DC Ventron Glove - Men's
This gloves are pretty good. They are really easy to move around with which is great but the gloves literally freezed and my hand was numb. I fixed this bu putting some normal linen gloves under for the heating part and the ventron gloves did the resistance part.
Really easy to use but not recpmmend them if u are going to where them alone unless to want your fingers to end up being chopped up

(Updates with special master's pay in sixth paragraph, judge's background in 11th paragraph.)
Oct. 6 (Bloomberg) -- AT&T Inc. and the U.S. Justice Department asked a federal judge to appoint a special master to help manage the government's lawsuit seeking to block the company's purchase of T-Mobile USA Inc.
In a motion filed today in federal court in Washington, AT&T and the government requested that Richard Levie, a retired judge, be named a special master to oversee the process of the two sides exchanging information as the case moves toward trial. Special masters are often appointed in complex lawsuits to help the judge administer a case.
Levie's help will be important "in light of the expedited trial" schedule, according to the request. Last month, U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle, who is hearing the case, set a trial date for Feb. 13.
A former associate judge on the District of Columbia Superior Court, Levie has worked as a mediator since 2000, according to the website of Irvine, California-based JAMS, a private dispute resolution service.
Levie has mediated cases involving telecommunications, high tech and health care matters, according to the website. He's the former president of the Academy of Court Appointed Masters.
Split Cost
AT&T and the government would split the cost of paying Levie, according to the motion.
Michele Apostolos, a spokeswoman for JAMS, said it's against company policy for Levie and other mediators to comment on pending cases. The proposed order, subject to Huvelle's approval, calls for Levie to handle disputes between the parties over such items as whether particular documents have to be turned over and scheduling when evidence and witnesses have to be produced.
The Justice Department sued Dallas-based AT&T and Bonn- based Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile unit on Aug. 31, saying a combination of the two companies would be anticompetitive. The acquisition would make AT&T the biggest U.S. wireless carrier, followed by Verizon Communications and No. 3 Sprint Nextel Corp.
Separate suits to block the purchase have been filed by Sprint and Ridgeland, Mississippi-based Cellular South Inc., the ninth-largest by customers.
AT&T on Sept. 30 urged Huvelle to dismiss the Sprint and Cellular South lawsuits, defending the deal as boosting competition.
Huvelle is known for moving cases assigned to her quickly. She completes almost all her civil actions within three years and has no motions pending before her for more than six months, according to records filed with the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
The case is U.S. v. AT&T Inc., 11-cv-01560, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

Twenty-three-year-old Ken Cosentino flew himself from his home in Niagara Falls, New York, down to Pensacola to work as an assistant director on Atlantic Rim, his second gig with The Asylum. One night early on in filming, he got stoned with Treach and the two decided the movie needed a huge Predator-style gun. So Cosentino spent $300 of his own money to have one fabricated, then another $300 to have it shipped to the shoot. When asked why he'd go out-of-pocket for a prop on someone else's film, he just grins and says, "I thought it would look fucking cool."
The Asylum also takes risks on new talent in front of the camera. "It's like a farm system," says Demetrius Stear, who plays Graham Greene's right-hand man in Atlantic Rim, his third Asylum film. "You have your Major League Baseball, but this is where you go to work on your craft until you get that call. "
Of course, the more seasoned cast members have their own reasons for signing on. Treach says he's here because he loves to act. He's been doing it since 1992's Juice, when he was 22 and still just a roadie for Queen Latifah. Since then he's had small roles in a few movies and on TV, including guest appearances on Oz and Law & Order. Treach makes a lot more money touring—he still plays 150 shows a year—but prefers being on a movie set. Especially one like the Atlantic Rim's, where everyone bonds over the chaos and he's not sitting in a trailer all day. (Well, there are no trailers.)
That said, Treach isn't here for free. The Asylum won't divulge exactly how much each actor makes, but it says that about $150,000 of the $500,000 budget goes to the talent. On occasion the company will up the money for a bigger name—like when it cast Ving Rhames in the Syfy original Zombie Apocalypse—but in general it focuses on, as Rimawi says, "people we can reasonably get." Billy Dee Williams and Bo Derek are not those people, since both turned down roles in Atlantic Rim. Ideally each of the names they cast in an Asylum film will appeal to a different audience. "Baywatch stars are great for European TV," says Rimawi. "And hopefully Graham Greene appeals to the kind of people who don't normally like our movies."
Except Graham Greene may himself be one of those haters, since he keeps ducking me and GQ's photographer. First he says he'll meet with us once the first day's shoot is over. Then he says he'll sit down after his four days on set have wrapped. When I try to approach Greene after his final scene, he turns to a crew member and says loudly, "Tell those GQ guys to fuck off and leave me alone." Maybe he thinks the mockbuster business is beneath an almost Best Supporting Actor (he was nominated in 1991 for Dances with Wolves). Or maybe he's just annoyed that, as he grumbled earlier, the most recent script revise seems like it was "written by a can of spaghetti."
"I'm guessing that many of our main actors do this because they have bills to pay, and they want to be in and out as inconspicuously as possible," says Rimawi. "But the repeat guys have made their peace with what they're doing." Take Chokachi, who's on his fifth Asylum movie. "These are the kind of jobs where I'm like, I need to do some work on my house, so I call up the guys and say, 'Any chance you got something going on?'" he explains. "They pay well and they take care of you." He adds that, unless the paycheck were amazing, he'd never play the lead in a mockbuster—like, say, Thor in The Asylum's 2011 mockbuster Almighty Thor. "To me that's swallowing a hand grenade. When you do something like this, you're in an ensemble. We're in robots, so you can't see our faces as much." He didn't play a lead in The Asylum's 3 Musketeers but did take a role as a "douchebag general." He got some beautiful oak shelves out of it.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of The Asylum's success is just how global demand is for its movies. Roughly half the money for every Asylum film budget comes from international sales—Europe, China, the Middle East—and those happen at the American Film Market. It's where independent producers like The Asylum gather to unload product on distributors from every country on earth. The AFM is a bazaar of B movies, with sellers loudly hawking their wares—Chupacabra vs. the Alamo! Rastafearian! Silent but Deadly!—from suites in the Loews hotel in Santa Monica. Right now it's October 2012, five months before Atlantic Rim even starts filming, and it's here that The Asylum will sell the international rights to the mockbuster to guys like Gerald Scheffer, a candid, middle-aged buyer from Holland.
Sitting across from Rimawi and Bales in their suite, he says, "We have a problem," his thick Flemish accent making the statement sound even more ominous. "It's the reviews—people are reading them."
Scheffer, one of The Asylum's key European distributors, has bought scores of titles from the studio over the years, and now he's playing hardball. He says that the shift from DVDs to streaming lets viewers rate titles on the Euro versions of Netflix and Amazon Instant Video. "Lots of one-stars," he says. "Sometimes when they see an Asylum movie, people give it a half star without even watching." Rimawi leans back in his chair. He's heard it before. Scheffer is his sixtieth meeting this week, including ten with Chinese buyers.

An orange rescue boat docks by a capsized lifeboat, obscured behind, from the British-operated cruise ship Thomson Majesty in Santa Cruz port of the Canary Island of La Palma, Spain, Sunday.LA PALMA, Canary Islands A lifeboat from a British-operated cruise ship fell upside down into the sea at port in Spains Canary Islands during a safety drill, killing five crew members and injuring three others Sunday, officials said. About 1,400 passengers were on board, but none were involved in the accident.
Thomson Cruises confirmed the incident involving the Thomson Majesty ship on the island of La Palma, saying there have sadly been five crew fatalities and three crew injuries. One of the three injured was discharged from a hospital, and the other two were also expected to be allowed to leave the medical facility.
Investigators were trying to determine what caused the lifeboat to plummet into the water.
Rescue personnel were called to the dockside at 7:05 a.m. after a lifeboat with occupants had fallen overboard from a cruise ship docked at the pier of Santa Cruz port in La Palma, a regional government statement said.
A small, white two-hulled lifeboat could be seen capsized beside the large ship. Around 1,400 passengers were aboard at the time of the Thomson Majesty ship, but were not in any way involved in the accident, authorities said.
The ship had been due to sail Sunday afternoon to the Portuguese port of Funchal on the mid-Atlantic island of Madeira.
Three of the dead were Indonesian men, one was a Filipino man and another was a man from Ghana, authorities said. The injured were all men, two aged 30 and another, a Greek national, was 32. They were taken by ambulance to the general hospital of La Palma.
The local authorities of La Palma canceled Carnival festivities that had been due to be held on the island Sunday, but said they would go ahead as planned today.MORE IN Wire NewsMcALESTER, Okla. Full StoryCHARLESTON, S.C. James B. Full StoryPANAMA CITY, Fla. Full Story

The Good
Archer and Armstrong end up taking on the Eternal Warrior, who is Armstrong's brother, while trying to find the successor to the Geomancer, who was killed by Archer's parents.
Before I get into anything else about this issue, I need to talk about the funniest page in comics this week. Without getting into any specifics, the Eternal Warrior is chasing down Armstrong in a way that will only result in the reader laughing. If you don't laugh at this panel, you are a robot, and you should be doing menial tasks and not reading comics. Shame on you, robot.
ARCHER AND ARMSTRONG 5 adds a classic Valiant character to the book, Armstrong's brother, Eternal Warrior, Gilad. The reintroduction, and reboot, to this character is fantastic. Once again, Valiant builds upon their universe and I love the weird family dynamic here. Archer and Armstrong, at this point, are their own family (Archer considers him kin at one point here) and now we have someone of blood relation to Armstrong in the mix, who wants Archer dead. Design-wise, Gilad looks great. It's a simple, but effective outfit featuring mainly a black outfit, with some cool touches like the pieces of metal on his shoulders that remind the reader or ancient Asian armor. I was also really digging on the metal spikes on his knuckles.
Even though we're five issues into A&A, this is a great jumping on point for new readers. Where these characters are headed is explained well in the opening pages, and a new reader won't have any trouble understanding what this book is about and who these characters are.
If you enjoy the occasional fisticuffs in your comics, and let's be honest, who doesn't, then this issue will tickle your senses with endless amounts of fighting. This issue is full of action and punches to the face, but what I loved most about it was the perfect balance between action and story. This book is always moving forward and doesn't become stale. Fred Van Lente's writing is top notch, and this story remains interesting and will keep the reader on their toes.
The Bad
I laughed at one scene way too hard. It was mainly one page.
The Verdict
If you're still reading this review, then you're doing something wrong. You should already be in your car on the way to your LCS. Is it closed? Well, wait outside until morning. You owe it to yourself to read this book. ARCHER AND ARMSTRONG 5 is the start to a new story that anyone can pick up and enjoy. The creative team on this series, and this issue in particular, is fantastic, and it should be one of your top 10 books each month.
Overall, I thing you need this book. Now, time for a wacky rating.
ARCHER AND ARMSTRONG 5 gets 5 screaming Gilad's out of 5.

Is there job potential with just CCNA or do I need more certs?
I am presently attending classes for the CCNA exam. Will I get a job after CCNA certification? How should I proceed further in the networking industry?

Secondly, someone suggested that MCSE certification with CCNA is a good choice, what do you think?
By itself, a CCNA is not enough certification to guarantee employment. The CCNA is a one- or two-exam cert that leads people into the entry levels of Cisco knowledge and skills, but you don't see too many positions advertised (either here in North America, or in India) for people who hold only a CCNA credential. You'll probably need to carry your training and certification further, perhaps into the Cisco professional certs (CCNP, CCDP, CCIP, or CCSP) or into the Microsoft arena (where MCSA can lead pretty naturally to MCSE if you plan things out properly).
And yes, you do find lots of IT professionals who combine CCNA with MCSE. But ultimately, it's what you know how to do, what kinds of problems you know how to solve, and the experience and knowledge you bring to the workplace that make the difference in employability. So be sure to develop your hands-on skills and knowledge as you pursue your certifications; these things will stand you in the best stead during the search for employment later on.

Sam DeHority and Matt Tuthill co-wrote this article. Depending on how you look at it, Frank O'Connor either has the best job in gaming or the worst. The head of 343 Industries is the man most directly responsible for launching a brand new Halo trilogy — and not a prequel or offshoot this time, but a new story arc set after the events of Halo 3. Hallowed gaming ground is beset with all sorts of pitfalls, as O'Connor is well aware having began work on the franchise during the development of Halo 2. He recently showed off the first few minutes of Halo 4 at E3 2012 — a sequence that sees a frightened Cortana wake the Master Chief out of hyper sleep so he can defend the frigate Forward Unto Dawn from what appears to be a rogue band of Covenant. It's clear the campaign mode will waste no time with exposition and thrust players right into the heart of the action, though O'Connor remains somewhat guarded on what role the Covenant will ultimately play and who the real antagonists are. In a recent interview, we picked his brain on campaign, multiplayer and bringing Halo into a new era.

Jack Del Rio is in his third season as defensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos in 2014. He was named to his current position on Feb. 6, 2012.
A coaching veteran of 17 seasons, including a nine-year stretch as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2003-11, Del Rio is the defensive coordinator for the second time under Head Coach John Fox, as the two spent the 2002 season together in Carolina.
Del Rio's defenses have ranked in the Top 6 in the NFL in yards per game allowed in nine of his 16 seasons as a position coach, coordinator or head coach. During that time, he has coached 14 players to a total of 22 Pro Bowl selections.
Jack Del Rio is in his third season as defensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos in 2014. He was named to his current position on Feb. 6, 2012.
A coaching veteran of 17 seasons, including a nine-year stretch as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2003-11, Del Rio is the defensive coordinator for the second time under Head Coach John Fox, as the two spent the 2002 season together in Carolina.
Del Rio's defenses have ranked in the Top 6 in the NFL in yards per game allowed in nine of his 16 seasons as a position coach, coordinator or head coach. During that time, he has coached 14 players to a total of 22 Pro Bowl selections.
In his second season with the Broncos in 2013, Del Rio's defense overcame the loss of several starters throughout the year and managed to improve drastically entering the playoffs. Over the last four weeks of the regular season, Denver ranked fourth in the NFL in total defense (271.5 ypg)—an improvement of 112.7 yards per game from its previous 12 contests.
Del Rio also accepted the additional role of interim head coach (Weeks 10-13) while John Fox underwent a heart procedure and led the Broncos to a 3-1 record against teams with a combined record of 29-9 (.763).
Denver's defense in 2012 finished as the NFL's No. 2 unit (290.8 ypg), ranking third against the pass (199.6 ypg) and the rush (91.1 ypg). The unit also tied for the league lead with 52 sacks and allowed the lowest opponent third-down percentage (30.6), while tying for the largest scoring improvement (6.3 ppg) from the previous season.
The Broncos produced Pro Bowl selections at each level of the defense in 2012, as cornerback Champ Bailey, linebacker Von Miller and defensive end Elvis Dumervil represented Denver on the AFC squad. Linebacker Wesley Woodyard, cornerback Chris Harris Jr. and safety Rahim Moore became productive starters for the group, and defensive end Derek Wolfe became just the second defensive lineman in team history to open every game as a rookie.
Miller, the runner-up for NFL Defensive Player of the Year, set a team record with 18.5 sacks in 2012 and combined with Dumervil (11 sacks) to represent the league's top pass-rushing duo. Additionally, Woodyard became just the second Bronco in 30 years to record at least 100 tackles, five sacks and three interceptions in a season.
Prior to joining the Broncos in 2012, Del Rio spent nine seasons at the helm in Jacksonville. During his head coaching tenure (2003-11) with the Jaguars, the club ranked sixth in the NFL in yards per game allowed (317.3) and eighth in points per game allowed (20.3). A staple of Del Rio's defensive units was their ability to stop the run, surrendering just 105.6 yards per contests on the ground throughout his tenure to rank sixth in the league.
Under Del Rio, the Jaguars made two playoff appearances from 2005-07, highlighted by the club's first postseason win in eight seasons with a 31-29 road victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a 2007 AFC Wild Card Game.
In just his second season in Jacksonville in 2004, Del Rio led the Jaguars (9-7) to their first winning record in five years and a second-place finish in the AFC South Division.
During his lone season as a defensive coordinator with Carolina in 2002, he inherited the NFL's worst defense statistically (371.4 ypg allowed) and turned it into the league's No. 2-ranked unit (290.4 ypg allowed). Additionally, the 2002 Panthers squad led the NFL in rushing average against (3.7) and ranked second in third down efficiency (32.9%) and sacks (52).
As linebackers coach for the Ravens from 1999-2001, Del Rio tutored a talented group that included Boulware, Lewis and Jamie Sharper. Baltimore's 2000 team set the NFL 16-game record by allowing only 165 points while recording four shutouts and forcing a league-best 49 turnovers. Lewis was named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year and the MVP of Super Bowl XXXV that season after a playoff run in which the defense surrendered just one touchdown in four games.
Del Rio began his coaching career with the New Orleans Saints under Head Coach Mike Ditka, serving as an assistant strength coach in 1997 before moving on to coach the linebackers in 1998.
A veteran of 11 seasons as an NFL linebacker, he was drafted in the third round (68th overall) of the 1985 NFL Draft by New Orleans and went on to make the NFL's All-Rookie Team and earn the Saints' Rookie of the Year award.
Following two seasons in New Orleans (1985-86), he played for Kansas City (1987-88), Dallas (1989-91) and Minnesota (1992-95). He led the Vikings in tackles in three consecutive years and was selected to participate in the Pro Bowl during the 1994 season. For his career, he played 160 games (128 starts) in the regular season and totaled 1,078 tackles, 12 sacks and 13 interceptions.
He was a four-year starter at the University of Southern California, where he earned consensus All-America honors as a senior and was runner-up for the Lombardi Award, given to the nation's best lineman or linebacker. Named co-MVP of the 1985 Rose Bowl, Del Rio helped the Trojans to a 30-15-1 record while posting 340 career defensive stops, including 58 tackles for a loss.
Teammates with Randy Johnson and Mark McGwire on USC's baseball team from 1983-84, he was drafted by Major League Baseball's Toronto Blue Jays in 1981.
Del Rio was a three-sport star in football, baseball and basketball at Hayward High School in Hayward, Calif. He earned a degree in political science from the University of Kansas while playing for the Chiefs. Born on April 4, 1963, in Castro Valley, Calif., Del Rio and his wife, Linda, have three daughters (Lauren, Hope and Aubrey) and a son Luke, who is a redshirt freshman quarterback at Oregon State University.
PRO BOWL PLAYERS COACHED (14): CB Champ Bailey (2012), LB Peter Boulware (1999), DE Elvis Dumervil (2012), QB David Garrard (2009), DT John Henderson (2004, '06), DT Kris Jenkins (2002), RB Maurice Jones-Drew (2009-11), TE Mercedes Lewis (2010), LB Ray Lewis (1999-2001), CB Rashean Mathis (2006), LB Von Miller (2012), ST Montell Owens (2010-11), DT Marcus Stroud (2003-05), RB Fred Taylor (2007).

On Monday December 1st we will be closed for Inventory!
Curbside Cycle began - not surprisingly – by the side of the curb, about twenty years ago. Back then we were just a slightly legal tent, a variety of ever-changing locations, and a pretty clear idea about what was missing in the market. Our focus, from the beginning on, was the neglected city cyclist. At the time we were one of many ragtag operations across North America turning old road bikes into flat bar bikes, a trend the bicycle industry later turned into a bike called the hybrid. Around the same time the hybrid was developed we finally acquired storefront in the much desired Annex neighbourhood of Toronto. Sure, we moved a couple feet away from the curb, but we always remained Curbside, a store dedicated to that strip of road beside the curb that the city cyclist occupies.
Today, we're an institution in Toronto's Annex and a fixture in North America's rapidly emerging bike culture. Frustrated with the market dominance of adrenaline performance bikes we began importing proven, stylish, and simple city bikes from Europe - starting a supply chain that now spreads across the continent. In 2007 we started Fourth Floor Distribution, the first company in North America to bring real city bikes to the people. We imagined an all-inclusive barrier-free bike, a bike that is more like your car: comfortable, low-maintenance, long-lasting, and above all, something that is fashion forward - that keeps your clothing free of oil and grime.
We wanted a bike that could glue an urbanites life together the same way a car glues the suburbanites life together. It's a missing product that has existed in countries like Denmark and Holland for over a century. It's hardly revolutionary. But, building a city bike culture in North America is revolutionary, and bicycles are the building blocks. The success of Amsterdam's bike culture and the explosively new bike culture in Paris comes down to one common denominator: the right bike.
Today the Curbside model has been repeated all over North America. Whether it is Adeline Adeline in New York, Flying Pigeon in LA, Bike Bike in Calgary, we have helped create a revolutionary network of retailers that sells the least revolutionary concept ever: the simple bicycle ride - going to work, getting groceries, dropping the kids off at daycare. No performance handling, no spandex or special gear, just a practical bike that is safe, efficient, and upright.
The world needs more upright cyclists. The upright cyclist is not only sitting upright, but is also acting upright. A cyclist is as much a part of traffic as a car, rollerblader, skateboarder or pedestrian. Each street, like a blank slate, is the space where traffic is forever negotiated. This is the bicycle culture we imagine in North America - an all-inclusive group of people who meet everyday, face-to-face instead of window to window, riding fashionably and sweat-free on the most democratic invention ever made: the bicycle.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Latino vote, Latino power
Even though every politician wants the Latino vote, none of them seem too concerned with the actual problems facing the Latino community.
"There are more issues than just immigration. Health issues, education—the Latino community has higher dropout rates," says Dr. Jorge Capetillo, Associate Professor of Sociology at UMass Boston. "We should be worried about that."
As it now stands, Latinos have a 41 percent dropout rate, a 30 percent uninsured rate, and still no actual DREAM Act.
In response to issues like these, community agencies have organized the Boston Latino Conference. The half-day conference takes place at the East Boston Social Club on October 13, and is sponsored by East Boston Ecumenical Community Council, Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition, Neighbors United for a Better East Boston, ¿Oiste?, and SEIU615, with speakers from the Gaston Institute and National Council of La Raza.
The conference focuses on Latino empowerment and involvement on local and national levels. For example ¿Oiste?, which undertakes many voter registration efforts, will show a presentation on Hispanic voting statistics.
"Right now, Latinos only make up six percent of eligible voters [in Mass]," says Alejandra St. Guillen, executive director of ¿Oiste?. "We have the chance to be more, and six percent can be all the difference."
Which brings up the issue of representation: "Latinos make up close to 10 percent of the state, and yet that representation is limited," says Dr. Capetillo.
Out of 200 State House seats, there are only four Hispanic reps and one Latina senator, says St. Guillen. Even in Boston, a minority-majority city, only two of nine district reps are people of color.
"Boston has been dominated by an Italian-Irish political machine for a long time," says Dr. Capetillo. "We can't just wait until the ethnic configuration changes."
"We need to establish a Latino agenda that's in the desk of every politician." St. Guillen adds that, save election years, "the Latino community doesn't receive a lot of attention."
Luis Bravo, a prominent Spanish-language journalist and host of WNUR 1600's Pulso a la Medianoche, recalls Mayor Menino's indifference during the 2009 mayoral race.
After ignoring requests for an interview in Bravo's East Boston newspaper—one of the few local Spanish papers around—he then skipped a candidates' forum in East Boston, partly sponsored by Bravo's Perfiles Publishing Group.
Menino attended a Newbury Street gala instead.
"The other candidates came … the mayor didn't show up," says Bravo. "The people asked 'Why didn't he come?' There wasn't any explanation." The Herald and local papers ran stories on the mayor's "empty seat." Bravo's paper was shut down soon after the event—and he won't say whether the mayor was involved or not.
Still, Bravo maintains that the biggest challenge to the Latino vote isn't incumbent politicians.
"What Latinos need to overcome is apathy," he says. "If we don't, we'll end up in the same situation."
Bravo adds that a distrust of politics is embedded in the culture, since many Latinos come from countries where government corruption is even more prevalent and deadlier.
Apathy and distrust can be defeated—just ask the conference's keynote speaker, Councilman Daniel Valenzuela from Phoenix, Arizona. Valenzuela was a fireman who, like many in his district, thought negatively of elected officials, but one day decided to run for councilman. The odds were against him. His predominantly Latino district always had the lowest voter turnout.
"Latinos don't vote," he says, quoting popular opinion.
"I can't change that the community is Latino, and I wouldn't want to change that. But we can change, and did change, the voting records of Latinos."
In 2011, Valenzuela and the student group "Team Awesome" knocked on every door in District 5, hearing every citizen's concerns and frustrations and actively engaging the community. The results were incredible—the Latino vote in Valenzuela's district increased by 480 percent.
In less than a year, Valenzuela advocated to hire 28 more firefighters, expanded public transit in West Phoenix, secured a new bus station, for his district, and helped broker a public-private agreement with a local college to fund enhanced policing for five years. His short career has been so successful that Obama's Arizona campaign now occupies his headquarters.
"Other candidates ask how I'm able to do this. Here's what I tell them. If you ask people to march 'for me' you might get three or four people. If you ask people to march 'with me' you might get 10."
"Tell people you're going to march 'for them'—that's how you get them."
Valenzuela believes if empowerment could happen in Phoenix, with its poor reputation regarding Latinos, it can happen in Eastie.
"We always talked about the theory of empowerment, the theory of the vote. And that became a reality. The theory is proven."
Note: Follow-up coverage of the event itself is available here.

Just wondering if anyone else has come across Microsoft's Transporter Suite? It effectively allows you to migrate emails from IMAP4/POP3 accounts into Exchange 2007 Mailboxes (which may, or may not already exist).
I've tested it with one of my own mailboxes and it does indeed work (even keeps the status of messages - whether they've been read or not etc.). However, I can't make it work with RM's EasyMail Plus accounts. Whatever I do it always says "POP3Client Failed to Login Successfully". I know the login details are correct, since I can manually telnet to the pop3 server with no difficulties.
The only thing I can see is that the RM POP3 server is actually a POP3 Proxy server - it responds to the initial connection with a line similar to this:
+OK POP3 PROXY server ready (7.2.064.1) <firstname.lastname@example.com symail.th.ifl.net>
Whereas my own POP3 server responds with simply this:
+OK Hello there.
I've emailed the RM SEGfL people about this, but if anyone else can shed any light on it, it'll save me having to manually transfer 100+ staff members' inboxes.
After a bit more experimenting, it looks like IMAP will be the way to go - although for some reason the LEA currently appear to have IMAP blocked on the firewall, so I'll have to chase the relevant people. IMAP will actually bring over all the other folders too (POP3 just does the inbox).

Those who got into LMU, what was your GPA?
- 0Jan 24 by suicidieIn early December, I applied to Lincoln Memorial University's accelerated nursing program in Knoxville for Fall 2014. Those who got in or did not get in, what was your GPA? Is it a competitive program? Also, how soon did you receive notice and an acceptance or rejection?
- 0Jan 26 by Joker269MPCOI graduated from this program in 2012. My GPA at the time of application was 3.4. If you have a 3.0 or above and all the prereq's you should be fine.
- 0Feb 6 by lpc008Hey Joker269MPCO, I just got accepted to LMU for this fall. How is their program? What can we expect? I have read a few posts on here that has made me a little nervous, but overall I'm very excited to get started. I would just like to see someones point of view of the program that recently went through it.
Thank you!
- 0Feb 7 by Joker269MPCOI enjoyed the program. It is fast paced, but overall I thought it was good. They had some staff changes after our class graduated, so im not sure about how it is now. While I was there the staff was there to help you get through, not to see who they could weed out like some other programs. I thinke we lost a total of 5 through the entire program and only 2 of those were academic and the rest were personal issues. Unless things have changed drastically you should have a good experience there. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask me or PM me.
- 0Feb 10 by lpc008Thank you! Thats very good to know that they are there to help you and not weed you out! That makes me feel a little better. Where did you do your clinicals at? and Were you able to get a job right after graduation? I am not from the Knoxville area so I am currently trying to find where to find apartments at! It is not an easy task.
- 0Feb 10 by Joker269MPCOlpc008, I did clinical at UT and Parkwest Hospital. They also have clinicals at Blount Memorial. I did get a job in an ICU right after graduation. I was hired before graduation and started about 2 weeks after graduation. Start applying at the beginning of your last semester and you should have no problem. I think pretty much everyone in our class had a job within a few months of graduation. There is a large apartment complex just down the road from LMU on Cedar Bluff Road. I think its called Sunchase. I cant vouch for how nice they are though.
