Campus Federal Wins National Web Award
for ExcellenceFor Immediate Release
Baton Rouge, LA-September 30, 2009
Campus Federal Credit Union today announced it has received the 2009 WebAward "Credit Union Standard of Excellence" presented annually by the Web Marketing Association. The Web site, www.campusfederal.org, earned this prestigious award based on both the creativity and functionally of the overall interactive online experience. According to Ron Moreau, vice president of marketing, Campus Federal had not reengineered its Web site in several years. After tying the strategic goals of the credit union to the input from its members and in-house project team, Campus Federal partnered with Extractable, a leading user experience design agency in California, to create a user-friendly, safe, and easy to navigate site. Extractable received the Top Agency Award, which recognizes the consistently outstanding development pursued by interactive firms when creating top website designs, at the 2009 WebAward Competition, taking home a total of 25 WebAwards.
"We needed to design a state of the art Web site that tied security, functionality and convenience in one spot where members can have all of their needs addressed," said Moreau. "We don't have numerous brick-and-mortar branches, so creating an online e-branch to take care of all their banking needs was critical."
The newly designed site allows Campus Federal members to quickly and securely access personal and business accounts, pay bills online, view statements electronically, check rates in real time, even apply for home, auto, personal and business loans privately and securely. Those individuals interested in becoming a Campus Federal member will soon be able to open a new account electronically, a feature that could not have been accomplished before the new site.
Campus Federal's Web site also features e-notesSM. Rather than waiting days to receive a non-sufficient funds notice in the mail, e-notesSM can provide proactive notification via email, text message or a secured message, when balances are low or when deposits have been made, saving members embarrassment and costly fees. Members can customize the e-notesSM functionality to inform them of activities within their accounts, such as changes in their share balance, loan balance, check status, deposits/withdrawals, certificate maturity, and notification before a loan payment is due.
For members who want a private, secure conversation with a Campus Federal representative, and who do not want to call them on the phone, the Web site has a "Live Chat" capability during normal business hours to answer questions or assist with account information. After business hours members can send a secure message through online banking and will be answered by a Representative within 24 business hours. The site also features current events, press releases and fraud alerts on the website homepage, to keep the Campus Federal member community informed on important events and trends.
"From mobile banking and instant access to one of our agents or getting a loan approved electronically, Campus Federal has put security and convenience at the fingertips of all of our members," added Moreau. "Whether you're sitting in the quad on the LSU campus with your smartphone or in an office building out of state at your computer, this new e-branch is there for you, 24 hours a day, to meet your needs and your schedule."
Now in its 13th year, the Web Awards is the premier annual Web site award competition that names the best Web sites in 96 industries while setting the standard of excellence for all Website development. The WebAwards provides a benchmark by which all Web site development can be judged.

He sounds like the kind of guy who chews tobacco and eats raw snakes. Am I right? Bingo. Think of Fossett as some real-life Action Man figurine.
I do. He's not only the most successful speed sailor in the world, with seven world records under his tarpaulin, and 13 of the 22 outright world records, but he has also swum the Channel, completed the Ironman triathalon, the Iditarod dogsled race in Alaska, and driven 24 hours at Le Mans. He's also a pilot and a hot-air balloonist. Not to mention president of Chicago investment company, Larkspur Securities Ltd.
Investment company? Jeez, that guy lives on the edge. And what next for the wild man of yachting? He's off again, like the Littlest Hobo, into the wide blue yonder.
What, riding on the back of trains and playing a harmonica? Nope. Crazyass Fossett's once again attempting the last great ballooning challenge - to be the first person to fly solo around the world.
What happened the last time? Despite securing the world record for the longest duration solo flight (12 days, 12 hours and 57 minutes) and the longest distance balloon flight (14,235.33 miles), it all ended in tears. Caught in a thunderstorm just east of Australia, he tumbled 29,000ft into the Coral sea.
And survived? You bet your ass. And now he's back - and this time he means business.
And where do we have lift-off? Northam, Western Australia. Fossett will be floating over the southern hemisphere like a rotund ballerina.
This Fossett, he's like some kind of modern-day Phileas Fogg, ain't he? Yes, except faster - and without any help from Jules Verne.
That's amazing - imagine attempting a round-the-world trip without the aid of Jules Verne. And how old is Fossett? Old enough to know better.

Thinkers50 Business Guru Competition
A vast collection of short videos of business thinkers and practitioners from around the globe that captures their central messages. Good for quick studies of current thinking on a host of business topics.
The Times of London and McGraw-Hill together sponsor an annual "guru competition" – a World's Got Talent among management thinkers. Last year's winner was CK Prahalad — no big surprise, given his enduring stature, and well deserved given his fascinating work in the fourth tier. Check him and others out at www.thinkers50.com .
The winners are chosen on the basis of voting and judging – don't really know what the mix is. The criteria are:
1. Originality of Ideas
Are the ideas and examples used by the thinker original?
2. Practicality of Ideas
Have the ideas promoted by the thinker been implemented in organizations? And, has the implementation been successful?
3. Presentation Style
How proficient is the thinker at presenting his/her ideas orally?
4. Written Communication
How proficient is the thinker at presenting his/her ideas in writing?
5. Loyalty of Followers
How committed are the thinker's disciples to spreading the message and putting it to work?
6. Business Sense
Do they practice what they preach in their own business?
7. International Outlook
How international are they in outlook and thinking?
8. Rigor of Research
How well researched are their books and presentations?
9. Impact of Ideas
Have their ideas had an impact on the way people manage or think about management?
10. Guru Factor
The clincher: are they, for better or worse, guru material by your definition and expectation?
I am aware of this site because, as you will see if you visit it, I was also invited to be posted in a short video here as well, largely because of my co-authorship of The Leadership Code: 5 Rules to Lead By with Dave Ulrich and Norm Smallwood.
You may want to check it out, and see what your favorite guru has to say, or meet someone new. Would be interested to hear your impressions, either on this site, or please email me at email@example.com.

NYPD Orders Commanders to Review Stop-and-Frisk Activity
Supervising officers in the New York City Police Department tell WNYC that, in recent weeks, all precinct commanders have been instructed by the highest levels of the department to carefully review stop-and-frisk reports to ensure they reflect proper stops, and are not an effort to meet productivity goals.
These officers said they've been told by the department it's the quality, not quantity, of stop-and-frisks that matter.
WNYC has also learned that all rookie officers will receive new training on stop-and-frisk practices over the next several weeks.
The renewed attention on stop-and-frisks this spring from the top levels of the department comes just as Police Commissioner Ray Kelly is taking increasing heat for the tactic, which critics allege are conducted without reasonable suspicion of criminal activity and in a manner that racially profiles blacks and Latinos.
Three federal class actions against the city and the NYPD have now been filed for stop-and-frisk practices. Calls are mounting for the U.S. Department of Justice and New York State Attorney General to investigate the practice for civil rights violations. And potential mayoral candidates are increasingly chiming in with criticisms about the tactic.
New York Civil Liberties Union Report
The New York Civil Liberties Union added fuel to the fire Wednesday when it released a report it said supports the claim that police target blacks and Latinos when deciding when to stop someone and when to frisk, or pat down for weapons.
The analysis is based entirely on new NYPD data released for stops conducted in 2011. The electronic data is made public every year and details the age of the person stopped, whether a frisk was conducted, whether a weapon was found, whether physical force was used and the exact location of the stop in a given precinct.
According to the figures, the NYPD made 685,724 stops last year — more than six times the number of stops conducted by police during Mayor Michael Bloomberg's first year in office. This number represents the total number of stops for 2011, not the total number of unique individuals who were stopped. Many individuals get stopped several times per year.
In 70 out of 76 precincts, blacks and Latinos comprised more than half of the stops, the NYCLU's report found. Even in precincts where blacks and Latinos represent 14 percent or less of the population, they were the ones stopped in more than 70 percent of the cases, according to the report.
Blacks and Latinos were also shown to be frisked, after being stopped more often than whites who were stopped.
The report also stated that the number of stops of young black men exceeded the city's entire population of young black men, and that 90 percent of blacks and Latinos stopped were innocent.
"Under this administration, we have come to see a two-tiered system of policing in New York," said Donna Lieberman, executive director of the NYCLU. "There's the kinder, gentler policing that we see on the Upper East Side or in Park Slope, and the up-against-the-wall policing we see in Brownsville and Harlem. This cannot stand."
In an email to WNYC, police spokesman Paul Browne said the department has never used racial profiling when conducting stops and that stops reflect physical descriptions provided by crime victims.
"Stops can't be measured by race of the resident population as the NYCLU tries to do, but by the race of individuals committing crimes. They could point out in any given precinct that the precinct population is over 50% women, but we stop men 90% of the time. That's because 90% of the perp population is men," he stated.
But according to the recorded justifications for the stops conducted in 2011, physical description was not the predominant reason individuals were stopped. Police data shows that only 10.5 percent of stops were conducted because officers believed the individual was a suspect in a violent crime and only 15.9 percent of stops were conducted because officers believed the individual fit a relevant description. Meanwhile, more than half of all stops in 2011 were done allegedly because the individual exhibited "furtive movements."
The NYCLU noted that after more than 685,000 stops last year, 780 guns were recovered. In 2003, a roughly similar number of guns were recovered – 604 – after only 160,851 stops.
Browne said using gun recovery figures to measure the efficacy of stop-and-frisks is misguided.
"Because the frisk is conducted for safety reasons, the Police Department does not gauge the success of a stop on whether contraband was discovered," he said.
Meanwhile, Browne pointed out, since 1990, the murder rate in New York City has declined substantially – from 2,245 murders in 1990 to 515 murders in 2011, which represents a 77 percent drop.
A Proposal for Stop and Frisk Audits
Public Advocate Bill de Blasio appeared in front of City Hall calling on Mayor Bloomberg to issue an executive order requiring the NYPD to reduce unwarranted stop-and-frisks and closely track the use of the tactic in each precinct.
"It's a valid policing tool, but it's a tool that's now being overused," said de Blasio, a likely Democratic candidate for mayor. "We have to right-size it. We have to figure out the amount that actually increases security and doesn't undermine the future of police-community relations."
De Blasio said the department should routinely challenge commanding officers during "Compstat" meetings if certain precincts show a high number of stops. Compstat is a management system used by the NYPD to track crime data, involving weekly meetings at police headquarters where commanders are held accountable for any recent changes in crime rates and asked about arrest and summons activity in their precincts. De Blasio said rigorous questions about stop-and-frisks should be included in those meetings.
De Blasio believes such an audit system would put the onus on the precinct commanders to justify their stop-and-frisk numbers and to figure out the proper number of stops.

May 5, 2012
A few days ago I posted up the first review, and was stoked with the response – thanks to all the readers on the site, on Facebook – I'm working on Twitter and G+ integration as well for you social mediaphiles.
Gear Vault #1!
I dipped randomly into the murky depths of my Photobucket account, and came out with this:
My first real Gibson Les Paul!!
I was so fucking excited to get this thing. I believe the year was 2006 – the background in my guitar photos usually reminds me of where I was living at the time, and in 2006 I was in my second year of uni, living at a shitty flat with some of my bandmates at the time. Later on, shit got real, and everyone turned douchetastic, with crazy flatmate carnage ending in a fight with the police getting called… but that's a story for another time.
I got this off a guy I knew on an online guitar forum, and was so excited to own my first Gibson LP (used by so many of my guitar heroes that it wasn't funny), that I neglected to observe one very basic thing – did you see it?
The "Les Paul" silkscreen that should be on the headstock? It isn't fucking there.
Holy crap!!! I didn't even realise until I proudly posted pictures on the net, and people were all like, hey dude, what's up with that fucked up headstock.
Luckily, it wasn't a fake – just some sort of weird refinish job. Or so I hoped!
Looking back now – it had a dodgy headstock, but by God (or insert deity of choice), it was a Les Paul. It had a good weight to it, played well, and sounded like beefy LP goodness.
Now, I've played a fair number of Gibsons since then, and now I can tell whether a guitar is a dog or not – but with this one, I honestly can't remember (it was a long time ago and I was pretty green), but it doesn't matter. It was my first Les Paul, the first "true" connection I had to the guys I'd spent hours trying to emulate. Put that shit up vertically on your knee and slap a tophat on, and away you go.
When was the first time you got an "iconic" guitar that you were super stoked about? What was it?

Dirty Stop Out
I have a tenant in a maisonette who recently has been spending alot of time out of town looking for work and accomodation with a view to vacate my property, but in the meantime, he has allowed a relation and his girlfriend to use the maisonette while he is away without any permission from me. He must be claiming for something other than LHA because his payments are no longer covering his rent. He has a 6 month AST which runs out on 3 April 2006. He is in arrears and I understand I can serve a S8, but would this situation come under sub-letting, and what should I do about the couple living in the maisonette?
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Heerbrugg, Switzerland. Leica Microsystems launches a high-precision scanning stage for stereo microscopes and macroscopes, the Leica LMT260 XY Scanning Stage. To ensure successful experiments, it offers a repeatability of 0.25 μm for samples weighing less than 0.5 kg, and of 1 μm for heavier loads of 1.5 kg. This repeatability is reached at a resolution of 5 nm. Such precision is especially interesting for users who perform time-lapse experiments such as mark and find, or multi-well screenings.
"We know that every micrometer counts when imaging several samples at different XY positions", says Dr. Björn Fuchs, Product Manager, Leica Microsystems. "The Leica LMT260 XY Scanning Stage is ideal for time-lapse experiments, but also when it comes to scanning large areas with high magnification. After the software has divided the sample into a grid, the stage moves along this grid to the points of interest." The software modules Multistep of Leica Application Suite (

Like Strahan, Nootbaar is a junior, so he will have a decision to make between turning pro or finishing up four years at USC. Swick and Wheatley have maximized their eligibility.
Nootbaar had a 2.81 ERA in nine appearances this season.

text: ELMA, N.Y., March 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Servotronics, Inc. (NYSE Amex – SVT) reported an approximate 23.4% increase in Net Income to $2,626,000 (or $1.31 per share Basic and $1.24 Diluted) on Revenues of $34,181,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to a Net Income of $2,128,000 (or $1.08 Basic and $1.01 Diluted) on Revenues of $31,659,000, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company primarily attributes the year to year increase in Net Income to increased sales at the Company's Advanced Technology Group (ATG) in combination with cost containment activities and a decrease in the effective tax rate associated with the applicability of the appropriate tax credits. The year ended December 31, 2011 marked the completion of a challenging ten-year period that included many domestic and global record-breaking events that had significant adverse effects on the domestic and foreign economies. Fortunately, Servotronics is benefiting from the recovering economy and the increasing procurements of domestic and foreign jet liners that are experiencing upward trends. Conversely, the Department of Defense's annual budget has become a target of opportunity to reduce expenditures and reallocate funds consistent with the appropriate response to the changing geo-political needs of the world. Also, the maintenance of the country's supply chain in support of the American Aerospace industry is a major concern and will, hopefully, be strongly supported notwithstanding any suggested alternatives. Also, the United States maintains a strong U.S. Aerospace trade surplus which adds support for the U.S. Aerospace Industry. Servotronics believes it has strategically positioned itself by continuing to design and develop new products for new applications/programs across a multiple of industries. Although there is always a certain degree of uncertainty with all planned courses of action, the ability to respond quickly is a carefully developed Company skill that has substantial value when evaluating strategic and tactical plans of action. It is anticipated that over the near term the operating results for certain of the Company's products will be responsive to the volatility of certain of the government's procurement procedures and other unexpected economic events.

Collins heads into the season ranked 10th on USF's all-time assists list with 355 and the Houston native needs 125 more to break into the top five. Collins ranked fourth in school history with 194 assists last season after grabbing the eighth spot in USF's single-season record book with 161 as a freshman in 2011-12.

The Bulls were picked eighth in the AAC Preseason Coaches' Poll and will host league favorite Louisville on Jan. 22 at the Sun Dome. UConn, picked second in the poll, makes a trip to Tampa on Feb. 26 and the Bulls will open the conference season at home against Memphis, ranked third in the poll, on Dec. 31.

I use bare escentuals and it's basically the same thing. I hate liquid foundation so i use powders and creams. They have very good stuff but i'm definitely not liking the new design. I use a lot of their eye shadows also. I have about 40 and they don't have the lock lids. I also use Lancome, Prescriptives and Benefit, and i used to use a MAC bronzer but it dries out your skin horribly after a while so i started using Hope In a Jar under any type of powder i plan to use.

I clean mine with a leather cleaning cream. It gets the gunkies off and keeps the leather from drying out.
Some of the leather conditioners and cleaners leave an oily shiny look that I don't like.
Check with a boot shop or saddle shop for some you like and see how much nicer that holster will look.

Robyn loves her friends, enjoys her youth group, and looks forward to meeting cute Caleb Montague. But when a caustic news reporter challenges her school's prayer team, Robyn must choose: defend their right to meet on campus and pray for whomever they wish or back down at the principal's request.
Now she must learn what God wants her to do. And she had better learn fast, because there's a supernatural enemy in town whose sole mission is to stop her—no matter the cost.
Read an excerpt!
From a comfortable height above the trees, Sebastian circled the abandoned paper mill, drinking in the atmosphere of dereliction and decay surrounding the property. This place has more character than most of the humans I know. Half broken windows winked like the evil eyes of wayward souls, while snow drifts gathered in the corners. The wind toyed with the snow, whipping trails that could chill his feet and ankles. If he had feet and ankles, that is.
Slipping through a second-story window, Sebastian watched a rat scurry across the dusty floor in a dash for the shadows. Like an angry cloud—black as asphalt, thick as cigar smoke—Sebastian floated after the rodent, watching with mild interest as it raced for another shadow and nearly collided with an old tom cat whose eyes glowed bright with hunger. The tom sprang, but Sebastian turned away. He didn't have time for these cat and mouse games today, no matter how much he enjoyed them. He had bigger game to consider, and as he moved over the room, he thought about the girl he'd come to destroy.
Sebastian peered through the panel of small rectangular windows overlooking the town of Brookfield, fifty in all, though most were broken, and he yawned as he watched the town stretch with morning life. Humans filtered in and out of the corner diner, scampered about in their shiny cars, and huddled against the wind in mindless oblivion. Sebastian's mouth curled into a sneer.
Read the reviews!
Driven is a breathtaking book of tension, intrigue, and heartwarming emotion. From the moment I began to read until the very last word, I couldn't put it aside. It held me enthralled!
--Lindsay Below, author of Head Over Hand-Bought Heels
Driven by Shellie Neumeier will leave every teen wanting to know what happens next in the lives of these prayer warriors. Shellie creates realistic characters, angels, and demons. A must have for every teen struggling through real life adventures. Shellie spins an amazing story that helps show the reader the path in finding Jesus and asking him into your life under any circumstance.
—Cheryl Ecklund, creator of Our Wisdom Shared; Parents of Chronically Ill Children, Sharing.
Oily creatures of the night are seeking to destroy a group of teens at Brookfield Central High School. Their primary target? A resilient teenage girl who refuses to question her calling. But how much guilt, how much pain, and how much accusation can one human take? Laced with other-worldly plot threads akin to Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness, Shellie Neumeier's debut novel inspires followers of Christ to stand strong in God's calling regardless of tragic circumstances. Along the way she explores tragedy in friendships and the beauty of redemption.

Ocala Boys & Girls Club Trashed, Police Search for Vandal
Published July 16th, 2013
Loading Video...
OCALA - Police are stepping up their patrols around the Boys and Girls Club of Marion County after someone broke in over the weekend and caused thousands of dollars worth of damage.
Police say sometime between 3 p.m. Saturday and Noon on Sunday, someone gained access to the locked facility by smashing in one of the windows.
The vandal used a pool ball from a billiards table to smash in several bathroom mirrors, a flat screen TV, as well as the glass backstops on two of the gymnasium basketball hoops.
In addition, the vandal tried to set fire to the kitchen by placing paper on top of the stove.
Boys and Girls Club officials say in all, up to $8,000 worth of damage was done.
"Walking through the club and seeing the damage, it was somebody who was just apparently taking some pleasure in the joy of destroying things. And that's pretty sad," said Michael Warren, Chair of the Boys and Girls Club Volunteer Board.
Ocala police say even though nothing was stolen from the club, they're still taking this act of vandalism very seriously.

Tales from the French Quarter (edition 2010)
by Kalila Smith
Work details
Tales from the French Quarter by Kalila Smith
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Strange book that could definitely use some editing (both typos/proofreading issues and organization). Interesting tidbits and personal stories from the author's experiences as a medium and ghost tour manager in the French Quarter of New Orleans, but some stories seem totally unrelated (many are nowhere near the French Quarter)...and some are just too creepy for me.
If you are looking for a collection of ghost stories about New Orleans this is not that book. This book contains a few modern ghost stories but is primarily concerned with the author and her experiences both mondane and supernatural. In all an interesting read. I particularly appreciated her impression on the impacts of katrina on the people and spirits of the city.

The App Internet: What It Means For Tablet Product Strategists
Posted by Sarah Rotman Epps on February 28, 2011
- 566 Recommendations
- 2 comments
My colleague John McCarthy just published an excellent report sizing the "App Internet," a phenomenon Forrester defines as "specialized local apps running in conjunction with cloud-based services" across smartphones, tablets, and other devices. Tablet devices alone will generate $8.1 billion in global app sales in 2015, up from $300 million in 2010. This is a huge number, but as the report explains, it's only a fraction of the total spend on apps when you factor in the cost to develop the apps and reinvent the processes behind the apps. This is no surprise to companies like News Corp., which will have spent $30 million through June 30 on "The Daily" iPad app. That $30 million included major process reinvention such as building an entirely new content management system to handle the all-digital production of The Daily's newsroom.
I recommend that product strategists developing experiences for tablets read John's report. Some key takeaways:
- Apps are a source of dynamism and innovation for tablets. What we've seen with tablets is that even on the iPad, consumers report spending more time using browsers than using apps, but apps are an important part of the experience. iPad owners in Forrester's January 2011 consumer survey report downloading, on average, 20 apps for their iPads since getting the device, and spending an average of $34 on tablet apps.
- Next-generation apps will raise the bar from what we've seen so far. John's report provides more context around how experiences on apps can and should be different from experiences on browsers: taking advantage of context, intelligence, and power of the local device; working offline; engaging with other apps on the device and increasingly on other types of devices.

For an 'App Internet' example...
Comment from Glen of Formotus (not verified) on Mon, 02/28/2011 - 18:19
...of local apps running in conjunction with cloud-based services, check out Forms Central by Formotus in the App Store and Android Market, and read about it here:
In this case the local native app is a single client for each device type, and the specialized local solution is provided from the cloud as XML-based business forms.
Enterprise apps to cloud example
Comment from Bo Stahlbrandt (not verified) on Tue, 04/26/2011 - 10:43
There are several good examples on the net of enterprise apps connecting to SaaS based services and I am convinced we will see a radical increase in these numbers already this year. We are delivering mobile enabling solutions connecting the enterprise users with their documents and processes that they store in their cloud services.

For the second straight year, the Triton softball team will host the Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament.
The six-team tournament kicks off at 3:30 on Friday May 6 when Highland and Audubon, ranked No. 2 by the Courier-Post, face one another and Sacred Heart plays Paul VI. Host Triton and GCIT play at 5 p.m.
Games continue on Saturday at 9 a.m., with the championship game set for noon.
Last year, more than $2,500 was raised at the event, which is done in honor of a Triton teacher's son Timmy Frantz, who passed away at the age of 18 from Ewing Sarcoma.
"We've got some good teams in there, it should be a good one," Triton coach Pam McCabe said recently. "We give out a scholarship in Timmy's name and give the rest to the Go 4 the Goal Foundation in memory of Timmy Frantz." The foundation benefits pediatric oncology.

Steven Mullaney: My Week In Oz
Notts all-rounder Steven Mullaney continues his diary from down under.
Monday 25th January - Back to business after a relaxing sunday and down to the centre at 9.30am with Scott and Chris. First we were straight into the nets for an hour and a half working on specific skills before having a break for lunch. Then after a bit of work in the shop whilst Chris was coaching we were upstairs in the gym for a session. Left the centre and returned home to watch a film and just chilled out for the night.
Tuesday 26th January - Today was Australia day. Which is a public holiday so me and a few mates were invited to a BBQ for the afternoon. In the evening me and Scott went down to McKinnon to water the wicket before heading back to his house to have tea and watch Andy Murray beat Rafael Nadal in the quarter final of the Australian Open. Also watched a bit of the Aussies beating Pakistan in the ODI series. I also found out on Australia day that they have a public holiday for the Queens birthday. I couldn't believe that they get a day off and she lives in our country and we don't get a day off....Terrible!!!
Wednesday 27th January - Up and out to the centre again at 10am. Had a net with Scott for a couple of hours where I batted on the bowling machine and then bowled at Scott. We then did some fielding drills to finish off before we had lunch. After lunch I did some work in the shop before heading up to the gym for the second session of the week. Then it was home at around 4pm for a shower before having tea with my adopted Australian family and a quiet night in with them.
Thursday 28th January - Down to the centre for an early gym session with Chris and Scott before a couple of hours on the bowling machine with a bit of lunch in between. Then off to McKinnon for training for two and a half hours before returning home for tea.
Friday 29th January - A light gym session in the morning, again with Scott and a good hit on the bowling machine with Paul Franks again. Returned home at around 4pm for a shower and get ready. Then off to pick Scott Chris and a few other mates up to go to the cinema to watch the new film Invictus. For the first 45 minutes I thought it was the worst film I had ever seen but the last hour and a half were brilliant and was well worth going to see.
Saturday 30th January - Game day. Down to the club at 11.30am for our pre-match warm-up before we started our run chase from the week before. Unfortunately we didn't make the runs but alot of positives to build on for our next, and my last game. I made 21 and (it may sound like i am being a bit of a sulker or have something against the umpires) suffered another terrible LBW decision. I guess that's why its a great game and hopefully some luck is on its way.
Sunday 31st January - After a nice lie in it was the Australian Open Tennis Final between Andy Murray and Roger Federer. Me and a few mate got ground pass tickets. So we went down to the Rod Laver Areana and watched it on the big screen. As I'm sure you know Federer won but it was a great day out and we had a few beverages and a lot of laughs.

A new private members' club has been launched in London with a twist — the fees will go to charity and among its staff will be homeless people training in hospitality.
The not-for-profit House of St Barnabas club in Soho will have a dining room, secluded gardens, party spaces and a chapel, with fees of £600 a year.
Those who sign up can also attend cultural events, and founding members include Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank and writer Richard Strange.
The club will open early next year following a multi-million-pound refurbishment of the Grade-I listed Georgian building in Greek Street, which has some of the finest rococo plasterwork in the capital.
The House of St Barnabas charity for the homeless has been on the site since 1862 but closed as a hostel in 2006. Chief executive Sandra Schembri said: "The charity has always been very progressive in the way it has tackled homelessness and we realised that it just wasn't feasible to keep going as a hostel.
"We had 26,000 square feet and only 15 places and the building needed a major refurbishment, so we started looking at what else we could do with the space we had.
"The Quintessentially company ran a pop-up club here in 2009 so we started looking at whether we could extend that concept. The building is beautiful and we had a lot of support for the idea of a private members' club where we could utilise social capital to train people up and give them work experience in high-end hospitality.
"This isn't a fluffy way of helping people. It has a long-term aim of getting them into employment and the people we train will have to commit to the programme and compete against other people for jobs in the club."
Similar in concept to Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant chain, the charity will train homeless people for jobs in the restaurant, bar and other services at the club over a 12-week programme. It will also help with life skills and accommodation, following their progress for 18 months to provide support.
Ms Schembri said: "What is so exciting is that this divine building had become a bit of a dowdy old duchess — now it's been brought back to life and is buzzing with energy again."
The Greek Street building is thought to be the setting for the London lodgings of Dr Manette and Lucie in Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities.

as a former gun salesman who sold a number of P-11's: if you get one that works, you're golden. if yours doesn't work properly, send it back to KelTec. back then (late 90's, early 2000's) their factory service was prompt and mostly good. one gun did have to go back a second time before it was right.
having said that, i don't like them because they FEEL cheap. i spent a bit more and got a Kahr CM-9 (and some folks have had bad experiences with Kahrs, too). mine has been 100% reliable.

Land and property records can place an ancestor in a particular location, provide economic information, and reveal family relationships. Land records include deeds, abstracts and indexes, mortgages, leases, grants and land patents.
See Georgia Land and Property for additional information about early Georgia land grants from the government. After land was transferred to private ownership, subsequent transactions (generally buying and selling deeds) were usually recorded at the county courthouse and where records are currently housed.
Local Histories
Colonial courts kept some early probate records. From 1777 to 1798 and since 1852, the court of ordinary or register of probates has kept probate and guardianship records. The inferior court handled probate and guardianship matters from 1798 to 1852.
Many probate records to the 1930s and 1940s are at the Georgia Department of Archives and History and the Family History Library on microfilm.
Content: Probate Records may give the decedent's date of death, names of his or her spouse, children, parents, siblings, in-laws, neighbors, associates, relatives, and their place of residence.
Record types: Wills, estates, guardianships, naturalizations, marriage, adoption, and birth and death records (not all years).
- Wills 1828-1897 (abstracts) Georgia Pioneers
- Wills 1830-1850 (abstracts) Georgia Pioneers
- Mixed Records, inventories, returns, etc. 1837-1845; 1851-1856 Georgia Pioneers
Taxes were levied on free white males over 21 and slaves aged 21 to 60. These persons are referred to as "polls." Tax listings, or digests, of a county generally list the taxable landowners and other polls and the amount of tax. The records for each county are divided by militia district.

Nick Robinson is off on holiday this week. "I'm counting the days," sighs the BBC's political editor. David Cameron may have cancelled the traditional parliamentary Whitsun break "but I'm having it – I've got a week off".
After 16-hour shifts with barely a day's rest for a month, few would argue that the seemingly ubiquitous Robinson has earned the right to a break. With a long election campaign extended by Cameron's coalition deal with Nick Clegg, tensions have been running high among political reporters. Asked whether he has lost his composure, as Sky's political editor Adam Boulton did during an exchange with Alastair Campbell – watched almost 700,000 times on YouTube – he jokes: "Not publicly, no," before resisting the temptation to criticise his rival. "I know him well enough to know he was angry with himself. He doesn't need friends and colleagues to add to it."
Robinson's critics, and there are a few, claim he was pleased to see Cameron installed at No 10 for another reason - he is a former chairman of the Young Conservatives, and at least one Twitter hashtag refers to him as #formertoryboy.
Robinson laughs off the accusation, pointing out he was known to fellow party members as "Red Robbo" in his youth because he was so far to the left of the Conservative party. "I got some rather touching texts from some people in 'Team Brown' saying the coverage was fair," he says without naming them.
Black-rimmed glasses
So how will Brown be remembered? "Ooh. That's a dangerous question," Robinson says. "One thing he got spectacularly right, actually, was the manner of his departure. A lot of people will remember the acknowledgement of human frailty and [images] of the boys and Sarah."
One part of his story will be his reaction to the global banking crisis, he says, but "the other will be what he called his 'personal frailties'. The way he dealt with Tony Blair or the Lib Dems – when he needed favours from these people they weren't there for him. He's a hugely complex individual."
Robinson, like Brown, is not to everyone's taste, but the man with the black-rimmed glasses and cocksure delivery is widely regarded as having had a good election, in part because the contest was so riveting.
"I've been incredibly lucky," says the 46-year-old Robinson, who moved front of camera 14 years ago after a career producing programmes such as On the Record and Panorama. "There have been so many boring elections. For the first time ever I've been stopped in the street – a lot – by people who say: 'What's going to happen?'," he says. "This extraordinary story gripped people who are never usually interested in politics." Minutes later, as if to underline his point, a smartly dressed couple wander over to our table in a Westminster restaurant to congratulate him on his coverage.
Robinson is in no doubt it was the televised leaders' debates that transformed the election, enthusing about audiences of "nine million – many of whom were watching politicians in their own words, unmediated, for the first time".
He has little time for those who believe that they made the contest yet more presidential, and says that the media have a duty to focus on the characters of the party leaders. "We are talking about power and we are talking about a post-ideological era in which politics is shaped by the unexpected; 9/11 and the banking crisis are the most obvious examples."
Robinson denies the focus on personalities came at the expense of the issues. "On the one hand the debates took up some time that would have been filled by morning press conferences – of course they did. But despite the rules – and possibly because of the rules – audiences were exposed at length to detailed discussions about policy."
Others believe the media helped to fuel "Cleggmania". "It's not an illusion that Clegg got a huge boost after the first and second debates," Robinson counters. "It's true at most elections that the voting intentions are the same at the beginning [of campaigns] as the end."
When I dare to suggest that this wasn't the case in 1992, Robinson looks slightly irritated. "Sorry, I'm tired," he begins. "In the end, [this year's outcome] seemed to be a classic squeeze. [People felt] 'It's a choice between Cameron and Brown and however much I like Clegg I've got to choose between them.'"
After five years in the job, Robinson is a familiar face, but unlike his predecessor, Andrew Marr (who was also accused of a lack of impartiality, but by rightwingers), he fails to inspire affection.
Where his admirers see self-confidence, others detect a degree of self-satisfaction. Those who have worked closely with Robinson say he can be difficult. However, a BBC source says: "He is brilliant at his job, he brings stories in and he's a workaholic but he is demanding. He has very high standards. He also gets upset if he's called a Tory." In person, he is affable and good-humoured and, oddly for a man who is rarely off our TV screens, rather camera-shy for the Guardian photographer.
Hint of modesty
There is even a hint of modesty when he concedes he should have predicted before the election started that the Lib Dems would wield decisive political influence despite losing seats. "It's one of those classic things when you see all the elements but you don't link them. I did an internal BBC presentation and I said polling showed Tory voters are not totally convinced by Cameron, the Lib Dems had a unique opportunity because of the debates [and] the expenses scandal, and that smaller parties would do well. But I never went 'click, click, click – therefore Clegg will have lift-off'."
There is no doubt he is competitive, bridling at the suggestion Sky News may claim Gordon Brown's "Bigotgate" slip-up as its scoop (the former PM was wearing a Sky mic when he made it). "It was chance … it happened. Claiming it as a scoop because you happened to be the pool camera is just bizarre," he snorts.
Sky News, controlled by Rupert Murdoch, has also been accused of bias. The media mogul, whose papers swung behind Cameron during the last 12 months, visited Downing Street last week, fuelling speculation the Tories will soon turn up the heat on the BBC, Murdoch's most powerful competitor, now the Conservatives are in government.
"We're taking me above my pay grade now," Robinson says, although he acknowledges the Tories have concerns about the power of the BBC and its effect on "organisations like your own", ie newspapers such as the Guardian that increasingly find themselves in competition with the BBC online.
Yet he seems relatively sanguine: "For this government, the BBC is part of the public sector and because of that they are going to have concerns about size and pay. Will these things come up? Of course they will."
The corporation has also been criticised, although not by the Tories, for failing to promote enough female faces to its lobby team – Robinson was made political editor in 2005 despite a strong challenge from Martha Kearney, then doing the same job at Newsnight.
Not so, Robinson retorts. "[The economics editor] Stephanie Flanders has played quite an important role ... and Laura Kuenssberg [the chief political correspondent at the BBC News channel] has established herself as one of the big players," he says. "Laura is hugely influential. Ask anyone in the political world."
Wallpaper roles
Nor does he agree there is a macho culture in the BBC's newsroom, as some senior correspondents have privately alleged. "I don't particularly detect that. You'd have to ask women what they think [holds] them back – not me. But all I would note is those two roles I mentioned are not wallpaper roles. They are not decorative roles."
However, James Landale, Robinson's Eton-educated deputy, is the frontrunner to step into his shoes should he ever depart.
This departure has been the subject of speculation for some time. Robinson stood in as a presenter on Radio 4's Today last year, and there is a theory he is being lined up for a full-time job on the programme.
"It's a very good theory," he says, before delivering the kind of noncommittal statement a frontline politician would be proud of. "The sad truth is – for those people who find me annoying – I'm doing this job for as long as I know about."

Inventory Your People
Virtually every organization has employees that cannot meet reasonable, but demanding expectations. It should be the objective of every business to minimize the number of these people within the organization. Managers should regularly "inventory" their employees to objectively determine the extent to which each is meeting or not meeting expectations. When the percentage of low performers is too high, performance of the work unit will suffer. Managers that do a poor job of hiring, training, promoting and managing will generally have a much higher percentage of low performers than others. The key is what is done about low performers. Simply admitting that an employee is a low performer is just a start. Changing that employee's behavior or terminating that employee is another matters altogether. How do you deal with low performers?

With those of us in the U.S. about to celebrate Thanksgiving, it's a good time for us to express a bit of appreciation. In that spirit, I'd like to second Jordan's shout-out to some of our enthusiastic Blogger Help Group members:
We have a nice little community of Bloggers here and I'm happy to see our membership continue to grow each day. This group is here for you, Bloggers, to get help and trade tips, and I believe we have a few individuals who go above and beyond the call of duty to help folks out. That's right, we've got a few Blog*Stars (the official term) amongst us, and each of them deserve recognition. Chuck (Nitecruzr), Ron (Rat), Peter (Enviroman) and Rose (Swtrose), I'd like to thank you for the help and dedication you've shown in this group. You, my friends, are officially dubbed Blog*Stars.Thanks to all these folks, and to everyone else who's helped to make the group not only a useful resource but the cool new hangout for our bloggers. (Including you, Jordan!)

Photographer Adrian Steirn had a dream: to capture one of the world's greatest icons, Nelson Mandela, on film. His dream came true and turned into a vision to influence the future of our youth. That vision is the 21 Icons project.21 Icons South Africa combines photographic portraits and television short films in a captivating series that shares the inspiring stories of South Africans who have reached the pinnacle of achievement in their fields of endeavour. These 21 icons have captured the global imagination with their dignity, humanity, and selfless struggle for a better world.
In the words of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, as told to Steirn, "Why is it that we admire people like Mother Teresa, Mahatma Ghandi, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King? The answer must be that it is because they are good." This simple yet profound attribute found in these icons, Steirn thought, could be used to inspire others to become citizens and leaders of tomorrow.
In the past two years, through 21 Icons, Steirn has captured prized pictures and video of 21 iconic South Africans, including Tutu, Professor Phillip Tobias, Nadine Gordimer, Ahmed Kathrada, and many more. The band of storytellers at 21 Icons does whatever it takes to get that one special picture that tells the story of an icon's incredible life.
Through the highly personal short films and iconic photographic portraits of individuals such as Nelson Mandela, FW de Klerk, Desmond Tutu, Sophia Williams De Bruyn and Kumi Naidoo, 21 Icons aims to highlight the lives and work of men and women who have shaped our nation and the world beyond. The short films capture the intimate, often poignant conversations between Steirn and the icons.
We at Mercedes-Benz South Africa (MBSA) are proud to be a part of this inspirational project. Our pride is drawn from our long association with Nelson Mandela, which began when our East London employees hand-built a red S-Class for him upon his release from prison in 1990. When the man himself turned 90 in 2008, we gifted him with the best S-Class ever built - once again at our East London manufacturing plant.
Inspiring the leaders of tomorrow

it is a pity that philips' "wireless" speakers still need all those wires.
in fact sonos seems to be a better solution as each speaker only needs a power-plug, nothing else.
But the Sonos also needs a wired connection to your router for the first speaker
We've got the Philips Fidelio AW5000 and have been testing this product for around 4 weeks now. We give the AW5000 a massive thumbs up for sound, design and simplicity. Listening to Spotify is faultless and real music to your ears too, as the quality of sound is brilliant! However, this system can also be used for listening to your digital music on your computer, hard disk or mobile device such as your smartphone or tablet. The AirStudio App can be downloaded freely onto your mobile device and you can listen to a prefect sound while lying on the sofa, in the garden or wherever you happen to have your mobile device. We are very happy with the great sound and the sleek design of the A5. Granted, the system only has one speaker, but the quality of sound is so good it compensates the one speaker. The sound, design, simplicity of the total concept and the overall impression of the system are GREAT. Connect the A5 with your wifi network, listen to your music (stored on your hard disk, tablet, phone, etc), listen to Spotify, and listen to internet radio. Basically it's a system that covers all ways of listening to music! There's really only one thing we feel, needs to be addressed. The designated Airstudio App, that is developed for the AW series is slow and the App is unreliable. And even though this doesn't have a huge influence when listening to Spotify and Internet Radio, it is frustrating when listening to digital music from your hard disk, computer etc. And so we contacted Philips with this problem. Up to now we've had 2 firmware updates, and the stability of the system is a lot better then in the first week, so that's great! Philips is still developing the App though so that's good:-) And in the meantime, if you use the MyRemote App that was originally made for Philips TV's, the AW5000 works like a treat:-) So after getting uptight with the Fidelio at first, we now enjoy the AW5000 more and more, and we now take even more notice of the quality of sound. The sound is brilliant! Pretty good considering the price :-) We have tried the system intensively and are very happy with this sound. It sounds like all the separate parts of our current system have been cramped into this one A5 speaker. Ok granted, the music seems to still come into the room from 1 direction and with our current system we have multiple speakers. I still feel however, that this 1 speaker is pretty brilliant for providing us with such a pure, warm and clear sound. So, when scoring the system 1 to 5 stars : Sound 5 stars Design 5 stars Possibilities 5 stars Software 4 stars We can still send it back if were not happy:-) However, it's getting more and more likely that the Fidelio A5 is staying here with us, up in our loft with loads of spare room due to the speakers and stereo parts that have left the building when keeping the Fidelio:-)
I am thinking of buying these but I am unsure how I would connect them to my TV? My TV runs through a router so I watch iplayer etc on the TV but am unsure how to tell the TV to have the sound coming from the wireless speakers. Will I need to have a cable running from the TV to one of the speakers? It seems like a bit of a shame as I'm trying to get away from cables... also, which cable would I need? Thanks
Hi Becky,
Yes, I believe you would need to have these speakers plugged into your TV. The wireless part of them is to stream music from your home network, not from your TV.
There are wireless speakers that I believe suit your purposes, though most are part of a 5.1 surround set and even then, some are only wireless for the rear two pair.
You might also consider a Soundbar. Here is our list of the Best Soundbars: http://www.trustedreviews.c...
hi there
Is it possiblle to connect E5saround sistem with A5 and A9 speakers the way, they play at the same time, with wires or wifi streaming, maybe with airplay aplication_ Thanks
Curious to know how one would connect a subwoofer with these speakers over wifi?

3. There were three East-West confrontations over the weekend, and all resulted in wins for the visiting Eastern Conference teams: Columbus (3-2 at San Jose), New York (2-1 at Los Angeles) and New England (2-1 at Chivas USA). The weekend results left the top six teams in the Eastern Conference with more points than Western Conference co-leaders Colorado and FC Dallas. Indeed, FC Dallas, which dropped to .500 with a 2-1 loss to Real Salt Lake, is the only Western Conference team that doesn't have a losing record.
JUAN PABLO ANGEL. Juan Pablo Angel, MLS's leading scorer in 2007 with 19 goals, scored his first goal of the 2008 season when he struck in the 78th minute to break a 1-1 tie and give the New Red Bulls a 2-1 win at Los Angeles.
75. Such was the pitiful display by the Galaxy in its 2-1 loss to the New York Red Bulls that it went 75 minutes between shots on goal. Red Bulls keeper Jon Conway saved Landon Donovan's shot two minutes into the game, and Galaxy didn't find the target again until Alan Gordon beat Conway in the 77th minute with his third goal of the season.
TAYLOR TWELLMAN. The second-half substitute -- who was making his 2008 debut after returning from a knee injury - scored the game-winning goal in the 59th minute to lead the New England Revolution to a 2-1 victory over Chivas USA on Sunday afternoon. Twellman, fifth on the MLS career goalscoring list, scored his 92nd career goal
30,000. Steve Ralston made history in the 16th minute of New England's game at Chivas USA, becoming the first player in MLS history to have played 30,000 minutes. Ralston is the league's career leader in minutes (30,063), games (340) and starts (337), as well as assists (122) and game-winning assists (34).
18. The high-flying Crew took a club-record 18 corner kicks en route to a 3-2 win over the Earthquakes.
JASON KREIS. The Real Salt Lake coach watched RSL's 2-1 win over FC Dallas from the he fifth floor of the Rice-Eccles Stadium press box after he was suspended for Saturday's match for criticizing the referees. He was allowed to talk to his players before the game and at halftime and was allowed to talk with his assistant coaches on the sidelines.
1. It took seven games, but forward Brian Ching and midfielder Dwayne De Rosario both scored for the first time this season, and the two-time defending champion Houston Dynamo finally won its first game with a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rapids, who share the Western Conference lead with FC Dallas despite a 3-4-0 record.
