I was having a great time with Nokia Link syncing my photo's and video's to my pc. But after installing PR1.1 on my N9, Nokia Link fails: EDP_FAILED
Reconnecting the phone, restarting the phone and even doing a hard rest on the phone din't bet my N9 to love Nokia Link again.
Connecting my phone still works fine and I can browse the phone as well, so that doesn't seem to be the issue.
Any other suggestions?
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you!
We have got your error report.

Having the similar problem with Mac OsX 10.6.8, "EDP Failed Timeout" with Nokia Link.
Any suggestions?

Hi pketola,
Could you provide detailed description what you have done to get this error?
Could you provide also your sw setup.
We can't reproduce it on our side.
Thank you!

For me, this issue has been resolved. My solution:
I removed all Nokia software I had on my machine. These were Nokia Suite, Nokia Maps loader and Nokia Link. A reboot and reinstall of Nokia Link solved my issues. I have no idea why.

1. Remove earlier Nokia software
2. Reboot Mac
3. Install Nokia link
4. Connect N9 with cable (-> Connnection ok)
5. Start back-up -> Error EDP Failed
When trying to copy photos, there is also error: EDP not found

Hello. I've just solved this on a Mac by deleting every Nokia file in ~/Library (your home's Library). That involved going into Preferences folder, Application Support and Saved State folders and searching for names that contain Nokia or nokia. If that sounds too hard you can always create a separate user and try running Nokia Link as that new user. I've also deleted and replaced the NokiaLink application in /Applications.
06-03-2012 19:48
Just an update. Actually I don't think deleting files actually fixes anything - I've since run into this problem again and have hopefully finally solved it by restoring firmware using Nokia Software Updater (on Windows none the less even though I'm on a Mac!). Reinstalled/refreshed the PR1.2 firmware and it's been smooth since then. Got the error only once and then it disappeared again without even having to unplug the phone (just tried restoring from backup again straight away). Who knows what the cause may be - leftover Mac files maybe? Or just something corrupt in the system somewhere since I've only done over the air updates since PR1.0.

Could you try the latest beta version of Nokia Link from: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-link/download
To download the installer, you need to log-in with the SAME credentials that you use on this Forum..
Do you face the same problem?
Please reply the result.
Best regards,
Nokia Link support team

I have PR1.2 and have had the same problem. Just installed the 1.2.416.4334 NokiaLink beta and restarted, and still have the same problem. Please help. I have never been able to successfully back up my phone, although I can transfer music, photos and videos just fine.
04-07-2012 8:21
Just uploaded the very latest software update to N9 and also Nokia Link.
The backup still doesn't work. Same error message as mentioned above.
Could it be that Nokia Link is not able to create the target directory in Mac?
17-07-2012 23:08
I found a solution for Mac. It is not a problem of the phone, so none of the resets helped. However, what helped is to close the application, then open terminal, go to:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Nokia/DesktopPlatform/
And remove all the files in this directory issuing command: rm *
Then reopen the application and everything is working again. Not sure what those file are though.

As it stands right now, the 2007 Mariners have quite a few holes. From where I'm standing, I see 1B, 2B, LF, DH, 3 Starters, and one long relief spot as the team's problems.
Well, this terrible umpiring job and managing job tonight (Sean White? Really?) has prompted me to throw together a quick 2007 offseason plan to fix the problems so we might not be so terrible in 2008.
Here's how to solve the problems...
- DFA "DH" Jose Vidro. No one will trade for him, you've just got to eat the Salary. As far as I know, the M's are paying $6.5 of it, so that'll count toward the team's total cost.
- Trade 1B Richie Sexson w/$5 million, LHSP Ryan Feierabend, and LHSP Tony Butler to Baltimore for RHSP Hayden Penn. Baltimore is a dumb organization who would take a chance on Richie, and Hayden Penn has crazy good upside.
- Trade LHSP Jarrod Washburn to Toronto for OF Reed Johnson. Toronto could use an extra starter to make them competitive in the east, and they can afford it. Johnson is a good 4th outfielder and can start if need be. Gives us depth, saves us money.
- Trade "LF" Raul Ibanez to Cleveland for LHSP Jeremy Sowers. The Indians seem to have given up on Sowers and Raul seems to be the type of hitter Cleveland likes. They tried to get a platoon left-handed Left Fielder in Dellucci this year, and it didn't really work out for them. Raul has some pop in the cannon as a platoon guy and seems to fit Mark Shapiro's style. Sowers has good upside and could be fixed.
- Promote Wladimir Balentien and make him the everyday DH and get some spot starts in RF. He may not be ready for the show yet, but I believe he's capable of a .260/.330/.470 line next year, which is better than you'll get out of Vidro.
- Start Adam Jones in LF every day. Duh.
- Re-sign Ben Broussard and make him play 1B against every RHP.
- Convert RHP Brandon Morrow and LHP Ryan Rowland-Smith into Starters.
- Promote RHPs Kam Mickolio, Austin Bibens-Dirkx, and Jorge Campillo to the bullpen.
- Sign 1B Kevin Millar to a 1-year, $4 million deal to be Ben Broussard's RH Platoon Partner and bench bat.
C Kenji Johjima ($5.5)
1B Ben Broussard ($5--arbitration)
1B Kevin Millar ($4)
2B Jose Lopez ($3...right?)
SS Yuniesky Betancourt ($4...right?)
3B Adrian Beltre ($11--his contract was backloaded)
LF Adam Jones ($370K)
CF Ichiro ($12--deferred payments)
RF Guillen ($10 is what I'm assuming his new deal is)
DH Wladimir Balentien ($370K)
OF Reed Johnson ($2)
UTIL Willie Bloomquist ($1)
C Jamie Burke ($370K)
SP Felix Hernandez ($400K)
SP Miguel Batista ($8.5)
SP Brandon Morrow ($370K)
SP Ryan Rowland-Smith ($370K)
SP Hayden Penn ($370 K)
CP J.J. Putz ($4)
LHSU Sherrill ($370K)
RHSU Green ($370K)
MR Mickolio ($370K)
MR Bibens-Dirkx ($370K)
MR Eric O'Flaherty ($370K)
LR Jorge Campillo ($370K)
Vidro Money ($5.5)
Sexson Money ($5)
Total cost of team: $85.34 million dollars.
This solves all of the team's problems except for 2B, where we just have to hope Lopez improves. I think in a new year with his brother's death past, he'll come back a little bit. This team also has more depth, as Reed Johnson can start if someone gets hurt, Wlad can move to the OF if needed, Jeremy Sowers is in AAA and Jorge Campillo in long-relief for starters, and it's a cheaper overall team. Hayden Penn will look nice in a future Rotation of Felix-Morrow-Butler-Aumont-Penn
I realize this is an extremely premature rosterbation thread, but being so down on today's game, I needed to do something to feel hopeful about the future. How does this look to you guys?
Also, with Millar the name is more negotiable, the idea of a guy who can put up acceptable numbers vs. LHPs (Millar is better vs. RHPs, but still good vs. LHPs). I looked up a few good alternatives for Millar. Piazza, Alou, Mike Sweeney, Pat Burrell, Jeff Conine, and Casey Blake would all be good substitutes but would likely cost more money.

2002 April Babe of the Month
Regular readers of the Babe of the Month column know we held a contest on our Web site to pick 2001's Babe of the Year. It was a fierce competition that included some smack talk between the two top contenders--Juan's Girl, aka Sarah (Miss November), and Cristye Butler (Miss December). Though Sarah took an early lead, Cristye stormed back and took the win by 7 percent. Dedicated readers may also recall that Cristye had promised to send two photos, but only sent one.
Well, saving the 5.0&SF staff from a string of Buick LeSabre oil changes, Cristye sent in the missing photo, which you are drooling on right now. So, congratulations to Cristye Butler of Columbus, Ohio. You are the 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords' 2001 Babe of the Year--and with this photo, you might just be in the running for 2002. As for your prize, we poor magazine guys don't have much to give, so how's this for a deal? We'll get you into the Columbus NMRA race (held May 3-5, 2002) for free, and we'll photograph your car for the magazine. Just drop us an e-mail in April and we'll work out the details.

Palki Khana Review
Inside the City Palace complex, this casual café is a perfect post-museum stop—sit outside if you like to people-watch. The menu emphasizes standard continental café fare, such as salads, sandwiches, pizza, and pasta; try the yummy "mochachillo" (espresso shake) for a caffeine kick. Beer and an extensive variety of international and Indian wines are also available. If you have tickets for the sound-and-light show, you can watch it over dinner (Rs. 400; reservations required) on the patio; if you want dinner but don't have show tickets, you'll have to wait until the café reopens at 9 pm.

My utterly adorable niece Maggie and nephew Alex, both about 8 and 10 years old each and hopelessly indoctrinated into being Cubs fans by our Cubs-crazy family, have suddenly decided they want to start learning how to play guitar.
I kinda sorta plunk along with it, and am frankly not that great at it, but I want to encourage them to do so. I will be spending some time with them this Christmas and giving them real kid sized guitars to play with to see if they really want to do this long term. And as anyone knows who teaches music to kids, for them to put it all together, you have to help them learn to play something simple quickly that helps them feel like they're achieving something that gives them the payback for the attention to detail they'll have to put into it, plus whatever basic chord/music stuff I can rummage up for them.
I would really like to teach them Steve Goodman's "Go Cubs Go" but can't find any tabs for it anywhere. Any guitar playing Cubs fans out there who can help me figure them out or know somewhere on the net they might be posted, your help would be really appreciated, plus any other suggestions on simple songs I could direct them to.
Just not "Dying Cub Fan's Last Request" .. puhleeze!

As a mother of three young children, Kate Seidel is used to giving. So it was a change for her Sunday to be on the other side, as hundreds of people came out to help her and her family.
"I'm not used to being on this side of it," Seidel said. "It is weird for me, but it just shows how much people loved Kyle."
In December, 34-year-old Kyle Seidel was murdered in Waterford, leaving his three children without a father and his wife, Kate, without a husband.
On Sunday night, hundreds of people came to the Waterford Community Center for a spaghetti dinner and basket raffle fundraiser for the Seidel family and more than $7,000 was raised for the family.
"It just shows how much people care," Kate Seidel said.
The event was organized by eight women who just wanted to "do something," according to one of the event coordinators, Theresa Carter. All the food was donated, along with 134 baskets, which ranged from $50 gift cards to New York Yankee tickets, according to Carter.
"We are just so blessed to be part of this community," Kate Seidel's sister, Kristy Donahue, said at the event. "The past couple of months have been just horrible, as you can imagine. And with the help of all of you, (Kate) will get through this, she will be fine."
For more than a month, the eight women have been meeting once-a-week at Filomena's to organize the fundraiser, Carter said. One thing the group quickly found was how easy it was going to be to get donations, she said.
"It was so easy (to get people to donate)," Carter said. "There are just so many wonderful businesses in this community."
All the drinks for the event were donated from Coca-Cola, along with the door prizes, Carter said. Most of the food was donated from Target, with the salad donated from local pizza places, she said.
The baskets, which were raffled off, were donated by a variety of businesses, and the town's elementary schools contributed as well, Carter said. Overall, there were 134 baskets to raffle off, with the baskets holding everything from three $200 gift certificates to New London Ink to a pair of UGG boots, she said.
"We really just went out and hit the pavement, asking people to donate," Carter said. "It was that easy. We have such an incredible community."
Hundreds of people showed up to the event, with adults paying $10 to eat and children costing $4. People also bought tickets at $1-a-piece to enter into the basket raffle, with all the proceeds going to the Seidel family, Carter said.
Carter was not immediately sure how much money was raised, but said it was more than $7,000. For Seidel, who has took time off of work to spend time with her three children, it means a lot.
"It has been amazing," she said. "This is going to get me through this."
Along with Carter, seven other women helped organize the event. They are Emily Lincoln, Donahue, Veronica Mobley, Amanda Kane, Becky Fraser, Monica Seidel and Nikki Cioci.

Awesome Professor. Must take!! Always willing to help, simplifies the subject, reasonable, evident he wants his students to succeed, entertaining, easy to listen to, inspires students to be better. This is college, so yes-you have to study, but if you do, you will get a good grade. Also, promotes health and exercise and makes practical application
Rumsey is an amazing professor! He is extremely knowledgeable, reasonable, and down-to-earth. Always willing to help through whatever means necessary, as long as you hold up your end of the bargain by being a responsible student. My only regret is that I can't take him for all my science courses!
He really is a great professor and motivates you to come to class, learn, study and will encourage asking for help! His method of testing is beyond amazing and I cant wait to take him for AP2
Professor John is super, if you really want to learn and obtain a good grade, I recommend him. I obtained B and I know I could get an A but I didn't put 100% in the class. So if you will give your best, you won't regret by taking him. Dedicate time to the class and you will be happy at the end.
Rumsey is the man! A really laid back dude but still passionate about his teaching and keeps thing interesting. It helps to read the chapters and he tells you what to study. Couldn't recommend him enough.
This professor is knows A&P. He tells stories that help you relate to the subject. His exams are not easy. You need to know how each system works. Lab practical was timed at 45sec per 2 questions. Several papers due by end of semester and contribute to learning and perks up your grade. Down to earth and supportive. No slackers.
Professor Rumsey is great. He lends a lot of professional insigt into the material and really helps to paint a clear picture. His lecture notes can be printed off internet and he gives comprehensive reviews prior to tests. The material is tough, but an A is definitely manageable.
Great Professor have taken him for both A&P I and II A's on both. Have to study but he tells you what to study. Wish he taught Micro. Not bad on the eyes either... TAKE him.
I took Rumsey for Anatomy 1 and 2. He is a great professor, the work is not easy.. but you can get an A. Print the power points, take notes, record the reviews, come to class and lab and you will do good. He tells you what you need to do and what to study, listen to him. He will TELL you the short answer questions for every test.Take this professor
Rumsey is a great professor, go to class review the notes with him during lectures go home. He doesnt spend much time on things that arent need in the class. Lectures are interesting. RECORD THE REVIEWS they help. Youll never be in class the full time which is AWESOME. I recommend Im onh the wait list for BSC 2094.
You will always leave early. He will let you go but stay until everyone has had a chance to talk to him if they have questions.. Also, he's fun to look at ;) I took his class for A&P I and II. I wish he taught Micro, I would take him again and again!!
The teacher is a great instructor. He tells stories to relate the information to you in a way you will remember. He is exasperated if you don't know your material and lets you know that this is competitive and you need to study. He tells you what to study for and if you don't pass you didn't make the effort.
Let me tell you something. This class is not easy at all. I worl my butt off. And the lab exam, he only give you 1 minute per 3 question. Anatomy is a very hard class, and you have to study on your own. Prf. goes very fast. You will go home early every day.
Awsome professor. Need to study!! He will always help if YOU ASK FOR IT!!!. Took him for A&P2 and class was at least 85% returning students from A&P 1, that says it all. He will give you 75% review of what will be on the test, if you can record it, it will easy on you. Take good notes otherwise tape record class. Take him if you want to learn!!
3 test and a cummulative final,5 reaction paper and 2 lab practical exam. He is crystal clear what he expects from you and what will be in the test. Recommend you record reviews. He is an excellent professor. he may initially come accross intimidating and harsh but once you know him you will be glad you took his class. No regrets if you do!!!!!
Dr. Rumsey is by far the best professor I have ever had the pleasure of encountering. He truely cares for his students and is passonate about what he teaches. I learned so much! Anatomy classes are not the easiest because they have a bunch of material to cover, but he makes it easier to learn it. He is knowledgable and amusing. Take him!!! :)
This professor is one of the best I've ever had! He's always very clear about what's going to be on the test, and what you need to know. He's very understanding and is willing to work with you if you're struggling. He's not easy, unless you put the time in to work for it. I took him for a&p1 and a&p2, i highly recommend him.
Self learners & self motivated people. Its not easy but that he treats all as adults which is much appreciated. API(B) was great but APII(C) seemed like he was less interested & grumpy a lot. I didnt like his lectures on what we should or shouldnt be doing it was negative and demotivated me a bit. He does care about students and his job helpful
Awsome guy best professor I have ever had. Not too bad if you study but if you don't you won't pass. There are 4 tests a final and 2 lab practicals but he tells you what to study Go to class if you don't you will not do well. The good thing is his lectures are awesome, he relates well to the students, is hilarious and nice to look at ;)TAKE HIM!
Dr. Rumsey is the best. Ignore any comments that he doesn't teach well. He moves quickly through the Power Points during lecture to keep the class length short, but if you pay attention and study the slides on your own then it's not hard to get an A. I didn't use the book much. He gives a good review before tests and as a plus is a really nice guy.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Health officials are asking the West Virginia Legislature to eliminate sugar-sweetened drinks from the state's public schools.
Chairwoman Helen Matheny of the West Virginia Healthy Lifestyles Coalition cites the state's high rankings for obesity and Type 2 diabetes in recommending the action.
West Virginia sought to limit soft drinks in schools with a law passed last decade. But Matheny says its wording has created a conflict with state Board of Education and U.S. Department of Agriculture policies.
Matheny said the Healthy Lifestyles Coalition recommends the law's repeal. It also wants public schools to require that a least half of every physical education class involve moderate to rigorous activity.
The coalition is also calling for schools to share their gym and exercise-related facilities more with their communities.
Matheny addressed lawmakers Wednesday.

Hi, we're Project Wonderful. We think online advertising doesn't have to be terrible. We think it can be done better.
[ Twitter | RSS ]
Project Wonderful Tricks That You Probably Didn't Know About (Part 1)
We just came across this post giving some handy Project Wonderful tips and tricks you may not know about! Parts Two and Three are up, too!
Getting started advertising
We want advertising to be as simple and as easy as possible, but there's going to be a learning curve no matter what you do! To try to keep that curve flat (think more "tiny hill at the park" than "Mount Everest") we've produced a "Getting started advertising" guide that walks you through the basics of advertising on Project Wonderful. Give it a look - even if you're a seasoned pro, you might learn about some features you didn't know were there!
Also, it features a robot.
Funds now put on hold when withdrawing!
When you take your funds out of Project Wonderful, we put that request in a queue that gets processed in one business day.
In the past, we'd just put in the request and then process it. But if you spent your funds during that waiting time, this could mean your withdrawal would then not go through because there were no longer enough funds in your account!
Today we've changed it so that when you request a withdrawal, those funds are put on hold until the withdrawal is processed. So if you have $100 and request a withdrawal for $90, your available balance will drop to $10 right away. If you decide you'd rather spend those funds than withdraw them, you can cancel your withdrawal request, and your balance will go back to $100 again.
It's a pretty simple change, but it should help out our members who sometimes had their withdrawal requests fail when they became the high bidder again.
As always, thanks for being a Project Wonderful member!
New hit tracking code is now up
The new code we mentioned in the last post is now live. We did the rollover today at noon, so today's stats will be a half-and-half mixture of the two tracking mechanisms, but from tomorrow onward it's all 1:1 sampling. Nice! As usual, drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com if you've got any questions. And thanks for being Project Wonderful members!
New hit tracking code!
Tracking the traffic an ad box gets seems like a straight-forward problem, right? Mark whenever you get a display, and call it a day. If you see the same IP address (roughly equivalent to the same person) then you know they've hit the site twice.
Turns out it's not that easy, and that's one of the reasons you're never likely to get matching data from two different hit-tracking applications.
First off, how are you recording this information? JavaScript hit tracking won't get people who have JavaScript off. Server-side tracking can keep track of direct image accesses, but these are completely invisible to anything at the HTML level. Project Wonderful is an advertising network, so we're going to records hits with both JavaScript and with fallback straight HTML. Most ad networks only use JavaScript, but we're not most ad networks!
Next, WHAT are you tracking? Do you care about people who load the site entirely, or who just access it before clicking away? Our answer is simple: we care about who sees the ads. So if you put an ad box at the top of your page, and one at the bottom, those two ad boxes will likely record different hits, because not everyone will always wait for the full page to load. You'll see more traffic on your top ad box, and that's great, because that ad box is actually seeing more traffic. More people are looking at it!
Finally, there's the matter of volume. If you're recording every hit on a page, that means at the minimum recording what page it was on and which IP accessed it - for every single hit across the entire network. And you need to be able to process, analyze, and summarize this data in real time. Imagine all the traffic from every single site on your network being funneled into your servers. You need to be keep up!
In the past, Project Wonderful's hit tracking scaled up as sites did: if you got 100 hits a day, we tracked every one of those, but if you got 50,000 then we would randomly sample the traffic stream. It's sort of like how surveys work: you don't call up every single person in the country to ask them what they think about Doritos, you call up a representative sample and extrapolate from there. But the problem with random sampling is that there's that pesky "accurate to within 1 percentage point, 19 times out of 20" phrase you've often heard afterwards. When you're randomly sampling, you're never 100% sure you're capturing everything, because you are by definition missing some things. It's really unlikely, but something could slip through!
Because of this, we've been investing in infrastructure behind-the-scenes to move away from random sampling. Very soon, Project Wonderful will be turning on our new hit tracking code. Every single page view is now logged, processed, and analyzed in real time, and random sampling is a thing of the past. It's an impressive feat (one that's normally only possible when you have Google-level infrastructure) but it was something we wanted and it lets us support some new features, so it's been something we've been working towards for months. This code has actually been running in parallel with our current hit code a while, which has let us debug it and ensure everything's working as it should, but very soon we'll be switching over and displaying this new data exclusively.
We'll make a new post when it's online, so you'll know. Smaller sites will notice no difference, as random sampling doesn't affect them. Larger publishers won't notice much of a difference in their numbers: page views will be almost identical, but unique visitors will likely be smaller (now that we're tracking every single display, we can give more accurate numbers here).
Stay tuned, and we can't wait to share the exciting new features we've got coming down the pipe!
Asynchronous code
UPDATE: Connectivity has been restored. While we still recommend you use our asynchronous code - it'll prevent any future downtime from having an impact on your site - there's a much easier way of getting it now. Just log in, go to "My ad boxes" and click on "code". We'll leave this up for reference, but didn't want to force you with manually editing HTML if you don't have to. :)
We've offered asynchronous code for a long time now: it's an improved version of our basic code that means than when our site goes down, your ads still load quickly. Even though our site is currently down, you can still convert your older ad box code to the asynchronous version that won't hold up your site.
First, look at the PW code already in your page source. It may have these lines:
d.projectwonderful_adbox_id = "#####";
d.projectwonderful_adbox_type = "#";
Or it may have this lines:
s += "src = http://www.projectwonderful.com/gen.php";
s += "?id=#####&type=#";
In either case, make note of the numbers marked by ##### and #.
* ##### is a three-to-five digit number, which is your ad box's ID
* # is a number between 1 and 7, which indicates the ad box type (square, leaderboard, and so on)
There are two blocks of code to replace your old one with. The first is the same for every ad box, and begins the process of contacting our server for the winning bids:

The driver in the Stark County crash that killed three teens, Morgan Blakey, was sentenced to 12 years in prison Monday.
Blakey was 19 years old at the time, he will most likely serve just over ten years of his sentence
In November of 2011, authorities say Morgan Blakey was driving over 90 miles an hour with a car full of teens when he passed out. The car hit a mailbox, vaulted 100 feet in the air and landed 300 feet off the road. Prosecutors believe Blakey was inhaling aerosols or "huffing," which caused him to pass out.
16-year old Levi Berg and 18-year old Bradley Wood were pronounced dead at the scene of that crash. 15-year old Kelsey Clifford died later at Kewanee Hospital.
All three were students at Stark County High School. Two others, including Blakey, were injured in the crash and airlifted to the hospital.
The parents of Bradley Wood and Kelsey Clifford spoke in court today, sharing memories of their sons and facing the person responsible for their deaths.
"I'll always remember that day from the time I got off work to the time I left the hospital at midnight, leaving my son there covered up," Angela Deffenbaugh says. She tells TV6 she remembers every detail from the day her son, Bradley, was killed.
"When the coroner came out and said, 'I need you to identify a boy,' I went in and sure enough it was Bradley, just lying there like he'd peacefully went to sleep."
A skateboarder and a donor to causes like 'Locks for Love,' Bradley was killed six months before his graduation.
"He worked so hard to get to that day, I will never get to see him succeed in his dreams, never see him get married, or have children of his own," Deffenbaugh says.
With her husband, Dick, behind her, Kathy Clifford talked about her son, Kelsey, and the void he's left in their lives.
"A parent wants to experience everything with their child, holidays, birthdays, college, first job, weddings, anniversaries and grandchildren," she says, "We will never be able to share any of this with Kelsey."
"Kelsey and his dad used to go to Casey's for donuts every Sunday morning while I was at church, they would try to eat them before I got home so I wouldn't know," Clifford says, "Now every Sunday, Dick gets them and eats them down at the cemetery by Kelsey's grave."
Three teens, Levi, Bradley, and Kelsey, now lost from a day of bad decisions.
"I want to know, do you regret your actions? Are you sorry? Do you have nightmares about that day? Because I do," Deffenbaugh said in court, addressing Blakey.
"Every time he celebrates Christmas, a birthday, or just sees the sun rise or set, we want him to remember Kelsey can't," Clifford said.
The mothers shared their stories as a learning lesson for all, so no parent has to lose a child to something like this again.
"You're not only responsible for yourself in that car, you're responsible for everybody else that's in that car," Deffenbaugh says.
"Life is so precious and it's gone in a second."

Between his uniform and gun, David Cobb stands out like a sore thumb at New Providence Middle School in Clarksville, but in a good way. "Anything that happens here at school, whatever the issue is at New Providence, I take care of it," said Cobb, pacing the hallways.Cobb is a school resource officer, or SRO.He's a Montgomery County Sheriff's employee, whose full time job is to keep the students, staff and teachers safe."I'm here early in the morning, usually around 6:20 a.m.," explained Cobb. "And I don't leave until all the students are gone and pretty much the faculty is gone."Right now, all middle and high schools in Montgomery County are covered with someone like Cobb; it's security at the elementary schools the district has agreed to step up."To act as a deterrent for crime and just to show a law enforcement presence at these schools," said John Fuson, the Montgomery County Sheriff. "Starting this month, Montgomery County schools will hire an armed, off-duty police officer or sheriff's deputy to watch over their youngest students.It's costing $140,000 to make this a reality until the end of the school year."We support this, regardless of the cost, anything that we have to do," said Al Ansley, Clarksville's police chief, "We're going to support this 100%."But keeping these off-duty additions around long-term will cost much more, $2.8 million per year more.Fuson told Nashville's News 2, "I definitely feel confident about the process going forward, but the real question is, how are we going to fund this and will we be willing to fund this?"The district hopes the Tennessee legislature will step up to provide more funding to make this extra security permanent.It's something parents like Bart Merriam fully support, "I think it's high time we put some power back on the side of the good guys.""Guns are an equalizer," added Merriam, "If I'm 6'4 and you're 5'3, but we each have a gun, we're equal."Montgomery County schools added they are also in the process of reviewing other security procedures at all of their buildings.

This week, I'm going to do something a little different. There has been much ranting on this site and within Bulldog Nation over the past few weeks advocating a need for change of some sort, so I will do my part to offer something new and different. This will still be a literary, nerdy post, but I will not be Dawgifying a poetic work (partially because I would probably just end up rhyming all the words that end in "uck" or something). Instead, I will write about something that has caused some discussion on Dawg Sports and numerous raging arguments across the Internet.
One of my sources claims one sub-type of this thing to be "absolute infinite negativity;" the other claims a different sub-type to be, "subjective, confusing, and [dependent] on the expectations of either the reader or the characters in the situation." As much as those descriptions could apply to this past weekend's ballgame debacle, these definitions are also used to describe that dread of teachers and bane of students: irony.
Even on Dawg Sports, a consensus on the definition of irony can be difficult to reach. Some people may only acknowledge verbal irony and sarcasm, while others take a more open-minded view of the device. I've always felt that irony cannot always be defined, but I often feel that I know it when I see it or experience it. I suppose in athletic jargon, irony would be considered an intangible, something that is not necessarily easily grasped or defined but that is unmistakable in its presence. So here are all of the types of irony I
found on Wikipedia and The Oatmeal keep stored in my genius brain, accompanied by illuminating examples of each.
Verbal irony
This is the type of irony that most people refer to as sarcasm. I read a
boring and hair-splitting riveting paragraph or two about how sarcasm and verbal irony are different, but most of the world sees both of them as saying one thing to mean another in a way that is often insulting or caustic. For example, it is not unusual to read comments on Dawg Sports that say something like, "Draw play up the middle on 3rd and 15? Great call, Bobo!" Obviously, the commenter does not actually believe the call to be a good one, but verbal irony provides a socially-acceptable outlet for the commenter's frustrations. Come to think of it, the Ol' Ball Coach knows a thing or two about verbal irony; after all, you can't spell "verbal irony" without "bravely iron."
Socratic Irony
Socratic irony involves pretending to agree with a person with whom you disagree in order to reveal the flaws in his or her argument. In Biblical terms, this is the proverbial "answer a fool according to his folly" method. Essentially, you express opinions contrary to your own as a means of drawing foolish or contrary statements out of your opponents.
For example, let's say chuckdawg has the following conversation (which has been cleaned up considerably in terms of both grammar and content for the innocent eyes of Dawg Sports readers).
No-good Hoodlum: Hey, Dawg! You're wearing red and black, so you must be as angry as I am! Let's go roll and egg Murray and C-rob's house!
Chuckdawg: Yeah! That sounds like a great idea! Nothing will convey our true fandom like vandalizing our own players' property.
No-good Hoodlum: Exactly! They thoroughly disgraced the red and black tonight, and they should pay!
Chuckdawg: I know. Nothing is more disgraceful in life than losing a football game. Everything else pales in comparison.
No-good Hoodlum: You're absolutely right. I'll bet the ACCPD won't even stop me because they're too busy monitoring the football players who are not actually here. How ironic!
Chuckdawg: If we're not worried about the cops, why stop with egging and rolling? Why not throw bricks through their windows? Why not spraypaint "Dwags Sux!" on their walls?
No-good Hoodlum: You're so right! Heck, why not set the whole thing on fire! I'm talking total destruction of property here tonight!
Chuckdawg: Wait a minute! That's not how this is supposed to go. I'm employing Socratic irony. You are supposed to eventually see that your opinion is ridiculous and bow before my dazzling wit and intelligence.
No-good Hoodlum: So you're not actually going to help me vandalize our players' house?
Chuckdawg: Of course not.
No-good Hoodlum: But you've seen my face and I have pretty much told you my entire diabolical plan. You could tell the cops everything you know. What should I do about that?
Chuckdawg: Assume that the cops aren't going to care since it involves something happening to the players rather than something done by them?
No-good Hoodlum: That's a risk I'm not willing to take. Sorry, Dawg; you never should've messed with Socratic irony.
Chuckdawg: Talk about infinite absolute negativity...
While satire is not, strictly speaking, classified as a type of irony, this literary genre relies heavily on irony. Satire resembles Socratic irony except that it is written as a single argument instead of as a give-and-take rhetorical exchange. Many of you likely had to read Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" in class, and the Onion is a well-known satirical news site that pokes fun at modern headlines using satire. I supposed I could have skipped satire, but I wanted to write satire, so I included it because
I wanted to it's greatly important.
On Saturday night, Bulldog fans of all shapes and sizes reacted emotionally to a daring and bold coaching strategy employed by the University of Georgia's football team earlier that evening.
"Anyone can take the field with the goal of winning a ballgame," super-fan Larry Manson said of the unorthodox plan, "but only the Bulldogs strive for the more important goal of perfection."
"Deliberately trying not to score points...I don't know how to feel about that, really," admitted University of Georgia freshman Hudson Murphy. "My father always told me that winning was the most important thing, and my mother...well, she didn't usually agree with my father, but she did agree with him that one time."
"Winning is easy, but any hot-blooded American male should be up for the unique and impressionable feat of striving for perfection in the form of exactly zero points," LSU head coach Les Miles said. "I once tried to employ a similar strategy against Tennessee at the end of a ballgame, but Dooley and the Count outsmarted me. 'Thirteen players on the field! Ah! Ah! Ah!' (may the Count rest in peace, or whatever they do in Transylvania)."
"The atmosphere here was electric," five-star recruit Robin Fester said. "The fans didn't understand the coaches' reasoning at first, but once we realized what they were doing, we rallied behind them 100%. Not that I'm a fan or anything...actually, I'm...yeah, I have Auburn gear and ca...um...War Eagle!"
"How clever of Bobo to call repeated runs right at Jadeveon Clowney!" gushed a source who wishes to remain anonymous. "I can't wait to go home and try that on NCAA '13!"
"Don't forget about the defense," chided Anonymous' buddy, Irvin Meyers. "Telling Shawn Williams to blow coverage on not one but two key passes and to tell Rambo to give that almost-interception back...the genius of it all reduces me to tears."
"I don't think we can single out any particular member of our team," professional Bulldog blogger and part-time lawyer C. Lyle Singh hastened to add. "Our determined and indomitable ballclub worked in unison like a well-oiled machine in an attempt to accomplish a true synergy of suck. I am as proud of my Classic City Canines as I can be--except, of course, for that aptly-named Boo."
"I can't believe what Boo did," spat angry former back Knowjohn Morebueno. "The Dawgs had perfection within their grasp, but Boo had to...had to run like...like he wanted to reach the endzone," Morebueno finished with a rasping whisper.
"Yeah, Boo's in the dawg house," a current player who wishes to remain anonymous said. "He got kicked out of everywhere; he tried to get in the literal doghouse with Uga IX, but Russ shut the door in his face--and rightly so."
"Boo has always been a little spirited, bless his heart," Coach Mark Richt said during the post-game press conference. "He knew the plan, but his instincts just took over. I wish we could've achieved a perfect 0-35 ledger, but I guess we'll just have to wait for next week before we can card a scoreless game."
The Georgia Bulldogs are 0-0 in bye week competition, even though the Dawgs face at least one bye week per year. Isn't that ironic?
"Um, no, it's actually not," said an angry blogger.
"Um, yeah, it is," responded another angry blogger. "There's totally a reversal of expectations since one would expect that it was impossible to both face a team every year and to have a 0-0 record against them."
"But we haven't even gotten to situational irony yet, so that means it doesn't exist."
"Your mom doesn't exist."
"Oh no you ditn't, poopyhead."
"Shut yo face, chocolate pants."
Dramatic Irony
Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something the characters do not. One frequently used example is Romeo and Juliet because the audience knows that Juliet is not dead while Romeo does not. The audience knows that Juliet only appears dead, so they feel more sorrow and horror when Romeo is preparing to stab himself because they know the truth.
We Bulldogs should feel right at home with dramatic irony since our beloved offensive coordinator is fond of setting up such scenes himself. If we were watching a movie of one of our games over the past few years, it might play out thus:
The Dawgs prepare take the field for an important drive. The opposing team's defense huddles near the sideline, their DC intensely staring down each man.
"I know these guys," he says. "They are going to pretend that they mean to run or to throw short, but I've seen this movie before. No; they're going to throw deep. Bobo thinks he can outsmart me, but he couldn't even outsmart that group of women he played against in the offseason. You, drop back in coverage; you too. When Murray bombs it, we'll be ready."
The offense trots out on the field, each man taking his position. The ball is snapped, and everything develops in slow motion. The viewer feels an impending sense of doom because he or she knows something that Murray & Co. don't know. (Either that, or he or she has just watched a lot of Bulldog football.) I'll mercifully fade to black here, because it's OUR FUNERAL LOLOLOL!!!1
Situational Irony
Few types of irony cause more passionate disagreement than this type of irony because it has the broadest definition. Situational irony occurs when there is a reversal of expectation in the way something turns out; the hard part of determining whether or not something is situational irony is that not every reversal of expectation feels ironic. I may expect my football team to win, but if it loses, that is not necessarily ironic.
The situation of the Georgia Bulldogs losing to the South Carolina Gamecocks is not ironic in and of itself, but when you consider that the scheduling mess actually ended up working in favor of the Gamecocks rather than against them...you felt it, right? That twinge that hits when you recognize irony? Or maybe that was just your stomach clenching in remembrance of our last game. That's why irony is so difficult to pin down sometimes: sometimes, with irony--especially situational irony--you just have to feel it.
Oh sure, I can argue that, from a technical perspective, this counts as situational irony. The general expectation at the beginning of the season was that playing South Carolina in the middle of the season would benefit Georgia, yet what actually happened was a reversal of that initial expectation. More importantly than technicalities, however, the sense of irony hits you like Clowney hurdling yet another lineman.
I almost included the example of Steve Spurrier suspending Kelcy Quarles for the Florida game as a definite example of a reversal of expectation, but then I read that Quarles would likely not have played anyway due to injury and realized that this was the status quo rather than any kind of situational irony.
Historical Irony
This is the last type of irony I'll be writing about today; there are a couple of other types of irony, but this is already long enough as it is. Historical irony occurs when people look back at the historical words and actions of others from the past. A good Bulldog example would be the so-called curse that Erk Russell put on all Bulldog football teams past that from 1980.
In his hype letter to that year's football team, Erk said that he wanted to make that year's football team the best ever in honor of the Railroad Track Crowd. He meant those words at the time to be inspiring and encouraging, but when we look back on them years later, they can take on the more sinister meaning of making sure that no Bulldog team will ever be as good as that 1980 team.
Anyone who disagrees with these definitions of irony should feel free to debate the proper definitions endlessly in the comments and confirm The Oatmeal's conclusion. Of course, this is already the weirdest thing I've done on this site this side of "Boledogge's Tale" anyway; it is almost Halloween, after all. Speaking of which, I've had some good suggestions for Hate Week already. I haven't started on anything yet because I'm
lazy busy, but anyone who has an idea but has yet to submit it needs to do so soon. I know we still have to beat Kentucky, but Hate Week is almost here! So correct, suggest, debate, and/or complain away, Dawgs! Hopefully we will get back on track against mighty Kentucky (verbal irony!) and will be ready for foul, loathsome, pukey Florida (verbal honesty).

The Matching Game
Last time, I showed you how the first legwarmer came out. Well, I've now started on the second legwarmer.
My goal was to make them as close to the same as I could with regard to the self patterning yarn. I was slightly concerned that I wouldn't have enough yarn in one skein to pull it off but, I'm pleased to report, that I had more than enough!
To get the second legwarmer to match the first legwarmer, I simply cut off yarn from the skein until I reached the light orange that was at the top of the first cuff. Then, I started knitting. While I'm not done yet, I think they are matching up pretty nicely so far!
And! Look! The bottom cuff sort of match the top cuff by no design of mine – bonus!
My daughter is going to love wearing these to and from dance class next year!

Matchup: Giants at Panthers
8:20 p.m. ET, Thursday at Bank of America Stadium
Published: Sep 19, 2012
» Get updates via Sportsmail
Each week Fantasy Source experts break down the matchups for NFL games from a fantasy perspective. Our tiered star ratings tell you how strongly we feel about each player's chances for a breakout performance. We analyze players based on how well their opponent defends that position and other factors such as statistical trends, playing-time potential and the talent level of the players and the teams involved.
4-Star Players
Eli Manning, QB, Giants. Manning became just the 13th quarterback to throw for more than 500 yards in a single game last week, but that was more a result of playing in catch-up mode. Manning will feed Nicks and Victor Cruz in the short passing game to set up the long-ball, and the potential absence of Ahmad Bradshaw (neck) could mean even more passing. Manning is hot right now, and he's a starter in all formats.
Steve Smith, WR, Panthers. Smith hasn't lost a step, and that's proven with back-to-back 100-yard games. Given the injury concerns in New York's secondary he seems primed for another big-time performance. In 14 career night games, Smith averages 79.6 receiving yards per game with 7 TDs.
3-Star Players
Cam Newton, QB, Panthers. Lights. Cam. Action. It's Newton's first prime-time game since coming to the NFL, and it comes against the defending champions. Newton excelled in these spots in college, and he should do the same at this level. Playing at home helps. Newton owns a 93.1 quarterback rating and 14-7 TD-to-INT ratio at home. As long as Newton doesn't rush throws, he'll be fine. Start Newton.
DeAngelo Williams, RB, Panthers. Williams is Carolina's lead back, but he's been inconsistent this season and now is splitting carries with Jonathan Stewart again. Williams still should get the most touches, and the Giants allow 4.6 yards per carry. Williams is a RB2/flex option.
Andre Brown, RB, Giants. Brown is among the most popular pickups this week, and he stands to get the most carries because Bradshaw is out. Carolina allows 4.7 yards per carry, so Brown should get at least 15 touches. The Greenville, N.C. native, is primed for a happy homecoming. Start him as a RB2 or flex.
Victor Cruz, WR, Giants. Nothing has changed for Cruz. He has 28 targets in two games, and he's Manning's firs read in the short passing game. Cruz's ability to work in and out of cuts will be a challenge for rookie cornerback Josh Norman, among others. Cruz is a borderline WR1 this week.
Giants defense/special teams. In what is becoming a disturbing trend, the defending Super Bowl champions have issues in the secondary. Michael Coe (hamstring) and Prince Amukamara (ankle) are battling injuries. New York has four sacks in two games, and the defensive line is tasked with trying to contain the big-bodied Newton. New York likely will use more press coverage this week as a result. The Giants are a risky play, one probably better left on the bench.
Lawrence Tynes, K, Giants. Tynes totaled 15 points in Week 2, and he's averaging 10 points per game. Tynes had just 11 field-goal attempts on the road last season, but the offense should put him in field-goal position at least twice. He's a borderline starter.
2-Star Players
Jonathan Stewart, RB, Panthers. Stewart returned from an ankle injury last week and had 11 carries for 51 yards and a receiving TD. Stewart averages 5.9 yards per carry in three previous games against the Giants. He should get double-digit carries again, which makes him a flex option in standard leagues.
Brandon LaFell, WR, Panthers. LaFell is emerging as a top target in the intermediate passing game. He's averaging 17.2 yards per catch. Given New York's problems in the secondary, LaFell should get a few crossing routes early and perhaps a few deep shots late. As long as LaFell continues to make good use of his six-to-eight targets, he's in play as a WR3.
Martellus Bennett, TE, Giants. Bennett proved he's more than just a red-zone option with a 33-yard TD against the Buccaneers in Week 2. He can challenge Carolina's linebackers in the seams, and Manning likely will test rookie Luke Kuechly early. Bennett remains a fringe starter in standard leagues, but his stock is moving up.
Justin Medlock, K, Panthers. Medlock hasn't missed a kick and is averaging 6.0 points per game through two weeks. He could flirt with double digits in a shootout, but there are better options available.
1-Star Players
David Wilson, RB, Giants. Wilson owners have to be disappointed. Even with Bradshaw out, the rookie likely won't get the most touches against Carolina. Wilson's preseason appears to be a mirage; he has just five carries for 10 yards through two games. With Brown taking most of the carries, Wilson has little upside as a flex.
Greg Olsen, TE, Panthers. Expect Olsen to be involved early. He has seven receptions on 10 targets this season, and he'll be used to settle Newton down. This is a tough matchup; the Giants have allowed just 3.0 fantasy points per game to tight ends through two weeks. Olsen has just 10 yards after the catch. Olsen needs to score a TD to justify a start.
Panthers defense/special teams. Carolina's defense surrendered 463 yards of total offense in a win against the Saints last week. The Panthers are deep at linebacker, but weaknesses on the defensive line and secondary could show up this week against Manning, who is on top of his game. A jacked-up home crowd might help with a few stops early, but Carolina isn't a starting unit.
0-Star Players
Hakeem Nicks, WR, Giants. Nicks proved how dominant he can be with 10 catches for 199 yards and a TD in Week 2, but he aggravated a foot injury and was downgraded to out for Thursday. Ramses Barden and Rueben Randle are expected to see more time, but the bigger beneficiary of targets could be Cruz and tight end Bennett.
Mike Tolbert, RB, Panthers. Tolbert remains an option as a goal-line back, but his involvement in the offense stops there. Tolbert has three carries for five yards and a TD through two games. He won't have value unless either Williams or Stewart is injured.
Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Giants. Bradshaw suffered a neck injury in Week 2, and he's out this week. Keep Bradshaw on the bench.
Domenik Hixon, WR, Giants. Hixon is not expected to play.
Louis Murphy, WR, Panthers. Murphy didn't have target in Week 2. Newton might take a shot or two against New York's beat-up secondary, but Murphy won't get more than five targets.

signal shed by ryan lingard
Mariah Morrow and Ryan Lingard built their mountain cabin after, seeing an ad in the Joseph, Oregon local paper while on a road trip for the distressed, 100- by 150-foot parcel for $47,000.
"Where most people would have seen a steep, partially burned, partially logged slope that didn't have utilities, we just saw possibilities," Mariah recalls.
Their cozy cabin with woodstove has a perfect view of Wallowa Lake. At just 130 square feet plus a deck this wilderness outpost (a 6-hour drive from Portland) is rustic bliss.
They call their creation Signal Shed. A simple, but modern little cabin recently featured in Sunset Magzine as a micro-hideaway in the woods. Designed himself, architect Ryan Lingard built their getaway on a very limited budget, yet eye-catching and well proportioned. A perfect addition for anyone looking to create some extra space, the Signal Shed is now being offered as a prefab design.
Sitting on pier footings similar to a deck, the inside floor measures 8 by 16 feet, for a total area of just 130 square feet.
Built for $57K, including the land.

When you cook, chances are you wish it could go faster. Well, you can start by stepping away from all those knives… because you only need four of them. And our food pro, Devin Alexander, is here to show you why!
"Does it take you too long to get dinner on the table? It might be that you are using the wrong knife. I am going to show you the four pieces that you need that will not only save you money, they'll save you time in the kitchen," says Devin.
"We are going to start with the most important piece. This is a chef's knife. This is the one that you want to spend a little money on because it's the one you are going to use the most. I use it for celery and carrots, even for cubing meat and potatoes. It's pretty much your go-to knife," she explains.
While many people don't want to use a larger knife, Devin says it makes slicing and dicing much easier than with a small one.
"The next knife is a paring knife," she says. "This is a knife you need for small jobs that have a lot of detail -- things like peeling an apple, decorating a mushroom or even cutting the tops off strawberries. This is a knife you don't have to spend much money on."
The next knife Devin keeps on hand is a serrated knife, often called a bread knife.
"You can also use if for tomatoes," she says. "Its great because the teeth allow you to cut through the bread without squashing it. A serrated knife is another one you don't need to spend a lot of money on."
And finally, there is the utility knife, which has a fine, long blade.
"It helps you get in hard-to-reach places to trim meats. This is the only other knife besides the chef's knife that you might want to spend a little more money on if you can," Devin concludes. "Having these four knives in your kitchen arsenal will cut down on kitchen frustration, and help you get dinner on the table in no time!"

GameInformer have revealed even more about the upcoming Marvel Vs Capcom 3, revealing four new characters and a host of gameplay details.
In the character department, beyond the already confirmed, there will also be Captain America and Deadpool from Marvel, and Dante (Devil May Cry) and Felicia (Darkstalkers) from Capcom. As far as gameplay info goes, apparently they're working off the Tatsunoko fighting scheme for accessibility, but will keep stuff like Hyper Combos, Snapback and Assists (Alpha, Beta and Gamma) from the MvC series. Launch attacks are performed by a single button (for accessibility), and can be performed mid-air, but can be countered with the correct response timing.
Deadpool's teleportation device returns but malfunctions if you spam it, he can also break the fourth wall by smashing opponents with his health bar. It was also revealed Chris Redfield would be using his pistol, shotgun and shock stick from Resi 5, while other returning characters would essentially retain their move-set from previous iterations of the series.
We'll see more of the game at this year's E3, but you can check out our early look at it right here.

The Committee on Rules and Jurisdiction, which normally meets only in response to specific questions raised by the Senate's officers, committees, and members, did not meet during the 1998-99 academic year. However, the Committee did consult electronically on a number of inquiries and items
Six standing committees of the Academic Senate proposed changes to the bylaws governing their composition or duties. In each case, the Committee on Rules and Jurisdiction considered whether the proposed changes were consonant with the code of the Academic Senate and in one instance made substantive recommendations that were ultimately agreed to by the proposing committee. The proposed changes reviewed by Rules and Jurisdiction that were subsequently approved by the Representative Assembly during 1998-99 amended the bylaws governing the Committees on Admissions, Faculty Research Lecturer, and Planning and Budget. Proposed amendments to the bylaws governing the Committees on Affirmative Action, Student Affirmative Action, and Computing have been reviewed by Rules and Jurisdiction and will be considered by the Representative Assembly in 1999-00.
The Chair of the Division asked the committee to consider whether the minimum numbers of Senate members required to initiate certain actions by petition should be revised in recognition of the growth in size of the Division. Proposed amendments to the bylaws governing special meetings of the Division and the Representative Assembly, mail ballot referral, and effective date of actions were considered and, with one change, approved by the Representative Assembly. At the same time, the committee made some editorial changes to bylaws.
The committee chair, along with the chairs of Academic Freedom and Privilege and Tenure, met with the campus Sexual Harassment Officer to preview proposed revisions to the local Sexual Harassment Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedures. Subsequently, the committee considered the revisions and found nothing of concern from the perspective of the Rules and Jurisdiction.
Rules and Jurisdiction was asked to consider the Draft Plan for a Division of Biology. The committee noted that the proposal raises serious issues about faculty voting privileges both in personnel matters and other substantial departmental questions. The proposal will require an amendment to Senate Bylaw 55. E both to permit voting by section on personnel matters and to require review of all voting procedures with the Division by Committees of Academic Personnel and Rules and Jurisdiction. The committee will recommend the necessary changes to the Universitywide Committee on Rules and Jurisdiction.

You may have used my other circuit training program. This program is a bit different because it offers more aerobic conditioning but still provides a good combination of resistance and aerobics to keep the heart rate rolling along, if not skyrocketing, and the upper- and lower-body muscles working hard.
The circuit consists of moderate- and high-intensity aerobics combined with weights and strength stations. You will have time to recover in between the intense exercises.
Learn more about weight training terminology and exercise descriptions if you need background information before you try this circuit.
What You NeedThis circuit program is designed around four pieces of exercise equipment.
- A treadmill
- Two dumbbells
- A mini-trampoline or rebounder
- An exercise mat or suitable floor space
You can substitute a stationary bike for the treadmill or the mini trampoline if they are not available or convenient in your gym or home exercise area.
If you're not familiar with rebounders or mini-trampolines, these small trampolines are an excellent way of getting higher-intensity exercise without excessive impact on the knees -- a problem for some people who are trying to lose weight. Being low to the ground, they are quite safe when you get used to them. Check the load capacity and make sure it's not a children's rebounder. Most gyms should have one.
You might need to organize the equipment in two separate areas of the gym. If so, move quickly between sections.
The Circuit Program Exercises
- Warmup. Warmup with some gentle dynamic stretching and treadmill work for 5 to 10 minutes to get the blood flowing.
- Treadmill fast walk - 5 minutes fast. Walk on the treadmill for 5 minutes fast. This should be at a pace at which you have to stride out strongly with arms swinging for pace and balance. You should be able to talk but you may puff a little.
- Dumbbell Squat Press - 2x10. Move immediately into the dumbbell squat presses. You start with a dumbbell held on each shoulder, you dip at the knees, but no more than thighs parallel to the ground, then you push the dumbbells high overhead. Do 2 sets of 10 repetitions with 30 seconds rest in between.
- Mini-trampoline - 2 x 60 seconds. Go to the mini-trampoline. You should be familiar with this piece of equipment before starting the circuit.
Start a light bounce with two feet on the tramp for a few minutes until you have recovered from the dumbbell exercises. Now, start to jog as you would jogging down the street. It takes a little more balance than the two-feet bounce but you will quickly get the idea of it.
Increase your jogging pace to "fast" for 60 seconds. This means you are simulating running fast for one minute, yet only up and down on the trampoline. You need to practice this a little. Your knees will need to rise higher than when you run with forward motion.
This need not be at top pace but it needs to be at a pace at which you are working quite hard for one minute -- and at a pace at which you cannot talk easily. Stop, bounce for two minutes, then repeat a second time 60 seconds fast.
- Dumbbell Lunges - 2x10. Move immediately to the dumbbell station. Hold dumbbells at the side and lunge forward, one leg forward and back, then the other. Try to keep the knees from extending too far behind the point of the toes. Do 2 sets of 10 repetitions (of each leg) with 30 seconds rest.
- Crunches - 2x12. Do two sets of 12 crunches with 30 seconds rest in between.
- Next Circuit. Start the treadmill exercise again if you're ready for a second circuit. If you don't have access to a mini-trampoline, do your 60 seconds sprints on a stationary bike with reasonable resistance. The same application applies -- work hard for 60 seconds so that you're puffing substantially.
- How to Progress. Start with one circuit (of each exercise) and see how your current fitness level deals with it. The mini-tramp sprints will probably knock you around a little if you're not fit. You can rest for 3 to 5 minutes then try another circuit. Try to progress to three consecutive circuits over time, but do it gradually. One circuit should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Get a medical clearance if you're not sure of your wellness to handle this type of workout.
- Cool Down. When finished, cool down with some light stretches.
How to Use the Circuit ProgramKeep this circuit in your arsenal of fitness workouts. Use it regularly in between weights or cardio sessions for variety and for a change in intensity.

Miss Representation, the documentary featuring conversations with Condoleezza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Rachel Maddow, Margaret Cho, Rosario Dawson, and others on the impact of women's portrayals in the media, comes to DVD April 10th.
The film's DVD release by Virgil Films & Entertainment follows a successful 2011 Sundance Film Festival premiere, a stint as part of OWN's Documentary Club, as well as a nationwide screening tour throughout film festivals, universities and institutions.
Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Miss Representation charges maintream media with presenting portrayals of women that make it difficult for women and girls to see their leadership potential.
An interesting film, which seems to extend one of the conversations explored in Byron Hurt's 2006 documentary Beyond Beats and Rhymes, which touched on misogyny and exploitation of women in hip hop.
See an extended trailer for the film below:

Hmmm. I wonder if they'll cover how the media teaches American males and females, specifically, that some women deserve to be loved and cherished while others are the undeserving. I just don't think they'll talk about their privilege...hmmm. Searching for Debra Winger? Come now... When you don't tell the whole story, your argument gets pshawed not that it matters coming from me, a member of the undeserving. Yeah, this stuff makes me crotchety...

Do You Know the NBA Rulebook?
This is a quiz that Joe Borgia - a former NBA official - writes and gives it to NBA media members. These are all TRUE or FALSE questions. I want to see how the CH crowd does with these: 1. Player A5 legally taps the opening jump ball and player A1 gains possession near the baseline in his backcourt. A shot clock violation occurs when Team A fails to attempt a shot and the horn sounds at 11:34. The game clock MUST be reset to 11:36 (12:00 - 24 = 11:36). 2. While Player A1 is dribbling the ball the official suspends play for defensive player B1 who is bleeding. Following the 30 seconds, Player B6 replaces B1. Team B then may be granted a timeout. 3. Following a successful basket by A1, Team B is granted an excessive timeout at 12.3 of the fourth period. Following the full timeout, Team B may not advance the ball and must inbound on the baseline. 4. During a throw-in following a successful basket at 1:23 of the fourth period, Player A1 passes to A2 who is also out of bounds. Defender B1 deflects the pass and therefore should be assessed an unsportsmanlike technical foul instead of a delay-of-game. 5. Following a successful basket at 3.3 of the period, thrower-in A5 rolls the ball up the court. The clock incorrectly starts and the official blows the whistle after the ball is picked up near the 28-foot mark. The ball shall be returned to the baseline and the game clock reset to 3.3. 6. Player A3 is injured and cannot attempt his free throws as a result of a flagrant foul 1. The coach of Team A will select one of the four remaining players in the game to attempt the free throws and Player A3 will not be permitted to re-enter the game. 7. Player A1 throws an alley-oop pass during a throw-in with 0.2 on the game clock. Player A5 taps the ball into the basket. The officials will use instant replay to confirm the ball was released prior to 0.0. 8. Player A1 is dribbling in his frontcourt and loses control of the ball into the backcourt. Player B1 controls the ball and is immediately fouled from behind near the tip-of-circle with no defender ahead of him. This is NOT a clear path since possession was not gained in B1's backcourt. 9. Defender B1 commits a foul at 1:23 of the fourth quarter and the officials are notified it is his fifth personal foul. At 1:12 Player B1 is fouled in the act of shooting and scorer informs the officials that Player B1 had in fact received his sixth foul at 1:23. This is a correctable error and since it was discovered within 24 seconds Player B1 will be removed and the game clock reset to 1:23 and foul at 1:12 will be nullified. 10. Player A6 enters the game prior to Team A's throw in. A 20-second timeout is granted when Team A cannot inbound the ball. Players A7 and A8 may replace A5 and A6 prior to the throw in.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Dougherty High students are no longer having to hang out in the gym rather than going to class. A scheduling snafu has been resolved.
Last week when school resumed, about 150 students received schedules that didn't have classes for each time period. Administrators blamed the problem on a computer glitch and called in extra counselors to get it resolved. Those students sat in the gym during the time they weren't scheduled for a class.
As of Wednesday, all students have schedules and are in class for each period.

Hanami is great...until it starts raining.
A sudden and constant downpour dampened the spirits of thousands of cherry blossom revelers at Tsurumai Park at the weekend.
Tsurumai Park is the most lively spot in Nagoya for cherry-blossom viewing and the boisterous, drunken atmosphere is similar to Maruyama Park in Kyoto.
All human life is here: students, salarymen, street sellers, musicians, office ladies, hookers, gangsters, gay cruisers, bosozoku, karaoke crooners, homeless, police officers, performers, foreigners and of course, lots of drunks.
During the cherry-blossom season partying goes on pretty much 24/7, with some people camping out overnight to be sure to bag a spot to place their blue tarpaulin.
The rain, though, does drive away all except the very hard core or very drunk.

Another day and another 'tanking' controversy at the Olympics. Algerian runner Taoufik Makhloufi has been thrown out of the Olympics for not trying during his 800m heat. Makhloufi was not a favorite in the 800m, but was thought to have a shot at a medal in the 1,500m in which he had already advanced to the finals with the fastest qualifying time.
After making the finals in the 1,500m Makhloufi decided to focus on that event and not run in the 800m, but Algerian officials did not withdraw him from the race by Sunday's deadline. As a result Makhloufi was forced to run the 800m. Not wanting to tire himself out Makhloufi jogged for ¾ of a lap before stopping, he then walked to the infield and clapped for the rest of the field as they lapped him.
Despite his good spirit the International Association of Athletics Federation was less than pleased by his effort and threw Makhloufi out of the Olympics entirely. A spokeswoman said he could be reinstated for his 1500m final if he could get a medical certificate from a doctor excusing his poor performance.
Much like the badminton scandal it seems like the ruling body will come under as much or more fire for this decision than the athlete in question. Makhloufi didn't want to race in the 800m; that much is clear. But how much effort would he have had to give to be allowed to race in the 1,500m? If he walked the two laps would that have been enough? It would seem not advancing in the 800m should be punishment enough.
