If you're only 3 days late, you may have ovulated later than you thought(as the others have said, your body tends to play tricks when ttc).
It may be that you're pg but it's too early to show on a test.(Hopefully).
There is nothing to do at the minute but wait unfortunately and test again in a few days.

TAVARES — Lake County authorities say they have a serial car burglar in custody, one who shocked himself with a Taser and put himself in handcuffs.
Shane Thomas Williams-Allen of Orlando was arrested this week on multiple burglary and grand-theft counts, and the Lake County Sheriff's Office said he may be linked to as many as nine car burglaries around Clermont and Minneola.
And one of the burglaries involved an unmarked Ocoee Police car, the Sheriff's Office said. Stolen from that car were a Taser, an expandable baton, handcuffs, a Glock handgun magazine, a digital camera and a digital recorder.
Williams-Allen, 19, discharged the stolen Taser and shocked himself when he first discovered it, the investigation found.
Last week, he accidentally locked himself up with the handcuffs and had to call authorities to set him free, according to his arrest report. Many of the other stolen items were recovered following his arrest.
Williams-Allen is held on charges that include grand theft, burglary to a conveyance and armed burglary to a conveyance. He may face additional counts, Lake officials said.
Investigators learned their suspect in the police car robbery was staying with friends in Clermont. At an apartment there, they discovered some of the stolen items but not Williams-Allen, according to an arrest affidavit.
They also learned through his friends that on Saturday Williams-Allen had "locked the handcuffs on himself and had to call the Clermont Police Department to respond to release him," the affidavit states.
After Lake authorities took Williams-Allen into custody in Casselberry, they took him to McDonald's because he said he was hungry.
"During the drive, the suspect asked if this was about the Taser incident," the arrest report states.
He later told the investigator that he went to Clermont after getting into a fight with his parents and was supposed to meet someone he knew about work. He then saw a light on in a car and entered the vehicle. Inside, he found a police gun belt and he removed the Taser, according to the report.
"The suspect stated he removed the Taser and it discharged, hitting the floor and causing his foot to get shocked," the report states. Then, Williams-Allen said he removed two handcuffs, a nightstick, two magazines and a digital camera.
He later told investigators that he probably entered four or five cars, including one from which he took cameras and an iPod with a docking station, according to the report. He said others were involved in "car hopping," which he described as going around and pulling on car door handles.

text: Posted October 23, 2009 one piece of ass, or keeping a job that you can't ever be fired from...hummmmExactly... it has nothing to do with his sexuality or if she's ugly or not. It doesn't even have to do with his email being monitored. It has everything to do with knowing how much that one night of ass will affect his entire life, and the stupidity of falling for this bait trap. Going into the Dean's office and getting fired for this not only loses him this job, but any others in the academic field. The worst part is, he can't even flat out tell her "No" from the beginning, because then she'll complain to the Dean that he was sexually harrassing her or something.

Dirty or sticky floors are the No. 1 turnoff for public restroom patrons, according to a survey of 3,130 adults by Harris Interactive.
A whopping 93% of respondents named grimy floors as a strong sign that a restroom is unclean, followed by unflushed toilets (90%), odors (89%), and overflowing trash cans (88%). Other top-ranked public restroom pet peeves include:
Paper towels or toilet paper on the floor 80 %
Lack of toilet paper 67 %
Empty soap dispensers 55 %
Water around the sink area 42 %
Old or outdated soap dispensers 29 %
Broken doors or toilet seats, dim lighting, graffiti, dirty fixtures, soiled toilet seats, and water or urine on the floors also contributed to users perceiving a restroom as unclean, according to the survey.
Female respondents were more sensitive to restroom issues than men, with 96% of women surveyed citing dirty floors as a contributor to a dirty restroom, compared to 90% of male respondents. Older people were also more likely than younger respondents to indicate cleanliness issues. For example, 94% of adults aged 55 and older indicated that odor contributed to their perception of a dirty restroom, compared to 83% of adults aged 18-34.

The Maine Warden Service is issuing a warning to anyone who might venture onto the ice, saying it is quickly becoming unstable.
Wardens remind everyone on or around ice to test the thickness using an ice chisel or ice auger and check with local bait shops for known thin-ice areas. Ice that forms over flowing water and currents, especially near streams, bridges and culverts, can be particularly dangerous.
Even last week, officials said the ice was retreating in many areas.
On Friday, the warden service responded to a call after a man went through the ice in his truck while retrieving an ice fishing shack from Hermon Pond in central Maine. The man was able to get out of the truck safely.

Ethanol Plant to Take Advantage of Waste Heat from Coal Plant
One common concern about ethanol production is the amount of energy required to produce each gallon of ethanol, often referred to as the energy balance of ethanol production. On March 14th, two companies announced an innovative approach to tip that balance further in favor of ethanol: Headwaters Incorporated has signed an agreement to build an ethanol plant next to Great River Energy's Coal Creek Station power plant near Underwood, North Dakota. The proposed facility would use the waste heat from the coal-fired power plant in place of a boiler, thus saving energy while reducing emissions from the ethanol plant. The plant will be able to produce 50 million gallons of ethanol per year, and the two companies plan to begin construction in the fall and start producing ethanol in fall 2006. The coal-heated ethanol facility is a natural fit for Headwaters, which is involved in coal combustion and the production of synthetic fuels from coal. See the press releases from Headwaters (PDF 57 KB) and Great River Energy. Download Acrobat Reader.
Another ethanol plant near Richardton, North Dakota, is taking a more direct route: the facility will burn lignite coal as its energy source. The plant's developer, Red Trail Energy LLC, claims the plant will produce 50 million gallons of ethanol per year with an energy savings of 70 percent compared to ethanol plants that use natural gas. Red Trail Energy recently raised sufficient cash to start the project and has begun site preparation for construction of the plant. See the Red Trail Energy Web site.
By the way, even existing ethanol plants produce about 67 percent more energy (embodied in the ethanol fuel) than they use in growing the corn, harvesting it, transporting it, and distilling it into ethanol, according to a September 2004 report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and DOE. See the report, "The 2001 Net Energy Balance of Corn-Ethanol" (PDF 23 KB).

"Gibbon, Nebraska" Gibbon by Rich62
Gibbon Travel Guide: 11 reviews and 42 photos
Gibbon is a little town of 1500 people that lies on Highway 30 about 15 miles east of Kearney. It also is just north of Interstate 80; take exit 285 and go north about three miles.
Gibbon's main claim to fame is that it is the home town of television personality Dick Cavett. If you never heard of him, you are young.
These are classic cars waiting to be restored by a business in Gibbon

McDowell preparing trafficking legislationTuesday 09 May 2006 22.41
The Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, has said legislation to make the trafficking of human beings illegal is being prepared by the Minister for Justice.
The issue was raised in the Dáil by Socialist Party TD Joe Higgins, who referred to last night's Prime Time programme on the subject, and said there was no law against what he called 'this despicable practice'.
Mr Ahern said that assault, sexual assault and false imprisonment were already against the law, but that the Mr McDowell was preparing legislation to bring Ireland into line with EU directives.
He also said that gardaí had already been targeting some of the gangs involved and had convicted some of them.

Virginia team withdraws from Solar Decathlon
A Virginia-based team of U.S. Solar Decathlon competitors will be in Irvine when the every-two-years competition starts soon at the Great Park, but their solar house – their reason for entering and winning a place in the competition – won't be.
Team Tidewater Virginia -- made up of students from Hampton University and Old Dominion University -- had pulled out of the competition citing the high cost of transporting their solar home entry across the country. The team announced its withdrawal on their blog on Wednesday.
It's the first time the U.S. Solar Decathlon, sponsored by the Department of Energy, has been presented anywhere but Washington, D.C. Team Tidewater Virginia also had competed in 2011.
With the competition in Irvine this year, it "therefore requires higher costs to transport the house across the country," according to the blog.
The team had raised $296,400 from Hampton University and received support from other companies and vendors, including solar panels donated by the manufacturer. But that wasn't enough to finish the house and ship it to Irvine.
A grant from Siemens is funding the team's trip despite their withdrawal.
The team assured its donors on its blog that it would still finish its entry, dubbed the Canopy House, even though it wouldn't be competing alongside the other universities in Irvine.

Should the Government Restrict Baby Name Choices?Katie Loeb
By now, at least half of the world knows that Beyonce and Jay-Z named their daughter Blue Ivy, which I would argue is a weird baby name, especially once you know where it came from. I'm sure there may be parts of the world where that's common, but the United States is not one of them. Not that we don't have more than our fair share of weird baby names in this country, but Blue is hardly a common first name.
The United States is also one country in the world where you can pretty much name your baby what you want. How about Gwenyth Paltrow's daughter Apple? Or Penn's daughter Moxie Crimefighter? You need not look one step farther than celebrity baby news to find some highly unusual names. But it turns out that our freedom to name our kids weird things is a luxury not afforded to the rest of the world.
In New Zealand there is an official government list of prohibited names, some of which include doozies like "Sex Fruit" and "Talula Does the Hula from Hawaii", which frankly, I'm kind of proud of New Zealand for making illegal. Those are just cruel and unusual punishment for a child. Can you imagine the first day of school for that kid? I always hated when they called me Kathryn the first day, I can't imagine how awkward it would be for the kid and the teacher to have to read those ones off a roster.
Conversely, in Iceland, the only names that can be used are ones that are on the National Register of Persons, unless the parents file a petition to the government to have a name added. Apparently the government takes the impact of a different name on a child very seriously.
And in Germany, all baby names must denote the sex of the child somehow. So there can be no Taylors, no Elliots, no Averys or Quinns. If you can't tell if it's a boy or a girl from the name, you can't use it.
Now, I should tell you up front that I am an absolute traditionalist when it comes to baby names. We aren't super religious, but I am drawn to a lot of biblical names because they are simple, they can be spelled and pronounced and because they won't scar my children for life. As a former teacher, I can tell you that bullies will always notice if your child has an unusual name.
But all that said, I'm unsure of how I feel about the government determining what names can and should be used. Do I often wish parents exercised a little more caution when naming their kids? Absolutely. Do I think that there should be a law about what is and isn't an appropriate baby name? Probably not.
What do you think — are these government laws about names good for children or have they gone too far?

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
In-depth with the game's controls.
Now that we've had time with the game, we've gotten a better sense of how the whole setup works -- and rather than simply offer reassurances, we'd like to offer a comprehensive look at how you'll be controlling your journey through Hyrule, button by button.
The Wii Remote Controller
The Controller
Yeah, yeah, you swing the controller to swing Link's sword. You point the Remote at the TV to aim arrows and boomerangs. Does this news freak you out? Leave you trembling in paroxysms of fear? It shouldn't. For all the proclamations of doom, for all the dread that a departure from Zelda's traditional controls would break the game, Twilight Princess' Wii functionality is shockingly intuitive, impressively precise, and gloriously playable.
For one thing, all those concerns that you'd wear out your arm waving it for the duration of a 70-hour adventure are unfounded. Swinging Link's sword requires nothing more than a quick flick of the Remote. And remember, this is Zelda, not some hack-and-slash brawler. Zelda's swordplay has always been precise and meaningful, and this is no different. Plus, traditional functions like Z-targeting are still in place. It plays just like Wind Waker or Ocarina of Time... the difference being that you have one fewer button to fumble with. Flick the controller once to draw Link's sword, and again to launch a sword attack. It's effortless.
|It may be hard to tell at first glance that we're swinging the Remote wildly here, but look at the cord -- it wouldn't be floating up there in mid-air on its own... Click the image above to check out all Twilight Princess screens.
The A Button
As buttons go, the A button is a jack-of-all trades. As usual, it serves the "contextual action" role. Open doors, push crates, leap and grasp levers, dash, roll -- if you've played a Zelda before, you should be familiar with how the A button's function changes depending on where you are, what you're near, how you're moving and what you're holding. As always, it can be a little picky about which contextual action it wants to display. But hey, that's the price for not having to deal with a dozen different buttons.
Button A offers a touch of combat functionality as well. While most sword attacks are activated by shaking the Remote, the A button is great for "killing blows" -- leaping attacks that can close the gap between Link and an enemy. Additionally, Link can add special abilities to his repertoire over the course of the game, much like the rolling strike and other techniques acquired from the old guy in Wind Waker; the A button activates these as well. The game's first extra sword technique is a finishing move; press the A button while locked on to a knocked-down foe and Link will kill it with a stabbing leap.
The B Trigger
The B trigger is located on the underside of the Wii Remote, perfectly placed for your index finger. Along with A, this trigger will represent 95% of your right-hand button presses. In this case, pulling B allows Link to use the currently-active secondary weapon or tool.
Different tools have different functions, naturally. Pulling up the Lantern simply lights it; pulling up the Slingshot drops you into first-person mode to plink bad guys with Deku Nuts. In every case, B activates the current tool or weapon while A cancels -- for the Lantern, that means snuffing the light, while for the Slingshot canceling will return to the standard point of view.
Secondary weapons can be fired by tapping the trigger -- or you can hold down the trigger, in which case Link will only fire once the trigger is released. Finally, the B-based weapons can also be used in the heat of battle without switching to first-person mode. Simply Z-target and tap B to fire.
|Zelda's D-pad -- newly rennovated and much improved since its E3 showing. Click the image above to check out all Twilight Princess screens.
Of all the elements of Zelda's interface, none has undertaken as dramatic a reinvention as the D-pad. Back at E3, the D-pad worked much like the C-buttons did in Ocarina of Time. To fire Arrows, players pressed the direction to which the Arrows were mapped while pulling back the D-pad. It was cumbersome -- but now it's not.
The D-pad now serves primarily as a queue for secondary weapons and tools. Think of it as a bullpen for the B trigger. Sub-items can only be activated with B; by assigning equipment to the left, right and down directionals of the D-pad, you're simply making those items available for convenient access. If you need to make use of a different sub-item than is currently assigned to B, simply press the proper direction to make it the active B command.
Items assigned to different D-pad directionals can also be used in combination. For instance: You can use empty bottles to scoop up insect larva. Normally, if you were to use the bottle full of larva, Link would gulp down a bug for a tiny (and pretty disgusting) health boost. But if the fishing rod is assigned to one of the D-pad buttons, using the bottle with B will bait the rod with a larva.
Finally, pressing the D-pad's up directional will initiate conversation with love-her-but-hate-her companion Midna. Depending on where you chat with Midna, she may offer helpful advice or help you reach new areas... or she may blow you off and tell you to solve your own damn puzzles. What a sweetie.

If you haven't learned by now, I am a spreadsheet tinkerer by nature. One thing I've been thinking about lately is the retirement savings one should have at different ages. A spreadsheet I'd written some time back came in handy to revisit this idea.
This snippet shows hows many year's annual income one would have saved for retirement if they save a total 15% of their income each year and get an 8% annual return. In the spreadsheet, I make the assumption that 10% is their deposit and 5% is a company 401(k) match, but either way, it's 15% of their gross income saved. Of course, one doesn't save so linearly, it's tough to get a twenty year old thinking about saving for a retirement that's decades away. Nor will the investment return be so steady. My post titled A Change of Plans offers a somber warning about what can happen when you just continue to project 'more of the same.'
Let's look at these numbers for a moment. Two things that I'd call to your attention; First, there are no dollars shown. While that might seem a bit counter intuitive, it makes perfect sense. When people discuss retirement needs, the conversation often boils down to a replacement ratio, how much of your pretax income do you need to continue in your current lifestyle? The number is up for discussion, but 80% is the common answer. With a 4% withdrawal rate at retirement a savings equal to twenty times your final year's earnings is about what you'd need to accomplish this. The second thing to note here is that the saving numbers are not linear, but exponential. At 8% return, your money will double every 9 years. So you need about half your retirement goal saved not halfway through your working career, but by about 10 years before you retire. Note also that the numbers I show take into account a rising income, for example, at 35, I show that one would have saved 3.5 of their current income. This process builds in the inflation adjustment by assuming your income will rise over time. You can see from these numbers that any rule suggesting that you have say 1/10 your age times your annual salary saved can't possibly be accurate, and will only be valid at one particular pint in time, here at age 35. At 20, it would be impossible for a new worker to have 2 years salary saved up, yet for a 60 year old, 6 years salary won't be enough to survive, not without relying on other sources of income.
Just something to think about, replacement rates will make a good topic for a future post.

"When people discuss retirement needs, the conversation often boils down to a replacement ratio, how much of your pretax income do you need to continue in your current lifestyle? The number is up for discussion, but 80% is the common answer."
I never understood this. If you are spending $100K, $200K or $300K/yr at age 64, why when you turn 65 does your need suddenly drop? Maybe it has to do with the mortgage being paid off, but maybe they are spending that amount with a paid off mortgage?
Dave Says:

Wouldn't the pertinent number be "Annual Expenses Saved"?
JOE Says:
December 15th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
I can answer how the 80% may be intuitive. Up to an income of $106,800 (in 2009) there's payroll withholding (social security) of 7.65%, add another 12% or so for retirement savings and you're right at that 80% number. Of course, I don't fully buy into this number, it's not a bad rule of thumb, but that's all it is, a starting point. I once observed that 20% of our income went to savings, 20% to the mortgage, 10% to pay for childcare, 10% to save for college. That meant that for us, the magic number might only be 40%.
Another topic worth revisiting here is that the lower your income, the higher the replacement rate provided by social security. The $80K earner does not get twice the benefit of the $40K earner.
Thank you for your comment.
JOE Says:
December 15th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Absolutely. The step from income to expenses is required for my approach anyway, so by tracking expenses, and replacing that number 100%, you're where you need to be (adjusting for post-retirement changes, of course.)
JOE Says:
December 15th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Absolutely. Whatever number you come up for expenses (in present dollars), just divide by present income. That's the ratio I'd use. Multiply by 25 (or divide by .04) and that's the target "years income" to track.
Evan Says:
December 15th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
I think we are all agreeing – the real number that should be looked at is – expenses, right?
Eddy Says:
January 12th, 2011 at 4:56 pm
Is it possible to save TOO MUCH into 401K, or IRA, where the money is not accessible. Should a 40 year old, still single save as much as you indicated in your chart?
The question is not just 'how much to save' but also how? Should all retirement savings go into retirement accounts?
JOE Says:
January 12th, 2011 at 11:20 pm
I recommend that one have enough funds outside of tax deferred accounts to handle any emergency that might arise.
Beyond that, you raise an interesting question. A 401(k) provides a level of protection from creditors, and the very difficulty in accessing it, makes one less likely to just spend it as they might spend an money just sitting in savings. IRA money is accessible, just a t a cost, the extra 10% penalty. This may be worth the price in a year of unemployment when your marginal rate is low anyway.

SIKESTON - Once Oct. 17 rolls around, it's going to be more difficult, more expensive and more time consuming for debtors to file for bankruptcy.
"They've (Congress) tightened it up a little bit, making it a little bit harder for people who have higher incomes to get a total discharge from all of their debts," said John David Moore, attorney at law with Moore Law Offices.
"It's a really drastic change from what we've done," said Rice "Pete" Burns Jr., attorney at law with Burns, Taylor, Heckemeyer and Green LLC in Sikeston. "It's a longer, more drawn out, more detailed process."
These changes are so vast, it is hard to summarize all of them, Burns said. But, one of the modifications is a requirement to attend credit counseling before and after filing for bankruptcy, in order to get a discharge from their debts.
The filing fee will also increase from the current $209 fee to $274. Counseling and the rise in the filing fee will mean an increase of at least $115 for debtors to incur. Debtors will also have to provide copies of their tax returns to the trustee and to any creditor that requests a copy, Burns said, which will also increase costs.
But that won't be the only added expense for those wishing to file for bankruptcy. The new law will also require means testing.
"We have to look at how much money they make, and figure an average income for the previous six months," Burns said. "Now, we just look at the current income, not an average."
A detailed, four-page form will replace the current two-page form, which will take more time and work for lawyers to fill out. Special software will be needed to determine average income, with both of these costs driving up the cost for a debtor to file bankruptcy.
Then if someone's average income is above the median income for the state, as determined by the Census Bureau, they must go through another series of tests, and may require the filing of a Chapter 13 payment plan, instead of a Chapter 7 case, where all the bills are discharged.
"More people who would typically qualify for a Chapter 7 will now be put in Chapter 13," Moore said. However, he and Burns don't see that affecting too many local citizens, since incomes in this area are at or below the state median average.
But increased costs and counseling sessions will affect them. And that's why Burns and Moore have both seen drastic increases in the number of bankruptcy cases they handle each month.
"They're very concerned about it - everyone considering bankruptcy should seek the advice of an attorney prior to October," Moore said. "The number of people I'm seeing and the filings has doubled.
Burns, who is also a trustee, agreed. "I usually see a minimum of 60 cases a month, and the last few months it's been 120 cases," he said.
And it will only get busier in the months to come, they predicted. All of the paperwork is filed electronically, so if debtors wait too long, they may risk not getting their paperwork filed, if hundreds of lawyers are all trying to access the electronic case filing system.
The lawyers urged anyone having financial woes to see an attorney as soon as possible. Moore also urged those contemplating divorce who are financially distressed to consult a lawyer prior to filing for divorce. "There have been some changes in the rules that can affect your ability to discharge joint debts," he said.
Since the new bankruptcy codes will require more paperwork and new software, Burns also predicted fewer lawyers covering them. "I think they (attorneys) are going to become more specialized - more so than they are today," he said. "It's not profitable to invest in the software for one or two cases a year."
The new law mainly came about after four or five years of lobbying by credit card organizations, Moore said. "They spent about 45 million dollars trying to get this law passed," he said.
He blames credit card companies for contributing to consumer debt. "I believe that most of the bankruptcies are caused by the credit cards giving too much free credit," Moore said. "In a lot of cases, they've created the problem and now they've made rules to make it more difficult to get relief from bankruptcy."
In the future, filing for bankruptcy may be more expensive, but it will still be a benefit for most people, Moore said. He urged all with excess debt or considering debt consolidation to consult a lawyer.
"People shouldn't be scared (to file)," Moore said.

Migration Alert: Pacific Flyway Hunters Looking for Strong Finish
Jan. 24. 2014 – Pacific Flyway
By Bill Monroe, WF360 Pacific Flyway Migration Editor
Pacific Flyway
hunters will face early fog, sunshine, and then clear weather conditions from border to border for the last weekend of the 2013-14 duck season.
With hopes to finish the season strong, waterfowlers throughout the flyway may want to deploy late-season tactics such as, limited calling, pairing decoys, and thorough scouting.
"You know, they might try what I did about this time last year," says Mark Petrie, director of conservation planning in DU's Vancouver, Washington office. "Head for the coast and find permanent tidal water. There are tons of pintails and other birds coming from the south (
) and they need these areas for feeding and staging."
Petrie reports there's little hope for any major movement of birds before Sunday.
"There are probably 400,000 to 500,000 ducks sitting on big water in Puget Sound right now," Petrie says. "They've become night feeders; there's no reason for them to move."
In Washington's upper Columbia Basin, conditions are also unchanged, with rafted ducks, barely freezing overnight temperatures and little or no wind in the forecast. Scouting is paramount, but by this time in the season most hunters will have their preferences. Those without access to private land should stick to riverbanks and lakeshores.
Duck season closes Friday in
and is closed in
Open water is especially the key for interior
(Walker Lake is ice-free and was recently mentioned in a DU map report along with Fallon wetlands, where more ducks have been seen recently). Small streams offer some jump-shooting.
Western Oregon hunters will still find birds on limited water in rain-free Willamette and Rogue river valleys and along the coast. Sauvie Island had a decent public hunt Tuesday and will hunt for the last time Saturday.
As Petrie explains, ducks are starting to stage and even move out of California and seem to be moving around a bit more this week in central and northern California, with public hunters still faring well, but birds reported on both sides of the Sacramento River and in the grasslands to the south.
Pacific Flyway waterfowling opportunities will continue as numerous areas and zones in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, California, Utah and Nevada have late seasons for geese, mostly for white-fronted geese and snows, but (in Oregon and southwest
) also for Canadas.
Bill Monroe is an Oregon-based freelance writer who has hunted the Pacific Flyway for three decades. Monroe will provide hunting and habitat reports throughout the Pacific Flyway for the 2013-2014 waterfowl season.

By Russell Sellers, Army Flier StaffAugust 26, 2010
FORT RUCKER, Ala. -- Youth soccer season begins Sept. 7 and parents, coaches and players began preparing Aug. 19 at the annual parents and coaches meeting at the Child, Youth and School Services Sports Complex.
Randy Tolison, Child, Youth and School Services sports director, spoke to parents and coaches about what they can expect from the upcoming season, and what is expected of them during practices and games.
"Children listen to what you say, but they remember what you do," he said. "It's great to root for your children, but don't 'ride' them."
Other points Tolison covered included rules parents and spectators are expected to follow:
* Only players and coaches are allowed on the field during practices and games.
* Cars are to be parked in the parking lot and not on the grass.
* No pets are allowed on the field.
* No smoking or drinking is allowed during practices or games.
"We want everyone to be safe and have a good time," Tolison said. "It's important that all parents and players follow the guidelines for conduct."
Parents who attended the meeting received a Parents' Code of Conduct and signed an agreement to abide by it during the season.
Jackie Johnson, CYSS program assistant, said coaches and assistant coaches are still needed for each age group. Anyone interested in becoming a coach should call 255-9105 for more information.
All coaches and assistant coaches are volunteers, Tolison added. They're not perfect and if parents have any concerns about them or other game officials, they should bring them to the CYSS sports director.
"One of our goals is to make sure every child gets a chance to play," Tolison said. "We ask that no one become confrontational with officials, coaches or other parents. If there is a problem or concern, let us know and we'll do everything we can to resolve it."
Children in the 8-10 year old and 11-14 year old groups participated in evaluations at the Youth Center soccer fields Aug. 21 to determine the level of skill new players had before being selected for a team.
Tolison said the evaluations helped make sure no one team has better players than another.
Lt. Col. Kyle Burrow brought his son, Jacob, to the event because this will be their first soccer season here. Jacob played last season at Fort Bragg, N.C., but Kyle was deployed during the previous season and was unable to see any games.
"I missed out on last season, so I want to be there for as much as I can this time," Kyle said. "I played soccer when I was younger, but I was never a great player. (Jacob) really seems to enjoy it and it's a great activity we can do together."
Tolison asked that parents practice at home with their children as a way of encouraging them and being involved with their activities.

Gender and Job Creation – Why Women Entrepreneurs Lag
Female entrepreneurs don't create as many jobs as their male counterparts, and a combination of a factors are to blame, according to a research paper released last week.
Of women-owned firms, only 36% are job-creating entities, compared with 44% of men-owned firms, reports the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, a Kansas City, Mo., research group. This is compounded by the fact there aren't many women entrepreneurs to begin with, especially "in technical and scientific fields and in business services," the report says.
As unemployment remains a top concern, Kauffman notes that the scarcity of women entrepreneurs in the U.S. – and particularly the scarcity of those who hire – is an issue. The report goes so far as to call the women's lag in building high-growth firms "a major economic deficit."
Women entrepreneurs also tend to run smaller firms. Kauffman has noted in previous studies that less than 20% of women-owned start-ups top $100,000 in annual revenue within three years of launching. Meanwhile, the same can be said for about 33% of men-owned firms. (See related story, "Why Are Women-Owned Firms Smaller Than Men-Owned Ones?")
The Kauffman report offers a few explanations, though it doesn't rest on any one as the primary culprit for these circumstances.
For starters, women tend to be the minority in technology and sciences-related fields. In recent years, women have earned 41% of bachelor degrees in physical sciences, 35% in chemical engineering, 17% in computer science and 12% in electrical engineering.
Women also have more trouble raising money, according to the report, and they tend to have fewer connections within their industry. In a study of sciences professionals, only 6.5% of women sat on science advisory boards of high-tech companies, while, for men, the figure tops 93%.
The Kauffman report also suggests that women may place more emphasis on maintaining a work-life balance, which could prevent them from assuming the demands of launching a start-up.
Women entrepreneurs, chime in: What's been your biggest hurdle in growing and hiring at your firm? What will it take for women to surpass men in this area?

WVEC-TV is the ABC affiliate for the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, which includes Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News & the surrounding area. It's licensed to Hampton, with it's main studio in downtown Norfolk. It's transmitter is located in Suffolk, Virginia. The station broadcasts on ch. 13 & is owned by the Belo Corporation.
The station began operations on September 19 1953, on UHF ch. 15 as an NBC affiliate. It was owned originally by Hampton businessman Tom Chisman along with WVEC radio (1490 AM, now WXTG & 101.3 FM, now WWDE-FM). It switched affiliation to ABC in 1957, when WAVY-TV signed on & took the NBC affiliation due to it's radio sister's long affiliation with NBC radio. On November 13 1959, it moved to it's current location on ch. 13.
In 1980, Chisman sold the station to Corinthian Broadcasting, a unit of Dun & Bradstreet. At the time of the sale, it was the last locally O&O "Big 3" station in Hampton Roads. 4 years later, Dun sold Corinthian to Belo, which owns the Dallas Morning News & WFAA-TV in it's home city.
In 1997, WVEC (along with The Virginian-Pilot & COX Communications) launched LNC4 (now LNC5), a 24-hour local NewsChannel, featuring repeats of WVEC newscasts & a 10 PM newscast. It's carried by COX Communications on ch. 5 within Hampton Roads.
On January 12 2008, WVEC started producing local newscasts in DT widescreen 16x9. Though not truly HD, the DT widescreen broadcasts match the ratio of HD TV screens.
Branding & ImageEdit
Spirit of Hampton RoadsEdit
In the late 80s, WVEC introduced it's most well-known promotional campaign, "The Spirit of Hampton Roads" - a campaign which has been customized & used by several other Belo Corporation stations (most notably the originator, WFAA-TV's "Spirit of Texas" campaign). WVEC originally dropped it in 1996 & replaced it with another slogan, "Working for You". In 1998 the slogan was changed to "Thirteen Means News," amended in 2001 as "Thirteen Means Local News" - which went along with the musical signature of their new music package "Convergence" by Stephen Arnold Music. But, "The Spirit of Hampton Roads" would finally return in 2003 on New Years Eve. WVEC started phasing out the "Spirit" image in early 2008.

News PersonalitiesEdit
In 1978 upon the resignation of news anchor Tony Burden, WVEC hired ABC News correspondent Jim Kincaid as it's main news anchor. Kincaid's signature became his "Jim's notes," short commentaries which ended the station's nightly newscasts. Compilations of these essays were published in several books authored by Kincaid, including "Notes from Elam," referring to the small town in Prince Edward County, Virginia, where he owns a farm. During the Vietnam War, Kincaid was a war correspondent for ABC. He returned to Vietnam in 1994 & reported from the same locations he had covered in the 1960s, producing an award-winning documentary & series of news stories. Kincaid retired from WVEC in 1997.
Another well known news anchor for WVEC was Terry Zahn, who was hired from WAVY-TV in 1994. Zahn was very active with the American Cancer Society & helped establish the Relay for Life in the area. He produced 2 videos about Relay for Life which were distributed nationally & served as chairman of the local Relay, which @ the time was the largest in the US. Zahn was diagnosed with bone cancer in 1997 & died in January of 2000. Each year, the American Cancer Society presents the Terry Zahn Award to a supporter of the Relay for Life.
Barbara Ciara was the 5 & 11 PM co-anchor from 1988 until 2000 when she left for cross-town WTKR.
On March 7 2003, former investigative reporter, Craig Civale & former general assignment reporter, Michelle Louie were engaged during a live segment of "Joe's Job" on 13 News Daybreak. Michelle was filling in for fellow reporter, Joe Flanagan, where she was to visit a jewelry shop. During a live shot, out pops Craig Civale with ring in hand, where he proposes to Michelle. They both @ the time, had been dating for 5 years. They were married in September 2004.

Software system development processes are often misaligned with the challenges faced by development teams. This article proposed a Practitioner's Cycle development approach, which suggests one way of bringing artisanship back into the procurement process. Through incremental, continual interaction with stakeholders, this approach lets developers begin system design and development with cognitive task analysis to understand the current work and then continue investigating the envisioned world as new technologies and work methods are created and tested.

Former pro football player fails to end-run IRS
The Tax Court yesterday affirmed a $4.75 million tax deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against former NFL player Bill Romanowski and his wife for deductions related to horse-breeding expenses.
The full opinion is here. Romanowski, a linebacker, had a 16-year career in the NFL, playing for the San Francisco 49ers, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Denver Broncos, and the Oakland Raiders. He played in several Super Bowl games.
According to the opinion, the Romanowskis invested about $13 million in programs sponsored by ClassicStar, a horse-breeding business, despite the objections of their long-time financial adviser who worried that it was a tax-motivated scheme. Instead they relied on Rodney Atherton, an attorney with Greenberg Traurig, for tax advice concerning the investment, although he also advised the sponsors as well.
The Tax Court judge, however, denied an IRS claim that the Romanowskis owed an additional $950,000 in accuracy-related penalties because they relied in good faith on Atherton's advice.
Also yesterday, the Tax Court upheld a $2.4 million tax deficiency plus more than $480,000 in accuracy-related penalties for another couple who invested in horse-breeding programs with ClassicStar.
The IRS has a long history of challenging deductions related to investments in horses and horse breeding.

Philadelphia Launches Anti-Corruption iPhone App
Philadelphia is using 21st century technology to fight corruption.
City Controller Alan Butkovitz launched an iPhone app that allows citizens to upload and send audio, photos and video to the city's Fraud Unit, so it can investigate. The free Philly Watchdog app allows for anonymous tips, has a geolocation feature that provides the location of the incident and a one-touch button to call the unit directly.
"When it comes to reporting fraud and waste in Philadelphia, I'm proud to say that 'we now have an app for that,'" Butkovitz said last week at a press conference announcing the app.
The app is available only for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, and a Fast Company blog post about Philly Watchdog said the city did not announce plans to release Android- or BlackBerry-compatible versions.
Butkovitz admitted there was a potential for abuse by citizens seeking to bash municipal workers, but said that was a charge that could be leveled against any new technology.
There was some union opposition to the app. Catthy Scott, president of District Council 47 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, called it "overkill" in an interview with Government Technology.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent today introduced a measure to revoke the citizenship of anyone who travels overseas to join Islamic State militants or other foreign terrorist groups.
At least 250 Americans have traveled or attempted to travel to the Middle East to train with a foreign terrorist organization, the Lehigh Valley Republican said.
Dent had introduced a similar bill in 2010, targeted at radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and later broadened the bill to cover all U.S.-born terrorists
"An individual could make no clearer statement that they have voluntarily repudiated their American citizenship than by traveling overseas to join ISIS or any other...

Net Neutrality Debate in Europe Is 'Over'
Is throwing net neutrality under the bus the price of a modern European telecom network? While the debate over a free and open Internet has raged in the U.S., it appears in Europe that the argument is largely over; net neutrality lost. What we are now arguing about is where to draw the line, not should we draw one at all.
The debate spans a spectrum that on the one end says all bits are created equal and free and should be treated thus, through the mid-point that says telcos should be able to manage services on their own networks (prioritizing some kinds of packets over others) and offer so-called tiered services (the more you pay, the better the service), right over to the view espoused by Hannes Ametsreiter of Telekom Austria, that it is my network so I say what happens on it.
In the U.S., this has assumed the role of a debate over free speech. In Europe, it has been rather more prosaic.
The problem we have, plead the highly profitable European telcos, is we have little opportunity for growth within Europe. Without growth how can we pay for the modern European networks, be they fourth-generation LTE mobile networks, or high-speed fiber? The drive to mobile computing and a cloud-based infrastructure requires high-capacity networks, something lacking in a lot of Europe, and, plead the telcos, the ever-increasing data demands on our networks is outstripping our ability to cope. Without the networks, Europe will be left behind.
They are right about growth. For example, Spain's Telefonica, which reported Friday a €10.2 billion profit for 2010, had significant growth in Latin American markets, but not in Europe, a position shared by its European peers, many of which also reported full-year earnings last week. France Telecom on Thursday said tough competition in its domestic market was weighing on margins, while Telecom Italia relied on a strong performance in Brazil to offset continued weakness in its Italian business.
It appears their seeds of complaint have landed on fertile ground in Brussels if the public statements of Neelie Kroes, the commissioner for the digital agenda are anything to go by.
At her confirmation hearing in January 2010 she said Internet providers, "shouldn't be allowed to limit the access to service or content out of commercial motivation, but only in cases of security issues and spamming."
By April, speaking at the ARCEP Conference in Paris, her categorical had become a rhetorical:
"Should Internet providers be allowed to prioritize one kind of internet usage over another? (for instance delaying peer-to-peer applications). And should they be able to charge for that?"
Some seven months later speaking at a summit on "The Open Internet and Net Neutrality in Europe," her position had shifted even further. Blocking and "throttling" of sites and applications continues to a certain extent, she said:
"This clearly creates a problem if consumers are not duly informed and do not have the possibility to easily switch to alternative providers…I say to those people who are currently cut off from Skype: vote with your feet and leave your mobile provider."
A spokesman for Ms. Kroes said the commissioner's position now was that a competitive market should be able to deliver an Internet to which everyone has access: "She is confident that a competitive market should be able to deliver that, within the framework of the guarantees put in place by last year's Telecoms Package. At the same time, the development of the market, including any commercial arrangements, should be followed closely so that regulatory or other interventions can be initiated if necessary."
Frederic Huet, managing director of Greenwich Consulting, said that the center of the debate has shifted in Europe. The starting point of the debate over mobile was now managing services and tiered rates: "The debate between net neutrality and tiered access is obviously that tiered access is going to slightly impact pure net neutrality. But at the same time you have to recognize that some content is harder to transport than others.
"Services like streaming video are incredibly hungry on bandwidth. At the same time email and messaging, which are much lighter and also generate revenues, can't be accessed because of the streaming. So they will have to find a way on the network to deal with this," he said.
But is there something of a canard going on here? Have we sold our principles rather cheaply? Hannes Wittig, head of European Telecom Research at J.P. Morgan dismisses the LTE argument. "It is somewhat misleading to say that there is not enough money to fund the LTE network. When you talk about fiber, that maybe a discussion worth having, but LTE is not that expensive. Based on our work with the industry, we believe European LTE networks can be deployed without needing to substantially increase spending."
According to Mr. Wittig, the net neutrality debate is over in Europe simply because the market is working without the need for regulation. "The regulators in Europe have said leave it to the market; if you feel the market is not working, then intervene. I don't think any regulator will ever give the industry permission explicitly to discriminate between content, but if mobile operators charge more for premium services and make it transparent then that is their prerogative."
Some telcos have suggested that they may try and charge content providers fees to be carried on their networks. Mr. Wittig is skeptical. "The reality is, let's say a mobile operator started to charge for YouTube on mobile, somebody else will provide it free.
"If they want to make more money from Google, they might try it. But they will find it difficult to outsmart Google. European mobile network operators over the last 15 years have over estimated their gatekeeper role."
So if the debate has essentially been won, then why are the telcos continuing to fight so hard?
"In every instance in the past, the regulators have been able to shift their stance very quickly. Whatever assurances they are getting right now…no one will be completely certain that these guarantees will reflect reality."

Former Soldier Charged With Stealing $250,000 In BenefitsA former Idaho National Guard soldier who is also an official in the Washington city of Snoqualmie has been indicted on charges that he lied his way to a Purple Heart and more than $250,000 in government benefits.
WWII Vet Receives 7 Medals 68 Years After BattleIt took nearly seven decades, but the Army finally recognized Arthur Owens for his bravery during World War II. More than 68 years after Owens saved two injured soldiers from a tank under heavy fire, he was awarded seven medals including the Silver Star and Purple Heart on Sept. 19 at the National Guard Armory on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
