Comments about Kali Aazis Soft Knee Guard:
I used these for regular mountain biking and dirt jumping. Fit great and stayed up well thanks to dual velcro straps. Not the most breathable knee pad, but great padding that's very soft. Liked the inner padding that protects the inside of your knees when hitting the frame, etc.
I wear POCs now, but price wise the Kali's are a great value.

Comments about Kali Aazis Soft Knee Guard:
The little pads on the inner knee are awesome! if you ride platforms and have ever slipped a pedal, or taken a foot off only to have your knee smash into your frame, you'll know what I mean. Excellent coverage, snug enough to stay in place, but not too constricting. A little hot if you wear them for hours but just stash them in your pack for the climbs, and strap 'em on for the downs!

Comments about Kali Aazis Soft Knee Guard:
These are great knee pads. Someone recommended buying a pair when the troy lee pads I wanted were out of stock. I'm glad I bought these. Troy lee pads are great don't get me wrong, but I'm sure glad I tried these out. These pads are comfortable, lightweight, nice design, have side padding. The material is very flexible so they can easily be squeezed into a camelbak. I personally have not climbed any hill more than a few hundred feet with these so I cannot say how great they'd feel on a long XC ride, but they are perfect to throw on when you get to the technical downhill stuff. I've used them about 20 times and they still fit the way they did the first time I wore them. No rips or tears yet, and i've fallen quite a few times with them. the velcro straps are also great for that custom fit.

GREENSBORO — The
The board held a work session to discuss what it would take to develop the prison farm site north of Gibsonville. According to Clerk to the Board Robin Keller, the commissioners voted 7-2 in regular session to allow business and real estate attorney Mike Fox of the Tuggle Wiggins law firm to better determine the readiness of the site, including finding out which landowners near the site would be willing to sell their property, and also to allow attorney Donald Donadio of Womble Carlyle Sandridge and Rice to begin working toward setting a framework for an interlocal government agreement on how infrastructure might be provided to the site.
If developed, the site could generate $39 million in state and local tax revenue per year. It would cost about $81 million initially to develop the site's infrastructure over a two-year period including a water supply provided potentially through Burlington, and sewer infrastructure provided potentially through
The planning department's report suggested the site could be developed to attract advance manufacturing, public safety, and data centers. The report suggested the site could be developed over a 20-year period.
The report projected that Project Haystack could support 5,300 full- and part-time jobs and attract $6.5 billion in private capital investment over the next 20 years if developed.
Branson said Friday he had several concerns with the plan. The board approved spending $30,000 to be used toward establishing a nonprofit to manage Project Haystack and to allow Donadio to draft the project's proposed interlocal governmental agreement, Branson said.
Branson said he believed those developing Project Haystack should be more open with the public about what is happening, especially with the property owners living near the site.
"I dislike the secrecy of it," Branson said.
Branson said he wanted to see public hearings held in the future regarding Project Haystack, and said he wasn't sure how much information had been provided to the project's potential government partners, including Gibsonville, Burlington and
"There is still a lot of unknown with the interlocal agreement," Branson said.
Branson said the board discussed how it could develop as much as 2,000 acres at the site, including surrounding areas adjacent to the county-owned property. The prison farm, at 7315 Howerton Road, includes 760 acres owned by the county. Branson said a real estate agent will approach property owners living near the site to see who might be willing to sell their property to expand the proposed infrastructure development beyond the 760-acre footprint.
Officials from Alamance and
"I am for jobs, but at what cost?" Owen said.
Gibsonville Mayor Lenny Williams attended the work session Thursday.
Williams said Friday that at first he had some concerns about Project Haystack because he thought the plan might "block off growth" for Gibsonville, and wasn't sure how inclusive a potential interlocal agreement would be for all those involved. Williams said most of his concerns were addressed during the work session and that he supports the plan moving forward.
Williams said he plans to invite a planner from Project Haystack to attend the Gibsonville Board of Aldermen meeting in January to provide an update. Officials want to develop the prison farm site to attract a "huge data center," Williams said.
Williams said he didn't believe any companies have committed to coming to the site, but developing the site would improve the site's chances of bringing jobs and additional investment to the region.

Results 1 to 20 of 1960
[VS] StratGir Wednesdays - [RPS] Outfit Ops
Welcome new (and returning) players!
I set up the Rock, Planet, Shotgun outfit as a place for readers of RPS to try out Planetside 2. Therefore new players are always welcome. The focus has always been on providing a fun & firendly place to shoot lasers above all else.
Wednesday nights we get a bit more 'strategic'
What to expect:
* Friendly atmosphere
* 12 person VOIP channels (which makes asking questions as a new player easier)
* Squad leaders who will direct you through the fights
* High-level coordination between our platoons and allied outfits.
What not to expect:
* Very strict discipline
* Anything vaguley militaristic
* A desire to shoot lasers (or revive allies, repair vehicles).
* Skill in hitting targets not necessary.
* Be excellent to one another.
* Mumble We don't need you to have or use a microphone. But it will be necessary for you to join our Mumble server & listen-in. Any problems please send an in-game whisper to me. (Type: "/t Cooper" and then your message into the chatbox.)
We tend to have a friendly, mildly chaotic format on most nights. Thursday nights are intended to be just as friendly, but somewhat less chaotic. Feel free to chat as you run about shooting lasers.
For those joining us for the first time, your first move should be to join our Mumble server. Details are in the post linked in the RPS article, and are linked below. Once in that channel you will be talked through the process of getting in game, joining platoons, and you will be setup with a squad leader.
Original message:
Strategic Giraffes:
On Wednesday nights, Rock, Planet, Shotgun [RPS] gets Strategic!
Starts @ 7:30pm (GMT); try to be there a bit earlier to organise squds etc.
How to join:
Firstly: It's probably best that you've either rolled out with us before, or have been playing PS2 for a while now. For a more casual affiar, join us any other night, and particularly Purple Wednesdays
1) Setup Mumble
as per this thread
Pay attention to what squad you have been put in and move yourself to that channel.
Those planning to be PL or SL should follow the instructions for that.
2) Join the 'Strategic Giraffe' Platoon
You will then be allocated a squad. Make sure you are in the right Mumble channel
3) Follow orders
What to expect:
On Thursdays we aim for more coordination and generally more efficiency. There will be a command structure, there will be more specific orders, and you will be expected to be engaged with this.
What this does not mean is that this is a night for 'elite' playeers. Decent coordination is not the preserve of those with the better twitch skills. In fact, those of us in command roles are unlikely to be the highest scorers / K/D ration holders etc. Coordination is a different skill set than shooting lasers.
Basic ground rules:
- Be in Mumble
A Mic is not required, but listening-in is. Those not in Mumble will be kicked from the platoon
- Follow orders & be quick about it
No going off and doing your own thing. And if an order is giving to get somewhere; go there. If the order is to reform at Warpgate, then type "/suicide" immediately.
- This is not a democracy
On most nights decisions are discussed first. Not on Thursdays. Only question orders if you think the SL has missed something incredibly important. (Which is not anything that can be seen on the map such as "base at waypoint is already being capped": If it's on the map, assume the SL knows)
- Stick together
This means: Not re-spawning straight away: Assume a medic is nearby and wait a little bit. It also means waiting at the sunderer / spawn room for fellow squad mates and moving out together.
- Communication is only for relevant info
During 'downtime' when not in the middle of a fight, chat and joke all you want. However mid-fight comms should only be used for the usual battle info: Enemy locations, status updates, coordination etc.
Original message (out of date)
Personally I love the atmosphere we have in the Barney channel now of dozens of people having a friendly chat whilst occasionally shooting lasers, sometimes at the same thing.
But I hear and understand the desire for something "a bit more organised".
Solution: A trial run on Thursday of a "strategic giraffes" night.
If you want to be involved in some more organised laser shoots, join us in the "strategic giraffes company" subchannel of the "Planetside 2 -> Barneys" channel in Mumble (see main thread) at 7pm on Thursday (6th December) in preparation for rollout at 7:30pm (GMT times)
Don't let this description put you off. We're not looking for people to act in an incredibly regimented way. Rather, instead of the usual "the whole platoon spawns at the same sundy and generally runs in the same direction" style, we'll be doing things like keeping squads together and following dedicated pointmen, splitting into fireteams, moving through a base in unison, keeping each other alive, having squads focused on much more specific targets than just "get to the three points", fulfilling more specific roles etc. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please do join us.
I'll roll as platoon leader for this night, but I fully expect people to step into this role on future nights. And set something like this up on an ad-hoc basis when the channel is getting too busy / chatty for them.
Currrent planned setup:
- Platoon leader (PL) (Cooper) in an otherwise empty Alpha Squad. (Note: No democratic decision making this night.)
My reasoning is that all leadership certs are only available to SLs. Not being SL (especially being out of the command channel, also somewhat with map icons) hurts the PL role. Yet I don't want to also, actually, be an SL whilst I am PL. If I've learnt anything the past few weeks, it's that actively trying to lead a platoon means that actually trying to 'play the game' (read: shoot lasers) often needs to take a backseat. There's nothing worse than being asked for orders and being unable to because you are running for your life (I tend to do that a lot. Take that as an indication of how good a leader I am if you wish...). I fully expect to be spending 90% of my time on Thursday just with the map & command chat open.
- Three Squad Leaders (SL) in Bravo, Charlie and Delta channels
Please pipe up here if you want to volunter for the SL role. Only gumption and at least one bar in the "Spawn Beacon" certification (Squad leadership tree) needed.
SLs should create a whipser to the #command token. I'll take people through that process on the night.
- Three Fireteam leaders (and 2nd in command)
Either pipe up here or volunteer on the night. Should also be listening-in to the #command token whisper, if not regularly speaking up in there.
- 5 Fireteam members per fireteam (10 per squad)
- A second platoon if space needed and / or for more specialised, dedicated role players
If you would like to put together a specialised squad (I think mostly pilots would fit here), let's try and get that organised here first.
Planned channel setup:
Planetside 2 _| Barneys _| Strategic Giraffes Company _|Platoon 1 _| Alpha Cooper (PL) _| Bravo Bravo Squad Leader / Fireteam 1 Leader Bravo Fireteam 1 Member 1 Bravo Fireteam 1 Member 2 Bravo Fireteam 1 Member 3 Bravo Fireteam 1 Member 4 Bravo Fireteam 1 Member 5 Bravo Fireteam 2 Leader Bravo Fireteam 2 Member 1 Bravo Fireteam 2 Member 2 Bravo Fireteam 2 Member 3 Bravo Fireteam 2 Member 4 Bravo Fireteam 2 Member 5 _| Charlie As Bravo channel _| Delta As Bravo channel _|Platoon 2 (If needed, possibly for dedicated role players (e.g: pilots)) _| Alpha _| Bravo _| Charlie _| Delta
Those of you who've played on ARPS's tactical tuesdays (I really keep meaning to go back to those: Anyone looking for firendly & organised play will always find it there) will notice this is a bit different. My main reasoning being that, well, they're different games. Planetside 2 moves faster, and you die faster.
Smaller fireteams don't make much sense in a situation where half or more are likely dead within 2 minutes. If half dead = no medics, then fireteams will be spending most of their time split-up, waiting for those respawning to join them, or, conversely, running to catch up with the rest of the FT. Given the scale of the game, I'm not sure it it makes much sense to split a 12-person squad channel up; direct communication with a smaller group of poeple is gonna limit your knowledge off what's going on in the field too much.
That being said, if things are getting too busy with 2x6-person fireteam communications per channel, we can review this. This is largely intended as a trial night to see what works.

Grr, Thursday means I probably won't make it. In case I do, though: Anyone up for an infiltration and/or sniping squad?
Also, for clarity: It's 7:30pm GMT, isn't it?

I'll volunteer for SL if no one else wants it, dont have much of a cv to my name though, got a spawn beacon and a colorful smoke nade haha.
I'm up for SLing on Thursday, I'd like to lead a LA squad ideally.Technology is a bad thing, people
Damn, just scheduled a D&D game for Thursday, but otherwise I'd be up for squad leadership.
As for infantry-based squads, I'd be wary of over specialisation.
Without at least one medic per fireteam, things will unravel fast.
Having something like a MAX fireteam with a medic certed so they can revive MAXs and an engineer or two makes sense. Same with a fireteam made up of mostly LAs, or HAs, infiltrators or something like that. But I'd avoid single-role fireteams.
As for infiltrators, they're most use spread between fireteams. having a spotter who can relay enemy ground infantry movements throughout a base is a boon. They can't do that if they're all in a FT of their own.Originally Posted by CROCONOUGHTKEY
I'm a fairly inexperienced player, but I enjoy running as a medic (BR 11). I've certed the Jesus Bomb almost to the top (only the 200 tier remaining - the Jesus Bomb I believe is more useful, as the player is capable of both firing and healing), plus put about 40 certs in each of the med tool and flak armour. I also have about 150 unspent CPs, and I wouldnt mind spending them where the team would deem them more useful. If you'd have me along, I'd like to give it a try.
Though my main is a filthy smurf I'm eager to play PS2 in an organized manner and would join with my vanu alt.
Obviously I haven't certed anything so I'd just be a lowly grunt.Play ArmA with us. (Competence not required.)
It's okay to not like things.
I want to lead a squad. Sounds great overall!
edit: Actually, I might just go MAX instead, making squad leading not an option (why is this btw?). Certing that up and really really enjoying it, so.

I will be up for this pending my availability on Thursdays.
I'm not always available on a Thursday, but if I am I will definitely be up for this.
This sounds like excellent fun although I won't be able to make this Thursday. Persuading my girlfriend that I should have one dedicated gaming night was tough enough, particularly with 'you play any other free chance you get' being a fairly reasonable riposte on her behalf.
Looking forward to hearing how you get on and hopefully I'll be able to join you in the future.

I would love to join in on this. However, just a slight problem or two.
1. I can't get my mic working at all for some reason (I've got one of those Creative USB headsets).
2. Consequently, I can't get an invite to the Outfit.
3. I'm colourblind so the difference between squad member colours and enemy colours can be a pain in the arse if I'm not concentrating.
4. My in game name is Aircool, but I had to register in these forums under a different name.
I used to be a sneaky beaky in the RAF and enjoy working in a team in online games, especially being told what to do as it's nice not to shoulder any responsibility when playing games
Here's my stuff.
I've got access to...
A Scythe with rocket pods.
A Libby with the 105mm Howitzer.
A Lightning with HEAT or AAA
A Magrider with either HEAT or AP and the big vehicle sniper laser.
I think there's a 'nade launcher on my Sundy, but I never drive one.
I've unlocked the twin flak guns for a top banana AA MAX.
I'm quite happy to take up support roles as my close combat skills are decidely average (I'm getting on a bit and my twitch shooting days are behind me). At close quarters I prefer to use the night sights as it's easy to see enemies.

The mic is not a maor issue, though having one helps.
Since you posted your name here, someone (I'll do it too) will add you as a friend, when you accept that, if that person is online you can get an outfit invite from them when you're online. It'd also help if you add people listed in the Server thread as friends, which you can do while they're offline, unlike stupid outfit invites.

SO - depending upon how you stretch the chart rubber band, do midcap & smallcap have a place, or just go with the longer than 5 year view as per the little book, and toss all the equity into Total Stock Market - VTSMX ??
Trev H wrote:hpowders...
Bear Market 2000-2002 and 2008 (facts).
TSM returns were -10.57, -10.97, -20.96, and in 2008 was -37.04 --- total return for those bear market years -79.54
Small Value returns were +21.88, +13.70, -14.20, and -32.05 --- total return for those bear market years -10.67
Small Value has the lowest correlation to the US Market and IMO the best way to hold it is a combination of US Large Market and Small Value.
I personally split my US equities 50/50 Large Cap Index, Small Value Index.
Also note that a very small increase in bond allocation (around 5%) completely eliminates the portfolio volatility issue resulting from such a equity mix.

Please review again.... the actual returns for TSM and SV 2000-2002
To go with your statement above... But they may actually see SV up 21.88% while TSM is down -10.57
Sure TSM is a smiple way to hold the Market (Beta)... but you have no size/price diversification.
If the individual can't stand to see different parts of his portfolio working differently over different periods of time - they better not be investing separately in stocks and bonds because they will sure be reacting differently over different periods of time. The only solution for them would be a all in one balanced fund.
If you can "get over that".... and invest in different components, then you can certinly come to realize that stocks and bonds will give different returns over differrent periods of time, and so will you individual stock and bond components (US, Intl, Large, Small, etc)... (Treasuries, Tips, Corps).
Trev H
Small stocks may outperform the market at times. However, the inherent risk is great. The AAII has a small stock model portfolio and it was down over 50% in 2008.
Small stocks are too volatile for me. I'd rather go with smooth and steady.
I don't know many folks who could stay with a portfolio down 50%.
If you are constantly fretting over the performance of individual components of your portfolio... well (IMO) you are just paying way toooooo much attention to your investments.

1.1 Egoism: Take the long view
To obtain a doctorate I must sacrifice some of my short term desires in the interest of my overall goal. I must, for example, sacrifice a few hours perusing my friends' Facebooks in order to learn my profession's rules about authorship.
Why should I make such sacrifices? Society grants professionals and researchers considerable freedom. If I can obtain my degree without learning all the rules--or if I can get the experimental results I expect by dropping one outlying data point--why shouldn't I? What motivation do I have to act ethically, that is, to perform the right action for the right reason?
Here is a disturbingly difficult philosophical question, the "Who cares?" question. Why should I be moral at all? While the question is familiar, its answer is not. In many ways, "Why should I care about right and wrong?" is the most basic question of the examined life.
Perhaps the most compelling answer emerges from thinking about one's desires. Egoism, a popular and powerful ethical theory, takes this approach, focusing attention initially on what I want to explain why I should care.

The Nebraska Library Commission upgraded more than 140 PCCs at libraries throughout the state. These new resources provide computer access, employment resources, and assistance with government services for communities with low broadband penetration and median incomes below the national average. As of June 30, 2013, the commission deployed approximately 735 new workstations. Fifty libraries upgraded their broadband speeds as a result of equipment and assistance provided by the commission. At these upgraded facilities, the average speed increased from 1.8 to 7.4 Mbps. Along with these new computer resources, the commission also used BTOP funds to conduct new digital literacy and workforce training, providing a wide variety of classes and support including computer basics, job searching, and resume creation. Through June 2013, more than 27,000 users on average visited the libraries each week, and more than 30,000 residents participated in training.
The New Jersey State Library (NJSL), an affiliate of Thomas Edison State College, enrolled more than 6,500 students in more than 2,800 hours of job-readiness computer skills workshops in public libraries across New Jersey. This initiative is designed to help unemployed and underemployed residents acquire the skills needed to find and retain a job. The libraries are providing free access to broadband, workforce development classes, and career advancement tools.
NJSL used BTOP funds to deploy more than 845 new computers at 125 public libraries and upgrade broadband connectivity at 86 public libraries. Along with free access to these workstations, the libraries offer workforce development classes on topics such as computer fundamentals, resume and cover letter techniques, job search fundamentals, and email basics. The libraries also provide free access to career databases and applications that help users explore careers, find and apply for jobs, improve interviewing skills, and track job search progress.
NJSL also provides resources for small business owners and entrepreneurs to foster entrepreneurship, and help existing businesses make lasting and substantial improvements in their performance. At the libraries, community residents can access online business and marketing tools and in-depth market research reports.
In addition to job training classes for residents, NJSL is partnering with the New Jersey Community College Consortium for Workforce and Economic Development to provide professional development workshops and specialized training for library staff members seeking to advance their careers. Librarians learn techniques for managing computer resources, allowing them to better meet their patrons' technology requests. NJSL has conducted 221 hours of training for its library staff and more than 20 hours of in-person workshops for approximately 100 librarians on how to use career tools and applications that can help library patrons.
Local librarians have seen many of their patrons acquire jobs after taking career building and digital literacy courses. For example, a visitor to the Mount Laurel Public Library lost his job in 2008. He enrolled in the library's workforce development workshops in 2010 and, using skills he learned in the workshops, was able to find a new job online. A resident of Garfield, N.J., also took a computer course at the Garfield Public Library, acquiring computer skills that she needed to obtain a part-time position as a Product Demonstrator. Libraries across the state are seeing similar successes of how broadband can improve a person's economic situation.

The Toledo Telephone Company, in partnership with the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, has helped more than 300 community members learn basic computer functionality, Internet, and email skills through intensive classes. Upon successful completion of the course, participants also receive a laptop and two years of free broadband service.
Based on the success of the initial program, Toledo Telephone Company expanded their course offerings to include an auxiliary course to 40 additional participants each month. The auxiliary course's curriculum covers a wide variety of topics, including Microsoft ® Office productivity software. When several senior citizen community members expressed an interested in learning how to share digital photos, Toledo Telephone Company also developed an Adobe ® Photoshop course.
All of these classes are part of a countywide initiative to increase broadband adoption through computer equipment and digital literacy education relevant to the Lewis County community and Cowlitz tribal members. Some community members that have successfully completed the course have implemented their computer knowledge in the workplace. One participant, who previously hand wrote her column for a local Toledo newspaper, now composes her article using her laptop and submits by email.

On December 5, 2011, Toledo-Lucas County Public Library reopened a newly renovated public computer center. The renovation of the Kent Branch @ccess Center included upgrading 109 computers, increasing broadband speeds and enhancing career-building resources. Since the opening, the center now offers free workforce development workshops and mentoring sessions to help individuals acquire the skills needed to find and retain jobs.
The @ccess Center has been able to acquire SMART® Board interactive whiteboards, build a new research lab for group collaboration, and offer classes to help visitors become more competitive in today's digital job market. The whiteboards allow instructors and students to digitally write on the board and interact with digital training materials. The center offers a wide variety of classes to help visitors develop digital literacy and workforce skills, including classes in computer basics, Internet fundamentals, and productivity software, such as Microsoft® Office, resume creation and interview preparation.
The @ccess Center is also providing classes on how to find and apply for jobs online since many Toledo-Lucas County businesses in Toledo-Lucas County are recruiting online. The @ccess Center provides workshops and individual assistance with job searching, email basics, and online applications. The center has already helped many of its visitors apply and interview for jobs at local manufacturing plants, as well as a newly opened casino, since each of these businesses has moved their hiring practices online
The library's ultimate goal is to help Toledo-Lucas County residents improve their lives through computer resources and educational opportunities. In addition to the @ccess Center, the library funded the Cybermobile, a state-of-the-art mobile technology center complete with broadband Internet access. Funded by BTOP, this "classroom on wheels" is equipped with 12 desktop computers and provides broadband and digital literacy training to residents who are unable to commute to the @ccess Center.
Troy Cablevision, Inc. connected approximately 140 community anchor institutions to its network through June 2013. Troy's Southeast Alabama SmartBand -Rural Broadband for Economic Development and Energy Management project is deploying a 474-mile fiber optic network to provide broadband infrastructure in six southeast Alabama counties: Pike, Crenshaw, Coffee, Dale, Montgomery, and Dothan. Community anchor institutions in the six counties, including public safety entities, K-12 schools, libraries, community colleges, healthcare facilities, and government buildings, typically lack Internet access at the speeds necessary to provide key services like Next Generation 911, distance learning, and telemedicine. Troy Cablevision also formed a public-private partnership with the South Alabama Electric Cooperative to enable advanced "smartgrid" energy management services for approximately 17,000 electricity consumers in Crenshaw, Pike, and Coffee counties, significantly improving energy efficiency in the region. Troy plans to support economic growth by providing redundant fiber rings, including two backhaul routes to Atlanta, enabling the high-capacity, reliablebroadband capabilities required to attract businesses to the region.
In March 2011, the University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (UCAID), also known as Internet2, began upgrading its advanced middle-mile backbone network in support of the United States Unified Community Anchor Network (U.S. UCAN) project. Extending across 50 states, this upgraded network will enable high-speed broadband connectivity for up to 121,000 additional community anchor institutions. The project is a large-scale, public-private partnership that will interconnect more than 30 existing research and education networks, creating a dedicated fiber-optic backbone that will enable advanced broadband capabilities such as video multicasting, telemedicine, distance learning, and other life-changing Internet-based applications. UCAID's BTOP-funded fiber-optic network will also offer more than 8.8 TBps of capacity.
As of July 2011, UCAID has upgraded and activated more than 4,828 miles of its proposed 16,312 mile fiber network. In addition, UCAID anticipates the first coast-to-coast links, from New York City to Sunnyvale, Calif., to be installed and operational this summer with the entire network expected to be completed by early 2013.
In addition to the network infrastructure, UCAID also initiated outreach and awareness-building activities to demonstrate how advanced broadband applications and services could be deployed throughout the United States. In April 2011, UCAID hosted an annual two-day conference meeting in Arlington, VA, where more than 65 members attended to receive a status update on the project's construction efforts and learned about the new services the organization will provide through the advanced network.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks is breaking down the digital divide in remote villages across the state, using a three-prong approach to increase sustainable broadband adoption. Through the Bridging the E-Skills Gap project, the university partners with approximately 20 non-profit, educational, and for-profit organizations to create distance learning, public safety, and telehealth opportunities.
For example, the Alaska Library Network provides free access to two new distance learning tools at state libraries. The first, Live Homework Help, is an online educational portal that offers live homework tutors to K-12 students seven days a week. The second, the Testing Educational Reference Center, is an online resource where patrons can access study guides, practice tests, and tutoring videos for school entrance and career certification exams. Library visitors can use the tool to prepare for tests, such as the GED, SAT, and the Reciprocal Electrician Journeyman License exam.
Another project partner, the Family Centered Services of Alaska, installed two video conference centers in Fairbanks to provide distance learning classes, professional development workshops, and even family therapy sessions to low-income families. The Alaska Postsecondary Commission is in the process of creating the College and Career Guide, an online portal that allows students to develop career plans, research and apply to colleges and postsecondary institutions, and find scholarships and other financial aid. Yet another project partner, the Alaska Native Tribal Consortium, offers a Telehealth Coordinator Certification Program for medical professionals. This three-course program helps individuals become certified workers skilled in the use and application of telehealth applications and videoconferencing equipment.
The University also created the Digital Storytelling-Performance Literacy program to teach K-12 students how to digitally write and tell their own culturally relevant stories. For example, Angoon, Alaska, is a small village with a population of less than 500 people, the majority of whom identify as Tlingit Indians. The Digital Storytelling program taught K-12 students at Angoon City Schools how to turn their stories into podcasts and share them with family members and friends around the country. This program improves the familiarity of students with computers and mobile devices, and encourages participants to use broadband technology to stay connected with loved ones.
So far, the University has encouraged more than 7,800 households and nearly 900 businesses to subscribe to broadband service.
The University of Arkansas System deployed more than 2,200 miles of fiber through June 2013. The Arkansas e-Link project is integrating two existing, previously unconnected networks, the Arkansas Telehealth Network and the Arkansas Research and Education Optical Network (AREON). It is providing upgraded broadband and/or equipment to more than 420 community anchor institutions in order to create a comprehensive statewide network for healthcare, higher education, research, and public safety services.
Through Arkansas e-Link, rural patients receive real-time consultation from medical specialists through interactive video telemedicine, allowing local doctors to collaborate with medical specialists to manage complex conditions. For instance, OB-GYN specialists in Little Rock are available to provide treament, diagnoses, and prenatal care protocols before the delivery of a baby at a remote clinic. After delivery, the local doctor and specialist collaborate on high-risk cases to determine if a Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC) transportation to a Little Rock Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is necessary for either the infant or mother. This collaboration is critical to save lives and reduce medical costs as the cost of transportation is approximately $25,000 per instance.
In addition, BTOP funds are used to help fund the Arkansas SAVES (Stroke Assistance through Virtual Emergency Support) program. With telemedicine, patients suffering from stroke symptoms receive life-saving, specialized treatment from a neurologist at another location. One patient from Searcy, Arkansas, said, "I didn't know anything about the SAVES program, but I am so thankful it was there for me…I went back to teaching a month after the stroke; I'm fine. The doctor said it was as if I had never had the stroke."
The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) increased institutional adoption of broadband services offered by the California Telehealth Network (CTN). UC Davis developed 60 online lessons to support transitions to technology-enabled health care, and more than 450 individuals accessed the material through the eHealth Training website. Additionally, eHealth course content created for nursing, medical assistant, and computer information sciences students was available for community college faculty to reference in the development of their own curriculum. Instructors had also accessed content such as Technical Project Management and the Importance of Broadband for Health Care Delivery. UC Davis also engaged consumers by installing ExploreHealth kiosks in community anchor sites. The kiosks are web-based portals that helped users access health information on the Internet.

But that went for naught because too much damage had been done by
"It's frustrating to have a start like that,"
Some of the numbers are mind-boggling considering eighth-seeded
Guard Khalif Wyatt, despite coping with a re-aggravated thumb injury in the waning minutes, scored 31 points for ninth-seeded
Even though
Still, it was the beginning that was the sticking point.
"We didn't play well at the start and it definitely showed," Wood said.
"We didn't come out and match the intensity," Leslie said.
The halftime count showed
"It was just us, careless," Brown said.
The score was 47-30 with less than 16 minutes to play before the Wolfpack racked up nine consecutive points.
Wood, a swingman, notched his first points on a pair of free throws with 5:41 to play, closing the gap to 59-49. His first field goal was a 3-pointer with 3:30 left, making it 62-57.
The Owls were gracious by missing 11 second-half free throws, but they canned six of their last seven attempts.
"I thought our first half was about as good as we could play,"
"I don't think we did a good job contesting shots," Brown said. "I knew they had shooters, but I didn't think they would shoot like that."

"Finally, there is a chance that the lob sided activism in Marin will come under fire."
http://www.sfgate.com/science/articleCo … 0a8c989903
Google finds thousands of examples. https://www.google.com/search?q="lob+sided"
What do you think the lob siders are thinking, jc? Is there a new imagery associated with being lob sided, or is a pure malapropism? Lob apparently comes from words associated with hanging, suspension, as if a ball lobbed in the air would hang up there for an instant. Is that sense playing a role?
Native Americans and French Voyageurs would trim pine trees as landmarks – these were known as lob pines
This discussion notes that "Lob as I understand it is to throw. Lop is to cut off or remove. Just an observation…"
The tree pictured in the discussion looks fairly symmetrical, not at all lop-sided—it just has some middle branches removed but some high ones remaining.
The OED doesn't have this usage of "lob," but does have "lop-stick n. (also lobstick) (Canadian) a tree which has had its branches lopped and the name of the lopper cut in its trunk."
It seems a bit odd that Native Americans and French Voyageurs would use a word with Middle English roots. Perhaps there is another derivation.
There are many instances of "lob sided" referring to haircuts where the hair is shorter on one side than the other: https://www.google.com/search?q="lob+sided"+hair&tbm=isch
In that case, it appears to be a blended word, made from lop+bob, used by people who don't know the meaning of "lop". They know they want a word that sounds something like "lop" and they end up with lob instead.
The visual they end up with makes sense, in a way. Imagine 2 tennis hits, one a smashing hit and the other a high arc lob. This visual is lop-sided, or lob-sided. Lob sided activism sounds like a group that gets all riled up but then doesn't do anything substantial – like a lob that goes high up in the air, but doesn't win (is easily returned by the other player).
Or maybe it is just a dumb mistake and not an eggcorn after all. :-)

University of South Carolina football standout Dylan Thompson addressed a Columbia International University Chapel service, sharing his Christian testimony and encouraging CIU students to join him in a Web-based Bible reading project.
Thompson, a quarterback for the Gamecocks, made headlines at the 2013 Outback Bowl on Jan. 1 when he came off the bench to lead his team to an upset of Big Ten powerhouse Michigan.
At the CIU Chapel, Thompson shared his Christian testimony saying that he grew up in the church and "prayed to receive Christ" as a child, but it was not until he was at the University of South Carolina that he "fully surrendered" his life to Christ.
Thompson has since started a website called The Bible Out Loud. It's a community outreach that challenges people to reacquaint themselves with the power of the Bible and memorize it by reading a favorite passage of the Bible out loud, and submitting it to the website.

More than 20 percent of online retailers have referred to the Olympics in their promotional materials in recent weeks. But unless they're official sponsors, they can't directly use trademarked Olympic symbols or even the word Olympics. So many have had to get creative, using language such as "go for the gold," "podium" or "world-class" to catch the attention of fans.

- 1 in 3 children does not have adequate
- 1 in 5 children does not have access to
safe water.
- 1 in 7 children does not have access to
health care.
- All of the above.
I would say that is all of the above
All of the above…
It would take $9 billion to provide safe water and $13 billion to provide for basic needs.
There are over 6 billion people in this world (according to the census.gov)…if everyone just donated up to $5-$10- or even $20 dollars…could you imagine??!!
all of them are true!
All of the above.
all of the above.
I think it is all of the above.
All of the above!
All of the above — I'm getting the hang of these questions…
All of the above
The answer is:
All of the above. Along with malnutrition, these mostly preventable causes are leading contributors to the millions of child deaths each year.

Umi, Hikaru, and Fuu have returned to Earth from Cefiro, but all three know they have been forever changed by their adventures there. Haunted by the decisions they made and the unresolved war between Zagato and Emeraude, the Magic Knights journey to Cefiro once more, this time with a sense of duty. But who was it that had the strength of heart to summon them again, if it was not the Princess Emeraude? Is it the person who, as Clef says, could replace her as the Pillar of Cefiro?

Suppose we do consider intentions? What is the intent behind a bombing raid? To defeat our enemy by depriving him of men and materiel which might otherwise be used against us. But we drop the bombs "with the knowledge that some number of children will be blinded, disemboweled, paralyzed, orphaned, and killed by them" (Harris, chapter 6, A Science of Good and Evil).
What is the intent behind torturing Muslims? To defeat our enemy by depriving him of suicide bombers and terrorists which might otherwise be used against us. Sure, we torture them with the knowledge that some number of them might not actually be used against us. But our intent is still to defeat our enemy. How is that any worse, morally, than dropping bombs we know will kill and maim innocent civilians?
But can't we judge intent by the choices one makes between available alternatives? While collateral damage is an unfortunate consequence of bombing raids, wouldn't you consider it immoral to inflict more collateral damage than necessary to destroy the intended target? Even the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which killed thousands of innocent civilians, were weighed against the eminent ground invasion of Japan that would likely have killed many times more people.
I think you would be hard pressed to show that torturing people out of their religion is the most effective method for depriving our enemy of suicide bombers and terrorists which might otherwise be used against us. Didn't our government try to suppress knowledge of Abu Ghraib and CIA detention camps specifically because they were likely to incite the type of hatred that leads to terrorism?

OXFORD, Ohio – With the 2012-13 Miami Athletics season winding down, the final Miami Athletes of the Week connected by Frontier Communications for the week of May 20-26 are senior runner Jarrod Eick and junior pitcher Seth Varner on the men's side and junior thrower Tori Paterra for the women.
Eick (Hartville, Ohio) had a strong showing at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds in Greensboro, N.C. in the 1500m, as he clocked a personal-best time of 3:44.12 in the first round on Thursday, which earned him a spot in the quarterfinals two days later. His time was the sixth-fastest qualifying time among the 48 runners in the first round and moved him up to fifth in school history. He entered the race seeded 36th with a time of 3:46.07, but vastly improved on both his seed and time. In Saturday's quarterfinal, he posted a time of 3:51.58 to place 20th, finishing 16 spots ahead of his seed and improving on his 37th-place finish at last year's East Prelims. It was his final race as a RedHawk, as only the top 12 advanced, but he finished his career with a Mid-American Conference title in the 1500m earlier this month.
Eick has now earned Miami Male Athlete of the Week six times in his career, including three times this year. He first collected the honor this year for cross country and has now garnered it for track twice this season and three times in his career.
Varner (Batavia, Ohio) earned Miami's win during the 2013 Mid-American Conference Tournament, leading Miami to a 6-5 victory over Central Michigan in 10 innings. The left-handed reliever took the mound to start on Friday morning after the contest was suspended in the sixth inning on Thursday night due to rain with the game tied 5-5. Varner held CMU in check, allowing no runs or hits while retiring all 12 batters he faced, allowing the RedHawks to win in extra innings. He conceded just one walk, but picked the runner off trying to steal third base, while striking out four in four innings of work.
The Miami Male Athlete of the Week honor is the first of Varner's career. He is the seventh different baseball player to be recognized as Miami Athlete of the Week this year.
Paterra (Elizabeth, Pa.) qualified for the NCAA Championships in the javelin on Saturday, the third straight year she punched her ticket to the NCAA meet. She becomes just the third RedHawk in program history to make the NCAA Championships three times. She qualified on her third and final attempt of the NCAA East Preliminary first round. Stuck in 23rd place heading into her last throw, and needing to finish in the top 16 to move on to the finals, Paterra rifled the javelin 47.22m/154-11 to make the finals in ninth. She then finished in 10th after the final round as the top 12 moved on to Eugene, Ore., which hosts the 2013 outdoor championships. She will compete at the NCAA Championships at the University of Oregon's historic Hayward Field on Wednesday, June 5 at 8:15 p.m. ET/5:15 p.m. PT (local) and looks to repeat on her First-Team All-America honors from last year.
Paterra has now claimed Miami Female Athlete of the Week twice in her career, also earning the honor once last year.
With Paterra the lone RedHawk still competing this season, this is the last Miami Athletes of the Week connected by Frontier Communications for the season. For a list of this season's winners, click here.

Gallery: NAIAS 2013: Smart Debuts New CityFlame Edition in Detroit
Door detail.
Sound too sporty to be green? Well, the cityflame still features the brand's barely adequate 3-cylinder engine with 70 horsepower and 68 lb-ft of torque. And with a 0-60 time of 12.9 seconds and a top speed of 90 mph, you will still wonder why your smart car only gets 36 EPA-rated combined mpg. But we love the infinite customizable options on the new generation of smart cars, and can't wait for their electric drive tech to outpace their tiny engines. The car will hit showrooms this summer, but for now check out all the cute smarts on display in Detroit in our gallery, and tell us what color combo you would pick.

New Bern aldermen candidates running for Ward 6 got an opportunity Monday to tell voters why they were the best person for the job.
Aldermen hopefuls Jeffrey Odham, Ashley Smith and Barry Evans spoke to about 70 people at the West New Bern Recreation Center and answered 11 questions during a forum moderated by Wayne Lytton of the Kings Row Community Watch organization.
Odham, a native of New Bern and a businessman, said his goal was to bring "a long-term approach" to the city's growth and prosperity. He said he wanted his 4-year-old son to have a good future in New Bern.
Smith, 68, a retired Air Force airman and educator, said the election was not about him; it was about the people of Ward 6 and the city. He said he wanted to bring small "campfire talks" to the office to hear peoples' ideas and concerns at a more intimate level.
Evans, a retired Marine and small business owner, said he believed in term limits and living within the means of a budget.
Odham said he was inspired to run for office four years ago, but backed out when Dana Outlaw decided to run for re-election as alderman in Ward 6. Outlaw, who is running for New Bern mayor, was in the audience Monday night, and all of the candidates said he inspired them.
Odham said he would seek long-term solutions to problems facing New Bern because, in the past, some decisions have been "detrimental" to the city, like a $1 million public pool no one uses, money that could have been used more wisely.
Evans said after watching the way the city was run throughout the past three years, he was inspired to enter the race and stop raising taxes and increasing debt.
Evans said he wanted to balance the budget and work together with the Board of Aldermen. The most important thing was to provide good jobs and to keep the youths from having to go away to find them, he said.
Smith said he has always loved New Bern and wanted to give back to the city for the core values he learned here. His experiences working in school systems in Florida gave him problem-solving skills and the knowledge of what one person could accomplish working with legislators.
Smith said he wanted to increase the quality of life in New Bern and see a growth in businesses.
"It's about serving the people," he said. "That is our job. I think I would do a heck of a job."
Each candidate said the challenges of Ward 6 included jobs and communication.
Evans said property taxes and high utility rates were also a challenge. He said there has to be a skilled workforce created through the community college and high schools to bring industry to New Bern.
Odham said some of the concerns facing the ward are traffic from Craven Thirty once it is built and the need for a sound barrier on U.S. 70 near the Greenbrier subdivision. He said the first thing he would do is establish an electronic forum, through email, to be like Smith's proposed campfire sessions with citizens and give them a voice and let them set the priorities for his office.
Smith said he would rather meet with people than email them; it allows people to relate better on a personal level, he said. If everyone came together, they could create a political power, and united they could solve their problems, he said.
Citywide, Odham said there needed to be long-term strategy and there isn't one and everyone needed to work together on issues; Smith said economic development was needed to keep the estimated $200 million a year from leaving the city and county by residents shopping elsewhere; and Evans agreed, saying "We've got to be more than a retirement center. We need jobs."
Two of the candidates agreed one of the city's most recent follies was a $157,000 branding campaign.
Although Smith said the branding campaign would be a waste of taxpayers' money if it does not pay off, everyone needed to understand what the city was trying to do. By branding, the city was trying to reach into other states to attract industry, and it could work, he said.
Odham said spending that much money to an outside marketing firm to tell citizens what they already knew about New Bern was "asinine" and the money could have been spent more wisely, like having a contest with high school and college students to come up with a brand. The $175,000 could have provided a lot to the educational system, he said.
"The city was in no shape to spend that kind of money," he said.
Evans said the money was not well spent and could have been used to train students for skilled jobs at Craven Community College, he said.
Evans said three things would bring jobs to New Bern: Craven Thirty, Craven County Committee of 100 and Craven Community College's ability to train young people. National franchises were needed in New Bern instead of going to Morehead City, he said.
Something simple was needed for businesses to relocate here instead of fighting red tape, Evans said. The city needs the support of the county commissioners and state legislators to recruit industry, he said.
Odham agreed the city has to make it easier for industry to locate here. Government didn't know what was good for itself and had no place in private enterprise, he said.
The high utility fees needed to be curbed, but that would take economic development and a larger tax base, the candidates said.
Smith said the city was locked into a contract with ElectriCities until 2026 and lowering the high rates would not happen overnight. But a strong economy would help eliminate the high costs, he said.
Odham said the city was using 10 to 12 percent of the electric enterprise funds to run the city and there could be cuts to the city budget to eliminate that, he said.
"If our elected officials don't want to make tough decisions, I will," Odham said.
Each of the candidates also gave their thoughts on revitalizing the Five Points area.
Smith and Evans said the area was looking better, but still had a long ways to go.
Smith said it was the gateway to the downtown area and the old Days Inn Hotel needs to come down; and Evans said there has to be more jobs for people living in that area.
Odham said something needed to be done about the waterfront. People on the water looking at Tryon Palace were also subject to the "dilapidation" of the housing projects next door, he said.
Odham suggested the area where Craven Terrace and Trent Court are be turned into an amphitheater or baseball park.
In summary, Smith said he thought he "would be a pretty good candidate" with his business and military experience and his leadership skills working with legislators.
"I will be a full-time alderman," Smith said. "I wouldn't have spent the last six months learning to be an alderman if I didn't want to work for you."
If elected, Smith said he would respect and listen to his constituents.
Odham said it would be nice being an alderman, but he would not be a full-time alderman because he had a job. However, he said he would listen full-time and people would have access to his email 24-hours a day.
"I've been here 34 years and I know what is going on," Odham said. "I know where we need to go."
Odham said he felt the city government should be run as a business, not like a government. There has to be strict funding and accountability, he said.
Evans said he has lived in New Bern 44 years and was a small business owner for 22 years.
"I'm not standing here saying let's pass it first (matters before the Board of Aldermen) then discuss it," he said.
Early voting begins Thursday and the election is Oct. 8.
