Suddenly, Jermey Parnell could be the starting right tackle for the Cowboys
IRVING — Cowboys tackle Jermey Parnell struggled with pass protection throughout training camp but managed to squeeze onto the team's 53-man roster. Now he could start at right tackle Sunday night in the season opener at the New York Jets.
First-round pick Tyron Smith hyperextended his knee in practice Wednesday and could miss Sunday night's game. Parnell worked at right tackle in practice Wednesday after Smith left the field with his knee injury.
Parnell is a former basketball player and considered more of a project than someone who is ready to start. He played one season of football and it was on defense. He switched to the offensive line on the New Orleans Saints' practice squad in 2009. He was inactive for the 12 games he was with Dallas last season.
Parnell declined to comment in the locker room today.
"We certainly are content with going with Parnell as our backup tackle at this particular juncture," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "Hope we don't have to see him very early. We're still comfortable there."
Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware said he's seen progress from Parnell.
"I go against him every day in practice so I have a lot of confidence in him," Ware said. "He run blocks really well, but his pass block is really quick. They stick him at right tackle, he's going to be a little quicker than a right tackle. He's already used to the speed. He's just got to get used to the bigger guys on that right side powering him."

Integrated turn-by-turn directions or more features – duhPosted: September 20, 2012 Filed under: Search Leave a comment
The latest version of the IOS has dropped Google maps in favor of an Apple proprietary maps app. Their is an awesome lesson in here for startups and consumers. Leveraging a closed platform limits choice.
With that said, I have been using iOS6 for a few months and the integration of turn-by-turn directions is so much better then the previous Google maps integration that i do not believe they should even be compared.
- I am not suggesting that Apple is the first mobile OS to offer this feature, their solution is better than other turn-by-turn apps or that the current implementation choice was the best one for the community.
I am simply saying as a consumer, and someone who is direction challenged, having turn-by-turn directions integrated directly into the OS is f"ing awesome and the way it should have been since the beginning.

At Exelon, Hanson to oversee nation's largest nuclear fleet
Exelon Generation has named alumnus Bryan Hanson (BSNEEP '88) chief operating officer and senior vice president of its nuclear fleet. Exelon is the largest operator of nuclear power facilities in the United States.
In his new role, Hanson will oversee the daily operation for all 10 of Exelon's nuclear facilities. Exelon operates the largest nuclear fleet in the United States and the third largest in the world.
"Bryan has demonstrated outstanding leadership of Exelon's Midwest nuclear plants, ensuring all plant personnel maintain a steadfast focus on the safe operation of those facilities," says Exelon Nuclear President and Chief Nuclear Officer Mike Pacilio. "His technical knowledge of our nuclear plants, coupled with his ambition and relentless pursuit of excellence are what will help drive our organization to be the best operator of nuclear plants in the world."
Hanson, who has been with the company his entire career, has held various managerial positions within both Exelon's Midwest and Mid-Atlantic operations, which include Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Prior to his newly named position, he was the senior vice president of operations for Exelon Generation's six Midwest nuclear facilities and 11 reactors. (Read more about this role in the Badger Engineers profile of Hanson in February 2013.)
During his tenure with Exelon, Hanson also has served as the site vice president for Exelon's Braidwood Generating Station and the site vice president for Clinton Power Station. In both these roles, he was responsible for all plant operations. He also has been vice president of nuclear oversight, Limerick Generating Station plant manager, and director of operations and work control.
Hanson also holds an MBA from St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, is a graduate of the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations Senior Nuclear Plant Management Program and the Exelon Leadership Institute at the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University.

With Wisconsin engineer at the helm, San Diego company earns NASA award
ATA Engineering Inc., of San Diego, is one of two companies to receive the George M. Low Award, the premier NASA honor for quality and performance. ATA, whose president is Mary Baker (BSEM '66), supported development of the Mars Science Laboratory and its robotic rover, Curiosity, at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
With 93 employees, this small business played a key role in the mission by conducting detailed mechanical simulation work to support spacecraft's challenging entry, descent and landing at Mars in August 2012.
Evaluators cited ATA's problem-solving ability, demonstrated with the design of Curiosity's sampling scoop; its emphasis on contracting with small business and hiring young talent with high potential; and its strong culture of teamwork.
URS Federal Technical Services Inc. of Germantown, Maryland, earned the Low award in the large business award category.
The Low award demonstrates NASA's commitment to promoting excellence and continual improvement by challenging its contractor community to be a global benchmark of quality management practices. The award was established in 1985 as NASA's Excellence Award for Quality and Productivity and renamed in 1990 in memory of George M. Low, an outstanding leader with a strong commitment to quality products and workforce during his 27-year tenure at the agency. Low was NASA's deputy administrator from 1969 to 1976 and a leader in the early development of space programs. Read the full NASA news release here.

Silicon Valley Badger Jim Sorden: I've spent my whole life measuring time
"I've spent my whole life measuring time"
The Global Positioning System (GPS), today one of the most versatile technologies on the planet, was still a highly experimental, underfunded military project when it first piqued Jim Sorden's interest in the mid-1980s.
But its potential compelled Sorden to make a bold move, leaving his 24-year career with Hewlett Packard in Palo Alto to join a small startup called Trimble Navigation. Long before the technology started popping into everything from auto dashboards to golf bags, Charles Trimble had some early hunches on civilian GPS applications. "It was a gamble at the time," says Sorden, a 1962 graduate and major supporter of electrical and computer engineering. "But I thought this one had a chance. So at the age of 50, I took a flier on it. It was terrific."
Trimble became the first company to launch viable, effective products in the GPS arena, starting with applications in surveying, mining, offshore drilling and construction. Sorden says Trimble's precision GPS surveying systems made a massive impact on the field, where heavy, slow and expensive were once the norm.
They transformed a process—which once required 100-pound GPS machines costing $250,000 and requiring a full day to produce a single, precision measurement—into a digital solution that provided real-time measurements in seconds, at an equipment cost of under $25,000. "The productivity of surveyors increased 10- to 100-fold," he says.
Sorden began at Trimble in 1987 as VP of product development and had 10 staff engineers. By the late 1990s, Sorden had more than 1,500 engineering, marketing, manufacturing and financial staff working in his division. "When Trimble started, the military wasn't even convinced GPS worked," says Sorden. "But our founder had experience in the chip industry and figured if GPS is going to work, it will have to be all digital. That was the primary reason for our early success. We ended up playing a big role in getting GPS fully funded by the government, because at no cost to the government, we demonstrated practical military GPS and we found uses the military never thought about."
The United States only had four good satellites in orbit when he first started, Sorden says. They could only retrieve measuring points when all satellites were ideally aligned, for a few hours each day. But they demonstrated during those windows they could survey to within one inch of accuracy. "The military was happy to get data with accuracy levels within 50 feet, until the Gulf War in the early '90s, when the need for precise GPS became apparent," he says.
One of Sorden's favorite applications is in farming. "Farmers always plant and harvest their crops at the absolute peak time. They work all day and night until the planting or harvesting is done, and it may take 30 or more hours," he says. "That first hour is all straight rows … but you're not very good after three hours."
Today, for about $3,000, a farmer can install a complete GPS system on his tractor that will guide absolutely straight rows every time. "This was a huge enhancement to farming productivity, with the side benefit in that it helps farmers precisely measure the per-bushel productivity of each small piece of their land," says Sorden.
He describes his Hewlett Packard years as almost like home. "You were working for Mother HP," he says. "They really took care of their employees, with high expectations for hard work."
The company did not offer retirement plans, but instead offered inexpensive HP stock purchase plans and options, which proved to be infinitely more lucrative given the growth of the company from the 1950s to '90s.
Sorden started out his career simply wanting to be an engineer, yet kept receiving opportunities from HP to move into management and strategic planning. He rose to each challenge, often with help from additional courses at nearby Stanford University. "Some people are really good at being clever and productive engineers and when promoted, find out they're not very good managers or leaders," he says. "I think I was good because I was a boss in the army, Sergeant Sorden. I actually was awful, but I learned all the things not to do."
He enlisted in the U.S. Army the day he graduated from Madison West High School in 1955. He spent five years in the military—three active duty; two in active reserves. Enrolling at UW-Madison after his military commitment, he received his bachelor's in the minimum time. He then enrolled in the ECE graduate program and also was a research assistant. Sorden and his wife, Anne, support an endowed professorship, currently held by David Anderson, in the department.
His research expertise was in developing measurement instruments to analyze time and amplitude to achieve ever-increasing levels of accuracy. Sorden holds eight U.S. patents, primarily in the measurement field, and his expertise was tapped by the Reagan administration in the early 1980s during its exploration of "Star Wars," the satellite-based missile defense system.
"I've spent my whole life measuring time," he quips.
Silicon Valley Badger Craig Palmer: And now for something completely new …
Some career trajectories follow a straight and narrow path; others take unexpected twists and turns. Craig Palmer's career might be likened to a cross-country road trip—the kind where you leave the map at home and see where the road takes you.
Palmer, a 1983 graduate of electrical and computer engineering, is currently CEO of Wikia, a San Francisco-based online content network that builds user communities around thousands of topics, from popular culture to lifestyle. The company, which Palmer describes as "the biggest Internet company no one has heard of," currently has more than 70 million unique visitors worldwide.
But let's start with how he got there.
"One common theme for me is I would get bored doing the same thing, and I always like new challenges," Palmer says. "I am unafraid to just sort of tackle something I'm ill-prepared for."
With his freshly minted ECE degree, he landed his first job in technical marketing—a departure from pure engineering—with Hewlett Packard Corp. at its Fort Collins, Colorado, offices. He was part of the work group that brought the first UNIX workstations to market. One of his more notable memories is carrying the first UNIX tapes to Bell Laboratories to validate their implementation.
After several years with HP, Palmer's intellectual curiosity began to take a sharp turn from hardware to software—from the powerful black boxes to the stuff that made them come to life. He moved to Silicon Valley and got a job with software company Cadence, which launched in 1988 and became a world leader in electronic design automation software for chip and circuit board design.
Cadence grew quickly, went public and began regularly acquiring new companies. And Palmer got the IPO and startup bug—along with a desire to get in on the ground floor. "I saw the power of how quickly software could grow and the value it could create," he says.
Palmer left Cadence in 1994 to join Aspect Development, a new business-to-business software company, as VP of marketing. Over five years and a successful IPO, revenues grew from $5 million to more than $100 million. On March 10, 2000, Aspect Management would make history: Acquired by fellow B2B company i2 for $9.3 billion, it became the biggest-money merger in software history at the time.
That day represented the single-day peak of the dot-com-era NASDAQ Composite, and only about a month before its tailspin.
Tackling a new challenge—this time with a consumer Internet company—Palmer moved to a eWanted, kind of the conceptual inverse of eBay. This company allowed consumers to post offers to buy a particular product, and the sellers to post bids. The more bids received, the lower the price fell.
eWanted acquired an auction company called Fleetwood-Owen, co-founded by Mick Fleetwood of rock band Fleetwood Mac, and morphed into a vertical marketplace for auctions, reverse auctions and sale of entertainment memorabilia. Memorable sales included the piano that John Lennon used to write "Imagine," the moon buggy from James Bond's Moonraker, and the largest collection of Elvis Presley memorabilia outside of Graceland.
In 2001, eWanted planned an auction around artistic works of original Beatle Stuart Sutcliffe, John Lennon's best friend and an accomplished artist. Sutcliffe's sister kept a large cache of Sutcliffe's works after his untimely death in 1962, and eWanted engineered an estate sale that drew international media attention. "We were supposed to sell this on September 11, 2001, in New York," Palmer says.
The 9-11 tragedy changed the world in many ways, including a lost interest in luxury items. The company decided to liquidate its assets. "You can only control how well you do," he says. "You can't control the market or the world at large."
Palmer remains positive about the venture. "I have a huge passion for music, and it allowed me to merge business and personal for the first time," he says. "It was also the first time I was able to explain to my mom in Oshkosh what I did for a living."
Where's the next destination?
In 2002, Palmer became CEO of Gracenote, another fascinating (and now well-known) Silicon Valley start-up. Gracenote is a great "tinkering engineer" story—in this case, engineer Steve Scherf wanted to know what songs were on his computer without checking the jewel box. So he created CD recognition technology that digitally displays the artist and individual tracks—a feature now ubiquitous in media players and home and car stereos. "Anything that you put a battery in, plug into a wall, or put gasoline in will at some point do something with digital media," Palmer says. "We wanted a home for Gracenote everywhere. We kept scaling, scaling, scaling."
The Gracenote story reached its zenith in 2008 with a sale to Sony. It was a gratifying experience for Palmer, helping some of his team experience the same startup success that he reaped with Aspect Development.
Which brings us back to Wikia, Palmer's latest digital venture. Palmer was hired in 2011 to lead the company, billed as Wikipedia's commercial sibling, also founded by Jimmy Wales. While Wikipedia draws vast online information into a distilled set of concise encyclopedic facts, Wikia invites online users to use its collaborative publishing platform to create vast amounts of multimedia content. "Wikipedia is like the encyclopedia in the library, and we're the rest of the books in the building," he says.
Wikia has more than 300,000 communities today, spanning video games, entertainment, food, fashion, travel, education and politics. Each community has a range of users with different skills who manage the site, write, edit, design graphics used in the site, and generally create and share content around their passion. Wikia is the No. 1 global site for video gaming communities and is the fastest growing entertainment site in the world. While Wikia unsurprisingly has communities on popular topics such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, and Call of Duty, it also has surprising communities built around topics such as bacon and My Little Pony.
Every day, 500 new Wika communities launch. "What makes Wikia so unique in social media today, is that most social networks—Facebook, Twitter and others—are all about individual expression and are often short-attention-span theater, where the thing you say today is forgotten tomorrow," he says. "In our collaborative world, you band together with the most knowledgeable and educated set of people around a particular subject and create a lasting body of work."
Looking back, Palmer says there is some common ground in his diverse professional road trip. One is a deep understanding of technology he learned at UW-Madison, a technical map that allowed him to understand how things worked and why they were important to his companies' success.
Being able to relate to the technical innovators offers a huge marketplace advantage. Coupled with some risk-taking and hunger to learn, Palmer found himself doing things he never imagined."I would never have been able to plan or foresee the path I took," Palmer says. "From hardcore engineering to Wikia is a really long journey, actually, but has also been an extremely fun and satisfying one."

Dreaming of a solo ChristmasComment on this story
The end of year holiday season is traditionally a time when families make plans to get together. The emphasis is on reunions – relatives arrive, spare rooms get made up and more people are squashed around the dining room table.
Amid all this family celebration time, we seldom stop to think of those who may not be joining loved ones. Some people don't have family with whom to get together. Others don't have the means to travel to far-away relatives, and some may be estranged from families and no longer welcome at the dinner table.
It's no coincidence that the suicide rate increases sharply during the year-end holiday period – when surrounded by people celebrating with loved ones, being alone can seem unbearable.
If you are going to be on your own this festive season, there are lots of things you can do to make yourself – and others – feel better.
Give the gift of you
You are not the only person spending the festive season on your own. There will be many people in hospices and homes for the aged, for example, who won't have a single visitor. Pop in and see someone. Take a small gift, or some flowers, and you'll be amazed at the happiness this simple gesture brings – for both you and the person you visit. Or volunteer at a shelter or hospital. Seeing others in situations worse than yours will help to put a solo silly season into perspective.
Own your alone time
If you usually work long hours in a stressful job, a couple of days that you can dedicate completely to yourself – guilt-free – is a wonderful present.
Spend the day in your pyjamas, have a long bubble bath with scented candles, catch up on reading, write overdue letters and e-mails, snooze in the afternoon, get rid of clutter in your home… the possibilities are endless.
Make the connection
Even if you physically can't be with family or friends, you can, thanks to the wonders of technology, do the next best thing. Spending 15 uninterrupted minutes catching up with a loved one on Skype or over the phone will boost your mood for a long time afterwards. Research shows that spending time connecting with friends lowers stress levels and helps decrease symptoms associated with depression.
Just talking to loved ones can help us feel happier, have more patience and increase our tolerance for stress.
Get out and about
If you live in an area where it is possible, and safe, to go for a walk or run, do it. It is a great way to get rid of the blues – and the roads will be virtually empty. Even a brief walk at low intensity can improve mood and increase energy. As little as 10 minutes of aerobic exercise can have a positive effect.
Go on holiday – with yourself!
If you know in advance that you're going to be alone over the holidays, book yourself a getaway at a spa, game reserve, chalet in the mountains, cottage at the beach… anywhere you want to go. Spend time getting to know a new place, or revisiting a favourite spot. And if you haven't planned beforehand, there are always great last-minute deals to be had. Airlines vastly reduce the price of tickets if you fly on Christmas day, for example. Take the opportunity to explore somewhere new! - Daily News

I can't recall reading a more infuriating and out-of-touch editorial comment in the Springfield News-Leader than the Jan. 23 call for collaboration between pro-life and pro-choice advocates ("Let's use Roe v. Wade decision to collaborate").
In the final sentence of this warm and fuzzy piece of wishful thinking, the author opines, "We propose that focus on the Roe v. Wade anniversary shift to a genuine collaboration among all sides of this divisive issue to focus on finding a way to have fewer abortions and more loving, supportive families."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Dan Straily pitched three-hit ball for seven innings and Sam Fuld hit a rare home run to help the Oakland Athletics complete a three-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins with a 6-1 victory Thursday.
Straily (1-1) gave up one run and struck out five. The Athletics have gone nine straight games to start the season without their starter allowing more than three runs.
Fuld hit just his sixth homer in 738 career plate appearances and singled. Josh Donaldson also hit a two-run homer.
Mike Pelfrey (0-2) gave up six runs on nine hits and four walks in five innings. The Twins have had only one quality start in their first nine games.
Brian Dozier hit his third home run of the season for Minnesota.

Participate in one of three language program options in one of four cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vladimir, or Almaty. Moscow International University, located in central Moscow, prepares specialists in economics, finance, management, ecology, sociology, and foreign languages. American Councils places students in the MIU's Department of Russian as a Foreign Language. Herzen University, located in central St. Petersburg, is one of the leading education institutions in all of Russia. American Councils enrolls students in the Department of Russian as a Foreign Language. Vladimir's KORA Center for Russian Language Study is located in the historic "Golden Ring" of communities that have played a significant role in Russian history. The program offers undergraduate-level language programs, combined language training, and subject-area coursework in cooperation with a specialized "KORA" language training facility.
Al-Farabi Kazakh National University (KazNU) hosts the program in Almaty. While there is a growing national interest in speaking and learning Kazakh, Russian remains the country's lingua franca; all official information, as well a street names, road signs, and public announcements are produced in both Russian and Kazakh.
Most students enroll in the Russian Language and Area Studies Program (RLASP), which provides approximately 20 hours per week of in-class instruction in Russian grammar, phonetics, conversation, and cultural studies. However, there are two more specific, tailored programs that run concurrently with RLASP:
The Business Russian Language and Internship (BRLI) program combines a specially-designed curriculum for business Russian and a ten to twenty hour per week internship with a U.S. or Russian business in Moscow or St. Petersburg. Students will attend classes at partner universities, and take part in an internship on some afternoons and one full day per week. This program requires prior knowledge of the Russian language (typically six semesters, although four may be sufficient). All internship placements are subject to availability. The Individualized Russian Language Program for Heritage Speakers is intended to address the specific needs of students who speak Russian at home or with relatives, or who grew up speaking Russian and wish to strengthen their Russian skills. Program participants work with American Councils staff and host university faculty to develop a tutorial program serving their unique needs as language learners.
Note: the BRLI and Heritage tracks are only available at the St. Petersburg and Moscow sites. The Contemporary Russian and Russian Language Teachers Program are currently not IAP-approved tracks.

Growing up in England, I and everybody else were aware of the dreaded "Chairman's vote of confidence." When the Chairman of a soccer club's board of directors expressed every confidence in the club's manager, it was generally accepted that a firing was on the horizon. It is hardly surprising then, that during my early days as a foreign exchange broker in London, I was taught to view the comments of the bank traders who were our customers with a healthy dose of cynicism.
If somebody said "Have you heard about this big buyer that's lurking around..." for example, that was taken to mean "I'm long and would like you to spread a baseless rumor for me." In all honesty we sometimes would, but only if we had the same position. Looking for hidden meaning in the words of others, however, did have a benefit to me. It taught me to look for the real reason behind things I told myself.
For a trader that is an important trait, and if you are reading these pages, then to all intents and purposes you are a trader. You may consider yourself more of an investor, but if you are interested in individual stocks or are prepared to act on a view of the general market, then you are acting like a trader. Your time horizon may be longer, but your aims are the same... to buy low and sell high. In this context many of your reactions, particularly in times of adversity, will also be the same.
I found over the years that there were certain phrases that frequently occurred and that could be translated. More importantly, I learned to recognize when I was saying them to myself.
"This has to go back up sometime..." Translation: "There is no logical reason to expect it, but I have an irrational hope that this will bounce back." There is no reason that a stock should recover lost ground. Even if they do, holding a losing position in the belief that things will get better eventually has an enormous opportunity cost. If you are looking at a long position in IBM (IBM) this morning and find yourself thinking along the lines of "things will get better," then translate the thought and re-consider. Are you better off hanging onto a giant attempting a major transition, or would your money be better placed in another mega tech company that has prospects of growing revenue and profits; Apple (AAPL), say, or Google (GOOG)?
"It shouldn't be here..." Translation: "I know more than everybody else and refuse to accept reality." This is closely related to "This has to go back up sometime," but can also be used to justify taking a contrarian position for the sake of it. It is also, at face value, one of the dumbest things that we regularly tell ourselves. By definition, whatever the last traded price of a stock was is exactly where it should be; that was the price at which both a buyer and a seller were prepared to trade. Do markets overreact and occasionally misread a situation? Sure they do, but wherever a stock is at any given moment is exactly where it should be. Your opinion as to the future value of it is just that, an opinion. "It shouldn't be here" is particularly dangerous when used to justify hanging on to a losing position. If you can honestly make a sound case for a move up in the near future, then hold on, but "it shouldn't be here" isn't enough.
"I was going to buy that just before the announcement that caused it to jump 25%..." Translation: "I was aware of, or maybe even looked at, that stock before the announcement, but didn't think it was worth buying..." In a dealing room, as at a racetrack, "I was gonna" is one of the most frequent refrains. We can all look back with regret when we miss an opportunity, but convincing yourself that you were really going to buy something that you found good reason not to is a dangerous habit. If you do it often enough, then you will find yourself acting against you better judgment and muttering another oft heard phrase.
"I knew that was going down..." Translation: "I really thought that was going up when I bought it, but I was wrong." This particular bit of self deception can actually be a good thing. Convincing yourself that you knew it was a mistake to make a trade makes it easier to do the right thing when things go wrong; cut and look for another opportunity.
These are all things that I have heard traders say on multiple occasions. In fact they are all things that I have said to myself on multiple occasions and still do. When we say or think them, we believe them, but they all have one thing in common; they are a denial of reality. While understanding that cannot protect you from a loss, it can prevent you turning a small loss into a disaster, so it is usually worth translating your own thoughts and mutterings. If you find yourself giving a position the "Chairman's vote of confidence" understand that the end is coming, accept a small loss and move on.

When you worry about getting injured from running, walking or some other part of your fitness routine, you expect it'll be something major, like a wrenched knee or a sore back. Actually, an injury smaller than the size of a dime is more likely to take you down this summer.
I'm talking about blisters, those tiny, puss-filled hot spots that crop up on your feet, especially on the toes, heels and edges. Blisters are caused by friction and irritation, usually from something that scrapes against your foot. Some exercisers are more prone to blistering than others, but everyone is more susceptible during hot, humid and wet weather.
The best way to deal with blisters is to avoid them in the first place. Since I am insanely blister-prone myself, I have given blister prevention and maintenance a lot of thought. Here's my three point strategy:
Footwear that's too roomy is more often the culprit than shoes that are too tight, because your feet slide, rub and bump when there's extra space. I know some of you buy athletic shoes that don't quite fit right in the hopes you can break them in. Mistake, mistake, mistake! Shoes should feel comfortable from the instant you take your first step until the moment you replace them. They shouldn't require any stretching, padding or taping to make them wearable.
A properly fitting shoe has the same basic shape as your foot: It's wide where your foot is wide and narrow where your foot is narrow. There should be about a thumbnail's space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when you're standing with your weight evenly distributed and, when you lace them up, your foot should stay firmly in place without feeling like it's in a straightjacket. Don't risk buying if you feel even a single bumpy seam or raised stitch. Try several brands and models; there's no one right fit for everyone.
If you're a blister magnet, lace up using the traditional crisscross method until you reach the second to last eyelet then thread each end into the last eyelet on the same side to create loops. Next, crisscross one lace over the other and thread the ends through the opposite loop. Tighten and tie; this helps keep your foot from sliding around.

November 28, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) - Concerns are rising that the economic rebound is stalling, but a strong jobs report on Friday would go a long way toward assuaging those fears.
Conversely, a report showing private employers failed to create many jobs in June will amplify worries that the recovery is weakening and won't be strong enough to put many of the 15 million unemployed back to work anytime soon.
Economists will be eyeing private employers, who are forecast to have added 112,000 positions. That would be the sixth straight month of gains and an improvement from a weak showing of 41,000 in May.
But the unemployment rate is forecast to tick up to 9.8 percent from 9.7 percent. The report will be released Friday at 8:30 a.m.

Thread: Baby sleeping on his front
Baby sleeping on his front
Hi just need some opinions to see what peole think.
My son is 6weeks old and seems to only sleep on his front during the day he wnt sleep unless i lay him on his front, i no this isnt rele recomended so i always stay in room with him wen hes sleeping (Which is a pain as i cnt get on with things.) At night he is fine and wil sleep on his back in his crib i dnt hav a clue why he does this!! Deos any1 else hav this problem??
hello, i havent had this problem, but my friend has a 2 years old girl and when she was a baby she only slept on her front! my frient told the health visitor and she was told off, but she let her sleep like this anyway cos that was the only way she would sleep! everybody says that its not very safe but i just wanted to let you know its not unusual!
my son has been sleeping on belly in his cot since he was 4months old as rolled on belly everytime put on bk and he slept loads better
my daughter always sleeped better on her side still sleeps like that now age 2 my son sleeps on his front he is 5 months if i put him on his back he just rolled over so gave in and leave him just turn his head to the side to make surew he can still breathe ok
I find it funny, that most of us were put on our fronts to sleep as babies and we're totally fine, yet we worry as soon as our babies roll over and sleep on their tummies!
I'm sure he'll be fine, just make sure his head is turned to the side etc.
My son has been doing it since he was born, the HV said leave him too it, the way I look at it they left them to it years ago and had no problems (well of the people I asked)
Thank u all its put my mind at rest and i shouldnt be worrying as much as i do.
My DD slept on her side when she was a baby but both of my boys sleep on their fronts. I was so paranoid about it when my DS1 was a baby that I bought one of those sensor pads that go under the mattress to detect their breathing. My DS2 seemed to prefer it on his front from day 1 also so just used the sensor pad again. It gives me peace of mind and I can sleep well knowing that it's there. As soon as my DS1 was capable of rolling both ways I took it out from under the mattress and will do the same with DS2.
It's true what others have said though, all babies used to be put on their front to sleep and they didn't have the sensor pads then and there were no problems!
Both of my sons were awful sleepers until I realised they settled MUCH better and slept longer on their fronts. M 2 1/2 year old still sleeps on his front... some babies just prefer that. Just make sure to keep an eye on it... I'm sure it'll be fine
My DS has always slept on his side, he just won't settle on his back. I got told off by my HV but as I prop him up with rolled up towels (to waist level), I can't see what harm it can do. Maybe if you're really worried, can you turn your LO over on to their back once their asleep?
I agree with the earlier post though, the advice in the 70's & 80's was to lay babies on their tummies to sleep to avoid cot death. My Sister In Law lives in France and they're still told to lay babies on their tummies. We all know that the new research states sleeping on their backs is safest but it still doesn't mean that sleeping any other way means the worst will/won't happen. I think there are other, bigger factors that contribute to SIDS.
Enjoy the sleep!!
My 5mt old has slept on her tummy all the time since 3wks, she was so restless whenever we put her down, until one day when she was asleep on me, i transferred her to her cot on her tum, and she slept for ages.
I didn't look back as finally she was getting some decent sleep. she was very colicky, and i think she was more comfy with her legs up.
She still sleeps on tummy now.
I used a motion sensor mat. it goes under the matress and an alarm goes off if no breathing or movement for 20 seconds or something like that (a friend lent it to me), as was worried because they r supposed to sleep on back.
hannah sleeps on her side and has done since she was born and shes now 3 sam is the funniest he sleeps on his front with his bum in the air it was really cute when he was a baby but just looks really silly now he is nearly 5 lol
My boy sleeps on his front too since he was about 4 months if i can remember. I think as long as your baby can control her head it is fine for them to sleep on their front.
I remember myself at first i was watching him when he was sleeping on his belly making sure he was breathing.....how silly...first born
After about a week i stopped watching him though!
He is a happy 13 month old now and still only prefers sleeping on his belly
Im looking in to getting 1 of those sensor pads they sond a good idea! I was speaking to my cousin who is a social worker and she said aslong as my son sleeps on somthigd thats "breathable" like his crib matress andi keep a eye on him every now and again he should be fine as he can turn and lift his head!!
When my 2 year old, could roll over he would always sleep on his front and has continued to do so ever since. I had already purchased a sensor pad monitor before he was born and found I could settle much better because the alarm would sound if there was anything wrong. Luckily nothing did but when he started to wriggle around the cot he would sometimes move away from the pad and it doesn't half wake you in the middle of the night if it goes off. Well worth it though I still use mine will only stop when he moves into a big bed.
both my daughters (now nearly 2 and 4) slept on their tummies from when they were born. one health visitor told me off, so i made sure i'd pick the baby up before any HV came in!
they both still sleep on their tummies and as someone said previously, when most of us were babies our parents were told to put us on our tummies.
my dd always slept on her front. from what i hear, the health people change their minds every so often anyway.
my auntie has got 3 kids and was told different for each of them, so with 1 was told to lie them on their front, 1 on their back and 1 on their side.
MY LITTLE BOY is now 5 months and will only sleep on his belly...always done since day one..worried initially but we have had no problems at all

No city is immune to the tragedy of everyday life.
The residents of Yarnell, Ariz., suffered a tremendous loss Sunday when 19 of the area's most elite firefighters died battling a wildfire. The Arizona Diamondbacks play about 80 miles away from Yarnell in Phoenix, but the tragedy hit close to home.
The D-backs played the Mets at Citi Field in New York City on Monday, and both teams elected to honor the fallen firefighters by hanging jerseys in their dugouts with the No. 19 and "Yarnell" stitched across the back.
Check out photos of the jerseys below.

Late-night options slim, we settled on the only place that came to mind: My Canh on Broadway a few doors up from Sam's. To be honest, we weren't expecting too much from the nondescript storefront that was virtually empty save a large table of Vietnamese watching TV and playing cards. After ordering we were quickly inundated with spring rolls, pho, noodles, Vietnamese pancakes, and enough fresh herbs and bean sprouts to satisfy the hungriest raw food advocate. Though we'll admit that the meal was not on par with our favorite joints (the spring rolls turned out to be as dry as we feared), there were definitely some highlights: one of us was applauded by the staff for his pancake eating technique; the noodles were delicious; and, when the bill for three people was under $24 (the average price per item was $5), we had little reason to complain. - Kate Leahy

Mike Modano said Friday that he will likely decide on his NHL future in the next month.
"Not really in a rush to make a decision one way or another about what's going to happen," he said, "but I'll probably make an announcement in two or three weeks if I want to play or if that's it."
The 41-year-old spoke with media members prior to a batting cage session at the Dr. Pepper Ballpark in Frisco. Modano was taking part in a training camp for Saturday's Reebok Heroes Celebrity Baseball Game at the same venue.
The former Stars center said he has been "taking it easy" since finishing the 2010-2011 season with the Detroit Red Wings. The Dallas resident and 21-year NHL veteran said his off-season has been occupied with playing golf and taking vacations.
"As soon as the season was over I had about four or five days to unwind in Detroit and then came back down here," he said. "I've been down here ever since Memorial Day weekend or a little after. But this will be home."
Modano, who is participating in the game to raise money for The Mike Modano Foundation, also spoke for a few minutes about the tragic event that took place at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington Thursday night.
"Just devastating, just devastating," he said. "There's not much you can say to respond to it. It's just unbelievable situation for that to happen. Obviously Josh (Hamilton) is probably just torn apart. That will be something that is attached to him now for the rest of his life, so it's really difficult I'm sure to handle. It's hard to comment on it, but it's tearing the Rangers apart. It's just an unbelievable freak thing."

Expect a lot more articles like the following Detroit News Politics Blog post. Articles extolling the virtues of unions now that Detroit has fallen off the cliff into bankruptcy, exposing the results from the Democrat / Progressive Liberal / Union agenda:
Of course, no amount of productivity enhancement could dissuade the private sector from decades of attacking workers' rights for the sake of greater profits. Rick Snyder loves to talk about how Michigan (and Detroit) have been in decline since the 1960s. But as Michigan has declined, in tandem with the American middle class, union membership has collapsed. The funny thing about Detroit's glory days is that they coincided with a time when nearly half of working Michiganians were union members.
Where to begin, where to begin…
First, the off-cited claim evil corporations are squeezing the poor workers in a never ending chase for increased profits. Did you know, last year Ford averaged $3,533 per-vehicle profit before taxes?
Ford's pretax profit per vehicle reached $3,533 in the third quarter, which is probably a record, Shanks said. Consumers on average paid $700 more per vehicle in the third quarter over the year-earlier period, he said.
That might sound like a lot of money, however based on the billions of dollars they spend bringing a vehicle to market, the Return On Investment (or ROI) isn't something to write home about.
Next, the claim that Michigan's middle class 'declined' as union membership declined is, to put it mildly, a fantasy.
You will note in the above graph that Michigan's per-capita income only began to significantly diverge from the national average at the beginning of Jennifer Granholm's eight year reign of economic terror.
Lastly, our Detroit News progressive's corporation bashing reminds me of a funny picture floating around the internet during the Occupy Wall Street temper tantrum:
All those evil corporations providing products and services we couldn't make ourselves.

Cathaleen L. Miller
Co-manager, Jefferson County Board of Elections
Urban County Government Center
Louisville, Kentucky 40204
Re: Conflict Between Ballot Printing Deadline And Filing Deadline
Dear Ms. Miller:
You have asked what action the county board of elections should take in preparing ballots for precincts in which there are city races for which no candidate has filed.
Your question is prompted by two statutes that are in patent and irreconcilable conflict. The first, KRS 117.085(4), requires the county clerk to have election ballots printed 50 days before the election. The second, KRS 83A.045(2)(b)(6)(a), allows candidates for city office in certain small cities to file for office up to 30 days before the election. This provision applies to cities of the fourth through sixth class in which 1) elections are conducted on a nonpartisan basis without a primary and 2) no person filed candidacy papers before the general filing deadline in August. The statute essentially offers a second chance to file in cities in which nobody expressed an interest in running for office.
The conflict between these statutes creates enormous problems for county clerks and boards of elections. If you comply with the 50-day deadline, you incur the risk of having to reprint the ballots if a candidate later files for one of the city offices. In addition, the situation regarding the voting of absentee ballots is thrown into confusion. If you allow voters to cast absentee ballots as soon as the ballots are prepared, which is the standard procedure, then absentee voters will receive ballots that might not contain the names of all candidates to city office. Some voters would understandably be upset to learn that they missed the opportunity to vote for candidates who later lawfully filed for a city office.
On the other hand, if you comply with the second statute and withhold the printing of ballots until 30 days before the election, you will substantially shorten the time period during which absentee ballots are available. In all likelihood, an even greater number of voters would be upset to learn that their ability to vote by absentee ballot must be delayed because of the mere possibility that someone might file in a small city race.
The problem is considerably exacerbated by the fact that it is quite commonplace for no one to file for office in certain small cities. Therefore many counties could face the dilemma that has arisen in your county. We are aware that the printing of election ballots is a specialty service provided primarily by two Kentucky companies. If all affected counties were required to postpone the printing of ballots until October 4, it is doubtful that the printing for those counties would be completed quickly enough to allow a meaningful opportunity for voters to cast absentee ballots. Although it is impossible to predict how long it would take to print the ballots, we note that under normal circumstances the law allows 41 days from the filing deadline until the ballot printing deadline. KRS 118.215(1); KRS 117.085(5).
In resolving this dilemma county clerks should first ascertain whether the cities involved have actually enacted an ordinance adopting nonpartisan elections and waiving the primary. If a city has not adopted an ordinance, then its elections must be conducted on a partisan basis, and the 30-day filing deadline does not apply. KRS 83A.050.
For cities that have adopted the necessary ordinances, it is instructive to bear in mind the competing interests presented by the 50-day ballot printing deadline and the 30-day filing deadline. The 50-day ballot printing deadline operates to the advantage of voters who qualify to vote by absentee ballot, and of clerks who must prepare a complicated set of ballot layouts. Jefferson County, for example, requires the printing of 122 separate ballot styles. The 30-day filing deadline operates to the advantage of candidates for city office who have failed, for whatever reason, to file for office by the deadline that is imposed on every other candidate for public office in this state.
We believe that the relative equities presented clearly favor the printing of ballots according to the 50-day deadline. Any conflict between the rights of voters to cast ballots and the rights of a small group of candidates who have already missed one filing deadline should be resolved in favor of the voters. Therefore county clerks should proceed with the printing of ballots even though there is still time for some candidates to file for certain city offices. If a candidate later files for one of the city races, the clerk may reprint the ballots for the precincts within the affected city.
With regard to city voters who may receive an absentee ballot while the filing period is still open, we recommend that the situation be disclosed to them so that they may choose to withhold voting until all the candidates are known. This could be done by attaching the following notice when the absentee ballots are mailed:
Notice To Voters
Candidates for the office of _____ in the city of _____ have been granted until October 4, 1993, to file for office. Therefore, it is possible that this ballot does not contain the name of every candidate for that office. You may use this ballot, or you may return it immediately to the county clerk and request that an updated ballot be sent to you after October 4. If you use any part of this ballot, you may not change your vote if the updated ballot lists additional candidates.
Our recommendation of this procedure is prompted by the observation that a person who votes an absentee ballot before election day never has complete assurance that his ballot will exactly duplicate the ballot placed before the voters at the polls. Candidates may die, withdraw, or become disqualified at any time up until the day of the election, and voters at the polls are given notice of these changes. KRS 118.212. In such cases, absentee voters who voted for those candidates simply lose their votes. That is an unavoidable consequence of allowing the casting of votes by absentee ballot before election day. The procedure that we have recommended minimizes the problem by providing notice to absentee voters so that they may, if they choose, postpone the casting of their ballots until the extended filing deadline has passed.

Island View Bungalow
Terrific value, average food
What we say:
Tucked away within a coconut plantation on the west coast of Gili Air, Island View Bungalow offers excellent value for Gili Air. It has two chalet style rooms with air-con, hot water showers and good, comfortable bedding and a handful of A-frame bungalows that are equally well decked out. The restaurant is little more than a shack and the food isn't anything to get excited about — at all — but the drinks are cold and the guys who run the place very friendly. The beach out front is lovely and at high tide is a good spot for snorkelling with a good chance of seeing turtles. Ring ahead to check availability. Recommended.

TV Pick: Flintoff: From Lord's To The Ring
By Kiran Moodley 22 November 12
Aside from getting 2012's award for the most awkward pun, Sky's new documentary charts loveable cricketing loon Andrew Flintoff's temporary switch from cricket to the boxing ring. Given that the bowler had to retire from cricket in 2010 due to recurring ankle and knee injuries, its sounds like the worst possible remedy for a history of broken bones. Even if you think this sounds too much like Rocky Faking It, fingers crossed for his first go in the ring on November 30.
Flintoff: From Lord's To The Ring is on Sky One at 9pm tonight.

Arthur Frommer and his daughter Pauline spoke at the National Book Festival in Washington, DC this past weekend. They each gave a presentation about travel from their perspectives. Both focused on exploring alternative lodging — hostels, private homes and apartments.
Both the older and younger Frommer spent the bulk of their time discussing alternatives to staying in normal hotels when vacationing in order to save money. They also mentioned that changing the American paradigm of travel from a day here and a couple of days there to settling in one city for a week would also save valuable travel funds. In this day of higher airfares and low exchange rates, finding alternatives to the normal lodging options will save enough to make vacations affordable.
The Frommers are not the only ones preaching this approach. Vagabonding.com has written about staying in a private room in Paris. The New York Times noted that private homes were an option in the U.K. decades ago.
The organization that Frommer referred to most when discussing reservations at private homes was homeaway.com. He claims that this organization "boasts more than 75,000 properties in nearly 100 countries. The properties range from comfy condos to historic castles, expansive villas to basic bungalows and everything in between."
Another option is to swap homes. Frommer mentioned this as a perfect way to basically eliminate housing costs when overseas. One traveler, Tom Kilroy, who lives in San Diego has parlayed his home into vacations in Paris, Amsterdam and Costa Rica according to SanDiego.com. "With a home exchange, all you really pay for is airfare; you cook your own meals, make your own coffee. When you have to pay two euros for a cup of coffee and you like three cups each morning, imagine how much you save. Your expenses are down to nothing."
Frommer also mentioned hostels as an affordable place to stay for intrepid travelers. Many of us who traveled decades ago remember the youth hostels (or hostels) and the Youth Hostel Association. These kinds of large dormitory establishments with common showers and toilets still serve many younger travelers, however, the term hostel now also refers to more traditional hotel-like properties whose rooms have been reconfigured to hold four beds (two sets of bunk beds) that are rented out individually. The bathroom is then shared by only the occupants of the rooms rather than scores of travelers.
These days hostels come in all shorts configurations. Check out websites like hostelbookers.com, hostelworld.com or hostelz.com. Many of today's guidebooks such as Rick Steves', Rough Guides and Let's Go have reviews of the hostels and the Web is filled with social networking sites like tripadvisor.com that often rate hostels as well as traditional hotels. These hostels are no longer exclusively for the young backpacking crowd.
Taking advantage of alternative lodging options can make a big enough difference in price to allow adventurous vacationers to choose between being able to enjoy big-city living or a nice villa in the countryside rather than being forced to engage in a, heaven forbid, "staycation."
Given that choice, I'll take Budapest, Paris, Seville or Tuscany.

The foie gras story is not a pretty one. It paints a terrible picture of the food industry today – force feeding ducks to create a "delicacy". Celebrities such as Roger Moore, Sir Paul McCartney, Loretta Swit, John McLaughlin, and Pat Buchanan have spoken out against foie gras. Recently Chicago passed a ban on the item. California has outlawed force-fed foie gras beginning in 2012 (why so long?).
This inhumane practice, recently called "an industrialized form of torture",can be read more about on sites such as NO Foie Gras and GoVeg.com.
Sounds like people are becoming educated and it's making a difference. Sadly, people involved in the industry don't feel they are doing anything wrong. What's more, an operations manager at one of these plants, Marcus Henley, states that because of all of this publicity lately, sales are up. He believes the Chicago ban will actually help business.
See Roger Moore's video on foie gras – I'm sure not for the weak of heart or stomach. I personally won't be able to watch it, but here it is for those interested: Roger Moore exposes the "cruelty" behind the delicacy.

City repairing streets for the long haul
While the city pushes forward with a long-term solution to roadway deterioration on 14th and 15th streets west of Church, it can in the meanwhile remove excess gravel and temporarily patch the asphalt.
The Eudora City Council's consensus Oct. 13 was to go with the most costly repair option that also carries with it the greatest longevity, 20 or more years. The plan would remove the existing roadways and rebuild them with new curbs and add left turn lanes and sidewalks for an estimated nearly $500,000.
"To me, if we're going to do this, we ought to do it right," Mayor Ron Conner said.
Cecil Kingsley of the city's engineering firm said it made the most sense to put left hand turn lanes on both streets now to alleviate current traffic flow problems and to anticipate for increased southbound traffic in the future. He said the city also had the purview to assess property to pay for the sidewalks, which Conner said he thought would be more appropriate to do on 15th street rather than on 14th.
The Council agreed the project -- which could be done as soon as spring 2004 -- should be financed through temporary notes. City Administrator Mike Yanez said they gave the city fast cash but just four years to pay it off. That was why, if the city chose, it could refinance the temporary notes into general obligation bonds in the future.
In that way, Conner said, the city could lump this project with others it might have upcoming, such as an expansion of Church Street. He also estimated the mill levy might have to increase two or two and a half mills, depending on how much the city grows.
Council member Scott Hopson said to pay off debts for the project the city should look at a variety of solutions.
"We need to look at every option," he said. "Raising taxes ought to be the last option."
The Council agreed to pursue a Wichita firm as its financial adviser.

Novel #2 Publishing Deal
I signed contracts last week for novel #2.
It's a good feeling: a catherine wheel spinning around in the pit of my stomach - I may spontaneously combust before I get to the end of this post.
I'll be quick.
It's with Elsewhen Press ...
a UK based independent publisher specialising in Speculative Fiction.
Look here I am here!
And Elsewhen released a press release today here. Here's a snippet ...
Combining dark humour with a vision of the future that is almost an inverse of
the classic dystopian nightmare of 1984, Mike's latest novel follows in the tradition of great Speculative Fiction satirists such as Jonathan Swift.
The novel is called Blue Friday and is set in a dystopian society in the future where working hours are strictly controlled by the government: if you're married and work outside the hours of 9 to 5 you're punished: if you're lucky by Enforcment agents if not by the Family Protection Agency (FPA)- who will probably kill you. There is enforced viewing of family television, monitored family meals times and a coming of age where people reaching the age of twenty-five are married by the state computer if they have failed to marry. The novel follows Leviticus, the leader of the Underground Overtime Network who fights for the right for people to choose when they can work.
It's a whole different fish from The Ascent of Isaac Steward - with a clipped more cut down style. O and it has characters with great names like Mr Brittle and Mr Stone - you'll like them - not that you should mess with them mind: they are a little touchy at not being the protagonists. You've been warned.
I'm off to drink a lot of water: still the fire within.
Blue Friday will be published in a digital edition on 1 September 2012 and launched in paperback on the 10 November 2012 at the Novacon science fiction convention.
Picture above: scene from the book.

Although excellent for cut flowers, Continental's real strength is garden performance. The look of the blossoms is extraordinary and holds well even in bad weather. We suggest planting Continental with Tulip Queen of Night and Tulip Clear Water or Daffodil Thalia for abundance of contrasting colored blossoms. Bulb size: 12 cm.
