The game is played with one standard deck of cards. The game begins by the player putting in a wager called an ante. The player plays alone against the computer and thus, there are no other players as in traditional poker.
A player decides for the cards to be dealt and they are given 5 cards by the dealer. The cards are dealt face up and there are no replacing cards available. The player must now decide if they will stay or fold. If the player folds, they will lose their wager and the dealer will win.
If the player decides to stay in the game, then the dealer is dealt five cards.
If the dealer does not have an Ace/ King combination or higher he dealer loses and the player wins 1:1. If the dealer has an Ace/King combination but the player's hand is still higher, then the player wins. With a progressive jackpot option, the player sends a certain percentage goes to a progressive jackpot pool. If the player gets a flush or higher the player wins from the jackpot.
For details on how much the payout is from the Jackpot, one need to refer to the online casinos paytable.

Wow, what a bad night for my picks. What a great night of fights!
I don't expect to hear anymore doubters hating on Lyoto Machida. He put on the definition of a clinic on a very tough Thiago Silva. It was exciting, It was definitive. Lyoto is clearly the #1 contender at Light Heavyweight. Rashad Evans will be a tough tough fight for Machida.
Damn, GSP is the man! That was an incredible deconstruction of B.J. Penn. Brilliant strategy, flawless execution. Thiago Alves looked scared and rightfully so. He will be crushed by GSP.
Kenny Florian has to be smiling tonight. We've seen definitive proof that B.J. Penn is human. I expect him to punish Florian for this. At 155lbs, B.J. Penn is a force of nature.
Jon Jones is a rising star. He's got a great greco-roman background and all the athleticism in the world. I'd like to see him training with Cung Le so he can fully capitalize on his promise as an unconventional striker.
Damn, did Karo ever slip by the skin of his teeth. Our man needs to move down to lightweight. He's never going to beat GSP, but at 155lbs he is a threat to ANYONE.
Clay Guida has spoiled another fast-rising career. Well done Mr. Guida.

CATEGORIES MoviesHe plays a white supremacist on TV, but Walton Goggins has just been cast as a pro-abolition Democrat in Steven Spielberg's 'Lincoln.'
Goggins, who co-stars as colorful small-town criminal Boyd Crowder on 'Justified,' will play Ohio Congressman Wells A. Hutchins, a progressive Democrat who went against his party to side with Lincoln and support the Thirteenth Amendment.
The prestige pic will star Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln, Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln, and David Strathairn, as Secretary of State William Seward.
Spielberg will start shooting in Virginia in the fall, for a late 2012 release.
Goggins next appears in 'Cowboys & Aliens,' followed by Straw Dogs' in September.
Before 'Justified,' Goggins starred opposite Michael Chiklis on 'The Shield' as Vic Mackey's BFF turned bitter enemy, Shane Vendrell.

It really only takes one or two people to create an idea. In the case of helping Peñitas, it was one couple that got the ball rolling.
"We're chairpersons of the Toy Project," stated Gloria Smith, speaking for her husband, Richard. "The toys will be going to the Centro Cristiano Familiar Church. It's a church with two big colonias near them."
Richard and Gloria take the Valley home with them in their hearts. They remember what's needed down here and collect items all summer to bring back when they come "home" to the Valley.
"One day we had a whole bunch of stuff we'd brought down here – clothes, toys, shoes, pots and pans and were bringing them to a lady in Peñitas. We couldn't find her but we did find this church that was having a yard sale. When we stopped to ask for help, the pastor of the church said, 'I don't know if you're set on where you're going to bring this stuff, but we could really use it here because we are trying to help these two colonias,'" Gloria said.
Unloading their supplies was only the first act they would do to help Pastores Maricela and Rafael Hernandez as they worked to help the colonias. Getting their park involved was another way they could do good things for Centro Cristiano Familiar Church.
For Christmas they held a toy drive collecting all manner of toys. But then Georgina Mettler, a self-proclaimed "instigator of things," went to the church with the Smiths during a passing of the gifts.
"They start with the kids in the front and work their way to the back. All the kids come out of the toy room with toys, dolls or something else. I watched these two little girls with their big brown eyes wide open, chin on their hands, long, brown curly hair. When it came their turn they went up and got two little sacks. I didn't see any dolls at all!" she said, reliving the moment.
Coming back to the park she was telling the story to another park resident, Thora Rhoades, and her sadness at the disappointment of the two little girls shone through her words. It just so happened that Thora, unbeknownst to Georgina, had taught doll making for years.
"Georgina," Thora said vehemently. "No little girl should ever be without a doll! We've got to fix this!"
Gathering a team with Georgina, Thora, Carolyn Wentzloff who sewed the clothes, and Shirley Borgerson, they began making their dolls. With their Bible study group helping to assemble the dolls, they brought their new creations to life.
Along with the toys, there were be 30 dolls to bring to the church this Christmastime.
For another group, it was all about food.
Norma Westhuis, a reader for the children at Flores Elementary School, has been heading up the food for the school for the last six years, but the drive had been going on before she came along. This year they'll have 25 boxes that will go to 25 families.
None of the people of the park seem to want to claim fame for their work.
"It's the people here in the park that are contributing," Norma said, humbly. These are the words heard across the Valley. The gift this season is the compassion our Winter Texans have for those in need in the Valley. Thank you to all.

News: Chris Brown's Camp Responds To $16 Million NYC Club Lawsuit
Friday, Aug 17, 2012 10:30AM
R&B singer Chris Brown is reportedly not losing any sleep despite getting sued, alongside alleged music rival Drake, for $16 million over their role in last June's publicized New York City nightclub brawl.
According to reports, Chris Breezy's legal team is unfazed by the headline-making suit.
Chris Brown is calling B.S. on the people suing him for allegedly instigating the bottle-throwing bloodfest at W.i.P. nightclub in NYC. TMZ spoke with a rep for Brown ... who spoke with Mark Geragos (Chris Brown's lawyer) ... who says, "It's a frivolous lawsuit." Side note -- we've spoken with people directly involved with the situation who tell us neither Drake nor Chris laid a hand on each other during the melee. (TMZ)
Reports of the hefty lawsuit hit the Internet earlier this week.
Greenhouse, on Vandam Street, shares space, owners and a liquor license with W.i.P. -- the bar where the fight occurred June 14. Owners of the Greenhouse trademark claim in court papers that the melee, which left at least seven people injured -- including hoops star Tony Parker -- cost them a $4 million licensing deal that they'd recently brokered. Publicists for Drake and Brown have tried to distance the men from the fight over their former flame, Rihanna. But the lawsuit, brought by Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., which owns the Greenhouse name, alleges they were directly involved. (New York Daily News)
The suit specifically cites Drizzy and Brown for not considering their celebrity status amongst clubgoers.
The lawsuit said Brown and Drake "should have seen that their notoriety and celebrity would ensure that their acts had far-reaching and devastating effects." The Greenhouse name would not have been destroyed if they hadn't fought, the lawsuit said. (ABC News)
Footage from the crime scene circulated online in June.
Drake is denying rumors that he administered a viciously epic fade to Chris Brown and his cohorts. Reps for the Young Money rapper sent a statement to Hip-Hop Wired stating that the allegations regarding his involvement are false. Here's a recent unofficial video we just got that is allegedly during the time the altercation was going on! You can hear the crowd reacting to the fight (in the far right) but it's kinda hard to tell if it's Drake and Chris Brown's camp. (The Box Houston)

The Alma Police Department is searching for a suspect who robbed a
Family Dollar on Aug. 25.
Police say just minutes before closing time at 9 p.m., a man armed
with a silver semi-auto pistol went inside the store located at 902 S. Pierce
St. and demanded money from a cashier. After the cashier told the suspect she did
not have a key to open the register, the man forced the cashier to the store
office and took an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect then left the
office and pointed his gun toward another cashier to open the store safe. Once the
cashier told the robber that he didn't have access to the safe, the suspect
grabbed a Family Dollar money bag from near the cash register and fled.
According to the Alma Police Department, the suspect is described
as a black male about 6'01- 6'03 and weighs between 185-210 pounds. The suspect
also wore all black, including a black t-shirt type of mask over his face.
The police are asking for anyone who shopped at the Family Dollar
between 8:30 p.m. - 9 p.m. on Aug. 25 to contact Alma Police Department at 912.632.8751.

Akane HinoTalk0
this wiki
Akane Hino is one of the main heroine in Smile Pretty Cure!. An unusually passionate girl, she is able to get into any mood easily, and loves to make others laugh. Her family runs an okonomiyaki restaurant, and she often helps out there. In school, she is part of the volleyball team. She was born in Osaka and thus speaks in the Kansai dialect, like Tarte from Fresh Pretty Cure!.
Her alter ego is Cure Sunny. She controls the element of Fire.
Akane has short red hair worn in a small ponytail with long bangs on both sides of her face, held with 2 yellow hairpins on the right side. Her eyes are a matching shade of red as well. Her casual outfit consists of a loose long-sleeved orange dress-top with crisscrossing yellow stripes, red pockets and a red ribbon at the back, blue skinny jeans and red flats. her summer outfit consists of a short-sleeved wide-necked shirt under a light orange tank top, khaki shorts, white stockings and beige open toed boots. She wears her school uniform with a red tie, and a orange sweater tied around her waist.
Cure Sunny has bright orange hair, the upper part of which is worn in a single bun on top of her head with a few loose strands, while the rest is around chin-length and is let down loose. Her eyes also become a bright orange. Her tiara has one angel wing attached, and she wears it on the right side of her head. Like March, she wears her earrings on the helix of her ears. Her outfit is mainly light orange, with bright orange lining and white highlights. Her sleeves are single-layered, and the bow at her chest is small with a large frilly piece behind it. The back of her top extends out in a single pastel orange frilly piece. Her arm protectors reach past her elbows, and are decorated with orange ribbons at the top and light orange folds at the wrist. Her boots are long as well, reaching past her knees with orange ribbons at the top.
In Tiara mode, her white tiara is replaced by a golden crown worn in the center of her head. The centerpiece of her tiara is a red circle, and the angel wing at the side of her tiara turns golden as well. Her white angel wing earrings are replaced by gold ribbon-shaped earrings with orange hearts in the center, and she now wears them on her earlobes.
Being born and raised in Osaka, Akane speaks in the Kansai dialect, and refers to herself as "uchi" instead of the usual "watashi". Her catchphrase is "aka~n", the Kansai equivalent of "dame da" or "This won't do". She is also fond of saying "uchi no deban ya!" or "It's my turn now!". She possesses a boyish personality, often reflected in the way she stands or sits. However, she seems to love cute things, and has an especially soft spot for gorillas.
Akane is a passionate girl who loves making others laugh. The first impression she gives is that of the class jokester, always full of puns and jokes to make her classmates laugh. As such, she appears to be generally popular and well-liked. Her friends see her as an interesting girl who always manages to make them laugh. She has a habit of speaking her mind, which can get a little out of hand sometimes, such as when she introduced Nao, Reika and Yayoi to Miyuki as being a "female gang leader", "Miss Popular" and "crybaby" respectively, causing visible discomfort to the three. Yayoi, with her crybaby personality and fascination with superheroes, is often the target of Akane's jokes. However, there does not seem to be any ill meaning behind the teasing, and the other girls seldom take offence.
Despite all the teasing, Akane is extremely loyal to her friends. She also has a tendency to act before she thinks. For example, when she witnessed Cure Happy being defeated by an Akanbe, she remembered how Miyuki had helped her out, and immediately went to help Happy even though she had no chance of winning against the Akanbe. Her strong wish to help her friend earned her the Smile Pact and allowed her to transform into Cure Sunny.
With regards to being Pretty Cure, Akane was initially against the idea, turning down Miyuki's bold invitation. When she did become a Cure, she seems quite cool about the whole idea, ready to do her best in battle, though not overwhelmingly enthusiastic like Miyuki or Yayoi. Similar to Nao, she does not understand why Miyuki and Yayoi are so hyped up about being "superheroes", and gave Miyuki a cool reception when she insisted on the group coming up with a signature phrase. Ironically, though she loves to make puns, she was initially embarrassed by the ones made in her own Cure introductory speech.
In terms of sports, Akane is excellent at volleyball, easily beating her classmates in a friendly match. She aims to become the ace attacker of the school volleyball team, and comes down hard on herself when she is unable to perform well. She is also an independent girl, as she told Miyuki that she does not normally allow others to help her out, but gave Miyuki a chance to help her with volleyball training due to her enthusiasm and willingness. She can also be extremely focused, as she turned down Miyuki's offer to become Pretty Cure (or "kiripura" as she mistakenly calls it) as she wanted to focus on her volleyball training.
Akane's family runs an okonomiyaki restaurant, and it is probable that Akane enjoys cooking.
Also in Episode 36 you can see the love side of her life.
- Sunny Fire - Cure Sunny charges up her Smile Pact with enough fighting spirit to make it glow and grants her power to perform the attack. When enough fighting spirit has been collected, the Smile Pact explodes in fire to form a fireball in the sky. Cure Sunny then does a run, jumps into the air, spins and blasts the fireball at the enemy in a volleyball strike.
- Sunny Fire Burning - Is the upgrade version of Sunny Fire.
- Fire Shoot - Her combination attack with Cure March used to fight together.
- The color of the circle depicted on the Japanese national flag is officially madder red ("akane"), and the translation of Japan's name "nippon" is incidentally "Land of the Rising Sun". Coincidentally, the shape of Sunny's Cure Decor is a circle.
- Cure Sunny is the first cure to have orange theme color. However, her transformation Cure Decor is red.
- Akane is the first Cure to come from Osaka and speak in the Kansai dialect. She is the second character overall to speak in Kansai dialect, after Tarte from Fresh Pretty Cure!.
- The air date of Episode 2, in which Akane becomes Cure Sunny for the first time, is coincidentally the birthdate of her seiyuu Tano Asami.
- Akane is scared of Wolfurun.
- Like Akane, Tano Asami is also a Kansai native, born in Hyogo Prefecture.
- Akane is the second Cure to be voiced by a Japanese pop idol, following Tsubomi (VA: Mizuki Nana) from Heartcatch Pretty Cure!.
- Tano Asami was the main vocalist of former vocal/dance group BOYSTYLE, whose work includes anime One Piece's past opening theme "Kokoro no Chizu".
- Cure Sunny is the second Cure to control fire, after Cure Rouge from Yes! Pretty Cure 5.
- Overall, Cure Sunny is the third pyrokinetic in the franchise after Moerumba and Cure Rouge.
- Cure Sunny, along with Cure March, are the only Cures to wear their earrings attached to the helix of the ear instead of at the earlobe.
- Cure Sunny is the first Cure to have her Cure hair styled into a bun.
- In Episode 11, Akane is shown to have a fear of heights.
- The Hino family's okonomiyaki restaurant is named after Akane.
- Akane shares her first name with Akane Fujita from Futari wa Pretty Cure and Max Heart, and like her, Akane Hino is skilled at cooking.
- Akane shares her name "Hino Akane" with the female heroine from anime Cannon God Exaxxion, as well as one of the idol girls from The iDOLM@STER's Cinderella Girls series. The characters from Cannon God and The iDOLM@STER have their first names written in kanji (茜), while Smile! Akane has her first name written in hiragana (あかね). However, all their surnames are written in exactly the same way (日野).
- Akane shares her family name with Rei Hino, aka Senshi of Fire Sailor Mars from the anime Sailor Moon.
- Akane shares many characteristics with Aiko Seno from anime Ojamajo Doremi:
- Aiko and Akane both came from Osaka.
- They both speak only in the Kansai dialect.
- They are both transfer students.
- They both make fun of the main protagonist Doremi and Miyuki on their first day.
- They are both magical girls.
- Most of the episodes that revolve around her have the word "Nekketsu" (lit: Hot Blooded)
- Cure Sunny's attack, "Sunny Fire Burning" is similar to Rouge Burning since they share burning together.
- During the Rainbow Burst, Cure Sunny is the only Smile! Cure who gets her hair longer.

TapOut XT Extreme Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Tapout XT Extreme is a fitness routine similar to the likes of P90X. The product does not require the same materials as P90X and claims to burn more than 1,200 per workout. Each of the workouts is inspired by actual MMA routines performed by big name athletes in the sport. Routines are based upon high intensity interval training, incorporating striking and kicking combinations.
The program was created by fitness expert Mike Karpenko, a MMA conditioning coach. The program includes 12 DVD's, a diet plan as well as four additional fitness routines. Dieters can expect to pay $120 for the set or break up payments over the course of three months.
List of Ingredients
- Extreme fitness routine.
Product Features
Tapout XT Extreme is a MMA-inspired fitness routine incorporating striking and kicking combined with interval training. The primary focus of the 12 routines is improving cardiovascular endurance, while increasing strength. Online testimonial show the results of the program. We did not fin scientific research associated with the routine, but we do know that interval training is proven to be more effective that traditional training.
The product is available on the official website for $120. This is the average price for this type of fitness product. We realized the average dieter will consider the price excessive. The company allows individuals to split the cost over the course of three months. The company also allows users to return the product after 90 days. In essence Tapout XT Extreme allows individuals to complete the program and return, no questions asked.
- The program incorporates interval training.
- Diet and supplementation are addressed.
- The dieter does not need to purchase any additional equipment.
- Workouts are time consuming.
- The results are not guaranteed.
- The product is expensive.
- The fitness routines are extreme.
- Claims are not based upon scientific research.
If Tapout XT Extreme can product the results of P90X, the product is a winner in our book. Several products on the market don't get the physiology of fitness correct. The products either focus on strength training or cardiovascular training. Several products even attempt to combine the two. The most effective products on the market combine the two, while adding in interval training. This type of training is proven to burn more calories than traditional fitness routines.
Although the price is comparable to similar products on the market, the price tag is higher than the average dieter may be willing to pay. Fortunately, the cost can be divided into three payments. We also like that the product addresses diet. This is an integral part of any fitness routine. The only thing we have concern with is the intensity needed for the program. Being extreme, the workout may not be suitable for all fitness types.

Derry News
---- — Trick-or-treat tonight
Derry and Londonderry families will be out and about tonight for trick-or-treat fun. Derry's hours are 6 to 7:30 p.m. In Londonderry, little ghouls and goblins can take to the streets from 5 to 8 p.m. Police in both town urge families and children to play it safe this Halloween night.
Mowed over
A man was spotted in Chester near the intersection of Routes 121 and 121A taking care of some much-needed lawn work at his home. His self-propelled mower seemed to have a mind of its own as it moved slowly across the lawn alone, while the man followed at a safe distance, picking up sticks along the way.
Losing their heads
A local salon is gearing up for not only big business, but also spooky Halloween fun. A large grouping of salon training heads was spotted at the Water's Edge Salon landscape, heads with full hair stuck on small posts in the ground, creating a rather ghoulish, but attractive scene.
An exterior sign invited people stop by for some hair-raising help.
The wave continues
The home of Robert Young on Chester Road is still sporting a life-sized silhouette of the man and his iconic "wave."
Young, who died in September 2012, was known for his almost daily waving to passing cars as he sat near his home and vast gardens. Young's silhouette is often dressed for the season and this week is wearing a spooky skull shirt just in time for Halloween.
Hair's to the Sox
Another local business was all about the Red Sox this week. Shellie's Butcher Shop on Crystal Avenue had a sign that honored the Sox and their facial hair as well.
"Blood, sweat and beards! Go Sox!" the sign read.

When Roy Hodgson moved from Liverpool to West Bromwich Albion, the likable, serene manager that we all knew from his time at Fulham was back. No longer under the pressure of a unrealistic fanbase, Roy Hodgson was able to relax. Instead of furiously face rubbing as he saw his mediocre Liverpool team lose 3-1 at Newcastle, he was able to smile about his new team's performance even as they dropped 2 points when losing a 2 goal advantage over Arsenal.↵
This year, however, Woy seems to be feeling more stress. On the back of 2 excellent performances, many expected WBA to sweep aside an underperforming Everton. So, facing a 1-0 home defeat and the loss of his captain, Chris Brunt, through injury, Roy Hodgson returned to doing strange maneuvers involving his head.
This time, though, he was banging his head against the advertising board--something that's not to be recommended if you don't want to start the new year with a headache. Or maybe Woy was just trying to get rid of last night's hangover. Here's the video of Hodgson taking out his frustrations on his head.↵

Another day and another great batch of news on Florida State sports, FSU's opponents, and the world of college sports in general. We're really trying to be your one-stop shop, and if you enjoy this feature please do let us know.
Leading off, we have an excellent profile of Chris Singleton by our very own hoops writer (and creator of RunTheFloor.com), Michael Rogner. This is a must read.
Faith's Chris Casher improves size, grades, leadership - al.com
"I was always kind of a big kid," he said. "But when I started going to college games and looking at players at my position and seeing how big they were and what they weighed, I was like, 'I need to get in the weight room.' Last year around this time, I was 218. Now I'm 240." Caldwell said the difference is evident on the field, as a bulkier Casher is stronger against the run. After recording 10½ sacks and 19 tackles for loss in his first year as a full-time defensive end last year, he's also got a better understanding of the position, which has allowed him to be more aggressive. "Probably about midway through the season last year, you could see the light bulb go on as far as learning how to play the position," Caldwell said. "Now he's a lot more aggressive. He understands the position now, and I really look for a big year from him this year." While he's been committed to Florida State since January, Casher said Alabama, Auburn, Georgia and other schools have continued to recruit him. Other than possibly attending a few games this fall, however, he said he doesn't plan to take visits this summer. He'll be busy taking online classes. As the work in the weight room and on the field has paid dividends, the work in the classroom is starting to do the same. "As of right now, he's on track to qualify, which is a huge step from where he was a couple years ago," said Caldwell, adding that the early commitment to Florida State may have helped. "He needed to get (recruiting) out of his head. By him committing, it's really made him focus."
Notes on FSU's Opponents
Pre-Snap Read: #94- Louisiana Monroe
NOTE: FSU plays this team, so read this!
In this corner, we find a program eyeing its finest season in a generation; we find a program long accustomed to being overlooked on a national scale, with no success in the F.B.S. upon which to hang its hat, with zero winning experience to call upon as it heads into 2011. So why the raised expectations? Try the 20 returning starters – the entire offense – and the sense that last year was only a warm-up, whether justified or not. Please remember: U.L.M. won five games last fall, one by a single point over Southeastern Louisiana, two more by a combined eight points over Florida Atlantic and Western Kentucky, one by 12 points at home against North Texas – so let's not start thinking this team is poised to take the leap, in my mind. I'm not ready to get that far behind the Warhawks, though in the hedging-my-bets category, it should be said that U.L.M. does have enough returning talent to move to the top of the line and take home the Sun Belt title. I don't see it, however. I don't even see U.L.M. topping last season's win total, in fact, thanks to issues along the offensive line and a defense that remains a question mark despite the return of eight starters. My worry with the offense is that the running game never takes off, leaving the attack too one-dimensional; even in the Sun Belt, it's very possible to become too unbalanced offensively. The concerns on defense revolve around a light line, one prone to being gashed on the ground, and a group of cornerbacks without optimal experience. Overall, however, this is a fine team, one firmly ahead of the bottom tier in the conference. But I have my concerns. Is U.L.M. ready to take the next step, or are the Warhawks still a year away?
Both FSU and Louisiana Monroe are on the rise.

We did all see, after all, a dramatic Year 1 turnaround for Jimbo Fisher at FSU. Can Edsall pull off a similarly pleasant surprise for his fans? We have nearly three months to find out.

This is just a great article on why players need to be paid a stipend of some sort.
Meme Watch: Here come the first-to-worst predictions for Auburn - Dr. Saturday - NCAAF Blog - Yahoo! Sports
Most importantly, the starting lineup was decimated to an unprecedented degree. With the early exits of Newton, Fairley and wide receiver Darvin Adams and the untimely arrest and dismissal of safety Mike McNeill, Auburn returns a grand total of six starters from the championship win over Oregon, fewer than any other defending BCS champion and fewer by far than any other FBS team in the nation this fall. Altogether, the Tigers will defend their championship minus their leading passer (who was also the leading rusher), two of their top four receivers, four starting offensive linemen, their top two pass rushers and six of their top seven tacklers. There's one returning starter on each line — guard Brandon Mosley on offense and tackle Nosa Eguae on defense — and with McNeil's arrest and cornerback Neiko Thorpe's subsequent move to safety, zero returning starters in the secondary at the same position they played last year. You don't need Steele's detailed "Experience Ratings" to guess the Tigers rank 120th out of 120 FBS teams by a wide margin.
Not that you should necessarily expect to see the Tigers sitting in the cellar in anyone else's predictions this summer, as long as Ole Miss around to keep the less bold members of the prognostoscenti from taking committing to such a steep plunge. But the prospect is one Auburn fans will have to face: For a team that had to stage four second-half comebacks and win three games on walk-off field goals by Wes Byrum (also graduated), the gap that typically follows a championship is a chasm. Based on what we know about the 2011 going in, it's going to take some crazy momentum to avoid a crash.
The Contenders: Alabama's BCS case comes with a dose of déja vu - Dr. Saturday - NCAAF Blog - Yahoo! Sports
Crystal ball says… Precedent notwithstanding, any team breaking in a brand new quarterback comes with a caveat emptor disclaimer as a matter of course, especially when the old one was accompanied on his way out by four first-round picks. But the quarterback is the only potential liability in otherwise proven lineup; even the kicker and punter are back. If there's any team in America that can go all the way with a risk-averse, "within-the-offense" type who does just enough to keep the defense and running game out of trouble, it's obviously Alabama. The Tide probably will find themselves in a few harrowing moments at the end of low-scoring slugfests, where the defense has to deliver a crucial stop or turnover, a la the 2009 team. But that goes for any serious contender, and none of the Crimson Tide's peers are as likely to face as few of those situations — or to be as equipped to come out of them unscathed — as the most complete top-to-bottom roster in the nation.

2011 Season Preview: Golden Boys And The UCLA Bruins - SBNation.com
Over his final three years, embattled coach Karl Dorrell put together teams that went to bowl games and played almost precisely at the level of the average Pac-10 team. For that, he was pilloried and run out of town, replaced by Neuheisel ... who has yet to produce a Pac-10 average team and has produced just one winning record in three years. He is the 1984 Rose Bowl champion, and that has surely given him a bit of leeway (it gave him leeway when he was hired, anyway), as has the fact that he inherited the perceived 'mess' that Dorrell left behind. After three years and multiple solid recruiting classes, however, it's pretty clear that Neuheisel needs to start producing, and fast.
This is bad timing, as the offense appears to still be potentially a year away from clicking, and the early schedule is absolutely brutal. But October 2, UCLA will have faced Houston, Oregon State and Stanford on the road, and Texas at home. Even if the passing game takes some steps forward, it might not be enough to prevent a slow start. If the wheels haven't come off after five games, however, a rally is possible. The Bruins could win each of their final four home games -- Washington State, California, Arizona State and Colorado -- and at the very least, bowl eligibility could be in the works.
Because of the potential momentum involved, anything between a 3-9 (if the wheels completely fall off) and 9-3 record is theoretically possible. The experience level is much higher than it was a year ago, recruiting has certainly been decent, and the Bruins' YPP margin suggests potential improvement, but the turnover margin is not guaranteed to improve, and ... there's just been so much turnover and uncertainty, especially on offense. It's hard to be too confident in Neuheisel going forward, and if I were a betting man, I'd say the Bruins are looking at five or six wins and a new coaching search this December.
Memories of a Football-Obsessed Childhood - Gobbler Country
My parents are bound to wind up on Hoarders, so of course they've kept every trinket I ever owned or book report I ever wrote. The result, as I found out when I went to help them move recently, was that there was a bunch of stuff laying around that I didn't want to be aired on A&E when their cameras finally got around to filming them digging themselves out of their piles of rubble.
While I was shoveling massive amounts of stuff into trash bags and secretly throwing them away when they weren't looking, I noticed that nearly everything I ever owned had something to do with sports, usually football. I figured I'd share some of the really worthless (and some of the not-so-worthless) stuff I found. Hope you find it as interesting as I did, even though you probably won't.
20 years. That's a long time.

Yep. After a bunch of quarters where consumers were spending money on small cheap computers, the people in ivory towers have discovered that the emperor has no clothes. M$ now operates in a niche of business and consumer notebooks/desktops which is not growing much. Hint: Without growth, M$'s business model falls down. The slaves are only happy to slave on if they get some crumbs. Without growth, M$ is the only one to get any crumbs and the slaves become resentful. Equate slaves with OEMs, ISVs, retailers, and consumers. Businesses are becoming disillusioned as more businesses, governments, educational institutions switch to FLOSS and GNU/Linux. Want IT for less in order to compete? Run away from M$. I suggest Debian GNU/Linux. It works for you and not for M$.

That wasn't your question. You asked: "Right, Mr. Pogson, do you have a mobile device powered by Debian GNU/Linux?"
He answered that troll. You are falling back on an old Microsoft troll tactic, attacking GNU/Linux in detail.
That video is just technical slice of time in the development of GNU/Linux on mobile devices. He showed LXDE on the mobile phone but he just as well could have used KDE. But why? It's a tiny device. It was just a demonstration that Linux can be run, as is, on small, mobile computers. Microsoft had to strip Windows down to its underwear (Window 8) to get it to fit on mobile and do anything worthwhile with it.
By the way troll, how soon are you going to self destruct in a storm of vile insults?
MK Really there is a lot of interesting things going on in the Linux world.
The idea that you dock you phone into TV or Large screen and work is happening.
There is a change under way to make interface libraries in C and python for everything in Linux to reduce command line usage.
There is a high possibly that a person does not have to choose android or Debian or Ubuntu particularly once the kernel merges.
We are also seeing Fedora talk about application collections to end dependency hell. 2012 has been busy for Linux 2013 looks to be even more dynamic.
Mr. Pogson, I've watched the video you posted in above, and honestly, either there is a misunderstanding, or you are out of your mind. Have you been suggesting ordinary consumers run command line tools and LXDE desktop on their smart phones? Even assuming you are an uber geek and die hard Linux advocate, still, you can't be serious.
Would you buy such a phone? Would you get one for your wife, who is, apparently, no stranger to Debian GNU Linux? In fact, can you please go and ask her to download and chroot into a Debian6GnuLinux image, then please, politely suggest, she should use command line tools and LXDE desktop, instead of whatever she's been using so far. I am genuinely interested it what your wife would have to say to that, please report back as accurately as possible.

I don't know is countries like Finland just exception because some 8% of Finns visiting my blog site are using Linux desktop(excluding Android smart phones). That has been the situation since late 2010. And my blog site is non-geek/non-computer. Hardly even 18% are using nowadays IE-browser. There are more than 25 000 clients at schools and universities using OpinSys Ubuntu and it's not the only Linux system for Finnish schools.
Those clicks from Sweden are 4-5% Linux. There is also remarkable many visitors from Estonia and Germany using Linux.
@Dougman You preach to a convert. Don't give me any more of anti-MS propaganda, it's become tiresome. What's the fun in bashing? Let's talk about the good stuff that our host has been recommending, Debian GNU/Linux. Surely, you have something positive to say, or should I conclude that a Debian GNU/Linux advocate can only rejoice in besmirching competing products?
Steven Kinski
20 percent? Seems about right. Why this is news only now has to do with the fact that not long ago we've been living in a Microsoft bubble. With the side effect of greatly distorting the big picture. There were always plenty of other operating systems next to Microsoft's offerings but as most of them did not exist in the same consumer market Microsoft once so utterly dominated, you could easily paint a picture where Microsoft's operating systems basically ruled the world. Even if that wasn't true. But Microsoft certainly (ab)used this public misinformation to the best of its abilities.
Still, it's no time to pat onself on the back, as even now it's not at all easily possible to buy a PC without Windows. Microsoft still has the consumer market by its throat, as OEMs are too afraid to seek out new opportunities, even though they have understood that Windows 8 won't save them.
They lost and now they act like they have nothing left to lose. They come here now and lead us on for a short while then self destruct in a stream of vile insults. I think they believe it's funny. Their sugar daddy is going down in flames. That's funny?

Robert, it sometimes makes one wonder why these type folks day in and day out must bad mouth software competing with Microsoft OS and applications, and denigrate those who promote other's software in forums and blogs throughout the Internet.
I think the various documents made available through the courts of law as Internet downloads have helped expose reasons for such underhanded dealings. For example, the Microsoft Evangelism Document, which states:
…. Evangelism's goal is to put the final nail into the competing technology's coffin, and bury it in the urning depths of the earth. Ideally, use of the competing technology becomes associated with mental deficiency, as in, "he believes in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and OS/2." Just keep rubbing it in, via the press, analysts, newsgroups, whatever. Make the complete failure of the competition's technology part of the mythology of the computer industry. We want to place selection pressure on those companies and individuals that show a genetic weakness for competitors' technologies, to make the industry increasingly resistant to such unhealthy strains, over time.
MK, what ever you do, do NOT get a Windows phone. M$ is so predictable, that they even copied its desktop OS problems and offered them as features for it's phones.
Who says M$ doesn't love it's users, they even brought over the BSOD as well! http://youtu.be/sQqp9kG80y8

"Can you recommend a, hopefully fully functional, phone or tablet that runs that wonderful OS you keep recommending left and right."
Hey genius, since the OS is Linux and Debian is only a flavor of the actual OS there are already plenty of Linux OS based choices for you to use. Don't waste Pog's time doing the obvious. Simply drag your sorry butt down to the nearest cell phone store and pick one out. They are easy to find since they pretty much dominate the store shelves. Just ignore those crappy ones with the ridiculous interface in the dark dusty unvisited corner of the store. Those would be Windows based.
Right, Mr. Pogson, do you have a mobile device powered by Debian GNU/Linux? Can you recommend a, hopefully fully functional, phone or tablet that runs that wonderful OS you keep recommending left and right. By the way, how come that pinnacle of creation is not mentioned in the report? What is its market share when compared to the laughable 24% of Windows?

Classroom Technology
Many teaching spaces on both the Monroe Park Campus and MCV Campus are equipped with multimedia presentation devices for use in classroom instruction, all operated via centralized remote control systems. Technology Services supports the equipment located in general-purpose classrooms (those scheduled through the Registrar's office for use by all departments). Classrooms owned exclusively by one department are serviced by that department.
In most of these rooms, you'll find a podium equipped with all the controls you need to operate all the devices in the room. The standard mini-podium features a PC with the ability to play DVDs and Powerpoint slides and/or access the internet for content. In addition, there is a flip-top control panel with inputs for additional video-enabled devices and laptops, and controls to operate a ceiling-mounted video projector, adjust system volume and raise and lower a motorized screen.
Take a video tour of the features and operation of the mini-podium here:
As TS staff continue the process of upgrading classrooms for digital display, many rooms have been equipped with new digital podiums and 16:9 format projectors and screens. On these podiums, you'll find a Crestron touch panel with multiple menus for controlling your display devices and audio and selecting from available inputs.
This video provides an introduction to the new digital podiums:

Middle East – Entry level job market recovering
The Gulf's job market for entry level professionals and graduates is showing signs of recovery, although there is a widening skills gap, according to recruitment firms and specialists based in the region, reports the Al Arabiya English.
Bobbi Hartshorne, head of education partnerships at Dubai-based Laimoon, a regional online recruiting site, commented: "We've seen an increase over the last six months of graduate and entry-level positions, there just seems to be a bit more buoyancy in the market in general. Obviously, there are a lot more graduates now."
"Anything financial accounting is huge, engineering and construction are enormous. This big five sectors are business management, media and marketing, financial, engineering and computing and IT," added Hartshorne.
Laimoon.com, established by Honeybee Tech Ventures, currently monitors 7,900 live current open positions directly from employers based in UAE, Qatar and Saudi. Of the positions available, 37% are targeted towards graduates and entry-level professionals.
Ihsan Jawad, co-founder of Honeybee Tech Ventures also commented: "Many graduates now are going to work in start-ups, where they're in demand as they're cheap and willing to work for next to nothing. Graduates should work very hard and earn very little as a way to get experience," Honeybee Tech Ventures promotes itself as an incubation platform, which aims to foster entrepreneurial talent.
Recruitment specialists agree that there are more graduate trainee positions available this year.
David Mackenzie, Managing Director of Dubai-based recruitment consultants Mackenzie Jones Middle East added: ""There are more graduate training schemes in the Gulf region, but they tend to be focused more on nationals [instead of expatriate graduates],"
Iba Masood, CEO and co-founder of Gradberry, a Dubai-based careers portal for internships and graduate-level jobs in the Middle East, told Al Arabiya English: "In 2010, the Middle East youth unemployment rate was at 26 percent, and was expected to grow to 28 percent in the next 2 to 3 years. The youth unemployment figure in the Middle East has now grown to about 28 percent,"
"However, if we look at the GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] region, overall employment prospects have definitely increased over the last year, and that can be attributed to the GCC's economic growth," Masood added.
According to Masood, her company has seen a +40% increase in job postings from around the region, although along with increased prospects, the supply of graduates is also steadily increasing, with more students gaining access to university education.
"What happens very often, especially in Cairo, Egypt is that there are very educated graduates with master's degrees in environmental science, biology or zoology, who work as petrol station attendants," said Masood. "The issue is the supply and demand mismatch."
Masood believes that this discrepancy is due to an excessively high concentration of engineering and business graduates, and in some Arab countries a high proportion of medicine graduates.
"But if we look at careers in web development, graphic design, visual communication, basically anything to do with emerging digital and technology fields, there's a wide open gap in terms of demand. We're seeing digital media agencies and start-ups opening up all across the Middle East and a rise in entrepreneurship."
According to Masood, "everybody has an MBA nowadays," however, entrepreneurs and start-ups are simply not able to find enough graduates with practical, industry-relevant skills.

text: Just released by the Eagles... He was productive recording 9.5 sacks in two seasons, but he is 32. That said I feel if we could sign him for a decent price and resign Landry, while also getting Ron Edwards back our DT's would be set. This would leave us the option to freely draft Kenny Vaccaro to shore up our secondary. This would add two great options to an already vastly improving defense.

In case you live under a rock, have no TV, were busy with more important things (yeah right), or a combination of these, the Vikings lost to the Denver Broncos today. Not only did we lose, but we beat ourselves with the worst damn display of tackling and coverage by our corners and safetys that I have ever seen. Two different times, Cedric Griffen released his man to an invisible safety for a TD and a giant gain, Marcus Sherels was nowhere to be found unless a big run just happened, then he could be found on his ass somewhere near the play, and our overall tackling in the secondary was outright pathetic. Just to further my point, Tim Tebow, with his five second release and oyster knife-sharp accuracy, completed 10 passes on us for a ridiculous 202 yards (20.2 yards per completion for you math whizzes). After this pathetic display by our secondary (I know, they've been pretty shitty all year, but today was a special kind of stink), I can now firmly say that I want our second round pick to go to a quality corner or safety (preferably corner) over a wide receiver or Mike LB.
What say you?

"I'm Home" Dartmouth Night 2010
Thousands of Dartmouth students, family, alumni, and friends gathered on Friday, October 29, for Dartmouth Night. In the frosty air, they met at tents at Alumni Gym and Blunt Alumni Center, class mini-reunions around campus and town, the Black Alumni of Dartmouth Association Reunion, and a networking event, and they paraded merrily through the streets of Hanover to the Green for the lighting of the annual bonfire. The Class of 2014 ran laps around the fire, honoring a Dartmouth tradition that dates to the 1890s and, with every step, ensuring it lives on. The next day, everyone woke to gather again for Homecoming fun at Big Green games, tailgates, Alumni Continuing Education lectures, and more events. Enjoy the slideshows!

A man is behind bars accused of sexually assaulting a six-month-old child.
Camp County Sheriff's Office's chief investigator says Ignacio Saldana-Rivera sexually assaulted a six-month-old family member. Officials wouldn't say how the infant is related to Saldana.
On June 8, Saldana was arrested for assault family violence and interfering with an emergency phone call. Authorities say this stemmed from the infant's mother calling 911 to report the assault and Saldana allegedly assaulted the woman to keep her from reporting him.
After an investigation, the Camp County Sheriff's Office deemed the woman's claims to be true and charged Saldana with aggravated sexual assault of a child.
The Camp County Sheriff's Office says an investigation is underway into claims that Saldana may have sexually assaulted a second child. Authorities would not comment further on whether the second child is related to Saldana.
Saldana remains in the Camp County Jail on bonds totaling more than $100,000. Officials say Saldana can not bond out of jail because of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, hold.

Season of Sharing: Marian Kessler
Date: December 26, 2012
by: Nick Friedman | Community Editor
Each week through December,
The Observer has featured a local donor who is involved with Season of Sharing, a 13-year, community-wide fundraising partnership created by The Community Foundation.
Marian Kessler is no stranger to public charities. The Manhattan, N.Y., native spent 20 years living in Chicago, during which time she served as the senior program officer at the Chicago Community Trust, a non-profit organization similar to the Community Foundation of Sarasota County.
During her time as senior program officer, she was involved in Basic Human Needs: the organization's safety-net program for those in the region on the verge of homelessness.
So, after she and her husband moved to the Sarasota area, it seemed only natural for her to become involved with the Community Foundation.
"I have great respect for the Community Foundation," says Kessler. "I'm very enthusiastic about it. They know the most about this community, and they use their resources efficiently. The money they raise stays here, which isn't something you see with a lot of national organizations."
When she read about the Season of Sharing campaign shortly after its inception, she knew she wanted to donate. A health economist by trade and with a physician husband, Kessler says the decision to get involved was an easy one.
"I think those who are fortunate should help those who are less fortunate," says Kessler. "These people have no safety net, and they're in very desperate circumstances. Many times, it's by no fault of their own."
Kessler is also involved in donating to organizations, such as All Faiths Food Bank, the Ringling Museum and Planned Parenthood, but she says she's glad to see a unique campaign, such as Season of Sharing, in place to help those in the community who need it the most. In a place like Sarasota, she says the realities of the problems many people face aren't always apparent on the surface.
"I see it as a problem," she says. "Many people live their lives in very sequestered areas, and they don't see the problems. In my daily life, I don't see a lot of it, either. But if you get involved, you see how important it is to have this life line."

On Tuesday, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors will once again be considering a policy to require all construction contractors to sign a project labor agreement with trade unions as a condition of working under county contracts.
On Sept. 18, 2012, the supervisors considered a similar policy that wasn't enacted. The county subsequently awarded a $22.7 million contract for the Sonoma County airport runway project without a project labor agreement. That contract award was not controversial: The board approved it unanimously, and the job was given to the lowest responsible bidder regardless of the union affiliation of any contractor or worker.
Arguments given to date in support of the proposed new project labor agreement policy for county construction contracts lack substance and are not based on factual evidence. No research is acknowledged. No data is presented. The supervisors have primarily depended on the unsubstantiated opinion and narrative of big labor special interests as a basis to justify it.
Proponents of project labor agreements have good reason to not present any reason or facts to support their case: None exists.
Facts and common sense, however, are plentiful on the side of those opposing this form of worker discrimination. Project labor agreements force workers to pay union dues and fees, pay into union pension plans and be hired through a union hiring hall as a condition of employment. PLA proponents claim this is needed to help guarantee "local hires," yet with 80 percent-plus of the region's construction workforce union-free, that claim is baseless. In fact, a project labor agreement on county work may make it more likely that local workers will be bypassed for union workers from outside the area.
So what is the problem this solution is trying to fix? At numerous meetings with county staff, we posed the same question over and over: What problem have you experienced that this policy is looking to correct? There was no answer because there is no problem. What there is, however, is a political demand being made on supervisors who owe their political career to big labor special interests.

Only three games played yesterday and those six teams managed a whopping total of 9 goals. So, yeah, not a whole lot to talk about today, but we'll dig in anyway.
We'll go with Corey Crawford for fantasy line of the night as he made 30 saves to shut out the Blues yesterday. He's now gone five straight without a regulation loss (4-0-1). His ridiculous 1.92 gaa ranks just fourth in the league. Seriously?
Marian Hossa put home a shorthanded goal and also added 3 shots. He hasn't been his normal self since returning from injury as this was just the second point in his last 6 tilts.
The game winner in the Blackhawks game when to Bryan Bickell. Over his last six games he has 3+2=5 with 2 GWG, 13 hits and 17 shots.
Benoit Pouliot stayed productive with a goal last night. He has 2+3=5 over his last five. With 19 points in 29 games, he's playing at a 54 point pace if he could stay healthy over a full season.
Jhonas Enroth got another start on Sunday after his 29 save shutout on Saturday night. He responded well stopping 32 of 33 shots for the win. He's 4-0-1 in his last five starts this season.
Tyler Ennis had gone 7 consecutive games without a point all while posting a minus-7. He finally broke that up with a powerplay goal yesterday.
Similarly, Thomas Vanek had no points and was minus-6 with no points in three games since returning from injury. That's likely not what you had in mind while he was taking up a roster spot and not playing. He got you on the board with a powerplay assist. Sell high on him after his hot start next season.
Jimmy Howard posted a 22-save shutout of a the Predators last night. It still counts as a shutout even though the Preds were basically icing an AHL lineup. Howard had just one win in his previous 5 starts.
Two assists, two shots, and plus-2 for Pavel Datsyuk as he was one of just two guys who managed a multipoint game yesterday. The other was his liney, Henrik Zetterberg, who went for 1+1=2 and 7 shots.
Nice line put up by Johan Franzen as he had 1 goal, 2 PIM, 2 blocks, and 5 shots. The Mule is on a three game point scoring streak and has 7 points including 4 PPP in his last 7 games.
Filip Forsberg got the call and played in his first NHL game last night. He finished with no points, 2 shots, and minus-2 in 18:37 of ice time. He looked impressive at times, showing flashes of what he's capable of. Cam believes his value took a hit going from Washington to Nashville and I agree, but he likely wouldn't have seen any NHL action this year as a Capital, so at least there's that.

This place is hugely overrated. If and when you get in (door staff are idiots – just say a random name and usually it works) it is full of disappointed tourists, who presumably found it somewhere in a guidebook, or were just unlucky enough to Google it. The staff are arrogant (because it is meant to be French; they're not…) the drinks are average at best and there is a stale, musty odour throughout the place. Go to London Cocktail Club if it's open, otherwise just pony up the cash and join a proper member's club. Century is across the road and is brilliant.

Q&A with Swami Swaroopananda
QUESTION: Why must the Supreme Self be worshipped like a god? Why isn't it enough to be aware of Its existence?
Answer: Worship is a manifestation of love, and love is an essential quality within spiritual practice. It is essential because it binds the lover and the beloved. If we look at our experience, we can see it is dualistic. We have an experience of a separated self and a separated external reality. In order to bring these two together into union, we have to invoke the energy of love, and one of the best methods to invoke the energy of love is the method of worship.
What is worship? Worship is love in action; it is love expressing itself in action, and it is directed toward the beloved. We call this worship, even though it's not actually possible to worship the inner Self, the innermost reality. On the other hand, the Self can be worshipped through Its external manifestations. What are Its external manifestations? It is said in the Vedas that all of this is Brahman. Everything that you see externally is Brahman; it is nothing but the Self. Therefore, by worshipping the one Self in the many within creation, you are worshipping the innermost reality behind all phenomena, or God. So the method of worshipping the Self is the method of worshipping our fellow beings in the form of selfless service to humanity, or karma yoga. Karma yoga is considered to be one of the better ways of serving the Self.
There is a mode, or a bhava, in Karma yoga, which is called Atma bhava -- to see your own self in the other, and seeing your own self in the other, to know that the self is God, to worship the self in the other. How do you worship the self in the other? By serving the other selflessly, with love, with devotion, and with the feeling that you are serving God himself, who dwells within the other. The same God that dwells within the other also dwells within yourself, because there is only one Self, and this is the One that we worship. The One that we call the Self is identical with God. The Self is God. But God is not just outside; God is not in heaven. God dwells within our own heart as our own innermost reality. And the same God dwells within the heart of every person, therefore, It can be worshipped.
Question: An old friend of mine passed away without me knowing. Is there a ritual to reconnect and just say goodbye? How do I deal with a loss in my absence?
Answer: Personally, you can tune your mind to your friend, send good wishes, and pray that your friend is going to move on. The best prayer is to help your friend to move on; it's not desirable for the friend to dwell here, to continue to dwell here on the physical plane. So the best prayer is to help him move on into the higher realms. If you would like to do a ritual, please see our priest, Krishnan Namboodiri, and he will find a specific ritual for this particular problem. He has been trained in this since he was a child.
. . .Continued from December 2011 Newsletter here
As for passing of a friend, we need to remember that when a person dies, the person does not truly die. This is the reality. On the other hand, temporarily of course, it's very painful, and it's very difficult to separate from someone we love. Because we are under the spell of illusion, we truly believe that when a person dies, he ceases to be, and this is not true. When a person dies, the person continues to exist; many times such a person tries to communicate with us, but even if the person is not successful, sooner or later we are going to meet again. This is how it works.
Question: What is the difference between yoga and Vedanta?
Answer: Vedanta is a system of philosophy, and yoga is also a system of philosophy. These are two systems of philosophy among the six systems that we find in India. The purpose of yoga is to learn how to control the mind and ultimately to learn how to meditate and how to attain Samadhi, or super-consciousness. The purpose of Vedanta is to realize Ultimate Reality. In order to realize Ultimate Reality, we need to know how to meditate, we need to know how to attain Samadhi. Samadhi is the vehicle that is used in order to uncover or discover Ultimate Reality. So in order to practice Jnana yoga, which is the yoga of Vedanta, the mastery of yoga, or Raja yoga, is absolutely necessary. The knowledge of meditation is absolutely necessary. So although these are two different systems of philosophy, they are interlinked, or interconnected. One prepares us for the other; one supports the other.
Question:Does absolute consciousness evolve? If it is one with both emptiness and form, and form is always evolving, wouldn't it have to evolve also?
Answer: I'm going to say something that is going to surprise some people. Yes, consciousness does evolve. How does it evolve? It evolves through form. Form is a manifestation of consciousness, and the evolution of consciousness manifests through the evolution of form. So form is not just form. Form is an expression of pure consciousness, and through form pure consciousness evolves.

Harry Potter Lawsuit - ACLU Sues Poplar BluffBy: The Associated Press
Poplar Bluff, Mo. - The American Civil Liberties Union of Eastern Missouri has filed a lawsuit against the city of Poplar Bluff after a library worker claims she was disciplined for failing to work at an event to promote a Harry Potter book.
Anthony Rothert with the ACLU in St. Louis says the woman, Deborah Smith, is a Southern Baptist who believes the Harry Potter series popularizes witchcraft and the practice of the occult.
He says she was suspended without pay for 10 days when she refused to work at a library event on July 21, 2007, for the release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." He says Smith, who has a pacemaker, was given arduous tasks, like emptying out a book drop-off box, upon her return, and quit on her doctor's recommendation.
He says the lawsuit filed in federal court in Cape Girardeau Tuesday alleges violations of her civil and First Amendment rights and seeks unspecified damages. There was no immediate response from
Poplar Bluff's attorney.

Debate continues on how to correct long-term problems
By Eric Boehm | PA Independent
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania businesses are on the hook for $139 million in payments to the federal government this year, because the state's unemployment trust fund is insolvent and buried in debt.
And those payments will increase to more than $259 million next year and $300 million the year after, if the state does not take on the more than $3.52 billion in debt, said Julia Hearthway, secretary of the state Department of Labor and Industry.
"This is just to pay the principle on the debt," Hearthway said. "These are all dollars that are going to Washington, D.C. They are tax dollars that are not staying in Pennsylvania."
A bill that would allow the state to issue a bond to pay off most of that debt has been passed by the House and Senate, but in different forms.
The state could use the bonded debt to pay off the loan from the federal government and repay the bond with lower interest over 20 years.
The state Department of Labor and Industry estimates that employers will save between $160 million and $265 million, depending on how the repayment of the bond is structured, according to a Senate Republican fiscal note. About $110 million of those savings will repay the private bonds, so net savings will total about $50 million.
While the bill would prevent employers from being hit with additional federal taxes triggered by the state's unpaid debt, it does not address the funding mechanisms that led to the unemployment fund being insolvent in the first place.
Lawmakers on Thursday pressed Hearthway for guidelines on a long-term solvency solution.
State Rep. Bill Keller, D-Philadelphia, minority chairman of the House Labor and Industry Committee, suggested increasing the tax base from $8,000 to at least $10,000.
"I don't see how we can get back to solvency without an increase to the taxable wage base," Keller said.
Labor unions argue that the threshold for employer taxes should be increased, to balance the fact that employees pay taxes on the full value of their paychecks.
The employee taxes are 0.8 percent on the entire paycheck, but employer taxes range between 2 percent and 10 percent on the first $8,000 earned by their workers.
Hearthway said raising taxes on employers was not a good move during this economic recovery.
"I don't think at this time we want to add taxes on top of taxes," she said. "If we were to just raise the taxable wage base without a (corresponding reduction in taxes), that would be an additional tax on businesses."
She said the long-term viability of the fund would require a three-step approach: eligibility reforms, a review of benefits and potential tax increases.
Dave Patti, president and CEO of the Pennsylvania Business Council, which represents business interests in the state, said any changes should be part of a package that includes a more streamlined appeals process.
He emphasized that Pennsylvania pays out the second highest unemployment benefits — behind California — despite having an unemployment rate better than the national average.
"A lot of that goes to the eligibility standards, and how it differs from other states," he said. "For people who are seriously unemployed, no one is arguing about that."
Rick Bloomingdale, president of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO, a coalition of state labor unions, said a revenue-neutral change to the tax policy would not address the solvency problems and would require businesses to continue to pay higher costs to the federal government.
"If you don't solve the problem, you have effectively raised taxes on employers," he said.
A bill that would restrict eligibility to unemployment benefits from individuals who quit their jobs was moved out of the House Labor and Industry Committee last month and will be considered by the full House when it returns to session in March.
Those who quit their jobs because of domestic violence are exempt from the bill, if they previously worked with the accused abuser.
The same committee also moved legislation that would eliminate the statute of limitations on unemployment fraud.
Hearthway said that because Pennsylvania has some of the most generous unemployment benefits, it has been a target for fraud and abuse.
A report from the U.S. Department of Labor last summer found Pennsylvania made more than $376 million in overpayments for unemployment compensation. The report said those overpayments were mostly due to fraud and clerical mistakes.
