United States Mint Announces Reverse Design for 2013 Native American $1 Coin
WASHINGTON - The United States Mint today announced the reverse (tails side) design for the 2013 Native American $1 Coin. The theme for the design is "The Delaware Treaty (1778)." (After declaring independence, the United States signed its first formal treaty with an Indian tribe, the Delaware, at Fort Pitt, now Pittsburgh, on September 17, 1778.)
The tails side of the 2013 coin features a turkey, howling wolf and turtle - all symbols of the clans of the Delaware Tribe - and a ring of 13 stars to represent the original Colonies. The required inscriptions are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and $1. United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Susan Gamble designed the reverse, and United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Phebe Hemphill sculpted it.
The coin's obverse (heads side) will continue to feature the familiar "Sacagawea" design by sculptor Glenna Goodacre, which has appeared on the coin since 2000. Inscriptions are LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST. The coins are minted in the distinctive golden color with the year, mint mark, and E PLURIBUS UNUM incused on the edge.
The United States Mint was created by Congress in 1792. This year marks the bureau's 220th anniversary. The United States Mint is the Nation's sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage and is responsible for producing circulating coinage for the Nation to conduct its trade and commerce. The United States Mint also produces numismatic products including proof, uncirculated and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; and silver and gold bullion coins. The United States Mint's numismatic programs are self-sustaining and operate at no cost to the taxpayer.

DALLAS (January 3, 2013)--Nearly two-dozen Texas school districts including the Round Rock ISD in Central Texas are seeking exemptions from some state and federal testing requirements as they push to design new student evaluation systems.
The schools are part of the Texas High Performance Schools Consortium, which the Legislature created in 2011 to develop new strategies for public schools.
The 23 consortium members say they need more flexibility to design an updated educational blueprint.
An update presented last month to the Texas Education Agency suggests developing a community-based assessment and accountability system.
Lawmakers convene this month and they and the TEA could act on the waiver requests.
Education Commissioner Michael Williams, in a Dec. 21 letter to Gov. Rick Perry and legislators, said he's not declining or rejecting the recommendations at this time.
The consortium includes the Anderson-Shiro CISD, Clear Creek ISD, College Station ISD, Coppell ISD, Duncanville ISD, Eanes ISD, Glen Rose ISD, Guthrie ISD, Harlingen CISD, Highland Park ISD, Irving ISD, Klein ISD, Lake Travis ISD, Lancaster ISD, Lewisville ISD, McAllen ISD, McKinney ISD, Northwest ISD, Prosper ISD, Richardson ISD, Roscoe Collegiate ISD, Round Rock ISD and White Oak ISD.

Victor Cruz has to sign his tender.... April 19th
Victor Cruz has to sign his tender.... April 19th
He doesn't have to sign his tender. That's the deadline for other teams to make an offer.
What if he doesn't sign a contract or the tender? Will he play next year?
nah betch
If he doesn't sign after that point, he basically reverts to an ERFA... Giants would have exclusive rights to him for a year. He would only be "free" to retire.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1

February 10, 2006
A home street address number, we all have one. But what if you and your next door neighbor's addresses are different by a couple hundred numbers? It is happening in Aiken County. News 12 says one of those areas is Sudlow Lake Road.
When you're driving down the road and looking for a house number, it should be relatively easy. The general rule of thumb: the even numbers are on one side and the odds on the other. Emergency workers are finding out the hard way that the rule of thumb can be broken.
"Ambulance goes down the road and says I'm in 100 block their call is in 300 block then they hit 500 block and I apparently missed it so they start turning around," said Kathy Randall, Aiken County Supervisor of Dispatch.
Kathy Randall is the supervisor of Aiken County's emergency dispatch and says it is a big problem throughout the area.
"It's very, very frustrating," Randall said.
They get more than 300 emergency calls a day. At least 20 of those calls have to be called back for clearer directions.
"It's difficult, it gets very disheartening not to be able to find someone to know you could possibly save their life and 15 seconds may make a difference," Randall said.
The numbers along this side of the road are in the 600's, but if you go right across the street the numbers jump into the 300's to accommodate the new houses, then back into the 600's, see the problem?
It's one Magdalene Robinson knows a little too well.
"You try to call people to tell 'em where you live and you need ambulance or cops, well I couldn't find it. It's awful," Robinson said.
"It's not unusual we have several areas in Aiken County that are like that," said Debra Folk.
So why is it being done? Debra Folk, the E-911 coordinator, says in the past standards for numbering street addresses weren't as strict.
"So numbering could've been random, just what's convenient," Folk said.

K romps and first bear!
I am very relieved to say that the fearfulness is fading. K romped with joy this morning. This photo says it all.
On another front, I went to check an obscurely-placed trail camera today, and I got a huge surprise! A medium-sized male black bear marked a "whammy" tree about 10 days ago. "Whammy" trees are pine saplings that bears rub their fur on in order to leave a scent marking.
This guy started by standing on his hind legs while facing the tree. Perhaps he was smelling the tree to see who else has marked it or perhaps he's a youngster still learning how to mark a tree. The white streaks are snow that was falling.
trail cameras and our bears!

I've missed your blog this week and am glad that your week is ending on a good note!
I love the bear shots! Friends here in VA have had a bear or two around, too, but none in our neck of the woods.
Take care and continue to enjoy your precious moments.

Guess K just needed some time to recoup - sounds like she is ready to romp and roll again:)
Love those bear shots - it is fascinating to learn so much about them from you.
Hope the weekend is a happy one.

We're also happy to see K is rebounding. Maybe the session with the new x-rays threw her for a few days.
The young bear is really cute as he works on his 'whammy' style. The example of the mature bear is really impressive; he looks like he's experiencing rapture.

Hi KB,
I saw those signs in Amber where she seemed to be fearful, and it is natural to worry about K. I spent many weeks watching and worrying. I'm glad K has picked up and you are both happy.
An amazing coincidence here...I used to affectionately call Amber my Whammy girl...I never knew there was such a thing as Whammy trees! I live and learn :-) Thanks for the link to trail cameras, again I am learning. Fascinating to see the bears behavior. Thank you.
Love from Eileen and Annie xx

What a happy picture of K just bursting with joy and energy. Way to go K!!
Love the bear pictures. We don't know much about them, but their marking the tree is interesting. Gotta tell Mommy to look that one up on the internet. Then we can all learn.

I was going to say that bear season seemed early compared to other years. He looks like maybe he was partying a little too hard before he tried to mark the whammy tree! lol
I'm so glad K is feeling better! Maybe it was the elk leg that made her feel better! ;) Nothing like a little forbidden fruit to spice up a girl's life!

HI KB, So glad K seems to be feeling better. You got snow this week? Wow, I'm thankful I'm relaxing in the sun and sand. Seeing the bears concerned me because we will be camping this July in RMNP and I realized there will probably be bear activity-I'm sorry but I feel to old to deal with such things in a tent. I'd rather have a trailer and be safe.
Thanks for sharing, I alway love seeing the wildlife on your cameras.
Hugs, Noreen

I'm so glad to see the bears! And the quality of the photographs is just fine since it shows us the behavior we want to see.
Needless to say, it is wonderful to see K romping in her usual fashion. Have a great weekend.

Yeah, she'll have her good days and her bad days, celebrate the good ones and as hard as it is, try to keep yourself as positive as possible on the bad ones.
Great bear photos. The bear trying to learn how to scratch on the tree reminds me of my guy trying to learn how to lift his leg. Gave me a big smile.

Helene Gayle
Half the Sky Live: Insights and Lessons for Making Your Voice Heard
Last night, Jennifer Kushlis and I attended Half the Sky Live, a multi-city simulcast event featuring stories, music, discussion and film to bring to light the struggles women face around the world. Many of us on the Social Impact team picked up a copy of Half the Sky, by Nick Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, when it came out, so Jennie and I were eager to hear insights on the subject from some fantastic women, including Dr. Helene Gayle, Rachel Mayanja, actress Maria Bello and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.
I particularly identified with Kristof's commentary on how the media can help raise awareness of an issue that affects millions of women around the world.
It's a daunting task, and as Kristof pointed out, when a woman dies in childbirth every minute, how do the media convey that one of those minutes is more "newsworthy" than the next? Part of our job as communicators is to help organizations frame information that resonates with media – whether it's reaching a well-known columnist like Kristof, a women's magazine or a human rights blog. Below are some guidelines that we use with clients trying to earn media attention in this often-cluttered space:
- Focus on stories, not numbers. Dr. Gayle and Kristof agreed that people often get lost in numbers – when talking with media, focus on one compelling story that resonates with your target audience.
- Know your "ask" for readers. What do you want the news story to focus on? Whether it's driving donations, spreading a viral video or facilitating conversation (on Twitter or in the comments section), keep this top of mind when crafting your story and your talking points.
- What makes you unique? The human rights and women's issues media space is crowded. Find one fact that sets you apart from your competitors – whether it's a popular annual event, your inspiring leadership or a vast on-the-ground presence around the world – and make sure the media know this. Capitalize on your assets and tell a story that highlights these differentiators.
Last night was an inspiring evening (thanks to CARE for organizing!) that left me thinking about new ways to help tell the stories of brave women around the world who are working every day to improve the lives of their sisters, daughters and friends.

Spa Management: Spa Week Strategies
6. Become Aware of the Company's Resources
Over the years, Spa Week's marketing tools have expanded beyond the biannual event to include year-round programs such as the Spa & Wellness Gift Card (now available in more than 20,000 retail locations nationwide), Spa Deals and a custom mobile phone app. "We participate in the Gift Card and Spa Deals throughout the year," says Kay. "We get a lot of new clients who call in saying they heard of us through the Spa Week site."
In August, Spa Week launched its All-Inclusive Membership Marketing Program. Through this service, spas can participate in six exclusive programs including Spa Week, monthly spa deals, premiere listings, the Spa & Wellness gift card, Online Booking, and the mobile app, for one monthly price. "This program came from direct feedback from our spa affiliates who were saying, 'We want more, please give us more,'" says Reid. "It's basically a one-stop shop for many spa marketing needs."

Museum Partners with Atlanta Physicians Group to Offer Tests during National Allergy Month
May is National Allergy Month, and the museum has partnered with a leading healthcare provider to help make allergy testing as convenient as possible. On Saturday, May 4, the Southeastern Railway Museum will host doctors and support staff from the Atlanta Physicians Group (APG) for on-site allergy testing. Testing will be available during the Museum's normal operating hours of 10am to 5pm. As an added incentive, persons who come for allergy testing will be admitted to the Museum for free.
The tests, which will establish sensitivities to common airborne and food allergens, are covered by most insurance programs and will be offered without co-pays to Museum visitors and volunteers. However, children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and all participants must be pre-certified by their health insurance company to be tested. A simple one-page precertification form can be obtained from the here (opens in a new window) or picked up at the Museum any Thursday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm. The completed form should be completed and either faxed or emailed to the APG main office for processing no later than Wednesday, May 1.
Dr. Shue Kothari, CEO of Atlanta Physicians Group, underscored the importance of testing by pointing out the effects of untreated allergies. "For many people, allergies are primarily a source of ongoing discomfort, especially with airborne allergens like dust and pollen. These individuals may not realize just how much allergies affect them until treatment rids them of the symptoms. For those with food allergies, symptoms can range from mild effects like tingling in the mouth or slight swelling to much more severe problems like abdominal distress or trouble breathing. In each case, though, the first step toward relief is the same: you have to get tested."
According to Dr. Kothari, the tests to be administered at the Museum are superior to traditional tests in that they cover a much broader range of allergens. "Traditional food allergy tests only cover 60 potential allergies; the test we will be using covers more than 150." A brush-on test will discover allergies to another 60 airborne substances.
Dr. Kothari noted that the typical treatment for allergies, an at-home year-long self-administered immunotherapy program, is covered under most insurance plans. "Allergies can make you miserable, and in some cases can be life-threatening. Why suffer when you don't have to – especially if your insurance company will pick up the cost of treatment?"
In addition to the allergy testing, APG will have a physician on site to perform a routine ear, nose and throat exams prior to testing. Additional medical personnel will be on hand to assist with testing and help the doctor respond to any reaction patients may have to the tests.
The testing is also a fundraiser for the Museum, as the Atlanta Physicians Group has pledged to make a donation to the museum for each person tested. "We're delighted to have the opportunity to perform a public service by making these tests available," said Museum Administrator Randy Pirkle. "Our visitors and volunteers get the chance to be tested in a convenient place, APG furthers its goals in promoting general health management and particularly allergy awareness, and the Museum benefits from APG's generosity. Everybody wins."
Individuals who submit the completed precertification form will be notified in advance concerning their insurance company approval status. Tests will be offered without co-payments, and in the event that a particular insurer requires additional payment the patient will be informed ahead of time. If more people submit forms than can be seen in one day, additional testing times will be scheduled.
Anyone seeking additional information on allergy testing at the Southeastern Railway Museum should contact Constance Scott, Director of Operations at Atlanta Physicians Group, by phone at 770-938-2625 or 678-328-0582 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

London, England...considered yourselves...WARNED
I saw a statue of Sherlock Holmes....I hung from his bronze cock at half mast screaming, "I COME FROM THE GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD!"
the unsuspecting crowd erupted into a massive applause and it rained flower pedals for the rest of the day.
so anyway...
umbrellas with hooked handles.
people driving on the wrong side of the road. that's right...I said the WRONG side of the road. It is very disquieting. I refuse to get used to it...these people drive like maniacs on the wrong side of the road. Mopeds whiz by nearly hitting the side mirror of ever car they pass. I am thinking about sticking my arm out and clotheslining one of these fuckers.
the cab driver didn't understand how I could be in England doing hiphop.
"Isn't rap...black music?"
"yeah. just like everything else. it's all black, friend. it's a black black world. now shut up and drive me to my cipher"
buildings are old and short.
you have to pay for water.
I haven't seen as many mangled mouths of rotted teeth as I had expected.
The show last night was very fun. There wasn't enough room for me to move around so I stood on a chair and hoped the people in the back could see me. It must really suck paying to get in a club and being unable to view the performer.
The crowd was very receptive to my long set. They didn't sing along as much as they SHOULD HAVE...haha...but they paid attention and laughed during all the right parts.
Thanks to everyone who made it out to this show and maybe I'll see you in the future. Extra special props to Tom from Warp/Lex records for putting this show together and taking care of me.
It's been a wonderful experience so far. 4 more shows to go.

I booked tickets to England all by myself.
I'm a big boy now, mom. BIG...BIG like Ben.
I feel lucky to have so many cool people help me out when I need it.
It's times like these I am happy with path I chose in life.
Although...I went to bed depressed and lonely. That's the routine after an exciting show though.

yeah dude, wow.... it was definetly a very good show.
The chair thing was quite hillarious but i think that's cos i was right down the front.
Nice to say Hi to Sage and put a face to the voice (the photos have always been quite vague).
I guess i wasnt too surprised that the show wasnt very Anticon-y, but i actually quite enjoyed the sort of hi=fi of it....
Sage, did you hear that guy down the front and your right, going "blap! blap! blap!" to the rhythm, and occasionally shouting "BO!!"
Well.... that's ALL the So Solid Crew say. I recomend you check them out, you will laugh.
What the FUCK was that band - im presuming THEY were the Surpreme Vagabond Craftsmen..... and im also presuming theyre a sort of post-modern spoof.... but spoof or not, sitting though that un-tuned guitar knees-up was torture.........
anyway, Sage said he'll be doing an in-store at Rough Trade on the 29th of july at 5pm. But WHICH ROUGH TRADE WILL IT BE?!?
Covent Garden one is tiny, but the one up north isnt that much bigger....
If anybody knows please let me know by email if possible.

Plastic People... 'Bo' etc.
Hah! I was standing next to the guy who was yelling out the "BO"s and the "BLAP"s. He really was quite loud wasn't he... He actually knew the words to everything Sage performed. Everything.
I thought it was fantastic. The ceiling seemed a little low for Sage and I saw a couple of unfortunate head bumps, but yeah - he was incredible.
I would guess the in-store is at the Covent Garden one, I saw Dose perform there last year but I could be wrong. Phone them up and see!

STOCKTON - A 53-year-old California man pleaded no contest Thursday to two marijuana-related charges, freeing him to be deported to Mexico to face allegations that he participated in the slayings of eight municipal government officials 13 years ago.
Genaro Olaguez was immediately sentenced to consecutive 365-day jail terms after entering the pleas to possession of marijuana for sale and theft of utility services, San Joaquin County Deputy District Attorney Todd Turner said.
Turner said he told immigration officials they could pick up Olaguez at any time for deportation to Mexico. The overcrowded County Jail routinely releases inmates early, he noted, so "if they can get rid of somebody, they will."
Olaguez, whose last name is also listed as Olaguez-Rendon, was arrested by a U.S. Marshals Service task force this month on a warrant from Mexican officials on suspicion of killing a commissioner and seven other city officials in Sinaloa, Mexico, in May 2000.
Olaguez was arrested in January, along with his wife and two others, in connection with the operation of four houses in Stockton, where authorities found more than 900 marijuana plants and nearly 30 pounds of marijuana that was being prepared for sale.
Turner said Olaguez's wife, Andrea Rivera-Hernandez, was arrested by immigration officials Thursday on charges that she's in the country illegally. She still faces county marijuana charges.

Douglas Browning Schohr
Full of years and loving family, Douglas Browning Schohr, 83, of Gridley, California, entered into eternal rest on Friday, December 7, 2012.
Doug, the son of farming pioneers, Mr. and Mrs. Max Paul and Elna (Browning) Schohr, was born in Woodland, California, on June 19, 1929.
Growing up, Doug attended grammar school at Grand Island (Grimes), California, followed by Catholic school. in Colusa, California. Begrudgingly, Doug attended the Tamalpias School for Boys in San Rafael, California where he graduated in 1948. Doug attended the University of California, Davis where he studied Agriculture.
Doug fell for the love of his life, Alma "Jean" Bachels, after a bear hunting trip to Plumas County was canceled, requiring an overnight stay at the McKenzie Guest Ranch; which Jean, together with her family, owned and operated near Graeagle, California. The pair had met once previously in 1945, but rekindled love took hold in 1949. Jean says he still ended up with a bear, and the two were married on January 20, 1951. Doug and Jean "strolled the lane together, laughed in the rain together, and both knew then that it would never end." They celebrated their love over 61 years of marriage.
Doug was drafted into the United States Army on November 24, 1950, entering service in Sacramento, California. His duties took him to Fort Ord in Monterey, California, and then into combat in Korea, where he was awarded with the Korean Service Medal for his duties in the 6th Infantry Division.
Upon his discharge from the Army on August 25, 1952, Doug returned home to Gridley to continue with family farming alongside his mother Elna at the Schohr Ranch west of Gridley. Crops grown at the ranch over the years included: wheat, corn, milo, safflower, wild rice, with the largest crop now being medium grain rice. Livestock raised at the ranch include: Quarter horses, commercial beef cattle, as well as registered Hereford cattle.
In 2011, Doug, his family, and the Schohr Ranch were inducted into the California Agricultural Heritage Club, and recognized for their legacy of 150 years of continuous family farming in California. That same year, Doug was pleased to celebrate the farm's 100th rice crop; his Grandfather, J.W. Browning, being the first to commercially plant the crop in the region.
Hobbies included duck, goose, pheasant, and deer hunting over the years. He enjoyed square dancing in the Gridley club with many friends and enjoyed spending time in the mountains of Northern California. In later years, his most cherished travels and memories were spent with his seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren traveling and participating in their activities. His most favorite trip of all, was taking grandchildren to Disneyland once they learned to spell (or memorize) "Mickey Mouse."
Doug was a member and supporter of the Ben Ali Shrine of Sacramento, and the Gridley Moose Lodge. He was a 3rd Degree Master Mason of Gridley's North Butte Lodge #230, the Gridley Little League, a member of the Gridley Roping Club, a member of the California Butte County Farm Bureau, the California Cattlemen's Association, and the American Hereford Association.
Page 2 of 2 - His legacy continues to live on through his family. His wife and family matriarch, Jean, continues on at the ranch west of Gridley. Doug and Jean's son Carl and his wife Susan (Orme) of Gridley; son Jim, of Gridley; and son Bill and his wife Lisa (Butler), of Gridley. Grandchildren include Ryan Schohr and his wife Holly (Whittaker), of Chico; Steven Schohr, of Gridley, Jamie and husband Mark Owens, of Eagle, Idaho, Tracy Schohr, of Gridley; Lee Schohr, of Star, Idaho; Tayler Schohr, of Gridley, and Justin Schohr, of Gridley. Great-grandchildren include Kylee and Makenzie Owens, and Joseph Schohr.
A memorial service followed by a celebratory lunch for the many family and friends is planned for 11 a.m., Monday, December 17, 2012 at the Gridley Moose Lodge, 1533 State Highway 99 in Gridley.
In Doug's honor, and in lieu of flowers, the family has requested contributions be made to The Shriner's Hospital for Children, or the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

- Warriors coach Mark Jackson calls Miami Dolphins' incident unacceptable
- 49ers are free of bullying, hazing issues, says Donte Whitner
- How a degree from a good college can lead to NFL bullying
- Nov 5:
- NFL bullying: Why ex-Stanford star Jonathan Martin became a target
- Hochman: There's no reason to defend bullying in NFL
- Nov 4:
- NFL players from elite colleges are bullying targets, ex-linebacker says
- NFL bullying case only gets worse for Miami Dolphins
- Criminal case puts focus on bullying laws
It's a huge week for Stanford, leading up to the Thursday night's meeting with Oregon, which means it's a huge week for David Shaw, obviously.
At his weekly presser, Shaw spoke at length and in detail about the match-ups and big focal points for such a significant game. It's a massive game, fascinating in every way.
But Shaw also was more than ready to address the situation involving one of his former players -- tackle Jonathan Martin, who has left the Miami Dolphins, will be placed on the non-football injury list and has notified the team and the league about potential player misconduct involving guard Richie Incognito, who reportedly left racist and threatening voice-mails on Martin's phone.
Incognito has been suspended by the team and the NFL is launching an investigation into the entire matter.
At the presser, Shaw said he hadn't yet spoken to Martin but others in the Cardinal program have, and said that he just wants Martin to feel better and get back to playing football again.
After the presser, I asked Shaw a specific question:
Was he at all concerned that there's maybe some tension between Stanford players and other NFL players with different backgrounds?
Shaw's answer: Not at all, because Stanford's program is at the level where it is sending players regularly to the NFL, and plays a physical style that is suited to the NFL -- with tough players (like Andrew Luck and Zach Ertz) who are thriving in the NFL.
In fact, Shaw said, it's becoming clearer as more details emerge that Martin wasn't being oversensitive in his reaction to Incognito, rather he was standing up as the first NFL player to speak out against locker-room bullying and Shaw said he was proud of Martin for it.
Here are the transcripts...
---DAVID SHAW post-presser interview transcript/
-Q: With what we're hearing about Jonathan Martin's situation in Miami, do you at all get concerned that there might be a Stanford-element to this? Stanford guys aren't always typical NFL-types, probably generally more worldly, educated, all that... Maybe there's some tension there we're seeing?
-SHAW: Not at all. Not at all. You're talking about a group of guys -- one of us (David DeCastro) is the starting guard for the Pittsburgh Steelers and fits in great, a tough, physical hard-working environment.
We've got another guy (Andrew Luck) who's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, who plays at his best when it gets hard and nasty and ugly, late in games.
I think we have three former tight ends or four tight ends who are playing. You're talking about, what, three running backs?
I think as a whole, there's a reason why we get all the NFL scouts coming through here. All they say is, 'Man, your guys are playing well in the NFL and you've got guys that are obviously ready to play in the NFL on your team right now.'
So I don't think that's been an issue.
I think more than anything, that's been the biggest thing that's changed since Coach Harbaugh got here -- people looking at our team and saying, 'Those guys are NFL players.' Both physically and mentally and the way we approach the game.
I think there's no question that we have one of the toughest teams in America. I think that goes without saying. I'm not saying we're the toughest.
I'm saying there's a class of teams that play the game the right way, with physical, tough-minded individuals. I think we're in that upper echelon.
-Q: You've been in a lot of NFL locker rooms. Is your locker room similar to an NFL locker room?
-SHAW: Definitely not. Definitely not. But at the same time, we do a pretty good job of educating our guys on what that next level is like, both the locker room and on the field and in the world.
Because those NFL players lead a different life than these guys live in college.
I think what we're talking about (with Martin and the Dolphins) is something that's out of the ordinary. We're talking about something that, as more comes out, we're finding out this is not just Jon being oversensitive, this is Jonathan being the first person to speak out about what's been going on.
And now it's like almost everyone's taking that opportunity to speak out. Which once again points back to the fact that this isn't an isolated incident about Jonathan. This is apparently a difficult situation.
-Q: Is that maybe a Stanford thing -- to be the guy who is the first one to speak about this issue?
-SHAW: Absolutely. Absolutely. And we're proud of Jonathan. Like I said, the biggest thing for Jonathan, in my mind, is getting him back to a position where he's ready to play the game that he loves.
----DAVID SHAW presser snippet/
-Q: Have you been in contact with Jonathan Martin?
-SHAW: I have not. I have not. We'll touch base at some point. I know some of our people have the last few days.
-Q: What are your thoughts of his situation?
-SHAW: I'm a Jonathan Martin fan, so my interest is just in him getting himself back to the point where he gets a chance to play this game that he loves again.
By all accounts he's doing well. Not sure if he's going to rejoin the team this year or when he is. But he's going to get himself back ready t play the game.
I wasn't in Miami, I don't know all that happened. I'm not even asking questions. I don't necessarily want to know all that happened.
I just want my good friend to get back to the point... he's a kid who started a lot of games last couple years and played pretty well. He's only at the beginning of his career. I'm excited for that career to continue, hopefully soon.
-Q: Would you say that he's at all maybe over-sensitive?
-SHAW: No, I wouldn't say that.
-Q: What do you do as a coach to prevent things like that in your locker room -- bullying or other unhealthy interaction?
-SHAW: Everybody has rules, everybody has things that you do and you don't do. Hazing is not permitted at all at this institution -- at all, in any way, shape or form. We let the guys know that right off the bat.
Secondly, one of the things that I say as much as anything else that I say, and I'm a repetitive son of a gun, ask all the guys, I say the same stuff all over again... we win games because of our locker room.
We win games because we have guys that trust each other, guys that play hard for each other. If you're out doing it for yourself, you can't win a team sport. You just can't.
So we talk a lot about camaraderie. We talk a lot about when anybody has an issue, anybody has a problem, we all have a problem. That's the way team sports are, that's how you become a good team.
Anybody that's been around team sports, the teams that win have some kind of camaraderie. So as a coach, that's one of the things I try to keep a pulse of all the time is, where are we as far as team camaraderie.
That's extremely important, because it's not just winning or losing, it's daily coming to work. And we want to make sure this place is receptive and conducive to guys being successful on the football field, in the classroom and in their life.

SANTA CLARA -- Diminutive Yannick Djalo is expected to make his much-anticipated Earthquakes' debut against the New England Revolution at Buck Shaw Stadium on Saturday.
It couldn't come at a better time. The Quakes are off to an 0-1-1 start in MLS, and they have 21-game home unbeaten streak (14-0-7) that they're trying to extend. San Jose's last home loss was March 3, 2013, against Real Salt Lake.
The mercurial 5-foot-6 and 140-pounder, on loan from Benfica in Portugal, can break down teams out wide or on the dribble. Plus, his resume boasts seven years of experience in Portugal's first division.
So, Quakes fans will undoubtedly be counting the minutes until Djalo finally darts onto the field. He figures to enter as a second-half substitute — about when the Quakes usually make their move.
"They have a great mentality," Djalo, 27, said of his new team through an interpreter. "That's the key thing, mentality: Never throw in the towel early. Never give up until the end. You keep on pushing forward. They have a great spirit here, and that's easy to adapt to."
Since being acquired on March 10, Djalo has been assimilating into life in the South Bay. He's also been surrounded by towering teammates. There is 6-foot-4 Clarence Goodson; the 6-foot-3 trio of Alan Gordon, Adam Jahn and Atiba Harris; 6-foot-2 Victor Bernardez; and the 6-foot-1 duo of Jean-Baptiste Pierazzi and Steven Lenhart.
He's like a squirrel in the MLS forest.
Quakes coach Mark Watson has been trying to determine the best timetable for Djalo during an awkward start to the season, in which the injury-plagued team played four games in 12 days, two in MLS and two in the CONCACAF Champions League.
"It's kind of a day-to-day thing," Watson said of Djalo, who played in 20 games for Toulouse FC in France's Ligue 1 in 2012-13. "He's got his work permit. He's eligible to play, but unfortunately, we were on the road for eight days. It's just kind of integrating him on the team and getting him a little bit fitter and a little bit sharper."
Off the field, it's also been a crash course in American culture for Djalo.
"It's a great country. I love being here," he said. "It took a little time to adapt to the time change and sleeping and all those things, but that's definitely behind me now. It's all focused on the field, trying to contribute and be a big player for this team."
Tactically speaking, Djalo could keep opposing center backs from collapsing as much on Gordon and Lenhart while providing midfielders Pierazzi and Sam Cronin with a linking player in transition. Former Quakes wing Simon Dawkins, who lacks Djalo's international pedigree, filled a similar slashing role in San Jose's 2012 run to the MLS Supporters' Shield.
The Quakes-Revolution game, which will pit teams without a win in the young season, could offer an intriguing matchup of Djalo and Revs defender Jose Goncalves. They are former teammates for Portugal in the 2007 Under-21 European Championship. Goncalves was the 2013 MLS Defender of the Year.
The Quakes have a 20-12-5 all-time record against New England, but the Revs prevailed 2-0 last season at Gillette Stadium.
San Jose's focus in training this week has been of healing and regrouping after the team fell into some bad habits in a 1-0 loss at Sporting Kansas City on March 22. Forward Chris Wondolowski called the team effort in K.C. "mediocre" and his play "very poor."
He said they'll use the setback as motivation against the Revs.
Saturday's game
New England (0-2-1) at Earthquakes (0-1-1), 7:30 p.m., CSNCA

The Sleepers
Courbet, who paved the way for Realism in the mid-19th century, remained on the fringes of official art thanks to the support of a few collectors. He asserted his originality through his depictions of women in particular.
Nudes with lifelike flesh shocked visitors to the Salon who were used to the white, smooth nymphs of academic painting. This painting, one of Courbet's masterpieces, is emblematic of the world of reverie and bliss of the painter who jubilantly celebrated the beauty of the body.
Painted specially for the diplomat Khalil-Bey, The Sleepers directly entered a private collection, without having to face the censure of the Salon. This type of transaction would be repeated with the delivery of the highly confidential Origin of the World to the same collector (Paris, Musée d'Orsay). A Turkish emissary based in Paris since 1860, Khalil-Bey assembled a fine set of paintings from his own century. He bought works by Delacroix, Chassériau and Rousseau with discernment, often through the intermediary of the dealer Durand-Ruel. The collector acquired Ingres' ultimate masterpiece, The Turkish Bath (Paris, Louvre Museum), and was particularly interested in Courbet as a painter of women and sensuality.
Flattering his patron's taste, the painter returned to a boudoir subject harking back to the licentious engravings and literary evocations of lesbian love. Playing on the contrast between complexions and hair colour, he represents two types of beauty intertwined in a tangle of silky sheets. The contemporary aspect of the life-size scene echoes Manet's Olympia (Paris, Musée d'Orsay), a painting in a very similar format to that of The Sleepers which caused a great scandal at the Salon in 1865.

Jill Janes, superintendent of the Hannibal public school district, has voiced her reservations regarding controversial legislation that, if passed, would authorize Missouri teachers and school administrators to carry concealed firearms into classrooms.
"First teachers need to feel secure where they teach and children need to feel secure where they're learning, but the teacher's primary job is to teach. I think it might be difficult expecting them to do more than that," she said Thursday morning.
Earlier this week Gov. Jay Nixon voiced his opposition to the proposal that was made in the wake of the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Nixon described the proposal of Missouri state Rep. Mike Kelley, R-Lamar, as "the wrong approach."
"More can and should be done to enhance school safety, but this legislation would put our children at risk and limit the ability of local school districts to keep their schools safe," Nixon said in a publicly released letter to school superintendents. "Putting loaded weapons in classrooms is quite simply the wrong approach to a serious issue that demands careful analysis and thoughtful solutions."
Missouri law currently allows concealed guns to be carried by people age 21 and older who have no felony convictions, are not mentally incompetent and pass a firearms training course and a background check. But state law prohibits concealed guns from being brought into schools unless approved by the local school board or a school official.
Under Kelley's legislation that was filed last week, teachers and administrators with concealed gun permits could bring their weapons to school without need of local approval.
Among the co-sponsors of Kelley's proposal is District 4 Rep. Craig Redmon, a Republican from Canton.

Gujarati Communities Across the Globe book review
February 12, 2013
LeftCentral Book Review
Imagine if you will that you and your family have been designated non-citizens by your government and ordered to leave your homeland within ninety-day`s. Add to this, the fact that the announcement is made by a political leader noted for his volatility and cruelty. And during the ninety-day count-down you hear reports of atrocities against your neighbours, every knock on your door becomes a potential threat. This is a nightmare scenario, which nobody should face but the Asian community in Uganda in 1972 was confronted by this precise set of circumstances. This happened after a dream which compelled President Idi Amin to expel all the Asians from Uganda. A decree initially limited to "non citizens" extended to include all Asians, including non Gujaratis Goans, Muharhastrans, Sikhs and Punjabis. Read more of this post

RENO, Nev. — The National Association of Professional Women (NAPW) announced the association has launched an NAPW chapter in Reno, Nev. to promote networking among business women from northern Nevada and northern California. It offers professional women located in both Northern California and Nevada the opportunity to network in-person with women colleagues.
The area chapter will be headed by newly appointed NAPW President Mimi Garner, president of Sierra Adventures, Inc., a small business consulting and marketing firm. Mimi Garner is a long-time resident of Graeagle, Calif. and a local small business owner.
The first meeting of the Reno Chapter will be a luncheon event Oct. 4 at the Siena Hotel Spa Casino at 11:30 a.m. RSVP required by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Cost of luncheon is $25. Guest speaker will be the Honorable Judge Jim Gray, Libertarian Party United States Vice Presidential candidate who will speak about small business issues facing professional women and current issues facing the country.
NAPW provides on-line seminars, pod casts, webinars, educational tools and is organized to help foster networking and career development skills that enable members to achieve personal and career success.
"Through the NAPW website, members can network with other women, research, uncover and review professional and social issues and opportunities that can materially impact business development, career advancement and their social well-being," said Cindy Burns, NAPW's national director of Local Chapters.
"Local chapters are being organized to enhance the NAPW experience by encouraging members to go beyond the benefits offered through the NAPW website," noted Burns. "By meeting face-to-face with area members, women who take advantage of the local chapters can now, more aggressively, share business and related challenges, explore opportunities and solutions and, collectively tap resources that might not be available to individuals who are not affiliated with an organized group, such as NAPW."
To date, NAPW has more than 300,000 members throughout the United States.
"I am thrilled and honored to be heading up the newest NAPW chapter and look forward to being a part of the growth of the association in the Reno area," said Garner. "The on-line benefits offered by NAPW are helpful to me and to other members I've networked with. But I'm confident that the additional face-to-face exposure to area members and the greater sense of camaraderie that is sure to evolve through regular attendance at our local meetings, Reno chapter members will soon be experiencing a new, higher level of value and satisfaction."
Professional women who are interested in joining the Reno Local Chapter of the NAPW should contact Mimi Garner at 530-836-1225. For more information please go to www.NAPW.com.

BANGKOK -- On the eve of his landmark trip to Myanmar, President Barack Obama tried to assure critics that his visit was not a premature reward for a long-isolated nation still easing its way toward democracy.
"This is not an endorsement of the government," Obama said Sunday in Thailand as he opened a three-country dash through Asia. "This is an acknowledgement that there is a process under way inside that country that even a year and a half, two years ago, nobody foresaw."
Obama was set to become the first U.S. president to visit Myanmar with Air Force One scheduled to touch down in Yangon on Monday morning. Though Obama planned to spend just six hours in the country, the much-anticipated stop came as the result of a remarkable turnaround in the countries' relationship.
The president's Asia tour also marks his formal return to the world stage after months mired in a bruising re-election campaign. For his first postelection trip, he tellingly settled on Asia, a region he has deemed as crucial to U.S. prosperity and security.
Aides say Asia will factor heavily in Obama's second term as the U.S. seeks to expand its influence in an attempt to counter China.
China's rise is also at play in Myanmar, which long has aligned itself with Beijing. But some in Myanmar fear that China is taking advantage of its wealth of natural resources, so the country is looking for other partners to help build its nascent economy.
Obama has rewarded Myanmar's rapid adoption of democratic reforms by lifting some economic penalties.
The president has appointed a permanent ambassador to the country, also known as Burma, and pledged greater investment if Myanmar continues to progress following a half-century of military rule.
But some human rights groups say Myanmar's government, which continues to hold hundreds of political prisoners and is struggling to contain ethnic violence, hasn't done enough to earn a personal visit from Obama.
Speaking from neighboring Thailand, Obama said Sunday he was under no illusions that Myanmar had done all it needed to do. But he said the U.S. could play a critical role in helping ensure the country doesn't slip backward.
"I'm not somebody who thinks that the United States should stand on the sidelines and not want to get its hands dirty when there's an opportunity for us to encourage the better impulses inside a country," Obama said during a joint press conference Sunday with Thailand's prime minister.
Obama will meet separately in Myanmar with Prime Minister Thein Sein, who has orchestrated much of his country's recent reforms. The president will also meet with longtime Myanmar democracy activist Aung Sun Suu Kyi in the home where she spent years under house arrest.
The president, as he seeks to assuage critics, has trumpeted Suu Kyi's support of his outreach efforts, saying Sunday that she was "very encouraging" of his trip.
The White House says Obama will express his concern for the ongoing ethnic tensions in Myanmar's western Rakhine state, where more than 110,000 people -- the vast majority of them Muslims known as Rohingya -- have been displaced.
The U.N. has called the Rohingya -- who are widely reviled by the Buddhist majority in Myanmar -- among the world's most persecuted people.
The White House says Obama will press the matter Monday with Thein Sein, along with demands to free remaining political prisoners as the nation transitions to democracy.

A year ago, roughly 200 veterans, hikers and history buffs argued at a public meeting whether the huge, Cold War-era radar tower on the summit of Mount Umunhum -- one of Silicon Valley's most visible landmarks -- should be torn down or preserved.
Today political debate has given way to the sound of demolition equipment.
Crews from American Wrecking, a Los Angeles company, began work Sept. 24 to remove all 88 structures on the summit of the 3,486-foot peak in the hills south of San Jose that once made up the Almaden Air Force Station. Work is expected to be finished in January.
The only building exempt from the wrecking ball is the iconic five-story radar tower -- its permanent fate still uncertain.
On Oct. 17, 2012, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, the government agency that owns the landmark known as "the cube" to many Silicon Valley residents, backed off plans to demolish the structure and instead gave supporters five years to raise $1.2 million to save it.
In the year since, the agency, based in Los Altos, has steadily moved forward on its ultimate goal: transforming the former Air Force outpost east of Los Gatos into a park where visitors will be able to drive, hike, bike or ride horses to the summit, taking in views of Monterey Bay, San Francisco Bay and all of Silicon Valley.
Because of a variety of delays, however, the district's expected date for constructing a public trail to the top has slipped from 2015 last year to 2017 now.
"That was our best guess at the time," said Meredith Manning, acting planning manager for the district. "Anyone who has a house remodeling project understands that it is the nature of construction work to encounter delays."
Originally the trail was going to be 2 miles long. But the route was so steep that planners redesigned it to be a more gradual 4.2 miles, which will take more time to construct, she said. Also, parking for 25 cars, signs, a toilet and a trail head need to be built, with work set to start next summer.
The district estimates the total cost to tear down the old Air Force site, repave the road to the summit, build the trails and other amenities at $13 million. It has $4.2 million so far. Officials note that anyone trespassing at the summit now will be arrested; security guards patrol it 24-7.
At its peak, 120 Air Force personnel and their families lived at the Almaden Air Force Station, which had homes, a gym, garages and even a bowling alley. The base was an early warning system looking for Soviet bombers from 1957 to 1980, when it was made obsolete by satellites. It was acquired in 1986 by the open space district.
Since then, the district has purchased more than 18,000 acres around the summit to create an area named the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve, with trails for hiking, biking and horse riding. Still, the summit remains behind locked gates. Two years ago, the district removed lead paint, asbestos and PCBs from the dilapidated buildings.
Crews at the summit this week are shredding wood into mulch. They are crushing concrete into small pieces to be buried in old foundations, covered with dirt and replanted with native seeds. They are piling up rusty pipes, steel beams and appliances to be recycled.
"It's a big job. It's basically demolishing a small town," said Gina Coony, the district's project manager.
On Monday, crews working with an 80,000-pound yellow Caterpillar excavator smashed huge pieces of concrete that once formed the base's recreation hall. Twisted rebar sat piled nearby. The smell of pine, from several trees that had to be removed as part of the $1.2 million demolition job, filled the air.
"Nature will reclaim all this pretty quickly. In a year you probably won't be able to tell it was ever here," Coony said. "And look at the view!'' she said, pointing to Santa Cruz beaches in the distance. "You couldn't see this a few weeks ago."
This spring, the district will put out to bid the job to shore up the radar tower. Next summer, workers will seal cracks, block windows and doors with steel plates, and repair the roof.
Meanwhile, supporters of saving the tower are working to raise the $1.2 million needed by 2017 to pay for permanent repairs. They formed a nonprofit group, the Umunhum Conservancy, based in San Jose. They have a website and a board of directors that includes longtime county parks commissioner Kitty Monahan, and they have been setting up booths at community events.
"The response has been really fantastic," said Sam Drake, the conservancy's president. "An awful lot of people are very sad when they hear the plan is to knock the radar tower down unless we can raise the money."
So far, the group has raised about $10,000 in more than 100 donations, plus a $200,000 commitment from former Oakland A's owner Steve Schott. Last week, a committee of the open space district's board passed rules requiring the conservancy to raise $625,000 before it will sign a formal agreement. Those rules, along with a decision not to include a link from the district's website to the conservancy, has some wondering if the district really wants the tower saved.
"They seem to be putting up obstacles," said Basim Jaber, a San Jose history buff who has led tours of veterans to the top.
But district leaders say it's only fair that the group prove it is serious.
"People drop out, people can lose interest," said district board member Nonette Hanko of Palo Alto. "We wanted to be sure that it would be worth the district's time.
"I can't say our board is 100 percent behind fixing up the building or seeing that it stays," she added. "I'm in favor of it because I have strong feelings about historic places. I want the conservancy to succeed."

Phantogram subsequently released the Running from the Cops EP in May 2009 on the international label BBE Records. The duo finally made its full-length album debut with Eyelid Movies (2010), an 11-track album featuring the four previously released EP songs "Mouthful of Diamonds," "When I'm Small," "Running from the Cops," and "Bloody Palms." The album was released internationally by BBE Records, domestically by Barsuk Records, and on vinyl by Ghostly International. The duo returned in late 2011 with the Nightlife EP, which sold enough to hit the lower reaches of the U.S. charts.
They continued to tour heavily but found the time to collaborate with OutKast's Big Boi on his second album Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumours (2012) and also featured on the Flaming Lips track "Young Lust" in 2013. Their success continued in 2013 when fan favorite "When I'm Small" appeared on the MTV adaptation of the hit U.K. show Skins and they released a four-song, self-titled EP. Toward the end of the year they returned to Upstate New York and began to write and record their second full-length album. The pair traveled to L.A. to put the finishing touches on the record, titled Voices, with producer John Hill (Santigold, M.I.A.). It was released by their new label Republic in early 2014.~ Jason Birchmeier & Scott Kerr

NEW: For a prettier blog interface, see the Wordpress version!
I love computer science. I want to help other people learn as much about computer science as they can so that they can enjoy it as much as I do. I want them to not only learn the tools and techniques we teach in class, but also develop the discipline of thinking logically and the ability to learn on their own.
In order to do that, it is not enough to know the subject well. I also need to know how to teach effectively - how to engage and excite students, how to draw out their questions and guide them to answers. I want to be able to reach each student - not as a faceless, nameless crowd I teach to, but as individuals from whom I can learn and with whom I can share what I know.
It will not be easy. Not all my lessons will proceed according to plan. Not all the examples I use will be clear and understandable. But armed with a passion for the field and a desire to help people learn effectively, I hope to do the best I can.
Corporate training
Trainees or their managers are the experts on what they need to learn in order to do their job more effectively. However, they might not be able to:
- express their questions in the vocabulary used by the particular tool
- find and interpret relevant documentation
- identify, explain and fix common errors
- relate new concepts to their work
I see corporate training as an opportunity to
- share the knowledge I gained working on open source projects
- encourage companies to consider using open source
- prepare people for a rapidly changing industry by helping them develop independent learning skills
I do that through
- Real-world exercises, analogies and examples. I actively collect and develop creative, intuitive explanations for computing concepts. The exercises, analogies and examples I make attempt to address different learning styles and levels of skill.
- Attention to understanding. I don't just teach syntax or usage; I aim for understanding and mastery. Experience in programming and teaching programming has helped me develop skills in visually identify errors from code or output, mapping the errors to possible misconceptions the trainee has, and correct those misconceptions in plain English or Filipino.
I'd love to hear about any questions, comments, suggestions or links that you might have. Your comments will not be posted on this website immediately, but will be e-mailed to me first. You can use this form to get in touch with me, or e-mail me at [email protected] .

WASHINGTON -- San Jose State's trip to play in the Military Bowl didn't get off to the smoothest of starts on Sunday.
The Spartans were scheduled to depart San Jose on an 8 a.m. charter flight, but were delayed nearly five hours because of scheduled aircraft maintenance. They finally did take off and landed in the D.C. area shortly before 8:30 p.m. Eastern time. They made it to the hotel shortly after 9:30.
The players and coaches were greeted with a reception at their hotel that included plenty of food and the school's fight song blaring over the speakers.
"I was quite astonished when I first walked in," sophomore defensive tackle Travis Raciti said. "I didn't think we'd have people here waiting for us, coming all the way across the country. They had a big ceremony for us. All this food, a five-star hotel. I'm pretty impressed."
The players seemed to take the travel delays in stride. They killed the time playing games on their cell phones and relaxing.
"I'm just excited to be back. I love the DC area," sophomore wide receiver Jabari Carr said. "Delays happen. We really can't control it but we're here and we're ready to get it going. "San Jose State's opponent, Bowling Green, also arrived in town Sunday. The Falcons travelled via a bus caravan from Ohio. The teams meet Thursday at noon at RFK Stadium.
SJSU will dive into the bowl experience on Monday morning with a tour of the U.S. Capitol. The Spartans will have their first practice in the afternoon at a Washington high school. A busy day concludes when both teams will attend a hypnotist show in the evening.
Tuesday will be similarly busy for SJSU, which will visit a retirement home in the morning, practice in the evening and take a bus tour of the city in the evening.
The Spartans will keep to the short hour and a half practice sessions they've used over the last couple of weeks.
It's the first bowl experience for the Spartans since the 2006 New Mexico Bowl. The only player who has bowl experience is De'Leon Eskridge, who played in back-to-back Insight Bowls in 2008 and 2009 for Minnesota.
Footballscoop.com also reported that Caragher has offered the offensive coordinator job to Washington wide receivers coach Jimmie Dougherty.
Before spending the past four years at Washington, Dougherty spent five years at San Diego working under both Caragher and former San Diego coach Jim Harbaugh. He was Caragher's offensive coordinator in 2008 with the Toreros.

current version on Mac is 3.0.2, not 3.8.x
I have used both Mozy and SugarSync but this is superior.
AppFresh appears to be comparing the family version of CrashPlan to CrashPlan pro, giving off a false sense of version upgrade available. I'd suggest not doing this as the two are completely separate products.
Hands down the BEST backup application for Mac (and Windows, Linux, and Solaris!)
Great, great program. Works perfectly, multi-platform, no complaints whatsoever. I gave up using mozy to use this. IMHO, the best feature is the ability to do peer-to-peer local backup on your home network which allows you to create redundant backups - one for catastrophic losses offsite (house burns down) and one locally for airhead deletions that you can quickly restore from.
Want to experience pain? Restore 30gb of files from Mozy - takes a week or more - no fun. Crashplan is quick and easy for local restores.
I've been testing this for a month now and must say that I'm very impressed. Everything is working seamlessly and haven't had a single issue. Backups and restores are working as advertised. Just purchased a family unlimited plan to keep backing up to the cloud...
I think this is the best online backup program I've ever used, and most likely the best backup application for Mac in general. I've tried Mozy, Carbonite, and a few others for long-term use and CrashPlan wins hands down. It uses the least resources, bandwidth and time to run and backup while being reliable and robust. This may sound more like a sales pitch, but I'm just extremely happy to have found a backup program that actually works for me without the reliability, performance and restriction problems I was having with Mozy. All in all, I'm surprised at the quality of the software, their support, and presentation.
After using CrashPlan seamlessly for a month, including testing the restore functionality, I've decided to purchase the 1 year unlimited backup subscription to CrashPlan central. CrashPlan has a great interface and like all good Mac software, it just works. Recommended.
Best backup I have used so far for my MacBook Pro. I have tried Mozy and JungleDisk as well, and this one works by far the best.
My Favorite points
-Runs as daemon so gets out of your way
-Does binary diffs...even if you move/rename files. Therefor it always uploads the minimum amount of data.
-Backup to multiple places at the same time
This is a fantastic piece of software. I downloaded it, installed it, configured my notebook to backup to my other Mac and everything just works perfectly.

I've been suffering this error. Everything else about PMS for Mac OSX is easy, brilliant, wonderful, innovative, but streaming radio is the last and only hurdle that is niggling. For days I have studied this site over and tried to figure out everything, and I have figured everything aside from this ...
Using OSX LION, the latest PMS, PS3 4.11, VLC 0.9.8, MPlayer MacOSX (I assume this matters?)
I have moved the WEB.conf file over to the user Library folder, edited it, it works for most everything and shows changes.
I have moved VLC upward in the Web Audio Streaming Engines stack, since it plays all these streams in VLC without ANY problem.
All engines are active.
But on the PS3 it shows the stations I have entered as well as the logos I entered, but when trying to play--DATA NOT SUPPORTRED.
Then the station and logo disappear to merely say DATA NOT SUPPORTED.
Using MPLAYER WEB activated and top, 3 of these 4 stations play. The 3rd, High Desert Radio, will not play with any streaming engine despite playing in VLC player on the Mac.
Here is a list of stations I have entered in WEB.conf :
audiostream.Web,Radio=KBPS All-classical,http://www.abacast.com/media/pls/classical899/classical899-classical899-96.pls,http://allclassical.org/assets/images/img_logo_top.gif
audiostream.Web,Radio=KIXW High Desert's Talk,http://icy1.abacast.com:80/eldorado-kixw-64.m3u
audiostream.Web,Radio=Anime Radio,http://sc4.mystreamserver.com:8068,http://www.jrhorse.info/images/keikyutan.jpg
Am I formatting wrong? Is there some setting I am missing? This is probably some simple oversight, but I have done dozens of fixes and fiddlings and can't get it working. Help?
EDIT: FIXED IT. I just eliminated the .m3u from the stream URL and it works. SORRY FOR THE THREAD, but maybe it will help others in the future.

On Beauty and the Everyday: The Prints of James McNeill Whistler
August 21–November 28, 2010
UMMA's rare and important collection of works on paper by James McNeill Whistler represents one of the finest holdings of Whistler's graphic output in North America. This exhibition will feature nearly 100 works of art from UMMA's extraordinary Whistler collection, which covers the artist's entire career in Europe, ranging from his student days and early orientation towards Realism to the evanescent and atmospheric lithographs and etchings of his mature style.
Nearly all of the Whistler works came to the Museum through the bequest of Margaret Watson Parker, an early collector of both Whistler's prints as well as Japanese art. This set of interests brought her in contact with America's most important collector of Whistler's work, Charles Lang Freer. Parker's Whistler collection is notable for its superb quality. The role of collector in the early twentieth century and Parker's championing of Whistler's works will also be examined in this exhibition.
This exhibition is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Health System, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Friends of the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.
