IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa women's gymnastics team recorded its third-highest mark of the season (195.425) as it finished seventh at the 2012 Big Ten Championships. Competing alongside Michigan, Michigan State and Illinois in the first session, the GymHawks placed third as Michigan (195.875) held the lead halfway through the championships. Nebraska won the second session and its first Big Ten title with a score of 197.100. Iowa hosted nearly 3,000 gymnastics fans inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena between the two sessions.
"For us, competing at home was amazing," said Head Coach Larissa Libby. "It was definitely loud and what we have asked for all year long. We wanted our fans to understand that gymnastics is not a silent sport. The fans have value and a complete effect on what happens out there. They helped us to get through."
The GymHawks began the meet on bars where they posted a score of 48.825. Junior Emma Stevenson paced the Black and Gold with a score of 9.850. The Winfield, Ill., native tied for eighth place in the event. Senior Jessa Hansen recorded a 9.800 to finish tied for 17th as freshman Emma Willis tied for 24th with a 9.775. Sophomore and second-team Big Ten honoree Tesla Cox posted a 9.725 to finish tied for 34th.
"It's always good to start on an event that we're really good at," said Stevenson. "You start off well then you just have to keep rolling with the energy. Bars is a great event for us to start on. It was nice to start with a solid hit, and then keep it going onto beam."
Moving to beam in the second rotation, Iowa recorded a team mark of 48.325. Hansen led the way for the GymHawks, posting a score of 9.800 to tie for seventh. Cox and senior Annie Szatkowski each tallied a 9.725 apiece and took home a share of 20th place.
"It wasn't my best beam routine," said Hansen. "I had one balance check, but I kept fighting all the way through. I was just trying to do my job, and get a solid score for our team."
Iowa competed on floor in the third rotation, earning a 49.000 that would stand as the fourth-best team mark in the event. Stevenson shone with a 9.875 that earned her a share of second place. Her mark remained in first place midway through the second session's third rotation until Nebraska's final three competitors recorded a 9.900 apiece. With help from her floor performance, Stevenson was named to the 2012 Big Ten All-Championships Team.
"Emma Stevenson, she's been amazing all year long," said Libby. "She's carried us the whole season, and she has done it without complaint or stress. I'm glad to see her rewarded."
Hansen and Willis took home a share of 14th place with a score of 9.825 apiece as freshman Miranda Meyer earned a 9.750 to tie for 28th. Additionally, senior Rachel Corcoran tied for 33rd with a score of 9.725.
The GymHawks finished the championships on vault where they posted a 49.275, topping their previous season high by two-tenths of a point. They finished fourth in the team race as three gymnasts tied or set career marks. Stevenson and junior Maya Wickus each scored a 9.875 and tied for 10th place. Stevenson's mark tied a career high as Wickus matched her season best. Corcoran, along with freshman Sydney Hoerr, tied for 15th with a score of 9.850. Both student-athletes set career marks with their performances. Additionally, Willis tied for 27th with a 9.825 and Hansen finished tied for 37th with a 9.775.
"We're never done until the last person lands, so to make vault our best event says we're mentally tough and we won't give up no matter where we stand," said Hansen. "We finished the meet out, and we're proud of it."
Iowa's two all-around competitors, Hansen and Willis, finished tied for 10th and tied for 15th, respectively. Hansen recorded a 39.200 as Willis posted a career high of 39.075.
"I told my team at the end that I've never been more proud," said Libby. "They're a championship quality team. One more kid up and they're hanging with the best. We're going to qualify for the postseason. We're going to qualify to the first round of the national tournament, and how many people can say that? I feel good about where we are."
After all conference championships are complete, 36 teams in Division I women's gymnastics will be selected to compete throughout six different regional sites, fighting for a berth in the NCAA Championship. Regional competitions will be held April 7.

As some of you may know, Harvard Square recently said goodbye to Tommy Doyle's Irish Pub—an institution of nine years that was forced to close due to rising rent. Its tri-floored layout made it accessible to a plethora of recreational exploits, and one in particular had caught the attention of this observer.
Wu-Tang Wednesday has become a cult classic in the Square (a genealogy of its history and intrigue can be found here), and although it called the basement of Tommy Doyle's its home, Wu-Tang Wednesday did not share the same fate as its host. The hip-hop phenomenon has moved a few hundred feet to Charlie's Kitchen and continues to thrive, proving that, just as clothes do not make the man, the pub does not encapsulate the enigmatic fascination of the Wu—the Wu shall live on.
This Wednesday's edition of the Wu will feature a special guest, Boy Jones—aka Young Dirty Bastard, aka the son of Ol' Dirty Bastard. And for all of you ill versed in the gospel of the Wu, the late ODB was perhaps the clan's most eccentric and notorious member. It doesn't even need to be said: this is going to be an event. Don't miss out friends.

Untouchable. That is what President Obama believes that he is. If you've seen the movie "The Untouchables" that chronicles the days of Al Capone in Obama's hometown of Chicago, then you will totally get this. Capone broke every law in the book, yet still viewed himself as untouchable. After all, he had law enforcement agents, attorneys, even judges bought and paid for. They towed the line and Capone beat the rap over and over again for crime after crime. Until, that is, a certain tax agent named Elliot Ness entered the picture. He was relentless in his pursuit of Capone and, when one of his men was murdered, the killer scrawled the word "Touchable" in blood on the wall.
The self perceived 'untouchable' Obama Regime has blood on their hands. They have the blood of the four men, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, on their hands since they sat back and did nothing while the torturous massacre at Benghazi occurred. They have the blood of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and the hundreds of Mexican citizens killed by individuals wielding guns from the botched gun running Operation Fast and Furious on their hands. They have the blood of all those who were killed during the shooting initiated by the Muslim serviceman Nidal Malik Hasan who is still not prosecuted under Eric Holder's Department of (In) Justice. The fact that the Obama Regime refuses to answer questions surrounding these avoidable, tragic situations is an insult to the American people and those victims who died in these incidents.
Couple all of these outrageous incidents with Obama's blatant overreach, with his royal decrees that undermine the Constitution, and with his release of thousands of illegal immigrants recently under the guise of budget cuts due to the sequester, and his actions are not simply infuriating, they are impeachable. Add in his thuggish threatening of journalists Bob Woodward, Lanny Davis, and a reporter with the National Journal and we have a presidency ripe for the investigation of a special prosecutor!
If Barack Obama were a Republican, there would be cries from the media for impeachment and removal from office. But, he is the 'chosen, Imperial President' so the state run media is silent. WE ARE NOT! Today, we call for a special prosecutor to investigate his unconstitutional actions of a man who swore to uphold and protect the Constitution, who works instead to undermine it every day!

St. Johns County property owners should do some homework before handing large sums of money to a contractor.
Gerard Smith of Stonegate -- a victim of a contractor who did not finish a job at his house -- said he always believed, "This is a word-of-mouth town. You live and die by your reputation."
He is a roofing contractor himself and says he always responds to customer complaints.
However, believing in a handshake cost Smith at least $2,000 last year when he contracted for a back yard pool and ended up doing much of the work himself. He had trusted a contractor who had installed his neighbor's pool.
Later, Smith learned that this contractor had multiple complaints filed against him.
Ramona Zavacky, supervisor of licensing, said that to help avoid a home horror, buyers should:
1. Check a contractor's county and state licenses.
You can verify that a license is current by calling (850)487-1395 or visiting www.MyFloridaLicense.com .
2. Get two or three competitive bids. If one is much lower than the others, ask questions. That's not a good sign.
3. Make sure your contractor has Workman's Compensation and liability insurance. It's the law and an accident on the job site could cost you the house in a lawsuit.
4. Always get a contract in writing, and always have a beginning and ending date included.
5. Spell out how the money will be disbursed. Don't pay it all up front.
6. Ask if a permit is required and then ask to see it. If they give you an excuse like it's been delayed, don't let them start the project.
7. Call the county and have someone verify the permit and disclose if the contractor or the company has complaints filed against them.
8. Don't let your guard down because you are in the same church, day care, golf foursome, hunting club or neighborhood with a contractor.
Zavacky said, "People just trust people, and that's a good thing. But when you hire someone, that's a contract, not a friendship."
Terrance Forgie of St. Augustine Shores pushed to hire a contractor who eventually left the job half done.
"We probably should have done more homework than we did," Forgie said. "One of our neighbors also used the same guy and they had a nightmare, losing even more than we did."
Deputy Building Official Howard T. White said people often jump into large contracts without doing any homework.
"They spend months trying to buy a car and two minutes talking to a pool contractor, and both cost about the same," White said.

Yao's garbled circuit
From CRYPTUTOR
Yao's garbled circuit is a method Proposed by Andy Yao in 1986 for Secure multiparty computation. This is a two party protocol. This protocol is only secure against an adversary from the Honest-but-curious adversary model.
First assume we are dealing with the two party case. At a high level the scheme is as follows: Bob creates a "garbled circuit", and sends the circuit to Alice. Alice evaluates the circuit with her inputs and returns the result to Bob. The result of the circuit evaluation with Alice's inputs is the output of the function Alice and Bob wish to compute. Note that Bob does not send his inputs to Alice, instead his inputs are encoded into the "garbled circuit" such that Alice can not determine what they are.
An example
- Initial Setup
- Alice has x = 2 bits, (a,b)
- Bob as y = 2 bits, (c,d)
- Construction of the garbled circuit
- for each gate in the circuit, construct a new truth table for each gate. A sample truth table below is an AND gate, with inputs p, q and output z.
- construct output decryption tables consisting of the pairs and for an output z.
- Evaluation
- After Alice has received the circuit and corresponding truth tables, she needs Bob's inputs before she can evaluate the circuit.
- For Alice to get these values, use a 1-out-of-2 Oblivious transfer protocol.
- Once Alice has the input values from Bob, she can "decrypt" each of the gates, and using her inputs evaluate the circuit.

Click here for part one of the season review, focusing on the pitching staff.
While the Isotopes did struggle on the mound, their lineup was at times quite impressive. The problem was the best lineup was only on the field late in the year and by then it was too late.
Albuquerque never had a true leadoff hitter throughout the year, leaving the middle of the order up without anyone on base far too often. Meanwhile, the struggles against left-handed pitching continued throughout the year.
There were some positive individual performances. Catcher Tim Federowicz (.328/.383/.555, 14 HR, 48 RBI) hit well on the road and threw out nearly 50 percent of baserunners.
First baseman Clint Robinson (.312/.401/.534, 18 HR, 80 RBI) and third baseman Jamie Romak (.280/.335/.538, 24 HR, 85 RBI) both played well enough to earn brief call-ups to Los Angeles. The late-season addition of first baseman-outfielder Brock Peterson (.387/.457/.671, 9 HR, 36 RBI) also provided an offensive boost.
Outfield prospect Joc Pederson (.303/.435/.582, 33 HR, 78 RBI, 30 stolen bases) lived up to expectations in winning PCL MVP honors. Though he could be a little temperamental at times and his throws from center field were not always accurate, Pederson was a force both offensively and defensively.
He did strike out a lot (149 times in 445 at-bats) but he also set an Isotopes record with 100 walks. Pederson's 30-30 campaign was the first in the modern era of the PCL and the first in the league since Frank Demaree in 1934.
"I realized how many years 80 really is, how it's the only one in the modern era, it's crazy," Pederson said. "I guess it's a huge accomplishment and Iim humbled to be able to do something like that during the year."
As for the other outfielders, Mike Baxter (.289/.365/.439, 7 HR, 36 RBI, 12 stolen bases) quietly had a good year. Trayvon Robinson (.235/.298/.348, 6 HR, 30 RBI, 11 stolen bases) struggled in his return to Albuquerque, where he last played in 2011.
The middle infield was a mishmash of players due to injuries and Dodgers call-ups. Carlos Triunfel (.223/.256/.330, 4 HR, 40 RBI) scuffled while Walter Ibarra (.269/.301/.346, 5 HR, 32 RBI) was at least solid in the field.
Cuban defector Alex Guerrero (.329/.364/.613, 15 HR, 49 RBI) got off to an amazing start offensively before he was involved in the year's strangest and scariest incident. During a game in Salt Lake in June, Guerrero was attacked by then-teammate Miguel Olivo, who bit off part of Guerrero's left ear and sent him to the disabled list for nearly two months.
The other Cuban defector, Erisbel Arruebarrena (.333/.400/.452) hit surprisingly well in a short stint with Albuquerque and played good defense, but was also the instigator in the second darkest incident of the year. During a game at Reno, Arruebarrena started an ugly benches-clearing brawl that led to multiple Isotopes being suspended.
"That weighs on a team when you try to get some momentum going and as soon as somebody plays well they're gone," Clint Robinson said. "The injuries and the ear biting threw a wrench in there. That's just baseball. You have good years and you have bad years. You've got to just do your job the best you can."
By the end of the year, even that story was overshadowed as the news broke from an Oklahoma newspaper that the Dodgers were planning to end their affiliation with Albuquerque and link up with the Oklahoma City RedHawks for 2015 and beyond. For now, it remains just a series of rumors and unnamed sources, but if the Dodgers do leave it will mark the end of an era.
"I love it here and I know the players love it here," Berryhill said. "As far as minor-league organizations go, they treat you really well and everything's top-notch. They do things right here, there's no question about it."
The Isotopes will next take the field on April 9, 2015, at home against Reno. What organization will be supplying their players remains to be seen.

Canonizer algorithm:
This section is a table of contents for this topic. It is in outline or tree form, with supporting sub camps indented from the parent camp. If you are in a sub camp, you are also counted in all parent camps including the agreement camp at the top. The numbers are canonized scores derived from the people in the camps based on your currently selected canonizer on the side bar. The camps are sorted according to these canonized scores. Each entry is a link to the camp page which can contain a statement of belief. The green line indicates the camp page you are currently on and the statement below is for that camp.
The goal of this Mind Experts canonizer algorithm (selectable on the side bar) is to be a rigorous quantitative measure of scientific consensus on topics about theories of mind. An example topic being this one on the best Theories of Conscoiusness.
This algorithm uses the survey data in the peer ranking Mind Experts topic where experts can rank each other resulting in a quantitative measure of expertise. When the Mind Experts algorithm is selected on that topic, the camp scores for each camp indicate the votes each expert has for any camp they support on any other topic.
Since this algorithm uses the data in the Mind Experts topic, it necessarily works differently on that topic than all other topics. This is because of the recursive self referential nature of what is being done in this case.
The current draft of this algorithm uses two passes. First it does a one person one vote pass to determine who the general population thinks are the experts. Then these experts are given the values for the first pas 'votes' based on this. These first pass votes are indicated for each of the experts supporting camps on the Mind Experts topic in the support section of that camp.
The second pass is achieved by totaling up all the votes of all experts in each camp resulting in the final camp score indicated next to each camp. These camp scores indicate how much of a vote each expert gets when they support any other camp at canonizer.com when this scientific consensus algorithm is selected.
There is also currently a significant reward being added to the first pass for experts that vote for more than only themselves. In other words, if an expert supports more than themselves on this topic, their top vote has more value than if they only vote for themselves.
As always, the code is open source so any request to examine the implementation are always granted. And anyone having ideas about possible ways to improve things are always accepted and recognized. Also, similar algorithms can be created for any field of expertise, as they are needed or requested.
Supporters can delegate their support to others. Direct supporters receive e-mail notifications of proposed camp changes, while delegated supporters dont. People delegating their support to others are shown below and indented from their delegates in an outline form. If a delegate changes camp, everyone delegating their support to them will change camps with them.

Child custody proceedings can be extremely contentious because both parents generally believe they're trying to do what's best for their children. Each state has its own set of laws covering the standards under which custody is granted, the procedure for filing for custody, and the circumstances under which sole or joint custody is appropriate. If you wish to seek custody of your children, consider hiring a family lawyer who can help you navigate the often complex family law system.
Types of Custody
There is a distinction in the law between physical and legal custody. Physical custody represents the personal time each parent spends with the child. Joint physical custody arrangements, for example, typically grant parents equal time with the child. Legal custody is the authority to make decisions regarding the child. In sole legal custody arrangements, one parent has final authority, while in joint legal custody arrangements, parents must make decisions together.
Best Interests Standard
All states use the "best interests of the child" to determine child custody and visitation. Some states allow judges substantial freedom to determine what factors should be considered, while others outline specific criteria a judges must consider. Some common considerations include the attachment between the child and her parents, each parent's skill as a parent, the child's adjustment to her environment, each parent's ability to help the child maintain a relationship with the other parent, and the desires of the child.
Abuse and Addiction
In most states, there is a rebuttable presumption that a parent with a history of domestic violence, child abuse or drug dependency is an unfit parent. Judges assume that it is not in the best interests of the child for these parents to have decision-making authority. However, they may still receive visitation; visitation may be supervised or unsupervised depending on the specific circumstances of the case. If a parent has sought treatment for mental health problems, he may be able to argue that it is now in the child's best interests for him to be granted custody or visitation.
Child Experts
Most states use child experts in some custody cases. Guardians ad litem are people — usually attorneys — who are appointed by the judge to investigate a custody case, file a report and file motions on behalf of the child. Their sole job is to represent the best interests of the child, even if the child's best interests conflict with what the child wants. Court-appointed special advocates — volunteers who are often social workers or psychologists — often advocate for children in divorce cases involving abuse or the foster care system. In custody hearings, both parents may appoint expert witnesses, such as psychologists or therapists, while judges may appoint child experts to present reports on the psychological health of the child and both parents.
Until recently, many states gave mothers preference in custody hearings. Some states, such as Tennessee, used the "tender years" doctrine until the late 1990s. This doctrine stated that, unless a mother is declared unfit, she should have custody of babies and very young children. Many states, however, now have gender-neutral custody laws that explicitly state both parents have equal rights to their children.

TUCSON, Ariz. -
Despite a historic night by senior Davellyn Whyte (Phoenix, Ariz.), the Arizona women's basketball team (12-14, 4-11) fell to Arizona State (12-15, 4-11), 81-77, in double overtime, at McKale Center on Tuesday night.
Whyte had 31 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists for the program's first triple-double since its inception.
"It was a great game for her at a statistical standpoint but I'm sure she would rather have a win than a triple-double," Arizona head coach Niya Butts said. "We can't say enough about what she did. Obviously, she made plays in there, but as a team we didn't do what we needed to do, but it's definitely great for her."
Juniors Erica Barnes (Sacramento, Calif.), Carissa Crutchfield (Ft. Gibson, Okla.) also scored in double-digits as Barnes and Gloyd had 12 and Crutchfield added 10.
As a team, the Wildcats outscored ASU in the paint, scored 21 points off of 17 Sun Devil turnovers and scored 14 fast break points to Arizona State's eight.
ASU started the game with a 4-0 run and followed it up with a 6-0 run to take an eight-point lead early in the first half, but Arizona kept it close throughout. Whyte had 13 points, six rebounds, three assists and one only one turnover, but the Sun Devils went in to the locker room with a 35-31 advantage.
In the second half, the Wildcats erased a five-point deficit and fueled a 9-0 run to take a five-point lead of their own early in the half. Arizona State responded with an 11-0 run of its own to take a six-point lead, but UA would not fold. With 25 seconds left in the game, Arizona had a defensive stop to hold ASU scoreless and put the game into overtime.
The Sun Devils scored the first four points in the first overtime, but the Wildcats responded with a 6-0 run to give UA a two-point advantage. ASU responded, but freshman Keyahndra Cannon (San Diego, Calif.) made two free throws to give Arizona the lead once again. ASU shot back to tie the game at 71 and push the game into double overtime.
In double overtime, the teams traded points, but Arizona State outscored the Wildcats, 4-0 in the final minute and took the game, 81-77.
"This is a tough one to swallow," Butts said. "We made some plays, but it wasn't enough to get the win tonight. I give credit to them for playing down the stretch to beat us."
The Wildcats will look to take revenge on the Sun Devils on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 1 p.m. in Tempe, Ariz.

Coach Butts Quotes
On getting back into the game after being down:
"You're never pleased when you don't win, but we were able to get back into it. We should have been able to make a couple more stops than we did, but we let them have their way with us. We should have more of an effect defensively, but they made a lot of shots on us."
Senior guard Davellyn Whyte
On getting the first triple-double in Arizona history:
"It's hard to celebrate that after a loss. The only stat I see right now is the L. Maybe when we go up there and play them again it will happen again, but this is my last chance to play them on that court."
On the difference between regulation and overtime:
"We just had to tighten up, people were getting tired. We made a lot of mental mistakes; I think they were more physically tired than us. We just have to focus."
On playing 50 minutes:
"My adrenaline was so high that I didn't know how many minutes I had under my belt."
Junior forward Erica Barnes
On coming back after the early deficit:
"Pulling together, we knew we wanted to win, we came together."

"The committee had an incredibly difficult task in narrowing down the nation's top 30 women's players," said Mike Solum, Director of the Wooden Award. "This list represents the elite of college basketball, and our entire team at the Wooden Award is excited to see the best players in the nation prove their case as basketball's player of the year."
A 6-5 junior, Polk is a two-time Kodak honorable mention All-American, a two-time first team All-Pac-10 selection and a seven-time Pac-10 Player of the Week. She is Arizona's career leader with 37 double-doubles, is first on the UA career list in rebounding average (10.5 rpg), third in scoring average (17.0 ppg), fourth in rebounds (674), seventh in minutes-played average (29.5 mpg), sixth in total field goals made (448), eighth in free throws attempted (340) and 10th in total points (1087).

Created in 1976, the John R. Wooden Award is the most prestigious individual honor in college basketball. It is bestowed upon the nation's best player at an institution of higher education who has proven to his/her university that he/she is making progress toward graduation and maintaining a cumulative 2.0 GPA. Previous winners include such notables as Michael Jordan ('84), Larry Bird ('79), Tim Duncan ('97) and last year's inaugural women's recipient, Alana Beard ('04).
In mid-January, the Wooden Award Committee will release the Midseason Top 20 List, followed in March by the official voting ballot, consisting of the top 10-15 players who have proven to their universities that they are also making progress toward graduation and maintaining a cumulative 2.0 GPA. The 2005 Award ceremony, which will include the presentation of the Men's and Women's Wooden Award, the Wooden Award All-American Teams and the Legends of Coaching Award, will be held at The Los Angeles Athletic Club on April 9, 2005 and will be broadcast live on a national CBS telecast.

For cancer survivors in Orange County, the "circle" has never been stronger.
Approximately $900,000 was raised recently when Hoag Hospital hosted its annual Circle 1000 Founders' Celebration Brunch. Critically acclaimed actress and best-selling author, Jamie Lee Curtis, was the keynote speaker at the April 28 event. Styling a short neon pink wig, Curtis paid tribute to her friend, Katie Westbrook, a 10-year-old girl who died of cancer in 2001.
"By wearing this wig, I am representing every human being who is fighting for their lives," said Curtis, whose speech left guests with a sense of inspiration and empowerment. "In this case, it was a young girl fighting for her life. I'm wearing it to remember her courage, her spirit and her energy. She was extraordinary."
The Circle 1000, which supports the Hoag Family Cancer Institute and was founded in 1987, has raised more than $14.4 million in its 26-year history. Newport Beach resident and breast cancer survivor, Sandy Sewell, started the group by asking friends to contribute a minimum of $1,000 annually, and then each were tasked with asking their own circle of friends to participate. The Circle 1000 has now expanded to more than 1,000 friends.

Denver Broncos cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie enjoys Richard Sherman, but is not ready to give him the status of elite. According to USA TODAY Sports on Jan. 28, Rodgers-Cromartie says the status of elite still belongs to those who have paved the way.
There is no doubt that the Seattle Seahawks cornerback is talent and doesn't lack confidence in himself or his ability, but according to Rodgers-Cromartie, the all-pro cornerback just has to wait his turn. Rodgers-Cromartie told reporters:
"As far as being the best, I wouldn't say that. As long as you got a Champ Bailey, an Asante Samuel, a Charles Woodson in the (league), you can't say you're the best."
Although all three who Rodgers-Cromartie named are on the down side of their careers, the Broncos corner said its just about respecting the hard work, dedication and time they have put in at the position as they have "paved the way" for himself and for Richard Sherman.
Rodgers-Cromartie's comments may be used by Sherman as motivation, but its not due to a lack of respect. Rodgers-Cromartie is just not overly impressed and not willing to give just one guy credit for a No. 1 defense.
"He's a guy that's been playing well. They got the No. 1 defense. He's just made the play at the end of the game."
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie will have his own hands full if he draws the responsibility of covering Seahawks receiver Percy Harvin.

ExxonMobil Internship
It's not necessarily the oil standard, but Exxon Mobil is one of the world's largest integrated oil companies (with Royal Dutch Shell and BP). Exxon Mobil engages in oil and gas exploration, production, supply, transportation, and marketing. In 2014 it had proved reserves of 25.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent, including major holdings in oil sands through Imperial Oil. Exxon Mobil's 30 refineries in 17 countries have a throughput capacity of 5.2 million barrels per day and lubricant basestock manufacturing capacity of 131,000 barrels per day. It supplies refined products to more than 19,000 gas stations worldwide (including almost 10,000 in the US). Exxon Mobil is also a major petrochemical producer.
Geographic Reach
With assets in 100 countries the company has major operations in Abu Dhabi, Angola, Australia Canada, Equatorial Guinea, Malaysia, Nigeria, Norway, Qatar, Russia, the UK, and the US.
In 2014 the US accounted for 38% of Exxon Mobil's total revenues.
Exxon Mobil is primarily engaged in oil and gas exploration and production, natural gas marketing, and refining operations in North America; natural gas exploration, production and distribution, and downstream operations in Europe; and exploration, production, liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations, refining operations, petrochemical manufacturing, and fuel sales in Asia. It also had several refining, petrochemical manufacturing, and marketing ventures.
In addition to it conventional exploration, production, and refining activities, Exxon Mobil holds 69.6% of Imperial Oil, which owns 25% of the Syncrude joint venture, which extracts crude bitumen from Alberta's oil sands and upgrades it to produce a synthetic crude oil.
Through ExxonMobil Chemical, the company also develops and sells petrochemicals (including ethylene, propylene, and their derivatives, which make up the base of most other petrochemicals and plastics). Another unit mines coal and other minerals. Exxon Mobil also has stakes in electric power plants in China.
The company's downstream segment (refining and marketing) accounted for 81% of its total revenues in 2014.
Sales and Marketing
Exxon Mobil's fuels and lubes marketing businesses have significant global reach, with multiple channels to market serving a diverse customer base. It brands includes Exxon, Mobil, Esso, and Mobil 1.
Financial Performance
Exxon Mobil's net revenues have declined year-over-year over the past few years. The company's revenues decreased by 6% in 2014 due to higher gas prices, partially offset by lower liquids prices and lower production volume. Oil production was down 4.9%, while natural gas production decreased by 691 millions of cubic feet per day. Chemicals segment revenues declined due to lower volumes.Net income eked out a 0.2% gain in 2014.
Earnings from Upstream increased due to favorable volume effects. US Upstream operations reported higher net income while non-US Upstream operations reported a decline.
Downstream earnings decreased due to lower margins. Higher volume and mix effects increased were partially offset by lower expenses.
Chemical net income rose in the US and globally, thanks to higher commodity prices.In 2014 cash provided by operating activities increased. The major source of funds was net income including noncontrolling interests of $33.6 billion, an increase of $0.2 billion. The noncash provision for depreciation and depletion was $17.3 billion, up $0.1 billion from the prior year. The adjustment for net gains on asset sales was $3.2 billion compared to an adjustment of $1.8 billion in 2013. Changes in operational working capital, excluding cash and debt, lowered cash in 2014 by $4.9 billion.
Exxon Mobil's business model includes organic growth, complementary acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and joint ventures. In response to global rising energy demand the company in investing in developing energy-efficient and lower-emission fuels, technologies and practices to help significantly reduce energy consumption and emissions. In response to market demand for cleaner fuels, Exxon Mobil is investing more than $1 billion in three refineries (Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Baytown, Texas; and Antwerp, Belgium) to increase the supply of cleaner burning diesel by about 6 million gallons per day.
Exxon Mobil is also investing heavily in deepwater exploration (in water depths greater than 1,350 feet).
On the cost management side, in 2015 the company agreed to sell its troubled Southern California refinery for $537 million. The refinery had been shut down since a February explosion that injured four contractors.
In 2014 Exxon Mobil began construction of a major expansion at Texas facilities, including a new world-scale ethane cracker and polyethylene lines, to capitalize on low-cost feedstock and energy supplies in North America and meet rapidly growing demand for premium polymers.That year Exxon Mobil and working interest owners invested more than $2.6 billion in the development of Point Thomson as a key part in unlocking Alaska's North Slope gas resources.In 2013 Exxon Mobil started up the Singapore Chemical Expansion Project (the company's largest integrated petrochemical complex), more than doubling steam‑cracking capacity at the site and significantly increasing premium and specialty products capacity. Singapore is now Exxon Mobil's largest integrated petrochemical complex.That year Exxon Mobil opened its new Asia Pacific Signum Laboratory in Shanghai, the company's first in the Asia/Pacific region to provide customers direct access to high quality oil analysis to help improve their equipment performance. The new Signum Laboratory at the Shanghai Technology Center extends Exxon Mobil's technology footprint in China and the region and enables it to better support customers.In 2013 Rosneft and Exxon Mobil agreed to expand their cooperation under their 2011 Strategic Cooperation Agreement to include an additional 150 million acres of exploration acreage in the Russian Arctic and potential participation by Rosneft in the Point Thomson project in Alaska. They also agreed to conduct a joint study on a potential LNG project in the Russian Far East. (In 2011 Exxon Mobil agreed to spend $1 billion in a joint venture with Rosneft to jointly explore oil and gas fields in the Black Sea.). However, US economic sanctions on Russia in 2014 forced the company to suspend its operations in the Arctic with Rosneft.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In 2013 Exxon Mobil acquired Canada's Celtic Exploration for about about $2.5 billion, Exxon Mobil's largest transaction since it bought Texas' XTO Energy for a whopping $41 billion in 2010. The Celtic deal gives Exxon 545,000 net acres in the liquids-rich Montney shale, 104,000 net acres in the Duvernay shale, and other acreage in Alberta.

- Click on your iPod's name under 'Devices' on the left hand side of the iTunes interface.
- Click on the 'Summary' tab and under 'Options', make sure you have checked the 'Manually manage music' check box.
- Click the arrow to left of your iPod device to expand the contents view. The list expands to display the 'Music' and 'Books' categories on your iPod.
- Select 'Music' or 'Books' (depending on the title), and select the titles you want to delete and press the 'delete' key on your keyboard.
- Once you have deleted your tiles, safely remove your iPod by clicking the 'eject' button to right of your 'iPod's name'.
delete books from ipod touch
call apple support. fantastic service.
i cleared my ipod in less than five minutes.
Deleting an audiobook
I can't tell you how much I appreciate something that I read today on this page. I've been searching, spending hours trying to figure out why suddendly my audiobooks on my iPod were not visible. Little did I know that I could click on the arrow next to device and there they are... how simple... what a lot of time I wasted today Thank you so much.
Removing Audiobooks from iPod
I found the answer to my earlier question on an overdrive website. When I expanded "device," the titles of the audiobooks appeared separately and I hit delete. But what I didn't realize was that they also appeared under Books and needed to be deleted there also.
REmoving Audiobook from iPod Touch
I followed the instructions given here, but the audiobooks downloaded from my library via OverDrive are still on the iPod. They disappeared from the expanded device list in iTunes on my desktop computer, but they didn't disappear from the iPod. Do you have any further suggestions?
Slide and delete on the title on your ipod.
Slide and delete the title on the ipod. All the research to fix this annoying problem. There is a you-tube video on it. It has nothing to do with your iTunes on your computer. Simply take your finger and swipe from left to right on title of the book on your ipod and it should give you a DELETE in red. tap delete and it takes the title off the ipod.
Unable to delete audio books from an iPod Touch
The newer iTunes doesn't allow me to access my iPod like before. It wants to hijack me into the iTunes world and "sync" everything (meaning take over). Any work arounds before I run out of memory with audiobooks I can't delete?
Deleting WMA Audiobooks from iPod through iTunes
As of iTunes 11.1.3 (8)
1. Under "View" in the top Menu Bar choose "Show Sidebar" (don't know why this isn't shown by default)
2. When device is connected it will be listed under "Devices" in the now visible Sidebar.
3. Expand the contents on the device by clicking the little arrow left of the device name.
4. To delete an entire audiobook, you can right click it in the Sidebar list and choose "Delete" (or choose it and hit the Delete key)
5. To delete specific chapters of an audiobook, you can choose "Audiobooks" from the Sidebar and they will all be listed in the main panel for you to manage.
Pro-Tip - You can use this same method to play the Audiobooks on your computer from iTunes instead of the Overdrive Console Software (or on a Mac where the Overdrive Console doesn't allow for WMA files)
Two Clarifications
- I was using a Mac to write up these instructions originally. For Windows (specifically Windows 8) the Menu Bar does not show by default either. You can unhide the Menu Bar from the drop down menu in the very top left corner (or use Ctrl+B) and then follow Step 1 above. Or you can just use Ctrl+S to unhide the Sidebar.
- I was incorrect about Step 4 above. If you delete the listing of the audiobook from the Sidebar you are only deleting the playlist, not the files. Follow Step 5 to delete the files.

Sexy and talented Rihanna has been getting a lot of attention in Paris where she was recently seen checking out the Paris fashion industry. When she arrived at Paris' Hotel de Ville with heavy security surrounding her, and was greeted by friend and designer Olivier Rousteign, he hugged her and said, "She's the hottest girl in the world," reported ABC on Feb. 28, 2014.
The exquisitely dressed Barbadian superstar has revealed she wants to launch her own fashion label and that she's attending Paris Fashion Week to get ideas for this. Meanwhile, it's rumored Rihanna has been texting ex Chris Brown in spite of her present romance with Drake, reports Hollywood Life. In between being seen frolicking around Paris with Drake, Rihanna has reportedly been talking to her ex, and has even told him she misses him.
A source has said, "The two have been sending each other a flurry of texts." Apparently some of Rihanna's friends are freaked out that she may rekindle her romance with Chris.These friends feel she is happier and more stable with Drake, whom they says she is obviously crazy about. This love triangle offers all of the ingredients of a real life soap opera, with a lot of men worldwide clearly jealous of Brown and Drake.

CW pumps out the full carrier but has a better SNR. On the other hand SSB suppresses the carrier, and one side-band but this suppression demands additional circuitry. There are probably additional considerations with SSB - poor SNR, operator dialect but these are not part of the question here.
When the available options to transmit are CW, and SSB in ARES - which of the two will conserve the battery more?

Thanks to Momondealz for this informative post each week!
Although tax season is over, tax questions arise year round. My husband is an experienced accountant and will be answering questions sent to me at email@example.com
What expenses can you not claim on your taxes?
The items not deductible are expenses that would not be used to generate a profit. One example would be groceries. You could not deduct groceries from a shopping trip that you used to post on your website. The groceries are a necessary item needed to sustain life, not make a profit. Commuting mileage cannot be deducted, only the mileage to and from couponing class held outside of your home/office. Personal expenses and profit distributions are not deductible. This question is better answered by including what is deductible…expenses directly related to the generation of profit, that are not necessary living expenses
*Please keep in mind this post is for informational purposes only and answers given are very general. Many things depend on individual circumstances. Please contact your personal accountant or financial advisor for your particular situation.

It's great to know information like this year round so you can be prepared when it's finally time to prepare taxes. Doing and understanding taxes can be so stressful.

Course overview
This course provides arts leaders and managers with vital skills in managing arts and cultural organisations, facilities and programs. Students develop the ability to build relationships with audiences, and to tackle common industry challenges.
You'll be taught by staff with extensive practical experience in management and leadership in the arts and cultural sectors. Take advantage of the opportunity to engage with industry representatives, and be exposed to the work of cutting edge practitioners.
On completion of the Graduate Certificate, students are able to enter the Master or Graduate Diploma of Arts and Cultural Management.
Cloud (online) studies
Deakin offers many courses which can be studied by distance education overseas.
However, international students living in Australia must, in each compulsory trimester (that is, Trimesters 1 and 2), enrol in at least one unit that is offered as a Campus located unit and can, in addition enrol in units offered via Cloud (online). International students are not permitted to do more than 25% of their total course via Cloud (online) learning. Best practice is to enrol in mostly Campus located units in each compulsory trimester.
In a non-compulsory trimester (Trimester 3), international students may study Cloud (online) units only.
Fees and charges
Fee paying place - International
A fee paying place is one for which the University does not receive any Government funding. As such, students enrolled in these places are required to contribute the full cost of their course.
Fees for international students apply to persons living in Australia with Temporary Resident status, provided that there is no limitation on study and persons living abroad who are not Australian citizens and do not have Permanent Resident status in Australia.
The actual course fee charged by Deakin University, is based on the course and the study load being undertaken. The annual fee above is based on eight credit points (which equals one Equivalent Full Time Study Load - EFTSL). If your study load for the year is less than or more than eight credit points, your fees will be adjusted accordingly. To calculate the fee for each unit, take the applicable course fee above, divide it by eight, then multiply it by the credit point of the unit you are studying. To find the credit point and EFTSL value of each unit, go to the Handbook Unit Search.
This 'Fee paying annual fee' is provided as a guide only. The actual course fee charged by Deakin University, is based on the course and the study load (EFTSL) being undertaken.
The fees per course/unit/credit point may be otherwise subject to an annual increase due to rises in the cost of course delivery and service.
No representation is made that the information provided is current or accurate. Deakin assumes no responsibility for persons relying on indicative course fee to calculate the total future cost of their course. Applicants can email email@example.com for more information about 2016 fees.
Course rules
To complete the Graduate Certificate of Arts and Cultural Management, students attain a total of 4 credit points of core units. Most units (think of units as 'subjects') are equal to 1 credit point.
Course structure
Select 4 credit points of units from:
|Arts Marketing
|Arts Management
|Managing Cultural Projects and Events
|Managing Arts in Community Settings
|Arts Fundraising and Sponsorship

Before looking at how we, at Future Law, advise our clients on simplifying their contractual documents, it's worth looking at the reasons for having legally binding contract terms in the first place. A contract is simply a way of trying to ensure that you get the deal to which you agreed. In our personal lives we rarely use written contracts to get what we want. As consumers we enter into many contracts, but do not pay much attention to their terms, because we know we are protected by consumer protection laws. More importantly though, we understand that a business that treats us badly is unlikely to succeed in the long run. So, on a personal level, we often invest time and money, take considerable risks, and place reliance on others, based on nothing more than an understanding of other people's motivations and a sense of trust.
Legally binding contract terms between businesses are really nothing more than agreements between the individuals who negotiate and manage the contracts and their understanding of one another's motivations. They are usually a combination of economics (financial motivation) and psychology (personal motivation), so in the later respect at least we start to appreciate that imposing detailed obligations on someone could prove to be counterproductive.
However, many lawyers spend hours framing conventional contracts almost entirely in the language of detailed obligations (you must do "x" and we must do "y", or else "z" will happen). Naturally lawyers are keen to be as specific as possible, as they are taught that the more detail, the more certainty, and the more certainty, the more protection. As justification for this, lawyers will always say that they must have one eye on how a contract could ultimately be enforced by a court.
The problem with this approach is that courts are rarely proven to be great places to resolve business disputes and it is therefore from this premis that we, at Future Law, seek to draft our client's legally binding contract terms.
In our collective experience, we advise that the most successful contractual relationships have three main features:
- The contracts are as short as possible;
- The contracts focus on incentives rather than obligations. The incentives would typically be simple and may not therefore require detailed regulation of the whole business relationship; and
- Each party would have a right to terminate on a reasonable period of notice. If each party simply has a "nuclear button" to end the relationship, rather than a selection of "sticks" to beat one another with, they tend to focus on the bigger issue of whether their personal relationship is actually working, rather than the precise meaning of words in the contract.
Conversely, we believe that certain elements of a contract seem to encourage problems:
- Detailed contracts actually seem to cause disputes. There are usually differing interpretations of what those contracts required, or differences about what amounted to satisfactory performance or breach; and
- Contracts with a medium to long-term fixed duration tend to have the most disputes. Being locked in to a fixed duration causes greater friction between the parties and often more recourse to their lawyers. On a practical level, a longer duration provides more scope for unexpected events to occur, upsetting the basis on which the contract was struck, and therefore causing unforeseen tensions.
In essence then, the combination of incentives to continue doing business, alongside the ability to walk away at any time, creates a commercial affinity between the parties that generally helps keep them together over many years.
So, the Future Law approach to drafting legally binding contract terms is based on three key principles:
- Focus on the key legal risks and value, and minimise the rest;
- Create commercial affinity, not a legal straitjacket, by avoiding the imposition of detailed obligations and instead focus on incentives, coupled with the ability of either party to walk away; and
- Rely on the inherent fairness of the general law rather than trying to impose sanctions.
So if you would like to talk to us about how we can achieve thess outcomes for you, and help you build long term business relationships and growth, please call us on 0844 209 8500, we'd love to work with you.

FilterAid0.1b: Web-Based IIR FilterDesign Simulator
Authors: Gary Bernitz and Vivek Mani
Contributors: Brian Evans and Dogu Arifler
Running FilterAid0.1b:
Filter-Aid0.1b is a filter design simulator developed at the University of Texas at Austin to automate IIR filter design on the Internet. It is capable of plotting the magnitude, phase, and step responses for a given set of user-inputted filter conditions. For more information concerning the input conditions and filter simulation consult the following resource:
An Automated Framework for Multicriteria Optimization of Analog Filter Designs
by N. Damera-Venkata and B. L. Evans in IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Analog and Digital Signal Processing.
It is capable of automated simulation of the following five combinations of poles and zeroes:
4poles 0 zeroes
4poles 2 zeroes
4poles 4 zeroes
6poles 6 zeroes
8poles 8 zeroes
The graphical user interface of the applet uses Java's swing windowing package so requires a Java compatible browser with the appropriate swing plug-in. The filter simulator will run under any Java 2-enabled browser. Otherwise, you will be automatically pointed to a URL for the Java Plug-in installer. If Java 2 support is enabled, then you should see a button centered on the next line:
No Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition v 1.3 support to run the applet

Simbambili Game Lodge
Leopard Diaries
A word from our rangers.
14 to 20 December
Leopard Diaries 14th - 20th December 2009
The game viewing this week has been fantastic, we have been lucky to have had a number of fantastic predator sightings. Lion, leopard and wild dogs have all been seen over the course of the week.
A large number of elephant and buffalo have also been on the property. White Rhinoceros have been seen daily and this has made game drives really rewarding.
The weather has been great with some very hot and humid days being experienced. We have had two rain showers this week with a total of 50 millimetres of rain falling. Dinner on Sunday evening was beautifully highlighted by a large electrical storm lighting up the night sky.
Nyeleti and her three cubs were seen for two days this week, as they played and rested in the Manyeleti riverine. The three cubs are growing up well and appear to be healthy and all three are relaxed in the presence of the vehicles. The trio entertained us for well over an hour one morning as they stalked and chased each other up and down the river bed.
The sighting of a new female leopard in the area had us all hoping to get a glimpse of this new visitor. The leopard female appears to be an older female and is utilising the area around Rhino Pan. She was found in the area over a three day period and was seen on a young impala kill.
Salayexe and her two cubs were found early one morning on an impala kill. This was quickly stolen by a hyena that ran in and appropriated the carcass. The full grown impala ram carcass was too large to hoist into a tree and the leopards had to wait until later in the day to reclaim the remains of the carcass from an hyena.
Mbilo and the old female Safari had an altercation near our southern boundary. The younger of the two leopard females, Mbilo, had managed to bring down an impala ewe and to hoist the carcass into the branches of a large marula tree. The commotion caused by the kill had attracted the attention of Safari who approached and chased the young leopard away from the kill. The pair spent the following two days in the area although it appears that there was never an actual physical confrontation between the two cats.
The highlight of this week's game viewing has been the number of lion sightings that we have enjoyed with two different prides being found in our traversing area.
The Windmill Pride, were found early on in the week with a freshly killed buffalo. The pride numbering eight lions fed off the carcass before being chased off by two large male lions that move into the area from the Manyeleti reserve.
These males fed on the buffalo carcass for the following three days, chasing the young males of the Windmill Pride who are rapidly approaching independence from the pride. The pride however seems to have regrouped and their tracks were seen heading east into the Kruger National Park.
The Styx Pride made an unexpected return to our property when they were found feeding on a wildebeest kill one morning. The pride is made up of seven individual lions, three lionesses, three sub adult lionesses and a young male lion. They have spent the week moving around the northern section of our traversing.
The Tsalala Pride also made a brief appearance one morning being found feeding on the remains of a wildebeest kill that they had made on one of the airstrips. They moved south and out of our property later that day. The eight cubs are all still well and are growing almost daily as their mothers provide them with a constant source of meat. The wildebeest have all calved recently and this has added to the bonus that summertime brings for most predators.
Large numbers of elephant were present this week with all of the larger herds utilising the mud wallows to cool off during the hot weather that has been experienced. The sight of a large herd of elephants enjoying a mud bath is one of the highlights of any safari. The excitement that ripples through the herd as they move toward water and the relief it will bring from the heat is almost palpable. The young elephant as with children cannot resist a good play session in the mud and often have to be dragged away from the water by their mothers as they gather the herd together to move off and feed.
Buffalo and Rhinoceros
Buffalo have been seen daily this week with the resident bulls once again being found easing away the days submerged in a cool mud wallow or waterhole, often with only their eyes and nostrils protruding out of the water!!
White rhinoceros have been found most afternoons as they move to the waterholes or temporary pans to wallow or slake their thirst. Once again the tracks of a black rhinoceros were found on the property and it is only a matter of time before we get a glimpse of this rare pachyderm.
Wild Dog
A Pack of six dogs was spotted moving over one of the airstrips in the area, it appeared that they were hunting and it was not long before the excited yips of feeding dogs were heard.
We approached to find the pack feeding on an impala lamb. The dogs soon finished the small kill and moved away, they entered an area with very dense bush and we could not follow any further.
We hope that you have a safe and festive Christmas

I am very excited that Jennifer Nettles is coming to San Jose this Thursday. She will be performing at the San Jose Civic Auditorium.
Jennifer is the lead singer of the amazing country band, Sugarland. I saw Sugarland in concert, and it was one of the best shows I have ever had the privilege of attending. In no small part, that was due to the beautiful voice and outstanding performance skills of Jennifer Nettles. She is able to deliver a song like Stay with true emotion and authenticity, while she is also able to deliver a song like Stuck Like Glue with spunk and fun!
The new album that Jennifer is promoting was started a few months after delivering her baby. She gave the legendary producer, Rick Rubin, a call. He agreed to work with her, so in May of 2013, she moved temporarily to California with her husband and new baby. She worked with Rick in his Shangri-La Studio located in an old hippie ranch house in Malibu that was originally owned by Bob Dylan. They worked on a number of songs and in the end both Jennifer and Rick made lists of the yes, no and maybe tracks. Those that they both had in common made the album.
I am very excited about both the album and the concert. Jennifer is a great talent and I am sure they will be outstanding.
Go to www.jennifernettles.com for more information and tickets.

[Not much of a hardware guy, so please excuse my ignorance :)]
I just ordered an HP Pavilion Elite HPE-450t (desktop), which came with Win7 installed on the hard drive, using two partitions (C: and D:).
Separately, I bought a 128GB SSD that I intend to use as my system drive. I got it in there and connected it, and right now, it's the J: drive (which was the first letter available in disk manager).
My goal is for the SSD to get a clean OS install be the C: drive, and to clean out the other hard drive and make it D: (for misc data storage)
Question #1: the motherboard has two SATA plugs. Does it matter which one I use for which drive?
Question #2: what's the right way to install Win7 on the SSD in a way that it ends up being the C: drive? Do I need to switch some things around in the current Win7 that came with it, are can I do all that while installing Win7 on the SSD?

Had a BAD Day
Monday, October 01, 2012
Ugh, if only I could turn back time. My husband was off from work today and will also be off tomorrow so sometimes I allow myself to "cheat" on my diet those days. I never benefit from it in any way so while I'm thinking how great it feels at the moment; I immediately feel guilty afterwards. The whole day becomes a disaster because I allowed myself to cheat for "just this one day" once or twice a week.
I feel so disappointed in myself. I didn't even workout today. I'm glad I got a chance to spend time with my husband though. He works many hours during the week therefore I end up missing him immensely. But mostly, everything went wrong today....the puppy relieved herself in the house after being so good with that for months. I couldn't even sleep last night because the puppy wouldn't stop barking for most of the night. I was almost late to an appointment I had and of course I let it all out on my husband. The best part of today is that it's almost over. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
I know I'm only human and can't have perfect days everyday of the week but sometimes I forget that. I forget that noone's perfect and that everyone has their own struggles. Of course mine are always the worst that could possibly be imagined. LoL No, they aren't but it surely seems that way at times. I almost forget how fortunate I really am. I should take a minute to realize that instead of complaining about how imperfect my day actually was. I guess I can only put as much effort as I actually want to on a daily basis. It really is up to us what kind of day we're going to have. It's all about attitude and how you perceive things.
I don't give myself this pep talk before my day begins though. I kind of wait until I have the worst day ever in my eyes, of course-- then after that day is semi over-- I tell myself what I've pretty much known all along.
I remember when my brother used to live with us, he motivated himself everyday before it even started by having inspirational quotes that, he pretty much came up with himself, taped onto the mirrors in the bathroom. I think that's what got him through school. Having that pep talk with himself before the day even started. Not a bad idea.....
Well....it's 9pm so I'm going to sign off for a bit. Tomorrow's goal: Not to beat myself for what I did today but to start fresh tomorrow. To stick to my diet no matter what, and to exercise for 40 min (my usual time). I'm going to make tomorrow great and worth living for!

Is there a way to configure mod_auth_ldap without modifying httpd.conf ? (ie. only using .htaccess files)
The reason I ask is that we are trying to setup a directory on our site to use ldap authentication (I do not administrate the ldap server, simply have credentials to connect.) Additionally, I do not administrate the box hosting this project and am wondering if I can set this up without having to modify the main httpd.conf as this box hosts many many sites.
