text: Thanks to good marketing, good cover art, and good luck, this disc probably has sold more copies than most other recordings of Gregorian chant put together. It's often quipped that most of those discs have been listened to exactly once and put away--to the puzzlement of many musicians and critics, who point out that there are more beautiful, more varied performances by professional singers available. Yet the singing of these Spanish Benedictines has a special quality that probably explains this disc's popularity--a reverent serenity that no doubt stems from the fact that the monks are actually praying, not just performing. Granted, Chant can become a bit monotonous with repeated listening, but it really gives you the sense of devotion that has always been the purpose of "Gregorian" chant. If this recording (ahem) enchants you at first, wonderful. If you get bored with it later, don't give up--there has been an extraordinary variety of styles and sounds over the 1,500-year history of plainchant, so go exploring with Anonymous 4, Ensemble Gilles Binchois, Sequentia, or Ensemble Organum. You won't be sorry. --Matthew Westphal

Lose the baggage.
You need moisture-wicking fabric and classic style, not things like a media pocket and chemical cooling treatments, so the Zoic DNA Men's Jersey keeps it simple without depriving you of the basics. While you sweat, the polyester fabric pulls moisture away from your skin and to the surface of the fabric, where it evaporates quickly, and the mesh underarm and back panels help you stay extra cool in hot, humid, and dusty conditions.

This is as bare bones as you can get and fills all of your needs without getting crazy. I've said it before, but I'm not a fan of being a rolling billboard for the apparel brands I choose to wear. This precludes me from buying from many brands, and often saves me money.

Songs and SonnetsThe Legacie
When I dyed last, and, Deare, I dye
As often as from thee I goe,
Though it be but an houre agoe,
And Lovers houres be full eternity,
I can remember yet, that I
Something did say, and something did bestow;
Though I be dead, which sent mee, I should be
Mine owne executor and Legacie.
I heard mee say, Tell her anon,
That my selfe, that's you, not I,
Did kill me, and when I felt mee dye,
I bid mee send my heart, when I was gone,
But I alas could there finde none,
When I had ripp'd me, 'and search'd where hearts did lye,
It kill'd mee againe, that I who still was true,
In life, in my last Will should cozen you.
Yet I found something like a heart,
But colours it, and corners had,
It was not good, it was not bad,
It was intire to none, and few had part.
As good as could be made by art
It seem'd, and therefore for our losses sad,
I meant to send this heart in stead of mine,
But oh, no man could hold it, for twas thine.

hello -
i have a 1996 pontiac sunfire GT with 2.4L engine.
symptoms are multiple misfires accompanied by a very prominent engine vibration that "seems" electrical in nature and continues for a second or two after the engine is shut off. other symptoms are reduced power and acceleration at low speeds or RPMs, going uphill etc. it is also using gas at 2 or 3 times the normal rate.
this problem started at the same time that there has been some road construction on a long hill on my commute, causing me to drive at low speeds for a prolonged period of time and raising the engine temperature a bit. it has never overheated, but the temp gague has gone up significantly a couple of times - occasionally there has been a slight "burned" smell, leading me to think that a wire or cable in the ignition system may have burned the insulation off, causing the vibration mentioned above, but so far we have been unable to find any damaged wire.
to date we have replaced the spark plugs, coil housing, spark plug boots (wires) and the MAP sensor hose. i have taken it to two mechanics, including a GM dealer. they have switched out coils etc. and have determined that as far as they can tell, the problem is not mechanical. they did not seem to think the problem was with the ignition control module or computer. they also report that the catalytic converter is now plugged as a result of the problem. as far as i know, none of the original symptoms were related to the catalytic converter.
their best suggestion is to replace the spark plugs i just replaced with a different type than what we are now using, even though the type we have been using (bosch platinum) was working fine for years and the recommended delco plugs did not work, which led is to the bosch platinums. i understand that bosch platinums are out of favour in some circles, but please keep in mind that the vehicle had been running very well for years using bosch platinum plugs, so i am reluctant to believe that this is the problem, in spite of the mechanic's suggestion; in fact, they cannot guarantee that this will fix the problem.
any other ideas?
thanks in advance. i have a wife and four kids - this vehicle is primarily used for putting food on the table as i commute 25 miles to work and back each day. any help i can get would be greatly appreciated.

WILD At Heart star Stephen Tompkinson may be sad that his vets-on-safari drama
was given a lethal injection by ITV – but he's thrilled to have landed his
first lead movie role, as a copper.
The seventh series of Wild At Heart, which ended last month, was the last. But
fans can look forward to a two-hour special early next year.
Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival, Stephen said: "Now and again people need
a change and it was our turn to make way for something else.
"We're doing a final hurrah, which may go out on New Year's Day, as a way to
say goodbye to it. I'm looking forward to going back to South Africa in
August for filming. The team have been like a big family."
DCI Banks star Stephen is in Cannes to promote new movie Harrigan, in which he
plays a Seventies cop cleaning up a crime-ridden sink estate in the North
East. He reckons the drama is like an old-fashioned western, saying it is
"more like High Noon than The Sweeney".
DRAGONS' Den battleaxe Hilary Devey has revealed she'd like a career in
politics. The shoulder pad-wearing telly star admitted she would love to put
her hat in the ring over government policy.
But she doesn't believe she would be liked by any of her peers.
She said: "I'd love to be in politics. It's probably my next career move. I
tell you what, I don't think they'd like me very much, whichever party I

My name is Lisa Tollett. Lilija is my modeling name.
In my spare time, I enjoy singing, writing, traveling, watching movies, comedy shows, outdoor adventures, learning new technological trends, working out for stress release, perfecting my Spanish speaking skills, and of course modeling and I have had a little acting experience. I am certainly a family lady. My family and friends have always supported me and I am infinitely grateful for having them on my side.
I have been represented by Elite Model Management. My contract has expired so I'm currently seeking representation.
I'm currently back from Barcelona, Spain. I reside in NY in the summers and the midwest in the winters. I'm willing to travel and also have a passport
Current hair info: Black shoulder length (approximately 13 inches long).
Recent Polaroids: (5/5/12) Will update again when I receive time in the future.

***No longer accepting TFCD unless guaranteed tearsheets and collaborative teams of photographers and stylists (hair, makeup, and wardrobe) are involved. If you have a vision, I will bring it to life! Inform me of your latest project!!!***
I'm capable of morphing into creations and my look is quite transformable. I am highly professional by arriving to shoots punctual, being prepared to work, and having a positive attitude. Also, I take pride in the decorum I possess and my intense work ethic. I am extremely easy to work with, and very cooperative with photographers, stylists, and OTHER MODELS. To tell you the truth, modeling is second-nature to me. I can guarantee you my all and that my passion for this will be conveyed in every shoot. I'm not afraid to take risks (ie. scream, sweat, or just look simply odd).
Habitually, I bring a quiet, unobtrusive escort to shoots with me. I'm a young female and take precautions because I've encountered a traumatic experience in the past. The escort does NOT affect my level of professionalism. I am greatly skilled and stay focused regardless of who is attending a shoot.

Right, back to your "friends" . i've got a friend with a unicorn and another one that rides a green shark to work.
As far as personal experience, unsurprisingly you're wrong again. I've worked on dozens of V7s V8s and V9s from helping people with the community locally with motor and transmission work, to helping people with tuning issues online. My experience is not read from an e-mail or post.
I'm sure they've got some experience, but it's likely with fixing jacked up 15 year old 1gs with pep boy parts and somehow the fact that it's a mitsu means that Evos are in the same boat to them. Other than that changing oil at work doesn't count.
Experience does speak for itself, you've got none.

Bad new today after it was revealed that Tim Krul, Newcastle United's on loan goalkeeper faces yup to 3 months out with a shoulder injury he picked up in saving a penalty for Falkirk against Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup in mid-week.
19 year-old Tim Krul – out up to 3 months
Krul suffered a dislocated shoulder and the Dutchman has now undergone surgery on the injury, and Falkirk manager John Hughes expects him to be missing for up to three months.
Hughes told the Daily Record today:
"Tim will have an operation and then go back down to Newcastle for his rehab," "They reckon he's going to be out for anything from eight to 12 weeks. That is unfortunate."
"We are more concerned about Tim because he has been outstanding for us. I can't speak highly enough of the lad."
"He's a 19-year-old boy who plays well beyond his years. He'll be much missed."
For Falkirk it means that Robert Olejnik will be brought in against Celtic this weekend, and Hughes has no worries about playing the young Austrian player.
Hughes added:
"I have no qualms about putting Robert in but underneath him I only have two kids who are YTS. They aren't ready yet,"
"I'd be looking to bring one or two players into the club, all of a sudden priorities change. I could take the gamble and just go with that but it would be a gamble not worth taking."
Tim's injury is a blow to both the player and Newcastle United, as well as Falkirk. Tim has been having an outstanding loan spell at the SPL club this season, and it's a real pity to see the experience he is gaining cut short.
We can only hope he returns before the 3 months is up, and can get some additional games in at Falkirk.
Comments very welcome.

Fox's The Five Smears Obama With Deceptively Edited Video Of Immigration Reform Comments
Research ››› ››› SOPHIA TESFAYE
Fox News' The Five aired a deceptively edited video clip of President Obama calling for comprehensive immigration reform to falsely claim that his speech condoned the release of criminal immigrants.
Center For Immigration Studies Report On Deportation Of Criminal Immigrants Finds 35 Percent Were Released From Detention
Center For Immigration Studies: "ICE Released 68,000 Criminal Aliens In 2013, Or 35 Percent Of The Criminal Aliens." According to a report from the conservative Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), "In 2013, ICE reported 722,000 encounters with potentially deportable aliens, most of whom came to their attention after incarceration for a local arrest. Yet ICE officials followed through with immigration charges for only 195,000 of these aliens, only about one-fourth...Many of the aliens ignored by ICE were convicted criminals. In 2013, ICE agents released 68,000 aliens with criminal convictions, or 35 percent of all criminal aliens they reported encountering." [Center for Immigration Studies, March 2014]
Fox's The Five Aired Deceptively Edited Clip Of Obama's White House Address To Law Enforcement Officials On Immigration Reform
Fox's Bolling Falsely Claimed Obama's Comments On Immigration Reform Were Related To CIS Report. During the May 14 edition of Fox News' The Five, a video of President Obama's May 13 speech to law enforcement officials in the White House was edited to appear as though the president referred to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) on criminal immigrants that were released from prison in 2013 and have yet to be deported. After bringing up the criminals mentioned in the CIS report, co-host Eric Bolling falsely claimed that "Just yesterday President O described these illegals not as hardened criminals, more like the guy next door. Kind of, sort of." [Fox News, The Five, 5/14/14]
President Obama's Comments Did Not Address The CIS Report
President Obama Called For Immigration Reform That Allows "Law Enforcement Agencies To Do Their Job." During a May 13 address to law enforcement officials, the president called for the passage of a comprehensive immigration reform bill that would free "law enforcement agencies to do their job." Obama argued that the focus of immigration enforcement should be on "chasing gang bangers and going after violent criminals." Obama's comments never addressed the report by CIS:
The immigration system that we have right now makes it harder, not easier, for law enforcement agencies to do their jobs. It makes it harder for law enforcement to know when dangerous people cross our borders. It makes it harder for business owners who play by the rules to compete when they're undercut by those who would exploit workers in a shadow economy. And it makes it harder for law enforcement to do their jobs when large segments of the community are afraid to report crimes or serve as witnesses because they fear the consequences for themselves or their families.
And keep in mind, some of these statistics you may have already heard -- it's estimated that over 80 percent of the folks who are here on an undocumented basis have been here 10 years or longer. These are folks who are woven into the fabrics of our communities. Their kids are going to school with our kids. Most of them are not making trouble; most of them are not causing crimes. And yet, we put them in this tenuous position and it creates a situation in which your personnel, who have got to go after gang-bangers and need to be going after violent criminals and deal with the whole range of challenges, and who have to cooperate with DHS around our counterterrorism activities -- you've got to spend time dealing with somebody who is not causing any other trouble other than the fact that they were trying to make a living for their families. That's just not a good use of our resources. It's not smart. It doesn't make sense. [WhiteHouse.gov, 5/13/14]
The Five Co-Hosts Bob Beckel And Dana Perino Agree That Clip Of Obama Was Deceptively Edited
Fox's Beckel: "I Have Been Told Not To Criticize Our Own Show, But That Edit Of Barack Obama Was One Of The Most Out Of Context." During the segment, co-host Bob Beckel criticized The Five for taking the President's comments out of context to misconstrue his remarks as supporting the release of criminals. [Fox News, The Five, 5/14/14]
Fox's Perino: "I Don't Necessarily Think That Is What President Obama Was Talking About." Co-host Dana Perino pushed back on the false assertion that Obama's comments addressed the CIS report and agreed with Beckel, noting that although "President Obama actually has some good numbers on deportation," he "doesn't define the populations well." Perino went on to say the administration bears some "responsibility" for the problem with passing immigration reform but that "those particular individuals are not one of them."

Outdoor sports businesses to Wyden: A good environment means a solid bottom line
Several Northwest business leaders are calling on U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden to seek more safeguards that protect Oregon's outdoor economy.
The businesses, including KEEN, Yakima and Northwest Rafting Co., say Wyden, by virtue of his role as chairman of the Senate's Energy and Natural Resources Committee, should take the lead on protecting public lands. Doing so would help those businesses defray the millions those businesses lost during the recent government shutdown.
The businesses sent Wyden a letter and launched an ad campaign urging him "to prevent conservation cornerstones like wilderness protections and the Antiquities Act from being weakened, and to ensure that the Land and Water Conservation Fund receives full, dedicated funding."
Legislation introduced in the House of Representatives "would allow for large-scale logging and limit the use of many environmental measures," the businesses said. Other House members have called for funds to be diverted away from protecting specific outdoor spots.
Wyden had recently expressed concern that the shutdown had slammed industries, such as fishing outfitters, that launch from federal sites on Oregon's rivers.
The Outdoor Industry Association reports that direct consumer spending on outdoor recreation adds $12.8 billion per year to Oregon's economy. It supports 141,200 jobs.
"During the government shutdown, Americans made it clear that they don't like being shut out of their national parks and other protected public lands," said John Sterling, executive director of the Conservation Alliance, in a release. "Congress should take this cue, and now work to pass legislation that protects our wild places."
"We are working for the day when outdoor recreation values and jobs are on equal ground with resource extraction jobs on public lands," added Liz Hamilton of the Northwest Sportfishing Industries Association. "The recent closure of federal lands in Oregon during peak fishing and hunting seasons punctuates the importance and value of access to public lands to our industry."

Florida's 8-5 record in 2002 was its worst since 1989, the year before the Steve Spurrier era began. Ron Zook threw himself into recruiting this past off-season with zeal and hauled in a boatload of riches, but the Gators are a year or two away from returning to top-five status.
Chris Leak, the headliner of this year's recruiting class, could shake things up at quarterback, where sophomore Ingle Martin finished spring practice No. 1. Redshirt freshman DeShawn Wynn could explode onto the scene at tailback. Carlos Perez and Kelvin Kight highlight a receiving corps that incoming freshman Andre Caldwell will be highlighting before long.
The offensive line is one of the SEC's best, particularly the left side, where tackle Max Starks and guard Shannon Snell are stationed. Junior college All-Americans Eric Holcombe at tackle and Reynaldo Hill at cornerback could be of immediate help in a defense gutted by graduation and NFL defections. Keiwan Ratliff is a lethal weapon on offense, defense and in the return game.
Go for it: Florida finished 106th nationally last season in net punting (36.1 yards).
No fly zone: Florida had the seventh-best pass defense in the country last year, allowing 162.4 yards per game.
Both ways: Keiwan Ratliff was the only player in the nation to score on a pass reception and an interception return.
2002 results: 8-5 (6-2 SEC)
Bowl Game: Lost 38-30 to Michigan in the Outback Bowl
Returning starters: 6 offense, 3 defense, both kickers
2003 Schedule:
A. 30 San Jose State

Schedule Analysis: Florida did not pick a good time to have Miami return to its slate, losing to the Canes last year and facing long odds again this year. Playing Miami and Florida State non-conference, in addition to the SEC schedule, is not what you want with a young team. Still, the Gators home slate looks do-able, even with Tennessee and Florida State. Road games with Miami and LSU will be rough, as will the battle in Jacksonville with Georgia.
Final Word: The Florida quarterback situation is unfamiliar territory for Gator fans. While Steve Spurrier had his share of controversy there, he usually had talent and/or experience. This year, there is no telling what the Gators will get out of the position. Defensively, Florida is very young, and there is only so much cornerback Keiwan Ratliff can do on his own. Still, a powerful running game and a strong home-field advantage will have the Gators in the hunt for the SEC East crown.

Poltergeist, the new band featuring Echo And The Bunnymen members Will Sergeant and Les Pattinson, have announced the release of their debut album, Your Mind Is A Box (Let Us Fill It With Wonder. "Cathedral," the first track off the album, is now streaming below. About the album, Sergeant says:
"We create a form of rock music with its toes paddling in the progressive ocean foam of the '60s and '70s and its head in the bone dry air of the present day. We want to try and get away from the traditional band format of the line across the stage. There are 12 notes in a scale and we intend to use most of them."
In other news, we have already witnessed the worst album art of the year.

[USA MEN] It looks more and more likely Steve Cherundolo won't be around for his fourth World Cup. The Mayor of Hannover faces his third knee surgery this year that will sideline him indefinitely and leaves Brad Evans, for the moment, as the No. 1 choice at right back. What are Jurgen Klinsmann's options?
The 34-year-old Cherundolo, who earned his first cap in 1999, is the longest-serving member of the national team and
started five of six games in the semifinal round of World Cup 2014 qualifying, but he hasn't played a game for the national team in 2013.
Cherundolo's savvy, skill on the ball and ability
to combine down the right side are a package none of the other players currently at Klinsmann's disposal possess.
U.S. Starters-Right Back (2013):
Beltran (1) Canada 0-0 (friendly)
Chandler (1) @Honduras 1-2 (WCQ)
Cameron (1) Costa Rica 1-0 (WCQ)
Cameron (2) @Mexico 0-0 (WCQ)
Cameron (3) Belgium 2-4 (friendly)
Evans (1) Germany 4-3
Evans (2) @Jamaica 2-1 (WCQ)
Evans (3) Panama 2-0 (WCQ)
Evans (4) Honduras 1-0 (WCQ)
Parkhurst (1) Guatemala 6-0 (friendly)
Parkhurst (2) Belize 6-1
Beltran (2) Cuba 4-1 (GC)
Parkhurst (3) Costa Rica 1-0 (GC)
Parkhurst (4) El Salvador 5-1 (GC)
Parkhurst (5) Honduras 3-1 (GC)
Parkhurst (6) Panama 1-0
Evans (5) @Bosnia-Herzegovina 4-3 (friendly)
Note: Total starts in parentheses.
Of the
five players have started at right back in Cherundolo's place in 2013, Evans is the current No. 1. He started at right back in the last three qualifiers -- all wins -- and started there in the 4-3 win
over Bosnia-Herzegovina even though he doesn't play there for the Seattle Sounders.
Michael Parkhurst helped his cause with a solid Gold Cup, but
he doesn't even dress for German club Augsburg and will probably need to switch clubs if he wants to remain in the picture.
Timmy Chandler began
the Klinsmann era as Cherundolo's heir apparent but Klinsmann didn't even bother calling him up for the BiH match. First things first: Chandler will need to regain his starting job at Nuremberg.
Geoff Cameron remains an option at right back -- he's starting there for Stoke City -- even if Klinsmann prefers him at center back or as a holding
Real Salt Lake's Tony Beltran has started twice this year but would be considered no higher than a third or fourth choice if everyone
was healthy.
There are other options, but they're longshots:
-- Klinsmann has categorized Fabian Johnson as a left back, left
midfielder and central midfielder, but he is actually right-footed. Johnson's consistent play on the left side of midfield has been in a big factor in the "A" team's recent success, so Klinsmann will
be very reluctant to break up his lineup, but he'll have to address the issue of where to play Landon Donovan. If he inserts Donovan on the left side of
midfield, Klinsmann will have to drop either Johnson or DaMarcus Beasley unless he wants to try Johnson at right back.
-- Right back is one of the
strongest positions for young Americans in MLS -- Seattle rookie DeAndre Yedlin, who made the MLS all-star team, the Revs' Andrew Farrell, the 2013 No. 1 draft pick, Philly's Sheanon Williams, among others -- but Klinsmann has shown little inclination to bring along
young players quickly.
-- Jonathan Spector was supposed to be called in for the March qualifiers but was a last-second scratch after picking up an
ankle injury. Playing in the League Championship for Birmingham City won't help his cause, just as it means a Klinsmann call-up will remain elusive for Eric
Lichaj, now starting -- and playing well -- at Nottingham Forest.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Landuse/Landcover classification is a technique that allows a person to visit a small area within a satellite image and based on that information, ascertain what ground types are in the rest of the image. We have developed a technique that allows us to use this idea to create a Landuse/Landcover classification using low resolution satellite data (NOAA AVHRR) using a high resolution (Landsat TM) classification within part of the image. The study was done in the state of North Dakota and our attempt was to assess the acreage of spring wheat in each county. Overall the study was a success, however, because our high resolution image was not centrally located within the state, it was necessary to use ancillary data to improve acreage estimates.
Technical Abstract: Landsat TM imagery data has been used for the classification of crops in small areas, however NOAA AVHRR imagery is more appropriate for regional and continental scales for few specific categories of vegetation. The USDA is interested in assessing crop acreage at the County and State levels. The objective in this study was to conduct the feasibility of using AVHRR to classify spring wheat in North Dakota. Two methods were developed to categorize large areas using AVHRR data and a minimal amount of Landsat TM. Areas of intense agriculture were used to perform an unsupervised classification with AVHRR data. Differences in precipitation and climatic conditions between the eastern and western parts of the State created some difficulties in proper classification and to improve classification accuracy, additional ancillary data was needed. The number of Landsat TM spring wheat pixels in the overlapping AVHRR pixels provided a means of predicting the percentages of spring wheat for each AVHRR class. The accuracy of the spring wheat acreage at the State level closely matched the USDA State report for 1994.

June 26, 2014 - The highly secretive Defense Intelligence Agency has streamlined and put aspects of its acquisition process online to take advantage of talent and technologically "disruptive" ideas available outside its usual vendor circles, DIA's chief innovation officer said yesterday.
Dan Doney and his team hosted a two-day DIA Innovation Symposium at DIA headquarters this week, during which the agency uncharacteristically threw open its doors, common spaces and auditorium to companies and their display booths, current vendors, and media representatives with cellphones, recorders and cameras.
A highlight of the symposium was Doney's unveiling of the Open Innovation Gateway, an Internet-accessible environment in which any potential vendor can apply for an account. Once an applicant is approved they can use the site to demonstrate their technology directly to the specific DIA-mission user.
"The Open Innovation Gateway is a big part of our strategy to make sure that we take full advantage of the best capabilities that exist and, most importantly, that we have a model for reaching disruptive technologies," said Doney, defining disruptive technologies as "paradigm changing."
In the old model, he said, a vendor had to travel to DIA's headquarters with a slide show presentation and sell someone who wasn't the mission user on how useful to the mission the new capability was.
"What we needed was a mechanism where [mission users] can interact with your capabilities," Doney told the audience. "They can be the tester of your capabilities in a discovery mode, so even if we didn't know to ask for your capability you have an opportunity to showcase it, because what we want to do is tie together the mission user and the technologist."
The Gateway model allows such technology to prove its worth to DIA, in a relevant setting, before the agency invests heavily in the application, the CIO added.
Even in the Open Innovation Gateway, Doney said, "we have to take certain steps to maintain a safe, secure environment … and to make sure we're operating efficiently and economically. But all the other steps in the process that aren't value-added we want to streamline so we can take full advantage of what you have to offer."
Although the Gateway is not quite ready for public release, eight companies called alpha providers were chosen by competitive solicitation to vet the new system, Doney said.
"It's an environment where we can evolve tradecraft and develop new approaches to our mission problems," he explained.
Near the end of the symposium, Doney introduced Karyn Hayes-Ryan, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's deputy component acquisition executive and director of the NGA Agility Strategic Initiative.
Last fall, the NGA began to revolutionize its relationship with industry through a program called the geospatial intelligence, or GEOINT, Solutions Marketplace, called GSM, which operates as an online exchange for government and vendors, commercial partners, academic institutions and the broader geospatial intelligence community.
"We wanted to fundamentally change how we were dealing with industry, how we were going to expand our relationship with academia and how we were going to drive R&T organizations -- industry and government -- to try to work some of our really hard problems," Hayes-Ryan said, "so we began our efforts late last year to try to drive innovation and agility and created this concept of a GEOINT Solutions Marketplace."
They wanted to see what solutions already existed, have the capabilities demonstrated for them, and find an easy acquisition model so they could get those capabilities quickly into users' hands, she added.
Looking around for models of such government streamlining, she stumbled on NeedipeDIA, Hayes-Ryan explained, a DIA project that uses an unclassified website to communicate mission needs to innovators in industry and academia.
Hayes-Ryan and Doney met later that year to discuss their projects, she said.
"Since then we have shared that vision and have pushed to revolutionize those capabilities and the industry interaction," Hayes-Ryan said.
"Central to NGA's strategy and also to ours is the idea of a government-industry partnership and fostering those relationships," Doney said.
DIA, NGA and other government partners are beginning to work together in "ways that could be game changing," he added.

Dealing Drugs
Weight = large amounts of drugs, or drugs for sale/distribution.
I wouldn't shed any tears if these scumbags were gone. Just yesterday we had yet another robbery for painkillers in my town.
So far their methods have been threatening notes with no weapons being shown, but it's only a matter of time before they start becoming more brazen in the pharmacies, or when they start following people home from the pharmacy and finding out where they live only to break in later.
If I am ever it a situation where I'm prescribed painkillers, I'll be sure to save an empty bottle and fill it with rat poison in case I'm burglarized. (Before everyone get's all grumpy, I'm not serious about this but it has crossed my mind.)

I know here in my neck of the woods reported home invasions are up, something about our revised Castle Doctrine and people having to call the cops to report dead home invaders.
I think either it is happening more or it is being reported more. Clearly hear more of this in the news. Fortunately, good guys are getting the bad guys often.
Locally, it seems that home invasions are up. It seems to be in particular areas or towns. I'm not sure if there is a net increase county or state wide. There also seem to be more illegally obtained or possessed firearms circulating in the area. Seems like the number of charges for firearms violations are up among people arrested or stopped for other violations.
"Home Invasions" are up in Orange County Florida. Way up. The most common time for break in to occur? 10AM - 2PM ! Right smack in the middle of the day.

MUPD: Suspect indentified in assault
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The University of Missouri Police Department has identified a suspect in an alleged sexual assault in a campus residence hall.
Officers say Residential Life staff received a report of a sexual assault that happened in the early morning of Sun., Oct. 6 at a dorm in the Rollins group.
UMPD says the assault involved a female victim and a man who she did not know. Police say the suspect entered the woman's room when she answered the door, expecting to see a friend.
Police say all exterior doors to the residence hall were locked at the time of the assault.
The victim has received medical attention and other support, however, she has chosen not to speak with law enforcement, according to the police department. UMPD says school officials are working with her to provide assistance.
On Oct. 18, campus police say a suspect has been identified in the case, but no name was provided. Investigators will continue to work with the victim and other officials.
The only suspect description that police released originally was that the suspect is a larger male.

Faucet 'Lock' Helps Conserve Water
A locking mechanism may limit H2O use by switching off when a pre-determined amount is reached.
While the Earth is roughly 75% water, it is often forgotten that there is a finite amount of readily usable water. The Water Lock mechanism is designed to not only increase our awareness of water consumption, but also help avoid water waste.
The concept is a padlock-type device for your faucets that monitors the flow of water. By setting your water limit on the lock, the device automatically stops the flow of water once this level has been reached. This concept could lead to more environmentally friendly showering and bathing by reducing wasted water.
The device easily attaches to a faucet, and doesn't require any kind of electricity or external power source. Theoretically, the device could also be placed on other faucets to reduce your water consumption while brushing your teeth, shaving, or doing the dishes.
If developed further, this concept could represent a small step towards greater environmental awareness and conservation efforts.

UPDATE 7-Verizon, unions agree to pay raises, new jobs to end strike
(New throughout, adds analyst comment, union comment on Wireless workers)
By Chuck Mikolajczak
May 30 (Reuters) - A tentative deal between Verizon Communications Inc and leaders of striking unions includes 1,400 new jobs and pay raises topping 10 percent, the company and unions representing about 40,000 workers said on Monday, hoping to end a walkout that has lasted nearly seven weeks.
One analyst called the deal "very rich" for workers at Verizon, the No. 1 U.S. wireless provider, which reached the tentative pact with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) on Friday. Details for the new four-year contract were disclosed on Monday.
The CWA said Verizon agreed to provide a 10.9 percent raise over four years while Verizon put the increase at 10.5 percent. According to the CWA, both numbers are correct, with the union's calculation including compounded interest as subsequent raises are determined from a new base salary.
"They needed to end the strike and they bit the bullet," said Roger Entner of Recon Analytics. He said he thinks the deal "reinforced their commitment to basically exiting" wireline, which he called "the least profitable, most problematic part of the business"
The new contract "gives Verizon four years basically to get rid of the unit. Let it be somebody else's problem," Entner said.
But not all analysts saw the deal as the first steps in an eventual sale of the wireline business.
"That is an option available for Verizon," said Jim Patterson, CEO of Patterson Advisory Group. "However, their recent investment in XO (fiber-optic business) would seem to indicate that infrastructure is becoming a more vital part of the business." Continued...

Disney's Oscar-Nominated Short Is A Hybrid Of Hand-Drawn & Computer-Generated Imagery [Video]
The 6 and a half minute animation 'Paperman', which was created using new software called Meander, has been released online.
Disney's animated short Paperman, which accompanied Wreck-It Ralph in cinemas, has been released online. The 6 and a half minute film was created by first-time director John Kahrs and a small team at Disney, and has been nominated for Best Animated Short Film at this year's Academy Awards.
The black-and-white short tells the story of a lonely young man in mid-century NYC who briefly meets a beautiful woman on his morning commute. After thinking the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he glimpses her in the skyscraper across from his office and uses his imagination and a stack of papers to get her attention.
Paperman introduces a groundbreaking technique that seamlessly blends traditional hand-drawn animation with computer-generated imagery, taking the art in a bold new direction. Wired reports:
Paperman's seemingly seamless way of blending the personality of hand-drawn animation with CGI in the physical space of the story is the result of new in-house software called Meander, a vector-based drawing program that allows for manipulation of the line after the fact — something that Kahrs described as "just like painting on the surface of the CG."
You can watch the Oscar-nominated short below:

As it turned out, I neglected to include my long-form DD-214 with the characterization of service notated on it, so 39 days after originally submitting my paperwork, I received a Notice of Suspension from the county clerk regarding my application.
So, like a good little Marine, I rooted around my house and (God bless 'er) my wife told me where I could find the long-form original copy we had stashed away. I made copies and was down at the courthouse the next day to drop off my supplementary information.
This was two weeks ago.
Today, after being somewhat exasperated by the wait, I called the courthouse and a sweet old lady answered the phone almost immediately (now that's service!).
It's on top of the pile she just had delivered to her office, approved, signed, stamped, and notarized, with a gold star for extra measure. She just had to mail it out, and they don't mail until next week. I could pick it up, but I don't want to miss the hours at work.
By this time next Friday, I will be legally concealably armed in Virginia.

Six Valley women's basketball teams are taking part in tournaments during the Thanksgiving holiday, beginning with games on Tuesday, Nov. 20.
CollegeInsider.com Women's Mid-Major Top 25 Poll
Two Valley schools rank in the top-25 of the latest (Nov. 20) CollegeInsider.com Women's Mid-Major Top 25 Poll, including Missouri State (14) and Creighton (17). Two other schools – Wichita State and Illinois State – are receiving votes.
Off to a Good Start
First year Bradley head coach Michael Brooks owns a 2-1 record as head coach of the Braves, with both victories coming on the road. Each of the last two head coaches at Bradley started out their time on The Hilltop with 0-2 records and Brooks is the fourth head coach in program history to start out 2-1 with the Braves - joining Jan Winkler (1977-78 - 4-1), Joe Stowell (1981-82 - 5-1) and Lisa Boyer (1986-87 - 2-1). The eighth head coach in program history, Brooks joined Donna Freitag as the only head coaches in school history to win their first two road games at Bradley. Frietag won her first three road games as head coach of the Braves in 1996-97.
Corbin's Senior Statement
Senior Jasmin Corbin was determined to prevent an 0-2 start in her final season as a Jay, so much so that the Omaha native posted career-highs in points (11) and steals (6) to propel Creighton past South Dakota State, 63-54, on Nov. 14. Considering that Corbin entered the game with 41 steals in 92 games, her performance was profound.
Dropping Dimes
Junior Alyssa Marschner has started both games for the Bulldogs this season at one of the guard positions. The Minnesota native only played 56 minutes all of last season but this year has already played 67 minutes and has dished out 7.5 assists per game, which leads the conference.
Triple Threat
Evansville knocked down a school-record 15 three-pointers in its 74-65 win over San Jose State Saturday afternoon. The Purple Aces finished 15-for-37 from beyond the arc, hitting nine treys in the first half. Seven UE players hit at least one shot from three-point land, as Khristian Hart led all players with five triples, marking the second time this season that she has hit five shots from long distance.
Senior guard Jamie Russell and sophomore forward Janae Smith have made large contributions to the Redbirds early in the season. Both Russell and Smith have recorded 30-plus scoring performances. Russell tied a career-high 30 points, shooting 12-of-28, against Iowa, as she set or tied a career high in five categories in the game. Russell recorded the first double-double performance of her career. She also accomplished the career-high last season against Eastern Illinois (Nov. 21, 2011). Russell also brought down 12 rebounds, including seven in the second half, and recorded eight steals, just missing a triple-double. In ISU's next game, Smith poured in a career-high 31 points against Memphis. Smith was 11-of-15 from the field, shooting 73 percent and sank 9-of-10 from the charity stripe.
Rebounding Made Easy
Sophomore Racheal Mahan has posted double-digit rebounds in all three games this season, leading the team with an average of 11.0 rebounds per game. The sophomore from Mansfield, Ohio, did not have 10 or more rebounds in any game as a freshman.
Record Debut
Missouri State freshman guard Tyonna Snow put together one of the most memorable debuts in Lady Bear history Nov. 13 against No. 22 Oklahoma State, including eight steals to set a school record for a first career game. In fact, Snow's eight steals ranked fourth in school history for a single game, just two behind Kari Koch's record of 10.
In the Books
Jacqui Kalin currently has 1,477 points in her career at UNI and is currently third all-time at UNI in career points. She is on track to become the all-time leading scorer and will need 432 points to tie the record of 1,851 points that was set by Amy Swisher who played from 2000-2004.
Macklin Hits Half Century
Sophomore guard Cartaesha Macklin became the fastest player in SIU history to reach 500 career points during Saturday's loss to Loyola-Chicago. Macklin broke SIU's freshman scoring record with 495 points last season and she tallied four points last Tuesday in SIU's season-opener against Central Arkansas.

Deputies: Man Shoots Uncle
Deputies: Man Shoots Uncle
DUPLIN COUNTY - A man is in jail, accused of shooting his uncle at work.
Duplin County deputies say it happened on Potter Hill Loop Road, near Beulaville.
The call came in shortly before 5 p.m. Friday.
Johnathan Steed, 21, is accused of shooting his uncle, Joey Thigpen.
The uncle also employs the suspect; their shop is the location of the shooting.
Deputies say the two had an altercation, which led to Steed shooting his uncle in the arm.
The two live on the same road, in separate residences.
The uncle was treated and released from a hospital.
Steed is facing several charges in connection with the incident.

Dawn: He said, 'I needed to give the money to Jerry.' So, I said, 'Fine, I'll mail Jerry Lynn a check for $30.' I mean, even Jerry Lynn went public and said I was the one that helped him get money from the Cauliflower Alley Club. That he was thankful for the help that I did give him. That he knew I was not able to do a campaign for him.
Karl Lauer even went public and he tweeted that had it not been for me, Jerry Lynn, "Dr. Death' and Kamala all wouldn't have gotten money. I was the one that made them aware of what was going on. Karl Lauer is the president of the Cauliflower Alley Club.
WrestlingINC: With Heffron, had you two been in touch over the years and or did this sort of come out of the blue when he said this?
Dawn: Honestly, out of everything that has happened, Brian doing what he did hurt the most. Because I thought we were friends, like co-workers. I'm not saying best buddies that picked up the phone and talked. But, when I saw him, I was happy to see him, like, 'Oh, my God. Nice to see you.' We were genuinely good friends. I was happy to see him when I saw him and I thought it was mutual.
To be honest with you, that really hurt my feelings the most. Him, Nova and Stevie Richards. Stevie Richards I was never really friendly with. I didn't really know him that well. But, with Nova, I grew up with Nova. We all grew up together -- that's how I look at it. I really hurt my feelings more than anything..
More than anything that Kamala said, more than anything else. All the stuff that Kamala said, I can prove is false. But the fact thast people that I thought were my friends kind of turned against me so viciously -- that hurt.
WrestlingINC: So, how did the Kamala campaign start? Did he reach out to you or did you reach out to him? How did that get started?
Dawn: I never even knew Kamala. I knew him, I watched him. But, I never met him before. I got his number from Jimmy Snuka and called him up and told him about Wrestler's Rescue and we would do a campaign for him and help him make his home more handicap accessible. He agreed to it and we started doing the campaign.
Then, what happened was that I had a feeling that he needed some of the money. Just by talking to him, that's the feeling I got from him. So, I said to Mel, 'Send him lots of money. I'll send him $500 because that's all I can get my hands on because of PayPal.' PayPal will only let me transfer $500 a month. We really didn't raise much more than that for him, but i knew that we had at least raised $500 for him.
I said, 'I didn't do the book-keeping yet, but I know that we have raised $500 for you. I know that I can get my hands on that. So, let me send that out for you.' That was on the 18th. On the 20th, we got the check. On the 21st, it was mailed out. Between the 21st and the 25th, he received my mail, opened it up and put it into a new envelope and he certified mailed it back to me. Then, on the 31st, he went out and did this video, saying that I never gave him one dime. Just slamming me and saying horrible things about the foundation. It doesn't make any sense.
WrestlingINC: Why do you think he sent it back?
Dawn: I have no idea. The one thing I heard from a mutual friend was that he felt he didn't get it fast enough. I don't know how much faster I could have given it to him. [Laughs.] You know what I mean? That's even in some of his rants, 'She didn't send me out the check until after the video.' That's his biggest call is that I never sent him money until after he exposed me., Which is blatant lie and the mail doesn't lie. his YouTube shows he posted it on the 31st and the mail came back to me on the 26th. It's a blatant lie.

Minister for Social Services, the Hon Christian Porter MP recently announced the selection of 27 finalists for the 2015 National Disability Awards.

"The number of finalists reflects the breadth of talent through the more than 200 nominations received. There have been some fantastic achievements and it has made the job of the independent judging panel difficult."
Fishability was announced as one of the finalists in the category of Excellence in Accessibility – Technology for the development of our 'Fishability Map', our interactive map highlighting 143 locations around Western Australia which are suitable for people with disabilities to go fishing from.

I took my blown mustang out yesterday, and got in a tangle with a blue Sti on Rt 175E in MD (near Columbia). Just wondering if it was anyone here. If so, don't feel bad -I have a wrx and an evo, and I'm a big fan of the the 4cyl/turbo/AWD platform. The stang you raced has 455 rwhp (the blower whine should have warned you), weighs 3200lb and ran 11.6 at 123 last time at the track.
About the race (for the rest of you). I was waiting alone at a redlight, when this blue Sti pulled up to me in the next lane. I wasn't sure he if he was going to go for it, until he started reving just before the green. Light turns green and we both react at about the same time. Because of traction, I pretty much have no choice but to launch off idle. So he initially jumped out about a car length ahead. I reeled him in and got even with him in the middle of 2nd gear (about 45-50 mph). In third gear, it got really ugly and I pulled at least 6-8 carlengths on him. I let off there, thinking that he gave up. Instead I get a fly-by (he must have taken it up to triple digit speeds after that). I just coasted, hoping to catch him at the next light, but he either made the green or turned off.
From the flyby, I felt like he was kind of a poor sport. Props to the Sti though. It really bolted off the line -even chirped the tires (something I can't do with my Evo).

What Are Spiritual Gifts?Spiritual gifts are talents and abilities that God bestows upon individual believers at the time of their salvation. These gifts enable believers to perform God's work, and every believer has at least one spiritual gift. In order to recognize our own spiritual gifts, we must know what types of gifts exist. The following discussion addresses several categories of spiritual gifts, although other categorizations might be valid as well.
EvangelismThe spiritual gift of evangelism is noted in Ephesians 4:11 by the Greek word "euggelistes" which literally means "messenger of good," and the person possessing this gift has an uncanny ability to give out the good news about salvation. This person has an exceptional ability to reach the lost for Christ. The evangelist has a particular knack for explaining the gospel message in such a way that unbelievers understand it, and are converted into believers and brought into Christ's church. Although some evangelists reach large numbers of unbelievers who believe, such as Billy Graham, most people with this gift operate on a much smaller scale, according to God's will, but with similar effectiveness.
Pastor / TeacherThe pastor / teacher spiritual gift is also noted in Ephesians 4:11. As one might expect, these two Greek words mean "pastor" and "teacher", respectively. The pastor is a shepherd for the sheep of the congregation. His role including caring for the members of the local church as a shepherd cares for his sheep. He leads the sheep, provides for them, and protects them. Last, but not least, he feeds the sheep through his other gift of teacher, or instructor, by teaching them Bible doctrine. While Christ uses the evangelist to bring unbelievers into the church, He uses the pastor / teacher to build up the believers in the church.
ExhortationExhortation, in Romans 12:8, means to call to one's side for aid. The person with this spiritual gift has the ability to encourage people and move them to action. The exhorter is able to make pertinent application of the Bible doctrine principals taught by the pastor teacher, and to help others to recognize and exercise those applications.
MinistryThe spiritual gift of ministry encompasses a broad range of talents. Romans 12:7 uses the word "diakonia" which means service, and 1 Corinthians 12:28 uses the word "antilepsis" which means helps, or to lay hold of so as to give support. This gift includes services of a general nature which are performed in the local church, so this person is a help to the local congregation. This gift may incorporate one's natural abilities which the Holy Spirit sanctifies for spiritual productivity, by applying them to practical and essential services in the church.
AdministrationAdministration is a spiritual gift described in Romans 12:8 by the word "proistemi", which means to "rule", or "to stand before", and the word "kubernao" in 1 Corinthians 12:28, which means "governments." This person is a leader in the local church, and this gift could be called the gift of leadership, although it is separate and distinct from the pastor / teacher gift. The person with the gift of administration is able to create a sense of confidence, diligence, zeal, and urgency in order to urge the church members to take action and make things happen.
GivingThe spiritual gift of giving in Romans 12:8 describes an ability to give a share of one's resources to the Lord's work in a mighty way. This person can make big things happen in the church, but he/she isn't necessarily a rich person. He/she might find ways to give large sums of money, or maybe to give a large percentage of his/her money and possessions. This person might also be able to give in such a way that the returns are tremendous. This implies a sense of where to invest one's resources for the greatest gain for Christ.
MercyThe spiritual gift of mercy in Romans 12:8 is a gift that enables the believer to enter sympathetically into the misery of others, so as to take the appropriate required. This person can sense needs, such as the sick and afflicted, and he/she is able to secure the resources required to help and comfort the needy.
TeachingTeaching can be a spiritual gift, as is described in Romans 12:7 and 1 Corinthians 12:28. The person with the gift of teaching is able to present Bible doctrine in such a way that it is clearly understood by believers. According to 1 Corinthians 12:28, this may well be the most important spiritual gift, because it is by this gift that believers receive a clear understanding of Bible doctrine. This person may not have a superior knowledge of Bible doctrine, but he/she is able to effectively explain it to others, and provide the instruction they need for their transition from salvation to spiritual maturity.
FaithThe spiritual gift of faith in 1 Corinthians 12:9 describes faith in the sense of a firm persuasion or conviction. This is more than the saving faith that brings each of us into God's family. The person with the gift of faith has an uncanny ability to trust God for large needs. An example is George Mueller, who repeatedly trusted God to provide for food for the children in his orphanage. The person with this gift is willing and able to step out on faith, even when others might say it's not the logical thing to do. This implies a sense of discernment from God as to what will work and what won't. If a person without this gift steps out on faith without the accompanying discernment from God, his/her plans might well fail. Therefore, confirmation of this gift is revealed when such plans repeatedly succeed.
What Are Your Spiritual Gifts?Which ones of these spiritual gifts do you have, and how do you know? Here are three good guidelines:

Rome vows to block funeral of convicted war criminal Priebke
ROME (Reuters) - Civil and church authorities have moved to prevent a funeral in Rome for Erich Priebke, a Nazi war criminal convicted of one of Italy's worst wartime massacres, who died last week at the age of 100.
Priebke, who never apologized for his role in the killing of 335 civilians in the Ardeatine Caves near Rome in 1944 and who denied the Nazi Holocaust ever took place, was serving a life sentence under house arrest in the Italian capital when he died.
His death, like his 100th birthday in July, has brought into the open some of the deep tensions that remain in the aftermath of World War Two in Italy, which came close to civil war after the fascist dictatorship of Benito Mussolini collapsed in 1943.
Rome daily Il Messaggero showed a graffito painted outside Priebke's Rome residence saying "Honour to Priebke" in Italian with a Nazi swastika alongside.
The former SS officer's lawyer Paolo Giachini told Reuters on Sunday the family would ask to have Priebke buried in Rome as soon as the formal registration procedures were completed and the body was released, but there was immediate opposition.
Ignazio Marino, the center-left mayor of Rome, said it would be an insult for Priebke to be buried in the city.
"I will do everything in my power to prevent the burial of Erich Priebke in Rome," he said in a statement.
Church authorities also said he would not receive a religious burial in Rome.
"There are no plans for any church funeral in Rome for Erich Priebke," church spokesman Walter Insero was quoted as saying by the Catholic daily Avvenire. Continued...

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last month told a meeting of business people that she was not running for president in 2012, and this was repeated during a visit to New Zealand. She was asked by a reporter if the time had come for a women to be nominated and elected to the presidency. She replied, "Yes, but not me." She emphasized how happy she was "doing what I am doing as Secretary of State." It is confession time for me. I supported the candidacy of Barack Obama in 2008 because I thought he had more progressive ideas than Hillary Clinton. I WAS WRONG, I APOLOGIZE!! Hillary Clinton knows more about the world of politics than either Barack Obama or the group of elitists who surround him at the White House. I doubt if Hillary Clinton would have pushed for a health bill in 2009 and most probably she would have focused on the banking system and the need for jobs.
I got suckered by Barack Obama and made the mistake of accepting that what he said was what he would do. Wow! What a mistake on my part.

What is Medical Technology? Medical technologists serve as technical assistants to pathologists, performing clinical laboratory procedures helpful to physicians in the determination of the nature, course, and treatment of disease. A Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with emphasis in Medical Technology at FMU is awarded after successful completion of 124 credit hours of classroom and laboratory work. A cooperative program with McLeod Regional Medical Center allows the student to become a medical technologist in 4 years, if the student completes his/her clinical studies during the senior year (the "3 + 1" option). Students may alternatively elect to first obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, with the appropriate prerequisites, and then apply to the Medical Technology program for their clinical year of study (the "4 + 1" option). This option would require 5 years of study.
Application to this program must be made during the student's junior year (for the 3 + 1 option), and acceptance is on a competitive basis. For more information about Medical Technology at FMU contact the Program Director, Dr. Larry McCumber, by email: email@example.com or phone: (843) 661-1401.
