TUF 17 Episode 8 S17E08 HQ Video – "Bag of Tools" The preliminary fights finish off with Zak Cummings taking on Dylan Andrews in the last prelim bout before the quarterfinals.
Uh Nice, I like that fight…the wild card
funny thing – Sonnen and Jones seem to be on a very good terms. They talk like friends who respect each other. Even Chael's trash talk is simply funny and not hostile, if he trash talks at all. Cool stuff
I thought Hester showed class at the announcement of who got the wild card.

Today's Bible Verse:Matthew 5:14
"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden." (ESV)
Today's Inspiring Thought: A City on a HillAs a believer, whether you like it or not, Jesus said you are the light of the world. Your life is a lighthouse set on a hill, and it cannot be hidden. People (both Christians and non-believers) are watching you, observing your life.
Paul said this similarly in 2 Corinthians 5:20: "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors ..." We are officially appointed representatives of Jesus Christ on this earth.
So, what kind of ambassador are you?

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
i think the school is above average because the teachers are very involved with the child's success
I like Harriet Tubman. The staff is dedicated to the betterment of the students. They are caring and attentive. I like the fact that they know the students by name. To me, that means that they are invested in their students. I'm glad my son attends this school.
This school is great! The teachers and supporting staff really care about my child's advancement to be a wonderful contributor to society.
This is a great school. The teachers and staff are very attentive, they keep you involved in your childs progress and development.
Harriet Tubman Charter School my child currently attends. She is saying that the staff is disrespectful and the teachers are teaching her nothing. None the less they have teachers who are soft. They cant teach a class!! But, when it comes times for report cards, grades magically appear. I think this school is a JOKE!! They say they are trying to keep Harriet Tubman's honor, but they are not. I might just take my child out the school. One of the worst choices i made for her. It may have been better before my child went there, but it just is not working for me.
My daughter attends Harriet Tubman charter school and it is an excellent school Mr.Person really cares about the students and the teachers are really caring Ms.Joos will be missed and Ms. Richburg were both excellent teachers to my daughter. I am so glad my daughter goes to a school with teachers and the principle and the staff that really really care I have no complaints.
I strongly believe this is one of the finest schools in the bronx. My child has been going to this school for the last 5 years, I'm impress with the attention that most of the teacher give the students. The principal Mr. Person moves around the school striving for excellent from his staff & his students.
I think harriet tubman has some of the best teachers around. The only problem i have with this school is the apparent favortism the principal of the school has toward some of the staff. If a staff member is breaking the rules they should be reprimanded. Not a slap on the wrist with that in mind how safe are our children. Best wishes to the security that left you are a nice person.
I love this school. But some of the staff members are disrespectful. There's one security gaurd, that i really like, because he's caring with all the kids. & with my daughter enrolled in HTCS i like that. I just dont know his name. Whats the name of the security gaurd with the tattoos on his hands?
Harriet Tubman is a great school, my child have enough home work to keep them out of trouble at home and get me as a parent involved. the school is organised and the principal is involved in every aspect of the school
my son is at HTCC, i am satisfied with the services they provide for the community
really like Harriet Tubman School!......I beleive that the school is a POSITIVE environment for the kids and a DEDICATED place for the teachers!.........The staff that works inside of the school are ALL respectful,kind,understandable,reasonalble and most inportant ALL FOR THE KIDS!....NO school is perfect but i as a PARENT feel safe that my child or any other child is attending Harriet Tubman Charter School..... P.S. "The security tries there best and there dedicated officers who ALSO deserves a thumbs up along with the school for the day-to-day safety they provide for our children!
This school is a disgrace. The principal lacks the professionalism to lead this school as it should be! He walks around with a blue tooth in his ear all day. Our presidents doesn't even do this! There are no adequate tutorial programs or extracurriculum activities for our children. Also, there is a revolving door in regards to teachers. Parents, staff and adminstrators are not working together for a common cause which is to proved an effective educational environment for our children. I am in the process of looking forward to removing my children from this school!!!! I am very involved however its just not working. This definitely a school in need of improvement real fast!!!!!
This school is an disgrace to Harriet Tubman's name, legacy and most all our children's futures. I am an old parent of this school (2002), my 2 children attend this school and this will be their last year here due to the current administration they have in place at this school.
My child attended H.T.C.S. for the past 8 years, she grad. this year June of 2009. She was excepted to one of the top high schools here in the city. Clearly somebody has been doing their job. One thing we have to remember about our children, is that it all start's from home. It's the teacher's who need to make sure that our children are progressing properly. I can say that it was a great experience at H.T.C.S. But on the other hand it's also been a rollercoaster for many other's. So i can understand why so many parent's feel the way they do. Maybe more parent's should be more involved in the school. From my experience there it has'nt been many. Just a handful. But i'm glad it's all over. It's time to move forward to a brighter future. I love all the H.T.C.S. staff from the past!
I have had it with this school. Ok so they put up some college banners and signs. So what? This school will higher ANYONE to teach. It seems they are looking for people to fill up a room rather than EDUCATE. The quality of teachiing in the school is terrible. The administration is week besides the principal. The vice principal is very strange in his demenor and the other, she is just flat out lost. When did education become so unimportant. The kids are out of control, the school enviroment is not safe. I asked how many teachers have advanced degrees two months ago and still don't have an answer. Our kids are not learning at this school. I have decided to take my kids out before it is to late. My kid doesn't like school anymore and I blame Harriet Tubman.
I'm a single mom with a son and a daughter who graduated last year. I had high hopes for this place but have been let down many times. Why can't they keep a good teacher? My son last year had a great class and teacher. He wasn't perfect but he wanted to do good for me & his teacher. I never saw my kid so excited about school until then. His test scores rose over the last 2 years and now, all of the sudden, I fear he is falling behind.I can't afford tutors nor can I let him fail. His teacher this year just isn't getting it done. Except in ELA, that is the only class he seems to be motivated about.Where is the energy in the school? Using other schools ideas & models doesn't make the school better.Its the teachers that make it better. And I don't see it.
I m a parent and an educator my self. At 1st, HTCS was a great place for us. His teacher was an exciting and energetic guy that kept us connected.My son enjoyed going to school & became a better student so we insisted our 4th grader be in his class also. Unfortunately, the teacher is no longer there & that was never communicated. I'm scared for this school and my kids. There seems to be no control or discipline. Last yr, my son came home and pulled out the chair for my wife & said, his teacher told him to be a gentleman. This year he's coming home with easy work & a lack of ambition. Whats sad is there is no tutoring service; no effective after school service for our kids. we thought we were in a great place with HTCS. We aren't!
My son and nephew have attended harriet tubman for 3 years. During this time my wife and i saw a revolving door of teachers frustrated with leadership. The administration is hostile and out of touch with education. It feels like our kids are part of an odd experiment. At the end of the last school year, we requested certain 3rd and 5th grade teachers because of the success we saw in there class rooms. We were not told until the first day both teacher were gone. Why? Now we're stuck paying $230 per month for tutoring because he's coming home with work from last year and not learning. This school needs some one to step in a take control before we loose another school for our children. Our kids deserve to have seasoned teachers who can control the class and allow effective teaching in the classroom.
My child school is a wonderful school.the teachers in the school loves the student.

Anticipatory set is the sixth step in writing a flawless reading lesson plan. While writing out this section of the lesson plan you must outline how you will activate the students prior knowledge, and present a brief summary of what they will be learning.
For this section, you can reference step two of the general 8 step lesson plan format for ideas and questions to ask yourself before writing out your anticipatory set.Example:
- Ask students to close their eyes and visualize what they know about a farm.
- Ask the class to contribute to a discussion about what they know about the animals on a farm.
- Remind students of a class trip to a farm.
- Tell the class how important farm animals are to the earth.

CHELSEA have announced the signing of winger Mohamed Salah from Basle.
The capture of the Egypt international, which is subject to him agreeing personal terms and passing a medical, could mean Juan Mata's move to Manchester United will now go ahead.
Salah was also linked with moves to Newcastle United and Liverpool.
A statement from Chelsea read: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm an agreement has been reached with FC Basel for the transfer of their 21-year-old attacking midfielder Mohamed Salah.
"The move is subject to the Egyptian international agreeing personal terms and completing a medical examination."
Provided the finer details of the move are confirmed swiftly, Salah could make his debut in Sunday's FA Cup fourth round tie at home to Stoke.
He becomes Chelsea's third signing of the winter transfer window, following Bertrand Traore and Nemanja Matic.
So impressed was Jose Mourinho with Salah's performance as Chelsea twice lost to Basle in the Champions League group stages that the Blues boss made his move.
Salah scored in three of the Swiss side's four recent meetings with Chelsea – a goal in each of this season's Group E Champions League wins, and also netting in the second leg of last term's Europa League semi-final.
He was also being courted by Liverpool, who earlier on Thursday conceded defeat in their pursuit of the midfielder.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
There's a cheerleading and dance competition in Charlotte this weekend. It's part of the youth and amateur sports market that cites are competing to win.
Organizers say The Spirit of Hope Cheerleading and Dance National Championship at the Charlotte Convention Center is attracting people from "15 states - as far north as Pennsylvania, all the way down to Florida and over to Tennessee."
Adam Thomas, President of Universal Spirit, says "252 teams, 6,000 athletes, 18,000 attendees will be attending throughout the weekend."
Experts say cities are targeting the youth/amateur sports market as a 'get' because the competitions and events fill what used to be significant vacant time periods in the hospitality industry.
"Like summer, weekends," says Mike Butts, Executive Director of the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority. "Those are times hotels are typically slow or restaurants are slow. That's great business in these periods that maybe corporate meeting don't happen."
Officials say youth competitions have become like "family vacations, family events so they travel in groups."
The CRVA says youth sports market has "grown in Charlotte really dramatically." According to Butts, amateur sports accounted for 53% of hotel bookings in the Charlotte region from July 2011 to June 2012.
This weekend's cheerleading competition will take place in Uptown. Hotels like the Westin Charlotte will get a boost in room bookings.
"Anytime we can bring in a convention that touches a weekend like MLK weekend, it's a benefit to all hotels in the uptown market place", says David Montgomery, Director of Sales and Marketing at the Westin Charlotte.
Vinay Patel of SREE Hotels says typically youth events like basketball, soccer or baseball tournaments take place outside of Uptown. "They happen on the periphery. They happen where facilities are and that's where our hotels are. We rely on these events, these sports."
Patel says his hotels are along the I-485 corridor. He says the youth/amateur sports market "fills a niche. A lot of our hotels are corporate hotels. So Sunday through Thursday is not typically an issue for us. It's getting that Friday/Saturday business - that's what amateur sports brings for us."

A branch target buffer (BTB) can reduce the performance penalty of branches in pipelined processors by predicting the path of the branch and caching information used by the branch. Two major issues in the design of BTBs that achieves maximum performance with a limited number of bits allocated to the BTB implementation are discussed. The first is BTB management. A method for discarding branches from the BTB is examined. This method discards the branch with the smallest expected value for improving performance; it outperforms the least recently used (LRU) strategy by a small margin, at the cost of additional complexity. The second issue is the question of what information to store in the BTB. A BTB entry can consist of one or more of the following: branch tag, prediction information, the branch target address, and instructions at the branch target. Various BTB designs, with one or more of these fields, are evaluated and compared.

Oak Hall ousted by Providence in playoff loss
Published: Thursday, February 6, 2014 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 6, 2014 at 11:51 p.m.
Oak Hall was hoping to continue on to a state title this season. Instead, the Eagles' dream came to a halt Thursday when they fell 48-40 to Jacksonville Providence in the Region 1-Class 3A quarterfinals.
"We missed a couple of assignments," Oak Hall coach Eric Ringdahl said. "We had a great season. It came back to making layups and we just didn't make layups. The last three times we played this team we haven't made layups."
Oak Hall (21-3) kept it close for most of the first quarter, but slowly began to unravel when it was unable to come up with defensive stops, which allowed Jacksonville Providence (22-5) to go on a series of runs.
The second quarter was no different as a combination of turnovers and poor shooting contributed to a halftime deficit of 29-17.
The nadir for the Eagles came when the Stallions' Maria Kuhlman hit a 3-pointer at the second-quarter buzzer to extend the lead back to the 12 points.
It was a different story in the third after Oak Hall began to string a few baskets together. Oak Hall used two 3-pointers and a three-point play to cut the Stallions' lead to just three headed into the final eight minutes.
"We were boxing out well (in the third quarter)," Ringdahl said. "But we left the same kid alone a couple of times. We came out and made shots. We let someone get open over here (the home bench) and it led to eight quick points. It was a mistake I take full responsibility for."
Momentum appeared to be on the Eagles' side, but it was not to be as the Stallions regained the hot shooting that disappeared in the third.
The fourth quarter was virtually over halfway through after Providence benefited from multiple fouls on Oak Hall on the offensive side and solid rebounding.

When it comes to gun rights issues, a KOTA Territory congressman wants to shift the focus away from gun control to mental health.
3rd District Congressman Adrian Smith believes gun control isn't the answer to preventing violence.
Smith says a stronger emphasis should be placed on the mental health.
Representative Smith says Congress needs to tread lightly because there are Civil Right and Constitution issues when it comes to guns.
"We're looking at a pattern, whether it's a movie theater in Colorado, or Virginia Tech on a college campus or Newtown, Connecticut.
A new bill would strengthen the federal background system for gun applicants.

Commons debate on the badger cull
A debate about badger culling will be held in the House of Commons today, following widespread protests.
Plans for trial badger culls in Gloucestershire and West Somerset have now been postponed to next summer. Many farmers are in favour of a cull because they say badgers spread TB to their cattle.

In 1983, a National Geographic article described Monteverde (translated Green Mountain) as the perfect place to catch a glimpse of the Resplendent Quetzal, a beautiful bird of paradise. From that moment on hordes of eco-tourists arrived in the small Quaker village, ready to take in its birdwatching attractions and famous Cloud Forest. Now this town is one of the centers of tourism in Costa Rica. The crowds are a disadvantage, but they also tell you something about the place: the Cloud Forest is beautiful; there are some delicious restaurants here; a famous zip line; and some interesting evening hikes by flashlight. Monteverde is one of my favorite places in Costa Rica. I always found this town a peaceful base to visit the surround rainforest. And I still dream of the coffee I had here – it was like drinking liquid chocolate. Mmmmm.
Typical Costs:
My Favorite Destinations Here
Learning Pura Vida
Getting Lost in the Jungle
Costa Rica's Caribbean Coast
- Hostel Prices: Prices start at around $7 USD per night for a room with shared bathroom and $20 USD for a single room including bathroom and breakfast.
- Budget Hotel Prices: Hotel prices start at $20 USD per night for a twin room, including breakfast.
- Average Cost of Food: Food in a "soda" restaurants will typically cost $3 USD for a typical dish. Main courses in most budget restaurants costing around $10 USD. The popular tourist restaurants cost around $20 USD per meal.
- Transportation Costs: Traveling by bus from San José will cost $5 USD. Local buses cost $2 USD to the Cloud Forest from Santa Elena. A taxi from Santa Elena to the Cloud Forest Reserve will typically cost $9 USD.
Money Saving Tips
- Student Discounts - As in most parts of Costa Rica, the tourist attractions offer student discounts if you show them a valid student ID when paying.
- Camp - You can save on accommodation by pitching a tent at La Colina lodge for just $5 USD per night.
- Take the public bus - Public buses from San José cost just $5 USD, this offers a great saving on the cost of private shuttle buses which cost $36 USD.
Top Things to Do
- The Cloud Forest Reserve - The cloud forest is Monteverde's most popular tourist attraction and the main reason people come here to visit. The area is home to the world's largest orchid collection, big jungle cats, thousands of species of plants and insects, as well as over 400 species of birds, including the famous Quetzal.
- Canopy tours - One of the most popular ways to see the forest is to walk across a series of suspension bridges through the canopy or zip line around. The SkyWalk and Trek tour has zip lines as long as 2,500 feet, observation towers and walking platforms which offer a less hair-raising way to see the rainforest. This combination tour is the one I did. While there are a few operators doing the same thing now, this is the most famous company.
- Monteverde Music Festival – This festival is held through January and February each year. For $10 USD, you'll get to experience classical, jazz and Latin music at the Bromelias Music Garden and Monteverde Institute. The festival is said to be one of the best in Central America and all proceeds go towards teaching music and arts in local schools.
- Hiking – The Cloud Forest is obviously a great place to go hiking, but, for a less crowded trek, head to the nearby Santa Elena Reserve. There are more than 12km of trails are available with varying difficulty. The Santa Elena Reserve offers better views of the Arenal Volcano in the distance and attracts more birds to its sunnier spots. I suggest hiking both reserves to get the most out of the region.
- Wildlife watching – This town is a birdwatcher's paradise. Although there are over 400 species in the area, most tourists crave a sighting of the Resplendent Quetzal. The Cloud Forest's dense and humid conditions can make it difficult to spot small mammals scurrying about, but outside of the forest you're likely to see (or hear!) howler monkeys, sloths and squirrels.
- Coffee & Sugar tours – There are several tour options for those looking for a glimpse into the practices and processes of harvesting coffee and sugar cane in the region, with the El Trapiche tour being amongst the best. You'll get a ride in an ox-drawn cart and, depending upon the season, you may even get to pick a bushel of raw coffee beans. Back at the farmhouse you can see how the raw materials are then turned into a variety of final products such as cane liquor, raw sugar, and roasted coffee.
- Monteverde Serpentarium – Home to over 40 species (including venomous and non-venomous snakes, poisonous frogs, toads, lizards, and turtles), this is the place to go if you're captivated by cold-blooded creatures. Located in the Cloud Forest, the Serpentarium is a nice little addition to a day's zipping or skywalking. Guided tours don't cost any extra and are very informative.
- Butterfly Garden – Situated between Santa Elena and the Cloud Forest is the Monteverde Butterfly Garden. Consisting of four separate butterfly gardens, a medicinal plant garden and a leaf cutter ant colony, there's quite a lot to see for the $15 USD entrance fee.
- Experience the Rain Forest by Night - While most people only visit the rain forest by day, a night walk gives you the chance to spot some of the countless nocturnal animals (everything from tarantulas to coatis to stick bugs) that call forest floor home. Most guides will provide flashlights, but you may want to bring your own to increase the quality of your photo opportunities.
- Visit the Bat Jungle – Afraid of bats? No need to be! The Bat Jungle in Monteverde offers an informative look at world and habits of these nocturnal creatures in a controlled rainforest environment. One of the neatest features is a sonar microphone that allows visitors to listen live to the bats using echolocation.
- Eat Some Cheese - The Monteverde Cheese Factory gives visitors some background into the influence of the Quakers in the area, and their production of dairy products. Be sure to sample some of the ice cream at the end!
- Swim at San Luis Waterfall - It's a three hour hike through the rainforest to get to this 330 ft. waterfall, but you can also arrange a horseback ride to the falls. You're welcome to swim upon arrival, but be warned — the water is chilly!

On May 10, the coaches and members of the Coastal Carolina University Track and Field and Cross Country programs were in Atlanta for a meet at Georgia Tech. The team was on it's way back to the hotel from the track when Head Coach Jeff Jacobs got a phone call saying his programs were reinstated. This news came just days after the announcement that both Men's Cross Country and Track and Field would be cut as part of a school wide $1,000,000 budget cut.
Jacobs said the scene on the bus when he told the team the news was sheer elation.
"Kids were screaming and yelling," said Jacobs. "I admit I was crying and other people were crying...tears of joy! We again were just so grateful that decision was made and that our program was going to continue on."
Reggie Nelson, a high jumper on the team, said the announcement was just what they needed after a hard workout and a tough week before.
"It was an overwhelming feeling," said Nelson. "Everyone was chilling after a hard workout. Next thing you know everyone suddenly found some energy after he told us the good news. It was exciting."
Junior Russel Kanner, said the team decided to wear their shirts inside out while waiting for the decision to hopefully be overturned.
"Instantly the shirts were flipped back on and we were proud to represent Coastal all over again," Kanner said. "We had a lot of motivation coming into the meet we had this past weekend."
That motivation sparked the team to some top three performances at the meet. The team currently has four athletes and two relay teams qualified for the East Regional round of the NCAA meet.
The athletes said they were just happy to have their program back. The CCU Board of Trustees cited better retention rates in a press release announcing the reinstatement of the teams. According to Martha Hunn in the Office of University Communication, the Office of Finance and the Office of Institutional Research calculated those new figures. Hunn said a school wide effort resulted in a six percent higher retention rate for Fall of 2013 than that of 2012. That breaks down to 139 freshmen who plan to re-enroll as sophomores next fall. Hunn said the combination of instate and out-of-state students tuition will add up to a projected $1,738,537.22.
When the Board was shown these numbers they decided to rescind the original request for a one million dollar cut across the school. The projected cut not only would have affected the track and cross country teams, but also academic and administrative programs.

About Cancer Antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3)CA 15-3 is a protein that is a normal product of your breast tissue, and it does not cause breast cancer. If a cancerous tumor (cells growing out of control) is present in your breast, though, your levels of CA 15-3 may increase as the number of cancer cells increase. Tumor cells will shed copies of the CA 15-3 protein, which can be measured by this blood test and by a related test of cancer antigen 27.29 (CA 27.29).
Should I Have a CA 15-3 Tumor Marker Test?
Not every breast tumor causes a rise in CA 15-3, so for patients with tumors that do not produce CA 15-3 or with early-stage breast cancer, this test is not useful. Only about 30% of patients with localized breast cancer (cancer limited to the breast) will have increased levels of CA 15-3. In patients with metastatic breast cancer, CA 15-3 can be found in 50 to 90% of all cases.
Reasons to Have a CA 15-3 Tumor Marker Test
If you have completed treatment for breast cancer, your doctor may test your blood for CA 15-3 on a regular schedule to see if your levels of this antigen are rising or remaining steady. Rising levels of CA 15-3 may indicate a recurrence of breast cancer, but since other conditions can cause higher levels of this antigen, the test results must be taken in to consideration with the results of imaging studies, your symptoms and other tests for hormone sensitivity, HER2/neu and BRCA genes.
Benefits of the CA 15-3 Blood Test
Your levels of CA 15-3 will help your doctor determine if:
- Your treatment is working or needs adjustment
- Your cancer has made an early recurrence, without noticeable symptoms
- Your cancer has progressed
- You have other conditions
Breast cancer is only one condition that may cause high levels of CA 15-3. Pregnancy and lactation also increase your levels of CA 15-3. Several noncancerous conditions (benign breast or ovarian disease, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease and hepatitis) can bring up your levels of CA 15-3.
CA 15-3 and Other Cancers
Ovarian, lung and prostate cancers may also produce CA 15-3.

Of course, Roland Mouret is no stranger to using the Internet to erase time and spatial boundaries between runway and consumer. Back in 2007, the designer teamed up with Net-a-Porter for a virtual trunk show that allowed shoppers to view and order his RM by Roland Mouret collection just 24 hours after it came down the runway. (That little venture resulted in $500,000 worth of sales.) At Saturday's cocktail thrown by Le Printemps for its new Maria Luisa shop-in-shop, the designer told Style.com that his runway presentation this Wednesday is being filmed by no less than 28 cameras to allow viewers at home to zoom in on looks they like and click to buy. Stay tuned for more details.
There's definitely something about immediacy in fashion. Net-A-Porter and Mouret are geniuses in using this, as are the folks at Gilt Groupe. Yay fashion + technology!

CARBONDALE — While administrators are asking for a 5-percent increase in tuition, the board of trustees at Southern Illinois University is leaning toward freezing tuition rates at their current rate.
The SIU board of trustees met Thursday in Carbondale, and its Finance Committee voted to recommend no increase in tuition for freshmen entering the university this fall.
At the February meeting, SIUE administrators had requested a 5-percent tuition increase, presuming that state funding remained the same as last year.
Fees also were proposed to increase from 1.4-5.7 percent.
The board also considered a proposal to require engineering students to pay a 15 percent tuition surcharge, which would translate to about $1,094 more per year. The engineering school requires more equipment and technical support than other disciplines, and its faculty tends to have higher salaries, according to university officials.
SIU spokesman Bradley Visintin confirmed that the Finance Committee voted to recommend no tuition increases, and said the fees would be considered at the May board meeting.
Under Illinois' state tuition laws, the tuition rate set when a student enters the university must remain the same for that student's first four years of studies.
Last year, tuition at SIUE increased 5 percent to $7,295 a year. The administration in Edwardsville had requested an increase of 7 percent, while Carbondale administrators requested 5 percent and received 3 percent.
At that time, SIUE continued to maintain the lowest tuition rate among all higher-education universities in the state, and SIUC has the lowest tuition among research universities.
The board will meet for its final decision on May 8 at SIUE.

Marques De Caceres Rioja Gaudium 2005
Marques De Caceres - La Rioja - Spain - Rioja
Professional Wine Reviews for Marques De Caceres Rioja Gaudium 2005Additional information »
For millennia, the Tempranillo grape varietal has been esteemed and revered by winemakers in their native Spain. These grapes are packed full of intense and fascinating flavors, often rewarding wine drinkers with notes of tobacco, leather, plum and herbs alongside their spicy and full bodied character. Their thick, black skins result in their wines being very deep red in color, and often high in tannins. As such, Tempranillo grapes are usually blended with other fine varietals to produce exceptionally balanced and delicious blended wines, such as those found in La Riot and other important wine regions around the world. Despite them being a notoriously tricky varietal to grow, their popularity continues to increase, and winemakers continue to impress the world with this excellent example of a red wine grape.
La Rioja is undoubtedly the jewel in the crown of Spain's wine regions, and the deliciously drinkable, complex and fascinating single red wines and blended wines of this special region have gone down in history as some of the finest on earth. La Rioja is located in the north of Spain, close to the Atlantic coast, but shielded from the cold and wet weather by the expansive Cantabrian mountains. As such, the climatic conditions in La Rioja are ideal for ripening the Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes used in the production of the fine red wines the region is famous for. Wineries in La Rioja take great pride in their heritage and traditions, and the winemakers of the region employ a range of time honored techniques alongside more modern methods to make the most of their superb crops each year.
For over two thousand years, Spain has been responsible for much of Europe's wine production, making the very best of native grape varietals, and more recently experimenting with and perfecting wines made from imported grapes. Of course, the region of La Rioja is renowned world-wide for the quality and characteristics of its wines, which benefit greatly from the warm, dry continental climate of the area, and the fertile soils of the Ebro river basin. However, there is far more to Spanish produce than the complex, aromatic and earthy red wine of this region, as a result of the vast range of wine making traditions and practices, and terrains and climatic conditions found across the country. The region Castilla y Leon produces some of Europe's finest white wines, and the sparkling wines of Cava and the sherries of Jerez are firm favorites for wine lovers around the world.

But internally we'll refer to it that way sometimes, because what we're really talking about is full lifecycle management for services, where if it works right it turns into a management link, a hub and everything that plugs into it gets commoditized. If you can get an Ethernet cable into the thing, we can discover it, and we don't care what it is, we can manage it. You could swap out one vendor and plug in another. So you really begin to disaggregate the stacks of IT, which is the exact opposite of what HP and IBM want to do. They basically need those stacks.
Behnia: I think where we are on that journey really depends on the maturity of the individual enterprises. Different enterprises are at different maturity steps. One of the things that we did in the design of our architecture is to make sure that customers could deploy this as they go. So that we're not overshooting their capabilities or their needs. And this is one of the big differentiators for us, and where the analogy for ERP breaks. Because many of the ERP solutions were very monolithic.
Beauchamp: If you hire us to do it, we can get you a long way to it right now. It's not as cookie-cutter as it needs to be. But we're doing it for customers now on a regular basis. Every quarter we're taking the rough edges off -- where this product and this product connect. It's just in the productization of the whole thing. We still have to go in with experts and help you configure it and get it set up and interview you. And it's still got a services element that's a little rich.
Acquisitions and partnerships
You've described the BladeLogic deal as a "transitional" event for the company. Did it really turn out that way?
Beauchamp: Absolutely. When you take Blade and you add it to our network configuration automation product, and you add it to our run book automation product, you have the core of the automation suite. One of our competitors says they're all about cloud, but they have no automation tool. They've got all sorts of management widgets, but you can't provision a cloud. Without BladeLogic, we would not have been able to provision clouds. We would not have had the relationship with Cisco. We would not have been involved in as strategic a relationship as we have with Dell. We wouldn't be as involved as we are now with Accenture and Capgemini and CSC and Wipro and most of the global outsourcers and systems integrators.
How do these partnerships go beyond the usual marketing slogans -- are they having a material impact on the bottom line?
Beauchamp: It depends which ones. We won an order last December, one of the biggest orders in our history. Accenture was very involved in that deal. They are actually doing the implementation of our software. The two of us worked together on that deal. Accenture views us very importantly, as their management partner in many cases. You can't say it was just the direct sell through that was material. It was the influence and the relationship. You can tell a similar story around CSC and about many of the Asian outsourcers and systems integrators.
What can you tell us about the Cisco deal? What are you seeing through your work with Cisco? Are they successfully moving the Unified Computing System (UCS) product into organizations?

After dozens of Emmys, 30,000 guests, and more than 4500 episodes the Oprah Winfrey show is calling it a wrap after 25 years.
The talk show queen taped 2 of her final shows at the United Center in Chicago Tuesday, more than 20,000 people lined up for what promised to be a star studded finale.
One hundred AND fifty thousand viewers registered for the free tickets, but only 2-thousand make it through to see the "Surprise Oprah Farewell Spectacular."
Viewers can watch those episodes next Monday - Wednesday on WEEK at 4pm.
Gina Morss will also take a look back on the most honored day-time talk show in history and the central illinois guests Oprah has talked to along the way.

With the retro 90s jerseys that have been worn over the past several weeks have come mountains of nostalgia from various members of the Brew Hoop cult. Whether it be discussing our favorite Bucks players of the last 20 years, or David Stern paying the refs to ruin Milwaukee in the 2001 ECF, it has all come back.
My favorite memory of that era? The "Light It Up" song that played in house at the Bradley Center during the 2001 season. It generally got the crowd going and still brings me back to a better time with playoff wins and national pub.
In honor of this Grammy Winning song (ok not quite) I have made a remix for the 2013 season. It is a pop/jazz/hiphop version. Enjoy.

While the Seattle Seahawks enter tonight's (Sun., Feb. 2, 2014) Super Bowl 48 showdown against the Denver Broncos with an almost totally healthy team, the same cannot be said for their opponent.
Actually, Denver is missing multiple starters, though that's been the case for some time now. That includes notable names like LT Ryan Clady and pass rush specialist Von Miller. Starting cornerback Chris Harris was lost for the remainder of the season when he tore his ACL in the Divisional Round game against the San Diego Chargers.
The full injury report for today's game includes Peyton Manning and Knowshon Moreno, though both will play without restriction. Here's the complete report:
CB Tony Carter (shoulder)
TE Joel Dreessen (knee)
DT Terrance Knighton (knee)
G Chris Kuper (ankle)
QB Peyton Manning (ankle)
RB Knowshon Moreno (ribs)
K Matt Prater (illness)
DT Mitch Unrein (knee)
CB Kayvon Webster (thumb)
DT Sione Fua (calf)
Be sure to keep it locked here all Sunday afternoon because we will have complete Broncos vs. Seahawks results, including quarter-by-quarter, play-by-play updates, from kickoff to final whistle RIGHT HERE.

Anthony Bourdain on FoodTVPosted by Judd under Food & Wine
[3] Comments
Thanks to Ben for pointing me to an amazing commentary by Tony Bourdain, author of the fantastic Kitchen Confidential. Writing as a guest on Michael Ruhlman's blog, Tony employs his signature whip-cracking, politically incorrect, dry style to critique the 'stars' of today's Food Network, and in general bemoans what's become of FoodTV. Here are a few choice tidbits but I suggest you take it all in yourself:
On Rachael Ray:
Complain all you want. It's like railing against the pounding surf. She only grows stronger and more powerful. Her ear-shattering tones louder and louder. We KNOW she can't cook… She's a friendly, familiar face who appears regularly on our screens to tell us that "Even your dumb, lazy ass can cook this!" Wallowing in your own crapulence on your Cheeto-littered couch you watch her and think, "Hell…I could do that. I ain't gonna…but I could–if I wanted! Now where's my damn jug a Diet Pepsi?"
On Sandra Lee (of Semi-Homemade):
Pure evil. This frightening Hell Spawn of Kathie Lee and Betty Crocker seems on a mission to kill her fans, one meal at a time… I would likely be arrested if I suggested on television that any children watching should promptly go to a wooded area with a gun and harm themselves. What's the difference between that and Sandra suggesting we fill our mouths with Ritz Crackers, jam a can of Cheez Wiz in after and press hard? None that I can see. This is simply irresponsible programming.
On Paula Deen:
I'm reluctant to bash what seems to be a nice old lady. Even if her supporting cast is beginning to look like the Hills Have Eyes–and her food a True Buffet of Horrors. A recent Hawaii show was indistinguishable from an early John Waters film. And the food on a par with the last scene of Pink Flamingos.
I couldn't have said it better, especially on Paula Deen. I'll never forgot my horror, watching as she poured an entire can of sweetened condensed milk on top of a pile of Krispy Kreme doughnuts for a nauseating version of bread pudding, as she smiled and said in her silky southern drawl '…and would you believe it, this recipe has no added sugar!'
3 Responses to "Anthony Bourdain on FoodTV"
Well, Bourdin can be such an asshole… but in that piece he's much much more right than wrong (in my opinion). Michelle and I enjoy his No Reservations show… Namibia was insane and Beruit during the Israel soldier hostage crisis was unforgettable.
[...] something Anthony Bourdain said about his most hated chef nemesis, Rachel Ray. (I noted this in a previous post.) Complain all you want. It's like railing against the pounding surf. She only grows stronger and [...]
I think Paula Deen is a wonderful lady and I wouldn't call her "an old lady" like Bourdain did; however, I do believe she could cut way down on the butter, sugar and fat in her recipes when she does her show. Cholesterol and heart disease has a way of creeping up one and it may happen in her own family if she cooks home meals the way she cooks on TV. That, coupled with the fact she smokes, could be shortening her life.

One of the factory grip panels is quite broken up (and the inside is worse). The other one is also cracked inside and out. I have never regretted replacing them with my homemade walnut grips - in fact, I'm proud that I did so well on my first try, with very little woodworking experience.
The bluing on this gun has seen better days. Much of it is worn off the front left side of the barrel, and the cylinder is missing some blue opposite each chamber. It hasn't had an easy life, but it's been true and dependable.
This particular gun is a personal symbol of courage and kindness and love, and will always remind me of my good-hearted uncle, Daddy's kid brother, who chose to give it to me instead of doing something much less honorable with it.
Colt Scout revolvers have nominal 4.75" and 9.5" barrels, though they typically measure 1/16" short. The long ones were marked as Buntline Scouts, but are usually listed with Frontier Scouts in reference books.
For overall feel, it's very hard to beat the pointability of a Colt single action revolver. When you pick one up, you find that it points as naturally as you'd point your finger.
The Colt Frontier Scout '62 is a six-shot single action revolver. This one is chambered for 22 WMR, but they were also made in 22 LR. Ammunition is not interchangeable. Some models were sold with both 22 WMR and 22 LR cylinders, which made the Scout a fairly flexible play-purty.
The Scout's fixed sights don't lend themselves to serious target shooting, but it can certainly provide a lot of fun at the range. Neither the 22 LR nor the 22 WMR is a great self-defense round, but if you have to choose one for that purpose, go with the magnum.
It's a quality gun, and I'm happy to own one.

According to this link: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/proguard.html, they state:
ProGuard makes your application harder to reverse engineer, it is important that you use it when your application utilizes features that are sensitive to security like when you are Licensing Your Applications.
But that's not true! I'm using the newest Proguard (4.7) included in ADT 17 preview 4. I use proguard while exporting my app by adding
Into my project.properties (proguard-android.txt is just the default setup included in ADT 17).
But I can easily reverse engineer my apk, returning it to it's original code using these steps:
Use apk-tool to extract the apk.
Use smali to convert the .smali files into a .dex (you point smali to the folder containing the .smali files, normally inside /src/com/[companyname]/[appname])
Use dex2jar to convert the resulting .dex file into a .jar
Use jd-gui to view the resulting .jar file
So my question is: am I doing something wrong? Or is proguard just completely useless at obfuscating code?


text: Watching the Mavs get swept by a team with three scorers last night, I realized that they did the right thing when they let Chandler and the other guys go to make an attempt to bring in some more scorers this year. All the teams going deep into the playoffs this year have three and the Mavs, with or without those guys, have only one. But that's going to change this summer, one way or the other. Dirk plus two guys who can score and play defense ... and the Mavs are capable of hanging with the elite. Dirk and a lot of overpaid role players and we get one championship every decade or so. So in this time of dark despair, take heart Mavs fans. Help is on the way.

Temperatures are rising as we approach summer and the next few days may make you sweat.
"We are going to see the warmest weekend that we've seen…the warmest temperatures that we've seen since last fall. The early part of September was the last time most areas across central Montana saw highs in the 90s. So we could see some temperatures, especially across Central Montana and North Central Montana reach the upper 80s to lower 90s particularly Sunday into Monday," said Chris Foltz, National Weather Service Warning Coordination Meteorologist.
Folks it's really hot out here and I'm forecasting it to get even hotter this weekend and when you need some hydration, it's tempting to go for this, but you really need to go for this.
"So certainly we want to stay hydrated. Drink clear liquids. Avoid alcoholic beverages, carbonated sodas that are dark, things like that, those actually help dehydrate you. You want to use lots of water, lemonade. Things like that," said Foltz.
You also don't want to leave any kids or pets in the car. Cracking the window won't help. One time I baked cookie on the dash of my car on a hot day. There's a reason people call me the Weather Chef. Temperatures inside reached nearly 200 degrees so it was literally an oven. If it can bake cookies, you don't want to be in there. No matter where you are, how should you stay safe?
"The main thing is try to plan your activities during the morning or late evening hours. Try to avoid the noon to early afternoon hours. That's the time when it's going to be the warmest when people are going to be the most susceptible to heat related issues," said Foltz.
So stay in the shade, stay hydrated and stay cool.

The Cowboys begin their long awaited home game binge on Sunday when they host the Cleveland Browns. Dallas is coming off a huge road win in Philadelphia that saved the season, in which we saw some exciting plays from Romo, Bryant, Carr, and surprisingly Dwayne Harris. (This guys needs to do some more returns, he had a big one in ATL, and an even better one the very following week). The Giants will have lots to think about during their bye week this week, after a giftly timed (for the Cowboys) loss to the Bengals.
Although the Browns are only a 2 win team, and are led by a rookie RB, QB, and WR, they have a stingning defense, and in my opinion, are very underrated. With a coach and a couple more pieces, this is a team that can really compete in a couple seasons. They will give Dallas a harder fight than what they are used to and this game won't seem as close as it did at the beginning of the season.
Key Matchups:
DeMarcus Ware vs Joe Thomas This matchup will be very interesting. Joe Thomas is a very good pass blocker, one of the leagues best. DeMarcus Ware is a very good pass rusher, the leagues absolute best. I expect to see Joe Thomas have a very good day against Ware, as Ware doesn't get in the pocket often, and it relatively quiet as he records only one sack against Thomas. Although I see Thomas winning this matchup, I expect Ware to mix it up with blitzes from the left, right, and middle on his way to a 2-sack game from Ware.
Joe Haden vs Miles Austin/Dez Bryant Joe Haden is a great cornerback that can shut out receivers. If only he had good help from the other players. Haden will probably contain Austin for the first part of a play, but with a limited pass rush, I expect a clean pocket for Romo with plenty of throwing room, allowing Austin and Bryant enough time ti get separation from the Cleveland corners to get looks and passes. I see Austin/Bryant winning this matchup, but not because Haden isn't good enough.
Greg Little vs Morris Claiborne This will be another very interesting battle, as Greg Little is a rookie receiver having a great season thus far, and other than a hiccup last week and a few plays along his rookie path, Claiborne is having a great season as a corner. I expect Claiborne to absolutely dominate this matchup, as he is on a quest to redeem himself. Claiborne has already shut down the likes of Hakeem Nicks, Sidney Rice, and Mike Williams. Claiborne against a rookie will be fun to watch as Little get very few open looks, a low reception number, and does not have a very productive day against Claiborne.
Cleveland Game Plan The Browns have a good defense, but really don't have the firepower to win against Dallas. their best bet is to coach smarter than Dallas, and possibly take advantage of Dallas' weakened front 7 to pound the ball enough to maintain possession and move the ball along and score. The coaching and run game are both weak aspects of the Browns, so neither is likely, however Cleveland will not go down without a fight.
Dallas Game Plan The Cowboys need to do just a few things to ensure a win: stay focused, don't make stupid mistakes, coach halfway decent. This will be a winning formula for Dallas. Dallas is the better team: they have the better defense, better quarterback, better receivers, and are better in almost every category that matters. They just have to maintain focus and not let an easy game slip away from their fingers after fighting their way into the playoff race just the week before.
Quarter by Quarter
Q1 Cleveland will start with the opening kickoff. Both Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden will start off hot and get the offense rolling. They will stumble a bit after crossing the 50, but pull out another first down before being stopped to a field goal. 0-3. Dallas will come out looking to show the Browns that Dallas is a very tough team, but it won't happen. Dallas will go 3 and out after 2 short runs and an incomplete pass. The Browns will get the ball and a good return to give them favorable field position. Weeden will be shaky this time, but Richardson will pull out another couple good runs to take the ball inside the Dallas 40. Cleveland isn't able to convert the third down but knocks on another field goal. 0-6. Tony Romo and the offense will take the field again, and this time, they will play a little better. They will take it across the 50 before the first ends.
Q2 Felix Jones will come up with a nice run to put the ball in field goal range. On the next play, Romo will stand in the pocket with tons of time and finds Austin deep in the endzone for a TD to take the lead. 7-6. The Browns will go 3 and out on their next drive after Brandon Weeden is unable to connect deep with Little on third down. Dallas gets the offense going,but is stopped outside of field goal range and punts the ball away. Brandon Weeden starts taking deeper shots, and throws a pick to Brandon Carr while the Browns still have it on their side of the field. Carr gets a decent return before he is stopped at the Cleveland 40. Tony Romo finds a couple nice gains through the air, before a short completion to Bryant gets them another TD. 14-6. Brandon Weeden cannot do anything and it goes into halftime 14-6.
Q3 Tony Romo and Co. burn through the Cleveland defense on the opening possession of the third quarter. After getting inside the redzone, they make some questionable calls and Romo is sacked on third down to force a field goal. 17-6. Cleveland is once again unable to make anything happen, and Dallas gets the ball back. It is the same story for the Cowboys, and the Browns have the ball once again. this time, they take an ugly drive down into field goal range. After a good defensive stand, Dallas forces the field goal. 17-9. Tony Romo drives the Cowboys down the field and before the third ends, Dallas gets a long field goal in. 20-9.
Q4 The Browns bust out a big play near the opening of the fourth and are inside field goal range. Brandon Weeden negotiates his way to a first down, before finding a Massaquoi deep for a TD. They go for the two point conversion, which fails. 20-15. Dallas is feeling some pressure, as they are up by only one score in the fourth. It changes on this drive however, as Tony Romo is able to deal the Boys another field goal drive to solidify their lead, 23-15. With just a few minutes left, Weeden comes on the field, expected to lead a TD drive and attempt to send the game into OT. Early into the drive, Trent Richardson fumbles the ball and Bruce Carter is able to land on it to give the ball back to Dallas. Tony Romo quickly finds Dez deep for another TD to ice the game, 30-15. The Browns come back on in the waning seconds, where nothing happens.
