NEW YORK — Donovan George has continually watched last weekend's 10th-round knockout by Orlando Salido over Juan Manuel Lopez with the idea of emulating its ferocious action against Edwin Rodriguez in their HBO-televised super middleweight clash at Madison Square Garden on Saturday.
With George (22-1-1, 19 knockouts) being nicknamed "The Bomb" and boxer-puncher Rodriguez (20-0, 14 KOs), of Worcester, Mass., as "La Bomba," few expect either of the fighters to take a backward step.
George will pursue his third straight knockout since being dropped and battered en route to a technical decision loss to Francisco Sierra in 2010 when he meets Rodriguez on the undercard of a main event featuring RING middleweight champion Sergio Martinez against Matthew Macklin. Born of a Greek father and an Irish mother, George was 20-0, with 17 knockouts before losing to Sierra.
George rebounded from the loss to Sierra with a first-round stoppage of previously unbeaten Cornelius White, who came in with a mark of 16-0 and 15 knockouts, last February. In his last fight, George scored an eighth-round stoppage over Maxell Taylor, who was stopped for the first time on the way to his second loss in 18 fights.
"When you're talking about Donovan, you're talking about the 1950s style of fighters. You come from the neighborhood, and you make good, and you make it big, and you fight for your life," said George's manager, Mike Michael. "This is what this guys is about, and I don't think that Edwin has that kind of drive inside of him."
And as he attempts to keep his streak going, George expressed a certain pride in the fact that the bout takes place on St. Patrick's Day, meaning that the crowd could be made up of partisan Irish fans.
George shared his thoughts on the fight in this Q&A with RingTV.com.
RingTV.com: Can you talk about your heritage?
Donovan George: My mother's 100 percent Irish, her parents were both born in Ireland. We were brought up, like, really Irish. But as I got older and turned 18, I was able to choose my own religion and I actually converted to become Greek orthodox.
I just felt that that was more appropriate for me. Now I go to Greek church. So I got the best of both worlds. I went to a Catholic school, and after 18 years, I decided to become Greek orthdox. I became orthodox to get married to my orthodox fiance.
RingTV.com: What does the phrase, 'Get your Irish up?' mean to you?
I don't want to get hit with every punch, but I know that I'm going to get hit. I'm going to bleed. This is my style, and I come to fight.
RingTV.com: Can your fight rival the Salido-Lopez fight?
When Diego Corrales came back and knocked out Jose Luis Castillo, I got goose bumps. I've watched that a million times, but I want to be a part of something like that.
I know that it's going to take a toll on my body. But I'm willing to do that for my fans and to go down in history as one of those types of great fighters.
RingTV.com: Did you watch the Salido-Lopez fight?
DG: Yeah. About five times. I DVR'd it. Every time I watch it, I've pictured myself in that situation. But that Salido is a tough dude, man.
I'm like, man, "I hope my fight turns out like this." Of course, every fighter thrives on being in one of those fights that people talk about. It was a good fight.

Masser v Jag
Will the masser be as reliable as the jag. Remember that the jag is trying to aspirer to German standards and the Masser is Italian.
Jump to navigation
The new Maserati Quattroporte is big news for the Italian marque. The car is kick-starting the firm's ambitions to increase sales ten-fold, so the stakes have never been higher. Steve Sutcliffe pitches it against our favourite luxury car, the Jaguar XJ to see which is best.
Will the masser be as reliable as the jag. Remember that the jag is trying to aspirer to German standards and the Masser is Italian.
Old Driver
I'd take the Maserati, but not in that colour or with those hideous alloys. There must be alternative wheels that are slightly easier on the eye.
The Jaguar might be better in some ways but it is simply too ugly.
not the best of standards to aspire to
they came, they saw, they lolled
Having had a quattroporte for two years and a GTS for a year I am proud to say that nothing went wrong or needed replacing, just a service.
As good as my Lexus!
Total Jag sales in the USA in 2012 12,011
Total maserati sales USA 2,730
In comparison,Total Audi sales 139,310
Loopy, your point that Audi sell more cars in the US then Jaguar is so obvious, there was really no reason in stating that fact as far as I'm concerned. Jaguar have a three model range (which will go up to five with the Sportbrake & F-type soon to be introduced) How many cars have Audi got? As a company, Jaguar are almost a cottage firm in comparison to the sheer size and weight of the German marques. You may as well say that Sainsbury's sell more groceries then your local franchise corner shops
Total Jag sales in the USA in 2012 12,011
Total maserati sales USA 2,730
In comparison,Total Audi sales 139,310
as sales figures are clearly a mark of superiority, could you remind everyone what the best-selling vehicles are in that bastion of good taste, the US of A?
It's a cheap pick-up truck and a sodding Camry, isn't it.
What's happened to the engine noise!!!!!, I'm running the Quattroporte 4.7 GTS for the past 3yrs now and one of the main reasons for my choice was for the beautiful intoxicating Ferrari engine sound, Turbo charging this latest model seems to have muted the engine noise, I've been waiting for this review before deciding to place my order, I now know that I will replace my 3yr old GTS with another with the same model before its to late, if not already, and give it 3 years for Maserati to sort it out, just like they did with the first models gearbox.
"You can't get a bigger, more luxurious four-door car...""
Uh? I can think of at least two or three.
And it's the "fastest four-door production car in the world."
Apart from the obvious British one that's even faster of course...
This chap doesn't seem to know much about cars. Give me his job!
"...compare it against the best in class."
Good idea. How does it compare with the Lexus 600h, then? No? How about the Audi A8? Ok, what about the S-Class?
Only in Autocar fantasy-land is the Jag even close to best in class. Just what is going on over there???

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
by Stephen Chbosky
Coming of Age Quotes in The Perks of Being a Wallflower
How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I had never been to a party before. (1.10.9)
This is an important first in any kid's life. We just wish all of Charlie's firsts were this tame.
Quote #2
I think it was the first time in my life I ever felt like I looked "good." (2.10.13)
For a book that focuses on what's inside a teenage boy's head, appearances aren't all that central. What other moments in the book talk about the way someone looks? What's special about these moments?
Quote #3
She kissed me. It was the kind of kiss that I could never tell my friends about out loud. It was the kind of kiss that made me know that I was never so happy in my whole life. (2.10.43)
It was the kind of kiss that only happens in books or movies, the kind of kiss that only happens in slow motion in the rain with Zac Efron. Wait, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, Perks. The fact that Charlie is able to have this intimate moment gives us hope that he'll recover from his traumatic past experiences.

Reading List: Inequality and Economic Mobility
- RSF Report: Does America Promote Mobility As Well As Other Nations?
- RSF Author: Miles Corak

Earlier this month, economist (and former RSF trustee) Alan Krueger sparked an extended debate online after discussing the relationship between inequality and economic mobility in a speech at the Center for American Progress.
The Russell Sage Foundation has sponsored a number of studies on social mobility and will publish an edited volume this spring that compares whether and how parents' resources transmit advantage to their children at different stages of development and sheds light on the structural differences among countries that may influence intergenerational mobility.

I found my frittata recipe on www.foodtv.com. The Internet is one of my favorite places to find recipes (second to magazines). It's nice how quickly you can simply enter a search term and have an answer to your problem. I love the Spinach/Mushroom/Gouda frittata we usually make but it's 2010 and it's time to mix things up. We swapped that out for an Asparagus, Canadian Bacon and Parmesan option tonight and we really liked it — I actually made two of them because we had my sister and my girlfriend over for dinner (The Biggest Loser kicked off a new sesaon tonight and we had a small viewing party). So, I did well with one resolution (try new things) and not so well with another (watch less TV) but that is okay with me. I am heading out of Boston early tomorrow to drop the dogs off on the Cape then I'll be heading right back to continue getting ready. We are hitting the road at some point Thursday afternoon so I want to be ready to go that morning. Maybe having the dog out of the mix will mean I get a few more things done.
This afternoon I made a nonfat latte for a little pick-me-up and we snacked on some edamame before dinner.

UA men get Player of Week, Team of Week
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 12:19 a.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The second-ranked University of Alabama men's golf team was chosen Golfweek's Team of the Week and Justin Thomas was selected Player of the Week following the Schenkel Invitational last weekend.
The Crimson Tide posted a 10-shot victory over fourth-ranked Texas with a 16-under-par 848. UA shot rounds of 282, 281 and 285 for the team's third victory of the season.
Alabama has won two of three events this spring, with a runner-up finish at the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters. The Crimson Tide also won the Puerto Rico Classic.
Thomas shot a 9-under 207 for a three-shot win over Texas' Brandon Stone. Thomas opened with a 67 and followed it up with two 2-under rounds of 70
It was Thomas' sixth career tournament victory, which moved him past former Crimson Tide great and PGA professional Steve Lowery for the most wins in Alabama golf history. It took Lowery 44 events to set the record of five and Thomas only 20 events to win his sixth. Thomas leads the team with a 70.83 scoring average and is cumulative 13-under-par for the season.
Alabama plays this weekend at the Linger Longer Invitational in Greensboro, Ga.

Added a comment about video Tailwhip to handplant - Christian Higgs 1/7/2014 10:11 AM

Added a product review for MacNeil Loden V2 Frame 7/22/2013 4:51 AM
The Good: This frame is the Bees knees if you want a low twitchy frame. You can fling this thing around any which way and it'll conform, I really recomend it for any rider who enjoys whips spins and tech.
The Bad: it's low so if you're coming from a bike with a big stand over you'll probably get some over rotation on whips and spins to start with but then again minimal effort is needed when you actually get used to it.
Overall: Very good frame has held up for me for about a year now and I do tend to go through parts, whips and spins are just nothing with this frame, if you want an idea of how low it is then with the seat slammed the back tyre will be higher than the seat, it'll take a bit of getting used to if you have come from a more "conventional" framegeometry but i highly recommend for any park orientated rider.

AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- It started in January when a man came into Jenny Johnson's store with a retired K-9 dog.
This was a sign for the sister of slain Aiken Public safety officer Sandy Rogers. It was a sign that her sister wanted her to help make her legacy live on in Aiken Public Safety.
"It was something just hit me in the head saying this is Sandy telling me," Johnson said. "She wanted me to do something with the K-9s here in Aiken."
And that's exactly what she's done. Now taking donations, Johnson's goal is to raise $8,000, which is the normal cost to raise and train a police dog. And for public safety they had no problem with the plan
"Whether she's above watching us," said Captain David Turno with Aiken Public Safety, "Or sniffing through the nose of a dog, she's with us."

By hearing the term Graecus ritus we think of a Greek typology throughout a Roman religious praxis. The eminent, John Scheid (1995), argues that Graecus ritus may sound 'foreign' from the traditional Roman way (ritu Romano), but it is not that the case. There was no an original Roman way of religious practices, but, on the other hand Roman religious manner, intergraded neighbour religious customs. The Roman religion consisted of numerous ritus and cintus which regulate the religious mos, νόμο, τρόπο of each single religious practice.
Thus the ritu Romano was similar to the Graecus ritus – it was the same as discussed below. We can look at Ludi saeculares (c.a. 204) and Giovanni Pighi in De ludis saecularibus (1965) and the sacrifice in honour of Juno (2nd of June):
praetextis sumptis et coronis [accitis, de Palatino in Capitolium venerunt. […] Dein --- posita corona et p]raetexta, adsistentibus [[Geta Caes.]] et pr. pr. et ceteris v[v. cc., purificatus per publicos XVvirum manus --- retinens manibus]/[dextera --- et la]eva cultrum op[liq. C]otorium et pateram cum vino, retinente pr{a}ecatione[[m Geta Caes.]] immol[avit I]unoni reginae vaccam alb. Graeco Achivo rit[u hac precatione] (155 f., iv, 4ff)
In the very start of the sacrifice the Septimius Severus and the other priests wearing the toga praetexta and laurel wreaths, which is the only Greek element – Greeks when performed sacrifices were always wreathed. The immolatio – the main sacrificial act – was supposed, as stated in the Latin text, to be performed by Graeco Achiuo ritu, Ἀχαϊστί, with the Greek manner. Whoever, as Pighi presents the immolatio of the victim, it seems has nothing to do with the Greek manner of victims immolation. As Scheid states, "to sacrifice Graeco Achino ritu during a festival Graeco ritu, means that you make sacrifices which are mainly very Roman", and in minor cases the Greek προ-θυσία might be included, nothing else was non-Roman. Therefore it is extremely unsubstantiated to believe that the Roman sacra Graeco ritu was a Greek way of religious praxis (Ελληνικόν έθος).

Donald Trump rejects Lindsay for Celebrity Apprentice
But Trump turned down the opportunity - because he thinks Lohan needs more time to sort out her personal life before stepping back into the limelight. However, he also mentioned that she could appear in future series.
"(The Lohans) approached me, and we did talk about it. It's just not the right time," the Daily Express quoted him as telling Life and Style magazine. "Lindsay has to straighten herself out first... It could happen in the future, but right now we need to see Lindsay get straightened out," he added.

Herding mid-Peninsula cities into adopting a uniform San Mateo County-wide plastic ban may be easier said than done.
Some of those cities already have been working on their own ordinances, others are open to a one-size-fits-all ban and a few prefer to wait and see what kinds of plastic bags would be ostracized and which businesses affected, officials told The Daily News.
The Board of Supervisors last week sent letters to all mayors in the county suggesting they get behind a countywide ban on plastic bags used to carry out food and other goods from grocery stores, pharmacies and restaurants. Environmentalists say the bags should be outlawed because they are not biodegradable and frequently end up littering the landscape and waterways.
The board has a "desire for an ordinance that would apply consistently across as many jurisdictions in San Mateo County as possible," according to the Oct. 3 letter signed by board president Carole Groom and vice president Adrienne Tissier.
The county hopes to create a working group with interested cities to craft an ordinance, the letter states.
One city -- Millbrae -- is several steps ahead of the county. The Millbrae City Council tonight is scheduled to vote on an ordinance that would eventually ban plastic carry-out bags at stores with gross annual sales of $2 million or more and impose a minimum 10-cent charge for paper bags. Restaurants would be exempt.
Officials from Burlingame, Daly City and Half Moon Bay said their cities also are proceeding with plastic ban ordinances, but they welcome a regional approach.
"Our council unanimously voiced support for going ahead with a ban on plastic bags," Burlingame Mayor Terry Nagel wrote in an email. "I think a countywide ban is a great idea. Every time I participate in a clean-up event, I notice how many plastic bags there are polluting our coast, bayfront and waterways."
In the summer, South San Francisco asked stores with more than 5,000 square feet of retail space to voluntarily stop using plastic bags while the city does some research into a possible ban.
"I think retailers would prefer larger areas having a unified policy as opposed to a 'patchwork quilt' of policies in various jurisdictions," South San Francisco Mayor Kevin Mullin said. "I would also not want to put our retailers at a competitive disadvantage with an adjoining jurisdiction that did not have a ban. So I think a countywide effort has great merit."
East Palo Alto Mayor Carlos Romero said although the city council never talked about a ban, he would welcome a discussion. "It's not a priority. But certainly, if it came to us in some digestible form, we'd consider it."
Officials from Colma, Foster City, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Carlos and San Mateo said they are willing to consider the idea, although some are concerned about the financial impacts to local businesses.
If a ban is in the cards for San Mateo County, grocers would like to see as broad a one as possible, said Tim James, a spokesman for the California Grocers Association. If the ban applies to one type of food store but not another, or isn't applied in a neighboring city, some businesses will unfairly suffer.
"That's one of the questions the county will need to think about," James said. "The broader the application, the more environmental gain, the less competitive advantage and the greater predictability for consumers."
Missy Johnson, a spokeswoman for the California Retailers Association, agreed that "consistency" is important if a ban is to be implemented, but noted that restaurants and some retailers should be excluded.
"It's not often you see the huge Macy's bag that someone received for their coffee maker blowing down the street," Johnson said.
Before a countywide ban could be enacted in San Mateo County, an environmental study of the impacts likely would be needed. While the state Supreme Court ruled this summer that the small Southern California city of Manhattan Beach could ban plastic bags without conducting a full environmental review, larger entities shouldn't count on the same break, Deputy County Counsel Brian Wong told supervisors last month.
Groom said though it would be "ideal" if all of the county's cities sign on to a ban, half would be enough "to make an impact."
"We're committed to going forward," she said. "I'm hoping that in 30-45 days we have enough cities that we can take it to the next step."

Population: 408,786 (est.)
Language(s): Bahasa Melayu (Malay)
Capital: Bandar Seri Begawan
Interesting Facts:
- The Brunei dollar is the official currency of Brunei.
- Among religions in Brunei, Islam is predominant. 67% of the population is Islamic. However, other religions also have a considerable foothold in Brunei. 13% of the population is Buddhist and another 10% is Christian.The remaining 10% subscribe to various religions, including indigenous religions.
- Around 16th century Brunei's religious faith was completely changed to Islam. Around that time one of the biggest mosques of Brunei was built, and in 1578, a Spanish traveler, Alonso Beltrán, described the mosque being five stories high and built on the water.
- Brunei is classified as a developed country.
- Predominantly, Brunei's economy is based on oil, natural gas, and coal.
- In Brunei, alcohol sale and drinking in public is strictly prohibited.
- The 600 years old Sultanate of Brunei is the oldest Muslim dynasty in the region.
- Muda Hassanal Bolkiak is the 29th sultan as well as the head of the government.
- All the Brunei citizens are entitled to have free public health.
- One of the wealthiest people on earth, the Sultan of Brunei has a collection of more than 500 luxury cars and a palace that has more than 1500 rooms.
- The IMF also states in a 2011 estimate that Brunei was one of two countries (the other being Libya) with their public debt at 0% of the national GDP.
- Forbes also ranks Brunei as the fifth richest nation out of 182 nations due to its extensive petroleum and natural gas fields.
Brunei, is a sovereign state located on the north coast of the island of Borneo, in Southeast Asia. Apart from its coastline with the South China Sea, it is completely surrounded by the state of Sarawak, Malaysia, and it is separated into two parts by the Sarawak district of Limbang. It is the only sovereign state completely on the island of Borneo, with the remainder of the island belonging to Malaysia and Indonesia. Brunei's population was 401,890 in July 2011.
The official national history claims that Brunei can trace its beginnings to the 7th century, when it was a subject state of the Srivijayan empire under the name P'o-li. It later became a vassal state of Majapahit empire before converting to Islam in the 15th century. At the peak of its empire, the sultanate had control that extended over the coastal regions of modern-day Sarawak and Sabah, the Sulu archipelago, and the islands off the northwest tip of Borneo. The thalassocracy was visited by the remnants of the Ferdinand Magellan Expedition in 1521 after Magellan was killed some weeks earlier on 27 April of that year and fought the Castille War in 1578 against Spain. Its empire began to decline with the forced ceding of Sarawak to James Brooke and the ceding of Sabah to the British North Borneo Chartered Company. After the loss of Limbang, Brunei finally became a British protectorate in 1888, receiving a resident in 1906. In the years after the Japanese wartime occupation during World War II, it formalised a constitution and fought an armed rebellion. Brunei regained its independence from the United Kingdom on 1 January 1984. Economic growth during the 1970s and 1990s, averaging 56% from 1999 to 2008, has transformed Brunei Darussalam into a newly industrialised country.
Brunei has the second highest Human Development Index among the South East Asia nations after Singapore, and is classified as a developed country. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Brunei is ranked 5th in the world by gross domestic product per capita at purchasing power parity. The IMF also states in a 2011 estimate that Brunei was one of two countries (the other being Libya) with their public debt at 0% of the national GDP. Forbes also ranks Brunei as the fifth richest nation out of 182 nations due to its extensive petroleum and natural gas fields.

Between Preah Vihear and Anlong Veng, in the town of Trapeang Prasat, are two temple sites adjacent to the wat north of the clinic.
u a toke this picture wrong place
Actually I didn't. If you are on the road from Preah Vihear and come into the Town of Trapeang Prasat, as soon as you are at the intersection with the clinic, make a right turn an travel about 500 meters. There is a left turn that takes you into a wat. The three prasats are on the left before the wat and on the right side of the road is another ruin built with larger stones.
We actually got to the wat and I told someone there I would give them a dollar if they showed me where they were and they pointed back as I had drove right past them. Easiest dollar they ever earned!

Castillo San Felipe del Morro, a fort used during the Spanish-American war, was originally built for Spanish occupation from 1539-1898. Once Old San Juan became a part of the United States, it was then occupied by American Military until it was turned into a national park in 1961. I took this photo during the summer (2012) while on vacation in Puerto Rico. This picture captures one of the many winding staircases connecting the different levels of the fort.

What is in this article?:
- Peanut buyers see a bright future for the crop in Mississippi
- Competitive in world markets
- Follow the value chain
- "We've been losing peanut acres in Texas over the last six or seven years, particularly for runner peanuts, and we've been looking for new areas to maintain and increase our supply," says Alan Ortloff, president of the Clint Williams Company, who spoke at the annual meeting of the Mississippi Peanut Growers Association."The drought in west Texas in 2011 further emphasized to us the importance of diversifying our supply lines.
- "We like what we see in Mississippi — fertile land, ample water, and high caliber, professional farmers, who can produce high-yielding, high quality peanuts."
More About:
ZACK KILLEBREW, from left, John Byrd, and John Doty Parker, all at Greenwood, Miss., were representing the Clint Williams Company at the annual meeting of the Mississippi Peanut Growers Association.
Follow the value chain
"We like to follow the value chain, from providing seed to the grower, to transporting the peanuts, to processing them," Lutt says. "And through our research and development programs, we look at ways to transform peanuts into value-added products.
"For example, we continue to look at what can we do with skins and shells; at compounds in the peanut we can extract, or that we need to explore further; and at ways we can do a more efficient job of distribution and selling our peanuts."
Lutt says Golden focuses on four key areas of peanut value: food, feed, industrial, and fuel.
"We all know peanuts are a great nutritious, low cost protein food. But we also sell hulls and skins in the feed market, along with peanut meal, which is a high quality protein feed. In the fuel sector, we're pelletizing peanut hulls and shipping the pellets to Europe for bioenergy uses. Companies are switching from using petroleum-based construction equipment to peanut-based oils, giving them a more environmentally-friendly, 'greener' operation In the industrial area, granules produced from peanut hulls are being used in fertilizers, insecticides, and other products, and peanut oil has any number of industrial applications.
"We're continually looking for ways to expand the volume of the products we can offer, and longer term, how we can further diversity tour peanut product portfolio — all of which comes back to the R&D side."
The company has some unique products, Lutt says. "Peanut flour, for example, is a great niche product — just about any nutrition bar and many cereals use it. To make a pound of flour takes two pounds of peanuts. We also offer roasted aromatic oils, used for special flavorings to provide a distinct peanut taste. We export a lot of this. We also make a peanut extract, a flavoring that goes into cereals to provide a nice, distinct peanut flavor. And refined peanut oil is a high quality, premium oil that's healthy and has a nice long shelf life."
Birdsong Peanut Company
Mississippi's record peanut acreage last year — an estimated 49,000 acres, compared to 15,000 to 18,000 acres in the 2005-2011 period — could grow even more, says Kevin Calhoun, procurement manager Birdsong Peanut Company.
The company significantly increased its facilities at Prairie, Miss., last year and constructed a new buying point facility at Walnut Ridge, Ark., which handled over 25,000 tons of peanuts in its inaugural season.
"Longer term, I think Mississippi has potential for twice the 2012 acreage," he says.
But not in 2013, when the industry will still be working its way out from under the oversupply from last year's crop. The Southeast states of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and Arkansas could see an overall acreage decline of as much as 30 percent to 40 percent this year, Calhoun says.
Birdsong, headquartered at Suffolk, Va., operates in 10 states, has 750 employees, six peanut shelling plants, and 85 buying points.
The company had its start when the founder of Planters Peanuts, who started out selling peanuts on the sidewalks in Virginia, needed to increase his supply of peanuts. He worked out a deal with the Birdsongs to contract with growers for their peanuts.
"That was in 1914, and we give Planters a lot of the credit for our company," Calhoun says.
Birdsong initially began buying peanuts from producers in south Mississippi, then branched out into the Delta, and later began working with growers in east Mississippi who wanted another cash crop for diversification.
"At that time, we were transporting peanuts 200 miles to south Alabama, so we established the buying point at Prairie, and we've seen a steady growth in that area. We handled a tremendous volume of peanuts there from the 2012 crop."

|Spin Polarized Inverse Photoemission Studies of Surface Magnetism and Electron Structure
|January 01, 1986
|Spin polarized inverse photoelectron spectroscopy (SPIPES) is shown to be a powerful new technique to study surface and near-surface electronic structure and magnetism. The process, the information obtained, and the apparatus required in a spin polarized inverse photoemission measurement are compared to the complementary spin polarized photoemission measurement. In SPIPES spectra of a clean Ni(110) surface, transitions to the minority spin 3d holes that give rise to the ferromagnetism in Ni can be directly observed, as can sp states which are spin slit as an indirect consequence (via s-d hybridization) of the exchange splitting of the d bands. The adsorption of oxygen or carbon monoxide on Ni(110) causes a dramatic decrease in the number of minority 3d holes, that is, in the magnetic moment of the Ni atoms. The data allow us to severely limit the possible models of how chemisorption induces changes in surface magnetism. Other SPIPES studies, such as the temperature dependent behavior of empty bands in ferromagnetic Fe, and future directions and applications of SPIPES will be reviewed.

In May of 2006, I was injured while strapping a load on a flatbed trailer. My bicep tendon was torn. I was out of work for two weeks for surgery. When I filed my claim, the policy stated that my particular injury would pay $400. I submitted the claims forms including the necessary signatures from the attending physicians and did so well within the time frame stipulated.
I received a letter from them stating that in my policy excluded injuries if the covered individual "driving any taxi or intrastate or interstate long-distance vehicle for wage, compensation or profit."
First off, my injury wasn't sustained while I was driving anywhere. Second, any person in the shipping department doing the exact same thing, according to the policy, would have been covered.
Finally, I feel it was completely misleading for this insurance company's representatives to come offer their product to a group of truck drivers knowing full well that the majority of any claims filed would automatically be denied based on our occupation. They never mentioned this clause at any time during their sales process. To me, that's not operating in good faith. They were more than happy to collect my premiums for the last 2 1/2 years without ever saying word one about this particular exclusion for those in my vocation.

OAKLAND -- Sometimes a job loss has a silver lining.
After Tamera Duckett, owner of Kostüm on Piedmont Avenue, was laid off as West Coast regional recruiter for bebe women's clothing in 1999, she began to carve a new career path that eventually led to opening her own store.
"It truly was one of the best things that ever happened to me," said Duckett, who has 20 years of experience in the fashion industry.
Duckett branched out on her own for the first time, launching LuxBath.com. The website for luxury bath and beauty products flourished for six years until health problems forced Duckett to quit.
"It was a good time to reflect on what I wanted to do with my life," said Duckett, who holds a degree in political science and international relations from UC Berkeley.
However, with health issues looming and no health insurance, Duckett temporarily returned to the corporate world, taking a job with a recruiting agency in downtown Oakland. A year later, Duckett and her German-born husband, Robert Spreitzenbarth -- a fashion photographer -- made a decision to follow their dream of opening their own apparel store. They considered a space on College Avenue but weren't sure if they'd do better on Piedmont Avenue. In a fortuitous move, Duckett asked the advice of the former owner of Kostüm.
"She said we'd do well anywhere; then she asked if I'd like to partner with her at Kostüm -- which was then called Sophisticated Lady," said Duckett, who honed her fashion and marketing skills at I. Magnin and Bloomingdale's. "When I told her I really wanted to do my own thing, she offered to sell me the store.
"My mother said, 'It's the opportunity of a lifetime; you need to do it.' "
Nearly five years later, business is booming at Kostüm, which sells in-season designer, contemporary and vintage clothing in sizes 0 through 24 and accessories such as shoes (size 5 through 13), hats, handbags and jewelry.
Duckett kept all the original staff when she took over the store and now has six employees, including assistant manager Rika Votichenko.
"She's a consignment pro with a fantastic eye for merchandise," Duckett said of Votichenko.
Duckett said customers tell her Kostüm looks just like a regular chic boutique.
"My goal was to make it like a designer boutique with quality merchandise at affordable prices," Duckett said.
Votichenko said the store draws a broad spectrum of customers.
"We have girls who are 14 who find things they like as well as customers in their 70s and 80s," Votichenko said.
Crocker Highlands resident Orit Vogel was browsing through some colorful tops at the store recently.
"I'm not looking for anything in particular, but I always manage to find something," said Vogel, who is a regular customer. "I've found some of my best fancy dresses in this store that I've worn to weddings and galas. I've also done well with jewelry and skirts."
Vogel said she found great rhinestone and enamel jewelry pieces and a calf-length leather fuchsia skirt that she treasures.
"It's a great store, everything's easy to see -- it's well curated," Vogel said.
Duckett is more than happy with her decision to set up shop on Piedmont Avenue.
"It's the best thing -- I live just eight minutes from here," she said. "I love my neighbors and have great relationships with other merchants on the street."
Duckett is a member of the Piedmont Avenue Merchants Association and always participates in the Piedmont Avenue Stroll on the third Thursday of each month when stores stay open until 9 p.m. and offer refreshments, discounts and giveaways.
"Stroll night is getting busier and busier as more stores participate," Duckett said.
She's looking forward to the September stroll, as she will be fresh from a New York buying trip and will preview some of the latest fall fashions. Duckett said it's a great feeling to sell consignment clothing.
"It's the best feeling ever when people bring us clothes that are still in good shape, instead of just tossing them," Duckett said. "If you're not enjoying them, let somebody else use them -- and make a little money."
What: Kostüm, a women's clothing and accessory consignment shop
Where: 4020 Piedmont Ave., Oakland, 510-654-1718
Hours: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday; noon to 6 p.m. Sunday

201 Joe Nuxhall Way, Fairfield, OH 45014
Tom says: "There is a such thing as a perfect cable park and it goes by the name of Wake Nation. This cable has some of the best pop in the world, along with some of the most butter water. Located right in the middle of a city park, Wake Nation is a cable that is what all cables should be."
Pete says: "Our goal was to create the ultimate cable park. With the U.S.'s only six-tower system, a 3000-square foot observation deck, some of the country's best kickers and sliders, and a Pro Shop filled with the best Liquid Force gear around, I think we're pretty close to our goal, but we're always working on new ways to make the park bigger and better."

On Virginia's beautiful Eastern Shore, explored by Capt. John Smith in 1608, Kiptopeke offers recreational access to the Chesapeake Bay. It's also a great place to explore unique migratory bird habitat along the Atlantic flyway. The park has six-bedroom lodges, RV and tent camping, a yurt (part cabin-part tent), camping trailers and a bunkhouse. Guests also enjoy the park's boat ramp, lighted fishing pier, picnic areas, 5.1 miles of hiking and biking trails, playground, beach bathhouse and swimming beach. Seasonal interpretive and educational programs focus on natural history, birding and bay ecology.
Please don't bring any firewood into the park. Firewood can harbor destructive, invasive species.
Day use and overnight guest visitation, 6 a.m. - 10 p.m. Pier open 24 hours a day April 1 - Dec. 31.
Located on Virginia's Eastern Shore, this park offers recreational access to the Chesapeake Bay and the chance to explore a unique coastal habitat featuring a major flyway for migratory birds.

Yurt guests
Recreational yurts are a modern adaptation of an ancient nomadic shelter. Functionally speaking, it's a cross between a tent and a cabin. The Kiptopeke yurt, the only of its kind in Virginia's park system, has a spectacular view of the Chesapeake Bay with a large wooden deck, picnic table, fire ring with cooking grate, an exterior floodlight, food preparation table and a water spigot.

There's a two-night minimum rental during rest of camping season.
Camping Lodge (bunkhouse) Two-night minimum stay during peak season; no full-week requirement. The three-room trailer has seven bunk beds, a large front deck, picnic tables, a water spigot and a fire-ring with a cooking grate. Cooking and smoking are not permitted inside the camping lodge (bunkhouse). Parking for five vehicles is covered; all other vehicles must pay the park's daily parking fee and park in the overflow area. This lodge is available only from the last Friday in March to the first Monday in December. This facility is not sold 11 months in advance. It goes online in January each year.

Total campsites: 143
The park has more than 5 miles of hiking and bicycle trails. Explore upland hardwood forest along Baywoods Trail and look for tracks of foxes, deer and many birds. The southern beach also is perfect for a hike. The upland Baywoods Trail and southern beach are connected by extensive boardwalks so that visitors may explore Kiptopeke's dune formation. Bicycle trails are available along the park's entrance road and the Raptor, Songbird, Chickadee and Mockingbird trails. Bikes may be rented at the camp store.
There are two unguarded beaches on the Chesapeake Bay. Swimmers using the areas do so at their own risk. Kiptopeke's northern swim beach is nearly half a mile long and open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Pets, fishing, jet skis, canoes, kayaks and other boats are not allowed there. There is no additional charge for using the beaches, but swimming cannot be guaranteed should circumstances beyond the park's control require prohibiting it. The south beach is open to swimming, fishing, crabbing, boating and pets kept on a leash no longer than 6 feet.
Fishing: The concrete ships located off the park's waterfront offer some of Virginia's finest fishing. For the land-lover, a large fishing pier with picnic tables and lights to attract fish is available. No fishing license is required from the pier, but a valid Virginia saltwater fishing license is required for fishing from the shore. Those pier fishing who are over 16 and do not have a Virginia saltwater fishing license must, however, register for the free Virginia Fisherman Indentification Program. Pier fees apply (adults, $3/day; children, $1/day). The south beach is great for beachcombing and surf fishing, but a Virginia saltwater fishing license or Maryland license with a valid Virginia FIP number is required. Launch: Motorboats are allowed. The ramp has 4.5-foot mean low water. Parking limited to 70 boat trailers. Because parking is limited, campers who wish to park their trailer at the boat launch area must pay $3. There's no charge for boat launching for camping guests who park trailers at their campsite. Kayaks must be launched from only the south beach or the park's designated kayak launch, not from the boat ramp or north swim beach. Solo kayaks, tandem kayaks and paddleboards may be rented at the camp store. Click here for park fees. Purchase an annual boat launch passport by calling 1-800-933-PARK.
The south beach is open to swimming, pets, fishing, crabbing and boating. A valid Virginia or Maryland saltwater license is required and anglers must register with Virginia Department of Marine Resources' Fisherman Identification Program.

A third party, Wireless Network Access, offers Wi-Fi for a fee at the park. Here are prices and details.
The site was purchased by the Virginia Ferry Corporation for the northern terminus of the Norfolk to Eastern Shore Ferry. In 1949, when the terminus was moved from Cape Charles, the site was named Kiptopeke Beach in honor of the younger brother of a king of the Accawmack Indians who had befriended early settlers to the area. Kiptopeke means Big Water. In 1950 the terminus opened after the completion of a $2.75 million pier, promoted as the world's largest and most modern ferry pier. Ferry service ended in 1964 when the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel was opened. In May 1992 the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation bought 375 acres from John Maddox, who had operated the property as Kiptopeke Beach Family Resort. The park opened on Memorial Day weekend in 1992. In 1999, an adjacent 160 acres was purchased on the south end of the park. Then one acre next to the park's contact station was bought in 2000. In 2009 another 26 acres were bought, bringing the park's total acreage to 562 acres. A total of 126 acres has been reforested in the park.
A group is being formed. Contact the park for details.
Master plans must be written for parks before they're built. The plans are updated at least once every 10 years thereafter. The plans cover the size, types, infrastructure and locations of facilities as well as the site's special features and resources. Three public meetings are held during the initial development of each plan. Click here for this park's master plan.
Virginia State Parks are great places to discover and reconnect with the wild world. Bring a camera and share your captures with the world. But please don't disturb or get too close to the animals. The park is, after all, their home. Here are a few recent natural encounters others have had at Kiptopeke State Park.

"Right now they are catching a few striped bass on the pier," said Andy Pappas, Pacifica's longtime-celebrated fisherman with the year-round moniker of "Crab King." "They're not too big, about 5 or 6 pounds, but they are coming in regularly. They are catching them mostly using the sand crabs they dig up on the beach."
"Crab fishing is day to day," Pappas continued. "Some days they are there, some days not. But when they are there, everyone is as happy as a Jay Bird."
A native San Franciscan and a 48-year resident of Pacifica, Pappas said this town has made him a happy fisherman since day one. Besides catching "heaps" of Dungeness crab and red crabs over the decades, Pappas has additionally reeled in striped bass, kingfish, shiners, perch and the occasional leopard shark. Then there's been the salmon.
"I've got some fish stories," Pappas laughed, some which put him on the cover of his hometown paper. "Up there in the top five was the time I wasn't even planning on going fishing. I'm at my house. We're having a party. I'm all dressed up. My brother Pete calls me on my CB radio and tells me he's fishing at the north end of Pacifica on the beach. I can see him from my house and he's running up and down."
"I jump on my motorcycle, in my suit, and head to shore," Pappas said. "I'm just going to be there for a minute. I toss out my line and catch a 36-pound salmon immediately. I had to hitchhike home because you can't carry a 36-pound salmon on a motorcycle."
The Crab King said this year's salmon season started around April 12, but it hasn't come to Pacifica yet and most likely won't until late May. Right now the party boats, particularly in the Duxbury Reef area off the southern tip of the Pt. Reyes Peninsula, are catching salmon. The local season should run through September.
"Our turn is coming," Pappas noted. This year, despite a third year of drought conditions, the National Marine Fisheries Service predicts that 634,650 Fall-Run Chinook Salmon from the Sacramento river system will be out in the ocean —an encouraging sign for local commercial and recreational fisher folk. (Last year's count peaked at 862,525.)
"The best sign to catch salmon is when the anchovies are in," Pappas said. "They're not in yet. But when you see them in the water and the seagulls are diving for them; that's the sign."
"The other sign for salmon are when people are jumping for joy on the pier and hollering at someone to get the net," Pappas continued. "That's the hint to run to the pier."
Pappas said the key ingredients for catching salmon are a float, anchovies for bait and patience. No fishing license is required on the Pacifica Pier.
"The limit at the pier is two salmon," Pappas said. "You can catch up to a 20-inch salmon. It's a nice size, enough to smell up the house — weighs about three pounds."
"And when you catch that salmon," Pappas continued, "fry it or bake it and the results are delicious. Just add a little oregano and a little lemon."
As to fishing directly off the beach, Pappas said you have to keep your eyes open. The undertow can catch you off guard. "Never put your back to the ocean." The fisherman advised that the most successful salmon fishing is on the incoming tide and at high tide. (You can pick up tide books at local fish and bait shops.)
"But really," the fisherman noted, "the best time to go fishing is when you feel it in your bones."

Configuration Migration Assistant Part 4 - Migration Plans
By Acshorten-Oracle on Jan 17, 2013
The Configuration Migration Assistant is meta data driven. It uses the Oracle Utilities Application Framework meta data to drive the underlying engine to migrate the data. With the delivery of each product a predefined set of configuration objects are provided preconfigured to be used by sites. It is possible to extend these definitions and this next set of articles will introduce these objects and how to build your own configurations for custom objects.
Before we discuss the configuration objects there is one piece of information that you need to understand. For an object to be migrated using Configuration Migration Assistant it must have two attributes:
- It must not have a system generated random primary key. These types of keys may vary from environment to environment and attempting to migrate data with these types of keys may result in unintentional results and even corruption. Configuration data tends not to use random system generated keys but Master and Transaction data does. Configuration Migration Assistant cannot be used for Master or Transaction Data. Master data is things like Accounts, Meters, Crews, Persons, Assets etc.. Transaction Data is data like Bills, Payments, Meter Reads, Tasks etc...
- Fundamentally Configuration Migration Assitant uses Maintenance Objects to process data but each object to be migrated must have a Business Object for configuration purposes. The Business Object can be any valid Business Object definition. More guidelines about this are in Configuration Migration Assistant Overview (Doc Id: 1506830.1).
The first object to configure for Configuration Migration Assistant is the Migration Plan. This object defines a primary Business Object and any directly related subordinate Business Objects that must be migrated as a single entity. The relationship between the business objects and the sequence of migration is configured in this object.
The following information is configured:
- Instruction Sequence - The sequence number for the migration instruction. This is used to process the data in the correct order.
- Instruction Type - This sets the migration instruction type. There are two values: Primary or Subordinate. There can only be one Primary Instruction Type per Migration Plan.
- Parent Instruction Sequence - If the Instruction Type is Subordinate, then this is the Instruction Sequence for the parent object for this object. Subordinates can be related to other Subordinates to document multi-level structures.
- Description and Business Object - The Business object for this instruction. The description is a free format field to allow you to document the instruction. Usually this is populated with a short description of the object.
- Traversal Criteria Type and Traversal Criteria - This is a definition of how the subordinate is related to the parent object. Configuration Migration Assistant allows you to specify Constraints in the meta data, SQL Statements or XPATH statements to document the relationship. The latter is useful for relating complex business object relationships that arte buried in XML definitions. The Criteria Type determine which method you want to use to express the relationship and the Criteria is the statement to express the relationship. The online help contains examples and guidelines for the Criteria formats supported.
- Next Migration Plan - Configuration Migration Assistant allows you to reuse Migration Plans and this field allows you to link Migration Plans for consistency. We will discuss this feature in future posts.
- Algorithms - One of the features of the Configuration Migration Assistant is the ability to manipulate the data upon import. This is where the specification of the algorithm is performed. This is typically done on the target environment.
To do this use the Admin --> M --> Migration Plan menu option.
For example:
Note: Remember, the product ships with a predefined set of Migration Plans for you to use. You may not have to configure this unless you want to copy the provided plans to tailor them or add custom business objects.
Each object to migrate using the Configuration Migration Assistant must exist in at least one Migration Plan.
For more information about this aspect of the Configuration Migration Assistant and other aspects refer to the Configuration Migration Assistant Overview (Doc Id: 1506830.1) whitepaper available from My Oracle Support.

An early spring blast of wintry weather was dumping a slushy mix of ice and snow in western Missouri, causing numerous traffic accidents and temporarily closing the Kansas City International Airport.
Officials closed the airport to departing and arriving flights for two hours and 15 minutes Saturday afternoon after determining the runways were too icy.
The National Weather Service said the Kansas City region had received up to 1 1/2 inches of snow and up to a quarter-inch of freezing rain by 4 p.m. Saturday. Meteorologists expected the area to receive a total of two to four inches of snow and sleet by the time the storm ended Saturday night.
Northwest Missouri was expected to receive about two inches of snow while the areas of southwest and south central Missouri were to receive up to four inches of snow and freezing rain.

I'm pretty damn sure Dave Chappelle wasn't planning on hanging out with 5-10,000+ of Portland's finest tonight. Rather, I'd put a reasonably large bet on him being stashed away in some swanky hotel room at The Heathman, drinking Blue Label and crackin' jokes when his manager came in and told him we were all waiting, expecting him to show up. WE, the PEOPLE brought him out that hotel room. What was he supposed to do? Be a big fat jerk and not come? That's crazy talk.
I won't lie, it was more exciting in the hour we waited for him than once he actually showed up. The mini-amp and plug in mike were…let's go with underwhelming. My computer speakers are louder than that crappy excuse for a sound system. But then again, as a kind Po-Po informed me, no permit, no sound. Looks like the party was doomed from the start.
But it's all good. It definitely gave us all something to do on a Tuesday night other than watch TV and drink beer, albeit very very good beer. It was just such a waste of a crowd. Think about the possibilities of that scene. We were primed and ready for something great. It was unrehearsed, organic, community. There were people drinking whiskey and getting naked (and arrested for getting naked) on the roof of Starbucks for God Sake!!! No, this was real. No marketing or advertising gimmicks to ruin the moment. Just grassroots, networking and word of mouth proving weight in gold–or maybe iPhones. Everything is so intentional and scripted these days–even so-called reality TV. When we get a glimpse of the unexpected, the spontaneous, the surprise with no ulterior motive to be found–we have no choice but to form a Twitter flash-mob and surround it. It's such a rare and precious gift. I suppose, that, in and of itself, is what really made tonight special. It wasn't Dave Chappelle (sorry Dave). It was people gathering around a mustard seed of a possibility. If you were there and saw how many people showed, I'm sure you can attest that we grew those grassroots into a tree. And that's pretty fucking cool if you ask me.
Let's just hope the rumor starters pick a venue where we don't need a permit next time!

PHP is not buggy.
Your SMTP server is not buggy.
It' the code someone has written in PHP, and/or the design ideas they were
working from. That's the only place you should be trying to fix this.

John Abraham turns villain in Race 2
The filmmaker duo is happy with the inclusion of John as they think he is perfect for the role. Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor have already signed to play the lead roles. Interestingly, John"s girlfriend Bipasha Basu was a vamp in the first movie and he will appear in the sequel when she is not a part of the project anymore.
Producer Ramesh Taurani is also very pleased with the casting. Recently, John earned accolades for his negative role in New York. The film is slated to go to the floors in 2011. The team is looking for exotic locations to start shooting. The first movie was shot in South Africa and Dubai.
It will be interesting to see how John looks in the film!
