I'm a fun, fit successful moderately charming...
I'm a fun, fit successful moderately charming guy that loves to laugh and have fun but also has a serious side. Friends would say I'm fun to be around, loyal and generous. Family would say I'm caring and responsible and my daughter would say I'm goofy and a great dad (assuming she could actually form complete sentences). Ex-girlfriends would say "why the hell are you calling me". While I love to laugh and have fun, there are a couple things that I take very seriously... one is my business. I've spent 17 years building a successful financial services company. While I am busy and do take work home, it doesn't consume me and I know what is most important in life, which is having great relationships. My business is demanding but it also gives me the ability to have incredible flexibility to make "other" things a priority along with being able to travel (think credit card points). The other very important part of my life is my beautiful 5 year old daughter. Frankly, she is the important part of my life and I will make all future decisions based on what is best for her... which means I would like to meet someone who adores children and is looking for a family life... eventually that is! (Note: just because I love kids does NOT necessarily mean I want to meet them on the first date... "just saying"... ) I'm looking for an attractive, fun, fit woman who loves to laugh and has a kind compassionate heart. Someone I love talking to about anything and everything... being willing to take it and then dish it back with some witty banter would be ideal... someone who is a great friend and we can have fun doing just about anything... oh and a nice warm smile would be a bonus with at least a hint of financial responsibility. Lastly, someone who eventually wants a long-term relationship (ideally for life ; ) along with everything that comes with that. (see above) If something ("ANYTHING for the LOVE OF GOD") strikes a chord, email me. Otherwise, good luck in your search. Life is more fun when you have someone to share it with.

traveling back to Cape Cod where I grew up. Someplace south (not Iowa) in the middle of winter. Cool new places make for great adventures. Love taking in the local culture... in other words, I don't go to Taco Bell when in Cabo (yes there is one).
* Morning coffee then a good workout * fully loaded ipod with my favorite songs * Seinfeld reruns * Waking up to hearing and smelling the ocean on the first day of a vacation * making my little daughter laugh hysterically
Free time... what free time? Any outdoor fun activity... Golf, softball, biking... working out at LTF... also love a good happy hour, great meal out or watching a sporting event
I usually read business books... I know snooze fest huh. However, I love Grisham novels while on vacation. Plus I read Dora books to my daughter. Dora is really a fascinating little woman... I never get tired of her little adventures (cough cough)

Unlicensed, uninsured drivers
Re: your Dec. 26 article, "Curbs on road checkpoints lift illegal immigrants' fear":
Wow. I am so happy that the unlicensed drivers can breathe easier. I am sure next time an illegal, unlicensed, uninsured driver hits me, I will be so pleased that this horribly unfair impounding of cars has stopped, and I have been hit by an illegal, unlicensed, uninsured driver, who then got his/her car impounded.
I find it odd that anyone would think it would be a good thing that there is an underground system set up to subvert the law. Oh, so sorry that they have to get to work. Using that stupid rationalization, anyone that works at a low-paying job does not need to get a license or insurance, is that correct?
It seems so simple to me. If you can't get a license (for whatever reason) or can't afford insurance, you do not drive. Period. Do let me know if the rules are changing for everyone, I would love to save the money I pay for insurance, and that pesky licensing … well, what a pain in the neck.
Take a bus. Find a licensed, insured driver to take you around. Have the employers you feel are exploiting their workers provide transportation.

All the details on Dakota Fanning's new brunette 'do at 'Breaking Dawn - Part 2'
Us Weekly
Dakota Fanning is showing off her dark side!
The 18-year-old star was nearly unrecognizable at the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" premiere Monday night in Los Angeles. The usually blond actress, who plays Volturi vampire Jane in the franchise, debuted a stunning new brunette 'do on the red carpet.
PHOTOS: All the red-carpet looks from 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2' premiere
Why the sudden switch in hair color?
Fanning's colorist from the Warren-Tricomi salon in Los Angeles, Jenda Alcorn, created the hue for the actress's role in the upcoming film "Night Moves."
PHOTOS: Dakota, Elle and other celebrity siblings
Alcorn took Fanning's previous blond locks and transformed them into a spicy brown shade. To balance the star's fair skin, she kept the tones natural and layered it to add lightness to the rich color.
Fanning gave her fans a glimpse at her new hair color in an Instagram photo last month. The caption read simply, "Well look who turned into a brunette!"
PHOTOS: Celebrity hair must-haves
"I try to do different things all the time. I try not to rely on trends. I think you just kind of work with what works for you," the actress told Us Weekly in March of her personal style philosophy. "My mom has told me that less is more and that you never want to look like you're trying too hard to be something that you may actually not be -- something that's not you."

Superintendent's Letter
Welcome to Amistad National Recreation Area! My staff and I hope you enjoy your visit. We are working hard to improve your experience and safety here at Amistad. I'd like to tell you about some recent highlights in the recreation area. We had, for the third year in a row, record increases in visitors to the recreation area. We recorded over 2.5 million visitors in 2009!
We now have four trails in the park. All the trails travel through a variety of Chihuahuan Desert and South Texas Brushland plants. The Sunrise Trail is in an area that once was part of the Brite Ranch. The Figueroa Trail is a rolling trail that once was part of the Figueroa Ranch. The Diablo East Nature Trail is a flat short trail that has sweeping views of Lake Amistad. The Pecos Trail provides outstanding views of the Pecos River. Dogs are allowed on the trail, but must be on leash.
Planning and design continues for a new Headquarters, Visitor Center Facility and Joint Operations Facility for the park. The United States Border Patrol will jointly share space with our Law Enforcement staff.
We offer a range of fun and free activities and programs for the entire family. Be sure to check our website, www.nps.gov/amis, or with any park ranger about upcoming events.
We're always interested in listening to visitor suggestions that improve the recreation area. Feel free to contact me anytime at (830) 775-7492 ext 2200. Comment forms are also available at the Visitor Information Center.

Chapter 11: With Friends Like This
Chapter 11: With Friends Like This
Keel was careful, but apparently not careful enough; the first thing Boras said when he came through the door a few hours later was, "What happened to all the blood?"
Crap! You didn't even consider this possibility. I was definitely slipping, but not so much that I couldn't still think fast under pressure.
"I cleaned myself up," I said, garnishing the lie with an extra spoonful of cranky. Terrified, pissed off – maybe he wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Same galloping heartbeat.
"How?" said Boras. The deep lines that creased his face belied just how seriously he took his assignment of jailer and warden.
I shifted my gaze to the white porcelain toilet bowl. "How do you think?"
"Why are you dry, then?" he asked.
"Because I came to hours ago – and I wouldn't have had to do it if you had done your job." He might not buy it, but luckily Boras had a secondary weakness: sass. And I was fairly confident I could annoy him into distraction.
Of course, he had weaponry of his own. "Shame about your face," he said. "You weren't half-bad looking once, for one of them."
Ouch. That was low. What I'd said to him hadn't been anywhere near that mean.
I'd somehow, erroneously, convinced myself the damage couldn't be too bad, since Keel hadn't said anything and he'd spent the majority of his time here looking right at me. But that'd been dumb. I should have known that when it came to me, he only saw the blood.
He hadn't even asked my name. Still. Even after I threw that in his face.
"Shall we see what can be done, then?" Boras said, finally letting the blood thing drop.
I shifted myself on the mattress so that the lacerated side of my face was fully exposed and tilted my head. I'd didn't want him anywhere near me, but if he didn't doctor the wounds, no one else would, and it wasn't like Keel's tongue had any healing properties.
Boras said nothing as he disinfected the rawest areas and then carefully stitched up my cheek. The sharp, piercing jabs that accompanied the white string he pulled through my skin soon coalesced into a single pulsing agony and I drifted away again – just like when I was with the King. I didn't want to think of the extent of the damage, and every stitch was a further reminder of it.
When Boras was done with my face, he cleaned and wrapped my neck wound, but this time he had proper bandages instead of that useless neck brace. Had they had to order more supplies now that the King had a new plaything?
"He's not coming today," Boras said as he packed up his makeshift medical kit – a black gym bag with assorted bandages and disinfectants in it.
My head shot up. Did he just read my mind?
"Rest up, and eat," he continued. "I know you weren't fed last night – couldn't let anyone in here with you ripped up like that – but it'll be brought right down." With that, he left my cell.
As soon as he was gone, I ran my fingers over the mountain range of stitches that trailed up the left side of my face. The next time I looked in the mirror, I'd be greeted by Frankenstein's monster made flesh. Will I even recognize myself? I wondered. The human-world me seemed further and further away with each passing day, each new scar.
Live with monsters, become one?

With long term gilt yields at recent all-time lows, a hike in scheme members taking transfers from DB Schemes in order to take advantage of the new freedoms from April 2015 is expected, according to actuarial firm Cartwright. Robert Sweet, Director of Actuarial Services at Cartwright says: scheme members may consider that it is now a particularly good time to weigh up whether a transfer is a sensible option for them, given that the low yield environment can potentially significantly increase the transfer value they have been offered. Each 0.1% drop in the 15 year gilt yield will add around 3% on a typical transfer value for a 50 year old. An individual with a deferred pension of £7,000 per annum payable at age 60 might currently expect a transfer value in excess of £160,000 and will have seen an increase in his transfer value of more than 40% in the last 12 months, during which time 15 year gilt yields have fallen from 3.2% p.a. to 1.8% p.a.. However, Robert Sweet cautions that trustees need to: determine whether the assets of their schemes are sufficient to cover higher transfer values decide whether they might need to be scaled back to reflect any potential shortfall, and ensure that communication with members ahead of April is properly thought through.

Specialist actuarial, pensions and benefit consultancy firm, Cartwright Group, has signed an agreement to license the Asset Liability Management (ALM) software tool developed by Ortec Finance, a leading global provider of technology solutions and services to the pensions industry.The move further strengthens Cartwright Groups investment consulting proposition, and is central to its long term growth strategy. Key to working with Ortec Finance was the pedigree of its ALM solution, according to Ashlin Noonan, Investment Consultant at Cartwright Group. Its a top of the range system, and means our clients, from the largest to the smallest, get best in class explains Ms. Noonan. Commenting on the benefits to Cartwright Groups clients, Maurits van Joolingen, Client Services Manager at Ortec Finance says.Our ALM solution has been developed with pension schemes in mind from the outset. So it is completely focused on those specific goals and objectives, including meeting current integrated risk management requirements.Van Joolingen explains that the starting point for Ortec Finances ALM tool is to analyse a schemes exposure to risk. It then looks at how those risks can be managed in the most efficient way. It gives the ability to test the robustness of decisions across the whole risk spectrum of investment scenarios so that the most appropriate policy can be set, adds van Joolingen.As well as high-quality economic scenarios based on more than 400 variables, including all major regions in the world, the Ortec Finance ALM system provides consistent modelling of assets and liabilities, including the simulation of future consequences in terms of relevant objectives and risk factors. Such focused capabilities will allow Cartwright to help clients address the requirements of the Pensions Regulators new Code of Practice for Defined Benefit (DB) schemes, which places increased importance on integrated risk management when developing a scheme funding solution, says Ms. Noonan. Clients are now sitting up and taking notice of the new code and asking themselves whether they are compliant and could they be doing more to ensure they are. So increasingly, they need a firm that can provide the full range of investment consultancy services and the level of expertise to match. The new ALM solution gives us more detailed modelling capacity to analyse current investment positions as well as the level of risk the client is carrying. This allows us draw up a strategy to get the right balance between reducing the level of risk and the investment return the client needs to achieve in order to fulfill pension scheme obligations, she adds.

New administration system at heart of Cartwright Groups growth strategyActuaries and consultants, Cartwright Group, has selected Procentias Intellipen platform as its new pension administration system. The decision to go with pension software provider Procentia over other platforms came down to quality and flexibility, according to Tony Thornton, Director of Pensions Administration at Cartwright Group.As a pensions administration provider we live by the accuracy, speed and quality of service we deliver to our clients. We want to build on our current high standards and Procentias Intellipen platform allows us to do that. At the same time, the new platform is flexible enough to accommodate our future administration requirements brought about by changes to the pension landscape, he explains.Commenting on the appointment, Procentias CEO, Steven Donkin said: We are delighted that Cartwright Group has chosen Intellipen as its new platform. I firmly believe we have a role to play in underpinning their growth plans with a strong and robust pension administration platform that has the capacity to grow alongside them.Procentias Intellipen platform is a modern browser-based platform which has a suite of tools enabling full integration across accounting and payroll service modules. It also provides for administrator view access and has an interactive member portal. These enhancements will enable Cartwrights clients to access real-time membership and financial information in relation to their pension arrangements, allowing for regular and ongoing monitoring through a simple, intuitive yet powerful online portal. Following the appointment, Cartwright will migrate all existing clients onto the system. There are advanced project management plans in place and the migration will occur in a phased manner to minimise disruption. We see this as an important and exciting development for our business, which will enable us to build on our existing high quality service and attract further clients, explains Mark Williams, Cartwright Groups newly appointed Commercial Director. Cartwright Group is building its presence and service proposition having acquired the trust-based pensions business of Gallagher Benefits Consulting in 2013. It has also made recent senior appointments as part of its growth strategy. . The firm provides a range of services to over 200 defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) schemes.

Protect your device data in ONE TOUCH
One stop solution to protect all of your PCs, Macs, iPhones, iPads, Android devices and Facebook pictures into a single account!
Enterprise class secure data protection for all of your business computers, servers, Exchange, SQL, NAS and mobile devices.
July 02, 2015
Protecting your entire hard disk is essential as it helps you resurrect lost files and folders in case of a disaster. Your computer can crash anytime due to disasters from external sources such as, bad power supply, malicious attack, damaged block and sectors, and so on.
It's unfortunate that nobody really cares to safeguard their data until they are lost. So anytime a disaster strikes, you either lose your data forever, or struggle in getting those recovered from failed hard disk, by spending a handsome amount to external vendors. Don't you think these extra expenses and havocs can be avoided if data protection is properly strategized? Yes, you can!
A good storage strategy is all that you need to safeguard your files and folders from data losses. A normal data protection solution can help you protect all your files and folders present on the disk. However, protecting your system settings and the programs installed on your disk is impossible with such services. That's when other methods like disk imaging come into picture, with which you can create an exact record of your drive or partition.
Disk image backs up an entire drive with ease by creating a complete copy of the original drive, in terms of data and information structure. In other words, disk image is simply a duplicate of your entire disk created by copying operating system files, settings, programs, files and folders; retaining complete contents and information structure. If a disk image is created for your drive and the drive crashes, you can recover your disk by installing a new internal hard drive and then booting from your program's emergency boot device, and restoring the drive's contents from the disk image that is saved.
There are numerous third party vendors who provide disk imaging services for disk duplication. However, you need not recover your entire disk while a file or two is lost. So it is advisable to have both, cloud solution for easy restoration of one or two lost files and subsequently have disk image for complete hard disk recovery in event of major disaster. IDrive's online cloud solution has disk image feature integrated to it, which makes data protection more efficient than ever!
That means, Cloud Solution + Disk Imaging = Effective Data Protection
What's more?
All your data, transferred to your cloud account, are protected with 256-bit AES encryption with an optional private key. This is a unique key that is not stored anywhere in IDrive's servers; which means no one but you will have access to your files.
You can protect all your devices like PCs, Macs, Servers, Android, and iOS devices to your single cloud account, at one price. While most other cloud services charge per device, IDrive protects multiple devices, as long as there is enough storage space on your cloud account.
You can create unlimited Sub-accounts, within your storage space and monitor them using a centralized administrative console. The console gives you the overview of all your Sub-accounts at a glance! Here, you can allocate space, monitor activities and view storage reports without having access to any of your Sub-account user's files. This ensures privacy of your data!
Hybrid feature is a perfect data protection strategy. You can locally store your important files to IDrive Wi-Fi - a storage device that combines the security of cloud and the convenience of local connectivity. Your data is encrypted and stored locally (IDrive Wi-Fi) and on cloud. Local storage helps speedy recovery of your data when compared to cloud!
There's more that IDrive offers. Sign up and explore!
Protect your iPhone and Android data with strong privacy options.
Complement your cloud account with wireless local backup.
Let's face it - when it comes to data protection, why IDrive?
" There's a heck of a lot to like about IDrive. It can do things that none of the alternatives can. – Michael Muchmore "
" It's affordable, comprehensively capable, has clients for just about every platform, and was pretty darn fast backing up my data. – Jon L.Jacobi "
" You can set your own encryption key for your data, which means extra protection... – Melanie Pinola "
" IDrive Express is a common-sense solution to time-consuming backups. – Michael S.Lasky "
" All of the data is encrypted client-side using 256-bit AES encryption with an optional private key, unusual security feature for syncing services. – Frederic Lardinois "
" IDrive for iPhone offers a combination of capabilities not found in other apps, letting you back up, share, and enjoy all your photos, music, video, and more-anywhere. – Michael Muchmore "

Minuet: Rethinking Concurrency Control in Storage Area Networks.
ABSTRACT Clustered applications in storage area networks (SANs), widely adopted in enterprise datacenters, have tradition- ally relied on distributed locking protocols to coordi- nate concurrent access to shared storage devices. We examine the semantics of traditional lock services for SAN environments and ask whether they are sufficient to guarantee data safety at the application level. We ar- gue that a traditional lock service design that enforces strict mutual exclusion via a globally-consistent view of locking state is neither sufficient nor strictly necessary to ensure application-level correctness in the presence of asynchrony and failures. We also argue that in many cases, strongly-consistent locking imposes an additional and unnecessary constraint on application availability. Armed with these observations, we develop a set of novel concurrency control and recovery protocols for clustered SAN applications that achieve safety and liveness in the face of arbitrary asynchrony, crash failures, and network partitions. Finally, we present and evaluate Minuet- a new synchronization primitive based on these protocols that can serve as a foundational building block for safe and highly-available SAN applications.

Conference Paper: Interfaces for coordinated access in the file system[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Distributed applications routinely use the file system for coordination of access and often rely on POSIX consistency semantics or file system lock support for coordination. In this paper we discuss the types of coordination many distributed applications perform and the coordination model they are restricted to using with locks. We introduce an alternative coordination model in the file system that uses extended attribute support in the file system to provide atomic operations on serialization variables. We demonstrate the usefulness of this approach for a number of coordination patterns common to distributed applications.Cluster Computing and Workshops, 2009. CLUSTER '09.

John Daly says he was forced to join a neo-Nazi skinhead gang. But once he was in, he liked it -- until his comrades found out he was a Jew.
When he was 16, John Daly engaged in perhaps the ultimate form of teenage rebellion for a Jew: he became a neo-Nazi skinhead.
It was the summer of 1989, and Daly was living with his family in Ocala, Fla. He was a part of a non-racist, traditional skinhead clique that he says was coerced to join a hardcore racist skinhead gang based in Orlando. A few months later, that gang became a part of American Front, a nationwide skinhead organization that operated hand-in-glove with White Aryan Resistance (WAR), the violent hate group led by notorious white supremacist Tom Metzger.
Running the streets of Ocala with "my own pack of human pit bulls," often in a T-shirt with human skulls forming a portrait of Hitler, Daly rose fast through the American Front ranks, and was soon promoted to North Florida officer, or regional leader. Whatever Daly's reasons for initially joining the racist gang, he began to relish the power trip and the taboo rush of being a Nazi skinhead leader. But all the while, he lived in quiet terror that his "Aryan brothers" would discover that he was a Jew in their midst. "The more I saw what these guys were capable of doing, the more I became concerned for my well-being," he said in a recent interview with the Intelligence Report. "Eventually, I realized that sooner or later it was going to come out that I was Jewish, and I started keeping a diary to help law enforcement track down my killers."
Daly's worst fears were realized in October 1990, when American Front officers learned his secret, then lured him to a late-night skinhead party in Daytona Beach. There, he was beaten down, stomped, and nearly drowned in knee-high surf by seven other skinheads. Based on information Daly provided, his attackers were caught and charged under Florida's then-new hate crimes law, which enhances penalties for violent crimes motivated by racial or religious bigotry. Two high-ranking American Front skinheads were convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison. The Florida Supreme Court upheld their convictions in a landmark decision that is still studied in law schools.
By cooperating with law enforcement, Daly hastened the decline of the American Front. The group had faded into obscurity by the mid-1990s, but has lately been resurging. Earlier this year, two Salt Lake City men in their early 20s pleaded guilty to randomly attacking a black man as part of an American Front initiation.
Now 32, John Daly lives in Israel, where he sells real estate and speaks fluent Hebrew. He learned the language after repeated death threats prompted him to emigrate in 1997. The Intelligence Report recently interviewed Daly about his experience living a double life as a Jewish Nazi skin.
INTELLIGENCE REPORT: How were you introduced to skinhead culture?
JOHN DALY: Ocala was a small town when I was a teenager. Country music was the rage, but I couldn't relate to it, and I wasn't a jock, so I was on the fringes of the teenage social scene. When I was 16, I started hanging out with a bunch of guys who were into the traditional skinhead culture. We were non-racist. We even had a black guy called "Black Joe" who was into the culture. Mostly, we'd just hang out and drink beer. Whenever the jocks and rednecks would harass the skateboarders we'd offer the skaters protection. But overall we were far more concerned with where the beer would be coming from than we were with anything political.
IR: So how did you go from being a non-racist to a neo-Nazi skin?
DALY: Two of my buddies went to this punk club in Orlando, where they met up with some hardcore racist skins from a gang called AYF, or Aryan Youth Front, and these AYF guys told them, more or less, "Join us or die." You have to understand that, at this time, there was a blood feud in Florida between racist and non-racist skinheads. There was a group out of Miami called the Grudge Skins, who were SHARPs [Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice], and they were basically assassinating members of the Social Outcast skins, which was a white power gang. The Grudge Skins were shooting them. It was gang warfare. Our skinhead group in Ocala was basically neutral, and we thought we were too small-time to attract either side's attention, but when the AYF Nazis came across my friends in Orlando, they saw an opportunity to claim Ocala as racist skinhead territory, and they took it. They terrorized my buddies into giving up the names and addresses of the other traditional skins in Ocala. So one day in May 1990, there was a knock at my front door, and when I opened it there were three hardcore guys in their Nazi skinhead regalia—jeans, Doc Martens [boots], swastikas, bomber jackets. They said they wanted me to take a ride with them.
IR: Did you go?
DALY: Yes.
IR: Why?
DALY: I was afraid that if I refused, they'd force their way into the house. And if they did that, they'd see the flag of Israel my parents had up, and the Hanukkah candelabra. My two younger brothers were inside, and I didn't want them to be in danger. So I went for the ride. We got into a blue Suzuki Samurai owned by one of the guys, Ritchie Myers, who would later become the Florida state leader of the American Front.
IR: What happened on the ride?
DALY: They took turns telling me little stories about mysterious things happening to guys who used to be in their gang but proved to be disloyal, like, "So-and-so stopped answering our phone calls, and he was mysteriously run over," or, "So-and-so stopped coming to parties and he mysteriously caught on fire." Then Ritchie put his hand out over the seat and said, "Welcome aboard."
IR: How did you respond?
DALY: I really couldn't say, "I'm Jewish, so thanks but no thanks," so I shook their hands and right then I became a member of the Aryan Youth Front. After this little initiation ceremony, they drove me to this old Nazi biker's house. He had Aryan Nations flags up, and a faded red swastika tattoo on his arm. He made a scary impression, and gave credence to their threats that they were going to be keeping an eye on me and would find me if I ever bailed. The message the biker delivered was, "We are everywhere."
IR: How did Aryan Youth Front become a division of the American Front?
DALY: The AYF hooked up with a guy named David Lynch, who was the eastern states commander for the American Front. [Lynch] was based out of Port St. Lucie down in South Florida. He was one of the five initial individuals who started the American Front on the west coast with Robert Heich, or "Nazi Bob," who was one of the three skinhead guys on the stage of the "Geraldo" show when Geraldo Rivera got his nose busted [in 1988]. In the summer of 1990, the American Front was really cooking in Florida, and they basically absorbed a lot of small outfits, including our gang in Ocala.

Ohio State Hires Urban Meyer
Can he handle the pressure?
Pete Fiutak
The press conference to announce the hiring of Urban Meyer will be at 5:15 pm ET on Monday night. By 5:16, his tenure will become a disappointment because he hadn't
yet won a national title for the Buckeyes.
In 2009, Ohio State was 5-1 with a home loss to USC as the lone blemish, and then came the Purdue debacle.
The Buckeyes weren't awful, but they had a poor gameplan and the offense gave up five turnovers in the 28-16 loss. The roof caved in around Columbus with fans screaming that Jim Tressel had lost it – even though he took the team to four straight BCS games and two national championships – and with some arguing that Terrelle Pryor should be moved to wide receiver.
Ohio State went on an 18-1 run with a Rose Bowl win over Oregon and a Sugar Bowl win over Arkansas.
That won't be good enough.
For whatever reason, all the NCAA violations and all the ticky-tack penalties being applied to Ohio State don't seem to be having much effect to the Teflon program; it's all systems go save for a lost scholarship here and a double-secret probation there. Ohio State is just fine, and now it has the one of the three best coaches in all of college football – Nick Saban and Bob Stoops the other two. And now it's Game On with the intensity and the expectations jacked up even higher than they ever were under Jim Tressel.
With Meyer at the helm, there's no t-shirt for being the Leaders champion. There's no hat for winning the Big Ten title.
With Meyer as the head coach, Ohio State either wins the national championship, or the season is a failure. That's the deal. That's the pressure. That's what Meyer had to know what he was getting into from the moment he even thought about taking the gig. The fan base isn't going to accept anything less.
Even with all the NCAA stuff, Ohio State is still going to bring in a top ten recruiting class each and every year, and with Meyer, top three classes are going to be the norm. Even though Michigan is rocking this year on the recruiting trail, the Buckeyes are going to have more talent than anyone else in the conference in 2012, and for the foreseeable future, and it'll have far more four and five-star recruits than the rest of the Leaders division combined.
Penn State is about to be flattened by an NCAA/FBI/Department of Education nuclear strike, and Illinois, Indiana, and Purdue are Illinois, Indiana, and Purdue. That means Ohio State has a one-game season – Wisconsin – to win the Leaders. Not winning the division every year under Meyer will be a disaster of epic proportions, and not winning the Big Ten title each and every year will be unacceptable.
Forget about losing to Michigan. That could never happen under any circumstances, and now it's a given that there can't any blips against That School Up North.
It's national title or bust in 2012, 2013, and as long as Meyer is the head coach. But he has to prove he can hold up under the pressure.
Beating Alabama and winning the SEC title was one brand of pressure, but this is different. At Florida, losing a game to a Georgia or an LSU here and there is part of the deal. At Ohio State, where Tressel Ball because a derogatory term for being too conservative and not always winning by a big enough margin, Meyer can't lose. Ever.
It'll be a different kind of pressure, and the Meyer who went Howard Hughes-lockdown, batspit nuts at the end of his tenure in Gainesville is going to have to be ready for it.
He can't lose to Wisconsin. Ever.
He can't lose to Michigan. Ever.
He can't lose. Ever.
He and the Ohio State fan base are stuck in an exclusive circle of sports hell reserved for the Yankees, the Lakers, the Patriots, Duke and North Carolina basketball, and Alabama, Oklahoma, and LSU football – at least for right now – where either you win the championship or you don't. 99 people can stay something nice to you, but it's the one negative comment that you remember.
That's football at Ohio State.
That's football at Ohio State under Urban Meyer.
OSU set to introduce Meyer as next football coach.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Urban Meyer is returning to coaching - and to his roots.
The former Florida coach and native Buckeye will take over at Ohio State, a program with a glittering past that has suffered through a difficult year of NCAA violations, suspensions and a 6-6 record.
The university scheduled a 5:15 p.m. EST news conference to introduce its new coach. But it did not mention Meyer, even though there are numerous reports that Meyer has already agreed on a multiyear contract that could pay him almost $6 million a year.
After wild speculation for weeks about Meyer and Ohio State, ESPN reported on Monday morning that the two sides had reached an agreement. Meyer has been a game analyst for the network for the past year.
Meyer won two national championships in six years as the coach at Florida. He left the Gators a year ago, citing health concerns and a desire to spend more time with his family. Now, the 47-year-old will return to the place where his college coaching career began in 1986.
Earle Bruce, the head coach at Ohio State when Meyer was a graduate assistant, has remained a close friend and confidant of Meyer through the years. He said he had no concerns about Meyer's health issues.
"Well, if he'd had a heart attack and his heart was bad, I'd be worried about that," the 80-year-old Bruce said on Monday. "I'm not worried that he was stressed out over the game of football because he was thinking too much and not doing some things (exercising) that would have kept him straight. I think he got everything back under control by sitting out a year. I think he missed football. And he's good at it."
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith and other university officials did not respond to requests for comment.
A team meeting set for Sunday night was moved to Monday afternoon before the news conference to allow Meyer to meet his players.
Alabama coach Nick Saban, who played at Kent State and coached at Toledo in the Buckeye state, said he was happy for Meyer.
"I'm sure he's excited about it, and I'm excited for him that he has an opportunity to go back to his home state and be the head coach here," Saban said. "I think it's a wonderful opportunity and I think he'll do a great job."
Meyer takes over a program that is likely facing NCAA sanctions and was crippled by the forced resignation of coach Jim Tressel. The Buckeyes completed their only season under interim Luke Fickell with a 40-34 loss to Michigan on Saturday that snapped a seven-game winning streak to their rivals.
Wolverines coach Brady Hoke underplayed the role of the head coaches in the rivalry.
"I've known Urban, he's a good football coach, a good guy and I welcome him in," Hoke said on Monday. "But it's still Michigan and Ohio and neither one of us is going to play the game."
In 10 seasons as a head coach - two at Bowling Green, two at Utah and six at Florida - Meyer has a 104-23 record. His teams are 7-1 in bowl games, including the Gators' 41-14 victory over unbeaten and top-ranked Ohio State in the 2007 Bowl Championship Series title game.
Meyer had persistently denied all the talk surrounding him and Ohio State. Soon after Tressel stepped down, Meyer said he wasn't interested in leaving ESPN, where he was a college football analyst.
"I am committed to ESPN and will not pursue any coaching opportunities this fall," he said in a statement released the day after Tressel lost his job. Just last week he said no job had been offered to him nor was he pursuing one.
One of Meyer's broadcast partners and close friends is former Ohio State linebacker Chris Spielman.
"He enjoyed what he was doing, but I think he also had the bug to start coaching again," said Spielman, who added he would not be an assistant coach under Meyer as some have speculated. "We just kind of talked about the pros and cons of both throughout the year. He weighed all the options and there were jobs out there that definitely captured his interest and certainly Ohio State was one of them. He decided that it was the best move. This was just an opportunity that he couldn't pass up."
Meyer inherits a program still facing NCAA sanctions. But he also inherits a young team led by a freshman quarterback, Braxton Miller, who would seem to be a perfect fit for his spread offense.
A native of Ashtabula, Ohio, Meyer becomes the 24th head coach at Ohio State. He succeeds Fickell, who took over last spring when Tressel's 10-year reign came crashing down. Tressel was forced out for knowing but not telling his superiors that Buckeyes players had most likely broken NCAA rules by taking cash and free or discounted tattoos from the subject of a federal drug-trafficking investigation.
Missing several top players because of NCAA suspensions stemming from the tattoo mess, the Buckeyes were hit with more suspensions when three players accepted $200 in cash for attending a charity event and others were forced to sit out or had their existing suspensions extended for being overpaid for summer jobs.
Ohio State's .500 record marked the most losses at Ohio State since John Cooper's 1999 team also went 6-6 overall and 3-5 in the Big Ten.
The Buckeyes had already lost their string of six Big Ten titles when the school was forced to vacate the 2010 season for the NCAA violations. The school has also self-imposed two years of NCAA probation, offered to return $339,000 in bowl revenue from 2010 and to give up five scholarships over the next three seasons.
Ohio State is awaiting final word from the NCAA's committee on infractions. The committee tagged Ohio State with a "failure to monitor" label - second only to a lack of institutional control on the list of most egregious charges against a university. The school could still be hit with a bowl ban, a loss of more scholarships, or other penalties.
Meyer, who spent two years playing minor-league baseball as a shortstop in the Atlanta Braves system, also served as an assistant at Illinois State, Colorado State and Notre Dame.
At the urging of Bruce, he took his first head coaching job at Bowling Green (2001-2002) where he led the Falcons to records of 8-3 and 9-3 before jumping to Utah. Using a spread offense featuring quarterback Alex Smith, the Utes went 10-2 in his first year. In 2004, he led Utah to an 11-0 season and a Bowl Championship Series berth - making the Utes the first team to ever qualify for a BCS bowl from a conference (the Mountain West) that was not an automatic qualifier. After a bowl win over Pittsburgh to cap the 12-0 season, he was the top candidate for the jobs at both Notre Dame and Florida. He surprised many by becoming a Gator.
In his second season with the Gators, No. 2-ranked Florida beat unbeaten Ohio State, coached by Tressel, 41-14 to win his first national title.
Two years later, the Gators won another national title, beating Oklahoma 24-14 behind Tim Tebow.
The next year Florida contended for a repeat, but after losing the SEC title game to Alabama, Meyer said he was retiring from coaching, citing health problems. He changed his mind and was back the next day, saying he would only take a leave of absence.
After the 2010 season, he stepped down again.
"I fully grasp the sacrifices my 24/7 profession has demanded of me, and I know it is time to put my focus on my family and life away from the field," he said at the time. "The decision to step down was a difficult one."
The year respite must have done him good.
"It will be exciting to see what happens," Tebow said last week. "I know, more than anything, he wants to be right by his family and have their support in anything he does. Most of when we've talked it's been about that. When he comes back, he's going to be a great coach, and I'm excited to see what happens."
Meyer is expected to retain Fickell, who was paid $775,000 to be interim coach for a year - about $3 million a year less than Tressel made a year ago, on his staff.

"What a great location, on the door step of Trafalgar Sq. Easy access to West End to see a show. Charring Cross Station just around the corner, the Thames at the end of the street. The apartment is a little overcrowded with furniture but that is what we imagined an inner city London Apartment to be like. Kitchen had everything we needed even food wrap and cooking oil. Combined washer/dryer a bonus, put a load on before we left for the day and it would be dry when we returned. The pub below was a little noisy on one occasion, but it did not concern us as we used ear plugs and slept well being exhausted from our daily adventures anyway. We traveled from Melbourne Australia, we found early May weather cool but not cold, a jacket and scarf was needed most days and every evening. Overall would we stay here again.

LAWRENCEVILLE - A new Norcross study will create a "superblock" bounded by four main roads and give planners the chance to look closely at what an area near the city could become.The city received $100,000 from the Atlanta Regional Commission to fund the research for a Livable Centers Initiative project, or LCI. Community Development Director Jennifer Peterson said the process was competitive but that the city is looking forward to expanding a similar study conducted in Norcross' downtown in 2001. "I'm very happy about this," she said. "All the good things that are happening downtown are pretty much a result of that LCI." The new study will take place through the fall within an area bounded by Buford Highway, Beaver Ruin Road, Interstate 85 and North Norcross-Tucker Road. Peterson said the 2,000-acre area will be studied in detail, including transportation opportunities and what can be done to improve the quality of life. "We're going to get away from how Norcross has developed in the past, with a patchwork quilt of development," she said. The program's goal is to help local governments reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality by connecting homes, shops and offices, enhancing streetscapes and pedestrian amenities and improving access to transit options. The study area goes outside the city's boundaries and includes part of the Gwinnett Village Community Improvement District and some areas in unincorporated Gwinnett County. Peterson said she hopes the study will show area leaders how they can encourage substantial, significant redevelopment. "I think we've got a pretty good idea of what the community wants," she said. "This will allow us to take it to a level of refinement that the city's comprehensive plan will not."

Crime in Paradise
However, the actor did have a strong draw to his intense role in a new A&E Network original movie set beneath the steamy sun of Miami and based on a true story. In "Kings of
Troiano has founded South Beach's hottest clubs and has become a celebrity in his own right, even as he is constantly surrounded by the likes of Madonna, the Versaces and a never-ending stream of sexy models. In addition to a strong cast (which also includes Nadine Velazquez of "My Name Is Earl" and Ricardo Chavira of
Wahlberg's character, an undercover cop sent to bring down Troiano, is based on real-life detective Andrew Dohler. This fact, and the dramatic challenge that it presented, really appealed to Wahlberg.
"I've done a lot of police work already," he says, referring to previous roles in shows such as "Boomtown." "The real thing I got from Andy was the whole approach in undercover [work]. I actually had to be less of a cop. On the one hand, you never want to reveal to the guy you're working with, anything. You have to always cover your tracks and be a fast liar and be consistent with your story. At the same time, there's a certain pressure that you feel that you can't show the person that you're working to bring down, but you have to show the audience in order to entertain them. So it was really a matter of looking for opportunities to show vulnerability within a scene, but never to show it to the guy."
This drama and tension is powerfully evident in the scenes between Wahlberg and former "Boomtown" co-star Gedrick, as the ever-wary Chris constantly tests and questions Andy. While Wahlberg had the luxury of working with Dohler for research and inspiration, Gedrick was unable to have the real Chris around -- at least not during filming. But Gedrick relates a somewhat funny tale of an event that happened recently.
"I'm at a club," he says, "and I'm standing there with a friend, and I see like a shadowy presence in the distance. And I had this heavy, dark feeling come over me. I don't know what compelled me, but I was drawn to it, like I had to follow it. All of a sudden in my head, it just rang: Chris. So I walk up, and as I approach him, he must have felt me following him. And he turned around and said, 'You Jason Gedrick? You just play me in a movie?' And I said, 'Or someone like you.' He said, 'Well, at least they got someone good-looking to play me,' and reached his hand out. It was just such a bizarre sort of out-of-body experience. But it was surprisingly convivial, just a very sort of buddy-buddy conversation. Based on that meeting, I feel good."
And Gedrick has no concerns about what might happen once Chris sees the film.
"I think he'll want [the movie] to glorify him. Based on what I've learned and read, ultimately, just the fact there's a movie being made -- and in the movie, he's getting laid and is kind of the king -- I don't think he really much cares."
Both Wahlberg and Gedrick think the movie is of such quality that it could have received theatrical release. And Wahlberg explains that the story has indeed been eyed by studios.
"I know there's been much talk about making this a feature before we did it. This story's been thrown around a lot in Hollywood. [A&E] was sort of able to beat the studios to the punch. I sort of gravitate towards television in terms of work. It suits my personality better. I like to work at a brisk pace. I don't want to sit in my trailer for eight hours to do one page of work, and in a big movie, that's what happens. I want to stay on set ... stay close to it, because it sharpens my game. And I have to be better prepared. So, on the one hand, you could say, yeah, this could have been a feature and done tremendous things. But at the same time, feature people have been dealing with this project for a long time and never got it to see the light of day. You can scoff at that, or you can tip your hat to A&E."

More than 3 years after getting regulatory approval, construction is nearly complete on 1 of the state's largest feedlots, and it's located in Renville County. The Revier Cattle operation will increase it's number of beef cattle from 4,500 to more than 10,000. Permits for the feedlot in Norfolk Township say it will handle 11 million gallons of manure each year, comparable to a small city. Brothers Tom and Dave Revier have decided to treat the manure, instead of store it, and separate nitrogen and other plant nutrients that can be sold. The Reviers put their plans on hold after the world financial markets erupted in turmoil with the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. The delay gave them time to tour operations in Europe and Canada and make revisions to their expansion plan.

Future U: Rise of the digital humanities
Something old, something new.
Image via Samizdat Blog
Future U is a multipart series on the university of the 21st century. We will be investigating the possible future of the textbook, the technological development of libraries, how tech may change the role of the professor, and the future role of technology in museums, research parks, and university-allied institutions of all kinds.
Future U
Future U: fear and loathing in academia
Future U: Read all about it! College newspaper heralds future of journalism!
Future U: Library 3.0 has more resources, greater challenges
Future U: The stubborn persistence of textbooks
Future U: Classroom tech doesn't mean handing out tablets
The trends we have encountered in exploring Future U'social tech, the Web, crowdsourcing, data visualization, new tools and old concerns, the classics and the cutting edge'all seem to dovetail nicely into the nascent discipline of digital technologies. And digital humanities is, at its simplest, the use of digital tools and processes in the service of the humanities, those academic pursuits that focus on understanding the human condition.
As in so many questions whose rhetorical fulcrum is the application of new technology, a great deal of the sound and fury surrounding digital humanities comes from two extremes: those who believe the digital half of digital humanities will save the humanities half and those who believe it will destroy it.

NFL Opening Line Report For Week Four
- Updated: September 27, 2011
Week four in the NFL is here and some teams are starting to struggle to get their first win. Before placing any of your football wagers it is important to research the NFL opening line report from BetDSI and observe movement and public consensus.
Here is a look at some of the opening NFL lines for week four along with movement and public consensus.
The Buffalo Bills shocked the world by defeating the New England Patriots. The Bills are now 3-0 and proved that they are one of the best teams in the league. They opened up as three point road favorites against the Cincinnati Bengals and as could be expected, the public opened by putting some early wagers on the Bills. This line could jump the key number if the money continues to come in on the road team.
Houston (-3.5) Over Pittsburgh
The Houston Texans played tight on the road with the New Orleans Saints and they seem as though they can compete for a super bowl. Pittsburgh struggled on the offensive line and barely slipped by the lowly Colts. Perhaps that is the reason that the Texans opened up as four point favorites. The public have always backed the Steelers and early betting action came in to lower the line to 3.5.
Baltimore (-4.5) Over New York Jets
The New York Jets traveled to the west coast and were soundly beaten by the Oakland Raiders. Now they head back to the east coast and opened as 4.5 point underdogs at many offshore sportsbooks. The Ravens are a good team off a blowout victory, but the money came in on the Jets. The line has since moved to -3.5 as many people believe that this will be a close, hard-fought game.
Patriots (-4.5) over Oakland
The Patriots are off a tough loss to the Bills, in a game where Tom Brady put up four interceptions. Now the team will have to fly west to take on the Oakland Raiders, who are fresh off the victory against the Jets. This has not gone unnoticed. The line opened up at six points and has since been bet down to 4.5 points. The Patriots have always been a public team and this could easily be bet back up to six points before kickoff.
Check out the line report every week to get the edge on betting the NFL in week four.

Vermont city manager firedFebruary 07,2013
SOUTH BURLINGTON The South Burlington City Council has fired its city manager two weeks after putting him on administrative leave. The council said in a statement Tuesday that Sanford Sandy Millers aggressive and confrontational style was among the reasons for his dismissal. The council made its decision Monday.
The Burlington Free Press reported that Millers attorney, Scott Cameron, calls the councils explanation disappointing. He said the council made Miller the scapegoat for its own poor decisions.
The councilors said they doubt Millers commitment to carry out council decisions with which he disagrees.
Miller previously was city manager in Milton but left in 2009 after a falling out with the Select Board over contract negotiations.
He said Tuesday the council did not have just cause to dismiss him.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER An annual Vermont state report on child abuse and neglect shows that last year many...

If your shower doors are more of an eyesore than a sight for sore eyes, it's time to give your shower a facelift. Once you have removed the unsightly old doors, you can install new shower doors that will make your whole bathroom feel refreshed. Although there are several different types of shower doors, most of them are the sliding variety. No matter what type of shower door you have, the basic instructions for removal will be similar to these.
Remove the doors. Lift the shower door up to create a clearance on the bottom, and then slide the bottom part of the door over the bottom rail. Start with the door on the outside of the fixture and then move on to the inside door. Remove the inside door in the same manner.
Remove the rails. Examine the mounting points for your shower door rails. Some shower doors have a small cap that must be pried off; others will have a visible screw. Remove any component needed to access the mounting screws, and then remove the screws. Start with the top rail, and then move to the bottom.
Separate the caulking. Use a utility knife to remove or separate the caulking. Properly installed shower doors will have caulking applied to the bottom and the top. It may be necessary to separate the caulking before removing the shower door frame or rails.
Apply caulk solvent. Clean up the areas you removed the caulking from. Purchase a caulk removing solvent to help you. Make sure the solvent is safe for use on your bathtub and walls.
Fill the holes. Determine how you want to fill the holes left behind from the mounting screws. A simple tile grout will work well with tile walls. If the holes were drilled into your tub, you may have more difficulty filling them. A waterproof cap is an inexpensive fix but won't look as professional.
Non-sliding shower doors. If your shower door is a one-piece unit (non-sliding), the process for removal will be slightly different. Rather than lift the shower door from the rack, remove the pieces mounting the door. In some cases, the top rails and the side rail with the door attached can be removed together.
