Manager continues to save practice owner time and money
Dr. McKee looked internally for her first office manager and found Joyce Blair. Blair had started as a kennel attendant and had worked her way into a veterinary assistant job. She had previous management experience and was a people person. Blair has now been Southpointe's office manager for 15 years, handling hiring and firing of team members and tackling client concerns and team members' interpersonal issues.
Control freaks don't need to worry, Dr. McKee says. Hiring an office manager never meant she gave up control of the things she loved. She is implementing the practice's move to a paperless system, and organizes client handouts in the practice software to easily print for exam room use. She also still handles equipment purchases. "I had a hard time giving up management duties," she says. Blair has taken the onerous management duties from Dr. McKee and left her the gems.
It's not all roses, of course. Dr. McKee has to make tough decisions every day. But Blair is invaluable: managing staffing according to appointment schedule—not perceptions of busy-ness—and saving the practice labor dollars whenever she can. "If Michigan didn't have a law against nonveterinarian owners of clinics, I'd have brought Joyce in as a partner," Dr. McKee says. Dr. McKee's partner, Dr. Kim Cox, said she'd buy in only if Blair remained with the practice "forever."

RAID form factors shrink as market grows
By Alan Earls
The RAID market has continued to grow at an impressive rate, despite the relative lack of new developments in the technology itself. According to an IDC study, external RAID continues to account for more than 90% of the entire external disk storage systems market and is growing 8.9% each year. Most of that growth is in existing permutations of RAID, but there are a few new developments to keep an eye on.
"I don't think you'll find anything new and startling about RAID technology itself," said Jim Porter, president of Disk Trend and an independent analyst in the storage industry. Porter mentioned the appearance of small business and consumer RAID products as an exception.
Similarly, John Webster of Data Mobility Group opined that the largest trend was continued movement to commoditization and ever smaller form factors. In particular, Webster singled out Broadcom's Raidcore "RAID-on-a-chip" as an example of this trend.
And there are other developments in RAID of late. A few months ago, the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) announced the approval of the Common Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) Disk Data Format (DDF) architecture. Designed by the DDF Technical Working Group (TWG), the Common RAID DDF architecture aims to provide a standard method for storing RAID configuration information on physical disks, thus enabling interoperability between different RAID suppliers.
According to SNIA, the standard aims to help end users faced with the common task of migrating data from one RAID product to another. By standardizing configuration information in a common format, it is hoped the DDF architecture will improve RAID interoperability, ultimately providing increased choice and flexibility for end users.
Beyond that development, Webster sees one more industry development that violates the ho-hum, business-as-usual norm of the RAID world.
Out of the vault of discarded ideas, Adaptec has reinvigorated the seldom if ever used concept of RAID-6 (a RAID arrangement similar to RAID-5 but with a second parity scheme distributed across different drives to provide extremely high fault- and drive-failure tolerance).
"Depending on the exact configuration and how well it performs, other RAID schemes can leave end users vulnerable if they lose a second drive while they are in the midst of rebuilding from an earlier drive failure," Webster said. The Adaptec approach addresses this dual-drive failure problem, he said.
"Typically, this isn't an issue until you get into long rebuild times and lots of data -- then it can become a real issue," he added.

Maurice Jackson on Anthony Benezet: The founding father of Atlantic emancipation, on Mar 7.
The John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress presents Kluge Fellow, Maurice Jackson, in a talk titled "Anthony Benezet: The founding father of Atlantic emancipation" on Wednesday, March 7, 2007 at 12:00 p.m., in Room #119, Thomas Jefferson Building. This event is free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are required. Request ASL and ADA accommodations five days in advance at 202.707-6362 or <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Anthony Benezet (1713-1784), educator and abolitionist, was a Huguenot who, facing persecution in his native France, settled in Philadelphia with his family in 1731. There, he founded the African Free School and counted among his students the future Black Abolitionist leaders, Absalom Jones and James Forten. Benezet's many letters and pamphlets framed anti slavery arguments that influenced men such as Benjamin Franklin, Benjamin Rush and Patrick Henry, in America and in England, John Wesley, Granville Sharpe, Thomas Clarkson and Lord Wilberforce. In France, his writings translated by the Société des Amis des Noirs, had a profound effect on Mirabeau, Condorcet, and the Abbé Raynal. The African abolitionists, Olaudah Equiano, Ottobah Cugoano, both quoted from and praised his works highly. In his talk, Jackson will demonstrate how Benezet's ideas and tactics proved pivotal in igniting the Atlantic anti slavery crusade of the 18th century.

Next cycle, donate strategically--not emotionally
by desmoinesdem, Tue Apr 21, 2009 at 08:48:32 PM EDT
Last October, Representative Michele "Crazy as Steve King" Bachmann (MN-06) disgraced herself on "Hardball" and sparked a ridiculously successful fundraising drive for her Democratic opponent, El Tinklenberg. I was impressed by the enthusiasm and kicked in a few bucks for Tinklenberg myself, but I was dismayed to see bloggers continue to help him raise money even after he'd raised more than $750,000 and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had promised to spend an additional $1 million in his district. Within a few days of Bachmann's notorious comments, Tinklenberg had more money than he needed to run a solid media and GOTV campaign during the final two weeks before the election.
Since most Congressional races against incumbents are longshots, I wanted to see the netroots expand the field by raising $50,000 or more for a large number of unheralded challengers.
A fellow Iowa blogger sent me this piece from CQ Politics about how Tinklenberg's campaign committee was the largest donor to the DCCC in March, giving a total of $250,000:
You may recall that his Republican opponent was Rep. Michele Bachmann, whose mid-October comment that Obama "may have anti-American views" angered Democrats nationwide and spawned an avalanche of contributions to Tinklenberg in the waning days of a campaign that Bachmann won by 46 percent to 43 percent, with a third-party candidate taking 10 percent.
Apparently the money was coming in too fast for Tinklenberg to spend completely: he raised $3 million for his campaign, of which $1.9 million came in after October 15, and had $453,000 in leftover campaign funds at the end of 2008 and $184,000 at the end of March.
I'm not saying it wasn't worth getting behind Tinklenberg. Bachmann is among the worst Republicans in Congress, and this district rightly seemed winnable. However, the netroots clearly funneled way more money to Tinklenberg than he could spend effectively.
What if a million of the dollars we sent to the MN-06 race had been spread around 15 or 20 other districts? A bunch of the candidates I wanted to support as part of an expanded field got blown out by large margins, but an extra $50,000 could have made the difference for Josh Segall in AL-03, or for several candidates who weren't on my radar, such as Bill Hedrick in CA-44.
The netroots rally for Tinklenberg started out as a good cause but took on a momentum of its own. It didn't help that Tinklenberg sent out fundraising e-mails to his new donors every day or two during the home stretch, even after he had more than enough money to close out the campaign.
Maybe the majority of blog readers who gave $10 or $20 or $50 to Tinklenberg wouldn't have given to some other longshot Congressional challenger. Maybe people need an emotional trigger before they are willing to open their wallets. But in future election cycles, we need to be smarter about how we focus our energy and our fundraising efforts during the final weeks of a campaign. There's no shortage of wingnuts worth targeting. Also, a fair number of good incumbent Democrats will probably need our help in 2010, depending on how the economy looks 18 months from now.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to raise money effectively during the next cycle would be welcome in this thread.

Fast Jacket: Janko Tipsarevic Lays Down Solid Showing at Sony Ericsson Open, Reaches Last 16 in New Eyewear
It's safe to say that Janko Tipsarevic is pumped on his new eyewear. Oakley's Global Tennis Star took to the court at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami these past couple weeks, clawing his way into the "Last 16" with solid wins over Robin Haase (6-4, 7-6), Marin Cilic (6-3, 7-6) and Philipp Petzschner (6-3, 6-3) before falling in the fourth round to formidable Frenchman Gilles Simon. His impressive showing was highlighted even more with the fact that he's one of Oakley's lucky few elite athletes that are putting O's brand new performance eyewear, the Fast Jacket™, into full action during major competition.

The Joplin Globe
Two teams trying to recover from difficult losses will clash today when Northeastern Oklahoma A&M visits Trinity Valley Community College in junior college football.
Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. at Bruce Field in Athens, Texas.
No. 13-ranked NEO, 4-1 overall, lost its last game 65-59 in double overtime in another Southwest Junior College Football Conference contest, at Tyler.
The Golden Norsemen took another loss when three defensive players, including two starters, were dismissed from the team. They were charged with burglary, first-degree robbery and kidnapping following an incident in Miami.
Trinity Valley, a bowl qualifier last season, is 2-4 overall and 0-3 in the SWJCFC. The Cardinals saw a 10-point lead disappear during a 21-10 loss to Navarro last Saturday.
"While they have the best defense in the league, their offense has struggled to put points on the board consistently," said NEO coach Dale Patterson.
NEO is still working to build its running game, a goal which was not met last week despite 156 yards on 32 carries. The Norse did not score a running touchdown.
The Norse lost defensive end Jaiari Dunaway, linebacker Deion Fipps and defensive tackle Chris Carter following their arrests earlier this week. Expected replacements are sophomore De'angelo Jennings, redshirt freshman Zach Maynard and sophomore George Rogers.

Dundee kitesurfer killed at Lincoln City
Jul 4, 2014 | 1 Comment
News-Register Staff
LINCOLN CITY — Wyle "Dale" Johnson, 49, of Dundee, has been identified by the Oregon State Police as the kitesurfer who died about 5 p.m. Thursday in the ocean off the beach at Roads End Recreation Site, located on the east end of Lincoln City.
Johnson was a member of Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue. He was a lieutenant at Station 35 in King City.
"Fellow firefighters said Dale loved his crew, his job and was someone who was passionate about everything he did — be it work or play," Tualatin Valley spokesperson Cassandra Ulven said. "He was an avid kitesurfer and enjoyed his time on the water."
OSP was notified that an adult male was being transported to Samaratin North Lincoln Hospital in Lincoln City after being found by a friend unresponsive in the water while kitesurfing. CPR was administered on the beach by the friend and fire personnel, but Johnson was pronounced dead at the hospital.
In addition to OSP, North Lincoln Fire & Rescue, Pac West ambulance and Lincoln City police also responded.
Johnson started his career as a volunteer firefighter in Jackson County, Oregon, according to a release issued by Tualatin Valley. In 1995, he joined the agency as a firefighter/paramedic, and in 2006, was promoted to lieutenant.
Since 2011, Johnson was assigned to the King City station.
"Dale Johnson was a good firefighter, a good lieutenant and a good man," Tualatin Valley Chief Mike Duyck said. "The men and women at TVF&R will miss him, and our hearts go out to his family."

MD/MBA (Health Organization Management)HOM Program | Courses | Accreditation | Requirements for Entrance | To Apply | Program Contacts
The health care system is changing rapidly. Managed care and other reforms have created a need for physicians with a greater knowledge of business. To address this need, Texas Tech has initiated a unique program which offers a joint MD/MBA (HOM) degree.
In this joint degree program, the student will receive both MD and MBA degrees within the four years of medical school. Superior academic training and challenging real world experience have placed Texas Tech University's HOM Program among the nation's premier health care management programs. As one of the few MBA programs aligned with a School of Medicine, the HOM Program draws upon the resources and expertise of both the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration and School of Medicine. The MBA (HOM) course of study prepares students for managerial positions in the health care industry, with special emphasis on medical groups and ambulatory care settings. Texas Tech's HOM Program offers a unique view of physicians and administrators working together, which is not seen at other programs.
MBA (HOM) Course Description
Students will complete the 48 hour MBA (HOM) program in two years. Students attend classes in the HOM program throughout the first two years of medical school, including during the summers before and after the first year of the medical school curriculum. Areas of study include accounting, management strategy, business decision-making skills and methods, business information systems, as well as other core skills in the business curriculum. For a broader knowledge of the organizational context in which health care is provided, students will complete a seven-course concentration in Health Organization Management as part of the program.back to top
Health Organization Management Concentration
The HOM concentration is a lock-step program which requires some of the HOM core courses to be taken in sequence. There are five HOM-specific courses including:

I wanted to take a moment today to clarify something about my case. Something I neglected to mention. I wanted to mention the true victims of this fraud. I want to spend a moment telling you about my Patients. I want to tell you both how much they meant to me and how deeply wounded I am as their Doctor to no longer be able to reach out my hand and offer hope. I can't express in words how life giving it was to be a Therapist and Evaluator. Every day of my life since departing my field I have wondered how they faired. I wondered if anything or anyone came along and gave them the tools they needed to move forward with their lives. I wondered if anybody stopped to make sure they were being cared for. I sat at home and wondered. I said goodbye to psychology in 2009. I wanted to try to reach people with my words. I chose writing and have nine bestselling Kindle books. But, I always wondered what might have been. I left my field reluctantly. I left because I felt like my voice had been silenced. I felt like I could never escape the clutches of my graduate school and the insurmountable debt it left me in. I thought the only way I could ever hope to reach out to help those in need was through my writing. I thought maybe I could help that way instead. I am happy to report success as I have sold thousands of books (3,284 last year). But, I always dreamed of what might have been had I stayed. I began therapy in 2007 and go once a week. I have tried to practice what I preached to those in pain. And, I am happy to report success. I have moved on to other ventures. I have been developing a Carcinoid cancer charity since 2011. I have posted 360 videos to raise awareness for this rare cancer which my Aunt suffers from. I plan on transitioning to this endeavor permanently. But, I always wondered what might have been had I stayed. I wondered about them. My Patients. And, to find out the school I trusted to guide me to helping those people in pain was a fraud is the most shameful, humiliating, and painful revelation as one could ever imagine. I want to tell you that no matter what happens with this case, I will never let them have the joy, hope, and promise I tried my best to impart to those under my care. They may hide behind clauses and laws but they can never touch that part of me. They may ruin me financially and shame me to my colleagues. But, at least, I will retain that joy from reaching out with hope to those in need. Respectfully, ArgosyWhistleBlower

I-4 or bust

I-4 is an interesting road. Connecting Daytona, Orlando and Tampa, it slices the nub of South Florida right off the map, it provides a vast array of landmarks – strange kitschy theme parks, vasectomy billboards, and rest stop oasis after oasis. It is also fertile ground for voters and an area candidates target every election cycle.

TAHLEQUAH — The 31st annual Home for the Holidays Tour presented by Tahlequah Branch of American Association of University Women is set for Sunday.
The tour includes a number of beautiful homes, among them the home of Shannon and Patti Buhl at 503 Kingston Place.
"The home construction was finished early last spring and we moved in May," Patti Buhl said in a media release. "Our goal when building the home was to create an open floor plan throughout."
The exterior of the home is a traditional red brick. The one-story home has stone accents complementing the Mountain View setting.
"We came and walked out here almost every day during the construction process," Shannon Buhl said. "We wanted to be a part of the community, and the neighborhood is welcoming."
The interior of the home is accented with various Native American art pieces complementing the natural and outdoor feel of the home. The entryway, with a ceiling 12 feet high and arched doorways, is where the first of four Christmas trees are showcased throughout the home. The home features a fireplace, a spacious back porch, and a three-car garage.
"We have no specific theme for the holiday decor," said Patti Buhl. "Each tree is color themed and the one located in the living room was Pottery Barn inspired."
The study, with custom textured walls and custom crown molding, has a pink and green theme tree, giving off a very fun and playful vibe.
Through the kitchen past the butler's pantry, showcasing a "Twas the Night Before Christmas" china set, is the open floor leading to the living room.
Magnificent archways separate the kitchen and living room, which has an outdoor themed tree as well as custom built-in cabinets featuring more unique artwork.
"I have always been a participant of touring the homes each year with my sister," Patti Buhl said. "I have always wanted to participate, and when we moved out here it was the perfect opportunity to showcase our home."
Off to the side of the living room and kitchen is a breakfast nook, where garland and a little Christmas village will be displayed. The fourth tree showcased on the tour is in the master suite. The tree is upside down, giving the suite a contemporary look.
"We used the upside-down tree as our main tree one year, but for our son it was too unconventional," Shannon Buhl said.
Past the master suite is the master bath, which will be decorated, and showcasing a luxurious size shower along with double wash stations. Upon exiting the master suite, all trees from the living room to the entryway to the study can be viewed, showing off the open floor plan. The last stop on the tour is the back porch. It will be decorated in Christmas garland and may have a tree as well.
"It has been a lot of planning," said Patti Buhl. "We have also received a tremendous amount of help from our friends and neighbors."
Shannon Buhl is the marshal of the Cherokee Nation Marshal Service, and Patti Buhl is the director of public safety for campus police at Northeastern State University.
Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door. Advance tickets are available at Vintage on Main, Kate Miller Optometry, Meigs Jewelers, Oasis Health Foods, TTCU, Donna's Flower Designs and Sequoyah Institute. Tickets can be purchased at any tour stop or advance ticket site on the day of the tour.
The homes exhibited on the 2012 tour are those of Dr. Steve and Penny Turner, 526 Seminary Ave.; Stephen and Cami Highers, 726 Meadows Circle; Shannon and Patti Buhl, 505 Kingston Place; Cody and Kim Parker, 513 Kingston Place; Cordelia Dixon with Blue Fern Bed and Breakfast, 224 Chickasaw St.; Shaun Shepherd, 645 Kingston Place and 17636 Pecan Creek Circle; and Vintage on Main, 104 N. Muskogee Ave.
Vintage on Main will be the tour's reception site. The Turners' home will have a Goodie Shoppe, with homemade baked goods available for purchase. The 2012 AAUW ornaments, featuring Bagley Hall, will be on sale for $12.50.
All tour proceeds will go to AAUW leadership programs, its legal advocacy fund and the AAUW Educational Opportunities Fund, which provides funding to women for graduate education, community action grants and research grants.
Information: Amber Cowan, (918) 458-2075.

The Valdosta Daily Times
Valentine's Day is upon us, as florists, jewelry stores and the like prepare for the annual stampede that will last until they close their doors Thursday evening. Men and women alike buy special gifts for their loved ones on this day, and romantic evenings or weekends with that special someone will follow.
If you find yourself out and about on Thursday this week, and you need to pick up a little something sweet to treat yourself or someone special, inexpensive treats can be found at The Valdosta Daily Times front office. Each year, Times' staffers coordinate a special bake sale to benefit our Newspapers in Education program. With sponsoring businesses at a low point this year, the program, which provides newspapers free of charge to classrooms as a teaching tool, needs to raise a substantial amount of money in order to continue.
Times' staff make all of the homemade treats, and we have some excellent bakers here, so it will be well worth your time to come. Small bags of cookies, cupcakes, etc. are usually less than a dollar, and there will be a delightful array to choose from. It's our opportunity to help raise money for one of our favorite programs, and it also gives us a chance to show off our culinary skills at the same time.
Come down to the VDT on the corner of Troup and Hill on Thursday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., buy some sweets, contribute to a worthy cause, and indulge yourselve for the day!
Business Roundup
The new traffic signal on St. Augustine beside Starbucks on the north side and Denny's on the south side will go "live" on Tuesday this week, so if you are coming through that area, remember that you will need to watch for the light. Hopefully, not only will it relieve congestion out of the Drury Inn and the Olive Garden, it will also be able to give those coming in and out of Clubhouse Drive a few extra seconds to get in and out of that road as well.
Please read the Focus On feature today on Small Cakes. The new cupcakery bakery is located next to Sureste on N. Oak St. and has been doing great business since they opened. Great cupcakes and other small cakes that you have to try!
Envy in the Valdosta Mall has moved to its new location near the center court next to GNC, and I understand they've really expanded in their new space.
Elkins Construction Inc. is preparing to open a new office in Valdosta on Canterbury Dr. off Baytree Road in March.
Valdosta Family Medicine is advertising that their popular walk-in clinic that has been open on Saturdays for several years is now also open on Sunday afternoons from 1 to 4 p.m.
I still haven't heard a final opening date yet for Publix, but employees are being trained and the interior work is being done now so it shouldn't be too much longer.
The Chick fil A in the Valdosta Mall is celebrating its 30th anniversary next Saturday, Feb. 16, with a variety of games and prizes throughout the day and even an appearance from the Eat Mor Chikin cow. I didn't realize that they were one of the original tenants at the mall, which opened in 1983.
That's it for this week, but if there's something I missed, please let me know!

About Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Vice City is a prequel to the preceding game in the series, GTA III (which takes place in 2001). The game is set in fictional Vice City, which is based on Miami, Florida. The game's look, particularly the clothing and vehicles, reflect (and sometimes gently parody) its 1986 setting (with the packaging and artwork in particular owing a great debt to 1980s artist Patrick Nagel). In contrast to the gritty urbanism of Grand Theft Auto III's Liberty City, Vice City appears (mostly) clean and upscale, with golden beaches, waving palm trees, and vivid purple sunsets.

Leader Of Egyptian Unions To Wisconsin Protesters: We Stand With You As You Stood With UsNow, as tens of thousands of union members and other Wisconsin residents are taking to the streets to protest against Gov. Scott Walker's (R) attempt to abolish collective bargaining rights for most public workers, a leader of Egypt's largest umbrella group of independent labor unions is praising the Wisconsin movement. In a videotaped statement, Kamal Abbas, the General Coordinator of the Centre for Trade Unions and Workers Services, tells the Wisconsin protesters, "We stand with you as you stood with us." He says "no one believed" that the revolution against the Mubarak regime would succeed, yet they were able to bring the dictator down within 18 days. He encourages demonstrators to stay strong, saying, "Don't give up on your rights. Victory always belongs to the people who stand firm and demand their just rights".Last week, Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) said there are "similarities" between the movements in Egypt and Wisconsin, in that "that people are wanting to be heard, and they are taking direct action." Additionally, Ian's on State Street, a pizza place near the Wisconsin capitol building, has been taking orders from Egypt for Wisconsin activists. While the actions that Walker and Mubarak are taking are far from directly analogous, many demonstrators have taken to drawing satirical comparisons. Following Walker's threat to call in the National Guard to deal with a labor strike, activists launched the site Mini Mubarak, humorously comparing the governor's threat to the actions of the now-resigned Egyptian autocrat.

One person is dead following a crash in south Wichita.
The crash happened at about 11:20 Thursday night near the intersection of Bayley and St. Francis.
Sedgwick County Sheriff's officials say deputies tried to stop a car after it failed to dim its lights near the intersection of Harry and Hydraulic. When the vehicle failed to stop deputies began a short chase, lasting only about thirty seconds.
The driver sped into a neighborhood and officials called off the pursuit for safety reasons. However, they did continue looking for the vehicle in the area. That's when witnesses reported seeing the car heading to Bayley and St. Francis.
When police arrived in that area they found the driver had crashed his car and was pronounced dead at the scene. No other cars were involved in the accident.
The Kansas Highway Patrol is now investigating the crash, which is a standard procedure.
The driver has been identified as 36-year-old Stephen Long of Wichita.

Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt knows growing pains will come with the territory protected by his young starting cornerbacks.
That was on display last Sunday in the Bills' loss to the New York Jets in the season opener. Wannstedt said the Jets had prepared some combinations and plays rookie Stephon Gilmore and to a lesser extent second-year man Aaron Williams had yet to see.
"It's going to be a little bit of a learning on the move type of deal," Wannstedt said today, before adding, "there was nothing that happened in the game that isn't easily corrected."
So how do they go about that?
"As they become more confident [they] will play a little bit faster. That was probably the biggest thing as I look back on it. We were reacting to what they were doing rather than being aggressive enough," Wannstedt said.
That was especially evident at cornerback. So evident, in fact, that General Manager Buddy Nix said on his weekly WGR radio show that "we were so soft on the corners for some reason and obviously we've got to correct that."
Wannstedt is confident that will happen Sunday.
"We'll play majority press. It depends on the coverage and the sets and so forth. We'll mix it up on them, but we're more of a press team than not," he said. "How aggressive we are with the press has a lot to do with confidence.
"We had a great week of practice. I think the guys will bounce back and I'm excited to go out and see us play."

Program CPU Priority via list?
I'm not really sure what phrases to use for this so bare with me here.
Going very basic, I have a computer I put together from spare parts as a household server, it stays on 24/7 and does all the back end stuff for everything else I have.
One of the main things that I use it for is video surveillance using a program called iSpy. It needs a minimum of the CPU to run efficiently enough for motion detection and such. On this computer it comes to around 35% of the CPU.
Instead of booting up a more powerful PC to encode some blu-rays I have I figured I'd just use the server since its not maxed out anyway. The problem is even if I set in the task manager to give iSpy Highest Priority and anything else normal or lower the tasks for encoding will take up what it wants, leaving less than 10% for iSpy which is not enough for it to do what it needs to do.
What I need, and want to do, is something more like a list of what gets first dibs on the CPU. Something more like where the first on the list gets all it needs then the second takes what it needs of whats left and so on. That way I can always put the encodes lower on the list and it will take up lets say, in this case, 65% of the CPU until something above it needs more.
I've tried searching on Google for anything, but the only thing I come up with is changing CPU Priority through the task manager which won't give iSpy enough for it to run.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here, not sure if it's sound advice. A similar situation happened to me, although for different reasons. I noticed you talking about the CPU, but what about the memory?
For me and it may help you too, I needed to add more memory. I was told that because there wasn't enough memory, the pagefile was bigger and working the CPU more. Keeping it short and simple I've always made sure I had enough memory so I wouldn't have that issue again. Knock on wood, only once that happened. Maybe the explanation I got was wrong. Not having that memory issue again, I never looked into it. I do know that it helped and everything ran smoothly.
A potential option is to run a virtual machine on the server, and sandbox the video surveillance in it. that will carve out the resources it needs and manage it fairly aggressively.
But, I'd agree on the RAM thing. Encoding is both memory and CPU (or GPU) intensive. If you plan on doing a lot of encoding, it might be worthwhile getting a video card that will accelerate the task. Been out of that area too long though - nothing to recommend explicity.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. - Leonardo da Vinci

Wellesley, Mass. - October 2, 2010 - The Wellesley College soccer team picked up a dramatic 1-0 victory over conference-rival Springfield in double overtime in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) matchup.
First-year Lena Cardoso netted the game winner for Wellesley, improving the team to 4-4-1 (2-0-1 NEWMAC) on the year, while Springfield's ledger is set to 6-4 (2-1 NEWMAC).
Cardoso's goal was set up by an indirect started by Megan Turchi. Turchi made the initial pass to Kara Lungmus who tapped the ball to Cardoso for the golden goal. The score was the second of the season for Cardoso.
Springfield held a 7-2 advantage in shots in the first half, but five saves from Wellesley's Sarah Gray kept the game scoreless.
The Pride had its best chance to score early in the second when a hard shot off the foot of Springfield's Ashley McFarlane was saved by Gray to preserve the tie. Wellesley also had a chance to win it in regulation, but a 75th-minute attempt from Cardoso hit the cross bar.
The Blue took both shots in the first overtime, before connecting on the game-winner, just 1:12 into the second extra period.
Gray finished the game with 10 saves, earning the shutout victory for the Blue. In goal for Springfield, Erin Greenstein made nine saves.
Both teams continue their NEWMAC slate on Tuesday. Wellesley travels to Wheaton for a 4:00pm game, while Springfield hosts Smith at 7:00pm.

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, Wash. – Friday marked the official ground breaking as Sound Transit begins building its next extension north, from the University of Washington to the Northgate neighborhood in Seattle.
Trains should be running to Northgate by 2021. But just two years after that in 2023, trains should be running all the way to Lynnwood.
2023 may seem like a long time away, and at 11 years, it is. But Bob and Bea Martin of Mountlake Terrace and a lot of their neighbors along the west side of I-5 are already living with the potential consequences.
"I'm worried about losing my home," said Bob Martin, who purchased a house along with a large yard about 15 years ago. He and his wife Bea were at home earlier this month when they spied a contractor working for Sound Transit, making marks on their street with a spray can and photographing the neighborhood.
"I asked him, 'Why are you taking all these pictures?'" said Bea.
She said the man didn't tell her a lot, but did present her with a Project Alert notifying residents along the Lynnwood extension that they might "notice project staff conducting field observation and testing in neighborhoods along the Interstate 5 corridor."
Sound Transit said their goal is to keep the trains' right-of-way on the current Washington State Department of Transportation right-of-way as much as possible. But in some cases, they may have to buy portions or entire plots of private property. For the Martins, that means their neighborhood could become a right-of-way for trains, or a station and park and ride lot, near the major cross street of 220th and I-5.
Yet the neighborhood may stay just the way it is. The problem is not knowing what's going to happen.
"I'm in limbo," said Bob.
"All of these are these are possibilities. Nothing is cast in stone," said Matt Shelden, Light Rail development manager for the North Corridor.
He said around late next summer, the agency should have a pretty good idea which path it is going down. The photographs, noise tests and other research going on now is all part of the environmental impact statement. A draft of that statement should be released by the middle of next year.
But there are no guarantees anybody is definitely on or off the list until the final engineering work is about 60% complete, said Shelden. "That will likely be in the 2016, '17 timeframe."
Sound Transit has purchased some private property to build their projects since the beginning. Shelden said most of the time an amicable agreement on the price of the property is reached between the owners and Sound Transit without having to resort to condemnation.
"This is my retirement home," said Martin, who purchased the property shortly after retiring from the Navy.

Continuing a years-long discussion about decentralizing the Monroe County School District administration from Key West, the School Board on Tuesday got a first look at a long-term facilities plan analysis from consultant Fran Pickett.
Pickett, a former Brevard County School Board member, works as a facilities planning consultant for school systems. Her hour-long presentation at Coral Shores High School focused on "ancillary facilities not used for instructional purposes."
The vast majority of ancillary space -- maintenance buildings, the administrative office and vacant buildings is in Key West. They're the A.J. Henriquez Administrative Building on Trumbo Road, part of Glynn Archer Elementary School, the Ruth Hargrove Building, the old May Sands School and the Reynolds School.
"This is the beginning of an ongoing evaluation we're doing," Superintendent Mark Porter told the board, asking for "good conversation about our look ahead and what we might need."
The district's Informational Technology Department has already moved from downtown Key West and is now housed at the new Horace O'Bryant Middle School.
The timing of the facilities study is based on the June 30 deadline for the district's five-year educational plant survey, a capital analysis submitted twice a decade to the Florida Department of Education for oversight purposes.
Pickett asked board members to consider "who needs to be close to whom," prompting board member Ed Davidson, a proponent of spreading out administrators, to add, "Right now the only people that can work for the district are who live in Key West or close to it."
He said that prevents the district from tapping a "vast" talent pool outside Key West.
The last time decentralization came up was under former Superintendent Jesus Jara, Porter's predecessor. Jara went so far as to work out of an office in Marathon High School twice a week.
In what she called an "out-of-the-box solution," Pickett threw out a scenario that would rebuild Gerald Adams Elementary on Stock Island. "Then you could carve out part of it to make it district administration," constructing a space at Gerald Adams to replace the Trumbo building.
"If you're going to spend money on a building and you'd rather it be a school," she said, "what if when you do that school you also provide for ancillary?"
"It moves district administration out of Old Key West but still pretty much keeps it in Key West," Pickett said.
The board has long looked at getting rid of its prime Trumbo waterfront site, selling it to private developers, but that's not gone far.
Board member John Dick stressed that the discussion is "very preliminary. We need a lot more information before we can make any kind of plan."
Not including charter schools, in terms of instruction space, the district has five Lower Keys schools servicing 4,004 students in 799,992 square feet. Between Sugarloaf and Marathon there are two schools for 1,172 students covering 324,352 square feet. There are three Upper Keys schools with 2,092 students on 507,772 square feet.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
Jasmin Boothe, age 6, was diagnosed with leukemia in November 2012. Shortly after, her mother, Heidi Boothe, lost her job.
Heidi's best friend, Sara Goodwin, was not content to sit by as the Boothe family suffered.
"Heidi's having a pretty rough time," Goodwin said. "She's trying to be very strong for her daughter. Jasmin's had a lot of complications. She's got her hands full."
Goodwin quickly got to work and picked up the phone in an attempt to organize a benefit for Jasmin.
Bringing together live music, a silent auction and raffle drawings, Goodwin organized the Jammin' for Jasmin benefit concert, set for 5 to 11 p.m. Sunday at JB's Piano Bar.
"(Jasmin is) really excited," Goodwin said. "She's had a couple of benefits up in Kansas City for her. She was obviously very taken back by it. She sends me messages all the time that I'm amazing. And I was like, ÔI'm not amazing, I'm just a good friend.' I think she would do the same thing for me."
The concert will feature performances by local artists including 2 Steps Back, Conway Jackson, Bradleys, One Night Stand and Missouri Coalition.
"Most of the bands just hopped right on," Goodwin said. "I had an overwhelming response from bands actually. I only have six hours, and I didn't want the majority of it running three minutes before breaking down and setting up again."
The benefit will also feature a photo booth provided by Say Cheez, an organization owned by a family whose 33-year-old son is also battling cancer. The booth is provided free of charge, though participants are encouraged to leave donations.
Goodwin said Jasmin may be in attendance, but a string of further medical complications may prevent her from going.
"She's kind of bummed out that she might not be able to

[Editor's Note: The following article was submitted to Patch by Jeffrey Gonzalez and was also published in the College of San Mateo's student newspaper The San Matean.]
The San Mateo Community College District has chosen two Colorado organizations as finalists in the bidding process of its deficit running television station KCSM-TV.
No date has been set because the district is still in the process of negotiating with the potential buyers.
"We'll know who we sell to when we finalize all the information," said Marilyn Lawrence, KCSM General Manager.
Bidders were chosen and eliminated on their ability to meet FCC regulations to acquire the license to buy a local station such as KCSM-TV.
Noncommercial stations must be bought by non-profit organizations, so bidders had to have the appropriate tax paperwork to qualify. Buyers must also meet local education and programming regulations. Bidders were also judged on their financial capabilities to see if they had enough money for proper licensing and operation.
The two finalists are FM Media and San Mateo Community Television Corp., both groups from Colorado.
The Locus Point Networks and KAXT were two bidders that were turned down.
"We questioned whether they were nonprofit organizations," said Lawrence.
KMPT-TV, Channel 32 in San Francisco, was turned down because they had very little upfront money and wouldn't get a broadcasting license until 2013, said Lawrence.
Of the three bidders who met FCC requirements, two were chosen to undergo further review.
To buy a local station, the media group who is trying to make the purchase has to set up a locally based organization to comply with FCC regulation.
Many of the bids were submitted by entities created by bigger corporations specifically to bid on local stations outside of their jurisdiction.
Media Alliance, a group that follows the sale of community media outlets, filed a public information request to make the list of bidders public.
"There was a list of bidders, but we don't know who's who," said Executive Director of Media Alliance Tracy Rosenberg.
DayStar Television, a Christian broadcasting network submitted a bid under the name Community Educators TV of Orange County; but they did not make the cut.
FM Media, one of the two finalists, is part of Public Media Center/Public Radio Capital. Historically it has been a license broker. They arrange the buying and selling of stations to conglomerates –– such as National Public Radio, for expansion.
The concern of lost diversity in local broadcasting that Media Alliance expressed
about those stations buying KCSM-TV when the bidding process began still exists, said Rosenberg.
San Mateo Community Television Corporation is a new local base for Independent Public Media, an organization established to "promote progressive social change," according to the IPM website.
The sale of KCSM-TV includes the lease for Sutro Tower transmitter and the FCC license associated with the station. The decision to sell the station has been made by the district board over years of study and the station's inability to eliminate its deficit.

HOLLY SPRINGS — Residents gave the Holly Springs Town Council a vote of confidence on Election Day.
Incumbent Mayor Dick Sears garnered 67 percent of the vote to defeat challenger Vinnie DeBenedetto, a former councilman.
Council incumbents Jimmy Cobb and Linda Hunt Williams also kept their seats. Hank Dickson, a former councilman who campaigned with the incumbents, beat out seven other candidates for the third open seat on the five-member council.
The North Main Athletic Complex emerged as a big issue in the race. Some challengers criticized the council's decision to spend $5.5 million on a baseball stadium; others said they liked the project but claimed that town leaders didn't communicate well enough with nearby property owners.
Cobb, Williams and Dickson said the complex would attract tourism by hosting a collegiate summer league baseball team, concerts and other community events. They also said the town is generally in favor of more parks and recreation projects.
"The people who voted like the direction we're heading in," Cobb said Tuesday night. "Most people agree that we've been pretty open (about plans for the complex)."
Meanwhile, DeBenedetto had criticized the town's financial health in his bid for mayor. Sears has claimed the town has a healthy amount of debt.
Two years ago, Holly Springs voters approved a bond package worth up to $20 million for parks and recreation projects.
On Tuesday, some voters said they didn't see town debt as a major issue.
"We're growing in a smart, responsible way. I don't see where Mayor Sears or the council have done anything wrong," said Bonnie Kazee.
Brad Stocum, who has lived in Holly Springs for nine years, said he believed Sears always had clear, reasonable answers to questions about town leaders' decision-making.
"We're growing, but keeping the family atmosphere," Stocum said. "So I believe Mr. Sears when he says we can repay our debts."
Sears credited his win to the sometimes-hostile tone the mayoral race had taken.
"People have learned that negative campaigning to this extent doesn't work in Holly Springs," Sears said. "I used facts versus innuendo, and I think people appreciated that."

Registration for Fall 2014 classes will open 9:30 am Alaska Time, Wed. August 20.
Click the link below to go to the new online registration site.
The link will open a new window. Keep this window open to refer to the instructions below for help in navigating the new registration site.
Printable Hints & Step-By-Step Instructions
Each document is 2 pages, in pdf format.
You must be a current member in order to register online.
Contact the OLLI office to purchase your 2014 membership at least a day before you plan to register for classes.
Regular annual membership in UAF-OLLI costs $35 per person. This is your most economical choice if you plan to take fewer than 10 OLLI courses in calendar year 2014 (including both spring and fall). You will pay $15 for each class you take.
Unlimited membership combines membership ($35) with unlimited classes for calendar year 2014 ($150), for a total cost of $185. This is your most economical choice if you plan to take more than 10 OLLI courses in calendar year 2014.
We outgrew our old registration system, which required OLLI staff to manually enter every individual class registration.
In our new system, class placement will be first-come, first-served. You'll know right away whether you got into the classes you wanted, and you can choose whether or not to join a waitlist for classes that are full.
We are looking forward to offering an online credit card payment option beginning in March or April 2014. Unfortunately, we will not have online payment by credit card available in February for our Spring 2014 registration. We apologize for the inconvenience. So, for now:
Select the "Pay Later" option when you register online.
ProClass is not able to remove references to credit cards from their site. If you don't click "Pay Later" it is possible to reach a screen that gives you spaces to enter your credit card information. If you do so, your card will NOT be charged. The credit card information you enter will be secure -- OLLI staff won't even be able to access it. You'll still need to either call the OLLI office with your credit card information or mail us a check.
Navigating the new OLLI ProClass Website: Searching for classes and registering
Searching for Classes
You can browse the course offerings without being logged in, but you'll need to log in when you actually register.
You must pick a "semester" from the drop-down menu. "2014 Spring" has this spring's courses; "2014 Excursions" has the summer excursions. Choosing one "Topic" from the drop-down list will narrow your search. You can also try choosing an "Instructor". If you choose BOTH a topic and an instructor, it will look for a course that is labeled with that topic AND is taught by that instructor.
We only have "Courses," so leave the default mark in that space. If you try clicking "Bundles" you won't get any results.
Once you've selected your search parameters using one or more of the drop-down menus, click the "Search" button.
Search Results
Below is a snippet of what you'll see after you click the "Search" button. You can click on the blue underlined title of the class to see more details.
NOTE: ProClass is based in Arizona, and their "Registration opens" times are reported in Arizona time. 11:30 am Arizona time is 9:30 am Alaska time on Feb. 12.
Course Detail
Below is a Course Detail page, reached by clicking on the title of the course in the previous screen. There is no button to click to register because this screen shot was taken before online registration opened for this course.
Click on "Search" in the gray menu bar at the top to return to the search page. ("Home" takes you to the home page of OLLI's regular UAF website, not the registration page.)
Registration available/ Waitlist
Sample Class 1 is full. To add yourself to the waitlist, you would click the blue underlined "Wait List" beside the green circle with white arrow in it.
Sample Class 2 has space available. To register, you'd click the blue underlined "Register" by the green circle with the white arrow in it.
Log In to Register
If you haven't logged in yet and you clicked "register" or "wait list," this login screen will come up. If you know your username and password, enter them in the spaces given.
Click "Forgot your password?" if you think you might have an account, but you don't know your username or password. It will take you to a screen where you'll type in your email address, and the system will send your username and password to that email address. If there is no account with that email address, a message will appear telling you so, and you can go on to create a new account.
IMPORTANT: You must be a member to register for Spring 2014 courses, so you need to contact the OLLI office to purchase your membership. The online credit card payment option is not functioning yet, so you can't purchase a membership online.
The sample classes in the "SAMPLE" semester do not require membership, so you can practice registration using those classes whether or not you are a 2014 member yet.
Select Students
After you click "Register," you'll see this screen. Click in the box beside the names of the people you wish to register in this class.
Note that if you have a family account with two or more OLLI members, you can register both people for the same class at the same time by checking both boxes. If you are the only contact on your account, there will be only one name shown, but you still have to check the box.
NOTE: The system checks for time conflicts. If you try to register for two classes that overlap in time, it will give you an error message when you try to complete your registration, and it will give you a chance to remove one of the classes to avoid the conflict. If you have already completed registration for one or more classes, the system will not let you register or join the wait list for any class that has a time conflict with your previous registrations, so don't complete your registration until you're sure you want those classes.
Parking Permit (optional)
After selecting one or more names and clicking "Register," you may see a pop-up similar to this. (The real one will offer a real parking permit for $10, not a practice one for free.) UAF Parking Services makes reduced-rate parking passes available to OLLI members. These passes cost $10 and are good for parking ONLY in the lots adjacent to the UPark building; each pass is valid for 6 months.
You will be offered the chance to purchase a parking permit whenever you register for a class that meets at UPark. If you don't need a parking permit, leave quantity at "0" and hit the "Cancel" button. If you want to purchase a parking permit, change the quantity to "1" and click the "Continue" button.
YOU ONLY NEED ONE PARKING PERMIT PER CAR, not one per class. The system will offer you the optional parking permit with each class that meets in UPark. If you're registering for multiple classes in UPark, just click "Cancel" when the parking pop-up keeps coming up.
Pending Registrations
You now have a course in "Pending Registrations."
If you want to add more courses, click "Search for more courses" to repeat the procedure of finding and registering for a class. When you are done, click "Complete my registration."
The ProClass system will hold courses as "pending" for TEN MINUTES. If you haven't completed your registration within 10 minutes, it will release your space in your pending class(es) and you'll have to start over. So, note the time, and be sure to move on to "Complete Registration" before your 10 minutes are up. If you need to, split your registrations into two or more batches so you won't go over 10 minutes.
Confirm Courses: click "PAY LATER"
The default option on this screen is "Full" (i.e. pay now) but the credit card function doesn't work yet so you must click "Pay Later." Then click the "continue" button to finish.
You can either mail us a check or call the OLLI office to pay with your credit card. We apologize for the inconvenience. We are told that the online credit card payment function will be available to us sometime in March.
Registration Complete
When you reach this screen, you have successfully completed your registration. Your account balance due to OLLI is shown in red at the bottom.
The registrations listed will ONLY show the class(es) you registered for just now, not previous registrations. We recommend clicking the link to get a printable record to keep.

Jon Stewart on the Senate's Goldman Sachs Hearing
As Jon Stewart pointed out on last night's Daily Show, one of the primary figures in the Goldman Sachs fraud case is named Fabrice Tourre and goes by the nickname "Fabulous Fab." You know, I don't think we're going to get any real substantial financial reform anytime soon; I'm not that naïve. But can we all at least agree to make some sort of edict that if a guy is named Fabrice and he works in the upper echelons of a financial juggernaut, his self-assigned nickname has to be "Prudent Fab" or "Level-Headed Fab" or at least "Slightly Above Average, But I Really Don't Like to Toot My Own Horn Fab"?
Stephen Colbert's take can be found below.
The Daily Show and Colbert Report air Monday through Thursday starting at 11pm / 10c.

The Massive Goldman Sachs Senate Hearing, Recapped (Caution: PG-13)
Carl Levin (D-MI): We are gathered here today because you are the worst people on earth, and also because a little grandstanding never hurts going in to a midterm election. I will begin. You are the worst people on earth.
Susan Collins (R-ME): There is an R after my name, so even though I agree with Carl, I will use gentler words like "unseemly" and "unsettling." You boys are cads.
Claire McCaskill (D-MO): If it's all right with everyone, I'd like to make the first of many gambling analogies. John Ensign specifically asked us to do a lot of those, I'm not sure why.
Fabrice "Fab Fab" Tourre, former VP, Goldman: My lawyers have instructed me to be as bland and evasive as possible. I will say that this week has been a a real bummer.
Carl Levin: Now I'm going to read some emails aloud. You sold clients securities that you were shorting. How did you guys get comfortable with the source of these securities? How did you guys get comfortable-
Daniel Sparks, former head of mortgages, Goldman: I don't- we don't-
Carl Levin: How did you guys get comfortable with that?
Daniel Sparks: I'm not sure what you're-
Carl Levin: Yes you are, you're just being bland and evasive. Never mind, I have a new phrase I want to repeat. "Crap pools." This was in a Goldman email. Crap pools. Crap pools? Crap pools! Do you recollect that?
Daniel Sparks: Um, I- what page is that- hmm. So much paper. I can't find it.
Carl Levin: Moving right along. "Shitty deal." That's from another email. I can cuss all I want, on TV, this is great. Shitty deal. Shitty deal.
Susan Collins: I want to ask a lofty ethical-sounding question that has zero relevance in the context of how Wall Street actually works. Do you have a duty to act in the best interests of your clients? I want to know so I can help defeat regulatory reform that might impose such a duty.
Daniel Sparks: We, uh, we want to do well.
Joshua Birnbaum, former MD, structured products, Goldman: I'll be the guy who says yes, we do.
Fab Fab: We're a market-maker. We provide liquidity. I can say other finance words too.
Susan Collins: I am going to ask you a lengthy but specific question, Fab. All you need to do is answer it.
Fab Fab: Okay. You mentioned an email? Which email is that? I don't have that in front of me.
Susan Collins: This is from your email on the 26th, at the bottom of the page.
Fab Fab: Oh, I- no, I do have it. Can you repeat your lengthy but specific question? Slowly, this time. Maybe pause for a minute or two between each sentence.
Susan Collins: You little fucker.
Carl Levin: Fucker! Fucker! Fucker!
Claire McCaskill: Shitty deal! Shitty deal! Sorry, mom.
Tom Coburn (R-OK): Just sticking my head in to say I think y'all should be able to short whatever you want. High-five, boys. Make the checks out to Coburn for Senate.
John Ensign (R-NV): I'm on! Knock knock.
Everybody: Who's there?
John Ensign: Nevada. I can't help but notice that you're comparing Wall Street to Las Vegas. What's up with that? In Vegas you know the odds. On Wall Street they manipulate the odds while you're playing. Thank you, you've been great.
David Viniar, CFO, Goldman: That's a tough act to follow.
Carl Levin: Tell me about your big short, David. Your big short on the housing market.
David Viniar: Well, big short and big long.
Carl Levin: Big short.
David Viniar: Big long.
Carl Levin: Crap pools. Shitty deals.
David Viniar: That's very unfortunate to have on email.
Everyone: Gotcha!
David Viniar: I just meant I don't like the swear words. So many swear words.
Carl Levin: Hiiiiii, Lloyd.
Lloyd Blankfein, CEO, Goldman: Hi Carl.
Carl Levin: I am going to talk about how you created and sold investments that you were betting against. Admit you did that.
Lloyd Blankfein: I am going to talk about Goldman's role as a market-maker, which means we simply provide a mechanism for people to buy and sell assets that have been created. This will ensure that I avoid your question. It will also ensure that you avoid my answer. We live in different contexts.
Carl Levin: Put it in a human context.
Lloyd Blankfein: Are you kidding? Why do you think I went into i-banking?
John McCain: My friends, what is a synthetic CDO? How come no one has asked that, ever?
Carl Levin: Oh shitty deals, you guys, I forgot to mention AIG! Lloyd, AIG. You took taxpayer money from AIG. Admit you did that.
Lloyd Blankfein: AIG paid us what they owed us.
Carl Levin: With bailout money that came from taxpayers' pockets.
Lloyd Blankfein: We weren't the ones who passed bailout legislation.
Carl Levin: I wouldn't put it past you.
Lloyd Blankfein: I- oh, never mind.
Carl Levin: It's been almost eleven hours. Everyone's welcome to leave at this point. Not you, Lloyd. I want to see you in the cloakroom. I'm not done with you yet. Shitty deals. Crap pools.
Lloyd Blankfein: You are absolutely adorable.

A Serie C (minor league) soccer player is claiming that he is regularly paid for sex with several players at the national team-level and in Italy's Serie A. Raise your hand if you're surprised. Yeah, me neither. From the Daily Mail:
A player named only as 'Victory' claims he has been the lover of 12 well-known top flight stars… 'I charge 1500 euros (£1300) and the players pay up no problem… They just want to relax and they don't have any problems kissing me on the mouth. But they are all terrified of being found out…
'I have about 30 clients who are footballers and I would say that a dozen are Serie A and national team players – several times I have been asked to take part in group sex sessions…
'Players from the same team and my friends and it is always just for sex. They all know I am a footballer as well but they like me because I am discreet.'
Oh yeah. He's very discreet. Why, when he tells the whole world that he's sleeping with a bunch of high-profile soccer players in Serie A, he doesn't even name names. Such restraint.
In all seriousness, and speaking as a soccer fan, Italian soccer gives homosexuality a bad name. I'd rather watch gay sex than a Serie A game. Wait. Uh, I think I probably could have phrased that better.
I want more like this!

Last week, Oaklyn Police sent out a very vague call for public aid in the matter of an incident that may or may not have occurred outside the CVS on the White Horse Pike between 7 and 8 p.m. on Jan. 28.
At the time, Oaklyn Police Chief Joseph Abbate said that releasing too much information on what may have been seen—or not seen, for that matter—could compromise the investigation.
Today, Abbate explained the need for secrecy.
"The initial report came in to police as an abduction," Abbate said in a statement released Tuesday afternoon.
"At the beginning, responding officers were skeptical about the manner in which this incident was reported," the statement read. "Investigators are now confident that this did not take place. Furthermore, the reporting person has now stopped cooperating with this police department."
Abbate went on to thank those who heard about the story and came forward to clarify the matter.
As the old saying goes: No news is good news.
