The man in police custody that has been charged with shooting two Ferguson, Missouri police officers is not the man who pulled the trigger, according to the attorney representing the suspect.
Jeffrey Williams was arrested over the weekend and allegedly told police that he fired the shots last week that put two officers in the hospital. Mr Williams said, however, that he was aiming at people with whom he had a quarrel and not at the officers.
The New York Times reported that Jerryl Christmas, the lawyer representing Mr Williams, said he thinks police have charged the wrong person in the shooting. Mr Christmas did not comment on why his client would admit to pulling the trigger if he was not responsible.
"I don't think they have the right person in custody," Mr. Christmas said, according to the Times. "I don't think he shot anybody."
Mr Williams has been charged with first-degree assault and his bond has been set at $300,000. During his brief court appearance on Monday in front of Judge Joseph Dueker in St. Louis County Circuit Court, he did not give any statements.

2006 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 2dr Convertible (6.0L 8cyl 6M)
I owned a beautiful white 2005 coupe with Z51 and 6 speed manual and put over 6000 miles on it before I decided I really needed a convertible. Although the Z51 was a monster, it was still very pleasant to drive, and a lot of fun when pushed to the limit. Then I bought this beautiful black convertible with 6 speed paddle shift auto and magnetic select ride. Wow .. what a difference! As smooth riding as a Cadillac with performance like the Z51 .. and bonus - 25 mpg! This Corvette is the first car I have ever bought, and I have owned many, that is absolutely perfect. The difference between this Corvette and the last one is like the difference between .. well, black and white!
Automatic transmission with paddle shift, magnetic select ride, power and performance, power top, Bose stereo, .. but most of all .. the way it looks. WOW
Perfect as is thank you.
This is the best Corvette I have ever driven. I have a lot of mobility problems yet I have no problem getting in or out of this vehicle. I have driven every generation of Corvettes and though all were fun, this one has been a pleasure to own. I think they finally got it right. Minor problems with the battery and power top.
The tremendous acelleration and the 6 speed manual.
Built in pad in trunk to cover the rear end due to the high liftover.
I've finally been able to buy my first Vette! Now I'm hooked, and I know that there will always be one (or more) parked in my garage. The power, handling, versatility, comfort, styling, and stereo are simply an amazing combination. I'm still not used to the admiring stares from other drivers, and people saying "nice ride" in parking lots , etc. I'm 6'-5", and am happy to report that I fit very well in the coupe & convertible. Alas, the Z06 "real" hard top has frame struts that prevented me from fitting into my true desire. Oh well, I probably would've got mare tickets with that baby...
The six speed auto (solid as a rock) & paddle shift, and the stereo (no aftermarket needed).
Put alternate auto shift on the console too. Paddle shift is difficult in tight corners, and intersections... Add iPod interface.
Just back from Florida and had a blast driving it. It's yellow so you can't miss it and it seems like everyone saw it both on the road and off. No matter where I stopped people walked over to look and ask questions.
It's just plain fun to drive and enjoy.
The interior should be better.
Excellent with all the features which i was looking for and i dont think any other car can compete with this one. Good Job. Keep it up!

Lahore, May 12 (ANI): Jamaat-e-Islami chief Syed Munawar Hasan has said that the allegations made by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton against Pakistan regarding Osama bin Laden and Taliban supremo Mullah Umar amount to a blatant insult to the government, people and the armed forces.
Clinton had accused that there were people in the Pakistani Government who knew the whereabouts of bin Laden and Mullah Omar, and asked Islamabad to increase cooperation to capture or kill all the attackers of 9/11.
In a statement on Tuesday, the JI chief stressed upon Islamabad to protest against Hilary's statements and also announce pulling out of this "crusade" against al-Qaeda and the Taliban, telling Washington that "enough is enough."
Syed Munawar Hasan said former US President George W Bush had blamed bin Laden for the 9/11 tragedy without any investigation and had announced that Osama would be captured soon, dead or alive.
He said the US, despite its latest technology and resources, had failed to get hold of bin Laden during the last nine years and was now putting the blame on Pakistan only to hide its embarrassment, The News reports.
He also said that Faisal Shahzad's drama was also staged to intensify pressure on Islamabad.
He said even if Faisal Shahzad was involved in the Time Square plot, there was no reason to blame Pakistan for an individual's act and issue threats on this count. (ANI)

King Said to Have Faced Revolt on U.K. Credit Plan Talks
Bank of England Governor Mervyn King faced a revolt this year from policy makers he kept out of the loop on an emergency plan to spur U.K. economic growth, said two people with knowledge of the matter.
Monetary Policy Committee members Ben Broadbent, David Miles, Adam Posen and Martin Weale wrote to King after finding out he and key aides were privately designing the Funding for Lending Scheme, said the people, who declined to be named because the matter is confidential. The letter was written in the days before the plan to boost credit was announced June 14, the people said.
The complaint of the four so-called external MPC members, who are part-time officials appointed by the government, was that failing to inform them undermined the committee's legitimate control over monetary policy and their ability to gauge and manage the economic outlook, one of the people said. King then shared information on the program before unveiling it, the people said.
The letter's existence provides a glimpse of the factors at play when policy makers were torn on whether to expand stimulus amid questions over the potency of quantitative easing, three years after the bank began buying bonds and as the economy was in the throes of a double-dip recession.
It also follows recent criticism in probes of the central bank ordered by its governing panel, known as the Court, which questioned its governance. The confrontation over the FLS highlights the management challenge Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney, 47, will inherit when he succeeds King, 64, in July.
Comment to Lawmakers
When asked for a comment, a Bank of England spokesman referred to a remark by Broadbent to lawmakers on June 26, in which he said that the externals were first informed at a meeting of the nine-member MPC on June 6-7.
"This was a policy, as I understand it, in its infancy at best, if not yet born at all," Broadbent said. "So there was little to be done, except to inform the committee that there were discussions. There was nothing else to be discussed or said of it."
Broadbent, Miles and Weale were unavailable for immediate comment, the spokesman said. Posen, who has since left the bank, declined to comment when contacted by e-mail.
Funding Costs
King and Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne used speeches at the same event on June 14 to announce the FLS, which aims to stimulate the economy by giving banks access to cheaper funding in return for increasing credit to companies and households.
It was devised as the economy slumped again even after the central bank cut its key interest rate to a record low 0.5 percent and had spent 325 billion pounds ($525 billion) buying gilts. In July, the committee increased its asset-purchase program to 375 billion pounds.
The Treasury estimated in June that a 5 percent increase in lending would inject about 80 billion pounds into the economy. Data on Dec. 3 showed banks drew 4.4 billion pounds from the program in the first two months of operation. Banks have 18 months to tap the program.
"Exceptional circumstances create a case for a temporary bank funding scheme to bridge to calmer times," King said in his speech at the Mansion House in London's financial district.
Bank Reviews
The plan marked a departure for King's central bank, which had previously resisted calls for targeted measures to boost lending to the non-financial sector. He joined the central bank in 1991 and has been governor since 2003.
With his retirement pending in June, he has faced criticism for his management of the bank during the financial crisis. A review of the central bank's framework for providing liquidity to banks released last month described governance as "centralized and hierarchical."
The author, Bill Winters, a former JPMorgan Chase & Co. executive, said junior officials had a tendency "to filter recommendations" to senior staff based on what they assumed would prove palatable. Asked by lawmakers on Nov. 27 about the culture described by Winters, King said: "I don't recognize it to be honest."
Former BOE Executive Director Ian Plenderleith, who wrote a separate report on the central bank's emergency liquidity, told lawmakers that two MPC members serving during the financial crisis in 2008 expressed concerns to him about being inadequately informed on the provisions.
Still, Plenderleith said in the report it was "understandable" that the full MPC wasn't briefed at the time "given the extreme sensitivity" of the operations and it's "not clear that the lack of information" had a "material impact" on the MPC's decisions.
Government Appointments
The government appoints four external members of the committee to three-year terms to ensure the bank benefits from outside expertise. The remaining five members of the panel are full-time staff, consisting of the governor, the deputy governor for monetary policy, Charlie Bean, the deputy governor for financial stability, Paul Tucker, the chief economist, Spencer Dale, and the markets director, Paul Fisher.
Miles, the longest-serving external member, having begun his term in June 2009, was previously chief U.K. economist at Morgan Stanley.
Posen, an American who led the charge for more stimulus, stepped down in August after three years to return to the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington as president. Weale was director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research prior to joining the bank in July 2010. Broadbent is a former economist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. who joined the central bank in June 2011.
Tension between the central bank executives and the external MPC members predates King's time as chief. In 1999, when Eddie George was governor and King his deputy, some outsiders complained they weren't allocated the staff necessary for their research projects. They were later assigned researchers.
"There was tension for a time on the resource side," Charles Goodhart, an external member at the time, said in an interview. On the whole, not being included in discussions was "extremely rare and relatively unimportant," he said.
The job of managing the committee will fall to Carney, who replaces King in July after being appointed by Osborne last month. He will become the first foreigner to run the Bank of England in its 318-year history.
"Mr. Carney will have to prioritize public engagement and open debate in the BOE, rather than closed international discussions and CEO-style decision making," Posen wrote in the Financial Times on Dec. 1.
Asked about Carney on Dec. 10, King told the Economic Club of New York: "I think he'll do a great job and they won't miss me at all."

Asrock rails against Gigabyte: "Say No to Waste!"
Another little clash between motherboard manufacturers: Since Gigabyte introduced a new motherboard series with two ounces of copper (56.7 grams) instead of one ounce, Asrock now says this is "waste" and even offers a video on youtube.
The additional copper in the layers for voltage feed and ground will, according to Gigabyte, enable the new P45 and P43 motherboards with "Ultra Durable 3" technology to receive lower temperatures and higher overclocking results. In a presentation send to technical writers Asrock argues that their own P45 board, the P45TS, would stay cooler than new "Ultra Durable 3" series, even without additional copper. For a direct comparison Asrock refers to a picture from a Gigabyte presentation that shows one of Gigabyte's new board with the additional copper reaching a maximal temperature of 125° C in the area of the CPU voltage converters (obviously without cooling of the voltage converters). Asrock on the other hand says that they reach only 94.3° C with a P45TS.
Asrock even published a video on Youtube, but they don't deal with the overclocking topic.
Only some months ago there had been a brawl between Gigabyte and Asrock's parent company Asus, when Gigabyte alleged Asus of copying some ideas and got sued for this assertion by Asus.

The Shopping Mall
Chris found himself staring at his reflection. He stepped back to see that the mirror was actually a revolving glass door. He turned around to see where he was, and found himself standing outside a skyscraper, surrounded by more buildings all around. The roads in front of him made an asterisk as they criss-crossed each other, bordered by multi-storey buildings on either side. There was a traffic signal in front of him, glowing red. As he slowly came out of shock, he realised that there was no sound. The absolute silence was almost deafening.
Sarah! The thought struck him, and he quickly spun around to look for her. There was not a single moving thing in sight. Suddenly the traffic signal turned green with an audible twing, and there she stood in her black top and denim jeans, with eyes looking as if they would pop out of her head.
"Chris?" She looked at him with those same wide open eyes, and he returned the gaze.
They stood two feet apart, looking into each other's eyes and wondering what to say.
A sudden gust of wind brought him out of his shock and he grabbed both her shoulders with his hands, shaking her roughly.
"What are yo- HEY!" Sarah's head shook violently before she finally came to her senses and looked around her in shock.
"What is this place?" Sarah's voice was so meek; Chris couldn't believe she could sound so timid. "Where are we?"
"I don't know. What did you do?"
"What?" She had been looking in a different direction, but turned around so quickly that he had to step back to avoid her shoulder length hair brushing his face.
Chris didn't know how to frame his statement. "You... you pushed me, didn't you, in here? And then I found myself standing here." He spoke as he gestured towards the glass doors on his left.
"You're saying I landed us here? Are you out of your mind?"
"You did."
"I did not"
"Whatever" Chris shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, deciding that she won't agree she had pushed him in wherever he was.
She pushed me.
"How did you get in here?"
"I dunno. I just stood where you were standing one moment... and suddenly felt as if I was being sucked into a straw. The next thing I know, I'm standing here."
"The same thing happened to me. I was just standing when you pushed me, and then I was sucked in here." He emphasised the word just to prick her conscience.
They didn't speak for quite some time, until the silence started freaking them out.
Not knowing what to do, Chris turned around and pushed the door to step inside the building beside which he had appeared.
"Coming?" He looked at Sarah just as he was about to enter, who turned her head the other way and sniffed. Chris had always been a reserved person, never mingling with others, never having many friends. But wherever he was right now, Sarah was there. And for the first time in his life he didn't feel like venturing alone somewhere. So he decided to change his approach and added one more word. "Please?"
Sarah turned around and pushed the doors, walking inside with her head held high. Chris followed immediately, and when the door revolved he ran into Sarah's back and quickly spluttered an apology. She was standing just ahead of the door, so he couldn't do anything except stand in the half open door and wait for her to move. But she seemed to have rooted to the spot, and for the first time he looked where she was looking. His jaw dropped.
They were inside a mall with shops all around them, their neon signs glowing. But what was even more shocking were the names on the neon signs. They were brands and shops which Chris saw everyday during his bus trip from home to school. McDonald's, Hidesign, Esprit, Aquafina...Dell? He looked in wonder all around him, unable to believe what he was seeing, wondering what was Sarah thinking about all thhis. Where are we?
I don't know.
A clear response rang inside his head, and he jumped in surprise. Sarah turned around to stare at him.
"What was that?"
"I don't know." He shook his head vigorously when she looked like she didn't believe him, and stopped only when she straightened her back and turned around once more.
"Let's check out this place." Chris spoke as he softly pushed her to make way, and she jumped away when she saw why he had touched her. She blushed, and quickly took two more steps to clear some space. "Sorry."
Chris walked towards an escalator in the front, thinking of climbing up when it started moving automatically and threw him off balance for a moment. Sarah looked surprised too, but she followed. When they got off the escalator, the first shop in front of them was an iStore. Cautiously, Chris bent a little forward to get a better look through the glass doors when they also slipped open without prior warning, making him jump once again. This time he heard Sarah chuckle, and tried to gather his nerves quickly.
"Looks like all shops are open, but nobody has arrived for shopping yet." Sarah spoke matter-of-factly and went inside. They were surrounded by iPods, iPads and Macbooks. Sarah walked up to an exhibition counter and picked up a touchscreen iPod.
"Check this out." She held it out in her hand to show Chris, and saw him shiver.
"What?" She whispered, suddenly feeling afraid of something he might have seen behind her.
"What?" Chris stood straight once more, but now blinking like an idiot. "Oh that! The AC rotated and I got hit by a cold wave."
Sarah looked at the air conditioning vent above him. It was really moving. Everything's perfect, except there's nobody there to keep it perfect. She shook her head and opened the casing to take out the earphones in the box. She plugged them in and switched on the iPod. She couldn't believe her ears, just like her eyes till now. The first song that played was her favourite 'Falling into you'. She flipped through the playlist only to find all the songs preloaded that she ever listened to, and not a single one she did not want. Interesting.
Chris stood in front of a Macbook Pro, and after looking left and right, half expecting someone to tell him not to touch it, he powered the device. The desktop popped up in front of him. He blinked. He had always dreamed of owning a computer that didn't waste time in booting.
Boys. Once again the voice rang so clearly in his head that it seemed to resonate inside, and it had made him jump again. He looked at Sarah, who was staring at him in return.
"Leave it there. You have to pay for it."
No kidding. I have my Master Card in my wallet. And I should bill myself at the counter and checkout.
Precisely. Sarah's voice echoed in his head once again, but this time he didn't jump out of his skin. He was expecting it any moment now.
Chris let the machine rest on the counter where he had picked it up walked to join Sarah, who was replacing the iPod in its case.
She looked at him. "You know, I think I've understood what happens in this place."
Oh really, Einstein? "Really? What?"
That we can hear each others' thoughts here, and we get whatever we wish. The voice rang in his head once more, so clear that it seemed to bounce off at different places inside his skull. Probably because he was standing closer to her now.
Yes, Einstein. If thoughts could take a physical form, he was sure he would have felt a jabbing in his ribs. She had heard him crystal clear inside her head.
"So should we check out the McDonalds?"
Her eyes lit up like a small girl's. Let's go. She spoke, no- thought inside his head and walked out of the iStore and beckoned him to follow. When they entered McDonald's with a single table already served with what they had discussed mentally while coming down the escalator, they grinned at each other like kindergarten kids and thought that this whatever land was not so bad after all. And Sarah also figured out that they probably didn't have to pay for the burgers, or anything else.
Sarah, I'm going to get that Macbook.
She chewed her Chicken McGrill slowly. Get my iPod too. And better checkout Dell before Apple. Windows 7 is easier than Apple's OS.
He sipped his coke and grinned mentally. Sarah looked up from her burger, smiling.
Does this mean we transmit emotions too?
I guess.
How do I hide something I don't want you to know I'm thinking?
I guess that's not possible.
Holy- beep. He censored whatever he was about to say with a beep in his mind, and Sarah burst out laughing.
In the utter silence of the mall, the laugh sounded strange.

This review is from: Logitech G110 LED Backlighting Gaming Keyboard
Feels good to type on, durable for the price, Looks good
The software, kills my computer no mater what game I play it in. I have tried 3 different computers all get the same crash in game where it freezes and you have to restart. You don't get this if you don't use the software. Also when I called Logitech to ask them about this they hung up on me 6 times in a row, after I explained what my keyboard would do. I emailed them it took 1 week for a response.
Other Thoughts:
If you want a good entry level keyboard, and you are not going to use the software. Its a good buy, but if you want to change the colors and macros with the software be warned. Also Logitech used to be one of my favorite company for customer service but this and 2 other devices I have had to call on has made me steer away from them now.
2 stares off, 1 for Software, 1 for customer service.

Could a GOP Congress benefit Obama?
WASHINGTON — The walls seem to be closing in on the Obama presidency.
Iraq and Syria are overrun with terrorists. Violence is flaring in Ukraine and on Israel's borders. A humanitarian crisis is developing on our own southern border, but immigration legislation, like most all legislation, is moribund. Probes of veterans' health care, the IRS and Benghazi are sucking up attention and the administration's time.
As President Obama fails to get any credit for the millions who have found jobs or gained health care coverage on his watch, a nonpartisan Quinnipiac poll last week found that 33 percent of Americans consider him to be the worst president since World War II, besting (or worsting, as it were) George W. Bush and leaving Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon in the dust.
No wonder this bear wants to break loose. And maybe he will — if Republicans take control of the Senate.
Crazy talk, you say? Maybe so. The prevailing view is that a Republican Senate would compound Obama's woes by bottling up confirmations, doubling the number of investigations and chipping away at Obamacare and other legislative achievements.
Yet there's a chance that having an all-Republican Congress would help Obama — and even some White House officials have wondered privately about whether it would be better than the current environment. Republicans, without Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to blame, would own Congress — a body that inspires a high level of confidence in just 7 percent of Americans, according to a Gallup survey last month finding Congress at the bottom of all institutions tested.
There would be no more excuses for Republicans' failure to put forward their own health care plan, immigration proposals, specific cuts to popular government programs, and pet causes involving abortion, birth control and gay rights. This would set up real clashes with Obama, who could employ the veto pen he hasn't used a single time since Republicans won control of the House in 2010, and sharp contrasts that would put Obama on the winning side of public opinion.
It is not hard to imagine a Republican takeover of the Senate causing conservatives in both chambers to overreach. House Republicans might even take a swing at impeachment because the main obstacle they've cited — the impossibility of convicting Obama in a Democratic Senate — would be removed. Alternatively, Republican leaders, recognizing that the public will hold them responsible once they have complete control of Congress, might try to compromise with Obama.
In the first scenario, marauding conservatives drive Republicans to oblivion in 2016 and beyond, putting Hillary Clinton in the White House. In the second scenario, Obama actually accomplishes something in his last two years.
Of course, there is a third scenario, in which a Republican Senate majority only makes Obama miserable. Norm Ornstein, Congress watcher nonpareil, predicts Republicans would halt executive-branch confirmations, leaving the administration weak and understaffed. Remaining staffers would be hamstrung as they try to comply with a new wave of congressional subpoenas. And Republicans may content themselves simply to keep the legislative process shut. "Luring them into a further layer of craziness has advantages," Ornstein said, but "the danger for Obama is what resonates with the public is he's the president: Why the hell can't he get it done?"
A unified Republican Congress could also force Obama to accept rollbacks of Obamacare and other Democratic achievements by attaching amendments to must-pass legislation. Michael Tomasky argued in the Daily Beast that a Republican majority would "take as many bites as it can out of what Obama has accomplished in the last six years."
Such concerns are all valid, but they may not give enough weight to conservatives' tendency to overplay their hand, as Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas did by provoking last year's government shutdown, or as Rep. Darrell Issa of California has done with a stream of wild accusations that discredited his investigations.
I hold out hope that a Congress under unified Republican control might react the way it did during Bill Clinton's presidency, producing a balanced budget and welfare reform. But if Republicans don't take their responsibility to govern seriously, they'll find the Senate even less governable than it is today. Democrats would still have more than enough votes to block legislation with filibusters — as the Republican minority did in the last two years of Bush's presidency.
But hopefully Democrats would let some of the more egregious proposals reach Obama's desk. Of the 2,564 presidential vetoes since 1789, this president has issued only two, both over obscure issues. More exercise of the veto pen could strengthen Obama's weak hand.

Have you ever been in such a pressure-packed situation for four quarters, like the game on Saturday?
Garrick Williams: I wouldn't call it pressure, but I think that was a game where we knew what we had to do. There were 90,000 fans, so losing was not an option. Our fans showed up. I can recall that it was record-breaking, with 31,000 students. That feeling was crazy. I've never been a part of anything like that before.
In the postgame celebration, you said it was something you'll remember for the rest of your life.
Williams: I thought that our fans were loud during the Oklahoma game. We beat the No. 8 team in Nebraska and, when the fans came on the field, I was wondering if they could do that. The whole time I've been here, that's never happened. I was so excited for everyone. I've seen other colleges do it, but I've never seen it happen here. It was so exciting.
It seems like you guys have really connected with the student body. How special has this season been because of that bond?
Williams: I think that Coach Sherman opened the door for us, and we took it upon ourselves to walk through it. I remember one night driving on Wellborn Road, I saw students camping out and it was cold and raining. I thought to myself that they do all of this just to support us. That's the biggest thing for us as a team. We talk in the locker room that we don't need to win for us. We need to do it for the people that come out and give their all every Saturday. We play the game, but they play a huge role on Saturday nights.
Did you feel like Saturday was the ultimate test, since this team prides itself on stopping the run?
Williams: That was awesome because we knew going into the game that they had a fast quarterback and two good running backs. They run the majority of the game, and we knew what we had to do. I think the thing that rolls over to us is Coach DeRuyter's mentality because he's never satisfied. We can hold a team to 1.8 yards-per-carry and he'll say that we could've held them to 1.4. I think that has rolled over to us. We have certain standards, and the run game is something that we really do emphasize. He took us from being low, and I think now we are 15th in the nation in stopping the run.
What does it say about the defensive performance when Michael Hodges can win Big 12 Player of the Week, and Trent Hunter can win national player of the week after the same game?
Williams: I think those are statements. I think that we have a lot of great players on our defense. I don't think it would be the same if we weren't all so close. In the locker room, we're always interacting with one another. You wouldn't be able to tell who the best player on the team is and who the worst player on the team is because we all interact with each other.
Talk about the physicality of the defensive line and how easy that makes things on the rest of the defense.
Williams: I'll tell you one thing: I think our defensive line has had the biggest impact of any unit on our defense. They get great push and that makes my job and Hodges' job easier. I remember last year, sometimes, it was a problem of ours. But this year every single guy is hungry for something. If one guy comes out, another can come in and do the exact same thing the other was doing. We had some problems early in the season with communication, but now we're really gelling.
Because of that push, do you feel like you have more space to work?
Williams: Yes, but that all comes with being able to talk to your players. Coaches shouldn't have to be the only ones getting on to them. Tony and I have played together since high school and, sometimes, the guard is getting on me fast, and so I tell him and he fixes it. It's a feeling that I can't really explain.
How important is Steven Campbell to stopping the run?
Williams: Steven is a huge part of this defense. If people don't know of him now, they will next year. He's one of the fastest players on our team and the hardest hitter on the team. He's been held back a little because of the injury. He's a fanatical athlete that can do so many things. He can cover and come down hill and stop the run. Those hard-hitting, fast safeties don't really come around a lot. I think he's one of them and he's going to be a really good player for us.
Talk about Cyrus Gray and this run that he's on down the stretch.
Williams: I've seen Cyrus like this before. In high school, I remember him scoring five touchdowns and rushing for something like 300 yards. I've always known that Cyrus was capable of doing what he's doing. It was just him needing to get carries and proving what he can do with the ball. I've sat down and talked to Cyrus about things, and told him that he knows what we have to do. He talks to me in games and tells me, 'We need a stop.' Him being like my brother, it's like he's depending on me and I feel obligated to do [my job]. That's what drives me, and I can say the same for him.
What is it about Cyrus as a runner that makes him so much better as the game goes on?
Williams: Early in the season, someone asked me what the difference was between Cyrus and Christine Michael? I told him that Christine is more like LeBron James. He gets all the dunks. But Cyrus is like Kobe Bryant. He's more of a fundamental player. Him being so fast and quick, he can make a cut on a dime. On Saturday, he made a cut and I was like, 'How did he do that?' That all goes back to the summer and all of the hard work that he put in [to become a better all-around player]. That's the type of guy that he is.
How are you guys feeling from a physical standpoint going into a short week?
Williams: I think we're so caught up in the excitement that we know what we need to do. We're not looking at Texas like, 'Dang, we have Texas ... here we go again.' Texas is a great team that you shouldn't overlook by any means, but right now we have a different mindset. I could say the same thing about Oklahoma and Nebraska. We weren't in the locker room saying, 'Dang, we're about to play Oklahoma.' They're just another team that's in our way.
Finally, it seems like you guys are more focused on the big picture and the next task at hand.
Williams: Exactly. Coach Sherman does everything in his power to instill in us that these guys are in our way of accomplishing something that we want to do. I think we'll just take it from there.

I love children, and all last summer I worked with children, spending the holidays for them. Therefore,if a man has a baby, it does not scare me. I am open and sincere, looking for the same man, and myself.
14 years engaged in a theatrical circle, studied singing, dancing. Now my choice stopped on the sport, I'm a regular visitor of the gym and maybe would like to become a coach in the future. I love to go to theaters, museums, and cultural development.
Need partner: 20 - 60 years old
It will be possible to be confident and trust him. And a man of that age will be able to take care of his woman and create a strong family.Most of all I appreciate sincerity, kindness and compassion. So men need to be true, kind, caring. Yet it is important that he was an educated and honest. I want to find a true partner in life. In which could be relied upon, and that you can trust. Age does not scare me at all because it is not important, the main thing is how it will be true to me.

If you know anything about hip hop beef, then you probably are familiar with the fact that a lot of the feuds seem to come from 50 Cent. Over the years, the rapper has played a huge role in hurting the careers, permanently or temporarily, of a ton of rap greats, including Ja Rule, Fat Joe, and The Game. It seems like nothing could defeat the power of 50's bullying techniques, or get past them, aside from Rick Ross and Kanye West. Although they had to deal with a fair amount of taunting from the rapper, only one was able to make 50 Cent look weaker than in any other beef, and that person is French Montana.
Do you think French Montana can really take down Curtis?

|RE: [jira] Updated: (OPENJPA-464) Performance improvement with Statement Batching support
|Tue, 18 Dec 2007 18:36:31 GMT
Hi Teresa, Batching support should be added to a separate implementation of PreparedStatementManager rather than existing PreparedStatementManagerImpl trying to act on both batch and non-batch mode. A new BatchPreparedStatementManager can be plugged-in by overwriting AbstractUpdateManager.newPreparedStatementManager(). That way, one will not require a Map in BatchingPreparedStatementManager but only a instance variable e.g. 'PreparedStatement _sql'. The flushInternal() checks whether the current SQL requires a new PreparedStatement or the existing one will do. If it requires a new PreparedStatement then existing _sql is executed + _sql is reassigned the current one. Otherwise, _sql.addBatch(current). This design will keep batch/non-batch support separate and will help maintenance in future. -----Original Message----- From: Teresa Kan [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 9:30 AM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: [jira] Updated: (OPENJPA-464) Performance improvement with Statement Batching support I would like to hear any comment from the community and would like to commit the changes before the holidays.

About Me
Current News:
2009 has been a complete bust in terms of web updates. I realize I never returned to further update about our new child. She's 3 months old now! Anyway, we named her Inara, but I'm sure most people know that already. I'm updating today to include a small preview of my 2009 NaNoWriMo project. Check the writing section.
Past News:
WTF!? An actual update? Yes, indeed. Baby #6 has finally arrived. We have no name picked out yet (should be decided tomorrow), but I can tell you she was born at 4:55am, Aug. 9, 2009. She weighed 7lbs, 12oz at birth. Head on over to the new pictures section for some early peeks.
Old News:
(Apr. 1)
Well now, it has been quite some time since I posted an update on this site. The update today is a small one - just to inform of some upcoming changes/additions and such. Over the next couple of months, I am hoping to move the design for this site into phase two. The layout will stay pretty much the same, but it will be spruced up a little. Also, I am aiming to get something back up on the Permanent Smile portion of the site. In addition, I am looking to install some communication features. First up may be a blog so I can provide updates more frequently - mostly in regards to my writing. Stay tuned. One more thing, we are expected our 6th child this summer. Look for further details in the weeks to come.

Once in a while I get myself in trouble by thinking. Tonight is such a case. I am curious if anyone can tell me how hosting companies configure their email servers so that they can host multiple email domains and still have the headers formed correctly.
For example:
I go to a hosting company and I register to host my domain there... domainA.com. I get a web hosting and 5 free pop email accounts. I create an email account called email@example.com. When I send email from that account it shows up on the receiving end with the header containing all information as if it came from a server owned and operated by domainA.com.
I then register another domain, domainB.com at the same hosting company. Again setting up an email account called email@example.com. When I send email from that address the header on the receiving end now has all the appropriate information in it that says it come from domainB.com.
How do they do that. If it isn't right then a lot of the spam catch tools, especially at AOL, Yahoo and MSN catch it as suspected spam.
I'm just curious.

Just a Little Goodbye
Poem by: Chiqui
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
Just a little quick goodbye
to all my fans and friends in here
As west is where I will fly
in my heart you will all be near
My Girl is waiting just for me
a few days with her I will be
For she owns the pages in my heart
no matter where, near or far apart
I hope to see many smiles
as I travel along the miles
Take time to play and to rest
'cause then you will do your best
I can hardly wait to be back
it will be your poems that I will lack
Please keep me posted all the time
soon you will again see work of mine
Rainbows in all your every days
happiness and laughter is for you I pray
Until then
my final pen

Unitrends, the leading provider in all-in-one backup and disaster recovery solutions, today announced that the Altarum Institute has made the switch from Symantec to Unitrends to protect the health organization's data in their widespread network of remote offices throughout the U.S.
Faced with lengthy backup time, added costs to protect their data off-site and declining support from Symantec, Kenny Moore, Altarum's IT Specialist, realized that it was time to find a new backup solution. Unitrends Recovery Appliances were able to greatly reduce the amount of time it took Altarum to complete their backups and easily tackled the problem they faced with multiple widespread locations, all from an easy-to-use graphical interface.
"When we received our appliance at every site, we got all of the things we were looking for and the price was right," Moore stated. He added, "Unitrends gives us the option to access recovery files across our own network. That was one of the bonuses since we could vault ourselves."
"Unitrends multi-site data protection provides organizations like Altarum a huge return on investment in terms of their IT administrative staff and overall solution costs," said Maria Ellison, Vice President of Sales Engineering at Unitrends. "We are delighted that Altarum has trusted us with their data protection."
To find out more about Altarum's success with Unitrends, view the complete success story and video.
Unitrends enables its customers the freedom to focus on their business instead of backup. The company achieves this through scalable, all-in-one disaster recovery and backup solutions that no other data protection vendor can provide. Unitrends integrated backup appliance simply protects businesses' IT infrastructures at the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry. More companies every day join those who have discovered the customer-obsessed, enterprise-level data protection only Unitrends can offer.
