Not everyone wants to work in a career that only strives to generate a high income. Some people choose to work for the greater good – helping people. If you're one of these people, consider the following educational paths.
Criminal Justice Masters Programs
People with a criminal justice degree work with criminals and crime victims. They use their exceptional analyzing skills to uncover the secrets of a crime that can lead to an arrest or referrals for help.
When criminal justice workers work with criminals, they help protect others from future crimes. By understanding why these criminals committed crimes, they can implement prevention programs that could save the life of potential victims.
They also help loved ones and victims receive the support they need after a traumatic crime. This can be greatly rewarding, especially when the victims or loved ones come back to tell the story of how they overcame the tragedy that occurred.
Masters Degree in Homeland Security
Homeland security graduate degree holders protect people from criminals. They ensure that wrongdoers are blocked from entering secured areas, and respond to crises before other emergency responders arrive.
By preventing tragedies, those working in homeland security enjoy the reward of knowing people can have peace of mind that they will remain safe at their place of work or residence. They feel good about themselves because they are the guards that people trust and depend on to do whatever it takes to keep dangers away.
Online Teacher Certification Programs
Being a teacher is making a difference in children's lives. Teachers give children the knowledge, skills, and tools to achieve what they want in life. They are instrumental in shaping children's lives, so they can be successful and happy.
Teachers' rewards are seeing children's faces light up when they learn something new and are able to complete exercises they once weren't able to do. Teachers can feel in their heart that they mean a lot to their students because they care about them and their future.
Choosing Helping Professions
People interested in helping people in their careers aren't usually focused on the money generated from their work. They are more concerned about how much they can give to other people through their work. If you feel this is the path you should take in your life, seek a masters in criminal justice program, masters in homeland security, or a teacher certification program to prepare yourself to help people as effectively as possible.

NEW: For a prettier blog interface, see the Wordpress version!
CS21A was a lot of fun. When I said, "As this is your first class, I will give you candy," they cheered - I guess they like playing along with that grade school thing. ;)
Dr. Sarmenta edited my history draft and made it much cleaner. Today I actually used Microsoft Powerpoint in class. I think I did okay - we switched to Microsoft Word for the spaghetti example. I should have saved it onto a diskette, though, to make it easier to upload.
We had a bit of a problem with some computers' Internet connections - they couldn't access http://richip.dhs.org/~sachac/cs21a/ from Windows XP, but Windows 98 worked fine.
FUTURE: Move course URL to first page of slides.
Doing the spaghetti example as discussion instead of seatwork seems like a very good idea. No one really knew how to cook spaghetti, so I turned that into class discussion instead, and the students contributed almost all the steps. We started with
- prepare the pasta - prepare the saurce - mix - add cheese - eat
Last summer, I modified the recipe onscreen, making it one long recipe. This time, I broke it down into methods. This is probably more effective - it just needs to be emphasized.
It was a lot of fun, especially because the students contributed a lot to the discussion.
How can I improve? Maybe next time, I can ask a student to sit up front and take notes. Then again, the students responded favorably to my reactions as I typed things in.
I wanted to make the following points:
- Algorithms are part of our everyday lives. - Algorithms can start out as high-level descriptions. - They need to be refined until they can be understood by the computer - Algorithms can be expressed in human languages. - Algorithms should stop.
How will I test this? (I should plan this before I do the lesson, you know.) I can give a quiz. Possible topic:
1. Savitch slides : 10:55
2. On Love : 10:58
A person is judged in more ways than one. Be it on the physical, emotional or even the mental aspect. A flower blooms in its own time and pace as with the movement of every cloud seen in the sky. Despite the fact that things move in their own manner and preference, sometimes the value of a person is determined beyond such things.
... but isn't it nice that I post helpful criteria? ;) That way, people know what I appreciate and don't appreciate.
3. I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night : 11:04
The Old Astronomer to His Pupil
Reach me down my Tycho Brahe, I would know him when we meet,
When I share my later science, sitting humbly at his feet;
He may know the law of all things, yet be ignorant of how
We are working to completion, working on from then to now.
Pray remember that I leave you all my theory complete,
Lacking only certain data for your adding, as is meet,
And remember men will scorn it, 'tis original and true,
And the obloquy of newness may fall bitterly on you.
But, my pupil, as my pupil you have learned the worth of scorn,
You have laughed with me at pity, we have joyed to be forlorn,
What for us are all distractions of men's fellowship and smiles;
What for us the Goddess Pleasure with her meretricious smiles!
You may tell that German College that their honor comes too late,
But they must not waste repentance on the grizzly savant's fate.
Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
Sarah Williams

The number of West Nile Virus cases has climbed to 144, including five new human cases announced Wednesday. One human case has been diagnosed in Lauderdale County. The number of deaths so far in Mississippi stands at six.
Most of the reported human cases have exhibited the more severe form of West Nile virus infection, encephalitis and/or meningitis, usually with neurological symptom. Only a few experienced the milder West Nile fever.
The Department of Health strongly urges people to take personal protection measures, particularly people who are at higher risk of severe illness, the elderly and anyone with a weak immune system.
The five new human cases reported Wednesday include the following counties: Neshoba, Jones, Attala, Rankin, and Lauderdale.
Deaths occurred in Jones and Hinds Counties. The ages of the patients who have died range from 48-84. The median age of deaths is 65. Mississippi's attack rate is 5.00 per 100,000. The median age remains 52 with a range of 3 to 97 years of age. Of the human cases, 53 percent are male and 47 percent female.
Hinds County continues to report the largest number of human cases at 43.
Pike County maintains a case rate of 23.1 per 100,000, one of the highest rates among counties and parishes nationwide.
Scott County follows closely behind with a case rate of 17.66 per 100,000.
Mississippi now has identified West Nile virus infection as follows:
Residents of 40 counties have been diagnosed with the infection. Seventy-seven total counties have at least one West Nile virus infection.
The Mississippi State Department of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration, and blood transfusion centers are investigating two persons with WN virus who received blood product transfusions before the development of their illness.
Consumers with questions about WN virus may call the Department of Health West Nile Hotline at 1-877-WST-NILE (1-877-978-6453) during normal weekday business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Nov. 19, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Every day people pray for their families, their friends and even people they don't know. Often times you can feel prayer, but it's not a tangible thing. You can't touch it, see it, hear it, but a local church has found a way for you to be able to do all those things. First Baptist Church of Augusta is using technology to show the power of prayer.
Three little beeps on a pager is all it takes to help make someone's day a little brighter.
"That thing vibrates, you just see them light up," said Len Collins with First Baptist Church of Augusta.
It's called a prayer pager. First Baptist Church of Augusta has a dozen of them and gives them out to those in need of prayer. Each time someone calls the pager number, it lets them know someone is praying for them.
"It's the most annoying thing that used to be around and we've taken it into a ministry," Collins said.
"Every time it beeps, it means somebody's praying for me," said Norma Strohmenger, who has had a prayer pager for almost six months.
"You really didn't know if anybody was praying for you after you left church," she explained. "This tells me yes."
She's basically confined to a bed or wheelchair and has been in and out of the hospital for months.
"I know that there are a lot of people at the church that will pray just because I'm in a wheelchair at the church, but this gives me proof that they're praying," she said.
Those prayers give her the strength to keep going.
"I've wanted to go on, pass on, because this pain is so bad, but every time I get a beep then it says, 'No, he's got something in mind for you'," she said.
For the person praying, sending that prayer is easy and takes less than minute. All you do is dial the pager number, make the call and then press the numbers 7-3-3, the number of letters in the words praying for you.
"We're doing what we're supposed to be doing as God's children and that's just being there by their side. It's our presence," Collins said.
Those simple beeps have helped families like the Hustons through the toughest times in their lives.
"You don't quite feel so isolated. You feel like you have this whole army behind you," said Jennifer Huston.
She and her husband, Steven, had a pager after the birth of their twins at just 25 weeks.
"It was four and a half months of roller coaster up and down," Mr. Huston said.
Bennett and Anna weighed around one pound each and had multiple surgeries.
"A lot of people wouldn't know how to respond to us," Mr. Huston said. "They'd say, 'I don't know what to do. I'm praying for you,' but that's a nice tangible way for them to be able to tell us that they are supporting us in prayer."
They kept a blog and gave out their pager number and soon prayers were coming from all over the world.
"At those times in our life when we needed the extra prayers, it seemed like they were automatically there," Mrs. Huston said. "You wouldn't have to ask for them, but the pager would just start buzzing, buzzing, buzzing."
That buzzing became even more crucial when Bennett lost his fight.
"It wasn't our own strength at all," Mrs. Huston said. "There's no way we had enough strength in our body to lose a child and go through all the struggles we went through and do it by ourselves."
Five years later, Anna is a beautiful, happy little girl that her parents truly believe is here as an answer to all the prayers.
"I have no question that everything that's happened is in God's plan," Mr. Huston said. "There's absolutely no doubt about that in my mind."
The church has 12 pagers and six are out right now. Collins says pagers are constantly coming in and out as situations change. They give the pager numbers out in church and also on the weekly bulletin sent to all the members.

Cybergun GSG-522 PK AEG Softair Gun - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- Good things come in small packagesHaving previously owned a Cybergun (ICS) GSG5 and then selling it and immediately regretting it, I decided to buy the GSG 522 PK. All the things I loved about the original GSG5 are back in this tight little package.
All metal? YEP
Built like a tank? YEP
Good ROF? YEP
Accuracy? YEP
Compact and highly engaging in multiple play scenarios? YEP
I am actually amazed at the accuracy of this AEG given it has what I believe is about a 5" barrel. My team mates fear it and when I added a suppressor it actually gives this gun a very distinct, muffled firing report.
I was thinking about adding a slightly longer barrel but to be honest, I don't want to mess with what I believe is a winning combination of barrel size to compression. Hey, if the gun ain't broke, don't fix it!
Get this gun. You won't be disappointed. You know who will be disappointed? The people you play against.
- Just right out of the box!I was looking for an indoor gun so I would not need to swap springs on one of my other AEG's. This gun was everything I was looking for and more.
My chrono had it at 340 fps and it seemed faster. Thought about modifying the barrel for accuracy, but it was already so good, (like the previous reviewer said) I was afraid to change anything. Was still worried if it would qualify with a 330 fps limit.
At the arena the technician chrono'd it at 320fps. He said "when I first shot it , it hit so hard I thought it would never pass, but it came up at exactly 320 fps." In action it outperformed the user. Accurate close and at distance. Nailing people at 40-50 feet through 12 inch holes with the reflex site I added. It was noticed and several of the referees asked where I got it and who made it.
It satisfied my desires perfectly, and the range outside exceeded expectations. It would come in handy in outdoor games where higher fps guns are limited to longer shots and is compact enough to replace a pistol without the limitations.

How to Impress a Hiring Manager
So you're getting interviews. That's great. It proves your resume is working effectively. Now it's up to you to show your potential new employer that you're ready to make the leap from job candidate to new hire. Here are a few easy ways to make a great first impression during and after an interview.
SEE OUR SLIDE SHOW: 7 Job Interviewer Pet Peeves (And How to Avoid Them)
During the Interview
Once you're face-to-face with a hiring manager, don't forget that this is your prime opportunity to leave him with a solid grasp of who you are and why he should hire you.
Be a know-it-all. As I often mention in the On the Job column, it's important to do as much advance research as possible on the company you're interviewing with. Nothing stands out more to a recruiter than interviewing an applicant who knows the ins and outs of the company's history, its big wins (and misses), as well as the latest industry trends. An interview is not just about you re-stating what's already listed on your resume, but rather having a dialogue with one or more interviewers about how your skill set and knowledge base fits with the company's needs.
Show them what you've got. Even if the interviewer doesn't ask you for specific examples of workplace situations with previous employers, remember that you can answer practically any question with a story about how you excelled in a related situation. For example, if a hiring manager asks, "How good are you with Excel?" you can respond with, "Here's a quick Excel story. One time, we were under the gun to deliver our sales-by-region report to the CEO and…" A story helps to better reinforce your proven track record.
Get the details. While most people don't walk around their offices carrying their own business cards, you'll want to have a notepad and a pen with you to take down each interviewer's full name, title and contact details, and to write down key items from your discussions with each person. You'll need this information later.
After the Interview
Demonstrating how much you want the gig doesn't stop just because you've left a hiring manager's office.
Say "Thank you." Remember those names and conversation notes you jotted down for each interviewer? Now is when they'll come in handy. You'll want to write a thank-you note -- either handwritten or e-mail -- that's personalized for each person you talked with no more than two days after your initial interview. Be sure to highlight any key talking points that might have come up.
For example:
Dear Mr. Whitaker,
I appreciate you taking the time to talk with me yesterday. Since I left your office, I've been thinking about the distribution issues you mentioned and am wondering what you'd think about simplifying the processes for inventory control and keeping the local warehouses stocked? I'd love to dig into that issue with you in our next conversation. When I was at Acme Products, we installed similar processes and training and cut our inventory carrying costs in half.
Thanks again for your time, and enjoy your weekend.
Vanessa Smith

What A Sprint/T-Mobile Deal Might Mean For You
Let's stipulate off the top that a deal between Sprint and T-Mobile is a long shot, and it could be a while before we see a bid. But with Sprint working toward a bid for its smaller rival, according to people familiar with the matter, it's worth considering what it would mean for you.
For one, it means fewer options. A deal would eliminate the industry maverick, T-Mobile, which has been shaking up the wireless industry with its aggressive new pricing and plans that undermine long held and not so consumer friendly practices of the bigger carriers. CEO John Legere, who has expressed openness to making a deal, has attacked rivals with expletives and been successful at stealing customers.
Sprint and T-Mobile are also the only national carriers offering unlimited data plans to new subscribers at a time when wireless data usage is exploding. Both AT&T and Verizon moved to plans that charge you more when you use more and have been pushing to get people off of grandfathered unlimited plans.
On the other hand, the combination would give the two smaller competitors more scale, potentially making them a stronger rival to AT&T and Verizon Wireless. Both companies have been losing customers for years—other than the last two quarters for T-Mobile—and have struggled to make a profit.
Scale matters in telecom, because large numbers of customers help offset the high capital costs of building and operating networks. Having that scale should drive down costs and allow the new carrier to buy the airwaves it needs to provide better service.
In the end, the consumer will be the top concern for antitrust authorities. Already, advocacy group Free Press is opposing the deal:
"The public doesn't need fewer competitors and fewer choices — not when the wireless market already has so little competition," the group said in a statement. "The public will get nothing good out of this deal."

After undergoing a major $500,000 renovation, the Ohio Historical Society's McCook House Civil War Museum in Carrollton will reopen on Friday May 20th. A full day of activities are planned for Saturday and Sunday including a Civil-War encampment.
The 1837 Federal Style brick house was built by Daniel McCook who along with his eight sons, two brothers and six nephews, served to preserve the Union. The family became known as the "Fighting McCooks" because of their combined military service.
This opening coincides with the observance of the Civil War's 150th anniversary. There are many civil war stories in Ohio and this is one that should not be missed.
We invite you to stay overnight at Whispering Pines Bed & Breakfast while visiting the McCook House.
What is your favorite Ohio Civil War story or historical site?
I'll look forward to seeing you soon,

Live Prices Not Available
To show you the most accurate prices, TTPM only displays our pricing tool on products which we've reviewed in the past three years.
The Polly Pocket Spin 'N Surprise Hotel is no ordinary hotel playset because two of the rooms in the three-story hotel transform. Just spin the green knob to change the second-story scene from a hotel room to an outdoor water park, complete with a slide that goes out of the hotel and into a pool that you can fill with water. Spin the pink knob to change the third-story scene from a hotel suite to a game room with ping pong table and karaoke lounge. There is also a kid-operated elevator that makes a dinging noise whenever it reaches a floor. Kids can attach two Polly Pocket dolls to the elevator and watch the dolls spin around as they move the elevator up and down.
There are lots of accessories included with the Spin 'N Surprise Hotel, from a mini fridge and beds to a microphone and chaise lounges. Each piece is a Stick 'n Play accessory, which means the accessories have suction cups on their bottoms to ensure they stay in place even when kids are spinning around the rooms. This also means that kids can stick the pieces, including the Polly Pocket and Lila dolls, to any surface of the hotel. Stick the pieces in traditional spots or add a little comedy and fun to Polly's life by attaching her to the wall or a chair to the ceiling. The dolls' suction cup shoes can be removed.
With its Stick 'n Play accessories, the Spin 'N Surprise Hotel is a different way to play with Polly Pocket. It's nice that the pieces won't move during play (unless you unstick them and move them yourself), and it also makes storage after play a little easier. Kids will like being able to stick the accessories wherever they want to create a traditional or silly hotel. Kids will also like being able to spin the rooms, allowing them to easily change the scene and giving them more rooms in which to play. This playset is classic Polly with lots of surprise elements and opportunities for imaginative play.
The Polly Pocket Spin 'N Surprise Hotel is for ages 4 and up.
The playset takes about 15 minutes to assemble.
Because this playset uses water, make sure you play in an area where it's okay to get wet.
Additional Polly Pocket playsets featuring Stick 'n Play accessories include the Hangout House, sold separately.
Polly Pocket's unique sense of fun and humor often appeals to girls you might assume are "too old" for doll play.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Raiders owner Mark Davis said Monday that he and the A's seem to be playing tug-of-war over the future of the Coliseum site and that it's almost impossible to see how both teams win.
Simply put, if the A's get the 10-year lease extension they are seeking in lieu of a move to San Jose, the Raiders' push to get a new stadium built on the site in the Coliseum City project would be severely affected.
Or tossed out the window completely.
"That would make it tough for us to build a new stadium on that site," Davis said during the NFL owners meetings.
Logically, it would be almost impossible to build a football stadium on the site while keeping the old Coliseum open for baseball. That's if the Coliseum City project even moves past its current theoretical stage.
"Well, it's complicated," Davis said.
Davis said he doesn't want to make it a Raiders-vs.-A's situation; he just wants a stadium in Oakland.
"We need to get something -- both of us really need stadiums, new ones," Davis said.
"And there's no blame I don't think between the A's and the Raiders or the city or anybody else. We just have to get something done if we can." If Davis doesn't hear more positive news by this summer, he said he will have to consider alternate locations such as Los Angeles.
Asked specifically if East Bay Raiders fans have to worry about losing the team to Southern California, Davis mostly demurred answering.
"That's a tough question -- I don't know how to answer that, to be honest," Davis said.
Later, he added that East Bay fans don't have to worry about an L.A. move "at this time" but pointed out again that the timetable is not a long one.

Kneeling woman in profile with floral motifs
This watercolour depicts a crouching woman playing the double flute known as the diaulos, used in the music of the ancient world. She is charming a snake from a vase.
This lone figure was reused by Cros and integrated into a polychrome terracotta plaque entitled The Incantation, dated 1 June 1891 and preserved at the Cité de la Céramique in Sèvres, on which this double flute player can be found in the bottom left-hand corner.
This work is influenced by the art of the ancient world. Thus the upper body of the figure is inspired by a Greek bas relief and her pose is that of the Crouching Venus statue in the Louvre dating from the Hellenistic period.
The treatment of outlines in pencil and the watercolour infill is characteristic of Cros' works.

PFF has a good feature on the best remaining free agents available. This is who they have ranked for RB. If he is healthy, he's a serious upgrade from spindenhall.
https://www.profootballfocus.com/blo...ee-agent-team/Running Back: Ahmad Bradshaw (+14.2)
Bradshaw is arguably the most complete running back in the league, but chronic foot injuries make him a bigger risk than most other 27-year-old free agents. A reliable pass protector whos allowed just three quarterback sacks since 2008, Bradshaw has ranked in the top 10 of our running back grades in each of the last three seasons. Honorable Mentions: Michael Turner, Cedric Benson

"Presidents in both parties - from John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan - have known that our free enterprise economy is the source of our middle-class prosperity. But President Obama? He believes it's the cause of our problems. That the economic downturn happened because our government didn't tax enough, spend enough and control enough. And, therefore, as you heard tonight, his solution to virtually every problem we face is for Washington to tax more, borrow more and spend more."—Florida Sen.

Sometimes you just need more people. In January, Washington, D.C. deputized out-of-town security and police forces during the Obama inauguration. The city gave them the tools and authority to manage the massive crowds that had descended for the weekend. The size of the actual D.C. police force didn't grow permanently, but it had the resources it needed to get through the event. Brands can achieve the same effect – a simulated growth in the size of its marketing resources – by deputizing their fans.
I am a huge fan of Penzey's Spices. The company is based in Wisconsin and has a few dozen stores throughout the US and a mail-order catalog. Their products are amazing. Their cinnamon (all four varieties) is the best I've ever tasted. Penzey's rubs and spice blends for meats and vegetables can make a good cook out of just about anyone. They offer adorable spice gift packages that I've often given at wedding showers and as holiday gifts. A few of my favorite recipes were discovered in their spice catalogs. I don't ever plan on buying grocery-store spices again.
I will gladly sing Penzey's praises to anyone who will listen (see above paragraph). But here's the problem – I have very little at my disposal to aid in my Penzey's evangelization. It doesn't appear that the company has even dipped its toes into the social media waters yet. No Facebook fan page, no Twitter account, no company blog. That leaves me with only their Web site to direct people to after I tell them how absolutely delicious the Florida Seasoned Pepper or Northwoods Fire blend is.
But Penzey's Web site is relatively bland – it's set up essentially as a no-frills eCommerce site. There's no way for me to interact with the brand and share it with my friends. Bill Penzey, the company founder, writes a folksy customer letter in each catalog and it's posted on the penzeys.com Web site. But I can't share it via Facebook, Delicious or Twitter. The catalog is essentially on the site in .pdf format – making it difficult to share. The recipes from the catalog are also posted to the Web site. But again, I can't bookmark them, post them to a profile, or even "e-mail this page to a friend."
What Penzey's perhaps doesn't realize is that I, and I'm sure many of their other fans, would do a heck of a lot of free marketing for them if we only had tools and content at our disposal. People are already talking about the brand online: a Google blog search for Penzey's returns more than 14,000 results. On Facebook, a loyal Penzey's fan created a group that has almost 400 members and there are three others with a couple dozen members. It doesn't appear that anyone from Penzey's participates in these groups.
If Penzey's fans were deputized – armed and equipped with social tools to take to our friends and networks – we could spread our love for Penzey's at an exponential rate. Imagine if Penzey's had a Facebook fan page that featured recipes, images, coupons, gift ideas or cooking tips. Or if they created a YouTube channel or Flickr account where their fans could post photos or videos of the meals they created using Penzey's spices. Penzey's doesn't necessarily need to dive in to a full-fledged social media campaign, but creating some social outposts could go a long way toward allowing their fans to interact with the brand (and with each other) and easily share Penzey's information with their social networks.
Many smaller businesses are afraid of moving into social media because they think it will take too much time. But if your customers like your brand enough and you give them the necessary tools, they will spend their own time to tout your brand among their friends. So give 'em a badge.

Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha knows he's the target of much criticism, be it for his age or his disappointing play the past two seasons. But the 49ers' newest acquisition has a ready answer for the critics.
"There's a drive, there's a hunger inside of me that says, 'I know what I can do and I'm going to get it done,' " Asomugha said Wednesday in an exclusive interview with this news organization. "So, regardless of what others are saying or how others are feeling, I'm just going to make it happen."
Asomugha, 31, was speaking for the first time since news of him agreeing to a one-year contract with the 49ers broke Tuesday. The former standout at Cal and with the Raiders, released by the Philadelphia Eagles last month, said he chose the 49ers over the New Orleans Saints. The contract includes no guaranteed money, according to ESPN, but carries a base salary of $1.35 million, with incentives worth an additional $1.65 million. Asomugha was due to earn $15 million from Philadelphia next season, $4 million guaranteed, after signing a five-year $60-million deal with the Eagles in 2011.
The 49ers intend to use Asomugha at cornerback, he said, even though he played safety for most of his college career and at times during his eight-year stint with the Raiders.
Despite his age and struggles in Philadelphia the last two seasons, Asomugha expressed zero doubt that he still has the ability to be the shutdown corner he was in Oakland, where he won Pro Bowl honors three times.
"I know what went wrong (in Philadelphia) and I know what I can do," Asomugha said. "It's not a see-what-happens-out-there sort of thing. For me, it's going to happen. There isn't a disbelief in me anywhere."
In Oakland, Asomugha flourished in a scheme that favored man coverage and allowed him to use his long arms, physical style and sound technique. Although there has been some speculation that Asomugha wasn't properly used in Philadelphia, Asomugha is taking a different view. He says the last two years will benefit him.
"I had a tough two years my first two in Oakland, and these two in Philly felt much longer than those two years," Asomugha said. "But, having been through that before, I know that I've got what it takes to turn it around ... and put a stamp on something like no one would have ever imagined. That's a big reason why I'm here."
The 49ers return starting cornerbacks Carlos Rogers and Tarell Brown, as well as nickel back Chris Culliver. Asomugha intends to win a starting job, but his primary focus is on helping the 49ers win a ring.
"From afar, you can tell they have the pieces in place and the game plan for winning," Asomugha said. "Then, when you come up close and you talk to the coaches and the players, the front-office people, you realize how serious they are about it and how they've mapped it out. They made me a believer from the first time I met with them."

In the run-up to Advent and Christmas, the Choir of St John's College, Cambridge under Andrew Nethsingha presents a joyous celebration of music for the festive season. The disc includes original works by John Rutter, Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, Elizabeth Poston, and Kenneth Leighton. These are complemented by arrangements of popular songs, and a selection of congregational hymns, all displaying strong ties to the Advent and Christmas seasons.
This album was recorded in the College Chapel in full surround-sound, which means that it not only sounds spectacular, but recreates to a spectacular degree the experience of listening to the Choir perform in the Chapel.
The Choir of St John's College, established in the 1670s, is today one of the finest college choirs in the world, known and loved by millions for its recordings, broadcasts, and concert tours.
It is also the only British choir to webcast services weekly throughout the year – www.sjcchoir.co.uk
"St John's is sometimes overshadowed by its celebrated sister college, King's, but do not discount this choir. Its musical standards are very high, and here the results are marvellous in SACD sound. .. Andrew Nethsingha's musical leadership continues the high standard established by George Guest. The St John's chapel is a spacious but more intimate setting than King's and the sound there is clear and warm. Challenger makes excellent use of the organ, especially its reeds in the more dramatic moments. This is now one of the most favoured of my many Christmas choral recordings."
Robert A Moore – American Record Guide – November/December 2012
"Editor's Choice'
"...This release stands out thanks to out thanks to the commitment to quality and high artistic values shown here by St John's College Choir and Chandos." *****
Andrew Stewart - Classic FM magazine – February 2012
Artistic Quality 10 Sound Quality 10
"The Choir of St John's College, Cambridge has perhaps the sweetest, most mellifluous boy treble sound of all the British cathedral choirs ... this new Christmas program ... is wholly satisfying not only in that regard, but also for its well-chosen repertoire... This is 74 minutes of heavenly Christmas music, performed and recorded in the pretty respectable earthly domain of St John's College Chapel, expertly led by Andrew Nethsingha and accompanied by the frightfully young and formidably talented organist John Challenger."
David Vernier - Classics Today.com
"This is a warming disc, eloquently sung by the choir of St John's..."
Geoffrey Norris – The Telegraph – 9 December 2011
Recording of the Month
"...The singing on this disc is very fine indeed. Solos are well taken and the choir as a group blends extremely well and sings with excellent tone and great clarity. Several of the pieces are accompanied by organ and the college's Senior Organ Scholar, John Challenger, does a marvellous job. I relished especially his splendid contributions - very different from each other in character - to the Jackson and Mathias pieces.
It only remains to say that the Chandos sound is up to the label's usual exalted standard - I listened to this hybrid SACD as a conventional CD. This most enjoyable disc will be a high quality Christmas present for a musical friend - or to give to yourself!"
John Quinn - Musicweb-international.com - December 2011
"... They have established a reputation as one of the finest collegiate choirs in the world, and in this new recording On Christmas Night, have captured the essence of that celebration
of peace and hope. Fine support and keen registration by organist John Challenger, and strong musical insights and solid leadership by conductor Andrew Nethsingha, all combine to make this one of the best Christmas music CDs out this year."
Jean-Yves Duperron - Musidata.com - 28 November 2011
"...the finest 'cathedral' Christmas disc of the year ... Blessed with a particularly homeogenous and secure line-up of trebles... John Challenger makes full use of the chapel organ ..."
- Gramophone- December 2011
Performance **** Recording *****
"Chandos engineering ... casts a luminescent glow round these excellent performances by the choir of St John's College, Cambridge ..."

Thank you for sharing your list of publications with me.

Regarding my work, the link at mnforsustain.org contains the data that I used for Figure 1. Please let me know if you would like additional information. There is no formal published paper on my work.
NWS has not been supportive of my efforts. For correspondence with me, regarding climate change, it would be best if you or others would use my non-work email address ( [email protected] ).
Thank you for making contact with me on this.

Comment: Saying that NWS and NOAA were not supportive of my efforts was putting it mildly. Intimidation by NWS and NOAA supervisors ended my communications with the USGS on climate change and streamflow in 2005.

Governments refuse to let
Governments refuse to let reports air which contradict their ideological bent. If one managed to be publicised which was contrary to what a government's position was, the government would be worse off the next time an election came around.

I disagree Stephen.
Government employees are subject to the conditions of employment as determined by their employer. If employees are attempting to advocate beyond what their terms of employment allow, then the government, who pays their wages, can set conditions upon that.
A person, government employee or not, can advocate for any cause they want on their own free time, but are not allowed to advocate from their position as a government employee. Regards,

Interference by govt against gov scientists on climate science
ENN article:
New Controls on Publishing Research Worry USGS Scientists
December 14, 2006 — By John Heilprin, Associated Press
"Democrats about to take control of Congress have investigations into reports by The New York Times and other news organizations that the Bush administration tried to censor government scientists researching global warming at NASA and the Commerce Department." …
BBC News article:
US scientists reject interference
By Jonathan Amos
Science reporter, BBC News, San Francisco
"Some 10,000 US researchers have signed a statement protesting about political interference in the scientific process."
Both articles are misleading by failing to address that there was interference by the U.S. government against it's own government scientists on climate change even before G.W. Bush became President in 2001. Interference on climate change before 2001 was just as bad as during and after 2001 - at NOAA's National Weather Service.

NOAA and NWS in 2000 - opposing views on global warming
NOAA and NWS in 2000 - opposing views on global warming
Hi Lynn,
Thanks. Clinton did talk a little about global warming - at his Jan 2000 State of the Union Address. His words were serious but the way he presented them wasn't.
I got in a mess of trouble at work (NWS) in 2000 by trying to research and talk about climate change already having an influence on Upper Midwest snowmelt runoff hydrology.
Although Jim Baker, director of NOAA in 2000, came on strong about global warming consequences in Jan of 2000 on CBS, it seemed like he had no authority over NWS on global warming concerns even though NWS was under NOAA then, as now. Jim Baker and Clinton/Gore had no real authority over the director of NWS Jack Kelly (Ret. Br. Gen.). Perhaps Jack Kelly had authority to say no to Baker by his military connections. Another possibility for NWS having pooh poohed global warming in 2000 even though Jim Baker in NOAA came on strong about global warming is that in 2000 Jack Kelly and Commerce Secretary Richard Daley were car pooling together. I I heard that from the owner of AviationWatch yahoo group (Chicago O'Hare). I suppose the Daley family would not have supported any effort that might have led to clamping down on GHG emissions. I also suppose that that NWS supervisors voted for Bush in Nov. of 2000. Once Bush got in, the new NOAA director and Jack Kelly had the same views on global warming.
More background information on my experiences in 2000 is in comments to blog 11 Dec 2006 [Climate change" and "Kyoto" deemed no, no's for government scientists].

Frogs Gone Fishin', a Vail- and Denver-based funk/jam/rock band wants to collaborate with you on their most ambitious and creative undertaking yet.
The group initiated its first-ever Kickstarter campaign this week to help fund an upcoming studio album, "Back to the Hills," which will coincide will an all-new live performing platform, they hope.
The Frogs must reach a pledged goal of $7,500 by Nov. 10.
Kickstarter is a funding mechanism for creative projects. Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline. If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen. If the project succeeds in reaching its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are charged when time expires. If the project falls short, no one is charged.
The band is playing an acoustic show in support of the initiative tonight at Main St. Grill in Edwards. The show is free and begins at 10 p.m.
"Not only will you be contributing to the band's success, but we'll send you all kinds of really cool stuff, from pre-release recordings, shirts and tickets to private shows, a recording session or even an all-expense-paid vacation with Frogs," said guitarist Andrew Portwood.
"Over the past six years, we've had some incredible experiences and opportunities - sharing the stage with members of the Grateful Dead, Galactic, Parliament Funkadelic and others, playing festivals and great shows all around the country," Portwood continued.
Frogs Gone Fishin' was nominated for Denver's Best Jam Band of both 2011 and 2012 by Denver-based Westword Magazine, and the group recently added four new full-time members, Alex Scott (bass), Jeff Jani (drums), Mark Hanson (saxophone) and Mike Eisenberg (trombone).
"We are incredibly excited to explore the new dimensions of our sound," said lead guitarist Trevor Jones. "We feel that we are ready to take Frogs up to a whole new level with a project we call 'Back to the Hills.'"
"Back to the Hills" is more than a record, says the band. They envision a live, multimedia experience, performed over the course of an hour or more, incorporating intense lighting, optical effects and crowd participation in imaginative new ways for a dynamic and entertaining show.
Since the release of Frogs' sophomore effort "Actual Natural" in 2009, the band has been on the road, writing new material.
"Our goal with 'Back to the Hills' is to create a concert experience that is cutting-edge, but also draws from epic 1970s psychedelic arena shows of bands like Pink Floyd and Journey," said Portwood. "While there are plenty of modern bands that do this, they are almost entirely held in huge, impersonal venues, and for many parts of the country these shows are very rare."
And they want their fans involved - from helping choose effects, color schemes and equipment to providing feedback and ideas for crowd participation. "We want all of our backers, no matter how small, to have a voice in the finished show," Jones said.

Scientific documentation
The Petit Palais' scientific documentation, which is regularly updated from auction catalogues, exhibition catalogues and publications received by the museum, consists of four broad types of record :
- Object files detailing the identity, history and iconography of the Petit Palais works of art. Researchers can find specifications (creator of the work, title, materials, dimensions, origin, date, inventory number, etc.), photographs, bibliographic references, articles on the iconography or background to its creation, extracts from exhibition catalogues as well as a section dedicated to analogies.
- Artist files containing biographical and bibliographical information, documentation on an artist's solo exhibitions and on works held in other institutions in France and abroad, or from the art market.
- Records of the Petit Palais donors which list all the works donated or bequeathed by a single individual (collectors, artists, artist's relatives, etc.) on one or more occasions and which bring together mainly administrative documents (deliberations of the Council of Paris, extracts from the official council bulletin), biographical information on the donor and correspondence.
- "Technical" records for objets d'art (glass, majolica, painted enamel, tapestry, furniture, jewellery, etc.) consisting of technical articles and examples collected by scanning auction catalogues.
The computerized inventory of the collections
Computerisation and digitisation of the collections began in 2005 and is ongoing.
The museum database is enhanced and updated on a regular basis and contains almost 46000 records of works.

You know where they are and you probably want them cleaned up. We're talking about something called brownfields. News 12 is on your side with what a brownfield is and how you can help.
Clearwater's Seminole Mills is an example of a brownfield. It's basically environmentally contaminated land that's also an eyesore. And for one woman who lives in this neighborhood, cleaning up Seminole Mills is an answer to her prayers.
It's Muriel Pollock's daily routine.
"I call it my Psalms 119 walk," Pollock said.
During her walk, Muriel memorizes scripture and prays. Much of the scenery in her neighborhood is an old textile plant: Seminole Mills. It's been closed for years and is now mostly rubble. But inside lies chromium and asbestos. Seminole Mills is a brownfield.
"It's such a waste of money and an eyesore around here, so I've been praying that somehow, some way, the Lord would work it out to get it fixed up," Pollock said.
It looks like God has answered Muriel's prayers. Aiken County has a $200,000 grant to explore the contamination inside the mill, the first step to getting rid of it. But there's a catch to that grant, the county also has to come up with a list of other brownfields. And that's where you can help.
"Some of them you can't tell because you don't know the history of the site, but the people that have lived in the community for a long time know what was there 20, 30, 40 years ago," Joan Donnelly, Assistant County Administrator.
Once the county compiles a list, they'll use $2 million in sales tax to clean up the worst offenders. And the walk around the block, in a lot of places, could be looking brighter.
Think you've seen a brownfield near you? You can tell county leaders about it at a series of meetings. Click here to find out where they are.
