The 50-Year Reunion inaugurated the class of 1956 into Corpus Cordis Aureum, Latin for "Golden Corps of the Heart." This is a special distinction for alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago.
On Commencement Sunday, the class was honored and inducted into the Corpus Cordis Aureum (CCA) at a ceremony at the Miller-Ward Alumni House. Everyone in attendance recieved specially commissioned medallions to keep and wear at all future Corpus Cordis Aureum activities.
On Commencement Monday, all members of CCA, including previous inductees, were invited to march during the university's Commencement procession, clad in gold robes. During the ceremony, the CCA was invited to stand and be recognized, symbolizing all Emory alumni who have graduated prior to the graduating class.
Mark your calendars to return and participate in this special ceremony next year!

The Code of Virginia (§9.1-165, et seq.) provides for financial assistance to localities with police departments through the "599" program. Currently, 40 cities, 9 counties and 126 towns receive "599" funds. The Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) administers the program.
Calculations to determine the distribution of "599" funds to localities are performed biennially by DCJS. The funds are allocated among the eligible localities by a distribution formula which uses population, crime rates, and social services rates. The amount available for distribution each fiscal year is set by the General Assembly through the Appropriations Act. However, the Assembly may and often has specified that changes in allocations from one fiscal year to the next are to be based on a standard, across-the-board percentage increase or decrease.
Localities must certify to DCJS each year that they meet the eligibility requirements, using a Certificate of Eligibility form provided by DCJS. They must also certify that they will use the "599" funds to supplement (i.e. add to), not supplant, the locally generated funds they spend on public safety. DCJS provides a Non-Supplanting Certification form for that purpose.
The General Assembly requires that "599" funds be used for public safety services.
To be eligible for "599" funds, a locality must have a police department, and all of the department's law enforcement personnel must meet the state's minimum training requirements. DCJS requires each participating jurisdiction to certify annually that it meets the eligibility criteria. Jurisdictions which received "599" funds during the 1980-82 biennium are considered eligible to receive funding as long as their departments remain in operation. Other localities seeking to establish police departments and become eligible must meet more stringent criteria. Any town eligible for "599" funds during the 1986-88 biennium may elect to have its police services provided by the sheriff of the county in which it is located, under an agreement pursuant to §15.2-1726, and still retain its eligibility.
There is no match requirement.
The funds are appropriated on a fiscal year basis and distributed in quarterly payments to the eligible localities.

There are two groups we get placed into based on how we approach life. We either approach situations with "black & white" decisions or our decision making process is a little more blended; the resulting color is "gray". What happens if our decisions are black & white sometimes and gray other times? Does this mean we are lost or does it mean we created a "charcoal" group?
There are two groups we get placed into based on how we approach life.

What happens if our decisions are black & white sometimes and gray other times? Does this mean we are lost or does it mean we created a "charcoal" group?
Recently I've spent a lot of time doing that thinking thing again. Reflection is something that can be very difficult to engage in. I don't blame anyone that chooses not to reflect back on experiences in their life or conversations they have had. It can be one of the most emotionally challenging experiences we may have. That emotion business can be a dangerous territory to enter into! For some reason I choose to attempt to reflect on my experiences. I keep telling myself the big guy above must keep giving me experiences for a reason and I better listen if he's talking. Recently this reflection has been centered on a man very dear to my life and many others, including the cattle industry. The many memories and thoughts I had led me to this box we put ourselves in regarding how to think. The man in my life was a true role model. What made him such a good role model was his code of honor. Three words we don't hear too often these days. I got to thinking about discussions we'd had on how he lived his life. We can always think of experiences and examples of day to day life with someone, but when we combined those daily experiences we had only one result. Our memories were not of actual events or stories, our memories were of the man that he was and he was a man of honor.
Honor might imply perfection; however perfection is the farthest thing from my thoughts. Honor is something much deeper, honor is making tough decisions, where you either face them or run away cowardly. The type of decisions that often result in a person taking the more difficult path because it is the right thing to do rather than taking the easy way out. Those black & white decisions of wrong verses right. A man of honor however, knows that living a life of only black & white might not always be the right thing to do. Sometimes decisions require compassion or more often they require empathy. The world around us likes to put people in a box and it makes them very uncomfortable when someone doesn't quite fit into that box. The world can't wrap its mind around that and tends to make us think that being black & white is wrong or close-minded. Here I had always thought black & white meant sticking to your personal beliefs and ethical code. Other times the world thinks a gray thinker implies wishy-washy, flaky behavior, ready to lean whichever way the wind blows. Once again the world confused me because I thought adding a little gray meant that sometimes not every situation can be handled the same. I guess if we listen to the world around us, we are pretty much sitting on our thumbs waiting to decide how we should think.
I do know that I am thankful for the 25 years I was able to be around a man with honor. His honor gave an example of living life that was far different than what the world tells me every day. My reflection over recent weeks led me to the decision that it is okay to be more of a charcoal thinker. I had been influenced by a strong, self-assured role model that had conviction in every decision. When the world told me it's not "cool" to go after your passions, befriend the person that didn't fit into a mold, or remain ethical no matter the cost; someone else in my life showed me differently. As humans we all struggle doing the right thing all the time and we always will as perfection is out of reach. If we keep people around us that live to a similar code of honor, we should be just fine.
As we in this industry face every day ahead of us, let us remain holding tight to our code of honor. Every day seems to get more and more difficult to live as cattlemen in this world, let alone as cattlemen with honor. Are we going to take to take the easy way, no matter how unethical and deceitful it is? Will we take the more difficult road, remaining true to what we know is right? My hope is our industry remains true to what has been instilled in us as the right thing to do. Do not listen to world's voice inside your head telling you nice guys finish last. Nice guys will always finish first at the very end of the race, their perseverance and endurance of remaining honor able puts them ahead when it matters most. Our industry is up against the grayest of gray thinkers every single day. Many out there do not even have personal beliefs anymore or have their own true opinions. Let us continue thinking outside the box, while bringing black & white values with us every step of the way. If we are able to remain open minded enough to adapt to situations that block our path, yet remain strong enough in ourselves to not get lost along the way, we will be able to finish first when it truly matters.

What is recomended strategy for avoiding pgpool SPOF
Hi all!
Thanks a lot for pgpool, it's really nice tool.
But I'm a bit confusing about how can I avoid SPOF of pgpool?
In presentations I saw the solution of making 2 pgpool servers,
but how clients will determine to which server they should connect?
Also I think, that making 2 pgpool servers will bring the problem that:
one pgpool will think that master node is one data node, and another pgpool may
think about another data node as master. Is it possible? And what should we do in such case?
Best regards!

College Hockey:Grand Finale: RIT Falls To U.S. Under-18 Team
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — On senior Night at RIT's Ritter Arena, the Tigers finished their first Division I season by hosting the U.S. Under-18 team. Unfortunately for the Tigers, Team USA proved to be difficult guests, jumping on top just a minute into the contest when Bill Sweatt scored.
RIT tied the game midway through the second period, but a pair of USA goals allowed them to take a 3-1 exhibition victory.
"I was very happy with our effort tonight," said RIT coach Wayne Wilson. "It was strange to know that tonight was the ending. I was proud of the commitment of the seniors to the program."
Very similar to last night's game, the USA team dominated play territorially early in the first period. But unlike last night, the pressure paid dividends for Team USA and they were able to take a 1-0 lead just a minute into the contest.
James O'Brien held the puck along the boards in the left side of the zone, and then spotted linemate Bill Sweatt near the slot. Sweatt chipped the puck high over RIT goaltender George Eliopoulos on the first shot of the game for the USA goal.
Team USA continued to dominate play after that, preventing any RIT rush from getting close to their net. RIT didn't manage its first shot on goal of the game until the 12:27 mark while on its first power play of the game. The Tigers managed to throw four of their six shots on goal of the period during that power play, but USA netminder Brett Bennett stopped them all to maintain the 1-0 USA lead.
The first period enjoyed very little flow, mainly because of RIT garnering on offside call after another.
RIT climbed back into the game midway through the second period scoring on a power play at 8:27. The Tigers were able to control the perimeter of the USA zone. After working the puck around, Tony Bifulco got the puck near the top of the slot. He passed the puck down low to Darren Doherty, who pushed it over to Darrell Draper just off the top of the crease. Draper made a nifty spin move and flipped the puck high into the top left corner of the net to tie the game 1-1.
Despite RIT playing a relatively even second period of hockey, Team USA was able to re-exert its territorial dominance during the last few minutes of the period. The pressure paid off with just under a minute remaining when Team USA sprinted into the RIT zone with an odd man rush.
The games was delayed for a few moment at the 12:20 when Chris Atkinson was injured. It appeared that either an errant skate or stick caught Atkinson under the chin and nicked his carotid artery. Both the RIT and USA training staffs immediately got Atkinson off the ice and an RIT ambulance that was standing by whisked him to a nearby hospital. No update on Atkinson's condition was available by the end of the game.
Blake Geoffrey slid a goal mouth pass over to Ryan Flynn who finished the play with a goal at 19:08 to conclude the period with USA up 2-1. Team USA outshot RIT 13-8 in the second period.
Team USA extended their lead to 3-1 at 14:28 of the third period Michael Carmen chipped in a power play goal. The USA players had been applying pressure in the RIT zone, and Carmen corralled the second rebound to finally score the goal.
RIT got a 6-on-4 advantage with 1:28 remaining after Jamie McBain was tagged with a crosschecking penalty and the Tigers pulled goaltender Eliopoulos.
The Tigers managed two good shots on net during the advantage but couldn't get anything past Bennett. Team USA won the game 3-1.

Venue Surprise: Loughner Trial Moved to Tucson
Well how's this for a surprise: the federal trial of Jared Loughner, the man accused of shooting U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords as well as a handful of others in a Jan. 8 shooting spree, is moving to Tucson, the site of the shooting.
At least for now.
The case started off in Phoenix. And from there, frankly, we expected it to go anywhere other than Tucson, where the potential jury pool, it could be argued, might be tainted by its proximity to the Jan. 8 events.
But no. San Diego federal judge Larry Burns, who was brought in to oversee the case, ordered the case moved to Tucson on Monday. Click here for Tamara Audi's story in the WSJ; here for the Arizona Republic story.
Federal prosecutors had filed a motion to move the proceedings to Tucson, arguing that the four-hour round-trip drive between Phoenix and Tucson would be burdensome to witnesses and victims involved in the case.
Loughner's defense lawyers had argued early on that he could not receive a fair trial in Tucson. But they did not object when Judge Burns raised the possibility of the move during Loughner's court appearance last week. Defense lawyers could still try to block the move.
The judge's decision Monday said the order "does not affect the defendant's right to move for a change of venue in the future."
The next date for a court proceeding in the case is March 9, for a status hearing.

Green-Roofed New Forest House Treads Lightly on the Forest in Southern England
Start Slideshow
- New Forest House-PAD StudioThe New Forest House is sublimely located in the New Forest National Park in southern England and replaces an old cottage. Wanting to build a new home that was sensitive to its forest environment, the owners tasked PAD Studio to come up with a designthat treaded lightly on the surrounding forest. The result is a highly sustainable, solar-powered, green-roofed and earth bermed home that takes only views.1
- New Forest House-PAD StudioSituated in the New Forest National Park, the private property featured an older two bedroom cottage.2
- New Forest House-PAD StudioThe owners wanted to build new and worked with local authorities and PAD Studio to design and built a super sensitive and eco friendly home.3
- New Forest House-PAD StudioThe team even went so far as to relocate local lizards to keep from hurting them during construction.4
- New Forest House-PAD StudioExpanding by just 30% in square footage, the new home has three bedrooms and an open floor plan living, dining and kitchen area. A basement offers up a media room and utility space, while a small guest cottage and workshop provides room for the owner's visiting parents.5
- New Forest House-PAD StudioDirt dug up from the basement was retained and used to berm the backside of the house, which provides extra insulation, blocks noise from a nearby road and helps the home blend in with the surrounding environment.6
- New Forest House-PAD StudioOrientation of the home was carefully designed to allow for solar passive design, natural breezes and views.7
- New Forest House-PAD StudioLocally-sourced wood was used shore up the concrete wall that serves as the spine of the house and provides thermal mass.8
- New Forest House-PAD StudioGreen roofs planted with native sedum further insulate the home, while a solar thermal system generates hot water for domestic use. A wood-fired boiler provides extra heat for hot water if needed and heat during the winter.9
- New Forest House-PAD StudioThe 18.5 acre site is located adjacent to ancient woodland and heath and the home enjoys carefully designed views of its surroundings. Rainwater is harvested from the roof and grey water is recycled.10
- New Forest House-PAD StudioRight in front of the house is a natural swimming pool, which teams with local flora and fauna, especially lizards, which returned once construction was complete.11

While the Huskie starters were in Ohio against the Bobcats, a select group of NIU wrestlers went up to Dubuque, Iowa, for the "Flash" Flanagan Open. At the end of the day, two Huskies won their weight classes, while four others finished in the top six of their brackets. Jordan Northrup and Bryan Loughlin ended up at the top of the podium with each notching very impressive performances. For Northrup, he earned two major decisions, a pin and a technical fall en route to his first place finish. In his final three matches of the day, Northrup outscored the opposition, 39-3. In the title bout, he handily defeated Waldorf's Ray McQueen, 12-1. Meanwhile, Loughlin was almost equally as dominant. In his four victories, the sophomore outscored his opponents by a 46-9 margin, including a 12-2 major decision against Erik Lux in the final.
Four other Huskies got on the podium, as well. Gabe Morse (149) and Parker Settecase (197) each took third-place finishes, rebounding nicely in the consolation bracket after suffering close semifinal and quarterfinal losses, respectively. In addition, Billy Chancey was fifth at 174 and Shane Rosenberry was sixth at 184.

The Somerville Community Health Agenda (SCHA) is an innovative partnership between CHA, the Somerville Health Department and the community that works collaboratively to improve the health of Somerville residents.
The SCHA has historically been guided by principles associated with the Healthy Communities movement, which embraces a broad definition of health that goes beyond the absence of disease to address root cause issues in communities. Some of the other principles include:
The SCHA recognizes that health is greatly influenced by many things around us, including social, economic, political, and environmental factors as well as our own behaviors, all of which influences the selection of initiatives to improve community health. Increasingly, the work of the Agenda strives to address these determinants of health and health inequities that lead to health disparities.
Core activities include collecting, assessing, and disseminating community health data, community visioning, coordinating systems change efforts, and facilitating coalition development. Since 2010, SCHA has created a monthly listing of "Somerville Health Happenings" to help communicate the wide range of health impacting efforts and resources available to improve the health of Somerville residents. This is available on our website or by email by sending a request.
In 2011, the latest Well-Being of Somerville report was released including data from the 2010 Census, years of trend data from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveys and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey data from 2002 and 2008/9, as well as numerous other sources. The intention is that the report can serve as a springboard for cross sector dialogues to address the resulting recommendations.
The SCHA supports community coalitions that work on issues which affect health and quality of life such as substance abuse prevention, positive youth development, children's oral health, access to healthy foods, nutrition and physical activity promotion, immigrant health, and environmental health.
In 2003-2004, the SCHA has been involved with implementing an improved Youth Risk Behavior Survey, coordinating the process to establish a citywide Youth Council, grant-writing to increase the capacity of Somerville Cares About Prevention, and coordinating the Mayor's Taskforce on Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Promotion.
The SCHA regularly produces the Wellbeing of Somerville report, and Guide to Somerville Community Groups and Coalitions.

Have you ever taken a physics class? I never studied physics in high school or college. My kids love science and math, so I was terrified to teach physics. I had no clue what I was doing and I could only rely on my husband so much - he had a job and didn't have the time to help with physics every day.
My sons ended up teaching themselves physics in our home-school. They would sit down with the textbook in one hand and the answer key in the other hand. They read through everything and when they got stuck, they would look at the answer key. That was how they learned the concepts.
When it came time for a test, I would hand them the test and then take the answer key with me when I went grocery shopping. When I came home from grocery shopping, the test was magically done. Then it was my turn - I took my children's answers and put them side by side with the answer key. To be honest, I didn't even know what the symbols meant, it was all like Greek to me. I just looked at each of their answers to make sure they looked exactly the same as the answers in the answer key.
Sometimes the answers would be different. When that happened, my children would try to convince me their answers were right and the textbook answer key was wrong. I always gave them the option of contacting the publisher or the author of the textbook to ask if the answer key was incorrect for that particular question. If they heard back that the answer key was indeed wrong, I would be more than happy to change their answer on the test and mark it as correct.
Most of the time, my kids didn't bother to contact the publisher and that was fine. They came to understand that if their answer didn't look exactly like the answer key, I would mark it incorrect, as that was my only method of marking. We also used the same strategy for other subjects I wasn't familiar with, such as Math, Latin, and French. You, too can let your child self-teach and learn subjects far beyond your own understanding!

Where a defendant pleaded guilty to two counts of being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, there was no error in the denial of his motion to suppress the ammunition, as well as inculpatory statements he made without the benefit of Miranda warnings, given that (1) the police stop that revealed the incriminating information was based on reasonable suspicion of criminal activity and (2) the defendant was not de facto arrested at the time he made the inculpatory statements.Read More »

135mm DC noise when shake
Hi everyone. I've just bought an used 135mm f/2 DC lens. When I shake the lens, I hear some strange sound, like the front optic element was loosen. Put the lens up side down and use my finger to carefully push the front element, I can feel it move! Is this normal with this lens? I thought the front optic element should be sealed to prevent dust enter the lens. Should I send it to Nikon services for repairing? Please help!
sorry for my bad English.

|Stochastic Perron's method in linear and non-linear problems
|Probability and Financial Mathematics Seminar
|Mihai Sirbu, University of Texas, Austin, Mathematics
|We introduce a stochastic version of the classical Perron's method to construct viscosity solutions to linear parabolic equations associated to stochastic differential equations. Using this method, we construct easily two viscosity (sub and super) solutions that squeeze in between the expected payoff. If a comparison result holds true, then there exists a unique viscosity solution which is a martingale along the solutions of the stochastic differential equation. The unique viscosity solution is actually equal to the expected payoff. This amounts to a verification result (Ito's Lemma) for non-smooth viscosity solutions of the linear parabolic equation. We show how the method can be extended to non-linear problems, like free boundary problems associated to optimal stopping or Dynkin games and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations in stochastic control. The presentation is based on joint work with Erhan Bayraktar.

Mail Online reports an Albuquerque, New Mexico dog has tested positive for drugs. Single mother, Arlene Saiz, took Mattie, her eleven month old labrador retriever to the veterinarian, after noticing strange behavior from the dog. Saiz, 30, claims Mattie became "unsteady" on her feet during a walk, started twitching, and was barely able to stand. Saiz told Mail Online Mattie could hardly hold her head up, prompting her to take the dog to the vet. Testing revealed the pup had marijuana and cocaine in her system on January 7, 2014.
Officials were called and seized the dog after Saiz signed her rights away. Later, she told KOAT she regretted her decision and says she was coerced into signing, seeing that as the only way to save the dog's life. City officials have cared for the dog since Tuesday, who has since suffered from seizures and an infection. The NY Post reports the mother is now suing to gain possession of Mattie.
"I want her back because my daughter is devastated",
Saiz told KOAT. The city said it's too late. When the waiver was signed, it meant Saiz can't adopt from the city for a year, and that can't be reversed. Mattie will either be handed over to a rescue agency or put into the adoption program. They also indicated Mattie wasn't licensed or spayed.
Police found no evidence to file charges against Saiz, who said she doesn't know how Mattie consumed the drugs, but said she'd take a drug test if it meant getting her back. She suspects someone tampered with Mattie's food in their backyard. Since the dog was taken, investigators came to the Siaz residence to check on the welfare of her daughter.
WWLP reports Mattie is going to be okay.

If I had a penny for every time someone told they hoped to head out to bike across the country once their kids have left the home, I would be a rich woman. I've been stunned at how many people feel they need to stay home for eighteen years until their kids are in college before taking off. I say, go now. Take advantage of every moment you have with your children before it is too late.
One day in 2006, just before we headed out for our first major family bicycle tour, I visited a friend of mine whose son had just committed suicide. She clung to me as tears streamed down her face and said, "Take advantage of every second you have with your boys. Don't wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow may never come."
I was struck by those words. "Tomorrow may never come." Through her grief and torment, she uttered some of the wisest words I've ever heard, and I've thought about those words a lot in the hours we've spent pedaling the highways and byways together as a family.
There are many, many reasons to head out on a bicycle tour with your children – whether for an overnight trip to Grandma's house or a multi-year world tour. Here's six:
Work together as a family toward a common goal: In today's society, families aren't generally united in their efforts. Kids head off in the morning to their respective schools, parents are off to their jobs in different parts of the city. By the time everyone gets home at night, they are exhausted and still need to get homework done, dinner cooked, laundry washed, and the house clean. Work toward a common goal? You gotta be kidding me!
When on a bike tour, each member of the family becomes part of the team. Whether you are riding together on a tandem or each person rides his/her own single, you'll be working together to arrive at your destination. You'll find yourselves encouraging one another to get up the tough hills during the day, working together to get camp set up in the evening, and hanging out around the campfire at night. It's one of those rare opportunities to come together as a family without all the distractions of "normal" life.
Be a team: On a bike tour, you will find you won't be parents and children, adults and kids, teachers and students – you'll be equal members of a team. Each member of the team comes in with certain strengths and weaknesses and you'll quickly figure out how to utilize each other's strengths to overcome their weaknesses.
Educational opportunities: On any bike tour, you will find many, many educational opportunities to take advantage of. Whether you are simply out for a weekend before the kids go back to school or are roadschooling your children on an extended tour, the journey will help your children learn more about the word they live in.
When you take a break in the desert, point out how the plants are specially designed for the dry, arid conditions. When you pass roadside historical signs, stop and read them together. Talk about how movement of tectonic plates has created the mountains you are cycling through. When it's raining discuss the water cycle. In short, take advantage of your surroundings to help your children learn.
Go beyond "school": In addition to the many "school" subjects your child will learn on the road, he/she will learn about life itself from the bike. When she crests her first pass and gazes down upon the vast valley spread out below her, she'll learn the value of persistence. Determination, stick-to-it-ive-ness, and understanding the thrill of victory are all very real benefits of a bike tour.
Set an example: Parents are children's primary teacher. What kind of teacher do you want to be? By heading out on a bike tour with your children, you are showing them that an active lifestyle is a rich, fulfilling way to live. You are teaching your kids there is more to life than work, work, and more work.
Unplugged: With our dependence on electronic forms of entertainment, "unplugging" ourselves for a few days is a good thing. Children learn to depend on Mother Nature for toys and know that electricity and batteries are not essential.

What is the proper way to eat a scone?
Guests learned the answer to that question along with other fun tea facts as part of The Townsend Hotel's Afternoon Tea and Etiquette event held last Sunday. In a tea adventure that was grounded in the luxury hotel's dedicated tea lobby, attendees went back four thousand years ago to the first cup of tea in China, making their way to 19th century England when the popular hot drink made its way to the celebrated afternoon tea ceremony that is still being enjoyed today.
The Afternoon Tea and Etiquette program was presented by Barb Gulley of Barb's TEA Shop Seminars (and tea writer for The Examiner) with the aid of business partner and daughter, Rachel.
Along with the Townsend's delicious three-course afternoon tea fare of scones, savories and miniature pastries, guests enjoyed cups of earl grey and herbal decaf tea while watching demonstrations of proper tea etiquette, learning not only what to do, but, perhaps more importantly what not to do (the dreaded "tea faux pas").
The tea etiquette program was what initially brought in guest Ewa Obertynski. A Berkley resident, she was born in Poland where, Obertynksi notes, tea is the national drink. "This was my first time to the afternoon tea at the Townsend. I have always been intrigued with the pomp and circumstance surrounding tea etiquette. When I found out [about] the presentation I thought that it would be a great opportunity to learn about tea and its etiquette."
Obertynski says she enjoyed the variety of finger sandwiches and desserts as well as the tea.
Other guests found the tea event an ideal occasion to spend with family and friends. Several mother/daughter pairs came together as well as a few couples and one three-generation family.
In addition to the program and tasty treats, all attendees received a tea room guide book to New York, Paris or London.
And, for those who are still wondering about the proper way to eat a scone, there are many acceptable ways to do so. It can be treated as finger food or, if you feel more comfortable employing flatware, a knife and fork are perfectly fine to use as well. Only caution - don't cut it in two, spread with cream and jam and reassemble like a sandwich. It's not meant to be a Big Mac.

- It was heavily scripted, with each stooge reading from their notes.
- Cap'n Izzy (Ross) made a couple of statements that seemed odd, and were semantics:
- At no point did anyone on the team contact Cowher or Gruden. Sources say otherwise, so maybe he had a minion such as Peterson do it, since he's not "on the team."
- Peterson was not on the flight with him to Cali. Well, technically, neither was The Furious Engima (Ireland). Ross left from Teterboro in NJ, and clearly these guys were here.
- I didn't realize how fast word would travel, and how the media was into it. You're a business man, and you got a lot of insights from H Wayne and others. Really?
- We didn't make an offer to Harbaugh, and I told him to stay at Stanford. Sources at Stanford tell us that he was telling people he was going, so that's not right. And maybe he told him to stay there when he realized Harbaugh was waffling
- We already had a great team here. Bawahahahaha
- At least he seemed contrite. "We goofed" and "I should have handled it differently" were at least the right words
- The body language said a lot. No one really looked at each other. There is strife.
- The Bootin Bull (Sparano) said he was disappointed, but ready to move on. Sure. Just like a jilted spouse is ready to move on - as she's destroying his collection of vintage vinyl records
- Communication, they said, was key for internal affairs. But they didn't mention external communications, which are still a black hole
- It seemed like every other thing that's happened. They quasi own up to something, and are immediately ready to move on. We need to be more explosive, and get better at QB. Duh.
- The questions were controlled by Harvey Greene - only a few and then he cut everyone off. Yeah, that settles it. And media, please get off our backs - its my team and you're not helping!!!!
This was just nonsense and kind of like, ummm, putting lipstick on a pig. Its still a pig, and there is still much myrth to be had.
I don't believe this ends anything, rather there are still issues that need to be worked out. And I'm going to be laughing at them all the way!
They totally lost my respect with this sham of a coaching search and sham of a news conference. And respect is something that is EARNED.
My advice to all dolphins fans is to not take them too seriously. They are still a joke!

Many people who own YouTube channels understand how to advertise and the power of viral ad campaigns and find different ways to boost the web traffic to their page. If you are one of them, you are probably wondering how to get more traffic on YouTube. There are many different ways that you can do this, although a large majority of the suggestions you will find elsewhere on the Internet are not as good as what you will find listed below.
How to Get More Traffic on YouTube
- Promote your channel elsewhere, and include links so that people can find it more easily.
- Add many tags to your videos that it will show up in more search results.
- Find similar videos, and attach your video as a "Video Response"
How to Increase Website Traffic on YouTube by Promoting Your Channel
If you have a blog, FaceBook, Pinterest, Twitter, or other social media account, you can promote your videos for best viral marketing on these sites. The more people you get your video out to, the more traffic you will get to your channel. It is important, however, to attach clickable links to your comments and posts. If the people who see your promoting comments are unable to get to your videos through the click of a button, they most likely are not going to search YouTube for it specifically. You need to include the link, or your promotion will do very little to increase your YouTube traffic.
How to Get More Traffic on YouTube by Adding Tags
Within moments, you can use Google free website promotion tools to find the most popular searched for tags on YouTube. This will give you the best idea of what kind of tags people are looking for when they are browsing through YouTube videos. As you create videos, try to gear them toward these tags, and then add them to the video. The more tags you add, the more search results your video will show up in. This makes it much more likely for people to click on your results, which can increase search engine traffic to YouTube.
How to Get More Traffic on YouTube by Attaching Video Responses
One of the best ways to get more traffic is to find videos that are slightly similar to your videos and attach them as a video response. This will get the attention of people who are looking for videos like yours, but would not find them otherwise. While the other two suggestions will most likely be more helpful, adding video responses will greatly increase your online traffic when it is done correctly.
All three of these suggestions are great tips for how to get more traffic on YouTube, and have been used by many YouTubers within the scope of how to get visitors to their videos. They work well for anyone, and as long as you do them correctly, you will see a great increase in your YouTube traffic.

According to Twitterholic.com – yes, my name is Alan and I'm a twitterholic – I am the No. 1 user of Twitter in Apopka. One of the reasons I've really embraced twitter is because of the ability to search the cyberworld for what people are saying about a particular subject or product.
One of the search terms I have set to follow on Twitter is Apopka. So, when any of the several million twitter users across the world say something about Apopka, it comes across my desktop. Pretty powerful stuff, but it gives you a good feel for the community.
So, in a tribute to Seinfeld – a random column about nothing – I thought I would highlight a few tweets about Apopka this weekend:
@stormydaniels: Just got home from going out to see a friend..still feeling sniffly so I am off to bed. I have a riding lesson in Apopka tomorrow! (Yes, that is adult film star and possible US Senate Candidate from Louisiana Stormy Daniels visiting our fair city.)
@danipasc: Lost somewhere in apopka on the drive back from otown but at least this city has every type of drive thru imaginable
@allstairpaul: – Chick-Fil-A for breakfast coming out of Apopka tomorrow for sure.
@The_Eric_Gray: At the best mexican rest in Orlando, Garibaldi in Apopka.
@jhardy06: at church doing the sound in Apopka, FL
@xpurple_penguin: Hahaha. Im watchin the weather, and if you look at FL, then at Apopka, we are red. And the citysaround us are yellow and green lol.
@allstairpaul: – eating some high sodium goodness at the King Buffet in Apopka – mmmm, cheap chinese buffet, so bad, but so good.
@heyshockey: Hit up walmart and bought nuts. At lake apopka with @metalmikeymike and Ross now.
@bree_bear: Long boring ride back to apopka.
Probably wondering what's the point? Really, don't think there is much of a point, except to give you a look at what Apopka's talking about. Obviously food is a big deal here and I certainly agree, Garibaldi in Apopka is fantastic!

Is it allowable to use gifted and talented funds to pay for PSEO tuition to a community college for identified gifted and talented students?
No for junior and senior students; yes for g/t-identified students in ninth and tenth grade. The opportunity to participate in PSEO is available for all juniors and seniors and is therefore considered the regular school program. Whether the students are g/t-identified or not. the PSEO costs are paid from general funds and not gifted and talented funding. Gifted and talented funding is to be used for identified gifted students who have needs beyond the regular school program. Gifted and talented funds may be used for identified ninth and tenth graders who are grade level or curriculum accelerated and are participating in PSEO - because PSEO is not offered to ninth and tenth graders except those that are identified as gifted and talented.

Latinos for Kaine
"Latinos for Kaine" is a group of Virginians united in an effort to educate voters on Tim Kaine's record of supporting policies that improve our economy, promote excellence in education, and create opportunities for all residents of our Commonwealth. We are business leaders, entrepreneurs, lawmakers, veterans, educators, students, advocates, lawyers, and young professionals. We have come to trust Tim Kaine as a champion for the Latino and Hispanic-American community.
Through hard work, pragmatism, and finding solutions to problems, Tim Kaine has proven to be a passionate and effective advocate for issues impacting our community. Throughout his career in the public and private sector, Tim Kaine has fought diligently for equal rights and opportunities, economic growth, and excellence in education from pre-K to post-secondary education. He supports comprehensive immigration reform as well as the DREAM Act, which would allow the children of undocumented immigrants a pathway to attain a degree in higher education and/or serve in our military.
We support Tim Kaine's candidacy for the U.S. Senate because he believes in strengthening our community and our state by bringing people together to work toward a common goal. Con Tim Kaine, sí podemos! With Tim Kaine, we can do it!
Announcing "Latinos for Kaine"
Today, Kaine for Virginia launched "Latinos for Kaine" with more than 100 representatives of the Virginia Latino community who support Tim Kaine's Senate campaign. This dynamic group of business and community leaders will be an integral part of the diverse coalition that helps elect Kaine in November.
"I have enjoyed a long and productive partnership with the Latino community during my time in public life and I'm thrilled to have the support of so many great Virginia Latino leaders," said Kaine. "The Spanish I learned as a missionary in Honduras has opened many doors during my time as a civil rights attorney, mayor, and governor, and if elected to the Senate I pledge to continue to work closely with the Latino community to secure improved economic opportunities for all Americans."
"I support Tim for U.S. Senate because Tim has been an ally and friend to the Latino community and to all communities in Virginia," said Walter Tejada, member of the Arlington County Board. "Tim supports small businesses because he knows they are the backbone of our economy."
"I support Tim because he stands with our community," said Leni Gonzalez, a prominent member of the Northern Virginia Latino community. "Tim left a legacy as governor of choosing strong Latino talent for key positions in his Administration and increasing and improving educational opportunities. He represents our family values and sets himself apart as a leader who works hard to bring about solutions."
As we look for ways to encourage our economic recovery, Governor Kaine knows that small businesses and their owners, including thousands of immigrant business owners across the country, remain the innovators and backbone of our economy. As Governor, he launched a "Business One Stop" portal to make it easier to start a small business in Virginia. Under his leadership, Virginia dramatically increased the percentage of state goods and services purchased from small, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses. Because of his efforts to foster the right climate for all businesses, large and small, Virginia was named "Best State for Business" by Forbes all four years of his term.
Governor Kaine believes investments in education are the key to creating the talented and highly skilled workforce that America needs. As Governor, he worked with the legislature to increase and improve educational opportunities from pre-K through higher education. He expanded enrollment in Virginia's high quality pre-K program by 40%, fought to protect K-12 education from budget cuts, and signed into law Virginia's largest ever investment in higher education facilities. Because of these efforts, Education Week named Virginia the best state in which to raise a child and Virginia's Latino elementary students were best in the nation on annual achievement tests.
Governor Kaine is also committed to ensuring America has the most talented workforce in the world. He knows that Virginia's economic strength and international competitiveness has been bolstered by the skills and talents of people coming to this nation from around the world, and he worked hard to foster an environment that welcomes those individuals. That's why he supports forward-looking immigration reforms that would allow the most talented immigrants to stay and work, secure our borders, and ask those who came here illegally to admit their violation and pay a penalty. As Senator, he will fight to reverse counter-productive immigration policies that make it harder for U.S.-educated, foreign students to achieve in this country. He also supports the DREAM Act, which would ensure students brought to the U.S. by their parents are not penalized, but are instead given meaningful opportunities to educate themselves and/or serve in our nation's military.
As Governor, he took steps to help struggling homeowners hurt by the housing crisis, including a disproportionate number of minorities, and fought discriminatory measures that attempted to prevent Virginians from accessing services or information, including ballots and health care, in Spanish.
As part of his commitment to engaging the Latino community during his Senate campaign, Kaine's campaign website includes a fully functional Spanish version, available at http://www.kaineforva.com/es.

I got an old laptop that I have upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium (Was Win Vista originally when bought). Any Way, my sister took it for a while as her machine was having issues, when she return it. The machine is connected to the wireless home network (it had taken the IP of the home network) but no connectivity !!!. I tried everything I know in order to fix the issue but not use, here what I did.
1 - tried the local utility of windows to fix the issue but it reported that it cant find the gateway (failed). 2 - ipconfig /release and /renew to renew the IP (failed). 3 - removing the driver and reinstalling it again, note that I got the driver throw windows update, I deleted it in the machine and redownloaded again (failed). 4 - I thought to could be related to a virus, I did a full virus scan and it was not infected (failed).
My last option now is to format that machine and redo everything again, only after this I can say that the adapter hardware is having a issue.
Kindly advice me before doing the last option.

Called "The Greatest Show on Turf" during their Super Bowl-winning 1999 season, the Rams in recent seasons pretty much have become a comedy show.
St. Louis (1-7), which didn't play last week, snapped a franchise-record 17-game losing streak with a 17-10 road victory against Detroit on Nov. 1. Against the Saints, the Rams will be trying to snap an eight-game home losing streak.
First-year coach Steve Spagnuolo came to the Rams from the Giants with credentials as a top defensive coach. He built the unit that was the backbone of New York's Super Bowl championship team two seasons ago.
In St. Louis, Spagnuolo has plenty of work to do. The Rams went 2-14 last season and 3-13 in 2007. This season, they've been outscored 221-77.
The team does have one of the league's best players, running back Steven Jackson, who combines speed, power and receiving ability. Using him to try to control the ball undoubtedly will be in the game plan against the Saints.
Unfortunately for the Rams, there's only one of him.
The Rams rank last in the NFL in scoring, 26th in total offense and 25th in passing offense. They're tied for 13th in rushing. . . . Jackson, who is on pace to his fifth consecutive season with at least 1,000 yards rushing, clearly is the key player. He has carried 165 times for 784 yards and is tied with Adrian Peterson for third in the NFL in rushing. Jackson, who caught 90 passes in 2006, has 24 receptions this season. His 970 yards from scrimmage are fourth-most in the league. He's third in the league in first downs, with 32 by rushing and 12 by receiving. . . . Quarterback Marc Bulger, who was drafted by the Saints in 2000, became a two-time Pro Bowl player for St. Louis but is under fire this season. He's 95-for-170 for 956 yards and three touchdowns, with a passer rating of 68.2. Kyle Boller also has played, with similar results -- a 66.1 rating. . . . Keenan Burton, who caught five passes against Detroit, leads the Rams in receptions with 25. Receiver Donnie Avery and tight end Randy McMichael have 22 catches apiece. . . . Starting guard Richie Incognito likely will miss the game because of a foot injury.
The Rams rank 28th in the league in total defense, 27th in rushing defense and 22nd in passing defense. . . . Defensive end Leonard Little, who is in his 12th season, leads the team in sacks with five, and defensive end James Hall has three sacks. . . . Rookie middle linebacker James Laurinaitis is having a solid season. He made seven tackles against Detroit and is tied with strong safety James Butler for the team lead in interceptions with two. . . . The Saints will recognize cornerback Quincy Butler, who was on New Orleans' practice squad last season. Against the Lions, Butler made four tackles and broke up two passes. . . . The Rams released safety Anthony Smith last week. . . . The Rams have had nine takeaways this season, second fewest in the league, and their turnover margin (minus-seven) ties them for 27th in the league in that category. . . . Second-year defensive end Chris Long is the son of former NFL great Howie Long.
The Saints, who gave up a touchdown to Buffalo on a fake field-goal attempt, will have to be wary against the Rams. St. Louis scored on a pass to tight end Daniel Fells on a fake field-goal attempt against the Lions. . . . Punter Donnie Jones, a former LSU player in his sixth season in the NFL, is averaging 46 yards per punt and ranks fourth in the league in net average (41.3). He has placed 15 of 43 punts inside the 20. . . . Place-kicker Josh Brown is 7-for-10 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-3 on kicks of at least 50 yards. He has made more than 63 percent of his attempts of 50 yards or more in his career. . . . Danny Amendola, the Rams' return man on punts and kickoffs, suffered a concussion against Detroit but is expected to play. He is averaging 8.5 yards per punt return, seventh best in the league, and 24 yards per kickoff return.
Nov., 11, 2007
The Rams were 0-8 coming into the game at the Superdome, and the Saints were on a four-game winning streak. But St. Louis won 37-29, dealing a severe blow to New Orleans' playoff hopes. Bulger was 27-of-33 for 302 yards and two touchdowns.
"It's been tough, the first eight games. But I think guys got refreshed during the bye week. And we're coming back and trying to get ready for this challenge." -- Rams defensive end Leonard Little in the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
9-5: Rams' record since 1995 when coming off a bye.
6-2: Rams' record at home since 1995 when coming off a bye.

An outbreak of measles, a highly contagious viral illness that is spread through respiration, is being reported in many states including California, New York City, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania, just to name a few.
According to a March 31 report in TODAY's Health, Dr. Nancy Snyderman, NBC News' chief medical editor, discussed the measles outbreak in Southern California, and the symptoms of the illness.
"There have been 49 cases confirmed in the state so far this year. Eight big pockets are accounting for 77 percent of cases in this country and there are two reasons: under-vaccinated children or unvaccinated children," and experts expect that more outbreaks will be seen."
Classic symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny eyes or nose, and a recognizable rash. The highly contagious virus spreads when an infected person sneezes or coughs.
Measles cases had been greatly reduced in the United States after the introduction of the measles vaccine in the 1960's; but in recent years there has been more fear when it comes to getting children immunized, placing the emphasis on linking immunizations with numerous health-related problems, including Autism.
Dr. Greg Wallace, Head of the Centers for Disease Control Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Polio team, said that "vaccinated people can carry the disease, and when they come into contact with unvaccinated people these people contract the illness. Ninety percent of the time unvaccinated people get the illness."
"It's the most contagious of the vaccinated diseases, Wallace said, and because there are "so few effective treatments for measles, vaccines are the best way to prevent it." Wallace continued, "The vaccine does work and these outbreaks don't occur unless you have enough people who have not been vaccinated."
The Michigan Department of Community Health has been urging Michigan residents to get a measles vaccine as far back as 2011. "This is especially important for persons planning international travel, because the current U.S. situation is largely the result of measles outbreaks occurring elsewhere in the world," said Dr. Dean Sienko, Michigan health department acting chief medical executive. "But it's also important that non-travelers be protected. We have to keep our guard up against measles by having as many of our citizens protected as possible. This is an easily preventable disease."
