I found out some info I called Viacom and Directv and Honestly they are both at Fault. Directv pays Viacom less then any provider per subscriber, Viacom wants them to pay Fair value.
Well Directv claims a Billion dollar increase, But Viacom claims its only pennys, So How does Directv come up with its Billion dollar number? $1 increase per subscriber is only $20 million. So Directv is never going to convince me that Viacom want an addtional $5 per customer. Sorry don't buy it!
And Viacoms stock was just downgraded thanks to under-performing programming. Shouldn't Directv be asking LESS to carry their programming instead of getting stuck with a 30% increase?

Linux Foundation End User Summit: New BtrFS Filesystem and Knowledge Center
The Linux Foundation got positive results from its first ever End User Summit in New York October 14 and 15. Its concept of "end user" ended up including not only private users but many enterprises and organizations.
By its own admission, the nonprofit organization enthusiastically welcomed participants from the financial arena, despite the current crisis on Wall Street, among them Merrill-Lynch, UBS, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Credit Suisse. In their summary the organization even suspected a connection and opined, "perhaps in these times companies are committed to making the most of their investments."
Among the highlights of the event, the Linux Foundation presented the new BtrFS Linux filesystem. A workgroup at the foundation is working on the filesystem to address the increasing volume of data. Developers from IBM, Intel, Novell and other enterprises are working under Oracle's leadership to get a version of BtrFS in the kernel by end of year. Meanwhile Ted T'so's parallel effort to get his ext4 filesystem into the kernel is already in the works. The presentations related to the new filesystem emphasized security aspects and the prevention of possible data loss. The new functions include a tool for end-to-end data integrity checking and support for data and metadata checksumming in the ext4, BtrFS and XFS filesystems. For ext4, the fsck time will get significantly faster. Another central theme was the reworked multipathing code that is now request-based instead of bio-based, promising better control and error handling oversight.
The summit exchange not only profited end users but also developers. Participants from the financial sector mentioned an increasing relevance in that many of their customers have large numbers of mid-sized nodes at data centers with relatively little data stored on local hard disks that rely on network file systems (NFS or AFS). Work on the parallel NFS v4.1 was particularly interesting to this sector, along with work on persistent NFS client caching. Both initiatives are currently in development. So that enterprises can better profit from current developments, the community representatives asked for their help in evaluating upstream kernels. In one case a large bank agreed to take on some testing and notify the community of its results.
Another result of the information exchange was a new workgroup to address systems management. The foundation's end-user council intends to formulate relevant use-cases to present to community developers and vendors for collaboration.
The issue of open source hardware drivers was also brought up with private vendors to encourage their support. This issue was already an agenda item at the Annual Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit in the Spring of 2008, for an appeal for the larger vendors to exert influence on the hardware companies to adopt open source drivers. In addition, a proposed knowledge database should be of interest not only to the enterprise market. The foundation is planning a web-based knowledge center to give users a broader spectrum and collaboration environment for greater open software transparency.
The extensive presentations included a session on Cloud Computing in which Gerritt Huizenga described how Linux is the preeminent OS for the cloud. Other Open Source proponents could view this with a certain skepticism. The father of free software, Richard Stallman, has recently derided the principle of rented IT services as a trap and warned against its implementation.
The Linux Foundation promises to provide greater details in November on the results of the summit.
It seems strange to mention novell as one of the main people working on btrfs and not redhat. I've only seen a few novell patches on the btrfs mailinglists. They were from a SUSE engineer and meant to to fix how btrfs interacts with Apparmor, their out of tree security module.
Redhat however, has Josef Bacik working on btrfs (what seems like) mostly fulltime. Take a look for yourself:

Carson's next guest | Beckham's posh brand of football has vanguard to follow
In advance of an August 1968 exhibition between the North American Soccer League's Atlanta Chiefs and Santos, an Atlanta Constitution editorial cartoon by Clifford "Baldy" Baldowski mentions Chiefs star Kaizer "Boy Boy" Motaung. The South African, invited to play for the Chiefs due to apartheid-era strictures, in 1970 would found Kaizer Chiefs of Soweto to honor his NASL sojourn.
We have offered our two cents—at current exchange rates, slightly less than one pence—on David Beckham's touchdown (bad metaphor?) in the United States. The article appears in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Sunday "@issue" section ("Summer of Beckham," Jul 15).
Beckham falls in line with legions of globe-wandering footballers who almost since the codification of association-football laws in 1863 have acted as cultural and economic bridge-builders with a ball at their feet. Beckham, to be sure, is better equipped than most to evangelize the sport.
But there have been precursors. We share some memories, not included in the AJC story, of our beginnings in the lower divisions of the Tilden Woods Recreation Center league in suburban Maryland.
Our league launched, like so many others, in the excitement generated by Pelé's three-year turn, from 1975–77, with New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League. Pelé was the only player I knew as a boy, primarily from the way he leaped, clad in the yellow Brazilian jersey, into teammates' arms during the "thrill of victory" montage on Wide World of Sports.
In the time I played, coaches treated our team as if we were wooden figures on a foosball table, positioned on rigid metal arms. If the ball came toward the defense, they yelled, "Defenders, move in!" We then had permission to step out of the quasi-military formation that resulted when philosophies of American football were grafted, in the absence of preexisting soccer teachings, onto what is by nature an improvisational, free-flowing game. Public-address announcers celebrated long kicks, even if they flew 50 yards out of bounds. The highest compliment our coach could muster was to say that "you spent the entire half with the ball on your shins." I'm still not sure what he meant.
By contrast, urban and suburban youth of these times demonstrate composure and ball skills with both feet, emulate the goal celebrations of Latin and European heroes and intuit the game's multicultural appeal. The "soccer nation"—annoying phrase—may be denied by the talk-radio curmudgeons. But it's already here.

All but 7 but I did marry a Minnie so that has to count for something.
DW tolerates all of our Disney trips as it's a very relaxing trip for her as she can go with her own flow and come and go as she pleases. Me and DD always hit the parks running and until late into the night. Check out DDs TINK ROOM in my Sig. She has it bad as well. But we had to take down her Bed as it was just getting to be to much with her growing and needing the room. I have to rework some stuff for her. Add to your List 1> Disney songs on your Mp3 player 2>Disney Ringtones for your Cell. 3> everything Disney for Wallpapers and screensavers. 4> Disney Fonts and Icons as well. 5> and you bought the Disney Bedding for your room Goofy should be our Mascot as lets face it we all are a bit and he was the ultimit Disney Dad

Another Disney Dad here. Where do I send my application?
I like to plan my next disney trip before I leave for the current trip. I am currently working on my 2008, 2009, and 2010 trips simultaneously. Unfortunately my wife is not as much of a Disney fan. She says that the more I talk about it, the less she wants to go. She just wants to know when we are going and at what hotel. All other planning matters are my resposibility but no commando trips are allowed. Fortunately my DS(3) is beginning to show signs of Disneyitis. When mommy is sleeping, we watch Disney episodes on the Travel Channel. I recorded all the episodes on my DVR.

I wish could tell you how to get your wife excited about Disney. We really didn't do anything special. Our son and I started planning our second trip while we were packing to leave WDW during our first trip. After the second trip, a year later, she was hooked. There was no resistance when we wanted to book our third trip. 2 weeks after our third trip, SHE had our fourth trip booked (for the week before Thanksgiving last year - she wanted to see Disney Christmas decorations). Since then she has been reading this DIS boards and planning and dreaming almost as much as our son and I. Now if we don't have a trip planned, one of us just have to mention Disney and she starts with the look of Magic in her eyes just like us!
Have a great day, Ben.

I meet 1,2,4,13 and 14 above.
I have 6yo and 4yo daughters. Mascot should be either Goofy, Grumpy or Tigger. I'd also like to put forward some more criteria: You have Disney knicknacks all over your "man cave/dude room/office". You drink your coffee from one of your multiple Disney mugs.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, bacon in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO what a ride!"
Some people are like slinkies, they don't really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs! |

I would like to join too! "We" also watch the Disney planning DVD every once in a while, and look forward to the Travel Channel Disney specials that come on, usually at Christmas time.
DW planned our first trip last October, and we were hooked. We are now planning our second trip for next November...the whole family can't wait to get back there. I too am guilty of the Disney merchandise at my desk at work. I try to place them apart enough so that people don't think I'm weird. It's only a Mickey "#1 Dad" mug, magnetic clips, pictures, Expedition Everest screen saver ... ok, it IS starting to sound like a lot. Anyway, I'm in!

You can add Disney Luggage, Computer Bag, Animated Mickey Watch, Goofy Hitch Receiver Cover on my Truck, Goofy pjs and slippers, Mickey pjs and bathrobe and a lot of other Disney clothing. I especially like my Grumpy's Gas and Grease Mechanics shirt We are DVC owners and spent 3 weeks there this summer. We just got back from a 4 day weekend (just the wife and I) and have 2 trips planned for 2008. I think the Best Disney Dad ever, aka Goofy should be the mascot. |

The goal of the Family Treatment Court is the preservation of families or reunification of children with parents who have been charged with neglect as a result of substance abuse. Other permanency plans may be facilitated for children when reunification with the parents is not possible.
The Family Treatment Court was first implemented in December of 1997 in Suffolk County as a result of the overwhelming numbers of parents who appear before the Court on Neglect petitions due to substance/ alcohol abuse. These parents are directed to attend a drug rehabilitation program by case managers (employed by the state) who monitor their progress in their treatment programs.
Child welfare and visitation issues are addressed by Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) employed by EAC. The CASA will make visits to the child's residence to assess whether the child's needs are being met by the current custodian. The CASA will gather information from the child's parent(s), custodians and professionals involved in the child's life, such as Child Protective Services caseworkers, teachers, doctors, the child's attorney, therapists, daycare providers, public health nurses, etc.
Progress of parents and children is reported directly to the Court by the case manager and the CASA respectively. The CASA will assist the parent with filing petitions for increases in visitation when it is appropriate to do so. The CASA will also provide referrals for parenting programs, family therapy, housing, clothing and food pantries.
The Family Treatment Court employs a Department of Social Services liaison who facilitates communication between FTC and Child Protective Services. The liaison also assists parents with Medicaid and public assistance issues.

MADISONVILLE, Ky. (6/25/13) – Madisonville Community College (MCC) will begin offering an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree program in Healthcare Technology Management (HTM) in the fall semester.
The profession of Healthcare Technology Management involves the care of medical equipment and systems to ensure they are safe and effective for patient use. HTM students will be trained on how to repair, maintain, and manage all types of medical technologies and systems. The title "Healthcare Technology Management" is the replacement name for the long-standing occupational name of "Biomedical Equipment Technology."
Previously, the sole duty of a Biomedical Equipment Technician was that of performing repairs and maintenance on medical equipment. Today, they are involved in all aspects of medical technology throughout its entire life-cycle. This includes such areas as equipment planning and acquisition, acceptance testing, routine maintenance and performance testing, conducting repairs, training others on how to properly use the technology, responding to product recalls, and removal and disposal of the technology.
The Healthcare Technology Management program is primarily composed of 17 HTM classes in addition to several courses in computer and information technology. Besides the AAS degree, students can earn five certificates as they progress through the program courses including a certificate in "Foundations in Healthcare Technology Networking Systems." The certificates may also be acquired without pursuing the degree. All HTM classes will be delivered online and lab courses associated with one or more HTM classes will be conducted on campus using a one-day-a-week scheduling approach. This will allow those from outside the local area to reasonably take advantage of this program.
For more information about the new Healthcare Technology Management program, please contact Joey Jones, HTM Program Coordinator, at 270-824-1759.

But before the official transition, Wright spoke of accomplishments in 2012.
He described last year as one of new programs. In Robinson's address, the incoming chairman outlined a year for members in 2013.
Wright is leaving his leadership post with the Chamber in time to serve as chairman of the American Road & Transportation Builders Association, a national federation that represents the transportation design and construction industry before Congress, the White House, federal agencies, news media and general public.
He is also president and chief executive officer of Wright Brothers Construction Co. of Charleston.
He expressed appreciation for the opportunity to serve as the 2012 chairman of the local Chamber.
"You don't realize what an organization does and I would encourage anyone who has the opportunity to participate in the process and work on these boards in leadership. It makes you more aware of what these organizations do," he said.
Robinson introduced 2013 as the "Year of the Member." He said the Chamber puts out a detailed program of work every year, which is posted on the organization's website. He urged every member to read it — "and I mean really read it. It is the backbone of what we give you for your investment. It touches every facet of our community."
He said a strong, aggressive program helps all member and nonmember businesses alike.
"If anyone asks what has the Chamber done for me, be prepared to sit down with me and review this document, because that's what the Chamber does do for you," he said.
The Year of the Member is a small part of the Chamber's function, but it is something of which Robinson is passionate. It includes membership recognition, the vision of the organization's united strength and expansion.
"In order to keep this organization strong, we must have long-term commitment. We must have members who stay," he said. "Every year of my 40 years of membership was not perfect and every year was not a magical year when you announced a huge plan. Some days are just ordinary. Some days it is just a struggle in the trenches."
United through strength makes Cleveland and Bradley County able to compete against other cities and win, he said. His goal is to expand membership from the mid-700s to 1,000 by Dec. 31.
"All of our staff and our board of directors believe in this goal. We have on our staff Aaron Weatherford, who is young, energetic, and he's ready for the challenge," he said. "We're all in the membership business, because it's hugely important to the success and to the future of this organization."
He asked each member to help meet the membership goal.
"Join us, and I promise you it will be worth the ride," he concluded.
During his final remarks before passing the gavel, Wright named five new successful programs created last year. They included the Women's Council, Safety Council, Breakfast for Champions Program, Cash Mob and the International Cow Pea Cookoff.
The Hiwassee River Blue Way along the Hiwassee River is a joint tourism effort of several county, state and federal agencies that promises to be another attraction in this part of the country.
He noted Wacker is continuing with its $1.8 billion project. Whirlpool transitioned to its new facility on Benton Pike and started on its research and development lab. Olin Corporation completed the construction phase of its $160 million conversion from mercury cell to the environmentally friendly cell membrane process. Lonza finished a $32 million efficiency improvement project and Amazon has expanded its facility. That company's full-time employment increased from 244 to more than 500.
"I think I meet every one of them every afternoon on the road when I try to go home," he said.
Proctor and Gamble Duracell completed a $36 million expansion and Mars Chocolate North America committed to a $63 million production expansion.
Also late in the year, the city of Cleveland and Bradley County finalized the purchase of property for the Spring Branch Industrial Park.
"For the last 40 years, every annual meeting has had an update about the Cleveland airport. They can take it off the list now," he said. "It's open and that will be a blessing to the community for years to come."
The 2013 officers include chairwoman-elect, Debbie Melton, Don Ledford Automotive; immediate past chairman, Stephen Wright, Wright Brothers Construction Co.; treasurer, Mike Baker, BB&T Bank; vice chairman for economic development, Bob McIntire, McIntire and Associates; vice chairman for community development, Jeff Cox, Corporate Networking Solutions; vice chairman for membership, Kevin Moore, AXA Advisors; vice chairman for public affairs, Cameron Fisher, Church of God International; and vice chairman for the Convention and Visitors Bureau, Shannon Ritzhaupt, Café Roma.
New board members include Dr. Konrad Bachhuber, Wacker Polysilicon North America; Dr. Matt Ryerson, United Way of Bradley County; Dr. Chris Thacker, Tennessee Valley Neurology; Dr. Dewayne Thompson, Lee University; Julian Sullivan, Bank of Cleveland and Loy Hamilton, Coldwell Banker Hamilton and Associates.

ARMANI'S LATEST CAUSE: Giorgio Armani is not one to shy away from controversy and his public outcry this week against the numerous illegal vendors on the streets surrounding Milan's cathedral and the city's general lack of decorum prompted the mayor, Letizia Moratti, to say that "any initiative [Armani] might have in mind, is more than welcome in an effort to improve the city," according to a spokeswoman.
Armani's wish to better Milan did take shape on Tuesday, when he unveiled the restoration of the iconic palazzo–turned-museum, Villa Necchi Campiglio, with a garden party. The designer, who said he is "fascinated by the artistic and cultural richness of the villa," has helped support the restoration, which cost 6 million euros, or $8.7 million, and lasted three years. The residence, built between 1932 and 1935, has been donated to the Italian Cultural Institute FAI in 2001, which Armani supports. "I had always admired the villa, ever since I was a young boy," the designer said. "And, much later, when I told Giulia Maria Crespi [president of FAI], I wanted to talk to her about it, she knew I wanted to see if there was a chance for me [to buy it] and the first thing she told me was: 'Forget about it! Get it out of your mind....'"
Clive Owen, Adrien Brody and girlfriend, Elsa Pataki, who took in the designer's men's show earlier, were among those expected to attend the party. Also at the show were Maria Shriver with brother Bobby and daughter Katherine. "It's a trip to celebrate her graduation," said Shriver, who last attended an Armani show eight years ago.
GUINNESS DONS THE DIRECTOR'S HAT: Daphne Guinness, wearer of many fashionable hats, is to fete her first directorial effort during Paris couture week. Dubbed "Phenomenology of Body," the four-and-a-half minute short, described by Guinness as an art installation-cum-film, is based on the history of the female spirit. Stills from the work that will premiere on the T: The New York Times Style Magazine Web site on Friday, will be exhibited at the Hotel de Crillon on July 1, with Alexander McQueen among those expected. The images will then be put up for sale on the Starworks Web site, with proceeds going to the charity Womankind. The work features 13 historic female figures — including Joan of Arc, a cupcake-clutching Marie Antoinette, played by Guinness, and Emily Pankhurst — consecutively spinning in the dark, bathed in varying pools of light. Choreographed to music by LCD Soundsystem, the film ends with a young lady peeling off her long red burka. "It's about the body and the soul, concealing and revealing, empowerment; clothing has always been so political," said Guinness, herself clad in a micro Azzedine Alaïa mini and towering Christian Louboutin platform stilettos for breakfast at the Ritz last week. "The message is that we all have the power to choose," she said.

As luck would have it, my EPSN Magazine subscription (it was real paper and everything… the "dead tree version", they call it) ended last month. Which means I'm missing out on their music-themed issue that's coming out this month. Now let's just forget the fact that the whole concept's a little shaky and they're a sports magazine doing a music issue, which is just weird. Aside from that!
I haven't seen the magazine, so all I really know about it is that they recreate some album covers that they call iconic with professional athletes. As I said. Shaky concept. Also, Katy Perry is nowhere near iconic and neither is Beyoncé. Isn't there like a minimum number of years – say, ten – before we can label stuff iconic? No? Well, there should be.
Another thing that should be mentioned about ESPN Magazine: they tend to forget that baseball exists. So there's just one photo with baseball players and it's Justin Upton, Evan Longoria, Brandon Phillips, Giancario Stanton and Shane Victorino recreating Freedom of Choice, by Devo.
I feel sort of cheated, to be honest. We (and by we, I mean MLB and by extension MLB fans) didn't get Bob Dylan or Nirvana of MJ… hell, I would have settled for Katy Perry.
I took matters into my own hands.
Larry Baer got in on the fun.
As did, uh, Aaron Rowand.
And lastly Barry Zito as everyone's favorite crazy diamond.
Take that, ESPN Magazine.

Cubs have DH in the waiting in Class A slugger Dan Vogelbach
BY GORDON WITTENMYER firstname.lastname@example.com April 4, 2013 1:52PM
Dan Vogelbach, 20, is one of a touted group of promising young hitters at the Class A level of the Cubs' farm system – perhaps the best pure power hitter in the bunch. And he hits left-handed. | Brian Powers~Sun-Times Media
Friday: 6:30 p.m., CSN+, 720-AM, Scott Feldman (6-11, 5.09 in 2012) vs. Mike Minor (11-10, 4.12).
Saturday: 6:10 p.m., ch. 9, 720-AM, Carlos Villanueva (7-7, 4.16) vs. Julio Teheran (0-0, 5.68).
Sunday: 12:35 p.m., CSN, 720-AM, Jeff Samardzija (1-0, 0.00, 2013) vs. Tim Hudson (0-0, 6.23, 2013).
Updated: April 5, 2013 8:58PM
PITTSBURGH — Dan Vogelbach is hard to miss in any room. He's 6-feet, 250 pounds and built like he's destined to be the next great Wrigley Field slugger or star in the next Flintstones movie.
Cubs officials say he has a unique and charismatic personality that resonates with teammates, but on a rare day in March when the Class A first baseman was invited to join big-league spring training as an extra player, he was quiet and serious, somehow faded into the background of the clubhouse.
''It's a good experience. You get to see how the big-leaguers work, see how everything's done up here,'' he said. ''It just makes me want to get here faster.''
Vogelbach, 20, is one of that touted group of promising hitters at the Class A level of the Cubs' farm system — perhaps the best pure power hitter in the bunch. And he hits left-handed.
But he's also a first baseman, with no other reasonable position in his portfolio, playing for a team with Anthony Rizzo installed at first.
And that makes the latest talk of adopting the designated hitter rule for both leagues especially relevant to the rebuilding Cubs.
With Major League Baseball in its first season of 15-team leagues and, consequently, interleague games every week, the subject is expected to get increased attention. Cubs president Theo Epstein predicted to USA Today that the DH was coming, and ''hopefully we're just a few years away.''
The timing might not be better for the Cubs and their hitting prospects, particularly Vogelbach, a second-round draft pick out of Florida in 2011.
''You produce some pretty good hitters in the minor leagues,'' manager Dale Sveum said, and sometimes you might have to trade them off or whatever because of the positions when . . . you might not have a spot for them.
''I think Vogelbach's a good example of that type of guy. You might not have a spot, but you would if you had a DH. That's a guy you drafted high, and you can keep him in the organization as a hitter.''
But Sveum's not sure he's in favor of adding the DH rule just yet.
''I kind of like it the way it is,'' he said. ''Obviously, it makes sense now with the new scheduling. But I enjoy the National League game. I enjoy managing the National League game.''

Acne is a common condition that a lot of people have to go through. Billions of people all over the world have had acne or are currently suffering from this condition. The demand for a good acne treatment is so huge that a lot of manufacturers see this as a window of opportunity to bring in a lot of cash. The reality is acne is a big business and it is very lucrative. Check out proactiv plus reviews.
Because of the high demand, thousands of acne treatments flood the market. There are a few decent ones, some not that effective but can nonetheless help you with your acne condition and a lot of these products are simply ineffective. Because of this huge list of acne products, a lot of acne sufferers are just too confused and may find it overwhelming. They just don't know where to start. If you are one of these individuals, here is a list of acne treatments that I find safe and effective.
Exposed Skin Care Kit- The exposed skin care kit contains several acne products that are especially formulated to provide individuals a complete and effective way of treating acne without causing more damage to the healthy skin cells surrounding your blemishes. It uses active chemical compounds with natural soothing ingredients to counter the side effects of the chemical ingredients used to treat acne. Initially, when you use exposed, you won't feel it working. This is a good thing. Acne products that stings and makes your skin tight can actually damage your skin. Aside from the amazing benefits that you can get from the exposed kit, the products are also backed up with the best guarantee. This means that the manufacturers are very confident that their products work.
Natural Acne Treatments- Generally, natural acne treatments are deemed to be safe to use on all skin types. There are a lot of products out there that uses natural ingredients to formulate their products. Compared to chemical acne treatments, natural acne treatments are milder. Though it usually takes longer to see results, it is better to go slow but sure than have an aggressive treatment that will only make your acne worse. However, you need to be careful because some products claim to use natural ingredients but the truth is there is nothing natural about these products. Do your own research before buying an acne treatment. You will get tons of information that will help you find the best acne treatment.

Wishnatzki"Fruit quality is average," he said Nov. 27. "Sometimes, the initial early fruit is a little bit tender and not as good as it should be, but we should have some high quality fruit in 10 days."
Pollard said Astin's owner, Sam Astin III, who grows on 1,000 acres, should start harvesting in early December with higher quality fruit entering the market by Dec. 10.
All varieties should be yielding with promotable volume by Dec. 20, Pollard said.
Dover-based BBI Produce Inc., began scrapping or light harvesting Nov. 20.
After a disastrous season last year, the new season is shaping up to be more typical, said Chris Smith, sales manager.
"Last year, we had more early fruit than we had in the past because of all the early heat," he said Nov. 27. "This year, we started more normal with normal cool weather and things look really good. We are in a more previous year's mode or average."
Florida volume typically runs through late March with smaller volumes shipped into mid-April.

The day of clinching is a grab-the-popcorn and cross your fingers kind of day. The day after clinching is quite the opposite. It's a slow, lazy, happy sort of day. But it was as soon as today's lineup hit the internet that the reality began to set in. The reality being that Giants are the 2012 National League West Champions. 2012. National. League. West. Champions.
Blanco CF, Theriot 2B, Arias 3B, Nady LF, Pill 1B, Peguero RF, Whiteside C, Burriss SS and Petit RHP.
For the second time in three years, which is not bad at all. A sense of inevitability set in, oh, every time Marco Scutaro came up to bat and when, a few thousand pitching changes later, they did clinch it, I was ridiculously happy. Even happier, I think, than 2010. The comparisons are many and unavoidable, but I think these two teams, in many ways, couldn't be more opposite. And I'll go on record saying I think this one is better. It's anyone's guess how the postseason will go – cloudy with a chance of winning, if you ask me – but I think we've got a really solid group here for a few years to come.
And that's a gratifying feeling. It gives way to elation, because this is just the beginning. Bochy said that chances are all five starters will make the postseason roster, one of them as a reliever, and it seems right now that the Giants will be opening the NLDS against Cincinnati. I'm already getting excited for it. The way last night's game ended, with all that fantastic relief pitching, was one of the big things that's been key to the Giants success this season and that Pablo Sandoval catch was also completely spectacular, even if it wasn't quite a Jonathan Sanchez triple. We missed a year, but we're back and better than ever. Weird lineups and 2012 postseason, we're ready for you.
Diamond Girl
p.s. They lost today. But I'm still smiling, so go figure.

President Van Deacon called the meeting to order; the Rev. Bill Beard gave the invocation; and Deacon led the pledge to the U.S. flag; Dave Whaley led the pledge to the Tennessee flag; and Joe Brock led the SAR flag pledge.
Deacon commented on several issues. He proposed several changes for the chapter including a reworked chapter website, and increased committee activity.
He mentioned an online system through which members might want to pay for their meals. He also commented on the new movie "Lincoln" and how much we don't know about a famous person, especially the political side in Lincoln's case.
Deacon asked for volunteers to work with individual schools providing patriotic/historical support. He also commented on how so many great individuals, like the founding fathers, could all come together at one time in history.
Under officer reports, Deacon spoke on the upcoming Patriots Day on April 19, and announced the Col. Benjamin Cleveland statue would be unveiled at the First Street Park during the ceremony on that day.
Stan Evans and Claude Hardison gave additional information on the current status, and details of the placement of the statue.
Deacon also announced he was placing James Stone's name in contention for the state position of director of District 3. The Treasurer's Report was given, and both the general and statue are in good shape.
Evans thanked all for their cards, prayers and support given him during his recent surgery to have a kidney removed.
Evans also reported on the recent Wreaths Across America program at the Chattanooga National Cemetery on Dec. 15. He noted he was unable to attend the program this year since he was in the hospital, but that he did chair the chapter's "selling of wreaths" for display at the cemetery. He stated the chapter sold wreaths totaling $1,035 this year. And with $5 for each wreath sold coming back to the chapter, the chapter will now receive a total of $345 for its treasury from the wreaths sold.
TNSSAR Vice President and chapter member Claude Hardison reported on several upcoming events.
He stated the Tennessee Society Board of Governors meeting would be held on Jan. 12 in Franklin, with several members of the chapter planning to attend. He also noted in March the Tennessee Society SAR State Convention would be held in Chattanooga.
Hardison said the results of several state contests were already announced, and the Col. Benjamin Cleveland Chapter place second in the Friends of the Library as well as Committee for the Advancement of America's Heritage events.
Past Chapter President David Hicks, who for many years has led the chapter's participation in the History Fair, introduced the keynote speaker Kathryn Ervin, 4-H Program assistant in charge of the History Fair who has been a 4-H'er since she was in the fourth grade.
A native of Cleveland, Ervin attended Big Spring Elementary, Bradley Central High School and Cleveland State Community College. She has four children and one grandchild. She attends Farmland Community Church, where she serves as the children's education director. She was an active 4-H member during high school and devoted her time to the leadership, citizenry and clothing projects. Later she became the 4-H program assistant for the University of Tennessee's Bradley County Extension Office.
She has served in this position for the past 15 years where she develops monthly programs and meets 4-H clubs in classrooms.
Some of her awards include the 2006 Loyalty Day Award and the Mildred Pendergrass Award for Services from UT Institute of Agriculture. The 4-H History Fair was Ervin's brainchild, and the program has become more successful throughout the last seven years.
Ervin started by saying the 4-H started in 1911 with the Girl's Canning Club and the Boy's Corn Club. And in 1941 there were 414 members of the 4-H, while today there are 3,808. She said the 4-H stands for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health, and t the 4-H motto is To Make The Best Better.
Ervin thanked the Col. Benjamin Cleveland Chapter for all its monetary support to the History Fair poster contest each year, and for faithfully providing judges for the contests. This year the History Fair date will be moved from May to November.
Ervin discussed the many programs the 4-H has in different grades, but concentrated on the learning projects in grades 4 through 6. Their different subjects include Tennessee Indians, the Three Grand Divisions, Tennessee's Natural Divisions, Famous Tennesseans, Historical Tennesseans and many, many more.
On the subject of Tennessee Indians, she mentioned the Cherokee in the East, the Creek also in the East, and the Choctaw in the West.
Speaking about famous Tennesseans, she mentioned people like the late Reggie White, a football star; the late journalist Carl Rowan with "Meet the Press"; Leroy Reeves, who chose the design of the Tennessee flag; author Alex Haley; Olympic track star Wilma Rudolph; surgeon and legislator Dr. Dorothy Brown; the Jubilee Singers of Fisk College, and many more. Recent Tennesseans in this category always include Elvis, Dolly Parton, Al Gore and Lamar Alexander. Also falling into the category of historical Tennesseans were John Sevier, Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, David Crockett and Cordell Hull and many others.
Special mention was made of Sequoyah, who developed the Cherokee syllabary (alphabet) of 86 characters, which took him 12 years. Also William Strickland, the architect who designed the Tennessee State Capital building, which took him 14 years. In 1845, it was the second-oldest state Capital building in the country behind Maryland. He stated this was his greatest accomplishment, and requested to be buried there. There is also another Tennessean buried on the state capital grounds, and that is President James K. Polk.
The guest introduced was Bobby Kimsey, a friend of Deacon. All wives and visitors were welcomed and recognized.
With no further business, Van Deacon proceeded to close the meeting by leading the Recessional and the Rev. Bill Beard delivered the benediction. The closing gavel was struck and the meeting was adjourned.

Here are some notes from that talk--
We each find our own meaning in poems. We put the "me" in the "meaning." We decide what poems mean to each of us.
Thanks. Well done. You've saved me huge amt. of time/energy (& it's limited) today. I can send your link to several folks. Cheers.
very thought provoking - must have been an interesting talk!
this is wonderful! i find myself linking to your site on a regular basis because of tips like these!
I love this line:
The poem is one half of a handshake, by writing the poem, you have outstretched your hand, the reader reaches out and (hopefully!) grabs on. This is the connection, the meaning, this where the letters on the page move from just being words to being something greater, this become the poem.
You've inspired me to think about a post on What Makes a Good Short Story.Hmm...
Thank you so much! I'm glad you boiled it down and kept it simple, because I will remember the 3M's! :)
hey, there, i came here through Jessie's shout out..
very enjoyable look on such a complicated thing..
i most like your idea of "The poem is one half of a handshake" - this is so very true...perhaps a poem is one hand and the reader is the other - together a clap can be born

Microsoft PowerPoint is an application used for constructing presentations, and comes with the Microsoft Office Suite. For more information, see the vendor's site found at the following link.
Remote exploitation of a heap corruption vulnerability in Microsoft Corp.'s PowerPoint could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user.
In particular, there is code that parses structures in the PowerPoint file. If the number of these structures is greater than a certain value, then memory corruption will occur. This memory corruption leads to the executing of arbitrary code.
Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening the file. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to convince a user to open a malicious file.
iDefense has confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities in the following versions of PowerPoint:
* PowerPoint 2000 SP3
* PowerPoint XP SP3
PowerPoint 2003 SP2 and SP3 contain the vulnerable code, but by default are unable to open PowerPoint 4.2 formatted files. This is due to the Office 2003 SP2/SP3 File Block Policy, which limits the file formats that Office applications will open without special permissions. If the targeted user has disabled the File Block Policy settings in PowerPoint 2003 SP3, then they are vulnerable. However, this is a non-default configuration. More on this policy can be found at the following URL.
Office 2007 and Office 2007 SP1 are not vulnerable to these issues.
Use the cacls program to deny access to the DLL containing the vulnerable code, PP4X32.DLL. This will prevent the vulnerable DLL from loading in PowerPoint, which will also prevent users from importing PowerPoint 4.0 files. If Office 2003 SP3 is being used, then the default behavior is to block the opening of PowerPoint 4.0 files. If the default behavior has been changed, restoring it is an effective workaround.
Microsoft has released a patch which addresses this issue. For more information, consult their advisory at the following URL:
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2009-0223 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems.

'It wesnae a goal, Geoff' | Worldwide, Scots lend 'fitba' their distinctive style
On 13 Apr 1946, Scotland defeats England 1–0 at Hampden Park, Glasgow, before 139,468. The Mount Florida ground in 1937 had, at another England friendly, set the attendance record for an international match: 149,415. The total remains a European record. (www.britishpathe.com)
Dundee, Scotland | Author and presenter Billy Kay has helped produce a series of programs for Radio Scotland on the spread of Scottish culture worldwide. He has considered the Scottish diaspora in the American South (The Scotch South), the place of Presbyterianism in world mission (The Scottish Mission in Malawi) and is at work on a series on Freemasonry's influence in early America.
His two-part broadcast in the summer of 2006, It Wes Us, proclaimed Scottish footballers and managers as the progenitors of an artful passing game that in the late 19th century lifted association football from its dreary origin in the nonstop dribbling of English public schools. The passing form of football ("fitba," in Scots)—spread via Scottish commercial agents, engineers and religion workers—cast its influence to Sweden, Spain and Russia and across seas and continents to the United States, South America, southern Africa, Manchuria, India and Australia. Kay found a picture of Dundee whalers kicking a ball, presumably made from seal skin, on Arctic ice in 1894. These tales appear in a chapter of Kay's recent book, The Scottish World: A Journey into the Scottish Diaspora (Mainstream, 2006) (see May 8).
In an interview May 22—contained in our second podcast (below)—Kay suggests some reasons why the land with one-twelfth of England's population found itself wielding influence out of proportion to its size.
We Scots like to pride ourselves in the egalitarian nature of our society. Lots of people see that as an expression of Presbyterianism, of the national church. Some people might suggest that it's anti-individualism, because it goes for community and culture rather than the individual. Football in England developed very much as an expression of the individual in the elitist public schools … which are actually very extensive private schools. It was in those playgrounds that the game of football in England developed in places like Eton and Harrow and Rugby schools. There it was rampant individualism. There was a famous incident where one of the pioneers of the game in England [Alfred Lyttleton in 1877] is criticized for not passing the ball. He suggests that he's doing it for his own pleasure, why would he pass the ball?
If you contrast that with the "a man's a man for a' that" philosophy of Robert Burns and the egalitarianism that comes from a Presbyterian instinct, where everyone can communicate directly with his God in the Presbyterian world picture, a different ethos is definitely there. So you could see the communal spirit of Scotland coming out in the … passing game, an idea that there are no superstars. Whereas in England it was very, very different. To be unkind to my southern neighbors, you could see that some of the arrogance English people are often accused of could be revealed in their way of playing football in those early days.
Queen's Park, Glasgow, 1873. Of the Glaswegians—memorialized in his song "The Wise Old Men of Mount Florida"—the Dundonian Michael Marra sings, "When the science of football emerged from the dark / It was due in the main to the men of Queen's Park." (Mitchell Library, Glasgow Collection)
For better or worse, Scotland's footballing aspirations and accomplishments have been wedded ever since to those of England. Kay emphasizes how the annual internationals between the two sides as part of the home nations championship were, for Scotland, vitally important fixtures. This tournament ended in 1983–84, replaced by the Rous Cup, which lasted until 1989.
In the early days, heady with the scientific, short-passing innovations under way at Queen's Park, Scotland defeated England eight times in their first 12 encounters. Kay believes that early successes and fixation on beating England hampered the development of Scottish quality internationally. "That was enough" for Scotland, says Kay, "the idea that we invented the game and we constantly humiliate our neighbors playing the game. Our neighbors have got pretensions to be the originators of the game but how can they be the originators of the game if a tiny nation to the north of them keeps humiliating them? And that was enough for most Scots. As long as they beat the English, that was enough for them."
The spirit of one-upsmanship carried on through much of the 20th century. Kay recalls making a flight connection in Houston en route to the 1986 World Cup finals in Mexico. On spotting Geoff Hurst—the England international credited with one of the most contested goals in World Cup history, the "did it cross the line?" effort in extra time versus West Germany in 1966—a member of the Tartan Army remarked, "It wesnae a goal by the way, Geoff." Hurst, according to Kay, "tried to look supercilious," but was affected.
In the interview Kay also helped introduce us to the football songs of Dundee's Michael Marra, whose "The Wise Old Men of Mount Florida" is heard briefly in It Wes Us. Like Kay a Dundee United supporter, Marra pays homage in another selection on the 1991 album On Stolen Stationery to free-ranging United goalkeeper Hamish McAlpine. The 'keeper made 687 appearances for the Tangerines in more than 16 seasons, ending in '85–'86. He also scored three times and, as captured in Marra's lyrics, remains prominent in memory for exuberance in leading supporters' songs and for the period mustache.
Up at Tannadice
Watching as the fortunes rise
Smiling when he hears "Ah it's only a game,
Win lose or draw you get home to your bed
just the same"
But Hamish stokes young men's dreams into a burning flame
Whether the prospects of club or country will be affected by outgoing Scottish Football Association president John McBeth's comments before the present 57th FIFA Congress is a question we were not able to put to Kay. CONCACAF president Jack Warner seized on McBeth's controversial remarks about alleged FIFA corruption, especially in Africa and the Caribbean, to threaten the long-standing British vice-presidency and, some worried, perhaps to challenge the footballing independence of the four home nations ("McBeth's Blunder Jeopardises Historic FIFA Independence of Home Nations," The Scotsman, May 30).
In Scotland, such an outcome is unspeakable. Kay quotes from an interview with Bill Murray, a Scot, football historian at La Trobe University in Melbourne, referring to Scottish football's gradual slide into mediocrity.
[I]t's been our greatest glory, hasn't it, football has been our greatest contribution to the world, and it's a thing we've been best at, so we can lose the Empire, it doesn't mean much, but to lose our status as a football nation that is the saddest thing.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I have been waiting to try some of the Leclerc Praeventia products for a while now, especially after trying the delicious Leclerc Praeventia Dark Chocolate Chip 70% Cocoa with Red Wine Extract Cookies. The opportunity came up on a recent trip to Target, where I finally spotted a box of Leclerc Praeventia Almond & Apple Bars on sale for $2.69.
Leclerc Praeventia products are made from ingredients with well known benefits according to their website. In the case of this Almond & Apple Bar, it contains inulin, a prebiotic dietary fiber which promotes digestive health, in addition to green tea extract and dark chocolate (70% cocoa), ingredients known for their polyphenols (antioxidants) content.
Well, enough reading about the product, it was time for a taste test and I was not disappointed. Oh the bar is so delightful, but it's barely more than a few bite-fuls! Each "pouch" (as Leclerc describes their wrappers) contains 2 "bars" they say. I say, that it's really just ONE bar broken into 2 pieces, but as I mentioned, it's really tasty. Each granola-like bar is chewy and full of body, with bits of dehydrated apple and almonds that are somewhat discernible. The overall sweetness of the bar is just about perfect and the prominent dark chocolate coating on the bottom takes each bite to a new, delicious level.
Each 25 gram pouch of Leclerc Praeventia Almond & Apple Bars provides 100 calories, 4 grams of total fat (6% of the daily value), 1 gram of saturated fat (5% of the DV), 4 grams of fiber (16% of the DV), 7 grams of sugar and 2 grams of protein. If you look through our nutrition bar reviews, we describe ONE 28 gram bar as tiny - so can you imagine what 2 bars that weigh 1/2 of that each is like?!
Although these bars are small they are the most delicious 100-calorie pack that I have ever had. The short and sweet ingredient list starts off with agave nectar and goes on to list a few more different types of sweeteners.
If I can find Leclerc Praeventia Almond & Apple Bars (or Leclerc Praeventia Dark Chocolate Chip 70% Cocoa with Red Wine Extract Cookies) on sale again, I would buy this again as a not-so-bad way to satisfy my sweet tooth when it starts acting up again.

Material: Leather
Brand: 49 Square Miles
Origin: Imported
The stunning handbags, wallets, and other accessories in 49 Square Miles' collection capture the essence and spirit of San Francisco — land of freethinkers, innovators, and some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes and architecture in the U.S. Founded by veteran designer Lisa Rissetto in 2007, 49 Square Miles got its start with the Big Mouth hobo: a vegetable-dyed, slouchy bag made of buttery Italian lambskin leather and distinguished by inverted pleats. Jewelry constructed from leather and glass beads, asymmetrical knotted belts, canvas totes, and one-of-a-kind styles like the pumpkin-colored Wallflower shoulder bag will dress up a basic black dress or add the perfect finishing touch to your statement-making weekend outfit. These are accessories to inspire.
