The daughter of Kenneth Myers is shocked to hear about her father's alleged killing of four women over the weekend. (WRDW-TV / July 4, 2011)
News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, July 4, 2011
WAGENER, S.C. -- It's a voice mail that haunts Alisha Myers' phone.
"It's hit me a few times when I've listened to the message of the last time that me and my dad and them talked, and he was singing for my son's first birthday, and it really made me break down, and we cried. I cried for over two hours," she told News 12.
It'll be the last time she hears her father's voice. He was the man police say went on a rampage through the town of Wagener, S.C., that left four dead before he fatally shot himself.
"Something had to have pushed him to a point, but nobody really knows what it was," she said.
She gave News 12 pictures of her father. She said they offer up thoughts of happier times. One shows a father at the beach with his daughter and granddaughter. Another shows Kenneth on the couch with his wife Angela Myers, her sister Tabitha Brown and their mother Vicki Brown. They're all gone now, along with his ex-girlfriend Esther Baldwin.
"I can't even fathom a single idea that would lead my dad to do this," she said.
She said the man who caused all this panic and pain was not the father she knew.
"Every time I'd go down there he was so happy to show who his kids were, you know, he'd walk around saying, 'This is my baby girl.' And he was just so happy and people -- you could see in their faces -- that they respected him, that they knew him," she said.
But she's not only dealing with the tragic loss of a father. She says her tears have flowed for the victims, too.
"They were literally our family," she said.
It's a family that's now ripped apart.
"It's something I'm going to have to bare and something I'm going to have to deal with as time goes," she said.
She says she also hopes members of the community don't retaliate against the family members she has left. She says more violence won't make any of the victims come back to life.
As for the relationship between Kenneth and Angela, Alisha says they loved each other. She visited them frequently and called them even more. She says they completed each other's sentences. She says that's why this was all the more shocking for her to hear.

Ranbir to fight out with ex-girlfriend Katrina
You may call it a coincidence, fate or intentional, but the truth is that Ranbir Kapoor and his ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif are going to fight out at the box office. Their films Rockstar and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan are scheduled to hit the theatres on the same day.Ranbir | Katrina | Bollywood Video | Movies | Hot Celebrities | Ranbir Biography | Katrina Biography
Imtiaz Ali directed film Rockstar, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri, is scheduled for release on September 9. Yash Raj Films' Mere Brother Ki Dulhan starring Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif too is scheduled for release on the same date.
Let's hope the makers of the films do something to avoid the clash.

Traffic Violations
If you or someone you know has been arrested and charged with a traffic violation or driving offence it is important for you to understand your rights and to know the possible consequences of the charges. Because you need to protect your license, your driving privileges and your freedom, you need an aggressive and experienced legal team on your side. The lawyers at the Law Offices of Kent Haryett & Company are prepared to defend you when you have been charged with any of the following traffic violations or driving offences:
- Stunt driving

- Highway offences
- Excessive speeding
- Abrupt lane changes
- Aggressive driving
- Accidents resulting in serious injury
- Criminal negligence causing death
- Driving over .08 BAC
- Impaired Driving

Traffic violation laws and driving charges should be taken seriously
Too often responsible people dismiss traffic violations and driving offences as trivial matters than can be cleared up by paying a fine. But when violations add up or charges of reckless driving result in significant damage to property, serious injury or even death, the consequences can be substantial and the offender stands to lose a lot.
Many people dismiss driving offences as trivial things easily solved with a quick fine, but when charges of dangerous driving involve substantial damage to property, serious injury or even death, the consequences can be serious. These cases demand experienced and effective criminal defence. At Haryett and Co., our lawyers build a legal defence for you based on an exhaustive review of accident reports and an investigation of the evidence as well as questioning the legality of traffic stops.
Traffic law violation, traffic court & speeding ticket lawyers
A speeding ticket may seem like just a minor inconvenience that goes away when you pay the fine. However, any experienced traffic lawyer will tell you that criminal courts view multiple speeding ticket violations very seriously. You could lose your license and driving privileges if you do not have the right representation. If you are interested in knowing your rights and have questions about how to get out of a speeding ticket, how to fight a speeding ticket or how to beat a speeding ticket, contact Haryett & Co. We will advise you on your rights and the consequences based on the letter of the law.
Contact a driving offense, traffic violation or speeding ticket lawyer today
If you have been charged with a serious driving offense or a traffic violation and need the guidance of a traffic accident lawyer, speeding ticket defense lawyer or traffic ticket lawyer, contact Haryett and company today. Whether you have caused serious damage or injury or have your speeding ticket violations and traffic violation tickets are adding up, your life could be negatively effected by jail time, or loss of your license. Traffic tickets and driving offenses can lead to serious charges. Contact Haryett and Co. to protect your rights and good standing.

What if sustainability was not a club, but a way of life?
What if it was more important to ask questions than to answer them?
What if your education was not about what you know, but what you discover?

A 32-year-old Aurora man has been convicted in the death of his girlfriend's 2-year-old son.
The Aurora Sentinel reports a jury found Ted Madrid guilty Friday of first-degree murder and two counts of child abuse resulting in death. The verdict means a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.
Police say Madrid told them he was babysitting Caden Rodgers in January 2011 and tried to throw the boy onto a bed while roughhousing. But the boy missed the bed and was knocked unconscious when he hit his head. He died at a hospital.
Madrid's attorney said the death was an accident and called for a lesser charge, but prosecutors disagreed. They noted that 911 was not called until 90 minutes after the boy hit his head.

Pep Guardiola will take over from Jupp Heynckes as Bayern Munich coach at the end of the season.
The 41-year-old former Barca boss, who has signed a deal with the Bundesliga club until 2016, has been on a sabbatical from the game since leaving Camp Nou in 2012 having won 14 trophies with the Liga side during his four seasons in charge.
Guardiola who had been linked with a host of top-flight clubs across Europe including Manchester City and Chelsea, has now signed a three-year deal with the German side.
In a statement announcing the snapping up of the Spaniard, Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said "We are very happy that we managed to land the expert Pep Guardiola for our club. He was contacted by lots of big clubs".
"Pep is one of the most succesful coaches in the world and we are convoinced, that he will not only shine for Bayern but for the whole of German football. We look forward to our common work from July 2013 on."
Rummenigge also reserved some words of praise for outgoing Bayern boss Heynckes, adding that securing the Bundesliga title would be a fitting send off for the German.
"As a club and as Jupp Heynckes' friends, we have to show understanding for this decision. We have to accept it and we have to respect it," he said. "During personal talks with Jupp Heynckes we assured each other that we will do anything we can, and now even more, to have a successful second half of the season 2012/13 where we want to get the title to Munich."
Bayern currently lie top of the Bundesliga, nine points clear of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen.

SUPPORTING SERVICE INNOVATION THROUGH KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT, PRACTICAL INSIGHTS AND CASE STUDIES, A. S. Kazi, P. Wolf, P. Troxler, eds., pp. 62-81, Knowledge Board & Swiss Knowledge Management Forum, 2009
Turbulent and fast moving changes in economies and short technology cycle times demand considerable knowledge from companies and their employees. These companies are urged to unleash their creativity and bound to be more creative to develop new product innovations and/or service innovations. Due to these market conditions, innovation processes become highly complex and companies must create new knowledge to be innovative. Innovation is one of the most important drivers of productivity growth besides skills, investment, enterprise, and competition. Knowledge-intensive service innovations have always been supported by the music industry as customers of this branch share a high internet and technical affinity. However, there are several problems with service innovations in the music industry. Besides the fact that the mobile music market is a fairly new market segment, the diffusion of knowledge about service innovations such as the service of digital full track music is not very high. The awareness of customer needs, therefore, should be the first priority for companies in the music industry. To obtain customer knowledge, which is tacit and hardly transferable without any affirmative action, and their needs, there are different ways of doing this, e.g., surveys, monitoring or interacting with customers. Customer integration is not only a key to obtain new service ideas, but also to prove the acceptance and the usability of a service. Although customer satisfaction is the key driver of service innovations, companies should also offer customers some different and new features and give the customers the opportunity to learn to use these features. The knowledge of customers' needs helps to define unique selling proposition (USPs) and increase the awareness of customers towards service innovations.

Louis Armstrong
Louis Armstrong.
Launched on the Great Satchmo's Centenary. The Oris Jazz watch Louis Armstrong Limited Edition 2000.
In 1900 Louis Armstrong was born in the poor Creole harbour quarter of New Orleans, USA. By his death in 1971 at Long Island he was the king of jazz – Satchmo the Great. Louis was a pioneer of swing, popularising the use of scat, and creating unique trumpet solos. These early achievements can be heard on the Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings. In the post war period Satchmo's unfailingly optimistic music reached millions, far more than the jazz purists of the time.
On the centenary of Satchmo's birth in 2000 Oris created a Jazz watch in two limited editions of 250 and 500 units. Each of the individually numbered watches is engraved with Satchmo's trumpet on the case back.

Lookup table
From ArachneWiki
In genomics, a lookup table is a tool to quickly find specific kmers, usually 12-mers, within a known reference sequence. Lookup tables are created by pre-processing the reference sequence, and are used by "looking up" query sequences within the table.
Lookup tables are commonly used to find alignments where one of the sequences is very large, such as a reference genome, and can therefore be pre-processed. For example, the BLAST program uses a pre-processed lookup table to align query sequences to known genomes.
In Arachne, lookup tables are stored in Arachne binary format in files with the lookup extension, i.e., genome.lookup.
Modules that handle lookup tables include:

Great Yard & Pool
July 16, 2012
This is a lovely home. Everything we needed was there for us to use. We particularly enjoyed the yard and pool. They need to hire a new cleaning lady, and if that is done, this would be the perfect place to stay.

Family Christmas
January 5, 2012
We used this vacation home to gather our family from Wash. D.C. , Chicago, and Minneapolis. The house was in top top shape. We loved the backyard area. Perhaps there could be a few more dishes and glasses etc. in the kitchen. We also used the home to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday.

beautifully landscaped property doesn't disappoint
December 21, 2011
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. When I saw the pictures of this property I thought they must be too good to be true. NOT. Both the property and home are exceptional. The neighbourhood is superb, quiet and the neighbours friendly. This home is designed for entertaining and I wish we could have shared it with more family and friends. We enjoyed sunning and sitting around the pool when the weather permitted, the spa was good. We had only a few minor issues which we dealt with promptly by the property manager. The location is convenient, provided you have a car. Casa Grande has lots of shopping, restuarants, ... The kitchen is beautiful with a side by side refrigerator freezer with ice maker and water dispenser, granite countertop pennisula but the microwave acted up periodically. There is plenty of cupboard storeage but entertaining with the amount of pots, pans, serving dishes made hosting a party a bit of a challenge. We felt the property was worth the fee and would recomment it to others.
Owner's reply:
Thank you for your great comments & suggestions! We have added more kitchen & bath essentials for entertaining and everyday and corrected the minor maintenance issues discovered during your stay. For an even better backyard setting during the evening hours the solor lighting has been repaired.
January, April an the rest of 2012 still available. Call for more details & booking.

Loved It!
October 4, 2011
Home exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful, clean, quiet and peaceful. The pool was also very clean and enjoyable. Did not want for anything while we were at this home. Only con is that we had to leave. We also appreciated Kaspar, the property manager, who was very helpful and professional. Hopefully, we can go back in the near future.

Lovely Place
March 20, 2011
The house was great, and the backyard with pool and hot tub was awesome. Only thing is, it was pretty sparsely furnished. A few side tables and lamps would have made the place more homey, as well as a few extra towels.

The house was very comfortable. Great location. Could have had a few more general living things but overall felt like home at the end of the day. Wished that the pool was heated but was very beautiful to hangout around

Welcome to Roumen Farms, Landscape Nursery
What was previously merely a hobby and a passion has turned into a fully-fledged wholesale nursery for Hilton and Liza Atherstone from Tzaneen, Limpopo.
From humble beginnings, they have bred and developed their extensive Clivia collection and have produced many award winning plants (see newspaper articles), winning the Northern (Pretoria) Clivia Show three years in succession and still have the record for the most awards at a single show in Pretoria. A bonus was winning the 2006 SA National Clivia Show hosted by the Northern Clivia Society. Their beautiful garden is the breeding ground for their landscape nursery and the commercial Clivia stock.
Plants are continuously upgraded to ensure that quality seed reaches the nursery. Many Clivia enthusiasts have commented that they would only dare display such beautiful Clivias in their shade houses. Most of the approximately 6000 plants in their private garden are hybrids. Their Clivia plantation is also rapidly expanding, providing quality plants for landscaping and nursery purposes.
Not to be outshone by the Clivias, are their stunning daylilies. After having collected a vast number of stunning daylilies, the "daylily bug" bit Hilton hard! He has done a vast amount of pollination over the last 3 years, and the first batch of plants will be available this season. Many stunning blooms are expected.
Roumen Farms also has a vast collection of American Hybrids on display in their garden, and summertime is a riot of colour. There are also various commercial varieties available in landscape volumes. Liza grows Inca Lilies for the cut flower market as well.
Having found it necessary to "fill the gaps" between seasons, Liza has expanded the wholesale nursery from Clivias and Inca Lilies to incorporate various landscape lines and has a vast number of high quality topiaries and standards available (Durantas).
Roumen Farms Wholesale Nursery is well known in Limpopo for their capacity to produce quality plants at competitive prices.
Other Landscape/Retail Options Available:
- Murraya Exotica (Orange Jasmine): 2 litre – 20 litre shrubs
- Euphoria Tirucalli "Firesticks": 2 litre to 20 litre
- Durantas: 2 litre to 20 litre shrubs (4 varieties) – see "Topiaries" for quality feature plants.
- TulbaghiaViolacea: bags and splits - good volumes ex-ground
- Sanseveria Hahni: bags and splits
- Crocosmia Aurea "Falling Stars": Bulbs available
- Bulbine Frutescens: bags and splits, good volumes ex-ground
- Alstroemerias: ex-ground
- Abelia "Francis Mason": Wire Topiaries - 20 litres- Cone shape
- Aloe Brevifolia
- Euphorbia Trigona: 5 litre – 20 litre excellent quality
- Torch Ginger (Red): Etlingera Elatior - great for cutflowers- grows sun/semi-shade

There was a 50-basis-point cut. Did it impact inflation? Globally, commodity prices are coming down. Should we not cut rates in anticipation? Should we only do it on the basis of what we believe is the problem on fiscal deficit.
We need to take calibrated steps to see the impact of a drop in interest rates on systemic inflation. The tools are with us. We also need to look at how other countries run public spending and we will get a precise idea or how they manage deficit or end up showing no deficit.

It is now called uplay, go to uplay.com and download installer.
Are you facing some problems in assassin's creed revelations? Check this faq, maybe there is a solution:
And here fo Assassin's Creed III game:
Black Flag:
Interesting blog i've found some time ago:
"Devs are aware"!!!!
And what do you do if the launcher tells you that there is already a previous version installed even though this is a brand new computer that never touched an Ubisoft game? And it seems that all of the solutions that I'm able to find are if it was purchased though Ubi directly. How about those people who baught it on Steam? I followed the instructions that they gave to go in and install the program file they have in there, but that installer doesn't even run. So perhaps you should try making us a ZIP file so we don't have to deal with your installers since they are broken.
You can find a List of Public Proxy Servers:
How to set up the proxy settings in your Web browser:
for Google Chrome:
or just google for "Proxy configuration firefox" etc..
hope this helps someone
To fix the error with steam its simple
Go to the Ubisoft folder and unistall de Ubisoft after do it
Download the Ubisoft game launcher rlstaller.exe
and wait the update after the update log in and play
I got no ubisoft folder in my C:\Program Files (x86) and it when i try to install the game launcher for assassin's creed 2 it said uplay was already installed, im so pissed
ive deleted every single info on the UBISOFT and it still says that i have it installed!!!
i have tried that website that was posted!!!
I thiought getting a new game would solve the problem, I was wrong, still the same thing!!!!!!!!!
whats wrong with this thing?????????
anyone have a diff opinion besides the ones that have been given ???

Average Salary: $31,020
Expected Lifetime Earnings: $1,295,000
If you are looking for a way to pay for that Lamborghini you've always wanted, this is probably not your job. The average wage for an EMT is about $15 an hour, or roughly $35K a year. The hourly wage can extend from less than $10 to more than $25 with an annual wage from less than $20k to more than $55k. Imagine getting less than $10 to save someone's life? Try telling a patient that her life is only worth the price of a cheap dinner.
The top paying states are The District of Columbia (okay, we know it's not really a state, but in this case it gets a pass), Hawaii, Washington, Illinois, and Maryland. Fringe benefits exist. Can you see yourself rescuing a bikini babe or surfer stud in Hawaii? Vacation and sick time, health and life insurance, equipment and tuition reimbursement are generally more liberal if you work for a public sector employer. They might not exist at all when working for a private company.
A public sector employer such as a state, county, municipality, or hospital district will generally pay more and have better benefits than a for-profit employer. Don't worry. You can get over your friends calling you a government blood sucker, although taking blood samples is part of the job. Intermediate level and paramedic EMT jobs will generally pay better than Basics; however, you will need to acquire considerably more training. At the basic level, you will likely need a high school diploma, a driver's license, CPR certification, and about 100 hours of training. Intermediates generally must complete 1,000 hours of training and paramedics require about 1,300 hours. Even at the basic level, some hospital in-service time is usually required. After all, the hospital staff needs someone to yell at.
What? You say you want to do this job out of the generosity of your heart instead of saving for the Lamborghini? If you are in a volunteer EMT service, the training is the same, but forget about the pay. However, the employer (yes, you are still considered an employee) will often pay for everything else, such as training, uniforms, equipment, and maybe mileage. What the employer does not supply, you may be able to deduct as volunteer expenses at tax time, assuming that you are not a tax dodger. You also get paid in non-tangible ways such as experience, skill acquisition, network contacts, self-esteem, and community gratitude. Most communities go out of their way to recognize volunteers in some way such as freebies, awards, dinners, discounts, not to mention a possible exemption from jury duty.
Guilty! Can I go home now?

WEDDING: Staggs/Gore
Stephanie Paige Staggs and James Hunter Gore were married at 4 p.m. on Sept. 8, 2012 at Van Vleet United Methodist Church.
The bride is the daughter of Bruce and Linda Staggs of Van Vleet. She is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Lancaster of Van Vleet and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Staggs of Mt. Pleasant.
The groom is the son of Kent and Cindy Gore of Houston. He is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. James Moore of Houston and Mr. and Mrs. T.W. Muse and Dr. and Mrs. Edward Gore of Tupelo.
Bird cages filled with lavender, pink and white roses lined the entry to the church. The beautiful stained glass window was accentuated with ferns and two large arrangements of flowers. Fresh garland covered the banister. Pictures from the couple's seven-year courtship lined the pews with burlap on lace and pink ribbon.
Nuptial music was provided by Melissa Moore on the piano and Laura Claire Moore on the violin.
Given in marriage by her parents, and escorted by her father, the bride wore a Maggie Sottero gown of diamond-white Vincenzia organza with a strapless neckline and corset back. The raw-edged, structured folds peeked out from an asymmetrically draped skirt highlighted with a grand bouquet of handmade flowers strewn from Swarovski crystals. Her finger-tip veil, restyled by Kay's Kreations, was worn by her mother 31 years earlier at the same church. Her bouquet, wrapped in a handkerchief, a gift from her maternal grandmother, consisted of pink garden roses with white hydrangeas.
The wedding ceremony was officiated by the Rev. Rusty Keen of Winona. The ceremony included communion, lighting of the unity candle and the exhchange of vows and rings. The Rev. John Foster assisted with the congregational communion. The communion urn and flowers in the sanctuary were placed in memory of the bride's aunt, Rhonda Kay Lancaster.
Attending the bride as maid of honor was Kelsey Laprade of Pontotoc. Bridesmaids were Ashley Price, sister-in-law of the bride, from Memphis, and Randi Nash, college classmate, from Olive Branch. Bridesmaids wore light pink floor-length chiffon gowns choosing their own personal style. Their bouquets were smaller versions of the bride's wrapped in monogrammed handkerchiefs, a gift from the bride. Adalie Kate, friend of the couple, served as flower girl.
The best man to the groom was his father, Kent Gore. Groomsmen were Tyler Staggs, brother of the bride, and Mark McNeese of Pontotoc and Tyler Davis of Houston, friends of the groom. Cousins of the bride, Nicholas Butler, was ring bearer and Stephen Butler served as acolyte. The groom and groomsmen wore black Ralph Lauren suites with champagne ties. Boutonnieres of white garden roses were worn.
Immediately following the ceremony, the bride's family entertained wedding guests with a reception at The Hancock House in Okolona. Flowers in theme with the wedding were prepared by Harolyn Turner from Turner's Flowers in Okolona. Small Gatherings Catering from New Albany provided ample food for the guests to enjoy.
The bride's three-tiered wedding cake was monogrammed in ivory and highlighted with fresh white and pink garden roses.
The groom's table showcased a monogrammed red table-runner with a blue tablecloth. His cake was shaped as an Atlanta Braves jersey. The table was adorned with pictures from the groom's T-ball days and Atlanta Braves baseball games.
The cakes were deliciously prepared by Cakes By Rita from Amory.
Essentials for the wedding and reception were provided by Event Rental of Pontotoc.
Wedding photography, to capture lasting memories of a lifetime of the wedding and reception, were photographed by Bridget Sharp Photography from Houston.
The groom's family, on the eve of the wedding, hosted an elaborate rehearsal dinner at My Friend's Place in Houston. Tables were decorated in the pink and ivory theme. A slideshow, showcasing the bride and groom's childhood and courtship, was shown for the guests.
The couple took a Caribbean cruise for their honeymoon and currently reside in Southaven.

Waist Training Corsets and Waist Training Cinchers
Celebrities and everyday women alike cannot talk enough about waist trainers. While its recent surge in popularity is new, waist training is actually a very old concept. For centuries, women have been using tight lace corsets to slim and shape of their waists. Today, fans still rely on corsets for the most dramatic results. There are alternatives as well, called cinchers, bands and fajas, which slim the waistline using different fabrics.
Whether you're looking for a traditional corset, a waist trainer or a compression garment, we have a wide selection of waist-slimming pieces and firm control shapewear. Some of our customer favorites include waist cinchers and compression vests, which provide firm hold for your midsection. While in use, these garments can visibly reduce your waistline up to several inches while stimulating thermal activity and perspiration in your core. In addition to waist training corsets, we also have sweat bands designed specifically for workouts, so you can amp up your intensity. Whatever type of garment is your preference, we have what anyone needs to start a waist training regimen.

Happy 90th birthday to president emeritus and former chairman Sir Doug Ellis today.
It might be argued that Sir Doug had an influence on Villa from the moment he first drew breath.
He was born in Cheshire on January 3, 1924 - and Villa went on to reach the FA Cup final that year.
But it was from the late 1960s that he really began to make a real impact at Villa Park.
Having made his fortune in the travel industry, he became Villa chairman in December 1968.
When he took over at the helm for the first time, Villa were on the edge of disaster, with a poor team in the old Second Division, falling attendances, heavy financial losses and a ground badly in need of repair.
His first tasks were to instigate a share issue which raised desperately needed finds and to bring in charismatic Tommy Docherty as manager, an appointment which generated tremendous interest in the club.
By the end of the following season, when Villa were relegated to Division Three for the first time in their history, Docherty had been sacked, although Ellis's next two appointments were considerably more successful.
Between them, Vic Crowe and his successor Ron Saunders guided Villa to two League Cup triumphs and eventually back to the top-flight.
Ellis resigned as chairman in September 1975 and four years later departed as a director.
But he returned in 1982 and remained chairman until 2006, when he sold the club to American Randy Lerner.
By the time he took up the honorary position of president emeritus, a total of 13 managers had served him, including Graham Taylor, who had two spells in charge.
Those managers achieved varying degrees of success. Villa were relegated under Billy McNeill in 1987 and nearly went down again when Jo Venglos was in charge for just one season in 1990-91.
But there were also triumphs, most notably promotion in 1988 and runners-up spot two years later under Taylor; runners-up spot in the inaugural Premier League of 1992-93 under Ron Atkinson, who also guided Villa to the League Cup in 1994; another League Cup final triumph under Brian Little two years later; and a run to the 2000 FA Cup final under John Gregory.
Ellis appointed Martin O'Neill before standing aside to make way for the club's new USA owner.
Ellis also had three years as a Birmingham City director from 1965, having failed to win a plae on the Villa board at the time, and had earlier been co-promoter of Birmingham Speedway.
His main sporting interest outside football has been salmon fishing, a sport which earned him the popular nickname, from former England striker Jimmy Greaves, of 'Deadly.'
A former member of the FA's international, finance and Charity Shield committee, as well as FIFA's media and television committee, Ellis was also the founder chairman of the technical control board at the FA and Football League. He was awarded the OBE in 2005 and a Knighthood in 2011.
Sir Doug said the key to a long life was "working hard at somewhere I loved" at Villa.
He said: "There's no substitute for hard work. And I did that somewhere I loved at Villa.
"I was on the board for 35 years of my life, with 31 as chairman. That's something I am very proud of.
"I gave it everything. I gave it my life to the detriment of many of my other businesses.
"But, yes, Villa has been my life. I love the club.
"Also, to have a wife like Heidi, who's been very supportive, has been very important too. We have been married for 50 years!"

DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/2.19

The authors discuss the need for protection in commercial organizations, and the way in which control principles have met this need, despite having evolved before computer systems came into use. The basis for these principles is the concept of authority and how it is designated within an organization. A simulation model for access control, written in Prolog, is presented.

NEH Summer Institute for School Teachers
NEH Summer Institute for School Teachers at the New-York Historical Society
"Race and Politics in the American Civil War"
July 13-25, 2014
Application Deadline: March 4, 2014
We invite you to apply to participate in our exciting, rigorous two-week summer institute for school teachers "Race and Politics in the American Civil War." We will convene 30 educators, nine renowned scholars, and the vast treasures of the New-York Historical Society's collections for a two-week summer institute from July 13-25, 2014. The Institute will engage you in groundbreaking new scholarship, dialogue with leaders in the field, deep primary source research, and meaningful curriculum projects to examine the centrality of racial issues in the politics of the Civil War, and determine how politics and policies evolved over the course of these arduous four years to fundamentally reshape American democracy.
After the end of the Civil War and Reconstruction, a Southern interpretation of the conflict as a noble fight for states' rights rather than a battle to maintain slavery overtook the national memory of the war. This "Lost Cause" mythology, in which noble southern gentlemen fought with valor for local rights against the aggressive North, has long been debunked by historians but remains in the national consciousness today. Moreover, a near deluge of recent scholarship highlights African Americans' centrality in fighting for emancipation and equal rights—as opposed to the old image of Lincoln and other white politicians as the main conduit for change. The goal of our Institute is to engage K-12 educators in an analysis of these important perspectives on the past.
The Institute is built upon the core of the New-York Historical Society (N-YHS)'s pedagogical methodology—the simple guiding premise that objects tell stories. In The Civil War in 50 Objects, Harold Holzer, the book's author and co-director of this institute, writes, "The Society has been dedicated to amassing a definitive record of slavery, secession, rebellion, and reunion from the time these movements first roiled the city and the nation, and the depth of today's holdings bears witness to its unflagging dedication to that aspiration ever since." Institute participants will enjoy direct access to these original primary sources and will learn to lead object-based inquiry to leverage artifacts to communicate rich and complex American history content in the classroom.
The subjects of race and politics will be interwoven throughout the course, as they were inseparable topics during the war itself, and will be structured around a chronological historical framework. The Institute will begin with an investigation of the national political and social climate anticipating the war: the Northern and Southern ramifications of race and politics before and during the election of 1860 and subsequent secession. We will then trace how the political landscape changed over the course of the Civil War, and the ways diverse groups of Americans viewed the roles African Americans could and should play as the nation evolved and the war progressed (particularly with respect to the policies of Abraham Lincoln, the methods of Frederick Douglass, and the actions and reactions of the black community). We will then investigate women's contributions to the war effort; the roles African Americans played in carrying out the fight and, in so doing, fighting for their civil rights; and the Thirteenth Amendment and the final end of legal slavery. The legacies of the war and its continued relevance today will be further illuminated through a panel discussion on the history and memory of the Civil War with some of the nation's best-known historians.
It has been said that New York won the Civil War, contributing critical men, money, and materiel in unmatched numbers. The program will benefit from this rich history and will acknowledge the importance of place in the study of the past. Teachers will learn about the 1863 New York City Draft Riots, the largest civil insurrection in American history (with the exception of the Civil War itself), not only through readings and a lecture, but by physically experiencing the sites at which this momentous uprising took place. Participants will also visit the African Burial Ground, the final resting place of over 400 enslaved Africans; Cooper Union, site of Lincoln's famous speech that propelled him toward the presidency; Plymouth Church, prominent abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher's church; and Union Square, the site of numerous rallies and parades during the War.

In Haiti, Single Moms Struggle With Camp Life
"In the organized camp of Corail, set on a barren gravel plain to the north of Port-au-Prince, two sheets of cloth and a tarp are all that separate Ridlan Duvalier and her 4-month-old baby from the elements.
Duvalier's camp — where 6,500 people live in long lines of white tents — is considered one of the better ones.
Duvalier is alone in the tent with her baby. Her boyfriend died in the earthquake. Her parents refused to take her in because she was pregnant, and she ended up with a friend at the golf course camp. They moved together to this camp. But just before she gave birth, her friend asked her to leave. So the camp managers gave Duvalier her own place. The tent is barren. A few clothes are tossed in the corner. There are two buckets of water and a washbasin. Duvalier and her baby sleep on some blankets that she has laid on top of a piece of plywood.
There's no food given out at the camp. With a newborn, Duvalier says, there's no way she can go into Port-au-Prince to seek work. So she relies on the kindness of her neighbors to eat. "This is very common," the pastor says about Duvalier's situation. He says many single mothers end up having several boyfriends. He doesn't call it prostitution, but he says the boyfriends help the mothers survive financially."

ABILENE, Texas – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi baseball team used a four-run sixth inning to vault past Abilene Christian en route to an 8-4 victory on Saturday. The Islanders (27-21, 16-7 Southland) got three hits each from Brandon Tierney and Tyler Ware to remain in first place in the conference standings.
Kyle Danford and Cody Stephens each went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBIs, as Ware drove in a pair of runs himself. Tierney and Stephens each scored twice for A&M-Corpus Christi in the win. Emil Litterer and Brandon Grudzielanek each carded two hits in the loss for ACU (16-27, 5-12).
Trevor Belicek allowed seven hits in six innings of work, but walked just one in improving to 4-5 on the season. Kevin Landgrebe was stellar out of the bullpen, allowing just one hit in three shutout innings to post the save. Brady Rodriguez was carded with the loss after surrendering seven runs, five earned, in 5 2/3 innings of work for the Wildcats.
The Islanders got out to a hot start, plating three runs in the top of the first inning off Rodriguez. Danford got things started with a leadoff single, and two batters later, Tierney sent him over to third with a double to left center, putting a pair of runners in scoring position with one away. Stephens cashed in on that, sending a single to center, plating both runners for a 2-0 lead. Ware followed by ripping a double to right field, sending Stephens around to score, but was set down trying to stretch it to a triple, as the Islanders held a 3-0 lead through the first half inning.
That was short-lived, though, as ACU came right back with three of their own in the bottom of the first. Seth Spivey led off with a single, and Russell Crippen followed by launching a two-run homer over the left-field wall to make it 3-2. A sac fly later in the inning knotted the game up at three.
Both pitchers settled down after that, though the Wildcats were able to manufacture a run in the third to take a 4-3 lead. Brandon Grudzielanek got aboard with a bunt single, moved to second on a wild pitch, and came in to score on an Emil Litterer RBI single that put the home squad in the lead for the first time.
Rodriguez responded by putting zeroes on the board in the fourth and fifth, but the Islanders came back with a crooked number in the sixth to regain the lead. Tierney led off with a single, and two batters later, Ware singled to right to put runners on first and second with one away. An error by the third baseman loaded the bags for Russell Vaughan, and the senior came through in the clutch once more, ripping a two-run single to center to make it 5-4 in favor of A&M-Corpus Christi. Later in the inning, Danford came up with the bags full and two away, and the righty smacked a single to left, plating Vaughan and Zacarias Hardy to push the advantage to 7-4.
Belicek finished off ACU in the sixth, putting up a shut-down inning in the clutch to maintain the advantage, and then handed it over to Landgrebe, who was dominate out of the bullpen. The righty set the Wildcats down in order in the seventh, then worked around an error and a single in the eighth to keep the score 7-4 heading to the ninth.
In the top of the ninth, the Islanders added an insurance run with a two-out rally. Stephens sent a liner out to right field that got by a diving Colton Hall for a triple, and Ware followed with a liner to deep right of his own, marking his sixth triple of the year for an RBI and an 8-4 lead. Landgrebe got a double play for the first two outs of the ninth and finished off ACU with a strikeout to record his first save in an Islanders uniform.
The two teams will finish off their three-game set on Sunday at Crutcher Scott Field, as first pitch is slated for 1 p.m. The Islanders will send righty Dalton D'Spain (1-0, 3.00 ERA) to the mound as they look for their second road sweep in the last three weekends. Live audio will be available on GoIslanders.com, while ACUSports.com will have live stats and video. Updates will also be provided on Twitter (@IslandersBSB).

The Dollar stores around here don`t have coolers so can`t help you. I might be inclined to be wary as I have heard reports of inferior goods at the Dollar stores but that may be unfounded. But I tend to play safe when it`s something we`re going to eat
I don't buy meat and ice cream, because it is a long drive home for me. When ever I am in the store there are people always buying the stuff. MIL would buy the cream cheese.
she bought a lot as they ate it on crackers.
I saw a sign recently....can't remember if it was in a dollar store or Big Lots attached to the rack that held Pepperidge Farm products..... and it said something to the effect, 'The products on these shelves many not contain as many or the same ingredients as our regular retail store products. Also, they may be beyond freshness date." Something along those lines, which led me to believe it wasn't something I wanted to expose us to just to save a buck or two.
Thanks for the replys. I went ahead and bought two of the round steaks wrapped in bacon. They were actually pretty good. I didn't get food poisoning. I decided sour cream and cream cheese would be better to get at the real grocery store.
we have gotten a few things at the .99 only store, we got some snow peas in the frozen section...... they were really good and are usually very expensive at regular grocery store.
I would think everything is just fine or they couldn't sell it they have to go with all the rules and regulations that other stores have to. We've also gotten things like green peppers, tomatoes, onions and garlic in the produce section. we buy the condaments and other things often. Sometimes the packaging is different or a little off color. Sometimes its close to exparation but not..... just check.
most recently we picked up a few boxes of Lary the Cable guy's fried chicken batter and corn bread mix, they are out now and I really wish I had gotten some more corn bread mix, its the best we've had in a long time.

I think I know exactly what you are talking about my mom gets them at the Grocery Outlet all the time. (she owns the store and she eats food from the store all the time).
Our Big Lots and Grocery Outlets have foods that are brand name - just not brand names in this region. I usually don't stock up unless I know we will eat something. Problem with that is by the time I remember to go back they're usually sold out. We had some great soup this evening labeled "Riviera - San Francisco style" - a very thick vegetable beef. The beef was very high quality, not gristly or fatty/greasy. The soup is a product of Birds Eye but is canned. Anyway, very tasty and a bargain at 65 cents for a 15 oz. can. If I can remember to leave for work early enough I will go pick up more.
Often the brands are the same as in a regular grocery store, just smaller. Items like the cheese, read the ingredients because it is cheaper because it is not real cheese. In other words, always be an informed consumer no matter where you shop.
I only buy chips from dollars stores...no food.I also buy the water.
I never buy food at the dollar store, because I don't know where it comes from, and where it's made. One time I did pick up toothpaste, when I read that it was made in Mexico, I put it back. Canadian standards are much higher, when it comes to the quality of foods and toiletries. It's ok if you are wanting to other products.

Monday Roundup: How to Buy Groceries at the Dollar Store
No Comments |
How to Buy Groceries at the Dollar Store. "An immediate reaction to a dollar store buy might be, "What a steal!" However, that's not always the case. Sometimes, the deal is actually less of a bargain than you thought and the poor quality is just not worth the potential cost of your health. Here are several things you need to consider before buying food items from the dollar store." SavvySugar

2002 Tin Shed Single Wire Shiraz
More Views
ANDREW WARDLAW launched his winemaking career while visiting Australian vineyards asking winemakers deep and meaningful questions - specifically how they manage to produce great wine. Thankfully, winemakers are usually very generous with information, and directions from the likes of RON LAUGHTON of Jasper Hill and STEPHEN HENSCHKE were taken on board yielding excellent results.
This is a big Barossa Red. The wine was matured in French oak for a period of 2 years, one third being new oak with the balance in 1-3 year old barrels.
Totally opaque colour, showing an impressive cling to the walls of the glass. The nose shows outstanding ripe fruit aroma, with notes of blackcurrant, red currants, ripe blackberry and vanilla oak emerging. The palate is mouth filling, with flavours of liquorice, blackberry, dark chocolate, spice and vanilla. Excellent length and depth, showing classic ripe Barossa fruit. Fine grained tannins. Perfect balance. Very long aftertaste of vanilla, spice and blackberry.
Cellar 5-8 years (2009-2012)
Alc/Vol: 14.0%
Other Reviews...
The exceptional 2002 Shiraz Single Wire (from 90-year-old vines) reveals notes of barbecue smoke interwoven with melted chocolate, mint, acacia flowers, and copious quantities of blackberries and cassis. This superb, full-bodied, fleshy, classic South Australian Shiraz is hard to resist. It should drink well for a decade.
The goal of the owner and chef of Barossa's Vintner's Grill, Peter Clark, and his partner, Andrew Wardlaw, is to make wines that they enjoy. They have access to some of the Barossa Valley's top-notch vineyards, from which they produce 2,500 cases. Their winemaking philosophy embraces a natural approach with indigenous yeast fermentations and minimal oak influence.

Yes, another one of those threads about TF4, but shut up and hear me out.
I think the idea of having the next movie without humans might be cool, but I seriously doubt it would happen. The reason it would not happen is because people who are not into Transformers would most likely not even go see the movie if there was no human interactions with robots, drama, and of course a hot chick.
With that said, I also remember Shia saying in one of the interviews that he's not sure he would be returning to another TF movie (if there was one) because there was nothing he could do for the character of Sam. Of course, Shia is just an actor, he doesn't make decisions or write the story.
The way I think they could have him back in next TF movie is if he becomes a NEST soldier. In ROTF he didn't want to have anything to do with Autobots and Decepticons issues, however, in DOTM he's lost and doesn't know what else to be in life after college. Also, given that he has two Decepticon kills under his belt (Megatron and Starscream) well that gives him more bad-guy kills than some of the NEST soldiers. So, this opens a chance for a new chapter in his life where he becomes a NEST soldier and the story goes on with humans and Autobots hunting the remaining Decepticons on Earth. Shia is a great actor so he would be able to portray this new Sam.
In the meantime, a new bad guy emerges and he wants to bring more Cybertronians to Earth to make it their home, since Cybertron is gone. Of course, this means getting rid of humans and keeping the planet for themselves and gives the whole story a conflict to work with.
I think this would give writers a lot of flexibility to introduce some new characters, both Cybertronian and human. And just in case Rosie doesn't want to return to the next movie, they could write her off because she doesn't want Sam to be a soldier. I'm perfectly fine with her staying, but just throwing that out.
Just pure speculation...
What you guys think?

I think he'd be a lot more interesting as a character if they went that route. I want to CARE about Sam, but none of the movies have made me care about him at all.

That would be interesting, and probably the only logical route, but I doubt they'd do that. Cause really beyond the fact that the writers didn't want him to, there's no reason Sam shouldn't have enlisted once he was done with college.
Unless Bay and the writers actually want to change things up, if Sam returned he'd be like in DOTM. More spazzing out, lots of screaming, and people treating him like he's still a stupid kid despite him being in his mid 20s with a college degree. With his mother nagging him about all he should care about is pleasing Carly again.
Which is exactly what Shia meant, so hopefully he'll stick to his guns and not come back for yet more of the same.

Exactly. And I think this would give Sam opportunity to be more "involved" with the whole conflict, rather than just beign a messenger and screaming "Optimus!!", "Bumblebee!!", "Ironhide!!", etc - throughout movies

I just think that given his involvement in ROTF and DOTM, they could go with him finally becoming a soldier, rather than just getting another medal.

Sam has never been a "yes sir" type of character.
From the start of the movie franchise he's been rebelling against his parents, rebelling against his girlfriend, and in Dark of the Moon, rebelling against the government. He's kind of run out of things to do - he's saved the world THREE times now, he's with a girl that wants him to succeed at doing what he wants to do as opposed to his ex which wanted him to want her as much as she thought he should.
I honestly foresee a possible "three teenage/young adult" actors/actresses in the next movie, kind of like you see in Transformers Prime, Transformers Armada, and Transformers Cybertron. Two angsty "going to fall in love" teens with a younger sibling. The two older actors get the action, drama, and love scenes, while the younger sibling gets the comedy.
You can't have Optimus Prime be the main focus in the next movie because you need to "rebuild" so to speak. So you have these three kids each have their own Transformer (akin to former series I mentioned earlier) and a "more mature" 4th Transformer to kind of act as their "mentor". Eventually push comes to shove, the new big baddie makes an entrance, and Optimus Prime enters to save the day while each actor and their Transformer has their own plotline throughout the movie.
Bob (teen boy) is reluctant and overly cautious. Thinks this is all unsafe. Storyline has him coming out of his shell, falling for the teen girl, and eventually becoming a hero.
Sally (teen girl) is free-spirited, but not reckless. Has a crush on teen boy but afraid to admit it. Storyline has her speaking her mind instead of hiding her thoughts and feelings, admitting her feelings to teen boy during a moment of peril, and eventually overcoming her own fears and challenges.
Billy (younger brother of teen boy) is picked on for being nerdy and doesn't have many friends. No self-confidence. Storyline has him building self-confidence through the friendship he has with Transformer (new Bumblebee character) and is main comedy relief of the movie. Story for him ends with being the "cool kid" at school and eventually standing up for himself to the bullies.
Overall storyline? New big bad Transformer is coming to Earth with only one purpose - seek revenge for the destruction of Cybertron. Ahead of him are his lieutenants who are trying to find the remaining Autobots and figure out a way to force their hand (ie: kidnap human allies/friends). They eventually do just that and the big bad appears, causing the Transformers to showcase their badassness and for Optimus Prime to enter the movie with a climatic battle.
End of the movie? Optimus Prime is severely damaged, near-death, and only the AllSpark can save him. Someone with knowledge of the AllSpark appears (Sam cameo?) and mentions that there's still one piece of the AllSpark but getting it won't be easy ... it's in the hands of the humans that have aligned themselves with the Decepticons.
Sets up movie 2 perfectly as the three humans agree that Optimus Prime saved them and their world - now they want to return the favor.
Just random late night thoughts.

In DOTM he was working at accuretta systems which was supposed to help him get a job at nasa or something since he was into technology. However its possible they could have contacts inside NEST and get him a job as a NEST soldier . Mean while introduce Jason statham or whoever as the new lead character or characters and have sam as a secondary character. Id love for sam as a nest soldier to be a consultant to optimus prime and the gang and have 3 kids like in transformers prime like suggested above. I think it could work .

After 35 years with the district, principal Sue Stoops will walk through the doors of Challenger K-8 School of Science and Mathematics today for the final time, her legacy of creating and maintaining high-achieving schools forever cemented.
But before we get to that, there's the small issue of her unmistakable bias.
Stoops is and always has been an unwavering, unflappable and definitely unapologetic Florida Gators fan.
It's pretty obvious, to say the least.
As Challenger's first and only principal since it opened in 2005, Stoops helped shape every facet of the fledgling school's identity. So it should come as no surprise that the school colors are orange and blue. Or that the mascot is an alligator, or that the flag is striped blue and orange with a little gator on it, or that the school's mascot is the Navigator.
Insidious, no?
But all gators aside, few administrators with the Hernando school district have left such an indelible mark on a single school.
Stoops has put her stamp on everything at Challenger, from the focus on science and math, to the electives in forensics and marine biology, to the teachers. She even chose the carpeting and furniture.
"You'll never not be here," social studies teacher Chris King told Stoops on Tuesday as she said goodbye to a group of students. "You're in the walls of this place."
Stoops, 66, started teaching in Hernando County in 1968 at what was then Brooksville Junior High School.
Fresh out of the University of Florida, she taught seventh-grade science.
"She was an outstanding teacher. Just phenomenal," said Springstead High School principal Susan Duval, who started teaching with her in 1969. "The kids had a good time in her classroom, but also learned."
She taught there for eight years before leaving the field to focus on raising her children.
She started working part time at the now-shuttered Rogers Christmas House Village. Part time turned into full time. Full time turned into overtime, she joked, and all of a sudden 10 years had passed.
She traveled the world — Europe, Asia — on buying trips for the Christmas House and was deeply involved in designing the holiday pieces, decorating the rooms and designing the trees.
But her practical nature eventually kicked in: She needed to get on a retirement plan.
In 1986, she came back as the school district's coordinator of health and drug education, spending eight years in that position.
After that, her ascension to principal came quickly.
She was transferred from the district office to Spring Hill Elementary to become an assistant principal. A few months later, she moved to Brooksville Elementary to do the same job. Within just a short time, she was named principal at that school.
"It was kind of a baptism by fire," she said.
When Stoops took over at Brooksville Elementary in 1995, the school was struggling badly.
It had the lowest test scores among the district's elementary schools, the highest truancy rate and probably the highest discipline rate, she said.
That changed.
"Together we brought that school up from the lowest-performing school to one of the three top-performing elementary schools in the county," she said.
She implemented the fundamental school program in world studies. She instituted the district's first school uniform policy. She pushed for more parent involvement.
"I used to pay for taxis to go pick moms up and bring them to school," Stoops said. "We'd take the school bus and go into their neighborhoods, and the teachers would meet with parents when they couldn't come to us.
And she helped bring Brooksville up to an A grade.
"Coming from where we were, that was monumental progress," she said. "The staff worked very, very hard."
In 2005, Stoops left to lead the soon-to-be-opened Challenger, the district's first K-8 school.
For six months, she worked with architects and facilities management on the school.
"I had to order every piece of furniture that's in here," she said. "I had never furnished a 300,000-square-foot home. But I really felt like I took the same pains picking out stuff here that I would do for myself."
She was adamant about not having rows of desks, opting instead for tables where students could learn together and work in teams.
She made sure the science rooms were equipped to be labs.
"Her attention to detail is phenomenal," Duval said. "She was involved in every aspect in the design and construction of that school."
Under Stoops' leadership, Challenger has always been an A school.
But there's more than that.
The school is ranked second in the state for combination K-8 schools in terms of its students' scores on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. It's in the top 2 percent, overall, for all elementary and middle schools.
Stoops takes none of the credit.
"I attribute it to the teachers, totally," she said. "They're just incredibly good teachers."
She says her role as principal is quite simple: Do whatever is possible for teachers so they can do the most for kids in their classrooms.
"I love that part of being a principal," she said. "I don't like being the boss."
Room by room, Stoops said goodbye to Challenger's middle-school students Tuesday morning.
At first, she seemed to struggle to get it out.
"I'm just trying to get to all the middle-schoolers to say goodbye," she said.
A teacher translated for her: Principal Stoops is retiring, she told the class.
One girl rushed forward to give her a hug. Then another. Then a dozen more. Then everybody.
They giggled, smashing in closer.
The same scene unfolded again and again as she moved on to other classes.
Hugs. Giggles. Teachers fighting back tears.
"She is the school," said Jennifer Squillante, a middle-school math teacher. "I don't know what we'll do without her. I don't even want to think about it."

Related stories: Vincent Bonsignore: USC's struggles show in Sun Bowl loss to Georgia Tech | Sun Bowl Live Blog: USC vs. Georgia Tech | Sun Bowl Final: USC 7 - 21 Georgia Tech | Photos of the Sun Bowl
USC offered one of its worst offensive performances in history on Monday and pretty much summed up an awful season with a 21-7 loss to Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl before 47,922 at Sun Bowl Stadium.
The Trojans (7-6) managed just four first downs in the first three quarters. School records only went back to 1962 and showed seven first downs against Washington in 1990 as the fewest.USC eventually got its seventh midway through the fourth quarter.
This loss was even worse than the 1998 Sun Bowl, when TCU beat USC 28-19. The Horned Frogs featured future NFL star LaDainian Tomlinson. This Georgia Tech team featured no such stars.
But it appeared the Yellow Jackets were more fired up for the game, especially after Coach Paul Johnson yanked his team from a joint dinner earlier in the week because the Trojans were late.
The Trojans' season was personified on Georgia Tech's third touchdown that gave the Yellow Jackets a 21-7 lead.
The Trojans got down to the Georgia Tech 4-yard line in the fourth quarter but Wittek was intercepted in the end zone.
The first half was unimpressive as neither team looked sharp, perhaps because of the wind.
USC tailback Silas Redd caught a nine-yard pass from Wittek and dove into the end zone to tie the game, 7-7. That followed Georgia Tech quarterback Vad Lee's 3-yard touchdown pass to David Sims that gave the Yellow Jackets a 7-0 lead.
Kyle Negrete's low line-drive punt is scooped up by Jamal Golden and he runs 57 yards through the coverage down to the USC 1-yard line. Quarterback Tevin Washington scores two plays later and the Yellow Jackets are back on top.
Notes: USC coach Lane Kiffin chewed out kicker Andre Heidari for standing at midfield and posing with his arms on his chest after the opening kickoff. Kiffin followed Heidari to the USC bench and missed the first play of the game to angrily confront Heidari for not going downfield to tackle.
Heidari kicked a 37-yard field goal that was initially ruled good by an official, who was then overruled by the replay official. The replay showed he missed the kick wide left.
USC wide receiver Marqise Lee lined up as a rusher on USC's punt return coverages.
