As ferocious as this awesome clouded leopard appears, expressions frozen in time can be real deceptive. As it happens, though Lai Tai is definitely one of the more grumpy cats at Khao Kheow Open Zoo (Chonburi Province, Thailand), in this frame you see the downside of his yawn.
Though their numbers in the wild have been greatly reduced, clouded leopard populations range from the Himalayan foothills though mainland Southeast Asia and into China. Aside from its beautiful coat, this medium-sized cat has other distinguishing features, such as: short, stout legs; board paws; and a tail that can measure two-thirds the length of its body, all of which combined enables this amazingly agile feline to swiftly chase its prey on the ground through vegetation on the forest floor, as well as to climb both up and down trees, leap impressive distances, and run along branches with the greatest of ease.
And then there are those magnificent teeth! Although the clouded leopard is approximately ten times smaller than a tiger, their fangs are about equal length, which makes the canine teeth of clouded leopards the longest of all living felines. For many years this anatomical anomaly was seen as an evolutionary link between clouded leopards and the long since extinct sabre-tooth cats, however, more in-depth analysis has provided evidence showing that sabre-tooth cats are not in fact even distantly related to any wild cat in existence today, even though that evidently share similar physical and behavioural traits.

Reviews for Show Chrome Solo Rack - 63-207
Solo Rack
August 29, 2013
Rack looks great and fit is good once you can get the blots to line up right. The holes for the rear mount need to be at least 1/16 to 1/8 inch bigger. It may have been just my bike but took half hour just to get both bolts to line up and not want to cross thread. Other then that issue is a great product.I would recommend this item to a friend.

On Tuesday, the chief prosecutor in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial requested that the sprint runner receive a psychiatric evaluation.
According to the Associated Press, prosecutor Gerrie Nel has requested that Pistorius be placed under psychiatric evaluation at a government facility.
After his request, Judge Thokozile Masipa adjourned court and said she would rule on whether or not to order that the athlete undergo an evaluation by Wednesday.
As The Independent noted, Nel's request comes after the defense had psychiatrist Dr. Merryll Vorster testify that Pistorius suffers from anxiety, which could have led to his actions on Valentine's Day 2013.
On Monday, Vorster argued that the Paralympian's actions the day he fatally shot his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, should be "seen in the context of his anxiety."
Pistorius is accused of intentionally killing the model after the two had an argument. However, he contends that he only shot Steenkamp after mistaking her for an intruder. He has plead not guilty to murder.
Should he be ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, the trial could be delayed for several weeks.

single point internal buttress threading
When cutting an internal buttress thread on a manual lathe, how do you set your compound? I want to make a drawbar and nut for a 20 mm buttress collet.

It's been a long time....I'm assuming a RH thread....I set the compound to just scrape the 7 degree flank and do most of the actual cutting on the 45 degree side of the thread. So, for an internal thread I set the compound over about 7 degrees to the left. It's a fragile tool; so take light cuts and take your time.
Make the male thread first if don't already have it and use it for a gauge.

I have alway's set the compound at 45.Then take your flat,5,7 and add the 45. Then grind your tool 1 degree less than the sum of the angles. Then set the flat ,5,7 to it's proper location.Set # thread's per inch.Note the tool will only cut on the advancing face as it goes down the 45.That's the way I do it.
Put a flat on the tool to match the flat on the male thread.

Markus - take a good look at the thread. It would help if you can come up with the manufacturer of the machine or the collets. See if you can find a DIN number.
Most used are DIN 513 . Here are the specs:http://www.gewinde-normen.de/en/butt...se-thread.html
This would have a 30 deg. and a 3 deg. angle.
Here is DIN 513 fine thread:http://www.gewinde-normen.de/en/butt...ne-thread.html
Some use a Acme thread DIN 6341
You find it here:http://www.gewinde-normen.de/en/trap...ne-thread.html

Johnny Depp the teenage years. When Johnny was fifteen his parents divorced and he was given the job of picking up the child support payment from his father each week, this created a divide between Depp and his father. By sixteen Johnny was high school dropout and the member of a garage band called The Kids. The Kids became successful enough to be the opening act for The Talking Heads and B-52s, yet they barley made ends meet.
Johnny Depp gets his big break. In 1983 at twenty years of age, Depp met and married an older woman, makeup artist Lori Allison. She was five years his senior. The couple and The Kids band moved to LA to make it big. They didn't take the music scene by storm as soon as they arrived, so they had to "push" pens for a telemarketing service to support themselves. Lori introduced Johnny to her former boyfriend Nicolas Cage, Cage, seeing potential in Depp got him a meeting with a agent. After many small roles as an extra, Johnny got his first legit role in the 1984 horror movie "Nightmare on Elm Street." By 1985 Depp's marriage and band had broken up.
Johnny Depp "The Star" is born. Depp dove into acting classes at the Loft Studio in Los Angeles, and after that with a private coach. The classes paid off in 1987 when Depp replaced actor Jeff Yagher as undercover cop Tommy Hanson (or in Johnny's case Handsome) on the TV series "21 Jump Street." The show made Depp an instant star/heartthrob and household name.

Cookies off with a bang
Rasbert Turner, Portmore Star Writer
Scores of patrons flocked the newly opened Cookies Daytime Go Go Club along the Port Henderson Road hip strip more popularly known as Back Road.
The club, which is an extension of the already established nocturnal sister club got good reviews.
"I think that it gives patrons a chance to take lunchtime and enjoy themselves in an atmosphere like this," a patron said.
"Whether it's dancing or playing dominoes, it's always better in the day, so I really appreciate the approach," another said.
When THE PORTMORE STAR visited the venue, many patrons indicated that they were impressed with the layout. It was air-conditioned with a well-stocked bar and a VIP area for those who want to be exclusively catered to.
A number of persons said that they hoped it would be supported.
"We think it will work out very well for those who want alternative entertainment along the strip," Jay, the manager, said.

Jeff Carroll forwarded me an interesting article from Forbes about the alarming dearth of college graduates who possess "soft skills." As our educational system has increasingly focused on "hard skills" — technical skills and knowledge of a specific subject matter — students have been denied curricula that develop "soft skills" — the ability to think critically and creatively and effectively communicate through writing, in addition to "[s]kills like problem solving, leadership, teamwork, empathy, and social/emotional intelligence." As one expert notes, "While good grades don't hurt and specialized skill sets are required for many jobs, there are some hiring attributes that make prospective employees more desirable to employers all over the world: leadership, personal and intellectual humility, the ability to attribute some purpose to your work, and the ability to take ownership of the task at hand."
My last post emphasized reading as one way to cultivate the ability to "think outside of the box" (a soft skill), and becoming an avid reader is an important step toward personal and professional growth. But there is something else you should realize: As a student in the LMAS program, you are afforded the opportunity to develop soft skills through the workshops you attend. In fact, each and every one of the workshops focuses on one or more of the soft skills so highly valued by employers — and the common thread through them all is leadership. A leader is someone who has mastered both hard and soft skills. He/she has knowledge of the technical aspects of the profession, as well as the awareness and skill necessary to expand and maximize the application of that knowledge in the real world.
When you leave here with an MAS, Leadership, you will be a master of accounting science and leadership. Your very degree will reflect that you have acquired both hard and soft skills, and prospective employers will take note.
So the next time Jeff asks the group, "Are you a vacationer, a prisoner, or a sponge?" think long and hard about your answer before you groan, "prisoner." That workshop is giving you an edge over the competition. Be a sponge — participate, take notes, drink it up. Be a leader.

Michael Pachter, the analyst who is watching the video game industry for Wedbush Securities, believes that the new Wii U home console from Nintendo will fail to perform well in the future, mainly because it won't get the necessary support from third-party game developers.
Speaking at the Digital Game Monetization Summit in San Francisco, the analyst, quoted by GamesIndustry.biz, said that, "I think you're going to see now with the Wii U, notwithstanding its early launch support, nobody's going to support it."
He added, "I don't think we're going to see every game on the Wii U next year. I think when next-gen consoles come out they're going to be better than the Wii U. Call of Duty is amazing on the Wii U this year. The problem with playing Call of Duty online is it's a community and if there's only four people playing it on the Wii U it's no fun."
Apparently, switching from Call of Duty on the PS3 and the Xbox 360 to the Wii U is on the same level of craziness as moving from Facebook to Google+.
The Nintendo Wii U is at the moment available in North America and Europe and Japanese gamers will get access to it tomorrow.
The company is aiming to get 5.5 million units sold before the end of March 2013.
Most analysts believe that the hardware maker will miss its mark and that it will struggle to support the console in the long term.
Satoru Iwata has recently announced that Nintendo will create both Mario and Zelda 3D titles for the Wii U, but has given no time frame for their launch.
Until now, the only hard sales numbers for the new home console are linked to the United States market, where it sold more than 400,000 units.

A British movie we have huge hopes for is Working Title's adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. There's a new teaser trailer, out now and online that only raises them to possibly unsustainable levels. No pressure or anything. Now this is how to make a thriller teaser.
Among the smoke and mirrors, there's a brief intro to all the major players at MI6. There's Benedict Cumberbatch as Peter Guillam, head of the no-nonsense 'Scalphunters' (think the bit of MI6 Jason Statham would be in), and Mark Strong as betrayed spook Jim Prideaux. Gary Oldman is front and centre as methodical, intuitive ex-spymaster George Smiley, brought out of retirement to unearth a mole at the heart of British intelligence. Not an actual mole - that'd be weird - but a Soviet spy planted by the KGB's Karla, leaking secrets to the Russians that are costing the lives of British agents.

I recently had the job of researching the western "half" of Adventure Cycling's new Bicycle Route 66 route. So what do we do when we research a new route? First of all, after we have a general idea of a new route, e.g. Historic Route 66, we gather information from local cyclists and clubs in each area to get suggestions on specific roads to use. Then we take these suggestions, along with a handful of bike maps and other detailed maps, and hit the road.

Local blog, Congress Heights on the Rise, got wind of some television crews trailing former Mayor of D.C. Marion Barry, who now serves as a councilmember for the District.
With all of the controversy surrounding Marion Barry there's no doubt that I'll be watching. I just hope this time, unlike his Nine Lives documentary, helps his public image and doesn't hurt it (even further).

Meredith Whitney is the latest analyst to slash fourth-quarter earnings estimates for Goldman and Morgan Stanley, citing poor trading conditions and "persistently weaker investment banking activity."
Meredith Whitney's firm drops its Goldman Sachs earnings estimate to $1.83 a share from $2.61, and hacks Morgan Stanley's fourth-quarter estimate to 9 cents from 36 cents.
Ticonderoga Securities today is out with research on upcoming earnings reports for Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. It ain't pretty, but Ticonderoga says the seeds for improvement may be starting to germinate for the investment banks.
Ticonderoga slashes its per-share earnings estimate on Goldman Sachs to 97 cents from $4.12. And the full-year number for 2012 goes all the way down to $8.87 from $11.51. Not good. Ticonderoga says it expects revenue in Goldman's fixed income, currency and commodities trading to be weak for this year.
Now the good news from Ticonderoga:

Zach's Top 5 Favorite Elton John Songs [MUSIC]
With over 250 million records sold and countless awards, Sir Elton John has given this world some of rock's best music. I mean, who can forget "Bennie and the Jets" and "Your Song"? They're some of the best songs ever written. Over the years, Elton John has given us unforgettable songs, so compiling a list of my favorites was a bit difficult. They're all great in different ways. But, I have compiled a list nonetheless, and, today, I would like to share with you my Top 5 Favorite Elton John Songs. (Oh, something I found interesting about Sir Elton John–his birth name is Reginald Kenneth Dwight.)
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"
Released in 1973, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was written by Elton John's collaborating lyricist Bernie Taupin. According to Wikipedia, "It was widely praised by critics, and some critics have named it John's best song."
"Crocodile Rock"
This song is fun and uptempo. Interesting story about this song: "The song was inspired by John's discovery of leading Australian band Daddy Cool and their hit single, with 1,000,000 sold. "Eagle Rock",[4] which was the most successful Australian single of the early 1970s, remaining at No.1 for a record of 10 weeks.[5][6] John heard the song and the group on his 1972 Australian tour and was greatly impressed by it," according to Wikipedia.
"Bennie and the Jets"
Here is one of Elton John's most recognizable songs. "Axl Rose, of Guns N' Roses, has stated it was listening to "Bennie and the Jets" that inspired him to become a singer," according to Wikipedia.
"I'm Still Standing"
A Great song that definitely gets your foot tappin', with its uptempo beat. According to Wikipedia, "The song became a big hit for John on both sides of the Atlantic, peaking at #4 in the UK, reaching #1 in Switzerland and #12 in the US."
"Your Song"
And, here it is, my favorite Elton John song. I few weeks ago, I spotlighted this song by listing my favorite covers of this song. Like I mentioned in that story, Your Song is just one of those perfect love songs that's nice to sing along to. I called it "one of those quintessential love songs."

|This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2015)
|Part of a series on
Śrauta (Devanagari श्रौत) traditions are conservative ritualistic traditions of the historical Vedic religion in Hinduism, based on the body of Śruti literature. They are still practiced in India today although constituting a small minority within Hinduism.
Shrauta traditions presently alive are:
- Rig veda: Ashvalayana (Shakala) and Sankhayana (Kausitaki)
- Sama veda: Drahyayana (Kauthuma), Latyayana (Ranayaniya), Jaiminiya
- Krishna Yajurveda: Baudhayana, Vadhoola, Bharadvaja, Apastamba, Hiranyakesin, Vaikhanasa (for Taittiriya) and Manava, Varaha (for Maitrayani)
- Shukla Yajurveda: Katyayana (for Kanva and Madhyandina both)
- Atharva Veda: Vaitana (Shaunaka and Paippalada)
- Yajur Veda
The Shrauta tradition places more emphasis on the performance of rituals rather than having a set of beliefs. The practices of the Shrauta tradition mainly consist of yajnas. The yajnas are divided into two categories, nitya-karma and kaamya karma. Nitya-karma refers to those yajnas that have to be performed daily or as per occasion. Kaamya-karma refers to those yajnas performed with a particular purpose, such as wishing for rain, cattle, overlordship or for a son (e.g. Putrakameshti).
The Vedas describe 400 Yajnas.[1] A (late) subset of them are the Pancha Mahayajnas (Five Great Yajnas, see Taittiriya Aranyaka 2.10):
- Devayajña consists of offering āhutis to devas
- Pitṛyajña consists of offering libations[2] to ancestors or pitṛs
- Bhūtayajña consists of offering bali or food to certain spirits
- Manuṣyayajña consists of feeding guests
- Brahmayajña consists of daily repetition of reciting the Vedas.
The pantheon in the Shrauta tradition consists of various gods and goddesses, known as devas, who represent natural forces or deified social concepts. For instance, the deva Agni has one aspect as fire.
Since Shrauta focuses on conservative Vedic rituals, the pantheon corresponds to the Rigvedic deities more than to that of mainstream (Puranic) Hinduism. Among the most prominent deities are Agni, Indra (god of weather and war), and Soma (lunar god, known also as Chandra), as well as the All-gods (Viśve devāḥ), Ashvins (twin gods of sunrise and sunset), Ushas (goddess of the dawn), Surya (sun god), Savitr (another solar deity), Parjanya (god of rain and thunder), Rudra (an early form of Shiva, known as "the howler," god of storms and hunting), or Sarasvati, goddess of knowledge and the arts. (cf. Chamakam 6):
Oral tradition[edit]
The Shrauta tradition of transmitting the Vedas consisted solely of oral tradition from the Guru (teacher) to the shishya (student). Vedic scholars have made use of manuscripts in order to teach the Vedas to their students at least since the Middle Ages, and have used printed books since the advent of Western philology in British India, but the use of writing has always been secondary to the oral tradition.
Methods of recitation[edit]
The oral tradition of the Vedas consists of several ways of recitation. The students are first taught the Samhita Patha. Here, patha means a way of recitation. The other methods of chanting include "pada", "krama", "jata", "mala", "sikha", "rekha", "dhvaja", "danda", "ratha", "ghana" etc.
Some Veda reciters, called ghanapaathins, have learned the recitation of the texts up to the advanced stage called ghana. Ghanapaathins recite a mantra in different ways, with individual words repeated back and forth. Similarly, in the other methods of chanting like krama, jata, sikha, mala, and so on. The chief purpose of such methods is to ensure that not even a syllable of a mantra is altered to the slightest extent. The words are braided together, so to speak, and recited back and forth.[3]
Present situation of Shrauta tradition[edit]
The Shrauta rituals continue to be practiced by Brahmins from all over India. The Aupasana [4] is performed in many houses. However the Shrauta tradition emphasises the Vedic form of the Agnihotra, New and Full Moon sacrifices and a few more complex rituals, including the Agnistoma (Soma) sacrifice.
=Prominent Shrauti scholars and communities[edit]
- Sthanika tulu brahmins in tulu nadu maintain shrouta traditions
- Nambudiri Brahmins in Kerala maintain Shrauta traditions
- The center of Shrauta tradition is Varanasi, where there are more than 50 Veda Patashalas. The Saryupareen Brahmins a division of Kanyakubja Brahmins are the most prominent of the Shrauta Brahmins. Their surnames like Trivedi, Chaturvedi, Bajpai indicate their proficiency in the Shrauta rituals.
- Pune, Maharashtra. There are a number of Veda Patasalas here.[5]
- Pandit Satyavrata Samashrami, Sanskrit research scholar and Professor, Calcutta University who first translated the Sama Veda into English in 1874.
- The other prominent Shrautis include reside in Mattur, Sringeri, Holenarsipur and other places in Karnataka
- The village Sengalipuram in Tamil Nadu is also famous for producing great Shrauti scholars like Sengalipuram Anantarama Dikhshitar
- Warangal and Guntur in Andhra Pradesh have produced many Shrauti scholars
- Puri in Odisha is a major centre for great Shrauti scholars

Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapoor Doing Coochie-Coo at the Airport
Both the Sweet Couples of Aashiqui 2 were caught today early morning at the Airport sitting together like a couple. Their movie Aashiqui 2 just released today and this two new couple of Bollywood Movies were caught sitting together which started creating gossips among media persons. The questions is why they were sitting together at the Airport? Oh!!! Their Producer Mahesh Bhatt recently tweeted, both this cute couples Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapoor missed their Flight at the Airport. Aashiqui 2 is having the mixed response on the box office on the very first day so may be this two couple tried to create some gossips as the promotion part of the movie otherwise in my opinion, there was nothing like sitting together at the Airport like a Couple. Or is it a possibility they themselves captured this Romantic moment just to tweet? Were this two couple doing Googly-Woogly-Boosh at the airport after so any romantic moments in the movie Aashiqui 2? Lets see what comes next as the promotion part of Aashiqui 2.

High School Football In Heat Has Considerable Health Risk
As per a recent health survey report, high school football in extreme heat is quite risky for the players. In the current high school football summer in the United States four deaths have been reported already. According to the recommendation of the doctors, it is better to be indoors and avoid the high temperatures which occur during this period. The heat wave has been witnessed across the United States and the coaches have been cautioned about the health status of the players. Health is certainly more important than on field challenge which the players want to undertake.
Although the advice from the health experts is to stay indoors, it remains to be seen how the intense competition of high school football can be avoided. Intense practice sessions in the midst of heat is a regular affair which concerns high school football in the United States. It is very difficult to control the immense sentiments of players, officials and fans connected with high school football. But pitting a health risk for it is not a good decision at all. Off late, the temperature scale during the morning hours when most practice sessions take place has been on the higher side.
This is not the right time to practice or play high school football. The significant fact which further enhances the problem is that coaches have failed to comprehend this life threatening health hazard. The annual death rate of the players has enhanced significantly. According to a latest research which has been conducted the death list involves both the players and officials like linesmen. In order to counter this danger pre emptive measures are being taken. These measures include providing the coaches with the correct training related to instant heat care. Healthcare is always important and should also be an integral part of high school football.

Hello everyone! *waves*
I'm a Mum of 4. and boy does it show! I've been set back a bit in the weight department by surgery in 2012 to remove a tumour that left me in a lot of pain. I also quit smoking in August so that's had me reaching for the sweet treats! I'm now at 12st 4lbs and this isn't great for me at all. My goal is to lose 44lbs. I joined WW yesterday and have joined this site looking for real support.
Most of the weight I've gained has been since I quit smoking, I've put on a shocking 2 stone! I don't feel comfortable at all. My Husband is the same so we're both doing this together. The main problem we have is portion size, lack of exercise and general lack of healthy food in the house. That changes this week. I'll be sending the Husband out tomorrow for fruit, veg and other healthy foods. That does sound a bit bossy but I'm recovering from Chicken Pox, so I'm a real sight at the minute!
We live in Airdrie in Scotland. I'm not sure if this is a UK or US based site? Are there any of you close to me? In any case, I really hope to make friends through this journey from near and far. Look forward to chatting with you all.

UT-Permian Basin launching a $10,000 degree
Cost to entice science students
At the Wednesday meeting of the University of Texas System Board of Regents, David Watts, the president of the University of Texas of the Permian Basin, announced that his institution would begin offering a $10,000 bachelor's degree this fall.
Gov. Rick Perry challenged the state's colleges and universities to develop degrees that cost no more than $10,000 — books included — in his 2011 State of the State address.
Institutions have responded in different ways. At a SXSWedu panel in March, Texas A&M University-San Antonio President Maria Ferrier and Alamo Colleges Chancellor Bruce Leslie announced that they had devised a bachelor's degree that costs roughly $9,700. To reach that affordable level, students must take an unconventional path, completing their associate degree in high school, followed by two semesters at a community college before ultimately transferring to A&M-San Antonio to complete a bachelor of applied arts and sciences degree in information technology.
The UTPB degree is different in that the $10,000 price tag is for four full years at the university. Gene Powell, the chairman of the UT System Board of Regents, noted in a statement that UTPB is the first institution in Texas to offer a $10,000 degree that can be completed on one campus.
It's not for everyone. The cost of the degree has been reduced as part of a program to entice promising science students. Students seeking to earn bachelor of science degrees in chemistry, computer science, geology, information systems or mathematics can apply to the school's new Texas Science Scholar program. If they are accepted, their tuition and fees will be capped at $2,500 per year, instead of the roughly $6,300 most UTPB students pay annually.
In addition to maintaining at least a 3.0 grade-point average, students in the program must commit to completing 30 credit hours per year, ensuring that they can complete the 120 hours needed for a degree in a timely matter — something many students struggle with. Watts said in a statement that he believes the new program "improves access to critical degrees in science and technology and also addresses the institution's goal to increase enrollment while improving the four-year graduation rate."
As the program's website notes, space is limited, so those who qualify should apply quickly. To be eligible, students must be Texas residents who come to the university without requiring any developmental coursework — typically English language arts or mathematics — and who are ready to take pre-calculus and general chemistry their freshman year.
While $2,500 per year adds up to $10,000 over four years, that total does not include the cost of books, as Perry initially instructed. In a statement, Perry congratulated the university and added, "I encourage all our institutions of higher education to continue their efforts to create more degrees costing no more than $10,000, books included."

'Big Brother 12' Winner Named (Season Finale Recap)
What a long strange trip this season has been. Sure, that can be said for most seasons of the ultimate hamster-watching. Yet, the game play this season, coupled with the lack of diversity in casting, made for a genuinely odd summer in the 'Big Brother' house.
It's the season of the witch and of the dodos. But even more than that, it's the season of the Brigade -- the largest secret alliance to make it to the end with three members in the final three. The Animal, the Beast and the Meow Meow. Who woulda thunk it?
After winning the final Head of Household competition, Hayden Moss chose to face off against Lane Elenburg for the $500,000 prize. The jury grilled them both, and ended up voting for Hayden by a 4-3 vote.
The finale show was long, we're talking two hours. Thankfully, only about ten minutes was spent recapping the season. What they did seem to hype was the Brigade. With the exception of Hayden, the remaining Brigade members are probably two of the most inept hamsters ever in the house. Well, there's Kathy, but let's not go there.
However, one thing that both Lane and Enzo offered us this season was comedy relief. Both could come off as dumb as a box of rocks, yet their lines were some of the best ones in the show all season. Even tonight when Enzo decided he was the Godfather and arranged a hit on himself, I had to laugh. And then again, when voting his line "I have to decide between who needs a haircut or who needs a shave" came out, I guffawed out loud.
On the other hand, Matt continues to creep me out. Not only was there the wife lie, but when Britney arrived in the jury house, he took credit for the Brigade. I was thrilled that Andrew, then Annie, both credited Enzo. Hey, the guy needs some kind of credit for the alliance he formed on the second day. It was Enzo, not Matt. Let's get that straight!
The jury debate itself was intriguing. Rachel and her puppy dog Brendon, decided that since they're personally the best competitors ever and they're on the jury, this is the year of the social game. In a way, they're definitely right -- otherwise Lane and Enzo wouldn't be in the final three. But there was the underlying feeling that Rachel felt that way because she was evicted and not them. While it's shocking that she admitted to not playing a good social game, she stood fast with her and Brendon being the best ever.
When they finally got around to the third part of the HoH competition, I really figured Hayden would win by a landslide. Instead, unrehearsed on live television, Lane and Hayden kept coming up with the exact same answers -- even the wrong one. They were like psychic twins or something. Kind of creepy if you ask me. Neither one came anywhere near close with the tiebreaker, but Hayden won it and, despite editing, chose to evict Enzo.
Now, I thought it would be a clear victory for Hayden if he made the final two at all. I believe most of the audience did. Our first inkling that the votes might not be unanimous for just about the first time this season came back at the jury debate. It's probably more personal than awarding the true winner for their glorious achievements in the house. I'd say it's more like "I don't want him to win, so I'm voting for him."
The jury questioning advanced the Brenchel agenda. Both tried to suck up to the jury, but Lane is just a bit slower on the take. He blew the question with Enzo and that turned out to be the deciding vote. Matt, Kathy and Ragan went for competitors while Brendon and Rachel voted social gamers. Britney voted for her bestest friend ever in the house. Lane stumbled and said that he hadn't decided which to take to the final two when Enzo asked. Had he only said Enzo, that would have nailed his victory. Instead, Hayden got Enzo's vote sealing Lane's doom.
Although the boys played a non-game for the most part, their secret alliance with its side-alliances did work. It controlled the vote and kept them safe. Of the folks in the house, I was mostly entertained by Enzo and Britney, with Lane's Diary Room sessions as a bonus. This was the first season ever that I never had a clear-cut favorite. Either they creeped me out (Matt) or they had an obnoxious laugh and personality (Rachel) or fell for a cheap loud snorts-when-she laughs "I am Vegas!" bimbo (Brendon) or they basically faded into the woodwork.
Yet the ones I liked really had no chance of winning; maybe that's why I couldn't commit to a favorite. At least Britney won the $25,000 America's Vote prize as the favorite player. She was the choice with a whopping 41% of the votes here on our TV Squad poll for the prize, too. Do we know our stuff or what?

Tips for social media success
Tips for social media success
Remember when computers were considered a novelty to be used and understood only by "geeks?" Competition and the need to adapt to a fast paced business environment made technology a necessity, not a luxury.
Now, the same question surfaces for all who desire a larger presence in business: Is social media the way to go? Undeniably, it is.
The use of social media should be as carefully thought out as your company business plan and marketing efforts. Simply speaking, social media is part of your "media mix" — that is, the combination of media tools you use to reach your organization's target market.
Change is tough for most people, so changing brand loyalty or shopping at different retailers, for instance, is based on habit. You want to change that habit through providing an option for the customer.
The overall goal is establishing a certain amount of credibility to ensure that your efforts at social media marketing are effective. Before you begin using social media, analyze whether your business really needs all the time and effort you are going to put in online. Next, when you do start, ensure you have a plan and understand the goal you intend to achieve. Don't do it just because everyone else is doing it. Do it because you intend to highlight your business and direct your consumer to a reliable brand.
Maintain your profile online. Credibility is what people look for in any company promoting itself online. So not only should your profile be complete, your business should be clearly described with an address and contact number so people can interact with you in different ways.
Be consistent and disciplined. You have business hours to customers know when your business is open — do the same with social media. Post updates regularly. Search engines are always working for you if you are following a pattern. You should also update all your social media vehicles with the same frequency and maintain the same profiles for consistency.
Stay focused. Many business people post articles or updates that end up appearing irrelevant to the actual subject they are talking about. While verbal artistry is commendable, in some cases it can backfire, and there are only a few people who give others a second chance. It is better to keep updates to the point and specific to what you are actually referring to. Also ensure that the language you use is grammatically correct and professional.
Remember: Marketing efforts are cumulative. It takes time to build your brand. Most people stop updating when they feel momentum is on their side. Maintaining your online presence is the key to success. Stale information means a drop in readership.
Ask for and listen to feedback. You have spent lots of time and money setting up your social network. Now, response to comments is essential to closing the loop. The concept of social media is about interaction. When you don't interact and start having a one-sided conversation where you continue promoting without addressing the reader, you are bound to lose your following.
Social media is now a serious business. It's never too late to find an opportunity, so join in rather than sit on the sidelines. The key is a clear idea of what you want to say and providing benefits to your reader.

Building Accessible Websites
Using a strategic approach to the issues in a journalistic style, this book will be a foundation for how people think about this issue going forward-the first book people would read on the topic, before delving into the minutiae of the moment.
With lawsuits and human-rights complaints proliferating, and with simple awareness of accessibility percolating through the industry, soon it will be hard to find a web shop that won't be producing accessible sites, whether it presently has the experience and know-how or not. Government mandates, lawsuits from disability groups, more non-English speaking web users, and an increasing population of Web-enabled devices make this a vital topic.

DePaul's Offense Comes Alive in Sweep Over Chicago State
Oct. 25, 2011
CHICAGO – The DePaul volleyball team snapped its recent slide with a convincing sweep over Chicago State on Tuesday night in the McGrath-Phillips Arena. The Blue Demons took the sets by final scores of 25-23, 25-20, and 25-12 to move DePaul to 5-18 on the season.
It was all about the offense for DePaul in the non-conference matchup as the BlueDemons hit at a commanding .390 percentage over the course of the three sets.
"As a team, to hit .390," DePaul head coach Nadia Edwards said following the game, "I think that that's good. We had some goals going into the match, especially offensively, that we wanted to accomplish."
The first frame was the closest of the night as the two squads played back-and-forth throughout. The Cougars (1-22) had their best offensive performance in the opening set as they hit .290, but at 7-7, DePaul broke the deadlock once and for all. Sophomore Allyson Rooks, who was positioned as libero in the frame, took over on the serve and promptly dropped in an ace to give the Blue Demons the 8-7 advantage.
DePaul followed by taking five of the next seven points and grabbing hold of a 13-9 lead, forcing a Chicago State timeout. The Cougars made it close at the end when they pulled to within one at 24-23, but DePaul rebounded with a strong smash to close it out at 25-23.
In the second set, DePaul began to take the reigns and assert its ability. With the score at 3-3, Natalie Rizzo knocked down an imposing kill to put DePaul ahead and the Cougars could not recover from that point forward. Rizzo, who hit .600 on the night with seven kills and one error in 10 attempts, also tallied two blocking assists in the match. The Cougars mustered up another rally late in the second frame, but after DePaul got out to a lead as large as eight points, Chicago State could not fully rebound.
"I think today we were focused on the quality of play and playing to our potential, and minimizing our mistakes and our errors," Edwards said. "The way that we finished is the way that we need to be playing."
The third frame saw no late rally by Chicago State as the Blue Demons went ahead and stayed again. DePaul committed just one error in the frame while swatting down 14 kills in just 26 total attacks. Sophomore Genesis Reyes excelled on the attacking front in the set as she hit down five kills, including one on match point, and no errors.
Edwards continued, "I think that Genesis [Reyes] did a great job jumping in and doing what we asked her to do. Being able to hit for no errors really hits home the message that I've been trying to get through to the girls."
Overall in the match, Reyes hit .500 with seven kills and no errors. Senior Molly Creek swatted down four kills of her own while junior Rachel Aumann registered five kills and committed no errors on the attack. The Blue Demons outblocked the Cougars 4.0-to-2.0 while also out-digging Chicago State by a 32-26 margin.
DePaul now heads back into BIG EAST Conference action this weekend as it travels to St. John's on Friday before taking on Connecticut on Sunday.
On the win, Edwards noted that the victory "gives us a lot of momentum." She continued, "For one, it gives us a little bit more confidence and I think we've got a big weekend ahead of us against some really good teams on the road so it helps us to regain focus. "

Prime Minister Stephen Harper delivered the following remarks at the 12th Annual Diwali Celebration :
"Thank you very much.
"Good evening, namaste, sat sri akal.
"I want to greet everybody, colleagues at the Parliament of Canada there are really too many to name, Acting High Commissioner, members of the diplomatic service, nice to have you here, members of the Indo-Canadian community, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.
"First of all, I want to thank Deepak, not just for that kind introduction, but once again, I know he's already been recognized, but to recognize him for the event that is taking place this evening.
"Over the years, nobody has worked harder than Deepak to bring together Parliamentarians and Indo-Canadian leaders to mark the age-old celebration of Diwali, right here in the nation's capital.
"So, we all thank and we congratulate Deepak for making this a great new Canadian tradition.
"And it's getting bigger and bigger every year, we're going to have to get bigger venues, now when they get that new football stadium finished Deepak, we'll have to have it there some year.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this national celebration of Diwali is now, as has been mentioned, in its twelfth year.
"It is an annual reminder that Canada's embrace of pluralism, is not just an act of faith, but it is a product of experience.
"It further reminds us that Canada welcomes immigrants from everywhere on earth and provides to all a chance to get ahead, to make better lives for our families, and to contribute to our communities and our country.
"The success of Canada's Indo-Canadian community is a testament to this fact.
"It is almost a million strong, you are leading Canadian doctors and lawyers, professors and teachers, public office holders, successful business men and women, and hard-working employees.
"All across Canada, you have prospered.
"And as good Canadians, you have brought and continue to honour the tradition of charitable giving that is such an important part of Diwali.
"I'd just like to briefly recognize and talk about one particularly fine example of this that's happening in Mississauga and the surrounding area.
"There, ten years ago, the South Asian community there approached the Trillium Health Centre Foundation with a partnership idea.
"Could the foundation and the community jointly host a Diwali fundraiser to benefit local hospitals?
"Well, the thought became the father of the deed.
"In that first year, six hundred people attended and raised more than one hundred-thousand dollars.
"Since that first event, Trillium Diwali has raised almost five million dollars for critical projects at sites such as the Credit Valley Hospital and theTrillium Health Centre.
"This year's Gala was held in Brampton two weeks ago.
"More than eleven hundred guests attended this year, all responding to the theme Eat, Play, Give.
"If I could just quote what President Hoscheit, who is the President and CEO of the Trillium Health Centre Foundation said about his feelings about this event, he said and I quote:
"'That generosity is a true testament to what the celebration of Diwali is all about.
"'There is no greater gift than the gift of health.
"'We could not be more grateful to our Trillium Diwali supporters for all they have done in support of health care excellence in our community,' unquote.
"That's a great tribute and I know it warms all of our hearts when we hear stories like that.
"There is something special and vibrant about a culture in which charitable giving is a way of life.
"There also is something special and vibrant about a festival where meeting the needs of others becomes part of the celebration.
"So, ladies and gentlemen, the sharing of Diwali is a very welcome Indian addition to the Canadian calendar.
"For that, I'd like to congratulate all of you.
"You are spreading goodwill between the cultures.
"In fact, half the people who attended the gala I talked about this year were not Indo-Canadians.
"The recognition of Diwali here is also part of building the bonds of contact and friendship between us and that great nation, India.
"In just a few days, I will be visiting India, as has been mentioned, for important talks with one of Canada's good friends and partners, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
"Our countries relations have been developing and deepening rapidly in recent years.
"They are based on a solid foundation of things such as language, a federal system of government, a commitment to democracy and pluralism, and the shared cultural experiences like the event we are sharing this evening.
"There is, however, a lot of room for the relationship to grow, especially in areas of trade and investment.
"Friends and partners we are indeed, Canada and India, but friends we should also be doing more together.
"So, I look forward to another productive visit to India.
"In the meantime, as you gather with friends and family for the Festival of Lights, please accept my best wishes for a happy Diwali, and for health and good fortune throughout the year.
"Thank you."

Rebuilding Microsoft
AT MICROSOFT, IT'S known simply as the Bill Review. At some point in the early stages of any major product or service launch, the richest man in the world would sit in judgment, assessing a team's progress and deciding whether the project should still get the company's backing. Engineers and executives spent days and nights preparing for this session, a grilling that could make or break a career.

The anxiety was entirely justified. The CEO (and later chief software architect) brought every ounce of his ruthless, superior intellect to the job, and he didn't suffer fools. Tallying the number of times Gates shook his head and said "fuck" became the standard metric for failure throughout the 1990s. Joel Spolsky, a former Microsoft developer, recalled making one presentation in which someone counted only four. "Wow, that's the lowest I can remember," Spolsky's colleague told him. "Bill is getting mellow in his old age."
Now the era of the Bill Review is coming to a close. In June, Gates stepped down from his role as chief software architect (though he'll retain the title of chairman). He'll spend the next two years ratcheting down his work at the company he cofounded 31 years ago, devoting the bulk of his time to philanthropic efforts. His handpicked successor, Ray Ozzie, doesn't like to curse, at least not in meetings. In fact, Ozzie is in many ways the anti-Gates: courtly, soft-spoken, as approachable as your favorite college prof.
But the two men share something important to the past and future of Microsoft: technological brilliance. As the inventor and principal executive behind Lotus Notes in the '80s and '90s, the 50-year-old Ozzie is considered one of the best software minds on the planet. In its day, Lotus Notes was among the most popular applications in corporate America. In 1997, Ozzie started Groove Networks, a company – like the one behind Lotus – created to help office workers collaborate electronically. Microsoft bought Groove in April 2005 for $120 million, and Ozzie signed on as a top executive in Redmond.
But the idea of being put on a pedestal makes Ozzie squirm. For starters, he doesn't like to be in front of crowds and used to suffer from crippling stage fright. More fundamentally, trying to manage from atop a pedestal doesn't work, he says. You lose touch with employees, and that makes it harder to lead an organization and get things done. And at Microsoft – a company many say is clinging to an outdated business model and beset by more-nimble competitors – there's a lot of hard work to be done these days.
Just listen to Ozzie describe his management style. "When I find a hairy bug," he wrote in a 2003 blog posting, "I love having the developer come in and debug it face-to-face. It gives me a chance not only to understand more about the product's internals, but also, you have no idea what I learn chitchatting while waiting for debug files to copy, etc. Design and implementation issues, stuff that people have been building off to the side, things about the organization, rumors, etc." He continued: "I suppose this is just classic 'walking the halls,' but I feel as though without this kind of direct nonhierarchical contact I would lose touch with my organization, and people throughout would know I was disconnected and would lose respect for me."
It's hard to imagine how a guy this self-effacing could survive inside Microsoft's insular, hierarchical, hypercompetitive culture. Redmond is notorious for bringing outsiders into the executive ranks and promptly shredding them. But since joining the company 18 months ago, Ozzie's star has only gotten brighter. He was brought on as one of three chief technical officers, and less than two months into his tenure, he was leading a secret strategy session on how to fight competitors like Google. By November, he was the architect of a new software development strategy for the entire company. And in June of this year, he reached the mountaintop: Gates announced that he was essentially retiring and named Ozzie as the company's technology überboss.
"With Gates, everything was always a production," says one program manager who asked to remain anonymous. "You'd go to Building 34, where he and [CEO Steve] Ballmer have their own separate wings, and then you'd have to get cleared by a security guard, and then you'd have to get cleared by two secretaries – all before you made your presentation." When Ozzie was interested in learning more about a product, he would go to the program manager's conference room, and he went prepared with good questions showing that he had done his homework. And as chief software architect, he shows no signs of changing his approach.
There are, of course, two major reasons for Ozzie's ascendancy at Microsoft: Gates and Ballmer. Ozzie is one of the few technologists anywhere whom they respect; they'd been trying for years to get him to join the company. Now he's carrying their hopes for the future, and it's a heavy load. Ozzie needs to move Microsoft from selling software in a box to selling lightning-fast, powerful online applications ranging from gaming to spreadsheets. The risks are enormous. The mission is to radically alter the way the company sells its most profitable software and to pursue the great unknown of so-called Web services – trading an old cash cow for an as-yet-to-be-determined cash cow. No, Microsoft doesn't think its customers will stop using PCs with hard drives and work entirely online, but the desktop era is drawing to a close, and that promises to force some painful trade-offs.
MICROSOFT HAS BEEN in a funk since 2003. Its travails could be the subject of a Harvard Business School case study on the innovator's dilemma. The company made – and still makes – billions selling desktop software, mainly Windows and Office. But the center of gravity has moved, and desktop software is about as cutting-edge as a nightly network newscast. Instead, Web-based apps are taking hold, and devices other than the PC – smartphones, iPods, digicams – represent the growth markets for software. At the same time, new business models, like search-based advertising and low-cost software subscriptions, are beginning to generate big money.
None of this is news in Redmond. In a 1995 company-wide memo titled "The Internet Tidal Wave," Gates famously recognized the network as a disruptive tsunami. And starting in 2000, he tried to prepare his troops for yet another big shift, with a series of speeches on Web services. Even then, Gates was describing a world where desktop applications would eventually work in concert with high-speed apps delivered over the Internet. Among other benefits, he noted, "you should never have to enter the same information multiple times."

Zoo Intern Experiences the Otter Side of Hands-On Learning
Working with Endangered Animals and Focusing on Environmental Research
As an intern at the Palm Beach Zoo, Carolina Paola Segarra kept frequent company with the animals including endangered Malayan tigers, Goeldi's monkeys, and the playful North American river otters.
A senior majoring in environmental science/studies at the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences, Segarra's goal was to observe the animals' behavior and record data as part of a hands-on, research-focused internship at the zoo's conservation and research department.
"I always had something to do, which was very exciting and kept things interesting," said Segarra, who has worked in animal-care programs since middle school. Her recent work at the nonprofit zoo—home to more than 1,400 animals—fulfilled requirements for a practicum course at the college.
By choosing to major in environmental science/studies, "I decided to combine my passions to better understand environmental research and its relationship to animal welfare and rights," Segarra said.
"Palm Beach Zoo offered the perfect opportunity with its conservation and research internship because I was able to study how environmental factors play a role in zoos and how conservation education plays a role in future change."
At the zoo, Segarra's research focused on the correlation between an animal's environment and certain behaviors. Spending time with river otters, for instance, her goal was to observe whether the physical size of zoo guests caused abnormal behaviors by the otters, or if novel objects provided by zookeepers stimulated the otters to be more active.
In another study, she explored whether certain frog species could raise their offspring in captivity as they would in the wild, and if rearing the tadpoles in certain conditions would increase their chances of surviving to adulthood.
"This is the kind of opportunity that students usually get working with faculty on independent research projects, but seldom during an internship," said Paul Baldauf, Ph.D., associate professor at the college who chairs the environmental science/studies program and who served as Segarra's faculty advisor.
"Her level of engagement in research as part of an internship is unusual. She's had a richer experience than most students because of the degree that she was trusted to collect and analyze data on these animals. Carolina will understand more about the formulation of hypotheses and collection and analysis of data than other students at her level.
"Students in the environmental science/studies major have the chance to apply scientific principles to solve environmental problems. It bridges theory and practice," Baldauf said.
"For Carolina, this internship has been especially helpful because zoo keeping is a very specialized field with specialized experiential and educational requirements. Carolina has a much better understanding about how to achieve her professional goals now than she did a year ago."
Besides research, Segarra educated guests about the animals at the zoo's Florida Exhibit, helped plan events and make signs, and assisted zoo keepers by preparing the animals' diets and "cleaning up after them."
"One of the conservation projects I did was making signs for a rehabilitation center in Argentina. It was amazing to see how a small project can help educate others and motivate change."
During the internship, Segarra wrote a weekly journal. She hopes to present her research at NSU's Undergraduate Student Symposium in spring 2013. She is working with an employee at the zoo to publish an article in the print publication Animal Keepers Forum.
She plans to pursue graduate studies in environmental science with a focus on ecology and conservation as well as her "dream job" of becoming a conservation biologist.
"My life goal is to help improve the ways that humans interact with nature and ultimately how we can learn to responsibly respect the parts of nature that we don't understand.
"My experience at the Palm Beach Zoo was unforgettable," she said. "I learned about the zoo industry and the importance of conservation as well as about myself and what I wish to do with my life. I am thankful for their support and will strive to keep spreading their conservation message."
