Did you know that 1 out of every 5 wireless devices in America may be stolen or accidentally damaged this year?
At Wirefly, our wide selection of phones and tablets are on sale every day at great prices with a 2-year agreement. However, if your phone is damaged or stolen while still under contract, it will cost you hundreds of dollars more to replace your wireless product at the full retail price if you don't have Device Protection Service.
Accidents happen and Device Protection Service from our partner the Mobile Device Protection Association (MDPA) will help you recover with a new or repaired phone as quickly as possible and with no deductible.
Sign-up for monthly or annual Device Protection Service at the time of check-out or within 30 days of purchase for peace of mind. Then, in the event of damage or theft, we've got you covered as our partner MDPA makes it easy to replace or repair your wireless product.
Because we know how stressful it can be when your phone is missing or broken, we encourage all Wirefly customers to sign-up for Device Protection Service when they buy a new phone.
Don't wait to become a statistic; protect your new phone from day one.
Need more information? Check out our Device Protection Service Frequently Asked Questions:
The entire wireless product, including the original electronic accessories and batteries provided within the manufacturer's box, is covered for repair or replacement with no deductible. Each protected device is covered up to the replacement value (the limit of liability) for accidental damage, theft, or malfunction. If a covered item is not available for replacement, you will be offered a model of similar value. Some limitations apply; see What is not covered by Device Protection Services?below.
In addition to the same no-deductible, equipment coverage offered with Device Protection Service (see above), Platinum Device Protection Service includes a free Wirefly MobileBackup PRO account to protect the data saved on your smartphone. Wirefly Mobile Backup PRO includes unlimited, secure data storage for all your smartphone files, including your photos, videos and address book. Access, download and restore your files from any computer or compatible smartphone anytime. You'll also have unlimited use of the five Wirefly Mobile Backup PRO features including the popular 'last known location' and 'erase my phone'. Learn more about Wirefly MobileBackup PRO, which is included with Platinum Device Protection Service and also sold separately.
Your replacement wireless device will be based on the replacement ("retail") value of the covered device without a new line of service activation. If the protected wireless device that you originally purchased is not available, you will be offered a device of similar value. Eligible devices are covered up to the limit of liability (retail price of the device without a service activation).
The Device Protection Service is provided by the Mobile Device Protection Association , LLC (MDPA), PO Box 880428, Boca Raton, FL 33488 (800-654-5590). The MDPA has more than 23 years' experience as a leader of wireless device protection services. Your Device Protection Service will appear as CELL STORES on your credit card statement as a recurring charge (monthly plans) or one-time charge (annual plans).
All RFS' are processed within 24 hours of receipt (during regular business hours). Replacements are usually completed within 2-3 business days with repairs slightly longer. No loaner or replacement equipment is provided during this period.
The length of your Device Protection Service coverage depends on the plan type you choose.
If you choose the annual billing option, Device Protection Service will cover the protected product from the date of activation to the end of the one year term. You may extend your membership at the end of your term each year. Failure to renew your protection before the term expires (one year) will terminate your annual membership.
If you choose to be billed monthly, your credit card will automatically be charged on a recurring basis until you cancel your membership.
Your Device Protection Service starts when your wireless device is activated. Therefore, if your order is cancelled before your device is activated your membership will not begin and you will not be billed.
If you do change your covered device to a different device during the 12 month membership period, you must contact MDPA directly to update your records with your new device's IMEI or ESN (unique serial number of each device) in order to retain your Device Protection Service benefits.
The following incidents and/or product accessories are not covered by Device Protection Service:
Device Protection Service does not cover your wireless device when it is in transit either through postal or courier services. We suggest that you get insurance for your shipping package, in the instance you are transporting the device through mail or a courier service. Additionally, equipment is not covered for incidents occurring outside the United States and Canada. If you do not purchase Device Protection Service at the same time as you purchase your new wireless product, then there is a 30 day waiting period before coverage is activated.
Yes, you may cancel your Wireless Device Protection Service at any time as long as you have not placed a Request for Service (RFS).
No refunds will be issued for a cancelled membership which is billed monthly. To cancel a monthly subscription, contact us at 888-843-2485.
To cancel an annual subscription, you must request the cancellation in writing to Mobile Device Protection Association, LLC, PO Box 880428, Boca Raton, FL 33488, Attn: Membership Processing, or email the request to email@example.com. MDPA will refund a pro-rata amount of your unused coverage period (annual protection plans only).

As neighbors in the city's College Hill neighborhood, RISD and Brown have long enjoyed a collaborative relationship. All students at each institution may cross-register for classes on the neighboring campus at no extra cost. Many RISD students take advantage of intensive foreign language classes and offerings in math, science and the humanities. Conversely, Brown students appreciate the opportunity to do in-depth studio work and have access to specialized equipment just down the hill at RISD.
RISD students are also given ready access to Brown's extensive research libraries and comprehensive athletic facilities, which include courts, gyms, tracks, a pool and an ice skating rink. Other activities that take place at Brown, from lectures and symposia to concerts, exhibitions and theatrical productions, are generally open to the RISD community. In other words, with a RISD or Brown ID students on both campuses have access to a wider range of options than is available on their own campus alone.

Million Short: A Different Kind of Search Engine
Search engines like Google are wonderful for anyone wanting to perform standard searches. Google has an amazing ability to cover the depth and breadth of the internet, which is a major reason why so many people depend upon it. Google also has a real knack for always providing the most popular search results first. What happens, however, if you are looking for something that is not popular like ancestral records or obscure historic documents?
Ancestral records are essentially archived records and, as discussed in the article Five New Google Search Tricks, archived records generally do not figure prominently on the internet. This can be a problem if popular search engines are used to search for the less popular.
In the past, there were essentially only two ways around this open-ended search problem:
• Search for ancestors using the Google Advanced Search function. This provides a more customized search query that can result in more customized search results. (see How to Use Google Advanced Search for Genealogy)
• Use a dedicated genealogy search engine. The two most popular genealogy search engines on the internet are the free Genealogy Search Engine and the somewhat-free Mocavo.
Now there is a third way to perform searches on the internet for your ancestors. It is called Million Short. It is a search engine that specializes in searching less-common websites. Million Short is ideal for anyone looking for ancestral records because archived ancestral records are often found in the obscure corners of the internet.
The name Million Short derives from the fact that this search engine basically ignores the 1 million most popular websites on the internet. Instead, it focuses on less-common websites. Basically, it specializes in what are known as long-tail searches, which focusses on the obscure and the uncommon. Many genealogy records are obscure.
Most estimates suggest there are over 100 million websites on the internet and some estimates place the number at over 200 million websites. Traffic on the internet, however, is not evenly distributed. The internet is very much a popularity contest. The top 1 million websites account for the vast lion's share of traffic on the internet. Google search results focus on the most popular results from the most popular websites (this is the basis of the famous Google PageRank algorithm that helped make Google the most popular search engine). Thus, Google results tend to be clustered around the one million most popular websites.

The Whale Hunter
Steve Cyr entices the biggest gamblers to risk millions at casino games in return for over-the-top freebies and service.
Michael Kaplan
From the Print Edition:
Cuban Models, May/June 03
Steve Cyr has 72 hours in which to make $300,000. If he succeeds, it will require many sessions of high altitude gambling, endless schmoozing, world-class coddling, a bit of lying, a few dozen Super Bowl tickets, and the kind of bad luck that brings even the most resilient high rollers to their knees.
Though Cyr's fortunes hinge on high-stakes action, he himself is not a gambler. Well, not exactly. He is a whale hunter, a sobriquet for a person who wrangles the industry's biggest players and sets them up to risk millions of dollars at games in which the long-term odds are hopelessly tilted against them. For this particular weekend, which coincides with the 2003 Super Bowl, Cyr has flown in 16 big players -- whales in casino parlance -- their 25 guests, and credit lines that total $3 million to the Barona Valley Ranch Resort and Casino, a posh gambling complex that opened near San Diego last December. If they all go through their money (far from an impossibility, but an admitted long shot), Cyr, who consults for eight other casinos in Las Vegas and the Caribbean, will go home with a juicy cut of their losses. "And if they all win," says the strapping and hyperactive 39-year-old Cyr, "then I go home with nothing." The subject of a forthcoming book called Whale Hunt in the Desert by Deke Castleman hesitates for a beat and smirks. "But you know that's not going to happen. It'd be impossible."
You can't throw something like this together overnight. In November, when gamblers were still talking about the World Series, Cyr, who cut his teeth by telemarketing vitamins, was already in sales mode. Working out of his home office in Vegas, he called 60 of his best players. Speaking cockily, he initiated a series of conversations that began something like this: "Hey, buddy. It's Steve Cyr. Listen, you better fucking book your flight to San Diego."
Well acquainted with the Cyr spiel, the whale bites: "Why?"
"I got Super Bowl tickets," Cyr says.
This is nothing special. If you're a big player, every casino in Vegas is begging you to come down for the Super Bowl. The whale tells Cyr as much. "Caesars is gonna take me. I've already talked to them about it."
Undaunted, Cyr turns up the heat. "No, man. This is completely different. We're going to be staying in San Diego, at the Barona. Tell the wife you're taking her somewhere nice for a change. We'll limo to the game instead of flying in, put you up in a beautiful villa, and take you out to play golf with a bunch of NFL stars on the best new course in the state."
Knowing that nobody will seriously commit in November, Cyr lets the idea simmer for a while with his players. Then he tells the Barona that he'll need 35 to 40 tickets. A couple weeks later he calls his people again. Over the next two months, Cyr sweet-talks their wives with promises of lavish spa treatments in San Diego, woos the men with the Barona's deluxe invitations (including balls signed by John Elway and other National Football League greats), and talks up the Barona as if it's Valhalla with blackjack.
By late December he's got his lineup of players, but he knows that New Year's Eve can change everything. "Let's say one of my big guys comes to Las Vegas on New Year's Eve and blows $3 million around town. Now, suddenly, he's snapped," laments Cyr. "He'll want to come to the Super Bowl, but I don't want him here. If he loses here, I'll be last on his list to get my money. Plus, he'll gamble over his head to try to win back the money to pay the other casinos. He's what we call a chaser. I don't want chasers here for the Super Bowl."
So Cyr spends the first week of January reviewing credit information from Central Credit, the Equifax of gaming. He notices that one of his guys went on a bender, doing particular damage to himself at the Venetian's blackjack tables. Cyr needs to distance himself from the guy. He makes a phone call: "Hey, buddy. I hear you really fired it up at the Venetian. Yeah, well, there's a problem with the Super Bowl. They've got this weird law in California: if you owe money to one joint, you can't get credit from any of the places here." Cyr sounds sincerely sorry and suitably somber, but later reveals, "That's complete bullshit. But it works for me."

October 29, 2009
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia health officials say the
percentage of visits to emergency departments and urgent-care
centers for influenza-related illness has plateaued and mirrors
what's going on in the rest of the country.
State health commissioner Dr. Karen Remley said on Thursday that
patients reporting swine flu-related symptoms make up about 14
percent of emergency-room and urgent-care medical visits. Twelve
people have died statewide from influenza-related problems.
Meantime, a vaccine shortage continues. Remley said 598,000
doses have been received or are on the way to the state. School-age
children are being targeted for immunization in more than 300
clinics in private and public schools, but several clinics have had
to be postponed because of the lack of vaccine.
Health officials are continuing to stress that healthy people
allow children, pregnant women and those with underlying health
conditions first crack at vaccines when they become available.

Can someone please confirm the following, please?
Takumar/Pentax M42 lenses come in 2 types, one with an "extra" pin on the flange that permits auto exposure measurements with an "open" lens.
The second type does not have the extra pin.
Both types have a lever, with two positions labelled "Auto" and "Manual".
When using the lens type without the "extra" pin, when taking an exposure, should this lever be set to "auto" or to "manual" in order for the diaphragm to stop down/be already stopped down to the desired aperture at the moment of "firing" the shutter ?
Thanks for your help

Saints Weather Hurricanes in front of Sellout Crowd
– The North Georgia men's basketball team continued to
stay one of the hottest teams in the league Wednesday evening,
holding on down the stretch to defeat Georgia Southwestern 65-61 in
front of a sellout crowd in Memorial Hall in Peach Belt Conference
The Saints improve to 10-6 overall on the year, picking up their fifth straight victory, while moving to 5-1 in the Peach Belt Conference. The Hurricanes fall to 5-10 overall on the season and 1-5 in league action.
North Georgia jumped out of the gate in the opening minutes with four straight points as Carl Taylor and Michael Moynihan knocked down jumpers to give the Saints a 4-0 advantage. GSW would respond with a 12-3 run over the next seven minutes capped by a pair of free throws from Chris Rawls to give the hurricanes a 12-7 advantage.
Georgia Southwestern led by as many as eight points in the opening half, but the Saints used a 12-0 run to erase the deficit and take a four-point lead before Evan Mobley's half court buzzer three-pointer gave the Hurricanes a one-point lead at 31-30 heading into intermission.
The Hurricanes opened the second half with a layup to take a three-point lead, but the Saints came right back with an 8-0 run to jump out to a five-point lead at 38-33. Over the next eight minutes, North Georgia would never relinquish the lead, but GSW stayed close, never letting the lead stretch over five points, a margin the Saints held at three different points.
At the 5:42 mark, Michael Moynihan gave the Saints their largest lead of the game with a running layup as North Georgia extended their lead to six. With under a minute to play and the Hurricanes back to within two points, Michael Moynihan drove down the lane and found a wide open Kendall Butler to push the lead back up to four at 63-59.
Following a pair of free throws by GSW to cut the lead right back to two, Michael Moynihan ran the clock down and was fouled with 16 seconds remaining, walking to the free throw line and hitting both shots, which turned out to be the final points of the game as the Saints escaped with the four-point victory.
Rimmer led the Saints with a team-high 18 points and seven rebounds, while Andrew Bennett tallied 12 points and Michael Moynihan was the only other double figure scorer for the Saints with 10 points while adding four assists.
Chris Rawls recorded the game's only double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds, while Evan Mobley added 18 points and Marcus Scott tallied 11 points.
North Georgia shot 45.6 percent from the field, 25 percent from long range, and 76.9 percent from the free throw line, while the hurricanes were 45.8 percent from the floor, 46.2 percent from behind the arc, and 76.9 percent from the charity stripe.
North Georgia returns to action on Saturday evening, traveling to Clayton State University for an in-state showdown with the Lakers. Tip-off at the Athletics and Fitness Center is set for 7:30 p.m.

QEP Idea
Law enforcement park rangers have undergone an extraordinary transformation since the late 1800s when U.S. Army soldiers protected wildlife from illegal hunters in Yellowstone National Park, and protected the resources in other national parks in the west.
Today, Law Enforcement Park Rangers belong to the "Visitor and Resource Protection Division" within the National Park Service. Modern Park Rangers might drive a patrol car, a 4-wheel drive vehicle, a UTV, or pilot a boat almost anywhere in the United States.
Their duties vary depending upon which of the nearly 400 national parks they are assigned to. A park ranger's typical duty day may require hiking the backcountry at Grand Canyon National Park on a rescue mission, flying over Big Bend National Park in Texas, or being out on boat patrol at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Arizona.
So whether responding to a crime in progress, searching for a lost child, rendering CPR to a heart attack victim, or simply giving directions to visitors, Park Rangers assigned to national parks are well trained, well qualified and well equipped to serve and protect our visitors, as well as the national resource entrusted to their care.
Serve and Protect the Public and Protect Resources
Objectivity. All actions taken by commissioned employees will be directed toward accomplishing the mission of the NPS. Enforcement of the law is one method to achieve this goal, but it is not a goal unto itself. Commissioned employees must appreciate and understand both the spirit and letter of the law.
Adaptability. Law enforcement operations within the NPS offer as many unique assignments as there are areas within the system. It is essential that every commissioned employee develop the confidence and flexibility necessary to adjust to the different attitudes and procedures that exist from area to area. They should be able to cultivate the support and cooperation of the public in the Service's operations. Citizen approval is essential to an effective program.
Integrity. Public respect is essential to any law enforcement activity. In order to earn this respect, the commissioned employee must enforce the law impartially. The employee's private life should be free from scandal and suspicion that would result in public criticism.
Versatility. NPS commissioned employees are much more than just enforcers of the law. They are protectors of park resources and the public welfare. They must possess the ability to perform all other protection duties and they must be adept in all the facets of visitor use management and resource protection required by their current assignment.
Compatibility. The role of the commissioned employee is just one of numerous employee roles, all directed toward accomplishing the same mission. They must have the capacity to understand the purposes and functions of other NPS activities and must be able to work in concert with others in the pursuit of common goals.

Despite their first loss in preaseason to the Carolina Panthers, the Ravens had to be delighted with the performances of three injured players who received their first substantial playing time Thursday night.
Cornerback Lardarius Webb (knee) and offensive guard Marshal Yanda (shoulder) are starters, and defensive tackle Marcus Spears (thigh) is expected to get plenty of playing time in the line rotation.
Webb, one of the top corners in the league before his injury last season, looked good. He matched up against the Panthers' Steve Smith, who isn't as productive as he used to be, but is still a quality receiver. Webb showed no hesitation challenging Smith at the line of scrimmage and attacking the ball.

More importantly, he changed direction well when he broke on the ball.
"I just wanted to play football again, and when I finally got back out there, it felt like football again," Webb said. "The thing I got most out of it was being out there with the defense, just running around with them smiling and having fun — that's what I got out of it. It's going to come along. It's going to be good. I'm just happy to be out there with the guys."
Yanda was dominant, and that was no surprise even though he only played about a quarter. The explosion was there and he was able to make blocks into the second level. When he left the game, there was a noticeable drop-off compared to his replacement, Jah Reid.
"Marshal, from what I can tell, did well. It's hard to see him from where I'm at but it seemed like he was solid…when he was in there," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said after the game.
The Ravens signed Spears during the offseason and he was always a strong run-stopper with the Dallas Cowboys. He penetrated and caused problems for Carolina, especially in a short-yardage situation in the first half. If he stays low, the big-bodied Spears is tough to budge off the line of scrimmage.
Don't get too concerned — yet
A week ago, I was criticized because I pointed out that quarterback Joe Flacco had not performed up to par in recent practices and also in two preseason games.
But after throwing two more interceptions Thursday night, including one returned for a touchdown, giving him four in the preseason, even Harbaugh said the team has some concerns.
I'm still not overly concerned. Joe is Joe. He is still inconsistent from quarter to quarter, and he will play poorly in five or six games this year. But he will play well in the other ones, and has earned the reputation of a big-game quarterback.
"I think it is that, cause Joe is not one to throw interceptions, as we all know," said Harbaugh, when asked if Flacco needed the preseason to get the interceptions out of his system. "We'll be concerned about them — Joe more than anybody. We'll take a hard look at it with Jim [Caldwell] and Craig Ver Steeg. We'll assess where we're at with him. A lot of that is [that] he's trying to get a feel for guys.
"I can't say if everybody was exactly where they were supposed to be on the routes or not — that's the stuff we'll look at. Joe will be the first to take responsibility — he has always been that way. I don't expect that to be an issue this year, but we've got to make sure it's not."
Business decision
Tight end Dallas Clark, an 11-year veteran, dropped two passes against the Panthers, but that probably won't happen again. One drop was what they call a "business decision," where he decided not to stretch out for a high pass thrown over the middle.
I wouldn't have, either.
It's too early in the season for that. In the Super Bowl last season, Flacco threw a high slant to veteran wide receiver Anquan Boldin, and he short-armed it. Boldin just stared at Flacco as he went back to the huddle.
He had made a business decision as well.
Where's the adjustment?

I left a comment on this question expressing the the thought that it was a very hard question to Google (search) for. I did this to establish that we shouldn't be too hard on the questioner, even though it is a question that has certainly been asked before. That comment is gone. It wasn't a LMGTFY comment, so I wonder if it was misunderstood or if there's some bot that automatically deletes everything with Google in it.
Users can flag comments as noise, offensive, or spam (using the little flag icon that shows up when you mouse over a comment). If a comment accumulates three flags (more if the comment is upvoted), it's automatically deleted. That may have happened to you.
I didn't see the comment, so I can't say whether it deserved to be deleted. I do see a lot of flagged comments (in the 10k tools) that, in my opinion, shouldn't have been flagged.

A Polio-Free U.S. Thanks to Vaccine Efforts
Polio, or poliomyelitis, is an infectious viral disease that can strike at any age and affects a person's nervous system. In the late 1940s to the early 1950s, polio crippled an average of more than 35,000 people in the United States each year; it was one of the most feared diseases of the twentieth century.
Polio: the fewest cases in the fewest places in the world. Learn more about efforts to vaccinate every child and make the world polio-free.
Thanks to the polio vaccine, dedicated health care professionals, and parents who vaccinate their children on schedule, polio has been eliminated in this country for more than 30 years.
It is crucial to maintain the success rate of U.S. vaccination efforts since the disease still exists in some parts of the world. People most at risk are those who never had polio vaccine, those who never received all the recommended vaccine doses, and those traveling to areas that could put them at risk for getting polio.
The Childhood Polio Vaccination Schedule
For best protection, children should get four doses of polio vaccine. This vaccine is given as a shot in the arm or leg and is extremely safe. Ideally, your child should receive a dose at ages 2 months, 4 months, and 6 through 18 months, then a booster dose at age 4 through 6 years.
IPV: A Safe Vaccine
Inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) may sometimes be given in the same shot with other vaccines (in other words, in a combination vaccine), so discuss this option with your child's doctor. Getting the recommended doses of the polio vaccine is an extremely important part of keeping the United States polio-free.
For information about adults who may not have received sufficient vaccine protection, see the adult polio vaccination schedule.
Paying for Vaccine
Most health insurance plans cover the cost of vaccines, but you may want to check with your insurance provider before visiting your pediatrician, health care professional, or local health department for a vaccination. Learn how to pay for vaccines. If you don't have insurance, or if it doesn't cover vaccines, the Vaccines for Children Program may be able to help. This program helps families of eligible children who might not otherwise have access to vaccines. The program provides vaccines at no cost to health care providers who serve eligible children.
Traveling to Another Country?
Polio has been eliminated from most of the world, but the disease still exists in a few countries in Asia and Africa. Even if you were previously vaccinated, you may need a one-time booster shot before you travel anywhere that could put you at risk for getting polio. A booster is an additional dose of vaccine to ensure the original vaccine series remains effective.
Visit CDC's Travelers' Health website for timely travel health information.
Make sure you get your travel vaccination(s) well before your departure date to ensure complete protection. See your health care professional for more information.
Polio Once Caused Widespread Panic
From the late 1940s to the early 1950s, polio outbreaks in the United States increased in frequency and size. Parents were frightened to let their children go outside, especially in the summer when the virus seemed to peak. Travel and commerce between affected cities were sometimes restricted. Public health officials imposed quarantines (keeping infected persons from coming into contact with non-infected persons) on homes and towns where polio cases were diagnosed.

Its a pity that this addon appears to have burned out five authors...
It had such potential for greatness, too!

That's been there for as long as this addon has been available, and the author has even explained why. Don't expect a fix for that.
I have noticed some enchants where it won't process the materials conversion if you have the dust. That's an issue that needs to be fixed though.

Having big lag when making a stack of inscription ink. It's screen lag, not networking/computer lag. This problem happened a long while back, too.
This only happens if the main window is open when crafting all, for example. If I queue them, close the main window and just have the queue window, no lag at all.Last edited Dec 02, 2012 by Marthisdil

"When we got in, we ate some food and did some orientation according to some academics," said Carter. "We did that pretty much the first day, and talked about the logistics of what it means to come play there at BYU and what is required."
Then on Friday night, he got to be in attendance as BYU's men's volleyball team got a huge win.
"Later that night we went to a volleyball game and my host was Mitch Mathews, and we went out with Marcus Mathews and another recruit that was with him," said Carter. "We had a great time watching BYU's volleyball team win that game. BYU beat the number one team in the country, UC Irvine."
Afterwards, Carter got to hang out with some of Mitch's friends.
"Instead of going out and partying like what happens at other places, we went over to some of his friends' home and played some board games," said Carter. "It was a lot of fun and something I thought was great. I really enjoyed it and something I had a lot more fun doing. You know, I know what other schools do when recruiting and I was happy that we did that. The next day is when we really started to have some fun."
The following day, Carter went on campus and saw more of what BYU has to offer.
"We went in and got to talk about all the facilities and all the opportunities that we'll have and all the things that we'll be able to take part in," Carter said. "They gave us some numbers the program has had over the past couple of years. We got to see some of the locker rooms and cool stuff like that."
Then the big 6-foot-5-inch, 280-pound lineman received word that Coach Mendenhall wanted to speak with him.
"We were about to go eat lunch and a coach came up to me and told me that Coach Mendenhall wanted to see me," Carter said. "So, me and my parents stopped and ate at the Legends Grill. After that we went up to Coach Mendenhall's office."
Last Thursday, Carter awoke nervous and asked for a blessing from his institute teacher prior to leaving for his official visit on Friday. He knew then that he would soon be sitting across from Coach Mendenhall. All butterflies aside, that time was now here.
"After that we went to Coach Mendenhall's office and sat down and talked to him," Carter said. "It was really a different experience than I expected. We didn't really talk much about football. We talked more about being a representative of truth, honor and virtue and being a flag-bearer and what the entails. He used The Book of Mormon, obviously, as what it means to be a BYU Cougar. After my mom and dad stopped crying, he handed me a scholarship offer and explained to me what it all entails.
"Once he offered me he asked me if I wanted some time, but I didn't need any time and I committed to him right there. I told him that this is what I wanted and told him that I had prayed about it before and received confirmation before I walked into his office. So, I committed to him right there and he explained to me what a commitment means. We were both on the same page as far as that goes."
With an offer in hand, Carter felt on top of the world.
"I was on cloud nine after leaving Coach Mendenhall's office," said Carter. "First I just got my offer and committed to BYU, so I was just feeling great after coming out of Coach Mendenhall's office. I had just committed to play for the most unique college football program in the nation! It was just great knowing that I'll be able to represent Jesus Christ and go out and play football out on the field.
"Then after that I went to go ride the snowmobiles, which I have never done before. That was a lot of fun and I didn't hit a tree but I did fall off though. I was the first one to fall off and hit the snow but it wasn't too bad. It was a lot like riding a jet ski and those things are pretty powerful. We were going 50 miles an hour and it was a lot of fun."
Carter's group of recruits included Trajan Pili, Addison Pulispher, Auston Johnson, Pita Taumoepenu from Timpview and Quincy Awe-Dubose from Oxnard, California. While the snowmobiles were part of the trip's highlight, there was one experience that topped it all.
"The biggest highlight was sitting with Coach Mendenhall in his office," said Carter. "It was easily the best part of my trip. After that I would say it was when we went snowmobiling, but sitting in Coach Mendenhall's office was an awesome experience! He's a good man and overall the experience was much more than I expected."
The position Carter will compete for is at either center or right tackle.

Performance improvement has 'turned the corner' in government
Shelley Metzenbaum said agencies are doing a better job in setting outcome-based goals and using data to measure their progress. OPM is finalizing guidance and training to use the competence models for performance improvement positions. Treasury and DHS are setting their own path to using data to meet their mission goals.

Durham >Food & Dining > Serena Restaurant & Bar
5311 S Miami Blvd Ste A, Durham, NC | Directions 2770335.880705 -78.849392
Mon-Fri 11am-8pm
Owner is dishonest, and takes advantage of good people. Overcharges for venue, and adds additional charges the day of event. Good food, but underhanded management.
Great Gourmet Food...Great Service! – I am in the RTP for business on a regular basis and Serena's is the only place I go. The menu is authentic Italian/Sicilian and the food is outstanding. A full line of local brews on tap, along with a good bottle selection and top shelf liquor. Very good deserts as well and even fresh espresso to accompany them.
This restaurant is privately owned by a very nice couple....just trying to make a name for themselves. Always very accommodating, with a staff that's great as well. So I'm not sure what provoked the last two reviewers situations.....Possibly the reviewers? All I can say is that I've always had a great experience at Serena whenever I'm in town.
One word of warning....If you are looking for the Olive Garden or similar, then don't go to Serena. You will be totally bummed because the food has much, much more flavor than that!!! Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
So if you live in Durham or visiting the RTP, then be sure to give Serena a try and tell them that KY Jeff sent you!
More thumbs down Manager needs people skills! – Apparently this establishment has not taken the Sept. 25 2011 criticism from resident r below seriously. We were in the area to attend the CASL Soccer Tournament and went to this restaurant the evening of Saturday December 3. We arrived a few minutes after the rest of our party (4 other people) had already ordered, and ordered a microbrew for me and a soda for my son, and our dinners. The rest of our party got their meals a few minutes later. We assumed our meals woud soon follow. Meanwhile a large party ordered about 10 minutes after we did. When that party started to get their meals 30 minutes later I respectfully asked the waiter about the status of our meals. A few minutes later the manager came out and said that they had "a computer glitch" and that our meals would be out in a few minutes. I was fine with that and accepted his offer of a beer on the house. Then he kept talking and said that there was a mistake with the order and that they had to re-enter it. So which was it, a glitch or a mistake? Then he said "look me in the eye sir and tell me you have not made a mistake?" and just kept being rude and making excuses. What??!!! I guess that answered what had really happened to our order! If he had just kept his mouth shut all would have been fine. The waiter then said that it would be 20 minutes for our order to arrive. Since our party had already finished their meals and we had been sitting for over 40 minutes at that point, and our meals were still 20 minutes out, I cancelled our order. When I did, I received more rude behavior from the manager. At that point I told him "look, I'm done here, please go away. We will go to the McDonalds down the street". A few minutes later the waiter presented me with the bill for $4.95 for my beer! Outrageous! Good beer though.
Not So Much ......Thumbs down – Serena's is the worst restaurant I have encountered in the RTP area thus far. I am new to the area and I felt the food tasted plain, music was too loud and obnoxious for a dining setting, and the ambiance was overall poor. Nothing special or exciting about this place. A waste of gas! Most importantly the staff and the restaurant owner are rude, insulting with terrible customer service skills. To the owner " Don't become irate with your customer's when your establishment is not up to par with your competition" I also went for a special event and Serena's owner falsely advertised the start time then started an hour late! No apologies from the owner just attitude about his mistake! Final thoughts 1 star!! thumbs down!!!
Best Italian joint in the RTP! – If you haven't been to Serena's or stood in line waiting to get in than you're definitely missing out! This place has amazing food from scratch and a variety to choose from that will fit anyone's palate!
I would recommend making a reservation of parties 8 or more! They have subs, sandwiches, pastas, and baked dishes to please!!!!
Great Food! – The food was excellent. We ordered four tapas and ended up ordering two more! Everything tasted great! And the house merlot was great as well.
The waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and did not pressure us to finish and leave.
All in all, this was a very pleasant dining experience and we'll be going there again!
Great place for Tapas in RTP – My fiancee and I visited Serena last Friday. We'd never been there before, but were interested in trying someplace new, instead of visiting one of the places we go to again and again.
We arrived around 7:30pm. I was nervous about going there at that time, figuring that was prime time for dinner, especially on a weekend, and I was expecting it to be crowded. We were surprised to find that it wasn't crowded at all. There was one table with a party of maybe ten seated at it, and then a few guys at the bar. Other than that, it was empty. I saw that other comments noted that Serena can get very busy, so I guess it was just a weird night when we were there.
My fiancee and I both ordered a cocktail. He got a jack and coke, and I got one of their signature cocktails. I don't remember what exactly it was called, but it involved fresh strawberries, lychee, and vodka, and it was one of the best cocktails I've ever had. It was also a huge glass. It was a $9 drink, but considering how large the glass was, it was well worth it to me.
For our meal, we split several tapas. I enjoyed everything. We had the proscuitto and fontina cheese croquettes, which I thought was delicious. My fiancee is more of a foodie than I am though, and he said that he thought that the croquettes had been frozen previously and simply heated before being served to us. Either way, I loved them. He wasn't as keen on them as I was. We also had the grilled asparagus with chipotle vinigrette (a bit on the spicy side), roasted red peppers with fontina cheese and mushrooms (I love anything that involves cheese), and a side of french fries. The amount of food was perfect for us to split, and we even had room for dessert. For dessert we had that night's special, which was an apple tart with ice cream. It tasted home made and was a great autumn treat.
We will probably go back to Serena sometime soon to try out some of the other tapas. I'm so happy there is a tapa place close by now, instead of having to drive all the way to Raleigh just for a decent small plates menu. I definitely recommend Serena!
One of the best in the triangle – Serena is a wonderful place to eat. Great menu and great food prepared with care and pride. The service is very good but not too stuffy or fake. We have been here several times and are never disappointed. The only downside is that Serena can become very crowded and loud, but that goes hand in hand with a popular place.
Fun bar/restaurant with good food – I've been to Serena's several times, both for lunch and after work for drinks and appetizers. Good service, nice drink variety and good food. The decor is kind of sparse, with both high and low tables, and I would consider this first to be a bar over a restaurant, but the food is good and not the standard far you would find at a bar. Good sandwiches and soups.
Great RTP Lunch Location – Great menu and great food. A perfect place to meet for lunch if you want something just a little different than the usual!

By Chef Laura Frankel
This brisket is slow dry roasted instead of the usual braised method of cooking. The final result is a tender, flavorful brisket that is beefy and acts like a blank canvas for the delicious BBQ sauce. Because the brisket is slow roasted, it does not shrink as much as the classic braising method and will stay juicy as well.
2 tablespoons mustard powder2 tablespoons dried thyme1 tablespoon ground ginger¼ cup brown sugar1 5-pound first cut brisket2 large Spanish onions, diced3 medium carrots, diced3 ribs of celery, diced1 head of garlic, unpeeled, cut in half horizontally
Place a large sauté pan lightly coated with olive oil over medium high heat. Salt and pepper the brisket on both sides. Brown the brisket in the pan on one side until it is deep dark brown. Turn the brisket and brown the other side. Remove the brisket and cool.Combine the ingredients for the rub in a bowl.Rub the brisket with a little olive oil. Generously coat the brisket on both sides with the rub. Place the vegetables in the insert for the slow cooker. Lay the brisket, fat side up on top of the vegetables. Cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or until a fork inserted in the brisket slides out with no resistance. Or, place a bed of chopped vegetables in a shallow pan (this will keep the brisket from stewing in its juices; this recipe is a dry roasted brisket). Place the rubbed brisket on top and cover tightly with parchment paper and then foil. (I do not like foil touching my food directly) Place in a 250-degree oven and cook for 8 hours or until a fork piercing the meat can be removed with no resistance.Discard the vegetables but save the pan juices. Cool the brisket completely before pulling. Toss with pan juices to keep moist.While the brisket is still warm, place it on a cutting board. Insert a fork into one end and pull the meat with another fork. The brisket will shred into nice pieces.Toss the brisket with the BBQ sauce and keep warm in an oven until ready to serve.
Recipe: Kosher, meat

Sen. Charles Schumer
3 %
How scores are calculated
Sen. Schumer Lifetime Average: 2%
VOTES (0 of 42)
|Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013
|The Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013 (H.R.152) would provide $50.507 billion in "emergency" funding intended for disaster assistance for Hurricane Sandy relief.
|Shorten the Duration of All Senate Debates
|Together, the rule changes would weaken the rights of the Senate minority and limit the opportunity of individual senators to represent their constituents.
|No on Senate Rule Changes
|Together, the rule changes would weaken the rights of the Senate minority and limit the opportunity of individual senators to represent their constituents.
|Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013
|The bill would reauthorize and expand the 1994 law that made domestic violence – typically handled by state and local governments – a federal crime.
|The Nomination of Chuck Hagel to be Secretary of Defense
|The motion ended debate to ultimately confirm former Senator Chuck Hagel to be the United States Secretary of Defense.
|Nomination of Caitlin Halligan to the US Court of Appeals for DC
|The motion ended debate to ultimately confirm Caitlin Joan Halligan, of New York, to be U.S. Circuit Judge.
|Cruz Amendment to Defund Obamacare and Delay its Implementation
|The "Restore Growth First" amendment, to be introduced by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), would delay the implementation of Obamacare by prohibiting funding for the law.
|Internet Sales Tax
|The Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013 (S.336), while often referred to as an "Internet sales tax" bill, the legislation has far broader and more complex implications.
|Prohibit Further Greenhouse Gas Regulations
|The amendment would have prevented drastic energy price increases by prohibiting further greenhouse gas regulations for the purposes of addressing climate change.
|Prevent Union Dues from Being Automatically Deducted from Federal Employees' Paychecks
|The amendment would have prevented union dues from being automatically deducted from the pay of Federal employees.
|Prevent Taxpayer Funding of the United Nations While Any Member Nation Forces Involuntary Abortions
|The amendment would have prevented any taxpayer funds to the United Nations while any member nation forces citizens or residents of that nation to undergo involuntary abortions.
|Require the Congressional Budget Office to Include Macroeconomic Feedback in its Scoring of Tax Legislation
|The amendment required the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to include macroeconomic feedback scoring of tax legislation.
|The Senate Democrat's Budget, with Higher Spending and a $1-trillion Tax Increase
|The Senate Budget (S.CON.RES.8), which would have increased spending, increased taxes and slowed economic growth.
|Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013
|While often referred to as an "Internet sales tax" bill, the legislation has far broader and more complex implications, especially with regard to states' rights.There is no Internet exemption from sales taxes; in fact, sales taxes are already collected for the vast majority of online sales. Instead, the proposal concerns the power of states over businesses outside of their borders. Specifically, the proposal would overturn a Supreme Court decision setting limits on a state's ability to require out-of-state retailers to collect sales taxes for them, turning every out-of-state retailer into a sales tax collector for nearly 10,000 separate state, local and municipal tax jurisdictions. The bill will likely face Due Process challenges should it become law.
|Water Resources Development Act of 2013
|The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2013 (S.601) would authorize federal spending on an array of water resource projects, including for ports, harbors, inland waterways, beaches, and wetlands, most of which are run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that S.601 outlays will be $12.2 billion over the fiscal year 2014-2023 period, though the substitute amendment will drive that cost significantly higher.
|Schumer-Toomey-Manchin Amendment to Require Universal Background Checks
|Much like the underlying bill, the Schumer-Toomey-Manchin Amendment is highly flawed. It would infringe on Americans' constitutional rights and do little to prevent horrific crimes such as the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
|Motion to Proceed to the Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act of 2013
|The Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act of 2013 (S.649) would undermine Americans' constitutional rights and do little to prevent horrific crimes such as the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
|Farm and Food Stamp Bill
|Motion to Invoke Cloture which led to passage of the $1 trillion farm bill. Despite claims of reform, the farm bill continues to spend nearly $1 trillion on a variety of programs, including crop subsidies, conservation programs and food stamps.
|Repeal Sugar Price Support Program
|According to a Congressional Budget Office estimate, the Toomey-Shaheen amendment would have saved $82 million over the next ten years by making changes to America's dysfunctional sugar policy. Specifically, the Toomey-Shaheen Amendment would have repealed the Feedstock Flexibility Program that requires the government to buy up surplus sugar if the price of sugar falls below a certain target price and then requires the government to sell that surplus sugar to ethanol companies at a loss. The amendment would also have lowered the price support levels for sugar and removed the guarantee for domestic sugar producers that they get at least 85% of domestic sugar demand and provided the Secretary of Agriculture with discretion to modify or suspend this guarantee.
|End Debate on the Schumer-Corker-Hoeven Border Security Amendment to the Amnesty Bill
|Schumer-Corker-Hoeven fails to solve the enforcement problems in the underlying bill because Registered Provisional Immigrant (RPI) status (i.e., amnesty) is not made conditional on enforcement and security.
|Vote to Bring Up the Gang of 8 Amnesty Bill for Debate and Eventual Passage
|This vote enabled the Senate to consider the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act (S.744).
|Pass the Gang of 8 Amnesty Bill
|The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act (S.744) act would put 11 million illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship.
|Cloture on the Nomination of Thomas Perez to Serve as Secretary of Labor
|This vote enabled the Senate to consider the nomination of Thomas Perez to serve as Secretary of Labor.
|Cloture on the Renomination of Fred Hochberg as President of the Export-Import Bank
|This vote enabled the Senate to consider the nomination of Fred Hochberg to serve another term as president of the Export-Import Bank of the United States.
|Cloture on the Nomination of Richard Cordray as Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
|This vote enabled the Senate to consider Richard Cordray to be the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
|Reid Amendment to Strike Defunding Obamacare from CR
|After the Senate invoked cloture, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid added amendment #1974. This amendment would remove the defunding of Obamacare from the House-passed CR.
|Cloture That Led to Striking Defunding Obamacare from CR
|Invoking Cloture on the House-passed Continuing Appropriations Resolution (H.J. 59) would allow Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to use a simple majority to amend the CR and remove the language defunding Obamacare.
|Senate Negotiated Spending and Debt Deal
|The proposed deal compiled by the Senate to reopen the government, raise the debt ceiling, and will do nothing to stop Obamacare from harming the American people.
|On the Nomination of Mel Watt for Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA)
|Vote to end debate and eventually confirm Mel Watt as the new director for the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA).
|Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA)
|The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (S. 815), or ENDA, severely undermines civil liberties, increases government interference in the labor market, and tramples on religious liberty.
|Preventing Nuclear Option on Filibuster
|Voting YES to sustain the ruling of the chair would have kept the 60-vote threshold to end debate – commonly referred to as the filibuster – intact for executive branch and judicial nominees.
|Cloture on The Ryan-Murray Spending Increase Budget
|Voting for cloture would allow the passage of the budget agreement crafted by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA). The deal would lift the discretionary spending caps to $1.012 trillion in 2014 and $1.014 trillion in 2015 and increase revenues through an assortment of tax increases (which are labeled fees) in exchange for promises of future spending reductions.
|On the Nomination of Janet Yellen for Federal Reserve
|Under Janet Yellen's leadership, the Fed would likely become more politicized. A more politicized Fed threatens to place partisan concerns above sound monetary policy. Yellen will be a continuation of the trends set by Bernanke.
|$1.1 Trillion Omnibus Spending Bill
|The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 (H.R.3547), better known as the omnibus appropriations package, increases base discretionary spending by $24 billion in FY 2014. The omnibus takes the country in the wrong direction, both in terms of policy and overall spending levels.
|The Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014
|The innocuously named Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act would delay the start of the much needed reform in the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 for four years, setting a terrible precedent that this promising reform may never be allowed to go into effect and taxpayers would be left holding the bag.
|Cloture on the "Farm" Bill Conference Report
|Despite claims of reform, this bill continues to spend nearly $1 trillion on a variety of programs, including significant taxpayers subsidies to agribusiness, green energy handouts, conservation programs and of course the massive food stamp program.
|Cloture on Unemployment Insurance Extension
|The Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act extends the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program for three months. The EUC program provides for an additional 47 weeks of federally funded unemployment compensation, bringing the total length to 73 weeks.
|Cloture on Clean Debt Limit Suspension
|The Temporary Debt Limit Extension Act (S. 540), which would suspend the nation's debt ceiling until March 15, 2015. During that time, President Obama and Congress will have a blank check to spend and borrow.
|The Comprehensive Veterans Health and Benefits and Military Retirement Pay Restoration Act of 2014
|Allegedly designed to extend and expand health care programs for veterans as well as job-assistance and education benefits, this multibillion dollar bill fails to make necessary reforms to the Veterans Affairs system that is already overburdened and flawed, harming both veterans truly in need of assistance and taxpayers in the process. The Congressional Budget Office score of the bill shows it would cost roughly $24 billion over ten years.
|The Homeowner Flood Insurance Act
|This bill, passed in the House, would cancel reforms made in the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 meant to bring stability to the national flood insurance program.
|Cloture on the Ukraine Package and IMF Reforms
|The Support for the Sovereignty, Integrity, Democracy, and Economic Stability of Ukraine Act of 2014 (S.2124), contains reforms to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that are unrelated to Russia\'s aggression toward Ukraine and takeover of Crimea. The changes to the IMF would increase Russia's power at the IMF and reduce the voice of the U.S.
|On Cloture on the Substitute Amendment for Retroactive Extension of Emergency Unemployment Benefits
|The bill would extend emergency unemployment insurance benefits for five months and would provide retroactive payments to those who would have received benefits after the program expired in December.
CO-SPONSORSHIPS (0 of 3)
|Defund Obamacare Act of 2013
|The Defund Obamacare Act of 2013 (S.1292), introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), would defund Obamacare to prevent taxpayer dollars from being used to implement the law. Specifically, the Defund Obamacare Act of 2013 deauthorizes any Obamacare appropriations and rescinds prior appropriations that would implement any provision under Obamacare, while also halting any entitlements created by the law.
|Senate Transportation Empowerment Act
|The Transportation Empowerment Act (S.1702) would turn back control of the federal highway program (including transit) to the states by incrementally decreasing the federal gas tax and the size of the federal program, and in turn empower the states to fund and manage their transportation programs and priorities.
|Employee Rights Act
|The Employee Rights Act (S.1712) would protect workers from union pressure by putting power in the hands of employees and making union leaders more accountable to their members.
