Cathedral High School has matched its record set last year of 11 students becoming finalists for the coveted Gates Millennium scholarship.
The students at the all-boys Catholic school were among 33 in the El Paso area to be named finalists. There are about 1,900 throughout the country who receive the distinction. About 54,000 students in the country applied for the scholarship this year.
The program, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, each year chooses 1,000 academically outstanding minority students with financial needs to receive a full scholarship to the college or university of their choice.
Gates scholars may also receive funding for a graduate program in computer science, education, engineering, library science, mathematics, public health or science.
Last year, 14 students from the El Paso area won the scholarship. Winners will be chosen in April.
Richard Barajas, director for the Center for Advanced Studies at Cathedral and retired chief justice of Texas' 8th District Court of Appeals, said he was pleasantly surprised the school had 11 finalists for the second year in a row.
Since the scholarship application requires students to write eight essays, Barajas said the key is teaching students to write with a passion about how they're going to make their community a better place, with an emphasis on social justice issues.
"We have learned to approach the Gates process as an opportunity to effect change in our international region," Barajas said. "Our student applicants rely heavily on what is happening in our community, not just to each of them. We tackled the difficult issues such as victimization, the healing process, poverty, literacy and even implicit bias and prejudice."
While Cathedral continued its Gates scholarship reign among El Paso area schools, Anthony High School in the Upper Valley this year had its first Gates scholarship finalist.
Adalberto Coronel, who is ranked first in Anthony High's senior class, said winning the scholarship would allow him to focus on academics free from the burden of repaying thousands in student loans.
Coronel, 18, said his dream is to attend Cornell University and study architecture.
"If I got the scholarship, it would mean that all I would have to do is go to college and do my best," Coronel said. "I wouldn't have to worry about covering the cost of anything."

Bobrovsky told NHL.com he's more confident on and off the ice, especially in one very important area -- his grasp of the English language.
"Yes, I think so," he said in his first extensive English-language interview when asked about his comfort level with the language. "I'm one year being here and I'm studying English, learning English."
He also said he learned a great deal about the North American style of play after one season. Not that he seemed to have much of a learning curve -- he stopped 29 of 31 shots in a 3-2 Flyers win on opening night in Pittsburgh, ruining the opening of the Consol Energy Center. He had a six-game winning streak and started the season 11-2-1.
Horton says he's healthy and readyMatt Kalman - NHL.com Correspondent
Nathan Horton says he's feeling no effects from the concussion he suffered in the Stanley Cup Final and is ready to go when the Bruins open camp. READ MORE ›
"I learned lots of things, lots of new hockey," Bobrovsky said. "It's different hockey between the KHL and NHL. Now I know what it means to play 82 games."
Bobrovsky earned the opening-night playoff start against the Buffalo Sabres and looked solid in allowed just one goal on 25 shots, but the Flyers couldn't put a puck past Ryan Miller in a 1-0 loss. After that, however, the Flyers' well-known goalie carousel began to spin full force. Bobrovsky was pulled in the first period of Game 2 and remained a healthy scratch until Game 7 of that series, when he returned to serve as Brian Boucher's backup. He replaced Boucher in each of the first three games of the Flyers' second-round series against Boston and allowed three goals on a total of 24 shots. He started Game 4 and allowed three goals on 25 shots as the Flyers fell 5-1.
Bobrovsky said what he'll mostly take from his first taste of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is the intensity of the games.
"After 82 (regular-season) games, it's a new season, it's the playoffs and it's more pressure," he said. "Everybody forgets about the 82 games and now it's new (playoff) games. It was all new for me. ... I got lots of experience from last season.
"I just think it was an experience for me. I learned something new."
One of the things he learned is how to withstand the rigors of an 82-game season. Bobrovsky said he started skating last July to prepare for the Flyers' rookie development camp -- and didn't really stop skating until the Flyers' playoff run ended. He admitted that he did get tired late last season, both physically and mentally.
"If you're tired in the body, you get tired mentally," he said. "Last season, yes, it was my first (North American) season, and it was tough for me. I don't know about 82 games. You play every day -- almost every day -- and it's hockey, hockey, hockey, lots of hockey. When I was in the KHL, it was a big difference. I'm more experienced now."
That experience has him feeling fresh as he heads into his second training camp.
"Last season I started on the ice in July before rookie camp," he said. "No rest. Now I come on Aug. 25 and now I'm preparing for the season. I start on the ice two months later, and it's a big difference."
There will be lots of differences at this year's training camp as opposed to last year's. Nine of the 20 players who dressed for the final game of last season's playoff run won't be back. Among the new faces is goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, who signed a nine-year, $51 million deal.
"I learned lots of things, lots of new hockey. It's different hockey between the KHL and NHL. Now I know what it means to play 82 games." -- Sergei Bobrovsky
However, Bobrovsky said he isn't concerned with anything other than making the team. With Bryzgalov, Bobrovsky and Michael Leighton, the Flyers have three goaltenders with NHL contracts.
"For me, it doesn't matter," he said of the team adding another goaltender. "If not Bryz, it would be somebody different. It's no problem for me."
Bryzgalov, a fellow Russian, is regarded as a workhorse who's played at least 64 games each of the last four seasons, including 69 and 68, respectively, the last two seasons as he helped the Phoenix Coyotes reach the postseason in consecutive seasons.
Bobrovsky said he hasn't spoken extensively with coach Peter Laviolette about expectations for the coming season, especially in regard to how many games he might play.
"We'll see," said Bobrovsky. "I don't know who Bryz, how he speaks, what kind of guy he is, (but) I think we will have (a good partnership)."
Regardless of how many games he does play, he said he has just one thing in mind for the 2011-12 season.
"We have one goal," he said. "(Stanley) Cup."

Everyday Life and Everyday Science in the Precolumbian Maya World
Lecture: Other UCB Archaeology | December 15 | 11 a.m.-12 p.m. | 100 Genetics & Plant Biology Building
Rosemary Joyce, UC Berkeley
The Maya of Mexico and Central America are much in the news, as we draw closer to December 21, 2012-- a date projected more than 1200 years into the future in their extraordinary calendar system. In this talk, we will look at how the Maya developed and used their calendars, using observational astronomy made possible through the use of written records employing one of the only two scripts in the world to develop a sign for zero. We will go further than simply appreciating their astronomy, math, and calendars: in order to understand the people who made these inventions, and whose descendants still occupy large areas of Mexico and Central America, we will explore the role of science and technology in everyday life in what archaeologists call the Maya Classic and Postclassic periods. From farming and water control, to medical use of plants, to knowledge of the behavior of ceramics, fibers, stone and metal, everyday life in Maya society was facilitated through thorough understandings of the properties of the materials available to people living in these tropical lowland environments. Far from predicting the end of the world, their recording of dates in the distant future was an expression of the pragmatic control that the Maya exercised over their world through their technologies.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Nevada casinos have won $864 million in September to post a 5.9 percent decrease compared with the same month last year.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board reported Wednesday that the Las Vegas Strip posted a 5.7 percent drop from last year with $491 million in winnings. Downtown Las Vegas winnings dropped 2.7 percent, and South Lake Tahoe casino winnings fell 14.4 percent.
Reno casinos saw an uptick, winning $49 million in September to bring in 2.6 percent more than a year ago. Elko County casinos also saw their numbers rise about 8 percent, bringing in $23 million.
The $51.4 million collected in taxes last month was a drop of 8.9 percent. Casino taxes account for about a third of Nevada's general fund revenues.

Speech recognition experts Uniphore have secured an undisclosed amount of funding, reports the Economic Times today. The investment comes from the Indian Angel Network, YourNest Angel Fund, and Stata Venture Partners' founder Ray Stata.
Uniphore make speech recognition tools for five international languages, but the Chennai startup's speciality area is India's numerous native languages – it has 14 of those covered. Like with Apple's Siri or Google Now, the software understands natural human speech.
The funding round for the six-year-old startup will help it expands to more countries and other languages – particularly those in the Middle East and Southeast Asia .
Unlike Siri, Uniphore's speech recognition savvy isn't being ploughed into a mobile assistant app. Instead it's designed to be deployed in areas like mobile-based social marketing, voice banking backed up by voice biometric authentication, and enterprise management. One example is Uniphore's mForce, which allows on-the-road workers – especially sales agents – to input new data (such as a sales lead) by talking into an app rather than fiddling with entering data into text boxes on their mobile screen.

Revenge of the Sith tidbits
The Star Wars Homing Beacon newsletter (#127) talks about the comic adaptation of the film and has some interesting SPOILERS about Revenge of the Sith. (Not sure where the newsletters are archived online).
Obi-Wan will fight General Grievous....
"Take the scene of Obi-Wan fighting Grievous -- that's greatly reduced in the comic, but Doug has kept the dramatic heart of it by putting the action in these really incredible, fluid panels. I've tried to keep the emotional aspect by paring it down to its essence: this is Obi-Wan trying to eliminate a deadly opponent, and he believes that once he does, it will bring about the end of the war,"
And Obi-Wan and Yoda realise what Darth Vader has done...
"The one scene Lane could not wait to see adapted by Wheatley depicts Obi-Wan and Yoda discovering the devastation brought about by Darth Vader, the newest Dark Lord of the Sith. "Obi-Wan knows that his Padawan is responsible for this," says Lane. "It's like a parent knowing that his child has become truant but not knowing the extent of the damage until it was too late. I tried to factor that in, Obi-Wan knowing his child was responsible for all this in the blink of an eye, and as a Master, he is responsible for his Padawan. It was done really lovely in the movie script, so I took that and amplified that for the comic."

Deputy district attorney Elliott Sattler talks with Bridgette Denison, mother of murder victim Brianna Denison, before the start of James Biela's murder trial Wednesday. / Marilyn Newton / RGJ
James Biela was full of smiles Wednesday May 19, 2010 before the start of the sixth day of his trial for the 2008 murder and rape of Brianna Denison. / Marilyn Newton / RGJ
Update at 5 p.m.: After James Biela was arrested, his girlfriend went to the Reno Police Department and met him in an interrogation room, said Det. David Jenkins.
On the video of that meeting, Carleen Harmon walked in sobbing, crying, with her hands on her head saying over and over: "Did you? Did you do it? Did you?" she asked, and then she walked to him and they hugged.
"Dont let (their son) forget me," he told her. And then he said several times that he's sorry he f----d up.
"Im sorry for everything," Biela told her. "Im sorry for being a f---- up."
Biela told her: "I don't want to be alive anymore," and told her he tried to buy a gun last week but was not able to.
Later, when Jenkins took Biela to the Washoe County Jail, Jenkins told Biela that he should not hurt himself.
He told us he was evil and he hoped his son wouldnt be f---- up like him," Jenkins said.
Carleen walked into the room crying, saying over and over "Did you do this? Oh my
God, did you? Did you?"
She walked up to him and they hugged. She continued to cry and ask if he "did this."
Much of the dialog is difficult to hear.
Biela asked, "Why did you lie."
"About what," she asked.
"(Name of son redacted)'s DNA," he said.
"Dont let (their son) forget me," he said.
He said he tried to buy a gun but wasn't able to. Harmon asked why.
"I was going to shoot myself," he said.
She cries more and they hug.
"I dont know," Biela said.
"His DNA matched," she said. "The killer?"
"I dont know," Biela said.
"Im not a piece of shit," he said. "I dont know what to do."
"Tell me the truth. Tell me. Please," she pleaded, crying.
"Im sorry I ruined your (?) and Thanksgiving and your birthday," he said.
"Your DNA matches," she told him.
"Theyll threatened to kill me tonight," Biela said. "Theyre listening right now."
"I dont care. Let them listen," Harmon said.
"I dont want to be alive anymore," Biela said.
"Please I need to know. Please," she pleaded.
"Youre going to leave. Youre going to leave me," Biela said.
"Please," she said.
"I cant right now," Biela said. "Theyre going to kill me anyways."
"Tell me. I can help you," she said.
"You cant help me. At this point it doesnt matter. Im sorry I f---ed it up," Biela said. "It doesnt matter."
"It does matter to me," she said.
"If I told you I did it you would still love me and be with me?" Biela asked.
"Fight, with what?" Biela asked.
"Im sorry," Biela said, hugging her.
"I better go," she said.
"Im sorry for everything," he said. "Im sorry for being a f--- up. It doesnt matter.
Im sorry."
Update at 3:22 p.m. If you drew a circle around the sites of the three attacks, it would be slightly smaller than 400 yards in diameter, a police detective testified today in the James Biela murder and sexual assault trial.
There was something about that neighborhood the offender either worked or lived in the neighborhood or had some connection with that neighborhood, Det. David Jenkins said of the University of Nevada, Reno area.
If he struck again, he would likely strike in that same neighborhood, Jenkins said, adding that they added more police patrols for that reason.
Photo Gallery: Biela Trial Enters Sixth Day
The October 2007 rape at the university parking garage, the December 2007 sexual assault near an apartment near campus, and the abduction of Brianna Denison from a university-area home in 2008 were linked in other ways as well, said Det. David Jenkins.
DNA evidence collected from the December assault and from a doorknob at the home from which Denison was taken matched, he said.
And after Denisons was found, a DNA link was made between the profile from the December assault, the doorknob and sperm taken from Denisons body, he said.
In the months that followed the discovery of Denisons body on Feb. 15, 2008, police received more than 5,000 tips in their effort to find her killer, and they collected hundreds of DNA profiles, he said.
In some instances, people came forward saying they thought their ex-spouse likely was the offender, he said.
More than 39,000 pages of documents were generated in the investigation of this case, he said. And state and federal law enforcement agencies from various parts of the country were involved, he said.
When police received a Secret Witness tip in November 2008 saying they should look at James Biela, police took notice, Jenkins said.
Biela allegedly had an interest in thong underwear, he drove a truck that matched the truck in the December attack, and his drivers license photo looked similar to the sketch provided by the October victim, Jenkins said.
You put all that together and this person shoots up to the top of the list, Deputy District Attorney Elliott Sattler said, and Jenkins agreed.
The location of the field where Denisons body was found was significant as well, Jenkins said. Biela had worked at EE Technologies, a business next to the field, and his girlfriend worked at a business that was a stones throw from the intersection next to the field, he said.
The detectives met with Bielas girlfriend and asked permission to take a DNA sample from the son she shared with Biela, and she agreed.
Biela was arrested Nov. 25, 2008.
Update at 2:28 p.m. She never would have left without her cell phone.
As the Reno police began investigating the disappearance of Brianna Denison on Jan. 20, 2008, they tried to determine whether she left on her own or had been abducted, Det. David Jenkins said today in the James Biela murder trial.
Jenkins said he met with Brianna Denisons mother, Bridgette, and concluded that the fact that Briannas phone was left behind suggested she did not leave voluntarily.
Ms. Denison described her daughter as not prone to unusual behavior, he said. Ms. Denison said she couldnt fathom her daughter could go anywhere without her cell phone.
Bridgette Denison also told the detective that her daughter was petite and was sensitive to the cold, he said.
She said she couldnt fathom her going outside at that time of year dressed only in a T-shirt and sweat pants.
After going through Brianna Denisons overnight bag, they determined that she wore a thin, strapped, sleeveless blouse with the word Bindi on the back, he said. She also wore a well-worn and stained pair of pink sweatpants, cotton, he said.
Left behind was a purse containing her wallet with credit cards and her drivers license, sunglasses, lip balm and lotion, Jenkins said. Her overnight bag had clothing and cosmetics, he said.
So she has no shoes, no coat, No telephone. No way to get around. Just gone, said Deputy District Attorney Elliott Sattler.
Thats correct, Jenkins said.
Update at 11:45 a.m. A police officer who arrived at the South Reno field where Brianna Denisons body was found testified today that it appeared that she had been there for a period of time.
There was decomposition, on the head and face, said Officer Victor Ruvalcaba, testifying in the James Biela murder and sexual assault trial. There was some deterioration of the skin tissues.
Forensic pathologist Ellen Clark testified yesterday that she could not say how long Denison had been dead. But during the autopsy, Clark said she found some materials in Denisons stomach that would have been consistent with the French fries and milk shake she had eaten at Mels Diner the night she disappeared.
Denison had gone to a concert in Reno on the night of Jan. 20, 2008. She and her friends went to Mels Diner and then went back to her friends house. Denison was last seen on a couch at about 4 a.m. and was sending text messages to her boyfriend until 4:23 a.m.
Her body was found in the field Feb. 15, 2008. Biela is charged in her rape and death, as well as two other sexual assaults.
Ruvalcaba photographed the body nude except for a pair of orange socks with yellow flowers -- in the field, and collected evidence, including two pairs of thong underwear. In court, he put on rubber gloves and pulled the thong underwear out of an evidence bag to show the jury.
The underwear had been cut into pieces so that investigators could analyze certain parts, he said.
While Ruvalcaba testified about how police removed the socks and put Denisons body in a bag to be brought to the coroners office, Bridgette Denison, Briannas mother, stood and walked to the courtroom doors. She paused, leaning on the wall, and then walked out, followed by several of her friends.
On the screen before the jury was a large photograph of Brianna Denison's legs, from the calf down, with the orange socks on her feet.
Update at 11:09 a.m.: After his worker came back to the office and reported he had just found something disturbing in a vacant field, EE Technologies manager Scott Ferris testified today in the James Biela murder trial that the two men walked out and retraced the workers footsteps.
Alberto Jimanez testified yesterday that he had spotted the body, later identified as missing college student Brianna Denison, near his business on Double R Boulevard in south Reno on Feb. 15, 2008, and walked back to the office to tell his manager.
Biela had worked at EE Technologies in 2002.
I walked up to the ditch and I got close enough 5 feet or so, and I looked down and observed what was basically a dead body, Ferris said. She was a young white female. She was naked except for socks. There was an old dead Christmas tree that was placed over the body.
Her body was flat on its back, he said, the face was pointed up to the sky.
There was no flesh on the face animals had been there, he said.
The rest of the body looked like a body, Ferris said. The face from the neck up looked different. You could see the teeth were very bright white. You could see the teeth distinctly.
Ferris said he took out his cell phone and called the police.
He also said he did not know Biela when he worked for the company. His employment with EE Technologies lasted only two to two and a half months, Ferris said.
Update at 6:58 a.m.: More testimony from detectives and crime scene investigators is expected today in the James Biela murder and sexual assault trial as the prosecution links Biela to the rape and strangulation of Brianna Denison in 2008.
The trial begins at 10:30 a.m. today because Judge Robert Perry must hear a list of criminal cases before the trail begins.
The prosecution is expected to call DNA experts and investigators who processed evidence collected when Denison's body was found in a South Reno field on Feb. 15, 2008. Yesterday, a forensic pathologist said Denison had been raped and strangled.
Biela is charged in the Denison case, and with sexually assaulting two other college students in late 2007.

Speaking Truth to Power: The Role of the Executive
Great leaders listen to messengers and encourage candor
By Jennifer Pittman
A culture of candor in which people are encouraged to speak out to a leadership that is willing to listen is fundamental to sustainable corporate success, according to James OToole, a research professor in the Center for Effective Organizations at the University of Southern California. Yet being candid with someone in power is historically riddled with danger as well.
The author of 14 books on leadership, individual growth and development in the workplace, corporate culture and philosophy, OToole was the keynote speaker at a recent Business and Organizational Ethics Partnership meeting held jointly with the California Strategic HR Partnership. He looked at the topic Speaking Truth to Power: The Role of the Executive, incorporating examples from his experience with high-ranking politicos as well as Fortune 500 executives some of whose ethical fiascos cost them dearly and others whose integrity and skill helped them navigate the wily power structures of success.
We have all experienced the tyrannical boss or parent and we know what its like to be attacked by an alpha dog, OToole said to about three dozen executives and faculty who participated in a lively discussion with panelists that followed. This is a challenge people really relate to.
OToole is also the Mortimer J. Adler Senior Fellow of the Aspen Institute and has worked in federal administrative positions relating to work in American and economic policy.
Evoking the ego-driven story of King Creon in the fourth century Sophocles play Antigone, OToole noted the same pride and arrogance of leaders that continues to trouble many present-day organizations. In the play, which most people know for its disturbingly cautionary tale about being a messenger bearing bad news, Creon stubbornly refuses to listen to concerns of his subordinates and, in the end, brings death to his family, ruin on himself and destruction to his country.
The play reminds us of the ethical and pragmatic necessity to move away from ego-driven dictatorial leadership cultures and create more sustainable open and communicative work cultures. OToole noted numerous examples of King Creons in the current day news, including current federal administration officials who failed to heed the warnings of numerous messengers before going to war in Iraq as well as the top executives in Fortune 500 companies who steadfastly have denied calls to action by people in their charge. Both at Enron and WorldCom, executives tried to alert company leaders of problems but were marginalized, isolated and scorned, he said. In the government, the same thing happened to people who spoke up against the line of power.
The reality, according to OToole, is that speaking truth to power can put people at great personal risk. The first thing King Creon did was to attack the loyalty of the messenger. Thats the first thing that always happens. Then there is the hubris of executive privilege, Im the boss so Im right. Beyond the ego, however, is the perception that listening may also have a price. Will it cost the leader his or her power to listen?
Human resources issues are some of the most taboo: the nature of working conditions, the purpose of the organization, the question of where priorities lie. It is the healthy work environments that continue to question, OToole said. How do you create that place where people will feel safe to speak up? ... How do you create situations in which people feel free to take initiative? And, how do you sustain it all?
Imagine the courage to tell Larry Ellison or Jack Welch something they dont want to hear, OToole pondered. What we need is a Lears fool, one person who has license to actually tell the boss the truth. Some have suggested that women are best-suited for that role because they dont have to unlearn the same egotistic behaviors as men do. The responsibility of the leader is to create situations in which people would feel free to take initiative. Yet everyone has a role to play.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about
things that matter.
Former CIA Director George Tenet was an honest, competent, civil servant in the Clinton Administration whose ego was wounded by the fact that he was never a White House insider. As the only high-level holdover in the Bush Administration, Tenet was understandably flattered when the new presidents inner-circle treated him as an integral member of its team. It is easy to see how Tenet would not want to jeopardize his status; nothing could cement his standing more than telling the other members of the team what they wanted to hear.
People with less complimentary news or contrary information such as former Treasury Secretary Paul ONeil, who often voiced dissenting views on the Bush Administrations fiscal policies, was not seen as a team player and he eventually paid the price for it.
Speaking truth to power requires more than simple truth-telling, according to research by author and Yale professor Stephen Carter. It requires clarity of intent to benefit something greater than the individual. One must be able to discern what is right, which requires moral reflection, and be able to act on a decision openly. A person of integrity is unashamed, OToole said.
In sum, before speaking truth to power can be considered virtuous,
the act must meet several criteria:
We all have a moral obligation to speak truth to power but its hard, OToole said. Just as difficult is heeding the warnings as a listener.
We teach our business leaders to be decisive, tough leaders. They are hired to make decisions. Were getting the kind of leadership our society celebrates, OToole said. Maybe were getting what we deserve. The way managers are trained, supervised and rewarded its predetermined to produce the kind of leadership we have today. The bottom line, however, is organizations get into trouble when they stifle debate.
Corporate culture would do well to look for more feminine versions of leadership proffered by leaders such as former President Gerald Ford who, while in office, surrounded himself with people with differing perspectives. He encouraged dissent in his inner circle. While not typical traits for our leaders, feminine virtues of humility, inclusion, vulnerability, service to others, and respect for people, are characteristic of truly great leaders.
While corporations and their boards need to initiate and support a new respect for traits that support candor, OToole said his research has not found this to be happening. More often, executives are selected for their most competitive qualities rather than their demonstrated teamwork.
Changing that system is the responsibility of boards of directors, the people who have the ultimate responsibility for choosing leaders. Truly independent boards also would go a long way toward providing a needed check on executive ego and a positive source of objective, disinterested truth to power.
Panel Discussion on the Executives Role
In a panel discussion about the role of the executive in speaking truth to power, participants considered the real challenges of speaking up that are inherent in most corporate cultures. The problem exists at most levels of an organization, according to panelists, and while the solution is to encourage open discussion, candor is not about consensus. Listening well doesnt preclude the need to make unpopular decisions.
The question is are you listening before you make the decisions? OToole said.
For service providers such as accountants and lawyers, the ethical challenge of speaking up occurs in relationships with superiors as well as with clients.
If you become too consensus-oriented you can become paralyzed, one panelist said. Someone ultimately has to step up to make a decision.
In reality, often times truthtellers are wrong, said Bob Finocchio, who serves as a board member of several companies. They think theyre right but theyre not, and very often you get conflicting truths. You have to make tough judgments. The difference about whether youre stubborn or visionary has to do with whether youre right. You have to get committed to a decision; otherwise nothing will happen. There is a danger of always being in truth-telling mode and always listening and not acting. It makes execution difficult.
There are also different management styles, Finocchio said, recalling a time when he clearly stated his negative assessment of a company plan and got the CEOs shoe thrown at him in response. Although it took him off guard, he knew he was heard, and in subsequent conversations, differing opinions were encouraged. It helps to get as much information as possible. You dont have to be pleasant all the time.
He was gathering truth in his own way, Finocchio said. After that incident, a new parent company came in with an entirely different corporate culture that hushed dissension and eventually shunned him from participation.
One seasoned lawyer in the audience recalled having his new high tech client yelling at him in a meeting and deciding later that it was actually a clear sign that he was being heard.
We have the responsibility to sustain the organization by helping to enable the best organization and people performance we can get from the company. I am looking for organizational obstacles. If it is something like harmful leadership, we have a responsibility for calling that out, said Eddie Sweeney, National Semiconductors worldwide human resources vice president.
Strong leaders, however, have to be able to create change in the organization, and that is often about creating pressure and making unpopular decisions that generate the climate for change.
We have to spend time having those crucial conversations, Sweeney said. Its not good enough to just call out that behavior. Weve got to change it somehow. Being heard is probably the most important thing.
Where the role of counsel used to be to serve the CEO, the world has changed and the client is not the boss or the board but the entity itself, said Craig Nordlund who serves as general counsel and secretary for Agilent Technologies. Its somewhat of a schizophrenic job. You dont always know what the big issues are going to be. The decisions you make on an everyday basis are often issues that seem small at the time but become big over time. You stand alone. You have to be prepared on any given day to lose your job. The last thing you want to do is find yourself in the position of rationalizing your behavior and figuring out how to skate around it. The public is expecting you to be a gatekeeper while your executive teammates are looking to you to be an advocate.
If the CEO is not sharing the truth with the board, he or she should be fired, Finocchio said. One strike and youre out. Its very important for a board to make sure it hears many sides and many issues. Some of those are unpleasant conversations, but the board members job is to make sure the truth is on the table.
The risks of speaking truth to power are particularly acute for those in professional services firms like auditors. They are the very "gatekeepers" charged with providing business leaders with clear assessments, warnings of risk and objective counsel related to accounting and internal control matters. These professionals know that the fastest way to lose clients could be to bring them conclusions or observations they don't want to hear. This gets doubly difficult when senior executive(s)' behaviors may be the direct or even indirect root of the company's problem.
Mike Strachan, vice chair and board member at Ernst & Young, clearly identified frictions. "Our firm and our profession have guiding principals and related standards for appropriate treatment for financial transactions, he said. It is important to our fiduciary responsibility to the Board of Directors to carefully and completely communicate our observations, assessments, judgments and conclusions. Although we are anxious to communicate in a constructive and supportive manner, it is most important that the realities and judgments related to the issues are not lost in translation."
There are, however, challenges if controls and processes are not in place. Sometimes an auditor loses business for the right reasons, Strachan said.
Scientific research by NASA has shown that in simulated disasters, the pilots who took a quick account of what their peers thought were much more likely to avert disaster than those who didnt ask for counsel and handled the situation on their own. Its very, very sound science, OToole said.

It can be a little tacky depending on how you use it. In my opinion, if someone plays the card to get sympathy or attention for personal gain- they're an idiot.
Sounds like you're using it the right way. Your intro might have been a bit strong, but at least we know who you are now. Be proud of being proud man!
I try to have conversations with guys at my day job about my experiences but it always turns into a bragging session somehow, or a pissing contest...to them. So I've really stopped for the most part. It's like they think nothing exists outside of their tiny world so, it seems like they think I'm full of it. I can laugh it off usually since they can't pronounce or point out on a map half the places I've been. Brad Paisley has a song out about that kind of thing- but a lot of people seem to love the song while missing the point. A few years ago this kind of thing irritated me, now it's amusing.
I've lived in SC for several years now and I'm still adjusting. I'm Hispanic so people are amazed to hear crisp, clean English coming from me. That's another amusing part of my world.

Cars and trucks once again are traveling on state Route 516, which has been closed for the past 19 weeks after the roadway collapsed just west of Dover.
Cars and trucks once again are traveling on state Route 516, which has been closed for the past 19 weeks after the roadway collapsed just west of Dover.
The highway reopened about 3 p.m. Tuesday, according to Becky Giauque, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Transportation's District 11. "We're very happy," she said.
Route 516 has been closed since late November, when a large portion of roadway between Bair Road and Josephine Street collapsed.
The collapse occurred when employees of Newton Asphalt Paving of Strasburg, who were dredging sand and gravel from the company's pond near Bair Road, got too close to the edge of the pond.
Because the dredging was too close to the edge, the toe of the slope started collapsing into the water, and it continued collapsing around to the Route 516 side.
Newton was required by the conditions of its Industrial Minerals Permit issued by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to reclaim and restore the property to its previous condition, which included stabilizing the pit along Route 516.
The company or its insurance provider paid for the repairs, Giauque said.
"Newton started work immediately pumping sand back into the voided area to create the protective fill needed to repair the site," ODOT District 11 Deputy Director Lloyd MacAdam said.
The repairs could not begin until the ground surrounding the road's right of way was stabilized. That work began on March 27. Newton worked six-day weeks to get the roadway reopened as soon as possible.
"Ever since this catastrophe occurred, Newton has been an exceptional partner," MacAdam said. "It's always been their priority to reopen this road to the public. They understand the inconvenience and worked extremely hard to minimize it. We never thought this much work could be completed this quickly. We originally anticipated an early summer reopen date.
"Reopening this road today is a statement to this contractor's resolve, dedication and determination. We are very grateful to them for their cooperation and hard work."

D.C. Swelters, But Nats Get HotMonday, July 2nd, 2012
The Washington Nationals emerged from Atlanta's heat with their second win in three games against their N.L. East rivals — unleashing an unusual offensive series against a team destined to be their biggest competition after the All Star break.
Nationals fans can breathe a sigh of relief over the 8-4 victory, in large part because it is now clear that third sacker Ryan Zimmerman has started to hit his stride: the former All Star and Gold Glover was 3-5 with four RBIs in Sunday's 8-4 win, which included Zim's sixth home run.
"I think I'm healthier than I was before," Zimmerman said after Sunday's victory. "You have a few good games in a row and your confidence gets going, and that's the name of the game. We've got to get some confidence, build momentum and just roll with it."
Zimmerman's break-out day (and series), supported the starting pitching of Gio Gonzalez, who picked up his 11th win against only three losses. While Gonzalez was not at his best, he was good enough to shut down the Atlanta offensve through five innings.
Ryan Zimmerman and Gio Gonzalez were not the entire story the Nats on Sunday, of course — with Craig Stammen, Sean Burnett and Tyler Clippard providing four innings of three hit ball to preserve the victory.
The Nationals ended their 10 game road trip at 5-5, but will have little relief when they get home: Washington is just as hot as Atlanta, and the Nationals will face the red-hot San Francisco Giants.
Those Are The Details, Now For The Headlines: It's old news by now, but it's still worth mentioning that Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Ian Desmond have made the 2012 National League All Star team — with Bryce Harper one of five who can be voted in by the fans.
Not everyone is pleased with the outcome, hardly a surprise given who was left out (you can make a good case for Adam LaRoche, for instance — who is stronger defensively than the ever popular Pablo "the Panda" Sandoval). Sandoval is surprised he ended up on the All Star team, and he oughta be.

Mission Improbable is a singleplayer mod for Half-Life 2: Episode 2. In it, Gordon Freeman is tasked with re-activating a Resistance listening post. From there, things quickly escalate.
Before reading on, please click here so that you can start your download! It's been a long journey to finish this project. With the first map being made and released back in 2009 and the second map being released in 2010, it has taken another 2 years for the project to be completely wrapped up.
Initially I intended to just create the final map and do some script and minor graphical upgrades to the previous levels, but while having a beer with Rick one day he suggested that he could help me out with some art to make the levels even more awesome.
"It'll only take like 2 months" he said "we'll make some new rocks and stuff, it'll be easy!" That was back in December. From then until now we've done almost complete rebuilds of the old levels, replaced almost all Half-Life 2 content with original art, and created 2 new levels as well! We have around 300 new textures being used in the mod, along with 300 new models.
It's a great feeling to finally be able to release Mission Improbable. It has been a lot of late nights and long hours to get it done, and we sincerely hope you'll enjoy playing it. In case your download hasn't finished quite yet, then you can take a look at the launch trailer below.
The download is STILL not done? Then check out this videoreview that Valvetime.net did! They reviewed a pre-release version of the mod, and awarded it an A-!

Good evening,
I've reached the map where you get passed a Combine sniper nest, then triggers manhacks when activating an elevator aside a train bridge.
There's one of the two yellow security gates which doesn't open after the elevator get down, any idea?
Edit: There -> magnarj.net/images/mimp/mimp23.jpg
I used cheat code "noclip" to go through the lift gate and then disabled it.
Have had the same problem. I guess, the three hunters should come also (according to the walktrough videos on youtube), but they didn't come. I think it's a glitch :(
This mod is awesome, but there a few bugs:
At first, the game can't load up because of a problem with the background image. I did hashirrocks' fix, but there were there other things too. The launched rpg rocket and crossbow models are ERRORs, and this is not as big of a problem, but the car shoots the tau cannon from the side. The worst of all is the elevator at the depot bridge, where the gate doesn't open. Would someone please help fix these so this wonderful mod can be enjoyed?
Did you fix the problem? If you didnt, I had the same problem, I just had to noclip the whole elevator thing, Which sucks.. Also, I couldn't see those those models myself.. I hate this bug..
P.S: My name used to be HashirRocks! xD
I dont think it has anything to do with missing files, Cuz if you load up HL2:Ep2, I doubt you will see error on crossbow and stuff.. Its just a bug, Thats all. Nothing you can do about it, Just the mods devs can..
This game, at first, Gave me the error message saying that it can't find background image/materials/console/startup_loading.vtf, Then, When I tried the suggestion about changing the gameinfo.txt, It loaded movie at the start, But then it crashed/went to the desktop. I would really love to play this mod, And I hope the devs reply to me soon...
I fixed it! none of the solutions listed here worked for me, so I added the following text to Gameinfo.txt:
game "HALF-LIFE 2 SMOD"
title "HALF-LIFE 2 SMOD"
type "singleplayer_only"
"icon" "smodicon"
SteamAppId 220 // This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2).
ToolsAppId 211 // Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.
Game |gameinfo_path|.
Game hl2
game_lv hl2/hl2_lv.vpk
game+mod hl2/hl2_sound_vo_english.vpk
game+mod hl2/hl2_pak.vpk

platform |all_source_engine_paths|platform/platform_misc.vpk
gamebin hl2/bin
game |all_source_engine_paths|hl2
platform |all_source_engine_paths|platform
I noticed that you could not start a new game if you placed the previous code in Gameinfo.txt. So I did a little editing and it worked! Replace all the code in Gameinfo.txt with the code listed here:
Sorry, The previous link is wrong, It doesn't fix it, this is the link:
yeah that fix has been around since last year. Its why the vast majority of mods don't have any special fixes. So far Provenance has one major bug with marines unable to be killed by the player, Triage/Human Error/Missing Information require extracting hl ep1 and ep2 files, City 7 Toronto conflict has a broken scripted sequence in the beginning (making you skip the map and missing a fight) and Black Snow doesn't work at all among others.
Highest Rated (8 agree) 10/10
It's like an Expansion Pack for HL2. And it's not one of those cheap Mods, this campaign is so good it could've been in the original game.

When we were initially told the news (probably the same night as other websites reporting this), we checked in with Bousman who still denies that he will have anything to do with the return of Pinhead. Even though the director of SAW II-IV claims to have nothing to do with the project, insiders tell us the Weinsteins WANT HIM on the project ASAP. This would re-team Bousman with SAW writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton. Watch or an update soon on something that's official. Bousman is currently prepping REPO!

(CBS) PONTIAC, Mich.- A 2-year-old boy was found sleeping in a locked vehicle with a crack pipe and a juice bottle containing alcohol on Saturday, CBS Detroit reports.
Police said the child's 48-year-old aunt arrived at the scene later and told investigators that she had been with the child's 44-year-old mother, who had run out of gas. Instead of finding gas, the mother left the vehicle and her son in search of drugs, the aunt told investigators.
The boy was unharmed and police left him in the custody of his father.
After being questioned, the aunt was released pending possible child neglect charges. A warrant will be sought for the mother's arrest, officials said.
No names have been released, CBS Detroit reported.

so, I have a few questions about LAME 4.
1. Who's developing it? LAME devs? Or wasn't some Japanese guy doing it?
2. If it's the future, why are other LAME versions being released?
3. what sort of quality will it be? from what I've seen, it's supposed to be really fast... which is nice, but that wouldn't matter if it's quality were not as good as 3.90.3
4. when will it come out?

The current TODO list from the LAME 4.0 source:
encoding core:
LAME has problems with test signals.
1. pure DC input.(i.e. a square wave with a frequency well below 20 Hz)
2. sin sweep signal (i.e. 20Hz->22kHz in 60sec)
3. steep/saw wave (i.e. 100Hz)
Seems not very important, but they are related to "REAL" problem of
some kind of music. 1 and 2 are caused by ATH handling problem.
3 is by short block threshold problem.
To prevent the lower frequency uncertainness (because of FFT length),
we should add the some highpass filter(cut < 20Hz or so) before
Some switches to support the "BUGGY" decoders.
--strictly-enforce-ISO is not perfect to these players.
--sameblock : forcing to use coupling block type (implemented),
for some DVD players
--lesserixmax : reduce IXMAX_VAL (not yet), for old winamp.
it seems we do not need --noscfsi or --noscalefac options. That's good news.
short block encoding quality problem
At the high frequency region, LAME4 increases the threshold too much.
And more the worse, there's sfb21
Tag problem.
Still there're some tag problems between VBR(LAME) tag and MS-Windows.
Clipping detection/replaygain tag is supported LAME3.x, but LAME4 does not.
low bitrate quality problem and better intensity stereo support.
and LAME4 should support i-stereo even when MPEG2 Layer3 (currently not).
Note: mpg123 (and all derivatives, like xmms and lame/mpglib)
have bugs in the intensity stereo decoding. Bugs have been there
for years since there are very few intensity stereo mp3's out there.
We should rewrite all the documentation, such as INSTALL, README*,...
Tuning reservoir handling (especially for low bitrates); CBR arround
90kbps (-b 90) is worse than VBR quality 7 (-V 7). This is probabry
because of poor resorvoir handling.
Right now the code is tuned with the LAME3's pe calculation and
psymodel. Now they are all changed and we should re-tune these code.
2-pass VBR/ABR will perfectly solve the problem, but before it,
we should improve the 1-pass encoding.
And about ABR, it should be removed and new "VBR but some constant bitrate"
algorithm, IMHO.
over 2^31 byte cleaness (especially header handling).
LAME has a 31 point FIR filter used for resampling, which
can also be used as a lowpass. When resampling is done,
use that filter to also lowpass instead of the polyphase filter.
Even when resampling is not needed, should we use an FIR filter
for the lowpass? If it is not too much slower, yes. If it
is slower, then it should be an option since it will produce
higher quality.
better highpass/lowpass filter:
We need to first replace the polyphase filter with an FIR filter.
And setting highpass filtering to enhance the playback frequency range.
Replacing the resampling code of ssrc (Shibatch sampling rate conv.)
will bring better result. But ssrc only supports some specific frequencies.
So we should use both of ssrc/old resample code...
mp3x does not work at all when the input is too short.
mp3x cannot display subblock of short blocks correctly.
Better tonality estimation.
Nspsytune seems to miss tonals when several of them are too narrow.
maybe nspsy2 based model will solve it.
Use mixed blocks.
Merge GOGO's fast assembler routines.
decoding support.
mp3 decoding is not reentrant nor thread safe.
mp3 decoding support code has poor error recovery.
mgplib has bugs with i-stereo. flag denoting invalid
i-stereo value (= frame is m/s stereo) is not correct.
modify mpglib to output floating point and have finaly quantization
step a easy-to-change module so it can output other than 16bit.
(replace mpglib with MAD? MAD has agreed to write a call back
which will return all data needed by the frame analyzer)
NOGAP encoding:
-nogap: more testing, fix options, test id3 tags?
Can we change id3 tags without reseting the encoder??
At the end of encoding 1.wav, call lame_get_mf_samples_to_encode()
to find the number of non encoded buffered PCM samples. Then
encode samples from 2.wav until these PCM samples have been
encoded, *THEN* call lame_encode_flush_nogap() and close
out file 1.mp3.
NOGAP decoding:
lame --decode --nogap file1.mp3 file2.mp3 file3.mp3
should also work. What needs to be done:
get_audio.c: We need a way to open a second mp3 file, without
calling lame_decode_init() and reinitializing mpglib.
And the mpglib needs to know to look for new Xing
tags at the beginning of file2.mp3 and file3.mp3.
frontend code:
raw file format and options.
--signed, --unsigned, --little-endian and --big-endian do not work correctly.
Code is a complete mess. But it has so many debugged features it will
be a lot of work to re-write.
It would be nice to save some information whilst encoding when
wave <-> mp3
a RIFF/wave can contain LIST chunks with information
about author, title, etc.
id3tag in mp3 can contain these information, too.
auto converting each of them may be good.
Build environment
1. MSVC .net solution files.
2. more 64 bit environment support.
3. check the "HACKY and FAST" code on many environments. They are
really fast, but are not confirmed to run on all environments.
4. NASM version check. LAME4 needs nasm 0.98.38 (or maybe upper).

I am a published sewing and quilting author with several books and many magazine articles to my credit. My most recent book, How to Make a Quilt was published in August 2014 by Storey Publishing. I've written two other successful books for them-- The Quilting Answer Book and The Sewing Answer Book. I learned to sew from my great grandmother, two grandmothers, and my Mom when I was barely in grade school and I've been sewing ever since. I added quilting to my repertoire in the 1980s and worked for a major quilt book publisher as Managing Editor and then Editor-in-Chief for 5 years. Now I have my own business, designing quilts and tote bags and anything else that strikes my fancy. Go to www.joyofsewingandquilting.blogspot.com to see my projects and whatever else I'm up to. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find something you'd like to make in my Craftsy store!
Contrasting "ribbon" bows tie up these crayon-colored hearts in a quilt that's sure to please as a gift for a newborn. Use as a wall hanging or lap quilt for a nursery or child's room. Or, make it in your favorite fabrics and colors to commemorate a special anniversary or a wedding, or make it just because you love quilts with hearts!
For a baby quilt, change the center heart and the borders to a gender-appropriate color for the newborn as needed. For an anniversary or wedding quilt, choose the couple's favorite colors. It's the perfect way to use up scraps, too. You might want to use all the blues or all the reds in your collection for the hearts and bows and add white for the background to make a scrappy two-color quilt with this design. Or, try it in bright batiks or soft pastels. The options are as endless as your imagination and your stash.
You can use this as an album or friendship quilt, too. The ribbon bands on the hearts are wide enough for a signature, so this quilt would be a wonderful "family tree" or shower gift. Have family members or shower guests use a permanent marking pen to sign each of the blocks. Write the baby's name and birth date in the ribbon band of the large heart. You can add the parents' names to the bow streamers if you wish.
The hearts are easy to applique using your favorite method. I suggest using fusible applique for the bows on the small hearts since the pieces are small. If you choose fusible applique for the hearts, I recommend using the "Window-Frame Fusible Applique" method included in the pattern so the hearts do not become too stiff.
The multi-colored sashing is quick and easy to make using simple strip piecing. Add a hanging sleeve to the back of the finished quilt and don't forget to add a special label to identify the maker.

Oct. 6, 1896, and was then spread throughout the U.S.
3. The first steamboat was launched by James Rumsey in the
Potomac River at New Mecklenburg (Shepherdstown) in 1787.
4. A variety of the yellow apple, the golden delicious,
originated in Clay County and the original grimes golden apple tree
was discovered in 1775 near Wellsburg.
5. Outdoor advertising originated in Wheeling about 1908 when
the Block Brothers Tobacco Co. painted bridges and barns with Mail
Pouch tobacco ads.
6. The first free school for blacks in the South opened in
Parkersburg in 1862.
7. The first brick street in the world was laid in Charleston,
on Oct. 23, 1879, on Summers Street between Kanawha and Virginia
8. West Virginia's first governor was Arthur I. Boreman, who
served from 1863-1869.
9. The state's first capital was in Wheeling.
10. On June 3, 1861, the first land battle of the Civil War was
fought in Philippi.

3 Definition(s) from various sources:
sindhu : (m.) ocean; a river.
Sindhu (सिन्धु): The Indus River, Urdu دریائے سندھ; Tibetan: Sengge Chu ('Lion River'); Persian: Hindu; Greek: Sinthos; Pashto: Abaseen ("The Father of Rivers"); Mehran (an older name)) is the longest and most important river in Pakistan. Originating in the Tibetan plateau in the vicinity of Lake Mansarovar.
A river in India; one of the most important of those that flow from the Himalaya (Mil.p.114).
The best horses were born in the country around its banks (AA.ii.756; MA.i.248), hence their name Sindhava (J.v.260 (22); cf.ii.290). Seri was king of both Sindhu (Sindhavarattha) and Sodhika (? Sovira) (SA.i.90).
Mention is made (VvA.332) of merchants from Anga and Magadha going to Sindhu Sovira and passing through great wildernesses on the way. The Sindhava are mentioned in the Apadana (Ap.ii.359) in a list of tribes.
The Sindhunadi is the modern Indus.
Isidasi was once born as a goat in Sindhavaranna. Thig.vs.438.

Deirdre's House
Formerly "The Deirdre O'Brien Child Advocacy Center"
What is Deirdre's House?
Deirdre's House is the Center in Morris County for child victims of abuse and/or neglect and for children that have witnessed domestic violence.
Established in 1994, Deirdre's House is the only site in Morris County where a child victim can be interviewed and digitally recorded by law enforcement, medically examined and treated by a pediatric abuse specialist, prepared for trial, and clinically counseled in English or Spanish----all under one roof. As a nationally accredited Child Advocacy Center (CAC), Deirdre's House provides a comprehensive multidisciplinary team response to allegations of child abuse in a dedicated, safe, secure, child friendly setting. Morris County's multidisciplinary team approach is a collaboration of Deirdre's House and
What does Deirdre's House mean to a child victim?
It means that a child victim will not have to be interviewed and processed at a police station, examined in a hospital emergency room, and counseled at yet another location. It means that an already badly traumatized child will not be retraumatized by the very system that is trying to assist them. It means that free, state of the art care is available on an immediate basis, because the longer a child victim waits for treatment the less likely they are to fully recover from the trauma they have experienced. Most importantly, it means that a child's life may be altered by abuse, but not defined by it.
A message from Jim O'Brien:
Jim and Georgia O'Brien, parents of Deirdre O'Brien, have worked tirelessly to advocate for crime victims for over 20 years. Jim served as a Morris County Freeholder, and served on the Deirdre's House Board of Trustees until appointed by Gov. Whitman to serve as Chairman of the Victims of Crime Compensation Board in 1996, shortly after Deirdre's House opened. He rejoined the Board in 2001 and has been an integral member since.
Georgia became a volunteer at the Center and was later appointed to the Board of Trustees, serving as secretary. She then became Board President and served in that post for 3 years. Today she is still on the Board as a non-voting member. In October of 1996, the Board of Directors of the Center for Evaluation and Counseling honored Georgia for her courage and advocacy work for victims of crime, mainly in the area of child abuse.
My daughter Deirdre was a talented artist. She graduated from Seton Hall University where she majored in Art History. In 1982, at the age of 25, Deirdre was abducted, raped and murdered by a serial murderer. Her killer was caught, convicted and sentenced to two 30 year terms in state prison.
In the winter of 1994, then Prosecutor Michael Murphy and Assistant Prosecutor Karin Kelly-Weisert approached me regarding the possibility of opening a Child Advocacy Center to serve the children of Morris County. I was at the time a member of the Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the president of the Statewide Coalition of Crime Victims. They presented a plan for a child advocacy center for abused children and asked me for help in securing a location for the center. With the cooperation of the Freeholder Board, the county purchased the house at 8 Court St. in Morristown and gave a long term lease to the newly formed non-profit center. Shortly after, the Freeholders asked my family to allow the center to be named after Deirdre in honor of our work on behalf of the victims of crime in NJ. After securing $100,000 in much needed donations to renovate 8 Court St., the Center was opened in April of 1996 with then Gov. Christie Whitman officiating at the ribbon cutting ceremony. Our doors have been open for over 10 years and we have served more than 13,000 of Morris County's child victims.

Great vet!
posted 7 years ago
Since I've lived here I've taken my dog to this vet, they have always been very friendly, treated me and my pet great, didn't make me feel stupid when I came in worried over a very small thing, I would recommend this place to anyone.
Pros: everyone is very friendly and helpful!
Cons: one of the doctors is lacking in bedside manner, especially for worried dog-moms like me..

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Running Onto The Japanese eShop
Posted by Orla Madden
Game Gear returns
The Game Gear version of Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is coming to the Japanese 3DS Virtual Console next week. It'll be available for download on 31 October for 300 yen, so gamers in Nintendo's homeland can give themselves a treat this Halloween.
This 8-bit version of the game was also released on the Sega Master System featuring different level designs; you can read our review of that version right here.
This release is yet to be confirmed for Europe and North America, though we see no real reason why it shouldn't arrive at some point in the future. Do any of you remember playing the original, or is it on your wishlist?

Zero1.tv debuts VooMote One iPhone remote case
updated 08:00 pm EDT, Mon July 25, 2011
Easy-on, easy-off universal remote
Zero1.tv has introduced the VooMote One, a snap-on casing available for the iPhone 4, iPod Touch or iPhone 3GS into an infrared universal smart remote control, able to control thousands of different brands and models of infrared-based products. Using an app from the App Store (free), the iPhone or iPod Touch can offer customizable controls and the ability to "chain" commands together to a single button function.
The VooMote One is similar in functionality to the SURC case now available, in terms of using a slim casing to add an infrared signaller to the top of the iPhone or iPod Touch, but offers its own differences -- including being designed to easily be taken on an off, with the case left at home rather than doubling as a full-time protective covering.
The VooMote offers a "One View" main menu where users can set up "rooms" of the house where the consumer electronics devices are located and show only controls for the devices in that room. Like the SURC, it can "learn" from previously-set-up remote controls about new devices, or draw from its database of more than 30,000 infrared codes.
The VooMote One will be available beginning August 5th at Best Buy and the company's website. The app requires iOS 4.0 or later, while the hardware will cost $99.
