JR: Here comes our guest host Trish Stratus
King: Oh I wonder what she has to say with these three men in the ring.
Trish's music plays and the crowd goes wild. Trish Stratus comes out doing her signature pointing at the crowd and walks into the ring. The crowd continues cheering and Lillian Garcia hands her a microphone.
Trish: Hellooo Toronto!
The fans cheer loudly as the name of their hometown is mentioned.
Trish: Wait a minute, wait a minute,hold on. I think we can do better than that.
The crowd cheers loudly again.
Trish: After all this isn't just any city, this is Toronto, Canada, my home town, your home town and the birthplace of Stratusfaction.
The crowd goes wild.
Trish: So how about we try this one more time? Helloooo Toronto!
The crowd goes absolutely crazy this time giving Trish the biggest pop of the night in her hometown.
Trish nods and smiles: Yea! That's what I'm talking about. You know I'm so excited to be back in a WWE ring.When I found out that RAW was going to be in Toronto, a few months ago, I knew I had to come by and see my old friends and maybe get to meet some new ones.
The crowd cheers once more.
Trish: So when I got that call from Vince McMahon asking me if I'd be interested in being the guest host of RAW tonight I gave him a HELL YEA!!!
The crowd cheers loudly and chants hell yea.
Trish: Cause I've been around this rodeo a few times and I think I know how this goes. In fact I think I'm a pretty good host if I do say so myself.
The crowd cheers in agreement. Trish looks happy.
Trish: I think the show has been pretty good so far and I have a killer main event planned for you guys. Do you want to know what it is?
The fans go wild again.
Trish: Well since CM Punk and Lex Luger both claim they should be number one contender, in our main event tonight, CM Punk will take on Lex Luger in a Number One Contender's match for the WWE Championship. But thats not all... see Chris Jericho you don't have an opponent, but I have arranged you to face John Cena, and that match will kick off the show, so go back and get ready! Now everyone out of my ring!
*The three men leave as we go to commercial. When we come back Trish is still standing in the ring with a mic.*
Trish Stratus: I'm so glad to be back, and can't wait for the rest of the night, it will truly be worth the wait...
Kelly Kelly's music plays and she comes out from the back getting heavy boos from the crowd. Trish looks puzzled. Kelly Kelly walks down the ramp, being accompanied by two bodyguards, as she climbs into the ring, smiling at Trish. She grabs a mic, looking at her bodyguards, as her music fades.
Kelly: Boys, you can head to the back, I don't need you right now.
The two men turn, heading out of the ring, up the ramp and into the back. Kelly turns back to Trish.
Kelly: Trish...it's so good to see you. Why...you look as healthy as ever, and in fabulous shape. What have you done since leaving the WWE? Oh wait...that's right...nothing. You've done nothing. And before you even bring up Tough Enough, that competition was a joke and just away for Stone Cold Steve Austin's ego to be inflated even more. See Trish, you are very similar to another woman in the back. Her name is Sable. Both of you come from different generations. The thing is, once a generation is dead and gone, it needs to stay that way. This is my time!
The fans are just booing Kelly Kelly big time, as she glares at Trish.
Kelly: See, while you were gone doing nothing, I did it all. I was featured on the cover of magazines, I was the star of the WWE video game series, I even held the Diva's Championship. I am the queen diva. Trish, the fact of the matter is, people looked at you as the big time diva. Even till this day, people say "Man that Trish Stratus really spear headed the women's division" The fact of the matter is Trish, you were in the right place, at the right time. You aren't amazing, you are barely even talented. Now myself on the other hand, I am the total package. Brains, beauty, and brawn. You on the other hand Trish...what are you? Some lookie loo from Canada. Yeah, these canadian fans will cheer you, but back in the good ole US of A, all the men want me, and even some of the women do too. Back there Trish, you'd be second rate to my fiddle. I'm better than you in every aspect of the word better. I...
Trish laughs in Kelly's face cutting her off.
Trish: You know Kelly I find it funny that you of all people say that Tough Enough is a joke considering that you could've learned a thing or two if you had been on the show.
The fans cheer loudly.
Trish: You may be better than me at a lot of things, but I've seen your matches and wrestling isn't one of them.
The fans continue cheering. Kelly looks pissed.
Trish: In fact for all your accomplishments you could leave WWE tomorrow and nobody would remember you nor miss you. I on the other hand am the Diva of the Decade...
The fans cheer loudly.
Trish: I'm the only 7 time Women's Champion in the history of this company...
The crowd goes wild at the mention of the Women's Championship.
Trish: And I'm pretty sure that I've been in the cover of way more magazines than you have.
Kelly pouts looking angry. The fans continue cheering.
Trish: The fact is Kelly that you may be the most relevant Diva since I've been gone, but I'm one of the most relevant Divas in history. Oh and Canada's awesome!
The crowd goes wild once more at the mention of Canada and Trish's comeback.
Trish: So Kelly maybe you should call back your bodyguards and have them bring you and sandwich or something because you may have brain and beauty, but you look like you might need a bit more brawns.
Trish smiles as Kelly raises her mic.
Kelly: Oh how funny are you...you want to be funny? I can be funny. You bring up being the Diva of the decade...more like the dud of the decade....
Kelly pauses waiting for fans to laugh but none due, they all just boo.
Kelly: Whatever! I have a more sophisticated humor than you do. I'm tired of this though! Trish appreciation night, Trish hosting Raw. It's like we are trapped in a bad spin off of the Brady Bunch and Trish is Marcia. Well I won't have it Trish. I don't care who you are, what you have accomplished, none of that matters. I am the reflection of perfection, I am the blonde bombshell, you...you are nothing more than Canadian white trash!
The fans in canada are just booing Kelly big time, chanting You can't wrestle.
Kelly: Contrary to your belief Trish...Canada isn't awesome. Canada sucks. Canada gave us Justin Beiber. What kind of evil would unleash that on the world hmm? But I'm done bickering with you. This is my time, this is my ring. Now get out!!!
Trish looks at Kelly.
Kelly: I said Get Ou...
Trish: No! Actually I'm the guest host of RAW today so how about you get out of MY ring before I have you escorted out?
Trish cuts Kelly off, as Kelly looks extremely pissed.
Kelly: No!? NO!?!?!?
Kelly smacks Trish in the face, and Trish responds with a Lou Thesz Press. Trish pounds down on Kelly, as she gets up, posing for the fans as they cheer. Kelly is back up, as she charges at Trish. Trish ducks a clothesline attempt, as Kelly bounces off the ropes, and comes back, getting nailed with a Chick Kick! Trish climbs a corner next, posing, as Kelly Kelly is down in the ring.

So it seems that this is a fault at AVG and the concensus is that it should be sorted out in tomorrow's updates.
Anyone else had this problem?
Edit to add this from the AVG site:
"Currently the update for AVG Free v8 is corrupted... you will have to wait for AVG Technologies to address the issue with the update.
Reporting the issue again by other users here will not do any good util it is resolved.
The updates that your AVG currently have will still provide the protection it is setup to detect. In otherwords, just getting this update will not make your AVG Free ineffective and as soon as AVG Tech resolves the issue you will be able to update to the current virus definitions at that time.
So in short... please do not post to report the issue, its already known. Also please be patient until AVG Technologies can address the issue."

As a result of their athletic accomplishments this season, the Wilson College soccer team was interviewed by a local affiliate of ESPN radio this afternoon. Radio host Gordy Schlotter conducted the interview on campus among the student body in the Wilson College dining hall.
The team shared their thoughts and comments about the success of their recent season. The Phoenix ended the season with an overall 6-11 record, the best record they have had in the past five years. Head soccer coach Beth Weixel started off the interview with an overview of the past, present, and future of the program before handing the microphone off to the individual athletes.
Senior Courtney Bernecker was highlighted for her most recent achievement of breaking the career record for goals scored at Wilson College. Bernecker also recently became the new leader in career points scored at Wilson. Seniors Janelle Wills, Caileigh Oliver, and Brittany Poff commented on the team's accomplishments as well as their individual student-athlete experiences during their time at Wilson. Freshman Teniera Prioleau also added remarks about her first year collegiate playing experience as the Phoenix goalkeeper.
The interview will air on Thursday, October 31st between 1:00pm-4:00pm on ESPN radio 1380AM.

Adding power is addicting. Once you get a taste for it, you end up craving more, and it's hard to stop the madness until the wallet runs dry or you're too scared to drive the thing. Thankfully though, we aren't at either of those crossroads...yet. When we get the opportunity to add loads of "go" for not much green, and when it comes in a small, conveniently sized package that's completely bolt-on, well, now you're talking. There isn't anything better than adding nearly 80 hp in a matter of hours and having the know-how to do it yourself.
Briefly, our project '72 Nova began its life as a limp six-cylinder backed by a two-speed automatic. When we got our hands on it, we immediately swapped out the old powerplant in favor of a low-mileage iron-headed, hydraulic flat-tappet small-block with a Turbo 350 transmission. While the small-block swap was a great upgrade and made a world of difference in the power department-even barking second gear shifts-we wanted more.
With the small-block in, we figured what better way to show the simplicity of adding more power than with the tried and true method of going blown? In our case, it was the best method to making more power on the cheap with the least amount of downtime. Essentially, the build consisted of an elaborate manifold swap and only took us a full day's work from start to finish.
As always, we show you the inside on how it was done and what you might expect when adding boost to your project car. We spent the day at the Vaca Performance & Dyno facility in Downey, California, where the Vaca team helped to complete the build and threw the Nova on the rollers for before-and-after dyno numbers.
Quick Notes
What We Did
Added a Weiand 142-blower to our '72 Nova
Bottom Line
Our once six-bangin' Nova is now a fire-breathing blown small-block.

Dropping or withdrawing from classes can affect both your financial aid eligibility and your award amount.
When you drop a course during the add/drop period, your financial aid eligibility for the current term will be revised to reflect the exclusion of the dropped course. Depending on how many remaining credits you have and what type of aid you have been awarded, your awards may be reduced. You will receive a revised award notification if this is the case.
Your financial aid eligibility for the current term would be canceled entirely.
If you are receiving grants, and you still have one or more remaining courses, your financial aid eligibility for the current term would not change.
If you are receiving loans, you would only remain eligible for your loan disbursement provided you are still registered for at least six credits (half-time). If your enrollment level drops below half-time status before your loan disbursement has been applied to your account, you would not be eligible for your loan disbursement and it would be canceled. In certain circumstances, the College would be entitled to accept the amount of your loan disbursement that equals the balance due on your student account. Any remaining amount would be returned to your lender and would reduce the amount of the principal balance borrowed.
Keep in mind that if you are not maintaining half-time status, you would enter your grace period for repayment of any outstanding loan balance and would be sent an Exit Interview packet from the Financial Aid Office. Once you resumed half-time status, your loans could once again be deferred.
If you are receiving VGAP, CSAP, or PTAP, your eligibility for those grants would not change for that semester.
If you are receiving COMA or any type of federal aid (PELL, SEOG, or Federal Stafford Loans), a portion of your financial aid would be considered as unearned. As a result, you would then owe repayments to the U.S. Department of Education and to the College. You would be notified of the amounts you were responsible for repaying, and would be given a 45-day period to make repayment. If the amount owed to the federal government was not repaid within the given timeframe, this amount would be referred to the U.S. Department of Education as a federal liability. You would not regain eligibility for financial aid at any college or university in the United States until this federal overpayment was satisfied. Meanwhile, until the amount owed to the College was repaid, future enrollment at the institution would be denied. Your original award notice included detailed information regarding the effect of withdrawals on your financial aid eligibility.
As stated above, if you do not satisfy a federal overpayment, you would be reported to the U.S. Department of Education and would be ineligible for financial aid at any college or university until the debt was satisfied. Any outstanding balance due to the College would also need to be satisfied before you could enroll again at Virginia Western Community College, and before any other future services would be rendered.
It is extremely important that you realize that all types of withdrawals can damage your pursuit of satisfactory academic progress. Although withdrawals may not be negative on your academic record, they are considered negative for financial aid purposes. Withdrawals are considered courses attempted, but not completed successfully. Therefore, according to our Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy, withdrawals would count against you in the evaluation of the Completion Rate (67% rule) and the Maximum Time (150% rule) standards for SAP.
It is extremely important that you carefully read the above information in order to become fully aware of the implications of withdrawal. You may also meet with a financial aid representative to further discuss your options and any of the information provided here.
We use VW Alert to immediately contact you during a major crisis or emergency.

It's sweltering here in the northeast, and in most of the country. But a steady crop of cucumbers from the vines I planted in my backyard garden this spring are helping us keep our cool.
Here's the recipe. Enjoy, all!
Cucumber Cake, Indian-Style
Mix in a bowl:
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp powdered cardamom
Mix all the dry ingredients together and set aside.
In another bowl, mix:
2 cups very finely grated jaggery (don't leave in any lumps here)
3 tbsp flaxmeal mixed with 9 tbsp water
3/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup grated coconut
4 tbsp canola or other vegetable oil
1 large cucumber (2 1/2 cups), seeded and grated
Add the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredients, and mix until everything comes together. Pour the batter into a bundt pan and smooth the top.
Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 45 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
Unmold 10 minutes after removing from the oven. Cool thoroughly on a rack, then slice and enjoy!

Earlier this week, CBS Houston writer Claire Crawford wrote a story that raised the question of whether or not one of the Oklahoma City Thunder dancers is "too chunky" to be a cheerleader. The entire story is posted above, and you can read it by clicking each section to enlarge the image. "We are not trying to be ugly," Crawford wrote. "We are just discussing what men like in women, specifically NBA cheerleaders." Even if men do prefer a specific body type when it comes to cheerleaders, embarrassing the young lady seems totally out of line. CBS Houston probably realized that, which is why the story has been pulled. It even ended with a poll question asking readers if they felt she was perfect for the job, could use some "tightening" up, or has "no business" wearing a cheerleading outfit in front of that many people. Just a couple months ago, we learned the story of a Green Bay Packers cheerleader who took a stand against cyber bullying after reading all the nasty things that were written about her on Facebook. Fans are always going to be ruthless, but there's no excuse for the media to perpetuate stereotypes and basically highlight a cheerleader who some may consider to not fit the "cheerleading prototype." I don't see how anyone thought this article was worth posting.
That girl is gorgeous.... Probably just Claire Crawford's jealousy that fueled the article. Notice that there are no pictures of Claire by her name on the article.....
If you like fat cheerleaders date them. I do not like them. If I want to see rolls of fat. I will go to the grocery store.
She is far from fat and does not have rolls. Get a grip she is a beautiful girl.
Is that where your wife works? I notice that you didn't mention anything about your significant other... Does he know you are so negative?
Great comeback to someone who is so ignorant. Way to slap back, Nick!
This is a non story, people come in all sizes, if you don't like how she looks the watch the game. But for me, I would love to meet her and took her out for a big Midwest dinner including dessert.
is Claire Crawford a sports journalist? a fashion consultant? a pimp? her comments, on the physique of a visiting cheerleader, are needless, demeaning, and cruel. she's entitled to her opinion, but this has nothing to do with sports. beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if Crawford doesn't like looking at this girl, she should keep her eye on the ball, and her judgemental mouth shut.
What a totally offensive story. It would seem to me that a woman writer would have a little more compassion and a lot more sense than to write that type of pandering drivel. WAKE-UP.
Someone should write an article on whether Claire Crawford is too fat or dumb to write an article.
Who wants to wager ole Claire is probably the size of the Chesapeake Arena?
Well...I can see that a lot of people trashed the author without taking the time to read her story first. Typical...in too much of a hurry to get your 2 cents worth down on the comment board. Well...your 2 cents? LOL!!! Ain't worth two peas!
The article was pretty much favoring HER...and ridiculing those who thought she was less than desirable. Kind of like many who posted a tirade against the author of the story. what a sad bunch of losers!
And FYI...she's just fine. Cute as can be! Too bad she works for a worthless piece of sht like Bennett!
she is sexy, no doubt about that...I would be watching her more than the game! I don't like skinny cheerleaders...good for her...I would be proud if she were my girlfriend.
Well as they say, ya gotta have a little cushion for the push-in, and there's nothing wrong with that.I for one like some substance on my women instead of being so thin that if they stand sideways in a wind storm you might not see-um.
Get your eyes checked if you see this honey bun as fat. If anything she is pleasingly plump and I love it. For those of you that like slender ladies, they say that the closer to the bone the sweeter the meat. To each his own. I'll take one like this lovely lady so I know I got something to hold next to me. Boy do I enjoy the looks of her.
WTF???? She is really nice. ALOT of men like full figured women and she is far from full figured. TOOOO MANY women want to be like rails.....and that is not good!!!
I like her body, it perfect, not thin, has some meat on the bone. Obviously some men like to see bone on thier ribs. wow! She's a little flat chested but some implants will do.
if she's so supporter of this cheerleader why did CBS Sports in Houston pull the article.

Logitech BH320 USB Stereo Earbuds Offer Unobtrusive Comfort, Ease of Use and Crystal-Clear Audio
Logitech BH320 USB Stereo Earbuds - the first earbuds qualified as Optimized for Microsoft Lync. (Photo: Business Wire)
The Logitech BH320 USB Stereo Earbuds are the first earbuds qualified as Optimized for Microsoft Lync, a designation from Microsoft Corp. for communications devices that "provide a high quality user experience, with 'just works' installation, rich audio and video, and a lower total cost of ownership."
"Earbuds have become popular for listening to music and talking on
mobile phones, so we realize many people prefer earbuds for PC-based
communications," said
Featuring a sleek black finish and brushed aluminum accents, the new
No driver or other software is required — the earbuds are ready just seconds after plugging into any open USB port.
"The Logitech BH320 USB Stereo Earbuds are an elegant choice for those
who want a headset that is barely visible, yet looks good and delivers
an outstanding audio experience," said
Compatible with major unified communications (UC) platforms, the Logitech BH320 USB Stereo Earbuds use five-band parametric equalization on both the microphone and speaker paths for optimal sound quality that closely matches the experience of normal speech in the same room. In addition, active echo cancellation helps make the user's speech clearly intelligible to those on the other end of phone calls and videoconferences. A six-foot cord allows for an increased range of movement during calls.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech BH320 USB Stereo Earbuds are expected to be available in

I noticed this in Opera stable (version 20) but it could potentially be the same for Chrome and Firefox.
Simply put, Flash video playback is terrible. As much as I'd like to switch to the HTML5 player in YouTube, there's a current active issue between YouTube and Opera that is blocking the HTML5 player, so the browser insists on using the Flash player.
Similar thread here: http://forums.adobe....message/6305593
I can't reproduce this in IE11, since over there it automatically uses HTML5 which plays beautifully well.

By Emily J. Weitz
Robin Saidman didn't really plan to open a small business in the Cove in Sag Harbor. But when the space opened up between Marie Eiffel and Fingers and Saidman noticed the way the light hit when it spilled through the windows, he saw an opportunity. By a small stroke of grace, he happened to meet his business partner Sharone Komoroff, a few days later. Komoroff has her own shop in the city, Pachute, where she carries clothing and accessories for women. With her experience in both retail and fashion and his passion for fabrics, Pachute and Duck and Weave joined forces.
"Sharone has a whole retail collection," says Saidman. "Partnering with her brought me from 0 to 60 in two weeks."
Most of the time, someone who sells shirts by day might choose the off-hours to pursue a passion like photography. For Saidman, the opposite is true. His art has been showcased extensively, but it's only now that he's allowing himself to delve into his passion for fabrics and clothing.
"I am obsessed with fabric and shirts," he confesses.
He's traveled all over the world, capturing the faces and landscapes of different cultures on film. But everywhere he's gone he's also noticed the rich materials. He spent a lot of time in India and Senegal in particular.
"It was no big deal there to take fabrics to a local tailor and get a shirt made," Saidman says. "That was the original idea for this business, but it's morphed." He motions to the rack of shirts, a soft rainbow of muted colors hanging delicately on their hangers. "These are perfect shirts, with an ethnic flavor," he says. "My influences include contemporary fashions like Rag and Bone, Hartford, and 45 RPM." (45 RPM, he explains is a code name for "I'm really hip").
Saidman's obsession with shirts began early.
"In London [where he was born and raised], shirts always had detached collars," he says. "Businessmen would have one collarless shirt and then get five different collars, and wear the same shirt every day of the week, just changing the collar."
As part of the counterculture back then, Saidman would wear collarless shirts as a statement.
So what makes the shirts in Duck and Weave worthy of a fetish? What is the element that takes something from a nice article of clothing to an obsession?
Saidman believes that it's just the right combination of materials, and the process. He gets his fabrics from Japan, and the shirts are made in the garment district in Manhattan. His shirts are 99% cotton with just a touch of polyester.
"The polyester gives it that crinkle," he says. "That gives it the effect of seersucker. They're lightweight shirts, great for a hot and sticky day. These shirts are excruciatingly pleasant to wear."
Before he found a retail space, Saidman was making shirts wholesale. At first he worked with three local shops: Gloria Jewel, Urban Zen, and Isa.Lon. He was making a few hundred shirts at a time, and thought, "Why not make another hundred?" That was how he started thinking about opening his own store.
For Komoroff, who has been coming to Sag Harbor to stay with her in-laws for the past decade, her success in the city made her start thinking about bringing her business out East. She actually had this exact space in mind, but she was in Israel when a man she didn't know, Robin Saidman, signed the lease. She sighed, deciding it wasn't meant to be.
"I let it go," says Komoroff, "and then my friend Annette, who used to run Urban Zen, put us in touch. She said it would be great for us to benefit from each other. So I called Robin the next day, and within the first two minutes it felt comfortable. I took the Jitney out the next day."
Komoroff's mother-in-law, Audrey Orell, is co-owner of the Sag Harbor branch of Pachute, so it's going to be a lot of cooks in the kitchen. But Komoroff adores Saidman's shirts, and won't be selling anything to undercut his wares. The same is true for Saidman.
"I'll sell the same things I sell in the city, minus the shirts," says Komoroff. "We'll sell dresses, jackets, jeans, and jewelry. My stuff is just for women; his is for both."
As a team, they hope they'll be able to serve the community comprehensively.
"The idea is that Duck and Weave is hosting Pachute," says Komoroff. "We'll see how it goes for the summer and hopefully it will work out. It's really like two businesses in one. That's how it will start, and we'll see what happens. I would love to see it turn into something that lasted past the summer."

Overview for Regulated Entities Reporting Directly to EPA
How & When Does It Apply?
CROMERR Applies To:
- Persons or entities that submit electronic reports or documents to EPA.
- Authorized programs that receive electronic reports or documents.
CROMERR Does Not Apply To:
- Documents submitted by fax, magnetic media such as floppy disks, or optical media such as CDs.
- Submissions not under 40 CFR.
What is CROMERR?
EPA's Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR) provides the legal framework for electronic reporting to EPA and states, tribes, and local governments (hereafter referred to simply as "delegated programs") that are authorized to administer EPA programs. CROMERR is intended to reduce the cost and burden of electronic reporting while maintaining the level of corporate and individual responsibility and accountability that exists in the paper environment.
I report directly to EPA. What does CROMERR mean for me?
All EPA systems that were receiving electronic reports as of October 13, 2005, were designated as acceptable to continue to receive those reports for a two-year period. Entities reportering directly to EPA could continue to follow existing procedures to submit reports to these systems until October 13, 2008, or until EPA publishes a Federal Register notice that announces changes to, or a migration from, these systems.
Under CROMERR, electronic reporting directly to EPA requires submission through EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX), or to another system designated by EPA for the receipt of the electronic report in question. If you follow the procedures established by CDX (or another designated system) for document preparation, signature and submission, and your documents are successfully received by CDX (or another designated system), your submission will comply with CROMERR. Your submissions must include valid electronic signatures in those cases where handwritten signatures would have been required for the paper-based submissions, and the electronic signatures will have the same legal force as the handwritten signatures.
For which of my submissions can I use CDX?
Information on the submissions that CDX currently accepts can be found on the CDX website. Whenever CDX or another EPA-designated system is ready to accept additional electronic submissions, EPA will publish an announcement in the Federal Register and will provide information of the procedures for electronic submission of the affected reports. For submissions that CDX accepts, the CDX website will provide instructions concerning the format required for data submission, registration procedures, and requirements for electronic signatures.
What doesn't CROMERR do?
CROMERR is designed to facilitate electronic reporting under environmental programs. It does not mandate that EPA institute electronic reporting or that regulated entities use electronic reporting for reporting directly to EPA, but it also does not prohibit electronic reporting from being required by other regulations. CROMERR also does not:
- Change any substantive reporting requirements that appear elsewhere in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations;
- Change any substantive reporting requirements under authorized state, tribe, or local programs;
- Confer any right or privilege to submit data electronically;
- Require any EPA-authorized state, tribe, or local government program to accept electronic documents;
- Affect the submission of any electronic document via magnetic or optical media (e.g., diskette, compact disk, or tape) or fax; and
- Impose any new or additional signature requirements than required in paper form.

FORT WALTON BEACH — Nothing will be the same at Liza Jackson Preparatory School after the sudden death of Assistant Principal Phyllis Green, but school officials say they are ready to walk students through their grief.
From the moment they walk through the door Monday morning until they head home, students will be given ample opportunities to absorb the change and mourn the loss of Green, said Terri Roberts, the school's CEO.
Green, who had been at the school since it opened in 2001, passed away Dec. 27.
"We don't know quite what to expect, but we'll be prepared," Roberts said. "One of the good things about Liza Jackson is we are like a family and everybody helps everybody."
School leaders met with teachers and staff Thursday for a celebration of Green's life and to outline a plan of how they will approach the first week of school after Christmas break, Principal Mary Gunter said.
"I wanted to meet with the staff first because I wanted Monday to just be for the kids and not for us being really sad," she said.
During Thursday's meeting, they developed a statement that each teacher will read at the start of the day explaining Green's passing. Students also will be told that counselors and psychologists will be on hand if they want to talk, Gunter said.
Two memorials for Green will be in place for students Monday. One will be on the stage in the cafeteria and feature photographs of Green.
The other will be outside in Green's designated parking space. In a nod to her well-known personality, school officials decided to place one of her famous rain boots in the space and fill it with flowers.
Green was well known for wearing the western-style boots while she directed traffic in the morning, Gunter said.
Additional memorial plans at the school have been put on hold for now. The staff wants to get students through the first stages of grief before going forward with anything else, she said.
"We'll let them talk to us and tell us what they want to do," Gunter said.
Roberts said Liza Jackson has not started looking for a new assistant principal yet, but she expected the job to be advertised in the next two weeks.
Until then, she and other members of the Liza Jackson family plan to step forward and help wherever necessary.
"It will be hard, but Phyllis would want us to go on," Roberts said. "And that's what we're going to do."

A cap that's as original as you are
The earthy, hand-wrought look will take you back to the 1920s, when baseball players took to the diamond in pinstripe uniforms topped off with caps that look a lot like this one. Ours has the same swagger as the original, but weve opted for a far breezier, lightweight 52% linen/48% cotton blend that helps you keep your cool when the scores tied at the bottom of the ninth. A 100% polyester mesh sweatband wicks away moisture, lets you concentrate on the pitch without sweat stinging your eyes. Play ball!

Best Uses
I wear it with a sleeveless shirt and shorts. Tops off that summer look.
Best Uses
I'm a cap wearer on my time off. Most of my caps are caps of present and past major league teams. These are all made of heavy weight material that makes them very hot to wear during Texas summers. I really like the lighter weight Duluth cap. I have a very large head size (size 8), and it is very difficult for me to find an adjustable cap specifically made for big heads like me. This is a great cap, and I wear it often.
Best Uses
Great hat, just what I was looking for. Its free of logos and has a great classic look. Its nice and lightweight to protect you from the sun without making your head sweat. The cap covers the back of your head a bit more than your standard ballcap but I liked the look and so does my wife.
Best Uses
Unique color and design. Goes with anything you wear. Fits great.

The book mostly uses NXT-G with NBC for the I2C and legacy RCX two wire powered sensors. We discuss Robot-C and show some examples of it too, but it is mostly a hardware oriented book.

San Diego U.S. Border Patrol agents battle a primitive hazard on the U.S.-Mexico border: rock throwing. Smugglers will give kids a few pesos to hurl stones and bits of concrete at agents in order to distract them. Meanwhile, a few miles away, the smugglers move their illicit cargo into the United States.
In Washington, lawmakers in both parties use a similar strategy when piecing together immigration reform proposals. They throw in an inflammatory item that they know will be controversial so they can deflect everyone's attention away from the really crucial element of the proposal. Americans fall for this trick every time. We're largely ignoring what we should be talking about. And what we think is important really doesn't matter much.
What does matter to politicians? You already know the answer. It's always about the money. Democrats get money from labor and Republicans get it from business. Those are the interests that are going to be protected.
In the Senate, a bipartisan group of lawmakers proposes doing four things: building a pathway to citizenship for the nation's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants; improving legal immigration by making it easier to retain high-skilled immigrants; tightening restrictions and penalties on employers to prevent them from hiring illegal immigrants; and creating a temporary guest worker program for the agricultural industry.
In the House, another bipartisan group is working on a similar piece of legislation.
And finally, the White House is now circulating a draft of its own immigration proposal, which seems to take a harder line than expected. The plan would give illegal immigrants the chance to escape deportation by becoming a "Lawful Prospective Immigrant." But immigrants would still have to apply for such status and not have it granted automatically, as some reformers demand. Nor would the path to a green card be as quick as the reformers would like; immigrants could get their documents in about eight years. Citizenship would take even longer. When all is said and done, we're likely talking about 10-13 years for someone to go from illegal immigrant to U.S. citizen. That isn't exactly like the express lane at the supermarket, no matter what critics say.
Naturally, the proposed pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants is all anyone is talking about. How long should it take? How difficult should it be?
Yet the real deal-breaker – the guest worker plan – is something that isn't getting much attention. The immigration debate doesn't revolve around border security or what restrictionists call "amnesty." It revolves around the idea of bringing into the United States a few hundred thousand temporary foreign workers to do what George W. Bush used to call "jobs that Americans won't do" – primarily on farms and ranches.
For politicians, guest workers are where the money is. Labor wants to kill the idea, and business wants to save it. And both sides are prepared to spend a fortune to get their way. Negotiations between the AFL-CIO and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are going nowhere. Neither side will budge on the issue of guest workers.

Thought finding a Bifold with Money Clip was a lost cause? Think again! We heard our customers loud and clear, so we've introduced our own to help keep your items organized and secure. Our Bifold with Money Clip is made with genuine leather inside and out with turned edge construction and hand folded corners. Inside are 6 slots for credit, debit, and business cards, along with 2 pockets for receipts. In the middle is a blade clip for keeping your currency organized and in place. A modern take on a traditional favorite, this Bifold with Money Clip is sure to be a hit with anyone looking to simplify their wallet.
Zita is our most elegant and enduring leather collection. This Italian Leather is fully vegetable-tanned & aniline dyed, allowing the hide's natural character to shine through. The deep, varied coloring and the hand-glazed finish gives it a rich look that'll develop into a beautiful patina providing years of enjoyment. Combining a firm hand feel with a smooth grain, Zita is one of our top quality leathers.
Love this wallet. Stylish and sleek. Keep valuables secure and looks great. Was pleased with the blue color when saw it in person.
This is my second purchase for my nephew. It is a confirmation present - love having it personalized. My first purchase was for his brother, also for his confirmation. He loves it! It is very well made and great quality. Would definitely recommend.
My fiancee loved it! Just what he wanted. Its not too bulky and the money clip makes it perfect.
The wallet is a gift and I haven't given it to my husband yet. I'm hoping that the leather on the wallet lasts. Fingers and Toes Crossed!
I have had money clip card wallets before but now this one is perfect. Front pocket for me or back pocket if you prefer. I'll get another one in other colors.
This wallet with spaces for 6 cards, but will take 2 times more = 12 cards with 2 in each slot, plus the 2 spaces-one on each side for your business cards! Wow! The choice of two leathers in an array of colors with your gold initials if desired which I got!
Sensational Product! On top of all of the above, I have a very well positioned money clip that will take many bills comfortably! This wallet leaves all of my previous ones standing in the dust!
Fully loaded with all of your credit cards plus your business cards and your "Long-Green" cash included, placed into your side,front pocket, it feels extremely comfortable!! Thank you Leatherology for a very fine product!!!
Sincerely, Peter Kelsch - Your happy customer!
Very high quality and exactly what I was looking for
This was a gift for a gentleman with very specific tastes. Finding a great quality wallet with the inside money clip feature is difficult. This one exceeded expectations. Exceptional quality and the monogram is great! He loves it! Thank You!
to big for front pocket
good service,excellent quality
Beautifully monogrammed and packaged
Almost just what we were looking for. Other than what is held in the clip, there is no provision for bills.
Quality and presentation are beaufiful, and immediate service was out standing. M.J.
Product was great. Very nice quality. On-line ordering was great and arrived when it was scheduled to arrive.
I got a wallet for my husband add a Christmas gift and he loves it. He is very particular about his wallet too. Thank you for the great craftsmanship that went into this product and when he needs another wallet, I'm going to Leatherology again.
Good quality leather. Husband is very happy. He had to double up on the cards in each slot but it worked well they are easy to remove when you need them.
Wallets for the most part are a hohum gift. However, that being said, it was exactly what my husband wanted. What I was really taken with was the presentation. Nicely boxed and the added wrapping inside was a great touch. Nicely done!
This was exactly what I was looking for as a gift for my dad.
The wallet leather feels nice and soft, it looks great too.
Really soft leather and embossing looks great!
Bought as a gift for a 40-year-old professional dude; he loves the soft leather feel.
The wallet lis exactly what I expected.
The wallet is well-constructed with high quality soft leather. It fits perfectly in my front pockets but is large enough to accommodate larger foreign currency bills (i.e. euros).
The leather on this wallet is supple and soft and the overall quality of the wallet is very good (although I just started using it so I can't speak to how it will hold up over time). Nice design too.
The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is that the color is darker than it looks online. It's still a nice color, just not exactly what I was expecting.
It was a pleasure to work with Leatherology.The quality of the product is verY good and I received it in three days. I will purchase my future leather products from Leatherology and will recommend them to my friends.
I ordered this wallet for my boyfriend's birthday and did not think it would arrive in time since I had it monogrammed but it arrived 8 days early. I was very happy with this, as I thought I was cutting it close with his birthday. I got the "blind" monogram, because I was worried the gold or silver would be too much for a guy. It looks great! The package presentation was great, the wallet came neatly in a box with a rubber band holding it closed -- it looks good. I am happy with my purchase and think my boyfriend will like it as well -- I am yet to give it to him!
Very good
This was exactly like my husbands old wallet he loved. Fast shipping. I would buy again from this site.
I bought this wallet for my Honey as a surprise and he just loved it. I have saved your site as a favorite
I like the quality but dislike having to "flash" the cash every time you open the wallet for a card. At a gas station its like screaming "rob me". Also the pockets are about 1mm too small making it hard to get a card out especially if there are two in the pocket. I'm still trying to like this wallet as my wife bought it for me but....
I've been looking for a wallet like this forever. My last one last 15+ years. You can't skimp when it comes to quality. We'll worth the money.
Nice quality but the money clip is too small to handle my soft bills. And I think the cost is too high. I returned it for credit.
Quality was better than expected. I'm happy with the money clip.
I bought this bifold with money clip for my uncle's 80th birthday. The quality of the material and construction is first rate. It looks and feels great. It is very attractive and stylish. I would recommend this product.
This was a great Birthday gift for my husband! He loved it, my only regret is that I didn't get it monogrammed!
This wallet is what I've been looking for. The leather feels and looks great. Having the money clip on the inside saves fabric wear on my jeans and is very comfortable in a side pocket.
Delivery was very prompt. I'll definitely look to Leatherology for my next leather product.
Comfortable fit in the pocket, more useful credit card and ID slots.Most secure money clip, as the magnetic can drop all of your money on the floor upon retrival. Great Product !!!
Thanks for the beautiful product and great service. Package was carefully and attractively boxed.
This pocket clip is one of the nicest I have ever seen. Having the clip in the middle instead of on the outside is a stroke of genius. I have used pocket clips for years and this is the best yet. The quality of the leather is so good I had a follow up order with a standard wallet. Highly recommend this product.
It's a good quality wallet however color didn't match picture on website ....
High quality leather.Very practical.
Quality = Superb
Service = Superb
Everything is outstanding as it should be for an overpriced product,
Spent a lot of time trying to find a bi-fold money clip and this is it. Not bulky, well made.
Would buy again
I have been trying to find a specific type of wallet for my husband. When I found this one I purchased it in the hope it did the trick.
Well, he couldn't be more pleased and the quality is outstanding, we are both very happy.
The product is beautiful and the packaging is very nice. It's the perfect gift.
Quick service, great quality. Proud to pull out in public
Wallet arrived within 4 days of ordering online. Nicely packaged. Wallet is just what I had spent weeks looking for online and in stores. Seems of good quality (but time will tell). Just the right amount of slots for cards.
Nice wallet - like the money clip option
Simply put, I'm 100% satisified!
My boyfriend has been looking all over for a wallet like this to replace his worn out one. I bought it for a Christmas gift. The quality of this product is excellent. After reading other reviews I had it monogrammed and I am happy I did. It looks very classy and the packaging made a perfect gift presentation! He loves it!
Looks amazing in person. I got it for my boyfriend with the monogram and it was so nice. Quick shipping and great packaging. Highly recommend this wallet as a gift or for yourself!
This product arrived promptly and in beautiful condition- very pleased with my purchase!
Wallet arrived quickly after ordering. Everything was correct. I am saving the item for a Christmas gift. I hope my husband enjoys it.
wow wow wow !!! beautiful i love it , i bought it for my husband as a surprise he didnt c it yet but i love it and i am sure he will too. its so soft and thin exactly what he wanted !!!
Slim, efficient, perfect. If you're searching for a minimalist wallet look no further.
Very beautiful wallet. I like the money clip style, which is hard to find. Fast shipment.
Great Wallet! Fast shipping!
I am very pleased with the wallet and money clip. Quality is very good and the clip has strong tension. That is very important. The last clip I had was always losing money. This is my first time using your product and I a very stisfied.
Best wallet ever! Very compact and good quality.
I bought this for my boyfriend just two weeks ago and he loves it! The first thing he did was call me and show his coworkers. Very satisfied with the quality of this wallet!
This wallet is made of buttery-soft leather, and the color is very rich. I got it as a gift for my husband and the monogram turned out nicely. Only issue is that I think he would have preferred a cash slot in the back instead of the money clip - perhaps Leatherology could design that style at a later date.
Great. Everything I hoped it would be from the pictures online.
Very nice product!
Bought one for my Dad. Loved it so much, I bought another one for myself. It's absolutely beautiful, the leather is exquisite. I love it.
My husband loved his wallet, says the leather is so soft he doesn't even notice it in his back pocket when he sits down. He said no one had ever given him a birthday present so nice.
Excellent quality, fast service,even with monogramming
Very good quality, as advertised
Excellent quality and construction. Elegant yet unpretentious. Fits well in trousers or jacket, nice profile.
Absolutely perfect for my needs. Top quality.
I replaced a Cole Hahn wallet with money clip that I had carried for years. It only had four interior credit card slots but had two pockets accessable from the exterior. This is a very good product that I would heartily recommend, and if it had exterior access pockets would rate a full five stars.
Very pleased with product, bought as gift for husband.
excellent in every way,the product was just as described ,the color was beautiful and with the monogram it looked very classy, the shipping was fast.
The wallet was perfect. My husband has been looking for a wallet with a dollar clip built into the wallet and couldn't find it for years. Yours is perfect and we shall tell our friends about your company. Thank you.
Awesome quality, slim and very comfortable. Well pleased! Thanks!
Shipment was ahead of schedule even during the busy holidays!
Hubby was absolutely impressed (and he's hard to buy for)! Excellent quality. The best Christmas present I could have got for him!
Love it....my husband loved the momogram!
My husband really wanted a leather wallet with a money clip inside. It was impossible to find! When he opened up this wallet, he was thrilled. The leather is really soft and great quality. Wonderful find!
It was incredibly soft. alot softer than i expected. lots of room too
little bigger than i wanted.quality, service and presentation was outstanding.
Perfect gift for my soon-to-be husband! Thanks :)
This wallet is even prettier in person than on your website. The leather is a beautiful color and very, very soft!
A quality money clip within soft leather, cut in the perfect size. It is just what i was looking for, the feeling i got after opening the package and i love it. I should have gotten a monogram.
Sturdy with just enough room for all my cards and holds my cash.

The Global Mobile Enterprise Application Development Platform market will grow at a CAGR of 25.29 percent over the period 2013-2018.
The report, the Global Mobile Enterprise Application Development Platform Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas and the EMEA and APAC regions; it also covers the Global Mobile Enterprise Application Development Platform market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
One of the upcoming trends in this market is the emergence of cloud-based mobile applications. The emergence of cloud-based mobile enterprise application development platforms has enabled organizations to increase their efficiency and reduce the cost of deploying valuable IT infrastructure.
According to the report, one of the major drivers in the market is the high adoption of mobile devices. Mobile devices are not seen as a luxury anymore; they are seen as a business requirement. It is important for employees to have access to the company's secure information during their travel to many business meetings, and hence it becomes mandatory for organizations to provide access to secure data on smartphones.
Further, the report states that the diversity of the mobile landscape is one of the main challenges that the market faces. A mobile enterprise application development platform has to work in synchronization with many devices, OSs, and firmware, with each running different applications for different processes. Enterprises might even face difficulties in interacting with other departments such as back-office systems and networks.

IT data is typically silo'd by the various tools in place. Unifying all the log, metric and event data in one analytics platform stops finger pointing and provides the end-to-end correlation. Logs, metrics and custom event data can be joined to tell the holistic story of your software and operations. For example, users can correlate code deploys to system performance to application error codes. In his session at DevOps Summit, Michael Demmer, VP of Engineering at Jut, will discuss how this can...

Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
