Shopping centre owner Centro Retail Australia is changing its name just 12 months after a massive company overhaul that kept the once debt-laden company afloat.
The company has chosen Federation Centres as its new name, and will ask shareholders to vote on the change at a meeting on January 22.
Centro was one of Australia's highest-profile casualties of the global financial crisis, succumbing to massive debts due mainly to its exposure to the US market.
It underwent a complicated restructure to eventually become Centro Retail Australia in December 2011, with a sole focus on Australian shopping centres.Centro currently owns 41 shopping centres.
Chairman Bob Edgar said the name change would continue the company's transformation.
''Our proposal to become Federation Centres is much more than a simple name change,'' he said in a statement. ''It also demonstrates the renewal actions taken by the organisation during the past year. We now have a clear path forward with a new board, refreshed management team and a clear strategic direction.''

A carbon sequestration strategy has recently been proposed in which a forest is actively managed, and a fraction of the wood is selectively harvested and stored to prevent decomposition. The forest serves as a 'carbon scrubber' or 'carbon remover' that provides continuous sequestration (negative emissions). Earlier estimates of the theoretical potential of wood harvest and storage (WHS) based on coarse wood production rates were 10 ± 5 GtC y−1. Starting from this physical limit, here we apply a number of practical constraints: (1) land not available due to agriculture; (2) forest set aside as protected areas, assuming 50 % in the tropics and 20 % in temperate and boreal forests; (3) forests difficult to access due to steep terrain; (4) wood use for other purposes such as timber and paper. This 'top-down' approach yields a WHS potential 2.8 GtC y−1. Alternatively, a 'bottom-up' approach, assuming more efficient wood use without increasing harvest, finds 0.1–0.5 GtC y−1 available for carbon sequestration. We suggest a range of 1–3 GtC y−1 carbon sequestration potential if major effort is made to expand managed forests and/or to increase harvest intensity. The implementation of such a scheme at our estimated lower value of 1 GtC y−1 would imply a doubling of the current world wood harvest rate. This can be achieved by harvesting wood at a moderate harvesting intensity of 1.2 tC ha−1 y−1, over a forest area of 8 Mkm2 (800 Mha). To achieve the higher value of 3 GtC y−1, forests need to be managed this way on half of the world's forested land, or on a smaller area but with higher harvest intensity. We recommend WHS be considered part of the portfolio of climate mitigation and adaptation options that needs further research.

A Deadly Triangle - Stories from Rooksbridge #6
Three missing wagons of quarried stone. Will Sedgwin, Sophia, and Aldcourt find it in the hands of the bitter townsfolk of Rudwell, the local bandits, or the unleashed spirits still angry at humanity? And once they find the stone, is their job as simple as bringing it home?
Stories from Rooksbridge is a serialized fantasy novel, with installments published not-incredibly-regularly. It features knights and magic and politics and sex and is hopefully half as much fun for you to read as it is for me to write.
The digital edition includes printup, screenread, and iPhone formats.

Mainpuri is one of the five districts of the Agra Division of Uttar Pradesh with the divisional commissioner's headquarter at Agra.In 1801 ; it was the headquarters of the district Etawah which then comprised the present districts of Mainpuri, Etah and Etawah . In 1803, the revenue jurisdiction of the entire district was enstrusted to a collector, residing at Mainpuri. Soon after, Sauj was transferred to Farrukhabad and in 1817 Kuraoli was received from Farrukhabad. In 1824 , the old pargana of Rapri was dismembered and divided into kismal awwal, subsequently known as pargana Shikihabad, and kismat duyam, afterwards called the Mustafabad and the Ghiror parganas. Pargana Bibamau was broken up and distributed between, Barnahal, Etawah and Shikihabad, and Karhal, also a tappa of Etawah, was constituted a separate pargana. In 1837, the jurisdiction of Mainpuri was restricted to Sahawar-Karsana, Etawah-Sakit, Sirhpura, Kuraoli, Shikohabad , Mustafabad, Ghiror, Sauj, Karhal, Kishni-Nabiganj, Bhongaon, Alipur Patti and Manchhana. Bewar was received from Farrukhabad in 1840 . on the formation of the Etah district in 1845, the parganas of Sahawar-Karsana, Etah-Sakit and Sirhpura were handed over to it, and since that period the district Jurisdiction has altered little. In 1850-51 pargana Bhongaon a taluka Manchhana were united under the mane Bhongaon-Manchhana, and in 1861 pargana Sauj was broken up and divided between Karhal and Mainpuri. Later changes have for the most part been trifling, being exchanges of small areas of land between pargana and pargana within the district and with the neighboring districts of Etawah, Etah and Farrukhabad between the years 1957 and 1961 as described in chapter 1.
He functions as a vital link between the administration of the district under him and the government. He controls, guides and advises district and regional level officers, solves inter-departmental problems and assesses the performance of officers of various departments posted in his division. On the judicial side, his jurisdiction extends to hearing appeals and revisions under the U.P. Land Revenue Act, U.P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act,and several other enactment's like the Arms Act. He is the chairman of the regional transport authority and exercises powers of supervision over the Zila Parishad, municipal boards and other local bodies.
District Magistrate
Usually, a member of
the Indian Administrative Services and occasionally an officer of the State Civil Services , the district magistrate presides over the
general administration of the district . He combines in himself the functions of a
magistrate and collector, appointed under the Code of Criminal Procedure and the U.P. Land
Revenue Act , respectively. In his capacity as head of civil administration in the
district,he ac acts as a principal co-ordinator between functionaries of various
departments represented in the district.Maintenance of law and order, enforcement of
various laws, rules and regulations and miscellaneous governments orders, release of
prisoners, appraisal of public opinion and
avoidance of explosive situations are some of the important duties assigned to him as
district magistrate and it is in their performance that he comes into close touch with the
police who follow his instructions. He is the licensing authority in matters like
possession of arms and ammunition, running of fair price shops and preparation of
various laws, rules and regulations and miscellaneous governments orders, release of prisoners, appraisal of public opinion and avoidance of explosive situations are some of the important duties assigned to him as district magistrate and it is in their performance that he comes into close touch with the police who follow his instructions. He is the licensing authority in matters like possession of arms and ammunition, running of fair price shops and preparation of fireworks.
As collector he is responsible for recovery of land revenue and other government dues and maintenance of an up-t0-date record of fights. Survey and record operations, Settlement, acquisition of land, rehabilitation of displaced persons and distribution of relief on calamitous occasions are some other subjects dealt with by him as the principal revenue officer of the district. It is also his responsibility to recommend suspension and remission of land revenue, whenever he considers it necessary. He also supervises the work of consolidation of holdings and hears appeals under the Consolidation of Holdings Act. The district treasury is also in his ultimate charge. He is expected to tour extensively for a long duration, particularly in the interior of his district, every year. He visits each tahsil during the rainy season for tahsil and thana inspections and in winter to acquaint himself with the condition of agriculturists and to watch the implementation of development schemes.
Necessary certification in the case of claimants to old age or political pension, payment of compensation under the Workman's Compensation Act in case of accidents causing disability, total or partial, combating strikes and other labour problems, extension of visas,management of estates owned by the government and nazul, and supervision of the conduct of civil suits in which the State is a party, are also some of his manifold duties. The district officer acts as the chief protocol officer in the also to ensure equitable distribulation of food-grains and other essential commodities through fair price shops with the help of the district supply officer. He is ex officio district election officer and ex officio president of the district soldiers', sailors' and airmen's board.

The fellow attends the weekly laboratory conference on Monday morning from 7:15 - 8:15. This meeting outlines research activities throughout the week, allocates resources appropriately, and facilitates research activity. The fellow's activity from the previous week and upcoming research plans are reviewed at that time. The meeting lasts from one to one and one-half hours. Resident and fellow research activity is discussed. The basic science resident and the fellow will be expected to attend. Dr. Koman, Dr. Beth Smith, Dr. Tom Smith, and all active researchers (MDs, PhDs, and medical students) are expected to be present.
There is a bi-monthly multidisciplinary meeting with Anesthesia and the Pain Center (Richard Rauck, MD). Every 6 to 8 weeks, Dr. Michelle Naughton attends the meeting and outcome studies are discussed. Researchers from other departments within the medical school frequently attend these meetings to discuss ongoing research protocols. This meeting provides a focus for research activities. Participation in this meeting by the hand fellow is expected in addition to the scheduled 8 hours of basic science time per week.
It is expected that fellows will do some research reading and work after hours, but it is recognized by the department that prime-time hours (9 am to 5 pm) should be kept free from patient care responsibilities and are necessary in order to perform meaningful research.
The hand fellows have been encouraged to develop and pursue independent projects and/or may participate in other ongoing research. Support includes time, space, computer/statistical aid, equipment, supplies, trained orthopaedic technicians to facilitate projects, and direct supervision by Dr. Beth Smith and the faculty. Fellows are expected to engage actively in:
Fellows are expected to present their research at the annual alumni meeting in June/July and have a publication-ready project by the end of the fellowship.
It is anticipated that clinical emergencies will occur. The importance of protected research time is appreciated by the faculty and will be monitored closely in order to guarantee sufficient "prime-time" (9 am to 5 pm) laboratory/research experience. It is expected, however, that at the completion of the fellowship, each fellow will have satisfied the minimum RRC requirements for clinic and operative days. Departmental requirements include (at minimum) one article in publishable form by each fellow by the completion of the fellowship year.
Clinic hours, as mandated by the RRC include 49 weeks in training.
Our department allows for time away for vacation (3 weeks per year) and professional days (10 days per year) to be utilized for meetings, conferences or interviews. An annual stipend of $1,500 is provided to be utilized for any valid educational endeavor, as deemed appropriate by the fellowship director.

Everyone usually have a pair of nipples and they can be the gateway to BDSM heaven if treated in a certain way. An activity that can be carried out with this in mind, is what is commonly known as Tit Torture or Nipple Torture.
Nipples are sensitive and a perfect area of the body use for pain and pleasure. Nipple torture can be carried out quite easily by biting on them, licking and pinching them. Keep in mind that it's highly individual how nipple torture is processed, but with an escalating practice most people can turn the nipple torture into something very enjoyable. Nipples are in other words quite versitile.
You can also get a pair of nipple clamps or a good old-fashioned clothing pin if you are on a budget, I prefer the wooden ones, mostly for aesthetic reasons. The downside with regular clothing pins is that is impossible to control the pressure they apply on the nipple – And this is where a pair of nipple clamps comes into the picture, because they give you a greater level of control.
So if you want to have more control when applying the pain to the nipples, then you have a couple of choices as nipple clamps come in all sorts. I am going to sort out the differences between the basic ones as they all open up for new possibilities..
Before you start playing with nipple torture, there are some basic guidelines that are always good to follow:
- The majority of nipple torture involves cutting off circulation to the nipples, the general rule is that nipple clamps shouldn't be used for more than 10-15 minutes in order to prevent permanent damage to nerve ends among other thing.
- Always try the clamps on yourself to get a sense of what you are subjecting your submissive to.
- If you are using a pair of wooden clothing pins, be sure to use them on something else a couple of times to take the "bite" out of them.
- If you or your submissive haven't done nipple torture before, then don't go for the meanest ones – Start slowly and work your way up for a longer period of time.
- The line between pleasure and pain when using nipple clamps are very thin. Be sure to stay below that line in order to get maximum pleasure out of your nipple torture.
- The nipples can get hypersensitive, even for days, afterwards.
Clover clamps
Clover clamps are also known as Japanese clamps as they have appeared in a lot of Japanese style porn movies. The clover clamp have smaller points, compared to other clamps, that are rubberized. The rubber helps to create a firm grip around the nipple which is necessary as clover clamps have a twist to them.
The more you pull on a clover clamp the harder it grabs hold of the nipple. This means that if you have a chain between a pair of clover clamps, then you can hang weights on the chain in order to increase the pressure on the nipple. Clover clamps have an initial nasty bite to them and are considered only to be used on submissive that are experienced in using nipple clamps.
Clover clamps are best applied a little bit behind the actual nipple as the points of pressure are small – If they are applied in such a way that they just grab hold of half of the nipple, then the bite is turned into a pinch which can make anyone pass out. The clover clamps should be applied gently and slowly as any mistake can be too painful.
Bull nosed clamps
Bull nosed clamps have blunt ends covered in rubber or latex and a screw in the middle whichallows you to control the pressure they apply on the nipple. These clamps offer the same comfort as Tweezer clamps, the pressure on the nipple is fairly moderate even when they are tightened as far as they can be.
The pressure area is also fairly large in comparison with the clover clamps, which also makes these clamps to be considered as "nice" ones that are suitable for the aspring beginner in the art of nipple torture.
Applying the bull nosed clamps can be a little bit of a hassle as you need to have a firm grip of the nipple between tip of your index finger and thumb to make it stick out. While holding that grip you need to guide the clamp in place and screw on it in order to make it grab hold of the nipple. As you understand from reading this – It is a troublesome task.
One solution is that the submissive grab hold of the nipple while the dominant concentrate on guiding the clamp and tightening the grip. This is of course hard if your submissive is tied up.
Tweezer clamps
Tweezer clamps are graceful looking and very aesthetically pleasing. The pressure they apply on the nipple is regulated by a small metal ring that is moved up or down along the tweezer. The pressure that applied on the nipple by a tweezer clamp is minimal as the tweezer itself is very thin and the metal tend to budge. The rubber tips also helps to avoid a harsh pain when using tweezer clamps.
The grip of the tweezer clamp makes it unsuitable to sustain weights and if you pull on them they usually lose their grip. When applying these clamps, then you have the same problem as when you apply the bull nose clamps – You need to keep a grip on the nipple while guiding the clamp and adjusting the pressure ring. These clamps are also very hard to use on someone with small nipples and they are best applied straight on a stiff nipple.
The metal also gets weakened after extensive use, so you have to buy new ones now and then – On the other hand, they are fairly inexpensive.
When you get more experienced with the tweezer clamps then you can remove the rubber tips and that reveals a pair of metal teeth which will make the clamp dig into the nipple, this is more for hardcore play and it might break some skin as well. If you decide to use the clamps without the rubber tips, then be sure the clean them carefully before and after use in a suitable disinfectant. An infection in your nipple is not something that you would want and it can actually affect your ability to breast feed later in life.
My personal opinion is that tweezer clamps are mostly for show as the tactile sensation is minimal – But if you have a low threshold when it comes to pain while having your nipples stimulated then these clamps are a very good start.
Tweezer clamps was actually my first pair of clamps that I bought and I find them very useful when I am in the start of nipple training a submissive as they are very soft.
C-clamps require that you can invoke a fairly large nipple erection to make the clamp grab hold of the nipple. The big flat surface creates a evenly distributed pressure across the nipple.
My experience is that you have to tighten these clamps fairly hard to make them they stay in place. The smaller nipple you have, the smaller surface for the C-clamp to grab hold of. The area between the two metal rods is usually small, which makes it virtually impossible to apply the clamp behind the nipple.
Applying these clamps involves the same problem as with tweezer clamps and bull nosed clamps – You wish you had three hands when trying to put these on a submissive. These are actually the hardest ones to put on as you only have the nipple to work with, so you have to be very delicate in your grip while trying to maneuver the nipple into the clamp.
The psychological enjoyment of nipple clamps
As I mentioned before, nipple clamps constricts or even cuts of circulation to the nipples. There is some pressure/pain involved when applying the clamps onto the nipples, but that pain will usually dissipate as the body gets used to the sensation and produces endorphins. This is also why the dominant should keep track of the time that the clamps stays on, as the submissive might not feel any pain at all after a couple of minutes.
There is a psychological twist with nipple clamps that is quite enjoyable – They hurt even more when you remove them.
As you constrict the blood flow to the nipples you also make them numb. As the blood rushes back into the area that has been constricted, the feeling also returns creating an overload at the nerve ends. This means that the submissive will in most cases feel a very sharp and intense, uncontrollable, pain when the clamps are removed.
This can be used in favor of the dominant – Remove one clamp and let the submissive ride through the pain. Then you remind the sub that there is one clamp left and that you have to remove that as well. The longer you let the clamps stay one, the more excruciating the pain will be when you remove them and that can be enough to send someone into subspace. Be sure to keep the basic rule; Don't leave the clamps on no longer than 10-15 minutes to avoid permanent damage to the nerve ends.
Happy clamping everyone and feel free to write about your experiences with nipple clamps as comments to this post.

Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue made a drastic change in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal as the NFL announced all suspensions and penalties for Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive end Will Smith, along with former linebacker Scott Fujita and defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove have been vacated.
Vilma, who was twice suspended for the season by current NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, said via text message, "Glad this part is over."
Here's what NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wrote on Tagliabue's decision via Twitter on Tuesday afternoon: "Tagliabue affirms factual findings of Commissioner Goodell concludes Hargrove, Smith, Vilma 'engaged in conduct detrimental' and vacates all player discipline."
Here's a statement from Tagliabue through the NFL: "Unlike Saints' broad organizational misconduct, player appeals involve sharply focused issues of alleged individual player misconduct in several different aspects. My (Tagliabue) affirmation of Commissioner Goodell's findings could certainly justify the issuance of fines. However, this entire case has been contaminated by the coaches and others in the Saints' organization."
More from Tagliabue: "Having reviewed the testimony very carefully, including documentary evidence that is at the center of the conflict, and having assessed the credibility of the four central witnesses on these matters, I find there is more than enough evidence to support Commissioner Goodell's findings that Mr. Vilma offered such a bounty (on Brett Favre)."
Here's the NFL statement on Tagliabue's decision: "We
respect Mr. Tagliabue's decision, which underscores the due process afforded
players in NFL disciplinary matters. This matter has now been reviewed by
Commissioner Goodell, two CBA grievance arbitrators, the CBA Appeals Panel, and
Mr. Tagliabue as Commissioner Goodell's designated appeals officer.
"The decisions have made clear that the Saints operated a bounty program in violation of league rules for three years, that the program endangered player safety, and that the commissioner has the authority under the CBA to impose discipline for those actions as conduct detrimental to the league. Strong action was taken in this matter to protect player safety and ensure that bounties would be eliminated from football."
The NFLPA's statement said, "We believe that when a fair due process takes place, a fair outcome is the result. We are pleased that Paul Tagliabue, as the appointed hearings officer, agreed with the NFL Players Association that previously issued discipline was inappropriate in the matter of the alleged New Orleans Saints bounty program.
"Vacating all discipline affirms the players' unwavering position that all allegations the League made about their alleged 'intent-to-injure' were utterly and completely false. We are happy for our members."
Tagliabue wrote a 22-page report on his findings and why he issued the
ruling. The most significant details may come from his findings in
Vilma's case as Vilma was accused of placing a $10,000 bounty on
then-Vikings quarterback Brett Favre in the NFC championship game following the 2009 season. Favre took a physical beating but finished the game, which the Saints won 31-28 in overtime to advance to their first Super Bowl.
Here's an excerpt from Tagliabue's thought process in vacating Vilma's twice issued season-long suspension: "It is essential to recognize that Vilma
is being most severely disciplined for 'talk' or speech at a team meeting on
the evening before the Saints-Vikings game. He is not being punished for his
performance on the field and, indeed, none of the discipline of any player here
relates to on-field conduct.
"No Saints' player was suspended for on-field play by the League after the game in question. If the League wishes to suspend a player for pre-game talk including 'offers' to incentivize misconduct, it must start by imposing enhanced discipline for illegal hits that involve the kind of player misconduct that it desires to interdict. The relationship of the discipline for the off-field "talk" and actual on-field conduct must be carefully calibrated and reasonably apportioned. This is a standard grounded in common sense and fairness. ...
"If one were to punish certain off-field talk in locker rooms, meeting rooms, hotel rooms or elsewhere without applying a rigorous standard that separated real threats or "bounties" from rhetoric and exaggeration, it would open a field of inquiry that would lead nowhere. ...
"Adding to the complexity, there is little evidence of the tone of any talk about a bounty before the Vikings game. Was any bounty pledged serious? Was it inspirational only? Was it typical 'trash talk' that occurs regularly before and during games? The parties presented no clear answers. No witness could confirm whether Vilma had any money in his hands as he spoke; no evidence was presented that $10,000 was available to him for purposes of paying a bounty or otherwise. There was no evidence that Vilma or anyone else paid any money to any player for any bounty-related hit on an opposing player in the Vikings game.
"I neither excuse nor condone the alleged offer of a bounty on Favre, whether offered by any player, coach, other Saints' employee or third party. Such conduct has no place in the game of professional football. I cannot, however, uphold a multi-game suspension where there is no evidence that a player's speech prior to a game was actually a factor causing misconduct on the playing field and that such misconduct was severe enough in itself to warrant a player suspension or a very substantial fine. Nor can I find justified a suspension where Williams and other Saints' personnel so carefully crafted an environment that would encourage and allow a player to make such an ill-advised and imprudent offer. I therefore vacate the suspension of Jonathan Vilma."
Vilma confirmed to NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune that he would pursue his defamation lawsuit against Goodell.
Peter Ginsberg, Vilma's lawyer, said while Vilma is pleased with the decision, it appears Vilma will maintain his fight in U.S. District Court in New Orleans where Vilma has a defamation lawsuit filed against Goodell.
"Two competing forces have been at play since at least March of this year - Roger Goodell has been trying every conceivable maneuver to avoid real and honest scrutiny of his manufactured allegations that Jonathan Vilma engaged in a bounty program aimed at opposing players and Jonathan has been fighting to have an open and fair review of those accusations," Ginsberg said in a statement. "We are obviously relieved and gratified that Jonathan no longer needs to worry about facing an unjustified suspension.
"On the other hand, Commissioner Tagliabue's rationalization of Commissioner Goodell's actions does nothing to rectify the harm done by the baseless allegations lodged against Jonathan. Jonathan has a right and every intention to pursue proving what really occurred and we look forward to returning to a public forum where the true facts can see the light of day. We call upon Commissioner Tagliabue to release the transcripts of the proceedings held before him so that they are available as we go forward.
"Finally, it is regrettable that the NFL continues unjustifiably to attack the New Orleans Saints, an organization comprised of decent and honest people who continue to stand strong in the face of these baseless attacks."
Smith was accused by former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams of embracing, leading and contributing to the alleged bounty program.
"Within the Saints' defensive unit, Smith was one of approximately two dozen Saints' defensive players who participated in the Program," Tagliabue said in his report. "Although Commissioner Goodell found Smith's role as a defensive leader to be a basis, at least in part, for singling Smith out for
discipline, this is inappropriate when most or all of the Saints' defensive unit committed the same or similar acts as those underpinning the discipline of Smith.
"In addition, I am not aware of previous League discipline that similarly rested on whether or not a player was a team leader. It may indeed be very constructive, in this and other contexts, to expect team captains, other team leaders, or even players with years of seniority to meet higher standards of responsibility for team conduct, and to take such status into account in imposing fines and other discipline. This is a concept that would require in-depth discussion with coaches and players. (I can foresee many different, legitimate points of view.) But, in any event, this is not an issue for me to decide.
"On the present record, selective prosecution of allegations of misconduct and enforcement of discipline relative to Smith cannot be sustained. Whatever the reason for such selective enforcement, it does not satisfy basic requirements for consistent treatment of player-employees similarly situated. Therefore, I vacate the suspension of Will Smith."
Smith said in a statement: "I'm pleased with the ruling of Mr. Tagliabue to vacate my suspension. I continue to maintain that I did not participate in a pay-to-injure program or facilitate any such program. I appreciate that Mr. Taglaibue did not rush to judgment, taking into consideration all facts presented to him, before ruling - something that was clearly not done by Commissioner Goodell in previous hearings. I am looking forward to putting this all behind me and getting back to the game I love. I want to thank the New Orleans Saints, the NFL Players Association, the fans, my friends and family for their continued support throughout this ordeal."
Hargrove was originally suspended for eight games, and Goodell later dropped Hargrove's suspension down to seven games with five games already served. Hargrove hasn't played for any team this season and in turn, hasn't collected a paycheck through the entire appeals and court process.
Here's an excerpt of Tagliabue's decision on Hargrove: "It is unclear exactly what NFL investigators asked Hargrove regarding the Program or any other alleged program and, thus, unclear whether he lied about the Program or the fact that it included cart-offs and knockouts. There is evidence in the appeals record that NFL investigators may not have asked Hargrove whether the Saints employed any particular program. The investigators focused on the alleged bounty placed on Brett Favre prior to the NFC Championship game in January 2010, which was the impetus for questioning Hargrove, who allegedly told a Vikings player of the Favre bounty.
"If Hargrove denied only the existence of the alleged bounty on Favre, he is no more guilty of conduct detrimental than the numerous Saints' defensive team members from the 2009-2010 season who have provided sworn statements or testimony to the same effect and who have not been suspended or otherwise disciplined.
"Finally, given the comprehensive, overt and ongoing nature of the obstruction by coaches and their direct instructions to Hargrove to lie, combined with their control over his football career, it is clear that Hargrove was under tremendous pressure to follow the chain of command in order to keep his job.
"I have concluded that there is not sufficient evidence to demonstrate in these unique circumstances that Anthony Hargrove's alleged misconduct is deserving of a suspension. I therefore vacate the suspension imposed on Hargrove."
Fujita was the only player completely cleared of wrongdoing by the NFL. Fujita was originally suspended for four games, but Goodell reduced Fujita's ban to one game in his second wave of suspensions.
Saints quarterback Drew Brees wrote via Twitter: "Congratulations to our players for having the suspensions vacated. Unfortunately, there are some things that can never be taken back."

Julia - I have to come back and pay homage to you and your passion for photography. A little more than a year ago I started taking pictures again...I hadn't really photographed for enjoyment since the early 90s. But...I purchased a digital camera and started playing with photography again. I mainly focused on "things". Things without emotion...things that didn't react...things that were perfectly happy to just sit there and let me shoot them as long as I liked.
Then ...one fateful day, I came across your photoblog. You photographed PEOPLE...and you captured a LOVE FOR LIFE and for those in your COMMUNITY. Your vision of your world almost instantly challenged me to look at my world differently. Now I too am consumed with a passion for photographing people. It is exciting...fun...challenging...frustrating...rewarding...amazing! Connecting with the people is the most rewarding part of people photography. I end up cherishing the photographs that I have taken because I was bless with making a genuine connection with the person that I photograph. I am still nowhere close to your talent or I don't see the world with the same vision/passion that you do...but it has changed my life forever. Your images were the major influence...the spark that started the fire that fuels my desire to photograph real life and real people.
Hope this isn't too sappy, but …
Julia - thanks for sharing your vision/talent/and love for people with us all!

Harlem (Dream Deferred)
by Langston Hughes
Harlem (Dream Deferred) Transience Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (line)
Quote #1
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun? (1-2)
But raisins are already dried up, aren't they? By comparing dreams to raisins, our speaker perhaps wants to describe them as being small and already pretty withered. By this logic, if you ignore them, then you make them even smaller and more withered.
Quote #2
Or fester like a sore–
And then run? (4-5)
Interesting that there's no talk of healing here. In this light, ignored dreams will never heal and go away. They will fester and then bleed like an infected wound.
Quote #3
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over–
like a syrupy sweet? (6-8)
Both of these similes have to do with change, and how food changes when it is not carefully put away or when it is not thrown out at the appropriate time. Does this mean that even when you ignore dreams, they won't let you ignore them? Or does it mean that you either have to get rid of dreams or act on them (deferring is not allowed)?

I was recently sent an email attachment that Gmail doesn't render. It's very important that I get access to this attachment, but I can't for the life of me figure out how. I know that the attachment was sent because I looked at the plain text, and saw this:
Content-Type: image/gif; name="image001.gif"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <email@example.com>
X-Attachment-Id: 8178a39d9dae1f7_0.1
(Continues like above for some time)
Note, to cut down on the size of this, and to ensure some privacy for what was emailed, I've omitted what is around maybe 500 lines of similar looking text.
So, my question is, how can I recover this image? I'm sure there has to be a way, that I'm not the only user to ever face this problem, but I'm having problems figuring it out.

Web users love informative clues. Whatever questions and misunderstandings might occur – delivering precise answers immediately is the primary task a responsive user interface should be able to cope with. To do that, developers have to consider subtle and well-thought tooltips – used correctly, they can greatly improve user experience and help users to get things done. In Web such "responsive" hints can be provided by tooltips. E.g., unclear input fields in web forms are perfect examples of a situation you might be willing to use a tooltip for. Tooltip is a good way to show extra information when user hovers the cursor over an element, If a tooltip on your website is very well made and looks amazing then it can improve our site's user friendly level, and also save us a lot of spaces. Have a look below "Amazing Useful Examples of jQuery Tooltip Plugins" and do experiments with jquery. Enjoy
jQuery Ajax Tooltip
which can handle image and text together like a mini page. It has a drop shadow effect.
Orbital Tooltip
where you can set manually where your tooltip will show up.
Beauty Tips is a jQuery tooltips plugin which uses the canvas drawing element to dynamically draw tooltips associated with an html element.
Easiest jQuery Tooltip Ever
Easiest JQuery Tooltip Ever could be useful to display an image when you hover over a link.
jQuery (mb)Tooltip 1.6
Input Floating Hint Box
with rounded corners for input fields. Tooltip fades in when you click on the input field and fades out when you click somewhere else.
with a fade in transition effect. It has a cool looking border around it and when this tooltip appears, it also follows your mouse.
is a lightweight jQuery plugin that enables you to add tool tips in your web page. You can use jQuery $() function to select any element in your page and apply TinyTips.
Tip Tip
This plugin is yet another product from my development work on Build It With Me. I wanted a sweet & simple custom tooltip, but nothing I found seemed to be smart enough for what I needed.
Tool Tip
Browsers will automatically display a tooltip when you provide a
title attribute. Internet Explorer will also use the alt attribute. But, in this tutorial I'm going to show you how to quickly write a jQuery plugin that will replace the typical browser tooltip with something a little flashier.
Balloon pop
This one has a little bit extra to my previous demonstration. Links in the pop-ups.The method is based on my drop-down and flout menus whereby Internet Explorer can be made to recognise nested links by using tables.
Proto Tip2
Prototip allows you to easily create both simple and complex tooltips using thePrototype javascript framework.
Jquery Tools
The new jQuery Tools book by Alex Libby explores the library in a precise and structured fashion. If you are getting started on jQuery Tools or looking for better ways to use the library, this book will be your ally.
Practical jQuery Image Tool Tips
It displays a tooltip image when user hover on the thumbnail with fadein and out effect. it's a useful script for your website.

Things the auditor saw and what you can do to make sure they don't see them again
By Roxana Bradescu on Feb 17, 2009
CIO Insight put together this great security slideshow: 10 Things the Security Auditor Saw based on Deloitte's 6th Annual Global Security Survey discussing the top priorities and problems revealed by internal and external audits.
Top on the list was excessive access rights. Often times organizations grant individuals or applications access to more information then they really need to perform their function. Since databases are the primary repositories for information in most organizations, this is actually most often the case at the database level. This is exactly why Oracle developed Oracle Database Vault. With Oracle Database Vault organizations can enforce least privilege by setting up protection realms inside their database that restrict access to data to any user, including privileged database users such as DBAs or applications with DBA privileges. So for example using Oracle Database Vault, an organization can allow a DBA to manage a database without actually being able to read or change the information that in that database. Oracle Database Vault does not require any changes to existing applications so it represents a very cost-effective and easy to deploy way to remediate this issue.
Second on the list was segregation of duties since lack of segregation of duties allows people to circumvent controls. Oracle Database Vault also enforces segregation of duties. Out of the box, Oracle Database Vault separates responsibilities and functions that conflict with one another such as database account creation, privilege grants, and other database management functions. Oracle Audit Vault can also be used as a detective control for segregation of duties by allowing a separate organization or IT auditor to monitor database activity across all Oracle and non-Oracle databases in the organization. Oracle Audit Vault can detect and alert on unauthorized activities such as account creation or access to application data that circumvents the application by any user even privileged users.
Third on the list was access control to ensure users only have access to the systems and information they need to do their jobs. Managing user access to systems can be achieved at the enterprise level using an identity management solution or at the database level using an Oracle Database Vault "connect" rule. But restricting system access is not enough since it's not just the system we're trying to protect - we need to protect the information. Organizations need to look at database controls to ensure users only have access to the information that they need to do their job. With Oracle Database Vault you can setup command rules that take into account multiple factors such as time of day, application being used to access information in the database, where the application is running, etc. to determine whether to grant access to information. For example, access to HR information might only be granted during business hours to HQ users accessing the data through the HR application. Users trying to access that data using an ad-hoc reporting tool or from a remote location would be denied access. Oracle Advanced Security can also be used for strong authentication to restrict access to the database to users that have been issued a PKI certificate or a physical device like an OTP token or smart card.
Number four on the list was lack of audit trails/logging with number seven being lack of review of audit trails. As you can see from past blog posts, between 30-50% of the folks we survey still don't have database auditing turned on and many who do don't don't actually monitor the database trail. Everyone should have native auditing turned on and be monitoring for at least the basic stuff like failed logins, DDL changes, direct access to sensitive/data, etc. Of course if no one is looking at that audit trail that's not going to help a lot. Again this is where you want to consider the use of Oracle Audit Vault. With Oracle Audit you can automate the collection and analysis of that audit data. You can setup alerts on exceptions and you can centrally manage audit policies across multiple databases to make sure you are generating audit trails for all your databases.
Number six was excessive developer access to production data and number nine was the use of production data in testing. We already talked about how user access to systems can be restricted so you can keep developers out of production environments, but the challenge is really around keeping production data out of development environments. With Oracle Data Masking, sensitive production data such as credit card or social security numbers can be replaced with realistic values, allowing production data to be safely used for development, testing, or sharing with out-sourcing partners or off-shore organizations for other non-production purposes. Oracle Data Masking uses a library of templates and format rules, consistently transforming data in order to maintain referential integrity for applications.
So if your auditor saw any of these issues, you can make sure they don't see them again.

S.L. father-son team gets U-Turned, comes in 4th during 8th leg of 'The Amazing Race'
"I can't believe Brandon and Rachel U-Turned Dave and Connor. That makes zero sense to me," said Jet McCoy, who was surprised he didn't get U-Turned. "Leg 8, it looks like people are starting to play dirty."
Cutbirth and Wayne also arrived, and their ire was short-lived as they worked with the others to finish the donkeys. They had gotten hung up trying to put the crate that had held the pieces on the back of a wooden donkey, and Temory and Zadran went to do "Donkey Run." The O'Learys told them what the last part was, too.
"Even though they U-Turned us, my hat to Dave and Connor," Temory said. "Dave is an extremely classy man. ... They helped us tremendously this leg."
When they got to La Badia di Orvieto, the challenge was a Road Block at a monastery where one of the team members had to copy a page from an ancient manuscript, including the writing, and put gold leaf on it.
Neither father nor son wanted to do the challenge, and each tried to convince the other to do it. Connor O'Leary ended up doing it.
Villegas tried to apologize to them. "Of course they're mad," he told Rachel as they finished and left the monastery.
"They know you're so young and have spring in your step, that's why they're after you," Cord McCoy told Dave O'Leary as they waited for their teammates. "They think you're a threat."
But at one point, Connor thought he wasn't going to get it right and would have to take a penalty.
"It was a stressful situation. My handwriting is nothing special to begin with, so to do calligraphy was on a whole new level," Connor said. "It was taking a long time. I was worried that I was running out of time."
After the Afghanimals finished, Temory went back to make sure Connor O'Leary didn't need any help. And his illumination passed with an "it's good" from the monk.
From there, the teams had to drive to the Funicular, a cable railcar, and go to Piazza del Duomo and the cathedral where host Phil Keoghan was waiting at the Pit Stop.
Villegas and Reilly were first, the McCoys were second and the Afghanimals were third.
The singers and the O'Learys ended up almost getting lost on the way to the Funicular. The O'Learys were fourth, and singers Cutbirth and Wayne were fifth.
"We got a U-Turn; that just really shocked me," Dave O'Leary told Keoghan at the Pit Stop.
"," Connor said. "We're coming for them."
Dave is a prostate cancer survivor and Connor is a testicular cancer survivor, and both are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Holladay 25th Ward, Salt Lake Holladay South Stake.
The O'Learys were on season 22 a year ago, and at the end of the second leg, Dave O'Leary injured his leg running to the mat. The pair continued to race with Dave on crutches, but ultimately they had to withdraw from the race.
Harlem Globetrotters Herbert "Flight Time" Lang, 37, and Nate "Big Easy" Lofton, 32, were the last team to the donkey Detours as they stopped several times to ask for directions. They tried both of the Detours before finally completing "Donkey Run."
They were last to the Pit Stop and were eliminated. It was their third time on the Race and their 31st leg.
"The Amazing Race: All Stars" airs Sunday evenings on CBS.

By Justine Moore
My second day at the Built Ford Tough AQHYA World Championship Show was packed full of excitement and surprises. The schedule for August 7 included several halter finals as well as the trail and reining preliminaries. Even though I wouldn't have competed in any of these events, watching them was a great opportunity to learn new things about classes that I don't normally participate in or even have time to watch.
The trail preliminaries started early in the Performance Arena and continued throughout the day. It seemed like the trail pattern was extremely challenging, including tight turns in small boxes and backing a "V" shape through poles.
I have only competed in trail once, and I got completely lost among the poles, which all looked the same to me, so at first I was impressed by everyone who managed to make it through the lengthy pattern. But after watching numerous patterns and listening to the exhibitors' scores, I developed a more discerning eye and soon I was even able to somewhat accurately predict how many points an exhibitor would be penalized for a mistake like knocking over a raised pole or a rough transition.
Because of the high level of difficulty of the course, I did not see any perfect patterns, but there were several exhibitors who were able to elegantly yet cautiously navigate the complex pattern and receive high enough scores to get called back to the finals.
My experience watching trail yesterday made me have even more respect for the exhibitors who show in this class. Not only do they have to complete classic horsemanship maneuvers such as turns, transitions and lead changes, but they also have to regulate their horse's speed and striding to make it through the pattern with the least number of penalties possible.
Watching the reining preliminaries was also a new experience for me. Though at first I was alarmed by how quickly the exhibitors were running in circles around the arena, I quickly realized that there was nothing like the exhilarating feeling of watching a horse build speed during a run down and then slide to a stop. I also noticed how much control the exhibitors had to have over their horses to be able to execute difficult maneuvers such as running two large, fast circles and then slowing down in the center for a smaller, slower circle.
AQHA teamed with some of the best-known and well-respected AQHA Professional Horsemen, judges and exhibitors in Charlie Cole, Leslie Lange and Jim Searles, to bring you the "Showing to Win: Trail" DVD. Order your copy today!
It seemed like they had to be able to completely trust their horses to let them run down the center of the arena and then expect them to do a sliding stop on command. The fast speeds at which the reiners perform many of their maneuvers only add to the degree of difficulty in this challenging class.
Though I obviously miss showing, it was refreshing to be able to have time to watch classes that I do not usually compete in. I have a newfound respect for both trail and reining, and I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to see some of the world's best youth exhibitors compete in these classes.
Next I am looking forward to watching showmanship, one of my favorite events, as well as western pleasure, equitation over fences, working hunter and jumping preliminaries.
My experience so far:

Liam Neeson returns to the big screen in a crime thriller, a who's-doing-it, in "Non-Stop," the intended blockbuster from the new Universal Pictures.
Neeson portrays Bill Marks, a broken man struggling with the challenge of loneliness and loss. Even with the weight of grief he must move onward. In an effort to be non-stop in his life, he boards a plane.
Apprehension underscores the mystery as a third of the characters are afraid to fly, including a little girl, Becca (Quin McColgan) who, by the time the villain and its motive are revealed, you wish had been the culprit all along. It would have been far more interesting.
But until that deflating moment when we reach that thoughtlessly boring climax the movie provides enough ambiguity and action to keep us entertained.
Marks is on a plane and begins receiving texts, viewable by the audience, threatening to kill a person every twenty minutes. In true Neeson fashion he commences to breaking backs, breaking necks, breaking noses while brooding over the past that created the very loneliness he's trying to escape in that crowded plane.
After the first person dies there's a feeling that this movie is pretty awesome, taking a unpredictable path toward completion. The texts keep coming and along with the hero we scan the plane time and again and no one is the doer and then everyone, including that little girl and her stuffed bear, becomes a suspect.
But, that is the extent of the story. We just keep riding that premise toward every beat and reversal until we can't take it anymore. The subplot helps us along, the supporting tale of a man who lost his cool, his family and his identity.
The subtle use of visuals to sell the heroes blurred and fractured mind is one of the rounding bright spots before the downfall. The ending will disappoint. It's a tidy little bow on a movie that's meant to explode. The climax is ill conceived for such a riveting action concept.
All in all, see the film. Despite the climatic oversight it will be a blast!

our 22 year old house has cedar clapboards. We had it power washed perhaps 6 years ago and were looking to redo it again as it has lots of black spots we assume to be mold or dirt. A carpenter friend said we needed to do some type of stain as he thought the clapboards were deteriorating due to sun and rain. One contractor says, we need to sand the whole house, power wash and then do 2 coats of stain. Another says, forget the sanding, just power wash and paint. The helpful person down at the hardware store says, forget painting, just power wash, cedar does not need to be treated. We are thinking about doing this ourselves over the course of a few months but are really confused about whether cedar needs anything other than washing.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
i think cedar is fine with just washing but a seal coat or painting just means less frequency for washing. We did a cedar porch and didn't seal the first year and it faded quickly. Then we just power washed and clear coated it the next year. We've done about every 3 years to keep it looking nice and prevent water damage.
Cedar is naturally resistant to decay, but will still rot away eventually if left untreated. Wood that has been left to weather has a thin layer of unstable wood fiber on the surface. You have to remove this layer and get down to sound wood if you want a coat of finish to last. That said, the whole business of finishing exterior wood is tricky. If you apply a penetrating oil finish you'll have to recoat it almost every year. The advantage is that you won't be building up a film on the surface that can eventually peel off. If you want to keep the cedar look, I would suggest a high quality finish like Sikkens. Follow their instructions for surface preparation and application. If you decide to paint follow the contractors recommendation and sand and power wash. Then make sure to use a high quality primer that will block tannins. If you paint, be prepared to repaint every five years. Don't believe the hype about lifetime guarantee finishes.

The hockey world still is waiting for Zach Parise and Ryan Suter to decide their futures. Could the suspense come to an end Tuesday?
After spending two days huddled with his agents in their office in Mississauga, Ont., Parise and his fiancé were scheduled to fly back to Minnesota. Prior to taking off, Parise told NHL.com via text that he still isn't sure when he will have a decision, but "we are taking our time and making sure we cover all the angles."
Parise, who reportedly is mulling contract offers from New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Minnesota and Chicago, also told NHL.com via text Monday night that while his "agents have done a great job of showing me all of the information," the process of sifting through the contract offers and making a decision on his future has been "very crazy and stressful."

The job of vice president of the United States is anything but glamorous, but you would think that a guy who runs around wearing an American flag lapel pin and says he represents our interests would at least find time to travel this country talking up the importance of finding jobs for 20 million Americans who can't find one.
Instead, he found time to travel to Mexico where he carried the amnesty banner for his boss who shows the same disrespect for the rule of law and our national sovereignty as do the 11.7 million people living here illegally.
In part, here's what your vice president said about what would be the 8th amnesty since 1986:
"(It is) literally going to shape the future for my country for the next 10, 20, 30, 40 years."
You bet it would. For example, in just the first 10 years work permits would be given to 33 million foreign workers. Like to compete, especially in our lousy job market? Joe Biden has a treat in store for you. In 40 years? If you call yourself an environmentalist, knock yourself out because we will have added 100 million people to our already stressed-out population.
For most Americans and their descendants - and immigrants - that's not going to be a very bright future. But for the Bidens and Obamas of this nation, you can bet that they are taking steps as we speak to make sure their families will be insulated from what is popularly know these days as "unintended consequences."
Abandoned by their own government, the American people have but two choices at this point in our history where it will be decided once and for all whether the principles on which this nation was founded will remain intact. Those choices are, as President John Adams wrote, to be "timid" or "true blue."

Prey (La Proie) Movie Reviews
Prey (La Proie)
Release Date: Jun 07, 2013
Genre: Action/AdventureSuspense/Thriller
Rating: (R)
User reviews on Prey (La Proie)
I did not like this film and I do not think it is worth seeing in the theaters. It is a thriller about Franck Adrien (Albert Dupontel) who is a bank robber convicted of a heist and sentenced to six months in prison, shares a cell with Jean Louis Morel. Once Morel gets released from behind bars, Adrien learns that Morel is really a sadistic serial killer who now knows private details about Adrien's life. Adrien must break out of prison and catch Morel before he gets to Adrien's family. I found the film to be full of cliches and I also thought it was unoriginal and quite dull. I did enjoy the pace of the film and I thought that the end was pretty intense and interesting. Overall, I think this film is better off watched at the comfort of your home.

The Case of the Vanishing Crucifix Earns League Letter
March 27, 1995 by Bill
Filed under Catalyst Online, Features
Dr. Ron Collins
Vice President of Academic Affairs and Provost
Eastern Michigan University
Room 106, Welch Hall
Ypsilanti,MI 48197
Dear Dr. Collins:
It has come to my attention that Professor Joanna Scott, Chairperson of the Department of Political Science, has removed a crucifix that was affixed to the wall above the desk of graduate assistant Thomas C. Skrobola. Mr. Skrobola found the crucifix in his desk with a note that said that it had been removed "since it is a personal statement and not an expression of university policy (i.e. Ist Amendment)." (Italics in. the original.)
As the president of the nation's largest Catholic civil rights organization., and as the author of several books and articles on the First Amendment, I would be most interested in seeing a copy of the university policy that Professor Scott was referencing.
Thank you for your consideration..
William A. Donohue, Ph.D.
