Utilities (XLU) are bouncing the most, after selling off in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and the damage to East Coast electrical systems. Financials (XLF) are also getting a bounce following yesterday's selloff. BAC was upped to Buy at ISI, and JPMorgan got approval from the Fed to resume stock buybacks.
Stocks rising on earnings: QCOM, DF, AWK, TWGP, ETP, HE, AAP, AMCX, FE, DDS
[Related -Bank Stocks: The Misbegottenness of the Volcker Rule Truly Knows No Bounds]
Stocks falling on earnings: PANL, MNST, WFM, TRLA, VMC
In Asia overnight markets were sharply lower. Hong Kong fell -2.4% and China skidded -1.6% following the handoff in power there. Australia's unemployment rate held steady at 5.4%. JPMorgan thinks the Reserve Bank of Australia will cut rates further in December.
In Europe, markets were higher this morning but have been fading. Greece passed its key austerity vote yesterday in order to get more aid, but sentiment is souring that Spain will soon need to seek a bailout as well. The ECB held rates steady at 0.75%, and President Draghi said that growth will remain weak in 2013.
The dollar is higher again, but commodities are holding up. Oil prices are a bit higher to $84.80 and gold prices are firm near $1716.
[Related -Gold hasn't lost its allure in my portfolio]
The 10-year yield is getting a small boost to 1.67%. And the VIX is lower by -3.6% to 18.38 despite the weak action in early trading.
Trading comment: The market sold off yesterday on strong volume. It is now back at oversold levels so that should help it put together some sort of bounce in the near-term. But the SPX is right in the middle of the range between its 50- and 200-day. It hasn't touched the 200-day since June, and I think it is likely we see another test of that key moving average. So I think a defensive posture remains appropriate and I would look to add to stocks and/or reduce hedges after we see a test of that 200-day.

We are going to build a multiplayer game. The idea is that every player has a tablet and is connected to a server. The server should control the game logic, while the clients (the tablets) will only serve as a frontend to the game. We need to make a decision about the frameworks/programming language we are going to use. A crossplatform frontend would be cool, but is not mandatory. It has to run on Android devices at least. The communication between the server and the client must be bidirectional and realtime. We don't care about a small amount of delay.
However we did not decide yet since we want to be sure to make the right choice. There might be frameworks that can do a better job. Does anyone know a better solution?

Donor Compensation Class Action Settlement:
Doctor Seeks Case Reports on Cancer Following Egg Donation
I Donated My Eggs To My Aunt
Recently, we published this story about how things went south after a member donated her eggs to her aunt. Shortly after, this email popped into my inbox:
Hi, I just read the heartbreaking story posted on We Are Egg Donors about a woman donating eggs to her aunt and having it go so horribly! I really think that is awful.
I also donated to my aunt (my mother's first cousin, to be technical). My experience was very different and has been very positive. If you have any interest in sharing another perspective on a similar situation, I'd be happy to share.
-- Carter
We are honored to share Carter's story here.
My Open Egg Donation Became a Family Secret
This anthropologist is interviewing egg donors: Here's why it matters
INTERVIEW: My egg donor agency billed me $3,400 for backing out. I fought back.
Once she realized she couldn't change my mind, her cheery, friendly demeanor quickly fell. She told me I would now be responsible for paying for all of the screenings, exams, etc. and would call me back with a number. Within minutes, she called me back requesting $3400 in ten days! Ok firstly, if I had an extra $3400 laying around I wouldn't be trying to donate in the first place.
Inside an Egg Freezing Party
Recently, an Ivy League egg donor and We are Egg Donors member attended one of the much-buzzed-about egg freezing "parties" held by EggBanxx at the Harvard Club of New York City. (And by "parties," I mean a loosely factual marketing event about commercial egg freezing — complete with free booze.) Here's her trip report. This is the first installment of our Egg Freezing series.
My Children Have a Brother They May Never Meet
When my body was pumped full of hormones to stimulate my ovarian follicles — matured for the purpose of giving another woman a chance to be a mother — part of me changed as well. For the first time in my life, I had a desire to be pregnant. I started to think about carrying a child and being a mother in a very different way. Dialogue began between my wife and I and our plans for future parenthood took a different path.
Breaking Taboos: Starting a Conversation Between Egg Donors and Donor Egg Recipients
Recently, I made what some would call a "bold choice" by trying to find the families who received my donated eggs. I wrote an article titled "To the Parents Raising My Eggs," which was meant to reach out to those families and hopefully encourage them to contact me.
South African Egg Donor Sent to India, Realizes Agency is Scamming Recipients
I Donated My Eggs in the UK and It Made Me Proud To Be British
I Donated My Eggs and I Won't Do It Again
When I stuck to my guns about my compensation, my agency said "We're not in the business of trying to just take money from parents." It was a subtle accusation, but I couldn't shake the idea that that's exactly the business they were in. My agency would be making a lot of money off my body from a couple who could afford to pay the fee.
Research Opportunities for Egg Donors
INTERVIEW: I Met My 16-Year-Old Donor Egg Child
JoLana Talbot donated eggs anonymously because she was not offered any other option. One thing we've learned since starting We Are Egg Donors is that this is a pretty common experience. What is uncommon about JoLana's story is that she got the chance to connect with her 'donor daughter,' Brittan, 16 years after donating eggs. Even more unusual, JoLana and Brittan met in person for the very first time on Katie Couric's daytime television show. The episode will air Wednesday, June 11 (find your local station here). JoLana filled us in on what it was like to meet a child produced from her donations. Check it out!
Anonymous Confession: "I lied my ass off to become an egg donor"
I spent years abusing cocaine and marijuana to deal with severe depression, anxiety, and anorexia. I spent a month in a psychiatric hospital ten years ago, and I still take prescription mood stabilizers twice a day. My family history includes ovarian cancer, schizophrenia, autism, substance use, and obesity. But last year I was struggling to make ends meet and support a household with a salary of $30,000 in New York City. So I lied my ass off to become an egg donor.
Seven Things You Should Not Say To An Egg Donor
As a result of invisibility and stigma around egg donation, many egg donors struggle to find ways to talk about our experiences with people who are supportive and understanding. Sometimes even our loved ones are at a loss for words when we disclose that we are in the process of donating our eggs or that we have donated in the past. I asked a group of egg donors about some of the uncomfortable questions and comments they've received in conversations about donating. Based on their answers, here are some things to avoid saying when talking to an egg donor.
Inside 'The Cost of Life': An Egg Donor's Investigative Report on the Egg Donation Industry
I decided to donate my eggs for the first time last year. Once I was matched with a set of parents, I told my employer, whose staff encouraged me to write about the experience. At first, I thought my experience would make for a lighthearted Sunday feature story, but as the donation process dragged on, the story changed into something very different.
Signing Your Egg Donation Contract? Read This First
I have compiled a list of things that you may want to consider when reviewing your egg donor agreement. This is not intended to be an all-inclusive list. Depending on the specific terms of your agreement there may be other things you may want to consider. There is no substitute for having your own legal representation!
INTERVIEW: "I'm a Queer Egg Donor"
This interview is about stigma, being queer, and navigating a heteronormative medical landscape. While egg donation is presented as a simple clinical procedure, there is a lot of room for reducing stigma and acknowledging a fuller scope of, you know, how people actually feel about it. To some of us, our narratives are more complex than "wham, bam, thank you for your huevos, good job, here's a check, you'll be fine, good bye."
Gamechanging Court Case: Another Egg Donor Appealed Taxes Owed
Tax law will soon be clearer on how compensation from our egg donations will be treated for tax purposes in the United States. Throughout these last few months, We Are Egg Donors has fielded dozens of emails from U.S. donors regarding the appeal process. Our Forum has been a-buzz with donors discussing how they were advised by their individual accountants. Soon, the mystery surrounding unwelcome 1099s will be clarified, if not disappear.

Dr. Lawrence J. McQuillan: Californias Public Pension Crisis
Recorded: Tuesday, June 17, 2014
On June 17, 2014, Sr. Fellow Lawrence McQuillan spoke at an event for supporters of the Independent Institute. Dr. McQuillan spoke about Californias state pension system, a topic he writes about frequently, including in his forthcoming book California Dreamin: Resolving the Public Pension Crisis.
First he defines the types of pension programs for state employees, he outlined how funding for the programs is not sustainable for the promises made to pension recipients. The state admits to an unfunded liability of $140 billion, but McQuillan says that is actually an underestimate. According to most economists, the true amount of the unfunded liability is $430 billion.
How did this happen? McQuillan explains and offers six solutions to keep the pension systems solvent.

Friedrich Hayek and the Future of Liberty
Recorded: Wednesday, May 16, 2001
Friedrich A. Hayek (1899-1992) left such a profound mark on economic and political thought that The New Yorker has called the 20th century, "The Hayek Century." After converting to free-market capitalism and classical liberalism in the 1920s, Hayek became one of socialism's and statism's staunchest critics. His 1944 bestseller, The Road to Serfdom, warned of central government planning's authoritarian, and even totalitarian, tendencies- and helped reignite worldwide interest in the philosophy and practice of freedom. Although Hayek's 1974 Nobel Prize in Economic Science brought renewed interest in his ideas, it wasn't until the collapse of the Soviet Bloc (which Hayek predicted) that his vast writings on economics, political philosophy, law, history, culture, and other fields became broadly recognized as essential to achieve a prosperous, humane and free society. Biographer Alan Ebenstein and economist Charles Baird shed light on Hayek's seminal legacy and the rebirth of freedom.

J-Ax, who had always gravitated toward American rock -- particularly punk -- soon began writing pieces for a solo album. In order to get the sound he wanted, he went to Los Angeles to record, getting help from former Hole and Shift drummer Samantha Maloney, bassist Brian O'Connor (Eagles of Death Metal), and guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen (A Perfect Circle, Failure). Released in 2006, Di Sana Pianta saw J-Ax continuing his often politically incorrect rants against society and for marijuana use. It was an immediate success in Italy, despite the fact that it was much more California punk-inspired pop and rock than hip-hop (an exception being the opener, "S.N.O.B."). J-Ax next put out two albums at the same time -- Rap n' Roll and Deca Dance -- both released in 2009 and both featuring more of the same sounds and styles, although with a heavily Italian lineup and guests including Gué Pequeno, Jovanotti, Marracash, Space One, and Pino Daniele. Together, the albums sold 100,000 copies, earning platinum certification separately.
His fourth album, Meglio Prima, was released in 2011, featuring productions from familiar J-Ax associates like Guido Style and Fabio B, plus one track with Two Fingerz. The live album Meglio Live! appeared in 2012, followed by J-Ax's fifth album, Il Bello d'Esser Brutti, which debuted at number one upon release in February 2015 -- thanks in part to the success of the single "Uno di Quei Giorni," a duet with Nina Zilli. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi

Infertility & Reproduction Health Center
Frequently Asked Questions About Infertility
In this article
What is infertility?
Most experts define infertility as not being able to get pregnant after at least one year of trying. Women who are able to get pregnant but then have repeat miscarriages are also said to be infertile.
Pregnancy is the result of a complex chain of events. In order to get pregnant:
Recommended Related to Infertility & Reproduction
GIFT (gamete intrafallopian transfer) and ZIFT (zygote intrafallopian transfer) are modified versions of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Like IVF, these procedures involve retrieving an egg from the woman, combining with sperm in a lab then transferring back to her body, but in GIFT and ZIFT the process goes more quickly. While in traditional IVF the embryos are observed and raised in a laboratory for 3 to 5 days, in ZIFT, the fertilized eggs -- at this stage called zygotes -- are placed in the fallopian...
Read the GIFT and ZIFT article > >
- A woman must release an egg from one of her ovaries (ovulation).
- The egg must go through a fallopian tube toward the uterus (womb).
- A man's sperm must join with (fertilize) the egg along the way.
- The fertilized egg must attach to the inside of the uterus (implantation).
Infertility can result from problems that interfere with any of these steps.
Is infertility a common problem?
About 12% of women (7.3 million) in the United States aged 15-44 had difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a baby to term in 2002, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
Is infertility just a woman's problem?
No, infertility is not always a woman's problem. In about one-third of cases, infertility is due to the woman (female factors). In another third of cases, infertility is due to the man (male factors). The remaining cases are caused by a mixture of male and female factors or by unknown factors.
What causes infertility in men?
Infertility in men is most often caused by:
- Problems making sperm -- producing too few sperm or none at all
- Problems with the sperm's ability to reach the egg and fertilize it -- abnormal sperm shape or structure prevent it from moving correctly
Sometimes a man is born with the problems that affect his sperm. Other times problems start later in life due to illness or injury. For example, cystic fibrosis often causes infertility in men.
What increases a man's risk of infertility?
The number and quality of a man's sperm can be affected by his overall health and lifestyle. Some things that may reduce sperm number and/or quality include:
- Alcohol
- Drugs
- Environmental toxins, including pesticides and lead
- Smoking cigarettes
- Health problems
- Medicines
- Radiation treatment and chemotherapy for cancer
- Age

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
South Africa's Julius Malema talks to Al Jazeera
31 Mar 2013 16:53 GMT | South Korea
Yoo Eun Lee is a freelance journalist, blogger and new media specialist writing about North Korean issues and K-pop. She is also an editor at Global Voices covering Korea region.
There have been numerous reports on the origins of recent cyber-attack on South Korean major websites, with identical commentaries suspecting the North Korean hand. There are few original analyses and fewer posts touching some aspects that have never been discussed in mainstream media up until now.
Cyber-attacks on South Korean government sites and major financial institutions have become an annual event in recent years. After the 2009 mass DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack rattled the whole nation, others followed in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
And now, in 2013, 32,000 computers have been reportedly damaged. The attack struck the machines on March 20 and wiped the hard drives and master boot and put some ATMs out of operation.
How different?
What is unique about this year's attack is
Lately there's been a deluge of reports on the origins of the recent cyber-attack on major South Korean websites, and many agree that North Korea may have had a hand in it. In fact, there are few original analyses and even fewer of those that touch on certain aspects, that up until recently, have not been discussed in mainstream media.
It seems that cyber-attacks on South Korean government sites and major financial institutions have become an annual event in recent years. After the 2009 mass DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack rattled the whole nation, others followed in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
And now, in 2013, 32,000 computers have been reportedly damaged. The attack struck the machines on March 20 and wiped the hard drives and master boot, and even put some ATMs out of operation.
What is unique about this year's attack is the fact that it demonstrated two things: first, that simple explanations and convenient truths trump a lengthy re-interpretation of events, and second, how truly vulnerable South Korean sites are.
This year's attack was not at all sophisticated. Unlike the previous DDoS attacks, which were believed to have originated in North Korea, this hacking contained a spam message that triggered the wiping and overwriting of the hard drive.
Media websites proved themselves so vulnerable to the attack that only 10 percent of their websites were recovered within two days, whereas the Shinhan Bank took only two hours to get back to work.
Some hacking attacks have very clear goals, such as extracting money, obtaining critical information or hobbling infrastructure, but not this one. A Foreign Policy article claimed the attack as a politically-motivated one which might have come either from North Korea, political activists (or so-called hacktivists) from China or South Korea, or even from the "Whois Team", a new unknown group claiming to have carried out the attack.
If the attacks were indeed from North Korea, there is no need to read anything into it. Their message and motive cannot be anymore clear. North Korea has been using all kinds of extreme war rhetoric offline for decades, with statements like "turning the South Korean capital into a sea of fire/blood". This hacking could be just more blackmailing - only done online.
Although blaming North Korea for the attack provides very convenient and believable explanations - compact enough to fit into saucy headlines - it is completely lazy and misleading.
Even so, just days after the incident, almost everyone in the media seemed to agree - even most pro-government ones - that South Korean authorities screwed up big by blaming North Korea as the culprit before looking into the matter more closely.
South Korea says North behind cyber-attacks
The government's initial report claimed that the "attack originated from an IP address in China and somehow it was being linked to North Korea, thus North Korea is the culprit" (and by doing so, it effectively angered China). Later it was found that the attacker's borrowed IP address actually came from one of the local banks.
A local Korean newspaper reported:
Imagine a war situation. Banks and media networks are shelled simultaneously and bullets are coming from every direction. However, people (referring to the government) start going the wrong way (to find the culprit) even though they don't know where the bullets are coming from.
Imagine a war situation. Banks and media networks are shelled simultaneously and bullets are coming from every direction. However, people (referring to the government) start going the wrong way (to find the culprit) even though they don't know where the bullets are coming from.
This shows how best the South Korean government handled the situation. After tracking down the IP address, but not verifying whether it was the real or borrowed one, authorities jumped to a conclusion and made a contemptible rookie mistake.
Prone to attacks
With North Korea, their motives for such an attack are obvious. But if it turns out to be just some anonymous attackers, it is difficult to discern what their motives could be in launching this latest cyber-assault. That said, it is now imperative that the focus turns to figuring out what made the attackers target South Korea, and what systemic flaws rendered the local websites helpless and more prone to the attack.
The National Intelligence Service report shows that "between 2008 and 2012 there were 73,030 cyber-attacks and only six of them are believed to be by North Korea".
A previous report from the Korea Institute of Finance had warned that South Korean websites will see more frequent Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)-type attacks, just like any other country.
This crisis could have been averted, especially by the broadcasting companies that were hit worst - they have always ignored the warnings on what could happen by not partitioning the network.
Although South Korea is one of the most wired countries in the world, with its internet speed being the fastest, people who actually live in the country have a lot to complain about visiting local websites.
If a person has lived in other countries before, he/she will immediately notice how complicated and annoying it is to access online banking or any major websites in South Korea.
Most of the websites make it mandatory for users to install additional software to access their service. These tools - built to prevent fraud - ironically work in a way to prevent regular users from accessing the site and paving way for the hackers to fool around.
The omnipresent pop-ups, asking if the user wants to install software, can affect the behaviour.
When a user is denied access a million times after not clicking "yes" to the software installation, even the most prudent - and frustrated - may click "yes" without a second thought, ultimately contributing to the perfect storm of "Dark Seoul" that gripped the country on March 20.

Here's the reality of public relations that no one in our industry is talking about, but we should be. While the media has changed from a print mechanism to a mobile multimedia environment, PR remains stuck in the 20th century. As consumers, we want our news on demand, and in turn demand that credible journalists give it to us immediately. And we don't just want written stories – we want video, audio, live feeds, in living color. We'd also prefer it digested into cool headlines, in 140 characters, in 6-second vines and matching quizzes. Now, journalists need all these tools of the trade and more. And how do PR pros reach them?

PR Is Stuck In The 20th Century
Getting Your Message Heard in Washington, D.C.
Editor's Note: Dr. David K. Rehr is moderating the panel "Getting Heard in Washington: Communication Strategies That Work," with featured guests Anna Palmer, senior reporter/columnist, Politico and Jeffrey Davis, senior vice president, AARP at the PRSA 2014 International Conference on Monday, Oct. 13, from 10–11:15 a.m. The following is a guest post previewing their session.
What kind of communication is received on Capitol Hill?
Imagine you work on Capitol Hill, either as an elected member of Congress or as a congressional staffer. Every day, literally tens of thousands of constituents, special interest groups, non-profit organizations, private business interests, embassy representatives or academic experts send you messages to impact your decision-making on public policy issues being considered in the U.S. Congress.

Update Your Media Training for the Interview of the Future
Hurricane Isaac was coming ashore. The Weather Channel and CNN dispatched their correspondent to the banks of the Mississippi River in downtown New Orleans, tethered to a $65,000 HD Camera and a half-million dollar satellite truck. Meanwhile, the anchors back in the studio conducted a series of phone interviews with Emergency Managers and Public Information Officers (PIO) in the path of the hurricane.
So why is it, with the wealth of official knowledge available during storm coverage, the news networks suddenly cut away to interview a seemingly random resident, standing in rising flood waters at his home along Lake Pontchartrain in Mandeville, Louisiana?

Analog vs. Digital: Traditional Media Fights to Remain Relevant
The pace of change is accelerating … you'd have to live under a rock not to notice that this theme is repeatedly resonating in the sessions at the PRSA International Conference. What was interesting about this session analyzing analog versus digital media and moderated by Henry P. Feintuch, president of Feintuch Communications, and Susan Dingenthal, new media consultant for Sandusky Radio, was the varying experiences of the participants who attended.
After a discussion of the timeline of the decline of newspapers and their valiant effort to fight back with blogs and online content, Henry Feintuch categorized the print media's response as, "they are fumbling, experimenting."

Building Trust in a Media Maelstrom
Those involved in responding to the Virginia Tech incident reported more than 1000 reporters were on scene. Add to that number the tens of thousands of bloggers, passersby with cell cameras and individuals commenting on news sites who are part of the new army of "citizen journalists."
For any large and powerful organization, building and maintaining trust has never been so challenging. Most news is now conveyed in the form of a melodrama, with a black hat, a white hat, and some form of the public good (health, safety, environmental harm) serving as the maiden in distress. If you are being accused of putting the public at risk in some way, guess which hat you get to wear when the story is told? The blame game must be played — there is no way out.
So how can trust be built in this kind of negative environment? Remember the three drivers of the instant news world: speed, direct communication and transparency.

2014 Countdown to 100 Years Patch Set$35.00
Featured are pictures of the West is Best Mustang Diecast car posing with the CHP Dodge Charger (click on either image to view the original image). That car is unexpectedly speedy! Below is a video of Region Chief Joe Garcia, past Section Chiefs Mark Ishizu and Ben LeRoy, and Region Webmaster Michael Millerick descend the climbing wall in style.
Make sure you check the Western Region calendar for the dates of your Section's next conclave, and make sure to register for it as soon as possible! Each conclave is different than each of the previous conclaves. Each conclave offers a new experience, and endless friendship and fellowship.
There is a reason the Order of the Arrow is known as Scouting's National Honor Society; its members are elected by their units to honor those Scouts and Scouters who exemplify the very best in our programs.
Through your cheerful service and leadership at the 2011 SummitCorps event, you have once again shown yourself to be worthy of the confidence placed in you by those who believed in you at the time of your induction.
But you have done even more than that. By your commitment, your labor, your dedication, and servant leadership, you have brought honor to the Boy Scouts of America, the Order of the Arrow, and yourself.
The physical contributions you made to improving the New River Gorge National River were huge-in fact, it was the largest youth volunteer project in the history of the National Park Service.
Moreover, the donations you raised to support local charities and the good will you created in doing so have built a climate of trust, gratitude, and bonds of friendship with the people of West Virginia. This will serve as a foundation of friendship from which the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve will benefit for many years to come.
Your hard work and service have been exemplary as we launch the next 100 years of Scouting. I thank you for what you have done and for bringing honor to the Boy Scouts of America.
SummitCorps hosted 1404 Scouts and Scout leaders to West Virginia during the month of July, with a new crew arriving each week to construct more than 12 miles of trail at New River Gorge National River. According to Sam Bellomy, the Youth Incident Commander for week four, "It is amazing to see the willingness of the Scouts to give their time, effort and generosity to this community by building trails for generations of community members and for people across the world who will visit this area. Between the trail work and the charitable donations and everything this project has done for the community, it demonstrates the perfect example of servant leadership."
For the majority of the volunteers, it was their first time in West Virginia. They paid their own way to travel here and perform arduous trail work for free; leaving a legacy for anyone to enjoy for years to come.
However, the Scouts did not stop at just giving sweat equity to West Virginia. Each week, they held a patch auction to raise money for local charities and organizations. Trading patches-a time held tradition in Scouting, enabled participants to turn cloth into cash and patches into possibility.
Leon Brush, the Co-founder and Executive Director of Brian's Safehouse shared his thoughts about the donations. "The connection as I see it is that all of the activities that Scouts are able to participate in with the Boy Scouts of America, are opportunities that addicts do not have. Our ministry is to help those who have fallen by the wayside return back to the activities of life and become contributing citizens to the world we live in. That is our goal. To partner with the Boy Scouts and have them contribute to our organization gives us a feeling of elation, because we know what they represent, and this will help us to help others be productive citizens. We want these individuals who have fallen to return to the values that the Scouts demonstrate."
In total the Scouts raised $15,357.50 through weekly patch auction. The money raised will support Brian's Safehouse, Burlington United Methodist Children's Home, Just For Kids, Mt. Hope Children's Health Council, Three Rivers Avian Center (animal shelter for injured and endangered wild birds), the Women's Resource Center, and the Youth Museum of Southern West Virginia, Inc,. Taking the OA motto of Cheerful Service to the next level they also raised more than $1000 through a bake sale. Funds from the sale went to a Raleigh County 911 dispatcher who is suffering from cancer and struggling with medical expenses.
Other organizations that benefitted from the four-week service project included the Pine Haven Homeless Shelter, located in Beckley, where 5600 pounds of food was donated which provided more than 100 people daily with nutritious meals (each meal provided 1700 calories) throughout the month of July. Local organizations that provide community meals and food giveaways also received 4200 non-perishable meals valued at more than $25,000.
The values of the Order of the Arrow members are reflected in the cheerful service they provided to the communities of Southern West Virginia. While the SummitCorps trail project takes the participant along the "Evolution of the leader" in four components, (heart, mind, body, and spirit), the overall experience allowed the participants to engage in a personal connection to the land, the local community, and to one another.
This is just the beginning of an ongoing relationship with the National Park Service, neighboring communities, and the Boy Scouts of America as make their new home at The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve.

Please help me troubleshoot my networking problem. Here's what I did:
1) Boot to mythbuntu cd, wireless works out-of-the-box, including WPA!!
2) Choose install. Default options mostly everywhere, use whole disk.
3) Select PVR-350 as capture card. Scan for channels.
4) Run Update Manager and get 60+ updates over the wireless connection.
At this point, wireless works flawlessly, roaming mode through network manager, big signal strength, couldn't be smoother. Then...
5) Follow instructions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=568074 to get X running over the PVR-350 tv-out.
Everything looks good, live tv works, recording works, XFCE on my TV, BUT...now my wireless won't associate with the router. Several wireless networks (mine plus neighbors) are listed in the network manager dropdown list, but they all show no signal strength. If I choose my network, network manager tries to connect, but gives up and goes back to the wired connection after a little while. If I try to use a manual config, same thing happens when it tries to associate.
But wait, it gets weirder: While researching the trouble, I found a post that said that sometimes ACPI can interfere with this particular wireless card, so i set pci=noacpi in the grub boot menu.lst. After rebooting, the networks still show no signal strength, but then it appears that I can associate. However, although network manager indicates it is connected, I can't ping the router, can't surf, etc. i.e. not really connected.
Now, I admit that my wireless card is known to be somewhat troublesome (Eidemax with RT61 chip), but there is no question it worked before the X over tv-out step. Sure, I could try installing serial monkey drivers or use ralink's with ndiswrapper, but it worked out of the box before! Is that too much to ask???
Does the fact that I can see all the networks, but they all show no signal strength indicate a particular type of networking problem?
I have not tried turning WPA off on my router to see if I can make a basic connection. BUT IT WORKED BEFORE...
Any ideas????
