New ECD Commissioner to Use Blind Trust
Gov.-elect Bill Haslam's new economic development chief will put his holdings in a blind trust and take other steps to avoid any conflict of interest with the state's TNInvestco venture capital program, reports The Tennessean.
Newly appointed state Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty is an experienced venture capitalist and until last week was a partner in the investment firm Tennessee Community Ventures. It's one of 10 private companies on the receiving end of $146 million in investment capital as part of the state's TNInvestco program -- a program that Hagerty, as commissioner, is charged with overseeing.
The Haslam transition team and the state Department of Economic and Community Development released statements this week in response to a reporter's questions, saying Hagerty and the incoming administration were taking steps to avoid any conflicts.
"Throughout the selection process, we knew of Mr. Hagerty's association with the group, and we are currently reviewing appropriate steps to ensure there are no conflicts," said Dave Smith, Haslam's transition team spokesman.

Time and Tide
It has been over a year since I posted to this blog, but some recent activity, spam though it was, poked me to update the site. Basically, all is well with me. My weight is stable, although I struggle to keep my iron and vitamin D levels at a reasonable level. All of my other labs are good. I wear a size 14 with forays into 12 territory and I feel blessedly normal.
A bit over a year out from my last surgery, I have healed very well. After 6 mos. I went to a new PCP and he looked at my scars and asked "How many years ago was that surgery?". The scars are very light, the miraculous "belly button" still remains, and I am so glad not to have the blockages anymore - those attacks were very scary and painful. Having a very flat stomach has also been great for my self-esteem in an odd way. I never realized how much having a big belly - and, later, a lot of skin - reinforced my sense of being a fat person. Now I'm a normal-sized, middle-aged woman with my mother and grandfather's big thighs. If I had one more plastic surgery, it would be to remove the excess skin from my upper arms, but nothing is planned for the immediate future.
On a sad note, Tess, my beloved nurse cat, became very ill in December and had to be put to sleep in early January. It was a tremendously difficult decision and a huge loss for all of us. We miss her very much.

Designed with children in mind, the 2go PC (a.k.a. the Intel Classmate 2) by CTL Corp. features a durable chassis and a beautiful 9-inch display, and it's available with Windows XP Home (which we're reviewing here) or a Linux operating system. You wouldn't want to rely on this $400 mini-notebook to do any heavy lifting, but it'll fulfill your basic educational needs, and its funky design has "kid" written all over it.
View our video hands-on with the 2go PC >>
Similar Design to the Classmate
Like the original Classmate, the 2go PC is ensconced in a rubberized case complete with a built-in carrying handle and a vinyl cover held on by Velcro. The two-toned dark- and light-gray chassis weighs in at 3 pounds and measures 8.7 x 7.3 x 1.5 inches. While it may be a tad heavier and thicker than the Eee PC and CloudBook models, it is certainly more durable—a must for any notebook that will likely be subjected to varying degrees of abuse.
An LED indicator panel is positioned between the two lid hinges at the top of the machine, and a handful of ports are located on the sides, including two USB ports, an Ethernet jack, headphone and mic jacks, and a 2-in-1 card reader. Missing is a video-out port, which means you're out of luck if you want to hook up to an external display. Two stereo speakers built into the lower front bezel lack volume but deliver decent sound quality for their size.
This model sports a brilliant 9-inch display that produces bold colors, wide viewing angles, and an overall bright picture. Despite the somewhat larger display, we still had the same problem that we encountered with the 7-inch mini-notebooks we've reviewed with windows extending beyond the screen. A 0.3-megapixel camera located on the display's upper bezel worked flawlessly, although the image quality was grainy.
The keyboard, black with orange function buttons, is too small for adult rapid touch typists but just the right size for kids, and it's spill-resistant too. The scrolling touchpad and mouse buttons are rubberized and water-resistant as well. Cursor control was fairly responsive, but we experienced occasional jumps and stutters, especially when there were several programs running at once.
2go PC Performance
Our 2go PC came with Windows XP Home Edition preinstalled. Its Intel Celeron M processor and 512MB of memory combined to produce a relatively weak PCMark05 score of 780 (only two ultraportables have scored lower, and a UMPC scored higher). We also noticed sluggish performance while running multiple applications, including slow program loads and momentary screen freezes. Adding more memory (it can take up to 1GB) would certainly help speed things up. Still, the 2go can handle your basic Web browsing, e-mail, and light office tasks, as long as you don't try to run too many programs at one time. Our preproduction model came with a slow (3,600-rpm) 30GB hard drive, but CTL informed us that the final version will include a faster (4,200-rpm) 40GB drive, which should also help boost performance.
The battery lasted a respectable 3 hours and 55 minutes with the power scheme set for maximum performance, which means you should experience upwards of 5 hours with the power scheme set for maximum battery life. The 2go PC managed wireless throughput speeds of 13.8 Mbps (15 feet) and 14.0 Mbps (50 feet), which is about average for an 802.11b/g Wi-Fi adapter.
The 2go PC may not be a stellar performer, but considering its intended audience and price, it doesn't have to be. Its rugged design, long battery life, and lightweight chassis all add to this mini-notebook's appeal. However, the 2go's small keyboard and lack of video input make it a better choice for kids and teens than for road warriors.

This summer, I was one of nearly 200 cyclists who toured D.C. one night in search of the city's most colorful murals in parking lots and back alleys.
The tour was co-sponsored by MuralsDC, a citywide project that trains young artists to paint mural masterpieces over tired, tawdry graffiti.
"It makes art so personal and accessible at once," says Laura Lyons, 20, a summer volunteer.

There's this moment in Jon Ronson's book The Psychopath Test that caught me completely off guard. It comes a little less than halfway through, shortly after he's outlined the 20-point psychopath checklist. I'd read through the list and although most didn't really apply to me there were a handful that gave me pause: "Item 3: ... proneness to boredom," "Item 13: Lack of realistic long-term goals," "Item 15: Irresponsibility."

One factor that has kept Poland somewhat insulated from the eurozone crisis is domestic consumer spending.

Poles have more discretionary income than ever before, and they're using it to buy things in swank malls cropping up all over the country.

When it comes to a healthy diet — especially for women, and especially after menopause — nutritionists, doctors, everybody it seems, will tell you: calcium, calcium, calcium.
Federal health officials recommend that women and men younger than 50 consume 1,000 milligrams of calcium per day. The recommendation goes up to 1,200 milligrams after age 70 for men and after menopause for women, when a major drop in estrogen causes bone loss.

Many of us experience heartburn, or reflux, from time to time — and when we do, we're quick to point the finger at heavy, fatty meals. But that burning, uncomfortable feeling may also be the result of what we're drinking: namely, coffee and other caffeinated beverages, and alcohol.
"Alcohol has a direct effect" on heartburn, says Kevin Ghassemi, a gastroenterologist at the University of California, Los Angeles. "Temporarily, of course."
Honolulu, on the lush, green island of Oahu, is paradise for surfers and sunbathers — but author Victoria Nalani Kneubuhl sets her mysteries in a darker, more sinister version of the tourist mecca.
"I think that juxtaposition between things that are horrible and terrible happening in a beautiful setting adds a lot of tension and depth to things," she tells NPR's Renee Montagne.

A Sumter man was denied bond, along with his tenant, Tuesday in the murder of an area repo employee.
Alton Shelley, 81, of 1684 Fletcher Drive in Sumter, was arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder after he allegedly shot 45-year-old Todd Showell, of Lee County, on Nov 20 when Showell and co-worker Gerald Lee, of Camden, were attempting to repossess a vehicle in Shelley's driveway.
Solicitor Ernest Finney told Judge L. Casey Manning that Lee and Showell arrived at Shelley's residence on Nov. 20 and saw a red Chevrolet GMC truck under Shelley's garage that matched the vehicle they were to tow. However, Lee told police that the vehicle identification number was covered with papers and it could not be verified. Because it matched and was the only one in visible sight in the driveway, Showell and Lee attempted to load the vehicle on their company tow truck.
Meanwhile, Finney said Denise Michelle Livingston, 44, of 1680 Fletcher Drive, allegedly told Showell and Lee that they had the wrong vehicle and then went inside Shelley's residence.
"They couldn't verify the information from Mrs. Livingston," Finney said. "She went inside Shelley's home. Shelley came out a few minutes later with a loaded handgun with seven shots in it. … The tow truck decided to leave. (Shelley) fired three shots. Two hit the vehicle and one hit Showell, piercing his lung and causing him to bleed to death in the truck 150 yards away (from Shelley's residence)."
Showell was driving the tow truck, while Lee was the passenger in the vehicle. Livingston, who was identified by Finney as a caretaker, friend and neighbor of Shelley's, was then said to be Shelley's tenant by her public defender Jack Howle.
"(Livingston) went inside (Shelley's home) to get his keys to move the papers to get the VIN," Howle told the court Tuesday. "(Shelley) pushed by her with his gun and fired. Her sole purpose was to get his keys and show them it was the wrong vehicle."
Livingston is facing two counts of accessory before the fact, which Howle said are "erroneous" charges.
Shelley's attorney Wade Kolb painted an up-standing picture of his client to the court by pointing out that Shelley has no criminal record and was married to his wife for 63 years before she died a year ago. He added that Shelley has medical problems, including arthritis, that cause him to be in a wheelchair.
Kolb had a different story for the court aside from Finney and Howle.
"Livingston came into his home saying, 'They are stealing your car.' They had no conversation at all," Kolb said. "(Shelley) went outside and said, 'Halt.' They didn't say anything. (Lee and Showell) then jerked the vehicle that was somewhat connected (as they tried to drive away)."
Several of Showell's family and friends were present in the courtroom Tuesday for the bond hearing. Kolb said the vehicle fell off its connection and knocked Shelley down when he then "unintentionally fired three shots."
"He was distressed and is distressed to learn that one of those bullets hit somebody," Kolb said.
Showell's family gasped for air in disbelief that Shelley was knocked down and fired by mistake in the incident.
"My client owns that property and owns that truck," Kolb said. "… It's a tragic accident. I think you need to understand that we disagree wholeheartedly that they had a right to be where they were."
Finney said after Shelley fired the gun, Livingston allegedly left the crime scene and went to her rental home and got the truck that Lee and Showell intended to repossess. She drove the truck into Shelley's backyard, where Sumter County investigators found it.
Shelley has completed a concealed weapons class and had authority to have a handgun in his home.
Manning denied bond Tuesday for Livingston and Shelley, requesting Shelley's medical records. The case will be revisited in 90 days.
Shelley and Livingston are being held at Sumter-Lee Detention Center.

Allright, before I get to the whole "denied by Zaffino" rant.. let me give you the important stem cell stuff.
This article that Karen Kaplan wrote for the LA times is really well done..
This from Alan Boyle has great info, an interview and a link to the report: http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/11/20/474428.aspx
OK. Dudes. And dudettes. Did you see Matt's weather blog-- all about BorderClash at Nike and the media race?
Did you see the photos?
Did you see ME?!
Of course not. And while I'm just teasing Matt, I'm not in his photos because I bailed after the media race. Gina and I were the top female finishers, so I hear. We held hands across the finish line, because yes-- we are that goofy.

MLB At Bat Is On Sale! But Buyer Beware!
MLB At Bat just announced a price cut that puts the price at a very affordable $2.99 (from $5) to get an impressive app with a slick interface and great features. Good deal, right? How thoughtful of you MLB to cut the price just in time for playoffs so us fans can get a taste of the action. WRONG.
Why is it a bad deal? Because you have to buy MLB At Bat again next year! The current version of MLB At Bat will expire after the end of the season which is in approximately the end of this month. Maybe even sooner. So if it's worth it to you to spend money on an app that will be useless in a few weeks time, by golly do it! But for the rest of us, Sportacular should work fine.
Does anyone else think charging users every year is a little ridiculous? Maybe I'm still in shock over the 6th inning of the NLCS and a little peeved about this whole baseball thing but I just don't find it good practice on MLB's part-they need to highlight this aspect a little better. But maybe after Game 2, I'll celebrate in utter jubilation by buying an app that will soon be worthless?
The MLB is again bungling this whole technology thing--remember they switched DRM for their videos back in 07 and users lost ALL previously purchased videos. DRM sucks but having things wrongfully taken away from you blows even more.
There are 13 comments. Add yours.
If anything, they should make it free now. And yes, it is ridiculous to have to buy it again EVERY year.
MLB is a pile of sh*t. Biggest scam artist in sports history. Not only is it boring as hell to watch a game, but if your hungry you will have to waste an extra $5 for a hot dog or drink. It is not surprising they want to charge money for a crappy app and have to pay for it every year.
You guys are kidding right? Do you REALLY think MLB is going to provide you unlimited streaming video FOREVER for your $4.99 purchase? Get real.
The MLB At Bat application is outstanding, and considering how much it costs for the cable/satellite baseball package or the online video baseball package it is a STEAL.
$5 per season for on demand video clicks of action as it happens is an excellent deal.
People can't just give away all their content, it costs money to produce. This "everything should be free" mantra is completely and utter nonsense. People have to make a living.
The App Store doesn't support subscriptions so this is really the only way for MLB to offer a subscription like service given the limitations of the App Store. They will just release a new version of the app each year. It makes perfect sense.
Anyone that has a problem with this doesn't know the value of the content and isn't the target audience anyway.
To a baseball fan paying $5 for what this provides in the palm of your hand is not a big deal. Think about it. You spend that much going to Starbucks to get some coffee. The different? The coffee will be gone within an hour, the MLB app will keep providing content for an entire baseball season. Thats 6+ months worth of baseball goodness.
Quit complaining.
It is ridiculous that one would have to buy it again every year. I'm sure that they catch some people :(
KeyTasks (which is an Outlook Sync utility) is $9.99. When you look at the fine print, that's $9.99 PER YEAR!! For a tasks app and synching utility!
I wish there was an easy way to identify these apps. Actually, maybe the iTunes Store should have the responsibility to make it clear?
The target audience are a bunch of American retards. The one reason the American economy was ever doing good is because smart business men provide for the stupid people. Now the economy is going down because stupid people cannot last forever
recharging for the app is a joke...oh, and GO PHILS!
There are at least 11 games left in the season, probably more. At $2.99, that means you'd be paying about 30 cents a game. The horror! How could they rip you off like that. I know times are tough, but really, it's three bucks. I hope they lower it again for the World Series.
When you have to pay every year for something it's called a subsription. Five dollars for an entire year of baseball is a ridiculously good subscription price.
If stupid people can't last forever, I hope for your families sake you have a good insurance policy because you won't be around much longer.
Amen. $5 for a years worth of baseball video on demand is a damn good deal for a subscription service. You explain that to the "everything should be free" morons that exist in this world. They just don't get it.
If you don't like it, don't buy it and STFU.
It's always the morons that have to insult to advance in a argument. I never directed anything towards you in my opinion, however you just had to include me an my family in yours. Loser
I, like a lot of other Americans, don't give a damn about MLB. Confucious say: "Baseball wrong, man with four balls cannot walk."
Yes, MLB may be ripping the public off but, as kalahari surfer said, the iTunes Store should be making it clear that it's a subscription that's needed for the app to continue to function.
It's an ok deal but think $5.99 for the season 162 games plus playoffs vs. $2.99 for just playoff does not seem so fair. It should be mmore like .99.
Carl's pretty much right. MLB has no way of monetizing the app via ads (too small, bad experience), so they have to charge. If you look at their other offerings (which are subscription-based, btw) the overall cost of the At Bat app is a relative steal.
I would assume that next year will be $9.99 for the year (since the original price only covered half of the season). Even at $10, that's 162 games plus the playoffs? On a per-game or per-day basis that's a miniscule cost.
I love reading about all of the whining and complaining about how charging for the app each year as new features and new (current) content are built into the product is wrong and how it should just be free. These people have no concept of economics or business and have been ruined by the "free" culture perpetuated by the web. You pay for your cell minutes each month. You pay for cable television. If you want real-time game data and streaming highlights delivered to your phone, you pay for that too. If you think that's unfair, then use the free WAP site at wap.mlb.com and stop whining. The experience pales in comparison, but if you want to be cheap, it's available to you.
Hey Casey, let's see TiPB turn off all of its ads - I've already seen them once, so it's greedy to continue to show them!
See how this works?
The MLB app is worthless without streaming audio. I'll pay if and when they release an official Gameday Audio app.

Last Man Standing stars Tim Allen as a father of three who works as a media spokesman for a company that caters to men. It's been called Home Improvement with daughters. But just because the formula is the same doesn't mean the shows are the same.
Even if Al's in both shows.
Home Improvement was a relatively progressive show about a young father adjusting to the changing gender roles. Last Man Standing has Mike Baxter as a conservative father fighting those changes. But Last Man is as much conservative propaganda comedy as the Colbert Report. So those on the left and the right who fear/trumpet it as most conservative show this side of Fox News, sit back and see why you're wrong.
Job Differences
Tim and Mike are both media spokesmen. But Tim does cable TV, which keeps him mostly in Detroit and near his family. Mike, as Outdoor Man, spent most of his time traveling to exotic locations to showcase products. Forced back home by his wife's promotion and the cancellation of the Outdoor Man catalog, Mike is forced to deal with the broken family he neglected.
The Kids
Consider the oldest kids on both series. In Home Improvement the oldest son Brad got into some trouble for vandalism in his early teens (caused by embarrassment by Tim hugging him in front of his friends). But he ended high school with the choice between pro soccer and college. Mike's daughter Kristin got knocked up at prom by a guy that later abandoned her to go off and do his own thing. She struggles when she tries to go back to college.
"An abandoned daughter chooses a runaway coward as a boyfriend. No fucking shit." – Carl Jung
Randy, the middle Taylor boy, went off to Costa Rica for social justice work. Middle Baxter daughter Mandy is a self-centered Kardashian wannabe.
Youngest Taylor son Mark goes goth for a while, but eventually chilled out. Youngest daughter Eve constantly tries to please Mike and mimics his angry conservatism. This will lead to an awkward Thanksgiving dinner freshman year of college when she brings her rugby playing 'friend' home.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Baxter. Eve has told me a lot about you.
Husband/Wife Relationships
In Home Improvement Tim and Jill are a 90′s couple that seek a more equitable home life. Jill also holds her own against Tim and is ready with a witty retort to his excess masculinity.
In Last Man Standing, wife Vanessa says keeping secrets from Mike is part of the success of their marriage and in the election episode makes a show of not revealing her choice. There are also constant references to her drinking, which is a good sign she's an alcoholic.
What do you mean it's only your second cask of wine of the night?!
Of Men And Mentors
Men are not born men, they are born boys. They require older men to show them the ways to manliness. Done right, it leads to great things. Done wrong, well.. you get Mike Baxter.
Tim Taylor's father died when he was eleven. He found mentors in Mr. Binford and his next door neighbor Wilson. Mr. Binford saw in Tim not only a show host, but the son he never had. Mr. Binford was there at the birth of every one of Tim's sons and gave Tim the loan to buy his house. Upon Binford's death Tim honored him with a 21 nail gun salute.
Mike's relationship with his father and brother is strained at best. Mike's sole mentor is his boss Ed Alzate. Ed is an admitted bad communicator, with four ex-wives and several estranged daughters. He is cheap and isn't above mooching off his underpaid employee Kyle. Mike hates neighbors, so even if Wilson were living behind him her would never speak with him.
Das Capital
The highly political Mike Baxter refers to socialism as "the s word" in his house and bags on Obama (despite voting for him). But as stated before, the true representative of capitalism is cheapskate Ed.
On Home Improvement Wilson mentions he broke up with his first girlfriend when her neo-Marxism and his laissez-faire capitalism didn't meld. Yet Wilson is the most giving person on the show, always willing to lend a tool, a hand or an ear. With his advice he could build a media empire that would bankrupt Oprah, but chooses giving it away to whoever needs it.
Tim vs. Mike: The Two Visions of America
Mike and Tim represent two side of America: one of progress,and one of tradition. In 1776 Mike would be grousing about those militant traitors while Tim would accidentally cause the Boston Tea Party while trying to hot-wire (hot-sail?) a British ship. In the early 19th century Mike would grouse about the cramped and dirty industrial cities, while Tim would venture out with the pioneers. Late 19th century Mike would complain about all those immigrants while Tim would look at the railroads they built and think "More Power"
Also: "Uh Oh"
Home Improvement was Tim Allen's lighthearted comedy of the 90s, a time with a great economy and social progress. Tim's antics reminded us not to get too ahead of ourselves in an age of abundance.
Last Man Standing serves as a greater warning of our conservative excess. America's returned from ten years of war abroad to find ourselves adrift and our homes, if not foreclosed, in disorder. Ultimately the answer lies neither in the Tea Party (represented by Mike) nor the far left (represented by many characters). Like Home Improvement before it, Last Man Standing is the story of America, and Mike Baxter is America.

At halftime of Tuesday's game at Ron Milam Gymnasium, it looked like Muskogee's win streak was over.
The Lady Roughers trailed Owasso at intermission 41-25 in Frontier Conference action, but turned things around in the second half, outscoring the Lady Rams 57-30 to win 82-71 to extend their streak to 12 consecutive games.
"Every time, we've had to come in at halftime and lay down the law," said MHS coach Doyle Rowland. "I told them 'you gotta keep the ship on course and can't get complacent and do your own thing and expect to pull it out.' They told us at halftime they were going to play better defense and take care of the basketball, play Rougher basketball."
The first-half numbers showed why the Okrankings.com Class 6A No. 2 Lady Roughers were in a 16-point hole. Muskogee (17-2, 8-2) shot 28 percent (9 of 32) while Owasso (7-11, 4-8) hit on 55 percent (12 of 22) of their shots.
The second half saw the Lady Roughers convert 18 of 26 shots (69 percent) while the Lady Rams took only 19 shots and converted nine of them (47 percent).
"We knew how we played in the first half," said senior Alexus Wilson, playing her final regular-season home game. "We just sat there in the locker room and thought what we needed to do and came out and did it."
On Senior Night, it was three seniors that led the comeback — starting with Kelsey McClure, who poured in 18 of her game-high 27 points in the second stanza. Mari Jackson, who finished with 22 points, also scored 18 in the second half while Wilson scored 10 of her 13 points in the half.
Owasso had four players in double figures, scoring all but two of their points. Dru Clark had 26 points on the evening while Kylie Penning had 20 points, Taylor Koelsch had 12 and Taylor O'Dell had 11 points.
The comeback didn't begin in earnest until late in the third quarter when the Lady Roughers trimmed a nine-point deficit to two, 55-53, heading into the final quarter. When Jackson drained a 3-pointer and made the free-throw after being fouled on the shot, the comeback was complete as Muskogee took its first lead of the game at 57-55.
"We need a spark like that," said McClure of Jackson's four-point play. "It was all the seniors on the floor when we began the surge and we didn't want to lose that last home game."
After an Owasso turnover, the Lady Roughers made the score 60-55 on an old-fashioned 3-point play by McClure. Wilson would continue the push with back-to-back baskets and Aaliyah Wilson, Alexus' sister, drained a three to give Muskogee a 67-55 advantage and Owasso never got closer.
"Our defense makes our offense," Rowland said. "We came out and got a couple of turnovers and rebounded the basketball and got into our flow. When we get into their flow, we can play."
After the game, all the seniors, boys and girls, were honored in a special ceremony and McClure, a four-year starter along with Alexus Wilson knew what it meant to win that final game in a Muskogee uniform.
"Words can't explain the way I feel," she said. "It feels good that the deficit we were in, we came out of it and pulled it together as a team. We didn't want to go out like that."
Owasso 65,
Muskogee 46
The Owasso Rams, No. 3 in the Class 6A boys poll, opened the game with the first nine points and never looked back in defeating Muskogee on Tuesday.
The Roughers (8-11, 4-6 Frontier Conference) did trim the opening deficit to 12-7 but watched as Owasso (15-3, 10-2) ended the first quarter with a 9-3 run to grab a 21-10 advantage.
By the time the two teams went to the locker room at intermission, the Rams had increased their lead to 35-18.
"Owasso played good," said MHS coach Josh Berry. "We didn't come out ready to play and that's the bottom line."
The second half was not much better as Owasso outscored the Roughers 22-11 to remove all doubt, taking a 57-29 lead into the fourth quarter.
Two Roughers finished the game in double figures with Tramal Ivy scoring 15 points while Anthony King had 10 points. Shane Milton led the Rams with 20 points and Jaylen Lowe had 17 points.
Owasso had two players crack the double-figure plateau with Shake Milton scoring 20 points and Jaylen Lowe adding 17 points.
"We need to get better for tomorrow," Berry said. "We need to work and get better for Friday."
Dexter McGriff and Lui Lee, all seniors who have seen light action this season, played their final game at MHS.

Doncaster manager Dean Saunders has signed defender Andy Griffin on a deal until the end of the season.
Griffin initially signed for the League One club on a short-term contract to take him up to the start of 2013.
The 33-year-old will provide Saunders with vital experience during the second half of the season given his versatility.
"He's a good, experienced player who can play left or right-back," said the Rovers boss.
"He talks to the other players and gives them his opinion on how the game is going.
"He found himself without a club and he's signed for us for not a lot of money."
Griffin made 11 appearances for Doncaster in all competitions during the first half of the campaign.

Three quarterbacks competing for the starting job will show their skills tonight at the Greenville Lions' Red-White spring football game.
The intrasquad contest starts at 6 p.m. at T.A. "Cotton" Ford Stadium. It caps off three weeks of spring training.
Matt Riskey, Spencer Gilbert and Trevon Heard will take their turns operating the offense at quarterback.
"We've got a little quarterback battle going on," said Lions coach Marvin Sedberry.
Riskey is the only one of the three with previous varsity experience at the position. Riskey ran for 33 yards on 10 carries last season, plus was 6-of-24 passing for 71 yards and one touchdown.
Gilbert will line up with the Red team and Heard and Riskey will man the White squad.
Most of the No. 1 offense will play for the Red team, according to Sedberry, facing the No. 1 defense on the White team. The second offense will be on the White team facing the second defense with the Reds.
"JVs will be sprinkled in with those No. 2s," said Sedberry.
The Lions will be suiting up about 76 players in what will resemble a real football game.
"We're going to do everything," said Sedberry. "The only thing we won't do is allow blocks. We can't block a kick. Everything else will be live."
It'll be the Lions' 16th day of practice since starting spring ball on April 26.
"I'm kind of hoping the kids are looking forward to the game because we are," Sedberry said of the Lions' coaching staff.
The Lions, who are allowed 18 spring days, lost one to inclement weather on Tuesday.
"We could make it up but we won't," said Sedberry.
Sedberry said the spring practices have been "pretty good on the days when it wasn't too hot."
"We only had one bad Monday practice," he said.
He said the Lions have been getting good leadership from some of the players who'll be seniors in the fall. He praised the work of linemen Dillon Stevens, Hunter Smith, Mitchell Wheat and Chance Hamilton, plus returning tight end Cipriano Gonzales and running back Tyler Matthews. Matthews is the leading returning rusher for the Lions with 404 yards and one touchdown on 88 carries in 2012.
"All of the offensive kids have been doing pretty good," Sedberry said.
Sedberry also praised defenders Natrone Hawkins, Tyrik Anderson, Jacob Mitchell and Datristion Fite.
The Lions will kick off the season on Aug. 30 at Princeton as they hope to break a string of three straight winless seasons.

In regard to recent Ohio polling, I can not understand how Obama still leads in most of the polls here in my state.
It is inconceiveable how fellow Ohioians can vote for a guy who is so anti-fossil fuel that it leaves me dizzy thinking about it! As was the White House Staff's response a year ago to my query about fossil fuels. While now in Ohio, do you hear Obama talk about this issue? No, due to the fact that he is so weak on fossil fuels.
Furthermore, other than lumber, agricultural, metals, recycle and generic-making forms of products, oil shale makes a vast, vast amount of products other than just gasoline or natural gas.
And, we have much oil shale resources here in North America…..Obama taxes the fossil fuel industry heavily as well. Good luck with the Utcia Oil Shale Formation discovered in almost half of our State, including Cleveland, if Obama is re-elected.
Thus, voting for Obama is paramount to higher prices for everyone and no jobs' creation or very little if any.

Development days
Regarding the Nov. 24 article "Wake revisits early dismissals," a few comments left me dumbfounded: "The goal here is to do what's best for professional development," and "We thought on Wednesdays people (teachers) are fresher and more focused."
Is the school system set up for the students or is it set up to make sure that teachers get the best possible setting for professional development? Teachers should be seen as professionals in education. Their development should be self-initiated and should be continuous (not simply on the six designated early release days). Any teacher worth his salt will take worthy ideas and best practices into the classroom regardless of whether the county's professional days are Wednesdays or Fridays. The day becomes important only when it interferes with student learning and family culture.
I can see benefits and challenges to both options for early release professional development days, but to shape the decision around the teacher is not treating that teacher as a professional; it is putting the focus in the wrong place, not on the children.

Bruno And Alessandra Ambrosio Make A Hot PairJune 5th, 2009
Here's the smoking hot Alessandra Ambrosio and the fabulous Bruno having a gay old time in the July issue of Marie Claire UK. Now normally I'd be pretty damn peeved that some dude invaded a sexy Alessandra Ambrosio photoshoot, but considering this is Bruno, and that he's just as fun to look at as Alessandra, I think I'll make an exception. Besides, all he really does is make Alessandra look that much hotter. Oh, and in case you haven't seen the hilarious Bruno trailer, head over here to check it out. Enjoy!

Libertyville police have charged two men and a juvenile in connection with five residential burglaries that occurred around the village between Nov. 4 and 7.
Anton Herres, 19, of 203 Water St., Apt. 201, Waukegan, was charged with five counts of residential burglary, a Class 1 felony, and one count of burglary, a Class 2 felony.
Joseph M. Smith, 20, of 910 Fairlawn Ave., Libertyville, and a 16-year-old juvenile also were each charged with five counts of residential burglary, a Class 1 felony.
In addition, the juvenile from Mundelein was charged with one count of theft and possession of stolen property.
The homes were occupied at the time, and entry was made through an unlocked exterior door. Personal electronic devices and money were taken from the homes.
Both Herres and Smith were issued arrest warrants with a bond of $250,000 on Tuesday.
The juvenile, who also was implicated in the Waukegan burglaries, is held at the Depke Juvenile Center in Vernon Hills.
"Through hard work and determination from our investigators and the assistance from the Northbrook and Waukegan police departments, we were able to bring these cases to a successful resolution," said Police Chief Clint Herdegen.

Suzhou is a famous city throughout China for its gardens. In fact, a famous quote goes Shang you tiantang, xia you Suhang, which means "in heaven there is paradise, on earth there is Su[zhou] and Hang[zhou]. Historically a wealthy city, due in part for its large silk industry, many of its residents built classical gardens that are preserved and open to the public today. In fact, nine of the gardens are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Sight list.
Suzhou is located on the Yangtze River Delta in Jiangsu Province. Shanghai lies just 1.5 hours (by car) to the east, Zhejiang Province is to the south and Taihu Lake is on Suzhou's west side.
Getting There:
Most visitors go to Suzhou from Shanghai for the day. There are a number of ways to do this.
- Private car/taxi/tourist bus: Suzhou is just 1.5 hours away from Shanghai by expressway. Note, heavy traffic is often a problem so the train might be a more comfortable option.
- Train: There is a large number of trains traveling between Shanghai and Suzhou. The trip takes only 45 minutes.
- Boat: It is possible to go between Hangzhou and Suzhou on the Grand Canal. The boat departs at 5:30pm (both cities) and arrives the next morning at 7:00am.
- Population: 5.7 million
- Telephone Code: 0512 (when dialing from overseas, drop the first zero)
- Weather: The weather will be very similar to Shanghai's: Average Rain Days/Month, Average Temperatures.
- Recommended time for a visit: If you can spare two days with an overnight, then of course you'll be able to enjoy a more leisurely visit. However, most visitors just go for the day from Shanghai.
Getting Around:
Aside from the usual buses and taxis, there are a number of pedicabs operating in Suzhou as well as the surrounding water towns. Be sure to negotiate your fare before you get in and stick to your guns as they've been known to charge more once you arrive. Best to have the exact fare (that you pre-negotiated) ready to hand him when you get off the cab. It's a great way to see the city from the level of a pedestrian, without the sore feet.

There are 99,5041 people living in Carlsbad and statistically speaking, you have a 1 in 2494 chance that your home will be burglarized. To help enhance your home security, there's one choice to make. Your home can be 3 times less likely3 to be targeted by burglars, thanks to a home security system, which you can have professionally monitored by ADT.
There are times when the expense of an ADT monitored security system can cause people to be hesitant about the investment, but it shouldn't. A burglary usually is a greater expense than a year of home security monitoring from ADT. Carlsbad loses an average of $877,800 every year because of home invasions. This means that you stand to lose $2,200 if your home is robbed, which could potentially cover about 5 years of basic monitoring. It's time to seriously consider installing a home security system with ADT monitoring.

Calculus Materials
The main idea for most of the calculus material is simple: students use Excel to fit curves/functions to real data (using at most one day of class time) on global average temperature, grain consumption, atmospheric CO2, etc. (simple instructions for curve fitting in Excel are also provided). Once we have the functions, calculus tools can be used to answer important sustainability questions. Please contact me about if you have any questions, suggestions, or comments: tpfaff(at)ithaca.edu
The table below contains individual data sets in an Excel sheet (with citations for data), related assignments, and calcuus skills used in the assignments. The assignments do not use all the data that is available and hence there is plenty of opportunity to develop other assignments. Also, the all data file includes other data sets than those listed separately and may be more up to date than the individual files.

The economic contribution of PhDs
Casey, Bernard. (2009) The economic contribution of PhDs. Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, Vol.31 (No.3). pp. 219-227. ISSN 1360-080XFull text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13600800902974294
This paper looks at what the value of a doctorate is, both to employers in particular and to society and the economy at large. Given the emphasis many universities and funding agencies/governments are putting upon the development of PhD programmes, this is an issue deserving attention. The paper tries to show how two separate but interrelated questions 'What is a doctorate worth?' and 'Is there a justification for society to subsidise the production of doctorates?' might be answered. It considers the argument that the production of PhDs can generate benefits for wider society – both because the production process itself generates basic knowledge from which all can take advantage and because the outputs of that process help boost the productivity of those with whom they work. In other words, the gains to society as a whole might be greater than the sum of gains to PhD holders and their immediate employers. Evidence is reviewed.

Swollen lymph nodes usually occur as a result of exposure to a bacteria or virus. Less commonly, swollen lymph nodes are caused by cancer.
Your lymph nodes, also called lymph glands, play a vital role in your body's ability to fight off viruses, bacteria and other causes of illnesses. Common areas where you might notice swollen lymph nodes include your neck, under your chin, in your armpits and in your groin.
Swollen lymph nodes may become inflamed. This is known as lymphadenitis (lim-fad-uh-NI-tis). Treatment for lymphadenitis depends on the cause. In some cases, the passage of time and the use of over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers and warm compresses may be all you need to treat swollen lymph nodes. For more serious cases, treatment of swollen lymph nodes involves treating the underlying cause.
