One of the sports items we like is the skateboard and love to watch the kids when they go sailing past on them in the neighborhood in Nashville. We especially like to watch the youngsters at the community skate parks or on TV when they seem to have no boundaries and can do such amazing flips and turns. It is a form of exercise we perhaps may never try for ourselves, but we can see the power it holds for skateboarders.
We have seen city sidewalks turned into ramps for the skate-board inspired crew around us, and all we can say sometimes is 'watch out'!
But this story 'takes the cake' in craziness, we think. The attached video is 'Thief On Skateboard Nabs TV From Florida Target Store', and we could hardly believe it when we heard about it. How did he avoid running into other people? Did he also steal the skateboard, else how did he manage to carry around a skateboard in the store without someone looking at him like he was crazy?
How did he get through the front doors without stopping? Lots of questions to be answered here. Check out the video and leave us a message in the space below.

Scoring all new legislation
December 28, 2013
When members of Congress get copies of bills under consideration, they also receive estimates of the measures' costs — although that fact certainly doesn't seem to do much good in controlling......
bush = obama, obama = bush. there really hasn't been a noticeable difference aside from obamacare. which pretty much trumped anything Bush pulled off.

Barack Obama campaigned for the Democratic nomination during 2008 by attacking his opponents, especially Hillary Clinton, for originally endorsing Bush's Iraq-war policies. He gave the impression he would reverse such policies. However, Obama adopted the main parts of the Bush policy for Iraq, naming Clinton to the State Department and keeping Robert Gates (Bush's Defense Secretary), and David Petraeus (Bush's ranking general in Iraq), as well as implementing the "surge" of military force. By 2010, U.S. forces had switched from combat to a training role in Iraq and they left in 2011.

Political Relevance While fiscal conservatism has become a buzzword in Washington, DC, much of the Republican base remains committed to its ideals. Unfortunately for its proponents, many who claim to be fiscal conservatives have turned out to be exactly the opposite.
Fiscal conservatism has little to do with social or "wedge" issues, and it is therefore not uncommon to hear social conservatives, paleoconservatives or even Democrats refer to themselves as fiscal conservatives as well. As blasphemous as some Republicans may find them, the cold hard facts are that President Bill Clinton spent less money than even Ronald Reagan, when adjusting for inflation and removing the military budget from the equation.
Clinton, however, has been the exception not the rule. By and large, most Democrats still believe in paying for outcomes by using public money, and their records prove it.

Modern fiscal conservatives remain weary of government spending and are often more Libertarian than Republican. They advocate lowering the federal budget, paying off the national debt and withdrawing military forces from overseas in an effort to curtail military spending.
Although fiscal conservatives of today remain pro-business, they are hesitant to increase spending as a way to spur the economy. They believe the best way to promote a healthy economy is to cut taxes, reduce government waste and curtail frivolous federal programs. They believe social services should be funded with money from philanthropists and advocate tax breaks for those who contribute to worthy charitable organizations.
Criticisms: There are many critics of fiscal conservatives. Most notable among these are liberal politicians who believe the primary responsibility of US government is to use tax money to regulate the economy and provide social services.

Agree Chad. That pension cut was from ryan. Defense workers pay is the only defense cut reds would agree to. We were warned long ago about the mil. ind. complex. They r 2 short on patriotism and too long on money grubbing fingers. Our economy would turn on a dime if we would promote U.S. jobs and U.S. manufacture. Raising the min. wage is a start. Selling overseas is great; investing in manufacturing overseas is killing us.

I'm all for defense cuts that actually involve cutting waste. defense cuts to pensions and such so that it is just used to prove a point is azzinine. we all know the defense dept. could be reduced an enormous amount. but let's not gut the thing so that we have to spend a ton to rebuild it for our safety like Reagan had to do. That was beyond azzinine. But let's not stop at defense. there are several departments that could be closed entirely. But above all this we need to stop all funding to foreign nations until our deficit is erased. that is the epitome of azzininity.

The republican party only pays lip service to jobs. High unemployment keeps wages low--their goal. We can pay 4 nearly anything with defense cuts, but their position is NO. When reds get behind the country instead of money; we will see big change. Sleep time in the live-in chinese factory. no gain except 4 bain. OUR economy is DRIVEN by good paying jobs period--look at western ND.

This if passed will at least give the legislators plenty of time to read the bill before voting. Currently, you can amend and don't need another report because the spending is the same, but if you have to project jobs, well that means you need a projection on every amendment. If they really hate the bill sponsor, they will pass this.

Who says dogs and cats can't get along? In this video provided by Kedric Becker, we see his adorable cat Farina as she looks for a comfortable resting place and finds one in her pet friend and companion Maeby. Maeby looks nonchalant as Farina adjusts herself, ultimately reclining on Maeby. This is one patient Husky, as Maeby seems to appear perfectly content snuggling against Farina.
Becker's video has become a viral sensation and shares that Farina and Maeby often cuddle together in cold weather.
As many pet owners can attest, it's amazing how harmonious animals can become when they share living quarters.
Check out this adorable video of Farina the cat and Maeby the Husky as they both drift off for a nice, comfortable nap.

06.15.2010 / It is time for the Cox Classic.
As July ends, Omahans get ready for one of the city's most prestigious (and fun) summer sporting events, the Cox Classic. This year, the 14th annual tournament will once again bring in some of the best golfers in the country to Omaha.
First National Bank is a proud sponsor of the Cox Classic not only because it's a fun event for the city, but it has an impact too - raising millions of dollars for local charities. Each year our employees are excited to help out and be a part of the event.
The Cox Classic is one of those "city wide" events that generates excitement all around Omaha - drawing crowds of more than 80,000. Whether it's watching the tournament at Champions Run, bringing the kids to Family Fun Day or stopping by the infamous 19th Hole Party, be sure to take advantage of at least one of the many ways to participate throughout the week. If you're looking for events to attend, the entire schedule is available at coxclassic.com.
There is a pretty impressive line-up of athletes this year, so be sure to tune in and get ready to see the players in the heat of the competition. First National Bank is excited to host the Pro-Am on Wednesday, July 22nd, which will feature several players to watch, including:
Michael Sim - the 24-year old Aussie made it in the top 100 after his strong (and first) U.S. Open performance just four weeks ago. If he has a similar performance this weekend, you can keep track of Sim at the PGA Tour next month. (He's also ranked first for the Cox Classic!)
Kevin Johnson - Another potential PGA Tour contender, he marks his 20th anniversary as a professional golfer. Johnson recently had an impressive round last month when he took a trophy home from the Knoxville Open.

Marquez, new king at lightweights
Houston, we have a problem: Marquez kayos Diaz in nine; John retains belt in draw with Juarez
Ringside by Byron Spurlock and Jose Reyes
Photos by Chris Cozzone - FightWireImages.com
Houston fans might not have been happy, but fight fans outside Texas witnessed a 'Fight of the Year' candidate, and the best doubleheader televised in years, last night at the Toyota Center in Houston.
The bouts, televised on HBO and promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, were witnessed by 14,571 fans who were rooting for hometown favorites Juan Diaz and Rocky Juarez.
In the main event, proving himself the new king of lightweights, Mexico City's Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KOs) scored a spectacular ninth round knockout over former unified champ Diaz (34-2, 17 KOs) to claim the vacant WBA, WBO and IBO lightweight titles while retaining his Ring Magazine honors.
The crowd was on the feet before the action even began as both fighters made their entrances to the ring. A visitor not knowing Diaz was from Houston would have mistaken that this was Marquez's backyard just by the sheer eruption of the crowd chanting the name of their top Mexican fighter.
Diaz looked full of emotion as the opening bell rang, and he didn't waste any time jumping on Marquez. Both fighters took their turns trading combinations back and forth with Diaz using his aggression to back Marquez against the ropes. Diaz finished off the round with a staredown of Marquez.
Fans didn't have to wait long for the action to continue as it spilled into the second round, Diaz landing two early left hands back-to-back that sent Marquez against the ropes. Backed by chants of 'DI-AZ! DI-AZ!' the "Baby Bull" continued to charge at Marquez, pure youth and raw energy driving a punch output that had the veteran, for the most part, on the defense.
But as the third round opened, Marquez landed several thunderous right hands that, momentarily at least, worked to slow down the ever-forward Diaz.
Many ringside observers began to wonder if Diaz could continue this punching output; if he was going to be gassed by the time the later rounds came into play. Diaz, not known for his punching power, continued to trade punch for punch with Marquez but it appeared that the heavier-handed Mexican was now getting the best of those exchanges. Diaz's aggression made the difference, though, and the action continued to go back and forth.
As the fight began to approach the middle rounds, the Houston crowd and, perhaps, the boxing world, in general, might have felt that they could be witnessing the legendary fighter Marquez becoming just a bit slower for he was beginning to get outworked.
As the action continued into the fifth round, Diaz continued to pour out a sheer volume of punches against Marquez, sending him against the ropes.
Marquez began to bleed on the right side of his eye from a punch landed in the sixth round. Diaz knew that this was his time to step up his attack-if that was humanly possible. Cutting off the ring, Diaz continued his relentless attack to Marquez's head and body. It looked like Marquez was trying to field off punches that were coming from every which direction.
But as the fight progressed, instead of getting weaker by the "Baby Bull's" charges, Marquez only got stronger.
In the seventh, he rattled off two sets of unanswered combinations to the head of Diaz. Warrior that he is, Diaz came right back, pinning Marquez up against the ropes—a familiar place for Marquez in the first half of the fight.
Both fighters showed cuts in the eighth, but it was a huge right from Marquez that signaled the turning of the fight. Diaz wobbled from a power shot. Seeing the younger fighter hurt, Marquez did not waste any time jumping on him. Diaz finished the round on shaky legs, somehow finding the strength to fight back when it appeared he could go down.
Marquez was all over Diaz in the ninth round, dropping him early with an accumulation of punches. Diaz made the count but Marquez continued his attack when the fight resumed, not letting him off the hook. Once again, Diaz went down, from a devastating left uppercut that stretched him out on the canvas at 2:40. –Byron Spurlock
John survives scare in Houston
In a make-or-break fight and his fifth attempt at a world title, Houston's Rocky Juarez (28-4-1, 20 KOs) challenged reigning WBA Featherweight Champion Chris "The Dragon" John (42-0-2, 22 KOs), of Indonesia, only to come out on the short end with a draw.
In his previous challenges, to Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez, Juarez had failed to clinch a belt. This time around, dropping down to featherweight from super featherweight, Juarez showed the stuff of champions, though he had to settle for a draw decision, all three judges scoring the bout even.
The first began as a tactical round with both combatants exchanging jabs to create openings. John landed crisp jabs using his distance and reach advantage over the shorter Juarez. It was close round to call but the edge had to be for the champion.
The tempo and rhythm of the fight picked up in the second round with the crowd chanting "ROCK-Y! ROCK-Y!"
Juarez obliged the crowd by applying relentless pressure on John, landing well-placed body shots. John attempted to land his own but was sidetracked by Referee Lawrence Cole who warned him for what he thought was a low blow. In a round more decisive than the first, Juarez appeared to hold the upper hand.
In the beginning of the third, John landed some good combinations, then hold, thereafter employing a strategy to nullify Juarez's pressure style of fighting. Juarez, undeterred, continued to pressure while attacking and landing a looping right. John, unfazed, caught Juarez with an uppercut coming in.
Juarez continued to press forward and make the fight as the energy in the arena gathered more momentum. At the end of the round, Juarez connected with a two-punch combination.
At the start of the fourth, Rocky, again, got caught coming in with straight rights and uppercuts that would start to swell his right eye. But just when it seemed that John had solved the puzzle, Rocky would land a right that revved up the crowd. The champion, however, shoed poise, and he continued his countering style, setting up punches and moving side-to-side from harm's way. A one-two connect formula worked well for John as the fourth came to a close.
In the fifth, John was warned for hitting behind the head by Ref Cole. Jabs, one-two's and the occasional clinches continued to work for the champ, keeping Juarez at bay and nullifying the Houstonian's pressure.
Rocky landed a right hook that seemed to faze John, who returned with his own assault by way of an overhand right that opened up a cut on Juarez's left eye. When the bell rang, Juarez's cutman, Joe Chavez, went to work on the left eyebrow—a trouble spot in the past for Juarez, who'd undergone two surgeries already.
Chavez stopped the bleed and Juarez came out without a drop of blood. Fighting in close proximity, the two hit and clinched at one another. Toward mid-round, Juarez's eye cut opened again. Spurred on, John landed an opportunistic overhand right on the back of Rocky's head that dropped the former Olympian. 'No knockdown' was declared by the ref, who ruled it a push or slip. The bell ended with Juarez heading back to his corner showing a look of concern and discomfort.
As the seventh round began, John was back on his bouncing toes with a look of confidence. Sensing victory within grasp, John put on a boxing clinic, connecting at apparent will and slipping Rocky's punches while countering effectively. John displayed a great exhibition of head movement while using his distance with a snapping jab and straight rights galore that would start to back up Rocky. John had appeared to be on a three-consecutive round sweep.
Heart can not be measured outside of the ring and Rocky was showing his hometown crowd a full plate of what he was made of in the eighth round. This was, by far, was one of Rocky's best rounds, and he backed up John to the ropes, connecting and wiping the smile off John's face. Rocky let his hands go, sensing the fight had gotten away from him. The momentum now shifted back to Juarez.
In the ninth, Juarez returned the favor, opening up a cut on John's left eyebrow, with a solid shot. Rocky was reenergized upon seeing the blood drip from his opponent's face. Sensing the turn of tides, Rocky continued to apply relentless pressure with a true warrior's mentality. John did not back down, however, and Juarez's face started to show the evidence of a hard-fought battle, his cheekbones and eyes swollen. John landed effectively towards the middle and end of the round, possibly taking the round with his counterpunching.
The see-saw battle returned in the center of the ring for the tenth round as Rocky began the round backing up his opponent. His back to the ropes, John was on the receiving end of two- and three-punch combinations. Sticking and moving, John moved the fight to the center of the ring, landing flush, clean punches. At the end of the round, John seemed to be in control and his conditioning was a key factor going in to the championship rounds.
With two rounds to win a world title, Juarez connected with a big straight right at the beginning of the 11th. But showing why he was unbeaten in 42 fights and 12 defenses, John displayed a rock-solid chin off of which Juarez's punches ricocheted—until a big left hook to the body appeared to have the champ in trouble. Sensing that finally a dent was created in the armor of John, Juarez pressed the fight, finding more success closing the round with right hooks. The champion backpedaled, in apparent trouble as the bell rang.
The twelfth and final round saw Juarez pressing and John on his bicycle. Juarez landed—John continued to show a solid chin. With less than a minute left, the two exchanged heavily, with Juarez having the edge.
The elusive world title was not meant to be, for when the scores were announced, all three judges had it 114-114.
Fightnews had the fight scored for Juarez, 116-112 to 115-113, depending upon the writer.
"I started off late, I guess," said Juarez. "I gave up the middle rounds. But I was able to box Chris John, regardless the fact that he was the boxer. I felt that I was able to outjab.
"He caught me with some good right hands and cut me. But the cut didn't affect me. I knew the cut was deep and I just felt I wasn't going to let the cut bother me. I was going to continue, to fight my heart out and win the belt."
The defending champion John wore a smile from ear to ear at the postfight press conference, apparently satisfied with the draw.
Promoter Oscar De La Hoya brought up the possibility of a rematch, congratulating both fighters. – Jose Reyes
Garcia goes distance with Favela
In an eight-round welterweight bout, Danny Garcia (11-0, 7 KOs) defeated Cristian Favela (15-18-6, 9 KOs) by unanimous decision.
Garcia pulled out what looked to be a tougher fight than he bargained for as he battled Favela for eight full rounds. Both fighters traded shots back and forth the entire fight with each fighter having his moments in the ring. The longer the fight continued, Favela, despite being the underdog in the match, looked to gain some hope of a puncher's chance against the undefeated Garcia.
Garcia still managed to come out ahead, the cards reading 80-72 twice and 79-73 –Byron Spurlock
Jacobs KOs Cruz
Super middleweight Daniel Jacobs (14-0, 13 KOs) had absolutely no problem with Jose Cruz (12-16-3, 4 KOs), knocking him out at 2:59 of round one.
Jacobs made quick work of his opponent Cruz, overpowering the older, smaller fighter with power shots to the head and body. Jacobs unleashed punishing power shots that sent Cruz down to the canvas twice in the round with Cruz not wanting to get up from the second knockdown.
Referee Robert Gonzales tolled off a 10-count as Cruz sat on the canvas with a look of defeat. –Byron Spurlock
Williams TKOs Partillo
Lightweight Hylon Williams Jr. (8-0, 3 KOs) defeated late sub Edgar Partillo (3-1, 2 KOs) by TKO in round six.
The two undefeated fighters put on quite a show, but Williams' slick, elusive boxing style and hand speed proved too much for the frustrated-but-determined Partillo. Alternating attacker and counter-puncher, Williams controlled the action in the ring the entire night. Amazingly, Williams made Partillo quit on the stool at the end of round five, even with coming into the fight with sore hands. –Byron Spurlock
Charlo defeats Serrano
Junior middleweight Jermell Charlo (6-0, 3 KOs) defeated Juan Serrano (2-5-1, 2 KOs) by unanimous decision, with scores of 40-36 x 3.
In a workmanlike fashion, Charlo outboxed Serrano in each round of their four rounder. Once Charlo began to establish his jab, he clearly took command, putting his opponent in trouble while trying to avoid his straight lefts. –Byron Spurlock
Vazquez upset
In the sole upset of the night, junior welterweight Hector Vasquez (1-1) lost by TKO at 2:55 of round one, to Ramon Flores (3-4-1).
The Texas native was rocked since the opening bell by Flores who landed clean hooks. Vazquez tasted the canvas twice in the first round. Unable to fully recover, Referee Bobby Gonzales stopped the bout. –Byron Spurlock
Opening bouts
Jr. middleweight Michael Anderson (4-0-1, 2 KOs) defeated Oscar Rosales (4-4-1, 1 KO) by KO at 1:60 of round one.
In a four-round jr. welter bout, Darryl Hayes (1-0) won his pro debut against Gerardo Carillo (0-4-1) by unanimous decision. Scores were 40-36 twice and 39-37. –Byron Spurlock

Are you a good starter but terrible finisher? Do you have good ideas but find the work to achieve them exhausting? I felt like that writing my book about online classes.
I know, I also thought the same finishing college - a life long dream that eluded me for a decade.
I finished college, but not after learning several surefire ways to trick my mind into doing what my body didn't want.
Visualizing the result
Finishing college required visualizing myself walking down the aisle at graduation, filled with cheering people and classmates.
I envisioned my name called over the intercom. Silly, I know but visualizing the end result pushed me through tough times popping up virtually every day.
Start and finish small
With a concrete vision, I bit off only what I could chew. I didn't try to complete more than one course at a time and as a result, I didn't overwhelm myself. I felt comfortable and motivated to complete the course at hand for an extended period of time.
I maintained a consistent pace in the beginning and at the end.
Reward yourself often
I like rewards. I'm sure you do too. I make every effort to enjoy the fruits of my labor each paycheck by buying myself something. I developed this while in college.
After each completed class, I treated myself to a beer and special dinner, acknowledging my hard work and commitment.
This was an excellent motivator at the start of each course as envisioned myself relaxing at a dinner table, scarfing down good food.
Take it one day at a time
College and life is a marathon not a sprint, so view don't overload each day with a mountain to do's. Write out a few things to accomplish each day, complete them and cross them out.
Do it all over the next day, and the day after that.
Stay focused on the day at hand. Avoid looking at the totality of life, a project or a class day one, instead chip away at the larger goal slowly but surely.
Build muscle memory
Do something long enough and you'll develop the ability to perform it without thinking. This is the essence of muscle memory.
The mind controls the body, thus focus on building processes in your mind. Once developed and practiced, the body will naturally do what the mind tells it to do - without thinking about it.
Similar to putting on pants each morning, where years of repetition lead to second nature, so should our actions toward goals we establish.

I was going through list (the first post)...
I changed some of the settings and some other things in the system menu, but somewhere for some reason, the font of most applications changed, and now they seem thinner and don't seem to render correctly:
I went through what I think was all the options I changed and can't seem to bring back the correct/better rendering.
I didn't change anything in the font management.

During a Congressional Hearing on Wednesday, James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence requested Edward J. Snowden, the former intelligence contractor, to return a massive trove of classified documents, reports the Washington Post.
Clapper spoke before a Senate panel, and outlined an array of dangers to American interests including a rise in cyber threats and the emergence of Syria as a magnet for Islamist militants linked to al-Qaeda.
In his opening remarks, Clapper gave a stern criticism of Snowden in which he described the former contractor for the National Security Agency as a hypocrite who has severely undermined U.S. security.
Clapper proceeded to cite a list of areas endangered by Snowden's actions. Snowden has caused allies to curtail cooperation with the United States, enabled terrorist groups to alter the ways they communicate, and put lives of U.S. intelligence operatives at risk.
Since Snowden proclaimed that he has accomplished his mission, Clapper said. 'If that is so, I call on him and his accomplices to facilitate the return of the remaining stolen documents that have not yet been exposed to prevent even more damage to U.S. security.'
In reference to the unnamed accomplices, a spokesman said Clapper was 'referring to anyone who is assisting Edward Snowden to further threaten our national security through the unauthorized disclosure of stolen documents related to lawful foreign intelligence collection programs.'
At one point, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) decried what he described as a 'culture of misinformation' among U.S. intelligence officials, since Clapper had testified last year that there wasn't secret surveillance on citizens.
The 2014 world-wide threat assessment report that was delivered to the Senate committee on Wednesday warned that political turmoil in the Middle East was accelerating the atomization of the al-Qaeda terrorist network, with offshoots gaining strength in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Egypt.
Questions regarding spying upon U.S. citizens within the Unites States met with assurance that the CIA is not doing this action. CIA director Brennan stated in a carefully worded answer, 'I can assure the committee that the CIA follows the letter and the spirit of the law in terms of what CIA's authorities are.'
FBI Director James Comey acknowledged for the first time publicly that the bureau does not need a warrant to obtain Americans' cell site location information from carriers in intelligence investigations.
Comey said he understood privacy concerns about the program, but said it helps the bureau assess whether there is a broader terrorist cell or network in the United States in the aftermath of an attack like the bombing of the Boston Marathon. 'It allows us to do in minutes what would otherwise take us in hours,' Comey said.
In a separate development involving the NSA, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) will file a class-action lawsuit against the National Security Agency 'hopefully within the next week,' he said on Tuesday prior to the State of the Union address.
Sen. Paul also gave a preview to 2016 campaign issues when he cited that Hilary Clinton was a proponent of the surveillance.
'Has she said anything about privacy? She's been a big proponent of the surveillance state and the NSA,' stated Paul.
As an indication of the Republican Party position for 2016, The Republican National Committee approved a resolution last week with near-unanimous support condemning the agency's surveillance practices.
Please, view articles listed below in Author's suggestions and view the video atop this article with James Clapper before the Senate Committee.

Rich in detail and style, this taffeta ball gown is the perfect balance of drama and romance. Form-fitting taffeta bodice features dropped waist and all over ruching for a flattering look. Cascading floral appliques shape the breathtaking skirt. Chapel train. Fully lined. This dress is absolutely stunning on all body type, curvy to rail thin. It has only been worn once besides fittings, and was only worn for 8 hours. It was modified to fit with a sweetheart neckline with simple beading for embellishment. Instead of buttons and a zipper down the back it was modified with a corset back for a better fit. It has a cathedral length train with a french bustle.
I felt incredibly beautiful in this gown and I want someone else to feel that way too. I am including the veil which is the Vera Wang Two Tier Chapel Length Veil with lace Applique which came to $300 with tax, the petticoat will also be included (I don't recall the cost).

Both PC Perspective and Firing Squad managed to get their hands on an NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ graphics card surprisingly quickly.
Smells like...
We first broke news of the new 55nm G92 based GeForce 9800 GTX+ a couple days ago and evidently NVIDIA were saving it to reign in on AMD's parade with its launch of the HD 4000 series - Radeon HD 4850 in particular.
AMD still has a trick or two up its sleeve with 1GB versions of the 4850 coming out soon along with that other one you probably heard about, HD 4870 - you'll see that come out on June 25th... as long as AMD doesn't change its plans again.
Check out the early performance previews of the 9800 GTX+ over at PC Per and Firing Squad. We'll get our full review online just as soon as we get one, which probably won't be long.
I think VGA benchmarkers around the world need a rest for at least a few days or they may go on strike or something!

"We are happy to be investing in St. Clairsville and here in the community," said Gary M. Broadbent, assistant general counsel and media director for Murray Energy Corporation. "(The Rotary Club) are people who are involved in the community and many of whom are business leaders. Mr. Murray was a long-time member of the rotary and this is an opportunity to introduce ourselves to some good people."
Robert Murray, CEO of Murray Energy and a long-time rotary member, provided lunch for the rotary club along with a video presentation, narrated by Murray himself. The video detailed the process of longwall mining and how the Murray Energy Corp. makes the equipment it uses in the mines.

Robert Murray, CEO of Murray Energy and a long-time rotary member, front left, hosted the St. Clairsville Rotary Club meeting Tuesday. Murray Energy Corp. provided lunch for the rotary club along with a video presentation narrated by Murray.
"Rotary is very special to me," said Murray. "Belmont, Bethesda and Morristown rotaries, when they existed, offered to send me to medical school and they raised $12,500."
The rotaries offered Murray this chance as long as he came back to replace a doctor who was retiring.
At the same time, he also was awarded a mining engineer scholarship. The rotaries also provided him with 32 lawns to mow so that he could support his mother and father.
"I have been a rotary member in Bismarck, N.D., and Bethesda in the past," said Murray. "I have been a Rotarian more years than I have not been."
The lunch and video presentation were followed up by a tour of the new facility, led by Murray himself.

Gigi Gryce: Minority
Gigi Gryce (alto sax)
Gigi Gryce and the Jazz Lab Quintet (Original Jazz Classics OJCCD-1774-2)
Gigi Gryce (alto sax), Donald Byrd (trumpet), Wade Legge (piano), Wendell Marshall (bass), Art Taylor (drums).
Composed by Gigi Gryce.
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, NJ, February 27, 1957.
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
A considerable talent as a composer and altoist, Gigi Gryce produced a largely unnoticed discography that, although all recorded in a relatively short period throughout the 1950s, highlights some legit hard-bop gems. After touring with Lionel Hampton and freelancing with Clifford Brown, Thelonious Monk, and Max Roach in the early to mid '50s, Gryce landed two long-standing, largely concurrent gigs from 1955-1958 as a member of Oscar Pettiford's working band and as a leader of the Jazz Lab Quintet, which (usually) featured trumpeter Donald Byrd and drummer Art Taylor. Until a recent three-disc release of The Complete Jazz Lab sessions, this recording was the go-to Jazz Lab set, featuring sharp alto work from Gryce. Of special note on this version of the Gryce-penned standard, "Minority," is Byrd's compact, efficient, melodic solo (he would soon begin stretching out far more than he is here) and Art Taylor's interesting propulsion on beat four throughout some of the soloing

I have a few things that I've ticked off. I started a 101 things in 1001 days, which I've not updated for a while, but I have a few of my fairly bigger targets in progress at the moment that I'm pretty pleased with.
The first is the one I am most happy about. Last year I started studying for my degree. This was something I had wanted to do for years, but was never brave enough or had that much confidence in doing it. To start with I was a little unsure what subject to study. I loved Art at school, but I had barely done any painting since becoming a mum. So I was pretty sure I was a little rusty in that area. I then saw Art History and thought it was prefect. I loved history so I would be combining my love for both. I gave it a few days as I just wasn't completely sure. Then sat flicking through the channels and I just knew I should just do History. The amount of history channel recordings on my Sky+ was kind of a big hint that it was the right choice to make!
I passed the first year with great marks and I even surprised myself. School always felt hard work but with my degree I want to learn so it seems easy.
The second is another one in progress. It's learning to drive. Again for years, it was something I really wanted to do, however, in my previous relationship we were never financially settled for me to spend so much money on myself so it was put off. I always knew I would love driving, the sense of freedom is so alluring. I honestly can't wait to be driving, which shouldn't be too long. My driving instructor says I'm test ready, however Louth being a tiny place means I have to wait weeks for my test!
Lastly, it's a little bit boring, but it's getting my own finances sorted. I'm not where I want to be yet, but I'm heading in the right direction!

Great buy
"This shoes is prefect for my son! It fits COMFORTABLY which is hard to find with others. I'll encourage anyone to invest in one. However, the down side is that they fit small, so if your child wear a size 8, you'll have to get a size 9 in this."

I have written here and here before about the topic of bullying. Bullying is an on going problem in and out of school. So, I was especially encouraged to read there is a new computer game called Fear Not that is being piloted in Europe. The player takes on the role of an invisible friend of someone who is being bullied and helps his friend by discussing possible solutions and ways of coping. The advice the player gives affects the victim.
I like the role playing aspect of the game because it allows kids to explore strategies for dealing with the issue of bullying safely in the virtual world and then use the successful strategies in the actual world.

Elona, I can not find any information either in your blog or at any other site about strategies for eliminating bullying of the teacher by students,other than getting others involved. I guess consequences are it?
I would like to see some ideas to use in the classroom.This is the first year I've experienced this, and I've tried being tough, keeping them very actively involved, giving them plenty of assignments, and nothing is working. They want to laugh, talk, ignor my directions, and me,anything not to follow directions and do work. Thanks. Donna

Work Fit For All
This report helped the UK to fulfil its international treaty and convention obligations in respect of people with disabilities. It is cited in the EHRC submission under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and by the EHRC as proof that they are fulfilling their duty under the UN Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The EHRC has relied extensively on the report to demonstrate that it is fulfilling its own statutory role in respect of people with disabilities and recommendations from the report were incorporated into the 2010 Equality Act.
The report has received considerable attention from the providers of advice to employers and employees and shaped wider public debate through its dissemination by those, like disability campaigners, who already have a commitment to improving the situation of disabled employees, but also through the discussion of our research in the general media.

Mac: iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes fix

"But what's needed next is the additional layer of information that typically goes with music sold in brick-and-mortar stores: the packaging.
The new iTunes feature that lets those who buy an album print out the cover art addresses this, to a point. But what's missing are the other bits of information about the album that typically come with CD packaging—liner notes, jacket copy, lyric sheets and so on.

"Apple Computer said Thursday that it is investigating reports that some iPod owners have had trouble updating their devices to take advantage of the company's latest version of its iTunes jukebox software.
The Mac maker on Wednesday released an iPod software update in conjunction with its enhancement of iTunes. The iPod software is required for iPods to take advantage of the new features of iTunes 4.5 and the iTunes Music Store.

Pepsi's iTunes promo shows weak results
"Apple Computer said Wednesday that about 5 million free songs have been given away through a Pepsi promotion, far fewer than the 100 million tracks that could have been redeemed.
An Apple representative said the music giveaway was probably the biggest ever of its kind but admitted that the company gave away fewer songs than it had intended.
'We had hoped the redemptions would have been higher,' said Katie Cotton, Apple's vice president of worldwide corporate communications. Customers with winning bottle caps have until Friday to redeem their free music tracks."
Apple disables iTunes song-swapping tool
"Among other additions Apple Computer made to its iTunes software, the Mac maker has plugged a hole that allowed some people to download music from another computer.
Apple's iTunes allows Macintosh and PC users to play music stored on other PCs on a network. The music is streamed off the other computer. But file-swapping enthusiasts quickly created other programs, such as MyTunes, to capture the songs and allow them to be saved to the computer's hard drive. With the latest iteration
iTunes 4.5 cripples DRM-stripping apps
"According to a handful of very preliminary reports, it appears that new Mac OS X code, which is included as part of the iTunes 4.5 installer, cripples the vast majority of DRM-removing applications that have surfaced in recent weeks.
"I just downloaded the freebie song from iTunes, by the Foo Fighters, and when I tried to pass it through iMovie or FairTunes, I received an error message stating that my computer was not authorized to play the song," one iTunes user said."

Mike Mooneyham of The Post and Courier has a new article online on Scott Hall's most recent arrest on charges of domestic violence. The piece features a quote from Scott's ex-wife, Dana Hall, where she throughly dismisses Scott's lawyer's claim that the relationship between his client and girlfriend is actually "peaceful and amicable":
"I know for a fact … this relationship is not peaceful and amicable, but sick, unhealthy, disturbing, disgusting, unstable, violent and enabling, just to name a few. I completely believe he did this to her, as he has tried to do it to me in the past and to others. It's deplorable." Dana told The Post and Courier.

Make collecting payments easy
BPAY is used by around 75% of Australia's bill paying customers*, and is offered by more than 150 financial institutions and is offered on over 45,000 bills. This makes it Australia's most widely-used bill payment service.
In recent years, increased access to the Internet has seen phenomenal growth in the number of BPAY payments processed, with BPAY now processing more than 26 million individual payments each month. Of these, more than 90% are made online.
To join the thousands of businesses already using BPAY to help manage their billing, talk to your financial institution or contact us today.
* TNS Research Nov 2011
If you've ever paid a bill with BPAY, you know how fast and easy BPAY could be for your customers. And BPAY has real benefits for your business too.
Offering BPAY as a payment method can help you save time and money, with easier billing, fast electronic payments and streamlined reconciliation. So you can spend less time chasing payments and more time working on your business.
Here are just some of the ways BPAY can help your business:
** Based on BPAY Usage and Attitude survey, 2011
^ Banking Business Day means a day on which banks in Sydney or Melbourne are able to effect settlement through the Reserve Bank of Australia.
Using BPAY as a billing and payment collection tool is easy. Here's how it works:
First, you send your customer an invoice or bill that displays a BPAY logo, your BPAY Biller Code and their Customer Reference Number (CRN).
When they're ready to pay, your customer logs on to their phone, online or mobile bank, and selects the option to pay bills with BPAY.
They'll be asked to provide the Biller Code, CRN and amount to pay, and to choose an account to pay from, whether cheque, savings or debit card account. If you've decided to accept payments from credit card accounts, they can also pay from their credit card account (remember, there are no chargebacks with BPAY).
They choose the payment date, confirm the payment, and they're done. They can also schedule the payment for a future date.
Your customer's financial institution will now check the transaction details, before debiting the customer's account and including the information in a payer details file.
The file has everything we need to process the payment, but does not contain any of your customer's personal details, except the bank account type they paid from. So you can be confident their security is protected.
The file comes to us at BPAY for processing — every Banking Business Day^.
At the end of each Banking Business Day^, we get to work processing the payer details files from all of our financial institution members, before sending them each a report showing their net position. That allows settlement to take place.
We also send each Biller Institution a biller details file which contains information about the bills which have been paid by their customers.
That brings us to the final step: reporting. Your financial institution sends you a customised payment information file, with everything you need to update your receivables system and keep track of payments.
To pay more than one bill simply repeat the process as many times as you need.
Watch a short demonstration of how BPAY bill payments work
^ Banking Business Day means a day on which banks in Sydney or Melbourne are able to effect settlement through the Reserve Bank of Australia.
To become a BPAY biller, simply contact your financial institution.
Unfortunately, if your business is based overseas you can't become a BPAY biller. BPAY is only available for businesses in Australia.
BPAY is a service delivered through your financial institution which set fees for billing with BPAY. When you use BPAY, the BPAY Scheme is paid fees relating to processing costs and BPAY Scheme membership by participating members. Contact your financial institution to find out more.
In a Master Biller arrangement, a business signs up to help other businesses offer BPAY payments to their customers — similar to a payment clearing house. The Master Biller takes on the billing, receipting, and reporting for BPAY payments, as a service to their Sub-billers. In return, the Sub-Billers pay the Master Biller a fee.**
As a result, Master Biller arrangements could offer the following benefits for Master Billers and Sub-Billers alike:
More revenue. Earn extra revenue from transaction fees paid by your Sub-billers.
Stronger business relationships. Form lasting relationships with your business customers with value-added services that could save them time and money, including daily bank reconciliation files, automated reconciliation of receivables, receivables management services, outsourced billing services and more!
Support franchisees. Support your franchisees by helping them process payments, while maintaining an overview of their payment volumes and values.
Faster cash flow. Enjoy cleared funds in your business account, without the risk of chargebacks.
Lower overheads. BPAY can assist your business to streamline your billing and payment reconciliation process, helping you to reduce your overheads.
Less administration. Your Master Biller can take care of analysing receivables transactions, and deals with the Biller Institution for you, freeing up time so you can focus on your business. Your Master Biller may even offer a full billing and collection service on your behalf.
A trusted way for your customers to pay. Customers know and trust the BPAY symbol , making it a secure and convenient way for them to pay.*
* Based on BPAY Usage and Attitude survey, 2011
**Fees are set by the Master Biller and agreed with the Sub-Biller.
There are two main types of Master billers.
Member Master Biller are BPAY Biller Institutions — financial institutions who are members of the BPAY Scheme.
Master Billers are businesses signed up to the BPAY Scheme by a Biller Institution.
Master Biller arrangements may be appropriate for businesses in industries with a high number of sole traders or franchisees, or which receive frequent payments from a large number of different sources. For example, Master Biller arrangements may be suitable for businesses in:
Property rental
Child care
Strata management
Building services
As a BPAY biller, you get to choose which payment methods you would like to offer your customers through BPAY. Here are the options:
Debit accounts (saving and cheque accounts)
Debit card accounts
Credit card accounts
Yes. When you accept a payment from a credit card account, you'll enjoy cleared funds in your account the next Banking Business Day^ following payment, with no risk of credit card chargebacks. Further, the payment is made from within the secure environment of the customer's online, mobile or phone bank.
^Banking Business Day means a day on which banks in Sydney or Melbourne are able to effect settlement through the Reserve Bank of Australia.
For each Biller Code your business uses, you need to set an upper and lower payment limit. You can also set limits for different payment methods if you choose.
For more information on limits and other BPAY biller requirements, see your Biller Operations Manual, or speak to your financial institution.
Quick Response (QR) codes are 2-dimensional bar codes which enable a mobile phone or tablet to access information about a product, service or person by scanning the code either from paper or electronic media.
Your Customer will be directed to a web page which will instruct them to scan the QR Code using the BPAY QR Code reader from within their Financial Institution's mobile banking app. Customers of Financial Institutions that have not implemented QR Codes will not be able to scan the BPAY QR Code.
QR Codes can be generated by your Printer or Bill Service Provider, based on your payments (and/or BPAY View) information.
The display of the QR Code and associated BPAY Branding/Payment or BPAY View registration options will need to adhere to the BPAY Brand Guidelines. Approval needs to be sought from your Financial Institution prior to it appearing on the bill, as per current requirements.
QR Codes can already be implemented on your bills even if your Financial Institution has not yet implemented QR Code functionality. Customers of Financial Institutions that have not implemented QR Codes will not be able to scan the BPAY QR Code.
Mobile banking applications are generally developed for use on smart phones or tablets. These devices should have the required resolution to accurately read the QR Codes.
Currently, these Financial Institutions support QR code scanning through their mobile banking applications:
BPAY View is a bill presentment and payment service that makes it easier and faster for your customers to pay, with convenient and secure payments direct from their online or mobile bank.

BPAY View makes it easier and faster for your customers to pay, with convenient and secure payments direct from their online or mobile bank.
Watch a short demonstration on how BPAY View works
BPAY View makes it easy for your customers to view, pay and store bills and statements, all in the same convenient and secure location. Instead of getting bills in the mail and having to visit each biller's site to pay online, your customers can view and pay bills directly from their online or mobile bank.
Here's a summary of how your customers can benefit from BPAY View:
Easy access. Customers can access their bills anytime and from anywhere through BPAY View on their online or mobile bank.*
Convenience. Customers can view and pay multiple bills from multiple billers all in the one location, making it faster and easier to pay.
Choice. Your customers can choose to use any payment method you allow, including BPAY.
Organisation. Bills can be viewed, paid and stored in one electronic location — no more filing required.
*BPAY View is accessible anywhere and anytime your customers have access to online or mobile bank.
When your customers view their bills on BPAY View, they can choose to pay them with any of the payment methods you allow — it doesn't have to be by BPAY.
However, if they do pay by BPAY directly from BPAY View, the Biller Code and Customer Reference Number are automatically filled in, making it faster and even more convenient to pay.
To become a BPAY View biller, first contact your financial institution.
We'll work with you, your financial institution and your Bill Service Provider to help test and implement your BPAY View system. The time this takes can vary, but you should be up and running between 4 to 6 weeks.
Setting up BPAY View for your business generally takes between 4 to 6 weeks, with most of the work done by your Bill Service Provider.
If you choose to host your bills on your own website, we may be able to get you up and running even sooner.
BPAY View can be used together with any proprietary bill presentment option, such as direct to consumer emails. So whether you host your bills on your own website, or through a Bill Service Provider, we can usually get you up and running between 4 to 6 weeks.
When your customers receive their summary bill from their online banking service, they can click through to see the detailed bill, potentially driving extra traffic to your site. In this way, you can use your bills to increase customer engagement, or create an effective and targeted sales and marketing tool.
Because BPAY View is a service delivered through your financial institution's online or mobile bank, they set fees for billing with BPAY View. When you use BPAY View, the BPAY Scheme is paid fees by the participating members relating to processing costs and BPAY Scheme membership. Contact your financial institution to find out more.
We understand that a BPAY View implementation can feel like a big step. So we're happy to work with you and your financial institution to see if BPAY View is the right solution for your business.
We'll provide you with details of the benefits that BPAY View could offer your business, and discuss what's involved in setting it up.
To start the conversation, please contact your financial institution
When you send out a bill, it needs to have the BPAY logo, and your BPAY View registration number — as well as any other information your customer will need to register to receive your bills and invoices.
See the BPAY Brand Guidelines for more information on adding BPAY details to your bill
To get the most from this service and to help your customers get the most from BPAY View, we also suggest additional promotion to increase awareness of your BPAY View Services. Our marketing team can help you with ideas and opportunities to inform your customers about your BPAY View service — please contact us to discuss your options.
You can also find some standard flyers about BPAY View on our Marketing Support Page. You can use this as a basis for your own marketing materials, or simply add your business logo to ours.
Many businesses now include sustainability targets as part of their business objectives. And most of us would like to limit our impact on the environment in our business and daily lives.
Here are the five types of error corrections and their causes:
Mistaken payments — your customer makes a mistake when paying you with BPAY.
Unauthorised payments — access to your customer's online, mobile or phone bank is compromised by fraud.
Reversals — a system error has occurred.
Payment traces — a customer makes a payment, but you don't receive it.
Biller initiated error correction — you receive a payment but you don't know who it's from.
There are simple procedures for processing these errors that involve both you and your financial institution. You'll need to contact your financial institution to find out what to do.
Usually, your customers can click on their bill summary to access a copy of their detailed bill on your website (or Bill Service Provider's site).
If they can't, check your website, or contact your Bill Service Provider to make sure there isn't an issue with the hosting of your bills.
If you're still having problems, please contact your financial institution
Yes. All BPAY payments are made within the secure environment of your customer's online, mobile or phone bank, so you can be confident that their security is protected.
The only people with access to your customer's personal or account details are you, your customer, and your customer's financial institution. BPAY does not receive any of your customer's personal or account details during the payment process (except the bank account type they paid from).

If your customer chooses to pay a BPAY View bill by BPAY, the only people with access to your customer's personal or account details are you, the Bill Service Provider, your customer, and your customer's financial institution.

The CRN is a unique 2-20 digit number that appears on every customer bill. It is used to identify the account or bill to be paid without providing any personal information about the customer.
You can use CRNs like account numbers, putting the same CRN on every bill you send an individual customer. Or you can use them like invoice numbers, putting a different CRN on each individual bill. We call that a variable CRN which can be used to track individual transactions for a customer that may receive multiple bills from you within a billing period.
You can even use a CRN that ensures customers can only pay exactly the right amount before a specific date. Called an Intelligent CRN (iCRN), it may be useful for businesses that do not wish to be bound by a contract unless they receive an agreed amount on time, or where there is a requirement for a specific payment to be made in full or by a specified date such as a fine or vehicle registration.
The check digit is a special number used in all CRNs calculated from the other digits in the CRN.
It helps make sure your customers don't enter the wrong numbers, or get the order mixed up when they are making their BPAY payment within internet, mobile or phone banking. So you can generally be confident that the bill they pay is the one they meant to pay.

Your financial institution can help with implementing a check digit routine.
Watch a demonstration about check digits, CRNs and the CRN tool
QR codes are advanced bar codes that may be read by a smart phone or tablet for information on a product, service or person.
By placing a QR code on the bill you send your customers, they may be able to make a BPAY payment or register for BPAY View by scanning the code from their mobile banking app and a couple of clicks, provided their financial institution allows it. They'll enjoy the speed and convenience, and you'll enjoy the improved cash flow and easier reconciliation that electronic payments can bring.
Your financial institution can help you set up QR codes for your bills, provide they support them.
An iCRN stands for intelligent Customer Reference Number (CRN). You can use it to set the amount the customer is allowed to pay, or the date it must be paid by.
iCRN may be useful for businesses like insurers that do not wish to be bound by a contract unless they receive an agreed amount on time, or where there is a requirement for a specific payment to be made in full or by a specified date such as a fine or vehicle registration.
Your financial institution can help you set up iCRN for your bills, provided they support it.
A Batch payment is a way to make multiple BPAY payments at a time to one or more billers — all through a single transaction file.
Just like your paper bills, your electronic bills need to include the relevant BPAY details. That way your customer has the information they need to pay your bill with BPAY.
You'll need to include a payment methods section, with a section for the BPAY logo, Biller Code and Customer Reference Number (CRN). Here's an example:
See the BPAY Brand Guidelines for more information on adding BPAY details to your bill.

Petty, Adams And Kilgo Pick Up Big 12 Accolades
Todd Petty led tje Lady Raiders to a Big 12 Comferce title in 2011.
April 24, 1008
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech Lady Raider head coach Todd Petty joined elite company on Tuesday, as he became just the third coach in Big 12 Conference history to win the women's tennis Coach of the Year Award in back-to-back seasons.
Petty joins former Texas A&M coach Bobby Kleinecke and Baylor's Joey Scrivano as the only coaches in league history to win the award in consecutive years.
"This is a special award since it is voted on by my peers," said Todd Petty. "I truly respect all of the coaches in our league.
"I have a group of young ladies and an amazing staff that should be commended for this award, including (assistant coach) Todd Chapman, (strength and conditioning coach) Katie Munger and (volunteer assistant) Kristen Rafael. This is a reflection of their hard work."
In his fourth season, Petty has led a gradual resurgence to a dormant program. Prior to this season, no Texas Tech team had ever finished better than fourth in conference play and Petty guided the Lady Raiders to their first-ever Big 12 championship. Along the way, he has engineered Texas Tech to several new records, milestones and plateaus, including winning 19 matches for the first time in 25 years and earning a ranking inside the Top 20 for the first time ever.
Other Texas Tech honorees on Tuesday were the standout doubles tandem of Kenna Kilgo and Samantha Adams. The Lady Raider duo is currently 25-7 on the season and ranked No. 19 nationally. It is the first time in Texas Tech history that a singles or doubles ranking for the Lady Raiders has entered the Top 20. Adams and Kilgo are the ninth Texas Tech tandem to earn All-Big 12 doubles honors.
"I am very proud of Sam and Kenna," said Petty. "This honor is very well deserved. These young ladies have really put on some great performances at the No. 1 spot this season."
Adams and Kilgo were selected as one of the 32 doubles tandems to participate at the 2012 NCAA Women's Doubles Championships later this month in Athens, Ga. It is the first time that a doubles tandem has advanced to the NCAA since 1988.
Adams, who is ranked 117th nationally, earned her first All-Big 12 singles honor as well. In all, Adams now has three All-Big 12 honors after teaming with Kelsy Garland last season for All-Big 12 doubles honors.
Texas Tech begins play at the 2012 NCAA Championships in Coral Gables, Fla., on Friday at 9 a.m., when they face No. 37 Utah.
