Jeff Jarrett
Real Name
Jeffrey Jarrett
Date of Birth
July 14, 1967
Place of Birth
While he has made quite a name for himself in New Japan, there are rumors floating around that Lance Hoyt could be interested in signing with Jeff Jarrett and his new Global Force Wrestling. The belief is that Hoyt would want a schedule that enables him to still do frequent tours of Japan. Jarrett might be willing to agree to that since he wants his promotion to be internationally known.
April 21, 2014
Since the two sides tried to part ways as amicably as possible, there were some rules when Jeff Jarrett and TNA went their separate ways. Jarrett has been promoting his new Global Force Wrestling by posting pictures of himself on Twitter with various stars. TNA officials are rumored to be quite upset that he has done so with some of their contracted performers.
April 20, 2014
There are rumors floating around that Carlito could be one of the bigger names to sign with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling. The two of them were spotted together during WrestleCon in New Orleans earlier this month. Carlito is denying that the two of them talked about a contract, but the former WWE star did say that he was open to the possibility.
April 19, 2014
It appears that Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian are set to leave TNA once their contract expires in the coming weeks. Both performers are already accepting bookings on the independent wrestling circuit. There are rumors floating around that Bad Influence could be taking off to Japan or joining Jeff Jarrett in Global Force Wrestling later this year.
April 19, 2014
Earlier this month, rumors spread that Elijah Burke was going to be joining Jeff Jarrett in Global Force Wrestling because he was hanging out in New Orleans with the TNA founder and his wife, Karen Jarrett. Burke has added even more fuel to those rumors recently on Twitter when he hinted to a fan that he was going to be back on television soon.
April 19, 2014
Rumors have it that another reason why TNA gave the world heavyweight championship to Eric Young was to keep him from joining Jeff Jarrett in Global Force Wrestling. Young and Jarrett have a long history together, and they remain on very good terms. Since he is a very good worker and well liked backstage, TNA would much rather he stay with them long term.
April 18, 2014
"It's nuts to think that we could have four major wrestling promotions in the United States. Jeff's very smart, there's no doubt about it. He knows what he's doing, and always has a backup plan. He took TNA from nothing and turned it into something that's still around 12 years later. That's pretty darn good. That's an accomplishment right there. I trust Jeff. I trust him to put on something good, and something that people will watch." - AJ Styles on Jeff Jarrett and his new Global Force Wrestling
April 18, 2014
In an effort to show new fans that the company is capable of drawing in the big name performers in the industry, TNA has added alumni profiles to their roster page on their official website. Some notable names on there are Jeff Jarrett, Sting, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman, Mick Foley, Hulk Hogan, AJ Styles, Brooke Hogan, Ric Flair and Rob Van Dam.
April 18, 2014
In a rather nice win for his new Global Force Wrestling, Jeff Jarrett has revealed that he has signed a production deal with 25/7 Productions and Dave Broome, the man that created the popular Biggest Loser reality television show on NBC. Together, they are currently shopping a wrestling show around to the networks and hope to land a television spot soon.
April 15, 2014
"Seems like TNA is signing their core talents whose contracts are either up or in need of revising. WWE has seemingly made it clear that they have no interest in Impact talents and will instead reply on their Performance Center for their future stars. However, with Jeff Jarrett preparing to launch another promotion it makes sense for TNA to be proactive." - Jim Ross reveals that WWE is not interested in TNA performers
April 15, 2014
A very ugly incident took place over the weekend between Ian Rotten and Jeff Jarrett. According to Rotten, Jeff and Karen Jarrett were intoxicated at his show. A dispute over money came up, which Rotten admits was his fault. Jeff was said to have gone ballistic backstage, threatening Rotten, and even going as far as knocking off the glasses from the face of Rotten's 17 year old son. Jarrett has yet to tell his side of the story.
April 14, 2014
An article about Jeff Jarrett was recently published in the Tennessean, and some interesting tidbits are in there for professional wrestling fans. It revealed that Jarrett is still the largest shareholder in TNA outside of Panda Energy, which was confirmed by the company. He will remain an owner, even though he is starting up a rival promotion called Global Force Wrestling.
April 14, 2014
Earlier this month, Jeff Jarrett finally made the long awaited announcement of his new wrestling promotion, Global Force Wrestling. Another announcement was set for today, but the former world heavyweight champion had to delay things for another day. The reason being is because a major Hollywood publication needed more time for exclusivity.
April 14, 2014
Now that Global Force Wrestling has been officially announced, skeptical fans have been questioning whether or not Jeff Jarrett has enough of a net worth to fund such an endeavor. While he is putting some of his own money into the project, the TNA founder is not alone in this venture. Aside from Toby Keith chipping in a large chunk, there are other investors being lined up as well.
April 14, 2014
Earlier in the year, Jim Ross informed fans that he would not be attending Wrestlemania 30, but things changed over the last couple of weeks, as WWE has made amends with their former commentator. The rumor is that management wanted to appease Ross because there is a fear within the company that he might join Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling.
April 12, 2014
While he continues to take on various meetings to help set up Global Force Wrestling, one network that Jeff Jarrett is definitely not negotiating with is Spike TV. As part of his agreement upon leaving TNA, Jarrett agreed with Dixie Carter that he would not pitch anything to the network. It is being said that there is some interest in airing GFW once it is launched.
April 12, 2014
Since he is rumored to be in the process of looking for a new home in professional wrestling, rumors have it that Mick Foley could possibly end up joining Jeff Jarrett in his new wrestling promotion, Global Force Wrestling. The two of them are scheduled to be on a show together in Pennsylvania next month, and a meeting is expected to take place between the two former world champions.
April 12, 2014
One of the hottest free agents in professional wrestling is Elijah Burke, who still remains one of the best overall performers around. His name has surfaced in rumors recently as one of the people that will be joining Jeff Jarrett in the brand new Global Force Wrestling. Burke actually hung out with Jeff and Karen Jarrett this past weekend in New Orleans.
April 8, 2014
Since she has maintained a great relationship with Jeff Jarrett and Karen Jarrett, there are rumors that Brooke Tessmacher could be one of the performers that ends up signing with the new Global Force Wrestling. Her status with TNA has been up in the air over the last several weeks, and the Knockout has done very little to squash the rumors.
April 8, 2014
Now that Jeff Jarrett has announced his new wrestling promotion, even more rumors have surfaced about which wrestlers will be joining him. Former WWE star Shane Helms has popped up as a candidate, as he is still in great shape and has been working steadily on the independent wrestling circuit. He has enough name value to help Jarrett get Global Force Wrestling going.

Nothing really recreates the feeling of shame that you experience when that show you've been praising to all your friends and begging them to check out gets canceled. You must put up with the mockery and "I told you so"'s, even if you know for a fact the show was great. The real shame here is that everyone can't have the same tastes as you. Just keep telling yourself Fast Lane was a good show.
Unfortunately these shows are usually canceled for good reasons, whether we can admit it or not. Equally as unfortunate, however, is the fact that a handful of amazing shows gets lost in the abyss of TV show cancellations as well. These are the quickest canceled TV shows; which ones do you think didn't belong?

Survey: One in Four Texans Thinks Obama is a Muslim
Normally open July 4th only---the one day a year when partisan politics, religion, etc. are acceptable topics on this Board (within reason). The forum is now closed.

Survey: One in Four Texans Thinks Obama is a Muslim
There are still some voters who haven't heard of Rev. Jeremiah Wright:
(yeah right, the 23% who think so, believe a major U.S. political party is gonna nominate a Muslim to run against a war hero. And a large state such as Illinois is gonna elect an Islamic senator- su-u-re)
The psychological gymnastics required to simultaneously believe that Obama is a Muslim and that he belongs to a Church with a radical Black preacher is beyond my comprehension.
No A-rabs in The White House
I doubt some of those surveyed even know both things.
Ever seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre? It is Hallowe'en......
Almost everything's bigger in Texas but like with entropy, there's no free lunch......something had to give, and it was between the ears that the Texas Placeholder evolved.
True. Although there are no official restrictons and I am not aware of any widespread overt criticism or interference with any religion, I believe Romney, who would have been a much stronger candidate, being Mormon cost him the nomination.
Again, I am not aware of any restriction on practicing Islam. In fact, communites have been intimidated into bending over backwards to accomodate Muslims. However, with virtually all worldwide terrorists being committed in the name of Islam, I don't think you can blame people for being a little jumpy about things Muslim.
This is called (a) stereotyping, and (b) prejudice. These are natural human reactions, but that doesn't mean they're rational reactions.
Anyway, what about the domestic terrorism being committed by fundamentalist Christians (e.g. abortion clinic bombings)? Terrorism (not so frequent now) in Northern Ireland and England? Certainly not Muslims there.
I think the keyword here is "fundamentalist". In any religion, there are crazies who will go to all extremes to make their (generally wrong) point.
Do we think that the Dems could find enough support in their base to put forth a Mormon candidate, or on that score would they be just as intemperate?
Even if all terrorists were Islamic (which they are not), by no means are all Muslims terrorists. In fact, the future security of the world may depend on our winning and keeping the hearts and minds of the vast majority of Muslims who are not terrorists but who could have some natural sympathy for their co-religionists.
That is why it makes sense for communities to bend over backwards to accommodate Muslims, and it makes compelling sense for the US to adopt policies at home and abroad that take into consideration the need to keep the majority of the billion + Muslims in the world from supporting and embracing the most radical and violent elements of Islam.
If they would support a Jew for VP, certainly they would support a Mormon for President. I think the key would be that the person from one of these minority faiths not wear their religion on their sleeve. Remember, even JFK had to downplay his Catholicism when he ran for President.
I don't think concern over Romney being a Mormon was so widespread as to be labeled intemperate as party policy. I have no idea whether a Mormon would have been more, or less, acceptable to those of the Democratic persuasion.
I personally had no reservations about Romney, he was in fact my first choice. Nor do I know anyone who thought his religion was an issue but it was bantered about in the media to the extent that I do believe it was a factor in his withdrawal.
Just one guy's opinion.
As you well know, the percentage of Muslims that support Al Qaeda's agenda is very small. Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei all condemned the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Holding all members of a religious/racial/ethnic group responsible for the actions of a few is collective guilt, and we're on a slippery slope when we start doing that.
tandfman, I mentioned elsewhere that I have been closely associated for the past six years with the Iranian expatriate community, working toward exactly what you cited, education and understanding between the cultures to prevent another generation of potential terrorits. I have learned more about Islam and Muslims than I ever expected. . I am well aware that not all Muslims are terrorists and not all terrorists are Muslim. I have never said or implied that. They are just people with the same desire for a peaceful life as the rest of us. Most do not attempt to impose their religion on others but I do feel some expect unwarranted favoritism.
Abortion clinic bombings, IMO, are an entirely different motivation, having to do with personal conviction, not a specific religion.
The Black Muslim movement was a HUGE influence in the 60s and 70s. Muhammad Ali became one. I find it no large leap to believe someone of merit could have followed in their footsteps.
jazz, if you have read any of my post on the subject of Islam, you should know I do not project collective guilt to all Muslims, quite to the contrary. I was simply making the point that many uninformed people do exactly that.
I live in Austin. Texas doesn't claim us and we don't claim Texas.
Fine, I with you. I guess I would have worded it a little different. I'm not surprised that some people are a little jumpy about things Muslim, but I still don't understand it, because I view this type of prejudice as irrational. However, if the 9/11 hijackers had been American citizens, instead of foreigners, and Al Qaeda had majority support among the world's 1.3 billion Muslims the way the Palestinian groups do, then that type of reaction might be considered rational.

So I have my snow leopard 10.6.7 up and running perfectly. My issue now is to get nvidia drivers running and for it to boot by itself without my ModCD.
I am running:
Samsung 46" HDTV through mini HDMI/HDMI
ASUS Formula III
AMD Phenom 965 x4
Nvidia GTX 460
Patriot Inferno 120GB SSD (Exclusive for Mac)
Seagate 1TB HDD (Exclusive for windows)
Nawcom's ModCD
(iBoot available as well)
I can't get the system to boot with EFI, iBoot legacy or by itself. Only with Nawcom's ModCD. I gets hung up on the Apple logo while booting by itself. I tried running the boot with "-v -f" and it reads a crap load of files and then I guess where it gets hung up, it just goes to a black screen.
My BIOS is set to AHCI, S3 Standby and x15.00 CPU that way it isn't over 3GHz.
My windows hard drive is not connected during any of this, but I would like to have both connected by the end of all this so that I can either boot mac or windows from either HDD. Also my resolution is underscanned for the GFX side of things.

The uplifting drama, which makes its series premiere Monday, March 19 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), features Sutherland as a widower and single father haunted by an inability to connect to his mute 11-year-old son. But everything changes when he discovers that his son possesses the gift of staggering genius - the ability to see things that no one else can and the patterns that connect seemingly unrelated events.
Although it doesn't start till March, a preview will air Jan 25. (And we're wecapping it, so I needed a thread for linkage.)

North Carolina was searching for answers a month ago at 1-4 in the ACC and it appears to have found most of them on a steady climb up the standings. The Tar Heels will try to avoid a letdown after an emotional victory over Duke and win their ninth straight contest when struggling Wake Forest pays a visit on Saturday afternoon. North Carolina could move into third place in the ACC with a victory if Duke loses Saturday while the Demon Deacons look to snap a six-game losing streak.The Tar Heels won their last eight games by an average of almost 11 points, capped by the 74-66 victory over Duke on Thursday at home. North Carolina guard Leslie McDonald told reporters the streak means a lot because everyone doubted them early on and added, "We started buying in and we started listening to what coach (Roy Williams) wants us to do and now we're on a roll." Wake Forest was 11-3 overall when it handed the Tar Heels a 73-67 defeat on Jan. 5 and has dropped nine of 12 since.TV: Noon ET, ACC Network, ESPN3ABOUT WAKE FOREST (14-12, 4-9 ACC): The Demon Deacons lost their last six games by an average of 12 points while scoring 62.8 per contest and are allowing 71.9 in league play - last in the ACC. Codi Miller-McIntyre leads in the team in scoring (14.1), but is 2-of-25 from 3-point range in ACC games after going 11-of-36 in his first 13 outings. Travis McKie averages 11.1 points and Devin Thomas adds 11 to go along with a team-high eight rebounds after recording his fifth double-double Tuesday at Maryland.ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA (19-7, 9-4): McDonald snapped out of a 2-for-16 shooting slump by making 9-of-12 from the field and scoring 21 points against Duke. Point guard Marcus Paige averages 17 points to lead an offense ranked second in the ACC at 75.9 per contest despite being last in the league in free-throw percentage (62.3) and 11th in 3-point shooting (31.7). James Michael McAdoo is second in scoring (14.5) and boasts six double-doubles this season - three in the last six games.TIP-INS1. North Carolina F Brice Johnson is 22-of-31 from the field the last five games, averaging 12.2 points in that span.2. McKie is eight rebounds shy of becoming the eighth Wake Forest player to compile at least 1,600 points and 800 rebounds.3. The Tar Heels are first in the ACC in rebounds per game (41.2) and Wake Forest is fourth (36.8), but the Demon Deacons allow the most boards in the league (36.7).PREDICTION: North Carolina 80, Wake Forest 66

Garbage In, Treasure Out
Even in "good" data there is a lot of garbage. For example a person's name. John could also be spelled as Jon or Von (I have a high school sports trophy to prove it). Schmidt could become Schmitt or Smith. In Hungarian my name is Janos Kovacs. Human beings entering data make errors in spelling, phonetics, and keypunching. We also have to deal with variations associated with compound and account names, abbreviations, nicknames, prefix & suffix variations, foreign names, and missing elements. As long as humans are involved in entering data there will be a significant amount of garbage in any database. So how do we turn this gibberish into gems of information?
Get Your Data Butt Off The Couch and Move It
Data is everywhere. It's in databases and applications spread across your enterprise. It's in the hands of your customers and partners. It's in cloud applications and cloud servers. It's on spreadsheets and documents on your employee's laptops and tablets. It's in smartphones, sensors and GPS devices. It's in the blogosphere, the twittersphere and your friends' Facebook timelines. (more…)
Hierarchical Data – More Than Just XML
In a recent Aberdeen Group Analyst Insight paper it was identified that 50% of their survey respondents were currently integrating Hierarchical data sources with 13% planning to implement this capability in the next 12 months. But the changing trend is that of those organisations currently integrating XML data where nearly a third are using or are planning to integrate other Hierarchical sources with the need to integrate JSON coming out in the lead with COBOL records and Google Protocol Buffers close behind. Apache AVRO has not been integrated much currently but shows the biggest growth in planned integration and also number of projects. (more…)
From B2B Hype to Reality
For once hype could be a good thing. Well it is if you're reading the latest Gartner – Hype Cycle for Application Infrastructure published last month, in July; because in it you will see how two important technology trends – the areas of BGS (sorry, another TLA for you to learn – B2B Gateway Software (and it's even a nested TLA!)), and Managed File Transfer (MFT) have now made it out of the Trough of Disillusionment and up onto the Slope of Enlightenment. Why do I suddenly feel like John Bunyan's Pilgrim?
Anyway, the key points that Gartner identifies are that centrally managing B2B interactions provides:
- Economies of scale and deeper insight into the technical aspects of data integration, transaction delivery, process integration and SOA interoperability, such as consolidating, tracking, storing and auditing files, messages, process events, acknowledgments, receipts, and errors and exceptions.
The B2B communications process with your external business partners, suppliers, etc. is not a static process and you need to be able to have visibility of these communications for not only regulatory compliance and auditability issues but also to manage the dynamic process.
- A single point through which to troubleshoot B2B integration issues.
B2B Gateways are now a mature technology and like standards most organisations use a number of them. Integrating them provides significant benefit and enables the organisation to have visibility of their business relationships and transactions and also know where to go to when things go wrong and need managing as they definitely will.
- A central, reusable repository for external business partner profiles and Web services APIs. This is particularly valuable when dealing with a large number of external business partners and cloud APIs, and when multiple business units interact with the same partners or cloud services.
The number of business partners we all have to deal with is increasing rapidly as we outsource, subcontract, farm-out and generally rely more on external specialist organisations. Having visibility of these relationships and making the most from new integration methodologies and processes can generate great savings and also give visibility of our business exposure to these suppliers.
- Support for the myriad data formats, transport and communication protocols, and security standards.
As the old saying goes "I love standards, there are so many to choose from." Well our business processes are not getting any simpler; data standards are under constant change and revision with data formats becoming increasingly complex. So to be able to handle not just a few but all key formats and to be able to reuse previous transformation experience, utilise already developed libraries and lever new complex hierarchical data structures makes the difference between a stove-piped and soon to be redundant system and one that is flexible and supports new and ever changing business requirements.
As one of the vendors identified that can actively compete with offerings positioned to address the broader set of usage scenarios, Informatica's B2B Data Exchange solution not only supports the B2B functional requirements an organisation will have but also integrates this process and data into the wider internal data integration platform and management process. (Look at this presentation for the new 9.5 functionality of key new featues.)
So now the reality not hype of B2B solutions can be delivered.

Real-Time Risk Analytics with Ultra Messaging and Data Transformation
To follow up on our recent blog about B2B Data Transformation and Ultra Messaging Cache Option, we would now like to discuss the same topic within the Capital Markets.
One up-and-coming use case in the Capital Markets that we are excited about is front office real-time risk analytics on streaming market data, to decrease risk by informing traders in real time about potential changes to trading strategies, based on the most up-to-date data possible.
Remote Data Collection and Transformation – with Ultra Messaging Cache Option and B2B Data Transformation
Sometimes when I drive past an electronic tollway collection sensor, I wonder about the amount of data it must generate. I'm no expert on such technology, but at a minimum, the RFID sensor has to read the chip in your car, and log the date and time plus your RFID info, and then a camera takes a picture to catch any potential violators. Now multiply that data times the hundreds of thousands of cars that drive such roads every day, times the number of sensors they pass, and I'm quite sure this number exceeds several million messages per day.

ANNOUNCING! The 2012 Data Virtualization Architect-to-Architect & Business Value Program
Today, agility and timely visibility are critical to the business. No wonder CIO.com, states that business intelligence (BI) will be the top technology priority for CIOs in 2012. However, is your data architecture agile enough to handle these exacting demands?
In his blog Top 10 Business Intelligence Predictions For 2012, Boris Evelson of Forrester Research, Inc., states that traditional BI approaches often fall short for the two following reasons (among many others):
- BI hasn't fully empowered information workers, who still largely depend on IT
- BI platforms, tools and applications aren't agile enough (more…)
What it Takes to Be a Leader in Data Virtualization!
If you haven't already, I think you should read The Forrester Wave™: Data Virtualization, Q1 2012. For several reasons – one, to truly understand the space, and two, to understand the critical capabilities required to be a solution that solves real data integration problems.
At the very outset, let's clearly define Data Virtualization. Simply put, Data Virtualization is foundational to Data Integration. It enables fast and direct access to the critical data and reports that the business needs and trusts. It is not to be confused with simple, traditional Data Federation. Instead, think of it as a superset which must complement existing data architectures to support BI agility, MDM and SOA. (more…)
Introducing HParser
Today, Informatica is announcing the immediate availability of Informatica HParser, the first enterprise-class data parsing transformation solution for Hadoop environments. Available in a free community edition and commercial editions, Informatica HParser empowers organizations to maximize their Return on Data by extracting the value of complex, unstructured data traditionally under-exploited in the enterprise. Please view how Ronen Schwartz, Vice President of Products, B2B Data Exchange and Data Transformation explains what drove Informatica to build and release HParser. Why We Built HParser.
To understand why this is important to the Hadoop community, let's look at how organizations are using Hadoop today. In 2011, Ventana Research completed a benchmark research survey among 163 large scale data users. (more…)
Start Running Because The Data Tsunami Is Approaching
The phrase 'Data Tsunami' has been used by numerous authors in the last few months and it's difficult to find another suitable analogy because what's approaching is of such an increased order of magnitude that the IT industries continued expectations for data growth will be swamped in the next few years.
However impressive a spectacle a Tsunami is, it still wreaks havoc to those who are unprepared or believe they can tread water and simply float to the surface when the trouble has passed.

|Video: Combat casualty care for LEOs
Submitted by:
PoliceOne Senior Editor Doug Wyllie
Because the servicemen and women who came under fire at the Soldier Readiness Center at Fort Hood had been recently trained in self-care and buddy-care, the death toll was considerably lower than it could have otherwise been. In this video, SGM Kyle Lamb (ret.) speaks with PoliceOne Senior Editor about the value of having a practical combat casualty care kit while on patrol.
Doug Wyllie is Editor in Chief of PoliceOne, responsible for setting the editorial direction of the website and managing the planned editorial features by our roster of expert writers. In addition to his editorial and managerial responsibilities, Doug has authored more than 750 feature articles and tactical tips on a wide range of topics and trends that affect the law enforcement community.
On a daily basis, Doug is in close personal contact with some of the top subject-matter experts in law enforcement, regularly tapping into the world-class knowledge of officers and trainers from around the United States, and working to help spread that information and insight to the hundreds of thousands of officers who visit PoliceOne every month.
Doug is a member of International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association (ILEETA), and an Associate Member of the California Peace Officers' Association. He is also a member of the Public Safety Writers Association, and is a three-time (2011, 2012, and 2014) Western Publishing Association "Maggie Award" Finalist in the category of Best Regularly Featured Digital Edition Column.
Even in his "spare" time, he is active in his support for the law enforcement community, contributing his time and talents toward police-related charitable events as well as participating in force-on-force training, search-and-rescue training, and other scenario-based training designed to prepare cops for the fight they face every day on the street.

Last November Lone Eagle Land Brokerage sold 556 acres to the Lazy K Bar Land and Cattle Co. LLLP, owned by Jay Jutten. There was a 3.69-acre parcel with a house on T Road owned by Gail George. Lone Eagle contacted Ms. George and told her the property surrounding her home had been sold. They then told her the new owners were putting a feedlot next to her home and asked her if she would be interested in selling.
They made her an offer and she accepted. Lone Eagle then called her back and asked her to move the closing up to the end of 2012. All of this was done with the intention of removing an opponent and acquiring the home to be the office for Rocky Mountain Aggregate LLC and a Gravel Pit/ Strip Mine Operation.
In early February Rocky Mountain Aggregate posted the state required Public Notices 40 feet inside of their property line, beyond a no trespassing sign at the very end of T Road, clearly in a location that they hoped would not be seen. A Feb.18 2013 email from Zane Luttrell, the owner and operator of Rocky Mountain Aggregate, to the County's director of Land Use requested that the proposal be rushed and placed on the March Planning Board meeting agenda.
This land is zoned Agricultural and the application is for a heavy industrial Gravel Pit via a Special Use permit. The main issue when considering a special use permit is compatibility with the area. The Montrose County Master Plan describes Gravel Pits as "Heavy Industrial;" Agricultural Zoning can be used for Agriculture or Rural/Residential. Luttrellcame to our homeowners and locals meeting, where he admitted to an average of 120 full semi-truckloads of gravel per 11-hour operating day. These trucks of course come to the site empty, so this creates 240 trucks turning and entering T road daily from Hwy 550; one every 3 minutes, just for the gravel portion of the operation. In addition there are concrete and asphalt plants in the proposal, creating even more traffic and pollution.
He also claims that the operation will not be seen. In order to dig his proposed pit 25 inches deep and 10 acres to hide all of the equipment it would take over 16,000 semi truckloads, or 800 working days before the operation is behind his berm. In addition, the proposal includes the storage of 77,000 tons of topsoil on a four-acre area; imagine this loose, dry soil sitting atop a mesa with our far above average winds.
After hearing the local landowners' concerns and complaints, Luttrell revised his application to state 1.8 trucks an hour. These unrealistic numbers are just to push the application through and make it more palatable when he had already told us the reality of the volume of the operation. Keep in mind this is the scenic corridor between Montrose and Ouray and a wildlife area. These semi-trucks and the operation itself are located on the ridge above Moonlight Mesa and just west of Hwy. 550. Many people purchased property and their dream homes with these views and the peaceful nature of the area. The applicant says they want to be "good neighbors." Do you think this operation would make a good neighbor?
Keep in mind there is an operating gravel pit 1.1 miles south and another permitted gravel pit 1.4 miles south that has never been mined because there is no need for this gravel.
This monster project does not belong here; it affects hundreds of people negatively, for the good of one family.
If you are concerned or interested in this Special Use Permit Application, please attend the Planning Board Meeting on Thursday, April 25, at 6 p.m., at the Montrose County Fairgrounds. You may also comment to the Land Use Director firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you.

Ronald McDonald House donates to St. Mary's Guest House project
Above, Derek Kung, president of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Richmond, (far right) presents a check for $175,000 to build a pediatric wing at the St. Mary's Guest House. Pictured left to right are: Dr. Billy Lennarz, VP of medical affairs, Bon Secours Children's Services; Toni Ardabell, CEO of St. Mary's Hospital; Ilona Scanlon and Kathryn Knierim, both child life specialists at St. Mary's. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Richmond also gave $75,000 to establish three family rooms in the hospital.
"We are profoundly grateful to Ronald McDonald House Charities for these generous gifts," said Toni R. Ardabell, CEO of Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital. "It is invaluable not only to have financial support from Ronald McDonald House Charities, but also their expertise in providing a home away from home for patient families."
The house will offer families a quiet place to relax and recharge with 14 guest rooms, two family suites and common areas. The Bon Secours Richmond Health Care Foundation has raised $2.3 million toward their $3 million goal for construction of the guest house, which is set to open its doors in late fall 2013. For details, visit http://www.bsvaf.org/guesthouse.
"RMHC is honored to be a part of the heroic efforts of Bon Secours' pediatric health care providers," said Derek W.H. Kung, president of the board of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Richmond, VA, Inc. "We are proud to be teaming up with an organization and be part of a Richmond community that feels so passionately about the health and well-being of sick children and their families."

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

A new meaning for fried chicken
Is it heresy to say – in this bastion-of-tradition capital of the Old South – that it's time for Southern fried chicken to take a step back and make way for a new fried chicken king?
Count me among the new believers bowing to Bonchon Chicken's delectable double-fried bliss. Hand-brushed with signature garlic soy or hot sauce, flash-fried once and then again, the decadent drums and wings take "crisp" to a new level. If you're eating with a crowd and everyone bites in at once, be warned: you might need ear plugs to handle the din. > Read more.

But one doesn't have hardware floppy drive so I tried virtual Floppy drive & loaded the image but that software doesn't recognize that & gives message that there is no floppy drive.I made an experiment & tried virtual floppy drive on the PC where I already had hardware floppy drive. I disabled that & the software treated my Virtual Drive as A: drive.
Pls let me know how to install drivers of a floppy drive if there is no hardware floppy so that the software continues with my Virtual Floppy Drive. Pls mention if there are some registry related settings.

In Oregon in 2004, 9.7% of adults and 6.9% of children reported having current asthma. Together, these percentages suggest that approximately 325,000 adults and children in Oregon have asthma.
Oregonians living with asthma may be affected by healthcare disparities related to socioeconomic status, race or ethnicity, and geographic isolation. While varying in magnitude, these disparities exist because of limited access to primary care, lack of educational materials that are easy to read and culturally appropriate, and few community resources available to support individuals and families living with asthma.
Oregon Asthma Leadership Plan (pdf)
There is no cure for asthma, but it can be controlled with quality medical care and good patient self-management. The Oregon Asthma Program's mission is to advance policies, environments, and systems that promote health and prevent and manage asthma and other chronic diseases. The following priority areas have been identified to establish an infrastructure for addressing long-term asthma outcomes:
1. Partnerships to Address Asthma
2. Self-Management of Asthma
3. Public Awareness of Asthma
4. Healthcare Resources
5. Air Quality and Asthma
6. Schools and Asthma
7. Worksites and Asthma
The Oregon Asthma Leadership Plan outlines the statewide goals, objectives, and strategies needed to address and measure these priority areas. The Leadership Plan is a Statewide Call for Action to achieve positive long-term asthma outcomes and to improve the quality of life for all Oregonians with asthma.
The following groups have demonstrated their interest and support of a coordinated approach to ensure that all Oregonians with asthma receive optimal medical care, and have the information and skills they need to manage their disease. Endorsement of this Leadership Plan does not necessarily mean agreement with every strategy identified in this Leadership Plan.

Pawfect Recipe Measuring Spoon Set
For a limited time, for every Pawfect Recipe Measuring Spoon Set purchased, an extra $5 will be donated to care for street dogs around the world!
Millions of street dogs (often referred to as stray dogs) must survive on their own worldwide. Just like the travesty in Sochi, Russia, governments deal with this overpopulation through "extermination" such as poisoning, electrocution, and shooting. There are more humane and effective ways to address the overpopulation of street dogs. Getting these street populations to reasonable levels of healthy, sterilized, and vaccinated dogs increases the standard of living for these animals as well as decreases the spread of rabies amongst both dogs and people. In turn, this improves the dogs' image in the eyes of local human populations. When street dogs are sterilized and vaccinated they are healthier, and the people are happier. Local community humane education is another great way to better the lives of these animals. Humane Society International (HSI) and its partner organizations together constitute one of the world's largest animal protection organizations - backed by 11 million people. For nearly 20 years, HSI has been fighting for the protection of all animals through advocacy, education, and hands-on programs, celebrating animals and confronting cruelty worldwide.Click here to help Humane Society International!

OpenXenManager is a nice graphical environment for managing the Xen virtualization environment. You still need to use QEMU or virt-install/virt-manager to manager domains themselves, but OpenXenManager takes some of the guessing games out of things. Having said that, xm is still the way to go for the most part.
Before you install OpenXenManager, you'll need svn, which isn't baked into a default Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 installation. We'll just use apt-get to build subversion and some python frameworks required for openxenmanager:
sudo apt-get install subversion
sudo apt-get install python-glade2 python-gtk-vnc
Next, grab openxenmanager using subversion:
svn co https://openxenmanager.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openxenmanager openxenmanager
Hop into your openxenmanager trunk and fire it up:
cd openxenmanager/trunk
Now you have a GUI for managing domU. Good luck!
Tags: install openxenmanager, Ubuntu

That's the same approach the BBC are asking of almost every reimagining now. Making it hip, young and cool worked for Doctor Who so it must work for everything else right?
Nope. It just looks and sounds lame. If you want something more faithful to the Merlin legend, watch the flawed Excalibur. Which is a mess but makes Merlin's story more interesting than this lightweight stuff.
Same reason I don't watch Robin Hood, or Robin Hoodie as it's accurately known. For Robin Hood I'll watch the decades old Robin of Sherwood or Maid Marian and her Merry Men. Which is intentionally funny for kids and adults and doesn't pretend to be cool.

Right now, female polar bears with young cubs are frantically looking for food to gain the calories needed to nurse their cubs. This fall, Arctic ice was far below-average Arctic ice—delaying when polar bears could end their summer fast and hunt for seals.
But right now, we also have momentum on our side to put strong limits on carbon pollution fueling the climate change that is causing polar bears to suffer.
The Environmental Protection Agency proposed limits on carbon pollution that comes from future coal fired power plants—and coal-fired power is our nation's largest source of carbon pollution.
Help protect polar bears by editing and sending a message to the Environmental Protection Agency, voicing your support for limits to carbon pollution.
Right now, as the far below-average Arctic ice this fall delays when polar bears can find seals, female polar bears with young cubs will be forced tofrantically look for food to gain the calories needed to nurse their cubs.

Blizzard conditions shut down roads, including Fargo's 19th AvenueFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Blizzard conditions shut down 19th Avenue in Fargo.
By: Kevin Wallevand, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- It's been another brutal Monday for those of you trying to get around anywhere in the valley.
A Blizzard Warning shut down roads up and down the region, including some right here in the metro.
Unlike the big blizzard a week ago, the big problem was visibility, poor road conditions and blowing snow made driving deadly.
Rush hour traffic on 19th Avenue drove smack dab into a wall of white. Winds gusting over 40-miles an hour created zero visibility. Cars crashing into each other.
Thomas Salmen/Fargo Police Dept.: "Complete white-out conditions, in know one of the drivers said they stopped completely and they got hit a couple of times."
Travis Smedshammer was in the middle of it all. No injuries, but it left his car not driveable.
Travis: "nothing like a Fargo winter"
The whiteout conditions and the closure of 19th avenue re-routed traffic for those coming to Hector Airport. Some drove in from as far away as Fergus, zero visibility at times.
"Pretty close to white out, two white lines at a time."
And from the west, Valley City.
"A lot of cars in the ditch, probably a good day to stay home."
Another Monday morning a blizzard consumed. Five more Mondays and it is April. 19th Avenue remains closed tonight. Businesses like Buffalo Wild Wings and Applebees were able to be open this afternoon , because the closure on the 19th was located just past the air museum.

September 1, 2011
The University of Virginia has unveiled its newest building. The Hunter Smith Band Building was dedicated at a ceremony Friday afternoon in Charlottesville.
The state-of-the-art $12.7 million facility sits on Culbreth Road. It contains three levels of rehearsal halls, practice rooms, instrument and uniform storage and offices. It will house the University's Cavalier Marching Band, which does not have a dedicated practice facility, as well as the men's and women's basketball bands, the bands for the olympic sports, the wind ensemble, and the concert band.
In previous years, the marching band had to compete with athletic teams for indoor practice space. Now, members say they're happy to have a place of their own.
"It really means a lot that we have our own space," said third-year student Sally Golden. "We can really relax here and feel at home here, and we can really feel at home as part of the marching band at the University."
The building will include a large rehearsal room sized to accommodate 250 musicians, small ensemble rehearsal rooms, a teaching studio/individual rehearsal room, and band offices and support spaces.
The building is named after longtime university band supporter Hunter J. Smith.

God is the Time Keeper
"Why are you going to college at this stage of the game?" Perhaps you've been asked this question a time or two since you've made the decision to go to college. You may have even asked it of yourself. But as intimidating as this question may seem to most, with a change of perspective based on God's truth, it doesn't have to be intimidating in the least.
Life takes us in various directions that lead us to accomplish different things at different times. Some believe that if a person doesn't accomplish a goal during what they deem to be the appropriate time to do it, that it is pointless, will not yield the results it otherwise would have, or that it is simply too late.
But they are wrong! It is never too late to pursue your goals and live as God intended!
Ephesians 5:15-17 tells us, "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is."
We must learn to recognize God's perfect timing in our lives. Whether we're faced with having squandered time or just took an alternate route, going to college can be done at every age and stage of life -- especially when going to school online!
In order to be successful in online learning at any stage, you must know your academic strengths and weaknesses and adjust your strategy accordingly. Keep in mind that time away from school will not cause old habits to recede or new improvements to arise simply because you're at a different point in your life. No matter what stage of life you're in, ultimately, it's still you.
Don't simply begin the new semester. Review course guides for prospective classes prior to registering for them so you're prepared for the course load ahead of time. Discuss with your family and employer what level of expectation they anticipate for the upcoming months. Use this information to gauge the demand on your time, then plan your class schedule accordingly. Identify and openly communicate to your professor any areas with which you need extra help. Is it time management, reading comprehension, test anxiety? It's considered bad form to wait until after you've missed a deadline or received a low grade to explain your struggle. Take initiative as early as possible by seeking extra help from your professor, and take advantage of www.tutor.com and the www.onlinewritingcenter.com , which are free to Liberty students!
Remember, God is the time keeper, not the world! So be a good manager of the precious gift of time that God has given and work to the best of your ability! How is this accomplished?
By finding acceptance in God's timing and redirecting your attention to the tasks in front of you!
Philippians 3:13-14 says it best!"[...] forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
