A Southwest Airlines jet that landed at the wrong Missouri airport successfully took off despite a short runway and was heading to an airport that can accommodate its size.
The Boeing jet took off from the Taney County airport in Missouri without incident Monday afternoon.
Airline officials said they didn't know why the craft, carrying 124 passengers and a crew of five, went to the smaller airport, which does not usually handle such large airplanes. It was supposed to have landed at Branson Airport, about seven miles away. The runways at the smaller field are about 3,700 feet long while the larger airport boasts runways that are more than 7,000 feet long.
The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are both investigating the incident.
The pilots have been placed on paid leave pending the investigations, airline spokeswoman Brandy King said in an email to reporters.
Southwest Flight 4013 left Chicago's Midway International Airport on Sunday bound for Branson Airport, then for Dallas. But the plane, a Boeing 737-700, landed instead at the Taney County airport, also known as M. Graham Clark Downtown Airport, according to a statement from the airline.
The website Flightaware.com, which tracks flights, said the Southwest flight landed at 6:11 p.m. local time Sunday. It was partly cloudy and the temperature was in the high 50s at that time.
The landing was made safely, but some of the passengers told reporters it was abrupt.
"The landing was really abrupt and the pilot applied the brakes really strongly," Dallas attorney Scott Schieffer, who was on the flight, told WFAA-TV. "You could hear it and you could certainly feel it."
The passengers were taken to the larger airport, where they were placed on a plane to complete their flight to Dallas.
The landing Sunday was the second recent incident involving a large jet missing its assigned airport.
In November, a Boeing 747 that was supposed to deliver parts to McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kan., landed nine miles north at Col. James Jabara Airport. That plane had no passengers.

For me, the same thing it took for me to buy a Playstation 3, an exclusive new IP that's new and fresh and exciting, and right down my alley. That game was Demon's Souls.
Such a game does not yet exist yet for the PSV, nor is it announced (to my limited knowledge). Maybe XCOM : Enemy Unkown, because if that's coming out for PSV, that'd be freaking amazing!
What about you? What'd it take for you to pick up a PSV? A specific game? Or a game that has some kind of je-ne-sais-quoi - you'll know it when you'll see it? A pricecut? The inevitable redesign? A change to a more mobile lifestyle?

Malone's college days rival Stanley Cup glory
If there is a vision from the 2008 Stanley Cup Final that described the gritty passion fans love to see from NHL players, it had to be Penguins forward Ryan Malone, with a swollen nose, finishing his team's epic triple overtime Game 5 win after taking a puck in the face. It was this moment, in the spotlight of the Stanley Cup Final, that helped cement Malone's reputation as one of the League's grittier players and probably helped him hit the jackpot with a seven-year, $31.5 million contract he signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning last July.
This no-quit attitude and passion to win also was the main reason Malone was able to have a successful four-year college career at St. Cloud State.
"Even when Ryan was with us at St. Cloud, he really had, and I mean this in the most positive way possible, no regard for his body," said Brett Petersen, who was the assistant coach at St. Cloud State when Malone played there from 1999-2003.
Petersen said Malone's courage and desire were two major attributes that made him an attractive recruit.
Recruiters saw a lot to like in Malone, both in terms of actual talent and potential.
"He had that God-given frame and, knowing that, with his work ethic he would evolve to be the size and the player he is today," Petersen said. "He could develop the strength. A lot of guys don't have that frame, but Ryan was gifted and blessed and we knew to go along with it he had the determination to get to where we needed him to be and where he is today."
Malone said going to college allowed him to develop his talent.
"For myself, the college route was the better route to develop my overall game and also get stronger," Malone said. "I was a bit of a late bloomer on the ice and then also physically. I had that natural frame, but I was only like 6-foot-2, 180 and needed to get stronger if I was going to eventually make it to the NHL. So I really liked the conditioning program they offered at St. Cloud and was confident that with the college schedule the way it is, playing mostly on the weekend, I'd have plenty of time to focus on conditioning."
Malone grew up in Pittsburgh and attended Upper St. Clair High School, then Shattuck-St. Mary's in Fairbault, Minn., his junior year. He spent his senior season playing juniors with the Omaha Lancers in the United States Hockey League. He grew fond of the small town community in Minnesota while playing at Shattuck-St. Mary's and that was another deciding factor in going to St. Cloud State.
"It just seemed like the right fit for me with the conditioning program and an Olympic sheet of ice to build my skating skills," said Malone who was also considering North Dakota and Boston College. "But the environment was also a huge part. I liked that small-town feel at Shattuck-St. Mary's and they had that at St. Cloud. Hockey is everything there and the fans were so passionate. But it wasn't in a bad way; you could still go about your business. There was just a great small-town feel."
Malone would also be happy with his choice thanks to the influence of head coach Craig Dahl.
"Craig Dahl was not just a great coach but a great person," Malone said. "He taught me not just to be a better player but also a well-rounded person. You have to learn how to act and conduct yourself in the community and as a person, and he helped us do that. Just look at some of the players I played with, a great group of guys like Tyler Arnason who plays on Colorado, Duvie Westcott who played for Columbus and Mark Hartigan who played in the NHL as well. But they weren't just great players, they were good people when they left there."
While Arnason, Westcott and Hartigan all left early for the pros, Malone stayed all four years and he's still happy he made that decision.
"You really don't want to play in the minors if you don't have to," Malone said. "School is such a great time and experience in your life and having the weekend games only or shorter seasons, just helps you get prepared physically. It was great getting psyched all week for the weekend games. Staying the extra year gave me more confidence and prepared me for the pros."
Despite playing in the Stanley Cup Final, Malone still lists winning the WCHA conference title in 2001 as one of his best memories.
"Oh yeah, that's right up there, maybe even tied for first," he said. "That was a great time and I'll never forget that."

Is open source a vital step in moving software engineering from art to science? Or does it fail to meet the needs of nonprogrammer users and organizations? These authors debate where open source is, where it?s going, and whether it can deliver what?s promised.

Ava Summer School cleans up Vera Cruz
On June 30, 2004, summer school students from Ava Middle School
cleaned up at Vera Cruz. Students of Jason Puryear and Velma
Shortt, in cooperation with Mary Chipps, VISTA Community Youth
Program Coordinator with Extension/4-H, picked up trash at
the Missouri Department of Conservation Public Use Area, making
a positive impact on the picnic areas, roads & along the
banks of Hunter Creek at Vera Cruz.
The day before the field trip, the students
heard an informative talk given by Tim Carr from the Missouri
Department of Conservation. He told them about the area and
inspired them to action on the trash problem there. Ava High
School students Lyndsey Porter and Kelse Bray each volunteered
during the day to help make it a safe and enjoyable outing.

A new Texas Transportation Institute study at Texas A&M says wider stripes on the sides of rural highways could reduce the number of accidents. Right now, no rural highways in Texas have this wider stripe, but this new discovery could soon been seen in the Brazos Valley.
Traveling in Texas can take you down some long and winding roads.
Even though they don't see the traffic that major highways do, over half of all fatality accidents happen on rural two-lane highways. The Texas Transportation Institute, or TTI, says they know a way to cut that number down. Make the edge line wider.
Paul Carlson wrote a study at TTI.
"People have been experimenting with the standard with of 4 inches and increasing from 6 to 8," says Carlson.
The edge line he's talking about is the white line that marks the shoulder. The study says by making the stripe wider, accidents, even fatal ones, were reduced by up to 38 percent.
"I think in terms of these wider edge lines, its about the visibility and the wherewithall as a driver of knowing where you are in your lane and your position," explains Carlson.
Now, the study says that in addition to reducing accidents up to 30 percent in some cases, that those wider strips actually have a benefit over something like rumble strips on the side of the road. That's because if you've ever been in your car and hit a rumble strip before you know how loud they can be.
"They produce noise that the residents don't like and where you don't have a lot of pavement thickness, you can't really grind into your pavement and a lot of our highways in Texas are like that. We just have a small layer of pavement," says Carlson.
Bottom line?
Wider stripes are more cost effective than rumble strips. That makes for an attractive option to drivers and Transportation Departments looking to increase safety.
TTI hopes that with this new information national traffic codes will be updated to make the wider shoulder stripe standard.

Simon's Cat
My Last Trip to Greece
My last trip to Greece was a Grand one. My husband Mike and I spent three weeks in Greece in May 1998. We spent ten days of that time island hopping. We took a small bag with us and jumped on the ferry. Each day we would get off and barter with dozens of guys who were standing on the dock trying to get people to "stay at my place," It was great fun because we never knew what we were going to end up with even though they all promised us a great view of the water. I think we only saw a great view of the the water once, but in all places we could see a bit of blue between the trees or buildings. Hey, the price was right and we did have fun.
The Red Sea
In early January of 1994 we returned to Saudi after our vacation. We had to put my mother in a nursing home just before we left and got back home to discover Gizmo, our favorite cat ever, had died while we were gone. This was all pretty traumatic until the next day when Mike went to work only to discover they had done away with his job while he was gone. Aramco, the company we worked for was famous for not being able to tell you to your face that you were going to be jobless. More often than not, you were surplused and sent back to the US. However, they told Mike not to fear, they did everything in their power to find him another job, and something had turned up in YANBU.
"Front Gate in Yanbu"
Yanbu was an industrial city and very different from the Aramco compounds on the Eastern side of the country that resembled US military bases. Being sent to Yanbu was like being sentenced to hell if you were a woman. Unlike the compounds, women could not drive. We were living in an Arab town. They preferred us to wear an abiyah, and be covered in black like the Saudi women. I refused. We ended up living in Yanbu five years and I spend most of that time in my house or in my yard behind my wall painting.
Once we got back from vacation, Mike left immediately for Yanbu and I remained in Ras Tanura to begin packing things up. On January 31 my mother passed away. I returned to the US and spent the next two months there helping my dad and doing all the necessary things to settle her estate.
When I returned to Saudi in late March I went to visit Yanbu for the first time. Before I got there, Mike made it sound so romantic. He said, "They have mountains there, on the weekends we can go to the mountains and you can paint and I'll lay on the ground next to you and read a book." "And, if you don't like that, there's the Red Sea." For some reason I envisioned the mountains would be like those here in NC, with trees and beautiful scenery. Instead I found mountains that looked like giant rocks, the entire place was rock; you could not even dig in the ground. The actual town of Yanbu looked like the aftermath of a bombing strike; buildings were falling down and rubble was everywhere. Luckily the Royal Commission (the industrial city) where we lived was neat and clean.
"Another View of the Front Gate"
As it turned out, Mike was fairly high up in the company when we got to Yanbu, so we were allowed to look at a number of villas and select the one we wanted to live in. These villas were Arab style houses, big enough for a wife or two, a bunch of kids, servants and the works. Since Mike and I were going to be the only people living in this house, I was feeling very guilty taking the house we did when there were families with lots of kids in much smaller places. My friend Sherry who had lived there about five years by the time I got there said, "Don't feel guilty about the big house, it is all you will have here and you are going to spend a LOT of time in it." Boy was she right!
Our house was a mighty fine house surrounded by an eight foot wall. We had an entry hall big enough to live it, a living room, dining room, kitchen, den, sitting room, and servants quarters on the ground floor. Upstairs we had another living room in the middle of the house surrounded by seven bedrooms. In all the house had five bathrooms. If I had to guess I would say it had about 5,000 - 6,000 sq. ft. What did we do with all that space? One bedroom was used as closet because storage space in that gigantic house was lacking. Americans have much more stuff than anyone else in the world I've discovered. One room was my studio, one room was where I taught art. One room was our office, One room was our bedroom and I gave Mike a room all for himself that he could do whatever he wanted in and never keep clean. And, I think it only got cleaned twice in the five years we were there.
So I spent lots of time painting in my yard, and the last thing I did before we left there was throw myself an art show entitle "Behind the Wall." The paintings on this blog page are some of the works from my yard.
"View From the Back"
"Almond Tree"
"Palm Shadows"
It isn't often you get to be in the middle of a war, and it is certainly something to make you appreciate life. Eventually the war ended, the US military packed up and went home, and life was back to normal; as if nothing ever happened.
The above painting is of the patio at the "Surf House" The Surf House was the big community recreation facility in Ras Tanura. When I was a kid in Ras Tanura, the kids used to hang out there, and some things never change with time; my kids used to hang out there too.
Here's a painting of the "Patio with an arts and craft sale taking place.
The sun rose over our beach and it was often quite unbelievable to see. I used to walk down the beach every morning for exercise, and many of the paintings I did were inspired by those walks.
The following painting of the RT beach path is like the patio, it has been there for generations; I walked on it when I was a kid as did my kids. I think this path was one of the unforgettable features of Ras Tanura I can't begin to tell you how many people commissioned me to paint that path. It is still popular today and requested by people who used to live there.
Living on the Arabian Gulf
Those who know me also know I spend 30 years living in Saudi Arabia, 10 as a kid and 20 as an adult. People always feel sorry for you when you tell them that, but the majority of it was a great experience. We were fortunate to make some really good friends with other expatriates who lived in our community, and then there was the travel. Because we lived there and went on vacation once a year, we have traveled to many places in the world that are the dreams of most, but reality for few.
The above piece was painted right outside our back door in the Arabian gulf town of Ras Tanura. How miserable can you be when you are living about 30 paces from the water's edge?
My husband Mike and I were eating lunch one day in 1990, looking out at this beautiful view when we heard on BBC shortwave that Suddam Hussein wanted to invade Kuwait. At that time Mike said, "ah, he will never do it, his bark is worse than his bite." Within a couple of days we were hearing that troops were massing in Iraq on the Kuwait boarder. You have to take into account if you did not listen to BBC shortwave, and you lived in Saudi, you didn't know a thing about all of this because all news going in and out of that country was censored in those days. By this time Suddam was saying he planned to take Kuwait first and then move on to Saudi. Okay, so I was getting a bit concerned even though Mike still insisted Suddam would not be that stupid! It was a Thursday morning and I was taking an art class at our local art group when I found out Suddam had indeed made his move and invaded Kuwait.
Going into all the details about what resulted in our lives next would be the subject of another blog. There were some times while that war was going on we were scared out of our minds, but it general we weren't nearly as scared as our kids who were away at boarding school and college, and our parents who were in the US listening to it all of it unfold on CNN. Believe me when I tell you it is easier to live through it in person than it is to hear it on TV and not be able to do anything about it.
The following photo was one I sent my parents and kids while all of this was going on, and I still don't understand why no one thought it was funny but me. Where was their sense of humor?
If you remember the history of the 1st Gulf War, you know that at the end, just because he could Suddan ordered his army to burn the oil wells in Kuwait. As the crow flies, that was just up the beach from us, so it got pretty nasty on our beach as well. The following photo is interesting once you realize what you are seeing. That white line on the horizan is actually what was left of the regular sky color after the black smoke from the fires floated down the beach to our area. It just closed in on us from the top and shut out the light. Sorry, no plein air painting today!
Here's a pastel looking up the beach in the opposite direction as the painting above.
Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow
The last time we went to Greece was in 1998. We decided to spend our last vacation from Saudi in Greece and Turkey. It as pretty amazing. We spent the first week on Syros as usual, just laying around, enjoying the tavernas and great food and doing nothing. This might sound boring to you, but after being in Saudi for a year, we enjoyed doing nothing.
After the week was over we decided to go see the rest of Greece, so we headed down to the port and caught a ferry to the next island. We did not have a plan or a reservation, we just left. We had heard from those who came before us, this was the way to do it. When we got off the the ferry, there were dozens of guys holding up signs with the names of their establishments on them; they were trying to entice us to go stay at their inn. Everyone wanted you to be their guest, so they were all negotiating with you for the best price. What fun it was! And so we spent the next two week going from island to island and really enjoying the experience On each island we rented a motorcycle and did our on personal tour of the island. I was mortified because in my mind motorcyles translated to "death." One thing we noticed was how different the tzatziki was from island to island, so we decided to eat it everywhere and do a test to see who had the best. In the end, we actually decided our little village of Kini on Syros Island had the best.
Plein air Painting in Greece
The light in Greece is absolutely amazing! We went there several times and never tired of it. The light was great, and if you went at the right time of year, not only was the weather perfect, but the tourists had not yet arrived and you could actually enjoy the experience.
Many times over the years we would take off and go visit different islands, but we always used Kini as out home base. This tiny village was perfect because you could walk everywhere and there was a painting on every corner. The painting above entitled Kini Bay overlooks the bay and the village.
One of the very neat things about painting on location on the Island of Syros was the varied subject matter We were lucky to know someone who lived there and Trudy showed us all of the fantastic locations we never would have found on our own. In one area there were dozens of deserted mansions that has been standing empty since WWII. This tiny island must have had lots of money prior to World War Two for it to have so many huge places. It didn't take much to let your mind wander and invision what life must have been like back them. The following work entitled "From Days Gone By" was painted in this location.
Those Were the Days
Back in the 90's I was living in Saudi Arabia, and since outdoor painting opportunities were slim, we used to escape to Greece to paint. My friend Trudy, who I met in Saudi was married to a Greek fellow and when they retired they opened a sweet little inn on the island of Syros where we used to go paint. Trudy and Kirk had plans to build a house on the other side of the bay from their inn. When I painted the previous painting all they had built was the bedroom with a porch; their private getaway. The above painting is entitled "Trudy's Escape."
The town on Syros where the inn was located was Kini. It was a quaint little fishing village where very little English was spoken because it was not a tourist destination for foreigners, but a beautiful spot where the Greeks went to vacation to escape from all the tourists. The work below is just one of the many beautiful site in the tiny village of Kini.
I paint colorful scintillating paintings in regular size and miniature for my enjoyment and yours.

Romney Makes Birth Certificate Joke
COMMERCE, Mich. – Mitt Romney joked about his birth certificate at a rally in his home state Friday, taking a shot at President Barack Obama over doubts about where the president was born.
"No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate, they know that this is the place that we were born and raised," Mr. Romney said, as he spoke about his and his wife's births in the Mitten State.
After decrying the tone of the president's campaign, Mr. Romney waded into the muck on the stump Friday. Meanwhile his campaign aide assured reporters that the Republican presidential hopeful believes the president was born in the U.S. Mr. Obama, who has released his long-form birth certificate, was born in Hawaii.
The Obama campaign immediately seized on the remark. "Throughout this campaign, Governor Romney has embraced the most strident voices in his party instead of standing up to them," said Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for the Obama campaign. "But Governor Romney's decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement should give pause to any rational voter across America."
Spontaneous remarks such as the one Mr. Romney made Friday are characteristic of the candidate. They have repeatedly thrown his campaign off message when Mr. Romney has made offhanded comments about the two Cadillacs his wife owns and his friendships with Nascar team owners, among others.

But some Romney supporters at Friday's event found the remark amusing. "That was good," 77-year-old John Edmonds said, chuckling. "That fit perfectly."
Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, Mr. Romney's running mate, again took some swipes at the president Friday over Mr. Obama's 2008 comments that he had trouble winning certain working-class voters who "cling to guns or religion." At the time, Mr. Obama was sharply ridiculed for the remark.
"He said people from states like ours, we like to cling to our guns and our religion," Mr. Ryan said, drawing on his own Midwestern roots. "I just have one thing to say: This Catholic deer hunter is guilty as charged and proud of it."
Aside from the remark, the event was largely focused on Mr. Romney's homecoming to a state he has barely campaigned in.
His wife, Ann Romney, grew emotional up at the sight of thousands who turned out at an apple orchard and cider mill here to catch a glimpse of the presidential candidate and his running mate.
"When I got on the stage and I didn't appreciate how many people were here until I stood up here I got quite choked up because it's amazing," Mrs. Romney said in a shaky voice. "This is a special place for us and we want to have a big W next to Michigan in November."

VIENNA -If you love 1-0 pitching duels, then you should have attended Thursday's opening-round softball game between Alderson Broaddus and Davis & Elkins in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Softball Tournament which began its three-day run on Thursday at Jackson Park.
AB's Megan LaFon and D&E's Amber LaBille hooked up in a classic, with the Battlers scoring the only run in the bottom of the fourth to advance to today's 9 a.m. winner's bracket game against top-seeded Trevecca Nazarene, a 5-0 opening-day winner over Ursuline.
Meanwhile, D&E later won its elimination game and will play another at 12:30 p.m. today vs. either Salem International or Kentucky Wesleyan, who meet each other at 10:30 a.m.

Alderson Broaddus' Kylee Gaspar attempts to draw a teammate's attention as Davis & Elkins' Autumn Appleby looks on during the Battlers' 1-0 win in the opening round of the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Tournament in Vienna.
Neither pitcher in the AB vs. D&E game was willing to yield. In fact, neither yielded a walk, with LaFon recording seven strikeouts and LaBille whiffing five in a fast-paced 86-minute game that helped tournament officials -who spent the day battling inclement weather and wet fields -get in six of Thursday's eight scheduled games as only one of the three fields at the Jackson Park complex was playable.
D&E, which came into the game as the No. 5 seed, mounted the first scoring threat of the game. In the top of the first, Ashley Dove singled with one and Danielle Norton did likewise with two away. But LaFon bore down and recorded an inning-ending strikeout to erase the threat.
AB (22-25) didn't enjoy its first baserunner until Whitney Brown led off the third with a double. But she got no further than third thanks to LaBille recording a pair of strikeouts and inducing a popout, causing fans in attendance to wonder whether this might go on all night.
That didn't happen. With one out in the bottom of the fourth, Kylee Gaspar singled to left, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Bianca Officer and to third on a single by Arial Cammin. Gaspar then managed to steal home for what would be the only run of the game.
The Senators threatened to tie the game in the fifth, with LaBille and Kaitlyn Daugherty recording back-to-back singles with one out. But again LaFon kept D&E off the boards, recording a fielder's choice and a strikeout.
Although AB never threatened again, it wasn't necessary. LaFon, recording her 18th win of the year, breezed through the final two innings.
Despite the opening game loss, the Senators (18-29) refused to bow out on the first day of the tournament and instead breezed past Ursuline in an elimination game, 6-1. Alanna Jones cruised through a 64-pitch effort, which should've been a shutout.
However, the Arrows (10-25) managed their lone run in the fourth when Alison Porter singled and eventually scored on an error.
Jones finished with a four-hitter, walked none and fanned three.
The Senators, who return to action in another elimination affair at 12:30 p.m. today against the loser of Kentucky Wesleyan and Salem International, played long ball to make things easy on Jones. D&E smashed a season-high three bombs, two against losing pitcher Sarah Maxwell.
In the top of the first, Dove reached with one out and although Katelyn Norton was retired on a liner to third, Danielle Norton launched a shot to center for a 2-0 cushion. Chelsie Stover opened the D&E second and on a 3-2 count lifted a foul ball that Ursuline left fielder Dagmar Smith watched hit the top of the fence three-fourths down the line. On Maxwell's next offering, Stover crushed a no-doubter to left for a 3-0 advantage.
The Senators tacked on three more in the sixth for good measure. Kayla Whoolery hit the third home run, a solo shot, for a 4-0 lead. The shot by the shortstop also went off the top of the fence in left field, ironically where the Ursuline banner was, and bounced over.
LaBille followed with a one-out triple and after Daugherty was plunked, Dove delivered a two-run double to left for the final runs of the game.

The Moonstone
by Wilkie Collins
Analysis: Narrator Point of View
Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and, more importantly, can we trust her or him?
First Person (multiple central narrators)
The Moonstone is composed of a series of first-person narratives, memos, letters, and journal entries. The bulk of it is told retrospectively, from the points of view of the people involved in the action. Franklin Blake, one of the main characters, is responsible for collecting all the documents, and Gabriel Betteredge, the first narrator, quotes Franklin Blake's explanation on the first page of his narrative:
'There can be no doubt that this strange family story of ours ought to be told. And I think, Betteredge, Mr. Bruff and I together have hit on the right way of telling it. […] We have certain events to relate, […] and we have certain persons concerned in those events who are capable of relating them. Starting from these plain facts, the idea is that we should all write the story of the Moonstone in turn—as far as our own personal experience extends, and no farther. (184.108.40.206-8)
So the first assertion Franklin Blake makes is that the story "ought to be told." He thinks that it's important for future generations of their family to know the truth about the Moonstone. He also thinks that there's a "right way of telling it." Lucky us! We're sitting down to read a story that needs to be told, and we're going to hear it the only "right way" that it could be told. Of course, Franklin Blake wants to make sure that the bare facts are told – the reader (his imagined future generations) should be allowed to judge for him or herself. So that puts us in the position of detective – we hear the events just as the characters themselves experienced them, and we know only what they knew at the time.

Kerry footballer Paul Galvin has warned the GAA authorities to accept that payment for players is inevitable.
Speaking to the iTalkSport show on Setanta TV, the All-Ireland winner offered his reaction to a recent spate of inter-county retirements due to work pressures.
"I think that's a flaw in the GAA. It's a brilliant organization and it has given me a lot. But life after the GAA can be very lonely for footballers and you can be very isolated," said Galvin.
"Players have had to look at alternative employment and careers as a result of the recession. I've had to do it myself. I think it's understandable at this stage if players are feeling the pinch in terms of their work and career."
Galvin also said on the show that he believes a move towards professionalism isn't very far away.

"Yeah, I think it's inevitable now," he added. "I would preface that by saying it's not something I want or would look for because at this stage of my career I could never put a monetary value on what I've achieved or won and the memories I have. Those memories for me are priceless at this stage.
"But it's different for younger guys who are in college, in the middle of a degree and don't know whether they're going to get a job out of it. It is inevitable and you can't say otherwise.
"I feel that sometimes the GAA are trying to harness what is a natural progression for the game. Who's to say the founding fathers back 125 years ago wouldn't be looking down saying isn't it great what we have created? Look where we've grown -- isn't it great what we've become?
"If there's a player at home who is devoting himself to GAA, who is serious about it and prepares himself the right way, who just wants to make it but has no job. Would five or 10 grand a year be better than nothing? Of course it would."
Tyrone Wins
TYRONE ran Derry ragged in the NFL game in Omagh, 2-15 to 0-9, to make it two wins out of two, but manager Mickey Harte was realistic afterwards.
"It looks pretty positive, but we won't be getting carried away by it because you're only one result away from changing the complexion of how anybody views us," said Harte.
"People view us as an okay team at the minute and playing decent football. But you've got to be consistent across the season for any of us to believe that this trend is likely to continue."
Derry captain Paddy Bradley wants to see a backlash from his side after this defeat.
"We have lost here before and you don't like losing heavily at the home of your biggest rivals," insisted Bradley after a second straight defeat in the league.
"We would expect a response, but there is no doubt some of our players, including myself, aren't at the necessary fitness levels required at this stage."

Monaghan Wins
KILDARE and Monaghan are awaiting a report from the GAA's disciplinary committee after a mass brawl just before half-time in last Sunday's NFL game in Clones that Kildare lost by a score of 0-17 to 0-12.
Brian Flanagan was sent off before the second half resumed, but Kildare boss Kieran McGeeney doesn't expect any further action to be taken.
McGeeney said, "I didn't really see it. There seemed to be something on the pitch and then it went to the sideline. Then there was people shouting at each other going into the tunnel.
"It is hard to know what is going on inside other people's mind when those things are happening.
"There is a lot of testosterone flowing out there, things happen and people don't want to seen that they are backing down. That's about the size of it.
"The referee Joe McQuillan dealt with four people at half-time so I take it that will be it, unless something else comes out of it. It is hard to say if you see a bunch of people, you can't see anything in particular about it."
whole game."
Armagh Wins

Denver (AP) Colorado's unemployment rate inched up slightly in july to 5.2%, which labor officials attribute to seasonal employment changes. Five of the eleven industry sectors reported job losses, most amounting to fewer than 1,000. The highest number was 1,200 lost in leisure and hospitality.
The state's seasonally–adjusted figures also showed losses in construction, manufacturing, information and financial activities. Trade, transportation and utilities reported the biggest increase, adding 1,200 jobs.
The unemployment rate compares to 5% in June, and 5.5% in July 2004. The national unemployment rate remained steady at 5%.

Mustang Motorcycle Seats is the latest brand to go live with an interactive online training program at Powersports University, an online training center for dealer employees.
"We call this Motorcycle Seats 101," explains Mustang marketing manager Marilyn Simmons. "Dealership personnel can now learn what it takes to sell the Mustang difference. Once you have an idea of what is involved in designing and building a motorcycle seat, you have a better appreciation of the importance of quality materials and the workmanship involved in creating a new seat for a bike."
Mustang's Seats 101 is divided into three distinct training sessions. "Birth Of A Brand," the first course, provides some history and the basics behind the saddles. The second course elaborates on the features and benefits, highlighting the three pillars of seat building, starting with the seatpan, moving through the custom-molded foam and concluding with the cover. Course 3 answers the essential "why they buy" question.
"I'll let you in on a secret," says Marilyn. "Customers buy a Mustang seat because they sat on one. Our job is to get more butts on seats."
In addition to the three new Mustang modules, Powersports U's roster of training courses includes Performance Machine, Progressive Suspension, Renthal and Vance & Hines. These programs also dovetail brand specific, technically-oriented field training, conducted by Mustang at major events and rallies across the country.

How my son uses the SunRay
If you want the print screen button to work you need to add this to your startup script or your rdesktop script, "Fixing printscreen for sunray"
# Fix alt+printscreen
/usr/openwin/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 77 = 0xff62'
# Turn numlock on
/usr/openwin/bin/xset led 1
# Launch rdesktop

To get a little boost in disk speed if you are running VMware with XP be sure and visit http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/#drivers and grab the SCSI driver disk, and install VMware on a SCSI virtual disk.
Now if you have a kid using the system, after you install, be sure and take a snapshot, just after install, then you can revert back to the previous state when the machine gets a virus or malware,
One more little hint, to get out of the full screen mode of rdesktop its ctrl-alt-enter. So you can get back to the Sunray's real desktop.

I love how God works in the perfect little ways at the perfect times. I often sing "What a friend we have in Jesus" when my burdens seem too heavy. That song is such comfort to me.ReplyDelete
My father passed away from a terminal illness when I was pregnant with my first child. I am so sorry you have to go through this! It is honestly one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. But I am a better, stronger, more sympathetic person because of it. God sees the "Big Picture" and everything is done for our good. In my church we believe that we are put here on Earth to be tested. To see if we will do all God asks of us and if we do we will live with Him and our families forever. I pray that you will and can be strong through all you are asked to do here on this Earth.ReplyDelete

I had been waiting all year to participate in the CX world championships again, so when the day finally arrived, I was ready. Thinking about everything that went into getting here, it was almost a relief to have the day arrive! I was almost giddy. The course was fast and dry, but still a lot of fun. There were 30,000 people there and it was complete chaos, as a CX race so close to the Belgian border ought to be. I had ridden to the course early with Laura Van Guilder and that proved to be a nice way to start the day. It was cold and windy, but it was good to spin the legs and arrive at the course on bike. I went and got my race bike and took a whirl around the course. It was even drier and more frozen with the below freezing temperatures. I changed clothes, got myself ready to get on the trainer, signed autographs, said hi to friends and fans and then put the music on and got my legs ready for the last 40 minutes of pain of the 08-09 CX season! It was going to be fun!
I took one lap to get to the start, the course lined with people 5 deep. I wiped out on a corner and got cheered on loudly as I picked myself up, laughing and embarrassed. I tucked my tail between my legs and carried on. I made it to the start and did the start laps with everyone else. It was almost game time. We got called up and in the grid, and then the green light went off and it was game on. Well almost, except I couldn't get myself into my left pedal. Click, click, click. I kept missing. Rookie move, for sure. And now I was dead last going up the hill, but as it turned out, there was a huge crash just around the corner, so I had luckily been far enough back to avoid it and bike around it and get right back into the race. I worked my way forward, one person at a time and soon there were very few people anywhere in sight. I rode most of the race alone. Towards the last few laps, there were two more spots to be had. I only managed one of them, getting outsprinted to the line. I ended the race having raced my heart out, going as hard as I could. I didn't crash and I avoided others that did. I finished 17th. I missed my goal, but I improved from last year. I will consider it a success. The season was over and now it was time to celebrate! Although we could never find the Portland contingent, Erik Weeman, Kris Schamp and his brother and friends (the newest Sue Butler Supporters) were ready to celebrate as well. We watched Niels Albert dominate the mens race and cheered on our U.S. men! It was an amazing day! Freezing cold, but the sun came out and made it a wonderful way to end the season!!! Thanks for reading and your support along the way! It has been an amazing ride.
Gotta represent!
The Portland crew. Never saw them again, but at least they came by and wished me luck!

Most Companies Claim Interest Rates Don't Play Big Part in Investment Decisions
How much do changes in borrowing costs influence business investment decisions? Not as much as you might think.
In a 2012 survey of chief financial officers, "we find that most firms claim to be quite insensitive to decreases in interest rates, and only mildly more responsive to interest rate increases," wrote Steven Sharpe and Gustavo Suarez, two Federal Reserve economists, in a recent working paper, "The Insensitivity of Investment to Interest Rates: Evidence from a Survey of CFOs."
Mr. Sharp and Mr. Suarez note that a rise in interest rates discouraging capital investments by businesses is "a fundamental tenet of investment theory," but that there is "mixed evidence, at best, for a substantial interest-rate effect on investment."
Their own research relies on a quarterly web poll of executives from 600 to 900 U.S. firms, the Duke University/CFO Magazine Business Global Outlook survey, and two special questions asked in September 2012 about what effect changes in the cost of borrowing money would have on their businesses' decisions to make investments.
Most CFOs indicated neither increases nor decreases in interest rates would make much difference: 8% would increase investment with a decline of one percentage point, and an additional 8% would spend more with a decline of one to two percentage points. An increase of one percentage point would cause 16% to scale back investments, while an increase of one to two percentage points would cause an additional 15% to pull back.
That could have implications for central banks, which traditionally seek to influence interest rates as a policy tool — though it's hardly a new idea. John Maynard Keynes wrote in The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money that interest-rate changes exercise "a great, though not a decisive, influence on the rate of investment," and economist Steven Fazzari wrote in a 1993 paper that "interest rates and the cost of capital play a small and uncertain role in the determination of investment when compared with the strength of firms' financial condition and the growth of their sales."
Or as Stephanie Kelton, chair of the economics department at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, put it on Twitter: "Keynes said it 1936, Fazzari showed it 1993, Fed economists figure it out in 2014."

First it was the typewriter, then the teleprinter. Now a US news service has found a way to replace human beings in the newsroom and is instead using computers to write some of its stories.
Thomson Financial, the business information group, has been using computers to generate some stories since March and is so pleased with the results that it plans to expand the practice.
The computers work so fast that an earnings story can be released within 0.3 seconds of the company making results public.
By using previous results in Thomson's database, the computer stories say whether a company has done better or worse than expected.
"This is not about cost but about delivering information to our customers at a speed at which they can make an almost immediate trading decision," said Matthew Burkley, senior vice-president of strategy at Thomson Financial.
"This means we can free up reporters so they have more time to think."
Mr Burkley said the computer-generated stories had not made any mistakes. But he said they were very standardised. "We might try and write a few more adjectives into the program," he said.
Thomson started writing computer programs for different types of stories, at a cost of $150,000-$200,000 (£79,623-£106,190) per project, to try to catch up with rivals such as Reuters and Bloomberg.
Thomson has also hired hundreds of specialist reporters to boost its news operations.
Reuters said it automatically generated some stories, while Bloomberg said it did not.
The desire for speed reflects the growth of automated trading. Many hedge funds want direct feeds that can be plugged into programs and used for trading.
Thomson's automatic stories are being generated mostly in the US market.

totally understand the diet, though you look great :) I go up and down often (but not by a lot of lbs), and when I go too far up, I always end up watching what I eat because buying all new pants is not logical lol!
Love this outfit!!! This is the kind of outfit I wish I could wear all the time- maybe I will figure out a way to re-create it. :)
