Tallahassee, FL - "So help me God..."
Charlie Crist took office four years ago vowing to be 'The people's governor'... A man who would put populism over politics. And by his own account, he's done exactly that. In an exclusive interview, Governor Crist says he's most proud of his fiscal conservatism - historic for its reach.
Gov. Charlie Crist says, "I signed the largest tax cut in the history of the state, reduced government spending more than any governor in the history of Florida, about 7.4 billion dollars in reductions, and I'm very pleased for that, and I think it's what the people wanted and needed, particularly in this economy."
And yet, he was defeated in his bid for the U.S. Senate, with his old Republican friends calling Crist a 'political chameleon'... A man who abandoned his GOP principles in the name of winning higher office.
Q: Why the criticism, do you think?
A: I think it's because I was kind to President Obama.
At a stimulus rally in February 2009, Crist may well have sealed his political fate with 'the hug'... An enthusiastic embrace of Obama and his policies at around the same time the Tea Party was gaining strength.
Q: I know you've made the argument that you would have left regardless of whether or not you trailed Marco Rubio by 30 points in the U.S. Senate race, but I have to tell you, governor, a lot of people find that very hard to believe. What would you tell them?
A: Well, it was pure and simple. The hard right part of the Republican Party really had taken hold. You know, I was anti-tax, pro-life, wanted to do the kinds of things that generally Republicans embraced, but it wasn't pure enough, and I'm not sure what that meant, but it made me uncomfortable, so I became an independent. It's not about one club or the other!
In the end, the governor's move to the middle may be his legacy in the history books. But, Crist points out he's a young man - only 54 years old - with a name recognition few politicians in Florida can match. Not that he'll make any promises about returning to the political stage... Just a wish.
Crist says, "I hope that Charlie - me - will be remembered as a nice person who cared about others and tried to work hard for the people of his state."

The Word "Walk" in the Book of Ephesians
The Greek verb peripateo, rendered "walk" in the English Bible, is found 96 times in the New Testament. Eight of these are in Ephesians.
The word is composed of two roots, peri (around), and pateo (walk). Literally, to "walk around." Figuratively, it denotes the sphere of one's existence, his manner of life. It can be used negatively (for evil), or positively (denoting a realm of righteousness).
Let us consider the former first, then the latter.
- The Christian is to abandon the life he once "walked," which was according to the influence of Satan in disobedience (2:2). The aorist tense verb sums up the sinner's entire life of rebellion.
- He is not to "walk" as the Gentiles do, with a vain (empty, producing no good result) mind (4:17). The present tense form indicates that the child of God does not permit vain thinking to dominate him.
- The saint is not to "walk" in an unwise fashion (5:15). The term "unwise" literally suggests "as a fool."
By way of contrast:
- Consistent with workmanship of God, who made us new creatures through the conversion process, we are to "walk" after those good works that are in harmony with the character of the Lord himself, the pattern of which was in the divine Mind eons before man was fashioned (2:10).
- The child of God is required to "walk" worthily of the high calling he has accepted, with lowliness, meekness, longsuffering, and forbearance, diligently maintaining the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (4:1-3).
- We must "walk" (present tense — consistently) in love (agape — the love that is dedicated to the spiritual interests of others), just as Christ loved us, having demonstrated such by the sacrifice of himself (5:2).
- Christians must "walk" (present tense — on a sustained basis) as children of light (illuminated ones), proving (5:10) what is well-pleasing unto the Lord (5:8). "Proving" carries the idea of making a critical examination of something.
- We must "walk" carefully as people who are wise (5:15). The term "carefully" is an adverb that denotes accuracy that is the result of great care. In the New Testament sense, it implies "strict conformity to a standard or norm" (Danker, Greek Lexicon, 2000, p. 39). "Wise" suggests the seasoned ability to apply what one has learned from the Scriptures.
It is vital that the servants of Christ pursue their daily "walk" with serious resolution, seeing that it is within the boundaries of divine revelation.

Brennan guides CBC to last eight
CBC Monkstown 24 St Mary's College 10:This had all the appearance of a 50-50 match-up. It didn't quite turn out that way as openside Andrew Brennan reeled off two tries in five minutes to guide CBC Monkstown to the last eight of the Powerade Leinster Schools Senior Cup at Donnybrook yesterday.
Initially, a sharp break by scrum-half Ben Mahon put CBC in behind. Hooker Dylan Hanney carried hard and tight-head Eoghan McKeever was on hand to use his brute strength for the opening try, converted by Mahon in the seventh minute.
St Mary's were not too bothered about this setback, striking back immediately when the handy work of centre Ben McAuliffe was the key to putting full-back Terry Kennedy over on the left.
The far bigger CBC boys had confidence in the tight. It showed in their dominant scrum and when they opted to drive a 5-metre penalty for Brennan to launch for the line. Mahon was inch-perfect from the conversion to make it 14-5 in the 17th minute.
Then, Brennan scooped up an unprotected ball from the side of a St Mary's scrum to accelerate away from a host of chasers from 40 metres out. Mahon converted.
When St Mary's could get into a rhythm, they looked dangerous.
Their next sojourn into enemy territory found favour in the hands of replacement wing Fred Daly, ducking inside the cover to make it 21-10 just before the half hour.
The balance of power did not shift with the wind at St Mary's backs on resumption. CBC were content to play it smart, keeping the ball well in hand.
They showed patience to draw a penalty and misguided confidence in going for the corner when Mahon was three-from-three with the boot.
St Mary's just couldn't access the ball with any fluency as a gusting wind, rain and biting cold blew in.
It played into the winners physical strength as the cold snap made handling a liability, Mahon hitting an injury-time penalty.
CBC MONKSTOWN: M Halwax; H Godson-Treacy, M Courtney, A Swan, S Smyth; C Cullinane, B Mahon; K Patterson, D Hanney, E McKeever, B Keavney, J McGrath, J Brown, A Brennan, M O'Maho ny (capt). Replacements: S Drummond for Smyth 51 mins; C McDonald for Keavney, S O'Donnell for Godson-Treacy both 61 mins.

More information about this loan
This loan supports Komak clients who are designated as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Azerbaijan. An internally displaced person (IDP) is someone who has been forced to flee his or her home due to armed conflict, violence, human rights violations, or natural or manmade disasters, but who, unlike a refugee, has not crossed an international border. Azerbaijan is home to over 600,000 IDPs, who face limited access to employment adequate housing, water and electricity. Many of these people have also failed to qualify for loans through formal channels due to low income and lack of collateral. Komak has been working to support IDPs since 1999. By funding this loan, you are creating opportunities in extremely underserved communities.
About KomakKomak means "help" in Azerbaijani. As of its creation in 1999, Komak has kept true to its name by helping thousands of Internally Displaced Persons, refugees and the economically disadvantaged by providing these groups with sustainable credit services. As of 2010 Komak's $2.5 million portfolio serves 1513 clients, 81% of whom are IDPs, and 40% of borrowers are women. In 2009, Komak was cited in a report by the United Nations General Assembly as one of Azerbaijan's prominent forces in restoring the local economy by enabling small and medium enterprises with credit.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Educational school gardens are cropping up all over
Three pumpkins on the picnic bench inside Silver Gate's 6-year-old school garden aren't Halloween remnants. Grown in one of the garden's 10 raised beds, they were part of a lesson on circumference for fourth-graders, explains the garden's volunteer coordinator Loc Leute.
Everything in this garden in a corner of the playground and a new one outside the school's kindergarten area becomes lessons, including the worm bin donated by Solana Center.
"Kids pick up cafeteria scraps to feed the worms," says Leute, who sends a weekly e-blast to parents with lesson plans. "Students learn how to observe the worms, how to tell the head from the tail. They learn recycling, and, with the worm gold (castings), they learn that soil has to be fed, too."
More than 400 students revel in Leute's innovative programs that teach food origins while sampling pesto from garden-grown basils, or foster cooperation while building pea trellises. Twice a year, she organizes farmers markets at the school to raise funds for the garden through sales of donated and school-raised produce, teas from the herb garden and lemonade. The program profits, and so do the kids as they learn math and beginning business skills.
The lessons live on after the last squash is harvested. Silver Gate principal Sandy McClure recalls a walk while camping with her two elementary-school-age sons. "One was explaining how leaves on the ground will decompose," she says. "I know he learned that in the garden."
Cajon Park, K-eighth Grade, Santee
Retired teacher Darrell Eastis now volunteers in the school garden he founded here in the early 1990s. The tiny garden outside his classroom moved years ago to a large fenced corner of the playground, where two dozen planting beds now keep students and parent volunteers busy throughout the school day.
"So much can be taught here," he says, as a group of excited first-graders collect leaves to feed a hornworm they discovered. "We do science, art — they sketch in the garden — chart the weather, learn about life cycles. It's all here." There's even quiet time for reading in the sheltered "sunflower house" Eastis cultivates every year.
Master Gardener Judy Crall, who first volunteered when her granddaughter studied here, and first-grader parent Kevin Furtado help kids harvest cherry tomatoes that will be washed and served as a snack along with slices of a garden-harvested zucchini. "The hands-down favorite plant here is strawberries. They eat them big time," Crall says. "And this year we planted extra onions. The kids were so proud to take one home."
Eagle Scout Ryan St. James recently coordinated rebuilding of the raised beds, and the California Rare Fruit Growers donated a dozen new fruit trees. To add access for special needs students, Lowe's donated materials to construct a tall-sided bed and another grant funded the concrete slab surrounding it.
"Just seeing the kids eat better, work in teams, go in multiple directions, and build self confidence — I love it," Crall says. "When I can't move, just plant me here."

Yo Cutie Cuties! Tori Spelling's New Family Pics (Photos)Shana Aborn
Okay, is it just me, or is Yo Gabba Gabba the freakiest weird-you-out show since the glory days of Sid and Marty Krofft? I'm sorry, but I just can't get into watching oversized costumed characters with frozen faces bop around and wave their arms – not when I'm sober, anyway.
I'll give them props for the music and for terrific guest stars like Jack Black, Mark Mothersbaugh and Jack McBrayer, but otherwise, it's The Banana Splits all over again. No party in this tummy, thanks.
But there are zillions of kids who would totally disagree with me, including Tori Spelling's threesome, Liam, Stella and baby Hattie. Tori just shared this picture on Twitter today of the kids sporting their Gabba gear.
(Aren't adorable kids' hats the best thing about winter?)
"Is that Liam, Hattie and Stella or Plex, Tuttie and Foofa from @yogabbagabba?" she tweeted.
(Pssst…that's Toodie. One should always be accurate when discussing blue cat-dragon hybrids.)
Well, I still prefer wearing my knit monkey hat and watching other terrifying shows featuring outrageous costumes – like Toddlers & Tiaras.
Hmm. On second thought…
Have a look at some of Tori's other pictures of the new year!

Homeless Shelters in New York Fill to Highest Level Since 80's
Published: February 8, 2001
(Page 2 of 2)
Mayor Giuliani and his predecessor, David N. Dinkins, both turned away from the use of hotels as shelters for families in the 1990's, and the bulk of regular shelter placements are now provided by private nonprofit organizations under city contract. But in December the city had 1,334 families lodged in 29 hotels, city figures show, up from 887 families in 16 hotels in December 1999.
An apartment rent subsidy program was announced in October, but it is only now getting under way, with the first 17 of 350 families selected, but not yet housed.
The length of stay by families in the shelter system has increased as families are unable to find affordable apartments. Even those able to obtain federal housing vouchers -- a subsidy sharply cut by Congress in the 1990's -- often cannot find landlords willing to accept them. In October, Mr. Oesterreich said, the city began increasing a bonus paid to landlords who rent to homeless families, but that has not eased the bottleneck.
A state court found in January that more than 700 people were crowded into the Emergency Assistance Unit daily, including children missing school because only one-night beds had been provided for them. As many as 32 families a night were left to sleep on the floor or on benches, in violation of previous court orders, the court found, adding that the lack of a cleaning staff ''makes it an extremely unhealthy place for a particularly vulnerable population.''
The judge, Helen E. Freedman of State Supreme Court in Manhattan, who has overseen the city's family shelter system under a longstanding court decree, ordered the city to remedy the situation. She said the city should have anticipated the need for more places for refugees from domestic violence, because a new hot line promoted in subway ads now receives 12,000 calls a year.
The city's Human Resources Administration, which is responsible for screening and housing families fleeing domestic abuse, has created 450 beds in specialized shelters, and it sends 500 more of the families each night to the Department of Homeless Services, according to Patrick Markee, a senior policy analyst for the Coalition for the Homeless.
Yesterday, as guards outside the Emergency Assistance Unit ordered families not to speak to a newspaper photographer, one woman who had been seeking shelter with her husband, a hotel worker, and six children called a reporter from a pay phone around the corner and complained about the family's eviction and the conditions they had found in seeking shelter.
She said the family had been receiving public assistance and food stamps to supplement her husband's wages. She withheld her share of the rent from their landlord in the Bronx to force him to correct health hazards that she said had repeatedly sent her asthmatic son to the hospital. Instead, she said, they were evicted, and they turned to the Emergency Assistance Unit a week ago.
''This place is horrible,'' she said. ''There's garbage on the floor. They've been busing us at night to a place in the Bronx where they do a full body search, even on the children. But we got no place else.''

Some families, given beds for only a night at a time, have had to return repeatedly to the Emergency Assistance Unit in the Bronx. (James Estrin/The New York Times)(pg. B6) Chart: ''Seeking Shelter'' The number of homeless people in the New York City shelter system has risen to a level not seen since the late 1980's.

The Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) has released a list of 22 hotels and resorts that have been Halal certified for breaking of fast or iftar events during the month of Ramadan. They have also informed 34 foreign dignitaries and trade attaches of the said list.
Jakim Director General Datuk Wan Mohamad Sheikh Abdul Aziz said they have issued a circular to all representatives of Islamic states through their embassies and high commissions beginning yesterday.
"We have informed the embassies and have requested their cooperation to acknowledge that only Jakim and the State Islamic Departments (JAIN) are the only bodies recognized by the government to issue Halal certification in Malaysia," he said in a statement today.
A total of 22 hotels dan 51 kitchens in and around Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya have been Halal certified as of August 9 2010.
Wan Mohamad said Jakim will encourage all foreign dignitaries to make their reservations only at Halal certified hotels by Jakim and JAIN for any official celebrations or iftar events.

Complex adaptive systems (cas), including ecosystems, governments, biological cells, and markets, are characterized by intricate hierarchical arrangements of boundaries and signals. In ecosystems, for example, niches act as semi-permeable boundaries, and smells and visual patterns serve as signals; governments have departmental hierarchies with memoranda acting as signals; and so it is with other cas. Despite a wealth of data and descriptions concerning different cas, there remain many unanswered questions about "steering" these systems.
Multiagent systems are made up of multiple interacting intelligent agents—computational entities to some degree autonomous and able to cooperate, compete, communicate, act flexibly, and exercise control over their behavior within the frame of their objectives. They are the enabling technology for a wide range of advanced applications relying on distributed and parallel processing of data, information, and knowledge relevant in domains ranging from industrial manufacturing to e-commerce to health care.
One of the enduring concerns of moral philosophy is deciding who or what is deserving of ethical consideration. Much recent attention has been devoted to the "animal question"—consideration of the moral status of nonhuman animals. In this book, David Gunkel takes up the "machine question": whether and to what extent intelligent and autonomous machines of our own making can be considered to have legitimate moral responsibilities and any legitimate claim to moral consideration.
In development for thirty years, Soar is a general cognitive architecture that integrates knowledge-intensive reasoning, reactive execution, hierarchical reasoning, planning, and learning from experience, with the goal of creating a general computational system that has the same cognitive abilities as humans. In contrast, most AI systems are designed to solve only one type of problem, such as playing chess, searching the Internet, or scheduling aircraft departures.
When we play the ancient and noble game of chess, we grapple with ideas about honesty, deceitfulness, bravery, fear, aggression, beauty, and creativity, which echo (or allow us to depart from) the attitudes we take in our daily lives. Chess is an activity in which we deploy almost all our available cognitive resources; therefore, it makes an ideal laboratory for investigation into the workings of the mind. Indeed, research into artificial intelligence (AI) has used chess as a model for intelligent behavior since the 1950s.
The capacity to think about our own thinking may lie at the heart of what it means to be both human and intelligent. Philosophers and cognitive scientists have investigated these matters for many years. Researchers in artificial intelligence have gone further, attempting to implement actual machines that mimic, simulate, and perhaps even replicate this capacity, called metareasoning. In this volume, leading authorities offer a variety of perspectives—drawn from philosophy, cognitive psychology, and computer science—on reasoning about the reasoning process.
Mobile robots range from the Mars Pathfinder mission's teleoperated Sojourner to the cleaning robots in the Paris Metro. This text offers students and other interested readers an introduction to the fundamentals of mobile robotics, spanning the mechanical, motor, sensory, perceptual, and cognitive layers the field comprises. The text focuses on mobility itself, offering an overview of the mechanisms that allow a mobile robot to move through a real world environment to perform its tasks, including locomotion, sensing, localization, and motion planning.
In The Allure of Machinic Life, John Johnston examines new forms of nascent life that emerge through technical interactions within human-constructed environments--"machinic life"--in the sciences of cybernetics, artificial life, and artificial intelligence. With the development of such research initiatives as the evolution of digital organisms, computer immune systems, artificial protocells, evolutionary robotics, and swarm systems, Johnston argues, machinic life has achieved a complexity and autonomy worthy of study in its own right.
Online decision making under uncertainty and time constraints represents one of the most challenging problems for robust intelligent agents. In an increasingly dynamic, interconnected, and real-time world, intelligent systems must adapt dynamically to uncertainties, update existing plans to accommodate new requests and events, and produce high-quality decisions under severe time constraints.
Today, when computing is pervasive and deployed over a range of devices by a multiplicity of users, we need to develop computer software to interact with both the ever-increasing complexity of the technical world and the growing fluidity of social organizations. The Art of Agent-Oriented Modeling presents a new conceptual model for developing software systems that are open, intelligent, and adaptive. It describes an approach for modeling complex systems that consist of people, devices, and software agents in a changing environment (sometimes known as distributed sociotechnical systems).

Literary pizza
The writerly community in Pittsburgh is full of surprises. Not only do we read, write, criticize and smooze, we can also cook. The other night, I joined forces with Sherrie Flick, doyen of Gist Street Reading Series and fine fiction writer, to feed our homemade pizza to a crowd at Diane and Chuck Kinder's sumptuously renovated kitchen on Wightman Street.
Sherrie, being more of a "Moosewood Cookbook" baker, favors the hearty whole-wheat crust and curious toppings including crushed pistachios and pomegranate.
On the other hand, I as a follower of Marcella Hazan, go for the Napoli style of thin, thin crust, fresh marina and fresh mozzerella. (My secret: Doppio Zero flour, direct from Italia via Pennsylvania Macaroni).
The combination was perfecto -- hearty, healthy on one hand, light and airy on the other. Expertly using the two-oven Kinder kitchen, Sherrie and I, with baking stones, pizza peel and lots of vino, kept the pizzas coming. Thanks to Sherrie's hubby, Rick, for the photos
. Thanks to Chuck and Diane for the hospitality and, as always, generous spirit.

Methanex Corporation, a Canadian marketer and distributor of methanol, has submitted a claim to arbitration under the UNCITRAL rules on its own behalf for alleged injuries resulting from a California ban on the use or sale in California of the gasoline additive MTBE. Methanol is an ingredient used to manufacture MTBE.
Methanex contends that a Califiornia Executive Order and the regulations banning MTBE expropriated parts of its investments in the United States in violation of Article 1110, denied it fair and equitable treatment in accordance with international law in violation of Article 1105, and denied it national treatment in violation of Article 1102. Methanex claims damages of $1 billion.
The United States denies that the tribunal has jurisdiction over the claims and denies that any of the alleged measures violated the NAFTA. A hearing on jurisdiction and admissibility was held in July 2001.

I seen your post about a Dynasty League. I am starting one this year and I just had a guy drop out at the last minute.. If it's something you'd be interested in let me know and we can talk things over some more…
Before I get into the details, I should tell you it is a free league. I'm fairly new to RW and I never really thought about money leagues but it's something I could see myself doing in the future.. So if payouts are a must then the rest of this message won't mean much.. But if your main goal is to find a league that's extremely tough and competitive, then we might be a good fit..
A little about what I'm looking for… The biggest thing is that for awhile now I've been very frustrated with being apart of leagues that have maybe 1-2 owners that are weak or average at best.. Guys that everyone else knows has zero chance of winning and they usually pick on these guys in trades.. Even worse is that it's acceptable by the commissioners, and hearing something like "well there's always going to be one". I've been looking to raise the overall level of play and that's why I've been working on this league for over a year now.. All but one of the owners I've known for at least 2 years now and some as long as 7 and this is easily the strongest group I've ever been apart of.. What I'm looking for in an owner is someone that knows their stuff, both with major leaguers and especially prospects, and someone that is looking for a league that will make them better based on the competition they are up against..
Now for the details:
12 Team H2H Dynasty League
Each Team will also have a 10 man minor league roster
7x7 Scoring: R, HR, RBI, SB, XBH, AVG, BB x W, QS, K, S, Hold, ERA, WHIP
MLB Roster (27 spots): C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, LF, CF, RF, OF, UTIL, UTIL, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, RP, P, P, P, B, B, B, B, B, B, DL, DL, DL
MiLB Roster (10): Any combination of position players and prospects.
The Drafts will be held via Message Board and the site we will use is a Yahoo Groups page.. I've done leagues/drafts on this site before and it works perfectly for this.
There's more rules and details that we can go over if you are interested. So let me know what you think and then we'll talk some more… Have a good one!
Posted 05 February 2013 - 07:58 PM
12-team 7x7 keeper league hosted on ESPN.
Scoring will be Roto and the categories scored will be: BA / HR / R / RBI / SB / OPS / FPCT and ERA / K / WHIP / QS / K/9 / K:BB / SV+HD.
It is a snake draft (auto-random order) to be held on Sunday, March 3rd at 2 PM ET. Each team gets a 25-man roster.
At the end of the season you will be allowed to keep up to 9 players in exchange for a draft pick at the beginning of next season (ESPN's system does this automatically).
If you are interested in joining or if you have other questions please either comment or PM me.

SEATTLE — The Washington Department of Corrections was wrong to fire three corrections officers and demote a sergeant for their actions around the time a guard was killed in a prison chapel two years ago, an arbitrator ruled.
Prison officials had accused the guards of misconduct, dereliction of duty and of purposely misleading investigators in the death of officer Jayme Biendl, who was strangled by a prisoner at the Monroe Correctional Complex.
In an award signed Sunday, arbitrator Michael Cavanaugh ruled in favor of an appeal from the Teamsters union. He ordered the reinstatement of the three officers and the sergeant with back pay and benefits. Three of the four should have been reprimanded, not fired or demoted, and the fourth should not have been disciplined, he said.
Cavanaugh noted that investigations by the state Department of Labor and Industries and the National Institute of Corrections found systemic problems in the prison's procedures and equipment, as well as a widespread culture of complacency among supervisors and managers.
"The arbitrator's ruling clearly demonstrates that the DOC imposed unfair discipline on its employees in the wake of this terrible tragedy," Tracey A. Thompson, secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 117, said Tuesday.
Biendl was strangled with an amplifier cord in January 2011 in the prison chapel. Inmate Byron Scherf, a convicted rapist who was already serving a life sentence, was convicted of aggravated murder in May and sentenced to death.
Scherf told investigators he had been in the chapel and started to leave when the prisoners were ordered back to their cells. But then he stopped, told another inmate he had forgotten his hat, and went back inside, where Biendl was alone.
One officer, David Young, was fired for being outside his assigned zone, where he might have seen an inmate return to the chapel. But the arbitrator found it was common for Young and other guards to be outside their assigned zones, and he had never been officially reprimanded about it before.
Officer George Lyons was fired for making a logbook entry indicating the chapel had been cleared of prisoners even though Biendl never gave an all-clear. The third, Charles Maynard, was fired for failing to properly inspect and secure the chapel when the prisoner accused in the killing was located. All three also were accused of giving inconsistent statements or lying to investigators, though Cavanaugh said there was no evidence of intentional dishonesty.

Pac-12, Big Ten and ACC set to produce awful conference title-game matchups
Back in 2004, the Big 12 South Division (yes, the Big 12 once had divisions) went 15-3 against its North Division comrades. Colorado and Iowa State tied for first place in the North, at 4-4.
By 2008, the Big 12 South had slipped. It went just 14-4 against the North.
That's the standard for division dominance, and it won't be matched in 2012. Not for lack of trying.
Three major conferences have lopsided divisions, for various reasons, which promise to offer up dud conference championship games the weekend of Nov. 30-Dec. 1.
Pac-12: The North Division is 12-7 against the South, and that's with Washington State going 0-2 with a loss to awful Colorado.
The top three teams in the Pac-12 are in the North – Oregon, Oregon State and Stanford. UCLA, at 4-2, leads the South, but the Bruins still have to play Southern Cal and Stanford. USC is 4-3 and Arizona State are 3-3, and they play Saturday.
Big Ten: The Legends Division (Nebraska, Michigan, Northwestern, Michigan State, Iowa and Minnesota) is 7-6 against the Leaders Division. Sounds like parity.
Except the best two teams in the Leaders, Ohio State and Penn State, are on probation and ineligible for the Big Ten title. Which makes Wisconsin, 3-2, and Indiana, 2-3, the contenders to play in the Big Ten title game. Indiana hosts Wisconsin on Saturday, which means the Hoosiers, losers to Ball State and Navy, control their own destiny.
ACC: The Atlantic Division (Florida State, Clemson, North Carolina State, Wake Forest, Maryland and Boston College) is just 9-7 against the Coastal Division. Except the league's two best teams are Florida State and Clemson, and the Coastal has yet to identify a good team.
Miami leads at 4-2, barely ahead of 3-2 North Carolina, which also is ineligible for the ACC title game. Which means the Miami-Duke game next week could determine the division rep. The Miami-Duke winner could be 7-5.
So let's review, the weekend of all the conference title games, while Alabama and Georgia are knocking heads in a battle royale, the other games could be Oregon against 8-4 USC, Nebraska against Indiana and Florida State against 7-5 Miami.
On Dec. 1, Kansas State hosts Texas, and the Wildcats could be playing for a 12-0 season. I don't think anybody is going to be missing the Big 12 championship game.

Recycling Application Pools using WMI in IIS 6.0
Can one recycle an application from a script in IIS 6.0?
We (MS) certainly improved our story around ensuring reliablity and performance with the release of IIS 6.0. IIS 6.0 has had numerous positive comments around the process archictecture and also the server's ability to maintain it's own health. The building blocks of the reliability of IIS 6.0 is around the creation of this term called "Application Pools." Without sounding nuts, let me just phrase this as meaning "Application Pools are a single or collection of application chosen to be isolated based on application demands."
That is why we here so often at Microsoft that administrators are continually frustrated by the overall lack of guidance in the area of recycling. What are the guidelines for recycling? For example, is state (application or session) lost? Are connections reset or are friendly errors such as 503's returned?
To save time, check out this webcast we did on this topic for more information to answers relating to this question...
Recycling IIS 6.0 Applications: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The powerful new architecture of IIS 6.0 relies on techniques such as recycling of worker processes for application reliability and availability. This webcast explains recycling and focuses on some of its potential pitfalls. Learn how to configure the ASP.NET session state service to maintain uptime while minimizing interruptions of application availability.
I seem to send the same code out that I swiped from a program manager and tester (Thanks Alexis and Bruno) here at Microsoft so I thought, hey, why not post it. This simple code if copied onto a IIS server will allow a user to recycle an application pool. To do so, you will simply need to paste this into a text file and save it as RecycleAppPool.js. To use it, simply type in the following:
RecycleAppPool.js <AppPoolNameString>
For example, to recycle the DefaultAppPool that is configured on Windows Server 2003 by default, type the following -
RecycleAppPool.js DefaultAppPool
// get app pool name
cmdArgs = WScript.Arguments;
var appPoolName = cmdArgs(0);
WScript.Echo("This application pool will be recycled: " + appPoolName);
// instantiate the IIS WMI provider
var service = GetObject( "winmgmts:/root/MicrosoftIISv2" );
var appPools = service.ExecQuery(
"SELECT * FROM IIsApplicationPool " +
" WHERE Name LIKE '%/" + appPoolName + "' "
var appPoolEnum = new Enumerator( appPools );
for( ; ! appPoolEnum.atEnd(); appPoolEnum.moveNext() )
After first releasing this, someone asked me if I might know of a mechanism to do this using WMI and managed code. After the help of Alexis, I have located this sample which should allow you to do the very same -
Save this to a file called recycle.cs
In the directory where this file is located, use the following command to compile as a .exe
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\csc.exe /r:System.dll /r:System.Management.dll /t:exe Recycle.cs
Now, type recycle.exe. Note, this is a very simple example that does not accept parameters like the example in classic JS script. Thus, it should require some minor modifications.
using System;
using System.Management;
namespace RecycleAppPool
class RecycleAppPool
static void Main(string[] args)
ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope("root\\MicrosoftIISv2");
ManagementObject appPool = new ManagementObject(scope, new ManagementPath("IIsApplicationPool.Name='W3SVC/AppPools/DefaultAppPool'"), null);
appPool.InvokeMethod("Recycle", null, null);
Console.WriteLine("Recycled DefaultAppPool")
I hope that you find this useful and you are welcome to extend the code as you see fit to work in your organizations.
If you are interested in finding the exact application pool string name that is running currently on your systems, use the built-in application "iisapp.vbs" from the command line. It should return something like the following:
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved.
W3WP.exe PID: 596 AppPoolId: DefaultAppPool
If you are one of those who has bit-the-bullet and put 2K3 Service Pack 1 on your machine, you will be happy to know we updated iisapp to now include recycling functionality. Hence, you don't need that script listed above...seriously, give it a shot!
D:\WINDOWS>iisapp /p 596 /r
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved.
Application pool 'DefaultAppPool' recycled successfully.
D:\WINDOWS>iisapp /a DefaultAppPool /r
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6

Imagine you could go to one of the parks for a day, you could only eat in that park and no-where else.
Which Park would you choose and where would you eat?
Well, since we generally consider DHS and AK as 1/2 day parks that sort of eliminates them as choices. If we went to MK then we would probably do Casey's for lunch and either BOG (gotta try it first), Tony's or LTT.
If we went to EPCOT then lunch would probably be either Tangierine Cafe or Sommerfest. Dinner would be a tough choice here. Depending on our experience with Monsieur Paul we may try there.
My Facebook Profile: Facebook

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. - Jimi Hendrix
Such a tough decision! I could easily do it for HS, MK, or Epcot. But it would probably be more between Epcot and MK.
For MK, I'd do Liberty Tree for lunch (I love their food so so much) and BoG or CRT for dinner. It's been a while since I've been to Cinderella's and I'd love to go there again, and I'm sure BoG will be wonderful.
For Epcot, we'd probably do Nine Dragons, Teppan Edo, or Tutto Italia. And whichever we didn't do for lunch we'd do for dinner.
Can't really narrow it down any more than that! Such hard decisions! lol

Bo Diddley done had a farm
On that farm he had some women
Women here, women there
Women, women, women everywhere
But one little girl lived on a hill
She rustled and tustled like Buffalo Bill
One day she decided she'd go for a ride
With a pistol and a sword by her side
She rolled right up to my front door
Knocked an' knocked 'til her fist got sore
When she turned and walked away
All I could hear my baby say
Hey Bo Diddley, Oh Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley, Oh Bo Diddley
Saw my baby run across the field
Slippin' and slidin' like an automobile
Hollerin', my baby got towed away
Slipped on from me like a Cadillac-8
Hey Bo Diddley, Oh Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley, Oh Bo Diddley

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Cobranded packing slips, gift messages http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=53903&th=10826#msg_53903 <![CDATA[I wish for cobranded packing slips for customer orders, featuring a header/logo image and text message from the shop owner.
 (Do packing slips already have the shop banner or logo image on them? Embarrassingly, I buy from my own shop so rarely that I don't know this.)
 Anyway I would like to be able to include a paragraph of text from me about my shop. (While I'm asking for ponies, an additional message specific to each piece would kick butt around the block!)

 Also, I would dearly love a gift-message option accompanying the giftwrap option, to be printed on the packing slip. This, I know from my own shop, is something that customers want very much. It's weird sending a gift item without an accompanying message -- I've actually had gift items returned because the recipient couldn't figure out what it was or who sent it. And it's not that hard to do because you're already generating a different packing slip for gift orders which omits the price...right?

 I'll add this to Feedback when I can log in there.]]> Bathsheba 2012-09-11T21:11:42-00:00 Re: Cobranded packing slips, gift messages http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=53996&th=10826#msg_53996 <![CDATA[Thanks Bathsheba,
