|Walter Payton Award
The Walter Payton Award is awarded annually to the most outstanding offensive player in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) of college football as chosen by a nationwide panel of media and college sports information directors.[1] The honor was first given in 1987 to the outstanding player in the division, but in 1995, eligibility was restricted to offensive players, as the Buck Buchanan Award for defensive players was inaugurated.
The bust was named in honor of the late National Football League (NFL) legend Walter Payton, who starred at Jackson State University.[2]
Among the many schools in the division, only eight schools have won it twice: Appalachian State, Colgate, Eastern Washington, Georgia Southern, Idaho, New Hampshire, and Eastern Illinois. Villanova is the only school to have won it three times. In 2009, Armanti Edwards from Appalachian State became the first player to receive the award twice.[3]

Insurance probe zeroing in
Police seize evidence from agent's home
HARWINTON — State troopers both in uniform and plainclothes covered by body armor executed a search and seizure warrant Friday at the 179 Wildcat Hill Road home of Patricia Savanella.
They were seen hauling away numerous legal-size boxes and computers as part of what state police termed an "ongoing larceny investigation" involving Trinity Insurance Group.

Confessions Of A Nurse Who Compulsively Eats - page 4
Ive previously mentioned that an individual cannot begin to address a problem without first admitting that he or she has one. Well, my name is TheCommuter and I am a long-time compulsive eater. There it is! Compulsive eating... Read More
- 2Jan 22, '13 by poppycat, BSN, RNThank you so much for posting this article! I just went through 6 weeks of intensive outpatient treatment for food & shopping addictions. I am also a recovering alcoholic with 24 years sobriety. I have been a binge eater for almost 20 years but it wasn't until I got on the scale a few months ago & discovered I'd gained 60+ lbs. in 1year that I admitted it's a problem. Fortunately, there is an addiction recovery place close to my home that deals with "process addictions" (food, spending,gambling, sex) as well as chemical addictions. I can't even believe the insight I gained & how much I learned about myself in the past 6 weeks. I will now be starting individual therapy with a counselor who specializes in process addictions as well as attending OA & Debtors Anonymous meetings. For whatever reason, it was much harder for me to admit these addictions than it was for me to admit being an alcoholic but I will always be grateful that I was able to find the appropriate help when I needed it.

Four year old fire victim released from hospital
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - The four-year-old girl whose limp, lifeless body Utica firefighters pulled from her burning east Utica apartment a week and a half ago has been released from the hospital. Halima Haji suffered severe smoke inhalation and burns to her hands and knees. She spent a week at Upstate Medical University in Syracuse and is now home with her family. The family's apartment at Adrean Terrace was destroyed. However, Utica's Municipal Housing Authority placed the family in another apartment, and say the apartment is full, thanks to donations from the community ranging from kitchen appliances to bed sheets. On Tuesday, the family is getting a U-Haul to retrieve some large donations, like furniture sets, from donors in Rome.

Give your baby sweet dreams in safe and cozy baby pajamas
As a new parent, one of your most exciting milestones is getting your baby to sleep through the night. A comfy pair of baby pajamas is essential to your infant's restful sleep, so be sure to stock up on nightgowns and footed pajamas well before your newborn's arrival. Kmart's collection of sleepwear keeps the whole family covered with fabrics that offer breathable comfort all night long. Whether you're singing lullabies to infants or reading bedtime stories to tots, you'll help your kiddo head to sleep in baby or toddler pajamas.
After feeding, burping and bedtime songs, it's time for your infant to drop off to dreamland. Make his or her journey pleasant and cozy with the right pair of baby pajamas. A newborn bodysuit can be easily put on with a rounded neckline, snap closures, and ample room to fit over a diaper. When diaper changes are frequent, an infant gown makes access quick and easy, along with practical details like mitten cuffs to keep baby from scratching while he or she sleeps.
Toddlers are notorious for not wanting to go to sleep, but a favorite pair of character pajamas can be a parent's asset during the bedtime process. Little boys can imagine themselves fighting crime in their dreams when dressed in a pair of superhero pajamas. A toddler nightgown will make her feel like a princess as she twirls her way to bed in a nighttime dress decorated with Dora the Explorer, The Little Mermaid or another beloved movie or television character.
Of course, babies aren't the only ones who love the comfort and coziness of a pair of pajamas. Dress the whole family in fun bedtime prints from brands like Joe Boxer. Joe's kid's, men's and women's sleepwear features colorful, casual designs that make lounging around the house a special time for everyone. Matching pajamas for kids and adults make a great gift, especially around the holidays, when cozy Saturday mornings are meant for creating family memories.
No matter what the season, Kmart has a pair of jammies that will be your little guy's or gal's favorite. Outfit them with cool, breathable fabrics to keep them from sweating on humid summer nights and plush, heat-trapping onesies and pajamas to prevent a chill in the middle of winter.

Top 10 Misconceptions About Cops911 Vests
#1 Guest_MOATI_*
Posted 12 May 2005 - 09:16 PM
Here is my review of Cops911 vests. Of course I had to add a little twist...soooo...ala David Letterman...here's my very own Top 10 List!!!
#10) They only have tactical black!
Not true! Cops911 does have the mean looking Tactical Black that many of us fell in love with, but they also have Olive, Woodland Camo, Jungle Stalker, Super Flauge, Multi-cam, and just about any other camo pattern or color you can think of. You can get any vest in whatever you want!
#9) They don't have what I want.
Impossible!!! They will make a vest to your very own specifications. If you can dream it up, Cops911 will make it. Of course, those of you that have limited imaginations, you can always choose from any of the existing designs. Why force a military vest into paintball when you can have a tactical grade vest specially made for paintball and your own specific needs?
#8) I'm too big/too little so it won't fit.
They'll make it so it does fit. Because they're made specifically for you, they will fit no matter how big or how small you are. Of course they're all adjustable so if you gain or lose weight, the vest will adjust to still fit you.
#7) Brand "X" is better.
Again, this simply is not true. It's impossible actually. Nothing can beat the quality and craftsmanship of a Cops911 vest and what could possibly be better than exactly what you want?
#6) A custom vest takes too long.
Not as long as you might think. Most orders are complete within a few days of placing the order. Of course some orders will take longer but try getting anything else custom made in anything less than a month!
#5) Other vests have a better warranty.
No they don't! You can't get any better than the Cops911 lifetime warranty! It covers the workmanship of the vest for the life of the vest!
#4) The velcro won't hold.
This ain't your momma's velcro! This is the patented Interlock Velcro System! It's velcro between velcro between velcro. It keeps your vest completely modular but it will hold no matter what you have experienced with velcro in the past! There is simply NO CHANCE of anything held on with the Interlock System to fall off. Of course for you non-believers out there, you can always opt to have all the pockets sewn on.
#3) I can't afford it!
#2) I can't afford it!
#1) I can't afford it!
You can't afford not to! In the end, no matter what you might try first, you will want a Cops911 vest...everybody does. How much better off would you be to get the vest first? Besides, with the new Scout vest, you can get all the advantages of a Cops911 vest but at a cost that is very comparable to anything else on the market!
The Cops911 vest is simply the best product a scenario paintball player could possibly own.

Archie21's sale thread!! Everything must go!!
Posted 19 May 2005 - 02:41 PM
I didn't buy a real vest, but a 4+1 pack in jungle stalker and I love it. Sure I upgraded to a different vest, but I still break it out for games where I don't need alot of paint/pockets/radios. I've owned/used different packs, but the one from Cops is really my favorite. It's better than some of the tourny ones I've used.

While we're polishing up our full review of the Casio Exilim EX-Z1000, we wanted to give you a little preview of things to come. Announced at the end of April, the Z1000 features a 10 megapixel imaging sensor. Yes, you read that right. The full resolution images are 3648 x 2736 pixels.
(view large image)
Besides the 10 megapixel sensor, the camera also features a 2.8 inch "Wide & Bright" LCD and 3x optical zoom. A resolution of 960x240 (230,400 pixels) provides a widescreen format. The LCD is also good in the sunshine, which is a good thing since there's no room for an optical viewfinder. The nice thing about the extra width is that Casio lets you set up the display so the indicators that display things like flash status, exposure compensation, etc. can be displayed down the right side of the screen (instead of being overlaid your image in the LCD).
(view large image)
Casio's Best Shot system lets you choose the scene mode that will suit your situation. A total of 36 modes plus Auto and Movie mode give you plenty of choices.
Using the camera is pretty simple. Operating the zoom and shutter is easy with a prominent shutter release and zoom ring around the shutter button. The 5 way directional pad is a little small for my fingers, but operates well, with nice clicking resistance. While the display is in "Panel" mode, the camera settings are displayed along the right side of the LCD. Casio has made it easy to change the settings while in this mode by using the directional pad. You can adjust the resolution, flash mode, auto focus mode, timer mode, anti-shake status, ISO, white balance, and exposure compensation without entering the menu system.
Stay tuned for our full review within a week or so. Please use the "Discuss" link to post any questions that you'd like to see us answer, if possible, in our full review.

A smart book to have for your Pets sake

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Best Uses
Comments about Random House Veterinarians' Guide to Natural Remedies for Cats:
I think in this day and age, it's always important to be aware of what's happening in your pets lives. Educating yourself to put you in a better situation, especially when it's time for your pet to go to the Vets. An ounce of prevention is a pound of cure, so I have heard so it is important to me to be able to read a book on what to look for and what to expect.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

great book
By Mumma
from Anytown, USA
This is a great and informative book for any pet owner that wants to do better than just organic commercial food for their pet. I had a cat die from the poisoned wheat in the commercial food products, switched to organic, and am now trying to make their lives even better with healthy nutrition and informed veternarians. I'm so glad I made this purchase, and it's easy to read (not too technical)

On this week's episode of Desperate Housewives, Bree tries to hire a hot-shot lawyer after she gets arrested for Alejandro/Ramon's murder. Susan and Lee finds a mysterious box of Mike's in the closet. Lynette moves on to the next phase of getting Tom back. Gaby tries some interesting tactics to get new personal shopping clients.
BREEThe opening of the episode is classic Desperate Housewives. Bree is hosting Renee's all-too-traditional bridal shower where the only gift that vibrates is an immersion blender. When the doorbell rings, Gaby thinks it's the male strippers she ordered. But no! They are real cops, who won't take Gaby's bribe and arrest Bree for the murder of Ramon Sanchez (aka Alejandro). As Bree is cuffed and escorted out of her house, she tells the ladies to "be a dear" and take her quiches out of the oven when they're ready. Love it. Seeing Bree in a police station getting her mug shot taken is pretty jarring, but in a much better and more humorous way than Bree's promiscuous phase.
Bob gets Bree out of jail quickly, but knows she needs a criminal lawyer, especially since her fingerprint was found on the button of Ramon's shirt. The other girls are very grateful that Bree is willing to take the bullet for the team (she's the only one without a job or a family to worry about) and offer to pay for her legal fees. So she goes to the best layer in town — Trip Weston, a manipulative, intelligent, fast-talking attorney who seems to be able to talk his clients out of any accusation. He's very reminiscent of Billy Flynn in Chicago, minus the song-and-dance. However, Trip won't take on Bree's case because it's too boring.
Unfortunately for Bree, one of the detectives on the case was Chuck's old partner. He not only refuses to let Ramon's murder slide, but he also has an inkling that Bree had something to do with Chuck's murder. So when the detectives recover Ramon's things from a local hotel, he writes the number of Bree's house on Ramon's map. Bree is brought back in for questioning and even she is completely confused how or why Ramon would have known her house number. Trip happens to see her looking unnerved by the water cooler and overhears the detective trying to get her to talk him without her lawyer. Trip interrupts, tells the detective he is Bree's lawyer and escorts her out of the office. On the way out, he tells her she didn't kill this guy, "but you sure as hell know who did." Scott Bakula is really perfect in this role, and whether or not this working relationship leads to something more, it will be great to see what Trip can do in the courtroom to save Bree as everything goes down to the wire. Dear Scott Bakula, where have you been all of Season 8?!
LYNETTEAfter kissing Tom and then accidentally setting him on fire, Lynette is moving onto Phase 2 of winning Tom back, which means baking him his favorite cake for his birthday. It seems Lynette isn't the only desperate housewife — or should we say house-girlfriend? — as Jane decides to take matters into her own hands when Tom "can't find time" to bring the divorce papers to Lynette. Jane goes way over the line when she drops the documents off at Lynette's house along with the kids' left-behind school books while Lynette is baking Tom his birthday cake. Lynette retaliates by getting green food dye on Jane's beautiful white suit, but Jane should consider herself lucky after pulling a stunt like that.
Lynette, like any sane woman on Earth, finds Tom at the restaurant where he's supposed to meet Jane and demands to know why she got the papers from Jane and not him. She also wants to know how long ago he had signed them. She tries to ask him if he's really done with their marriage, but when he doesn't answer, she signs the papers and leaves to cry in the parking lot. It's not over, though. Tom gives Jane a serious talking-to when they get home. She tries to tell him it's time to move on and start putting her needs before Lynette's. Tom coldly tells her that he'll always think about Lynette, since she's the mother of his children. Obviously, this is supposed to feel final but it really doesn't. Either way, we don't see Jane and Tom being roommates for much longer.
GABYGaby's new job gets off to bumpy start because all of the female clients already have a regular female shopper. She needs cash fast, so Gaby tries venturing out to the men's department and — with advice from her boss — ditches her wedding ring to get the male clients to lay down more dough. Carlos notices her much sexier attire and that she's not wearing her wedding ring to work, and initially has a problem with it until Gaby explains that it's all for him. She even goes out of her way to take Carlos out for a nice meal, but their date is interrupted by a flirty and super-cute male customer. He stops by their table and Gaby lies and says that Carlos is her brother. Carlos storms out, but Gaby exclaims, again, that she's doing this all because of Carlos' desire to work at a nonprofit. But Carlos' old-school ways make it hard for him to accept that Gaby is now the big shot and the family provider. Wow, Carlos. You turned one of the most self-centered, materialistic women on the planet into a loving and doting wife and mother, and this is how you say thanks? How far we have come, my friend.
SUSANLee — yes, Lee is back! — agrees to help Susan clean out her closet and get rid of Mike's belongings. She keeps a pair of his shoes (so that MJ can know he filled them one day, awww) and Lee finds a locked box way in the back of the closet. He opens the box and agrees not to tell Susan what's inside so that her memory of Mike won't be ruined. But since this is Susan we're talking about, she goes running to Lee and Bob's at 2 a.m. to find out the incriminating contents. It turns out the eight years ago, when he and Susan were divorced, he set up a separate checking account and has been sending money every month to a Jenny Hernandez.
Susan, obviously, assumes the worst and thinks Mike has a child, but when she goes to Jenny's address, she learns that Jenny's place is a home for adults suffering from autism and that the money was for Mike's sister, Laura. Susan is relieved, but more saddened that Mike kept a sister from her all these years. Julie does more digging in the box and figures out that Mike had only learned about Laura eight years earlier. He kept his sister a secret because his mom had given her up for adoption, knowing she was going to be born with a disability. The letters make Julie realize she doesn't want to look back on giving her daughter up for adoption and regret it her for the rest of her life. So she tells Susan she's going to keep the baby, despite the fact that the new arrival might be an "inconvenience." Finally, Susan has something to be happy about.
So what did you think of this week's episode? Do you think Tom still has real feelings for Lynette or is he just ticked that Jane crossed the line? Is Gaby and Carlos' marriage now in trouble too? Are you happy Julie is keeping the baby? And, most importantly, what did you think of Scott Bakula's introduction? Do you think Trip and Bree will have a strictly working relationship or maybe something on the side? Sound off below!

Self Help in Snow Scotland
Snow brings out the inner Tory in all of us | Melanie Reid - Times Online
The wintery weather, let's face it, is a political issue. Snow, I'm now convinced, brings out the inner Tory in all of us. In extreme situations, when forced to decide where shifting responsibilities lie, most of us revert to a doctrine that could be best be described as pragmatic, old-shires, compassionate Conservatism, as embodied in such unfashionable words as "self-help" and "resilience" and "resourcefulness". You'll recognise the ethos embedded in the backbone of the Armed Forces.
Scratch the surface of all but the shiniest new Labour types in weather like this, and it lurks there, that unfashionable, shameful instinct, that clarion call to civic duty. That undeniable urge — whisper it — to show initiative in the absence of a risk assessment and written permission from the State. And yes, such a response may seem desperately unsophisticated, primitive even, in these days when the State rolls like a vast juggernaut, but the thing about 18 inches of snow and a forecast of minus 20C is that (a) it's not only pretty primitive, but (b) it also stops juggernauts dead in their tracks....
Snow reminds us is that, when necessary, we can still respond as individuals. The lesson is one of self-determination; discovering we are capable of action without having to wait for someone else to make decisions for us. In that sense, the snow brings possibilities of liberation.
So grab the shovel, get out there on the pavement and start digging. Because the freeze can do something very important for Britain. We have become a nation of two kinds of people — those that can do things, and those who can't, but then spend their lives making rules for everyone else. There is no therapy like digging, nor the grateful smile from someone less steady on their feet than you are, to make you realise that, yes, in fact, you too are capable of doing things. You're not a passive victim. Snow: you might say, the best political aide David Cameron ever had.
A staggering combination of arrogance, complacency and sheer indifference - Times Online
Magnus Linklater
For the last two weeks Scotland has been ravaged by the worst winter weather seen in 30 years. One might imagine, therefore, that local councils, whose role is to serve the public, would take immediate action to ensure that we are kept well-informed about the state of our roads and pavements — to say nothing of stocks of grit and the advice they offer to local residents, particularly the old and the infirm.
On the contrary, nothing, not even a climatic upset, is allowed to interfere with the inalienable right of councillors and officials to take their statutory break, which runs from Christmas Eve until January 5.
...What emerges from the performance of council bureaucrats is a staggering combination of arrogance, complacency and sheer indifference to the very people they are there to represent — the long-suffering public.
When, over the next year, they face the job cuts and the lay-offs that will be the inevitable consequence of the recession they should not be surprised if the Scottish people who, after all, pay for the councillors and their officials with inflated council taxes, respond with the same shrug of the shoulders that they themselves have demonstrated this past fortnight.

Funnily enough, a UPS "door not answered" slip came through the door today, I'm guessing it was the CMD and I didn't think it'd be arriving that soon so wasn't listening for the doorbell. Ah well, they'll try to deliver again tomorrow!
Amateur sound engineer, casual DJ.
I would love to own the CMD controller so that it can compliment my new B912 NEO series speakers.. I am currently upgrading my entire system and would to promote the new CMD controller.. gI have been a Behringer fan since my B215A's and 1202 mixer board. The quality of those units have surpassed many other brands I have used for my DJing business. My website is www.djanthonyortiz.com you can see photo's of my set up on my wedding info page. The following password must be used; weddinginfo to view the page..
Well, mine shipped and I have received it but it doesn't have any cables and there is no CD. Just the controller. I don't have any software of my own. Was it supposed to ship separately?
Amateur sound engineer, casual DJ.
If you're looking for free DJ software, I suggest you look into MIXXX. http://www.mixxx.org/
Or if you want to wait until CMD is officially released, I can get you a copy of Deckadance 2 LE.
Craig Reeves,
Product Manager, DJ
MUSIC-Group US.
Yes please! I have mixxx but nothing seems to support the midi on the PL-1 (except for the buttons). They seem to be different from other knobs, so I think until other software provides support for them I'll need to use the Deckadance 2 LE. Please send as soon as possible
Many thanks for the Ableton controller Now, the hard question will come... There are any Ableton Live Scripts for this controller ? Or should I start learning python ?

" Perhaps the writer of this article instead of using "average" wages should actually compare wages to other parts of Canada. " Agreed! Newfoundlander's are paid a minimal amount of what other Canadians are paid for the same trade, same job. The cost of housing in St. John's right now is comparable to cities like Toronto or Owatta, and the average job stills pays only 10.50/hour. It's litterally enough money to starve. A lot of the students I went to school with no longer live here because they are paid more in other provinces, and pay less for rent!

what a crock....lololol...take the government employees wages out of the picture in nl (about 65% of the so called "workforce") and youll get a province that has wages that attract the workers that cant find employment anywhere else...been there ..been a part of it...experienced it firsthand for a few short years...until i did my own job research and found out what the rest of canada REALLY pay...presently make over 3 times what i made in nl ...working less hours and in FARRRRRRRRR better conditions and worker morale atmosphere...getting $13.25/hr. in nl for THE biggest employer in atlantic canada hardly equates to making a "comparable wage" of $42.00/hr. in Alberta...what a joke this article is indeed!!!!!!

Perhaps the writer of this article instead of using "average" wages should actually compare wages to other parts of Canada. While the "average" wage may be 98.5 percent of the National Level, a vast majority of trades out there that we have a major shortage in are far from "par" with Canada, in fact there are "trades" in Alberta that are 3 times the wage paid here in NL.

Let's see.....why should Newfoundland's average wage be in any way comparable, or ever compared to, Alberta's? They have a highly productive workforce that "gets" working in a largely non-unionized, competitive, pay-for-performance environment. Why on Earth would anyone think that union entitled, 'I'm a sucker to do any more than the minimum to keep my job' Newfoundland workers might come anywhere NEAR Alberta levels of pay?!? It is assinine.

Hi, I wrote the story. The average hourly wage in Alberta as of last month was $25.79, far from double Newfoundland and Labrador's rate — that figure should have been included in the story. And yes, rising wages are a problem for employers. But don't forget that employers include all taxpayers, who pay the salaries of public servants, whose wages are also going up. Rising wages will also get reflected in higher service costs everywhere, as garages, for example, raise wages to retain their mechanics and pass on the increase to the customer in higher labour charges.
- John Carrick Greene

I'd like to comment but first I want to know if Mr. Locke was quoted correctly. The Telegram said that Locke said that wages were going up, and that they would get "worse", meaning that they would continue to go up. And that's worse? I would have thought that instead of "worse it would be ""better"? If in fact he was quoted correctly, I'd like to ask before saying anything else: what does "worse"mean in his remarks? For whom is it "worse"?

I call B.S. on this one, as Alberta wages are more than double Newfoundland's wages now. It is only because we have such a small population that it only takes a small number of high paying jobs to skew the numbers. If the wages are comp0arable to Canada how come our population remains stagnant? There is still a huge unemployment rate and the taxes you get sucked out of your cheque here are criminal. Alot has to change before they start attracting people from Alberta, just ask Vale how easy it is.

Brad, minimum wage has moved over the last 8 years from $6/hr to $10/hr. Unemployment has dropped significantly as well (in Avalon - which also houses 50% of the provinces population). The population remains stagnant because NL is a small place, and doesn't make sense for people from away to come here to live. It is still hard to make a living opening a restaurant/clothing store etc... There is a very limited market (small population). Most of the wealth is coming from big projects (oil) or mining, etc. Everything else is a spin off. Ending the EI stuff for seasonal workers would be a big help. Also cracking down on cash businesses would be a boon too because there seems to be a large grey market for labour.

Its nice to see that the average wage is near the national average but you have to look at those left behind, the partime worker, those on Old Age pension, those on govt pension who haven't seen an increase on their pensions in 20years some of whom are receiving less take home than they did before reaching the age of 65 because of the CLAW Back.. With the higher wage everything has increased, property tax has doubled in the past 15- 20 years Heating oil has more than doubled, Food a necessity of life has increased. The high paying jobs are union jobs whose members have foregotten everyone but themselves. The union leaders in their quest for more money have thrown their former members to the wolves. Some of those whose members had worked for the Prov. Govt are against an increase in pensions and some don't even had a rep. on the pensioners coalition. Their attitude is me first fill my pockets, forget those who paid union dues a lifetime. forget them because they are not paying union dues now and are not filling my pockets. When those on or below the poverty line go to get groceries they pay the same price for a tin of milk as those earning $20 to $50 per hr.

OK - let's get the show on the road. Our first test
- maybe not professional one but nice enough to give you an idea
of different flavors of analog compression and preamping. Music
was made using Akai MPC 4000 recorded on Cubase VST
using MOTU 828 mk II interface, guitar was recorded through
Hi Z input of our prototype Double Triode preamp and then
by plugin amp simulation. Note that all MPC tracks was rerecorded
through Double Triode preamp except fifth and sixth bar (eight
bars total). Session was really spontaneous and took about half
an hour. Mix was than played and recorded using analog mix insert
through different analog devices with the settings we felt sounded
best for that particular mix.
So listen and judge for yourself.

Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Fadeyev
Fadeyev, Aleksandr Aleksandrovich (əlyĭksänˈdər əlyĭksänˈdrəvĭch fŭdyāˈəf) [key], 1901–56, Russian author. An active Communist, he fought in the Revolution of 1917. His first novel, Razgrom (1926, new tr., The Rout, 1957), concerns a group of partisans fighting in Siberia. Fadeyev continued this theme in the lengthy Last of the Udegs (1929–40), an unfinished epic. His novel The Young Guard (1945) describes the underground activities of a group of young Communists during World War II. Criticized, Fadeyev revised it in 1951 to give more prominence to the Communist party. In 1954 he lost his position as secretary of the Union of Soviet Writers. Diminished in status and emotionally and physically impaired by alcoholism, he committed suicide.

(KPNX) - A Mesa, Arizona man is in critical condition after his wife ran over him with her Jeep because she was upset he didn't vote in the presidential election and feared her family would suffer with President Obama's re-election, Gilbert police said Monday.
Holly Solomon, 28, was arrested about 10 a.m. Saturday after she chased and ran over her husband Daniel Solomon, 36, in a parking lot in Gilbert, Arizona.
Gilbert police spokesman Sgt. Jesse Sanger said Holly Solomon started arguing with her husband because she "believed her family was going to face hardship" as a result of Obama's re-election.

Competition Corner - November 2014
Competition Corner (November 2014) - Update
We have a couple of corrections and a couple of editions to the jam-packed November edition of Competition Corner.
November was a great month for VCC members in competitive events as bonspiel season hit full stride and results keep pouring in. We have a lot to report from mixed, women's, and men's events so we will jump right to it.
Team Forrest had a successful month winning the Marpole Mixed Bonspiel, the B Event at the Peace Arch Mixed Bonspiel and the C Event at the Tunnel Town Mixed Bonspiel with a come from behind three in the eighth. Team Forrest consists of Andrew Forrest, Allison DenToom, Dave Marchant and Becky Campbell. Krista Frazee was subbed in for Becky Campbell at the Peace Arch 'spiel.
Andrew Forrest also skips a men's team that played in the Coronation Classic in Maple Ridge. While they had a big extra end win against Sean Geall the team failed to qualify for the playoffs.
VCC colours were in full force at the Tunnel Town Mixed Bonspiel as Team Robinson (Mark and Siobhan Robinson, Heather Lawrence, Craig Coyne) had a great run making it all the way to the A final where they had a pick in the second end which led to a steal of four for their opponents and left them chasing the rest of the game. The team was very proud to take a "solid silver".
Continuing with their busy bonspiel schedule Team Gibson (Marilou Richter, Amy Gibson, Rebecca Turley, Michelle Dunn) came oh so close to qualifying for the BC Scotties, rattling off three straight wins before falling short by one in the last end of the C final at the Provincial Playdowns in Kelowna. The team also had a successful runs at the Vancouver Island Shoot Out making it all the way to the semifinals in a competitive field and a sixth place finish at the Coronation Classic in Maple Ridge.
Team Ocean Village (Diane Gushulak, Grace MacInnes, Lorelle Weiss, Sandra Comadina) kicked off their bonspiel schedule at the Vancouver Island Shoot Out, the first of five world curling tour events the team is playing in this season, where they took home second place.
VCC men had a strong showing at the North Delta Men's Bonspiel with Team Schneider taking home the A Event and Team Brower taking the B Event with a win over Team Forrest.
A number of VCC men's teams competed at the Golden Ears Curling Club at the start of the month, all of them picking up valuable points on the Region 11 Men's Tour. Team Brower (Jan Bos and Richard Brower) took home the C Event. Team Schneider and Team Forrest had great runs losing in the A final and B semifinal, respectively.
Congratulations to all of the above members and those who competed but who have yet to let the Club know when they are playing. Be sure to follow the VCC on Facebook ( facebook.com/vancurl) and twitter (@vancurling) to cheer our members on. If you are curling in an event, please contact email@example.com.

Go! Mokulele Air launching Oahu-Lanai flights with $39 introductory one-way fareby: Derek Paiva
posted: Tue Apr 06, 2010 at 12:26 PM
Hawaii interisland carrier go! Mokulele Airlines will launch twice daily round-trip flights between the islands of Oahu and Lanai beginning on May 20.
The big news for travelers interested in a Lanai vacation, however, are the go! Mokulele's introductory fares for the flights. A very reasonable $39 one-way fare, for travel between May 20 and Aug. 31, 2010.
The catch? You'll have to purchase your tickets between now and April 16 to get the discounted fare. The $39 fare also has several blackout dates, and will not be offered for Friday and Sunday flights.
Honolulu to Lanai City flights will leave Oahu at 9:50 a.m. and 1:40 p.m. daily. Lanai City to Honolulu flights will leave Lanai at 10:50 a.m. and 2:40 p.m. daily. Flight time between islands is 36 minutes. Mokulele will be flying nine-passenger Cessna Grand Caravan 208 B aircraft on the route.
For more information, or to book flights, visit www.mokuleleairlines.com.
If you've never visited Lanai, and are planning to be on Oahu between May 20 and Aug. 31, go! Mokulele's introductory Lanai deal offers a great opportunity to pencil in a two- or three-day vacation on the island.
One-way flights to the island are usually double the cost of go! Mokulele's introductory fare, depending on what carrier you fly and when you fly. Go! Mokulele Air's lowest one-way fare from Oahu to Lanai outside of the introductory fare is $70. Interisland carrier Island Air also offers service from Oahu to Lanai.
Regular HAWAII Magazine and HawaiiMagazine.com readers know that rural, little-visited, yet ever-welcoming Lanai has always been one of our favorite islands for a quiet relaxing getaway.

Bishop's Robinson places second in AP coach of year voting
RALEIGH — Two men who led their teams to undefeated seasons and Class 4A championships are The Associated Press prep basketball coaches of the year in North Carolina.
Ty Baumgardner of Charlotte Olympic won the 2012-13 boys award Thursday and Chris East of Raleigh Millbrook earned the girls award.
Baumgardner received 15 of a possible 22 votes from sports writers across the state. Newton Foard's Rob Bliss was second with four votes after turning around a program that was 5-41 before his arrival two seasons ago, while first-year coach Perry Tyndall of 2A champ Kinston was the only other coach listed on multiple ballots.
On the girls side, East had 10 votes to five for Kinston's Hubert Quinerly, a second-year coach whose team won a 2A title in its first finals appearance.
Two former AP girls coach winners, Bishop McGuinness' Brian Robinson and Charlotte Harding's Anthony Jones, also received multiple votes. Robinson, the 2010 winner, had three votes after winning a record eighth-straight 1A title. Jones, last year's winner, had two votes after leading his team to a second straight 3A crown.
Baumgardner led Olympic to a 30-0 record, the first team from Mecklenburg County to go undefeated since West Charlotte did it in 1986.
East led Millbrook to a 33-0 finish and its second straight 4A title by beating Greensboro Page 62-56 last month for the title.
The AP will name its players of the year today.
CHICAGO — Aaron Gordon, who is committed to play at Arizona, scored 24 points and eight rebounds to lead the West to a 110-99 victory over the East in the McDonald's All-American game on Wednesday night.
In a game that featured an array of dunks, Gordon pleased the United Center crowd of 15,818 with a number of fast-break slams on his way to the MVP award.
Andrew Wiggins, considered the top recruit in the country, scored 19 points for the East and Dakari Johnson finished with 12.
The game featured six Kentucky commits: twin brothers Andrew Harrison and Aaron Harrison, Johnson, Marcus Lee, James Young and Julius Randle, who verbally committed a few weeks ago.
Wiggins, who is undecided, is considering Kentucky, along with Kansas, North Carolina and Florida State. A commitment from the Canadian prep star would give Kentucky coach John Calipari one of the best recruiting classes of all time.
Arkansas recruit Bobby Portis Jr. had 12 points for the West.
The game also featured hometown star Jabari Parker, a Duke recruit.
Parker won four straight Illinois state championships with Simeon and was ranked as the top player in the class before Wiggins reclassified as a senior at the beginning of the school year.
Wiggins and Parker squared off most of the game and Parker finished with 10 points. Parker's dad, Sonny, played in the NBA, and so did Wiggins' dad, Mitchell.
CHICAGO — Mercedes Russell had 16 points and had 12 rebounds to lead the West to a 92-64 win over the East in the girls McDonald's All-American game at the United Center on Wednesday night.
The Tennessee signee was voted the game's MVP.
The West jumped out to a 20-10 lead behind Tyler Scaife's seven points. Rebecca Greenwell extended the lead to 31-13 on a 3-pointer. The Duke signee came up limping after being fouled on a layup attempt with 3:28 left in the half. She did not return and finished with eight points, going 2 for 3 from 3-point range.
"It's painful, but it's not excruciating, it's nothing new, it's something I have dealt with this whole season," Greenwell said. "I think I am going to have an MRI soon. Before I even hurt it I had arthroscopic surgery scheduled for Tuesday because I had this ongoing knee problem all season."
Scaife, the player of the year from Arkansas, finished with 15 points and four assists.
Diamond DeShields had 15 points and Makayla Epps added 13 for the East. DeShields has signed to play at North Carolina and Epps is going to Kentucky.
North Carolina had the most All-Americans with three. DeShields played with Stephanie Mavunga and against future Tar Heel Jessica Washington.
Wells Fargo, along with the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, announced the standings for winter sports in the Wells Fargo Cup competitions for the 2012-13 academic year on Thursday.
The Wells Fargo Cup is sponsored by Wells Fargo and the NCHSAA. The award recognizes the high schools that achieve the best overall interscholastic athletic performance within each of the state's four competitive classifications. The Cup program, formerly known as the Wachovia Cup, is in its 33rd year.
Defending champion Cary Green Hope sits atop the 4A standings with Raleigh Broughton in second place, while defending Cup champion Cardinal Gibbons paces the 3A group of schools. Carrboro holds the top position among 2A schools, with Lake Norman Charter and Hendersonville sitting one-two in the 1A classification standings.
In the 1A classification, the top three teams remained the same from the fall standings, led by Lake Norman Charter with 360 points. Hendersonville, winner of the most Cups overall with 13, is in second with 335 points. Perennial power Bishop McGuinness is in third with 300 points, winning its eighth straight girls basketball championship and taking third among 1A schools in boys swimming.
Wells Fargo Cup points are determined by a system based on performance in state championship events. All schools that finish in the top eight positions (plus ties) earn points. In the playoff events involving teams from more than one classification, Wells Fargo Cup points are awarded based on the school's standing against other schools in its own classification. If fewer then eight schools from a classification compete in a sport, only those schools that are represented are eligible to receive the Wells Fargo Cup points.
Points are awarded for all sports as follows: 50 for first, 45 for second, 40 for third, 35 for fourth, 30 for fifth, 25 for sixth, 20 for seventh and 15 for eighth. In the event of a tie, the schools receive an equal number of points based on the number of teams that tie and the number of teams that finish higher in the standings. Five points are awarded for each sanctioned sport in which a school competes.
Wells Fargo Cup standings are announced three times each school year: once after the fall, again after the winter sports, and then concluding with the winner after the spring sports season ends in June. The engraved silver cups are presented during NCHSAA Day activities at UNC-Chapel Hill each fall.

I also wrote an article on browser cookie basics and their uses on the web if you want more information.
I'm continuing to experiment with various affiliates who may set their own cookies. The affiliates and ad location may change based on their performance.

I mean...who the heck is going to be using the same PC for that many years? Best I've done is to use a Sony monitor for 10 years and a HP Lasrerjet for about the same.
Log Files
Like most websites, our server creates big ugly log files. This file includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information unless you tattooed it on your body.
As you probably guessed, parts of this policy were lifted from one of those "best practices" privacy policies. Pretty boring and sterile so I've added some more info below. Somebody must be making money off the word "aggregate".
The web server log files are kept in several places. The current version is kept by our web hosting company. Sometimes, I download the file to my PC for analysis with Splunk for diagnosing errors. Our web hosting company uses a rotating system where the previous file is archived. Files older than 3 months are overwritten.
You can see a good idea of the type of information I see and how I use this data in the article I wrote called, Annual Report on Your Data and our Server Logs.
This is also an area where I continually try different programs. If you have your own site you probably know the ordeal of analysis. Presently, I'm using Google Analytics, ChartBeat, Woopra and Clicky. At various times, I have used ClickTale for heatmaps and to watch user interaction. If you have any concerns or questions, please let me know.
At this point, you might think that a lot of data has been recorded. And you're right. The question is whether it's useful data that a vendor can use. I can't speak for other folks, but I can tell you the info can be helpful. As example, by looking at the data, I can see trends such as more people coming to the site using an Apple OS. This is one of the reasons I stopped using Flash for my screencasts and moved to MP4.
Did that heading scare you? Don't worry I haven't wired the keyboard or activated your webcam although I would prefer it if you smile more often. On occasion, I do have various tests going on the site and use software services like Visual Website Optimizer or Optimizely. A test might be something as simple as changing a color or giving you a different version of a page or message if you're on an older browser. (Yes, I am talking to you people who insist on using very old versions of Internet Explorer). Based on these tests, I may then incorporate the change into production.
I also use a paid video hosting service called Wistia. The service allows me to get analytics on the videos which are used to refine them. For example, if I see red bands on various portions of the analytics snapshot, I know people are rewinding that section and watching it again. This might make me think I need to revise the video. Perhaps, I need to rephrase the callout or slow down the frame. The service also gives me geographic insights as well. Still new to all this video stuff and I have a lot to learn.

Though I make every effort to preserve user privacy, I may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein I have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.
Service Providers
I use several third party providers to distribute ads and our RSS feed. These third parties do not have access to user information other than what they may collect.
This Web site contains numerous links to other sites. Please be aware that I am not responsible for the privacy practices of the other sites. That would be a hoot! I encourage our readers to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies only to information collected by this Web site. I like to use EULAlyzer to capture and evaluate end user license agreements and privacy policies.
If you elect to use our referral service by emailing a friend an article link, the site asks you for the friend's name and email address. Productivity Portfolio will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. Productivity Portfolio uses this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend's email address is not stored, nor are they added to our mailing list. Signing up for our mailing list also requires a double opt-in.
This Web site takes precautions to protect your information. I have chosen a payment vendor that utilizes SSL. When a product order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software by our payment vendor. While on a secure page, such as the payment form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers displays.
While I require our payment vendor to use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, I also protect user information off-line. Our users' information is restricted to our office. Only people who need the information to perform a specific job or service are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Notification of Changes
If I decide to change our privacy policy, I will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places I deem appropriate so our readers are always aware of what information I collect, how I use it, and under what circumstances, if any, I disclose it. I will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
If, however, I plan to use readers' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection I will notify users. Users will have a choice as to whether or not I use their information in this different manner.
In addition, if I make any material changes in our privacy practices that do affect reader information already stored in our database, I will post a prominent notice on our Web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where I post a notice I will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
If you've read this far down into this document, pat yourself on the back. Too few people read Privacy Policies. And if you're the first reader to get this far, send me an email using our Contact Us form with the text, "I can't believe I read the whole policy", I'll send you a $25 Amazon gift certificate. Congrats Griselda!
