When using the Resource Loader it can be handy to obfuscate resources' password instead of leaving them in plain text, readable from any person who has access to the loader's configuration file.
Although less useful, it is nevertheless possible to use crypted passwords with the API as well.
This is valid for both JDBC and JMS resources even if the examples only demonstrate JDBC.
The password encryption mechanism is not automatic. You need to configure the crypted password yourself as BTM won't touch the loader's configuration file.
You can get a crypted version of your password with the bitronix.tm.utils.CryptoEngine class. It contains a
main method so you can call it from the command line:
java -jar btm-1.3.3.jar bitronix.tm.utils.CryptoEngine Bitronix Transaction Manager password property crypter Usage: CryptoEngine <password> [cipher] where: <password> is mandatory and is the resource password to crypt [cipher] is optional and is the cipher to be used to crypt the password
You can just give it the password to encrypt on the command line to get its crypted version:
java -jar btm-1.3.3.jar bitronix.tm.utils.CryptoEngine myPassword Bitronix Transaction Manager password property crypter crypted password property value: {DES}oBg90wRyVhWcCrwu51xGmw==
By default, the DES cipher will be used. You can override that from the command line by specifying another cipher as a second argument. Please note that the only cipher that is distributed with the JVM by default is DES.
This is not 100% safe as the password can be reverted. Take this feature as a convenience to avoid leaving an important password world-readable.
Once you have the crypted version of your password, you just need to paste it instead of the plain text version. For instance in a Resource Loader configuration file:
resource.ds.className=oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource resource.ds.uniqueName=oracle resource.ds.maxPoolSize=5 resource.ds.driverProperties.user=users1 resource.ds.driverProperties.password={DES}Tg0f6zsYp2GcCrwu51xGmw== resource.ds.driverProperties.URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE
or in the API calls:
PoolingDataSource myDataSource = new PoolingDataSource(); myDataSource.setClassName("oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource"); myDataSource.setUniqueName("oracle"); myDataSource.setMaxPoolSize(5); myDataSource.getDriverProperties().setProperty("user", "users1"); myDataSource.getDriverProperties().setProperty("password", "{DES}Tg0f6zsYp2GcCrwu51xGmw=="); myDataSource.getDriverProperties().setProperty("URL", "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE");
BTM will automatically decrypt the password before using it to build the XA connection producer.
Only driver property called

Would furloughs slow recession recovery?
Thursday - 1/31/2013, 2:00am EST
The looming possibility of a 22-day government furlough from April to September has a lot of feds up in arms. Scared too. A 20 percent pay cut will do that.
But lots of politicians, private citizens and communities have a major stake in this childish, but deadly serious, game of political chicken. At worst it could slam the stock market and cut revenue for struggling state and local governments.
Furloughing people one day per week (the plan in Defense and many other agencies) would probably make it impossible for most of them (depending on state laws) to collect unemployment benefits. Some people can live with the loss of one day's pay per week. For others it would be a major hardship and the ripple effect of belt-tightening would be hard on many communities. That's especially true for the metro Washington area, which has weathered the recession better than most places because of the large number of federal workers, military personnel, contractors and others in service to the federal family. It would also have an impact on many smaller towns, in Texas, South Carolina, Alabama, Utah, California, Kentucky, Nebraska, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, West Virginia, Illinois and Massachusetts that have large numbers of civilian feds and military personnel at Army, Air Force and Navy bases.
In fact, hundreds of communities in most states would lose valuable tax revenue that would quickly trickle down to all parts of the local economy. In many parts of the country, Defense and the IRS are major, if not primary, local employers that drive the local economic engine.
The situation is even more grim because in past shutdowns — like the 1995-96 event — Congress voted to compensate employees for the time they were furloughed through no fault of their own. This time, given the mood of Congress, a furlough may be just that. It could easily be a true furlough: Time off that will never be reimbursed.
Much of the media has covered the possibility of furloughs and shutdowns as if it were a sports event: Democrats vs. Republicans. White House vs. House GOP. We haven't.
It may be another Washington "game" to some commentators, but this is true hardball for feds.
While it's an exaggeration to say that government workers are in a total panic mode or that work has come to a standstill (come on!), it is true that people are worried and getting more so each day Congress dawdles. Some comments:
- "Anyone care to guess where that money will ultimately be removed from the economy? If you guessed disposable income, retirement contributions (TSP) and charitable contributions (CFC), you would be correct. Who will be hurt as a result of this policy? The local economies, the employees themselves and anyone relying on charity. Expect significantly longer delays in getting anything out of the federal service (because the workload won't decrease) while the rate of retirements will go up (those who were hanging on, waiting to get a better high-three/high-five will give up and go. This assertion ignores the decreased payments in taxes, the impact on leave (sick and annual and people already in a "use-or-lose" status.) Roll in comp time and it's going to get ugly, really fast." — Just Me
- "My wife and I have listened to your reports on Federal News Radio and WTOP for years with great interest. Now we need your help. My wife has been a federal employee for over 25 years in a variety of agencies. Currently, she is a civilian DOD employee at Ft. Meade. She has been told that she and all civilian DOD employees will be furloughed one day a week starting 3/1. That's a 20 percent pay cut.
"We are slashing our household budget and our daughter's college savings plan to the bone. This money is gone from the local economy. You know the number of local civilian DoD employees. Imagine the impact on the local economy.
"Why is this not bigger news? What can we do to spread the word? We have written our senators and representative. Do you have any information to share on possible outcomes?" — Tim H.
So what's the latest?
On yesterday's Your Turn radio show we got both inside- and outside-observer reports. Pat Niehaus, president of the Federal Managers Association, outlined the impact of furloughs and told what her front-line members are doing to prepare for it. Federal Times senior writers Sean Reilly and Stephen Losey looked at furloughs, sequestration from a reporter's perspective. To listen to the show, click here.

Bevin Fortuin has confirmed that Free State will play the smart game against Vodacom Western Province tonight, mixing a conservative approach with some running rugby.
The Vodacom Cheetahs come into this match on the back of a 39-28 loss to the Lions. Picking up the points in Bloemfontein will be crucial, as they face a tough run-in to the playoffs with games against the Sharks and Vodacom Blue Bulls.
"We owe ourselves the win after last week's performance," Fortuin told keo.co.za."I think we tried to create a bit too much against the Lions and it did not work.
"We are not looking for revenge for the Newlands game two months ago, but are rather trying to lift ourselves after the loss at Ellis Park."
The benching of specialist fetcher Kabamba Floors and the inclusion of a lock on the flank in Barend Pieterse indicates the Vodacom Cheetahs will play a much tighter game. However, Fortuin insists that they have not abandoned the running game which has made them one of this year's most exciting teams.
"We will still play running rugby, but I suppose you could say that we will be more conservative at the start.
"I think Willem de Waal has been unfairly labelled as a conservative flyhalf, as he gives us a lot of options on attack. He is a well-rounded player with a great tactical game and his kicking out of hand will play a big part in tonight's match."
While De Waal may aim to turn the Province forwards around and kick for territory, Fortuin is certain that there won't be any high-balls put up on the dangerous WP back three of Joe Pietersen, Sireli Naqelevuki and Gio Aplon. Aplon was named Man-of-the-Match for his counterattacking efforts against the Bulls last week, and the Cheetahs will be reluctant to give him any extra space.
"I have played both with and against Gio, as we were team-mates at Sevens level. I have a lot of respect for him as a player, and we will definitely have to watch him, as well as the Western Province wingers. All three of them are very good Sevens players.
"Kicking to them would be the wrong option. We must ensure they receive as little ball as possible."
The weather should be perfect for this encounter, and so conditions will be optimum for running rugby. But the real contest will be in the line-outs, where Cheetahs hooker Richardt Strauss will have four jumpers to aim at in Corniel van Zyl, Rory Duncan, Barend Pieterse and Darron Nel.
"You don't have too many scrums during a game of modern rugby, so the line-outs are the primary platform of attack," Fortuin said. "Rassie [Erasmus] realises this and that is why he has gone for more options in the line-out. It is vital that you secure possession on your own throw."

Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer has picked Juan de Jongh at centre and Gurthrö Steenkamp at prop for Saturday's Test against Scotland.
De Jongh replaces Jaco Taute at outside centre, while Steenkamp comes into the front row for Beast Mtawarira. The latter player will take no further part on this tour due to a heart condition.
Steenkamp is preferred to start at loosehead ahead of CJ van der Linde and Heinke van der Merwe, who will both sit on the bench. There is no room in the matchday squad for Pat Cilliers.
'It's great to have Gurthrö back. We wanted to select him last week, but unfortunately he was not 100% fit,' said Meyer. 'Gurthrö is experienced, knows the conditions well and is looking forward to returning to the green and gold as he's not played for South Africa for more than a year.
'Juan is in a similar position. Even though he's played in a number of Tests for us this year, he's not started for the Boks since last year's away leg of the Tri-Nations against New Zealand in Wellington.
'My plan has always been to give him a start on this tour, as he's been playing very well lately, and I'm excited to see what he brings to the team on Saturday.'
Meyer added that defensive synergy was at the heart of him keeping changes to a minimum. 'There were some tough calls. I wanted to give some of the youngsters more Tests, but on the other hand we haven't had a lot of continuity in selection this year and we respect Scotland.
'Also when I've changed the backline in the past our defence has suffered and you saw against the All Blacks that Scotland can really ask questions of your defence.'
As expected, Meyer has persisted with Pat Lambie at flyhalf. However, it is surprising to see that Morné Steyn has been preferred as the back-up flyhalf ahead of Elton Jantjies.
Meyer warned of Scotland's intent to spoil their breakdown ball and stressed that they would have to counter that tactic. 'They've got a never say die attitude and are hard to the ball. If you don't get a quick recycle they press you hard and close down your space quickly,' he said.
'The breakdown in Super Rugby is refereed differently. Here it is a battle, so if you don't win the tackle and get the numbers over the ball they can make it very hard for you.
'On attack they're quality side and when they had the ball for extended periods against the All Blacks they were superb. There was a 10-minute period that was the difference. We expect a physical and tough game but winning is non-negotiable.'
Springboks – 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Jean de Villiers (c), 11 Francois Hougaard, 10 Pat Lambie, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Duane Vermuelen, 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Juandre Kruger, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Adriaan Strauss, 1 Gurthro Steenkamp.

Their GF menu is just an allergy chart. It's hard (confusing) to order. I'm not real impressed. I've been twice and haven't been sick. But the worry over what to order takes the fun out of the experience. I'd much prefer a GF menu that outlines what I can eat in a straightforward fashion. That removes the guesswork about ingredients on individual dishes.
4101 Vine Street, Hays, KS 67601
Asked for a GF menu at the door, was at the table within minutes of us sitting down. Pretty decent amount of choices. The waitress was very helpful and remembered I was gluten free and checked on is often.
3129 Miller Rd, Flint, MI 48507
They will print out an incomplete, somewhat hard to follow allergen listing menu for you. I wanted cole slaw, it wasn't on there and their packages didn't contain the ingredient list. I ended up having the ribs and rice. It was not only delicious but I haven't had any problems.
1375 28th Street Southwest, Wyoming, MI 49509
Scary! Opened silverware, BIG bread crumb on fork. When ordering, specified "gluten allergy" & server said "so u want us to go easy on everything?" Really. Talked to manager abt apparent ignorance, crumb on fork & stuff floating in my water. They brought another glass w matter floating in it. Poorly managed, untaught staff & less than ideal conditions. Worst restaurant in the 2 yrs since being diagnosed w CD. Too early to tell if they glutened me but need I say more?
1020 East State Highway 152, Mustang, OK 73064

If your GF don't waste your time here. Requested GF menu and they never brought it. Not wanting to hold up everyone else at my table I ordered a dinner salad with no bread. When I asked about dressings they had no clue. Oil & vinegar is what I had to get.
4610 Gallia St, New Boston, OH 45662
Many options to choose from. However, I get contaminated every time I eat here.

Eat there so often the staff knows my order. I've never become ill after eating there. The GF Napa Chicken is excellent. The fried potatoes are fried in a shared fryer but have never caused me the slightest symptom and I'm very sensitive.
3100 Golf Road, Delafield, WI 53018
251 Kennedy Memorial Drive, Waterville, ME 04901
That cannot guarantee that any menu item can be completely free of allergens, but if you stick to meals with proteins and vegetables they are pretty much GF.

Always a good meal

208 W Service Rd, West Memphis, AR 72301
Waite staff were very helpful. Came in & asked for GF menu, received it right away. I had Blackened Talipia w/o the blackening. It comes w/seasonal veggies & fried red potatoes. All very good. They have vanilla ice cream too. Try it if you ever get to West Memphis, AR.
15151 N Cleveland Ave, North Fort Myers, FL 33903
ok gf menu. Food was decent. Didn't get sick.
15151 N Cleveland Ave, North Fort Myers, FL 33903
Just chicken choices but they are tasty.
528 N 47th St, Rogers, AR 72756
Celiacs avoid ALL Applebees. Their nationwide website promotes their gluten-free options, but one location's failure disqualifies all locations. If we were not with people we had invited (here due to their website info), we would have left when the hostess said they did not have gluten free-my wife insisted they did and they did find and allergen list, but cross contamination had its worst effect on my wife that she has experienced in months.
516 E Llano Estacado Blvd, Clovis, NM 88101
Gluten free menu
1364 Main St, Sanford, ME 04073
Has a list of gf items from their menu. Quite a few items.

I have eaten there many times and have never had a problem. They have a GF menu and servers are knowledgeable.
990 Providence Hwy, Sharon, MA 02067
Applebee's does have a limited gluten free menu on their website, but their offerings are pretty disappointing. I went there for drinks and appetizers (not a meal, so can't comment on whether the GF meals are good) and couldn't get anything to eat because they don't have a separate fryer. No appetizers are safe, not even the chips and queso (because the chips are fried). I don't get the impression that they are allergy-friendly, especially because they list chips and queso and fries on their GF menu...but since these items are fried in a shared fryer, they aren't safe for anyone with more than a mild intolerance. I'd be hesitant to eat any of the food here.
Main Street at Settlers Green, North Conway, NH 03860
Great GF menu....
24 Midway Rd, Cranston, RI 02920
Great GF menu.... Ck it out.....
980 Razorback Dr, Houghton, MI 49931
Be cautious when eating here!!! Their "gluten free" menu has some items that are NOT safe. An updated menu by someone who lives with this issue is needed.
1927 Cliff Davis Drive, Gillette, WY 82718
Not many options, so I always have the same thing.
1000 W Esplanade Ave, Kenner, LA 70065
Had the Margarita chicken minus the queso. Waiter was very knowledgeable. He explained that there are different allergy buttons he has to press when submitting an order and that the food is prepared with extra precaution. It was all very good! No gluten reaction.
2902 U.S. 41, Marquette, MI 49855
Absolutely awful. Zero awareness of a gluten free menu. Atrocious "food".
3129 Miller Rd, Flint, MI 48507
Applebee's is not my favorite.
2800 E 3rd St, Bloomington, IN 47401
Limited but there are some and the menu and food is consistent from city to city and state to state. There is something for the kids and "regular" person or the "picky" eater. A safe bet.
3827 Broadway St, Quincy, IL 62305

Entrepreneurship Courses
The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration offers two courses to support learning about innovation and entrepreneurship at Ohio Northern University and how and why to start a business:
- New Venture Creation (ABUS 4441; ABUS 2221 required)helps students learn how to take an idea they have developed into a launch stage or, alternately, take a business they have already created into the next funding or expansion stage. Students prepare business plans for their ideas and test these ideas by entering business plan competitions at ONU or in Midwest or national venues. Off-campus competitions and mentoring by faculty and ONU alumni are a part of the course experience.
- Principles of Entrepreneurship (ABUS 2221; no prerequisites) introduces students to the entrepreneurial mindset and the challenges of developing a new product, business or process. Students create or select ideas to turn into persuasive speeches or business "elevator pitches." They learn how to turn their great ideas into business opportunities. Student competitions, both on and off campus, are a planned part of the course experience, as are meetings with successful entrepreneurs.
ONU is a member of Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN). Development and growth of ONU's entrepreneurship education efforts have benefited from substantial support of the Kern Family Foundation. For more information, contact Dr. Tammy Schakett, Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurship Program Director at 419-772-2079 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

This double pack contains both Plastic Little and Burn Up!
Burn Up
Maki, Reimi and Yuka may not look like ace crime fighters, and to tell the truth, they're not. For now, they're stuck with the tedious and degrading duty of traffic patrol. All that changes, however, when Yuka gets herself kidnapped. To save their friend and co-worker, Maki and Reimi must suit up in their high-tech, skin-tight battle armor and teach the kidnapper that when you play with fire, you're going to get burned!
Plastic Little
Plastic Little is set on the breathtakingly beautiful planet Yietta, which supports a thriving metropolis of colonists who make their living by exploiting tourists and by exporting the planet's unique resources to the omnipresent Galactic Federation.
As our story begins, the citizens of Yietta are finally about to pay off their debts to the Federation and become an independent colony. Unfortunately, there are those who would rather not let control of the planet slip through their fingers, especially when there are military projects which exploit Yietta's resources...

For the Summer 2015 semester, the date that refundable financial aid will begin posting to student accounts is June 14th. Each student's situation is different based on numerous factors, therefore not every student's financial aid will be posted at the same time.
Please note:
Use your Ivy Tech Debit Card to set up your refund preference at ivytechdebitcard.com
Here is a summary of the refund process:
Step 1: Prior to the refund disbursement date, estimated financial aid appears on the My Account page in Campus Connect (see screenshot below). To get to this screen log in to Campus Connect and click on View Account Balance under the My Ivy Tech section.
Step 2: After the financial aid refund post date, you will know that your aid has posted when your account looks like one of the following two screenshots.
Screenshot #1: All of your aid has been posted. The negative amount due is the amount you will receive back as a refund within 14 days.
Screenshot #2: Partial aid has posted. The negative amount due on line one (Amount Due) is the amount you will receive back as a refund within 14 days. Remaining financial aid should be released at a later date.
It is possible that only a portion of your aid will post to your account, leaving a balance in your Estimated Financial Aid. Reasons for partial aid disbursements include:
Step 3: Your amount due goes from a negative number to a zero balance (not including any remaining estimated aid) and you see the word "Refund" on the View Account Activity page (as shown below in the red section). We "zero out" students in a computer process late at night, every weeknight, until all refunds are processed. After you zero out, it takes 2 business days to transfer the money to Higher One. The transfer of funds usually occurs around noon on that 2nd business day.
Step 4: If you selected the OneAccount/Ivy Tech debit card as your refund preference, you will receive your money on the 2nd business day after Higher One processes the wire (transfer). If you selected direct deposit to your bank, you will receive your money in an additional 2-3 days. If you did not select a refund option, a paper check will be mailed to you within 21 days after Higher One receives your refund from the College.
Follow us on Facebook to see daily updates on refund processing.

Comments about Clement PDX Tubular Cyclocross Tire:
The PDX's are made for Clement by Tufo and as such use Tufo's innovative "tubeless" tubular construction. The tire looks like a traditional tubular from the outside, but lacks a latex innertube present on many high-end tubulars. This helps the tire accept sealant well. It also limits the possibility of a pinch flat.
These tires handle mud very, very well. Not too bad in dry either. They're the best tubular out there for amateur racers in my opinion.
Unlike Dugasts or other high-end handmade options, the sidewalls come pre-treated -- elminating the possibility of sidewall rot.
They're not as supple as some, but can last two seasons if properly cared for.
Oh yeah, they mount very, very easily! Nice and straight.
A worthwhile investment for this New England racer.

Adding 2nd Hard Drive
by rayboyred - 10/31/12 7:36 AM
My Dell Inspiron 531 is running out of space on the hard drive. I'm using the Vista OS. I would like to add a second larger hard drive with Win 7 but keep my old Vista hard drive.
I'd like to make them independent of one another but running them in the same computer. I wouldn't transfer anything to the new hard drive but use it as I do now.
Is this possible to do? What are the complications involved.
I'd appreciate your input.

Ron McCallum:
How technology allowed me to read
Months after he was born, in 1948, Ron McCallum became blind. In this charming, moving talk, he shows how he is able to read — and celebrates the progression of clever tools and adaptive computer technologies that make it possible. With their help, and that of generous volunteers, he's become a lawyer, an academic, and, most of all, a voracious reader. Welcome to the blind reading revolution. (Filmed at TEDxSydney.)

Bryan Habana will rediscover his form for the Springboks.
Habana is a genius. A flawed one, as 2008 has revealed, but a genius nonetheless. That assertion is not hyperbole nor baseless rhetoric. Thirty-one tries in 43 Tests bears testimony to this. But even geniuses have periods where their mortality is exposed and it is at this point where even the most prudent observers start to question their haste in ascribing greatness to the player in question. For Habana, that time is now.
In the latest issue of SA Rugby magazine, on sale Wednesday, former Bok wing Pieter Rossouw, WP coach Allister Coetzee and ex-Bok mental coach Henning Gericke analyse Habana's slump in form and explain why he will bounce back.
Also in the new mag:
– In theory, the Boks should be too strong for Wales, Scotland and England on the end-of-year tour but there are some variables that could cause a shock trip-up along the way. We examine what needs to be done to win three out of three
– A South African XV chosen from Europe's top clubs would give most Test nations a run for their money. We select a side already familiar with northern-hemisphere conditions that perhaps should tour the United Kingdom in place of the Bok incumbents this November
– Springbok hooker Bismarck du Plessis talks about competing with John Smit for the No 2 jersey, the pack's performance in the Tri-Nations, the impact of the ELVs on his game and his relationship with his brother Jannie
– Preparing to poach: When the Australian Rugby Union announced in early September that the ruling related to foreign players in its Super 14 teams was to change, it was taken as an ominous warning to South African rugby
– Former SA U21 captain and Wallabies winger Clyde Rathbone is edging dangerously close to the 'whatever happened to?' category. Repeated injury troubles have restricted him to just a handful of games over the past three seasons. But he's gearing up for a big 2009 and doesn't regret his move Down Under one bit
– The Absa Currie Cup has again witnessed the blooding of new talent across the competition. We look at the players who have stood out in their debut season
– Ross Skeate hopes his time at Toulon will lead to a Test cap but if the Boks continue to snub him, he may well opt to play for England at the 2011 World Cup
– Heyneke Meyer has picked himself up off the canvas after being snubbed for the Springbok job and decided to challenge himself afresh. Sadly, no South African team will benefit from his vast knowledge and the experience gained over a 20-year career. Instead, it's Premiership big hitters, the Leicester Tigers, who are profiting. In this exclusive interview with SA Rugby magazine, Meyer speaks about the decision to ditch a career in the business world to get back to his first love, his meetings with 'quality guy' Martin Johnson and the poor coaching structures in South Africa. He also launches an almighty attack on the 'rubbish' ELVs and gives Bok coach Peter de Villiers some free advice

AYDEN – This is not the same Pamlico Hurricanes that started the year.
It's one that relies on ball movement and teamwork.
Four players scored in double figures to lead the 11th-seed Hurricanes past Ayden-Grifton, 69-61, in the sectional finals of the NCHSAA 1-A state playoffs at Bob Murphrey Gymnasium in Ayden.
"Early in the season, we only had one guy scoring for us," said Pamlico guard D.J. Lewis, who scored 12. "We had everybody scoring tonight and playing as a team."
The Hurricanes (14-12) missed the playoffs last season. Now, they are heading the regionals for the first time since 2008.
In that 2007-08 season, Pamlico marched to the state championship game in
This year's Pamlico bunch was third in the Coastal Plains Conference, and won three straight playoff games.
"It was three straight on the road," Pamlico coach Earl Sadler said. "They are good kids, been through tough times and had some hard breaks. They deserve this."
The Hurricanes will play at Crowne Arena in
Ayden-Grifton started the contest on fire — draining six 3-pointers in the first half.
The Chargers stormed out to a 35-22 lead with left in the second quarter. Pamlico went on a 6-0 run to close its deficit to 35-28 at halftime.
"I told them we need to go on a 6-0 run, and bam we went on a 6-0 run," Sadler said. "This is the most resilient group I've ever coached. They never think they are going to lose."
Pamlico's defense buckled down and the Hurricanes eventually took their first lead, 42-41, after Lewis' 3-pointer with remaining in the third quarter.
Ayden-Grifton answered to regain a 49-44 advantage entering the final stanza.
"(Ayden-Grifton) was hitting some unbelievable shots in the first half, and I told our guys at halftime that if we keep making shots, they weren't going to continue to shoot like that, and they didn't," Sadler said. "They started missing shots. Josiah (Simmons), D.J. (Lewis) and Bradley (Bennett) did an unbelievable job on their perimeter guys."
Pamlico took the lead for good when senior Jermicus Brown drove the lane and flipped the ball in the basket with remaining.
Brown put his team up 61-57 with another bucket on Pamlico's next possession.
"I felt like we needed to get more than a two-point lead in order to feel safe," Brown said. "We went into halftime and said we can't come out here and lose. We came this far and we couldn't let us. We were able to finish it."
Brown led the Hurricanes with 20 points and 16 rebounds. Lewis scored 12, Josiah Simmons had 11, Arthur Randall netted 10, Bradley Bennett added eight and Na'Quan Gibbs had six.
"Coach told us to take it a basket at a time, so we took it a basket at a time," Lewis said. "We just kept clawing and fighting and we got back in it."
Brandon Larry poured in 20 for Ayden-Grifton and Gerami Dixon had 17 points and nine rebounds.

If you are unsure whether your dog is getting enough of the right nutrients in their everyday food, consider adding a multivitamin to their diet. Nearly a third of U.S. dogs take vitamins on a daily basis. However, if your dog is already on a well-balanced diet, it may not need any additional supplements. Check with your veterinary to see what your dog is lacking before you put him or her on a multivitamin. (petMD)

Great 1010 info on the basic supplements any dog would need at some point in their life. One of the standards for my oldest dog Chuck is chondroitin. Without chondroitin he def. feels the wear and tear after a day of playing with the younger dogs.
I have a tried a few different sources for chonodrotin but those from Dr Kruger (not sure if this will work but you can copy and paste it) http://drkruger.com/healthy-joint-dog-formula
One supplement I was surprised to not see on the list is honey. Especially if you live in an area where there is a lot of ragweed, honey can really help with dog allergies among a host of other items as well.
Cool article PawNation! Keep em coming
Good read, but I think you might have missed one of the best canine health supplement in the world today - Kingly Pet Deer Atler Velvet.

Canned pumpkin and metamucil are not really good solutions...Try Slippery Elm (in grocery stores) instead for diarrhea. For constipation, fiber isn't a good answer...because dogs (carnivores) shouldn't eat high amounts of fiber as it isn't healthy for them....just try a different food (avoid ingredients like corn, artificial colors, and heavy grains) or add in some dog-safe homecooked or raw food regularly, guarentee your dog will have more normal bowels soon.January 14 2013 at 11:00 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
DO NOT give your cat hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. There is no safe way to make a cat vomit at home. It must be taken to a Vet and given an injection (often Dexdomitor) to induce vomiting. Many cats have died from people assuming you can do this, And be very careful when giving it to a dog.January 14 2013 at 7:25 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

Inside the Reporter's Notebook: 2014 IT budget passback is much ado about nothing
Monday - 2/11/2013, 5:41pm EST
Welcome to my new feature, "Inside the Reporter's Notebook," where every two weeks I'll dispatch news and information you may have missed or that slipped through the cracks at conferences, hearings and the like.
This is not a column nor commentary — it's news tidbits, strongly sourced buzz and other items of interest that have happened or are happening in the federal IT and acquisition communities.
As always, I encourage you to submit ideas, suggestions, and, of course, news to me at email@example.com.
Nearly two months late, the IT budget passback guidance turned out to be not really worth waiting for.
Multiple agency sources say the annual guidance detailing the Office of Management and Budget's IT policy priorities for the following year is much ado about nothing.
There is only one new requirement for agencies in 2013: By April 15, they must submit a plan to OMB for how they will give their chief information officer more authority over commodity IT spending.
OMB issued a memo in August 2011 telling agencies to give CIOs authority over IT spending for things such as email, data centers and storage. But the memo from then OMB-Director Jack Lew, didn't include any hard deadlines, so by requiring a plan in the IT budget passback, it's a signal the memo didn't have the impact OMB hoped it would.
At the same time, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is creating a bill to revamp the makeup of federal CIOs, both in terms of authorities and numbers of them across the government.
Beyond the CIO authorities deadline, OMB didn't include new requirements or signal any new IT goals for 2013 or beyond.
"This has the least amount of direction I've seen in years," said one long-time CIO, who requested anonymity because the IT passback is considered pre-decisional budget information. "It's not pushing so hard on the cloud, and focused more on shared services and mobile government. I think OMB doesn't want to signal cloud isn't the way to go, but they just are not harping on it."
Another CIO praised OMB's limited IT passback guidance, saying they had enough to do and needed time to work on current priorities.
A former government official echoed the CIO's opinion, saying agencies already have a lot to do with data-center consolidation, cloud, mobile government and PortfolioStat so they should focus on delivering on those goals and not have to deal with new requirements. The source said with sequestration still an unknown and the possibility for a year-long continuing resolution, any new programs would be hard to get started anyway.
But another CIO said the lack of teeth in the passback was surprising.
"I was surprised there was not more emphasis on managing information or technology better, especially with Issa pressing so hard on waste, fraud and abuse," the CIO said. "As far as our priorities, OMB was more passive around data center consolidation and not pushing on us to make major changes. It's all stuff we heard about at the recent CIO Council offsite."
The IT passback included references to continued support for the cross-agency priority goal for cybersecurity and the Digital Government Strategy, but nothing more specific as far as deadlines or requirements.
A request to OMB for comment on the IT passback was not returned. In previous years, they have not commented on pre-decisional budget guidance.
Some may say the lack of details in the IT passback is a sign that Steve VanRoekel's time as CIO is coming to a close.
Several people in the federal community — both inside and out of government — have mentioned in the last few weeks that VanRoekel may be looking for a bigger, better position in government.
One rumor that seems to be prominent is VanRoekel was interested in the OMB deputy director for management (DDM) position. Another rumor involved VanRoekel looking for something in the management or policy area of an agency, maybe a deputy secretary or assistant secretary for management type of position.
With current DDM Jeff Zients seemingly a candidate to be the next U.S. Trade Representative, a replacement is coming. But if you look at the recent events around sequestration, OMB controller Danny Werfel likely is the leading candidate to be DDM as he was acting in the role when Zients was acting OMB director. Additionally, Werfel seems almost to be auditioning for the role with the White House press conference on sequestration last week by testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Thursday with several agency secretaries and deputy secretaries, including Defense Deputy Secretary Ash Carter and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

National team competitions
16-18, 16-13, 25-17, 25-26
EWE Baskets Oldenburg warmed up for the quarter-finals of the EuroChallenge by dispatching Okapi Aalstar 82-74 in their final Group L game.
With the final standings already set - EWE Baskets sure of first and Okapi of third - there was nothing but pride riding on this game.
But Oldenburg might have had theirs hurt as Okapi led throughout the first quarter and well into the second before the hosts came alive to win it in the second half.
The visitors began brightly with Noah Hartsock's three putting them up 8-2, and then two more shots from range from Derek Raivio and Hans Van Langenhove making it 16-8 with 3:49 left in the first period.
An 8-2 response from Oldenburg sent them into the second quarter down 18-16 after Adam Chubb's jump-shot, but it was not until Konrad Wysocki's three-point play at the 6:32 mark in the second period that they took a lead.
Nor did they hold it long as the teams traded blows until the half-time buzzer sounded with EWE Baskets up 32-31.
They started the third period in more determined fashion, with big threes from Julius Jenkins and Rickey Paudling part of an 8-0 run that made it 40-31, but Okapi turned around and scored seven without reply to close it back up again.
The hosts needed some separation and finally got it when back-to-back three-pointers from Dominik Bahiense de Mello and Wysocki made it 57-46 with 1:20 in the period.
This time Okapi did not have a response as Oldenburg went on to make it five wins out of six in the group.
Wysocki led EWE Baskets with 12 points while Paulding had 11 and Ronald Burrell 10.
Ioana Tofi's 15 points led Okapi while Raivio added 14, Arne Steinbach and Hartsock 11 each and Christopher Young 10.
Okapi Aalstar coach Brad Dean
"Congratulations to EWE Baskets. They deserve to go through to the Quarter-finals as they have been the dominant team in our group. We came into the game with a lot of issues and basically just wanted to stay healthy and give a lot of guys playing time. Unfortunately our EuroChallenge adventure has come to an end, but we will learn from it and use the experience next season."
Okapi Aalstar player Derek Raivio
"It was a close game against a veteran team. EWE Baskets has a very deep team and we are down a couple of men due to injuries. Because we could not advance to the next stage, we only played for our pride tonight."
EWE Baskets coach Sebastian Machowski
"The game didn't have huge meaning, so I am proud of my team that they still showed some fight and played for the win. We wanted to end the round of 16 on a high note and we did. Despite their injuries Aalstar showed that they are a capable team and they stayed in the game longer than we liked. When we found our defensive intensity we managed to build a lead and substitute freely."
EWE Baskets player Kevin Smit
"This was not an easy game for us because we already had the first place in our group secured before this game even started. That made for a rather bad first quarter, which we consequently lost. But we had a couple of good runs in the second and third quarter and that is how we won this game."

Roster Battles
Posted 14 August 2012 - 08:39 PM
RB: Vaughan vs Poole
With all the injuries RBs sustain we'll have to keep three. This comes down to Vaughan and Poole. By all accounts Poole is doing great while Vaughan is being his hard working self. That being said Vaughan has special teams experience and tenure. so it wouldn't surprise me if he won out.
- My prediction: Poole wins
WR: Murphy, Gettis, Edwards, Tutu
I've broken down the roster several ways and I just don't see us holding onto seven receivers. That leave these four battling it out for two spots (I think green will be headed to the practice squad). I know most people are handing Gettis a spot, but that doesn't seem to be the RR way. It's either put up or shut up, and for him to put up he has to get on the field. He doesn't add anything that the other healthy receivers can't give us. As for Edwards, I think he's about were he should be in his development, and I think he has a great upside. Unfortunately, upside doesn't get you a roster spot with this collection of players. Of the four I like Tutu the least, but I see him making it.
- My prediction: Murphy, tutu (I'm ok with any two out of these four. Murphy and Edwards would be my fav though)
TE: Hartsock vs Brockel
I think Barnidge will get the second receiving TE spot, and I see Rosario on the practice squad. That leave Hartsock vs Brockel for the blocking TE/backup FB spot. Brockel has more versatility but Hartsock is the better blocker.
- My prediction: Hartsock
G/C: Blackwell, Byers, Z Williams. Browning, Allan
we know the starters and I see Campbell, G Williams, Pollack as locks for backup spots. That leaves one backup G/C spot available in what I think will be a 9 man line. I really don't know much about this battle, and have heard positive from all of them. I think Byers and Z Williams are the most versatile.
- My prediction (for final roster purposes): Byers
UT: Neblett, Chandler
I see four DEs as definite right now. You know the first three. I'm adding Keiser because he outplayed everyone at the end of last year, seems to be a RR type player, and brings some pass rush we desperately need. I see three DTs as definite: Edwards, Fua, and McClain. After crunching the numbers I see us keeping 4 or 5 DT but probably just four. Since Edward and Fua are both NT. That means the fourth spot probably goes to an UT. Neblett and Chandler fit that bill. I see Chandler heading for the practice squad
- My prediction: Neblett
Safety: Pugh, Smith
Martin and Nakamura have been the best two safeties in camp, which leave the SS position more up in the air. I see Godfrey as keeping the starting gig. As for the backup battle, smith really hasn't doesn't anything of note so far. I don't see Nelson or Sullivan in the mix, and I think Campbell is heading for the practice squad. I had Pugh written off before training camp, but now....
- My prediction: Pugh
CB: Hogan, Stanford, Thomas, Ness
I'm calculating 5 Corner spots on the roster. I think it's possible that it ends up as low as four or as high and six, but I think five is the most likely. Gamble, Captain, and Norman seem to be locks at this point. I'm going to add butler to that mix. This leaves us with one spot for the four left. Ness's concussion is going to hurt his slim chances, but he was filling out as a RR type. I think Hogan has the best upside, but he has to get on the field. I'm almost at a loss on this one. I really hope Hogan comes through.
- My prediction: Hogan
K: Medlock vs Mare
I'm not sure who has the lead between Nortman and Harris, but I think it's Nortman. On top of that the draft pick will definitely win in case of a tie, so I'm penciling him in. Medlock and Mare has gotten really interesting however. So far it seems as if they are in a virtual tie. Sure, ever panther fan is hoping Medlock takes it, but I'm not sure who would win this one if it were tied. Will it be the veteran with a bad year, and a long track record as one of the best in the league, or the one who didn't shank a bunch of kicks for us last year? My brain is telling me Mare, but I really hope it isn't.
- My prediction: Medlock (I went back and changed this name about three times)
Final roster spot:
Assuming that we keep three QBs (we will), and that seven linebackers are being kept for certain roles (Anderson, Beason, Keek, Davis, Onatolu, Senn, Applewhite). That leaves one open position. I'm assuming that spot goes to a defensive player, but I guess it's POSSIBLE that it goes to a WR. That would leave us with the following battling it out for one spot: A. Edwards, Gettis, Norwood, Kearse, Phillips, Reggie smith, Thomas, Ness. I really have no idea where to go here. So I'm going to go with our biggest need. Pass rush. Kearse and Gettis are the last cuts.
- My prediction: Norwood (by the skin of his teeth. I didn't think he had a chance in hell to make the roster a month ago)
That leaves my final roster as:
QB: Newton, Anderson, Clausen
RB: Williams, Stewart, Poole
FB: Tolbert
WR: Smith, Lafell, Murphy, Tutu, Pilares, Adams
TE: Olsen, Barnidge, Hartsock
OT: Gross, Bell, Campbell, G Willaims
OG: Silatolu, Hangartner, Pollack,
C: Kalil, Byers
LS: Jansen
DE: Johnson, Hardy, Alexander, Keiser, Norwood
DT: Edwards, McClain, Fua, Neblett
LB: Beason, Keuchly, Anderson, Davis, Applewhite, Onatolu, Senn
FS: Martin, Nakamura
SS: Godfrey, Pugh
CB: Gamble, Norman, Munnerlyn, Butler, Hogan
P: Nortman
K: Medlock… I mean Mare… I mean Medlock
This post has been promoted to an article
Posted 14 August 2012 - 08:56 PM
I would go with Brockel as the 3rd TE and backup FB. Hartsock offers nothing at TE. And if Tolbert gets hurt, who will be our FB?
I also think Kearse makes it with Norwood being cut. Norwood has shown no reason why he should stick around.
Pugh will be cut and will not make the roster....
Btw, Harris has been outperforming Nortman in camp. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it instead of Nortman.
I agree Medlock will win it since he's been killing it in camp and has been better than Mare.
Anyway, here's what I think it will look like atm:
WR1: Steve Smith - David Gettis - *Joe Adams*
LT: Jordan Gross - #Bruce Campbell#
LG: *Amini Silatolua* - Zack Williams
C: Ryan Kalil - #Mike Pollak#
RG: Geoff Hangartner
RT: Byron Bell - Garry Williams
TE: Greg Olsen - Gary Barnidge - Richie Brockel
WR2: Brandon LaFell - #Louis Murphy# - Kealoha Pilares
QB: Cam Newton - Derek Anderson
FB: #Mike Tolbert#
RB: DeAngelo Williams - Jonathan Stewart - (Tauren Poole)
LE: Greg Hardy - *Frank Alexander* - Thomas Keiser
DLT: Terrell McClain - Frank Kearse
DRT: Ron Edwards - Andre Neblett - Sione Fua
RE: Charles Johnson - Antwan Applewhite
SLB: James Anderson - #Kenny Onatolu#
MLB: Jon Beason - Jason Phillips
WLB: *Luke Kuechly* - Thomas Davis - Jordan Senn
LCB: Chris Gamble - Captain Munnerlyn
RCB: *Josh Norman* - Brandon Hogan - Darius Butler
SS: Charles Godfrey - #Reggie Smith#
FS: #Haruki Nakamura# - Sherrod Martin
K/KO: #Justin Medlock#
P/H: #Nick Harris#
KR: Kealoha Pilares - *Joe Adams* - David Gettis

No excuse not to kick it into the end zone from the 35.

Medlock won't make this team if he kicks it to the 10 yd line on kickoffs....(a la mr. Holliday in the preseason opener)

Like 'Killerkat' said no excuse for our special teams not to tackle. They got swallowed up in blocks, Mare cannot hit from outside of 35 consistently at all. Whatever it might be, he just can't.

I do see us bringing in a DT and possibly secondary help after teams trim to final rosters.

Exactly, if anyone watched MNF yesterday, a lot of the kicks were short, but Dallas and Oakland STs had no problem stopping them.
And unfortunately I see someone like Stanford making it over Hogan- hasn't showed anything.

I don't think he will. He has a strong leg and that appears to be a fluke kick. I'd rather give up the occasional short kick if it's for more points on the board, if it came to that.
Posted 14 August 2012 - 09:11 PM
I think Poole is better than Vaughn, but he got a concussion today. There is a good chance he won't play on Friday and it is hard enough for an UDFA to make the 53 without missing a preseason game.
Posted 14 August 2012 - 09:11 PM
I don't see Norwood or Neblett making this team. (Only because Neblett misses 4 games)
I do see us bringing in a DT and possibly secondary help after teams trim to final rosters.
I hope so. Another solid CB wouldn't hurt either.
Posted 14 August 2012 - 09:13 PM
Posted 14 August 2012 - 09:13 PM
Holliday ran right past him and Tolbert wasn't able to get off his block.
No excuse for a guy of Tolberts' stature to not be able to get off his block.
Any who, we will learn and only get better.

the best reviews

what to buy
Inline skates have come a long way since their initial mass-market introduction in the 1980s. General fitness skates are more sophisticated, with larger wheels and soft boots that both breathe and support your foot; meanwhile, specialized niches like speed skating, aggressive (stunt) skating and inline hockey skates have exploded.
If you tried inline skating in the past and gave up on it, you'll be pleased to learn that the skates are more comfortable now and easier to control. Soft and semi-soft boots with a combination of laces, straps and buckles have replaced the formerly ubiquitous hard-plastic shell and its buckle closures, offering a more comfortable mix of support and flexibility. Some high-end skates also come with heat-moldable liners for a custom fit.
Inline skates come in four primary genres: recreational fitness skates, with large wheels and relatively high-cut, supportive boots; speed skates, with low-cut boots and even bigger wheels for the ultimate in speed; hockey skates, with maneuverable mid-size wheels and protective boots that can stand up to direct hits from a flying puck; and aggressive stunt skates, which can be used for many of the same grinds, slides, leaps and other tricks that you'll see being done in any skate park.
Although each type of inline skate has specific priorities to fit its intended use, we still find ourselves looking for similar qualities in the best-reviewed models: a stable, supportive and comfortable boot, with secure and easy-to-manipulate closures; maneuverable, response handling; and reasonably durable wheels on speedy bearings.
The two exceptions are kids' skates and budget skates, usually the province of beginners, which have slightly slower bearings that help you keep the skates under control as you're learning. The best children's skates also have adjustable boots designed to grow with your child, prolonging the useful life of the skates.
Inline skate wheels are sized by their diameter in millimeters. Large wheels are faster, but small wheels are more maneuverable; some manufacturers aim to capture the best of both worlds with a hi-lo setup, which positions smaller wheels in the first two slots for increased maneuverability, and larger wheels in the last two positions for better speed.
Sometimes you'll see a second figure, followed by an "a," used to describe skating wheels. That number represents the skate's durometer, or hardness. The higher the number, the harder the wheels. Harder wheels are more durable, better able to stand up to the constant friction of skating on rough, outdoor surfaces or doing tricks.
Softer wheels are "grippier" and less likely to slide during fast changes of direction on smooth surfaces, making them a favorite of inline hockey players on smooth indoor rinks. The downside is that soft wheels wear out faster, especially if you take them outdoors onto rough surfaces.
General-purpose fitness and children's skates still come with the ubiquitous heel-stopper brake at the back of one boot. To brake with the heel stopper you "scissor" your legs, braking foot forward, and crouch back a bit to press the brake pad against the pavement; the resulting friction slows you down.
Most other skate types, however, are now completely brakeless. That keeps the brake from getting in the way as you race for speed or execute tight, fast hockey or stunt maneuvers -- but it also means you'll have to master different types of braking. For the most comprehensive roundup of inline-skate braking techniques, see the SkateFAQ website.

The MPI EVA Jakarta Field Station
The MPI EVA Jakarta Field Station was set up in early 1999 by David Gil and Uri Tadmor as a project funded by the Department of Linguistics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany. [more]
Documentation of Betawi
Betawi is the indigenous Malay dialect of Jakarta. The speakers were formed from the mixing of ethnicities coming to Jakarta during Dutch colonial times. The inflows were adequately gradual to let the constant stream of immigrants be absorbed into a distinct ethnic group. This ethnic group speaks with their own dialect called Betawi Malay which is different from other dialects of Malay. Nowadays it is only spoken by older people in certain villages on the outskirts of the city. The younger generation tends to speak Jakarta Indonesian. [more]
Center for Endangered Languages Documentation (CELD)
The Center for Endangered Languages Documentation was established in 2009 by Yusuf Sawaki, who was then a doctoral student in the Department of Linguistics. Since 2012 it is no longer being funded by our institute, relying entirely on support from outside sources. Current projects include documenation of the Austronesian language Wooi and of the non-Austronesian languages Iha and Yali. [more]
Bilingual Child Language Acquisition
In this project the acquisition of bilingualism by various children in different linguistic environment is studied. One subproject investigates an Italian/Indonesian situation, and another a Indonesian/Javanese bilingual setting. [more]
Figurative Language: Cross-Linguistic, Cross-Cultural and Cognitive Aspects
The goal of the project is to conduct a systematic in-depth analysis, from a cross-linguistic and cross-cultural perspective, of the linguistic and psychological aspects involved in the use of figurative language, focussing on expressions such as, but not limited to, metaphors, similes, oxymorons, analogies, proverbs and idioms. [more]
Documentation of Kenyah
The objective of this project, co-funded by the Culture Unit of UNESCO office, Jakarta, is to document and preserve two endangered Kenyah isolects, Lebu' Kulit and Òma Lóngh. Few descriptive studies of Kenyah exist, and most of them are unpublished. No thorough description of any Kenyah isolect has ever been produced. The only existing documents in Kenyah are a few wordlists and a Bible translation in one isolect, Leppo' Tau. [more]
Language Contact in Indonesia
Nearly 800 languages are spoken in Indonesia, in addition to Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), the national language. The great majority of Indonesians are therefore proficient in at least two languages, their local home language and Indonesian. This makes Indonesia an ideal location in which to study language contact. [more]
Linguistic Field Work in Riau Province, Indonesia
When I first travelled to Riau province in Indonesia, all I knew about the region was what I had read in one place or another. The population was reported to be mostly ethnically Malay: for example, the Routledge atlas paints the entire province in a solid homogeneous yellow, standing for Malay. And the local dialect, together with that of the neighbouring Malaysian province of Johor, was reputed to be that which formed the basis for the standardization of Malay/Indonesian, the so-called "Johor-Riau Malay".

Documentation of Ternate Malay
Ternate Malay is the indigenous Malay dialect of the Island Ternate. [more]
