DFL 2nd conference set July-A A +A
Wednesday, March 12, 2014
WITH the successful staging of Dynamic Football League's first conference, the second one is already set for second week of July up to
October this year, tournament chairman Andrew Infante said.
Infante said that during a consultative meeting on February 25 with coaches from Bacolod and out-of-town schools, it was decided that the Under 11 category will be added.
"So for the forthcoming tournament there will be U11 and U13 categories. There will be no U16 for the meantime to accommodate as many school teams as possible in the two age-groups," he added.
The U11 will be played in a 7-a-side format while the U13 will follow the same 9-a-side format.
The first coaches' meeting will be held on April 26 and the submission of line-up will be from June 16 to 19 through DFL's website.
Registration and submission of other requirements is set on June 21 and the screening of players, on June 28 and 29.
Defending champion University of St. La Salle-Integrated School, Trinity Christian School, Don Bosco Technical Institute, Apolinario Mabini Elementary School, University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos and Andres Bonifacio Elementary School are expected to come out strong.
The La Sallians, coached by Dave Javellana, beat Ronald Allan "Cocoy" Treyes-mentored TCS, 3-1 in the first conference finals last Saturday at Panaad Park and Stadium.
The Junior Stingers survived UNO-R in a tight quarterfinal match and escaped tough Don Bosco Tecnical Institute of Victorias mentored by Raymundo Baldava in the semifinals.
Don Bosco blanked AMES, 4-nil to salvage third place.
"We can see improvement in most of the participating teams, there were no defaults or game cancellation. It was a success because of the cooperation of coaches and support of parents and school administrators," Infante said.

Hanging Alarm Clock: Blissful Sleep is Always Just Out of Reach
Back in 2005 a designer named Hayat Benchenaa developed a concept alarm clock that was suspended from the ceiling. When the alarm sounded in the morning, all you needed to do was give it a smack to continue snoozing. However, doing so would cause the alarm clock to retreat further towards the ceiling, making it more… »

Dr. Jeffrey A. Glick's Ratings
I've been going to Dr. Glick for over ten years. In that time, he's been patient, understanding, and helped me through several health issues. I really like him, and feel that he's concerned, knowledgeable and an overall great physician, both in expertise and bedside manner. His staff is also first rate. HIGHLY recommended

I came to this Dr for primary care. I have chronic stomach issues and kidney stones. He was more worried about me being off an anitdepressant than what I was concerned about. Also when I had my CT scan, no one called me about the results. When I call 3wks later I was told yes you have multiple small kidney stones in both kidneys and Dr Glick will call you. Never heard from him. Then after I passed a stone and they sent it for analysis, I was never updated on the results. But of course recieved the bill for the stone analysis. Needless to say I am looking for a new primary care doctor.

News PhotoBull - Animal,Ceremony,Ethiopia,Horizontal,Horn of Africa,Indigenous Culture,LifestylesPhotographer Anthony PapponeCollection: Moment anthony pappone[UNVERIFIED CONTENT] hamer tribe paint their faces during the ceremony bull jumping. Bull jumping ceremony is a rite of passage ceremony for men coming of age must be done before a boy is permitted to marry. The boy must jump the cows four times to be successful. This test is performed while naked except for a few cords bound across the chest as a symbol of the childhood he is about to leave behind him. On completion of this test, the young man joins the others boys who have recently passed the same test and who spend the next few months of their lives supervising these events in villages throughout the Hamar territory. The ceremonies end with several days of feasting, including the typical jumping dances, accompanied by as much sorghum beer as the bull-jumper's family can provide to the visitor.

My Email Digests
I have two children, son 19 and a daugter 15. I was "Mr. Mom" in addition to a demanding career as a high school teacher and the data base manager for the high school. I love my children more than anything in this world.
While I was parenting my ex wife was climbing the career ladder and is currenlty the most sought after banker in the city of Philadelphia and worth millions. She is a VP for the largest Philadelphia based bank.
I am sure my ADD cause some of the problems in our marriage, but when she was award the options the marriage was over, I just didn't know it. My ex wife has a personality very few people have. She is very likeable, outgoing and maybe the smartest person I know. Her flaw is she doesn't have any ethics and money means more to her than anything in the world.
After the settlement of the stock options which destroyed me financially my anger(ADHD), depression and anxiety took over my life.
I couldn't get out of bed in the morning i was so depressed. My financial situation caused tremendous amounts of anxiety. My 90% parenting role began to slowly diminish and basically ended in Feb 2009 when my financial house completely collapsed. I lost my condo to foreclosure, lost my Jeep Liberty and every material possesion I owned.
i attempted suicide in Feb 2009 when I had to give away my daughters dogs - the most important part of her life. I survived, but barely.
My ex wife took complete advantage of my collapse and eliminated me from my children's lives. That made everything continually get worse. The feeling of loss was tremendous.
After 3 long years my Doctors finally have the right combination of drugs along with weekly therapy to control my depression, most of my ADHD and most of my anxiety.
My entire family has rejected me, along with my children and i am alone. All my social groups were destroyed by my collapse and I have virtually no support left.
I am hoping there are others in Philadelphia who suffer from ADHD, which I battle with every day, even medicated. I have excelllent mental health care, but the external life factors are making it very difficult for the medicine to completely control the symptons of each of my illnesses.
I hope to hear from some others who also suffer from Adhd who have suffered great loss as a result.

Overview of Research
Members of the Patricelli lab study animal communication and sexual selection, with a focus on understanding the amazing diversity and complexity in animal signals.
Current projects in the Patricelli Lab:
1) The causes and functional implications of directional sound radiation in songbirds
2) Sexual selection and acoustic communication in sage-grouse
3) The effects of noise from energy development on acoustic communication and breeding behaviors of sage-grouse
In addition, graduate students in the lab are working on independent projects addressing animal communication.
POSTDOCS: In February 2009,we posted a postdoc job listing for acoustic modelling of noise impacts in sage-grouse. The position is now FILLED, so we are no longer considering applications.
GRAD STUDENTS: There are opportunites for graduate students to develop projects in any of the three research areas listed above, or to develop other projects related to animal communication and/or sexual selection. For admission into grad school at UC Davis, students must apply to graduate groups rather than to departments. Graduate students can apply to join the Patricelli lab through the Animal Behavior, the Population Biology or the Ecology (with an emphasis in conservation ecology) graduate groups. If you would like to discuss joining the lab, please send Gail an e-mail.
UNDERGRADUATES: We have many undergraduates working in the lab, and are usually looking to recruit more. Most students begin by working on the analysis of sage-grouse behaviors from video, but we are also happy to have students pursuing independent research projects. Please contact Gail if you are interested in working in the lab.

Relax outdoors in London
Published: Monday 2nd of August 2010
There are so many things to see and do in London that a trip to the British capital can sometimes be quite exhausting.
So it is a pleasant relief to find a nice spot where you can relax and sit down. London is blessed with many suitable places to go, as it hosts a number of delightful public spaces where you can take the weight off your feet and have a break.
Hampstead Heath, for instance, is one such location. Situated just four miles away from Trafalgar Square, its grassy hills, ponds and woodlands are an oasis of calm in a city that never sleeps.
Even the kids will find plenty to enjoy at Hampstead Heath, as it has recreational facilities such as playgrounds, while the trees will seem like a magical forest to little ones.
Adults, meanwhile, can relax with a book in idyllic surroundings or perhaps marvel at the stunning array of flora and fauna that populates this area.
You might find it hard to believe that you are actually in London when you come here.
Another outdoor space you might enjoy during your visit to London is St James's Park, which stands near Buckingham Palace and the Mall.
Again, it is another location in central London that somehow becomes a quiet and pleasant environment, even though it is surrounded by the heavy traffic and activity you would expect in a global city like this.
The park is populated by a stunning collection of bird life, including ducks, gulls, geese and pelicans, as well as swans and even the relatively rare carrion crows and grey wagtails.
Ornithologists could easily lose themselves in this delightful location and be charmed by the remarkable selection of birds that flock in and out every single day.
And it is an ideal base if you plan to see some of the pomp at Buckingham Palace, such as the Changing of the Guards.
Alternatively, you might want to head to St James's Park if you plan to take in some of the free outdoor concerts that are regularly staged here throughout the summer months.
London is not exactly known as a place where you can enjoy green spaces and wildlife, but the sheer number of stunning parks around the city suggests it is being underrated by many people.
Richmond Park is yet another example of how this may be the case, as it features hills and woodland gardens that again make you forget you are in the UK's capital city.
Crowds, traffic jams and the hustle and bustle of life in London are the last things on your mind in this spot, which is actually a National Nature Reserve.
The accolade has been handed to this historic location as it contains a remarkable variety of wildlife, ranging from grebe, mallards, pike and some truly beautiful deer.
Since they are located at various points around central London, all these green spaces are very easy to reach by bus, by Tube or on foot.
And of course, it costs absolutely nothing to investigate these locations and enjoy all that they have to offer.
Chances are you will have decided which museums, galleries and other tourist attractions you want to take in during your visit to London.
So when you have planned all this, see which public spaces are located nearby.
It's a great way to recharge your batteries on a busy day of sightseeing while taking in some locations that can be regarded as stunning in their own right.

FAIRVIEW, TEXAS (Tom Green County). Fairview was on Lipan Flat west of U.S. Highway 87 four miles southeast of San Angelo in central Tom Greene County. In 1931 the local school had four teachers, and in 1933 it had fifty-nine students; a church and scattered dwellings were in the community. In the 1980s Fairview no longer appeared on state highway maps.

Brandon Browner has stood out in Seattle's secondary the past two weeks, and not just because he's 6 feet 4.
On Sunday against Washington, he was the man in coverage on the 50-yard touchdown pass from Rex Grossman to Anthony Armstrong that turned out to be the game-winning score.
"I really felt bad," Browner said. "I really felt like I lost the game for us last week. I learned from it."
Yes, he did, and Thursday against Philadelphia, Browner stood out for a very different reason: He picked off Philadelphia's Vince Young twice, becoming the first Seahawk to intercept two passes in more than a year.
Long way to TD
Linebacker David Hawthorne had a clear path to the end zone after his fourth-quarter interception.
It wasn't quite the perfect scenario, though.
"In my dreams, I usually only run like 20 yards," Hawthorne said.
Thursday he had to run 77 after stepping in front of Philadelphia's LeSean McCoy and outrunning everyone to the end zone. Hawthorne was a game-time decision because of a sore knee, and he didn't know if he would be able to play until he worked out before the game.
Turnover a new leaf
"Turnover Thursday" is the designation Seattle uses during its normal practice schedule. The Seahawks carried that theme into Thursday's game against the Eagles.
Seattle intercepted the Eagles' Vince Young four times, the Seahawks committed no turnovers and for the first time this season they had a positive turnover margin of plus four.
"This is turnover Thursday for us anyway when we practice," coach Pete Carroll said. "So the fact we got a whole bunch of them tonight is a really big deal to us."
Chris cross
Defensive end Chris Clemons was playing against the team that traded him to Seattle. He played for the Eagles in 2008 and 2009.
Seattle acquired Clemons and a fourth-round pick in exchange for Darryl Tapp last year, and as a Seahawk, Clemons has emerged as the team's most dangerous pass rusher with 19 sacks in 28 starts. He said there wasn't any extra motivation in facing his former employer.
"Just going out and doing my job like I do every week," Clemons said, "trying to help my team win a game. There was no extra motivation from that team. It was all business for me. I never took it personal. It was the best thing they ever did for me."
Clemons had three tackles. One play brought him to the Eagles sideline in pursuit, and it appeared he shouted directly in front of Eagles coach Andy Reid.

Be wary of merchants that increase the price of the product they have up for bid by making bids on their merchandise using false accounts. If you notice a person attempting to outbid you but only on small increments of your bid every time, it is likely that bidder is a shill. Ensure that the online shop features a secure web server for getting orders and look for the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
The use of a rebate continues to be escalating because it is the best way to lower the regular cost of a merchandise, without the dealer having to incur price protection. Twitter or Facebook usually has promotions presenting great bargains designed for online customers by way of guiding all of them to click shortened web links. You should not simply click on these types of shorter urls. Lookup the seller's official site and from that point, confirm if there are actually excellent money-saving deals currently presented. Trying to find exactly the same item on different sites will allow you to make a price comparison. If you intend on buying the merchandise, just be certain that the site you will be buying it from is legitimate.
Possibly the most popular methods a scammer could target you is actually by dropping spam inside your email address. The easiest way to avoid being duped by these spammers is by not purchasing any item from a message you didn't request. If you find the product you are searching for, please mouse click the hyperlink or merchandise so that you can be rerouted to its ebay webpage. Although a few dealers are paid cash when they are going to advertise goods from certain firms, they're not going to get paid if they market any product which is below its actual minimum advertised price (MAP).
When you purchase a present online and giving it to a receiver from abroad, the receiver is still required to pay duties and taxes. A number of sites have very low shipping rates, a few establish their particular shipping charges on distance, while some have predetermined fee shipping rates no matter what the location. Since shipping fees change depending on website or vendor, this makes it important to check out the shipping fees initially prior to buying to see if you are prepared to pay for their shipping fees.

SANTA CLARA — A few days before the last game ever played at Candlestick Park, Vernon Davis walked off the practice field talking to Frank Gore after a morning walkthrough.
Davis had agreed to do a one-on-one interview after the walkthrough about the last great moment at Candlestick — a play called Vernon Post, unofficially the Catch III, his 14-yard touchdown that beat the Saints in the playoffs on Jan. 14, 2012, and gave the 49ers their first playoff win in nine years.
Candlestick Park Through the Years
Davis greeted the interviewer outside the locker room, and Gore walked toward the open locker room doors, but then he turned around and said, "Can I talk, too?"
So, Davis, pretending to be a reporter, asked Gore the first question. "What did that game mean to you, Frank?"
Gore smiled. He liked being included in this topic, and he liked Davis deferring to him. "That's probably my best moment," said Gore. "First playoff game. Seeing how we fought. Everybody thought the game was over. That's my best time at Candlestick."

History of Spinsters
The Spinster Myth Lives, Even If No One Says It
So, of course, the word spinster is being used to describe 28-year-old Kate. Although, she'd need another decade to qualify according to old English law, which considered "spinster" a legal term for unmarried women 38 and over until 2005.
So where did this ominous word originate? Find out below.
Its origin is actually benign. Spinster was a term for girls and women who spun wool — one of the few occupations women could earn a living from. Being unmarried was synonymous with virginity, and thus purity, which was respected in Catholic-dominated Europe. It remained so until Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door and said sexiness is next to godliness. Or, perhaps more accurately, there is no virtue in celibacy and marriage is the best way to serve God.
By the 18th century, the spinster was a cautionary tale. She was in poetry, novels, plays, and paintings and was forever awkward, clumsy, nearsighted, and gossipy. Though early feminists planted the idea that it was OK to be picky, it was not a reality for most women until the latter half of the 20th century.
Today spinster is rarely uttered, and it's a joke when it is. But with books like Marry Him advocating an end to pickiness, settling seemed to make a comeback in 2010. Even in pro-female shows, like Sex and the City and 30 Rock, the anxiety of being single at a certain age fills entire episodes. So just because we no longer say spinster, does that mean the myth is extinct?

Before I could get a word out, Miller Grove coach Sharman White layed out the ground rules.
There would be no talk about 'David vs. Goliath' and he wasn't giving me any information on his team. Other than those two topics, White said he would be more than happy to talk to me.
I laughed.
White was probably expecting a call from me, and recognized my number. He knew in my new gig that Jonesboro was one of the teams that I covered. White and I have known each other for many years, and we have mutual friends.
I first met him when he was a second-year head coach leading Carver High of Atlanta into the Final Four.
White knows that newspaper reporters are always looking for a story.
But he wasn't giving one on this day.
"Everybody wants to write the story for us," he said. "We can't afford to listen to any of that talk - good or bad."
The Wolverines are the two-time defending Class AAAA champions.
They play in a region that has produced the last seven state champions. White knows something about good basketball. He also knows a little about Jonesboro, his team's opponent in today's state semifinals.
The two schools played in the same region in 2006, Miller Grove's first season on the varsity level. They split their two games that year, and White has been impressed by his coaching counterpart Dan Maehlman.
"We have had some good battles during that season and in the summer," White said. "We follow each other. This isn't a David verus Goliath matchup. They are a legit team and this will be a great game."
Jonesboro senior James White, no relation, has heard it from his classmates this week in the hallways. They realize that taking on Miller Grove is a tall order, even for the 6-foot-8 White.
Moments after Jonesboro defeated Hardaway in Fort Valley last week to earn a trip to the Final Four, I asked White about the match up with nationally-ranked Miller Grove.
"We will take it as another game," he said inside the Cardinals' locker room.
But this isn't just another game, against just any opponent.
It is the Final Four against perhaps the best team the fifth-ranked Cardinals have played all season.
Some would probably say Jonesboro has nothing to lose and the pressure is all on Miller Grove, since they entered the season as a favorite to repeat.
White sees it a lot different.
"Everybody is feeling the pressure," White said. "Nobody wants to go home at this point in the season."
At least not empty-handed.

In new research that could have implications for improving fertilization in humans and other mammals, life scientists studied interactions between individual sperm and eggs in red abalone, an ocean-dwelling snail, and made precise chemical measurements and physical models of these interactions. They are the first scientists to do so.
By simulating the natural habitat of the abalone in the laboratory, the scientists were able to determine the conditions under which spermegg encounters and fertilization were most likely to occur.
"If we can understand the basic physics, chemistry and biology of reproduction, then moving from one species to the next is like dotting I's and crossing T's," said the study's lead author, Richard Zimmer, a UCLA distinguished professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.
Red abalone live in ocean crevices and spawn year-round, with females releasing several million eggs and males releasing up to 10 billion sperm directly into the ocean, Zimmer said.
In 2002, Zimmer's research team identified a molecule called tryptophan that is released by female abalone eggs to attract sperm. Now Zimmer and Jeffrey Riffell, an assistant professor of biology at the University of Washington, report that the released tryptophan creates a plume around the egg, greatly enlarging the target area for sperm, in much the same way using a larger tennis racket increases the chances of hitting the ball. The plume increases the egg size by a factor of five, the researchers said.
In addition, the egg has to release very little tryptophan to increase its target area, Zimmer and Riffell report in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research is currently online and will be in published an upcoming print edition of the journal.
"We established that less than 1 percent of an egg's tryptophan reserves are used by eggs to communicate with sperm," Zimmer said. "The egg does

AgriLife Extension/Parks & Wildlife to launch Master Naturalist training here Sept. 3
Polk County Enterprise - August 2009
LIVINGSTON —As part of an effort to expand tourism-related business in Polk County, the Livingston-Polk County Chamber of Commerce has announced that a Texas Master Naturalist training program will begin in Livingston Sept. 3. Anyone interested in participating should attend an orientation meeting at 2 p.m. Sept. 3 in the chamber's conference room. If you cannot attend that meeting, contact Chamber Executive Director Sydney Murphy at 936- 327-4929 or the AgriLife Extension office at 936-327-6828.
The Master Naturalist Committee will join three other groups the chamber has formed (birding, paddle trails and hiking and biking) to promote this area's natural assets for outdoor enthusiasts with these areas of interest. The birding committee is developing brochures, a web site and other promotional materials that feature information on the types of birds often found in the Polk County/Lake Livingston area. Paddle trail committee members will facilitate the creation of launch and take out points on local waterways. Some of those paddle trails will link with The Conservation Fund's Neches River paddle trails being developed as part of its Pineywoods Experience project. The Nature Tourism Committee's birding group will meet at 2 p.m. Sept. 3 also.
Thirteen chapters of the Texas Master Naturalist program have already formed and have announced fall training classes for volunteers wanting to help conserve our natural resources. The Texas Master Naturalist program – now with 38 chapters across the state — develops a corps of well informed citizen volunteers who educate their communities about natural resource management. The Texas program has won numerous awards and helped spawn a similar national movement. The main qualification needed to become a Certified Texas Master Naturalist is an interest in learning and taking an active role in conservation. Volunteers receive a minimum of 40 hours of training from educators and specialists with universities, government agencies, nature centers and museums.
Training topics include interpretation and management of natural resources, ecological concepts, eco-regions of Texas and natural systems management. Volunteers are expected to contribute 40 hours of service a year in community education, demonstration and habitat enhancement projects.

Ok, so first off "Leatherstockings" does not refer to anything I personally wear. It is a somewhat obscure reference to some of the books that I like. If you want to know more, google it.

Steve sighed and looked at the clock. He had just 5 min to figure out what to do. This was not the way to start out a week. He had received the call from Jax, the head of IT and Security Saturday morning. When Jax refused to tell him the problem over the phone, he knew it was big. When he came to the office and watched the video, big turned into shocking. Sally had always been a star for...

Sally glanced down at her watch. The session should have been done 30 min ago, but Bob was still droning on. It wasn't that Bob wasn't interesting to watch. Her friends described him as young Alec Baldwin. But being lectured on corporate initiatives late on a Friday just didn't cut it. Over the course of the two week training course, Sally had tried to make a connection with Bob. Initially...

The cool air rushed over him as he plunged into the darkness. This was Jake's favorite time to run. The darkness heightened all of his senses and he felt like he was floating. As he glided through the side streets on his way to the waterfront, he could hear the traffic and people on the main street. To his surprise, he also heard a woman's voice call out from one of the dark side alleys....

Jasper County police put the brakes on a marijuana growing operation after a traffic stop Tuesday on County Road 1100 North, south off Wheatfield.
When 58-year old Edward Born was stopped for erratic driving, Deputy Rich Trail smelled marijuana and saw a plastic bag containing plant material.
A field test on the material was positive for the controlled substance, according to a statement released by Sheriff Terry Risner.
Trail's investigation indicated Born's house might contain a larger amount of marijuana.
After executing a search warrant, Jasper County sheriff's deputies and officers from three other agencies found 28 pounds of processed and bagged marijuana, an indoor grow operation with 26 cultivated plants and $54,000 at Born's residence on Jasper County Road 1125 North.
Born was initially arrested for felony possession of marijuana.
His wife, 52-year old Cheri Born, was initially arrested for possession with the intent to deal.
Both face charges of dealing in marijuana.
Several Harley-Davidson motorcycles and two other vehicles were seized as fruits of illegal drug activity.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will help implement the property forfeiture.
In August, the Jasper County Sheriff's Office received $2.5 million through the U.S. Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Program.
The money was Jasper County's share of a seizure and arrest of three men on Interstate 65 in October 2011. The DEA determined the money was the proceeds of drug trafficking.
No one claimed the cash, and the DEA declared it was forfeited to local police.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Deep brain stimulation for refractory chronic pain syndromes (excluding headache).
NICE has also published guidance on Deep brain stimulation for intractable trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias.
Refractory chronic pain syndromes are characterised by pain that persists despite treatment and for longer than expected. Causes are varied and pain can occur anywhere in the body. Chronic pain can be debilitating and have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. A variety of treatments can be used depending on the cause and precise symptoms. This procedure aims to treat chronic pain that does not respond to other treatments. It involves stimulating a precise area of the brain using an electrode.
OPCS4.6 Code(s)
A09.1 Implantation of neurostimulator into brain
Y53.3 Approach to organ under computed tomography scan control
Includes: Approach to organ under stereotactic control
Y53.7 Approach to organ under magnetic resonance imaging control
Appropriate ICD-10 codes are assigned in addition depending on the specific site of the pain, if the site of the pain is not known ICD-10 code R52.2 Other chronic pain is assigned.
The NHS Classifications Service of NHS Connecting for Health is the central definitive source for clinical coding guidance and determines the coding standards associated with the classifications (OPCS-4 and ICD-10) to be used across the NHS. The NHS Classifications Service and NICE work collaboratively to ensure the most appropriate classification codes are provided. www.connectingforhealth.co.uk/clinicalcoding

Bad enough they are canning BoaB because they won't address larger issues with it's problems (no consistent definition of what budget is, trying to appease competitive and casual player's simultaneously, ignoring the fact that magic has a much larger problem in that it's nearly impossible to make good decks under $100, etc....).If this column left, I'd never bother to check this site every week.Keep up the good work Noel, you're awesome!

Hi veryone,
I currently have Rogers High-Speed Internet and the modem that they lent to me is Toshiba PCX2500. If I buy a different cable modem with different model, will it work? Do I have configure the modem or let Rogers knows? By the way, what is a good cable modem for Rogers services? Thank you very much
Just plugging it up it will not work.
You will have to first contact the ISP and see if they will support it. Than you will have to have the ISP change the mac address on their side to match the mac address on your new modem.
Most ISP's will say no way, you may get lucky, personally I wouldn't like using a toshiba modem either, rather have a websurfer, or motorola myself.
Thank you Outlander for your advices.
Don't know where you hail from Outlander, but out of three high-speed ISPs in two different states in the US I have been able to use my own cable modems in each of them.

Disaster Response and Recovery: Is Your Camp Ready?
Fortunately the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season didn't meet the forecasters' predictions. The mild weather pattern was a welcome relief to those at risk following two devastating hurricane seasons in 2004 and 2005.
Weather and changing weather patterns were big stories nonetheless in 2006 in other ways. An Associated Press article written by Randolph E. Schmid and reported on Forbes.com in 2006 went into the books as the third warmest year on record in the contiguous United States. The warm weather created dry conditions in parts of the country and spawned a record number of wildfires, with 9.5 million acres burned by year's end.
While parts of the U. S. suffered under drought conditions and burned, other regions (New England, South Central, and Pacific Northwest) were experiencing record rainfall causing floods, mudslides, extensive property damage, and loss of life.
Disasters can be widespread, impacting many businesses and lives like the damage a hurricane might cause from high winds and rain. Disasters can also be local and specifically impact your camp, such as a fire that destroys your dining hall or an automobile accident injuring many campers and staff.
Receiving help in a disaster depends upon the scope and type of the event. If damage is widespread involving many communities, like that caused by a flood for example, local, state, and federal governmental resources will be marshaled to provide assistance. In addition, organizations like American Red Cross, some private and religiously-affiliated disaster relief organizations can also be expected to respond in these circumstances.
The extent of the assistance and how quickly these resources respond will vary depending upon where your camp is located—and how severely the emergency response infrastructure is damaged by a widespread event. Emergency response officials usually advise that individuals and businesses be prepared to fend for themselves for at least the first seventy-two hours following a disaster.
The focus of the initial effort is rescuing people, finding temporary shelter for them, providing food, water, and medical care as needed. It is only after these priorities are addressed that governmental resources turn their attention to local businesses. This can be weeks, months, or years later.
Insurance company claim adjusters usually are on the heels of emergency response teams, trying to locate their customers, provide initial financial assistance as needed, and begin the task of assessing the damage.
Assistance to small businesses damaged by Hurricane Katrina for example, who didn't have insurance, or enough insurance, included Small Business Administration Loans at low interest rates to repair buildings and replace contents and inventories. Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) were also made available to small businesses unable to pay bills or meet operating expenses. There was even some disaster unemployment assistance for the self-employed persons.
Local Disaster Assistance
Response to a local disaster such as a fire that destroys your dining hall is a different story. Chances are disaster assistance will be focused and limited to emergency response by fire departments, police, emergency medical services, gas and electric companies, building code enforcement officers, and other local government agencies, such as your health departments.
You can also expect your insurance broker, insurance company, neighbors, fellow camp directors, the American Camp Association, and other camp professionals to be there for you and offer various types of assistance, but governmental resources (local, state, or otherwise) will typically not be available.
While you will not be entirely "on your own" so to speak, it will feel like you are at times. Camp directors who have experienced a disaster at their camp talk about feeling overwhelmed. It is easy to imagine the confusion and upset that overtakes people in a time of crisis. Camp directors who have successfully navigated the rough waters a disaster can create uniformly point to planning as one of the pre-event actions they took that helped make a difference.
Small Businesses Largely Unprepared
Studies on disaster preparedness from a variety of organizations report similar findings, most small businesses are not prepared to deal with a disaster and don't have disaster recovery plans. On the surface this is not surprising, or alarming.
We are bombarded with facts and figures in the headlines every day. The lack-of-preparedness report is the kind of information that "washes over us" and gets filed in the back of our minds as a project we will get to "one of these days." The real concern for business owners and managers is behind the headline: the studies conclude that up to forty percent of small businesses do not reopen following a disaster in their area.
It takes a few seconds to absorb this information. It takes a little longer to realize its significance and longer still to understand the risks and prepare a business continuation plan.
First Steps—Where to Begin
Why does it make good business sense to invest time and money in disaster response and recovery planning? Each of us may have slightly different answers to this question, but the common thread for many of us may be 1) help people (campers, staff, members of the public) in a time of crisis; 2) to survive the disaster; and 3) protect our businesses and continue operating our camps and conference center programs.
This is easier said than done, because the obstacles may be formidable. The good news is you probably have elements of a disaster response and recovery plan already in place (e.g., risk management plans including fire prevention plans, safety and health plans, emergency action plans, evacuation plans, etc.), which will make the development of your disaster response and recovery plan easier.
Next Steps—Establish a Team
The type and size of your business will influence the next steps. If you are a private camp owner, you just have to convince yourself and/or your partners that investing time and money in this project is good for your camp. If you are a nonprofit or religious organization, you will have to convince your board of directors.
After securing commitment from all stakeholders in your organization, establish a project team. Once again the size of your organization will influence the number of people on the team. It is a good idea to have at least two people involved if possible who have a broad perspective on all of the business and operational issues at camp. Following are some resources that may be helpful as your team starts developing your plan:
Step-by-Step Guide
The guide is divided into four sections:
Other Resources
The American Red Cross (www.redcross.org) is another valuable source of information on disaster planning and preparedness. Visit the Web site and click on Disaster Services to locate information about children and disasters. Click on Publications and go to Community Disaster Education Materials then to General Disaster Preparedness for more business-related information. Some of the material on the Red Cross site may be available for a nominal fee.
Another Web site worth exploring is www.disaster-recovery-guide.com. Besides general information about disaster planning, recovery, and some potentially useful links, they offer an MS-Word document template called the BCP Generator. For those interested in a "fill in the blanks," planning and disaster recovery guide, the document can be downloaded for $199.
Nuts and Bolts
One of the keys to developing a comprehensive plan is to do a thorough risk or threat analysis. The FEMA Emergency Management Guide refers to this process as a vulnerability analysis.
The Guide suggests considering risks unique to your site and facilities, as well as risk factors in your local community. It recommends a historical review of the types of events or emergencies occurring in the past (e.g., fire, hurricane, floods, earthquake, etc.); geographic factors (e.g., proximity to dams, military bases, railroads, chemical plants, etc.); review of technological risks (e.g., computer security breach resulting in the theft of camper parent credit card information, etc.); the risks of human error (e.g., sexual misconduct, carelessness, or fatigue which results in injury to campers or staff); and the risks that are created by the physical nature of your facilities themselves (ropes courses, age of buildings, condition of electrical systems, types of activities, etc.).
Once your team has identified the risks, assess the impacts on your organization in "what if" type scenarios. Build your response plans to manage and reduce the impact of these events, stabilize things, and return to normal as quickly as possible.
Don't forget to include a review of your insurance in the disaster planning process. It is important to know how and when your insurance, especially your camp's direct damage, and loss of income and extra expense insurance responds in a crisis. Don't let your camp become a statistic! Take the time to make plans to respond to and survive a disaster. Be prepared!
