The Sunday, June 22 series premiere of "The Last Ship," TNT's newest summer action drama, does a decent job of setting up what seems to be coming in the rest of the summer. A deadly virus has swept through the world, and the only hope seems to be one scientist on board a naval ship, but there are, of course, many, many obstacles in the way.
The premiere of "The Last Ship" is all about setting up the plot, so while we're introduced to the crew and scientists on the ship, there are only a couple of moments spent trying to flesh out these characters – and "trying" is the key word there. The only character we really get a decent feel for beyond his or her post in the first episode is Chandler, and that's via a video message from his family from days before, showing him they're safe (at least then).
For Slattery, only a couple of lines are devoted to his loss in a blink-and-miss-it moment because once he refuses to take a break, it's like it never happened. As for Rachel Scott, we know really next to nothing about her other than the fact that she's humanity's only hope for survival. And as for the rest of the crew, we only get a glimpse into the lives of one couple as they duck aside for private time and then wonder what's waiting at home. So, like we said, we don't really learn enough to really care about the survivors.
However, what the pilot does do well is establish just how serious this situation is. We can feel the same urgency the characters must feel, as the episode shows just how quickly the very sick become the dying and how the dying become the dead, with no hope for the infected. In the span of four months, it has gone from being a situation with thousands quarantined and hundreds dead, at phase 2, to a global pandemic, with 80 percent of the world's population infected, at phase 6. Suddenly complaints about the cold weather are the least of their concerns. Even with the possibility of a cure, the outlook is bleak, just as we see with Benz, who becomes infected when the crew steps on board an Italian ship to collect fuel and food. Even when given a direct order from his captain, Benz chooses to take his own life rather than let the virus take it from him.
Even though the crew of the ship thinks they're out there running drills, they soon learn that the real reason for their mission is Rachel Scott's: to search for the primordial strain to hopefully find a cure. It's not until Russians begin attacking Rachel, Quincy and the solders guarding them on the ice that Chandler even finds out about the virus and how serious it has become – and even then, it falls on him to decide whether or not to tell his crew. He does, and that's only the first of the hard decisions he'll have to make aboard the ship with regards to his crew.
When their orders from the President of the United States (who was the Speaker of the House when they left) are changed and then they can't reach anyone to verify, Chandler's the one to decide they'll stay on the ship and Rachel will make the cure there and head to Gitmo for food and fuel instead of attempting to go inland to a lab and try to find their families.
Sure, some of it is also predictable, including Rachel's revelation that the virus has an extra gene, which could have only been added with human intervention, meaning someone likely weaponized it. There's already some disagreement in the ranks, as Slattery argues with Chandler when the captain decides to stay on the ship. Not everyone on board the ship – or in the lab, as Rachel will probably soon realize – can be trusted.
Despite its flaws, visually and as an action drama, it is a winner, and it's a series that shows real promise to become another summer success for TNT. The network has wisely chosen to pair it with an already established hit in "Falling Skies," making for a thrilling Sunday night of television. No one can accuse TNT of ending the weekend without a bang with this lineup.
"The Last Ship" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on TNT. What did you think of the series premiere?

RAMSAU, Austria (AP) — Magnus Moan led a Norwegian 1-2 finish ahead of Mikko Kokslien at a World Cup Nordic combined event Saturday to move top of the overall standings.
It was Moan's third win of the season and 22nd overall.
He was third after the jumping discipline and started the 10-kilometer cross-country 30 seconds behind Austria's Mario Seidl and 28 behind Norway's Haavard Klemetsen.
Moan soon took the lead and finished in 22 minutes, 53.6 seconds, beating Kokslien by 5.9 seconds.
Fabian Riessle of Germany was 7.4 back in third. Defending overall champion Jason Lamy Chappuis of France, who led the standings going into the event, finished 13.5 behind Moan in fifth place. Seidl and Klemetsen finished outside of the top-10.
Moan leads with 313 points, followed by Lamy Chappuis with 275 and Bernhard Gruber of Austria with 168.
Another Nordic combined World Cup event in Ramsau is scheduled for Sunday.

Unlike Passover or Yom Kippur, Purim is not one of the holidays we are commanded to observe in the Torah—but we hardly need to be commanded to celebrate this festive reminder of God's watch-care over the people of Israel! For some, Purim is a day for practical jokes and noisy, uninhibited fun. For others, it's all about the hamantaschen. These delicious, jam-filled, three-cornered pastries not only remind us of how our nemesis, Haman, received his just "desserts," but they just taste so good. And isn't it refreshing to have a holiday with a woman hero? What Jewish girl wouldn't like to be as brave and as beautiful as Queen Esther?
Yet we feel there is more to the holiday than the fun and pageantry we've all come to expect on Purim. The theme of deliverance is obvious, but have you stopped to think about how God used not-so-obvious people and situations over and over, throughout the Book of Esther? God does not always bring about deliverance according to our plans or expectations. The book of Esther is proof of that... and we Jews for Jesus invite you to consider a Messianic perspective, which is: God has a personal plan of deliverance for you that may also come from an unexpected source.

In the year 2001, Purim fell on my birthday. This year, I have a dental appointment on March 5. That's so disheartening.
God bless Jews for Jesus. Hope y'all have a wonderful, fun and meaningful Purim.

Spain's king leaves hospital after hip surgery
Posted at: 10/01/2013 8:35 AM
(AP) MADRID - Spain's King Juan Carlos has left a Madrid hospital a week after he had a hip prosthesis successfully removed because it had developed an infection.
The 75-year-old was driven away from Quiron hospital Tuesday after telling reporters that he felt fine.
The king underwent the operation Sept. 24. It was his fifth operation in less than two years. He will need another operation in less than two months.
Surgeon Miguel Cabanela has said the king could return to limited activity on leaving hospital.
The latest health problem raised some speculation as to whether it was time for the king to abdicate in favor of his son, Crown Prince Felipe, but this was ruled out by the royal palace.

Writing in Inside Poland, Anthony Casey tells the world to take a deep breath and ratchet down the rhetoric about Vladimir Putin.
Alternatively, speaking to Euractive.com, German MEP Werner Schultz calls Putin "a dictator" and "unscrupulous" and outlines direct action, through visa restrictions, to impact the course of events for Ukrainians.
Writing in BlogActiv, Dimitris Rapidis notes that the EU and the US would be wrong to assume that Ukraine's instability automatically means it can be absorbed into the EU. He details three priorities which should happen first.

Read Superintendent Randy Stepp's unsigned, undated contract given to teachers union
Read Stepp's revised contract signed in 2009 adding longevity incentive (Item 23)
Read Stepp's revised contract signed in 2011 adding payment of past college loans and altering longevity incentive (Items 6 & 23)
Loren Genson and David Knox
MEDINA — Taxpayers paid thousands more for Medina Schools Superintendent Randy Stepp's education than his contract originally called for, according to a review of public records by The Gazette.
While a clause in Stepp's Feb. 16, 2009, contract provided reimbursement for college courses he might take "for the purpose of expanding his professional knowledge and skill," it wasn't until November 2011 — nearly three years later — that the pact was modified to cover Stepp's "past academic degrees."
Two months after the contract was amended, Stepp took advantage of the new benefit.
On Jan. 9, 2012, he directed the Medina County Schools Educational Service Center to cut a check for $172,011.40 to the U.S. Department of Education to pay off his college loans.
Stepp earned three degrees at Ashland University: a bachelor's in science education in 1993, a master's in education in 1998, and a doctorate in education in 2010, according to his personnel records.
Only the doctorate involved courses Stepp took at Ashland after he became superintendent in 2006.
The loan payoffs represented about three-quarters of the total $244,037 the school board has paid for Stepp's college degrees. The remaining $72,026 went for courses at Case Western Reserve University he took while serving as superintendent. He completed his master's in business administration at Case in 2011.
The district's payment of nearly a quarter-million dollars for Stepp's education became an issue last week in the growing controversy over his new contract that included an $83,000 signing bonus.
At a public forum March 8 — in response to heated questions from the audience of about 400 parents, students and residents — Stepp said he would pay back the bonus out of his paycheck.
At the forum, school board member Bill Grenfell said he approved giving Stepp the bonus to ensure he stayed in Medina.
Stepp has said he had other job offers.
"I did it to protect our investment in Dr. Stepp," Grenfell said.
Questions remain as to how and why that investment was made.
Contract amended
The board amended the 2009 contract during a work session Nov. 7, 2011.
The changes were approved by Charles Freeman, Bob Grenfell, Susan Vlcek, who served as chairwoman in 2011, and former member Mark Dolan. Then-board member Robert Wilder was absent from the session.
Why did the school board agree to pay for Stepp's college debt?
Grenfell declined to answer, referring the question to Freeman, who now serves as board president.
Freeman said he "honestly can't remember" the details of the 2011 changes in the contract.
Vlcek also declined to explain the reason behind the board's decision.
"You've got the language" of the contract, she said. "We've really talked this to death. I hope we've given you good information. We're really trying to move on."
The public record is silent on the issue of how the decision was made: Ohio law does not require minutes to be kept at executive sessions, which are closed to the public, and where Stepp's contract was negotiated. The minutes of the Nov. 7, 2011, work session only show the vote.
When asked whether the board knew how big the bill would be for Stepp's college debt, Vlcek did not answer directly, responding: "We did invest in the education of our superintendent of our staff."
Asked whether he told the board the specifics of the payments for his education, Stepp also declined to give a direct answer.
"It's in my contract," he said. "It's a board-approved contract."
The board did not play a direct role in paying off Stepp's debt. A review of board meeting minutes fails to show any authorization of specific payments.
Check written
It was Stepp himself who directed the treasurer of the county Educational Service Center to write the checks.
The center pools funds from all seven school districts serving the county to finance programs providing services common to all the schools, such as bus driver training.
Service Center Treasurer Michelle McNeely said the money to pay Stepp's college debt and courses at Case Western Reserve came from an account maintained for each school district containing overpayments for programs.
McNeely said some districts apply the money in the accounts to other invoices from the educational center. But the money also can be directed to pay other bills.
"They will send us information saying, 'we have an expenditure,' " McNeely said. "We create a purchase order and we receive an OK from them and we go ahead and make the payment."
Stepp first directed McNeely to write a check to Case Western Reserve University on May 13, 2010.
"With the support of the board and per expectations of me as are outlined in my contract, I am going to be taking business level course work at Case," he wrote in an email to McNeely. "I will need a check for $75 to apply and then, if accepted, a check for a $750 deposit."
Four more payments to Case Western were directed by Stepp totaling $72,026 for his MBA degree.
In directing McNeely to cut a $172,011.40 check for his college debt in 2012, the only documentation Stepp provided was a computer "screenshot" of the federal student aid website listing the "payoff amount" for three loans: $57,145, $105,842 and $9,023.
The screenshot does not indicate any details for what courses or degrees the loans were incurred.
Stepp said he didn't provide a breakdown for the loans because it was not required.
"It's negotiated as part of my contract," he reiterated about the payoff amount.
Nor is there a record of the school board asking Stepp for an itemization of his educational or living expenses the loans paid for.
Second thoughts on levy
At a special meeting Friday night, the board discussed whether to withdraw a 5.9-mill levy on the May ballot in the wake of the public reaction to the controversy about Stepp's contract.
Andrew Shea, the board's non-voting student representative, said the levy has lost the support of many voters who consider the board to be guilty of "mismanagement of funds."
Shea pointed out that the teachers have agreed to concessions and students have seen cuts in their programs in recent years.
He said the superintendent's failure to have "taken any concessions appears to be — maybe mismanagement of money isn't the best way to put it — wrong principally."

McGoldrick Community Library is located in the Murray Hill section of Flushing (also known as Broadway-Flushing). It occupies an eastern corner of North Flushing. Broadway was the original name of Northern Boulevard. Before the area was developed it consisted mostly of nurseries owned by families named Parsons, King and Murray. This area was developed in1889, and in April of that year, the Murray Hill LIRR station was built on 150th Street and 41st Ave.
McGoldrick Community Library has had many different locations. Originally in 1911 service was provided from a small traveling station- unfortunately it closed in 1916 because of low circulation. In 1925 library service was started again but then closed two years later since adequate space for the library could not be found. In 1930, the library was established as the Broadway-Flushing library.
In July 1931, the library moved to a building on 162nd street and Broadway. During this time the name of the library was changed to McGoldrick to honor the late Reverend Edward F. McGoldrick, a local pastor and library trustee.
The library was moved twice to two different locations on Depot Road over the next 40 years, until 1974 when the library moved to its present location on 155th street and Roosevelt Avenue. The library serves a residential diversified community including Chinese, Korean and Spanish populations and has many materials available to the customers in their home language.

This is an interesting commentary in modern relationships.
On the one hand we live in a male dominated society where men are to pursue and be in charge of relationships. This is the one relationship where a male can pursue and be in charge of the relationship yet the female is in a position of authority over said male.
The female teacher should have reported the boy for sexual harassment on day one. Sexually pursuing a teacher should have some ramifications but not as much as a teacher sexually engaging a student.

Lets see, A guy has sex with his baby sitter, shoots her full of meth and heroine, lies to police and mom for months, cut up a body and put in garbage bags with the help of his wife they dispose of the body in the woods. They are charged with first degree felonies. A young school teacher has consentual sex with a 17 year old male. She is charged with the same felony charge. Really? what is wrong with our legal system. Yet in Logan a 17 year old is caught having sex with his college professor up the canyon. He gets a class B misdemeanor and the teen who instigated it all gets nothing. Its time to change our laws or our prisons are going to be full.

She is not the first pretty teacher to be pursued by a student. It was her responsibility to put an end to the flirtation at the beginning. It's too bad it went as far as it did. Yes, her life is ruined. She is most likely going to jail and will be dubbed a sexual predator for the rest of her life. Her children will be raised by her ex-husband and (probably) his new wife, and they will always know why mom and dad divorced. You can choose your behavior. You are not free from the consequences of those choices.

What ever happens to the kids? Nothing! The kids know exactly what they are doing! Everyone wants to blame the teacher. WAKE UP! Kids these days know nothing about their actions or how to take responsibility. This kid wasn't harmed, he knew exactly what he was doing, yet somehow he was the victim. The schools are run by spoiled bratty kids who run to their parents to cover something up. When will we wake up?!

I don't understand why people believe the teacher is the victim here. It doesn't matter if it's a female or male teacher having sex with a female or male student. If the student is under the age 18 he/she is considered a minor. In this case the teacher is 34 and female and she had sex with a 17 year old male student. That alone is illegal here in Utah because the age of consent is 18. The teacher should be charged with statutory rape. This teacher is a mature adult who was perfectly capable of stopping this situation from beginning but she didn't. This teacher needs to be held accountable for her choice she made in engaging in a sexual relationship with a minor. You may not agree with me, but it's the law and she broke it!

Its a stupid law! This was a 17 yr old boy who knows exactly what he wants. They are equally to blame. She should not have to spend one single night in jail. Its a stupid law. Think about it..if this boys birthday were March 30 and he turned 18 on March 30th but they had sex at 11:55 pm on March 29th he is a minor? Cmom, what a joke, did he really all of sudden turn into an adult man in 5 minutes?

Recently I put together a fitness bucket list on pinterest. Many of my fellow fitfluential ambassadors have been putting these together as well, and since I've had mine created for about a month now, I figured it was time to share!
So what's on my list?
- Cherry Blossom Ten Miler
- Army Ten Miler – all registered!
- Nike Women's Half Marathon – there is one in San Fran but there will be one in DC in spring 2013! I'm sure it'll be a lottery system, but 'll be entering!
- 24 Hour Relay Run – Ragnar Race or Reach the Beach would be awesome
- Zooma Annapolis Half Marathon – hopefully spring 2013

Private Healthcare Australia member funds today provide healthcare benefits for over 12.8 million Australians.
Private Healthcare Australia had its origins on 21 April 1971 when health funds met in Canberra to form the Voluntary Health Insurance Association of Australia Ltd. VHIAA was incorporated on 2 December 1986, taking over the role, functions and assets of the previously unincorporated body which itself represented an industry Association combining the interests of "open" Health Funds and Friendly Societies in health insurance.
In November 1991 VHIAA changed its name to the Australian Health Insurance Association Limited (AHIA) and amended its articles to allow all non-government health funds to take out membership. In October 2011, AHIA changed its name to Private Healthcare Australia.
Private Healthcare Australia currently has 19 nationally registered member organisations, which collectively represents approximately 96 percent of persons covered by private health insurance.
The principal objective of Private Healthcare Australia is to advance the interests of its members and their contributors at every opportunity in relations with governments, the media, and other organisations involved in the health care field.
It also provides an information and advisory service in relation to issues affecting health financing and maintains, on an industry basis, ongoing relationships with other professional groups and industry associations.
The role and objectives of Private Healthcare Australia are:
- To foster and promote the principles, practice, development and philosophy of voluntary health insurance;
- To make representations and submissions where deemed necessary or desirable to the appropriate persons or authorities in respect of any matter affecting the interests of members
- To provide a medium through which opinions of members may be ascertained or expressed;
- To consult and liaise with relevant national, international and institutional authorities and agencies in Australia and overseas ;
- To maintain close cooperation with departments and agencies of the Government of Australia in order to be fully informed as to Government policies relating to voluntary health insurance;

Insurance company Lloyd's of London said it has awarded a $1 million policy for Pittsburgh Steelers strong safety Troy Polamalu's famous head of hair.
The player is famous for his instantly recognizable locks, which reportedly haven't been cut in more than seven years.
Officials with Lloyd's, which also insures celebrity assets including Jennifer Lopez's behind and actress America Ferrara's smile, said the policy will cover on-the-field hair damage, but not natural events such as male pattern baldness.
"Besides having that iconic hair, Troy is a wonderful and genuine person," said April Anslinger, North American Head & Shoulders brand manager. She said the insurance policy was "a brilliant idea, because at the end of the day, we know hair, and we want to protect our (spokesman's) best asset."

Sept. 18, 2009
Fresno, Calif. (AP) - Junior Ryan Mathews sprinted for another breakout night with 234 rushing yards, the third highest single-game mark in school history, and three touchdowns of more than 60 yards in Fresno State's high-scoring battle with No. 10 Boise State that ended in a 51-34 defeat for the home team on Friday night.
The entertaining evening of explosive plays turned into a truly wild WAC shootout.
The nationally-ranked Broncos, only the third Top 10 school to play in Bulldog Stadium, jumped out to an early 24-3 midway through the second quarter, highlighted by an early 30-yard Winston Venable interception return for a touchdown and a 60-yard DJ Harper scamper.
But the Bulldogs, in front of a strong sea of white in Fresno State's first football "Wear White Night," relied on their powerful running game and talented offensive weapons to cut the deficit to 24-17 at halftime after Mathews recorded a pair of 60-plus yard runs to quickly jumpstart the Dogs' comeback bid.
Fresno State climbed back within a field goal with 11:39 left in the third quarter when the lightning-quick Devon Wylie grabbed a 21-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Ryan Colburn in the corner of the endzone to cut Boise State's lead to 27-24.
But the Broncos highlight reel plays proved to be too much to overcome.
Boise State's Jeremy Avery led his Broncos with 186 yards, with the longest coming on a 74-yard dash that Fresno State's A.J. Jefferson jarred loose at the goal line. The ball bounced straight into the hands of a trailing Titus Young for a critical Boise State score on a two-play drive immediately following the Wylie touchdown.
Mathews added his third touchdown just over a minute and a half into the fourth quarter on a 68-yard run to keep the Bulldogs fighting late in the game to climb back within a possession at 41-34.
Avery then answered with a 67-yard screen pass that restored Boise State's 14-point lead early in the fourth quarter and ended the Bulldogs valiant threat on a 69-yard run that set up a field goal. Avery finished with 186 yards on 11 carries, with 83 more yards receiving.
Colburn finished the night with 187 passing yards and converted two key fourth down conversions.
Bulldog safety Moses Harris led the Bulldog defense with 9 tackles, followed by A.J. Jefferson's eight tackles with six of them unassisted and one for a two-yard loss.
Fresno State (1-2, 0-1 WAC) will next face the Big East's Cincinnati Bearcats on the road in Ohio. The game will be broadcast on ESPN Regional and can be viewed on the Bulldog Sports Network through KAIL-53 in Fresno.
"We Are Your Team" - The Bulldogs travel to Cincinnati to take on the Big East Champion Bearcats on Saturday, September 26th at 9 a.m. The game can be seen on the Bulldog Sports Network on KAIL MY53 (Comcast Cable, Channel 13). The Bulldogs return to Bulldog Stadium on Saturday, October 17 as the Dogs host San Jose State in their annual Homecoming game. The Community Food Bank along with the Bulldog Pantry will be hosting a food drive so be sure to bring canned food to help feed the hungry in the Central Valley. Tickets can be purchased at the Bulldog Ticket Office, by calling 278-DOGS or online at GoBulldogs.com.
HEAD COACH Pat Hill: "That was a heck of a football game. I'm really proud of our team. After being down 24-3 a lot of teams would have packed it in, but we battled back and made it a one-touchdown game at the half. We battled all night. We didn't get many breaks and every time we had a chance to tie the game they hit a big play."
"Give Boise (State) credit. They are a heck of a team. They have been dominating this league for years and the played very well tonight. They have some magic going on right now. They made big plays when they needed to. Avery is a fast guy, but so is Ryan Mathews. There was a lot of speed on the field tonight."
"For us to have 500 total yards against Boise State says a lot about the skill level of our team. Not many teams can put up those numbers against them."
"This is a young team and early in the season and we are going to get better and better. We will learn from this game. Ryan Colburn made some mistakes in the first half because they through some things at him that he hadn't seen before, but he made some adjustments and he played a whale of a second half. He's a real leader on this team."
"There are some guys in there (locker room) who are hurting, but I told them we will rebound and get ready for Cincinnati. We have a tough road ahead of us but we will get better. I still think we have a chance to have a very, very good football team this season."
Ryan Colburn: "You got to give Boise State credit, they're a heck of a football team, there's no question about it. Every time we'd battle back and we came up with some big plays, they'd come right back and answer. He (Ryan Mathews) is unbelievable. I've been saying it for a while, everyone knows he's talented, but that guy is very hungry. He's heartbroken right now. I guarantee if you could tell him that he could have only had 10 yards rushing and we would have won, he would have taken it in a second."
Ryan Mathews: "Our line was doing a really good job pressing their defensive line back and the running backs were doing a good job of running where the holes were. I just wanted to make it a point that I belong with the best. Our line did so good, I give all the credit to them. You just have to make one guy miss. I like making safeties miss, that's what a running back is supposed to do. You always got to make that one guy miss and then it's off to the races. I give all the credit to my linemen, they played their butts off. All I do is run, they're in the trenches working their butts off just trying to get me to the holes. My position coach, coach Wade was telling me, `You got to get us back in it, you got to get us back in it." After that first big run he said he had a feeling I was going to break that one, and all of a sudden, I'm off to the end zone. I just had my mind focused on `I got to just make one guy miss.'"
Chris Carter: "It's turned into a rivalry between us over the years. This is a game you don't want to give up. As a defensive player, as a pass rusher, you want to go in with the mind set of how am I going to go by him next play or how am I going to go through him or confuse him."

What kind of cable shuold I use to connect two routers, straight or crossover?
Unless the ports are auto-sensing, the receive pins must match up with the transmit pins and this will require a crossover cable.
The rule of thumb is: when connecting similar devices (router to router, computer to computer) use a crossover cable. When connecting dissimilar devices (router to switch, computer to switch) use a straight through cable.
Of course Auto-MDIX and designated uplink ports can make this a moot point, and can make it confusing at times.

What is the issue at stake that keeps many of us from saying the word "no" to a request? In most cases there is a complex number of variables such as the value of the relationship, the expectancy of a future outcome or our need to be liked. Each of these would have to be teased apart and examined for independent study, but let's suffice to say that one or more of them is being over-emphasized such that it is interfering with our ability to communicate the entirety of our message. If we were to imagine ourselves in a state of freedom to articulate a point solely on what's important to us alone, how would we respond to requests that we didn't have time for or outside of the things we valued? Our message would be clear, direct, and absolute. This gives the requester the message that they have less opportunity to dispute. Though they may finagle a way of engaging your warmer emotions, your repeated response does not give them much breathing room for it to take life.
There are ways to say "no" in those terms without harming the relationship. Here are a series of techniques to practice as you prepare for your next "no" statement:
- Ask for clarification of the request to ensure you understand what it entails
- First and foremost, know here you stand on the issue
- Be as brief as possible without an elaborate explanation
- Actually use the word "no" in your response
- Match your non-verbal gestures with your verbal statements
- Say "I won't" or "I've decided not to" rather than "I can't"
- Repeating the your decline several times may be important before you are actually heard
- Use silence after your statement or change the topic of conversation immediately to send the message of how absolute you are of your answer.
Like any assertive skill, it takes practice to ensure others appreciate how this is becoming a professional characteristic that defines you. Respecting your time and the quality of your work is an important quality to observe in yourself. Enabling others to respect you for the same is doable once you ease it into your comfort zone

Nokia E72 coming to UK mobile network 3
UK mobile operator 3 has announced that they will start offering the Nokia E72 by May of this year. They would do it sooner, since they're already a bit late to releasing it under their network, but Sylvia from 3's Devices team comments: "…because of our late decision to range it we do need some time to configure it for our network."
By that, of course, she means making sure that Skype, Windows Live Messenger, and other integrated 3 network-related software and services work without problems.
The Nokia E72 will come in at 3 by strong popular demand, as shown by the comments the operator has received on their blog. Maybe it's the sleek metallic look. Or maybe even the new purple color. Whatever it is, people are definitely attracted to this Eseries winner.
Info about pricing and other details will come at a later date.

This review is dedicated to a real Disney Legend: Floyd Gottfredson, born in 1905 in Utah, created Mickey Mouse Comic strips for amazing 45.5 years! Actually, Walt wanted him to draw the strips just for two weeks - until he had found another artist. But nothing further was ever said about it and thus, we are happy to enjoy Gottfredson's cartoons today: With Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Classic Collection Fantagraphics Books published a must-have for everyone who's interested in early works of the Walt Disney Company!
|Front page Vol. 1 "Race to death valley"
Floyd's strips became very popular after his first adventure story "Mickey Mouse in death valley", which was published in the newspapers from April to September 1930. Afterwards, Mickey had to experience many precarious situations for a long time - but he already met his worst antagonists in the very first story: Pegleg Pete and Sylvester Shyster, two dubious characters who never stopped to make our pal's life harder.
After the first continuing strip, Gottfredson was responsible for many other stories; firstly both as artist and writer, after 1932 as a manager of the comic strip department. Under his control, the company published great strips like "Mr. Slicker and the egg robbers", "Traffic troubles", "Mickey Mouse vs. Kat Nipp" or "Circus Roustabout". But Gottfredson's name was never mentioned in the papers - all artists had to sign their panels with Walt's Signature to guarantee a consistent label, which was easy to recognize.
|Early Mickey-performance
Volume 1 contains several strips from April 1930 to January 1932 and in addition amazing background stories about Gottfredson and the historical context. Every strip begins with some information, which is very helpful to understand the story and its gags completely.
The most famous story is definitely the first one, because its success was trend-setting for the following adventure strips. In "Mickey Mouse in death valley", the strange lawyer Sylvester Shyster wants to buy a house Minnie inherited from her rich uncle; but an odd creature in disguise who calls himself "The Fox" advises Mickey to avoid the sale. So a strange journey begins, which is about to uncover some secrets about Shyster, "The Fox" and Minnie's heritage...
|Some romantic time with Minnie
The last chapter of Volume 1 is called "The Gottfredson Archives" and offers amazing articles about the "birth" of Mickey Mouse, bonus panels which were never published and different artists in the spotlight (such as Al Taliaferro and Jack King).
But luckily I can tell you that there are more books with Gottfredson's strips: "Race to death valley" marks just the beginning of a great line; Volume 2 is called "Trapped on Treasure Island" and contains masterpieces such as "Mickey Mouse sails for Treasure Island", "Blaggard Castle" (a definitely creepy one), "The mail pilot" and "Mickey Mouse and his horse Tanglefoot". Of course, Mickey meets Pete and Shyster again and has to illuminate their strange business. Again there is a chapter with incredible bonus material which informs about the villains, Floyd's colleagues and additional comic strips.
|Front page Vol. 2 "Trapped on Treasure Island"
Volumes 3 and 4 also depict great work of Gottfredson - but I will introduce them in detail in a following post. There are just two things left to say: Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Classic Collection is definitely worth to achieve a reservation in your book shelve and secondly, Floyd Gottfredson was deservedly named a Disney Legend in 2003 after his passing in 1986.
Panel 1 from "Mickey Mouse vs. Kat Nipp" (page 119), Panel 2 from "Mickey Mouse and the ransom plot" (page 178), both found in Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse: "Race to Death Valley", Fantagraphics Books, 2011

Facebook to Revamp Privacy Controls
Facebook on Wednesday announced it will simplify the settings that allow users to control who sees what content they share on the site, acknowledging that its existing privacy tools have grown unwieldy.
In a conference call and presentation with reporters, Facebook's chief privacy officer Chris Kelly and product manager Leah Pearlman said Facebook will in the coming weeks roll out a standard lock icon across various features of the social network. The lock–which could appear next to a prompt to upload a link or on a page that lets users edit their profile–will pull up the same standard options for setting who can see that content, including sharing the content with the public, friends or friends of friends.
"What we want now is for people to have a single privacy control they can learn to use wherever they are on the site," said Pearlman.
It's a change from Facebook's current approach, which requires users to sift through six pages of privacy settings to set who sees what in great detail. The new feature also enables Facebook users to share more content more publicly-–allowing them to publish a photo or note that would be visible to everyone on the Internet and not just someone's Facebook friends. As part of the move, the company will eliminate its practice of bucketing users into regional networks based on where they live-–a step it took in the past to help users manage their privacy. Pearlman said the feature was confusing and unnecessary given the new controls.
Facebook executives say the changes don't affect how they share data with advertisers. Pearlman said that the new measures are designed to ease "user-pain points" and aren't in reaction to pressure from regulators, who continue to question Facebook and other Internet companies about their privacy policies.
Indeed, Internet companies are increasingly on edge about threats regulators are making in the U.S. and abroad to more tightly control how companies collect data about their users and how they package it to advertisers. Kelly, who last month testified before House lawmakers about the topic, said Wednesday that Facebook's privacy policies are "well-received with regulators." He added, "By and large, we're in philosophical agreement that users should be in control."
How the changes will be received by the public remains unclear. In the past, Facebook members have often rebelled against changes to the company's privacy settings and options, in some cases prompting the startup to revisit them.
To facilitate this roll-out, Facebook is testing a "transition tool" that will explain the new settings to users whey they first log in and offer some suggestions for what they should choose based on how they have set their settings in the past. The company will start testing various versions of the tool publicly in the next week or so and aim to release it more widely later this month.

many of these mid-tier and lower-tier UFC guys have gone all-in for the sport. they train their asses off like few in any sport do and don't have remotely the kinds of guaranteed contracts and insurance that many others do. for most of them, they budget absolutely everything around a scheduled card, and the unseen dreadful elephant in the room is typically the issue of whetherr or not they have the terrible luck to get injured on their way to fight night. notwithstanding the fact that DFW always expects them to go hard and entertain the fans or ELSE. but dude, having a whole card canceled goes beyond any of that... it's unprecedented in UFC history and is a terrible blow for many of the individual fighters for many reasons, most of which revolve around budgeting money in a timely fashion. do you know what i mean?
anyway, these things tend to be the primary reasons why so many UFC fighters are pissed at jones right now. it's not some kind of mystery IME, but it's how people feel.
oh and BTW, re: your previous comments about edgar and fedor and all--
granted, i'll give you and brendo the first fight and i probably misspoke about that, so my apologies. on the other hand, i sincerely don't know what you're smoking to think that bendo came off better in the rematch if you're going by the body of people who actually watched the fight. starting with the UFC broadcast team to EVERY SINGLE fight coverage org i checked, from ESPN, BE, MMF, MMJ and anyone and everyone in-between, the body of experts and fellow fighters thought that EDGAR WON THE FIGHT, albeit very closely. i'll certify that as a fact as much as anything that you might ever ask me to guarantee. so i have absolutely no idea what data you're looking at, other than one fight-metric site in particular, i.e. fightmetric.com. which as i've pointed out to you before, is NOT the godfather of fight metric sites. which is also kind of irrelevant in this case, since the blows did come down to being virtually equal no matter what the stat site.
re: the fedor criticism,
after a certain point it's hard to know what a person is aiming for sometimes. i'm talking about you, here. i mean, one thing i've noticed is that a poster can agree with you 99% and yet you'll frequently jump in to point out the most microscopic of differences between the two of you. seriously, you seem to relish nitpicking the most trivial of differences, building these weird, elaborate posts in which you quote people sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, laboriously pointing out every single way in which that person is wrong and you're right.
so in the end, what is the point of debating anything with you? you're so fixated on telling people that they're wrong about something, anything, that it all tends to become irrelevant. so we're sitting here debating about how badly fedor lost the bigfoot fight.... was it by an inch? was it by a mile? doesn't some part of you concede the fact that there was a pattern going on? don't you get the idea that it was probably fedor's worst loss, ever, or can you go beyond your love of nitpicking and actually find one which was worse?
hey, jackass... don't get me wrong. you are definitely someone who knows their MMA shit in many ways and is definitely smarter than i am about certain MMA stuff. but i seriously don't get how and why you love to argue so much sometimes over the most microscopic of differences. it just gets kind of ridiculous sometimes IMO.

WOOLWORTHS will sack 200 Victorian truck drivers and outsource the work to trucking firm Linfox, in a move it says will bring its transport services into line with its other Australian stores. Affected drivers met on Wednesday at Woolworths' Mulgrave distribution centre to discuss a redundancy offer made by the company to hundreds of staff.
Woolworths media relations manager Benedict Brook said the company would try to find truck drivers new jobs within the business.
''Staff who are not redeployed will be offered a redundancy,'' she said. This would happen in April and May, she added.
''Victoria is the only state in Australia that operates a Woolworths owned and operated transport fleet,'' Ms Brook said. Elsewhere, Toll and Linfox operate trucks on its behalf.
Wayne Mader, Victorian branch secretary of the Transport Workers' Union, said it was ''anyone's guess'' what would happen if drivers could not reach a satisfactory agreement over redundancy payments.

(Current fiction & past quality fiction)
Examiner likes the way Dan Brown picks a bit of history (literary or whatever) and builds his novels around that tidbit. His latest novel, "Inferno" (Doubleday) could have sprung from a glance at Sparknotes. But he spent years digging, to his credit, to recreate this story in Brown's own trademark image.
Brown is a popular story weaver as evidenced in Albuquerque by the library's waiting list of 429 readers for its 79 copies. There are also five copies available in Spanish.
As his publisher puts it, in his international blockbusters "The Da Vinci Code," "Angels & Demons," and "The Lost Symbol," Dan Brown masterfully fused history, art, codes, and symbols. In this riveting new thriller, Brown returns to his element and has crafted his highest-stakes novel to date.
Now imagine you searched for the origin of these words, "Midway on our life's journey, I found myself in dark woods, the right road lost." Sound familiar? They open Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy," written in three books, of which "Inferno" is one.
Go immediately to Sparknotes to see what's up and you get this: "These famous lines, narrated by Dante, open Inferno and immediately establish the allegorical plane on which the story's meaning unfolds. The use of such potent words as "journey" and "right road" signifies the religious aspect of Dante's impending adventure and quickly notifies us that we are leaving the realm of the literal. Likewise, the image of being lost in "dark woods" sets up a clear dichotomy between the unenlightened ignorance involved in a lack of faith in God and the clear radiance provided by God's love. The simple contrast between the "dark woods," which embody Dante's fear, and the "right road," which embodies Dante's confidence in God, makes his challenge clear—he sets out to look for God in a sinful world."
Fast forward to the heart of Italy: Harvard professor of "symbology" Robert Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history's most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces . . . Dante's Inferno.
Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante's dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust . . . before the world is irrevocably altered.
Hope you enjoy unraveling this latest Dan Brown tale. Everyone recommends it.

The Kansas Court of Appeals says marijuana that someone obtained legally in another state is still illegal in Kansas.
The ruling comes in the case of a Colorado man who was stopped in Kansas with medical marijuana he was legally prescribed in his home state.
A Kansas judge acquitted the man of a misdemeanor charge of illegally possessing marijuana.
The state appealed the acquittal, leading to Friday's ruling that Kansas has the right to enforce its own drug laws even when marijuana was obtained legally elsewhere.

Peer Advisors and Mentors
The Peer Advisor/Peer Mentor Program provides support to help new students transition into college life through individual and small group interactions with a peer leader. New students who are undecided about their major are assigned to a Peer Advisor that can help provide direction to many of the new situations and responsibilities. Peer Advisors help new students understand the purpose and importance of general education and ECCE requirements. Students who have decided about a major are assigned a Peer Mentor who helps guide appropriate decision-making about courses and career paths related to that major.
Peer Advisors and Mentors also help in the social and emotional adjustments to being away from home, and successfully managing the multiple demands of college life.
For more information about becoming a Peer Advisor or Mentor, or to be matched to a Peer Advisor or Mentor, contact the Undergraduate Academic Advising Center.

Gerard Depardieu Pees in Plane Aisle
French movie star Gerard Depardieu doesn't take "non," especially when he has to make "Oui, Oui."
Last night, Depardieu was on a CityJet plane bound from Paris to Dublin when he was told during a delay on the tarmac that he needed to wait until takeoff before using the bathroom.
Apparently, the star didn't feel like waiting, and instead just urinated in the plane's aisle in front of his fellow passengers.
The jet then returned to the gate, where it was cleaned for two hours.
This morning, CityJet tweeted, "As you may have seen on the news, we are busy mopping the floor of one of our planes this morning… We'd also like to remind all passengers that our planes are fully equipped with toilet facilities."
No word yet, what (if any) action will be taken against Depardieu.

A thrill is going up my leg.
The hairs are standing up on the back of my neck.
My palms are sweaty; my eyes are glazed.

A couple of weeks ago I posted an article outlining my vision for the future of Enterprise IT. Today that vision took a minor step towards reality, with Ubuntu for Android.
I had previously predicted that smartphones would soon become the singular computing device for all users, covering both mobile and the traditional desktop needs. It would appear Cononical agrees with me (spookily, as it is almost word for word) as today they announced their aim to bring Ubuntu (Linux Operating System) to Android. The following statement was released on their website (which I couldn't have said better myself):
"Why carry two devices, when you could carry only one? Your next high-end smartphone has far more horsepower than you'll need on a phone, and more than enough for a laptop. So we've brought Android together with Ubuntu, the world's favourite free operating system, to give you a full productivity desktop that fits in your pocket. Android for the phone experience, Ubuntu for the desktop, all on one device, running at the same time.
So forget the office PC. Just dock your corporate phone and enjoy Ubuntu. Anywhere. One address book. One set of bookmarks. One place for your text messages and email. No more typing on a tiny screen when all you want is a keyboard and a mouse. Seamless integration of your desktop and mobile worlds. Brilliant."
I'm obviously 100% behind this vision and can't wait to try out Ubuntu from my mobile, however I believe the strategy will only succeed if it is backed by a giant such as Microsoft or Apple. Thankfully it looks like Windows 8 is heading in this direction, with a single operating system core for mobile and traditional PC and a user interface that can adapt to either scenario. The only remaining question is, will Microsoft create an experience that meets both needs or will their "touch first" strategy alienate the traditional desktop users.
2012 gearing up to be a very interesting year for technology!

I've never seen one episode of any of Bravo's Housewives shows… but I plan to tune in for the Housewives of DC. I'm amazed at how much backlash the gals/show is getting before it even airs. Come on people this is entertainment. You know what the Housewives franchise is all about.. so there's no need to act surprised. In all reality it's kinda neat we'll get to see some familar faces and places on the small screen. For those who say these ladies are far from 'Real' … C'mon. Gimme a break. They're real people who really live in the metro area (how many of you Virginians out there say 'DC' when outsiders ask you where you're from?!?). I found out they also have human kids too. All of this hype and hate has me mumbling a phrase I've used often in the newsroom over the years: 'It's just TV'
Defending the Housewives of DC (Video)
Watch Housewives of DC Trailer Below. Show airs Aug 5th 9pm on Bravo
2 Responses to "Defending the Housewives of DC (Video)"
All the Housewife shows have a couple of posers or unbearable beasts in the mix, no reason for us to think this will be any different! We're aware it's television/entertainment. But something always comes out about these people that tells something they left out or show what they're REALLY about (nothing in some cases). We're entertained by the fact that people think themselves more than what they portray on these shows and that's why we watch, to figure out the posers and cheer with glee when the resident bitch of the cast gets put on blast later in the papers!
Yeah, entertainment indeed!
i don't watch any of them eithe angie but do plan to tune in for a few episodes of the dc show…i think it will be cool, especially since i got to meet michaela at the metromix halloween party last year!

Congratulations to Damiana_Designs! Her Scaly Scarf Dress blew away the judges and has won her a brand new activa 210 sewing machine from BERNINA! We would also like to congratulate our runners up: Scarf Dress Ruffled by Pltnmblondelife and Scarf Dress by javiertellez.
As you may have noticed, the voting on several of the entries became unethically compromised by a few of the contestants; and because of this we were forced to choose the winner a different way. Therefore, an esteemed panel of judges from BERNINA sifted through all of the entries, narrowed it down to the top five contestants, and chose the grand prize winner!
Thank you, to everyone, for all of your amazing entries and we look forward to seeing more of your creative work in the future!
Happy Sewing!

Next Tuesday, January 21st 2014, Warner Bros Home Entertainment will be releasing a Target-exclusive DVD animated feature JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time. The exclusive DVD-only release will only be available at all American Target locations starting next week. No update on whether the movie will be available for digital release, or if it will be sold through other retailers.
JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time has been given no promotion and limited availability due to its intended target audience. Warner Bros. Entertainment has not provided any official details like what special features will be available on the DVD. What we do know is JLA Adventures: Trapped in time features the Justice League squaring off against the classic Legion of Doom.The film's producer Giancarlo Volpe, did provide some other information via social media:
With a runtime of roughly 52 minutes, Volpe called the animated feature an "all-new adventure, featuring the Justice League and the Legion of Doom, plus a couple curve balls." Volpe added that JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time is a stand-alone feature, but "in my head canon it could hook up to Green Lantern: The Animated Series."
The film includes the traditional Justice League line-up along with a few new additions, including Robin and Karate Kid. The voice cast for JLA Adventures: Trapped In Time includes: Grey DeLisle, Dante Basco, Jack DeSena, Diedrich Bader, and Jason Spisak, with the movie's score provided by Frederik Wiedmann
The studio has noted that if JLA Adventures: Trapped In Time is commercially successful through its exclusive Target "stealth release," it will eventually expand and be available at other retail outlets. However, that is a not a guarantee.

PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Sirius Resources has declared a maiden nickel/copper/cobalt resource at its virgin Nova discovery, in Western Australia.
The explorer said on Wednesday that the project was estimated to contain some 242 000 t of nickel, 100 000 t of copper and some 7 700 t of cobalt, from 10.2-million tons of ore, grading 2.4% nickel, 1% copper and 0.08% cobalt.
The mineral resource estimate exceeded expectations, the company said, and did not include the recently discovered Bollinger deposit, which was currently being drilled.
Despite the better-than-expected resource estimate, Sirius shares were down nearly 4% on Wednesday to trade at a low of A$3.86 a share.

Employment Opportunity: Executive Director Read More
It has been 20 years since the Conservation Districts began a conservation education position. Little did they realize that their commitment to conservation land use practices would grow into a movement! The education position has grown from a conservation poster contest, a handful of school visits and community outreach events to over 10,000 student visits a year, a variety of field trips for students and community members, a two - week teachers workshop, a kids camp, grazing and farming workshops, serving as an education voice on many boards, committees and educational programs and a Project Wet, Project Learning Tree and Food Land and People and local curriculum provider.
This change is due to partnership building, program planning and community buy in. When the education position became a 501 c 3 in 2009, the mission was the same as it has always been to provide quality informative education about conservation and the use of natural resources to San Luis Valley farmers, ranchers, landowners, community members and students.
As our population continues to increase, it becomes increasingly important that we continue to do as we have always done- support sustainability through the actions of sound resource management. It is essential that we begin to think differently as we look towards the future – we must ensure that we provide everyone with the experience to make informed decisions based on sound information, and not misaligned propaganda.
I am excited that the pendulum is swinging. There are more people seeing that resources are limited, and with technology advancing, we sit on a threshold of being able to effect true change. As more and more of our youth get outside, our educational community more and more willing to take part and our community and business alliances strengthening – I see great future ahead, thanks for being a part of it!
