Co-Founder Robert Hammond will be stepping down at the end of 2013 after nearly fifteen years of leadership at Friends of the High Line. He leaves behind a legacy that extends far beyond the mile-and-a-half of the High Line. Robert's creative vision, entrepreneurial spirit, and irreverent approach will live on in the work we do each day, to maintain and operate the High Line.
We asked Robert to share a few favorite memories from his years at the High Line. Follow us after the jump for photos and reflections in Robert's own words.
To hear more of Robert's memories, join us on Thursday, December 5, for a special farewell talk.
The High Line stays open year-round, and there's always a good reason to come visit us. Here's a guide to the High Line's public events this December.
The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees – each chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share one of our gardeners' current favorites with you.
The summer season is behind us, but don't fear the cold! While brisk and windy at times, recent weather has been comfortable for leisurely walks along the High Line. These past few weeks, visitors have enjoyed the warm colors of fall foliage and the changing landscape of the park's plantings, now dominated with architectural seed heads and dried stems instead of bright blooms.
One of the High Line's most beloved features, the 10th Avenue Square, is still a popular place to soak up the sun, relax, or share a bite to eat. High Line Photographer Eddie Crimmins caught this lovely moment earlier in the month.
The subject of this Photo of the Week caught our eye because of its playful and creative interpretation of one of the park's iconic design features.
Photographer and Lego enthusiast Chris Christian created this Lilliputian version of one of the rolling lounge chairs from the High Line's Diller – von Furstenberg Sundeck. During a recent visit to New York earlier this season, he snapped this photo of his creation side-by-side with the real thing. This particular model was the 249th in his 2013 "A Lego a Day" project.
On Saturday, October 26, 2,500 kids and adults joined us for the third-annual Haunted High Line Halloween celebration. Families came in costume to enjoy art activities, music, and "real" High Line ghosts stationed from Little West 12th to 17th Streets. The celebration drew on the spooky history of Manhattan's west side, where dark factories loomed and dangerous freight trains ruled "Death Avenue."
We'd like to thank the students of the School of Visual Arts' Interior Design program for creating out first haunted train tunnel!
See photos from the day after the jump.
Tonight we unveiled the latest design concept for the Spur, a unique area within the third section of the High Line at the Rail Yards, at a public presentation at the School of Visual Arts Theatre.
Neighbors, supporters, members, and friends gathered for a presentation of renderings of the Spur by the High Line Design Team's James Corner of James Corner Field Operations and Ric Scofidio of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, as well as an update on the progress on construction and the project timeline by Friends of the High Line Co-Founder Robert Hammond.
Join us after the jump for the just-released renderings of the Spur.

I have owned this pump for about 6 months now. It is a real quality build compared to the Giyo pump I still own. I would not hesitate to buy another when this dies.It operates smoothly and to high pressure with ease.I really like the screw on valve which makes it almost impossible to break or damage your valves on your tyres or rims.I have no hesitation in recommending this quality product.

PEORIA, Ill. -- A Peoria man accused of murdering his wife last Valentine's Day had his trial pushed back to May 5 on Monday.
Nathan Leuthold's trial was originally scheduled to begin on March 10. Monday, both sides agreed that the original date was probably too premature.
Circuit Judge Kevin Lyons said that there are over a dozen other cases scheduled for May 5, but Leuthold's case would get priority. He has been in custody since March of last year. The case is expected to take about a week when it gets underway.
Leuthold is accused of shooting his wife, Denise, last year. She was found gunshot wound inside her parent's home at 700 West Mossville Road.
Leuthold's next court date is March 13.


text: These eighteen photographs of an abandoned farmhouse and barn were made during a walk in early Spring outside Beacon, NY. The place was barely visible from the small road that passed it. What drew me in was the spirit of nature taking over, the newly emerged flowers and grasping vines entangling the door, windows and walls. Decaying furniture, a rusted oil lantern, a tiny stub of old candle in the basket-clad Chianti bottle next to it and so it goes - all the images beckon the question who, and where did the inhabitants go and why?

Aldon Smith is back on the San Francisco 49ers roster. The team announced Thursday that the outside linebacker has been activated from the non-football injury list after he took after an extended voluntary leave of absence to deal with off-field issues. Smith will be eligible to play for the 49ers following the team's Week 9 bye, assuming he doesn't receive a suspension from the NFL.
On the field, Smith's 2013 season got off to an excellent start. He had 4.5 sacks through the 49ers' first three games.
Off the field was another matter. Smith was arrested for driving under the influence after wrecking his car on a tree in a single-vehicle accident in September. He stepped away from the team voluntarily and checked himself into rehab after police found marijuana and pills inside Smith's vehicle. While Smith was in rehab, he was charged with felony weapons possession. He turned himself in on the gun charges Wednesday.
The league has yet to take any disciplinary action against Smith. If Roger Goodell doesn't respond, Smith is expected to suit up when the 49ers play the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 10.

Marvel at the vintage luxury automobiles in a Rolls-Royce Museum tucked away in a remote mountain fortress, and then meander through the vibrant old quarter of Bilbao.
Departing from the pier, it's a scenic drive inland through the enchanting mountains that define Spain's beautiful Basque country. In time, you'll come upon majestic Concejuelo Castle, a treasure hidden away off the main road. What's even more remarkable is the Rolls-Royce Museum that's all but hidden inside its tower, the Torre Loizaga.
This little-known, yet amazing collection of luxury automobiles contains more than 40 vintage Rolls-Royces, including a 1910 Silver Ghost and a legendary Phantom IV, of which only 18 were ever made, strictly for heads of state such as Queen Elizabeth. To complement the priceless Rolls-Royces, there are more than 25 other makes of luxury cars, including a Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari Testarossa and several rare Bentleys.
After you have filled your head with thoughts of owning one of these beauties, it's time to resume your tour and travel back to Bilbao for a walking tour of its old quarter, known as the Casco Viejo. It's a wonderfully vibrant district full of historical monuments, tapas bars and colorful shops.
Following your walking tour of the old quarter, you'll rejoin your coach and transfer directly back to the pier.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 3-hours of moderate to strenuous walking/standing. The tour is not suitable for wheelchair guests or those with mobility concerns. Participants should be in good physical condition. Weather appropriate clothing; sun caps; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The Notre Dame-Michigan rivalry has been kicked up a notch, putting Saturday's prime-time game even more in the spotlight.
Notre Dame opted out of a contract with Michigan last year. After the 14th-ranked Fighting Irish play the 17th-ranked Wolverines at the Big House, they're not expected to be back until the early 2020s at the earliest. The teams are scheduled to meet one final time in South Bend next year.
"I think there's a lot more hype around this game than there was two years ago with it being the last meeting in who knows how long," Notre Dame receiver TJ Jones said.
Michigan coach Brady Hoke said four months ago that Notre Dame was "chickening out" of the series, and got laughs at a luncheon.
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly raised eyebrows when he kicked off the week by saying the rivalry with Michigan wasn't historic or traditional, adding it is a regional game.
Kelly recanted the next day, saying it is "a great and historic rivalry," series with Michigan.
And a couple days later, he said the pressure will be on the Wolverines.
"They've got to win at home," Kelly said Thursday night. "For us, we're going to go up there swinging."
HOME COOKING: Hoke hasn't lost a home game in two-plus seasons of leading college football's winningest program, a fact that he insisted isn't a topic of conversation within his team. The Wolverines have won 15 straight — since losing to Wisconsin on Nov. 20, 2010 — at the Big House for their longest streak since winning 16 in a row from 2002 to 2005.

Fiber College of Maine One of my favorite classes I teach is Design Your Own Lace Stitches. I?m teaching a special 2-day version of this class at Fiber College of Maine on September 3rd and 4th, and there are still openings! Sign up today! http://www.fibercollege.org In this class we cover both the artistic and technical sides of designing original hand-knit lace, looking at many samples in my personal collection.This class is not just for designers or aspiring designers. If you knit lace and you?ve thought about creating a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your personal style, this class is for you. You?ll learn how to find inspiration all around you and use the creativity and knitting skills that you already have to design and knit unique pieces that tell the story of your life. But, if you ARE a designer and you want to take the next step from designing garments using a stitch library to creating your own unique stitches, this class will bring you into the next phase of your career! Don?t miss out. I rarely get to teach the extended version of this class, and it?s jam packed with ideas, inspiration, techniques, tips, and the ?physics of knitting? specifically as applied to lace. You will learn more about using yarn overs and decreases to form an openwork knitting than you can even imagine! Plus we?ll talk about borders, fabric bias, shawl shapes, and more? and take it all the way to creating a plan for your original garment design. Sign up today! http://www.fibercollege.org Here?s the formal class description: Designing Your Own Lace with Donna Druchunas Eskimo women in Alaska have been knitting qiviut (musk ox down) into lace since the 1960s. In this workshop, we will examine their unique pattern stitches, inspired by Eskimo artifacts, and learn how to chart our own custom lace patterns by adapting designs from other art forms. We will start by charting a basic diamond using yarn overs, then we will study several types of decreases and learn how each decrease works to create a different result with the same arrangement of yarn overs. We will also learn how to accentuate lace patterns with an outline stitch. Each student will then design and chart several lace patterns, and knit a swatch of each to see what works and what doesn?t work on the needles. Finally, we will review basic patterns for lace projects such as scarves, stoles, and ponchos, and each student will work on designing a project. Sign up today! http://www.fibercollege.org

Tips for Raising a Resillient Child
The Benefits of Bouncing Back
Q. My son seems to take everyday frustrations and disappointments so hard. My daughter, on the other hand, doesn't seem bothered by the same things. How can I encourage my son to handle things as well?
A. Why are some children easygoing while others seem high strung? Some tense and rigid while others are flexible? Some very sensitive while others appear sturdy? The answer lies in a combination of nature and nurture -- your child's inborn temperament plus what she learns as she develops.
We now know that babies are born with many temperamental traits, and prized among them is resiliency -- the ability to absorb life's disappointments and bounce back. Some children, right from the start, seem to possess this wonderful quality. As infants, even when they're tired or hungry they rarely fuss or cry; as toddlers they pick themselves right up with a smile when they fall down; as preschoolers, they don't dissolve into tears when it's another child's turn on the tricycle, and as schoolaged children, each time they make a mistake, instead of falling apart, they renew their efforts to get it right.
But fortunately, even if your child wasn't born resilient, you can still teach her a lot about how to negotiate life's hurdles more easily. But to do this, you need to understand what behavioral characteristics contribute to resiliency. These include:
- A high frustration tolerance.
The ability to absorb disappointments without giving in or giving up.
- Perseverance.
The ability to try and try again, re-doubling your efforts even when you've failed.
- Self-regulation and self-soothing.
The capacity to hold on to a good sense of self even when bad things happen.
- Perspective.
The ability to transform negative experiences so that you can gain something positive from them.

For their Spring Summer 2012 issue, Vs. Magazine released six covers featuring Julianne Moore, Erin Wasson, Elizabeth Olsen, Helena Christensen, Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Shailene Woodley.
New York-based filmmaker and photographer Jenna Elizabeth shot Erin Wasson's cover and editorial, along with an accompanying film.
She also directed Julianne Moore in a Vs. film called Knowing Remembers, which will appear on vsmagazinelive.com shortly (see the teaser above).
Jenna Elizabeth discusses her Vs. projects with rag & bone…
"The theme of Vs. Magazine is intimacy and to me nothing is more intimate than being alone in one's head, and being able to disconnect from oneself. For Julianne, I was inspired by a passage from William Faulkner's Light in August.
Essentially I wanted to visually represent the passing of time through shadows, and the disconnection of oneself. Memory stays within you, there is a permanence of impulses, and actions. That can be quite haunting. So I played with the repetition of the edit, her self scrutiny in a mirror, juxtaposed against these moments of isolation in empty bedrooms. Stenfert Charles, who did the music for Martha Marcy May Marlene, did my score. Their music really took the piece to the next level."
Erin's film, she reveals, "is based around the idea of the Heimlich maneuver. The film is more about the deconstruction of power in female dynamic relationships. It is a reoccurring theme in my work, but I try to add a bit of humor to it."

A new study says that Hoosiers are not exercising enough. A survey conducted by Gallup ranks all states on the percentage of people that exercise at least 3 times per week. According to that criteria, Indiana is the 9th worst state for exercise.
Fitness experts say it's tough to pinpoint a reason, but the weather may be a factor. With Spring getting closer they say it's a good time for folks to get active.
"Now that Spring is coming around, there's things you can do outside like hiking clubs or walking groups," says Sarah Strefling a fitness manager at Memorial.
Vermont ranked number one with over 65 percent of people exercising at least 3 times per week.

GALESBURG, Ill. (AP) -- Ever since his first campaign for U.S. Senate, President Barack Obama has been returning to Galesburg -- a small Illinois town where household incomes still lag far behind the statewide average nearly a decade after a major factory closure.
He talked with union members when the town's Maytag plant closed in 2004. He urged new graduates at private Knox College not to forget about the place when they leave. And he showed up, unannounced, at the high school football field to surprise a coach and his players.
"I think, it holds a special place for the President since he did give such a significant economic speech there 8 years ago," Krueger says. "If you go back and read that speech, you really see the seeds of President Obama's economic vision."
The west-central Illinois town is again on Obama's schedule Wednesday as he kicks off a campaign focused on improving the economy.
"I think the President will give hope to people in Illinois and in the country as a whole," Krueger expects of the president's speech. "I think his vision is the right vision for the economic forces that the country's facing right now. And I think if we follow the president's strategy, we'll be able to seize the moment. We'll be able to rebuild the middle class."
While the White House doesn't typically explain the selection of presidential visits, locals say layoffs and the town's hard, uneven recovery make Galesburg a good backdrop for talking about what's gone right and wrong in the country over the last decade.
Galesburg and Knox College -- both founded by anti-slavery advocates -- also provide Obama with a reliably pro-Democrat venue in conservative rural Illinois, and the roughly 32,000 people who live in Galesburg could stand to benefit, too.
"It gives them hope, that the leader of the free world keeps coming back," says Tim Dougherty, the football coach and civics teacher who looked up to see Obama walking toward him on the practice field at Galesburg High in 2011.
Wednesday's speech at Knox College is expected to be the first in a series focused on the economy, with the president talking about trying to expand manufacturing as well as attempts to breathe life back into the housing industry, educational opportunities and health care.
Most of those themes hit home in Galesburg, said Leo Dion, president of the Galesburg Regional Economic Development Association.
"I think that in west-central Illinois, I think we represent kind of some of the things that have happened -- more recently with manufacturing being (moved overseas) -- and the impacts on the community," he said.
Nearly a decade before the closure of the Maytag plant, Galesburg lost Butler Manufacturing and its 300 jobs. Maytag had once employed almost 3,000 people and still had about 1,600 jobs when news broke that its production would be moved to Mexico.
There is still a rail yard in town that offers about 1,000 jobs, but the town has changed. Now a total of about 1,000 people work in manufacturing, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Twenty-three percent of the population lives in poverty -- 10 percent more than the state as a whole.
Unemployment now runs just under 8 percent, better than the state as a whole and certainly better than the years after the plants closed. But that's not the whole story.
"A lot of people are probably under-employed," Dion said, explaining that many people in town work part time or irregularly. "And then the jobs that filled (the gap for) those previous manufacturing jobs, they're not as well-paying as those manufacturing jobs."
The median household income in 2010 was about $33,000, according to the census That's well below the $56,000 Illinoisans average, and far less than the $40,000 to $50,000 annual incomes many Maytag workers counted on.
Obama campaigned for the U.S. Senate in town in 2003, before the factories closed. And he was back the next year, meeting with the union officials as thousands of workers faced unemployment. He talked about them in his 2004 speech at the Democratic National Convention, the address in which he first caught the nation's attention.
And the next year he was back again, getting an honorary degree as he spoke to graduates at Knox.
"If you want, it will be pretty easy for you to leave here today and not give another thought to towns like Galesburg and the challenges they face," he told them, urging them to do just the opposite.
Megan Scott, the chief communication officer at Knox and a Galesburg native who attended the speech, said she felt like she was hearing the beginnings of "something big." But, while she is pleased Obama is coming back, she has mixed feelings about the circumstances.
"You don't always want to be the poster child for the economy going sour. But at the same time, he really managed to elevate Galesburg," she said. "I think we're proud of the fact that he hears us."
Republican U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, whose district includes areas around Galesburg, dismisses Obama's visit as little more than a campaign stop.
"Now is the time for presidential leadership, not the partisan, campaign-style tactics we have all seen as President Obama has traveled around the country in the past," Schock said Tuesday in a statement.
Schock also blames the state's lousy job market on Illinois Democrats, including the President.
"When you have some of the highest unemployment in the country in President Obama's home state, in my state, that's not a record to be proud of," Schock told FOX 32 news in an interview. "That's not a record to be touting. What we need is help for these people. Young people who graduated last year, 50% of them are unemployed or underemployed."

Women's Soccer Posts Impressive 6-0 Victory
Sept. 3, 2002
FORT WORTH, Texas - The TCU Horned Frogs (1-1-1) cruised to their first victory of the 2002 season, earning a 6-0 decision over the Centenary Ladies (1-2-0) on Tuesday evening at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium. The Frogs scored three goals in the final 14 minutes of the first half and added three more tallies in the second half for the easy victory.
Freshman forward Brianne Yeary was the star of the game for TCU. She subbed into the match and scored a team-high five points in the contest, thanks to a pair of goals and an assist. Yeary's first goal came in the 43rd minute of the match when she received a pass in space from senior Nicole Carman and capitalized with a right-footed shot. Her second goal happened in the 68th minute when Yeary took a long lead pass from senior Alecia Grieshaber and put home the goal.
Carman got the Frogs on the board in the 32nd minute when she received a slotted ball from freshman Elizabeth Walsh in the center the the box and poked the ball into the back of the net. Junior Jenny Swanson also assisted on the play for her first point of the season.
Laura Greenberg, who led the team in scoring as a freshman last year, notched her first goal of the campaign in the 44th minute when she took a direct free kick from 20 yards out and sailed it into the upper-left corner of the net. The shot gave the Frogs a 3-0 lead going into intermission.
The Frogs continued to play well in the second half. After Yeary made the score 4-0, senior Lori Robbins scored perhaps the finest goal of the game as she took a perfectly placed through ball from freshman Moran Lavi and one-timed it from inside the penalty area. It was the first goal of the year for Robbins, and the first career point for Lavi, who has made 30 career international appearances for the Israeli National Team.
Another freshman, Lauren Siepiela, joined in the act with her first TCU score when she took a centering ball from Yeary and fired a shot from the right side of the box and into the goal. On the evening, the Horned Frogs outshot the Ladies 28-7.
"The win is just what the doctor ordered," TCU head coach David Rubinson said. "We played hard in the first two games of the year and came up unlucky. There were a lot of positives for us today. All in all, we played very well both on the attack and defensively. It was good to see the young players have some success. The team showed a lot of character today."
Centenary goalkeeper Heather Lindsey was pelted by 17 shots on goal and made 11 saves. TCU goalkeeper Ruth DeJong improved to 1-1-0 on the year and earned her first career shutout. She made two saves on the evening, and now has an impressive goals against average of 0.50.
TCU's next match is Friday, Sept. 6 at 8:00 p.m. (PT) at UC-Santa Barbara. The Frogs will play two more road contests prior to returning to Fort Worth to take on Texas A&M on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 1:00 p.m.

Cash Savage And The Last Drinks
"Cash Savage And The Last Drinks."
Ten bands everyone should know about:
"The Highwater Ballroom Band, Toot Toot Toots, Eaten By Dogs, Little John, Jim Yamouridis, 16 Horsepower, The Nymphs, The Buckaroos (minus Buck Owens), Gene Clark and Buck Hunter."
Nine food items that you need to make a kickarse dinner party:
"Seven bottles of red wine, blue cheese and tiny toasts."
Eight possessions that define you:
"After two days of thinking about my possessions I can only come up with seven. My gold hollow-body electric guitar and my once-was-white but now is a smoked-stained-kind-of-white acoustic guitar, the over-the-top stereo in my room, my dollar sign belt buckle and my range of black shirts, my dog and my '78 series three Landrover."
Seven favourite movies/TV shows that go on your mix-tape:
"Conan The Barbarion, Terminator 2, Alien, Flying High, Die Hard, Die Hard 3 and Grease 2."
Six bad habits you can't escape:
"Drinkin' with Josh Crawley, drinkin' in general, being the loudest person in the room, kicking stuff that isn't mine, making my friends listen to my Italian Party LP when I can't find anything else to listen to and sleeping on the couch."
Five people who inspire you:
"Both my sets of grandparents and Lee Hazelwood."
Four things that turn you on:
"Cheese, the back beach in my home town, bacon (the food not the Kevin) and breasts."
Three goals for your music:
"To be one day played in space, to never have to play other people's songs to make dollars and to do multiple farewell tours each tour bigger and better than the last."
Two live gigs you'll never forget and why:
"Sons And Daughters, Meredith Music Festival 2005. I suppose it was the energy. It's hard to sum up in words what about this gig has stayed with me, there has never been a gig since that I've walked away thinking 'what fucking excellent music' I'd just witnessed, but visually only remembering a mass of shapes and colours.
Gene Pitney at Crown. That guy had a stage presence that could soothe 100 hungry silverbacks clapping out of time."
One day left before the apocalypse and you…:
"Run around screaming the sky is falling, creating as much mass hysteria as possible."

To the editor:
President Obama is living an absolutely lavish lifestyle — how can so many liberals think that he is doing a good job? I'll give Obama this: He is charismatic; very personable — but all these vacations in our low economy? Obamacare cuts Medicare. And there will be a trillion more in taxes because of Obamacare.
President Obama is said to be a "friend of Israel." I don't see how that could be while he is sending at least a million dollars to Egypt. Egypt is not a friend to us or to Israel. Why is he calling for global warming (which is really only a normal cycle that the earth goes through) to be an actuality? One reason or excuse, if you will, is so he can stop coal use and hence a lot of jobs too, by the way. Also he can nix any new factories — there go more jobs lost.
Obama gives a speech while standing under the picture of the terrorist Arafat — that's OK, right? And yet when he spoke at a Catholic University, the cross had to be covered up.
There are other wastes in his establishment too, like the billions spent to study the sex habits of snails or ducks' genitalia. Now, Obama's temper tantrum is putting American lives at risk because he is furious that the Republicans did not back down when he tried to bully them into caving on sequestration. He is determined to make sure that the federal agency cuts are in places that will be most noticeable and hurtful to the public, in an effort to turn the public's wrath toward the Republicans. Ironically, it was Obama who came up with sequestration in the first place back in the summer of 2011.
Illegals and criminals are released from jail, and who knows how long we can arm ourselves even for our own protection? You won't get the whole truth of the news unless you watch Fox News.
Wake up, America, be warned and be aware of the truth!

PCI Information
The ability to conduct credit card transactions has become a necessity for increased customer service, particularly with the increase in e-commerce. Longwood recognizes that use of credit cards may stimulate sales in certain types of transactions and may increase the cash collections efficiency. The need to protect our customer's credit cards data is essential. This website provides University departments with essential information regarding the requirements and best practices for payment card related activities.
What is PCI DSS?
PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. PCI Data Security Standards are national standards from the Payment Card Security Standards Council and apply to all organizations anywhere in the country that process, transmit or store credit cardholder data. The University and all departments that process payment card data have a contractual obligation to adhere to the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). We must adhere to these standards to protect our customers and to continue to process payments using payment cards. Each year, departments that are conducting payment card activities must submit a self assessment questionnaire assuring their compliance with PCI DSS.
PCI Security Standards Council
The PCI Security Standards Council was founded by the major credit card industries (American Express, Discover Card, JCB, MasterCard, and Visa) to manage the continued development, communication, clarification, and implementation of the PCI standards. The PCI SSC website is the best resource for questions related to the standards.
Navigating PCI DSS: Understanding the Intent of the Requirements
This document describes the 12 Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements, along with guidance to explain the intent of each requirement. It is intended to provide a clearer understanding of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, and the specific meaning and intention behind the detailed requirements to secure system components (servers, network, applications etc) that support cardholder data environments.

It might disappoint "halo collectors" when they get a hold of this, seeing as some remixes previously appeared on other singles. However, this is much cheaper and considering I wasn't big on "With Teeth", I'm surprised how much I enjoyed this.
The title track is one of the great tracks on "With Teeth". While not the straightforward, anthemic "The Hand That Feeds" or the electro-funk "Only", it stands out in its own way. It's sort of a slow-burner, but with a nice melody. The DFA remix of "The Hand That Feeds" is worth the price of this thing. It is quite the contrast of the original, this one being much more of an electro track. If you like DFA stuff like LCD Soundsystem, I think you'll enjoy the remix. Sure, it's kind of lengthy, but that ain't such a bad thing. The other remix is sort of just an extended mix of the original, although focusing more on instrumental parts of the song.
The El-P remix of "Only" is also another great one here. It gives the song an awesome trip-hop feel, which I think fits better for the spoken word first verse than the actual song itself. It's a lot of fun to listen to. The other remix of the song is okay. And then there's the awesome "Sam Fog vs. Carlos D." remix of "Every Day…", which is quite an enjoyable track. The remix is kind of interesting, although I have never thought of the song as anything I'd dance to or would.
It isn't the greatest NIN single/album, but the best we could expect. It makes me optimistic about the future of NIN since I wasn't actually as consistently impressed with a lot of the recent stuff, in spite my love for the first four albums (esp. "The Fragile") and the live performance I saw last year. I recommend it if you are a NIN fan. Not quite as good as the "Downward Spiral" singles, but it's just about as good.

Terras escape with a replay
8:55pm Saturday 8th September 2012 in Local Sport
(Feeney 33, Carter 48)
(Joyce 12, Walker 61)
A FINE strike from skipper Scott Walker saved the Terras' blushes in a hard-fought FA Cup first qualifying round clash at Little Testwood Farm on Saturday.
Despite being two leagues below Weymouth, Totton & Eling came into the game off the back of five wins from their previous six games and pushed their opponents all the way.
The Sydenhams Wessex League Premier Division outfit made life difficult throughout and at one stage held a 2-1 lead only for the Terras to grab a replay, which will take place on Tuesday night at the Bob Lucas Stadium (7.45pm).
Weymouth led through an early strike from Ben Joyce before Craig Feeney and Sam Carter turned the tables with goals either side of the break. Walker then levelled matters again with a strike from the edge of the area.

Hunger doesn't hit us until it creeps into our homes.
In part, that's why Feeding America, a non-profit that fights hunger, studies U.S. Department of Agriculture data and targets its analysis at the needs of children. The annual report helps local groups address hunger.
Feeding America translates data into food-insecure households where family members are unable to consistently access the adequate amount of nutritious food necessary for a healthy life. The report details county-by-county numbers.
The report noted that 16.1 percent of the people living in the eight-county region, including Madison County, served by Second Harvest Food Bank are food insecure. That's 74,090 of our neighbors. That number alone is about the same as Muncie's population.
The percentage is comparable in Madison County alone, 16 percent, or 21,070 people.
Hunger has a strange presence in a land of plenty. Generally, most of us drive by, or through, fast-food lanes and never give hunger another thought. But Madison County families are hurting.
If hunger seems a distant concern, look no further than Elwood, where public schools are providing a summer lunch program for children under 18. Parents pay $3 a lunch. The lunches, available at Callaway Park, have been served to about 90 kids a day. That number has doubled since last year.
The need doesn't exist solely in Elwood. Hunger is not contained by city or county boundaries.Thankfully, there are groups like Second Harvest that actively push to feed the needy.
For years, the Indiana Department of Education has implemented the School Nutrition Program, known as the free and reduced lunch system. In addition, the department administers special breakfast, lunch, milk and other programs aimed at providing students with nutritious meals.
Those programs rely on federal and state departments working together.
They typically cannot reach into homes to find the truly "food-insecure — the parents who miss a meal in order to cover their children's needs or the care-giving sibling who skips a bite to provide for their parent.
Consider supporting programs, such as Second Harvest or community-based food giveaways or church pantries that help provide food. They help handle the tragedy of hunger, something many of us don't see until it creeps into our homes.
Many of us don't see hunger until it hits home. Let's appreciate groups that address the tragedy of hunger.

Eagles Look to Grab First Conference Victory
- FGCU: 5-6, 0-1 A-Sun
- UNF: 6-7, 1-0 A-Sun
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The FGCU women's basketball team is looking to get back on the winning track and also pick up the program's first Atlantic Sun Conference victory when they take on North Florida on Monday night.
The Eagles are coming off a tough 62-58 loss at Jacksonville (Jan. 5), where Delia De La Torre (Las Cruces, N.M.) scored a team-high 18 points and Chelsea Dermyer (Fort Collins, Col.) added 15 points as the FGCU women's basketball team lost its conference opener on the road to the A-Sun Preseason favorite.
Jacksonville erased a five-point deficit at the half by shooting 14-of-30 from the field (47 percent) in the second half while holding the Eagles to 8-of 28 shooting (29 percent). The Eagles and Dolphins combined for 13 ties and 14 lead changes in the game.
Leading 46-44 with more than six minutes remaining, the Eagles gave up a 5-0 run to the Dolphins and Jacksonville would take the lead for good Desarae Johnson capped the run with a layup with 5:07 left. FGCU tied the game with 1:10 left in regulation after De La Torre drove to the basket and dropped in a layup. Jacksonville used a 4-0 run and held the Eagles scoreless in the final 1:10 to wrap-up the victory.
As a team, the Eagles connected on 21-of-56 (37.5-percent) shots from the field, including 7-of-20 (35.0-percent) from long-distance. De La Torre finished the game 8-of-17 (47.1 percent) from the field while pulling down a team-high seven rebounds. Dermyer ended the contest 5-of-12 (41.7 percent) from the field and 2-of-4 (50 percent) from behind the arc
News and Notes on UNF:
UNF (6-7, 1-0 A-Sun) has won its last two outings and three of its last five games without the services of leading scorer Jennifer Bowen. Without their leading scorer, the Lady Ospreys defense has been the key ingredient to their wins with UNF surrendering an average of 39.8 points in those victories.
UNF allowed only nine points in the first half of its win against Stetson and gave up a team Division I low of 36 points overall. Juliemay Syquio led the offense in that win, hitting a pair of 3-pointers en route to a 14-point performance.
UNF comes into the contest leading the league in 3-point defense, holding opponents to a .249 mark from long range.

Michelle Monaghan attended a New York Screening of her new movie, "Source Code" last night with co-star Jake Gyllenhaal.
I really love her teal sleeveless Roksanda Ilincic Spring 2010 dress.
The asymmetric gathered skirt is very much Roksanda's signature and provides an interesting detail on her dress.
Unfortunately, I'm having a problem with Michelle's hair and make-up again.
The hair is a lot more smoothed out, but I'm still not fond of the bangs. The make-up is just too heavy for her pretty face. Less would be more in this case.
A black Jimmy Choo 'Latoya' clutch and Chrissie Morris ankle strap black sandals completed her look.

Britons in gas field terror attack
3:23pm Wednesday 16th January 2013 in National News © Press Association 2014
British nationals have been caught up in a terrorist incident at a gas field in Algeria where several workers, including an Irishman, have been taken hostage.
Two people are reported to have been killed in the incident but it is understood the 36-year-old married man, from Northern Ireland, is unharmed.
Foreign Office officials in London have confirmed that more than one British national is "caught up" in the terrorist attack on the BP site and Prime Minister David Cameron is to chair a meeting of the Government's crisis committee Cobra on the incident.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that British nationals are caught up in a terrorist incident ongoing near the town of In Amenas at an oil installation near the Algerian border with Libya. The British embassy in Algiers is liaising with local authorities."
Ireland's deputy prime minister Eamon Gilmore has called for the Irishman's immediate release.
"The Government stands ready to use all the resources available to us to ensure that our citizen is released as soon as possible," he said. "I would ask that the family be allowed privacy at this difficult time."
Dublin's Department of Foreign Affairs said it was providing consular assistance to the family and was in close contact with its international partners and a wide range of other contacts in order to establish the facts of the situation.
The emergency British Cobra meeting will be attended by ministers from the Foreign Office and Ministry of Defence as well as officials from other agencies.
No family hotline has been set up for the incident because the number of British nationals involved is "very small", according to officials.
The Foreign Office said it is working with BP to support the families of those involved.

Custom JavaScript Architecture Framework.
Hey guys,
I decided to bypass jQuery for the time being, and decided to make my own re-usable framework. The question I have is how would you create the "shell" for it, the foundation. Such as Method declarations, properties, event-handling and calls to other parts of the script. It's an out there question, but I want some incite on anyones thoughts to how they would do it. Again, this is very subjective, so I'm cool with any help.Chuck Norris is so tough,

Mar 24, 2012, 15:18 #2
This question doesn't have a straightforward answer. There are several good libraries out there -- not just jQuery, but also YUI, Closure, Dojo, ExtJS, and others -- and I don't think any of them have the same "shell".
My advice is, before you start thinking about the underlying implementation, first start thinking about the API. Start writing code that uses your library as if it were already fully formed, because that's going to help you figure out how you want it to work.
Once you've defined how you want it to work, then we can talk about how to implement that API.

Add To Plan
Begin your tour by traveling through the fertile foothills where most of the country's vineyards and the orchards of the Phassouri citrus groves are found. Your first destination is Petra tou Romiou, the symbol of the city of Paphos. Legend tells us that it is here, the goddess of Cyprus, Aphrodite, was born from the foam of the sea and carried by the sea's waves to the coast of Cyprus. Pafos which has become the sacred place where Aphrodite was venerated.
The religion of Cyprus in antiquity was that of ancient Greece. While most of the Olympian Gods were worshipped in Cyprus, the most important cult was indisputably that of Aphrodite, the Cypriot goddess. She is the embodiment of the fertilizing dynamism of Love, believed to fertilize the whole of nature and spread happiness. Archaeological evidence and inscriptions bear witness of the existence of numerous sanctuaries and temples dedicated to Aphrodite throughout Cyprus.
You will next proceed to Pafos, one of the most beautiful destinations on the island which is today,a small harbor town and popular holiday resort. However, in Hellenistic and Roman times Pafos served as the capital of Cyprus. It remains the home of colorful Dionysos mosaics renowned throughout the Mediterranean, picturesque churches, medieval monasteries, museums, countless antiquities and a charming harbor guarded by a small castle. The entire town of Pafos is included in the official UNESCO list of culture and natural treasures of the world heritage.
While in Pafos, a visit will be made to the House of Dionysos, famous for the mosaics unearthed during the excavation of a Roman nobleman's villa from the 3rd century AD. There is an extensive complex of buildings here that are fitted with stunning mosaic floors showing Roman legends and characters, but mostly representing scenes from Greek mythology. The mosaics here are considered to be the finest mosaics in all the Mediterranean. Following your guided tour of Pafos, there will be time for shopping at the Limanaki area where you will find a wide array of international merchandise, or simply relax and enjoy the town's vibrant atmosphere.
Departing from Pafos you will make your way to the Beach tavern at Kourion for a lovely lunch consisting of local Cypriot specialties. Following your lunch, you will tour the ancient ruins of the city of Kourion, an impressive Greco-Roman site where you can view remaining pavement mosaics, such as those preserved as the four-panel design in the central room at the House of Eustolios. Nearby, is the superb, large Greco-Roman theater built in the 2nd century BC which is still used today for many performances, including ancient dramas. Perched high on a cliff, this beautiful and unspoiled location offers spectacular views of the ruins and the sapphire sea below.
Please note: This tour includes significant walking and/or standing - at times on uneven ground. There is also considerable climbing and/or steps; and therefore, it is not available to wheelchair guests or those guests with mobility concerns.

As my interest in quilting grows, so does the list of different kinds of quilts I would like to make. Having a file of photos of them on my computer is a good way to keep track of all those ideas, but a book containing those inspiration photos and a place to record the process and end results is even better. It's as if I've already put the ideas into motion because I've already created a home for them in a permanent personal record.
Since this is a book about quilts, more specifically my goals for quilting, I thought I would incorporate lots of fabric and stitching. I thought about making the entire book from fabric, but since I hope to make a lot of notes about the processes, having a paper base seemed more sensible.
To make a book like this, begin by cutting a piece of fabric that is about 1 1/2 inch larger in height than your book and long enough to wrap from the cover, around the back of the book, and back around about 2/3 the front cover again.
Cut a variety of squares of a similar color as the base fabric. I used 2 inch squares, but I also included some strips that were 2 inches x 4 inches. The idea is to layer them and having some overlapping strips, instead of just individual squares, gives a softer look to the design.
After laying out the squares in strips on what will be the front cover of the book, stitch them in place. You can pin them to help keep them from shifting. Using fusible web to hold them in place would also work but would take away the soft wrinkles and folds of the fabrics.
To create the heart applique, use a Fiskars heart-shaped punch to create a stencil. I used the My Funny Valentine punch. Even though it is scalloped, I was just using it to achieve the basic heart shape I was looking for. Preciseness with the shape was not needed. Use the stencil to trace the shape onto the back side of a double thickness (right sides together) of fabric. Stitch along the traced line using a needle and thread and do not worry about leaving an opening for turning. To turn the heart right side out, snip a small slit in the center of one side of it, making sure to not catch the stitching.
Turn the heart right side out and attach it to the center square on the cover using needle and thread. The hole for turning is hidden! Attach a button to the center of the heart if desired.
Create a pocket for the inside front cover by cutting a square of fabric that the same height as the cover fabric and long enough to accommodate the cover of the book plus 1/2 inch. Fold one side edge of the square over 1/2 inch and press it to crease with an iron. Stitch along that edge.
Place the square on the back side of the front cover, right sides together, placing the hemmed edge of the square so that it is facing toward the center of the cover wrap. Pin it in place and stitch around the 3 outer edges. Turn the cover right side out. Slip the book cover in the pocket to make sure it isn't too loose. If it is, turn the cover inside out again and stitch slightly inside your previous stitch line.
Wrap the cover around the book. The flap of the cover should extend over about 1/3 of the front cover, plus 1/2 inch. Cut some of the length off if necessary, keeping in mind that as the book gets filled with photos and scraps it will get thicker. It's OK, and preferable, for the cover wrap to fit loosely to allow for expansion of the book.
Remove the book and fold in the remaining edges of the cover wrap 1/2 inch, ironing them to crease, and pin them in place. Stitch the hems in place. I used a wide zig zag stitch to minimize fraying and to make it more interesting.
Place the book back in the cover wrap and determine the size you want the spine cover to be. Cut a piece of fabric to this dimension adding 1/2 inch to each side if you want to hem the edges instead of having them fray. Fold the edges over 1/2 inch to hem if desired, place the spine cover over the spine area and pin it in place. Remove the book from the cover wrap and stitch the spine cover in place. Add fabric remnants and buttons as desired to embellish it.
Add a length of ribbon or fabric long enough to wrap around the book twice and tie. I created a fabric tie by cutting 2 inch wide fabric remnants, folding them in half lengthwise, connecting them end to end, and stitching around the edges of the strap. I also added a length of lace to the section of the strap that shows on the front cover. Wrap the finished strap around the cover wrap with the book inside and where the strap touches the spine cover, pin it in place. Untie the strap and stitch it to the cover wrap at the place you pinned, making sure you don't pick up the pocket material on the reverse side.
Create a decorative patch for the cover flap and stitch it in place. Words can be printed directly onto fabric using a printer. First, print your text out onto plain paper. Place fabric over the printed area and attach it to the paper using either a temporary spray adhesive or by taping the edges all down so the printer mechanisms don't catch them. To allow the printer to pull the paper through properly, the edges of the paper should be free of tape. Run the paper back through the printer again.
If your fabric was new and unwashed, you can wet it in a sink, wring it out, and throw it in the dryer to add some wrinkles and softness to the materials. Be aware that unwashed dark materials could bleed if you do this.
Create tabs for your quilting ideas using fabric remnants and text printed onto fabric. Stitch these to the edges of the book pages.
Place the book in the cover wrap and tie the strap. Looking at your book, you are probably now very motivated to get started on your quilting goals!
1/4 yard fabric for cover wrap, fabric remnants for embellishment, variety of threads, buttons (optional), mini album
