The Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) is warning its customers of a new, nationwide utility bill scam.
Over the past several days numerous LIPA customers have received telephone calls from individuals claiming to work for LIPA, demanding payment through a prepaid card on past-due balances.
These non-LIPA callers threaten customers that if they don't make payment through these prepaid cards; their service will immediately be shut-off for non-payment. Customers are then directed to purchase such a prepaid card to make the payment in order to keep their power on. LIPA does not accept payments through prepaid cards, and customers should not give any confidential information to any such callers.
In some cases the caller also tells the customer that they may have a faulty meter that is dangerous and in need of replacing for a substantial fee. Customers should be aware that the electric meter is the property of LIPA and is not customer-owned equipment.
LIPA does contact customers with past due balances by phone to offer payment options, but never demands direct payment over the telephone. LIPA currently does not accept credit or debit card payments. Customers who have received calls demanding immediate payment through a pre-paid card or who have billing questions should call the Customer Contact Center at 1-800-490-0025 or 631-755-6000.
LIPA Encourages Customers to Use The Following Tips from the Better Business Bureau to Avoid Falling for this Scam:
- Never provide your social security number, credit card number or banking information to anyone requesting it over the phone or at your home unless you initiated the contact and feel confident with whom you are speaking.
- If you receive a call claiming to be your utility company and feel pressured for immediate payment or personal information, hang up the phone and call the customer service number on your utility bill.
- Never allow anyone into your home to check electrical wiring, natural gas pipes or appliances unless you have scheduled an appointment or have reported a utility problem. Also, ask utility employees for proper identification.
- Always think safety first. Do not give in to high pressure tactics over the phone for information or in person to get into your home.

The Department of Sociology at Rice University aims to educate undergraduate and graduate students and further on-going sociological research. As a member of the School of Social Sciences, we offer four-year Bachelor of the Arts degrees and Ph.D. degrees. For those seeking further education/research-opportunities past a doctoral level, we also offer a post-doctoral program.
Immigration to the U.S. may result in increased smoking in Latino and Asian women, according to new research from sociologists at Rice University, Duke University and the University of Southern California.
Immigrant children from all racial and ethnic backgrounds are more likely to be sedentary than U.S.-born white children, according to a new study by sociologists at Rice University. The researchers said their findings should remind pediatricians and parents of children in immigrant families to encourage physical activity.
New immigration research from Rice University suggests the U.S. should re-evaluate its definition of skilled workers to include informal skills of migrant workers.

1. "Homer at Bat," Friday, Aug. 22, 11:30 a.m. ET
Why it's great: Everything. "Homer at Bat" is perfection rolled into 20-some minutes. This episode aired early in the series life, but is one of the most memorable for how many baseball players and references are made in a single episode. From Mr. Burns' crusade against sideburns, to "Wonderbat" this episode has it all. If you've somehow managed to miss this then it's an absolute must-watch.

Astros slugger Chris Carter: The most 2014 player of 2014
What's happening is that with strikeouts at historically unprecedented levels, even for non-power hitters, there are fewer productive outs that move runners along and provide chances for runs to be driven home without putting a ball over the fence. That keeps control of the game in the hands of the sluggers, even as raw home run totals drop.
There are those who might say that this is a troubling trend, that by relying more on brute force, baseball loses key strategic elements, and the ...Read More...

Brisbee: The 10 most underrated players in baseball, part 2
Part 1 here.
What is an underrated baseball player?... It's the Supreme Court definition of obscenity: I know it when I see it. There's a feeling of je ne sais notice that goes along with the player, good, great or otherwise. The only thing I'm pretty sure of is that players who have won the All-Star voting in recent years aren't eligible. That's a clear popularity contest, and the popularity eliminates players from consideration. Sorry, Josh Donaldson.

NoSQL standouts: New databases for new applications
Cassandra, CouchDB, MongoDB, Redis, Riak, Neo4J, and FlockDB reinvent the data storeFollow @peterwayner
The downsides to this experimentation are often ignored in all of the excitement. In the past, developers built nice cross-database libraries to smooth the differences and make it easier to switch. Many Java developers, for instance, write code that rests on the JDBC libraries. The databases are pretty close to interchangeable. None of these old libraries work with these new databases that thumb their nose at the old orthodoxies. Although many of the projects share similar approaches, moving from one to another can require more than a few lines of rewriting. (This may be changing because there's at least one project aiming to create Hibernate-bindings for the major NoSQL databases. Hibernate OGM could make it possible to point your Hibernate-based application at any of the NoSQL databases it's able to support.)
To make matters worse, many ancillary items are missing. There's a very fertile category of report-generating tools that work with any database out there, a fact that was made possible by the boring, old standard query language. None of the new databases will work with these tools out of the box, and they may never work without plenty of sweat. There may be hundreds or perhaps thousands of packages that work with SQL and only a few that are able to help NoSQL packages.
There are some indications that this kind of interchangeability will take a long time to emerge in the NoSQL space, if it appears at all. All of that experimentation is generating features that don't overlap very easily. Although it wouldn't be hard to write basic routines that abstract away the keys and values, anything more sophisticated would start to fray quickly. The query languages, for instance, are very different.
To get some feel for the options in this incredibly fertile space, I spent some time installing these packages and inserting some rows. It was, for the most part, simple, fun, and relatively fast. All of the packages are relatively stable and useful -- for the right projects. But none of them are as feature-rich or sophisticated as the best commercial SQL tools.
NoSQL databases: Cassandra
Facebook needed something fast and cheap to handle the billions of status updates, so it started this project and eventually moved it to Apache where it's found plenty of support in many communities. It's not just for Facebook any longer. Many of the committing programmers come from other companies, and the project chair works at DataStax.com, a company devoted to providing commercial support for Cassandra.
The heritage of the Cassandra project is obvious because it's a good tool for tracking lots of data, such as status updates at Facebook. The tool helps create a network of computers that all carry the same data. Each machine is meant to be equal to the others, and all of them should end up being consistent once the data propagates around the P2P network of nodes, though it's not guaranteed. The key phrase is "eventual consistency," not "perfect consistency." If you've watched your status updates disappear and reappear on Facebook, you'll understand what this means.
The tool runs in Java as a separate process waiting for interaction. There's already a collection of higher-level libraries for Java, Python, Ruby, and PHP, as well as some of the other languages.
Using Cassandra seems relatively simple, but I still found myself getting hung up on several barriers, such as defining a keyspace (which acts as a namespace but for the columns). Getting up to speed takes more than a few minutes because there are more than just the basic routines for storing collections of values. Cassandra is happy with a sparse matrix where each row stores only a few standard columns, and it builds the indices with this in mind.

Boulder Outlook hotel sells for $9.3 million
Last Updated: 15:38 January 13, 2014
In October, ACC redevelopment plans received unanimous site review approval from the city's planning board for a two-building, 100-unit apartment complex geared toward University of Colorado students just east of the main campus.
Chuck Carroll, vice president of development with ACC, said Monday that his company is going through the technical document review process with the city now. He said groundbreaking is anticipated for late this year or the first quarter of next year.
In the meantime, the Outlook will continue to operate.
ACC purchased the site from a local ownership group, Republic of Boulder Hotel Group LLC, which paid $5 million for the property in 2002. Dan King, a partner in that group, has formed a separate entity to continue operating the hotel for ACC.
King said he's booking reservations through November, but doesn't have a closing date nailed down yet, calling it a "rolling target."
King said the Republic of Boulder Hotel Group's intention always was to sell the property for redevelopment. He said developers were showing interest in 2008 "at numbers that made sense to us" before the economy went south.
"Then 2009 came along and all the money went away, so we had to wait awhile," King said.
ACC also owns the University Village at Boulder Creek Apartments at 2600 Taft Drive, and partnered with the University of Colorado on the Bear Creek Apartments at 3275 Apache Road near Williams Village.
The Outlook redevelopment is slated to include two four-story buildings with an open area in between with a pool and sand volleyball courts. A six-level wrapped parking garage, with two levels under ground, is also included in the plans, complete with a rooftop deck on top of the parking structure.
Carroll said the estimated cost of the project is still in flux as the group nails down final approvals with the city and hires a contractor.

DENISON -- They were endorsed by Roy Rogers and marketed as the hottest vessel on the market in the 1950's.
Yellow Jacket boats became anchored in Denison history when they first went on sale more than 50 years ago.
Tens of thousands were sold nationwide and many have become collectors' items.
Now, anyone can own a piece of the historic Yellow Jacket Boat Company.As a way of allowing history to live on, the first of ten benches made from vintage mahogany wood used to make Yellow Jacket boats was unveiled at the Denison Country Club on Wednesday.
The benches were built using a stack of wood still around since the company closed in the late 50's.
"Very special, very unique items because this lumber dates from 1959. It is actual Yellow Jacket surplus material," said David Kanally, president of the Wooden Boat Association.
The men who carved the bench, Bob Adair and Lewis White, say it took them 100 hours to make but say it was a labor of love.
"It really is an honor," Adair said.
"The whole Yellow Jacket program is beginning to get much bigger and this is part of it," White said.
Each bench will be stamped with a vintage Yellow Jacket label.
Out of the ten benches set to be built, eight are still up for sale at a cost of $2,000 each.
The proceeds will go towards the upcoming $4.9 million renovation of the Munson stadium and home of the Denison High School Yellow Jackets.
"We've already raised about $4.3 million so this $20,000 will take us on down the road to meet our goal," said Dr. Henry Scott, Denison school superintendent.

The nerds in MailChimp Labs recently unveiled a new experiment called the Subject Line Researcher. It's kind of like Google's Keyword Tool, but for email marketing. And it's free for all MailChimp users.
- To test your subject line go to the Setup step of the Campaign Builder.
- Click the How do I write a good subject line? link under the Email subject field.
- In the How do I write a good subject line? pop-up modal, click the option for Subject line researcher.
- Type some terms into the subject line terms field on the Subject Line Researcher popup window and press the Search button to populate results. For the best results, enter one term or phrase per line and use no more than 3 terms per phrase.
- When you click the search button MailChimp will compare those terms to all subject lines ever used in our system, displaying a 5 star rating system for how the subject lines containing those terms performed.
It's better to enter just a couple of keywords, to keep the search broad, and see subject lines that may have incorporated those terms in different ways than expected.
MailChimp will tell you how those words have performed in the past. As you can see from the screenshot, you might want to check out "Holiday Gift Guide" instead of say Holiday Gift Ideas, because it performed better. Or, maybe you should consider using our patent-pending A/B split testing tool to experiment with two subject lines on the same campaign.
Notice we don't give you exact numbers on open rates. We give you nice, pretty little stars. We're not going to open a can of worms by promising that the word "Free" will give you +40% open rates. The idea here is to simply give you more — well, ideas.
Now keep in mind, this is only our first stab at predictive reporting. It took months to generate this data, using our in-house supercomputer, some genetic pairing science, and Amazon EC2. Actually, we were doing something else entirely with our experiment, but this happened to be a cool byproduct, so we added it to our app.
Point is, we're far from complete, and it's far from perfect, but this'll get better as more people use it and send us feedback.
Email Marketing Subject Line Comparison
Study of Best and Worst Open Rates on MailChimp
People who are new to email marketing often ask us, "How should I write my subject lines so that more recipients will open my emails?" In order to answer that question, we recently analyzed over 40 million emails sent from customers through MailChimp, and found the ones with the highest open rates and the ones with the lowest open rates. Then we pulled 20 from each pile and put their subject lines in a side-by-side comparison. The "highest" open rates were in the range of 60%-87%, while the "lowest" performers fell in the dismal 1%-14% range. Do you see a pattern below?
|Best Open Rates (60%-87%)
|Worst Open Rates (1%-14%)
On the "best" side, you'll notice the subject lines are pretty straightforward. They're not very "salesy" or "pushy" at all. Heck, some people might even say they're "boring." On the "worst" side however, notice how the subject lines read like headlines from advertisements you'd see in the Sunday paper. They might look more "creative," but their open rates are horrible. It's as if those email marketers assumed that subject lines have to jump off the screen and "GRAB THE READER'S ATTENTION!" or something. Unfortunately, most people get so much junk mail in their inbox, anything that even hints of spam gets thrown away immediately.
Setting Expectations
So does that mean your subject lines should be really stale and un-creative to get high open rates? We don't think so. In our study, we actually saw some campaigns that used more "creative" subject lines (like the ones on the "bad" side of our table) but they had pretty decent open rates. The difference seemed to be in the expectations that were set for the emails.
For example, email "newsletters" are for "soft-selling." They build relationships with your customers, and they're great if your products have a very long sales cycle. Use them to slowly soften your customers for the sale, or to make them feel really good about your brand. If your recipients signed up for these kinds of emails, don't expect them to be very enthusiastic when, out of the blue, you send an email with a subject line like, "10% Discount! Open Now!" For newsletters, keep your subject lines simple, straightforward, and consistent.
On the other hand, if your subscribers specifically opted in to receive "special offers and promotions" from your company, there's nothing wrong with saying there's a "10% off e-coupon inside." They'll be expecting a "hard sell" from you. It's when marketers send promotional emails to their entire "newsletter" list when things go wrong. The idea is to create a totally separate opt-in list for those who want to receive promotional emails. Furthermore, segment your promotions list into smaller, more focused groups before you send your campaign (don't send an offer for purses and high-heel shoes to the men on your list).
The Secret Formula for Subject-Lines
So what's our advice for email subject lines? This is going to sound "stupid simple" to a lot of people, but here goes: Your subject line should (drum roll please): Describe the subject of your email. Yep, that's it.
Always set your subscribers' expectations during the opt-in process about what kinds of emails they'll be receiving. Don't confuse newsletters with promotions. If your email is a newsletter, put the name and issue of the newsletter in your subject line. Because that's what's inside. If your email is a special promotion, tell them what's inside. Either way, just don't write your subject lines like advertisements.
When it comes to email marketing, the best subject lines tell what's inside, and the worst subject lines sell what's inside.

Guardavalle - lungomare
The name "Italy" is shrouded in mystery; some etymologists trace it to a Greek word meaning "the land of young cattle."
Italy was fond of Jupiter and Mars from the very start, Jupiter for fatherly good luck and Mars for war!
But it all began with Rome. Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus who were sons of Rhea and Mars.
The twins were abandoned at birth out of a fear that they would grow up and later overthrow Amelius, usurper of their grandfather's rightful throne.
Wrongful mis-doings most foul! Treachery and sabotage!! HOW would these two blessed infants make their way in such a world?
As it turns out, the twins didn't have to make their way very far, because one of them killed the other one and then they weren't twins anymore. But that happens later.
First they got rescued by a she-wolf who suckled them with her milk and raised them as her own until they were discovered by the shepherd Faustulus.
Faustulus fed them meat and bread and also raised them as his own until they were old enough to return to Amelius and hack him up as planned. They reinstated the grandfather Numitor to his rightful throne and went off to celebrate by starting a town of their own.
They chose a hilly area where the mama wolf had saved them from certain death in the barren wilderness and began scouting locations.
Romulus liked one hill. Remus liked another. The circle of crows like Romulus' hill, so Romulus killed Remus and named the town after himself. Thus Rome was born and Italy with it.

Do you think the couple should have given the ball to the child?
As we all know, the Internet can be a force of pure evil or an invaluable blessing.
When all the Internet brings us is another day of Hologram Tupac jokes, I start to wonder if we really even need it at all. I mean, think about it. Don't you think you could live the rest of your life having never seen another LOL'cat or having to skim through the comments section of a local news story? I know I could.
But, then there are the times where the Internet acts as a form of non-violent vigilante justice, like the Guardian Angels, the Super Friends or the A-Team. And that was the case with the video that has gone viral from last night's Rangers-Yankees game.
In case you have yet to see it, let me catch you up. Mitch Moreland tosses a foul ball into the stands, as players do dozens of times in a game. This ball ended up in row that was occupied by a middle-aged couple seated next to another couple with a young son. The boy, as most kids do, was excited to be able to take home the foul ball as a souvenir. Only Mitch's throw was a bit off and the ball landed in the crosshairs of the middle-aged couple.
No biggie, right? All adult humans not raised by a pack of ill-mannered wolves know that if you catch a foul ball and there's a kid around, you give them the ball. This is also commonly (or not so commonly, since I'm inventing it right now) referred to as "Mean Joe Green'ing" a kid. It's just a foregone conclusion you give the ball to the kid. It's written into our social contract.
A foul ball is worthless, as far as a sellable piece of memorabilia. It's not as if giving the ball to a kid would take money out of anyone's pocket. Not to mention that in this particular video, it's very apparent that the small child was reaching for the ball, and when he realized the couple had no intentions of handing over the ball, the little boy started to cry.
Okay, let me stop right there. Now, we don't know where this couple is from. Maybe they are from a country far, far away from ours and they are unaware of our society's traditions and customs. I'm willing to bet that this is not the case, if for no other reason than the fact that the middle-aged woman who kept the ball is wearing a bedazzled Rangers cap that just screams Frisco.
So, let's safely assume that this was not some sort of wacky '80s comedy where foreigners who have no clue that you give foul balls to kids go around inadvertently making children cry. If you are an adult with at least a few synapses firing correctly and see that there is a child next to you who wanted that foul ball and is now crying because you have decided to keep it and are okay with that, I don't want you at the Ballpark. You are, at least on paper, a terrible person.
Now, once again, if you haven't seen this video, you might think, "Well, the game was a sell out and it was loud, so maybe the couple didn't realize there was a kid next to them that wanted the ball and was, in fact, crying over it." Nope, that doesn't work either because it's not as if the couple caught the ball, admired it and then tucked it away safely in a handbag or backpack. No, this couple proudly posed for pictures with the ball. At one point, in the process of posing for a picture with the ball, the crying child meekly reaches up for the ball in a final attempt to right the wrong. He's unsuccessful and the couple goes back to obliviously posing for pictures with the ball.
Listen, I know the waters of "is it okay to use a viral video to shame someone publicly for rude, obnoxious behavior?" are murky. And, as I said before, perhaps there's some hilarious explanation for the couple's behavior. But, based on the video, this is a case where the Internet has done an efficient and appropriate job of shaming people who are oblivious to those around them.
This video is sweet revenge for everyone who has been stuck in the 15 items or less line behind someone with a cart full of groceries or anyone who has watched as an able-bodied person inconsiderately parks in a handicapped spot. Sometimes it feels like the fabric of social courtesy is unraveling with each passing day. A viral video like this mends and patches those tears. And, if nothing else, it serves as a not-so-gentle reminder that you give foul balls to kids. No exceptions.

The Moon has the fastest orbit, and as it cycles around the Earth, it makes aspects to other planets, and moves through all 12 Zodiac signs. It makes contact with all the wanderers (planets), in what are called aspects. These are the angles formed by the relationship, known as squares, oppositions, trines, sextiles and conjunctions.
When the Moon is Void-of-Course, often written as VOC or v/c on your calendar, it's left the last aspect it'll make before going into the next Zodiac sign. The echo of that last planetary transit can color the emotional atmosphere, since the Moon is like our mood lighting.Lost in Space
The Void Moon is very subtle, but those entrained to the Moon's cycles could feel it strongly. It happens about 13 times per month, and can be a few minutes or at its longest, a few hours.
Some feel disconnected, spacey, without traction, at the Void Moon. You might feel less grounded in general, making it hard to come to be decisive, or stick to your "to-do list." It might be wiser to let go of the pressure, and come back to your project when you're more clear.
It's a fleeting phenomenon, but if the floaty feeling takes hold, check your day planner -- is it a v/c Moon? This period favors right brain activities, relaxing, daydreaming, gentle tasks around the house or inviting the muse.

I'm considering picking up either the 6D or 5D Mk II, which camera would you expect to be better?
You cannot pick up the 6d, it doesn't exist yet. And just that Canon states "December" doesn't mean anything knowing their release schedule problems, the "newly developed sensor" might very well produce a delay.
I'd wait for real life ISO performance and comparison of the AF systems, otherwise the two cameras appear quite comparable. No mention of AFMA on 6D, which may be an issue on FF sensors
6d has afma (and silent shutter, gps, wifi over the 5d2).
Well it is now confirmed that the 6D has 11 point AF with only one cross type point.
Actually Canon specs implies that the 6d has *no* cross sensor at all if you're using a f2.8 lens - if this is correct it would be arrogant beyond belief and a measure to protect the "pro" 5d3 at all costs.

How much of a wonderful time we had at your condo over Christmas - New Year. We had a fantastic time. Not only was the condo in an exceptional location but we loved Heavenly itself and will definitely be looking to return in the next couple of years ! Harrison Family, UK Dec 2013
We really enjoyed our trip. Thank you for renting us your condo, for the information on the discount lift tickets. Its proximity to the mountain was fantastic. The condo was very clean and comfortable. It was nice to be so close the the hot tub. We couldn't have asked for better conditions. You are super easy to work with and we would certainly recommend you to others. Sincerely, Sudduth and Wilcox Family. March 2010
Your condo has a nice decor. The location is wonderful. I loved the warm bed-very nice in cold days! Happy skiing! Monica Q. CA Dec 2009
Everything was perfect for us at Tahoe. We thought the location was the very best... our daughter was able to jog around the area just about every day. We spent a lot of time hiking, swimming in the Lake. Thanks again. Joyce and Robert Canning, 2009
We had a wonderful time at Tahoe even though we were snowed in at times. Great snowboarding, and a great condo to come home to. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your condo for the last few days. It was everything as advertised. We will definitely make another trip sometime in the future. All the best, Phil Poh. 2007
We had a wonderful vacation and thoroughly enjoyed your condo! Every room was clean and neat and beautifully appointed with all of the comforts of home. We especially enjoyed the kitchen and the bar area. The condo was such a short distance from the tram too! Best of all was the close proximity to the hot tub! We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a long day of skiing. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely condo Laura Coletrane, Virginia. March 2006
The condo was great and the location superb. It really was nice to be that close to the lifts! We'll definitely recommend the condo to friends and will stay again when we're in Tahoe. Tim Vest , Cornelius, NC Feb 2006

Law Firms Still Victimized in Fake-Check Web Scams; Trial Looms for Nigerian Accused in $32M Swindle
Posted Aug 7, 2012 12:51 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Despite widespread publicity about law firms targeted in Internet and email scams that have siphoned five- and six-figure sums out of their bank accounts, some are still falling victim to the schemes.
The problem is, legitimate clients do business in much the same way as the scammers, often contacting counsel via the Internet or by email, the Wall Street Journal (sub. req.) notes.
A significant distinction, however, is that a cashier's check sent by a fake client as a retainer or provided by an opposing party in a settlement paid to a scammer will be counterfeit. It can seemingly clear in a law firm's trust account only to result in a huge deficiency when the fraud comes to light, after the law firm has paid the "client" his or her share of the settlement and/or refunded unearned fees. An earlier ABAJournal.com post provides more details of the process.
In the first case of its kind, a Nigerian man accused of swindling firms of some $32 million is facing trial later this year in federal district court in Pennsylvania.
But despite the indictment of Emmanuel Ekhator and others in a scheme that authorities say victimized 80 attorneys in four states, law firms are still being swindled, a prosecutor tells the Wall Street Journal Law Blog.
"We have this wide-ranging scam that continues even though we have made these arrests," says Christy H. Fawcett, an assistant U.S. Attorney in Harrisburg. "We continue to have victims, both here and in Canada."

Providing you with the best the internet as to offer on Cal women's basketball, because God knows you need something to do between now and 8:30.
Can the Bears take another unprecedented step? LSU stands in the way between Cal and the Elite Eight.
Cal Women's Basketball vs. UCLA Preview + Gamethread - Can the Bears hold onto 2nd place in the Pac-12?
Sunday's contest kicked off a stretch of three games in four days for LSU athletic teams against the Crimson Tide. The two teams clash in the BCS National Championship Game on Monday in New Orleans, while the LSU men's basketball team travels to Tuscaloosa for an SEC game on Wednesday. Head coach Nikki Caldwell talked about how she has used the football team's success as an example for her team. "We talk about the difference between being hungry and starving, and I know Coach Miles' team is starving to get on that field and win a championship," said Caldwell. "They all are in sync and they have that togetherness that you need even when adversity hits. You never see LSU football team waver. We pay close attention to some of the things that they have been able to do this whole season."From Women's Basketball Wins Ninth-Straight, 84-40
Bruins Nation gets the work week started with a look back at how the Bruins' various non-revenue sports did over the past week.
This time they fell to West Virginia at the Holiday Inn Thanksgiving Basketball Classic in Northridge. Bruins have now dropped to 2-2. We are going to keep a very close eye on the record of this program as letting Nikki Caldwell go was an epic fail for UCLA. GO BRUINS.
Bruins Nation posts the mid-week edition of its bi-weekly Bruin Bites round-up of news from around the UCLA-iverse.
More data on Dan Guerrero's incompetent leadership of the dysfunctional UCLA athletics department.
From the article: Caldwell said her assistants at UCLA -- Stacie Terry, Tony Perotti and Tasha Butts -- would also be joining her in Baton Rouge. That means UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero has to replace an entire staff. I'd say this could affect the continuity of the team and what CNC built here at UCLA.
During Dan Guerrero's tenure as A.D. at UCLA, we have seen a sobering number of missteps and failures from our athletic department. Is Dan the man to fix this?

Gathje earns American Degree
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
Hits: 140
By Julie Bulau, Staff writer
Two EV-W students recently attended the 84th National FFA convention in Indianapolis, Ind., Tuesday-Saturday, Oct. 23-27.
FFA president Anne Gathje and her younger brother James traveled to Indianapolis along with advisor Tracy Huhn. While there, the three participated in various sessions on leadership and FFA workshops. They also attended a career fair and Agriculture Expo, toured the Indianapolis Speedway, and were in the stands for the World's Toughest Rodeo.
The biggest thrill for the two siblings, however, was seeing their older brother Joe Gathje, a sophomore at South Dakota State University and 2011 graduate of EV-W, receive his American FFA Degree on Saturday, Oct. 27.
Joe was one of 77 FFA members from Minnesota, and 3,500 in the nation to receive the award this year. This represents fewer than
1 percent of all FFA members earn this degree.
"We believe that the last EV-W American Degree recipients were John Schmitz, a 1984 EV-W graduate and 1983 graduate Randy Lipinski," EV-W FFA advisor Tracy Huhn said. "This is a big deal."

Okay I probably should start with the complaints, but they are very few. Room service food was WACK! My husband had a grill cheese which was two slices of non melted cheese on regular white bread lol. I had a blt that had a small bug in it. YUMMY! Not!
Okay so besides that, we had 8 days of fun. I have been on a cruise before but my husband has not. He loved it more than me. Food lines can be a bit long but I felt like that moved pretty steady. Explore the whole ship, we thought we had it covered and realized how much we were missing. They have movies on the big screen which are great, grab some popcorn or a pizza or some ice cream and you are good to go.
GO TO THE DINING HALL FOR DINNER! My husband and I ate breakfast and lunch for the buffets but always did the dining. The food is a better quality and the service is wonderful. I felt like a rich woman! The waiters left such an impression that my husband and I are still talking about them.The pools are crowded, be prepared for that.
Our vaca was suppose to go to the Bahamas, Turks, and half moon but there was a hurricane so we got detoured to Puerto Rico, Turks and St Thomas. PR, was a dump in my opinion and we got ripped off because we didn't know the language and couldn't communicate well. St Thomas was VERY safe and most beautiful island ever. Turks was as well.
The boat was great, room was great! We were in what I call the poor people's level. THE BOTTOM. You feel the waves less down there, it was easier to get off the ship and on.

text: Hair How to Copy Slick Updos From London Fashion Week Copy the Slick Updos Straight From LFW's Catwalks by BellaSugarUK 19/9/12 0 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 Plenty of hairstylists swept hair up and away at London Fashion Week. Wella Professionals global creative director, Eugene Souleiman presented a pared-down look with strong parts at Acne, while the style at Mary Katrantzou was all about slick aerodynamic extension. Take a look here at how to achieve the styles yourself! Acne "Handsome Women" What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Wella Professionals Global Creative Director Care and Styling, Eugene Souleiman explained: "It's a very pared-down, very concise look but the minimal look doesn't have to be boring. I've created a look which is sensual but at the same time handsome." Eugene added: "I wanted the hair look to have a kind of sculpted quality to balance the eclectic clothing collection with touches of Victoriana, equestrian, punk and bondage. When creating a minimal look it has to have attitude otherwise it ends up looking natural, and that wasn't the way I wanted to go." 1 / 6 Unique Ponytails What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The hair look was based around a ponytail but the focus was on the parting which was adapted to suit the individuality of each model. The ponytail was created in three sections to give greater focus to the back of the head and add tension then the look was finished with a gel stripe to the front of the head so the light would hit the hair and create an almost architectural feel. 2 / 6 Get the Look What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Start with clean freshly washed and conditioned hair, using Wella Professionals Enrich Shampoo and Conditioner, to ensure hair is in perfect condition. Blow dry flat using System Professional Hydrate Finish to create a smooth sleek finish. Straighten hair to ensure perfectly smooth hair then make a deep side, centre or diagonal parting. Pull back the right side of the hair taut, brushing smooth with Wella Professionals Super Set Finishing Spray to create a perfectly smooth look and tie into the pony tail. Repeat with the left side. Taking a tinting brush, paint on a stripe of Wella Professionals Sculpt Force Flubber Gel down one side of the hair line to the top of the ear. Using a diffuser, dry the gel strip to 'set it'. Finally spray a light mist of Wella Professionals Shimmer Delight Shine Spray to create a perfectly sleek look. 3 / 6 Mary Katrantzou 'Graphic Couture' What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Eugene Souleiman explains: "The Mary Katrantzou collection was slick, graphic and very conceptual and I wanted to create an elegant, almost couture-like style to bring a sense of sharpness into the look." The finished hair look was aerodynamic and gave the head an extended, elongated shape reminiscent of Queen Nefertiti, accentuating the neck. Eugene added: "There is a tension in the hairstyle, lifting the face and giving the girls beautiful bone structure, adding a richness and refinement to the look." 4 / 6 The Colour What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Wella Professionals Global Creative Director for Color, Josh Wood used Wella Professionals Color to create what he has termed the "Power Blonde." Josh said: "The hair is quite minimal and we needed a pure color to keep the idea of a very small head. There was an interesting juxtaposition between the beautiful print and volume of the collection, and the tight heads and neutral hair colors." Source: Getty 6 / 6 Get the Look What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Start with clean freshly washed and conditioned hair, using Wella Professionals Brilliance Shampoo and Conditioner, to ensure hair is in perfect condition. Spray Wella Professionals Create Character Texturizing Spray into the roots of the hair and blow dry with a soft bristled brush, pulling the hair back and away from the face. Section off the back of the head from ear to ear across the center of the crown and clip the front hair out of the way. Tie the section at the back of the head into a ponytail and backcomb small sections of the ponytail to create volume. Then roll into a bun and pin in place on the head. Section the remaining hair into three: two side panels and one in the centre. Take one side section and make it as sleek and tight as possible. Spray Wella Professionals Shimmer Delight Shine Spray to give sheen and to help the brush glide through the hair. Spray the hair with Wella Professionals Dynamic Fix Finishing Spray close to the roots so that the hair is wet and create tension in the hair by brushing and pulling the hair back at the same time. Repeat on the other side section. Tie them into place around the bun. Take the top section and working from the crown towards the front of the head, use the same technique alternating Shimmer Delight with Dynamic Fix Finishing Spray. 6 / 6 0 0 0 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More 2013 Spring London Fashion WeekLondon Fashion WeekWellaFashion WeekHair How ToHow ToBellaHair hair 7 Brilliant Updos to Keep Your Neck Sweat-Free in the Heat 1 day ago Miranda Lambert Joins the Blond Bob Brigade 2 days ago Beyoncé's On the Run Tour Hair Flips Are Flawless (of Course) 2 days ago 20 Fab New Celebrity Fringes You'll Want to Copy This Autumn 3 days ago 12 Stars Who Will Convince You to Wear Your Hair Naturally Curly 5 days ago 22 Lazy-Girl Plaits For Summer 6 days ago

Here's a key matchup to watch in Sunday's Vikings-Panthers game.
Vikings secondary vs. Panthers WR Steve Smith
Two weeks in a row, the Vikings have blown deep coverages that have resulted in touchdowns: a 48-yarder against Devin Hester and the Bears two weeks ago and a 79-yarder to Greg Jennings on Sunday. Safety Husain Abdullah was directly involved in both plays.
Just as the Vikings' secondary is playing its worst football of the season, they get to see the NFL's leading receiver in Carolina's Steve Smith.
In all but one game (and that one game was played in a monsoon against Jacksonville), Smith and rookie sensation Cam Newton have hooked up for at least one pass of 20-plus yards. In four games, they have hooked up for plays of at least 50 yards. For the season, Smith is averaging 21 yards-per-catch.
The Panthers' passing game has been predicated on the big play. Given the Vikings' struggles in that area of late, look for the Panthers to try to attack downfield.
Being a team that plays primarily cover-2, that shouldn't be happening to the Vikings, but breakdowns in positioning have led to the big plays. Last Sunday, Abdullah bit on a short route despite his deep responsibilities, allowing Jennings to be left completely wide open of an easy touchdown.
The Vikings have to do a better job of maintaining zone responsibilities and keeping things in front. Otherwise, Smith and Newton will continue to create the big plays they have consistently made this season.

Bruce Weaver was born in 1951 and is a pipe maker living in Brentwood, Tennessee, which is located just outside of Nashville. He first began making pipes in 2006 after being a collector of Dunhills for most of his adult life, because he got the itch to make something for himself. His mom was an artist and Bruce wanted to see if he had any artistic ability, or was simply a craftsman; as it turns out, he is both. Taking some time to learn some about pipemaking from Lee Von Erck, Bruce began making pipes loosely based on the English classics with preform stems and styling similar to Lee. Later, in 2009, he started learning about making handmade pipes from Todd Johnson who moved to Tennessee. From Todd, Bruce learned how to make handcut stems and use Delrin tenons, as well as shaping a pipe on a sanding disk.
His shaping blossomed and he has since been known as an affable guy who makes pipes that are aggressively blasted to show very intricate growth rings. Indeed, Bruce fiddled with blasting techniques before finding one that was different from everyone else. Though very time-consuming, they are easily recognizable. All of his pipes feature handcut stems from vulcanite rods, or bakelite, and all feature Delrin tenons. Some of his accents can include ivory, bamboo, boxwood, and other hardwoods.

CATEGORIES Foreign Language, Polls, Movies, CinematicalAccording to a poll conducted by Pearl and Dean of UK movie audiences, Pan's Labyrinth, from Spain and Mexico, has officially become the nation's favorite foreign film. It and the #2 choice, Amelie (France) are currently the two all-time imported box office champs in the country's history. The rest of the list leaned drastically toward current films, award-winners and money-makers: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (China) and Spirited Away (Japan) (tied for third), City of God (Brazil), Cinema Paradiso (Italy), The Lives of Others (Germany), Life Is Beautiful (Italy), The Motorcycle Diaries (Mexico/Argentina) and Cache (a.k.a. Hidden) (France/Austria). (No Seven Samurai?)
Kathryn Jacob of Pearl and Dean saw good news in the poll: "Foreign films are now seven times more likely to be British box-office hits than they were a decade ago. British film audiences are becoming increasingly sophisticated and are no longer letting subtitles be a barrier to their enjoyment of a great film. Pan's Labyrinth is a beautiful example of a film that would have struggled to get screened in a multiplex 10 years ago, but which has truly captured the imagination of British cinema audiences today."

I have the product up and running and have no problem hooking it up. It works great. Thank you ever so much. at least I found a DVD/VCR player that went with my Tv. Thank you. The price was right and so were the shipping charges,
Product arrived in a very short time and was in perfect condition. The instructions for connecting were fine and the unit was set up quickly. In use since it operates easily and well playing both VCR's and DVD's. Given the price and performance this item seems to have been an excellent buy. It is particularly useful since we have many VCR tapes and didn't want to discard them. It, of course , plays DVD's very well.
Bought this to replace one of another make that failed. Easy to hookup and even with the most basic hookup the picture and sound were excellent. The remote does everything but put the disc in for you, very intuitive and easy. Recommended, good value.
I've had my Toshiba for years and it's a great dual source player. I decided to buy this as a gift and the recipients love it. Anyone who has both a VHS and DVD collection needs a machine like this and Toshiba's is tops in my book!
Overstock was wonderful with taking back the DVD/VCR & returning our money. This DVD/VCR Does not have a tuner so you cannot tape shows from the TV. I called Toshiba for help & was told that they no longer answer any questions about anything but computers. We thought Toshiba was a good company to purchase but we've changed our mind. No more Toshiba.
We wanted a DVD/VCR combo, and couldn't find one retail. I looked at different sites online & had heard good things about Overstock.com and decided to look there. I'm glad I did. Got just what we was looking for at a better price than we expected and got good quality merchandise. Thanks Overstock. com. We will be doing future business with you.
Didn't want to throw away all of our great VHS kids movies. This came in perfect, to play the old and the new DVD's. We use this in our gameroom for our grandkids. It is perfect and easy to operate! A pretty good deal as well.
I would buy this product only if using as an extra system as it does seem to be rather cheaply made it does not have hdmi/usb port capacity it's just a basic product for component/av plug in
Getting the cables configured correctly for the set up was extremely challenging and frustrating for me. It took almost 4 hours and an internet search to figure out what should be plugged in where since my TV inputs and outputs did not match the diagrams in the instruction book. The instructions that came with the product are almost totally useless and very confusing. I even have a new HD, flat screen TV made by Toshiba and the instructions still didn't make sense. However, the DVD/VCR player works like a charm now that it's connected correctly and it gives me a very good HD picture for playing movies. I don't play video games, so I have no feed back for that use. Please note -- you cannot use this machine to record shows off your TV unless you purchase a separate receiver or cable box. This is for play-back of movies and VHS tapes only.
For a basic DVD/VHS non recording unit, I find that it fits the bill okay. This does have the "upconvert" DVD function when hooked up with an HDMI cable, but I can't see the difference. HDMI cable for the dvd player but had to hook up 3 RCA cables for the VHS? (2 audio and 1 video) so have to set my TV on different inputs depending which one I'm watching. Both should've been set to run through the one HDMI cable.

A North Carolina General Assembly committee passed new rules governing public access to the Legislature on Thursday; rules that would have a direct impact on the Moral Monday protests.
The protests brought thousands of people to the legislative sessions in 2013 who were opposed to the Republican agenda. But the demonstrations frustrated legislative leaders as hundreds of people jammed the legislative complex.
The new rules, which were changes to existing rules, were passed Thursday by the Legislative Services Commission. The committee had not met since 1999, and the rules had not been altered since 1987.
The committee includes eight Republicans and two Democrats, and the new rules passed by a voice vote.
"It's not directed specifically at the protesters," said committee chair Tim Moore, a Republican. "These rules were last updated in 1987. They really needed to be addressed."
But Rep. Larry Hall, A Democrat and the House minority leader, said, "This is not regarding safety. This is limiting people's ability to have their voices heard."
The new rules do not allow groups to "disturb, or create an imminent disturbance," at the General Assembly.
They state that visitors may be asked to leave the Legislative Building if they are found to be disturbing "the General Assembly, one of its houses, or its committees, members, or staff in the performance of their duties."
Behaviors that could violate the rules "may include singing, clapping, shouting, playing instruments or using sound amplification equipment."
The rules also place limits on gathering at the General Assembly, especially in front of the main South entrance on Jones Street.
Groups that expect to draw between 25 and 200 people can ask to reserve space at the South entrance. But, the rules now state, "This location may not be reserved for coordinated activities the person or group reasonably expects will involve 200 or more participants."
"It's really designed to have a chilling effect on those who might participate in Moral Monday demonstrations," said Sen. Floyd McKissick, a Democrat from Durham.
Moore, the commission chair, said the rules would not impact Halifax Mall, which is where many Moral Monday demonstrations were held.
Non-violent protests outside the Legislature's chambers last year led to more than 900 arrests during more than a dozen demonstrations organizers dubbed "Moral Mondays." The Rev. William Barber, the head of the NAACP in North Carolina, said Wednesday that the protests will resume next week.
Barber said the protests will replicate last year's and arrests will be up to the Legislature's police.
In a statement Thursday afternoon, Barber said,"Speaker Thom Tillis and the extremists he leads are attempting to undermine, stifle and stop the voice of the people."
Barber said that courts would uphold the North Carolina Constitution, which states, "The people have a right to assemble together to consult for their common good, to instruct their representatives, and to apply to the General Assembly for redress of grievances."
Barber said the new rules violate the First Amendment rights to free speech and are "highly offensive and prejudicial to African Americans, minorities, women, the poor, LGBT people and faith communities who have been historically criticized for being abnormal to the so-called mainstream of our country whenever they have chosen to protest."
Barber was not among the ministers who visited with Gov. Pat McCrory Thursday. A McCrory spokesman said Barber was invited but declined to attend, and the governor's office released a guest list with Barber's name on it.
"On May 8th, the governor's chief of staff, Thomas Stith, spoke directly with Rev. Barber and invited him to attend today's lunch meeting with clergy," spokesman Josh Ellis said in a statement. "The governor arranged this meeting to continue reaching out to various individual groups including members of the business, clergy and education community. Rev. Barber said that he couldn't come because of a conflict in his schedule. We're unclear why he's trying to mischaracterize his absence."
But the NAACP released a statement saying McCrory and his staff were spreading "false information."
Barber said he got a call last week from the Governor's office about a possible luncheon.
"I said it might be possible if I could bring other clergy leaders from the Forward Together Movement with me," Barber said in a statement. "I was told the governor decided his own list. I was also told the luncheon may or may not occur. I have not heard anything from his office since.
"I now learn a luncheon apparently took place and that the Governor's office has apparently said I declined his invitation."
Between April and July 2013, State Capitol Police spent more than $22,000 covering the protests. That is in addition to more than $43,000 by the Wake County Sheriff's Office and more than $69,000 by the Raleigh Police.
Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue said the department's expenditures included officers working in three capacities: regular, on-duty status; overtime status; and compensatory time status.
