Upon being spawned from Armenes, the Dekans, widely scattered, tried to acclimate themselves to the strange environment.
Assembled under charismatic Ferdinante Don Endriago, Dekans began converging upon Armenes in preparation for self-protection. Rev'Deca is the capital they collectively built. Constructed on water's surface, the royal palace of the current king Ferdinante Don Endriago is located deep in the city, and shops and major facilities are built circling with the massive central fountain. A single gate serving as the sole passage to the outside and the city walls erected in the city outskirts plainly reflect their isolationist tendencies. Stone statues and adornments in the shape of dragons can be found readily on the streets.

Alleged 9/11 Mastermind to Be Tried by Military Commission
Posted Apr 4, 2011 11:35 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
In an about face, the U.S. Justice Department has announced that accused Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be tried by a military tribunal rather than civilian courts.
Mohammed will be tried at Guantanamo along with four alleged co-conspirators, according to the New York Times and ABC News. The Obama administration had previously planned to try Mohammed in New York City.
The decision comes after Congress refused to appropriate funds for an expensive civilian trial or to house Guantanamo suspects within the United States. The decision to try Mohammed before a military tribunal is a setback for President Obama, who had announced after he took office that he would close Guantanamo Bay by January 2010, the Wall Street Journal (sub. req.) reports.
A formal announcement of the decision is expected later today.

HFA only issues mechanical licenses to record companies in the United States. However, HFA does maintain reciprocal representation agreements with affiliated foreign collecting societies and the territories they represent. This provides collection and monitoring services to HFA-represented publishers in these territories. Click here for a list of the foreign societies and the territories that they represent.
HFA maintains relations with over 30 Foreign mechanical licensing societies representing most of the world's major music markets. Click here for a list of the foreign societies and the territories that they represent.
You will need to submit an online Notification of Foreign Activity form to HFA. Click here for the Instructions for the Notification of Foreign Activity. For further instructions on executing this form, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The form is reviewed by HFA's client relations department and then logged into your client file. Finally, it is forwarded to the appropriate societies.
It depends on the territory and the affiliated publishers. Although some societies distribute mechanical royalties on a quarterly basis, most societies distribute either semi-annually or annually.
Yes. The foreign society's commission rate is deducted, as well as HFA's commission.
No. The U.S. statutory rate does not apply to recordings manufactured outside of the United States and royalty rates in foreign territories are typically established through industry regulation and/or government regulation in those territories. In most territories, the royalty rate is a percentage of the record companies' PPD (Published Price to Dealer) for a particular recording, with the per-track royalty determined on a pro-rata basis according to the number of copyrighted compositions contained on the recording.
It depends on the territory involved and the length of time that has elapsed. Although it may be possible in certain instances for some societies to collect "retroactive" payments, statutes of limitations vary from territory to territory. It is best to notify HFA as soon as possible following the release of your music on foreign-made recordings.
Foreign societies deduct commissions ranging from 5 to 20% before remitting royalties to HFA. HFA's commission is then deducted before distribution to the publisher. Click here for HFA's Commission Rates.
No. HFA only examines record companies and other entities to which it issues licenses. Since HFA does not generally issue licenses to foreign record companies, HFA instead relies on its affiliated foreign representatives to undertake such examinations.
Disputes in foreign territories are typically resolved by the foreign societies in accordance with their established practices. HFA will act as a Liaison for Disputes and Counterclaims between its clients and the foreign societies. HFA's services include the coordination of the exchange of correspondence and documentation that the society might request as part of its determination.
HFA collects and distributes royalties only for mechanical rights both in the US and internationally. ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC administer performing rights on a worldwide basis by virtue of their own networks of reciprocal representation agreements.

Mums the word
Ryan brought home these beautiful mums, which I happily placed in a stoneware container my mother-in-law had given us, and they look so cheery on our coffee table. I noticed these delicious little satsumas displayed front and center at the grocery store and had to take some home with me. Also, I treated myself to these fun boot socks. Ryan cleaned our gutters and collected leaves from the yard yesterday – 12 yard waste bags and one full compost bin later, the yard looks much better!

Turn on and off letter pop-ups/popups/popups
Setting to disable the key popup during keypress
To have option to turn on and off pop up keys
This app is awesome but it's annoying that I can't disable pop up key press. Actually is deal breaker for me. When unlocking lockscreen or entering password in some app is easily to see whoever is around me. Maybe someone already have mentioned it but I really think it's a must have option.
It lags my phone when I try to type fast. Plus it's distracting because it only appears for a quick second.
Please add the option to turn off pop-up on keypress.
I don't want the pop up of the keys but I haven't found a way to disable it. How can I do?
Option to disable / enable Keypopup would be nice
You know how, when you press a key, it shows the key you are pressing above your finger?. Presumably, this aids in accuracy. But on newer phones that have huge screens (and therefor a lot of keyboard space) this function is more distracting and a lot less necessary than it used to be. Please add an option to remove this function. Thank you.
When I type, what I type pops up. This slows down my typing speed. Please get rid or make an option to get rid of it
I would like an option to stop the letters from popping up when I am typing. It is distracting.
Able to slide select pop ups again:-) Number pad should be center, smiles pup up too big to be efficient. Redundant ,. on the . pop up makes slow ?!
I would like an option to have the popups and predictive of, cause you have already rapid keyboard. the pops and preds bother me when typing.
Option to get rid of letter popping up above keyboard while typing. Very distracting when trying to type fast. Popped up letters covers keyboard and slows down typing.
When entering a password field there should not be popup characters.
Es wäre super wenn man die Buchstabenpopups ausschalten könnte. Und am Besten wäre es, wenn wenn man sich seine Tastatur vom. Aufbau her selbst Zusammenstellen kann. Also ob jetzt bestimmte Zeichen angezeigt werden sollen oder nicht.
Disable the key pop - up while typing on the white keyboard as this seems to slow typing down
Please add an option to disable the key popups (theme independent). These popups have no sense, because nobody looks at them during typing.
Also a number row and a tab key for use on tablets would be nice. There is plenty of space available.
Option So key letter does not pop up when clicked. Can be annoying sometimes
I want to see the letter pop-up when I hit it. It's on the dark theme, but not in the neon theme.
When a character is touched it would be great if you show the selected character on top of it on all the themes like it happens on the dark and light versions. The pumpkin and neon themes does not show this feature.
Please add letter highlights to both pumpkin and neon themes. On other two and would almost perfect the app
I like the letter popups when using the dark or light themes, however, the pumpkin and neon themes are my favorite. Instead of having some themes with popups and some without, why not make it an option to enable/disable letter popups regardless of the selected theme?
Why can you not make the keyboards function the same, I like to see the
letter pop up as I type, it only works on the white and black keyboards.....
I like the neon option, but miss the confirming feel I get from the letter
pop ups as I am typing,
Please update
I find the character popup feature (a useless thing copied from iphone) very annoying. My first and foremost reason to use a different keyboard is that I want to get rid of this stupidity Steve Jobs forced upon iphone users and introduced to smartphone market.
The letters and numbers don't pop up when you press a key other than dark theme. Any ideas?
In the themes Pumpkin and Neon, there is no popup with the key just typed. This hinders usability of those themes. That's a pity, because Pumpkin otherwise looks really nice (I hope it will stay!)
The themes Dark and Light do work properly.
I would like an option to see the letters pop up. It would be nice to add options to extend the keyboard higher on the screen, similar to thumb keyboard. They allow for the customer to enlarge the keys.
Original android keyboard has the option to disable pop up on a key press. Would be nice to have that option.
Currently when any key is pressed, the bigger version of the key popups which can be distracting at times.. An option to disable this (like in the Touchpal keyboard) will be good
As you type using the "Dark" or "Light" theme, the key strokes are displayed above the keys. I feel these rather large images of the keys popping up as I type are distracting. Especially the space bar! It is one huge green/black rectangle. Totally not needed. The Neon theme, however, does not display the keystrokes above the keys.
There should be an option to toggle on/off the display of keystrokes above the keys when you type.
Please give the option to remove the .Com key because it is very annoying when trying to space and allow disabling of popup keys because that's unnecessary.
Would love the possibility to customize more; primarily in the SIZE of the keys and the constant popping up of the letters.

Its been 3 years this is under review???
Really... I just downloaded Swiftkey and has been like an hour struggling the way to disable it until I found this. Unbelievable it's impossible...
Haris commented
Come on guys...
1. Deactivation of PopUp
2. Availability to activate more than 3 Languages at ones.
Thx a lot...
Haris commented
Please Disable the PopUp Option!
Who needs popup today?!??
Thx for deleting...
Greetings from Switzerland
Diego Marcondes Domingues commented
This is function is very slow on Swiftkey now, I would like to disable it too!
Evan Tapper is INCORRECT. The popup is native to the pumpkin theme.
It is a SECURITY flaw not to implement this ability. I don't want others to see each letter that I type.
Pietro Nobile commented
Useful for password, but no for rapid use. Keyboard is
Pietro Nobile commented
Useful for password, but no for rapid use. Keyboard is
I also would like this. I have no need for it and would like it disabled.
Gnsks commented
Is this ever going to be implemented? Seriously, it's not that hard and it's clearly a well-requested feature. What gives?
Tarek Midani commented
Yes yes please! In the Android Community there are many savvy geeks, and many among them are jealous of their battery life and RAM like no other. You can tell if they use black theme in combination with amoled screen. Please allow us to disable Pop-ups. The idea of it also appeals to my minimalistic lifestyle
Matthew Gonzalez commented
Disable this popup nonsense. PLEASE!!
I put 3 votes on this one. it would be a wonderful improvement
I don't need predictive or word suggestion too... Please make it can be turn off.
Nichole commented
It would be better if the prediction bar would go away! But other than that it's good
Yash Mehta commented
Most of the other Android keyboards provide the option of disabling the character pop-up feature.
Shan commented
I'd like to disable for security reasons so no one could look over my shoulder and see what password I'm typing into my phone.
Torsten Krause commented
You can also add a delay time for these letter pop-up.
At the moment it pops-up to fast. I can't swype the word if the second letter is behind the pop-up. An other solution is to show up the pop-up in front of the text element instead of the keyboard..

Smashburger shows off their tasty menu of burgers, sides
Smashburger is a paid sponsor of Sonoran Living Live
Love a big, juicy burger? Then you'll love what Smashburger has to offer.
Smashburger was born to carry the torch for the modern burger lover. Where smash. sizzle. savor means a dedication to creating the best-tasting "smashed-to-order" burger. We start with 100% Angus Beef, smashed, seared and seasoned on the grill, placed on a butter-toasted artisan bun and topped with the highest-quality cheeses, freshest produce and condiments. A place where you can get a meal for every taste and appetite, where you can select one of our great recipes or you can create your own. A place that is close to home and affordable. Where the energy is comfortable and relaxed. Where the food is served to you quickly and on a plate - not in a bag. - Smashburger is the better way.
If you're not in the mood for burgers and fries, Smashburger also offers lighter options. Their menu has a variety of chicken sandwiches and salads. They use a 5 ounce chicken breast and it is hand smashed to create a tender cut of chicken for the sandwich. There is even a black bean patty as a great vegetarian option that is prepared with cilantro, blue corn tortilla chips, garlic croutons, jalapenos, Cholula, onion, and cheddar cheese.
Smashburger Phoenix recently teamed up with Four Peaks Brewery to create a burger and beer pairing menu. The founder of Smashburger, Tom Ryan, met with the founder and brew master of Four Peaks, Andy Ingram, to create a harmony of flavors between the two products. They paired signature burgers, chicken sandwiches, and the black bean patty with various Four Peaks beers. These pairings are available at all valley locations with the exception of ASU.
Smashburger came to the valley 3 years ago and have opened 12 locations since. There are going to be 3 opening in 2013. Go to www.smashburger.com to find the location closest to you.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- The U.N. Security Council responded swiftly to North Korea's latest nuclear test by punishing the reclusive regime Thursday with tough, new sanctions targeting its economy and leadership, despite Pyongyang's threat of a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the United States.
The penalties came in a unanimous resolution drafted by the U.S. along with China, which is North Korea's main benefactor. Beijing said the focus now should be to "defuse the tensions" by restarting negotiations.
The resolution sent a powerful message to North Korea's new young leader, Kim Jong Un, that the international community condemns his defiance of Security Council bans on nuclear and ballistic tests and is prepared to take even tougher action if he continues flouting international obligations.
"Taken together, these sanctions will bite, and bite hard," U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice said. "They increase North Korea's isolation and raise the cost to North Korea's leaders of defying the international community."

Parking in Downtown Roanoke could soon get much easier.
With some parking restricted to just 15 minutes and others to one hour, it can be difficult to find a spot that gives you the time to eat, go shopping, or just enjoy the many downtown festivals.
City leaders are working to make street-side parking a little more flexible and consistent.
The plan is to make most on-street parking spaces two-hour spots.
Downtown parking leaders recently made a presentation to Roanoke City Council leaders about the progress.
They said they are finished with phase two of a five-part implementation process to improve the overall management of parking downtown.
The idea is to get rid of the negative perception of parking by following the recommendations of a study.
Those leaders have completed a request for information on more parking pricing strategies. One suggestion is to bring back meters to help make the turn over of parking quicker.
This way you don't have someone parked in the same spot all day, not allowing shop owners to get more business.

An Aynor police officer has been fired after authorities say he offered to tear up a traffic ticket if a woman he pulled over lifted her shirt. State Law Enforcement Division agents arrested 24-year-old Bradley Jordan on Thursday and charged him with misconduct in office. Investigators say Jordan pulled over a woman on a traffic charge last week. She complained that Jordan asked her to show her breasts to get out of the charge within an hour of the stop. Aynor Police Chief Bubba Thompson says Jordan was suspended immediately and fired Wednesday. A listing for Jordan could not be found and it wasn't known if he had a lawyer. He faces up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine if he is convicted.

Newport stalwart Gethin Robinson excited by fresh challenge at Ebbw
10:48am Wednesday 21st May 2014 in Sport
NEWPORT stalwart Gethin Robinson is relishing a new Gwent rugby challenge after penning a deal with Ebbw Vale, writes Chris Kirwan.
The 31-year-old prop has been a Rodney Parade mainstay since making his Black and Ambers debut against Cardiff in April 2003.
Robinson was a key member of the side that won the Premiership in the first season of the semi-professional era and went on to make 246 appearances over 12 seasons.
The tighthead, who also turned out 47 times for Newport Gwent Dragons, formed a formidable triumvirate with loosehead Dai Pattison and hooker Andrew Brown, all three of whom have enjoyed spells as club captain.
But Robinson's time at Rodney Parade has ended and life at Eugene Cross Park begins; a mix of sadness and excitement for the front row forward.
"Newport has been my club for all of my adult life," he said. "It was a big decision to leave and I had a lot of sleepless nights weighing the options up.
"It was tempting to stay with my mates and make it to 250 appearances but I am sure I have made the right choice.
"I felt that I needed a change after being at Newport for so long and Ebbw Vale is an exciting challenge and one that I hope will bring the best out of me and extend my playing days.
"I am well aware that I face a battle to get into the team because their front row (containing tighthead Robert Sevenoaks) has done so well but hopefully my Premiership experience will add to what is already a strong pack.
"I'm excited about what lies ahead, it will be odd when I go back to Rodney Parade but I can't wait. I am sure there will be a little wink with Dai before the game but then it will be a great battle in the scrum."
Head coach Jason Strange is delighted to have brought in a rival for Sevenoaks' number 3 jersey.
"We have already got a fantastic front row but we need competition for places in the Premiership and at least two players battling it out for every spot," said the former fly-half.
"And what pleased me about the conversation with Gethin was that he shares our ambition and desire to be successful."
Ebbw have also strengthened their back line with the signing of Owen Williams from champions Pontypridd.
The 29-year-old signed for the Sardis Road outfit from Blackwood in 2008 and was their player of the year in 2011, with his exploits earning him a place in the Wales Sevens squad that won the plate in the South Africa leg of the IRB series.
The Steelmen will announce more arrivals that boast Premiership experience in the coming days.

Billy Wagner Hurt
According to the New York Times, Billy Wagner has injured his elbow and will miss all of the 2009 season. Wagner had previously stated that he would not continue to pitch after his four-year, $43 million contract with the Mets expires next year. If he doesn't change his mind, that means he's through. For their $43 million, the Mets got 187 innings of Wagner's services. Surprisingly enough, Wagner's absence means the Mets will be players in the Frankie Rodriguez hunt. That's another reason why K-Rod isn't worth $50 million.

"The Kids Are Gone and We're Strangers"
He Says, continued
"I was raised outside of Boston. My family -- Dad, Mom, my older sister, and I -- lived in a three-bedroom apartment above the drugstore Dad owned. My mom was a school secretary. I got interested in computers in the early 1980s, switched from industrial engineering to software programming, and was hired by a large New York firm. I worked there for 15 years, but in the early 1990s, the company was forced to make layoffs, and I was one of them. I was out of work for seven months before I got my current job. It was a very tough time. I felt I was letting my family down.
"Kate is the finest woman I've ever known. My meeting her was pure good luck. I was visiting my grandmother, and she asked me to return a book to the library where Kate was working. It was love at first sight for me. She thought I was kidding when I asked her to marry me so soon, but I couldn't have been more serious. I wanted kids right away, too. And she's wrong about the peace and quiet: I liked having kids hang out at our place; it's just that I also wanted private time with my wife. We're the only couple I know who've never once been away for a weekend alone.
"For a long time, I was so caught up with work I didn't realize we had drifted apart. Kate may have vowed to be a good mother, but I vowed to be a good provider so that my family wouldn't have to worry about every cent the way my folks did. When Kate complained, I didn't pay attention. I figured she was overreacting because of her lonely childhood.
"I'd love to get back to the way we were. But I'll be honest: There's a lot about Kate I don't like anymore. She's always nagging me or the kids about something. But I swear, I am totally committed to our marriage."

Heading into Game 4 of the Eastern Conference final, you would never know that the New Jersey Devils had dominated play through most of the three games. Despite the marked edge in play, New Jersey had been consistently frustrated. The New York Rangers held a 2-1 series lead and, behind the play of a stingy defense and goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, seemed poised to take a stranglehold lead on their Atlantic Division arch rivals Monday night.
The Devils had other ideas.
While they couldn't take advantage of a lopsided amount of territorial play in two 3-0 shutout losses, New Jersey made sure early in Game 4 that would not happen again.
Goals by defenseman Bryce Salvador -- his third in 16 playoff games after recording none in 82 regular season contests -- and Travis Zajac -- his sixth of the playoffs, which ties him for the team lead with Ilya Kovalchuk after managing just two in 15 games during the season after returning from an Achilles injury -- within a 3:49 span midway through the first staked the Devils to a 2-0 lead.
It would be all the offense N.J. would require to secure the triumph on the way to a 4-1 win as the Devils evened the series at two games apiece.
Zach Parise -- possibly sparked by coach Peter DeBoer's line juggling that reunited the captain with Zajac and Dainius Zubrus -- was excellent, posting two goals of his own and adding a beautiful assist on Zajac's one-timer.
New Jersey continued another trend in Monday's victory, and that is keeping New York off the scoreboard for the early portion of games over the course of the series.
The Rangers have not managed a first-period tally in any of the first four games, and have been shut out through two periods by Martin Brodeur in three of the four contests.
It's something that bears attention over the last three games, as John Tortorella obviously will have to make adjustments to generate some kind of offense for his Blue Shirts. With his club blanked in two of the first three tilts, DeBoer needed to make changes and did so quite effectively.
In what many times amounts to a game of chess, it's now Tortorella's turn to make his move.

Animosity Growing Between Arch Rivals
There have been some chippy moments in this series, capped by Brandon Prust missing Game 4 due to a suspension incurred for an elbow to the head of New Jersey defender Anton Volchenkov in Game 3.
As expected, it's getting more heated as the series heads to the latter stages.
After a sequence in which Mike Rupp gave Brodeur a shot in the Devils' crease, coaches DeBoer and Tortorella got into a screaming match between the benches.
The sight was reminiscent of another set of Atlantic Division bench bosses leading clubs that have a hatred for one another when Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma and assistant Tony Granato jawed with Philadelphia Flyers coach Peter Laviolette late in the regular season. It just goes to show the competitive nature of the best division in the NHL.
The series shifts back to Madison Square Garden for Game 5, and the mission is clear for both teams -- win two of the remaining three games. While the Rangers could go the route of winning two on home ice -- the reward for having the conference's best record -- New Jersey must win at least one more in New York.
If the Devils can continue to control play, dominate puck possession and keep the Rangers pinned deep in their zone for long stretches, anything is possible.

Two in a row? I can't believe it! What's next? Playoffs?
"I'm the best linebacker in football." "We're going to win out and make a playoff push." These are just a few of the comments made by a couple Dolphin players recently. As Dolphin fans, all we could have hoped for was that the players expressed this kind of confidence on and off the field before the 0-7 start, but it is refreshing. Wouldn't you agree?
Assuming we win out, is making the playoffs a reasonable thought to have? Reasonable? No. Possible? Indeed.
1) I wouldn't count on getting there via winning the division.
The Patriots remaining schedule looks something like "Iron" Mike Vs Justin Bieber, over and over again. KC (4-5), PHI (3-6), IND (0-10), WAS (3-6), DEN (4-5), MIA (2-7), BUF (5-4). That's right, just one opponent with a winning record and Buffalo seems to be falling apart, after their strong start. These teams combine for a 21-43 record (about a 1/4 of the losses are from Indy). I see the Patriots finishing 12-4.
So how about a wildcard spot?
Just within our division we have the Bills and Jets that will be fighting for a playoff berth via the wildcard.
2) What about the Bills?
The Bills have some tougher opponents remaining than the Patriots. MIA (2-7), NYJ (5-4), TEN (5-4), SD (4-5), MIA (2-7), DEN (4-5), NE (6-3).
These teams combine for a 28-35 record.
The loss column is a bit skewed due to facing the Dolphins twice in this span. Without us in the equation, it looks like 24-21. With the way the Bills have been playing as of late, I can see them finishing 8-8. IF we were to win out, we could beat out the Bills for that wildcard spot. That would mean the Dolphins sweep the Bills and their other loss comes from NE. Hey! It could happen.
3) What about the Jets?
These teams combine for a 27-36 record.
With the Jets at 5-4 and the Dolphins winning out, you can add at least one mark in their loss column. I can see the Jets losing to BUF and NYG as well. That would have them sitting at 9-7. We would win the tiebreaker with the better AFC record after taking out BUF twice, OAK, KC, NE, and NYJ.
What about us?
The Dolphins remaining schedule looks like this: BUF (5-4), DAL (5-4), OAK (5-4), PHI (3-6), BUF (5-4), NE (6-3), NYJ (5-4)
These teams combine for a 34-29 record.
Well, folks it doesn't look good. Not only do we need to win out, we face the toughest remaining schedule of all AFC East teams, and to top it off, the strong AFC North could potentially own the Wildcard race.
So I leave you with this last question. Are you drinking the kool-aid?

Shabbat Menu – Asian Cabbage Salad
3 comments | Leave Comment
This week's double portion includes a most beautiful conceptualization of our Torah. Moses teaches that "the laws which I command you this day, it is not beyond you nor is it remote from you. It is not in heaven… It is not across the sea… Rather, it is very close to you, in your mouth, in your heart, that you may do it." We have the potential to reach for what seems impossible and bring heaven down to earth. I love the connection of the heart to the mouth – whether it is a kiss from someone you love or a special dish that will make someone you care about smile. It's why I love to cook. And it's why I am so excited to share this heavenly hearts of palm recipe along with our Shabbat menu.

How do you keep your pot stickers crisp and avoid it going soggy?
I'm making a vegetable soup; salmon with tomatoes, peppers, and onions; mashed baby red potatoes; and of course challah.
I love salmon soup but use peppers a bit spicy n squeeze lime into the soup when serving. Yum. Its my fav!

Unity is what Jesus asked the Father to give His people. Remember the night before he died? He said, "Make them one the way we're one"—one in shared values, one in shared outlook and perspective.
People who struggle alone are like a bowl full of BB's. They share their nearness to one another, but they are each separate—not in unity. What Jesus prayed is that the Father would somehow melt those BBs together and make them one family, one purpose, one team, one unit, one life. Can't you hear the Savior saying to the Father, "make them one; give them unity?" In other words, make them more like a tub of butter, instead of a bowl full of individual BBs.
Why? Because when the turmoil inevitably comes, and you turn over a bowl full of BBs, they scatter everywhere. Do the same thing to a tub of butter and it stays intact. So, in a very real sense, the tub of butter should be like the church, not the bowl of BBs.
Unity is not a natural thing. It's not what happens in the fleshly life. The fleshly life produces chaos, not unity.

Integrated Network Barriers (INBs) are a network protocol for parallel processors. INBs are both pipelinable and have low latency. In this paper, we show that INBs implement barriers—which ensure that all prebarrier operations of any processor appear to complete before any post-barrier operations—and we show how to construct efficient, deadlock-free barriers for any interconnection network and routing function which has an acyclic queue dependency graph. As a special case, INBs can be implemented for any network and routing function for which there exists an acyclic channel dependency graph.

↵Shane Victorino knows this, having come up as a sports star in the Aloha State. That's why when he saw that the Hawaii High School Athletic Association, pressed by budget cuts, was looking to solicit private citizens and corporations for $1.2 million in funds rather than ask students to pay fees, he cut a check for $10,000, according to The New York Times. ↵↵
↵The $1.2 million only represents half of the cut the state made to the athletic budget for Hawaii's 25,000 students. Without covering that total, it's not just a matter of not having new uniforms or supplies, but simple logistics: ↵
↵⇥Camie Kimball, the athletic director at Molokai High School, a public school with about 330 students in grades 9 through 12, said sports teams usually must ride a ferry to Maui. The ride takes about 1 hour 45 minutes each way, and Kimball said the round-trip fare ran from $80 to $105 per student. ↵↵
↵Naturally, in this economy, Hawaii isn't the only state facing such slashes, but it might have a tougher time making do with such decreases than others. And with the $1.2 million drive having produced about $700,000 so far, a few more Shane Victorinos are going to have to step forward to stave off requests to have students to pay their own way--a request that might be difficult to take in areas such as Molokai, where the current unemployment rate is about 16 percent. ↵↵

Let me start out by saying that pre-season rankings mean absolutely nothing when it comes to winning games after the season starts. They represent,opinions, hopes and an attempt by sports writers to keep you engaged with College Basketball even though there is nothing happening at the present time.
Pre-season rankings do represent recognition for a body of work in the past. Some basketball programs have a history of consistently producing teams that perform well. These programs are a good 'bet'. A sports writer cannot go wrong backing a team that performed well in the previous year and is returning a substantial part of that successful team.
Other programs do not perform consistently. It may be true that these programs produce a remarkable team from time to time, but these programs have been unable to sustain a level of play that consistently produces the kind of results a sports writer seeks.
Its always great to OOOH and AHHH about great recruits but until that recruit steps on the floor against D-1 competition, and we see that recruit playing on the floor as part of a team, you never really know how that young man will perform on the ''big stage".
Now if I had been right about all this, it would come as no surprise that UCLA is ranked in the top 10 despite two years of dismal play and losses to middling WCC opponents. UCLA is a legendary program headed by a coach that has a history of success (if we discount the past two seasons). UCLA has amassed a fantastic new crop of players (#1 recruiting class??) and appears to be poised for greatness once again!
Seems to me we heard something like that last year didn't we? Fact of the matter is, in recent years, Howland has not been relating well to his young recruits. In recent years he has lost many talented front line players -- and not to the NBA.
Lets take a look at BYU for minute. Here's a program that consistently produces highly successful teams and (according to some) is bringing in the #6 recruiting class in the country! The team is lead by a well respected coach with a solid track record for success! Last year they beat PAC-12 Oregon; they beat PAC-12 Utah; posted wins against WCC Gonzaga and St. Maries -- all better teams than UCLA. A substantial part of last years very successful team is returning. The BYU faithful claim they can only be better and are predicting another dominating season! Yet . . . not ranked in anyone's preseason polls. Welcome to the WCC BYU. No matter what you do, you get no respect from the sports writers -- especially those located in an Eastern time zone.
St. Marys may be a poor step child in this discussion but can make similar arguments about the potential of their team. Proven performance, good coach, great recruiting class. Now in the defense of the sports writers, St. Marys tends not to play a tough pre-season schedule which can be a reason to question the potential of a team.
But if we were to accept that argument, why does U-Dub get a pass? True they have talent (St. Marys has talent) and they did win the PAC-12 regular season (St. Marys won the WCC regular season and tournament), but they never play anyone in the pre-season (just like St. Marys). Bleacher Report has them checking in at #25? St. Marys gets not a mention. There is this about it, at least St. Marys and BYU have the brass to step on the floor at the Kennel. Cannot say the same for Romar and his team.
What has all this to do with Gonzaga?
Well folks, even though these polls mean nothing, they do indeed mean something. If you beat a ranked team, that is a 'quality win' come tournament time. If you beat an unranked BYU or St. Marys . . . not so much. If you lose to a ranked team, its a loss but its almost never a 'bad loss'. Lose to an unranked team . . .
I strongly suspect Gonzaga, St. Marys and BYU will all find their way to the Big Dance this year. There is no question that two or more of these teams will have losses to WCC opponents.
If those opponents were ranked, we might be looking at a 4, 6, and 10 seed.
If those opponents are unranked, we might well be looking at a 11, 14, and play-in bid.
Tell the truth, who's really the better pre-season team? BYU, St. Marys, or the Huskitties . . . or UCLA for that matter?

NPR Puts Exec Ron Schiller on 'Administrative Leave' Following Comments About Tea Party
National Public Radio further distanced itself Tuesday afternoon from embattled outgoing executive Ron Schiller saying that he would be put on "administrative leave" following the release of a video in which he bashed Tea Party activists as "racist" and said that NPR would be "better off" without federal funding.
It was unclear from NPR's first statement, released early in the day, which of Schiller's many comments the radio network had disavowed. The second statement offered some clarification, specifically addressing the claims that the organization would fare better without federal dollars. But it did not highlight or specifically denounce any of Schiller's comments regarding the Tea Party movement, the Republican Party, or the American people generally - though it did broadly condemn his comments.
Schiller's impending departure for a post at the Aspen Institute makes the move to place him on "administrative leave" mostly symbolic.
Here is the statement in full:
The comments contained in the video released today are contrary to everything we stand for, and we completely disavow the views expressed. NPR is fair and open minded about the people we cover. Our reporting reflects those values every single day – in the civility of our programming, the range of opinions we reflect and the diversity of stories we tell.
The assertion that NPR and public radio stations would be better off without federal funding does not reflect reality. The elimination of federal funding would significantly damage public broadcasting as a whole.
Prior to the lunch meeting presented in the edited video, Ron Schiller had informed NPR that he was resigning from his position to take a new job. His resignation was announced publicly last week, and he was expected to depart in May. While we review this situation, he has been placed on administrative leave.

Only mad he got CAUGHT...
Submitted by Slyrr on Tue, 03/08/2011 - 8:30pm.
Make no mistake. The Jew-haters, liberals, socialists and communists infesting NPR and it's leadership are NOT upset with what their Shiller said. Quite the contrary. Behind closed doors I guarantee that almost EVERY boss figure at NPR/PBS says the same stuff. 'Jews run the world', 'The Tea Party sucks', 'We hate the GOP' and so on.
They're not firing Shiller because of what he said. They're firing him because he got CAUGHT.
This is another disaster for NPR/PBS, fresh on the heels of what they did to Juan Williams. They thought they could get away with it, and now the mousetrap is clamped firmly on their red little hands. So now they need a scapegoat to take the fall and try to maintain what's left of their shattered credibility. Thing is, it's too late. The damage is done. Their lies are exposed.
But don't worry, you NPR acolytes. Even if Congress cuts off NPR, the network will be just fine. After all - 'NPR only gets a tiny portion of its money from taxpayers', right? That's what you people who defend NPR to the hilt always say, no? The federal funding is 'paltry', 'miniscule', and the guys running NPR admit 'we'll be better off without Federal Funding'.
For once, we agree.
So don't worry. You'll get your money from other sources. And if your Shiller is any indication, those sources will be Al-Jazeera, Al-Qeuda and other Muslim terrorst front groups. Maybe you can offer your doners a free Muslim Tote bag with every donoate - big enough to carry the severed heads of at least two infidels.

Oh, wait a minute. No I didn't. CNN doesn't have anything about it, eiother the original story about O'Keefe's video or the later story about NPR's response. Hmmm. Maybe it's not really an important story, or else CNN would report it, right?
So I switched to CBSNews.com. Not there, either, except a single listing in "Most Viewed" (well, duh!).
NBC News, aka MSNBC carried it as the headline story.
ABC World News Tonight, not the headline story but still listed.
Update: CNN does have a story, but it's on their Politics page, not the front page of their website. It's a big story, but the gurus at CNN think that readers want to see a story about a burglar who was trapped by the householder and called 911 himself,—which they feature on their home page—rather than a story about a sting that unmasked bigotry at NPR.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - There is a new way to get free stuff and it all starts with the GPS in your cell phone. Several new companies have created apps for your cell phone that utilize the GPS tracking in your mobile phone. Foursquare is part social networking and part game, with a little savings thrown in.
Here is how it works. You download Foursquare to your Blackberry, iPhone, Palm or Droid and then find your friends. This way, wherever you go - whether it is the grocery store or a restaurant - you 'check in'. This notifies your friends in a constant stream where you are.
The game works this way. The more you visit a place, the more you earn points or unlock badges. So, it becomes a competition among friends. Each participating establishment will set a certain amount of visits to become 'Mayor' of the establishment. With the title of 'Mayor' you get deals and even free stuff. It is a way of rewarding loyal customers.
Lisa Smith of Charlotte is all about Foursquare. She knows the restaurants that are participating, so when she goes, she 'checks in' with Foursquare.
"I become a brand ambassador," Smith said.
When she is done, she writes a note about her experience in the 'tips' section of Foursquare. It means honest advertising from those who are actually shopping or visiting the establishment.
Friends enjoy the game because it lets them share good deals, say a coffee special at your neighborhood java joint, or a dry cleaning special at your favorite cleaners.
"I see Jim is at Starbucks right now, so I could swing by and have coffee with him after lunch," Smith said while looking at her iPhone.
Restaurants love the game. Jim Jones is General Manager of Big Daddy's Burger Bar on East Boulevard.
"It is almost like a frequent diner program," Jones said.
Lisa is a regular customer at Big Daddy's and has been 'Mayor' for a while.
"They offer free appetizers to the Mayor, so I love that, and I always bring a few friends with me," said Smith.
In some cities, you'll find Foursquare deals at places national chains as well. In Charlotte, the game is just starting to take off, but already has some self proclaimed Foursquare addicts already.
"I love it, I absolutely love it," said Smith. "You've got to sign up."

Wednesday night, the third pedestrian-versus-vehicle accident happened within the last two months.
It's the second time a person who was walking on a sidewalk was killed.
Callie Hanson had been living with the Demmerts for the last few weeks, when her friend Claire Demmert got a call that would change her life.
"I felt really upset, and I felt really bad for her kids," Hanson said.
The call informed Claire, her mother, Roberta Demmert, the woman Hanson said acted like a mother to her the last few weeks had died. Police said Demmert was hit by a drunk driver while walking on the side walk.
"She was really nice," Hanson said. "She was really funny, and she was a really good mom."
Hanson said Wednesday's accident makes her afraid to walk the streets of Missoula.
"It makes me unsafe," Hanson said. "They were walking on the side walk, and got hit by a car."
Now, after two other pedestrian-related accidents in the last few months, law enforcement and the city are taking measures to prevent not just pedestrian related accidents, but all crashes in Missoula.
"If we can come up with ways to change peoples' behavior, so those things don't happen, we can hopefully reduce crashes," said City of Missoula Transportation Planner, Dave Prescott.
Missoula police and Montana Highway Patrol both said they are continuing to focus on their DUI and distracted driving patrols.
'"I don't think we could have prevented last nights accident, or the one out on Mullan Road, even if they knew what was going on around them," said Missoula Police Sgt Chris Odlin.
City officials said traffic crashes in the Missoula-area cause eight fatalities, and more than 650 injuries every year.
"We certainly have seen more pedestrian accidents in last month, more so then we have had in past," Odlin said.
MHP statistics show crashes involving pedestrians have increased by 300 percent in the last year.
The city is planning a Transportation Safety Summit. They invite the public to join the conversation and share ideas for improvement.
"The purpose is to give people a better awareness of what kind of things cause crashes," Odlin said.
The course will focus on areas city officials said correlate the most with fatal accidents, drunk driving, driving through intersections, teen driving and not wearing a seatbelt.
Still, friends of Roberta Demmert said nothing can bring her back.
The Summit is being held next Thursday night from six to nine at Saint Paul Lutheran Church.

Another season, another playoff less April. We've been through our ups and downs and now its time to look forward to next year, with great enthusiasm. Next year not only are we saying our Isles will be a playoff team but many are saying we can be a competitive playoff team. So as we look forward to next year I think it'd be a good idea for us to share who we think will be playing on our team next year.
Feel free to add free agents or if you believe our draft pick is NHL ready. Also add what AHLers you think will be ready for the NHL next season. Basically just put together what you think our hopefully playoff ready Isles will look like next season.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) – The community came together Monday to remember a life cut tragically short.
It has now been six years since the brutal murder of Channon Christian and her boyfriend Chris Newsom, and the family is still seeking justice.
In an emotional memorial service, the Christian family welcomed the community to remember their daughter Channon.
"I just want to thank everyone for coming, we appreciate you guys. Without your support and your prayers we would not have gotten through the last six years," Deena Christian, Channon's mother said to a crowd of more than 100.
It's been more than half a decade since the murder of their daughter and for years they kept the annual memorial service private, but after many requests from the public, they opened it to the community to share in their grief.
"This could have happened to anyone's children and I think it really hit close to home," Deena explained, saying many people have followed their story and the trials and often ask how they can take part in honoring Channon.
The tragedy spawned the creation of the Sheperds, a motorcycle club created to keep Channon's memory alive and they were in full force at Monday's service.
"The Sheperd's are our family, they're not just our friends, they get us through each and every day."
The Christians say on the anniversary, everything is more difficult.
"It's the hardest day to get through, at work it was really tough, all I could do was think," Gary said.
"All I've been able to think about all day long is I wish I could have protected my daughter," Deena added. "I wish she were here but she's not, and there's nothing I can do."
But they say having more than 100 people to lean on helps, and each one of them holds a special place in the hearts of Gary and Deena Christian.
"They're brought to us from Channon, from our angel," Deena said.
And each friend, family member and even stranger released a balloon in the air, carrying their prayers and love up towards Channon.
On Sunday, a similar public memorial was held for Chris Newsom at his grave site at Woodhaven Memorial Gardens.
Both the Newsoms and the Christians will be in court when Judge Walter Kurtz is scheduled to hear a motion Thursday on a possible retrial for LeMaricus Davidson.
He's one of the Christian-Newsom defendants granted a new trial due to ex-judge Richard Baumgartner's painkiller addiction.
Orders for three of those defendants were set aside when Kurtz was assigned the case.
Just last week Baumgartner sent an appeal letter to the state retirement system.
He argues that the law denying pensions for malfeasance in office is unconstitutional and that the behavior he was convicted for did not arise from his duties as a judge.
But the Christians argue Baumgartner deserves to be in prison for what he did and his appeal for his pension is disappointing.
"I lose pay every day I walk into that courtroom but that doesn't stop me, I mean he sat up there doing what was supposedly the right thing, keeping it out of appeals, knowing he was doing drugs, he doesn't deserve his pension," Deena Christian said.
Baumgartner was convicted in federal court late last year for concealing a felony, the drug conspiracy involving his mistress.

Petitions, A Lockout, QB Roulette, and Summer is almost here.
Good Morning and welcome to decision day. Well, sort of, we will get a ruling which will lead to something next. While we all argue and discuss whatever we can come up with I have found myself wondering at the timing of life. I have more time on my hands than I have ever had. I have access to more information than ever and I found a site with a core of fans I have connected with. What do I get to do? Have the same debate 20 times. Sign petitions and try to decipher legalese. Bummer!

I have been a Bronco fan for a long time. Pretty odd when you consider that of all the places I have lived, Denver was a short time. But, John Elway came to town while I was there and I was already going to be a lifelong fan :D
Here I am within spitting distance of two pretty good teams in Baltimore and Philadelphia and I just don't care. I have tried to follow the Eagles but they are even more frustrating than being a Denver fan. I was kind of happy to see a team in Baltimore, then they got Shannon and I hated them. Yeah, it was love/hate, I did like getting to see him play regularly.
DSC00282 (via mcwhom)
I spent years glued to ESPN trying to get an update on the Broncos, I bought the USA Today on Monday so I could get the bigger coverage on the weekends NFL action. Talk about starving for info. The funny part of that is I am not sure I really know anymore than I did then. How much of what I know is mis information? LOL
DSC00281 (via mcwhom)
I wore that hat on the left for years, just got the one on the right this year (thanks Dad) on my trip, and that is the top to my sweatsuit behind them. Just can't bring myself to get rid of the hat and I am afraid to wash it :P There have been many great debates and conversations out here due to my team. For the first decade it was ALWAYS about John Elway. The level of hate out here for him makes the ire felt in Denver for Cutler seems like mild distaste. That has faded a lot over the years, helped greatly by the move the Browns made to become the Ravens.
DSC00279 (via mcwhom)
How sad is this? My Mother-in-law's friend (boyfriend) found this somewhere and bought it for me. I know he probably paid a buck for it. What did I do? Naturally I hung it on my wall ;D I guess I know I am a fan when all I have to do is say the Broncos are on TV this weekend and I am not expected to show up for any event or be anywhere but in front of the TV.
DSC00283 (via mcwhom)
Happy Days there!! Yes Sir! Going to three Superbowls and losing was painful. Even so, I would always say, "I would rather be in the game and lose". I stuck by that, being proud of my team for being good enough to get there. How could you not be with those wins over Cleveland. To get through those two playoff games in such spectacular fashion left me feeling like our team could win any game at any time. I really have to wonder sometimes if Dan Reeve's didn't secretly bring high school players to those games while the real players partied in the hotel.
DSC00288 (via mcwhom)
I've had this key fob in my pocket for almost 30 years. Maybe I should be buried with it. While I was in Denver I bought a really cheap old Datsun.... ok, Nissan.... But it was a Datsun B210, ugly faded orange. We had just lost our first Superbowl with John and I was still young and silly. As the season came closer I took a can of blue spray paint and painted a blue line down the middle of the car and a big blue 7 on the doors. Of course that fall the car threw a rod and died.
DSC00284 (via mcwhom)
I would love to be a part of a boycott, but for all the things I have I don't really spend many dollars on the team. I would not make much impact. Even not watching the game would not show up. I have signed two petitions so my name is out there. I Want Football! It is just a pass time and I could find another one, but I have been watching football as long as I can remember. I am a fan of the NFL because my Father is a fan of the NFL. My Dad would get a black and white tv, put it on top of our floor model tv and have both games on. Sundays were football, period. If the Cowboys were on, you shut up and watched. That is how the Broncos are for me now. We also have picture in picture and the internet for following all the games. I have not watched Comcast's redzone but everyone I know that has loved it.
What am I going on and on about? What is the point of a fluffy nonsensical posting? I really don't know, except that I am tired of the same old debates. I hate seeing fanposts that have been up for 7 days, or longer. I hate this work stoppage. I Want Football.
I would love to hear/read what the Broncos mean to you. Oh, and I do have lots more Broncos stuff but I figured I posted enough pics :D

Be aware that some books will treat covariant and contravariant tensors the same, which they are in an orthonormal basis, ...
I think I disagree with that statement big time. But first, can you please clarify what you mean by this statement? Thanks.
Since I'm not a mind reader, I don't know for sure what "homology" meant by that but I think I understand and I think I agree.
First, a qualifier: No general relativity text, nor any tensor calculus text, ever treats them as "the same". But that leaves a lot of other textbooks!
In any basis, the dual vectors (covariant rank 1 tensors) are isomorphic to the vectors (contravariant rank 1 tensors), via the fact that both are vector spaces of the same dimension. The isomorphism is through the correspondence between the basis dual vectors and the basis vectors.
However, there is in general nothing unique or "natural" about this isomorphism, because it depends entirely on the basis chosen.
-- and here's where the weasel gets in -- if you restrict yourself to orthogonal changes of basis, then ordinary dot product is preserved, and the isomorphism between dual vectors and vectors is fixed and "natural". And in this limited case, the distinction between covariant and contravariant tensors largely melts away.
Note, however, that this means you must use a basis at every point which is orthonormal under ordinary dot-product. But that means that you will often find yourself using a non-coordinate basis! The integrability conditions may not generally be met, in which case you can't extend the basis to a full coordinate system on the manifold.
Now, go pick up just about any intermediate mechanics text, and look at the way they write basis vectors. You'll most likely find they're wearing hats (^). They're using unit basis vectors, even though this means they must give up the convenience of having a coordinate system to back them with. One very large reason for doing this is that it allows them to retain the natural correspondence between vectors and dual vectors, and in consequence, they can totally ignore the distinction between covariant and contravariant tensors.
Symon's "Mechanics" text, for instance, is something of a standard among intermediate-level texts and it does indeed make no distinction between contravariant and covariant tensors.

South Dakota is expected to experience only a slight impact in the recent cuts announced by the Citigroup.
According to Janis Tarter, Citi Global Public Affairs, 2,500 Citigroup employees work in South Dakota and only less than one percent are expected to be impacted by the company's decision.
The bank said it looks to cut expenses and improve efficiency.
The company said Wednesday the cuts will result in about $1 billion in charges in the fourth quarter and about $100 million in charges during the first half of next year.
Citi expects about $900 million in expense savings in 2013 and annual expense savings of more than $1.1 billion starting in 2014.
