Former RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie's very different rescue plan revealed
Sources close to former RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie have revealed his plans to save the company before he was shown the door, a plan that didn't involve handsets. He'd entered into talks with AT&T, Verizon and several European carriers to offer them use of the company's BlackBerry-exclusive network to provide limited data plans to featurephone users that included social networking and BBM — with the aim of reducing the cellphone operators data burden and coaxing users to upgrade to smartphones. The company was working on Mobile Fusion; software that allowed enterprise and government users on iOS and Android devices to join RIM's system, which reportedly earns the company $1 billion per quarter. However, while talks progressed, company execs grew nervous and ousted him in favor of Thorsten Heins with a mandate to focus on BB10 and new devices rather than turning RIM into a service company. However, given that it's still losing money on its handset business, Heins has reopened the door to Balsillie's plan. It's just a shame Balsillie himself is keeping quiet, as we'd love to hear his thoughts in an executive-level edition of How Would you Change.

All about fresh, flavorful food
by Ariel Tilson
Holiday Baking, Christmas, Winter, Gift Ideas, Biscotti, Recipes
This year, like most people, I've had to get creative with my gift-giving. (It was either that or take out a school loan to buy holiday presents.) Thankfully before I started emptying my wallet and adding to my debt, a friend suggested I forego my grand gift-buying and budget with some baking.
My first choice was biscotti for a number of reasons: I'm not an experienced baker, so I'm easily overwhelmed with too many recipes. Buying simple biscotti ingredients will hopefully save me some money. Plus, biscotti seem to last longer than other baked goods, which will put less pressure on my family and friends to scarf them before New Year's. Instead, if they have the perseverance, they can lengthen their biscotti indulgence far past the twelfth day of Christmas. And each time they take a–hopefully–delicious bite, they'll think of me!

This gift idea won't only be enjoyable for my friends and family but for me too. Instead of agonizing over the perfect gift or wasting time circling the mall, which is only fun for about an hour, I can spend the day playing festive tunes and baking my cares away. To make my gift even more special, I'll pack it in a decorative, airtight container to keep it fresh, add a nice coffee mug and, most importantly, include a copy of the recipe.
Here are some of the recipes I can't wait to try:
• Chocolate-Almond Biscotti
• Orange Biscotti with Basil
• Lemon or Anise Basil Biscotti
• Almond-Fennel Biscotti
• Rosemary-Almond Biscotti
Do you have any biscotti-baking tips to share with me? What are some of your favorite gift-giving ideas? Leave me a comment and let me know!

McCrory still undecided on tax reform details
Eliminating state income tax still on table
North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory says he's still working through what tax reform plan he'll support and hasn't slammed the door on trying to eliminate the state's income tax.
McCrory told reporters Thursday after a speech to North Carolina municipal leaders in Raleigh his administration is examining several tax overhaul options, but he hasn't decided which one he'll choose.
The new governor said during the 2012 campaign he'd like to see corporate and individual income tax rates fall to levels competitive with neighboring states. He said Thursday the idea of eliminating those taxes remains on the table but he's got to be realistic about what can be implemented.
McCrory's top budget adviser on Wednesday said he personally had "great concerns" about a pitch by Senate Republicans to abolish income taxes.

Sighting Details
On July 4th 2014 in Michigan, at around 9:00 p.m., went out to back yard to watch county fireworks from about 4 miles away. Around the end of the show at about 10:15 p.m. I noticed 3 stationary objects in the sky West of where the fireworks were taking place. They appeared about the size of a pea. I thought they were some kind of airplanes or helicopters until I noticed that they just hung there in the sky for quite some time not moving at all. These objects were lined up in a straight line (North to South) and appeared equidistant from each other. Around 10:30 pm the farthest North object started to leave going North probably about 3 or 4 miles then turned West and disappeared. The other two objects remained stationary for a short time then started to move. The middle object headed West and disappeared,the South object left in a South-East direction coming around almost directly to my South side and about 3 miles away. This object hovered stationary for about 4 minutes before returning to the original position. The middle object then returned to it's original position and the North object returned as well. They were lined up just as at the beginning. Next, the South object moved over to the middle object and just above it so they appeared to be stacked on top of each other. By this time I realized that this is not typical behavior of airplanes. I then ran back into the house, grabbed my camera and back out to the adjoining park next to my house to get pictures. The objects were now starting to make a number of movements back and forth, out and back and I tried my best to get stable photos. What really seemed weird was that when I would get the objects in the frame on my camera, they would simply disappear out of sight. I took several photos with the same result. Have never had that happen before with anything. The objects then started to leave going up and off in different directions. As the middle object rose straight up I managed to get it in the screen of my camera and did get a picture, the only one as they all left. This was about 10:50 pm. I went directly inside and downloaded the pictures to my computer. The first few pictures were just pictures of the dark sky and stars, no objects at all but then I noticed one had a small reddish object in the middle, sure enough I managed to capture at least one picture of the objects which I posted here.

You will find out EXACTLY what law enforcement managers and police assessment centers want to KNOW ABOUT YOU BEFORE THEY DECIDE TO PROMOTE (or NOT PROMOTE) YOU!
The LEPTAD contains OVER 100 closely-guarded opinion,
scenario and judgment questions in the following 8 categories:
• Dedication to the Law Enforcement Agency and Profession

of our Promotion Testing Course can also take our
example online In-Basket Assessment - a timed, 90 minute, difficult, 12+ item
promotional in-basket originally designed for a Lieutenant/Captain
promotion process. Regardless of rank you are testing for, this practice
in-basket will identify your problem analysis,
organizational ability, decisiveness, initiative, judgment and
your other supervisory and management knowledge and skills. You
can use this in-basket exercise to practice with as often as you
Think in-basket assessments are EASY? They're NOT, and you'll see why.
You don't just read a few phone messages and emails and jot down a few notes.
An in-basket assessment you will undergo for a police promotion contains pages and pages of background material and takes a great deal of concentration and organizational ability, and the ability to work quickly under pressure.
You must also study pages of material such as background narrative, complicated work scenarios, schedules, calendars and organizational charts, and you must take accurate and detailed notes.
Then you are presented with a detailed scenario along with 10 to 20 in-basket items, all the while a clock is ticking down the time.
Here are some of the dimensions you are
graded on in an in-basket assessment center exercise;
> Comprehension ability
> Written communication ability
> Verbal communication ability
> Planning and organization
> Problem analysis
> Ability to take risks
> Judgment
> Decisiveness
> Delegation
> Initiative
At the conclusion of the in-basket you are interviewed by the assessors. Your notes are reviewed and discussed with you, and you are judged on how quickly and thoroughly you analyze the material and scenarios, how quickly and accurately you complete the many items in the assessment, how accurate and complete your written notes are, and how well you verbalize your analysis, actions, conclusions and responses to the assessors.
Finally, your overall rating also takes into account how thorough and knowledgeable you were on your analysis and action on each item, and whether you properly delegated or handled the material.
Do you know that 1/3 - 1/2 of police promotional candidates FAIL their first in-basket assessment because they walk in, unprepared, thinking it will be EASY? They are then shocked and surprised at what they find. Don't be one of these candidates. PREPARE NOW.
You will ALSO receive - FREE - these best-selling books and bonus items ready for immediate download:

An attempt to help a friend resulted in a former Marietta daycare provider receiving three years community control sanctions and 17 days in the Washington County Jail from Judge Randall Burnworth Thursday afternoon.
Deidra Fouss, 51, plead guilty on March 27 to selling 35 Vicodin pills out of her home, 722 Fifth St., Marietta, in October 2012. She operated the home as a daycare for area children and was originally charged with a third-degree felony trafficking in drugs at the time of her arrest.
Throughout the case, Fouss stated she was simply giving the drugs to a friend who said he was in pain and needed the medication. She reiterated that Thursday, and expressed remorse at the time of her sentencing.
"I just want to say I'm sorry," Fouss said. "I was just trying to help somebody...I've always been taught to help those who need help."
According to police, Fouss sold the 35 Vicodin pills to a confidential informant of the Major Crimes Task Force. The sale took place with three children in the daycare home at the time.
Fouss accepted $140 in payment for the pills, and restoration for the purchase was required to the Major Crimes Task Force as well as court costs as part of the sentencing.
Fouss' attorney, Dennis Sipe, said the woman was merely trying to help her friend, who offered her payment for the pills she offered to give him to help ease his pain.
"A very pleasant lady, who unfortunately simply didn't appreciate, I think, that helping a friend was going to be a large criminal act," Sipe said.
As part of her plea agreement, the charges against Fouss were lowered to a fifth-degree felony and a bill of information between the parties was arranged with her spending three years under community control sanctions.
A fifth-degree felony carries a maximum of 18 months in jail.
"If you end up violating your community control, the court will end up imposing a prison sentence of 12 months in Marysville," Burnworth warned.
With no prior record, Burnworth and Sipe both said they doubt Fouss will appear in the court system again.
In addition to the jail time, for which she was credited two days already served, Sipe said the woman has suffered severe economic harm as she has lost her daycare license and throughout the process she has cooperated fully with authorities.
"I would agree with the judge and her," Sipe said. "I will be surprised if she's back in court. I would be very surprised."

Bravo, Mojo, goodo jobo! (Sorry, it started and I couldn't make it quito! STOP it!)
There was, once upon a time, a pattern on Ravelry and I was hot to buy it because it was better than any of the others I'd found. But nowhere on the Ravelry page was there a link to be found or any other indication of how one might purchase this fine knitting pattern. So in the fullness of time (actually just a couple of days) I emailed the designer to inquire as to its availability. And regrettably, the makers of the Angry Birds video game took exception to this work and not for nothin' would they license it for sale.
Rovio was brilliant to give away a game that became a craze and then cash in on the marketing that it created though I suspect there was a fair bit of luck involved as well. It seems to me that you can make Angry Birds items as much as you want as long as you don't sell them; you can give away patterns and the things you've made as long as no profit is involved. I guess if someone wanted to put together a kit and sell the yarn but included the pattern for free it might be allowed. Selling the pattern would be the big no no. Copyrighting an Angry Birds pattern wouldn't be possible either. At least there can't be a copyright infringement for you to deal with. Just never, ever sell an Angry Birds item. Could you charge for your time to make it? I'd seen that pattern and considered buying it but had figured out that selling the pattern was going to be a violation of something and didn't even try. I wonder if the Angry Birds folk will frequent craft sales and such to watch for someone to pounce on.
Cheating is an option. . . . Cheaters never win and winners never cheat, but smart knitters who want to retain an iota of sanity do, cheerfully. ~~Kory Stamper

Sausage Rolls
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 30 mins
This is appetizer/snack is very popular in Australia. It was introduced there by English settlers. I know you will be tempted to jazz these up with herbs or onion, well go right ahead! Sometimes simple is better, though. The original recipe calls for shortcrust pastry, but I use frozen puff pastry for ease.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 7 ounces shortcrust pastry or 1 sheet puff pastry
- 8 ounces bulk sausage
- flour, for dusting
- milk, for glazing
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Roll pastry out into a thin rectangle; cut lengthwise into 2 long strips.
- Divide sausage into 2 portions, dust with flour, and form long rolls about the same length as the pastry.
- Place sausage in the middle of the pastry strips; brush pastry edges with milk, then seal long edge.
- Brush the two pastries with milk, then slice into 1 to 2 inch rounds.
- Place rounds on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees F; reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake until puffed and golden, about an additional 10 to 15 minutes.

These were wonderful! I will be making these all the time for appetizers. We ate them with our dinner last night and had some friends drop by later on who just ate them cold off the counter! I offered to heat them up, but he just kept eating and said "no, these are great!" Made for ZWT6
Oh wow! I made them with puff pastry, and the wonderful greasy richness of the sausage mixed with the puff pastry made a great little appetizer/snack. Do make sure you slightly overlap the puff pastry and use the milk to seal, some of mine 'opened up'. Still tasty, but didn't look as good. My future SIL put some maple syrup in the 'ugly' ones and said it was a great way to eat them too. FYI - I tried to make them with pie dough earlier. Stick with the puff pastry, it is easy, quick and tasty. Doesn't get better than that! Thanks threeovens! Made for Aus/NZ swap #69.
I make these all the time using the exact same recipe. I wanted to recommend to anyone interested to use specialty flavored sausages for a variety of flavors. I get specialty brats (sun dried tomato, jerk seasoned, chicken and wild rice) remove the casing and use in my rolls, they are easy to make and always a hit.
Also proof that my people's food is delicious if prepared right!

Brief History of Calypso
A BRIEF HISTORY OF CALYPSO IN TRINIDAD – by Marcus Mayers
Trinidad was discovered by Columbus in 1498 (he named the island for the Christian Holy Trinity) and was ruled by Spain for virtually 300 years, remaining one of her most 'underdeveloped' American possessions. Only in the 1770s, with the 'Bourbon reforms' of Charles III - designed to rejuvenate flagging colonial efficiency - did the Spanish crown pay attention to this thinly-populated, almost uncultivated, Caribbean island.
A Cedula issued by the Spanish monarch in 1776 highlighted the island's neglected state:
With no European Spaniards available for emigration, it invited West Indian French Catholics dissatisfied by Britain's
1763 take-over of their Antillean islands - Grenada, Dominica, St Vincent, Tobago to settle in Trinidad. They were encouraged by land grants to set up agricultural units under their own management and to transfer slaves in quantity to work these plantations.
The French brought Carnival to Trinidad, and calypso competitions at Carnival grew in popularity, especially after the abolition of slavery in 1834. While most authorities stress the African roots of calypso, in his 1986 book Calypso from France to Trinidad, 800 Years of History veteran calypsonian The Roaring Lion (Rafael de Leon) asserted that calypso descends from the music of the medieval French troubadours.
Internationally, Trinidad and Tobago is best known as the birthplace of calypso music.1950s stars Lord Kitchener (Aldwyn Roberts) and Mighty Sparrow (Slinger Francisco). Lord Kitchener (1922-2000) was known as the "Grandmaster" of calypso. By the time of his death, only the Mighty Sparrow and the Roaring Lion had reached a similar level of respect.
Lord Kitchener ("Kitch"), the Grandmaster, was born April 18, 1922, as Aldwyn Roberts in Arima, Trinidad and Tobago ("T&T "), into a family of six. His father was a successful blacksmith in Arima. Kitch attended the Arima Boys Gov't School between the ages of 5 and 14, when he was forced to leave school following the death of his parents. When in 1944 the then 21-year-old Aldwyn Roberts climbed the calypso stage at the Victory Tent with the name of "Lord Kitchener", it would not have been surprising if most of the patrons that night saw him as a "passing cloud'; as someone who might cause laughter, even get an encore, but who, like dozens of other youngsters, might disappear from the scene just as suddenly as he appeared. Few would have dreamed that like the Lord Kitchener from whom he took his name, he would prove formidable, hard to defeat, long lasting, successful, and much honored. It was his two big songs of 1946, recording events of 1945, which at once made him one of the most popular singers of the day. The first called "Yes, I Heard the Beat of a Steel band", was the first calypso to take notice of the pan-beating young men at a time when society was hostile to them, seeing them as idle noise-makers.
This calypso captured the steel band's position at a historic moment, and underlined Kitchener's fascination with the pan - a fascination that was to last to the end of his life. After the 1947 Carnival season, Kitchener traveled to Aruba, Curacao and Jamaica. In 1948 he left Jamaica on the Empire Windrush, a ship that marked the beginning of large-scale Caribbean migration to Britain. One of the other passengers on that M.V. Windrush was Egbert Moore (Lord Beginner). Kitch got an immediate booking at the only West Indian club in London, following his debut on the BBC. Six months later, Kitch was appearing in three clubs nightly, and his popularity extended beyond the West Indian and African night club audiences, to include music hall and variety show audiences. Kitchener remained in England, where he had an active career that included extensive recording for the Parlophone, Melodisc and Lyragon labels. His records were exported in large quantities to the Caribbean, where he remained popular. Some of his records were also popular in West Africa.
After the resounding carnival road marches of 1947 to 1950, when revelers heard "Pharaoh," by King Pharaoh (1947); "Canaan Barrow" by Lord Melody (1948); "Ramgoat Baptism" by the Mighty Wonder (1949), and "In a Calabash" by the Mighty Killer (1950), the Trinidad Carnival experienced such a famine of road marches that it needed a Lord Kitchener to come to the rescue. And Kitchener did answer this call in 1954 with the calypso "Mama Look a Band Passing", the only worthwhile Road March of that period. Andrew Marcano, Calypsonian Brother Superior, once observed that every one in T&T; grew up listening to Kitch. But Kitch is more than a T&T; hero. He is indeed a Caribbean institution and genius who uses wry, saucy lyrics to describe events, personal problems, human frailties and political issues, with equal irony and wit. Over the years, his genius has appealed to commoners and royalty alike. US President Harry S. Truman himself led the applause for Kitchener's "Green Fig." Kitchener returned to Trinidad for the 1963 Carnival and formed the Calypso Revue, which continued as a major tent. Through this tent, he helped many young singers develop their calypso skills.
For decades, Kitchener remained a favorite calypsonian among steelbands, due to the catchy melodies and harmonic complexity of his compositions. Among his many well-known calypsos are "Trouble in Arima," "Mama Dis Is Mas," "My Pussin'" and "Pan in A Minor." Other forms of music include Carnival songs like lavway and leggos, as well as bongo music (which originated at wakes). Highly rhythmic and harmonic vocals characterized the music, which was most often sung in a French creole and led by a griot. As calypso developed, the role of the griot (originally a similar traveling musician in West Africa) became known as a chantuelle and eventually, calypsonian. Early chantwells like Hannibal, Norman Le Blanc, Mighty Panther and Boadicea made names for themselves by criticizing the colonial government.
In 1914 calypso was recorded for the first time and the following decade saw the arrival of calypso tents, where calypsonians practiced and, eventually, new musics for Carnival were exhibited (including lavway and leggos). Calypso emerged as the pre-eminent Carnival song from the end of the nineteenth century and its association with the festival is investigated, as are the first commercial recordings by Trinidad performers. The first vocal recording of a calypso was made in 1914 when the Duke of Iron teamed up with Jules Sims. Prior to this, the first recording of calypso music was an instrumental by a band called Lovey's Orchestra in 1912. American popular songs and jazz also affected calypso's sound, particularly by the 1930s. Calypsonians were always open to new ideas, an orientation in keeping with cosmopolitan attitudes of Trinidad as a whole. From 1915 through the mid-1930s, all recording of calypso occurred in New York.
Among the artists recorded were the pianist/bandleader Lionel Belasco, the vaudevillian Sam Manning and the calypsonian Houdini, all of whom were based in the U.S. In the early days of calypso, calypsonians (singers of calypsos) formed groups and performed at various locations around Trinidad during the months leading up to Carnival. Since these locations were temporary and ceased to exist after Carnival, they were called "tents." Calypsonians took on individual nicknames and the tents were also named. The first calypso tent in Trinidad was the Railway Douglas Tent which opened its doors for business in Port-of-Spain in 1921.
Among the other tents that opened in Port-of-Spain during the 1920s was the Redhead Sailor Tent. Some of the popular calypsonians from the 1920s through the 1930s were: Attila the Hun; Lord Beginner; Lord Caresser; Lord Executor; Mighty Growler; Wilmoth Houdini; Lord Invader; Roaring Lion; King Radio; Growling Tiger; Duke of Iron; Macbeth the Great; Mighty Destroyer; Chieftain Douglas; and Gorilla.
Rafael de Leon was born in Aroquita, in the Caura Hills of northern Trinidad, to a mother named Basalicion de Leon and a father named Arias Cairi Llama. An illegitimate child, Lion spent some of his earliest years in two orphanages, before being taken in, following his mother's illness, by an elderly woman named Miss Charles who lived on Coffee Street in the southwestern city of San Fernando. Lion's personal accounts of his early career vary, but probably debuted '29 in a small beginners' calypso tent in Belmont. Dubbed Lion Flaps '31 by Lord Beginner (Egbert Moore: 1904-- 80); changed to the Roaring Metro Lion '33 when he joined 'Chieftain' Walter Douglas's Railroad Millionaires 'Crystal Palace' tent. Had prevailing unofficial Road March (or leggo as it was known then) most years '34--8 with 'Wanga' '34, 'Advantage Mussolini' '36 (bouncy condemnation of Italian Fascists' '35 invasion of Abyssinia [Ethiopia], set to the melody of Don Azpiaz's international '31 Cuban hit 'El Manisero', 'The Peanut Vendor'), 'Ask No Questions' '36 (recorded in a trio with King Radio and Growling Tiger), 'Netty, Netty' '37, 'Nora Darling' '38.
Early victim of record bans by colonial authorities: 'Netty, Netty' was banned '36 by Commissioner of Police on grounds of 'immorality'; Collector of Customs dumped entire first shipment of the record in Port of Spain Harbour; however the will of Carnival revelers prevailed over censorship the following year when they made 'Netty, Netty' the Road March. Following Atilla's election to Trinidad and Tobago's (T&T) Legislative Council '50, he singled out 'Netty, Netty' in his historical speech '51 attempting to move an amendment to the notorious Theatre and Dance Halls Ordinance '34, used to regulate the performance of calypso during colonial days: 'The police heard ''Netty, Netty, gie me de ting you have in you belly.'' And they said they wanted the words changed to: ''Netty, Netty, give me the article in your abdomen.'' That is a singular injustice' (quote from Hansard).
Lion copped another ban '37 for the alleged obscenity of 'Sally Water'. Despite his brushes with authority, he was hired as official entertainer of Governors and visiting VIPs at T&T's Government House '37--44. Before his departure for England in the early 1950s, Lion had won more Road Marches (then called Leggoes) than any other calypsonian. This record stands till today, albeit that the aficionados from time-to-time seek to create a spurious distinction between the title Road March and Leggo. Upon arriving in England, where he then re-launched his career as an entertainer, Lion lived in the area of London known as West Kensington where at that time a great number of West Indians settled.
Lion went on to own several properties on Fairholme Road in London. Roaring Lion achieved fame for his linguistic prowess as much as for his catchy tunes. His lyrics, delivered in rapid-fire style, show an impeccable command of the English language (as well as Trinidadian slang), and are replete with witty turns of phrase, humorous metaphors, and clever alliterations and internal rhymes. He and Atilla were the first local artists sent to NYC to record '34 by local Portuguese businessman Eduardo SA Gomes; Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee attended the sessions. During the trip Lion performed 'Ugly Woman' on Vallee's network radio show; the appearance celebrated in duo's calypso 'Guests of Rudy Vallee' '38, and entertained President Roosevelt at NYC's Waldorf Astoria Hotel. He continued to record annually in NYC from '36 until sessions were curtailed '42 due to WWII, making 95 slides in total. Roaring Lion continued recording through the 1990s; his later recordings feature electronic and soca backgrounds, though he continued to sing in the classic early calypso style. He was regarded as an elder statesman and historian of calypso music and frequently appeared in the Trinidadian media in this role.

Well, systems connected to your eth1 need to have IP addresses in the

because your bridge won't route them through its eth0.
Why not set up another DHCP server on the eth0 side, like on your
bridge, allocate addresses in another public range (like 192.168.6.0/24
or 172.16.1.0/24) and add the range to the routing table of your bridge?

Although no one knows, it's my birthday today. At 10 past nine, Tim took the wheel for the drive north. He's an excellent driver and I found I could relax and almost catch up on some sleep. We arrived at my house at 4:30, half an hour later Pumpy, Tim and Gizz went to the show. I did laundry, made food and did some office work. Arabella, (From NRA), Charlie, Alvin and I went to pick up Dolores. The show was packed both upstairs and downstairs. It was chaos, no one knew where the dressing room was, we found out after the show, that there was catering in another room. Tonight Tool the tour manager with the felt Viking hat was fired. Rumor has it he then stole the van? Also tonight Pelegro and D.R.I. dropped out of the tour. I'm not sure about D.R.I., but it seems Pelegro were not getting enough money to continue. T.S.O.L.'s tour manager is supposed to be taking over the Social Chaos tour managing. Another tour casualty is Mick Ronson look-a-like, Dave Martin who seems to have suffered some sort of breakdown. He fly's home tomorrow. The show went quite well and was shot on video. Later Alvin stayed at Arabella's house, I stayed at Dolores's and the rest of the band stayed at my house.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Shane Carden's 1-yard touchdown run in the second overtime Friday lifted East Carolina over Marshall 65-59 and kept the Pirates' Conference USA title hopes alive and the Thundering Herd will not be bowl eligible.
The Pirates (8-4, 7-1) will advance to play Tulsa for the league championship if Alabama-Birmingham beats Central Florida on Saturday.
Carden scored after three straight runs by Vintavious Cooper took the ball down to the Marshall 1.
East Carolina had stopped a Marshall possession earlier in the overtime when Chrishon Rose forced a fumble at the 11 by Essray Taliaferro and Derrell Johnson recovered it.
A 25-yard touchdown pass from Carden to Andrew Bodenheimer gave East Carolina a lead on the first play of overtime, but the Thundering Herd (5-7, 4-4) answered with a 4-yard Blake Frohnapfel scoring pass to Antavious Wilson after Taliaferro converted a fourth-and-1 with a 4-yard run.
Frohnapfel took over at quarterback for Marshall after Rakeem Cato suffered an injury to his lower left leg midway through the third quarter. He completed 12 of 15 passes for 101 yards and raced 51 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown, the longest run allowed by East Carolina this season.

Carden drove the Pirates 76 yards in 11 plays to tie the game with 4 seconds left in regulation on a 6-yard pass to Danny Webster.
The drive, which started with 1:55 left, included three completions to Justin Hardy, who caught a school-record 16 passes for 171 yards, fourth-best in East Carolina history. His 1,046 receiving yards for the season is also fourth-best in school history.
The 124 combined points were the most ever in a Conference USA game, although the two schools combined for 125 in the 2001 GMAC Bowl, when Marshall played in the Mid-America Conference. The Thundering Herd won that one 64-61 in two overtimes.
East Carolina's 65 points were its fourth-highest total ever and the most it has scored since a 66-23 victory over East Tennessee State in 1981.
Marshall's 59 points were the most it has ever scored in a loss.
Carden completed 38 of 47 passes for 439 yards and three touchdowns and ran for three more, including the deciding score in overtime.
His first two touchdown runs helped stake the Pirates to a 28-7 second-quarter lead.
The Thundering Herd rallied to trail 35-28 at halftime after three second-quarter touchdown passes by Cato. He threw five in the game, tying his career high, and his 318 passing yards before being injured gave the sophomore 4,201 for the season. It was the fourth time a Marshall quarterback has surpassed 4,000 yards.
Tommy Shuler caught 14 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns for Marshall, giving the sophomore a school-record 110 for the season.
Taliaferro, in his first start this season, rushed for 130 yards on 27 carries for the Thundering Herd.

"The Muskegon Police Department is asking for assistance from the public to help identify a driver involved in a Pedestrian involved Hit and Run accident involving an infant.
At 1029 hrs, June 25, 2013, officers of the Muskegon Police Department were dispatched to 1500 S. Getty St on a report of a Car versus Pedestrian Hit and Run accident. Officers arrived on scene and met with the 18 yr old victim and her 1 yr old son.
The victim had been walking her infant in a stroller when a Gold, Pontiac Mini-Van with a damaged windshield, driven by an African-American male in his late teens or early 20's, backed out of a parking space and struck the victim. The victim was knocked down, suffering minor abrasions. The victim's son sitting in a stroller, which had become caught in the bumper of the vehicle, was dragged by the vehicle. Despite pleas for the offender to stop, the vehicle continued to move forward, dragging the infant and stroller. The mother was able to run to the stroller and remove her child from it before the vehicle fled Northbound on Getty St with the stroller dragging behind.
The victim's son fortunately suffered only minor abrasion injuries."
Muskegon Police Department
Muskegon police are looking for this driver. He backed his van into a woman as she was pushing her baby in a stroller and then started to drive off.
He briefly stops when he sees the mom running, but as soon as she frees the one year old boy the man drove off.
Fortunately the child wasn't hurt and the mom scraped her knee. This happened in Muskegon at the end of June. Police have released this video in hopes that someone can identify the driver.

It seems that the peeps at P&G realised that this whole 'social media' thing was something they needed to get their heads across. What better way to do it than invite 40 of the best geeks from the Valley and stage a 4 hour social-media hack-a-thon exercise for charity.
40 executives from the Valley were invited down to meet with a hundred P&G marketers to help them get their heads around social media. They played in teams and competed to see which group could sell the most Tide t-shirts using only a thousand bucks and any social media tool they could get their hands on. All proceeds went to charity.
For those of you who haven't yet read the story on P&G's Digital Hack Night here's a couple of links:

I suggest taking advantage of shared resource like database. A scheme like
the following:
o upon login check the user if they already exists in the database
o if they exists, stop
o otherwise, upon login write the username to the database
o upon logout / session time out remove the user from the database

Galveston Island is well known for its beautiful beaches, but few non-islanders know about the various wetland areas there that are natural habitats for spectacular birds and other wildlife. My daughter made a video of several island habitats, and dedicated the video to the composer of the music she used in the video. Viewing the video at the link below, you will be able to see many birds in action at the site of this letterbox! The box was placed during a drought, so the area was dry and overgrown with vegetation at the time, but is wet and wonderful most of the year. If you like to watch wildlife, they are most active here in the early morning and late evening. Enjoy!
If coming into Galveston from the mainland, go south on I-45. When crossing over Galveston Bay on the causeway bridge, take the first exit and turn Left onto Harborside Drive. Stay on Harborside, and turn right onto 77th street at a lighted intersection. Go over 4 railroad tracks. You can park on the left (East) side of the street in a dirt/grass lot beside fenced areas.
If you are in Galveston, head toward the causeway on Broadway, and take first exit after 61st. Turn right onto 77th Street by the auto dealership. You can park on the right (East) side of the street in a dirt/grass lot beside fenced areas.
The camo box is behind a yellow "Pipeline" post across the street from the fenced property about 1-2 feet from the pavement. Watch out for ants and prickly natural vegetation!
This is a hybrid box with both a Letterbox bag and a Geocache bag in it. Please leave the items in the Geocache bag. Thanks :)
Update 1/2012: the site has been heavily bushwacked, but the letterbox is still in same place.
Update 10/2012: the letterbox stamp is missing. Until I make a replacement stamp, I can send you a virtual stamp of the original image.
Update 5/2013: Put in a newly carved stamp, same figure but a little larger.

Faculty Research in the News
Wang NY Times Article Sparks Great Public Interest
- Details
- Posted on November 26, 2007
Professor Sam Wang has co-authored a widely read opinion editorial in the New York Times, "Exercise On The Brain." The article, which was published on Thursday, November 8, links exercise to improved brain function in later life. He debunks the idea that brain exercises such as puzzles or computer games, which are multimillion-dollar industries, are the most effective means of maintaining general brain function.
The article was popular immediately and eventually became the most-emailed article of the past 30 days. "Although the benefits of exercise for brain function are well known to neuroscientists, the idea seems not to have seeped into popular consciousness," says Professor Wang, who has a joint appointment in Molecular Biology and the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. "It's just one of many discoveries about the brain that have an practical impact on everyday life but aren't widely known." The op-ed was co-authored by Dr. Sandra Aamodt, editor of Nature Neuroscience. The subject of exercise and the brain is one of many topics to be covered in their upcoming book "Welcome To Your Brain: Why You Lose Your Car Keys But Never Forget How to Drive and Other Puzzles of Everyday Life," to be published in March 2008. It will also appear in 14 translations worldwide.

Nevada Wolf Pack Track & Field
April 25, 2014
Berkeley, Calif. -
Action wrapped up for the Wolf Pack at the Brutus Hamilton Open Friday evening. The Pack brings home three first place finishes, and 10 top ten finishes. Five athletes posted personal bests at the competition.
The Pack had three javelin throwers post personal best marks at the meet with Raffaela Wiesbeck winning the event with a mark of 149'8". Alyssa Zunino was third with a mark of 136'11", and Savanna Haverfield was fifth with a mark of 120'4". Wiesbeck's mark was a two inch improvement on her previous best and is the tenth best mark in school history. Zunino improved her personal best by 6 inches, and Haverfield improved her best mark by 2'5".
Nevada had two athletes in the shot put finish in the top five. Senior Kerri Simmons won the event after she threw for a mark of 48'1.25", and Kennedy Hall finished in third with a throw of 41'5".
Leah Carter picked up a first place finish for the Wolf Pack in the high jump by clearing a height of 5'5".
Running in the 1,500-meter, senior Julie Pedersen finished sixth overall with a time of 17:26.75. Her time is a new personal best and the 14th best in the Mountain West this season.
Alison Powers and Caitlin Owen were back in action in the pole vault finishing in fourth and seventh place respectively. Powers cleared a height of 11'5.75" and Owen cleared a height of 10'11.75" to tie her personal best mark.
Anne Underwood set a new personal best time of 2:15.78 in the 800-meter dash on her way to a fourth place finish. Racing alongside Underwood was freshman Reighan Fisher whose time of 2:18.03 was good enough for seventh place overall.
Competing in the 400-meter dash was senior Shanee Martin who finished in fifth place with a time of 57.85. Katelin Westerterp recorded a sixth place finish in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:07.42.
The Pack had two hurdlers in the 100-meter hurdles as Fiyin Olusola finished in second place with a time of 14.64, and Jenifer Delucchi collected a sixth place finish clocking in at 15.93.
"We competed amazingly well considering the cold, wind, and rain. We are really proud of the way the athletes competed today! Raffy Weisbeck got the chance to compete in front of her family who came from Germany to see her compete. Her performance and subsequent win stole the show. After making an adjustment to her approach she threw a season best mark."
The Wolf Pack is off next weekend but will be back in action the following weekend at the Payton Jordan Invitational hosted by Stanford University.

I ran the San Diego Rock n Roll Marathon while wearing a POV (point-of-view) camera to film the race and somehow managed to run the race in under 4 hours, with a negative split of 10 minutes. This was my first major marathon, so I had never run with so many people before. It was like the entire San Diego endurance sports community was either out running the race or cheering from somewhere along the way. It was powerful stuff, and I had a blast out there. Here's a shot of my buddies in their post-race pose-down (three no-longer-marathon virgins in this picture):

(Giselle, Noelle, Austin and Jake)
The 230+ miles I logged in May
which included a couple road marathons and tons of hilly run-commutes with a backpack onfatigued my legs and compromised my biomechanics. Im now nursing an overuse injury in my hip area that was inflamed all of last week. After soliciting some advice, I got ART and massage work done and was also prescribed cross-training. Im going at full tilt with two sessions per day and a rotation of yoga classes (heated to 90 degrees), pool swimming (kick board work too), 1-hour elliptical sessions (with sweatsuit for heat training), lower-body resistance training, myrtl routine , cycling, ActiveX, and LSD runs (long slow distance). I'm happy to report that inflammation and tightness are already gone, so I'll be attempting to get some quality miles in the weekend on the PCT out of Warner Springs.
Last Saturday, I went on a mellow 30-mile ride along the 101 with my buddy Nick and then drove out east to Cuyamaca State Park with my friend Kam to volunteer at the SD100. We hung glowsticks along the trail between miles 58 to 70. We ran the whole way, but stopped often (80 times!) to hang the glowsticks. This completed my trail work required to participate at the VT100. It was pretty cool to be at the event as a volunteer and see how much work goes in to putting on an ultra marathon. I respect all that volunteers, crews, pacers and event directors do for us athletes. It was also a treat to run along the beautiful PCT and encourage the passing runners and their pacers (some solo). They all thanked us for hanging the glow sticks. It was a really cool experience.
Visit my photo site to see the album. Here is my favorite shot from the day:
!http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2475/3604680978_2c5bdd6cdb.jpg|height=375|alt=truth and beauty|width=500|src=http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2475/3604680978_2c5bdd6cdb.jpg!
Im going to attempt to run long this weekend, but I have no idea how peak training is going to play out because of my hip. Ill be sure to post a report next week once Im back from the ActiveX Charity Challenge Endurance Camp . Also, check in next week for more on my "peak training" (And yes, pun intendedyoull see).

"Look'ee here, Pip. I'm your second father. You're my son—more to me nor any son. I've put away money, only for you to spend." (39.67)
Magwitch may treat Pip like a long lost friend/brother/son, but Pip doesn't necessarily requite the sentiment—he doesn't value friendships that don't fit into his little vision of the future.

CBS resurrects 'Let's Make a Deal'
CBS will fill the void left by the departure of "Guiding Life" with an updated version of the venerable game show "Let's Make a Deal."
Wayne Brady will step into Monty Hall's shoes hosting the new "Let's Make a Deal," which will premiere on Monday, Oct. 5 in whatever time slot "Guiding Light" has been occupying in your particular area.
CBS announced the new "Let's Make a Deal" on Monday (Aug. 3) in a press release that contains quotes from nearly everybody involved.
"Wayne Brady is a unique talent whose extraordinary skills in both hosting and improvisation make him the perfect choice to host this legendary and engaging show. We are thrilled to be adding him and 'Let's Make a Deal' to the number one Daytime lineup," says Barbara Bloom Senior Vice President, Daytime Programs, CBS. "We're also very lucky to have Monty Hall as our creative consultant, bringing with him a knowledge of game shows that will prove invaluable as we present this classic game show to a whole new audience."
The new "Let's Make a Deal" comes from the reliable folks at FremantleMedia North America, whose credits include "American Idol" and CBS' "The Price Is Right."
"We're very pleased to bring this franchise back to American audiences," says Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of FremantleMedia North America. "A global brand with a proven track record, 'Let's Make a Deal' is a game show that delivers the kind of upbeat, unpredictable and aspirational fun viewers are looking for. With the multi-talented Wayne Brady as our host, the one and only Monty Hall at our side and a great network timeslot, we're confident this new version will provide the entertainment value that has made this brand resonate around the world for decades."
Monty Hall hosted "Let's Make a Deal" from 1963-1977 and will stick around as a consultant on the new version. Hall, who famously offered ridiculously dressed contestants the choices between various cash and prizes, is even nice enough to endorse his hosting replacement.
"We are delighted to have 'Let's Make a Deal' back on the air with CBS," Hall says. "I know the audience is going to welcome the charming and engaging Wayne Brady as the new host."
Brady, a prolific and predictable hosting choice, has most recently been seen MCing "Don't Forget the Lyrics," "Celebrity Duets" and "That's What I'm Talking About."
"I am honored and ready to go; it is not every day that you get to be a part of a franchise like 'Let's Make a Deal,'" said Wayne Brady. "I think it is a perfect fit."
Mike Richards ("The Price Is Right" will serve as executive producer on the hour-long "Let's Make a Deal."

The eighth Iberoamerican Forum of Governmental Consumer Protection Agencies (FIAGC)
Representatives from UNCTAD presented a draft report containing the results of four working groups on e-commerce, financial services, other issues, and implementation, as well as on the "modalities" for the proposed revision.
Additionally, Ms. Altagracia Paulino, Director of Proconsumidor of the Dominican Republic, presented the contribution of Ibero-American (Spanish and Portuguese speaking) countries to the revision process, which is contained in the draft report.
The resulting Bogotá Declaration, signed by all the consumer protection agencies present, established a working group to contribute to the revision process and to follow up with permanent missions in Geneva so as to ensure the consideration of Ibero-American views in the adoption of a proposed revision.
The Bogotá Declaration also proposed the creation of a United Nations Forum on Consumer Protection.
