiritual and of course athletic growth in the years to come."
Lehman was one of only two unanimous choices for the team. She graduated on Saturday with a degree in elementary education after achieving a 3.97 GPA in the program while at Lipscomb. She was the silver medalist at the A-Sun Outdoor Championships in the 10,000m run with a school-record 36:09.71s run.
Hoefle, who was fifth in the 10K at the A-Sun Championships, earned her third All-Academic honor this year. The 4.0-carrying English major was named Academic All-Conference for indoor track and was Scholar Athlete of the Year in cross country.
Bunker was the other Lady Bison holdover from the Indoor Academic All-Conference team. She has a 3.77 in chemistry and was A-Sun Female Runner of the Week for April 14.
The dual-sport star who joined the team mid-season after the conclusion of her senior basketball season, Duerk graduated with a 3.85 in biochemistry. She just missed medaling at the A-Sun Championships with a 36.14m javelin throw.
Greer (3.55 GPA) and Musick (3.86) were unanimous selections and have both been named Academic All-Conference for cross country and indoor and outdoor track and field.
Peabody earned two gold medals and two bronzes at the A-Sun Outdoor Championships; he was also an Indoor Academic All-Conference honoree.
Ray, whose brother Logan was an indoor honoree, finishes his career with a 3.47 GPA in molecular biology. He finished sixth in the javelin at the A-Sun Outdoor Championships.
Wright, who finished fifth in the 3000m steeplechase at the A-Sun Championships, carries a 3.81 GPA in sustainability management.
USC Upstate's Gilbert Kemboi and Kennesaw State's Christie Leverette were named men's and women's Scholar Athlete of the Year.

The title of this film -- taken from graffiti on a wall near director Krzysztof Zanussi's home -- provides ironic commentary on its subject, which revolves around a doctor's questioning of his beliefs when he is confronted with terminal illness.
Tomasz (Zbigniew Zapasiewicz) is first seen working as the doctor on the set of a French movie production about the life of Saint Bernard. After his work is finished, he returns to Warsaw, where he makes the unpleasant discovery that he has cancer.
Tomasz' only hope is an expensive operation in Paris, and he is forced to ask his ex-wife Anna (Krystyna Janda) -- now remarried to a self-important yuppie -- for money. Anna writes him a check, but when he goes to Paris for the operation, Tomasz is informed that his condition has become inoperable.
Facing imminent death, he begins to question the beliefs he has held all his life and, with a sense of fatalistic liberation, starts to experiment with both his own life and those of others. A great success in Poland, Zycie Jako Smiertelna Choroba Przenoszona Droga Plciowa won the Best Picture award at the 2000 Moscow Film Festival.

Thanks, that's really helpful. You clearly know your stuff! You mention it has the wrong steering wheel and gearknob. Could you possibly inform me which would be the correct ones to have? Is it just a matter of colour (red stitching) as if so I don't think they would match the seats which don't have the red stitching. The gearkknob I could fit myself, but I'm not sure I would be competent enough to do the steering wheel. I have already changed the pedals for proper Ford drilled ones. Nick
Thanks for the info re the models, I went back to the ebay ad which I bought the car from, out of interest. It looks to be a Titanium with Sports pack 2. Have decided to boycott the radio and play CDs :-) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271159066697?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Thanks everyone, for your help so far. 137699 - in that case I have no idea what model I've got! Previous owner obviously added the `ST' badges. It just says `Titanium' on the back, `2.5T' on the side. It has half leather seats, looks to be a little lower than the standard S Max and has air intake grilll thingees above the front wheels. In terms of the stereo, thanks for the advice I'll look out for one of those on ebay. Stoney 871, thanks for the knowledge re the blue wire. That would make sense. BTMaldon, thanks for confirming the reception on the Chinese units is rubbish. Yeah, the blue wire is disconnected, we didn't do anything with it. I think the S Max FM aerial on the quarterlight window is fitted with a booster as standard (I may be wrong) and was just wondering, given the `crapness' of the Chinese unit, whether it was even built to send the power up the aerial cable.

Stereo Dilemma.
NickST posted a topic in Ford S-Max ClubHi folks. We recently bought a second hand S Max ST which we're really pleased with, except with the stereo. It is an after market Chinese unit which does everything (including digital TV) but all we really want to do is listen to the radio and play CDs. The FM reception is lousy - unlistenable even on the station transmitted from about three fields away (Heart Essex). A local guy came out yesterday, pulled it out and took a look but couldn't help matters, and removed £55 from my wallet for his time (fair enough, but from my perspective I don't want to waste any more money on it). With the head unit removed, the wiring all looks fine and the aerial is connected. The only ray of hope I had was a blue wire which said `12v' and wasn't connected to anything. I was sure (wishful thinking) this was going to be the supply to the aerial booster, and simply connecting this to the aerial cable would send 12 v back up to the booster and fix the problem. The professional who came out told me that this was not the case, and that the 12v was sent up straight from the head unit through the centre core of the aerial. I am now wondering if the head unit is actually sending this 12v up the aerial if it is an aftermarket one? If it's not then obviously an unpowered aerial booster will block most of the signal from the aerial and cause the dreadful reception. Perhaps I should just disconnect the booster which I believe is located in the void above the quarterlight window, which is where the aerial is. I took a look but wimped out as it looked quite close to an air bag mechanism and I could just see me creating another problem!! I know the head unit is not good quality. My guy has told me the unit is at fault, and quoted many dollars to replace it with a more basic but higher quality item. It might be that someone on here has been in this situation and can offer some advice? Thanks in advance for any help Nick

NickST posted a topic in New Member IntroductionsHi everyone, I'm Nick. I'm based in Chelmsford, Essex. We have just bought a second hand (57) S Max 2.5 ST which we're really pleased with. It is a bit better than our previous vehicle - a Citroen Xsara Picasso! Have just one issue with it, I'll try to find an appropriate part of the site and start a thread about it. Regards Nick

Kino: Kinetic, "living" jewelry for dynamic fashion
July 8, 2017
This work explores a dynamic future where the accessories we wear are no longer static, but are instead mobile, living objects on the body. Engineered with the functionality of miniaturized robotics, this "living" jewelry roams on unmodified clothing, changing location and reconfiguring appearance according to social context and enabling multitude presentations of self. With the addition of sensor devices, they transition into active devices which can react to environmental conditions. They can also be paired with existing mobile devices to become personalized on-body assistants to help complete tasks. Attached to garments, they generate shape-changing clothing and kinetic pattern designs–creating a new, dynamic fashion.
It is our vision that in the future, these robots will be miniaturized to the extent that they can be seamlessly integrated into existing practices of body ornamentation. With the addition of kinetic capabilities, traditionally static jewelry and accessories will start displaying life-like qualities, learning, shifting, and reconfiguring to the needs and preferences of the wearer, also assisting in fluid presentation of self. We envision a new class of future wearables that possess hybrid qualities of the living and the crafted, creating a new on-body ecology for human-wearable symbiosis.

MIT's 'living jewlery'
Published on Aug 1, 2017
"MIT's 'living jewelry' is made up of small robot assistants"MIT's 'living jewelry' is made up of small robot assistants. For now, most of the robots' tasks are decorative. The lab is also exploring some interesting non-design functions. On a raincoat, for example, temperature sensors could trigger the robots to pull the hood's strings down. "We're thinking of wearables as a personal assistant," team member Cindy Hsin-Liu Kao told TechCrunch. "We think in the future, when they can have a brain of their own, they can learn your habits, learn your professional style, and when they get smaller, they can blend into the things you wear." The team first published a paper detailing early versions of the robots last year. According to Hsin-Liu Kao, "a lot of people saw them as really creepy."

The 1st set of photos for my makeup portfolio are finally out!!!
I am so excited to share o(^____^)o
On the day of portfolio making with the makeup school, we had time to create 4 different looks. This is the last look I created for the day: Garden Tea Party Look.
This is an Anna Sui inspired look. I didn't really want to spend on accessories, so I made do with what I already had at home.
For the eye makeup, I opted for strong contrasting colors: blue, purple, yellow and white for the eyelids, pink and green for lower lash line.
As the eye makeup is the focal point of this look, I used natural blush and a soft shade for the lips.
For my model's hair, I wanted to create a soft, romantic look. I curled her hair, pinned them up by sections and left a few strands of curls at the side to frame her face.
This is one of my favourite looks of that day!

Scripture: 2Corinthians 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
Observation: God is known as the "Father of compassion" and the "God of all comfort." He has these titles because compassion and comfort are priorities to Him.
Application: Two applications I see: First, when I need comfort, I know where to go! My Heavenly Father is the expert on comfort! He invented it! He created me and knows how to comfort me. Second, when I see someone needing comfort I have the opportunity to pass along what God has given me! Comforting others is being a part of God's ministry to those He loves.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for the comfort you have given me; now use me to comfort others. Amen

Duluth man dies in ND hydraulic fracturing accident
WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) -- Authorities say a 49-year-old Duluth, Minn., man has been killed in a hydraulic fracturing accident in North Dakota.
The McKenzie County Sheriff's Office says Mike Krajewski died about 3:30 p.m. Saturday at a Halliburton location about 24 miles north of Watford City.
Sgt. Matt Johansen tells The Forum that the Occupational Health and Safety Administration is investigating. He says preliminary information indicates a valve was turned wrong and a pipe came disconnected and hit him in the head.
A Halliburton spokeswoman says the company will continue to work with local authorities as they investigate the incident.
Another worker was hospitalized for injuries believed to be minor.
Relatives say Krajewski was a family man and Air Force veteran who was proud of the work he was doing.

Bobcats build good will with
San Marcos residents
By Audrey Webb
Every guest knows it's common courtesy to say thank you to your host. That's the basic premise behind Bobcat Build, an annual volunteer event that salutes the citizens of San Marcos for hosting the Bobcat family in their hometown.
Bobcat Build volunteers perform a variety of tasks based on requests made by San Marcos citizens. In last year's event, approximately 3,400 students, staff and faculty members participated in 168 various community-building activities, such as weeding a community garden to washing windows to painting a house to removing debris from a vacant lot.

In fact, the sheer nausea of having to deal with 12 players is the main reason I keep putting off my microspace battle.
If you stick to a short limit (Brikspace's limit was 48 hours) and show that you ARE going to enforce it, then you won't have many problems. Since your battle will probably have multiple players cooperating, it's easy to find seconds -- if one squadron commander doesn't give orders, someone else on his team will be able to do it for him.
Even with 13 players besides myself, it's still not that bad to take their orders in ToOC, due to the above mentioned strict timing and a healthy supply of back-ups. Just make sure that you get back-ups. Even 16 could be doable, but I'm not even sure we have enough regular Forum Battlers for that.

Man wanted after assault of former 'Amish Mafia' cast member
LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. —
Police in Pennsylvania are searching for a man they say severely beat a woman.
Manheim Borough police say 28-year-old Imir Williams assaulted the woman on Sunday in their home on the 100 block of Charlotte Street and also put two young children in danger.
"There was a choking incident, a slamming into a door and punching and kicking," DA spokesperson Brett Hambright said. "Two children were being held or close to the female victim. They were in some risk of harm as well."
Williams was previously charged with assaulting the woman in 2013 while she was part of the reality show "Amish Mafia."

Writer: Darrell J. Pehr, 575-646-3223, email@example.com
The dairy industry plays a big role in the economy of New Mexico, and the process of safely and productively raising and caring for dairy cows is a necessary piece of the puzzle for the state's dairy workforce.
Especially for a worker who is new to the world of dairy farming, the prospects of successfully working with large animals, specialized equipment and outdoor weather conditions is highly dependent on proper and effective training and guidance.
To help ensure dairy farm workers and dairy managers have the most accurate and up-to-date information available on the basic principles for health and safety, New Mexico State University's Extension dairy program is helping to produce training videos that outline best practices when on the dairy. Now, these videos are easily accessible on a newly established YouTube Channel for the U.S. Agricultural Safety and Health Centers: www.youtube.com/USagCenters.
"The new YouTube channel is a way to reach millions of people with safety and health information," said project administrator Allison DeVries, of the High Plains Intermountain Center for Agricultural Health and Safety.
One 17-minute video, titled "General & Outside Worker Training," covers a wide range of topics, from cleanliness, protective equipment and fire danger to ladder safety, livestock handling and how to work outdoors safely. It includes guidance on how to use the herding instinct to coax dairy cattle into a trailer, proper lifting techniques and safety around bulls.
The video is one of a series of dairy safety training videos titled "Considering Human and Animal Safety," produced under the direction of Robert Hagevoort, dairy specialist for NMSU's Cooperative Extension Service.
"We want to be able to provide the tools to producers to enable employees to perform job functions properly and safely," Hagevoort said. "It is important to provide some structure to this whole process."
These educational videos were produced by the Southern Great Plains Dairy Consortium in partnership with NMSU Cooperative Extension, NMSU Dairy Extension, the Southwest Center for Agricultural Health, Injury Prevention, and Education (Southwest Center), USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, and the High Plains Intermountain Center for Agricultural Health and Safety (HICAHS).
Hagevoort said providing guidance with a video can be far more effective than offering training with written materials because most adults are visual learners. Dairy employees also may have limited English communication skills, and so a video can do a better job of demonstrating a safe practice or technique.
The next step in the process will be the development of online, interactive training software that producers can use to ensure employees view the videos and successfully demonstrate their knowledge of the new material through online test-taking. The dairy producer would be able to develop a suite of online training activities that would give a comprehensive database of all employees' progress in the training process.
"This is taking human resources management on dairies to the next level," Hagevoort said.
The YouTube Channel is a joint effort of all 10 Agricultural Centers funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The Southwest Center and HICAHS represent two of these 10 centers. The Ag Centers have created more than 50 videos pertaining to working safely in agriculture, forestry and fishing. The channel was launched Nov. 1 with about a dozen videos. More videos will be released over the next several months.

I have been told that my non-traditional family setup is the "new normal." However, as I look around, I still see significant differences between my family situation and that of the vast majority of my friends and colleagues. Since the first of our two children was born 11 years ago, my husband has been the primary caregiver. While we both assumed our roles with relative ease and comfort, surprisingly, our home arrangements are still unusual, and we are often the recipients of unconscious bias.
The decision for my husband to stay at home was an easy one. I loved my job; he didn't love his. I earned more than he did; and I was excited to go back to work (part-time to start with), and he was excited at the prospect of staying home with our daughter.
One of the many benefits of our family arrangement is that work is more straightforward for me compared with working mums who also take on the primary caregiver role. Travel and weird working hours are not an issue for me, nor are school holidays and sick children. I am also extremely lucky to have a great deal of flexibility in my job to work from home reasonably frequently, so even though I'm working, I'm still around home a lot of the time.
But as with all things out of the norm, there are a range of different attitudes and judgements from others on our family situation. My husband and I have both experienced unconscious bias in different forms. Typically, it is not unkind or judgmental, it merely hangs off the traditions of a "normal" family makeup of mum being the primary caregiver. The text messages to me instead of hubby asking for play-dates when it's known I'm working out of town. The term "Mr. Mum," like being "Dad" isn't quite enough. The raised eyebrow when the response to "What does your husband do?" isn't what is expected.

text: How is it possible that a car weighing just over 2,200 pounds and equipped with a 2-liter engine can drive from Phoenix to Los Angeles at the maddeningly geriatric speed of 50 miles per hour and manage only a pathetic 32.4 miles per gallon? Yes, that's the best the '74 Capri could do! We're thinking it was the weight of several tons of Malaise pushing down hard on the car during the trip (not to mention the restrictive first-gen catalytic converters and miserable engine compression ratios of the era). The six-cylinder Comet made the same trip and grunted out an Saudi-oil-baron-pleasing 26.6 MPG, so we shudder to imagine the sort of single-digit mileage a 460-equipped Country Squire would have achieved.
