Life: Find Your Happy Place (season premiere)
(S02E01) Ten months. That's how long its been since we've seen a fresh episode of Life. After the last episode aired in November there was nary a word about the show, save for reports of its renewal and a bit about casting changes. This left fans of the show in a bit of a tizzy. For Life wasn't just a dime-a-dozen criminal procedural, but a show with an underlying story about conspiracy and the search for justice. By the time the show ended its very short first season we were cheering Detective Charlie Crews as he was able to get a semblance of his freedom back.
Now we enter season two. And, as usual, the following question comes to mind: did it carry on the spirit of season one? Well yes, and possibly no. Click ahead to find out.
What are all those Olympic promos worth?
Apparently, not so much. The Hollywood Reporter runs down the record for the network promoting new shows during past games. In 2004, the Athens games led to one show, Joey, making it beyond its first season. Likewise for the Sydney games in 2000, which brought us Ed, and nothing else. Things were a little better in 1996 from Atlanta. Profiler, The Pretender, and Suddenly Susan all lasted another four years. Not a stellar track record and it leaves you thinking that those precious spots might have served the network better pitching more beer. It has the makings of a good poll though. After the jump, place your vote for the one new show that will make it out of season one.
Life news: season one DVD and season premiere date(s)
Its been a very quiet summer for NBC's procedural drama Life. Fact is, its been a very quiet 10 months since the last original episode aired. Other than a schedule change (to Friday nights. Feh!), a casting addition back in April, and some brief mentions at the TCAs back in July, it's almost like the show never existed for the network. And, if I sound a bit miffed about this I'd say you're right. A unique show like Life deserves a bit more talk-up and promotion then it has gotten.
However, there are some stirrings about the show that seem somewhat promising. First, season one of Life will be released September 2nd on DVD. This is good news for those of you unhappy with the fact that NBC is not re-airing the first season prior to the newest one, or for those of you who have trouble accessing the episodes on Hulu.
TV Squad presents the 2008-09 fall schedule
It's coming. The table is set, the players are on the field, the sails are raised, and the pretty maids are all in a row. Of course, I speak of the 2008-09 television schedule. In just a few short weeks viewers will be able to dine on a number of favorite and new dishes that are being served by the networks as well as the increasing number of cable channels who are delving into original programming.
While other fall seasons have come and gone with nary a whimper, this season may be different. Due to the prolonged Writers Strike many shows ended their seasons quite early. Programs like Life, Private Practice, Pushing Daisies, and Heroes haven't aired original episodes since the end of 2007. Heck, there hasn't been a new episode of The Shield since June of last year! So, the beginning of the 2008-09 season will be a second chance for some of these shows, particularly the ones that premiered last season, to show their worth to fans and the networks.
NBC wrap-up: Slater's split personality, and Selma Blair's a wise-ass - TCA Report
Today was the very last day of the press tour here in Beverly Hills. It was "TCA Day," with members of the association (including me) going to the Warner Brothers lot to visit the sets of ER, Pushing Daisies, and Chuck, where we spoke to cast members and producers (Oh, we went to the set of America's Best Dance Crew, but let's just forget I mentioned that one). Then we bused it over to the Fox lot, where Joss Whedon showed us around the set of Dollhouse, and the entire cast of King of the Hill gave a table read of their 250th episode. All this fun will be in upcoming posts later this summer.
Despite some of the griping you may have seen from me, it's been lots of fun. It's just a very tiring experience. Case in point: On Monday, NBC decided to close out the press conference portion of the tour by having us sit through ten panels, five of them after lunch. Here's a wrap-up post that goes over some of what went on yesterday that I haven't already covered.
NBC executive session: Leno, Office spin-off, and infronts - TCA Report
When will we be able to see the first season of Life again?
Or Chuck, or Pushing Daisies, or Private Practice for that matter. With the announcement that FOX was going to offer a marathon of The Sarah Connor Chronicles starting on August 10th I got to wondering about the other freshman shows that made an impression on viewers before the Writers Strike abruptly ended their seasons. Many of these shows haven't been seen since the end of last year.
For Life, the last original episode to air was December 5th. With the second season premiere slated to air during the first week of October, it will be nearly a year since viewers had a chance to bond with Detectives Charlie Crews and Dani Reese. That's a bit of a concern when it comes to this show. On the surface Life is a criminal procedural. However, underneath there has been an second story about Charlie's quest to clear his good name for a murder he didn't commit. While the first arc of this story was completed in its "season finale," there is plenty of story to tell.
HBO biker series to star Donal Logue
Can Life get a life on Friday night?
So, NBC introduced their earth-shattering year-round schedule this week to a lot of 'ho-hums' from critics and advertisers alike. Nothing really changed from the way they were programming the network for the last few years -- shows like 30 Rock, The Office and Heroes will air in September while others, like the coveted Office spin-off, will begin airing mid-season. Also, many shows will remain in the same time slots as they did in previous years.
Oh, there will be some changes. Lipstick Jungle, which most recently aired in ER's slot, will be moved to Wednesdays. In addition, Life, the surprise fan favorite of the first half of the season, will be moving out of its coveted 10:00 pm slot on Wednesdays to Friday night at the same time. The relocation of Life to the end of the week begs one question that needs to be asked to the programmers over at NBC....
What the FRAK are you thinking?
Starz first series will be Crash
The controversial film, which dealt with the intersecting lives of a myriad of people living in Los Angeles in just 48 hours, centers on the character of Detective Graham Waters. Waters, a police detective, is struggling with his career, his drug addict mother and a criminal brother. The role was played by Don Cheadle (Picket Fences), who was also one of the film's producers. He is expected to reprise the part in the Starz production and may even direct a few episodes. In addition, director/co-writer/producer Paul Haggis and others from the film are also on board for Starz.
NBC post-strike: some series return soon, Chuck, Life, Heroes return in the fall
The first release confirms what we had been guessing at since we got the news of the settlement: Chuck, Life and Heroes have all been picked up for 2008-09, but none of the shows will return until the fall. The second release discusses the return dates of several shows (list after the jump). It's not as helpful as CBS's release because it doesn't tell us how many episodes are left (so, for all we know, we'll see the Scrubs conclusion on DVD, as Bill Lawrence told Mike Ausiello). But at least we know when all of these shows are coming back -- April 10 seems to be the big day for fans of 30 Rock and The Office, for example.
Now we have FOX, CW, and ABC left. Think they're going to step up to the plate soon?
The Best and Worst of 2007: Rich's list - VIDEO
Here we are again. Another year has passed us by and what do we have to show for it? A little more gray hair, a little less money in our pockets (have you noticed how the price of, um, everything has gone up?), and a little more fear that the world in slowly unraveling. Normally, television is there to soothe our brows in these times. Alas, the current pissing match between the Studios and the Writers is stifling that ability to the point that we may all be having Chaucer parties by mid-year because there's nothing to watch on the tube.
Not sounding too bitter, am I?
Well, you're not here to read about doom and gloom (unless it's a review of 24). You're here to see what I, and many of my TV Squad colleagues, thought television's best and worst were for 2007. So, without further interruptions on how much I paid for my daughter's karate lessons (you DON'T want to know), here is my list of best and worst for the previous year.
All Joel wants for Festivus
(Full disclosure: I met both of them when I was out in LA last January. But asking for phone numbers would have been unprofessional of me. At least that's what I keep telling myself late at night.)
But, since I'm in a festive mood, here's my list of Festivus wishings for the rest of 2007 and beyond:
On the 4th day of Festivus, TV gave to me...
...Four TV shows you should be watching
Let's not beat around the bush -- television is a humongous, bloated wasteland. Granted, it's a humongous, bloated wasteland that I adore and worship any chance I get, but it is a humongous, bloated wasteland nonetheless. Due to the copious amount of crap that is placed on the airwaves many good shows are pushed aside, waiting for an unknowing viewer to tune into them and get hooked. Sometimes, these shows grab a few people, develop a following, and become a hit. Other times, they disappear down the television toilet, never to be seen again.
So, in order to save them from the Great Flush, here are four (plus a few more) shows that you should be watching.
Life: Fill it Up (Part 2)
(S01E11) Where to begin.
If Life was not picked up for a full season this episode would have probably been a fairly decent series finale. So much information was given to us, so many evidence holes were filled, that there was a feeling of closure. Not satisfaction, mind you, but closure. The information given out was so powerful this episode that I am only going to reveal it after the jump. So, if you have yet to watch Wednesday's installment of Life DO NOT GO BEYOND THIS POINT. If you do, don't be pissed off at me.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (AP) -- Some car owners in western Kentucky have received notices about past-due taxes even though the tabs have been paid.
Daviess County Clerk David "Oz" Osbourne says the notices were originating with the Kentucky Department of Revenue in Frankfort, but that no one in either office knows why people are being told their taxes are overdue.
So far, Osborne says, the notices have primarily gone to people who paid their taxes in late June to mid-July.
The glitch comes two weeks after people who paid boat taxes received similar notices about payments being overdue.
Osbourne says he doesn't know how many past-due notices were erroneously sent out.

Parent addresses CISD policy
Houston County Courier - June 2009
"I am asking the board tonight to direct the school administrators to follow board policy as written," Patty Like said in her remarks to Crockett Independent School District Board of Trustees Monday night, June 8.
Mrs. Like was permitted to address trustees after Vice President Deborah Kennedy read the board policy regarding public comments to the audience.
Mrs. Like said she was at the meeting to speak about the Honor Graduate Certificate, which is given each year to the highest-ranking graduate. One honor graduate certificate is presented to each high school each year and it pays recipient's first year tuition.
She said in CISD the policy outline the eligibility for valedictorian and salutatorian which includes the student is to be continuously enrolled in the district for two years prior to graduation, be enrolled in high school at the time of graduation and have the highest weighted GPA. She said her son's final transcript dated June 2 indicated his rank was number one at 4.26304.
Mrs. Kennedy, who conducted the meeting in the absence of President Lela Wheeler, attempted to stop Mrs. Like's comments more than once and at one point asked fellow trustees, "Should we go into executive session to consult with the attorney?"
Mrs. Like responded by saying the matter was not in litigation and she was allowed to continue her comments.
Mrs. Like said the CISD deputy superintendent had told her that her son deserved the certificate and she would have it by the end of the day. She added that at 4:40 p.m. the deputy superintendent called to tell her the boards attorney would contact her but she would not receive the certificate that day.
Mrs. Like concluded her comments by saying, "I don't know what purpose delaying this action will serve besides costing more money for both myself and the taxpayers of Crockett ISD."
During approval of the consent agenda, Trustee Roy Johnson asked for an explanation of the monthly invoice paid to CISD Attorney Wayne Haglund in the about of $20, 173.02.
Newly hired Business Manager Gail Hanson responded saying the invoice covered several things he has done for the district. Trustees told Johnson he would be given additional information during the scheduled board orientation for new members.
Johnson then questioned the water bill in the amount of $4,969.57 saying he would like someone to check the meter at the Early Childhood facility to make sure it was working properly since it was full of mud.
Assistant Superintendent Jeannie Julian presented the TAKS summary and said the information provided were the first results and the district should know in mid-July if they have any low performing campuses.
She said the kids were on track and the scores look good adding, "As soon as the reports come back we will let the board know."
Trustees approved the Texas Kids First, 2009-2010 Student Insurance Plan. Assistant Superintendent David Baxter said the same firm carried the coverage last year, which allows students to participate in sports.
Trustees tabled consideration of the Physicians Centre Sports Medicine Services Agreement in the amount of $17,500.
Bids for milk, bread and slushy products were awarded to Foremost, Flowers Baking, Co., and Tropical Frost.
Trustee James Berry voted against approval of extending the depository contract with First Community Bank for an additional two years.
Ms. Hanson told trustees that TEA required that the depository be in place by June 15 and there was not time to go out for bids.
Berry questioned the measure and referred to a previous incident that involved the bank said, "Since it was such a big mistake I would like the attorney to look at it (before approval)."
Ms. Hanson said she had met with the bank and the situation would not occur again in the future.
Trustees Berry and Karen Johnson voted against approval of the employment of the lawfirm Hardy and Atherton, of Tyler to respond to a public information request made by Patty Like on June 3. The measure passed 5-2.
Trustees voted to appoint Mrs. Kennedy and Ms. Wheeler as delegate and alternate to the TASA/TASB Convention to be held in Houston Oct. 2-4.
Trustees adjourned to executive session at 6:24 p.m.

EAST PROVIDENCE ŌĆö Bobby Leopold would have loved to compete in more amateur tourneys this spring, but just couldn't find the time.
On December 10, he and his wife, Taylor, became proud new parents of Grayson Robert, now a bouncing six-month-old boy, so ŌĆō naturally ŌĆō most of his days, and of course nights, are devoted to his baby and work.
That's why the 28-year-old former Cranstonian, who moved with Taylor to a bigger home in Coventry last July, was more than pleased after firing a one-over 70 at this, the second of the four-round 52nd annual Northeast Amateur Invitational at plush Wannamoisett Country Club on Thursday afternoon.
Coupled with his opening-round, three-under 66, Leopold found himself just four shots off the lead with a two-day aggregate of 136.
ŌĆ£I don't play that much with us having the baby, but I've been practicing a lot,ŌĆØ Leopold confessed following his three-birdie, four-bogey trek around the par-69 links. ŌĆ£I took a week and a half off after playing at the U.S. Open Sectionals (in Purchase, N.Y.). I actually played pretty well; I finished 23rd out of 80 guys, so I was happy with that.
ŌĆ£I like the position I'm in,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£If someone had told me beforehand I'd be four shots back and tied for fifth going into Day Three, I would've said, 'I'll take it. That's right where I want to be.'ŌĆØ
Leopold began his afternoon on the 10th hole and birdied before registering seven consecutive pars, but took a bogey five on the 456-yard 18th.
On the front, he suffered a bogey five on the lengthy 505-yard second hole, but rebounded with a birdie 3 at the 372-yard fifth. He followed that with bogeys on the par-four sixth and par-three eighth (the last due to a dismal three-putt).
He nevertheless finished strong, dropping a short putt on the 453-yard ninth for the bird that gave him back-to-back 35s.
ŌĆ£(One over) is good, and I said 'Good' because I hit the ball better than that (70),ŌĆØ mentioned Leopold, whose best finish in four previous Northeast events was a tie for 13th in 2010. ŌĆ£The wind was brutal and so were the pin placements. It seemed we (the guys who played Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon) had the tougher wave because of the wind.
ŌĆ£Making birdie on the last hole helped a lot,ŌĆØ he continued. ŌĆ£I thought I deserved better than par. Like I said, I like the position I'm in because I know I'm pretty good chasing.
ŌĆ£I'd love to win this tournament; it's so prestigious. My wife is from East Greenwich and went to Toll Gate (High in Warwick), and I've lived here for a quite a while, so I consider myself kind of a native Rhode Islander. I've won a lot of (R.I. Golf Association) events, and this I feel is an extension of that, though on a much bigger stage. I can sleep in my own bed at night, and I know my father-in-law (Scott Cooke) is there for me as my caddy. He's doing a great job.ŌĆØ
There was another New Englander who found himself in a three-way tie for the lead at six-under 132, and that was Cameron Wilson, who hails from Rowayton, Conn.
The Stanford University student manufactured his second straight three-under 66, and is knotted with first-day leader Rafael Becker of Brazil at 132. Becker issued a one-over 70 on Thursday after stunning the field with a remarkable seven-under 62 on Day One.
Cory Whitsett of Houston, not to mention the University of Alabama, added a one-under 68 to his 66 and sits alone in third place at 134, while Bo Andrews ŌĆō a student at Georgia Tech and Raleigh, N.C. resident ŌĆō mustered an even-par 69 after an initial 66 to grab fourth at 135.
Leopold and Patrick Rodgers of Avon, Ind., who bested the field on Thursday with a four-under 65, share fifth at 136. He's also Wilson's teammate with the Cardinal.
Two others are tied for seventh at 137.
Wilson, like Leopold, is aiming to become the fourth New Englander to claim the tournament title in the last three decades; he'd also love to gain the recognition of being the first lefty to win the red jacket.
And why not? He's already assembled quite a year for himself, finishing in a tie for second at the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters and seventh at The Prestige. He also snatched fifth at the U.S. Collegiate Championships and ninth at the PAC-12 Conference tourney.
ŌĆ£I feel pretty good about my game right now,ŌĆØ noted Wilson, who a couple of weeks ago took fifth at the Sunnehanna Amateur. ŌĆ£I hit the ball well, though had a couple of loose shots and made a couple of bogeys. I missed a few putts and made a few, so I thought I played similar to (Wednesday).
ŌĆ£Last year, I was playing well, and I thought I would continue to, but I became injured,ŌĆØ he added of lower-back pain. ŌĆ£I think being a New Englander helps you here. I've played a lot in this state, and I know more about the way it is around here; I've been at Metacomet and Ledgemont, and I know how to drive around here and where to eat. That helps.
ŌĆ£It's good to be in the mix, but there's a lot of golf yet to be played, so I don't want to be too happy.ŌĆØ
He birdied four holes, including the par-four 10th and 14th, the par-five 17th and the par-four first and seventh, though bogeyed the second and sixth, both par fours.
Wednesday's top gun, Becker, admitted he got off to a bad start en route to his 70.
ŌĆ£I just hit some bad iron shots,ŌĆØ he stated. ŌĆ£I fell in between yardages; I didn't have good reads on some of those half-yardage shots.ŌĆØ
He sustained bogeys on the the fourth, seventh and eighth holes before knocking down a lengthy birdie putt at No. 9, then gained some momentum on the back side, where he birdied the 196-yard, par-three 15th and the 558-yard, par-five 17th.
ŌĆ£Those were really important coming in,ŌĆØ Becker explained. ŌĆ£I gave myself a really good look on 18 (a 456-yard, mini-dogleg left); I had an eight-foot putt, but I didn't have the right read ŌĆ" Still, it was a good round. Every tournament you play, you're going to have one off day, and I hope this is the only day.
ŌĆ£Shooting 70 on this course isn't bad, but I really had it going (Wednesday),ŌĆØ he continued. ŌĆ£You're always a little surprised when you shoot seven-under, but I putted real well. You don't expect (a 62), but you're obviously very happy. The more you play here, you get more comfortable. Now I just have to keep my foot on the gas.ŌĆØ
Yet another Rhode Islander, former Cumberland High star and soon-to-be Old Dominion University junior Jamison Randall, fired a three-over 72. That, with his 70 Wednesday, left him deadlocked with seven others at 142 (27th).
Brad Valois of Warwick shot 73 and is one shot behind at 143 entering the third ŌĆō and ŌĆ£cutŌĆØ ŌĆō round today.
ŌĆ£I birdied the third, fourth and sixth, but bogeyed the second and eighth,ŌĆØ offered Randall, 20, who checked in with a front nine of 33. ŌĆ£I was just thinking at the turn, 'Keep it up! Keep doing what you're doing.' I was hitting my putts on the front, but I shorted myself on the drive on (No.) 10, then bogeyed it and the next three.
ŌĆ£On the (par-three, 211-yard) 12th, I almost holed out; it landed four inches from the cup on the fly, and rolled to the back of the green,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£It was a downhill putt, and I thought it might be fast, but I also wanted to give it a chance. It almost rolled off the green, and I three-putted.ŌĆØ
He followed with a bird on the 15th, but then doubled the 16th before birdieing the lone par-five 17th.
ŌĆ£I two-putted from 90 feet there, but three-putted from 12 feet on (No.) 12, go figure,ŌĆØ Randall smiled. ŌĆ£The last time I had a topsy-turvy round like that was at the Big I National Championship, a junior tournament a couple of years ago. I'd birdie two holes in a row, then double the next, then birdie another one before having another double. (Thursday) I was thinking, 'What's going on?' Still, with a 72, I'm still in the hunt. I'm in the mix; the way I'm hitting the ball right now, I'm excited.
ŌĆ£I'm striking it better than I have in months.ŌĆØ

Cropperware LLC is a company of Outside the Box, Co.,a business ideas company
specializing in matters relevant to home and family. Mary Petto, owner of the company,
works with other creative minds to develop ideas that make loving homes more efficient and
less stressful. The Outside the Box team develops a great marketing, product or service idea
and then puts it to work.
Before the Cropperware® Page in Progress® Box came to life, Outside the Box's most recent
creation was a unique interior decorating service that took off successfully right out of the gate.
Plans are in development to create licensing agreements so that even more customers can be served.
Mary Petto draws on a diverse collection of experiences to develop unique
business ideas and products. She began her interest in making the consumer's
world a better place while in college. Focusing on the art of communication,
her liberal arts education enabled her to concentrate on the big picture and
small picture simultaneously—a key ingredient to successful marketing.
After college, she worked as an editor, copywriter, and ultimately a marketing
director for Merrill Lynch and DLJ Securities. While successful at coming up
with creative ways to communicate to investors about the benefits of mutual funds, Ms.
Petto longed to reach out to the broader population about products more personal to them.
She left financial services behind, paid her dues at an advertising agency as an account executive and
began her own business as a small business marketing consultant. With the assistance of her partner
and husband, Paul Petto, it was here she was happiest. Developing business names, logos, PR
campaigns and literature for entrepreneurs ranging from computer networking firms to singers to
image consultants, she took on new clients as she discovered their businesses and worked hard to
help them along.
Social Media
Since January 2010, Mary has been operating a full-service social media consultancy for small
business, personalities, big brands, and nonprofits. Information on her practice can be found here:
Mary Petto's passion for assisting other enterprises was overshadowed by her passion for family
when she stopped full-time work to be a full-time mother, from 2000 - 2006. It was when she was
seven months pregnant with her first child that she discovered scrapbooking, and it was four weeks
after her first child was born that she discovered the need for a Page in Progress Box! Not able to
completely shed her business hat, Ms. Petto became a consultant with a direct-sales scrapbooking
company. Here she found a marketing researcher's dream: access to the minds, opinions and homes
of home-makers and their families throughout the greater New Jersey area. Her most important
finding: Scrapbookers will overstay their welcome at a crop if they don't have a way to keep their
scrapbook page in progress in place!
The Law of Attraction and Vision Boards
After reading the international bestseller, The Secret, Mary began putting the Law of Attraction to
work, and was met with success. By using the tools she learned about, she manifested many great
social media clients, a daily lifestyle that made her happy, and renewed relationships. Inspired to help
others with the application of visualization, she is in the process of introducing "LOAers" to her
patented P.i.P. Box as a means to create their Vision Boards.

Via [Migrations][migrations], I've found out about a really beautiful computational biology paper that very elegantly demonstrates how, contrary to the [assertions of bozos like Dembski][dembski-nfl], an evolutionary process can adapt to a fitness landscape. The paper was published in the PLOS journal "Computational Biology", and it titled ["Evolutionary Potential of a Duplicated Repressor-Operator Pair: Simulating Pathways Using Mutation Data"][plos].
Here's their synopsis of the paper:
>The evolution of a new trait critically depends on the existence of a path of
>viable intermediates. Generally speaking, fitness decreasing steps in this path
>hamper evolution, whereas fitness increasing steps accelerate it.
>Unfortunately, intermediates are hard to catch in action since they occur only
>transiently, which is why they have largely been neglected in evolutionary
>The novelty of this study is that intermediate phenotypes can be predicted
>using published measurements of Escherichia coli mutants. Using this approach,
>the evolution of a small genetic network is simulated by computer. Following
>the duplication of one of its components, a new protein-DNA interaction
>develops via the accumulation of point mutations and selection. The resulting
>paths reveal a high potential to obtain a new regulatory interaction, in which
>neutral drift plays an almost negligible role. This study provides a

And one more snippet, just to show where they're going, and to try to encourage you to make the effort to get through the paper. This isn't an easy read, but it's well worth the effort.

This is a gorgeous paper, and it shows how to do *good* math in the area of search-based modeling of evolution. Instead of the empty refrain of "it can't work", this paper presents a real model of a process, shows what it can do, and *makes predications* that can be empirically verified to match observations. This, folks, is how it *should* be done.

HSU dominates Texas College for first win of year
HSU dominates Texas College
The Hardin-Simmons football team broke into the win column Saturday and looked good doing it, piling up 571 yards of offense in a 57-21 home win over Texas College.
The Cowboys, now 1-2, scored touchdowns on eight of their first nine full possessions and limited the Steers (0-3) to three touchdowns — all on fourth down plays of 18 yards or longer.
"That's more like it," said HSU coach Jesse Burleson, whose team had been outscored 107-69 in its first two games. "That's exactly what we wanted to come out and do, establish (control) early and keep it going for four quarters. We did exactly what we planned on doing."
Things ran especially smoothly Saturday for the HSU offense, which put forth its best effort of the year. After being forced to punt on their first possession of the game, the Cowboys rattled off eight consecutive touchdown drives with the only interruption between them coming on a two-play mini-possession before time expired in the first half.
The first score came with 8:37 remaining in the opening quarter, when Tevin Mitchell capped a seven-play, 58-yard drive with a 4-yard run. And the next seven came on touchdown passes by transfer quarterback Logan Turner, who tied Brad Boyd's single-game TD record set in 1999.
"It's awesome," Turner said of his historic day. "There have been some great ones come through here and to have my name among some of those guys that have thrown the ball on this field, that's an awesome honor. But I couldn't have done it without the other 10 guys on the field. We played great at all spots today and my hat's off to them. It's as much their record as it is mine."
Turner's first four touchdown passes were all to the same receiver, 5-foot-9 sophomore Jimmie Simpson. The first hookup came on a 67-yard strike up the seam, and after Texas College scored from 24 yards out on fourth-and-20 to make the score 14-7 at the end of one quarter, Turner hit Simpson for second-quarter touchdowns of 24, 39 and 32 yards to extend HSU's lead to 35-7.
The spread remained 28 points until just before halftime, when Turner hit Stamford freshman Jessie Ramos from 41 yards out to stake the Cowboys to a 42-7 halftime lead.
"That's more what we've been shooting for around here," said Turner, who finished the game 19-of-32 for 420 yards and no interceptions. "We know that we've had the talent to do it, it's just taken us a little time to get going. I think today, it was clicking on all cylinders."
Things didn't go quite so well for the Steers, who were forced to punt five times and committed three turnovers. And their few bright spots on offense were immediately answered by HSU.
Down 35 points at halftime, Texas College put together a scoring drive on its opening series of the third quarter, moving the length of the field before scoring on Vincent McNeil's last of two touchdown passes to Jamaal Johnson. But that play, which came on fourth and goal from the 18, was followed by two more Turner touchdown passes — a 64-yard strike to Garret Avalos and a 6-yarder to Devin Carver.
The last of those made the score 55-14, which it stayed until the 7:47 mark of the fourth, when McNeil scampered 38 yards on fourth and 10 to cut the lead to 34 points.
But the HSU defense provided the day's final highlight, sacking McNeil in the end zone with 51 seconds remaining to cap a dominant effort and give the Cowboys some positive momentum heading into a bye week next week and the start of American Southwest play after that.
"We've got huge goals and they're still there for us grab them," said Simpson, who caught five passes for 172 yards. "We just had to get clicking and get some excitement going. That's good for us for these next weeks to come. It will get a little bit more fun now that we got a win in."

Dale Critz Jr. had millions riding on his bid for a presidential pardon. Scion of a prominent family in Savannah, Ga., Critz was poised to inherit the luxury car dealerships his grandfather had built in one of America's most historic cities.
But Critz's past blocked his way. Years earlier, while learning the ropes at an unrelated dealership in Florida, he took part in a scheme to falsify loan documents for low-income car buyers. He pleaded guilty in 1989 to a felony — a conviction that could have prevented him from owning the family business. Many automakers do not let felons run their franchises.

Several teams are interested in acquiring Smyth before the Feb. 27 trade deadline, but his no-movement clause allows him to dictate whether or not he'll be dealt, and to which team.
Smyth, 35, is in the final year of his contract and can become an unrestricted free agent July 1.
In 55 games with the Oilers so far this season, Smyth has registered 16 goals and 20 assists for 36 points, tying him with Sam Gagner for third on the team in scoring.
Meanwhile, the Sun also reports Andy Sutton's agent, Pat Morris, was in Ottawa Saturday to see if he could get a one-year contract extension done with the Oilers.
Sutton, 36, can also become a UFA this summer. He's already being dangled as trade bait and could be dealt by the deadline if a new contract isn't reached.

Dry Rub Barbeque Trout
Made this up after buying a nice piece of locally caught freshwater trout. I think that it would be even better if you were to hot-smoke it. Apply the rub between two and twelve hours before cooking.
Mix up the following then rub on to the flesh of the fish (enough for four servings):
- 1 tbsp sea/rock salt.
- 1 tbsp black peppercorns crushed.
- 1 tbsp ground cumin.
- 1 tbsp ground coriander.
- 2 tsp caraway seed.
- 2 tsp dried tarragon.
- 2 tsp dried thyme.
- 2 tsp chilli powder.
- Zest of one lemon.
To drizzle on top when cooked melt some butter in a pan, add the juice of the lemon you used above, a pinch of salt, one crushed clove of garlic, and a handful of chopped coriander. Simmer for a couple of minutes.
Rubs are best when you do each ingredient on its own, and really work each ingredient into the meat. It's much more work, but if you've got time it's worth it.

If you are aged between 14 and 25, Gay and Lesbian Youth NI (GLYNI) will have something to offer! Our flagship group is based in Belfast City Centre where we provide an open social space to meet other young people who are LGBT or Q. The group has always adopted a peer led ethos and is run by the members, for the members. Volunteer leaders who are GLYNI members receive specialist training and play an active and important part of creating a safe, energetic, fun and innovative environment for all its members, where young people can be themselves, relax, meet new people who may have shared experiences and be able to offer the support and friendship that we all need sometimes; no matter what your sexual orientation or gender identity. Most importantly we want to offer a space in which young people who are LGBTQ can have fun, laugh, be themselves, embrace their uniqueness and live life to the full!
GLYNI is here to support all of our members and volunteers and we do this by offering opportunities to take part in social events run either in the LGBT Centre in Belfast or by local GLYNI groups and organisations across Northern Ireland, residential projects, activities and opportunities to travel internationally to represent Gay and Lesbian Youth NI and Cara-Friend as a pioneer in supporting young LGBTQ people all across Northern Ireland. We pride ourselves on giving as many opportunities and skills as we can to our young people; we want to see them succeed and thrive and take their place in society as proud and happy individuals who have unique talents and experiences to offer and share. At GLYNI we offer drop-in social sessions and also activities and workshops every week with the opportunity to take part in accredited training and gain skills and qualifications. What we decide to offer is always decided by the members of the group; we are here to facilitate the needs of our young people and give them the support they want or need to be able to reach their goals and full potential as important members of: families, friendship groups, communities, schools, colleges, universities, workplaces, churches, clubs, sports teams, and most importantly to have respect and pride in themselves!
We take great pride in groups and we encourage our members' to progress to become volunteer leaders and show the impact becoming part of GLYNI has had on them, by giving back to our new members and allowing the group to continue to carry on what it does so well. GLYNI groups exist all over Northern Ireland and it is important to us that we are able to offer the same support and opportunities to all young LGBTQ, no matter where they are from. We would love to see our groups grow and also become an important part of their communities, welcoming diversity and the opportunity to make a difference.
There is nothing better than being free to be yourself, share time and experiences with friends, have a shoulder to cry on or to laugh hysterically on, be made to feel that you are someone who matters, someone who is important and has something to be proud of and a person who someone or many people are proud of; to be able to take a stand and know that you are not standing alone and most importantly to walk away at the end of the night smiling…and mean it!
Welcome to GLYNI, this is what we do!

Abilene Smalltalk is held at 5:30 p.m. the last Tuesday of every month at The Center for Contemporary Arts, 220 Cypress St.
For more information and to RSVP for the gathering, visit the group's website: www.abilenesmalltalk.com.
Email inquiries to email@example.com.
Doug Jeter, of Abilene, works a 40-hour a week job and sometimes racks up a little overtime here and there when required.
The hustle and bustle of his everyday professional life, however, doesn't keep him from dreaming that one day he will be his own boss and run his own business.
Taking a sip from a bottle of water Tuesday, Jeter said he plans to open a barbecue catering business and is researching how to go about starting one.
"I love to cook," he said. "I enter competitions, I've eaten a lot of it, worked on it a lot and I put a lot of time on it."
His research brought him to the Center for Contemporary Arts building in downtown Abilene on Tuesday afternoon, where about 20 other prospective and current business owners gathered to mingle, hear information about the business world and establish contacts.
And Jeter is just one of the reasons three local men initiated Abilene Smalltalk, a support and informational group that started gathering at the CCA in January. The creators of the group intends to further entrepreneurship in Abilene and the Big Country and encourage those who may have been pondering whether to start a business. The plan is to meet the last Tuesday of every month.
Three talks — 30 minutes — and infinite possibilities.
The simplicity of each meeting's format seems to be a strong point that attracts young and old alike to Abilene Smalltalk sessions.
Robert Blasingame, one of the founders, attributes the inception of the group to Topher Fangio, a co-founder.
The third member of the trifecta is Chad Hutchins, a software developer.
"Topher is actually the brains behind this thing," said Blasingame, owner of Web development company, Drive Simplicity. "Chad and I both have a deep passion for entrepreneurship and helping others get businesses started."
Fangio, 27, also a software developer, is the kind of guy who wants to start a business, Blasingame said, but like many others, doesn't know where to start.
"What if we start a program, because I'm sure there are others like me," Blasingame recalled Fangio telling him and Hutchins.
So, Abilene Smalltalk came to be. The format is informal as it can get.
Three speakers are invited to talk about anything that has to do with starting a business and maintaining one, and fulfilling that American dream of working for oneself.
It attracts new business people, as well as seasoned ones.
At CCA on Tuesday, attendees enjoyed appetizers and drinks while they networked. No one was a stranger, as the trio worked the room and started a series of casual conversations.
Matt Mercer of Mercer Law Office spoke about the legal aspect of starting a business, how to limit liability and general business law.
Everyone in the room paid close attention because Mercer spoke as if he were consulting with a client one-on-one.
"It takes passion to be successful in whatever you do," was the advice of Steve Templeton, who also spoke at Tuesday's gathering.
Templeton knows a thing or two about being a businessman. The Abilene resident perhaps has done everything under the sun, including a stint with the Marines, a head hunter, a supervisor for a Fortune 500 company, and owning a burglar alarm business and a heavy equipment company.
"We keep it small, short, and keep it interesting," Blasingame said. "The desire is to give (the attendees) a little appetizer and encourage discussion and networking. We hope everyone who attends benefits from this."
Blasingame said one attendee from the January gathering has began legwork to start a business, including meeting with an attorney.
"It's not only for young people but across the board," Hutchins said. "Whether they want to start a brick-and-mortar business or a tech company, this is open for all ages. We have college students here, experienced guys and retired guys."
In fact, several people who attended the January gathering, and some last Tuesday, are interested in starting lawn care maintenance and landscaping businesses.
"There was even a girl who wanted to start a crochet business," Blasingame said. "We have tech guys, radio guys, basically pretty much everyone."
Jeter, the barbecue man, said the information he heard and the connections he made during the Tuesday's event will be of good use when he gets started.
"Now I'd like to turn my drive, my desire into something that's lucrative and also something that I enjoy doing," Jeter said. "(The legal information) really is important for someone like me who doesn't have a business background."
Christopher Priest, another attendee, is a new businessman: He owns and operates Priest Lawn Care.
"I think the biggest challenge for people who want to get a business going is getting to know what questions to ask," Priest said. "So getting together with other people in the know can help."
Before his lawn care gig, Priest, a former retail employee, said he put some, but not much, thought into running his own business.
"It wasn't until me and my wife became pregnant and we realized that, long term, my job wasn't going to help us meet our goals as a family," he said.
Priest's wife helps out in the business, but her main job is to care for their young son. For now, Priest is busy setting up jobs for the spring and summer.
Hutchins saw what it takes for a city to be business-friendly. He spent some time in Boulder, Colo., a city he described as poised to be the next Silicon Valley.
"We'd love to see Abilene — it's not going to become Boulder — to be able to be a startup hub; to be able to be friendly to entrepreneurship, because that would benefit everybody in the community," Hutchins said. "The things we're trying to put in place here sort of follow (Boulder's) pattern and what they're doing."
"Ten years from now, if it's my choice and if I can help mold it, I see a lot of entrepreneurs with great mentors, helping them grow businesses and Abilene will be having both brick-and-mortar stores that are local and international companies," Blasingame said.
Fangio added that Abilene's potential is high: The city boasts great schools and a large pool of skilled and talented labor force.
"It's just ripe for a business to be started here," Fangio said.
Blasingame, Hutchins and Fangio want to use their talents and zeal to make sure the foundation is set for a better Abilene for future generations.
"We want to create that type of environment, an environment of entrepreneurship," Hutchins said. "If we do, people will want to be here because of that."

The Blessing of God's Spiritual Influence
In the beginning of Isaiah 55 God invites His people to come to Him and fellowship with Him. In verses 3 and 6 God says,
"Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live…. Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near."
In verses 10-11, we are told what happens to those who respond to this invitation, to God's call to come and seek Him and listen to Him,
"For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."
In the same way rain brings blessing when it waters the earth (causing it to bring a bountiful harvest and fruitfulness into the lives of the people), so God's spiritual influence brings refreshment and fruitfulness to our lives.
What is God's spiritual influence? It is the impact of His Word and His Spirit upon the hearts of His children.
When you come to God, when you respond to His call to seek Him and incline your ear, He will speak to you. And the effect His Word has when He speaks it into your life, into your heart, is the same effect that rain has on the earth.
His Word, as it penetrates your heart, will bring refreshment, enlightenment, and ultimately, fruitfulness. It will bring revival into your heart causing spiritual growth and progress.

Video: Falls Hotel Issue
Video: Federal Lawmakers Push For Niagara Falls Hotel Plan
NIAGARA FALLS - The local politicians in Niagara Falls have refused to vote so far on a hotel development project estimated to bring millions of dollars in revenue to the downtown area.
So the big boys are stepping in.
"It makes no sense," Sen. Charles Schumer said on Thursday, reached via satellite from his office in Washington. "I will be urging all parties to allow this to happen."
So will Congressman Brian Higgins.
"It's absolutely essential to the revitalization of downtown," Higgins said.
Except Schumer and Higgins, for all their power as members of U.S. Congress, don't have any direct control over this situation. The council majority in Niagara Falls, led by chairperson Glenn Choolokia, have changed their mind in recent weeks on a $25 million development project by Mark Hamister. After originally agreeing to sell Hamister a plot of land for $100,000 in exchange for an area to build his hotel, Choolokia and two other council members now claim they've learned the land is worth much more-- and they've voted to table the project because they want to sell the plot for a higher price.
They say the land is worth up to $2 million, even though 2 On Your Side's Dave McKinley reports the assessor's office lists it as less than $250,000. It is currently a parking lot, and the city received the land as a gift.
"I do not renegotiate deals," Hamister said.
Hamister said he doesn't think the land is worth $2 million, but he also says that's not the point.
"If they want even three or four hundred thousand dollars for the land, I am history," Hamister said. "I will withdraw. That is not the deal I proposed, and most importantly, that is not the deal I negotiated in good faith."
The council won't meet again until after the summer, leaving Schumer and Higgins time to wield their influence in Niagara Falls if they so choose. Schumer said he would work with Mayor Paul Dyster to move the project forward, and Higgins said he'd reach out to council members and Hamister.
"We have to get over whatever obstacles are out there," Higgins said. "There hasn't been a developer in a long time."
Both legislators cited this situation as another example in Niagara Falls' history of disfunction. Infamous for its regressing economy of the past several decades, Schumer called the hotel plan a potential "shot in the arm" for the city.
"In Niagara Falls, everybody has always had a reason to say, 'no.' What about a reason to say 'yes'?" Schumer said. "If it creates jobs and moves forward the development of downtown Niagara Falls, we oughta move forward."
The three Niagara Falls City Council members who voted to table the hotel land deal are not talking.
Channel 2 called Glenn Choolokian's cell and office numbers and left voicemails and never heard back. We also called Sam Fruscione's cell, left a voicemail and never heard back. And, while we got a hold of Robert Anderson on the phone, he told us he was caring for his mother and couldn't speak with us.
Since they wouldn't talk with us, we asked State Senator George Maziarz if he has talked with them since Wednesday night's vote, and he has not.
"Do you think that the council is making a mistake by tabling the vote?"
"I think there could've been much better communication when we were at the 10 yard line. I don't know why in Niagara Falls it always seems to me that all of the questions are asked when we get to the 99 yard line," says Maziarz.
But, Maziarz has spoken with Mayor Dyster.
"I thought it was very positive. I thought quite frankly everybody wants to see this thing get done. Everyone has questions and concerns. I think the city officials, all the city officials, could have handled it much better at the beginning of the process. I think in the end, Mr. Hamister is very interested in the City of Niagara Falls," says Maziarz.
"Do you fear he could take his business elsewhere?" asked Channel 2's Kelly Dudzik.
"I fear that very much. Now again my conversations with him today I would describe as being very positive and I do intend on reaching out to the city officials and try to bridge the gap if you will whatever. Just try to get everyone on the same page," says Maziarz.
"They have the month of August off. Do you think that clearer heads will prevail when everyone comes back and meets after the summer?" asked Dudzik.
"I do. I am very confident that clearer heads are going to prevail, and we will get this project done," asked Dudzik.

Transocean Ltd. on Nov. 1 filed a motion for summary judgment requesting the US District Court in New Orleans compel BP PLC to hold Transocean harmless for damages associated with the 2010 Macondo well blowout and resulting massive oil spill off Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico.
An explosion and fire on the Deepwater Horizon semisubmersible, owned by Transocean, killed 11 people, and the semi later sank. In the Deepwater Horizon drilling contract, BP agreed to release Transocean from fines, penalties, and damages associated with pollution from the well, Transocean said.
"BP cannot avoid its contractual promise by alleging that Transocean breached the drilling contract or that the Deepwater Horizon was unseaworthy," Transocean said. "BP cannot avoid its contractual promise by alleging that Transocean or its employees were grossly negligent."
Many lawsuits remain pending regarding the well blowout and the spill (OGJ Online, June 22, 2011).

I got a coupon from the CVS coupon machine that says $2 off any $5 feminine hygiene or sanitary protection can this coupon be stacked with the Kotex deal?
I would think so. Yippee! I just need to remember to head to the red machine. :)
I used this coupon at Walgreens. They have 18 count box of U Kotex on sale for 5.49. Then its buy one get one 50% off. So I was able to get 2 boxes at 5.49+2.74, then minus (2) $2 coupons. So just 4.23 for 2 boxes or 2.12 each.

An introduction to thinking like a probabilist about biology
Louis Gross (June 18, 2012)
Please install the Flash Plugin
This set of lectures and discussions will provide a quick one-day conceptual overview of stochastic issues in biology. Time permitting, I will point out the major conceptual approaches to stochasticity as typically applied in biology (random walks, Markov chains, birth and death processes, branching processes, agent-based models, stochastic DEs, diffusion processes, statistical modeling, Bayesian methods) and make the connection between these and deterministic analogs.
The learning objectives for this day are:
-Assist attendees in developing some intuition concerning how to think about biology from the perspective of probability distributions;
-Encourage attendees to realize that there are diverse methods and models that can be applied across many fields of biology that have similar mathematical underpinnings, and these may be related to simpler deterministic models; and
-Provide attendees with some hands-on experience with analysis of a stochastic process using simple computer tools.

The first Saturday in May is traditionally Free Comic Book Day. Comics publishers produce special issues of their series for stores to give away for free. The idea is to get comics into the hands of people who wouldn't normally pick up a comic book. Free Comic Book Day has become something of an Event - a lot of comics creators will make appearances at their local comic shops, and a lot of people show up in cosplay.
This year, DC Comics has chosen "Future's End" #0 as one of their FCBD offerings. "Future's End" #0 is the kickoff of their big crossover event for this year.
Dayna Abel, host of the Made of Fail podcast, is deeply, justifiably, gloriously Unimpressed with DC about Future's End, and its selection as DC's FCBD offering.
Go read her editorial. It's awesome. It's built entirely of savage truths that need trumpeting in DC's ear.
My two cents: this fiasco is emblematic of DC's strange and fascinating role in comics history.
DC has long been known as the company of idealism, of optimism. Its stars are traditionally paragons of heroism and morality. DC is naturally contrasted with its biggest competitor, Marvel.
For most of its history, DC, as a whole, has been emblemized by Superman. Superman, with his reputation as the Big Blue Boy Scout, as an uncomplicated paragon. Marvel, by contrast, is traditionally emblemized by Spider-Man. Superman is a successful adult with a steady job, and a mostly-uncomplicated civilian life. Spider-Man is a teenager from a poor family who grew up in a bad neighbourhood, who's riddled with angst, and who struggles as much with his civilian life as he does with costumed supervillains. Spider-Man sometimes struggles to do the right thing, to know what the right thing was; Superman rarely does. (These are all gross oversimplifications of course, but I believe they illustrate the contrast between the two companies fairly.)
In the 1970s, we started to see the first hints of change at DC. DC started experimenting with "grittier" lines of comics. Not the sort of masturbatory GRIMDARK we see now, but they did start to bring their heroes down from the heavens to deal with more street-level problems. Probably most famously, there was a run of "Green Lantern", where the Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) was paired Green Arrow. That series focused heavily on social justice issues. That was the sort of storytelling that would be an obvious fit for Marvel, but which was something of an innovation for DC.
Then, in the 1980s, Everything Changed.
In rapid succession, the comics scene was hit with "The Dark Knight Returns" (1985), "Crisis on Infinite Earths" ('85-'86), and "Watchmen" ('86-'87). All three were published by DC.
"Watchmen" was a thoughtful deconstruction of standard superhero tropes - a cynical meditation that laughed fairly directly at the idea of superheroics. "The Dark Knight Returns" was a raw, vicious, dark interpretation of Batman, at a time when Batman was still labouring under the shadow of Adam West. "Crisis on Infinite Earths" was a giant status-quo-shaking marketing-friendly event.
The comics industry took two lessons from these three titles: "dark and violent sells better than bright and heroic", and "huge crossover events sell better than anything". And so everybody lost their damn minds.
Over the course of the next decade we had the death of Robin (DC '88-'89); the release of Tim Burton's two Batman movies (DC '89 and '92), the introduction of Cable (Marvel '90), a mutant whose primary power seems to have been "lots of guns"; the death of Superman (DC '92), the villain Venom getting his own series (Marvel '93), Batman being paralyzed and then replaced by a violent psychopath (DC '93), Spawn and the rise of Image Comics (Image '93), and the premiere of Warren Ellis's "superheroes who kill" super-team series "The Authority" (DC '99). We had crossover event after crossover event after crossover event after crossover event - crossovers that disrupted individual series' storylines, and dragged them into whatever morass their publisher had dreamed up that they could advertise with a cover banner this year, culminating in DC's "Flashpoint" ('11), which led to the reboot of DC's entire line, under the marketing banner "The New 52".
The whole period of violent insanity since the mid '80s became known as the Dark Age, which is arguably ongoing even now. DC started it, and DC has clung desperately to it.
At the same time, DC was at the forefront of the Reconstruction movement. The Reconstruction movement was and is an ethos of comics creation that says "Great, we've taken these heroes apart to see how they work. Now let's remember what we liked about superheroes in the first place, and then build them back up, using what we've learned to make them better." Famous works of this wave include "Kingdom Come" (DC '96), which very directly addresses the state that our superhero mythoi had reached, and "DC: The New Frontier" (DC '06), which gleefully and boldly ignores Dark Age tropes, and celebrates the Golden Age ethos of idealism. Other notable Reconstruction comics that come to mind are "Astro City" (Image '95-'98) and "Tom Strong" (ABC '99).
(This whole arc is interestingly played out across the history of the classic DCAU, but that's another essay.)
So DC's been instrumental in both the darkening and the reaction to it.
It's starting to look like the Reconstruction movement is losing badly, at least at DC. There's still a puerile obsession with GRIMDARK, and a lack of confidence in the ability of laudable, admirable heroes to drive stories and sell comics.
Which brings us to "Future's End", DC's ultra-violent grimdark mega-crossover for this year. DC has chosen to offer "Future's End" #0 as a Free Comic Book Day giveaway. This is the choice they've made to draw new readers in.
DC clearly believes that clinging to the Dark Age is the way forward for them.
[Edit: I initially had Dayna Abel listed as "founder of the Made of Fail network". Ms. Abel herself tells me that Kevin O'Shea was the founder.]

I have always, once joined to the domain, logged in to that domain with simply the username and password. In a new office I recently started working at they are logging into the domain using firstname.lastname@example.com after typing the @ sign the select domain drop down changes to greyed out and displays "Computername - this computer" as the domain to login to.
So heres my question, is there anything different with logging in that way versus the normal way? as far as policys, local computer settings, and probably most important is profile creation.
This seems like a very sloppy login method and havent been able to find any information reguarding it, any help would be great
you can do it either way
The login names your more familiar with are netbios names. The user id that looks like an email address is a UPN (User Principal Name) and is used commonly in environements that have multiple domains within a forest. If a user is a member of one domain let's say 123.xyz.com wants to login to another domain in the forest like sales.123.xyz.com then they could use the UPN name.
The grass may not be greener on the other side but it sure does have less weeds.

Your best group Halloween costume
They went to extremely creative lengths to make this costume happen: 'Jeremy and I were set on the idea of being attached the whole evening via a chain link. We didn't want to use a real metal chain for obvious reasons so we did some searching online and came across a website that sold chain links in every size and color one could imagine.' They chose a hollow chain, cut it, tied each end of the chain to thin, plastic hairbands and finished it off with metallic looking headbands.
'We had the best costume all evening (if I do say so myself),' JaseMe516 says. 'We received non stop compliments from random people on the streets and from friends at house parties [...].'

Because of his desire to marry a twice-divorced American, Wallis Warfield Simpson—of whom the royal family and the British government did not approve—the king was forced to issue an instrument of abdication on 10 December 1936 in favor of his brother Albert, who then became king as George VI. Edward formally abdicated on 11 December 1936. Subsequently titled His Royal Highness the Duke of Windsor, he married Simpson on 3 June 1937. In October 1937, the Windsors visited Germany, and the duke met with several top Nazis, including Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring, and was said to have admired improved housing and social conditions under Nazi rule. The Nazis attempted to involve him in many schemes, including promises to restore his crown. During World War II, there were rumors that the Nazis threatened to kidnap the duke.
Until 1940, the Windsors traveled throughout Europe, primarily residing in France, where the duke served as a British liaison officer. Forced to flee France on that nation's defeat in June 1940, the duke then became governor of the Bahamas, serving in that post until 1945.
The duke of Windsor's later years were spent traveling between France, where he lived, and the United States. He published three books, notably his memoirs, A King's Story. He died on 28 May 1972 in Paris and is buried in the royal burial ground at Frogmore, near Windsor Castle. The Duchess died on 24 April 1986 and is buried next to him. Wendy A. Maier

Blip Support
posted this on June 1, 2012, 5:30 PM
Pro accounts give you more features than the basic free Blip account. These extra features are aimed at serious show creators, and give you more transcode formats, faster transcodes, and other tools to make your life easier.
What features are included?
Currently, Pro accounts offer the following features:
HD Quality
Upload any video with a resolution of 720P or more and we'll automatically create a high quality HD conversion alongside our normal SD conversions. Your viewers will have the choice to watch your show in HD via a button that will automatically appear in your player.
Priority transcode access
When you upload a video, it will be added to a queue to be transcoded to H.264 for web playback. Having a Pro account lets you jump to the head of the queue, so the H.264 version of your video will be ready more quickly.
Hidden videos
Sometimes you don't want the whole world to see your videos. As a Pro account user, you can mark your videos as 'hidden'. Hidden videos don't show up in Blip's indexes and searches, or in any RSS feeds but are still available to be embedded off-site.
Timed publishing
Sometimes you may want to release a video at a fixed time. Our timed publishing feature makes that easy: upload your video whenever you like and mark it as hidden. Then set a time at which it should become visible to everyone using the timed publishing feature. If you want, you can pre-program an entire season's entertainment and then go lie on a beach somewhere.
How much does it cost?
Pro accounts cost $8 per month. If you buy a 1-year subscription, you get two extra months for free, so you get 14 months of Pro service for $96.
You can pay for your Pro account through PayPal.
Can I pay with my credit card?
We accept credit card payments through the PayPal payment service.
Can I upload commercial content to a Pro account?
Pro accounts are governed by the same terms of service as our basic accounts. Our terms of service prohibit certain types of content, including content that promotes products or services, pornography, copyrighted content and illegal content of all kinds.
How do I cancel my Pro account?
If you decide that you don't need the pro account features any more, you can cancel the account at any time. The account will revert to an ordinary Blip account.
If you have a monthly subscription, you can cancel your account by going to Paypal and finding the entry for your subscription in your transaction history. Just cancel the subscription there and your account will terminate automatically at the start of the next billing cycle.
If you pre-paid for a year and you want to cancel your account before the year is up, please contact support for assistance.

People may not agree with his views, but having seen a couple of documentaries on Tony Benn I'd have to say he was probably the last real politician Britain had. Now we just have people driven by the cult of personality who don't understand they are elected to represent us, not to rule us.
As for Ken Livingstone? He's a poisonous little twerp who was probably bullied at school and is now compensating for it.

|Attitudes toward Electoral Accountability: A Data-Driven Learning Guide
Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research
|Pub. Date
Accountability is a foundation of democratic principles. Elected representatives are held accountable to their constituents through the electoral process; legislators who do not appear to represent the best interests of their constituents may find it difficult to be re-elected. Citizens who believe that representatives can be held accountable through elections may be more likely to participate in the political process.
The goal of this module is to explore attitudes about government accountability and their relationship to political participation in the U.S. Crosstabulation will be used.
