UNC System President Tom Ross Testifies on Behalf of ACE
The House Veterans Affairs (VA) Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity held a hearing yesterday to look at "Defining and Improving Success for Student Veterans" and the current state of the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
Tom Ross, president of the University of North Carolina (UNC) System—where 8,000 students use VA educational benefits—presented testimony at the hearing on behalf of ACE.
In response to questions from committee members, Ross provided suggestions for how the new GI Bill comparison tool at the VA could be further improved. The tool was created under the Improving Transparency of Education Opportunities for Veterans Act, which was signed into law last year.
He also testified about a new policy soon to be implemented for the UNC System which will state that any student who has spent at least two years in the military will automatically be considered a "transfer student" in the admissions process. The military service branch will be considered the "transfer institution of record" and the Joint Services Transcript will be the starting point for evaluating the veteran's military training for possible academic credit.
This best practice helps ensure that institutions are reviewing the Joint Services Transcript, and the ACE credit recommendations it contains, to help veterans receive credit for their prior learning experiences and speed their time to degree.
In her remarks, Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) highlighted the importance of granting college credit for military training as an effective tool in helping ensure that veterans are able to complete their education in a timely manner, particularly in the STEM fields. She noted that businesses often talk about the shortage of Americans who have the skills needed to compete in the 21st century economy, and veterans are particularly well positioned to help fill this gap.
Titus is currently working on a bill that would provide grant funding to help colleges and universities set up bridge programs for veterans to fill the academic gap between training received in the military and college course requirements to facilitate the awarding of academic credit for relevant training in the STEM fields.
For more information and a webcast of the hearing, see the VA committee website.

Good Points
Soft Recoil, fully adjustable stock.
Bad Points
Weak and offset hammer blow has resulted in a high percentage of miss fires with some brands of cartridge, this may be a fault on my particular gun which is currently in for a warranty repair.
General Comments
I moved to this auto to take the strain off my arthritic shoulder (30+ years of shooting) and I use it for clays, pigeons and duck. It will now cycle anything from 24g upwards, there were no problems with 28g loads straight out of the box.

Intel 64-bit Desktop CPU comes to life
Media Encoding
- Mainconcept MPEG Encoder
Mainconcept is a DV conversion utility to convert DV files into MPEG Layer 2 (DVD) quality video files. We use a 1.2GB test file and convert it into a MPEG-2 video at 720x576 at 25fps with stereo sound and calculate the time each system takes to encode the file - less time = better.
Here we see the ability of the new Prescott based Extreme Edition CPU.
XMPEG is a high quality converter based on lossless MPEG/AC3 decoders. It decodes MPEG1 (Audio & Video) and MPEG2 streams and offers you the possibility to re-encode them in the format you want. It exports video and audio frames through an Adobe Premiere interface. To keep the maximum quality of your film, it integrates HQ Bicubic (0, 0.75) and Bessel (for audio) filters. The plugins furnished in this package allow you to create your own DivX, DVD, SVCD with the maximum output quality.
For this we used the same file for Mainconcept, however, this time we used XMPEG to convert the file into a MPEG-4 or DIVX video.
Again the new Prescott Extreme Edition takes the cake.

DEFINITION of 'Stroud Pound'
A local, private currency launched in the British town of Stroud, Gloucestershire, in September 2009. The Stroud pound was introduced as an initiative to support and stimulate the local economy by committing consumers to buy local produce, goods and services, thereby encouraging the development of businesses and jobs, locally. The Stroud Pound is modeled on the chiemgauer, a local currency used in southern Germany.
The currency is administered by the Stroud Pound Co-op Ltd., a non-profit enterprise run by volunteers. Every Stroud pound is recorded and backed by a sterling pound held in a dedicated bank account.
BREAKING DOWN 'Stroud Pound'
The Stroud pound is not intended to replace the United Kingdom's official currency - the pound sterling - as it is designed to be a complementary currency, rather than an alternative currency. It is issued in four denominations - £1, £2, £5 and £10; the currency notes are printed on special paper with a number of security features to dissuade forgers.
In order to encourage circulation, the Stroud pound system incorporates a number of features such as having a limited life of two years, losing value after six months and having a 5% redemption fee for traders.

SYDNEY (MarketWatch) -- Japanese stocks gained on Monday morning, with the Nikkei Stock Average NIK, +0.68% rising 0.3% to 11,226.76. Friday's performance on Wall Street provided a strong lead for Asia, after U.S. jobs data helped sharemarkets post sharp gains. With the dollar advancing to 92.68 yen, from 92.50 yen in late North American trading on Friday, autos were pushing higher in Tokyo. Nissan Motor Co. 7201, +0.36% NSANY, +0.45% climbed 2.1% and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. 7211, -0.21% MMTOF, -0.87% rose 2.9%.

Steelmaker JFE Holdings Inc. 5411, -1.10% jumped 5.8%, helped by an upgrade to buy from neutral at Daiwa Securities.

I have left phone messages and sent emails and i have had no replies. Very poor service and would NOT recommend this company for buying goods. I will be taking this matter further.

Recommended to Dorothy by: Santa Claus
not my cup of tea. I like the classic cozy mystery style. A puzzle, all the clues are hidden there in the text of the novel for you to try to solve it. This wasn't that.
The authors do slightly hint that the amateur sleuths are christians and that God...could also be a brilliant problem solver....might have been a lot further along had they turned this problem over to God, too." p.268 But I would have liked to then see them add more development there and have the sleuths share when they did that ...more

Not as good as the first. Did not move along in reading, as did the first book. Interesting plot. The last third was really the best part of the book. This book dwells more on the the relationship between Nigel and Flick.
Jan 11, 2014 Lorna rated it liked it
The second in the series just didn't really hold my interest. Perhaps I didn't care about the mystery enough to be overly interested in how it was solved. Or, I was just busy with the holiday season and a little distracted. It wasn't a bad book, just not a great one.

Shelves: owned, could-not-finish
There was something that turned me off - the relationship between the two protagonists, the museum directors, that I couldn't quite buy into and then I saw that there was a start of a Christian slant to the book which turned me off.
Sep 25, 2011 Kimberly rated it it was amazing · review of another edition
Shelves: cosy-mystery
I have enjoyed this series. It is not very fast moving and goes into details about tea or English tradition that don't really have anything to do with the story, but you get a feel for England the characters. It is clean and the characters have values and morsls. It is so nice to see an author with values.
Feb 26, 2012 Raquel Rochelle rated it it was ok
Shelves: 2012
The mystery storyline and characters were entertaining but there were a few sections that included some religious concepts that didn't fit well with the overall trajectory of the book. Though infrequent and brief, those sections negatively impacted my experience of this book.
Apr 03, 2013 Marsha rated it it was ok
Shelves: mystery
This is a throwaway, read-me-at-night book that doesn't require much of a stretch of brain power. I almost can't believe I put it on my Kindle, but I did. The characters are as bland as the English rain and the 'mystery' is a stretch. Can't recommend.

Shelves: mystery-cozy, mystery-british, fiction, gave-traded, mystery-1950-to-current
Despite being a Christian publisher, the book was not preachy, except for the few paragraphs that supposedly turned the hero around. Even though there was a murder and Cold War era spies, this was a nice non-violent cozy.
Jun 26, 2011 Samm Seals rated it liked it
A gentle mystery. read it on a road trip, finished easily.
lot's of suspects and the solution is not expected.
I did think of the culprit but, dismissed it and read on.

A perfect sequel to "Dead as a Scone", "The Final Crumpet" was a cozy, complete, amusing mystery that kept you guessing well into the last few pages. :)

Ohm (11:59 AM)
Wud up guys and girls! Hit me with your questions! Let's go!
Tom (NJ)
Hey Ohm whats up with the Giants keeping Tollefson over Alford? I get the versatility and all that, but honestly Tollefson isn't that good. I sat at Alford's table for the Kickoff Luncheon, and what a guy. But besides that, why would the Giants just give up on their 3rd round draft pick from 3 years ago without even giving him a real shot to prove he's healthy?
Ohm (12:01 PM)
Hey Tom! I hear you on Alford. Personally, I thought they would keep both. Tollefson is pretty good. I think he will see some snaps on the field and he can play DT, LB and DE. Alford just wasn't as impressive as the other DTs in camp. Probably needs more time to come back from the knee injury. But I really thought they would keep both.
Shakoor (Newark,NJ)
My main man Ohm wassup. Who will start at safety sunday and any news on chad jones lately?
Ohm (12:02 PM)
what's up in the New? I think you will see KP and Rolle start. Haven't heard much on Chad Jones recently. Last I heard he was due to undergo more surgery and then recover.
kevin mannella las vegas nv [via mobile]
Do u think the giants have a ligitiment chance of wining the nfc east and or just the nfc all together?????
Ohm (12:04 PM)
KMann... whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold your horses big fella. The entire NFC all together? No shot. The NFC East? Maybe. A lot of things would have to go right for this team. I see them finishing second to Dallas. Sure, Dallas is not all-powerful either. The Boys have their problems. But I don't think the Giants are good enough that they can just beat all comers. They got to win the games they can win. They simply must take care of business at home because they have at least three games on road that could be disastrous against Indy, Green Bay and Minnesota. And that's not taking into consideration their NFC East sked or road game at Houston.
Chris Fiegler (Latham,NY)
Who do you think will be the Best Rookie for the Giants & Jets This Season?
Ohm (12:05 PM)
Best rookie for Giants will likely be Linval Joseph in my mind. I would say V Cruz but I don't know how many snaps he will get. For Jets... I'm thinking Terminator.
The Duke (The Dirty Jersey)
O-Dawg....When I say BIG you say BLUE!!!.......BIG!!!! Statement game for the G-Men 35-17 Giants, what do you think?
Ohm (12:07 PM)
Duke... definitely statement game. And I don't usually buy into those. They gotta win this game. Have to. First game in new stadium. First game of the year to erase last year against Carolina. Must stop the run. Check out my game advance preview column later today on the website. As for score... I don't know about putting up 35 points.Check out the new Giants page with predictions from staff members: http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/giants/center?gameId=300912019

sam (cincy)
Ohm, any advice for guys out there just tryin to find a lady?
Ohm (12:10 PM)
Sammy... my man. Well, confidence is huge man. One thing I've learned from athletes, friends and even all my female friends and girlfriends, confidence is money. Even if you aren't feeling super confident about yourself, try to be. Don't be arrogant... but confident. And take shots. I'm kind of like Allan Houston, you know. Like when everything is going good, I feel comfortable, my shot is silky smooth. But I don't have that dog in me to just say screw it, I am scoring 25-30 points every night. Sometimes I get frustrated or if I have Bruce Bowen harrassing me, I score just 8 points. And Allan is my man too! Sometimes I'm too nice. Not telling you to be mean, but be confident. Take your shots! Hope that helps.
Sup Ohm! Were you in the room when Jacobs stormed off? Did he bust through the middle or did he try to break a run to the outside for negative gain?
Ohm (12:11 PM)
JJ, I was in the room. I was next to him. He didn't go through the middle. He went off the right edge, used his arm to nudge Ralph Vacchiano to the side and busted through on the right side into the clear. He didn't truck anybody on his way out and that's good! LOL.
Dutchy (harlem)
Are the Giants comfortable with their 53 right now are there any positions (RB, LB, OL) they're looking to upgrade via trade, free agency, or waivers? Im not sold on Danny Ware.
Ohm (12:13 PM)
Dutchy, to take Tom Coughlin's line, I don't think the Giants are comfortable with anything. I am sure, as you saw with the Shawn Andrews and Keith Bulluck moves, that the Giants will always be looking outside to improve. I don't think there is anything out there for them right now though. You aren't sold on Ware at third RB or KR? I think Ahmad will handle most of the third-down duties anyways.
Patrick (Rochester New York )
Do you think Coach Coughlin is on the hot seat at all?
Ohm (12:14 PM)
Patrick, Nah. Mr. Mara has said so. And he doesn't lie or posture. Now, if the Giants go 8-8 or worse... and miss playoffs... warm up the seat.
Snooki (Jersey Shore)
Hi Ohm!
Ohm (12:14 PM)
Patrick, Nah. Mr. Mara has said so. And he doesn't lie or posture. Now, if the Giants go 8-8 or worse... and miss playoffs... warm up the seat.
Ohm (12:14 PM)
Love you Snooks!
Jerry (Norfolk, VA)
Lets be honest here the giants still havent filled the need on D but can we put together enough O to take up the slack?
Ohm (12:15 PM)
Jerry, you aren't convinced with the Defense yet eh? I think the passing offense can put up points. Gotta see how the running game does. But remember, you don't want to see the Giants get into shootouts. You want them to be methodical, establish run and stop the run. Shootouts won't be good for them. Like, I don't think they got enough firepower to hang with Indy or Houston -- two teams they play this season on road.
Big Ohm! Happy Friday man! Ok, I don't want to get carried away...but first game in the stadium...defense hungry for revenge...gotta be a huge win for the GMEN right?
Ohm (12:17 PM)
Wud up DC? I am not ready to deem it a huge win for Giants just yet. Could be close. That running game is no joke G...
Ryan (NY)
Ohm, whats good buddy? If gambling were legal would you like the Giants laying a touchdown this weekend?
Ohm (12:19 PM)
R... how it goes? I don't really do that stuff, for real. I don't even know the terminology and things like that. I guess you are saying, would I put money down on Giants winning by touchdown or more? That's tough. I can see them winning by six. LOL.
Juan (Honduras)
Do you think the defense is ready to play the cover 2?
Ohm (12:20 PM)
Juan, are you really sending me this from Honduras? If so, COOL! Safeties coach Dave Merritt said that Perry Fewell doesn't play a ton of Cover-2. He disguises a lot of things. They do a read and react coverage for sure though. They best be ready to employ his defense. Perry says they are. We'll find out. If Matt Moore shreds them with only Steve Smith, Giants are in for a LONG season.
Taylor (Philadelphia)
Will the Mets continue to roll over for the Phillies this weekend?
Ohm (12:21 PM)
T... I cover the Giants now. But knowing the Mets, I would never use the word "roll over" another opponent when it comes to them. And I like the Mets. But when was the last time we could comfortably say, man, the Mets are just going to roll over dudes this season?
Brian (NJ)
Hey Ohm I don't know about you but I love the fact that Ahmad Bradshaw is now the feature back over Jacobs. Not because I favor Bradshaw, but I feel that Jacobs may run lower and harder as compared to last season to prove a point. Do you think this is logical or am I being too much of a fan?
Ohm (12:22 PM)
B, it's being logical. I think you, and others, want to see a change. Want to see Brandon run harder, more decisive through the hole. Hopefully Brandon is like the Hulk... you won't like him when he gets angry type of thing.
eddie (miami)
Ohm--what's the status of the offensive line? Are we good to go for sunday?
Ohm (12:24 PM)
E... from the MIA. Ready for the big Canes game on Saturday? I'm hyped about it! The offensive line should be intact on Sunday. O'Hara (ankle) has been practicing and looks good to go. You got the old starting five out there. Beatty and Andrews might get some snaps off bench.
Bill Youngmisuk (Dad?)
Eli for MVP this year - take that to the bank
Ohm (12:25 PM)
Dad? Dad! Eli for MVP... come on dude... calm it down a notch. I don't care if Eli throws for 500 against the Panthers this week, he's not winning MVP. Take it to the bank, Dad. LOL.
Ohm (12:25 PM)
Dad? Dad! Eli for MVP... come on dude... calm it down a notch. I don't care if Eli throws for 500 against the Panthers this week, he's not winning MVP. Take it to the bank, Dad. LOL.
Ed (NYC)
Ohm (12:26 PM)
Ed, I am assuming this is the answer to my man's question earlier about the ladies... LOL! Confidence man. Remember, launch those jumpers up with confidence.
Ryan (NY)
Sam in Cincy - the best way to get a lady is to go to the Michigan State campus and say that you know Ohm... that's the best chick magnet there is
Ohm (12:26 PM)
Ryan, my man. Well, I am too old for that to work. Been over a decade since I walked the streets of East Lansing. But the honeys there are nice.
eddie (miami)
how much do they play linval joseph this year?
Ohm (12:27 PM)
E... I think you will see more Cofield, Canty and Bernard. Little Linval. But those three get more snaps than him.
Ro (Live in ATL but BX 4LIFE)
Ohm, what's good fam? i appreciate what you do on here. 2 questions; Do you think the Bradshaw and Jacobs will both have big games against the Panthers and do you really think our new look defense will be able to shut down the running game of the Panthers? Thanks b
Ohm (12:28 PM)
Ro, from the ATL! Thanks dude. I think Bradshaw will have an impact with more touches. You give him more opportunities to bust a long one. As for the new defense, we will find out. I am excited to see Perry's defense. He says they only showed 10-20 percent in the preseason.
Chuck Woolery (via mobile)
Thank you for that advice, Ohm. Now for a commercial break. 2 and 2 we'll be right back 'atcha
Ohm (12:29 PM)
Dude, you are still alive? Awesome! Used to love that show. Now that is OLD SCHOOL! Love when you guys show old school knowledge!!!!
Kenny Phillips' Knee (With Kenny)
Ohm! What's poppin man? Excited for the new season! Kenny and I are doing alright. Bend, extend - I'm ready man. Listen, is Deon Grant really pissed off with being a back-up safety now? Didn't he know when he signed that when I was healthy, Kenny would be back out there starting?
Ohm (12:31 PM)
Dude, you are ready. DG is a bit salty. Not with you. Just with the situation, and I am not talking Jersey Shore. He did know when he signed. Just didn't think it was coming this fast. Thought maybe two or three games into season. It's always tough for a proud vet to take a step back into backup role.
Bryan (NY)
What's your take on the players giving the unity gesture before the game?
Ohm (12:32 PM)
B... I loved it. At first, I was like, what are they doing, captains shouting out to the captains. But then I saw it and it looked real. Not fake at all. Looks like the Union is not going to play around when negotiations take place.
Mitch (At stupid work)
Sup Ohm, do you think the linebacking corps of Bullock, Goff & Boley are going to be able to step up ? I see that as our big glaring weakness coming into the season
Ohm (12:34 PM)
Mitch... I think it's more solid than I thought going into the season. But it's definitely not the strength of the team. I think Goff will do his job. Interested in seeing if KB is totally back from knee surgery. And I still think when all is said and done, Boley will have a good season.
John (Long Island)
I know we need to see it in action - but lets not forget that the giants of 2008 were poised to make a run before Plax shot himself, and were likely better than they were in 2007. Last year they started 5-0 (weak early schedule, perhaps, but they dominated those teams), but injuries caught up with them. This is a better team than the one that started the season last year and was a pick by many to go to the superbowl. And you don't think they have a shot to win the NFC at all?
Ohm (12:35 PM)
John, I hear you on everything. But the rest of the conference is much better. Do you really think the Giants are better than Green Bay, New Orleans, Minnesota and Dallas? I just don't see it.
W. Axl Rose (Secluded in a basement studio)
Ohm, who's ready to go in the secondary? Webster, Ross ready to play? How many snaps for Phillips, and will we see Grant in there at all?
Ohm (12:36 PM)
Axl! Nice. Webster is ready to go. I am not at practice today so don't know latest on A Ross. Fewell said it will be up to Kenny as far as how much he plays. I think he plays 3/4 of the game. You will see Grant on some passing situations and normal packages.
Bill Youngmisuk ((Dad?))
You're grounded!
Ohm (12:37 PM)
Ha. I never was grounded as a kid. I was a good kid. Now as an adult? That's a different story. LOL.
Confused (here)
Ok, but what if you have an outside jumper like Eddy Curry?
Ohm (12:39 PM)
Dude, you don't want to compare your game with women to that of Eddy Curry's. Like I was telling homeboy from Cincy... if you had to compare your game to any NBA player when it comes to dating, who would you be? I'd be Allan Houston. When things are going right, when I feel comfortable, I can drain shots from all over the court, make a game-winner in the playoffs against the Heat. But I'm sometimes too nice, lack total confidence and when a Bruce Bowen is all over me, I go 4-for-12 and have a bad night. LOL. If you are Eddy Curry, that means you are soft, have a bad heart and you can't get off the bench. But at some point, you did have nice soft game and you have potential. But at the moment, you gotta rehab and get back on the court!
Jeremy (Rockland)
Waddup OHM! Now that Bradshaw is the official number 1 back, I would love to see the Giants go with more hurry-up in the first half to wear out defenses and then go with a heavy dose of Jacobs in the 3rd quarter... your thoughts?
Ohm (12:40 PM)
J, I kind of like that. Eli is great at hurry-up. Could work. I do want to see how this will work.
Billy (DC)
What's your take on Ray Lewis' comments about the Jets? I think he's right - the Jets just talk and talk and talk, but haven't done anything! If they start 0-7 this year they'll probably still talk about how they're the best 0-7 team in NFL history
Ohm (12:41 PM)
I love trash talking. I grew up loving those Hurricanes. Monday night will be great to watch. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Jets struggle a bit early on. The hype is insane. But I love that crew. They will be a fun bunch to watch, win or lose, guaranteed.
Jetfan82 (PA)
Ohm long time....how you been dude? Do you know if anything crazy is planned at new stadium for Mon nite?
Ohm (12:42 PM)
Hey man! Wud up? How come you don't ask Cimini these questions? You always ask me logistical Jets questions. LOL. I think there is a concert at halftime but other than that, not sure at all. Hope you are doing well friend.
Otto (NJ)
Ohm who will have a better year, Bradshaw or Shonn Greene?
Ohm (12:43 PM)
Otto, I think Shonn will have a better year. He will get a ton of touches. But Bradshaw is a nice sleeper. If you have both... they can be RB1 and Bradshaw your RB2.
ethan (malaga)
How bout them saints, you got them to go back to back or will that nifty madden curse strike again.
Ohm (12:43 PM)
Going to be tough for the Saints to go back to back. NFC is real tough this season. Saints kind of struggled at times last night.
Eli Manning (East Rutherford, NJ)
I may not win MVP, but I'm a lot better than that other QB for that other NY team
Ohm (12:44 PM)
Yes you are Eli. I won't argue that at all.
Bryan (NY)
Fair point Ohm on the unity gesture... to me it made it sink in that there's probably not going to be football next year
Ohm (12:44 PM)
Yeah, I was kind of wondering the same thing myself...
Different Mitch (At stupid work in LA) (LA)
What are 5 things to look for during the GMEN this Sunday?
Ohm (12:45 PM)
Read my advance with five key things to look for on the website later today. You sound like my editor! LOL.
Ohm fan (my basement)
Your chats are the perfect mix of information and entertainment. Nice work!!
Ohm (12:46 PM)
Dude, thanks. We are only scratching the surface man. Snooks, fantasy football, dating advice, old school music... movies. Anything you guys wanna chat about.
vorak (nyc)
Sup Ohm Boy, a lot has been made of Rex Ryan's language during training camp as seen on HK. Is that the norm around the league or is it just him? I know youre at practice all the time so you should know. Do you hear Coach C and his staff dropping fbombs? Just wondering.
Ohm (12:46 PM)
V, Coach C doesn't cuss as much as Rex. But there is cussing heard throughout. Players, coaches... just the nature of football.
Still confused (still here)
What if you're like Ron Artest and you're freakin crazy? How can you score a girl then? Just hang outside a mental institution?
Ohm (12:47 PM)
Dude, if you are Ron Artest, you are driving a race car go cart down the streets of LA! And that is cool! Ron is crazy. But some girls like crazy. Trust me on that. But we prefer you be a bit more balanced.
Ohm (12:48 PM)
Oh, and for the Eddy Curry question earlier... if you are Eddy Curry, that means you can't rebound at all. And you have to be able to rebound because not every shot is going to go in.
Jetfan82 (PA)
I only ask the best....I've been so busy with college/work/wife/kids/ i miss all you chats...ill work it makin more to keep the Jet Fans in the mix
Ohm (12:49 PM)
Jets questions are always welcome in my chats. Wife and Kids and college? Good Buddha man! When do you find time to do anything?
Jeremy (Rockland)
Bill (DC): comment was hilarious! are T Thomas and C Webster underrated by ppl around the league?
Ohm (12:50 PM)
Underrated? Well, Corey was rated pretty high going into last season and then didn't have a great year. TThomas may be underrated. He is very very solid.
Gunny D (Seattle, WA)
Ohm, what's your impressions of both Andrews & Bulluck? Do they look like they've fully recovered from their surgeries? Is Andrews showing any signs that his back will become an issue this season? Thanks
Ohm (12:51 PM)
Andrews is working his way back. Has looked good. Wouldn't be surprised if he cracks starting lineup midway through season. Bulluck is getting there. He missed a couple of tackles that old KB would have gotten. But it will take some time. Still physical though.
brian daly (west palm)
I have watched the giants since 1965 they have always been solid a LB do you feel the g men have addressed their problem at middle lb.do you feel good about this LB group as a whole
Ohm (12:53 PM)
BDaly... how's the weather in West Palm? I am sure it is nice! I don't know, to tell you the truth, if they have answered the problem at MLB. To be honest, I can see that if Goff struggles, they could move Bulluck back to middle and try him. I don't have a ton of confidence in the group but I will say this, I have more confidence in the group than I did before they got Bulluck. Bulluck helps, knowing they have experience now.
Matt (Long Island)
How do you see DJ Ware playing a role in the running attack this year? Will he recreate the 3-headed monster like the G-Men had with Bradshaw Jacobs or Ward, or do you think he will just be another reserve on this team?
Ohm (12:53 PM)
Matty... I think this is mostly going to be a two-man show... Ware sprinkled in here and there. I also see him kick returning as well. Some third down action too.
Jetfan82 (PA)
Did you go and eat a snack after Rex said too?
Ohm (12:54 PM)
Easily... my favorite line of the whole Hard Knocks series. Wish I could tell Snooki, now let's go eat a bleep bleepin snack!
vorak (nyc)
Is Sintim officially a bust? Its not like we gave up a lot for him (shockey) but he has done very little up to this point. Thoughts?
Ohm (12:55 PM)
I don't wanna say he is a bust. He's still young. Just not as ready yet. Bulluck is still a crafty and talented veteran.
John (Long Island)
JPP - any sacks week one? Over/Under 6 for the season?
Ohm (12:55 PM)
John, he could get one this week. I'll go under for season.
Eddy Curry (via mobile)
Wow, SMH in this chat. Ohm, I learned it by watching you, alright?!?!
Ohm (12:56 PM)
Eddy, I can rebound. But I do like your soft touch around the basket.
Ohm, you should know better than to say the Giants have 'no shot' to win the NFC. That's a pretty absurd statement.
Ohm (12:58 PM)
B... do you really honestly, in the bottom of your heart, believe the Giants are going to win the NFC and the top seed? I am never going to say never. But I will say, I am pretty sure that won't happen. Hey, if they prove me wrong, awesome! Great for you guys. That would be great to cover. But I just don't see NFC Champions in the Giants future. We are talking Super Bowl right? Heck, even top seed in the playoffs... don't see it.
Snooki (Jersey Shore)
Did you see the judge gave me a day of community service for being loud and obnoxious? I'm just being me!
Ohm (12:58 PM)
Snooks, you just be your fabolous self. Nothing more!
Rachel (Atlanta, Georgia)
Know you are a big music man. If you were to pick a theme song to personify the G-Men this year, what would you roll with?
Ohm (1:00 PM)
LOL. Their theme song should be Run This Town! Now that would be NICE! Of course, Rex would tell them to bleep off and go get a bleeping snack.
Ken (Brooklyn)
Hey Ohm, how much playing time will Victor Cruz get in his 1st season? The was the CRUZin in the preseason! lol
Ohm (1:00 PM)
I hope we get to see him. I like watching the kid play. But he's probably the fifth WR. Kevin Gilbride didn't know how much he could play Cruz.
brian daly (west palm)
giants go 10 and 6 I feel good about them,lets win in the playoffs,my other teams to make it GB,MINN,NO,atl,SF,Dal
Ohm (1:01 PM)
B... I actually predicted same when sked came out. let's see how it goes. But they MUST WIN Sunday. No doubt about it.
Ohm (1:01 PM)
Alright you guys, gotta end the chat. It was fun man. Have a good weekend you all and remember, confidence, take your shots!
Ohm (1:02 PM)
And be classy!

The service factory concept has been in vogue for some time. As long ago as July 1989 the Harvard Business Review published a seminal article by Chase and Garvin titled The Service Factory[i]. They argued that "The factory of the future is not a place where computers, robots, and flexible machines do the drudge work . . . the next generation, then, will compete by bundling services with products, anticipating and responding to a truly comprehensive range of customer needs."
In this paper we explore the concept of the Service Factory as a Service (SFaaS) which provisions software services delivered on-demand using the SaaS (Software as a Service) model. As Chase and Garvin envisaged, the Service Factory as a Service is a combination of technology products that deliver very high quality and productivity, combined with professional services that integrate the factory inputs and outputs into the digital business solution delivery process.
The service factory is a specialization of a generic software factory concept described by Greenfield and Short et al in 2004. Both software and service factory concepts are based on the principle that the inputs and deliverables of the design and development tasks can be predetermined and defined as a schema - a detailed representation of the information that is created and managed in the development process. Further that the execution of each task may be automated to a greater or lesser extent by applying configurable patterns that facilitate transformations, such as models to code, with minimum human intervention. As might be expected, the internals of a factory are therefore specialized. They use technologies and techniques that the average solution developer would not need to be familiar with. In fact the principle of the factory, as illustrated in the Figure above is that it is operated as a black box and for a given specification input, deployable services are output.
Chase and Garvin indicated that the factory of the future would anticipate and respond to a comprehensive range of customer needs. The base factory schema provides the development framework that is designed to meet generic types of demand. In the case of the service factory this may be types of software services, such as channel, process, core business and underlying services for publication using popular service protocols such as REST and SOAP, and deployment to specific target platforms such as Java. The factory is effectively a collection of framework assets including patterns, tools, processes, skills and resources, as well as reusable artifacts that enable the quality and productivity outcomes. The factory schema may then be configured for specific customers to deliver variant types of service, pattern, protocol or target platform. Service delivery then uses the configured schema to deliver software services together with specifications, test harnesses and documentation.
There are several examples of software factory frameworks available in the marketplace. These are intended as accelerators for end user or service provider enterprises to create their own software factory. The real breakthrough, however, is to establish a type of software factory which is purpose-designed for software services, and to make this available on-demand as a comprehensive service factory as envisaged by Chase and Garvin.
The Figure below illustrates the "as a Service" aspect of the Everware-CBDI Service Factory, providing on demand provisioning of software services to conventional, in-house and outsourced solution delivery processes. The service provisioning value chain of specification, automation and completion interacts with the solution delivery streams using purpose designed portals and APIs that coordinate the exchange of requirements and deliverables. Professional services support the set-up and smooth running of the factory interface. Set-up activities will usually establish the customer relationships and process interactions with the service factory provider or, for larger programs or enterprises, the establishment of an in-house service factory. The architecture, service specification and design and integration support professional services are provided to guide the client in achieving high quality outcomes from the process as well as providing skills transfer, facilitation and mentoring as appropriate.

The Internet of Things will challenge the status quo of how IT and development organizations operate. Or will it?

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Great merchandise,bought another
good quality rugs - getting ready to buy some more
beautiful rug looks much more expensive than it was. great buy highly recommend
The runner is perfect. It looks lovely and expensive (even though it wasn't).
to 'warn' guests that the living room is a step down.... runner is in living room entry.
Great color, nice and thick, holding up well to lots of traffic and vacuuming so a really good buy!
I bought 3 of these to go with the 8' round matching rug. It is such great quality and so beautiful! I was so happy with this product I ordered a 3'3" X 4'11 area rug to match for by my kitchen sink to tie everything together. Haven't received it yet but I know it will be just as great as the others!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The price was reasonable but in comparison to a rug I purchased before, the quality wasn't as I expected. Do not buy the lighter color because it gets dirty very quickly unless you don't wear shoes in the house. It is difficult to clean yourself and expensive to have professionally clean. I was going to pay more for the cleaning than what I paid for the rug. I think the darker colors would have been fine. Once I couldn't live with the way they looked because I couldn't clean them and I didn't want to waste the money due to quality, I removed them and haven't replaced them with anything.
They are good quality and enjoy the colors.
I bought this with the black round rug as a complement. Nice!
More beautiful than the picture and is very plush . I would buy it again.
Looked nice, but 3 weeks in the binding on the sides began to fray. Overstock.com was easy to deal with. Good customer service.
Really pulls our kitchen together, we got all three: runner, rectangle area rug, and circular for under table. Definitely jazzes up the kitchen.
looks exactly as pictured. packaged nicely and shipped quickly. I recommend if you are looking for a runner that looks more expensive than it really is. Excellent value.
I bought this piece to compliment the area rug in my dining area. It created a nice flow from the dining area into my foyer. Recommend it.
The color is just as shown in the picture. I ordered the black. It looks very classy and is well made. It is very soft and feels wonderful to my bare feet!
Has the colors we needed and quality is better than acceptable.
Just what I was looking for to put beside the bed in a guest room and in the family room in a heavily trafficked area.
I got them about 1.5 year ago and they look almost new. They worth every penny
Great little runner for the hallway. The blue color is very rich looking. I wish the rug was a little thicker/heavier, but that may be splitting hairs. I am happy with this rug.

Emperor Palpatine was one of the most feared and hated figures in the galaxy for decades, the chief architect of the Clone Wars and the creator of the Galactic Empire, a dark lord of the Sith and the man responsible for the decimation of the Jedi Order. He also, as the Sith Master Darth Sidious, was behind the training and commission of fellow Sith villains for many years, including Darth Maul, Darth Tyranus, and Darth Vader.
Palpatine began his bid for power at least as early as the time of the Trade Federation blockade and invasion of Naboo, his home planet where he was serving as senator at the time. The entire matter was a ruse concocted by Palpatine, mostly in his mysterious Sidious persona, designed to lead to the downfall of the Galactic Republic's Chancellor Valorum. That it did, thereby allowing Palpatine to slide into the role of Chancellor himself.
Ten years later, Palpatine continued to pull the strings from behind the scenes, even as he presented a benevolent exterior to the general public. The civil war known as the Clone Wars was a result of his meddling, which led to the creation of a Grand Army of clones as well as his seizing upon emergency powers that made him more dictator than democratic leader. It was during this time that he began to mentor the young Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker as well, eventually leading to his conversion to the dark side of the Force as Darth Vader.
With Vader and his clone army, Palpatine had almost the entire Jedi Order murdered at the close of the Clone Wars, consolidating his power and transforming the Republic into the Galactic Empire. He also instigated the creation of the planet-killing Death Star space station as a means to maintaining his stranglehold on the galaxy.
For a period of some two decades, Emperor Palpatine ruled the Empire with an iron fist, even as he increasingly receded from public life. When the last Jedi Knight, Vader's son Luke, rose to challenge the Empire, Palpatine and Vader worked to turn the boy to the dark side. But Luke was unwilling to accept the evil, and during the Battle of Endor he was almost killed by Palpatine for his refusal of the dark side. Vader, however, moved by his son's pureness of heart, betrayed his master and killed Palpatine, saving Luke in the process. The Empire was defeated at the Battle of Endor that same day, and the blight that was Palpatine's rule was over.

'BBC man's Twitter campaign helped kill my boy': Devastated father claims offensive comments contributed to son's heart attack
- BBC presenter was allegedly involved in a 'cyber-bullying campaign'
- He is accused of suggesting a man siphoned-off charity donations
- Broadcaster Murray Norton strongly denies making the comments
- The corporation say they are investigating the claims
The BBC is investigating allegations that one of its presenters was involved in a 'vicious and unrelenting cyber-bullying campaign' that contributed to the death of a 47-year-old man.
Murray Norton, who has been a BBC broadcaster for nearly 30 years, strongly denies making offensive comments on social networking sites about Simon Abbott, a computer software developer who died of a heart attack earlier this year.
Mr Norton is said to have posted messages on Facebook and Twitter suggesting Mr Abbott was a conman, siphoning off charity donations for his own use.

The alleged abuse encouraged dozens of 'internet trolls' to join in the harassment, some allegedly claiming they were taking their cue from Mr Norton because of his status as a BBC broadcaster.
Police have said they were not aware of any evidence Mr Abbott was misappropriating funds.
His father believes the alleged bullying hastened his son's death.
last night The Mail on Sunday discovered that the extent to which
stress may have contributed to Mr Abbott's heart attack will be
considered at the forthcoming inquest.
his spare time Mr Abbott ran a charitable foundation he set up in
memory of his sister Samantha, who committed suicide in 2009 while
suffering from post-natal depression.
his death in June, he had begun libel proceedings against Mr Norton
and other people whose false allegations, he claimed, had destroyed his
reputation and turned him into a recluse, unable to work and frightened
to leave his house. A defence was lodged denying all the claims.
his father, Jon Abbott, believes the alleged comments were posted by Mr
Norton and others and is demanding to know why BBC bosses apparently
made no attempt to stop Mr Norton spreading unfounded rumours about his
retired journalist, who lives in South Africa, said: 'Simon's schemes
failed to raise any money, partly due to his own shortcomings as a
charity organiser and partly because it was an impossible task to make a
success of any project that kept being slated on the internet.
takings (for the trust) appear to have been pitiful. When he died,
there was little money in his bank account and the trust was £1,400 in
the red. That doesn't make him a conman.

'It is deplorable for the BBC to stand on the sidelines. Norton was working for a national institution funded by the British taxpayer and was very much in the public eye.'
A BBC spokesman said: 'We offer our sincere condolences to Mr Abbott but strongly assert the BBC has treated the complaints in question seriously. No evidence of cyber-bullying was found and the complaint was not upheld.'
One of the online messages, purportedly written by the radio host, allegedly said: 'Simon, if you are reading this – which, my friends, he might be – give it up, come clean on the finances of the trust, put the items you claim to have from the famous to good use.I'll auction them for some people in real need instead of false events that help no one.'
One of Mr Abbott's tormentors, a woman from Cornwall, was questioned by police after he complained about her behaviour in November 2011. She was 'given advice' by officers but not charged with any offence.
But when Mr Abbott's father wrote to the BBC after his son's death, the managing editor of BBC Radio Jersey, Jon Gripton, said that since Mr Norton was a 'freelance artist', the corporation had no responsibility for his off-air activities.
Mr Norton's links with the BBC, however, are long-established and he hosts a three-hour show on Radio Jersey every weekday morning.
Simon Abbott said in a court statement relating to his libel action: 'People think I am a conman, dishonest, and even that I have made up the death of my sister. Because he (Norton) works for the BBC everyone follows he (sic) and joins in.'
Jon Abbott's complaint against Mr Norton is now being re-examined by one of the BBC's most senior executives, David Holdsworth.
Mr Norton combines his broadcasting career with running two restaurants in Jersey. Our calls to him went unanswered.

I have quite a few faves of the Ground-type.
Sandshrew/Sandslash - I love how cute these things are and the fact they still remain a fave after all those generations, and I even used one to help defeat Elesa in my run of Black 2.
Diglett/Dugtrio - Strong, fast and really odd. Three things that fit in one description of this mystery Pokemon that has never had its full body revealed. Still a fave of mine today.
Gligar/Gliscor - I loved how Gliscor gained a useful ability in Poison Heal, now it sees use as a great physical wall with some neat reliable recovery tactic in the form of a Toxic Orb. Plus it has the power to dish out damage too!
And all of the 5th Gen Ground-types in the list as well. Krookodile and Excadrill are powerful, fast and have great abilities, and Stunfisk is just plain hilarious but I love that cutie. This generation made me love Ground-types again I have to say.
