April's Teachers First recipient is a kindergarten teacher in District 11 in Colorado Springs. Tina Robertson was nominated by the school principal and her daughter. Caityin Morris says her mom is not only outstanding in the classroom, but a great parent too.
When it comes to teaching little ones, Robertson says, "I love this age, everything is magical, you mix blue and yellow, make green and they're amazed." She says that teaching kindergarten takes strong knees and quick fingers. For example, Robertson helped her students learn the concept of 30 feet by lining up 20 backpacks and even 29 5 year olds to show how long it really is. She says, "as many times as I can use their bodies, they actually retain the information better."
Tina Robertson admits to spending a slice of each summer dreaming up new ways of challenging the kids. "As soon as school is out, I'm preparing for what I can do next year and what I can do differently," says Robertson. "I just love kids so much, I don't know what else I would do, I really don't," she adds.
Tina has been a teacher for 19 years touching children's lives all the way from kindergarten thru the 3rd grade.

The Tar Heels Football team's official schedule for the 2013-2014 schedule was officially released this afternoon. The Tar Heels will, once again, be eligible for postseason play this season and will look to defend their Coastal Division title behind second year head coach Larry Fedora.
The Tar Heels will boast a veteran offensive unit that's led by senior quarterback Bryn Renner and a plethora of wide receivers that can make plays down the field. The big question mark of course that still remains is how will the Tar Heels be able to replace the value that Gio Bernard held for them in the backfield? With Spring Practice beginning, we should get several preliminary answers to that question as well as others that surround the team from a defensive stand point.
There are several games of interest on the new schedule most notably of course is the season opener which will be on Thursday Night in Columbia, SC against the University of South Carolina. This game will mark the college football opener in general and will include the Gamecocks for the fifth time in the last six seasons. The Tar Heels also get another Thursday Night game when they host Miami on October 17th in Chapel Hill.
The Tar Heels bye weeks occur on September 14 and October 12. The first open date proceeds Georgia Tech and the second proceeds the aforementioned Miami game.
One last game of interest that sticks out is the new addition of the Pittsburgh game who came from the Big East with Syracuse to join the ACC. Pittsburgh is in the Coastal Division and they'll take on the Tar Heels on November 16th at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh this season.
The entire schedule is as follows:
2013 Schedule
Day Date Opponent Site (TV)
Thurs. Aug. 29 South Carolina Columbia, S.C. (ESPN)
Sat. Sept. 7 Middle Tennessee State Chapel Hill, N.C.

Yesterday, we brought you news that Toyota could quit Formula One if FIA president Max Mosley's proposal for a two-tiered budget system is put in place. But the Japanese team based in Germany – currently enjoying its best season so far – isn't the only one making noise. Ferrari has hinted it could jump ship and put its energy into Le Mans, instead. Mercedes-Benz has said it could cancel its F1 program, and BMW has reportedly done the same. Now, three more teams are joining the call for the proposed regulations to be annulled, or else.
Next up to the plate is Red Bull, which owns and operates both the Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso teams. Owner Dietrich Mateschitz has joined the ranks of disgruntled team owners, saying he will not field his two teams next season under the proposed regulations.
Renault has not quite gone that far, but team principal Flavio Briatore has said that the rules need to be changed, the fashion king comparing the FIA's proposal to opening discount stores on trendy streets. The FIA has set May 29 as the deadline for teams to sign up and pay their fees to race in 2010, but with Ferrari, McLaren-Mercedes, BMW Sauber, Red Bull, Toro Rosso and Renault threatening boycott, that leaves only Williams, Force India and Brawn GP lining up on the grid next year. Those three are expected to go ahead regardless, because as independent F1 teams, if they withdrew or sat a season out, they would have no other obvious places to race.
Even with several new teams lining up to join the field next year, Mosley can't seriously hold his ground against all the sport's biggest teams... can he? It's a high-speed game of chicken, and somebody's going to flinch.

Visually, the body reclaims the faggotry, the effeminacy, the failed masculinity, always already installed in the naming of the terrorist, staging further defiance in the face of such easily rendered accusations of being a terrorist. The (white) secular norms by which queerness abides contributes greatly to (racist) Islamo- and homophobic representations of terrorists. That is, the queer transgressive subject accrues its legitimacy and currency at this historical juncture through an inability to disentangle these representations via a broader articulation of queer religiosity.

Welcome Back, Leos!
Students arrived on the University of La Verne campus Monday toting backpacks and hot coffee, some still sleepy-eyed from months of summer relaxation and others raring to go for the first day of t...
Online Edition
At age 26, Diana Castillo '09 is the youngest — and first female — news director at KLDO-TV in Laredo, Texas.
Diana Castillo had just finished delivering her news block on Univision 27 KLDO-TV's evening broadcast and the cameras focused on the sports anchor for the next couple of minutes. Per usual, she used the off-camera time to jot down notes on her iPad and touch up her hair and makeup.
Only this time, the cameras turned back to her a little sooner than she had anticipated.
"I looked up at the monitor and saw I was back on the air," Castillo said. Being the professional that she is, it only took a second for her to recover and continue with the program. But that was enough time for dozens of Laredo, Texas, viewers to log onto Univision's Facebook page and leave comments about the incident.
It was a big deal, in a good way. Because it was 10:35 p.m. on a Friday night and people in Laredo were watching and engaging online, this was a clear indication that KLDO-TV, the top-rated Univision affiliate, was gaining serious momentum.
And, Univision's success is Castillo's success. In April 2013, Castillo became the first female news director for both Entravision-owned Univision affiliate KLDO, and FOX affiliate KXOF. At 26, she is also the station's youngest news director and one of the busiest.
She anchors Fox News in English at 9 p.m., followed by Univision News in Spanish at 10 p.m. Sister stations, both news program sets are located in the same studio.
Castillo began working in Laredo in 2012 and was promoted to news director for both stations a few weeks after her one-year anniversary. Now, she is in charge, particularly when it comes to Fox. As a key player in helping launch the Fox newscast last year, she has run the station with a staff of four, which includes herself as news director and anchor, plus a general reporter, a weather reporter and sports reporter. There are no producers. She is in charge of the story budget, assigning Univision-affiliated reporters and photographers to locations, researching, and even writing her own copy for the teleprompter.
"We just started last year and we have taken the majority of viewers from our competitors," Castillo said. "It's happening in such little time. My general manager said she never expected this to happen that fast."
There is huge responsibility, but Castillo has been preparing for this career since she was 7.
It was 1994 and the Northridge earthquake had just shaken Southern California to its core. Instead of watching cartoons, Castillo was glued to the news. It was the sense of urgency and excitement that drew her attention. Back then, John Beard and Christine Devine on Los Angeles' KTTV Fox 11 News were her inspiration.
"I would get my hair brush and pretend that I was on TV giving the news," Castillo said. "My stuffed animals were my audience."
Like most kids, as Castillo grew older she developed other passions. She loved basketball, she loved homework and she loved tutoring other kids. While going through middle school, she actually thought about becoming a teacher. But her passion for news, her first love, crept back into her life in high school.
She was taking a graphic arts class at Upland High School in California, and noticed unused video equipment in the classroom.
"I asked my teacher if I could maybe take the camera and interview the principal and other students about upcoming events, and they let me," Castillo said.
Her initiative and drive to go above the call of duty back then inspired her teachers to open up a class called Campus News, which consisted of interested students filling the roles of a news crew. The student-run news station covered happenings around the city of Upland and was eventually broadcast on the local Upland community news channel.
"After that experience, I decided this is what I wanted to do," Castillo said.
It was during this time, while a junior in high school, that Castillo reached out to Professor of Communications Mike Laponis at the University of La Verne via email. She asked if she could come and sit in on one of his classes.
"I went and saw everything they did," Castillo said. "I liked that it was small enough that I would get to do a little bit of everything. I saw that there would be so many opportunities and it seemed like the perfect fit for me."
A short time later, Castillo found herself working toward her dream as a broadcast journalism major at La Verne. Small class sizes and a lot of hands-on learning provided the perfect environment for the self-proclaimed workaholic to develop the on-camera and off-camera skills she would need to thrive in her career.
She learned from the best that La Verne's Communications Department has to offer: Mike Laponis, Don Pollock and George Keeler.
"Those three really guided me on my journey," Castillo said.
But there was one adjunct faculty member in particular who made a tremendous impact on Castillo. She credits Rick Acosta, a part-time communications instructor, for helping her to polish her speaking skills.
"He really spent time with me and helped me control my voice, slow down while reading, pronounce words properly, and he showed me how not to 'sing' when I'm on the air," Castillo said. "Even today, his words pop in my head when I go live."
Acosta says Castillo's passion was evident.
"When I first met Diana, all she ever talked about was being a news reporter," Acosta said. "She sat in the front of my class and always asked questions. She had a rough start, with her voice inflections going up and down and her voice speeding up during a newscast, I would often tell Diana that it sounded like she was singing. She listened and worked harder on her presentations."
Castillo says she was like a sponge, absorbing the advice and training she received, and she constantly worked to improve her skills throughout her four years at La Verne. She worked as anchor for La Verne's LVTV -3 station and networked with industry professionals, who would present her with bigger opportunities.
During her senior year, she landed an internship with KZSW-TV in Temecula, an independently-owned station.
"They literally let me do everything," Castillo said. "I felt like an employee. Reporters would give me stories to produce. I would cover stories, report and write. The news director/anchor, Bob Fields, was the most intimidating person you will ever know, and I would write stories for him."
Two months after graduation, in July 2009, she got a call from the co-owner of the Temecula station who offered her a full-time job as a reporter. She accepted. Three weeks later, she was bumped up to anchor. She stayed with the station for a year, but had her sights set on the horizon. She knew that the next step forward in her career would require some real sacrifice, risk taking and, quite possibly, Spanish speaking.
Spanish was something her mom insisted she keep up. It was spoken in the house when she was a child and, as Castillo grew older, she knew that it would come in handy one day in her field. She was right.
After she made the decision to keep moving, she sent her newsreel 1,500 miles away, to Corpus Christi, Tex. Univision producers at KORO-TV were impressed with what they saw. After flying to Texas for an interview, Castillo got the job. It was Thanksgiving weekend 2010 when she received the news that Univision 28 hired her.
She spent her first Christmas away from her family, and her first day on air was December 20, her birthday. Though she said she felt it was a blessing, Castillo experienced a lot of change in a short period of time.
"It was a hard transition, moving away from friends and family and switching from English to complete Spanish," Castillo said. "It was a whole different ballgame."
She took the next step and, like a pro, adapted to her new environment and did the best job she could. It was a step in the right direction. She met new, important people and faced new challenges, particularly when it came to management.
"It was a blessing to work with my news director, Angel Covarrubias," Castillo said. "I learned a lot of my leadership skills working with him. He taught me how to remain calm during stressful situations, how to manage a team and get the job done no matter what. He was so experienced and patient."
She worked in Corpus Christi from December 2010 until April 2012. Then, opportunity came calling once again.
About 150 miles west of Corpus Christi, in Laredo, Tex., a plan was brewing to start a Fox English language newscast. The Laredo general manager was a friend of Castillo's general manager and wanted her to help him launch the network.
For Castillo, it was a no-brainer. She wanted to get back into the English market. This new position would allow her to anchor two broadcasts for two networks, one in English, one in Spanish.
The experience has been a rollercoaster a ride over the last few years for Castillo, but she says she would not have had it any other way. She appears to have nailed down the recipe for success early in life: work hard, reap the rewards. She even worked as a sideline reporter at the NBA Finals.
"My proudest moment was last month, watching Diana at the NBA Finals, in the post-game news conference, asking Danny Green of the San Antonio Spurs a question," Acosta said. "I realized how far she had a come from that young student of mine to a professional journalist. I know that one day, down the road when she returns to L.A. as a news anchor, she will be sharing her experiences with my class. Yes, I am very proud of her!"
Castillo's future aspirations include working for CNN, Good Morning America or coming home to work in the Los Angeles major market, of course.
Meanwhile, she is focused on the now, which is not too shabby.

Military: Syria chemical stocks threaten Israel
JERUSALEM — Israel's deputy military chief has warned that Syria's large chemical weapons stocks could be trained on Israel.
According to Maj. Gen. Yair Naveh, Syria has the largest arsenal of chemical weapons in the world. If the Syrians had the chance, he said, they would "treat us the same way they treat their own people."
Syria has not declared its chemical weapons stocks so their exact size is not known. Among other things, Israel is worried that such weapons could fall into the hands of anti-Israel militants should the Syrian regime crumble.
Israeli radio stations and newspapers carried Naveh's remarks on Monday. He delivered them Sunday night at a ceremony in Jerusalem commemorating fallen soldiers.
Syrian activists estimate more than 13,000 people have died since an uprising against the Syrian regime erupted 15 months ago, drawing a bloody crackdown.
Israel has been watching the carnage in neighboring Syria with increasing concern. The two countries have fought major wars and multiple attempts to reach a peace deal failed. Syria has strong ties to Iran, Israel's most fearsome enemy, and to Palestinian and Lebanese militants that have warred with Israel.

According to a tweet by James Wagner of the Washington Post, former Detroit Tigers starting pitcher (and current member of the Washington Nationals) Doug Fister had an MRI for an inflamed elbow.
Doug Fister has elbow inflammation. Had an MRI & will rest few days. Matt Williams isn't concerned. Fister told him he'd pitch if in season.
— James Wagner (@JamesWagnerWP) March 7, 2014
It doesn't sound like it's a huge big deal at the moment — the indication is that Fister would have continued to pitch if it was the regular season — but you're never comfortable with a pitcher who's reporting elbow trouble.
Fister missing any chunk of the season with arm troubles would changer the calculus of the trade in hindsight, but hindsight isn't generally a good way to evaluate trades (because you can only trade based on what you know — or should know — at the time of the deal). There aren't any indications that the Tigers were concerned about Fister's physical health going into the offseason (and he didn't miss a lot of time as a member of the Tigers), so this just looks like a bit of bad luck for Washington.
Either bad luck or nothing, depending on the eventual length and severity of the "injury". It might just be something that goes away with a little bit of rest.

Should Couples Stay Together for the Kids?
- Thursday, March 08, 2012
On another occasion I watched a mother leave her son who was ravaged by cancer. She had birthed him, raised him for years, given him a mother's love. However, when "Prince Charming" came into her life, she no longer felt any obligation to be there for her son as he struggled to live. "He has plenty of people to care about him. I need to do what I need to do for myself," she stated with little evidence of emotion. She had once been very religious, so I asked her what God thought of her abandoning the helpless child to the care of her husband while she started a life anew with someone else. "God loves me. He wants me to be happy. He wants me to do this."
These are heartwrenching examples, and certainly, many parents do agonize over their children's needs in the face of separation. But the lure of perceived happiness "out there" can quickly override those concerns - or even blind a parent completely.
What do children pray for?
Back in 1998, my wife and I saw the Sandra Bullock movie, Hope Floats.
I hope never to see it again.
Nothing against Sandra or the other actors; rather it was the scene where the daughter followed her father to his vehicle pleading, sobbing, and begging him not to leave. I remember reading at the time that the young actress became so distraught in the scene that Sandra impulsively came to the girl's emotional rescue. The girl threw herself into Bullock's arms continuing to sob in deep distress. It was the most emotionally devastated I have ever been at a movie. All I wanted to do was help that girl.
Of course, it was only a movie. Just acting, though at quite a cost. But it's real in so many ways. Tonight, there will be thousands of children praying alone in their bedrooms, begging God to stop Dad or Mom from fighting. Pleading with Him to lead their parents back into love. Fearing the apparently inevitable divorce that will split their family apart.
Over one million divorces will take place in the USA this year and the majority of those involve families with children. Many look for excuses to make them feel okay about not working out the marriage for the sake of the children. This approach helps them deal with the emotions, but it doesn't help the children. It doesn't help their faith. It doesn't keep them from worrying that somehow they are being abandoned by a parent that they thought would live in the same house with them and love them forever.
It is worth saving a marriage for the children.
No child has asked to be born. We bring them into existence. They don't owe us. We owe them. If we have the capability of reproducing, shouldn't we have the capability of responsibility? Parents need to work hard to not only save their marriages, but make their marriage good.
Absolutely not. Since 1999 I've personally witnessed "impossible" marriages saved. Not only saved, but husband and wife learning to be in love with each other again.
The only problems I believe are not solvable are those that involve continuing violence or abuse. No one should stay in a violent situation. As Kelley was quoted above, children in those environments actually feel relief when divorce comes. Nearly everything else is fixable. It takes two elements:
1. Each spouse has to stop doing the things destroying the marriage.
2. Each spouse has to start doing the things to make love grow.
This process will look different for each couple, but if both commit to it, there is hope for you, your spouse, and your children.

Visit Stia
The Italian village of Stia is situated at the foot of Mount Falterona, at the confluence of the Arno river (near its source) with the Staggia torrent - in the Casentino district to the east of Tuscany.
Explore Stia
Start a visit in the center of the village in Piazza Tanucci. This square is irregularly shaped and surrounded by arcades, which characterize the urban layout of the small town.
The square is named after Bernardo Tanucci, born in Stia in 1698 and minister of justice and chief royal adviser of Naples.
Of historic and artistic interest here are a stone fountain with metal ornaments and fresco by Pietro Annigoni (1910-1988), representing St. Francis.
Also in Piazza Tanucci is the parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta, in Romanesque style (although with a much more recent facade) and dating from the 12th century. Inside the church are some pictures of remarkable artistic value, such as the triptych of the Annunciation by Lorenzo Bicci*.
Also noteworthy is a Madonna and Child, attributed to the school of Cimabue, a white glazed terracotta by Andrea della Robbia (1435-1525), and a ciborium in polychrome glazed, presumably from the workshop of the Della Robbia.
Near Stia there is the Sanctuary of Santa Maria delle Grazie, dating from the 15th century, with some terracotta works also by Andrea della Robbia.
Near the church there is the cloister of the monastery. In the village below the castle of Porciano there's the old parish church of San Lorenzo, rebuilt in the 17th century.
Also interesting is the Parish Church of Stia, with a glazed terracotta depicting a Madonna and Child with St. Roch and St. Sebastian, by Santi Buglioni* and dating from the 16th century.
Inside the "Florentine palace", residence of the Guidi Earls from Palagio, there is a collection of Contemporary Art, which includes paintings and sculptures by contemporary Tuscan artists, such as Pietro Annigoni, Remo Brindisi (1918-1996), Mino Maccari (1898-1989), Ottone Rosai (1895-1957), and Bruno Saetti (1902-1984).
Lake of the Idols
Located south of Mount Falterona, the Lake of the Idols is the most interesting archaeological site of the Casentino, where very important artefacts from the cult of the Etruscans have been found. These included many votive offerings, hence the site being called the "Lake of the Idols".
Hundreds of bronzes were also recovered, some of which are now preserved in the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris. Considerable interest was aroused by the discovery of 10 stone and gold artefacts depicting a bull protome and some bead necklaces made of glass.
The bronze artifacts depict eyes, hearts, legs, feet, arms and hands and the statues date from the period between the sixth and fourth centuries BC.
Tradition and cuisine in Stia
Finally we remember that Stia, from the twelfth century onwards, was an important center for the manufacture of wrought iron. This tradition is maintained today with the installation of a famous international Biennal.
We should also emphasize that from the 19th century Stia was also an important center for wool processing. A visit to the Biennal can also be an excellent opportunity to enjoy the local products, such as the so-called "Tortello", a traditional dish of potatoes made in the region.

Book Description:
Situated in the south-west of Gabon, the Punu are part of a group of peoples known essentially for their white masks. These objects, which continue to impress collectors and enthusiasts of African art, fascinated Western artists at the start of the 20th century. The idealized realism of the face covered with white clay, the slightly narrowed eyes, the mouth with finely-edged red lips, and the sophisticated head-dress composed of several locks of braided hair are some of the stylistic features of these masks.The volume explores the context of ritual use of these important objects, which the Punu and related peoples would bring out for their dances, one of which is called mukuyi. The masks belonged to the bwiri, a secret society of men, and those wearing them were only chosen among initiates. They would perform acrobatic dances on stilts, most frequently at funerary rites and in honor of the ancestors embodied by the masks. This study of the Punu traditions and of their overlapping with other peoples in this region of southern Gabon is also pursued through an examination of other, far less well-known objects, such as the guardian statues of the bones of the deceased, amulets, musical instruments, and other elements of their material culture.Objects featured in the book are drawn from international collections, including the Brooklyn Museum, The Baltimore Museum of Art, Cleveland Museum of Art, The Natural History Museum of Buffalo, New Orleans Museum of Art, The National Museum of African Art (Smithsonian Institution), Art Institute of Chicago.

Clinical Application of the Bardex IC Foley CatheterVerleyen P. · De Ridder D. · van Poppel H. · Baert L.
Service of Urology, University Hospitals Leuven, Belgium
Objectives: We performed two randomized prospective studies with the silver-coated Bardex IC catheter in order to evaluate the incidence of bacteriuria during short- and medium-term catheterization after urological procedures. Methods: During catheterization only consecutive suprapubic urine samples were taken and cultured. After removal of the catheter the patient was allowed one wash-out void, and before the second micturition a suprapubic puncture was performed to collect a culture specimen. Results: In the first trial, after radical prostatectomy 18 patients with the Bardex IC catheter were compared to 17 patients with a silicon catheter after the same procedure. There was no significant difference in bacteriuria after 14 days (50.0 vs. 53.3%). In the second part of the study 180 patients were evaluated 101 with latex and 79 with Bardex IC catheters. The median catheterization time was 5 days. The results show a significant delay in the onset of bacteriuria when a silver alloy catheter is used (p < 0.003). On day 5 only 6.3% had bacteriuria in the Bardex IC group versus 11.9% in the latex group. Conclusion: We conclude that, after urological procedures, short-term catheterization with the Bardex IC catheter is superior to the classical latex catheter.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

For weeks now, Minnesota Timberwolves president Flip Saunders has said the team will do whatever it takes to retain restricted free agent, Nikola Pekovic. What it will take, is a lot of money.
Now obviously out of the Dwight Howard sweepstakes, the Atlanta Hawks have mass amounts of money to spend and are looking towards Minnesota's big man in hopes of creating a front line which would consist of Al Horford, Paul Millsap and the aforementioned Pekovic.
Jerry Zgoda expects the offer sheet to come soon:
Even with agreements tonite w/ PMillsap and DCarroll, Atlanta still is most likely of those spurned by DH-12 to make Pek a big offer.
Thankfully for Minnesota, they do hold the cards in the scenario, despite how expensive they may become as they can match any offer.
Coming into free agency, the Hawks had enough cap room to sign two max players though in the past day they signed both Paul Millsap and DeMarre Carroll which ate up about $10.5 million of that space. That still leaves plenty for Pekovic though and that's what the Hawks are counting on.
How much becomes too much for Pekovic?

Every year before the NFL season officially begins fans gather nation wide to buy their very own copy of Madden. The video game allows players (EA Sports estimates between 5 and 7 million dedicated fans) to play against one another as their favorite team, play through the career of a rookie player, and participate in many other NFL centered game modes. The game becomes more realistic year after year constantly topping the previous game. As the years have passed the game's popularity has rissen leading to a telivision show and even a madden bowl in which players compete for a trophy. Typically in the game the depth chart of the Oakland Raiders is poor to say the least. This should come as no surprise since the franchise has never really gotten the respect it deserves from the league it plays in. However, the newest edition of Madden says otherwise.
The NFL witnessed Terrell Pryor's mockery of the Detroit Lions on Saturday night. Now in Madden NFL 13 you can constantly remind your friends of the menacing presense that holds the clipboard behind Carson Palmer (Not Matt Leinart). With a simple flick of your right analog stick you can quickly sub in your number 2 quarterback changing the outcome of any short yardage situation. Without a chance to put a spy on the quarterback the defense must now be ready to stop a scrambling TP6 who has a worthy 90 speed rating. This advantage given to the silver and black is almost hard to put into words and it might even be a good idea to use in a real life game if Palmer continues to throw to the other team.
Darren McFadden is surprisingly underrated in this Madden game. His 91 overall rating would be received with a warm welcome by most running backs. The simple fact of the matter is that Darren McFadden is not most running backs. Despite injury problems throughout his career most can agree that McFadden is a top tier running back. However, players will still flourish using McFadden to lead the offense down the field drive after drive. He is also a solid option to split out at wide receiver.
Marcel Reese finally earns solid statistics in the new Madden. Reese as we all know is the Raider's X-factor. Teams today just simply ignore the full back position, and when you ignore the big wide receiver out of Washington then you are going to get burnt. Reese serves as an excellent check down receiver in the game, and also fills his blocking role rather nicely.
The Raider's receiving corps in no way at all resemble those in Green Bay. However, their speed can be utilized by any experienced Madden player making them just as deadly. The ratings of the receivers are well deserved in my opinion. Not one of these receivers have truly proven themselves as anything more then a overall of 85 (Darrius Heyward-Bey is the highest ranked receiver for the silver and black at 85). I expect that as the season goes on the ratings of the receiving corps will improve drastically.
The defense in Oakland has been in shambles ever since opposing offenses realized their game plan has been the same since the 70's. Coincidentally as Dennis Allen and the Reggie Mckenzie era has been ushered in so has an era of good defense in Madden. Typically the Raiders have been unable to stop opponents from running down their throats. The best way to stop any rushing game used in Madden NFL 13 is to utilize the 4-6 defense. Opposing running backs find themselves drilled in the backfield due to the beastly defensive line. The run defense is nicely complemented with defensive backs such as Tyvon Branch, Michael Huff, and Demarcus VanDyke stepping up their video game stature.
The atmosphere in Oakland is truly changing. People are no longer thinking of the Raiders as an easy win for their home team. Obviously the work being done by the staff and the players has translated over to fans being able to enjoy a video game a little more. In the end the primary goal will be to score real life touchdowns and translate that work into real life wins. Until then Madden will serve as a device to keep the Raider Nation sane while waiting for the ever anticipated regular season to begin.

There was no shortage of drama for the 30th Annual Curtain Up event on Main Street in the heart of downtown Buffalo. "The Ghost of Fort Niagara" at the Alleyway Theatre was one of 16 different productions that took part in Curtain Up 2011.
The live shows all began at 8 p.m. sharp kicking off the fall season of theatre in the Queen City.
"You don't have to come to New York or Toronto, you can come right here and have 23 theatres, all different types of theatre right at your door step," said Lisa Ludwig, Public Relations Chair for Curtain Up,
Shea's sold more than 13,000 tickets last year and they are already on pace to break that record this year, expecting more than 300,000 patrons.
Across the street at Bijou Grille, owner Bea Militello is celebrating a milestone of her own.
"We're celebrating our 20th year," said Militello.
With all of that experience she knows that her success has largely been dependent on a strong theatre community.
"We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the great job that Shea's does and other theatres...it keeps us going," explained Militello.

LINCOLN — The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services once calculated that it would cost $126,340 to turn over public records related to the Medicaid program.
It was an extreme example of what Lincoln Sen. Bill Avery called abuse of a law allowing government agencies to recoup the costs of responding to open records requests. Putting a stop to excessive and arbitrary fees is why he introduced Legislative Bill 363.

Die Gitarren der Pawn Shop-Serie wurden von den exzentrischeren Fender-Kreationen aus den 60er- und 70-Jahren inspiriert, die manchmal ihren Weg in die Außenwelt gefunden haben und in den esoterischeren Teil der Fender-Geschichte eingegangen sind. Kunstvoll hergestellt für Sound und Qualität von höchster Aktualität, weisen sie eine kreative Verquickung diverser Fender-Elemente auf. Ab 2012 neu in der Pawn Shop-Serie ist ein unkonventionelles neues Sortiment von "Gitarren, die es nie gegeben hat, die es aber hätte geben müssen".
Das Design der Pawn Shop Offset Special-Gitarre gehört zu den außergewöhnlichsten, die es bei Fender je gegeben hat. Sie verfügt über einen Semi-Hollow-Double-Cutaway-Korpus mit F-Loch und eleganter Offset-Taillierung, ein phänomenal klingendes Paar von großen JZHB-Humbuckern mit 3-Wege-Schalter und Adjusto-Matic™-Steg mit Floating-Tremolo-Tailpiece im Vintage-Stil. Dies ist eine Gitarre aus Vergangenheit und Zukunft.

Finally, Fender has released the kind of guitar I've always wanted... well, sort of. All maple neck, semi-hollow body, Jazzmaster pickups and vibrato, unique minimalistic styling; It should be an indie rocker's dream come true.
However, the stock electronics are useless. I was so excited to receive this guitar as a Christmas present and started playing it, then immediately was disappointed when I plugged it in. The JZHB's, stacked humbuckers with metal slug pole pieces, are in stark contrast to a real Jazzmaster pickup, a wide single coil with alnico magnet pole pieces. The output is far too high (neck pickup measures about 15k ohms, bridge pickup measures a ridiculous 30k ohms). It distorts my vintage tube amp at very low gain without providing any brightness. As usual, I also need to replace the tone capacitor with a value that doesn't sap all of the treble at a small turn of the dial. It amazes me how Fender can make such brilliant products while totally ignoring simple, but major aspects, Musicians don't want to buy a guitar for over $700 when they have to replace the electronics as soon as they get it, especially when they can find Squiers with good playability and better sounding pickups for less than half the price.
Who would have thought I would like this guitar so much. The blend of the JZHB Humbuckers with the Bridge - Vintage Style "Floating" Tremolo and the Tremolo Locking Button is a killer combo. Together with the semi - hollow unique shape and an F - hole to boot!
Unique look, Great sound!
I am running it through an American Made Fender Blues Jr. 1998. Wow, sounds great clean and dirty.

About Bill Patten
Summer resident of MDI for over half a century, author and retired newspaper publisher in midcoast area, raised three children in midcoast Maine, I enjoy sharing unique experiences and memories. My wife, who is a musician and composer, and I live part-time in South of France, but we have enjoyed the last three winters in the beauty and comfort of Acadia Lodge.
Bill Patten purchased this house in 2007
Why Bill Patten chose Hall Quarry
Somes Sound is a legendary sailing area both for the racing sailboats I grew up on and as a source of inspiration for some of my wife's recent compositions. We enjoy hiking on the National Park mountains that surround it. Hall Quarry where the house is located on the western side was once a granite quarrying village. From the top of Acadia Mountain one can hike along the park trails south over St. Sauveur and Flying Mountains past Valley Cove to an encampment where Native Americans used to settle for the summer and the Jesuits built and chapel in the 17th century. We collect mussels from the rocks at low tide, kayak along the edge of the Sound, sail out from there to have lunch on neighboring islands or take the outboard to the Claremont Hotel to have drinks and dinner.
What makes this house unique
The home is located down a half mile private drive on the 'quiet side' of Mount Desert Island but only two minutes from lovely Echo Lake (where my wife swims each morning with a group of women friends) and ten minutes from the thriving town of Southwest Harbor. This village offers excellent restaurants and stores, and a golf course and tennis courts. But it avoids the crowds in Bar Harbor which can still be reached in twenty minutes. Acadia Lodge combines privacy, a unique scenic location on the water, and easy access to the rest of the island.
Guestbook comments from the owner
If you want to see beautiful New England leaf color in October, then Mt. Desert Island, and the Acadia National Park in Maine, is the place to do so.
While most think of Bar Harbor, on the island as the place to visit with its shops and tourist atmosphere, the real treat is to visit the other small communities, like Northeast Harbor, Somes Harbor, and Southwest Harbor to experience the flavor of Mt. Desert Island life.
We had a wonderful experience staying at the home of William S. Patten, which is a short distance off Highway 102 between Somes Harbor and Southwest Harbor near the old Hall's granite quarry. The home has a perfect view of Somes Sound, and the forest of Acadia National Park and Mt. Cadillac beyond.
The home is a non-traditional 3-level Asian exterior design with open beam ceilings on both the interior second entry level, and the master suite above, with full views of Somes Sound. The property extends down a pathway to a boat dock with its own canoe on the Sound, and then up from the house, via a steep-hike pathway to a picnic area and fire pit with an even more stunning view of Somes Sound, Acadia National Park, and almost to Mt. Cadillac in the distance.
As we learned from Bill Patten, and the local Granite Museum, the home site was originally mined for huge slabs of granite cut from the hillside and loaded directly to sailing ships a hundred years ago. Because of the depth of Somes Sound, there was sufficient draft for the ships to pull along shore and load granite directly from the hillside to the sailing ships.
The home is spacious with great views but confined enough that it maintains a quiet cozy feeling throughout, on each of its 3 levels. The modern open kitchen is excellent for cooking meals for 4- 6 persons while entertaining the guests.
We felt the Patten home was the perfect 'home base' for a week of leaf viewing and unhurried entertainment. There was a great deal to see and do, but then we could return to the refuge of the Patten home and be in complete privacy with a view of the ocean's inlet and Acadia Park-- as if we were the only people on the island.

The thing is my data provider provides a free internet access to a certain web page(m.facebook.com) without a data plan.. My question is that can i use this site as some kind of proxy to get free internet access to other pages using software like pd-proxy etc?? I have also noticed that If some one shares a link to certain page on facebook and if i click the link through m.facebook.com it redirects to that web page and i use that page too for free.. so my question is how do i set up a proxy or a vpn to do this work?? i figured that if i somehow convince my ISP if I'm still browsing m.facebook.com they would let me browse for free.. How do i trick my ISP that i'm still browsing m.facebook.com ... sorry If my question was a little vague..
Without access to m.facebook.com's backend infrastructure, you're basically SOL on your idea bharath063 Regards
Thanks for the reply HELLFIRE But it sucks to know that nothing can't be done..
Hey HELLFIRE, I just had a hunch.. What if i were to share a link to google.com on my facebook and open that link while using m.facebook.com.. That would work I guess because if I click youtube videos that've been shared by someone on FB, I can watch those videos too for free.. And from then on I can watch whatever video I want from there.. So what if i do it with google like searching for a site and opening it from that shared google link?? that would work as well i guess... whats your two cents on that HELLFIRE?? Regards,
I repeat my earlier statement bharath063 . You're essentially asking m.facebook.com to take yourincoming connection, then reforward it to another location AS m.facebook.com. Unless m.facebook.com isconfigured to do that (and dollars to donuts it isn't), you won't get your "free internet access" you're after.All m.facebook.com likely is is a black box somewhere listening on port 80 and feeding whatever data user(s)request of it and that's it. If "free internet" is what you're after, find another option, like using your or someoneelse's home wifi, which is ALOT less hassle and time wasted than figuring out how to "hack" m.facebook.comRegards

It's Hard To Stay Quiet When It Comes to the Seattle Public Library
Big pretty buildings don't always continue to generate press after their much-ballyhooed openings but the Rem-ified Seattle Public Library still has nice things said about it almost two years later. We enjoyed Natalia Ilyin's treatise about how even though she's wary of modernism, she actually has grown quite fond of the place. And we were simply delighted with Design Within Reach's Rob Forbes recent piece about–if you believe it–actually using the library. We especially love how he realizes renting a car to get there doesn't seem to fit–so he takes public transportation to visit the public library.
Since Seattle is somewhere some of us are headed later today, we're wondering if anyone can point us in the direction of the ideal architectural afternoon up in that drizzly corner of the planet. To us, it's a toss up between the library and the new Olympic Sculpture Park and we only really have time for one (we've already been to the Space Needle, mind you). If you feel strongly one way or another about what we should check out and report back to you, let us know. We live to please.

At the end of last season, ASU head coach Todd Graham stated that special teams will be a priority for this upcoming season. In his words: "special teams killed us".
The word 'kill' might be a little harsh, but in coachspeak, it makes perfect sense. The special teams were the worst performing units on this PAC-12 South championship team.
Last season, the punt team almost cost ASU two games with bad snaps that were recovered for a touchdown (Wisconsin) or deep in their own territory that led to a touchdown (UCLA). They also had 3 punts blocked. Two came in the first half of the Stanford game that helped dig a 29-0 hole.
Devils in Detail could make a list of shortcomings in the special teams units for every game played. Even the games they won. Recall the Washington game where the offense destroyed the Huskies, the defense dominated–yet, the special teams kept things interesting for a while with poor coverage on punts and kickoffs.
To his credit, coach Graham has recognized this and done something about it. Gone is assistant coach Joe Lorig, who was the special teams coordinator. In came Keith Patterson to help. But it appears that the special teams will be divided up by the coaches and not under the direction of one specific coach, except for Graham himself.
There's a lot to special teams. There's the schematic part, the details of the assignments and strategies. Then there's the personnel considerations. And finally there is the preparation/scouting piece of the puzzle. All these factors are equally important. And they need to be repped to the tune of 20% of the practice time.
This team has the talent at every position to be competent, if not special, in all phases of the kicking game. Coach Graham needs to find new personnel, new schemes, new ways of teaching and new ways of preparing for opponents in this part of the game.
It appears he is doing so. It's a work in progress, like everything else. But with a new defense this year and some lost weapons on offense, special teams might be more crucial to the success of this team than they were last year. So, it's quite important to nail it down.

they have good stuff like this.Shaw Gateway Experience»www.shaw.ca/Gateway/in the usa you can get the same boxes at insane rent prices.
A lot being discussed here is shooting over the top of my head. May I pop in and ask? I am a comcast customer, can I build a PC and get a cable card and tuner and get content just like the cable HD box? From what I gather from all your comments is that I cannot?

With the exception of VOD the answer is, you can.Ceton makes a PC tuner card that uses a cable card. Silicon Dust makes a network based cable card tuner (I have one, works great.) Hauppauge makes a usb based cable card tuner (that is based on the silcondust technology). Combined with a win7 pc's media center you can make a very capable DVR that provides an excellent user experience. It will even stream to an xbox as media center extender.--Registered Bandwidth Offender #40812

But if the US had the canadian "buy a box" system we would just have $15 outlet mirror fees. You can't win.
The lawsuit, filed in a U.S. District Court in Tucson, alleges that Cox is violating the Sherman Antitrust Act by tying set-top rentals to pay TV subscriptions. In addition to asking the court to require Cox to give subscribers the option to buy set-tops instead of renting the boxes, it wants Cox to disgorge profits generated from renting set-tops.
Cox Communications Inc. is under fire for charging set-top box rental fees to customers wanting TV services beyond the basic tier. Stanley Feldman, a former state Supreme Court judge, is asking a district court in Tucson to ban Cox from forcing customers to pay the monthly US$6.99 fee. He wants an option to buy the equipment from third parties. The case started as a national class-action lawsuit against Cox, but a federal judge in Oklahoma rejected it, ruling that customers can file individual complaints in their home states, reports the Arizona Daily Star. Cable has pursued the retail angle with tru2way, but the common middleware/headend platform failed to spur a retail market for cable set-tops. (See Tru2way: Epic Fail at Retail: »www.lightreading.com/document.as···d=202538 )
what does this mean for comcast, time warner, suddenlik,etc? Do they have to sell set tops as well?
These lawsuits have been brought before and have gone nowhere to the best of my knowledge. I'm not sure why that is. Here's another one against Comcast (there's more if you Google it):»arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2008···lecards/Here's one for TWC:»www.cedmagazine.com/news/2008/08···x-rental
Old news for those that run 7MC today and knew about the deal, but more importantly 8MC has some serious issues right now (like breaking compatability with existing extenders and removing network bridging for Ceton tuners) and no new features to justify using it. MS has abandoned development on the product.It's good that it's free, because in its current state it should be.The other sad part to this story is that the Ceton Echo has just been released and is riddled with bugs and DOA boxes. They'll likely get this fixed over time, but for a small company it's a big blow IMO.

get ready to pay more and want tivo well you can rent a comcast tivo box at a higher price. and yes you tivo that you have now will not work and no your lifetime tivo = 0 as there are no tivo fees with a comcast tivo.
This might sound strange but why is there nothing like DOCSIS for TV?If I buy a DOCSIS 3 modem, I activate it with Comcast and their system looks at my billing, and then sends my modem the right bootfile.Couldnt cable boxes have a generic standard like DOCSIS is for data services and as such you just have a boot file indicating which channels you get.--[65 Arcanist]Filan(High Elf) Zone: Broadband Reports
they want to you to rent there cable box. At a time they tried to make you pay per IP and tried to ban routers as well.
There are standards for cable video services like DOCSIS is for cable internet service. That is what Cablecard and tru2way are. They're even certified by the same CableLabs organizaation. The vast majority of the electronics makers abandoned it, while the FCC forced cable companies to continue to use and support it.At the time CableCard was created (10+ years ago) software based security wasn't as available or secure so hardware based keys were used (the actual cards). tru2way was the software standard for the CableCard enabled boxes to allow 2-way functionality, but again only cable companies embraced it. Future plans at the time CableCard and tru2way were created were moving toward downloadable security (DCAS) but that really hasn't seen the light of day since most of the electronics makers have abandoned CableCard and true2way.TVeverywhere is a cable industry project to move to software based security and ad tracking for streaming video content straight to authorized video clients. Many video providers, channel broadcasters, and equipment makers have put their support into making it a success.
