Annabeth glanced over her shoulder and shrugged. Her hands fiddled with the beads on her necklace. "I don't know. Just needed to think I guess."

Great toon!
What an arrogant biatch. Oh and that fake "choking up" routine Bill taught her wasn't fooling anybody with more than an 8th grade education. -
So you have a seventh grade education?
During the misrule of the war criminals prep school cheerleader VietNam shirker Boy George and VietNam draft dodger Dick Cheney there were 8 attacks on US Consulates and Embassies, resulting in 31 deaths and sixty injured.
Where was the republican Javerts and their Star Chamber then?
What creative name calling. All inspired by a cartoon. The Internet has surely been a blow to civilized discourse.
I watched the senate hearing and found her answers to be reasonable. Specific points can be criticized, but overall, I felt she conducted herself well. The most important issue brought up during the questioning was the fact that 1.4 billion dollars of money already set aside has not been distributed to increase security at locations worldwide. She also claims there are 13 locations under high threat.
Any police detective, especially if having to deal with high profile cases, can tell you the hazards of releasing too much info too soon. It can give suspects warning, provide fodder for defense attorneys, and, from my own viewing experience, never truly satisfies those demanding answers. Whether reporters seeking ratings, or politicians seeking talking points for the next election, it is sometimes best, as Ms. Clinton said during her meeting, to say nothing at all.
As far as her emotional display goes… I sometimes get choked up watching a soldier come home to his children, or even a pet that has obviously missed him. I'm worse watching a parent grieving over a lost child and the funerals of soldiers, police, and firemen who died in the service of others. It is for them, and to honor their sacrifice, we owe one another the debt of respect and courtesy they would have likely given us.
note- i'm a wuss when watching "honor moments" in movies too. In Air Force One, a pilot drops back and takes a missle meant for Harrison Ford's aircraft…because I know there are men and women who will do such things, not just for a president, but for a loved one, a child, or even a stranger, it makes my chest tighten up every time I see it.
I'm such a wuss.
So has politics of this new century.
YOU LIE! Miss Clinton. But hey she is married to the greatest liar we had as President.
Lisa forgot the "…at this point" part. And Secretary Clinton is right, now, month after the fact, it does not make a difference anymore. Some people argue that there was a cover-up because of the election. Yeah, right, like the original 9/11 hurt GWB's re-election! If the Obama administration would have had hard proof and evidence they would have beaten the war-drums, Mitt Romney being a Mormon and therefor softer on terror, the military and foreign policy (see third debate and the trap he maneuvered himself into). Who got Bin Laden? Obama got Osama! A terror attack makes him stronger because the people now know that he can deliver the culprits!
There simply is no motive for a cover-up. There was no cover-up. This is just the usual stupid Washington GOP smear-machine. They are shaking in their boots at the thought of "Hillary 2016". They will try to run Colin Powell (my guess), they are always one "minority" behind. And in 2024 the Dems will run a LGBT person or Latino. Well, maybe the GOP runs Rubio or Jindal in 2016, that would be clever, but look at the 27 debates and primaries they had and that ended with the rich, old, white guy winning…
. Who got Bin Laden? Obama got Osama! A terror attack makes him stronger because the people now know that he can deliver the culprits!
Is that why they where chanting "Obama we are Osama"? at the "spontaneous" coordinated waves of attack? and why they where flying the flag of Al Qu Da? over our places? Face it Obama's a failure when it comes to terrorism and the Middle East is more of a powered keg then it ever was over on W watch after 9/11. The difference is Obama and the lame stream media will not report it. If Obama had a R by his name this would not be the case. The lame stream would be making things up on a nightly basis just like they did to W. -
That was a pathetic performance by the right wing crazies that will probably backfire and make them less popular.
I think Rand Paul figured he was going to get some good campaign footage for his already doomed 2016 run. He got beat down like the schoolyard sissy he is.
"YOU LIE! Miss Clinton. But hey she is married to the greatest liar we had as President."
Clinton lied about having oral sex with an intern. You act like his lies sent thousands of us troops to their death in some massively expensive, poorly executed, and utterly unnecessary military campaign we were still trying to get out of 10 years latter. -
Anybody that believes ANYTHING coming out of the mouth of a Clinton (or an Obama for that matter) is a fool, plain and simple.
4 Americans died at the hands of militant Muslim Jihadists.
the US consulate was inadequately "defended" in spite of months of requests for the State Dept. to bolster protection.
What difference does it make?
The administration lied, Hillary Clinton included, by blaming a video from 9/11/12 through 9/26.
Future US diplomatic sites cannot be properly protected until the true facts of who, why and how the Benghazi murders occured.
The Obama policy of "cover-up" for Muslim murderers, terrorists, organized, trained and funded, by claiming falsely that Al Qaeda has been defeated, makes every American less safe, abroad or here in the USA.
What difference does it make?
Hillary and the President get away with malfeasance in office.
Senate and House Democrats praise and reward them both. -

Why Seagate (STX) Stock Is Up Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Seagate (STX - Get Report) was gaining 2.6% to $53.28 Tuesday following a positive note from RBC Capital.
RBC analyst Amit Daryanani said a "material ramp" in high-margin enterprise drive shipments in the second half of 2014 could lead to 30 cents a share in upside to EPS estimates. Daryanani said enterprise drives have a gross margin or 40% or more, above the company's 28.5% gross margin in the firscal third quarter.
The analyst expects EPS of $7 a share in fiscal year 2016 (ending June 2016) with the help of cost controls, buybacks, and a 305 gross margin.
RBC Capital reiterated its "outperform" rating and $60 price target for Seagate.
Must read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. ------------ Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY PLC as a Buy with a ratings score of A. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY PLC (STX) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, growth in earnings per share and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The stock has not only risen over the past year, it has done so at a faster pace than the S&P 500, reflecting the earnings growth and other positive factors similar to those we have cited here. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY PLC's earnings per share improvement from the most recent quarter was slightly positive. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY PLC reported lower earnings of $4.79 versus $6.45 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($5.04 versus $4.79).
- STX, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 4.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 3.4%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Computers & Peripherals industry and the overall market, SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY PLC's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The debt-to-equity ratio of 1.33 is relatively high when compared with the industry average, suggesting a need for better debt level management. Regardless of the company's weak debt-to-equity ratio, STX has managed to keep a strong quick ratio of 1.88, which demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.

For Ambitious Students, Entrepreneurship Can Be a Big Win
CHICAGO ( MainStreet) -- Amid the commencement speeches and worries about impending student-loan payments, one topic has been a constant source of discussion during college-graduation season: the dismal job market.
This summer, like last summer and the one before, will be a tough time to head out with resume in hand. Many large corporations simply aren't hiring entry-level staff, and in other cases new grads find themselves competing against laid-off workers with more experience.
Graduating from a competitive university or business school is a great accomplishment. But leaving school with funding for the next step of your life is the ultimate graduation present. |
Ambitious young grads who'd prefer to work for themselves also are finding it hard to start businesses, given banks' tight lending standards. The difference between starting up and giving up often comes down to funding: Can a promising idea attract enough capital to turn an idea into reality?
Now would-be entrepreneurs can turn to their own universities and business schools for a leg up; business plan competitions have become increasingly popular at campuses across the country. Many of this year's winning ideas, announced over the past few weeks, got funding and expert mentoring, increasing their chance of success.
After all, if a school wants to brag about its graduates' achievements, what better way than to help get their businesses off the ground? The concept of pitting business ideas against each other started at the University of Texas at Austin, when two MBA students envisioned a business-school equivalent to the law school's "moot court" competition. UT's so-called "Moot Corp" was first held in 1984 and has grown into one of the most prestigious and competitive student contests. (It has also gotten a less quirky name: The Venture Labs Investment Competition).Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Mr. Kimble got a haircut. Whenever my babies get a haircut, they immediately look so much older! He did a really good job sitting still for his Daddy. He laughed every time a fluff of hair fell onto his belly. We went through four rolls of smarties before the haircut was finished, then he took a bath and pronounced himself "TA Da!" at the end of it. He is such a cutie. Oh, and he loves pizza!

NEVER sleep with a guy on a first date - all the women Ive ever been with, Ive never stuck with one that slept with me on the first date. Ive never been pushy for sex, but they generally were making it obvious thats what they wanted. I have to say I lost interest as there was no build up of the tension. The women who gradually let me get close them - they drove me wild! in a good way :-)
Best Answer
I make it a point to never sleep with guys on a first date. Or any date!
Best Answer
I slept with a woman on the first date. And still called back. Although, I think most women who would are easy. So, I see your point.

Where Will Radio Bounce Next?
by Skip Pizzi
on 10.22.2008
We're well aware of the resilience of radio and its ability to prove the doomsayers wrong time and again. The medium has not just weathered numerous onslaughts from other, younger competitors, but thrived and grown in the process.
This has led some to label it "the perfect medium," given its combination of ubiquity, cost-effectiveness and agility to adapt itself to a changing environment, both technically and commercially. Indeed, would-be competitors still have a high bar to jump if they wish to steal significant market share from the radio broadcasting medium.
In the past, whenever a new competitor stands up to potentially block radio's path forward, radio simply has bounced off, retaining its momentum on an altered trajectory.
Yet such competitors continue to emerge in this contact sport, so radio cannot rest.
The latest entrant is mobile multimedia, which could challenge radio's longstanding lead in the area of portability. How and in what direction will radio adjust its course to maintain velocity with this new obstacle?
Mobility rules
The new players in the mobile space are myriad.
First is wireless broadband Internet, currently rolling out via a number of mobile networks, and served by numerous platforms and devices. The two main flavors of this service are WiFi and 3G, and although the devices, coverage and service plans available to consumers vary greatly among those technologies, their bottom line within this discussion's context is the same: Users of any such service generally have access to any streaming media Web site on the Internet.
Of course, one simple approach that radio has already begun is attempting to beat these players at their own game. Many radio stations have launched their own streaming media sites, some that simply duplicate their on-air service, while others include multiple additional streams and/or on-demand content offerings. This is an important competitive strategy to continue to pursue.
Another counteracting method is the industry's attempt to put broadcast radio receivers on these new devices. This may not fare so well, given that wireless operators generally control the design of these devices, and the inclusion of radio receivers on board is not necessarily in those operators' interest. That could change as new device-openness rules and agreements come into force, but for now this strategy remains largely an uphill struggle.
Several other new options are coming to the table, however. The interactivity that some mobile devices have added for the purchase and downloading of music discovered via FM radio is a welcome trend that may be well exploited soon, to radio's ongoing benefit in this new environment. A few third parties have also targeted radio stations as part of their strategies for building mobile social networks, and radio may enjoy future fruits from such partnerships, as well.
TV goes mobile
The next competitor on the horizon is mobile television, which also comes in two flavors. One is the sort provided by mobile telecom operators, either within their 3G networks, or via a third-party broadcast delivery service such as Qualcomm's MediaFLO.
The other approach comes from the fast-moving world of ATSC-M/H (Mobile/Handheld), the DTV standard under development for mobile broadcasting by local terrestrial television stations in the United States.
The latter service could begin to be put in place soon after the analog TV shutdown, and although some of the telco-delivered services are already available, these too will likely ramp up strongly around that same time.
Although all of these services target television delivery to mobile and portable receivers, they all also include the provision to supply audio-only services. As such, they represent a considerable new threat to radio listening on the go.
Once again, it is unclear whether the receivers of any mobile television service will also contain broadcast radio tuners. Thus it may be wise for radio broadcasters to also partner with these service providers to deliver radio content via their new conduits.
Many of these services will be locally compiled, so it's conceivable that radio stations could align with the various service providers to present either discrete content elements or full-time service streams on the new delivery platforms. Getting in early will likely be advantageous, so it's not too early to begin these discussions now.
Working with fellow broadcasters on the ATSC-M/H side could be an easier negotiation and a better fit for radio stations, but some popular radio services also might find themselves a spot within a suite of telco-operated mobile multimedia services, in their home markets or elsewhere.
Given these developments and their relatively fast pace of progress, it makes sense for local radio broadcasters to become familiar with these technologies (if they aren't already) and stay abreast of the latest details as they emerge.
Note also that beyond simply arranging for carriage on these new services, radio producers also may need to create new content targeted to the specific platforms involved.
Radio has always had great strengths in the mobile and portable environments. It may need this next nudge to remain alive in the competitive pinball machine that digital media has become.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- The Saints played the second place Trolls of Trinity Christian College tough on Saturday afternoon at Ganger Field in their eighth Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) match of the season. Holy Cross trailed 1-0 for the majority of the game until Trinity Christian added two goals in the final five minutes en route to a 3-0 victory over the Saints. With the loss, the Saints fall to 3-11 overall and 0-8 in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference.
Although the stats will show a major offensive discrepancy in favor of the Trolls, the Saints played an all-around tough game.
Cassidy Bosselaar scored the first goal of the game after Rachael Webb slipped a pass into the box to give the Trolls a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute. Following the goal, the Saints did a very good job of making things difficult for Trinity Christian.
Senior goalkeeper Aileen Clouse (Beavercreek, Ohio) kept the Saints in the game. She finished the first half with 10 saves.
In the second half, Haleigh Vander Vinne (Chesterton, Ind.) gave the Saints their best chance of the day when she hit a shot from 20-yards out that just sailed over the bar.
The Trolls continued to get chances in the second half, finishing with 19 shots.
The score stayed locked at 1-0 for 85 minutes before Rachael Webb netted two goals (86', 89') to extend the Trolls lead to 3-0.
Holy Cross finished the second half with just one shot, giving them a game total of 3, as Trinity Christian defeated the Saints 3-0.
Aileen Clouse finished the game in goal with 15 saves.
The Saints will hit the road on Tuesday, October 29 with a 4:00 p.m. meeting against 13th ranked Judson.
They will return home on Saturday, November 2 with a noon start against Purdue Calumet for senior day where Lindsey Swaim (Elkhart, Ind.), Kayla Vanlue (Plymouth, Ind.), Aileen Clouse (Beavercreek, Ohio), Taylor Paoulos (Buffalo Grove, Ill.) and Sonia Bonilla (Chicago, Ill.) will be honored.

I am always being told off by i-technologists for quoting Picasso as having said that computers are useless. But I still love his reasoning? "Because they can only give you answers."
Picasso, like AJAXWorld Magazine, liked questions. So we thought we would share with you what some of the world's leading rich Internet application pioneers are thinking may be the next questions that we need to see answered. From that readers can themselves infer where AJAX is headed.
What are the top questions to ask next about AJAX?
Eric Miraglia of Yahoo!
1. (From March'08) How do I calculate the ROI of building my RIA on the iPhone SDK vs using AJAX?
2. How do I assess the performance of my app and decide what to do next to make it faster?
3. When it comes to accessibility, how do I know what's required of me for my rich web apps? Beyond what's required, what makes good business sense?
4. What are the ten most important steps I can take to make sure my rich internet app is secure? What tools are available to help me diagnose whether it's secure?
5. For all the press that they get, are mashups really contributing to the experience of the web?
Douglas Crockford, creator of JSON
I just have one question I'd like answered: How are we to fix the web? AJAX exploits all of the remaining capability of the 1999 browser standards, which were not state of the art even then. Where do we go from here? Will open standards fall to technologically superior proprietary systems?
Coach Wei, founder and CTO of Nexaweb
1. What are people mostly using AJAX for? Enhancing existing website, building a new website, building an application, replacing an old client/server application, etc?
3. Are you using mashup or do you plan to do some mashup, for which kind of project?
4. Which tools (IDE) do people using for AJAX development?
5. Do you still develop web 1.0 style applications, and why?
See next page for predictions from: Google's Christian Schalk, JackBe's John Crupi, Josh Gertzen of the ThinWire AJAX Framework, Kevin Hakman of TIBCO GI, and Andre Charland of Nitobi.

Other questions like: [1] ambiguity in AJAX toolkits, can I match them? how an aspect in Toolkit A can influence toolkit B? The namespaced Web apps becomes now important. It's the same that happened in Browser space, they were different, then become a bit shared, the AJAX toolkits work also may reach a convergence state as we have offline/online caching infra-structure with namespaced events - sandboxed apps in the same page but running each in a given scope. I think the next stage promises good things for us and the current stage is a mess with good value under it. The exploration of the mashup stack and mashup infra for interoperability is an area to massage. |

Development managers need to ask themselves at least these two questions before adopting AJAX on a project. First, will you make up for the time invested in adopting a new technology through increased development speed? And second, will AJAX allow you to offer a more useful application to your users? |

It's my party and I'll die if I want to

A rare case of retro at its prime
Not long for this world
Simplified to the point of emptiness
We're pretty sure they actually meant 'Dragon Bland'
Gets the sword swinging right and almost everything else wrong
Time to fetch the eraser

In better shape than Wii Fit?
Quite literally a load of rubbish

Haliburton farmers markets / local fish
- g

Hi there
are there any farmers markets in the haliburton area or fish shops selling local lake fish? Will be staying in the Gooderham area north of bancroft east of norland / kinmount. I remember seeing signs for something south of Kinmount once maybe on hwy 121?
any great food shopping suggestions appreciated - would love to support the local economy!
http://www.harmonyfarm.ca/ - I've never been there but met the owners once and they seem to know what they're doing...
re: gallopinggourmet
I didn't used to. Apparently it was more of a weekend farm stand / bakery / etc... with some classes on the side... I hadn't been to the site in a while... Maybe during the summer, they're still doing more 'pick up and take out' stuff...?
Until last year, I used to buy rainbow trout at the Peterborough Farmer's Market that was farmed at the Kinmount Fish Farm (Crystal Lake Rd). It was absolutely fantastic, much better than any other farmed trout I've had. Unfortunately, because of the harsh winter we had, I heard that the fish farmer was quitting or cutting back on the number of ponds he grows fish in. However, it would be worth checking out if you are in the area to see if you can still buy fish at the door. Otherwise, there is very little commercial fishing of wild fish in Ontario lakes other than in the largest bodies of water.

There is a new fish market in North Bay, operated by First Nation residents. There was an article about it in the North Bay newspaper, online. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/535381
Further south, you could talk to First Nation residents, some of whom can sell local fish, with a longer season than sportfishing.0

Are the Patriots better now than they were at the start of free agency? As the first wave of this portion of the team-building comes to a close, they've certainly shown improvement -- particularly when it comes to their secondary -- but at the same time, it's important to remember that the process of crafting the final 2014 roster is far from finished.
First, on defense: It's undeniable that New England has taken a sizable step forward at the cornerback position, acquiring one of the best in the game in Darrelle Revis. The pickup of Revis will allow New England to deploy its defensive backs to its advantage, with Kyle Arrington continuing to work in the slot, Devin McCourty playing centerfield as the free safety and the rest of the younger defensive backs filling in around them.
But it's more than just that -- in Revis, the Patriots have acquired a player who still commands respect across the league as one of the best in the game at his position. Even after spending the bulk of the 2012 season on the shelf because of a knee injury and spending 2013 in football purgatory with a listless Tampa Bay team, the 28-year-old now gets a chance to jumpstart the second half of his football career.
"He's one of the guys I studied -- across the league, there are a few guys I like to watch on film," newcomer Brandon Browner said of Revis. "To be able to play with that guy, it will be fun. He's actually the only guy I asked to trade and exchanged a jersey with. That's the kind of respect that guy's gained. I just look forward to playing and playing alongside him and the rest of those guys up in New England."
The wild card in all of this is could be Browner. He was magnificent in 2011, but had issues the last two seasons with injury and suspensions -- he's only played 20 games combined in 2012 and 2013. The 2014 season will open with him on the sidelines because of a four-game ban for PED violations, which means Alfonzo Dennard will presumably handle the bulk of the duties opposite Revis in the early going.
On Monday, Browner spoke optimistically of a fresh start with the Patriots, and if he can get up to speed and be taking significant snaps by November -- and regain some of the form he flashed in 2011 -- then it represents a sizable win for New England.
Bottom line? The addition of Revis and Browner represent an upgrade. And if last year's rookies continue to evolve and grow, it's reasonable to assume they will play a major role going forward. Those two elements in and of themselves represent a win for New England.
"I know we've got Brandon [Browner], I know we've got [Devin] McCourty and Logan Ryan," Revis said of the New England secondary. "We've got some great talent back there."
"From what I understand, they're going to have us matching up with guys. Our strongest suit is man-to-man, my strongest suit is man-to-man," Browner said. "Our main thing up in Seattle is to compete. That's what we did, day-in and day-out. I think if we come with that mentality with that group of guys I'll be playing with in New England, it'll be beneficial to what we're trying to get accomplished over the season."
The Patriots did take a hit in the middle of the defense, as their linebacker depth is likely worse now than it was at the start of free agency. Brandon Spikes probably isn't the three-down linebacker he thinks he is, but was as stout as anyone in the league against the run. He's left for Buffalo, while Dane Fletcher provided depth and special teams value, but is now in Tampa Bay. Look for the Patriots to make at least one addition at middle/inside linebacker in hopes of adding depth at the spot either in the second wave of free agency (Wesley Woodyard would have been a phenomenal fit) or in the middle to late rounds of the draft.
The one area on defense where it's really debatable is up front, and much of that depends on the status of Vince Wilfork. If the Patriots do decide to cut ties with the veteran -- he's requested his release -- then that would create a void in the middle, one that would either have to be filled with the variety of players currently on the roster or a relatively inexpensive free agent. There's always the draft, and from his viewpoint, it's a good year to be in the market for a versatile young defensive lineman. Aaron Donald, Ra'Shede Hageman and Louis Nix III have all distinguished themselves throughout the pre-draft process as possible fits for the Patriots if New England is interested in going after a defensive lineman with the 29th overall selection.
On offense, the addition of receiver Brandon LaFell -- as well as the return of Julian Edelman -- represents an upgrade in the passing game. If he becomes acclimated to the passing game rapidly, there's every reason to think LaFell is capable of serving as a change up presence in the New England offense, a longer, leaner target (6-foot-2) than many of the other receivers on the roster.
"Edelman caught 100-plus balls last year, and you don't do that by being average. You do that by having a lot of challenge and being a good player and working," LaFell said. "And [Danny] Amendola [is] a guy that when he's healthy, he's pretty good. I thought about that. That played a lot in my decision. I wanted to come be around a group of guys that put in work and that are just as good as me."
After an offseason that saw the Patriots lose four of their top five pass catchers, it's worth noting that as it stands right now, they have their top 10 pass catchers from 2013 all under contract for 2014.
"You obviously know Revis, how great of a player he is. Then Browner, how he's had a lot of success over there on the West Coast," Edelman said. "LaFell, having another receiver to have for Tommy … I mean, all these guys, it's pretty good to have that. It's just going got make camp and OTA's a lot more competitive. It's going to make us better."
There's a lot of team-building left -- assembling the final 2014 roster will also involve the draft, combing the waiver wire and keeping an eye out for camp cuts. In truth, there's a lot of time left between now and the start of the season. But given the construction that's taken place to this point, the foundation certainly looks to be a good one.
