Reliable Universal Connectors
We offer a broad set of USB connector technology solutions for I/O devices, including keyboards, mice, gaming systems, audio, printers, scanners, joysticks, and mobile or telecom devices.
TE's connector system accommodates the two deferentially driven data wires that provide bi-directional, simultaneous signals for full speed (12Mbps) or low speed (1.5Mbps) used in universal series bus (USB) systems. Designed for outside-of-box, user-friendly applications, the TE system consists of a single, four-position board-mount receptacle and mating cable mount overmolded plug. Board-mount receptacles are available in standard, Type B, stacked, and side-by-side configurations, adding to the system's versatility to meet the needs of many USB applications.
Product Options
USB Type-C Connectors
USB Type-C is the new standard plug or receptacle providing a multi-function, single cable solution for USB, power, and audio/video. Small enough for mobile phones, the USB Type-C connector is also robust enough for laptops and tablets, making it the unquestioned connection technology of the future, across all devices.
Micro USB 2.0 Connectors
TE's micro USB connectors are mostly used in mobile devices and are the smallest connector series in the USB family.
USB 3 Connectors
TE's USB 3.0 connector supports a five gigabits per second (Gbps) data rate for fast syncing on the go—a 10x performance increase over USB 2.0.

eBay has tickets for between $3,000 and $12,000 as of Wednesday. Many of those have received hundreds of bids, and prices could climb even higher as the game day approaches. Ticketbis, another ticket reseller, is offering them for as much as $6,500, while Viagogo, the global market for ticket resales, had them listed for between $5,000 and $20,000 earlier this month.
Tickets to Sunday's game have a face value of between $440 and $990, depending on seating location, and FIFA says that demand for Sunday's game is ten times that of capacity. Maracana holds up to 75,000 fans. But jacking up the price of tickets on the secondary market is illegal in Brazil.
That country has a long-standing law against scalping. Known as "the Fan Statute," it's a criminal offense to supply a ticket for more than its face value.
Fans are being warned of risks for buyers of scalped tickets, such as ending up with fake tickets or not getting their tickets at all. FIFA is even warning that it won't honor scalped tickets at the gate.
A lot of the demand for World Cup soccer tickets has come from an unusual place this year -- the United States.
While the sport still lags behind baseball and the NFL in popularity, more Yanks are following soccer -- or football -- as it's known in most places.
According to Viagogo, the United States has been the second-largest market for ticket sales for this year's games. The company attributes that largely to the proximity between the U.S. and Brazil and to soccer's increasing popularity in the United States.
In fact, ticket purchases by Americans have outpaced those in several countries where football is by far the most popular sport, including Argentina, Mexico, Portugal, France and Italy.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Flatwoods (disambiguation).
Flatwood is a soil series with impaired drainage that occurs in the southeastern United States. Flatwood soils are upland soils formed from marine sediments. A shallow water table plays a role in soil formation, typically the water table is only a few feet deep and fluctuates during the year.[1] Flatwood soils are classified in USDA soil taxonomy as fine, mixed, semiactive, mesic Aquic Hapludults.[2]

How To Investigate a Flying SaucerFeatured Story Read More
CIA's concern over UFOs was substantial until the early 1950s because of the potential threat to national security from these unidentified flying objects. Most officials did not believe the sightings were extraterrestrial in origin; they were instead concerned the UFOs might be new Soviet weapons. Still, we know a thing or two about how to investigate a flying saucer.

This is the Agency's only work by Gene Davis, one of the most noted of the Washington Color School artists.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Jake is an older puppy, about 5-6 mo. old now. Found recently in a high kill rural shelter but some
nice ladies who had came in to Rescue cats. They heard that Jake's days were numbered and couldn't bear the thought of him losing his life before it had hardly began. One volunteered to be his foster mom while the Rescue looked for a new family for Jake. He's been good with the other dogs and children. Working on his house training.
Jake's adoption fee is $275 to help cover the medical expenses of getting ready for adoption.
For more information or our online adoption application, please email email@example.com
Include your location and a phone number for future communication.
Jake, a Germantown Rottweiler/German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rottweiler/German Shepherd Dog for sale in Germantown, or seeking a Rottweiler/German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Germantown.

I would've been.I would've been a masterpiece if it wasn't for the tear,
I don't know why I tell you this, it's not like you care.
I would've been a legend if it wasn't for the time,
Age of heroes has come and gone, all I can do now is rhyme.
I would've made something of myself, if I'd had the motivation,
But now, I just lie in wait, awaiting even more degradation.
I could've been someone, or something, I know I could,
But right now, it's all talk, all "Could, should, would."
Then there's that "if" or that "but" getting in the way,
I could've been a masterpiece, but here I am, rotting away.
No one even gives me a second glance,
I'm not a famous one like Rembrandt's.
I could've been a masterpiece if it wasn't for the tear,
If only the people looking after me had taken more care,
I could've been perfect, and remembered forever,
But now I am just a portrait, of the Forgotten Reaper.

I added ABSOLUT RASBERRY Vodka instead of the rasberry liquer for an extra kick and it tasted great! Thanks KristaR68.
I added one oz. of vanilla Stoli and upped the lemon lime soda just a bit. I like my drinks a little stronger. Nice change from your average sex on the beach.
I added 1/2 cup of vodka and the flavor remined the same.

Ignoring comments about my weight has become a lot easier because I have realized that they simply don't understand what we go through.

Sparks people were there for me when I couldn't talk to my family or friends about the last few weeks of my husband's life. I knew he was bad, but kept up a good front to everyone but spark friends. This kind of morale support was priceless to me. Thanks to everyone.

There are tons more positive on this site, than negative. In fact, it's gives me hope for whatever negative things you are referring to. It does sometimes take time and patience to work through things...

Do not get depressed. There are a lot of positives with spark people and a lot of help. Not just dieting help, eating right, exercising properly and moral support. You can do this!

I just started over for what seems like the millionth time. I'm approaching 50 and it is so much harder. Problem is I don't get any support of any kind for anything from anyone. Oh they have lots of advise and plenty of snide comments but nothing that resembles support or understanding. I'm this way for a reason. I eat when I'm upset or worried. Guess how often that is. They love to point out when I fail and that's why no one even knows I'm trying. I sneak out of the house to go walking and I have given the excuse that my digestive problems are the reason I'm eating differently. That doesn't allow for all of the other crap.

My husband and I never saw eye to eye on my weight problem. Even when he died he saw the 21 year old girl in a bikini. Bless him. He always tried to help me, even going on some of the weird diets I tried. It frustrated me when he had more self control and lost more weight than I did. My current friend has different ideas on losing weight and eating right. It has lead to a few arguments. I just gave up and do not tell him about sparks people, buy lots of greens and eat very little pasta or sweets when we are together. It is easier to eat healthy when I am alone, but I am working on it with friends and family.

I would like to say something about your number 2 point. I guess I would be considered one that would fit into your catagory based on what you stated.
I don't think this is always the case. Consider what I'm saying... I am between 115-120 at 5ft 2 inches. So, I should get it.. wrong... my sister has lost nearly 100 lbs. after being size 22-24 since for decades. My brother is obese. My dearest closest friend has been 300-500 lbs. I used to work in the medical field. So while my experience is second hand in many regards,, it has profoundly influenced me. I guess the most extra I had on my petite frame was 35 extra ( but I was uncomfortable. )
It does impact one to see family or friends health decline in serious ways.
Not everyone wants to lecture you, condemn, manage your diet, and the rest. It is a great joy to encourage and support these people, and I really desire from their success. And this is the part of the rest of the story...

Get them participating in a healthy topic. Give them some info and facts or figures. Maybe you can get them interested instead of non-supportive.

To MADELEINESNOW:
I totally understand not telling too many people about your dieting (I hate it when people make judgements and tell you what they think you should do/eat). My close friends know about my efforts, but as for the rest of those around me, I use countless excuses to avoid eating too much. LOL. I often use that I do not eat certain types of meat, or that I am just a very picky eater.

I personally have learned not to tell that many people about my dieting and exercising because 1. If they are bigger than me, I don't want to hurt their feelings or imply they need to lose weight. 2. Because if they are naturally thin they don't understand where I'm coming from. 3. I don't want anyone giving me opinions on what I should eat or how I should exercise. The only people that know currently are my immediate family that I live with. I've told people in the past and I just hate having justify my actions to anyone.
Usually I'll make an excuse to either not go somewhere where I know I'm going to be tempted My one friend who is thin always wants to go to fast food so I tell her it upsets my stomach which is true if we go to a local pizza shop I'll get wedding soup or something small and tell her I had a big lunch.
Currently I'm facing a weird situation. I'm taking a summer class at my college and since it's in the evening we do a potluck dinner each week. Last week we had pizza, breadsticks, and pop. I felt awkward not eating but decided it was better not to eat that. Everyone looks at me like a crazy girl.
TRI_BABE Posts: 2,965
"No thanks, I'm not hungry" or "I've been eating all day before this so don't really want a lot" or, since my friends know I eat healthfully and like to do so, "That doesn't even LOOK like it tastes good to me... too sweet/greasy/etc!"
My Mom likes to go to buffets. Always has, always will. So, I still go with her. I don't have to eat everything that is there. I put 3/4 or more vegetables/salad on my plate and a bit of something else. Get baked fish. And so on. That way we can still go, but my diet doesn't get ruined.
If we get a coupon to go to a certain restaurant that isn't as healthy, I'll suggest going on a day in which I know I'm going to workout a lot anyway.
I just focus on my goals and what others say is irrelevant. If they won't support me, I block out their comments and just keep going.
On the rare occasions that my boyfriend cooks, I do the same thing you do. The other day I was trying to meet a deadline for a class I am taking, he made dinner. He brought me dinner and it contained about 1000 calories worth of pasta. However, he was happy when I put over half of it back in the pot because that man can eat a crap-ton for someone with a 30 inch waist!
Thanks Mariellelamar1,
When it starts to bug me, I try to count my lucky stars that I found a man who is more than happy to eat salads and tofu. He is even happy with trading frozen greek yogurt for his ice cream addiction. And you are totally right, people who never had weight issues have no clue how hard it is. It isn't like you can go cold turkey like with smoking or drinking. You still need food!

When it is hard for me to say no to my husband's cooking (mostly because I don't want to hurt his feelings), I will tell him that I can have a half serving (just as a taste), but only if he promises to take a walk with me after dinner. I have a taste of whatever he is having served next to a twice as much steamed vegetables on a plate that is between the size of a regular plate and a saucer plate. I have learned though that I have to make my own plate (or he will serve me too much), so I ask him to get me a large glass of water with lemon while I am serving myself the smaller portion (it distracts him from pushing the food on me). I put the leftovers away while he is making his own plate so that it is out of sight, and he will not ask if I want more. If he finishes first, I ask him if he wants more (from my plate).

Dear asinine58,
Unfortunately most people who don't have weight problems have absolutely no idea how to be emotionally supportive. Sounds like your boyfriend is one of those. Maybe if you are direct with him like telling him how you need his help (I would like it if you supported me in keeping track of my food by letting me know you appreciate that I track and weigh everything.) Or maybe roll out the information about weight loss and how fasting and other overcompensations just make it harder to lose weight as time goes on.
Good luck!!!

Be like a duck and let those things roll off your back --- or move ON to more positive friends and situations!!
My boyfriend and I live together and I do pretty much all of the grocery shopping and cooking. My issue was never really eating poorly, it was just portion control and beer. I have gained about 20 pounds in the five years we have been together. He has told me on many occasions that I need to get back to a healthier weight. I am now weighing all of my food and counting my calories, which has helped me lose 2lbs a week for the last two weeks. When I start measuring out my dinner, he always rolls his eyes and then give me a hard time about recording everything on my Spark App on my iphone. Then, when I am still only at 1100 calories for the day and have 1/2 a cup of greek frozen yogurt he tells me that I'm not allowed to have it. So, I get a bit of a guilt trip for counting all of my calories and then I get a guilt trip for my "reward" for staying within my calorie range for the day. I try to explain to him that I need to have at least 1200 calories per day so I don't stall in my weight loss and he just doesn't understand...he thinks less is more.

Thank you all for your insight. I did have a talk with him, and I am happy to say that he has been doing great. I really think he was feeling insecure because he realized that he could afford to lose a few pounds too. He's been cutting down on his snacking, and when we went grocery shopping he stocked the cart with fresh fruits and veggies, and absolutely no potato chips (my personal weakness). I would never let his attitude or lack of support stop me from reaching my goals, because whether he thought so in he beginning, this is important to me, and what man would like a thinner, tighter, more toned wife :)

One thing you might want to consider is that maybe he is feeling a bit threatened or jealous about you and your weight-loss plan. Most of the times, when we aim for a change in lifestyle, people get all worried and concerned about how it will affect other aspects of your life; how will it affect your relationship. Make sure to let him know that counting calories and using a phone app won't take more time than the time he probably spends on Facebook, and that there's nothing you can't eat while counting calories, you will just double check your portions and feel better about yourself.
If he loves you and is usually very supportive, then the chances are he's just feeling insecure. Don't let his fears take over and pump that motivation!

What worked for me is acquiring some fairly nasty food allergies. I can't eat dairy and wheat without nasty consequences. Now that my coworkers have learned this, they don't offer me foods I can't eat anymore... for their own safety. My family is a bit different, but the "I am allergic to this, I will have severe indigestion and/or migraines" line works like a charm. As for unsupportive fiance... honestly, if this man will not support your weightloss and health goals, maybe he is not the right man for you. I lost a boyfriend when I first started going to the gym, he told me that my gym time takes too much time away from what I spend with him, and that I shouldn't go anymore. So, instead of stopping the gym I got rid of the boyfriend, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Talk to your fiance, and if he will continue being unsupportive, you may want to rethink your relationship.
I agree!

I agree. Your fiancé should probably be made aware of how that comment made you feel. There's nothing wrong with extra emotional support when it comes to good health. Whether its counting calories or other helpful planning. We're all behind you in support. I really hope you are not deterred from reaching your weight loss goal :)

Have you sat down with your fiancé and tried to explain to him how important this is to you and that you need his support? If you haven't, perhaps you should. If you have and he still offers no support, you may have some rough years ahead of you....

Mini-vent here:
So I just started using this website, and I'm loving it. I was telling my fiance (who is overweight himself) about it, and his only comment was, "you're not going to turn into one of those people that won't eat anything without counting it first, and then we won't be able to go out and do anything anymore because you'll be too obsessed with calories". Grrrrr. Keep in mind, I am not from the town where we live. My family and friends are all an hour or more away from us. I honestly have no one around me besides him and his friends. He is usually so supportive of anything I do, but I'm not feeling that support from him when it comes to losing weight. We are getting married in September and I'd like to lose 15 pounds before the wedding, so I'm turning to all of you for that support and motivation I need to make that happen.
Ok, there, I feel better now getting that out. Thanks

Whenever I read one of these threads I am newly greatful for the friends and family that I have that support me. In WHATEVER I lifestyle I choose. They loved and supported me when I weighed 225 pounds a number of years ago. They have loved and supported my on my up and down journeys on the scales. And they are supporting me now as I try to really maintain for the first time ever. I is good to be reminded of our gifts.......

I have had this same problem. First, I think the second poster is right. (I have blogged about this) When someone makes a very healthy change, we are faced with a few things. 1) Should we be making these changes too? or Are we eating the wrong or too much too? Or 2) we are just generally confronted with our own bad health or weight issues and are jealous that they took the bull by the horns and are making changes.
The too skinny comment makes me nuts. You see, we live in a world of obesity. So many people are overweight, that we don't really notice what "fat" is anymore. The BMI is a great tool for finding your weight range. Sure, it isn't perfect, and at a heavier weight you may not actually be healthy (body fat % and all) but it is a good TOOL.
My mom asked me not too long ago how much I had lost, and I told her. I also told her that I had a number of pounds more to go. She told me that was too much weight, and I told her that it was not. We actually discussed it, and I said that clothes can hide a lot, but I am going to lose an amount (likely what I stated) to get me to a healthy weight. I also mentioned that I would appreciate her support. When she realized she hadn't been terribly supportive, she straightened up. She also explained she didn't want me to get too obsessed and get too thin. I thanked her and said I didn't want that either.
As for being called boring, or pushed to eat or drink things, the HAHA oh, you, is awesome. AWESOME.
I have actually said, "I didn't plan on eating dessert today, but if you want to get together for a dessert on a day where I account for it in my calories, we can!" (Not quite in those words, but close enough!) I have also said that I wasn't hungry, didn't want it, and just said, "No thanks." I don't know what it is about misery loving company, but it is true!!!
Do what you have to for you. You won't feel good if you don't.

I am finding that the road to healthy is very lonely. Not sparkwise, the support here is great but there is a lack of healthy and supportive people in my life. My immediate family prefers the pre-healthy junk and convenience food to anything homemade and healthy. I am getting used to the comments. I try and accommodate the carnivore, the omni-carb, and one who has no taste buds, but prefers bland. Some days, I score with dinner and somedays, I have lots of leftovers and the dogs eat well. Then People have noticed that I dont go to social gatherings anymore. I dont do work buffets, optional breakfast meetings or lunch out with the girls. If they miss me, I invite them to go walking with me. No one has said that I've lost enough weight, it's coming off so slowly that they don't even notice.
LMAO!!! I can't stop laughing at the "haha, oh you!" It's so cute and awesome! But as some posters have said - it depends on the person you're dealing with - some people you need to be firm with - others you might need a stricter tongue. I deal with alot of unsupportive people myself in this journey. My best friend, who's also heavy (actually, now my BMI is lower than hers even though at the beginning I had almost 55lbs on her) says to me when I declined not buying myself any snacks for hanging out that night, "Oh, yeah. I forgot you're boring now." And I thought to myself "Wth does that mean?"
I totally understand what it's like to not be in the right mindset to lose weight; this isn't my first rodeo. But not being fun because I don't wanna eat fatty foods makes me a sudden fail? It still bothers me and this was awhile ago now. :( Her opinion means a LOT. I wouldn't ever tell her to lose weight - it's not my place, just like I don't want someone that's not my doctor telling ME to lose weight. My weight = my business. Just like getting into a healthy lifestyle - if you're not ready for it, it's a moot point to even bring it up. People have to be ready and want to do it on their own.
Of course there are many foods I miss - food is an addiction for me, but if I don't work on it - it's not going to work itself out.

Megadancingpeej: "haha, oh you" is absolutely brilliant! I love that.
Charris and Lthornton described the problem of people making them food and then acting hurt and basically trying to guilt trip them into eating. That is horrible behavior -- they're using emotional blackmail to sabotage you. Just remember, you didn't ask them to make the food; in fact, you probably told them NOT to make the food. So it's the other person who's "wasting" food, not you. You don't have to say all this, just use it to remind yourself that no one else, short of sitting on you and shoving cake into your mouth, can force you to eat something.
So to yourself, you say: "I didn't ask her to make me a four-egg omelette with sausages and grits, I'm not going to eat it. If she doesn't want to waste it she can put it in the fridge and eat it herself for lunch. It's not my fault or my responsibility. I need to take care of myself, so I'm going to eat the breakfast I planned for myself."
Then to the other person, you say, "Haha, oh you." ;)
MEGAPEEJ Posts: 732
My favorite response for those unsolicited comments is "haha, oh you." It gives them no room to argue, it doesn't make it look like I'm being argumentative, and it confuses them enough to get time to change the subject to something else.
"Bring your plate over, you need to have seconds!" "Haha, oh you."
"You're getting too skinny!" "Haha, oh you."
"What, you can't eat donuts anymore or something?" "Haha, oh you."

I've been having weight loss success, and tend to tell my sisters (both of whom are overweight) about it. One is constantly telling me I've lost enough and that it's not healthy. The other, who had cancer and related therapy and should have turned her life around, shrugs. Perhaps they're jealous, but my point is that if I can do it, then they can, too.
When I told my mom the other day that I was down to nearly 160 she commented that that is still a lot of fat to be hauling around...
My husband, on the other hand, asked me the other day if he could start calling me 'Flaca' (skinny). He's so supportive and has allowed me to change up our diet in a major way over the last year or so.

Charris - this is what happens to me. I get up in the morning and someone (who gets up at like 4am) has already made breakfast and they act all hurt and upset if I don't eat what they made - or the whole family wants to go out to eat dinner and I'm the only person who would rather eat something home cooked and they all look at me like I'm a party pooper or something.

You guys are all awesome. Here is one more thing to think about when sticking up for your healthy lifestyle. There may be other people out there not as strong as you in the same situation and when they see you stand up for yourself, it can help increase their resolve to do the same thing. There will always be pushy people out there and having some good role models who don't give in is great to motivate everyone else.
Stick to your goals and enjoy the fruits of your labors.

There are some good suggestions here which I can, and will use. The one about sticking to my doctor's orders fit in my situation. I have high cholesterol and am supposed to stay away from dairy foods. Ice cream is the one that is hard to live without.
The "smile and nod" idea is also a great one for some situations. Also the comments about wanting a healthy life for me is a good idea. I hope more people post with more suggestions. I now realize that I can be using different responses for different situations and people.
Once I turned down a glass of wine. My host would not take "no" for an answer. He pushed on me by an old college friend. When he put it in my hand the forth time, I threw the wine overboard from the boat on which we were dining. He couldn't believe it, was upset because it was expensive wine ( I would not have known the difference) but never offered me a glass of wine again.

It's probably one of the most maddening things about change--people don't want us to (for all the reasons the second poster suggested, and then some).
If they won't listen, walk away. If they keep bugging you, and the doctor thing doesn't work, well, I've been known to lose my temper and say, please mind your business, not mine, but that doesn't work with most family--they know how to push your buttons too well.
With family who won't support me, I stay as far away as possible as often as possible; when some relative asks, why aren't you coming around?, I tell them, flat out and honest, no temper,
"It's because you don't respect my heath or my choices for health. I want a long and healthy life for me; what do you want for me?" That shut up one naggy aunt; didn't work with my brother, but, hey, can't win them all.

Last brunch at the church, I knew that the menu would be pancakes, toast, sausages, etc., so I brought a bowl of fruit (frozen, mixed and defrosted), and some yogurt. The women commented something to the effect, "so, that's your secret". Thankfully, nobody tried to force feed me anything.
That being said, words cannot FORCE you to eat something you don't wish to eat. However, if you can do it at your stage in the game, one taste of whatever dessert they're pushing will be enough to taste it, and possible satisfy them. Tell them that the first bite tastes the best - everything after that doesn't compare.
Are their comments coming from jealousy, or perhaps they somehow are made to feel guilty because you're doing so well, and they haven't even begun - but think that they should?
Can you just change the subject?
Can you tell them that you'll take your doctor's advice, and stick with that?
Obviously, every person and situation is different, so I may not be giving you good advice at all.
There are a lot of other threads on this board with similar questions - perhaps one of them will give you an answer you can use.

How do you cope with negative and unhelpful statements from family and friends on your path to a healthy lifestyle? Some common ones are, "You lost enough weight, you don't need to lose any more, " and "Oh, come on, another serving won't hurt." Another is, "Have some fun and have desert with us! Don't be a spoil sport!"
You get the idea.

Top of the World Classic hits bottom
Bob McClellan
Rivals.com College Basketball
Morehead State athletic director Brian Hutchinson says it wasn't about the money.
It's the politically correct thing to say concerning the Eagles' decision to pull out of the Top of the World Classic, an exempt tournament in Fairbanks, Alaska, that would have entered its 13th season this fall.
Some lucky 13.
In fairness to Hutchinson, he didn't know he was taking part in effectively killing off the event. He and coach Donnie Tyndall opted to pay the $30,000 "liquidated damages clause" to get out of the tournament when Louisville offered a spot in its Billy Minardi Classic.
The Cardinals are paying $60,000-$70,000, Hutchinson said. The Eagles will use that money to pay off the Top of the World organizers and pocket what's left.
The travel also will be a little easier on the Eagles a 135-mile bus ride across the Bluegrass State versus trekking 3,900 miles to within 3 hours of the Arctic Circle.
"It was never about money for us because we really wanted to go to Alaska," Hutchinson said. "An OVC team has won that tournament (Austin Peay in 2000), and we thought we could go up there and be successful. But you really have to block two weeks out of your schedule. You've got to be there a day before it starts, and when you get home you have to give the team at least a couple of days to recover, if not four to five.
"The logistics for an East Coast team are challenging. It sounds great when you sign up for it, but the reality is it's tough for pre-conference dates."
Morehead signed to play in the 2008 Top of the World Classic on Oct. 9, 2006. Within five weeks Forrest Karr, AD of host school University of Alaska-Fairbanks, also had signed deals with Stanford and Chattanooga. So Karr had half of his field, but he wasn't especially confident looking down the road.
That's because in January 2006, the NCAA board of directors voted to eliminate the certification program for preseason events. There had been only 10 such events in the 2005-06 season, including the Top of the World, the Great Alaska Shootout and the Rainbow Classic in Hawaii. But the elimination of the certification program basically meant any school could be host to a multi-team event.
Karr feared it was the beginning of the end. He was correct.
"I remember the day like it was yesterday," Karr said. "I woke up in my hotel room in Indianapolis and under the door was the NCAA News.
Division II members (such as UA-Fairbanks) don't get to vote on Division I legislation. My immediate thought was this will probably be the end of tournaments like ours."
Karr said he had a conversation that day with Steve Cobb, AD of Alaska-Anchorage, host of the Great Alaska Shootout.
"He said, 'Our event has a 30-year history and a TV contract, more ticket sales and resources and larger sponsorships, so this change will get your tournament first,' " Karr said. "But his words, 'We're right there with you.' "
Cobb was prophetic. Sure enough, a couple of teams paid their way out of the 2007 Great Alaska Shootout, including Washington State. Cobb and Karr responded by upping the damages clause in future contracts, but Morehead State had signed with the Top of the World before the clause was changed.
Karr said the event always had been fiscally sound, and it hadn't changed what it had offered teams from day one. Its package was composed of 18 airplane tickets, a $2,430 per diem, 36 hotel nights and a vehicle for the coaching staff for five days. Karr estimated the worth of the package at $20,000-$25,000.
But with bigger schools allowed to serve as host for their own exempt events, the landscape changed. Suddenly, schools such as Morehead State were having large sums of money thrown at them, and a certain Fairbanks tournament was left out in the all-too-familiar cold.
"It certainly has been a big part of our community," Fairbanks Mayor Terry Strle said. "We've rallied behind it.
"Basketball is big in rural Alaska. I know the Top of the World Classic was something we all looked forward to. It came at a time of year when there's not a lot to do here. And to enjoy that quality of basketball was just great for us. It's a big disappointment that it's gone."
Karr didn't let it die without a fight.
"We were hearing of teams getting offered more than $100,000 to play, and we realized we needed to do something," Karr said. "So we started offering more money. We signed UCF on April 16, 2008. We gave them $20,000, plus 20 plane tickets, 36 room nights, a rental vehicle and the per diem. It was $20,000 more than we had ever offered."
Morehead State opted out shortly after UCF signed on. At least it meant Karr had $30,000 to go get another school. Bradley inked a deal May 12. The field was up to five, and Karr and tourney officials were thinking of going with a six-team tourney.
In late June, Austin Peay, the 2000 Top of the World champ, reached an oral agreement to return to Fairbanks. The Governors' financial package was significantly more than the event had ever offered any school, and the OVC favorite would have been making way more than Stanford. Karr said the offer to APSU was $30,000, 23 plane tickets, 48 room nights, the per diem and ground transportation for the entire team.
"We'd had a 12-year history of offering the same thing, and now we were well over $60,000," Karr said.
On the same day, though, Chattanooga exercised the damages clause in its contract. Meanwhile, Stanford officials had asked the event to let the school know something by July 1 or it would like to explore other options. Karr felt like that was a fair request.
He then made an "all-out effort" to find a sixth team. Karr said the offer he made to the final five or six teams he tried to lure to Fairbanks was "well over $90,000." He said a couple of schools were close to signing, but found last-second reasons not to. One balked at being in the same three-team pool as Stanford and Bradley. Karr declined to name the school.
On July 1, Karr called Stanford and told the Cardinal it was being released to look for other options.
"I'm disappointed for our staff and our community," Karr said. "It's like a punch in the gut. I felt like this is not what college sports are supposed to be about.
Preseason certified events were limited to outlying areas (before the NCAA rule change). They said they wanted to level the playing field, but it's not level for us. If another tournament is offering $60,000 in cash to come down the road, we have to offer $80,000 or more to get them here. For us, it created a disadvantage. We can't afford to play that game."

VIDEO: John Scott dances behind interview because he's John Scott
More NHL: Scores | Standings | Odds | Fight-O-Meter | League Leaders | Rumors
Move over, Ryan Kesler. The NHL has a new Keslurking champion, and his name is John Scott.
The massive man who is the Buffalo Sabres' enforcer has taken to popping up in the background of teammates' postgame TV interviews of late. And, even better, he's going above and beyond the call of your typical photobomb. When most guys drop in, they just appear and disappear, often just with a smile.
That's not Scott's style. We saw a few weeks back that Scott popped up behind Mark Pysyk and began looking around as if he just came up through a manhole and didn't know where he was.
But that was just the start.
After the Sabres defeated the Lightning on Sunday in Buffalo, Scott made another appearance. This time, it was behind rookie Chad Ruhwedel and his cut-up chin. He made this apperance in what looks like nothing but the Sabres' fur coat and started dancing. Like only John Scott can dance.
That. Is. Excellent.
First, the collar pop as both the intro and the outro? Great touch. It fits the fur-coat look and is just a great start. But, more importantly, how is it that the host, Brian Duff, held his composure? How on earth does a mere mortal see that happening behind your interview subject on live TV and not start laughing?
Also worth noting that, despite the fact that Scott is the size of an elephant, he appears to dance as quiet as a mouse. Ruhwedel seems to be blissfully unaware of his presence.
This season has been pretty miserable once again for the Sabres, but Scott has started giving everybody reasons to watch. Keep doing what you're doing, big man, even if we have a hard time telling where the fur coat ends and your chest hair begins.

The End of the Viarsa Saga and the Legality of Australia's Vessel Forfeiture Penalty for Illegal Fishing in Its Exclusive Economic Zone
Blakely, Laurence, Pacific Rim Law & Policy Journal
Abstract: The world's fish stocks are suffering from over-utilization. The earth's oceans are subject to exploitation by all nation states and very little preservation. Because of the nature of the international legal regime of the Law of the Sea, enforcement of what conservation and management measures exist is challenging. Boundaries, ephemeral on land, are even more so on water, making rights allocation and management particularly difficult. Nevertheless, as fish stocks continue to decrease and it becomes clearer that oceans require more effective management, coastal states have begun to undertake more significant enforcement procedures corresponding to their rights in their exclusive economic zones established under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
In particular, Australia has recently implemented a series of measures aimed at improving the enforcement of fisheries regulations in its exclusive economic zone. Although the motive behind these measures is to attain more effective conservation and management of its living marine resources, Australia is pushing the boundaries of international law and must endeavor to ensure it acts in conformity with international law. In 1999, Australia amended its Fisheries Management Act to provide for the automatic forfeiture of any foreign vessel caught fishing illegally in its exclusive economic zone. Australia can and should interpret this provision to conform to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
In December 2007, the infamous Uruguayan-flagged longline fishing vessel Viarsa I finally came to rest on the shores of Mumbai and is presently standing-by to be demolished and sold as scrap in the Indian ship-breaking yards.1 Viarsa I was the object of one of the longest hot pursuits in history, and one so sensational that it was the subject of a widely successful novel by a journalist for the Wall Street Journal.3 In August 2003, the Australian Fisheries and Customs patrol vessel Southern Supporter chased Viarsa I for twenty-one days over almost 4,000 nautical miles, through an iceberg-strewn stormy Southern Ocean in the middle of winter.4 Having detected Viarsa I allegedly violating fisheries regulations in Australia's exclusive economic zone ("EEZ"), Southern Supporter initiated hot pursuit, finally catching up with Viarsa I in the South Atlantic Ocean and escorting her back to Australia.5 Although the crew was eventually acquitted of all criminal charges by an Australian jury because evidence of the violation was only circumstantial,6 the Commonwealth still confiscated the vessel as forfeited, pursuant to section 106A of the Fisheries Management Act ("FMA").7 The owners of the vessel challenged this forfeiture in Australian courts, as allowed by the FMA.8 Four years later, the Federal Court of Western Australia finally dismissed the Viarsa I owner's application challenging this forfeiture,9 enabling the Australian Fisheries Management Authority ("AFMA") to initiate the dismantling process and bring to a close the Viarsa saga.10
The saga, however, may yet continue. It remains unclear whether Australia's forfeiture provision, section 106A of the FMA, is consistent with international law. Although the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ("LOSC") does not specifically address whether forfeiture is an allowable method of enforcement of a coastal state's fisheries regulations, in its most recent case, the Tomimaru, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, ("ITLOS"), recognized the issue without resolving it.12 Presiding ITLOS Judge Rudiger Wolfrum, in his statement to the Plenary of the United Nations General Assembly in December 2007, described the Tomimaru case as raising questions concerning "the confiscation of a vessel and the relation between national and international rules."13 Judge Wolfrum noted on behalf of ITLOS that, although the Law of the Sea Convention makes no reference to confiscation provisions, "many States have provided for measures of confiscation of fishing vessels in their legislation with respect to the management and conservation of marine living resources. …

The only gripe I had with the games, too long. LOL!
LOL!!! When my older brother and I were growing up, half of our disputes were solved by video games, i.e. the Street Fighter; Soul Calibur; Tekken VS matches, time trials etc. Needless to say they were taken very seriously! There was no shortage of battles between him and I. They often say that video games are an addiction, but I say would you rather be addicted to that, or hard drugs and alcohol?
Just out of curiosity, were my other fics okay? I haven't been well the last few days, and I've missed reading your reviews. I've got some new ones in the works, and I think another one of your pictures has given me an idea for a setting. I'm amazed at how the quality of your artwork has given me ideas to write fanfics, and it leaves me thrilled that you added them to your list of personal favourites. To me, that's the biggest shout of encouragement one could give.
Those of your stories I have read so far have been wonderful. You have a unique style and that is always something important in my eyes. It's an honor for me, that I can inspire you with my pictures. Something like this always makes the heart a lot lighter.
Yeah, if Yuffie has gotten hands on the materia again that would explain why Clouds looks so... cold...

Joe's Crab Shack Gets Accidental Marijuana Windfall
As we mentioned, there was a whole lot more pot than usual in town on Saturday, so much so that people were throwing it away by the garbage bag full! It's unclear how it ended up there, but an employee at Joe's Crab Shack (245 Jefferson Street) over by Fisherman's Wharf happened upon three garbage bags full of kind bud, and weighing in at about fifty pounds. It remains unclear whether the stash had anything to do with anyone who worked at the restaurant. But stay tuned... [Examiner]

On April 6, Hungarians went to the polls and re-elected their government. In most countries, such an outcome would be a reaffirmation of the political status quo. But Hungary is no longer like most countries. The re-election of its government marks the collapse of politics in Hungary.
Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz party first came to power in 2010 with a clear majority of the vote. In April, the party won a second term with just 45 percent of the vote, yet a set of Fidesz-friendly changes to the election laws enacted by Orbán during his first term as prime minister transformed this plurality into a two-thirds parliamentary mandate, giving him the power to continue to amend the Hungarian Constitution at will. Still, the April results should not be taken as a vindication: Orbán has maintained his grip on the Parliament with 21 percent fewer domestic votes than Fidesz garnered in 2010, reflecting a decline in its overall margin of victory and a drop in turnout.
Despite his weakened position, Orbán could not be effectively challenged by other parties, in no small part because the deck was stacked against them. A coalition of left parties led by the Socialists, Hungary's largest left-leaning party, outpolled their 2010 results but won only 26 percent of the vote. Given the disproportionate allocation of mandates in the new election system, the opposition alliance received only 19 percent of the parliamentary seats. On the far right, Jobbik garnered 21 percent of the vote, a near 4 percent gain from 2010. Though it performed poorly in Budapest, it was the second-largest vote-getter in much of the countryside, but the new rules skewed its presence in the new Parliament. As the third-largest party, its share of seats sank from 17 to 12 percent. LMP, a tiny, vaguely green party, squeaked over the 5 percent threshold and entered the Parliament with almost 3 percent of the seats.
While it may be tempting, it would be a mistake to draw lessons from the election about the future of the left in Hungary or the rise of the far right. In the long run-up to the vote, Orbán enhanced his control over all public institutions, whipped up nationalist sentiment, nationalized parts of the economy, and—in a move designed simply to win votes—lowered utility rates. He acted not as the conservative he claims to be but as a populist radical. The Socialists had presided over an IMF-mandated austerity program begun in 2008, when they were last in power, and could hardly be said to represent the left. Their smaller counterparts in the coalition were liberals of various indeterminate stripes who had little discernible ideology. Jobbik captured the protest vote because it campaigned in sheep's clothing, running on a kinder, gentler conservative platform that tactfully concealed its anti-Semitism and anti-Roma sentiments.
What is clear is that with his re-election, Orbán has consolidated a well-orchestrated constitutional coup that has rattled the European Union's complacency about being a club of well-behaved democracies. Since 2010, Fidesz has rewritten the Constitution without engaging any opposition parties and has granted overwhelming and unchecked power to its party leader, who in turn wasted little time in wresting control of every state institution from opposition hands, entrenching his political allies everywhere, bringing the judiciary to heel and radically centralizing political authority. The Fidesz constitutional "reform" has spawned a Frankenstate, a form of government created by stitching together perfectly normal rules from the laws of various EU members into a monstrous new whole. The component pieces of the Hungarian Frankenstate might have operated perfectly well in their original contexts, but combined in a new constitutional system, these once-normal rules produce abnormal results. As government spokespeople have said every time there is criticism of a particular aspect of the new constitutional order: that rule exists in Greece. Or Germany. Or the United Kingdom. It's normal. End of story. But nowhere do all those rules exist together, except in the Hungarian Frankenstate.

- Biography
I started my career working at SearchQuest UK as a keyword researcher and content writer -- back in '99. At that point SEO consisted of keyword meta tags and very little else!
After doing this for several summers (whilst studying for an ND in Music Technology at Preston College) I went off to university to study a HND in Music Technology.
On my return I went back to SearchQuest UK and started as their head SEO; where I spent the next three years. During this time I learnt how to properly optimise a site, how to market a site online and the basics of running a web based company.
From there i moved on to UFindUs and started as part of their SEO and web research team. This was a short position but it was highly educational and taught me valuable lessons in areas such as web copywriting, web research and customer care.
I now work as the On-line Marketing Manager at Piranha Marketing; where I am responsible for the on-line marketing, and seo of all client websites.
