Oliver White notched his second goal of the season against Cornell Saturday (Gil Talbot).
Oliver White's Goal against Cornell
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Facing its third ranked opponent of the season, the Harvard men's soccer team relinquished two second-half goals to No. 18 Cornell as the Crimson dropped a 3-1 final to the Big Red Saturday at Soldiers Field Soccer Stadium. The Crimson falls to 1-6-3 on the year and 0-1-1 in Ivy play, while Cornell remains unbeaten at 10-0-0 and 2-0-0 in league play.
The undefeated Big Red lost the offensive pressure and possession battles in the first half, but were able to capitalize on stealthy counter-attacks and grab a one goal lead before the 10 minute mark. Nine and half minutes into the contest, Nico Nissl threaded a ball in between the Harvard defense and Stephen Reisert deposited his first goal of the season to give the guests a one goal edge.
Harvard continued the pressure and fired eight shots to Cornell's two through the first half of action. The Crimson finally broke through with its first Ivy goal of the season just before halftime to knot the score at 1-1 at the break. Ross Friedman lofted a ball from his own end into the Cornell box and Jake Freeman wrestled it away from a pair of defenders and unleashed put a ball towards the Big Red net. Cornell keeper Rick Pflasterer dove to his left to collect the ball, but was unable to corral it, and Oliver White came up and pounded home the loose ball for his second tally of the season. Harvard also ended the half up 4-0 in corner kicks.
While Harvard continued to possess in the second half, Cornell saw more opportunities come its way on the counter attack. In the 63rd minute, the guests retook the lead when Conor Goepel lofted a cross over the head of Harvard goalie Joe Festa and Patrick Slogic was there to head the ball into the back of the net to give Cornell a 2-1 edge. With the wind at its back, the Big Red padded its lead 12 minutes later when Goepel got a goal of his own, one-touching a ball from Tyler Regan past Festa to secure the 3-1 final. Harvard ended with a slight 13-11 edge in shots and held the Big Red to just one corner kick on the day.
The tough tests continue for the Crimson as it travels to No. 19 Brown Saturday for its next contest. Game time is slated for 7 p.m.

FORT HOOD, Texas -- The season 16 finale of the "The Ultimate Fighter" Dec. 15 featured a Canadian squaring off against a U.S. Army Soldier stationed at Fort Hood.
After 15 grinding minutes over three rounds, III Corps' Staff Sgt. Colton Smith had his hand raised on the Las Vegas stage in front of a live TV audience, winning by unanimous decision over Mike Ricci in the welterweight bout.
Smith described the celebratory moment inside the Octagon as a culmination of all the hard work and dedication of not only himself but also his coaches and his Family.
"It's an amazing feeling of accomplishment," Smith said.
The Soldier controlled all three rounds, executing his game plan to a tee.
"The training partners that I have here at the combatives training facility, the Army guys, Tim Kennedy, Kris Perkins, Jarrod Clontz, guys like that pushing me," Smith said, "I knew it wasn't far-fetched that I'd be able to implement my game plan effectively. I knew there was a chance that his striking would give me some fits, but for the most part, the past eight weeks, I've had a game plan, and I drilled it, drilled it, drilled it.
"That's what happens when hard work, perseverance and repetition pays off," he added.
Clontz, a Fort Hood combatives instructor and the coach of the III Corps Combatives Team, coached ringside Saturday night, and he described Smith as being calm, cool and collected throughout the fight.
"We were in his corner, telling him to breathe," Clontz said. "We basically didn't have to say much (in between rounds); just reiterate what he was already doing right."
After being the aggressor for minute after minute, Smith's stamina became clear as his opponent's waned.
"I saw him fading, so I thought I'd be able to finish him in the later rounds," Smith said. "I just couldn't get the choke in.
"It seemed like he was fighting at that point more not to lose as compared to fighting to win," he added. "There's a big difference. Guys that fight not to lose, you're going to lose, but you might not get submitted. Guys that fight to win, it leaves a lot more openings. He was being extremely defensive at that point, and just wasn't going to let me finish him. I think that was his goal at that point."
Even without being able to sink his chokehold, Smith, the experienced wrestler, used his technique to remain on top and continually grind on Ricci from a dominant position.
"I've always been a leg-rider when it comes to wrestling, but this was the first fight that I had the legs in that long and didn't finish actually," he said. "I've finished a lot of my amateur and early pro fights -- every time I get the hooks in, I usually get the choke."
Perkins, the director of Fort Hood's combatives program and one of Smith's coaches, said his fighter did exactly what he had to do to win.
"He did the fight plan. It's a victory," he said. "It might not be as exciting as what people want, but until their career's on the line, they can go see if they want to make it exciting.
"In the beginning, you have to win," Perkins added. "After you have some wins in there, then you can go for exciting."
Ricci's most aggressive attempt came in the fight's final 30 seconds as he reversed position on Smith, taking his back. The Canadian attempted a desperation arm-bar submission, but Smith said he was never nervous.
"We got into a little bit of a scramble at the end, and he took my back," Smith said, describing the match's ending moments. "I knew I was fine -- I've had Tim Kennedy taking my back. I was waiting for him to start punching so that I could explode up, but he didn't start punching and instead he jumped off the front for an arm bar.
"And there's no way -- I knew he wasn't going to arm-bar me," Smith added. "And to be completely honest, if he would have straightened the arm-bar out, I wouldn't have tapped. It was too close to the end. That's what was going through my mind."
With Smith's win, both Clontz and Perkins saw it as another form of validation for the Army's combatives program.
"It shows that the Army's formula works," Perkins said. "If you open up the Army's combatives manual, it tells you to close the gap with the clinch, get in the dominant position and then finish the fight."
"It made the Fort Hood combatives program look great; it made the Army combatives program look great," Clontz added. "It made us all look good through his hard work."
Smith said his win, which earned him a guaranteed six-figure contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, has begun to set in, but that he's already getting ready for what's next.
"I achieved this goal, and I'm ready for the next challenge," he said.
Not knowing what the UFC has in store for him, Smith said he's not sure who his future opponents could be or when the fight would take place.
The next task for the Soldier is the completion of the Noncommissioned Officer Education System, a 30-day course he'll start in January.
"I'll get that knocked out and then get back to training, and just get ready for the next fight and representing the United States Army and III Corps the best that I can," Smith said.
As Smith's life begins to change in the days, weeks and months after being named the Ultimate Fighter -- continuing on the path he said his Lord ordained for him -- he'll remain a III Corps Soldier.
"I'd love to do whatever I can to benefit the United States Army and be a part of the team," he said. "What I'd really love to do, honestly, is spread my story around and do what I can for the Army, in that sense, on a larger scale -- speaking to young Soldiers, speaking to ROTC cadets, speaking to whoever I can speak to, to help the Army commission and the best people into the Army -- not just numbers, but the best people."

2013 Green car of the year without Model S
2013 Green car of the year without Model S
Well as green as Model S might be it is FAR from affordable to most currently and at this point and cannot be considered a "mass market" or "main stream" automobile at present.
Based on their criteria I'd say at least for the near term they would have to have exluded it.
Or maybe Model S has graduated in a higher weight class: it's not a green car anymore, it's a real car !
They can keep those inept EV wannabes, we'll see who will turn the heads!!!
Ease up folks. Model S has received many deserved accolades, but being an affordable mass-market product is not one of them... and probably will never be.
They say the car must be
That's incorrect. That's just what they are, not what they must be (as evident from some of the previous selections).
Green Car Journal feels biased against Tesla. Their selections are completely irrational and based on reviewers feelings instead of actual data. I asked them once what are the criteria and they have nothing to do with the actual car, but with capabilities of the companies, especially the capability of producing huge number of cars using same platform (not the actual production, just the capability). This means that winner this year will be Ford (again).
Keep in mind, many technologies that started as luxuries attainable only by the wealthy are now commonplace. Television and cars (the old fashioned kind) are a couple obvious examples. Maybe the Model S specifically won't ever be a mass-consumer car, but it's progeny will certainly be.
Ease up guys. Remember that this is THE car of the year. Who cares if it isn't the green car of the year as named by a small publication (relative to motortrend). This car is the best car of the year which means it tops all cars, green and non-green. I'm sure Elon would have liked to have won this one too but given the choice, he probably would have much preferred the motortrend award.
Here's the original thread that raised this question:
As TikiMan pointed out then, this was also publicized as the "LA Auto Show's Green Car of the Year" award and Tesla Motors didn't exhibit at the LA Auto Show.
@TC - I think part of the issue is that anyone's allowed an opinion, but if you claim to represent an award winning magazine and leading web site, you should be publishing a magazine or updating a web site.
Green Car Journal used to be quarterly, but according to greencar.com, the current issue is last Winter's, and all the links to subscribe or purchase back issues are broken. The site hasn't had any new articles since February and the @GreenCarJournal Twitter feed hasn't had anything for over a year and a half now.
Ron Cogan still holds the trademark for "Green Car of the Year" so it's his to give, but using the name "Green Car Journal" without a magazine, web site or even Twitter feed behind it makes it seem less like a legitimate magazine award and more like his personal soapbox.
He does have a new site (Cars of Change) that has articles as recent as September, but any news about Tesla seems to flow around the site without touching it. A Google search of the site turns up two mentions of Tesla. One's for an article on the Coda that says Tesla missed its original delivery date for the Model S. The other's an article on the RAV4 EV that mentions Tesla in passing. There's no news article mentioning the Model X, first Model S deliveries, or Tesla's Supercharger network.
Thanks, Nick, I was wondering why their website sucks that much. Your explanation, well, explains quite a bit.
@Nick, lol I just didn't want to admit that I had never heard of them before
On the internet, no one knows you're a dog.
Except the bugs that track all the dog treat/toy sites you visit.
Several have said that Ford will win again. According to Wikipedia, Ford never has won Green Car of the Year. Mercury, a different brand with Ford Motor Co., did win with the Mariner Hybrid in 2006.
I have perused a number of issues of Green Car Journal over the past year +. They rarely to never mention Tesla. I suspect Ron Cogan, editor and publisher, has some negative feelings towards TM.
However, in fairness to Mr. Cogan if 'affordable' is a criterion for the award the $100K Performance Sig "S" probably wouldn't qualify. Perhaps a base model "S" at 50K would! By the way has anyone seen the Honda Civic Natural Gas on the street? I haven't and it is GCJ's 2012 Car of the Year!
Small potatoes, no real vision... Zzzzzzzzzzz..
@petero - if you had seen one, I can almost guarantee you wouldn't have recognized it as anything but a Civic.
I considered getting an NG powered Civic at one point, but at the time, the manufacturer of the 'charging station' had stopped producing it and Honda's own commitment to it seemed uncertain. Given that the only press I had read on it was concern over range anxiety (natural gas is common, but being able to plug in somewhere, not so much), I decided to wait. Reliability would probably have been good (NG engines run very clean), but resale potential would have been uncertain. The up-front cost was also a factor - several thousand more, without either significant saving in fuel and pollution over an already efficient Civic or being a remarkable car in its own right. Without falling in love with the car, I couldn't justify the investment to myself over the Honda I already owned.

Justin Bieber Reveals How He Picked The Hot Girl In 'Boyfriend'
Justin Bieber explains the process behind picking the gorgeous Selena Gomez lookalike who plays his love interest in 'Boyfriend.' Don't you think she did a great job?
Justin Bieber has quite the life. Not only does he have a fantastic real life girlfriend (Selena Gomez), he also gets to hand pick the girls who fawn all over him in his music videos, like in "Boyfriend."
During a live interview on MTV after the premiere of "Boyfriend," Justin revealed how he choose the girl who played his girlfriend.
"They had two girls based on the pictures and we picked the one who looked best on camera," the 18-year-old pop star said. "It was kind of a group thing. She was like, really beautiful, but on camera it gave this cool vibe. She looked like Pocahontas!"
What did you think of the actress in "Boyfriend?" We don't know how Selena was able to keep her cool — Justin had great chemistry with "Pocahontas"!
Here are some highlights from the rest of Justin's interview:
*What do you think of "Boyfriend"?
I'm happy. I mean, I kind of switched it up from all the teasers. I wanted to do something that was a little more mature. My fans are all growing with me. It was something more mature and that all my fans would like.
*How did you pick the girl in it?
They had two girls based on the pictures and we picked the one who looked best on camera. It was kind of a group thing. She was like really beautiful but on camera it gave this cool vibe. She looked like Pocahantas.
*What do you think of Justin Timberlake?
I haven't seen it. Definitely, he was young and he did it. He was really amazing and had amazing music. I can't say I would be upset if someone compared me to him, but I think my music is going in a completely different direction.
*Tell us about your elevator game.
In an elevator. Kenny and all us have this game where we just hit each other in the balls. It's just funny.
*About X Factor
I'm actually too busy because I'm going to be going on a world tour.
*What's 'Believe' about?
Different situations I've been in. That's what I wanted to touch on. The baby situation, which was totally not true, by the way — I wrote a song about that. It's on there. It's like my Billie Jean. At the end of the day I'm human. I go through all the problems you go through.
*What do you want people to know?
I want people to know that my music is something I take really seriously. It's not a joke. It's not just mainstream pop music. I've been doing music since I was really little and I just want to show the world that it's not a game.
*Why did you pick "Boyfriend" as your single?
I just thought it was like, out of all the songs I had at that time, it was the song that most represented me at the time. It was perfect first song to come out with. My single is better. And my next single is better. I think it's "As Long As You Love Me." It's like mid-tempo. I just think it's edgy. It's something I can hear on the radio. It's going to get stuck in people's heads.
*What other songs have your written?
I wrote a song for my mom. I think I'm going to put it out on Mother's Day. I don't know if it's going on the album.
*What do you want to improve on?
I'm trying to get better at dancing. I've been in the dance studio trying to clean up.
*What advice has Usher given you?
Always keep the people who were there in the beginning with you. They are the ones that really care.
*Tell us about Drake
It's crazy. We're both going on the same journey on the different sides of the world. It's so cool because we both get what each other are going through. He's able to give me different advice and I'm able to tell him how to treat the ladies…just kidding!
*What's your process in the studio like?
I'm always pretty like, if I'm in the studio there's no time to mess around. There's a beat and I write to that, or there's a guitar.
*What do you have next?
I'm going to be touring. I'm still working on this movie with Mark Wahlberg. I don't know what the deal is, but they are rewriting the script to make it fit better.
*Hows your bball game?
Right now, I haven't played basketball in awhile. I played in this charity game at Shaq's house. It wasn't too hard to beat them.
*What would you ask your 25-year-old self?
I would probably ask my 25-year-old self for facial hair. I'm not getting any facial hair anytime soon. I want to show I'm just in the streets workin. There are like a couple hairs. It's coming soon.
*Do you regret being famous?
No, I mean, I wouldn't be where I am now. I'm able to travel the world. I had never been on an airplane before all this. It's so hard being away from my family and friends, but when I think about it, it's all worth it.
*What was the last movie you watched?
Last movie I watched?
I don't remember. I think I watched on the plane Horrible Bosses.
*Do you ever watch TV?
I like the New Girl. Have you seen that show? It's such a good show.
*What animal would you be if you were an animal?
If I were an animal — no I wouldn't be a unicorn! I would be like a tiger or something. Or a lion. Something. That's a random question. I want to be on the top of the food chain.
*Favorite cereal
My favorite cereal is crunch berries or frosted miny wheats.
*Which girls do you want to work with?
I would collaborate with maybe like Rihanna or Beyonce.
*What's your favorite kind of soup?
I like broccoli cheddar soup.
*Do you miss your hair flip?
Do I miss the flip? Not really. That was in it's time. Maybe it'll come back. It was cool in the time. Now I'm just onto a new chapter.
The thing is I always put out random songs. Just different covers. When my voice was changing, I put out songs. The tone is deeper and sexier.
*Touring with the Wanted?
Maybe, I mean The Wanted came on tour in South America with me. I'm not sure if we're all going to tour, but I'm not opposed to it.
*Do you get nervous about not being relevant?
No. At the end of the day, I'm enjoying what is happening right now. My fans have been taking me on this crazy roller coaster ride. You know why I'm not nervous about falling off? Because it's all about the music. When the music is there, the talent is there, the hard work is there, I think it's only a matter of time — you just keep going up.

Is there a nice explicit description for the group $K^*/Nm_{L/K}(L^*)$ for a finite field extension $L/K$?
What if for example, $L$ is obtained from $K$ by ajoining an n-th root of some $\alpha \in K$ (and assuming that $K$ contains the n-th root of unity)? I don't see a nice answer even for the case $n=2$.
Thank you.
EDIT: Thanks for the answers! Is that correct that in the case of a cyclic extension this group is isomorphic to $Br(L/K)$, since both these groups are identified with $H^2(Gal(L/K), L^*)$?

Oct. 10 Mike Matheny postgame interview
Q. You have to be very impressed by Carpenter's performance today.
MIKE MATHENY: I mean, you just really look at what happened through the season and how many times we were talking about how close he was to coming back, and projecting and all through spring training, and the guy kept pushing trying to make something happen and just couldn't.
Then we get to the point where he undergoes a radical surgery, and it's hard to believe not too long ago that they took a rib from this guy, and as soon as they did, he was still talking about how he was going to help this club.
And it sounded good in theory, but it just didn't seem very realistic until he got on the mend, and I applaud our medical staff, but I applaud Chris Carpenter for what he's been able to do. And to go out and not just go out there, but to compete like Chris Carpenter always has, and then the stuff to go along with it. Just beyond words the amount of respect that everybody in that clubhouse has for him.
Q. Largest crowd ever in this stadium, and you sucked the life out of it real early. How surprised were you by that, and how important was that?
MIKE MATHENY: I thought it was a great atmosphere. That's part of the beauty of playing in the postseason. Explained to the young players, even when we show up in spring training, there's a buzz. There's a buzz all over this city. There's a buzz inside the stadium. We just go out and play our game and try not to let that get in the way, whether there's a lot of life or no life at all. The guys just have to put their head down and play their game.
Q. What have you seen from Descalso these last couple of games? It seems like he's barrelling up almost every ball he gets the bat on.
MIKE MATHENY: Danny is a better offensive player than what his 2012 stats tell. He's got a real good idea at the plate, and let alone, he's as solid a middle infielder as they come. He's just a good ballplayer in everything. He's getting into a nice rhythm right now, but he's worked really hard. And it's been frustrating at times for him through this season, but he's in a good spot now.
Q. How much has Pete Kozma's development over this last month and a half meant to you guys?
MIKE MATHENY: Pete Kozma has been huge. We had a huge void when we lost Rafael Furcal, and whenever you have somebody up the middle, especially somebody kind of quarterbacking the infield like Rafi did, we were stuck in a spot, and we didn't have that glaring replacement, that this is the guy we have to go with.
We put him in there, gave him the opportunity, and he absolutely ran away with it. Just catching the ball out there was something we were looking forward to him doing, let alone having big hits; and then on top of that, being able to supply some power and some run production.
But he's going about it the right way. I just want him to, just like we said, just keep going, nothing different. Just keep the same approach. There's going to be more distractions; the better he does, the more times he comes through like he has, it will continue to be an opportunity for him to show resolve and mental toughness to just go about his business the way he has been.
Q. This team has had so many losses that probably would have taken down other teams; Wainwright last year, Carpenter, and then Furcal later on in the season. Why do you think this team has been able to withstand those sorts of things?
MIKE MATHENY: And I think that's a great compliment to our guys, and I think that's a result of their character. I've said this before: You mix a team that has character and talent, it's a tough force to stop.
Character is developed through the adversity, and the adversity seemed to start off in spring training when we do lose a Carpenter, and then a Lance Berkman goes down, and all of the change that happened since the 2011 season. There were plenty of excuses for these guys to take. They have intentionally decided not to go the route of the excuse, just come out and play the game.
They have done a very good job of just staying very consistent, and that's a sign of good leadership inside of that clubhouse.

Sprint Nextel stole the CTIA show last year when it introduced the Samsung Instinct. There was a lot to like about the touch-screen phone, so we were hopeful that Samsung would build on its successes with subsequent models. To our initial delight, the Samsung Instinct S30 made the rounds at CTIA this year, but we quickly were disappointed that it offered only a slimmer design. Even worse, Samsung actually removed features found on the first model. Could it be that the S30 was all Sammy had to offer?
Luckily, the answer is no. As summer rolled into autumn, Sprint got a jump on the holiday season by unveiling the Instinct's long-awaited successor. The Instinct HD, aka the SPH-M850, is both an upgrade and an improvement. It offers a sleeker design, a brighter display, and more features. We're a bit ambivalent about the much-hyped "high-definition" support, but it remains a compelling multimedia phone that does a lot of things well. The price, however, is a tad galling: at $249 with a two-year Sprint Everything plan and a $100 mail-in rebate, the Instinct HD will cost you more than the HTC Hero, the excellent Google Android smartphone. Sure, the HD camera is nice, but we'd rather pay for real productivity than flashy multimedia.
The Instinct HD has a trim candy bar shape that's larger than both the original Instinct and the Instinct S30. The curves and smooth angles give it an appealing shape and we like the simple silver and black color scheme. What's more, we welcome the extra heft (4.63 inches by 2.29 inches by 0.5 inch; 4.01 ounces) as it gives the phone a solid and comfortable feel in the hand. The Instinct HD also travels well in a pocket or a bag.
The 3.2-inch display isn't any bigger than on the S30, but it supports more colors (16 million hues) and it has a richer resolution (480×320 pixels). You'll notice the upgrade immediately; the colors are bright and vibrant and graphics pop right off the screen. Though 3.2 inches is just on the cusp of what we consider the minimum size for a touch screen, the Instinct HD's display is very easy on the eyes. You can adjust the brightness and the backlight time, but the small text size can't be changed.
The touch interface was quick and responsive when selecting items. Scanning through long lists and using scroll bars was a tad sluggish, but nothing too bothersome. You can adjust the touch sensitivity and switch between a right- and a left-handed orientation. The vibrating feedback should be helpful for most users; you can change its intensity or deactivate it completely. The display also has a proximity sensor.
The menu interface is similar to the previous Instinct models. On the top level there are three menu pages ("Main," "Fun," and "My Stuff") where icons are arranged in a list or tile format according to their themes. The tile design is more visually appealing, but the list design offers more commands for each individual feature. For example, you can see thumbnails of your photos without opening the photo gallery. There's also a fourth page called "Faves" that you can populate with your chosen features. For more personalization you can delete menu choices and rearrange them
The "Web" menu offers choices for the browser, Microsoft Live Search, and various widgets (we'll list them in the Features section). Games, GPS, and customization options can be found in the "My Stuff" menu, multimedia and social media apps like Facebook and Twitter are in the "Fun" menu, and standard options like messaging and the organizer are in the "Main" menu page. It's an intuitive arrangement once you give it a go.
Just below the display are three touch controls: a Back key, a Home button, and a calling key. The Home button will take you back to the main screen and the calling key opens yet another menu with your phone book, your speed dial list, the recent calls menu, the visual voice mail feature, and the phone dialer. The latter features large alphanumeric touch controls and the ability to activate the speakerphone and access contacts right on the display.
The Instinct HD offers a full QWERTY keyboard with large buttons. The vertical keyboard is more spacious than you'd think, but we'd recommend against using it since the keys aren't arranged in the standard QWERTY format. You can switch between keyboards by tipping the phone (the Instinct HD has an accelerometer) or by pressing a touch control. You'll need to switch to a separate keyboard for symbols and numbers, but basic punctuation is surfaced with the alphabetic controls. You'll also find back and return touch controls and a giant space bar. If desired, you can hide the keyboard to show more of the writing area.
The power control rests on the top of the Instinct HD next to the 3.5mm headset jack (nice!). On the left spine you'll find the microSD port for the charger/USB cable, the TV out jack, and a camera shutter. The volume rocker and voice-dialing button are on the left spine. Though you can find the rocker when on a call, we'd prefer it to be just a bit larger. The single speaker sits on the rear of the handset below the camera lens, flash, and self-portrait mirror. Though most of the controls in a convenient place on the handset, the memory card slot is inconveniently located behind the battery cover.
The Instinct HD's 600-contact phone book is rather small, as far as touch-screen handsets go. Each name holds five phone number types, an e-mail address, an instant-message handle, a street address, a URL, and notes. You can organize callers into groups and pair them with a photo and one of 26 128-note polyphonic ringtones. Other essentials include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, a calendar, a calculator, an alarm clock, a timer, a stopwatch, a world clock, a full duplex speakerphone, and a notepad. Fortunately, the calendar and world clock are easier to use than on the Instinct.
The Instinct HD isn't a smartphone, but you'll find a fair number of features beyond the basics. The handset offers full Bluetooth with a stereo profile, Sprint Navigation with Microsoft Live Search, PC syncing, Sprint visual voice mail, USB mass storage, speaker-independent voice commands, and instant messaging. And like the Samsung Jet, it also includes "gesture controls": you can mute an incoming call and snooze the alarm clock by placing the phone face down. We were also glad to see that Samsung added Wi-Fi to the Instinct HD.
Like its predecessors, the Instinct HD offers plenty of e-mail options. You can sync with POP3 accounts from AOL, AIM, Yahoo, and Gmail, and you can sync with work corporate e-mail accounts that use Outlook Web Access. The experience is very similar to that on the first two Instinct models (our Instinct review gives a full description). Since it does not have full exchange server support, it has its quirks, but it works fine for basic communication. If you've set up your work e-mail, you'll also be to sync your Outlook calendar and contacts. The same is not true for Outlook Notes, however.
The Opera 9.7 browser lets you view Web pages in their full HTML glory, but it will default to a mobile site if one is available. Compared with a normal WAP browser, Opera 9.7 is slick and pretty, but it's not without its faults. Sure, we get that Opera is trying to make mobile browsing easier to use, but the whole experience gets rather cluttered and redundant. For example, you can save Web pages as bookmarks and as "Speed Dial" pages. While both features do the same thing–give you quick access to your favorite sites–they differ in how they do it. We'll admit readily that the Web page thumbnails on the Speed Dial menu are more visually appealing than a simple list of URL bookmarks, but we don't see why you need both.
Opera 9.7 allows tabbed browsing, so you can keep multiple pages open at once. That's a nice feature, but the interface for swapping between pages is visually overwhelming on a 3.2-inch screen. You'll get used to it, but it takes some practice to understand how to use the browser intelligently. This is the first time that we had to read the relevant section in the phone's user manual. The browser does not support Flash Lite or the Opera Turbo feature.
The Instinct HD doesn't offer the browser panning that we saw on its original predecessor, but the touch interface was mostly fluid and responsive when scrolling through pages. Tapping links wasn't always accurate, though. You can zoom in by double tapping the screen, and we like that you can adjust the zoom percentage in the Settings menu. To zoom out, however, you must use the back touch control below the display (we'd prefer being able to double tap again). Other features on the browser are respectable. You can set home and launch pages, customize privacy settings (cookies, referrer logging, etc.), send a page to a friend, search on a page, and scan your browsing history. You also get a list of saved pages, but that appears to be just another method for saving chosen pages.
The Instinct HD's 5-megapixel camera is unique in the U.S. cell phone world, and Samsung and Sprint are pushing it as the handset's star attraction. In addition to the standard camera features, you can record videos in high definition (1,280×720). Since most cell phone cameras aren't worth their weight in plastic, we weren't sure at first if a cell phone was the best place for an HD camcorder. After some thought we figured that if Samsung could make it work in a compelling way, then there's no reason the phone shouldn't offer it.
If you want to view the video in high-def, you'll need to transfer the video to an HD-capable monitor. That's understandable, but we wish that Samsung included the required cable in the box rather than making it an optional accessory ($29). On the upside, it took just a few seconds to hook up the phone to an HDTV in the CNET Labs and play a test video. The quality was quite impressive, with a sharp picture and bright colors. Editing options aren't extensive and clips can be blown out in direct sunlight, but the Instinct HD does a remarkable job for what it offers. It may not compete with the best HD camcorders out there, but it doesn't have to.

While Fenway Park's attendance for Red Sox games took a sharp turn downward in 1921, the park continued to open its gates for amateur football after the Red Sox season ended.
While Fenway Park's attendance for Red Sox games took a sharp turn downward in 1921, the park continued to open its gates for amateur football after the Red Sox season ended.
Record: 75-79, 5th in American League
Manager: Hugh Duffy
Attendance: 279,273
As the 1920 calendar year was ending, Harry Frazee pulled off his fourth trade with the Yankees in 24 months. In December 1920, the Red Sox sent pitcher Waite Hoyt (a future Hall of Famer) and three others to New York for only one player who would excel, second baseman Del Pratt. In addition, Frazee decided to let manager Ed Barrow escape to the Yankees, where he became business manager, the equivalent of the modern-day general manager.
Over the 1920-21 offseason, Frazee hired longtime Boston baseball man Hugh Duffy as field manager. In early March 1921, popular 12-year veteran right fielder Harry Hooper was traded to the White Sox for Shano Collins and Nemo Leibold. Some members of the press began to pile on Frazee, and Boston Evening American sportswriter Nick Flately called for a fan boycott of Fenway Park. By the end of the year, attendance at Fenway Park ranked last in the American League.
As the newcomer, Pratt led the team with a .324 batting average, 102 RBIs and five home runs. Judged by ERA, the two best pitchers were Sad Sam Jones and Bullet Joe Bush, who combined for 39 wins and 25 losses.
The team continued to tread water and finished in fifth place for the second consecutive year. The trades between the Red Sox and Yankees seemed to be working out in New York's favor as the Yankees won the first pennant in their history while the Red Sox finished 23 ½ games behind.
In 1921, the distances from home plate to each foul pole were first recorded as 324 feet down the left-field line and 313.5 feet down the right-field line.
The Boston vs. New York rivalry in the 1920's wouldn't be a kind one to the team from Massachusetts, though Boston's All-Interscholastic team did defeat New York's squad at Fenway Park by a 2-1 score on July 16, 1921.

|Boston All-Interscholastic 2, New York All-Interscholastic 1
Fenway Park hosted its second Columbus Day football doubleheader in as many years on October 12, 1921, with Boston English and Boston Latin taking home victories. The next month, High School of Commerce defeated Brooklyn Commercial High School and Dartmouth's freshman team shut out Dean Academy

High School 5 (Football)
|November 18
|Dartmouth Freshman Team 21, Dean Academy 0 (Football)
In a game that press accounts described as both disappointing and penalty-marred, Dartmouth's freshman football team showcased their talent against a strong Dean Academy squad before a Fenway Park crowd that featured many Dartmouth alumni and former players. At the time, Dartmouth was building a national collegiate powerhouse and within four seasons they would secure lasting fame by capturing the 1925 National Championship. Dartmouth's rare trips to Fenway Park served as a great recruiting vehicle as well as a rallying point for Boston alumni.

"I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone. I crashed my car into the bridge. I watched, I let it burn. I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs. I crashed my car into the bridge. I don't care, I love it. I don't care". Those are the catchy lyrics from the Swedish duo Icona Pop. This DJ electro house duo is making their way to the top. The song 'I Love It' is a really fun, vibrant and alive song that makes people (as well as me) want to dance and party all night long. The girls names are Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo and if you don't know who is who, you will have to be told. Caroline is the redhead and Aino is the brunette. The two met at a party back in 2009 and from there they hit it off as friends and as as pop duo I really wanted to make this lesson on them both because their music is always on the radio and whenever it comes on it puts you in this pop frenzy. Anyways, this is a fun tut on "how to draw Icona Pop", and if you are a fan of their music you will definitely like this lesson. Happy drawing folks!

Some of the statements in Mr. Reyher's most recent editorial, Nov. 21 edition of the Lamar Ledger are blatantly disgusting. However he does illustrate without question why the Republican Party lost the Nov. election.
The times have changed, Mr. Reyher has not. The Republican Party in it's recent campaign followed the leadership of people like Mr. Reyher, if they continue it will be at their own risk.

I am looking for the name of a young man from the Lamar area who stopped and changed a flat tire for us in the dark near Pratt, Kan. on Fri. Nov 2. He used his cell phone light to see what he was doing. He said that he was enroute to North Carolina for the Army.
He grew up on a farm near Lamar, Colo. I think he drove a white honda. I would like for his parents to know and be very proud of him. Thank You
Editors Note: The young man in question was Josh Robertson, U.S. Army, recently profiled in the Nov. 9 edition of the Lamar Ledger.

I am writing today to thank everyone who supported and voted for my brother, Donald Seufer, candidate for Prowers County Commissioner, District 1. Even though he did not win I am very-very proud of him. It is interesting the opponents who have challenged this seat lose by such an extremely narrow-margin when other races in the county are so widespread.
I compliment my brother and everyone for taking a risk and putting themselves out there as a viable candidate. Thank you for: Recognizing your strengths, and your willingness to use those skills on-behalf of your community. Giving voters a choice, a good choice and for wanting to make a difference. Being the one to step up and stand out when a lot of folks sit back and blend in (including myself!).
Just because you weren't elected doesn't change the significance of your heart, your abilities or your skills. It merely changes your plans.

I recently was shopping at Wal-Mart here in Lamar and as I was leaving accidentally left my cane in the basket. I discovered it upon arriving at home and immediately returned to Wal-Mart, but both the shopping cart and cane were gone. I went in to Customer Service and Sandy told me that a lady had returned it to the Customer Service desk. I wish to thank the lady with all my heart, your thoughtfulness was greatly appreciated as it holds special memories for me. Thank you again.
I also wish to thank Dana Christie and her staff for the fabulous Thanksgiving dinner that she and her staff served to us on Thanksgiving. We lacked for nothing and everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you again.

- Antiseptic lubricant to aid in birthing and repair of prolapses.
- Can also be used for ear tag insertion. It's a lubricating antiseptic that makes tag insertion much easier (requires much less hand strength to press male tag into the female tag). It also reduces infection risk. Antiseptic gel reduces ability of microbes from surface of ear tissue to cause infection in the "wound".
- This product will keep for years if stored out of the sun.
- Available in three sizes:
- 8 oz plastic squeeze bottle with flip nozzle
- 16 oz plastic squeeze bottle with flip nozzle

One of our go to products in our lambing kit. Its the best lube we have tried.
Clint A from Iowa
The lubricant itself is very good, I use it to assist ewes that are having problems lambing. The cap on the bottle should have a larger opening, it comes out too slowly to lubricate a shoulder length sleeve thoroughly.
Yvonne M from Chenango Forks, NY
This lube, in my opinion, is the best on the market. The texture is better than some others that come out of their container in a glob. Works fabulous for delivering kids, and also for ear tagging. I would not be without this product at all and just ordered more for this kidding season.
Danny S from San Angelo, Texas
This stuff is great! I will never tag again without it. Not a single hang up or ripped ear while using this. you owe it to your livestock to use this if your going to tag.
Nathen N from Arizona
Makes tagging so much easier! I used it on all of my kids for both 2011 and 2012 and I haven't had any issues with my kids' ears. Stuff works great.

Virginia contains a number of premier higher-learning institutions and the state's capitol, in particular, is proud home to the University of Richmond. A small liberal arts college, the University of Richmond offers a beautiful campus that will work perfectly for your wedding day photography session.
Start off your photo shoot at the Boatwright Memorial Library, the university's most iconic building, whose Collegiate Gothic architecture is exemplary of most of the other campus structures. Have your wedding photographer arrange a portrait of the bride and groom beneath the beautiful arched entrance or a group photo on the verdant lawn in the foreground of the building. The library is just minutes away from Westhampton Lake, a perfect place to take wedding photos. Here, your wedding photographer can take some photos of the bridal party spread out along the bridge, overlooking the water. The bride and groom can then pose for an intimate portrait inside the charming gazebo that connects the bridge. Afterward, take a short walk to the Cannon Memorial Chapel, located in the heart of campus. The cozy benches in the chapel courtyard, combined with its colorful flower beds, create a gorgeous setting for both group and individual photos. Other great spots for photography on the campus include Dennis Hall, Ryland Hall, and the University Forum.
Richmond's beautiful downtown area contains a number of stunning locations for your wedding photo shoot.
Begin your wedding photography session at the magnificent Jefferson Hotel. Have your wedding photographer assemble a group photo of the bridal party in the front courtyard, beside the glimmering fountain. The bride and groom can then pose for a dramatic portrait against the hotel's elegant exterior walls. Venture inside the hotel and you'll find yourself in the luxurious lobby area. Here, your photographer can arrange a photo of the bridal party staggered along the stylish staircase or lounging on the chic lobby furniture. Afterward, the bride and groom can pose for an intimate portrait on the balcony overlooking the lobby.
Once you've finished at the hotel, take a short limo ride over to St. Paul's Episcopal Church, located directly across from the Virginia State Capitol. Upon arriving, your wedding photographer can organize some photos of the bridal party in between the towering Corinthian columns. Afterward, the bridal party can pose for some photos along the building's front steps. Have your wedding photographer arrange a romantic portrait of the bride and groom in front of the entrance. From street level, your photographer can take a photo of the bride and groom with the church's gorgeous Greek Revival architecture as a backdrop.
Finally, take a short ride over to Richmond's William Byrd Park, one of the city's most popular public parks. Here, the bride and groom can walk along the paved walkway that surrounds the perimeter of the lake as your wedding photographer snaps some photos with the sparkling water in the background. The two of you can then pose beneath one of the park's large shade trees for a private portrait. Have your wedding photographer end the wedding photo shoot with a group photo of the bridal party on the park's lush green lawn.
The most popular and scenic public park in all of Richmond, Maymont Park covers over 100 acres of expanse and will provide a stunning setting for your wedding photo shoot. Start off at the park's gorgeous Italian Garden. Have your wedding photographer take some group and individual photos beneath the extended pergola at the western end of the garden. Afterward, take some time to visit each of the Italian Garden's three levels – the Secret, Promenade, and Cascade gardens. Your wedding photographer can create some great wedding shots of the bride and groom, surrounded by vibrant, neatly-trimmed flower beds. Be sure to utilize the numerous gazebos that are scattered throughout the Italian Garden for some great photo ops.
Next, visit the beautiful Japanese Garden, located in the eastern section of the park. Here, your wedding photographer can take some group photos of the bridal party beside the tranquil koi pond. The numerous bridges within the Japanese Garden will also make perfect spots for your wedding photos. For a truly romantic portrait, the bride and groom can pose in front of the garden's glimmering waterfall. Maymont Park also contains an extensive statuary, whose diverse sculpture works will add a refined touch to your wedding photo album. In addition, you'll find a number of ornate fountains as you explore the park that will make for some fantastic photo ops.

Rid Orchard Road of beggars and hawkers
ONE cannot help but notice an increasing number of people begging for money and selling tissue paper along Orchard Road.
Also on the rise are illegal hawkers at places such as outside Orchard and Somerset MRT stations, selling anything from mobile-phone covers to roasted chestnuts.
I urge the authorities to take action against this group of people, as they are giving a bad image to spanking clean Orchard Road.
This is especially so as Orchard Road is a major tourist attraction and we wouldn't want tourists and foreigners alike to bring home an image of Orchard Road riddled with sidewalk beggars and illegal hawkers.
Nuryusman Mohamed Ibrahim
Actually the tourists probably find the roasted chestnuts quite interesting. The illegal hawkers add a little local flavour into our otherwise sterile cityscape. Think of the Suan Lum or Chatuchak night markets in Bangkok – they're always crowded and messy. And always a big hit with tourists.
As for the tissue paper, it's usually sold by some poor blind woman or one-legged man. Mrs Wang is very kind. When she sees such people, she often gives them $5 or $10 for one packet of tissue. These people need our help. If you don't want to help, at least don't cause them to get arrested.
I don't know what this Nuryusman person is thinking. He notices an increasing number of poor people on Orchard Road, and his biggest concern is the bad impression that the tourists may have. For goodness sakes, Nuryusman. Your biggest concern should be for the poor people.

Hi Terri, I have been looking at these dolls for some time..and was wondering what you think of them? I realize that opinions are subjective, but you are so honest about your observations that I thought I would ask you! I saw this sale posted on the doll boards and it has peeked my interest about FDA dolls once again.ReplyDelete
That was great news.. I love discounted items because it has same quality but you can buy it in lower price. Thanks for heading up.. :)ReplyDelete
You know... at some point, the length of the legs on these things just becomes ridiculous. If you could stop at the knee and be reasonably proportioned, you have _gone too far!_ ;)ReplyDelete
@Anonymous #1:
Check out my previous posts on these dolls by entering FDA in the "Search This Blog" box that you will find in the right hand column near the bottom of the page.
Thanks for your interest.
Hi Terri;
I think these dolls are wonderful but where can I buy one in the U.S.A.? I have found the French web site but there must be an easier way than sending from France. Thanks,
@Londonlizzy: Only available from FDA unless you find one on eBay.ReplyDelete

Districts that require personal financial literacy course surveyed
44 percent of school district require PFL course to graduate, according to the survey
MADISON, Wis. — A survey released last week by the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions says 44 percent of all Wisconsin school districts require a course in personal financial literacy in order to graduate from high school, according to a release.
The survey also showed that of those schools districts that do not require a PFL course, 27 percent of them are considering adding the requirement in the near future.
DFI initiated and funded the survey in collaboration with the Department of Public Instruction.
"DFI is committed to assisting the Governor's Council in fulfilling its mission of measurably improving the financial knowledge of Wisconsin's citizens, especially our K-12 students," DFI Secretary Peter Bildsten said in the release.
Bildsten said the survey provides a benchmark to measure the results of DFI's efforts to promote the integration of personal finance in to schools.
"We intend to move the dial on this important topic," said Bildsten.
The survey included responses from 415 of Wisconsin's 424 school districts, officials said.
Survey results showed that 74 percent of districts include PFL content integrated within courses but not a dedicated PFL course and 60 percent of school districts report offering PFL content at grade levels other than high school, according to the release. The survey also found that 89 percent of the districts with a required course have aligned their PFL course to Wisconsin's Model Academic Standards for Personal Financial Literacy.
"The need to be financially literate has never been more important," Gov. Scott Walker said in the release. "While more than 40 percent of our school districts are requiring their students to take a PFL course in order to graduate, there is more we can do to teach all Wisconsin young people this important life skill."
Walker said he encourages educators to do their part to continue to integrate personal financial literacy in to schools.
"Wisconsin led the nation in the development of rigorous standards around personal financial literacy," State Superintendent Tony Evers said in the release. "It is important that school boards and district leaders continue to expand and enhance opportunities for students to meet these standards, whether it is through a required course, robust elective options and/or integrating this content in grade levels as young as kindergarten."

Hey there;
Sorry to bother you. This morning I actually tried to find my old account name by searching old posts. It was Red 1 Canada.... although I can not remember my password at that time. I have been using the tag "Red One" in different capacities, playstation network etc. for years with the password irightey and thought that would be it....seems to be something different?
It has been years since I tried to log in.
Anything you can do to help me as I would rather be using my old account!

Hiya, sorry that I didn't see this sooner. Hope you're keeping well? Good to hear that you've been busy and hobbying and hope you had a good Christmas, Perhaps we can skype sometime? I'm under the charity name on there. I'm with you re. the forum, I actually don't really even stop by at all. Still have a heck of a lot of faith in Stephen's approach. Hope we can have a chat sometime. May 2010 be a healthy and happy one, take care for now David...
Good to hear from you. I am working full time, have picked up some old hobbies I used to enjoy, and stay busy with family. I have, for the most part, left the CC Forum behind. I check in from time to time. I am have mixed feelings on Davies work; for 3 years he has told me he's working on chronics, when if fact, he has not. I feel someone else is much closer to real world chronic therapies, as close as next year for human trials. This is based on real information, not speculation. We'll see.
Just dropping by to say hi - Hope all is well

The Liberty women's basketball team got its first look at the KFC Yum! Center on Saturday, visiting the state-of-the-art facility for a press conference and 90-minute practice.
The Lady Flames also stopped by Churchill Downs and completed their preparation for Sunday's contest against Purdue. Tipoff is slated for 12:10 p.m., and the game will be broadcasted on ESPN2 and ESPN3.
The following are some highlights from the press conference.
Liberty Head Coach Carey Green "We feel like every year, there's a lot of pressure for us to win our conference and get into the Big Dance. To be able to do that is an accomplishment for us, and I'm very thankful that I've got some great senior leadership this year. Some of them have been through some battles together, but we've persevered and have this opportunity. We're really excited to enter into March Madness.
"Typically you find a team has certain weaknesses and this Purdue team is very well balanced. As they got into conference play, they took care of the ball very well. They executed their offenses and let things work for themselves, and that got them a conference championship. They're a hot team that can do a lot of things very, very well. We'll probably try to take two or three things away from them and see if that's going to be enough to win the game.
"We joke all the time. I may ask the players a question and they know they get half credit if they say either 'Jesus' or 'rebound.' It may not even be anywhere close but if they say 'Jesus' and 'rebound' they'll get half credit. We can joke about it but it's real. Those things are real to us and it's got a tradition. … If you've got that legacy or tradition, it's easy to keep if you put emphasis on it."
Liberty Senior Brittany Campbell "Coach Green's middle name is 'Rebound,' so that is his M.O., that is our M.O. and that is our identity. We take pride in it and that's how we control the game. We go out there knowing that if we can outrebound teams, chances are pretty good for us."
Purdue Head Coach Sharon Versyp "They have great size. They bring in 6-5 and 6-4, and they start 6-3 and 6-2 –very athletic. Penn State has got all that size so we have gone against it. Obviously, they are a little bit different, but you can't always shoot over the top of them. You have to be able to turn and face and attack, try to use your speed and blow them away from the basket a little bit. And still attack even though they are playing zone. … Being in the Big Ten, there are a lot of big players. We have played against huge guards quite a bit and it just comes down to defending and rebounding and making sure we box out and do the right thing. They are not going to call over the back if you're not in great position. They have a great team. Liberty has got an inside-outside game and that's why they're here.
"I think one thing they do exceptionally well is average 17 more rebounds than their opponents and about 22 second-chance opportunities. Those are the two areas that we really have to focus on. We have to play great defense and can't allow them to make a lot of shots. We've got to be able to run so they don't just sit back in that 2-3 zone quite a bit. We've just got to be in that attack mode. I think that's the biggest thing. We can't just settle for outside shots."

It's hard to predict what we can expect from Chicago's celebrity scene in 2012. There could be another blockbuster movie coming our way (like "Man of Steel" in 2011) or one passing us over ("The Dark Knight Rises"). And there could be another celeb moving to the area (Rosie O'Donnell) or one leaving it (LeAnn Rimes, after husband Eddie Cibrian's show "The Playboy Club" was canceled).
Rather than try to make a prediction, I'll stick to what I know. Here is a look at some of the new celeb-related venues and projects in Chicago that have been confirmed for 2012:
RPM Italian: Giuliana and Bill Rancic — stars of the Style Network reality TV show "Giuliana and Bill" — teammed up with R.J., Jerrod and Molly Melman, the siblings behind Hub 51 and Paris Club, to create RPM Italian, a new restaurant in the old Ben Pao spot in the River North neighborhood. Not surprisingly, Style Network cameras have already begun rolling in the restaurant as the reality couple prepares for a late-January opening.
Billy Corgan's unnamed tea shop: Smashing Pumpkins rocker Billy Corgan plans on opening a 1930s-style "Chinese-French" tea shop in Highland Park in the spring. Why Highland Park? Because he lives there. Why a tea shop? Because he enjoys tea. And, as he told Eater.com, he feels the North Shore suburb could use a little culture.
Alain's: The Bears' Israel Idonije is throwing his, um, helmet into the restaurant industry. The co-host of food show "Game Time Dine" (which aired for two seasons on Comcast SportsNet) is scheduled to open Alain's in the South Loop at the end of January, according to a spokesperson for the restaurant.
Lisa Marie Varon's unnamed comfort food restaurant: Pro wrestler Lisa Marie Varon knows a thing or two about owning a restaurant. Varon — currently known as Tara in TNA Wrestling (she was Victoria during her WWE days) — owned and then sold both a gyros stand in Lombard and a pizzeria in Louisville, Ken. Now Varon has her sights set on opening a comfort food restaurant in Chicago. "We have signed a letter of intent on a West Lincoln Park location," Varon said by email. "We are looking at a spring 2012 opening."
Rockit Ranch goes Hollywood: Rockit Ranch Productions — the team behind Sunda, The Underground and Rockit Bar & Grill — is looking to expand into the film industry this year. "Rockit Ranch is in the process of looking at scripts to produce a movie in Chicago," said Rockit Ranch CEO Billy Dec by email. "It's a dream of ours we are starting to pursue. We've been meeting with a lot of talent here."
FX's "Powers": FX has yet to pick up the superhero pilot "Powers," which stars Jason Patric and filmed in Chicago last year, but that doesn't mean the network has given up on it. An FX spokesperson confirmed reports that "Powers" is being retooled but said no dates have been locked in for reshoots.

The Essence of Yoga: Reflections on the Yoga Sūtras of Patańjali
Rudra Press, 1997 - Health & Fitness - 275 pages
The Yoga Sutras distill the essentials of an integrated system of physical and spiritual discipline. All too often, Westerners bypass the philosophy and practice the physical postures. But it is impossible to authentically practice the physical postures without first having grasped the philosophical underpinnings. This book provides a translation of each sutra, study questions, themes for reflection, an illuminating commentary, and the sutra word for word in Sanskrit; an eloquent translation by a celebrated yoga teacher for every yoga and philosophy student; and a modern interpretation of yoga's most important text, the essential source of Yoga.

Welcome to the Varsity College Centre for Interactive Teaching and Learning (CITL) – a community committed to teaching excellence and an authentic modern blended learning experience for students.
CITL was established for the teaching team to connect, share, discuss, collaborate and to build an authentic learning community of teaching practice. The site serves as a dynamic platform for engagement, offering rich curated content and opinions on current educational topics.
We invite you to join the conversation and share your thoughts and experiences.
Ever wondered if you should use the work of others in your own presentations, such as images? How do you attribute, or reference, these resources? Have you ever found yourself searching for images…finding the perfect one, copying it or saving it, and then using it in your presentation? Then think: "Oops, better reference that"?
Most people tend to think that if an image is on the Internet it is fine to copy/save it and then use it, as long as it is referenced. Is referencing sufficient?

I do—it was yesterday.
When I was growing up, I tagged along on trips to state archives and libraries while my mother and her sisters and mother were researching her family line. But my genealogy experience is limited to that and working here at Family Tree Magazine—which, let's face it, is probably the absolute best way to learn about tracing your family's history.
With every resource at my fingertips (namely, every Family Tree Magazine ever printed and our Ancestry.com access), I started to get curious about my Dad's side of the family. I know that most of my great-grandparents emigrated from Eastern Europe, but it gets hazy from there.
My first step (and probably the easiest) was using Steve Morse's One-Step Search tools to see if I could find any of my great-grandparents on any passenger lists. After a brief period of believing my great-grandfather Stanley had changed his name from Wikenty after arriving, I realized that passenger records have two pages and saw that Wikenty was coming to stay with his brother Stanislaw—bingo. (Jumping to conclusions should be the cardinal sin of genealogy.)
I began filling out a printout of our downloadable five-generation pedigree chart with as much information as I knew. Armed with three of my great-grandparents' Social Security numbers (found in the Social Security Death Index) and the requisite forms from the SSA, I mailed off requests for copies of their SS-5 forms, the application for a Social Security number.
And now I wait. With any luck, I'll soon (soon being a relative term) know the real birthdates and birthplaces of my great-grandparents and finally find out their parents' names. In the mean time, I'm really looking forward to the next time I see my grandparents—I have so many questions to ask.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — A California man who walked out of the wilderness with no injuries after being lost for two bone-chilling nights didn't follow a basic rule of search-and-rescue, but he still beat the odds.
Survival specialist Skip Stoffel said Wednesday that anybody like runner Robert Root, who gets lost in the wild, should make a visible signal and stay put so rescuers can find them. Stoffel says a moving target is harder to find.
But 55-year-old Root found his way. He got lost from his running group Sunday in remote Placer County. He searched for help Monday with no success. On Tuesday, he walked up to searchers on a bridge.
Root wore a light jacket, shorts and running shoes. Rescuers say he ate energy supplements he brought on the run.

i've been getting a lot of spam comments lately — a LOT — that aren't being picked up by the spam filter.
i might've just lived with having to delete them, but they're pr0n spam — and they're not just any pr0n spam, but they're "little lolita" pr0n spam, and that's just … disgusting.
so i've changed the commenting policy so that:
"Comment author must have a previously approved comment."
don't know if this means that i've now got to approve the next comment from each of you regulars or not. so if your comment doesn't appear immediately, you'll know what's happened … and i'll approve it asap!
sorry 'bout that.

The Family Tree Forum has its own Reference Library. It currently holds over 4500 pages of information and links which were entirely created and are maintained by the members.
When the Family Tree Forum started out, the boards quickly became crowded with recommendations for websites on a wide variety of topics as well as a rapidly growing accumulation of advice and wisdom from the old hands at genealogical research.
A group of likely victims was approached to help with the organisation of these threads and in March 2007, the first faltering steps were taken in programming the pages in Mediawiki. None of the four people who began creating the pages had ever used this method of coding before, but it soon became second nature for them, others joined them and eventually the reference threads were all transferred to their new home. The membership of the team, known as SCADS (Site Content and Development) changed as some were unable to continue and others joined, and in June 2008 the Library was opened up to all members to edit and the SCAD team were disbanded.
In January 2010, it was decided to take advantage of the new version of the software which is used to run the forum and much of the content is to be moved from its first home to where you see it now. This will be an ongoing process. Members will not be able to edit the pages directly, but will still be able to contribute content and to alert us to any problems such as broken links.
Alongside the categorised links, sections have been created which aim to give help and advice on any aspect of genealogical research. These are a mixture of pointers to useful sites and how to use them together with advice from experienced researchers on how to go about tracing your ancestors and creating a family tree.
In addition to the sections of the Reference Library which can be accessed from the left hand menu of the Home Page, there are several other important areas. These sections of the library are also accessible from the Site Projects section in the left hand menu.
