Going into the weekend, I said that a UCLA Bruins win over Utah Utes wasn't going to prove much. Coming out of the weekend, UCLA beat Utah and it didn't prove much. The Bruins got a win over a team they were supposed to beat, and that's a tough result to complain about. If they're lucky, it'll give them some momentum heading into the second half of their schedule. ASU is next, and as always, the 1-2 punch of USC and Stanford loom at the end of November.
After a week where six turnovers doomed any effort they tried to make against Cal, the Bruins forced a Utes turnover on Utah's opening offensive drive when Andrew Abbott picked up an interception on a pass tipped by Eric Kendricks. The Bruins offense immediately kicked into gear, moving down the field with a rush heavy drive that saw Brett Hundley move it in with another gorgeous red zone fake. With a rushing attack that includes Johnathan Franklin having a good shot at UCLA's career and single-season rushing records, faking handoffs at the goal line is likely to keep paying off for the Bruins.
That was just the start of an efficient if unspectacular day for the offense. Hundley was 15-for-21 for 183 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions, and Franklin had 79 yards on 22 carries. Combined, the team picked up 171 yards on the ground. Junior wide receiver Shaqulle Evans, already having a career year, had four catches for 91 yards and a touchdown.
Special teams, a weak point in the loss to Cal, was again an issue. Steven Manfro, who has made a habit of questionable punt fielding this season, muffed his second punt in as many weeks. This time he was more efficient about it, and Utah fell on it for a touchdown instead of the gimmie drive that Cal had to deal with. Jeff Locke, stalwart punter and generally the most consistent member of the squad, was back to form after a hiccup against Cal. He pinned the Utes inside their own 20 on three of six punts, and just outside the 20 on another two. Utah didn't have a single punt return on the day.
The Utes started freshman quarterback Travis Wilson for the first time, and the UCLA defense did their best to keep him from setting in. Abbot had the interception, Datone Jones and Cassius Marsh contributed sacks, and all together they held Wilson to 3-for-7 on third down passes, part of a 6-for-13 overall for the Utes.
UCLA has a bye in Week 8, and after that it's a trip to Arizona to face the Sun Devils. ASU is 3-0 in Pac-12 play, averaging 40.5 points per game scored with only 14.2 per game allowed. A solid-but-unspectacular should give the Bruins some momentum heading into the bye, but they'll need to come out with every bit of speed they can muster.

Relive UFC on 153's electrifying main event with Anderson Silva vs. Stephan Bonnar fight video highlights, courtesy of FOX Sports.
UFC 153 took place October 13, 2012 at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva (33-4) took on Stephan Bonnar (15-8) in a non-title, light heavyweight affair. Catch the video highlights above.
For more on Silva's remarkable victory, check out the play-by-play from MMA Fighting's Luke Thomas.
Round 1: Bonnar comes out swinging and Silva slips evading giving Bonnar time to attempt a takedown against the fence. Silva stuffs it and now they're clinched. Bonnar's got double underhooks but isn't abe to do much with it. Silva turns Bonnar in the clinch and fires a hard shot, but Bonnar is still pressing him into the fence. Silva, bizarrely, just lays against the fence even when they clinch break, baiting Bonnar is return to that position. Silva's eating Bonnar's punches and returning fire seemingly when he feels like. Bonnar and Silva separate and Silva lands an outside trip. Bonnar evades but eats a right hand and a direct shot right to the body from a knee. Bonnar collapses and Silva swarms with a few more punches before the referee is forced to stop the contest.
UFC 153 results: Anderson Silva def. Stephan Bonnar by TKO at 4:40 of round 1

Health officials report two men have contracted Legionnaires' disease from a hot tub at the L.A. Fitness in Naperville. The victims are in stable condition.
The DuPage County Health Department said it was notified in late October.
Tests on other parts of the L.A. Fitness came back negative. Currently, the club is still open - except for the hot tub area.
If left untreated, Legionnaires' disease can be fatal. But that is not the norm. The disease can linger for months. Symptoms include headache, cough and fever that may exceed 104 degrees.

Online Engineering Management Degree Offered
The University of Louisville's J.B. Speed School of Engineering will offer its first fully online engineering management degree beginning in fall 2013.
The 30-credit-hour master's level degree in engineering management, which has been offered at UofL since 1971, can now be earned without attending on-campus classes. Speed School officials said the degree can usually be completed in two years and is targeted to experienced professionals who want to move into managerial and operational positions.
The program does not require that students take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or submit a thesis.
"We expect a lot of national, and even international, interest in this online degree," said Tim Hardin, director of the engineering management online program. "It's a wonderful opportunity for engineering professionals to acquire valuable skills and network with their peers from across the globe."
Courses will focus on the business fundamentals of project management, finance, management, ethics and leadership principles.
Click here for more information or contact Tim Hardin at 502-852-1697 or email Dr. Hardin.

The National Weather Service says the Highlands County tornado that left a young mother dead Sunday was recorded as an EF-2, with wind speeds reaching upwards of 120 mph.
That was the most violent of seven tornadoes that touched down in our area during Tropical Storm Debby, the NWS confirmed in its report, which also included two in Polk County and one in Pinellas.
A tornado that hit in the Winter Haven was also an EF-2 and reached wind speeds of up to 120 mph. It caused damage to 17 homes in its path and put down power lines on the eastern part of the city.
The NWS said tornadoes were recorded in these locations: Hardee County east of Bowling Green (EF-0); Highlands County in Venus (EF-2); Highlands County in Lake June (EF-1); Polk County near Thompson Nursery Road (EF-1); Polk County near east Winter Haven (EF-2); Pinellas County in Pass-A-Grille (EF-1); and South Lecanto Road (EF-1).
The tornado in Pass-A-Grille began as a waterspout and moved on shore and left damage, the NWS said.
A tourist rental building was destroyed and caved in the side of the local marina. There were no injuries reported, though.

MERRILL (WAOW) - The owners of two longtime clothing stores say they are closing the downtown Merrill businesses.
Jack and Sherry Kleinschmidt said Friday they will begin a going out of business sale at Thelma's and The Guy's Shop on Thursday.
They plan to retire.
"We've enjoyed our time in business and made very good friends over the years," Jerry Kleinschmidt said in a statement. "We've had loyal clients who come to us from as far away as Iron Mountain, Mich., to the north, down to Madison and everywhere in between. It's going to be tough for us to leave so much of that behind, but it's time."
The couple purchased The Guy's Shop 17 years ago and Thelma's in 2001. They say the stores opened about 40 years ago.
Sherry Kleinschmidt worked for the stores' original owners starting in the mid-1970s when her husband was a local law enforcement officer.

Since becoming the 21st president of Butler University in 2011,
James Danko has led ambitious plans for Butler to Imagine,
Explore, and Achieve national recognition by the year 2020, as
a thought-leader in transformative, student-centered higher
Through his entrepreneurial spirit and innovative approach,
Butler has strengthened its commitment to develop dynamic new
programs, embrace experiential learning and community engagement,
and create a campus environment equipped to serve the needs of an
increasingly diverse and engaged student population.
President Danko leads with a philosophy called "the presumption
of yes," which challenges the Butler community to imagine and
strive toward the institution it can become, free from constraints
or boundaries. In 2012, he established the Butler Innovation Fund,
seed money that allows the University to invest in innovative
approaches to teaching, research, and service that foster
creativity and facilitate collaboration.
In 2013, President Danko oversaw Butler's move to the new BIG
EAST Conference. This new partnership, which matches Butler with
other high-quality academic institutions, will boost Butler's
national profile, improve student and faculty recruitment efforts,
and enhance the value of a Butler education.
This fall, he collaborated with the president of the neighboring
Christian Theological Seminary to launch the Desmond Tutu Center.
The new center's focus on leadership development in social justice
and reconciliation reflects Butler's commitment to diversity and
the cultivation of international relationships.
In his ultimate vision for Butler's future, President Danko
foresees a university that will stand out among its peers by
providing exceptional student learning experiences that prepare
graduates to make a lasting and positive impact in the world.
Previously, he taught entrepreneurship and raised the national
profiles of business programs at the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill, Babson College, and the University of Michigan.
An innovator at heart and in experience, President Danko was a
successful entrepreneur in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, for
nearly two decades prior to his academic career.
He received his bachelor's degree in religious studies from John
Carroll University and his master of business administration from
the University of Michigan. He is married to Bethanie Danko and has
two daughters, Melanie and Meredith.

101 Sample Write-Ups for Documenting Employee Performance Problems
A Guide to Progressive Discipline & Termination
Author: Paul Falcone
Pub Date: March 2010
Your Price: $35.00
Page Count: 400
Format: Paper or Softback
Edition: Second Edition
A complete tool kit for handling disciplinary problems in a fair,
responsible, and legally defensible way.
A complete tool kit for handling disciplinary problems in a fair, responsible, and legally defensible way.
There's no escaping problem employees. But with 101 prewritten disciplinary write-ups at a manager's fingertips, there is a way to escape the headaches, anxiety, and potential legal trouble of performance review or counseling sessions.
Completely updated and covering the latest developments in employment law, the second edition of 101 Sample Write-Ups for Documenting Employee Performance Problems explains the disciplinary process from beginning to end and provides ready-to-use model documents—in print and on disk—that eliminate the stress and second-guessing about what to do and say. Expertly written, the write-ups cover every kind of problem—substandard work quality, absenteeism, insubordination, e-mail misuse, sexual harassment,drug or alcohol abuse, and more. Readers will also find new information on laying the ground work for a tidy dismissal; tying progressive discipline to annual performance reviews; formally addressing intermittent FMLA abuse; ways to avoid drafting documentation that could later be used against their company; and much more.
There is perhaps no more dreaded managerial task than communicating with an employee about a disciplinary problem, but this one-of-a-kind guide helps managers handle any scenario fairly, constructively, and, most importantly—legally.

David Settle was arrested and charged with two counts of murder with a deadly weapon. He is accused of killing a fellow resident of the group home as well as a caregiver.
According to Metro police, paramedics responded to a call from the home on Sunday morning to discover a deceased male and female in the home. They then located Settle, lying in a bed in the home. Those paramedics said Settle confessed to having murdered fellow resident Henry Namett, 82, and caregiver Elenita Ablao, 59.
When Metro police arrived, they took Settle into custody and took a statement from him. Police said Settle admitted to hitting Namett roughly 20 times in the head with a hammer, killing him. He then allegedly called Ablao to the room and struck her in the head with the hammer numerous times.
Police said Settle claimed he was unhappy with the care he was receiving at the group home but had no particular problems with Namett or Ablao and actually liked both of them.
Settle also attempted to commit suicide following the slayings and told police he suffers from alcoholism.

Johnny who? No. 21 Texas A&M, which lost 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel to the NFL in the offseason, showed no signs of missing him with a thumping 52-28 win at No. 9 South Carolina. A new star might have emerged, too, as quarterback Kenny Hill broke all sorts of school records on the night (he went 44-for-60 with 511 yards and three touchdowns). Is he for real? Are the Aggies?

Josh Gordon's appeal of his one-year suspension for violation of the league's substance abuse policy has been denied, meaning the Cleveland Browns will be without the Pro Bowl wide receiver for all of 2014. The decision comes at a time when the NFL's disciplinary philosophy is under scrutiny, especially in light of Ray Rice's two-game suspension after an offseason arrest for domestic violence. The move also comes on the same day an NFL Nation survey showed players agree with Barack Obama's stance on marijuana.
The horse head mask has been weirding out the Internet for over a decade, but its dark powers have not yet been harnessed in the realm of sports -- at least, not until now:
That's Yankees pitcher Shawn Kelley during warm-ups on Saturday, wearing the horse head mask in an attempt to inspire his team. It's even worked, sort of. The Yankees are 5-0 since Kelley started wearing the mask, and though we recognize the volatility of small sample sizes, we really don't want to anger the horse.
"You can't help but laugh at a guy in a horse head," Yankees catcher Brian McCann told Yahoo! Sports, but we beg to differ. You can look at a guy in a horse head and cry. You can look at a guy in a horse head and shudder. You can look at a guy in a horse head and feel terror.

Launchy is a free utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, your desktop icons, and your file manager. Launchy indexes and launches your applications, documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!

User Reviews
Very helpful app, but can you make your config and db file hidden? Just add . to names. It annoys me to see them all the time in my /home directory.
Though I do feel Handicap without Launchy since the very time I made a transition to Windows 8 Desktop PC. As we all know, it goes "deprived" of the Start Menu, & thus, requirement of an efficient Launcher becomes even must! However, it is disappointing to observe that No new version has been released yet since the Year 2010! Launchy desperately requires a quick overhaul to fine tune its functioning & efficiency in order to customize as per Win 8 OS requirements! There goes tons of listed items within Control Panel of Win 8, & Launchy is able to provide an access to a only a few at one go! Therefore, some Customizations need to be introduced in order to enable a complete index of the Control Panel items.For instance, I should be able to quickly launch "Windows Update" at one go without the requirement of making maneuvers to access the same. Similarly, the Task Manager of Win8 depicts Launchy's Start-up Impact to be "Very High" in comparison to the rest of the companions sitting innocuously in the System tray. This needs to worked upon as well in order to Optimize on the available resources! I would request the Author of this Application to quickly come up with more innovations to keep the pace with the changed OS dispensation.
I'm a long time user and this app is a huge time saver. Really useful.
I am using Launchy for 2 days now and it was indeed a usefull application. A while ago, after trying to access the settings of Launchy a pop up from Windows notified me of an error on Launchy.exe. After which it says that a "crash dump" has been created on the temp directory and this can be sent to developer as a bug report. The problem is: I don't know where to find the crash dump file. I try to look into C:\Windows\Temp but to no avail. Can anyone help? I tried reinstalling the software several times but the error always comes back and I can no longer run the app anymore. Before this error came, I have installed plugins and skins (which seemed to work just fine). And had switch from Launchy 2.5 to the latest version which is Beta. Thanks in advance. Rod :( P.S. I still don't know how to send that dump file to the developer just in case I find it.
Oh my god, I LOVE Launchy! It's my new favorite program. There are some AWESOME skins out there, too, like the Pip-Boy & a really awesome Steampunk one, both were so unexpected & utterly perfect for my love of customizing everything possible, especially on my computer. The plug-ins really add some great extensible capabilities & I've loved the ease in which pulling Launchy up on the screen is done. I have ObjectDock, but I find this much more useful a lot of the time! Thanks for Launchy, seriously guys, thank you <3 Love, Qua

The Fresno State Bulldogs looked quite poised and steady as they hung 28 points on the Colorado State Rams. Perhaps things would have been slightly different if a first half TD for the Rams would have counted, but it was called back on a crack back block penalty, which took what little air the Rams had, out of their effort. The Rams struggled offensively, but seemed to keep pace for awhile through the field position game, but the FSU Bulldogs were able to control the clock (38:55 - 23:05) and push the Rams around, particularly on Defense.
The CSU Rams were incapable of getting anything going on offense. Predictable calls, from predictable play sets were the hallmark of many 3 and outs. The Rams were unable to line up in an obvious power set to get even one yard and the FSU defense simply shut the Rams down. With a lack of physical size, speed or strength advantage, it is a wonder why the Rams continue to try to push teams around in short yardage situations. FSU was able to line up, put everyone in the box and stop the Rams dead in their tracks.
The Bulldogs led in almost all statistical categories: Total yards (408 - 249), Rushing yards (191 - 55), passing yards (217 - 194), first downs (24 - 15), third down conversions (10/21 - 5/14), fourth down conversions (4/6 - 1/3), sacks (4/29 yards - 2/18 yards), fumbles (2 -1). The Rams (5/ 55 yards) did commit less penalties than the Bulldogs (10/112), but having less than half of the opponent's penalties doesn't always equal a win.
Derek Carr led the Bulldogs with 4 touchdowns, 217 yards and no interceptions. He was able to elude the Rams' pass rush for most of the game, but was sacked twice. Robbie Rouse led the rushing attack for FSU with 124 yards on 26 attempts for 4.8 yards a carry. Marteze Waller was second with 32 yards and 6.4 yard a carry average. Rouse also led the FSU receivers with 50 yards, but Devante Adams had 4 receptions for 41 yards including 2 TD catches. Other receivers scoring from Carr were Isaiah Burse and Josh Harper, with one each.
The Rams, led by senior QB MJ McPeek (sacked 4 times) in his first start, scored a lone touchdown late in the game from McPeek to sophomore Charles Lovett. Chris Nwoke led the Rams in Rushing with 68 yards and a 4.5 yards per carry average and Crockett Gilmore led the Rams in receiving yards with 41 yards on four receptions for an average of 10.3 yards a catch. The Rams defense kept them in the game for awhile, but with the anemic offense, the defense was simply left out on the field too long and was exposed by Carr and the FSU offense.
Fresno State, which is now 4 - 2 (2 - 0), plays BSU in Boise on October 13th at 3:30 on the NBC Sports Network. The Bulldogs are in second place in the Mountain west, behind the Nevada Wolf Pack, and seem to have things going both defensively and offensively. New coach Tim DeRuyter seems to have them going in the right direction on both sides of the ball. The Bulldogs can beat anyone in the Mountain West on any given Saturday and the next few weeks should be telling, in where the Bulldogs will end up. Only two more wins are needed to make them bowl eligible.
The Rams (1 - 5, 0 - 2), in contrast, won their first game against the CU Buffs, but haven't been able to put it together since. While its true that the Rams lost several of their best players on defense and had their starting QB transfer schools, the lack of production offensively has been crippling, as the defense cannot stay on the field as long as they have asked to be. There is a lack of depth on both sides of the ball, which has been exposed in every game but the first. Coach Jim McElwain has a much bigger rebuilding job than he thought in the beginning. How much of the Rams mostly predictable offense is the product of McElwain as offensive coordinator from the Alabama Crimson Tide and how much is Dave Baldwin, former offensive coordinator for the Utah State Aggies?
One could hear the crowd grown when CSU lined up in the power set in third or fourth and short. The Bulldogs were able to stuff the box full of defenders, sniff out the play and move the line of scrimmage backward into the Ram backfield. On one sack, the Ram's QB didn't even get to finish his drop back before he was sacked. For the hornless Rams to succeed on offense, they are going to have to spread defenses out on these plays and make them respect the pass. If McElwain believes that the Rams will be able to push the line forward to allow the running game to flow between the tackles, he had better take the Rams to the WAC to play NMSU and Idaho or lower echelon Sun Belt teams. The first hint of this was the safety against NDSU, where the Ram offensive line was pushed back into the end zone and the play was blown up because there was literally no where to run. The Rams lack the size, strength and sheer will to push teams back in these scenarios. The Ram's only chance, then, is to become less predictable and create mismatches through deception, rather than trying to dominate teams physically. For homecoming next year, this Ram Alum respectfully requests Jack Graham to reschedule UNC (University of Northern Colorado), which was one of CSU's three wins last year. Everyone deserves a chance for a win on homecoming!

Mark Shields: 'The Most Urgent Priority America Has Is To Find Jobs For Young Egyptians'
Out of the mouths of babes...
On Friday's "Inside Washington," during a discussion about American foreign policy in the Middle East and Africa, PBS's Mark Shields actually said, "The most urgent priority that we have is to find jobs somehow, not simply for Americans, which is an urgent priority, but for young Egyptians" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: The administration's policy on Syria is incomprehensible. Sometimes you have to choose between a strategic ally, like say Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, and human rights, you know, and you decide, ok, I'll give up on rights because I have to protect the strategic ally. But Syria is an enemy, an ally of Iran. It funneled fighters into Iraq who killed Americans. Here is a regime teetering at the edge. There is a genuine revolution, and we are doing and saying almost nothing. It is a scandal.
GORDON PETERSON, HOST: Hasn't the state department been pushing for engagement with the Syrian government so that they can weaken its allegiance to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran?
KRAUTHAMMER: And for the same reason that Obama spoke so weakly about the revolution in Iran in 2009, because he had a fantasy of negotiating with the Mullahs over the nukes, which was of course a fantasy, and thus he did nothing. Here they've had this (?) of negotiating Assad out of his alliance with Iran and Hezbollah, which Americans have dreamed about for 30 years. It is a fantasy. And in the name of that he sent an ambassador into Syria. Still there. He has to be withdrawn tomorrow as at least the beginning of a statement of opposition to the regime.
NINA TOTENBERG, NPR: Charles didn't note that part of Mrs. Clinton's statement, which I think was at the opening of the show, actually did denounce what was going on in Syria. But, you know, Secretaries of State always do these sort of little formal dances that don't mean a lot. What I think probably the any administration would realize that there is a limit to what we can do about Syria. You don't want to get so far out there that you are involved in something that you can't do something about.
PETERSON: Well, we're involved in Libya, we're sending drones in now.
TOTENBERG: There, we have some capacity. Some of us on this panel didn't think it was a great idea to get involved there either, but, but at least we have some capacity. In Syria we don't have much of a capacity…
KRAUTHAMMER: Why's our ambassador still in Damascus?
PETERSON: Let me hear from Mark.
MARK SHIELDS, PBS: I am envious. I wish I was as sure of anything as Charles is of everything. And I would say that the most important…
KRAUTHAMMER: Well that is why I sleep so well and I look so young.
SHIELDS: Obviously is. The most urgent priority that we have is to find jobs somehow, not simply for Americans, which is an urgent priority, but for young Egyptians. That is going to determine whether, in fact, this revolution is going to take root and take a positive development.
We have an 8.8 percent unemployment rate - far higher if you count folks that have dropped out of the labor force due to their discouragement as well as those working part-time that wish they could find more hours. We have now set a new post-Depression record for the number of months this rate has been eight percent or higher.
The current administration has shown itself completely inept when it comes to job creation within our own shores, and this liberal media member thinks it's an urgent priority for us to find jobs for young people thousands of miles away in a foreign land.

Yo, Marky-poo:
How about finding some jobs for AMERICANS?
Unemployment, inflation, suicide rates, foreclosures, food prices, gas prices and the misery index have all skyrocketed under the 'boot' of your 'clean, articulate black man who can speak with a negro dialect when he wants to' president.
This shows exactly where you libutards' priorities are. You'd rather 'find jobs' for Egyptians who are tearing their own country apart, instead of making jobs for the Americans who pay your wretched salary.

We All Have Fun Caricaturing Liberal Media
Submitted by Comrade Jim on Sat, 04/23/2011 - 11:06am.
By trying to out-absurd the absurd, asinine comments made by liberal media stars. But Mark Shields has me a bit stumped on this one.
For example I could write:
Obama has created too many shovel-ready jobs in the U.S. Our major problem now is how to export the excess jobs to Egypt?
This is only marginally more absurd than Shields' statement; Also there is a possibility that some other idiot in the media might pick up such a statement and pass it off as his/her own deep thought. After all, many statements have been made by, say, Ed Schultz alone that are far more absurd than this.
So I'll take a pass on this one.

Jobs for Egyptians! Problem solved!
Submitted by Newsbubba on Sat, 04/23/2011 - 11:55am.
Here we read that Marky poo thinks we should find jobs for Egyptian youts, and just two short blogs down, Tim Graham has hit on the solution by identifying a problem some liberal whack job has!
Some liberal fool (excuse the redundancy) has proposed a Charles Krauthammer Day to celebrate something he hates (imagine! A liberal hating) about Krauthammer! He wants to combine it with Easter and have an Exploding Easter Egg Hunt! Now is that cuter than a spotted puppy in a little red wagon or what? Maybe they will invite Sarah Palin to bring Trig along so he can find one of these darling eggs.
Seems the only problem Tim's man is having is finding people who are willing and able to create exploding Easter eggs. Enter Mark. We can have the "moderate" Egyptian youts make the exploding Easter eggs! They are eminently qualified, and would probably work for free considering the cause.
It's a Win-Win, Mark! You and your fellow non-violent liberal butt buddies need to get together and solve both problems with one bang-up plan, you jack wagons.

But you're correct. There is no road too low for these "liberal intellectual elites" to travel when it comes to the area of personal attacks.

"Finding" vs. "Creating" jobs, classic Dem/conservative split
Submitted by gopcongress on Sun, 04/24/2011 - 1:43pm.
How do you "find" jobs in the first place? No matter whether the jobs needed are in Cairo, Egypt or Cairo, Alabama (or the other 18 states that have a city named Cairo), one needs CAPITALISM to create the jobs in the first place. Capitalism demands risk and innovation, which cannot be guaranteed by state decree.
For journalists to purposely misuse this term to indicate what needs to be done means they are more for controlling people's lives through government edict, much like how Egypt's uprising manifested itself in the first place.
The BEST way to "solve" Egyptian unemployment is simple, but not easy. To do it, one must...
1. Eliminate socialism from American politics, re-instituting constitutional governance in our day-to-day lives, particularly with respect to the economy.
2. Export such a constitutional governance to other countries via primarily economic incentives, eliminating the need for defensive (military) operations.
3. Once that governance takes off in Egypt and elsewhere, then the problem is solved.
The answer is NOT that complicated, BUT it takes a lot of will and a lot of national and, later, global resolve to carry out.

The Eagles will start rookie first-round pick Danny Watkins Sunday at the Bills, benching ORG Kyle DeVan, according to reports.
The Wilmington News-Journal first reported the story.
Watkins was the starter at right guard through training camp until he was benched a week before the season started. He was replaced by DeVan, who was signed a week before the season. DeVan has started all four games thus far.
Watkins was inactive for three of the first four games.
The way we see it
The Eagles are looking for something to help improve their struggling offensive line. They have struggled in short-yardage and goal-to-go situations running the ball and pass protecting Michael Vick.
The Eagles are hoping that Watkins' size (310 pounds) and athleticism will help in both areas and help to turn around a disappointing 1-3 start.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Trucks at Atlantic Yards continue to violate site protocols, obstructing a public street
According to incident reports 395 and 399, more violations of the Barclays Center Delivery Truck Rules and Regulations, the Amended Memorandum of Environmental Commitments and New York City law by Atlantic Yards-related construction trucks took place on Thursday 11/17/11 and Friday 11/18/11.
Trucks are shown idling for more than the 3 minutes allowed by NYC law, parking in travel lanes, and blocking traffic.
There are currently approximately eleven entrances to the project footprint used by construction-related vehicles. A system set up this summer and fall was designed so that a dispatcher prevents trucks from crossing Carlton Avenue on Pacific Street until the construction entrance designated to receive the trucks signals it is ready. This protocol apparently broke down, leading to numerous instances of trucks queueing and idling on the public section of Pacific Street between 6th Avenue and Carlton. This is a violation of the Barclays Center Truck Rules.
The incident reports describe the dispatcher allowing trucks into the public section of Pacific Street even though it was already obstructed by double-parked cars, one of which turned out to be the illegally parked car of a construction worker. The construction worker's car contributed to a one-hour blockage of the street.
The impacts described in the incident reports include less safe traffic and pedestrian conditions, blocked traffic, honking, and the air and noise impacts of idling engines. The reports illustrate a public street in essence turned into an extension of the construction site.
In September 2011, ESDC served FCRC with a "notice of violation" for non-compliance with truck protocols. Upon serving a notice of a violation, ESDC apparently allows the developer one month to resolve the violations before fines of $1,000 a day are imposed. The status of the resolution of the September violation is not known at the time of this writing.
Building #2 announcement raises questions about construction plans, parking and open space
The New York Times has unveiled pictures of what may be the first residential building to be built at Atlantic Yards. If this design is used for what is called Building #2, the 350-unit building will be the tallest using modular construction in the world.
At the last several District Service Cabinet meetings FCRC Vice Presidents Jane Marshall and Bob Sanna have stated alternate plans using modular and conventional construction are being prepared by FCRC. The Times notes that "the developer ultimately may instead decide to build the first tower conventionally."
According to the Wall Street Journal, FCRC will build using modular techniques if an agreement can be reached with the construction unions. The Journal cites Bruce Ratner that existing incentives for developments where half the units are priced for middle and low income tenants "don't work for a high-rise building that is union-built." Norman Oder in Atlantic Yards Report calls this a "stunning contention" and "astounding admission" because in both 2006 and 2009 the State found plausible the developer's argument it could build the residential development with existing incentives within ten years. Evidence to the contrary was ignored when those findings were made.
The Times states FCRC hopes to begin construction early next year. This information is consistent with statements made by FCRC at the November 3 District Service Cabinet meeting. The start date for construction has been delayed several times by FCRC. When the 2009 Modified General Project Plan was approved, Building #2 was expected to start in the fall of 2010. In the fall of 2010, FCRC stated they hoped to start construction in early 2011.
A lot may have to be accomplished to start construction in the spring of 2012. The Wall Street Journal states that FCRC does not yet have construction financing in place. The developer is negotiating with union leaders who had anticipated members would receive higher hourly rates associated with on-site construction. In order to build using modular techniques, FCRC apparently intends to build a factory to manufacture components, but a location for that factory has not been chosen yet. And other questions with implications for the existing community and the future residents of Building #2 remain unanswered.
Traffic barriers and signs on Pacific Street are restored
After nearly six months, missing traffic barriers, parking regulation signs and traffic signs have been restored to Pacific Street between 6th and Carlton Avenues. The "MPT" (Maintenance and Protection of Traffic) measures were the victim of the heavy use of that block by Atlantic Yards related construction trucks. The parking regulation signs were apparently removed to enable illegal construction worker parking.
The barriers and signs are "temporary" measures implemented for the period the Carlton Avenue Bridge is closed. They are designed to delineate for drivers the current mid-block shift of Pacific Street from a westbound one-way to a two-way between 6th Avenue and the entrance to the LIRR ramp into Vanderbilt Railyards. LIRR vehicles must enter the ramp from the west due to its angle to the street. With the re-opening of the Carlton Avenue Bridge, Pacific Street between 6th Avenue and Carlton Avenue will be returned to a two-way for the full-length of the block.
These measures have had to last longer than anticipated because the Carlton Avenue Bridge, originally anticipated to be closed for two years, will have been closed for four and a half years if it opens on the current schedule. They were restored because a community member raised the issue with NYCDOT. Although NYCDOT approves MPT measures associated with Atlantic Yards, it is FCRC's contractors who install and maintain them.
Clinton Hill/Bedford Stuyvesant block association calls for traffic calming measures
The Classon, Lexington and Quincy Block Association (CLEXY) has released a petition with over 500 signatures calling for traffic calming measures to address current health and safety risks due to illegal truck usage, speeding and congestion on Classon Avenue. According to President Laura Benko, the block association is in agreement with the Department of Transportation's plans for traffic calming on Classon, but asks for additional measures because it believes current conditions will be worsened by traffic generated by Atlantic Yards.
Atlantic Avenue water main installation begins between Carlton and Vanderbilt
The installation of new sewer and water mains on Atlantic Avenue between Carlton and Vanderbilt Avenues began last night and produced three noise complaints. Although the work will line some areas of the project's second phase footprint, it is a City project not considered part of Atlantic Yards.
The work last night involved using an excavator to pound shoring into the ground so that work can take place inside the trench. That activity can be loud. This work will continue tonight, as well as Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings next week. The trench will then be temporarily plated and asphalted and the work will move to another location.
The work is occurring at night because Atlantic Avenue is a major thoroughfare. The project is expected to be completed next summer. Daytime work in the same vicinity is Atlantic Yards-related. Apparently, today jackhammering took place underneath Atlantic Avenue inside the railyard.
The Community Construction Liaison for the water and sewer main work on Atlantic Avenue is Kamala Questel from the New York City Department of Design and Construction. Her office hours are generally Monday through Friday at 936 Fulton Street. Her telephone number is (718) 789-1464 and her email is email@example.com.
Video captures morning gridlock in north Slope
Video shot by a local resident on the morning of October 17 shows significant gridlock on Flatbush Avenue south of the Atlantic Yards project. Traffic appears locked at the intersection of Flatbush, Sixth Avenue and St. Marks Avenue. The cameraman then walks down Sixth Avenue to show further gridlock at the intersection of Sixth and Prospect Place. He reports these conditions have become an everyday occurrence.
Neglected fences, not development or artwork, characterize the project's second phase
"Works in Progress," Artbridge's exhibition of 20 digital prints installed in segments along construction fencing circling the arena block, is located on Flatbush Avenue, Dean Street and 6th Avenue. It will be in place until April or May of next year.
Artbridge is a non-profit public arts organization that according to its website, "beautifies neighborhoods and communities by transforming overhead construction scaffolding into larger-than-life canvas for the work of local emerging artists."
The photo to the left shows the exhibition being installed on a portion of the fencing along Dean Street between 6th Avenue and Flatbush Tuesday October 18th.
The effect of the exhibition is enhanced by the active construction of the Barclays Center rising behind as a backdrop. But its total running length is only 425 feet, and it is installed next to the first elements of project construction. The 22 acre project footprint has approximately 6,000 linear feet of fencing along its perimeter.
When the exhibition was announced to the public in June, AYW ran a story including a photograph (below, left) of a fence located on Atlantic Avenue at Vanderbilt. The photo to the right was taken October 8th.

ESDC's flawed analysis of sidewalk widths highlights risk in privatizing arena planning and oversight
(Based on research by Peter Krashes and Danae Oratowski)
In response to an AYW story showing the effective sidewalk widths on the arena block are going to be narrower than ESDC's 2006 environmental analysis has assessed, the agency's environmental monitor HDR submitted a Technical Memorandum to the Department of Transportation revising effective sidewalk widths and reassessing the sidewalks' level of service.
HDR's Technical Memorandum about the arena block's sidewalks is flawed. It incorrectly applies its own formula for assessing effective sidewalk widths. As a result of that mistake the Technical Memorandum overstates the effective widths of numerous sidewalks on the arena block by several feet. And HDR uses outdated pedestrian numbers from the 2006 FEIS even though the sidewalk conditions being analyzed should be based on the 2009 Modified General Project Plan.
As a result, the level of service calculations (which relate the number of pedestrians anticipated to use a sidewalk in a period of peak use to the sidewalk's capacity) are invalid and should not be accepted.
An area of Fort Greene is now to receive rodent-proof trash cans
Patch reports the area eligible to receive rodent proof trash cans has been expanded into a portion of Fort Greene. This news follows Council Member James' request at the last District Service Cabinet that the distribution area for cans be expanded into Fort Greene as a response to complaints from community members.
Previously distribution was confined to the area from the east side of 4th Avenue to the east side of Vanderbilt Avenue south of the project site. During the last distribution of cans in August, they were available to residents of buildings with 12 units or less. According to Patch 150 trash cans will be distributed as early as this weekend to residents in the vicinity of South Oxford Street.
One filer of an incident report living in Fort Greene at Fulton Street and South Portland Avenue wrote, "We have never had such a severe rat infestation in the 28 years I've been around."
In the meantime, within the area that lidded cans were distributed over the summer residents raised the issue of rodents again at the Carlton Avenue Block Association and the Dean Street Block Association (DSBA) meetings in mid-September.
At the Carlton Avenue meeting it was reported that rats were still seen on Carlton between Dean Street and St. Marks Avenue.
At the DSBA meeting residents reported Dean Street near Carlton Avenue is improved but not rodent free. They reported problems continue on Pacific Street near 6th Avenue with multiple sightings in September from people leaving Newswalk. Problems also continue across the street from the fire station on Dean (the photo of a dead rodent was taken in that location 9/18).
A resident of 6th Avenue between Dean and Bergen Streets says conditions are better, but not resolved.
State and City agencies allow extended hours construction across the entire Atlantic Yards site
Construction hours in New York City generally span the period from 7 am to 6 pm weekdays. One work shift five days a week from 7 am to 3:30 pm is the norm.
Atlantic Yards is different with extended construction hours taking place throughout the project and its vicinity. Even though the developer currently is a leaseholder of a little more than half of the project's prospective 22 acre site, construction still takes place throughout much of the 22 acres. And construction in every location has been allowed by the State and City agencies that oversee the work to extend beyond NYC's normal weekday construction hours.
The map above is indexed to show the locations where permission to conduct work outside of normal construction hours is detailed in the Atlantic Yards Construction Update dated from September 25th to October 9th. The 2006 footprint of the project is highlighted in orange; areas with active construction work are a stronger orange.

Leveraging Late Stage Industrial Intellectual Property for Economic Development and Entrepreneurship
Douglas N. Arion
Hedberg Distinguished Professor of Entrepreneurial Studies and Professor of Physics,
Carthage College
Matthew Wagner
Executive Director,
Center for Advanced Technology and Innovation
Carthage College and the Center for Advanced Technologies and Innovation (CATI) have developed and implemented a successful model in which students use underutilized, late-stage intellectual property (IP) culled from industrial partners to develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of entrepreneurship, and develop products that result in regional economic development. The IP utilized is late-stage—more appropriate for commercialization than more traditional technology transfer activities based on early-stage research activities. The senior business plan projects in the Carthage ScienceWorks program are designed around leveraging CATI IP, and have resulted in several successful startups and new ventures. This workshop will describe a number of the success stories, and provide the background, methodologies, and databases that will allow other NCIIA members to utilize both this approach and the extensive intellectual property library of CATI in their own programs.

Red Hat begins RHEL 5.3 Beta
Linux company Red Hat has announced the beta release of version 5.3 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL) products.
Based on the 2.6.18-120.e15 kernel, the beta version includes server for x86 platforms, 64 bit AMD and Intel, and Systems p and z Itanium Processor for IBM. An update is available, but Red Hat warns this is unreliable regarding system settings, services and custom configurations, and recommends a new installation. Also, attempts to update with separately installed GFS2 kernel modules will result in an error message. The beta test ends in January 2009, when the final release is expected.
Among the improvements are virtualization enhancements with support for up to 126 CPUs in the x86_64 hypervisor and drivers added for use of RHEL as a guest on KVM hypervisors. Cluster improvements include support for GFS2 file systems. Support for Windows Vista and 2008 is provided by Red Hat's rebased Samba 3.0.32.
The release comes with a multitude of new drivers including the updated graphic drivers r400 and r500. The Enterprise Desktop also tests Network Manager 0.7. A detailed description of version 5.3, with instructions on installation and further innovations, can be seen on the release notes web page.

(FOX 11/CNS) - There will be high police visibility at the Los Angeles International Airport throughout the weekend in response to a Friday shooting attack where a man with an assault rifle shot his way through a checkpoint killing a federal security agent and wounding at least three men, officials said today.
The "enhanced deployment" will include additional resources from the Los Angeles Police Department as well as federal air marshals, said Los Angeles Airport Police Chief Patrick Gannon during a 1 p.m. news conference in the parking lot of the Los Angeles World Airports' Administration Building.
"We'll keep it (the enhanced deployment) going as long as we think it's necessary," Gannon said. "Our approach to security here is layered. We have a number of different ways to keep this airport safe."
During the news conference, LAWA Executive Director Gina Marie Lindsey announced that Terminal 3 had reopened. She also said that most of the terminals are reporting normal operations, "just very, very busy."
Lindsey reported that there have been 30 cancellations at the airport and said that JetBlue, operating at Long Beach Airport, is expected to return to LAX this evening.
The reported gunman, Paul Anthony Ciancia, walked into Terminal 3 around 9:20 a.m. Friday, pulled out an assault rifle -- believed to be an AR-15 assault rifle - and began shooting, said Patrick Gannon, chief of the Airport Police Department.
"He proceeded up into the screening area where TSA screeners are and continued shooting," Gannon said, adding that the gunman "went past the screeners and back into the terminal itself."
He said airport police pursued the suspect, who was shot and taken into custody inside the terminal.
During the news conference, City Councilman Mike Bonin called the airport police officers' response to the shooting "textbook," saving "untold lives."
The FBI is expected to release more details of their investigation at a 4 p.m. news conference in Westwood.
