It's a little too close to consider any significant changes to a training plan but there are still lots of things to consider for those taking on the marathon or the half marathon. I'm certainly no expert on the training portion of marathon preparation but I am experienced in completing marathons. I've run 72 races at the marathon distance, 8 half marathons, 2 ultra-relays and one ultramarathon. The most recent was in Dubai, U.A.E. on Jan. 22nd which was my second marathon that week. I'd run the Rock 'N Roll Arizona marathon 5 days previous to the race in Dubai.
I ran my first marathon in New Orleans in 2005 and despite the pain and suffering during and after I was hooked! I thought I'd post a few thoughts on here as the race approaches in hopes of helping others having a positive experience, especially for first time marathoners.
The first topic I'm going to address is friction. Friction is your friend when it comes to your shoes meeting the pavement but after that it's not a whole lot of fun in a marathon!
If you fail to take appropriate precautions you'll find yourself chafed, sore and possibly bleeding in places you've never imagined! The first tip to prevent this regards your choice of clothing. It's a good idea to make sure that you've tried out your shirt or singlet, shorts and socks in one of your long runs before you wear it in a marathon. That shirt that looked great on the rack in the store might have a pressure point that'll drive you nuts after 20 miles!
If you know you have body parts that tend to rub together like thighs or arms against lats liberal use of a product like vaseline, Body Glide or SportSlik is well advised. You want to reduce the coefficient of friction of skin on skin. I bet you never expected to consider this aspect physics in your marathon!
The next area of potential chafing is one I didn't consider in my first marathon and paid the price for it. If you watch marathon finishers, particularly males, you'll notice bloodstains down the shirts of many runners. Nipple chafing is extremely painful and when sweat contacts the bleeding wounds it's excruciating! There's a simple solution to this and that's by using NipGuards or similar products. These are small circular bandage that protects this very vulnerable body part!
The last thing to consider regarding friction and chafing is any accessories you might want to wear or carry during the race. That goofy hat, string of Mardi Gras beads or lucky charm might look great in pre-race photos but remember that you'll be carrying them for 26.2 miles! You'll have those rubbing, bouncing and annoying you 3 to 5 hours or more! If you have to wear them be prepared to pay the price!
I'm going to try to post regularly leading up to the race to try and help other runners avoid the mistakes I've made in the 80+ long races I've run in the past 5 years!

I needed brake parts for a 2001 Volvo XC. PartsGeek had everything I needed and every part was well identified with detailed descriptions(something the local autoparts store couldn't do) so I got the right parts for the right price and got them extremely fast. Thank you PartsGeek.
I have ordered parts 2 times with PartsGeek.com. Both times I have received my order on time and in full. So far they have a decent selection of OEM style parts for my VW and the prices are better ...

Fantastic shot. Really draws you in. I agree with seraph. i would of been with how it's lit. Would of been nice if you'd have kept her elbows in as it looks like a mistake rather than intentional -
Victor Harris
I agree with Seraph about the unconventional positioning but the lighting works well and the quality is high. Would be really interested to understand Phoebe's comment is referring to? -

Professionally crafted, absolutely gorgeous. 5 Stars! Ariel...(Maybe leaving more space on the right side would make that a "6" stars shot)....:)

If it's 7:30 AM and the only people awake are you and Ned Yost — having a cup coffee and looking deep in thought about 20 feet from me — it must be the Winter Meetings.
I'm in Dallas this week, reporting, more or less, live, more or less, from the 2011 Winter Meetings. Things got started off with a bang last night with Jose Reyes signing with the Marlins. It's going to be hard to top that unless the deal involves a fellow named Pujols, but if we learned anything last year it's that you can expect the unexpected. Although I don't think it's possible for anyone to give ridiculous money to Jayson Werth again, so maybe not that unexpected.
As we have the past couple of years, we'll be posting like crazy, so tune it to HBT and rip off the dial. Well, as long as you can still refresh. If your dial does that, don't rip it off.
I'm going to go get into trouble and/or talk cordially with baseball people. Back with dish shortly.

I thought that they rested their beer cans on Calcaterra's head to free up both hands to grip his ears as handholds.

There's bozo, confirming his gutter pedigree – and not even the Donald ever even challenged him on it.

When you've seen as many of those stupid things skwished on the turnpike as I have – I used to keep my kids busy on the drive up to Disney World by having them count DOR armadillos – they kinda loose their cachet. In fact, after you get a fix on the extent of the mass vehicular immolation of 'dillies all over Florida, you begin to wonder how any creature so relentlessly stupid – if the native American myth of the animal master has any truth to it, spiritual or otherwise, it's a spirit familiar that just can't take a fucking hint – isn't already extinct.
- kiwicricket - Dec 5, 2011 at 11:58 AM
I feel you are being unnecessarily harsh on this armored rat like creature. Panda's eat only one thing(which happens to be of no nutritional value)and have sex roughly .3 times per year. Yet are in utter decline because of 'outside influences'. Call Panda's stupid too, or I will be forced to argue for the Rat with skin disease.
- Old Gator - Dec 5, 2011 at 12:14 PM
You mean leprosy, right? Imagine anything so stupid that it kept knocking at the door of the otherwise exclusive leprosy club for thousands of years of evolutionary inertia snorting to be admitted. What did a panda ever do that was as stupid as that?
Incidentally, I have more than enough trouble with pandas. I have a few lovely stands of bamboo outside around my Japanese garden and every spring I have to spray it because of those miserable hyperpineal raccoons. It always starts the same way: the leaves begin coming loose and blowing into my swimming pool. A magnifying glass quickly reveals little tiny black and white fuzzy things in clusters around the stems of the leaves. Spray, spray, spray – you have to spray every time it rains, of course, and the late spring is monsoon season in Macondo. If you don't, the damn things grow to three or four hundred pounds and get stuck in your pool drain. Ever try to haul a soggy panda carcass out of our filter line return?
Didn't think so.

You are addressing one of the lesser known icons of Texas. Yes, it is one of the odder evolutionary ideas to come out of the Cenozoic, and yes it is a Mexican invader, but the 'dillo thrives down here.
Our roads just wouldn't be complete without a littering of armadillo corpses.
Little known fact: There was a strong counter-culture push at the University of Texas in the early '70's to change mascots to the armadillo.

Nintendo's upcoming Wind Waker HD redux for the Wii U is getting a harder difficulty mode available from the start, according to news coming out of Gamescom. In addition to playing the game on normal difficulty – pretty much the same as playing the original GameCube classic – players will have the option to select a new "Hero" mode where you won't find any recovery hearts hiding in shrubbery.
Hero Mode's enemies also hit twice as hard, so you'll have to play with a little less gutless frenzy (a little) and a little more strategy (and probable defense). So not quite Dark Souls, maybe, but hopefully something with a little more oomph for fans that feel Nintendo games have a rep for being too easy – even at their most difficult points.
Sounds like a good move to me. Wind Waker HD hits Wii U digitally and, surprisingly, as a boxed release in October.

The government has decided to open 27 forest stations in the State, Forest Minister Benoy Viswom has said.
Replying to questions in the Assembly on Tuesday, Mr. Viswom said 12 stations would be opened soon, The Minister said the 613 vacancies of forest guards would be filled soon.
Service rules
The basic qualification of forest guards would be made Plus Two. Their service rules and subordinate service rules would be amended. Mobile phones would be given to the guards, he said.
The total forest cover in the State had been estimated at 10,308.63 sq.km. The increase in 7,000 acres was mainly in the reserve forests. There was no proposal to set up new forest divisions. The Japanese International Cooperation Academy had offered help to set up a forest academy at Arippa.

Hi, I am building a new site at [frictionmultimedia.com](http://frictionmultimedia.com "frictionmultimedia.com") and I am using the masonry script for the first time.
It works fine in Firefox and IE but in chrome all the boxes overlap and I cannot work out why. Can anyone give any suggestions?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks, Matt
Are you making sure to use the imagesLoaded plugin?
> It works fine in Firefox and IE but in chrome all the boxes overlap and I cannot work out why
I'm not very experienced, so my answer may not be very polished or even accurate but I hope my post helps.
I came across similar problems while using masonry, and it appears(I may be wrong) that the only way one can make them work is to not specify any width to the masonry container – let it remain the full 100% width. This should apply even to any parent container – none of them should have any fixed widths or heights (only the masonry blocks can have them). That seemed to fix the problem.
I did that on the browser and it did fix the layout somewhat. Not just that, the boxes even rearrange themselves when the browser is re-sized (with some fancy animated transitions). That is one way to check whether the plugin is working.
Edit : A few other things – it appears that you have used an id twice – an id should not be used twice. The above method that I mentioned fixes the masonry part, but you'll have to work on the header. You haven't cleared the float of the image properly.
Thanks for the help guys, It is all fixed now, for anyone with the same problem go to https://github.com/desandro/masonry/issues/362
Cheers, Matt
Even if fixed now I don't like that Masonry has to calculate all the layout, I'd rather be the one in charge with CSS, that's why I use Salvattore. It uses a trick to use CSS as a syntax to set how the layout should work, even with media queries!

It's easy to envision Marqise Lee playing on Sundays at MetLife Stadium.
It's easy to forget the electric USC wide receiver is only one game into his sophomore season.
For every phenomenal on-field feat that leaves opponents grasping and fans gasping, Lee offers a reminder that he's still trying to figure this thing out.
Lee's education continues Saturday at the home of the NFL's Giants and Jets in East Rutherford, N.J., where USC faces Syracuse. He comes into the game on an unprecedented streak.
In his past three games dating to last season, Lee has 608 receiving yards – the most in a three-game stretch in USC history. He seems to be living up to Coach Lane Kiffin's November 2011 proclamation that Lee could become "the best receiver to ever play here."
That isn't an easy burden to bear. Does Kiffin's statement make Lee feel any pressure to perform?
"It's super pressure," he said this week. "It's crazy. To hear your coach say something like that, it's amazing. But then again, it's a thing to where it motivates me. That's what it makes you feel. And I've got a lot of feeling to do."
Kiffin wouldn't have said what he did if he didn't think Lee could handle it. He's among the hardest workers on the team and also one of its most charismatic figures. Lee is positively playful on the practice field, squealing and screeching like a kid running through a sprinkler on a hot summer day. His high-pitched voice brings to mind another great football player – the late Walter Payton, a.k.a. "Sweetness."
Lee's daily demeanor makes some recent sour moments seem surprising – until you remember that he not only is learning how to be a better receiver but a better teammate as well.
The first incident took place during a training-camp scrimmage last month at the Coliseum. Walk-on cornerback Ryan Dillard grabbed Lee's jersey as he was running a pass pattern. Lee responded with a shove to Dillard's facemask. Kiffin benched Lee for the rest of the scrimmage. But before Kiffin could address the situation with him directly, Lee decided to address the team in the post-scrimmage huddle. He apologized and said it never would happen again.
"Sometimes you talk to a kid, and he says something," Kiffin said at the time. "He took it upon himself."
Sometimes Lee's competitive spirit gets the best of him. He is among 10 or so players Kiffin recently cited for "how much they love to practice." When two hyper-competitive players clash, the result can be explosive.
In last week's opener against Hawaii, quarterback Matt Barkley threw a slightly low pass that Lee couldn't handle. As he got up off the ground, Lee gestured to Barkley to throw the ball higher. FOX analyst Charles Davis chastised Lee for showing up his quarterback, and assistant coaches Kennedy Polamalu and Tee Martin had some words for Lee on the sideline.
Three days later, Lee again owned up to his mistake.
"I never intended it to be disrespectful," he said. "But I guess I'll just keep it to myself. Either way, I should have caught the ball.
"Matt and I went over to the side and talked about it. Matt said, 'I should have gotten it up,' and I said, 'No, I should've caught it regardless. I always catch it in practice, so there's no reason I can't catch it in the game.' He said, 'OK' and we moved on."
Later in the game, Lee ran an incorrect route. Barkley ended up getting hit on the play and blistered Lee immediately afterward. Their spat didn't last long.

Amoeba: a distributed operating system for the 1990s
Mullender, Sape J. and Rossum, Guido van and Tanenbaum, Andrew S. and Renesse, Robbert van and Staveren, Hans van (1990) Amoeba: a distributed operating system for the 1990s. Computer, 23 (5). pp. 44-53. ISSN 0018-9162
Abstract: | A description is given of the Amoeba distributed operating system, which appears to users as a centralized system but has the speed, fault tolerance, security safeguards, and flexibility required for the 1990s. The Amoeba software is based on objects. Objects are managed by server processes and named using capabilities chosen randomly from a sparse name space. Amoeba has a unique, fast file system split into two parts: the bullet service stores immutable files contiguously on the disk; the directory service gives capabilities symbolic names and handles replication and atomicity, eliminating the need for a separate transaction management system. To bridge the gap with existing systems, Amoeba has a Unix emulation facility consisting of a library of Unix system call routines that make calls to the various Amoeba server processes. |

The number two long-distance provider reported earnings this morning, with its Internet and data divisions leading the way. The company indicated it may spin off its voice division, which would mean a major change of direction for the company.
Overall, WorldCom reported a 53% increase in earnings per share (EPS) over last year's second quarter, to $0.46, meeting consensus earnings estimates. Including a $55 million charge related to the company's foiled acquisition of Sprint (NYSE: FON), earnings were at $0.44 per share. Revenues were up 14% from the year-earlier period, to $10.2 billion. The stock traded down this morning in response to the company's indications that revenue growth would slow in the second half.
Data and the Internet Lead the Way
One interesting, less-positive note came on the company's conference call: Apparently, America Online (NYSE: AOL) subscribers spent less time on the Web in the second quarter, which they connect to over WorldCom's network, and so revenues from AOL's business declined sequentially.
The company's data division increased revenues by 25%, also thanks largely to greater demand from corporate customers. WorldCom's data business consists of private internal networks and other data transmission services for large corporations. Traffic on the company's data networks was up 98% from the previous year.
What's WorldCom's Next Move?
The Wall Street Journal reported late last month that WorldCom management views consumer phone service, without a wireless component, as a commodity. Most of its competitors, such as AT&T (NYSE: T), are bundling consumer services ranging from wireless to phone to cable. In the not-too-distant future, consumer long distance may end up being offered for free as part of such a package.
WorldCom could continue searching for a wireless company to acquire, and attempt to build up its consumer services. Or, perhaps more likely, the company could unload its consumer voice businesses -- maybe even to Deutsche Telekom (NYSE: DT), as the Journal article mentioned -- and refocus itself on its fast-growing business services. Either way, the company will be an interesting one to watch.
Your Turn:
Suggested Links:
Perhaps not too surprising for a company that owns almost half of the world's Internet infrastructure, revenues from WorldCom's Internet division increased 40%, due to increased corporate use. WorldCom's customers spent 1.6 billion hours connected to the company's dial-up Internet service in the second quarter, a 62% increase over the year-ago figure.
The company's announcement that it is "exploring opportunities" to spin off or issue a tracking stock for its voice division raises plenty of questions about WorldCom's future. One telecom service that the company does not provide is wireless, and rectifying that was clearly was one of the primary goals of the company's attempted merger with Sprint. Since that merger is now off the table, there are plenty of strategic questions facing the company.
What do you think WorldCom's next move should be? Let us know on the WorldCom discussion board.

if it goes off during play/players on the field. then its a near sure bet that its real. if not? its entertainment. our jumbo tron is ******* huge. there is no reason for people to get confused. but i can see why Iowa state is taking interest. they dont want to end up with some bs and end up getting sued.

I think it would be alright if they cut the sirens out during the game when they play it after touchdowns, but I think they should at least keep the pregame stuff.
the moron that mistakes the TD siren and entrance theme for an actual weather alert deserves to spend the afternoon in their fallout shelter anyway.
The first link is a tornado siren that is in Ames. The second one is the 2012 intro video. The intro video does have a siren that sounds pretty similar to the Ames tornado sirens. The video also has the Emergency Broadcast System alert tones, which sound nothing like the tornado sirens (it's what they play on the radio every so ofte). http://www.civildefensemuseum.com/sirens/soundsvids/2t22.mp3 2012 Iowa State Football Intro Video - YouTube
You can spend a lot of time and money picking out the perfect floral bouquet for your date ... but you're probably better off checking if you have bad breath and taking the porn out of the glove compartment. The moral: you gain more by not being stupid, than you do by being smart. Smart gets neutralized by other smart people. Stupid does not.
Back to the submarine horn for one game?
Let my Fred's Posse Ride: Georges, 3sus, Hallice, Deonte, Dustin, Abdel, Monte, Matt, and McKaT.
In order to limit any local residents from wrongly identifying the video as an actual Tornado Warning, the Iowa State Athletic Department announced today that in lieu of the football team's entrance video, Alumni Association president Jeff Johnson will return to the field to lead the fans attending the game in several ISU cheers. Is the really needed?

Dec 11 (Reuters) - Private equity firm Centerbridge Partners LP has reached a tentative deal to buy bankrupt telecommunications firm LightSquared Inc for $3.3 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, quoting people familiar with the matter.
LightSquared, backed by hedge fund manager Philip Falcone, has been in bankruptcy since 2012 and is fighting to keep control of its valuable spectrum amid a takeover push by Dish Network Corp.
Reuters could not reach Centerbridge or LightSquared for comment outside regular business hours.
Three creditor groups have proposed plans that contemplate an auction for the assets, and Dish has already made a baseline bid of $2.2 billion.
Centerbridge has offered to pay about $3.3 billion for LightSquared and assume about $1.7 billion in various liabilities, the Journal quoted the people as saying. (WSJ story:)
A filing on LightSquared's bankruptcy docket on Wednesday evening showed that the company did not hold the auction for its assets scheduled for Wednesday and that LightSquared was pursuing an alternative transaction.
Fortress Investment Group LLC, earlier a LightSquared investor, also planned to make an offer for the bankrupt company, but withdrew the bid on Wednesday, the WSJ sources said.
It now backs Centerbridge's plan and with JPMorgan Chase & Co and Falcone's hedge fund Harbinger Capital Partners, will likely be a minority investor alongside Centerbridge in the deal, the daily reported.

Not surfable - This wave never breaks, only during strong swells, preferably hurricane swells. This beach has no waves, it's totally flat. It's a scuba and snorkeling location. The problem with this break is that is located at the lagoon entrance. You can see it from the boat to your right when you are arriving the spot. It has virtualy no bottom because the coral reef goes down in a vertical wall right to the bottom of the ocean just after the corner, entering the lagoon. When you are snorkelign you can see the wall vanishing in the depth till you can't see the bottom anymore, just deep blue. And the shallow part of the reef just before the entrance corner is too way shallow, so shallow that the top spikes of the coral are actually out of the water and birds put nests there.
Of course when a huge swell makes it here the waves break when they hit the shallow reef, but there's no way to surf over it, and if you'd make it safe and pass the reef and make it to the corner where the lefty starts, the wave vanishes cuz the bottom goes away. No bottom. From 0 mts depth to 50 mts in no second. So the ride is over. That's why none has surfed it yet. Of course it looks impressive when you see those huge waves hitting the reef, but it's not surfable. Plus boats can't make it there when the swells are pumping. You'd have to stay in a tent for a couple of days before the swell hits, so you are already there when it starts pumping. And if something happens to you, there's no help. You are alone. No roads or ways to make it to a hospital fast.
Better spots are just 300mts before la cienaga, like Maya beach, to the left. Long beach with coral reefs and super hollow waves.
Just enjoy the corals and do some snorkeling or scuba ;)

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) Ten U.S. Baptists detained trying to take 33 children out of earthquake-shattered Haiti without government permission say they were just trying to do the right thing, applying Christian principles to save Haitian children.
But their Orphan Rescue Mission is striking nerves in a country that has long suffered from child trafficking and foreign interventions, and where much of the aid is delivered in ways that challenge Haiti's own rich religious traditions.
Prime Minister Max Bellerive on Sunday told The Associated Press that the group was arrested and is under judicial investigation because it is illegal trafficking of children and we won't accept that.
The Americans are the first people to be arrested since the Jan 12 quake on such suspicions. No charges have been filed.
The government and established child welfare agencies are trying to slow Haitian adoptions amid fears that parentless or lost children are more vulnerable than ever to being seized and sold. Without proper documents and concerted efforts to track down their parents, they could be forever separated from family members able and willing to care for them.
Social Affairs Minister Yves Cristallin told The Associated Press that the Americans were suspected of taking part in an illegal adoption scheme.
The orphanage where the children were later taken said some of the kids have living parents, who were apparently told the children were going on a holiday from the post-quake misery.
The church group's own mission statement said it planned to spend only hours in the devastated capital, quickly identifying children without immediate families and busing them to a rented hotel in the Dominican Republic without bothering to get permission from the Haitian government.
Whatever their intentions, other child welfare organizations in Haiti said the plan was foolish at best.
The instinct to swoop in and rescue children may be a natural impulse but it cannot be the solution for the tens of thousands of children left vulnerable by the Haiti earthquake, said Deb Barry, a protection expert at Save the Children, which wants a moratorium on new adoptions. The possibility of a child being scooped up and mistakenly labeled an orphan in the chaotic aftermath of the disaster is incredibly high.
The church members, most from Idaho, said they were only trying to rescue abandoned and traumatized children.
In this chaos the government is in right now, we were just trying to do the right thing, the group's spokeswoman, Laura Silsby, told the AP from inside Haiti's judicial police headquarters, where she and others were being held until a Monday hearing.
Officials said they lacked the proper documents for the children, whose names were written on pink tape on their shirts.
The children, ages 2 months to 12 years old, were taken to an orphanage run by Austrian-based SOS Children's Villages, where spokesman George Willeit said they arrived very hungry, very thirsty, some dehydrated.
One (8-year-old) girl was crying, and saying, 'I am not an orphan. I still have my parents.' And she thought she was going on a summer camp or a boarding school or something like that, Willeit said.
The orphanage was working Sunday to reunite the children with their families, joining a concerted effort by the Haitian government, the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross and other NGOs.
In Idaho, the Rev. Clint Henry denied that his Central Valley Baptist Church had anything to do with child trafficking.
He urged his tearful congregation to pray to God to help them as they seek to resist the accusations of Satan and the lies that he would want them to believe and the fears that he would want to plant into their heart.
As the poorest country in the western hemisphere, Haiti is in a difficult spot it needs aid, but deeply resents foreign meddling. Many have an uneasy relationship with American evangelical Christian groups that funnel hundreds of millions of dollars into their missions in Haiti.
Since Haiti became the world's first black republic in 1804, its people have seen several U.S. military occupations, was wrongly blamed for the spread of AIDS and has been vilified for the Voodoo traditions brought from West Africa. Voodoo is one of Haiti's two constitutionally recognized religions, along with Roman Catholicism, and two-thirds of Haiti's 9 million people are said to worship its spirits.
One Voodoo leader said the Idaho group's plan to give each child new life in Christ while facilitating their adoptions by loving Christian families in the United States is deeply offensive.
There are many who come here with religious ideas that belong more in the time of the inquisition, said Max Beauvoir, head of Haiti's Voodoo Priest's Association, which represents thousands of priests and priestesses. These types of people believe they need to save our souls and our bodies from ourselves. We need compassion, not proselytizing now, and we need aid not just aid going to people of the Christian faith.
Many religious groups run legitimate adoption agencies and orphanages in Haiti. Some of the children in them aren't actually orphans, but have been left by relatives who can't afford their care.
At the same time, bogus adoption agencies also prey on families in Haiti, offering children to rich Haitians and foreigners in return for processing fees reaching $10,000, according to the intergovernmental International Organization for Migration.
Restoring families inside Haiti is a goal of leading aid agencies and the Haitian government. Bellerive's personal authorization is now required for the departure of any child.
Silsby told the AP that she hadn't been following news reports while in Haiti, and didn't think she needed Haitian permission to take them out of the country. She said they only had the best of intentions and paid no money for the children, who she said were brought to a Haitian pastor by their distant relatives.
Child trafficking is exactly what we are trying to combat, Silsby said.
The 10 detained Americans include members of the Central Valley Baptist Church in Meridian, Idaho, and the East Side Baptist Church in Twin Falls, Idaho. They are part of the Southern Baptist Convention, which is America's largest Protestant denomination and has extensive humanitarian programs worldwide.
It is becoming more common for individual Southern Baptist congregations to run their own mission programs, ranging from sending doctors overseas for short-term trips to undertaking evangelism work.
The Idaho churches had elaborate plans before the earthquake to provide a loving Christian homelike environment for up to 200 Haitian and Dominican boys and girls in the Magante beach resort, complete with a school and chapel as well as villas and a seaside cafe catering to adoptive U.S. parents.
One of the reasons that our church wanted to help is because we believe that Christ has asked us to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the whole world, and that includes children, Henry, the senior pastor, said.
The 500-member church, where signs taped to large bins outside the pastors' offices read Donations for Haiti, gave several thousand dollars to the mission, Henry said.
When the quake hit, they decided to move faster. Silsby, who runs an online shopping site in Idaho, quickly put their plan on Web site, soliciting tax-deductible donations while preparing their trip. Given the urgent needs from this earthquake, God has laid upon our hearts the need to go now, versus waiting until the permanent facility is built, the group wrote.

Product Description
This extremely slender and feminine skull was believed to be a female skull by three separate skull experts until a visiting Forensic Anthropologist stopped by the shop and determined it is actually most likely male. The skull features the small cheekbones, slender jawline, and high vaulted cranium most associated with females, however barely noticeable ridges on the ramus of the jaw as well as unusually large brow and occipital bun for a female indicate this is a male skull, although even fleshed out the person would have had very slender and feminine features. The pointed and projecting nasal vault, narrow nasal base, brow line, and occipital bun clearly indicate Ashley is a Caucasian. However the angle of the upper jaw from the face indicates a small degree of Asian or African derived features. Dental remains indicate Ashley was middle aged.
After the analysis of the forensic anthropologist we checked again with the source of the original specimen, who confirmed it was a female Caucasian. She was a 66 year old Caucasian female that died
from ovarian cancer. She donated her body to science. They receive the severed head with medical documentation confirming age, sex and cause of death. They receive
the head intact meaning it was still a complete head with nothing removed. They have to remove/skin the human head in order to prepare.
Ashley is a highly detailed lifecasting of the real specimen.
Race: Caucasian
Gender: Female
Age: 66
Condition: see above.

It's like "Hey, we're making our casual appearence just so you know I still exist!"
Jokes apart, some kids wouldn't know them otherwise. What would be their reaction if they saw a Charizard coming out of nowhere?

Exactly. It serves as a way of showing the audience what some of the other Pokemon Ash has so that they aren't caught completely off-guard by any of them suddenly appearing or Ash talking about them. Plus, it's a nice way of showcasing some older Pokemon for the older fans.

Well it does sound like one, but I am wondering still. I just watched this presentation here, not sure if it has been posted before, I looked at the related threads and did not see it in the first few pages. http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com So there is a persistent world, which is shared by many players. This right here matches the descripion of an MMO experience. It will have bi-weekly (lets hold them to their words with just "frequent") updates and will grow in a dynamic fashion, instead of updates. You buy separetly. It is a PC game, what else could it be? (I would not play in any other form anyways.) And the world will be Open Ended. This does not necessarilly mean Sandbox, but it means Freedom of play as the player chooses, there are no rails to the Star Citizen portion, however there will be the military Squadron 42 Cmpaign which will play as a traditional Wing Commander Solo Experience. Seems to me like an expansion/combination of the previous ideas. And I love what I see and hear up to now, very excited about this one. Thoughts? |
It is an MMO and much more. The way they answer the question in their FAQ is misleading and confusing and I've been meaning to suggest to them to change it so that people understand what they really mean by it. Essentially, they're saying they don't want to be labeled as soley an MMO.
Fixed the Link if it did not work previously.

Star Citizen is going to be not just an MMO, but of course will have a MMO part, instanced in 100 players max, but stills MMO. As you said before, there is going to exist a persistent universe where the players can interact between them and do actions on it. So yes, is going to be an MMO with Instances. Few people says that this is not going to be an MMO, is just another Wing Commander with MP but nope. They have no reason because the creator of the game, i mean, the only person whose words are true, say that he does not want to make any king of old game like Wing Commander, he wants to make the persistent universe where you can go free on them and interact with player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhsgiliheP0 Since 2:00. Watch this. So, for these people taht say is going to be SP with some MP I have to tell that you are confuse. This is going to be Squadron 42, the SP/MP campaign mode. Star Citizen is more, much more than that. |
Originally posted by Celonius I think everyone is aware of what the creator *wants* Star Citizen to be. However, many of us have seen a lot of promises and game descriptions from developers in the past, with the game not being quite what we were lead to believe. This project is looking VERY ambitious and I think it's probably safest to take a "wait and see" approach. Definitely not worth building tons of hype around because that hype will more than likely be dashed if every game that has come out in the past how many years is any indicator. They never live up to the hype. |
Yes that is the video I saw in the Official site. Chris clearly describes an MMO even if he is not calling the game as such (he is neither calling anything else mind you). There should be no doubts there I think. An MMO is defined by a Persistent world which is shared by many players (typically more than 2). And this Star Ciizen is according to the description given. Thanks for the Tubed version, easier to share around :) And Share I shall! |
They're not calling it an MMO, and in it also doesn't follow traditional MMO structures. But it wouldn't be outright wrong to call it an MMO.
"Tiny clown, he got wet. I was talking to a psychic and I can't sleep in the ozone. There are too many different peanuts, looking sad. |
I realy hope this game contains high volume of sandbox. Keeping an eye on this one. |

Nobody obtains almost 7$ million (and I think that in 1-2 months will arrive at 8$ million) by crowdfunding being unpopular. If it has obtain this amount of money is because Chris Roberts is know in the community as a one of the bigs space sim father and best developers. Of course, there has not the 100% of the promises on the release, but I think that this is far away to be vaporware or something like that. |
Originally posted by Suraknar You're quite wrong if you think an mmo is anything with more than just 2 people. |
This has confused me quite alot aswell. As I understood it, it's based on player servers, like Counter Strike for example. And if that is the case it's not an mmo since it's not a persistent world rather official or player created servers.
Originally posted by Mothanos I agree with this one... Ill be happy to actually FLY my ship |

There will be a persisten world where the players actions affect it. Yes, there will be instanced, but this does not make that SC will not be a MMO. SC will be a MMO, an Instanced MMO, but stills be MMO It's something like Guild Wars 1 but with more players/per instance and there won't be loading screens. |
"No! Star Citizen will take the best of all possible worlds, ranging from a permanent, persistent world similar to those found in MMOs to an offline, single player campaign like those found in the Wing Commander series. The game will include the option for private servers, like Freelancer, and will offer plenty of opportunities for players who are interested in modding the content. Unlike many games, none of these aspects is an afterthought: they all combine to form the core of the Star Citizen experience." This is pulled straight out of their FAQ. The game will have MMO like elements, but it won't be an MMO. |
Ahh i love this websites community. Any other legit mmorpg that had restricted instancing and a solo (offline?) option would be torn to shreds. Everyones ripping apart other mmorpgs for too much instancing and complaining that theres not enough forced group content that its basically an online single player game. THEN mmorpg.com lits a game thats actually a single player game with extreme instanced multiplayer option and the community LOVES its. You guys really crack me up |
Originally posted by Crunchy222 You're right... to a point. If this was a Fantasy based MMORPG with this same setup I wouldn't even give it a second look. BUT... This is a space MMO (Notice there is no RPG at the end of that) and with this setup it will work and feel like a space MMO should. Space is big... really BIG. I wouldn't expect to see 300 players in one place. Also there is no character progression either other than aquiring more credits to buy better ships/equipment. This game is very different than anything that has come before. You are trying to compare this game to other MMOs and that simply doesn't work. Is this game a single player game? Yes. Is this game a limited multiplayer game? Yes. Is this game a MMO? Yes. This game is all of these things and a whole lot more. You really need to think outside of the extremely small box the MMO genre has cramed us all into over the last 10 years to judge this game fairly. Bren while(horse==dead) |

Intervening in the inevitable: Contesting globalization in a public sector organization
Spicer, Andre and Fleming, Peter. (2007) Intervening in the inevitable: Contesting globalization in a public sector organization. Organization, 14 (4). pp. 517-541. ISSN 1350-5084

Drawing on data from a study of an Australian public broadcaster (the Australian Broadcasting Corporation), this paper demonstrates how the marketization of public sector organizations involves a 'discourse of globalization' that legitimates marketization initiatives by making them appear inevitable. This discursive dimension also becomes a site of contestation. We examine three oppositional groups that challenge the apparent inevitability of globalization through a range of discursive tactics. They are surfacing implicitly shared values, appropriating dominant themes of globalization, and recovering traditional notions of public service. The paper explores the socio-political effects of such discursive tactics as they relate to understandings of globalization 'from below'.

Chan's interview after the SP. http://www.goldenskate.com/2012/11/chan-learns-something-new-in-moscow/ I like this part especially...about Jeff & Wilson.. The shows which Chan works with Wilson are maybe Yuna's show right? As for Jeff,Chan is so right...and That's why I admir and love Jeff as a skater.
Definitely worth staying up till 3.00am and watching Patrick skated a clean program (though not perfect and at its best yet). I thought he looked more confident than in Skate Canada, VarBar. But as always, watching Patrick is kind of nerve wrecking, and I too am learning how to deal with it. leaa, Wilson comes across as a wonderful and warm person in the past interviews I watched of him, and both Patrick and Wilson worked together in many Yuna shows. Yes, Patrick has always admired Buttle. He has mentioned this a few times in interviews. He even got himself into trouble with his usual straight talking when he defended Buttle's winning of the 2008 Worlds, and got into the bad books of some fans of the skater Patrick had an exchange with.
Yes, and he was only about 16 or 17 then..........and it hasn't let up for some. I like that he gives credit where credit is due to Jeff and David, but he also is bringing their choreo to life.........so friggin difficult is the stuff he's been given to do. Good luck tomorrow Patrick............Sending good vibes!!!!
Actually I didn't know that either. But I am not a skater Anyway It's a relief that's never going to happen again. I was relieved Chan did well in SP. Still I am a little nervous about FS. But One thing for sure is he is a real fighter. So sending good vibes too~
My highlights: 1. 4T/3T and 4T - calm, confident, secure, wonderful flow out of these two jump passes, just amazing quality on both, perfection in jumping. 2. He didn't fall. But shouldn't he have done the second 2A in combination for that jump to count? Congrats to Patrick on earning his spot in the Grand Prix Final in such a totally convincing way.
I couldn't watch his performances live but so happy that he finally delivered two great skates in Russia! hope this is a turning point for him cannot wait for the vid! what makes me happier is that he finally got the SS mark he deserves.
Sooo happy. Never mind my panda eyes. I am going to have sweet dreams tonight. Yes, VarBar, our young man didn't fall and he won convincingly though we know there will still be nitpicking. Who cares! Let's celebrate ...
I'm going away for the weekend and have no time to search the various posts and threads .. anything on youtube yet on today's program?
For those with access to the NBC Universal Sports youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLFB67mrALM&feature=g-all-u
Alright Patrick~!! He doubled his 3A but made it in the SP, and the program was well skated. I am very glad that I have yet to see this "Free Patrick from Kathy Johnson" posts after CoR. I have always thought his problem was beyond a tech coach problem that he had managed to sort out as the season went along. I am confident that he is on track to bring down the house during the 2nd half of the season like two previous seasons.
Patrick is a genius.......or at least his feet are . That program was amazing even with the small mistakes. David Wilson should be congratulated also as well as Jeff for the SP. Amazingly difficult and the class of the field in this program today (and most days ).
I have a question for you figure skaters out there. Patrick has talked about how he only gets his skates sharpened in Toronto which presumably means not very often. I ask because I need to sharpen my daughter's hockey skates at least every 5-6 hours on the ice. She does like them sharp, but is it just that figure skating blades hold an edge longer, or that figure skaters don't like the edge too sharp? A bit off topic, but I'm curious...
Here's another link to Patrick's skate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zM0io7Ctqw nlyoung, I can't answer your question as I am not a skater. But you may wish to post your query on the Moves On The Field Thread. Some knowledgeable poster may respond to your query there. Here's Chan's response to an interview in relation to his new EX which he is working with legendary Christopher Dean. Can't wait to see Christopher's program. Not sure whether this is the song he's talking about. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. It's very catchy. Maybe Patrick is using a hat to ask for a dollar. Here's a link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbVHbEGerRA
Oh that's exciting! I didn't know about that. Can't wait to see it. He was just wonderful today. His performance was stellar. A couple double jumps but that's ok. I think these 2 programs may become my faves of his. I already love them. I hope he kicks ass the rest of the season.
Thanks, spikydurian! Wow, can't wait to see his new EX! Using a hat? Sounds exciting! We have seen 4 new programs including 2 galas this year, and one more? We are lucky fans Patrick was absolutely amazing yesterday!
What an amazing skate! Yes, the double jumps but that means he still has room to improve for the big competitions. Now that he showed his jumps (quad and 3A) are all intact in the competitions, his decision to expand his artistry is the right decision. His skating is just mesmerizing!
What is it with Chris Dean and the hat? Didnt he do an ex with a hat and didnt he also choreo one for Kulik?
Short interview with Patrick after the free skate at COR. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/figureskating/video/#id=2302960924
Maybe Patrick needs a technical coach though? Technical coaches usually know these things. Thank you, spikydurian. Yes, it's the second section of the FS Patrick needs to work on for the GPF, while preserving the quality in the first part intact. His quads and 3Lz are Olympic gold jumps. Just amazing ease and ice coverage. I checked a few other videos on that page and bumped into Jeffrey and Patrick working out the details in Elegy. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/figureskating/video/#id=2302899715&tab=1 I thought Elegy was a fantastic program when I saw Chan skating this routine at the 2012 Worlds Gala but I am bit underwhelmed by it as a program for competition. I feel that the hard jumps - quad and 3A - overpower this quiet and dreamy piece by Rachmaninov and I'm still not entirely happy with the footwork section. La bohème on the other hand, I have no complaints to file, it's a wonderfully constructed story-telling program and it suits Chan really really well. http://twitpic.com/bcabif/full leaa, welcome to this thread.
Hello fans. Did you all notice that Patrick was awarded two perfect tens for Skating Skills? All of the component marks were above nine throughout the score sheet. No one else has come close to that this season. I suspect Kathy Johnson at least facilitated that improvement in artistry.
Hopefully they do, and I'm not disputing your basic point. However, there are lots of examples of technical coaches who don't necessarily know the rules as well as they should, which forces the skaters to figure things out for themselves. The best recent example might be Igor Shpilband and the rules regarding scoring of lifts in ice dance last season. Virtue/Moir were forced to figure out why their scores were not correct at the Grand Prix final, and that the scoring software was not working correctly, something that Igor absolutely should have figured out for them. So I think skaters should try to understand the rules themselves, so that they can protect themselves from any lack of knowledge on the part of their coaches. It's sort of an insurance policy against uninformed coaches. If skaters have done the work of looking at the rules in detail, they will also be more likely to be able to think on their feet if they want to change their program layout. IMO the best example of someone who did this, and was able to rework his programs as necessary because of his knowledge, is Jeff Buttle.
I know that there have been complaints about Patrick's PCS marks being so beyond others' and some not believing the spread is justified. This is a debatable topic in some areas. However, if Patrick is not a 10 in skating skills I don't know who is. ETA- post 3000!
Well it is an automatic -3 in the short as it is an incomplete combination. It was obviously an involuntary pop so there wasn't much he could do about it really, other than not attempt the combination at all and do the 3toe after the 3lutz instead. However, the 4toe landing wasn't so shaky that he couldn't do the combination...
I dunno...To me it looked the single toe was tacked on because there was pretty much zero height and attack going into the jump. When I saw it I thought it was a turn out on the quad or something. I am guessing Patrick thought he needed to wing in another jump to save the combo but didn't know doing a single would still make the element incomplete. He could totally save the toe and do a 3toe after the 3Lz though but that's a mental issue I suppose.
I was thrilled with Patrick's programs this weekend in Russia. I couldn't believe the perfection of the 3 axel in the short! And CBC aired the Jeff/Patrick video in their segment called "A Skater's Life", showing how they worked on the choreography for the SP. I am so glad I saw that as I was FFing through some of the rest of the competition. I thought Patrick looked much more focused and calm in his opening pose for La Boheme, and I was jumping up and down when he nailed both quads. Now, only a few weeks until GPF and then I also have a ticket to see Patrick skate in Celebration On Ice in Stratford, ON on Dec. 13th. Maybe he could debut the new Dean program at GPF and then repeat it at COI? That would be so cool. I have to say I enjoy the new EX he skated at Skate Canada too, it's quite understated, but gorgeous skating skills on display. Really, he could just stroke around the ice and I'd be mesmerized.
Yes VarBar, I think we all tend to compare Elegy the Ex to Elegy the competitive and shortened piece and may find it harder to appreciate the competitive version as the Ex has more freedom to express itself. Thanks. Patrick's smile brightens my day! Yes, we did. And as Accordion said, some detractors think it's not justified. Oh well, detractors are never satisfied since many refused to accept that Patrick currently has the best skating skills among his peers. Even Valentin Piseev acknowledged Patrick's superior skating skills in his interview here: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?85384-Interview-with-Valentin-Piseev Yeah, I don't think he meant to do a single but ended with one not knowing it's a 3 point deduction. As he said, now he knows

Income and profit are two measures of an industrys performance. Income growth of transportation industries has flattened out since the second quarter of last year. Only one percent increase was realized in the fourth quarter. Stagnant growth caused a sharp dip in transportation industries profit. In the first quarter of this year, the profit of transportation industry decreased 22.66 percent.
For-Hire Transportation Industries | Q1 01 | Q2 01 |
Income (billions of dollars) | 61.10 | 60.50 |
Income percent change from previous quarter | -1.37 | -0.98 |
Profit (billions of dollars) | 1.28 | 0.83 |
Profit percent change from previous quarter | -52.34 | -35.29 |
NOTES: For-hire transportation includes establishments providing passenger and freight transportation and related services on a fee basis to the general public or other business enterprises. For-hire does not include in-house transportation establishments within non-transportation enterprises, which provide transportation services for the enterprises own use.
Income of a for-hire transportation industry is the difference between its revenue and the cost of its intermediate inputs (or goods and services consumed in providing transportation services). If an industry has no operations in foreign countries and its income comes entirely from its production activities (in contrast to, for example, financial activities), its income would be the same as its contribution to Gross Domestic Product.

Performance Tradeoffs
GNU diff
runs quite efficiently; however, in some circumstances
you can cause it to run faster or produce a more compact set of changes.
There are two ways that you can affect the performance of GNU
by changing the way it compares files.
Performance has more than one dimension. These options improve one aspect of performance at the cost of another, or they improve performance in some cases while hurting it in others.
The way that GNU diff
determines which lines have changed always
comes up with a near-minimal set of differences. Usually it is good
enough for practical purposes. If the diff
output is large, you
might want diff
to use a modified algorithm that sometimes
produces a smaller set of differences. The `-d' or
`--minimal' option does this; however, it can also cause
to run more slowly than usual, so it is not the default
When the files you are comparing are large and have small groups of
changes scattered throughout them, you can use the `-H' or
`--speed-large-files' option to make a different modification to
the algorithm that diff
uses. If the input files have a constant
small density of changes, this option speeds up the comparisons without
changing the output. If not, diff
might produce a larger set of
differences; however, the output will still be correct.
Normally diff
discards the prefix and suffix that is common to
both files before it attempts to find a minimal set of differences.
This makes diff
run faster, but occasionally it may produce
non-minimal output. The `--horizon-lines=lines' option
prevents diff
from discarding the last lines lines of the
prefix and the first lines lines of the suffix. This gives
further opportunities to find a minimal output.
Go to the previous, next section.

JMU and Booz Allen Hamilton Sign Agreement to Deliver Infosec MBA to Employees
Booz Allen Hamilton and James Madison University recently signed a partnership agreement that allows employees of Booz Allen Hamilton to apply for and receive special tuition rates for either JMU's Information Security MBA Program (Infosec MBA) or the Master of Science in Computer Science Program (Infosec MS). According to MBA Program Director Dr. Michael Busing, the Special Arrangement Contract spans a two-year period and will admit approximately 10 additional students annually into both of the two programs. As part of the contract, employees of Booz Allen Hamilton receive a 15 percent discount on tuition.
The Infosec MBA program began in August 2000 with its first cohort group. The 13th cohort will start in August 2012. One course is taken at a time and each course lasts eight weeks. The entire program lasts 27 months, including holiday breaks.
The program includes 10 core MBA courses, covering basic business topics such as accounting, finance, marketing, management and strategy. Each of these core courses addresses issues of information security as it relates to the specific discipline. Additionally, four courses focus on information security topics that managers in today's business environment need to know.
The Infosec MBA program effectively utilizes a 'blended' format. Each course includes four-hour face-to-face Saturday meetings in Reston, Va., at the beginning and end of every course. The rest of the course is completely web-delivered, utilizing leading-edge synchronous and asynchronous teaching methods. This type of program maximizes teaching efficiency and effectiveness, while maintaining student flexibility.
The program is fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). In addition to the MBA degree, all graduates receive the NSA-approved certificate: Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) Professionals (NSTISSI No. 4011). JMU is one of the original seven Centers of Excellence in Information Assurance Education.
The Infosec MS computer science program began in January 1997. The program is part of the Computer Science Department's distance learning initiative and was one of the first such programs in the nation. One of the highest quality, most comprehensive and highly technical Information Security programs in the nation, it is designed to provide a premier information security education that equips graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to design, implement and maintain secure modern information infrastructures and systems. This graduate program is attuned to a rapidly changing technological and information oriented society and offers a 100 percent Internet-based interactive InfoSec education. Students work on individual and team projects, participate in the weekly web-based classroom discussions, and log into our remotely accessible InfoSec labs to work on projects, including cyber defense exercises and computer forensics analysis.
Booz Allen Hamilton has been at the forefront of strategy and technology consulting for 95 years. Providing a broad range of services in strategy, operations, organization and change, information technology, systems engineering, and program management, Booz Allen is committed to delivering results that endure.

Summary of Working Paper No. 102-1998
The analysis has shown that major factors promoting the establishment of a new
transportation "corridor" according to the "Northern" scenario are:
dependence on the monopoly position of existing oil and gas transportation
systems (represented by JSC
high degree of deterioration of existing oil and gas trunklines (first of them
were constructed more than 25 years ago) requires enormous additional
limitation of capacities of efficient export-oriented trunklines and
facilities which could not be solved in the near future.
At the same time, implementation of the "Northern" scenario of hydrocarbons
transportation is connected with many difficulties caused by the factors of high
technological and financial risk. The latter, in particular, is connected with
the necessity of significant investment into transportation infrastructure
(regardless of any selected technology) and expected instability of the world
market of hydrocarbons.
General result of evaluation of the variants of transportation is that:
development of the local oil and gas projects with rather low levels of
production in the "Northern" scenario of oil transportation is quite close to the
"Southern" scenario in terms of costs;
transportation of gaseous hydrocarbons in the "Southern" scenario from the
