A man who allegedly stole five pairs of earrings worth more than $15,000 from a Cedar Rapids jewelry store was arrested Friday and charged with a second, similar theft as well.
Jayson Law, 27, of 1247 4 Ave. SE, Cedar Rapids, was charged with first-degree theft after allegedly stealing five pairs of earrings valued at $15,692 from Rogers Jewelers at Westdale Mall in Cedar Rapids.
Cedar Rapids police report Law entered Rogers Jewelers on Feb. 19 and asked to see the earrings before grabbing them and fleeing the store. Employees gave chase, but lost the subject in the mall, according to reports.
As a result of that investigation, Law was also charged with second-degree theft for a similar theft at Helzberg Diamonds in Cedar Rapids on Jan. 24.
In that instance, Law asked to look at three diamond tennis bracelets valued at $4,497, then running out of the store when employees lost sight of him, according to police.
Law was taken to the Linn County Jail.

Kenpo Karate - Setting History Right 1949-1954by
Will Tracy
(revised 1/11/98)
(second revision 8/8/99)
Kenpo Karate today owes its very existence to Ed Parker, as it was Ed Parker who brought Kenpo Karate to the mainland from Hawaii and made it world famous. Ed Parker had a brilliant mind. He never forgot a name, and he could simply look at a martial arts technique and know its application; and, that may be the reason so little was known about Ed Parker's early martial arts training. This lack of knowledge about Ed Parker led most of us to accept that he had years of training because no one could be as good a martial artists as he was without years of training.
Ed's father was a carpenter, and worked for the Mormon Church on many projects, including being a construction supervisor for the Church College in Hawaii that opened in 1955. This in no way takes from the nobility of Ed Parker's father. I knew him to be an honest, forthright, intelligent and humble man. When he came to the Mainland to visit in 1959, it was Ed Parker who paid his way and expenses because his father did not have the money for the visit. One of the first things Ed's father told my brothers and me was his family had nothing to do with the Parker Ranch; and he told us he had changed his name because Waipa was of royal linage, and he didn't want people to associate him or his family with royalty. As a devout Mormon, earthly royalty meant nothing. A look at Arthur Parker's genealogy will show what he meant.
NOTE: John Palmer Parker died in 1868, and his estate was divided between his son, John Parker II and Sam Parker, the son of Ebenezer Parker. Mismanagement forced the ranch into a trust that took control from the Parker family in 1887. John Parker III, the son of John Parker the II married Elizabeth Jane Lanakila Dowsett, but died shortly after his daughter, Annie Thelma Parker, was born and his half of the estate was put in trust for their daughter, Thelma.As for Ed' martial arts training, he had told my brothers and me that he was a Judo Shodan. Ed Parker's father added that he had enrolled Ed in Judo classes when Ed was twelve - the week Ed was ordained a Deacon in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), and that Ed got his Shodan the week before Ed graduated high school. That was in 1949, and Ed was 18 years old. However, I learned from two of his fellow students at the Hawaiian Judo club that Ed had been promoted to Nidan while in the military; and, I also spoke with Dr. Wayne Wright, who had been Ed Parker's faculty advisor Brigham Young Judo club (Y Judo Dojo) that Ed had been promoted to a Judo Sandan at BYU where Ed headed the Judo team.
NOTE: My brother Jim and I began training with Ed Parker in 1957 and my brother Al Tracy began in 1958 after he was discharged from the Air Force. I first met Ed's father in Hawaii in early 1959, and he and I took the same flight to Los Angeles later in 1959. My brothers and I showed Ed's father around Los Angeles and we developed a close relationship. One of Ed Parker's, Jim Nessy, was a bull fighter, and we took Ed and his father to the bullfights in Tijuana, Mexico.In 1957 we all knew that Ed Parker did not begin training in Kenpo Karate until after he graduated from high school, which was in June 1949. That's what Ed told us, and Professor Chow told me Ed came to study with him after he (Chow) had left James Mitose and opened his club, and call his style Kenpo Karate. That was after May, 1949.
NOTE: When I went to Hawaii in 1959, Ed Parker gave me a list of Kenpo men for me to look up. Frank Chow was not one of them. He had never mentioned anything about Professor Chow having a brother, and Professor Chow never mentioned his brother to me either. Likewise, Ed's father talked about Professor Chow, and many of Ed's fellow students, but during the entire time I was in Hawaii, he never once mentioned Frank Chow.One thing everyone seems to agree on is Ed Parker worked in a pineapple cannery to finance his trip to BYU. This cannery was owned by the Mormon Church, and what he did not earn there, the Church lent him, as the air fare was over $600.
NOTE: I went to Hawaii in 1959 on the Matson cruise ship, SS Luriline. One of my Army buddies was the Communications Officer, and I was given free passage. However, I had been the manager for the Pasadena American Health Studio, and I filled in as a trainer at the ships gym. That saved me from having to join the union where I would have had to wait in line for two years to get that job.Ed was a full-time student, but only carried the minimum 12 hours per quarter so he could work and earn money to pay his way. He lived with a family after the first quarter and didn't have to pay rent, but needed money for tuition and other expenses. This also meant he had to go to school during the summer quarter to make up for the courses he did not take during the first three quarters.
Ed Parker states in Infinite Insights into Kenpo : Mental Stimulation (p.25)"After two years at the Brigham Young University in Provo Utah, I was drafted into the Korean War in 1951 and managed to be stationed in Hawaii for two and a half years of my three year hitch with the U.S. Coast Guard...."
NOTE: Castro was released in 1955 after serving four years in the Coast Guard, and began training with Professor Chow in Hawaii after that. At that time (1955) Castro learned that Ed Parker was one of Professor Chow's brown belts.Ed Parker's first ship assignment was not with the Coast Guard, but a TDY (Temporary Duty) assignment on a Navy transport ship that sailed to Yokohama, Japan, where the family he had lived with in Provo was with the United States Diplomatic Corps (in Tokyo). On his return, Ed was assigned to a Coast Guard ship that had its home port in Honolulu.
Leaving Frank Chow out of the picture, or even assuming that Ed Parker had some training with Frank Chow, it's certain that Ed Parker took his first Kenpo lessons with Sonny Emperado, and Ed Parker was in the Coast Guard at the time.
NOTE: In 1965 (less than a year after Ed Parker's first International Tournament in 1964) Sonny Emperado put on a demonstration at a Kajukenbo tournament in the San Francisco Bay area. Ed Parker was an invited guest of honor, and my brother Al and I were there. After Emperado told the audience that he had been Ed Parker's first instructor, Sonny gave Ed a certificate, awarding him 5th degree black belt. Ed graciously accepted the certificate and made a few remarks about what a tough instructor Emperado had been, and how Emperado opened his (Ed's) eyes to what Kenpo was.To repeat, the fallacy in Ed's account is, Sonny Emperado did not begin teaching until 1950, and Ed Parker was at BYU from the fall of 1949 until summer, 1951. After that Ed was at Coast Guard Basic Training at Alameda, California until the beginning of 1952, and his ship did not arrive in Hawaii until later in 1952.
NOTE: There is a printed black belt certificate some are claiming Professor Chow gave Ed Parker in 1953. Professor Chow never gave a printed certificate. All his belt promotions were either given in Mitose's book, or on a common certificate that could be purchased at any 5 & dime or stationary store. A student filled out the certificate and Professor Chow would sign it. This was the kind of certificate Professor Chow signed for Masaichi Oshiro in 1953, which incidentally was after the date on the Ed Parker certificate.Ed returned to BYU in the fall of 1954 where he taught Kenpo to a closed group of Island boys first at the Polynesian Ward (which served as the Polynesian Cultural Center at the time) and later at the BYU Smith Fieldhouse wrestling room, and Ed did not begin teaching Haolies (whites) until January, 1956.
NOTE: Dates in Kenpo are sometimes wrong because events, not dates, stick in our minds. What many, including myself, remember as happening in one year, actually occurred either before or after that time. I had once written that I had been with Professor Chow in the summer of 1960 when Chow went on a four-day drinking binge. I was off by one year. The drinking binge actually took place on August 21, 1959. I know the exact date because it began the day Hawaii was admitted as the 50th State, and it was the event, not the year that stuck in my mind.Not being like Woodward and Bernstine, I never thought to follow the events and not just assume every date in Kenpo history was correct.

Cheri says, "I was wondering if you guys could suggest some affordable midi and long skirt styles for plus size women."
" I'm a US size 12/14 and 5'7″ and I've personally been afraid to buy long skirts because they tend to look frumpy on bigger girls. However, I'm studying abroad in Cairo in the fall and jeans just won't cut it in the heat (and skirts at the knee or above are definitely frowned upon). Please help!"
Midi and maxi skirts can be supremely flattering, no matter your size. If you choose to pull one on, just be sure to take care with proportions. The more voluminous the skirt, the more close fit the top. If your goal is to look slimmer, black is always a good choice. Also, the straighter the skirt, the leaner you'll look.
American Apparel and Asos are good places to find cute long skirts for less. If you want a few more options, we found the looks below (all under $150):
17 Responses to "Wardrobe Query: Midi and Maxi Skirts for Plus Size Women"
Claire, who makes the dress from that photo?
I have the target skirt in grey, large. Fabulous…got lots of compliments. Wanted to go back and get more but there were none.
Thank you Thank you Thank you so much Claire! (you couldnt have imagined my joy when I saw the email this morning)
Check out Lev & B New York……I hear the designer is directing her focus on Maxi skirts & dresses, and caters to the plus sized community. Not sure if the web site is up yet but I hear she will be making a Fall 2011 debut. HAWTNESSS!
If your talking about the first photo.. I think that is Toccara from Americas next top model and she's modeling for Evans UK website. The skirt is their long black accordion skirt and the top is a bathing suit if I remember right. I also think the shoes were just flats she modeled on her tip toes. Hope that helps.
Also the second photo was Raven and she was on hot or Hmm on this blog a while ago. She was wearing an American apparel top and some skirt..
That's a lovely pic of Toccara!
I completely agree. Being plus sized myself, I own a couple midi length skirts. I love them but don't want to look matronly or frumpy because I'm kind of short (5'5″) but its about proportions.. wearing killer heals if need be or rolling the skirt up a bit, tucking in a cute tank top and throwing on a belt. These skirts can be worn so many ways and is not just for straight sizes. As for Raven I do think a different top would of been better to be honest. Oh and if Cheri V is looking for more options asos curves has a few options in different colors and a black and white striped skirt I own and love.
Claire, Not a good choice of photos ..since these celebs have now slimmed down..and they aren't even plus size in the pics….Maybe you should have searched pics of Lisa Raye daughter..Ty..she still models for plus-sizes…#JustSaying…
Btw..Tocarra and Raven look beautiful!
love the first photo though I would never think of a size 12 as plus size (given the height) but oh well its the fashion world but I would vote for asos as well

This section of the blog is suppose to give us tips on where to find plus size clothing right? She why did the writer refer us to American Appearel for a maxi skirt? They dont sell plus size. I was so excited when I seen the topic for this entry because this is the exact kind of skirt I have been looking for, but still I have no insite as to where I can find one.
Torroca, is so hood and rude. Met her on a shoot. She disrespected everyone from people in production to other model. Her attitude was discusting. Walked away shocked from the wannabe diva. Can't stand her

Bad CDC Data May Have Skewed Research
They might be zombies.
A commonly used database run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is fraught with serious errors, some of which indicate that patients were impossibly pronounced dead in the emergency department, but then intubated and admitted to the intensive care unit the same day, according to a Loma Linda University report.
In fact, the study, which looked at 10 years' worth of CDC data, found that one in four emergency room patients who were reported as being intubated—which in virtually all cases would be followed by death, admission to a critical care unit, transfer to another facility, or transfer to surgery or a catheterization lab—was instead reportedly discharged or referred to a non-critical care bed.
"A patient who is having a piece of plastic inserted down their windpipe is very, very sick," says Steven Green, MD, Loma Linda University School of Medicine professor in California and the author of an Annals of Emergency Medicinestudy documenting the inconsistencies. "These aren't the kind of patients, except in very rare situations, who would be discharged from the hospital."

What type of background do I need to apply?
Miami Ad School Frequently Asked Questions
Within any creative environment there needs to be a diverse group of people that feed off of each other and gain inspiration. Miami Ad School is not any different. Prior schooling is not required but 92% of our students have their bachelor's degree or some prior college experience. Some even have their master's or a law degree- the two most important qualities that an applicant must posses are creativity and the desire to work hard.
A lot of students studied communications, marketing or advertising in college. They had one, maybe two creative classes and throughout their circles, were know as the "creative one." They come with a strategy background and Miami Ad School helps them with their creative portfolio. Others studied fine art, graphic design or studio art - they may have a portfolio but need to gear it more towards advertising, to include campaigns. Then there is the group of people who studied what they thought they should, not particularly what they wanted. They may have been engineers or lawyers and one day realized that they needed to do something creative with their lives.
Because our students had different majors and grew up in places all over the world, brainstorming becomes a learning experience in itself and new, fresh ideas can emerge. Interested in the school? Set up a visit so you can see the type of students who attend firsthand. Know someone who wants to apply? Forward them this story. If you have any questions, contact the admissions advisor in the location of your choice, or write it below in the comments!

A NEW play space is just the beginning for the revamped Bendigo Botanical Gardens in White Hills.
After opening on the 23rd of December, the playground and secret garden have been used by countless children.
Project manager Brad Crome says the developments were created to get people outside rather than sitting inside on the couch.
We've included a secret garden that is designed to get kids engaged with nature and play with the different elements
He said the improvements would encourage families to be active and to enjoy the outdoors.
"We've included a secret garden that is designed to get kids engaged with nature and play with the different elements," he said.
"Our biggest user group is young families and we want to introduce them to this great garden."
Along with the new play space, the City of Greater Bendigo Council is trialing extended opening hours.
The Public Space Design team and Parks and Natural Reserves team are working to make a more usable space for the community.
Parks and Natural Reserves manager Simon Harrison said extending the opening hours would make it easier for people to access this iconic part of Bendigo.
The gates will be open from 7.30am and close at 9pm each day, including public holidays.
"The gardens are a popular attraction for young and old and are an ideal place for gardening enthusiasts, families and a variety of recreational activities," Mr Harrison said.
Maureen Symons, a White Hills resident for 45 years, said she was pleased with the changes being made to the local gardens.
"There's something here now to keep the kids occupied," she said.

Arian Foster is listed as probable heading into Sunday's game between the Houston Texans and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Foster had to leave practice Wednesday after coming down with an illness, but he returned to be a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday. He is not expected to be limited in any way for Week 2.
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners can start Foster with confidence this week, just as they would any other week. He is arguably the best player in fantasy football for a very good reason, and this week's game against an iffy Jags run defense is particularly enticing. Unless something happens between now and game time, there is nothing to worry about.
For more on the Texans, head over to Battle Red Blog and SB Nation Houston. For more fantasy info, check out the SB Nation Fantasy War Room 4-8:30pm ET Monday through Friday and 8am to 1pm on Sunday. Check out SB Nation's own Fantasy Football game, Pick 6!

Study: Wealth Gap Between Whites and Minorities at Highest Recorded LevelBy Daniel Cherry | Published 19 Sep 2011 09:24am |
The wealth gap between whites and minorities continues to widen in the U.S. MPB's Daniel Cherry reports why wealth is getting more difficult to obtain for some and what impact that's having in Mississipppi.
The average wealth for a white family is 20 times more than an African American family. In other words, the Pew Research Center says the average net worth of a white household is 113 thousand dollars....a black household is only worth 56 hundred dollars. Rakesh Kochhar is a researcher with Pew. He explains why.
"It was principally the collapse of the housing market that drove down the wealth of minority households who are much more dependent than white households on home equity as a source of wealth."
Mississippi hasn't been immune to the housing market collapse. Home prices fell about 23 percent for the first quarter of this year for the Gulfport/Biloxi area...the largest drop in the nation. Mark McComb is the Director of the Center for Economic Research and Analysis at Mississippi College.
"People had thought before the Great Recession that perhaps there was a way through things, venues like the improvement in education, higher graduation rates for people of color and minorities, that, that would give them, if you will, the ticket into the American mainstream ability to accumulate capital."
McComb says confidence of closing the wealth gap is fading. The most bankruptcies now are among college graduates. Something McComb says shows higher education is getting out of reach for poorer families.
"Folks that would have chosen some improvement opportunity in various forms of education, are going to have to opt not to do that. Then, you're right back into that cycle. That means they're not getting skilled for income improvements in the future and so on."
McComb says the recession's impact on Mississippi was comparatively low considering the state's high poverty rate and an already wide wealth gap.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Student artwork from across the region was honored this morning at Youngstown State University as part of the northeastern Ohio scholastic art awards exhibition. It's the largest and most comprehensive student art competition in the country. Saturday morning, some top contenders in the Valley were honored.
Joyce Mistovich, co-chair of the event, said it provides an opportunity to showcase various types of art.
"When we get to see the work, we're so excited sometimes we just feel like we want to jump up and down and look at the show. But the most exciting part of it is at the end when it's all put together, the sculptures, the two dimensional pieces, and we take a look at the entire Bliss hall gallery," Mistovich said.The exhibit runs through Jan. 30th The Gallery is open weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Plesk - Data Transfer Statistics SMTP IN and Out
Hi all
Just trying to understand the Data Transfer Statistics for Parallels Plesk Report, under the SMTP stats we have:
Total: 1918.40 MB
In: 1 887.07 MB
Out: 31.32 MB
What is Incoming SMTP traffic? Is that traffic sent to the SMTP server by mail clients? Does that include localhost SMTP transfers between the MTA and SpamAssasin?
Although I am familiar with servers I would rather have root access rather than a control panel but as I don't my hands are tied to what the control panel says.
Thanks all
Matt Houldsworth

Hey dudes and dudettes! Today I'm trying something a little different and having a guest post. Who doesn't like finding a new and interesting blog to follow?
Today's post comes c/o Jenna Longoria: a writer, yogi, and teacher, with an incurable case of wanderlust. You can read more about her tales of expat living, teaching, and tramping at Nomad Notions.
Check it out:
Bad relationships. We have all had them. And if you say you haven't, you are a liar.
You know the type. Half the time things are going great. Your loved one and you share tender moments, a nice laugh, have a good week or two. And then ^#%265*@*@#! A fight. An argument. Moments that are close to hatred. That make you ask "who the hell is this person, and why am I with them?". You contemplate leaving. Envision yourself walking away from the chaos and pulling yourself away from the black hole that will eventually suck the life out of you if you don't escape soon. BUT then…..Things get better again! You "make up", and laugh about things. You are so encapsulated by each other's love that damn, what WAS it that you were even fighting about again???
By this point guy or doll, you are stuck in One. Big. Vicious. Cycle.
Well, this type of relationship is the closest metaphor for what it is like teaching my Kindergarten class in Honduras.
We start off the day on a good note, they are full of energy, and soak up the lessons like a sponge. We share laughs, sing a song or two, do some coloring, and life is good. But then lunch rolls around, and consequently with this the heat. And we have no A.C. or fan. At this point, they turn into little monsters. They will not listen to me even if I speak in Spanish. All they want is water, or to be outside in the breeze. And damn! You can't blame them! It gets more than uncomfortably hot in our room. Today, when they went to the bathroom, I noticed they all came back soaking wet. The poor things were splashing their whole bodies with water from the sinks to cool off.
So how is this "little monster" behavior you ask? Well, at this point they start to yell, and scream, and jump all around and not listen to ANYTHING I am saying. There are no words that can explain the headache, frustration, and most importantly, the feeling of defeat.
Today, I had to get the Principal to come in and give them a stern speech in Spanish. They call the Principal "Doctora", and the little ones literally think she is a medicine Doctor. In her speech, she told them that if they didn't behave they would get shots. I am not opposed to this scare tactic at all. Go for it I say!
When the end of the day rolls around, I think to myself "Why am I doing this? This is awful!!" . But then…
It is time to go home, they all give me hugs and smiles as they walk out the door with their cute little backpacks and lunch bags, and I remember why.
But I'm sure I will not be feeling this way after lunch tomorrow…
A woman sells tajadas in Santa Rosa, Honduras.
Thanks again to Jenna for reminding us all of the love/hate relationship we have with some of our students! If you're interested in doing a guest post as well, shoot me an e-mail — pollyheathrussia@gmail!

Welcome to the DARPA Open Catalog, which contains a curated list of DARPA-sponsored software and peer-reviewed publications. DARPA sponsors fundamental and applied research in a variety of areas including data science, cyber, anomaly detection, etc., which may lead to experimental results and reusable technology designed to benefit multiple government domains.
The DARPA Open Catalog organizes publicly releasable material from DARPA programs. DARPA has an open strategy to help increase the impact of government investments.
DARPA is interested in building communities around government-funded software and research. If the R&D community shows sufficient interest, DARPA will continue to make available information generated by DARPA programs, including software, publications, data, and experimental results.
The table on this page lists the programs currently participating in the catalog.

|DARPA Program
|The Active Authentication (AA) program seeks to develop novel ways of validating the identity of computer users by focusing on the unique aspects of individuals through software-based biometrics. Biometrics are defined as the characteristics used to recognize individuals based on one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. This program is focused on behavioral biometrics.
|The Anomaly Detection at Multiple Scales (ADAMS) program seeks to create, adapt and apply technology to anomaly characterization and detection in massive data sets. Anomalies in data cue the collection of additional, actionable information in a wide variety of real world contexts.
|The Automated Program Analysis for Cybersecurity (APAC) program aims to address the challenge of timely and robust security validation of mobile apps by first defining security properties to be measured against and then developing automated tools to perform the measuring. APAC draws heavily from the field of formal-methods program analysis (theorem proving, logic and machine proofing) to keep malicious code out of DoD Android-based application marketplaces. APAC seeks to apply recent research breakthroughs in this field in an attempt to scale DoD's program analysis capability to a level never before achieved with an automated solution.
|The objective of the Binary Executable Transforms (BET) program is to produce revolutionary technologies for analyzing executable binaries to identify and extract executable components. Executable components are defined as a fully encapsulated set of subroutines, data structures, objects and global variables that accomplish a particular function, along with metadata documenting the component's arguments and any system libraries used. Specifically, BET performers are conducting innovative research in: • Automatically analyzing binaries and identifying functional components. • Automatically slicing and extracting identified functionality into reusable components with well-defined inputs and outputs. • Combining static and dynamic binary analysis to improve understanding of binary executables. • Exploring formal verification methods to prove functional component properties. • Developing intermediate representation language to support program slicing. • Developing technologies to enable exploration and research for the BET program.
|The Broad Operational Language Translation (BOLT) program is aimed at enabling communication with non-English-speaking populations and identifying important information in foreign-language sources by: 1) allowing English-speakers to understand foreign-language sources of all genres, including chat, messaging and informal conversation; 2) providing English-speakers the ability to quickly identify targeted information in foreign-language sources using natural-language queries; and 3) enabling multi-turn communication in text and speech with non-English speakers. If successful, BOLT would deliver all capabilities free from domain or genre limitations.
|The Cyber Fast Track (CFT) program sought revolutionary advances in cyber science, devices, and systems through low-cost, quick-turnaround projects. To achieve this, CFT engaged a novel performer base many of whom were new to government contracting. From August 2011 to April 2013 the program attracted 550 proposal submissions, of which 90 percent were from performers that had never previously worked with the government, and awarded 135 contracts.
|The Clean-Slate Design of Resilient, Adaptive, Secure Hosts (CRASH) program is focused on the design of new computer systems that are highly resistant to cyberattack, can adapt after a successful attack to continue rendering useful services, learn from previous attacks how to guard against and cope with future attacks, and can repair themselves after attacks have succeeded. This program addresses computer architectures from processors and instruction sets, includes operating systems and programming languages, and extends up to application level tools.
|Crowd Sourced Formal Verification (CSFV) is a DARPA program that aims to investigate whether large numbers of non-experts can perform formal verification faster and more cost-effectively than conventional processes. The goal is to transform verification into a more accessible task by creating fun, intuitive games that reflect formal verification problems. Playing the games would effectively help software verification tools complete corresponding formal verification proofs.
|Cyber Defense (CyberGenome)
|The Cyber Defense Program is developing the core computing and networking technologies required to protect DoD's information, information infrastructure, and mission-critical information systems. This includes new cyber-forensic techniques to automate the discovery, identification, and characterization of malware variants and thereby accelerate the development of effective responses.
|The Detection and Computational Analysis of Psychological Signals (DCAPS) program aims to develop novel analytical tools to assess psychological status of warfighters in the hopes of improving psychological health awareness and enabling them to seek timely help. DCAPS tools will be developed to analyze patterns in everyday behaviors to detect subtle changes associated with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and suicidal ideation. In particular, DCAPS hopes to advance the state-of-the-art in extraction and analysis of 'honest signals' from a wide variety of sensory data inherent in daily social interactions. DCAPS is not aimed at providing an exact diagnosis, but at providing a general metric of psychological health.
|Automated, deep natural-language processing (NLP) technology may hold a solution for more efficiently processing text information and enabling understanding connections in text that might not be readily apparent to humans. DARPA created the Deep Exploration and Filtering of Text (DEFT) program to harness the power of NLP. Sophisticated artificial intelligence of this nature has the potential to enable defense analysts to efficiently investigate orders of magnitude more documents, which would enable discovery of implicitly expressed, actionable information within those documents.
|DARPA created the ENGAGE program to enable the development of education and training systems that are better, faster, continuously optimized, and massively scalable. ENGAGE is exploring software- and data-intensive education and training methods that harness the power of large user populations to optimize instruction.
|The FLASHLIGHT program seeks to prevent data exfiltration and information leakage through the use of a hardened audit and inspection capability that attests to the integrity and legitimacy of data leaving a network enclave.
|The High-Assurance Cyber Military Systems (HACMS) program goal is to create technology for the construction of high-assurance cyber-physical systems, where high assurance is defined to mean functionally correct and satisfying appropriate safety and security properties. Key technologies include interactive software synthesis systems, verification tools, and specification languages.
|The Mission-oriented Resilient Clouds (MRC) program is addressing some of the security challenges facing cloud computing by developing technologies to detect, diagnose and respond to attacks in the cloud, with the goal of effectively building a 'community health system' for the cloud. MRC is also developing technologies intended to enable missions that are supported by cloud computing and other networked systems to continue functioning while under cyberattack.
|DARPA's Programming Computation on Encrypted Data (PROCEED) program is a research effort that seeks to develop methods that allow computing with encrypted data without first decrypting that data, making it possible to compute more securely in untrusted environments.
|The SAFER program seeks to develop technology to enable safe, resilient communications over the Internet, particularly in situations in which third parties attempt to discover the identity or location of the end users, or block communications. The program also seeks to provide the technological quality of service required to support applications such as electronic mail, instant messaging, voice over IP, and other media that promote effective communication.
|The general goal of the Social Media in Strategic Communication (SMISC) program is to develop a new science of social networks built on an emerging technology base. Through the program, DARPA seeks to develop tools to support the efforts of human operators to counter misinformation or deception campaigns with truthful information.
|XDATA is developing an open source software library for big data to help overcome the challenges of effectively scaling to modern data volume and characteristics. The program is developing the tools and techniques to process and analyze large sets of imperfect, incomplete data. Its programs and publications focus on the areas of analytics, visualization, and infrastructure to efficiently fuse, analyze and disseminate these large volumes of data.

From Montana State Sports Information Office:
DeNarius McGhee's string of 40 consecutive starts as MontanaState's quarterback will end Saturday. The senior from Euless, Tex., suffered aseparated shoulder in Saturday's game at SMU and is expected to return sometimein October. Sophomore Jake Bleskin from Great Falls is listed as the startingquarterback for this week's game with Colorado Mesa.

I know that many of you are going to disagree strongly with me, but I still think the Robin Lopez should be the starting Center for the Suns.
Right, so now you're asking what I'm smoking, but seriously, hear me out on this.
First off, we all know that Gortat has played starters minutes for the Suns for weeks (almost months). It hasn't mattered that he's been coming off the bench to do it, but the minutes he's put in has been clearly the bulk. Noone can argue with that.
Second, Gortat has been the link between the starting group and the role playing bench. Take for example the latest game against Dallas, forget that the Suns couldn't hit from behind the arc, Gortat had a typical game, 20/15/3 blocks. But the bench was completely ineffective. They had no presence in the middle to allow the shooters from the bench to hit from the outside (it also doesn't help that Duds started). Gortat coming off the bench allows Robin to work some time against the opponents bigs, not for Robin's benefit, but for Gortat so that when he comes in with fresh legs, the other big is slowed down a bit (ok, so it's only a little bit because Robin ain't doin so hot), and if the other team brings in their second stringer, we all know Gortat is a better C than every second stringer out there, right?
I guess the best thing I can say about why Gortat should not start is the same reason why Dudley shouldn't start either. Neither of them are PREMIERE talents. They're GREAT role players who are MUCH better than any 2nd string player out there. But if we use their minutes against 1st stringers, we waste to many of their minutes. Nash and Hill make Carter, Lopez, and Frye better players and they make Dudley and Gortat better players. But Brooks (and Dragic when we had him) can't make the same leap for Carter and Lopez. But when Dudley and Gortat play with Brooks, Warrick, and **whoever else** Gortat and Dudz make a big enough effort to bring the benches effort up. It's a rotation that has worked well in the past to give us a decent shot at winning games by being fresh at the end of the game. Maybe there's more to it than that and maybe someone can expand on it.

The Hey Day Guide: Junior Edition
Yesterday, seniors got the low down on their role in Hey Day 2010. But, Hey Day is really all about the junior class, after all. Here's a quick breakdown of what's going for the Class of 2011 on this Penn-tastic day.
BEFORE FRIDAY All juniors who want to participate in the Hey Day Picnic and Procession must sign the Hey Day Pledge. We're all for the class board's efforts to make HeySAFE happen, but enforcing this one seems pretty tough.
THURSDAY, 1-7 pm Hey Day packages are on sale on the second floor of Houston. $15 buys you this shirt. $30 and you get a styrofoam hat, cane and sunglasses. Those extra $15 are totally worth the 50+ Facebook photos of you in Hey Day attire.
FRIDAY, 11 am-2pm Hey Day Picnic @ High Rise Field. You can also redeem your hat, cane and sunglasses during this time. Drunkenness, excessive photos, and freshman hall mate reunions are sure to ensue.
FRIDAY, 2:15-2:45 pm Hey Day Procession. This year's path starts at the High Rise fields and ends at College Hall, where Amy G will speak. Like Convocation, but without the bomb desserts.
FRIDAY, post 3 pm Nap. Rally.

Hi Caren . . . thanks for visiting and following my blog . . . I'm following you back . . . nice to meet you too :-)ReplyDelete
After a lifetime of exclusively owning dogs, we are slowly taking in a neighborhood stray cat that we call Willie Wonka. The neighborhood is loaded with strays, but this is the one who came to us . . . like a little furry gift!
Have an awesome weekend . . . Gina
. . . and many more!
@Mr.Puddy I am soooo happy you enjoyed this! Yep I bet you would get more treats if you could sing too!ReplyDelete

@Rumblepurr oh technicalities, technicalities!!! lolReplyDelete
Ready for this? Up until I was age 8 (I was not raised religious) my parents used to hang stockings and gave us presents on Christmas NOT Chanukah...I know, weird for Jewish kids! We never grew up with our religion!
Also...my first husband was Catholic and my non-Jewish friends used to tease me saying I decorated our home for Christmas MORE than they did! I had anything and everything!!! Bobo was alive then and he used to love the Christmas tree...(it is mentioned in my blog coming up this Tuesday)
My Dad used to take us for rides to see the lights. I think Christmas is a magical time of year, I love the lights, music, traditions...it is a beautiful holiday even if it isn't exclusively mine!
Ok so CODY doesn't know about it but Bobo did! xoxoxoxo
Hi Gina it is so nice to meet you and thanks for following me as well! I will have to check out the other blogs of yours that I may not be following (yet).ReplyDelete
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that the little kitty that you call "Willie Wonka" (too cute!!!) is wiggling his way into your heart and home...that is how cats "happen" to us...they FIND us and once you have a cat you will be hooked!!!
Doggies are wonderful too but kitties have a most incredible way of finding US!!
I am soooooo happy for you and please keep me updated or be sure to write about him on one of your blogs!!

The only thing that distracted my cat from the snow falling outside (a rare occourance around here) was the jingle cats singing "dreaming of a white christmas".ReplyDelete
That was great. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing the video with us. Do bring your wild Sheltie brother over when U come to snuggle Cody. He can play outside with Fenris.ReplyDelete
@igmugleza where are you that snow "is a rare occurrence" you lucky person!!ReplyDelete
@AFSS you are welcome!! Oh ok that is a great idea!!! I will bring my wild Sheltie brother, he would LOVE to play with Fenris!! xoxoxo Love, CodyReplyDelete

Loveland scores ACE
LOVELAND - Loveland and Northern Colorado can finally celebrate - and breathe a sigh of relief: The city has officially landed the Aerospace and Clean Energy Manufacturing and Innovation Park following a six-month-long selection process.
The planned research-and-development center to be located at the former Agilent Technologies site on 14th Street in Loveland is expected to house 70-plus companies and eventually create an estimated 10,000 jobs.
The concept of the ACE park originated from a December 2010 agreement between the Colorado Association for Manufacturing and Technology, a statewide manufacturing assistance center, and NASA, the federal space agency. ACE is the centerpiece of an initiative to boost the state's already considerable clean-energy and aerospace industries.
Calls for site proposals attracted about 40 bids from communities up and down the Front Range, but Loveland seemed to gain an edge in wooing CAMT and economic-development officials, not only with the purchase of the former Agilent property but also an avalanche of letters of support from residents and schoolchildren. One endearing Valentine, from a boy named Zachary, seemed to capture the spirit and desire for both Loveland officials and CAMT staff: "Maybe we can get together, and you can interview me so I can support my mom that is in really bad shape please...I'd love for you to join our Loveland community," Zachary wrote.
The love letters made their impression: At a June 9 special meeting of the Loveland city council, CAMT staff announced that the group has selected United Properties, a Minnesota-based developer with offices in Denver, to develop the ACE park on the 167-acre former Agilent parcel, officially confirming the city's selection.
Loveland Mayor Cecil Gutierrez and city officials, state representatives and U.S. Congressional staff in attendance were emphatic with their gratitude, but also had plenty of questions about how - and when - the next phases of development will occur.
Recruiting tenants
Elaine Thorndike, CAMT CEO, said half a dozen companies have already written letters of interest and another 20 potential clients have also been identified. The development team, consisting of CAMT and United Properties staff, is recruiting tenants who have product prototypes or who are looking to accelerate commercialization. By targeting this class of enterprises, the ACE park should fill a gap in the region between incubator organizations and established tech businesses.
The development team will meet twice a week over the next 60 days to develop a draft business plan, Thorndike said, and bring interested companies on tours of the site, which includes 811,000 square feet of space in four buildings. Initial plans for the project include renovating two 50,000-square-foot buildings to serve as labs for a number of ACE companies.
"The primary draw will be the shared services that we can put in the buildings," Thorndike said, adding that CAMT hopes to receive donated equipment from other federal labs.
Cynthia Christie, CAMT's representative with an office on Colorado State University campus, has helped identify tenants among local companies looking to expand. Christie said she has worked closely with the Northern Colorado Economic Development Corp. and Upstate Colorado Economic Development to connect with businesses in Larimer and Weld counties.
Land prep first step
In addition to lining up tenants, the development team may also need to address or mitigate several environmental issues, including potential groundwater contamination, existing waste piles and asbestos, before opening up the property.
Officials from United Properties said the family-owned company, which was founded in 1916 to manage real estate holdings of Hamms Brewing Co., has plenty of experience preparing and managing sites with pollution or contamination factors.
"It's not unusual. It's the norm rather than the exception," United president Frank Dutke said during the city council meeting.
Loveland city officials have already spent roughly $250,000 completing due diligence studies for the site and did not find any "earth-shattering" problems, according to Betsey Hale, city business development manager. The development team will review the studies as part of the plans for the next two months.
Kevin Kelley, a Denver-based United vice president who will head the company's efforts on the ACE park, said he also expected few major roadblocks that could delay development.
"Those buildings were well-built and well-maintained," Kelley said, "It would be my preference to repopulate them (first), and then we could have new buildings."
United has also frequently invested in community arts and education programs, through its related Pohland Foundation, and Hale and others said Loveland is hopeful the company will similarly support the city.
"The fit with our (artistic) creatives in Loveland is a great one," Hale said. "They're also really big in community giving, with lots of scholarship programs."
The big question: When?
Pending review of the studies, the city, which has agreed to purchase the 300-plus acre site from Agilent for $5.8 million, will sell the park parcel to the development team while retaining an additional 127 acres as city open space.
Agilent, which will still have roughly 350 employees in one building on campus, has agreed to work with the city to prepare the site for transfer to the developer, added Loveland city manager Bill Cahill.
While waiting for the acquisition papers to be signed and due diligence to be completed, CAMT and United officials aren't ready to set a timeline for opening the site, although a CAMT press release said the ACE initiative should be adding 10,000 new jobs in Loveland and elsewhere in the state within five years. Members of the development team declined to say when businesses might move into the ACE park, or when new job opportunities would be available, after being asked by Mayor Gutierrez.
Among the signs of the high anticipation for the site, Larimer County Commissioner Tom Donnelly said the county Workforce Center has already received 2,000 applications from people looking for work at the ACE park.

Obamacare: When Obama LIKES Imposing Higher Costs on 'The Poor'
31 Dec 2010 9:05 pm Warner Todd Huston
My friend George Scoville, who works for the CATO Institute, asked a question that really does go to show the left's hypocrisy. This time the question reveals a "feature" of Obamacare that tends to expose hypocrisy so large that an ambulance could drive through it. (See how I said "ambulance" there to keep with the whole medical theme?)
Scoville was issued a letter from his insurance carrier that informed him that new government regulations was forcing them to eliminate a whole bunch of non-prescription items that used to be eligible to …

The Year in Wasteful Spending
31 Dec 2010 7:05 pm TrogloPundit
BankruptingAmerica.org finished their "Year in Wasteful Spending" series today with entries #3 through #1. Links to the whole series:
My favorite is #5:
Welfare isn't what it used to be. $69 million of California's welfare dollars were accessed through the state-issued debit cards outside of the state. Where was the money spent? Vegas baby! $11.8 million in cash benefits were withdrawn in Sin City.
Remember: the bigger the system, the more inefficient the system becomes. Our federal government is very, very big, and it's getting bigger all the time.

Jamestown unearths 400-year-old pipes for patrons
RICHMOND, Va. – Archeologists at Jamestown have unearthed a trove of tobacco pipes personalized for a who's who of early 17th century colonial and British elites, underscoring the importance of tobacco to North America's first permanent English settlement.
Naturally, the rabidly right-wing Associated Press ignores this evidence of social and cultural evil and couches the story as some sort of important historical find:
The white clay pipes — actually, castoffs likely rejected during manufacturing — were crafted between 1608 and 1610 and bear the names of …

Planned Parenthood: Corrupting the Kids It Doesn't Kill
31 Dec 2010 2:09 pm Dave Blount
The abortion mill Planned Parenthood is raking in taxpayer money to the tune of $363.2 million per year, but at least it's performing useful services. In addition to killing inconvenient babies in numbers that would put Adolf Eichmann to shame, it's launching a new initiative to counsel parents on how to encourage their children to have sex.
Planned Parenthood's Web site announced the group is preparing to launch a nationwide "social change initiative" to end the "stigma and shame about sex" in American culture.

Wind-Powered Scotland Needs Electricity From Nuclear France
31 Dec 2010 2:03 pm Dave Blount
Things have reached a pretty pass when France has to rescue Britons from the mess their moonbattery has gotten them into.
Scotland's wind farms are unable to cope with the freezing weather conditions — grinding to a halt at a time when electricity demand is at a peak, forcing the country to rely on power generated by French nuclear plants.
Output from major wind farms fell to as low as 2.5 per cent of their potential generation capacity during the cold snap as power demand rose to close to the highest level …

MTV's Teen Abortion Sales Pitch: It's Just "A Ball of Cells"
31 Dec 2010 11:59 am Lori Ziganto
In July of this year, leftist Feminists were openly, and proudly, rooting for an abortion to be portrayed on prime-time television. And in April of this year, leftist Feminists like Jessica Valenti of Feministing were grossly bemoaning the fact that Mtv's show, 16 and Pregnant, did not portray any teenage girls having abortions. They wanted sixteen year old girls to have abortions. On television. Way to be pro-woman and For The Children ™, faux feminists! By For The Children, I of course mean totally not at …

2010: The Entertainment Industry's PC Year in Review
31 Dec 2010 11:15 am Warner Todd Huston
For the entertainment industry's practitioners of political correctness, 2010 was another banner year. Even as conservatives have made deserved headway in La La Land and other areas of the industry, there still aren't enough conservatives to bring much needed patriotism, logic, and common sense to the scene. Sadly, the industry is still filled with those slavishly dedicated to anti-American tropes, left-wing blather, and self-hatred. From comic books, to music, to radio, TV and movies, PCism still runs rampant.
Without further ado, here are just a few examples of PCism from 2010 …

Wa Post Editorialist Admires Members of Taliban's Armies, Are Just as Good as U.S. Soldiers
31 Dec 2010 11:14 am Warner Todd Huston
Does anyone on the left understand right and wrong? Do any of them understand that some things humans do are morally reprehensible or is everything relative? If we could find one that understands it, it certainly won't be Colman McCarthy. We can say this because this week the former Washington Post columnist and current director for the farcical Washington-based "Center for Teaching Peace" said that he "admires" people who "join armies" and, revealing his moral ignorance, he said he even admires those that join the Taliban's "army."

Like most of the American mass media, you have framed the Lorena L. Bobbitt affair as an issue of penile mutilation. You ignore the social context of Lorena Bobbitt's actions.

– Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household
– Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood.

We knew it was dangerous because science said so. Now, science says otherwise.

It was dangerous. Now it isn't. Thanks, science, for clearing that up.
Saccharin was first listed as a hazardous waste in 1980 after studies in rats showed the sweetener caused higher rates of bladder cancer. The EPA subsequently determined it to be a "potential human carcinogen". Yet two decades later, the National Toxicology Program and International Agency for Research on Cancer reversed that classification after scientists failed to link saccharin consumption to cancer in humans.
Saccharin was removed from their listings of hazardous substances. The EPA has now followed suit…

If there never was a story that explains how unions are really little else but a criminal extortion racket, the story by James Ahearn in the New Jersey Began Record helps explain it for us.

Foreclosures to Surge in 2011!

Jessica Chastain Remembers OTHELLO Co-Star Philip Seymour Hoffman
Recent Broadway headliner and popular film star Jessica Chastain shares her sorrow over the shocking death of her former co-star Philip Seymour Hoffman byway of a new Facebook posting recounting their time spent together in OTHELLO in 2009.
Chastain starred with Hoffman in a 2009 Public Theater production of William Shakespeare's classic tragedy OTHELLO and shared some sage words from the drama as well as her own acknowledgement of his passing this weekend in an emotional social media post now available to view.
Chastain writes, "Phil was kind and humble. A huge talent was lost. My love and prayers go out to his family. It's so terribly sad. xxjes
The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree,
Sing all a green willow.
Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knee,
Sing willow, willow, willow.
The fresh streams ran by her, and murmur'd her moans.
Sing willow, willow, willow.
Her salt tears fell from her, and soften'd the stones.
Sing willow, willow, willow.

Tablet and e-reader ownership doubled this holiday season. Now almost 30% of American adults own one, and they're not just playing games and listening to music. They're consuming content – a lot of content. Consider this:
In a study by Online Publishers Association (OPA), 87% of U.S. tablet users say they access content and information on their devices.
That's a huge number of potential customers looking for relevant, useful content – oblige them! Before we get ahead of ourselves, though, you must realize that these tablet users prefer a certain type of content and have certain ways with which they like to consume it. You've got to tell your story to match what they're looking for – here are five tips to get you started:
More news content. Two-thirds of tablet users have news apps. 53% of users consume news on their tablet daily. And 78% of users read more news content on their tablet than they did before they owned one. Tablets are, more than anything, a news consumption device. To adapt, you need to get in the news and send out news releases with optimized keywords.
More video. Because of the bigger screen (as compared to smartphones), users are consuming more video. This has helped TV show, movie, and even video ad consumption. It can help you, too. Create product, tutorial and testimonial videos that'll grab people's attention and generate buzz. These devices were made for that – and these users are practically asking for it.
More long-form content. People use their tablets and e-readers multiple times per day. The average daily use of an iPad is 90 minutes. Users are more apt to consume longer content (like video) – from start to finish – than any other device. So use that extra time wisely and engage your audience with more information, better examples and greater depth.
More family-focused content. Tablet use is growing among women (43%), e-reader use is dominated by women (61%), and children everywhere want to get in the mix too. Before our eyes, these devices are being used by the family. Your content needs to speak to that by including fun, quick-and-easy copy and more visuals.
More attention to e-commerce. Users who browse e-commerce websites on tablets are more likely to make purchases than other online shoppers. On these devices, people are looking for your content and consuming it start to finish. Once you have them, you've got to encourage a purchase with a strong call to action. That's the whole point, right?
*Our Vocus Marketing suite is available for tablets, too., allowing you to market and grow your business around the clock. Learn more about Vocus Marketing software here.

BOARDMAN TOWNSHIP, Ohio - A Youngstown man is charged with possession with intent to distribute heroin after two separate incidents in the township involving the smell of marijuana and the seizure of heroin and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
On February 13, police found baggies of marijuana and $111,000 worth of money separated by rubber bands in $1,000 bundles in a rental car being driven by Andre M. Little, 27.
Little and his two passengers denied ownership of the money, were each issued citations for possesion of marijuana and released on scene.
Four nights later on February 17 at 11:00 p.m., police were called to the Days Inn Motel in Boardman where Little previously told them he had rented a room.
A hotel manager reported a marijuana smell coming from a room at the motel. After several attempts by police and the manager to contact occupants in the room, the manager evicted the occupants, per hotel policy, and granted police entrance to the room using a master key.
Police found a plastic bag containing 1,726.2 grams of heroin and a large, undetermined amount of money bundled in $1,000 increments.
Two hours later, Little attempted to enter the motel room where police had seized the drugs and money and was arrested along with a female companion.
A search warrant issued that same morning uncovered a laptop computer and two Moneygram orders to a car rental agency.
Little, who has a history of heroin possesion in Mahoning County, is currently in custody of the Mahoning County Jail and due back in court March 15.

|Response to Patrick Johnson
Mr. Patrick Johnson said in his well written letter in the September 12 issue of The Falmouth Outlook that I wrote articles filled with bigotry and hate. I know of no one whom I hate; therefore, it is difficult for me to understand this charge. However, I have been outspoken concerning some social issues in our society that are detrimental to our nation's long term viability, and persons involved in these practices could easily perceive that I hate them. Not so, I hate their practices but love them as persons and pray for them and for you as well, Mr. Johnson.

SPEEDWAY: Pawlicki inspires Wolves to last-gasp win at Swindon
12:06pm Sunday 15th June 2014 in Sport
SWINDON restricted world champion Tai Woofinden to just seven points at the Abbey Stadium yet somehow managed to lose to a visiting Wolves side after at one stage leading by 14 points.
Sky Sports Elite League
Swindon Robins 46
Wolverhampton 47
Piotr Pawlicki was the hero for Wolves, winning his last three races; the turning point came in Heat 10 when Pawlicki, on a double-points tactical ride, led the visitors to an 8-1 victory and he then combined with Woofinden to earn a 4-2 advantage in the last-heat decider which snatched victory for the visitors by 47-46.
With a 14-point lead after nine races, the Robins looked set to for a comfortable success yet they collapsed in the closing stages.
It was a hugely disappointing result for Alun Rossiter's men and he was left 'shell shocked' by the defeat.
Rossiter said: "I don't know what happened at all, it was just a complete and utter collapse.
"We started well and looked to be in a good position, then that 8-1 gave them a big boost but we should have easily had enough in the engine room to still come away with the win."
Simon Gustafsson continued his promising run of form to lead the Robins in spectacular style, yet he just missed out on a maximum as he was left trailing in Heat 15.
Skipper Troy Batchelor also put in a strong showing, although he did fade in the latter stages after starting his night with two race wins.
Down at reserve Steve Worrall again impressed while Nathan Greaves added an encouraging 3+2 after some determined racing.
Yet heat leader duo Peter Kildemand and Nick Morris both struggled, and with guest David Bellego failing to score Swindon were narrowly outdone by their inspired opponents.
Swindon: Simon Gustafsson 12, Troy Batchelor 10+1, Steve Worrall 10, Peter Kildemand 6+1, Nick Morris 5+1, Nathan Greaves 3+2, David Bellego 0
Wolverhampton: Piotr Pawlicki 14, Joe Jacobs 8+1, Tai Woffinden 7+1, Ty Proctor 6+1, Jacob Thorssell 6+1, Ricky Wells 5+2, Lewis Rose 1+1
Elite League points: Swindon 0 Wolverhampton 3

What if the top half of the ACC folds into the SEC, and the bottom half of the remaining ACC replenishes the conference's ranks with up and coming mid majors like Troy?
So for instance, say Florida State, Miami, Georgia Tech/Clemson and Va Tech get bumped to the SEC and make them a 16 team conference. Additionally, say Boston College pulled a shocker and got elected to the Big 10.
That'd leave Wake Forest, Virginia, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Maryland, Duke, and GT/Clemson. So thats 7 teams, and if the ACC wanted to keep pace with the 16 team big boys, they'd have to raid the cupboards of other conferences. I can see them abandoning the coastal footprint and snatching up West Virginia, but they'd still need 7 more. USF has proven they can run with the big boys (beat FSU), East Carolina would be appealing, Middle Tennessee topped Maryland, Louisville would be appealing, Memphis would be a draw if for basketball alone, and then it gets tricky for another team in that southeastern footprint... maybe stretch west for a USM or Tulane, or approach a team like Navy who is at home in that area in Annapolis. Troy and UCF could top off the deal so your conference would look like this:
Wake Forest
Navy (for sake of conversation)
North Carolina
West Virginia
East Carolina
North Carolina State
I bet that that scenario is highly implausible but it'd be frikkin sweet, plus that footprint isn't too much larger than the Sun Belts now and is smaller than the ACC's currently is. We'd get to maintain our rivalry with Middle Tennessee, enjoy games against larger named programs like NC State and WVa, and still remain completely competitive against even the top of the program. Not to mention a conference like that would deserve every bit as much of a seat at the table of AQ megaconference should there not be a playoff in place by that time. Furthermore, each of these teams could also remain competitive in other sports. Some of the ACC team transfers might moan about playing "lesser competition" but they'd only do that until the new-to-ACC teams beat them a few times (shouldn't take long) and found out how marketable the transfer programs are. Besides, what else are they gonna do?
Say the SEC only seeks to expand to fourteen, they can take GT/Clemson and NC State or something and leave the new ACC I've proposed as a 14 team conference

Relating a group to a specific tag or category?
I am using the most up to date version of WordPress and 1.7 for buddypress. I was curious if there was a way via a plugin or setting to relate a group to a tag or category? I am running a video game site and it would be cool if I created a group for game x that if an article was posted about game x and tagged with the name that it would link the article in the groups activity stream. Or if for example that if there was a Nintendo group and Nintendo category that it would link every post about Nintendo to it.
I see the group tags plugin but not sure this is quite what I'm looking for.

Angola, La.- A piece of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola will soon be on its way to the Smithsonian Museum.
Workers will begin dismantling a prison guard tower on July 8 for transport to the museum. It will take a place in the collection of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. The penitentiary donated the guard tower to the museum.
The 20-foot surveillance tower was built between the 1930's and 1940's.
Museum officials say it will help the museum explore the "complex history of African American oppression and incarceration in the United States."
Angola is one of the largest maximum security prisons in the United States.
