Finally - A Leader in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions
After three days of cancellations caused by wild weather in Hawaii, the first round of the PGA Tour's 2013 season opener, the $5.7 Hyundai Tournament of Champions, finally was played. And so was the second round, on a Monday no less, when the 30-player field again endured blustery weather along with 36 holes.
At the end of the long day, Dustin Johnson, who qualified for the winners-only tournament by securing his sixth Tour title after taking The Barclays last August, posted rounds of 4-under 69 and 7-under 66 Monday to reach 11-under 135, good for a three-stroke lead over defending champion Steve Stricker.
Like the rest of the players in the tournament with the Friday start - whose previous rounds were washed and/or blown out on Friday, Saturday and Sunday - with no scores counting on any of those days, Johnson was pleased to finally get on the par-73, Coore-Crenshaw-designed Plantation Course at Kapalua Resort in Maui, Hawaii and play some extended golf.
"No, I wasn't tired at all," Johnson said after 36 holes of a tournament that will see its final round - 18 holes - determine the winner Tuesday in a tournament reduced to 54 holes. "We had not played any golf, so I was ready to go, first round of the year, play 36 holes. This course is a tough walk and it's really windy out there, but I'm in pretty good shape. I can handle it."
Stricker, who was visibly limping Monday due to a pain in his leg, had the shot of the day. The 45-year-old Wisconsinite canned a 75-yard chip shot on the par-5 18th hole for an eagle to close out his afternoon round, a 6-under 67 that followed his 71 in the morning.
"It was a long day, but a good day," said Stricker, who qualified for the tournament after winning the TOC last year for his 12th title. "I hung in there and, you know, kept the ball in front of me. I made some nice shots. Hit some poor ones out there and got away with them. But made some good up and downs, just kept the round going.
"It was still tough conditions," added Stricker in reference to the seemingly never-ending blusteriness experienced at the Pacific Ocean-side venue. "A couple times the wind really kicked up again and made for some difficult club choices, but all in all (I'm) very happy."
Four strokes back is Bubba Watson (70, 69), while tied for fourth at 140 with 18 holes to go are Keegan Bradley (71, 69) and Brandt Snedeker (70, 70). "Two Gloves" Tommy Gainey - 72 and 69 - is in sixth at 141 with 18 holes to go.
After sitting around for three days, the players were thrown into the fire with 36 holes on a Monday, of all things. Yet the 26-year-old Bradley was ready for the challenge. "It was tough, but I guess that's what you train for all off season. I've been trying to get in better shape, and I think that this has paid off today because I do feel very well.
"I feel for the caddies," added the 2011 PGA champion. "The caddies have been grinding out there. (Bradley's caddie) 'Pepsi' (Steve Hale) did a great job out there and I appreciate it."

Hi All
I've done some other vendor agnostic courses to date but this year I've got my first shot at a TechEd
I'm from the UK and have the luxury of choosing which even I attend but I cant really find any description of the differences between the EU and the USA.
I'm after the best experience so can anyone tell me if there are any differences between them...
Is one bigger than the other?
Are the speakers the same or "better" in one or the other?
Are the tracks / sessions the same?
Is one conference just "better" than the rest?
I've tried to get some info from MS direst but understandably they are being a little coy in making recommendations
Thanks Ross

We are collaborating with the Wuthathi Land Trust on a project to foster Indigenous traditional knowledge and help protect Shelburne Bay in Cape York.
We are collaborating with the Wuthathi Land Trust on a unique project to foster Indigenous traditional knowledge and help protect Shelburne Bay in Cape York, one of Australia's most spectacular areas. The project is support by The Myer Foundation and The Christensen Fund.
With the aim of restoring culturelinks to country, this project brings together Wuthathi Traditional Owners, young and old, from from across far north Queensland, to share cultural knowledge and continue to plan for the long-term management of their traditional homelands for both cultural and natural values and sustainable economic development.
"This cultural regeneration project is another step towards our aspirations to preserve and pass on Wuthathi culture and traditions. It is also means we are a step closer to developing plans, underpinned by Wuthathi traditional knowledge, that will help us to sustainably use and manage our homeland estate," Wuthathi Land Trust representative Ray Wallis said.
"Wuthathi people want to put in place the pieces of information that will help us develop our lands sustainably. We are negotiating native title, national park and the return of freehold lands to the Wuthathi Land Trust from the Commonwealth and Queensland governments. Once we finalise these discussions it will be important we are ready to manage our protected areas and develop economic initiatives that fit with our aspirations. So this project is really important".
We fully support the incorporation of Indigenous land management techniques and knowledge, with contemporary approaches to conservation. It better protects biodiversity and culture," says ACF Cape York officer Leah Talbot.
The Christensen Fund generously granted $US50,000 towards the project. "The Christensen Fund believes the world's cultural and biological diversity is priceless. The Christensen Fund objective is to strengthen local groups on the ground. And in Cape York Peninsula they are interlinked and must be maintained. So, we are pleased to support such a worthwhile project with fantastic partners," said The Christiansen Fund's program offiver Henrietta Marrie.
Futher funding partners include The Myer Foundation and the Federal Government.
For the Wuthathi, returning to country and restoring cultural practices and managing the landscape is an ongoing process. Wuthathi hope to establish a permanent presence on country for cultural purposes and management of land and sea resources.
Shelbourne Bay is the last intact parabolic dune field of its type left in Australia. Other natural silica dune fields along Australia's east coast have been subject to mining. Wuthathi Traditional Owners are eager to establish an Aboriginal owned national park following final a Native Title determination.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of online auction marketplace operator Liquidity Services (NASDAQ: LQDT ) sank 10% today after its preliminary quarterly results and full-year outlook disappointed Wall Street.
So what: The stock has been crushed over the past year on rapidly slowing growth, and today's third-quarter outlook -- EPS of $0.43-$0.45 versus previous guidance of $0.49-$0.54 -- coupled with downbeat sentiment for the full year only reinforces those worries. On the bright side, management expects operating margins to continue to expand, suggesting that the company's competitive position and ability to grow profitably remain intact.
Now what: On its earnings call on August 7, management expects to lower its full-year guidance for gross merchandise volume, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS. "Fundamentally, we are confident in our competitive position and our ability to achieve attractive organic growth over the next several years," said Chairman and CEO Bill Angrick. "However, in the short term, results have been less predictable and pressured due to significant integration efforts and the timing of new large programs coming on line in our retail supply chain vertical." More important, with the stock now off 50% from its 52-week highs and trading at a forward P/E of about 11, much of those short-term troubles might already be baked into the valuation.
It's incredible to think just how much of our digital and technological lives are almost entirely shaped and molded by just a handful of companies.

CBNNews.com - WASHINGTON - Wall Street took another dive Monday, as the Dow Jones fell as much as a record 800 points at one point, amid a growing credit crisis that is rippling across the world./p>
Stocks recoved some in last minute trading, but still ended under 10,000 - st1 :state w:st="on">the first time it has dropped below that mark in four years. The drop comes as global markets continue to strugglest1 :state w:st="on">, despite the government's bailout effort last week. /p>
What to think about the bailout bill and the continuing economic slide? CBN News Financial Editor Drew Parkhill tells more, following this report. st1 :state w:st="on">President Bush today said that it will take time for the economic rescue plan, passed by Congress last week, to work./p>
"I believe that in the long run, this economy is going to be just fine," Bush said, acknowledging the difficulty many are currently facing.
Too Little, Too Late? /p>
Buy so far, $700-billion bailout backed by the U.S. government has not been enough to buy back the confidence of market investors. From Asia to Europe, stocks spiraled. Over the weekend, European governments also took steps to stave off the growing global crisis./p>
By Monday morning, Investors began to realize that the bailout deal will not work quickly to free up credit flow. Many banks are still struggling to access cash./p>
London's benchmark FTSE fell more than 4.5 percent in early trading. By mid-afternoon in mainland China, the benchmark Shanghai Composite tumbled down 5 percent. And japans' Nikkei index sank to its lowest in more than four years.
Concerns of a global economic slowdown are deepening, pushing oil prices under $90 a barrel and causing the euro to fall to a 13-month low against the dollar.
Emergency Meeting
The bad financial news has European leaders so worried, that they're holding a summit to figure a way to keep their economies from failing.
"No sound, solvent bank should be allowed to fail through lack of liquidity. That's why we have taken action in Britain yesterday to extend the liquidity that is available to the banking system, and that's why the European Central Bank has done likewise," British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said.
Congress's passage of the economic rescue plan has yet to calm fears.
"We've got to get credit flowing of course so that people feel comfortable about conducting business and so there's a lot of work to be done," President Bush said.
Sen. Richard Durbin said, "We've learned our lesson. Come the next Congress, we're going to put in place oversight to protect taxpayers and savers."
Banks - strapped for cash - are not lending like they used to and in some cases, even people with good credit are having a tough time getting loans.
Even after the government begins buying up some of those bad mortgage loans to help ease the credit crunch, it may take a while before it's anywhere close to being business as usual.
Economic Crisis Won't Be Fixed Overnight
"These problems were made over a long time, they were made with failure to think about risk, they were made with a strategy of deregulation, and they will take us time to work through," Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers.
Analysts say the rescue plan won't solve America's financial problems. Instead, they say it's a first step toward getting the financial system back on solid ground.

Whose genome was sequenced by the human genome project?
Solutions for Chapter 22
Whose genome was sequenced by the human genome project?
The public Human Genome Project took blood and sperm samples from a dozen anonymous donors and combined them. The project's commercial rival, Celera Genomics, put an ad in The Washington Post, selected 30 men and women from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and used six of them. The source of the DNA is not really critical since all humans share 99.9% genetic identity with one another.

2. Sean Payton is just coming off a year-long suspension for his involvement in "Bountygate," a scandal wherein the Saints defense was paying players extra who hurt other players on the field.
Dave Martin / AP
3. People of New Orleans have been eagerly awaiting his return and have been pissed at NFL commissioner Roger Goodell every day since he suspended Payton.
Gerald Herbert / AP
So fans of the New Orleans Saints will be happy to know that their genius coach was back in action this week, scouting players at the NFL combine, and he was ready to hit the ground running—
5. Okay, so maybe he's a little rusty.

Almost a year ago, a desperate man spent his last thousand dollars on a lottery ticket to make his house payment. The ticket was a loser, the man was evicted, and new tenants are in the house.
That desperate man was Dave Littlefield, the lottery ticket was Matt Morris, and the house, of course, is the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Well, it's spring, and the new tenants haven't done much to spruce the house up. No investment has been made in windows, siding or paint. The yard still has a weed problem, and the foundation still has a great big crack in it.
This house is not going to repair itself. It's going to take a large capital investment and a construction crew that specializes in remodeling.
A coat of fresh paint won't work, as most rooms have dry rot from 15 years of disrepair.
The sad part is, it doesn't even appear as though the architect has started drawing up the plans.
So, once again it looks like the Pirates are destined for another season of futility. Well, at least they finally disposed of that old lottery ticket. I guess that's a start.

SFU should bring back Iuzzolino
I have long admired Mike Iuzzolino's exquisite play on the basketball court and his unprecedented work ethic and determination in the sport.
After reading Cory Giger's article in the Altoona Mirror stating Mike's interest in the St. Francis head coaching position, I became excited and filled with hope that the university would recognize this obvious fit and open the door for his return to the Franciscan fold.
If they prudently choose, I am certain there are many like myself who shall willingly become the Red Flash faithful.
I have, with keen interest and appreciation, followed Iuzzolino wherever he has sojourned, and it is my plea that the St. Francis administration provides us with yet another opportunity to embrace success by ordaining this marriage made in heaven.
Mike Iuzzolino is one of the truly great individuals to have traipsed the campus of Loretto, and it behooves the institution to bring him home permanently to hallowed ground.

Giger right about booing
I agree completely with Cory Giger's article concerning the booing of former Penn State quarterback Anthony Morelli.
I would hope that his future memories of his days at Penn State are not clouded by some fans' lack of class at the Blue-White game. Perhaps the best revenge against the boobirds would be making it in the NFL.

Rugby column refreshing
Kellie Goodman wrote a nice article on the Penn State rugby program.
I am so frustrated that our girls get no coverage by other media while teams with much lesser accomplishments do. My daughter, Annie Zeigler, has played scrumhalf/flyhalf these past three years, and it is her life's passion. These girls have immense dedication, skill and humility.
Pete Steinberg's commitment is impressive. He has coached this team for over a decade with no pay until this year when he has started to receive a small stipend.
And as mentioned in her story, he has taken the girls far.

Curve Classic a class act
What a joy it was to see all the smiling faces at the Dean Patterson Curve Classic.
Area youth got a glimpse of what it's like to be treated like a king.
All the workers at the Blair County Ballpark, the Curve staff and Dean Patterson put on the best high school baseball tournament in the state.
I know the Central Cambria Red Devils appreciated being there.

Endless Presents Worship at Graffik: an exhibition featuring collaborations Gilbert & George and Daniel Lismore
Street artists first major solo gallery exhibition to showcase new works centered around brands being the new religion
Endless the Artist, has unvailed his first major UK solo exhibition at Graffik Gallery, the home of urban art in London. The exhibition launched with an opening night on the 22nd September, featuring an array of new unseen works, in addition to a special unveiling of collaborative works with legendary art duo, Gilbert & George. Endless has also collaborated on an artwork with fashion designer Daniel Lismore, who Vogue described as Britain's most flamboyant dresser, to add yet another dimension to this exhibition.
The theme of the show is 'Worship', and each piece on display will depict how modern day society has fallen captive to the world of advertising, branding and fashion.
Speaking ahead of the show, Endless said: "Religion by historic standards is disappearing, rapidly being replaced by materialism and media iconography. The works I will unveil at Graffik explore this new philosophy, using well-known icons & branding to draw the mind into more complex concepts of wealth, conflict and control. Much like the real world, the show will provide a sensory overload. It's not to be missed."
The Worship exhibition will feature a number of collaborative paintings created by Endless and Gilbert & George.
The Worship exhibition will run from the 23rd September until the 2nd October daily from 11am – 6pm
Endless is a London-based artist working in galleries and prolifically on the street. His pieces comment on advertising, fashion and modern culture. One of his most iconic pieces

Photo To Painting Converting Snapshots Into Realistic Paintings
The visual art forms that have survived and evolved through ages are wondrous expressions of ones thoughts, imaginations and creativity. Photography, which is better known as the modern-day art is an equally creative artistry that creates surrealism through realism. The convening of modern science and primitive artistic skills has aided metamorphosis of either into the other which marks a momentous advancement in modern art. The facility of converting photo to painting is a remarkable idea that has radically altered and dramatically mashed up both the visual art forms creating something unique that contains a little of both. At present, innumerable companies of painters function online, offering to convert painting from photo for a distinguishable effect.
Painting a portrait or a composition manually from a picture in close imitation is perhaps one of those skills that require immense creative potential. However, you might ask why you would at all go forth to transform your gallery of photo to painting or otherwise. Think of having a pretty headshot of yours framed and set up in your living room wall. Ostentatious? If not, surely corny. Now imagine a remarkable piece of painting of yourself framed in a gilded metal case hanging at the same spot. That is the very difference that art brings out of real moments from real lives. Painting from photo is a rather interesting way of impressing your favorite pictures on a canvas.
Clearly, the pictures you choose for the purpose should have artistic value and the work done should spell excellence. The change from photo to painting looks very natural. The concerned photographs are changed into bigger versions by painting them out in large canvases. The effects of brush strokes, poster colors, painters techniques of light and shade, etc. make the work fully credible and perfect. The change to painting from photo can be exactly as you want it to be. Your photos can be done into oil, pastel, water color, acrylic, enamel and tempera paintings as you wish.
There are innumerable service providers offering diverse kinds of photo editing services. The painting effect is one of

Immortalize Your Dna Into Canvas Art
The Museum of Metropolitan Art in New York City released a trend back in 2007 that has taken off in the art world: DNA canvas art. Sounds a little Gattaca-Big Brother-1984esque, doesnt it? The canvas artwork trend stands in line with an inherent human inclination to seek immortality in material things, to transfer the ethereality of the self into a perceived indestructibility found in the basic elements. And what better way to create a canvas art self-portrait than to extract not only the metaphysical existence of the self, but the material building blocks of it as well.
Now how does this matter travel from person to art studio you may ask? The procedure is surprisingly (well not so surprising if you know that your DNA exists in the tiniest of nail clippings) simple and non invasive. For about $600 DNA canvas artwork seeking customers are mailed a special prep kit fully equipped with cotton swabs and petri dishes resting in wait to collect a saliva sample. Not only do customers have a genetic voice in what goes on the canvas art, but they can also choose colors and styles to suit their tastes and to further personalize the artwork.
This DNA canvas artwork hit has paralleled a similar trend in blown-up fingerprints. In fact, it seems that we have somewhat of a canvas art revolution on our hands forging an entirely new genre and medium one could deem genetic abstract art. Like most abstract art in the vein of pop or modern art, these scientific canvas artworks have diffused into mainstream style and culture and become highly fashionable on a scale thats something akin to haute couture for less. This phantasmagoric canvas artwork of swirls and bright colors and ACTG DNA sequencing can be found in the homes of celebrities, art collectors, the worlds trendiest restaurants and clubs, as well as on the sets of HGTV and MSNBC; even the New York Times Magazine has drank the kool-aid of this new canvas art craze with glossy prints of the designs on their pages.

'Pioneering' fuel trial to get underway at Stansted
Page last updated: 31st Jan 2011 - 02:19 PM
The Aviation Environment Federation (AEF), a UK-based pressure group, has a repository of articles on its website, detailing the deleterious effect of modern aviation on human health. The fumes produced from aircraft, the AEF notes, are responsible for an increased risk of "deadly" blood clots, an exponential increase in strokes in women, and the erosion of lung function in young children.
People living in central London are especially at risk, according to the Environmental Audit Committee. Greenwich, Lewisham, and Hammersmith have levels of nitrogen dioxide that contravene European Union regulations on air pollution, whilst the City of London itself has more poisonous gases than the planet Venus. Whether the statistics are exaggerated is debatable, but it would be difficult to argue that aviation on all scales has at least some effect on the environment.
Jet fuel, much like petrol and coal, is high up on the list of eco-unfriendly substances, producing an estimated 3.5% of measurable climate change. Fortunately, Stansted Airport, in an effort to curb runaway emissions, and improve the reputation of the aviation industry, is to begin trials of a "pioneering" fuel that could "drive down emissions and power airport vehicles of the future." Together with energy firm, ITM Power, the Essex hub will use two purpose-built Ford Transit vans to test 'HFuel', a hydrogen-based alternative to conventional jet fuel.
Over the course of a week beginning March 7 2011, the two vehicles will be absorbed into Stansted's regular fleet, and perform regular airport duties. The vans' performance will then be analysed by ITM Power to discern the "potential and development" of the fuel, and its viability for larger vehicles, such as aeroplanes and trucks. ITM Power's chief executive, Dr Graham Cooley, noted that airports were "perfect locations" for HFuel tests.
Stansted will be the first UK business to receive its HFuel vans, but ITM claims that a further 19 companies will soon be involved in the trial.

Martha Raddatz (/ˈrædᵻts/; born February 14, 1953) is an American reporter with ABC News. She is the network's Chief Global Affairs Correspondent. She reports for ABC's World News Tonight with David Muir, Nightline, and other network broadcasts. In addition to her work for ABC News, Raddatz has written for The New Republic and is a frequent guest on PBS's Washington Week. Raddatz is the primary fill-in anchor on This Week with George Stephanopoulos.
Early life[edit]
Raddatz was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho.[3] Her family later moved to Salt Lake City. She attended the University of Utah but dropped out to work at a local station.[4]
Prior to 1993, Raddatz was the chief correspondent at the ABC News Boston affiliate WCVB-TV. From 1993 to 1998, Raddatz covered the Pentagon for National Public Radio.
Raddatz began her tenure at ABC News in 1999 as the network's State Department correspondent and became ABC's senior national security correspondent in May 2003, reporting extensively from Iraq. On June 8, 2006, Raddatz received a tip that terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had been located and killed. This tip allowed Raddatz and ABC News to become the first news organization in the world to break the news shortly after 2:30 a.m. EST.[5][6]
In a March 24, 2008, extended interview with Dick Cheney conducted in Ankara, Turkey, on the fifth anniversary of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Raddatz posed a question about public opinion polls showing that Americans had lost confidence in the war, a question to which Cheney responded by saying "So?"[7] video Raddatz appeared taken aback by the response, and Cheney's remark prompted widespread criticism, including a Washington Post op-ed by former Republican Congressman and Cheney friend Mickey Edwards.[8]
Raddatz is also the author of the New York Times bestseller The Long Road Home: A Story of War and Family, a book about the war in Sadr City, Iraq.
After the national security beat, Raddatz become the network's chief White House correspondent for the last term of George W. Bush administration.[5] On January 9, 2007, Raddatz's mobile phone went off during a White House press briefing with Tony Snow. Of particular humor was her musical ring tone Chamillionaire's, "Ridin'." The press corps and Tony Snow enjoyed a few moments of laughter.[9]
Raddatz was appointed to her current position as ABC's Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent in November 2008.
Raddatz served as the moderator of the Vice-Presidential debate on October 11, 2012, between Paul Ryan and Joe Biden at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky.[10] The debate was later parodied on Saturday Night Live where Raddatz was played by Kate McKinnon.
The Guardian said Raddatz "is known for having well-cultivated sources inside the defense department."[11]
Personal life[edit]
She resides in Arlington, Virginia, with her third husband, journalist Tom Gjelten. She has two children from two previous marriages: a daughter, Greta Bradlee,[12] and a son, Jake Genachowski.[13] Her first husband was Ben Bradlee Jr., a Pulitzer prize-winning editor for The Boston Globe,[14] biographer, and son of former Washington Post executive editor Benjamin C. Bradlee.[15] Her second husband was Julius Genachowski, chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission under the Obama Administration.[16]

I was asked some pertinent questions recently about blogging which set me to reflecting about my journey with this - from the chalkface to the interface I guess.
Blogging is a platform for reflection for me, first and foremost. It is a means for plotting the journey that technology has taken me on, but even more than that, from the new (now well-worn) curriculum's beginnings, until now.
When we started to first look as a nation at 'authentic contexts for learning' I knew without a shadow of a doubt that in New Zealand we were finally on the right page in education. I believe that we finally have our learners at the centre of the learning, NOT a curriculum set in stone at the centre. I have often imagined (and if I were an artist I would've drawn) the sword in the stone scenario, where only the 'chosen one' can pull it out and use it. Education had become a lot like that 10-15 years ago - only the chosen ones who ticked all the boxes and jumped through the appropriately memorized hoops, could have the ultimate prize.
But now, as the years glide by since the introduction of the new (old) curriculum, we have schools where the walls have pushed back, the platforms for learning have not just expanded but out creativity has too. Our students have become the teachers and the teachers are firmly in place as the learners alongside them! Commonplace phrases heard in classrooms are, "I'm not sure, let's find out...what do you think?" which is the teachers speaking! Talk and chalk has given way to listen and learn, inquire and delve, dare and do. Self-management has superseded teacher direction, collaboration has usurped 'go and work silently', and thinking is now the highest prize for learning.
So why do I blog? Because this has been one journey that I would not have believed if I hadn't been able to record it and look back upon it. WOW is always on my lips and I talk about the WOW moments in our classroom all the time. The boundaries of possibility don't exist anymore - we are truly in an age where the only limits are the ones we set through fear or ignorance.

Last week El Paso's city council approved an agreement with Automatic Data Processing, ADP, to give them tax breaks to entice the company to bring more jobs to El Paso.
On Monday, El Paso County Commissioners approved a similar deal with one caveat. Commissioners asked that language be put into the agreement that requires ADP hire 96 percent local workers. That's the current rate of the 1,100 workers that are housed between their two locations now.
According to those close to the deal, ADP is looking to hire an additional 585 workers in El Paso. In order to bring the jobs, they're looking for what is called a 381 agreement. That's an economic development agreement between taxing entities and companies to allow for tax breaks. In this case, the tax break would be 50 percent over the course of 10 years.
"This is just icing on the cake," complained Commissioner Dan Haggerty, telling those in the court that he believed ADP would expand regardless of the agreement.
Right now, 2 percent of ADP's national workforce is located in El Paso. It owns a main office on Resler in West El Paso, but it houses employees in a 15-story building downtown known as Stanton Towers.
According to a presentation shown to Commissioners on Monday, the plan would be to bring 500-plus workers to El Paso soon. Those employees would be housed in rented space in Stanton Towers. By 2015, the company would begin building a $21 million office space to replace the current building on Resler. At that time, the 10-year agreement would kick in, with the county saving the company an estimated $456,000 in taxes.
ADP has previously had a similar deal with both the city and the county. That deal will expire at the end of this year. The new deal would last through 2024.

I love looking at runway shows to get inspiration. The runway makeup looks are often beautiful, sometimes over the top, and usually not very practical for real life. I follow many makeup artists on Instagram who craft the looks that shape the trends for the coming season, and love to come up with ways to translate their artistry into something I can wear on the personal runway that is my life ;) I always have fun doing these types of looks, and you can check out another one HERE.

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS – JULY 23, 2014 – Ramiro De Leon, a
Winter 2012 graduate of The University of Texas
at Brownsville, serves and represents his country in a special capacity –
as a member of the prestigious United States Marine Drum & Bugle
the only active duty drum and bugle corps in the armed forces.
past 18 months for De Leon have taken him from Marine Corps recruit training,
or "boot camp," to his new home at Marine Barracks Washington, known as the
"Oldest Post of the Corps." As a member of the Drum & Bugle Corps, he has
traveled about 50,000 miles and performed in around 500 events across the
nation and abroad. Recently, De Leon was on stage at Avery Fisher Hall in
Lincoln Center, New York, for three days of Fourth of July concerts with the
New York Philharmonic Orchestra.
Tuesday evenings throughout the summer months, the unit performs regular Sunset Parades at the Marine Corps War
at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. On
Fridays during the summer, the traditional Evening Parades take place at Marine
Barracks, always with a guest of honor in attendance. One Friday evening in June, President Barak
Obama was in the stands; the Friday before that, one of De Leon's UTB music
professors, Dianne Brumley, sat proudly in
the bleachers.
Ramiro was a music student in my class at UTB, I knew he was an exceptional
young man," said Brumley, Professor Emeritus, who retired from UTB in 2013.
"Seeing him perform with the United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corp, I was
assured my perception was correct. It was such an honor to watch him and to
know he is my former student and a UTB graduate."
Leon began his long march to becoming a part of this Marine unit, referred to
as "The Commandant's Own," when he joined the
school band in sixth grade at Ida Diaz Junior High
in Hidalgo, Texas.
guess I picked out the trumpet to be my instrument because it was 'loud and
shiny,' and I liked it immediately," De Leon said.
that moment on, De Leon was a band member, continuing in the marching band at Hidalgo High School.
band director at in high school, Mr. Jorge Lozano, wanted us to attend
competitions as much as possible," De Leon said. "With Mr. Lozano's
encouragement and a good band booster club, I was able to travel in high school
before graduating in 2007."
Leon enrolled at South Texas College and started his freshman
year with his sights set on studying optometry.
kept hearing good things about the UTB Music Department, and I was finally
honest with myself and admitted I wanted to make music my career," he said. "My
family is very traditional, and no one had ever been connected to the music
profession; at first, I know my parents were a little hesitant, but they
understood and have always been very supportive."
Leon transferred to UTB and began the regimen of a music education major.
in the UTB Music Department is so talented, and all the professors put such
passion and heart into their teaching; I was fortunate to learn from all of
them," he said.
a music education major, De Leon spent his last semester student teaching at three
Brownsville schools: Pace High School, Manzano Middle School and Peña Elementary
teaching was a challenging, yet a gratifying and fulfilling experience," De
Leon said. "It made me realize that after so many years of being a musician, I
was finally equipped with the knowledge and ability to leave a positive
impression on young minds, very much like my teachers once did with me. It was
really eye-opening to realize that I was becoming like the people I most
Leon's three summers while at UTB continued to be filled with music as a member
of non-profit drum and bugle corps organizations open to musicians worldwide ages
14-21. He performed with Revolution Drum and Bugle Corps from San Antonio
during the summers of 2008 and 2009; and in the summer of 2010, he was a member
of Phantom Regiment Drum
and Bugle Corps from Rockford, Illinois.
competitive corps perform across the nation, culminating at the Lucas Oil
Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, where the corps compete in the Drum Corps International – World Championship Finals.
wouldn't give anything for my time with Revolution and Phantom Regiment," De
Leon said. "Physically, it is a rigorous summer commitment, a great way to
develop self-discipline, grow musically, and make plenty of friends across the
country. Rehearsals were exhausting and consumed your entire life for the
summer, but it was so much fun and everyone loved the competition. Being a part
of Drum Corps International helped prepare me for what I am doing now."
into the United States Marine
Drum & Bugle Corps is a highly competitive and lengthy process. Well before
graduating from UTB in December 2012, De Leon went through his first audition
in November of 2011; his final audition was the following spring.
had been working very hard all year with Dr. Brownlow for my senior recital,
and I felt confident by the time the final audition came around," he said.
he does not know how many years he will serve in the U.S. Marine Corps, De Leon
has a long-range plan.
has been good to me; among other things, it has been a way for me to see a lot
of our country and the world," he said. "My student teaching experience
reaffirmed my ultimate goal of returning to the Valley and becoming a music
teacher in the city of Brownsville, which was so good to me for four years."

Good - but time to call it a day
by Pete Sake from Harrisburg, PA | August 22, 2007
...1991 Sable sedan really was a good car, but I recently upgraded to a 2004 Sable wagon. '91 gave me no trouble untill it hit 178K, then fuel injectors needed replacing. At 190K the transmission was showing signs of weakness, and some body rust appeared so it was time to call it a day. Overall the car was a lot of value for the money. Fewer repairs and far more comfortable than our Toyota!

|Case Study
|Bottom Line
|Flash Flood Climatology
|Flash flooding is New Mexico's second greatest weather hazard behind lightning. Eleven flash floods occur in an average year. Flash floods develop most frequently during July and August between the hours of 3 and 8 pm.
Flash floods differ from ordinary flooding in that they rise and fall quite rapidly. Flash floods are the most common type of flooding in New Mexico. Historically, New Mexico's flash floods have favored locations that receive heavy rainfall and/or have steep terrain. Flash floods also tend to occur in urban areas, where impermeable land surfaces result in high runoff through heavily used areas. In some parts of New Mexico, flash floods go unreported and/or undetected due to low population density.
Weather Radio Coverage
|The National Weather Service rapidly and directly informs the public of flash floods and other threatening weather conditions through NOAA Weather Radios, which may be purchased through electronics retailers. The weather radio network covers 50 percent of the state's land area and reaches 70 percent of the population. When a flash flood warning is issued, a tone will automatically sound on NOAA Weather Radios located closely enough to a transmitter. Tone alert only reaches 15 percent of the state's land area. The map below illustrates that although most New Mexico residents live and work within the coverage area of a weather radio, many parts of the state are not covered, including many mountain areas and recreation areas susceptible to flash floods. People need to be weather wise and manage risk, especially while enjoying the back country.
Meteorological Factors for Flash Flooding
Relatively quickly moving storms may also produce a flash flood if they flow downstream along an elongated drainage basin. Flood waters may travel miles from their rain source and cause problems far downstream.
Hydrologic Factors for Flash Flooding
|Many factors play a role in the distribution and severity of flash floods in New Mexico, including:
Sharp terrain gradients, impermeable soils, frozen ground, excessive soil moisture, narrow drainage basins, less or dormant vegetation, and thick snow cover all increase the potential for flash flooding from a given storm.
Now that you understand where and how flash floods occur, and how NOAA Weather Radio's help alert people to flash flooding, let us look at the National Weather Service's flash flood detection capabilities.

Like it says in the headline, im getting this status error code, when opening windows live ingame (Street Fighter 4, PC) and trying to add my credit-card to my life-account.
even if i log on to my xbox life - account via browser and try there to add a payment-method (credit-card) i get an authorisation-error. besides from windows-life, i can use my credit card without any problems and it works just fine. i even changed my e-mail-adress in the billing-contac-informations which now isn't related anyhow to my account (read this somewhere in a support-forum). i checked my personal and credit-card - information many times now if tiped in correctly and cant find a solution to my problem.
so the overall-problem is: i cant buy microsoft-points because i'm unable to add a payment method.
If you're getting an error message that contains a specific error code (number), check Xbox error code search for a solution:
Error code search
Note If you don't find information on your specific error or status code, see the following section or Related Issues, below. For more help, contact Xbox Support.
If the credit card owner's name doesn't match the name in the xbox live account then it won't let you use it to pay because of security/fraud reasons. What you can do is create a paypal account and use the information that is on the card as the info for the account owner. This way the names match the card and it should let you pay for the microsoft points. It's sort of a round about way to do it but it works. However, this option should not be used Illegally, as I'm sure points will be taken away, you'll be banned from xbox, and possibly criminal charges. So just make sure the card is either yours or someone who has given you explicit instructions to use their card.

'Elmo Makes Music' at the Warner this weekend
Before the Muppets invade movie theaters again, another familiar band of warm, friendly and fuzzy critters will invade Erie.
You know them as Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Oscar, Abby, Cookie Monster, Telly, the Count and Elmo.
The latter stands tallest in kids' eyes, if not reality. He's the center of attraction in "Elmo Makes Music," the Sesame Street Live production that rolls into the Warner Theatre for four shows from Friday through Sunday.
"Elmo is definitely the star," said Lauren Nestor, who rotates between two roles -- music teacher Jenny and Rosita -- in the splashy show. "He's everyone's favorite furry red monster. But we have all the other favorites ... I'm fortunate enough to play Jenny, and I get to share the spotlight with Elmo and teach everyone about music."
Sesame Street's newest teacher is thrown for a loop at the outset, however, when her musical instruments fail to arrive.
It's up to Elmo, Cookie Monster and all the Sesame Street friends to help Jenny come up with ways to make music. They kind of discover everything and everyone can make music.
They don't need trumpets or grand pianos to create music.
"Throughout the show, each number is about discovering a new instrument and they do everything from shaking cookie jars to banging on pots and pans and using Oscar's trash-can lid," Nestor said.
Naturally, children in the audience are encouraged to stomp, clap and sing along, too. You, too, parents and grandparents You'll know many of the songs.
"There's a nice disco number in the second act in which everyone gets down and does 'The Hustle,'" Nestor said. "And we do a number with 'Rockin' Robin.' There's also a singalong with a Carpenters' classic, 'Sing a Song' that gets you in the heart. It's a beautiful song for everyone to enjoy."
Nestor is enjoying being back in Pennsylvania. She's a Pittsburgh native who graduated from Pennsylvania State University in State College with a bachelor's of fine arts in musical theater in 2009. The show played there earlier this week.
"This is the first time my family has been able to see the show, so it was very exciting and kind of emotional to be back," Nestor said. "And to be performing in Bryce Jordan Center, a large arena, makes me feel happy to be back.
"I saw the Dave Matthews Band there when I was a freshman. It's cool to be walking down the same hall as Dave Matthews."
