WIESBADEN, Germany - Safety doesn't stop at the job site.
That's what officials hoped to get across to more than 650 Soldiers during a 66th Military Intelligence Brigade Safety Stand Down Day May 27.
"We lose too many Soldiers to accidents that are preventable," said Gary Smith, brigade safety officer. "So off duty is what we concentrated on (for safety training). We hope that they realize that they're personal actions have consequences."
Want to relax with your iPod, listen to some tunes and turn in early'
Be careful, says Barbara Smith, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden occupational health nurse. While basic training of hearing protection is old hat for Soldiers, the simplest every day activities can also cause permanent hearing loss.
Deci-Bella - a mannequin donning a noise dosimeter - showed even a simple leisure listen to some timeless tunes can cause permanent damage.
A Soldier stepped forward and scrolled his finger on an iPod to place the volume at just the right listening level.
The dosimeter shot up above 90 decibels.
"You're going to experience hearing loss," Barb Smith told the Soldier.
Any noise that measures at 85 decibels or above can cause permanent damage. And even at lesser levels, if the noise is persistent over a long period of time, the effect can also be damaging.
Smith's advice: wear your hearing protection and be careful about your music listening habits.
Motorcycle accidents
How about a short drive down the Autobahn to an out of the way German city or festival'
Helmut Schartel, with the garrison's Safety Office, asked Soldiers to drive safely and keep an eye out for the smallest vehicles: motorcycles.
According to the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center, 15 soldiers have been killed in motorcycle accidents in fiscal year 2010.
And, said Schartel, about half of all fatal motorcycle accidents involve other vehicles. And most of the time, the motorist, and not the motorcyclist, is at fault.
"We get overlooked and that's the big problem," said Schartel, who has been a motorcycle rider for 26 years.
Some things to remember when sharing the road:
A-A A? Motorcycles can be easily hidden in a car's blind spot. "So always look before changing lanes," said Schartel.
A-A A? Motorcyclists can change positions in their lanes and do so for safety. It is not an invitation to share the lane.
A-A A? Motorcyclists can slow down by downshifting or rolling off the throttle, thus not activating the brake light.
The safety stand down day was a collaboration between brigade and garrison safety officials. Open to Soldiers and civilian employees garrison-wide, the event, said Gary Smith, was intended to get people thinking about safety off the job.
"They don't really consider their actions have consequences, and people become complacent," said Smith. "Some behavior they just do over and over again until it leads to an accident."

The person who makes all cares into one carethe care for simply staying presentwill be cared for by that presencewhich is creative love.
Kabir Helminski
Contributed by: Darren
Letting go all else, cling to the following few truths. Remember that man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant: all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed. This mortal life is a little thing, lived in a little corner of the earth; and little, too, is the longest fame to come - dependent as it is on a succession of fast-perishing little men who have no knowledge even of their own selves, much less of one long dead and gone.

TEHRAN: A top aide to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who has been jailed since September was replaced yesterday as the head of Iran's state Islamic Republic News Agency (Irna), and other media reported.
Ali Akbar Javanfekr, who is being held in Tehran's notorious Evin prison, was succeeded by another Ahmadinejad adviser, Majid Omidi Shahraki, who led the president's Political and Security Affairs office, they said.
Javanfekr was arrested on September 26 - just as Ahmadinejad was giving a speech in New York at the UN General Assembly - and is serving a six-month jail term in Evin.
He has been convicted of publishing material offensive to Islamic codes and public morality by allowing one of the state newspapers under his control to run articles questioning Iran's strict Islamic dress code for women.
Javanfekr and other Ahmadinejad aides have long been targets for Iran's hardline judges and ultra-conservative lawmakers who see them as attempting to undermine religious principles.
Ahmadinejad became locked in a public row with judiciary chief Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani over getting access to Evin prison. He eventually was able to see Javanfekr last month when the aide was briefly taken to hospital for what reports said was a "heart condition". The Islamic Republic News Agency (Irna) has a network of domestic bureaux and several correspondents in other countries. Omidi Shahraki is the fifth Irna head to be named since Ahmadinejad took power in 2005.
8 killed in Turkey mine accident
ANKARA: Rescue workers in northern Turkey yesterday recovered the bodies of eight miners believed to have been killed in a methane gas explosion, the state-run Anatolia news agency reported, quoting an official.
Eight workers lost their lives buried in coal dust and one was recovered alive, said Mahmut Ozcelik, deputy director of Turkish coal mining firm TTK.
The details of the accident were not immediately clear.
But it is believed to have been triggered by a methane gas blast that ripped through the mine in the Black Sea province of Zonguldak. The worst accident happened in 1992 when 263 workers were killed in a gas explosion in a mine in Zonguldak.
Three dead in northern Iraq
Mosul, Iraq: Gunmen killed two policemen and security forces discovered the corpse of a Christian woman stabbed to death in Iraq's main northern city yesterday, officials said.
The two policemen were killed and three others wounded when militants opened fire on their checkpoint in Mosul, 350km north of Baghdad, while the woman's body was found in her apartment, police and a doctor said.

They're known to some as "ghost ads," painted signs on the sides of buildings that have faded over the years to the point where they're barely legible or noticeable.
But FOUND Antiques owner Chuck Swaney has enlisted the aid of local artist Thaddeus Brejwo to bring the ghost ad on the side of his Harmar Village building back to life, and he hopes other businesses follow suit.
"That is a classic, old, hand-painted advertising sign, Tornes Bros. Shoes," Swaney said. "What do I do? I sell antiques. So I'm a believer in saving the past."

EVAN BEVINS The Marietta Times
The faded Tornes Bros. Shoes sign on the side of the FOUND Antiques building at 113 Maple St. in Harmar is being repainted by local artist Thaddeus Brejwo, shown working on it Monday.
The 113 Maple St. building that houses FOUND was built in 1896, with Tornes Bros. opening in it the following year. Over time, the approximately 13-by-20-foot sign faded, but not to the point that Brewjo can't recreate it.
"There's enough on it that I can connect the dots," he said.
To match the colors as accurately as possible, Brejwo has pulled samples from small cracks that were at least partially shielded from the elements. On Monday, he was coating the surface with an acrylic polymer to seal off the old lead paint, provide a bonding agent for the new coat and keep moisture from seeping in after the new paint is applied.

If the weather cooperates, he expects to have the "new" sign completed this week.
Ghost ads can be found on buildings around downtown Marietta and Harmar, and Swaney would like to some of those restored as well. Having multiple signs vividly visible again could be another asset to the city's efforts to attract tourists, he said.
"I think any enhancement that you make in this town, it is just another feather in our cap," said Swaney, who also serves as president of the board of directors for the Marietta-Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Article Links
Lynne Sturtevant, owner of Hidden Marietta Ghost Trek, said the ghost ads already draw interest from people taking her downtown ghost walks. They also attracted the attention of Facebook users when she posted an album of them on her page about a year ago.
"Lots of people say just that - 'Oh, it would be cool if they would redo them,'" Sturtevant said.
Some people don't realize how many ghost ads are in Marietta until they're pointed out, Sturtevant said. Her photo collection includes images from the former Leader Restaurant on the side of the Gallery building at 222 Front St. and the back of The Peoples Bank Theatre, where a portion of its former name, the Hippodrome Theatre, is visible.
"Once you start looking at them, you see them everywhere," she said.
The downside to restoring the ads is that there is "a kind of beauty in their faded states," Sturtevant said. But she thinks repainting some while leaving others as is would work just fine.
"I think that it would draw some visitors," she said.

You've been eyeing a cheap Coach handbag and you're wondering what makes the bag so special? How can you justify the price tag for the purse of your dreams? You've definitely came to the right place. I've owned over ten Coach purses, even some designer knockoffs. I can say that once you have owned an authentic Coach purse, you will never want to go back to anything else. This list gives you reasons why you want to buy a Coach handbag from one Coach enthusiast to another:
- Superb Duality: The quality of construction that is put into designing and creating each cheap Coach handbag is quality unlike any purse you can buy for under $100. Coach uses the finest of materials for the fabrics, colors, leathers and buckles. Even when you pick up and examine a handbag you will be able to tell the wonderful amount of craftsmanship that's been placed in the bag. I've had several of my cheap coach bags for years and they look just as good as the day I purchased them, since I've taken good care of them. In the same breathe, I can say that I purchased a designer knockoff only to have a strap break only 2 months after purchasing the bag.
- Unique Design: Coach's handbags have unique designs that are cutting edge. When I follow the trends of Coach outlet bags, I see other purses pop up several months later at department stores that have a similar styles in design, at lower prices. Coach even has released an "Ergo" line of ergonomic handbags that fit the design of your body more naturally.
- Colors: I'm a huge fan of Coach for their vibrant colors. The handbag style I follow the most is their patchwork style bags. Until Coach released a patchwork style, you couldn't see any other handbag around with the same look. Now, several other brands have started making patchwork styled bags that resemble the ones that Coach created.
- Care: With each cheap Coach bag you purchase, there is typically literature that comes with the handbag that instructs you how you can keep the look of your bag as new as possible with care instructions. Most of these bags also come with their own dust bag, which is used for storage of the handbag when you are not carrying it. Coach has definitely thought of everything!
- Designer Style: Coach has set themselves apart as a brand to be envied over. Their signature pieces that feature the famous Coach C's, are widely known. You will be the envy of all of your friends carrying a Coach bag. Each Coach bag is uniquely serial numbered for authenticity, so each bag is unique. Buying a Coach handbag is an investment. The bags $198 $698 or higher. You are definitely spending money, but are receiving quality product that is unlike any other handbag with trendsetting style that can be used for years to come.

Birth Control Health Center
The Hard Facts on Condoms
In this article
Condoms prevent pregnancies and STDs. They create a barrier that keeps semen and other body fluids out of the vagina, rectum, or the mouth.
There are condoms for men and for women -- but don't use both at the same time. One can stick to the other and pull it out of place or tear it.
Did You Know?
Under the Affordable Care Act, many health insurance plans will provide free women's preventive services, including mammograms, birth control and well-woman visits. Learn more.
What Is a Male Condom?
It's a fitted, thin plastic cover that a man wears on his penis during sex. There are a lot of different types.
Latex, plastic, or lambskin. Most people use condoms made of latex. If you're sensitive or allergic to that material, you can use ones made of other types of plastic: polyurethane or polyisoprene. Plastic condoms can protect you from STDs, such as HIV, herpes, chlamydia, and gonorrhea, during any kind of sex -- vaginal, oral, and anal. "Natural" or "lambskin" condoms are made of material that comes from lamb intestines. They prevent pregnancy, but like human skin, they're porous. That means they don't protect you from STDs.
Lubrication, or lube, is a thin coating of liquid on the condom. It can prevent pain and irritation during sex, and it can help keep the condom from breaking. If you buy one that's not already pre-coated, you'll probably want to add some lube to make sex more comfortable. Make sure you use a water-based product that's meant for sex. Oil-based lubricants like petroleum jelly can damage the condom and keep it from working.
Spermicide is a substance that kills sperm, and some condoms come pre-coated with it. When you use both together, you can lower the risk of pregnancy, but the amount of spermicide that comes with a condom is probably not enough to make a difference. If you want the extra protection, consider getting a separate sperm-killing product. Look for one that has octoxynol-9. Another common spermicide, nonoxynol-9, can irritate the genitals, which may increase the risk of HIV.
Textured condoms, including ribbed and studded ones, are intended to boost the pleasure for you or your partner. But how it makes you feel could be different from what someone else enjoys. If a condom keeps you or your partner from enjoying sex, try textured ones to see if they feel better. You can also make putting on the condom part of foreplay.
You might also find glow-in-the-dark or other novelty condoms, too. But be careful: These kinds are typically not FDA-approved and are not proven to prevent pregnancies or STDs. Make sure the package clearly states that the product guards against both.

John & cathy's Review
Creative Kitchen & Bath are a great company to work with!
We've used Creative Kitchen & Bath a few times over the years. They've remodeled three bathrooms and one kitchen for us. Those projects have all been really great experiences. They did good jobs and we are very pleased with the results.
All of the bathroom projects were completed on schedule or even ahead of schedule. With the kitchen remodel, however, it went a little over the time frame because the correct materials weren't in, but it worked out perfectly and looks great! We highly recommend their services. They really are a great company to work with.

Khan didn't intentionally want to stand toe to toe with Madaina........(frightening)
His game plan was to box and make Madaina miss. But Madaina's will and strength made Khan fight Madaina's fight. This is worrying for Khan because he was not in control for large parts of the fight. He may have been edging rounds, but he was fighting Madaina's fight unintentionally.
Although he has great physical attributes, i think he lacks a boxing brain. He may be saying now he wanted his chin tested, but that is a load of bull****. No fighter would risk getting knocked out at this stage of their careers, and Khan is one of them.
He has a lot of heart, but just seems his boxing brain is a little dense. This is why i just cant see him unifying the titles at 140.

he won the fight but his ring generalship was really poor, Maidana pretty much dictated the fight for a lot of the rounds and was landing some serious shots.

it would be foolish to stand toe to toe w/ a devastating puncher.

I predicted a very positive outcome for Khan, though, for the sake of positive thinking itself. But the shortcomings I felt were there showed up.
However, Amir showed a lot of quality in fortitudinal departments, quality I believed was there but that others doubted...so I'm ultimately happy with his performance.
I had a 10-8 round for each man, disregarded the point deduction in my personal scoring and had the fight two ways - one being 7-5 for Amir and the other being 6-6. He didn't deserve to lose the fight, that's for sure.

If you read his interviews before the fight it was Khan's idea to stand toe to toe with Maidana. He wanted to be more aggressive and he was.

He didn't really "stand and fight" for the most part, he made a movement-based gameplan work effectively for large spells (with some intermittent tough spots) until the Championship rounds, when Maidana came on strong and forced the issue. When Khan was "standing" is when he was coming off worse in the fight; Maidana mauled him inside and Khan didn't really fight there.
Anyway, it was an inspiring performance, regardless.

Yeah, it was an inspiring performance, but he needs to improve his defence and stick to boxing at range from now on. Bradley may not have power, but he pressures effectively and throws a lot of punches. Khan can't afford to get into a scrap with him or he will lose rounds. However, I'm confident that if he sticks behind his jab, works the body, and defends his chin, he can beat anybody at 140-147.

News 12 at 6 o' clock/ October 3, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga.--It's day three of the government shutdown, and so far, there's no end in sight. The furloughs are hitting a lot of local familes where it really hurts: their wallets.
That's because while paychecks may not be coming in for hundreds of federal employees in our area, the bills still are.
Heather Menard is the wife of a Department of Defense civilian employee at Ft. Gordon. It's a scary time for them as they work to make ends meet. She worries she'll lose her SUV or her daughter's car. She says, "He's filed for unemployment, they told them they could do that, but when he went there yesterday, they told him the most he'd get for these four days is $50 bucks."
For families' like the Menard's, still feeling the effects from a 6 day furlough earlier this year, this pay cut hits hard. We spoke to another worried Ft. Gordon employee, afraid he'd lose his job if he showed his face.
He told us, "In my particular case, I was able to set aside money for the first furloughs, and we haven't had time to recover to prepare for this. It's just 'bam' it's there, and there's nothing you can do."
Menard says, "It's like, here we go again, but for this time, how long?"
The only help on Menard's side right now is in her freezer. She recently won a gift certificate for free groceries.
She says, "Everybody sees on TV, and the late night comics make a joke of it, 'Oh, does anyone even notice that the government is shut down?' Yeah, we do."
While Heather stays close to home to save gas, her husband is out applying for other jobs. He's even seeing if getting deployed for a 5th time is an option.
Menard says, "To some people, they're like, how can you wish for your husband to be deployed, well, when you're looking at something like this and it's your only option, you take what you can get."
Now, she's just hoping Congress can pass a budget soon, so she can salvage what's left of hers. She says, "Just come to a decision already because your constituents, all of them, both parties, are suffering."


text: Posted April 4, 2013 Does he do it better as a pass rusher? Yes. Is he the more well-rounded prospect? No. While Richardson is a terror at shooting through the gap, he doesn't overwhelm prospects like D. Jones, Short and B. Williams (who can pressure the QB, stuff the run and hold a stronger point of attack). Improving his strength and technique holds no guarantees. Richardson gets swept away by mid-tier talent and that's a huge red flag. You may like him, but he's a high risk for the Panthers, especially since our run defense desperately needs an upgrade -- Sheldon doesn't offer that. What NFL Prospect did Brandon Williams overwhelm in college? How many top Prospect did Short face and overwhelm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Breaking up is hard to do. And that's true even if the person you're jilting is your hairstylist, your gardener or your dentist.
Lynn, a Berkeley resident, says that she's been wanting to break up with her stylist for more than a year, but she hasn't been able to summon the nerve. She's happy with his work, but he's too far away -- in San Francisco, where she once worked -- and can no longer afford the $150 to $250 she spends each visit, not including tip, parking, bridge toll and gas. She worries about finding someone new that she likes and adds that she's embarrassed to admit her stylist is too expensive for her.
"It's the hardest thing to do," says Lynn, who didn't give her last name to avoid the chance her stylist would read about her conundrum. "How do I explain it to him without using the old 'It's not you, it's me' line?"
When it's time to make a change in your life, why is it so hard to tell the person who cuts your hair, for example, that you need to see someone else? Sometimes, experts say, part of the problem is that we start feeling that we are friends with the stylist or the manicurist, for example, having spent hours in his or her chair discussing our jobs, families, vacations, triumphs and tribulations. When one day we're not happy there anymore, it can feel wrenching to have to tell the service provider, "I'm outta here."
In addition, few of us relish having conversations in which we're delivering bad news to others.
Anxiety about these kinds of breakups is very common, says Pleasanton resident Sue Fox, author of "Etiquette for Dummies." Like Lynn, some people will soldier on with service professionals they're not thrilled with for ages, just to avoid a potentially difficult chat. "It's tough. No one wants to hurt anyone's feelings," she says.
Fox and others say that if you're unhappy with the service you're receiving from a stylist, house cleaner, gardener or other service professional, consider talking with him or her about why you're not content before you decide to dump that person. Perhaps the two of you can resolve the issue to your satisfaction.
But even those who have made a firm decision to break up sometimes agonize about actually doing the deed.
"I'm totally stressed," emailed Andrea Rich, a Lafayette resident, a few days before she planned to break up with her yard-maintenance guy and ask him to give back her garage-door opener.
"I'm breaking up with him Saturday and I start with a new company next month. ... It's really like breaking up with a boyfriend and asking for your key back."
But it shouldn't be painful to say goodbye to a formerly valued service provider, Fox says. If you don't have the courage to speak with him or her in person, you can mail or email a note to your stylist or manicurist, she says, thanking them for their service and explaining that you need a change. You can even send a small gift if you've been close to the person.
"You're paying them, and if you're not happy with their services, let them know you want to try something new," Fox says. "It's so cliché, but honesty is the best policy."
A conversation or a note is certainly preferable to the plan of just never calling the person again, she says, or making up an excuse like an out-of-town move.
You might run into the person later, after all.
That's what happened to San Francisco resident Jenny Randall, who several years ago left her stylist of seven years, disappearing from his appointment book without explanation.
"It came back to bite me because he lives in my neighborhood. I felt really guilty," she says. When she ran into him, they chatted briefly ("Great to see you!") without acknowledging that she'd unceremoniously flown the coop.
What she wishes she'd explained when she left: "He saw me through my divorce and all the pain and agony. I think I just didn't want to revisit that chair because it brought back so many memories."
She says that she -- and probably many others -- fear the service provider they're dumping will be angry and upset.
The second time Randall broke up with a stylist, she faced that fear, and it all worked out fine. "I told him we needed to have a chat, like a boyfriend." She told him she valued his friendship and expertise, but she was moving into a new phase of her life and needed a change.
The stylist, in business for 25 years, understood her decision.
"It was the best thing ever because now we go for a drink and just hang out, and it's no big deal," she says.
Karie Bennett, a stylist for more than 30 years, and owner of Atelier Salon Spa and Atelier Studio at San Jose's Santana Row, says she and other stylists never like losing clients, but they do understand that customers sometimes need a change. At her salons, she says, she tries to let customers know that they are not locked into using a particular stylist -- she'd rather have the customer try out several stylists rather than leave the salon altogether.
When people do make the decision to leave their stylist or salon, she recommends that they write a note or email to the stylist rather than disappearing -- because stylists do wonder what happened when their clients vanish without explanation, and they might even be worried, she says.
"Just getting a note in the mail saying here is why this doesn't work for me anymore is a great thing to do," she says. "Do the courtesy of letting them know if there was something you were unhappy about. It's a chance for us to learn as well."
From time to time, she says, she has even had to break up with customers. Once it was a male client who was making sexually suggestive comments. But more often, her breakups have been with clients who are habitually late or don't show up for appointments.
In that case, she says, "It's really appropriate for us to invite a client to go elsewhere."
But just as clients can find it hard to initiate a breakup conversation, it can be stressful for stylists, too, when the shoe is on the other foot.
"You form a connection with a person in your chair," she says.

I decided sort of last minute that I wanted to post one last recipe before my weekend started - mainly because Wednesday's recipe was pushed back, and I hate the feeling of incomplete work. But also because I like you guys, and giving you recipes is something I really truly love doing!
This recipe is fairly laid back, and totally customize-able to your own taste preference. It's also a fun new way to eat an Apple! I actually had it as my lunch today (with a side of green smoothie) and was surprised at how filling it is.
This Parfait reminds me somewhat of a deconstructed Apple Pie. So if you like Apple Pie then you'll probably love this little ditty...
Apple A Day Parfait
Makes enough for 1 generous serving.
Step 1.
The Seasoned Apple
1 Medium sized Apple (I used Braeburn)
Thinly slice and chop up your Apple
Add to your Apple:
1 Tbsp Date Paste
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Wrap up your Seasoned Apple and place it in the fridge to Marinate while you make the rest of your Parfait components.
Step 2.
The Vanilla Lemon Cream
In a small mixing bowl combine the following:
1/4 to 1/3 c AtV Sour Cream
3 to 4 tsp Date Paste (depending on how sweet you want it)
1 whole Vanilla Bean pod, scraped //or// 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Whisk it all together!
From here you have 2 options with your Cream:
Option 1. Put your Cream into the fridge to chill
Option 2. Put your Cream in the Freezer for 30 minutes, mix it after the first 30 minutes, and let it sit for another 30 minutes. After 60 minutes in the freezer you will have a Frozen Yogurt-like Cream, which is pretty freaking wonderful if you ask me!
Step 3.
Parfait Topping
I used Almonds for my Topping but you can use any kind of nut you want, even Sunflower or Pumpkin Seeds would be lovely.
Chop up a handful of nuts
Ever heard of this stuff? It's pretty amazing - Tastes kind of like Sweet Malted Chocolate with a hint of Cinnamon and Vanilla.
If you don't have Mesquite Powder try using one of the following instead:
Coconut Flour
Vanilla Bean Powder
Coconut Crystals
Add to your Chopped Nuts:
1/2 tsp of one of the above mentioned ingredients
1 pinch of Salt
Mix it all together
Now it's time to Assemble Everything!
Side Note: The longer you let your Apples Marinate in the Cinnamon and Date Paste The juicier they become, creating a natural syrup that only makes this dish more incredible.
Happy, Happy, Happy Friday to you!

Are you prepared for the change in the way fixes are delivered in OpenSolaris?
With the Image Packaging System (IPS) in OpenSolaris, there is no longer the concept of a "patch" as it is known in Solaris 10 and earlier. Updates to OpenSolaris will be delivered via refreshes from the distribution repository - there will be no patch delivery vehicle for fixes in OpenSolaris.
Interim relief for critical situations, for example security issues, will still be delivered via the IDR program but once the formal fix is released, it will be obtained by refreshing your packages via IPS.
Do you create your own patches for 3rd party software?
If you "roll your own" patches using the Sun patch architecture to update 3rd party software via the
patchadd utility, then I recommend you look at transitioning to the IPS mechanism. Let me know if this applies to you, as I'm curious to know how many folks out there actually do this currently.

Sharks Sign Center Travis Oleksuk to Entry-Level Contract
Friday, 03.30.2012 / 2:10 PM PT / News
SAN JOSE, California – San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the team has signed unrestricted free agent center Travis Oleksuk to an entry-level contract. In keeping with club policy, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Travis has had an outstanding collegiate career, including a National Championship and we are excited to help him take the next step in his hockey development," said Wilson. "Head Coach Scott Sandelin and his staff at Minnesota-Duluth have done a terrific job creating a winning environment at UMD and we think Travis will benefit greatly from that experience moving forward."
Oleksuk, 23, was the second-leading scorer for the University of Minnesota-Duluth of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association with 53 points (21 goals, 32 assists) in 41 games. He was named 2011-12 All-WCHA (third team) and his 53 points ranked him tied for fourth in all of Division 1 hockey.
As a member of the 2010-11 UMD team, Oleksuk assisted on the game-winning goal that clinched the school's first National Championship. In 134 career games for UMD, he posted 115 points (45 goals, 70 assists) and scored 15 game-winning goals which tied a school record.
The six-foot, 195-pound native of Thunder Bay, Ontario played two seasons in the United States Hockey League for the Sioux City Musketeers before joining the UMD Bulldogs

Skill Level Beginner
Your camera has a big collection of image playback features. You've already seen how it displays an image immediately after you shoot. But of course you can also go in and browse all the pictures that are stored on your media card. To enter Playback mode, you just hit the Play button right here. That takes me back to the last image that I shot. I can see here that this is the image number 24 of 24, so I know exactly how many images are in this folder. I get some other data displayed here. I can see that this image is stored on CompactFlash card in this folder with the file name.
It's a raw image with these pixel dimensions. It was recorded on this date and time, using an FX lens. I can navigate the images on the card using the multicontroller: just left and right to go forward and backward or in this case backward and forward. I can also zoom out by pressing the Zoom Out button, and right next to that there's a little checkerboard indicating that pressing that takes me to a thumbnail grid. And I can actually go out quite a ways here and see a good number of images all at once on one screen.
Not only does it display these, I can navigate these, and when I pick a particular image I can then zoom into it using the Plus button. And that zooms me right back into that image and then I can navigate from there. Continuing to press the Plus button zooms me into the image, giving me a chance to try to check focus. When I'm zoomed in, this little box shows me a navigation control that I can pan around using the multicontroller. So I can look at a very specific area of the image, and when I'm done, zoom right back out to normal display.
There are other pages of metadata that you can display, but to do that, you need to activate them. And I do that here from the Playback menu, from the item Playback Display Options. You can see by default nothing is turned on. It's only showing basic playback information. I can activate these things, as many or as few of them as I want. I'm going to turn them all on, including None. This sounds confusing. Why would I activate None? I think you will see it why in a moment. I'm going to turn on all these things. When I've got them all configured, I need to hit the Done button at the top of the page to make them stick.
Now I'll go back into Playback mode. First thing is, I see now that it's showing me the focus point that the camera used when I was focusing. This is actually a pretty handy thing to have at your disposal. There are a lot of reasons that an image might be soft, that you might have had a slow shutter speed and so the image might suffer from handheld shake. You might have very shallow depth of field, so one part of the image may be out of focus. Or you may not have been paying to your Autofocus system. It may have chosen a bad focus point, or you may have accidentally bumped the focus point selector.
So being able to go in and see exactly where it focuses is a good way to diagnose problem when an image is out of focus. It's your chance to find out if you're chance to find out if you're using your Autofocus system properly, or if you merely have a slow shutter speed or something else. If I hit the up and down arrow buttons here, I cycle through those other pages. Here's that None page that I selected. It gives me just a clean view of my image. Here's a page that gives me a lot more data. I get a small thumbnail. I see the Metering mode I was using, the Shooting mode I was in, shutter speed aperture, ISO, the focal length of my lens.
I can see if I had any exposure compensation or flash exposure compensation dialed in, what my white balance is, my color space, where the image is stored, which media card. And I see a histogram. If you're not familiar with the histogram, if you don't understand why this is valuable, check out my Foundations of Photography: Exposure course. It will walk you through everything you need to know about histograms. The short of it is this histogram display gives you an extremely reliable way to assess the exposure of your image. You can't really judge exposure simply by looking at the image on the back of the screen, because the image on the back of the screen is not very accurate for a lot of things.
The camera amps up the brightness and sometimes the saturation of the image that it puts on the screen to make it more visible in bright light. So you really can't tell much about exposure from simply looking at it here. It's great to have a histogram and know how to use it. Continuing on, here is some more data, just more settings, noise reduction, active D-Lighting HDR, Vignette Control, retouching, any comments that have been tagged on the image. Still more of those similar types of things, and more, and then finally, a three-channel histogram, which is a great way of identifying color casts in an image.
And then this lets me see if any highlights in the image are overexposed. So this is flashing to indicate that overexposed highlights will be flashing in my image preview here. I don't have any; if I did, they would be flashing pixels. I can even go in and examine individual color channels for overexposed highlights, by pressing and holding the Zoom Out button and then using my left and right buttons, you can see that now the red channel is flashing, then green, then blue. What's nice about this option is if I see that only one or two channels are overexposed, then I know that I can probably recover those in my raw converter, because in a raw file, you can often recover overexposed highlights--or usually recover overexposed highlights--if only one or two channels are overexposed.
Finally, I'm back to my first display. Now those were a lot of pages of information, more than I'll normally need. So I'm going to go back into Playback Display Options and turn some other stuff off. I don't actually care about the shooting data. That's not stuff that I really am going to look at very often. I think I've killed the overview also. But I want to highlight an RGB options, and I like being able to turn all the data off once and for all. I tend to only turn on focus point when I'm confused about focus, so I'm going to turn that back of, go back to Done.
And now when I go to Playback, I have this basic screen. If I can get no metadata. And I've got my histogram displays. Notice that those options stick. Whatever screen I leave off on, that's the screen I will come back to, the view that I will come back to when I next come into Playback mode. So if you want quick access to a histogram, you can just pull that up and know that any time you go into Playback mode that's what you will have. By default, images in Playback mode stay up for 10 seconds.
If you don't do anything to the camera in that 10 seconds, then the display shuts off. You can change that, if you like. You go in here to the menu > Custom Settings > C category Timers/AE lock. You can scroll down here to Monitor off delay. You can see that for Playback mode, it defaults to 10 seconds. I can make that 4 seconds, 20 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes. I can really buy myself a lot of time to review. Now bear in mind, that's going to drain your battery faster if you lengthen this review time.
It means that if you accidentally bump the Playback button while you're walking around, the screen could come up and stay on for a long time. And when the screen is on, that's also going to cause the camera to heat up, which can cause it to cease to function after a point, if it's a very hot day. So there are many other options that you have in Playback mode, and we're going to look at those in future movies.

Data Point: Who Will Pay the Most for Your Old iPhone?
It's Apple season—that time of year when Apple releases new details on its products, usually including a new iPhone.
For those planning to upgrade to a new iPhone, that means a chance to sell your old one for either cash or gift cards. Nearly a quarter of iPhone 5S owners plan to upgrade, according to a recent survey by comScore that was charted by Statista.
Where can you get the most value for a trade-in?
While some choose to try their luck on eBay or Craigslist, there are a number of resellers from whom you can get a more consistent price. Sites like Gazelle, Next Worth and Glyde offer cash. Amazon consistently offers the highest trade-in price, however payment is in the form of a gift card. Apple itself has a trade-in program, although it offers less than other sites.
To compare the different resale options, the chart below includes the highest offered price for 16GB iPhones in good condition, with the chargers included when applicable. In general, the resale prices vary by the model, condition and reseller. Prices also vary depending on the carrier people purchase them through, so iPhone resales are sorted by carrier. Phones that are unlocked are more valuable than ones that aren't, especially on sites like Amazon.
Here's an overview of what some iPhone resellers will pay for your old iPhone:

Scotland Yard has been asked to investigate whether The Guardian newspaper has broken the Official Secrets Act by apparently distributing classified intelligence documents around the world.
Julian Smith, the Tory MP for Skipton & Ripon, has made a formal complaint about the newspaper's conduct in the Edward Snowden affair to Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
His action came as Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) said that it was broadening its review of intelligence laws to examine the "appropriate balance between privacy and security in an internet age".
Sir Malcolm Rifkind, chairman of the committee, said:
The journalist whose front-page stories for The Guardian are alleged to have put national security at risk has left the newspaper.
Glenn Greenwald, the American whose reports on Edward Snowden's intelligence leaks caused international controversy, is to lead a journalistic venture backed by Pierre Omidyar, the billionaire founder of eBay. He said that the move was a "once-in-a-career dream opportunity that no journalist could possibly decline".
The Guardian said it was disappointed that Mr Greenwald had decided to leave the paper, but "can appreciate the attraction of the new role he has been offered. We wish him all the best."
His departure will cause further unease among the British and US intelligence services. The venture will apparently have strong financial backing, and could be based outside the United States or Europe.
Intelligence officials fear he might be tempted to publish highly classified documents believed to contain details of intelligence techniques and the identities of agents. With Mr Greenwald living in Brazil, they recognise there is little they can do to mitigate his activities.
Mr Greenwald, 46, is a former Wall Street lawyer who became an outspoken commentator on national security and civil liberties.
He was instrumental in the publication of articles based on confidential material taken by Mr Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor now living in Russia. The articles revealed the alleged extent of electronic surveillance by US and British intelligence agencies, but have been criticised as playing into the hands of terrorists.
For the new venture, Mr Greenwald is said to be bringing on board Laura Poitras, a documentary maker who worked with Mr Snowden, and Jeremy Scahill, an American national security journalist. Mr Omidyar said he was willing to commit money to fund "independent, ferocious, investigative journalism".

Airline Internet Access: What's It Worth To You?
If they gave away free popcorn at movie theaters, most of the audience would surely be munching and crunching. But when they charge $7 for popcorn, a lot fewer patrons eat it.
So it is with airline food in coach. If the soggy turkey sandwich is free, they go fast. If they cost $10, most of us find other cuisine.
And will it be that way with in-flight Internet access? This week's Middle Seat looks at what airlines have learned through the testing and rollout of wireless hotspots in the sky. One test found usage declined significantly at a cost of only $1.
And so a Middle Seat test: What would you pay, readers? More specifically, what do you think the price should be for Internet access for your laptop, BlackBerry or iPhone while in flight? (Data only; voice calls are blocked, thankfully.) Tell airlines and the Wi-Fi service providers what you think a fair price is for getting email, surfing the Web or downloading video and data. And even more, would you pay it?

Definición de gerrymander en inglés:
verbo[with object] (often as noun gerrymandering)
- He said the party had impoverished its supporters and predicted that they would turn against the ruling party, no matter how the constituency boundaries were gerrymandered.
- Politicians have come to see manipulation of the vote much as they see gerrymandering boundaries of voting districts - all part of the electoral game.
- If anything, it reinforced perceptions that the board and the ANC were simply gerrymandering provincial boundaries to suit short-term political ends.
- A gerrymandered election does not make for a democracy.
- As Polsby points out, the art of the gerrymander is another instance with respect to which the constitutional order has been turned on its head.
- In a gerrymander in 1923, Unionists wrested control from Nationalists, an arrangement reinforced in the 1930s.
- Despite a gerrymander, the number of opposition seats rose from 22 to 45, mostly at the expense of the ruling party.
- Oraciones de ejemplo
- It's possible the court will find that this time the gerrymanderers in North Carolina have simply gone too far.
- A successful gerrymanderer begins by assuming that his party has a certain amount of support statewide; he then apportions that support strategically among individual districts.
- Without it, gerrymanderers armed with sophisticated technology and facing few real constraints could run wild, causing minority representation in Congress to shrink dramatically.
Early 19th century: from the name of Governor Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts + salamander, from the supposed similarity between a salamander and the shape of a new voting district on a map drawn when he was in office (1812), the creation of which was felt to favor his party: the map (with claws, wings, and fangs added), was published in the Boston Weekly Messenger, with the title The Gerry-Mander.
Half-man, half-lizard—that is a gerrymander. In political contexts gerrymandering is manipulating the boundaries of electoral districts to give an advantage to a particular party or class. The term was coined when Elbridge Gerry, governor of Massachusetts in 1812, created a new voting district that appeared to favour his party. Because the shape of this new district vaguely resembled the outline of a salamander, a map, embellished with claws, wings, and fangs, was published in the Boston Weekly Messenger, with the title The Gerry-Mander.

Abstract—A new method for the visualization of state transition systems is presented. Visual information is reduced by clustering nodes, forming a tree structure of related clusters. This structure is visualized in three dimensions with concepts from cone trees and emphasis on symmetry. A number of interactive options are provided as well, allowing the user to superimpose detail information on this tree structure. The resulting visualization enables the user to relate features in the visualization of the state transition graph to semantic concepts in the corresponding process and vice versa.

Graph visualization, transition systems, state spaces, cone trees.

Incident report reveals death threats made before a fatal shooting
ABILENE, Texas - Abilene police have released the incident report and new information regarding Wednesday's fatal shooting on Minda Lane in which a woman shot and killed her estranged ex-boyfriend after he allegedly broke in to her home and assaulted her and her child.
On Wednesday, police said 34-year-old Earnest Gonzales first tried to break into his ex-girlfriend, 35-year-old Lawanda Taylor's home on Christmas Day but fled when she called 911. They said he came back and succeeded in breaking in around 2 a.m. Wednesday and he allegedly assaulted Taylor while her 16-year-old and newborn child were present.
During the assault, police said Taylor retrieved her gun, which she legally owned, and shot Gonzales once in his side. Gonzales left the home and police found him in the front yard. He died at Hendrick Medical Center.
According to the incident report, Gonzales was making death threats before he broke into Taylor's home and he also assaulted one of Taylor's children.
"The victim [Taylor] then shot the suspect in defense of herself and her family," the incident report reads.
Police have ordered an autopsy on Gonzales's body and the case will go before a Taylor County Grand Jury for review. However, police said they do not expect any criminal charges will be filed against Taylor.

Hi All,
I am running PPP on a satellite link. And my satellite modem looses

the link goes down/UP.?
How is this normally handled.? I'm running the linux PPPD application.
