Islanders' options open in search for men's basketball coach
CORPUS CHRISTI - Tim Fitzpatrick has been mum so far on what he specifically is looking for in Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's next men's basketball coach, but there can be a few assumptions made and a few expectations about where Fitzpatrick will look.
With Perry Clark's contract not renewed Monday, there are a few obvious things on the list for Fitzpatrick, who is making his first coaching hire as the school's athletic director.
Win. Fitzpatrick believes his programs should be in the top tier of the Southland Conference. Let's face it, this was a down year for the league, and the title was there for all to grab.
Be clean. A good guess is Fitzpatrick will avoid any NCAA baggage toted around by would-be candidates. A&M-Corpus Christi was dragged before the Committee on Infractions a few years ago for major men's tennis and volleyball violations and minor ones in men's basketball. Fitzpatrick was at Indiana when the Kelvin Sampson NCAA storm hit the fan. So it's safe to assume a clean résumé is a given.
Put fans in the stands. The American Bank Center has seemed a much lonelier, desolate place over the past few seasons. Attendance dropped every season Clark was at the helm and is down nearly 1,150 fans a game from 2007. The new coach has to build the groundwork beyond the few diehard fans and boosters who remain. It's community outreach.
But where to find someone with those qualities? And should Fitzpatrick attempt the tried-and-true Southland methods or think differently?
Find a Division II (or lower) head coach
The pros: The coach is accustomed to the life of lower-tier basketball. The Southland is a bus league. No private jets. There will be no culture shock like Clark admitted he experienced in his first season. Bonus points if the coach knows the area or league well. The cons: He has to elevate his recruiting targets. The Southland can get hammered as a low-major, but the talent level is, as a rule of thumb, better than D II. The game is different at each level, and that extends to coaching.
Southland examples: Doug Davalos, Texas State; Danny Kaspar, Stephen F. Austin; Mike McConathy, Northwestern State; Corliss Williamson, Central Arkansas; Jim Yarbrough, Southeastern Louisiana. Davalos, Kaspar, McConathy and Williamson all knew the area and the league well when they were hired. Kaspar has built a Southland power in 10-plus seasons at SFA. Davalos had some shaky early years, though his team was fourth this season. Yarbrough, a very successful head coach at Valdosta (Ga.) State, has competitive teams, but hasn't made the big breakthrough. Williamson moved from junior-college coaching this past season, but UCA is a massive rebuilding job. McConathy had a strong background in NSU basketball when he came from a JUCO. He has redefined that program.
Promote from within
No knock on Cy Alexander, Kim Lewis and Mark Dannhoff but, when a head coach doesn't have his contract renewed, his assistants aren't likely to get promoted. However, one of Ronnie Arrow's former aides could be a possibility.
The pros: Knows the program. Knows the league. Knows the players. Knows what type of players should succeed in the league.
The cons: There's a reason Clark's contract wasn't renewed. Right or wrong, it's guilt by association.
Southland examples: Scott Cross, UT Arlington; Jason Hooten, Sam Houston State; J.P. Piper, Nicholls; Steve Roccaforte, Lamar. Cross has led the team to the NCAA tournament, though his rebuilt bunch didn't make this year's postseason. Hooten kept SHSU on solid footing after long-time coach Bob Marlin left. Piper has kept the Colonels in the league tournament despite the difficulty of winning there. Roccaforte had a great first season, but has regressed dramatically since.
Tap into the Southland
Bluster or not, former athletic director Brian Teter claimed he had "discreet inquiries" from at least two Southland head coaches when Clark was hired.
The pros: See "promote from within".
The cons: A diverse background always is helpful. May be inclined to pass on players who aren't "Southland kids". And, as the league's national profile is suffering, is hiring from within it the way to go?
Southland example: Dave Simmons, McNeese. A longtime Southland assistant, Simmons assisted McConathy at NSU when the Demons popped Iowa in the NCAA Tournament. Simmons has had rough patches, but McNeese won the league this year.
Hire a big-time assistant
No No. 1 guys here. Most power-conference assistants who would consider the Islanders opening would be No. 2 guys at best. So, those hoping for the top assistants at Duke or Ohio State or Pitt, don't hold your breath.
The pros: Obviously did something well to get to the big time. Chances are they've learned from a highly regarded coach and a big-time assistant. They have access to players who might not normally consider the Southland. Name recognition never hurts.
The cons: Culture shock at the lower level (see Clark). Must be able to shake the big-time feel of power-conference ball for a bus league. They soon learn the kids who talked to them when they were in the ACC or Big Ten won't return those calls now.
Southland example: Brooks Thompson, UTSA. Thompson previously served as an assistant at Southeastern, so he had league knowledge. He has had more lows than highs with UTSA, though his team made the tournament this year.
Hire a mid-major assistant
The pros: Usually this will be a top assistant, perhaps a rising star in the coaching ranks. Knows the mid-major way well. Might be able to tap into better-quality recruits. Might have learned from an esteemed mid-major coach. Likely knows NCAA success.
The cons: Usually they are very young. Might not be fully ready for a head-coaching position. Might want to put in two good years and hitch a ride to the Sun Belt or whatever league is next on their list.
No Southland example right now.
A lot of coaches get fired this time of year. Some have name appeal.
The pros: Will work hard for a second chance to prove themselves. May have worked at a high level. Think their contacts can help in the Southland.
The cons: Why were they fired in the first place? Usually, it involves losing. Sure, some people deserve second chances but, as an athletic director, do you gamble your big hire on a second chance? Fail in this search and they may soon be searching for your replacement.
Southland example: Clark. And that's why there is a job search.

If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough
I am loyal, driven, charismatic, witty, intelligent, sarcastic, world traveled, athletic, and eventually looking to settle down with the right woman. I have a talent of being able to communicate with and meet people from all walks of life. I can have just as much fun at a homeless shelter as I can at a country club. I work very hard and strive to achieve a balance in my life, so I like to play hard as well. I am a bit of an adrenaline junky and do a lot of things that most people would consider "crazy". I love jumping out of helicopters with my skis on and pushing myself to the limits in everything I do. I love the outdoors; skiing, snowboarding, water skiing, hiking, four wheeling, and all field sports. I also enjoy spending time out on the town; going to nice dinners, sporting events, movies, clubs, etc. I also truly enjoy staying home and spending time with my dog. In other words, I can have fun doing just about anything. I am very driven and goal oriented. I graduated high school at 15, college at 20, started my first company at 21 and sold it at 26. All while playing college lacrosse and traveling the world with Team USA.

I have faced and dealt with a great deal of adversity and struggle in my life. For this, I am truly grateful. All of the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and heartaches have strengthened me...you may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you. Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records I am looking for someone that is fun, smart, honest, loyal, a woman of substance. Of course she needs to be attractive, I am very selective, but that only goes so far. I am searching for a woman that can appreciate my independence, can get dressed up and go have fun on the town, can pack up and go on a trip last minute, or can stay at home and watch movies all night. I am looking for versatility!! There are three things that I will not settle with in a relationship: Chemistry, Communication, and Commitment.

There is so much to appreciate in this great...
There is so much to appreciate in this great big old diverse world we get to play in...like my friends, anyone who can make me laugh, reading, a great meal, a good red wine, old classic movies, my trusty old vintage Mustang, hard workouts, compassion, common sense, autobiographies, music, kindness, generosity, intelligence, gratitude, confidence, writing, passion, meeting new people….and adventure. I live in the realm of the romantic possibility of falling in love and having a fulfilling and passionate and lasting relationship based on a communication, a strong friendship and chemistry, with each person bringing their own unique attributes and life experiences. You are someone with whom it takes me several times to say goodbye; someone with whom the last kiss of the night is next to impossible not to follow with another; someone with whom it feels awkward walking next to while not holding her hand; someone who can speak volumes to me with just a certain look; and someone whose presence in my life makes me laugh and smile. You are intelligent, curious, kind, have a great sense of humor, are a great friend, have close family relationships, and a great passion and appreciation for life. You are a good communicator , respect and love men who are men and are looking to find a relationship with chemistry, compatibility, friendship and passion

TSMC to start trial manufacturing Apple's next generation A6 chip
Reuters is reporting that Apple is conducting trials with Taiwanese chip manufacturer TSMC for its next generation A6 processor; according to sources familiar with the matter.
TSMC has got all the authorization and details ready. Whether Apple puts in a formal order will depend on the yield rate, said the source, who was not authorized to speak to the media. The source did not provide further details of the orders.
This could be a significant development in the ongoing "copy-cat" lawsuit between Apple and Samsung. Samsung is currently the sole supplier of the current generation A5 chip which is used in the iPad 2. The A5 chip is also widely rumored to be the chip of choice for the next generation iPhone 5 too. It appears that Apple may be looking to sever its ties with Samsung for its future chip production.
The A6 processor will likely debut in the iPad 3 when it is launched next year. Apple tends to introduce new processors to the iPad line of devices first, then introduces them to the iPhone and iPod touch when they are updated.

TSMC to start trial manufacturing Apple's next generation A6 chip
Highly doubtful that Samsung has anything to do with Apple's A5. The only thing they do is fab the parts, and Apple basically owns the whole design.
The Cortex-A9 CPU cores are licensed from ARM Holdings. Apple is likely just licensing the transistor, circuit masks (how the circuits, transistors are laid out on the silicon) from them. Apple tells Samsung to build to said masks.
The PowerVR GPU cores are likely similarly licensed from Imagine Tech.
The logic glue is likely all Apples.
The memory chips (RAM) in the package can be swapped out at will between various vendors.
I don't know where the chips are assembled into the packages that you recognize as the A5 SoC.

give backpacking a try
Yosemite National Park is one of the top backpacking destinations in the world so if you are in any way so inclined bring your backpack. Even if you have just been thinking of giving it a try, it's a great place to do it with trails for all levels. There are also countless hikes of shorter duration if you are just looking to day hike.
Equipment: Backpacking requires the proper equipment. You will be walking in the wilderness and will need to be self-reliant. A good quality tent is essential in most terrains and unless it's unlikely to rain, make sure it's properly sealed. A proper sleeping mat is another thing not to scrimp on. It not only makes it more comfortable, it acts as an insulator to keep you warm. Your sleeping bag is your life line to keep you warm and get you warm if you develop hypothermia. A compact stove can be viewed as optional but if hiking at elevation, a warm meal and beverage can be a life saver, not just something nice to eat. You'll need a good pack to carry everything and of course, all the clothes and gear you'd need for any type of mountain day hiking.

Lots of choices
Let's see . . . what is there to do in Yosemite? It's not all about staring at gorgeous vistas or leisurely strolling through a meadow. For the more adventurous there are tons of options. Here's a list for you that includes activities for every season . . . biking, climbing, rafting, stable rides, backpacking, camping, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, tubing and snowshoeing.
For more details see the website below.
Go for a walk to Mirror Lake
One of the more mellow /moderate hikes in Yosemite Valley is to Mirror Lake and back. There are two paths to take you there -- one is a dirt trail, over rocks and through the trees. Very beautiful. The other is a paved bike path, considerably easier to walk and still pretty, but not as beautiful. When you hike the dirt trail, you'll share with horseback riders, so be aware of that.
Mirror Lake is at the base of Half Dome, and at one time acted as a beautiful reflecting pool of Half Dome. Over the years it has silted in and it's quite as reflective as it once was. It is, however, still beautiful.
And, of course, if you visit Yosemite in late Summer, there isn't any water in the lake at all. Instead you can walk to the middle of the "lake" and relax on it's soft sand, while gazing up the sheer face of Half Dome and meditating on life
Turn around and try to spy the rock climbers on the cliffs opposite Half Dome.
Equipment: Good walking shoes, water, sun screen and mosquito repellent.
One of the most habitual activities in the park is climbing, we saw lots of groups preparing for it. As it was summer and too hot for serious climbing, the lowest ones were more busier than the big ones.
Hiking in Yosemite
Yosemite is a hiker's paradise. Even if you don't have the time, experience or inclination to take an extended jaunt through Yosemite's beautiful backcountry, there are hundreds of trails of varying lengths of difficulty in Yosemite Valley and Tuolomne that can be done in an hour or several. There are a few trails the originate from Glacier Point and environs, such as the Taft Point and Sentinel Dome hikes, which are short, relatively easy but extremely rewarding.
Hiking in Yosemite part II
Most of Yosemite's shorter trails are well marked and easy to follow. Some involve scrambling over rocks or steep uphills, but, on the whole, these trails are not too taxing. Plus, the view of the valley below or a thundering cascade of water from above are well worth the effort of a few breathless minutes of struggling up a trail.
Rocky trails
Some trails, such as this short one to Bridal Veil Falls, involve crossing over large rocks. Although it looks relatively easy to scramble up and jump from rock to rock, the slippery surfaces make it easy to lose your footing and fall. I saw some people wearing sandals and flip flops do just that and I would advise against it. Throw on a pair of hiking boots or sneakers if you have them before you attempt to cross this slippery path.
More hiking options
Compared to hiking across granite rocks or trails strewn with pebbels, hiking on the dome surfaces is a treat. The smooth glacier carved surface provides excellent traction, making it less likely that you'll fall. The real trick involved in hiking on domes is not to look down, especially if you're afraid of heights.
Rent a Bike
The Valley is mostly flat and that makes it so easy to cycle along the roads and bike paths. You get to some really lonely spots where no buses go, and it's just you and the odd hiker. It's such a great experience, the clean fresh air, the sunshine, the mountains, the scenery etc.
Cycling is not allowed on most of the trails.
Equipment: You can rent a bike at Yosemite Lodge and Curry Village. I paid around 10 $ for 2 hours cycling.
Bikes are not great, but okay for the paths you will be cycling.

Hiking / Tuolumne Meadow - Soda Springs.
At over 8600 feet in elevation, Tuolumne Meadows offers a break from the heat and some of th crowds commonly found in Yosemite Valley. Because of its elevation, temperatures in Tuolumne average 15 to 20 degrees cooler than Yosemite Valley.
During our visit to the park we made 2 hikes and stayed for a while in Yosemite Valley. The first hike was over the Tuolumne Meadows. This is the largest alpine pasture of the Sierra's. The bright green colour form a beautiful contrast to the bald granite rock peaks surrounding it. Some peaks retain snow throughout the summer and therefore provide breathtaking views. It was quite a flat hike and took us via the log-cabin of the Sierra Club to a water well, the so calles Soda Springs.
The water comes right out of the ground and is ready for consumption. We tried it, but the iron level in the water is very high and therefore doesn't it taste too well, but it's very, very healthy.

Tenaya Lake, kids boating fun!!
We spent an afternoon by Tenaya Lake, it was lots of fun, we found this body of water right next to the lake, like a small whitewater rafting area, that allowed us to put our kids in an inflatable boat and let them float down (we had them on a string of course). The around scenery was beautiful, lots of trees and mountains. Fun time!
- Adventure Travel
- Water Sports
Many people visit Yosemite for the climbing opportunities. The vertical grantie walls would probably challenge anyone and would hopefully scare off an amateur. But even if you're not into climbing, if you have binoculars with you, take a close look at some of these walls, especially El Capitan, and you can watch the tiny figures inching their way to the top.
Hiking / Tuolumne Meadow - To lose yourself.
Mysterious woods and enormous steep rock faces definately contribute to the popularity of Yosemite. About 3 million tourists visit Yosemite every year which makes it the best visited National Park of California.
When we drove the Tioga Pass (at 9.945 feet the highest motor vehicle pass in California) we noticed a number of scenic turnouts and parking areas. Mostly located along the Tioga Road. We had a difficult decision to make wheather we would stop at Tenaya Lake or Tuolumne Meadows. Finally the last option became our favorite, don't ask us why, it was just a feeling.
We didn't feel sorry about it, as we soon learned that Tuolumne Meadows is the perfect place to lose yourself/ It's just a proof that nearly 95 percent of Yosemite National Park is officially designated as wilderness.

Valley Floor Hike
This hike loops the valley floor. The total hike is 13 miles but has a good half way mark to make the 6.5 miles. It is a beautiful trail, very easy to hike BUT very difficult to find, especially near the village and camp 4. One main problem is the lack of signage throughout the trail but especially in the more popullar areas near Yosemite Falls. I actually spoke to 4 different rangers and None of them can actually give good directions as to finding a good starting point.
One good thing is you really can't get lost. The loop runs the same route as the North bound and south bound drives, crossing the road several times and there are only a few locations where you can't actually hear traffic on the road. More signage would make it more enjoyable and not waste a bunch of time trying to figure out what side trail is the actual route.

Hiking Half Dome
This is a popular, but pretty strenuous day hike. Half Dome is over 8,000 feet tall. The hike to the summit involves an elevation gain of 4,900 feet over about 8 and a half miles. The final push to the top is steep and rocky; cables have been set up to assist with the ascent and descent.
Although this is on my list of must do things, I wasn't able to squeeze it in since the hike involves at least one very full day. I'm hoping to go back and do this one at a later time and bring back a picture from the top.

Covered bridge, New Hampshire Number 20. This bridge is very long and 2 lanes. Don't miss the standing plaque that explains the history. Longest two-span covered bridge in the United States. Love the sign as you enter the one side - "Walk your horses or pay two dollars fine."
We were on our way to the St. Gaudens National Historic Site. We were driving from the south and we saw the bridge. After seeing St. Gaudens, we drove back to get out and see the bridge and drive across. Great example of an America gone by.
I'm from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where we have a few covered bridges, mainly crossing local creeks and tributaries...but this covered bridge must be the Granddaddy of 'em all. It crosses over the Connecticut River from New Hampshire to Vermont (and vice versa) so you get one L-O-N-G ride over the river. It is in fine repair and is an obvious...
Omg, this was the first covered wooden bridge I've been on. This is such a cute bridge with sooo much history. Very cool to get a chance to go over.
Just looking at this bridge is worth the visit. Driving over it from one state to another and back again, over and over - that may get a bit tired. Add to that the fact that Saint Gaudens, the American Winston Churchill, Learned Hand, Maxfield Parrish and J.D. Salnger, among others, made the same trip over the same bridge -...
What a great touch of 19th-Century America. One lane, very long, and well-maintained. It took us back a lot of years. We're so glad we found it !
Beautiful drive to visit the Saint Gaudens Historic site and happened on this bridge connecting Windsor VT with Cornish NH. Stopped to take some photos with the mountains for background. Loved the sign that there was a $2 fine for taking horses across. Met a man who said in the 1990s the ice from the Connecticut River got so high...
This bridge is one of the best examples of the covered bridge and the Saint Gaudens museum is just a few hundred yards away. I'd point you to the museum as being more interesting than the bridge, in fact. The area as a whole is well worth an excursion.
We tried to find the museum for the Cornish art colony on the other (VT) side of the bridge but were unsuccessful. The visit to nearby Saint -Gaudens National Historic Site was fabulous.
We had to drive across this bridge to get onto I-91. A sign above the entrance read there was a $2 fine for riding through on a horse! It had large wood cross beams overhead and spanned the river. While it is a very long covered bridge, it only took a very short time to traverse it by car.

This is my second Noah cover (for two different cars) and I find for the money it is probably the best available. Thick enough to offer good protection it is also easy to install and roll up. Fit is always perfect and I find they last at least as long as advertised. After more than 5 feet of snow and below zero temperatures last winter my MX-5 Miata still looked like the day I covered it. There may be more expensive covers but for the money these are the best. Highly recommend.

Need Script to collect failed backup report
Hi All,
Can anybody help me to get a script to collect failed backup report on daily basis and last successful backup for the failed clients? Below are the overview of environment :
Master Server : Linux- Netbackup 7.1
Media Server (6 in no.) : AIX- Netbackup 7.1
Clients : Mostly- Netbackup 7.1
Comments 8 Comments • Jump to latest comment
You should consider to deploy OpsCenter for backup reporting.
Opscenter is free if you have Netbackup
OpsCenter analytics is licensed.
Assumption is the mother of all mess ups.
If this post answered your'e qustion - Please mark as a soloution.
We used the following (dirty) UNIX script on a daily basis utilising the bperror command mentioned by Flako (it does not, however, detail the last successful client backup - I'll leave that to you!) (EDIT: but you could incorporate, for each failed client, bpimagelist -U -client $CLIENT -d 12/31/12 | head -3 | tail -1 or something more appropriate to yourself?)
bperror -backstat -U| awk '($1 > 1) {print $0}'|cut -c8-20|grep -v \ CLIENT|sort -u > failed_clients if [ ! -s /app/site/scripts/failed_clients ] then echo "No clients have had any failed jobs in the last 24 hours" rm failed_clients exit fi echo "The following clients have had one or more failed jobs in the \ last 24 hours" echo "**************************************************************\ *************" echo cat failed_clients| while read CLIENT do echo echo "JOBS RUN FOR CLIENT $CLIENT" echo "*********************************" bperror -backstat -client $CLIENT| cut -d " " -f6 | sort -u > \ failed_jobid cat failed_jobid| while read JOB_ID do echo echo "JOB_ID $JOB_ID" bperror -backstat -U -jobid $JOB_ID done done rm failed_clients rm failed_jobid
It *will* also report if said failed job re-started & completed successfully (using the same job_id)
(***EDIT #2: just realised OP is nearly 2 months old & no return since - hopefully managed to work something out!)
Regards Andy
First i do a "bperror -backstat -hoursago 48 -U |grep -v ' 0 '"
In a script i read the client, the policy and the schedule of the failing job.
For every failing client/policy/schedule i do a
"bperror -backstat -U -hoursago ?? -client <client> | grep <policy> | grep <Schedule>"
That way i see if and when was another run of the failing job.

root@klnnbus1:/ :-)
if someone has a way to get a report - opscenter, UNIX shell, Perl whatever - of failed backups and not failed jobs, please share it with us. l'm begging symantec for this report for years.
To clear it more, I do not want to see at the report a job that failed and the succeeded. This is a succesfull backup
Hmmm ..... have seen jobs fail & show as failed in the Actiivity Monitor but subsequently re-start as a different job ids & succeed - that's gonna take scripting beyond my basic skills!
Regards Andy
A report of "failed backup and not failed jobs" ??
Thats what parameter "-backstat" in the bperror CMD means "back(up)stat(us)" .
You dont have to mess with job ids or restarts or whatever.
Just do the
"bperror -backstat -U -hoursago ?? -client <client> | grep <policy> | grep <Schedule>"
and you get a Date Sorted List of the Backups for this client/policy/schedule.
But you are right, there may be several ways to get to a nice list. ;-)

That's not cheating. It's like taking a shortcut in a race or something. Oh, right. That is cheating. ;-D
I only had 8 to go and they were *really* annoying me. Once I looked at the answers I realised that I didn't have a chance of getting them.
when i checked through the answers i saw loads that i'd got right but spelt wrong, eg, "the monkees" instead of monkies or monkeys, and "A flock of seagulls" instead of just flock of seagulls.
it's like a weight off my shoulders now i know all the answer

I don't think so. I used an excel plugin called password remover. Basically it removes locks on sheets and files. Made by someone called Staxx or something similar. Free to use too.
>>when i checked through the answers i saw loads that i'd got right but spelt wrong,
That's my pet peeve about these sort of quizzes. Not that you don't get it right but that they often get it wrong. No excuse for the examples you mentioned though!
Current annoyances (but not from this quiz):-
The Beetles (The BEAtles)
The Monkeys (The MonkEEs)
Rolling Stones (THE Rolling Stones)
S. Club Seven (S Club 7)
Deaf Leopard (Def Leppard)
The Wonderstuff (The Wonder Stuff)
The exchangability of "and" and ampersand (&)
Adding spaces at the end by accident.
General mis-spelling of normal words.
It is a total repressed anger thing. You can waste so much time and convince yourslelf you're wrong when you're right.

Desperately seeking help with a music quiz…
About 3 months ago, a "friend" sent me this music quiz. Basically there are 270 photos of bands from the last 50 years, what you need to do is write the name of the band under each picture and it tells you if you are correct.
Now, I happen to know a bit about music but I've only managed 122 out of 270. it's driving me nuts, :evil: I don't know what to do… I'm posting the file here completed as far as I can in the hope that someone might be able to help me finish it.
At one point I managed to break the password on the document but all that did was throw up another password and a message saying I was a cheating f***er!!! :oops: :oops: :oops:
Any help much appreciated.

Originally written on Fox Sports Tennessee | Last updated 1/14/13
MEMPHIS, Tenn. The Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies were each missing a star Monday night. Memphis missed its star way more than Los Angeles. Without Chris Paul, day-to-day with a bruised right kneecap, the Clippers seemingly had no problem beating Memphis, 99-73, at FedEx Forum. Without Rudy Gay, at his grandmother's funeral in Maryland, Memphis (24-12) scored a season-low and shot just over 30 percent. Los Angeles (29-9) showed just how deep its bench goes and how little it drops off, offensively and defensively. "We contested a lot of shots. We were on our rotations a lot and just put a hand in their face," said Blake Griffin. "It's hard to stop a team when you don't know who's going to be the focal point." Griffin had only 10 points in less than 25 minutes due to foul trouble but it was a defensive and offensive clinic from the Clippers' entire roster. Los Angeles' bench outscored Memphis' starters 54-47. Four Clippers scored in double digits. The game's two lea...

DES MOINES, Iowa – Gov. Terry Branstad notified federal officials Friday that Iowa policymakers intend to create a state-based health insurance exchange under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act but need many questions answered before they will be in a position to proceed.
To that end, Branstad sent a letter to Kathleen Sebelius, head of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, detailing 50 questions he wants answered to make an informed decision and criticizing the "intrusive" federal mandate.
"I cannot provide you with a set of timelines or complete details about the exchange until our state receives clear, binding rules from your department," Branstad said in his letter.
"Forcing an exchange decision on states based on an arbitrary timetable, would be like forcing a consumer to buy a car without knowing the vehicle's price tag or fuel economy," he added. "If forced to make a decision with incomplete information, then I have no choice but to default on some level to a federal exchange. That is not my preferred path forward."
The federal legislation allows states to implement their own exchanges, enter into a partnership with the federal government or allow federal officials to spell out operations of an exchange for them.
Under the health care exchange, individuals and small businesses would use the new framework to shop for health insurance among competing private plans and receive subsidies. The law – intended to make health coverage available to most of the uninsured – calls for legislation to be enacted before Jan. 1 or the government will step in to establish a federally operated exchange.
Branstad spokesman Tim Albrecht said the governor's letter was intended to abide by an "arbitrary" notification deadline that was set for Friday but pushed back to Dec. 14 "because the federal government does not have the answers or capability to administer the Obamacare program."
"This deadline was not pushed back to give the governors more time, rather it was a lifeline to help save themselves," Albrecht noted.
However, Sen. Jack Hatch, D-Des Moines, the lead person on health-care issues for Democrats who hold a majority in the Iowa Senate, called on Branstad to "stop playing partisan political games" and start helping improve the health care of Iowans.
"While 17 other states are making health insurance better and easier to purchase, Iowa's governor is complaining about 'process' rather than catching up," Hatch said in a statement. "Iowans of both parties simply want Gov. Branstad to work with the Obama administration to make buying private insurance easier and to help uninsured Iowans."
The Senate Democrat said federal officials agreed to a request from GOP governors for additional time to determine how best to go forward in establishing their health-insurance exchanges and he hoped Sebelius' overture will convince Branstad "to stop complaining and start working on solutions" with federal officials, state lawmakers and Iowa health care providers and consumers.
In his letter to Sebelius, Branstad said his top priorities as governor are to protect the health, safety and welfare of Iowans, promote Iowa's fiscal well-being and ensure the state remains a leader in job creation and income growth.
"I continue to have concerns that an intrusive federal exchange would raise costs on individuals and businesses, making it harder for them to create jobs and raise family incomes in Iowa," he wrote. "In fact, I have even greater concern that the health benefit exchanges proposed in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) do nothing to address the quality of care or make our population healthier."
Branstad said he has pledged to work in a bipartisan fashion with Iowa legislative leaders and federal officials to create an exchange but the path to consensus rests with HHS leadership in Washington.
"Our intention is not to default to a federal exchange," Branstad said in his letter, "but the road blocks and impediments in front of us may leave us no choice."
Sebelius, as a former governor of Kansas, is familiar with the challenges state face in "trying to navigate the murky waters of implementing a federal mandate without clear guidance," Branstad added. He said Iowa officials have met all of the deadlines for health benefit exchanges, are updating vital systems and technology within the state, have met with critical stakeholders for input on exchanges, and have a solid framework for how an exchange could operate in Iowa.
"However, we continue to struggle with too many unanswered questions on topics critically important to the final development of an exchange that meets the needs of Iowans, including the cost of building and operating an exchange," Branstad added.

11. Officially Defined
"Twerking" was added to the Oxford Dictionary of English (along with the all-too prevalent "selfie") following the Miley Cyrus VMAs performance in August. "By last year, it had generated enough currency to be added to our new words watch list, and by this spring, we had enough evidence of usage frequency in a breadth of sources to consider adding it to our dictionaries of current English," explains Katherine Connor Martin of Oxford Dictionaries. "The current public reaction to twerking is reminiscent in some ways of how the twisting craze was regarded in the early 1960s, when it was first popularized by Chubby Checker's song, 'The Twist.'" Not bad company.

Implementation of Hardware Stack TCP/IP Using Virtex-2 Pro FPGA
Date Added: Nov 2009
Format: PDF
There is a general consensus that in years to come more and more Internet devices will be embedded and not PC oriented. Just one such prediction is that by 2010, 95% of Internet-connected devices will not be computers. So if they are not computers, what will they be? Embedded Internet devices. One popular solution is to use an 8 bit microcontroller such as Rabbit 2000, AVR or PIC and an Ethernet MAC such as a CS8900A or RTL8029AS hanging of its parallel port pins in 8 bit mode. A Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack is normally written in C and can be striped of features and ported to these resources limited microcontrollers.

This piece has been featured in the FAA Group "Promoting Through Various Websites".
William Bradley "Brad" Pitt (born December 18, 1963) is an American actor and film producer. Pitt has received four Academy Award nominations and five Golden Globe Award nominations, winning one Golden Globe. He has been described as one of the world's most attractive men, a label for which he has received substantial media attention.
Pitt first gained recognition as a cowboy hitchhiker in the road movie Thelma & Louise (1991). His first leading roles in big-budget productions came with A River Runs Through It (1992), Interview with the Vampire (1994), and Legends of the Fall (1994). In 1995, he gave critically acclaimed performances in the crime thriller Seven and the science fiction film 12 Monkeys, the latter earning him a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and an Academy Award nomination. Four years later, Pitt starred in the cult hit Fight Club. He then starred in the major international hit Ocean's Eleven (2001) and its sequels, Ocean's Twelve (2004) and Ocean's Thirteen (2007). His greatest commercial successes have been Troy (2004) and Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). Pitt received his second and third Academy Award nominations for his leading performances in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) and Moneyball (2011). In addition, Pitt owns a production company, Plan B Entertainment, whose productions include The Departed (2006), which won the Academy Award for Best Picture, and Moneyball, which garnered a Best Picture nomination.

u.s.s. defiant
defiant class
general overview
all i ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by
A Defiant-class starship is a heavily armored, limited-role Starfleet vessel developed at the Antares Fleet Yards in response to the Borg threat to the worlds of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. The project was officially begun in 2366 by Starfleet's Advanced Starship Design Bureau (ASDB) under less then ideal conditions, as far as the accepted normal sequence of research, development, testing, and evaluation was concerned. Fortunately, a number of hardware innovations and design adaptations were already in the inventory and allowed for an acceptable level of reliability versus speed of systems integration and vehicle construction.
the defiant is stationed at deep space nine
Defiant-class vessels are constructed of standard tritanium and duranium alloys and composites. The bridge has been submerged within a larger Deck 1 than was envisioned for the pathfinder vehicle, and the entire vessel has been shortened to four decks plus allowances for crawlways and cable trunks. The notched forward hull has been equipped with a detachable pod consisting of the vehicle's main sensor and navigational deflector, airlock module, and a last-resort matter-antimatter warhead. The warp nacelles have been brought inboard to a minimum safe distance for field EM, and all EPS weapon-power conduits have been truncated to provide a nearly zero lag time between activation signal and beam launch.
All protected internal systems that require access to the vessel exterior are equipped with articulated or jettisonable hull plates, so that most of the familiar structures are hidden from view, including shuttlebay doors, docking ports, lifeboats, impulse vents, and consumables resupply connectors. An integral set of ventral docking clamps and landing pads had been designed into Defiant for possible ditching operations as well as for recoverable planetary landings. No practical demonstration has been attempted, though simulations indicate that if the impulse and reaction control thrusters are fully operational, a successful liftoff to orbital velocity is likely.
the defiant is the first warship build by the federation
Construction history
The USS Defiant NX-74205 was one of at least three Federation starships to bear the name, and the prototype of the Defiant-class vessel. the Defiant-class was specifically designed to counter the Borg. Soon after the first vessel was completed however, a combination of a less urgent Borg threat and several design flaws caused Starfleet to suspend the project. Benjamin Sisko became intimately involved with the project while stationed at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards after the destruction of the Saratoga at Wolf 359. Early in 2371, as Federation-Dominion hostility escalated, the Defiant was taken out of storage and assigned to Deep Space 9 to protect the station from the Dominion, who had recently destroyed the USS Odyssey, a Galaxy-class starship. It was Starfleet's first true warship and had no provision for families or diplomatic missions, no science labs, no holodecks, or any of the other comforts of home. It was a heavily armored, stripped-down vessel that was created as a first strike vehicle for use in war, and incorporated the latest in Starfleet weaponry and defensive technology. As befitted its role, the U.S.S. Defiant was considerably smaller than most Federation starships. It had a normal operational crew of 40 people, but could accommodate up to 192 in emergencies. Work on the Defiant project began in 2366 after Starfleet was alerted to the threat of a Borg invasion. The ship also was granted special dispensation to carry a Romulan cloaking device. The Romulans loaned and allowed the limited supervised use of the cloaking device in the Gamma Quadrant only. In return, the Federation would provide the Romulans any and all intelligence data collected in the Gamma Quadrant about the Dominion.
Once the Defiant prototype had proven itself, Starfleet took the decision to put the Defiant-class into production. By the end of 2373, there were a significant number of Defiant-class ships in operation, and over the next two years they played a vital role in the Dominion war.
The Dominion War
The Defiant fought valiantly throughout the Dominion War and participated in the majority of its battles.
The ship was used in Operation Return to reclaim DS9 and stop the Dominion from the dismantling the minefield and bringing in its reinforcements from the Gamma Quadrant. After failing to stop the Dominion from destroying the minefield, the Defiant entered the wormhole in a vain attempt to stop the Dominion reinforcements. Captain Sisko convinced the Prophets to intervene and they destroyed the Dominion ships. They also made the wormhole impassable to any further Dominion incursions.
Several months after the Federation retook DS9, Jem'Hadar captured the Defiant while it was on a scientific mission to study a subspace compression anomaly. The Defiant was reclaimed, with the help of a runabout that had been shrunk to only a few inches long
Several weeks later the Defiant rescued the survivors of its sister ship the Valiant, which had been destroyed by the Dominion.
the defiant disabled by the breen energy dissipator
The Defiant participated in the First Battle of Chin'toka. The ship located and destroyed the power source for the Orbital weapon platform, thus helping the Federation Alliance to conquer the system.
The Defiant's short but illustrious life ended during the Second Battle of Chin'toka, when the ship was disabled by the Breen energy dissipator, and subsequently destroyed by Dominion weapons. Another Defiant-class ship, the U.S.S. Sao Paulo, was assigned to Deep Space Nine on Stardate 52861. Given the U.S.S. Defiant's exceptional record under Captain Sisko's command the Chief of Starfleet Operations gave a special dispensation to change the ship's name to Defiant. On this ship, the shield generators were completely reconfigured so that it would not be affected by the Breen's energy-dampening weapon. This new Defiant played a distinguished role in the final battle with the Dominion at Cardassia Prime, and remains stationed at DS9.

wow lets play the snot out of the west! And don't think for a second that there manager isn't a shyster, riding on the coat-tails of scamming. A knife in the back and more of the same.
bt reduction
just kidding ... i love blue turtle
yo stealin' - get a map and realize that this band doesn't have a lot of cash or a huge following. check out the clubs they are playing. this is a local band trying to build a local following. so they are not playing red rocks and deer creek... but if you have been to great basin or the starry plow you would know that blue turtle will be playing a bunch of small gigs at some great places.
Blue Tutle is amazing. I saw them at wakarusa late night at a small tent and they ended up being one of the best bands to play the festival. The amount of fun they have perfroming was something I hadnt seen in a while. Just pray for there perfect gentleman cover it is very niice. hopefully they make it to chicago sometime...
stealin said it. their manager is beat and has screwed over a bunch clubs in the mountains. its too bad becuase the band seems cool even though i am not into their music.
if any of you were at las tortugas this weekend youd know blue turtle knows how to throw down, or is at least able to put together a wicked weekend of music. may not love the music, but gotta love the vibe.
Big props to the Turtles for a great weekend at Las Tortugas! Looking forward to you guys returning to Long Beach!
Wait, their manager is totally nice. This is BS. Good luck on the road fellas.
all west coast does not count as a tour.
This band just got done with touring fatty style all year!!! they have an awesome unique style and their energy is so much fun. YAR! see ya at winstons. haters stay home ;)
They NEED to come to the EAST COAST !!!
Im curious how a manager can screw over a club? ist it usually the other way around?
alot a jerks in this outfit...
My band opened for them in Truckee once at a festival called SOULstice that raised money for underprivileged kids. They actually played for 1/2 the cost that they normally do and were super friendly to the opening acts. Honestly, I don't like their music - but as far as I can tell they are genuinely good folks...never dealt with their manager though.
Huge Tour brahh! CA and NV
I dont know if I can trust people who seduce the blue turtles. I know the blue turtles, they deserve better...
"alot a jerks in this outfit..." Yeah, here's another one here. A LOT is two words.
fyi: Blue Turtle fired their manager whom is referenced here. Give em a break.
Love the Turtle! These guys are fun as hell. Just got back from Las Tortugas and can't wait for next year. Now if only we could get them on a Midwest tour....
Blue Turtle Seduction....fucking lame....
Blue Turtle needs to NEVER play another show EVER again... worst.band.ever.
this band rocks. period. shitty manager is long gone and the music can speak for itself. seriously a great group of guys too. go see em live!
BTS just toured all over the east coast and CO. etc etc....the last 2 months. They need to hit up the upper midwest indeed. This is a homecoming tour, all of their fave places to play. Wish I could do em all. I cant get enough. Las Tortugas was fuckin amazing last weekend, and it waas great to hear BTS play every set with creativity and tightness with no repeats and a lot of special guests. The new chapter is starting in their history and its exciting to hear whats unfolding. I hope they stick around for a verry long time, because I feel that sing alongs and great melodies lack in this music scene, and while BTS wont provide hawt Trey like guitar solos, they provide what a lot of bands dont for me.
I actually just caught a couple BTS shows in Denver and thought they were pretty awesome. There is a ton of energy in that unit. I had the pleasure of speaking with a few of them and I didn't think they were jerks at all!?
I did hear their manager was recently let go, maybe they are on a new horizon? I don't know, but I wouldn't let a manager stop me from seeing a great live band. And that, they are.
I have a lot of respect for these guys. They work hard and play even harder. It showed this weekend at Tortugas and at every show. Change is good and I look forward to the future. I think they have a really good thing going and I love their music.
They Are a good band and I've had good times carving turns to their tunes. I know too much about the seedy under belly of the music world, remember Lenny Hart??? Like I said before, " A knife in the back and more of the same". They have been dealing with a shyster, they just need a little enlightening.
I think yall are right on and I've been doing some research and I did not know they fired the lenny , job well done!!!!!!!!! Go BTS . And GOBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Long live the TURTLES!!!!!!

Product description
One spring morning two men cutting peat in a Danish bog uncovered a well-preserved body of a man with a noose around his neck. Thinking they had stumbled upon a murder victim, they reported their discovery to the police, who were baffled until they consulted the famous archaeologist P.V. Glob. Glob identified the body as that of a two-thousand-year-old man, ritually murdered and thrown in the bog as a sacrifice to the goddess of fertility. Written in the guise of a scientific detective story, this classic of archaeological history--a best-seller when it was published in England but out of print for many years--is a thoroughly engrossing and still reliable account of the religion, culture, and daily life of the European Iron Age. Includes 76 black-and-white photographs.

Elizabeth Wayland Barber received her Ph.D. from Yale University in 1968. Her research and publications focus on various aspects of anthropology and language. She teaches archaeology and linguistics at Occidental College. Paul T. Barber received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1968. He is a research associate at the Fowler Museum of Cultural History at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Review quote
A fascinating account of the discoveries and of what they tell us about the life and death of the Iron Age people. -- "Times Literary Supplement" Glob deserves gratitude not only for preserving these astonishing underground survivors physically, but for a fascinating exposition of their way of life. -- "Daily Telegraph" A splendid book, full of detail and fascination not only for the specialist, who would indeed benefit from reading it, but for anyone interested in the techniques and results of first-rate archaeological research. -- "Nature"

Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort photographed in February 2008:
These two hotels on Disney property are operated by Westin and arranged on an axis on opposite sides of a small formal lake. Both were designed by famous architect Michael Graves and his prolific office as a complimentary pair. Both are typical of the Postmodern forms of his work, featuring bright abstractions of iconic architecture and in this case highly stylized tropical themes. His other work for Disney includes the Team Disney Building at the Disney Studios in Burbank, CA. Although it is a striking and sophisticated complex, its close proximity to the three Robert Stern-designed resorts (all of which are lower buildings with more traditional themes) makes it a rather imposing attention-grabbing neighbor.
The smaller of the two, the major elements of this building are the large arched midrise and lower wings decorated with wave patterns and topped by two swan sculptures and two scallop shell fountains. Smaller swan sculpture fountains are located at the porte cochere, courtyards between the wings, and inside the lobby. The lobby entrance from the lake features a brightly striped pavilion inspired by beach cabanas while a large rotunda inspired by a tropical lath house serves as a restaurant and leads to the pool. Another, called the Grotto Pool, extends around the lake on one side to connect to the Dolphin's own pool and forms an extensice recreation area.
The larger of the two, the major elements of this building are the triangular highrise, sloping midrises flanking each side decorated with banana leaf patterns and topped by 2 dolphin statues, and lower wings topped with 4 lotus fountains. The lobby entrance from the lake features more of the brightly striped pavilion details inspired by beach cabanas, as well as a giant stepping scallop shell cascade. The massive porte cochere on the other side is decorated with more dolphin details and fronted by a dolphin statue fountain.

From the moment its members were named, this commission labored under a cloud of suspicion. For the most part, commission members were not chosen because of their national security expertise, and some of the members have reputations for fierce partisanship, not to mention vested interests in the outcome of the inquiry.
Richard Ben-Veniste, former Democratic counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee investigating former President Bill Clinton and a veteran of the Watergate inquiry that led to President Richard M. Nixon's resignation, has a well-earned reputation as a partisan attack dog. Jamie Gorelick served as both the Deputy Attorney General and the General Counsel of the Defense Department during the Clinton administration, roles that put her in the line of fire with respect to questions about the Clinton Administration's own anti-terrorism policies.
Nor are some of the Republican members any more qualified or less actively partisan. Fred Fielding may be good at keeping secrets -- Bush entrusted him with vetting Cabinet officers for the current administration and he served as White House counsel in the Reagan administration -- but his foreign policy credentials are pretty thin. Former Illinois governor Jim Thompson, too, has little background in intelligence, national security or foreign affairs -- and both Fielding and Thompson are unquestionably loyal Republicans.
You can go down the commission list on both sides of the partisan divide, and with the possible exception of former Sen. Bob Kerry, most of these members seem to be either inexperienced in the areas they are charged with examining or too political.
It's easy to say that these members can put aside partisanship in the national interest -- but it is a great deal more difficult to do. This commission should not have been bipartisan but rigorously non-partisan. It is too late to fix now; the damage has already been done. The real tragedy is that we may never learn the necessary lessons from our past intelligence and policy failures to prevent future ones from occurring -- and costing American lives.

It finally happened.
Rumors gave way to reality as Urban Meyer accepted the head coaching position at the Ohio State University Monday.
Many Gators fans -- and a few former players -- are upset with Meyer's move, calling him a liar and questioning his loyalty to Florida.
However, at the end of the day, current UF wide receiver Andre Debose put it best when he said that college football is a business.
Meyer had a great deal of success with the Gators, revitalizing a football program that was on life support after three tumultuous seasons under Ron Zook.
Two national championships.
That's twice the number Spurrier won in half the time.
Whether you're at peace with how Meyer left Florida or if you hate him, you cannot deny that his time at the helm in Gainesville was one of the most successful stretches in college football history.
Meyer came to UF and did what was expected of him and more.
Granted, he is largely responsible for the current problems at Florida.
Failing to recruit sufficient depth and an inability to instill discipline in the 2010 recruiting class are mistakes made by Meyer that have plagued a horrid 6-6 season for first-year head coach Will Muschamp.
Yet, those problems will not determine his legacy.
Urban Meyer is a nice guy and a hard worker, who had trouble with his priorities while he was the head coach of the Gators.
A year later, he stands reformed and healthier, ready to get back into coaching.
Columbus is his new home and those who used to praise his name as recently as two years ago should be happy for him.
Meyer has moved on to what he considers a "dream job."
How the hell can you fault a guy who went after what he wants?
Admittedly, his methods were severely flawed, but I believe Meyer never intended to screw over anybody in the Gator Nation.
He knew what he wanted then and he knows what he wants now.
Wishing him anything but luck and health moving forward would just be pathetic and bitter.
Meyer has moved on and so should Florida, as hard as it may seem.

Hey Jude/Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
By John Lennon
Hey Jude/Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band composed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Arranged by Jay Bocook and Omar Carmenates. For Marching Band (Score & Parts). Performance/Easy Limited Edition. Grade 4. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.3745403).
Mallets and woodwinds accompany a sensitive baritone solo as this Beatles classic starts to unfold. The chart builds to a peak just as the entire band breaks into singing the famous refrain. What a great spot to involve the entire audience, then the exciting rock strains of "Sgt. Pepper" power this chart to a rousing finish!

I had an OM1 and loved it. I ended up trading it, I got great value for the trade and I am happy I did it, but boy I miss that camera. One thing is that they are designed really well. Everything is easy to use and works the way it should. (There are, however, some very unconventional things about them that do take getting used to.) Also, the lenses are really nice and, unlike other manufacturers, they are very small to fit the scale of the camera. I had a 135 3.5 that was tiny, it was about 3" long and 1.5" across. Also, there is an incredible simplicity about the design, no extraneous do dads or whatchamacallits. Just gorgeous.Originally Posted by luvmydogs
If I get back in the 35mm market, I will seriously consider the OMs. For now, I am shooting medium and large format and not missing 35mm. If I had an OM4 I wouldn't use it anyway! Of course, that doesn't mean I don't want one!
