That's a bit of a stretch. The core OS as delivered from the distribution, sure, of course excluding services not on your system given by the distro, just a bit of tinfoil but who's to say Canonical isn't handing over your search terms and other user data from Unity for example? It's already going to Amazon, why not the NSA too? And no, I'm just pulling that out of thin air as a hypothetical example.. if it were true you wouldn't know. But after the fact? No. Any OS can be compromised regardless of who made it, especially since you would theoretically run software outside of what was given to you out of the box to begin with, even on Linux not all of some very common software is open source, and that's completely ignoring the obvious issues that can be done as malware. That's discounting any unproven tin-foil conspiracy theories of course.
The point was using OSS in such a case provide assurances that your system cannot be compromised by a unknown backdoor installed by a 3rd-party vendor.

Teen Mom
Jenelle Evans Defends Courtland Rogers: "He's Been Faithful For A Month!"
It's Jenelle Evans world and we're just living in it. This feisty Teen Mom 2 star has taken us for the ride of our lives during 2013, but after two stints in rehab, an epic breakup with her husband, Courtland Rogers, and a tragic miscarriage, Jenelle is happier than clam covered in alfredo sauce, and yes — she's back with Courty. Despite the fact that he was recently convicted of assaulting her. Sigh.
Obviously, Jenelle and Courtland weren't faithful to each other during their estrangement (she dated her ex-fiance, Gary Head), but now Courtland's being accused of cheating on his lady post-reunion! Pshh, as if! Courtland would never stray from Jenelle's loving embrace, and she's taken to the interwebs to defend her man's honor.
"Idc what is posted online," Jenelle tweeted on April 15. "What I know is that Courtland HAS been faithful to me since at least March 16th. That being said, I'm happy."
Looks like Courtland's been a perfect hubby for the past month, so hopefully he'll keep up the good work and resist the urge to scam on other ladies. We know the combination of Uggs and miniskirts can be irresistible, Courtland, but bridle your passions. It's about time Jenelley had some stability in her life!
Do you think Courtland's been faithful to Jenelle since their reunion? Dish in the comments!

Cardinals acquire QB Palmer from RaidersBy BOB BAUM
the associated press | April 03,2013TEMPE, Ariz. The Arizona Cardinals have acquired quarterback Carson Palmer from the Oakland Raiders.
The Cardinals gave up a conditional 2014 draft pick and swapped one of their sixth-round picks this year for Oaklands seventh-round selection.
Palmer reworked his contract as part of his move to the desert, agreeing to a two-year deal worth up to $20 million, with $10 million guaranteed.
New Arizona coach Bruce Arians gets a starting quarterback at a bargain basement price.
But at least the Raiders were able to get something for the quarterback rather than just release him. Oakland acquired quarterback Matt Flynn on Monday in a deal that sent two draft picks to the Seahawks.
The 33-year-old Palmer put up big numbers with the Raiders last season but the production didnt translate into sufficient wins.
In 15 games in 2012, Palmer threw for 4,018 yards, becoming the second quarterback in Raiders history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in a season. He threw for 22 touchdowns with 14 interceptions.
His abilities fit the throw long downfield philosophy of Arians, who inherited a team with a woeful situation at quarterback.
Last year, Arizona had four starting quarterbacks John Skelton, Kevin Kolb, Ryan Lindley and Brian Hoyer. They combined to throw for 3,383 yards with 11 touchdowns and 21 interceptions and a quarterback rating of 63.1 in an offense that ranked last in the NFL. The Arizona quarterbacks were sacked 58 times in 608 pass attempts. By contrast, Palmer was sacked 28 times last year in 585 throws.
The Cardinals have released Skelton and Kolb and have signed Hoyer to a tender offer. They also have signed free agent Drew Stanton, the backup last season to Andrew Luck in Indianapolis, where Arians was interim head coach.
Palmer was the first overall draft pick in 2002 by Cincinnati and was with the Bengals until his trade to Oakland two years ago. In two seasons with the Raiders, he started 24 games, completed 61 percent of his passes for 6,771 yards and 35 touchdowns and 30 interceptions. His career passer rating is 85.5.
Wed like to thank Carson Palmer for his services over the past two seasons, Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said in a news release, and we wish him well with the Cardinals.
For his career, Palmer has completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 29,465 yards and 189 touchdowns with 132 interceptions.
He would be the fourth different starting quarterback to open the season with Arizona since Kurt Warner retired in 2009.MORE IN Wire SportsVANCOUVER, British Columbia.

'South Park' 'Game of Thrones' parody trilogy finale teased in two epic clipsAdd to Favorites | Game of Thrones
Warning: Normal "South Park" levels of inappropriateness in both clips.
The final installment in "South Park's" "Game of Thrones" parody trilogy airs Dec. 4 on Comedy Central. In two epics teasers from the upcoming episode, titled "Titties and Dragons," fans can get a sense of where the "Black Friday Trilogy" is heading.
The above video shows George R.R. Martin conducting a choir of men singing the "Game of Thrones" theme song by using the word "wiener." Because why not.
Below, a different promo shows the Black Friday war finally coming to a head as the doors to the mall finally open.
"The synopsis for 'Titties and Dragons' reads, The doors to the mall will finally open this week and only one gaming device will be the winner on an all-new episode of 'South Park' titled 'Titties and Dragons,' premiering Wednesday, December 4 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.
"Princess Kenny's charm has brought more and more support to the PlayStation camp. Cartman and Kyle have not wavered in their loyalty to X-Box. But now, the wait is over. It's time for everyone who has lined up to seize their opportunity for Black Friday sales. It's going to be a bloodbath and only one side will be left standing."
Have you liked "South Park's" "Game of Thrones" parodies so far?

Moroccan blogger and free speech militant Boubaker Al-Yadib was sentenced to six months in jail and fined $62 by a court in Guelmim. He was charged with vandalizing government property, unlicensed picketing, and assaulting a police officer. Observers believe the charges were fabricated and that the blogger was arrested for covering a student demonstration on 1 December, 2009, and relaying a call by the Moroccan Bloggers Association to mourn the irreversible loss of freedom of speech in Morocco. Al-Yadib, who was on the lam since the December 2009 events of Taghjijte, was arrested on 26 January, 2010; he was extensively interrogated on his militant blogging and associations; he was not officially charged with any crime until the day of his sentencing on 2 February, 2010. The Moroccan Bloggers Association, Reporters Without Borders and other international human rights and free speech advocacy groups condemned his arrest and requested that the Moroccan judiciary reverses its sentencing.
On 7 December, 2009, Moroccan blogger Bashir Hazzem and internet cafe owner Abdullah Boukhou were arrested in connection with the demonstrations that broke out in Taghjijte. Arrest warrants have been issued for eleven other militants.
Al-Yadib's arrest and the recent government orchestrated liquidation of Le Journal Hebdomadaire snapped our attention back from the monarchic initiated ministerial reshuffle in the first week of 2010, which was initially thought to be a positive presage, to the somber reality of today's Morocco. The overbearing actions of the government cast a pall of precariousness on the advent of democratic ideals. The specious democratization argument, it appears now, has been nothing more than an ideological restraining strategy. In essence, the political dynamics operating in Morocco have not changed since 1956. We have been stuck in the interregnum between the independence from the French and the promised democracy. Every new government the king appoints is a tool of harassment, repression, and intimidation whittling away at the resilience of Moroccans to effect community driven change. With every new election, the growing sense that our country is politically paralyzed intensifies. We've turned the page on the years of lead and we are now living the era of Tungsten. The ripple (it wasn't anything more than that) of optimism has officially died. The government's feral attacks on bloggers and independent journalists is an indicator that the tenacious hold of Morocco 'suborn political elite is weakening in the face of an enlightened and motivated younger generation that is chafed by ideological dogmatism and entertains a welling visceral and silent anger at the managers of the country's affairs.

January 8, 1988
In 1981 attorney represents client-parent in a divorce. There are two children and custody is awarded to opposing party-parent. Immediately after the divorce party-parent marries stepparent which results in considerable violence and alcohol abuse at the custodial home. Because of custody proceedings brought by client-parent, opposing party-parent agrees to allow a change of custody with respect to one of the two children. Difficulties in the new marriage of opposing party-parent result in a quick divorce.
Five years later, client-parent brings child who has remained with the opposing party-parent to attorney's office with a request that additional change of custody proceedings be brought. In a private conference with child, child (now age 14) disclosed that child was "sexually abused" by former stepparent four or five years ago. Attorney neither asked for nor does child volunteer details of the "sexual abuse." Child further discloses that child has told opposing party-parent of the "sexual abuse" but has not told client-parent. Child does not want client-parent to know of abuse and feels that it is likely that client-parent will react violently to the disclosure of this information. Opposing party-parent was told of the abuse recently and did arrange for counseling for the benefit of the child.
Change of custody proceedings are discontinued after attorney explains the proceedings and encourages client-parent to contact opposing party-parent and discuss the child's problems. Apparently both parents and the child engage in what could be the most constructive discussions they have had in six years. Child's desire to live with client-parent appears to be based upon normal teenage difficulties that are aggravated by a move to another state, attempted suicide of a friend, and the accidental death of a neighbor's child. There is no on-going threat to the child from the former stepparent and there appears to be no threat by any other member of the opposite sex at opposing party-parent's residence.
Privately, attorney concludes that child is in no on-going danger of sexual abuse; that the abuse is not relevant to the current custody issue; that opposing party-parent is doing as well as client-parent would in assisting the child both with respect to the former abuse and the normal teenage problems (in that child is receiving counseling for the abuse and opposing party-parent is trying to improve communications with child and find a job closer to client-parent's residence); and that child custody proceedings would probably disrupt what appears to be mending of a relationship between the parents and child. Client-parent made the decision to abandon child custody proceedings without knowing of the past sexual abuse.
1. May the attorney hold the private conversation with the child in confidence from:
(a) his client; and
(b) law enforcement; and
(c) the Court.
2. Should the attorney attempt to provide disclosure to his client through direct communication with:
(a) the child; or
(b) the child's current counselor; or
(c) opposing party-parent.
We will attempt to discuss each part of the question separately in this response. We trust the inquiry means:
Does the attorney have a duty to disclose to any of the above-mentioned individuals or organizations the facts, without being asked?
Obviously, the most difficult question which is presented is whether the attorney has an obligation to disclose the information received to his client, without direct inquiry from the client. The attorney owes the obligation of the preservation of confidence to the client (Canon 4), the duty of loyalty and independence of judgment to the client (Canon 5), the duty to act competently (Canon 6), and a duty to represent zealously the client's interest (Canon 7).
The question which must then be answered is whether an attorney is required to inform his client of all information which might be learned during the course of representation. Ethical Consideration 7-10 provides that:
The duty of a lawyer to represent his client with zeal does not militate against his concurrent obligation to treat with consideration all persons involved in the legal process and to avoid the infliction of needless harm.
Correspondingly, Ethical Consideration 5-21 provides in part:
The obligation of a lawyer to exercise professional judgment solely on behalf of his client requires that he disregard the desires of others that might impair his free judgment.
Additionally, Disciplinary Rule 1-102(A)(3) provides that:
In his representation of a client a lawyer shall not: "conceal or knowingly fail to disclose that which he is required by law to reveal."
Weighing and balancing the ethical considerations with the facts involved, a majority of the committee believe that the attorney should reveal to his client the facts learned from the child. The majority recognizes that it is important to no interfere needlessly with the child's future, however, they likewise felt that the first duty owed by an attorney was to his client and that he should reveal facts which may be of relevance or lead to relevant information.
A strong minority of the committee felt that the attorney's determination that the facts learned were not relevant is the telling point in the question presented. They felt that in such a situation where as represented old wounds are starting to heal and the schism that resulted in the 1981 divorce is narrowing, that the revelation of the complaint would only tend to create more problems. They felt that inasmuch as the child is receiving treatment for the abuse and injuries received, and the attorney's judgment that the client would react violently or cause trouble if he or she learned of the past abuse, it was their opinion that the attorney was not required to inform the client of the information he received from the child in the interview.
As noted herein, the committee felt the question very close and would rely heavily on the attorney's determination of relevance in the facts presented. Nonetheless, the committee felt that the general Rule should be for disclosure and that nondisclosure should be employed only in exceptional circumstances as deemed appropriate by the attorney.
The committee felt there was no responsibility upon the attorney to reveal this particular information to law enforcement authorities. The comments of the child referred to events which occurred four or five years ago. The child is presently receiving counseling and the counselor may well be required under SDCL 26-10-10 to reveal the information received. Additionally, the attorney asked for and received no details and indications are the child might be uncooperative in view of her concern that the client-parent would cause trouble. The consequences of reporting this conversation to law enforcement officials should be carefully weighed, and due to the passage of time and the sketchy nature of the information now held by the attorney and the substantial risk of damage to the welfare of the child, it is our opinion that the attorney does not have an obligation to report the conversation of the child to law enforcement officials.
As regards whether the report should be given to the Court, inasmuch as there is presently no action pending before the Court, and as the question of report to law enforcement officers is in large measure the same question as reporting to the Court, the committee would require no report to the Court for the same bases as set forth above.
As regards your inquiry of whether the attorney should attempt to provide disclosure to his client through direct communication with the child, the child's current counselor or opposing party-parent, inasmuch as the majority of the committee believed contact with the client-parent would be appropriate, the need for an answer to this question does not appear. If, however, the information was not revealed directly to the client-parent, and if the attorney has continuing contact or opportunity for discussion, it may be well to raise the issue; however, it would appear to be a judgment call based upon the attorney's evaluation of the individuals involved.
Obviously, the questions you have presented have proven difficult for the committee. The welfare of the child must be given considerable importance and we encourage you to act with that factor in mind. Nonetheless, the committee felt it inappropriate to adopt a general Rule allowing for non-disclosure of information of this nature, while simultaneously recognizing that in exceptional circumstances non-disclosure would be appropriate, and strong argument could be made that your case presents such a situation.

My Friend Greg Coffey, One of the First Faces I'll Look for in Heaven
In The Goodness of God, I tell the story about my high school friend Greg Coffey, who died in a horrible accident in 1971, shortly after he and I both became Christ-followers. Though Greg was two years ahead of me in school, we were in a Spanish class together and got to know each other. He came to Christ his senior year, seven months after I did as a sophomore. Greg and I were both utterly transformed, and we enjoyed radical "first love" discussions of what it meant to follow Jesus. Our whole lives were before us and we dreamed great dreams of serving our King.

Margaret De PattaWhen Margaret De Patta began her jewelry career there was virtually no tradition of handcrafted jewelry within which to work and few of today's supporting and nurturing elements for the arts were present. Within this milieu, Margaret De Patta is further distinguished by being one of the few American jewelers whose work and ideas were allied to the then currently evolving ideas presented in the modern art movement. Her strong motivation to establish jewelry as an informed and personal expression of the highest order led her to become one of the leading spokespersons for the dignity of the metalworkers craft as it developed during the relatively arid environment of the thirties in this country.
Margaret De Patta
(1903 - 1964)
Margaret De Patta was a seminal figure in the American Modernist Jewelry movement. She was a founding member of the San Francisco Metal Arts Guild and is widely acknowledged as a mentor to many of the Bay Area jewelers. Her architectural forms were influenced by the Constructivists. The De Patta cuff bracelet and ring epitomize her use of simple lines and structure. Her work is included in the collections of the Oakland Museum, The British Museum in London, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Museum of Art, and the Museum of Art and Design in New York.

In this market, image is important. People can see our business is doing well, and by arriving at a jobsite with new, name-brand equipment, we build confidence in our customers and ourselves as well. Now we are more certain that we can take on additional work, even complicated jobs. It�s a good feeling.�
Venturing into foundation repair and basement waterproofing required Czuba to make some tough economic decisions. He had to pre-order a significant amount of materials in addition to his major investment in equipment.
�Once I had two reliable machines � loader and excavator � it was much easier to find work,� he says. �The business just kept increasing because I had the right equipment to succeed. Other firms that did not have access to this equipment were asking me to do jobs for them.�
When Czuba started his firm seven years ago, he focused on concrete work. Initially he rented equipment; his first Bobcat loader, a used machine, was purchased in 2006. He also rented a Bobcat compact excavator when he began doing more foundation work.
�The Bobcat rental equipment worked very well, but I think I paid too much attention to the clock, trying to finish jobs in order to return the machines,� he says. �I was working long hours, sometimes 24 hours straight, and doing it in bad weather conditions, at times. Having my own equipment made things much better.�
The newest of his own machines is an S570 vertical-lift-path skid-steer loader, purchased from Bobcat of Flint/Saginaw. It replaced an S185 with almost 5,000 hours on the clock. The S570, powered by a 61-horsepower diesel engine, has a rated operating capacity of 1,950 pounds. Among the options Czuba added: two-speed travel, suspension seat, enclosed cab with heat and Power Bob-Tach� attachment mounting system.
�There is a world of difference between the M-Series loader and my previous machine,� Czuba says.
M-Series advantages
Dan Czuba paired his new Bobcat S570 skid-steer loader with his compact excavator for a foundation project.
While Czuba�s primary business is currently foundation repair and waterproofing, he still operates under the umbrella of a full-service general contractor.
�Based on our experience and equipment, we are very capable of handling a wide range of projects, from snow removal to demolition to concrete,� he says. �Our Bobcat machines, along with attachments such as a hydraulic breaker, industrial grapple, pallet forks and snow blade, provide plenty of jobsite versatility. If you own Bobcat equipment, you create a lot of opportunities for yourself.�

D.C. Drought
The midweek rain was certainly welcome. Any amount of rain helps the deficit, but we're still far below yearly rainfall averages.
Finally enought pitter patter to amount to something!! The rain earlier this week certainly put a dent in our rainfall deficit, but we're still far below the yearly rainfall average. Take a look at the radar at 7PM on Wednesday, May 9th.
- Super Dopple 7 at 7PM, Wednesday, May 9th
This is exactly what we needed -- a large, uniform, swath of moisture for a few hours. Right here in D.C. we received a little over a half inch. Folks on the Eastern Shore got some of the heaviest rain with rainfall totals over two inches in some spots! The rain is certainly much needed, as many areas across the region remain under a moderate to severe drought. Here's the most recent drought index.
- Drought Monitor
Now, you might be wondering why the Eastern shore is still under a severe drought with over two inches of rain Wednesday. The drought index is issued every Thursday morning, but the data is only recorded through Tuesday. Since the bulk of the rain fell on Tuesday and Wednesday, this map doesn't show how the drought is affected by that rain. We'll have a better idea next Thursday on how the impact of this weeks rain on the drought.
Here's a list of some rainfall totals across our region from our WeatherBug locations.
- WeatherBug rainfall totals from Tuesday and Wednesday
You're seeing that right with over two and a half inches of rain in Ocean City, MD. On the other side of the Bay, rainfall totals weren't quite as impressive, comparatively, with about a quarter to a half inch on average. As mentioned, it's wonderful to receive the rain, no how much we get when it's particulary dry. We do still need a few more good soakings to catch up to the yearly averages.
- Yearly Rainfall & Departures
Before the rain on Tuesday, D.C. only had 3.23" (as of May 6th) of rain since March 1st. There have only been 5 other years we've had less than 3.25" of rain from March 1st through May 6th. That gives you an idea of how dry this spring has been, so far.
No significant rain is in the forecast through the weekend, but late Sunday through early next week we could see the chance for a few showers. The rain dances continue.

Lebanese lawmaker Ziad Aswad gestures upon his arrival at the Parliament building in Beirut, Lebanon, Thursday, Sept. 22, 2011. (Mahmoud Kheir/The Daily Star)
BEIRUT: MP Ziad Aswad, from MP Michel Aoun's Change and Reform parliamentary bloc, submitted Thursday his request to run in the June parliamentary elections under the controversial the 1960 law.
"I filed my request at the Interior Ministry and other candidates from the Free Patriotic Movement are expected to submit their requests between today and tomorrow," Aswad told The Daily Star.
Aoun, who heads the Free Patriotic Movement, said earlier this week that despite opposition to the 1960 law, party members would file requests "to avoid having to face any urgent situation."
Aswad, a Jezzine MP, said that his group still opposed the divisive law and that candidates would withdraw their applications if there was an agreement not to hold the polls under the 1960 law.
"As Gen. Aoun said before, we are doing that just so that we do not find ourselves facing any surprises and if there was an agreement over a new law or to extend Parliament's term, we will withdraw our requests," he said.
The Interior Ministry resumed Monday accepting applications from people wishing to run under the 1960 law and will keep on receiving requests until May 27.
Only a small number of requests by hopeful MPs have been filed to the ministry, including those of MP Walid Jumblatt's Progressive Socialist Party candidates.
The recent failure of MPs to reach a deal over an electoral law has in effect left the country with two alternatives: the extension of Parliament's term or holding the elections based on the current 1960 law.
An amended version of the 1960 law was adopted in the 2009 parliamentary elections but the majority of the political blocs are refusing to adopt it for this year's polls.

Podcasting is a distribution mechanism for audio and video content. There are many areas on the UNL campus currently utilizing podcasting for digital media distribution - check with your local IT staff for more information and technical support. If you are looking for a unit that provides podcasting services, contact the following individuals.
City Campus: Todd Jensen New Media Center Manager, Information Services (402)472-0606 email@example.com
East Campus: Mark Hendricks or Mike Kamm Communications & Information Technology (402)472-3035
iTunes U
iTunes U is a directory of university content available through the iTunes store. UNL's presence within iTunes U serves as a directory of UNL podcast content.
Entry Page
Podcast Glossary
Glossary of terms used in audio, video and podcast production.
Production Applications
Podcast Producer, available in Mac OS X Server 10.5 'Leopard,' has built in and customizable work flows that can help streamline the encoding and branding of content. For example, a piece of video content can be sent to Podcast Producer and encoded in a variety of formats, watermarked with a university logo, have bumper video content added to the front and back, and added to iTunesU. A separate application, Podcast Capture, is included with the client version of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
UNL Webcast Project is an initiative to utilize Podcast Producer and other tools to enable easier audio and video capture, edit, and distribution to various channels including iTunesU. A collaboration among many departments including Information Services, University Communications, and CIT has created a working group to implement a system of this nature.
Format Recommendations
iTunes U supports the distribution of compressed audio and video files. As you consider which formats and file sizes to produce, keep in mind that your users will need to download the content from your site and that their bandwidth may vary. For longer-form video content, consider using a lower resolution or breaking the content into pieces.
- Audio files (AAC, MP3) with appropriate file extensions (.m4a, .mp3).
For best results during playback, Apple recommends converting MP3 files larger than 32MB to AAC format. For AAC audio files, use the following specifications:
Audio format: AAC-LC (Music) Data rate: 128 Kbps Channels: Stereo Output sample rate: 44.100 kHz Encoding quality: Better
The following information has been taken from Apple document "Podcasts - Technical Specification." For best results with AppleTV, newer-generation iPods, and other viewers, use QuickTime Pro's "Movie to iPod" function, or another compressor that produces an MPEG-4 h.264 file with the following specifications:
Video format: MPEG-4 with H.264, low-complexity baseline profile Data rate: up to 1.5Mbps Image size: 960 by 540 Frame rate: 30 Key frame: Every 24 frames Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbps, 48 Khz, stereo
If you use QuickTime to create and edit video content, Apple recommends that you export your videos by choosing ���?Movie to iPod�� from the Export pop-up menu in QuickTime Pro (see Video for iPod and Apple TV, page 4). This will create an MPEG-4 file with the .m4v extension, which is generally registered to iTunes. If you want the file to be used with other viewers, you may change the file extension to .mp4.
If bandwidth is a consideration for your audience, you may wish to encode your video according to Apple's earlier recommendations:
Video format: MPEG-4 with H.264 Data rate: 256 Kbps Image size: 640 by 480 Frame rate: 30 Key frame: Every 24 frames
iTunes U requires a specially formatted RSS feed with additional info for clients.

Do you know a competetive Musician?

Do you know a competetive Musician?
Was just on You Tube,checking out some drummers,and comparing some gear...and like usual,there is always that person,who calls out the poster.
You know,that guy who says.."YOU SUCK!!" then goes on to talk about how they could do that song a year ago,and what not,oblivious to the degree of anger they have achieved.
Now of course,not all competitive musicians are this far gone,but we all know at least one....and if you dont,then it may be you.
Any ideas on how someone gets that way?
I think its from being pushed into a hobby,you know,so the kid dont lay on the couch playing X-Box,...so they take up an instrument,because its shiny,learn a bit,but never really care about the music at all.Eventually,music is just a way to compete,maybe as revenge against that band that let them go when they were starting out,...or whatever.
I dont get it....I love talking to anyone who is even slightly interested in music.That in itself is a blessing,but once they start asking if you can sweep,and how fast you can double kick,you know it just went from music,to the Olympic tryouts.
I love just listening to people play.You Tube is amazing for that.millions of musicians,you would have never known,right here,for anyone to enjoy.So to go in and step on them,it just baffles me.
I understand wanting to be great at what you do,but to do it just to try and show up that next guy or gal?
Oh by the way....if youre that person,and didnt mean to be that person,or truly didnt realize you did that,then its most likely that someone once told you you werent very good,and now youre looking for acceptance from other musicians.Dont worry about doing that.All that does,is turns you into the person that was rotten to you,and now youll spend your life trying to one up everyone,all cus some dink was having a bad day.
Music is the Greatest Gift on Earth....and that is exactly what it is,a gift,so to be mean,to someone who is trying to share that,is pretty much,like demanding that gift be given to you in a fancier wrapper.It didnt have to be given to you at all,and to complain at all about it,just makes you look like a tool.
So Play on Good people of drummerworld! Thats my "Be Good To other Musicians" Rant

Often a bailout is in response to a short-term cash flow crunch, where an entity with illiquid, but sufficient, assets is given funds to "tide it over" until short term problems are resolved.
The bailing out of a corporation by government is controversial because bankruptcy can be seen as being caused by the failure to satisfy consumer demand; the bailing out is thus an instance of government intervention on the market overruling the will of consumers. "All this talk: the state should do this or that, ultimately means: the police should force consumers to behave otherwise than they would behave spontaneously. According to the Austrian School of Economics the appearance of monopolies can often be blamed on such acts of government intervention that preserve overstretched and badly managed corporations which market forces would have broken into smaller and more specialized companies.
Government bailouts of corporations are usually reserved for cases when a corporation is considered "too big to fail" — justified by the argument that failure of certain corporations would cause unacceptable short-term economic repercussions throughout the economy.
A financial bailout may also describe an external intervention into the economic affairs of a nation, industry, corporation or citizen, typically for the purpose of enhancing their financial circumstances for public benefit. Bailouts have occurred globally and with some frequency since the early 20th century. In general, the needs of the entity/entities bailed out are subordinate to the needs of the state. Further, a bailout presents the challenge of moral hazard, by rewarding excessive risk-taking.
From the many bailouts over the course of the 20th century, certain principles and lessons have emerged that are consistent:
A 2002 World Bank report indicated that bailout costs average approximately 13% of GDP.
During 1991–1992, a housing bubble in Sweden deflated, resulting in a severe credit crunch and widespread bank insolvency. The causes were similar to those of the subprime mortgage crisis of 2007–2008. In response, the government took the following actions:
This bailout initially cost about 4% of Sweden's GDP, later lowered to between 0–2% of GDP depending on various assumptions due to the value of stock later sold when the nationalized banks were privatized.
In response to widespread bank insolvency as a result of the Savings and Loan crisis, the United States established the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) in 1989.

Teacher injured too many times' resignsBy Josh OGorman
STAFF WRITER | October 30,2013From Columbine to Sandy Hook, ensuring the safety of children at school is an issue at the forefront of the nations consciousness.
The topic of teacher safety is also raised when there are high-profile incidents, such as the deaths of Nevada middle school math teacher Mike Landsberry and Massachusetts high school math teacher Colleen Ritzer, who were both killed last week, allegedly by students at their schools.
Less attention is given to the daily physical dangers faced by teachers and staff who work with students with profound emotional or behavioral issues. But, the issue was brought to the forefront during a protest at the Oct. 22 meeting of the Rutland City School Board.
About 20 people, holding signs reading SAFETY FIRST, attended the meeting, led by Ellen Green, president of the Rutland Education Association, who read a statement to the board and the public expressing concern for the safety of students and staff.
Sadly, we stand here in support of an REA member who has been injured at work one too many times while faithfully serving her students and community, Green said. She has therefore resigned her position after more than a decade of service to the students and families of Rutland Public Schools. That persons resignation will be acted upon in the closed session of tonights meeting.
During the meeting, not in executive session but in open session, the board accepted the resignation of Stacey Ladabouche, a school counselor at Rutland Intermediate School. Her resignation, effective Friday, was the only one during that meeting.
Green declined to be interviewed for this story, and calls to Ladabouche, both at home and at school, were not returned.
Greens statement does suggest that safety is a problem in the citys schools.
In accordance with Special Education law, every student is entitled to a least restrictive environment an environment in which all students, regardless of their abilities, can learn and staff can teach in the knowledge that safety is paramount, Green wrote.
When the level of violence is this high, we must ask ourselves if each student is placed where he or she has social, emotional and educational needs met, she wrote.
How high is this level of violence?
In a statement, Mary Moran, superintendent of Rutland City Public Schools, replied to this question.
After asserting the districts mission to respond to all students and staff in a positive manner, Moran wrote, However, the characterization utilized by the Union that there is a level of violence in our schools is misleading at best and, at worst, creates an unwarranted concern for our community, students, staff and schools.
Rutland Intermediate School is home to what is known in special education terms as a self-contained classroom, where six staff members work one-on-one with six students who exhibit emotional and behavioral challenges.
Theres another self-contained classroom at Northeast Primary School with three staff members serving seven students in kindergarten through second grades from both Northeast and Northwest Schools.
According to Moran, the self-contained classrooms give these challenging students the academic and behavioral support they need while allowing them to participate in mainstream activities, such as going to the cafeteria to get lunch or to a school assembly.
The work conditions at Rutland Intermediate School led an employee to file a complaint with the Department of Labor. The employee claimed, Paraeducators working with aggressive and volatile students are not being properly trained or monitored. Paraeducators have been injured. Walkie-talkies are used, but response to calls for help is not adequate. There are no written expectations for the students. There is no post-incidence debriefing.
In an Oct. 3 letter to Assistant Superintendent Rob Bliss, Don Whipple, manager of the states Occupational Safety and Health Administration under the Department of Health, refers to OSHA logs at Rutland Intermediate School that document numerous cases of employees being exposed to scratches, bites, contusions, concussions and other problems when dealing with aggressive patients at your facility.
The complaint prompted an inspection of the school. According to Bliss, OSHA records show that during the 2012-13 school year, there were 13 injuries to staff: 10 were classroom related, two came from lifting, one from a fall and another classified as office related.
According to Moran, there have been six injures to staff members across the district since the start of school, with five of the six being classroom related. There have been no student injuries, Moran said.
Moran took issue with the complaints listed in the letter from the Department of Labor.
Wed disagree with most of what they say here, Moran said Tuesday of the complaint, which she said came from a paraeducator.
According to Moran and Bliss, the districts policies require paraeducators of which there are roughly 90 across the district earning an hourly wage of $11.14 to $17.82 an hour to be trained in Crisis Prevention Intervention, a nationwide program that focuses on dealing with emotional or violent outbursts, while also teaching restraint methods to allow for the safety of both student and staff.
According to Bliss, when there is an incident, the students special education team will meet afterwards to debrief.
We look at the antecedents, Bliss said Tuesday. We look at what led to the incident, look at responses by staff and look at what we can do in the future to achieve a different result, Bliss said.
Bliss also noted the districts safety team, composed of staff and administrators, which meets quarterly to address safety concerns.
Moran said support is available to staff who are victims of violence.
Any time an employee asks for assistance, it is offered. If an employee needs counseling, we pay for it, Moran said.
However, holding a protest to raise safety concerns was the wrong move, according to a memo issued by School Board Chairman Peter Mello to all Rutland City school employees the following day.
Just as you all should expect honest answers and feedback from supervisors and administrators, we expect you to follow protocols and the chain of command in seeking rationale and resolution to those concerns, Mello wrote. We are committed to working on the aforementioned challenges with all parties involved and we urge you to share that same commitment. Merely raising issues falls far short of that commitment.

Half fold brochures are good for but not limited to menus, price lists, and programs. They are an effective and convenient style of print brochures that are sure to please. Half fold brochures are typically made from 8.5" x 11" paper; however, you can also choose 11" x 17" or 8.5" x 14". Here are a few tips for creating your half fold brochure with ease. Writing the Content Write your message in a separate program so that you are not distracted by the overall brochure design. The information that you put in your brochure is the star of your brochure. All the other elements contained in brochure printing pieces should point to the message, so make your message a great one.
Choosing Photographs Use stock photos for graphics. There are some online sites that sell stock photography as well as list a few for free. You can choose from thousands of professional photos of a wide variety. This will save you the trouble of hiring a photographer and preparing the pictures for your brochure. Planning for the Fold While creating a mock up, place a line down the middle for a reference mark. A mock up is usually done on a piece of paper the same size as your intended result on which you sketch your layout. Use a pencil to draw the line in the center of your unfolded paper so that you know exactly where your brochure will be folded and can plan accordingly. Designing the Cover Before you fold your brochure, you will design the cover. Do not confuse the front and back; remember that the left side of the paper is the back and the right side is the front. However, keep in mind that you want to make them cohesive by continuing the design elements across the surface. Making the Text Readable Layout your text in column format to look professional. Shorter lines are easier to read and look less daunting. Readers will be more likely to continue reading your print brochures if it is easy on the eyes. Choosing a Paper Stock Heavy stock will give a more professional feel. The quality of your paper will add to the overall impression of your print brochures.

I am fairly happy with the grades that i ended with for the first half of the year, but hope to improve them the second time around. last week and this week of school seems like its been moving really slowly, which is weird considered that last week and this week we didn't have school on Monday so we had a three day weekend. i don't know, my i'm just imagining things.

Arts and crafts will not be the only thing selling out Friday during First United Methodist Church's annual Christmas Handworks Bazaar.
Once again, members of FUMC Starkville are pulling out their best recipes in anticipation for the hungry crowds sure to gather in the church's Christian Life Center.
Bazaar chairman Pam Hunt said she is excited about this year's bake sale, with proceeds from their culinary sales going toward Habitat for Humanity.
"The women of the church of baking their specialties," she said. "Last year, as soon as the doors opened, we sold out of our caramel cakes."
Hunt said the bazaar will also features hundreds of frozen casseroles that are perfect for the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
"A lot of people do their shopping for holiday meals," she said. "They can get everything that is perfect for Thanksgiving dinners."
Hunt said the church raised almost $6,000 at last year's bazaar and is expecting a larger crowd this year.
"We get the money from the registration fee, and then we make money from the bake sale, the casseroles and our sandwich shop."
The sandwich shop, Hunt said, will include homemade pimento and cheese, and chicken salad sandwiches.
"Salads and sandwiches are $8 which includes chips and a cookie," she said. "We'll also have coffee and muffins for our morning crew."
Starkville Area Habitat for Humanity Executive Director Freddie Rasberry said the money from the bazaar goes toward the Apostle's House which is the organization's spring building project which cost anywhere from $50,000-$60,000.
"Their support means everything because we wouldn't have any way of doing anything without this," he said. "We try to be good stewards of what the community provides us."
Hunt said she is hopeful the community will come out to support not only the artisans and chefs that provide the bazaar with its various items, but to also contribute to a wonderful organization while preparing for the Christmas season.
"People will have a good time and, of course, the benefit is ultimately for Habitat for Humanity," she said. "People will have smiling faces and be ready for Christmas. You just get in a happy spirit when you've been to the bazaar."
The seventh annual Christmas Handworks Bazaar lasts from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. in the Christian Life Center at FUMC in Starkville.

There are numerous ways to be classy and one of them starts with what you are wearing. A strand of classic white pearls is the perfect starting point...
Being Classy Quotes
Quotes by Famous People Around the World
Being classy is NOT about being stuck up, but more so about having a simply unique style that will never be forgotten. To be classy is to have respect; respect for others, respect for elders and most of all respect for yourself.
Being Classy is an acquired taste. And once acquired, impossible to do without.
Classy women speak kind, encouraging words the trashy women. To have class is to have confidence. If the other women isn't going to be classy like you, she's clearly not confident. So just be kind to her, because classy women do not crave revenge.
Class has a sense of humor. It knows that a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations. Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes. Class bespeaks an aristocracy unrelated to ancestors or money. Some extremely wealthy people have no class at all, while others who are struggling to make ends meet are loaded with it. Class is real....
You can pay for school but you can't buy class!
Being classy isn't a choice. Its a lifestyle.
Being classy is a culmination of being yourself, being positive, and doing good in all the places you can by all the means you can. Clothes, hair, music, film....none of these things a classy person make.
To celebrate our classiness, i propose a 15 minute round of applause, followed by a 15 moment of silence.
Im classy, classy enough to know whats trashy.

Rumors surfaced Monday that Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn and NFL quarterback Tim Tebow were dating.
After winning a recent race, Vonn dropped into the signature "Tebowing" posture and ramped up the local rumor mill about being romantically linked to Tebow.
Regardless of the authenticity, the rumors were pervasive enough that she recently discussed it with the Associated Press.
"I am single. I'm not with anyone," Vonn said. "I've heard a lot of rumors and a lot of reports."

Abuja — President Goodluck Jonathan has directed the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation to commence disciplinary action against the Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Force, for absconding from duty.
The Senate on Wednesday gave President Jonathan a two-day ultimatum within which to sack Alhaji Abdulrasheed Maina from service.
Senate President David Mark announced the ultimatum after a debate on a motion entitled, "Dismissal of Mr. Abdulrasheed Maina for refusal to appear before the Senate."
The motion for Maina's dismissal was sponsored by the Leader of the Senate, Sen. Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN), and 107 senators.
The Senate has 109 members.
However, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati, said while briefing the State House correspondents on Friday that President Jonathan had directed immediate disciplinary action against Maina.
Abati stated that the President's directive followed a report from the Inspector-General of Police on efforts by the Nigeria Police to execute the warrant issued by the Senate for the arrest of Maina.
"Following his receipt from the Inspector-General of Police of a status report on efforts by the Nigeria Police to execute the warrant issued by the Senate for the arrest of the Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Force, Alhaji Abdulrasheed Maina, President Goodluck Jonathan today directed the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation to immediately commence disciplinary action against Alhaji Maina for absconding from duty.
"Section 030402 of the Federal Government's Public Service Rules lists Absence from Duty without Leave as an act of Serious Misconduct punishable by dismissal.
"The Inspector-General of Police, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar, stated in his report to President Jonathan that after receiving the Senate's warrant for the arrest of Alhaji Maina, he had constituted a team of detectives under the leadership of a Deputy Inspector-General of Police to find and arrest him in compliance with the Senate's directive.
According to Abati, the Inspector-General Police reported that the police has since mounted surveillance at Maina's home and office but has been unable to arrest him because he has gone into hiding and stayed away from both locations since the warrant was issued, leading to his being declared wanted by the Police.
Abati said the Inspector-General had assured the President that "intensive search" operations were still ongoing for the arrest of Maina and that "the Police will not relent until he is apprehended and produced before the Senate.
"In his directive to the Head of Service, Alhaji Isa Sali, President Jonathan noted that the Inspector-General's report clearly indicated that Alhaji Maina had absconded from his official duties.
"President Jonathan directed the Head of Service to act expeditiously on the disciplinary proceedings against Alhaji Maina and report back to him on actions taken."

Richard Land glows over Palin pick
Richard Land is "ecstatic" over Sen. John McCain's decision to pick Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as vice president, and the women in his office are just as excited.
"They were absolutely giddy, and saying 'I'm going to volunteer' after Sarah Palin was picked," said Land, who is president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. "There's something going on in the conservative independent sisterhood that I can't tap into. I can't comprehend it, but it's there."
I spoke with Land just before news broke that Palin's 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.
"I recommended her but I had no reason to believe that they would do it, but I'm happy they did. I think it's going to tap into all kinds of things. I must say I've been pleasantly surprised at the depth of the response among women, among evangelical and Catholics. Clearly, her nominations tapped into something, which I can observe as a white male but can't experience. My wife says to her Sarah Palin is what the feminists' movement was all about. You can have a family and a husband and a career, that you can do it all. My wife has a Ph.D. in psychology, she's in private practice as a psychotherapist.
I find these questions about 'how can she take care of her children and be vice president' sexist. Nobody asked that question to any of the male candidates. That's a family decision. As long as she and her husband are comfortable with it and they seem to have done a wonderful job with the children they have, it's nobody's business.
What will this do for John McCain?
The enthusiasm gap has been closed considerably. Let me answer a question you haven't asked me. I had two secular reporters ask me, 'Dr. Land, you as a Southern Baptist believe that women are not to be pastors of churches and women are not to be head of the home. Wouldn't it mean that if Sarah Palin were elected vice president, her husband would tell her what to do? And I said, 'If you don't mind my saying so, that's an asinine question, but I'll answer it.' Mrs. Thatcher said that her husband was head of her home and she ran the country. Queen Elizabeth said that Prince Phillip was head of the home and she was head of the country. If Mrs. Thatcher had been an American, I would've enthusiastically supported her for president of the United States.
The only restrictions we find in Scripture are, that for whatever reason women are not to be in charge of a marriage and women are not to be in charge of a church. That has nothing to do with governor, or senator or the House of Representatives, or president, or vice president.
I was just in Denver where there were several religious outreach events. There are very few things officially scheduled at the Republican National Convention. What does that say about the parties?
The party that feels they're not getting the fair share of a constituency are the ones who practice outreach. If the constituency is an integral part of the decision making part of your party, you don't have to practice outreach. It's not going to fundamentally shift things. Obama's not doing as well as John Kerry so far. He's the most radically pro-choice candidate ever nominated by a major party. That's a vertical mountain to try to climb with evangelicals and with pro-life Catholics. He's going to get 20 to 22 percent of the evangelical, because 20 to 22 percent of evangelicals are liberal evangelicals. That's fine, but I don't think he's going to do any better than John Kerry did.
Does he get any credit for trying?
Sure he does. You're going to attract more voter support in the long term with honey than with vinegar. If you can demonstrate that you at least respect people of faith and that they're important to you, you're going to do better than Howard Dean who said Job was his favorite book of the New Testament. If he had been running against Rudy Giuliani, he might've gotten half of the evangelical vote, but he's not, he's running against a pro-life candidate who has picked a very strongly pro-life running mate."

The 2013 Royal Rumble is in the books, and it was a momentous night capped off with the end of CM Punk's 400-plus-day reign as WWE Champion. The Rock managed to capture the title after a grueling main event that was restarted due to interference. It is the eighth WWE title reign for The Rock and his first in over 10 years.
More: Head to Cageside Seats for full Royal Rumble results.
Here are the full results.
In the opening pre-show match, Antonio Cesaro retained his U.S. Title by defeating The Miz with the Neutralizer after Miz injured his knee.
The Royal Rumble pay-per-view itself opened with a Last Man Standing match for the World Heavyweight Championship between champion Alberto Del Rio and The Big Show. The match was pretty insane, with Big Show chokeslamming Del Rio off the stage and through a table. Del Rio fought back, however, blasting Big Show with a fire extinguisher and other plunder, before duct-taping Show's legs to the bottom rope. As Big Show was literally unable to stand, Del Rio won the match via chicanery to retain the title.
Next up was the Tag Team Title match between Team Hell No and Team Rhodes Scholars. Daniel Bryan and Kane retained their titles as Bryan put Damien Sandow in the "No Lock" for the submission.
The Royal Rumble was next, inexplicably. The Royal Rumble should always be last. Always. Dolph Ziggler and the returning Chris Jericho were No. 1 and 2, respectively, to get the match started. As expected, Ziggler got the longevity streak this year, although Jericho lasted nearly as long. Ziggler made it to the final four, but was eliminated via a Brogue Kick from Sheamus, leaving a final three of Sheamus, Ryback and John Cena. Ryback eliminated Sheamus and was then eliminated by the winner, John Cena, who had entered at No. 19.
The main event was CM Punk vs. The Rock in a solid match. There was a significant table botch at one point, but just as The Rock was about to hit the People's Elbow, the lights went out and The Rock was taken out. Announcer Michael Cole stated that the attackers were "The Shield," although it was impossible to tell with the lights out. A stipulation of the match was that Punk would be stripped of his title if The Shield interfered. Punk pinned the Rock to retain, but Vince McMahon came out to strip him of the title. McMahon in turn was interrupted by The Rock, who said, "You don't get to take the title from him. I do." Rock ordered the match to be restarted, and McMahon complied. After a few more minutes of action, The Rock successfully hit the People's Elbow for the pin and the title.

HPM Faculty in the News
Dr. John W. Rowe, MD, a professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, was recently featured in The Washington Post. The article, "Case in Point: To go from worst to first, alter the business model," profiled Dr. Rowe's successful tenure as CEO and chairman of Aetna, Inc. By leading the re-design of the insurance company's business model from the ground up to reflect an emphasis on quality care, Dr. Rowe engaged employees and improved services for both physicians and patients. The "lesson" as Moriarity and Freeman note is, "Sometimes you have to change the business model to change the story of an enterprise. Transformational leaders energize others to become part of a new story".
The Washington Post article may be read in its entirety here
Within the Health Policy and Management Department, this year Dr. Rowe co-taught "Transforming the Delivery of Healthcare Services" with Linda Green of the Graduate School of Business. He also teaches the "Private Health Insurance and Public Policy" course with HPM faculty. "The seminar," he explains, "provides students with the full thickness of understanding through multiple lenses of current and likely future interaction of private health insurers and public policy in America." To this end, students study the history and trends of taxation and regulation, pricing and underwriting, pharmacy benefits management, Medicare, drug benefits, managed care, public policy issues, and innovations in private insurance. Guest speakers also supplement the curriculum and add depth to individual debates.
Dr. Rowe is a member of the Rockefeller Foundation's board, and is the former president and CEO of Mount Sinai NYU Health and the former chairman and CEO of Aetna, Inc. His faculty profile may be viewed here
