Panthers Anticipate Nieuwendyk's Return
by IwoCPO on 11/06/06 at 09:36 AM ET
Comments (0)
Joe Nieuwendyk can't wait to return to the Panthers lineup Wednesday against the Rangers, and the Panthers can't wait either. ''It's huge,'' team captain Olli Jokinen said. ``If you look at our record, especially last year, we didn't win too many games without him. What he brings to our hockey club is just amazing.'' Nieuwendyk, 40, has missed the past three games after triggering back spasms Oct. 25 against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden.Continue reading

'Back to the Future' hoverboard is not even a cool hoax
By John-Henry Perera on March 5, 2014 at 2:47 PM
Hoverboards are cool. A viral video showcasing a fictional company with fictional hoverboards alongside celebrities you have probably forgotten about is not. HUVr, a tech company no one has heard about, released two YouTube videos on March 4 about their product: a functional hoverboard. The video features numerous celebrities, including former pro skateboard Tony Hawk, […] …

Classical music, rock and roll, country and western, rhythm and blues - you'd be hard-pressed to find a genre of music where you wouldn't hear the booming, robust sound of the double bass. The largest and lowest-pitched member of the viol family, the double bass dates back to the 15th century and is widely known as the patriarch of the string family. And while the double bass is a standard member of a traditional orchestra's string section, it's equally at home on stage with many of today's chart-topping music groups. Whether you're learning to play one of Joseph Haydn's famous double bass concertos or are looking to slap the strings in a psychobilly quartet, you're going to find the double bass to suit your musical needs in this section.
For student musicians who are looking to buy a double bass of their own, an outfit like the Etude BASS-ICS String Bass Outfit is an excellent choice for players who are still fine-tuning their talents. This laminated maple-top bass is available in your choice of 3/4 or 1/2 sizes and comes with everything you need to make music: quality steel-core strings, a brazilwood French bow and a standard gig bag.
Or, if you want a double bass with hardcore looks to complement your killer sound, look no further than the LR-102 Lee Rocker Tuxedo Bass LR-102 from Silver Creek. Endorsed by famed rockabilly bassist Lee Rocker, this sleek upright bass is designed with eye-catching black-and-white coloring that commands attention on the stage. Add in the fact that it's built with ebony parts and brass machine heads, set up with an adjustable bass bridge and equipped with Kolstein Heritage bass strings, and you've got a double bass that was made to play that energizing, enthusiastic rockabilly sound.
It doesn't matter if you're a budding orchestral student, a touring rocker or a chamber musician - the simple truth is that everyone deserves to play a well-made double bass. Thankfully, all the best-selling and top-rated double bass brands are here, including Cremona, Ren Wei Shi, Bellafina, Knilling and more. For a better idea of which double bass best represents your signature playing style, try to spend some time in this catalog - in the end, you'll be glad you did.

Protecting Playing Fields
Playing fields are one of the most important resources for sport in England but many of them become waterlogged or in a state of disrepair, so we are investing £25 million of National Lottery funding into improving community sports fields.
The Protecting Playing Fields funding programme is part of Sport England's strategy which is focused on helping more people acquire lifelong sporting habits. It will invest in capital projects to either create new natural turf pitches or improve existing ones that need levelling or drainage works.
The programme is being delivered via funding rounds with approximately £3 million allocated to Round 8. The first seven rounds of funding have benefited 414 projects. Initial decisions on applications received for Round 8 were made in February 2016.
We are currently developing our new strategy to support grassroots sport for 2016-2021. As such, we are considering the future of the Protecting Playing Fields programme and a decision on whether there will be another programme round will be made as part of the new strategy. We are committed to creating more opportunities to participate in sport through improving and creating new facilities. If another funding round is agreed, an announcement will be made on this page.
Sport England requires a legal charge (or restriction on title for local authorities) over the playing pitch land as a form of security for 25 years on the investment on successful projects BEFORE work starts on site.
This means that the charge must be in place and registered at HM Land Registry (and where relevant, at Companies House) before any physical work can begin on your pitch(es).
To enable the charge or restriction to be in place and registered in time for your project to start at the earliest time, successful projects will need to instruct their solicitor to carry out this work as soon as the award offer is accepted. It is advised that you check your lease or freehold document to ensure there is no reason why the charge or restriction cannot be put in place. You may also want to check your organisation will consent to this requirement.
Further information about grant security is provided in our FAQs.

A novel Kalman filtering/smoothing algorithm is presented for efficient and accurate estimation of vocal tract resonances or formants, which are natural frequencies and bandwidths of the resonator from larynx to lips, in fluent speech. The algorithm uses a hidden dynamic model, with a state-space formulation, where the resonance frequency and bandwidth values are treated as continuous-valued hidden state variables. The observation equation of the model is constructed by an analytical predictive function from the resonance frequencies and bandwidths to LPC cepstra as the observation vectors. This nonlinear function is adaptively linearized, and a residual or bias term, which is adaptively trained, is added to the nonlinear function to represent the iteratively reduced piecewise linear approximation error. Details of the piecewise linearization design process are described. An iterative tracking algorithm is presented, which embeds both the adaptive residual training and piecewise linearization design in the Kalman filtering/smoothing framework. Experiments on estimating resonances in Switchboard speech data show accurate estimation results. In particular, the effectiveness of the adaptive residual training is demonstrated. Our approach provides a solution to the traditional "hidden formant problem," and produces meaningful results even during consonantal closures when the supra-laryngeal source may cause no spectral prominences in speech acoustics

A solid may undergo a phase transition due to internal interaction competition or external stimuli. It is increasingly recognized that the lattice degrees of freedom often play a crucial role, especially in the vicinity of competing phases, where many intriguing properties exist. A crystal structure transition is usually accompanied by a drastic change in the mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and other properties. In situ study of the microscopic structural information of materials during phase transformation is of ultimate importance not only in understanding fundamental mechanisms but also in developing and processing advanced materials for broad technological applications. The availability of synchrotron-generated high-flux and high-energy x-rays has significantly advanced the field of materials research because of the deep penetration and low absorption of high-energy x-rays. Synchrotron high-energy x-ray diffraction facilities provide great research opportunities, especially for probing structural phase transformations of bulk materials in real time and in realistic conditions. In this overview we present technical details and capabilities of a synchrotron high-energy x-ray facility and its applications to in situ structural investigations of phase transitions in advanced materials in research areas ranging from condensed-matter and materials science and engineering to energy science.

Jon Daniels: "Go For it" or "Stick To It"?
Two years after sitting down with Texas Rangers' general manager Jon Daniels for this positive story with the negative headline, I had a long chat with him last week.
Daniels deserves tons of credit for Texas' No. 1 farm system, for strokes of genius like Andruw Jones and Darren O'Day and Elvis Andrus, and for, let's face it, shoving the Rangers into a pennant race a year ahead of schedule.
But as Friday's trading deadline approaches, Daniels has a dilemma.
Pitchers like Ian Snell and Cliff Lee may no longer be available, but does he "go for it" and trade prospects for a pitcher who could push Texas closer to a title right here and now? Or does he "stick to it" and continue the patient, building process that has the Rangers stocked with one of the best futures in baseball?

Let's ask JD, shall we? ...
"It was easier to plot our progress in 2010 than 2009, but the players really determine that and they've played well enough to be in it this season," he said. "But, in reality, we're looking at this as a 10-year period of success, not one or two."
With that in mind, does Daniels mortgage some of his team's future for somewhat of an upgrade this year?
"No," he said emphatically. "Now, it is a challenge. Because you have to weigh everything. We have to find a middle ground. It's a clear vision that we're not going to be able to compete with the Yankees and Red Sox and Angels on the open free-agent market. The better baseball model for us is to hone and develop our own talent. But I also understand that this franchise and our fans haven't enjoyed a lot of success the past decade. So if there's a move we see fit to improve our club, we'll do it."

Last week my daughter and I attended two significant events. She went to a Taylor Swift concert, and I attended the Global Leadership Summit.
No, I don't spoil my kids with extravagant gifts. I gave my daughter the concert tickets as a combination birthday/Christmas/2014 graduation/future wedding gift. Fortunately, Ms. Swift provided a great shared memory for my daughter and a best friend that could last a lifetime; the two agreed that there will never, ever, ever be a better concert. According to several texts, Tweets, and Instagrams, they deeply appreciated the experience. I printed a few to tuck in her next birthday card as a reminder of what happened, lest memories fail. Yes, this was the gift that will keep on giving—thank you, Taylor.
Two days earlier, a few teammates and I spent Thursday and Friday at a local church that served as a satellite broadcast location for the GLS, an annual event from the Willow Creek Association. While reports from the Taylor Swift concert say that everyone sang all the words to every one of her songs, the Summit featured leadership takeaways that quieted the crowd and commanded introspection.
My memory is sketchy at times—selective, according to my wife—but I am a firm believer that writing thoughts makes them easier to retain, so I took many notes and later printed quotes captured by a few bloggers who covered the event. I'll share four (of many) ideas from the Summit that struck powerful chords with me as a leader and continue to ring in my ears.
1. Leadership requires courage in large amounts. And because Bill Hybels devoted his entire opening talk on this topic, it must be an issue for many other leaders and not just me. Whew, what a relief! Too often, leadership talks leave me feeling wildly inadequate to continue under the weight of an organization rather than motivated to make a difference. Speakers certainly don't set out with that goal, but many messages share the ideal rather than what's real. They can come just short of saying, "C'mon, it's just that easy," while leaving out the barriers and challenges.
Leadership is many things, but easy is not one.
The very welcome turn down reality road came immediately after Hybels said, "God didn't make you a leader so that you could merely reside in a position—God made you a leader to move people from 'here' to 'there.'"
He continued, "It looks so easy when I just draw this on a chart. But it is a battle. It requires courage."
"Finally," I whispered to myself, "someone admits it's not so simple. I'm gonna make it."
Hybels' continued use of Joshua 1:9, God's words to a new leader, etched that verse into my active memory: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Special emphasis belongs on the words "be strong and courageous."
2. Leaders get hurt. A lot. Hybels shared more reality: Leaders stand as lightning rods for criticism intended for their organization, them personally, or any other axe that needs grinding. Maybe that's why God included the words "do not be discouraged" in his encouragement to Joshua, along with the source of strength to combat the negative: "for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
The only wise choice: Forgive and move on. Enough said.
3. "You can choose courage, or you can choose comfort, but you can't have both. They are mutually exclusive. So when you sign up to be brave you are signing up to get your butt kicked." Dr. BrenÉ Brown shared this truth, which complements point 1 above.

Fez submitted to Microsoft for certification
Fez is done, apparently. This Polytron tweet confirms the 2D/3D indie platformer has been submitted for certification.
The anticipated indie game was supposed to release in early 2010.
Fez features 2D/3D shifts similar to those seen in Super Paper Mario and Crush. According to Wikipedia, "The use of Escher-like optical illusions also predominates gameplay in a manner similar to Echochrome. Gameplay is similar to that of Armor Games' Sky Island."
Fez is one of the games featured in Indie Game: The Movie.

Recently, the NY Times published four letters examining whether we should treat terrorists as criminals. No one suggested the terrorists may have a case against us. When we are bound by law ( excepting, of course, the current occupant), and we attempt to bind the terrorists by force, don't we admit their argument? Klinkenborg suggests we may never be at home in Nature because we can't possibly admit her argument against our interests, it suggests we are still an adolescent species, perhaps incapable of sustained existence in our natural habitat, fiercely defending a self-centered delusion by force majeur, too reminiscent of Prince George.
Both opinions are based on our ability to control others or our environment. Forgive the familiarity, but that is so nineties. Control is good for some purposes, not others. Driving a car, or managing a science experiment, control is essential. In human relations, control is not only counterproductive, but mutually depreciating. If we must control Nature and humanity, we will never appreciate their gift to us. Growth is stifled, innovation is lost. Nero was a child of control, Marcus Aurelius superseded his parents.
Perhaps the terrorists would have a case if there were a court of law that would stand against us. If we must kill them because we don't dare hear their argument, what, then, are we? Certainly not the America I was taught to believe in. Doesn't the argument devolve into capital versus humanity, preconceived notions versus living things? Or, as the terrorists would say, our rules against your life. Are we, then, the true terrorists? If we insist on holding our world in our clutches a simple idea can defeat us. We lose America by enforcing it. A defensible police state is not a free society. A free society is a fortress of rights and free ideas, the guarantor of a free humanity. Caesar's wife must be beyond reproach.

Alcohol Drug Rehab Dual Diagnosis Mental Illness Addiction Treatment Centers
Recovery Found Easy has listings for alcohol drug treatment centers, alcoholism treatment centers and treatment resources throughout the U.S.
If you're ready to make a change and change your life, try a Fitbit tracker today.
Using Recovery Found Easy is simple. Just view our pre-selected state licensed and government regulated alcohol and drug treatment centers from the rotating banners we provided, and click one that fits your needs.
Addiction is generally considered to be a progressive condition which if left unchecked, will continue to get worse with time. The typical route to full-blown addiction starts with experimentation, occasional recreational use, regular use, habitual use, dependent use/addiction. There are many factors that contribute to the onset of addiction which, in each case, is different. For this reason, effective treatment can only take place once these factors have been identified. Problems relating to drug and alcohol use can be experienced at any point along the addiction route.
We here at Recovery Found Easy are a service helping alcoholics, addicts, those dependent on prescription drugs, and their families find an effective drug rehab and intervention for alcoholism and drug addiction of the highest quality.
There are thousands of drug rehabilitation and alcohol rehabilitation organizations in this country, and knowing which one to send your loved one to is a daunting task. Therefore we have simplified the process, hence our name Recovery Found Easy.
Medically administered detoxification from alcohol, prescription medications, heroin, cocaine and crystal meth are also available. If you or someone you know needs help, there are many options available. Inpatient Residential, Outpatient, 12-Step based programs and alternative treatment programs exist with options available for every individual in any age group. We encourage you to investigate what treatment options are available and appropriate specific to the situation.
The Place – Sober Living
Sober Living homes are like any other, having rules and structure. They are temporary sober living arrangements for people to get their lives back on track, places for recovery fellowship and support while transitioning back to every day life. The Place Sober Living provides independent living with accountability for men and women in recovery who want to stay sober.
The Road To Recovery
"The Place" sober living is a structured sober living environment, not a drug/alchohol treatment facility or detox center. What The Place sober living offers you as a participant is safe housing once you are clean and sober. As you begin your battle against addiction, you will receive support and encouragement from your peers.

Getting Clean and Sober: Recognizing the Problem
For a chemically dependent person, the first step toward recovery is recognizing that there's a problem. The second step is to quit using the chemical, whether it's alcohol or another drug. Unless the chemicals are gotten out of the way, the chemically dependent person never can know which problems in life are drug-related and which are not. Getting sober involves the body and the mind. Learning about the process can help make it easier to start and maintain.
Getting sober starts with the body. If you've been dependent on alcohol or drugs, your body has gotten used to that substance, and will take some time to adjust to being drug-free. It's best to have professional help—either from a treatment center or a doctor experienced in chemical dependency issues.
You can help your body adjust to sobriety by exercising, eating nutritious foods and getting plenty of rest. Exercise is generally healthful, and also produces endorphins, a natural body chemical that helps relieve anxiety and increase positive feelings.
It's best to build up a regular exercise program, starting small, and gradually increasing the amount you do. Be moderate. It's possible to become obsessive about exercise or injure yourself by exercising too much.
Good nutrition for sobriety requires lots of fresh vegetables, fruits and complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains. Processed foods, additives, refined sugar, caffeine and high-fat foods should be avoided. Caffeine and sugar, in particular, may tend to increase cravings for drugs or alcohol.
Getting plenty of rest is also important, as sleep helps you adjust psychologically to living a sober life. You may have trouble sleeping at first. If so, try getting more exercise.
Five Sobering Facts – What Happens After Treatment
1. Most people completing addiction treatment are fragilely balanced between sustained recovery and resumption of alcohol and drug use: more than half will consume alcohol or other drugs in the year following discharge from treatment.
2. The window of greatest vulnerability for relapse after treatment is the first 30-90 days following discharge.
3. Between 25-35% of people who complete addiction treatment will be readmitted to treatment within one year, and 50% will be readmitted within five years.
4. Recovery is not fully stabilized (point at which future risk of future lifetime relapse drops below 15%) until four to five years of sustained recovery.
5. Sustained addiction can be lethal: relapses following addiction treatment produce high death rates from accidental poisoning/overdose, liver disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, AIDS, suicide and homicide.
The Good News
• The positive effects of addiction treatment are substantial, as measured by sustained sobriety (about one-third of those treated) and decreases in substance use and substance-related problems.
• Active participation in treatment aftercare meetings and recovery support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous can significantly improve your chance of permanent recovery, improve your quality of life and prolong your life expectancy.
• Combining professional treatment and attending recovery support meetings improve your chances of recovery better than either activity alone.
• Lifetime recovery rates of people with a substance use disorder approach or exceed 50%. There are millions of individuals and their families in long-term recovery from the effects of severe substance use problems.
• There are multiple pathways and styles (secular, spiritual, religious) of long-term addiction recovery.
• Recovering people can go on to lead lives of significant achievement and community service.
There are a number of ways of financing addiction treatment, depending on the type of program entered and the particular clinic or hospital being used. Many organizations have specialty programs, and must be funded in particular ways.
Many specialty care locations are small outpatient clinics. These are normally found within a larger health care facility. These locations have an organizational structure, specific staff members and patterns of work days and work weeks, and other resources available to patients that are not overseen by physicians. Minimal medical oversight may be used in the medical system's outpatient facility, since patients come for treatment and leave after a short time.
In many cases, primary care facilities have no reimbursements for treating those with addictions, so it can be an incentive to limit expensive or new drugs. As a patient, you should understand that this does not mean the care is limited, but it does require the use of older methods before the more expensive treatments are tried. In the end, this saves the facility money and saves you money, though the treatment may or may not take as long, depending on what occurs.
There are many alcoholism recovery support programs available around the United States. The two major support programs are Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anonand and Alateen. Alcoholics Anonymous focuses on those who have drinking problems, while Al-Anon and Alateen works with those who have been affected by others' drinking.
When you want to look into how you should be financing addiction treatment, consider taking your information to a hospital. As something run by the government, the hospital is most likely to have support programs and an easier time financing and breaking down the bills for treatment. Some hospitals, like those in Ohio, have a program called HCAP. This is the Hospital Care Assurance Program. This is provided by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and works with hospitals to provide patients with funding for treatments and procedures.
Many clinics, such as outpatient clinics, accept insurance and other forms of payment. Medicare and Medicaid are often accepted by inpatient and outpatient facilities. Veteran's insurance is commonly accepted, especially at clinics run by the Department of Veteran's Affairs. Most clinics accept debit, credit, or cash for payments associated with treatment. Although some smaller clinics do not accept checks, major facilities, such as hospitals and large rehabilitation centers tend to.
Many treatment options are available once financing is decided upon. If you or a loved one would like to learn more about financing addiction treatment and how financing can be accomplished, please call 800-660-0986 or fill out a short contact form to get the information you need.
Let's Get Sober Together | Losing the Drugs
Here are a few realities with getting sober to consider:
- You can't predict the effect that a drug can have on you, if it's the first time you try it, and even if it's a small amount.
- Everyone's brain and body chemistry are different. Everyone's tolerance for drugs is different.
- Using drugs can lead to abuse, addiction, serious health problems, and even death.
- Drugs that are legal—prescription and over-the counter (OTC) medications—can be just as dangerous as illegal drugs.
Long Term Addiction Recovery Solutions
Professional treatment of alcohol and drug problems can start someone on the road to recovery, but a few weeks of treatment should not be mistaken for long-term recovery.
If you have severe alcohol and other drug problems, you should know that successful recovery from these problems involves significant changes over time in:
• personal identity and beliefs
• family and social relationships
• daily lifestyle

My wife's Samsung netbook, which has Windows XP Home Edition OEM and a 5400 SATA 2 HDD, has finally crawled to (almost) a halt, and I've decided to install an OCZ SSD into it. The problem is that the machine came with no recovery media, but the recovery partition exists and I can boot into it.
How can I go about creating a bootable DVD from that partition, and then boot off that to install on the SSD?
NOTE: My aim after this is to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium, as the upgrade option is a lot cheaper than purchasing a retail or DSP equivalent.

Williams, Mary Helen
Mary Helen Williams of Fairfield, Connecticut and Landgrove, Vermont died at home on Sept. 3 from metastatic
breast cancer
. She recently celebrated her 90th birthday surrounded by her family. Mrs. Williams was born in Fairfield on July 5, 1923 to Abner Wheeler Mitchell, originally of Washington, CT, and Ella Kenyon Mitchell, originally from Binghamton, NY. She graduated from Walnut Hill School and Colby Junior College, now Colby-Sawyer College. She married Arthur Collins Williams, also of Fairfield, on June 29, 1946. For Mrs. Williams, family, especially her husband, always came first. Whenever she celebrated a milestone, she asked that it be "family only" and she created festive Christmas holidays every year, including the most recent one. She is survived by her husband, her four children, Katherine Williams Krents of Bethesda, MD, Charles Gallup Williams (Jacqueline Wygant) of Portland, OR, Arthur "Bill" Collins Williams, Jr. of Fairfield, and Douglas Kenyon Williams (Deidre Klein Williams) of Easton. She also is survived by seven grandchildren, James Eliot Krents (Lisa Ventry) of Brooklyn, NY, William Lawrence Krents (Ali DiMatteo) of Washington, DC, Michael Justin Krents of Silver Spring, MD, Laurel Wygant Williams (Carl Kloos) of Pasadena, CA, Kendra Justine Williams of Yakima, WA, Rachel Lilian Williams and Caroline Elizabeth Williams, both of Easton, and two great grandchildren, Charles Bon Krents and Nina Sophia Krents. Mrs. Williams worked as a secretary while her husband finished Yale College and Yale Law School after returning from service in World War II. After raising her children, she enjoyed a 20-year career as a residential real estate agent for Barker Walsh and Jensen Smith. She was a member of many charitable organizations, including the Junior League of Bridgeport and the Bridgeport Ladies Charitable Society, the oldest continuous charitable society in the country. Over the course of her life, she served on the Board of the Burroughs Home in Bridgeport and volunteered there for a number of years. She volunteered for many other organizations, including Bridgeport Hospital, Operation Hope and the Woodfield Home. She was the first baby baptized in the United Congregational Church in Bridgeport after it was built in 1923, where she had been a lifelong and active member and arranged for the weekly chancel flowers for over 50 years. She was a member at Brooklawn Country Club and Fairfield Beach Club in Fairfield, as well as Ekwanok Country Club in Manchester VT. An avid and competitive golfer, she and her husband enjoyed many tournaments at their various clubs with great success. They won the Husband and Wife Championship at Brooklawn twice and were runners-up three other times. She also won the Brooklawn Club Championship and made 3 holes-in-1 on other occasions. Mrs. Williams was an ardent dog lover, especially of her precious boxers Guerri, Rocky, Clyde, Bonnie and Sunnie. The family would like to express its gratitude to Nuha Musallam for her ongoing extraordinary and loving caregiving. A memorial service will be held at the United Congregational Church, 877 Park Avenue, Bridgeport, CT, at 2 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 8, with a reception at the church following the service. In lieu of flowers, Mrs. Williams may be honored with contributions to the Bridgeport Ladies Charitable Society, PO Box 320132, Fairfield, CT 06824. To send online condolences please visit

"Faces of the Recession" Blogger Documents Desperation, Hope
Sometimes, the journalist becomes the story.
Andy Cook was laid off as a staff photographer for the Baltimore Jewish Times in October 2008. So the Cooper Union graduate packed up his camera and took to the road.
The photographer decided to photograph folks just like him: laid-off workers.
But as the recession pounded on, he ran out of money. Since his last blog post in June, he's applied for several grants to refuel the project with no luck.
His photos can be viewed on his Faces of the Recession blog. His trip spanned from February to March and profiled 25 people. The route formed a square frame: from Baltimore south to Florida, west to Austin, Texas, north to Minneapolis, then back east.
He advertised his project through friends as well as online on Facebook and Craigslist, building his route around responses he received.
The emails poured in and he charted his course.
One man in Michigan talked about people stealing toilet paper and food from Wal-Mart out of desperation. A woman in D.C. expressed concern about her ability to provide for her retired parents after her law firm laid her off. A recent college graduate who couldn't find work told Cook "I'm depressed all the time".
"I really tried to focus on finding out how people were dealing with it," he says. "I tried to put a hopeful spin on it."
Some sought opportunity. A Texas entrepreneur started building tiny houses, bucking decades of big-house culture. A young woman moved from South Carolina to Atlanta to pursue a passion for acting. An architecture layoff sparked on woman to seek further industry accreditation.
Being recently laid off himself helped him approach often vulnerable subjects, he says. An understanding of the local economies, as well as the dismal nation picture became clearer.
"For some people," he says, "there just was no work for them."
Cook recently relocated to New Orleans "on a whim" and still looks for freelance work.
Since Cook began his project in February, the unemployment rate has increased from 8.1% to 10.2% in October.
"It's always hard for me to believe the numbers," he says.
He still keeps in touch with several of his interview subjects. "It hasn't really changed much for them."

This is a great theme, but unfortunately not ready for translation yet.
The supplied .POT file is completely empty, so you'll have to generate your own .POT file using this method:
Even after that's done and you've translated all the strings, there's quite a bit of stuff still untranslated due to code errors the authors made.
The creators of this theme made some errors in the code that makes certain strings untranslatable. The EDIT-link is for example coded like this in the theme:
<?php edit_post_link( '- edit ', '', ''); ?>
It should have been this:

When the translation issues are fixed this theme deservers 5 stars.

February 19, 2014 by Scott Martin
Depending on the weather and where the lake is, bass are starting to migrate toward the shallows to spawn. As a result, your job is to find out how far the fish have moved up a creek or bay, both distance and depth-wise.
A lot of times, I'll start at a main-lake point and work my way in until I start getting bites. If you catch them on that first third of the way in, chances are they're still in cold mode and will want a big jig or jerkbait fished really slowly. If they've already moved to the middle area of a cove or creek, they might be holding around docks or other cover and go for a square-bill crankbait or spinnerbait. Then, if they're up in the spawning area and cover, the usual array of baits that work for bedding fish comes into play.
So make sure to find out what stage the fish are in, and use that as a starting point or pattern everywhere else on the lake, all else being equal. You could start at the end and work out, but usually, starting at the main lake and working in is more effective - and you don't waste as much time. Then it's just a matter of following the fish during the next days and weeks and changing your lure selections to match the stage they're in.

Brief Synopsis
There has been a growing recognition in the post-Cold War era that culture has increasingly become a factor in determining the course of today's complex and interconnected world. The U.S. experience in Afghanistan and Iraq extended this trend to national security and military operations. There is also a growing recognition by the national security community that culture is an important factor at the policy and strategy levels. Cultural proficiency at the policy and strategic levels means the ability to consider history, values, ideology, politics, religion, and other cultural dimensions and assess their potential effect on policy and strategy. The Analytical Cultural Framework for Strategy and Policy (ACFSP) is one systematic and analytical approach to the vital task of viewing the world through many lenses. The ACFSP identifies basic cultural dimensions that seem to be of fundamental importance in determining such behavior and thus are of importance in policy and strategy formulation and outcomes. These dimensions are (1) Identity, or the basis for defining identity and its linkage to interests; (2) Political Culture, or the structure of power and decisionmaking; and (3) Resilience, or the capacity or ability to resist, adapt or succumb to external forces. Identity is the most important, because it ultimately determines purpose, values and interests that form the foundation for policy and strategy to attain or preserve those interests.

Hi, I am a bit naive on this issue and need a little bit more understanding and clarification.
In the past I have had a few bank transfer payments via my wordpress website that I never received. On all occassions I assumed they orders were cancelled but I am begining to think it's a process maybe I do not know about.
Considering all the bank transfer information is right, when someone pays would it automatically go to the bank or is it just an alert for something I have to do before the payment is accepted? Would I need to take their info to the bank? If Not then what am I doing wrong? Because everytime I follow up with the bank the money hasn't been received.

BERKLEY, CA -- The tenth-ranked Texas A&M women's basketball team (4-0) hits the road for the second time this season traveling to the Colliers International Classic on Dec. 5-6 in Berkeley, Calif. The Aggies will face Southern Illinois (0-4) in the opening round of the tournament on Saturday, Dec. 5 at 4:30 p.m. (CT).
They will move on to play either host No. 19 California (3-2) or Colorado State (5-2) in the consolation or championship game on Sunday, Dec. 6 at 2 or 4:30 p.m. (CT). All games to be played at Haas Pavilion on the Berkeley campus. A&M is coming off a 106-56 rout of Stephen F. Austin on Dec. 2 which marked the third-most points scored in a game in school history.
The Aggies, who are usually known for their signature pressure defense, have nine players who are contributing to a 53.5 percent shooting percentage from the floor and to an equally impressive 53.8 percent accuracy from beyond the three-point arc. They currently rank among the top five teams in the country in scoring offense (91.5) and are limiting opponents defensively to a 33.2 field-goal percentage and 26.2 three-point field goal percentage. A&M will enjoy four days in the Bay Area with sightseeing opportunities to the Golden Gate Bridge and Pier 39. This will be one of the toughest stretches of the season for the Aggies as they embark on a four-game in seven-days schedule with a home date with North Texas awaiting them upon their return to College Station on Dec. 8.
Southern Illinois is still searching for its first win of the season under the direction of first-year head coach Missy Tiber who looks to rebuild the program which returns only five letterwinners and one starter from last year's 9-19 squad. Texas A&M will be the second top 25 opponent the Salukis will face in their first five games of the season after dropping a 90-64 decision at home to No. 18 Vanderbilt on Nov. 18. Like the Aggies, SIU has relied on balanced scoring throughout its lineup with four players averaging double figures including a team-leading 14.0 points by freshman guard Teri Oliver, who is one of nine newcomers on the roster.
California has played a very challenging non-conference schedule with its two losses of the season coming against a pair of top 10 foes in No. 8 Baylor (69-49) on Nov. 22 and No. 3 Ohio State (83-71) on Nov. 29. The Golden Bears are paced by All-American and National Player of the Year candidate Alexis Gray-Lawson who is averaging 13.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. There are five players over 6-foot-2 in height on the Cal roster which factors into their current 42.4 average on the boards this season which is the best by any of the teams in this weekend's tournament field. The Bears were picked to finish second behind Stanford in the preseason Pac-10 Coaches Poll.
Colorado State is currently on a three-game winning streak with victories over Texas State (66-54) on Nov. 27, Delaware (67-44) on Nov. 28 and Idaho (65-55) on Dec. 1. The Rams were picked to finish eighth in the preseason Mountain West Conference poll and finished 10-21 during the 2008-09 season. They have three players who are averaging double figures in the scoring column including 19.0 points per game by leading scorer Kim Mestdagh. CSU is also averaging 42.0 rebounds per game behind the board work of Meghan Heimstra who boasts double-double numbers with 10.3 ppg and 10.3 rpg.

Texas A&M has not faced all three teams in the Colliers International Classic tournament field since the late 70's and early 80's. Southern Illinois and California lead 1-0 in the all-time series with the Aggies, while A&M holds a 1-0 advantage versus Colorado State. SIU last defeated A&M, 70-64, at the Southwest Missouri State Tournament held on Nov. 24, 1978 in Springfield, Mo. Meanwhile, the Aggies lost 84-55 on the road at Cal on Jan. 4, 1982 under former head coach Cherri Rapp in Berkeley, Calif. A&M went 0-3 in that particular three-game Bay Area swing falling also to Stanford and San Francisco. The Aggies' first and only meeting with Colorado State was a 65-54 road victory on Dec. 15, 1978 in Fort Collins, Colo.
Head coach Gary Blair will coach his 200th game from the Texas A&M sidelines against Southern Illinois on Saturday. His 100th career game in Aggieland was a 70-52 victory over North Texas on Dec. 18, 2006. Blair holds the distinction of being one of only five coaches in NCAA women's basketball history to take three different teams to the NCAA Tournament and is one of only two coaches to take three different teams to the Sweet 16. He is 22 wins shy of becoming the winningest women's basketball coach in school history in career victories (133). Former head coach Lynn Hickey compiled 154 career wins in 10 seasons with the Aggies from 1984-94. Blair, in just his seventh season, is the winningest coach in school history by percentage (.668).
• Texas A&M head coach Gary Blair has never faced Southern Illinois or California in his 25 years as a Division I head coach. He is 1-0 lifetime against Colorado State. This is the sixth time a Blair-led squad will play in the Bay Area, where he is an undefeated 5-0 with his teams including wins over Stanford, Kansas and Duke while the head coach at Arkansas from 1993-03 and versus San Francisco while an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech from 1980-85.
• The Aggies and Bears were both seeded in the Trenton Regional in the 2009 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship bracket. Texas A&M was the No. 2 seed for the second consecutive season, while the Bears received a No. 4 seed. The Aggies fell to sixth-seeded Arizona State (84-69) in the regional semifinals, while the Bears lost to top-seeded and eventual national champion Connecticut (77-53). Five games from now, A&M will face Arizona State in a Sweet 16 rematch at the Las Vegas Holiday Hoops Classic on Dec. 19 in Las Vegas.
• Both Texas A&M and Cal have signed back-to-back top 10 recruiting classes over the last two years. This year's Aggie freshmen along with preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year Danielle Adams were rated the sixth-best recruiting class in the country in 2008-09, followed up by the fifth-best recruiting class in 2009-10 with the highest-ever rated player in school history in 6-foot-4 center Karla Gilbert out of A&M Consolidated High School in College Station, Texas, and 5-foot-9 guard Kristen Grant out of Lamar High School in Arlington, Texas. Cal had the No. 1 recruiting class a year ago. The Bears will travel to College Station next season for a marquee non-conference matchup at Reed Arena.
Texas A&M 106, Stephen F. Austin 56
• For the fourth time this season, Texas A&M used the starting five of Sydney Colson, Tyra White, Tanisha Smith, Adaora Elonu and Damitria Buchanan (4-0).
• The Aggies scored 106 points against Stephen F. Austin to mark the 11th time ever to reach the 100-point plateau in a single game in the 36-year history of the program. It was the third-most points scored in school history behind the Reed Arena record of 109 points versus McNeese State on Nov. 21, 2006 and school-record points of 111 versus Lamar on Nov. 15, 1995.
• With the victory, A&M picked up only its fifth all-time win in the 18-game series with SFA. The Aggies have now five of the last six meetings between the two schools.
• Texas A&M head coach Gary Blair improved his career record to an undefeated 5-0 against his former school.
• Tanisha Smith scored 16 of her career-high 30 points in the first half of play. It was the most points scored by an Aggie in the Gary Blair Era surpassing 29 points by former great Morenike Atunrase versus Kansas on Jan. 15, 2006 and 29 points by all-time leading scorer Takia Starks against Texas Tech on Feb. 17, 2008. Smith became only the 15th player in school history on the 28th all-time occasion to reach 30-or-more points in a ballgame.
• A&M scored 57 points in the first half, the second-most points scored in a first half behind 61 first-half points against UT Pan American on Nov. 27, 1999. It was also the most points scored by the Aggies in the first half this season and first 50-point half since 50 first-half points versus Texas State on Dec. 13, 2008.
• Tyra White tied her previous career-high with 15 points in the first half alone. By game's end, she reset her career best with a 17-point outburst against Stephen F. Austin.
• Sydney Carter had a near perfect game from the floor going 3-for-5 from the field, 2-for-2 from the three-point line and a team season-high 8-for-8 (1.000) from the charity stripe. She ended the night with 16 points one short of tying her career high in the category.
• Adaora Elonu brought down a career-high 10 rebounds, her first double-digit board game of her career.
"Southern Illinois has a rich tradition and the state of Illinois produces a lot of great players. We will worry about Texas A&M on Saturday. We hope we have enough talent to overcome a team that hasn't won a ballgame yet. If we can do what we are supposed to do, it will give me the opportunity to rest some kids to get them ready for the most likely scenario of playing California on Sunday. But, you can't underestimate Colorado State. They've always had a good program and their new coach has turned their program around quickly. I'm not looking for the upset. I'm looking to play a ranked team. This is what helps us in the RPI and gets us ready for the Big 12 and the NCAA Tournament. California has probably been the most consistent team in the country in recruiting over the last three years. Coach (Joanne) Boyle has done a great job. They have a team that is very similar to us as far as athleticism. They are very strong with freshmen post players, they have a potential All-American in Alexis Gray-Lawson and they are playing at home. Anytime you have a chance to play a ranked team, you have to do what's best for your program and your conference. This would be a huge win for us, if we can pull it off. We will have to tighten our rotation if we can get that far this weekend." – Texas A&M head coach Gary Blair on the Colliers International Classic tournament field
"We know it's going to be tough and it's not going to be easy for us this weekend. We have to work hard and be prepared for what is coming. We know a lot of the teams, especially California, will be competitive. We just have to be ready. For Cal, their point guard, Alexis Gray-Lawson compares to (former A&M point guard) Aqua Franklin. Their post play is going to be a key factor. We have to rebound, get on the boards and know where their shooters are at all times. Other than that, we have to play hard, do what we normally do and mainly have fun out there." – Freshman forward/guard Cierra Windham on traveling to the Colliers International Classic this weekend
"It's always great to go back home. You always feel comfortable, but at the same time, you wish you could be closer, but the atmosphere is a benefit. I'll still be able to see my parents and also some family and friends who live in the Bay Area who will come out and support our team this weekend." - Southern California native Cierra Windham on returning home to the Golden State
All Texas A&M women's basketball games can be heard via a radio broadcast on the Texas A&M Sports Network. Play-by-play announcer Mike Wright will call the action live from Haas Pavilion alongside color analyst and former player A'Quonesia Franklin on KZNE 1150 AM. A live audio feed will also be available on www.AggieAthletics.com.

No, Tom Brady Hasn't Taken a Job at Texas Tech [VIDEO]
It's on Facebook. And again, it isn't true. Tom Brady has not taken a job at Texas Tech.
It's on Facebook. And again, it isn't true. Tom Brady has not taken a job at Texas Tech.
After the Cowboys lost to the Patriots 30-6, Tom Brady met with an injured Tony Romo on the field for an interesting exchange.
The Patriots came back from a 24-14 deficit to win Super Bowl XLIX
Looks like Kliff is really getting around!
Tom Brady took a bad blow to the face during the Patriots' win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday and ended up with a bloody nose. But Tom's teammate...and former Red Raider...Wes Welker isn't worried about him.
Gisele Bundchen must have gotten over her FURY at the New England Patriots' receivers. Or at least one of them.
Now that the heavenly entities have some spare time on their hands — what with Tim Tebow being idle until next season and all — supermodel Gisele Bundchen has sent out an email asking friends and family to pray for someone else, instead: her husband, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
There's a video on YouTube of a young Philadelphia Eagles fan crying while he watches last week's game against the Patriots. And he keeps screaming about how much he hates Tom Brady.

lenin and agostinho neto
Favorite thing: streets are named after grand revolutionaries..
ali from lebanon
Favorite thing: Despite the desparate economic situation in Mocambique, it would be hard to believe that there is still migration into Mocambique..
Ali, migrated here from Lebanon after the war stopped, along with his two cousins botht of whom are illiterate. they run two or three small shops .. selling bread, coffee and such. obviously they have prospered..
Fondest memory: It is nice to make immediate connections with people.. who share with you centuries of transmigratory patterns.. after all my own people have been migrating all over the world for more than 2000 years...
Faculty of Medicine
Favorite thing: People may hold different opinons about Fidel Jefe y Comandante de Cuba. But one thing no one can deny him.. NO SINGLE LEADER IN THE WORLD NOR ANY COUNTRY HAS HELPED AFRICA IN MEDICAL TERMS AS HE HAS.. Being a Doctor involved in Humanitarian work, this brings me great pride to be associated with a country which does so much to provide health care for Africa
Fondest memory: I will have an opportunity hopefully in the near future to teach the cultural aspects of Medicine in Mozambique.. THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE IS ALMOST ENTIRELY MADE UP OF SPECIALISTS FROM CUBA...
If you wish to help the students who are from
Mocambique and Sao Tome, please bring medical text books in Portuguese if you have access to them...

Greg Babe's guest editorial asks: "Why aren't Americans shouting, 'Keep chemical industry jobs here!'?" (C&EN, July 26, page 3.) The generic question is: Why aren't Americans shouting, "Keep our jobs here!"? The past several years have witnessed the drain of jobs in many sectors of the U.S. economy, and Americans have sheepishly rolled with the flow.
