text: Hey all, I just joined because I am looking to get a newer car now that I work full time. I am a former Rx-7 and DSM'er and I wanted a car that was a fairly quick daily driver. Having driven a few WRX's before including my friends one that had over 400whp, I like them enough to spend some money on one. I have a few questions before buying oen that I am researching as much as I can, but I hope to own one soon.

Gov. Gary Herbert released his budget recommendations last week for the upcoming legislative session. Only $10 million out of a $2.4 billion education budget was allocated to early intervention, which would address children entering kindergarten already behind.
In order to reach the goal of 66 percent of Utah adults achieving a college degree or post-secondary certificate by 2020 and produce the skilled workforce necessary for high- tech businesses, Utah needs greater investment in high quality preschool and the school readiness of Utah's children, particularly low-income and at-risk children.
We know that children who start behind tend to stay behind. One of the best predictors of high school graduation and attendance in college is reading proficiency in third grade. Studies show that one of the most important predictors of third grade test performance is school readiness at kindergarten entry.
Many low-income children begin school with an opportunity gap. According to Dr. James Heckman, University of Chicago economist and Nobel laureate, children at 3 years old from low-income families have a cumulative vocabulary of 500-700 words, whereas 3-year-olds from professional families have a cumulative vocabulary of 1,100 words.
This opportunity gap in early literacy becomes an achievement gap in language arts once children enter and progress in school. High quality preschool for at-risk children closes the opportunity gap and improves school readiness, reduces the achievement gap, reduces the need for special education and other remedial services, improves high school graduation rates and improves long-term earnings for low-income children.
Heckman has written extensively on the productivity argument for investing in early childhood development: "Early interventions for disadvantaged children promote schooling, raise the quality of the workforce, enhance the productivity of schools and reduce crime, teenage pregnancy and welfare dependency."
In addition, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis economists Arthur J. Rolnick and Rob Grunewald contend that investments in human capital prior to kindergarten provide a high public return and the most efficient way to increase the productivity of the future workforce is to invest in today's youngest, especially at risk, children.
High-quality preschool is a cost-efficient and effective approach to addressing Utah's achievement gap and improving high school graduation rates. We need only to look at the results of a preschool program in Title I schools in the Granite School District for a local example of a high quality program for at-risk children that is making a difference and closing both the opportunity and achievement gap.
Children who attended the Granite School District's high quality preschool program in beginning in 2006 in the district's 11 schools most impacted by poverty are currently in fifth grade. These at-risk children, on average, performed comparably to all children in the state in language arts and math in second, third and fourth grades, even though many of these preschoolers did not speak English when they entered preschool.
Most business executives will tell you that if you are not getting the results you want in the long term, then you are not investing enough up front to lay the groundwork for success. The same is true in education. Many education leaders know that the earliest years in a child's cognitive development is the most important and lays the foundation for future academic success.
Yet, Utah invests little in early education. Additional investments in the school readiness of at-risk children before they enter school would reward all of us and move Utah toward the 66 percent goal.

A 93 year old man was asked by his doctor to produce a semen sample for an insurance physical. The doc gave him a jar and sent him home. The old man returned the next day with an empty jar. The doctor asked if the old timer at least tried. He replied, I tried with both hands, my wife tried with both hands, with her teeth in and with her teeth out, and we even had the neighbor lady try and she even put it between her knees. The doc replied, "you still couldnt come up with a sample?" Heck no replied the old man, none of us could get the lid off that damned jar!

Angels, Tigers eye James Shields, a trade candidate; Rays seek young pitching/catcher
James Shields' $9-million option for 2013 make him the most logical Rays starter to be dealt.
Rays veteran right-hander James Shields looks like a prime trade candidate and at least the Tigers and Angels are said to have interest.
There have been reports that the Rays might consider dealing any of their five viable right-handed starters. But Shields looks like the most logical candidate due to his $9-million option for 2013.
The Rays have at least seven starters once Jeff Niemann returns, so they are dealing from strength again. The Rays would seek a young catcher and/or young pitcher.
Shields, a former ace with the Rays, could attract several teams as an alternative to top pitchers Cole Hamels and Zack Greinke, who aren't guaranteed to be traded (especially Hamels, who's said to be making some progress on a deal with the Phillies).
The Angels want to strengthen their rotation considering Dan Haren's back concern and Ervin Santana's continuing struggles. The Tigers' priority right now appears to be second base, though they are always a threat to do multiple things.
There appears to be "nothing to'' the report of a multiplayer trade with the Angels that was supposed to send Shields and Ben Zobrist to the Angels for Howie Kendrick and a package of younger players, at least for now.
Shields, 8-6 with a 4.39 ERA, looked strong in a 4-3 win over the Mariners on Friday night, striking out 10. That followed four straight games in which Shields had allowed at least 10 runs.
The real issue for the Rays is Shields' $9 million option, which seems reasonable for most but might be rich for the Rays.

Drummers from The Gambia, food from Nigeria and acrobats from China can all be found in one place at a free student-run cultural festival.
Second year student at The University of Buckingham, Denzil Bankole, has already staged one market event at the home of MK Dons Football Club so decided to bring it to Buckingham.
It is part of his business model for the BSc Business Enterprise course he is on at the university and is based on an event run by his mum in East London.
Along with the drummers and acrobats at the event, there will also be a Chinese dancing lion and an Afrobeat DJ as entertainers from Asia and Africa go head-to-head to win over the crowds.
Denzil describes the show as 'an outdoor event with cultural and artist representations from eight different countries'.
The idea is that the entertainment 'cuts across the continents' to showcase some of the 'best of African and Asian artefacts, music, food and other cultural memorabilia'.
The free African Vs Chinese Festival is happening outside the Beloff Lawn at the university on Saturday, September 6 from 10am to 5pm.
The BSc Business Enterprise course was introduced in 2006 as the world's first Venture Creation Programme for which students pitch, start up and run their own business.
Businesses have included the UK's first sustainable wooden computer mouse, an environmentally-friendly festival hygiene pack and a student kit of household items for new undergraduates.
Denzil wanted to bring a taste of different cultures to the town so he approached programme director Nigel Adams with the idea.
Mr Adams said: "Denzil is one of those people that when he comes to your office, he fills up the door.
"He's quite noticeable and very entrepreneurial. His work has blossomed recently, much to his own surprise.
"The entreprenerial types sometime struggle with the academic side but he's doing better than expected."
Mr Adams said the concept of a market show is an effective one because people like to see unusual things, from different countries.
This year, there are 29 students on the course but Mr Adams, who acts as the chairman for each of the students' businesses, is hoping to boost numbers each year.
He said: "I'm not just looking for your Alan Sugars and your Richard Bransons. It's the people that you see around those types – the ones that pick up the pieces, the stable ones, they take a theory and use it straight away.
"These type of people are vital in business, otherwise it ends up in total chaos."

The Who Will Quit Touring After 50th Anniversary Tour
The Who formed in England in 1964. They released their first album, My Generation, in 1965.
Pete Townshend spoke to the Evening Standard at a screening for Sensation, which is a documentary on the band's rock opera Tommy.
Townshend says, "For the 50th anniversary we'll tour the world. It'll be the last big one for us. There are still plenty of places we've not played. It would be good to go to eastern Europe and places that haven't heard us play all the old hits."
The Who originally featured Townshend along with Roger Daltrey, drummer Keith Moon, and bassist John Entwistle. Moon died in 1978 and Entwistle passed in 2002.
Since then, Townshend and Daltrey have toured with various musicians.
Both Townshend and Daltrey plan to work on solo material, according to a source close to the band.

I eat A LOT of hummus and nuts. I found individual packed raw nuts at Trader Joe's and keep them with me in my purse all the time. I also keep a can of peanuts in my car.
So far the biggest struggle for me has been when i'm out with my kids and they want fast food. I find my cravings come back when i'm exposed in that manner but thankfully i've been able to stick to it with a lot of prayers and by making really wise choices.
I find that gourmet vegan/raw is a little much for me right now. Simple is better in my opinion in the beginning. Trader Joe's sells a lot of great tasting vegan products. If you like Hummus it's a great source of protein and has some olive oil in it so you get some fats too. If you need something simple and quick they sell brown rice that is precooked and frozen, you just pop it in the microwave and in a couple minutes it's done. Nuts are a great snack as are dehydrated fruits/raisons.
Drink a lot of water. I also cut soda completely out pretty well cold turkey. I did get massive headaches though so when a headache would come on I would allow myself 1/2 soda and titrate down to now, a week later, I have a single sip.
If you have a VitaMix you can put frozen fruit in it and make a wonderfully satisfying smoothie. You can also add some Agave to sweeten it if you need it sweeter. I also found my craving for chips satisfied by making homemade kale chips with cashews and a little nutritional yeast.
I think it gets easier with time and when you are passionate about why you are doing it. Also a key for success is to clear out your cupboards and eliminate the junk food or the things that will cause you to fail. I found craving sweets to be hard for me the first couple days too so I got some spice drops/jelly beans that met my criteria aka vegan. Sometimes a sweet red orange will satisfy me as well :)
Give it time and don't beat yourself up when you cave, it's a natural part of it. Some people have an easy time and for others it takes an elimination type diet over a few weeks to get to the point where they are no longer craving bad foods. Good luck and keep at it

A lot of junk food is vegan. And I know a lot of fat vegans.
I am a muscular vegetarian. Why would you ever give up goat cheese?
I cut out all shitty polyunsaturated fats and use only extra virgin coconut butter. Also, take your B-12 and omega-3s, because your diet is deficient in those. That is the best advice I can give to a vegan.

That makes a bit more sense,than vegan diet
to be honest I don't know why anyone would cut out a nice piece of steak now and again out of their diet, I think people should eat everything but in moderation and you dont have to eat meat every day but sometimes a piece of meat will do no harm to you as you ll get harm for stressing out for not eating meat

Do a whole body cleanse.
You need to remove the chemicals, etc. from the foods and the cravings will go away.
Be sure to get all your vitamins and minerals too or you will have cravings, but at lease they would be 'good' cravings :)
Free your mind and the rest will follow.

I am having a hard time changing. I always crave bad food and give in to the temptation. so, how long does it take before you stop thinking about these junkfoods??Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1367714
be sure to take suppliments especially of B12... otherwise and chemical imbalance will also make you crave foods that will feed you what you need. Nuts and hummus alone is a diet to die of.
the hardest thing about changing diet is getting VARIETY enough for all the needs of the body.
are you getting enough calcium and magnesium???
No Vit. B 12 and it is an ugly disease that comes your way and when it hits hard, it is sooo hard to turn around.. also no calcuim and Mag, and your body will ache and bones will break.
Might be a long time before you stop thinking about the foods you left behind. Make some simple snacks to eat, small portions... for when you are craving the other, eat something healthy right then. This helps you to reform the thoughts you have had.
Vegan is a great way to live and over time you will feel and look younger healthier and have so much vitiality.
I cannot do only vegan, I need my butter and cheese. Other than that I dop fine with it. I look 10 years younger than my peers (meat eaters!!) I have more mental stamina and memory too!
Just make sure your diet is well rounded then the craving go away.... for the body will call on what it thinks it need to supply them and old habits as well.
nuts are my favorite snack.. so I mix up a bag with about three kinds, add a few rasians and also a few chocolate covered almonds, to add a tny bit of sweet and I will snack on these when I need a boost. The tiny amount of chocolate is enough to make my cravings for other stuff go away fast. Nuts give me instant energy! and are filling. YOu do not need to eat many!

While whey protein is on the market, you need to ingest MORE than with animals based protein.
Fats are needed. People think all fats are bad, this is hardly the truth, you need fats, sugars, proteins along with all of the other nutrients.
I do not know what 'bad-food' means to you, however if you are craving something, usually your body is lacking something.
People crave sugar because the body needs sugar. Sugars are the energy source for the body. We are designed to convert carbohydrates into sugars (potatoes, rice, wheat) which is released into the blood stream slowly.
Since the advent of the modern era and processed sugars we have gotten an overdose of sugar. If your diet had high amounts of sugar you will need to ween yourself off, or run a risk of blood sugar disorders.
If its fats, then most likely your body is screaming for those fats because it has become addicted to it. However, the body does NEED some fats, thus you will need to make certain that your diet supplements fats. Nuts are a good source.
Salt is the second biggest junk-food addiction. We need salt, however if we have had a habit of ingesting too much salt all the time our body will need to be weened off of it. Again, we do need salt, you will need to supplement.
If its meat you are craving, its most likely a protein issue. One of the most difficult things for a vegan to do is to get large sources of complex protein. While the body can absorb some from vegetable matter, we are designed to strip protein more efficiently from animal sources. This goes all the way back to when you were an infant and drinking an animal product (mom's milk).

Your body is craving high carbs and sugars. You need to cut out all of that for 2 weeks before your body will stop craving.....after that it is much, much easier to get by without, in fact, you won't even want it . No fruits, no breads, no processed foods, no sugars, for 2 weeks. It's not as hard as it sounds......
Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. You can feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love. What is God? The Eternal One Life underneath all the forms of life. What is love? To feel the presence of that One Life deep within yourself and within all creatures. To be it. Therefore, all love is the love of God.
Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to die before you die - and find that there is no death.

Much chatter about Guardian Media Group's appointment of departing Virgin Media chief Neil Berkett as chairman.
Predecessor Dame Amelia Fawcett, who steps down in September after four years, did not have a reputation for being hands-on and GMG made a pre-tax loss in three of the past four years. Berkett may be more involved. He knows GMG well, having been a non-executive director since 2009, and believed in the virtue of subscribers paying at Virgin, which points to charging for the Guardian website. An observer says another issue should be succession planning for the roles of editor-in-chief and chief executive. But Berkett will know GMG's owner, the Scott Trust, led by Dame Liz Forgan, also has a big say.

There has already been gossip about how "new" News Corporation, the spun-off publishing company which owns the Sun and The Times, could relocate from Wapping to the mini-Shard, the building which stands close to The Shard. But it looks like ex-Times editor Thomson, pictured, is eyeing a move to London's tallest tower.

The group spent £3.4 million on "reorganisation" costs, including redundancies, and that was before a big round of lay-offs this spring. The unnamed highest-paid director enjoyed a pay rise of £100,000 to £900,000.

Help with outdoor fireplace design
I'm planning to build an outdoor fireplace in the next year and I have some questions.
The main structure will be concrete block with fire brick for the fire box. We want the exterior to be stone with a dry stacked look. Not sure if we'll be using something pretty regular like a landscaping stone or not. Anyway, I was wondering how to affix them to the block structure? Just mortar on the backside. I live in an area that goes through freeze/thaw cycles so I'm worried about ice forming in the joints and cracking everything.
Also, should I build a foundation below the frost line or just do a 4 inch pad? It will be built off of a paver patio so a little movement isn't the end of the world.
For example, you'll turn up this drystack design: :)
Are you building a fire pit or a fireplace. If a fireplace, what is going to be behind it? Or is it to be freestanding?
Can you do a quick sketch of the footprint? I use Sweet Home 3D for such things and it is free and open source. Others on this site like SketchUp. Even a quick pencil sketch with anticipated dimensions and position relative to structures would help.
How the "stone" is affixed to the block depends on exactly what material you're using. Cultured or natural thin veneer can indeed be applied with plain mortar, possibly with a little bonding agent.
As for frost protection, there's no guarantee it will last w/o frost-protected footings, but it would help to know where you're located........
I also want to add a little color to by backyard, that is why I want to build a fire pit and maybe a pizza oven. You should check this guides I've found on the internet, maybe you'll add a brick dome.

small pizza oven
Maybe they aren't what you're looking for, but I think it's better to see some examples before deciding your final design.
Stone Fire Pit Ideas
Let me know if my website about stone fire pit can help. Please check out my website at: ----------
Well, I think you should use brick veneer on the exterior. Brick veneer looks cool and the main difference between indoor and outdoor brick veneer products is the added factor of natural elements.Brick veneer is suited for transforming the look of any space. Whether it be in the kitchen, living room or backyard. I am telling you all this from my personal experience when we decided to use brick veneer on the exterior of my sister's house. At starting We were very confused about the selection of the brick veneer but I think the decision was right. In my opinion you should use brick veneer and if you want any ideas about it you can consider hiring some home designers which have in-depth knowledge in this field.Also I think you can consider this http://www.northstarstone.biz/blog/f...ce-for-a-home/ blog post for further information
I've a good friend that has an outdoor pizza oven and his advice is BE SURE you're using a design that's PROVEN. Just any old dome shape won't work as effectively as one that's designed to work as a baking oven. Yeah, people have been making ovens like this for centuries, sure, but there are benefits to doing it right.
As long as you follow the manufacturer's recommended methods and use products known to be suitable in your climate there's really not much to justify any one product being better or worse than another.

With the start of the summer transfer window drawing ever closer, the clubs are constantly making moves behind the scenes.
Last year, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho acted fast in the summer window and the 51-year-old has reaped the rewards this season. Arguably the most influential additions Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa arrived at Stamford Bridge by mid-July but the Portuguese manager would've been drawing up plans months in advance. And the Special One has already bagged one signing.
But it's Manchester United who have made the biggest signing so far with the acquisition of Memphis Depay, with the Dutch star having completed his medical earlier this week.
The Evening Standard broke the news that Raheem Sterling will 'definitely' quit Liverpool this summer. The player's agent, Aidy Ward, said an offer of £900,000-a-week would not keep the England star at Liverpool, while Arsenal were reported to have sealed a deal for Arturo Vidal.
Last week, Mourinho confirmed that he was looking to bring 'two to three' signings to the Bridge, with Antoine Griezmann, Paul Pogba and Raphael Varane all on his wishlist.
Yesterday, having been linked with a move for Christian Benteke in the morning, Tottenham were reportedly preparing to move for Crystal Palace star Yannick Bolasie, while Arsenal gave up on Morgan Schneiderlin.
But what's in store today?
Brendan Rodgers has his eye on a Tottenham man and Chelsea could lose another striker - that's what.
Keeping up so far? Here's the latest!

Election day has passed, and we can all chill out somewhat. I know that I'm doing so. Suddenly, my attention span has been restored. It no longer resembles a flea in size and tempo.
It's the first election that my kids actually noticed…and I am happy that the guy they rooted for won. It will probably give them a good start in terms of an imprint of general optimism about politics and democracy.
The night before, Elizabeth (Mothering's marketing director) and I got together with our kids and made PB & J sandwiches, cookies, and muffins to sustain the voters during their potentially long wait at the polls. The kids were initially going to help, but ran off to play in Honorée and Nathaniel's room. Noelani, Elizabeth's daughter, is a little younger than Nathaniel, and they all get along really well. I think that H. and N. like to pretend that she's their little sister. Everything was going really well until Noelani came running out, in sobs. "Mommy, I'm really TIRED," she wailed. "I really want to go home and go to BED!" It was beautiful in its purity…we should all be so clear when we need rest.
"And mommy, what are MUMMIES?" she asked. "They told me about MUMMIES and they sound SCAREEEEE…"
Oh, great…"I'm so sorry," I said. "I didn't tell them about mummies…"
But, Elizabeth was totally cool about it. Must remember to impress on the kids that they should not give The Fear to younger kids. As much as it can be a teeny bit devilishly fun to do so (well I remember scaring my younger sibs).

A Rant About My Sexist Week
There has been too much sexism is surrounding me this week and it's really getting me down.
To start, a boy I know who I considered one of my friends and who knew about my intolerance for sexism thought it'd be really hilarious to pull the: "Do you want to hear a joke? Women's rights" joke on me. The first couple of times he said this I ignored him. But then after a few more times, I told him to fuck off. He has continued to repeat it to me all of this week. The worst thing is, he's not even just being a jerk because he thinks it's funny, he even said "It's hard for a man …

|Method of Instruction -
|Lecture, Discussion, Self-paced, Electronic discussions/chat, Demonstration
|Lab Content -
|Supervised in-class guitar practice
|Types and/or Examples of Required Reading, Writing and Outside of Class Assignments -
|If the student chooses not to do a presentation, they must submit an eight page research paper with notes and bibliography. Subjects include anything related to the classical guitar from the players and composers to the physics of tone production.
A one to two page concert review is a required writing assignment. Details on the performer(s), repertory, and location are essential; however, more value is placed on the student's critical narrative of the event.
The review should deal with aspects of the concert that are considered most important or striking. Be sure--always--to concentrate on musical matters, although brief discussions of other aspects of the concert may be included. In the process, talk about the works performed, how they were presented, how well the performers presented the music, and what made the performances effective or ineffective.
Compose your review on scrap paper. Feel free to take notes during the performance. The final version should be done on a computer or typewriter. When writing about events that occurred at the concert, use the past tense. (Example: "Although the guitarist was quite good, I thought that she was far too loud to blend well with the flute player") But when writing about a particular musical composition or work of art, use the present tense. (Example: "In Villa Lobos Choro no. 1 , the third section in E Major seems to serve as a triumphal conclusion to the struggle of the preceding three sections in E
Finally, Be Objective! Comparisons of pieces and performers should be avoided unless it is to make an argument regarding Music History or Analysis. Reviews are most effective when they are honest and show that you seriously engaged the music and performance.

marriage is the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife while friendship is a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard

"This is truly a great day for Temple Football as Steve Addazio is the perfect coach to take the program to the next level," Temple University Director of Athletics Bill Bradshaw said. "Steve brings a wealth of experience with some of the nation's best programs. As one of the top recruiters in the country, Steve will be able to bring talented players to Temple, and with his vision and passion for the game, he will be able to lead them to success on the field."
Addazio announced at his press conference on Thursday that he will serve as the team's offensive coordinator and be heavily involved in the offense. The type of offense he will run at Temple is still up in the air, but it could be a pro-style offense, which is what he worked with until he came to Florida in 2005.
Addazio made the move to Florida because of his previous relationship with Meyer. The two were on the same staff in 1999 and 2000 at Notre Dame when Bob Davie was the head coach.
"I am honored," Addazio said. "I am humbled to be standing here as the head football coach at Temple University. I will give everything I have to make Philadelphia and the University community proud."
The hire makes sense because of Addazio's ties to high schools in the northeast. When the Gators found a player they liked in that region, Addazio served as their ace recruiter to get the player.
Addazio was heavily involved in the recruitment of players like Aaron Hernandez, Josh Evans, Will Hill, Jordan Reed, Justin Trattou and Tyler Murphy, who was committed to Temple before he flipped to the Gators.
ESPN named Addazio the 2009 recruiter of the year. After Urban Meyer resigned following the 2009 season, Addazio worked extra to hold Florida's No. 1 recruiting class together.
"I'm happy for Steve Addazio and his family," Meyer said. "Steve has been extremely loyal to me and the University of Florida, and I will be forever thankful for his unwavering commitment. His energy and passion have been well documented and he is a tremendous recruiter and motivator. He is well respected by his peers and his players and I wish him nothing but the best."
The staff Addazio was a part of continues to look more impressive. The Gators won a national championship in 2006 and 2008, with each staff having four assistants that now have head coaching jobs. Addazio is the second assistant to get a head-coaching job this offseason, as Dan McCarney took the North Texas job earlier this month.
"Steve has been a big part of our success the last six years at the University of Florida," Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said. "Everyone that knows Steve knows what a loyal and passionate coach he is. He cares deeply about the players he coaches, and he was a great motivator in the locker room. He has the ability to relate to players, but still maintains their respect. He was one of our top recruiters and his ties to the Northeast will be a good fit for Temple. More than anything, Coach Addazio is a good man with a good family. We wish him the best of luck."
Addazio took plenty of heat from fans this past season, but he was always a favorite of the players. He was fiery, whether in practice or on the sideline during a game. His enthusiasm made him the coach in charge of pregame speeches, and the players loved to play for him.
"Steve is a great football coach," Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen said. "He's a great motivator. Players really respond to him. He has a great relationship with his players, and he gets his players to play hard for him. He's very passionate about what he does, and those are all the things you look for in a coach."

Sprint, with its WiMax network, was the first to offer 4G service in the country and also was the first to make 4G enabled handsets available to its customers. The carrier expanded its 4G service to Los Angeles today and Michael Galluccio, Sprint Sales Manager New York Metro, said that, "Other carriers may claim to have a 4G network. but right now Sprint is the only national carrier with a true 4G network." And count the executive as one of those that believe that when it comes to pipelines, size matters. He said, "How well it works depends on the size of your pipe. Fortunately, Sprint has a big pipe."
Ironically, not one of the carriers so-called 4G networks meets the definition of 4G as laid out by the ITUs Radiocommunication Sector. But the damage has already been done. Both Sprint and T-Mobile have phones with 4G in the name and as far as the public knows, all of the claims made by the carriers are perfectly legitimate.
This could end up in court if one or more of the carriers wants to challenge a competitor's position, or if consumers feel that they are being ripped off by an improper use of the "4G" title. This story is just being written and we have a long way until we get some clarification.

After 7 years of management -- first running Forrester's Infrastructure & Operations team, then Security & Risk, and finally the CIO Group Leadership Board -- I decided it was time to move back onto the front lines and joins the Analyst ranks again. I am now fortunate to be working closely with Ted Schadler, co-author of Empowered and countless other pieces of great research over the years, on enterprise mobile strategy for our CIO clients. If you haven't read the latest research by Ted and John McCarthy, Mobile Is The New Face Of Engagement, you should. This report will form the foundation of a lot of our CIO mobile research this year. Focusing on mobility research really takes me back to my Analyst roots in the early 2000s. After reading the mobile engagement report, I recalled a piece of research that Frank Gillett and I wrote back in February of 2001 called "Net App Platforms Emerge" (by the way, you'll need to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for a PDF copy if you are interested).

Costume Information
|Cost :
|under £20
|Time Taken :
|about 20 hours?
|Whew, it's finally done! I caved in and bought some tight fitting trousers from New Look after realising I had only a few days left to finish it and no spare fabric. But apart from that, it's 100% made by me and my grandma. I made most of it, and Gran healped with the shoes, poppers and the odd thing here and there.
I really enjoyed gradient dyeing the fabric, so you'll see plenty more of that on future costumes.
I changed the trousers to a skirt only because I miscut the fabric, but it turned out better anyway.
finished~ (Posted 6th September 2010)
Everything's done~ I'm going to wash the top before I wear it to any more conventions, since I managed to spill a LOT of face paint onto it XD I don't know how I was expecting this costume to come out, since so much went wrong when I was sewing it, but it was so awesome at Metrocon, since loads of people recognised the character, even though I'd made quite a few changes to it.
update~ (Posted 8th July 2010)
Ok I've decided not to scrap the top, even though I'm not 100% happy with it. The brown stuff is being cut out at the moment, and the trousers need ironing and dying. But all of that shouldn't take too long~

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
i was arrested for a pfa VIOLATION and it was mostly due to a drug problem my girlfriend had made a deal saying if i took a guilty plea and had drug and alcohol classes i could get out that day in court and i also took that guilty plea because i had my project manager tell my mother that i didnt have to worry that my job was safe so thats another reason y i took the guilty plea and when i was released from prison i was ignored by my employer for 2 weeks till he finally told me he already started the interviewing process for a new employee and that he could not take me back that i should check back in a month and he will see if he can squeeze me in and its been 4 he didnt want to hear my situation and i only spent 10 days in jail and worked for them for 7 months and now i am unemployed and on my way to being homeless and i cant file for unemployment till july 6th so is this wrongfull termination or am i *** out of luck please help i do not kno what i should do????
"i only spent 10 days in jail and worked for them for 7 months "
Being absent from your job (other than with FMLA protection which doesn't apply to jail) is a valid legal reason to lose your job.
"so is this wrongfull termination"
No. Wrongful termination is when someone is terminated because of their age, race, gender, religion etc. Title VII reasons prohibited by law. Getting arrested and landing in jail is not protected by law.
"i cant file for unemployment till july 6th"
You may not be eligible for UI benefits. Some states consider getting arrested and jailed egregious misconduct and do no award benefits. It is very state specific and you should file.
"what i should do?"
Find a new job ASAP. Your employer did nothing illegal.
In the future please use proper sentences, capitalization, and punctuation. Your post is VERY hard to read without it. Also contain your post to one forum. Multiple posts aren't necessary and violate site rules.
"That's just my opinion, then again I might be wrong." Dennis Miller
Thanks for stating the obvious, sorry for the lack of commas dots and capitalization, with this screwed up world i have the hardest time finding a job but thanks for nothing from what i hard is that if u have a drug problem that u cannot be fired for that. But i did apply for benefits and was denied it because i did not meet the max of income i needed to collect thats all they told me and i selected the icon for being incarcerated so i have to wait till july 6th so i can add 4 qtr 09 and 1st qtr 10 to get the max out of the benefits and i live in pa so do u kno if being in jail effects me from excepting unemployment after being in jail for 10 days for a civil contempt?
Being fired for spending 10 days in jail is not a wrongful termination. So, suing your ex-employer here won't get you anything. As for what to do next, well, you know what you need to do: file for the unemployment benefits (and hope your claim is not rejected) and look for a new job. And if you haven't overcome the drug problem, that should be a priority. Drug addiction will continue to mess up your life up if you don't get that under control.
"what i hard is that if u have a drug problem that u cannot be fired for that."
Some of the most dangerous and misleading words are "I heard" when it comes to the law. That and "someone told me" there is no law that says they can't fire you for having a drug problem. If an employee qualifies for FMLA protection they can get up to 12 weeks leave for drug treatment without concern for losing their job.
However if an employee shows up to work impaired and under the influence of drugs the employer has every legal right to terminate them. Having a drug problem is not a protected characteristic.
"i live in pa so do u kno if being in jail effects me from excepting unemployment after being in jail for 10 days for a civil contempt? "
No one can predict how the UI folks evaluate being arrested and jailed. I have heard of other cases where someone did collect UI after being jailed. I am certain it is very case specific and each application under those circumstances is evaluated on it's own merits.
The only protection drug users have is under the ADA, if your employer has at least 15 employes, or FMLA as the previous responder already stated.
However, under the ADA, you must be in treatment and currently NOT using. The ADA does not protect current users.
Anyone can sued for just about anything.
Don't confuse the possibility of being able to sue with the possibility of winning.
You are free to file for UI benefits and see what the UI people say. Expect your former employer to contest your claim. But, you are in a nothing ventured, nothing gained situation. The worst that could happen if you file is that are exactly where you are now.
from what i hard is that if u have a drug problem that u cannot be fired for that.
You weren't fired for having a drug problem. (Actually, you CAN be fired for having a drug problem; you cannot be fired for having had a drug problem. Please notice the past tense.) You were fired for being unavailable for work for 10 days.
so do u kno if being in jail effects me from excepting unemployment after being in jail for 10 days for a civil contempt
The reason for your incarceration is irrelevant for UC purposes. The State will decide but I'd guess you will not be eligible as you were unavailable for work for reasons entirely within your control. Had you not chosen to get involved with drugs, you wouldn't have been convicted and jailed.
thanks for your insight it wasnt a drug problem i was just looking for some reason to back at them for firing me after all the money i made them and i was never in any trouble with them before i have never been writen up andthis was my first incident i was incarcerated on a pfa violation do to a female coming to my house and starting drama so i called the cops and they locked me up so im just waiting for uc to determine if i can get benefits. so if i have a clean record with them i dont see y i shouldnt get benefits
You won't get benefits because you were fired for cause - not showing up for work.

I chose this photo of my mother and I, taken by my father in our yard in Stuart, Florida shortly before she died in 1996.
My mother was a nurse who worked in her father's doctor's office before she met my father. My father was in the Korean War then came home and went to college. He was planning to join the FBI but then he met my mother in 1959 and his priorities changed. (How they met is another lovely story.)
Both of my parents came from emotionally strong, fair-minded families who produced kind, hard-working offspring.
I was away in college when my mother had the stroke that left her hemiplegic with aphasia. I wanted to come home. My father would not allow it.
I spent my summers caring for my mother and when I finished school, I stayed home and took care of Mom because I was needed. My father didn't want me to. I don't know how else they would have made it. He paid for a nurse during the day and I helped during the day and took care of her at night until he got home.
My mother, for all her troubles, was a gentle, good-humored woman. She couldn't talk and she couldn't walk and she struggled to feed herself but she laughed often and loved us in spite of ourselves.
My father kept working to support us and keep the house when he should have been retired and they should have been relaxing. He was bankrupt but he never declared it. We had a nice house on a two and a half acre plot with a pond suitable for canoeing and fishing. It was Dad's rural dreamhouse. Even though it was humble and plain it was full of love.
Mom survived for 12 years after her stroke. I stayed in and cared for her for the last eight of those years. Dad sought help. Mom was able to participate in the county's day care program so she could get out of the house and we could have some respite but all Dad got from politicians and other programs was "God bless you." No local politician, governor, representative or congressman queried raised a finger to help in any way.
When Bill Clinton became president and Hillary Clinton was working on healthcare issues, I nagged Dad to write her a letter detailing our story. He got a call from The White House. He thought it was a joke. It wasn't. The Clintons were coming to South Florida and they wanted to meet Dad. They had been moved by his letter, not because of our problems but because Dad hadn't begged for help. He asked for a change that would prevent other people from having to go through the same thing. He didn't want other children to give up their dreams or for other people to have to keep working into their 70s and beyond just to survive.
Meeting the Clintons was all the reward Dad has ever gotten on earth for taking care of my mother instead of abandoning her in a nursing home. Later, when he traveled to Europe to report on World War II anniversary events, President Clinton spotted him standing aside in a crowd and left his entourage to shake his hand again.
We work hard to support ourselves. We love each other. We don't have all that much but we are proud to work for what we do have. We could complain but we keep on working instead.
Caring for my mother left us with nothing much. Dad, who eventually remarried, is still working full-time at 81. It keeps him going, I think. I'll be 47 this year and have no retirement savings because I find myself, also, bankrupt but not declaring it. I'm stubbornly holding on, too. It's what we do.

The other day I witnessed a swarm at my hive. It was very impressive, (see earlier post) ..... but I couldn't understand why. This was a colony I started from a package of bees that I hived April 12th. The girls had two large brood boxes, plus two supers. I placed the supers on the hive a good 5 weeks ago. I rotated the brood boxes in a effort to get some uniform comb in each box. Over the period of the last 5 weeks, the girls were not building of comb in the two supers, that were above a plastic queen excluder. Monitoring the two supers, I only saw a small number of bees above the queen excluder. (Hmmmm.)
This afternoon I inspected the hive. Both of the brood boxes were every heavy with honey. I did find a opened queen cell at the bottom of a frame. There was far far more honey than brood in the two brood boxes. Luckily, I found fresh larva so, it looks like I have a queen that is laying. Part of the problem may be that the brood boxes are so full of honey, there isn't much comb available for brood in the two brood boxes.
I rotated the two brood boxes and removed the queen excluder from the top of the upper brood box today. I also off-set the two supers in the hope of providing a little more ventilation and encouraging movement to the two supers. (No more excluder)Having said all this .................... was the swarm caused by the brood boxes being full of honey and there being little space for new brood ??? My original queen seemed to be a real work horse and perhaps the lack of available comb made her leave. Or something else cause the swarm.What surprised me is that I still have lots and lots of bees, so this doesn't seem to make sense.Any ideas ?Regards,Tucker1

Here's 13 preemie quilts that will be going to the quilt guild next weekend. They are my most favorite thing to make because I can pretty much make 2 in a day. I wait for sales to purchase pastel fabrics and I used to get leftover batting from my friend Glenda, a longarm quilter. I have a standard checkerboard pattern that I use, 2 1/2" squares, 7 across by 7 down. There are 3 chinese coin quilts here made from some old Key West Fabrics (really, really bright). I was inspired by Mary and Vicki. They make good practice for machine quilting.
In 1997 I said "if you use enough colors, it will all go together". Fellow guild members did not believe me so I put 4 ladies to a challenge. Each month we would make a 6" block, any color, any pattern. We would trade 4 and keep one for ourself. The trade would last for 12 months. Here is the result. This is my quilt. It resides on the back of my lazy boy. Because my husband keeps the a/c at sub-zero I am always cold and always coverd by this quilt. I would say it has held up pretty well. My thanks to Glenda, Betty, Maureen and MaryJane.
Lastly, I have completed block 3, this one is Christines. It is an unusual but beautiful choice for a Christmas fabric. Christine says it's sort of shabby chic. It is a pale green with tiny bits of pink. I had several coordinating fabrics I could have used but Christine requested a white on white background.None of the colors on any of my photos are coming out so great but here's the pictures anyway. The pattern is more simplistic than blocks 1 & 2 but look at how all my points match. I'm impressed.

Now I know what that black and white checkerboard quilt is! And I agree with "more color." One teacher, Sharon ?????, told us that if you want a blue quilt you just add blue borders, etc. And that's how you make a blue scrap quilt.

Last evening me and Eileen Spitalny (co-owner of Fairytale Brownies) were invited to attend the grand opening of chef Aaron May's Copper Blues in downtown Phoenix at CityScape. Copper Blues serves over 50 craft beers on tap, along with a wide array of American style "tapas." In conjunction with the grand opening was a hilarious comedy show at StandUp Live, which is connected to Copper Blues. Pablo Francisco was the star comedian who did some great impressions and had everyone roaring with laughter! We were seated with a group of people from Par Exsalonce Salon & Spa, and when they found out we were from Fairytale Brownies they became giddy with joy. Everyone at the table was a fan, raving on and on about the gourmet chocolate brownies. They just couldn't get enough "behind the scenes" talk about the the brownies and how Fairytale came to be.
When the show came to an end the Fairytale Brownie fans were sad to see us go, but we gathered business cards and address information in order to send some follow-up treats to all the raving brownie fans. "What a great night" I thought to myself as I headed home. . . it always makes me smile when I meet people who know about Fairytale Brownies, especially when they are already a fan of the fudgy chocolate treats - better known as the BEST brownies around!

Hamas leader defiant as Israel eases Gaza curbs
By Nidal al-Mughrabi
GAZA (Reuters) - Israel eased restrictions on Gaza fishermen and farmers on Saturday, Palestinian officials said, advancing a three-day-old truce brokered by Egypt after a week of fierce fighting.
Gaza's children also headed back to school in their hundreds of thousands, in another indication normal life was returning after eight days of fierce cross-border fighting in which 166 Palestinians and six Israelis were killed.
Nonetheless, senior Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar showed how fragile the ceasefire remained, with defiant remarks to reporters of how the Islamists would go on smuggling in weapons "by all possible means", including via Israel's arch-foe Iran.
A statement from the office of Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said Egypt had notified them that "Israel has allowed Palestinian fishermen to fish in Gaza's waters at a distance of 6 miles, up from 3 miles".
The Egyptian-brokered truce deal agreed on Wednesday calls on Israel to ease curbs on coastal Gaza, which it has largely blockaded since Hamas, which rejects the Jewish state's right to exist, took power there in 2007.
Israel had formally barred Gaza fishermen from heading more than 3 miles out into the Mediterranean Sea for about 3 years, its gunboats often enforcing the rule, a measure Israel said was intended to prevent weapons smuggling.
Murad Al-Issi, a member of a fishermen's group, told Reuters his colleagues had already ventured out to the 6-mile limit on Saturday, undisturbed by Israel.
"The Israeli army naval boat which used to fire and torch Palestinian boats that sailed beyond a 3-mile distance watched without doing anything to prevent them," Issi said. Continued...

The warm-up is one of the most important aspects of any training plan, yet it is often overlooked and avoided. However, as Team Standard discovered, it does not have to be a chore: it can be fun, varied and not even involve any running.
The 10 members of the team are now training for the British 10k London Run on Sunday 13 July, under the expert guidance of New Balance Technical Representative Bradley Howarth.
This year, the run welcomes New Balance as its Official Sporting Goods provider. The brand remains committed to manufacturing in Britain, making this event the perfect partner for them.
Howarth put Senior News Reporter Kiran Randhawa on an exercise bike (above) before she went out for her first training run.
"Correct warm-up is essential for efficient training and injury avoidance," Howarth explains. "Make sure that you use it to ensure you have an understanding of the different types of session that you are about to try."
Over the next two months, Team Standard will be learning more about the principles behind New Balance's Runnovation as they prepare for the British 10k London Run.
The concept is designed to make running more fun and varied and inclusive to all. "There are many different ways to warm up," Howarth adds. "You don't have to run. You can take a brisk walk, do some press-ups and squat thrusts or have a light skip. Anything that gets your heart rate up before you start running will help."
Kiran has only recently started running again following a long-term injury, so using the bike to warm up worked perfectly. "Running long distances is not really my thing," she explains. "Warming up is really important to me and incorporating as many different sessions as possible into my training plan really appeals and will keep me motivated."

At the January 2012 meeting of the Task Force for Minority Aging Research (TFMAR), a subcommittee of the National Advisory Council on Aging, a request was made and subsequently approved by Council to review health disparities research and the training of minority researchers over the prior 10 years when the last comprehensive review of those programs was conducted. This document summarizes the results of that review and the recommendations from the TFMAR to the NIA Director.
The committee noted that, although there is overlap between research and training, they are not one and the same and are to be reviewed separately. Thus, the following questions were to be addressed:
It was determined that a step-wise process would be used to address these questions.
Definition of Health Disparities
Despite improvements in the overall health of the American people, racial/ethnic minorities and other populations suffer disproportionately in the burden of illness and premature death. These populations are referred to as health disparity populations. More specifically, P.L. 106-525 defines a population as a health disparity population, "if, as determined by the Director of the Center [NCMHD/NIMHD] after consultation with the Director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, there is a significant disparity in the overall rate of disease incidence, prevalence, morbidity, mortality, or survival rates in the population as compared to the health status of the general population." As such racial and ethnic minorities (i.e., African Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, Asians, Hispanics, and Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders), low socioeconomic status, and rural persons are currently designated as health disparity populations.
Further, the committee endorsed the recommendations from the BSR review committee. Finally, the committee recommended that future evaluations of health disparities research go into much greater depth regarding content. The opportunity to do so during this review was limited by the volume of material to be covered. This might be best accomplished as part of the quadrennial review of each division, as was done with BSR.

Unfortunately, I think we will see this kind of behavior in more than just MN. I think my state is in the free and clear of this kind of stupidity. (I hope):blink:
just sent a quick email to Rep. Cornish saying that I support his proposal. I don't live in his area, but I AM a Minnesotan
MN Republicans should go in the opposite direction. How about recognizing Arizona and Florida permits, for starters! Getting rid of "force of law" for signs would be good too.
When a law is ignored by a criminal, politicians pass more laws. When those laws are ignored, the politicians pass more laws. And around and around we go. How many laws did the lunatic in Connecticut violate? How many more laws would it have taken to prevent the crimes he committed? 10? 20? 800?

Cisco's Product Efficiency Calculator
Part of building the business case for getting Greener across your infrastructure is the un-sexy task of calculating electrical and thermal efficiency. Well we've tried to make it a bit easier for you with a new calculator. You can find it in the planning tools section of the Efficiency Assurance Program. We put this together to help estimate a baseline for where your network(a) electrical efficiency is today. You notice we are saying electrical efficiency, not Green, not even energy efficiency. This tool provides you with the actual operative electrical efficiency of Cisco products. It also shows you the annual cost based on your kWh rate.We've gone with exposing electrical efficiency of our products because it is a metric that is not in dispute. It's basic physics. You will notice for each product, power supply efficiency curves are exposed. These efficiency curves are related to how efficiently our products use electricity. No fancy, padded variables here, just the facts. Measuring the electrical efficiency of Switched-mode Power Supplies (SMPS) is one place you can start today if you want to compare products. I would invite you to encourage vendors to expose these curves publicly as it will drive the industry to be more energy efficient.We've tried to make it clear that we believe the largest energy efficiency gains happen at the systems level. However, for those tthat…want to delve into the infrastructure, we have this tool. We're hoping that this tool will accommodate that level of interest. We are also hoping to get some feedback on where our customers would like to see us take this approach:Does this tool have what you need today?What other features would you like to see?Are there additional products you would like to see included?Let us know if all this energy-wash marketing holds up to the level of detail we are providing here. It should considering I designed it based of my experience in performing electrical efficiency analysis of data centers in my facilities days. I would love to hear your thoughts on how you might use this and whether you think it would be a valuable tool as part of an active management tool (dashboard modeling plug-in?).If you agree that the larger savings happen at the systems level you can also check out the Green Data Center Model Calculator also found in the planning tools section of the Efficiency Assurance Program.We also have a total cost of ownership calculator for Unifiied Computing in the same section of the program.Thanks, let us know how we're doing.
