In 1999, one of the most notable brands of the dot-com era – a name almost synonymous with the "World Wide Web" itself – made a bid to dominate the entire ecommerce market for individual, small and mid-size businesses.

There are many exciting and innovative things happening out there in the technology, developer and software worlds. Everything now is about data, Big Data, and building next-generation systems and platforms, and developers and companies are doing things now that no one imagined possible just a few short years ago.
I am a technology, B2B Marketing person, and have been fortunate to be part of this latest era of innovation. I've worked with all shapes and sizes of companies, and have always welcomed the fact that change is constant.
I look forward to more projects that foster that spirit of innovation, working with people who truly enjoy building something new from bold ideas, challenging old assumptions and "that's the way we've always done it" attitudes.
And now, for me, the seasons are changing. It's time to do something about one of those ideas – and I'm reminded of the old saying: "Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid."
I'll keep you posted.

The Louisiana Bulldogs broke out to a first-half lead and then held on for their initial win of the season at home against the Mark Twain Tigers on Friday, Sept. 20. The Bulldogs are now 1-3 on the year.
With 33 seconds to go in the game and the Tigers seemingly marching for a score, junior linebacker Dallas Castagna stripped the quarterback of the ball at the 25-yard line. Senior linebackers Tristan Castiglia and Austin Rule pounced on the pigskin to ice the 14-12 victory
"They kept playing hard and that was the key," said Head Coach Greg Purdum about his first win at Louisiana. "I'm very proud of them. They're getting better each week. The big play at the end was huge."
The Bulldogs took advantage of two Mark Twain penalties as the game started and drove to the five-yard line with 3:22 to go in the first quarter. Junior running back Cody Brown ran it up the middle for a score at the 1:50 mark. Senior running back Brycen Cropp then missed the extra point.
Twenty seconds later, Louisiana got the ball back at the Mark Twain 29-yard line when junior defensive lineman Hank Calvin recovered a fumble.
Louisiana fumbled the ball right back to start the second half but the Tigers couldn't respond on offense.
Mark Twain punted deep in their territory and junior wide receiver-kick returner Elijah Oblinger caught it with room to run. Oblinger found a hole on the left side, faked a defender and sprinted 45 yards to the Tigers three-yard line with 8:50 to go in the half.
Sophomore running back Lane Rule rambled in for a touchdown on the next play. At the time it didn't seem significant, but Rule ran the two-point conversion in to make it 14-0 with 8:47 to go in the half.
After Louisiana turned the ball over on downs at the Mark Twain 48-yard line with 2:48 to go in the half, the Tigers marched right down the field. However, Oblinger intercepted a pass with an over-the-shoulder catch in the end zone with 13 seconds left to squash the drive.
Second-half scare
The Bulldogs had confidence coming out for the second half, but with only 19 players dressed, Louisiana began to wear down as the two quarters progressed.
The Bulldogs fumbled it away to Mark Twain with 8:13 to go in the third quarter, but the Tigers couldn't respond as Louisiana's defense stiffened again.
Brown scampered for 35 yards to the Mark Twain 14-yard line with 4:07 to go in the third quarter, but Louisiana ended up turning it over on downs at the five-yard line at the 2:21 mark.
That's when the Tigers got back in the ball game.
Taking advantage of the Bulldogs strong pass rush, the Tigers threw a screen pass to the left side that went 85 yards to the Louisiana 10-yard line.
On the next play with 27 seconds to go in the third quarter, Mark Twain's Trey Arndt ran it in from the 10. The two-point conversion failed and it was 14-6.
Mark Twain recovered an onside kick with 23 seconds left in the third quarter but the Tigers' first drive of the fourth quarter stalled.
Louisiana took over on downs at the Tigers 32-yard line after a bad punt snap at the 9:46 mark, but fumbled the ball right back.
Mark Twain drove to the Louisiana 34-yard line with 2:51 to go in the game. On a fourth down, Tigers tight end Dalton Hawkinson caught a long bomb from quarterback Ethan Mack for a 35-yard score.
With the fans screaming, the Bulldogs defense and stopped a two-point conversion sweep to the right at the half-yard line to make it 14-12.
Another Mark Twain onside kick was recovered this time by Louisiana. But the Bulldogs couldn't make yardage and turned the ball over to Mark Twain on downs at the Tigers 44-yard line with 50 seconds to go.
Mark Twain then completed a long pass down the sideline and was knocking on the door at the Louisiana 21-yard line with 41 seconds left. That's when the Louisiana defense forced the fumble and recovered to win.
Sophomore quarterback Zach Richardson had a tough game, with zero completions on four passing attempts and minus-one yard rushing on nine carries.
However, Richardson's teammates picked him up with 231 yards rushing on 48 attempts for a 4.8 yards per carry average.
Lane Rule had 16 carries for 93 yards and Brown had 12 carries for 91 yards.
"Any time you have two backs with almost 100 yards apiece, you're doing well," Purdum said. "They're learning to follow their blocks."
Austin Rule added 35 yards on seven carries and Castagna ran four times for 13 yards.
Castiglia proved to be a monster on defense, with eight solo tackles and four for losses.
Lane Rule was credited with 6 1/2 tackles from his defensive backfield spot and Castagna had 5 1/2 tackles.
Austin Rule and senior defensive back Brycen Cropp both had 4 1/2 tackles. Junior defensive back Tyler Francis had four tackles.
Oblinger had three tackles, while Calvin had 2 1/2. Junior defensive lineman Ricky Love had 1 1/2 tackles, as did Brown. Sophomore defensive lineman Davin Lindsay had a tackle assist.
Next game
The Bulldogs are scheduled to play at home against the Palmyra Panthers at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 27.

MoreComplex event processing is a relatively new technology, but it's changing the way enterprise solutions are designed. CEP-enabled solutions become aware of their running environment, both operational and business, and enable the applications to react to changes in real time.
This session will present to attendees the concepts behind CEP and how it fits in the enterprise infrastructure to bring real-time awareness to business applications. It will detail what an event-driven architecture (EDA) is and how it complements service-oriented architectures (SOAs), enabling smarter decisions through event-driven business process management (edBPM) and event-aware business rules.
During the presentation, examples of the concepts applied to real use cases will be demonstrated using the JBoss® Enterprise BRMS platform, more specifically the Drools Fusion module, to enable seamless integration between CEP and business rules. After attending the session, attendees will know:
- What CEP, EDA, edBPM, business rules and BAM ar.
- How EDA and CEP can be applied to design and develop applications that respond to the business environment events in real time.
- How JBoss middleware can help achieve that goal through JBoss Enterprise BRMS.

Christopher Hanewinckel/USA TODAY SportsDerrick Marks' choice to leave home in Chicago for Boise State shocked some. He's never looked back.
McKenzie Marks was surprised when her brother came home and announced his decision.
After an impressive recruiting visit, Derrick Marks had decided to play for Boise State.
Not the first destination family and friends thought the 6-foot-3 guard would consider after his upbringing on the South Side of Chicago.
"Oh my goodness. When he told us he was going to Boise State, he didn't even ask us or anything," McKenzie Marks said. "I was like 'Wait. … Idaho?'"
Even Derrick Marks admits that he never thought he'd compete for the Broncos as a prep. But he clearly made the right choice. In his first two seasons with the team, he's emerged as an offensive star for a squad that could win the Mountain West title this season and rally in the NCAA tournament.
"I couldn't really tell you how I ended up in Boise," he said. "When I came on my visit, it just felt like the right place I had to be. I don't know. Boise's just a good city and I felt like I wanted to come to college here. … I feel like this was the perfect fit and I have the right coaching staff, I have the right teammates around me and I feel like I'll get to the place that I want to be at."
Boise State is among a pool of programs that should enter the season on the Top 25 bubble. Former Gonzaga assistant Leon Rice has assembled a team that boasts a crop of young talent who guided the program to a surprising NCAA tourney slot last season. Rice's best players from that group return.
But his term didn't start with that potential when he arrived in 2010. After losing multiple seniors following his first season, Rice began 2011-12 with 11 new players, a group that included Marks.
"From the first moment I saw him, it's just one of those guys I fell in love with," Rice said. "He had some rough edges and things we felt like we had to polish up once we got him. Thing about Derrick is he's just a worker. He's found a way to get better at all these things."

Topic: The Great Gatsby
In "The Great Gatsby", why does Daisy say she wishes her daughter to be a "beautiful fool?"
1 Answer | add yours
Despite the fact that Daisy seems to be completely enthralled with money and the material objects that come with it, she is also completely aware of her surroundings. Even though she tries to pretend that her husband is not a violent person and that he is not having an affair, Daisy knows the truth about what is going on around her. We know this from the first time we meet Daisy – at the dinner party with Nick and Jordan in Chapter One. Daisy wishes this for her daughter because if her daughter is a "fool" she will not be able to recognize when a man is treating her poorly or cheating on her as is the case with the life that Daisy must live through everyday.

Nearly 12,000 workers say they were receiving inadequate pay and benefits.
Sunday night, the cleaners' union cut a four-year deal with the Commercial Building Cleaning Contractors Association, an organization representing the area's major commercial cleaning companies
As part of the plan, cleaners will receive an average yearly pay increase of four percent.
Union members must still ratify the tentative agreements.
The contract covers 5,000 commercial cleaners working in hundreds of commercial properties in Washington, D.C. such as Washington Square, International Square, Georgetown's Washington Harbor and One Franklin Square, according to a news release from the Service Employees International Union.

The Wall Street Journal recently reported on the biggest mistakes doctors make on November 18, 2013. This may be the most important article on this topic I have read in years. It begins with discouraging news – "medical errors lead to permanent damage or death for as many as 160,000 patients each year, according to researchers at Johns Hopkins University." (Every time I read data on deaths and injuries from medical errors, the numbers continue to increase.) Diagnostic errors appear to be the main problem, which cause considerable harm or death 85% of the time. The article includes a chart that delineates the "common biases" that cause doctors to make incorrect diagnosis. It reads like a script of every medical malpractice case I have ever settled or tried.
Our firm recently settled a tragic medical malpractice case that exposed almost all of the biases discussed in the WSJ article. It involved the death of a 19 year old girl who presented to the ER at 4:30 am with complaints of severe, stabbing chest pain. This followed a week of gastrointestinal illness, that had improved before admission to the ER. However, the ER doctors heard that she had vomiting and diarrhea that week (not that it improved) and quickly assumed her "chest pain" was really "upper abdominal pain" and not a sign of a heart problem (which was pericariditis). [CONFIRMATION BIAS]. Besides, they thought, ER doctors see GI illnesses all the time in the ER [AVAILABILITY], and pericariditis is rather rare. [ZEBRA RETREAT]. They gave her fluids because they figured she must be dehydrated, even though fluids did not improve her condition [ANCHORING]. Sadly, this only increased the pressure on her heart, which actually had a treatable virus that they ignored. They also assumed that because she was a slender teenage girl, she may have anorexia [GENDER BIAS & ATTRIBUTION ERROR]. They never bothered to ask her pediatrician who called into the ER whether she had any psychiatric history [UNPACKING PRINCIPLE]. The ER doctors admitted her to the pediatric floor and figured that she would be further evaluated there, so there was no need to further investigate her deteriorating condition in the ER. [NEED FOR CLOSURE]. When she arrived on the in-patient floor, the residents and interns who took over assumed she must have a GI problem because that's what the ER attending assumed and they pumped her with even more fluids. [BANDWAGON EFFECT & DIAGNOSIS MOMENTUM.] Her heart condition went undiagnosed and untreated for 15 hours in the hospital while they exacerbated her condition with copious amounts of fluids. Eventually, she went into cardiac arrest and died. A cardiologist was never contacted . . . until after she went into cardiac arrest.
These problems are all variations on a theme. Doctors will usually take the path to a diagnosis that is easiest, efficient, and expeditious. This is a dangerous habit for many professions, whether you are a doctor, a structural engineer, or a lawyer. The good news is that this largely can be solved by asking – "How can I prove myself (and others) wrong?" Our poor teenager was doomed the moment she set foot in the ER because no one asked that question.
So what can you do for yourself and your family? See the WSJ chart. In short, get your story out, ask lots of questions, and do NOT assume that things are happening as you would expect. For example, if you do not learn the result of a test result, do not assume it is reassuring. Think of yourself as a "partner" with your physician in your health care decisions. And, when you are prepared to accept a diagnosis from a doctor that does not seem right, ask yourself:
"How can I prove myself wrong?"'

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- State health officials acknowledged Friday that this year's flu virus is more likely than most strains to hit children and young people. Officially, they confirm seven deaths in California, but at least 28 other cases are still being investigated, including two new fatalities reported Friday in Alameda County. Those cases would bring the death toll confirmed by Bay Area health officials to 11. The flu is now considered widespread in California -- hitting earlier, and spreading faster-than-expected for this time of year.
When Matty Walker came down with the flu, his co-workers didn't think too much of it. After all, he was only 23 years old.
"He was young, he was healthy that's why it's such a shock and that he went so quick," co-worker Connie Petersen said.
Walker posted a picture of himself at the hospital Dec. 26 on Facebook. He wrote, "Lying on gurney with 103 temp today. No fun...." His illness lasted over two weeks. Then on Wednesday, he was dead.
Walker was one of 10 severe flu cases in Sonoma County so far this season. Of the 10, four people have been less than 50 years old, a percentage consistent with the H1N1 pandemic of 2009.
"It feels like it's a very steep and very compressed time frame where we're seeing this pretty dramatic increase," Sonoma County Interim Health Director Karen Holbrook said. "But how that's going to play out over the entire season, it's too early to tell."
Walker's father says his son didn't get the flu shot, but beyond that, he says he didn't take good care of himself. He says he didn't sleep a lot and didn't eat well, which he believes were factors in not being able to fight off the flu.
Flu season typically peaks in February or March, but state health officials say they're already seeing deaths and hospitalizations earlier than usual. The majority of those who have died from the flu had the H1N1 strain. All of the victims were under 65, but none of the deaths so far this year have been children.
Kaiser Permanente Friday acknowledged some "spot shortages" of the flu vaccine over the past few days. They are shifting supplies to facilities that are running short. Other than that, the flu shots seem to be widely available.
Safeways throughout the Bay Area and Northern California reports a substantial increase in walk-in's for flu shots. Maybe the deal of 10 percent off groceries is an incentive. The price for catching the flu can be high.
Medical teams working in tents outside Regional Medical Center say they're seeing about one-third more patients seeking emergency room treatment. Many suspect it's flu.
The outbreak is prompting some Bay Area churches to take precautionary measures. The Oakland Diocese is encouraging pastors to reach out to their parishioners this weekend.
"It's very customary and traditional for us to greet one another with a handshake or an embrace, and we're cautioned now to respect each other's space," said St. Joseph's pastor, Father John Direen.
In prayer, parishioners will be asked to hold their hands up instead of linking them. And at St Joseph's in Berkeley, people will find something extra at their seats.
"We had one parishioner come in a couple days ago with three boxes of hand sanitizer that we're going to put in all the pews," Father Direen said.
Most of the confirmed H1N1 cases have involved middle-aged adults. When there was an outbreak of the same flu strain in 2009, it targeted school-age children. Some schools even closed for a week to minimize the spread. This time, the pattern is starting out differently.
"We are actually not hearing that much from schools, concerns from schools," Santa Clara County Health Officer, Dr. Sara Cody said. "What we have in place is something we have had for a while, and it runs year 'round, which is that one of our communicable disease nurses is a liaison to the school nurses, so there's very good communication back and forth."
A mask is another way to avoid getting the flu or spreading it.
"If you have a cough or you're sneezing, please wear a mask, and that's to help reduce the spread from the ill person to the well people who might be sitting by, and you can also wear a mask to prevent spread to yourself," Cody said.

Publisher's Description
From Rese Applications Schlaepfer:
MODO v5 is an integrated GUI front-end to the MODTRAN5 radiative transfer code, running on the IDL virtual machine. It has been created to ease the modelling of the at-sensor radiance for hyperspectral sensors but also for generic radiometric simulation tasks. The basic functionality includes: MODTRAN (creation and translation of tape5-s), plotting the MODTRAN-Outputs, extraction and conversion of spectra from the MODTRAN-Output, easy creation of sensitivity analysis series, and convolution of spectra to hyperspectral band characteristics. The distribution of MODO includes platform-specific MODTRAN4 exectuables, compiled from the original MODTRAN code and is compatible to all current operating systems (Solaris/Linux/MacOSX/Windows).
What's new in this version: Version 5.0 adds full support for MODTRAN 5 v2r11.

Cong. Gwen Moore urges the community to vote Nov. 6 for Obama, Baldwin
November 2, 2012 // 0 Comments
by U.S. Rep Gwen Moore
Voters have a clear choice on Nov. 6. We can choose to keep moving America and our communities forward by re-electing President Barack Obama.
Or we can chose to take America backwards to the failed policies that caused these problems in the first place.
In the US Senate race, voters can elect a strong and loyal ally of President Obama in Tammy Baldwin, or they can choose her opponent Tommy Thompson – who has promised to block and obstruct President Obama at every turn.
The choice is clear. Voters must re-elect President Barack Obama, and vote for Tammy Baldwin for US Senate, on Nov. 6 for the sake of our community and our country.
Barack Obama and Tammy Baldwin have already demonstrated they are a pretty good team. And they will continue to fight for good jobs, education, and investing in our community.
Barack Obama and Tammy Baldwin will always put the people ahead of powerful special interest.
Tommy Thompson? For the past seven years he has worked at a well-connected DC lobbying firm, representing big, powerful special interests like big oil, drug companies and big banks.
The contrast couldn't be clearer. As former President Bill Clinton pointed out, Tammy Baldwin has spent her career standing up to the special interests, while Tommy Thompson has been standing with them.
Let's keep moving America forward, and let's elect leaders who will put the people ahead of profits for the powerful.
Re-elect President Barack Obama, and vote for Tammy Baldwin for US Senate on November 6th. Let's keep this team together, so they can fight for us.

The 1970s marina and golf course development at Port El Kantaoui was a major project undertaken by the Tunisian government to attract tourists to the country. British designer Commander John Harris was called in to assist with the golfing aspects of the work and he brought in Peter Thomson, Michael Wolveridge and Ron Fream to help.
When the initial 18 holes opened at El Kantaoui in 1980, Ron Fream was the only member of the design team left in Tunisia and he would go on to spend a large part of his time over the next 20 years laying out courses around the country, including another at this complex in the 1990s.
El Kantaoui opened in a blaze of glory, holding the inaugural but short lived Tunisian Open in 1982. It consolidated its position as the leading course in the country during the 1980s before an additional 18 holes were laid out on the complex during the 1990s. The new course became the Panorama and the old course was named Sea.

Well I have been in the web development and online SEO and SEM for years and there are a lot of tools that SEO professionals use for different things. Some of them use tools that you may not have ever heard of but can be useful.
I will share some tools that I used that can be of value to any SEO professional.
The first one would have to be keyword discovery because every SEO professional knows how important it is to have the right keywords and this tool will help you find out how many people have search the keyword you are going after.
The second tool that I use is Quora.com to help me find things that I want to write on they have a list of questions people ask on numerous topics that may make it easier for you to write on a subject that people are interested in.
The third tool I use is hoot suite for all my social media promotions, no SEO professional just writes content for the fun of it and doesn't want to have their great work found.
I also use Google analytics to track where my visitors are coming from and what their using my site for, it can be a very handy tool to any one doing SEO for any professional.
The last two tools that I use for SEO are web master tools and Search Engine Watch. Now you may be asking why search engine watch and its simple I use them as a resource for break news in the SEO and SEM word and they have a lot of great SEO advice for any one that is trying out SEO for the first time.
Now go have some fun with the new tools and let me know what works for you the best!

5 things you need to know in boys' hockey this week
1. Medfield Clinches Tri-Valley League Title -- The Warriors kept their hopes of becoming TVL champions alive last week on Feb. 6 when they defeated rival Medway. Seven days later, Medfield defeated Dover-Sherborn, 5-0, at its home rink to dash Medway's chances at the Tri-Valley League title and took it for itself. The Warriors have lost just one game on the season, winning the other 17 they've played with 102 goals scored compared to just 18 goals against. It's safe to say Medfield is one of the best boys hockey teams in Division 3.
2. Reading and Archbishop Williams Clinch League Titles -- Medfield wasn't the only team to wrap up its league Wednesday night, with the Bishops and Rockets winning the Catholic Central Conference and Middlesex League respectively. It's that time of year where championships are being won and both these teams are deserving of theirs. Archies is 11-2-4 record heading into the Cape Cod Classic tournament while the Rockets are 14-1-5 with two games left on their schedule. Both these teams are locks for the Super 8 tournament.
3. Tewksbury Serious Contender for Division 2 Title -- The Redmen are 13-2-1 on the season and are not far removed from their last Division 2 title. There's little reason to believe Tewksbury couldn't take home the title again this year when you consider the team has lost just one game since falling to Chelmsford 7-1 in the season-opener. A great game that will test the Redmen will be the last game of the season when they go on the road to play Wilmington. That's going to be a tightly contested final game between two of the top Division 2 teams in Massachusetts.
4. Huge Middlesex Tilt This Saturday -- Wilmington was named to the Super 8 watchlist even as a Division 2 team and can vastly help its chances of making the tournament this Saturday against Reading. The Wildcats have yet to play the Globe's No. 4 team and will need to be on their game at Ristuccia Memorial Arena. The Rockets just won the league title and are only one game removed from hanging 10 goals on Belmont on Feb. 6.
5. Cape Cod Classic Tournament one to Watch -- The Cape Cod Classic tournament has a field featuring quite a few Super 8 probables and hopefuls. The tournament starts Saturday, with the likes of Archbishop Williams, Duxbury and BC High all playing that day. The Cape tournament has serious Super 8 implications and is a must-see event for any boys hockey fans in the area this weekend.

Is Obama abdicating party leadership on marriage?
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney deflected a series of questions Thursday on whether President Obama is deferring his role as party leader by withholding support for same-sex marriage as other Democrats vocally support it.
Under questioning from the Washington Blade, Carney dodged in terms of what the president's lack of support for same-sex marriage means for party leadership and said Obama isn't involved in Democratic Party platform development.
"I can tell you that he is not engaged in the very early stages of what I understand to be platform development, and I would refer you simply to discussions the folks you mentioned are having," Carney said. "But the president's position hasn't changed, so I have no new announcements to make in on it."
Democratic National Convention chair Antonio Villaraigosa on Wednesday announced support for including marriage equality in the Democratic Party platform. In an exclusive Washington Blade report, 22 U.S. senators last week announced they support the idea of including such a plank in the platform. Meanwhile, Obama has been evolving on same-sex marriage for nearly 17 months.
Pressed by the Blade on whether Obama is missing an opportunity to lead not just the Democratic Party, but the country as a whole, Carney stood his ground, saying, "I appreciate the question. I just don't have anything new to report to you on it."
Obama first said he could "evolve" to support marriage equality in October 2010 during an interview with progressive bloggers in response to a question from AMERICAblog's Joe Sudbay. In 1996, Obama said he supported marriage equality in a questionnaire response to what is now the Windy City Times, saying, "I favor legalizing same-sex marriage, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages," but that position later changed.
In response to further questioning, Carney declined to identify what is preventing Obama from completing this evolution, or whether fear of political backlash or the president's faith is playing a role in blocking him from announcing support.
"Look, I will leave it to president — perhaps he wasn't about asked about this — maybe the next time he gives a press conference, one of you can ask him about it," Carney said. "It's entirely up to you if you want to be told, which you might be, that he doesn't have any news to make on it, but I really have no update for you."
On Tuesday, President Obama held a news conference at the White House. Reporters asked about the Republican presidential primary, the development of nuclear weapons in Iran and conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh calling activist Sandra Fluke a "slut," but no question came up on marriage.
Carney also had no comment on the timing for when Obama would complete his evolution or whether it would happen in time to help the pro-LGBT side in marriage equality fights at the ballot in as many as five states this year: North Carolina, Minnesota, Maine, Maryland and Washington State.
"That's a circuitous way of asking the same question," Carney said. "And just don't have any news for you on the president's position."
Washington Blade: Thanks, Jay. Democrats in support of same-sex marriage are speaking more loudly on the issue. 22 U.S. senators have told me they support the idea of including a marriage equality plank in the Democratic Party platform. And yesterday, Democratic National Convention chair Antonio Villaraigosa also said he backs such language, saying, "I think it's basic to who we are." By being in a state of evolution now on this issue for nearly 17 months, is the president deferring leadership of his own party?
Jay Carney: No, Chris. I can tell you that he is not engaged in the very early stages of what I understand to be platform development, and I would refer you simply to discussions the folks you mentioned are having. But the president's position hasn't changed, so I have no new announcements to make in on it.
Blade: But by being in this state of evolution, I mean, the president is missing an opportunity to lead, not just for the Democratic Party, but for the country as a whole.
Carney: I appreciate the question. I just don't have anything new to report to you on it.
Blade: Just to follow up on that, can you identify what is obstructing the president from completing his evolution on this issue? Is there some sort of fear of political backlash during an election year? You mentioned something before about this process involving the president's faith.
Carney: …Look, I will leave it to president — perhaps he wasn't about asked about this — maybe the next time he gives a press conference, one of you can ask him about it. It's entirely up to you if you want to be told, which you might be, that he doesn't have any news to make on it, but I really have no update for you.
Blade: One last question on this. Marriage is going to be on the ballot for voters in as many as five states this year. In North Carolina, that's going to come before voters in May. Will the president announce [support for] same-sex marriage before it's too late to help start conversations and help gay and lesbian couples are seeking to get married in these states?
Carney: That's a circuitous way of asking the same question. And just don't have any news for you on the president's position.

We progressives just can't resist handing over this sure-winner issue for the Republicans in 2012. There's no question that Obama coming out full-steam for marriage equality will be a net loser for his reelection chances. Democrats and Independents who will withhold their votes for the President absent his unequivocal endorsement of marriage equality are idiots. Ignore them.
Be strategic, as our enemies are.
Stop pressing Obama on this, at this point in his reelection campaign.
I may not withold my vote for him, yet I will also not campaign door to door, or phone bank for him either. He needs to act like a man and act courageously for what is just and right, regardless of the consequences. Enough of watching his obvious sitting on the picket fence (ouch..that must hurt..), and taking credit for such things as DADT repeal. He'd have all of our community out to vote for him if he just followed his "evolving" views to include civil rights and equality for all…no if, ands, or buts.
it is pure politics at this point. Obama will still say that marriage is between a man and a woman until he gets re-elected. If he gets relected, he will gladly come out and endorse gay marriage….

'Impel' The Fat! Club TFCEP005
The Fat! Club EP005 by Fat! Records/
YEPIMNICK is no stranger to the rave scene, despite being fresh faced at just 19 years old. Having started DJing at about 13, he found himself playing to crowds outside the confines of his bedroom at the tender age of 16. Whilst still very much underage, what YEPIMNICK lacked in years, he made up with knowledge and bravado. Pushing pretty much everything you can move to from behind the ones and twos, from grime to house, dubstep to tech and beyond, YEPIMNICK brings face melters, deep belters and the downright outrageous .
"I love a good weekend" says YEPIMNICK, and it's easy to tell from his sets that it's where his heart lies. Having grown up like many of us being influenced by The Streets, YEPIMNICK was a vinyl aficionado from the start, dabbling in anything and everything he could get his hands on. Taking that extensive music knowledge and turning his hand to producing, YEPIMNICK has some undeniably massive sounding tracks under his belt, and there's more yet to come.

- Former Broncos boss Mike Shanahan on verge of being named coach of Redskins
ASHBURN, VA. — At the podium stood Mike Shanahan, who has a $35 million, five-year contract that gives him final authority over football decisions as head coach and executive vice president of the Washington Redskins.
Seated at a nearby table was Bruce Allen, the first general manager Dan Snyder has hired in 11 years of owning the team.
And nowhere on the stage was Snyder, who sat next to his wife Tanya as a member of the audience in the Redskins Park auditorium.
It was the first time he hasn't introduced a new coach, a powerful symbol of how the balance of power has shifted within a proud franchise.
"Dan Snyder has directed us to please get this team back to the levels where it's been in the past," Allen said. "And I believe he's going to be our most supportive fan."
Shanahan made his formal debut Wednesday, one day after signing his contract and just two days after Jim Zorn was fired following a 4-12 season. The winner of two Super Bowls in the 1990s with the Denver Broncos spoke mainly in generalities with polish and confidence, far from the nervous and ragged performance given by rookie coach Zorn 23 months ago.
"It doesn't happen overnight," Shanahan said, "but we're going to give it the best shot we have."
For most of his time as owner, Snyder has been a hands-on manager yielding a strong influence on roster decisions. But the Redskins are 82-99 on his watch, missing the playoffs in eight of 11 seasons, so three weeks ago he hired Allen and ousted longtime front office confidant Vinny Cerrato.
Therefore, in less than a month, the Redskins have gone from an organization that revolved primarily around Snyder and his yes-man to one that includes two established decision-makers firmly in charge.
Shanahan, who had a similar arrangement with the Broncos, downplayed the power he's been given.

"I do have final say," Shanahan said, "but I never used it in Denver." Snyder tried this once before with coach Marty Schottenheimer in 2001 — before the two butted heads and Schottenheimer was fired after an 8-8 season. Snyder also deferred to Joe Gibbs when the Hall of Fame coach came out of retirement, but this is the first time the owner has taken this much of a back seat.
Shanahan made the playoffs in half of his seasons in Denver, and had only two losing seasons — 6-10 in 1999 and 7-9 in 2007. His greatest successes came early, winning consecutive Super Bowls after the 1997 and '98 seasons with a team led by quarterback John Elway.
He was fired a year ago after the Broncos missed the playoffs for the third straight season.
Shanahan's career regular-season record is 146-98, including 138-86 with the Broncos from 1995-2008, and 8-12 with the Los Angeles Raiders in 1988-89. Shanahan's playoff record is 8-5.
"We needed a guy like Mike Shanahan," cornerback DeAngelo Hall said. "We needed a proven leader, a proven winner. He's definitely going to get these guys motivated and get the most out of all of them."

Symbolic Nooses Reveal Racial Divide
By: Bob Allen
Posted: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 12:00 am
Protests sparked by the hanging of three nooses from a Louisiana schoolyard tree have sparked a series of copycat acts, further fueling a debate over America's lingering legacy of racial injustice and violence.
Last Thursday campus police at Indiana State University received a report of a hemp noose about four inches in diameter hanging in a tree between two campus buildings. By the time police arrived, according to the Terre Haute Tribune Star, the noose had apparently blown away.
The following night at a concert in Terre Haute, rock performer and Indiana native son John Mellencamp speculated the perpetrators might have thought the act was funny, before lecturing concert-goers about the wounding legacy of the symbol of racial hatred.
"That's not funny, and it's not what this country is about," Mellencamp said, before launching into "Jena," a new song that itself sparked controversy when the mayor of the infamous hometown of the "Jena Six" protested that it unfairly cast the town as an epicenter of racial injustice and bigotry.
With a few exceptions, the response to Jena tends to break down along racial lines, observed Alan Bean of Friends of Justice, the white American Baptist minister credited with bringing international media attention to the small-town civil-rights case turned microcosm of America's original sin of racism.
"White people often have a hard time seeing a noose hanging from a tree as a big deal," Bean said in a recent blog. "Many African-Americans refuse to see Justin Barker as a victim. White people tend to identify with Jena's white residents; black people commonly demonize them. Few observers on either side of the racial divide understand how bizarre missteps by a handful of public officials created a toxic environment for all students, black and white."
Since a Sept. 20 rally brought thousands of mostly black marchers to Jena, a predominantly white town of about 3,000 residents, the use of nooses as a symbol of hate has cropped up in other places.
Someone hung a noose on the door of a black professor at Columbia University, sparking campus outrage.
The town of Hempstead, N.Y., announced mandatory diversity training after discovery of two nooses at the town's highway department.
Two nooses were found in the lockers of two black New York City Parks Department supervisors and another was discovered hanging from a lamppost in front of a post office near the former World Trade Center site.
Other incidents included nooses found at Home Depot stores in New Jersey and Illinois, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and the University of Maryland.
New York lawmakers are considering a law making it a felony to display lynchings in a threatening manner. A drilling company just paid $290,000 to settle an EEOC lawsuit alleging it subjected African-American men to a racially hostile work environment that included hangman's nooses.
A family in Stratford, Conn., took down a "hanging man" Halloween decoration in their front yard after black leaders, clergy and neighbors complained that it resembled a black man hanging from a noose.
An interactive "noose watch" by DiversityInc.com reported 37 noose incidents known to have been reported to authorities.
While many whites may be unaware of images of white mobs lynching blacks in the Old South, African-American families often grow up with stories of distant relatives who died that way.
Between 1882 and 1968, there were a documented 4,743 lynchings in the United States, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Usually black men, the victims were beaten, hanged and mutilated, often in public squares. White families would watch and take photos, and those committing the acts went unpunished.
That history is one reason why black and white Americans report vastly different perceptions of race relations in the country.
A recent poll found that African-Americans pay far more attention to news stories that imply the justice system is unfair to blacks.
The poll conducted for CNN by Opinion Research Corp. found that 35 percent of whites, compared with 10 percent of blacks, said that they did not know enough about the Jena Six case to respond to questions.
Seventy-nine percent of blacks compared with 33 percent of whites knew enough about the case to say that the six black teenagers in Jena, La., were treated unfairly by the town's justice system.
Twenty-nine percent of whites and 10 percent of blacks thought that the black teenagers were treated fairly.
Al Sharpton, Martin Luther King III and other civil-rights leaders are organizing a Nov. 16 march on Washington to call for tougher prosecution of hate-crime laws by local and state officials as well as the federal government.

I stopped giving ds milk a few weeks ago because of his eczema. I have noticed a drastic improvement in both his appetite and his eczema along with the fact that he drinks a lot more. He has a straw sippy that he has all day with water in it. It holds 14 oz and I refill it at least twice a day plus before bed. So I would say he is drinking at least 20 oz of water alone. If he takes a nap he wakes up cranky and he gets a treat of 6 oz water/4 oz juice and two peanut butter cookies while he snuggles with me on the couch. Sometimes he asks for more juice and I give it to him. I know they are only supposed to have so many oz of juice a day but some days he doesn't have any so I guess it all evens out. He has been taking a nap almost every day because of this. So I would say that he is getting at least 30 oz of fluid a day. Is there such a thing as too much? I am so glad that he likes water and he likes to have something to drink close by all of the time. He is having one or two more wet diapers during the day but I have noticed that his diapers are a lot better. I check him often so I am assuming that he just lets it all out at once. Anyone else have a super thirsty toddler?
