Press Release
Fall 2011 Men's Soccer: PSU Schuylkill
September 14, 2011
Sophomore Godwin Omo-Ekpadi scored his first goal of the season against the Lions
SCHUYLKILL HAVEN, Pa. – Senior Patrick Kehoe (Oley) had three assists to help the Pennsylvania College of Technology men's soccer team to a 5-1 win over Penn State Schuylkill. Sophomore Christopher Brennan (New Hope) scored two goals as the Wildcats outshot Schuylkill 37-1. The win is the first in the Penn State University Athletic Conference for the team that improves to 3-1-1 overall and 1-0-1 in conference.
Sophomore Tristan Smith (Bermuda) got things started netting a goal from Kehoe in the 11th. After Brennan scored in the 22nd, sophomore Godwin Omo-Ekpadi (Norristown) gave the team the 3-0 lead when junior William DeAngelo (Dallas) sent him a strong pass to score.
The Lions earned a penalty kick with less than a minute in the half to chip away at the lead 3-1, but Penn College came back in the 62nd when Brennan scored followed by a goal from sophomore Phil Bair (Franklintown) in the 68th to take the win comfortably. Kehoe assisted on both goals.
Next up, the Wildcats take on cross-town rival Lycoming College for the second annual Battle for the Lumber on Saturday, Sept. 17. The match is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Balls Mills Soccer Complex.

Finding Your Way with GpsDrive
Now that you have some maps, it's time to play around with your new toy.
GpsDrive is well supplied with tool tips, so we only cover the highlights of the display here.
Right below the map in the main window, GpsDrive displays navigation data. Distance to the next waypoint and current speed are obvious. To the right of those is some information on waypoints, mobile targets visible on your friend's server, and the current time according to the GPS receiver.
To the left of the distance to waypoint display is GPS information. With no GPS, a rotating globe is shown. When a GPS is present, the globe is replaced by a signal strength meter for visible satellites. Its background is red if there is no fix; green if there is a fix.
To the left of the GPS data is a compass. The top of the compass indicates your current heading or the course you are sailing. The black pointer gives a bearing to the next waypoint.
A lot of settings are handled in the Preferences menu, which you can select from the left side of the main window. You already know about selecting your units of measure. If you are operating with an older computer, you may want to limit the amount of CPU time GpsDrive takes up, and turn off shadows, which require extra processing to draw.
In the second settings tab you will find some GPS-related settings. For example, you may elect to have GpsDrive access the receiver directly instead of through gpsd.
The SQL tab lets you select certain types of waypoints to include or exclude from the display. This lets you organize waypoints into categories and decide which ones to display. I use this with a set of waypoints for my preferred gas station chain. I can turn them on or off on the display, depending on whether I am looking for gasoline or not.
Once you have maps in hand, there are several controls you can use to manipulate them. For areas where you travel a lot, you probably have maps of several different scales. There are several ways to select between them. The first is to check Auto best map in the lower part of the left menu. This tells GpsDrive to select the best (largest scale) map available for the current location.
Below that, right above the area map, you can check on street or topographical maps, or both. With both checked, GpsDrive moves between the two types, which gives you the most coverage for the maps you have.
Turn Auto best map off and you have several ways of selecting scale. In the upper-left area of the main window, you will find two arrows. Click on the left arrow to move to a larger-scale map, on the right to move to a smaller-scale map. You also can move the slider on the very bottom-right side for the same effect. This sets the preferred scale, and GpsDrive stays as close to that scale as it can.
Within a given map, you also can zoom in and out. Use the two magnifying glass controls on the upper left of the main window. The current magnification is indicated in the upper-right corner of the main map. GpsDrive keeps the same level of zoom when it changes maps, which can be disconcerting.
First, make sure you have waypoints turned on and that you are using SQL or not, as appropriate.
There are several ways to set waypoints. You can hand-edit them into the text file or MySQL database, you can use the program gpsbabel to convert from other file formats or you even can download them from Wayhoo.com.
In position mode, you can enter a waypoint at the current position by pressing the X key, or you can enter a waypoint at the current mouse pointer with the Y key. You always can edit the parameters before you commit the waypoint.
Wardriving is the sport of driving around searching for Wi-Fi access points. For more, see the article "Discovering Wireless Networks" in the September 2003 issue of Linux Journal.
GpsDrive comes equipped with a friends server. This lets several people display each others' positions on their systems. You can run your own, or you can use any one you can find on the public Internet. This is real-time plotting of multiple vehicles' positions. This makes GpsDrive a great adjunct to a car rally or search-and-rescue mission.
If a user falls off the Net temporarily due to Wi-Fi signal loss, the user's last known position is displayed. Once he or she is back on the Net, displays are updated in seconds.
About the only thing missing from GpsDrive is street-level routing. To do this, the program needs an open source of street-level data. Commercial data usually runs in the area of 10,000 Euros, which is a showstopper. If you know of such a data source, please let the author know.
gpsdrive street level routing data
Wouldn't the files freely available at
http://roadmap.digitalomaha.net/maps/ provide an open source of street-level routine data?
see also:
gpsdrive street level routing data
Nice if you live in the US! Here you have to pay for those sort of maps.
http:/www.openstreetmap.org has a project running to produce free streetmap data & it needs gps tracks and people with local knowledge. Please take a look to see how all of us can help by working on where we live, work or visit.
How to load the nasa map?
I've read the README, but I can't seem to get the nasa satellite map to load. Maybe a bit of help from you (since you got it to work) would be valuable for people reading this article. These are the steps I took:
1. Downloaded MOD09A1.E.interpol.cyl.retouched.topo.3x21600x21600.gz
2. gunzipped it, and moved it to ~/.gpsdrive/nasamaps/top_nasamap_east.raw
3. Start gpsdrive, and "misc menu" -> "maps" -> "import map"
4. I've tried various combinations of coords and screen x/y values, but every time I "browse filename" during step 1, I get a "mapfile could not be loaded".
This is using gpsdrive 2.09 _without_ a gps receiver attached... just in simulation mode. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
i want to get maps to study
This is APRS like.
Well, sort of. This is sort of APRS like. APRS is a ham radio "automatic position reporting system" that has been around for some time now (see www.aprs.net and for an interesting application: www.findu.com). In the bowles of the sites, you can find maps that may be compatable. The main feature aprs has that we don't have here, are that positions in APRS can be sent via ham radio, and there are other thing aprs will do such as 2 way messaging, and that arps is also suitable to aid in disaster situations. I am not saying that one is the better than the other, rather, both has had some good development and both systems may be able to benefit from the work already done on the other.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Monday, the Dunwoody City Council voted to join a Perimeter-area traffic improvement alliance which will focus on synching traffic lights in the area.
The council approved a memorandum of understanding Monday with the City of Sandy Springs and the Perimeter Community Improvement Districts for the implementation of a Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) grant.
GDOT awarded a three-year Regional Traffic Operations Program grant valued at $2.78 million to the cities of Dunwoody, Sandy Springs and the Perimeter Community Improvement Districts (PCIDs) to address traffic management in the Perimeter Center area.
"Partnering with the Georgia Department of Transportation, the City of Sandy Springs, and the Perimeter Center Improvement Districts allows us to improve traffic signal operation from the regional perspective," said Mayor Mike Davis, in a press release. "By working together, we will address critical issues to improve the travel experience of all commuters driving through the Perimeter Center area."
The Regional Traffic Operations Program will manage the traffic signals along significant corridors throughout the Perimeter area. Through the Regional Traffic Operations Program grant, the city will work with its partners to determine existing operational deficiencies; provide signal timing; evaluate the use of advanced signal timing techniques, such as traffic responsive and traffic adaptive applications; and provide regular maintenance of the signal timing hardware, the city said.
"Each of these improvements addresses key concerns identified by our community in the Comprehensive Transportation Plan adopted by Dunwoody's City Council last year," said Public Works Director Michael Smith. "The City of Dunwoody appreciates the Georgia Department of Transportation and Board Member Brandon Beach's support for improving the transportation infrastructure throughout Dunwoody."
This grant comes on the heels of a series of important signal upgrades and improvements recently completed by the Georgia Department of Transportation throughout Dunwoody. Last spring, GDOT coordinated the signal timing for nine signals located on Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Mount Vernon Road. The newly adjusted signal timing now allows motorists to better move along these corridors by harmonizing successive intersections.

Kindred joining Lewis in glory bid
12:00pm Saturday 6th September 2008 in Sport
SWIMMER Sascha Kindred will be looking to add another chapter to his impressive international career when he competes at his fourth Paralympics in Beijing.
Kindred has enjoyed a prolific decade in the pool with four Paralympic, three World and eight European Championship gold medals to his name.
Starting tomorrow, he will be competing in the 200-metre individual medley, 100m breaststroke, 50m butterfly and 50m freestyle in the Chinese capital's famous Water Cube.
The Hereford-based athlete made his Paralympic debut in Atlanta in 1996 but starred four years later in Sydney with two golds, a silver and bronze, breaking a Paralympic record in the 100m breaststroke and a world record in the 200m individual medley.
Kindred has won more than 350 medals at British championships and currently holds eight world records.
He will be joined in the Far East by his partner Nyree Lewis, 27, an equally successful swimmer with her eye on medal glory in Beijing.
The pair are known as the golden couple of disabled sport and have won 16 Paralympic medals between them.
Lewis, who won gold in the 100m backstroke in Athens on her 24th birthday, competes in the 200m individual medley, 100m backstroke, 100m breaststroke and 400m freestyle.
Set for her third Games, Lewis has won over 200 medals at British championships and broken 20 national records.
The Leominster Kingfisher Swimming Club star insists she won't settle for anything less than a clean sweep.
"I want to retain the golds I won in Athens and take it from there," she said. "I have three other events as well and I hope to do just as well in them too.
"Winning gold is the most important thing for me — it is why I put in the hard yards and it is the ultimate sporting achievement.
"I won my first gold in Athens in 2004 on my 24th birthday but I want to go faster this time in Beijing and do even better."

I gave in to AMD. I am currently using RequireJS on a project which uses quite a few different scripts including MooTools, Kalendae (which is amazing by the way) and the Facebook SDK. By using AMD I have separated the whole project into manageable modules which are loaded in parallel with each other. I am loading MooTools and the Facebook SDK from their respective CDNs too for an even faster site.
While writing this I realized that everything I was using had to be accessed in different ways. By this I mean MooTools is in the global object along with Kalendae and the
FB object, but every AMD module I wrote was completely localized and passed it's self around without going into the global object. If you think about it there are three ways to get your lovely class back to they script that requires it. The most used is probably the global object, stick a value in there and everything can see it. I will let you draw your own conclusions about how good that is.
The other two methods are CommonJS modules and AMD. To define and pass back your class with AMD you would use the following.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
That example involves no global object pollution but still gets the job done and is my favorite method by far. A similar effect can be seen with CommonJS modules which are used for almost everything based on node.js.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
CommonJS modules may seem a bit simpler but I still think AMD is better for browsers due to its ability to load scripts in parallel. CommonJS is more suited to things like node.js in my opinion. Now what if you want your script to work everywhere and be truly portable. You are going to need to export to all three places. The global object, AMD and CommonJS. In the following example I am using the function wrapper discussed in my previous article.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
With this at the bottom of your script it can be loaded in anyway your user desires. If you want you could take the global object definition (the last one) out of the else statement so that even if something like RequireJS was on the page you could still access it through the global object.

The most common ways to sell a classic are newspaper classifieds, car trader publications, Internet sites or at auction.
Classified ads can be very expensive for 4 little lines, and no ability to show pictures. Auto Trader Magazines are also a bit pricey but they seem to reach a good target market. Internet site are the least expensive and can reach an international audience. They also allow you to submit more pictures.
The reality is, selling a car can be a real pain and that is why so many people consign their cars to auction companies to do it for them. Auctions bring a lot of people who are ready to buy cars; dealers, collectors and your average car enthusiast. And if you're lucky, a large crowd of fevered bidders can drive prices higher than a normal sales deal. But be prepared, if your car doesn't sell, you are out a bit more money than you would have spent on a classified ad.
Depending on your sense of urgency to sell your car, we suggest you put it online first. www.craigslist.org is a free classified ad service and it would be a good place to see if your car's price and description brings you some action before you put out money for an ad. Ebay Motors and Cars.com are two places we tend to try next.
Make sure you take the car out frequently with "For Sale" signs on it. The last car we sold attracted more potential buyers in busy shopping mall parking lot than it did in any other venue we advertised it in. Sometimes cars just look better in person than in pictures.
Don't forget about contacting your local car clubs to inform them your classic is for sale. They are a good source for word-of-mouth advertising. Join cruise nights around town, they always bring out spectators who want to have their own classic one day. Shine up your rig and let it sell itself.

Neither is a reason, though, to shun those that do not connect with Facebook directly for the friends who you know to prefer their greetings in Facebook. If the e-card can be sent via email, you can send it to Facebook friends.
Send Any E-Card to a Facebook Friend
To deliver an e-card to a Facebook friend in its full glory even if the card and site offer no way to use Facebook messages or post to your friend's (or your) wall:
- Compose the e-card with the intended recipient's name and the text you'd like to appear.
- Use your name and email address as the sender.
- Make sure
- the card does not offer an easy way to send to Facebook users and
- your friend really has no email address they check frequently enough.
- Prefer either method over what follows.
- Use the recipient's name but your email address as the recipient.
- Send the e-card, effectively to yourself.
- Wait for card to arrive at your email account.
- Start a new Facebook message to the Facebook friend.
If the e-card email contains a link to pick up the card:
- Use the e-card email's text in the Message: field, or type your own text; you can also leave the Message: empty.
- If your message text does not yet contain the link for picking up the e-card, copy and paste it from the e-card email you received into the Message: field of the Facebook message.
- If the email you received says "You may pick up your card by clicking on the link below. If clicking does not work, you can try copying and pasting the link into the address bar of your browser: http://www.example.com/cards/pickup.php?card=wrktwq9ph74jy924s1hg3x545", for instance, copy and paste to make sure the Message: field says "http://www.example.com/cards/pickup.php?card=wrktwq9ph74jy924s1hg3x545" (not including the quotation marks).
- Verify Facebook has extracted the correct link for picking up the card under Link.
- Depending on what images Facebook can find at the page, use the right and left buttons to choose an icon or — and also for the biggest e-card surprise — make sure No Thumbnail is checked.
- Click Send.
If the e-card email includes the card as a single image:
- Save the image to your desktop from the e-card email you received.
- Type a short message under Message: in Facebook or leave the field empty.
- Click Attach a file.
- Find and open the e-card image you saved to your desktop.
- Click Send.
If the e-card comes as a rich-text email and you're in for some tinkering fun:
- Open the e-card so it is visible in full on the screen.
- Make a screenshot of the email window or the whole display.
- Open the saved screenshot in an image editing tool; Picasa, Preview, iPhoto, IrfanView and The Gimp all do, for example.
- Crop the image to make sure only the card is seen.
- Save the image.
- Type any desired message under Message: in Facebook or leave it empty.
- Click Attach a file.
- Find and open the edited e-card image you saved previously.
- Click Send.

Bisciotti's second Super Bowl far different than first
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti met with reporters just days before his team attempts to win its second Lombardi Trophy.
Jim Harbaugh: Much more than meets the eye
Jim Harbaugh has a reputation for being extremely intense. But below the surface is a warm soul and impassioned family man.
Oher was fined $5,000 by the NFL for his actions in Sunday's game against Cleveland.||||||| Oher's fine stems from punching Browns defensive end Robaire Smith. Oher hit Smith after Smith shoved Baltimore tight end Todd Heap following a whistle that had stopped play for a false start.
The two-hour practice for the Ravens on Friday was notable for several reasons. Oher moved to left tackle - thereby assuming responsibility for the quarterback's blind side - and Jared Gaither shifted to the right side.||||||| It was clear that this move would come to fruition. Oher's story in the Michael Lewis book "The Blind Side" chronicled his rise from poverty to a star football player in college at Ole Miss. The title is derived from Oher's ability to protect the blind side and the book was turned into a movie by the same title in which actress Sandra Bullock received her first career Academy Award.
The Ravens have reached a five-year deal with Oher.||||||| The deal reached Wednesday ends a two-day holdout by Oher, the No. 23 pick in this year's NFL draft. The contract is expected to exceed the five-year, $12.55 million deal that last year's pick at Oher's slot - Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall - signed last summer. Oher, projected to start at right tackle, is the last rookie of the Ravens' draft class this year to agree to terms.

Rambelles extend LSC winning streak to four matches
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Finishing off matches has been a problem at times for the Angelo State University volleyball team this season.
That wasn't the case on Saturday though.
The Rambelles kept the pressure on Midwestern State all day, en route to a 25-16, 25-19, 25-21 Lone Star Conference victory over the Mustangs at the Junell Center.
With the win, ASU extended its LSC winning streak to four matches. The 'Belles were coming off a hard-fought five-set victory against Cameron at home on Thursday.
ASU improved to 14-13 overall and 6-3 in conference, while Midwestern dropped to 9-21 and 5-4.
Alaina Sivells and Katie Coleman tied for a match-high 10 kills to lead the 'Belles offensively against Midwestern. Alex Woolsey recorded a match-high 18 assists.
The opening set was tied 10-10 before the 'Belles went on an 8-1 run to pull away.
In the second set, ASU jumped out to leads of 7-1 and 14-5 before Midwestern clawed its way back into it, cutting the 'Belles' advantage to 17-15.
But that was as close as the Mustangs would get in the second set as the 'Belles closed it out strong.
In the third set, Midwestern was threatening to force a fourth game by playing ASU tightly.
The 'Belles were leading 19-15 in the final set before the Mustangs closed to within one point three times in the finishing stages, only to be denied by ASU.
With Kayla Smith serving, Sivells ended the Mustangs' hopes of a comeback with a match-sealing block on the final point.
ASU was determined not to let Midwestern extend the match into a fourth, and possibly fifth game.
"That team is always going to come back harder that third game," Sivells said. "Thursday, we got a little bit too dependent on some of our hitters. We talked about it, and we kind of changed it up today. We did a better job of keeping people one on one, so you have a lot more chances of getting kills, rather than having double blocks.
"We changed up our offense a little bit and worked the middle first and the outsides, so we did really good. Midwestern has always competed really well against us. We knew that we were going to have to come out and fight hard."
ASU head coach Chuck Waddington was proud of the way his team responded when the games got tight.
"It's nice to be able to shut the door when you have the opportunity," Waddington said. "(The Mustangs) played well and in the third game, they did some things to kind of throw us off our game. But we responded well to it. To be able close the door on a team that's fighting back is nice. It's good to see we've got that killer instinct a little bit."
ASU returns to action Thursday when the 'Belles travel to Durant, Okla., for an LSC matchup with Southeastern Oklahaoma. That match is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
The 'Belles will return home on Nov. 5 when they host Tarleton State.

Solar Homestead is People's Choice
The Solar Decathlon is finally complete, and Appalachian State
University's Solar Homestead finished the competition Saturday in 12th place and won the People's
Choice Award.
"Clearly, our outcome in the scoring isn't exactly what we wanted, but we're proud of everything we've accomplished," communications manager Dave Lee said Saturday afternoon. "I just think we've done a really valuable thing."
Visitors and supporters clearly saw the value in the Solar Homestead, as it also won the most of the 92,538 votes cast for the People's Choice Award.
"The team's passion and enthusiasm were contagious," said Terri Jones, Solar Decathlon communications contest official. "The People's Choice Award is a popular vote, and I believe the Solar Homestead house and team appealed to people on many levels."
During the 10-day competition, the team's greatest achievements included a tie for first place in the hot water competition, second place in communications, a tie for third in home entertainment and a third place finish in architecture.
At one point, the Solar Homestead climbed as high as fifth place overall.
The Solar Decathlon is a prestigious international competition that challenges 20 teams to design and build solar-powered homes that are cost-effective, efficient and attractive. They are judged based on 10 contests, some of which are quantitatively measured and others that are juried by experts in the field.
The University of Maryland won the 2011 competition, followed by Perdue University and New Zealand (Victoria University of Wellington).

For some reason, you don't hear much about Google Alerts anymore. I'm not sure if it's because they're so ingrained into our workplace culture, or because everyone interested in them are already using them, but (for me) even with Twitter, LinkedIn, RSS feeds and other tools, I still find Google Alerts a big asset. I use Alerts to keep up-to-date on our clients, prospects, leaders in our industry and more.
If I'm being honest, part of my love for Google Alerts exists because I'm old enough (gulp) to remember pre-Internet days when it was really difficult to find and stay on top of developing news about specific organizations.
Google Alerts can also be fun. Because we're sometimes referred to as simply "Alstin" instead of "Alstin Communications" I get some very interesting alerts. For example, thanks to Google Alerts I know:
- In Old English, Alstin means elf stone
- There is an alternative blogger named Zac Alstin out of the Southern Cross Bioethics Institute in Adelaide, South Australia.
- There is a German financing holding company Alstin.
- My personal favorite: Swedish designer Terese Alstin has invented a shawl-like collar that works like an airbag. Really; upon impact it "inflates to form a pillow-like helmet that surrounds the head."
If you're not using Google Alerts, trust me, nothing could be easier to set up, and it's a great way to learn about anything you have an interest in—and even some things you didn't know you'd be interested in.

An Operator SDIP Rating is equal to the sum of the surcharge points of the surchargeable incidents in the operator's 6-year policy experience period.
If there are no surchargeable incidents in the experience period, the total number of surcharge points is 0 (zero). The Operator SDIP Rating is 00 points, unless the operator is eligible for a discount:
Excellent Driver Discount Plus
(Credit Code 99)
Any licensed driver with 6 or more years of driving experience and no surchargeable incidents in the 6-year policy experience period is eligible for the Excellent Driver Discount Plus (99).
Excellent Driver Discount
(Credit Code 98)
Any licensed driver with 5 years of driving experience and no surchargeable incidents during the most recent 5 years is eligible for the Excellent Driver Discount (98). An operator with 1 (one) surchargeable incident may also be eligible for this discount (refer to SDIP Incentives and Your Policy).
These examples show how an Operator SDIP Rating is computed. Experienced operators (6 years or more of driving experience) with valid drivers licenses are used in these examples. The policy effective date is January 1, 2010.
Example 1:
An experienced operator with 1 minor non-criminal traffic law violation:
Violation surcharge date is 6/30/09(Year 1)
No surcharge points are assigned to the first minor, non-criminal traffic law violation in the operator's policy experience period.

It was supposed to be an outdoor debut. But the rain delayed the start of "Honk!" and eventually forced everyone inside to the Wilkinson-Stumbo convention center.
As the old saying goes, "The show must go on."
"Honk!" is the musical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's time-tested story of the Ugly Duckling...but there's nothing old-fashioned about this tale.
"It's so buoyant, there's a lot of life to it," said Hannah Dowdy, who plays Ida. "The costumes are really fun and bright, so kids will really like it."
Matthew Helton, who plays the lead of Ugly, said:
"In the show, Ugly develops from a hatchling coming out of his egg all the way through to being a teenager and you see that transformation with him. He goes through all those different phases. We all go though that and we see how being different can affect someone's personality and affect the other people around them."
Friday's showing kicked off a four-week run at the Jenny Wiley Theater in Prestonsburg. The musical has actually been around around for nearly 20 years, making its debut in England back in 1993.

Civil disobedience is a lever which can move the world by using peace as a fulcrum.
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.
Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things Knows not the livid loneliness of fear.
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
I come to you in peace. I did not bring artillery, but I am pleading with you, with tears in my eyes; if you f*** with me, I will kill you all.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Councilor or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice who constantly says 'I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action' who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for someone else's freedom who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a 'more convenient season.'
I think some people, who have this incredible talent have it at a great expense - they are amazing artists because of their emotional turmoil, but while they are revered for what they share with the world, it never fills the void inside. As a result, they turn to other vices to try to mask the pain, but it is never enough... It is so sad that they are so lost and burn out before they are able to find peace. I am not sure that there is anything sadder than someone, who died inside before they were ever able to truly live. Re: Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, & Kurt Cobain
If I was the head of a country that lost a war, and I had to sign a peace treaty, just as I was signing I'd glance over the treaty and then suddenly act surprised. 'Wait a minute I thought WE won'
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you and may posterity forget that ye were once our countrymen.
In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce The cuckoo clock.
It citizenship would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognized as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other state whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, andwithout obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of the law for which a white man would be punished it citizenship would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went. And all this would be done in the face of the subject race of the same color, both free and slaves, inevitably producing discontent and insubordination among them, and endangering the peace and safety of the State.
Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today, at home and around the world
Like a Columbus of the heart, mind and soul I have hurled myself off the shores of my own fears and limiting beliefs to venture far out into the uncharted territories of my inner truth, in search of what it means to be genuine and at peace with who I really am. I have abandoned the masquerade of living up to the expectations of others and explored the new horizons of what it means to be truly and completely me, in all my amazing imperfection and most splendid insecurity.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace where there is hatred, let me sow love where there is injury, pardon where there is doubt, faith where there is despair, hope where there is darkness, light and where there is sadness, joy.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace!
– Saint Francis of Assisi, "Prayer of St Francis" (attributed)
Meditation is listening the inner song. The song of Love, Peace and Light
Nothing is worth your peace of mind, not even your own ego.
Peace for the whole world begins with a smile in your own heart.
Peace is done two. And love too. (Paix se fait à deux. Et l' amour aussi)
Peace is understanding, not quiet
Please choose the way of peace. ... In the short term there may be winners and losers in this war that we all dread. But that never can, nor never will justify the suffering, pain and loss of life your weapons will cause.
– Mother Teresa, -- Letter to U.S. President George Bush and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, January 1991.
Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.
The deepest American dream is not the hunger for money or fame it is the dream of settling down, in peace and freedom and cooperation, in the promised land.

This section contains answers to common questions about this topic. Questions have been suggested by health professionals, website feedback and requests via email.
The two terms broadly refer to problems affecting the upper back, neck, shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, hands and fingers. Repetitive strain injury (RSI) and upper limb disorders cover about 20 conditions.
The terminology can be confusing. Different organisations and publications often use different terms for the same conditions, for example, the Health and Safety Executive uses RSI to refer to pain in the arm caused by working at a computer. But RSI and upper limb disorders can be used to describe the same group of medical conditions. You may also see the same conditions referred to as work-related upper limb disorders, overuse injuries or musculoskeletal disorders.
These conditions are grouped together because they affect your upper limbs. Examples of these conditions include tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and frozen shoulder.
Report any possible RSI symptoms that you think are caused by the way you work to your employer as soon as possible because carrying on in the same way may make things worse. By law your employer must offer you help.
Your employer has a legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 to try to prevent work-related RSI, and to stop existing RSI from worsening. You need to talk to your manager, human resources department or the occupational health department. It may make it easier for your employer to help you if your GP can give you a specific diagnosis, but often this won't be possible.
Ask your employer to carry out a proper risk assessment with you. This means he or she needs to:
You may need to take time off work, but once you begin to feel better it can help to get back into work, gradually building up your hours. Always seek medical advice about what is best for you. Following your risk assessment, your employer should give you specific advice. This may involve changing your duties or the way you work.
Yes, but many people don't realise that they have RSI until their symptoms have worsened. Early symptoms can include mild tingling, aching or twinges in your fingers, hands or arms, usually towards the end of a long day at work.
It can be difficult to know what is happening to you when you first have symptoms of RSI but it's really important to take action to get treatment. Ignoring any pain you have and carrying on as usual can make things worse. As soon as you notice any possible RSI symptoms talk to your employer and your GP. The symptoms of RSI can progress and may eventually lead to pain that stops you from doing everyday activities. Your exact symptoms will vary depending on the specific RSI condition you have.
Potentially, but there are things you can advise him to do to reduce his risk of getting RSI.
Any movement of your hand or arm that is repeated over a long period of time can put you at risk of developing RSI. Using games consoles and texting on mobile phones all involve repetitive movements, so it's important to follow advice about preventing RSI. Suggestions for ways to prevent RSI are shown below.
If your child already has symptoms of RSI, such as tingling and soreness, don't ignore this. Ensure that he takes regular breaks from the activity that is causing pain. Encourage your child to follow the advice above. If he is still having the same symptoms after a couple of weeks, take him to see his GP. Keep notes on times when your child has the pain or other symptoms, and on how long he spends on the games console, computer or mobile phone.

Hi all.
Does anyone know whether the book pre-order can be paid for using Tool points?
When checking out in the store page, the option to use the points as payment is available, yet when confirming the order the store takes me back to the payment page stating that "... the selected product cannot be paid for via Reward points. Please select another payment method. Please note that Shipping and Sales tax is not covered by Reward points."
I have sufficient points to cover the book, and I was planning on paying for the shipping (as I was allowed to do when I purchased the other two printed books), so I wonder why the store is being finicky now.

A 65-year-old man from Limestone County was killed Tuesday evening while riding in a Ranger bass fishing boat near Finley Island on the Tennessee River in Decatur.
Morgan County Coroner Jeff Chunn said Tuesday that 911 received a report of an accident on the river just north of the Nucor Steel dock at 5:34 p.m. Chunn declined to release the name of the victim pending family notification.
The coroner said the victim was brought ashore to Ingalls Harbor after a low-hanging Tennessee Valley Authority power line struck the boater while competing in a bass fishing tournament.
He said the victim died of trauma to his head and neck while riding in the lead boat of a three-boat group participating in the tournament.
"The victim sustained severe head and neck injuries as a result of coming into contact with the cable," Chunn said.

Celebrities like to change things up and a lot of times that means cutting off their precious curls! But just like us, celebs aren't always so eager to chop off their hair in an extreme style like pop singer Robyn. Maybe that's why when stars cut their hair they keep it simple. They go for the shoulder length hair cut. Some have their locks cut off right above the shoulder, like Paris Hilton. While others, like Miley Cyrus, chose to have it falling over the shoulder.
Actually it's pretty practical, if you have long hair this hairdo isn't too short so you will probably get used to it super fast. And if you end up hating it, well then it doesn't take too long until it grows back out again. Or just do as the celebrities when they are tired of shorter hair, get extensions!
But what do you guys prefer? Long tresses or a shorter cut?

Be Beautiful in Blue!
Thursday 2:23 AM, 30/06/2011
Of all the summer's colors, blue is definitely one of our favorites! It's never out of fashion and it's a color everyone can pull off. Did you know that blue is the color of calmness? Seeing someone in blue, we unconsciously associate that person as someone intellectual and aware of their surroundings!
So to make this summer as harmonious as possible, why not put on a blue dress? Not only because it makes you seem like a super relaxed person but because there is nothing prettier than a blue dress with a fresh tan. You will look like a goddess of the ocean, just like our favorite celebs! Just look at how beautiful Jessica Alba and Blake Lively are in their blue gowns!

Floral Chic: Not Like Grandma!
Thursday 9:38 PM, 12/05/2011
This summer is all about casual pretties! One of the best ways to achieve this look is by pairing a floral dress or skirt with a simple jacket or tank and a pair of gladiator sandals. Such an easy look but always looks sooo pretty! The key to buying a floral print is to look for small dainty flowers, you don't want the huge flowers from the 1970s. Keep other patterns to a minimum, let the florals be the focus point! Floral chic is definitely the best way to achieve a fun, flirty summer look and our favorite celebs think so too!

Mets May Not Add To the Bullpen
Have you noticed that the Mets haven't yet added any veteran big-league arms to the bullpen? There's a possibility they don't acquire one significant reliever — though, surely they'll sign a few pitchers on minor-league deals. What do you think of that?
It's true — there's a fairly decent chance that the Mets will take their chances with what they have. And it may not be the worst idea in the world, considering where the Mets are in their rebuilding phase, their lack of payroll flexibility (some day, they hope to get out from under the heavy burden of the Curtis Granderson and Bartolo Colon contracts), and their plethora of young arms that need to be auditioned.
Here's what they have, in no particular order:
Bobby Parnell
Vic Black
Scott Rice
Carlos Torres
Gonzalez German
Ryan Reid
Josh Edgin
Jeurys Familia
Jenrry Mejia
Jacob deGrom
I suppose Mejia and deGrom may have the opportunity to compete for the fifth-starter spot, but I'm including them here regardless. Personally, I see Mejia as an injury waiting to happen, and believe that if his dangerous mechanics will not be fixed, it would be best to limit his pitches as much as possible — not that that will necessarily prevent an injury, but throwing few pitches from the bullpen might hold off the inevitable a bit. But that's another can of worms to discuss another day.
Here is what's left on the market, in alphabetical order:
David Aardsma
Jairo Asencio
Scott Atchison
Luis Ayala
Andrew Bailey
Grant Balfour
Rafael Betancourt
Mitchell Boggs
Jeremy Bonderman
Tim Byrdak
Bruce Chen
Manny Corpas
Jesse Crain
Octavio Dotel
Zach Duke
Kyle Farnsworth
Pedro Feliciano
Frank Francisco
Chad Gaudin
Mike Gonzalez
Kevin Gregg
Matt Guerrier
J.C. Gutierrez
Joel Hanrahan
Rich Hill
Kameron Loe
Carlos Marmol
Nick Masset
Pat Neshek
Eric O'Flaherty
Darren Oliver
Juan Carlos Oviedo (a.k.a., Leo Nunez)
Oliver Perez
Fernando Rodney
If I've made a mistake on the relievers still available, or missed someone, let me know in the comments. Otherwise, it's a fairly underwhelming list, isn't it?
I'm thinking the Mets bring back Byrdak, for whatever it's worth. We can more or less guarantee that Frank-Frank won't be back, though Atchison and/or Feliciano could be. We likely also won't see Aardsma returning.
As for the rest, I doubt highly that the Mets are in play for Balfour, Betancourt, or Rodney, and I don't see a reunion with Oliver Perez — though, the irony would be mind-blowing. Hanrahan, O'Flaherty, Betancourt, and Bailey are coming off major arm injuries and/or surgeries, and not expected to return before June, so for now, cross them off the list. Darren Oliver is expected to retire. Here are the pitchers left, after those cross-offs:
Jairo Asencio
Scott Atchison
Luis Ayala
Mitchell Boggs
Jeremy Bonderman
Tim Byrdak
Bruce Chen
Manny Corpas
Jesse Crain
Octavio Dotel
Zach Duke
Kyle Farnsworth
Pedro Feliciano
Chad Gaudin
Mike Gonzalez
Kevin Gregg
Matt Guerrier
J.C. Gutierrez
Rich Hill
Kameron Loe
Carlos Marmol
Nick Masset
Pat Neshek
Juan Carlos Oviedo (a.k.a., Leo Nunez)
Ouch. Do you want to see any of the above in a Mets uniform in 2014? Will the Mets go after any of them?
Of course, there's the possibility of out-of-the-box thinking, such as signing a former starter and converting him to the bullpen — such as a Jeff Francis, Scott Baker, Tommy Hanson, or Clayton Richard; the full list of available starters can be found on the ESPN free-agent tracker.
Short of the idea of converting a starter, I'm not seeing the Mets signing a prominent free-agent reliever prior to spring training. Maybe someone like Mitchell Boggs, Jeremy Bonderman, or Luis Ayala is mildly interesting, but considering they're arguably the best of what's left on the market, the Mets likely will have to overpay. And are any of them worth a guaranteed big-league deal? It appears to me that they're best off signing a few to minor-league contracts, and/or adding some minor-league free agents to the mix.
What's your thought? Am I missing anyone? Share your ideas in the comments.
Mets Item of the Day
Since it's possible the Mets bullpen will be an exercise of Terry Collins playing the cards he's dealt, I think a set of New York Mets Playing Cards is appropriate.

Comments15 Responses to "Mets May Not Add To the Bullpen"
The lack of durability of bullpen pitchers is amazing to the point where if a reliever is good one year, I almost assume he is unsignable since he can't be good two years in a row. I also can't believe Dotel was on the list. Didnt the Mets include him in the Jim Fergosi trade in 1971? Also, if you are GM and you are punting on 2013 (sorry Dave), would you bother spending your little payroll on the bullpen? When people like myself get disgusted with the Met payroll, this is prime example how a low payroll hurts your chances for winning. An extra $5 million invested in the bullpen would help a lot.
I'll given Alderson credit for beefing up the ranks of candidates for the pen, and they young arms arm certainly better positioned to help in 2014. Still, the failure so far to bring in one veteran arm who has some previous closing experience tells me they are still penny pinching and not serious about fielding a playoff team for 201. Perez and Veras did not sign for big money, and let's not forget they let 40+ Hawkins walk over pennies and then signed 40+ Colon. The stink still hasn't left, but there is still time for Alderson to clear the air. As Joe points out, the list is running thin. Dare he bring back Franky Frank, he des fit the profile albeit he won't exactly get the ticket phones ringing.
oops, I meant punting on 2014. Gotta start making that change soon.
"Here's what they have, in no particular order"
More accurately- no particular CONSCIOUS order
Acting in this way encourages a subconscious influence in the resultant order. In this case, note the grouping of all players with first names beginning with "J" at the end of the list. Perhaps this is indicative of a repressed memory, in which the author was painfully placed last or excluded completely, considering that his first and last names also have this characteristic.
There are other players that will be brought in. These will mainly be older guys who have had injuries or have been down the last couple of years and will compete with minor league contracts. DeGrom is not going to be coming in relief. he will be a transition starter when players go down. He still may end up being traded. Since his status of avoiding super 2 is not as important as Montero or Thor, he can get a call if Mejia can't go early or reinjures himself.
I am doubting Parnell will be ready for opening day, i have a suspicion he may be this year's Francisco and we never even see him. Mejia will either be the team's fifth starter or will be hurt, i doubt we will see him in the pen. I am not sure Familia will survive long… he still has to show he can get outs.
The guys who should definitely be in the pen on opeing day:
Rice (specialist)
Edgin would make it, if healthy. He has been an injury waiting to happen though and cannot be counted on. I think the Mets will want to bring in at least someone else to compete. I would like to see Boggs myself. Brett Tomko is hitting 92 on the gun right now and can be had for a minor league deal also if you want a vet who has not pitched in a while to at least try out.
In listing the Mets bullpen possibilities within the organization I think you forgot another former Blue Jay Joel Carreño who's coming off a very successful year in the minors and having a terrific winter league showing as well. You also have John Church and Jeff Walters competing, too, and Jack Leathersich is an awesome arm with no control but on the periphery looking in.
With a few exceptions, predicting the success of a relief pitcher from year-to-year is a real crap shoot. Given that the Mets are not going to be contenders in 2014, I'd rather spend the money elsewhere and go with the young arms.
Your comment is a carbon copy of what I would have said. But I think the current group of arms has potential. The acquisition of Black was decent, and I might be alone in believing Edgin could be effective in 2014, but he did show promise before he got hurt. I'd have held onto Hawkins, though I'm not sure that was even a possibility.
Germen is the most interesting name to me. I don't see many relievers out there with nasty change-ups, plus the velocity to start hitters' bats early. I like the upside! On the other hand, he needs to locate better, and age 26, entering his 7th year in pro ball, seems a bit late for that.
I think Black and Torres can contribute. Lefties can't hit Rice. If Parnell is healthy, add Germen and that's an acceptable front 5. I expect to see Walters win a competition with scrap heap guys for the 6th spot. The 7th spot will go to some lefty who looks better in spring training than the other lefties. If the competition is Byrdak or Feliciano, I'd give the edge to Edgin, as those two guys are redundant with Rice (i.e. toast vs RH).

Airlines continue quest to ground the industry
Here's another internal memo we got this week: Delta Air Lines has announced that effective September 2008 you will need to cash in more air miles for a free ticket. Actually, what they said was that they want to offer more "flexibility" to their SkyMiles frequent flyer members.
The only SkyMiles award that did not change is the standard 25,000 air miles for a free ticket for USA, Alaska and Canada travel. But don't think that this will be the easiest ticket to earn and travel with. Delta's current two-level system will become a three-tier system. One of the new levels is called "discounted". This is just a fancy word meaning that you will have to be more flexible to get this award. The newest tier is called "expanded" and the highest award tier is called "last seat on the plane".
Now when this program came out in 1982, the 25,000 mile award was actually 25,000 miles for last-seat availability. Today, last-seat availability will require 60,000 air miles on Delta. All other SkyMiles awards went up. Delta may want to change the name of their frequent flyer program from SkyMiles to SkyHigh awards.
For example, a business class roundtrip ticket to Europe was 90,000 air miles. In September, you will need as much as 350,000 air miles for the "any seat" award. The first tier will be 100,000 miles. The expanded award is going to cost 200,000 miles.
Not only are they jacking up the air miles needed for their awards but they are also going to charge you $25 to process your free ticket for travel between and within the US and Canada. There will be a $50 processing fee for all other worldwide destinations including San Juan, Virgin Islands, Mexico, Caribbean and transatlantic and transpacific destinations.
Here's the spin: ATLANTA, July 30, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL - News) in September will launch a new Award Travel structure to provide SkyMiles(r) members greater flexibility and more options when redeeming miles, including the ability to again book the last seat on a flight using miles and three redemption tiers for Award Travel within the continental United States, Alaska and Canada to destinations worldwide.
When will companies realize Americans appreciate and respect candor? Memo to Delta: No smoking on flights so quit blowing it in our face.
That's why I only use Delta FF Miles to buy magazine subscriptions.

Saddle shoe
The saddle shoe is a low-heeled casual Oxford shoe, characterized by a plain toe and distinctive, saddle-shaped decorative panel placed mid foot. Saddle shoes are typically constructed of leather and are most frequently white with a black saddle, although any color combination is possible.
Saddle shoes are worn by both men and women in a variety of styles ranging from ultra high platforms to golf cleats. According to The New York Times in 2009, in the United States, saddle shoes enjoyed a recent comeback among males in their teens, twenties, and thirties.[1]
Several years later the comic Blondie put them in a strip, where Alexander bought a new pair of shoes, and Dagwood tells him they were popular years and years ago. [2]
Some groups identify with this type of shoe irrespective of current fashion trends. Those associated with ska, sometimes known as rudeboys, often wear them in some combinations since both the classic look and the black/white color scheme represent the genre as a whole.
In 1957 Elvis Presley wore saddle shoes during Jailhouse Rock.[3]

Evora, who was known as the "Barefoot Diva" for her habit of performing without shoes, was born in 1941 on the Cape Verde island of Sao Vicente, off the coast of West Africa. She began singing at the age of 16 in the local sailors' taverns and recorded her first album in 1988, when she was 47. Her 1995 album Cesaria garnered her first Grammy nomination and brought her international acclaim. In 2003, Evora won a Grammy in the World Music category for her album Voz D'Amor.
The singer underwent open-heart surgery last year, and retired from singing in September after suffering a stroke. Evora had been hospitalized with respiratory failure and pulmonary edema on December 16.
Evora, who had a son and a daughter, died at the Baptista de Sousa Hospital in her hometown of Mindelo.
