There is a good reason the verbal commitments are non-binding.
That being said, shouldn't one's word be enough?
In high school football recruiting now-a-days, it seems more like a ploy than a true commitment. Players MAY verbally commit to a school to have other schools stop recruiting them. They may be sick of the recruiting process, or may just want to give their full attention to the upcoming season. Some of them will do this, but still take secret visits to other schools. So, in theory, the team that the athlete committed to, and the athlete himself really never stops being recruited. With college teams having to recruit kids earlier and earlier, kids are committing earlier to certain schools. Freshmen and sophomores in high school are now verbally committing, two and three years before their high school graduation.
It spells nothing but trouble
Anyone who has teenage kids realize how quickly they can change their mind. They are perfectly content with their Android phone, but promise them an IPhone (better facilities) and they change their mind. They are all set to take one of the family cars off to college, but promise them a new car to take (playing time) and they change their mind. They are just fine with their recruiting video being sent out to a couple of recruiting services, but promise them that you will send it out to all the dozens that are out there (TV and media exposure) and they change their mind.
Which brings us to St. Edward's Shaun Crawford
Shaun Crawford is a special athlete. Although a bit undersized at 5 foot 9 and 165 pounds, Crawford's feats on the football field and track gives many a fan that "wow" moment that so few athletes can give. He is so good as a defensive back and kick returner, that he was being recruited by all the big time Division I football programs. On the track, he set AAU records as a sophomore in both the 100 and 200 meters. The kid can flat-out FLY. He is currently ranked as the 10th best cornerback prospect in the country, according to recruiting service 24/7 Sports. After attending Notre Dame's Irish Infusion Football Camp last weekend, Tyler James of the South Bend Tribune had this to say about Crawford's ability:
Crawford put together the best performance of the camp, proving his ability to lockdown in man coverage. The 5-foot-9, 170-pound Crawford primarily plays safety at St. Edward High in Lakewood, Ohio, but looked the part of a cover corner.
On most reps, Crawford stayed step for step with the opposing receiver and showed explosive closing speed to make plays on the ball. On one rep, he blanketed his receiver so well, the quarterback refused to throw the ball – a rarity in one-on-one drills.
Here is where the tale of Shaun Crawford takes off
On August 23rd of last year, Crawford gave his verbal commitment to the University of Michigan, just a week before his junior year of football would start at St. Edward. Nothing special there, just another big time player making up his mind early to get the recruiting process out of the way, right? Crawford was quoted after committing to Michigan as saying:
When I first started getting offers, I was just waiting and waiting for that Michigan one, and when it finally came, it was a relief. It was a dream come true
I am sure it was. Getting your college paid for is every athlete or student's dream when graduating from high school. Crawford decided early, and Michigan landed a big time player. Ah, but the devil is always in the details.
Michigan coach Brady Hoke (along with MANY other college coaches) have what they call a "no visit" rule. What that means is once a kid commits, coaches, including Hoke, do not want them visiting other schools. In turn, coaches will then make the promise to not recruit any other player to fill that spot in the recruiting class. If a player chooses to take other visits, then coaches are free to recruit other players to fill that recruiting spot. However, coaches and teams do not withdrawal the offer or remove the kid from its commitment list, they just keep their options open for that position, just like the kid has kept his options open when visiting other schools.
Sounds fair, doesn't it?
Sure it does. As long as everyone is on the same page, and there is open communication. That being said, as late as last month, rumors began to surface that Crawford was making visits to other schools, including Miami, Ohio State, and Notre Dame. As the rumor mill swirled with these "visits", word from the Crawford camp was that these visits had been in the works for "quite a while". One problem with this:
Nobody told Brady Hoke or the University of Michigan
Last month, during all this recruiting turmoil, Crawford's father was quoted by BuckeyeGrove.com, an Ohio State message board and recruiting site as saying that Shaun was still "100 percent Michigan".
You can probably see where this story goes, can't you?
You guessed it. On May 24th, Crawford announced he was no longer a Michigan football commit. Did he call Brady Hoke and let him know? No, he announced it over Twitter. On Father's Day of this year, Crawford made a verbal commitment to attend Notre Dame. In a quote to Cleveland.com and Northeast Ohio Media Group, Crawford had this to say about his second verbal commitment:
I wanted to take advantage of an opportunity that most people don't get. I feel Notre Dame will make me the best person and player possible. Notre Dame is a prestigious university that my athleticism has gotten me in to. However, I will rely on my intelligence and hard work in the class room to succeed at Notre Dame
There are two ways of looking at this. First, kids are free to change their minds, especially when it is a decision that will take up the next four years of their lives, and have a huge impact on their lives after leaving whatever university they choose to attend. It was well within Shaun Crawford's right to change where he felt was best for him to attend college. However, the second way of looking at this is the effect it may have on the university he is leaving, after making a verbal commitment to.
I don't mind Brady Hoke or any other college coach for that matter for having a "no visit" rule. It is a way of protecting themselves from what happened in this case. Michigan lost almost nine months of the ability to try and recruit another player that would take Crawford's place in their class. I am sure not only Brady Hoke, but other college coaches across the country, have channeled their inner Jerry Maguire when a kid does this to them by thinking:
I am still sort of moved by the whole...My word is stronger than oak thing
Shaun Crawford has a right to change his mind. He also should have had an obligation to do it the right way
There-in lies the danger of the verbal commitment, and a verbal commitment given so early. Just think of it this way: It's one of the biggest decisions anyone will make in their lives. Shouldn't you look around, and take all your visits before giving a commitment? There are people today that put in more research into buying a car than they do with searching for a college.
Here is how I would change the controversy surrounding verbal commitments:
- No verbal commitments until the end of your junior year.... You may tell a certain coach you plan on committing there, and you may get an offer that is your dream school, but no "committing" until end of your junior year
- At that time, make it "somewhat" binding.... No visits to any other school without clearing it first with the school you are verbally committed to. The only time this would not apply is if there is a coaching change, then all bets are off
- Take the allowable visits to each school recruiting you.... No verbal commitments should take place until the athlete has taken at least 3 of the 5 official visits he is allowed.
- Be honest with coaches and recruiters.... This will lessen the pressure and time committed by these schools and you the athlete with phone calls, letters, tweets,..etc. Don't waste their time and yours by giving up that time to schools you aren't interested in
- Do the research.... It's the next for years of your life, and maybe more. Have a good idea of the academic requirements and life after college with a degree from the school you are thinking about. Have a major in mind, and see how that fits with what the school is offering. What if you suffer a career ending injury? Does the offer still apply for four years of education?
- Your word SHOULD be as strong as oak.... It's a trait of someone with strong character.
Cases like the one involving Shaun Crawford aren't going away anytime soon. It's the new wave of college recruiting, getting to them earlier and earlier. I don't mind that Shaun Crawford changed his mind and decided on Notre Dame. He has that right, and for a decision that is as important as the one as to where to attend college, one has to be 100 percent sure. What I do have a problem with is the WAY it was done.
A commitment should mean just that. It should be more than just a handshake deal.

There is no misery deeper
There is no mind more diseased
There is no hell as torturous
Than the fear bred into the hearts of humans by those who would seek to enslave not just their bodies but their minds and souls as well.
Carnal is written to embrace that which is uniquely human, what makes us different from any other creature; the choice to choose how human or how divine we wish to be.
As for me, I have learned to embrace my humanity without destroying my flesh through adoration and respect.
I have tasted and seen that life, human life is GOOD...

As many people here who do some scientific computing, I'm increasingly using Python as my main prototyping language in favor of MATLAB. A colleague of mine whose husband got me into Python approached me recently soliciting advice about graphics tools for TeX.
Having in mind her background, I recommended Matplotlib in-spite of the fact that I have never used it before. Feeling guilty about my recommendation, I started experimenting with Matplotlib and I am really loving it. So far, as previously stated, my taste when it comes to graphics tools in TeX was PostScript biased, but apart from few hand hacks on PostScript files necessary to get output from old Eastern European printers I have never got to program regularly in pure PostScript. On the other hand Python is a different story, and I am trying to use it on the daily basis.
Could anybody point me to an objective comparison of the graphical capabilities of Matplotlib and PostScript? I am particularly keen to see something of high quality like this post of Dr. Till Tantau, where in-spite of being TikZ main developer/inventor conceded that PostScript is still THE page description language to be reckon with.

For all its merits the problem with RoboForm is that you�ll either have to shell out $30 for the Pro edition or get by with the measly 10-password limit on the free version. LastPass is different in at least a couple of respects. First and foremost, while a $12-a-year Premium subscription is also on offer, the free version will give you the same password saving and form filling functionality as RoboForm without any of the limitations.
This includes multiple identities, putting an unlimited number of individual passwords behind one master password, automatically fill in saved logins and forms with the click of a button, storing text notes securely in your vault, protection against key loggers and phishing attacks, a secure password generator and a lot more.
Another fundamental difference is that LastPass stores everything in the cloud. This means seamless synchronization across all major platforms and browsers via a plug-in that works with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. While some of you will naturally hesitate to store passwords and other sensitive data on a third-party server, it should be noted that LastPass is a Host-proof hosting solution and as such all data is first encrypted locally with 256-bit AES and then saved remotely so only you can access it anywhere, anytime.
You can also import password databases from almost every other similar service so making the switch is utterly painless. I�ve been using it for a few months now and have never looked back. If you are in need of a way to securely store multiple passwords, and have them accessible at all times as you move between workplaces, look no further than LastPass -- it will truly be the last password you�ll have to remember, and it's free!

According to Facebook: Greenville County Pet Rescue, this beauty is ready to leave foster care and find a loving, forever home. His foster is treating for heartworms.
Foster parents are the backbone of the shelter. They work under the rescues, or the shelter, to care for a dog or cat until a rescue has room to take the animal in and match that dog or cat with the perfect home.
Unfortunately, the system can bottleneck, leaving fosters unable to help save more lives because they have as many animals in their care as can be handled comfortably. This is why it's important for fostered animals to be adopted.
Captain Planet was given a reprieve after being on the red list for certain death. His foster literally saved his life.

Pietersen polishes off Pakistan
Kevin Pietersen's brilliant unbeaten half-century carried England to a comfortable six-wicket win over Pakistan in their opening ICC World Twenty20 Super Eight encounter in Barbados.
He made light of an ankle injury sustained while batting to play the most fluent innings of the match, hitting 73 off 52 balls as England overhauled a target of 148 with considerable ease.
Michael Lumb and Craig Kieswetter supplied the early impetus with 25 apiece at the top of the order, but Pietersen overcame the loss of Paul Collingwood and Eoin Morgan in quick succession late on to wrap up victory with three balls to spare,
England appeared favourites to triumph ever since they restricted Pakistan, the reigning champions, to 147 for nine on a true surface at the Kensington Oval despite a final-over flurry from Saeed Ajmal.
Michael Yardy was central to England's success, taking 2-19 from four overs of probing slow left-arm, while there were two wickets apiece for Ryan Sidebottom and Stuart Broad.
England's largely efficient display in the field - Pietersen's running effort at deep midwicket to remove Umar Akmal was the highlight - contrasted sharply with a Pakistan performance that is best described as shambolic.
They spilled five catches - Ajmal dropped three, including two sitters - and a miserable day was complete when Kamran Akmal ran past the stumps with the ball in his gloves with Pietersen well short of his ground in the penultimate over.
From the outset, after being asked to bat first, Pakistan set a tempo for a bigger total than they went on to achieve, undermining themselves with a rush of three wickets in nine balls in mid-innings.
Kamran hooked the first ball of the match, bowled by Sidebottom, just out of Tim Bresnan's clutches at fine-leg for six.
Broad proved too sharp when Kamran tried a repeat and looped a catch to wicketkeeper Kieswetter, but Pakistan were well set on 71 for one in the 10th over before Salman Butt, who top-scored with 34, drove Graeme Swann low to Collingwood at cover.
Yardy had begun his spell moderately, allowing Mohammad Hafeez two early boundaries.
However, he got his man, caught by Broad at short third-man, and then the dangerous Shahid Afridi set off for an impossible single to cover first ball. He was comfortably beaten back by Luke Wright's throw.
Misbah-ul-Haq, reverse-sweeping, was bowled by the immaculate Yardy as England stuck impressively to their plans and continued to maintain the pressure with tigerish fielding.
Umar, who escaped a missed stumping off Yardy, eventually fell to Pietersen's remarkable catch after hitting 30 off 25 balls.
Pakistan therefore had only Abdur Razzaq left to launch the late firepower. He was unable to do so effectively, but Ajmal sliced Bresnan over the wicketkeeper for four and six during an eventful final over that cost 15 and gave Pakistan some hope.
England did not need any extra help, but Ajmal provided plenty of assistance during a nightmare few minutes at mid-off and mid-on, where he twice dropped Kieswetter - the first a straightforward chance on nought - and then put down Lumb for good measure.
Lumb added just two runs before Ajmal clawed back a little ground by turning one past the outside edge to have him easily stumped, and his opening partner perished when Umar held a steepler at long-on.
Razzaq spilled a sharp return chance offered by Pietersen, on 21, but England were well on course for victory by the time Fawad Alam palmed a Pietersen drive over long-off when he had made 34.
It soon became merely a matter of time and statistical detail before the match was won.
For the record, Pietersen's share turned out to be eight fours and two sixes as he dominated a third-wicket stand of 60 with Collingwood, reaching his fifty with a towering straight drive off Afridi before wrapping up matters with four through cover.

PETRA, Jordan (AP) — President Barack Obama set aside the Middle East's tricky politics Saturday to marvel at the beauty of one of the region's most stunning sites, the fabled ancient city of Petra. "This is pretty spectacular," he said, craning his neck to gaze up at the rock faces after emerging from a narrow pathway into a sun-splashed plaza in front of the grand Treasury. The soaring facade is considered the masterpiece of the ancient city carved into the rose-red stone by the Nabataeans more than 2,000 years ago. Obama's turn as tourist capped a four-day visit to the Middle East that included stops in Israel and the West Bank, as well Jordan. The White House set low policy expectations for the trip, and the president was returning to Washington with few tangible achievements to show. Aides said his intention instead was to reassure the region's politicians and people — particularly in Israel — that he is committed to their security and prosperity. At a joint news conference with Jordan's King Abdullah II, Obama said his administration is working with Congress to provide Jordan with an additional $200 million in aid this year to cope with the massive influx of refugees streaming into the country from Syria.

1. If you want to transfer continental points skip this step. Transfer united points to continental here [continental.com]. Make sure you use the exact same address and name when you setup the two accounts. Transfer in blocks of 5000 points
2. Call continental's onepass number at 713-952-1630 and request the transfer to amtrak. They only do transfers in blocks of 5000, and it can take up to ten days for the transfer to go through. It took me about 3 days.
The reason I'm posting in this forum is the ability to do this may not last much longer - continental points are merging with united at the end of 2011, at which point the ability to transfer to amtrak may end.

OT, I hate how US Airways wants to bang you RT mileage for one-way travel. Trading my dividend miles for mileageplus 1:1 would be super slick...

1) Can I transfer 1:1 with no fees?
2) How long does the transfer take?
3) How much does a train ride cost?
4) How much does the Autotrain from Lorton to Sanford costs in points?
I've taken the Autotrain roundtrip and it was absolutely awesome. With my upcoming winter vacation between Xmas & NYE.. the Autotrain for 2 people, Sleeper cabin & 1 vehicle is running about $1450 roundtrip. It will be absolutely awesome to book this trip for about 50k miles or less.. which would typically be equal to a single $500 roundtrip flight.
Thanks again!!
I believe sometime in Dec, all OnePass members will be auto-converted to Mileage plus members.
MileagePlus will be the loyalty program for the new United. We look forward to welcoming you into MileagePlus and will continue to work hard to build the world's leading rewards program.
OnePass® members will be automatically enrolled in MileagePlus when OnePass ends.
OnePass members will be automatically enrolled in the MileagePlus program. You don't need to do anything.
Rest assured that all of your reward miles, Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Points in OnePass and MileagePlus will be secure as we transition to a single program in the first quarter of 2012.
In 2012, your flights on Continental and United will earn reward miles, Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Segments in MileagePlus. You will receive your 2012 Elite status based on your OnePass (and any MileagePlus) Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Points in 2011.
The OnePass program will formally end on Dec. 31, 2011, followed by a wind-down period during the first quarter of 2012. During the wind-down period, your OnePass reward miles will remain available for redemption. Following the wind-down period, we will replace your OnePass reward miles with an equivalent grant of MileagePlus reward miles. We will also replace your OnePass Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Points with an equivalent grant of MileagePlus Elite Qualifying Miles and Elite Qualifying Segments.
We will update you further on specific transition plans in the coming months.

I have quite the dilemma and I am wondering if anyone here can help me?
I want a new truck. I don't want a used truck I want a brand new truck but because of my bad credit rating I can't seem to get a loan so I need someone to help me.
Since I can't even get help from the government because of their debt problems, I thought that maybe you would like to help me purchase this new truck it's a 2013 2 wheel drive Dodge 3500, 6.7 liter Diesel Engine, Mega Cab the cost is around $55,000 to $65,000 with everything that it comes with. I have an old truck, it's a 2004 but the paint is dull, the windows are dirty, my friends spilled food and drinks on the seats and it has a bunch of scratches and dents in the bed but it has a great stereo that cost me $2000.00 and 17 inch wheels with new tires that cost me around $3000.00 or $4000.00 but the tires and wheels just don't look good because my truck is so old and dirty.
They would look a whole lot better on a new truck though.
I will also need help with my mortgage payment, utilities, insurance, groceries, and it would be nice if you could help me with all of my creditors. If you could help me pay off all of my creditors then I'll be able to get more credit and I would really appreciate that.
You know I've heard so much about the Compassionate Conservatives that I felt and believed you would be more than willing to assist me since you're all so rich and don't have all of the financial problems that have just been dumped on me for no reason it seems.
I just don't know what else to do. Can You Help?

Since the tires, wheels, and stereo are good, why not get a new paint job on the truck? Be a lot cheaper than a new one. This is a how a compassionate fiscal conservative would handle this! --FRANK NITTY
Well, this 'compassionate conservative' was fully prepared to pony up for the cause....until I read that you were asking for a 2WD truck which is of course not only ridiculous but very telling. Wanting a 2WD pickup is like wanting to put a 4 cylinder in a Hemi Cuda. Get it together man!!! :)
Hey, I want in on this--my present vehicle is a motorized chair. What I need is a new (or at least late model) 4 door sedan (not a GM). It can't be high enough to need a ladder nor low enough to get on bended knee (I'll do that in the privacy of my bedroom later). Low MPG is a must as well as a year's paid insurance and tags. Of course it has to be clean. I don't care about expensive rims, but I would like to have a good spare tire. Anyone ready to help me?
I guess since I started this post my comments are germane
Never said that the corporate aspect of the union wasn't dirty but your comments infer that because I am a Teamster that I am dirty as well, if that's what you think , oh well but you're dead wrong.
Believe me if I could I would clean it up. You're an American right? Does the fact that our Federal Government is corrupt or dirty mean that you're dirty? No it doesn't but, are you trying to clean it up? I'm sure you are however you can just like the rest of us but I don't infer nor would I presume to infer upon you that because the government is dirty that you are dirty. There are many Teamsters who are Conservative I am simply one of a few who speak out.
What's really interesting is the fact that I get the same sort of comments, inferences, and innuendos from die hard liberal Teamsters about my conservatism and again, if that's what they think, oh well, they're dead wrong.
I thank God that He is the only one that I have to please. I wasn't created and placed on this earth to win a popularity contest or to win the acceptance of others. I am more than confident in who I am and in whom I trust and believe.
My trust isn't in any political party (Republicans, Democrats, or Independents) or in any Union, my hope and trust is in God.
So please don't presume to tell me what I think. I know what corruption is and I know where corruption is, I see it everywhere on a daily basis and I fight it daily and I am doing my small part in my little corner of this great big world to destroy that corruption as I'm sure you are too.
Write to the White House and tell them that you are 1/14th Cherokee. Promise that the truck will be solar-powered in spite of the huge internal combustion motor, and will be used to pull the King Queen float at the Gay Pride parade, and will carry a large Obama-Forever banner.
The check should be in the mail by the end of the week!
PS - Move immediately after the truck is delivered and change your name. Getting money from or having involvement in any way with the Obama administration makes you a target for a heart attack in your front yard.
Your story speaks loud but not many have an ear for it. We have allowed our good nature and caring disposition to be transformed into a money pit for all who desire to show a little puppy being abused or a child crying and declaring they are hungry. I have stopped giving to any and all charities but the Salvation Army and Church. We have to bring sanity to our charity and stop the abuse from all angles especially the Government who could care less how it is distributed (drugs, guns, hookers, porn) Food stamp abuse is rampant and some are getting rich by showing food sales that never happen and keeping 30-40% for the store. I love people, kids and animals but I know enough is enough and we have to start fresh. You need to know where your money is going or it may be sent back to you in the form of a druggie robbing your house or a car jacking. I know how this sounds but I'm sure we are all an easy mark.
Not much of which if germane. The teamsters support the party of treason to the tune of millionss of $$$$ despite what you think. So there, clean up your union. It's dirty.
Well, I'm glad to see that you all realize that while this was satire the simple reality is that it is in point of fact one of the problems that we have in this nation, "The Gimme Family" sounds like a family from the Shire in Lord of The Rings.
Before my injury I was a Truck Driver and I hope to get back to it soon. Yes I am a Card Carrying Member of the Teamsters Union but let me set the record straight for everyone.
I am First and Foremost a Born Again Christian, I am a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I serve the Living and Risen Lord of Heaven and earth, the God of ALL Creation above all else period, no if's and's or but's.
I am what I have termed a True Conservative and my definition of a True Conservative is this, I am a Conservative in EVERY aspect of my life.
I love and am Faithful to my beautiful wife the Mother of my children, I love my children and my wife and children are second and third only To my God and Eternal King.
I love my country where I was blessed by God Almighty to have been born and where I inherited more freedom and liberty than most will ever know or understand.
I chose to be a Teamster and I am not ashamed to let my fellow Teamsters know that I am Conservative. My Union DOES NOT control me, nor my mind, they do not dictate to me my political philosophy or ideologies, they do not control my vote or my speech. My beliefs and convictions are mine and I have surrendered them to my Lord and Master, Jesus Christ of Nazareth and it is Him alone who orders me and my path.
I may tell or say to you or others that you or we as a Nation need to repent and turn to back to Godly principles but I will not force my will or beliefs upon you because God does not force His will upon me.
I consider myself a Patriot, an America and I will stand beside, fight and even give my life for this Nation with anyone who loves this Nation and the Republic which our Founding Fathers established by the Grace of God.
I am a member of the Tea Party and I am a Teamster and I'm proud of it
Tea Party Teamster
BTW: I didn't ask for the I-phone because I want a new I pad that does everything, so there na na na

Many people experience recurrent pain involving the head, jaw, face and neck. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a common cause of many of these complaints. Temporomandibular disorders are often referred to as "TMJ."
Common TMJ symptoms include:
TMJ sufferers may also report migraines, neck aches, dizziness, jaw fatigue, sinus problems, jaw pain, dental pain, muscle spasms, sleep disruption, restricted jaw motion, grinding and clenching behavior.
A temporomandibular disorder occurs as a result of injury or imbalance of the jaw joints, jaw muscles or other closely aligned or related structures. Contributing factors to TMJ include jaw postural imbalance, abnormal jaw function, stretched or strained muscles and/or ligaments and illnesses such as arthritis. It has been shown that work stress or problems at home can have an impact on temporomandibular disorders. When these factors occur, they may overload the adaptive capabilities of the jaw, resulting in pain and dysfunction.
Impairment of chewing, swallowing, speaking, hearing and even breathing can involve the jaw and related structures. In severe cases of TMJ the jaw can actually lock open or closed and compromise these functions.
Comprehensive care involves therapy from a dentist with special training in jaw postural disorders and atypical orofacial pain. Diagnostic tests may include X-rays, dental models and computerized jaw function measurement. Multidisciplinary treatment can include medical, dental, orthotic, physical, myofascial, behavioral, acupuncture or surgical therapy.

College Hockey:His teammates pick up Stevens, then the Union goalie returns the favor
PHILADELPHIA — When you're named the first-team All-ECAC Hockey and second-team All-American goaltender, you've won a lot of games for your team. The guys in front of you have left you out to dry many a time, and you've saved their bacon. A lot of their bacon.
But then there are times when you need the favor returned.
2014 Frozen Four
Follow all of USCHO's coverage at Frozen Four Central.
It didn't take long for things to go wrong.
Just 2:37 into the game, Stevens fielded a shot but the puck dropped unbeknownst to his feet. Justin Kloos swooped in and knocked it into the net for a gut-wrenching early Gophers lead.
OK guys. My bad. Pick me up.
Shayne Gostisbehere responded with a tying goal at 9:26, but just 37 seconds later, Stevens gave it back. After a Kyle Rau wraparound attempt, Stevens was slow to get back up — too slow — and as he lay prone, body pointed to center ice, Sam Warning fired the puck from along the goal line into the open net.
Two bad goals?
The contest was barely more than 10 minutes old and the unthinkable had happened. In the biggest game of his career, Stevens had given up not one, but two, bad goals in the early going.
"Obviously, I was nervous going into the national championship game," Stevens admitted. "A couple of the goals I definitely would have wanted back."
It was left to his teammates to pick him up as he'd done for them so many times.
"He might want to have one of those back, but he made some huge saves throughout the game," Mat Bodie said. "I think Steve-o played a great game.
"But Shayne really picked us all up with that first goal and got us going. We just expect guys to pick each other up and that's what we tonight."
And, oh, how they did it. Union scored three times in less than two minutes to seize a 4-2 lead they never surrendered.
Early in the second period, Minnesota scored on the rebound after a prolonged flurry, but Stevens made stop after stop after that. He'd finish with 17 saves in the period, none more impressive than when Kloos broke in, forcing a spectacular pad save on him and then Taylor Cammarata on the rebound.
"The more shots I faced, the more confident I felt," Stevens said. "And the guys did a great job in front of me. Hats off to them."
Max Novak scored an insurance goal in the third period that soon became huge because Minnesota's Hudson Fasching responded with a power-play goal with 3:40 remaining on to make it 5-4.
A lifetime.
But Kevin Sullivan scored a backbreaker on the transition to seal the deal at 18:38, and Bodie added an empty-netter soon after. Union had secured its first NCAA hockey championship.
After the rocky start, Stevens stood tall, finishing with 36 saves.
"I didn't play my best game, but it was good enough to win and that's all that matters," he said.
National champions.
"I can't even put into words how good it feels," Stevens said. "It's kind of surreal right now, but it's every kid's dream to win a national championship. I can't wait to bring the title home to Schenectady."

00:55, UK, Wednesday 13 August 2008
Russia and Georgia have agreed to a plan brokered by France aimed at restoring peace in the region, French President Nicolas Sarkozy says.
Russian president Dmitry Medvedev had already said he had endorsed a plan that would see Russian and Georgian troops withdraw to their pre-war positions.
Georgia's president said in a press conference he also agreed to the EU plan.
"There is a text. It has been accepted in Moscow, it was accepted here in Georgia. I have the agreement of all the protaganists,Mr " Sarkozy said at a press conference in the Georgian capital Tbilisi.
The British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, said talks were the only forward to a permanent solution while Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice welcomed the EU mediation and said the US supported Georgia and its people.
A US official also warned that Russia's actions put its integration into global economic institutions at risk.
Earlier, Russia slammed claims that its forces are continuing to attack Georgia after announcing an end to the five-day war in the region.
Georgia's acting ambassador to Britain told Sky News Russian jets were bombing civilian targets in Georgia despite Moscow's announcement that it was calling off its troops.
Georgei Badridze said that Russian bombers had hit targets including a hospital in the town of Gori, villages away from the combat zone and a minibus carrying civilians.
He said the strikes had been carried out after the announcement by Mr Medvedev that the military offensive to protect South Ossetia had been called off.
"We're talking about strikes from helicopter gunships which could not have mistaken these places for anything else," he said.
"If their plan to totally destroy Georgian statehood fails at this stage, they (want to) make us bleed economically."
Witnesses also reported seeing 135 Russian military vehicles driving through Georgia toward Khodori Gorge, part of the breakaway region of Abkhazia controlled by Georgia.
Russia's defence ministry slammed the claims of continuing military action as "provocations", and Russian reports said Georgian forces were shooting at them.
A Russian news agency reported that the ministry had admitted some shots were being fired, but only under "provocation".
The five-day conflict was started when Georgia tried to take control of the pro-Russian province of South Ossetia.
Casualty figures given by each side vary widely, with Russia claiming thousands of deaths and Georgia hundreds.
Moscow accused Georgia of "war crimes" in the area, saying thousands of civilians had been killed before it stepped in and comparing the situation to the war in Kosovo in the 1990s, when European forces stepped in to protect a persecuted minority.
Mr Badridze, however, told Sky News the charges were simply a smokescreen, and said the situation mirrored Hitler's staged invasion of Germany by Poland before the Second World War.
He said that the only way to prevent continuing Russian aggression and safeguard Georgian democracy was for the West to allow Georgia to join Nato.
"The international community has to make the Russians leave Georgia," he added.
Sky News' Andrew Wilson, speaking from the Georgian town of Poti, said that it was possible that orders were taking a long time to pass down the chain of command.
He said that although the Russian fighting machine was formidable, the forces under Moscow's command also included militiamen who may not see their first loyalty as being to the Kremlin.
"There's an element of disorganisation in the military that may become a factor as the EU tries to put a blanket of calm over the situation," he said.
Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili told a large rally outside Georgia's parliament he would pull his country out of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) grouping of ex-Soviet countries.
"We are leaving the CIS for good and propose that other countries leave this body run by Russia," the Russian Interfax news agency quoted him as saying.

For 45 years, Disneyland's Haunted Mansion has been welcoming visitors into its eerie halls. Starting on August 9th, 1969, employees and a limited number of guests were allowed to ride this attraction. On August 12th, the Haunted Mansion opened to the general audience. Let's hope that this spooky ride will continue to give Disney guests the chills and laughter for many years!
- Muesum of the Weird
During the development stages of Disney attractions there are many changes that take place. These changes form the ride that is known today. The Haunted Mansion is no exception as there were many ideas that contributed to the ride. One idea was the Museum of the Weird. According to the website, doombuggies.com, "In an idea Walt explored with Crump for the Haunted Mansion, the attraction would have two portions: the main body of the walk-through attractions, and a queue, or "spill area", at the entrance." This spill area would have been created into a restaurant the 'Mueseum of the Weird' that would host many curiosities around the world.
- Walking Through The Haunted Halls
The Haunted Mansion was originally meant to be a walk-through attraction. Walt Disney asked conceptual artist, Harper Groff and Imagineer Ken Anderson to start the development of the potential attraction. The Haunted Mansion would have guests walk through the attraction and look at the imaginative ideas and tricks set in place by the Imagineers. However, the Museum of the Weird and the walk-through concept was scrapped.
- Is this Haunted Room Actually Stretching?
The Portrait Room is the best introduction to the Haunted Mansion's ghosts and spooky ambiance. Visitors are invited to enter the Portrait Room where paintings at first seem to be normal. As the Portrait Room stretches, visitors can see the true story behind the art. Yet that is not the true surprise...the Portrait Room is actually an elevator that lowers the guests into the ride's soundstage that is located below ground level. According to the Wikipedia article, The Haunted Mansion " The actual ride building of this attraction is located outside the berm surrounding the park, and the Disney Imagineers developed this mechanism to lower the guests to the gallery leading to the ride building." This portrait hallway is an underground passage.
- Somone is Watching...
At the end of the portrait hallway are marble busts that seem to turn and watch every guest's movement but how is that possible? According to doombuggies.com, "When you look at the statues very closely, you'll notice that they are actually negative impressions in the wall, as opposed to positive objects coming towards you." The trick is actually a simple trick of the light!
- Grim, Grinning Ghost ....
The memorable Grim, Grinning Ghost is a melody that plays throughout the attraction. This song was composed by Buddy Baker, who scored classic films such as The Fox and the Hound. The lyrics were written by Xavier Atencio, who also worked on the theme song of another attraction, Pirates of the Caribbean. An interesting fact is that Xavier Atencio voiced the skeleton stuck in his coffin in the conservatory "Hey! Let me out of here!"
- A Chilling Crew
The Haunted Mansion has a cast of amazing performers. The Ghost Host that narrates the ride was actually voiced by Paul Frees, who voiced Professor Ludwig Von Drake and several pirates of the Pirates of the Caribbean. The singing busts in the graveyard, the Phantom Five are voiced by Verne Rowe, Bob Ebright, Jay Meyer, Chuck Schroeder and Thurl Ravenscroft (who sang You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch). The spooky fortune-teller was modeled on Leota Toombs (who also plays the Ghost Hostess at the end of the attraction) and voiced by Eleanor Audley, who also performs as Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty and Lady Tremaine in Cinderella
- A Swinging Wake
In the Haunted Mansion there is a celebration going on! In the ballroom, couples sway gracefully on the dance floor while the special guest blows the candles on her "deathday cake" and one phantom swings on the chandelier. If a Disney guests looks at the fancy table there is a plate setting there is a Hidden Mickey!
- A Ghostly Bash
The Death Day party is sure a fun time and everyone celebrates. The music is being provided by a phantom playing a jaunty tune off the grand pipe organ. This grand instrument is an actual set piece from the Disney film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and belongs to the character Captain Nemo.
- Here Comes the Bride...
In the attic, there is a bride that haunts the area. Known as the Black Widow Bride, Constance Hatchaway married...and desposed her five wealthy husbands. Her ghost still haunts the Haunted Mansion and is waiting for the next Mr. Right. The Black Widow Bride is voiced and played by Kat Cressida. Her photographs are depicted by Julia Lee...who ominously stands next to her husbands.
- 999 Ghosts...And Room for One More
The Haunted Mansion hosts 999 ghosts and ghouls within its halls. Each spook has its own story, ranging from the Egyptian mummy who mumbles the Grim, Grinning Ghost theme song from behind his wrappings to the dueling ghosts in the ballroom. The hitchhiking trio at the end of the ride want to keep on their own story. These three are called Phineas, Ezra and Gus.
- Other Creeping Crypts
There are several Disney Parks that have their own version of the Haunted Mansion. Tokyo Disneyland and the WDW's version is a formidable brick version that is inspired by the Southern Californian original. The Haunted Mansion also inspired the Hong Kong Disney's Mystic Manor and Disneyland Park hosts the Phantom Manor.
- Jingle Bells and Scary Spells
In September, the Haunted Mansion overgoes a rather scary transformation and becomes the Haunted Mansion Holiday. Every year, the residents of Halloweentown arrive to Southern California and stay with the ghosts living in the gloomy manor. This combination of scary and sweet is a seasonal attraction that should not be missed.

The United States District Court, Southern District of California on Wednesday granted a joint motion filed earlier in the day by attorneys for Ares Armor and the Department of Justice. The order vacated as moot a preliminary injunction hearing scheduled for Thursday, vacated the Temporary Restraining Order issued on March 11 (and the modification issued on March 14), and affirmed Ares Armor's rights to file an amended complaint and to seek further injunctive relief.
"In consideration of the specific injunctive relief requested by the [temporary restraining order obtained by Ares Armor on March 11] to prevent the seizure of the Property [i.e., the precursor receivers and customer information], the Court's modification of the TRO on March 14, the issuance of a search warrant and the subsequent execution of that warrant and seizure of the Property by the Defendants on March 15, 2014, the request for injunctive relief to prevent the seizure of the Property appears moot," the motion explained. "Judicial economy and the parties' interests in preserving resources for litigating the actual merits of this case are furthered by dropping the preliminary injunction issue at [t]his time."
"[T]he requested injunctive relief is now moot, and ... going forward with the hearing would be a waste of resources," the court agreed.
Today's motion and order marks the bringing out of the big guns, as Ares Armor was represented by Chuck Michel of Michel & Associates, P.C. Michel's clients include the National Rifle Association and its state affiliate, the California Rifle and Pistol Association. Additionally, NRA's lawyers and experts are assisting on the specific legal and technical issues.
Michel's firm has litigated literally hundreds of firearms cases involving constitutional issues, including Second Amendment challenges, in both state and federal trial and appellate courts, and over the years Michel has helped both draft as well as advocate against ill-conceived legislation in order to protect California gun owners. Most recently, Michel's firm brought us the tremendous win in the NRA-sponsored Peruta case which, if it withstands further Ninth Circuit or Supreme Court review, will bring shall-issue to California.
In related developments, legal sources advise Gun Rights Examiner that actions against EP Armory and Ares Armor were initiated in large part because of law enforcement interest in so-called "build parties," including when such collaborative efforts would legally be considered "manufacturing firearms." Concerns expressed by the California Department of Justice were also said to play an influential role in ATF's decision to assert itself through the recent investigations and seizures.
One source gave strong warning that owners of facilities where equipment and guidance are provided must exercise caution to keep things legal. Law enforcement agents have reportedly conducted stings resulting in prosecutable arrests merely by requesting assistance or feigning lack of operating skill to complete metal or polymer precursor receivers like the ones sold by Ares. Well-meaning proprietors and employees could then be caught up along with those knowingly and actively skirting the rules, it was emphasized.
Speculation is also rampant as to the legal status of the precursor receivers, commonly though from a legal perspective not really accurately referred to as "80 percent lower receivers." EP Armory is said to have submitted their polymer precursor receiver to ATF's Firearms Technology Branch, which concluded that it was a "firearm" under the law based on a misunderstanding of the sequence of the manufacturing process. Per BearingArms.com, "EP Armory's lowers are injection-molded ... and they claim that their build order [has] the sprue in the fire control group area constructed first, and the rest of the receiver molded around it, which would seem to make it compliant as constructed."
EP Armory was (and still is, now represented by the Michel firm) contesting that FTB determination and seeking a correction when ATF opted to take action. EP's lawyer at the time contested the FTB's initial determination, and the Michel firm is now continuing to pursue a correction from the FTB.
At this point it is unknown if FTB will reconsider based on the clarified manufacturing process, or whether FTB might consider the precursor receiver a "firearm" regardless based on the effort and sophistication necessary to complete the receiver and make it functional. Also at issue is whether ATF agents relied on the FTB assessment or had subsequent information leading them to question it, which could have implications on sworn "probable cause" statements they submitted to the court in order to obtain warrants for seizures from Ares, EP Armory, and other suppliers.
A final caution expressed to this correspondent deals with Ares Armor customers who may be approached by law enforcement investigators. First is the admonition to not speak with authorities, something gun owners ought to be aware of without needing to be reminded, to not consent to any searches without warrants, and to demand to speak with an attorney. They can also email Michel's firm at email@example.com.
That said, because simply purchasing a "firearm" (assuming the precursor receivers are "firearms under the law) from a non-dealer is not a federal crime, the feeling is individuals who purchase a single EP lower may be viewed more as witnesses, as opposed to suspects, although that should not be assumed and all cautions apply. Expect law enforcement, for obvious reasons, to focus on those who bought these lowers in quantity.
How ATF will determine who those people are is still unclear. Perhaps receipts will indicate part numbers and credit/debit accounts used will tie that in to the individual. Perhaps there is a mailing list, and/or a combination of other records.

So I've read in Mark Sobell's book on Linux, that Linux by default is open to remote administration. Now seen as I'm running a Fedora 17, on a laptop I never have to administrate anything on remotely, I see this as a door to my house needlessly being open to a picklock. Now I'm not worried about my passwords being bruteforced by even a FPGA, but all kinds of security breaches simply happen sometimes (and often from inside), so I'd like to close this window of opportunity to any hacker just to be diligent. And preferably also monitor this change.
So how do I disable Linux from allowing remote logins/remote access in general?

Modesto CA: Search warrants served in Stanislaus County.
Responding to a recent general increase in violent gang related criminal activity throughout Stanislaus County, local law enforcement agencies have combined their resources and collaborated together to increase their effectiveness and individual efforts. This joint effort is a proactive investigative measure to combat gang activity and developed into the service of several search warrants executed today. These mutual efforts were in response to the broad rise in criminal street gang incidents throughout the Stanislaus County area.
Numerous agencies participated in the service of these search warrants including the Modesto Police Department, Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department, Ceres Police Department, Turlock Police Department, and the FBI. Although this is a continuing joint endeavor, an immediate result of these combined efforts resulted in the search warrants served throughout Stanislaus County earlier today.
Vigorously combating any increase in criminal activity, sharing criminal knowledge, and prudently using valuable resources represent a few of the beneficial outcomes of combining the resources of all involved agencies. This is an ongoing investigative effort between all involved agencies and detectives as they continue to work throughout the day processing the results of these search warrants.
For information about this news release, contact police spokesman Officer Scott Nelson, 209-652-2160.

On VH1's paean to all things loud, host Eddie Trunk plays the world's most obsessive metalhead with an endearingly deadly earnestness. To Trunk, an interview with Dee Snider is as serious as 60 Minutes talking to Henry Kissinger. The show may consist of nothing beyond him sitting around shooting the shit with the gods of metal, but he sees himself as the spokesman for all the fans out there who have watched their favorite music mocked and ignored for decades. "As crazy as it sounds, they see me as their leader," Trunk says. "I have a very strong belief about how this music has been marginalized." And even though the ratings for TMS continue to grow after eight seasons, prompting its recent expansion to a full hour, Trunk is far from satisfied. "I want to be the Letterman of metal," he says. "I want five nights a week, Monday to Friday, 11 to 12, live. I always shoot for the moon."

Kanye West at Paris Fashion Week
Kanye West won't be showing his fashion collection here this season, after his two previous Paris shows resulted in a bashing from the fashion establishment. (And also from me.)
But he was out in force on Sunday, making front row appearances along with a burly body guard at Celine and Givenchy. The accompanying video – shot as the music star exited Givenchy's show on Sunday night — makes clear why he has the bodyguard. (See below)
There's little doubt that Kanye loves fashion. But it's less clear whether he has shuttered his Kanye label, after a learning effort that included spending what sounds like a fortune on design consultants and befriending some of Europe's most famous designers, including Peter Dundas, of Pucci, and Riccardo Tisci, of Givenchy. (His new girlfriend Kim Kardashian, by the way, is nowhere in sight.)
Kanye West will be back here in March to show his own fashion line, according to a spokeswoman. For now, though, he's a fashion tourist.

I am given a two-dimensional absolute continuous random variable, whose density function is defined as followed:
$f_X,_Y(x,y)=1/2 $ if $0<x<1$ and $0<y<4x$.
I have found the marginal density functions of X and Y to be:
$f_X(x)=2x$ if $0<x<1$
$f_Y(y)=\frac{1}{2}(1-\frac{y}{4})$ if $0<y<4$
The thing is now, that I have to find the probability that $P(X+Y>1)$. However, I'm lost here. Looking around it seems as though you able to find $P(Z\le z) = P (X+Y \le z)$ by intregrating:
And then I figured I could just minus the result of this integration from 1 to find the desired result. However, I'm not getting the correct result (for whatever reason):
Hope you can help, I might just be on a completely wrong track.

Just an amazing performance
Conducted by Maestro Niels Muus, a renowned Mozart specialist from Vienna and directed by David Ostwald, a stage director of great experience and understanding of opera as theater, author of the book '_Acting for Singers_.
Each night features a different cast.
About the Ticket Supplier: Opera Academy of CaliforniaThe Opera Academy of California (OAC, rhymes with "oak") is a non-profit charitable and educational organization, founded to educate new audiences about opera, and to give promising young singers an opportunity to polish their craft. We believe that bringing quality performers and appreciative audiences together will broaden the number of people who become passionate about this wonderful form of musical theatre.
We opened the Opera Academy in June of this year with an appreciation class for audiences on "The Queen of Spades" just prior to the San Francisco Opera's presentation of this Tchaikovsky classic. We are developing a series of opera appreciation classes based on the season of the SF Opera and Opera Companies around the Bay Area. In the future, we will have Master classes for singers that will be open to you. These public Master classes are a great opportunity for opera aficionados to get a behind-the-scenes peek into the work that singers and directors put into the dramatic performance you see on the stage.

So, it's been awhile since I've participated with Booking Through Thursday, but just loved this week's topic:
Who's your favorite author that other people are NOT reading? The one you want to evangelize for, the one you would run popularity campaigns for? The author that, so far as you're concerned, everyone should be reading–but that nobody seems to have heard of. You know, not JK Rowling, not Jane Austen, not Hemingway–everybody's heard of them. The author that you think should be that famous and can't understand why they're not…
So, in addition to submitting my own choice(s), tonight I will be sure to search through the other entries and share them with everyone very soon! Please feel free to leave a comment below with your own choice, too!
The first two authors who came to mind were Mahbod Seraji's Rooftops of Tehran and anything by Ad Hudler. I think these two have garnered more attention lately, but just in case they are still writing in obscurity, I thought I would offer them as my choices.
Seraji's take on his native land of Iran — while still writing a darn good tale — has stayed with me long after I finished it.
Ad Hudler is just so funny and smart — I wanted to buy Househusband and Man of the House for a few people this Christmas and neither Borders nor Barnes and Noble had Hudler in stock. So, I figure he must still be somewhat obscure. (I've linked the titles to my review, by the way).
So, who else should be saved from obscurity (and why)?
