Vet Tech Program Added at UWRF
By Kendra Knutson
OCT. 9, 2006--The University of Wisconsin-River Falls College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences has added a new veterinary technology program to its roster of majors.
Because of the program, UWRF was the right choice for sophomore Sarah Burton who wanted a hands-on career working with animals.
"I chose the veterinary technology program because I didn't want to go to school for eight years to be a veterinarian, but I still wanted a career working hands-on with people and their animals," said Burton, from Menomonie.
The program was approved this past May. It gives students a shorter school term option while still being able to work in the veterinary field and receive a bachelor's degree, according to Larry Baumann, professor in the animal and food science department at UWRF.
While the veterinary technology emphasis is still new, six to eight students are currently enrolled or interested in enrolling. Baumann has been the driving force behind the vet tech program. "Students who want to work with animals as a career can now get a degree without the full route of becoming a vet," said Baumann.
The program is designed so that students will spend about three and a half years at UWRF taking general classes with the animal science major and then will go on to take another year and a half of the vet tech classes at Madison Area Technical College (MATC) or another university that offers them.
Students who complete the program earn a a bachelor of science degree from UWRF as well as a two-year associate degree in applied science from Madison Area Technical College or another university with the vet tech program. Currently a partnership exists between MATC and UWRF for the program since MATC is the only college in the state that offers these courses.
"The work I have done with Madison Area Technical College has been a pleasant experience," said Theresa Theobald, a junior from Sheboygan Falls, Wis. However, some students have also chosen to go to Argosy University in the Twin Cities.
Baumann said they are working to have the vet tech program become nationally accredited. As part of the program students must intern in a veterinary clinic for the entire summer. Students can also use the program as a segue to other degrees.
There are basically three types of degrees in the veterinary field. First, is the two-year degree (A.A.S.), which will enable students to become a veterinary technician. The second is a four-year bachelor of science (B.S.) degree with students becoming veterinary technologists. Last, is the seven- to eight-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) degree with students earning the licensed veterinarian status.
Students with a B.S. degree can expect to make about $5,000 more per year than those with an associate's degree, said Baumann.
Most veterinary technologists will work in companies and corporations than in clinical practices, says Baumann, and often they take a career path in pharmaceutical company research laboratories. Veterinary technologists usually serve as supervisors of the veterinary technicians. The demand for veterinary technologists is becoming greater due to the creation of so many new drugs and products on the market.
" I would say that if a person wanted to help animals but is not as strong in areas such as chemistry, the vet tech program would be a good option," said Theobald.
Burton agrees. " I would definitely recommend this program to others because it is a well organized program that not only gives you the chance to get a bachelor's degree but builds on the pre-vet classes," said Burton. " I would like to work at a veterinary clinic, with mostly small animals and a few large animals. I would like to do what veterinary technicians do and even more."

Isabela governor wants Padaca to inhibit from his poll case
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – Isabela Governor Faustino Dy III has filed a motion before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) Wednesday asking Commissioner Grace Padaca to inhibit from his election protest case because she has "personal interest" in it.
Dy had previously filed a motion before the Comelec Second Division asking that the May 2010 election protest case against him filed by Padaca be considered as "abandoned and/or withdrawn."
The motion however said that Padaca, a member of the Second Division, had filed her comment which "vigorously opposed the motion filed by protestee Dy."
"Commissioner Padaca hinged her arguments on the allegation and categorical statement that 'if at the end of the electoral protest Dy is found to have cheated, he needs to step down'," the motion said.
"Clearly, Commissioner Padaca … firmly believes that she is still the rightful winner of the last May 2010 gubernatorial elections in the Province of Isabela," it said.
Padaca previously served as governor of Isabela from 2004 to 2010 breaking the hold of the Dy family in the province. She however lost in 2010 when she tried to run for reelection.
Padaca was recently appointed as a commissioner of the Comelec by President Benigno Aquino III.
"Commissioner Padaca cannot sit in the Division where her own election protest is pending. This is a clear case of conflict of interest," the motion said.
"[She] cannot be the judge in a case where she has a personal and vested interest in as shown by her vigorous opposition to the withdrawal and or dismissal of the instant election protest," it said.
The motion asks that Padaca inhibit herself "to avoid any appearance of impropriety and remove any cloud of bias."
The motion was filed by Dy's counsel Maria Bernadette Sardillo who previously declined being appointed as commissioner of the Comelec.

If you visit this website
you will find a lot of useful information about what you need sailing in different countries. Since you somehow, somewhere must cross the English Channel, where the current can be very strong and there is much traffic in the waters, I will suggest that you select a boat that have an engine that can bring you across the channel in the first place, in case the wind and the current are contrary.
The tidal difference quite large in some places, both in France and on the channel islands, so you will need to plan carefully and be able to calculate the tide both for the port you are leaving and the port of arrival.
On the southern part of the french Atlantic coast, in the Bay of Biscay, there are very few ports, so you must be prepared for sailing around 100 NM from one port to the next. You should absolutely get a pilot-book for the areas you want to sail, like Reeds Nautical Almanac.
I am not very well informed about the prices on boats in UK, but I assume they more or less are close to the prices in Norway. It seems to me that you probably will not be able to get a boat larger than about 24 feet. The bright side being that the cost of calling a port is calculated by the length of the boat.
But I suggest that you first try the inland waters of the Netherlands and the Northern part of the English Channel before you decide to Challenge the Bay Of Biscay.

Nine cities reportedly under consideration for 2018-20 CFB Playoff title games
The College Football Playoff is set to announce the cities under consideration for the 2018-20 title games (following the 2017-19 seasons) on Wednesday evening. But Brett McMurphy, forever the fly on the bowl industry's walls, tweeted out the list a few hours ahead of the announcement.
And those cities are:
New Orleans
San Antonio
Santa Clara
Now, which of three of those nine cities will be chosen to host the title games? That won't be announced for some time, but we can make some educated guesses here.
Those in the know claim Atlanta and its new stadium are all but signed, sealed and delivered to host the 2018 title game, following semifinals in the Rose and Sugar bowls.
The Cotton and Orange bowls will host semifinals in advance of the 2019 title games, so we can cross Miami off the list for that championship game. Charlotte also feels unlikely considering Atlanta's likely status as host of the previous year's game. It's also unlikely the Playoff will hold two of its three games in Texas in the same year, so Houston and San Antonio are also likely out. That leaves Minneapolis, Detroit, New Orleans and Santa Clara. Big Ten country is a lock to host one of the two games – lest Jim Delany hold the entire Board of Managers hostage – so let's go with Minneapolis and its own new, Noah's Ark-like stadium.
Finally, the 2020 title game will be preceded by the Peach and Fiesta bowls, leaving all seven of the remaining contenders still in play. Except for Detroit because, come on, the Playoff isn't going north twice. But with the semifinals taking place on opposite ends of the country, it feels unlikely the Playoff would touch either coast again in the same year. This eliminates Miami, Charlotte and Santa Clara. This leaves a great stadium in a bad walking city (Houston), a decent stadium in a good walking city (San Antonio) and a bad stadium in a great walking city (New Orleans).
Let's split the difference and go with San Antonio.
So, there you have it.
2018: Pasadena/New Orleans semis, Atlanta title game
2019: Dallas/Miami semis, Minneapolis title game
2020: Phoenix/Atlanta semis, San Antonio title game
Don't everyone book your hotel rooms at once.
Updated: 6:10 ET
The playoff has officially announced the cities under consideration.

Let's swap our Minneapolis and San Antonio predicts and mark it good.
#TakeASide: Should you adapt your scheme to your players, or should players adapt to your scheme?
Some guys consider themselves spread guys, while others are referred to as Air Raid coaches, or Wing-T guys, or any other offensive system you can imagine. The same can be said on the defensive side of the ball; you have your even front guys, your odd front guys, your 4-2-5 guys, your 3-3 stack coaches, and your 4-3 guys – the list goes on and on.
But what happens when you take over a program where your athletes don't match up ideally with your offensive or defensive scheme? For example, if you don't have three running backs, your quarterback has a cannon, and you're offensive line is big and athletic are you still going to commit to running the full house Wing-T?
Today's #TakeASide asks: Do you adapt your scheme to your players, or do you expect your players to adapt to your scheme?
Again, because there are so many variables in play here, let's say you're interviewing for a head coaching job at the high school level where you inherit a roster and aren't able to recruit to your liking like the college level.
Side 1: You adapt your scheme to your players
In this scenario, you evaluate your roster and the strengths and weaknesses of your players and each position group, and then decide what scheme you're going to run on offense and defense.
Pros: By being flexible, you're putting your players in the best positions to succeed. Nearly every player fits at a position and is given an opportunity to succeed there. Getting players to buy in is easy because everyone has a specific role.
Cons: You end up running a scheme that may fit your players well, but it's not something that you're well versed in, so adjustments are difficult.
Side 2: You believe that players should adapt to your scheme
In this situation, you go into your interview proclaiming that you're committed to a specific scheme, regardless of what the roster you inherit looks like.
Pros: You have a tremendous amount of confidence in the scheme and are able to make the necessary adjustments as the game wears on.
Cons: You don't have the ideal personnel to maximize your potential. Are you putting your kids in the best position to be successful? Getting guys to buy in to your philosophy may be a bit harder.
There is no right or wrong answer here, I simply want to hear where you stand and how it stacks up with the rest of the coaching profession. You can reach me on Twitter @CoachSamz.
Just like we did with yesterday's #TakeASide article, the best comments will be posted below for everyone to keep track of where people stand on the issue.
@CoachSamz @FootballScoop Depends on how good of a coach you are. If you impose your 'system' on a team that can't operate it, you'll fail.
— Gina Genochio (@GinaGenochio) May 27, 2015
@CoachSamz @FootballScoop Yes. lol Especially early in a job you need to be able to adjust to what you have.
— John Maddox (@johnmaddox) May 27, 2015
@CoachSamz adapt to the players. Always what's in best interest of players. Us coaches can adapt to any scheme by studying n work #TakeASide

11 observations from this "United States of College Football" graphic
A few moments ago, @CloydRivers tweeted out this interesting graphic depicting The United States of College Football.
Looks pretty cool at first glance right? I thought the same things, so I retweeted it, and nearly 1,700 other people have done the same. But then I started to notice a few things that don't seem quite right.
Here are my 10 initial observations from the graphic:
- The geography of the Michigan programs is all wrong. Michigan and Michigan State should trade places on the map and so should Central Michigan and Western.
- Really clever use of the Florida State and Texas logos on the map.
- No love for Colorado State? They did win 10 games last year…
- Of the eight FBS programs in the Buckeye State, Ohio State is a no brainer, but why Ohio U over Cincinnati, or Toledo, or any of the others?
- Could Vanderbilt's logo be any smaller?
- Why not include the absolutely dominant small college programs like Wisconsin-Whitewater (D-III), or Mount Union (D-III)?
- Why are the logos for Minnesota, Arizona, Nebraska, Illinois, Texas and Washington so much bigger than everyone elses?
- Houston got the shaft too! But hey, UTEP is included..and don't try to tell me geography was part of the selection process because UNI is basically in Canada.
- Who is the Indian head logo in between Minnesota and North Dakota State? That spot could easily belong to Utah..another program that got snubbed.
- Instead of some of those FCS programs in the great plains area, the Bison logo from NDSU should be disproportionately larger to properly illustrate their dominance of the FCS ranks.
- Hey Hawaii, since you're not part of the continental US, I guess you can't be a part of this graphic. Tough luck.
Reports: The Texans will be featured on Hard Knocks. Here's what you can look forward to
The Houston Texans have reportedly been selected as the featured NFL franchise for this season of HBOs Hard Knocks. Believe it or not, Hard Knocks is entering it's tenth season. The first episode with the Texans will air in August.
If the reports are accurate, the Texans were chosen over the Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins, who were the other two rumored finalists.
Not only can we look forward to having cameras in the coaching offices of Bill O'Brien and his staff, but, of course, Houston is also home to defending NFL Defensive Player of the Year (and quote / workout machine) JJ Watt. Since Watt is the unquestioned NFL king of this past off season, viewers will be sure to enjoy this season of the show.
Since it's been nearly a year since the last episode of Hard Knocks aired, let's take a look back at some of the show's more memorable moments.

Republican presidential candidate and Texas Gov. Rick Perry said he will roll out an economic plan in the coming days that focuses on removing barriers to domestic energy production. The real key is opening more areas to energy exploration, Perry said. "We are going to be focused on initially the energy industry in this country and making [the U.S.] again independent," he said.

Carrie Underwood's Husband Traded to Her Favorite Place: Nashville!
Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations and General Manager David Poile released a statement regarding Fisher's move.
"We were seeking a top-six forward, and Mike Fisher was the player we set our sights on," Poile said. "Mike's playoff experience will be invaluable to our team, and he immediately makes our team stronger and deeper."
The move couldn't be to a better city in Underwood's eyes. She recently opened up to Detriot radio station WYCD about her and Fisher's love for Nashville, according to OK! Magazine.
"We both love Nashville," she said. "I envision myself living there long after I have kids and long after I'm done singing and all that stuff, just because it's a great place to live."
She continued, "You can work, you can write, you can record, you can shoot videos and all that stuff, but you can also find land and spread out a bit."
Underwood and Fisher wed last July in Georgia. But while the newlyweds continue to work and settle into their new Nashville home, Fisher will also be busy making the trade a worthwile one for the Predators.
According to the team's press release, the Predators acquired Fisher from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for the team's first-round pick in the 2011 draft and a conditional pick in the 2012 draft. The conditional pick is Nashville's third-round selection if the Predators win one round in the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and turns into a second round pick in next year if the team wins more than two rounds.

Then, evidently in the level where they are alone doing world-building or whatever, they decide to stay on for 50 years. Why is it that this level doesn't have people besides them? Shouldn't their "projections" populate this level? Why is it that they were able to keep their people-as-projections out of this level?
I'm not sure why Limbo was unpopulated, probably because it was less "dreaming" and more "coma."
From what I understood, Mal starts treating this world as reality and locks the totem away. How does Cobb remember that this is a dream? He doesn't seem to have an individual totem of his own? Are we to take it that he doesn't somehow succumb to the dream-world's charms?
Mal was "enjoying" Limbo so much she locked the totem there, inert, which implanted in her the idea that Limbo was reality.
So anyway Cobb decides to do something. What is it? It involves him going into that house-replica and open the safe and do what to the top? And why does it work?
Cobb spins the totem. He must've deduced it was the reason why Mal was so accepting of Limbo as "reality" in spinning the top he puts in her the idea Limbo is what it is, a dream. Unfortuantly this carried over into the real world.
It works because it's the rules of this movie's world.
(After thinking a little, all he does is set the top spinning. Since this is a dream, it will continue spinning and so whenever Mal next chooses to open the locker, she will see it still spinning and realize that this level is a dream. Is that correct? But she will also realize that somebody else has tampered with the totem - how would she know that this is the same top as her totem? Couldn't a projection (either of herself or Cobb's) go in and swap the totem out?)
She may have simply never gone back to check the safe.
Ok - so anyway, the idea that they are in a dream - she gets it. But (in a different sequence in the movie) they are shown to be old. So how do they die (since the kick thing doesn't apply to this particular set of dreams) in that world-building level?
apply. They just never used it because they were having a goog time. As for the age thing, movie "magic"/story-telling shrug off. They couldn't die of old age, since they weren't really aging, and the sedative they were on didn't preclude kicking from working, much like the climax of the film.
Who's the architect of the 50-year dream that Mal and Cobb are in and who's the dreamer?
Limbo was nothingness. They built what was there within their own minds.
Only Ellen Page and Cobb enter the 4th level - but whose fourth level do they enter? The third-level Mal's? Page's? Cillian's or Cobb's? (I thought that they entered third-level Mal - who is just a projection of Cobb's, so in effect they are entering Cobb's as architect and dreamer as the 4th level with Page joining in for the ride. So - how come Cobb finds himself at the same world-building level as Mal? Would all his attempts at 4th levels lead to the same place? I would think not - Dreams differ from time to time? How would he be able to "visit" the same dream-level at a later "period" from the previous time he had been there? I'd think what really happened is that he "recreates" the world-building level including projecting Mal as he remembers it.
Dialogue in the movie indicates that if they were to fall into Limbo it would be Cobb's limbo since he's the only who's "been there." Saito wasn't dead since you can't die in a dream, only fall to limbo.
Here the movie cuts away from the decision. Did they tell us how one can "escape" from Limbo?
You can escape from limbo, you just need a kick to do so/not be on a heavy sedative where dying won't wake you up.
Just because it's futuristic doesn't mean it's practical.

The actively water-cooled plasma facing components (PFCs) of the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator consisting of the first wall protection and the divertor systems have a total surface area of about 265m2. The complex 3D geometry of the plasma and plasma vessel with 244 vessel ports dedicated to diagnostics, heating systems and water-cooling pipe-work together with the need to minimize the space taken and the significant heat loads expected on the components presents significant design and manufacturing challenges.The actively water- cooled divertor, made of 100 target modules, has an area of 19 m2. Each target module is formed from target elements made of CFC flat tiles bonded with the bi-layer technology to CuCrZr heat sinks. In total 16,000 tiles are bonded to the 890 target elements. A full-scale target module prototype has been manufactured to validate the design, the selected technological solutions and the inspection methods to be used in the serial module fabrication.About 30% of the target elements have been delivered and the production of the remaining elements should be completed by 2014. The fabrication of the components of the first wall protection, 320 stainless steel panels and 170 heat shields, is almost completed.

Board amends last year's budget
Spending went over by $37,409
Knee deep in numbers for the next budget year, Brady school board members were forced to take a step backward and make some changes to last year's budget.
In a special meeting Monday night, the board had a public hearing on amending the 2008-09 budget by $37,409.
After no one spoke, members voted to increase last year's budget.
Superintendent Bill Porter explained that more money was spent on distance learning costs than was anticipated and the board is required to make things add up correctly with the state.
Amending a budget is not uncommon but it's a practice Porter wants to avoid in the future.
He said for the past three years, the district has been required to amend its budget.
In 2006-07 the amount was nearly $400,000. For 2007-08, the amendment was for roughly $180,000 and this year it has dropped to just over $37,000.
The over-expenditures is getting better but it will not be good enough, Porter said, until there is no difference.
"There were some big bills last year that didn't get paid until late in the school year," Porter said. "That doesn't work very well. You need to pay the big stuff early so you know what you've got left for the smaller things."
The $37,409 difference in last year's budget will come out of the school's cash reserve that could have been carried over for the next budget, Porter said.
That drops the district's cash reserve to just about $187,000.
"That scares me," Porter said. "We are in a recession. What if we don't collect the amount of taxes we're supposed to?"
But what's done is done, he said, and now the district has to plan better for the future.
"School financing is a guessing game," Porter said. "You have to really pay attention to how well you are guessing and stick to the numbers. We don't want to be amending this budget next year."
The school board will have a budget workshop on Sept. 1 to begin looking at preliminary numbers for 2009-10.
A public hearing and approval of the budget will be on the agenda for the next regular monthly meeting on Sept. 14.

Self Moving Advice: 10 Things To Remember When Moving
Advice For Your Move
The US Census Bureau reports that on average, people move 11 times in their lifetime. There are so many variables at play in each move, that even after moving multiple times, it can still feel overwhelming. We're here to help you make your move stress-free and help you remember all the little details. With most people using self-moving services these days, we have compiled our 10 best pieces of self-moving advice to help you through the process.
Self-Moving Advice: 10 Things to Remember When Preparing to Move
- Get Parking Approval. This is number one on our list because it's so important. Regardless of the type of equipment you use to move your belongings, you'll be tasked with making sure there is a safe, legal place to park it. If you have your own private parking (like a driveway), approval probably isn't required (unless it's a rental). However, if you plan on parking on the street, in an apartment complex or storage facility parking lot, or if you have a Homeowner's Association, you will be required to check on the parking situation. While some circumstances just need an "ok" from your landlord or HOA president, some require permits from the city or alternate parking arrangements. (Don't forget that this applies to the destination too).
Prepare for the unexpected. There are so many variables at play during your move that even the slightest change in plans have the potential to throw you for a loop. When you pack your essentials bag (with all the stuff you need to keep with you during a move), err on the side of packing too much. Be sure you bring any medications, clothing, and personal electronics you will need. If you have one extra buffer day built in before you start your new job, why not be prepared just in case something happens – pack some work clothes in your essentials bag just in case you need them. Think through some possible "what ifs" and pack accordingly.
- Choose your dates wisely. When planning your move-out date, we recommend working backwards. Start with the date you want to unload at your new home, then work backwards for your transit time, loading and unloading time, and an extra buffer day or two. If you're moving to start a new job or school, or you have a hard deadline for being unpacked, then you will want to either a) plan for a few extra buffer days so you have a little wiggle room, or b) use our guaranteed service. With U-Pack Guaranteed, you will know exactly when to expect your belongings at your new home. Without the guaranteed service, you'll get an estimated arrival date, that could vary a day or two either way. A U-Pack representative can help you determine the best date for your move based on your circumstance. Call us at 1-800-413-4799 for help with this.
Take care when scheduling help. We recommend that your move breaks down like this: Your equipment gets dropped off at your home, and then the moving help arrives the next day. You have three business days to load, so even if you wait a day for your help, you'll have two full days for loading. Whether you have family and friends coming to help, or you are using moving help, scheduling them like this ensures that you aren't waiting on the equipment to arrive so you can put your help to work.
Look at your house for specialty items. As you pack, make note of any items that may be difficult to handle while self-moving. Pool tables, pianos, or heavy pieces of furniture may require special packing materials or expert help.
Use up your non-moveable items. There are certain items that you can't ship (see the Do Not Ship list), like perishable food or cleaning products. Start using them up now so that you don't have to throw them out on moving day.
Contact utility companies. Scheduling for your utilities to be shut off and turned on is similar to scheduling your moving help. Give yourself a buffer day. So if you are planning on being out of the house completely on Wednesday, have your utilities turned off on Thursday. If you want to arrive at your new home on Tuesday, have them turned on Monday if possible. For non-essential utilities, like your cable or satellite, you might want to wait until after you get unpacked so the technician has room to work.
Budget for "extra" costs. After you pay for your move, there may be travel costs, like hotel and food to plan for. If you're moving with U-Pack, the only "extra" costs are those you'll encounter on the road. However, if you're moving using a rental truck, don't forget to budget for fuel for that truck. Those big trucks can be gas guzzlers, so check out our fuel estimator to see how much money to set aside for fuel. Or skip that worry all together and let U-Pack do the driving.
Locate the important places in your new hometown. If you're moving to a new town, there are some places you'll want to have mapped out already. We recommend making a list of the essentials before you hit the road. From the closest grocery store to your home, a pizza place (pizza is the official food of self-moving!), the hospital or urgent care, and a hardware store – just make sure you have a list of the important places you might need when you arrive. This post mentions some great places to start.
- Plan for kids and pets. Begin setting aside any crucial items that your kids or pets will need during the move. If there is a toy that your kiddo needs to have with them, make sure it doesn't get packed up. Be sure you set aside any medications, snacks, and food that you'll need to keep everyone happy. And for your pets, make sure you keep a leash, their carrier (if applicable), and food bowls out for the trip.
If you follow our self-moving advice, along with our helpful moving checklist, you should be all set for your move.

And clearly the run-in has rankled Bafana Bafana's record scorer.
"Banter is part of football, but I think when you disrespect,
that crosses another line. For Roger de Sa and Eric Tinkler, former
players, to behave like that, I think that should be thrown out the
game. That is why they are coaches at Wits and not the Gavin Hunts and
Steve Komphelas of this League," McCarthy told Super Sport.
He continued: "They know what they did, I don't have to spell it
out. If they want to get nasty, I can get very nasty, because what I
have achieved in my career in football, and what they have achieved - if
you want to compare medals and achievements and money, then I would be
glad to join in that conversation because I know I would come out right
on top.
"Eric Tinkler thought we were still team-mates in the national
side, I even forgot that we played together in the national team. He
tried to be smart so I had to put him in his place because when you as a
player are getting pushed around left, right and centre by the opposing
coaches, then me, I must defend myself. He is lucky I didn't slap him!"

Agent, team unable to reach middle ground
Updated: March 10, 2005, 6:02 PM ETBy Len Pasquarelli | ESPN.com
Unable to continue carrying his lofty salary-cap charge and unwilling to pay him a $2.6 million roster bonus due Friday, the Packers on Thursday released two-time Pro Bowl safety Darren Sharper, ESPN.com has learned.
While anticipated for the past few weeks, the move is no less painful for the Packers, the only team with which Sharper has played in his eight-year career. The Packers and agent Joel Segal negotiated into Thursday but were not able to reach middle ground. Green Bay had sought ...

What does it mean to be "wholesome"?
I've asked this already but didn't get a specific answer.
If a guy calls you cute, innocent and "Wholesome" what exactly does he mean?
Most Helpful Opinion
He means you're a morally good person. You aren't a bad person, in other words. Now, depending on HOW he said this, he either thinks that's a great thing, or he's being condescending and means that he prefers girls who AREN'T so "good". Without knowing this guy, it's hard to say what he meant by that. But anyway, he thinks you're a good person, in all-in-all, so take that how you want to.

What do you think about notus ?
May be this two libraries could be merged to something powerful :)
What about using boost::polymorphic_cast which retranslated to dynamic_cast on debug and static_cast on release ?
So there will be no require fo RTTI for release and the code will be smaller.
John Torjo
1. I took a look at notus a while ago -- and it seems just too generic for me. Perhaps that has changed, I could take a look when I have the time
2. I'm using dynamic_cast, since you could choose to derive from multiple classes at once -- and you can already see quite a few window classes that do multiple inheritance.
In this case, dynamic_cast is a must.
> and it seems just too generic for me
1. That's why win32gui has future :)
2. Maybe there is some way to compile without RTTI ?
The reason for this is that the names which are created with RTTI take too much space in the executable and there are names of the classes in the executable.
Anyway the executable can be compressed very well :)
John Torjo
1. Thanks :)
2. To tell you the truth, I have never tried. But due to the problems I had a while ago, I woudn't recommend it.
In fact, a while ago, I did avoid dynamic_cast. However, some applications crashed -- debugged it, and I realized this was the cause -- dynamic_cast is a must for non-trivial apps.
2. Maybe dynamic_cast can be avoided by using virtual functions ?
Or for instance using self RTTI, e.g. like MFC, or using GUID for each class which wants to use 'RTTI'.
It's not that I do not love RTTI.
I do not love that a quater of executable is used not by code but by names for RTII :)
John Torjo
dynamic_cast can't be avoided -- as said, I tried.
As for the RTTI taking 1/4th of the executable, I've never looked at the space needed by RTTI, but I certainly hope it's not that much!
>As for the RTTI taking 1/4th of the executable, I've never looked at the space needed by RTTI, but I certainly hope it's not that much!
I hope too.
But take a look for instance at cross builder.
I have found that a half MB is taken by names of exception and RTTI.
It's a quater of the whole executable. :)
Please take a look about this.
I gues dynamic_cast problem can be solved without the RTTI.
By the way this is the reason why the compressor can compress executable from 2Mb to 300kb ;)
WIth respect,
The custom RTTI is fairly easy to implement in non-generic legacy libraries like MFC (well, it doesn't even use the multiple inheritance). You can put anything you like inside the .lib files and enjoy using only class interfaces without caring much about the internal details.
However, the whole thing is different with the generic libraries - the heavy template usage force your own code to use the same conventions and policies as the library's internal achitecture. That means basically that all users are FORCED to use the whatever RTTI implementation but not the standard C++ one.
(Not to mention that the custom RTTI is also a source of hundreds of ponential bugs, and this is all just to reduce the executable size!)
As to the RTTI overhead - I agree that sometimes this is a pain in the behind, but not really a serious issue considering the compression ratio for the executables. You may also use the mighty UPX compressor for deploying the small utilities.
John Torjo
I certainly agree.
As for compression, if you make a setup kit, you can use NSIS (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsis) -- which also compresses your files quite heavily.
The point was to exclude use of dynamic_cast so the RTTI will be the option for the application.
As I see there is no simple solution for this.
It just says that if you develop with win32gui you should always compress the executable ;)

A Long Jump Attack (LJA) is a jump attack that can cover a much large distance within a short amount of time. Not only can it can be used to jump across large gaps, it can also be used to squeeze through a few tight gaps. The LJA is often considered to be a GCN only trick since the easier and more versatile Gale Boomerang LJA is GCN only, however LJAs are not limited to just the boomerang. For example, the Sword & Shield skip achieves an LJA by knocking an enemy into the air, then jumping after it.
Depending on the situation, this can be done as either a human or a wolf.
There are two requirements that have to be met in order for the LJA to succeed, which limits the effectiveness of the LJA somewhat:
The boomerang's gale is treated as a target in the GCN version, as the camera "locks" on to it. However, once the boomerang has been released, you cannot move or press any other buttons or else you'll lose the boomerang as a target.
If you aim the boomerang over a void that has something below it (such as some of the voids in Palace of Twilight), the void LJA method will not work.
In addition, the window in which you can jumpslash and still achieve a LJA varies according to different areas. For example, for the LJA to the monkey tree in the Forest Temple, the window for achieving the LJA is somewhat restricted--requiring you to wait until the boomerang has almost completely returned to Link. While for the early heart piece in the Snowpeak Ruins, you can jumpslash almost immediately after throwing the boomerang and still preform a LJA.
In general, there are three varieties of windows for boomerang LJAs:
For more information on the windows of various LJAs, please visit their respective pages.

Passeig de Gracia is one of the main shopping streest of Barcelona and also the site of many famous buildings including Gaudi's masterpieces La Pedrera and La Casa Battló. It leads from Gracia down to the centre, Plaça Catalunya and Las Ramblas. Gracia has excellent public transport links. There is a metro station located only 500 metres from the apartment with two lines - Diagonal (L3 - green line and L5 - blue line). Furthermore, both streets have bus routes running to all parts of the city.

Our Square's History: John Elger's Development, 1853–59
By the end of the 1840s building in Rutland Gate had petered out, but early in 1851 an agreement was drafted between Elizabeth Manners and John Elger, who had been developing the adjoining Kingston House estate since the mid-1840s, for completing the southern part of the street. However, it was not until 1853 that work got under way. Several houses were started in the autumn, and soon afterwards Elger bought the freehold of all the remaining vacant ground from the Manners family.
During the next six years the whole of southern Rutland Gate was built up by Elger , together with Rutland Mews East and West and a roadway linking Rutland Gate with his development on the Kingston House estate. It was presumably at this time that the high brick wall along the south side of Ennismore Street was built, shutting off Brompton Road and its northern hinterland from the exclusive culs-de-sac opposite Hyde Park.
SLEEPER: This apartment has a 5 foot bed in bedroom

My husband and nine-year-old daughter stayed at this flat for six days during April vacation. It is a small, cozy, and clean one-bedroom on a quaint, upscale street (the three of us were very comfortable, and the flat can easily accommodate a family of four too.) The location is ideal, five minutes from Knightbridge and South Kensington tube stations and near shops, restaurants, three museums (the V&A, the Science Museum, and the Museum of Natural History) Kensington Park, and Harrod's. There are a number of good restaurants and pubs in the area, including Maroush, Sale e Pepe, and A Bunch of Grapes, several grocery stores, and coffee shops. The apartment is well equipped with everything you might need, including a blow dryer. It is on the ground level, but there is plenty of light.
Anne Marie is friendly and very helpful; she greeted us when we arrived and showed us around the neighborhood. She had her driver, who is also available for day trips, take us to and from the airport. In short, we would highly recommend staying in Anne Marie's apartment and will definitely rent it again on our next trip to London.
Everything connected with our stay in "Our home in Knightsbridge" was just made EASY by our host.
From the quick answer to our dates enquiry - The easy way for payment - Being picked up at airport by the charming driver Saeed -
Apartment was not quite ready on arrival but our host took us on a one hour tour to show us around the area -
The apartment is really nice - We wanted to live in a very comfortable apartment with a British feel and it was just that !
The housekeeper looked after all our needs .
Our luggage were looked after on day of departure until we picked it up late in afternoon.
All was So EASY . We would like to thank our host.
We hope to return soon.
Visited London last June and stayed at this absolutely quaint and charming flat. With its lovely and comfortable furniture, I felt like I was home away from home. Very clean and quiet, and all the appliances if not new, looked well-maintained. Whenever I felt like going out for coffee or some refreshments, the restaurants and cafes near the area are just a few minutes walk away from the flat. It's also close to the train station which made my long trips to other parts of London really easy and convenient. I had great time in London and one of the reasons was my pleasant and hassle-free stay in this flat. If only I could extend my vacation!
The outstanding location of this flat cannot be overstated. It's 100 meters from Hyde Park in one direction and 100 meters from Harrods in the other. And to travel around London, there are two underground stations within walking distance and lots of buses to go to everywhere. The flat itself is nicely laid out with an area to dine, a fully equipped kitchen, a sitting room and a bedroom. Everything that is required for a comfortable stay is there! Recommend to anyone anytime.
In particular, the linen and towels supplied are of top quality.
We had the pleasure of staying in Anne Marie's Knighsbridge apartment a couple of weeks ago. The location was better than expected. Knightsbridge is a very posh neighborhood. Very close to the Victoria Albert Museum and the Natural History Museum. Convenient to the Underground. and best of all only 5 minute walk to the best shopping district in London - Harrods, etc.
The apartment had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.
Anne Marie checked in on us to make sure everything was okay.
The driver Saeed met us at Heathrow. He was very nice. He also gave us a ride to the train station when we left London.
There is a great Indian restaurant Haandi only 5 minutes from the apartment.
Another great restaurant is the Penny Black - a 20 minute walk, but the BEST Beef Wellington I ever had!
We had tea at Liberty of London. A bit pricey, but wonderful experience. Loved the crustless sandwiches!
Anne Marie recommended the tour of Buckingham Palace and she was so right! There is a great exhibit of Queen Elizabeth's coronation. Look for the 4-leaf clover on the Queen's coronation gown. After the tour, we enjoyed tea and cake in the garden cafe.
I would HIGHLY recommend Anne Marie's Knightsbridge apartment. I can't wait to return!
My family of three spent nearly a week in this wonderful apartment recently and we truly enjoyed our stay there. It matches all the descriptions and pictures as shown online and is very clean, well maintained and comfortable. Its location cannot be any better. Harolds and other shops, Hyde/Kingston Park, Knightsbridge tube station, convenience stores and restaurants are all within easy walking distance. Anne, the owner of the apartment, is very friendly and helpful. She offered to pick us up at the airport and lent mobiles for us to use in London. When I mentioned to her that there was no proper utensils in the kitchen for us to cook rice, she came back with a brand new rice cooker the second day. In short, we felt like living at home while staying in there. I'll definitely choose to stay in Anne's apartment again should I have a chance to revisit London.

I have a long experience teaching students of all levels and ages. I am patient, friendly, and I strive to make my lessons as entertaining and informational as possible.
My curiosity as a musician has led me to become familiar with most genres of guitar music. I also have an excellent ear and I can pick out any song you are interested in learning right away and make an easy arrangement according to your level.
New York city based guitarist and composer Juan C. immigrated to Miami, Florida at age 21. His work speaks a unique language that blends elements from his early musical experiences in Colombia, as a member of various folk, rock (metal ) ensembles, and his studies in East Asian music fueled by travels and interaction with musicians and artists in China and Japan. Juan's music has been performed throughout South America, the United States and Asia. Although Juan cannot return to his native Colombia, his string duet, "Famous Librarians" (commissioned by Olivia de Prato and Victor Lowrie, was premiered at the Medellín Conservatory of Music.) His piece for electric bass and keyboard, "Glue Pain Ghost," a collaboration with video artist, Jane Hsu, was invited to a world premiere at ...
A graduate of the University of Rochester with a B.A. in Music and Psychology and trained at renowned National Guitar Workshop, Adam is an experienced teacher and performer on the guitar, bass, and piano in a variety of styles, including rock, pop, jazz, classical, and folk. Adam loves to share his passion for music with others, and ever since his first student, an autistic child, Adam has sought to make learning music fun, regardless of age, style, and ability. *** Lesson Details *** My approach to teaching music is strictly an individualized one, catering to the specific interests and goals of each student. I believe that if learning music is truly enjoyable and fun, students will develop a sincere love for their instrument. In teaching children, my emphasis is on instilling in them
Flamenco is the reason I play guitar. It is also the secret of my success in both performance and instruction. At a very early age I was introduced to this most enchanting music. It seamed to speak to me and bring me to wonderful places of mystery and intrigue. I knew at that very instant... That my love affair and journey with the guitar was born. Flamenco is, in my opinion, the most sacred, challenging and dominating of all guitar styles/disciplines. This must be guided carefully and with the utmost attention given to technique. This style of guitar IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. It is for the few that seek the cornucopia of awards bestowed by persistence and hard work. Classical, and other styles of, guitar is a noble pursuits giving doe honor and well deserved respect to the composers and maestros of old. But with Flamenco you will play things that will move, mesmerize and excite people in a way that only an accomplished flamenco guitarist can do. With the guitar you will remind ...
Passionate about sharing my love of the guitar with students of all ages, I've been teaching for more than 30 years. A trained Flamenco guitarist, I found, at the tender age of 7, my passion when I heard the world-renowned Flamenco guitarist Sabicas. Studying Flamenco since then, I began, during my teens, performing professionally and have had the honor of performing with such nationally known musicians as Billy Bang (legendary fiddle player), Willy Calhoun (Living Colour), Vassar Clements Band, Tom Chapin, Stanley Jordan, Buddy Miles, and Michael Powers. In high school, I enrolled in an Honors Musicianship class at the RiverDell, NJ, Senior High where I learned to read scores, conduct and identify multiple instruments, sight read, orchestrate scores and compose music. Following my ...
I don't consider myself a Flamenco Guitarist but I'm schooled for over 5 years in the techniques and styles. I love the music and as an excellent teacher I have an excellent method from my own guitar master that will get you going on your way. If you stay with Flamenco to a certain level, I'll try to help you find a teacher that would really specialize in advanced playing

I've been teaching flamenco for 1 year and my students have gone on to study it in college. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to play the basic rhythms and melodies and as time goes on you'll be able to play complex melodies and arpeggios as well as improvise over any chords you learn. I specialize anything related to Paco de Lucia, typically using sheet music, and have the following tools available for your lessons: sheet music and a lot of musical motifs. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

CDO Misselling:
In Cassa di Risparmio della Repubblicca di San Marino SpA ("CRSM") v. Barclays Bank Ltd ("Barclays"), Case No: 08-757, High Court of Justice, Queen's Bench Division, the court provided a clear summary of the legal principles that apply in CDO misselling claims, particularly if contractual disclaimer is at issue. Barclays sold CRSM four sets of AAA-rated, credit-linked notes (the "Notes") in 2004/early 2005 having a total face value of €406 million. The Notes matured in 5 to 7 ½ years. In exchange for the principal value of the Notes, CRSM received a coupon for approximately Euribor + 0.95 %. CRSM's central claim was that although Barclays had sold it the Notes on the basis of an AAA-rating that Barclays intended it to rely upon, and upon which it did rely, Barclays knew through internal modeling that the Notes had a probability of default equivalent to B-rated instruments. CRSM further alleged that Barclays deliberately structured the Notes to maximize its own profits.
Barclays's expert witness testified that this practice – known as "credit ratings arbitrage" – was widespread in the structured finance sector during the boom. In many U.S. courts, the claimants have argued successfully that banks engaging in such practices acted fraudulently.

Men with partners increase the space they feel comfortable with between themselves and an attractive woman if exposed to the bonding hormone oxytocin.
René Hurlemann at the University of Bonn in Germany and colleagues gave men either a sniff of oxytocin or a placebo before asking them to choose the ideal distance for an interaction with a woman. The distance that they felt was comfortable significantly increased after sniffing oxytocin, but only for men in relationships.
The team conclude that oxytocin discourages partnered but not single men from getting close to a female stranger.

Lazio coach Edy Reja is upset about the appointment of a sports shrink to his staff.
President Claudio Lotito's employment of a sports psychologist infuriated the players and tactician ahead of Sunday's game with Cagliari.
"I hope this time in the ritiro has helped, both physically and in terms of mentality. I feel as if the team is more united than ever," said Reja.
"I don't think we need a professional psychologist or motivator to find that unity. This is what a Coach is supposed to give and he must take responsibility.
"When I arrived here I certainly found the club a little disorganised. There is upset, the lads are unhappy. We've realised that we need to get ourselves out of this situation.
"From now on, every decision taken within the club will be mine. I do not want interference regarding organisation, a ritiro or team affairs. I am the only one to take responsibility and the players must focus on working and I will motivate them.
"I am completely autonomous. If my decisions are accepted, then that's great, otherwise I can go back where I came. This is where I stand for the rest of the season."

Coming out: Oct. 11 is national day for gays, lesbians to go public
Well into adulthood, Nicole Kent of Oceanside still struggled with her identity, still felt she was living a lie. Denying her true feelings to her friends, family and even herself, Kent at one point married a man, hoping to "fix" the conflicts she felt inside.
"I realized I needed to do some soul-searching," she said.
Eventually, Kent "came out" as a lesbian. Today, she and her partner are raising a 3-month-old daughter and, as facilitator of the support group Circle of Friends in Vista, she is counseling gay and lesbian youths who otherwise might feel isolated and confused.
"If you feel like you can't be yourself but don't want to be accepted for being someone you're not, many teenagers will simply withdraw into isolation, sharing very little with family and loved ones," according to the group's Web site.
That sense of isolation is a major reason why homosexual teens are five times more likely to commit suicide than other teenagers, the Web site states.
Yet not everybody is ready to be completely open about their sexuality, Kent said. Youths may fear that their parents will kick them out, and even adults may have reasons to stay "in the closet," she said.
Those who are thinking about it can find a sense of unity in National Coming Out Day on Oct. 11, when thousands of lesbians, gays, bisexual and transgendered people across the country each year open up to friends, family members or co-workers about their sexuality.
The event has been held yearly since Oct. 11, 1987, when the AIDS quilt was first unfurled in Washington, D.C., and a half million people marched on the capital in support of lesbian and gay rights. Each year on that day since, rallies, speeches, film showings and other events related to coming out are held in cities throughout the country.
Whether it's Wednesday or another day, the decision to come out is a very personal one that people must make themselves at the right time, Kent said.
"I could never say to someone, 'Oh, go ahead and come out; you'll feel so much better,'" she said.
Kent said she does encourage "closeted" people to join support groups where they feel safe to talk, and she reminds them that the many positives of coming out usually outweigh the negatives.
A special day
The San Diego Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Community Center does not have any coming-out events specifically planned for Wednesday, but does have ongoing coming-out discussion groups, including one for women scheduled for 7:15 p.m. that day.
Locally, Pilgrim United Church of Christ in Carlsbad plans to hold its annual Coming Out Sunday today in anticipation of the Oct. 11 event.
Last year, Carlsbad residents Karen Normile and Lori Smith, partners for almost 10 years, came out to their fellow congregants at Pilgrim Church on that day.
"I knew the church was open and affirming, but never made a declaration," said Normile, 39, who has attended Pilgrim for seven years. "It wasn't something I hid from people, but it wasn't something I openly shared, either."
