Halvorson opposed a U.S. ban on military-style assault weapons."The voters sent a message last night, not just to the NRA, but to the politicians all around the country. There will be a moral price as well as a political price to be paid for inaction," Biden said.Biden made his comments on a day when the Senate Judiciary Committee was holding a hearing on reviving a 1994 ban on assault weapons that expired in 2004, one of several measures he and Obama recommended lawmakers pursue.Democrats in the Senate have split the proposals into four bills in an effort to get at least some of the less controversial measures - such as expanded background checks for gun buyers - passed into law.The split is an implicit acknowledgement by Democrats that a ban on military-style "assault" weapons is unlikely to clear Congress.Biden devoted very little time in his 45-minute speech to the proposed ban, spending more time discussing less-controversial measures such as improved background checks for people who want to buy guns, and an increase in mental health research and services.

Pharrell Talks About New Albums by Tyler, the Creator & Miley Cyrus
Some weeks ago a picture of Pharrell Williams and Tyler, the Creator in the studio with Miley Cyrus appeared on Instagram. Ever since then, it hasn't been a secret that Skateboard P is involved in the upcoming fourth album of the singer. In a conversation with MTV, Pharrell states her new record "is nowhere near what you think."
"Her sound right now is her personality...That's what we've been aiming for in the studio."
In addition, Pharrell delves into his book Places and Spaces I've Been and artists that he'd like to hear more of in 2013. He also shared some details on Tyler, the Creator's new album, referring to it as "crazy." It deals about issues that people go through and features "more comprehensive" rhymes as well as enhanced production. P also describes Tyler's state of mind as "hungry" and ready to surprise the industry. See the interview above.

Inspired Second Half Comes Up Short
Feb. 25, 2012
Box Score | News Stand | PL Tourney Tickets | PL Tourney Central
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Lafayette cut a 14-point halftime deficit to five on three occasions in the final minutes, but the comeback fell short on Saturday as American held on for a 76-69 win in the Patriot League regular-season finale.
Fifth-seeded Lafayette will now play fourth-seeded Holy Cross on Wednesday in the Patriot League Tournament Quarterfinal in Worcester, Mass. The teams split the season series with each team winning on the other's home court. The Crusaders were Lafayette's first-round opponent in the 2011 tournament when Lafayette advanced to the Patriot League championship game.
Ryan Willen had his third double-double of the season and seventh of his career, finishing with 16 points and 13 rebounds. The Leopards outrebounded a Patriot League opponent for the third time this season, 45-31, the team's largest rebound margin of the season. Seth Hinrichs pulled down a career-high eight rebounds to go with Willen's career-best performance.
Lafayette (12-17, 7-7) and American (19-10, 10-4) traded 7-0 runs to open the game with AU taking its first and Lafayette responding. The game was tied 9-9 at the 12:33 mark. The Eagles ripped off a 20-2 run. Tony Wroblicky had five points in the span and Mike Bersch added two three-pointers and Charles Hinkel contributed another as AU led 29-11 with 4:48 left in the opening stanza.
Hinrichs stopped the AU spurt with a drive and dunk. American led by as many as 20 twice in the first half and held a 36-22 advantage at intermission. Lafayette shot 30 percent from the floor in the first half including 1-for-11 from long range.
The Leopards came out of the locker room with renewed intensity, slicing the American lead to 10 (53-43) with 10:39 left on Jim Mower's three-pointer from the top of the arc off a Hinrichs' feed. Mower finished with 10 points as one of three Lafayette players in double figures.
Two minutes later, Bersch put back a missed Hinkle jumper to push the AU lead back to 14. Nick Petkovich followed with a three, and three free throws from Willen moved the deficit to eight (57-49) with 5:49 left.
Troy Brewer (13 points) nailed two crucial three-pointers on consecutive possessions and Daniel Munoz added a layup as American led 65-51 with 4:41 left. Rob Delaney, who finished with 14 points, drained a three-pointer with 1:37 left to put the score at 68-62.
Willen's layup with 1:19 left in the game put the Eagles' advantage at five and again with 37 seconds remaining on two more Willen foul shots. The Leopards pressured the inbounds pass but Blake Jolivette sneaked away down the court to put in a layup that ran the final to 76-69.
Lafayette shot 37 percent for the game and 7-for-28 from three-point land. The Eagles fared better from long distance, converting 10-of-17 (59%) while shooting 47 percent from the floor.

If you are referring to me, Jding, then yes, I am a part of the field of education. However, if big government to you is someone who protects, provides safety and teaches, then I believe we need more public sector jobs in the USA to help get America were it needs to be. The Romney went past the line, calling out people who sacrifice their lives to help build America and voters will not forget that one. Anyways, teachers have been a huge part in everyone's life and that is the point that the JPSB doen't care about.
Oh, watchthm, I already beleive that you can be a hemorrhoid on Warren Buffet. Tax equity in America is needed, the workforce has sacrificed too much and it's time for the 1% to get off of their high horse.
Advanc.e Publications own many papers and internet servers-for-papers in different states all over the US. That is why anyone who signs up to comment can also comment in any other Advanc.e Publication internet-based news websites. I have been commenting in their Massachusetts, Gulf Coast and New Jersey sites for a while. It is interesting comparing each state's news.
Thanks for mentioning the 1% and Buffet, watchthm, because Buffet was the one who helped write the legislation to have the top 1% pay their FAIR share of taxes, like the rest of the 99% does already.
You do have a point, euphnetic. Unless, some of the big name- money advertisers dropped their accounts, which are still visable on the articles. Hopefully, everyone who wasn't offered a job by the other agency, finds one. Like I stated in another article, Jindal's policies have affected Louisiana's economy and he can't blame Obama because Jindal turned most of the federal stimulus down. Look at the repercusions of Jindal's failed, politically-pandering "budget cuts."
nan_Dugg_124, Louisiana received a C- for corruption out of all the US states and, there were no "A" ratings. That is only a 72%, which is actually a "D" when it comes to grading on a college level. This does NOT look good for Louisiana's government, but it didn't stop Jindal from using taxpayer money to go to all of his out-of-state conferences that has nothing with helping Louisiana. After Jindal's obviously politically-charged and unmoving speech at the Chicago CPAC, people have realized that his rhetoric over Obama supposedly not helping out Louisiana enough,( when Jindal turned down most Stimulus money) was a just unrealistic. Jindal is a crook of the taxpayer, and now, Louisianians have to deal with the loss of jobs under Jindal's failed leadership.
State-By-State corruption report cards, not even one state received an "A"
I could help but notice the top 3 least corruptive states are all Democratic states: New Jersey, Connecticut, and Washington. However, the 3 most corruptive states are Republican states: Georgia, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
Since Jindal likes to talk about report cards so much these days, then how come Louisiana has a 72 pt C- in state government corruption? This hasn't helped out Louisiana in the past and it won't help out Louisiana in the future until the state government corruption stops.
We either need another stimulus and/or close the Tax loopholes for the corporations/individuals who are gaining record profits, but not creating enough net jobs. Corporate welfare needs to be cut no matter what.
Bobby Jindal caused cut majority of the public sector, which in turn, was supposed to produce more private sector jobs, but it just hit a plateau. Federal stimulus money was offered to all of the US states, but four, almost five extremely conservative governors turned it down. Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alaska, and Texas(Almost) turned majority of the stimulus money which started as a "we can do it on our own movement" to a " Let's turn down Obama's money, to make the economy look worse under his administration." However, the "fiscally" conservatives (Jindal) and Tea partiers didn't realize that producing legislatures on cutting budgets in the public sector would cause more of a fiscal crisis, iaccording to the May 2012 job's report. Unemployment did rise under these states and Bobby Jindal's "Anyone but Obama, no matter if we bring down the economy" agenda was frowned upon at the Chicago Conservative Political Action Conference this past friday. Washington Post calls Jindal out.
"What Jindal probably believes, rather, is that this kind of over-the-top comment speaks to something genuine in the conservative id. But it does so by ignoring the reality of the Obama administration's policies." Washington Post with Bloomberg, June 11, 2012 by Ezra Klein
Articles about Aamir Raza and the RAZA Consulting group on his"reforms," which didn't work.
New York schools and Aamir Raza, when he worked for the New York Department of Education, Charter school office:
Raza is TOXIC to charter schools!
I wouldn't sign the contract, Stuart Guy, because it is a huge set up. The RAZA consulting group is brought in to demonize and intimidate teachers and student in public charter schools just to break them, then the RAZA Consulting group will buy the schools, fire everyone, make money off of the student's MFP funds, put in place a "temporary staff," then sell the schools to another charter operator and leave. The corporate vulture process at the expense of our children. Here is something else, according to the Louisiana Department of Education 2004 LEAP/GEE scores, a lot of the schools in ACSA were already doing fine before Katrina, so ACSA picked schools that were already on the rise to glorify their non-profit organization.
Aamir Raza is about to face legal action for telling the teaching staff at Eisenhower Elementary School to not "sign into work" for the last month that school was in session. This Raza guy has done nothing to help improve the schools that he was working for. It is almost like he set the principals up to fail.
This law currently exists since last year, all drivable and unmobile cars have to have insurance. These are the same politicians that complain about Obama's health insurance, talk about "treading" on Louisiana.
If you have a car that has been parked on your property, that you are trying to afford to get fixed, but do not have car insurance because you are not driving it yet, you should NOT be forced to carry insurance. There has been so many times that I have had to have my insurance faxed because of proof of insurance coverage, so how is it possible that cars will be towed without positively knowing that the car is covered? The LA government is just waiting for some lawsuits and tax payer money lost. Big FAIL.
agreed, M gear.Colleges have faced budgets every year since Jindal took office. There are plenty of articles in the TP that has been covering the state colleges' budget cuts. Notice how they didn't mention budget cuts to public education. Is there not enough money in the cookie jar left for these politicians to steal? The student's Rhodes scholar money was enough to take? The arrogance of Brett Geymann.
Also, when has teachers not been held accountable? That would mean the board and the state aren't doing their job either, if what you stated were true, digitdck. The Paleo conservative policians who keep demonizing teachers, firefighters, policemen, postal workers, and all public sector workers have to realize just ONE thing, they are also a PUBLIC worker. Hypocrites! Meza, Jacobs and all who have fallen for the Jindal trap will realize their used puppets, once they do not receive the political favors promised, like others.
I guess it is real "funny" that unemployment is shooting up from all of the teachers getting fired. Meza had a big salary at UNO doing nothing and now he's getting paid extra to close schools, fire teachers and bring in out of state workers. The business tycoons who are poking fun at teacher's jobs will realize how hard it is without work when they lose their jobs to people from Venture For America corp. Republicans are just giving away the 2012 election by demoralizing the public sector. Keep on, Romney's numbers just keep decreasing.
Spoken like a true Koch puppet, atls7
You are pulling a Romney gaft, digitaldarkns?
Romney said this about Obama, "He says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message in Wisconsin?"
Romney's gaft shows his true colors on dismantling all government services. Even Scott Walker of Wisconsin had to call out Romney, to defend the public sector. Very embarassing for the republican party. Some of the Jefferson parish public schools that closed were not failing, so those teachers don't deserve to have a job? Support their family? Live? Jindal and his, "Conservatives against the public sector" war needs to stop. Families are suffering and the more they suffer, the more people will vote against Jindal.
"Education Department officials say they will try to place as many voucher applicants as possible, but they will turn to a lottery system to select students in schools that have more applicants than space. Students not picked might have the chance at attending another site, but that is not guaranteed."
This is very scary, especially for parents. The threat of gambling their child, who was awarded a voucher, in a "lottery system" that may find out that the voucher will be taken from them. This is an example of what happens when Jindal-backed BESE members elected a Jindal-Backed state superintendent, John White, a man with no true experience in the field of education, to make vital decisions involving our children's academic success in Louisiana. The parents that are promised vouchers and lose them to the "lottery" should be able to take legal action against Jindal for passing his "nightmare" education voucher bills. John White will leave the state no matter what the outcome is because he is just paid to deliver the voucher system to Louisiana then move on back to New York to become mayor Bloomberg's defunding public education tool. Parents and children should not be used to further Gov. Jindal's national agenda. Bobby Jindal needs to be recalled!
Some of these vouchers have gone to schools were no site visits were even attempted. John White really has some explaining to do to the voucher parents of the private schools that have accepted more voucher students than they even have room for. What was Jindal thinking?
"There are two classrooms permanently set up at the school — not enough to accommodate 135 new students. " cited from American Press, June 11, 2012

Police are still investigating exactly what led to that shoot-out around 3:30 a.m. Monday outside a bar in Mount Pocono.
Late Monday police identified the victims as Eric Williams of East Stroudsburg and Greg Cousar of Mountain Pocono. Williams is in serious condition at Pocono Medical Center and Cousar is in serious condition at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Hospital.
Police said the shooting happened as the Copa Bar and Grille off Route 611 was closing after a birthday party.
For most of Monday police investigated the shoot-out in downtown Mount Pocono.
Police found a sea of shell casings outside the Copa Bar and Grille.
The bullets also took out two car windows plus a window at the bar.
A few shots made their way into the outside of an insurance company.
"Where the shots were on the other side of the wall my employee normally sits so I was a little worried," said State Farm agent Beth Moloughney.
Officers descended on the scene about 3 a.m. after the shooting, scouring the street looking for clues.
Police are investigating what started a fight outside the bar that led to the gun battle.
They do know there was more than one shooter.
The victims were taken to hospitals by their friends.
Police said nearly two dozen shots were fired outside the Copa Bar and Grille. The bar is located in a very busy section of Mount Pocono. The street where the shooting happened is lined with businesses. The bar is also located across the street from Momma D's Daycare. The owner is especially concerned because her business is open all hours of the day.
"We are very worried because we have very late hours, extended hours Monday through Friday and there are many nights we're here until 2:30 a.m., 3 a.m.," said Dorine Pinkney of Mamma D's Daycare. She cares for infants, toddlers and pre-teens, many times early in the morning or late at night for her customers who work in Manhattan. "With the gunshots all over the place something could have come through the window. I have plenty of children here I have to guard at all costs."
There is another day care center just across Fork Street, facing Route 611. The owner of Noah's Ark said she smelled trouble coming from the Copa Bar and Grille.
"The crowd there has been a little outrageous every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It's been clubbin' up there til 3 a. m. and there's a lot of violence and things going on there haven't been in the past," said Keynanna Williams of Noah's Ark.Police are not sure what led to the argument that ended with Monday morning's shoot-out.
Noah's Ark closes at 7 p.m. and the issues at the Copa have been late at night and early in the morning. Still, Williams worries about safety.
The same goes for April Franks, a parent of four and a woman who takes her children to Noah's Ark.
"I left the New York, the Bronx, to get away from this and it's here so it really sets in that it's everywhere, I guess," said Franks.
While she is concerned, she will continue to send her children to Noah's Ark.
While there is the physical danger, there is also a financial danger. Williams said her day care business has been increasing. A bad neighbor could put an end to her success. She wonders what parents will think.
"I don't want them pulling up thinking, I'm not bringing my kids in. I'm going to lose my clientele if it's not in order," Williams added.
Police in Mount Pocono said they have been working with the bar's owner to make sure his bar is run properly, and police add whatever happened there Monday morning started in the street, and not in the bar.
Police said they are interviewing witnesses, and they have some persons of interest in the case. The two hurt are recovering from gunshot wounds.
So far no one has been arrested.

Patrick Gale
Tue, 09 Dec 2008 11:38
While working on his first novels Patrick Gale eked out his slender income with odd jobs; as a typist, a singing waiter, a designer's secretary, and as a ghost-writer for an encyclopedia. His first two novels, The Aerodynamics of Pork and Ease were published on the same day in June 1986.
Mark Thwaite: What gave you the idea for Notes from an Exhibition?
Patrick Gale: My first inkling was that I was simply going to write a novel about a family weathering a spectacularly difficult mother then I hit on the idea of her an artist. Women artists are tidy paradigms for the situation of the modern working woman, torn in two or three directions at once and guilty every time they want to dedicate themselves to their work rather than to traditional housewifery and motherhood.
MT: Rachel Kelly is a formidable character -- how did you come up with her!?
PG: The real heart of her character jumped off the page at me when I was reading some Anne Sexton poems. Sexton wrote with astonishing honesty (for a 50s housewife) about her ambivalence towards her mother and children and, most importantly for me, about her resentment of her children when she wanted to work. She was bi-polar, and wrote about her poetry – not least in two poems I quote at the book's front – which led me to develop Rachel's character further with what I learned from the writings of Kay Redfield Jamieson about the fascinating inter-relationship between bipolar disorder and creativity. I've said that Rachel is my scariest mother to date but I hope she also leaves readers with a sense that all the damage she causes around her might just be worth it for the wonderful paintings she creates.
MT: How long did it take you to write your novel? Is this the usual time-frame for you?
PG: I tend to think slow and long then write fast. This book was pretty typical in that what I call the compost heap period – when I read and think and take notes but don't actually write any of the text – lasted about two years while the collected days of writing the thing probably took about eight months.
MT: What were the major challenges in writing Notes and how did you overcome them?
PG: I am not a painter, so writing as a painter and about a painter felt even more of a stretch for me than writing as a woman. I'm very musical and music has a way of creeping into my novels but this time I consciously barred all music, or pretty much all, in an effort to make myself emphasize the visual elements for a change and reveal the characters by the way they look at things rather than the music they listen to. Writing about Rachel's illness was tough too because I was keen not to make it melodramatic but also not to make it sound easy. I've had close friends with Bipolar Disorder, including a boyfriend who killed himself because of it, so I was sharply aware that I probably ended up soft pedalling some of the nastier aspects of the disease's effects so as not to lose the reader's sympathy.
MT: What does it mean to you to be on the Richard and Judy reading list?
PG: I feel as though my fairy godmother has finally noticed me tugging on her skirts after 20 plus years of writing. It's quite astonishing and very very exciting suddenly to find a book of mine being sold on station platforms and airport counters. The hope now, of course, is that this Richard and Judy effect will lead to all these new readers discovering all the other titles in my back catalogue!
MT: Do you read the critics? Have you been pleased with the responses to your book? Have you learned anything from them?
PG: I always read the critics, even though it can hurt. Luckily I do a fair amount of book reviewing myself so I never forget how subjective the process is, that a book can simply be the wrong book for a certain reader. However this time around I felt really lucky as I not only had a handful of truly stunning reviews but I found myself getting lots of really moving and perceptive responses from "ordinary" readers visiting my website, galewarning.org.
MT: How do you write? Longhand or directly onto a computer, straight off or with lots and lots of editing?
PG: I write in longhand. I love computers and new technology but find it's all terribly distracting. I've also always jumped at any chance I get to write out of doors, partly because it feels healthier than being slumped in a chair, but mainly because I'm so easily lured away by things like the phone, cryptic crosswords, sudoku, cooking, the garden etc etc. I'm very lucky to live in an idyllic, seaside location with all sorts of fabulous writing spots. My favourite is a field of ours near the sea that has a great big boulder in it I can lean against. I take the dogs down there and they stalk rabbits in the long grass while I beaver away. My old mum gave me a brilliant rug with a waterproof backing so I don't get too chilled even if I go out there first thing. I also love writing on a bench in the garden but I have to be very strong minded then not to start tweaking weeds up or deadheading. The next stage is typing the manuscript up, which is an editorial process in itself, not least because I frequently find bits of my handwriting I can't decipher. Then I do a print out, with really big line spacing, and write the next draft in longhand again all over that. And so on. And yes, I like lots of editing from my editor too. She's can be pretty demanding but we're good friends so she knows how far she can push me before I start to whimper!
MT: What do you do when you are not writing?
PG: I do a lot of musicmaking. I play the cello in local orchestras in Penzance and in a baroque ensemble and I sing. I chair a lovely classical music festival at St Endellion on the North Cornish coast every summer, which hoovers up a lot of time but is marvellously rewarding even though it leaves me a crumpled husk by mid August. I'm an obsessive gardener and a keen cook. But then, of course, I live with a farmer so am also kept pretty busy at certain times of year helping with the cauliflower harvest, the barley harvest and with caring for our beef herd. It's a pretty lovely life really.
MT: Did you have an idea in your mind of your "ideal" reader? Did you write specifically for them?
PG: Absolutely not. I write for myself and always have done. I reckon that if I can entertain or move myself then I can do it for other people. My readership seems to be a very broad church, to judge from the letters and e mails I get, so it would be pretty destructive to start aiming my books at a specific bit of it. Even Friendly Fire, which could have been promoted as a young adult book because it's all about a bunch of teenage schoolchildren, seems to have struck chords with plenty of adult readers...
MT: What are you working on now?
PG: When I finally get home from this book tour (around China) I'm settling down to a middle aged love story in which the lovers are granted a second chance having been persuaded apart by bossy friends when they were students. I think it's going to be a lot funnier than Notes from an Exhibition, but with an underlying note of sadness.
MT: Who is your favourite writer? What is/are your favourite book(s)?
PG: I'm drawn to novels where the technique doesn't show and where the style is like glass, letting you become immediately drawn into the characters and plot beyond it. I'm especially fond of the writing of Anne Tyler, Alice Munro and Barbara Gowdy, all of whom inhabit a similar territory to mine in that they write about families and relationships but I'd also read anything to come from Vikram Seth, Colm Toibin, Alan Hollinghurst, Haruki Murakami or Marina Lewycka.
MT: Do you have any tips for the aspiring writer!?
PG: Read! And then read some more. Reading is the best and possibly only real tutor for writing. I'm very wary of creative writing courses except as short term aids for getting writing done or breaking a creative block. When you find a writer who really excites you be shameless about imitating them to start with. You'll soon find your own voice and your own way of doing things. I think an old fashioned English Literature degree is a lot more valuable to an emerging novelist than a creative writing one.
MT: Anything else you would like to say?
PG: Visit my website: galewarning.org to find out more about me!

Amazing comeback win casts RLC Warriors into national semifinalsMarch 20, 2013
DANVILLE, Ill. (March 20, 2013) - Momentum.
While watching the Rend Lake College Warriors get behind South Suburban College in the national basketball championship quarterfinals Wednesday night, there was a feeling they could still swing it. Too good a team to go quietly against the Bulldogs program-turned rival over the span of a year, there was still a fixed hope things would change. But it was double-digits by the half. Then 20 points. Things seemed to be getting away from the Warriors in a hurry.
But then it happened. A couple of stops here. A turnover there. Still enough time. The momentum had turned and Rend Lake had dug itself out. It found itself with the ball and a chance to hit a last-second long shot to win. Sophomore guard Dawson Verhines (Woodlawn) caught the inbound pass, launched a half-court laser over two defenders, and it rimmed out. It was perhaps the greatest comeback in RLC sports history already, and the Warriors hadn't won anything.
RLC went on the attack, taking advantage of South Suburban players who had picked up four fouls in regulation. It worked. Two Bulldogs fouled out by way of Warriors slashing into the lane off the dribble. South Suburban's coach went to a player on the bench who had four fouls. Within two or three possessions he had fouled out. RLC's plan was working, but it was still down. Players kept fighting on defense, going hard for loose balls and working for good shots. A couple of costly turnovers and a foul by the Bulldogs put the hammer in Rend Lake's hand with Jeril Taylor holding the last nail. The spindly, 6-4 freshman from Louisville, Ky., had hit key shots throughout the game - three from long range and a team-high 19 points. It was fitting he was the one called to close.
Taylor stepped to the line with five seconds left. The rest of his team had pulled out to the other end of the floor to put up one last defensive stand. Without hesitation, he made the first. It looked more like he was shooting in the first five seconds of the game than the last five seconds of overtime. His second shot found nothing but net in the same fashion. South Suburban pushed the ball down the floor, passed to a man in the corner and got off one last shot. However, RLC big man Bronson Verhines (Woodlawn) blocked the ball farther out of bounds than it had travelled from the shooter's hand.
The block ended the game and sends a roused Rend Lake team into the national semifinals. The #4 seeded Warriors (28-3) play at 6 p.m., Friday, against #8 Owens Community College of Ohio (26-8). Listen live at Q106.3FM and watch a live stream at www.ihigh.com/njcaatv.
The Warriors' 85-83 overtime win tonight is the first men's basketball national tournament win in RLC school history and should provide plenty of momentum heading into the next round of play.

Motorola is expected to finally unveil its circular Moto 360 smartwatch at a press event on September 4th. We already know a lot about the device, but two key details that are missing are the price and release date. This afternoon, however, the company announced that it is giving 20 people an early chance at winning a Moto 360.
The details of the contest are where it gets a bit weird, but it's still incredibly simple. All you have to do is download the Yo app for either iOS or Android and add "MOTOROLA" to your contacts within the app. Once you have done that, simply send a "yo" to Motorola to be entered into the contest.
For those unfamiliar, Yo is a very basic "social network" that allows you to send only a single word (you guessed it, "yo") to your contacts. The app spread like wildfire over the past few months, and now it looks like brands are starting to get in on the fun.
The contest to win one of 20 Moto 360 smartwatches runs until tomorrow, August 28th, at 3:01 PM Central Time. It's also worth noting that, once again, Motorola listed the MSRP of the Moto 360 at $250, corroborating the leaked Best Buy slides from earlier this month.

What a worthless app. That said I really want that 360 :)
so if they yo you you basically have to claim with the website provided. the fuck is this contest.
Worked for me!
Did they yo you?
Yo. What an awful app. Add "Motorola" to my contacts, the Yo app cannot find it. Login to the Yo app and tell it to auto login, the app replies that I need to login (but I am). Hopeless.Uninstall.

The Center for Literacy at The University of Akron announces a newly forming professional education community that will help Summit County educators support the Third Grade Reading Guarantee, signed into law in 2012 as part of Ohio Senate Bill 316. The community, known as the SUMMIT COUNCIL FOR READING READINESS (SCRR), is being made possible by a grant from the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation and will be a partnership among three entities: (1) The UA Center for Literacy; (2) the Summit Education Initiative and (3) Summit County school districts.
The purpose of the Council is to support policy change in Ohio and excellence in teaching through a cycle of professional development, action research, and dissemination for pre-K through grade 3 educators to address the needs of early reading.

The Third Grade Reading Guarantee Law (ORC 3313.608) requires that all students are reading at grade level by the third grade. It also established new credentials that are required for any teacher providing the daily reading instruction for students affected by the Third Grade Reading Guarantee. One option for acquiring a set of approved credentials will be a passing score on a rigorous test of principles of scientifically research-based reading instruction, Praxis 5203 Teaching Reading: Elementary Education with a qualifying score of 162.
The highly-qualified staff at the Center for Literacy can help prepare K-3 teachers for the Third Grade Reading Guarantee with an 8-week blended learning workshop. Our instructors have direct experience with classroom and online instruction and professional development.

Hurricane Preparations That Are Often Overlooked
There is an aspect of hurricane preparation that is often overlooked: the condition of ones hurricane shutters and accompanying hardware. Hurricane season began June 1st and runs until November 30th . Now is the time to ensure all aspects of your hurricane plan are ready.
There are many types and styles of hurricane shutters available—roll down (mechanical and hand operated), metal or clear panels, Bahama- and Colonial-style, and fabric mesh. If you have recently purchased a new home, learn how your shutters work. If you have purchased storm protection systems but have never used them, review the installation instructions that came with your product.
Are the shutters in good condition and accessible? What about the hardware now installed on the home? If your house was painted recently, the screw heads or exposed threads may be inoperable due to paint buildup.
Go around the home to each opening, each piece of hardware, and operate the screws: back them out and re-tighten. On the exposed studs, that shutters slide over, screw on a wing nut. This ensures the threads are working and will not present a problem when the shutters are installed.
All shutter manufactures suggest annual maintenance. As an example, roll down shutters should be cleaned and lubricated. Storm panel hardware should be lubricated using 100 percent silicone. Contact the manufacturer of your system to get specific instructions.
While some systems are as easy as pressing a button or turning a key, others require a bit more flexibility. Still other systems, such as heavy steel panels, require a lot of work.
The do-it-yourselfer should be sure to have all the necessary tools. The proper tools, such as battery operated hand tools and special bits will make installation and removal a lot easier. Be sure you are comfortable working on ladders before undertaking the task.
If you decide not to do the job, now is the time to line up at least two qualified sources of help. Do not wait until a storm has formed before looking for help. People will be taking care of their own home and many companies may already be booked.
To find help with your shutters, contact your homeowners association, property management firm, friends and neighbors. Seasonal residents should inquire of their home monitoring company.
Hire someone who is licensed, bonded, and insured. Check with local and state licensing authorities and contact the companies found on insurance documents. You will want to limit your personal liability should someone be injured while working at your home.

Retail gas prices jumped again as last minute travelers close out the summer driving season. Gas prices in the Southeast reached year-ago levels and the national average for regular retail gasoline is eight cents more than a year ago today.
Last week an unexpected refinery fire in California and a pipeline leak in the Midwest caused retail gas prices to spike. In addition, the price of crude oil continues to trade at more than $90 a barrel.
"So much occurred in the last couple of weeks that has led to current pump prices," said AAA spokeswoman, Jessica Brady. "Elevated oil prices, domestic supply disruptions, tropical storms and more have led to the spike at the pump and it looks as though prices will continue to increase throughout the month. Hopefully, retail prices will drop after the Labor Day holiday when demand tends to fall and we switch to a cheaper fuel blend."
A barrel of oil settled Friday at $92.87, which is a $1.47 more than the week prior.
The national average price of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.69, an 8-cent increase from a week ago today. Georgia's average of $3.57 rose 9 cents from last week, respectively. According to Motortrend.com, the lowest price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.48, and in Washington the price is $3.45 a gallon.

Seagar's Prime Steaks and Seafood at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa blended its tradition of excellence in culinary creativity and service with a sophisticated new décor, as it reopened Feb. 5.
The Destin-area's only restaurant to be distinguished with a AAA Four Diamond Award rating, the 150-seat steakhouse recently underwent an extensive five-week renovation.
At Seagar's entrance, a unique fire-and-water feature serves as a welcoming focal point. The interior's color palette takes inspiration from the restaurant's beachside location, featuring soft blues, greens, platinum and sandy hues, set in striking contrast to traditional Brazilian cherry and mahogany accents. Other new design details include a renovated lounge and a new semiprivate dining room created to showcase Seagar's 600 label-wine list, which is consistently honored with Wine Spectator's 'Best of Award of Excellence'. The room's glass walls are flanked with hundreds of highly allocated wines. The renovation transcends the aesthetic to include many details focusing on Seagar's tradition of culinary creativity and award-winning guest service. Often recognized for serving only USDA prime beef, the restaurant also introduces its Custom Cut Program, offering guests the opportunity to order a steak to his or her exact specifics, including thickness, weight and temperature.
As well, Seagar's offers state-of-the-art technology, tableside. iPads are available for guests who would like to explore the restaurant's wine list, as well as discover suggested food pairings. And, as always, Seagar's knowledgeable team members will stand ready to assist guests with personalized service.
"Seagar's has long been known as a restaurant that creates memorable fine dining experiences for our guests," said Seagar's Prime Steaks and Seafood Executive Chef Dan Vargo. "With that important fact in mind, this renovation is focused on offering the best possible cuisine and service in an amazing new atmosphere that is truly inspired and elegant."
Seagar's Prime Steaks and Seafood is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 6 to 9 p.m. More information can be found at Seagars.com or by calling 850-622-1500.

Photoshop Elements 7 is packed with features to help amateur photographers with every stage of digital photo processing, from getting organized to sharing projects with family and friends. In Photoshop Elements 7 for Windows Essential Training, Jan Kabili shares workflow techniques for organizing, editing, creating projects, and sharing. She also demonstrates how to enhance photos with this budget-friendly software. Jan explains the latest updates to the Organizer and Editor workspaces, and also covers new features like the Smart Brush tool and Photoshop.com integration. Elements is very well known for its project features, and Jan shows how to create books, collages, panoramas, and more. Example files accompany the course.
Layers are possibly the most important feature in the Full Edit Workspace. Layers give you the freedom to treat individual pieces of artwork separately. In the coming movies, we are going to be taking a look at what layers are, what the benefits are of using layers, and how to use them. I'm working in 07_01 beaches, which you'll find in the 07 Layers Sub-folder of the chapter 7 Exercise Files folder. You might think of layers like paints of glass, each of which has separate paint on them; stacked one on top of the other. Where a layer has no paint or no artwork, it's transparent and you can see through it to the layer below, or in this analogy, to the paint of glass below. Let's see how that works on this file. I'm going to the Layers palette in the palette Bin on the right, which is command central for managing layers in a file. I'm going to collapse the Effects palette, which is above the Layers palette, so that you can see all the layers in this file.
This file has three layers and you can see them here one on each bar: the sign layer, the palm tree layer, and the Background layer. In order to see what's on each layer, I'm going to make each layer invisible, one layer at a time and the way I'm going to do that is by clicking the Eye icon to the left of each Layer. I'm going to click the Eye icon to the left of the sign layer to turn that layer off temporarily. And when I do, the SAIL SURF sign, the flag, and the rocks are all going to disappear and now, you can see what's on the layers below.
I'll turn that layer back on by clicking in the Eye icon spot again and now, I go down to the next layer to show you what's on that the same way. On the palm tree layer, I'm going to click the Eye icon and the palm tree disappears. The palm tree is the only thing on this layer. I'm going to make the palm tree visible again by clicking in the Eye icon space again. Notice that the palm tree comes in behind the rocks that are on the sign layer because the sign layer is above the palm tree layer in the Layers palette.
Finally, I'm going to go down to the bottom layer labeled Background and I'm going to turn that one off and you can see that everything else except what is on the sign layer and the palm tree layer has now disappeared. In its place, you'll see this gray and white checkerboard, which represents transparency in Photoshop Elements. I'll turn the Background layer back on. So, what's the reason to make use of lots of layers in your photo compositions. Layers give you the flexibility to make changes to individual pieces of artwork without affecting the rest of the composition. For example, let's work with the palm tree and move it to the other side of the photo. To do that, I'm going to select the layer that has the palm tree by clicking right on the gray bar of the layer. With the palm tree layer selected, I'm going to the Toolbox on the left and I'm going to get the Move tool. You now can see this bounding box around the content of the palm tree layer and when I click inside that bounding box and move to the right, there goes the palm tree.
That may not be the most beautiful composition in the world but it makes the point that when I do something to the content of the palm tree layer, it affects only that layer; nothing else in this composition has moved. And that's not the only thing that I can do to the content of individual layers. Let's try something else. I'm going to select the sign layer in the Layers palette and then I'm going to go over to the Toolbox and I'm going to click and hold on the Brush tool and from the tool menu that flies out, I'm going to select the Color Replacement tool.
The Color Replacement tool is great for changing the color of items. I'm going to go to the foreground color box in the tool bar, click to open the color picker and I'm going to choose a color by clicking in this large color field. I'll take this dark red and I'll click OK. Now, I'm going to come in and start drawing on top of the flag here and notice that as I do, the color in that flag is changing from yellow to red and even though I'm dragging way up here with my brush tip, only the flag is changing.
The reason for that is that the flag is on a separate layer; the sign layer from the palm tree and the Background and all the other content behind it, so that only the flag on ad the sign layer changes when I paint there. So, you can imagine how useful this can be when you are creating complex photo compositions with different pieces of artwork on different layers. Layers give you the freedom to be a true digital artist in Photoshop Elements.

Please plan your SCN wiki tasks accordingly.
Businesses today can operate in a highly distributed, outsourced and networked environment. Globalization is upon us which means that we have to be more intelligent with the way we operate. We have to collaborate efficiently and effectively. We need to ensure that regulations are enforced during the entire process. How do we do that?
SAP Event Management
SAP Event Management (SAP EM) is an application within the component SAP SCM that belongs to the mySAP Supply Chain Management solution. SAP EM can be connected to other mySAP Business Suite components such as SAP R/3, SAP CRM, and SAP BW. It can also be connected to non SAP systems using BAPI or XML / XI calls. IDocs are also a popular way to get data to your SAP EM system.
With the SAP Event Management application your company can monitor and manage events across your distributed processes involving partners, inventories and assets. It captures events from your system and your partners systems, analyzes them against it's predefined plan and alerts or workflows a response to the required people to react of deviations are found. It comes integrated with SAP NetWeaver BI and SAP Auto-Id Infrastructure (RFID enabled scenarios).
Some Key Points
Where can I find SAP EM?
Who is using SAP EM?
Why are businesses using SAP EM?
Risk mitigation
Real-time notification of exceptions
Management by exception
Supply chain visibility
Limited visibility to process status both inside and outside the company
Expensive troubleshooting caused by unexpected delays
Maintenance of manual tracking of processes is expensive
Delayed feedback from business partners effects customer service levels / satisfaction
What is the difference between SAP EM and Solution Manager's BPMon?
View the details of the differences on this page.
In short BPMon is used to uncover bottlenecks at key points in your process whereas SAP EM is used to actually monitor the status of an end-to-end business process matching up the planned events and measurements with the actual events and measurements to uncover exceptions.
Both tools uncover different exceptions at different levels but use similar mechanisms in alerts and workflows to notify people of these exceptions. They can be used in tandem and both would be beneficial to the business to highlight potential issues with the business.
What happened to SAP BusinessObjects Event Insight?
Previously we described the differences between SAP EM and SAP BOBJ Event Insight but SAP has subsequently decided to abandon support for it and rather switch focus to SAP Sybase ESP (Event Stream Processor) to provide it's CEP (Compex Event Processing) capability.

Thank you, Secretary Cohen, for your generous remarks. It has been my privilege to serve as Deputy Secretary of Defense during your first months in office. The smoothness of this transition is a tribute to your skills and your insights. I am proud to have been involved in this early, critical part of your tenure. Betty and I thank Janet and you for the many kindnesses you have shown us during your time in office.
General Shalikashvili and members of our Armed Forces, thank you for this ceremony today and for the honor you pay me. When I accepted this job two years ago, I knew it would be demanding and challenging it has been. But I did not anticipate how truly satisfying it would be to serve in the Department again with our men and women in uniform. The most profound change over my career has been the improvement in the quality of our armed forces. I served as a lieutenant in a first class military. But today's is so much better. So, as I am honored by your tribute to me, let me respond in kind: To the men and women of the Armed Forces, I salute you.
When I accepted the challenges of serving as Deputy Secretary of Defense, I talked about change. I observed how well this institution had weathered the storm of global turbulence over the past several years. I also stressed how important it was for us not only to weather this turbulence, but to harness and master it, to continue to prepare ourselves for the challenges ahead. Those words remain valid today. Indeed, we are learning that the new era of global military presence is demanding, uncertain, and dangerous. We must not only respond to this new era, we must engage and actively shape it as well.
Today I am proud to say that we are on course. I believe that the Quadrennial Defense Review describes both the challenges we face and the way to address them. It lays out our strategy and our program and the path to continued readiness and combat superiority for the coming decade and beyond. The decisions made by the Secretary and endorsed by the President are the correct decisions, but they require implementation, Therefore, the task before us is to convince the Congress and the American people of what must be done.
Under the leadership of President Clinton, it has been my privilege to serve with two Secretaries of Defense as we have steadfastly exercised American leadership in the causes of peace and freedom.
During this time we have forged new relationships with Russia I have just returned from meeting with the new Russian Minister of Defense, as we continue our unprecedented level of dialogue and cooperation we have worked with our Allies to enlarge the zone of peace and security in Europe, we have worked with our international partners to bring peace to Bosnia, and we have continued to maintain the lonely vigils and deterrent patrols in Korea and in Southwest Asia. While conducting these demanding missions we have sharpened both the effectiveness and protection of the force.
I have personally visited our troops and talked with them and with their commanders around the world. I have talked with our Allies and our international partners. I can say from personal observation that the United States military is today setting an example for the world, an inspiration that is shaping the course of history.
We are doing this you, the All Volunteer force, are doing this every day, all around the world, with a dedication and professionalism that are unprecedented. Now what has been built must be maintained.
Today, we face a new set of challenges. Recent headlines raise concerns about whether we treat each other with dignity and respect, whether we value the contributions of each member of our diverse force. The answer is yes - and we have a long history of accomplishments to prove it. But those accomplishments will be lost if we do not redouble our efforts to ensure every member of our Armed Forces that she or he is special. Our leaders at all levels must set that tone and example, and I am confident they will do so in this case, just as they have so often in the past.
Let me also address the civilians of our Department, especially the men and women of the Office of the Secretary of Defense. No one knows better than I do the long hours, tireless commitment, and hard work you bring to your support of the Secretary and the Deputy Secretary. I thank you for your dedication, your loyalty, your professionalism. You deserve more recognition than you receive, and the Department and the nation are in your debt.
Finally, a special word of thanks to General John Shalikashvili and General Joe Ralston. No military officers better embody our ideals of service, of integrity, of leadership. John and Joe, I will always treasure the memories of working with you to preserve and defend our country and its ideals.
As I once again leave the Department of Defense, I am reminded of the philosopher who said that all change has its melancholy side, because we must leave behind a part of ourselves. At the same time, I believe the work we have done will have a lasting impact, and I am confident in the course we have set.
While I am leaving a part of myself behind, I am also taking with me fond memories, pride in accomplishment, and gratitude for being allowed to serve with you.
Thank you all very much.

Best Sports Enigma St. Louis 2006 - David Eckstein's At-Bat Music
It's no surprise that St. Louis loves David Eckstein. The wee shortstop's sheer hustle more than makes up for what he lacks in power, speed or just about any generally accepted marker of baseball skill. His courtship of Blue Collar TV star Ashley Drane was notable for his old-fashioned belief in the sanctity of marriage. Hell, even his honey-nut toasted-oat cereal, EcksO's, is wholesome. Which is why it's always such a shock when he strides to the plate to "Number One Spot" by Ludacris, a.k.a. "That Rap Where Ludacris Samples the Theme from Austin Powers" a track so lame that if you listen closely, you can hear Ludacris strangling the A&R guy who suggested releasing it as a single. Why, David? Is it the memory of Mike Myers vamping through multiple comic roles that sends you chugging from first to home on a bloop single? Does your energy peak as you imagine the beautiful Ms. Drane dressed as a Fembot? Or is it a joke? "Number One Spot" because you bat leadoff? In that case, we get it. Ha. Ha ha. Or is the joke on us? We love your hustling homebody charm, but secretly you're a wannabe gangsta? Really, we're certain of only one thing: It's the radio-friendly version of "Number One Spot" blasting over the Busch speakers. You have a reputation to uphold, after all.

As instructed by our fearless leader Perry, I am posting a teaser for a top secret NANY project that dc member JavaJones and I have teamed up on*.
What I can tell you is it is a website.. and will hopefully be of use to other software authors, especially open source authors. More details to follow in the coming weeks.
*getting this ready by Jan 1 is going to be a real stretch as it's not a small project; there is a real chance that it may not be ready for the public by Jan1, in which case we will either open it for early beta at that time, or i will scramble to get some other NANY out the door by then.
