This is the help documentation for users for the fantasy golf application.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Salary Cap?
There is a Salary Cap for each tournament within a fantasy golf game. The Salary Cap for each tournament will be shown on the tournament detail page and the picks page. When there is not a Salary Cap for a tournament, then users can pick the maximum number of players based upon the game.
The player's individual salary cap can either be static or change through out the season, depending on how the manager of the game updates the player salary cap.
Why must I pick players for each tournament?
The reason you must pick players for each tournament is because fantasy golf games are suppose to be interactive. By having to pick a group of players for each tournament that is being used for the game, you are more engaged with the game. Picking X number of players for the entire season at the beginning of the year (before the first tournament is played) means you have no real interest in checking back and updating your picks. If you have an opportunity to pick players for each tournament, then you are visiting on a regular basis, hopefully at least once a week (if there is a tournament each week). This game is suppose to be interactive and make you think.
I do not see any players in the Picks page to be able to pick
On the Picks page, if the "Players" filter is set for a tournament, and that tournament's field has not been added to the tournament, then the list of players will show as being empty. Either you will need to wait until the field for the selected tournament is entered into the system and make your picks from the list then, or you can uncheck the "Tournament" option in the "Players" filter, hit the "Apply Filter" button and see all of the players in the system. You can then select the players you want for a selected tournament accordingly. Also, if you have selected to receive emails in your profile, the system will send an email notification to you when a field added for each tournament.
Why are not all of the players in the field for a tournament?
Players are added to the FanGolf system at the beginning of the year based upon the previous year. If a new player plays in a tournament over the course of the current year, that player will not be added to the system until the following year. So in the current year, that player will not show in the results of the tournaments accordingly.
When can I pick players for a tournament?
The options for picking players for a tournament are "before", "on day 1", "on day 2", and "on day 3". Each game has these options. However, it is up to the game administrator to decide which of these options are available for the users and if there is a earnings discount associated with them (i.e. 30% earnings discount for picking on day 1).
The date is based upon the start date of the tournament, with the time based upon the timezone of the tournament.
You are never allowed to pick players on the last day of the tournament. So if the tournament is only 3 days, and the game allows for picking players "on day 3", you will still not be able to make picks for the tournament on day 3.

Catching Fire and Mockingjay, Suzanne Collins
After reading the comments on my previous post, I decided to read the second two books in the Hunger Games trilogy. Loved them. And I can see why many people hated the third book–according to the Amazon reviews, for many of the reasons that I liked it (mainly the main characters' actions and reactions).
It actually ended up a little less dark than I had expected–not to spoil anything, I'll just say there was one line in Catching Fire that I thought was foreshadowing things turning out very bad.
Anansi Boys, Neil Gaiman
It's been a long time since I read American Gods, but I have the feeling I liked this one better. It was, at least, a nice change to read something relatively cheerful and humorous.

P.O. Box 12068, State Capitol
Austin, Texas 78711
Tel. (512) 463-0112
June 12, 2009
AUSTIN — The Dallas Morning News editorial board named Senator Nelson "The Fixer," recognizing her efforts to reform Texas' state schools for individuals with developmental disabilities. The board wrote: "At the session's beginning, Gov. Perry told legislators to upgrade state homes for the mentally disabled and do it fast. Sen. Jane Nelson, chair of Health and Human Services, got on it and produced legislation to improve the care at the facilities, where fight nights got them on the national news. The Flower Mound Republican once again proved herself a problem solver."
The Associated Press named Senator Nelson one of "the lawmakers who molded and shaped the Legislature," in its coverage. "Committee chairs are coveted seats because of the power they have to control which bills move forward and which ones die. Nelson's Health and Human Services Committee passed judgment on many of the session's hot-button issues from state school reforms to stem cell research and a potential smoking ban," the AP reported. "Nelson carried a host of health care legislation including a bill aimed at retaining nurses and one of Gov. Rick Perry's emergency items — reforms for the state's 13 large institutions for the developmentally disabled, which were facing allegations of widespread abuse and neglect."
Texans for Fiscal Responsibility rated Senator Nelson the Senate's most conservative member on fiscal issues. "State Sen. Nelson was one of the good guys this legislative session," said Michael Quinn Sullivan, the organization's president. "Nelson is clearly a leader for Texas' taxpayers, working to ensure that sound fiscal principles trumped political expediency. Texans need more champions in the Senate like Jane Nelson. There is no doubt this would have been a better Session if more legislators voted like Jane Nelson."
Capitol Inside, an online newsletter that covers Texas politics, gave Senator Nelson an "honorable mention" as one of the session's most influential lawmakers. "Jane Nelson is one of the Legislature's true superstars - and she had another outstanding session in 2009," he said. "No one is more effective when it comes to getting the job done on the issues that she considers to be her top priorities. Jane Nelson is definitely someone you want to have on your side in a fight.
Senator Nelson was the second most prolific bill passer of the Texas Legislature this session, sending 38 bills to the governor's desk. Seven other bills by Senator Nelson were sent to the governor in the form of amendments to other legislation. She also successfully guided 37 House bills to the governor's desk as the Senate sponsor.

Need to sell Sandro and Klassen, then spunk the lot on a left back.Cresswell is from where I'm from, so I'd get on board with that. Ignoring the fact he's a kopite.
at first my mind was subbing "Chilwell" when y'all were shitting all over Cresswell, and I was completely baffled.Now, I'm back to my usual depression. Carry on.
I cant get my head around us not having a left back in already. This is just as criminal as not getting a striker last summer

The Scotch-Brite™ Roloc™ disc is a surface conditioning disc that combines a long lasting abrasive and 3M's Roloc™ attachment system. The compressed non-woven disc uses aluminium oxide mineral abrasive offering a continuous fast cutting action and consistency. The fibres use resin which will dissolve and break down over time, allowing them to stay strong and heat resistant. Suitable for removing paint and rust from seams, doors, moulding, welds and other tight areas.
Scotch-Brite™ compressed discs with Roloc™ fixing system for flat work.
For all deburring operations on sharp edges and large burrs on contoured parts.
For carbon and stainless steels, non-ferrous metals (copper alloys, aluminium, etc.) and synthetic materials. For titanium, it is best to use silicone carbide discs (S).
The unique construction of the Scotch-Brite™ disc is made up of non-woven fibres and aluminium oxide abrasive making it tough and durable. The open web material is kept consistent as the open web material runs cool, limiting fibres to clog up.
The Scotch Brite™ surface conditioning disc allows for easy adaptation to a profiled surface. It has been designed to last longer than wire brushes and other abrasive discs. The abrasive density allows for an aggressive cutting power for effective deburring without damaging the part.
The Roloc™ system from 3M™ provides a secure attachment on heavy duty applications. It allows for Roloc discs to be quickly swapped out from one application to another in seconds. The plastic threaded button or screw is designed to easily and quickly screw on a Roloc TR disc pad.
Strong unitised construction provides effective edge deburring and finishing
Hard densities offer good edge retention, to help maintain a consistent shape and cutting action
Soft densities offer conformability and flexibility for finishing flat, contoured, or irregular surfaces without damaging the part
Compressed, open-web construction and uniform grain distribution provides consistent cutting action
3M™ Roloc™ attachment system offers quick and easy disc change-out for multi-step finishing processes
The disc is capable of:
Removing paint, rust, harden adhesives, light scratches and weld burns and more.
It's great for smoothing, polishing and cleaning most metals.
Benefits of using a non-woven disc?
Non-woven discs provide a uniformed and consistent performance throughout its lifetime. They are flexible to allow the material to adapt and conform to irregular surfaces. the open construction allows for air circulation for cool operation and reduces the potential for burning.

What is NASBIT?
NASBIT© is a Licensed trademark of SimplyNAS. The acronym stands for Network Attached Storage Burn in Testing. This term is used to describe the process of testing new Network Attached Storage (NAS) hardware and firmware for faults before putting it to use in a live environment. This is done by running 'Stress testing' software for a stipulated period of time often 24 to 48 hours, but longer if needed.
When we receive an order for a NAS system pre-installed with disk drives it's prepared and configured with RAID followed by burn testing to ensure the entire system undergoes a thorough examination thus ensuring the server passes all tests to the highest standards set by us. Should the system hardware or any associated components fail at any point of the testing cycle the system is pulled and returned back as faulty our relevant vendor partner, the process seems simple but setting it up is far from easy.
Hard Disk Drives
All Hard disk drives are pre-tested prior to integration; the smallest of faults be it tolerable within industry standards are classified by us as faults, the hard drive is rejected and eliminated from the process and again returned back to source as a D.O.A. (dead on arrival). We continue to select drives from different batches, so as to eliminate any bad batches that may have been produced during manufacturing.
One integrated the drives are put through a vigorous routine that includes stress testing, including temperature tests and a host of read, writes to ensure the drive platters are stressed to the nth degree.
First, when the new server is turned on, we boot off of the network, and proceed to run the memory test that takes its sweet time, almost 10-12 hours dependent on manufacturer and model.
The appropriate RAID level is set and the system awaits completion of RAID synchronization. Once completed the NAS server undergoes numerous re-boots and a deletion of original RAID and a final re-build of RAID level again.
Why is NAS Burn in Testing (NASBIT©) necessary?
If within the designated time span the NAS servers are still running and with zero faults, it is considered suitable for rolling out to our customers. If there is a failure of any kind the systems is replaced with a new one, including hard drives and the process starts again, until the NAS servers passes with ZERO faults.
You would normally expect that this level of testing would be completed by the hardware manufacturers and so these tests shouldn't show up any faults. In our experience of testing hundreds of machines we do find faults, and we do send systems back.
The reason it is so important to perform this level of testing on NAS servers is that the uptime demands are so high. The slightest faults will cause outages and downtime. Once a NAS server is deployed, never again will you have the opportunity to take it offline and perform such detailed testing. Even if it were to crash, there is always a demand that it be put back online as quickly as possible, not left offline whilst thorough diagnostics are completed.
Always remember this is hardware and failures can and will occur even after burn testing has been carried, that is a fact of life we cannot avoid, but we do try and eliminate some of the hassle factor with testing. Thank you for buying from us, we truly appreciate your custom.

Livable Communities
The Role of Asphalt in Livable Communities acknowledges the momentum towards creating more livable communities and details the versatility of asphalt pavements and sustainable qualities that make it a natural source for advancing the goals of livability.
The report also recommends that livability goals be broadly defined to ensure that all of the population benefits and that funding for livability not siphon money away from needed pavement preservation and infrastructure maintenance.

If you're house shopping, there's probably one question that's been on your mind often: "What size home should I buy?" At a glance, the answer seems obvious: as big as you can afford! But that's only a small piece of the puzzle. Home size matters on many levels from personal preference to resale value, future plans, your budget, and more.
How do you find the ideal home size for you and your family? Here are three things you need to consider:
A foot is a foot, right? When it comes to the square footage of your future home that may not be the case. Measuring the size of a house isn't incredibly precise. More often than not, the size will change depending on which appraiser is measuring and what mechanism they're using to determine the square footage: measuring tape, laser measure, or eyeball. The reality is that there are no universal standards when it comes to measuring your home size.
What does this mean for you? You need to choose your home size not by the numbers but by the feel. Don't put too much stock in the listing size on paper, but instead find out in person if each room, bathroom, and living area is large enough for your needs. It's not about how other individuals answer the question, "What is a good sized house?" It's about you, your family, and how big a place feels in person.
While your budget isn't the only thing you should consider, it needs to be one of the critical factors in determining your ideal home size. And that may be little more complicated than you think. What matters when it comes to your budget?
Your particular wants and needs should have the most significant impact on the home you choose. Make sure you're truthful and honest with yourself about your expectations and needs. For example, if you eat out regularly and hate cooking, there's no need to spend on a gourmet kitchen! You'd be better served looking for a home with a smaller kitchen and a bigger living room.
To help you determine your preferences, here are ten questions you should ask yourself:
For additional help, check out, "What size home should I buy?"
The key to purchasing the right-sized home for you is being realistic. Make sure you really sit down with your family to discuss what you need, want, and can afford. Then, ask your local Coldwell Banker SKS Realty real estate agent to help you search for the perfect sized house for you.

Reducing waste through creativity…
Bunny Yan, Materials Upcycling Specialist and Founder of the Squirrelz (an app allowing designers and marketers to tap into the designer community and benefit from the unused materials they've left over – (bio)) joins hosts Stephanie Benedetto and Samanta Cortes at the MouthMedia Network Studios.
From Shanghai to New Jersey, 25 million tons of waste daily, and success stories
Yan shares why her name is Bunny, why the company's name is the Squirrelz, her background as born in Shanghai and raised in NJ, art, drawing, design, FIT, and being in fashion/marketing for 18 years working for urban wear companies, and designing for Busta Rhymes. Reducing waste through creativity, working with brands and turning their materials or marketing waste into products or providing them to others who can, such as trimmings, buttons, extra material waste etc. The first shared economy and free marketplace of its kind, and why Yan wants it to be free right now. How landfills receive 25 million tons/day of wasted materials. How it could be another resell platform. The process of downloading the app, browsing through, finding material you like, and then you match it to a place and then pick up the material. No money need, just sign in via social platform, promoting hyper local community-building in NYC, with an aim to be global. Stories of success such as someone claiming a recorder for their autistic daughter, and a design student who became a sewing teacher for another designer's daughter, creating a job.
What's in a name, monetizing, and re-purposing material
Why the name The Squirrelz — because they gather, and in contaminated areas you don't see squirrels. Why they thought about changing their name and then didn't. Why brands put so much material in landfills or burn them, remaking things into something else in current form, inspiring creativity, samples, and lab dips. How they monetize, with programs and partnerships with bigger brands, such as Tom's Shoes providing defective shoes they previously had to burn, working with schoolchildren to paint on the shoes. No logistic, no storage, get marketing piece, and a tax write off. Banners and window clings after ad campaigns are always discarded, created line of bags with them. Discovering a what particular material does (i.e. fold, wrinkle burn, make a sound) and what can you make of those qualities and turn into something else that shares those characteristics in a better way.
Outsourcing sustainability, moving the 1%, and saved by a monk
How a mistake can become a success, working on what part of waste to get rid of first in a way you can benefit customers and continue to work within companies, outsourcing the sustainability department. The extraordinarily massive waste each year, playing connector to facilitate brands with designers, realizing talent and providing jobs while solving problems for brands. Upcycling as a part of bringing manufacturing back to the US, its ability to be an entire new industry, how it can allow more areas to access more desirable materials, and the opportunity for retails stores to upsell. And the goal to move 1% of material waste from landfills. Being saved by a monk when clapping bring terrifying cats in Japan, resisting a math scholarship for art leads to fashion education tips, and why ability doesn't equate to destiny.

Field trips
All environmental first year students go onto the Environmental Field Course, currently based in Devon. This occurs very early on, in October, and is a great way of getting to know each other, the staff and the environment. We stay in the Dartmoor National Park at Colehayes Park and students carry out a range of field activities related to their degree.
All environmental Level Two students go onto the International Field Course, currently in Italy.
During the week students will experience a range of activities that include examining alpine lakes and forests, contaminated land, eutrophication of lakes, the water quality and pests of Venice, lake amenities for tourists, redevelopment of Trento and the conservation of Italian biotopes.
A new tropical field trip has been developed for Conservation Biology, Environmental Biology and Environmental Science students, designed to take place in Cuba.
The Cuba trip will be available to most environmental awards (Environmental Science, Environmental Biology, Conservation Biology but not Environmental Health).
It involves a week of tropical survey techniques of birds, bats and reptiles in the Cuban forest and a week of SCUBA diving to learn survey techniques on coral reefs.
You can watch a video about the 2012 Cuba field trip.

for life's little mishap
AlfaSilver Spray treats minor injurieson the go
Cuts, grazes, minor burns and blisters happen all the time. With Alfasilver Spray you can help to speed up the healing of the injury, even when it is in a difficult to reach place or it's quite large. Which means you can get back to what you were doing.
Never Miss Out
A wound treatment with antibacterial silver ions, that speeds healing of cuts, grazes, minor burns and blisters.1
See how Alfasilver Spray ensures you never miss out again!
What is Alfasilver Spray?
Not all first aid equipment is suitable for every type of injury. It may not stay in place, it may fall off in the shower, or be difficult to use on injuries in hard to reach places.
Alfasilver Spray is a new wound treatment with antibacterial silver ions, that speeds healing of cuts, grazes, minor burns and blisters.1
It covers the cut or graze with a breathable barrier. This protects the injury and promotes the body's own healing process.1 It also contains silver ions, which are well-known for their antibacterial properties. This helps protect against infection.1
How do I use Alfasilver Spray?
Alfasilver Spray has a simple, soothing spray on application, suitable for sensitive skin.1,2
- First clean the injury
- Then shake the can and spray on the cut or graze in short intervals1
- The spray will show as a white coating on the skin so you can see it's covered the injury
- It's easy to spray on to all the hard to reach places
- If any does get on to healthy skin, simply wipe away1
- Any excess powder on the injury or skin around it is entirely normal. This is because each injury is different and the amount it oozes may require more or less of the Alfasilver mineral coating to fully absorb it
The protective barrier is shower-proof and won't rub off on clothes, so you don't need to worry about missing out on what you or your family love most.1

Nest Brings Back Smoke Detectors at Lower Price After Recall
Nest is putting its smoke and carbon monoxide detectors back on the market at a lower price, just more than two months after sales of the product were halted due to a flaw.
Nest announced late Monday that the Protect, its smart smoke detector, is "once again available" to customers at $99, down from its previous price of $129. The announcement came in the second to last sentence of a long blog post and made no mention to the glitch that forced it off the market originally.
The smart home device maker announced in March that it had discovered that Nest Wave, a feature that lets users turn off the smoke detector just by waving their hands, could also be triggered accidentally. In May, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced that 440,000 smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were being recalled to fix the glitch.
Tony Fadell, the CEO of Nest and a former Apple employee who helped design the iPod, later bristled at the word "recall" during an interview at a conference.
According to the New York Times, Nest has not fixed the glitch, but deactivated the feature for now in order to resume sales.
Google agreed to acquire Nest for $3.2 billion in January.

Ironman's top tips for CrossFit athletes
The first day of the Australian CrossFit Championship will open with a beach event on the Gold Coast, and Queensland Ironman, Matt Bevilacqua, will be helping out on the day to brief the athletes.
The Tasmanian born athlete has built up an impressive resume since relocating to Queensland to compete on the Ironman circuit. Bevilacqua has spent six seasons on the Nutri-Grain Ironman & Ironwoman Series circuit, taking out a series win last year for the 2017/2018 series.
Other career highlights include a second place finish at the iconic Coolangatta Gold race in 2016, and winning the Molokai 2 Oahu Paddleboard World Championships an impressive four years in a row. In 2016, he set a Molokai course record by completing the epic 42 kilometre paddle across the Ka'iwi Channel in just 4 hours 29 minutes and 20 seconds.
The ACC had a chat to the Ironman to find out his top tips for CrossFit athletes heading to the beach on Day 1 of the sanctioned event. With the event details not yet released, Bevilacqua spoke generally about the three basic elements of surf sports (swimming, board paddling and beach running) that might show up on the day.
With several swimming events popping up at high profile competitions over the past few years there are probably very few CrossFit athletes who haven't added an occasional splash in the pool into their training program.
However, Bevilacqua says there are a few things that athletes will need to consider when they take their aquatic skills into the surf.
'You want to be holding that body position in the water – with your legs up, and kicking at least a little bit to keep a good body position that will make swimming so much more efficient and effective (and not as draining)' he says.
'A lot of the CrossFit athletes are going to have a lot of upper body strength, so it's all about keeping that kick throughout to maintain that 'legs up' body position. Once you throw that into the surf it becomes a lot more important because there's a lot more aerated water, more white water, and less buoyancy. A lot of the surf swimmers are good at keeping that body position up [as they would] in flat water'.
The beach elements add an extra challenge and Bevilacqua recommends that athletes take a look at the conditions.
'It is all about managing your course so I'd suggest if they could, to get out there before [the event] to feel the water and see what's going where' he explains.
'Try not to focus on swimming as hard and fast – swimming in the surf is all about course management and figuring out where to go and where you should be, and hitting those points'.
In the surf, he suggests that success will not always go to the fastest swimmer and that a quick swimmer who is not thinking about what they are doing may not do as well as 'the next person who has kept their eye on the buoy, kept their head up through the break, hit those sections of the rip where they wanted to and managed to get out in the right position… rather than someone who is two metres to their right getting smoked on the bank all the way out and has missed the buoy by a little bit'.
While it can be helpful to locate a rip (sections of water that are moving out to sea, usually identified by a break in the waves) on the way out, Bevilacqua says that athletes need to be swimming in with the breaking waves on the way in to shore.
'All along the Gold Coast it's just rip – sandbar – rip – sandbar so the course is not usually going to be simply on a sandbar. You do need to look out for those rips – keep your head up, locate that buoy and then as soon as you're heading back in, pick a location such as a tower or a tree that's behind your finish line and shoot for that so that your course management is really on point'.
Board paddling
Bevilacqua says that the advice on course management also applies to board paddling and suggests that if there is a board component that athletes should keep an eye on the buoys on the way out and make sure that they are paddling in through the breaking waves on the way back to shore (with an eye on a fixed location to keep them on track).
Athletes will need to focus on their position on the board to maximise efficiency.
'Boards are very tricky and I definitely suggest just laying down – don't even bother trying to get up on your knees. That's a great thing to be able to do but stay efficient and effective. Most CrossFitters I've seen are better off staying on their stomach and navigating their way through [from a prone position]'.
'It's all about getting your body weight on that perfect plane so that there's a nice bow wave coming off of the nose of the board. That's the perfect position' he explains.
'When you go to catch a wave you want to make sure you've caught that wave and then you slide back so that you're not nosediving or losing your board on the way in, which could cost you a lot of time'.
He suggests that a cautious approach is the way to go.
'It is better safe than sorry on the board. You're better off playing it safe. Getting around the course without getting smoked and getting back to shore with your board is very nice'.
Running on the soft sand can be a very different experience to running on a track or the road, particularly during transitions out of the water.
Bevilacqua explains how athletes can maximise efficiency and reduce the feeling of 'jelly legs'.
'Athletes want to utilise that upper body strength that they have – whatever your legs are doing, your arms need to be doing. So you warm up your arms, you get them swinging out of the water and lift your legs. Your arm [movement will help] lift your legs up'.
'Sand running is all about toes first. You're running on your tippy toes so you can get your feet down into that harder sand' says Bevilacqua.
'You can't run on the sand flat footed so it's basically the same running technique – CrossFitters are pretty good runners – but it's all about getting the toes in deep, keeping those arms moving and keeping that momentum because you really don't want to be slowing up in that soft sand up the top of the bank'.
Spectators will be able to check out all of the Australian CrossFit Championship athletes in action at Kurrawa Beach on 24 January 2019. Keep an eye on our socials closer to the date for start times and updates.

Alexis Diaz / Faith47 [ PUERTO RICO | SOUTH AFRICA ]all artists
Familiar with each other's...
work but having never worked together, Faith47 from South Africa and Alexis Diaz from Puerto Rico created a mural that harmoniously combines Faith47's ethereal style with Diaz's detailed brush work.
Their mural for Wynwood Walls' 2014 program, the Art of Collaboration, is named EROS – DESIRE – DE SIDUS – OF THE STAR, Eros for the Greek god of love and desire, with the word desire coming from the Latin word 'de sidus' which means 'of the star'. According to Diaz "the mural reflects on the different layers of sensuality and the intensity of how we look to a partner to complete us". He further suggests that perhaps sensual desires could be reflective of a deep yearning to return to the source.
In addition to their mural together, both Faith47 and Alexis Diaz have murals in the Wynwood Doors.

Four Lower Manhattan elected officials authored a letter to Mayor Michael Bloomberg today, pleading that "quality of life" concerns from residents near Zuccotti Park be addressed.
Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Senator Daniel Squadron, Assemblyman Sheldon Silver and Council Member Margaret Chin made it clear in the letter that they support the First Amendment rights of Occupy Wall Street protesters, but they say that some behavior, specifically excessive drumming and public urination on streets and buildings, has got to stop.
From the letter:
At the same time, some of the protesters, and others who have opportunistically joined the crowd for unrelated reasons, have created serious quality-of-life concerns for residents of the immediate area. Members of the OWS group have worked with Community Board One to establish a "Good Neighbor Policy" that addresses these issues. Despite everyone's best efforts, this policy has proven difficult to enforce.
Therefore, we are asking that the city enforce laws prohibiting the excessive noise from drumming, which has disturbed neighbors day and night, as well as those prohibiting public urination on our streets, buildings and sidewalks. We also ask that the city work with residents and businesses to remove the excessive number of barricades, which are making movement within this area extremely difficult and inconvenient. It is important that these quality-of-life concerns are addressed in an effective and thoughtful manner by the city so that they do not keep recurring.
This letter comes after the same concerns have been routinely voiced by residents and officials. Last week, residents near Zuccotti Park complained to Chin's office about hours of drumming over the weekend, despite a meeting with protesters just days before where community board members asked Occupy Wall Street to limit the noise to two hours per day.

Leader seeks to end "gay and transgender panic" defense
Updated Friday 4 p.m.
HARTFORD — Several Democratic lawmakers have filed bills to ban "gay and transgender panic" as a criminal defense.
Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney, D-New Haven, introduced this legislation, as did Rep. Raghib Allie-Brennan, D-Bethel, and Rep. Jeff Currey, D-East Hartford. Allie-Brennan and Currey are the General Assembly's only openly gay lawmakers.
Looney, an attorney who practices criminal law, wants state statutes to be amended so a criminal defendant may not claim the "shock" of learning that a person was gay or transgender to justify or excuse the violence perpetrated against that person.
For up-to-date information on public policy issues, sign up for the CT Politics newsletter.
California was the first to ban the defense in 2014, followed by Illinois.
Looney said Thursday he was unaware of the number of occasions the defense has been used in Connecticut.
"I think it is needed everywhere basically to make sure this is not a way for people to use bigotry as a defense for the commission of heinous crimes," said Looney. "Theoretically, you could say that if this defense is allowed, someone could say they have a visceral hatred of a certain racial or ethnic group, and then that would excuse an act of violence against that group."
The bill will be considered by the legislature's Judiciary Committee. Similar legislation has been discussed in other states.
LGBTQ individuals have seen increased protections and rights in Connecticut in recent years. Former Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed legislation banning conversion therapy for LGBTQ individuals in 2017.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Malloy signed legislation in 2017 banning discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression. In 2017, Malloy signed a bill banning conversion therapy.

Exterior Design: **
Let's face it, it's a Hummer H3, and that means boxy and kinda cute like a GI Joe toy. The grille on the hood has no function, nor do the air breathers by the windshield. But, with 10.2" of ground clearance and huge knobbly tires, it does carry a certain air of purpose about it.
Interior Design: ***
An extra star for not using chrome plastics. The seats are perfection. With all the legroom in the backseat, it's a nice vehicle for passengers as well. The instrument panel lighting is attractive and easy to read.
Acceleration: ***
4.10 gears get these 2.5 tons of steel and plastic up and moving. It's not gonna blow anyone's doors off, but it does what it needs to in traffic.
Braking: ****
Big discs at each corner slow this thing down in a hurry, and the dynamic rear proportioning should keep the rubber rolling in the back regardless of load. There's no handbrake present, and that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The vehicle will automatically engage brakes if it rolls backwards for 2 seconds, but a handbrake would have felt more natural.
Ride: **
Bouncy and truckish, but this is a pre-production model, so lets hope it gets smoothed out by the time it reaches showroom floors.
Handling: ***
Given the ride height and center of gravity, this thing actually handles pretty well. The massive sway bars in the front and back help cornering a lot and the new steering gearing (16:1, 3 1/8 lock-to-lock) made parking and general driving pretty easy.
Gearbox: ****
Its 50:1 crawl ratio and 4.03 low range lock make downhill grades virtually brake free and let the 4-speed HydraMatic do all the work, keeping 2.5 tons under control. Highway shifting is silky smooth.
Audio: **
The speakers are fine and amplification is decent, but where's the iPod jack? XM is great and all, but c'mon, even Aveo's have an AUX input jack these days. It can't cost that much to implement this, so it just seems like an annoying oversight.
Toys: ***
The nav/entertainment system is nice, but throws a distracting glare into the back window. The pushbutton 4x4 controls are easy to read and conveniently located above the radio. Monochrome reverse vision seems a bit dated, but probably gives a better image in low light situations. The sunroof improves off-road visibility, especially when crawling down steep grades. OnStar and XM are nice doodads as well, at least for the free trial periods.
Value: N/A
Can't really call this one until pricing is announced, but there's bound to be a premium on the Hummer brand.
Overall: **
Probably the most complete vehicle in the Hummer range, the H3T improves on its relatives' best attributes — off-road ability and macho styling — but still suffers from the same problems - 'roid rage styling and enormous dimensions for relatively little storage space. A plain old pickup would be cheaper and more practical. Still, if you must have a Hummer, this is the one to get.

Improving Mental Health Outcomes: Building an Adaptive Implementation Strategy
Despite the availability of psychosocial evidence-based practices (EBPs), quality and outcomes for persons with mental disorders remain suboptimal because of organizational barriers to implementation. Replicating Effective Programs (REP), an implementation intervention applied to promote the use of psychosocial
treatments in community-based practices, still resulted in only 27% of sites actually sustaining the use of these treatments. Based on input from community partners from our previous R01 (MH79994), the study team subsequently enhanced REP to include Facilitation, a novel implementation intervention which addresses sitelevel organizational barriers to EBP adoption beyond REP?s emphasis on fidelity. Two Facilitation roles were developed: External and Internal Facilitators. External Facilitators (EFs) reside outside the clinic, are supported
by the study, and provide technical expertise to providers in adapting and using EBPs in routine practice. Internal Facilitators (IFs) are employed by the sites, have a direct reporting relationship to site leadership, and have protected time to conduct activities to help site program champions implement EBPs. IFs also address
site-specific organizational barriers that may not be observable at baseline or by EFs. The overarching goal of this study is to build the most cost-effective adaptive implementation intervention involving REP and the augmentation of the EF and IF roles to improve patient outcomes and the uptake of an EBP for mood disorders
(Life Goals-LG) in community settings. The primary aim of this clustered randomized trial is to determine, among sites not initially responding to REP (i.e., limited LG uptake), the effect of adaptive implementation interventions in sites receiving External and Internal Facilitator (REP+EF/IF) versus External Facilitator alone (REP+EF) on improved patient-level outcomes, including mental health quality of life and decreased symptoms, as well as increased LG use among patients with mood disorders after 12 months. Secondary aims are to determine, among sites that continue to exhibit non-response after 12 months, the effect of continuing Facilitation on patient-level outcomes at 24 months, describe the implementation of EF and IF, and to conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of REP+EF/IF compared to REP+EF over the 24-month period. A representative
cohort of 80 community-based outpatient clinics (total 1,600 patients) from different U.S. regions (Michigan, Colorado, and Arkansas) will be included in this study. We will use a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) design to build the best adaptive implementation intervention. This groundbreaking
study design will address three crucial implementation issues: First, IFs are costly for sites since they require additional administrative effort. Second, the extent to which an off-site EF alone versus the addition of an onsite IF can improve patient outcomes in community settings is unclear. Finally, among sites that continue to
exhibit non-response after 12 months of Facilitation, the value of continuing the implementation strategy (i.e., delayed effect) has not been assessed, especially in smaller practices from more rural settings.

With more than 150 million active users, Pinterest has become the go-to resource for everything from recipes and makeup tutorials, to furniture refinishing and tattoo designs. Pinterest positions itself as the world's catalog of ideas—but it's also a prime channel for brand marketing: In a recent survey, 93% of pinners said they use Pinterest to plan for purchases—and 87% have purchased a product because of a pin.
What does it take to be a standout on Pinterest among the more than 75 billion pins? Following are five lessons from top brands that are killing it on the social media channel, building brand loyalty one pin at a time.
1. Offer variety. Don't pigeon-hole your brand. With 4.5 million followers, upscale fashion retailer Nordstrom is one of Pinterest's most recognizable brands. They've created a devoted following by casting a wide net—men's fashion, prom, handbags, denim, baby. With 443,000+ pins on 78 boards, you're sure to find something that speaks to you at Nordstrom.
2. Find a common thread. Specialty retailer L.L. Bean is a great example of how to make a brand connection by appealing to your audience and their interests. With 5 million followers, they're doing it right: Boards like Outdoor Fun and Take Me Fishing draw pinners to the brand based on lifestyle, activities, pursuits, etc.
3. Provide value. Give them more, and they'll keep coming back: Home improvement retailer Lowes goes above and beyond basic product info—they also provide step-by-step tutorials to show pinners how to use those products to complete DIY-projects.
4. Make it user-friendly. How many times have you searched for an item online but then struggled to find a retailer to make the purchase? Global marketplace Etsy simplifies the process, allowing you to search, pin and purchase products directly from your digital device.
5. Keep it subtle. Instead of leading with a product pitch, why not welcome your audience in like a good friend? Lauren Conrad does just that—her Pinterest page feels like that of any user, rather than that of a brand. With 1 million+ followers, she shares inspiration and introduces new ideas and products with fellow pinners without making a hard sell.
Which brands are most prominent on your Pinterest feed? I'd be interested in your feedback. firstname.lastname@example.com

I recently wrote a post about how the desktop is still immensely popular among IT workers despite the rise of the smartphone. InformationWeek has just published a lengthy new article that questions this trend in the future:
The writer believes that the desktop is about to face "death and then transfiguration" thanks to SaaS, tablet PCs, apps and cloud computing, among other developments. For example, why would a user continue to use Microsoft Office on their desktop when they can use Google Docs from anywhere?
There is not doubt that the cloud is coming, that SaaS has caught on, that our usage of technology is changing. Why would you generate your own electricity when you can buy it from a power company?
And yet people do.
Mainframes have not died but they're not a growth market either. PC usage will become more specialized and different over time - but it will be a long time and they'll never go away completely.
Curt Finch writes for a project management blog as well.

Teen Fights To Succeed In Rural S.C. Community
ROBERT SIEGEL, Host:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
MICHELE NORRIS, Host:
And I'm Michele Norris. This week, we've been talking about dropouts and how they're doing in this tough economy. The government has a name for schools that fail to graduate more than half their students: dropout factories. And they're not just a big city problem. Small, rural districts also have their fair share. So, we're going to South Carolina today. It has more dropout factories than any other state - 50 in all. NPR's Claudio Sanchez traveled to rural Oconee County and found that lots of teenagers there don't just think they need a high school diploma.
CLAUDIO SANCHEZ: Oconee County, South Carolina, sits in the far west fringes of the state, just a few miles from the Georgia border. This is where Nick Dunn was born and where his father died in a car accident one day before Christmas. Nick was 11.
NICK DUNN: When he died, everything went downhill. I didn't know my wrongs and rights. I didn't do anything. I was lazy. That's when my anger built. I was just Mr. Bad Person. I mean, I really didn't care about anything. Didn't do my work at all. Thought about dropping out.
SANCHEZ: Just like his older brothers and sister. They all dropped out before 10th grade. Nick, 16, is the youngest in the family. When he enrolled at Seneca Middle School, Nick was the kid with a hair-triggered temper - always angry, ready to clobber anybody who looked at him the wrong way. Muscular, built like a wrestler, Nick was chronically absent. When he wasn't in school, he was getting high. Drugs were easy to get.
DUNN: I ain't going to name them but I've done some. And I done some crimes and I faced a judge a couple of times. I don't really want to talk about that. But I had a lot of problems going on.
SANCHEZ: This year, Nick was suspended twice for throwing a chair at another student and disrespecting teachers at Seneca High. Everybody in town seemed to hear about it, says Nick. In a community this small, he says, people know who the bad kids are - the ones who just don't fit in at school.
DUNN: I know many friends that dropped out. Some stay home, do drugs. Some don't even live with their parents. Some moved out, left, ran away.
SANCHEZ: Oconee County school officials admit they don't know exactly how many kids simply disappear. But every year, Al Leroy, the principal at Seneca Middle School, gets a list with the names of in-coming seventh graders with a history of truancy and bad behavior. Leroy says Nick arrived with an especially tough group.
AL LEROY: These young men were extremely angry, very disrespectful. They were absent a lot and it was hard to track them. We didn't know exactly where they were.
SANCHEZ: Leroy says these kids had no interest in school. They think they'll do just fine. You see, says Leroy, for a long time in this old railroad town, dropping out of school didn't keep people from finding a job in the local textile mills or in farming. These jobs were passed from one generation to the next, so it was no big deal if you didn't have a high school diploma.
LEROY: The same argument is still pervasive in our school community: Well, my parents dropped out, they turned out OK. Our community struggles with that a good bit.
SANCHEZ: South Carolina ranks near the bottom nationally in high school graduation rates, in part because so many rural schools here have trouble hanging on to their students. In Oconee County, one out of four ninth graders doesn't graduate. Schools superintendent Mike Lucas, says it was a lot worse when schools were legally segregated not just by race but by class.
MIKE LUCAS: Even the white culture, there was a mill culture and there was a more affluent culture. And what's different now is we have to educate every child.
SANCHEZ: If not, says Lucas, one of three things happens:
LUCAS: They end up in prison. They end up on drugs or alcohol.
SANCHEZ: And they end up jobless. The unemployment rate in Oconee County is more than 10 percent. It's at least twice that for 18- to 24-year-olds. Lucas says kids are slowly realizing that without a high school diploma, their chances of getting a job that pays a living wage are zilch. But even if kids want to stay in school, some face huge hurdles at home. Nick didn't want me to visit his home. But his mother Deborah Gilmore Dunn said, you're welcome anytime.
SANCHEZ: As for Nick, Mrs. Dunn says he's a good son - stubborn but good. She says his troubles in middle school had little to do with problems at home and everything to do with uncaring teachers.
DEBORAH GILMORE DUNN: Nick would come home and he would tell me, he'd say, Momma, those teachers, they expect me to respect them and they don't respect me at all.
SANCHEZ: At Seneca Middle School, administrators say Mrs. Dunn means well but she's like many parents who, for whatever reason, haven't provided a stable home. Tammy Brock, one of Nick's former counselors says lots of kids like Nick are living in what she calls chaotic conditions.
TAMMY BROCK: When I look at these children, they don't have a clue what it means to be on a regular schedule at home. And that's the difficult part because they can't see beyond this next hour, much less into the future to see what's going to happen to them in the future. They are crippled by the fact that they don't have any support at home. So, if we don't do it who will do it?
SANCHEZ: If kids fall through the cracks, Brock says, it's because rural school systems like Oconee County have only a fraction of the resources that urban and suburban schools have. And when parents don't help, it's almost impossible to rescue these kids. Although in Nick's case, his mother's advice doesn't seem to matter to him. Despite her misgivings, Nick is fixated on becoming a professional, mixed martial arts fighter.
DUNN: You can come in my room real quick.
DUNN: Oh no.
DUNN: It's a mess but I don't care.
DUNN: Oh, come on.
SANCHEZ: During my visit to his home, Nick ignores his mother's objections and shows me his room piled high with all kinds of exercise gear.
DUNN: Boxing equipment, wrestling equipment, weight equipment, bench. I mean, got the whole nine yards.
SANCHEZ: Nick says if his father were alive, he would approve. But even if his mom is right and the martial arts thing doesn't work out...
DUNN: I got a plan C, D, E. I got welding; I got masonry, carpentry, maybe computers.
SANCHEZ: There's nothing I can't do, says Nick, with or without a high school diploma. Claudio Sanchez, NPR News.
NORRIS: For some kids, just getting to school is a major hurdle.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: In communities like East Baltimore, every child in your class is at risk. You don't know what they had to go through to come to school every day.
NORRIS: Intervening early to keep kids from dropping out, that is tomorrow on MORNING EDITION.
