As it prepared at the beginning of the week for its biggest challenge so far this season, a wounded LSU offensive line took stock of itself.
With ninth-ranked LSU getting ready to face No. 3 South Carolina and one of the nation's top defensive lines, the Tigers focused on what they could do with a fifth different offensive line combination in seven games.
"It was huge," said guard-turned-tackle Josh Dworaczyk, a sixth-year senior. "When things get tough, we get closer. That was especially true this week.
"We've got a lot of injuries, and that was an emotional thing for us throughout the week. We just put pressure on ourselves, and we fed off it. We just hadn't been the offensive line we think we are."
They showed it against South Carolina as LSU, which had one first down rushing and 42 yards on the ground in last week's 14-6 loss at Florida, overpowered the Gamecocks in a 23-21 win in Tiger Stadium.
The Tigers rushed for 258 yards and a 4.9 average on 53 attempts and recorded 15 first downs with a patched-up line that included two freshmen.
Already playing without tackle Chris Faulk, who's out for the season with a knee injury, the Tigers opened Saturday's game without left tackle Alex Hurst and right guard Josh Williford.
So redshirt freshman Trai Turner settled in at Williford's spot at guard next to true freshman Vadal Alexander at tackle.
They joined Dworaczyk, who got the start for Hurst at left tackle, left guard La'El Collins and center P.J. Lonergan to help pave the way for freshman running back Jeremy Hill to rush for 124 yards and a 50-yard touchdown up the middle that gave the Tigers a 23-14 lead with 5:03 to play in the game.
Much was said and written this week about the Tigers offensive line woes after the Florida loss, especially with South Carolina and heralded sophomore defensive end Jadeveon Clowney looming.
Clowney had six tackles, but the Gamecocks recorded just one sack of Zach Mettenberger.
"Without a doubt, they did a great job," Mettenberger said. "We had two freshmen starting and one (Turner) was starting his first game. And, the old man (Dworaczyk) had a great game."
Dworaczyk said the Tigers were determined early in the week to not worry about what they were facing — especially in Clowney, end Devin Taylor and tackle Byron Jerideau.
"Times were tough, but we didn't read any of the things that were written," Dworaczyk said. "It was kind of do-or-die because that was probably the best defensive line we were going to face this season."
After trailing 7-3 at halftime, LSU set the tone for a second-half comeback, when it took the kickoff and drove 69 yards to a touchdown with Kenny Hilliard getting 25 yards and Hill getting the final 16 yards with a 9-yard scoring run.
LSU coach Les Miles said offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Greg Studrawa challenged his group this week.
"Stud did a great job of getting the young guys ready," Miles said. "And then, Josh Dworaczyk was exactly what we needed at left tackle.
"He did a great job, and we rushed the ball and controlled the clock, and we kept our defense off the field."
South Carolina's defense appeared to be worn down when Hill blasted into the secondary and out-ran several defenders on his long touchdown.
"That's what you're supposed to do," Miles said. "If you can control the the line of scrimmage, you continue to wear the defense down. That keeps your defense off the field.
"If you have long drives against a quality defensive front, you can break plays like Jeremy did."
When asked about Hurst, the subject of much speculation this week, Miles said, "All I can tell you is he wasn't here. ... We wish him the very best."
But the fill-ins obviously weren't bad.
"From the first day of practice this week, we were focused because we knew our backs were to the wall," Dworaczyk said.
"We had to make sure that we played to our ability as an offensive line. We had to take over games and be the game-changer."
That they were.

I'm starting to feel that putting up my advent calendar a day at a time was a bad idea.
Mostly because I think my family is sick of reading my blog.
Maybe y'all (ha!) are just sick of the monotony?
I dunno.
More than halfway to Christmas!
Gratitude Attitude #55: Humorous Christmas cards from family!
If you can't read it, it says: "Happy New Year! Uncle Joe & Aunt Peggy. Heard you have a new friend in your life. Hope everything works out for you. You're great. -Peg"
I picture her smiling and raising her eyebrows while saying "new friend," which makes me giggle.
Or "new friend" as if I'm such a loner that my family is excited that I'm making friends.
My family rocks.

Mitt Romney to India: 'Eh-Neeek-Chock!'
(AP) NEW DELHI - Mitt Romney's attempts to fill the nation of India with giant Apaches who would be "Super Friends" to America failed today when he didn't understand that they were the wrong kind of Indians.
The incident recalls Romney's March gaffe, when he screamed "Eh-neeek-chock!" at a flightline full of AH-64D Apache Longbows, in an attempt to create a fleet of what he dubbed "Super Helicopters."
In the aftermath of both attempts, Romney wore a feathered headdress and cried a lot.

Shin Asuka (アスカ・シン, Asuka Shin?) is the main protagonist of the Ultraman Dyna series, and is Ultraman Dyna's human host. He is known for being a funny, and rather immature guy, but is very serious when he needs to. His very known motto is "Never give up!". After his final battle against Gransphere, the black hole teleported him to a gap between universes, but is later revealed in Ultraman Saga he returned to his universe briefly.
Contents |
Utraman DynaEdit
Becoming DynaEdit
After leaving his old high school baseball team, Asuka joined the Air Force Squad ZERO, a division of TPC. Asuka was one of the best ranking trainees and went on a test battle near a space station orbiting the moon and successfully defeated Ryo and Kariya of Super GUTS. That was when the Spheres first attacked, his plane was shot down and he was forced to evacuase leaving him stranded in space with only his suit to keep him alive. Instead of despairing Asuka roared in defiance of his seemingly inevitable death in space and that was when he encountered the Light of Dyna. Finding himself saved by the mysterious light Asuka was later recruited by Super GUTS and dispatched to the TPC Mars Base's defense against Darambia. After accidentally injuring Kouda and crashing GUTS Eagle Alpha, He assaulted Darambia on foot and transformed into Ultraman Dyna for the first time.
Recruition into Super GUTSEdit
After the Darambia assault, Asuka was lectured by Captain Hibiki and felt ashamed of his behavior. Soon later, he became a good member of Super GUTS and went on many missions and confronted many memorable monsters of this 51-episode series, including: Gransphere, Daigerun, Monsarger, Garaon, Sildron, Neosaurus, Deathfacer, Sadom, Gaigeried, Neo-Geomos, Neo-Gaigeried, and many more. Many of these monsters taught Asuka lessons and gave memories to the young-adult, who began his motto "Never give up!" Asuka also participated in the TPC "War Against Deathfacer", in which he battled Deathfacer and finally Queen Monera herself.
Kidnapped and the Creation of TerranoidEdit
After a battle with Neo-Drambia II, Asuka's secret identity was discovered and he was kdnapped with Ryo to the secret underground base of TPC. There, General Tunbo revealed his desire for the restarting of the infamous Plan F, the plan based on Masaki Keigo's action that created his own Ultraman (Evil Tiga, which also appeared in Dyna's series as a member of the Shadow Monster Army). The goal of this plan was to create Ultramen as living weapons at mankind's beck and call. Soon Tunbo used his life-force exactration device to use Shin's energy to power his Ultraman statue: Terranoid (Read the Terranoid article for more of this arc). Terranoid was later defeated and morphed by the Spheres into Zeglanoid. Shin then risked his life and transformed into Dyna one more time to fight the beast. After defeating Zeglanoid, Dyna disappeared with it and Shin was later found by Daigo, who was part of the TPC MARS program. Once in Daigo's shelter: The Bio Park, he was nursed back to health by Rena and was talked to by Daigo. Soon, he returned to Earth with Ryo to plan for the "Defense Against Gransphere" campaign.
Three-Part Arc: The Final Chapter and DisappearenceEdit
Back on Earth, Gransphere began to attack, with the first strike being the devouring of Pluto. Super GUTS was alarmed and created a plan to stop Gransphere by Saturn. The moveable base: Klakorff 3000 was employed in the battle, as well as the Frozen Weapon: Neo-Maxima Cannon (originally used with Deathfacer). Unfortunately, the plan failed and Saturn was devoured, along with the Man-Made Sun. At long last, a new plan was created for Gransphere to be stopped at Mars, and that was when Asuka finally revealed he was Dyna all this time. The plan was for Super GUTS to use the Neo-Maxima Cannon to blast Gransphere, creating a hole. Dyna will then fire his Solgent Ray into the opening. The plan proceeded, and Gransphere was defeated. Unfortunately, the defeat of this beast would involve in the opening of a wormhole of a gap between dimensions, which Shin was sucked into. The stars returned, and a new worm hole opened to the Land of Light, in which Super GUTS advanced to. Asuka was then seen in the gap, flying with his lost father, into a light of foreverness.
Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The MovieEdit
Here Shin reappears to help the crew of the Pendragon defeat parts of Belial's Army: Alien Zetton and Narse. After defeating Zetton Seijin in hand-to-hand combat, Shin was introduced to the crew as a traveler. After defeating Narse, Dyna agreed to take the Pendragon crew to the Monster Graveyard and went straight to take on Belial. After being knocked down by Belial for a bit, he witnessed the arrival of Ultraman Zero and later worked together with Leo, Astra, Zero, Ultraman, and Mebius to take down Beruydora. After leaving the Graveyard, he agreed to take the Pendragon crew back to the Solar System. "I am on an adventure as well."
Ultraman SagaEdit
Shin reappeared in Ultraman Saga as one of the protagonists and who merged into the titular hero to defeat Hyper Zetton. Shin was known by the kids who said that he was really fun to play with. Many of Team U's members were fond of him with Misato appearing to have feelings for him. At some point in the past he transformed into Ultraman Dyna to protect them from Giganto Zetton and Alien Bat. Dyna sealed the monster inside his cocoon using up all his energy and becoming a statue. Fortunately he expelled the Reflasher which stored energy to revive the two at a later point at which point they saved Ultraman Zero who they had called from another universe to help.TransformationEdit
Reflasher: Asuka thrusts the Reflasher into the air, it then unfolds and then transforms him into Dyna.
"Never give up!"---Motto
"The real adventure has just begun!"---Final words in Ultraman Dyna
"Roger!"---Super GUTS exclusive
"When you saved us from that gravitational pull! You always loved to show-off, but always hid that inside. Why?"---Captian Hibiki to Asuka--"The Final Chapter: To Tommrow..."
"I think it is you who need to consider: Beating yourself." ---Asuka to Hibino--"Winning Shot"
"I am myself...I am Ultraman Dyna!"---Asuka to Gransphere--"The Final Chapter: To Tommrow..."
- Unlike his predecessor Daigo Madoka who physically transformed into an Ultra, Asuka was more of the traditional Ultra Hosts from the Showa era, a human that had joined with an Ultra. At least once in the series Dyna refused to transform at Asuka's desire, due to him wanting to use his power to glorify himself. Asuka learned his lesson and the two never had another falling out.

IF there is one sport that captures many people's interests after just one round it would have to be golf. There is something about golf that makes players want to better their games constantly. There is always room for improvement no matter who you are. Sometimes it may be the clubs or the course that creates the challenge and other times it just may be a good of a bad day but there is always fun to be had on the course. There are so many amazing courses to enjoy a golf game on around our country. We have been fortunate to play on many of them. Some are more challenging and others are simply beautiful. It is easy to relax and enjoy the game with some of the amazing courses we have had the privilege to play on. Through the course of our games we have been able to experience many different types of golf clubs. Some golf drivers are designed for golfers that have slowed in their swing speed and distance focusing on a more draw biased ball flight. Other clubs are built with a combination of style and performance as well as advanced aerodynamics that would make any player to look good. There are clubs of a lighter weight for maximum head speed for added distance as well. These light drivers actually weigh 25 grams less than the lightest driver before them. The game of golf may not have changed through the years but the clubs certainly have. There are many different types of clubs designed to give all types of golfers a customized experience while playing a round of their favorite sport.

Hi Everyone! Greetings from southwest Ohio! I've been gardening since my granny gave me a pkg. of marigold and zinnia seeds when I was 9 yrs. old. I couldn't believe I grew all those beautiful flowers from just putting a little seed in the ground. I was hooked! We've lived at this home for 7 1/2 yrs. and started our veggie/flower gardens 4 yrs. ago. The first 3 yrs. we were recuperating from a car accident. I finally decided I was gonna hurt whether I gardened or not, and I needed to get my hands dirty again. This spring we enlarged the garden and grew things to sell at 2 Farmer's Markets. Is there any other market people on here? It's been a lot of hard work, but also lot of fun. My husband started his first seeds this spring, which hooked him, and it's great to have him gardening full time with me. Kids are all grown and out on their own. Our time is spent in the garden in the summer, and planning and starting seeds in the winter. I also have a perennial and butterfly garden. I'm in the process of uploading photo's to my album with more to come when I can find the time to do it. I'm so happy to have found this place! |

Welcome to GG from WI, Tansy! Just looked at your garden...wow, it looks like something in my gardening books! There's a sunflower (picture #11, I think) that is an interesting color, I'm very fond of sunflowers but have branched out into other colors/varieties. #9 looks like it should be on the cover of a card, the colors are so vibrant...keep up the great job, I love looking at gardens that aren't mine. (Jungle, anyone? ) See ya around the patch, and thanks for joining us! |

Tansy! What can I say about those pictures? Fabulous, I can take a lesson or two from those pictures and apply it around here. I love all of the little decorations you have here and there. I especially like the old bar stool with the pot of flowers in it, very clever. Anyway, enough gushing , welcome to GG and I hope to see more of your beautiful work. |
Posted: Sep/07/2007 6:55 PM PST
Thank you all for such a warm welcome and nice comments on my garden. I love to find old things and set them around. The sunflower someone was referring to is called Strawberry Blonde. I'll have to look and see where I got them from. I usually plant around 40 to 50 sunflowers each year for my birds. Can't wait to check out the rest of the forum! |

(Newser) – Some on the right might have been hoping that Sandy would be President Obama's Katrina, but Paul Krugman is having none of it: Instead, the president's handling of the superstorm has won him much well-deserved praise and even a bump in the polls, he writes in the New York Times. Of course, there are still some insisting on comparing Sandy's aftermath to that of Katrina, "but there's really no comparison," Krugman writes. After Katrina, "top officials seemed oblivious" to the thousands stranded in squalor in New Orleans. After Sandy, the National Guard rolled in to Hoboken immediately with food, water, and rescue equipment.
"The federal government's ability to respond effectively to disaster always collapses when antigovernment Republicans hold the White House, and always recovers when Democrats take it back," Krugman reasons. As proof, he takes a look at the history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which failed under the first President Bush and made a comeback under Clinton, only to devolve once again under the second Bush. That's because small-government-loving Republicans think it should be up to the devastated state itself to handle disaster recovery and relief, which is just plain silly, Krugman says. And if Mitt Romney wins tomorrow, FEMA will return to "Bush-era incompetence." Click for Krugman's full column.

PDF frenzy
I have been bestowed upon a task to create a sample pdf of a recently published book on butterflies of Primorska and Notranjska (Slovenia). The full title reads Metulji Notranjske in Primorske (this is just too lure in google/start page searches ). It was authored by Slavko Polak with accompanying pictures from a number of lepidopterologists (butterfly experts). It is a pocket guide and ready to be used out in the field. Highly recommended.
But I digress. I had to create a sample pdf of a few pages to be put online for some spreading the word about the book. I have tried two methods to create these pdfs. One is extremely long, one is extremely short. Both produced a similar result.
I exported certain pages from the full pdf into png (ImageMagick). I joined two by two pages (GIMP) and transformed them into a jpeg (of lower quality and dimensions to keep the file size down) in ImageMagick again. This produced a 600 kB file which is OK, given that I don't have a source file from which the pdf was created (which is about 8 MB), but has degraded the quality of the pages. This was partially the intent, but I'm having more and more reservations about it.
I used pdftk to extract desired pages into an output file. This took about 40 minutes less (seconds, actually) than the first method and produced an output file of superior quality and similar size (difference of about 50 kB).
pdftk is a pdf processing tool and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Kudos to the authors. pdftk is accessable through your repos (if you're running a debian based distro).

Heucherella do just as well for me as heuchera. Of course our zones are very different. I just bought SE last week so don't know much about it yet, but it was just so pretty and only $7 so I HAD to get it! |

Rouge21, Check out Crooked Creek Garden Centre in Newtonville, ON (in the Durham Region). It is about 5 minutes off highway 401. That's where I bought my Solar Eclipse and also they have other heuchera's and heucherella's. I would call them first as the Solar Eclipse's just came in. 4480 Concession Rd.4 Newtonville ON L0A 1J0 (905)786-2212 Vanessa |
Thanks for that information Vanessa but I was able to pick up a SE and a Delta Dawn at Humber Nurseries in Brampton this past week. (Anyone have DD in their garden? What are you impressions?) |

Cindy, I think she meant the Heuchera 'Delta Dawn' not the hosta. :-) My Solar Eclipse is not as vibrant as the pics I've seen. Mine looks more like a green with some flecks of bronze toward the veins. |
You are right ie I did mean DD heuchera...my mistake. |
- Posted by echinaceamaniac 7 (My Page) on Sat, May 19, 12 at 3:14
Heuchera Delta Dawn is great. Mine is starting to get the color like the tag. It's like an improved version of Miracle. |
This was the first SE I purchased and after giving it a month to develop I was hooked (see picture below). And so I bought *3* more in the past couple of weeks. |

How do siblings stop fighting and start getting along?
ASK LORI AND LIANE, September 2009, by Liane Knoll-Kowk
I hate my little sister!
...how do siblings stop fighting and start getting along?
Dear Liane,
I have a problem with my sister. I am 12 and she is 9. For years I have really not liked her, and I especially don't now. It is not like that with my 14 year old brother, or my 13 year old cousin (who is also a guy). The three of us are like best friends. I don't even know why it is like that. Could it be our ages? And is this even normal to not like (ok, well pretty much HATE) your sister for 3+ years? Please help me, and if you can, give me tips on how to not hate her.
~ Big sister, Lorette, Manitoba
Dear Big Sister,
Some kids are lucky enough to be best friends with their siblings, but it's also very common for siblings to fight, and yes, to feel like they even hate each other sometimes. So to answer your question, yes, this is absolutely normal!
But relationships take work and there's a really big reason why it will be worth it to improve on your relationship with your sister. Think about it....... who will be the person you know longest in your life? It's not your best friend, and it's not even your parents, the people who have known you from the beginning. You guessed it, it's your sister. You will know her longer than any any person you will ever meet in the future! So that's why how the two of you relate now will contribute to setting the stage for your relationship for many years to come. In other words, this is a very important issue to deal with.
It's not surprising that things aren't always peachy considering how much you have to share: your home, your meals, your parents. No wonder you infuriate each other at times. You share so much in common, but that doesn't mean your personalities are alike. In fact, they could be completely opposite. You may have different opinions, talents, mannerisms, etc. Your age will have much to do with your differing interests too, and this may explain why you get along better with your older brother and cousin. What your sister thinks is cool is probably so yesterday for you! She's still into little kid stuff while you've moved on to teenage things. Expressing your differences of opinion is absolutely fine, but when it leads to insults and hurtful put downs, it's not fine!
It's so hard to stay out of what I call the 'bickering trap'. It goes something like this: you make a slightly sarcastic comment. Your sister feels insulted and hurls back another sarcastic response. You then feel personally attacked. Before you've had a chance to think about it, you've said something you know will enrage or hurt her because, let's face it, if anyone knows what hurts your little sister most, it's you. Then what started out as a snarky comment has escalated into a shouting match and sometimes even to physical violence. By this time it's official... world war 3 has arrived and with it, Mom and Dad. You and your sister find yourselves grounded for a week, or worse, you give each other the cold shoulder for a few days and pretend the other doesn't exist.
One of the complaints I often hear from older siblings is that their younger sibling gets into their stuff: their room, their diaries, their clothes, their computer files..you name it! There seems to be no respect for personal property. One reason for this may be that the younger sib wants to be just like the older one. If this is happening to you, your sister is likely fascinated by you and wants everything you have, even though it may appear like she doesn't like you. Copying your look and style may be just one more reason to be annoyed at her but at least her lack of boundaries has an explanation.
Do you sometimes feel that your sister is favoured by your parents? Do you think she gets away with things because she's the baby? This can be a real source of difficulty for siblings. Some kids have said they even feel replaced by their younger sibling or feel they've lost that special place in their parent's heart. Sometimes they feel lonely, and at times, unloved. If this happens to you, please talk to your parents about it. Do it when you're calm and on better terms with your sister. Tell them why you feel she is favoured and that it's hurtful to you. Be honest with your feelings. Chances are, your parents don't even realize this is happening.
You asked how you could make things better. This tells me that you're a problem solver and are invested in having a better relationship with your sister. When people live together, they need to have some basic rules that everyone follows. This means that your parents and siblings have to be on board with making a change in the family. It helps to write them down and involve everyone in the creation of your "family rules". One important rule is to be respectful to each other and this means zero tolerance of hurtful insults (you'll know which ones are the mean ones) and no hitting or physical violence. Another rule is respecting each other's property; knocking on your siblings door and getting permission before entering, asking to borrow items even if there's a chance they'll say no. You'll have to sit down and figure out what rules are important to you and your family members.
Try to be respectful of your sister even if she is sometimes annoying. One of the most hurtful things a person can do is to ignore someone. When you're angry or frustrated, take a deep breath and give her your ear for a few more minutes instead of telling her to "talk to the hand". If you've already entered the 'bickering trap' I mentioned before, take another deep breath and try to be the bigger person. Say: "this is going nowhere" and resist the urge to hurl that last nasty insult. She will learn a lot about how to behave by watching how you handle difficult situations.
Lastly, try to spend time together as a family. Family members need to come before friends and these relationships get stronger when you put in the effort. Watch a movie together, play a board game, find time to relate together. Work hard on keeping your relationships going well so that you will always have each other.
Sometimes relationships between siblings are so difficult that professional help is needed. Sometimes the bickering and fighting is constant, and there are very few peaceful moments at home. This is a family problem and not any one person's fault. If you feel your relationship with your sister is unmanageable or if someone in the family is being harmed, then it's time to talk to your parents about this. Family therapy may be helpful in this case.
Don't forget what a long and important relationship this is. It's important to nurture and do everything you can to keep it healthy and strong. All the best, and I hope you and your sister grow to be great friends some day!
Keep your feet on the ground!
~ Liane

Plan Description
Arch-topped windows, a stucco façade and intricate details and trim give this ranch Sunbelt home plan curb appeal that is second to none. Two pairs of double doors open to the home, one in the foyer, the other opens to the dining room. Columns punctuate the elegant dining room and a butlers pantry makes light work of meals. Walls of glass fill the living room with sunshine as a decorative ceiling tops this space. The work-at-home parent will appreciate the peaceful study and find it easy to take a break with double doors leading to the covered lanai. Two islands are better than one making the kitchen command central. This space spills into the comfortable family room and cheerful dinette. Perfect for outdoor entertaining, the covered lanai provides an outdoor kitchen for delicious summertime meals. The cabana suite it placed at the back of the home, perfect for a teen suite or guest room, this space accesses the pool bath and enjoys seclusion. At the front of the home, Bedroom 2 delights in a private bath and walk-in closet. On the opposite side of this split-bedroom home, the master suite is loaded with extras. Begin with the bayed sitting area. Also notice the double walk-in closets and exquisite master bath where pillars accentuate the window soaking tub. Elegant touches coupled with modern day amenities produce a one-of-a-kind Mediterranean house plan.If purchasing house plans or building home in Collier County or Lee County, FL or in Camden County, GA, please contact The House Plan Shop for ordering information.

A dozen agricultural organizations recently sent a letter to the U.S. House Agriculture Committee urging members to continue the federal crop insurance program.
Advocacy organizations, including the American Farm Bureau Federation, are highlighting the need for a stronger safety net for farmers.
"Federal crop insurance provides an effective risk management tool to farmers and ranchers when they are facing losses beyond their control," the letter stated. "It reduces taxpayer risk exposure; it makes hedging possible to help mitigate market volatility; and it provides lenders with greater certainty that loans made to producers will be repaid."
The House Agriculture Committee is preparing to make recommendations for a vote before the 2012 Farm Bill reaches the House floor.

Age bias in IT: The reality behind the rumors
Is high tech really that tough on older workers? Or are they simply not pulling their weight in an industry that never stops innovating?
Computerworld - Editor's note: This story took home the gold for Web Feature Article in the ASBPE's 2012 Azbee Awards of Excellence.
Age bias: Some consider it IT's dirty little secret, or even IT's big open secret.
Most high-tech employers would likely deny that age discrimination is an issue at their company. But many IT workers over 50 beg to differ, saying they have experienced age bias or know someone who has.
The bias can take several forms, they say. Their salaries might stagnate. They might have few or no opportunities for advancement. They might not be included in training and professional development programs. And they could be the first to be laid off and the last to be hired.
As a result, they may be hit harder by the recession. According to recent U.S. government data, unemployment rates for older IT professionals increased faster than they did for younger tech workers since the recession began some three years ago.
All of that can add up to a tough road for older people in high tech.
Age bias is "something that no [employer] talks about. But it's a reality in tech that if you're 45 years of age and still writing C code or Cobol code and making $150,000 a year, the likelihood is that you won't be employed very long," says Vivek Wadhwa, who currently holds academic positions at several universities, including UC Berkeley, Duke and Harvard.
As Wadhwa's observation indicates, "age bias" is a simplistic label for a complicated set of factors that influence the job prospects for senior tech employees. When considering workers over the age of 50, employers take the following factors into account:
The relevance, applicability and currency of their skills, which may or may not be up to par with those of younger employees.
The level of compensation they expect, which is typically higher than the salaries younger people seek.
Their behaviors and attitudes, which can become rigid and narrow-minded with age.
Their energy level, which is presumed to be less than that of a 25-year-old.
While none of these generalizations is necessarily true for any particular candidate, each is a stereotypical assumption about older workers. What's more, they are all logical and legal reasons for an employer to fire, or not hire, someone.
"If you can hire someone fresh out of college for $60,000 who is likely to know the latest technology, or you can hire someone 45 years old who's making $140,000, who are you going to hire? That's the harsh reality, whether we like it or not," says Wadhwa, 53, who started his career in IT as a programmer, then went on to be an entrepreneur before entering academia.
Robert Ayr hears that message loud and clear. At 57, he's fully and happily employed in IT as the manager of production services at Irving, Texas-based VHA Inc., a national network of not-for-profit healthcare organizations. He gives himself credit for managing his career well through turbulent times, but at the same time, he can't help but look over his shoulder.
By his own estimate, since he graduated college in 1977, Ayr has held nine or 10 technology positions all over the country -- in California, Massachusetts, Texas and New York. "Especially in the beginning, I was moving around all over the place -- to expand my knowledge base and to further my career," he says.

Tue, Oct 26, 2004
Two veteran astronauts are retiring from NASA and moving on to new phases of their lives. Astronaut Scott J. "Doc" Horowitz, a retired US Air Force colonel, has left NASA for a position with private industry. Astronaut Duane G. "Digger" Carey has left the space agency to see the world from a new perspective.
Horowitz is a veteran of four Space Shuttle flights. He's traveled more than 16 million miles in space during his missions, leading activities in science, satellite maintenance and International Space Station assembly as a commander and pilot.
Horowitz (above) served as pilot on Shuttle mission STS-75. The mission performed microgravity and tethered satellite science in 1996. He flew as pilot of STS-82, a maintenance mission to the Hubble Space Telescope in 1997. His third flight was as pilot on STS-101 in 2000, an International Space Station assembly mission. In August 2001, Horowitz commanded STS-105, a Station crew exchange and assembly mission.
"Scott has made a huge contribution to NASA's exploration effort. He's flown aboard the Space Shuttle four times, commanded a Shuttle mission to the International Space Station, and led the Astronaut Office's Advanced Projects Branch, which has provided key technical input to NASA's plan for exploration of the moon and Mars," said Ken Bowersox, director of Flight Crew Operations. "His forthright manner, technical expertise and inquisitive nature will be missed," he added.
After fulfilling his dream to pilot a Space Shuttle and see the world from space, Duane Carey is pursuing another dream to see the world from the open road.
Carey (below) is a retired Air Force Lt. Col. He plans to begin a motorcycle tour of the United States and eventually the world, camping along the way. He and his wife, Cheryl, are moving to Colorado Springs (CO), to prepare for the trip.
Selected as an astronaut by NASA in 1996, Carey was the pilot for Space Shuttle mission STS-109 in 2002, a maintenance flight to the Hubble Space Telescope. Carey served as a Space Shuttle CAPCOM, the communications liaison between Mission Control and spacecraft. He also worked in the Astronaut Office Spacecraft Systems/Operations Branch in Houston.
"Duane is an exceptional Shuttle pilot, but years ago he was bitten by the motorcycle touring bug, and he always wanted to return to near-Earth exploration of our country aboard a motorcycle," Bowersox said. "We'll really miss his skill and expertise, but we all envy him in some way for heading off in a new direction."
"Cheryl and I will attempt to fulfill a dream we first envisioned over 25 years ago. Our 22-plus years of public service in the Air Force and NASA have been incredibly rewarding, and we hope we've contributed something useful to our country over those years." Carey said.
During his motorcycle travels, Carey plans to talk to young people about the importance of math and science and the wonder of space travel.
"I owe a lot to my country," he explained. "I've been an Air Force jet pilot, and I've been an astronaut. Now I want to tell people the importance of space flight, especially in the smaller, more rural communities I expect to visit. To explore, we must always take some risks. We have to explore new territory. We don't know what we'll find out there, but we have to go out and find our future," Carey said.

General Strategies for Teaching
Effective teaching and sound pedagogy helps students with disabilities and benefit students without disabilities.
A wide array of instructional modes will reach a larger percentage of learners and address a greater number of student learning styles.
Do include the disability statement in the course syllabus and distribute the syllabus and statement during the first class meeting.
When available and appropriate, select a textbook with an accompanying study guide for optional student use.
Publish or announce reading assignments and list far in advance for students using taped or alternative material formats. Recording an entire book can take up to 6 months and ordering a book may take up to 2 weeks if the book is readily available and the student user is a current member of the Regional Day School for the Blind and Dyslexic.
Begin class with a review of the previous lecture. At the end of the class, summarize key points.
Provide students access to lecture notes, major concept outlines, and/or lesson highlights on the board before class or on a website or as a handout.
Use generous amounts of visual aides such as charts, video streaming, graphs, etc.
Give assignments both orally and in writing. Provide timelines and sequential steps (i.e. identify a topic, outline, submit rough draft, make necessary corrections for approval, final draft) for long range assignments.
Diminish or eliminate auditory and visual distractions.
Provide study questions, sample test questions or review sessions to help in mastering material and preparing for exams.
Encourage students to seek assistance during your office hours, to utilize the Tutoring Center services, Language Labs when appropriate, and study groups.
Use proximity as a tool for helping attention deficit or hyperactive students to focus by standing near their desk or table. Remember, planning is done in your seat; teaching is done on your feet.
Be Transparent. Talk to other faculty persons in your department and share success and failures on strategies that work and those that work even better.
Participate in faculty development activities sponsored by the PVAMU Center for Teaching Excellence and those offered at the System level.

HDMI Splitter For High Definition Display on Multiple Devices
HDMI Video Splitter works on the plug and play principle
Online Movie & Video Streaming: The HDMI Splitters send one HDMI source to multiple displays at the same time. These splitters support all types of HDMI devices such as DVD players, PlayStation 3 (PS3) and satellite set-top boxes. Using this device, both audio and video signals are transmitted digitally over one cable with zero signal loss. Unnecessary clutter is reduced, saving desktop space, since a single cable secures connections. HD resolutions of 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p, computer resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and a bandwidth of 225MHz are supported by these units. Since HDMI is backward compatible with DVI, this system works with either DVI or HDMI Input.
This HDMI Video Splitter works on the plug and play principle. A user needs to connect the Splitter from the HDMI source to the HDMI splitter input using a HDMI cable. The number of outputs will depend upon the type of splitter used. Newer models guarantee more synchronized in/out ports, high compatibility and high reliability.
The inputs can be flawlessly and seamlessly switched between the sources. Control is exercised by Infra Red remote or the front-panel manual control button on the HDMI Distribution Amplifier. The front-panel LED's indicate the input which has been selected. Compact in size, this splitter unit transmits uncompressed digital streams and buffers and amplifies outputs. This device ensures a simple way to connect a single HDMI input with two compatible displays.
High Definition Audio & Video Multi-Room Distribution
Crestron have just released their digital media solution which takes any number of analogue and digital inputs and distributes it as high definition to up to 16 rooms. Standard implementations of HDMI allow two 'hops' so your DVD player can, just, go from your home cinema receiver to your LCD or Plasma display. The Crestron system therefore regenerates the key at each point ensuring it is ready and waiting when your devices need it – saving the annoying wait as devices handshake which has become standard practice in the HDMI world. Crestron have actually taken the issue of HDMI distribution and gone a level beyond – a central matrix accepts all your inputs (digital and analogue) and distributes the video and audio over Cat5e/6 or fibre to room receivers. These receivers allow HD Video and up to 7.1 surround sound to be presented and even allow USB to be sent back to the central hub area – great for games consoles or PC control! As if that isn't enough the room controllers also contain RS232 ports for controlling display devices and closed contacts for controlling plasma lifts and other devices.

Candidate's Viewpoint: Leadership has brought results to Woodbury
It is an honor and a privilege to represent Washington County, and specifically, the northwest portion of Woodbury – precincts one, two, and seven.By: Bill Pulkrabek, Woodbury Bulletin
It is an honor and a privilege to represent Washington County, and specifically, the northwest portion of Woodbury – precincts one, two, and seven.
Some brief information about myself: I grew up in Washington County and have lived here almost my entire life. I am a real estate agent and a small business owner. I am the past president of my local chamber of commerce and the past vice president of Co-Action Academic Resources. I possess a master's degree from the Humphrey Institute and two BAs from the University of Minnesota in economics and political science. In my free time I enjoy hockey, fishing, tennis, travel, music and reading. I am 42 years old.
I have served as chair of the Washington County Board three times. Some of the noteworthy county successes that have come to fruition since I have been on County Board include:
• The R.H. Stafford Library opened in Woodbury.
• The old library site was converted to a service center where Woodbury citizens may look for jobs, get a driver's license or a passport, etc.
• The Environmental Center opened in Woodbury.
• A park and ride was initiated for mass transit in Woodbury
• Land and Water Legacy Referendum money was secured to purchase – in close partnership with the city of Woodbury – a major parcel along Manning Avenue which preserves open space, protects water quality and will be the future site of a park with walking trails.
• The building of the Tamarack Bridge, the widening and re-opening of the Valley Creek Bridge and the opening of the Woodbury Lakes frontage road off of I-94.
• Washington County has the lowest county tax rate in the metro area. Meaning, if you moved your home or business to any other county in the metro, you would pay more in county property taxes. Ramsey County is approximately 80 percent higher.
Once again, it would be an honor and a privilege to continue to serve the residents of our great county of Washington and the great city of Woodbury. I can be reached at 651-246-5694 (cell) and www.BillPulkrabek.com. Thank you for your consideration.
Pulkrabek is the incumbent candidate for Washington County Board, District 2
