Secretary Salazar Announces New Press Secretary
Contact: Kate Kelly (202) 208-6416
WASHINGTON, DC – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today announced that Adam Fetcher will join his communications team as Press Secretary for the U.S. Department of the Interior. Since 2009, Fetcher has served in the public affairs office of the Department of Homeland Security, most recently as Assistant Press Secretary.
"With his experience at the Department of Homeland Security and his strong writing and communication skills, Adam Fetcher will be a terrific addition to our communications team," said Secretary Salazar.
A graduate of Carleton College, Fetcher was a staff writer with a Minnesota newspaper and worked in marketing at a New York City non-profit before joining the Obama for America campaign in 2008 in Florida. After working on the Obama-Biden Presidential Transition team, he joined the Department of Homeland Security, where he has coordinated communications for Secretary Napolitano and other senior DHS officials on a wide range of issues, including counterterrorism, law enforcement, immigration, border security, and disaster response.
Fetcher joins Deputy Chief of Staff and Communications Director Matt Lee-Ashley, Deputy Director of Communications Kate Kelly, Deputy Press Secretary Jordan Montoya, and New Media Director Tim Fullerton and career public affairs staff in Interior's Office of Communications.

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen issued a formal opinion today to Brown County Corporation Counsel Juliana M. Ruenzel concerning whether health, dental, and life insurance or the payment of insurance premiums for county supervisors is "compensation" within the meaning of Wis. Stat. § 59.10(3). Van Hollen opined that those benefits are not compensation within the meaning of the statute. Thus, the procedural requirements of Wis. Stat. § 59.10(3) do not apply when the county board considers changes to those benefits.

Watch Tegan And Sara Adorably Flub Interview Questions
This video of Heartthrob interview bloopers is pretty heartwarming stuff. Now with bonus Cory Monteith!
Tegan and Sara's new album is fantastic, and so too is this video of them fumbling through conversations with Ione Skye, Glee's Corey Monteith, and Ben Lee, among others. Despite frequent interruptions from an Amtrak train whistle, they still manage to get their total charm across (as if ANYTHING could stop it). Also? This is one of the few videos where you can actually tell them apart easily, so there's that. Enjoy.

Scunthorpe Rugby Union Club 17 Bournville 16 - at Heslam Park
Posted: November 26, 2012|
As players and supporters held their breath, the last kick of Saturday's National Midlands 3 game between Scunthorpe Rugby Union Club and Bournville was a drop-goal attempt by visiting number 10, Alex Warner, that was only a foot wide of the upright.
The final whistle then signalled a much-needed win for The Greens at Heslam Park
Those missing from the previous week's team included Al Fagan, Matt Probert, Rewiti Viamoso and Steve Parker.
Richard Tomlinson and Guy Michaijluk started in the front with Luke Scargall in the second row, Ben Wright at centre and Will Harrison at scrum-half.

A threequarter line reshuffle also saw Adam Middleton move from scrum-half to the right wing.
Visiting Bournville had much the better of the early exchanges with their pack retaining the ball through several phases before eventually moving it to right winger Tom Southall who handed off his opposite number to score half-way in from touch.
Alex Warner kicked the conversion for a 7 points to nil lead after five minutes' play.
Scunthorpe gradually gained more possession but had to attack from deep positions as the Birmingham boys employed a kicking game to pin them back into their own half.
It was from one such counterattack that Ben Wright made the initial thrust before Tom Foster broke through to sprint in under the posts.
Tom Barker added the conversion to level the scores after 24 minutes.
Six minutes later The Greens again coming from deep moved the ball left where Tom Barker chipped over the remaining cover defence and won the race for the touch down.
The conversion attempt failed but the home boys were in front by 12 points to 7.
The remainder of the half saw Scunthorpe concede a string of penalties, two of which were converted by Warner to see his team go into the interval leading by 13 points to 12.
The pattern of play in second period was much like the first with the visitors playing mainly a low risk game, picking and going through their pack and kicking for position.
Scunthorpe played a more expansive game but frustratingly were unable to retain the ball at vital stages play.
They also failed to satisfy the referee on many aspects of play and Warner was able to take advantage of an opportunity after 17 minutes of the second half to convert a penalty to put his team further ahead by 16 points to 12.
Frustratingly, The Greens were still conceding penalties and were rather fortunate when Warner failed with his strike after 21 minutes of the second half.
From that point onwards they gradually take control of the game as they Bournville on up front and created long period of pressure.
Yet again, mistakes at vital times saw the loss of possession and position when a score looked on.
Eventually, with five minutes' play remaining, the home pack drove for the line with Guy Michaijluk getting his first try for the senior side.
Barker was unable to convert and The Greens were left with a tricky final few minutes to play out the game and secure the points.
It was with much relief that the final kick of the match sailed just wide and the Heslam Park boys can now look to regroup before the important away fixture at bottom-placed Derby on December 8.

Thank all of you for being here, and for those folks across the country and around the world watching on the Pentagon channel. Thank you all for doing what you're doing to support our country and to support the troops.
They're doing a superb job, and we are deeply in their debt.
A few days ago, I spoke at VMI -- Virginia Military Institute's graduation ceremony, and I went to the museum next door. They had two museums, the VMI Museum and the George Catlett Marshall -- General George Catlett Marshall Museum -- a lot of items from World War II. And it was a chance to reflect on that period, how difficult it was.
We look back on these things -- like World War II and the Cold War and think: Well, it was inevitable that we'd win, it was inevitable that everything would work out well, and that it was a relatively smooth path from the beginning to the end of those. And it wasn't. World War II -- there were so many difficulties, so many losses, so many lives lost.
And certainly in the Cold War, throughout that 50-year period, there were people who said, on the one hand, we can't win it, we can't sustain this level of investment, so we ought to toss in the towel. There were people who said we don't need to worry about winning, because -- Euro-communism came in vogue, and everyone said, "Gee, it's really not so bad." There were people offering in the Senate amendments to withdraw all of our forces from Europe just as the Soviets were building up and building up their military capability and putting more and more pressure on Western Europe and on -- in Africa and even in Latin America.
So at the time, it was tough, and it took staying power and perseverance. It took people of both political parties, successive administrations, in our country and in other countries, in Western Europe, to have the perseverance to see that through. And we did.
And now, unfortunately, people look at it and think: Well, it's written that it would end that way, that there was never any doubt. Well, there was doubt. And it was expensive. And it was hard, just as World War II was.
General Pace just talked a bit about the tasks we're facing today. And they're important, they're serious, and they're difficult.
And as always in our history, there are different views about things. People argue and debate and discuss and second-guess and critique and opine on this and opine on that. And that's fair enough in a democracy.
But the important thing is to remember that it is sticking with something and prevailing that's important. I guess these posters being put around the building in various places, reminding us all that we are at war, as General Pace said -- and indeed we are.
I'll never forget just after 9/11 thinking about the next 9/11 and what might be done to avoid another 9/11, and what might be done, in the event that there is one, to mitigate its adverse effects against our society and our people and the deaths.
It's been a long time since September 11th. There's a tendency for people -- the longer the time passes, that it kind of slips from people's minds. And one way to think about it is this -- imagine another 9/11 in this country six months from now of a size or twice that size or three times that size, which is perfectly possible in this day and age. It just took a few hundred thousand dollars, 19 people with box cutters and visas and tickets, boarding passes, that's all. Terrorists can attack at any time, at anyplace, using any technique, and it's not possible to defend in every location against every conceivable technique at every moment of the day and night.
It is possible to put pressure on terrorists, and that's what we're doing. You can't just play defense. We have to play offense, and we have to go after them and weaken them and capture and kill them. We have to go after them and put pressure on them and make everything they do more difficult.
But if, in one's mind -- if you project out six months and assume another September 11th of some size, the question we have to ask ourselves every day is, "What ought we to be doing now to avoid that, to prevent that, to mitigate that, were it to actually occur?" And it's that incentive, that impetus, that sense of urgency that comes from that that I think motivates this institution, all of you here. And if we keep reminding ourselves that we have been very fortunate as a country to have not experienced another September 11th in the intervening years -- other countries, friends and allies, have -- on a number of countries on a number of occasions.
I mention that as a way of encouraging all of you to reflect on that in your lives, in what you do here in the Department. And the entire government is engaged in what's going on, to be sure, in varying degrees in varying ways. A lot of it we don't see. People tend to see more what this Department does. But it does take all elements of national power to prevail against an enemy that is not a nation-state, to prevail in this struggle that's taking place within the Muslim religion between violent extremists -- a very small number percentage-wise -- and the overwhelming majority of Muslims who do not adhere to the extremists' views of the few.
We have a big task ahead of us. We are -- I am very grateful to what all of you do. Every one of you here is -- are here because you want to be here in uniform or out of uniform. Every one of you volunteered to be a part of this Department, and we're grateful to you for that. And we appreciate what you do. I would -- the only thing I would add would be to remind yourself of what could happen six months from now, and every day give a thought to what view in whatever you're doing, what you might do different or better or faster or harder to prevent that from happening.
Now, we'll answer some questions, but no more of those hand- raising things.
All right. And someone's going to tell me if someone behind me has their hand up? I've got a wrestler's neck, and I can't turn my head; I have to turn my whole body.

"I've had a vision and I can't shake it," begins 'mrsammercer' in an online post on the last day of August – three days after Glenn Beck held his well-attended "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial. "Colbert needs to hold a satirical rally in D.C."
"Think about it," he continues. "It'll be just like Colbert's mockery of GW Bush at the 2006 White House Correspondent's Dinner, but 500,000 people will be able to participate with him. We'll all stay totally in character as teabaggers" (the slang pejorative of choice for Tea Party members, if you haven't been paying attention). "This would be the high water mark of American satire. Half a million people pretending to suspend all rational thought in unison…like San Francisco in the late 60s, only we won't be able to get any acid."
The post, written by Joseph Laughlin of Pittsburgh, PA, went live to Conde Nast's popular social news sharing site Reddit at approximately five a.m. By the time he got to work later that morning, the post had made it to Reddit's front page with close to 7,000 'up votes.' Emails were sent to executive staff of The Colbert Report. Facebook pages dedicated to the event were being made. Laughlin's "vision" went viral in relatively no time at all.
"Right after I made the post, some other reddit guys created the Colbert Rally web site," Laughlin told me in an interview. "That inspired all of the Facebook groups."Although growing on the web at a fast pace, the idea existed in its infancy across multiple fan pages across Facebook as support for Laughlin's conception of a rally, but no immediate plans to make it happen. "Colbert's staff was on a week-long break when the post first went crazy. Me and other Reddit users were brainstorming ways to get the show's attention."
After some Googling around, Laughlin discovered that Colbert sat on the board of directors for online charity DonorsChoose.org, where donations can be made to one of multiple charitable projects chosen by the donor (hence the name). "We thought that if we could get a bunch of Reddit users to do a big charity bomb," having thousands of users donate money simultaneously while others publicized the cause behind the mass donations, "we could get his attention." attn. In the first 48 hours, over $200,000 in donations were made.
Colbert and company listened. In less than two months, Laughlin's post has become a reality. On October 30th, tens of thousands of people are expected to converge on the National Mall for the official Rally to Restore Sanity, hosted by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert and put on by Comedy Central. The Rally's official Facebook group has over 60,000 "Likes"; its Twitter account has over 80,000 followers.
After seeing the momentum the event had, Comedy Central pushed it a step further. In collaboration with MTV Networks, Comedy Central released a free iTunes app for the iPhone and iPad. The app connects to both Facebook and Twitter, has a"portal to upload photos to the official Rally photostream," and a map of the rally site itself. Those that attend the event can also use the app to check in on Foursquare, or check out the news cycle covering the event.

Years had passed,still you're here,
Deceiving me that you care.
You hurt me not once but twice,
Still you're here,trying to make some lies.
We had a lot of arguments,
Which led our friendship to end;
I cut the passage between me and you,
and I stop brawling too much tears for you
I want you to,let go of me,
And that will be my one last plea;
If someday,our shadows cross again,
Maybe we can be friends again.

editorial (2007-06)
Bring Down the Commission's Circus Tent
Let's get Knox County government straightened out through the ballot box ASAP
Gov. Bredesen is Right On
Bring Down the Commission's Circus Tent
Outfall from the shenanigans that County Commission used in its selection of successors to term-limited office-holders continues to degenerate with each passing day. Its failings multiply; internal and external challenges mount, and public response is swelling into a general outcry.
The Commission, and its majority led by Chairman Scott "Scooby" Moore, worked a series of hallway manipulations, outside the view of the public that gathered Jan. 31 to witness the Commission's appointments.
The appointments, which included political cronies of the chairman and of outgoing Sheriff Tim Hutchison, plus a spouse, a father and a son of term-limited commissioners, were ill considered in the first place. Then, to compound matters, the machinations to secure them were conducted in apparent violation of the state's Open Meetings, or "Sunshine" Law.
That Sunshine Law question translated into a suit filed this week against the Commission by the News Sentinel , questioning the validity of the appointments. The Sentinel also challenged commissioners for violating their own just-adopted ethics policy by failing to disclose jobs they or their family members held or had been offered in county government. The inherent conflicts of interest might disqualify some of those appointments. All of that remains open to the Chancery Court and to County Commission's interpretation of its code of ethics. As much as we tend to choke on complimenting the News Sentinel , bravo to them for using their considerable legal resources to mount the court challenge over the Sunshine Law.
County Mayor Mike Ragsdale, whose position of authority over county business is threatened by the majority's/ex-sheriff's faction, called for all of those term-limited offices that were subjected to Commission appointment by the state Supreme Court to be put before the electorate in a special election ballot tagged onto city elections this fall, rather than wait until county elections next year.
Ironically, the new Commission would have to approve a resolution asking the state Legislature to authorize such a special election. If Commission did not go along, at least the votes of those opposed to the special election would be recorded for future public reference.
The Sentinel 's website has been deluged with public protests of the Commission's actions, and letters to the editor on the subject have been piling up on the daily paper's editorial desks like so much kudzu.
The Commission's leaders in the tour de force that saw eight of its members and the county's sheriff, trustee, register of deed and county clerk replaced defended their backroom activities from the outset.
Chairman Moore was quoted as saying he didn't "know what a backroom deal is," and Greg "Lumpy" Lambert, who admitted to some of the persuasion and manipulation in the Commission chamber's back hallway, was quoted as saying, "There's no backroom to it," and that he thought his tactics were neither illegal nor inappropriate.
While it may be true that the hallway has served as the locale for deal making on past legislation, it has rarely been so blatantly utilized for such fundamentally sensitive actions as picking new office-holders en masse.
The legislative approval of a special election should have been sought from Day 1, rather than leaving the constitutional and Commission posts to the discretion of the commissioners. Eight of them were already ordered out of office, and many of the rest of them were apparently willing to cut deals for further employment or political favors.
Moore and Lambert may have made fools of themselves by defending their acts, but there are other commissioners who should have trouble looking in the mirror. If the courts and the Legislature don't clean up this mess in favor of the county's electorate, there may be barely a few commissioners worthy of reelection when their seats come before their districts' voters.
Gov. Bredesen is Right On
When Gov. Phil Bredesen said it's time to "walk the walk" on education rather than just "talk the talk", he was speaking to legislators who have paid the cause of education lip service, but have avoided meeting the issues of educational improvements with the funding necessary to resolve them.
Bredesen's proposal for a 40-cent per-pack increase in cigarette taxes, with the revenue dedicated to education, would still leave Tennessee's tax on cigarettes 40 cents below the national average among states.
His commitment to education has never been clearer, and his proposal was timed to forestall a legislative initiative to increase the cigarette tax to offset a reduction in sales taxes on food.
We could have it both ways. If the Legislature had the gumption to bring our cigarette tax up to the national average, there'd be the already estimated $220 million for education and another like amount to allow for a reduction in the taxes on groceries. Don't look for that to happen, but it ought to be considered and argued. What are the benefits of smoking again? How do they compare with eating, or learning?

Ten sides have already made it through to the last 16 of the Copa Libertadores and the final six places will be decided this week. FIFA.com previews a vital few days in Latin America's biggest and best club competition, with no fewer than 12 games on the card.
Game of the week
Colo Colo-Palmeiras (Group 1)
Wednesday 29 April, Estadio Monumental (Santiago), 20.50 (local time)
Sport Recife booked their place in the next round last week, leaving the Chilean giants and their Brazilian opponents to battle it out for the final qualifying slot. The two sides are locked on seven points although El Cacique boast a superior goal difference and only need a draw to go through. For their part O Verdão can take heart from the fact that compatriots Recife beat Colo Colo in Santiago earlier in the group. Nevertheless Vanderlie Luxemburgo's men came off second best at home to the Chileans back in March, and a similar outcome on Wednesday will send them out of the competition.
In Group 2, where both qualifying places are still up for grabs, Boca Juniors entertain Deportivo Tachira hoping to finally seal a berth in the next round after missing their first opportunity to do so last week. The Buenos Aires powerhouses are in such a strong position at the top of the section that they can afford to lose by two goals and still go through. The other team in with a chance of progressing are Deportivo Cuenca, who are tied on nine points with Tachira but have the better goal difference. The Ecuadorians, who will be urging Boca on, travel to bottom club Guarani.
The last available place in Group 6 will go to either Everton or Guadalajara, who meet in Vina del Mar on Wednesday. A point clear in second, the Mexicans will progress if they can avoid defeat although Nelson Acosta's men will be anxious for revenge after slumping to a 6-2 defeat when the two sides met in February.
Another Chilean side in search of a spot in the last 16 is Universidad de Chile. To advance from Group 7 the 1996 semi-finalists have to win on their visit to Aurora of Bolivia and hope that Gremio, who are already through, defeat second-placed Boyaca Chico in Porto Alegre. A draw in that match would leave La U with the task of having to win by at least two goals to qualify at the expense of the Colombians.
Libertad have long since claimed top spot in Group 8, with Universitario of Peru and San Luis of Mexico fighting it out to join them. The Peruvians, inspired by the evergreen Nolberto Solano, lie three points clear in second and with a visit to the already eliminated San Lorenzo to come, they will be confident of checking into the next round. The Mexicans, meanwhile, travel to Asuncion to take on Libertad and will be keeping a close eye on proceedings in Buenos Aires.
The two tickets from Group 3 have already gone to Nacional of Montevideo and Universidad San Martin, rendering the week's two encounters in the section purely academic.
Player to watch
Martin Palermo (Boca Juniors)
The scorer of 20 goals in the history of the competition, the veteran Argentinian has just been recalled to international duty by Diego Maradona and will be out to cap a perfect week against Tachira on Thursday.
The stat
5 - The number of years that have passed since a Peruvian side last qualified for the knockout rounds of the competition. Universidad San Martin de Porres finally broke the barren stretch this year. Can Universitario join them?
What they said
"If anyone thinks we'll be taking it easy, they're mistaken. We want to finish as high as possible so that we can play the second leg of our knockout matches at home. That's what we'll be looking for on Tuesday." Gremio goalkeeper Victor promises maximum concentration against Boyaca Chico.
This week's fixtures
Tuesday 28
Aurora (BOL) - Universidad de Chile (CHI)
Gremio (BRA) - Boyaca Chico (COL)
San Lorenzo (ARG) - Universitario (PER)
Libertad (PAR) - San Luis (MEX)

Of the last 13 however, only three have been played in Albuquerque, with the Lobos winning two (4-1, 3/16/04 and 13-11, 4/15/03). The last time New Mexico won in Lubbock was Feb. 2, 2003, 9-6. For the series, Texas Tech is 32-16-1 in Albuquerque and 36-14 in Lubbock.

The Lobos are tenth in runs per game, averaging 8.7. UNM is also ranked in slugging percentage (.501, 13th), home runs per game (1.21, 15th), doubles per game (2.27, 16th), fielding percentage (.971, 26th) and batting average (.319, 29th).
Individually, the Lobos are thriving as well. Junior first baseman/designated hitter Chris Carlson is ranked in the most categories for New Mexico. Carlson is fifth in home runs (0.40 pg), 12th in RBI (1.35 pg) and 34th in slugging percentage (.699). Junior first baseman/designated hitter Daniel Stovall makes the list in two spots, 13th in doubles (0.44 pg) and 17th in RBI (1.31 pg).

IF I WAS A GAMBLING MAN: If I was a gambler, here is who I would be betting on:
When the Lobos are facing a left handed pitcher, freshman Zach Arnett has had the most success, going 4-for-6 with two RBI. Junior Chris Carlson has driven in the most runs vs. lefties, with 16, including a team-high six home runs for a .429 batting average. Sophomore Jordan Pacheco has the most hits off of southpaws, going 17-for-40, hitting .425.
Against righties, sophomore Ian Hollick has the best average, hitting .384. Junior Daniel Stovall has a team high 57 hits and 47 RBI with a .326 average.
Pacheco leads off an inning in every game as New Mexico's first hitter. He has a .355 average when leading off an inning on a team-high 27 hits. However, Stovall has the best average as a leadoff hitter, going 13-for-35 (.371).
When it comes to runners on base, I would want junior Jay Russell, Carlson or Stovall at the plate. Russell has the best average (.446) while Stovall has a team-high 43 hits, 58 RBI and 17 doubles. Carlson has homered 11 times with runners on. With two outs and runners on base, freshman Dane Hamilton holds a .529 batting average, Hollick and Stovall lead the team in hits (18) and Stovall tops the team in RBI (27). With the bases loaded bet heavily on Hamilton or Stovall, who are hitting .667 (2-for-3 with four RBI) and .636 (7-for-11 iwth 16 RBI), respectively.
DOUBLE TROUBLE: With senior Ryan Barba at shortstop, sophomore Jordan Pacheco at second base and junior Daniel Stovall at first, New Mexico opponents have run into trouble against arguably the best infield in the MWC and quite possibly the nation.The Lobos' 63 double plays fielded are more than any other MWC school's production with UNLV's 47 the next closest. Not to mention Stovall leads the conference in most double plays turned with 45. Pacheco and Barba are right on his heels, with 43 of their own.
SENSATIONAL STARTERS: The Lobos have relied heavily on their starting rotation for innings and wins. The starters, 21-12 with a 5.21 ERA, have thrown 293.2 innings with 201 strikeouts. The bullpen, 7-8 with a 7.95 ERA, has tossed 137.0 innings with 76 strikeouts.
KEYS TO SUCCESS: In order for New Mexico to win, they need to score early and score often, at least according to the statistics. The Lobos are 0-6 when scoring less than three runs and they are 0-15 when trailing after seven innings and 0-16 after eight innings. On the flip side, they are 13-1 when scoring 10 or more runs and 25-3 when leading after seven innings and 23-1 when leading after eight innings.
The Lobos are 11-14 when an opponent scores first and 7-9 when their opponent scores in the first inning. But, they are 11-5 when they score in the first and 17-6 when they score first. The Lobos are also 20-2 when they out-hit their opponents but 6-17 when they are outhit.
REACHING FOR THE RECORDBOOKS: Juniors Chris Carlson and Daniel Stovall are trying to set as many records as they can before their season is up and they possibly move on to the next level. Carlson has already made the book for home runs in a season and career. He is tied fifth for both with 19 this season and 34 in his career. If the season ended today, Carlson would set a new career record for slugging percentage with .733. Stovall is just shy of the books in four categories, needing three home runs, four doubles and 26 RBIs to tie fifth in the career book and six doubles to tie fifth in the season book. Junior Matt Foote, hit 17 times this season, is tied second in the season book, needing three more for a new record.
Junior Danny Ray Herrera is also making his mark on the books. His nine wins this season ties him for fourth in the season book. His 41 games started, 21 wins and 277.0 innnings pitched leave him fifth in each category in the career book. One more inning of work and he will take over fifth in the season book and 11 more strikeouts will place him fifth in the career book.
KDEF 1150 AM TO BROADCAST LOBO BASEBALL FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE SEASON: For the third straight season, Albuquerque radio station KDEF will supply exclusive broadcasts of Lobo baseball on 1150 AM and throughout the world at www.GoLobos.com. All of the team's 29 home games will be broadcast live.

Prior to each broadcast, there will be a 15 minute pre-game show. A post-game show with interviews will follow at the conclusion of each game.
In addition to the broadcasts, all of New Mexico's home games can be followed live on the internet at www.GoLobos.com with Gametracker. Gametracker takes official statistics from the press box and provides up-to-the-minute information for users, including updated team and individual stats, an updated box score, and play-by-play.

Enter "Our Fighting Forces" an anthology that would feature Gunner, Sarge, and their dog Pooch (Rex the Wonder Dog's brother!); the Dirty Dozen inspired by Hunter's Hellcats, who ran on the covers of issues #106 - 122, and the Losers who took over the book from issue #123 until the title hung up its boots in 1978 with issue #181.Collected EditionsJack Kirby's The Losers (#159-162)

Naughty, Pikeys are lovely people, we just don't fully understand their intricate and beautiful culture properly. It's not theft, it's an expression of an older and wiser form of social communism and the knifings are just a playful regression to a simpler time in humanity's past.
WR - nope, we also have:
7. The chattering classes
8. The working class (almost extinct)
9. the aristocracy
10. the middle classes (upper, middle, low and aspiring)
11. foreigners
12. people who would like to be foreign

List seems quite a fair report of the social mix of this fair island; I have just slightly expanded on the catorgories for those requiring greater insight...
7. The chattering classes - Mostly in North London I believe Onecard
8. The working class (almost extinct) - Last spotted somewhere up North.
9. the aristocracy - Far too many of those freeloading scum.
10. the middle classes (upper, middle, low and aspiring) - About 80% of the UK, so many dinner parties to go to.
11. foreigners - Mostly from nice countires (very few French!)
12. people who would like to be foreign - Is this American wanabees?
13. pond-scum - Slightly Chavish types?
14. fluffy kittens - Can't have enough *****.
15. list makers on forums - Bring back hanging for them.

I don't think there is close enough international equivelent.
Ok, here is some Chav rapping from our resident rudeboy - Dizzee Rascal

Throughout the year, FL98 will be polling random twitter followers to get a better idea of where Vols fans stand on certain issues.
If you would like to participate, shoot us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Hope you enjoy
1 - Grade Butch Jones to this point. Back up your grade with reasons.
@RecruitingUT - I would honestly so far grade Butch Jones a 10 out of 10. Although he hasn't coached in a single game yet he has: Fueled a hungry fan base & has the fan base's 100% backing, brought back former UT players/legends, has so far brought in an absolutely monstrous class, and has dealt with the media wonderfully. Of course he won't go undefeated in his entire tenure at Tennessee but I'm almost 100% positive that he has us headed towards the right direction (competing for National Titles and SEC Titles). But really, Butch so far has done an unreal job and to me he really hasn't done anything really wrong yet in his tenure.
@JohnMcNatt - At this point I would have to give Butch Jones a solid A grade. Everything the man has said and done to this point has given not only this fan base a new energy, but it has translated into the '14 recruiting class. It feels like the fan base and the city of Knoxville as a whole have been reunited and are seeing brighter days ahead. The verdict is still out on what his final grade will be, but as of July he absolutely deserves an A, if not A+.
2 - How many years should Butch Jones have to get this team back to 9-11 wins? Why?
@RecruitingUT - Coach Jones should have about 3 years to get our program back to 9-11 wins. I say this because in Year 1 I expect 6-7 wins, Year 2: I expect 7-8 wins, and Year 3 & beyond I expect: 8 to 11 win seasons almost every single year. By Year 3 I say Coach Jones & Staff captures 9-10 wins because you figure the 2014 Class will be Sophomores (Not counting the Redshirts in that class) and the 2015 Class will be Freshmen and also you cannot forget the 2013 Class (who will be Juniors by then) that features studs such as: WR Marquez North, DE Jason Carr, DE Corey Vareen, ATH Jalen Reeves-Maybin, QBs Riley Ferguson & Josh Dobbs, and so on. So with all of that being stated, Butch should start having 9-11 win seasons by Year 3 or 4 of his tenure.
@JohnMcNatt - I would say 3 years is fair, but I would give him a 4th if year 3 is an 8 win season. When the recruiting class he's putting together right now gets to Knoxville it's only a matter of time before the wins start piling up. Patience is key right now, but I think 3-4 years should be the expectation for when we'll see our Vols in contention again. Butch is a great coach and more importantly a winner, and if he continues to stock the cupboards we're in good hands.
3 - Expectations for this year?
@RecruitingUT - As I said in Question Number 2- I expect 6 to 7 wins this year. This is a team that features over 20 Seniors and I feel that the leadership/heart/intensity will be there as the talent will also but this team has to play an absolute killer schedule featuring road games such as: Oregon, Alabama, and Florida plus we get games at home featuring 2 Top 10 teams: Georgia and South Carolina. With that being said, I think we collect the so called "easy" wins: Austin Peay, South Alabama, & Western Kentucky, then get wins against "middle/lower tier" SEC teams such as: Missouri, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and Auburn. Finally, we could pull an upset at Neyland either over South Carolina or UGA, who both struggle playing against UT and will have to come into College Football's most feared stadium: Neyland. So all in all, the safest bet would be 6 to 8 wins in the regular season and then I also think we win the Bowl Game too.
@JohnMcNatt - My main expectation for this season is to see a team that flies to the ball and plays their asses off every Saturday. I think we'll see a team that we can be proud of as fans every week. That being said, I expect 7 wins in the regular season with a possible 8th in a bowl. Our offensive line is second to none, and our offense will have to rely heavily on them to succeed. I expect our defense to be the most improved unit in the league. We can win 7 without beating a single ranked opponent, and I expect us to knock of UGAy or USCe, so 7 shouldn't be an unrealistic number at all.
4 - Current commit you are most looking forward to seeing on the field this fall
@RecruitingUT - I will narrow it down to 4 guys that I'm looking forward to seeing on the field this Fall: WR Marquez North, DE Corey Vareen, and QBs Josh Dobbs and Riley Ferguson. First off, North is a game changer at the Wide Receiver position, he has the size, the hands, the athleticism, etc. and if he can get the playbook down, he could have a major impact on this team. Secondly, I cannot wait to see Vareen on the DLine. He absolutely tore up Spring practice this year and also the Orange & White game where he had 4 sacks in the 1st Half of the game. His pass-rushing skills will immediately make him a vital part of the DLine corp. Finally, I'm very anxious about the 2 "young guns" at QB: Josh Dobbs and Riley Ferguson. Dobbs has the intelligence (4.0 GPA and Aerospace Engineering major) and threw 33 TDs his Senior year against good GA HS competition. Then you have Ferguson who has lost 2 games since his Pop Warner days (which is super impressive) and threw 53 TDs his Junior year but was limited his Senior year because of an injury but still threw over 20 TDs. One thing about both Dobbs and Ferguson though is they both must put on weight before they hit the field because playing in the SEC takes a toll on everybody, especially the jarring hits QBs take.
@JohnMcNatt - It's a tie for me between Marquez North and Cory Vereen. I think both of those guys will be immediate playmakers for us in the fall and should be fun to watch. We're in desperate need of a playmaker on both the outside of our offense and of the defensive edge, and both of those guys have that kind of
ability. Getting a dependable receiver and pass rusher could be the difference between going bowling & going home for the Vols come December. As a
bonus I think Reevis-Maybin could see some meaningful playing time early on and could be big for us.
5 - Does James Franklin's head look like a penis?
@RecruitingUT - No comment.
@JohnMcNatt - Simply put, yes. That ass clown really just grinds my gears. It's gonna be fun to watch him cower and Butch puts up his orange fence around Tennessee. If he's in Nashville in 3 years I will be absolutely shocked. But yes, he has a penis sitting a top his shoulders for sure. Go Vols

text: Baseball is one of my favorite games and during holidays I use to spend my time with friends by playing baseball. My team is one of the best team in my locality in fact we had won many small tournaments it is only because we took hard training for the past one year. During these days we learned a lot of things about this game and we have very best coach. He trained us both mentally and physically which had really helped to approach this game with success. Baseball is our national sport and I love to watch and play this game. It will be more exciting to watch to live matches in Wrigley rooftop club. One of my favorite team is playing by next week so we altogether had planned to watch this game in the stadium to enjoy the thrill and excitement.

Apple has just released an EFI firmware update 2.6.
The update is recommended for MacBook Air (mid 2012) models and fixes a few issues.
Apple has just released an EFI firmware update for 2010 model MacBook Air, Pro and iMac's.
This is what it contains:
This update enables Lion Recovery from an Internet connection on MacBook Pro (Early 2010) models.
This update enables Lion Recovery from an Internet connection on MacBook Air (Late 2010) models and addresses an issue where the system could restart if the power button is pressed immediately after waking from deep sleep.

Microsoft today started legal action against the Comet Group here in the UK for allegedly selling counterfeit Windows Recovery CDs.
Here is the press release:
READING, England, and REDMOND, Wash. — Jan. 4, 2012 — Microsoft Corp. today issued proceedings against Comet Group PLC for allegedly creating and selling more than 94,000 sets of counterfeit Windows Vista and Windows XP recovery CDs. The alleged counterfeits were sold to customers who had purchased Windows-loaded PCs and laptops.
"As detailed in the complaint filed today, Comet produced and sold thousands of counterfeit Windows CDs to unsuspecting customers in the United Kingdom," said David Finn, associate general counsel, Worldwide Anti-Piracy and Anti-Counterfeiting at Microsoft. "Comet's actions were unfair to customers. We expect better from retailers of Microsoft products — and our customers deserve better, too."
The suit charges Comet with producing the counterfeits in a factory in Hampshire and then selling the media to customers from its retail outlets across the U.K.
Comet is currently owned by French retail company Kesa Electricals PLC, although it is reportedly being purchased by private equity firm OpCapita LLP later this year.
With an emphasis on education, engineering and enforcement, Microsoft seeks to protect its customers from counterfeiting and piracy — and ensure people get what they pay for. If customers ever question the legitimacy of their software, be it a shrink-wrapped product or recovery media, they are advised to visit http://www.howtotell.com to learn more and, if they have any doubt, report the suspicious software to Microsoft.
Apple have today released an EFI Firmware Update for the MacBook Air.
This is what is included in this update:
This update includes fixes that enhance the stability of Lion Recovery from an Internet connection, and resolve issues with Apple Thunderbolt Display compatibility and Thunderbolt Target Disk Mode performance on MacBook Air (mid 2011) models.
Built right into OS X Lion, Lion Recovery lets you repair disks or reinstall OS X Lion without the need for a physical disc.
This is what the Apple KB states:
Built right into OS X Lion, Lion Recovery lets you repair disks or reinstall OS X Lion without the need for a physical disc.
The Lion Recovery Disk Assistant lets you create Lion Recovery on an external drive that has all of the same capabilities as the built-in Lion Recovery: reinstall Lion, repair the disk using Disk Utility, restore from a Time Machine backup, or browse the web with Safari.
Note: In order to create an external Lion Recovery using the Lion Recovery Assistant, the Mac must have an existing Recovery HD.
To create an external Lion Recovery, download the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant application. Insert an external drive, launch the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, select the drive where you would like to install, and follow the on screen instructions.
When the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant completes, the new partition will not be visible in the Finder or Disk Utility. To access Lion Recovery, reboot the computer while holding the Option key. Select Recovery HD from the Startup Manager.
For detailed information on this update, please visit: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.
This is really useful and I'm off to create mine now!
If you want to perform a clean install of Mac OS X Lion instead of an upgrade, or you want to have some recovery media available, just in case, then this is the how to guide for you.
Ok, so the download and upgrade to Lion went well for me, I didn't have any problems. However, I also don't want to wait several hours with my slow internet connection if I have to do a recovery or a reinstallation. Also, for the Mac OS X Lion book I am working on I needed to do some screenshots of a clean configuration (for those readers who just bought a new Mac with Lion installed), so I wanted to have either a DVD or a USB stick with the Lion media on.
After reading through various materials, this is the method I used.
If you have already downloaded and upgraded to Lion then the files won't be there on your Mac as they are deleted once the upgrade has completed. What I did was to recovery a previous backup using Time Machine and then started the process again, only this time I just did the download, I didn't do the upgrade. If you don't have a Time Machine backup, you can always do a factory restore and start again.
Download Lion from the App Store – remember, DON'T install it!
Open up the Applications list and locate Install Mac OSX Lion.
Right click on it and select Show Package Contents.
Navigate through Contents, then SharedSupport and locate InstallESD.dng.
Open up Disk Utility.
Drag InstallESD.dmg to the left column in Disk Utility.
Windows Home Server is great at recovering lost or deleted files from your backed up machines. But what do you do if you haven't backed up your computer, or the file was on a memory card or flash drive? That's when Emergency Undelete comes to the rescue.
Here is how Diskeeper describes Emergency Undelete:
It only takes one lost file to quickly realize how valuable this software is.
You can be the hero to the friend in need or save yourself big time when you accidentally delete the presentation you are about to give while out of town on business. For just $19.95 you are prepared whenever and wherever you need to recover a file from any PC, thumb drive, external hard drive or camera.
65% of data loss is caused by accidental deletions. Don't wait until you've already lost a file to look for a solution. Just the act of looking for a solution on your PC, could cause the lost file to be overwritten and unrecoverable.
Now you can easily recover files, photos, videos, music and more in seconds. You can even restore files that were deleted from the Windows Recycle Bin. Accidentally deleting a file doesn't mean it has to be lost forever.
When you delete a file on your PC or other external storage device, it isn't really deleted; the space the file was using is simply marked as being available for re-use. If nothing has needed that space since the deletion, the data is still there and the file can be recovered using Emergency Undelete.
Emergency Undelete Can Recover:
- Files: Recover all your files, no matter how you deleted them.
- Photos: Get your precious one-of-a-kind photos back fast.
- Videos: Momentous videos are irreplaceable – recover them before they are gone for good.
- Movies: Your favourite movies are far from gone.
- Music: Your entire music collection that has taken years to collect – saved in an instant.
We will be reviewing Emergency Undelete very soon, so watch this space.

With Windows Home Server V1, different companies provided different methods to perform a server recovery. Now that the first Windows Home Server 2011 server is available in the guise of the Tranquil PC Leo HS4, it's time to see how its done now.
[button link="http://connecteddigitalworld.com/2011/05/31/hands-on-review-of-the-tranquil-pc-leo-hs4-windows-home-server-2011/" window="yes"]Check out our exclusive review of the Tranquil PC Leo HS4 Windows Home Server 2011 box[/button]
So assuming that you want, or need to perform a server recovery, or reinstall on your Windows Home Server 2011 box, you will need to perform a number of steps and you will need special media to do it.
In Windows Home Server V1 days, Tranquil provided a cool USB key credit card that you connected to your Home Server to do the reinstallation.
With Windows Home Server 2011, they only provide a Server Recovery DVD.
Have no fear though as the Server Recovery DVD contains everything you need to perform the recovery.
Well ok, not everything, you will need a USB flash drive of at least 8 GB – so make sure you have one to hand when you want to do the recovery.
First, pop the DVD into the DVD drive on one of your PCs. You will see the Getting Started screen which will walk you through creating a bootable USB flash drive with the recovery software on, or you can skip this step and go straight to recovery steps if you previously created the flash drive. Click Next to continue.
Insert a USB flash drive of at least 8 GB. Click Next to continue.

Any time during the 15 day trial you can take out your subscription, or at the end of the 15 day trial the service will stop working.

Here we take another exclusive look at the HomeServerSync add-in for Windows Home Server from Tranquil. This time it is the final beta build and we are looking at the Windows Home Server Add-In.
We had an exclusive first look at the HomeServerSync beta earlier in July, and information on HomeServerSync itself a little while before that.
And earlier this week we announced that the final beta of HomeServerSync was released to a select group of beta testers.
So after playing around with this final beta for a while, I thought I would post up my experiences and show some of the features that were not available the last time – specifically the VPN service.
The first thing you need to do is to register for the service. You do this by visiting the HomeServerSync portal and clicking on Sign Up.
Complete all the details and click Submit.
Once you have successfully registered you might want to sign in to just check your account is working before continuing.
After placing the MSI file in the add-ins folder on your Windows Home Server, installing the add-in is just the same as with any other Windows Home Server add-in, up to a point.
You will be asked to install the Microsoft Sync Framework 2.0 – don't worry, just click Install when prompted.
Once that has installed you will be asked to install the HSSyncServer – again it is just a case of following the steps in the wizard.
Once that has been completed you will be prompted to register the VPN. In this beta, sometimes the dialog box is hidden behind another window which gives you the impression that the install has frozen. Just move the windows around and you will find it. This will be fixed for the final release according to Tranquil.
Enter the account and password details you created earlier and click Register.
The process should only take a few moments.
You will also be prompted to install some hardware – the TranquilPC hardware. This is normal and is the virtual hardware for the VPN component – so make sure you click Continue Anyway.
And that is it – the installation is now complete and you will have to restart the Windows Home Server Console.
Following on from our 5 days of questions for the CloudBerry Backup for Windows Home Server Giveaway earlier this week, there is still time to enter, and we have made it easier for you win.
The announcement about version 1.6 came out last week.
What is CloudBerry Backup for Windows Home Server you might ask:
CloudBerry Online Backup for Windows Home Server provides a powerful Backup and Restore program designed to leverage Amazon S3 storage to make your disaster recovery plan simple, reliable, and affordable.
Ok, so on to the giveaway.
Our friends at CloudBerry Labs have given us 5 copies of CloudBerry Backup for Windows Home Server to giveaway to our readers
The way this giveaway is going to work is that for the next five days, starting today, we are going to post a question. You need to answer each question and after the 5th and final question has been posted send all the answers to us and we will select 5 correct sets of entries. Don't worry if you already have CloudBerry Backup for WHS, you can always give it to someone else.
The giveaway is open to anyone, anywhere in the world.
So, we asked you to answer 5 questions over 5 days and email your answers to us. In case you wanted to check, you needed to answer question 1, question 2, question 3, question 4 and question 5.
In honour of the Home Server Shows 100th episode, we have decided to throw an extra question in which you can answer INSTEAD of the 5 questions.
What is your favourite article on UWHS and why? You don't have to provide a long answer so what have you got to lose?
